British author Charlotte Moore wrote about life with her two autistic sons in "George and Sam: Two Boys, One Family, and Autism,"published in 2007. In an upcoming edition of the book, Moore expands her family's story to give readers a glimpse into going through adolescence with autism.
In a study published February 17 in the American Journal of Psychiatry, a research team led by Dr. Joseph Piven at the University of North Carolina identified different developmental trajectories of white matter in the brains of infants who subsequently developed autism compared with infants who did not. Images taken at six months, one year and two years of age showed 12 of 15 major brain pathways developed differently in 28 infants who later exhibited autism, generally characterized by a "slowing" of white matter growth, compared with the 64 other infants who did not. "These results offer promise that we may one day be able to identify infants at risk for autism before the behavioral symptoms are present," said study co-author Geri Dawson, Chief Science Officer for Autism Speaks.
According to a National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH) study published on February 2 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, investigators have tracked the activity, across the lifespan, of an environmentally responsive regulatory mechanism that turns genes on and off in the brain's executive hub. Genes associated with schizophrenia and autism belong to a small subset of genes that methylate inversely compared with most other genes. Intensive methylation, which is an epigenitic process, occurs prenatally, and the lead author of the study, Dr. Barbara Lipska, hypothesizes that "Regulation of these genes may be particularly sensitive to environmental influences during this critical early life period." The study also found that methylation levels differed in 85% of the X chromosome sites measured, which might offer an explanation as to why autism and schizophrenia occur at substantially different rates between genders.
The Des Moines Register today profiled Jeff Paprocki, an autistic adult with severe behavior challenges including self-injury. Jeff currently lives in a hospital psychiatric ward due to a shortage of community service providers that can support his needs.
The Chicago Tribune reports that a 15-year-old boy with Asperger's syndrome was shot and killed this morning in his home, after cutting a police office with a knife. The teen, Stephon Watts, had a history of aggressive behavior, according to police. The boy's mother has stated that the family was advised by social service professionals to call the police during incidents of violent behavior. A news conference is scheduled for later today to provide further information on the incident.
A handbook on adult guardianship law in the state of Maryland has been updated for the first time in over a decade and is available online in both PDF and interactive formats. The handbook is a collaboration between The Law & Health Care Program at the University of Maryland Francis King Carey School of Law (UM Carey Law) and the Delivery of Legal Services Section Council of the Maryland State Bar Association (MSBA). This updated version was revised by Virginia Rowthorn, JD, Managing Director of the Law & Health Care Program at UM Carey Law , and Ellen Callegary, JD, a prominent elder law and disability lawyer in Maryland.
The New York Times on Thursday examined how upcoming changes to the newest version of the "Diagnostics and Statistics Manual of Mental Disorders" (DSM-V) may impact diagnostic criteria for autism spectrum disorders, and as a consequence, access to services. The "DSM" is the resource utilized by doctors and mental health professionals in diagnosing conditions and coding them for insurance reimbursement. The new version is due to be published in 2013.
Researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's Center for Child Injury Prevention Studies examined factors predicting which teens with ASD were likely to become drivers in a study published this month in The Journal of Developmental and Behavioral Pediatrics. Their conclusions point to a need to address driving in Transition Plans. "Although a significant proportion of teens with higher functioning autism spectrum disorders were driving or learning to drive, the fact that most driving teens' individualized education plans did not include driving goals suggests an area of opportunity for improvement in transition planning. Driving teens were more frequently in regular education settings with college aspirations, which could help schools identify potential drivers," the article notes.
In a BBC interview, a woman with ASD, Alex Jordan, discusses how she feels like a prisoner in her own home due to her inability to cross the street. Jordan, who lives in Dorset, has been stuck by cars seven times in the past year.
A study reported in the January Archives of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine found that the increased use of respite and home/community aid services was associated with a decrease in the risk of psychiatric hospitalizations for children, adolescents, and young adults with ASD. In their conclusion, researchers noted that, "Respite care is not universally available through Medicaid. It may represent a critical type of service for supporting families in addressing challenging child behaviors. States should increase the availability of respite care for Medicaid-enrolled children with autism spectrum disorders."

