In his essay Alen Jasarevic, architect of a mosque built in the town of Penzberg in Upper Bavaria, pays tribute to Islamic architecture. He hopes that the mosque in Penzberg will provide a shining example for other cities and communities
18 September 2005. Germany elects its first female chancellor. On the same day the Islamic Forum opens in the small town of Penzberg in Upper Bavaria. The Islamic community proudly presents its new home just outside the city centre.
Numerous Penzberg residents likewise applaud the building. The doubts many felt at the outset have given way to great enthusiasm and acceptance. Even the minaret is admired as a valuable addition to the cityscape.
In the first three years after it opened, more than 15,000 people have visited the forum. The small Islamic community has developed into an important social factor in Penzberg and environs.
Multifaceted offerings
German courses for members of the community, a child day-care centre, inter-religious mother and child groups and an ambitious educational support programme for elementary school children are just a few of the numerous offerings initiated by the Islamic Forum.
Much has changed in the Islamic community since the mosque opened. The community's statutes require members of its board to be fluent in spoken and written German, the Friday sermon is regularly held in German, and the language of communication in the community is also German (for many of its members, one would actually have to say Bavarian), the vice president is a woman, and mothers are taking on more and more tasks in the schools and kindergartens.
The number of Muslim children at secondary school is up sharply, and contacts with the church, and increasingly with the Jewish community as well, have been cemented and intensified. A high degree of mutual trust and friendship between Muslims and non-Muslims is in ample evidence here.
Adaptation to cultural and social environment
What role can architecture play in this process of rapprochement? Over the centuries, Islamic architecture has brought forth grandiose masterworks. Between Spain and China, South-Eastern Europe and Central Africa, Muslim architects have created a rich legacy of forms. They have very sensitively adapted their mosques – and other buildings as well – to the given social, economic, cultural and climatic surroundings.
This architectural heritage is one point of departure for our work. Beyond questions of art and the Golden Section, however, the social and societal dimension of architecture is also of great import. A mosque will only be accepted and deemed a successful project if it is capable of mastering the social and artistic challenges at hand.
We firmly believe that a Central European mosque type will evolve with which Muslim immigrants, particularly those in the third and fourth generations, as well as non-Muslim citizens can identify more readily than with the traditional mosque types found in the Islamic world.
Integral component of German cities
Next to the church and the town hall, the mosque and the synagogue will become unquestioned features of the cityscape. This development is still in its infancy. Fixed ideas and prejudices against mosques that have become entrenched over generations must be broken down on both sides.
The Ottoman interpretation of the mosque as a building with a central dome and pointed minaret is still regarded as the sole legitimate architectural type. Even mosque opponents evoke this image on their protest posters. In fact, however, this type is just one possibility in a broad spectrum of Islamic architectural variety.
The first mosque was the residence of the Prophet Mohammed: a simple, partially roofed rectangular house built around a courtyard. The muezzin stood on the roof to call the faithful to prayer. The minaret and dome developed only in the subsequent period under the first caliphs.
The ensuing centuries witnessed a wide range of different mosque types. A Chinese minaret, for example, looks more like a pagoda, and an earthen mosque in Africa something like an anthill.
Nevertheless, all mosques fulfil the same task – they are places of prayer and of prostration before God (the meaning of the word 'mosque' in Arabic) and are therefore of equal value. A Central European mosque with its own distinguishing features is therefore every bit as legitimate as, for example, a hall mosque in the Maghreb. Conversely, a traditional Chinese mosque would be just as out of place in Turkey as is a traditional Ottoman mosque in Germany.
Places of communication
Mosques have always been places of communication and not primarily prestigious showcases. Particularly in an open and pluralistic society, the task of communication is of central importance. An unceremonious and unbiased atmosphere is particularly conducive to fruitful conversation. Buildings that insist on the preservation of traditions can instead become barriers between people.
When the Islamic community of Penzberg first invited me to a meeting, I was surprised at the provisional character of their prayer house. This character rubs off over time onto the work of the community and its board of directors. Everything is provisional.
But in Penzberg it was more the case that everything was in flux. In the course of our conversation the young, charismatic imam painted a stirring vision of the future of Muslims in Germany. Finally! A community that sees itself and its religion as a self-evident part of German society.
As the last touches were put onto the mosque, we architects were at the construction site every day to coordinate and supervise the work. During those days I noticed an older man who regularly visited the building site. One day, he took me aside and asked about the minaret, when it was coming and whether it would fit into its environment.
A remarkable work of art
It turned out that he lived right across the street from the mosque and he and his wife were concerned about the outcome of the project. I assured him that I stood by my word that with the minaret the community would be presenting the city with a remarkable work of art.
The neighbour thanked the board of directors at the opening and told them that he and his wife now drink their coffee in the evening at the window with the curtains drawn back so they can enjoy the lovely view.
I often ask myself which part the architecture actually plays in the success of the Islamic community here. The building is naturally only a passe-partout, a frame for the community, and without the activities and openness of its members even the most beautiful mosque would not be a success.
Still, though, the architecture does make a vital contribution. An exceptional, aesthetically pleasing, open and transparently conceived building helps the community to achieve an identity and acquire self-confidence.
In retrospect it can be said that the board of directors acted wisely and with foresight. The fears of the residents were taken seriously and were all laid to rest in the course of many joint meetings. Overall, a project was realised that will hopefully form a shining example for many other cities and communities.

