Sometimes less is more.
For the second year in a row that was the case for Pioneer High middle distance runner Jeanine Noordam at the Central Coast Section track and field finals.
The talented senior's strategy to drop the 1,600 meters at the May 30 meet–despite racing to a lifetime best 5:01.37 in the CCS semifinals–and focus only on the 800 once again paid off with a berth in the CIF State championships.
Noordam was third for much of the two-lapper around the San Jose City College oval and finished fourth with a personal best 2:11.61, a time that ranks 11th in the state, according to Athletic.net. Only the top three placers earned automatic entry to state, but Noordam advanced by beating the state's at-large qualifying standard by .19.
San Lorenzo Valley senior Anna Maxwell won the race in 2:09.35, followed by juniors Juliana Mount (2:11.09) of Notre Dame and Bianca Bryant (2:11.30) of Piedmont Hills.
Noordam was third in the CCS as a junior and went on to finish ninth at state. She will get a chance to improve on that showing this weekend, June 6-7, at Veterans Memorial Stadium in Clovis.
Willow Glen senior Luis Maciel also will return to the state meet after sweeping the CCS throwing events with winning efforts of 171 feet, 4 inches in the discus and 54-4.25 in the shot put.
As a junior, Maciel competed only in the discus at state, after placing third in the CCS meet with 157-5 and taking fourth in the shot put with 50-3.
Maciel figures to improve on last year's disappointing state result (139-5, 22nd place out of 23 throwers), as he has been consistently above 164 feet in the past two months and hit a PR of 181-9 at the Top 8 Classic in mid-April and reached 181-1 in the Mt. Hamilton Division finals on May 8. Maciel's discus PR ranks ninth in the state, while his best shot put heave, 56-11 on May 1, ranks 21st.
Presentation senior Taylore Jaques, who jumped 13-4.25 to win the state girls pole vault title as a sophomore and 12-6 for second last year, will compete at state for a fourth straight year. The four-time West Catholic Athletic League champion equaled her season best of 12-4 to place third at the CCS meet. Sophomore Sydney Jaques, Taylore's sister, was ninth at 10-6.
First-time state qualifiers include Branham juniors Zachary Nicholls (pole vault), Aidan Kirwan (300 hurdles) and Shelby Shikashio (girls triple jump) and Lincoln junior Daniel Cervantes (800).
Nicholls, who cleared 14-0 and finished fourth in last year's CCS pole vault, went 15-0 last week to tie his PR and place second to Mt. Pleasant senior Mark Nicholas (15-6).
Kirwan, who earlier placed eighth in the 110 hurdles race picked an excellent time to clock a PR (38.78) in the 300. He came out of the final turn in second and held off Los Altos senior Kelly McConell (38.92) to earn his first state bid.
Shikashio finished third in the triple jump with 36-0.75, a bit short of her PR (36-11) that she delivered earlier in the month to win the Blossom Valley Athletic League title.
Cervantes, who finished 20th at last year's CCS semifinals, was a heat winner this season with a lifetime best of 1:56.19, more than two seconds faster than his previous PR. And he backed it up with 1:56.38 and third place in the finals.
Bellarmine junior Marshall Godsil earned his first state berth by taking third in the discus with a throw of 166-8. Godsil, like Maciel last year, just missed advancing in the shot put. He placed fourth with 51-4.5. David Maumalanga of Valley Christian gained a state shot put bid, placing second with a throw of 168-11.
In the girls throws, Valley Christian sophomore Elana Bruckner was a double winner and first-time state qualifier, taking the shot put (43-1) and discus (129-1). Bruckner's teammate, junior Ronna Stone, also advanced to state in the shot put with a second-place effort of 39-11.
It will be the second state meet for Stone, who was third at CCS last year, before throwing the shot put 37-2.25 for 21st out of 29 girls at state. It will be Bruckner's first state meet appearance.
In addition to Godsil in the discus, Bellarmine will be represented at state by both of its relay teams. Senior Grant Bush, sophomore Kyle Macauley, senior Ryan Vong and junior James Silva combined on a second-place finish of 42.50 in the 400, behind only Santa Cruz (42.19).
Macauley anchored the Bells' 1,600 unit, which placed third in 3:24.01. Junior Adam Greenlow ran the first lap and was followed by senior David Dalton and sophomore Marcus Avila.
Bush just missed qualifying in the triple jump. He finished fourth with 45-7, one inch behind third-place Davis Catolico of Lynbrook.
Prospect freshman Olga Baryshnikova placed fourth in the girls high jump, clearing 5-1 and missing a state bid by two inches.
Leigh freshman Emily Smith made her first CCS meet a strong one with PRs in both the 1,600 and 800.
Smith earned a sixth-place medal in the 1,600 by cracking the 5-minute barrier for the first time. Her time of 4:59.44 was more than six minutes faster than she ran in the CCS semifinals. Later she placed seventh in the 800 in 2:15.04, two seconds better than her trials time.
Leigh's 400 relay team of seniors Elijah Conten, Rahul Sirasao, Brian Galvin and Sean Cosentino placed fifth in 44.14.
Branham junior Raymond Ellis, the Santa Teresa Division champion in both throws, earned a sixth-place medal in the discus with a PR of 157-10. He placed ninth in the shot put final with 48-4.25, about two feet shy of his PR that he hit at the division finals.
Lincoln juniors Jose Pina and Jacob Hoekstra each placed in two events, but neither earned a medal with a top-6 finish.
Pina ran seventh in the 3,200 with 9:36.80 after going eighth in the 1,600 with 4:25.07. Hoekstra finished seventh in the 110 high hurdles with a time of 14.92, getting nosed out for the sixth place medal by Leland senior Jack Weeks in the same time. Later, Hoekstra was eighth in the 300 race, clocking 40.54.

