Apple's earnings are coming today after the market closes.
We will have the results as soon as they hit at this page, so tune in. In the meanwhile, here's what to expect.
After a sustained 30% drop in Apple's stock since September, this earnings report is the most anticipated we can remember. There are a lot of questions surrounding Apple right now.
In particular, investors want to get a true read on the state of the iPhone business. There have been multiple reports that Apple cut iPhone orders for this quarter. The severity of those cuts, and the reasons for them, vary from place to place, but it seems confirmed the cuts happened.
This led analysts to start slashing their March quarter iPhone estimate and their full-year revenue and EPS outlook. As they've cut back their estimates, Apple's stock has crashed.
And yet, despite paring back their March quarter expectations, many analysts have been bumping their iPhone estimates for the December quarter.
Which makes this earnings report, as anticipated as it is, somewhat anticlimactic. Everyone is already focused on the March quarter. And Apple's guidance game makes it very hard to figure out what's really happening this quarter. Multiple analysts have called for Apple to deliver classic low-ball guidance.
Unlike in the past, if Apple delivers super low guidance, the market could react negatively as the low guidance would confirm its fears that the iPhone business is in trouble.
So, if you're an Apple bull, here's what you want tonight: A strong iPhone beat and guidance that isn't ridiculously low. On the earnings call, you're hoping Tim Cook comments on the reports coming from the supply chain and puts the rumors to bed.
If you get just an iPhone beat, or just good guidance, we're not sure you're going to be happy.
Before we wrap this up, there is one thing to note: This quarter is 13 weeks long. Last year's quarter was 14 weeks long. Therefore, year over year comparisons aren't going to be perfect.
Further, last year Apple sold the iPhone 4S only in the holiday quarter. This year, the new iPhone, the iPhone 5 was out for a week before the quarter started. And it was also released in China for part of the quarter. So, comparisons between this quarter and the next are going to be messy.
Here, via Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster, is what the buy-side is expecting from Apple:
- Revenue: $54.58 billion
- Gross Margin: 39.5%
- iPhone: 50 million
- iPad: 23 million
- Mac: 5 million
- iPod: 12 million
- March quarter revenue: $46.9 billion
- March quarter EPS: $12.10
- March quarter gross margin: 41.5%
Again, we'll have the numbers as soon as they hit right here, so tune in.

Great recipe. Instead of the graham cracker crust, I use a crust made of crushed chocolate animal crackers sprinkled with a little sugar and melted butter to make it stick to the sides. I always get lots of wows with this. Instead of the crumbs for the top, I sprinkle crushed peppermint candies on the whipped topping. Very festive. You can also make 2 pies with this or 1 pie and the extra can be saved in a container and served up as a fluffy dessert. You can also mix other icecreams and puddings for different flavours like eggnog ice cream and vanilla pudding, strawberry icecream and vanilla pudding, coffee icecream and chocolate pudding, vanilla icecream and butterscotch pudding. There are lots of options. Thanks so much

SKF sealed spherical roller bearings eliminate need for re-greasing
The challengeA mining operation was experiencing high costs and poor reliability in the pinion drive bearings of mills responsible for crushing iron ore. The pinion drives had open bearings into which grit, dust and contaminants collected. The system included 100 bearing positions and required 100 kg of grease per year, per bearing, to keep them operating. The large amounts of grease meant high costs for purchase and disposal according to environmental requirements.
The grease also created a work environment hazard, as dripping grease often caused slippery floors. High-pressure water, used to wash pinion units, also pushed water and dust into the bearing housing. Water also threatened to seep into nearby electrical motors.
The solutionAfter testing SKF sealed spherical roller bearings, the operator determined it could eliminate re-greasing, thus negating the need for a central lubrication system.
The resultThe SKF sealed spherical roller bearing solution paid for itself in one year, and earned significant cost savings over five years. Additional savings came from reduced downtime for bearing replacement. Eliminating the relubrication system and washdowns should enable the SKF bearings to last 10 years, double the prior 5-year service life.
|Total savings over 10 years for reduced grease usage:
|Cost for open bearing with grease
|€ 7 860
|Cost for SKF sealed solution
|€ 3 262
|Total savings for one bearing position
|€ 4 598
|Total savings for 100 bearing positions
|€ 459 800

Jame's Alliance Leveling Guide
Now also available as an in-game leveling addon. Please check out the following page to try the WoW-Pro Leveling Addon!
If you need guides for any other level range please check out this page.
If you don't want to try our WoW Leveling Addon, here's how to enjoy the paper guides as much as possible, even if you don't have a 2nd monitor, you can either:
1. Print the guides. There is a "Printer Friendly Version" link at the bottom of every guide, you just have to click on it. However, that might be expansive (and probably expensive), because the guides are big, very big. Another downside is that my guides are updated very frequently, so if you print it you'll miss the latest updates.
2. Playing WOW in Windowed Mode feels very comfortable while following along with this guide.
- Keep the guide opened in an internet window
- Log in to World of Warcraft, press Escape and go to Video Options, tick the following boxes:
Click on "Apply".
Your screen will look exactly as if you were playing wow in full screen mode, besides you will be able to ALT-TAB to the guide INSTANTLY.
This is how I play wow while following my guide, when I don't feel like booting up my 2nd computer

Jame, great job. Anyone who can't follow this guide and be successful should really either 1. Learn to read or 2. Pay attention to what they are reading.
If you follow this guide, you will get to where Jame says you will. It's so easy.
I am thoroughly impressed.
Are you doing a guide for 60 to 70?