The Transparent Penzberg Mosque
No Longer in the Backyard
Almost whenever plans are made to build a mosque in Germany, there's a heated debate. But in the Bavarian town of Penzberg, a new mosque has had a positive influence on the way in which Muslims and Christians live together. Francisca Zecher reports
Mosque Construction in Germany
Staying in Dialogue
The construction of mosques has increasingly become a political issue in Germany. It is no different in Frankfurt. Recently, however, the foundation stone was laid for the Hazrat Fatima Mosque. Critics of the construction project were also present. Nilüfer Parasiz reports

This is 11th decree issued by the new elected president and it is by the most important one and God knows the implications of such decision for real.
Now there are interesting points regarding this decree :
- Officially the Parliament will hold its first session tomorrow but ironically according to the law this is the time of its summer vacation !!
- The Constitutional declaration annex issued by SCAF says the parliamentary elections to be held within a month after approving the new drafted constitution !!
- The good thing we are going to have an interim parliament.
- According to some experts the presidential decree cancels the decision of SCAF to disband the people's assembly and is not against the court's rule
|A copy from the presidential decree
Most of the media is against the decree already but we should not forget that the media can not stomach the new president or his group.
SCAF finished its a meeting to discuss the new presidential decree but the Freedom and Justice members like Essam El Arian are praising the army. It is expected that they will issue a statement tomorrow
The Supreme constitutional court will hold a meeting tomorrow for its general assembly to discuss the decree of the president. The SCC judges are angry.
By the way a friend of mine met one of the controversial MPs from couple of days ago who told him that the parliament will be back this week.
The Egyptian Social democratic party is going to boycott the parliament !!
Those against the presidential decree began to connect between its timing and the visit of William Burns, the US deputy Secretary of State to Cairo and his meeting with Morsi. Burns as well US ambassador in Cairo spoke in statements in the past 48 hours about the importance of the elected parliament. But to be honest people tend to forget that Morsi promised in his speech at Cairo university that the people's assembly will return back to do its legislative role.
Now here is quick reactions online from politicians and MPs about the matter.
Personally I have been labelled Mubarak's regime supporter and one of the Salafists on twitter wondered since when I had been with the revolution just because I was retweeting tweets opposing to their views.
I am with and against the decree of Morsi because the decree of SCAF to disband the democratically elected parliament despite how disfigured was completely wrong but on the other hand I am worried about that this violation against the judicial authority.
It is a political conflict actually between Muslim brotherhood and SCAF over power where the future of the country is just like a football between the two.
I will not forget easily on how Al Nour Party "Salafists" wants to cancel the Supreme Constitutional court.