The new director of Illinois� child-welfare agency pleaded guilty to stealing money from clients of a Chicago social-service agency 20 years ago, according to a published report.
The Chicago Sun-Times and WBEZ Radio reported Monday that Arthur Bishop faced a felony theft charge in 1995 when the Department of Family and Child Services hired him as a caseworker.
He was accused of stealing more than $9,000 from clients of the Bobby W. Wright Comprehensive Community Mental Health Center who thought Bishop was helping them get their driver�s licenses back after drunken driving convictions.
DCFS officials said the department wouldn�t have been allowed to consider the pending theft charge against Bishop when he was hired. Later that year, he pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor charge.
The 61-year-old Bishop was at DCFS until 2010, when he took over the Illinois Department of Juvenile Justice. Gov. Pat Quinn sent him to the DCFS helm last month.
Quinn has no second thoughts, spokeswoman Brooke Anderson said.
�The governor feels he has the right experience to lead this very difficult agency,� she said.
DCFS spokeswoman Karen Hawkins called it �inappropriate to raise decades-old issues that have long been resolved and have nothing to do with his performance as director.�
DCFS acknowledged in December that it had undercounted the number of child-abuse and neglect deaths following reports by the Sun-Times and WBEZ. It�s also been criticized for its money management. The attorney general sued businessman George Smith in December to recover millions of dollars of state grant money allegedly misspent by Smith, a friend of former DCFS director Erwin McEwen.
Bishop had been a substance-abuse counselor at the Wright center. According to a September 1993 arrest report, he received $9,262 from patients over 14 months and failed to turn over that money to the center.
Former Wright center director Lucy Lang-Chappell said Bishop created a �bogus� program for convicted drunken drivers and in exchange for money, gave the patients forms they believed would allow them to drive again. She said the center was not licensed for that work at the time. An insurance policy covered reimbursements of the money to patients.
At a 1994 court hearing, a lawyer said Bishop had given the money to the center, which Chappell denies.
Like the DCFS post, which pays $150,000, Bishop needed state Senate consent for his appointment in 2010 to the Juvenile Justice Department. He gave a written statement to the Senate at the time, claiming he was wrongly accused.
Bishop said he�d had a verbal disagreement with Chappell over policy and walked out of her office, then later learned she alleged he stole funds.
He said he made an �agonizing� decision to plead guilty to the misdemeanor to end the strain on his family.

You feel less distracted when a loose end is tied. Things heat up at the gym or art studio. LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Do not be discouraged if less comes from a conversation than you'd hoped. It may take a little time for the show to get on the road and progress to be made. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): You are eager to do what you can to promote a plan or proposal. Joining forces with an unlikely partner could be the decision that helps nudge things into motion.

Aquincum Museum
The visible ruins of the Aquincum Civil Town represent the excavated one third of the central settlement. The structure of the Aquincum Civil Town was greatly influenced by both the area's natural geography and its previous architectural history. The limes road running from north to south was a typical element in the town's layout since its very beginnings. The aquaeductus built along its western side was a similarly characteristic feature.
Irregularities in the line of the city wall, reinforced by bastilles on its western side, may be attributed to the network of drainage ditches and some buildings that were probably erected before the wall's construction. Gates interrupted the city wall where it intersected with the main streets. Excavations in the north, south and west could identify such gates. The oval amphitheatre, located outside the city wall to the north, was also a characteristic feature that defined the look of the city. As previously mentioned, ruins of the Quince Civil Town exhibited in the park around the museum, represent the excavated ca. one third of the settlement. The monuments visible today reflect the results of restoration work carried out between the early 1960's and the beginning of the 1970's.

Welcome back to our blog for endangered languages!
In this month's blog entry, we want to give you a small account of Nganasan, a Syberian language that is ranked by the UNESCO as severely endangered. Nganasan is spoken by a small population living on the Siberian Taymyr Peninsula in the Arctic Ocean. According to the 2002 census, only 505 people speak the language.
Nganasan belongs to the so-called Samoyed languages, which stem from the Uralic language family. The root 'Ngana' means 'true' or 'genuine', whereas 'Nganasan' (нганасаны) can be translated as 'man' and often these expressions are used together in ngano nganasan – 'genuine (our) man'.
Until the 1930s the Nganasans led a nomadic life, hunting or breeding reindeer and fishing. Due to their isolated location, the language did not have much contact with other languages (except for other Samoyed languages) until the second half of the 20th century, when they settled in multi-ethnic villages and the language started to decline.
Nganasans aged 40 or less, have only very fragmentary knowledge of Nganasan and Russian has become the first language for the younger generations. Nowadays, Russian words and phrases form part of Nganasan speech and a sudden switch of Nganasan to Russian, depending on the subject or partner, is very common in conversations.
Nganasan has never been a written language; however, in the 1990s, a Cyrillic-based alphabet was created and a small number of books of Nganasan folklore were published. Also since the 1990s, Nganasan has been taught in three schools of the main villages where Nganasans resettled during the second half of the last century.
Nganasan folklore is strongly rooted in story-telling and songs. We found this video to give you an impression of this beautiful Nganasan language and culture:
We hope you will enjoy watching this video as much as we did!

This may be common knowledge to those among us that are handy with XML (I'm not), but since I just uncovered this nice little trick I thought I'd pass it along either way. It is a very easy way to process a CSV string and turn it into multiple rows:
declare @idoc int -- the handle for the XML documentdeclare @csv varchar(8000) -- the CSV we are being passed
set @csv = '1,2,3,7,4,8,10' -- our list of CSV values
-- With a simple edit of the CSV string:
set @csv = ''
-- We can now do this:
EXEC sp_xml_preparedocument @idoc OUTPUT, @csv
-- And then:
SELECT *FROM OPENXML (@idoc, '/root/id',1) WITH (value int)
This raises some interesting possibilities about ways we can process regular text strings (like CSV's) by using simple replace techniques to turn that string into an XML value. It is certainly shorter that the usual looping technique to split a CSV string into each value and then insert that value into a temp table or a table variable. I'm not sure if it's more or less efficient, though.
Anyone else have any other nice tricks like this?

Environmental Technologies Export Market Plans
The Environmental Trade Working Group (ETWG) of the Trade Promotion Coordinating Committee (TPCC) identified a number of foreign markets in which enhanced U.S. government programs and services could support increased deployment of U.S. environmental solutions. Based on extensive examination of global markets for environmental goods and services, trade flows, and current policy initiatives, this report represents one in a series of Environmental Technologies Export Market Plans. These documents outline the environmental needs of key foreign markets and the U.S. government programs that will be utilized to support U.S. industry in addressing those needs.
On May 14, 2012, four cabinet-level U.S. government officials, Commerce Secretary Bryson, Environmental Protection Agency Administrator Jackson, U.S. Trade Representative Kirk, and Agriculture Secretary Vilsack, outlined a renewed U.S. government approach to fostering environmental exports. This Environmental Export Initiative leverages the expertise and resources of U.S. government agencies to support U.S. companies capable of exporting goods and services relevant to air pollution control, solid/hazardous waste management, and water/wastewater treatment. This project supports the goals of President Obama's National Export Initiative (NEI) and advances U.S. environmental protection, diplomatic and international development objectives.
The TPCC is composed of senior officials representing 20 U.S. government agencies, chaired by the Secretary of Commerce. Its purpose is to coordinate the export promotion and export financing activities of the U.S. government and to develop government-wide strategic plans for carrying out such programs. Agencies represented within the TPCC's ETWG developed and will implement the Environmental Export Initiative.