The gift of a great toy
We recently celebrated Purim, the Jewish holiday of celebration when the Jewish people were spared their lives, once again in history, this time by Queen Ester. It's a festive holiday when children dress up in costume and receive gifts of sweet treats or Toys!
The girls Aunt Cilla, my sister -in-law, sent a Purim care package all the way from Israel. We all love when special packages come from Israel, they are always filled with special trinkets or unique items that can't be found here in the states, and every once in a while there is a bag of yummy Israeli chocolate, which, while you can get it here, just tastes better when it comes from overseas.
Aunt Cilla sent the girls two gifts, one for now and one for latter. The one for later is a board game, an adorable animal matching game for when they are a little older. The now gift are the beautiful Hebrew alphabet blocks.
The girls are just now learning to stack and loving to knock down.
As they get older and learn their letters the blocks will be fun to play spelling games with. And an added bonus, they look pretty cute all stacked up on the shelf.
Thanks Aunt Cilla the blocks and board game are such a special treat.
Love, Talia and Jordan

CHowTo necesitaba un nuevo diseño de logotipo y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 97 diseños de 33 diseñadores freelance.
I am looking for someone to create a cool web 2.0 text logo with a mascot to match. The logo does not have to be too artsy, but it does have to say CampusHowTo.com. The mascot can be built in and around the logo if necessary.
I need a cool web 2.0 style logo with a college influence. In addition to the logo, I need an icon or a mascot to give my website a strong identity. I need the logo and icon done by the same person because the designers may or may not want to design the mascot in the logo.
You can view a work-in-progress version of the website at http://www.sibzsolutions.com/campus . The website is for college students to upload how-to videos for each other to see, with the overall goal of making it easier to 'Survive College'.
The overall theme of the website is supposed to be cool and fun as most of the videos will be about partying, making drinks, and pranks. Therefore, I need the logo and mascot to be college influenced. It should NOT be overly corny or cute, and it really can be anything (a cool student, tv, book, etc.) as long as it is relative to the website and has a clear college reference.
The current color scheme of the website is boring and is really geared towards younger kids, so any design you come up with, keep in mind that the color scheme should be easy to change. However, for the time being, design for the current color scheme.
The best example of what I am looking for is:
http://www.monkeysee.com . This is a site that is similar to mine and you can see they went with the whole 'monkey' theme. They have monkey icons all over their website and you can see they incorporated the 'mascot' monkey into their logo.
This is sort of what I am going for. Other examples I can give you of what I am looking for:
collegehumor.com (the jester is their mascot)
Tivo.com (the TV guy is their mascot)
sassyeskimo.com (the eskimo is the mascot)
However, the icon/mascot does not necessarily have to be a character, it can be an icon or an image such as the Nike swoosh or the Volkswagon VW logo. Let your creativity show.
Feel free to ask questions because I will be very responsive.
**Because I know this is a tough task and requires the risk of time and effort, I will be rewarding $50 for second place**
- cool text logo
- web 2.0 style
- college influenced
- strong identity
- integrated mascot/icon
- clear mascot reference to college
- creativity
- overly corny or cute designs
- non-college influenced designs
- too corporate
- too artsy

Fixed Income
Schroders Quickview: Has the Fed hike actually made emerging markets more appealing?
Now that the Federal Reserve (Fed) has raised rates, investors may start to view emerging market debt in a new light.
Fed factor
The Fed appeared to meet expectations with its long awaited rate hike last night, coupled with a forecast that was widely viewed as gradual and fairly predictable, if not outright dovish.
While all asset classes had waited for the Fed to move, emerging markets had arguably been one of the most affected, given that the average currency in the asset class has fallen roughly 40% since May 2013, the beginning of the infamous "taper tantrum"1 that marked the beginning of rate hike speculation.
It is difficult to argue that the Fed has been the sole factor in emerging market bond weakness.
China hard landing fears, plummeting commodity prices, Brazilian political disarray, Russian policy concerns, and general weakening growth across all regions created a near perfect-storm for emerging market bond investors.
Settling nerves
However, a more predictable and less fraught path going forward for the Fed should help steady investor nerves and risk appetite.
If developed market bond yields remain very low - as seems likely with a very slow hiking path set out with some confidence - emerging market dollar yields will remain one of the few places to look for meaningful income generation for years to come.
The Fed move comes at a time when emerging market dollar bonds seem particularly attractive.
Yields in the primary sovereign dollar index are at highs not seen since 2010, when Treasury yields were much higher than today.
Diverging monetary policy
Yield spreads over Treasuries for investment grade2 sovereign bonds are just under 300 basis points, and remain at elevated levels that were last seen consistently during the European crisis of 2011. High yield3 sovereign debt currently has a yield to maturity of 8.5%.
The divergence between developed market monetary policies has driven the dollar nearly 20% higher on a trade-weighted basis since July 2014.
Emerging market currencies have fallen in lock step.
With the European Central Bank now charting a path towards a steady dose of quantitative easing as growth in Europe stabilizes, Fed predictability should help curb that dollar appreciation.
Emerging market currencies should then likely steady at attractive levels, boosting sentiment towards the asset class.
Even a modest virtuous cycle led by those factors could make emerging markets one of the strongest global fixed income performers next year, given today's generous yield levels.
1. The term 'Taper Tantrum' refers to the surge in US Treasury yields (global government bond yields as well), in the summer of 2013 when then-Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke referenced the potential wind down of Fed asset purchases (tapering off QE).↩
2. Investment grade bonds are the highest quality bonds as assessed by a credit ratings agency. To be deemed investment grade, a bond must have a credit rating of at least BBB (Standard & Poor's) or Baa3 (Moody's).↩
3. A high yield bond is a speculative bond with a credit rating below investment grade. Generally, the higher the risk of default by the bond issuer, the greater the interest or coupon is.↩

