Several insightful comments came from the panelists at AMM's Scrap Conference in November. One in particular sparked my interest. It was the suggestion that scrap processors and others are driven to consolidate because major manufacturing companies—industrial scrap generators—want to deal with a single processor who will handle all the scrap metal from their production plants.
Scrap processors have the distinct experience of serving two customers—the steel mills and smelters that buy and melt scrap, and the manufacturers that generate scrap as by-products. The auto industry's factory bundles are perhaps the best example of scrap generators—some stamping plants produce as much as 15,000 tons of baled steel scrap a month. At $300-plus per ton, those bundles are not waste—it's another product line for auto companies. It may not be as profitable as a Cadillac Escalade or even a Toyota Camry, but selling it wisely can offset some of the costs of production.
All of the nation's auto manufacturers aren't the size of General Motors Corp. Many are smaller, but they still generate enough scrap to make it worthwhile to recover. Scrapyards often were founded by individuals who had enough entrepreneurial spirit to believe they could make a buck or two from the material. They were—and many still remain—local businesses. Expansion often was achieved by opening a feeder yard in the next town, collecting scrap there and hauling it to the main yard to be baled or sheared. Scrap dealers and processors often refer to these small manufacturers and scrap peddlers as their customers, and they have been chided by steelmakers and some in their own ranks for not seeing steel mills and nonferrous metal smelters—companies that buy prepared scrap—as their customers.
That's not the way the game has been played, though, according to many seasoned scrap traders. Money is made on the buying side, not the selling side. Whether it's a bid for auto bundles or a contract based on a published price, the margins often are set at the buying point in the cycle. That's why some dealers are willing to hold scrap—laying it down in their yards—instead of selling it in a declining market and losing money.
That rule, and that game, are changing. Even before steel scrap prices reached the record levels seen in 2004, manufacturing companies, utilities and others with substantial capital assets were looking to maximize the return on their investments, even when they were discarding them. It is no longer just an annoying, additional task for someone in the purchasing department to handle. Some companies employ managers whose sole task is to make sure they get the best prices for production scrap or a plant that is to be demolished. GM, for example, aptly named it workers in this unit "the Scrap Team."
At the same time, the pool of much-needed industrial scrap has been steadily dwindling. Many manufacturers that supply components and parts to GM or Whirlpool Corp. have relocated to other shores where labor and other costs are lower. But they don't ship the scrap back here with the parts.
At the same time, the steel industry is changing. Thin-slab casting technology has opened the gates of the flat-rolled sheet market to mini-mills. Twenty years ago, many integrated steelmakers were content to cede lower-margin products like reinforcing bar to the mini-mills. They still had the sheet market, and nobody could take that away. Right? The late Kenneth Iverson and his team of can-do managers at Nucor Corp. helped shatter that self-assurance.
The largest scrap players have accepted the change ushered-in by the rise of the flat-rolled mini-mill and are doing more than just "dealing with it." For instance, they can collect all the steel scrap from one large steel service center's plants to offer to steel mills and foundries. At the same time, the service center has a benchmark to gauge the value recovered for its scrap regardless of its location.
To be sure, there are many other factors driving the scrap industry's consolidation trend. Scrap processors' desires to attain a financial footing that matched the nation's steelmakers is another. Others may be selling out because they need an exit strategy—an aging owner, for example, with no one in the family interested in taking over the business.
Regardless, control of what is steadily becoming a scarce commodity could be the main reason why in five years—or maybe in just two—we'll see fewer but larger players in the scrap game.
Finally, on a more personal note, a doctor's order prohibited me from traveling to AMM's Scrap Conference in Scottsdale, Ariz. Fortunately, my co-workers brought home full reports, keeping me well informed of all the insights offered by our conference speakers.
Before I sign off, I want to take a minute to correct two mis-statements in our December edition. In last month's column, the reason cited for TJN Enterprises' withdrawal of its plans to expand operations in Sioux Falls, S.D., was incorrect. TJN shelved the plans because its option to buy 32 acres of land near the municipal airport had expired, not because of any inaction by city officials. It seems my arithmetic didn't add up, either. OmniSource Corp. processes 800 million pounds of nonferrous scrap metal a year, not the figure cited in November's Month In Metals section.

If you've already become passionate about Greek, then you will make great progress: once you start reading actual lines from the Iliad it will become an addiction. Personally, I've found that Homer is one of the easier things to read. I think that is partly because it is what I most wanted to read, but also I think that the unity of the hexameter lines makes a convienent chunk of text that doesn't look so daunting as a big paragraph. You will find that many lines have a complete sense to them, and when it does run over, it is usually to the beginning of the next line, and rarely do you have to anticipate grammatical points over several lines. Plus there are the repeated epic formulas, which are sometimes entire lines, and make you feel like you're moving along really fast.
If you find that using two books at once actually makes things easier and speeds your progress, then I suppose you should stick with what works. But I know that William Annis, whose opinion is worth a great deal, recommends that you stick with one introductory book all the way through, rather than switching back and forth between books.
Once you get more advanced, you should see if you can find Chantraine's Homeric Grammar in a library. I think his explanations for the most part are very clear and simple, and I don't even read French very well.
Best of luck, N.

