Greg McDermott was like every other major college basketball coach three years ago. Among the two class of 2010 prospects at Ames (Iowa) High School, he most-coveted Harrison Barnes.
The other recruit was McDermott's son, Doug. McDermott, the Iowa State's head coach, didn't even offer his son a scholarship.
No worries. Doug didn't care to play in the Big 12, or for his father.
So while Barnes went big-time to North Carolina, Doug signed with Northern Iowa, the Missouri Valley Conference school at which his dad played and coached.
Then stuff happened. Life happened.
After four years without a winning record at Iowa State, after self-confessed mistakes in recruiting and player relations, Greg resigned and returned to his comfort zone: the Missouri Valley's Creighton.
Northern Iowa graciously released Doug from his letter-of-intent, allowing him to play for Greg and the Bluejays.
Sunday here in Greensboro, the story comes full circle as Creighton faces North Carolina in an NCAA tournament game showcasing two of the nation's top sophomores: Barnes and Doug McDermott.
Barnes is first-team All-ACC and a sure-fire NBA lottery pick. McDermott is first-team All-American and Division I's third-leading scorer at 23.0 points per game.
"Greg and I were standing outside the locker room when Ames won the state championship their senior year," North Carolina coach Roy Williams recalled Saturday. "And I said, 'You're crazy.' I said, 'If he's my son, he's going to play for me. He's good enough to play for you.' And that's when Greg was at Iowa State, and (Doug) had already signed that fall with Northern Iowa.
"And Greg said, 'Well, you know, I wish he were a little taller and a little stronger, and I don't really want to put that kind of pressure on him.' Which I can appreciate. But I said, 'I still think you're crazy,' because he would have been able to be a very successful player at Iowa State or North Carolina or anywhere. And then when he left and took the Creighton job, and (Doug) got the release and goes and plays for his dad, it was a great mix."
Greg McDermott said his decision not to recruit Doug for Iowa State was "two-fold."
"As Doug was improving during his high school years, I had conversations with a lot of coaches that had coached their sons, and some players that had played for their dads," Greg said. "Tony Bennett, Dick Bennett; Pat Knight, and his father, John Beilein; Tubby and Saul Smith. I had conversations with all those guys, and Homer Drew and Bryce as well.
"And almost to a man they felt if your son was going to be one of your best players, it would work fine. Or, if your son was a walk-on that never played, it would work fine. But if he is in the middle, if he's your fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth guy, it creates a lot of additional pressure for your son and for you as his coach.
"My responsibility to Doug as a father is to make sure that he chooses a situation where he's going to have the best experience. Now it might have been best for me to have Doug come to Iowa State, but I didn't feel at that point in Doug's development -- I don't think anybody saw this coming. And I've said it before, the culture that I had created with the program at Iowa State wasn't where I wanted it to be. I was constantly plugging holes because of guys transferring. And when you do that, it becomes a vicious cycle of things probably not going very well. And Doug was around it every day and I'm not sure that he was that excited to be part of it."
Safe to say, all in Omaha are excited about the McDermotts teaming at Creighton. They led the Jays to a 23-16 finish last season, and now they are 29-5 and back in the NCAAs for the first time since 2007 and looking to advance two rounds for the first time in program history.
"I think that the Missouri Valley is just a really good fit for him," Doug said of his father, "a mid-major conference, a really good league and I just think the Big 12 might have been a little bit of a wake-up call.
"I think he's more comfortable in the Missouri Valley Conference recruiting wise, and he just feels in his comfort zone, so he's really happy to be here. … It's been a fun ride so far."

Hi all,
Is it possible to implement some kind of floppy drive boot selector in CE ?
My CE replace my A: Floppy, so when i want to test or play on some real floppy disks i had to plug my external drive.
But most of the programs doesn't support to be executed from B:
I know there's an hardware mod that permits to select the boot drive but is this possible using only the CE plugged on the fdd connector? How hard would that be?
If we could not change the boot drive, perhaps the CE could have an option to channel all the fdd i/o requests from A: to B: ?
That would be a cool feature imho, to permit us to boot on real floppy again.