Possible Update for lvl 46?
Submitted by Jake Davidson on Fri, 2007-01-05 07:54.
I'm not sure if you know about this Jame's, but either recently or just after this new patch, there was a Draenei placed in Aerie Peak with 3 quests of relative ease, and rewarding some easy experience. One of them, which asks you to find Furrolborrow or some odd Dwarf's house, is just South of Aerie Peak and all that is needed is for you to right click on the book on the table in the house and it rewards an easy 3k experience (possibly more, not sure if quests lose total xp or not for higher lvl, I did it at 49 to hit 50 rather than grinding).
He also gives you another one to kill a Witch Doctor and his pet spider, which at 46 at the time I found to be extremely easy (then again i'm a hunter and just used my pet as bait ).
The third quest is just killing Wolves which actually fits in nicely with the circuit, since the wolves are right along the way and is a good easy quick grind.
But anyways, just thought i'd let you know. I'm pretty sure you have a grinding session in the lvl 46, and could replace it with those three quests for a real easy 7-13k exp.
Great guide!
Submitted by ozintokyo on Sun, 2007-01-07 08:29.
I am currently at 46 now, and this seems to be the longest grinding section - I have 6 and 1/2 bars to grind to be 1 bar before 47.
Great guide - I love it. I agree with Jake, there are a few additional quests that have been added to the game since the last patch.
Additional point to note to those that are not getting their level high enough, I wonder if you are doing this in a group? I think that is quicker and easier, but you do not get quite the same amount of xp when you are grinding for the quests, hence the additional grinding required.
I am looking forward to using the rest of your guides to hit 60!
Great Guide!

I must say, when I first looked at the Guide with my 42 Priest, I didn't think I could do it. I stopped playing for awhile, but then decided to try with my 30 Hunter. In under a week and a half i've gone from level 30-48 using this Guide and averaging about 5 hours of play a day. It's detailed to tell you exactly where to go, when to go, and in the end gets you a hump sum of experience in a short amount of time.
Great Guide Jame's don't know what we'd do without you.

Hi, first of all this is my first char and I play a mage. I don't seem to notice that my lvling is so fast since it takes me about 7 hours per lvl following this guide. I have to admit that in SVT I get kicked by hordes cause I'm on a PVP server so I went Grinding to get lvl 34 in sargeron just beside the next location you said for lvl 36 lvling. It's safe out there and there are plenty of lvl 32-33 demons, easy killing. At the beginnning you said there wouldn't have a lot of grinding but i kind of get 30k grinding expi every lvl and that's what makes it long. Am I supposed to have so much grinding to do? There's also the fact that I'm not able to get over 5k grinding expi per hour and that is long too. 5k to 30k makes it 6 hours. If anyone could give me an advice or whatsoever on how to play my mage or I don't know what i'd be thankful.
PS. One reason why my grinding expi is slow is that I'm always drinking water for my fire built mage spends it all on two demon killing. I use to Pyroblast, Fireball, Frost Nova, Fireball again and end it with a Flameblast and that kills it. (Usually they don't die if I Screech'em for the last hit)
1)Am I supposed to always have around 3/4 of a level to grind?
2)Is there a way to have a mana/kill efficient rating?
3)What's the use of those :
1. 1X Patterned Bronze Bracers ~50 Silver
2. 1X Frost Oil ~ 2 Gold
3. 1X Gyrochronatom ~1 Gold
Early thanking
No problem

To: PingPong
During Jame's Guide he uses quest grinding rather than straight up grinding most of the time, and it could be that you're only grinding and not quest grinding. Follow his circuits and do the quests, kill everything along the way and don't waste time at all running to and fro handing quests in, do that in the end.

I suppose that this has been asked lots of times before, but do you plan on writing up a 60-70 guide when the Expansion is released later this month?
Needless to say, we'd all love it if you did!
Cheers for a great guide, and hopes for more to come!
Best level 30-60 Guide i have Ever Read.
Submitted by Deathaxe on Sun, 2006-12-31 07:48.
James, i worship you. Your guides are so greatly detailed and shows exacually where i need to go and who to talk to, i have a level 46 Night Elf hunter, started guide at level 32, i have never leveled so fast, if it wasn't for your guides i would of probally not even be level 40. Thank you for taking the time to write these guides. I also have one question.
Do you plan on making a level 20-30 Alliance guide? i looked at some alliance guides on here for 20-30, but their not really any good. And at 20-30 is usually the level i start to struggle with. Just was curious if a 20-30 was on the way or not. Either way, Very nice job on the current guide i give u a 10/10.

wow! this is a realy good guide.... got from lvl 30 to 41 in one day! its amazing!
Wow that must have been one
Submitted by ni on Thu, 2007-01-04 06:59.
Wow that must have been one hell of a day!
These guides are pretty good. I have used them 30+ a couple of times now, and while I do miss something here and there sometimes do to formatting, they are awesome. I would have to say that post 2.0.1 there are a good deal of extra quests here and there around the world that might be added. To the Swamp of Sorrows walkthrough in particular.
A 20-30 guide would be a very good addition if that could be done. With the extension of Forest Song there could be a good deal of different locales to level. Would be nice to know what the most efficient path was.
it was ok
Submitted by lexon4 on Sun, 2006-12-31 00:08.
THis guide was ok, but i did everything you said and i only got to lvl 37. Idk if it's my fault or not but i was really wanting to get to 40 for my mount. I am a lvl 37 Hunter and i started at 30. But all in all pretty good guide.

