Been away from this project for a while and been itching to get back! I know that I'm WAY behind the group, but luckily it's a very forgiving group.
Tried a couple of pink and red blocks....
Then I can't stay away from my roses too long. Is there anything better than red & aqua?
Maybe orange? It's never been my favorite color, but I am loving this block!
But lest you think this is all I've been up to this past month, all be sharing some of the projects I've been working on soon! In the meantime it feels good to be back on the farm.

In response to growing concern among Houston parents regarding the use of Lean Beef Trimmings, aka "pink slime," in school food ground beef, Houston ISD released today the following statement:
Alll HISD ground beef suppliers have confirmed this week that they do not use lean finely textured beef.Houston Independent School District officials contacted the suppliers soon after concerns were raised about lean finely textured beef, also known as pink slime. As of Wednesday afternoon, each vendor had supplied HISD with written documentation confirming they have not sent the district any of the controversial products. In addition, HISD officials have inspected about $800,000 worth of frozen ground beef stored at the district's food services facility and confirmed it does not contain lean finely textured beef.
In the future, HISD will decline to purchase any products that contain lean finely textured beef.
Meanwhile, here is a long overdue update on the Change.org petition started on March 6th on my main blog, The Lunch Tray, asking USDA to cease providing schools with ground beef containing LBT.
As of today, sixteen days later, there are close to one-quarter of a million signatures in support of the petition. On the ninth day of the petition, USDA announced that it would change its policy and allow districts to opt out of purchasing beef containing LBT. Since then, school districts around the country have either indicated that they will no longer purchase beef with the cheap filler or they have affirmed that they were not using LBT in the first place.
As of yesterday, many of the largest supermarket chains in the country have disavowed use of LBT. The chains include Safeway (the country's second largest, after Kroger), Food Lion and Supervalu (the third largest, operating Acme, Albertsons, Cub Foods, Farm Fresh, Hornbacher's, Jewel-Osco, Lucky, Shaw's/Star Market, Shop 'n Save and Shoppers Food & Pharmacy). Walmart and Sam's Club stores will begin offering beef without LBT, while Kroger has issued a statement regarding which of its ground beef offerings are free of LBT and will provide this information to its meat departments.
For more information, visit ABC News's website. You can also see me interviewed about the matter on ABC World News here.