Newly proposed air quality regulations could dramatically alter the fleet of heavy-duty diesel trucks on California's roads and highways, including those used to transport farm inputs and harvested agricultural products.
New regulations in development by the State Air Board will require significant and expensive retrofitting of older diesel engines to bring trucks into compliance.
This includes seasonal diesel trucks used to transport harvested almonds and other agricultural commodities to and from the field and processing facilities. The new regulations may also impact delivery costs for farm inputs if suppliers pass on the cost of retrofitting their fleets to their customers.
Air Board staff are currently surveying diesel truck operators, including a separate survey for agricultural vehicles, to obtain information about truck ages, mileage, and vehicle use patterns in advance of submitting a formal proposal to the Air Board by mid-2008.
Commodity groups, such as the Almond Board of California, California Grape & Tree Fruit League, and California Cotton Growers and Ginners Association, are working to provide ARB staff with information on heavy-duty diesel trucks within their industries.
The Almond Board will be asking its members to provide information in advance of issuing a summary report to ARB. When asked, please take a few minutes to fill out these surveys to ensure your industry is accurately represented.
The new regulations are intended to move the State Air Board toward achieving mandates in the California Diesel Risk Reduction Plan to reduce emissions of diesel particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone forming nitrogen oxide (NOx).
The 2000 plan calls for a 75 percent reduction in particulate matter emissions by 2010, and an 85 percent reduction by 2020.
The Air Board also in late September adopted a new State Implementation Plan (SIP) for meeting federal clean air deadlines for ozone reduction under the Clean Air Act. That SIP calls for a 62-ton reduction in NOx from trucks by 2017 in the San Joaquin Valley and a 76-ton reduction by 2014 in the South Coast.
To achieve this, under the current proposal, heavy-duty diesel vehicle owners will have to either replace older engines or retrofit them with a Verified Diesel Emission Control Strategy to bring them into emissions compliance.
All on-road heavy-duty diesel vehicles with pre-2007 engines must eventually be brought into compliance through the use of "Best Available Control Technology (BACT)", such as emissions-reducing filters or exhaust recirculating systems.
The first phase of the current proposal would require trucks with diesel engines built before 1998 to be retrofitted to reduce NOx and particulate matter emissions to the equivalent of a 2007 model-year engine.
Truck owners will have until Dec. 31, 2009 to bring pre-1998 vehicles into compliance. Then, engine model years from 1998 to 2002 will have until the end of 2011, and so on, until all trucks with pre-2007 engines are in compliance by Dec. 31, 2013.
A second phase will require truck engines to meet emissions at or below a 2010 model-year engine by Dec. 31, 2020.
It is important that each sector in the ag industry provide input about their use of heavy-duty diesel on-road vehicles and what impacts proposed new regulations might have on the industry. ARB may consider the time of use in determining when a retrofit is needed for seasonal ag users.

Panhandling Prevention Moving Through the Process – Mayor's Blog
Parking Meters and other ideas to help curb panhandling are working their way to the Yakima City Council. A total of 12 'giving meters' are suggested as a pilot program, to be installed in downtown Yakima. The goal is to reduce panhandling. People can put money into these meters, and it will go directly toward organizations that provide services to the homeless population. The proposal goes through the Public Safety Committee on Friday.
Would you stop giving to pan handlers if you knew they were scam artists? Would you put money in these parking meters for charities that help the homeless. The idea of collecting money to address the real problem is one goal, also educating all of us that most panhandlers are not really down and out. What would you like to see done?

After reading Len Lear's article last week about the Queen tribute band concert at the Keswick Theater and the two Incredible Hulk-sized people sitting in front of Lear and his wife, Martha Haley of Haddon Township, NJ, but for many years a resident of Ardleigh Street in Chestnut Hill, wrote:
"Just read your piece on Queen. Last week during school spring break, my granddaughters and I went to Temple University to see Green Day. They are now Ryann Shemeley, age 10, and Regan, 9, and we are all large fans of Billie Joe Armstrong. Two and a half years ago, we saw them in Camden at that Tweeter place.
"As we waited/waded through a warm-up band from our excellent seats, second row, two enormous men (father-son fatheads) sat down in the front row. The girls were then separated by a phalanx of fat. Then the pair STOOD UP. The kids dissolved into giggles until Green Day hit the stage.
"But that is not the whole point. Still waiting for the band, music was playing on the sound system — Elvis Costello, the Ramones and then 'Bohemian Rhapsody' (the Queen classic). 'SHHHHHHHH,' I barked. 'LISTEN CAREFULLY!' Nearly everyone in the place was singing softly, respectfully, including Ryann, Regan and me. It was magical. Seriously. And 9,000 of us crooned, 'Nothing really matters to me!'
"Then a roar of the crowd as we applauded ourselves."

