Number 1 september 2014 …the Wakefield Doctrine
Welcome to the Wakefield Doctrine (the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers)
…as has happened an un-counted number of times since I started this blog, I am in an introspective phase of…. 'what am I doing with this Wakefield Doctrine'. Surely this time of re-examination is as common as frayed-waistband underwear, however, it always manifests as a unique this-time-it's-different experience. For better or for worse, I have decided to be more….public with my self-examination. My questioning of the whole point of my writing a blog, regardless of the fact that it is about a unique and productive and fun theory of personality, seems to be an inevitable part of the process that started …(no frickin way!) 5 years ago.
Of course, for those of us who would write a blog, every moment of doubt is always sincere and heartfelt and genuine, (no!-stop-giggling-I'm-trying-to make-a-serious-point-here). But like the first crush/first car/first fear, this time feels different. That is, I suspect, as it is supposed to be.
So, on each of the next 30 days, I will write a Post. They will be long Posts and they will be short Posts, they will be weird Posts and they will be TToT Posts (wait, I already said 'weird') and, for the record, I have not the slightest idea if there will be any point or value or anything other than….quantity.
…. so to start, I know what it is that's bothering me about the state of the Wakefield Doctrine blog:
that I would write such a sentence and actually leave it in the Post
that, for those who were around for the first couple of years, the Wakefield Doctrine was the point of this blog, not clark Farley-that-guy-with-that-'personality-theory'
a (seeming) loss of the 'hey! this is the Wakefield Doctrine and you should see what it can do!'
…and, (to certain Readers), yes this blog will continue to be a semi-public experiment/demonstration of the use and efficacy of the principles of the Wakefield Doctrine as a tool for self-development.
but then, you knew that, didn't you.
I will invite you to the home site of the Wakefield Doctrine (where you can read all this and look at the pitchas!
the Wakefield Doctrine is "over there" so get on over, yo
Stopped in here at the old homestead. Everything looks smaller but friendlier. Wish I knew how to link this directly or rather to have a feed of Posts come in from the Doctrine.
But for now just be sure to stop by: the Wakefield Doctrine and say hello
the Wakefield Doctrine (…"she said 'Love'?, Lord above!"…)
This is what we seem to have come to…interim Posts…(google wants new content!!!give google new content! NOW!!)
So wait 'til you see what we have in store for you all…the next Post (which is supposed to be this Post) will be the start of a series, a Case Study of the Wakefield Doctrine as it is applied to a work situation.
I suppose I could do the 'set-up' here now and then let DownSpring#1 have the whole Post for 'exposition'. Nothing says that we can't do two Posts back to back. Hey, this is the Wakefield Doctrine, we can do anything we want, goddamn it!
Oh, watch for a slight change in the look of the Wakefield Doctrine by weeks end. Have gone the 'self-hosting' route (thanks a lot, Mel lol) and while I am going to keep the changes to a minimum initially, you will see some look and feel differences. I have not even seen what it will look like. I did tell my consultant guy that I wanted the same: (the) Post center and the Map and other widgets in columns to the right and left.
Since we are just 'vamping', what the hell is going on with the time acceleration? Tell me I am the only one who is seeing the rate of time passage/the degree of falling behind on day-to-day tasks increasing…noticeably. I really hope it is just me. I can deal with the problem of not keeping up, if this speeding up of time is a world-wide phenomenon, then I might indulge in being worried.
Speaking of running out of time…March is Survey Questions Month! Sometime in the next week or so, look for a Post that is all about Survey Questions. The goal is to develop an online survey that will let Readers determine they type, yo. It should consist of 10 or 20 questions, answer eac, hit Enter and find out the answer. Joanne is in charge and we are looking forward to ggreat things from her. (Joanne was recently elected Mistress of Testifying by a near unanimous vote of Progenitors and Downsprings) congratulations Joanne! ("…now you're tryin to to trick me…" )
Okay…OKay stop this right here…! I may be a construct but OMFG at least I am alive and young (of course cute too) but that video! no you stop…sure you are the 'real' people and yes you are writing this and I will even allow that it makes for a catchy subtitle…but the video! omg I can't believe you old people…look at the people in the video, those are my grandparents! NO, it does need to be pointed out…because not all your Readers are old, so very old…I can't understand myself, but the fact is we have some Readers under the age of geriatric. You must control the nostalgia…facebook is full of people who are not trying to refer to cultures that are more than 1 generation dead…sorry, (not)… just my opinion…no, I realise the pressure of writing Posts…no really I am sure it is very difficult…as a matter of fact I could!…no I am not joking..just say when…alright I will! but no 'editorial review..' no censorship (I heard what you did to poor Mr. Miller's speech to the class a few weeks ago)…I think that all censorship is wrong…especially here…so what if what he said in his lecture was stupid, and only meant for shock value…don't you think the Readers would know that he was a scott and is no more responsible for that kind of behaviour than the little puppy who poops on the rug because he has not yet been housebroken?..of course I am…so its a deal right? full Post…any subject I want…and video and any friend i choose to invite…no I dont have any psychological twists to untangle in public…after all I am a Junior at Millard Fillmore High School how wholesome is that?…why no, I think the Janitor is simply a nice guy who made some bad choices…scottian women will do that to a guy…wouldn't you like to know! OK I better get to work…can't wait to tell Britney…see ya.
Ok, Janie does have a point…about the old shit…so lets have some not so old shit to get us out…Don't forget Case Study coming up. Will be fun and useful.
Hey Mel! where do I stick the ad for the Rejuvo Pills that I can now sell cause I be sef-hosted?
Now for a little light but enjoyable pop music to get out on…(13 seconds of commercial first but it should keep the MPAA at bay)
the Wakefield Doctrine (how can it be Sunday, if theres not a new Post. there must be a new Post cause its Sunday)
(Before we begin, a word about….nah never mind. You wouldn't understand. Forget I said anything.)
But no, let me say this, I want to get a scott to say something about scotts. Here at the Doctrine we are in a developmental phase (soon to be announced watch this space!). Anyway, one of the challenges here at the Wakefield Doctrine is that it is axiomatic that clarks are different from scotts and rogers. And while I am an expert at the Doctrine, I will tend to write as a clark, which means that I am not speaking to the scotts or the rogers in their respective languages. We will solve this problem soon, but right now I have to get a Post out because it is, as the subtitle plainly says, Sunday.
So Glenn, you are reading this on a daily basis. Get the concierge to let you sign on and make a Comment. A long Comment. I will incorporate it into this Post. Just write the words, I will handle everything else.
Ms. AKH, the same thing. You are both scotts so give us some insight into the scottian nature. As you both can see, I have divided what was to have been the Post into Themes A and B and C. Use them as you see fit, address them or reference them, not caring. I am the Producer, here are your sets, props, tools call them what you will.
Theme A
Let's talk about scotts! That's! right!…scotts. The scottian element. The here and now only action speaks louder than…what was the question? I act therefore I am. The id and only "give me a primal", "give me a drive."..what's that spell? Who the fuck cares…scotts don't need no steenkin spellin…
Even though this entire Post is on the subject of scotts, we do not have to do the dry…boring…how many words can we use to describe…clarklike approach. And scotts are not dumb…(they may be stupid at times) but they are not dumb, rather quite intelligent in a quick witted, problem-solving, shortest-path, not particularly creative way. Smart as a whip is often how they are described.
(You know how we loves our videos here at the Doctrine; not just for entertainment but for education, illustration, demonstration and elucidation….purposes. Our discussion of the scottian nature is especially suited to illustration (by behavior as shown in said video.)
Theme B
It helps if you are a music fan in general and a (guitar) music fan in particular, but as this video shows us the scottian nature as it is totally focused on producing a (specific) reaction in the audience it is playing to…(this can be a literal audience as with Joe here or it can be a more figurative audience say the people at a party in front of whom the scott is telling 'just over the line offensive' jokes or is simply being an astonishingly provocative personality. And since I just used the word, I think provocative is probably the most appropriate adverb(adjective?) who the f*&k knows they want to get a reaction from their environment. I was about to say, 'their immediate environment' but that would be un-necessary. The immediate is the only thing for scotts.
Another (musical) example of the scottian personality as seen in an entertainer.
Theme C
For that matter, let me state the obvious: this Post is not being written by a scott…(although efforts are being made to bring in a scott on this) so while the information that we are presenting on the nature of scotts is totally correct, the scottian Reader has long since wandered off in search for something more satisfying to chase.
So, why are we still typing? Because this is the Wakefield Doctrine (aka the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) it is not the
So there you have it. A (scottian) do-it-yourself Post. Pick a Theme and write a Comment, your Producer will turn it into a Post. Hats? did someone say hats? If you say hats, then I say….. CONTEST!!
Here is the Contest: Reader(s) to take one of the Themes and write a Comment (of suitable length, say 250 words) from a scottian perspective. Do this thing and you will win a hat for your damn head* Come one, take a chance write words what harm can it do, not like anyone is gonna read the fuckin thing. Pixie, oh Pixieblonde you are our scottian ava of choice, come on down win a hat and I will throw in the first tee shirts as soon as they are delievered. (choice: I (heart) Janie Sullivan or (arrow to the right on front) saying: I'm with him (he is such a roger)
* Glenn and Ms. AKH not eligible.
the Wakefield Doctrine (…alright, recess is over, time to get back to work)
That certainly was different…perhaps a way of 'letting off steam' or even just having fun, nothing says this blog has to be all serious. But our task remains, the goal of this blog remains ever the same: to present the Wakefield Doctrine (aka the theory of clarks, scotts and rogers) in a way that is easy to understand and allows you, the Reader, to apply (it's) principles to your daily life.
I believe it was in the (…you do not want to look down) Post…we said that we will be focusing on each of the three types, one Post for each. First up: clarks.
