Astronomers have discovered quite a few objects that can only be explained as black holes. These objects are dark, so we cannot see them, but they exert a powerful influence on the stars, gas, and even space around them. These objects are so dark, dense, and heavy that they must be either black holes or something even more exotic.
There is a lot of discussion on this topic on Internet. Here just few links:

What is it?
It's a program that can converts BMP, PNG, PCX and GIF format images into raw or compressed 8×8 pixel separated-bitplane tile data suitable for inclusion in SMS and GG homebrew programs. At the same time, it optimises duplicate tiles, creates a tilemap to recreate the original image and converts the palette for you.
BMP2Tile 0.41 (450KB)
What's new
- 3/9/15 0.41
Fixed the export of tile map data with extended settings (flags, non-zero start index); now bundling all compressor plugins
- 18/3/09 0.40
Rewrote the tile/tilemap code, it's much faster now; added plugin support; removed 1/2/3bpp output support, plugins can do that now.
- 4/4/05 0.35
Fixed a stupid bug with 8-bit images; modified demo to use more varied source images to help with testing, and included source that got left out of 0.34.

Scouring the recently-posted PopSci archives on Google Books, reader Wesley Treat has put together a collection documenting the magazine's odd, decades-long obsession with the idea of a personal monowheel.
Just as vague questions of cosmology and consciousness make up just about every other cover of New Scientist today, fantastical futurist gadgets were at one point the safe default for the covers of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics. Like lots of the other cover staples, the monowheel has to some degree come to pass, but hardly to the extent that you might have been led to believe it might in 1917. Or 1923. Or 1938. You get the idea. [RoadsideResort]

Capitol Christmas Tree Arrives
The Capitol Christmas Tree has just arrived at the West Front of the U.S. Capitol! This year's tree is a 73-foot Engelmann spruce that came all the way from Colorado. It was harvested on November 2, and since then has made its way across the country to its new home on the West Front Lawn of the U.S. Capitol.
Now that the tree is here the AOC's Capitol Grounds and Construction Division crews will set the tree in place on the Capitol Grounds and then quickly decorate it with lights and approximately 5,000 ornaments. This will all be done in time for the lighting ceremony at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, December 4.
Architect of the Capitol Stephen Ayers was on hand to accept the tree from the state of Colorado.
Update: AOC staff are using a crane to lift the tree into place on the West Front Lawn. The tree weighs 9000 pounds!
Update: Tree almost in place on Capitol Grounds.

Gerald (Gerry) Meltz, internationally known for his contributions to the field of fiber optic sensing and for his discovery and development of UV written fiber Bragg gratings, passed away June 9, 2010 after a long battle with cancer. He was 75.
In recognition of his contributions, Meltz received the prestigious Optoelectronics Rank Prize in 2002 for the invention of a practical means for making fiber gratings and for developing a wide range of grating-based sensor and telecommunication component applications. He was the founder and managing partner of OFT ASSOCIATES LLC (OFT), an engineering and scientific consulting firm specializing in the modeling, design and analysis of optical fiber waveguides and fiber Bragg grating filters, sensors and other telecommunication devices. OFT provided consulting advice and support to many prominent major corporations, including Corning, United Technologies Corporation, ABB, Halliburton, Deutsch Telekom, General Dynamics Advanced Technology Systems, and JDSU.
From 1976-1996, Gerry was with the United Technologies Research Center where he held the position of Principal Scientist. In this capacity, he conducted and directed research in a variety of topics in optical science and engineering including fundamental studies of optical fiber and thin-film waveguide photosensitivity and the investigation of techniques for quasi-distributed fiber-optic sensing and measurement of strain, pressure, vibration, temperature and chemical detection. As the principal inventor of UV side-written fiber Bragg gratings, he led the team that developed the technology of photo-induced gratings in fibers and thin films. He also invented and developed passive and active grating-based components including narrowband filters, wavelength-selective taps, and fiber laser devices.
From 1972-1976, Gerry held the position of Staff Scientist in the Advanced Development Laboratory of the Raytheon Company where he analyzed the performance of radar and communication systems. From 1967 to 1972, he was a Project Leader at the MITRE Corporation where he contributed to the analysis, simulation and design of radar collection systems. During the years 1962-1967, he was at Sperry Rand Research Center where he conducted fundamental research in plasma physics, acousto-optics and ultrasonics. Gerry was at Air Force Cambridge Research Laboratories from 1958-1962, first as an officer in the United States Air Force and later as Chief of the Plasma Dynamics Branch. During 1956-1958, he worked part-time at the Hughes Research Laboratories while pursing graduate studies as a Howard Hughes Fellow.
Gerry obtained his undergraduate education in Mechanical Engineering and Applied Mathematics at New York University and completed his graduate studies in Applied Mathematics and Physics, as a Howard Hughes Fellow, at the University of Southern California. He lectured at the California Institute of Technology, University of Southampton (U. K.), Kings College (London) and the University of Lille (France) and was an invited speaker at The Rank Prize Fund Lectures in the U.K., the Gordon Conferences on the Physics of Glass, OSA Optical Fiber Conference, OSA Annual Meeting, OSA Optical Fiber Sensor Conference, and at several SPIE Conferences on Fiber Optics. He co-organized the first OSA Topical Conference on Photosensitivity and Quadratic Nonlinearity in Glass Waveguides and was a guest editor and lead contributor to a special issue of the Journal of Lightwave Technology.
Gerry published more than 25 journal articles and holds 32 patents. His inventions have been licensed to many companies throughout the world and are the basis for several commercial enterprises engaged in the production of gratings for telecommunication components, sensors and fiber lasers.
Gerry was a referee for Optics Letters, Optics Communications, Photonics Technology Letters, Electronics Letters, IEEE/OSA Journal of Lightwave Technology, and Journal of the Optical Society and Applied Physics Letters. In addition, he assisted the Canadian Government in its review of Government funded fiber optics research and reviewed National Science Foundation grant applications. He also provided scientific and engineering consulting advice to the Advanced Research Projects Agency and the Department of Defense JASON advisory board.
Gerry was a member of Tau Beta Pi, Pi Tau Sigma, and Sigma Xi. He received the Pi Tau Sigma Outstanding Junior Mechanical Engineer Award while at New York University. He also received United Technologies Corporation's Special Award for Extraordinary Achievement in Product Design (1983), United Technologies Research Center's Special Award for Outstanding Contributions to the Advancement of Science and Technology (1986) and the award for Outstanding Contributions to the Advancement of Science and Technology (1991).
Gerry is survived by his loving wife Gloria, his daughters Wendy Fossum and Abby Webster, his sons-in-law Carl Fossum and Peter Webster and his four grandchildren.
This obituary was contributed by Gloria Meltz.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California's marketplace for buying individual health insurance often failed to verify important personal information and resolve discrepancies in applications, a critical process in determining if people are eligible for taxpayer subsidies, a federal watchdog said Tuesday.
Covered California did not resolve inconsistencies in data, failed to verify citizenship and legal residence, and entered paper applications incorrectly into its system, the inspector general of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services said in a report.
Nationwide, the White House touted that 8 million people signed up in the first open enrollment period under the federal health overhaul. California alone enrolled 1.4 million people in private health plans.
The state's shortcomings were highlighted in a review of the federal marketplace and the California and Connecticut state exchanges to ensure that accurate information is being submitted for enrollment and tax credits.
"The deficiencies in internal controls that we identified may have limited the marketplaces' ability to prevent the use of inaccurate or fraudulent information when determining eligibility of applicants for enrollment," the report said.
The review was requested by congressional Republicans as a condition for ending the budget standoff that partially shut down the government last fall. Republicans said they are concerned that people who are not legally entitled to the government-subsidized private health insurance could nonetheless be getting it.
Covered California responded that it had resolved some inconsistencies but lacked resources to resolve all of them.
"We remain in compliance with federal guidance and are using the audit's findings as part of our continuous improvement and refinement of our processes and systems," Covered California Executive Director Peter Lee said in a statement.
A companion report by the inspector general said there were inconsistencies in the enrollment eligibility of 145,307 applicants in California out of more than 500,000 applicants based on early enrollment data from October to December 2013. The vast majority of the inconsistencies were in income and citizenship.
The report said many of the personal details submitted by consumers did not match government records.
Lee wrote in a response to the inspector general that the state did not entirely agree with the findings. He noted that part of the review was based on an early sample of just 45 applications out of 1.4 million enrollments in the first year.
Covered California agreed that paper applications weren't always properly processed, inconsistent data was left unresolved, and eligibility data not properly maintained. But the state said it verifies citizenship and legal residency through the Social Security Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.
"During the early months of open enrollment, the Federal Services Data Hub was frequently offline, which impacted Covered California's ability to verify some cases as noted in the audit," the state wrote.