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
"Pretty mindblowing." That's how country newcomer Kacey Musgraves described her first show in her new and much-coveted role as opening act for Kenny Chesney 's tour. "What better of a person could you learn from? His show? It's almost like gladiator style — people coming from everywhere to see this person connect," Musgraves told Radio.com. "That has been an inspiration to watch." I haven't seen the show yet, but I've read the reviews, so I know that near the end of Chesney's set, Musgraves heads back out onstage and sings "Come Over" with him. Which was insane but not scary, she said, because her brain wasn't even letting her compute that kind of crowd at their first stadium show in Tampa, Fla. "At that point, there was about 65,000 people there — biggest crowd I've ever been in front of," she said. As for her own set, she recently told CMT.com she likes to perform cover songs from the very diverse list of bands she loves, including Weezer, Cake, ELO, the Beach Boys, Lee Ann Womack and John Prine . I would pay good money to hear ELO's "Sweet Talkin' Woman" with banjo.

Best-Dressed Celebrities, Fashion, and Models | Dec. 8, 2012
This Week's Best Dressed
This Week's Best Dressed
Who said anything about Winter blahs? Judging by the amount of vivid color and riotous print on display this week, it appears that everyone was intent on bucking the cold weather blues. At the In Vogue: The Editor's Eye screening in New York, Anna Wintour and Sarah Jessica Parker led the charge in brightly hued dresses and bold accessories, while attendees Tory Burch, Erin Beatty, and Nora Zehetner looked gorgeous in prints and electric hues. Across the pond at Chanel's Metiers d'Art Pre-Fall show in Scotland, Karl's front row girls Poppy Delevingne, Caroline Sieber, and Miroslava Duma may have been swathed in fur and wool, but in eye-popping shades and intricate patterns they looked anything but dull.
See those plus all of the week's chicest looks — including Laura Bailey's bubblegum-pink ball gown, Diane Kruger's ruffled gray Prabal Gurung, and much more — here, in the slideshow.

In reference to Eagle Projects: Assisting another Scout with his Eagle project is something that all scouts need to participate in repeatedly. This is not a "did it one time" or "once-a-year" thing. If a Scout does not have a prior committment, they should make every effort to attend. For those who stay focused in scouting and continue on toward Eagle, at some point in the future, they will look to other scouts for help with their Eagle project - there is no better way to learn to lead than being lead. Experience is the best teacher. Although the days usually involve physical labor, they are always good-hearted fun among the boys and they always benefit a community cause.

I'm down at the University of Illinois right now visiting my cousin (got the wife with me too). My cousin is graduating tomorrow, and we're going bar-hopping tonight. I haven't done that since the college days (been since 1996), so I'm in for a real treat. If I don't make it back alive you've all been great!
Looks like tonight the Mom and I will be going to Friday's (a place that I used to incessantly tease people for frequenting until I went myself and tried their drinks). I will no doubt have several Junebugs (one of my favorite things on the planet).
Its also my mothers Birthday on Monday. 77 years old.

