A 29-year-old man is in fair condition after falling from an escalator during Thursday night's game between the Cardinals and Broncos in Denver.
According to KDVR-TV, Noel Robinson fell roughly 10 feet. Originally, it was feared that he had fallen a greater distance and in turn sustained more serious injuries.
Denver police determined the fall to be accidental.
Robinson was taken to a local hospital. He was conscious and talking.
"We are aware of an accident involving a patron falling from an escalator during the fourth quarter of tonight's game at Sports Authority Field at Mile High," the stadium management company said in a statement. "The victim was taken to an area hospital by Denver paramedics, and Stadium Management Company is working with authorities to gather more information about this incident."
The outcome could have been much worse for Robinson. Whatever the cause of these types of incidents at baseball and football stadiums, they happen too often.

The healing power that animal-assisted therapy offers is astounding, and supporting causes that facilitate human-animal interaction is very important to us at Pfizer.
Madison, NJ (PRWEB) November 09, 2012
For the second consecutive year, Pfizer Animal Health sponsored the Therapy Dog category at the American Human Association's Hero Dog Awards™. This year's category finalist, Stella, a licensed therapy dog, was among eight finalists honored during the event in Beverly Hills, California. Stella dedicates her time to bringing love and joy to developmentally disabled adults and children residing at not-for-profit Richmond Community Services in New York.
Through Pfizer's sponsorship, Stella and her team received $5,000 to donate to Angel On A Leash, a unique organization that supports therapy dogs working in health care facilities, schools, rehabilitation, hospice, extended care, correctional facilities, and crisis intervention. Through advocacy, education, research and service, Angel On A Leash promotes the role of the human-animal bond in enhancing human health and quality of life.
"Seeing the positive impact that Stella's presence has on the residents of Richmond Community Services has been truly heartwarming," said Stella's guardian Marissa Levy. "I am thankful that the Hero Dog Awards and Pfizer's sponsorship are going to allow for more people to have the opportunity to interact with therapy dogs like Stella."
As a company dedicated to the health and wellness of animals, Pfizer Animal Health has taken an active role in supporting research and causes that highlight and support the human-animal bond. Recently, Pfizer Animal Health collaborated with the American Humane Association on a comprehensive literature review to affirm the specific medical, behavioral, and mental health benefits animal-assisted therapy (AAT) may have for children with cancer and their families.
"The healing power that animal-assisted therapy offers is astounding, and supporting causes that facilitate human-animal interaction is very important to us at Pfizer," said Vanessa Mariani, Director of Academic and Professional Affairs, U.S. Operations at Pfizer Animal Health. "We stand behind events like the American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards that help to spotlight the power of AAT and increase the reach of its impact."
The sponsorship is a part of Pfizer Animal Health's Commitment to Veterinarians™ platform—which offers support through training and education, research and development, investing in the future of the veterinary profession, and philanthropy. Pfizer Animal Health previously demonstrated its commitment to this particular research with a grant to AHA in 2011.

The American Humane Association Hero Dog Awards™
Now in its second year, the Hero Dog Awards competition searches out and recognizes America's Hero Dogs – often ordinary dogs who do extraordinary things, whether it's saving lives on the battlefield, lending sight or hearing to a human companion, or simply the tail-wagging welcome a pet owner relishes at the end of a hard day. Dogs compete in eight categories for the Hero Dog Awards: Law Enforcement & Arson Dogs, Service Dogs, Therapy Dogs, Military Dogs, Guide Dogs, Search and Rescue Dogs, Hearing Dogs and Emerging Hero Dogs (the category for "ordinary" dogs).

Suffolk Honored at Digital Education Achievement Awards
Suffolk University received honorable mention at the e.Republic's Center for Digital Education's 2012 Digital Education Achievement Awards.
Each year, the Center recognizes schools that implement new technology to enhance online education. This year, Suffolk University was honored for its CourseCast initiative.
CourseCast, which first launched at the Sawyer Business School, is an innovative software that allows professors to record and post their lectures online. It can capture any combination of audio and video recording, as well as PowerPoint presentations and other computer programs.
"It adapts to the teaching style of the faculty member and the learning style of the student. It's another tool that a faculty member or student can use for their own learning or teaching style," said Praneeth Machettira, director of the Office of Technology Management at Sawyer Business School.
As one of the first universities to get on board with the software, Suffolk began working with CourseCast in 2008, helping to expand the base technology by developing a few additional functionalities and features before going live with the product in 2009.
"We are proud for the University to get this award, but I think most of the praise should go to the initial faculty members who jumped on board to use the technology. I think this should be looked at as a win for the faculty and the students. Certainly, yes, the University got the award. We played a role in it, but it's being used successfully and that's what we're proud of," Machettira said.

HR Confidential: What do you do when you're ready to grow with nowhere to go?
Humans are complicated, but the resourcing of humans doesn't have to be. Looking for managerial or career advice? All sources will be kept confidential. Email your questions to Heather Krentler at firstname.lastname@example.com or call our advice line at 313-327-2209.
Q: I'm ready for a promotion, but there's nowhere for me to go within my company and I don't want to leave. What can I do?
Don't give up right away. First, talk to your manager and get creative. Sometimes, it's a magic wand hovering over your existing seat and turning it into something new. Sometimes, you have to make a lateral move to make an upward move. And sometimes, it's just not the right fit anymore—and it's time to exit gracefully.

The Obama administration is shattering all records for spending in its first year:
In fiscal 2009 the federal government spent $3.52 trillion — $2.8 trillion in 2000 dollars, which sets a benchmark for comparison. … [C]ompared with other presidents' first years in office, Obama is running circles around them.
Bush spent $1.8 trillion in 2001, according to government budget figures that have been adjusted for inflation based on 2000 dollars. Using the same formula, former President Bill Clinton spent $1.6 trillion in 1993.
The last president to clock in under $1 trillion was Gerald Ford, who logged a $982 billion budget in 1975. Post-war Dwight Eisenhower even brought Uncle Sam's tab down to $556 billion in his first year, 1953.
Obama's first-year budget, adjusted for inflation, is about five times that.
It's a good thing the era of big government is over!

Ben Silbermann is the CEO and visionary cofounder behind Pinterest, which grew from 5,000 users in August 2010 to 17 million this month.
With Instagram off the market following a $1 billion sale to Facebook, Pinterest is now the hot social startup in Silicon Valley. Investors are beating down its door, hoping to fund the company and ride it to a multi-billion dollar exit.
Earlier this year, Silbermann gave the keynote speech at the Alt Summit 2012 in Salt Lake City, Utah. The 45 minute talk was all about how he abandoned his long held plans to become a doctor, founded Pinterest during the recession, survived early failures, and built a company for the long-run.
Silbermann used slides to illustrate his story. We've got them and a few more here.