Get Sweetener Savvy: The Need-to-Know Facts
Peter Tak
Sugar vs. Sweeteners
It's no secret — large quantities of sugar can harm the body in many ways, from causing inflammation to increasing the chance of developing obesity and coronary heart disease, which is why the American Heart Association recommends that the average American (AHA) limit their intake of added sugar to 5 teaspoons for women and 9 teaspoons for men. But the artificial stuff isn't necessarily better for you.
For starters, many of the sugar substitutes found in diet foods and beverages are jam-packed with chemicals, which can put a strain on your immune system. "When we ingest these chemicals, our bodies need to work extra hard to metabolize them, leaving less resources to detoxify our bodies from the many chemicals we get exposed to in the environment," says Dr. Jeffrey Morrison, physician and nutrition adviser for Equinox.
The Not-So-Sweet Side of Sweeteners
It seems like a miraculous wish come true in a tiny, colorful packet. You can still enjoy your coffee nice and sweet without any calories. But over the years, valid arguments have formed stating artificial sweeteners can actually aid in weight gain. "Artificial sweeteners stimulate our body to produce the weight gain hormone insulin, which causes the body to store calories as fat," says Morrison. And even though in a statement released by the AHA in July 2012 claimed that non-nutritive sweeteners did have the potential to help people reach and maintain their goal weights, they also stated that the evidence was limited and therefore inconclusive.
But when it comes to the sweet stuff, which are the worst offenders? Read on for your guide to the best and worst sweeteners.
Sold under names like NutraSweet® and Equal®, aspartame is one of the more controversial and studied sweeteners on the market. In fact, "by 1994, 75 percent of all non-drug complaints to the FDA were in response to aspartame," says Cynthia Pasquella, clinical nutritionist and holistic practitioner. Those gripes ranged from vomiting and headaches, to abdominal pain and even cancer.
The Scoop: Aspartame has zero calories and is often used for baking, it contains a broth of unfamiliar ingredients, such as phenylalanine, aspartic acid, and methanol. "The methanol from aspartame breaks down in the body to become formaldehyde, which is then converted into formic acid," says Pasquella. "This can lead to metabolic acidosis, a condition where there is too much acid in the body and leads to disease." Even though aspartame's link to health problems has been highly studied, there's very little evidence to keep it off shelves. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has set the accepted daily intake (ADI) at 50 mg/kg of body weight, which equals about 20 cans of aspartame-sweetened beverages for a 140-pound woman.
Known as Splenda (and also marketed as Sukrana, SucraPlus, Candys, and Nevella), sucralose was initially developed in the 1970s by scientists who were trying to create an insecticide. Splenda is often touted as the most natural sweetener because it comes from sugar, but during the production process, some of its molecules are replaced with chlorine atoms.
The Scoop: On the upside, sucralose has no effect on immediate or long-term blood glucose levels. "Splenda passes through the body with minimal absorption, and although it is 600 times sweeter than sugar, it has no effect on blood sugar," says Keri Glassman, author of the Slim Calm Sexy Diet and expert nutrition contributor for Equinox. Even so, skeptics have been concerned that the chlorine in sucralose could still be absorbed by the body in small amounts. In 1998, the FDA completed over 100 clinical studies and found that the sweetener had no carcinogenic effects or risk associated. Ten years later though, Duke University completed a 12-week study — funded by the sugar industry — administering Splenda to rats and found that it suppressed good bacteria and reduced fecal micro flora in the intestines. "The findings (while they were in animals) are significant because Splenda reduced the probiotics, which play a key role in maintaining a healthy digestive system," says Ashley Koff, registered dietitian and FITNESS advisory board member. The ADI is currently set at 5 mg/kg of body weight, meaning a 140-pound female could easily have 30 packets of Splenda per day, which seems like a lot.
Most commonly known as Sweet 'N Low, saccharin is one of the oldest low-calorie sugar substitutes available. It's an FDA-approved option that's been widely tested, yielding a slew of conflicting reports.
The Scoop: Saccharin was first categorized as a carcinogen in the '70s, when research linked it to bladder cancer in lab rats. However, the ban was lifted in the late 2000s when later studies proved that rats have a different makeup to their urine than humans do. Even so, pregnant women are typically advised to use saccharin sparingly.
With respect to weight-loss benefits, saccharin has zero calories and doesn't raise blood glucose levels, but nutritionists believe the sweetener can be linked to weight gain. "Usually when one eats a sweet food, the body expects calories to accompany that food, but when the body does not get those calories, its looks for them elsewhere," says Glassman. "So for every calorie that you think you save by choosing an artificial sweetener, you are likely to gain by eating more calories in the end." The ADI for saccharin is 5 mg/kg of body which is the equivalent of a 140-pound woman consuming 9 to 12 packets of the sweetener.
Agave Nectar
Used as an alternative to sugar, honey, and even syrup, agave nectar is produced from — you guessed it — the agave plant, but much of what's available in supermarkets has been overprocessed or chemically refined. It's 1.5 times sweeter than sugar, so you can use less. Don't be surprised to find it in health food bars, ketchup, and some desserts.
The Scoop: "Agave nectar has a low glycemic index, which means this form of sugar is absorbed more slowly by the body so it causes a relatively lower spike in blood sugar and less of a sugar rush than other forms of sugar," says Glassman. However, agave is starch-based, so it's not that different from high-fructose corn syrup, which can have adverse health effects and increase triglyceride levels. Different agave manufacturers use varying amounts of refined fructose, one of the primary sugar components of agave, which is similar to high-fructose corn syrup and can sometimes be more concentrated.
Even though the agave plant contains inulin — a healthful, insoluble, sweet fiber — the agave nectar doesn't have very much inulin left over after processing. "One of the effects of agave nectar is that is can cause a condition of fatty liver, where sugar molecules accumulate in the liver, causing swelling and liver damage," says Morrison.
"Agave can actually have amazing health benefits, but many brands of agave on the market are chemically refined," says Cynthia Pasquella. She recommends raw, organic, and unheated agave because it is said to have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and immune-boosting abilities if consumed in moderation. There is no accepted daily intake because it is sugar, and there is no ADI for natural sweeteners.
Fans of this South American herb prefer it to regular table sugar because of the no-calorie appeal. It's available in both powdered and liquid form and nutritionists note that it's chemical- and toxin-free.
The Scoop: In 2008, the FDA declared stevia as "generally regarded as safe," which means they can be used as a sugar substitute. Studies have shown that stevia can lower insulin levels, making it a favored option for diabetics, though some are still worried about the brands of sweeteners that use stevia. "While stevia is regarded as safe, we don't know about all of the blends sold in supermarkets," says Koff." The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) has assigned it an ADI of 4 mg/kg (or or 12 mg/kg body weight for steviol glycoside) which means that a 150-pound person could consume around 30 packets.
Peter Ardito
With the closest comparable taste to sugar, this well-known sugar alcohol derived from birch bark is found in many fruits and vegetables, and it's produced in the body. Xylitol contains roughly 2.4 calories per gram, has 100 percent of the sweetness of table sugar, and when added to foods can help them stay moist and textured.
The Scoop: Advocates of this FDA-regulated option favor the non-caloric sweetener because it's safe for diabetics and research has shown that it promotes dental wellness. "Like stevia, xylitol is naturally derived, but it is not absorbed from the digestive tract, so if too much is consumed, it can cause loose bowel movements," says Morrison. Most products containing xylitol post warnings about the laxative-like effects. The ADI for xylitol is not specified, which means there are no limits that may make it hazardous to your health.

|For an overview of Mister Handies in the Fallout series of games, see Mister Handy.
The Mister Handy is a variant of robot found in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281.
The Mister Handy series of robots, named so because of the robot's large number of hands,[1] was first brought to market in 2037 as a general construction and maintenance unit by General Atomics International. Primarily used in the United States and Mexico (where it was the leader in sales after the Mexico City earthquake of 2042), the Mister Handy was a reliable robot. An early bug that caused interference in the operation of the multiple arms was fixed with a hardware update in 2039, with no major problems since then. A key selling feature is the nuclear power unit (a model 238B, licensed from Calpower) and self-maintenance modes. Multiple Mister Handies are capable of keeping themselves in working condition (Self Diagnostics) and are also fully programmed to perform nuclear fuel replacements. Secondary programming handles radiation cleansing after refueling.
Mister Handy robots are service and maintenance robots, with a powerful propulsion system enabling them to hover a few feet above ground. They have three primary appendages for manual labor, one which is fitted with a buzz saw and one fitted with a rudimentary flame thrower. They have three optical sensors fitted on top of their spherical chassis.
Gameplay attributesEdit
Although not designed for combat, mister handy robots are rather robust robots by design, due to their intended use in maintenance, and can pose a threat to lower level player characters. They are armed with a powerful melee weapon in form of a potent buzz saw, and wield a flame thrower which can prove deadly in close quarters.
Mister HandyEdit
Working Mister Handy robots are not as common in Fallout: New Vegas as in Fallout 3. Only a few nonviolent Mister Handies appear in the game; two are unnamed: one in the Securitron vault and one in the X-8 research center. PYTHON, a deactivated maintenance robot, is in the HELIOS One building. There are also two broken, unique versions of the Mister Handy. The first, called Rhonda, can be repaired in the storage building of Black Mountain as part of a quest. The second, Mr. Janitor, is located in the Sunset Sarsaparilla headquarters.
|Name (Base ID)
|Mister Handy
Crazed Mister HandyEdit
The crazed Mister Handy is a variant of the Mister Handy found in numerous places such as Hell's Motel, H&H Tools Factory, New Vegas Steel, and the Saturnite alloy research facility. It will attack the player character as soon as they make contact. This is due to the fact that their combat inhibitor has either been ripped out or has degraded for an unknown reason.
In Hell's Motel, there is a crazed Mister Handy that was used as an assistant by the now deceased Doctor Rotson. In New Vegas Steel, the crazed Mister Handies were participants in the factory automation test, which has been running for 204 years. As a result, the steel mills still continue to function. This type of Mister Handy is the hardest one to sneak up on and deactivate, and once detected, they will keep looking for the player character even though their status is [HIDDEN].

