A Lump of Coal for Investors
11/29/2012 9:15 am EST
Focus: MARKETS
This winter will be one of discontent for most investors if they're on the long side of this market, since most indicators are pointing down for now and the near future, warns Jack Adamo in Insiders Plus.
Here's my take on what lies ahead for the immediate future: Although we may see an occasional reflex rally like last Monday's, the current slide will probably continue at least into the first week of December. That's when tax selling would normally let up. However, with the change in tax laws on capital gains, it could extend later into December.
Beyond that, the market's action will depend on early whispers about Q4 earnings, and whether there are signs of any real progress in the political stalemate. A recession and full-blown bear market are both real possibilities. Here are a few reasons I believe that.
For the last few quarters, the slow growth in corporate earnings has come mostly from cost-cutting (layoffs, idling plants, etc.). Revenue growth has been virtually nonexistent.
In fact, if you look at GAAP earnings (Generally Accepted Accounting Principles), which don't exclude all the alleged "one-time" costs that somehow occur almost every quarter, earnings have actually fallen for the last few quarters.
But by the third quarter, even the so-called "adjusted" earnings that Wall Street uses have been down. S&P 500 companies reporting so far showed an average decline in earnings of 1.9% in the third quarter. That number may get worse when the final tally is in.
Despite this obvious downtrend, analysts' earnings estimates for the fourth quarter still call for growth of 8.4%. There is zero chance growth will be even near that. More likely, earnings will be lower again in Q4, and flat to negative for another couple of quarters after that. The market will probably manage only short reflex rallies until this trend plays itself out.
Tax Selling
All the major indices are still in plus territory for the year, but many (maybe most) individual components of them are not.
These indices are either price- or capitalization-weighted, meaning that the largest companies move the index more than the smaller ones. A dollar movement in Apple, for example, may move the Nasdaq more than a dollar movement in 20 smaller Nasdaq companies combined.
Hence, there may be more tax selling of stocks that are underwater year-to-date than the indices would suggest. Tax-selling pressure tends to ease up around the first or second week of December, but till then, it's likely to drag on the market.
QE Bust
Since 2009, Wall Street traders have been jumping like trained seals every time the Federal Reserve hints that there will be more Quantitative Easing, the shop-worn euphemism for printing more money. But August's big QE-induced rally stopped short after just a few weeks.
Fewer investors now buy the story that printing money can fix all ills. Even with a promise to buy $40 billion a month in mortgage-backed securities and Treasuries, the stock market doubts QE can prop up the house of cards much longer.
Real World Happenings
On Main Street America, far from Wall Street's parlor games, new initial unemployment claims jumped 78,000from last week. That's a huge number. And unadjusted claims jumped 103,000 year-over-year, another huge number. It is only the second time since May 2011 that there has been a year-over-year increase in unadjusted claims.
Employment statistics tend to lag the economy, hence they are actually not the best indicators for predicting recessions, but they're another voice in the chorus that says caution remains the byword.
The one mitigating possibility I see that countervails these factors is the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy. Disasters like these can cause a bump in GDP in the following quarter or two, as economic activity picks up to repair the damage. Employment in the building trades is the first of the obvious areas to benefit. If GDP figures improve enough, that might change the tone of the markets.
Still, the overall weight is toward further market weakness. As we've seen in the past, I'm a lot better at finding good companies to invest in than I am timing the market. So, although I believe the market is headed south for the winter, or longer, I'm not going to try to put on any additional hedges at this time.

BAYFIELD Eight Bayfield High School students got a practical introduction to urban firefighting Friday when they watched two dilapidated cabins go up in flames in the Forest Lakes subdivision.
The 500-square-foot A-frames, built in the mid-1970s by a developer to sleep potential lot buyers in the 1,600-acre subdivision, long ago had outlived their original purpose.
This is instruction in fire behavior, said Randy Larson, deputy chief of operations for the Upper Pine River Fire Protection District. At the end of the semester the students will be qualified with parental permission to participate in live fire suppression.
The juniors and seniors are enrolled in Fire 101, a Monday-Wednesday-Friday class of three hours each session. But it was all book learning up to Friday.
As flames and smoke visible through the front door took over the cabin, Larson explained the mechanics of a structure fire. He explained what different colors of smoke indicate, the different modes of ventilation and what happens in a flashover when all interior materials reach ignition temperature at the same moment.
Among the points he made:
The smoke tells you whats happening. Flames reveal only that something is burning.
A firefighter caught inside a structure in a flashover has about 5 seconds to live.
One gallon of water produces 1,700 gallons of steam. You have to know how to apply water to avoid steam burns.
Larson estimated the interior temperature of the blazing A-frame at 2,400 degrees.
In 27 minutes, the A-frame was only a roof supported by burning posts. At the 45-minute mark, the structure collapsed, leaving only a pile of flaming rubble.
Students Brandon Freedman, Tyler Meyers, Geoff Pope, Mike Kingan, Nate Goddard, Matt Eckstein, John Arnold and Austin McMenimen, all outfitted in firefighter garb, were impressed.
McMenimen and Goddard used the same words to describe their impressions of exercise: I was amazed at how fast the flames took over the building.
The three A-frames are among 12 that will be used by Upper Pine firefighters for training. Four were burned Thursday and the remaining five either will be burned soon or saved for future training, Larson said.
The elimination of the nearly 40-year-old cabins brings the end of an era.
If they werent occupied by prospective buyers, the developer rented them to a residents visitors for a night, said Dale Kortz, manager of the Forest Lakes Metro District.
In the late 1990s the developer, Southwest Properties, based in Mesa, Ariz., surrendered 14 cabins and the 15 acres they sat on to the federal Resolution Trust Corp., which sold the property at auction.
Resolution Trust was a government agency charged with liquidating insolvent real estate holdings. The buyer of the Forest Lakes property turned the A-frames into monthly rentals until she went bankrupt herself in 2011, Kortz said.
The Metro District, with an eye to developing a Community Wildfire Protection Plan, bought the 15 acres and 12 cabins two had burned accidentally and removed asbestos from the cabins, then donated them to Upper Pine, Kortz said.
District officials worried that if the collection of A-frames caught fire the 770-home Forest Lakes subdivision could be in trouble, Kortz said. The cabin area was a high priority for mitigation.
The wildfire protection plan was completed and certified in 2010, he said.
The last phase of the project is leveling the structures and preparing the terrain for a recreation area with a ball field and picnic facilities for Forest Lakes residents, Kortz said.