Hello all, hope this finds you doing well this rainy week in June (at least in Texas). 🙂 This week I am spotlighting the color challenge hosted by Ivonne of Craft-tastrophic Designs. Ivonne has picked out a really funky, retro color palette for you to scrap with this month and it's definitely 70s-inspired; check it out:
I am loving the teal and orange combo! It's a great palette for scrapping all those masculine layouts that you still want to have a pop of bright color in. If you want a little inspiration, take a look at some of the layouts the forum ladies have already created for this challenge:
By chigirl
By gethane
By emscraps
Love these layouts! We've got so many kits in the store that have a touch of this color palette…including this month's buffet! Check out these layout credits in the gallery if you're curious which kit was used. 🙂 There;s only two more weeks left in June (WOW!), so make sure you're keeping track of your completed challenges in the June 2013 Challenge Tracking thread so you can get a shiny new reward for all your hard work come next month. 🙂
That's it for today! Y'all have a great week and I'll see you back here next Tuesday for the last challenge spotlight of the month. 🙂

In Today's Edition of "Who Dressed Him?!": Who Wore It Better?
Deron and Kobe showed up for Game 4 in what appeared to be, at first glance, matching outfits.
Upon closer look, there are so many ways that Deron's outfit wins.
1. Jeans > Shiny navy satin pants. Especially on men. And especially on men who don't live in the 80s.
1a. Jeans that are the right length on the wearer > Shiny navy satin pants that are too long.
2. Leather jacket (which is an actual jacket) > Velour zipup with off-center zipper and leather sleeves masquerading as leather jacket (I realize the off-center zipper could be a design thing, but in this case the garment in question looks like a factory reject with a cut-up tag purchased at an outlet store somewhere in Asia).
3. As has been covered on this site already, only d-bags wear shades indoors.
Much like Game 4, this one was not a close contest. (Too soon?)
Edit: C points out one more way Deron's outfit wins–Kobe appears to still have his photoshoot outfit on underneath his faux leather jacket.

Isle of Skye II, Scotland - 16" x 20" print
Isle of Skye II, Scotland - 16" x 20" print
Isle of Skye II, Scotland - 16" x 20" print
Isle of Skye, Scotland.
16" x 20" print size.
Photo may be cropped slightly to fit print area. For additional print sizes and pricing, please contact me directly.
The printing process I use is known as 'Pigment on Cotton', 'Pigment on Rag' or 'Giclee Prints'. Pigments on cotton rag papers have proven to be highly archival (consider for example Rembrandt's etchings - they were made using pigment inks on cotton papers). These prints have been independently assessed as archival, with a lifespan ranging from 100 to many hundreds of years in proper storage.
I use what I consider the finest photographic printing lab in Australia and they were the first lab in Australia to be certified by both Hahnemühle and Ilford as fine art printing experts.
There are several types of paper I can use to print but I prefer to use Ilford Galerie Gold Fibre Gloss (310gsm – Semi-gloss – Smooth – Natural White – 100% Cotton) as it is a classic darkroom style paper with the aesthetic and feel of the original F-Type Baryta Fibre paper and contains no optical brighteners.
Shipping free worldwide.
I ensure each print is visually inspected and checked for faults, however please be aware that fine art gallery quality prints are a hand-made process and as such very small imperfections are possible (and personally I think they add to not detract from the artwork).
If there is an error and the wrong print has been sent, send it back and i will either send the correct one or refund your purchase.
Payment must be received and cleared prior to shipment.
I usually ship within 10 working days of purchase. Fine art gallery quality prints take more time to produce and so I like to say 10 working days to ensure that I am happy with the quality and presentation of each print that is sent.
I use Australia Post for mailing prints. Prints are sent in a high-quality artwork mailing tube.
International Shipping:
Import duties, taxes and customs are the responsibility of the buyer. I recommend contacting your country's customs service before purchasing if you have any questions about that.
I cannot guarantee exact dates of delivery for international mail. Each country's postal service processing times for delivery can vary quite a lot.
I use this Australia Post service for mailing parcels internationally
They state:
- Reliable delivery within 3 to 10 business days* (not guaranteed)
- A unique code that tracks your parcel along its journey
- Free Air Mail return for undelivered items
- Proof of posting (ensures that if you sell an item via the PayPal online payment - gateway, you qualify for PayPal seller protection)
- Extra Cover up to $500 available to certain countries


text: Home- Academics- Departments and Programs- Peace and Conflict Studies- Off-Campus Study Menu Menu Off-Campus Learning The Peace and Conflict Studies Program strongly encourages our students to travel and study abroad during their time at Colgate to broaden their perspective on global issues. Off-Campus Study in Peace and Conflict Studies Peace and Conflict Studies (PCON) students can expand the scope of their on-campus academic experiences by studying off campus. PCON students can pursue a semester studying off campus with Colgate's own study groups (led by a Colgate professor) or as part of a Colgate-approved study group run by a non-Colgate provider. Many Colgate courses also offer extended study opportunities, where students spend a few weeks traveling after the end of a semester of on-campus study. PCON faculty work closely with our majors and minors to help each student choose the off-campus study experiences most relevant to their Level 3 Geographic Area. Many PCON students find their off-campus study provides immersive learning, field experience, and ideas on which to base their senior seminar and honors projects. PCON students should begin planning off-campus study at the same time they begin thinking about declaring their major; students should work with their PCON faculty advisors and the Office of Off-Campus Study to explore off-campus study opportunities and to coordinate them with their overall intellectual and career goals. PCON Credit for Off-Campus Study PCON majors are allowed to transfer a maximum of two relevant courses from a Colgate or Colgate-approved off-campus study group. PCON minors may transfer one course. Typically, PCON allows transfer credit only for elective courses; students are not allowed to fulfill required introductory or senior seminar courses through off-campus study. Ultimately, students are responsible for making sure that off-campus study courses fulfill PCON major or minor requirements. Your faculty advisor can provide feedback on possible course choices and how those may fulfill PCON requirements. If your plans for off-campus study change, make sure to keep your PCON faculty advisor informed about those changes, so that he or she may advise you about the best opportunities.