Few organizations have been as embattled as the Ardmore Development Authority in recent months as one issue after another has kept it in the headlines. Citizens who have concerns regarding the practices of the authority will have the opportunity to voice those issues with Gary Jones, Oklahoma State Auditor, and representatives from his office Thursday.
A town hall meeting has been scheduled at 2 p.m., in the Santa Fe Station Depot. The meeting was requested by the ADA in an effort to allow citizens to have a voice regarding a possible state audit. Prior to the town hall meeting, Jones and his staff members will meet with members of the ADA and city commission.
"It became very clear through multiple discussions that we cannot navigate the next era of progress without a pause to listen to concerns various individuals have raised," Brian Carter, Interim President & CEO, ADA, said. "Public confidence in the ADA is crucial in order to accomplish our mission. We will read carefully the state auditor's report and then consider prudent next steps."
Carter requested the visit from the auditor's office Tuesday, one day after the ADA Board of Trustees voted to pursue the services of Watkins and Associates for an audit that is limited in scope. During the meeting, J.D. Spohn, Ardmore City Manager, addressed the trustees and relayed concerns given to him in a meeting with four citizens regarding the need for a state audit.
Carter said he and Mita Bates were informed of Spohn's meeting April 12 and was told the citizens would actively resist a sales tax renewal until an audit was conducted. A sales tax renewal to fund the ADA was one of two GAPS proposals defeated during the Nov. 6 general election. The other proposal was a property tax that would have benefited the University Center of Southern Oklahoma as well as a new facility for the YMCA or another health and fitness entity.
Carter said within 30 minutes of being informed of the concerns, the ADA contacted the state auditor's office to garner information about how a state audit is requested and the steps in the process. The office informed the ADA the first step would include an opportunity to speak to both city leadership and board members and also a meeting to hear concerns from the citizens. The option of meeting with the state auditor's office and engaging Watkins and Associates to perform the succession audit in view of the leadership changeover was discussed. The board voted unanimously for the succession audit.
"Citizens who cannot attend in person can submit their concerns in writing via other citizens or can send them directly to the state auditor's office," Carter said.
The town hall meeting is unique in that it rarely happens under Jones' leadership.
"This will be the second one, although there have been some informal ones," Jones said. "That happens quite often. The first town hall meeting was in Cordell."
Jones said the informal meetings have helped communities resolve the differences without resorting to the audit.
"We made some suggestions, that they try some things before the clock began running on their audit," Jones said. "We want to do what is in their best interests. If we can help resolve without costing the citizens the anguish, cost or time of an audit, that's good.
"What we generally do, we narrow it down to the issues at hand. Some issues, they might want looked at."
Following the meetings with ADA and city officials as well as the citizens, the state auditor's office will develop a summary. Upon reception of the summary, it would be up to either the ADA or city to determine if a state audit is warranted.
"The summary report of concerns will serve as the basis of a decision about whether to spend the time or money on an audit," Carter said. "The ultimate goal is to stop talking about the past and be able to focus on the future. Because there are serious concerns about the past, we need to pause to listen and take action as is prudent."

Man in rape case also charged with assault in connection with HIV status
Posted on 15 Jul 2010 at 9:23pm
Tumbwe, former minister with Potter's House, claims sex was consensual; 2 other women say defendant didn't reveal his status and gave them HIV
DAVID TAFFET | Staff Writer email@example.com
Nathaniel Tumbwe is on trial in Dallas for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. The weapon is his penis and his bodily fluids are the bullets because he has AIDS, herpes and genital warts.
According to testimony in Tumbwe's criminal trial, Tumbwe made repeated advances to Carolyn Hudson, which she refused. In October 2008, she reported to police that he raped her in her house. She said she invited him to her home twice to discuss religion and on that second visit he raped her.
Weeks later she learned he had AIDS.
The defense claimed that Hudson simply regrets having had a relationship with Tumbwe.
Hudson is a receptionist at Potters House, a megachurch in Southwest Dallas. Tumbwe refers to himself as a reverend who was affiliated with the church at the time.
Hudson has tested negative for HIV. Two other women who contracted the virus after unprotected sex with Tumbwe will testify at the punishment phase of the trial if he is convicted.
Ken Upton, staff attorney for Lambda Legal in Dallas, said that calling the penis a weapon is unusual.
He said that Lambda Legal has filed briefs in cases where police charged someone with assault when a person with HIV that was being arrested spit on the officer. Since that is not a method of transmission and spitting is not normally seen as assault, the courts dismissed the charges.
In a 2009 case in Michigan, a man with HIV arrested for assault was also charged with bioterrorism after biting his victim. Lambda Legal filed a brief in the matter.
"This charge leads to public misunderstanding of how HIV is transmitted, contributes to stigmatizing people with HIV and undermines important public health goals," Lambda Legal attorneys wrote in their brief.
In June 2010, the bioterrorism charge was dismissed.
But Upton warned about having unprotected sex or not revealing one's HIV status to a sexual partner.
"Knowingly having unprotected, nonconsensual sex puts it in a different category," Upton said.
He said in Texas it would at least be a good argument for battery.
Why Dallas prosecutors would go for the assault with a deadly weapon charge, however, when rape has severe penalties, Upton said he could only speculate. He thought they might have added the charge in order to get a plea bargain. Once the case went to trail, he suggested it might have been to further bias the jury against the defendant or simply add charges.
Jamille Bradfield is the public information officer for the Dallas County district attorney's office. She said she could not comment on the case because the trial is ongoing.
The charge has worked in North Texas before.
In 2009, a Frisco man was convicted of six counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon - his bodily fluids - because he was HIV positive. Ten women who seroconverted after having sex with him testified for the prosecution. The sex was apparently consensual. No rape was charged.
That case was the first in which DNA testing showed that the defendant was the source of the infection. He was sentenced to 45 years in prison.
In March, a Houston man was charged with having unprotected sex with a minor. The charges were upgraded to aggravated sexual assault when police learned that he was aware of his HIV positive status.
Enhancing the charges when HIV is involved is becoming more common according to The Center for HIV Law & Policy. They list about 60 current or recent cases across the country. Charges range from spitting and knowingly spreading infectious disease to assault with intent to kill.
The cases involving sex, rather than spitting or biting, all appear to involve heterosexuals.
The organization calls penalties for crimes involving persons with HIV "draconian," with up to 25 years in prison even when no transmission occurred.
In the Tumbwe case, there was apparently no infection in the case of the rape victim. Hudson has not tested positive for HIV but is being told that she needs to retest once a year for 10 years.
Bret Camp, associate executive director for health and medical services at Resource Center Dallas, said that was ridiculous and unnecessary.
"Technology has advanced," Camp said. "HIV RNA testing is now available at Nelson Tebedo Clinic through a partnership with Dallas County. It detects HIV in seven to 10 days after an exposure."
He said for peace of mind, he'd recommend a follow-up at 60 days, but called even that medically unnecessary. He said he knows of no cases where someone suddenly tested positive years after exposure.
David Clohessy, national director of the Survivors Network of those Abused by Priests, has been following the Tumbwe trial and said the case is of particular interest because of the trust people place in other people involved in their church.
He said that prosecuting crimes involving churches are particularly difficult.
"Often people associated with a church are reluctant to speak up," Clohessy said. "By cooperating with law enforcement, churchgoers are strengthening their congregations and making them healthier communities."
And many churches are reluctant to discuss HIV prevention. By going public, Hudson may have helped open the discussion of several topics at the church including HIV testing and revealing status to partners as well as sexual abuse by church elders.
At press time, the trial was still in progress. Tumbwe faces 20 years in prison if convicted.