However, the Puja became an ordeal as the Pandit who has volunteered to bring all the samagri,failed to do so at the last moment, which eventually resulted in a situation of panic and we had to run around in local kirana stores in an area alien to us to procure at least the basic items required, unfortunately compromising greatly on price and quality.

The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that approximately 35,000 Deer Management Permits (DMPs) will be issued to hunters who were previously denied permits during the initial application period earlier this fall. Leftover DMPs will also be available in several Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) beginning November 1, 2013.
The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) today announced that approximately 35,000 Deer Management Permits (DMPs) will be issued to hunters who were previously denied permits during the initial application period earlier this fall. Leftover DMPs will also be available in several Wildlife Management Units (WMUs) beginning November 1, 2013.
Deer Management Permits, which allow hunters to harvest antlerless deer, are issued for specific WMUs to control deer populations. In order to provide DMPs at point-of-sale locations DEC must anticipate the number of applicants in each WMU and assign a probability to each unit in order to issue the appropriate number of permits. This year, DEC received fewer permit applications than projected in many WMUs.
To issue the remaining DMPs under Governor Cuomo's New York Open for Fishing and Hunting initiative, DEC randomly selects applicants who were previously denied permits in these affected units during the initial application period. DEC completed the selection last week and has begun mailing permits to selected applicants.
The NY Open for Hunting and Fishing Initiative is an effort to improve recreational activities for in-state and out-of-state sportsmen and sportswomen and to boost tourism opportunities throughout the state. This initiative includes the streamlining of hunting and fishing licensing and reducing license fees, improved access for fishing at various sites across the state, and increasing hunting opportunities in various regions.
In addition to those who were previously denied permits, applicants from the following WMUs may receive DMPs (the approximate number of permits to be mailed is in parenthesis). For WMU locations, refer the 2013-14 Hunting and Trapping Regulations Guide or visit DEC's website at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/8302.html.
· Hudson Valley Region: 3C (400), 3F (900), 3G (640), 3H (500), 3J (360), 3K (120), 3N (660), 3P (400)
· Capital Region: 4B (60), 4C (190), 4F (970), 4G (540), 4H (310), 4K (200), 4O (310), 4P (670), 4R (70), 4T (820), 4U (70), 4W (200), 4Y (700), 4Z (120)
· Adirondack Region: 5R (230), 5S (480), 5T (50)
· Western Adirondacks/Eastern Lake Ontario Region: 6C (60), 6K (780), 6P (710), 6R (550), 6S (340)
· Central New York Region: 7A (530), 7J (1300; all denied applicants), 7M (1890), 7P (470), 7R (3240), 7S (560)
· Western Finger Lakes Region: 8M (370), 8P (540), 8S (470), 8T (600), 8W (560), 8X (1570)
· Western New York Region: 9H (3500), 9J (1300), 9K (640), 9M (1360), 9N (1550; all denied applicants), 9P (570), 9T (230), 9W (1110), 9X (220), 9Y (240)
Hunters not selected for a DMP will not receive a mailing from DEC. Selection for one of these permits will not affect any preference points issued to hunters who were not selected for their first choice area during the original application period.
Additionally, in some WMUs, all applicants received permits during the initial application process or correction process, however, the DMP target was still not reached. In these units, DEC will reopen the DMP application process on a first-come, first-served basis. Hunters may apply for leftover DMPs at any DEC license sales outlet beginning Nov. 1, 2013. Leftover DMPs will not be available by phone, by mail or via the internet. Applicants who previously paid the $10.00 DMP application fee or those that are exempt from the application fee will not be charged for this additional application.
Applications for leftover DMPs will be accepted for the following WMUs:
1C, 3M, 3R, 3S (bowhunting-only), 7F, 7H, 7J, 8A, 8F, 8G, 8H, 8J, 8N, 8R, 9A, and 9F.
During this extended application period, DEC will issue DMPs for an individual WMU all day. The status of permits will be reviewed each night. As individual units are filled, they will be removed from the list of those available effective the following day, with no further applications accepted for those units. A list of units with available leftover DMPs will be routinely updated at www.dec.ny.gov/outdoor/6399.html.

The second installment of Making a life in Addison County profiles a very different story of a young adult in the local community. Carolyn Griggs, 23, grew up in Lincoln and went to Castleton State College to study elementary education. After she graduated last year, she moved back into her family's Lincoln home, and got a job assistant teaching at Addison Central school.
In the next few years, she thinks she will have to leave Addison County to find a full time teaching job and get her master's degree in teaching. Eventually, though, wants to settle down in the Lincoln area permanently — her family and the area's sense of community are big draws.
You've seen the headlines, you've heard the personal stories from friends and neighbors: Vermont needs to create more opportunities for its young people or else they will leave the state. But many young adults choose to stay here and many others return after a few years away.
The "Making a life in Addison County" series will take a closer look at the lives of the 7,000 people between ages 20 and 34 who live in this county. What are they doing? Why did they stay or come back? How are they making it? Among other things, the series will look at the effect of the tough job market on the lives of young adults, whether they plan on remaining in the area and how they see the future of Addison County.
It will include profiles in the newspaper, and a weekly multimedia profile. Find them here.
And if you have a story that deserves to be told about your decision to make Vermont your home, we want to hear from you. E-mail tips and ideas to [email protected] or call 388-4944.