Massa glad Ferrari axe led to Williams
Felipe Massa says he is "glad" Ferrari dumped him at the end of last year.
The Brazilian drove for the fabled Maranello team between 2006 and 2013, racing alongside highly-rated champions Michael Schumacher, Kimi Raikkonen and Fernando Alonso.
But Ferrari chose to sign the returning 2007 title winner Raikkonen for this year, with Massa now insisting he is not surprised the Finn is struggling alongside Spaniard Alonso.
Massa told Germany's Auto Bild he thinks Raikkonen is "maybe not quite as good" as Alonso.
In fact, the 33-year-old said he had the measure of the 'iceman'.
"In 2007 he was champion, but until Monza I was ahead of him," said Massa, recalling his battle with Raikkonen some seven years ago.
"Unfortunately, in our team we had an agreement that Monza would decide who is the number 1, and I was ahead of Kimi when I had a problem with my car.
"In 2008 I was in front of him," Massa added, "and also up until my accident in Hungary in 2009. Nevertheless, Kimi is world champion, and I'm not."
However, Massa insists he has no regrets about losing his Ferrari seat for 2014 and moving to Williams.
"It was absolutely the right move," he told Germany's Sport Bild.
"Looking back now, I am even glad that Ferrari did not want me because it opened the way for coming to Williams.
"I'm pretty relaxed, motivated, the team respects me," Massa explained. "You know, sometimes a change is good.
"I'm older but I feel young again. I'm ready to fight and work hard. I regret nothing," he added.
Massa also admitted that he doesn't miss the ultra high-pressure of wearing a red suit.
"Absolutely not!" he exclaimed. "At Ferrari it was huge -- if you don't win, you have a big load on your shoulders.
"You try to use it as positive energy, but you are constantly tense.
"Here at Williams I think only about the racing, which is better," said Massa.

HomepageI'm currently very busy with the offical game homepage. I'm programming it with C++. How cool is that? :D It will contain a forum, a blog, and probably an item and monster database. The homepage isn't done yet, but I'll keep you up-to date in this blog.
MultiplayerThere's a separate server application and everyone will be able to host his own server. It's currently Windows-only but a Linux port should be no problem because it has basically no dependencies except Winsock. I'm also planning to include an in-game server browser which allows you to easily connect to different servers from the client. Of course, you can also play completely offline.
Release?I know many of you want me to release the game in its current state. This might work for a sandbox game but it doesn't work well for an action RPG like Cube World. We still need to add things like a start screen, menues, save slots and character creation, more content and need to finish the homepage. I don't know how long this will take but we're doing our best to finish everything as soon as possible.
New FeaturesToday we had a funny three-player online multiplayer session. I made some screenshots and will use them to illustrate a few new features that we've added so far.
As you can see there is now a chat window in the lower left. In the screenshots we use cheating commands to change our names. There's also a /level command which allows you to reach any desired level. :P Of course I'll remove that in the final game. :)
Let's go exploring! Look, there's a new pet.
I hope you like my moustache. :P
There are now land name captions which fade in and out whenever you enter a different land.
You can now also crouch (see Pixxie in the background). When crouching you can sneak past enemies and also climb walls.
Streets sometimes have streetlights. You'll probably find a village when you follow a street.
Some impressions from our exploration....
We found a village. Each village has shops, inns and towers...
There is a sage in each tower which can identify things for you.
There are different kinds of shops: item shops, weapon shops and armor shops.
Each shop has a different range of products. The bow in the screenshot has rarity level 1. The maximum rarity level is 4 but you'll get such rare items only from rare bosses.
Let's go on. And yes, you can have even slimes as pet!
I added a few new quest types. Here's a typical "find someone" quest.
That was easy. :)
Oh no, those witches are really dangerous.
The fire beams are rather harmless but the fireballs are deadly!
That's all I have to show for now, see ya. :)

There may be talk of frost on the pumpkin this weekend, but the Lipscomb Lady Bisons softball team is going to get a preview of what spring may bring.
When the Lady Bisons hit the field Sunday afternoon for a 1 p.m. doubleheader at Middle Tennessee State in Murfreesboro coach Kristin Ryman will get her first real look at three freshmen, one transfer and a red-shirt freshman who will be making her debut.
The first game is slated for 10 innings. The second game will be seven innings.
The four freshmen are Jordan Abell, Gracey Aguirre and Brianne Welch. Infielder Kelsey Cartwright is a junior transfer from Auburn. Pitcher Ashley Anderson was a red-shirt last season after injuring her shoulder during the Christmas break.
"We are introducing the new players to our system and getting them to understand how we play here and we do things here," Ryman said. "For the most part everything has been great.
"I feel like every single player on this team could play a good number of innings this year. Whether that happens or not is going to depend on what happens between now and spring, but the talent is there."
Cartwright, who is from Joelton, Tenn., and played for Goodpasture will play in the infield, with both shortstop and second base as possibilities.
"Kelsey is already showing leadership qualities," Ryman said. "She is going to continue to grow in that role.
"She is, by nature, a shortstop from her high school and travel ball days. She played all over the infield at Auburn. She is a true competitor. She is always doing extra work."
Anderson, a 6-foot-2 left-hander, will be teaming on the mound with senior right-hander Whitney Kiihnl. She appears to be healthy and her velocity is noticeably better after working with pitching coach Lexi Myers.
"She is going to probably be in a crucial role for us," Ryman said. "She is learning very quickly. She was there for every workout and practice. She listened and watched and had a full year to take it all in.
"She is starting to work on her different pitches. She is working on her consistency and getting her movement back on her pitches. She has shown as much drive as anyone on our team. She wants to learn. She wants to get better."
Welch is projected to be an outfielder for the Lady Bisons. She played second and third bases in high school.
"All three of the freshmen are hard workers," Ryman said. "They want to earn spots and absorb everything we are throwing at them. Brianne is a perfect example of that.
"She is very quick and we want to take advantage of that quickness. She has played in the outfield in travel ball. She has caught on very quickly to our hitting system."
Aguirre is a versatile infielder who can play third and first. She can also catch. She has impressed with her defensive abilities. She is expected to challenge sophomore Rena' Cothron at third.
"Gracey has a great arm at third base," Ryman said. "She is a very instinctive player. She is not splashy or showy as a player. She just gets the job done.
"She has some pop in her bat. She could be a very good doubles hitter who could also add some home runs."
Abell is a versatile player with experience as an infielder, outfielder and catcher.
"We are going to work with Jordan primarily at second base, but we may work with her some at third and in the outfield," Ryman said. "She is quick. She is a sparkplug type of player. She gets dirty. She is not afraid to get after it.
"She is really starting to catch on hitting-wise. She is going to come in right away and compete with two outstanding middle infielders. She will be challenged to look for ways to improve her game every single day."

Open Source SOM/DSOM?
Esther Schindler blogs about the possibility of Open Sourcing IBM's SOM/DSOM [System Object Model / Distributed System Object Model] ... I worked with this stuff back in the 1990's and it was marvellous. Object here is proxy for object there ... whee ...
A few years before Java got off the ground SOM/DSOM was a "parent class" so to speak of CORBA .
Problem was, those hi-end 350MHz IBM desktops weren't fast enough for this sort of distributed object thing. That situation has changed now, very much so. So there's this mature, debugged mountain of code with a very simple metaprogramming model that a child can comprehend. And it's locked in a drawer, more or less :)
In the 1990's I was urging IBM to Open Source the wonderful Object Rexx language, which they finally did a few years ago, bless 'em and their glacial speed leaving the very worthy and vibrantly developing Open Object Rexx teetering on the brink of relevance.
Ditto SOM/DSOM ... Open Source it now, Big Blue, and show us you understand that Open Source is not just a publicity ploy, but a model for decades of ongoing software collaboration. It may save SOM/DSOM's relevance for a programming generation.