text: Red Bulls RDS U-12 Generation adidas Cup tournament diary Tweet Red Bulls RDS U-12s © On Wednesday, March 23, 2016, an excitable group of 12 highly talented young soccer players departed Newark, NJ, heading to Dallas, Texas, where they would be representing the New York Red Bulls in the 2016 Generation adidas Cup (GA Cup). The group of players, all of whom are members of the Red Bulls Regional Development School (RDS), were selected for the event after a four week tryout process. The group spent the next four days competing against team from MLS, Spain and Mexico. LEARN MORE: Regional Development School Red Bulls U-12 academy coach Kobie Johnson was also in attendance to scout the next batch of academy hopefuls. In it's second year at the U-12 age group, the GA Cup grew to 16 teams from four different countries, providing players the opportunity to compete against some of the top players in their age group. Toyota Soccer Center in Dallas, Texas, hosted the event. Preparation for the tournament was in short supply for the RDS squad, with the roster finalized only a month before the tournament. In that time, the players assembled for four practices, including a scrimmage against last year's RDS 2003 GA Cup team. This also gave current RDS players the opportunity to speak with these experienced players, asking them questions about what to expect from the trip. REGISTER: RDS Spring and Summer programs open for registration In additional warm-up events, the players had the opportunity to be ball boys at a New York Red Bulls home game, watching the Red Bulls come from behind to beat Houston Dynamo at Red Bull Arena, 4-3, as well as representing Red Bulls Training Programs in a demonstration at the Red Bulls Youth Club Summit. After a smooth flight to Texas, the team touched down in Dallas and headed straight for their hotel. Once checked in, the boys went immediately to their first field session to get their legs moving and prepare for their first game against Villarreal the next morning. Game 1: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (1) vs. Villarreal CF U-12 (4) The RDS boys faced Spanish giants Villarreal in their opening game of the competition. Far from ideal soccer conditions greeted both teams, with a strong wind gusting across the field. The game did not start well for the Red Bulls, conceding within the first minute of the match, with nerves affecting the young team from New York. The one goal deficit quickly became two as the Spanish side showed their quality early on. After surrendering two goals, the Red Bulls settled into the game. Athan Ladas came off the bench and displayed great composure on the ball to help New York build out from the back while Kevin Terhune keeping the score at two with a couple of fine diving saves. A strong end to the half was dampened by a late goal for Villarreal as New York headed into the break trailing, 3-0. The Red Bulls came out with great vigor for the second of the 15-minute halves and pulled a goal back through Simon Adjakple after good work by captain Michael Olivieri. The gap was almost closed further as Phil Koutsaftis cut in from the left wing, beating two players before seeing his right footed shot fly inches wide of the far post. The Red Bulls continued to look dangerous with Jacob Lee pulling the strings in the midfield and Adjakple a constant threat down the wing. However, as the Red Bulls pushed for a second goal, they were caught on the counter attack with Villarreal striking a late goal to make the final score, 4-1. Far from being dejected, the team had played some very good soccer against a quality side and had it not have been for the slow start to the game, it could have been a very different encounter. Game 2: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (2) vs. Houston Dynamo U-12 (4) After the first of many, many bananas of the week, as well as a granola bar and some water, the boys were back in action for their second game of the day. They took heed of the lessons they had learned from game one, this time flying out of the blocks at the opening whistle. Just minutes into the game, Mikey Olivieri notched his first goal of the tournament as he fired in a right-footed free kick into the bottom corner of the net. The lead was short lived, however, as Houston struck back to tie. Olivieri scored his second of the day to restore Red Bulls' lead - again direct from a set piece - this time curling the ball around the wall and into the side netting at the back post with a perfectly placed shot. The game itself was not a thing of beauty, as both teams battled and fought hard in the blustery conditions, but struggled to get the ball down on the perfectly manicured grass and combine effectively. It was the Dynamo who emerged victorious, 4-2, as the Red Bulls ended day one with two defeats. After heading back to the hotel to debrief the first day, the team endured a regeneration session in the frigid hotel pool. After the pool, it was back to the field for the boys so that they could cheer on the New York Red Bulls U16 academy team as they competed in the U-17 bracket of the GA Cup. Despite their two defeats earlier in the day spirits were high, as the RDS team sang and cheered as they watched the U16s battle back from a goal behind to tie Valencia U-17. The tie meant the game would result in penalty kicks to decide the winner, and the RDS boys did their best to distract each Valencia taker. To good effect too, as the Spanish team missed each of their first three kicks to see the Red Bulls come away with a win from the spot, 3-0. Dinner that night was followed by a video analysis session as the RDS coaches took the boys through some footage from the Houston game, highlighting some aspects of the game that the boys needed to work on ahead of day two as well as showcasing some of the best moments from day one's play. Game 3: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (2) vs. FC Dallas Blue U-12 (0) An early start on day two saw the Red Bulls square off against the host side, FC Dallas. Perfect soccer conditions greeted both teams, with the sun shining and only a slight breeze blowing. From the offset, New York appeared more confident and comfortable than on day one, moving the ball well and dominating possession. They didn't have to wait long to take the lead in the game either, with Mikey Olivieri and Simon Adjakple continuing their goal scoring form from day one, bagging a goal apiece. At the other end, Oscar Bowring was fantastic at the back alongside Athan Ladas, with goalkeeper's Owen Moore and Kevin Terhune both making fine saves to oversee the team's first shut out of the competition. Another fine performance came from Jacob Lenhard, stepping off the bench to drive the Red Bulls forward from the middle of the park with his trademark work rate and determination. Perhaps the brightest moment of the tournament thus far came in the second half, with a passing move involving Oscar Bowring, Brian Babovic and Nico Beninda, which resulted in Simon Adjakple setting up Athan Ladas, only to see his first-time strike fly wide. With the win, 2-0, it was a job well done and the first three points on the board for the RDS team. Game 4: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (3) vs. Portland Timbers U-12 (1) Buoyed by their success in the first game of the day, the Red Bulls took to the field for game two brimming with confidence and looked the better team from the offset. Two goals from Simon Adjakple - the first a wonderful strike on his left foot after turning his defender following a good ball sent into his feet by Ethan Choi, and another from Mikey Olivieri - were enough to dispatch of a hard working Portland side. Brian Babovic and Jake Lee also came close as the Red Bulls created several good goal-scoring chances, only to see the Portland goalkeeper make some excellent saves. It was a game that the players clearly enjoyed, with the Red Bulls U-16 squad returning the gesture from the day before and coming out to cheer on their younger counterparts. The RDS team spent the afternoon recovering from their morning exertions, including another regeneration session in the pool, before unwinding at a players lounge event organized by adidas where the boys played table tennis, table football and FIFA. The highlight of the event was a chance to listen to Real Madrid and Spain legend Raul speak, including a Q&A session about his career. From there, the boys enjoyed another fabulous dinner at the local steak house before spending the evening going over video footage from day two as they reflected on what they had done so well earlier that day, and prepared for the challenges ahead of them the next morning. Game 5: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (0) vs. Orlando City SC U-12 (2) Saturday morning saw the RDS team face fellow east coast side, Orlando City. The Red Bulls started the game with a relentless press, creating numerous scoring chances and dominating possession and territory. Nico Beninda looked sharp in the midfield and was at the heart of many of the Red Bulls best attacking moments. Orlando City struck first against the run of play to see the RDS come in at one goal behind at the break. The second period continued in the same vain as the first, but the Red Bulls could not get the best of an Orlando goalkeeper in inspired form and eventually fell two goals behind. Orlando's Braedon Seymour (a RDS summer camper himself) put his side two goals ahead, striking against his peers. Brian Babovic came mightily close to scoring a 25-yard screamer that whistled just wide of the post, but try as they might, the Red Bulls could not haul themselves back into the game and were left bitterly disappointed in the result. Game 6: New York Red Bulls RDS U-12 (0) vs. Atlanta United FC U-12 (3) The loss against Orlando meant that the RDS would face Atlanta in their final game of the competition. Again the Red Bulls played some great soccer, building well from the back through Oscar Bowring and Ethan Choi and combining to good effect through the midfield. Sadly, they were not able to convert the chances that they created and saw Atlanta strike twice before the break. Atlanta furthered their lead in the second half on a free kick. Despite the results on the day, the view in camp was that the results did not reflected the team's performances and in fact received many plaudits from opposing coaches and onlookers alike. The final day of the competition ended with the Red Bulls RDS U-12s watching Villareal U-12 against Chivas Guadalajara U-12 in the final match of the competition, before watching the Red Bulls U-16s close out their week against the Mexico U-17 Men's National Team. Saturday evening saw the RDS team head to the local bowling lanes. Some interesting techniques were on show throughout the night, with Owen Moore, Oscar Bowring, Ethan Choi, and Phil Koutsaftis all putting in impressive performances. None however could top Coach Zach as he was crowned RDS bowling champion for 2016. Nico Beninda did however have one last impressive performance inside of him, as he set a new all-time record on the "Crossy Road" game as the boys enjoyed some time exploring the arcades before heading back to the hotel. A final team meeting rounded off the trip, giving the team a chance to reflect on what they encountered this week, and how it may benefit them moving forward. The boys then headed off to bed to set their alarms in time for the 5 a.m. departure that awaited them the next morning. The following day saw the team return to Newark, N.J. The players were greeted by family and friends, and shared their newfound experience for the rest of the day. This trip may well have served as one of the most important aspects of each player's development to date. The tournament opened players' eyes to the depth of talent out there, providing them with the inspiration to improve as individuals to earn more opportunities to play at such a high level in similar prestigious, professional events. Each and every player was a credit to themselves, their families, the RDS program and the New York Red Bulls as a whole, with both their performances on the field and their behavior off it drawing praise from all that they came in contact with throughout the trip.

This is the thirteenth conference conference on Artificial Intelligence and Statistics and the first to be held in Europe. Formerly AISTATS was held every two years. In the future the plan is to hold the meeting each year alternating between North America and Europe. AISTATS is an interdisciplinary gathering of researchers at the intersection of computer science, statistics, and related areas. Since its inception in 1985, the primary goal of this conference has been to broaden research in both of these fields by promoting the exchange of ideas between them. We encourage the submission of all papers which are in keeping with this objective.
We have prepared a booklet containing abstracts and details of the programme. This will not be available in printed form at the conference, so please print it out and bring it along with you. It is available here.
Each poster session will contain about 45 posters. There will be 24 panels of approximately 1.5m width and 1m height. There will be a poster on each side of these panels. That means that A0 landscape will be a good fit, but A0 portraint would be a little too big.
Summer School: Before AISTATS there will be an MLSS Summer School on Machine Learning and Cognitive Science.
Post Meeting Workshop: After AISTATS there will be a workshop on Active Learning and Experimental Design.

