Wis. state senator wants block use of dogs in wolf hunt
March 04, 2013 at 10:54 AM
MADISON, Wis. (AP) — A Democratic state senator is circulating a bill that would prohibit wolf hunters from using dogs.
The Associated Press
Sen. Fred Risser of Madison sent an email to his fellow lawmakers on Monday asking for co-sponsors. He notes in the email that humane societies oppose the use of dogs in the wolf hunt.
A group of humane societies filed a lawsuit in August alleging state wildlife officials failed to impose any restrictions on using and training dogs on wolves. A Dane County judge issued a temporary injunction that blocked the use of dogs during the wolf season. In January the judge approved dog use during the hunt but barred training them on wolves.
Risser's bill has little chance of passing. Republicans control both the Senate and Assembly.

|Oracle® Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle IRM Server
11g Release 1 (11.1.1)
Part Number E12326-03
|PDF · Mobi · ePub
When sealing content, it is useful to be able to look up the file extension that Oracle IRM Desktop uses. The content operations described later in this section provide useful operations for obtaining file extension information, such as looking up sealed file extensions.
Sealed content uses file extensions that differ from the ones used for unsealed files. For example, a PDF file has the file extension .pdf, whereas a sealed PDF file has the file extension .spdf. The sealed file extension allows Oracle IRM Desktop to identify what file format the sealed content is, and display appropriate sealed file icons. The table below shows some example file extensions and the corresponding sealed file extension.
Sealed content includes a MIME type in the sealed content metadata. This MIME type is used by Oracle IRM Desktop to identify the format of the unsealed content. The MIME type is an alternative way of detecting the file format when the content is not stored in a file (for example, a stream of data downloaded from a HTTP server). Unsealed MIME types vary and there are many examples where a single file format has more than one MIME type. For this reason the sealed content contains a sealed MIME type rather than the unsealed content MIME type. For example, a PDF file has the MIME type
application/pdf, whereas a sealed PDF file will have a MIME type of
application/vnd.sealedmedia.softseal.pdf added to the metadata.
Opening up sealed content in an editor will show that a sealed MIME type is added to the metadata. For example, the public header of a sealed PDF file:
<?xml version="1.0" ?> <content:PublicHeader xmlns:content="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/content" xmlns:classifications="http://xmlns.oracle.com/irm/classifications"> <contentDescription> ... <sealedMime>application/vnd.sealedmedia.softseal.pdf</sealedMime> ... </contentDescription> </content:PublicHeader>
The sealing server provides a web service that can be used to query file and MIME type information. Sealed content file format information is immutable, so consider retrieving this information once and using a local copy when processing sealed files. This will avoid potentially expensive remote calls to a sealing server.
When sealing a file a common scenario is to create the corresponding sealed file next to the original. The
getSealedFileName operation takes a path and file name or just a file name and provides the equivalent sealed file name.
ContentTypeOperations contentTypeOperations = new ContentTypeOperationsService().getContentTypeOperations(); String results = contentTypeOperations.getSealedFileName("/usr/home/john/sample.html");
In the example above the results of calling the method would be
A content type object contains all the file type information for content that can be sealed. The content type specifies the file extension(s), its sealed file extension, and the associated MIME types. Content type objects can be obtained using the file extension or the MIME type of the sealed or unsealed content.
ContentTypeOperations contentTypeOperations = new ContentTypeOperationsService().getContentTypeOperations(); ContentType results = contentTypeOperations.getContentTypeFromExtension("pdf");
The IRM Java API supplies a set of methods that can be used to query MIME type and file extension details when working with sealed content.
Given an unsealed file name, the corresponding sealed file name can be found using the
getSealedFileName operation. This method is useful when sealing content and deciding what the output file name should be.
import static oracle.irm.engine.content.type.ContentTypeOperationsInstance.getSealedFileName; .. String results = getSealedFileName("/usr/home/john/sample.html")
Given an unsealed or sealed file name, the MIME type and sealed file extension details can be found using the
getContentTypeFromExtension method.
import static oracle.irm.engine.content.type.ContentTypeOperationsInstance.getContentTypeFromExtension; import oracle.irm.engine.content.type.ContentType; .. ContentType results = getContentTypeFromExtension("pdf")