Washington (CNN) - Bush and Clinton are tied in a new poll.
But this isn't a survey of a possible 2016 presidential showdown. Instead it's a poll of the most admired first lady.
According to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal survey released Friday, 27% of Americans say Barbara Bush is the most admired first lady over the past quarter century. Bush, the wife of former President George. H.W. Bush, is tied for the top spot in the survey with Hillary Clinton, who succeeded Bush in the White House as first lady.
The poll indicates current First Lady Michelle Obama is a close third, at 24%, with her predecessor, Laura Bush at 17%.
But the survey suggests large partisan and racial divides.
Forty-two percent of Democrats say Obama is the most admired first lady, with Clinton just three-percentage points behind. Republicans questioned put Barbara Bush on top at 45%, with Laura Bush second at 36%. And independents most admire Barbara Bush (28%) and Clinton (27%).
One-third of white respondents say they admire Barbara Bush, with Clinton second at 24%. Among African-Americans, Michelle Obama (58%) is most admired, with Clinton (30%) a distant second. And among Latinos, Clinton's in first (45%) followed by Obama (29%).
Jeb Bush edges up, Hillary Clinton slightly down, in our latest CNN/ORC 2016 poll
The NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll was conducted April 23-27, with 1,000 adults nationwide questioned by telephone. The survey has an overall sampling error of plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.
Complete coverage: 2014 Midterm Elections
CNN Political Editor Paul Steinhauser contributed to this report
"But the survey suggests large partisan and racial divides."
Ya think?
They're in order of succession... Duh!
Racial divides? No way!
As a non-American, I find it strange how you treat the family members of your politicians. Requiring them to accept fame, to make their own political views public even though they're not running for office, to engage in public speaking etc. And then you complain when you end up with a poor choice of candidates......

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) December 10, 2012

Since she was a child, psychic and astrologer Norah Guide has had the gift of knowing and seeing things that other people simply could not.

In this activity, students compare two photographs (with time spans of 30-100 years between photos) of specific Alaskan glaciers to observe how glaciers have changed over the time interval. Activity is a good kickoff for learning about glaciology - how and why glaciers form, grow and shrink, and their relation to climate change.
This interactive visualization adapted from NASA and the U.S. Geological Survey illustrates the concept of albedo, which is the measure of how much solar radiation is reflected from Earth's surface.
In this activity, students develop an understanding of the relationship between natural phenomena, weather, and climate change: the study known as phenology. In addition, they learn how cultural events are tied to the timing of seasonal events. Students brainstorm annual natural phenomena that are tied to seasonal weather changes. Next, they receive information regarding the Japanese springtime festival of Hanami, celebrating the appearance of cherry blossoms. Students plot and interpret average bloom date data from over the past 1100 years.
This set of animations and interactive simulations from the Byrd Polar Research Center at Ohio State University helps students develop an understanding of models used to understand the Earth system. Students consider the types of data that need to be included in a climate model, looking at inputs, outputs, and variables. The animations show how data is calculated for grid cells and assembled into a comprehensive model.
In this activity, students will practice the steps involved in a scientific investigation as they learn why ice formations on land (and not those on water) will cause a rise in sea level upon melting. This is a discovery lesson on ice and water density and displacement of water.
C-Learn is a simplified version of a climate simulator. Its primary purpose is to help users understand the long-term climate effects (CO2 concentrations, global temperature, sea level rise) of various customized actions to reduce fossil fuel CO2 emissions, reduce deforestation, and grow more trees. Students can ask multiple, customized what-if questions and understand why the system reacts as it does.
This activity teaches students about the albedo of surfaces and how it relates to the ice-albedo feedback effect. During an experiment, students observe the albedo of two different colored surfaces by measuring the temperature change of a white and black surface under a lamp.
This video describes the role that dendrochronology plays in understanding climate change, especially changes to high elevation environments at an upper tree line. Dendrochronologists from the Big Sky Institute sample living and dead trees, describe how correlations between trees are made, and explain how tree cores record climate changes.
This activity introduces wind energy concepts through a reading passage and by answering assessment questions. The main section of the activity involves constructing and testing a windmill to observe how design and position affect the electrical energy produced.
This lesson guides a student inquiry into properties of the ocean's carbonate buffer system, and how changes in atmospheric carbon dioxide levels may affect ocean pH and biological organisms that depend on calcification.

Saint Christina of Markyate
- Christina of Markgate
- Christina Theodora
- Kristina of Markyate
Born to the Anglo-Saxon nobility, the daughter of Autti, a rich and influential guild merchant. At age 15 she visited Saint Albans Abbey where she made a private vow of celibacy. Her parents opposed her vow, and arranged a marriage for her with a man named Berktred. Christina took her case to Bishop Robert Bloet who initially sided with her, but who was later bribed into changing his ruling.
Christina was betrothed and married against her will, spending the first years of married life as a prisoner, refusing to consummate the union. With the help of a hermit named Eadwin, she escaped, and fled to Flamstead where she lived for two years with an anchoress named Alfwen. She moved to a hermitage at Markyate, Hertfordshire, England in 1118, becoming the spiritual student of the hermit Blessed Roger of Albans.
In 1122, Burktred obtained an annulment from Thurstan, Archbishop of York, England. This and the death of bishop Bloet in 1123 allowed Christina to return to Markyate where she lived the rest of her life.
Her reputation for holiness soon attracted others, and her house became a priory of nuns. She was offered the position of abbess in York, Fontevrault, and Marcigny, but stayed at Markyate.
A skillful needle worker, Christina embroidered mitres and sandals for the English Pope Adrian IV, a former student of Saint Albans. While noted as stable and balanced, she was given to ecstacies and visions.