Since Hassan Rouhani assumed the presidency of the Islamic Republic of Iran in August of last year, the economic outlook for Iran has improved. When Rouhani took office, he promised three things: to curb the inflation which had become rampant under Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, to stabilize Iran's currency (the Rial), and to start talks to potentially end the sanctions which have battered Iran since 2010. Rouhani has delivered on each of these promises. From this, one might assume that the Iranian economy, and the Iranian people, are headed towards better times.
Unfortunately, the Misery Index paints a different picture. The Misery Index is the sum of the inflation, interest, and unemployment rates, minus the annual percentage change in per capita GDP. It provides a clear picture of the economic conditions facing Iranians.

Christmas Eve, 1968
Me, playing with my cousin, Patty
Today's prompt is Christmas Eve Memories and I have many memories that revolve around this special night. It's interesting to note how many Christmas Eve "traditions" have evolved as I have grown older. When I was very young, up until I was about 10 years old, we spent each and every Christmas Eve with my mother's side of the family. The best thing about those nights was the fact that there were so many of us at the party. My mother had 4 brothers and 1 sister and they were all married with families as well, so when we got together, we were a formidible bunch! The age range between the cousins was such that there was almost always someone else around that was close to your own age, so there were plenty of others to play with. It was wonderful! As the years went by and the children grew, the family "tradition" changed and those celebrations ended as the attention turned towards the individual families and their schedules, etc.. When I was 10 years old, my oldest brother was engaged and for a few years we spent Christmas Eve with the family of my sister-in-law. This time the tradition was held at our home and after some simple sandwiches and present opening, we would all head to church for the Christmas Eve services. After a few years of our blended family get-togethers, we spent a couple of Christmas Eve nights at home with just my parents, my brother, and my grandmother and we even opened all of our gifts on the night before Christmas once. This was a change in the tradition that we decided we did not like at all since it took away all the anticipation of Christmas morning. The year after my graduation from high school, I was married and of course, the question of how we would spend our Christmas was of extreme importance to us. We decided to host my husband's family at our home that Christmas Eve and and we would spend Christmas Day with my family. Thus began a tradition that continues to this day. I'm sure that one day this tradition will also change, but if and when it does, it will certainly be replaced by another; just as sweet and just as cherished. Merry Christmas to all and may we carry the spirit of Christmas in our hearts throughout the New Year!

Creating document based applications
From GNUstepWiki
←Older revision | Newer revision→
Note: this is a work in progress. Please bear with me as I add further information. --ChrisArmstrong 08:33, 5 Jul 2005 (CEST)
OpenStep can provide your application a document-based model. It helps to simplify the process of creating such applications. GNUstep is compatible with this paridgm as well; this document aims to provide an overview of what is required in the creation and design of such an application.
It is assumed you are familiar with GNUstep, and have some understanding as how to create Gorm's nib files, as well as some understanding of how they work.
Importantly, such applications have certain components that are required, and should be considered as part of their design. At a programmatic level, classes that will be used as part of the AppKit are:
This class is central to the OpenStep document based model. Such an application declares a new instance of a subclass of NSDocument for each "document" that is opened. It will be necessary to subclass NSDocument to implement this.
Each instance of your NSDocument subclass may have one or more windows associated with it. These are used as an interface for loading and saving a representation of your document type. Each window will have an "NSWindowController" instance associated with it, where NSDocument maintains a list of these.
This class acts a controller. It maintains a list of documents (instances of your NSDocument subclass) and is responsible for loading and instantiating new documents. It is usually not necessary to implement a subclass of this, but often it may be useful to implement special functionality (especially related to open documents as a whole).
As mentioned above, NSWindowController instances are individually associated with one NSWindow instance, in such a way that a document maintains a list of window controllers that are reponsible for rendering the views associated with a document.
You will most likely not have to subclass NSWindowController. Instead, you associate a nib file (the Gorm output) with the subclass of NSDocument, and NSDocumentController will load this nib file for each document that is created or loaded.
For example, a text based application that is used for the editing of plain text files, may subclass NSDocument with a TextDocument class. Each instance of this class would have an NSWindowController instance associated with it, which in turn manages a window instance that is instantiated from a nib file. The NSDocumentController instance, as managed and instatiated by GNUstep, would be responsible for loading and saving documents in your application. It even prompts the user to save their documents when they try to quit the application.
In building your application you will need to create a number of components. From scratch, the following should be a rough guide to getting it working.
The Makefile
For this type of application, no special makefile is needed: it just has to be a normal application. Project Builder should be able to spit out the required makefile and Gorm files that are needed for a generic application. Otherwise use the following as a template:
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/common.make
APP_NAME = DocumentApp
DocumentApp_OBJC_FILES =
DocumentApp_RESOURCES = \
Resources/Info-gnustep.plist \
Resources/DocumentApp.gorm \
-include GNUmakefile.preamble
include $(GNUSTEP_MAKEFILES)/application.make
-include GNUmakefile.postamble
For more information as to customising this file, as well as setting up compiler options for third party libraries and includes, see the GNUstep makefile manual.
The application dictionary - Info-gnustep.plist
For those that have edited this file in their project before, it is a dictionary with various values entered. For our purposes, we need an array within the main dictionary, called "NSTypes". This is a array of unnamed dictionaries, with one dictionary for each type.
An entire example of this file, for a "theoretical" TextEdit application (please note that such an application does exist as an example application from Next I think, and again on MacOS X but I have constructed a much simpler version, used only for plain text files).
Taking a look at the single dictionary entry in the NSTypes array, the following key-value pairs are needed:
- NSDocumentClass: This is (string) the subclass name you use in your code, the "objective-c name" of your document subclass. This is used by NSDocumentController's default implementation to create instances of your document type.
- NSName: The generic file type (string). This is completely arbitrary, and can be anything you like. For the purpose of conventions, it may be more appropriate not to use the "NS" or "GS" prefix (the latter of which I not sure), and instead use either your own, or no prefix at all.
- NSHumanReadableName: The human readable name of your document type (string)? TODO: explain where this is used.
- NSUnixExtensions: An array of strings, each containing a file extension connected to this document type on "unix" platforms. TODO: explain how "unix" is interpreted by GNUstep.
- NSDOSExtensions: An array of strings, each containing a file extenstion connected to this document type on "DOS" platforms (could be loosely interpreted as any MS platforms GNUstep runs on, i.e. Windows 2000/XP).
- NSRole: A string, either "Viewer" or "Editor", depending on how your document operates on this file type.
- NSIcon: A icon name associated with this document type. TODO: Investigate how this works.
{ ApplicationDescription = "A simple text editor for GNUstep."; ApplicationName = TextEdit; ApplicationRelease = 0.10; Authors = ( "Christopher Armstrong <firstname.lastname@example.com" ); Copyright = "Copyright (C) 2005 Christopher Armstrong"; CopyrightDescription = "Released under GPL."; FullVersionID = 0.10; NSExecutable = TextEdit; NSMainNibFile = TextEdit.gorm; NSPrincipalClass = NSApplication; NSRole = Application; NSTypes = ( { NSDocumentClass = "TextDocument"; NSName = "GSTextDocumentType"; NSHumanReadableName = "Text Document"; NSUnixExtensions = ( "txt", "" ); NSDOSExtensions = ( "txt" ); NSRole = Editor; } ); }
For more information on property list files, consult Property Lists.
Interface file
Two interface files are needed: one for your main application, and another that will be instantiated with each instance of your document subclass. These both should be listed as resources in your makefile, (as shown the GNUmakefile example above). It may be helpful to name the document nib file after your class.
Application Interface File
The application one should just be a menu (though it could be more if necessary). When constructing it, take the following into account:
- Use a standard Gorm template for an Application.
- Delete the window instance in the "Objects" pane (unless you need a main window, in which case I don't know how to operate).
- Set NSOwner's class to "NSDocumentController" (this is the custom class option of NSOwner in the property inspector). This ensures openDocument, newDocument, etc. messages, as sent to NSFirst, get picked up by NSDocumentController. Do not instantiate it (I believe you can't anyway).
- If you intend to subclass NSDocumentController, subclass it in the Classes pane. To make sure that this class is instantiated and used, make sure you instantiate it in Gorm or in your main.m file, and set NSOwner to be your subclass.
- Drag a Document menu from the palette onto your main menu. This already has the proper linkage for each relevant message for a document setup to be directed to NSFirst. In the case of generic messages (such as openDocument:, not associated with any document instance), these are forwarded to the shared instance of NSDocumentController (see it's reference documentation). When a document is active, more specific messages (such as close: or saveDocument:) are forwarded to the relevant document instance of your NSDocument subclass.
- Add any appropriate menus such as "Info" and "Format" which may be relevant to your application.
Document Interface File
The document interface file is (generically) a window containing the view(s) required for the implementation of one instance of your document type. For example, in the case of a TextDocument type, a window instance with a NSTextView drawn on it is used for each open window. This nib file is instantiated every time a person creates a new document (the newDocument: message goes to NSDocumentController) or opens an existing document (openDocument:).
You will need to:
- Subclass NSDocument with your document type in Gorm (this is done in a couple of ways, see custom classes).
- Set NSOwner: Set your subclass as NSOwner's Custom class (done using the Property inspector). DO NOT INSTANTIATE IT.
Another thing that you may want to consider is custom outlets. If you place certain views or controls on your window (including the window itself), you may want to refer to them directly in yout code, e.g. the NSTextView in our TextEdit example is accessed directly, so that we can save it's contents to a file. To enable this, we add outlets to our class (see custom classes). We then connected NSOwner to the appropriate controls/views, and selected the outlets in the Connections property inspector (see editing the interface).