|Crazed Mister Handy
Maintenance robotEdit
Maintenance robots are light green-painted, smaller versions of Mister Handy found in REPCONN headquarters. Attacking one and failing to destroy it within 30 seconds will trigger an alarm, summoning sentry bots. The maintenance robots may engage in conversation between themselves, or the Mobile facial scanners. This only occurs when hidden, or access is authorized to all floors.
|Name (Base ID)
|Maintenance robot
Mobile facial recognition scannerEdit
A smaller variant of the Mister Handy, the mobile facial recognition scanners patrol the hallways of REPCONN headquarters to keep any and all unauthorized personnel out of restricted areas. Upon finding an unauthorized person or group, they will address the person or the leader of the group, and request that they verify their access or leave the premises. Failure to verify will result in an admonition to leave within 30 seconds, after which an alarm will sound and sentry bots are summoned. The mobile facial recognition scanners can be killed to prevent the alarm as long as the kill is not witnessed by another maintenance robot, or mobile facial recognition scanner, and they haven't already told the Courier to leave the floor. The mobile facial recognition scanners are not affected by the Robotics Expert perk, and cannot be deactivated.
To avoid this, ID cards, found scattered around the facility, can be used for identification. Alternatively, one can hack the terminal found on second floor to add themselves to the database; or, with low Intelligence, say "ICE CREAM!", which the machine will accept instead.
|Name (Base ID)
|Mobile facial recognition scanner
Bottling robotEdit
In one of the two factory floors in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters, there's one bottling robot who appears to be friendly at first. However, if it suspects the Courier is not a Sunset Sarsaparilla Company employee, it may turn hostile. On the floor, several broken bottling robots can be looted for some flamer fuel. For security reasons, the bottling robot will turn hostile towards the player character if they are detected attempting to sneak past it.

|Bottling robot
|Broken bottling robot
Broken custodial robotEdit
Broken custodial robots can be found in the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters by heading up the stairs on the factory floor. There are two broken custodial robots in the factory, found near the two shipping workers, and bottling robot, and they are the only Mister Handy robots that can be looted for some bottle caps as well as flamer fuel and scrap metal.
|Name (Base ID)
|Broken custodial robot
Broken personal assistantEdit
One unique named Mister Handy, a "broken personal assistant," can be found on the same floor of the Sunset Sarsaparilla Headquarters as the two broken bottling robots, at the end of the hallway in a room. Like the name suggests, it probably once belonged to a Sunset Sarsaparilla executive. This seems even more likely considering his inventory consists of a pencil, clipboard, shot glass, and various other service-related items.