Invalid Business Assumptions
Each person goes through the day making assumptions. We assume the sun will rise in the east; the light will turn on in the bathroom; the shower will have hot water; the car will start when we leave for work and our computer will connect to the internet. The number of assumptions we make every day as we walk through our lives must add up into the hundreds. We are blind to them because events unfolding in front of us do not challenge our assumptions but instead support them. Unknowingly to us most of our assumptions are strengthened every day.
Perhaps assumptions are mental habits or conditioning and serve a similar purpose to learning how to tie shoes. When we first learn to tie a shoe it requires considerable attention or intentionality. We think about each move and either verbally or mentally repeat the instructions. It is a very manual and slow process. As we learn to tie our shoes we create 'moving memory'. The more we practice the less attention is required and the faster and smoother we become. After the memory is completely programmed within us there is no benefit to keep thinking about each movement. Movement without thought can be a good thing. Ask any athlete about thinking too much when playing a sport. Just let your body do what it does and it will perform well.
Assumptions are often referred to as something bad. Many times I have heard the phrase: "You know what happens when you assume something? Makes an ass out of u and me". So what would our lives be like if we didn't make any assumptions? What if we thought through every situation and condition before making a decision or taking a step? If making assumptions is a bad thing then it follows that not making assumptions is a good thing.
We have all had an experience where we made an assumption that led to an unexpected and negative incident. In those situations we vow to never assume anything again because it can sneak up and bite us. Is that vow realistic or even desirable?
Why do we make assumptions? To relieve ourselves of the active thinking about events that almost always occur based upon our experiences. We don't waste our time thinking about whether the sun will rise. We don't think about how our bodies will digest the food we have for lunch. We don't think about many things going on around us.
So from one perspective assumptions are time savers. That is until the assumption does not work in our favor. It is similar to the noise the refrigerator makes when it is running – you don't notice it until it stops. We don't see our assumptions until things do not go according to plan. Then we look for what we missed and try to see how it could have gone differently. Quite often we discover an action we overlooked but did not recognize because we made an invalid assumption.
This is especially true in business. Decisions based upon invalid assumptions can lead to disastrous results but we are blind to the assumptions until the results are coming in. And then it can be too late.
Imagine the value of a list of common invalid business assumptions that lead to poor performance. By knowing the assumptions you can avoid making them. Stay blind and you are doomed to repeat them over and over again.
During the past four years my business partner and I have been compiling such a list and have found them to fall into four categories. For the sake of brevity I have only included one invalid assumption in each category along with a description of the assumption. I have three more invalid assumptions for each category listed in a lengthier document. If you wish a copy of that document contact me through this blog or directly reach me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
The first category of invalid business assumptions executives make are about the Goals they develop. These are important assumptions because the goals of a business establish the performance requirements for the entire enterprise. For instance if a corporate sales goal is to increase revenue by a certain dollar amount then the year will be considered successful only if the business performs at that level. Anything less is unsatifactory. Goals and performance requirements are the same thing.
· All Goals are Achievable.
o Just because you set a goal does not mean you can achieve it. Businesses are challenged to set "Big, Hairy, Audacious, Goals" (BHAGs) but if those goals are not achievable then setting and working on the goals is actually harmful. There is nothing wrong with setting stretch goals but they need to be attainable. If it is impossible for your business to grow a certain percentage with your existing Business Model – there are five discretely defined components to a Business Model – then you have to either change the goal or redesign your business to be able to achieve that goal. If you are not designed to achieve the goal then no matter how hard you work or push your people you will not reach the goal.
· Invalid Goal assumption 2
· Invalid Goal assumption 3
· Invalid Goal assumption 4
The second category of invalid business assumptions made by executives concern the Design of their business. There seems to be an intuitive understanding that businesses have a design because the term Business Model is used frequently by CEOs. A model is the physical manifestation of a design. When a product is prototyped the designer creates a set of blueprints (designs) that are used to build the model. The next time a CEO speaks about his/her business model ask him/her to show you the design. And since the CEO's understanding of the business design is so vague it is easy to have invalid assumptions about it. Here is one.
· Improving Information will Improve the Design of the Business
o Many executives look to IT systems to solve their problems. With better information they will be positioned to make more intelligent and timely decisions. Executives need to remember that systems support organizations / organizations execute processes / processes create products or services / products or services are delivered to customers. Systems are the last thing executives should be looking to change! Will replacing the dashboard (information system) in your car change its performance capabilities? No. The root cause problem in your business is seldom the result of any IT system. The fault usually lies in the design of the business.
· Invalid Design assumption 2
· Invalid Design assumption 3
· Invalid Design assumption 4
The third category of invalid business assumptions deals with Strategies. This is an activity that nearly executive has engaged in and can relate to. It is the source of out-of-the-box thinking and it sets the direction of the corporation for years to come. Strategic planning is considered essential for the survival of every company because executives know that to be stagnant is to die. They have to change and the vehicle for change is thought to be strategies. And if this is indeed the vehicle (which we know it is not) then any invalid assumption in this group can be crippling. Here is the first invalid business assumption in this group:
· Strategies are Strategies
o Not all strategies are created equal. There are at least three types of strategies: design strategies, implementation strategies and execution strategies. The nature of each type of strategy is very different as well as their timing. Business executives often confuse a design strategy with the design of the business. They are two completely different ideas and need to be kept separate in order to reduce confusion. Know the difference between design and strategy.
· Invalid Strategy assumption 2
· Invalid Strategy assumption 3
· Invalid Strategy assumption 4
The fourth group of invalid business assumptions is about Performance. Performance is important for the health of the organization. If there is substandard performance from the customer's perspective then sales will suffer and the business will fail. Customers are looking for companies that can offer the greatest Value Proposition. If there are performance issues as it relates to the return on investment then stockholders will opt to invest their monies in better performing businesses. Shareholders are looking to create personal wealth and companies that are not financially successful suffer in the market place and that has a negative impact on the company's stock price. Actual Performance is very important in the long-term prospects of any company.
· Performance Problems are Always Execution Problems
o Business executives are aware of the impact that the quality of a design has on the performance of the product but they fail to apply that understanding to their business. 80% of the time the quality and relevance of the business design is at the root of performance problems. A poor design can never result in good performance. But since executives are unaware of business design they see execution as the culprit. Execution is particularly attractive to management since those problems are the fault of the employees while the quality of the design is management's responsibility.
· Invalid Performance assumption 2
· Invalid Performance assumption 3
· Invalid Performance assumption 4
Knowing that you are operating under an invalid assumption may give you the chance to change your decision making. If you are making assumptions about things that you can control then you do have the option to make changes. If your assumptions are about large external events such as the economy, then you can not control the outcome but you can develop scenarios.

