Sunday News Round-Up – New Whovian Edition
An update on the Tennessee Democratic Party (#TNDP) chair election – Roy Herron was elected, 39-27. I'm personally already sick of the explanation that if we want to "win" in Tennessee, we need to accept being "pro-life, anti-gay, and pro-gun." Winning on those terms doesn't sound like winning at all to, say, women, and gay people, and the folks who love them. That sounds like keeping people in power just for the sake of it, and it's disgusting.
Some recent posts over at Our Bodies Our Blog:
- Carol Sakala with a guest item on maternity care and medicolegal liability: Fixing Persistent Liability Concerns in Maternity Care: We Can Do It!
- When Pregnancy is a Crime: Arrests, Forced Interventions in the Name of Public Health
- Roe Round-Up: Analysis on the 40th Anniversary of Legalized Abortion
National Advocates for Pregnant Women, whose director (Lynn Paltrow) is the lead author on the study of forced interventions discussed in the link above, has a lengthy post on the topic of Post-Roe v Wade and "Pro-Life" Measures.
Bill Moyers spoke to NAPW's Lynn Paltrow, and National Latina Institute for Reproductive Health's Jessica González-Rojas, for an episode of Moyers & Company that might be airing today where you are. Check online, too. (see also from NAPW)
Radical Doula also talks about the ACNM's statement on quality care for transgender, transsexual, and gender variant people, with links to additional resources.
"In Malpractice Case, Catholic Hospital Argues Fetuses Aren't People" – No, really.
To the Point (KCRW, heard on NPR) doesn't seem to offer transcripts, but I believe it was guest James Bowman (@JamesVBowman), who, in an episode on women in combat, refused to acknowledge the possibility that women could be honorable, insisting that men historically have shown their honor through combat, while women have shown *their* honor through chastity. That sound you heard was a million women simultaneously headdesking, vomiting, and punching their computers/radios.
*Of course* Tennessee's Diane Black is a headliner in the "March for Life." She doesn't speak for me, either.
Why I won't be moving to Texas, either, part eleventy million: After Forcing Women To Drop Their Doctors, Texas Gives Them A Faulty List Of Replacements.
Libraryland nerd stuff: the copyright issues involved in the Jonathan Coulton/Glee/Baby Got Back story are complicated (but something fun to talk to the resident audio engineer about), but I think his response of releasing "a cover of Glee's cover of my cover of Sir Mix-a-Lot's song" is pretty clever.
And The Feminist Librarian talks about writing fan fiction, especially the sex bits. Complete with Doctor Who images.
This week's "Edition" title is a nod to the fact that I just started watching Doctor Who for the first time ever recently (starting with Eccleston). I just finished up with the Tenth Doctor last night. It was the Ood song that really crushed me, in the end. Wept.

Ripper – The Secret Life of Walter Sickert (2017)
From New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell comes Ripper: The Secret Life of Walter Sickert, a comprehensive and intriguing exposé of one of the world's most chilling cases of serial murder—and the police force that failed to solve it. Vain and charismatic Walter Sickert made a name for himself as a painter in Victorian London. But the ghoulish nature of his art—as well as extensive evidence—points to another name, one that's left its bloody mark on the pages of history: Jack the Ripper. Cornwell has collected never-before-seen archival material—including a rare mortuary photo, personal correspondence and a will with a mysterious autopsy clause—and applied cutting-edge forensi...

About Beretta 98
Beretta is probably the largest company producing firearms in the world. It's output is approximately 1,500 produced weapons a day. One of the biggest achievements of Beretta is definitely the fact that the American Armed Forces and State Police Forces started using Beretta 92 series in 1985. The company added to its classical sporting guns production a completely new line of hunting apparel and accessories, clay target shooting and outdoor sports items in the early 1990s.
Today is this unique company owned by Ugo Gussalli Beretta and his sons, Franco and Pietro. What makes Beretta Beretta if not the traditional father-to-son dynasty? However their dynasty was a little interrupted because Ugo married into the Beretta family and he adopted the last name Beretta. Beretta Holding that is the parent company also owns Beretta USA, Stoeger, Benelli, Franchi, SAKO, Uberti, Tikka and the Burris Optics company. Besides numerous high-quality firearms, the Beretta family produces a plenty of renowned Italian wines. Around 1950, Giuseppe Beretta, Luigi Castelbarco and motorcycle designer Giuseppe Benelli started designing and manufacturing automobiles.
In 2015 the company celebrated the 100-year anniversary of the production of Beretta's first semi-automatic pistol. Although the company's trademark sidearm is 92FS, its semi-automatic roots rest with the Model 1915, that was adopted by Italian forces during the World War I.
The 98 is a semi-automatic pistol, chambered with 9mm Makarov ammunition. Maximum magazine capacity is 15 rounds. The Beretta Serie 98 holds an average amount compared to other pistols of the same caliber. This model is a semi auto pistol chambered for the 9x21mm cartridge, that is a powerful self-defense round as well as a favorite among USPSA and IPSC competition shooters. Other than the versatility of the cartridge, there are also many,tactical features it offers, which make it unique, such as Picatinny rail and ultra-tough magazines; also, the 98 has increased durability thanks to an internal recoil buffer, and its operation and disassembly maintenance are up to Beretta standards. Another feature that will impress you about the 98 is the type of magazine it comes with. This pistol has 15-round stainless steel magazines that are designed to deliver remarkable firepower out of the box while being resistant to corrosion and absolutely durable. The magazines have enhanced reliability of feeding thanks to a 'dirt rail' and an easy magazine maintenance. The magazine is also aggressively beveled, making it fast to change magazines without taking your eyes off the target, what's really useful.