Can I use a microwave during pregnancy?
– Alicia
Yes. There are no medically proven risks to microwaving. According to the World Health Organization, they're safe for cooking when used according to the manufacturer's instructions. Microwaves rarely leak radiation, and if they do, it's in extremely small amounts that are virtually undetectable.
If you're concerned, you might want to make sure your microwave is working properly and isn't leaking or hasn't been modified or damaged. You also should keep the door seals clean. As an added safety precaution, stand a few feet away from a microwave oven when it's operating instead of directly in front of it, since microwave energy decreases greatly as you move away from the source of radiation.

ACM Party for a Cause Festival Combines Country Music With Charitable Giving
The only thing better than hanging out outside and watching your favorite country artists perform is doing so with a good conscience. The Academy of Country Music's Party for a Cause Festival in Las Vegas brings The Band Perry, Dierks Bentley and other ACM-nominated artists to a festival that will benefit a number of non-profit organizations.
The Perry trio and Bentley will headline the festival on April 5 and 6, with Florida Georgia Line, Justin Moore, Brantley Gilbert, Dustin Lynch, Hunter Hayes and several other artists joining the lineup, too. The entertainment is sure to be top-notch, but these country crooners are all gathering in the name of raising money for several charities.
Friday's lineup--which will be capped off with an evening performance from The Band Perry--will benefit Outnumber Hunger. This initiative from General Mills, Big Machine Label Group and Feeding America helps to secure meals for a network of local food banks. In between shows, festival attendees will have the opportunity to clock some volunteer hours by participating in on-site activities that will help Feeding America provide food for the hungry.
On Saturday, Kix Brooks will present charitable gifts to military-inspired non-profit organizations like Wounded Warrior Project, Folds of Honor and Nellis Air Force Base Youth Education Programs.
"Party for a Cause Festival is adding another layer to The ACM Experience for fans to celebrate country music, as well as learn more about these very deserving organizations," said Bob Romeo, CEO of The Academy of Country Music, in a statement. "The Academy has a long history of supporting charitable causes, and we're honored to be partnering with Big Machine Label Group and these talented artists for such a worthy endeavor."
Sounds like this is one outdoor festival worth attending. Does get any better than good music and good deeds? To learn more about tickets and accommodations for the ACM Experience, click here.

While we wait for Samsung to unveil new products to the world, Notebook Italy has managed to get hold of some information and images of the ATIV Book Q, ATIV BOOK 9 LITE and ATIV Book 9 PLUS. These Windows 8 devices looks very much like other Windows hardware already available, which isn't a bad thing. Let's jump in and take a look.
The website shows off a sliding tablet / laptop with a bracket enabling the screen to move into 4 positions. Say hello to the ATIV Book Q (see above). Some specifications were also bundled, including a Quad HD 13.3-inch (2560x 1440pixels, 600 nits and 276 PPI) display. With a weight of just 1.2Kg, we're looking at some serious components. Intel Core i5 (4200U), integrated graphics, 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Running Windows 8, owners will be able to take advantage of a HD camera, WiFi, Bluetooth 40, USB 3.0 and HDMI.
The ATIV Book Q from Samsung is a convertible and is said to be launching in the coming week and will be priced at €1,500.
Next up is the ATIV Book 9 LITE and PLUS. These two ultrabooks will offer a choice between power and mobility, with the lite and plus variants sporting respective specifications to match the customer's requirements. Starting with the ATIV Book 9 LITE, we're looking at a 13.3-inch multi-touch display, AMD A6 APU, 4GB RAM and a 128GB SSD. Pricing is said to be around €497.83 excluding taxes.
As for the ATIV Book 9 Plus, you're looking at the exact same setup as the LITE version, but this ultrabook will sport a dual-core i5 (4200U) - same as the ATIV Book Q, as well as the same high resolution as the ATIV Book Q. Pricing will also be the same as the Q and will hover around the €1,000 mark.
Stay tuned for more details as the events progress.

Hamlin back in the car at Talladega
Talladega, AL – Denny Hamlin drove his No. 11 Joe Gibbs Racing Toyota for the first time on Friday at Talladega Superspeedway since he suffered a serious back injury during a crash on March 24 at Auto Club Speedway in Fontana, Calif.
Hamlin participated in the first of two practice sessions at Talladega, posting the seventh quickest lap at 199.317 mph.
On Thursday, Hamlin was medically cleared to participate in this weekend's activities at Talladega, which includes at least starting Sunday's 500-mile Sprint Cup Series race here. The JGR driver has missed the last four races -- Martinsville, Texas, Kansas and Richmond -- since he sustained a compression fracture in his lower back at Fontana.
Hamlin spent a good portion of the opening practice running laps around the 2.66-mile Talladega track before he returned to the garage area. Brian Vickers, who substituted for him the past three weeks, finished practicing for the team. Vickers will be on stand by as Hamlin's relief driver during Sunday's scheduled 500-mile race.
"There's no discomfort inside the car at all," Hamlin said. "The most discomfort I have is getting out of the car. That's why we're choosing to go through the roof hatch instead of the window. It's much easier on me. Any twisting that I don't do will be good. Inside the race car, I feel just as good as I did six or seven weeks ago. I'm really excited about this weekend and finally getting back again."
Hamlin is not sure at what point of the race he will hand the car over to Vickers. It's likely he would get out of the car and let Vickers drive it whenever the first caution period occurs. Hamlin said he plans to fall way back in the field to a safe running position where he would not be caught up in a major wreck, if one were to happen.
"I'm obviously going to put myself in what I believe will be a safe position," he noted.
Hamlin believes that playing it safe at Talladega will give him one more week of healing before the series runs its next race (also 500 miles in length) on May 11 at Darlington Raceway. By starting Talladega, Hamlin will receive the full points based on where the No. 11 finishes in the event.
Hamlin and Vickers have practiced their driver change. When Hamlin will exit the car through the roof hatch, Vickers will get in it through the driver's window. Both drivers are hopeful the change will be completed in about 60 seconds.
Right now, Hamlin is 28th in the point standings. He is 71 points behind the 20th-place driver (Kurt Busch) and 126 away from the 10th spot (Paul Menard). The top-10 drivers in points at the conclusion of the regular season (Sept. 7 at Richmond) qualify for the Chase for the Sprint Cup championship. The two wild card positions go to those drivers between 11th-20th in points that have the most wins. There are 17 races remaining before the Chase begins.
"I'm excited about the challenge," Hamlin said. "Our Chase has got to start right now. We've got to perform each week like it's a Chase race, and do everything we can to get wins. If we don't win, it really doesn't matter."
Hamlin has made the Chase each year since his rookie season in 2006.