Business gamification company Innovation Games has released its ScrumKnowsy browser-based "serious game" designed to be used by developers to improve their Scrum practice.
Players can challenge "oracles" like Scrum creator Jeff Sutherland, or Scrum trainers inside the game, to discover how their Scrum practice compares, or play multiplayer games to track alignment on Scrum practices, roles, and responsibilities.
"The key to successful, high-performing teams rests in alignment. Not just alignment of goals, but alignment of roles, responsibilities, methods of work, and communication," said Innovation Games CEO Luke Hohmann. "While there's been a lot of discussion about of the importance of alignment and team integrity, a way to effectively test (and improve) team alignment hasn't emerged."
"ScrumKnowsy gives teams a fun and effective way to explore how well they are aligned in their mission," Hohmann continued. "By formally testing, sharing, and discussing the results of games, teams will explicitly reduce the degree of ambiguity and equivocality of the shared outcomes they seek to create."
Key features of ScrumKnowsy are individual or multiplayer games: ScrumKnowsy lets you play on your own or with teams, tackling such topics as retrospectives, sprint planning, backlogs, and impediment lists. The ScrumKnowsy system allows individuals and teams to track their game results over time, providing real-time information on improvement and performance.
"ScrumKnowsy is designed for ongoing self-assessment," said ScrumTide partner Jim "Cope" Coplien, "because that's what Agile is about. The goal is to have fun and create value, and ScrumKnowsy helps Agile teams meet that goal."
Forrester Analyst Tom Grant recently profiled ScrumKnowsy and its role in facilitating Agility at Scale, writing, "Clearly, the approach that ScrumKnowsy takes is a lot less obnoxious than the Agile standards star chamber and a lot easier to use for regular reinforcement than training classes."

There are several neat websites that follow bird migration up to Michigan:
The Journey North website studies wildlife migration and seasonal change. It tracks the coming of spring through the migration patterns of the Baltimore Oriole, Ruby-throated hummingbirds, Red-winged Blackbirds, and other birds and mammals. You can look at the past seasons to predict upcoming visits or watch the Spring 2012 maps as people report their sightings of birds on the way north.
The Purple Martin Conservation Association also has migratory maps. Several reports have already been submitted for sitings of the purple martins in the southern states.
And the website I check most frequently in the spring is Hummingbirds.net. The maps of the Migration of Ruby-throated Hummingbirds are updated daily and like the other websites it has lots of useful information.
As a quick reference:
- Bluebirds are year round in mid-Michigan and can begin scouting out possible nesting sites as early as January.
- Robins are year round in mid-Michigan but you'll see them more frequently in your yard~mid-February
- Red Winged Blackbirds ~ Beginning of March
- Ruby-throated Hummingbird ~ April 15 (tax time)
- Purple Martin ~ mid-April
- Warblers ~mid-May

Mike Conley had 17 points, Zach Randolph added 10 points and 15 rebounds and the Memphis Grizzlies overcame a poor start to beat the Chicago Bulls 80-71 on Monday night.
Conley was 6 of 12 from the field and had four assists. Rudy Gay had 12 points for Memphis but shot 5 of 13, continuing his slump. Wayne Ellington scored all 11 of his points in the second quarter, when the Grizzlies reserves provided a lift after a sluggish first period.
Carlos Boozer led the Bulls with 16 points and 13 rebounds, while Marco Belinelli finished with 13 points. Luol Deng and Joakim Noah had 11 points apiece for the Bulls, but Deng was 4 of 17 from the field.
Both teams shot just better than 37 percent. But Memphis was 6 of 11 from 3-point range compared to the Bulls hitting only 2 of 11 long-range shots. The Memphis frontline of Gay, Randolph and Marc Gasol were a combined 10 of 34, while the Bulls starting frontline of Deng, Boozer and Noah made 16 of 42.
Memphis controlled the boards 51-39 and had 18 offensive rebounds.
The Grizzlies shot just 4 of 22 in the first quarter and had six turnovers in fall in behind in the first.
But the Memphis bench brought the energy in the second that was missing from the starters. Quincy Pondexter, Jerryd Bayless and Ellington contributed on the offensive end, hitting all five of their shots from 3-point range in the period.
Ellington had 11 points in the period to lead Memphis to a 39-34 lead at the break, the Grizzlies biggest lead of the half.
Boozer had 12 points on 5 of 9 from the field and grabbed eight rebounds for Chicago.
The leading scorers on both teams were struggling at that point. Deng, who averages 17.8 per game, was limited to four points on 2 of 7 from the field.
Gay, meanwhile, missed all six of his shots in the half and was scoreless.
Memphis extended the lead to 61-53 entering the fourth, as Conley scored seven in the third. Noah had six points for Chicago.
Marreese Speights would connect on a tip-in to open the fourth for the first double-digit lead of the game at 63-53.
Chicago turned up the defensive pressure at that point, becoming much more active in challenging the Grizzlies and pushing them to uncomfortable passes.
Offensively, the Bulls were trying to get Deng involved, but he hit only 3 of his 12 shots by the time the game reached the midway point of the fourth.
Chicago got within five points when Jimmy Butler scored on a breakaway dunk with 5:05 left. Memphis then extended the lead back to double digits, providing enough of a buffer for the Grizzlies to win their second straight.