· Tony Bryan, Extension Services Specialist
President Myra Crook called the meeting to order at 7 pm with the Pledge of Allegiance. Six members responded to roll call. Ms. Crook opened the floor for public comments. No requests for time were received.
The following reports were included in the Board packet.
· Financial Report—Rick Schultz
· Director's Report—Jim Brown
· Strategic Initiatives and Planning Update—Kristin Williams
Per the Board's request, Kristin Williams has chosen to focus on Strategic Initiative #3 Develop and Deliver a Communication Strategy that will enhance the visibility of the Library District. This initiative has four objectives:
3.1 Identify & Clarify Messaging of the District—This objective clarifies who we are as a District and what we do and provide in the community. We are working with an outside source to create a strategy; and what methods the District should use to communicate this message effectively.
3.2 Educate & Train Staff on District Messaging—This objective includes educating current and new staff in an effort to build a culture of trust and knowledge-sharing.
3.3 Establish Effective mechanisms for customer feedback—This objective includes the methods in which the District hears from the customer and how to react to the feedback.
3.4 Allocate resources available to support goals—This objective will work in conjunction with any information that we receive from a third party, or outside source, in helping us figure out how to allocate financial and staff time resources.
Kristin Williams also took this opportunity to share some exciting news regarding the Take 20 and Read campaign. The MO Cowbell Marathon committee has committed their proceeds to the campaign for 2013!!
· Monthly Statistical Report
· Making a Difference: Free Tax Preparation Service—Jim Brown
This is a new section of the meeting that will highlight programs and services offered by the Library District for its customers. This meeting, Jim Brown shared the tax services offered FREE at the library. The Library District partners with several community agencies to help low-income and elderly residents with their tax refund preparation. This has been a very successful program for us; usually filling all available appointments each year.
· FY13 Public Service Workload Projections—Jim Brown
Since 1997, Jim Brown has compiled this report to use primarily to aid in personnel budget decisions. The only anomaly was last fiscal year when the report was not prepared due to Spencer Road's closing among other circumstances. One caveat with the report is that nothing exists to use for comparison; other Districts or libraries do not prepare a report for us to compare ourselves.
· Correspondence
Consent Agenda
· Minutes from 12 February 2013 Meeting
MOTION: Mary Reese moved to approve the Consent Agenda. Georganne MacNab seconded. Motion passed seven affirmative, zero negative, zero abstentions, and two absent.
13-24 Transfer of Funds to Advertising Budget
There is a request to transfer funds in the amount of $5000 from Reserves to the Advertising line-item for two purposes:
1. The District has an opportunity to sub-lease advertising time on a digital billboard located on I-70 between Spencer Road overpass and the Cave Springs exit.
2. The advertising of the Assistant Director position could cause the line-item to exceed its budgeted amount for the fiscal year.
The request is for $2500 for each. John Thoelke inquired as to why we need to move the money from Reserves versus utilizing funds from a line-item that may not be used completely. His recommendation would be to either move funds from another line, or overspend the Advertising line, but stay under budget on overall Operating Revenue. There is no need to go into the Reserve Fund.
13-25 Projected 2013 Tax Rate
Due to the fact that St. Charles County is required to send out estimated tax notices to its' property holders, the Library District must estimate, or project, its tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year. The rate that is projected now is non-binding. The actual tax rate is set in September. Currently, the District's tax rate is 21.81¢; the maximum authorized is 26¢.
A revised copy of the financial figures, with the correct Personal Property assessed valuation number was distributed at the Board meeting. The original memo sent directly to the Board members had the incorrect amount on it.
Based on Rick Schultz's overall analysis as stated in his agenda memo, he indicated that "the District may wish to consider a projected tax rate of 23.00¢".
Jerry Cook immediately expressed that he does not feel like the tax rate should be changed; it should remain the same as last year and the District should consider trimming expenses. John Thoelke cautioned that we are confident that assessed values will not be increasing; therefore, based on the reassessment, even if we increase the tax rate, we will most likely not increase revenue. With that being said, the District still needs to do our service to the public and project a rate that is as true as we can project at this point in time.
MOTION: Joann Leykam moved to set the non-binding projected tax rate estimate at 21.81¢, the current rate. Jerry Cook seconded. Motion passed seven affirmative, zero negative, zero abstentions, and two absent.
13-26 FY14 Materials Budget Proposal
The FY14 Materials Budget information included in your packet is for informational purposes only; there is no action needed at this time.
Based on the recommended changes, it is estimated that the FY14 Materials Budget total is $3,385,535. This reflects an increase from FY13 of $124,400. Of the $124,400, the following is included:
· $33,000 added to the Periodicals line-item for an online magazine subscription database, Zinio.
· $65,000 added to the Audio media line-item for a new downloadable music service, Freegal.
It is also important to note that for FY13, the ebooks budget amount will not all be spent due to the unavailability of stock for purchase. Those funds will be transferred elsewhere in the budget. Line-items that will increase in FY14 are Adult Books, YA Books, Periodicals, Audio Media, Video Media, and Binding & Supplies. Line-items that will see a decrease in FY14 include YA ebooks (lack of supply), Adult ebooks (lack of supply), and Reference.
MOTION:Lisa Pelikan moved to adjourn the meeting.
Mary Reese seconded. Motion passed seven affirmative, zero negative, zero abstentions, and two absent.
The meeting adjourned at 8:19 p.m.
Respectfully submitted
April C. Wootten, Recording Secretary