What we know:Vid 1:9 Countries25,000 Miles2 Million $$Cast Reveal: This season, which marks the 21st race around the world for the series, will introduce a new twist to the game that will raise the stakes for the entire season. If the Team that wins the first leg of the season can outrace the other 10 Teams and win the final leg of the Race, they will double their money and win a $2 million grand prize instead of $1 million. Teams will travel through three continents, nine countries and cover more than 25,000 miles, where theyll be faced with a 10-story rappel in Los Angeles, frying an egg on their heads in Indonesia, working as rat collectors in Bangladesh and revisiting one of the Races most infamous Roadblocks in the Netherlands in this seasons Switchback.
So 2 roadbloacks this leg?I assume the Yuanshen sports center is where the table tennis roadblock must have occured. Actually, I like the idea of both team members having to do a roadblock in the first leg. Given that for the first time there is a possible $2mil if they win the first leg (and the final one). So the team that wins has to show that both competitors are strong.
A start line video - I don't think there is anything new here...

RDF::AllegroGraph::Easy - Simplistic Interface to AllegroGraph HTTP server
my $storage = new RDF::AllegroGraph::Easy ('http://my:secret@localhost:10035');
my $model = $storage->model ('/scratch/catlitter', mode => O_CREAT);
$model->add (....); # add stuff
$model->delete (...); # get rid of stuff
my @tuples = $model->sparql ('SELECT ...'); # query it
$model->disband; # remove the whole thing
The idea of this interface is to concentrate on the essentials:
how to get a handle to a remote tuple store (see RDF::AllegroGraph::Server for details)
how to get RDF content into that model (see RDF::AllegroGraph::Repository for details)
how to query the model (see RDF::AllegroGraph::Repository for details)
Currently this abstraction layer supports v3 and v4 AG server, albeit with many omissions.
[changed v0.6]
The constructor expects one parameter which is interpreted as HTTP endpoint for your AllegroGraph server. If left
undef, then the default
http://localhost:10035 will be used.
NOTE: No trailing slash!

The Tocqueville Center at the University of Minnesota is a new organization devoted to the study of liberty and free institutions. It also aims to promote intellectual diversity on campus by creating a forum for the discussion of heterodox ideas in a congenial setting, with upcoming speakers scheduled to include Victor Davis Hanson and Michael Novak.
Next Wednesday, February 15, at 12:15 I'll be speaking with Eric Black of the Minneapolis Star Tribune at a Tocqueville Center forum on blogging and journalism at Room 25 of the University of Minnesota Law School. King Banaian of SCSU Scholars will serve as the moderator of the program. Pizza will be provided. The event is co-sponsored by the Federalist Society and is both free and open to the public. Please join us if you can.
Eric Tam of the Yale Law Journal symposium team writes to announce the journal's timely symposium next month:
From March 24-26, The Yale Law Journal will be hosting a symposium on executive power titled "The Most Dangerous Branch? Mayors, Governors, Presidents, and The Rule of Law." It will cover a wide range of topics, from the scope of the President's war-conducting powers to mechanisms for limiting the reach of state attorneys general to mayoral attempts to act as independent constitutional interpreters. Through a comparison of executives at multiple levels of government, the symposium will attempt to better understand the nature of the executive role.
Participants will include: Professor John Yoo, the influential (and
controversial) former Bush Administration attorney; Professor Neal Katyal, who will be arguing Hamdan v. Rumsfeld, this term's most anticipated Supreme Court case; Dean Elena Kagan of the Harvard Law School; and Dean Harold Koh of the Yale Law School.
The discussions should be lively and timely, given the increasing public interest in the limits of executive power and the wisdom of the unitary executive.
If you would like to register for the conference or to obtain further information, please do not hesitate to email us at [email protected] You can also obtain more information on the conference at www.yalelawjournal.org/symposium.
I hope we will be able to assign our New Haven correspondent to cover the symposium. It looks like an event of great interest.

From bandanas to bikinis, fans showed their love of America as they line danced and two-stepped to country stars like Shelby Lynne, Jason Aldean and Don McLean. Many shirtless cowboys even used the American flag as a cape of sorts, the flag whipping behind them as the windy festival days raged on.