Anthony's Gap Commercial Idea
I have always been a big fan of Louie Prima. Before "Jump, Jive, & Wail" was covered by Brian Stezer, I was choreographing it for my students at Steps Ahead Dance Studio. Shortly After the song was featured in one of the very first (maybe even THE first) Gap Ad. Here was my idea for a Gap spot. I called it "Tap Into the Gap".

Oops, You're Lost!
It's getting dark. You're cold. You're wet. And you aren't sure where your hunting camp is. What do you do now?
The best way to survive a potentially dangerous situation is to avoid it. Any time a person is hunting, there is a chance that he or she may become lost especially when hunting in an unfamiliar area. If you don't feel comfortable hunting in an area, or if you feel unprepared, don't do it. Don't take the chance. As a rule of thumb: the greater the chance of becoming lost, the more detailed your preparation needs to be.

Gun Control Fight in Focus for President Obama
The president tries to build political momentum on gun control
WASHINGTON, April 7, 2013 -- With the Senate returning from a two-week recess, the Obama administration is gearing up for an all-out push this week to get lawmakers to take action on gun control.
President Obama, Vice President Joe Biden and Michelle Obama all have events scheduled this week to advocate for the administration's gun proposals, but even though Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., moved a comprehensive gun package to the calendar for the Senate to consider in April, it is not clear whether Republicans will let the measure come to a vote.
Obama is scheduled to push for gun control Monday at the University of Hartford, just 50 miles north of Sandy Hook Elementary School, where 20 children and six educators were gunned down last year, sparking a national call for reform on gun legislation.
Last week, Obama made a similar appeal in Denver, Colo., just four miles from the site of another mass shooting last year at an Aurora movie theater.
"The only way this time will be different is if the American people demand that this time it must be different; that this time we must do something to protect our communities and our kids," the president said Wednesday.
On Tuesday, Biden is scheduled to host an event with law enforcement officials at the White House, and the first lady plans to travel to Chicago on Wednesday to speak about eliminating violence in communities.
The bill that Reid moved to the Senate calendar does not include the controversial assault weapons ban, but concerns about the universal background check requirement in the plan have placed the bill's future in a holding pattern as some Republicans have voiced concern that it will lead to a national registry of guns.
The full Senate could begin consideration of the gun measures as early as this week or potentially the week after, but a group of senators, led by Rand Paul, Mike Lee and Ted Cruz, have threatened to filibuster "any legislation that infringe on the American people's constitutional right to bear arms, or on their ability to exercise this right without being subjected to government surveillance."
"We will oppose the motion to proceed to any legislation that will serve as a vehicle for any additional gun restrictions," the senators wrote in a letter to Reid.
One senior Republican senator said the legislation should at least receive consideration on the Senate floor rather than be blocked by a filibuster.
"I don't understand it. What are we afraid of?" Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
"Please let us go to the floor. If we go to the floor, I'm still hopeful that what I call the sweet spot -- background checks -- can succeed. We're working hard there," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said on CBS' "Face the Nation."
White House senior adviser David Pfeiffer told ABC News' George Stephanopoulos the administration believes the background check portion of the bill will be approved "if people are willing to compromise."
"Now that the cameras are off, and they're not forced to look the Newtown families in the face, now they want to make it harder, and filibuster it," Pfeiffer asid. "If we have a simple up, or down vote, we can get this done."
"This is an issue that has 90 percent support. What the president wants is to sign a strong bipartisan bill that has enforceable background checks. And we can get that done," Pfeiffer said on ABC's "This Week" Sunday.
As the Senate weighs national gun measures this month, several states have already taken action and passed sweeping gun legislation over the past month. Colorado, Maryland and New York have enacted new gun restrictions in addition to Connecticut, which last week signed into law some of the nation's strictest gun laws since the massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary.
"We have come together in a way that relatively few places in our nation have demonstrated an ability to do," Gov. Dannel Malloy, D-Conn., said at the bill signing on Thursday.
Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, who opposes the assault weapons ban and universal background checks, criticized Connecticut's legislation.
"The problem with what Connecticut did is the criminals, the drug dealers, the people that are going to do horror and terror, they aren't going to cooperate," LaPierre said in a Fox News interview Thursday.
"Wayne reminds me of the clowns at the circus. They get the most attention. That's what he's paid to do," Malloy said on CNN's "State of the Union" Sunday. "This guy is so out of whack. It's unbelievable."
An ABC News/Washington Post poll conducted in March found that 91 percent of the public favors universal background checks. 52 percent favored stricter gun control laws in the country.
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