I was checking out a new-to-me blogging platform, Ownzee. I wanted something that gave me more flexibility in terms of layout. Ownzee offers that. But, that's about where the usefulness of the platform ends for me. The WYSIWYG editor is phenomenal, but at this point, it just won't do what I need it to do.
The cool things about Ownzee:
- Super easy to create any layout you want. Overlay pictures, move text boxes around, create layouts like you would in Illustrator.
- Easy-to-use web editor. There are only a few buttons you can push. It's pretty straight forward.
- Multiple fonts available. Block out a quote, make a cool headline. Attractive looking pages are pretty easy.
The drawbacks of Ownzee:
- Hosting only on their website. You can mask a domain name, but there's no linking to specific posts if you do this.
- No custom themes or ability to create static pages. If you're looking for an ongoing blog, it works. But, if you'd like to create an "about us" page, contact form, etc… it's currently lacking in this platform.
- No integration of social networking plugins. Want your twitter feed in there? I don't think it's possible at this point.
- No ability to save drafts. I'm one to blog within the window I'm in, save the draft, read in the morning and then hit publish. There's no drafts allowed with Ownzee. Once you're done, you've got to publish your post right then and there.
Check it out if you want, I've got a couple of posts up on a blog I was trying out. I think they'll be moving over to a new platform relatively quickly. At least it's only costing me $5/mo.

'Silly-SMP' is a project to determine "What are the minimal changes needed to AROS to support 'full' SMP? Is it even possible?"
This is Research with a capital 'R'.
But that '25% of the time' _does_ show that a full SMP system on AROS is possible.
This is quite a big deal for the Amiga world - and proves that, in my view, AROS has more of a future than AmigaOS will ever have: it's portable, and it's open source, so experiments like this are more likely to happen.

Jean Carzou, 1907-2000
Internationally renowned artist Jean Carzou, whose works graced the novels of literary giants like Ernest Hemmingway, adorned Paris opera houses and captured the passion of saints on chapel walls, died August 12, 2000 in Perigeaux, France. Carzou, who was a member of France's Academie des Beaux-arts and decorated with the National Order of Merit was 97 years old.
Born Karnik Zouloumian on January 1st, 1907 in Syria to an Armenian family, Carzou later created his name from the first syllables of his name and surname. Becoming a world traveler at an early age, Carzou was educated in Cairo Egypt before moving to Paris in 1924 at the age of 17 to study art and architecture in earnest.
Despite changing his name to the more Parisian moniker "Jean Carzou", the artist remained close ties to his Armenian heritage, and was ever mindful of his people's all-to-frequent political struggles and sufferings. Politics ultimately became one of the young artist's first means of support, when he abandoned the pursuit of architecture for the fine arts, and resorted to working as a street artist, doing caricatures and portraits to support him ...(PLease Login to see the complete biography.)

Climate Change Circle of Consequences
Global warming is an important issue on the world's environmental agenda. Human activities are altering Earth's atmosphere, with potential worldwide consequences. This activity will help students think about the interconnections between climate change and its impact around the world.
Students will:
- use their reasoning and interpretation skills to think about and identify many of the interconnections and consequences of climate change
- paper
- pencils
Draw a circle on a large piece of paper or on the board. In the center of the circle write "World Temperatures Rise." Based on their experience in the Climate Change exhibition, ask students to think of as many direct probable consequences as they can. After the class agrees that a suggestion is indeed a direct consequence, draw a line out from the original circle, connect another circle to the line, and write the consequence in the circle. Continue thinking about and adding consequences to the "Circles of Consequences" diagram.
- Some of the consequences the students think of may NOT be direct consequences, but rather consequences of a direct consequence. For example, a direct consequence of "world temperatures rise" would be a "sea level rise." A consequence of "sea level rise" would be "flooding." "Flooding" goes in a circle connected to the "sea level rise" circle.
- If you want to create a more specific Circles of Consequence diagram, you might choose one direct consequence as the central circle and ask the students think of the consequences of that. E.g., use "sea level rise" as the central phrase or issue. Another exercise might be to put a term such as "sea level rise" in the central circle and ask the students to think of the consequences of global warming on agriculture. (Examples: flooding, overcrowding from coastal populations moving inland, habitat loss, etc.)
- Select several consequences that are interconnected. Ask students how they are related. (Answers will vary. Example: Global warming will melt glaciers and this may result in rising sea level and coastal flooding.)