In this morning's New York Times, Barack Obama published an op-ed on Iraq that presumably previews his "major speech" on the subject tomorrow. Even by Obama's standards, the piece is breathtakingly dishonest.
Obama admits that he opposed the surge, and the attendant change in strategy and tactics, that have brought us close to victory. But he somehow manages to twist his being wrong about the surge–the major foreign policy issue that has arisen during his time in Congress–into vindication:
But the same factors that led me to oppose the surge still hold true. The strain on our military has grown, the situation in Afghanistan has deteriorated and we've spent nearly $200 billion more in Iraq than we had budgeted. Iraq's leaders have failed to invest tens of billions of dollars in oil revenues in rebuilding their own country, and they have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge.
Actually, however, Obama opposed the surge not because of those "factors" but because he thought it would fail. He said, on January 10, 2007, on MSNBC:
I am not persuaded that 20,000 additional troops in Iraq is going to solve the sectarian violence there. In fact, I think it will do the reverse.
On January 14, 2007, on Face the Nation, he said:
We cannot impose a military solution on what has effectively become a civil war. And until we acknowledge that reality — we can send 15,000 more troops, 20,000 more troops, 30,000 more troops, I don't know any expert on the region or any military officer that I've spoken to privately that believes that that is going to make a substantial difference on the situation on the ground.
On March 19, 2007, on the Larry King show, he said:
[E]ven those who are supporting — but here's the thing, Larry — even those who support the escalation have acknowledged that 20,000, 30,000, even 40,000 more troops placed temporarily in places like Baghdad are not going to make a long-term difference.
On May 25, 2007, in a speech to the Coalition Of Black Trade Unionists Convention, Obama said:
And what I know is that what our troops deserve is not just rhetoric, they deserve a new plan. Governor Romney and Senator McCain clearly believe that the course that we're on in Iraq is working, I do not.
On July 18, 2007, on the Today show, he said:
My assessment is that the surge has not worked and we will not see a different report eight weeks from now.
On November 11, 2007, two months after General David Petraeus told Congress that the surge was working, Obama doubled down, saying that the administration's new strategy was making the situation in Iraq worse:
Finally, in 2006-2007, we started to see that, even after an election, George Bush continued to want to pursue a course that didn't withdraw troops from Iraq but actually doubled them and initiated a surge and at that stage I said very clearly, not only have we not seen improvements, but we're actually worsening, potentially, a situation there.
In short, Obama bet the farm on his prediction that General Petraeus and the American military would fail. He was as spectacularly wrong as John McCain was spectacularly right. But his op-ed somehow twists this history into vindication on the theory that Afghanistan has deteriorated, the Iraq war has been expensive, and Iraq's political leaders "have not reached the political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge."
Let's start with the last point. Obama completely fails to acknowledge the remarkable political progress that has resulted from the surge, as manifested by the fact that the country's largest Sunni bloc has rejoined the government, and the U.S. Embassy reports that 15 of the 18 benchmarks of political progress that were set by Congress are now being met. Those benchmarks were set precisely for the purpose of measuring the "political accommodation that was the stated purpose of the surge," yet Obama fails even to mention them.
Still more dishonest is Obama's failure to acknowledge what would have happened if his policy prescription, precipitate withdrawal regardless of military conditions, had been followed: chaos, sectarian violence, possibly genocide, a resurgent al Qaeda in control of part of Iraq, with Iran possibly in control of other areas of the country. This would have been a foreign policy disaster, yet Obama, with vague references to cost and Afghanistan, claims vindication!
As to al Qaeda–the elephant in the room–Obama simply dissimulates:
Iraq is not the central front in the war on terrorism, and it never has been.
That's not what Osama bin Laden (Iraq is where the "Third World War is raging") or Ayman al-Zawahiri (Iraq is "the place for the greatest battle of Islam in this era") say. Al Qaeda summoned jihadists from around the Muslim world to go to Iraq to fight American troops, declaring that this effort is the central front in their war against civilization. Those jihadists have been devastated by American armed forces, who have thereby scored what may, with hindsight, turn out to have been the decisive victory in the war against Muslim extremism. Obama denies all of this in a single sentence, without citing any evidence whatsoever.
Finally, Afghanistan: Obama would have us believe that he urged defeat in Iraq because he was so firmly committed to victory in Afghanistan. Once again, he misrepresents the record.
In fact, Obama has never supported our troops in Afghanistan. On the contrary, he said on August 14, 2007–less than a year ago–that our forces there are mostly committing war crimes:
We've got to get the job done there and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air-raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous pressure over there.
Obama has been so uninterested in Afghanistan that when he went to Iraq and other countries in the Middle East with a Congressional delegation in January 2006, he skipped the opportunity to continue on to Afghanistan, which was taken by others who made the trip with him, including Kit Bond and Harold Ford. And, in an embarrassing gaffe, Obama claimed on May 13, 2008, that we don't have enough "Arabic interpreters, Arab language speakers" in Afghanistan because they are all being used in Iraq. Obama thereby demonstrated the intellectual laziness and incuriosity that characterizes his campaign: they don't speak Arabic in Afghanistan, and, anyway, interpreters are drawn from local populations, not shipped around the world.
Worst of all, far from being committed to victory in Afghanistan, Obama voted to cut off all funding for all of our military efforts in Afghanistan on May 24, 2007 (H.R. 2206, CQ Vote #181), thereby seeking to bring about defeat there as well as in Iraq. His current effort to portray himself as a wolf in sheep's clothing on Afghanistan is a complete fraud.
It is possible that at some point in American history there may have been a major politician as dishonest as Barack Obama, but I can't offhand think of such a miscreant.

Aiglemont 60270 Gouvieux, France
Collonge-Bellerive, Switzerland, 16th May 2003 - In the calm of the quiet Swiss commune at whose heart he lived for nearly half a century, Prince Sadruddin Aga Khan was today laid to rest following traditional Muslim ceremonies, attended, as he had wished, by his most intimate family.
Beneath the arches of the Château de Bellerive, the site of an ancient Cistercian abbey, last respects were paid to the gentle refrain of Quaranic recitation led by Sheikh Ahmed Ahmed Ibrahim who leads the prayers at the late Aga Khan's mausoleum in Aswan, Egypt.
Covered by a simple green cloth edged with subtle filigree design of Fatimid inspiration, the bier was carried to the shaded spot in the local cemetery of Collonge-Bellerive atop the shoulders of male members of Prince Sadruddin's close family. Led by his nephews, His Highness the Aga Khan and Prince Amyn Aga Khan, they included his great-nephews, Prince Rahim Aga Khan, Prince Hussain Aga Khan and his stepsons, Messrs. Alexandre, Marc and Nicolas Sursock.
Princess Catherine Aleya, the widow of Prince Sadruddin, led lady members of the family, including his cousin, Mme Françoise Carron, his niece, Princess Yasmin Aga Khan Embiricos, his great-niece, Princess Zahra Aga Khan and Her Highness Begum Inaara Aga Khan.
Throughout yesterday afternoon and into the early evening, local and international dignitaries and close friends numbering in several hundreds came to pay a last homage at the residence by Lac Leman where he had received so many people of all walks of life.
"The destiny of this family of high Persian nobility, descended from the Prophet Muhammad (may peace be upon him), is inextricably linked to that of this small European town and to an ambitious project to improve the human condition", read a tribute from the Canton of Geneva.
His Highness the Aga Khan indicated that it was Prince Sadruddin's and Princess Catherine Aleya's wish that their mortal remains ultimately be laid to rest in Muslim soil in Egypt where the Princess was born.