Scala for Java Refugees Part 3: Methods and Statics
Posted By Daniel Spiewak On January 21, 2008 @ 1:00 am In Scala | 27 Comments
In this series, we've already laid the foundations [1] for Scala's syntax as well as gotten a feel for how some of its object-oriented constructs [2] work. We haven't really looked at any of these subjects in-depth however. Most of our effort has been focused on high-level, flash bang overviews that just get you tasting your way into the language. This post will go into greater depth regarding method syntax, touch a bit on scopes and attempt to cover how static members work in Scala. We will also touch on a few gotchas due to "missing" imperative instructions.
Scala isn't called a "functional language" just because it's Turing complete [3]. Scala has a very powerful and flexible syntax as it relates to methods, both declaration and invocation. We've already seen some basic samples:
class Person { def firstName() = { var back:String = ... // read from a database back } }
Fairly straightforward. But this doesn't really give you the full picture. In Java for example, you can create methods with different visibilities, modifiers and (oddly enough) return types. Does Scala support all of this flexibility?
The answer is a qualified "yes". Scala does allow for different visibilities on not just methods, but any members. For example:
class Person { private var name = "Daniel Spiewak" val ssn = 1234567890 // public constant field def firstName() = splitName()(0) // public method private def splitName() = name.split(" ") // private method protected def guessAge() = { import Math._ round(random * 20) } }
At the risk of going on a tangent, it's worth pointing out the (seemingly) out of place import statement within the guessAge() method. I mentioned in the first post that Scala's import is far more powerful than Java's. One of its many charms is imparting to the power to import into a specific scope. The import statement within guessAge() is much like a Java static import statement which only provides access to the Math members within the guessAge() method. So we couldn't just make a call to round() from within the splitName() method. Rubyists can think of it much like the include statement without all of the hassle (it's not actually including, it's importing and so eliminating the need for fully-qualified names).
Scala access modifiers are also quite a bit more powerful than Java's. For example, protected by default limits access to only subclasses, unlike Java which also allows access to other classes in the same package. More importantly though, Scala allows the developer to more explicitly specify the scope of the access modifier. This is accomplished using the modifier[package] notation. For example:
package com.codecommit.mypackage class MyClass { private[mypackage] def myMethod = "test" }
In this example, myMethod is access-restricted to both the enclosing class and the enclosing package. Essentially, this is how the Java-style package private modifier can be emulated using Scala. The protected modifier also allows such visibility qualifiers. The one restriction here is that the package specified must be an enclosing package. In the above example, specifying private[com.codecommit.mypackage] is perfectly valid, but private[scala.collection.immutable] would not be correct.
So with the exception of package-private, visibilities work about the same in Scala as they do in Java, both in syntax and function. Modifiers are really where things get interesting. Scala has far fewer method modifiers than Java does, primarily because it doesn't need so many. For example, Scala supports the final modifier, but it doesn't support abstract, native or synchronized:
abstract class Person { private var age = 0 def firstName():String final def lastName() = "Spiewak" def incrementAge() = { synchronized { age += 1 } } @native def hardDriveName():String }
If we were in Java, we would write the above like this:
public abstract class Person { private int age = 0; public abstract String firstName(); public final String lastName() { return "Spiewak"; } public synchronized void incrementAge() { age += 1; } public native String hardDriveAge(); }
Yes, I know it's more "Scala-esque" to use actors rather than synchronized(), but one step at a time.
You see how Scala keeps with its theme of making the common things concise? Think about it, almost every method you declare is public, so why should you have to say so explicitly? Likewise, it just makes sense that methods without a body should be implicitly abstract (unless they're native).
One very important type-saving feature that you should see in the example above is that Scala doesn't force you to declare the return type for your methods. Once again the type inference mechanism can come into play and the return type will be inferred. The exception to this is if the method can return at different points in the execution flow (so if it has an explicit return statement). In this case, Scala forces you to declare the return type to ensure unambiguous behavior.
You should also notice that none of the Scala methods actually include a return statement. This of course seems odd as judging by the Java translation, lastName() should return a String. Well it turns out that Scala carries a useful shortcut for method returns: the last statement in an expression, be it a scope, a closure or a method becomes its return value. This convention is also found in languages like Ruby and Haskell. This example illustrates:
def name() = { val name = new StringBuilder("Daniel") name.append(" Spiewak"); name.toString() } val s = name() println(s) // prints "Daniel Spiewak"
Again, in this example the return type of the method is inferred (as String). We could just as easily have written the name() method as follows, it just would have been less concise.
def name():String = { val name = new StringBuilder("Daniel") name.append(" Spiewak"); return name.toString() }
This "returnless" form becomes extremely important when dealing with anonymous methods (closures). Obviously you can't return from a closure, you can only yield, however the principle is the same. Since closures are often used to reduce code bulk and make certain algorithms more concise, it only makes sense that their return syntax would be as compact as possible:
val arr = Array(1, 2, 3, 4, 5) val sum = arr.reduceLeft((a:Int, b:Int) => a + b) println(sum) // 15
In this example we're passing an anonymous method to the reduceLeft() method within Array. This method just calls its parameter function repeatedly for each value pair, passing them as the a and b parameters. Here's the key part though: our anonymous method adds the two parameters and yields the result back to reduceLeft(). Again, no return statement (or actually, as a closure it would be yield). Also, we don't explicitly specify the return type for the closure, it is inferred from our last (and only) statement.
A very important concept in object-oriented programming is method overriding, where a subclass redefines a method declared in a superclass. Java's syntax looks like this:
public class Fruit { public int getWorth() { return 5; } } public class Apple extends Fruit { @Override public int getWorth() { return 1; } }
Technically, the @Override annotation is optional, but it's still good practice to use it. This gives you the compile-time assurance that you actually are overriding a method from a superclass. In principle, a method declared in a subclass overrides any method in the superclass declared with the exact same signature. At first glance this seems great, less syntax right? The problem is when you start dealing with APIs where you're uncertain if you got the overriding method signature right. You could just as easily overload the method rather than overriding it, leading to totally different functionality and sometimes hard-to-trace bugs. This is where @Override comes in.
Scala actually has a bigger problem with method overriding than just signature verification: multiple inheritance. Multiple inheritance is when one class inherits from more than one superclass. C++ had this feature years ago, effectively demonstrating how horrible it can really be [4]. When Gosling laid out the initial spec for Java, multiple inheritance was one of the things specifically avoided. This is good for simplicity, but it's sometimes constraining on the power-end of life. Interfaces are great and all, but sometimes they just don't cut it.
The key to avoiding ambiguities in the inheritance hierarchy is explicitly stating that a method must override a superclass method. If that method has the same signature as a superclass method but doesn't override it, a compile error is thrown. Add to that significant ordering in the extends/with clauses, and you get a workable multiple-inheritance scheme. But I'm getting ahead of myself…
Here's the Fruit example, translated into Scala:
class Fruit { def worth() = 5 } class Apple extends Fruit { override def worth() = 1 }
Notice that in Scala, override is actually a keyword. It is a mandatory method modifier for any method with a signature which conflicts with another method in a superclass. Thus overriding in Scala isn't implicit (as in Java, Ruby, C++, etc), but explicitly declared. This little construct completely solves the problems associated with multiple inheritance in Scala. We'll get into traits and multiple inheritance in more detail in a future article.
Often times when you override a method, you need to call back to the superclass method. A good example of this would be extending a Swing component:
class StrikeLabel(text:String) extends JLabel(text) { def this() = this("") override def paintComponent(g:Graphics):Unit = { super.paintComponent(g) g.setColor(Color.RED) g.drawLine(1, getHeight() / 2, getWidth() - 1, getHeight() / 2) } }
This component is just a rack-standard JLabel with a red line drawn through its center. Not a very useful component, but it demonstrates a pattern we see used a lot in Java: delegating to the superclass implementation. We don't want to actually implement all of the logic necessary to paint the text on the Graphics context with the appropriate font and such. That work has already been done for us in JLabel. Thus we ask JLabel to paint itself, then paint our StrikeLabel-specific logic on top.
As you see in the example, the syntax for making this superclass delegation is almost precisely the same as it is in Java. Effectively, super is a special private value (much like this) which contains an internal instance of the superclass. We can use the value just like super in Java to access methods and values directly on the superclass, bypassing our overriding.
That little bit of extra syntax in the extends clause is how you call to a superclass constructor. In this case, we're taking the text parameter passed to the default constructor of the StrikeLabel class and passing it on to the constructor in JLabel. In Java you do the same thing like this:
public class StrikeLabel extends JLabel { public StrikeLabel(String text) { super(text); } public StrikeLabel() { this(""); } }
This may seem just a bit odd at first glance, but actually provides a nice syntactical way to ensure that the call to the super constructor is always the first statement in the constructor. In Java, this is of course compile-checked, but there's nothing intuitively obvious in the syntax preventing you from calling to the super constructor farther down in the implementation. In Scala, calling the super constructor and calling a superclass method implementation are totally different operations, syntactically. This leads to a more intuitive flow in understanding why one can be invoked arbitrarily and the other must be called prior to anything else.
Scala is a very interesting language in that it eschews many of the syntax constructs that developers from a Java background might find essential. This ranges from little things like flexible constructor overloading, to more complex things like a complete lack of static member support.
So in Java, static members are just normal class members with a different modifier. They are accessed outside of the context of a proper instance using the classname as a qualifier:
public class Utilities { public static final String APP_NAME = "Test App"; public static void loadImages() { // ... } public static EntityManager createManager() { // ... } } System.out.println(Utilities.APP_NAME); Utilities.loadImages(); EntityManager manager = Utilities.createManager();
Scala does support this type of syntax, but under the surface it is quite a bit different. For one thing, you don't use the static modifier. Instead, you declare all of the "static" members within a special type of class which acts as an only-static container. This type of class is called object.
object Utilities { val APP_NAME = "Test App" def loadImages() = { // ... } def createManager():EntityManager = { // ... } } println(Utilities.APP_NAME) Utilities.loadImages() val manager = Utilities.createManager()
The syntax to use these "statics" is the same, but things are quite a bit different in the implementation. It turns out that object actually represents a singleton class. Utilities is in fact both the classname and the value name to access this singleton instance. Nothing in the example above is static, it just seems like it is due to the way the syntax works. If we port the above class directly to Java, this is what it might look like:
public class Utilities { private static Utilities instance; public final String APP_NAME = "Test App"; private Utilities() {} public void loadImages() { // ... } public EntityManager createManager() { // ... } public static synchronized Utilities getInstance() { if (instance == null) { instance = new Utilities(); } return instance; } } // ...
So Scala provides a special syntax which basically gives us a singleton for free, without all of the crazy syntax involved in declaring it. This is a really elegant solution to the problems with proper statics. Since Scala doesn't actually have static members, we no longer have to worry about mixing scopes, access qualifiers, etc. It all just works nicely.
But what about mixing static and instance members? Java allows us to do this quite easily since static is a qualifier, but Scala requires "static" members to be declared in a special singleton class. In Java, we can do this:
public class Person { public String getName() { return "Daniel"; } public static Person createPerson() { return new Person(); } }
The solution in Scala is to declare both an object and a class of the same name, placing the "static" members in the object and the instance members in the class. To be honest, this seems extremely strange to me and is really the only downside to Scala's singleton syntax:
object Person { def createPerson() = new Person() } class Person { def name() = "Daniel" }
The syntax for using this object/class combination is exactly the same as it would be in Java had we mixed static and instance members. The Scala compiler is able to distinguish between references to Person the object and references to Person the class. For example, the compiler knows that we can't create a new instance of an object, since it's a singleton. Therefore we must be referring to the class Person in the createPerson() method. Likewise, if a call was made to Person.createPerson(), the compiler is more than capable of deducing that it must be a reference to the object Person as there is no way to access a method directly upon a class. It's all perfectly logical and consistent, it just strikes the eye funny when you look at it.
And so ends our two part, whirlwind tour of Scala's object-oriented constructs, methods and statics. There are of course trivialities along the way which we haven't covered, but those are easy enough to learn now that you have the basics. The more interesting syntax is still to come though. For one thing, we've barely scratched the surface of all of the things that you can do with methods. They don't call it a "functional" language for nothing! But in keeping with our goal to represent the imperative side of the Scala language, we'll save that for later.
In the next article, we'll look at pattern matching and exception handling [5], two (surprisingly) related concepts.