ALAMEDA — An early morning fire Saturday that damaged a restaurant and shut down a street just a block from City Hall is being treated as suspicious, officials said.
Arson investigators were investigating the American Oak restaurant at 2319 Santa Clara Ave. after the fire, which was reported about 6:16 a.m., according to Alameda Fire spokesman James Colburn. No one was injured.
Firefighters responding to reports of heavy smoke in the building found a fire that apparently had several points of origin, Colburn said. They had the blaze under control in about 10 minutes.
Damage was estimated at about $250,000 to the structure and $200,000 to the contents of the restaurant.
The investigation forced the closure of Santa Clara Avenue, in the heart of the city's downtown district. Officials hope to reopen the street by around 10 a.m.

Get started with your iPhone 5
Now that your device is up and running, here are a few quick pointers.
Tweak your settings: Most of the underlying system information for your new iPhone—network settings, Mail, sounds, messages, restrictions, wallpaper, and more—is kept in the Settings app. As such, it's a good place to start when you're first getting acquainted with your device.
Set up iTunes sync: If you didn't restore from an older iOS backup, you won't have any music, video, podcasts, photos, or books on your iPhone. You can remedy that by connecting it with your iTunes library: Just plug your device into your computer via its included USB cable. (Once you've completed this initial sync, you can also set up wireless local syncing; check out our guide for more information.)
Explore the App Store: Your iPhone comes with a bunch of cool built-in apps, but you may want to reach outside the sandbox for more interesting fare. The App Store, which you can access on your device or via iTunes on your computer, features more than 750,000 downloadable apps. To explore the store on your iPhone, tap the blue App Store icon on your home screen. Featured and Charts are both great places to start looking for recommended apps, and you can search the entire App Store by tapping on the Search tab. As the iPhone 5 has different dimensions than previous generations of the iPhone, there may also be a collection in the App Store for apps optimized for your device. (Older apps will still run on the iPhone 5, but they'll do so with black bars at the top and bottom of your screen.)
Talk to Siri: If you chose to set up Siri on your iPhone 5 during the activation process, you're just one Home button press away from having your first conversation. Siri can help you book appointments, find restaurants, look up the weather, talk sports, and occasionally whip out snarky quips about robotic AI. To start, press and hold your Home button; the Siri interface will appear, along with a few suggested phrases to get going.
Read more about your iPhone 5: Want to learn more about your iPhone 5 and its apps, get third-party program suggestions, and get some great troubleshooting tips? Check out Macworld's iPhone 5 Superguide, an ebook available on the iBookstore, Kindle Store, and Nook Store, and as a PDF.
What to do with your old device
Now that you've managed to transfer your old information, set up your new iPhone 5, and start using it, it's time to figure out what you'd like to do with your old device. If you're interested in selling, recycling, or passing it along to a friend or family member, Macworld contributor Joel Mathis whipped up a handy guide that contains the steps you'll need. But what if you're interested in keeping it around?
Turn your iPhone into an iPod touch: No, your old iPhone won't make calls or hop on a cellular network without a data plan, but you can keep using it as a Wi-Fi only iOS device. To do so, you'll just need to keep the phone's old SIM card (or a cheap SIM card from the same service provide you originally used to activate the phone with) inside it. From there, you can restore it to factory settings, and set it up as a brand new device.