Florida's governor has appointed a new prosecutor to oversee the investigation into last month's shooting death of an unarmed black teenager.
Gov. Rick Scott late Thursday appointed Angela B. Corey to oversee the investigation into the death of Trayvon Martin.
"The governor called me late this afternoon and I accepted his request and we will begin tomorrow to look into the facts and circumstances in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin," Corey told Local 6's sister station, WJXT in Jacksonville.
She is the prosecutor for the Jacksonville area. Scott said this came after the local prosecutor for the central Florida county where the shooting happened, Norman Wolfinger, volunteered to recuse himself.
Corey said she has been prosecuting homicides for the past 25 years of her 30 year career and she and her staff will head down to Sanford Friday.
"It requires a thorough investigation, extensive interviews of every witness and extensive review of all evidence," Corey said. "And then a determination of how we apply Florida's law to the facts of any case."
Martin's parents have complained that the 28-year-old shooter, George Zimmerman, has not been charged after he claimed self-defense.
Scott also appointed a task force led by Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carroll to hold hearings about the Feb. 26 shooting and make recommendations for changing state laws and procedures.
The death has sparked nationwide protests, however Corey said she will not let that affect her investigation, or if it comes to it, a trial.
"Part of the problem is, as much as we love the public's interest and media's interest, one of the reasons we lay cases out fact by fact in front of jury is sometimes that's the only way for people to understand it," Corey said.

Two men who were found dead early this morning in Coolbaugh Township Park have been identified as Stroud Township residents who worked at United Envelope Company.
Two men who were found dead early this morning in Coolbaugh Township Park have been identified.
Bertoldo Velez, 55, a resident of Penn Estates, Stroud Township, was found dead on the ground beside the driver's door of the car, according to Monroe County Coroner Bob Allen.
Joseph N. King Jr., 38, also of Penn Estates, was found in the passenger seat of the 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier registered to Velez. Both were shot multiple times, Allen said.
Video: Coroner Bob Allen at the scene, talks about the shootings
The men were neighbors and both worked at United Envelope Company in the Mount Pocono Industrial Park and worked a 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. shift, according to Allen.
For an unknown reason they drove to the parking lot off Route 423 near the ballfield. Allen believes the confrontation occurred sometime before 10 p.m.
The township park is located on State Route 423 between the Tobyhanna Army Depot and Tobyhanna State Park.
A Pocono Mountain Regional Police Officer found the bodies when he was on routine patrol at 2:38 a.m. The car was partially obscured by trees,far down a gravel road.
Allen pronounced them dead at the scene shortly before 5 a.m.
Autopsies will be performed Saturday morning.
Pocono Mountain Regional Police Chief Harry Lewis said the shooting does not appear to be a random act of violence.
Lewis said no arrests have been made at this point.
Police Mountain Regional Police are leading the investigation with the Monroe County District Attorney's Office. Pennsylvania State Police assisted in the collection of evidence.
The car was taken by flatbed truck to the police impound lot at Pocono Mountain Regional headquarters, Allen said.

The Big Day of Serving made a big splash in Enumclaw Saturday.
On the first day of rain in many days in Western Washington, a Christian based event brought faith-based youth groups from across the state to Enumclaw to participate in providing service to the community.
Enumclaw resident, Brook Hickle, organized the event along with a 10 other local women.
The event began at 7 a.m. at the J.J. Smith gymnasium with teens and youth leaders gathering for prayer, a song and to hear the message of the day.
Only nine communities throughout the United States, and just two in the western United States, participated in this year's Big Day, founded by the organization Group Mission Trips.
Groups of youth leaders and teens gathered from as far away as Moses Lake, Shelton and Bremerton.
At about noon Hickle said, "The day has already turned out to be much more than I expected. My initial idea was to bring youth groups to serve and for them to go back and serve their communities. But I found out there is so much need in Enumclaw and so much is being done."
Hickle said there are four primary projects, painting the senior center, making senior resource kits, neighbors in need projects and working at J.J. Smith."
Michelle Pritchow said, "We are are trying to show each other we care and we are coming together to help each other. I love the message we are giving the young people and I love seeing God work in so many ways."
Mitchell Dubeau from Bremerton said, "It is a great way to show who Christ really was serving.
Mike Siegemund, a youth paster from Bremerton, said it was a "tremendous experience. I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."

|Aerial view of one of the three Thankful Villages in Wales, Llanfihangel-y-Creuddyn,
This summer Royal Commission staff member Medwyn Parry and co-rider Dougie Bancroft will be undertaking a motorbike journey to visit all 51 "Thankful Villages" in the United Kingdom. These are villages where there is no war memorial, because all of those who went away to fight in the Great War were fortunate enough to return home alive.
The trip will start at Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, near Aberystwyth, on 27 July 2013 and will finish at the same point nine days and 2,500 miles later, on 4 August.
There are three Thankful Villages in Wales – Llanfihangel y Creuddyn, Cardiganshire; Colwinston, Glamorgan; and Herbrandston, Pembrokeshire – where they also returned from the Second World War, making it the only "Double Thankful" village in Wales.
Medwyn has been amazed by the outstanding generosity of complete strangers who have embraced the spirit of the project. The aim is to raise £51,000 for the Royal British Legion. As far as he is aware, nobody has visited all 51 villages during one journey.
Those who live in the Thankful Villages are tremendously proud of their status. Medwyn & Dougie plan to meet with residents – especially descendants of those who returned from WWI.
The Welsh Government First Minister, Carwyn Jones, has issued a statement, giving his support to the ride.