WADDY, Ky. — Twenty-five years ago, David Wilson commenced breeding a chicken meant to equal the finest birds grown in France.
In 1988, Wilson was selling squab to a restaurant in Louisville, Ky. Ed Garber owned that restaurant, and Garber had "a world view of food," Wilson says. "He had traveled the world several times, and he was aware of the very fine French chickens."
In France, chickens are sold under various government labels, which specify how the birds must be raised, fed and housed. There are dozens of labels, but the indisputable top of the heap is the poulet de Bresse, a chicken raised under exacting conditions in the Rhone-Alpes region of France.
What makes French chickens special? They are bred and fed for top flavor — "culinary quality," Wilson calls it — and not for efficiency, as American meat birds are. Everything about them from egg to table is studied to bring the biggest, best flavor to the diner.
Garber told Wilson to go to France. "That very first night, they took me to dinner at a relais (an informal roadhouse), and they had a wood-fired hearth," Wilson says. "They served me a chicken roasted on a spit over the fire, and I thought I'd died and gone to heaven."
Wilson's life had just changed.
Poultry particulars
To understand the difference between Wilson's chickens and most American chickens, we'll need a little background.
However they're raised, American meat birds are one of two basic crosses: the Cornish-Rock cross, a white bird, and the so-called Freedom Ranger, a red one. Both are bred to efficiently convert feed to meat; in the Cornish-Rock cross, the "feed conversion" is so efficient that it takes just a pound and half or less of feed to produce a pound of chicken. And they're ready to butcher in just 37 days.
"Folks have gotten so used to that baby chicken meat," Wilson says. "It lends itself well to artifice to introduce flavors" — he means marinades, sauces and so forth — "because it has none of its own. It doesn't lend itself to high-end cooking. A baby bird will never have much flavor."
The Freedom Ranger is a cross well-suited to pastured poultry production, but it's still a baby when butchered.
Made for the table
Today Wilson has the bird he wants, a French breed. Even before the egg is laid, it's a bird bred to eat well, an artisanal chicken raised with time-honored methods to increase its culinary quality.
"These are the ways that flavor arrives in chicken," Wilson says:
Start with genetics selected for high culinary quality and for "rusticity," or the ability of the chicken to thrive on its own, without special treatment. "It needs to be able to have enough strength to get up and go outside and run around and live like a chicken," he says.
Support those genetics with small flocks, low stress, ample room, sunshine and fresh air.
Let the bird grow slowly. "That 37-day bird is almost devoid of flavor. My birds grow to about 12 weeks, or 85 days," he says.
Feed an all-vegetable diet. Wilson's chickens get wheat, non-genetically modified corn, oats and rice, as well as distiller's dry mash — a perk of his Kentucky location. "I try to use grains that will help develop an interesting flavor profile," Wilson says.
Use a processor willing to deal with small producers, and be sure they air-chill the birds. "Air-chilling means the birds don't go through a chlorinated ice water bath to chill them," Wilson says. "That reduces cross contamination. And the USDA allows up to 7 percent water gain in processing. Do you want to pay chicken prices for water?"
You'll recognize one of Wilson's chickens because its skin will be very thin, with almost no fat — "thin skin is genetically linked to culinary quality," Wilson says. The bird will be longer and narrower than conventional chickens, with much longer drumsticks that have more meat — that's the result of the birds walking around and using those muscles, he says. Wings, too, will be bigger, "because they fly around," Wilson says.
At the table, you'll find a chicken that's deeply flavored, that "tastes like a chicken," as Wilson says.
Halfway between Louisville, known for bourbon and hot browns, and Lexington, known for fast horses and blue grasses, lives a rare bird indeed.
But whether that's David Wilson or his chicken is up to you to decide.
David Wilson's roast chicken
Prep: 10 minutes
Cook: 1 hour
Servings: 3 to 4
Note: This recipe is David Wilson's recommended method for roasting his chickens. The flavor of the birds is so good that a simple preparation is best.
1 chicken, 2 3/4 to 3 1/2 pounds
Olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt, or more as needed
Freshly ground pepper
1 medium lemon
A fistful of mixed fresh herbs (thyme, parsley, marjoram, rosemary)
1 clove garlic, smashed, peeled
1. Heat oven to 400 degrees. Rinse the chicken under cold running water; pat dry. Rub it all over with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Cut the lemon in half; squeeze the juice over the bird. Put the halves into the chicken's cavity. Add to the cavity the fresh herbs — they don't need to be chopped or anything. Add the garlic to the cavity.
2. Roast the bird in a pan on a rack, 1 hour. It should be done by then, its skin crisp and brown, but check if you like by jiggling the leg and piercing the breast with a fork. The chicken is done if the leg moves easily and the juices from the breast run clear. Let the chicken stand 20 minutes before carving.

Will there be a new version release for Linux any time soon? I think 4.1 was a huge success, and it filled a void in Linux, especially for me.
There are other options available for Linux, but this is by far the best there is! I would appreciate it if there was an new release (possibly a 4.3 for Linux?)