In an undeniably cool move, Anthony Booker of Iowa State flipped off the camera after being assessed a flagrant foul and taken out of today's game against West Virginia. It would have been cooler if he was apathetically rolling his eyes, or wearing sunglasses, or smoking a cigarette—or all three—but except for maybe the first play here, Booker played it about as cool as you can on a basketball court. His passion for the game is almost as inspiring as his angry disregard for its audience.
Booker later apologized, citing the fact that there were little kids at the game, to which the little kids almost definitely responded with an awed mix of reverence and fear. That's what being cool looks like, children of West Virginia. Try to emulate it whenever possible.

On Friday, Sept. 27, 2 p.m., join Captain Dave Russell, commander of the Animal Control Unit, for a discussion on controlling rabies in our community and protecting yourself, your family and your pets. Rabies is a deadly virus that primarily infects wildlife and is most often spread through the bite of a rabid animal. In the county, raccoons, skunks, foxes, and bats are the animals most likely to be sick with rabies. Unvaccinated pets that contact wildlife are at high risk of becoming infected. While rabies rarely causes disease in humans in the U.S., people exposed to a rabid animal can become sick, and with very rare exceptions, rabies disease is fatal.
David Russell
Good afternoon, I'm Captain Russell, commander of the Animal Control Unit. I'd love to answer your questions about rabies.
Anonymous User
When my dog killed a raccoon, it had to be quarantined even though it was up to date on its shots. Does this mean that rabies vaccinations are not 100% effective?
What is the typical length of time between a pet being exposed to the rabies virus and the pet showing symptoms of infection?
During this period of time (incubation) can the disease be transmitted to humans or other animals?
Is there a trend in Fairfax County that shows either an increase or a decrease in rabies among all species?
How about among any of the individual rabies vector species?
Over the last 20 years, are there any reports of opossums testing positive for rabies?
David Russell
Rabies vaccinations are not 100% effective. For example, if the animal's immune system is compromised, it may never respond to vaccinations. But the main reason for boosting your dog is to heighten your animal's immune system, so that it can fight the rabies virus.
The average length of time between exposure and a pet showing symptoms is approximately 30 days. During the 30 day incubation time, the animal would not be infectious; however, the animal may be able to transmit rabies up to 10 days prior when the animal begins showing signs of the virus.
Rabies is endemic in Fairfax County and is not trending up or down (including any individual rabies vector species).
Fairfax County has no reported rabies cases involving opossums in the past 20 years.
Anonymous User
Are there any rabies clinics coming up?
David Russell
There are numerous rabies clinics scheduled for the remainder of the year. The next clinic is this Sunday, Sept. 29 at the Sully District Government Center, 2-4 p.m. The full schedule of upcoming rabies clinics is available online http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/police/animal/rabies.htm#2009ReducedCostRabiesClinics