Ludovic Ondiviela as the Nephew and Elizabeth Harrod as Clara in The Nutcracker © Johan Persson/ROH 2011
To celebrate the arrival of the festive season we're highlighting our December productions, designed to enchant and thrill. The first sparkling item on our Christmas list is The Nutcracker.
The ballet equivalent of It's a Wonderful Life, The Nutcracker is a joyful celebration of Christmas with a hint of darkness at its heart. If you haven't seen our production the trailer is a good place to start to get a feel for it.
For the view from the stage, First Artist Leanne Cope talks about what it's like to dance the lead role of "feisty" Clara, while Senior Stage Manager Johanna Adams tells us what it's like to work backstage on The Nutcracker.
If it's a close look at the costumes you're after, Royal Opera House Collections contains details of a number of costumes from productions past.
Throughout December, our guest blogger Gavin Plumley will be dissecting The Nutcracker on his blog, Entartete Musik. Every day until Christmas Day, Gavin will be looking at everything to do with the ballet from the story to the staging and the music. He starts with his recommendations of which recordings to listen to.
The Ballet Bag have also produced a fantastic beginner's guide to the ballet including background, a synopsis and information about the various different versions.
Next in this mini series, we'll take a look at The Royal Opera's La traviata.
Will you be seeing The Nutcracker or have you seen it in a prior season? What makes it the definitive Christmas ballet?

To learn more about growing your own food, check out our books, Food Grown Right, In Your Backyard and High-Yield Vegetable Gardening; or subscribe to Encyclopedia Botanica our new weekly podcast on edible gardening:
At Seattle Urban Farm Company (SUFCo), we thrive on pioneering new ideas and empowering city dwellers to reap the rewards of urban food production. We believe that sustainable urban agriculture can promote healthy diets, environmental stewardship, stronger communities and improved quality of life. We hope that developing economically sound, city-based farming ventures will increase public awareness of agricultural issues and foster a greater appreciation of farmers everywhere.
An initial design process is essential to the success of every productive garden. A comprehensive site plan allows you to combine individual elements of your urban farm to create a cohesive, functional, and beautiful space. A garden design includes scaled drawings of the space, planting recommendations, material specifications and precise dimensions for garden elements such as: garden beds, pathways, trellises, irrigation, tool sheds, washing stations, greenhouses, and seating areas. Additional drawings including planting plans, grading plans and renderings can also be produced, as applicable to each project. Design budgets vary depending on the scale and complexity of the project.
Our team of expert landscape builders will translate your garden design from concept to reality. We create beautiful and functional spaces with sustainably sourced materials and pride ourselves on producing the highest quality, non-toxic garden structures possible. Structures are built from naturally rot-resistant woods, stone and other long-lasting materials. Our in-house builders construct most garden elements; while some specialty jobs (steel bed fabrication, large tree removal, etc) may be completed by our partner businesses. All of our installations are built to the highest standards to create beautiful, productive, safe, and ecological outdoor environments.
After garden construction is complete, we offer a range of garden maintenance services. Our experienced farm crew can stop by your garden on a weekly or bi-weekly basis throughout the season. We bring all of the vegetable transplants, seeds, trellises, organic fertilizers, organic pest control materials and tools necessary to keep your garden healthy and attractive. You are always welcome to join us during our visits if you're interested in learning more about edible gardening. We keep you up to date on what is happening in your garden with emails and newsletters detailing what is ready for harvest, what is coming soon, and other pertinent information about the season.