The Watchdog Institute has an interesting piece on Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack, who represents the Palm Springs area. The widow of the singer Sonny Bono, the congresswoman receives as much as $1 million a year in royalties from her late husband's work. She's also introduced and supported legislation that could benefit the companies that pay the royalties -- and could benefit artists and those who rely on such royalties.
From my reading, I don't see a great scandal here. But it is troubling that Bono Mack isn't disclosing all the sources of her royalty payments. Given her interest in legislation in this area, she needs to let the public know about every penny she gets from the entertainment industry.

The mechatronic design and the two stage calibration procedure for an eyesafe laser rangefinder, based on the lateral-effect photodiode (LEP), are presented. The sensor acquires two-dimensional range data, and is active in the sense that it can change the orientation of its field of view in order to track useful range features. An analysis of LEP operation shows that image position measurement repeatability, normalised with respect to the detector half length, is equal to the signal current to noise current ratio. This result allows accurate estimation of the variance of individual range measurements, making the sensor particularly amenable to statistically based range feature detection. Range data acquisition, range feature extraction and control of the active head behaviour are all implemented on a local network of six transputers. This parallel structure is described and it is shown how the sensor constitutes an intelligent agent in a balanced sensor suite for the guidance of close range mobile robot manoeuvres.

text: Pat LaFrieda: The White Label Burgers I had the recent pleasure of working with Pat LaFrieda Jr. and his wonderful team for photographing their special White Label burgers. You might be inquiring what would make them so special? My answer would be it's usually made only for super chef Michael White for his restaurant Ai Fiori – and the restaurant only serve this for lunch. This label is a mix of chuck, brisket, short rib, and aged rib-eye. When the burger is cooked to a medium rare, it's rich, luscious, hefty (it's a half pound of meat for each patty)..

Gean, who was also "Bachelor of Ugliness" taught at Lipscomb in the business department before joining the faculty at Pepperdine University in Malibu, Calif., where has taught the past 30 years. Gean was in town for a reunion of the "Miracle" Bisons and spent some time talking with lipscombsports.com.
What sports did you play at Lipscomb? What years? Who were your coaches?
"I played baseball for Ken Dugan all four years. In basketball I played for coach Dugan my first two years and for Mike Clark my junior and senior years. I played from 1968-72.
"Some people accused coach Dugan of recruiting me for baseball using the basketball budget."
What is your fondest athletic memory at Lipscomb?
"One memory would be against Western Kentucky in 1970 or 1971 where I hit a grand slam in the first inning. And then the bases got loaded again and I missed a second grand slam by just inches.
"The triple I got in 1971 in the NAIA World Series against Appalachian State to keep us going was a highlight. We were in the loser's bracket. It was the ninth inning with two outs and nobody on base. We were down 13-10. Ted Jamison singled. Butch Stinson got a hit. It was my turn to step up and I was not about to be the one who ended it. I closed my eyes and swung and brought them in. We eventually won 14-13.
"Collectively, the way we were supported in the World Series and the way we played is a favorite."
What is your fondest non-athletic memory from your time at Lipscomb?
"The classroom experiences in the accounting classes stand out. Dr. Axel Swang was quite a classroom performer. I was an accounting major and Dr. Swang, Hal Wilson and Charles Frasier inspired me to study accounting.">/i>
What is the most valuable thing you gained or learned from your time at Lipscomb?
"It is about more than just earning a living. It is what is inside that counts.
"The whole environment was great at Lipscomb. When you combined Dr. Swang with coach Dugan you learned about having a strong work ethic. It was kind of a double whammy. "
Who was your favorite professor? Why?
"Axel Swang was my favorite professor. I visited him during this trip. He was such a big baseball fan. I really admired his work ethic.
"He pushed me to follow the C.P.A. route and he encouraged me to do graduate work. He was a great mentor."
Where do you live now?
"I live in Simi Valley, Calif. My e-mail is firstname.lastname@example.com."
Who is your employer? What is your occupation? What does your position entail?
"The end of April will be the end of my 30th year at Pepperdine. I went there in the fall of 1981. I am a professor of accounting. "They have been awfully good to me out there. The accounting students there are very good. I don't know if I could have made it as a student there. I have a great view of the Pacific Ocean from my office."
Tell us about your family.
"My wife, Virginia Young Gean, is from South Carolina. Her Dad, Ed Young, was a United States Congressman from South Carolina. We have been married for 15 years.
"She had her own business for 15 years making women's suits. She has her MBA. She does some adjunct teaching at Pepperdine."

Introducing Calma: Designed exclusively for breastmilk feeding.
Switching from bottle back to breast has never been easier. Calma was developed using evidence-based research on babies' natural feeding behavior so mothers and babies can enjoy their breastfeeding bond longer.
With Calma, the milk will only flow if the baby works and creates vacuum to remove the milk. This enables the feeding behavior learned at the breast to be used with Calma.
Medela hosted a virtual roundtable to discuss breastfeeding in the U.S. and provide an inside look at Calma. Watch now for important research and insights
Learn more about the right feeding solution for breastfeeding mothers.

Important: Plastic bottles and component parts become brittle when frozen and may break when dropped. Also, bottles and component parts may become damaged if mishandled, e.g. dropped, over-tightened, or knocked over. Take appropriate care in handling bottles and components. Do not use the breastmilk if bottles or components become damaged.
Calma has been designed to be used with Medela's bottles and containers. We have not done testing on other manufacturer's containers. You may find that you can thread Calma onto other bottles but you may find that this combination may leak or cause other issues. We do not recommend using Calma with any other manufacturer containers.
Calma has been designed to be exclusively used with breast milk and as such we cannot attest to Calma being used with other food.
Calma is compatible with all Medela containers, including the Colostrum containers, 80 ml, 5 oz and 8 oz bottles.
Cleaning & Care
Prior to first use and after each use:
Multiple nipple sizes are not required as the baby controls the flow of milk through vacuum. The baby will apply more or less vacuum to Calma as its need for milk changes throughout breastfeeding duration.
Whether your product instruction manual is lost, ripped, or covered in spit–up — We always have it available for you here.