I know there's a list of pets based on their spawning conditions, but what about rarity in general? I don't mean poor, common etc, but by how hard it is to find the pet.
For example, the Minfernal (I'd rate this a 5/5 difficulty) vs the Sand Kitten which I'd rate a 3/5.
A way to sort pets based on rarity/difficulty to find would be great.

Brendan McCafferty: Manchester's new teacher contract leaves students dangerously unsupervised
August 27. 2013 7:41PM
AS THE 2013-2014 school year is set to begin, the Manchester School District principals and assistant principals would like to thank you for entrusting your children to our school communities. Thank you to all of you who support the efforts within each school and also to those of you who challenge and question; reflecting and explaining makes us better at what we do! There are always challenges, but it is important to appreciate the accomplishments and growth we have made.
As part of the process of determining this year's school calendar, representatives of the Board of School Committee and Manchester Education Association created and signed a Memorandum of Understanding. This MOU has several conditions, but chief among them is the change to the length of the school day. Teachers will enter school at the same time as the students and remain only five minutes after dismissal at the elementary level and eight minutes at the middle school level. This creates a major concern for the safety of your children.
Although the configuration is different in each building, all schools provide for dismissal to buses, cars and walking. This MOU places the responsibility of dismissing hundreds of students with the building administration.
We are very concerned about the logistics of one or two people trying to assist students to their mode of transportation and to the right person while monitoring the remaining students. The typical dismissal today takes 15 to 25 minutes and involves most to all staff members.
We are attempting through several written communications and face-to-face meetings to come to a resolution that would respect the intent of the district in moving to a minutes-based schedule while most importantly ensuring the safety of your children. At this point in time, there has not been a successful resolution.
This MOU was created by the Board of School Committee's negotiations team, consisting of members John Avard, Chris Stewart, Sarah Ambrogi and attorney Matt Upton. Attorney Upton shared with school administrators on May 2 that, "We realize this isn't feasible." And we agree. We will continue to be available to discuss solutions that may be offered. The Manchester School District principals and assistant principals, however, are focused on the safety of your children and needed to make sure that the Manchester community is aware of our concern. The foundation to the success in all schools is a safe learning environment. It is our goal to continue the district's efforts in providing that environment for all of our students.
Brendan McCafferty is principal of Hillside Middle School and president of the Association of Manchester Principals.

With all the previous articles written on FSE, it seems we now have all elements to build a complete FSE decoder. Let's wrap up all this learning into a single piece.
To start with, we consider that all symbols are attributed a weight, of minimum 1, normalized over a sum which is a power of 2 (8, 16, 32, etc.).
The size of the decoding table is this sum.
Each symbol will appear in the table exactly as many times as it weights.
We have seen that, to maximize table's capability to capture fractional bits, we have to spread each symbol over the table, at roughly regular distances (the more regular, the better the compression performance).
For example, using the previous example of a symbol A with weight 5/16 :
We have seen that destination sub-ranges must sum up to cover the complete table, with each sub-range having a size in power of 2, defining an exact number of bits to use. We have seen that the smaller ranges must be placed at the beginning.
We now must associate each symbol in the table with a destination range.
To do that, we will number the ranges, beginning with the larger ones.
So the final assembling becomes :
If you build a decoding table using the above construction method, you have a simple decoding algorithm as a result. The hot loop is a mere 4-lines, as follows :
// Persistent variables across the loops : state and bitStream
BYTE symbol = decodeTable[state].symbol;
int nbBits = decodeTable[state].nbBits;
int rest = getBits (bitStream, nbBits);
state = decodeTable[state].newStateBaseline + rest;
This is all it takes to build your own FSE decoder.
You can always use the code at Github for further guidance.
Next part will be a study of the compression algorithm part of FSE, which is a bit more complex...