A Modern Primitive Discussion
A lot can be said — and a lot has been said — about Java's inclusion of primitive types. You know, types like
int, long, byte, char, and so on (eight of them in total). And in some cases, people like to throw
String in there because it acts a little like a primitive since it's immutable. However, the
String class isn't a primitive since it's truly a class and hence renders true objects when instantiated. But I digress.
Why are they there, when Java is purportedly an object-oriented language? Here are the main reasons:
- Primitives are comfortable (coming from C/C++)
- They're fast! Here's why:
- The stack frame contains the actual value, which can be operated on directly. With objects, however, the stack frames contain references into the heap, which contains the value(s).
- With primitives, there's no garbage collection.
- Speed of operations is faster as the value is right in the stack — again, there's no object dereferencing.
- The available operators are fixed, hence there's no ambiguity.
However, the fact that Java also includes Object-ified versions of primitives (i.e. Integer, Boolean, and so on) can lead to some confusion. So, beyond the confusion to beginners as to the differences between
int and
Integer, why is having primitives in Java problematic? In fact, the auto boxing and unboxing features of Java (introduced in Java 1.5) help to eliminate or at least "smooth out" these differences. For example:
Before autoboxing:
int meaning=42; Integer theMeaning = new Integer(meaning);
int meaning=42; Integer theMeaning = meaning;
...or just:
Integer theMeaning = 42;
Before unboxing (which is really just the reverse of auto boxing):
Boolean ready = new Boolean( true ); if ( ready.booleanValue() == true ) { /* … */ }
Boolean theCondition = new Boolean( true ); if ( ready ) { /* … */ }
However, a lot of confusion remains. For example, you create objects using the
new keyword, and use the dot-notation to pass messages (or call methods on) the resulting objects. Neither apply to primitives. This means that operators such as ++ work directly on the values of primitives, while they (kind of) result in method calls on objects. This isn't much of a problem, really, except that with objects, you never work directly with the data, hence the variable itself doesn't change. This means that you have a chance to bounds check or otherwise perform some error checking before the value is modified. With primitives, you do not.
Things get a little more confusing, and error-prone, when you tell a new Java programmer that you can compare two primitive types as such:
int i = … int x = … if ( i == x ) { /* … */ }
But you cannot do this with
String (or other) objects, because it compares the object references themselves, not necessarily the data they represent. For example, the following will yield unintended results:
String root = "Eric"; … String user = "Eric"; if ( user == root ) { /*…*/ } // Not what was intended
Instead, you need to do the following:
if ( user.equals( root ) ) { /*…*/ } // Good!
With other objects, this gets even more ambiguous and error-prone:
Boolean conditionOne = new Boolean(true); Boolean conditionTwo = new Boolean(true); if ( conditionOne == conditionTwo ) { /*…*/ } // Error!!!

RenderScript in Android - why should you care?
If you search the web for RenderScript, you won't get too many hits. This is due to the fact that RenderScript is really just the Google name for the technology which is based on two powerful software packages: the clang compiler and the LLVM "virtual machine". Clang is a C/C++ front-end compiler and is a strong challenger to gcc. RenderScript code is processed by clang and is turned into LLVM bytecode. LLVM is not a virtual machine in a strong sense as it does not "execute" this bytecode. Rather, it provides a second compilation step when it turns the LLVM bytecode into machine code of the target processor.
Much like Android's new runtime, the ART, LLVM is an Ahead-of-Time compiler. The second compilation step either happens on the developer's machine or directly on the device. The first option means that the Clang-LLVM toolchain generates code for 3 processor families: ARM, MIPS and Intel so your APK file already contains native code generated from RenderScript code for these processors and no further compilation is needed on the device. RenderScript code may run on graphical co-processors and other DSPs, however. In this case the on-device LLVM compiler accesses the LLVM bytecode which is also packaged into the APK file and may generate code for these specialized processors at install time.
So if you write RenderScript instead of native implementation with the traditional NDK toolchain, you get the performance of the native code, support of many processor architectures including more exotic GPUs and DSPs without any hassles, get a simpler integration with the Java code and a much smoother integration with the Eclipse developer environment.
RenderScript appeared in Android 3.0 and supporting Java packages reside under the android.renderscript hierarchy. This is called native RenderScript. Google, however, backported the feature to Android 2.2 (and higher) and this backported version is now the recommended way. Instead of being part of the platform, RenderScript support now resides in a support library and is under the android.support.v8.renderscript package hierarchy. Functionality of android.renderscript and android.support.v8.renderscript are largely similar.
Even though the RenderScript runtime is general-purpose, Google positions the technology as a solution for specific tasks. The RenderScript tutorial, for example, concentrates mainly on the filtering runtime that executes a RenderScript function - so called "kernel" - on a large number of data items. This assumes a certain class of algorithm, i.e. when the output of the algorithm depends solely on the input and not on some intermediate result of the computation. Simple convolution filters (e.g. the 2D filters used widely for image filtering) are such algorithms and therefore they are very suitable for parallel execution on multiple CPU cores. We will see, however, that RenderScript can be exploited to speed up algorithms that do not fit into this computation model.
In the next post I will present our benchmark program.

There is another option that needs mention in regard to parallel programming which is OpenCL. It has wide industry support at all levels from hardware vendors and is burgeoning on mobile / Android.
You definitely reference some serious concerns:
>This assumes a certain class of algorithm, i.e. when the output of the algorithm depends solely on the input and not on some intermediate result of the computation.
>We will see, however, that RenderScript can be exploited to speed up algorithms that do not fit into this computation model.
As things go Renderscript does not allow advanced parallel programming because it does not support features necessary to do advanced algorithm development in a work efficient manner. It can handle basic 2D processing of data, but anything more than that and things quickly go downhill. For instance it's impossible to do anything that requires parallel scan techniques which is the gateway to intermediate / advanced parallel algorithms.
Another concern is the amount of bugs inherent in the engineering process / culture surrounding Google and its roll out of features over time. Just check the Android issue tracker and tons of tools related issues are present for Renderscript and there are other hard bugs even in script intrinsics (issue # 61159 for instance). Fragmentation is alive and well within the confines of Renderscript.
As things go there is a bit of FUD coming from the Google side on the merits of Renderscript versus OpenCL. Google is suppressing OpenCL on its Nexus line of devices, but luckily various OEMs are exposing OpenCL on Android. Sony is one of those OEMs, but more will follow. All mobile GPU / SoC manufacturers support OpenCL, but it is up to the OEM to expose it. Sony devices are available now. I'm using the ODROID-XU as my OpenCL / Android test platform.
The next generation of mobile GPUs (Tegra K1 / Adreno 4xx) will support OpenCL to an even greater degree (even likely Cuda for NVidia SoCs). What I mean by that is current generation mobile GPUs have work group limitations, but the next generation referenced above will not have these limitations, so advanced algorithms will be possible via OpenCL on mobile. There of course is also full profile OpenGL 4.x and when it is imminently exposed on mobile there are also compute shaders.
If one is going to delve into low level parallelism Renderscript is a high risk solution that doesn't address the scope of problems one really wants to solve regarding parallel algorithm development whereas OpenCL is likely going to be the winner in the mid / long run.