DataNucleus, by default, provides certain functionality. In particular circumstances some of this functionality may not be appropriate and it may be desirable to turn on or off particular features to gain more performance for the application in question. This section contains a few common tips
You should perform enhancement before runtime. That is, do not use java agent since it will enhance classes at runtime, when you want responsiveness from your application.
DataNucleus provides 4 PersistenceManagerFactory properties datanucleus.autoCreateSchema , datanucleus.autoCreateTables , datanucleus.autoCreateColumns , and datanucleus.autoCreateConstraints that allow creation of the datastore tables. This can cause performance issues at startup. We recommend setting these to false at runtime, and instead using SchemaTool to generate any required database schema before running DataNucleus (for RDBMS, HBase) .
DataNucleus provides 3 PersistenceManagerFactory properties datanucleus.validateTables , datanucleus.validateConstraints , datanucleus.validateColumns that enforce strict validation of the datastore tables against the Meta-Data defined tables. This can cause performance issues at startup. In general this should be run only at schema generation, and should be turned off for production usage. Set all of these properties to false . In addition there is a PMF property datanucleus.rdbms.CheckExistTablesOrViews which checks whether the tables/views that the classes map onto are present in the datastore. This should be set to false if you require fast start-up. Finally, the property datanucleus.rdbms.initializeColumnInfo determines whether the default values for columns are loaded from the database. This property should be set to NONE to avoid loading database metadata.
To sum up, the optimal settings with schema creation and validation disabled are:
#schema creation datanucleus.autoCreateSchema=false datanucleus.autoCreateTables=false datanucleus.autoCreateColumns=false datanucleus.autoCreateConstraints=false #schema validation datanucleus.validateTables=false datanucleus.validateConstraints=false datanucleus.validateColumns=false datanucleus.rdbms.CheckExistTablesOrViews=false datanucleus.rdbms.initializeColumnInfo=None
Creation of PersistenceManagerFactory and EntityManagerFactory objects can be expensive and should be kept to a minimum. Depending on the structure of your application, use a single persistence factory per datastore wherever possible. Clearly if your application spans multiple servers then this may be impractical, but should be borne in mind.
You can improve startup speed by setting the property datanucleus.autoStartMechanism to None . This means that it won't try to load up the classes (or better said the metadata of the classes) handled the previous time that this schema was used. If this isn't an issue for your application then you can make this change. Please refer to the Auto-Start Mechanism for full details.
Some RDBMS (such as Oracle) have trouble returning information across multiple catalogs/schemas and so, when DataNucleus starts up and tries to obtain information about the existing tables, it can take some time. This is easily remedied by specifying the catalog/schema name to be used - either for the PMF as a whole (using the persistence properties javax.jdo.mapping.Catalog , javax.jdo.mapping.Schema ) or for the package/class using attributes in the MetaData. This subsequently reduces the amount of information that the RDBMS needs to search through and so can give significant speed ups when you have many catalogs/schemas being managed by the RDBMS.
Clearly the structure of your application will have a major influence on how you utilise a PersistenceManager or EntityManager. A pattern that gives a clean definition of process is to use a different persistence manager for each request to the data access layer. This reduces the risk of conflicts where one thread performs an operation and this impacts on the successful completion of an operation being performed by another thread. Creation of PM/EM's is not an expensive process and use of multiple threads writing to the same persistence manager should be avoided.
Where you have an inheritance tree it is best to add a discriminator to the base class so that it's simple for DataNucleus to determine the class name for a particular row. This results in cleaner/simpler SQL which is faster to execute. Otherwise it would be necessary to do a UNION of all possible tables.
DataNucleus, by default, will allocate connections when they are required. It then will close the connection. In addition, when it needs to perform something via JDBC (RDBMS datastores) it will allocate a PreparedStatement, and then discard the statement after use. This can be inefficient relative to a database connection and statement pooling facility such as Apache DBCP. With Apache DBCP a Connection is allocated when required and then when it is closed the Connection isn't actually closed but just saved in a pool for the next request that comes in for a Connection. This saves the time taken to establish a Connection and hence can give performance speed ups the order of maybe 30% or more. You can read about how to enable connection pooling with DataNucleus in the Connection Pooling Guide.
As an addendum to the above, you could also turn on caching of PreparedStatements. This can also give a noticeable performance boost, depending on your persistence code and the SQL being issued. Look at the persistence property datanucleus.connectionPool.maxStatements .
When retrieving objects using their identity, and when the object is cached, DataNucleus by default will validate the existence of the object before handing it out. You can skip this check by setting the persistence property datanucleus.findObject.validateWhenCached to false
DataNucleus verifies if newly persisted objects are memory reachable on commit, if they are not, they are removed from the database. This process mirrors the garbage collection, where objects not referenced are garbage collected or removed from memory. Reachability is expensive because it traverses the whole object tree and may require reloading data from database. If reachability is not needed by your application, you should disable it. To disable reachability set to false the persistence property datanucleus.persistenceByReachabilityAtCommit .
DataNucleus will, by default, perform a check on any bidirectional relations to make sure that they are set at both sides at commit. If they aren't set at both sides then they will be made consistent. This check process can involve the (re-)loading of some instances. You can skip this step if you always set both sides of a relation by setting the persistence property datanucleus.manageRelationships to false .
DataNucleus provides a series of value generators for generation of identity values. These can have an impact on the performance depending on the choice of generator, and also on the configuration of the generator.
The native identity generator value is the recommended choice since this will allow DataNucleus to decide which identity generator is best for the RDBMS in use.
DataNucleus has 2 ways of handling calls to SCO Collections/Maps. The original method was to pass all calls through to the datastore. The second method (which is now the default) is to cache the collection/map elements/keys/values. This second method will read the elements/keys/values once only and thereafter use the internally cached values. This second method gives significant performance gains relative to the original method. You can configure the handling of collections/maps as follows :-
The second method also allows a finer degree of control. This allows the use of lazy loading of data, hence elements will only be loaded if they are needed. You can configure this as follows :-
NontransactionalRead has advantages and disadvantages in performance and data freshness in cache. In NontransactionalRead=true mode, the PersistenceManager is able to read objects outside a transaction. The objects read are held cached by the PersistenceManager. The second time a user application requests the same objects from the PersistenceManager they are retrieved from cache. The time spent reading the object from cache is minimum, but the objects may become stale and not represent the database status. If fresh values need to be loaded from the database, then the user application should first call refresh on the object.
Another disadvantage of NontransactionalRead=true mode is due to each operation realized opens a new database connection, but it can be minimized with the use of connection pools.
Reading objects outside a transaction and PersistenceManager is a trivial task, but performed in a certain manner can determine the application performance. The objective here is not give you an absolute response on the subject, but point out the benefits and drawbacks for the many possible solutions.
The most expensive in terms of performance is the detachCopy because it makes copies of persistent objects. The advantage of detachment (via detachCopy or detachAllOnCommit ) is that changes made outside the transaction can be futher used to update the database in a new transaction. The other methods also allow changes outside of the transaction, but the changed instances can't be used to update the database.
In RetainValues=true and makeTransient no object copies are made and the object values are set down in instances when the PersistenceManager disassociates them. Both methods are equivalent in performance, however the makeTransient method will set the values of the object during the instant the makeTransient method is invoked, and the RetainValues=true will set values of the object during commit.
The bottom line is to not use detachment if instances will only be used to read values.
When fetching objects you have control over what gets fetched. This can have an impact if you are then detaching those objects. With JDO the maximum fetch depth is 1, whereas with JPA it is -1 (unlimited). So with JPA you ought to set it to the extent that you want to detach, or better still make use of DataNucleus fetch groups to control the specific fields to detach.
If you are retrieving an object by its identity and know that it will be present in the Level2 cache, for example, you can set the persistence property datanucleus.findObject.validateWhenCached to false and this will skip a separate call to the datastore to validate that the object exists in the datastore.