FSE : distributing symbol values
Following the last article on defining optimal sub-ranges for FSE, and attributing them according to symbol ranking, we were left with the question of how to position symbol values into the state table.
We already said that an FSE decoding table following ANS theory is equivalent to an Huffman Low-bit-order decoding table : a symbol with a probability of 50% will be positioned once every 2 cells. With a probability of 25%, it will be positioned once every 4 cells. And so on.
Obviously, the question is : what if the probability of a symbol is not a power of 2 ?
Well, with this context in mind, it seems obvious that we should follow the same logic, and if for example, a symbol has a probability of 33.333%, it should be positioned once every 3 cells.
OK, but even 33% is an easy target, because it's such a convenient fractional number. What if we have, for example, a probability of 7.27%, resulting in an average distance between symbols at every 13.75515.... cells ?
Well, an intuitive idea is that we will try to approach this distribution, typically by spacing symbols sometimes by 13 cells, sometimes by 14 cells. And indeed, that's how it works.
OK, it may look clear and simple for a single symbol. But what about all these other symbols together, trying to get their own regularly spaced slots ? Won't they be fighting for some same slots ?
Let's take an example, to see that situation clearer. Let's imagine that, on a 16-states decoding table, we have the following distribution :
In this case, we have an issue, because 16/5=3.2, which obviously is not an integer. So we will have to space A by a distance of 3.2, which we can only approximate, by being 3 most of the time, and maybe 4 sometimes.
The intuitive optimal distribution for A is reached by applying this algorithm :
Position 0 : at P/2 (=1.6, so rounded down to 1 for example)
Position n = position n-1 + 3.2
Which gives : 1 (1.6), 4 (4.8), 8 (8.0), 11 (11.2), 14 (14.4)
(Edit : Charles Bloom calls this method "bias 0.5", and recommends "bias 1.0" instead, which gives better results. The reason why it's better is likely related to the fact that positions in the state table are not equal in term of contribution to probability, with the lower states being worth more than the higher ones.)
Yeah, this would be fine enough, except that, A is not alone.
What about B ? It has the same probability, so it should occupy the same positions ?
Of course not, only one symbol can occupy a state, so let's say that B is kind enough to move its own position by 1, leading to 2, 5, 9, 12, 15.
OK, it looks fine, so now, what about C ?
C distribution is 3, so Pos0(C) = (16/3) / 2 = 5.33/2 = 2.66 => 2.
Humm, that's a problem, 2 is already used by B.
OK, let's say B has higher priority because it should have 1.6 to begin with, so it's lower than 2.66. So we keep 2 for B, and give 3 for C.
And so on. Add D to the mix for even more fun. D basically takes whatever cell remains for its own use, wherever they are.
As you can see, it seems to be a mess. And it is : with more and more symbols filling the table, space is necessarily becoming scarce for the later ones.
However, a perfect distribution algorithm exists along the same lines : for each position, compare all fractional state values of all symbols, pick the lowest one, increase its value by step=1/probability, and start again the same process for next state. You still have a lot of ties to solve, but you can for example decide to select symbol values in order in such cases.
It works.
It's just damn slow, due to the huge number of comparisons required.
It can be sped up by using bucket sorting strategy. An interesting method is to use more buckets than states, for easier tie management. It works fine too, and drastically reduces the number of comparisons involved, at the cost of a bit of accuracy. But that's okay, since precise initialization is not required, it only compresses "closer to Shannon limit".
Let's by the way spend some more time on this strategy : precise initialization is not required.
Indeed, the only point is to reduce the amount of "waste" in fractional bit estimation. Where does that waste come from ?
Well, as said in previous article, a fractional bit is translated into a "decrease" of the state value.
For this to work correctly, i.e. to minimize the fractional bit cost, we need to have our target symbol approximately at the intended destination state value. If not, then we will "waste" some more fractional bit, in order to find the intended symbol.
With this idea in mind, the worst thing that can happen is to "cluster" the values together at one end of the range : it maximizes the probability that state value will have to be decreased more to find the required symbol.
On the other hand, if a symbol with a probability 50% is distributed evenly, once every 2 cells, finding it is highly simplified, and even guaranteed at a distance of at most 1.
The above explanation is a bit simplified, but works well at explaining how fractional bit works.
So, it's not very important to be precise, what matters is to be well "spread" across the spectrum of state values.
With this idea in mind, we can concentrate on the next objective : speed.
Rather than trying to find the best distribution, we'll try to find one which is "good enough" at spreading, and most importantly fast to implement.
With some experiment, I ended up selecting this simple formula :
nextState = currentState + (5/8) range + 3
which is way faster than all previous proposals, thanks to the absence of comparisons, branches, and the guarantee to reach all state values in a single scan. Using the above example, this heuristic solution gives the following distribution result :
in a word, good enough.
Note that results are better than this example with larger tables. We are limited here, for visibility, at 16 states, but the heuristic has been tuned for larger sizes, 512 states and beyond.
In Charles Bloom's article, you'll find a different recommended distribution method, closer to optimal, and backed with solid experimental evidences. There's no contradiction : this blog is called "fast compression" for a reason, and that's why in this recommendation, speed takes precedence.