Quick question are you making one for 60 - 70?
If so that would be sweet

Great guide, thanks for your efforts. Especially like the maps and numbering.
One item I did not spot is.
-Cloth hand in.
--In each major city (2 in IF) you can hand in:
--60 wool, silk, mageweave amd runecloth
--Worth a lot of XP and takes almost no time as you will be in the city.
Might be worth adding into guide when you "warp to a city"
Yeah Jame I too am finished

Yeah Jame I too am finished chapter 1 and I'm only lvl 37, I'm a paladin and I've started this long grinding session
Anyway great guide I'll definately be continuing to lvl 60

Rick Redniss, president of Redniss & Mead, on what a land use consultant does, how a book idea led to a career at his father's firm, why Stamford is the biggest small town in the world, and his dream urban planning project.
Q&A with Rick Redniss, president of Redniss & Mead
Q: In newspaper articles, you are frequently quoted as a "land use consultant." What exactly is a land use consultant? Who are your clients and what do you try to accomplish for them?
A: A land use consultant advises public, private and nonprofit landowners on meeting land use goals for property they own or are contemplating buying. These include feasibility, development, redevelopment, aesthetic improvements, conservation, and estate planning. Clients include cities and towns, single-family owners, private developers, neighborhood organizations and nonprofits such as schools, religious institutions, and affordable housing providers. When I believe in their goals, I try to help them achieve them. Many times, the right solution is "outside the box." Land use has become much more complicated since Stamford enacted zoning regulations in 1926. Many times creative solutions deal with these complications. Rather than force a less than optimal solution inside the box, we try to adapt the box to make a better fit for them and their surrounding community.
Q: Tell us how you got your start in urban planning.
A: Growing up in Stamford, with my parents and brother Ray all in the surveying and civil engineering business, the familiarity with land use was there. While teaching elementary school in the 70s, I got involved with Paul Davidoff and a special program that was involved with planning in the public schools. That compelled me to get my master's in urban planning at Hunter College while still teaching. I took some of my sixth graders to Vancouver (Canada) for a conference on human habitats, which reinforced my desire to transition into professional planning. My first job opportunity as a planner came via Herman Badillo, a deputy mayor in the (Edward) Koch Administration, and it actually paid less than I was making as a teacher. At that point, with two young children, we could not afford a pay cut. One of the mentors in the planning program was Martha Munzer, who had written several books on planning. We pitched a book idea to her publisher about the power of children to facilitate positive changes in planning. When I asked my father to borrow some money so that I could spend time writing and researching for the book, he said "No, but you can come to work." So I did, and realized I could be a planner as part of our family's business, and never left.
Q: It has been said that land use decisions reflect a community's values. Having sat through countless public hearings over your career, what do you think is the hallmark trait that defines Stamford?
A: My associate calls Stamford "the biggest small town in the world." The city is always working to find that balance between a bustling downtown metropolis and quiet suburbia. There are some that still long for the Stamford of the 1950s, but that's not realistic. After World War II, the baby boom, the construction of I-95, and urban renewal, the die was cast, and things were going to change. The population of the city, as with the county, state, and country has increased over 70 percent since 1950. More than 50,000 additional people live in Stamford since I was born, and that number continues to grow. Where should they go? Sprawling continuously into leafier areas or concentrated in areas where the infrastructure can accommodate and sustain growth? It is an easy answer.
Q: Discuss some of the lessons you learned over your career.
A: My father and brother were Eagle Scouts before me; and the Boy Scout motto "Be Prepared" was always lesson No. 1. Working in land use, it helps to be over-prepared. You can prepare for 99 potential issues, but it will be that 100th one that ends up being the difference maker. You also need to understand the total context of where you are, what you are doing, and whom it impacts. And building consensus is paramount. The key to getting Newbury Commons, a housing development in the early 1980s that required rezoning, ended up being trash management. While meeting with neighbors, we learned that the older condominiums in the area were built with inadequate parking plus their dumpsters took up valuable parking spaces. We also studied the parking ratios of most of the larger residential buildings and discovered that the then-new parking regulations required more than the demand. We wrote a parking reduction regulation for large residential complexes while developing a site plan that provided extra parking for neighbors and a shared trash management program located on Newbury Commons property with an indexed fee structure. Working with neighbors in support, we got 260 new apartments approved by three local land use boards and the state traffic commission in 11 months.
Q: Smart growth is a planning term that gets bandied about a lot these days. Define it for us.
A: To me, it is applied common sense and a balancing of competing interests to address the changing dynamics of cities and towns. In the simplest terms using Stamford as an example, it is to concentrate growth in the downtown and satellite neighborhoods where the infrastructure is available including mass transit and a walk-ability to meet most everyday needs: homes, jobs, recreation, culture, food, shopping, etc. in a sustainable manner.
Q: What is it like to be the public face of so many developments that have gone before the city, many of them controversial?
A: I made a decision long ago to only fight for what I believe to be good planning initiatives. I pass on things that are not well conceived or appropriate. Most people in opposition over time come to realize that their fears were exaggerated and the impacts they worried about never materialized. So I am OK showing my face in public. There are people who associate me with change. They do not like change, and will do anything to stop change, even when change is an improvement. It is always an educational process.
Q: Lastly, what is your dream project for Stamford?
A: Looking forward, we have a fantastic opportunity to transform our train station area into a showplace of smart growth. There are so many improvements that can be made with the right comprehensive solutions. It is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that would be fun to help put together. It would also represent coming full circle since our firm was working with Transportation Plaza Associates when the state took the train station by eminent domain in 1980. I'd hate to witness a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity not seized twice in my life. This station is the most important planning project in our region. It needs to be done right this time.