The quote in the title is from a comment made by a poster to a recent article in Slate about the Boston Symphony Orchestra's current search for a new conductor now that maestro James Levine will be leaving. The full quote is:
A few years ago the Boston Globe wrote an article about a whispering campaign against Ozawa, which basically said "Ozawa can't be a good composer [sic]; being Japanese, he has nor [sic] European blood in his veins to make sense of our European repertoire.["] Maybe they should find some black female rising star and watch them tie themselves into knots. Seriously, I would look to the future and choose Gustavo Dudamel. If some members of the orchestra "erect barriers" retire them – immediately [my emphasis].
which I find a bit baffling. At the same time I can also understand the sentiment since at this blog I write quite a bit about various countries and their respective indigenous art musics. It's so difficult for folks to separate out ethnic ancestry and cultural institutions as opposed to ethnic ancestry and the musical history of the indigenous arts. Japan, of course, has a centuries long art music tradition (e.g. Gagaku, Nōgaku, Jōruri).
I think that it can be difficult for folks to understand what relevance that, say, Japanese Court Music like Gagaku (雅楽, literally "elegant music") can have for society in general. But in a sense, that is increasingly the position Western Classical Music has in relation to society especially as newer music written in the style isn't actively being promoted within the mainstream institutions.

Thanks. It's good to be here.
Hello Walter, I appreciate the add. I just finished reading your "My Journey" post, it is a commendable thing you have done, it would take a strong man being the head of a family. Reading about your father reminds me of some of the men I was able to be around when I was younger. You wouldn't happen to be from the south would you? lol. Take care, and have a good one!

A cursory viewing of this little instance of interspecies squee might lead you to incorrectly assume that Elephant and Dog are friends. They are not. Elephant is clearly fucking with Dog while Dog is trying to sleep, probably after a long day of work, probably because Elephant is shiftless and doesn't have a job. Elephant spends all day getting high and watching Pauly Shore movies, and is all, "BUT DOG" when dog passes out bone-tired from trying to scrape enough money together to pay the cable bill.

Bar Eats: 3 Floyds Brewpub Worth the Trek to Indiana
Being The Best means you don't have to apologize. It means you make any ridiculous rule you see fit and set prices a little too high because you know people will pay them. Because you are the best. And yes, it means a little arrogance. That attitude often begets haters, which in turn begets a take it or leave it attitude from The Best, which ultimately begets scathing Yelp and Beer Advocate retorts and strained customer service relations. Just ask my beloved, bygone Pasticceria Natalina or Great Lake. Just ask 3 Floyds.
There is so much I want to say about 3 Floyds I'm not sure where to start. The grumblings of a satellite location in Chicago, the attitude, the insistent rumors that the brewery has burned down all come to mind. But the beer seems the most logical place, as 3 Floyds is, first and foremost, a brewery. Started in 1996, the Floyd brothers' "not normal" style is characterized by aggressive, hoppy beers with names like Arctic Panzer Wolf. They are now, arguably, one of the best craft breweries in the country.
The brewpub in nearby Munster, Indiana has been open for just over seven years now, and it's been fascinating to watch it grow up. The menu has changed along with the décor. Long gone are the crusty, thrift store couches, graffiti-encouraged bathroom walls, and Any Dorm Room, USA vibe. There's soft lighting now. An organic herb and veggie garden. Cloth napkins. It's like the place won Extreme Brewery Makeover, except for the constant pulse of death metal.
About that menu: They've gone through a couple chefs and menu changes, but hopefully this one sticks. While the beers are a bit pricey, considering you are at the source, the food is very Munster-ly priced. The menu, like the beer, is unapologetically in your face with flavor you can't avoid. What hops are to the beer, salt is to these dishes. Let's dig in.
I have to start with the lamb meatballs ($8), because they are one of the best things I've eaten in a while. It is worth the drive for these gems alone. Moist, full-flavored without being heavy, these tasty morsels come atop warm ricotta, and are gussied up with fried kale, toasted pistachios, and preserved grapefruit. First off, lamb has a very distinct flavor, but it is toned down here. And just as the best fish is the least fishy-tasting, this is a compliment. The pistachios add a crunchy texture, and you get the sweet and sour grapefruit at the end. The kale's bitterness is balanced out by the flash-fry. It reminds me of a savory cannoli, but in such a good way. Just outstanding.
Sometimes good things come in bad presentations. I'll use the crispy French fries in herbed butter ($4) as my example. They arrived ensconced in sheet paper spiraling out of a draft mug, so that we couldn't even see them. But as soon as they found their way to my mouth, all was forgiven. They are rich, crunchy, double-fried, and then tossed in butter. I'm a ketchup guy, but I didn't even make a move toward the bottle. Hints of thyme and oregano kept wafting off these things, and, like a Dreadnaught or Zombie Dust, I could have just smelled them all day and gone to bed happy.
The mac'n'cheese ($6) is a gooey blend of Havarti, Gouda, and provolone over shell pasta. It is thick and creamy, with garlic and salt coming through the baked, crispy finish. And the fresh chives work to cut the heaviness just a bit while adding some great flavor.
The fried rice ($10) is a nice hangover helper, featuring basmati rice, finely-diced green and red peppers, black-eyed peas, pork belly, a sunny egg, and a cilantro gremolata. The thick hunk of pork belly sits there like the feather in the cap of this dish, though it was a little tough. The egg was nice and runny, and the black-eyed peas give a wonderful counter-texture to the rice. It is super savory, a bit greasy—everything you want to make you forget last night and order some hair of the dog.
I loved the idea of the chicharron nachos ($7) more than the actual execution. Queso fresco, pico de gallo with red pepper, and guacamole top these housemade, translucent chicharrones, which kind of look like the love children of honeycomb and bubble wrap. And indeed they are delicate, not an adjective you would normally associate with pork skin. The flavors are good and fresh, but the texture is kind of like, um, the lovechild of honeycomb and bubble wrap. Like some of their experimental beers, glad I ordered it, but there are too many other good things on the menu.
What sets 3 Floyds apart from, say, the $9 cannoli undoing of Pasticceria Natalina is that they have realized that it is possible to compromise a little and still keep your integrity intact. Tattoos are big around here, and tattoos tell a narrative. I was writing before about bars with identity crises, and the sun-faded tattoos of Simpsons toys and soccer club flags seem somewhat incongruous now. But it's only because they are part of the process, they are part of the growth, and they are part of the Floyds. It makes sense in its own way. It's who they are, with no apologies necessary.