On the football field, Towson University's game Saturday night against No. 3 Louisiana State University gave 60 players a chance to dream of the ultimate upset.
Off the field, it gave the Towson athletic department the funds it needs to stay solvent and the sort of exposure that could help the school and the football program grow.
LSU paid Towson $510,000 to travel to Baton Rouge's Tiger Stadium, which seats more than 92,000 people and is considered one of the nation's most difficult places to play.
Guarantee games, as they're called, are commonplace in the revenue-producing sports of football and men's basketball. The economic explanation is not complicated: A large school like LSU generates so much revenue from a home game that it can easily afford to pay a school like Towson to fill an open date on its schedule for a game the visitor has little chance of winning.
Peer schools typically schedule home-and-home series, agreeing to play at each other's stadiums in subsequent seasons. But big schools like LSU, which has $96 million in annual athletic expenses, need to play homes games to generate revenue, so they pay smaller schools to visit.
Had Towson opted to schedule a home game against a fellow Football Championship Subdivision team — the second tier of Division I — it would have generated about $85,000 and then the school would have had to spend about 20 percent of that on game-day expenses.
Saturday's game, combined with the season-opener at Kent State, generated a total of $835,000. Those are the two highest payouts in Towson history, athletic director Mike Waddell said, and represent 5 percent of Towson's $18.5 million athletic department budget.
"The impact it has for us, that's obviously pretty significant," Waddell said. "Playing two FBS [Football Bowl Subdivision, college football's top level] teams, and one of them a high, high-level national title contender, is probably not something we want to do every year. But we thought the opportunity to take a risk and grow the brand was worth it."
Head coach Rob Ambrose hesitated when first approached with the idea during the summer of 2011. His teams had won only three games in his first two seasons; last year's remarkable turnaround was still ahead of him.
While other Football Championship Subdivision powers routinely face teams from football's highest level, Towson had not taken those risks. LSU is just the fifth Football Bowl Subdivision team it has faced.
Waddell is convinced that Towson players — those on the roster as well as those being recruited to join the team for future years — crave the chance to play against bigger schools.
"I really believe that every kid playing at our level feels they were slighted and passed over, and that they shouldn't have been," he said. "Having a chance to prove themselves, that's a big selling point."
Mike Farrell, a recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, warns that not all exposure is good exposure.
"I don't think there's a benefit to being on television and losing by 70 points," he said. "You expect them to get drummed, but there's got to be something memorable about it. If they can keep it close for a little bit, make it a story, then, yes, it's going to help the school down the line. Young players will recognize it."
Waddell sees an intangible value in playing guarantee games, no matter the outcome.
Towson rarely has played on national television, but Saturday's game was broadcast on ESPNU. National writers and broadcasters mentioned Towson — at least in passing — as they discussed LSU, a national title contender.
Towson did spend more than usual on both guarantee games. The team chartered flights when it usually would either ride a bus or fly commercial.
The Kent State game was played on a Thursday night, and the charter allowed the players to return for Friday classes. Using a charter to fly to Louisiana also made sense, Waddell said, because of how expensive it would have been to ship the players' equipment had they taken a commercial flight.
Waddell also used the trip to woo donors. About 20 traveled with the players, coaches, cheerleaders and administrators.
Still, the school cleared $390,000, which is placed into a general fund. Some of it was earmarked to help pay for a $250,000 renovation of several locker rooms, but private donations also had been set aside for that project.
Towson is by no means the only school that looks to guarantee money to pad the athletic budget.
Coppin State has long helped fund its athletic department through men's basketball. This year, the Eagles will receive $92,500 and $90,000 for games against USC and Texas, respectively, to open the season. During the holiday break, Coppin State will earn $260,000 by traveling to Iowa, Arizona State and Akron.
And coach Fang Mitchell also will take his team to play Indiana — a possible preseason No. 1 — for $90,000. Indiana made an average of $350,000 in ticket sales alone for each of its nonconference home games last year.
On the other side of the checkbook, the University of Maryland would not disclose how much it spends on guarantee games. This year, its football team played — and barely beat — the College of William & Mary. Maryland has also scheduled several home basketball games against smaller schools.
Though Waddell said he has tried not to rely too heavily on guarantee money as he budgets for future years, Towson will have to play them for the forseeable future. The football team travels to Connecticut next year and West Virginia in 2014, earning about $300,000 for each game.
He works closely with coaches to set team schedules, he said, but "every decision we make is about money."