Inspired by amazing work by Katie Runnels, making a cake topper was high on my list of DIY projects for my wedding. Since I was planning on using {life size} pennants throughout the ceremony and reception, I made a tiny string of pennants to hang over the bride and groom birds. I used wire wrapped in silk to create the arch. I found feather birds from Micheals and covered them in silver glitter and made them tiny outfits. For the base, I covered a round chipboard box with pink silk, a stripe of muslim, and a length of vintage sequin trim. I used the lid from a smaller chipboard box, covered with pink glass glitter as a platform for the birds. In the end, I was really happy with it! I had a really simple cake to save $$$, so the topper was the showpiece.
{glue guns are perhaps the best invention ever}

I was sent this funky looking mascara to try out – its by mememe (sold exclusively at Superdrug) and retails for £7.82. When did drugstore make up get so expensive. In the old days, you'd have chance from £1 (probably).
Anyway – the dream mascara has not yet been found. Remember at the moment I am sporting a painful lash perm, which means nearly any mascara looks ok. I still need to find the one that looks amazing even when I haven't been chemically enhanced.
So, the packaging is pretty cute – its a metallic pink tube. (Pink is the non waterproof version, blue is the waterproof one).
This is supposed to have a flexible 3D brush. I actually quite like these comby type mascaras – they work quite well for us short lashed ladies.
So the comb is all the way round the brush….mmm ok.
Here are the results with 2 coats.
Drama Queen? Not quite. If you want va-va-va voom volume, this mascara isn't going to do it. But it is ok at length, and its quite glossy and natural:
So for me, its just average. I think this could work for those girls who already have ridiculous lashes and want something quite natural so they don't look like they are wearing fake lashes all the time (but of course, if I had those kind of lashes I would ham it up, EVERY. DAMN. DAY).
You can buy this mascara from Superdrug stores nationwide.
(I've just found out mememe have a mascara called Fat Cat Mascara! Clearly THIS is the one they should have sent me!)