Thanks for your comment, Michael, it is a very valuable insight. I agree with you that RenderScript parallelization features are naive, to put it lightly. It is just going to be one conclusion of this series of posts (of which only the first post was published).
My approach is much simpler. I will claim that even if you don't exploit parallelization, you may be better of than either in Java or in NDK.

I should mention that I want to see OpenCL and Renderscript widely available on Android.
Renderscript is an interesting experiment, but IMHO reveals more about the psyche / culture within Google / Android team than providing the solution the larger development community is demanding / needs.
There should be a spectrum of computation possibilities on Android; Renderscript & OpenCL.
> will claim that even if you don't exploit parallelization, you may be better of than either in Java or in NDK.
I am interested in seeing content that supports this claim as it seems like an extraordinary one which needs extraordinary evidence.
Doing multithreaded data crunching is not that hard in Java and the code one creates runs on the desktop and Android without a rewrite. In fact it's way easier to be able to do development on the desktop and instantly everything also runs on Android with no porting. The executor framework and atomic CAS operations are enough for most processing. If moving a lot of data between threads then utilizing the Disruptor or other customized queue implementation (not the ones in the java.util.concurrency API) lead to efficient Java / CPU based data crunching that runs everywhere.
It also depends. Another major limitation of Renderscript is that the developer can't control where computation occurs. Renderscript doesn't allow one to choose execution on the CPU or GPU which breaks a major rule in data oriented design which is "know thy data and process it accordingly".
Overwhelmingly in most low level computation tasks it's very important to be able to control where computation occurs depending on the immediate data set being operated on for that frame of execution which may change every time the task is computed.
Have a small data set then computing on the CPU is faster since there aren't data transfer costs which generally affect offloading small data sets to the GPU. If the data set is larger for the frame at hand then one explicitly wants to choose the GPU for computation as the data transfer costs are offset by the speed of computation.
Proper low level implementations of many algorithms should choose frame by frame a Java / NDK algorithm or GPU / highly parallel computation.
It should be noted that with OpenCL 2.0 there is the ability to share data between CPU / GPU / CL device which will reduce / eliminate the overhead of transferring small and large data sets.
I'm interested to read your follow up posts though because no one has really provided a post / proof that choosing Renderscript beats Java / NDK based CPU implementations for performance or more importantly matters of convenience. On speed there should be no real difference though I suppose it's a pain to compare since one doesn't know where Renderscript is operating for a comparison. I put forth that dealing with all the tools problems with Renderscript, and learning all its caveats including possible bugs / hard fragmentation is more difficult and less maintainable than working with Java / NDK based solutions. The maintainable angle regards current and future maintenance as developers come and go working on a project or for a company.
There are also cross-platform concerns such that it's time efficient to develop on the desktop for many data crunching tasks compared to dealing with Android and the app deployment / startup costs for testing apps. Let alone the ability to deploy an OpenCL based solution everywhere from desktop, Android, and iOS. A public OpenCL API on iOS is imminent. Not having to rewrite computation algorithms for each platform (desktop, iOS, Android, etc.) is the reason folks choose the NDK in the first place.
I may be pressed for time in the coming months, but perhaps I can offer Java and OpenCL based implementations of whatever your Renderscript demos will encompass. I already have a portable framework to plug in the computation at hand.

Heart-warming tributes have been paid to Bill Tarmey who played loveable Jack Duckworth in Coronation Street for three decades.
Stars of the ITV1 soap from past and present joined Ali, his wife of 50 years, their two children, seven grandchildren and one great-grandson at his funeral service.
Among the 700 mourners packed into Albion United Reformed Church in Ashton-under-Lyne was his former on-screen wife, Liz Dawn.
Together as Jack and Vera, their endearing, comically turbulent marriage was one of the most popular in soap history and won the hearts of millions of viewers across the world.
Mourners were told that Liz, who attended the service in a wheelchair, was "devastated by Bill's loss". Both stepped down from the soap in recent years due to health reasons.
In a eulogy, their ex-colleague, Samia Ghadie, who plays Maria Connor, said the pair were "a truly unforgettable and formidable partnership, and I doubt we'll ever see that again". She added: "They were simply iconic and Jack Duckworth will forever be a Coronation Street legend."
Similar sentiments were expressed by former Street star, Nigel Pivaro, who played Jack and Vera's tearaway son, Terry. He said: "Behind the character was the man. Bill's huge generosity of spirit, his warmth, his wit, his patience, his wisdom.
"I think those qualities that he had in abundance we will keep them in our hearts as his legacy."
Bill died at his holiday home in Tenerife on November 9, aged 71.
The former builder was eking out a living as a crooner in working men's clubs before joining Coronation Street in 1977 as an extra. He landed the role of Jack Duckworth two years later and a Street legend was born, to the extent he did not leave the show until 31 years later.
Street stars say farewell to Tarmey

Rutgers Routed By Syracuse For Boeheim's 903rd Win
Jim Boeheim notched his 903rd career victory, breaking a tie with Bob Knight for second all-time among Division I men's coaches, and No. 7 Syracuse rolled past Rutgers 78-53 on Wednesday night in the Big East opener for both teams.
Boeheim, in his 37th season at his alma mater, trails only Duke's Mike Krzyzewski, who has 940 victories.
Syracuse (13-1, 1-0) has won 33 straight home games, the longest active streak in the nation, and has beaten Rutgers (9-3, 0-1) 13 straight times. The Orange's last home loss was to Georgetown, 64-56, on Feb. 9, 2011.
Brandon Triche had a season-high 25 points, hitting 5 of 7 3-point attempts, and added six assists to lead Syracuse. Michael Carter-Williams finished with 12 points and 10 assists, his eighth double-double, and C.J. Fair had 15 points and three blocks.
Eli Carter led Rutgers with 19 points.