This tutorial describes how to quickly paint a rather nice looking eye in GIMP.
Being able to draw an eye might not sound like much, but this was what I first started learning when I began learning anatomy. Even today I can sit down and doodle an eye in my notepad when I'm bored by a lecture or something. If nothing else it's a lot cooler to doodle a proper human eye than to make some ugly stick figure with a laser gun ...
Also, it turns out that you can follow rather simple guidelines in order to make a standard, yet pretty good-looking eye. And once you learn it, it will help you a lot when drawing people -- because once you have the eyes down it's much easier to make the rest of the face. There is a full Portrait tutorial [here], but for this tutorial we stay small and fast and concentrate only on the eye. Other tutorial of mine you might want to check out if you are having trouble is my [Setting up GIMP for artistic work (Basic Airbrushing)] tutorial, or for that matter the [Beginning GIMP] tutorial if you are completely new.
This tutorial works perfectly to do with a mouse -- that's how I learned this once. A tablet works too of course, but you can definitely use the same technique using normal ink pen and paper -- that's actually great training since you cannot "undo".
Preparation and setup
You will need four tools in GIMP -- the ink pen, the airbrush, the smudge tool and the eraser. You should have [Resizeable brushes] set up properly. We will only use one brush, and that's the hard-edged, round one.
We will use one colour from the palette only -- black. If you need to add white, use the eraser to bring forward the background. We will work on one layer only -- a transparent layer on top of the white standard background.
It's strongly recommended that you learn the keyboard shortcuts for the various tools. You don't want to move the cursor away from the canvas more than nesessary.
- Ink pen (shortcut k) -- This you will use to make all outlines. For the sake of this tutorial the ink pen replaces the brush tool for all "opaque" painting (with full black). Set a 45 degree angled round tip, set size to 2.2 and the opacity to 80% .
For tablet users:The ink tool is a very versatile instrument when using a tablet. Set all sensitivities to 1.0 for the sake of this tutorial. If you have tilt sensitivity, make the pen tip a perfect circle instead -- angling the pen will create the fountain-pen effect anyway.
- Airbrush (shortcut a) -- This tool is used to create all shades in and around the eye. Note that you don't need to change the colour in the palette to create grey -- just let the opacity of the airbrush work for you. See the [Basic] and [Advanced] airbrushing tutorials on more info on this. Set the opacity of the airbrush to 20% (!), the rate to 80% and the pressure to 10%.
For tablet users: Set all sensitivities except colour. Use an opacity of 80% instead, remember to use a light hand to apply the strokes.
- Smudge tool (shortcut s) -- This tool works like pulling existing colour on the canvas, a little like dragging your finger in wet paint. It's essential in order to create smooth blending without using any filters. In order to achieve more subtle effects for this tool, you need to lower the effect of it. Set the opacity to 50% and the rate to 50 too. (no settings are different for tablet users)
- The eraser (shorcut Shift+E) -- This is a very important paint tool in its own right. You will use it to bring forward the white of the image. To make it more nuanced, set the opacity to 80%.
For tablet users: Set sensitivity to opacity, you will find the eraser becomes much more useful (although harder to handle) that way. Be ready to turn off this sensitivity now and then when you really want to erase something completely.
Work process (Youtube video, 5 minutes 7 seconds)
An idea is to pause the video repeatedly, to really see what's going on.
Link to fullsize video (5 minutes, 7 seconds)
Hopefully the video is self-explanatory, but here is a quick summary of the steps. Ask in this thread if something is unclear.
- Use the ink tool to sketch the basic structure of the eye. As you can see it's really a rather simple "cliché" eye that we start with.
- Place the highlights in the eye (you will find I relocate these later). Note how much black I put inside the eye, under the eyelid. This is important for the final effect.
- Use the airbrush to apply shades around the eyelids and also inside the eye. Use the opacity of the airbrush to get gradients.
- Use the smudge tool to blend the shades together into smooth gradients.
- Use the ink and eraser tool to reposition the highlights and adjust it.
- Smudge the black outlines lines into the shades using the smudge tool. Work in short strokes, along the ink lines, gradually angling off from them to smudge them gradually into the background.
- Finish off with final checks and adjustments with whatever tools fits best.
Hopefully trying this a few times will soon let you have the basic form down. It should make it easy for you to adjust the angles and corners of the eye to make it e.g. male (remove eyelashes) or asian (fold in inner corner of eye) or ... or whatever you want to make.
Of course, this is not a perfectly realistic eye, and it was not intended to be. This type of more simplified style works fine for most styles of character art, from concept art to comics (most comics are actually a lot simpler in style than this). But it is certainly not photo-realistic either. If you want super-realism you could easily build from this though, by refining it with finer lines, placing individual eye lashes, reducing the heavy mascara etc. The idea here is to get you going, how far you take it is up to you!
I'm looking forward to seeing people try this, it's really a quick doodle that you, with little training, can make look good. It also works very well to do with good old pen and paper.

Recently, Avi and David tracked down a surprising
All Size Exclusive Pleated Knitted Skirt Red Balenciaga Professional For Sale 9hxML
in Meteor's live HTML template rendering system. The fix will be in the 0.6.5 release (in its final stages of QA right now).
I searched the web for variations on and came up with nothing relevant, so it seemed like this is a relatively little-known issue in the JavaScript context. (Most of what you find for that query talks about the bad garbage collection algorithm in old versions of IE, but this problem affects even my current Chrome install!) I later found a great blog post on this subject by a V8 developer, but it still seems like most users of JavaScript don't know they have to watch out for this.
JavaScript is secretly a functional programming language, and its functions are : function objects get access to variables defined in their enclosing scope, even when that scope is finished. Local variables which are captured by a closure are garbage collected once the function they are defined in has finished and all functions defined inside their scope are themselves GCed.
Now, consider this code:
Every second, we'll execute the function. It replaces with a new object containing a newly allocated giant string, saving the original value of in the local variable . After it returns, the old value of can be garbage collected, including the long string inside it, since nothing remains that refers to it. So the memory used by this code is roughly constant: it does keep allocating big strings, but each time it can delete the previous big string.
But what if we had a closure that outlasted ?
The body of could theoretically refer to to , so shouldn't be retained for as long as the is alive? This would lead to boundless memory growth, since each version of would essentially hang on to a pointer to the previous version.
Fortunately, modern JavaScript implementations (including, say, the current V8 in Chrome and Node) are smart enough to notice that isn't used in the closure, so it's not put into 's lexical environment, and it's OK to GC the previous when finishes.
(But wait, you ask! What if somebody had earlier run , and so the seemingly innocuous line was actually ing some code that refers to ? Well, the JavaScript standard is one step ahead of you. If you use in a sneaky fashion like this (in any way other than by just calling it ), it's called an "indirect ", and it doesn't actually get to access the lexical environment! If, on the other hand, did contain a direct call to with that name, it could in fact access, and the JavaScript environment is forbidden from keeping out of the lexical environment and this would end up leaking.)
Well, great! JavaScript protects us from memory leaks, right? Well, let's try one more version, combining the first two examples.
Open up the Timeline tab in your Chrome Developer Tools, switch to the Memory view, and hit record:
Looks like we're using an extra megabyte every second! And even clicking the garbage can icon to force a manual GC doesn't help. So it looks like we are leaking .
But isn't this just the same situation as before? is only referenced in the main body of , and in . itself (which we never even run!) gets cleaned up once ends... the only thing from that escapes is the second closure, . And doesn't refer to at all!
So even though there's no way for any code to ever refer to again, it never gets garbage collected! Why? Well, the typical way that closures are implemented is that every function object has a link to a dictionary-style object representing its lexical scope. If both functions defined inside actually used , it would be important that they both get the same object, even if gets assigned to over and over, so both functions share the same lexical environment. Now, Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine is apparently smart enough to keep variables out of the lexical environment if they aren't used by closures: that's why the first example doesn't leak.
But as soon as a variable is used by closure, it ends up in the lexical environment shared by closures in that scope. And that can lead to memory leaks.
You could imagine a more clever implementation of lexical environments that avoids this problem. Each closure could have a dictionary containing only the variables which it actually reads and writes; the values in that dictionary would themselves be mutable cells that could be shared among the lexical environments of multiple closures. Based on my casual reading of the ECMAScript 5th Edition standard, this would be legitimate: its description of Lexical Environment describes them as being "purely specification mechanisms [which] need not correspond to any specific artefact of an ECMAScript implementation". That said, this standard doesn't actually contain the word "garbage" and only says the word "memory" once. (Here's a paper about this issue with an optimal implementation , though not in a JavaScript context. Some other language implementations do get this right, such as Go.)
Fixing memory leaks of this form, once you notice them, is straightforward, as demonstrated by
Amazon Sale Online Big Discount Sale Online Stella Mccartney Woman Printed Cottonjersey Tshirt Black Size 38 Stella McCartney Cheap Sale Best Store To Get Low Shipping Cheap Price High Quality For Sale HDRgq
. Just add to the end of . That way, even though the name is still in the lexical environment of , there won't be a link to the big old value.