A few years ago, 3-D was hailed as the next big thing in television, the logical successor to high definition. But viewers in the United States did not buy the hype, and now the eye-popping format is seen as an expensive flop.
That impression was cemented last week when ESPN, the nation's largest sports network and an early adopter of 3-D technology, said it was turning off its three-year-old 3-D channel. A spokeswoman said the decision was "due to limited consumer adoption of 3-D services to the home."
The news spurred debate about whether anyone would be left watching in 3-D soon, or whether anything would be available worth watching.
"Many in the industry have said over the last few years that if ESPN ever pulled the plug on 3-D TV, that would be the format's final chapter," Phillip Swann, the publisher of the industry Web site TVPredictions.com, wrote after ESPN's announcement. "Today, it's hard to deny that statement."
The only other big 3-D channel, called 3net, a joint venture of Discovery Communications, Sony and Imax, said it was undeterred by ESPN's decision. But 3net has had a hard time getting onto cable and satellite systems, and a Discovery spokesman said last week that "it's our equivalent of R&D," or research and development, hardly a rousing endorsement.
The format is healthier at the box office, but even there, only 36 films were released in 3-D last year, down 20 percent from the peak in 2011, according to the Motion Picture Association of America. Over all, 3-D box office revenue was flat.
When television manufacturers started to aggressively market the technology in 2010 — helped by the theatrical release of "Avatar" by James Cameron in December 2009 and fantastical ideas about how it would feel to be immersed in a sporting event or an action movie — skeptics predicted little consumer demand for 3-D television. They turned out to be right. Television owners generally rejected the glasses that were usually required to see in 3-D and found that the format was not as immersive as promised.
But pioneering networks like ESPN, which is controlled by the Walt Disney Company, learned much about what did and did not work in producing 3-D. In stadiums, for instance, 3-D cameras had to be closer to the field than traditional cameras.
ESPN televised 380 sporting events in 3-D, but the dedicated channel never became big enough to be rated by the Nielsen Company. That may be because it was sold separately from other channels; the research firm SNL Kagan recently estimated that it had "well under one million" paying subscribers.
Amy Phillips, an ESPN spokeswoman, said, "While we don't necessarily have a gauge of the most popular, we do know from viewer feedback that big events like the B.C.S. National Championship Game and the tennis majors were fan favorites."
Some Summer Olympics events were televised in 3-D last year, too. NBCUniversal has not said whether it will do that again during the Winter Olympics next February in Sochi, Russia.
Carolina Milanesi, a research vice president for Gartner, a technology research company, said the 3-D format suffered from "a chicken-and-egg situation where content wasn't created because of low penetration of 3-D TVs in the home, and consumers were not buying 3-D TVs due
to the lack of compelling content."
While many big-screen television sets now come with 3-D capabilities and glasses, most households with those sets rarely use them, if at all. "Our family falls in that category," Ms. Milanesi said.
Data from DisplaySearch, a unit of the NPD Group, suggests that sales of 3-D sets are stronger overseas. For the 3net joint venture, that has been important.
"The content library is helping us across a number of business segments," said David C. Leavy, a spokesman for Discovery. "Some Europe and Asia markets where there is more interest and competition among operators are doing deals with 3-D content."
Meanwhile, the television manufacturers that had been pushing 3-D are now promoting a newer format, "ultra HD" or 4K, which promises four times the resolution of the high-definition sets that most Americans own. Never mind that in many cases the additional detail is not perceptible by the human eye; 3net has been emphasizing its production of programming in 4K, and ESPN said its experiments with that format would continue.
ESPN also left the door open to more 3-D programming, if only slightly.
"Creating quality 3-D telecasts takes skill and learnings specific to 3-D production — and we have more experience than anyone to do that," Ms. Phillips said.
"If consumer adoption should take off in the coming years," she said, "we have the knowledge and the expertise to ramp up quickly and deliver compelling programming."

from R News Vol. 7/1 April 2007 (http://cran.r-project.org/doc/Rnews/Rnews_2007-1.pdf):
If you need to run R code that executes for long periods of time upon remote machines, this amazing unix tool would became your best friend!
screen is a so-called terminal multiplexor, which allows us to create, shuffle, share, and suspend command line sessions within one window. It provides protection against disconnections and the flexibility to retrieve command line sessions remotely.
Starting using this utility is easy like ABC:
- Log in to remote server
- Run screen
- Run R and the long calculation
- Detach screen (Ctrl-a, Ctrl-d)
- Logout
The R session continues working in the background, contained within the screen session. If we want to revisit the session to check its progress, then we:
- Log in remotely via secure shell
- Start screen -r, which recalls the unattached session
- Examine how your calculation/script is performing
- Detach the screen session, (Ctrl-a, Ctrl-d)
- Log out
This procedure can be used, clearly, for invoking whatever unix program/command you need to use; it is sufficient to substitute the R invoking command with your invoking command line program(for example python).
As usual in the shell-space, invoking man