What's the right age to get your dog his rabies shot? If I took a dog in from a friend and don't know if he's had his shots yet, is there any harm in getting him a rabies shot-if the previous owner did get him one?
David Russell
The right age to get your dog his rabies shot is three months, it is required by four months in Virginia. If you did not get medical records (or they are not available) proving that the dog has had his shots, you would need to get his rabies shot. Some dogs may have a reaction to the vaccine in general. Consulting with your vet is recommended.
Anonymous User
Is a rabid animal obvious in early stages of rabies? What do you look for? What about in humans?
David Russell
Symptoms can be vague early on. Some of the first symptoms you would look for of a rabid dog would be: change in tone of the dog's bark, chewing at the bite site, fever, loss of appetite, other subtle changes in behavior. Any change in an animal's behavior can be suggestive of rabies. These changes can include depression, hiding, partial paralysis (abnormal facial expressions, drooping head, sagging jaw, paralyzed hind limbs), episodes of extreme aggression and excitement, indiscriminate aggression, excessive drooling, and/or problems swallowing.
In humans, according to the CDC, the first symptoms of rabies may be very similar to those of the flu including general weakness or discomfort, fever, or headache. These symptoms may last for days.
There may be also discomfort or a prickling or itching sensation at the site of bite, progressing within days to symptoms of cerebral dysfunction, anxiety, confusion, agitation. As the disease progresses, the person may experience delirium, abnormal behavior, hallucinations, and insomnia.
The acute period of disease typically ends after 2 to 10 days. Once clinical signs of rabies appear, the disease is nearly always fatal, and treatment is typically supportive.
Anonymous User
What if you get bit by a stray? How worried about rabies should you be? Can doctors tell or would they immediately jump to shots, etc. to protect you from rabies?
David Russell
If you are bit by a stray, the first concern would be for wound care to prevent bacterial infection. The bite should be reported to Animal Control at 703-691-2131 immediately. In most cases, you should not be that worried about rabies; however, follow the guidance of your doctor.
Also, in most cases, the Health Department would not recommend getting rabies shots immediately after the bite. In Fairfax County, Animal Control is able to locate over 90% of the dogs and cats that bite humans. If the animal is captured, Animal Control will quarantine the animal for 10 days. As long as the dog or cat is still healthy after 10 days, then it's not possible that you were exposed to rabies. Please keep in mind that these quarantines apply to only dogs, cats and ferrets.
Anonymous User
How many cases have been reported in the last five years?
David Russell
Approximately 40-50 animals per year test positive for rabies in the county. The last case of human rabies in the county was in 2009, and the exposure occurred outside of the U.S.
Anonymous User
How likely is it someone would get rabies from a bat? Could you even tell you've been bitten-would be a pretty small bite.
David Russell
Approximately 97% of all bats do not carry the rabies virus; however, 90% of rabies related deaths in the U.S. are believed to be from bats. Please keep in mind that 2-3 people a year die from rabies in the U.S. If you are alert at the time of the bite, then you would most likely feel it.
If you find a bat in your home or have direct contact with one outside, please call Animal Control at the non-emergency number 703-691-2131.
Anonymous User
If the incubation period is 30 days then why is there only a 10 day quarantine for animals when they bite someone?
David Russell
10 day confinement periods are only done on dogs, cats or ferrets that have bitten humans. Once the dog, cat or ferret is able to transmit the virus, it will die within eight days.
David Russell
Thank you for joining me this afternoon to discuss rabies awareness. More information on rabies is available online at http://www.fairfaxcounty.gov/hd/rabies/.
To report a potentially rabid animal, please call the non-emergency number at 703-691-2131.
Please keep in mind that all animal bites to humans are reportable in Fairfax County.

Former U.S. Secretary of State Henry Kissinger was hospitalized on Saturday after he complained of stomach pains, NBC News reported.
Officials at Yonsei Severance Hospital in the South Korean capital told the Korea Herald newspaper that Kissinger, 86, was recovering. NBC News reported that his ailment was "not serious."
"He will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow (Sunday) and fly to China," a source told the Herald.
U.S. & World
Hospital staff said Kissinger, who was in Seoul to deliver a lecture on North Korea's nuclear program, was taken to there at around 11:00 a.m. local time on Saturday, after suddenly feeling abdominal pain.
Kissinger helped open formal relations between China and the U.S. and arms-control agreements with the Soviet Union under Presidents Richard Nixon and Gerald Ford.
He shared the Nobel Peace Prize with Le Duc Tho for the 1973 cease-fire which led to the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Vietnam.

Goal-focused, short-term therapy: a practical solution
If you have a painful emotional problem that limits your ability to work or to enjoy life, you need a therapist whose first priority is to get you back on your feet quickly.
I have devoted my career to the practice of short-term therapy because it provides a practical answer to my patients' needs.
The most common problems that therapists deal with, depression and anxiety, can both be effectively treated using clinically proven protocols that last under 20 sessions. Many other problems can also be treated in less than six months of weekly therapy.
Short-term psychotherapy isn't for every type of problem or every type of patient. Life-long problems take longer to cure. The first step, reducing the impact of symptoms, is almost always accomplished using short-term methods. Regardless of how long you've had your problem, you should learn more about the type of treatment I provide.