Everybody loves dragons and dragons love everybody. I am submitting yet another dragon tutorial that will show you "how to draw a Chinese dragon tattoo" step by step. After careful consideration I eventually came up with the wonderful drawing that you are about to be subjected to. I drew this Chinese dragon live with you all and it was originally supposed to be done for somebody that wanted to buy the design off me. As you can see I finished the artwork and now I will show you how to draw what I thought up from my imagination. To me, the Chinese dragon tattoo that I drew two days ago is probably the "best" dragon I have ever drawn. I mean that literally too. The scales, body, limbs, everything is so clean and soft looking making it a true gem for any need. Whether it be a poster, a tattoo, or maybe even art for next years school book covers. Whatever you can think up it most likely can be done. Anyways, if you were watching me the other day you already know that it took me a long while to finish the drawing I am about to submit. I did place it under the tattoo category and it is labeled for advanced artists, but anybody can give it a go. I will leave you once again with this tutorial on "how to draw a Chinese dragon tattoo" step by step. Peace out and have fun.

As you read in the guide for PersistenceManager, you perform all operations using a PersistenceManager . This means that you need to obtain this when you want to start datastore operations. In some architectures (e.g in a web environment) it can be convenient to maintain a single PersistenceManager for use in a servlet init() method to initialise a static variable. Alternatively for use in a SessionBean to initialise a static variable. Thereafter you just refer to the proxy. The proxy isn't the actual PersistenceManager just a proxy, delegating to the real object. If you call close() on the proxy the real PM will be closed, and when you next invoke an operation on the proxy it will create a new PM delegate and work with that.
To create a PM proxy is simple
PersistenceManager pm = pmf.getPersistenceManagerProxy();
So we have our proxy, and now we can perform operations