Charkadio cave is the most important place around the world in terms of abundance of palaeontological material of dwarf elephants that lived in Europe. The excavations, by the Department of Historical Geology and Palaeontology of University of Athens, started in 1971 and continue until today (Symeonides 1972, Bachmayer et al. 1976, 1984, Theodorou 1983, 1984, 1988, Theodorou et al. 1997) and have brought to light a very rich fauna of endemic fossil dwarf elephants.
In particular, the professor of Geology and Palaeontology N. Symeonidis, from the University of Athens, visited Tilos in November 1971 in order to study the human bones and skulls that existed in Saint Antonios' gulf. These relics came from humans who were buried in the coastal sand during the Historical years. During his visit in the caves of the island, he discovered more than 15.000 fossil bones of more than 40 dwarf elephants, which were of 120-150 cm height and belong to the species Palaeoloxodon Antiquus Falconeri BUSK.
The elephants lived on the island during the last 50.000 years and they disappeared 3.700 years ago. These dates reveal that they are the last elephants in Europe. Their discovery was judged particularly important from a palaeontological and geological point of view.
Apart from dwarf elephant fossils, the fossils and bones of other mammals, such as deer, turtles and micro-mammals, as well as splinters from tusks that were possibly used as tools, were found in Charkadio cave. Recent excavations conducted in July 2000 and July 2001, revealed for the first time the remains of dwarf elephants' skeletons and specifically former and ulterior legs and vertebras coming from young and adult animals.
An important factor that contributed to the evolution, as well as to the disappearance of dwarf elephants, seems to be the important fluctuations of the island size during the Pleistocene that was mainly attributed to the sea level changes and volcanoes.
The excavations that have been conducted until now have produced approximately 10.000 parts of dwarf elephants' skeletons. This material constitutes only 30% and the rest of it still exists inside the cave. The excavations haven't stopped and it is expected that the findings will be important and unusual in the Aegean.

Nobody thinks a Total Recall remake is a good idea, but it's still happening. And now it's been announced that Underworld director Len Wiseman is in final talks to direct, from a script by Equilibrium/Ultraviolet director Kurt Wimmer. This will be a new "contemporized" adaptation. The press release quotes Wiseman:
I've always been fascinated with Philip K. Dick's short story, and I'm excited at that prospect of diving even deeper into the type of world it evokes and the questions it asks. I love that the most crucial mystery our character is trying to solve is the one of his own soul.
As UGO's Jordan Hoffman puts it:
Aronofsky to remake RoboCop? Okay, I'm curious. Len Wiseman doing Total Recall - smells like Rollerball all over again.

The first week of December, the weather was perfect and the work was finished within the week.
I've needed far too much work done on my home this year, and the response rate from other contractors has been nearly nothing at all. When Evergreen saw that I need additional work in my home, they offered to give a quick quote. A couple of days later, there was someone at my home.

Like 3 weeks later the team arrived and it was all done 3 days later. The roof looks fantastic and caused zero stress.

It may be difficult to focus on work or school with the warm, sunny weather this week.
Temperatures will run several degrees above average for San Diego County.
Residents along the coast will see temperatures reaching 80 degrees at the beaches, and those living inland may see temps reaching into the 90s according to NBC 7 Meteorologist Jodi Kodesh.
"We are going to be in for a mini heat wave Monday and Tuesday," Kodesh said.
Most of the county is normally seeing temperatures near the upper 60s this time of year, she added.
The high pressure system will bring the desert heat and some winds for the next few days.
Temperatures will start to dip Thursday.

I currently taking a class on data structures and we had recitation and there are a few questions I don't quite understand how to solve.
Please explain how to do these questions
(a) [7.5 minutes] Write psuedocode for an O(n)-time algorithm for finding that number. Use an additional array of size n+1 to help you. Verify that the algorithm is O(n).
(b) [7.5 minutes] Write pseudocode for an O(n)-time algorithm for finding that number, but use only a constant amount of additional space besides the array A itself. Verify that the algorithm is O(n) and the extra space used is O(1).
2.) What is the number of operations (assignment statements) that occur in the following code fragment in closed form in terms of n? In Big O notation? (Note: Ignore assignment operators inside loop headers and you may assume n is a power of 2)
int d = 0;
for(int i = 1; i <= n; i++)
{ for(int j = 1; j <= i; j++)
d = d + i + j;
d = d + 2;
for(int k = 1; k < n; k = k*2)
{ d = d – 5;
I thought that the answer was n^2 + log base 2 * n
b/c the first two loops run n times and have I assignment in each and the last loop multiplies k by 2.
But the actual answer is Closed: ((n2 + n)/2 + n) + (log2 n)) + 1
Big O: O(n2) "
3.)((log2 n)3 + n/8 - I thought the order of complexity was O(logn) but it's actually O(n).
Can someone please explain these answers thoroughly?