I was devastated to discover that Greenwich Village Market is to cease trading after this weekend (21/22 March) — to make way for a housing development which is no longer to take place. As the Evening Standard reports:
The land was originally earmarked for housing but the recession stopped that. The developers have pulled out. Yet the owners of the site, Capital and Counties, have still given the market notice to quit.
There is talk of Greenwich University buying the land but even if it happened, the site would be vacant for years while a proposal is worked up and taken through the planning process.
For those who aren't familiar with the Greenwich markets, the Village Market is the slightly scruffy outdoors part towards the station, open on weekends with myriad antiques, record and bric-a-brac stalls of the type that can be eminently rooted through for a full afternoon. It's adjacent to the fantastically nichey Old Bottle Shop, and has long been my favourite of London's markets, nestling between the overpriced tourist-magnets of Portobello and Spitalfields and the glorious rock-bottom junk hoard of Deptford.
And yes, it's being turfed out to remain derelict for the foreseeable future. Thanks, developers. This weekend is the last weekend that they will be trading, and I urge people to make a swift visit before it's gone.
There's also news that the venerable Brixton Market almost befell the same fate, with London Associated Properties attempting to steamroller it into a "West End-style shopping precinct", but it has received a temporary reprieve thanks to the onset of recession and protests from local traders. There's a current attempt to get the site listed to make this arrangement permanent - here's hoping...

Maybe it's how weirdly enjoyable Russell's music is, but in the spate of reviews for his re-released albums, no-one seems to be dwelling much on the "tragic early death from AIDS, etc." This is a fact, but not a factor. See, Arthur Russell made tremendously unlikely music throughout the 80s (cello-led disco?!); collaborated with Allen Ginsberg, Phillip Glass, and various Talking Heads and Modern Lovers; and the handful of fully realized albums now available don't need any elegies or myths of what-could-have-been to justify discovering them. Plus, we have this compilation of non-album tracks and singles (Love Is Overtaking Me), to trace Russell's musical evolution from the mid-70s to the mid-80s, or rather to summon some nostalgia for his rural youth before he came to NYC, through the cowboy songs he covered, and the country-tinged pop he wrote alongside the better known songs (goto myspace.com/anotherthought ).
Assuming that there are only a small number of Arthur Russell aficionados already out there, it makes more sense to address those of you digging Alt. Country – depending how much you dig it, there are either one or two fairly splendid albums embedded in these 22 songs, running to 64 minutes in total. While this starts out as an easy listening but never-quite-sickly take on Country – the gradual experimentation between 1974 and 1986 means that you can literally hear Arthur Russell inventing Smog, Lambchop ('I Forget and I Can't Tell'), Yo La Tengo ('Habit of You'), and, best of all, Magnetic Fields ('Janine', the deliriously poppy 'Big Moon', and Russell's own favourite, 'The Letter'). Whatever the actual degree of influence, only Magnetic Fields (with their mannered male & female vocals, cellos, and programming) really straddle both sides of Arthur Russell. It's a little sad to think that Russell never had a fraction of the (limited) success of any of these, but it's in his striving for a new pop sound that he matches the idiosyncrasies of each, with a further decade of new equipment and production techniques available to them, and consistently makes his own process seem like a leap in the dark.
As mentioned above, there are a couple of good albums in here, depending on how authentic you like your country music. Personally, I'd start at 'This time Dad, you're wrong', where Russell's delivery is most like Kurt Wagner from Lambchop, and the sentiment has a wry humour for never quite explaining the title-lyric (what? that disco shouldn't have cello? that gayism is bad?). A personal favourite is 'What it's like', the longest, and most instrumentally-detailed track here. Basically, the song starts off like Smog putting some dirt into Eric Clapton's 'Wonderful Tonight' – with a simple narrative of a country girl confessing her sexual adventures in the cornfields to her priest; she had to know, but that doesn't mean she doesn't love Jesus, right? When the horns come in halfway through, think 'Fistful of Love' by Antony & the Johnsons – this may lack the punch, as it were, but a bit of light perversion always keeps the session-players awake, and putting some feeling into what would otherwise be pastiche. Russell also happens to be one of the few people you could compare, vocally, to Antony Hegarty without having to devise some disclaimer, or "but…"
Yes, there are better places to start with Arthur Russell – only the final track here ('Love Comes Back' from 1990) actually shows off Russell's cello-led signature sound – but this is a worthy release in its own right, and one for the Magnetic Fields-devotees out there, pining for another Charm of the Highway Strip, or anyone who prefers (contented, Joanna Newsom-era) Bill Callahan to (murky, Chan Marshall-era) Smog.

The Scheme in Python series has been completed! Since there are still a few readers of this blog and I haven't yet setup domain forwarding, I'll post the links page here.
The Scheme in Python project is a port of the Scheme in Scheme project. The goal is to implement a small subset of Scheme as an interpreter written in Python.
There are a number of goals for this project. First, implementing Scheme in Scheme allowed us to "cheat" a bit by having access to the Scheme reader and data structures. Using Python as the implementation language will force us to code the reader by hand and create new data structures where there isn't a one-to-one mapping from Scheme to Python.
There are also two auxiliary goals to this project. Using Python should make this more accessible to programmers who are interested in language development, but are unfamiliar with Scheme. Also I'm using this project as a way to familiarize myself with branching and merging in git, so each post will correspond to a branch in the repository.
All the code for this project will be hosted on GitHub. The code is licensed under a BSD license if you are interested in forking it for any reason.
This series will focus on building a very simple interpreter for the purpose of learning the steps involved in building one. For this reason there will be no/very little error checking or optimization. This port will be slightly more complicated than Scheme in Scheme so if you are interested in an even simpler interpreter look here.
Part 2 | Extending the read layer
Part 3 | Pairs and linked lists
Part 4 | Self-evaluating values
Part 5 | Assignment and define
Part 8 | Primitive procedures and apply
* Most implementations of Scheme in Python use regular expressions in the reader. I chose to write a parser by hand so I could explain some of the details of parsing. As this is an educational exercise I think this is appropriate.
Other resources for writing a Scheme in Python
lis.py and lispy.py
Simple Schemes written by Peter Norvig.
I haven't got the chance to look at Psyche or pyscheme, but you may be interested in them as well.
Other resources for writing a Scheme in Scheme or other languages
Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs
Chapter 4 onward covers designing and implementing a number of interpreters and was the inspiration for this interpreter.
An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction (PDF)
Great paper on building a Scheme compiler from the ground up. Each step is simple and results in a fully working compiler.
Scheme from Scratch
The blog series that inspired and guided the development of the original Lispy. Even if you don't know C (I didn't at the time) you will still be able to follow along and construct your own Scheme. Peter's coding style is easy and pleasant to read and he mentions tips for going in different directions for your own implementations.
A Self-Hosting Evaluator using HOAS (PDF)
An interesting implementation of Scheme using a Higher-Order Abstract Syntax representation. This paper, An Incremental Approach to Compiler Construction and SICP were the primary motivating forces behind my interest in PL design and implementation. The author, Eli Barzilay, has many other interesting papers at his site.
Chai – Math ∩ Programming
A series detailing the development of Chai (what appears to be a Scheme-like language). It is well written and currently in development. I'll post more information when it's available.
Scheme in Scheme
Another series that is just beginning about writing a bytecode interpreter. It appears to be put on hold as of April 2011.
Lisp in Scheme
An implementation of McCarthy's original Lisp in Scheme.