Logging In:
- Pitbull 3.0, SCT, FuBar 3.6, and IceHUD had updates to download from Curse
- Stuck at retrieving character list for about 4 minutes
- Logging in with a full loading bar for 6 minutes (still loading), though hearing the dings of others logging in! Sitting in vent; a couple guildies are in the game and noting the NPCs have disappeared.
Children's Week
- Trying to find the NPC for the children's week stuff... ah, there she is! She's outside the "Alliance" bank and inn, standing by the statue in the plaza, near the fishing fountain. You can choose which of the two "children" you want to look after, regardless of your current faction standing... I chose Wolvar.
- Cowtip looks broken. :( Default tooltips are running, even though I told it to load out-of-date addons. Oomni says it's turned on (glad I installed Oomni before the patch, btw, so I don't have to log out to turn addons on and off!). Weird. Used LunarSphere to move the annoying game tooltips back to lock against the right side of my screen where they belong.
- Spent the next bit lagging all over Dalaran. And then lagging all over Dragonblight just attempting to talk to my Wolvar orphan, since I hoped lag would be less outside of Dalaran :)
Pup Kekek wants me to take him all over the world... in this lag? He wants to go hunting and being warrior-y. Silly Wolfie. FYI, wolvar pup is a problem child...
- The lag is lessening, but I'm wary yet of returning to Dalaran.
- Flying over Wintergrasp will flag you for PvP still, but it won't drop you out of flight form :D Horde also won WG while I was flying over it... and I got the mark of honor O.o Cool.
- Kekek wants a Paper Zepplin. Not sure he deserves it, bloodthirsty little fellow, but I guess it's not nearly as dangerous as, say, a gun. Or a rock. Of course, that is in Dalaran. Ughhh... don't wanna go there yet!
Raid??! Hello, Icehowl!
- 7:00 Others making noise about starting up our raid, though some are still trying to log in. Might get something going here in another 45 minutes with the Coliseum.
- 7:30 BLAH GRID ERROR! Grid's not showing more than 4 people in my raid and it keeps throwing an error up in my face :(
- 7:45 I had to turn off Grid (and Headcount) due to the Dungeon Difficulty bug. Turned on Pitbull. Kitarha reports that RatingBuster was also throwing up errors, though I turned that off when loading in cuz I wanted to see the Blizzard one.
- 8:10 pm, I've tweaked Pitbull to show all the druid buffs (and thus my HoTs). It's not Grid, but it's functional. Now we're just dealing with AHMAGAD POISON! Those Jormungar are munching our tanks.
- 9:11 pm, Not One, But Two Jormungars! Achievement :) But it was still a wipe. I'm using a lot of nourish here to keep the tanks alive; the damage has been super-spikey. Not liking the HoT display on Pitbull, since it's showing all "druid buffs" rather than just HoTs, but I'm adapting...
- 9:25: Icehowl down! :) Our feral was dead the whole fight cuz he bugged and couldn't see the boss... or the fire... hehe! Little black kitty was flambéed. Scepter of Imprisoned Souls (Wand) and Gormok's Band (strength ring). We decided to go poke FL+4 after this, which'll be super interesting with the lag!
- Break time before Ulduar, I went ahead and edited my lua file as EricTetz suggested in the comments, changing the GridRoster.lua's "GetCurrentDungeonDifficulty" to "GetDungeonDifficulty". Did a UI reload from there and it was all better! /boots Pitbull raid frames back out to unenabled-land. Thanks again, Eric!
Raid 2: Uld? VoA? Eh.
- 9:52 Hearthed to Dalaran, back in lag-central. Attempting to purchase the pet raptor from Breanni and get little Mr. Bloodthirsty a paper zepplin. The raptor is 40g at exalted. I think the server's crashed, though... it just doesn't know it yet!
This guy was just swimming in place, hovering over the paving stones. I purchased a raptor, but it's not in my bags yet...
- 10:02, I managed to mount up and start flying to Ulduar. Partway over the Storm peaks, I purchased 4 Obsidian Hatchlings... oops. Ha. Pets for my raiding buddies!! Alas, no one is actually able to load into Ulduar. I'm hanging out on the steps until loading works.
- 10:12 I dueled our warlock so that he could practice banishes on me. His imp kept throwing fireballs at me, so I walked over and punched it. He cried "NOOOOOOOO, not Nokpit!!" and killed me for it. I mean, what, it's okay for his imp to turn me into a cooking fire, but I can't punch it in the face?? ;)
- 10:15 Instance servers aren't letting anyone in, and even the trade window for one of the raptors has been stuck open for 3 minutes now. Sooo we decided to call it. Kitarha wants to go watch Hell's Kitchen with me. So, hope you all enjoyed my ramble, good luck tonight with your own attempts to play!!