From a quick cheer to a standing ovation, clap to show how much you enjoyed this story.
Epithelial cells sequestered virus We speculate that the increasing levels of p24 in the supernatant were the result of virus attachment to epithelial cells during the infection. To determine the amount of virus bound to Ect1 cells, we measured total p24 associated with Ect1 cells, after the cells were thoroughly washed following exposure to virus. To serve as a comparison, similar numbers of H9 cells were treated the same way. To control for possible viral replication in H9 cells, an aldrithiol-2 (AT-2)–inactivated RF virus was included in the analysis. AT-2 is a nucleocapsid protein zinc finger-targeting compound that inactivates the virus without affecting the viral surface proteins either conformationally or functionally [ 18 ]. In general, Ect1 cell lysates contained at least 10-fold more p24 than did H9 cells, on a per cell basis, as shown in figure 4A . We also analyzed the virus released from the Ect1 cells, compared with that released from HeLa CD4 − cells, a cervical-carcinoma epithelial cell line that forms monolayers in culture. HeLa cells were known to bind HIV independent of CD4 cells [ 19 ]Epithelial cells sequestered virus
Sequestration of virus by Ect1 cell monolayers. Ect1 cell monolayers or H9 cells were exposed to live or aldrithiol-2 (AT-2)–inactivated RF virus for 1 h at 37°C. The cells were washed thoroughly and were treated with trypsin, and the cells were lysed for measurement of p24. Monolayers of Ect1 or HeLa CD4 cells, at similar confluence, were exposed to RF virus. The cells were washed thoroughly, were refed medium or were treated with trypsin, washed, and recultured. Culture supernatants were collected 5 days after exposure to virus, and RNA copy was measured by real-time polymerase chain reaction. Each data point represents mean of replicate wells and the bars represents SEs

Real-time PCR analysis was performed to quantify the virus released from Ect1 and HeLa CD4 − cells that had been exposed to virus. To remove any viral particles nonspecifically associated with the cells, the monolayer was treated with trypsin and replated, and the released virus was measured. Ect1 cells released 23-fold more virus than did HeLa CD4 − cells, as shown in figure 4B . Even when Ect1 cells were treated with trypsin and replated, there was almost 3-fold more virus detected in Ect1 culture than in HeLa CD4 − cells that were not treated with trypsin. The observation indicated that Ect1 cells sequestered large amount of virus, even after thorough washing and treatment with trypsin

Stories like this one in the Washington Post tempt me to give up partisan blogging and devote my efforts to "La Comedie Humaine." Several House Democrats are complaining that when they visited Iraq this summer, military personnel had been given thumbnail biographies containing, among other things, their publicly expressed views about the situation in Iraq. In particular, the bios stated how the members had voted on legislation requiring the withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq within 120 days of the bill's enactment. They also contained a cross-section of the member's positions — e.g., "the year of 2006 must be a year of significant transistion in Iraq" (Rep. Ellen Tauscher) and "things have been getting worse rather than better" (Rep. James Moran).
Providing this sort of basic information in advance of the meeting seems perfectly legitimate — it's what we used to call "doing your homework." However, according to the Post Tauscher and Moran took strong objection. Tauscher called it "being slimed in the Green Zone."
How odd to characterize a recitation of one's key vote and statements on Iraq as "being slimed." If Tauscher's thinking on Iraq embarrasses her, perhaps she should rethink the subject.
But that's not the most amusing part of the story. That distinction belongs to this account of a meeting Tauscher, Moran and Republican Rep. Jon Porter had with Iraq's national security adverser, Mowaffak al-Rubaie. According to the Post:
the three were trying to discuss the state of Iraqi security forces with al-Rubaie, but the large, flat-panel television set facing the official proved to be a distraction. Rubaie was watching children's cartoons.
When Moran asked him to turn it off, Rubaie protested with a laugh and said, "But this is my favorite television show," Moran recalled.
Porter confirmed the incident, although he tried to paint the scene in the best light, noting that at least they had electricity.

Catherine Filene Shouse was born June 9, 1896, in Boston. Her grandfather, William Filene, was the founder of the Filene's department-store chain, and her father, Lincoln Filene, founded Federated Department Stores, according to The New York Times. In 1918, she graduated from Wheaton College, Norton, Mass., and earned a master's degree in education at Harvard University, Cambridge, Mass., in 1923.
In 1919, Shouse became the first woman appointed to the Democratic National Committee, and in the 1920s, she served under President Calvin Coolidge as chairwoman of the First Federal Prison for Women, where she established a job training and rehabilitation program.
During the 1940s, she became a dog breeder and started her own kennel at Wolf Trap Farm, a tract of land in Vienna, Va.
In 1949, she joined the National Symphony Orchestra's board and served as its vice president from 1951-68. In 1959, President Dwight D. Eisenhower appointed her to the first board of the National Cultural Center, now known as the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts; she was reappointed twice by President Richard M. Nixon.
Shouse always was devoted to the performing arts. In 1966, she donated 100 acres of Wolf Trap Farm to the U.S. Government to create the first and only national park dedicated to the performing arts. The park opened in 1971 and has featured some of the world's greatest performers.
When the main amphitheater burned to the ground in 1982, Shouse was the driving force behind creating a new theater—the 7,000-seat Filene Center, which opened in 1984.
During her life, Shouse also was made Dame Commander of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II; received the Presidential Medal of Freedom from President Gerald Ford; and was the first woman to receive the German Federal Republic's Commander's Cross of Merit, among other honors.
She died Dec. 14, 1994, at age 98, and is remembered by many as a visionary and philanthropist.