This week on Moyers &Company (check local listings), Giroux explains that such a machine turns people into zombies - "people who are basically so caught up with surviving that they become like the walking dead - they lose their sense of agency, they lose their homes, they lose their jobs." What's more, Giroux points out, the system that creates this vacuum has little to do with expanding the meaning and the substance of democracy itself. D

A relatively snowfree January has allowed workers to pick up some lost ground on the $1.5 million expansion and renovation of the Mills County Courthouse.
Mills County Auditor Carol Robertson said Friday work had fallen about two weeks behind, but the absence of snowfall and unseasonably warm temperatures last week helped get the project back on track.
The status of Glenwood Community High School Principal Kerry Newman, who has been on paid leave since Jan. 18, was among the topics of discussion Monday in a meeting between Glenwood Superintendent Devin Embray and school board President Theresa Romens.
The East Mills wrestling team earned a pair of wins at the Clarinda Academy quadrangular last Tuesday.
The Wolverines knocked off East Union 66-18 and the host Eagles 60-24. East Mills' lone loss was a 39-34 setback to Bedford/Lenox.
Josh Hopkins (152 pounds), Cavin Darnold (145), Colby Jennings (160), Colton Story (195), David Howell (285) and Ben Christensen (106) all earned three wins for the Wolverines.

The Glenwood girls got 20 points from Grace Newman and 13 from Hailey Darrow in a 52-33 victory over Red Oak on Friday.
The Rams (9-5 overall, 7-2 in the Hawkeye 10 Conference) led throughout the game before pulling away in the fourth quarter.
"We had some good stops, we rebounded well and we made shots," Glenwood coach Barry Loeffelbein said. "Everybody seemed to knock down a shot in that run."

Two years ago, Angela Campbell was hired as director of the Glenwood Public Library. During her time in Glenwood, the library has seen some significant changes.
"During the interview process, they (the library board) talked about renovating," Campbell said. "Having just seen the two new libraries being built in Davenport, I was really excited for that. I was really happy to see a rather dull, unused space (the lower level) being turned into someplace lively."
The Mineola and Emerson post offices will remain open but at reduced hours as part of a U.S. Postal Service cost-cutting move to improve the organization's financial stability.
The plan keeps the existing post offices in place but with modified retail window hours designed to match customer use. Access to the retail lobbies and post office boxes would remain unchanged.
East Mills opened the game on a 36-6 run and never looked back in a 67-30 rout of Heartland Christian in Corner Conference boys basketball on Friday.
The Wolverines (9-3 overall, 7-2 in the conference) shot 50 percent from the field and grabbed 21 steals, while holding Heartland Christian to 26.8 percent shooting (11-of-41).
Colden Hillyer led East Mills with 13 points and nine rebounds. Keegan Wederquist added 12 and Joe VanSant 11.

Tupac's Mother Arrested on Drug Possession Charges
Afeni Shakur Davis, the mother of late rap legend, Tupac Shakur, was arrested earlier this month on drug possession charges in Lumberton, North Carolina.
ABC News reports that 63-year-old Davis was nabbed by state alcohol agents and hit with multiple charges on April 16, including felony possession of marijuana, maintaining a vehicle, dwelling/place for controlled substance and simple possession of a controlled substance.
Davis has been released on a $10, 000 bond and will return to North Carolina's Robeson County District Court for sentencing on May 10. The Lumberton native made a name for herself as a political activist in the Black Panthers movement in the '70s. But since her son's death, Davis has remained focused on business and charity endeavors, including founding the Tupac Amaru Shakur Foundation. The Georgia-based organization helps to provide art programs for children.
Davis' Amaru Entertainment company is currently caught up in a legal battle with film studio, Morgan Creek Productions to gain full rights to the long-awaited Tupac biopic. Amaru Entertainment filed a suit against Morgan Creek in 2009, accusing them of hindering progress with other interested movie studios such as Fox and Paramount.