Here are two perspectives on the subject:
a graphic essay from phdcomics.com
a written essay from The Chronicle of Higher Education
President Barack Obama wasn't the only one to receive a Nobel Prize last week. On Thursday, December 10, the Nobel Prizes in science and literature were awarded in Stockholm, Sweden. (The Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway.)
I blogged last week about the value of these individuals as role models and heroes for those of us involved in science. (See "Life Lessons from Laureates " at the American Chemical Society's "ACS Careers" blog.) Over my years as a science writer, I've had the opportunity to interview a number of Nobel Laureates, and I've found them to be both gracious and smart.
In addition to Nobel Laureate Dudley Herschbach, whom I mentioned in the ACS Careers blog post as an interviewee and a former teacher of mine, I came across recent information online about two other Nobel Laureates–information that further confirms these two scientists as worthy role models.
First, one of this year's Nobel Laureates in Medicine, Carol Greider, says, "I live a pretty normal life." As a single parent with two children (ages 10 and 13), she is a role model for all of us seeking to maintain the ever-elusive "work-family balance." In fact, she was folding laundry at 5 a.m. on October 5 when she received the telephone call from the Nobel Committee informing her of the news. An article on CNN.com provides more details about this heroine (see "A Day in the 'Normal' Life of a Nobel Prize Winner".}
The second scientist who can serve as a good role model for scientists is Bill Lipscomb. He received the 1976 Nobel Prize in Chemistry, and he's been a professor at Harvard University since 1959 . Prior to moving to Harvard, he was on the faculty at the University of Minnesota.
He celebrated his 90th birthday on December 9, with a big celebration given by his "scientific family" (former students, students of students, and students of students of students–his scientific children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren).
When I was a grad student at Harvard, Lipscomb had already received his Nobel Prize, so there was a certain mystique to his research group. The thing that I remember most about him (in addition to the string tie that he always wore) was his sense of humor, as demonstrated by his leadership role in establishing the Ig Nobel Awards. If you appreciate good scientific humor (no, that's not an oxymoron), you'll want to check out the Ig Nobel website.
Last week, I attended the regional meeting of the National Science Teachers Association held here in Minneapolis. I enjoyed seeing so many enthusiastic science teachers attending the sessions and wandering around the exhibit hall.
But when did schools start hiring such young teachers? Nearly all of them were quite a bit younger than me. And I'm not that old! I'm only … well, let's just say that I'm a seasoned professional.
Instead of feeling old when I left the meeting, however, I felt young and inspired. I particularly enjoyed watching some of the chemistry demonstrations that presenters were teaching to the teachers. As we participated in these hands-on activities, I could sense the energy and excitement rising in the room. It was the same feeling I get when I put on chemistry shows in my children's classrooms.
I even started thinking back to the first chemistry show I ever witnessed, when I was a fourth-grader at Meeker Elementary School in Ames, Iowa.
Several years ago I wrote up my memories of that chemistry show, and here's a copy of that brief essay:
The magic of chemistry first reveals itself to me in 1965, during Spring Break of my fourth-grade year, when my family goes on vacation to the big city of Chicago. The highlight of the trip is the visit to the Museum of Science and Industry. As we amble through the museum, we learn about coal mines and submarines. We see a plastic human heart pumping red and blue fluid throughout a life-size model of a human body. We find out about all kinds of machines, from levers and pulleys to the internal combustion engine. And at 2:00 pm, we gather on bleachers in an open area near the lobby to watch a demonstration of "The Wonderful World of Chemistry."
I'm seated in the front row. Facing us, on a little stage, is a long table covered with glass bottles of various shapes, sizes, and colors. Placed at one end of the table are a banana, a wooden board, and a pink rubber ball. The ball is exactly the same kind as one I use to play "bounce and catch" at home on my front porch.
The noisy crowd of parents and children quiets down as a man in a white coat steps behind the table and faces us. A red rose is pinned to his lapel. A bright blue balloon rises above him, held in his right hand. He's wearing glasses that have little plastic shields on the side. This man sure has my attention.
He starts the show by pouring two colorless liquids together, turning them first pink and then purple as he says some magic words. As he mixes other liquids and solids, he creates smoke and fog, makes a volcano overflow, and sets off a loud explosion.
Finally, he tells us that it's time for the grand finale. He still hasn't touched the banana or ball. I wonder what he's going to do with them; maybe he'll give them out as prizes to kids in the audience. I could always use another pink bouncy ball.
He reaches below the table and pulls out a big metal container with a lid on it. He puts on heavy white gloves and uses a long set of tongs to lift the lid off the container. Fog rises from it. Using a metal scoop shaped like the ladle my Mom uses to serve punch at Christmas time, he scoops up some liquid from the container. We can all see that it's colorless and bubbling. Suddenly he bends over and pours it on the concrete floor right in front of the audience. I can hear it splatter on the floor. I pull back away from it, just like everyone around me. We don't want to get splashed with this mysterious bubbling liquid. But as soon as it hits the floor, it disappears. It's gone. None of us got wet, but I did feel a puff of cool air.
The man in the white coat tells us that this liquid is called "liquid nitrogen," and it's colder than the coldest Chicago winter. Grabbing the blue balloon, he holds it down on the table and pours a scoop of liquid nitrogen over it. The balloon shrivels up like a huge raisin, making a crinkly sound as it shrinks. The man lets go of it, and it just lies there. But then, right in front of our eyes, it starts to grow, take shape again, and rise into the air.
Next, the man takes the banana. Holding it with his tongs, he lowers it into the liquid nitrogen container for half a minute. When he takes it out of the liquid, he grips it in his gloved hand, and he picks up the board and a nail. Using the "Banana Hammer," he pounds the nail right into the board. We ooh and ahh and applaud. I guess he won't be giving out that banana as a prize.
Finally, he reaches for the bouncy ball and drops it in the liquid nitrogen container. After a minute or so, he fishes it out using the metal scooper. Picking it up, he turns around and throws it at the concrete wall behind him. I get ready to grab it when it bounces back toward the audience. But it doesn't bounce. It shatters into many small pieces. I wonder if he'll put the ball back together as the grand finale, but it doesn't work that way, I soon find out.
Before he leaves, however, he has one final demonstration for us. He unpins the red rose from his lab coat lapel, dips it in the liquid nitrogen, and then bangs it on the table. Tiny red pieces of frozen rose petals fly across the table. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to clap or cry. As everyone around me begins to applaud, I hesitantly join in. Even if the rose incident doesn't sit quite right with me, I decide that chemistry is indeed wonderful, and I'm going to learn more about it when I grow up.
There's an interesting conversation going on over at the "Motherlode" Parenting blog at the New York Times website. The opening salvo in the post, "Making Room for Dad," reads:
Men should want to be more involved fathers, yes. But women have to let them.
A number of the people commenting on the blog refer to the phenomenon of Moms complaining about Dads not doing enough parenting, but then micro-managing them (and thereby discouraging them) if they do get involved. Others, however, seem to feel that men are simply incompetent.
What's my perspective? See comment #21.
A blog posting (written several months ago, before my recent writer's block) has just been published at the Careers blog of the American Chemical Society.
It's titled "Self Chromatography: Analyzing Your Interests, Skills and Personality Traits."
If you are a loyal reader of this blog, you will have noticed that I have not posted anything for over two months. In fact, it's been 78 days.
It's time to start blogging again.
The past few months have been a busy time of transition, and I'll be writing about some of those things in the days to come. However, I have to admit that procrastination has also played an important role.
Procrastination happens from time to time with most of us. Along with its close cousins, denial and self-delusion, procrastination affects us not only as individuals but also as entire nations. At the national level, for example, we are avoiding making necessary changes in areas such as health policy or climate change policy. For writers, we use a highly technical term for procrastination–we call it "writer's block."
Because procrastination is such a universal phenomenon, it's possible to find many books, articles and websites on the subject. (Here are some good quotes on the subject.) I spent some time looking at what these books have to say about procrastination, and I will definitely study them more closely–tomorrow.
All in all, however, the psychological theories about procrastination don't really do it for me. When I need a new perspective on a problem or perplexing situation, I often turn to metaphors from science. And I definitely need a fresh approach, one with some rigor and precision. Sso I'm turning to physics for an understanding of procrastination.
When I visualize the problem of writer's block, I see it as a big, heavy block of black metal sitting in my path. I need to figure out a way to get the block moving. Maybe simple physics can help me.
Here are some rambling thoughts about the physics of procrastination. Let's see if any of these help.
Procrastination is simply a problem of energy and momentum. When I'm unable to get started on a writing project, I'm just a "body at rest." The task is to get the body moving–to impart some momentum to it.
Here are several key equations that might help generate some helpful approaches:
1) F=ma ("Force" equals "mass" times "acceleration.")
2) p=mv ("Momentum" equals "mass" times "velocity.") (Here's a basic physics introduction to the concept of "momentum.")
If I need to introduce an acceleration and change the velocity from "zero" to "something," then I need to apply a force to the mass.
Strategy 1 – Reduce the mass. As the mass gets smaller, the amount of force needed to achieve a certain change in velocity also gets less. This is the physics explanation for why it makes sense to "break large projects into small tasks." (OK, so maybe I can keep this blog entry short. It's easier to write a short entry than a long entry.)
Once I get the writing started and this blog post published on my blog, I will have built up some momentum. Then it will be easier to write a second post – and then a third and a fourth….
But in the real world, it's not really that easy to start moving an object at rest, because there is friction. A sizable force is required to overcome the friction—which is a force keeping the object at rest. In fact, there is a physics explanation (and solution) for this situation, too.
Wikipedia has an extensive article on friction, discussing such exciting topics as "the coefficient of friction (COF)" and "Coulomb friction."
As I look through the Wikipedia article (by the way, this is one of my favorite ways to procrastinate), I notice an interesting topic called "acoustic lubrication." Did you know that the squeaky bearings of German Panzer tanks in World War II actually provided "acoustic lubrication" to reduce friction?
Maybe I should try some acoustic lubrication for my writer's block. (Remember, writer's block is simply a form of intellectual and rhetorical friction).
So, I turn on some music to provide "acoustic lubrication." And it works! For me, Baroque instrumental music seems to be the best genre of acoustic lubrication to overcome verbal friction.
If you've read this far in this rambling post, you've been an important participant in my physics experiment to achieve writerly momentum.
Thank you.
Here's a link to my recent blog article on the New York Times' "Motherlode" parenting blog: "Letters From Sleep-Away Camp"
Yesterday, my 16-year-old son departed, by bus, for four weeks at a camp in northern Minnesota. I've already checked the camp's website for photos, and I found one photo of him from the Opening Day. I'm pleased to see that he arrived safe and sound.
As he posed for this photo, I think he chose body language that would convey as little emotion and information as possible. Because he had read my blog article about letters from summer camp, he knew that I'd be studying the photo carefully. Over the next four weeks, we will be engaged in a battle of wits as he tries to confuse me from afar with his micro-expressions.
All the media attention for the 40th anniversary of the first walk on the moon has stirred up some memories for me. This momentous event happened the summer after I was in 8th grade, and I remember staying up late to watch it live on TV. It was a big deal for me then, and it still is.
However, I must confess that I've always been bothered by those first words spoken by Neil Armstrong: "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind." I'm afraid that those words have never made sense to me. It seemed like something was missing.
Because I was so young when I first heard them, I assumed that those words made sense to adults. Back in 1969, I assumed that my sense of proper grammar was still undeveloped. Over the years, however, those words have continued to puzzle me. As a result, my confidence in my "inner grammarian" has always been slightly damaged.
Now, at last, the mystery has been explained. As discussed in this AP article and this earlier blog post, Armstrong intended to and probably actually said, "That's one small step for a man, one giant leap for Mankind."
I feel much better now. My inner grammarian is finally at peace.
— Robert Browning, "Pippa Passes"
Check out my post on today's "ACS Careers" blog for some thoughts on Randy Pausch's inspirational video and book, "The Last Lecture." The article is titled "Quadratic Graffiti Inspires Blogger."
In his life, Pausch beautifully integrated science and parenting. Although his "last lecture" has inspired millions of people, his motivation in giving this lecture was simply to leave a legacy of his values and wisdom for his young children.