To begin, this Post will not be about clarks in the sense of what they are, or how to spot them or even (their) characteristics. This Post is concerned with clarks from the perspective of how they relate to this Wakefield Doctrine thing. A clark reading this blog will be curious and will read much of the material, but they will do this in order to compare what the Doctrine is to the system they already have in place. Information is the central feature in the world of the clarks.
(A little dry, but then we are talking about clarks…) but stay with us here. This Post and the two to follow will be of value to us in answering the question: 'how do I get through to a clark (or a scott or a roger)?'
Put another way, spotting a roger or a scott or a clark is pretty simple. But, 'speaking the language' of these three types of people is not so simple.
Our challenge is to learn to communicate with the other(s) in their language, on their terms.
A clark talking to a scott will sound like a clark (to that scott). But it is possible for that clark to speak to the scott in the 'scottian language'.
Of course, we are not talking about 'languages' in the everyday sense and it is more about being able to perceive reality as the other does.
If you can do that, you will automatically speak their language.
Lets try this: you're a clark (come back scott, come back lol), you are standing in a room full of people at some social fucntion. Being a clark, you are standing in a corner and you are looking around and listening to everyone, trying to learn what is expected of you. Into the room comes a scott, who immediately begins to 'work the room', going from person to person, establishing ranking and locating food. This scott does not need to learn (what is expected of them), they simply need to act. To survive.
If you, (a clark) goes up to this scott and offers information, you will be identified as a clark. To the scottian brain: you are not a competitor and you are not food. The scott will be cautious, until you are identified to the scotts satisfaction)
But, suppose for a minute, you could speak scottian, the language of a scott. What do you suppose the difference would be?
You would not be offering information, for a start. And you would not be trying co-operate with this (scott). You would simply communicate with the scott directly.
(Now, the clarks out there reading this are leaping ahead of this little example…the implications of switching perspective to that of the other….hold up clarkies…lets try to bring along the rogers and scotts…they are not running out ahead on this one…)
So you go up to the scott and first and formost demand their attention. You become a scott.
Let's just put it this way: the Wakefield Doctrine can provide you with enough information/perspective/encouragement to enable you to perceive the world as the other two types do and, by doing this, you will be able to communicate with them more effectively. Totally.
Of course, if you do this you may find that the message that you are trying to convey to the other person is changed by the fact that you are seeing the world differently. But that is a Post length topic in and of itself. In the following Posts we will consider this changing of the message effect that comes when we see the world through the eyes of another. This will be most difficult to the scotts and the rogers, but hey if this were easy I would be on TV by now.
Lets finish with a little (more) music.
the Wakefield Doctrine (…so may I introduce to you, the act you've know for all these years…)
"Good Morning class"
(damn,they are so young…relax…remember, clark, this is a made up premise in an imaginary class in a Post of a 6 month old blog…nothing bad will happen…you can't screw this up…)
"How are you all you doin today?"
(doin? did you just say doin? wtf are you thinking? ok ok, don't panic! this can still be saved)
"Thank you, Teacher for inviting me today. You won't be staying? Teacher conference? Oh, okay guess we'll be alright here…How long is this class? 50 minutes? No, should be plenty of time. Sure, you can close the door. See you in an hour."
(oh great…an hour in front of these kids, no other adult to shift attention to…what if they decide not to listen? Goddamn why did I let that rogerian Teacher personage goad me into this, this fuckin sucks…screw this premise…I don't have to do this, let him try and exert an influence on the path of the Doctrine on his own, let's see how many Posts a week he gets out with nothing but a white screen and a classroom full of imaginary characters…)
(…still here…shit well might as well do something…)
"Well class, I understand you are studying the Wakefield Doctrine…(jesus christ!!!) er,,, I am told by the Teacher that you are very adept at the Doctrine."
"Allow me to begin: the Wakefield Doctrine is a way of understanding the behavior of those around us and is unique in that it is based on how a person perceives the world. We consider this the starting point rather than trying to catalog behavior"…(you're losing them!! lose them? when the hell did you have them…you practised this, you know that you must engage the class first…otherwise you might as well talk to a wall)…" and not simply list behavior…blah, blah blah"
"Yes? you in back? Yes, I did say 'blah, blah, blah'.
"From this seating chart Teacher gave me you must be Jimmy. Yes, I would agree, Teacher would have a chart of who is sitting where. No, I don't see a Ms. AKH anywhere…student teacher? Sure Jimmy they would both be at the Teacher's Lounge… then that would make the young lady in front of you Miss Janie Sullivan, no? What?…no, I am comfortable with addressing you as Miss Sullivan…What?…very good! I am very clarklike. I can see why Teacher speaks so highly of you…"
"…the young lady next to you, Miss Sullivan, the one with the scarf and the hat and the bandana on…I saw you start to raise your hand…you have a question?…(no Jimmy I am sure she can answer for herself)…Britney is it? what was your question…"Why?, why what? Miss Chambers… why the Doctrine? or why am I here?"
"One answer might be because I am the leading expert on the Wakefield Doctrine…not buying that? Nah, neither would I…a set up? how very astute Miss Sullivan!" And you, Britney, why do you agree that this is all a set up? no Jimmy, let Britney answer…yes Britney…because that is what I would expect? (lol) very good.
You are all rather good at this Doctrine thing, you know that? Yes Miss…Janie I don't think Teacher quite 'gets' you, but you will just have to give him time to come to believe that this is all not so weird…enough Jimmy…Mr. Miller is the one you need to watch, not Teacher…"
"Hey!..the hell with this premise…is that an empty seat between you and Britney? good…then I am going to…let me just get some tape…and this picture I'm going to tape to the blackboard….right about….here…
"Let me join you students…no, we will not be telling the Teacher…but the heck with the lecture..I'm just going to sit back here and we can throw questions at those three up in the front…ok? No, Janie this will not affect your final grade for the class…well…because I wrote the material that you are studying…
…yes I am that one…older in the picture? why thank you Britney…"
"So, since we need to say we covered the Doctrine this hour, anyone have any questions that you couldn't get an answer from Teacher on? or were afraid to ask? No? here the let me start…"
'hey! clark-on-the-blackboard', didn't you think there was a reason that you always had the same two friends, despite how much of an asshole you thought you really were? huh?'
"(lol) no, Janie the clarks have that as their fundamental premise…they know they are awful and if they can only get through the day without anyone finding out then it is a good day…really ask your friend Britney…"
"What's that Britney? sure go ahead ask the three 'wise men'…"
'hey Wakefield dudes, why did it take the weakest of the three of you to keep at this thing long enough to become a blog…did you never think that you were not interdependent?' (good one Miss Chambers, lol)"
(ok, clark slow it down you are getting a little lost in character…make a point that all of your 25 Readers can take from this very odd Post…something they can't ignore)
"Hey guys. I got to go…no this will be our little secret…you all know Doctrine well enough to fake it when Teacher comes back and asks about the 'Lecture'…Janie? he really admires you but is afraid you will turn out to be scottian…Jimmy, you he knows is a scott, (lol)…Britney…yes this is a bit like the Wizard of Oz…Britney you know the answer…you can see that as much as he needs to believe it, Teacher is afraid of being left behind in a herd that he has evolved beyond. No, he would never admit it, especially to you as a clark…rogers need the dumb parishioners to shepherd to the Promised Land and to protect from Sin…they can only feel better in contrast" .
"No, you guys will do alright…Janie? Ms. AKH was a lot like you when she was a student like…yes I knew her then…no! Jimmy, that is so scottian of you to say…why the girls like you so much is a depressing validation to the social biologist…"
"Hey, that Custodian that went by…is that old Mr. B.? damn, I haven't seen him since I can't remember…very good Britney he is a roger…the first roger in a sense too bad the call of the scott drowned out his higher brain function…what might have been? fuck that…what it is is all that it is, kids….(lol) please don't repeat that Janie.."
"Does he still have videos and things? Sure Janie, ask him to help us fill that last 6 minutes of the class and I'll just slip on out that door…"
the Wakefield Doctrine ( CSR 101)
All right, you people, let's settle down now…It's been a long break, and we've got a ton of new material to cover. I had to notice that no one turned in their " The Office" home work as requested. ( The Answer I was hoping for? They're all Rogers!)
Okay. Today is very special. Today is freaking huge. We have a guest speaker. Or should I say, Guest Speaker. So get out the No.2's and notebooks, take good notes, and submit your questions and comments in the appropriate place. Please remember that this is an open forum, and decorum is much appreciated. Our guest's text will appear as the entire uninterrupted body of the next post. What I'm doing here is generally referred to as " setting up". Deemed necessary, because this is a bit of an unusual situation. You'll see why momentarily.
We all know him in one regard or another. Downsprings have known him for eons. Acolytes are just getting started, and might be just a bit intimidated. He's either poking, cajoling, prodding, editing, or selling you a damn hat for your damn head. Putting fires out. Or starting them. Whatever " the Doctrine" seems to require. That's all quite normal in this day and age.
There's one thing, though, that would be way,way out of the box. Way out of the comfort zone. He's the only person I know with the personal courage to go directly into an excruciatingly uncomfortable spot in spite of himself. Be assured, you would not see either a Roger or a Scott do this.
The Clark…Unplugged. Actually, take out the " The ", too.
So… we have Clark. In the "first person". That is to say, without the affectation of being a blog editor, fake school principal, street interviewer, SL avatar, hat salesman….none of that. Just the guy who started this thing. ( And for the historical record, this " thing" dates back to about March of 1975; park bench, Wakefield RI. I know; I was on the other end of that bench.) The damn bench remains; so does the damn doctrine. So get your damn hat on your damn head and check this out….