The Central Ohio Poison Center at Nationwide Children's Hospital and America's 56 other poison centers save Americans more than $1.8 billion every year in medical costs and lost productivity, according to a report released last week by the American Association of Poison Control Centers (AAPCC).
The AAPCC recently commissioned The Lewin Group to determine the value of the poison center system as a whole. The findings are detailed in the Final Report on the Value of the Poison Center System (The Lewin Group Inc., July 2012). In preparing the report, The Lewin Group reviewed existing literature regarding the impact of the poison center system on medical utilization and analyzed the value of the poison center network. The Lewin Group's analysis included the four most commonly referenced savings metrics (savings due to avoided medical utilization, reduced hospital length of stay, in-person outreach, and reduced work-loss days).
"We believe that poison centers show a good return on the investment by saving countless lives and billions of dollars each year in avoidable E.R. visits, but America's 57 Poison Centers saw a federal funding cut of 36 percent in 2011," said Henry Spiller, director of the Central Ohio Poison Center. "Further reductions in funding will make it difficult for poison centers across the country to continue to provide life-saving services. This important report shows the value poison centers bring to the nation's health care system."
According to the Final Report on the Value of the Poison Center System, every dollar invested in the poison center system saves $13.39 in medical costs and lost productivity, for a total savings of more than $1.8 billion every year. The report also determined that the cost to fund poison centers is 43 cents per U.S. resident per year. As the following table indicates, the savings are shared by federal, state and local governments, as well as the private sector.
|Funding Source
|Total Poison Center Funding in 2011
|Estimated Medical Care Savings and Reduced Productivity Loss Per Year
|Medical Care Savings and Reduced Productivity Loss Per Dollar of Funding Per Year
|Federal Government
|$17.1 million
|$662.8 million
|State and Local Government
|$83.8 million
|$284.2 million
|$35.1 million
|$873.4 million
|$136 million
|$1.82 billion
"Our system of 57 poison control centers is one of the most successful and cost-effective public health programs in the nation," said Rick Dart, M.D., Ph.D., past-president of the AAPCC. "Calls to poison centers keep the vast majority of callers out of the hospital and decrease the length of stays for patients who are admitted. Poison centers save lives, protect the public's health, and save millions of taxpayer dollars. It's vital that policymakers and the public understand the importance of funding this essential public health service."
The Final Report on the Value of the Poison Center System is available at www.aapcc.org.

Relatively large warbler of the boreal forest. Breeding males can be confused with Black-and-white Warbler. Note different head pattern; solid black cap and bright white cheek. Breeding females are a washed out, streakier version of male. Immatures are quite different: lemony-yellow head and breast with blurry streaking, white wingbars, and white undertail coverts. Distinctive orange feet helps distinguish Blackpoll from similar immature Bay-breasted and Pine Warblers. Found in any forested habitat during migration. Favors conifers, especially stunted spruce at higher elevations for breeding. Known for its exceptional migration over the Atlantic Ocean; can travel from East Coast of U.S. to South America in one nonstop flight!

New "Garbanzo" Pita Chain Coming To Columbia
The sign near the Walmart and My Eye Doctor at Rte 175 and Dobbin Road says "Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill," Lotsabogeys reported. It looks like a national franchise doing a Chipotle-style "build-your-own lunch" plan with Middle Eastern inspiration.
Anyone know the food? Anyone know the timing? Thanks to Lotsabogeys.
(Update: The Columbia Patch called the Garbanzo headquarters and has details, including a February 2013 opening date.)

I saw that last night! I was wondering when it would show up on here :)

Looks like they are a Colorado based restuarant branching out to Cal, NJ Md/DC and FLa.

Garbanzo Mediterranean Grill is an amazing fast casual chain, new to the restaurant world and amazing! They pride themselves on customer service and fresh whole food. They are really unique in that their food is legitimately healthy and made fresh everyday. Also lots of food for not a lot of. I make it point to eat there when I am in CO. so excited they are coming East. Highly recommend giving it a try!
- December 18, 2012 at 9:16 PM
Also they have kicka** hummus, falafel, and tabouli. Their veggie salad is awesome and they have everything clearly marked as vegan, vegeterian, and gluten free also very specific about marking allergy possibilities SO GOOD

The menu looks very limited. I would much rather see a Lebanese taverna.

Two of the comments above look like the work of a PR flack for Garbanzo.
- December 20, 2012 at 4:00 AM
- HowChow said...
LOL. Those two comments looked suspicious to me as well. I don't know, but they looked close enough to Garbanzo corporate speak ("They pride themselves on customer service and fresh whole food.") that I questioned how I'd write about them in the future.
I don't mind PR folks. I get PR emails every day. I encourage poeple who work at restaurants to comment. I have loved the guest posts that a few owners/workers have written.
I just want people to know who is talking.
- December 20, 2012 at 9:12 AM
- Don Sadowsky said...
(That was my earlier anonymous comment about the PR flack.)
You are being kinder to Garbanzo than I would. The commenter is posing as a regular diner saying how good the place is. That's more than us not knowing who is talking, it's downright deceptive. It gives me pause as to whether I would be willing to patronize a chain that employs people to lie on its behalf.