American Suzuki Bankruptcy Plan Receives Approval
Friday, March 1, 2013
Brea-based American Suzuki Motor Corp. said on Friday it expects to complete its bankruptcy restructuring by the end of the month, after a judge approved its Chapter 11 plan.
The automaker, part of Japan-based Suzuki Motor Corp., filed for bankruptcy late last year.
The company plans to eventually stop vehicle sales in the U.S. as a result of a number of challenges it has faced, including low sales and a limited vehicle lineup. Meantime, the company will continue to focus on growing its U.S. Motorcycles/ATV and Marine divisions, which operate out of Brea.
The company's parent sent a final shipment of 2,500 vehicles to U.S. auto dealers in January.

Dear HG, You always talk about freeze-dried fruit. I've read what seems like hundreds of product labels at several grocery stores, and the packaging doesn't say if the fruit is dried or freeze-dried. Please help! Foggy on Fruit
Hi Foggy,
Great question! There's a very big difference between freeze-dried fruit and standard dried fruit. Freeze-dried fruit has been zapped of its moisture; it's light and crispy and not too much smaller than its original size. Regular dried fruit, on the other hand, is dense, chewy, and a shriveled version of its former self -- think raisins and dried cranberries. If the package doesn't clearly say freeze-dried on the front, turn it around and check out the ingredients list. If the word "freeze-dried" isn't on the front or back of the pack, chances are that the fruit is the regular dried kind. The nutrition label can also help you figure things out -- a 1/4-cup serving of freeze-dried fruit has about 25 calories, whereas the same amount of regular dried fruit usually clocks in at about 100 calories. BIG difference. Also, make sure there are no added ingredients. Products like apple and banana chips are sometimes fried in oil and sweetened with sugar. Bad news. At the supermarket? Check the cereal aisle, the produce section, and the snack aisle. Natural-food markets like Whole Foods tend to have LOTS of products from many brands. If you still can't find freeze-dried fruit in your area, you can always order some online -- check out the websites linked to below. (Freeze-dried fruit has a nice long shelf life, so you won't have to worry about it going bad if you order in bulk.) Funky Monkey is my favorite brand -- so many fun flavors! (Click here to find freeze-dried fruit from the playful primate.) I also like Just Tomatoes, Etc.! (click for a store finder), Sensible Foods (find stores by clicking here), and Crispy Green (click to search for local stores). Good luck!
Hi Hungry Girl, I always find myself in the fridge late at night, right before I go to bed. What are some low-cal foods that I can snack on that won't pack on the pounds? Midnight Muncher
Hi Midnight Muncher,
Late-night snacking can be tough. You're limited to whatever's already in your kitchen, and sometimes you're too tired to make a smart decision. That's why it's so important to keep guilt-free picks on hand at all times. If you're truly hungry... Choose something with a fair amount of protein (to fill you up) that isn't too heavy (so it won't weigh you down). Fat-free Greek yogurt is a great choice -- just mix in a spoonful of sugar-free or low-sugar preserves for fruity flavor. And this might sound boring, but fat-free or low-fat cottage cheese with a drop of vanilla extract and a bit of sweetener is really delicious and satisfying -- the vanilla totally amps up the flavor. Want something super-easy? A stick of light string cheese or a Mini Babybel Light cheese snack is perfect. I also love to snack on a few slices of turkey breast -- each ounce of lean turkey has about 30 calories and 6g protein. And as an added bonus, the tryptophan in turkey might help you sleep. (Not sure that's been proven though!) If it's more about satisfying a late-night craving... For a sweet-tooth fix, try a cup of hot cocoa made from a packet of mix with 20 - 25 calories (like Swiss Miss Diet or Nestlé Fat Free). A sugar-free pudding cup with 60 calories or less (like the kinds by Jell-O) is another good way to go. And a sugar-free frozen fruit pop will kick cravings for hardly any calories. If it's salty/savory food you're after, skip the chips and go for a cup of broth-based soup. It's light and filling, and there are plenty of reduced-sodium options out there, in case that's a concern. I also like to keep baby carrots and salsa in the fridge, for those times when I need something crunchy but don't want to waste calories on chips. Now you've got plenty of guilt-free options for all of your late-night-snacking needs. Sweet (or savory) dreams!