Jim Thome knows the routine. Hit a game-ending homer, circle the bases, get mobbed by teammates.
It never gets old.
Thome hit a pinch home run leading off the bottom of the ninth inning to lift the Philadelphia Phillies over the Tampa Bay Rays 7-6 on Saturday after Jonathan Papelbon blew his first save in 18 chances this season.
Thome connected off Jake McGee (2-2) for home run No. 609, tying Sammy Sosa for seventh place on baseball's career list. It was the 13th time he did it to end a game.
"You never forget them," Thome said. "These are moments you never know how long you'll have them."
Juan Pierre and Jimmy Rollins also homered for the Phillies, helping manager Charlie Manuel earn his 900th career win.
"To do that for him, it was special for sure," said Thome, who is very close to Manuel.
In the first meeting at Citizens Bank Park between this teams since Philadelphia won the 2008 World Series, the Phillies rallied from a 3-0 deficit against James Shields with homers from their Nos. 1-2 hitters. But Papelbon couldn't hold the lead.
Thome then came through to lead the five-time defending NL East champions out of last place for the first time since May 4. He hit a high drive to left field, jogged around the bases to a rousing ovation and got a cream pie in the face from Shane Victorino afterward on the field.
"That felt great," Thome said. "They put whipped cream instead of shaving cream so that was nice."
Tampa Bay's Jeff Keppinger was 5 for 5 with three RBIs in his first game after he missed 29 because of a broken toe.
Papelbon (2-2) allowed his first earned runs in a save situation this season. He walked Jose Lobaton with two outs to extend the game. Keppinger followed with an RBI single. Then, Brooks Conrad ripped a run-scoring single to right to tie it. Conrad was 3 for 41 before that hit.
"I've got to do a better job," Papelbon said.
Papelbon said he told Thome in the on-deck circle that he would give him $5,000 if he hit a homer. Papelbon said he wrote the check in the clubhouse.
"That was a huge pickup by Jim Thome," Papelbon said. "I couldn't be happier for anybody in the clubhouse."
Shields, who beat the Phillies in Game 2 of the '08 Series for Tampa Bay's only win, allowed five runs and seven hits in five innings. Since starting 5-0, Shields is 2-4 with a 4.69 ERA.
Tampa Bay has lost three straight.
"Tip your hat to Thome. He hit a 96 mph fastball off a left-hander and they beat us," Rays manager Joe Maddon said.
The 41-year-old Thome was 0 for 12 as a pinch-hitter before his at-bat. He batted .333 with four homers and 14 RBIs in nine games as a designated hitter during interleague play earlier this month.
Shields fanned the first two batters in the fourth before getting in trouble. Pinch-hitter Mike Fontenot and Rollins hit consecutive singles. That brought up Pierre, who hadn't gone deep in 366 at-bats, dating to Aug. 16 with the Chicago White Sox. Pierre lined career homer No. 17 over the right-field fence, and strutted down the line with a finger pointed in the air.
Pierre reached on a two-base error, hustling his way to second base in the seventh. Carlos Ruiz looped an RBI single to right off Brandon Gomes to make it 6-3.
The Rays loaded the bases with no outs in the eighth against Antonio Bastardo, but only got one run on an RBI single by Sean Rodriguez.
Kendrick got Philadelphia started in the third with a leadoff walk. Rollins followed with a drive that hooked inside the right-field foul line to cut the deficit to 3-2. The Phillies had runners on first and third with one out, but couldn't push across the tying run. Ty Wigginton struck out and Placido Polanco flied out.
Kendrick allowed three runs and six hits in four innings, striking out six. He is 1-3 with a 7.36 ERA in five starts since shutting out St. Louis on May 26.
Kendrick retired the first four batters before unraveling with one out in the second. He allowed a single to Ben Zobrist and walked Lobaton. Keppinger followed with a two-run double down the left-field line. He advanced to third on a throwing error by second baseman Michael Martinez and scored on Shields' groundout for a 3-0 Rays lead.
Notes: Pierre was 2 for 4 with three RBIs, two runs and two stolen bases. He also made a sliding catch in left field. ... Phillies RHP Mike Stutes will have arthroscopic surgery on his right shoulder on Tuesday. Dr. Lewis Yocum will perform the operation. ... Rays RHP Todd Farnsworth (right elbow strain) is scheduled to make his first back-to-back rehab appearances on Sunday and Monday. ... Shields struck out seven. ... Ruiz was hit by a pitch for the major league-leading 12th time. ... The Phillies had their 255th straight sellout, including postseason play. ... The Phillies will send Cole Hamels (10-3, 3.25) and Cliff Lee (0-3, 3.48) to the mound in their day/night doubleheader Sunday. David Price (9-4, 3.08) will pitch the first game for Tampa Bay. The Game 2 starter is undecided.

This week's Oscar nominations brought surprisesChief among them: the snubbing of Ben Affleck and Kathryn Bigelow, directors of "Argo" and "Zero Dark Thirty," for director, and the multi-category dominance of upstarts "Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Amour." Those two films collectively nabbed nine nominations, including best picture and director for each of them — and gave a huge boost to these previously on-the-bubble contenders. Meanwhile, "Silver Linings Playbook" nabbed nominations in all seven major categories (picture, director, screenplay and all four acting categories, the first time in more than 30 years a movie has done so).
How big was the shake-up? The Times' Data Desk's HeatMeter system — a snapshot of the current state of the awards race based on a mathematical system of points allotted for each award or nomination — offers a vivid portrait. Coming into the Academy Awards noms, "Amour" had an overall picture score (a compilation of all awards affiliated with the film over the season) that put it behind "Argo" in sixth place. "Beasts," which had not gotten much love from critics or other groups, was well out of the running down in 16th place. Meanwhile, "Silver Linings" was in fourth place, far behind front-runner "Lincoln."
After the Oscar noms? "Amour" has pulled ahead of "Argo" into fifth place. "Beasts" has entered the Top 10. And "Silver Linings" has leapfrogged to No. 2.

You do have a challenge ahead of you, but by understanding the dynamics, you can plan an entry strategy that will make it easier. When a well-loved manager leaves, employees may feel abandoned. They are suffering the loss of a leader, perhaps a friend, someone whose management style is familiar and whose expectations, standards and values are known.
Such employees will find it hard to accept the replacement. If the newcomer arrives soon after the predecessor's departure, if no separation procedure took place and if the emotional costs are not well understood, everyone will have a hard time with the change. In a way, as the new person, you can never take the place of the favorite who came before. Intuitively, you wish that person never existed. However, you should honor that person while making yourself known and carving out your own niche.
Never disparage your predecessor's accomplishments. Your new coworkers will be more loyal to the person who left than to you, and any undue criticism may brand you as the enemy. If, as a new manager, you are in a position to make changes and wish to do so, invoke the spirit of the respected predecessor. You might suggest that your program "builds" on the work done before and is probably what would have been done if he or she had continued.
On occasion, you can check the changes with the person who left and thereby receive his or her blessings. The changes you recommend can then bring credit to both of you, preparing your group for transition to your ways of thinking. Use accomplishments of the past as a standard, such as:
"The short time it took you to change the molds on the production line last summer under Smith set a new standard for all of us to meet."
You also can ask, "How would Smith have done it?" Asking for information does not oblige you to do the job in the same way, but it does show that you respect Smith's competence, as well as the group's, and that you want to take full advantage of it. You can continue to invent, so that you are not controlled by the past and destined to repeat it, by asking, "Now what can we do to improve? Do we have different circumstances now that we must take into consideration?"
Most people you meet in the company will put their best foot forward. Tension and difficulties often are concealed or minimized. You will have to be alert to subtle cues of strained relationships, territorialism, cliques, power centers and the feelings people have about the person you are replacing.
How do you find out what you want to know? Ask questions. Pay attention to the way in which people talk about themselves and others. If you have the opportunity to see people interacting, watch how they treat each other. Here are some questions you may want to ask:
• Tell me about the person I am replacing.
• What was he best known for?
• What were some of the problems?
• How did she deal with them?
Engaging employees keeps them not only involved, but also committed to the team. Only then can they become real partners with you.