Seven Myths of Executive Compensation
Rock Center for Corporate Governance at Stanford University Closer Look Series: Topics, Issues and Controversies in Corporate Governance No. CGRP-17
7 Pages Posted: 22 Jun 2011 Last revised: 3 Sep 2013
Date Written: June 21, 2011
Executive compensation has become one of the most contentious topics in corporate governance. However, public perception about executive pay suffers from many misconceptions.
These include the notions that:
1. The ratio of CEO-to-average-worker pay is a useful statistic: 2. Compensation consultants cause pay to be too high: 3. It is easy to tell whether a compensation package encourages "excessive" risk taking: 4. Performance metrics and targets tie directly to the corporate strategy: 5. Discretionary bonuses should be eliminated: 6. Proxy advisory firms know how to evaluation compensation contracts: 7. The numbers in the financial statements for executive options accurately capture their cost and value:
We examine these myths in close detail and explain why they are false. Problems of excessive compensation and poorly structured contracts will not be remedied by artificial changes and congressional mandates. Why don't experts rely on the research to arrive at informed and fact-based solutions?
Topics, Issues and Controversies in Corporate Governance and Leadership: The Closer Look series is a collection of short case studies through which we explore topics, issues, and controversies in corporate governance. In each study, we take a targeted look at a specific issue that is relevant to the current debate on governance and explain why it is so important. Larcker and Tayan are co-authors of the book Corporate Governance Matters, and A Real Look at Real World Corporate Governance.
Keywords: corporate governance research, executive compensation, pay for performance, incentives, equity pay

It seems if you have an Event that is set to run immediately at the start of your game and after so many seconds it will run a task that moves a NPC to where the player is as a timed entrance, but Adrift gets muddled. That is after that task in question is run and you type x character Adrift doesn't know who you are talking about because as far as its concerned that NPC isnt there, until you enter the command again or any other command. It seems when the task moved the NPC to Players location Adrift hasn't updated this truly in the current turn and has to wait until the next turn cycle to update itself. I tried using making a task that skipped a turn run in the subevent before the move NPC task but that didn't work.
Is there a way around this still using an timed event? i have gone the easy route and have instead created a task rather than use an event that asks the player to type "Continue" and then move NPC.