Renowned botanist and author John K. Small (1869-1938) conducted seasonal fieldwork in the Florida Everglades for more than 30 years. Along the way he captured scenes of Seminole life in South Florida during the early 20th century – a period of great transition for modern Florida Indians.
In the early 1900s, Seminole families transitioned from a primarily trading-based economy to one that demanded greater engagement with wage labor. They also experienced firsthand the ecological changes, caused by drainage schemes, documented by pioneering naturalists such as J.K. Small.
Small's best known work, From Eden to Sahara: Florida's Tragedy (1929), cemented his legacy along with other prominent naturalist-authors who also drew their inspiration from the Florida landscape. J.K. Small's contributions to the natural history of Florida stand firmly beside the likes of William Bartram, Bernard Romans, Archie Carr, and Marjory Stoneman Douglas.
The John K. Small Collection (M83-2), held by the State Archives of Florida, consists of correspondence and over 3,000 photographs reflecting his career as a botanist and his frequent contact with many leading scientists, explorers, and naturalists of his time including Oakes Ames, Roland M. Harper, Liberty Hyde Bailey, Lord Nathaniel Britton, David G. Fairchild, William Chambers Coker, Harold St. John, and Thomas A. Edison.
Approximately 2,100 of Small's photographs are available on the Florida Memory website.

One of the best services for taking a cruise, so you don't end up on the news is:
Steve Osgood, keep thinking what the hell am I going to do when I get out of SCI rehab, he had taken a cruise the year before his injury and his mind kept drifting back to those caribbean sunsets, while he was in rehab where an hour of effort is followed by endless hours of recovery (ie nothing). He did his research and found out that although there are travel services for people with disabilities, accurate information is hard to find. After a year or so of trying to fit back in at his old job, Steve took the plunge and bought into a travel franchise. What you'll find when you book with Steve is someone who's been there, knows the details of exactly where the boats dock and where you'll be stuck onboard if you don't want to transfer into a dingy or small boat. He's scoped out many of the locations himself and can give you expert advice and where to find what your looking for in a vacation.

CAPE NEDDICK, Maine — Many know Benjamin Franklin as the man with the kite and the key, but there was so much more to this founding father. A pioneer in philanthropy, a community activist, a gregarious inventor, an entrepreneur, a scientist and a diplomat, there were many unknown sides to Benjamin Franklin. On Wednesday, April 10 and 17 and Saturday, April 13, Clay Hill Farm presents Benjamin Franklin: Citizen, a one-man show and dramatic reading about the life of this amazing Patriot. Local actor, Kirk Simpson, will return to the stage of intimate dinner-theatre, bringing to life one of the most accomplished Americans in history.
Drawing upon Franklin's own writings and those of his contemporaries, the narrative is set against a backdrop of groundbreaking events in which Franklin played a central role: the age of Scientific Discovery, the Declaration of Independence, the Revolutionary war and the Constitutional Convention. Surprising, moving, and full of Franklin's own wit and wisdom, Benjamin Franklin: Citizen is a high-spirited portrait of a true American original.
Seating is limited for the three shows. Tickets are $12 with an a la carte menu. For reservations, call Clay Hill Farm Restaurant: (207) 361-2272.Clay Hill Farm is an award-winning restaurant on 11 private acres just 2 miles from downtown Ogunquit Village and 15 minutes north of Portsmouth.