New York Food Coma, part two
It is only on day four of a recent detox spell that I am finally able to sit down and write this, after having a week of such reckless excess that it actually felt at times more like a dream than reality. All I know is that the morning after the final night, I awoke to find my bedroom floor littered with empty wine bottles and $100 bills scattered everywhere (not rolled up). Further examination of the crime scene reveals that 30% of the bottles are quality, and about 70% cheap and clearly purchased late night. I guess this explains how I had held on to so much cash, but it didn't shed any light as to why it was all over the floor….
It all started with the weekend of the second New York Trip.
I caught wind while working at Miyake the previous Tuesday of an excursion to the city happening that coming Sunday. Masa was driving down to finalize a few things for the new ramen bar, Pai Men Miyake, and Tina, who dates my co-worker Will, was beginning her move to New York to attend Parsons School for Design. I figured I would hitch a ride down, hang out with them for a bit, and then check into a ridiculous hotel room and go my own way. In the morning we'd all come back together and go straight to work that night.
On the evening before the trip I had been out celebrating my final shift at the Old Port Sea Grill. After several drinks in the back office, I allow one of my female co-workers to apply eyeliner to my face. After a few more beverages we head across the street to Ri-Ra, where one of the bartenders asks me if I've "just been on stage?"
"No, just wearing eyeliner," I reply causally and order a glass of "white wine, whatever's good!"
I can only imagine what I must have looked like, sitting in a cheesy Irish-themed bar while wearing makeup and drinking white wine, and I'm thankful that I was at least with a group of friends. I begin to black out as I'm fed a few shots of Rumple Minz to chase my wine, and as last call mercifully approaches, I'm given a ride home. Of course on the way, I insist on stopping at Cumberland Farms so I can purchase another bottle of wine, a frozen cheeseburger, a large bottle of water, and a Star Magazine. The beauty of purchasing trashy magazines when you're this drunk is that you get to enjoy them twice, due to being unable to remember them the first time through.
6:00 a.m. comes very quickly and painfully after 3 hours of sleep, and as I go to the bathroom to get ready I notice that I am, in fact, wearing makeup. It doesn't really come all of the way off in the shower, which I then realize isn't actually that bad because it makes me look more awake and less brutally hungover.
Masa picks me up and we make it to the city in about five hours, which is great. I have trouble sleeping in cars, which isn't so great. Just when I start to get my second wind we pull into one of the service stations in Massachusetts, where I am re-nauseated when I notice that the gift shop sells Banana Cream Flavored Muscle Milk. Just the thought of how horrible this must be upsets me, and just the fact that this product even exists makes me uncomfortable and queasy. I start thinking about the things I would say If I saw someone I know enjoying one of these wretched concoctions, and then what would their breath be like? God, it just sounds so fucking gross…
When we arrive in the city the first thing we do is help Tina move into her new apartment, and even though it takes all of twenty minutes I'm in no condition to be carrying things up and down stairs. The fact that I'm wildly out of shape combined with anxiety from my hangover is causing my heart to pound out of my chest at this point, and I think I may throw up.
I keep it together and soon we are on our way to lunch, at a Ramen place called Minca. We decide to walk and I think the fresh air helps get me ready for the day I had planned, which was shaping up to be quite the endurance match. As we enter Minca, one of the cooks recognizes Masa (he worked there many years ago) and yells out "Miyake!"
The initial sip of Rolling Rock is a rugged one, but soon I'm back in the rhythm of things and ready to eat. The first course is a sesame and daikon radish salad, which is simple and refreshing, and then handmade shrimp gyoza.
As beer number two arrives, so does the Ramen. On our first trip down, Masa didn't bring us here on purpose because he said that once you have a bowl of this, there's no room for anything else. As I take my first bite I can see why – the broth is so rich with pork that you feel like you just took a bite of a rib. The slices of pork belly and soy sauce egg complete the equation, making it more of an "evening ramen," as in "don't plan on getting anything constructive done after finishing."
On our way out we are given a tour of the basement, which houses two gigantic walk-in coolers. While we're down there, Masa tries to explain to his friend where Maine is, but he might as well have been talking about Lichtenstein or the planet Melmac (wow – an Alf reference?) because this guy truly had no idea, nor did he care.
We have a few more stops before we go our separate ways for the evening, and en route to the next watering hole we stumble upon Sakaya, a small boutique that only sells sake. Though I have been researching and drinking sake for awhile now, places like this continue to remind me how little I know. The owner was very helpful, and I pick out a bottle of Kokuryu "Black Dragon" Junmai Ginjo from the Fukui Prefecture to accompany the six bottles of wine that I had already brought down to stock my hotel room.
We then enjoy a Yebisu beer and a carafe of sake to wash down a few pieces of Tamago (Japanese style omelette) at Soba-ya in the East Village. I will admit right now that my knowledge of NYC geography is poor, so don't get too riled up if I fuck up when describing where I've been. I'm still pretty damn full from the ramen at this point, so I have some tea to aid digestion and we head out to shop for Ramen bowls and other noodle bar accessories at Korin.
Korin, in addition to many other things, has the most amazing selection of Japanese knives I've ever seen. The walls are lined with them, with many fetching price tags of up to $7000 each. This makes me wonder at what point does one consider him/herself so proficient that they would feel worthy of utilizing such a blade?
After I was done drooling over knives, Masa takes me to my hotel and we all part ways for the evening. I decide to go over the top and get a one-bedroom suite on the 21st floor of the Eventi Hotel in Chelsea. It's a gorgeous room, with a separate lounge area and a king size bed overlooking the city. The bathroom is pretty much three rooms, one for the Jacuzzi and shower, one with mirrors and sinks, and one for the toilet.
I had a few friends coming by late night so I get to work chilling bottles and ordering up different stemware from the hotel restaurant (yes, I'm THAT asshole), and just settling in. I originally had the intention to take a nap, but I decided utilizing the Jacuzzi and then hanging out in the leopard print robes (another Kimpton hotel feature that I love) while drinking wine would be a reasonable substitute.
As late afternoon sets in I roll out to meet my friends, Lacey and Kate, at Terroir wine bar in the East Village. Lets just say this is my kind of place, with a wine list that only sells Riesling by the glass in the summer, and pictures of women's body parts with the word "Riesling" tattooed on them on display everywhere. Lacey, a sommelier for one of Mario Batali's new ventures, knows her shit and knew I'd love it here, with the wines lists presented in old-school binders with phrases like "bubble gum wine is better than your fake oak juice" scrawled all over them. I order a bottle of 2009 Donnhoff Kabinett from their extensive Riesling selection, and after a few glasses I begin to wish I could visit this bar every day.
I had made dinner plans with Andrew Knowlton, the restaurant editor for Bon Appetit, at Prime Meats in Brooklyn. The owners, Frank Falconelli and Frank Castronovo, had been to Maine recently to do a book signing at Rabelais and we'd had a few drinks after, so I was curious to see what their whole operation was about.
After getting stuck in ridiculous traffic, which I guess is the norm, I finally arrived to meet Andrew and his wife Christina, the director of operations for the Frankie's restaurants, with their daughter, Julep. Though not usually a fan of children, I have to admit that I enjoyed Julep's company at dinner, and was honestly a little excited when she warmed up to me enough to begin giving me high fives (although not every time I requested, I guess she didn't want me to feel spoiled).
We start out with an assortment of salads, the hands-down favorite of mine being the smoked trout, which is uncharacteristic of my usual tastes. It was so delicate and flavorful, which made me want to take some home and make a patty melt with it, in my typical fashion of extracting any kind of subtlety out of a dish. Then again we were drinking Syrah, Crozes Hermitage from Domaine des Entrefeaux, with it so I guess doing things the right way had already gone out the window.
Marrow bones were cut lengthwise to maximize the amount of roasted deliciousness to spread on toasted bread with salt and gremolata, a much better pairing with the wine. It's the kind of flavor that you just want to linger in your mouth forever, salty and rich.
It had gotten dark at this point, and because I'm totally ghetto and don't have a flash on my iPhone camera, I don't have much documentation of the rest of the dinner. I did take a few pictures with one of the server's phones that had a flash, but according to Andrew they "sucked" though he blamed "the syrah and not my abilities." This doesn't surprise me, as I was getting pretty fucked up and was only taking pictures because I knew I'd be pissed at myself if I didn't.
For the main course we shared a mammoth Cote de Bouef, sliced and served with a chimichurri-style sauce. The quality of the meat was outstanding, dry aged to the point where, as Andrew pointed out, it had an amazing minerality to it. I had to agree, even though I was beginning to burst at the seams and couldn't quite finish.
After dinner, Christina takes Julep home and we retire to the bar, which is standing only. I think this is cool, because not having chairs keeps things moving and discourages camping out. I can immediately tell that Damon, the bartender, knows exactly what he's doing and I let him make me a tequila cocktail of his choice, which turned out to be a delicious concoction of Milagro tequila and loganberries. We go next door to check out the neighboring restaurant, Frankies, and Damon joins us for a moment to discuss, among other things, people who leave anonymous comments online.
While at Frankie's, we order a cheese plate which I believe were selections from Saxelby Cheesemongers, accompanied by figs that almost tasted like peaches, and an amazing compote made from grapes that they grow in their backyard. I remember the front of the house staff at both restaurants being extremely enthusiastic about what they were doing, to the point where it was contagious. The dining experience is concluded with a couple shots of Nonino Amaro, a digestif that reminded me a little of Fernet Branca (although my memory could have been failing at that point).
Now it was time to tear through all that wine in my hotel room, and there to help me were my friends Sean and Lola. A few hours go by, and we decimate all the Champagne, red wine, and sake. At this point I am miraculously hungry again, so we head out to Mad for Chicken in Midtown for late night eats.
The entrance is fairly unassuming, but inside it's almost a little clubby – but like I said at this point my memory is falling apart. One thing I'll never forget, however, is how fucking great the chicken wings were. I almost want to describe them as having a "fried candy shell" and paired up with a bottle of Soju I just couldn't stop eating them. I will admit that when the server came back and told me they were out of the Champagne I had foolishly ordered along with the Soju, I was a little relieved. The evening concludes with a few more drinks at the hotel, and then I can no longer stand.
All in all, a great night…
What wasn't so great was the next morning, but at least it was nice to wake up with the view of the Manhattan Skyline from my bed. I stand in the shower room for about 40 minutes and think about how I'd like to live in a luxury hotel at some point. The ride home is just as brutal as I thought it would be, as is the work shift that follows, but I didn't regret a thing. The week proceeds to be a blur and finally ends up right where this post led off.
I'm sure it won't be the last time.