Making the decision to attend college is probably one of the most important decisions you'll ever make, and your performance on college entrance exams is instrumental in determining your college choice. Universities and colleges throughout the U.S. require applicants to take the SAT or ACT as part of their evaluation package. This course will prepare you for both tests.
Both the ACT and the SAT contain verbal and math question types. SAT/ACT Preparation Part 2 will give you all the information you need to do well on the math questions of the ACT and the new SAT. The ACT math tests your knowledge of arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and basic statistics. This course provides you with a complete math review of all these subjects. We'll also show you how to use your time wisely so that you finish as many math questions as possible in the 60 minutes the ACT gives you for the math test.
Beginning with the March 2016 exam, the SAT math questions have changed a bit. They eliminated the quantitative comparison questions and added questions on functions and graphing functions. The lessons in this course are designed to prepare you for those changes. In addition to reviewing arithmetic, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and basic statistics, we'll cover functions and other algebra II subjects now tested on the SAT.

Fredbear family bữa tối, bữa ăn tối 2086
Fredbear and his friend spring trap aka spring Bonnie was on the stage. What happened is 4 bullies got the crying child too close to the animatronics then fredbear bit his head off trying not to. Spring trap felt sad plus he was left in fasbears fright. One of the night gards burnt it down with him in it. The pantoms survived and because nightmare animatronics. After they won biting crying child head off again they become cute. The end.
And don't forget foxy also bit too bởi a error
Behold the horrors
They lurk beneath
the shadows of remorse
bạn wouldn't know of course
but I force a new judgment day
On this ngày bạn will repay
your respects to all that may
lurk in between your mind
and man kind
So have a seat
and be afraid
Fears about to commence
the final ritual
One body is all we need
for this to be complete
And when the day
begins to take form
bạn won't be leaving those doors
I didn't...want this...
No...I didn't...
I didn't ask for this...
To be brought back...
To be...given life...
Every day...
Again and again...
I want revenge
On the one inside...too...
But why is it...I must suffer...
For his mistakes?
He hurt so many people...
Using me to do it...
I did my part...
I killed him...
And the other survives
There were 2
One for each suit
Torn apart and
Put back together
Swinging around
Light as a feather
bạn hear my static
And bạn run
Children have killed me
Just for fun
I shouldn't be here
I should be hidden
Kept out of reach
Touching forbidden
Instead I am here
And hanging around
bạn only see me
Once on the ground
I'll get revenge
One of these days
I can see it now
In my golden gaze
2 operative heads
Are better then one.
2 golden suits
Perfect for planning
1 room never seen
Within any camera ever
We live to see days when
We can select carefully
Whom should be sacrificed
Each empty robot
Each could use a touch of...
Yes, and we can provide just that.
Working at night...
Though starting in the day
Working up to what I need
I am the one we all know...
Hello hello?
Are bạn there?
Please don't go...
It's not fair...
Um, I just called to say I'm sorry...
I didn't mean to make bạn bloody
We were just making fun,
We didn't know this would happen!
No, please don't be afraid
Let's just play games in the arcade
Just be calm and here
There's nothing to fear...
Listen, I've joined the crew
So I can see what I can do
Please don't have a nightmare
I used to be a favorite
Maybe a little scary
No eyebrows and no cutesy tuft of fur
But a big bow tie and a red guitar
I used to play all day
All the songs for the girls and boys
But now I hear them call my name
While I am locked away
Hidden in the back room
Striped of my life
But not my soul
They took everything from me...
They scrapped me
lấy trộm, đánh cắp my face and
lấy trộm, đánh cắp my arm
And even lấy trộm, đánh cắp my guitar...
They say I'm different
Because they are all the same.
They say I do not belong,
I'm dysfunctional?
"Well bạn don't quite...
Function correctly..."
So I'm broken?
But I feel...fine...
I tried to fit in
Tried to change my tune but
Still they believed...
I don't belong here.
I still don't know
What it is I did
To get put here
Behind this glass
A sign in front says
"Out of order"
Ok, so I've been working this out for about a week now and I think I might be on to something. Can bạn hear me out, and maybe fill in any gaps I didn't see? Please think about it...it may exlain the whole timeline...naturally it also means it's quite long...
So, let's go back to the Nightmare Foxy teaser where we can see the 87 in his eye. I believe this was to represent the brother, not Foxy. The brother is the one who caused the bite, after all, and he wore the Foxy mask. This is the simple part, the tiếp theo part is a bit harder but I just realized the connections and put them...

Social Workers
Median Earnings: $22/hr
Description: Social work is a profession for those with a strong desire to help improve people's lives. Social workers assist people by helping them cope with issues in their everyday lives, deal with their relationships, and solve personal and family problems. Some social workers help clients who face a disability or a life-threatening disease or a social problem, such as inadequate housing, unemployment, or substance abuse. Social workers also assist families that have serious domestic conflicts, sometimes involving child or spousal abuse. Some social workers conduct research, advocate for improved services, engage in systems design or are involved in planning or policy development. Many social workers specialize in serving a particular population or working in a specific setting.
Key Points
• Employment is projected to grow much faster than average.
• About 5 out of 10 jobs were in health care and social assistance industries and 3 in 10 work for State and local government agencies.
• While a bachelor's degree is the minimum requirement, a master's degree in social work or a related field has become the standard for many positions.
• Competition for jobs is expected in cities, but opportunities should be good in rural areas.
Jobs: Social Worker, Client Specialist, Counselor, Outreach Coordinator