text: Unlucky Week for the Wheat Market December 6, 2013 08:27 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By Scott Harms, Archer Financial Services Email It was a choppy week in the grain markets as the corn market rallied on strong technical action to start the week, while soybeans were able to shake off a technical reversal lower on Monday to trade steady for most of the week. The wheat market was not so lucky, as a failure in March wheat at its 100-day moving average and an announced record Canadian wheat crop sent wheat values to their lowest levels in three months. The wheat fund short position has never been larger than it is currently. This has some in the trade projecting a short covering bounce to prices as we approach year end. However, the funds have now held a sizable short position in wheat for nearly a year and seem quite content to defend that position at every opportunity. It will likely take a significant fundamental change in the wheat market to shake a bulk of these short positions loose. The corn market started the week by trading to new three-year lows on Monday before staging a recovery and closing higher that day. This hook reversal on the charts started a $.20 cent rally led largely by fund short covering. The corn market was able shake off the news of corn export cancellations by China due to an unapproved GMO trait. It is expected that more cancellations will occur as several ships are still en route to China. The soybean trade was somewhat erratic as the market weighed the negative technical close on Monday against continued solid Chinese demand. The soybean market is a very tricky market to trade at this time, as tight domestic supplies require that prices might have to surge if export demand remains strong. However, on the other hand market participants have to be careful of Chinese export cancellations due to overbooking and a solid start to the South American growing season. Next Tuesday the USDA will release its updated supply and demand updates. No corn or soybean production adjustments will be made until the January report. We look for a tightening of the corn and soybean balance sheets due to stronger export and domestic demand. We took advantage of mid-week price strength to begin re-establishing hedge protection in the corn market. (Click charts below to see a larger image) Back to news