About Deloitte
Learn about our global network of member firms
A story that matters
We believe that we're only as good as the good we do.
All the facts and figures that talk to our size and diversity and years of history, as notable and important as they may be, are secondary to the truest measure of Deloitte: the impact we make in the world.
So, when people ask, "what's different about Deloitte?" the answer resides in the many specific examples of where we have helped Deloitte member firm clients, our people, and sections of society to achieve remarkable goals, solve complex problems or make meaningful progress. Deeper still, it's in the beliefs, behaviors and fundamental sense of purpose that underpin all that we do.
With over 150 years of hard work and commitment to making a real difference, our organization has grown in scale and diversity—approximately 286,000 people in 150 countries, providing audit, tax, legal, financial advisory, enterprise risk, and consulting services—yet our shared culture remains the same.
For us, good isn't good enough. We aim to be the best at all that we do—to help clients realize their ambitions; to make a positive difference in society; and to maximize the success of our people. This drive fuels the commitment and humanity that run deep through our every action.
That's what makes us truly different at Deloitte. Not how big we are, where we are, nor what services we offer. What really defines us is our drive to make an impact that matters in the world.

The Wireless Broadband Alliance has announced that it is teaming up with the Small Cell Forum to deepen integration between WiFi hotspots and licensed small cells.
A number of companies already manufacture small cells that incorporate WiFi, 3G and/or LTE technology, such as BelAir Networks, Ruckus Wireless, IP.Access, SpiderCloud and Alcatel-Lucent.
By deploying both licensed and unlicensed technologies, telecom operators can improve user experience through increased network capacity and advanced traffic management, as well as lowering device, infrastructure installation and backhaul costs.
To date, however, joint WiFi and small cell units are just two pieces of kit in a single box - there has been no clever integration to manage the traffic coming in.
One of the main purposes of the collaboration between the Wireless Broadband Alliance and the Small Cell Forum will be to conduct research into how to integrate WiFi and small cells at the network level, instead of simply using Wi-Fi to provide a pipe into the cellular network.
This could allow telecom operators to start building heterogeneous networks, whereby traffic is intelligently routed across either channel depending on how busy the network is or what service is being used.
The two channels could even be bonded together to create a very high bandwidth connection. This could allow Wi-Fi hotspots to support cellular services such as voice and SMS.
"The days of Wi-Fi vs cellular are dead. Both technologies are crucial for supporting the never ending growth in data traffic," said Gordon Mansfield, chairman of the Small Cell Forum.
"Wi-Fi hotspots are proving a valuable tool for managing surging mobile data traffic. Small cells, which now outnumber macrocells globally, represent the future of cellular as it strives to achieve new levels of coverage and capacity for all mobile devices.
"By bringing the two together, we can deliver a better experience for all users across all devices."
The two organisations will also collaborate on a range of other initiatives including looking at how small cells could impact efforts to simplify Next Generation Hotspot (NGH) access, and sharing best practices for optimising user experience and operator deployment strategies.
The NGH program is already making public Wi-Fi more accessible by removing the need for usernames and passwords. Major operators globally are currently trialling these new hotspots and deployments are expected imminently.
"The NGH program will now encompass the advances that emerge from this new cooperation paving the way for a truly converged future," said JR Wilson, chairman of the Wireless Broadband Alliance.
Research conducted by Informa Telecoms & Media on behalf of the Wireless Broadband Alliance reveals that smartphone-based hotspot connections now outnumber those from laptops.
This trend is set to accelerate as the industry moves toward the deployment of NGHs, based on open industry standards, according to the research.

I was spotted by our friends at WCF in Shanghai. Do they know who I am? Nope, but here's a hint: I've got a smaller butt than the recently revealed Porsche Panamera.
So where am I you ask? I'm not telling, but expect finding me to be harder than trying to find Waldo from our last little scavenger hunt. Do you get a prize for finding me? Nope. Will you be the envy of all your friends? Perhaps, depending on who your friends are. Is there a prize? Only the one in your heart from knowing the true identity of The Auto Insider.
One final tip. The latest theory that Ray Wert and I are one and the same? Drop it faster than you can think of a killer COTD. Since I was in Shanghai, and Ray Wert was not, don't even waste your time looking for our GT-R-humping boss-man.
Now, if only I could get an entry in Wikipedia too!

I need a little help. I have a 67 SS L78 (396 375hp). I'm having it painted the original Bolero Red and have a question about the Bumble Bee Front Stripe. Was it painted from the factory or was it a decal?
Also, was the rear cowl area around the gas cap painted matte black from the factory?
Also, I was told by the second owner of my car that the bumble bee stripe was originally white. Was there a standard that GM used for different color cars?
If anyone has an idea of why, when and how this trend started, I would be interested to say the least.

Where can I find a recipe for homemade juices and jelly/jams
You can make homemade juices by juicing any combination of fruits and vegetables that you choose. You will need an electric juicer for most vegetables and some of the less juicy fruit. Recipes for jams and jellies can be found by "Googling" "making jams and jellies".