Eight States in Eight Days
Visits (12918)
Well, I am off on a much-needed vacation. For my American readers, this weekend represents our "4th of July" Independence Day holiday. What better way to celebrate than to drive hundreds of miles from one side of the country to the other? In this case, from the North side down to the South side.
Special thanks to Roy Buol, mayor of Dubuque, Iowa that I [met in Scottsdale earlier this year] for the idea to come visit his fine city, considered one of the Smarter Cities in the USA, thanks to IBM technology.
I don't know if I will have internet access along the way, or have the time and/or energy to blog, tweet (@az990tony) or upload photos during the trip. We'll see.

SKF adapter sleeve assembly for air handling fans
Reduce vibration and virtually eliminate imbalanceDesigned to accommodate either spherical roller bearings or CARB® toroidal bearings, the SKF adapter sleeve assembly for air handling fans keeps vibration levels low.
Featuring few components, the sleeve incorporates a lock nut with a positive locking device, eliminating the need for a locking washer. The side face is machined for improved bearing alignment during mounting on the sleeve.
Along with reducing vibration levels, this easy-to-install sleeve assembly virtually eliminates the risk of wobbling and imbalance caused by inclination between the shaft and the bearing.

Balkan energy and the future of Bosnia - December 2007
The collapse of much of its industry as a result of both war and transition means that today Bosnia's energy consumption is only about 45 Giga-Joule per capita, compared with an OECD average of 236. At the same time, Bosnia's geography, water resources and coal reserves mean that it is well placed to produce energy, both thermal (from coal) and hydro (from water). The potential to dramatically expand domestic energy production makes Bosnia a central player in future energy planning in South Eastern Europe.

What: Actress on ABC's Revenge
Where: Her L.A. apartment
Spring must-have: Burberry Prorsum tribal skirt
My style is: Very uncommitted. I'm always wanting to try new looks, but I come back to pieces with an edge — studs, embellishments, or animal prints.
Every woman should own: A good leather jacket. I recently invested in a Balenciaga biker jacket and I literally wear it with everything.
Three rules to dress by: 1) Leopard print is your friend. 2) Invest in white tanks — they add freshness to every outfit. 3) Try on everything — the hanger won't do the piece justice, but you just might!

31 HORROR STORIES -- "The Autopsy" (1980)@ 1:00 PM
Michael Motherfucking Shea.
I know there are Stephen King, Clive Barker, Harlan Ellison, Ramsey Campbell, Dennis Etchison and Richard Matheson fans. And they deserve 'em, 'cuz they're all so good.
But Michael Shea is, in my opinion, the best horror/fantasy writer working today. It helps that he's also one of the best WRITERS, period.
Don't believe me? Read "The Mines of Behemoth" section of THE INCOMPLEAT NIFFT, especially the section about Nifft's entry into Hell. Or the novella I, SAID THE FLY. Or THE COLOUR OUT OF TIME, a "sequel" to Lovecraft that H.P. would've been proud of.
And his short stories! "The Extra", "The Horror on the Number 33", and the hilarious/gory "Uncle Tuggs". All of these are collected in a book called POLYPHEMUS, which is where I first discovered Shea back in high school. And he keeps getting better.
I'm not even saying "The Autopsy" is his best, because it's impossible for me to choose. And I don't want to ruin the relentless, holy-shit-this-isn't-happening-oh-fuck-it-is horror of the story. Let's just say it features the most heroic, and violent, method I've ever seen for stopping an alien invasion.
Talk to the cancer.

Being and Event
Continuum, 2005 - Philosophy - 526 pages
Being and Event is the greatest work of Alain Badiou, France's most important living philosopher. Long-awaited in translation, Being and Event makes available to an English-speaking readership Badiou's groundbreaking work on set theory - the cornerstone of his whole philosophy. The book makes the scope and aim of Badiou's whole philosophical project clear, enabling full comprehension of Badiou's significance for contemporary philosophy. Badiou draws upon and is fully engaged with the European philosophical tradition from Plato onwards; Being and Event deals with such key figures as Descartes, Spinoza, Leibniz, Hegel, Rousseau, Heidegger and Lacan. This wide-ranging book is organised in a careful, precise and novel manner, reflecting the philosophical rigour of Badiou's thought. Unlike many contemporary Continental philosophers, Badiou - who is also a novelist and dramatist - writes lucidly and cogently, making his work far more accessible and engaging than much philosophy, and actually a pleasure to read. This English language edition includes a new preface, written by Badiou himself, especially for this translation. Being and Event is a must-have for Badiou's significant following and anyone interested in contemporary Continental philosophy. >

The PR2 Works for You 24/7
After the completion of our second Milestone, the PR2 had a marathon under its metaphorical belt, and the know-how to detect wall outlets and plug itself in for recharging. More recently, we revamped the robot's plugging technique with the help of improved robot calibration practices, and we've developed a new web-based interface that makes it easier than ever to interact with the robot. With all these pieces in place, it was time to create the "24 Hour Robot": a PR2 that keeps its batteries topped off so that it's always ready for researchers to run new experiments or demos for unexpected visitors.
Without opening up a terminal, users can now give the PR2 a variety of instructions such as "Go plug in," or "Go tell everyone it's soccer time." While the latter command is used but once a week around here, the robot is more often in need of a recharge. When hacking on the robot, a simple click on the web interface sends the robot plugging into a wall outlet without interruption. The navigation stack guides the PR2 to the outlet, and the plugging-in code handles the rest. All of this was put to a 24-hour test: using nothing more than the web interface, the PR2 had to execute battery-draining tasks and then return to a wall outlet to recharge for its next goal.
This new tool combines the PR2's plugging and navigation capabilities into one easy-to-use interface that keeps the robot working for us around the clock. Now, the robot only sleeps when we do...so, never.