The Perth Market Authority (PMA), a Western Australian Government agency, is responsible for the ownership and management of Market City. The asset, developed in 1989 is situated on 50 hectares of land at Canning Vale, 16km south of the CBD of Perth, the capital city of Western Australia.
Market City plays a critical role in the marketing and distribution of fresh produce in the State. Over $350M (AUD) worth of fresh produce is traded annually through the Central Trading Area (CTA) of the markets. In addition significant sales are carried out by tenants to the major supermarkets and through interstate and international trade.
The CTA is currently fully leased with few vacancies in the commercial area and warehouses. The site occupancy rate is over 95% on a total net lettable area of 111,000m2. There remains 10 hectares of the site that is undeveloped at this stage.
Market City is currently investing over $20M (AUD) to increase the profile of Market City and to consolidate its position as the centre for fresh food excellence in Western Australia. The redevelopment consists of a series of interdependent projects including:
PMA is receiving strong industry demand for further warehouse and site development. These opportunities are arising due to:
To meet this demand PMA is currently completing a master planning process to demonstrate the opportunities to potential new tenants. Features of the masterplan with be a food industry precinct, further warehousing, a controlled site access plan, further development of a service precinct for scientific and quality assurance, an industry training facility.

N'Awlins and Beyond!
I'm glad a few of you good folks are pleased to see Chiba again. Going on 7 years now? Shit...Your patience is greatly appreciated. This is one of my favorite stories to work on, but with the day job/other projects/social life(drugs), it's hard to keep a steady pace on the book. But whenever I get the free time, I always play around with Chiba.
The first 11 pages recently posted is the first batch of the final chapter of the series. heh! I literally wanted to start out with a "bang". But there will be plenty of twists and turns until the end...which is probably going to run an epic 100+ pages. At the rate I'm going...it'll be finished in another 7 years : p
But seriously, to everyone that's been keeping up...thanks!
Oh yea...the page on the left. This is a page from Chapter 2's bank robbery that was never released online, and was made exclusive for the print version. Since I'm feeling festive, I decided to share it with everybody.

Fans of celebrity philanthropist and Virgin CEO Richard Branson may have noticed a pertinent news announcement on the entrepreneur's personal blog and social media profiles yesterday when he chose to leak the text of the United Nations Draft Report on Decriminalisation of Drug Use and Possession for Personal Consumption.
Among other issues, Branson has always outspokenly argued for policies of harm reduction and decriminalization when it comes to cannabis and other psychoactive substances. This time, he has the world's foremost intergovernmental organization backpedaling in the media, as it claims he misinterpreted its latest report and that the draft is still being researched and finalized.
"In the face of overwhelming evidence, UN expert opinion, and international human rights law, it's not decriminalisation that 'sends the wrong message' – it's the continued refusal to engage, review or discuss reform." – Richard Branson
The draft report, released by the UN Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC), cites successes in nations like Portugal who have seen societal improvements since reducing or eliminating criminal penalties for drug possession while positing that drug policy should be a health issue rather than one of criminal justice.
"The UNODC's initial inclinations in support of drug decriminalization are indicative of a much larger trend in support of sensible drug policy that is gaining support throughout much of civilized society. However, their decision to back down from their inclinations is part of another, much older movement of authority figures backing away from sensible policies in the face of stigma, which is unfortunate but very common." – Kris Krane – Former Associate Director at NORML & Former Executive Director for Students for Sensible Drug Policy
The United Nations will meet on drug policy for the first time in 18 years, next April at the UN General Assembly Special Session on Drugs (UNGASS 2016).
UNODC Spokesperson Statement:
Vienna, 19 October 2015 – "The briefing paper on decriminalisation mentioned in many of today's media reports, and intended for dissemination and discussion at a conference in Kuala Lumpur, is neither a final nor formal document from the UN Office on Drugs and Crime, and cannot be read as a statement of UNODC policy.
It remains under review and UNODC regrets that, on this occasion, there has been an unfortunate misunderstanding about the nature and intent of this briefing paper. UNODC emphatically denies reports that there has been pressure on UNODC to withdraw the document. But, it is not possible to withdraw what is not yet ready.
Overall, UNODC remains committed to the balanced approach that, in particular, promotes alternatives to incarceration in line with international human rights standards."
Post-clarification, Branson updated his blog post to challenge UNODC to back up the draft report.
Update 18:30 19/10/2015:
It's good to see UNODC have now engaged in this issue. However, I hope that they will remain strong in defending and implementing what is a remarkable statement.
I challenge Yury Fedotov, the Executive Director of UNODC, to point out if there is anything in their briefing paper that is inaccurate and to explain why (he should be proud of it). The paper spells out in clear terms and based on extensive evidence: there are strong arguments for treating drugs as a health issue and not imprisoning or otherwise criminalising people for personal use or possession of drugs.
As I outlined in this interview with Bloomberg, and the Global Commission on Drug Policy has stated for many years, drugs should be treated as a health issue. My great hope is that today's actions bring that day a little bit closer to reality, so that the millions who continue to be harmed by current policies can be helped instead.
What do you think? Could this be a harbinger of a new era of global drug policy?

Many conversations about inequality of sub groups of our community seem to focus on race, gender, and religion but very rarely is the conversation centered on the inequality those with disabilities face. Disability inequality is often overlooked as a very real concern.
Last year the Ford Foundation announced that FordForward would focus on "disrupting inequality" and among the thousand of mostly congratulatory emails came one that pointed out they made no mention of a huge community: the more than 1 billion people around the world who have a disability. "I applaud you for taking on inequality. But when you talk about inequality how can you not talk about people with disabilities?" The president of Ford Foundation, Darren Walker, was also, rightfully he admitted, called a hypocrite.
Many others pointed out that the Ford Foundation "does not have a person with visible disabilities on our leadership team; takes no affirmative effort to hire people with disabilities; does not consider them in our strategy; and does not even provide those with physical disabilities with adequate access to our website, events, social media, or building. Our 50-year-old headquarters is currently not compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA)"
Mr Walker didn't just take the information that was pointed out to him and dismiss it, but instead he took accountability for the lack of mention of disability inequality and in an annual letter he addressed it and committed to make things better.
Read his letter in full here - Ignorance is the Enemy Within: On the power of our privilege and the privilege of our power.
Read the response by Respect Ability - Ford Foundation Stuns with New Announcement
Thank you Darren Walker and the Ford Foundation, for bringing these issues to the forefront.

House of Fifty!!!
Monday, September 10, 2012
My favorite article was "Beautiful Interiors Become High Fashion", a combination of my two loves.
You may remember a while back when I asked for your help choosing a picture for an article that I was writing about raising boys. Surprise! The article is in this issue of House of Fifty. It was such a honor to be a contributor that I am over the moon!
Being a mother of teenagers certainly doesn't make me an expert, but I did share a few things that I think have helped along the way. I would love to hear your thoughts for surviving the teen years after you have a chance to read House of Fifty.
P.S. To subscribe to HOF, all you have to do is enter your email address here. To purchase your very own copy in print, go here. To keep in touch with HOF updates, follow the blog here.