It's so pretty!
So why the nerves? Well, there just seemed so much that could go wrong. It requires three Swiss rolls (what were the chances that all three would roll nicely?) and a rather involved custard (what were the chances it would be lump free?) and then bringing it all together with cream to make a perfect dome (what were the chances that it would be perfect?)
The custard is beautiful and so tasty; here it is before I added it to the cream and fruit:
Like most complicated tasks if you break this recipe down into the component parts it quickly becomes manageable. The Swiss rolls can be made days in advance. The whole dish can be made a day in advance and kept in the fridge overnight.
I love that the slices still show the Swiss roll and – surprisingly – it cut easily. But don't take it out from the fridge before you want it.
This is a special occasion dessert for no other reason than it's huge! The Bavarian cream recipe makes approximately two litres and when you start adding fruit to that you can see that you end up with a big dessert! The bowl you assemble it in should be bigger than two litres as the Swiss roll lining takes up some volume.
One bowl prepared and ready to receive goodies:
If you have the time and the inclination then I could not recommend this recipe more highly. It was delicious. The filling is not overly sweet but the Swiss roll is, so they compliment and balance each other perfectly.
The filling is so smooth and creamy but light. Exactly what was needed after a heavy Christmas dinner.
Happy Christmas!
For the Swiss Roll - You will need three Swiss rolls. The ingredients below are for one. I recommend making one Swiss roll at a time.
3 eggs
125g caster sugar
90g self raising flour
Icing sugar for dusting
160g jam, whichever flavour you wish. I used raspberry
For the custard:
6 leaves or 20g gelatine
600ml whole milk (the dish contains 8 egg yolks, what's the point in using low fat milk!)
2 vanilla pods
8 egg yolks
65g icing sugar
For the cream:
475ml whipping cream
35g icing sugar
250g fruit – I used raspberries and blackberries
Optional: 2 tablespoons of liqueur of your choice. I didn't bother.
How to make:
- Preheat the oven to 190°C/fan oven 170°C/375°F/Gas mark 5.
- Lightly grease a Swiss roll tin (30cm x 25cm and 2cm deep) and line with baking paper. NB. I tried non-stick foil but it didn't work as well.
- Beat the eggs until they are thick and pale. This will take several minutes and you mustn't be tempted to rush as this is how the air and lightness gets into the sponge.
- Continuing to beat the eggs, gradually spoon in the sugar. Beat until the mixture looks puffy and light.
- Sieve the flour into the batter and fold in.
- Pour the batter into the prepared tin and level the surface.
- Bake for 10-15 minutes or until the sponge is light golden and springy to the touch. Mine took 12 minutes. It is important not to overcook the sponge.
- While the sponge is cooking, lay a clean tea towel on the work top. Also cut a sheet of baking paper to tip the Swiss roll onto and dust this with icing sugar.
- As soon as you remove the Swiss roll from the oven turn it out onto the clean piece of baking papery and remove the backing paper.
- Carefully roll the sponge up from the short end, rolling the paper inside the roll. Use clothes pegs to secure the ends.
- Leave for 5 minutes on a wire rack.
- After 5 minutes, unroll the sponge and leave to cool for 3-5 minutes.
- Spread with the jam and re-roll. The jam is much easier to spread if you beat it with a spoon and soften it up.
- Keep in an airtight tin until required.
- Line a bowl of approximately three litres capacity with clingfilm. It sticks better if you grease the bowl with some oil. Ensure that the clingfilm overhangs the bowl.
- Slice the Swiss rolls into 1.5cm slices and line the bowl placing the slices as closely as possible so no filling can seep through. Keep some slices back to finish off the top (the base on turning out).
- Protect and hold the Swiss roll in place by turning the excess clingfilm back into the bowl.
- Refrigerate until needed.
- Now make the custard. Soak the gelatine leaves in cold water so that they are covered. If you're using powdered gelatine add to 3 tablespoons of cold water.
- Cut the vanilla pods open and scrape out the seeds. Add both pod and seeds to a saucepan containing the milk.
- Heat gently and then add the gelatine. If you're using leaves make sure you squeeze out any water.
- Stirring all the time, bring the milk gently to the boil. This takes a long time but don't try and rush it by upping the heat.
- Remove from the heat and put to one side.
- Whisk together the egg yolks and icing sugar until smooth.
- Remove the vanilla pods from the milk.
- Pour the egg yolk mixture through a sieve into the milk and continue to stir constantly.
- Stir over a gentle heat until the custard thickens enough to coat the back of the spoon i.e. without running straight off. Again, this takes some time and must not be rushed otherwise you'll end up with cooked eggy bits in your custard.
- Pour into a bowl and leave to cool to room temperature.
- When the custard is cool you can refrigerate it but be aware that the gelatine will start to set. I did refrigerate it because that's what the recipe said, but when I make it again I wouldn't do this. If your custard does set too quickly you can always make it creamy again by whisking. It's important that the custard is creamy so that it folds in nicely.
- Now make the cream. Whisk the cream until it just starts to hold its shape.
- Add the icing sugar and whisk until you get soft peaks.
- Fold in the fruit and liqueur, if using.
- Fold the cream and fruit into the custard.
- Spoon into the Swiss roll lined bowl and use the remaining slices of Swiss roll to cover the top.
- Cover with clingfilm and refrigerate until needed.
- To unmould, take off the top layer of clingfilm and turn out onto the serving plate. Remove the clingfilm that lined the bowl.
- Garnish with whipped cream if desired – I didn't bother.
- Bask in glory at the wonderful thing you have made.
- Eat.

Guys is it me or Guts hair looks all black again?
I believe it's the angle. Plus it's not that high res pic.
Now that's a cover. Super early too!
I've got the english translation on pre-order. Can't wait!
Are you sure it's for volume 39? Because vol 38 is not out yet in English and will probably only be release next year I'd say.
Dark Horse's Volume 38 comes out July 18th this year. I haven't heard anything about volume 39, but I doubt we'll see that until at least 2018.
I meant vol 39 will probably be put next year. I already knew that 38 was gonna be out in july from Dark Horse. My bad though for I was not clear in my last message.And like you said, I also haven't found anything about vol 39 in english. I just wanted to make sure Killakcin was talking about vol 38 and not 39.
Is there any info on the volume 39's page count? The amount of pages could give us a clue for as to how many episodes will be contained within
196 pages according to Amazon.jp.
Hmmm...Volume 39 is currently running at about 141 pages, which means there's 55 pages left to go, maybe less if things like the title page or the table of contents count. So we could be in for at least three more episodes this year, albeit some relatively short ones like 349, with v39 containing a nice round 10 episodes in total.
Volume 35 will be 236 pages (like volumes 25, 26, 27, 28), less than what we've been getting recently (252 pages for volume 34, 244 for volume 33) [...] For reference, counting only the episodes themselves we have 216 pages of material in volume 34 with 10 episodes and 196 pages of material in volume 35 with 9 episodes. And now for an even more interesting fact: volume 31 had 196 pages of material with 10 episodes, and volume 30 had 194 pages. Volume 24 might have had even less.