God bless your brother. Thank him for me .
Peace bro
I am surprised one of the local NY tabloids haven't contacted you yet about a regular feature in the paper. I suppose the blog allows you to work on your own schedule - rather than being committed to producing these at 10pm every night (I think i read somewhere that you draft these up in about 30 minutes in the mornings?).ReplyDelete
I would just love to see these in print somewhere. It would bring me back to childhood days when I used to cut out Gallo's work for my school folders and notebooks. I've tried cutting these out at work - but after three or four computer screens, I realized it just isn't the same.

If you've tuned out the governor's race, don't blame yourself. Each day is a series of exchanges about who has been lying about whose record. Which is why it was so stunning that yesterday, in the midst of the usual sniping, a substantive exchange leaked out.
The subject was capital gains taxes. Whitman has proposed eliminating the state tax on capital gains. The state is one of the few that doesn't tax capital gains at a lower rate than traditional income, and Whitman argues in her policy pamphlet that California should behave like other states when it comes to such taxes. Whitman argues that the change would boost capital formation and investment, and help produce jobs.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Brown, in the above appearance on CNN (which was mostly devoted to personal swipes), made one criticism on policy: "I'll tell you one thing we shouldn't do that Whitman's advocating is abolish the capital gains tax."
He predicted the Whitman proposal would cost the state between $5 and $9 billion annually. He also noted that she would benefit from such a cut.
Intriguingly, Brown's defense of the current capital gains tax in California is the sort of classical economic position associated with some conservatives. That position: the government should treat all forms of income, whether from salaries or capital gains, the same, as California does. In effect, Whitman, through the embrace of capital gains tax elimination and other targeted tax breaks, is seeking to have the government to pick winners and losers. (This smacks of the kind of "social engineering" conservatives like to complain about).
Of course, the capital gains rate isn't a front burner issue. But these are two candidates who, for all the attack politics, sound very much alike on the issues. Both say they want to cut spending. Both are against taxes. Each is competing to sound like a friend of immigrant families. So when they disagree on a matter of substance, let's be grateful.


text: There seems to be an assumption in the phrase 'indirect discrimination' that I am not sure about. If a student cannot write in their own language but wishes to learn English, then they will be greatly disadvantaged if they don't learn to write it, unless they need it for a specific purpose where they are only required to speak and listen. They would need special teaching in literacy skills.

Catching up with British pommel horse hotness Louis Smith: The Olympic silver and bronze medalist medalist slash Strictly Come Dancing champion strips down to a powder blue Speedo for UK homostyle glossy Gay Times.
Smith also discusses marriage equality, gay athletes and the homoerotics of gymnastics—"You're always wearing a leotard!"—and other topics in the August 2013 GT. Smith says that although he is heterosexual, if he had to choose he would "go gay" for actor Will Smith. "He's very dedicated to his family, he's very loyal, funny, hard working and talented," said the gymnast. "So, in the most non-sexual way, it would have to be based on the person."

CFTC Obtains Final Judgment against Italian National Carmine Garofalo Charged with Illegal Trading
Court orders distribution of frozen assets resulting in full restitution to fraud victim.
Washington, DC - The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) announced today that the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois entered a final default judgment on May 5, 2011, against defendant Carmine Garofalo, an Italian national who purports to reside in Tunisia, requiring him pay $614,925 in restitution and a $1,844,775 civil monetary penalty. The CFTC charged Garofalo with fraud and noncompetitive trading in connection with transactions executed on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange (CME) in March 2010 (see CFTC Press Release 5813-10, April 22, 2010).
On August 16, 2011, the court entered a distribution order requiring that funds previously frozen in a personal account held by Garofalo at Interactive Brokers LLC be used to pay restitution and a portion of Garofalo's civil monetary penalty. The court's order requires that full restitution of $614,925 be paid to the victim of Garofalo's fraudulent transactions.
The court's final judgment order finds that Garofalo simultaneously entered trades for his account at Interactive Brokers LLC and an account held at an Italian bank on behalf of a Luxembourg-based client. Garofalo intentionally executed parallel orders to buy and sell E-mini S&P 500 options and Euro/U.S. Dollar European Style Premium options during after-hours trading on the March 5, 2010 trading day -- a period of low volume options trading -- with the purpose of having the opposite orders find and match each other on the CME's Globex trading platform, the order finds. According to the order, during a 5-hour period on the March 5, 2010 trading day, Garofalo fraudulently executed 168 trades in the account of the client and was successful in matching 119 of the orders with orders placed in his personal account, resulting in a money pass.
The CFTC thanks the CME Group, the Italian Commissione Nazionale per le Società e la Borsa, and the U.S. Consulate in Milan, Italy, for their assistance.
CFTC staff members responsible for this matter are Allison Baker Shealy, George Malas, Jennifer Smiley, Paul G. Hayeck, and Joan Manley.