In high school, I trained 5-6 days a week. Our lifting facility was a large non-air conditioned room with one door and a large fan. Everyone hated that one kid who stood by the door being a fan hog. I'm clenching my fists right now just thinking about it. I lifted in there 5 days a week. Track practice after school would last until sunset almost every day for me and there was little to no shade. Just you, your implements and the elements. Throwing things in shoes purposely made with no traction in the rain and digging through the mud is no fun. Sweating your face off and having no trees or cloud coverage to protect you from the sun in triple degree heat is no fun. Training when it's cold and windy with bulky clothes when you need to be able to move a certain way is also not fun. Three nights a week, I would go lift in my coach's garage. Competitions were even harder. You spend over 12 hours a day traveling in a school bus to go to the competition, compete, watch others compete, and suffer whatever conditions are there. Some times the throwing facilities are far away and you feel like you're not part of the competition, some times the ground is rough and bangs up your equipment, sometimes the sector is of center, sometimes it rains, some times it's so windy you can't get in a decent throw to save your life, sometimes you can't use your own equipment, sometimes there are bad calls and unobservant or under-qualified judges, and sometimes the meet is poorly run in general. These are just some of the things that made training and competing rough even through collegiate athletics. I can remember at Alabama, we had a day with torrential rain and my teammate and I were throwing hammer even when our feet were completely submerged in water. We had a competition at Auburn that was so cold we couldn't feel our finger tips anymore. This is important for throwing things, obviously. The craziest day was getting in one good throw at the Mid-East Regionals only to have the Tornado sirens go off and have to hang out in a basement for an hour before resuming competition. What?! Needless to say, these things aren't fun but, they helped toughen me up a bit.
In Arizona I trained in a large non-air conditioned warehouse and here in Texas, I train in a two car garage. Training in Arizona in both track and weightlifting reminds me of this:
While training in these environments, you have to learn to acclimate. You have to learn how to physically handle the situation and how to mentally handle the situation. When traveling and competing abroad, I have observed Americans as those who handle change the worst. Sorry, teammates but, it's true. I have heard complaints about the weather, or transportation, the bars not spinning well, the training hall is in a parking lot down hill, the chalk is too fine, the plates are falling apart, there's no heat or a/c, the food isn't good, the music is too loud, there are no spectators, the roof is leaking and there are puddles of water on the floor, someone just walked in front of me, that person won't stop talking...What. Ever. In my opinion, those who handle stress the best, compete the best. The body needs to adapt to different stimulus as does the mind, eyes, and ears. There are a lot of people in the US training on nice equipment, with ideal temperatures, and sports med, or housing facilities, and cafeterias. On the other side of the coin, there are people training in completely opposite situations like myself.
My coach often says, "If you can train here, you can train anywhere." I believe this is very, very, true. I have moved a lot, lived, trained and competed in less than ideal situations, have not been financially stable, and so much more. For these reasons, I attribute much of my success as an athlete. I am able to handle stress well. I am a surprisingly patient person. This is exhibited by how little I end up yelling at people Haha.
Any who, to be your best self, you have to be stretched and challenged. Get out of your comfort zone and expect the unexpected. As my old coach used to say, "be comfortable being uncomfortable."

The Unaccountable Censors
by fortytwo6x7
To all of you that tried to kill
the documentary The Red Pill
to stifle, strangle or drown at birth
or cast onto the ends of the earth
the work of which you disapprove
and so you scurried to remove
the peoples choice and free will
to decide to watch The Red Pill
I ask you now do you regret
as you witness the Streisand Affect
and the result of the publicity
is that more people will come to see
the hateful words you did proclaim
only to find the MRA's are sane
and detest your removing your free will
to decide to watch The Red Pill
Then comes the sting within the tail
as they examine the detail
and realise your censorship
is a symptom of the crazed power trip
of the feminist ideology
who's faults become plain to see
with the understanding and free will
that come with taking The Red Pill
Author Notes
In 2013 film maker and documenter Cassie Jaye decided to make a documentary about the Mens Rights Movement. As a feminist she fully expected her look into the shadows would reveal the toxic views and violent behaviour she had been told permeate the movement.
However what she found contradicted her preconceived notions and the year of filming and year of post production editing changed her world view. Full discloser, I have not seen the completed film, It has not had a viewing in my country yet and I will write about this film as soon as I get the opportunity to watch it. However I have seen her interviews post release and I know a lot of the people interviewed in the documentary and my conclusions on the film is based on this knowledge.
Since beginning this project Cassie has faced opposition from the Feminist movement, firstly in demanding editorial control in return for funding. She refused this "assistance" the project stalled but was saved by free speech advocates who donated to her kickstarter campaign. Post production Feminists have managed to get the Melbourne showing shut down, and there seem to be problems with the London showing.
At this stage the question cease's to be the validity of either side's point of view but should those views be allowed to be heard. It would seem some people have used the book 1984 as a guide, not a warning.

By far the most two exciting things that have happened over these two days are visiting an orphanage, owned and run by my Uncle's friend, Mohan, and going to a tea factory. In the tea factory, I was lucky enough to have another of my Uncle's friends, Luke (whose family I am hoping to go back and stay with :D) telling me how the process worked instead of attempting to read the small signs without my glasses. It was also great because it helped me to gain an insight into more of the culture of India.
|The Tea Process
1. Use humidifiers to dry out the leaves.
|2. Transfer leaves to boxes,
so tourists can take hipster photos :P
|3. Pour down a chute to the next floor.
|4. Something, cut and roll the leaves.
I can't remember the first part.
|5. Dry the leaves.
I think the long tube machine had a cool name, like 'googy'
but I could be wrong...
|6. Pour the dried, rolled tea leaves down the next chute,
so they can go to the final floor.
|7 (not really). Cram many people into the room.
|7 (yes really). Sort leaves into their types.
I asked Luke if he'd been to the tea factory many times, which was apparently a bit of stupid question. He told me that he and his wife and two sons go there quite often, about once a week, just to have a cup of tea together. I'd honestly never thought until then about the apparently worldwide significance of something as simple as sharing a drink together, whether it be with family, friends or someone who you're just getting acquainted with. In a bizarre way, it was kind of comforting to know that this isn't just something that is confined to my own culture. It made me feel even more at home in Ooty, and makes me all the more excited to return.
The orphanage was fantastic. It was saddening, but it was brilliant. In the past few posts I think I've mentioned the need in India, and while there is still definitely that need, there is also so much good going on! All these people see the poverty and the injustice and they set out to do something about it, completely selflessly. Mohan and the Mizpah home is a great example.
Mohan was orphaned as a young boy, and was lucky enough to be taken in by a good orphanage. He said that it was this experience, and knowing how lucky he was, that made him want to open his own orphanage if he ever got the chance - to give to the society. There are 29 kids at Mizpah homes, and two brothers, whose mother had abandoned them in the woods, temporarily there while he found a new place for them so they wouldn't have to be separated. The work that he is doing for them, on a wage so small, is truly remarkable. Mohan and his wife, Jenny, ensure the children are educated, have good medical care, learn good English and most importantly, that they are loved.
|Mohan, some of the kids from Mizpah homes, and Me.
It took a bit of convincing to get the littley with rad orange
pants to stand in front of me :P
|And another one, just because I can :P
My visit to Mizpah homes was so inspiring - the fact that there is so much need is heartbreaking, the fact that it has revealed so much of the good in humans makes me want to scream and shout and dance in the streets. I feel the need to tell everyone about it! (I also feel the need to adopt a little girl, Adithya, who was 3-years old and had the most fantastic smile, but that's another story) :P
It was hard work to get her to stand far back enough from
the camera so that I could get more than just one of her eyes :D
And on that joyous note, I shall leave you all. For tonight, we are going out for dinner and tomorrow should be a wondrous day of shopping, and yet a terrible day because we will be leaving Ooty. Just thinking of it makes me want to go and hide somewhere so that I can stay and explore for longer!
With love from India,
PS. Today I discovered that when it rains, it pours.