On a recent trip to Ireland, my flight had what was supposed to be a two-hour layover in Frankfort, Germany. Just enough time for bier! And giant pretzels! And spaetzel! before hopping the plan and heading to the land of emerald pastures and thick, dark Guinness.
Items You Should Have in Your Carry-on
[imagebrowser id=636]
But our airline had other plans, which included a half-day strike that left us stranded in the Frankfort airport for 18 hours. We tried to get comfy and grab some shut eye on the wholly uncomfortable chairs in the terminal. By the time we made it to our destination though, we were a little worse for the wear– but not nearly as ragged as we could have been, thanks to some key items packed in our carry-on.
Next time you jet off on a grand adventure, don't forget to pack these five essentials in your carry-on, lest you encounter a bit of turbulence in your travels.

Jack Kelly is a good author because he makes you feel like you are right in the book. I also like The Great Illustrated Classics series because most of his books make you emotional. I liked this book because there is alot of action in it and that's the kind of books I like. I also like vampires. They are my favorite kind of monsters.
I recommend this book to people who like monsters and who like horror movies. If you want to know what happens at the end the book, read it.

Everything works on a balance between left and right, up and down, cold and hot, etc… Think about your life. Where are you out of balance? What is missing or very slim? What is just too much? Do you work too much or are you not working enough and can't pay the bills? Do you need to tighten your budget or do you need to loosen up and spend more on yourself? Are you too picky about choosing a partner or have you settled for someone that's not right for you? Life is not easy and part of the challenge is to achieve better balance.
For me, life is about getting better at everything I do. Isn't that universal for us all? Holistically, the balance is between mental, physical, spiritual and emotional aspects of our being. Remember that in holistic healing, if you get too far ahead in one aspect and behind in another you will get stuck. In general, you will not be able to progress very well in your life. For example, let's say you are really smart (mentally advanced) and that you are working for a company that is developing a new hybrid automobile. You are trying to create a new battery for this car. Unfortunately, in your head, you're battling some issues with an incident that happened in your past that prevents you from thinking clearly. For months you struggle with creating the battery because your mind is not functioning well. So, even though you are mentally strong, you're emotional weakness drags on your progress.
So, sometimes we have to stop and look within. We have to communicate with the universe. Do this regularly for good health. Be honest with yourself. Do the work to heal! Find someone to help when needed. Take the time to heal yourself. MAKE the time to heal yourself. Realize where you're out of balance. Come back to the center. Move back to the core. Ground into the earth. Connect with the heavens. Become ONE with all creation.
Peace, knowledge and love,

Hey there, party people!
It's time for some fun so get a beverage of your choice and let's get to it! ;)
I promised you a party, right? Well, this is not the wild party on a Friday or a Saturday night that you might know. This is a super-fun mixed media ATC swap party! Whooohoooo! Excited? Good!
I was once chatting to Riikka after seeing her gorgeous ATCs on Facebook when I simply asked 'Fancy a swap?' and she said 'Yes'… That was easy, I thought! Hehee… And then it hit me… why don't we do something that's fun for everyone and that's exactly what this is about. This swap party is all about connecting with like-minded people, making friends in the blog world and being creative to your heart's desire!
To make it more fun, Riikka agreed to make 4 ATCs and I agreed to do the same and so we have 8 ATCs in total to give out as a little prize to 8 different participants at the very end of our swap party! I (Ingrid) will announce the winners on our blog here and on our MMW Facebook page.
Riikka created these little beauties…
Now you are excited, huh?! :) And here are the ones made by moi…
Any game has a few rules and points for guidance and ours are as follows:
- Your ATC must be 2 ½" x 3 ½" (6.4cm x 8.9cm).
- Your ATC can be portrait or landscape orientation.
- Theme: Anything Goes!
- The choice of techniques and media is up to you, but remember we are a Mixed Media focused blog.
- Mark the back of your ATC with your name and the date. You can also add your contact details, if you wish.
- Write a blog post with pics and a link to our MMW challenge blog post for the swap (button on the side bar). Do remember to mention in your post, if you are interested in swapping at all and also whether you are interested to swap only within your country or worldwide.
- Don't make your ATC to chunky, if you are going to post internationally so it fits a simple envelope and won't be too pricey to post! Or… go all the way, it's up to you!
- Please don't include anything else in the envelope, perhaps a note to the lucky recipient. This is to avoid any disappointment (one gets a happy mail, the other doesn't kinda thing…). This is just a friendly advice though…
- 8 ATCs will be selected randomly to win 4 ATCs from Riikka & 4 ATCs from Ingrid. Only Mixed Media ATC will be entered into the draw!
- Make sure you follow this blog so you don't miss a thing!
- Have fun creating your Artist Trading Cards!!! :)
How will the ATC swap work:
- You will make an ATC (you can make one or more, depending on how many you wish to swap/enter).
- Write your post with all the details and links and hop over to our MMW blog.
- There is a Linky button on the bottom of the MMW blog post that will be active until 26th October 2015! You have a whole month to enter! Yay!
- Enter your name + a word 'swap', if you are interested in swapping with someone, under your image when linking up. Don't forget to mention your intentions in your post too!
- Once you see an ATC in the Linky Gallery that you like, simply visit the creator's blog by clicking on the entry, leave them a comment that you are interested in swapping with them. If it is mutual, you can then exchange PRIVATE emails via their blogger profile or their contact form. Don't forget to join their blogs so that you can stay in touch!
- Please note, our talented MMW Design Team may enter their own ATC via the Linky so make sure to keep an eye on their blogs too! Wouldn't it be awesome to receive an ATC from one of the girls?! This swap party is opened to anyone who wants to swap mixed media ATCs and make friends in the blog world!
- Once you have received your swapped ATC make sure to let the other person know (and thank them…).
- Feel free to blog about the received ATC and share it on your social sites like Twitter, Facebook, Instagram etc. or your blog or whatever gallery you like to use. If you could add the link to MMW again that would be great so people know where the idea came from and can join the fun too!
Our current challenge 'Anything Goes with Autumn Colours' will still be running too! Join HERE!
We can't wait to see your Artist Trading Cards entered below and are looking forward to making friends with mixed media artists all over the world! Let's play! :)
Big warm hugs,