Ruche was created and designed in 2008 by Mai Olivo and Josh Olivo, with our furry companion Roji.
Ruche was not something that grew overnight. In 2005, as a hobby, we sold vintage inspired beaded sandals on ebay.
Like all fashion crazes, the demand for these quickly faded, but Mai continued to search for new items she liked.
As recent graduates and newlyweds, budget was always a big issue. Mai always had a difficult time finding affordable and unique clothing that was "her" style!
That was when she started to sell clothing and jewelry that she loved.
What was a hobby back in 2005 turned into a dream come true in 2008. With a degree in Computer Science and Web Development, Mai created and designed ShopRuche.com.
Ruche was a hobby that we worked on after our regular 8-5 jobs, and like most businesses, started right out of our home.
We would ship during lunch and answer emails during break time. Everyday after work, we came home and played with Ruche until the wee hours of night,
slept a few hours and went back to our day jobs dead tired hehe. Ruche took over our living room, bedroom, garage, and eventually the kitchen counter.
We sacrificed much and finally took a risk, Mai left her job as a web developer and Josh left his engineering management position to run Ruche full time. Leaving our budding careers in the corporate world was nerve racking, but it was the best decision we've made together, plus we could finally get some sleep!
Through trial and error along with inspirations we have collected through the years, we molded Ruche into what it is today - "a vintage inspired boutique with a modern touch".
Ruche is a collaboration of everything that has inspired us - fashion, photography, design, and lifestyle.
We pride ourselves in excellent customer service because we treat every visitor as our friend. Please know that there are real people behind the website and
we always put ourselves in the position of our customers, as we too, are customers elsewhere. We understand how it feels like to anxiously wait for a package,
how happy we are when something is better than pictured online, or how upset we would be when that item came damaged or in the wrong size. Josh and I still
answer emails from time to time, we love what we do! We live and breath Ruche (although it is nice to take a vacation from time to time hehe).
As an independent boutique, we cherish the opportunity to support small boutique brands and indie designers. Nothing feels better than the ability to support
working people to do what they love. Josh and I are blessed to do what we love and we owe it to all those who have loved and supported Ruche thus far.
As Ruche grows we will always keep our prices reasonable and strive for fun and friendly service. We wish for you to always feel at home when you visit Ruche.
We hope you stay a while and grow with us! Thank you for your love and support.
We love comments, feedbacks, and suggestions.
Please feel free to contact us!
--A Special Thanks to all the talented people that we have worked with, our amazing Ruche team, Stephanie Williams and Issac -your friendship and breathtaking photos.

Man sneaks into patrol car, falls asleep
Criminal locks himself inside car, shouts for help
Portland (KPTV) -- A 30-year-old man is accused of sneaking into a patrol car, tearing apart the back seat, falling asleep and accidentally locking himself inside.
An officer heard someone yelling from inside a patrol car parked in a police station parking lot in Portland, Ore. earlier this week. Police said the officer contacted the man, Ruben Turner III, 30, who said he had accidentally locked himself inside the unattended patrol car after deciding to sleep in it overnight. The car had apparently been left unlocked.
Turner is accused of rummaging through the glove box and unhooking the mobile data computer from its mount. Investigators said he then locked himself in the secure custody section of the patrol car in the back seat. He ripped out the foam padding from the plastic seats, police said, and caused damage described as "extensive."
At some point, in an attempt to get someone to help him, police said he wrote "Help" backwards with his finger in the condensation on a window. Police said that particular precinct is not staffed 24 hours a day and nobody was around to help him until Tuesday morning.
Turner was arrested and booked in the Multnomah County Jail on charges of criminal mischief, unlawful entry into a motor vehicle and criminal trespass. The patrol car was removed from service and transported to a city repair facility. Police said the car being left unlocked was a mistake and it will be addressed.

There are few urban settings across America more widely recognized and frequently visited than that of downtown Chicago.
For starters, visit the famous Chicago Union Station, located in the heart of downtown. Have your engagement photographer arrange a portrait of you and your fiancée along either one of the station's grand staircases. You can also pose beside the countless beautiful arches and towering columns spaced along the exterior and interior of the station. Once inside, you'll be amazed by the elevated arched ceiling and the ornate sculptures scattered throughout station's upper level. There are also several balconies overlooking the entire station that will work perfectly for a private portrait of you and your fiancée. As you prepare to embark on a new and exciting journey with your loved one, choose this beautiful and symbolic landmark for your engagement photo session.
Your next stop in downtown Chicago will be the Adler Planetarium, located only two miles from Union Station. The first planetarium built in the Western Hemisphere, this magnificent domed structure and its surrounding area is a great spot for your engagement photo shoot. You and your fiancée can climb up on one of the giant blocks at the entrance or pose on the planetarium's front steps, with the building as a backdrop. The finely landscaped lawns that surround the planetarium are also great for some relaxed, candid photos. Finally, make your way to the exterior steps near the waterfront, where your engagement photographer can capture photos of you and your fiancée with the sparkling Lake Michigan waters and the Chicago skyline as a backdrop.
One of Chicago's largest and most popular parks, Lincoln Park spans almost 2 square miles along the Lake Michigan waterfront and is a great location to have your engagement photography session. During the spring and summer, this Chicago treasure is filled with lush green lawns and large shade trees, which provide a perfect outdoor setting for your photo shoot. The famous Lincoln Park Conservatory is open all year round and offers plenty of vibrant floral exhibits for your viewing pleasure. Housed within the conservatory are four different halls: the Palm House, the Fernery, the Tropical House, and the Show House – the latter of which displays seasonal flower exhibits. The adventurous couple might want to visit the Lincoln Park Zoo, where you and your fiancée can pose with lions, tigers, and bears to spice up your engagement photos! The zoo also contains beautiful glimmering fountains that you and your fiancée can take advantage of to add a splash of fun to your photo shoot. You can even add a playful touch by taking a ride on the zoo's carousel! For a more tranquil, natural setting, head over to North Pond, located near the conservatory just north of Fullerton Avenue. And if you and your fiancée aren't afraid of the water, Lincoln Park's Diversey Harbor and Belmont Harbor offer fun boat rides that are a guaranteed great time. You'll have a blast during your engagement photo shoot at Chicago's Lincoln Park!
Known as one of Chicago's premier tourist attractions, the Navy Pier offers countless exciting features that will make for an unforgettable engagement photography session! A popular highlight is the Navy Pier Park, a fun-filled amusement park that is perfect for the child in you. Take your engagement photographer with you and your fiancée as you ride on the park's 150-foot-tall Ferris Wheel, from which you can see both Lake Michigan and downtown Chicago. The Navy Pier Headhouse is also an amazing place to take engagement photos. Located near the edge of the pier, this stunning domed structure contains an arched interior that will provide a great photo op for you and your fiancée. Navy Pier also offers various kinds of boat rides, one of which will even take you on an architectural tour of the Chicago skyline. If you plan on staying later into the day, sign up for a fantastic fireworks cruise! Come night time, you'll be floating around Lake Michigan as fireworks light up the sky and illuminate the gorgeous Chicago cityscape. Don't miss out on the chance to explore this favorite lakeside attraction during engagement photography session in Chicago, Illinois!