If Tracey Long were a bettor, she probably would wager everything on herself winning the solo competition this week in the Junior National Outdoor Synchronized Swimming Championships at the Justus Aquatic Center.
She looks like a sure bet.
Long, 18, of the Walnut Creek (Calif.) Aquanuts, scored 84.4 points in the solo semifinals Thursday to take a comfortable lead into Saturday morning's figure finals. The top 10 solo semifinalists advance to the figure finals, and the seven competitors with the best combined scores in the solo semifinals and figure finals qualify for Saturday night's solo finals.

Histone Acetyltransferases (HATs) and Histone Deacetylases (HDACs)
active, recombinant HAT and HDAC proteins
Histone acetylation is an important post-translational modification that is involved in regulating genome compaction and gene expression. In general, the addition of acetyl groups to histones by HAT enzymes is correlated with an increase in gene expression, whereas removal of acetyl groups by HDACs is associated with transcriptional repression.
Active Motif offers a variety of active recombinant HATs and HDACs for use in your acetylation assays. Note that all are available in small scale and bulk quantities. Click on the protein name to see complete information.

Well, tonight (after months of hesitating), I finally decided to get down and dirty and just GO FOR IT! I've been dying to use the clear stamps anyway, so I just took them out of the packet and started to PLAY. In fact my daughter Georgia and I started experimenting and then decided to make a fun little video about it. It was never meant to be published - OK?! :) It started out as a fun family video ... and here's what we came up with!
I hope you like this easy-to-make gift tag idea and get inspired to create some yourself :) If I can make something like this, then you can do it too!
OH, BTW ... this is my *first ever* crafting video, so *be kind* :):) and don't mind the quality (shot on my Blackberry phone in the bathroom with desk lamps). I promise, I'll get pro at this soon! :)
Here are some preview pics as well ... let me know what you think!

The little (teak?) temple is a perfect roost for a plant. And is the plant a perlago-whatzit? Scented geranium? You have such wonderful scarlet geraniums, Sue!
It's a cool spring morning here in the States, and like you, I'm scrabbling around in the corners of the closet looking for footwear. Somewhere there's a pair of Chinese flats with straps like your blue ones...
Tummy nuzzles to all the furry bedwarmers! And I can hear the girls cackling even over here!

Chilly here in Wellington too. We have got all the winter bankies on the bed already and the electric blanket and the heater are on.
Am in the process of swapping over the summer to winter clothes too. Time to air out the merinos and check for moth holes.
Keep warm and toasty.

I miss hanging out my clothes-the neighbours would have my head if I did (strict rules about such things). I have a drying rack inside, but it just isn't the same.
Beautiful chilies. I can taste the hot sauce already.
"Wear a cat" had me laughing until I was coughing.

As we're on the other side of the world it's just time for us to start drying our clothes on the line now and Jon's giving the lawn the first mow of the year.
Those chillies look wonderful as does your line of washing, so much colour. xxx

Yes, as Vix says, we're taking the extra blankets off the beds now, I've got a line full of washing, and the cats are loving the garden again after a winter of snuggling on the sofa with us!
Ooh, don't those chillies look amazing? Love 'em! And I do like your dandelion clock photos too, and sleepy Tex is always my favourite boy! xxx xxx

In reply to Goody's comments, I've heard that a lot about not being able to hand out washing in the US, what a truly bizarre ruling, I'd be breaking that rule. Who has the right to tell you that you can't hang washing out. Shakes head in disbelief!

Your pelargonium and gerbera are a picture, as is Sue's dog's bum!
Here, my perennials are starting to break through the earth, the washing is out, ditto the sun and I've mowed the lawn. Think I must be the only person in the entire universe not to have seen one episode of GOT, I hear it's good tho.

I've added some new stuff to my AET Data Checker addin.
First, I added some labels so you can see what the Main Column and Look At Column are referring to (not just the Column letter)
The assumption is you will have your data set up with column headers in the first row.
Next up, you can now select the Main Criteria from a combo box (dropdown list). Or you can still type it in like before. Plus you can use wildcards like * and ?.
With all combo boxes, you can use the up and down arrow keys to rapidly change columns and criteria.
You'll also notice some new checkboxes.
What do they do? This!
When used, the highlighted labels make it easy to see what values matter. Use the square button at the top to turn all highlighting off or the checkboxes to toggle it individually.

text: Mayor Jack Scott of Cordova, Ala., seems determined to keep his tornado-devastated town 35 miles outside Birmingham free of mobile homes. He is refusing to waive a local ban on single-wide trailers, which means homeless residents can't stay in temporary mobile homes delivered by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Two twisters hit Cordova on April 27, killing four people and cutting a half-mile-wide swath of destruction through the blue-collar, 2,000-population town.

Symphonic Musicians and Hearing Loss
Symphonic Musicians and Hearing Loss
Schmidt et al (2014) evaluated musicians from five Danish symphony orchestras in 2009 and 2010. The authors reported on 394 total musicians, of whom 337 musicians filled in the questionnaires. Audiometric measures were obtained from 212 musicians. Of those, 182 musicians (363 ears) results were analyzed with respect to sound exposure as well as mean thresholds at 3k, 4k and 6k.
Perhaps unexpectedly, the majority of musicians had better hearing at 3k, 4k, and 6k than would have been predicted based on age. The authors stated (in general) the most significant noise-related threshold changes were found at 3k and 4k. However, trumpet players and the left ears of the first violinists demonstrated hearing thresholds that were significantly elevated, which was not surprising based on their (average) sound exposure which was described as 90 dB for 41 years.
The authors concluded that "most of the symphony orchestra musicians had better hearing than expected but they had a work-related risk of developing additional noise induced hearing loss." The authors recommend hearing protection devices (HPDs) as well as careful planning of repertoires and practice time to help reduce the sound exposure of symphonic musicians.

This article looks into the reasons for the devaluation of the Chinese currency that is taking place.
The Chinese currency data might be poor, but it has brought in hopes of stimulation. At the same time, the London market has risen sharply and showed the inflation levels to be highest after a year. The poor currency data from China has brought hopes that measures will be incorporated to boost the economy. With these positive sentiments the UK markets have gone up. The overnight data on China's currency movement shows that the economy has grown about 6.9% as compared to last year, which is one of the lowest levels of growth achieved as compared to the last 25 years.
Traders are taking cues from this sit-upon as they feel that China will now devaluate their currency as well as take on other steps in order to make their growth rate get back to a healthy figure. Here is An Interesting Article on the effect of the same on global currencies – Did Chinese Currency Trigger a Global Currency War?
The decline that has come about in China's currency recently has brought about turmoil in the stock market of the country. The government even suspended trading on several accounts which reflects the challenge that the country is facing. It needs to figure out its domestic as well as the international economic stance and the obligations it has. The approach that the authorities take will determine the impact on the global economy as well.
The financial crisis that came on a global scale in 2008 led to a disappointing recovery of most of the global economies. This, in turn, brought about a change in the growth model of China. The initial growth model has been based on external demand and investment which then shifted to the domestic demand based model. This kind of a transition structurally cannot be achieved without a decline in the country's economic growth. The country is now facing a sluggish rate of growth and being a large economy, the solution is not easy to find.
For many years the government has tried to increase the equity owners in the country which has led to more citizens having a larger stake in the companies formed as the country moved to a market based economy. The policies that the country took led to a situation that could not be sustained financially. This led to the possibilities of seeing prices declining as well as dislocation problems.
The challenges in the adjustment in the Chinese economy are showing forth even more now. Chinese companies are not being able to find an adequate market abroad to accept the growing volume of products that they produce. For that reason the production capacity has also stalled, leading to fall in employment growth as well as wages. The government has been unable to maintain the asset prices as well as take control of the credit crisis situations. The currency is being guided to lower levels in order to reduce the adverse effect on the wellbeing of the citizens. The fixes are now on a downhill in order to make Chinese goods appear more attractive in overseas markets while import substitution is being brought back in home markets. It is yet to be seen whether this will lead to problems being solved.