My research and teaching explore questions around gender, culture, and history in modern Europe and especially France from the late 18th century through the mid 20th century. How did late capitalist French society represent and navigate cultural change by reworking traditional tropes of masculinity, femininity, labor taste, craft, and honor? I move between "high" and "low" culture – assessing French history through the lens of avant-garde eccentrics like Satie, Sand, and Baudelaire, as well as through turn-of-the-century popular press, songs, film, and pulp fiction.
My research interests cover three overlapping French historical movements–the fin de siècle, the belle époque, and the après-guerre. I am the author of Colette's Republic: Work, Gender, and Popular Culture in France, 1870-1914 (Berghahn, 2009), which explores Third Republican secular ideology and pedagogy through the work and performance of the writer (and music hall celebrity) Colette. My second book, Working Girls: Labor, Sex, and Taste in the Parisian Garment Trades, 1880-1919 (forthcoming, Oxford University Press), interrogates representations of female Parisian garment workers in popular culture, social reform, and labor activism from the 1880s through the interwar.
In addition to my study of modern European culture and society, I am honored to serve as the inaugural chair of Davidson's gender and sexuality studies program. I am also the co-founder and co-organizer of the Charlotte Area French Studies Workshop.
I teach courses on modern European culture and society, such as the history of the body, the rise of modern urban and consumer culture, modernism, and gender history. My courses include:

In the debate over how to avoid going over the "fiscal cliff" of tax increases and spending cuts, much rhetoric has focused on what President Barack Obama is proposing to do on income tax rates, but that's just a part of the overall revenue total the president proposed raising from higher-income earners in his budget blueprint.
Obama wants the top two marginal income tax rates to be 39.6 percent and 36 percent, instead of the current 35 percent and 33 percent.
Susan Walsh / AP
President Barack Obama speaks at the Rodon Group, which manufactures over 95 percent of the parts for K'NEX Brands toys, Friday, Nov. 30, 2012, in Hatfield, Pa.
But increasing the tax rates that apply to upper-income people is only a part -- less than a third -- of his longer-term tax proposal.
In the short run, Obama is urging the House to take up a one-year tax measure which the Senate OK'd earlier in the year on July 25.
"The Senate has already passed a bill to keep income taxes from going up on middle-class families," Obama said in his weekly radio address on Saturday. "Democrats in the House are ready to do the same thing. And if we can just get a few House Republicans on board, I'll sign this bill as soon as Congress sends it my way."
He said once that bill is signed, then "we'll have more time to work out a plan to bring down our deficits in a balanced way – including by asking the wealthiest Americans to pay a little more."
Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner elaborates on the details included in the administration's fiscal cliff spending cut proposals.
That Senate-passed bill which Obama wants the House to pass would do the following for one year, 2013:
- Extend income tax rates enacted in 2001 for individual taxpayers making less than $200,000, for heads of households making less than $225,000 and for married couples filing a joint tax return who make less than $250,000 a year.
- Raise the top income tax rates on taxpayers above those thresholds to 36 percent and 39.6 percent.
- Increase the tax rate from 15 percent to 20 percent on dividend income and capital gains income for taxpayers whose income exceeds the threshold amounts above.
- Extend for a year the American Opportunity tax credit, a temporary tax break to offset college expenses which was enacted in the 2009 stimulus law, and extend for a year several tax breaks for low-income people which were part of the 2009 stimulus.
- Extend for one year the $1,000-per-child tax credit.
Altogether, the Senate bill would reduce tax revenues by about $250 billion, compared to the amount that would be collected if the current tax law expires as scheduled at the end of the year.
But as Obama said Saturday, he wants to enact longer-term tax changes.
And his most detailed public offer on tax policy can be found in his Fiscal Year 2013 budget proposal and the July update of that proposal.
If Congress were to enact the Obama tax rate proposal, that is, reinstate the 36 percent and 39.6 percent income tax rates for single taxpayers making more than $200,000 and for married couples making more than $250,000, the president's Office of Management and Budget says it would reduce cumulative budget deficits over 10 years by nearly $430 billion.
To put that $430 billion in perspective, the deficit for fiscal year 2012 was $1.1 trillion. So the ten-year total of revenue gained from raising income tax rates on higher-income people -- $430 billion -- wouldn't eliminate one year's deficit, much less the deficits for the next ten years.
NBC's Mark Murray and Domenico Montanaro discuss the latest on the fiscal cliff negotiations now that the Democrats have presented their plan.
The Obama budget proposal calls for a much bigger tax increase on single people over $200,000 and couples over $250,000 -- a grand total of $1.4 trillion in deficit reduction over the ten-year budget period.
The tax rate increases account for only about 30 percent of the $1.4 trillion in revenue that the OMB says would be gained from Obama's proposed tax increases on higher-income people.
Where would the rest of the $1.4 trillion come from? From limiting deductions and other tax preferences for upper-income people and from increasing taxes on dividends and capital gains.
Obama would limit the ability of married taxpayers filing a joint return with income over $250,000 and single taxpayers with income over $200,000 to benefit from a wide assortment of tax breaks: not only itemized deductions but also tax-exempt interest, employer-sponsored health insurance, and retirement contributions to 401-k and other retirement accounts.
If more revenue is the goal, could this same principle – limiting tax preferences – also apply to taxpayers who make less than $250,000? Many Congressional Democrats – especially those who represent states such as New York with high state and local taxes -- are opposed to that idea. For taxpayers in such states the ability to deduct state and local taxes is an especially valuable tax break.
Although it doesn't seem to be part of the current bargaining between Obama and GOP Congressional leaders, there's another tax increase on upper-income people that the president will get on New Year's Day: the new broadened Medicare tax which will raise $20 billion in 2013 and nearly $40 billion by 2019.