I worry about you, then I read some more and stop worrying and start getting jealous. Then I worry/jealous some more; then think, 'hmm, he's actually a good photographer. I'm hungry.' Must go see if there's anything Joe-worthy to eat in the kitchen for breakfast...ReplyDelete
Well, Joe, after this week I'll be living in Brooklyn with a backyard and patio - along with my love of wine and food. If you and Eric can ever get it together to come down at the same time we could have an epic time. And I love Korin. I bought my first carbon steel Japanese knife there after staging at Blue Hill in the city and seeing the fish cook slice fish skin w/o it even moving. I knew I had to have a knife that sharp. BUT, it isn't one of the crazy, crazy ones. I still love it, though.ReplyDelete

When I was a little girl, my mom and dad went their separate ways. I grew up with my mom. She was an amazing parent. She encouraged me to keep in touch with my dad, which I did, right until the end of his life. She taught me to be open-minded, to forge strong relationships and not to judge. My dad, who became an advocate for worker equality, showed me the way to work with people, to effect change.
I've always had a passion for gender equality, and it really bothers me that we still have so far to go. But what encourages me and gives me energy to keep going, to effect change, is the huge upsurge in activity by men and by women to address gender equality.
At Accenture, I feel privileged to run one of our largest International Women's Day events. These events are important. If they inspire one person or organization to address their unconscious bias, we're making a difference.
It's only when you're in the minority, as women leaders are, that you truly know what it's like to check yourself every day. Nobody should have to check themselves any day. Everyone should feel equal.