- 1 Cache Type and Size
Cache Type and Size
EclipseLink preserves object identity through its cache using the primary key attributes of a persistent entity. These attributes may or may not be assigned through sequencing (see Projects and Sequencing). In a Java application, object identity is preserved if each object in memory is represented by one, and only one, object instance. Multiple retrievals of the same object return references to the same object instance–not multiple copies of the same object.
Maintaining object identity is extremely important when the application's object model contains circular references between objects. You must ensure that the two objects are referencing each other directly, rather than copies of each other. Object identity is important when multiple parts of the application may be modifying the same object simultaneously.
We recommend that you always maintain object identity. Disable object identity only if absolutely necessary, for example, for read-only objects (see Configuring Read-Only Descriptors).
You can configure how object identity is managed on a class-by-class basis. The ClassDescriptor object provides the cache and identity map options described in this table.
Cache and Identity Map Options
|Option (Identity Map)
|Guaranteed Identity
|Memory Use
Very High
Soft Cache Weak Identity Map and Hard Cache Weak Identity Map
For more information, see Guidelines for Configuring the Cache and Identity Maps.
Full Identity Map
This option provides full caching and guaranteed identity: objects are never flushed from memory unless they are deleted.
It caches all objects and does not remove them. Cache size doubles whenever the maximum size is reached. This method may be memory-intensive when many objects are read. Do not use this option on batch operations.
We recommend using this identity map when the data set size is small and memory is in large supply.
Weak Identity Map
This option is similar to the full identity map, except that the map holds the objects by using weak references. This method allows full garbage collection and provides full caching and guaranteed identity.
The weak identity map uses less memory than full identity map but also does not provide a durable caching strategy across client/server transactions. Objects are available for garbage collection when the application no longer references them on the server side (that is, from within the server JVM).
Soft Identity Map
This option is similar to the weak identity map, except that the map uses soft references instead of weak references. This method allows full garbage collection and provides full caching and guaranteed identity.
The soft identity map allows for optimal caching of the objects, while still allowing the JVM to garbage collect the objects if memory is low.
Soft Cache Weak Identity Map and Hard Cache Weak Identity Map
These options are similar to the weak identity map except that they maintain a most frequently used subcache. The subcache uses soft or hard references to ensure that these objects are garbage-collected only if the system is low on memory.
The soft cache weak identity map and hard cache weak identity map provide more efficient memory use. They release objects as they are garbage-collected, except for a fixed number of most recently used objects. Note that weakly cached objects might be flushed if the transaction spans multiple client/server invocations. The size of the subcache is proportional to the size of the identity map as specified by the ClassDescriptor method setIdentityMapSize. You should set this cache size to be as large as the maximum number of objects (of the same type) referenced within a transaction (see Configuring Cache Type and Size at the Descriptor Level).
We recommend using this identity map in most circumstances as a means to control memory used by the cache.
For more information, see What you may need to Know About the Internals of Weak, Soft, and Hard Identity Maps.
No Identity Map
This option does not preserve object identity and does not cache objects.
We do not recommend using the no identity map option. Instead, review the alternatives of cache invalidation and isolated caching.
Guidelines for Configuring the Cache and Identity Maps
You can configure the cache at the project (Configuring Cache Type and Size at the Project Level) or descriptor (Configuring Cache Type and Size at the Descriptor Level) level.
Use the following guidelines when configuring your cache and identity map:
- If objects with a long life span and object identity are important, use a SoftIdentityMap, SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap or HardCacheWeakIdentityMap policy. For more information on when to choose one or the other, see What you may need to Know About the Internals of Weak, Soft, and Hard Identity Maps.
- If object identity is important, but caching is not, use a WeakIdentityMap policy.
- If an object has a long life span or requires frequent access, or object identity is important, use a FullIdentityMap policy.
WARNING: Use the FullIdentityMap only if the class has a small number of finite instances. Otherwise, a memory leak will occur.
- If an object has a short life span or requires frequent access, and identity is not important, use a CacheIdentityMap policy.
- If objects are discarded immediately after being read from the database, such as in a batch operation, use a NoIdentityMap policy. The NoIdentityMap does not preserve object identity.
What You May Need to Know About the Internals of Weak, Soft, and Hard Identity Maps
The WeakIdentiyMap and SoftIdentityMap use JVM weak and soft references to ensure that any object referenced by the application is held in the cache. Once the application releases its' reference to the object, the JVM is free to garbage collection the objects. When a weak and soft reference is garbage collected - is determined by the JVM. In general one could expect a weak reference to be garbage collected on each JVM garbage collector, and a soft reference to be garbage collected when the JVM determines memory is low.
The SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap and HardCacheWeakIdentityMap types of identity map contain the following two caches:
- Reference cache: implemented as a LinkedList that contains soft or hard references, respectively.
- Weak cache: implemented as a HashMap that contains weak references.
When you create a SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap or HardCacheWeakIdentityMap with a specified size, the reference cache LinkedList is exactly this size. The weak cache HashMap is initialized to 100 percent of the specified size: the weak cache will grow when more objects than the specified size are read in. Because EclipseLink does not control garbage collection, the JVM can reap the weakly held objects whenever it sees fit.
Because the reference cache is implemented as a LinkedList, new objects are added to the end of the list. Because of this, it is by nature a least recently used (LRU) cache: fixed size, object at the top of the list is deleted, provided the maximum size has been reached.
The SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap and HardCacheWeakIdentityMap are essentially the same type of identity map. The HardCacheWeakIdentityMap was constructed to work around an issue with some JVMs.
If your application reaches a low system memory condition frequently enough, or if your platform's JVM treats weak and soft references the same, the objects in the reference cache may be garbage-collected so often that you will not benefit from the performance improvement provided by it. If this is the case, we recommend that you use the HardCacheWeakIdentityMap. It is identical to the SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap except that it uses hard references in the reference cache. This guarantees that your application will benefit from the performance improvement provided by it.
When an object in a HardCacheWeakIdentityMap or SoftCacheWeakIdentityMap is pushed out of the reference cache, it gets put in the weak cache. Although it is still cached, EclipseLink cannot guarantee that it will be there for any length of time because the JVM can decide to garbage-collect weak references at anytime.

|Celiac friendly
Starbucks has a few prepackaged items that are celiac safe, like their sopressata pack, their chip-like snacks, and a few breakfast items. Their coffee has always been good, as well.
Kentucky Oaks Mall, 5101 Hinkleville Rd #550, Paducah, KY 42001
Staff is very knowledge about gluten free. The egg bites in all different flavors are gluten free. You can get coffees made to order and they will use almond, coconut, or soy milk as an alternative. Some of their packaged snack items are gluten free like kind bars.
613 Queen St, Southington, CT 06489
No gluten free options. Don't go here.
815 Canyon Del Rey Blvd, Del Rey Oaks, CA 93940
Sadly the gluten free breakfast sandwiches have been discontinued! We will have to stick with just the drinks.
599 N Greenbush Rd, Rensselaer, NY 12144
EDIT MAY 26 2018: I've been here twice since the announcement and they still have the Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich. Not sure when they will run out though. ——— EDIT MAY 2018: Gluten free breakfast sandwich discontinued. Thanks for nothing Starbucks. ———- Original review below- ——— Starbucks has a new gluten free breakfast sandwich, which is made in a certified GF space. What you get is pretty much a ham/egg/cheese tiny sandwich sealed up in a steam pouch of some kind. I believe Chuck E. Cheese does this same thing with personal pizzas. So you can be assured it's safe for people with celiac. They probably just throw it in the microwave, but it's kind of tasty. I can't it Dunkin Donuts breakfast items so I don't have much to compare it to, but from my perspective it's on par with a frozen Udi's breakfast sandwich. Good when you need something on the go, but not amazing. You can buy a box of the Udi's for less money.
1300 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX 76102
They never had there gluten free breakfast sandwich so I was never able to eat there.