What's Next for JRuby? 1.9 Compatibility, Windows Love, and More!
At Rubyconf last week I had a chance to sit down with Thomas Enebo and Charles Nutter from the JRuby team. We talked about the current state of the project, what users have to look forward to in the next release, and a number of other questions regarding integration, deployment and tooling.
DDJ: JRuby became MRI 1.8.7 compatible during the 1.4 release. What's the ETA for 1.9.2 compatibility?
Tom: That's been promised to be the second week of December. I don't know if you're aware of this, but JRuby runs in a 1.8 and a 1.9 mode right now; just specify --1.9 and we behave like 1.9. So we're probably 85% done and the last 15% won't be 80% of the work. We kind of have a handle on what's left and we think we'll have it for [JRuby] 1.6 in mid-December.
DDJ: So that's the general thrust of the 1.6 release then, Ruby 1.9 compatibility? What else is coming in that release?
Charlie: Well in 1.6 we're also shipping support for installing Maven artifacts as if they were regular Ruby gems. So you can gem install a Maven artifact and use it as a dependency, whatever, and it pulls it from Maven.
Tom: Windows support is going to be quite a bit better. We actually plan on dogfooding it ourselves.
DDJ: You're moving to a Windows development environment?
Tom: For a few weeks. Our Windows support I believe is better than the C implementation right now but we realize that it's the platform we don't give enough love. We know there are a lot of people on Windows who want to use Ruby, so we're going to give it a little extra attention [...] to iron out a few wrinkles that we know are still there. And we're also going to support Win32 OLE libraries so we can do OLE automation.
DDJ: So Windows support was also one of the major thrusts of the 1.5 release as well. Can you talk a little bit about what that entailed?
Charlie: It started with 1.4, [where] we spent a certain amount of time fixing things that were problems on Windows. We included a Windows installer for the first time and it was an amazing eye-opener for us. The number of downloads for the Windows installer exceeded all the artifacts that we had ever shipped. It's obvious once you think about it: 80% of the world still uses Windows which means that a substantial portion of developers use Windows. And that's why, since then, we've been trying to support Windows better and better and fix things that the C implementation has never bothered with.
Tom: There are also a lot of Java developers that want to kick the tires and play with JRuby. What machine are they most likely going to be using at work?
DDJ: I understand that JRuby now integrates with Ant. Although Ant and Rake are often used for the same sort of tasks, there are certainly things that one does better than the other (Rake lacks support for some of the standard cross-platform tasks that Ant has, leading to users shelling out to complete tasks, Ant is syntactically icky but also much less flexible than Rake since Rake gives full access to the Ruby interpreter). Do you picture Ant and Rake living side by side in a typical project?
Tom: I think it really depends on the user and their environment. If you're an existing Java shop and you have 50 thousand lines of XML, those people are probably never going to get rid of those files. But what they might be able to do -- and I've experienced this first-hand -- I start to realize that I've started to write imperative code in XML. That's a natural place where you might want to use Rake, where you have all the imperative goodness of Ruby.
I think we really just want to reduce barriers, so that whatever environment you have, there's something that might be appealing for that environment versus opinionated software that mandates that you have to use Rake and that's it.
DDJ: What's the most common approach for deploying Rails or other Rack-based web application on JRuby at the moment?
Charlie: The traditional approach is probably what most Rubyists are going to want to use; they're not going to want to learn how to spin up Java app servers and administer all of that. So we'll continue to support those and keep the command line servers running well. But the truth is that the vast majority of people who are going to deploy JRuby apps are likely to use the WAR file stuff, so Nick [Sieger] has continued to improve Warbler with each release. There's lots of cool stuff in 1.3. We'll continue to support both [deployment options] but there's probably a larger opportunity for JRuby on the WAR file side.
DDJ: So demographically, are most folks interested in JRuby representing shops that already have significant Java deployment infrastructure in place? Or are you seeing a lot of brand new greenfield development?
Tom: I would say that there's really three different use cases. One is that they're already legacy Java users but they want to go and take advantage of Rails. But they still have a bunch of Java business logic, and a bunch of existing apps they [need to continue to support]. The second one is a Ruby user who wants to make use of some technology that doesn't exist in the Ruby ecosystem yet, and they know that it exists in the Java world. And the third one seems to be obfuscation -- they want to compile that Ruby code down to something to try to prevent people from looking at their source code.
DDJ: Are you seeing a lot of users taking advantage of JRuby for obfuscation purposes? Like vendors who are taking their proprietary libraries or applications and shipping them on JRuby with obfuscated code?
Charlie: The one everyone would have heard of is GitHub. Their firewall product is basically a WAR file that you can run in your environment and that's actually a JRuby recompiled application.
Tom: Thoughtworks' Mingle also took a different approach, but they picked JRuby for that reason.
Charlie: [obfuscation] certainly makes it easier to feel safer about shipping your application. Maybe even easier than shipping a Java application, because it's almost impossible to decompile it into something useful.
It's a packaged deliverable, no source code in it, all set to go.
DDJ: The JVM is optimized for long-running applications. The downside of that is that startup time for applications often suffers. What's being done about this? How can developers minimize this problem in production?
Charlie: There are ways to improve it. We've posted various walkthroughs about improving the startup time of JRuby. Oracle will have to address it at some point too, because they want JavaFX or other projects to use small client applications, and the startup time is a major problem for them right now. For example in Java 7 they're introducing something called the Tiered Compiler, which basically gives you the same performance as the full-on server version VM but starts up quickly, does a limited compile right away so that it can get moving much more quickly. They're definitely aware of these problems and continue to improve on it with every release.
Tom: They've also added modular class libraries, although that might not make it into Java 7.
DDJ: I understand that Engine Yard has announced commercial support for JRuby applications. I imagine that this benefits not only your customers but also the language itself, as it allows you to apply lessons learned from large production clients to the language features and project roadmap. Can you talk a little about that relationship?
Charlie: The Win32 OLE support that Tom mentioned actually came out of a customer contract. They needed this feature to be implemented in JRuby, and as a result we were able to implement it for them and then ship it as part of JRuby for other users. We have had other clients come in to do one-off benchmarking or troubleshooting, and all of those do feed back into our process.
Tom: Also, just being an open source project gives us a lot of opportunities to get feedback.
DDJ: How big of a barrier is the native gem problem to JRuby? What about FFI (Foreign Function Interface) as an alternative to C extensions? Is this a long-term solution or is exhaustive porting of all native gems to the Java platform the only real option?
Charlie: There are three [options]. One is to port everything or to find an equivalent Java library and wrap it. That's generally the best way because it's going to work cross-platform, it's not going to have all the native library issues, and it'll probably perform better as well. FFI was also added to JRuby. It at least lets you get at the libraries programatically from Ruby without compiling code, without having the C extension API. The final option, which is kind of the last mile, is in JRuby 1.6 we'll ship our current beta support for actually building Ruby C extensions too.
DDJ: Wow, very interesting. I hadn't heard of that before!
Charlie: It was a Ruby Summer of Code project by Tim Felgentreff. He managed to take Wayne Meissner's work (another JRuby committer) and implement enough of the Ruby C API that a large number of extensions just work. It's awesome. I never thought we'd be able to actually do it, so he made a liar out of me.
It's a migration solution. If there's no other way than a C extension, nobody's used FFI, nobody's ported it... it's a stepping stone. It's very limited, because we can't run the extensions concurrently, it limits where and how you can deploy it [...] but if that's the one thing that's keeping someone from trying JRuby it's an option.
DDJ: I saw Daniel Jackoway's Ruboto talk [at Rubyconf] and came away very excited. This seems like a huge opportunity for JRuby, and for Ruby in general, to be able to develop and deploy applications using Ruby on Android mobile devices. Can you tell us a little bit more about the status of that project?
Charlie: There are folks who've started playing with commercial production applications that they're going to ship for Android with Ruboto stuff, but it's a little early still to be honest. [...] The tooling isn't all there yet, the API wrappers aren't complete yet, and the build process can be improved. It's probably in an early beta state or late alpha quality, as far as the tooling we have right now. It's just going to continue to improve from this point. There are a lot of people interested in seeing it work, so I think it's going to go fast.
DDJ: If there was one place inside the JRuby ecosystem where you could say you guys need help right now -- where the community could really help you out -- where would that be?
Tom: I think it's Windows. It's not because the support is necessarily bad, it's more that we want people day to day firing up JRuby in our actual master development tree [and getting us feedback].
Charlie: Talk to your local user group, submit JRuby talks to conferences.
Tom: I wouldn't say we're bad at "selling" JRuby at conferences, but nothing beats someone who's actually using JRuby selling it to an audience.
DDJ: The best salesman is always a customer, right?
Tom: Absolutely.
Charlie: Those make some of the most compelling talks we've seen, too.
Thanks to both Charlie and Tom for their time and hard work on such a great project. The preceding interview was transcribed from an audio recording of the conversation we had on November 11th and has been lightly edited for brevity. I should note that we also talked a fair bit about the Mirah language (which I'm personally very excited about) -- I'm sure I'll be writing more about Mirah in a future post. Stay tuned!At Rubyconf last week I had a chance to sit down with Thomas Enebo and Charles Nutter from the JRuby team. We talked about the current status of the project, what users have to look forward to in the next release, and a number of other questions regarding integration, deployment and tooling.