Table saw is a wood cutting tool which is used for cutting the big wood blocks into small pieces according to the purpose. Such table saw can be used by an electric motor and it also consists a circular saw blade. The angle of the blade controls the angle of cut and hybrid, contractor, and benchtop is the three general classes of the table saw. This machine is dangerous and only professionals can use this with lots of safety equipments. It is operated by an electric motor and that depends on the horse power. While there are many table saws are present in the market but when we talk about the high quality then the list becomes shorter.
Considerable points
The selection of the best one seems so easy but only those people can understand the difficulty level that has already gone through from this. If you going to buy a new table saw then keep in mind a lot of considerable points which makes the selection process easy. The first thing that can't be ignored is the weight of the machine, if that matters to you check that table saws buying guide. As the smart operator, you should go for the portable machine which can easily be carried. The flawless shape of timber depends on a motor which should be fast so that you can get the desired shape.
Table saw should have the perfect blade control by which a woodworker is able to control the angles of the blade. With a perfect control, you can easily get the sharp and smooth cut according to the desire and needs. These types of table saws are little bit expensive so before going to buy, you must make a budget which makes the selection process easy. Try to find the high-quality table saw with all safety features which give the proper protection to a woodworker.

Test-Driven Development for Servlets
If you look at Listing 1, you can see that I used ServletUnit to write a test that calls the getOpenPool() method of the servlet to get the set of games for the football pool and then checks to make sure the pool returned is correct. You do this by first setting up ServletUnit's ServletRunner and ServletUnitClient and then using the InvocationContext object to execute one of the servlet's methods and check the results.
As you can see, writing the test first helped you make some decisions about the design of the servlet. You have decided that the servlet will have a getOpenPool() method that will take the request object as an argument and return a FootballPool. Also, as you can see, one of the nice features of ServletUnit is that it enables you to test the internal methods of a servlet. This allows you to do fine grain testing, which makes TDD easier.
At the moment, you cannot run the test because you have not created the actual servlet yet. Now that you understand the requirements of this method of the servlet, you can implement the servlet so that you can run the test (see Listing 2).
public class PlayerPickServlet extends HttpServlet { public FootballPool getOpenPool(HttpServletRequest request) { PoolDatabase poolData = (PoolDatabase)request.getSession().getAttribute("PoolDatabase"); FootballPool pool = poolData.getOpenPool(); return(pool); } }
Listing 2: getOpenPool method for the servlet
As you see, the implementation of the getOpenPool() method is pretty simple. You have made the assumption that the servlet will communicate with a database to get the data for the football pool. You have created a PoolDatabase interface call to define the methods the servlet will use to interact with the database (see the downloadable source code for details).
Now that you have written the servlet code, you now can run the test, which fails miserably. The problem is that when the servlet tries to get the PoolDatabase object, it gets a null pointer because it was never created. Creating a PoolDatabase object that the servlet can use could be a lot of work because it means creating an implementation of the PoolDatabase interface and hooking it up to a database. This could be a real hassle and make the test hard to run and maintain. Luckily, there is a better way to create a PoolDatabase object: by using a MockObject framework such as EasyMock. By using EasyMock, you can add some code to your test that will enable you to easily create a PoolDatabase object that the servlet can use. To do so, you add the following code to your test (updated code in bold).
public void testDisplayPlayerPicks() { MockControl poolDataMockcontrol; // Create a mock control to simulate the PoolDatabase class poolDataMockcontrol = MockControl.createControl(PoolDatabase.class); //Get mock object PoolDatabase mockPoolData = (PoolDatabase) poolDataMockcontrol.getMock(); //Train the mock object mockPoolData.getOpenPool(); //Create return value for mock method FootballPool fbPool = createFbPool(); poolDataMockcontrol.setReturnValue(fbPool); poolDataMockcontrol.replay(); // Set up servlet unit to run the PlayerPickServlet ServletRunner sr = new ServletRunner(); sr.registerServlet("PlayerPickServlet", PlayerPickServlet.class.getName()); ServletUnitClient sc = sr.newClient(); WebRequest request = new PostMethodWebRequest("http://localhost/PlayerPickServlet"); try { // Use the InvocationContext to create and instance // of the servlet InvocationContext ic = sc.newInvocation(request); PlayerPickServlet ppickServlet = (PlayerPickServlet) ic.getServlet(); assertNull("A session already exists", ic.getRequest().getSession(false)); HttpServletRequest ppickServletRequest = ic.getRequest(); // Add the mock PoolDatabase class to the servlet's // session data HttpSession servletSession = ppickServletRequest.getSession(); servletSession.setAttribute("PoolDatabase", mockPoolData); // Call the servlet's getOpenPool() method FootballPool openPool = ppickServlet.getOpenPool(ppickServletRequest); // Check the returned football pool to make sure it is // correct assertEquals("Kansas City", openPool.getAwayTeam(0)); assertEquals("Green Bay", openPool.getHomeTeam(0)); assertEquals("Houston", openPool.getAwayTeam(1)); assertEquals("Tennessee", openPool.getHomeTeam(1)); assertEquals("Carolina", openPool.getAwayTeam(2)); assertEquals("Indianapolis", openPool.getHomeTeam(2)); assertEquals("NY Giants", openPool.getAwayTeam(3)); assertEquals("New England", openPool.getHomeTeam(3)); assertEquals("Chicago", openPool.getAwayTeam(4)); assertEquals("New Orleans", openPool.getHomeTeam(4)); assertEquals("Oakland", openPool.getAwayTeam(5)); assertEquals("Cleveland", openPool.getHomeTeam(5)); assertEquals("Philadelphia", openPool.getAwayTeam(6)); assertEquals("Dallas", openPool.getHomeTeam(6)); assertEquals("Tampa Bay", openPool.getAwayTeam(7)); assertEquals("Washington", openPool.getHomeTeam(7)); assertEquals("Miami", openPool.getAwayTeam(8)); assertEquals("Jacksonville", openPool.getHomeTeam(8)); assertEquals("Pittsburgh", openPool.getAwayTeam(9)); assertEquals("Denver", openPool.getHomeTeam(9)); assertEquals("Buffalo", openPool.getAwayTeam(10)); assertEquals("NY Jets", openPool.getHomeTeam(10)); assertEquals("Baltimore", openPool.getAwayTeam(11)); assertEquals("Arizona", openPool.getHomeTeam(11)); assertEquals("San Francisco", openPool.getAwayTeam(12)); assertEquals("Seattle", openPool.getHomeTeam(12)); assertEquals("Atlanta", openPool.getAwayTeam(13)); assertEquals("St. Louis", openPool.getHomeTeam(13)); poolDataMockcontrol.verify(); } catch (Exception e) { fail("Error testing DisplayPlayerPickServlet Exception is " + e); e.printStackTrace(); } }
Listing 3: Updated Test for getting a list of the weekly football games
If you look at the updated code, you can see that you first used the EasyMock framework to create a mock PoolDatabase class; then you added this mock object to the servlet's session data. With this added code, you cannot run the test and get it to pass; this means that you are finished with the development for this method. To add other methods to the servlet, you would follow a similar pattern:
- Create a simple test from the required behavior.
- Add code to the servlet to get the test to compile and run.
- Use a mock object to simulate the dependent classes needed by the servlet.
- Refactor the test and source code to improve the code and fix any problems.
Developing servlets in this manner has many advantages, including providing a simple incremental way to develop code, having tests for all code, being able to refactor easily, ad so forth. Although it may take you a while to learn how to use tools such as Servlet Unit and EasyMock effectively, once you master the techniques shown here, you will be able to develop servlets faster with fewer bugs.
The zip file associated with this article, ServletTDD.zip, has a full set of source code for the example shown here. Experience is the best teacher, so I would encourage you to download and run the example to fully understand how to use TDD to develop servlets. I have also provided a list of reference to some TDD resources which should be useful. The list of resources includes a link to my book, Test-Driven Development: A J2EE Example, which focuses on explaining the tools and techniques needed to use TDD on a real J2EE project. It contains topics on servlets, JSP, and EJB development, as well as an explanation of how to use TDD to integrate all the pieces of a J2EE application. It's a good book with a lot of useful examples. I highly recommend it, but then again, I'm probably a little biased.