One of the cool things about the JavaFX Mobile platform running on my HTC Diamond phone, is the easy integration with GPS. In this article, I will describe the most simple example I could come up with.
I have been working with GPS integration in Java code since more than 10 years
now. In most cases, I had to use the serial io provided in comm.jar
implementations (the one providing javax.comm.SerialPort and others).
Although this worked fine in most of the cases, the
amount of low-level code was high compared with the amount of functional
I have been a big supporter of JSR 179, the Location API for J2ME. This API provides a simple way for obtaining locations and it also provides some common functionality (e.g. proximity listeners). Until recently, I haven't seen much devices that contained a clean implementation of this API. But this is changing.
The JavaFX Mobile 1.2 for Windows Mobile platform contains an implementation of
JSR 179, and it works very well with JavaFX.
The following code example shows a simple JavaFX example showing the status of the built-in GPS and the latest known position. It probably violates some patterns, but the only goal is showing how you can obtain position in your JavaFX programs.
package com.lodgon.locationdemo; import javafx.stage.Stage; import javafx.scene.Scene; import javafx.scene.text.Text; import javafx.scene.text.Font; public var gpsStatus: String = "unknown"; public var lat: Number = 0.0; public var lon: Number = 0.0; var stage: Stage = Stage { title: "Location demo" width: 250 height: 120 scene: Scene { content: [ Text { font : Font { size : 16 } x: 10 y: 30 content: bind "gps status: {gpsStatus}" }, Text { font : Font { size : 16 } x: 10 y: 50 content: bind "position: {lat}, {lon}" } ] } } function run () { stage; var processor: LocationProcessor = LocationProcessor{}; processor.startReading(); }No magic in here, notice the
LocationProcessor class that
we instantiate and that will do the interaction with the GPS. This
instance will create a
and register a
with it.
When the status of the GPS is changed, the
method is called. The new status is assigned to the
variable in the
Main class and shown on the device screen.
Similarly, when a new position is detected, the
method is called, and the
lat and
lon variables
in the
Main class are changed.
package com.lodgon.locationdemo; import javax.microedition.location.LocationListener; import javax.microedition.location.Location; import javax.microedition.location.LocationProvider; import javax.microedition.location.QualifiedCoordinates; public class LocationProcessor extends LocationListener { var provider: LocationProvider; public function startReading() { provider = LocationProvider.getInstance(null); provider.setLocationListener(this, 10, 5, -1); providerStateChanged (provider, provider.getState()); } override function locationUpdated(provider: LocationProvider, location: Location) { if (location != null) { var coords: QualifiedCoordinates = location.getQualifiedCoordinates(); if (coords != null) { var lat = coords.getLatitude(); var lon = coords.getLongitude(); println ("[JVDBG] lat = {lat}"); Main.lat = lat; Main.lon = lon; } } } override function providerStateChanged(provider: LocationProvider, stat: Integer) { if (stat == 1) { Main.gpsStatus = "Available"; } if (stat == 2) { Main.gpsStatus = "Temporarily Unvailable"; } if (stat == 3) { Main.gpsStatus = "Out Of Service"; } } }For more information about JSR 179, see the Javadoc pages. You can easily change the update frequency (currently 10 seconds), timeout (currently 5 seconds), and other criteria. Also note that we actually should not do any processing in the interface callback methods. Since this is a simple example without much processing, I didn't use the javafx async threading mechanism for simplicity.