The 8th Judicial District ADR Program is assembling a Court Roster of paid mediators in matrimonial and Family Court matters and unpaid apprentice mediators to handle parenting issues pending before the court.
Mediators will not be compensated for the first two (2) hours spent in ADR. Thereafter, mediators, not employed by an agency having a contract with the Office of Court Administration, will be paid at the hourly rate they have listed on the Court Roster for mediation work. Billable time will include actual time spent in mediation sessions and up to one-half hour of pre or post preparation time for each scheduled session. Compensation exceeding more than $1,500.00 is subject to prior court approval.
Mediators' responsibilities may include:
• Coordinating with Court staff;
• Managing cases promptly and efficiently;
• Conducting mediation in accordance with the Model Standard of Conduct for Family and Divorce Mediation (www.afccnet.org/resources/resources_model_mediation.asp);
• Preparing mediation agreements and/or disposition forms in a format acceptable to the court; and
• Mentoring apprentice and student mediators.
To be eligible to receive a Court referral and be included on the Court's Roster of Mediators- Parenting Issues in Matrimonial and/or Family Court Matters, an individual must have extensive, relevant legal expertise in parenting issues or extensive professional training and expertise regarding parenting issues. Additionally, the individual must complete 40 hours of mediation training either conducted by a trainer whom the New York State Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs has certified or that the Office of Court Administration's Alternative Dispute Resolution Program deems to comport substantively with the curriculum guidelines promulgated by that office. The 40 hours of training must include at least 24 hours of training in mediation skills and techniques and at least 16 hours of additional training on the specific training on mediation of child custody and parenting issue matters.
Applicants must also document substantial recent experience mediating actual cases, preferably family matters. Substantial recent experience is defined as at least 150 hours of actual face-to-face mediation practice as either a solo or co-mediator within the last five (5) years or the applicant must document successful completion of a structured apprenticeship.
Appointment to the Court Roster is at the discretion of the Administrative Judge of the Eighth Judicial District in consultation with the Coordinator of the Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs. Admission will be competitive and will be based on each applicant's training, experience, education, and availability to mediate. Applicants may be required to participate in an interview process before a review committee appointed by the Administrative Judge. Applicants may be requested to complete additional training or experiential requirements prior to admission to the Court Roster if, in the opinion of the review committee, the applicant's mediation training and experience does not fully prepare them for mediator status.
Individuals who have completed the training requirement but do not meet the experiential requirement may be admitted as an unpaid apprentice mediator. Before being admitted to the Court Roster as a paid mediator, an apprentice must conduct two structured roleplay mediation sessions as a co-mediator under the mentorship of a mediator previously admitted to the program roster and observation of at least one mediation session involving an actual controversy between the parties; and mediation or co-mediation of at least ten (10) matters involving actual controversies between parties; and mediation or co-mediation of at least one case as the primary mediator followed by either a debriefing session with the coach or mentor or completion of a self-evaluation instrument.
An individual who has completed the minimum forty (40) hours of mediation training described above, may be provisionally accepted on the Court Roster on the condition that they complete all other requirements within six (6) months of their acceptance on the Court Roster of Mediators.
Pursuant to the Rules of the Chief Administrator of the Courts, 22NYCRR 146.3b, neutrals shall be redesignated to the court roster every two years. In determining whether to redesignate any neutral, the neutral must show proof of compliance with the requirement that they attend at least six (6) hours of additional approved training relevant to their respective practice areas every two years pursuant to 22 NYCRR 146.5. Mediators may also be removed from the panel at the discretion of the Administrative Judge in consultation with the Coordinator of the Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs.
Mediators may be removed from the panel at the discretion of the Administrative Judge in consultation with the Coordinator of the Unified Court System's Office of Alternative Dispute Resolution Programs.

HALIFAX - A Halifax container port was bustling Saturday after being shut down for more than a day when cylinders carrying radioactive material fell about six metres as they were being unloaded from a ship.
Calvin Whidden, senior vice-president for Cerescorp, said work at the Fairview Cove container terminal in the city's north end resumed at 8 a.m. Saturday after experts wrapped up their examination of the area and confirmed there was no leakage of granular uranium hexafluoride.
"(The experts) arrived at the terminal, went onboard the vessel and determined that there was no breach of cargo, no leakage whatsoever and cleared us to go back to work because there was no contamination whatsoever," said Whidden on Saturday.
The city's fire department said emergency crews left the scene around midnight Saturday after the investigation was complete and a 150-metre evacuation zone was lifted.
Whidden said workers would unload two container ships that had been waiting since work stopped on Thursday night, when four steel cylinders encased in concrete, each weighing about 4.5 tonnes, fell from a pallet as they were being lifted off the ship and landed in a contained area of the vessel.
Firefighters evacuated the immediate area as a safety precaution after the accident and the crew of the Atlantic Companion — which arrived in Halifax from Liverpool, England — were taken to a local hotel.
Whidden said the cylinders would be taken off the ship Saturday afternoon and would depart on a truck to their destination in Columbia, S.C., next week.
The port was expected to clear the backlog of work by Sunday afternoon, said Whidden.
"We were taking no chances and the safety of our employees and the local people were far more important than the delays of the ships," said Whidden, adding that the port's customers were understanding of the situation.
"Until we were totally, 100 per cent confident that everyone was OK to return, we wouldn't."
URENCO has said the cylinders came from its enrichment facility in the United Kingdom. Uranium hexafluoride is the chemical compound used in the gas centrifuge process to enrich uranium.
URENCO's website says it is an international supplier of enrichment services for nuclear fuel used to generate electricity.
The fire department said there was a similar incident at a Halifax port in the late 1990s involving uranium hexafluoride, but there was no leakage.