More and more, work-related worries and responsibilities are invading our off-hours. Here's how to reclaim the downtime you deserve
Jessica Girdwain
T.G.I.F.? Not necessarily. Friday used to mean you were facing a weekend of fun and relaxation, but now those two bliss-filled days have become a lot less, well, bliss filled, thanks to a laundry list of chores, take-home work, and a jam-packed social calendar.
A bummer, to be sure, but cramming your life full of endless obligations is also a health hazard: Studies show that when you shift gears, you can actually make yourself sick, likely because you're throwing off your body's natural rhythm, which can mess with your physical well-being. In the journal Psychological Topics, clinical psychology professor Ad Vingerhoets, Ph.D., calls this modern malady "leisure sickness."
The Inability to Unplug
Here's what's happening: Your body churns out adrenaline, often in response to work demands, but nowadays the flow of that energy-producing hormone isn't stemmed come Friday night. And the continuous release of adrenaline when you don't need it (i.e., during downtime) can create a "physiological disturbance that puts you at risk for developing fatigue and headaches," says Vingerhoets. Also, staying plugged in after you clock out is one of the reasons sleep problems have become a monster issue affecting some 70 million Americans, according to the National Center on Sleep Disorders Research at the National Institutes of Health.
And because the average woman works nine hours more each week than she did in 2004, according to data collected last year by the Center for Work-Life Policy, more of the domestic to-do list—sorting laundry, shopping for groceries, plowing through piles of bills—is saved for the weekend.
"We run our lives like seven-day workweeks because we think we can use our weekend time to catch up," says psychologist Rachna Jain, Psy.D., "but it's exhausting." That might explain why Monday is often not the most productive workday, according to Accountemps, a staffing firm that maximizes productivity. "If the highs of stress during the week aren't offset by the lows of leisure on the weekend, your cortisol levels can remain sky-high, hampering your body's natural ability to bounce back and recharge," says Stephanie McClellan, M.D., coauthor of So Stressed: The Ultimate Stress-Relief Plan for Women. "Too much cortisol can even accelerate aging." (Bet that got your attention!) And chronic stress can lead to high blood pressure and heart disease, as well as anxiety and depression.
Decisions, Decisions
Another reason weekends tend to wipe us out: They're not as structured as weekdays, where tasks are laid out for us. "Most people aren't prepared to function with free time," says Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Ph.D., codirector of the Quality of Life Research Center at Claremont Graduate University in California. "We end up being overwhelmed with a sense that we need to fill each minute with quality stuff. We often end up wasting our days by not doing anything interesting, rather than planning things that produce happiness."
So how do you go about making the most of your days off? According to McClellan, it's all about "balancing times of exertion with times of quiet and leisure." We asked some experts to offer up their smartest tricks for restoring the replenishing power of the weekend.

Dungeons & Dragons Online (DDO), 3D Visions
August 19, 2009
Well I'm almost ashamed that it took so long to do another review and it isn't even the promised LotRO review. Well for the last months I have been playing DDO, in stereoscopic mode mostly and so I finally won over my laziness, so here is a new entry to my blog.
Character/ Environmental Detail
Having passed its 3 year anniversary, Dungeons and Dragons Online is one of the older MMO's out there. As far as I know it uses a rendering engine of Turbines own design and basically has the same core rendering engine as LoTRO. I have to say that I did't find the graphics so spectacular in regular 3D but in s3D they are very nice. Being a bit spoiled by more modern games I always found that DDO had to view options to customize the looks of your character at the start but now and then I see higher level characters spotting pretty nifty armor.
Characters and environment don't have the highest polygon count there is but once you turn on s3D mode the visuals are very crisp and for me its like looking at my painted tin miniatures I had as a child when I played pen&paper D&D some odd 25 years ago. The environment looks pretty well, especially the insides of the many dungeons. A small negative point I have with the game is that the dungeons often look the same and the whole game lacks a bit in graphical variety for my personal taste. Well maybe thats just me being a n00b (only lvl 6 atm) and I would see more exiting places later on.
Depth/ Ghosting
I may have said that about other games as well but the feeling of depth in DDO is one of the best I have seen for a 3rd person game. There are some light sources in the game here and there that can give you some ghosting but since most of the gameplay takes places in moody lit dungeons the overall ghosting is next to not noticeable. As I said the depth effect for the characters is very good and also, mostly due to the dungeon type of gameplay where you don't have very high distances, the whole scenery looks very "solid". In some rare occasion tough the camera would rotate an object (i.e. part of a tree or wall) to close to the eye and it breaks the overall good effect but that rarely ever happens, so in all the camera works pretty good in s3D.
The Interface/ Combat
For my personal taste the front of my screen, which I like to call windshield, is pretty cluttered with the many parts of the user interface. Especially if you are a caster, or otherwise have many skills a good part of the screen will consist of hotbars, compass, chat, options menue, adventure tracker and so on wich partly can be minimized but still take to much space for my liking. on the other hand the onscreen text is very much readable and clear. The targeting cursor isn't really 3d but its usable. NPC's names are pretty much where they should be, on top of the model. Spells and other effects are true 3d so they work very nicely in s3d mode. If you like to, you can turn most of that off in the game options.
The gameplay itself demands a bit of manual aiming and movement in fights but this works very well in stereo 3D.
Final Toughs
Overall DDO is another game where my preferred method of playing is the s3D mode.
If I were developer for a day for DDO (and could work really really fast) i would probably iron out these minor flaws:
- Redesign the interface to give more space to the 3D environment.
- Do voiceovers (yeah yeah i hate to read quest text)
- Bring in more variety in the environment and character customization.
- Bring in some visual, 3D information about my health and mana so I dont have to constantly shift my focus from 3D scene to interface when playing.
Anyways I'm pretty happy to continue playing DDO in s3D, as a matter of fact I think I'll do that right now…
Next to come: maybe finally my re-evaluation of Lord of the Rings online, stay tuned