LONDON, Ontario – Gracie Gold didn't leave her first World Figure Skating Championships with a medal. Nor was she the United States' top finisher. But when she checked in for her flight home to Chicago, heavy expectations were packed in her suitcase.
The morning after Gold impressed the judges and a savvy figure skating audience, a former Canadian champion discussed the previous night's proceedings. Gold finished sixth, one spot behind two-time national champ Ashley Wagner.
As the sport's spotlight has dimmed to a near blackout in the U.S., Toller Cranston pointed to Gold as the next American star. Cranston, who won a record six Canadian championships and the bronze at the 1976 Olympics, is now known for his colorful oil paintings and silk scarf designs. He knows flair when he sees it. Cranston said Gold has both the looks and the goods.
Others agree. Jerry Solomon, the president of StarGames, a sports marketing and entertainment company, first heard about Gold when his kids, who are gymnastics fans, watched a televised gymnastics and figure skating special in January. As soon as Gold took the ice, he knew.
RELATED: U.S. women take one for the team
"She has all the makings of a tremendous star, which America hasn't seen in a long time," he said Sunday.
Solomon, who's married to two-time Olympic medalist Nancy Kerrigan, had never heard of Gold before that moment, nor has he met her. He's proposing a post-Olympic figure skating tour that would feature the USA's most successful skaters, such as ice dancers Meryl Davis and Charlie White, who won their second world title, and international stars such as South Korea's Kim Yu-na, who won another world title Saturday.
Of course, Gold (and everybody else for that matter) has to qualify for the Olympic team first. The success of a tour shouldn't solely depend on Gold, but "to some degree it does," Solomon said.
Which is all heady stuff for a 17-year-old who just completed her first international senior season. After worlds, the compliments poured in via Twitter. Kristi Yamaguchi, the 1992 Olympic champion, congratulated both Americans afterwards and then added: "@GraceEGold I was 6th at my first Worlds too :)"
With a combined placements of 13 or better for the first time since 2007, Wagner and Gold earned three spots for the U.S. women at next year's Sochi Olympics.
Once upon a time, the U.S. women owned the podium at the Olympics and the world championships. From 1956 to 2002, they won seven Olympic titles and 10 other medals at the Games. However, an American woman hasn't won a world or Olympic medal since 2006.
"The American ladies had so many years of dominance," said Wagner's coach, John Nicks, who has seen it all in his seven decades in the sport. "We're starting to get back to the good ol' days."
Even so, the otherworldly Kim will be the overwhelming favorite to win Olympic gold in Sochi. The rest of the field will be vying for silver and bronze.
Though Gold's jumping ability is on par with the world's best, she still needs to improve her artistry to be a medal contender. She hopes to push the envelope next season, possibly adding more difficult jumps.
Gold had been doing a triple flip-half-loop-triple salchow combination, but the points weren't worth the risk. She may resume practicing that combo and also might work on a triple axel, the toughest jump for a female skater and a signature jump for Japan's Mao Asada, who won the world bronze.
When Gold went through airport customs, she also left with plenty of teenage awe (plus a Toller Cranston silk scarf, coincidentally.)
All week, Gold had hoped to take a picture with Kim, her idol. Before Saturday night's competition, she had her chance. Kim was sitting at a nearby table at lunch. "I chickened out," Gold said.
She hoped for another chance at the closing banquet on Sunday. When a journalist suggested, with a wink, that Gold could get that photo if she finished on the podium with Kim, Gold didn't miss a beat.
She returned the wink and added, "I see what you did there." Then Gold smiled, not quite ready to carry those weighty expectations just yet.

Fed looks to keep recovery on track with return to higher interest rates
THE Federal Reserve is watching job creation, but investors will be better off keeping a wary eye on profits and bond yields.
Yields have risen in the past two months, while corporate profits may be on the slide – both of which should undercut job growth and exercise a powerful influence over the Fed's next move.
While the evidence from the first week of corporate profit reporting season is mixed, profits and margins look to have weakened in the second quarter as companies struggle with lower spending by governments and a difficult environment of falling inflation.
At the same time, evidence of an improving jobs picture, as well as dovish statements (now partly taken back) from the Fed have convinced markets that they are on a path towards 'normal' interest rates. In other words, higher rates.
Benchmark 10-year Treasury yields rose by more than a percentage point from early May to early July, topping out above 2.7pc.
That move, in and of itself, is bad news for both the US and the global economy, as is shown by Fed chairman Ben Bernanke's efforts to partly row back on remarks which convinced investors he'd soon begin scaling back the central bank's purchases of bonds. Rates rocketed higher in May after Mr Bernanke's remarks convinced many that relatively encouraging jobs figures were setting the stage for a tapering of bond purchases as soon as September.
"Our conclusion is that these yields are unsustainable and, if they last long enough, will sow the seeds of their own destruction by weakening (and possibility terminating) the domestic and global expansions," economist David Levy, of the Jerome Levy Forecasting Centre writes in a note to clients.
Mr Levy argues, convincingly, that higher yields, if sustained, would hurt the domestic economy in at least three ways.
First, by crimping the recovery in housing, as higher mortgage rates are felt and the marginal buyer turns away from purchases. Second, rising yields will cap stock markets' gains, which in turn may encourage higher savings rates.
Higher savings, while a good idea and much needed in the long term, will slow growth now. Finally, higher yields will hurt exports, both by hitting growth in emerging markets and by driving the dollar higher, making US products less attractive.
Other than a view on future Fed policy, why does the market believe market rates will rise over the coming year? Much stock is given to what has been genuinely encouraging jobs figures, which have been on an unmistakably upward slope in recent months. With the Fed having placed a strong emphasis on achieving a 6.5pc unemployment rate, as against 7.6pc today, before it raises rates, it is easy to conflate job growth today with rising rates tomorrow.
There is a tendency too to see jobs growth as self-sustaining; still, job creation follows GDP growth – which itself tracks profits. With profits moderating it becomes hard to see the jobs recovery as self-sustaining. That's especially true given the frankly bizarre behaviour of corporations during the most recent recovery in profits, which took them to nosebleed territory.
Basic economic theory holds that companies, which on the whole like to make more money, invest in new production when their margins and profits are high. That simply didn't happen this time round, which is perhaps why job growth only really became solid once housing began to bubble again.
There is disagreement about why companies failed to invest when times were good. Some believe it's because they recognise and fear the vulnerability of households and governments with shaky balance sheets.
Others, notably economist Andrew Smithers, argue that piratical executives have hijacked companies and won't invest because they know that they will soon jump ship.
Either way, if companies didn't invest as profits and margins rose, it is very hard to see them doing it as they fall.
To be sure, profits so far this reporting season have been mixed – with banks such as JP Morgan, Wells Fargo and Citigroup providing bright spots.
David Levy uses a metaphor his economist father was fond of, that an economy in transition is like a train rounding a bend: the wagon can still be going one direction while the engine is already going another.
It is unclear whether we are in transition but profits are usually the engine and, this time particularly, interest rates will help to decide how fast the train goes. Based on the last two months, that is not faster. (Reuters)

Monday night at our garden club meeting Charlotte Nelson delighted us by making these cute little penguins. We all thought they were adorable (who wouldn't!) and she said she got the idea online.
How did she make them? Two black olives (pitted), softened cream cheese, dry ranch dressing mix, a carrot (sliced into rounds) and one of those cute umbrellas.
Cut one of the olives in half. Take one carrot round and slice out a "beak" leaving the rest intact (about a sixth of the carrot). Mix cream cheese with ranch dressing mix to taste, then pipe it into the center of the divided olive. Place the other half on top and use the carrot round for the base. Stuff the carrot "beak" into the hole of the other olive. Place it on top of the body and secure with the umbrella. These are great for a party and children will LOVE them!
I took one home to my husband and he had eaten the little sculpture before I could say, "Save this for photos."
He then said "Yum, this is really good!"
I wasn't surprised. It is cute, too!