I don't know if it's just that I have an adult ADHD diagnosis to accompany that of my bipolar disorder, but I absolutely LIVE by my LISTS. For instance, when I do not have a list in front of me, it's sometimes literally impossible for me to even begin to do anything at all. I will go from beginning one task to beginning another to beginning still another. With each task that I begin, I almost instantly think of another task that either requires my immediate attention (so I tell myself) before the one I'm currently engaging in or that is simply more interesting (albeit probably just because it isn't the one I'm working on at that moment)! As a result, I eventually feel frustrated and unproductive as I look around at the disarray surrounding me, cataloged in pages and pages of lists with no items crossed off of them, leaving my head overflowing with tasks that I have already become disinterested in and abandoned.
So, whether or not reality actually demonstrates or supports its efficacy, my list-making continues day and night incessantly. I'll begin by writing down every possible task my consciousness can conjure up to do. Then, as I try to find some meaning for all those items, I'll decide that I should probably rewrite them into some different form or into categories. I then proceed to rewrite everything I just wrote again, but this time according to particular headings. However, once I begin to accomplish a few of these tasks and lines are drawn through items in the middle of items without lines, I'll begin to believe I'm wasting time reading over all the marked out items and that I should make a more readable list that only covers those items that still need to be addressed. Consequently, I'll make yet another "updated" list and distinguish the items again in a novel way, such as category or order.
Nevertheless, shortly thereafter, that list also becomes unmanageable or aesthetically displeasing to me, and I'll rationalize that it's preventing me from an otherwise speedy accomplishment of the items listed. So I'll rewrite it again in yet another distinguishing form, perhaps using alternating colored ink. Inevitably, before I know it, the day (or night, depending on my bipolar disorder phase) is coming to a close, and I still have a full page (or, more commonly, full PAGES!) of items that I really believed I had a reasonable chance of completing before my time "ran out." Thus, as a result, I'll wind up confused, depressed, hopeless, defeated and unmotivated to do anything except beat myself up for being a "loser."
It's very difficult to evaluate this cycle. Although I will have been "working" without breaks, I can never understand why in the world I haven't actually accomplished more than my lists indicate (in whatever final version! Ha!) when it's all said and done. As I try to delineate where my time has gone and why "everyone else in the world" is able to finish what they set out to complete, I have come to realize that perhaps my list-making is a form of procrastination… and a very clever one at that! Specifically, since I am technically "working" on the items on the list as I write and rewrite, and rewrite them "to be done," I'm thereby able to fool myself into believing that I'm also being 100% conscious of what I need to be doing, as well as that I'm putting forth all necessary effort in order to do so… yet all the while I am effectively allowing myself to totally avoid actually working on the tasks at all.
I have realized what a sneaky game I play with myself with this cycle. Furthermore, by the final consequence of beating myself up when everything is done (or not done) because of the discrepancy in what I believed I could (or should) finish and what I do, in fact, complete, I'm able to continue to live in my potential comfort zone of self-criticism and perfectionism that I've built for myself over the past couple of years via this very cycle.
I've come to refer to this cycle as "treading water." As such, the list-writing allows me to believe that I'm on task and thereby being responsible and productive (i.e., keeping my head "above water"), yet in reality, I'm not making any progress at all (i.e., swimming to shore). Thus, I am, in effect, merely wasting time – just treading water – using all kinds of energy to kick my feet, but with the underlying reality that I'll eventually tire from the effort. And since I haven't swam anywhere, eventually drown (i.e., become overwhelmed by the lists and give up!) I have also concluded that something must change or I risk inevitably giving up on everything. Moreover, even though I've continued to struggle with rewriting my to-do lists in new and supposedly more interesting formats, I'm now aware of what this useless activity really does with my time. While I haven't gained complete power over my tendency to do this, I am hopeful that by honestly evaluating myself, I'll enable myself to also arrive at an understanding of the source of my behavior. Even more, once I'm able to identify this culprit, I know I'll be able to attack it directly and leave my passive-aggressive list-writing behind me!
Likewise, I challenge each of you to take an honest look at some behavior you believe may be preventing you from living as your best self. Honestly assess what you're doing and take enough time to truly identify the details. It is my hope that thereafter, not only will you recognize the behavior when it's happening, but you'll also be able to follow up by evaluating how you feel at that particular time. When you combine what's happening with how you're feeling, you'll be well on your way to surpassing your previous limits in self-understanding, self-esteem, and self-confidence… and with the added bonus of modifying some limiting behavior in a positive manner!