WORCESTER — Starting Monday, police officers in marked and unmarked cruisers will be checking to see if drivers are texting, perusing the Internet or engaging in any other type of distracted driving.
The department is launching "Operation Distracted Driver" in an effort to curb a trend police officials said sometimes has deadly consequences.
Officers will keep a close eye out for — and cite — distracted drivers over the next several weeks. Additionally, the department will use Facebook and Twitter to educate the public about distracted driving.
"This is something we are seeing more and more in the accidents we are investigating and we are getting more and more complaints from the public concerning this illegal driving behavior," Police Chief Gary J. Gemme said. "We are looking to change the driving habits of people to protect others on the road, the drivers themselves and pedestrians."
State police have also announced that through June 28 they are "redoubling" their efforts to combat distracted driving. Troopers will concentrate on drivers violating the state's ban on texting while driving, state police said in a news release. Marked and unmarked vehicles will be used.
"Massachusetts drivers should understand that this initiative is not focused on revenue enhancement. The goal of the operation is to educate the public, support the media campaign, and save lives," said Lt. Stephen Walsh, commander of the state police Andover barracks and the operational officer of the initiative. "Unfortunately, many motorists will not comply with the laws focused on distracted driving without the very real threat of penalties."
It is illegal in Massachusetts for anyone to compose, send or receive electronic messages or other data while driving. A $100 fine is issued for the first offense, and fines can go as high as $500 for repeat offenses.
Drivers under the age of 18 cannot use a mobile device.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that in 2012 more than 3,300 people were killed and roughly 421,000 injured in distracted driving crashes nationwide.
Changing people's behavior is a main goal of the Worcester police campaign. People are so attached to their mobile devices they find it hard to let go and concentrate on the road, Chief Gemme said.
Law enforcement has reduced drunken driving through similar campaigns.
Worcester police will be stationed at busy intersections throughout the city. Officers will use discretion when determining if a violation occurred, Chief Gemme said.
The department is reviewing whether cellphones can be seized as evidence of a violation. Chief Gemme said it shows how serious police are about the issue.
The department will use a blend of grant funding and some overtime money to pay for the new campaign.
Along with Worcester and state police, Worcester District Attorney Joseph D. Early Jr. continues to give speeches at area schools on the dangers of distracted driving.
"I will not text and drive," Chief Gemme said. "I very rarely answer the phone while driving. The phenomenon has really engulfed society. People really don't want to be detached from their devices."
Texting takes drivers' eyes off the road, causing visual, manual and cognitive distractions, Worcester police said in a news release. It is not uncommon to see a car swerving because the driver is text-messaging, officials said.
Police say they really hope the enforcement action pushes people to change behaviors.
"Over the long term if people don't, the roads are going to be much more dangerous than they are today," Chief Gemme said.

Here are a variety of pictures from Mtbr's recent tour of the Trek Factory. Although we were disappointed at the last minute decision to not allow us to take photos of the actual fabrication of their carbon road and mountain bikes, we were still stoked to see the inner workings of such an innovative, iconic brand such as Trek.
Trek HQ is located in a small town (pop: 3,000) called Waterloo, which is about a 45 minute drive from the Wisconsin state capitol of Madison. There are approximately 800 employees at this campus.
The Lobby has a very impressive display of Trek history:
The Entryway has a few of Lance's bikes along the right side and a few choice mountain bikes along the left.
Gary Fisher's original Klunker from 1974 – Mountain biking begins. This bike is the only one in the entryway that requires 3 struts to hold it up! Even compared to all of Lance's TdF bikes on the opposite wall, Gary's Klunker is the most valuable bike here. The placard reads:
"Mountain biking begins
Gary Fisher wasn't plotting a revolution. He just wanted a bike he could ride off-road, away from "cops, cars, and concrete." But when he and a few like-minded rebels started grafting gears and moto parts onto a burly pre-WWII singlespeed cruisers, they forever changed the biking world. Their death-defying runs down Mount Tamalpais paved (or unpaved) the way for a whole new genre of biking – and now we couldn't imagine life without it."

These are not genea-blogs so I wanted to post these in a separate place than Denise Olson's challenge below. As I've stated, most of my ancestors are from New York State beginning in the 1660s in the Albany and Schenectady area, then down to Kingston, Marbletown and Stone Ridge in Ulster County around the late 1600s - early 1700s, and in the Adirondack Region of Lewis, Saint Lawrence and Jefferson counties beginning in the mid 1800s.
These are several resources on the Internet that I frequent almost daily in performing my research:
New York Counties Selection List, NYGENWEB
Not only does this present a great map of New York by county, it also lists the dates on which the county was formed. Very often I am entering Schenectady, Albany, New York when I should be entering Schenectady, Schenectady, New York. The county list allows me to quickly see which counties were formed from other counties and when.
The People of Colonial Albany Live Here
One of my favorite sites especially for the biographical sketches of some of my oldest ancestors such as Arent Andriesse Bradt who is my 10th great-grandfather. Besides biographies, there are pages on various locations in the Capital District as well as transcribed wills of close to 100 early Albany settlers.
Schenectady Digital History Archive
A service of the Schenectady County Public Library, if you have any New York Dutch ancestors you will most likely need this website. Most important to me are the major works such as Contributions for the Genealogies of the Descendants of the First Settlers of the Patent and City of Schenectady, from 1662 to 1800 by Jonathan Pearson and Hudson-Mohawk Genealogical and Family Memoirs.
Northern New York Historical Newspapers
A great resource for many newspapers from Watertown, Lowville, Plattsburgh and most of the Adirondack Region. I use this for birth and death announcements and those little snippets of "who visited who" which nowadays seem like gossip but were vital communications back then.
During this month of January I will be adding more resources for New York research over on the sidebar.