Revision as of 10:43, 20 August 2015
Snoopy is a program similar to Warcraft III Banlist, aimed at improving the experience of Warcraft III players on Battle.net. Though focused on hosting, snoopy can be useful for any users as it allows for pinging, location checks, friends list following, and more. Snoopy is a native program built to use with WarCraft III on Wine.
Snoopy can be found in the AUR as package snoopyAUR[broken link: archived in aur-mirror].
Getting started
Snoopy programs
Snoopy installs three programs in the
/usr/bin directory:
snoopy-shis a not so useful on arch script intended to run snoopy-nox for the current user. Ignore this.
snoopy-pingis a frontend to the ping command that snoopy uses to ping. Feel free to ignore this too.
snoopy-noxis the primary program that snoopy runs. This is all we're really going to worry about.
Executing snoopy
Snoopy can be executed in either of the following ways. The alias approach is a single-user solution, as opposed to the script which will work for all users.
Snoopy alias
A simple way to get snoopy working is to use an alias.
- First edit your .bashrc file, add the following line as a new line with your interface (for example "enp1s0"):
alias snoopy-sh-local='sudo snoopy-nox enp1s0 $(id -u) $(id -g)'
- For this time you have to run:
$ source ~/.bashrc
This command re-reads your .bashrc and is afterwards not necessary because your .bashrc is read on every login.
Snoopy script
You can make your own script to run snoopy-nox. It takes three parameters: your network device, your uid, and your gid. These are necessary because snoopy must be run as root. We'll make a launch script.
First, if you do not know your network interface run:
# ip a
to determine what it is. A typical default ethernet interface name is enp1s0.
How you make your script is ultimately up to you. In my example I get the user's uid and gid using
id -u and
id -g respectively. I set the interface explicitly, enp1s0. sudo is used because snoopy must be run as root. Here is an example script:
#!/bin/bash sudo snoopy-nox enp1s0 $(id -u) $(id -g)
When you've finished your simple script make sure it is executable:
# chmod 755 /usr/bin/snoopy-sh-local
Now snoopy should now work properly. It is up to you how you want to run it with regards to Warcraft 3. It shouldn't matter whether you start snoopy before or after Warcraft 3. Perhaps you'll want to change your script to run Warcraft 3 as well after snoopy starts.
Allowing sudo for snoopy
You might want to allow nopassword sudo for snoopy. First, edit the sudo config file:
# visudo
Add a line like the following. %wheel can be replaced with specific usernames if desired, otherwise it'll work for any users in the wheel group.
%wheel ALL=NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/snoopy-nox

Les Nabis: French Prophets of Modern Art, A Selection from the Robert L. Hoskins and Erwin A. Raible Collection of Fin de Siècle French Prints. A Gift of Elaine Rutowski Shay
"Petit Casino" Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Lithograph, 1893, 2008.487.112
Date and TimeTuesday, August 26, 2014
7:00 a.m. - 7:00 p.m.
- West Wall Gallery, L. V. Eberhard Center, Robert C. Pew Grand Rapids Campus
The word "Nabis" means prophet in Hebrew and Arabic and was a term applied to a rebellious group of young art students at the Académie Julian in Paris, France. The poet Henri Cazalis (1840 - 1909) coined the term "Les Nabis" by drawing parallels between these artists, who aimed to revitalize painting much as the ancient Jewish prophets rejuvenated Israel. This movement set an avant-garde pace for art, one that was distinctly different from the Impressionist painters who used small, thin brush strokes to emphasize accurate depictions of light.
Erwin Raible began collecting when he and his business partner opened cabaret and piano bar style clubs in New York City. A critical question they faced was, "what should the club's ambiance be?" One of the clubs Raible owned had chandeliers that resembled Paris' famed Moulin Rouge in the 1890s and Raible quickly thought of the artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec. Fin de siècle French prints became the collectors' focus.
GVSU acquired this collection of French Prints in 2009 and has made numerous reproductions since for display purposes. This French print collection today may be found on the GVSU Allendale Campus, Robert C. Pew Grand Rapids Campus, and the Detroit Center.