Andrea Miner and Becky Georgiades didn't set out to ride a revolution in home furnishings. They just found a niche and poured their passion into it. And they called it The Little Black Chair.
The pair were introduced at their kids' school a little over two years ago by friends who thought they'd be kindred spirits, what with Becky's long experience in painting furniture and Andrea's serial home-remodeling habit. From a booth of painted vintage furniture at a local antiques gallery, they've grown to a store in a Littleton bungelow called The Little Black Chair (5767 S. Rapp St.) There and in a spacious warehouse, the two women wreak their whimsy upon old furniture that has good bones, but needs a fresh vision.

The production model will have the dual headlights that the C4 Picasso introduced and the show car's uncluttered interior, with most of the passenger-compartment buttons and switches replaced by a large touchscreen.
Cactus "not one-off product," Citroen executive says.
FRANKFURT, Germany – Citroen hopes its upcoming C4 Cactus will wean car buyers away from traditional vehicle designs, particularly the interiors, that have been the mainstay of the market but now are losing market share.
The C4 Cactus, which goes on sale next year, is an attempt to be pure, to offer no more to the driver and passengers than "what really counts," says Pierre Monferrini, product manager-Citroen C-line.
The car unveiled at the auto show here is similar to the production model, he says. The Airbump side panels that protect the body from parking-lot dings and dents won't have light-emitting-diodes like the concept, and the gangsteresque windows won't be quite so chopped.
But the C4 Cactus will have the concept's horizontal top that recalls the Mini and DS3, and the same "look at me" exterior design. Although the concept is more compact than the C4, it is a little taller and the high shoulder line adds to the perception of robustness and security, Monferrini says.
The road car will have the dual headlights that the C4 Picasso introduced and the show car's uncluttered interior, with most of the passenger-compartment buttons and switches replaced by a large touchscreen.
This C4 Cactus is the second model to bear that name. In 2007, Citroen showed a Cactus concept that was brutally stripped to the essentials, eliminating such things as window controls. "That was extreme," says Monferrini. "People want a large touchscreen for navigation that is easy to use. (But) we have stopped the race for always having more in a car."
The production model, as with the concept, will be more compact than the C4 with which it shares a name. But Thomas d'Heussy, Citroen product manager, says the Cactus is "not a one-off product."
Future Citroens in the C-Line, conventional cars as opposed to the upscale Citroen DS line, will follow the general idea of concentrating features on what really counts in each segment. "People place less importance on power and more on usefulness," d'Heussy says. "They say they want to put their money towards things that are important to them."
The concept at the show is shown with PSA Peugeot Citroen's 82-hp gasoline engine linked to its hybrid air technology that uses a hydraulic motor to reduce fuel consumption. The car will launch with small gasoline and diesel engines with excellent fuel economy, says Monferrini. No decision has been made yet on when or if the hybrid air will be added.
The only real new technology on the show car is Airbump, a system of air bubbles trapped between sheets of tough plastic that will protect doors and bumpers from minor damage. The Airbumps will come in a variety of colors, as will the cars.
A particularly showy color has been chosen for the launch of the C4 Cactus next June, Monferrini says. Dealers who saw the car just before the Frankfurt show opened to the media approved the launch color unanimously, which is not always the case.
Monferrini declines to reveal the color, but a French website says it is a luminescent yellow-green.

BATON ROUGE — Voters don't often get a say in how politicians are allowed to file bills and make board appointments, but the Nov. 6 ballot offers a unique opportunity to do that.
BATON ROUGE — Voters don't often get a say in how politicians are allowed to file bills and make board appointments, but the Nov. 6 ballot offers a unique opportunity to do that.
Under a proposed constitutional amendment, lawmakers would have to file their retirement-related bills earlier in the year. Another would require that the newly drawn congressional districts be used as a guide for making appointments to a group of constitutionally created boards and commissions.
There are nine constitutional amendments on next month's ballot and these are among the few that — arguably — could have been accomplished with minor changes to state statutes, according to an analysis by the Public Affairs Research Council. While constitutional amendments require voter approval, changes to statutes, or state law, do not.
But PAR, a Baton Rouge-based nonpartisan research organization, stipulates in its report that these proposed amendments' related functions are located in the constitution, which is why the constitutional amendments are pending voter approval or rejection.
For example, Constitutional Amendment No. 7 targets the following boards and commissioners:
- Board of Regents
- Louisiana State University System Board of Supervisors
- Southern University System Board of Supervisors
- State Civil Service Commission
- State Police Commission
- University of Louisiana System Board of Supervisors
The constitution calls for balanced representation on these boards by requiring appointments from each of Louisiana's congressional districts. Louisiana, however, recently lost a congressional seat because of redistricting and the fact that the state failed to grow at the same rate as others.
House and Governmental Affairs Chairman Tim Burns, R-Mandeville, told lawmakers during the regular session the amendment is needed so the constitution can reflect the new political lines. If voters reject the amendment, Louisiana will be saddled with "outdated" political boundaries from which to choose its top board and commission members, said Burns, who authored the measure.
While the amendment may be needed to "avoid a nonsensical situation resulting from a direct conflict between the constitution and the new reality of reduced congressional seats for Louisiana," PAR's study suggested there's another side to the story as well: "A vote against might send a signal of growing voter impatience with the large number of constitutional amendments that continue to show up on the ballot and prod officials to begin a discussion about working harder to use the constitution as it was intended — as a framework — and to use the statutes to fill in the details."
Constitutional Amendment No. 3, meanwhile, would force lawmakers to file retirement-related bills roughly one month earlier than others prior to a regular session and double the amount of time dedicated to public notices advertising such bills.
Senate Retirement Chairman Elbert Guillory, D-Opelousas, pitched the amendment as an instrument of good government, explaining that retirement bills can be "lengthy and complicated." By moving up the filing deadline and expanding the public review process, Guillory said the general public in addition to the Legislature's actuaries would be better served with the additional time.
Currently, retirement bills are filed 10 days before the start of a regular session — a special designation given only to retirement bills — and the proposed amendment would change that to 45 days.
The constitution also calls for such bills to be advertised in the official state journal at least two times during the 30 days before they are filed. The proposed amendment would change that provision to three times during the 60 days leading up to the new filing date.
While the Council for a Better Louisiana, a Baton Rouge-based watchdog group, is supporting the amendment, it describes the proposal as a case of voters having to "make even minor or technical changes in fairly routine matters." The Legislature should have the authority to make its own rules about when and how bills should be filed and advertised, said CABL president Barry Erwin.
"If the Legislature wants the public and retirement actuaries to have more time to read and analyze retirement bills, CABL has no objection," he wrote in his analysis. "We support this amendment, but suggest a better approach might have been to fix the problem in the constitution that triggered the need for an amendment rather than keeping the filing requirement in the constitution and just changing the deadlines legislatively."