Seasoned Leader in Cardiology Joins as Director Replacing William Peters
Seasoned Leader in Cardiology Joins as Director Replacing William Peters
EDEN PRAIRIE, MN and SYDNEY, AUSTRALIA--(Marketwire - Jan 30, 2013) - Sunshine Heart, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSH) (ASX: SHC) today announced that Warren Watson has been appointed to the Company's Board of Directors. Mr. Watson replaces William Peters, MD, who steps down from the Board but continues on as Chief Technical Officer of Sunshine Heart. Both changes are effective immediately.
Mr. Watson brings over 35 years of experience in medical devices to Sunshine Heart, including 33 years at Medtronic, Inc., where he served in various roles of increasing responsibility spanning technical management, clinical and regulatory processes, business development, strategic marketing, and general management. Notably, he spent eight years as VP of Research and Development for the Cardiac Rhythm Management business. In addition to corporate officer roles, Mr. Watson has served on the Board of Directors of several U.S. cardiology companies. He was a member of the Board of California-based cardiology company, Cameron Health, which was bought by Boston Scientific in 2012. He currently serves on the Board of Cardialen, Inc. and Cardia Access, both Minneapolis-based early stage medical device companies.
"We are thrilled to welcome Warren to our Board," said John Erb, Chairman of Sunshine Heart's Board of Directors. "Warren's exceptional tenure at Medtronic will be a significant asset to our company. His experience guiding medical technology companies comes at a key time for Sunshine Heart, as we continue to progress our proprietary C-Pulse Heart Assist System through the U.S. regulatory process into pivotal trials, and initiate European post-market studies toward a European commercial launch."
"Will Peters has been nothing short of instrumental to the growth and success of Sunshine Heart since co-founding the company in 1999," said Dave Rosa, CEO of Sunshine Heart. "We thank him for his service on our Board and look forward to his continued contributions as a corporate officer."
The addition of a new U.S. Board member furthers Sunshine Heart's corporate transition to becoming a U.S.-centric company. In tandem with this release, Sunshine Heart announced yesterday its intention to de-list from the ASX during the first half of calendar 2013. This follows its February, 2012 listing on NASDAQ.
About Sunshine® Heart
Sunshine Heart, Inc. (NASDAQ: SSH) (ASX: SHC) is an early-stage global medical device company committed to the commercialization of the C-Pulse System, an implantable, non-blood contacting, heart assist therapy for the treatment of moderate to severe heart failure. The C-Pulse System can be implanted using a minimally invasive procedure and is designed to relieve the symptoms of heart failure through the use of counter-pulsation technology, which enables an increase in cardiac output, an increase in coronary blood flow and a reduction in the heart's pumping load. Sunshine Heart has completed an approved U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) feasibility clinical trial of the C-Pulse System and presented the results in November 2011. In March, 2012, the FDA notified the Company that it could move forward with an investigational device exemption (IDE) application. Sunshine Heart received unconditional approval from the FDA in November 2012 to initiate its pivotal trial. In July 2012, Sunshine Heart received CE Mark approval for its C-Pulse System in Europe. Sunshine Heart is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Minneapolis with a subsidiary presence in Australia. The Company has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) since September 2004 and on the NASDAQ Capital Market since February 2012.

"People will believe in a confession in spite of overwhelming contrary evidence," says Jim Trainum, a retired detective from the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department with nearly 30 years of experience interrogating suspects.
Invited to speak to students on Feb. 13 by the Innocence Project chapter at the Columbus School of Law, Trainum stressed that because jurors are inclined to accept confessions, even if they don't stand up to logic and reasoning, it's vitally important that they actually be true.
A surprising number aren't. Whether due to nervousness, police pressure in the interrogation room, or any number of subtle psychological and sociological factors, some suspects will spill out stories that are damning to their freedom but have little or no basis in what actually happened.
An estimated 25 percent of exonerations involve false confessions, "and in most cases, you don't see them," Trainum noted. Research reveals that false confessors mostly commonly lie about evidence.
Contrary to what TV shows depict, the majority of interrogations are not taped. Some jurisdictions even permit detectives to destroy their notes after a questioning.
"How do we really know what's going on in that interrogation room?" Trainum asked.
The nine-step "Reid Technique," widely used in law enforcement, is designed to help interrogators elicit reliable accounts of a crime that will hold up in court. Its inventors claim the technique is 80 to 90 percent accurate.
Trainum doesn't buy it and assured the Innocence Project students that the real reliability rate is closer to 50 percent.
"Trained personnel are usually more confident in their results than is justified," he said."The detective is convinced the person is guilty and it's all downhill from there."

Candidate For Colorado Legislature Proudly Abuses YouTube's Copyright Complaint System To Kill Account Of Activists Who Mocked Him
from the probably-best-not-to-celebrate-your-abuse-of-the-process dept
In part, he argues that the videos are infringing (actually, he argues "plagiarism" which is different than copyright infringing, and the videos are actually neither), but he also focuses on the YouTube comments on those videos. Klingenschmitt claimed that the YouTube comments amounted to "death threats" from RWW's followers -- though, they're pretty standard crazy YouTube comments, not serious death threats. Also, since the comments are not made by RWW, but viewers on YouTube, RWW is not liable for them. However, he kept sending takedowns, and eventually YouTube terminated RWW's account, arguing that it was their third strike.
In response to this abuse of YouTube's takedown policy, Klingenschmitt released a press release congratulating himself, saying "David takes down Goliath." Tim Murphy, from Mother Jones, asked Klingenschmitt if he felt he should be held similarly responsible for the YouTube comments on his own videos, and Klingenschmitt said that if the user is alerted to comments and don't take action, they become responsible, which is actually not what the law says.
Either way, this appears to be another case where copyright claims are being used to censor content that someone doesn't like. And, given that it's in the context of a political campaign for office, that's especially concerning. Stifling criticism of a political candidate by abusing the law should be seen as a huge problem. Hopefully YouTube acts quickly to restore RWW's account. Whether you agree with RWW or not, hopefully you can agree that (1) they should be allowed to post fair use video and criticize politicians they disagree with and (2) they should not be held accountable for comments made by YouTube viewers.