Hello Anil! How are you? I like your watercolours. This one is beautifully handled, lots of white paper showing giving a very translucent appearance.
Hello Rusty, I am good. I use blue and light yellow for that translucent appearance, and yes, you guessed it right, i love that. This is based on our family trip snap to pilgrimmage - on the way to temple, no cars, no roads, just steps... Thank you very much again...
Anil, your watercolors are beautiful. This one I think is especially lovely.
Thank you very much Bonnie. I am delighted that you like it. Thanks again from the bottom of my heart for your kind appreciation..

I go to my native place once in a year. Its is nested within hills. I have to climb up lot of steps to reach it. No roads, no railways, no planes. I feel like reaching eternity. I have tried to simulate that experince through this painting.
I have been working in the architectural field since last 15 years. I am fascinated by the aesthetics in art and built form. My fascination led me to venture into field of water color painting. Painting integrates all of the basic art expressions. I enjoy doing them and it's like finding invisible through visible. It has enriched my perception and understanding. It has always been another energizing factor for me. It helps me to think of leaping beyond my abilities. It is the expression of the whole experience. I have learnt to look at everything intensely through painting. I love challenges in painting like choosing subject, taking risks, play of lights/darks, colors, tones, textures, values and finding compositions in ordinary...

We would like to give our deepest condolences to everyone who lives within 50-miles of San Francisco, as their commute has just increased by at least an hour in each direction. Which means that Bay Area traffic worsens from its current level (about as bad as you can imagine) to Dante's third-concentric circle of Hell (that's where the sowers of discord and schism hang). A tanker truck crashed, its fuel load caught fire and the bridge on the Emeryville side simply melted. Amazingly, no one was killed. The Governator is on the scene and has already declared a state of emergency. The upside? All trains, buses and ferries are free for the next little while. The downside? It's not going to make one damn iota of difference traffic-wise. It should be noted that Bay Area-ites managed to soldier on without the Cypress Structure for eight-years after the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake. So, they'll be OK. Look for local residents/environmental whack jobs to tie up construction well into Kucinitch's second term.

"Faust" updated by the Met via PBS
Jonas Kaufmann takes the title role, Marina Poplavskaya sings the role of Marguerite, and René Pape plays the devil in a new production of Gounod's "Faust," directed by Tony Award winner Des McAnuff in his Met debut.
Under McAnuff's direction, the opera is updated to the first half of the 20th century.
Yannick Nézet-Séguin, who recently won raves for his "Don Carlo," conducts.
"Faust" will be broadcast Sunday, May 13, as part of PBS' "Great Performances at the Met," locally 1-4:30 p.m. on KRMA-Channel 6.