MySQL Connector/Python 1.2.1 RC has been released
Posted by: Karen Langford
Date: March 31, 2014 06:45AM
Date: March 31, 2014 06:45AM
Dear MySQL users, MySQL Connector/Python v1.2.1 is the new version of the 1.2 release series of the pure Python database driver for MySQL. It is intended to introduce users to the new features. MySQL Connector/Python version 1.2.1 is compatible with MySQL Server versions 5.5 and greater, but should work with earlier versions (greater than 4.1). Python 2.6 and 2.7, as well as Python 3.1 and greater are supported. MySQL Connector/Python 1.2.1 is available for download from http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/connector/python/#downloads The ChangeLog file included in the distribution contains a brief summary of changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.2.1. For a more complete list of changes, see below or online at: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/relnotes/connector-python/en/ Changes in MySQL Connector/Python 1.2.1 (2014-03-31) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Functionality Added or Changed * It was not possible to initiate an SSL session without explicitly giving a key and certificate. Now it is possible to connect to a MySQL server using only the ssl_ca connection argument pointing to a file of CA certificates. This means the ssl_key and ssl_cert connection arguments are optional. However, when either is given, both must be given or an AttributeError is raised. (Bug #69418, Bug #17054848) * Connector/Python now supports authentication plugins found in MySQL 5.6. This includes mysql_clear_password and sha256_password, both of which require an SSL connection. The sha256_password plugin does not work over a non-SSL connection because Connector/Python does not support RSA encryption. The connect() method now supports an auth_plugin parameter that can be used to force use of a particular plugin. For example, if the server is configured to use sha256_password by default and you want to connect to an account that authenticates using mysql_native_password, either connect using SSL or specify auth_plugin='mysql_native_password'. (Bug #68054, Bug #16217765) * Connector/Python now permits the type for stored procedure parameters to be specified. To do this, specify a parameter as a two-item tuple consisting of the parameter value and type. For more information, see Method MySQLCursor.callproc(procname, args=()) (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/connector-python-api-mysqlcursor-callproc.html). (Bug #71124, Bug #17965619) * A new MySQLConnection class reset_connection() method enables applications to send a COM_RESET_CONNECTION to the server. This method is analogous to the mysql_reset_connection() C API function added in MySQL 5.7.3. A new MySQLConnection class reset_session() method is similar to reset_connection() but falls back to use reauthentication for older servers that do not support COM_RESET_CONNECTION. * Connector/Python now can report errors to Fabric that occur while accessing a MySQL instance. The information can be used to update the backing store and trigger a failover operation, provided that the instance is a primary server and Fabric has received a sufficient number of problem reports from different connectors. + The fabric dictionary argument to the connect() method now accepts a report_errors value. Its default value is False; pass a value of True to enable error reporting to Fabric. + To define which errors to report, use the extra_failure_report() function: from mysql.connector.fabric import extra_failure_report extra_failure_report([error_code_0, error_code_1, ...]) * Connector/Python now enables applications to specify additional information to be used when connecting to Fabric: User name and credentials, and information to use for establishing an SSL connection. The fabric dictionary argument to the connect() method accepts these additional values: username, password, ssl_ca, ssl_cert, ssl_key. Only the ssl_ca value is required to establish an SSL connection. If ssl_cert or ssl_key are given, both must be specified. * The connect() method now accepts a failover argument hat provides information to use for server failover in the event of connection failures. The argument value is a tuple or list of dictionaries (tuple is preferred because it is nonmutable). Each dictionary contains connection arguments for a given server in the failover sequence. Permitted dictionary values are: user, password, host, port, unix_socket, database, pool_name, pool_size. Bugs Fixed * The MySQLConnection.autocommit attribute failed to set the value of the self._autocommit attribute. (Bug #18172769) * Uninstalling Connector/Python using an RPM package failed to remove the fabric folder. (Bug #18143073) * For Fabric connections, any connect_attempts and connect_delay values specified by the user were ignored. (Bug #18055719) * The global MYSQL_FABRIC_PORT variable was changed from 8080 to 32274 to match the port change made in Fabric. (Bug #18075339) References: See also Bug #70954. * For Fabric sharding operations, Connector/Python raised an incorrect error when a table was given with the tables connection property for which no sharding information was available. This now results in a DatabaseError (with errorcode.ER_BAD_TABLE_ERROR) mentioning that the table is unknown. (Bug #18047794) * For Fabric operations, the default mode was supposed to be read/write but was set to read-only. (Bug #18047591) * For Fabric operations, an incorrect exception was raised by set_property() when a connection property value had the wrong type (for example, when the tables property was not a tuple or a list). set_property() now correctly raises a ValueError. (Bug #18047758) * Fabric has renamed the dump functionality to a new command called dump. Consequently, Connector/Python now uses the new functions dump.sharding_information, dump.fabric_nodes, and dump.servers. (Bug #71124, Bug #17965619) * MySQLCursor.executemany() caused a UnicodeDecodeError when non-ASCII characters existed in the seq_params parameter and the operation was a Unicode instance with Python 2. This is now corrected by encoding the operation per the current connection character set. (Bug #69067, Bug #18220593) * The delay between attempts when trying to connect to a MySQL Fabric-managed server was not honored. (Bug #71905, Bug #18335432) Documentation -------------------- Online: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/connector-python/en/index.html The source distribution includes the manual in various formats under the docs/ folder. Reporting Bugs -------------------- We welcome and appreciate your feedback and bug reports: http://bugs.mysql.com/ Enjoy! On Behalf of the MySQL RE team at Oracle, Sreedhar S

New Senior For Programming Department
Posted 09 April 2006 - 05:39 PM
Recently Rincewind has informed us that due to real life issues, he cant be able to keep running the programming department. I would like you to join me in wish him the best of luck with his new software company. Who knows, when his company grows he may like to share some developers with us .
Following the recomendation procedure, Guyver has been selected to replace Rincewind as the new Programming Department Senior Member. For those that do not know him much, he has been the third in the decision chain for a long time already and had his own team in the stackless branch of development; so we are more than positive he is one of the most qualified individuals for the position.
Join us in congratulating Guyver for his promotion!

Thank you Rincewind for your leadership, for your knowledge and those design discussions we never finished. It was good to have a boss like you. I hope you won't be disappointed with me.
Thank you all, who programmed as much as whole features and as less as one line bug fix. Keep doing this, and we'll progress fast.
Oh my, thanks guys . Have a productive day