An Open Letter to the Federal Reserve
By Matt Koppenheffer and Morgan Housel
Dear Ben Bernanke and distinguished members of the Federal Reserve:
We are writing today to formally solicit your help in obtaining approvals to start a new bank holding company, Money Unlimited. We of course understand that the approval process for a new bank is typically done through the FDIC, but as the Federal Reserve plays a crucial role in our business plan, we hope that you can expedite the process.
First, let us assure you that we will start from day one as a very well capitalized institution, with no need to raise outside capital. While actual cash is on the lower end of the spectrum, we both own stock portfolios that we plan to use as collateral for our banking operations. Our current holdings include Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK-B), Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Procter & Gamble (NYSE: PG), and Coca-Cola (NYSE: KO).
For the purposes of this application, we are choosing to mark these assets to model rather than to market. Our basic assumptions include 7% U.S. GDP growth, 12% global GDP growth, a 4% U.S. unemployment rate, rising corporate profitability, U.S. debt repudiation, and the end of cloudy days.
In addition, Matt owns a home in Las Vegas. Though this asset is currently considered "under water" based on market valuations, a house down the street just sold for slightly more than Zillow.com said it was worth. We extrapolated that gain into infinity and determined the housing bust is simply a figment of the media's imagination.
Now the good news: Without getting into the complexities, our models show our combined net worths at just over $1 billion, all of which we'll use as capital for Money Unlimited. We hired a 22-year-old right out of college who's pretty darn good with Excel. He assures us it's a conservative figure.
While neither of us has any "formal" banking experience, our time-tested business model more than compensates for this apparent shortfall. As with Goldman Sachs (NYSE: GS), which was recently made a bank holding company, we have no plans to engage in actual banking operations such as deposit-taking and lending. That stuff just sounds hard. Regulators are always all, "You need to lend money to people who can pay you back." We'd rather just avoid that whole sticky situation altogether.
Instead, we're going to leverage our borrowings from the Federal Reserve to create a massive, money-spewing trading operation.
It's quite simple, really. We're going to borrow money from the Federal Reserve at 0%, then lend it back out to the U.S. Treasury at 3%. The Treasury can then use that money for fantastic programs like Cash for Clunkers. If we leverage our $1 billion asset base 20-to-1, we'll pull in $600 million in year one without breaking a sweat.
Because we want to do what's right for the economy, we plan to keep operating expenses to a bare minimum and limit our bonuses to $20 million each for the first five years. By plowing the remaining money back into the bank -- and, of course, leveraging it at 20-times -- we'll be able to grow like a weed. Assuming you folks at the Federal Reserve continue to do your part by lending money at 0%, we expect to clear $120 billion in assets in five years flat.
And don't worry about us. We understand that hard work and tangible economic contributions need to be rewarded, so in the sixth year of operation we both plan to take $500 million bonuses and use company money to buy ourselves private jets.
Money Unlimited will offer other significant benefits to the economy as well. We'll compete against banking organizations such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase (NYSE: JPM), and Citigroup (NYSE: C), who are no doubt engaging in similar practices. (Have you seen their earnings?) Plus, we'll allow other banks to buy credit defaults swaps against us. As any financial professional worth his salt can tell you, this "increases liquidity" and helps small businesses. We can't tell you exactly how that works, but salesmen who wear shiny cuff links and talk really fast tell us it's true.
But helping the economy isn't all we're about. As Goldman Sachs' CEO Lloyd Blankfein recently put it, this is "God's work," and we certainly don't disagree with that.
Before long, the founders of Money Unlimited expect our trading operations will become so large that we will be considered "too big to fail." While some may consider this a concern, we disagree. There should be more competition among "too big to fail" institutions so that the risk of a Chernobyl-type catastrophe in our financial system is spread more broadly.
Thank you for your time and we look forward to your help obtaining a speedy approval for Money Unlimited.
Matt Koppenheffer and Morgan Housel

Plurchase brauchte ein neues Website Design und hat einen Wettbewerb auf 99designs gestartet.
Aus 24 Designs von 8 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
We're recording a series of webcasts given by expert pediatricians on the topic of nutrition in gastro-related diseases. This new site, nutritionForPeds.com, is for doctors to view our presentations after they've been broadcast.
Pediatricians. We'd like the site, especially the homepage, to be recognizable as a site for pediatricians. (doctors + kids)
The trickiest part to the design of this site is the issue of sparse content. We'll initially have two archived webcasts, with three more scheduled. There will be a lot of room for background designs and illustrations or photos.
~~~ color and visual theme ~~~
The pediatricians giving the presentations are leaders in their fields and are 100% free to say what they want. However, we've decided to thank the sponsor by making visual ties to their portfolio and branding, such as colors and design theme.
We'd like the primary color palette to match those of the attached "colorsShouldSomewhatMatchTheseSlides.jpg"
The main visual theme should be somewhat associated to the attached examples:
* theme-example1.png
* theme-example2.png
~~~ artwork ~~~
There will be a lot of space for photos or illustrations, especially on the homepage. We're open to using stock photos (that are not too cheesy) and/or illustrations.
If illustrations are included, one possible direction would be to draw in the style of the attached examples. (See illustration-example1.png and illustration-example2.png) Not a requirement, but one possible direction.
We created first-draft wireframes for the Homepage and Detail pages. They're our attempt to get the idea across with somewhat realistic first-draft content. We're certainly open to other layouts if inspiration tells you something different.

yes, they do match and look great! (nobody has the right to decide what matches, what doesn't, what is fashionable… – it is the matter of our own perception)