299 2nd St, San Francisco, CA 94105
I just discovered the gluten free breakfast sandwich at Starbucks, which is heated in the package to prevent cross contamination. Not all locations carry it, but this one does.
|Celiac friendly
Ive been to the LaPorte store several times since opening in Dec. Not having been a Starbucks regular, I found staff to be kind and accommodating in answering my questions and helping me not be cross contaminated. They've even been patient with my son who only likes certain things. I'm sure whatever they made him was an off menu item based on what he wanted in it--and he loved it!Im told sometimes they have gf sandwiches (that are sealed), but I've yet to get my hands on one. I have noticed snack items, chips, prepacked gf cookies, etc for purchase off rack, and food pack option that includes cheese, grapes, and hard boiled eggs for on the go so they do seem to try to cater to the gf crowd some.

277 Perry Pkwy, Perry, GA 31069
Most Starbucks now offer gluten free breakfast sandwiches and a selection of gluten free packaged snacks. This one not only did not have anything, they were rude about it. I've never experienced a rude Starbucks until now. My daughter was inconsolable, and hungry!
1246 N Bridge St, Yorkville, IL 60560
Starbucks now oilers a breakfast sandwich that is certified gluten free. Bacon egg and cheese in gf bun. It was delicious
1300 Houston St, Fort Worth, TX 76102
Gluten free breakfast sandwich with egg, canadian bacon, and cheese. Sandwich is certified gluten free and remains sealed while they handle out and warm it to prevent cc.

|Celiac friendly
11 Dorrance St, Providence, RI 02903
Starbucks now has a GF prepackaged breakfast sandwich—egg patty, uncured Canadian bacon, & cheese on GF English muffin-like bread. No chance of contamination as it is sealed. It was ok, hot and better than settling for something w/o bread at nearby restaurants. Good to know also for airports! Thank you Starbucks!
1499 W Main St, Salem, VA 24153
Adding Starbucks for their breakfast options.
15071 Newport Ave, Tustin, CA 92780
breakfast on the run..starbucks has gluten free egg sandwhich.
4001 Midland Dr, Midland, TX 79707
Now offer a gluten free breakfast sandwich that is prepackaged and warmed inside the package to avoid cross contamination. Bread was quite cardboard-like, but am glad they have an option!
|Celiac friendly
2900 Monroe Ave, Rochester, NY 14618
Have a Certified GF breakfast sandwich that is contained in its own package when heating up so NO cross contamination occurs!! Very yummy- I was happy with it. They also have some chip and other unique packaged GF snacks. Also their Starbucks made GF marshmallow rice crispy treat that I did not feel sick from and it was amazing! Highly recommend for breakfast or quick snack.
|Celiac friendly
240 Peachtree St NW, Atlanta, GA 30303
Their gluten free smoked Canadian breakfast sandwiches are individually wrapped perfect for someone with celiacs. They are really good. nice compliment to whichever of their many gluten free drink items you want.
Tank Destroyer Blvd & Clear Creek Rd, Killeen, TX 76544
Always an option. In the small px.
|Celiac friendly
1275 York Rd, Gettysburg, PA 17325
Starbucks now offers a gluten free smoked Canadian bacon breakfast sandwich. Really delicious!
1396 Lincoln Ave, San Jose, CA 95125
Customer service is a hit or miss at this location, however I like that I can bring my pup as there is outdoor seating and I like the convenience of ordering and paying through the Starbucks app. Finally decided to try Certified Gluten Free Breakfast Sandwich after speaking with the staff about how it is prepared. While the use separate tongs and the sandwich is sealed, they use the same counter space and oven lined with oven paper as their non gf items and expressly say they cannot guarantee safety. Once it was heated, they placed the still sealed sandwich in a pastry bag. I opened the bag carefully, however I did still worry they could be crumbs on package. The sandwich itself was a standard breakfast sandwich with the expected chewy, density from most gf muffins, but it was nice to finally get to eat something prepared at Starbucks. I paired it with a decaf Americano. Not entirely safe but I had no issues, reactions or illness, and plan on having another sandwich at this particular location in the future.

43114 Peacock Market Plaza, South Riding, VA 20152
Awesome if you've never been I suggest it. They have a gluten free sandwich that is packaged by itself and many more snacks and drinks.

790 Chief Justice Cushing Hwy, Cohasset, MA 02025
I have celiac, and have always loved going here! Staff is very knowledgeable, and will either rinse out the containers that they use to make your drink or use a whole new one if asked. GF breakfast sandwich is also delicious!
60 Smithfield Blvd, Plattsburgh, NY 12901
They have a really great gluten free breakfast sandwich that is already pre wrapped in a package so it isn't cross contaminated. Really yum!
1 International Pl, Boston, MA 02110
It's cooked in the bag. It's fine. Tastes good. Rice Krispie treats are gf and most of the snacks are. (Chick pea puffs, fruit, fruit snacks, etc)

I had the GF breakfast sandwich. It is prepared in a completely sealed bag and protected from any cross contamination. The staff was very knowledgeable about celiacs and understood how to handle.
38 Bangor Mall Blvd, Bangor, ME 04401
Always enjoy a stop at Starbucks for morning coffee and scones while traveling; however, since hubby was diagnosed with Celiac we no longer visited. Thanks to the previous reviewer we can once again have our morning coffee at Starbucks. Hubby had the GF breakfast sandwich and I can enjoy my morning scone. Definitely recommend-now to check others locations on our trip.