When the decorator is also the designer.
Classicism and modernity go hand in hand in the interior designs of the Spaniard Luis Puerta. Proof of this is the residence, recently renovated by him, on the outskirts of Madrid. The excellence of the work lies precisely in the overlapping of styles, making furniture lines Conservative gain value by the presence of objects and finishes that follow a more functional design.
The element that ties the project is the staircase, completely redone during the project. With sculptural character, it allowed the opening of spaces, either on the ground floor and upstairs, offering new visual connections between the two floors. The coatings follow the same logic of purity and functionality. In the room, dominated by stone, in the kitchen, ceramic, and bedrooms, wood.
Superimposed on this scenario, the furniture is who brings character and personality to the whole. In the lobby, for instance, the desk Louis XVI live with a 17th century clock. This personality is spread by other environments, dotted here and there by contemporary pieces, like Bertoia chairs from the kitchen, and many of them drawn by the Luis Puerta.

Conditional cooperation
Public good games
- abstract
We study conditional cooperation based on a sequential two-person linear public good game in which a trusting first contributor can be exploited by a second contributor. After playing this game the first contributor is allowed to punish the second contributor. The consequences of sanctioning depend on the treatment: whereas punishment can reduce inequality in one treatment, it only creates another inequality in the other. To capture the effect of delay on punishment both treatments are run once with immediate and once with delayed punishment. Moreover, to investigate the effect of pure voice, all four treatments are also run in a virtual condition with no monetary consequences of punishment. Results show the emergence across all conditions of a strong norm of conditional cooperation. Punishment is generally low, it is higher when not delayed and it is not used to reduce inequality in payoffs. The main motive of sanctioning appears to be the need to punish a violation of the reciprocity norm, irrespective of monetary consequences.

When to Load a Firearm
When do you load your firearm? That is, when do you chamber a round from the magazine into the action? There's no rule to tell you exactly when it is the right time. It depends on the situation as well as your experience and skill. Obviously, you never want to have a round chambered until you are actually hunting away from buildings and vehicles. However, if you wait until you are about to shoot, then the noise of loading may spook the animal. Also you may not focus your full attention on loading your gun safely since you are looking to see what the animal is doing. A reasonable and safe compromise is to chamber a round with the safety of the firearm on "safe" when you get close to an area where you expect to find game. Never walk around with a loaded firearm and the safety in the "fire" position.

Five of the 10 people killed in a Northern California bus crash were students, officials confirmed Friday.
Three adult chaperones and the drivers of the tour bus and FedEx truck were also killed.
A 10th person has died as a result of Thursday's bus crash on Interstate 5, it was also reported on Friday.
The California Highway Patrol said both drivers in the fiery crash died as a tour bus full of high school students collided with a big rig. In addition, five students and three adult chaperones on the bus died, according to Lacey Heitman, public information officer for the California Highway Patrol.
The crash occurred about 5:40 p.m. Thursday on Interstate 5 north of Highway 32, when a FedEx semi-truck collided with a tour bus filled with high school students. Both caught on fire.
The bus was carrying students from several Los Angeles-area high schools to visit Humboldt State University for its Spring Preview for prospective students today and Saturday.
As many as 10 ground ambulances and four helicopters were sent to the area to evacuate the injured. Authorities at the scene said 32 people were transported to hospitals in Chico, Red Bluff, Redding and UC Davis Medical Center in Sacramento. There were 46 in the tour bus.
Southbound I-5 has reopened, but northbound lanes at the crash scene are still closed.
A detour has been established.
In a press release issued this morning, Enloe Medical Center reported it received a total of 11 patients. As of 2 a.m. today, two of the patients are in critical condition, four are in fair condition and five have been discharged.
The CHP said a Nissan Altima was also involved in the accident. The Nissan was in front of the bus, headed north on I-5, when it was hit by the bus. The driver of the Nissan was not injured. The CHP said it's still unsure why the FedEx tractor-trailer crossed the freeway's median and plowed into the bus.
Officials from Humboldt State University were at the site of the accident this morning and are meeting with students.
Three buses were en route to Humboldt State when the accident occurred. Students who made it to Humboldt State were being offered counseling at the Arcata campus this morning.
John Deasy, the superintendent of Los Angeles Unified School District, released a statement saying 19 district students from 16 schools were on the bus tour headed to Humboldt State. The high schools include: San Fernando, Dorsey, Fremont, City of Angels, Robert F. Kennedy Community Schools, Manual Arts, Banning, Carson, Chavez, Diego Rivera, Belmont, Wilson, Chatsworth, Jefferson and Middle College. The statement said the district does not know if any of the five students who died attended LAUSD schools. Students from throughout Southern California were participating.