Mobile Payments Chicken-Egg Problem Goes to Committee
Aug 10, 2012 10:54 AM PT
While the promise of mobile payments still remains very much at the IOU stage, the Electronic Transactions Association on Thursday announced the formation of the Mobile Payments Committee, a task force that includes representatives from the four main U.S. carriers -- Verizon, AT&T, Sprint and T-Mobile -- as well as Google, Isis, PayPal, Verifone and Intuit.
The purpose of the committee is to develop a cohesive business strategy for the mobile payments industry, and to help legislators and regulators determine a mobile payments policy, while educating consumers and merchants about the benefits of mobile payments.
In other words, the committee aims to solve all the problems that have kept mobile payments from catching on in the U.S.
"Mobile payments represent a game-changing business opportunity for our industry, and ETA's mission is to help our member companies succeed in this business," said ETA Chief Executive Officer Jason Oxman.
"Our industry must work collaboratively to ensure that the regulatory and business environment promotes innovation and cooperation," he continued. "As the trade association of the payments industry, ETA is the hub of activity in mobile payments, and our Mobile Payments Committee will help ensure that consumers and merchants have access to an efficient, reliable and secure mobile payments system."
ETA declined to provide further details.
Not Getting Carrier'd Away
So far, the promise of mobile payments is more promise than reality, and whether this committee will meet the challenge has yet to be seen. One only needs to remember the proverb "a camel is a horse designed by a committee," to see where this could go.
"We have been trying to jump-start this mobile payments business for several years. Every once in a while another major announcement is made," said telecommunications analyst Jeff Kagan. "Each carrier, major banks, and assorted businesses have all tried. Still, it has not really taken off except for a few cases."
However, this isn't because mobile payments don't have merit for the consumer, the merchant and the carriers. In fact, their adoption is likely just a matter of time.
"The future is about mobile payments," Kagan told the E-Commerce Times. "It is successful in other countries. The USA is actually behind other countries. So it will happen. It's just a question of when."
This time could be the charm, especially as the players are finally sitting down and working it out. Whether the result is a camel or a thoroughbred has yet to be seen, but something will likely come of it.
"The purpose of this venture is to create a common, cross-carrier approach to mobile payments," said Mark Siegel, spokesperson for AT&T. "We think this approach will speed the adoption and growth of mobile payments, much as cross-carrier messaging spurred the growth of text messaging."
Why the Mobile Disconnect?
If everyone wants mobile payments to happen, the big remaining issue is what's stopping it? The reason is actually one of infrastructure and adoption. Here it isn't an issue of the camel, but rather the chicken and the egg.
"The big thing is getting the merchants and the carriers to build the infrastructure," said Chris Silva, industry analyst for mobile at Altimeter Group. "If I go to the local deli, they may not have the infrastructure in place yet, so I can't use my phone to buy a cup of coffee in the morning."
Therefore what needs to happen is a three-step process that includes getting the infrastructure in place, getting more handsets that can support payment solutions on the market, and finally getting consumers to reach for a handset instead of a wallet to pay for that cup of coffee.
Only when those things happen, Silva said, will mobile payments finally succeed.
"There is the realization that people want this and that it is something that people will use," Silva added.
Wild West and the Dark Horse
For now, the mobile payment space is akin to the Wild West -- without order. It is made worse by the fact that while many of the largest players have come together, one wild card remains.
"The dark horse is Square," said Silva. "They're looking to build their own mobile payment network. And it is still the Wild West on the consumer device side in terms of what devices will support mobile payments."
Just as technology helped tame the real Wild West via the telegraph and railroad, technology will tame the mobile payments space via handsets that support NFC (Near Field Communication).
"Each player has tried to make this work in their own corner of the business," said Kagan. "We have not taken a unified approach yet. Perhaps that is what is needed."

I believe most Yankees fans have this feeling. I think Joe Girardi is the reason for that. The audio of Joe Girardi regard for Joba's issue on Peter's blog tell it all. He said he has hard time to tell much, but he will tell the truth. This is part of post I wrote back to February about Girardi as follow,
Couple of things I saw so far from Girardi are great. I don't know he does them by nature or by design, but I like them. He makes sure to answer questions as short as he can. I believe the less he says, the less mistakes he makes and the less stories reporters or talk show hosts can write or talk about. He also said his message to players is simple: "healthy and care about him"
I also can tell couple of things about Joe Girardi' manager's style during spring training games so far. Joe Girardi will play a lot of small ball, pay attention stats or matchup, move runners, steal base and pitch inside to David Ortiz(retaliation? protect Yankees players? HA!).

Understanding Parallel Computing
Walter Frei October 7, 2014
People are always asking how the performance of COMSOL Multiphysics® simulation software will improve on a parallel system, especially now that large multi-core desktop computers are relatively inexpensive and it's easy to rent time on cloud services like the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud™. It turns out, though, that it's not always possible to get faster performance just by throwing more hardware at the problem. To understand why, let's take a conceptual look at computers and the algorithms COMSOL® software uses.Ler Mais