Friendliest Starbucks that I have ever visited. Had a delicious GF coffee drink, but the service was the best part. Unbelievable!!
35825 Detroit Ave, Avon, OH 44011
The gluten free breakfast sandwiches were removed from their sealed bags before they were served to us. Yikes! The whole point of these sandwiches is that they are in a sealed bag. When my husband brought them back up to the counter, the girl was pleasant, but could not grasp the concept of what he was saying. When he said that they were supposed to stay in the sealed bag she said, "You mean you don't want them cooked?" She did point out that she used gluten free tongs and showed him the gluten free area, but she didn't understand the concept. Finally another worker said, "Never take them out of the bag!" They gave us a safe sandwich after that. Just be alert here because it seems their GF training isn't consistent.

not dedicated GF kitchen so not great for celiac but might be ok if you have NCGS. they have a couple wheat/gluten free salads in the front, but if you ask they also have a "certified" gf breakfast sandwich (bun egg meat) which isn't awful. but also not listed on the menu in the front anywhere.

Starbucks recently debuted the gluten free breakfast sandwiches. They are very good in my opinion and they make them safely in a sealed bag when toasting them and give them to you in the bag so they are safe. Only giving four stars because they are pricey and I'm waiting for more gluten free options to come out.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Israel is often portrayed, even from within, as racist and hateful toward Arabs. Naturally, there couldn't be any Arabs serving in the Israeli army, and certainly none proudly doing so.
Not so! The reality is that many thousands of Arabs and Arabic-speakers are not only Israeli soldiers, but outspoken advocates of both the IDF and the Jewish state they serve.
One of the Facebook pages for Arabs in the Israeli army posted a video interview this week with a young Mona Lisa Abdo, a young Israeli Arab Christian who recently completed her IDF service.
The video is in Arabic, so most of our readers won't understand the narration or dialogue, but it remains a powerful rebuttal of all who claim that Israel is a racist, apartheid or otherwise discriminatory nation.
The Arabic intro text posted to Facebook along with the video read:
"Flashes of our Military: Mona Lisa Abdo - Mona Lisa tells us her unique story that deserves our respect and appreciation. Young Mona Lisa...volunteered to serve in the IDF, even though by law Israeli Christians are not conscripted. Mona Lisa not only volunteered for service, but struggled to join an infantry combat unit. Last week, she successfully completed her military service. We appreciate you Mona Lisa! You are a role model for us all."
The video received numerous comments and remarks, most of them hostile. But the comment section was also notable for the not-insignificant number of replies by Israeli Arabs, writing in Hebrew, encouraging Mona Lisa to pay the haters no heed.

In the book "Recurrence in Ergodic Theory and Combinatorial Number Theory", 1981, Furstenberg introduced the notion of central sets.
He proved in Theorem 8.8 that in each finite partition of $\mathbb{N}$, $\mathbb{N}=B_1 \cup B_2 \cup \dots \cup B_q$ one of the sets $B_j$ contains a central set. Then he states without proof that the same is true for partitions of central sets and that one can prove this "along the same lines" as Theorem 8.8 (p. 163).
I know that this fact follows immediately from the characterization of central sets by minimal idempotent ultrafilters. However, this is obviously not the proof that Furstenberg had in mind 1981 as this characterization was not available then. Thus my question:
How can one prove in the fashion of Theorem 8.8, i.e. using only tools recurrence in dynamical systems, that for each finite partition of a central set $S$, $S=B_1 \cup B_2 \cup \dots \cup B_q$ one of the $B_j$ contains a set that is again central?
For the sake of reference I include the necessary definitions and the proof of Theorem 8.8 below.
Let $(X,T)$ be a dynamical system. $x_1,x_2\in X$ are proximal if for some sequence $n_k\to \infty$, $d(T^{n_k}x_1,T^{n_k}x_2) \to 0$. A point $x\in X$ is called uniformly recurrent if for each neighborhood $U$of $x$, the sequence of values $n_1 < n_2 < \dots$, for which $T^{n_k}x\in U$, satisfies that $\{ n_{k+1}-n_k \}$ is bounded.
As set $S$ is called central if there is a $x,y\in X$ and a neighborhood $U$ of $y$ such that $y$ is uniformly recurrent and proximal to $x$ and $S=\{ n : T^nx\in U \}$.
The only tools we need for the proof Theorem 8.8 is then the Auslander-Ellis Theorem (Theorem 8.7) which reads as follows. If $(X,T)$ is a dynamical system an $X$ is compact. Then every point $x$ in $X$ is proximal to a uniformly recurrent point.
Proof of Theorem 8.8:
Consider the dynamical system with $(\Omega,T)$ with $\Omega =\{ 1, \dots, q \}^\mathbb{Z}$ and $T$ the shift $T\omega(n)=\omega(n+1)$. Let $\xi\in\Omega$ be a point with $\xi(n)=i$ implies $n\in B_i$ for $n\in\mathbb{N}$.
Let now $\eta\in\Omega$ be a uniformly recurrent point proximal to $\xi$. This point exists by the Auslander-Ellis Theorem. Let $j=\eta(0)$ and set $U=\{ \omega : \omega(0)=j \}$ and let $S=\{n: T^n\xi\in U \}$. Clearly $S$ is central and if $n\in S$ then $\xi(n)=T^n\xi(0)=j$, so that $n\in B_j$ and thus $S\subseteq B_j$.

Reflection (John Baker)
Time for reflection. Up in the air, somewhere between DC and San Francisco, on the last leg of a twenty four hour travel day… As I look back on this experience, the people I've met and the things I've seen, I am overwhelmed with different emotions. It makes me want to live my life in a much more aggressive and proactive fashion. One can only hear someone say, "When I get out of here and go back home I am going to…" so many times with out feeling guilty. I am home. I am "out of here". I feel a renewed sense of responsibility to seize life, to make the most of each day because each day of freedom is a gift. Our freedom is protected everyday by our armed forces, take away their power, and we as a nation are powerless. Take away their courage, and we will (and SHOULD) be scared. I feel that I have been generally unaware in the past, not in tune to what is really happening in our nation and around the world. I feel embarrassed in my aloof attitude towards our military affairs and global policies, but vow to become more educated and in tune. I would be lying if I didn't mention that a few times I looked around and thought "what the hell are we doing here?" I wondered why it is OUR men and women that stand guard at the Iraq and Iran border. How come OUR Marine Corps has to guard the IA General, what is wrong with the IA? But then I talked with the people there and it all became clear. I remembered what we stand for as a country, united against tyranny in our infancy and obligated to protect the weak as we have grown powerful. Not obligated by law, but obligated by our nature as Americans. Many may argue that we shouldn't be in Iraq at all, but I will say that the overwhelming response from the Iraqis I met is that their country is in a much better place now, than it was ten years ago. They seem very grateful for our help and guidance. Our service members don't want our pity for their difficult situation, they want our support. They chose their careers. Another interesting aspect is the sense of team and teamwork. Everyone is united in the same goal, everyone works together. They are the type of people that cannot accept a personal compliment. Every time I received positive feed back, it sounded like this, "What you are doing, just being here, really means a lot to these guys, they really appreciate it." Never once did people say it in an individual way, they are too tough to admit to something like that. They care more about the man standing next to them than they do about themselves. This sentiment was expressed by the lowest of the enlisted and the highest of the officers that we met. This sentiment moved seamlessly throughout each individual branch and unified our entire armed forces. These people risk their lives to protect our country and our interests without regret. They are my heroes. The next time you see a veteran, do your part to say thank you, regardless if you believe in our government's politics or motivations for being in any conflict. These soldiers are real people that make a big sacrifice for us, never forget that. I never will.