'Brooklyn Nine-Nine' Star Terry Crews Says Male 'High Level Hollywood Exec' Groped Him
In the wake of the Harvey Weinstein scandal, actor Terry Crews, who stars on the Fox comedy "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," took to social media Tuesday to recount his own experience with sexual assault in Hollywood.
In a series of tweets, Crews, 49, explained he wanted his fans to know that Weinstein "is not the only perpetrator."
"This whole thing with Harvey Weinstein is giving me PTSD. Why? Because this kind of thing happened to ME...," he wrote. "My wife n I were at a Hollywood function last year, and a high-level Hollywood executive came over 2 me and groped my privates."
"Jumping back I said What are you doing?! My wife saw everything n we looked at him like he was crazy. He just grinned like a jerk," Crews added, tweeting that he didn't "kick his ass" because of how the media would spin the story.
"'240 lbs. Black Man stomps out Hollywood Honcho' would be the headline the next day," he wrote.
He said he spoke with other people who worked with the unnamed exec and that the following day, he apologized to Crews. But it was "never really explained why he did what he did," the actor added.
"I let it go. And I understand why many women who this happens to let it go," he wrote. "Who's going 2 believe you? (few) What r the repercussions?(many) Do u want 2 work again? (Yes) R you prepared 2b ostracized?(No)."
Crews concluded:
"I understand and empathize with those who have remained silent. But Harvey Weinstein is not the only perpetrator. Hollywood is not the only business where this happens, and to the casualties of this behavior -- you are not alone. Hopefully, me coming forward with my story will deter a predator and encourage someone who feels hopeless."
Crews made headlines last year when he spoke out about being addicted to porn in a series of confessional videos.

4 games in SEC play go to overtime on same day, the first time it's happened since 1979
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
They were working overtime in the SEC on Saturday.
Four Southeastern Conference basketball games went past regulation, the first time it happened in the league in 34 years.
The longest game was between Tennessee and Texas A&M, which ended after four overtimes with the Volunteers claiming a 93-85 victory over the Aggies. The Vols had never before played a four-OT game.
The Aggies and Vols came up one extra period short of the longest game men's game this season. Notre Dame beat Louisville 104-101 in five overtimes on Feb. 9.
LSU needed three overtimes to dispatch Alabama 97-94, while Georgia beat South Carolina 62-53, and Kentucky edged Missouri 90-83 in one OT.
The last time four SEC games went OT was Feb. 10, 1979, according to the Elias Sports Bureau.

MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — In a story Dec. 8 about a security summit in Bahrain, The Associated Press reported erroneously that Saudi Arabia's Deputy Foreign Minister Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah said in a speech that Gulf states should quash any Arab Spring-inspired unrest. Prince Abdulaziz said, "Tampering with the stability and security of any Gulf Arab state is considered as tampering with the security and stability of all other Gulf Arab states" and his remarks did not mention any specific type of instability or threat.
A corrected version of the story is below:
US envoys say no 'pivot' away from Mideast
US envoys at Mideast security summit: No 'pivot' from Washington role in region
By REEM KHALIFA
Associated Press
MANAMA, Bahrain (AP) — American envoys challenged assertions Saturday that Washington seeks to diminish its role in Middle East affairs, insisting U.S. political ties and energy needs bind the country closely to a region full of "threat and promise."
The defensive tone by U.S. officials, in response to questions raised at an international security summit in Bahrain, reflects growing speculation about a possible U.S. policy realignment toward Asia at the expense of Mideast initiatives.
Gulf Arab states, in particular, have urged the Obama administration to take stronger action on Syria, where Saudi Arabia and Qatar seek to open channels to send heavy weapons to rebel forces fighting to oust Syrian President Bashar Assad. The White House has favored a more cautious approach with the Syrian opposition, worried that hard-line Islamist rebel factions could be aided by stepped up arms flow.
"The idea that the U.S. can pivot away from the Middle East is the height of foolishness," Sen. John McCain said at the Bahrain gathering, which brings policymakers and political figures from around the world including Iran and the Syrian opposition.
The Arizona Republican, the ranking member on the Senate Armed Services Committee, also said he believes there is a "steady increase" in fighters inspired by al-Qaida joining the rebel side in Syria's civil war.
The comments follow a diplomatic flap after Bahrain's crown prince did not mention the U.S. at the opening of the conference Friday as he listed critical allies in the kingdom's 22-month battle against an Arab Spring-inspired uprising. Bahrain is home to the U.S. Navy's 5th Fleet, which is the Pentagon's main counterweight in the region against Iran's military.
Many at the conference interpreted the crown prince's omission as a public slap against Washington for its criticism of Bahrain's crackdowns, including recent action such as banning opposition rallies and revoking citizenship for 31 activists.
More than 55 people have died in the unrest as the island nation's Shiite majority pushes for a greater political voice in the Sunni-ruled kingdom.
The head of the U.S. delegation, Deputy Secretary of State William Burns, said Washington's foreign policy objectives clearly include the "dynamic" rise of Asian economic and political power and "domestic renewal" to compete in the changing world economy.
"For all the logical focus on pivots in other directions, however, the fact remains that the United States cannot afford to neglect what's at stake in the Middle East," he said.
He credited Bahrain's leadership for some reforms aimed at easing the tensions, including giving more powers to the elected parliament. But he noted "there is still a long road ahead" in following through with recommendations by an independent fact-finding committee last year that included calls for investigation into allegations of high-level abuses against protesters.
The main Bahrain Shiite opposition group, Al Wefaq, said Saturday that it was open to the crown prince's offer for dialogue, but it was unclear whether any breakthroughs were possible. Past overtures have failed to gain traction.
Burns also said Middle Eastern oil remains crucial for the world economy despite projections of a sharp rise in U.S. crude output in coming years from techniques such as extracting oil from shale.
Burns, however, pointed out that other nations need to help chart the course in the region following the Arab Spring — suggesting no major unilateral push by Washington over Syria or other simmering disputes such as Iran's nuclear program.
"It is important for Americans, self-absorbed as we sometimes are, to understand that the Middle East is not all about us ... But if it's not about us, the future of the region certainly matters a great deal to us," he told the conference. "It's a region today that is full of both threat and promise."
Earlier, Prince Abdulaziz bin Abdullah, the Saudi deputy foreign minister, told the conference that "tampering with the stability and security of any Gulf Arab state is considered as tampering with the security and stability of all other Gulf Arab states."
He described the "security and destiny" of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council as "one and may not be divided." The GCC includes Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Bahrain, Qatar, Oman and the United Arab Emirates.
Leaders of the six-nation Gulf Cooperation Council plan to meet later this month in Bahrain with issues such as closer intelligence and security coordination on the agenda.

RE[3]: I'm angry
by sithlord2 on Fri 7th Oct 2011 09:19 UTC in reply to "RE[2]: I'm angry"
"I agree with you about anger over it, but the unfortunate truth is that cancer as a whole can never be completely eradicated. Cancer is a mutation of cells, and you cannot stop mutations.
But you can theoretically alter the rate of mutation and its malignant effects. "
Yes, and that's where the future of cancer-research, according to a cancer researcher I talked to once. There is more focus to find out how they can stop the growth and spread of tumors. While this is not a cure, it will give people with a very vicious cancer a normal life expectancy.