I EXPECTED Gary Robbins to make it a tough course, and he EXCEEDED expectations!
9000ft (2700 m) Up/ 9500ft (2900m) down , and like, 98% technical trail, and in 30 degree heat.
= CONQUERING a new level of discomfort!!!!
= CONQUERING a new level of discomfort!!!!
Race summarized by my thoughts:
Start: " My calf is cramping already? Gotta slow down"
.... " Is that an old lady and her grandchildren passing me?"
9 Km: " oh GOOD, a hill, I can powerhike and maybe get the feeling back into my foot"
13 km (and 800 m, 2600 ft up): "when will the hill stop !!, I'm STILL going up ! Up, up, up "
14 km: " Yaaay Down !!!"... Yaay, wa hoooo... hooo. hooooo..., "
20 km: "yoo hooo! hoo..oooh, OK, still going down here..still down...more down will it ever end?"
"Achilles is going to snap off anytime now. I'll pull out at 23 km aid station.
Good idea. I'm a Physio, I know its the smart thing to do. "
25 km: " why am I still running? , IDIOT"
.... Oh yeah, THIS IS why ( Pic below ) I want to see more!
26 km: "Its freakin' HOT up this hill ! "I... don't...feel...so..good...better eat "
" Bar?- ugh!, try a gel?-double ugh!thank god for Carbopro or I'd fall over"
"what, bra chaffing too? , and why are my socks falling off? anything else?" Bring it !
28 km: "This hill looked much easier in the elevation profile"
"Thats it, I think I've passed out and I'm in a nightmare of neverending switchbacks"
30 km: "Finally, downhill to the next aid station, I'll pull out the lube for the chaffing.
but my inner monkey kicked in and I grabbed a tree mid-air and 180 swing myself back onto the trail! Impressed with myself, Feelin' pretty cool at that point, but knowing my shoulder is gonna hurt later.
33 km: " That was the longest 5 miles I've ever ran in my life" (between 15-20 mi aid stn, 400 m up)
" Soo HOT in the back valley here! The sun is relentless, not even a breeze-thats it! I'm
- I could wring the sweat out of my shirt at this point, just drenched!
-My ears clogged up and it felt like I was running in a tunnell, ...and I find out later this is due to decreased blood volume(dehydration) affecting the inner ear fluid.http://www.livestrong.com/article/494974-signs-of-dehydration-in-the-ears-while-running-sweating-during-ironman/ K, duh, drink more! but I was already drinking almost double normal and was afraid of that old hyponatremia fear... Still learning obviously.
34 km:
" what? ANOTHER HILL ? Gary Robbins (course designer) is a Very Very BAAAD MAN". Nice guy, but starting to think he is a SADIST!" Oh, look how sweet and happy he looks in this pic on race day... but if you look DEEPER, there is a Glimmer of evil in those eyes.
Only those who run his races, truly know that glimmer.
43 km: " Quads cramping BAD... but they look kinda cool
.... really muscular...wish I took a pic. "
But it FELT like they looked like this ----------->>>>
44 km: " I thought we DESCEND into Squamish, why am I STILL going UPHILL? "
" I got Nothing, I'm walking up the hills"
- Looking at my splits, this last 10km was super slow. I guess the heat/cramping got to me and 'the wheels fell off ' at 40 km. Could only march up the hills, even walked some flats. Ran out of Drive.
46 km: "Finally, Down to the finish"
49 km: (on the road, into town) " Thats it, I've lost interest, its too hot,
I'm going to DNF now"(joking)
So, I start walking, then Mr. Jason Louttit (amazing runner) see's me walking, gives me crap and says 'its only 400 m away, run it " Fine, I ran it in, only cuz he told me to.
I felt like the 'running gods' threw the book at me this race. So many running issues I never experienced before ALL happened on this day. Maybe it was the 30 deg heat, the tough course, or maybe just a bad day for me. In the end with my 8 hour finish time was my slowest 50 km time ever,I should be mad, strangely, I'm very pleased with a new milestone: overcoming pain, nausea, cramping etc. I've done several 50 kms, but this one is the first to really PUSH my limits, really, thinking " I can't go anymore" ... but I did, I FINISHED !!! and learned so much!
Kudo's to the Race directors of Squamish 50, if it wasn't for their great organization, aid stations/volunteers, and beauty views to keep me going, I probably would not have finished the super challenging, technical course they presented.
-You'll conquer a new level of 'discomfort'
- You will be challenged! your limits will be pushed!
-Fabulous trail markings... you will NOT get lost
-Amazing view's
-Great Race directors, they have it ALL covered.
-Excellent aid stations. Even a suprise Freezie station!Loved the freezie guy.
-Beer gardens at the finish.
-Nice Swag bags
-Meal ticket at the finish line .

So, if you're in for a Sadistic, Punishing,Challenging 50 km, where you're safely taken care of, sign up for this next year: August 9, 10, 11 for 25 km/50km/50 mile... or all 3!

As I get more pics of the race, I'll add them. I tried to add Mr. Robbin's athlete site, but it appears to have been hacked, will try later.


text: I have a situation where I want to mark certain locations on the map and identify them using fiends from a large database we are using. I know there are probably many different ways to do that, but I am looking for advise as to what might be preferable. For example, I would probably like to have small rectangles or polygons identify the points each in a different color depending on the database contents, and possibly also using some alphanumerics from the database to label the points. I am guessing I may eventually have up to 10,000 points or so, if that makes a difference.