Craig Bierko will become a regular and Katey Sagal will be joining ABC's "Boston Legal" for several episodes this fall, leading a parade of guest stars on the David E. Kelley series.
Constance Zimmer ("Entourage"), "Invasion" star Tyler Labine and frequent Kelley collaborator Anthony Heald ("Boston Public") will also appear on the show.
Bierko ("Cinderella Man," "Scary Movie 4") will make his first appearance in the show's second episode of the season, scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 26. He'll play a defense attorney named Jeffrey Coho who takes on a high-profile case in his first day at Crane, Poole & Schmidt: that of a young man (Ashton Holmes, "A History of Violence") accused of murdering a judge.
Sagal will play the accused's mother in the storyline, which will run for several episodes. The former "Married ... with Children" star has guest-starred on "Lost" a few times and is set to resume her voice role on "Futurama" when it goes back into production at Comedy Central.
Labine will play a prosecutor, and Heald will reprise his sometime "Legal" role as the Judge Harvey Cooper, who's presiding over the case. Zimmer, meanwhile, will play a new lawyer at Crane, Poole & Schmidt.
Although "Boston Legal" has gone through some cast upheavals in its first two seasons, year three will begin with last season's core cast -- James Spader, William Shatner, Candice Bergen, Mark Valley, Julie Bowen and Rene Auberjonois -- all returning.

High fashion has been jumping on the streetwear trend for a while now. The backpack is a quintessential element in that look, especially with biking having become such a trend as well. We all know, bags, tote bags, they are just not practical on the bike and therefore it needs to be a backpack. At the same time you do not want to look like you just walked out of high school. The choice is plenty in the luxury backpack range at this point and we picked out some for you to choose from – premium materials, premium looks, yet easy to wear and match with any outfit.
Check out our full selection of luxury backpacks, available at retail now, here below.
Santiago Gonzalez Crocodile Backpack
We start with an extreme one. Designer Santiago Gonzalez presents an olive green all crocodile leather backpack for Fall/Winter 2012. Otherwise the form stays nice and simple. But the croc skin of course comes at a price. You can buy it here for a whopping 5200 Euros.
Givenchy Navy Felt and Leather Backpack
We love the backpacks from Givenchy. This season they present a nice simple version with a mixed navy felt and black leather upper. Great compartment division, great color, the backpack is now available for 2250 USD here.
Mismo Heritage Backpack
Danish brand Mismo continues its strong path and presents a beautiful canvas and leather backpack in beige with brown leather details this season. Similar to something that you would get from Filson, but just a little more clean, a little more elegant. We love them. You can get it for 465 Euros here.
Balenciaga Aged Leather Backpack
Luxury brand Balenciaga presents a black aged leather backpack. Perfectly in line with their look, the backpack works with a more fashion centric look very well. You can get it now here for 895 Pounds.
Bottega Veneta Nero Calf Backpack
Italian brand Bottega Veneta presents the luxury hipster version of the backpack. Butter soft leather, nice tonal details, yet overall rather large in size. It comes in several colors and is now in stock from all Bottega Veneta boutiques.
Kris Van Assche for Eastpak Black XXL Backpack
Here is our favorite backpack from the new Fall/Winter 2012 Kris Van Assche for Eastpak range. Large in size, canvas uppers, premium leather details, lots of compartments and all that for a rather decent price (compared to the rest of course). You can buy it for 545 USD here.
Steve Mono 'Paul' Backpack
Here is a real simple backpack coming from Steve Mono. It comes with a flap closure and simple leather straps, all in black with a mixed canvas and leather upper. If you are looking for something not too large and convenient, then this is the right one to look at. It is now available here for 365 Euros.

I feel like agents at my office are often times on similar wavelengths. This last week I had some similar conversations with a few different agents. What made the experience unusual was that the subjects were brought up to me in the course of the conversation by the other person. You know that feeling where you say, "that's so funny, I just had that same conversation with so and so." Yeah, that was me last week.
As some of the newer realtors are becoming more comfortable, me…Continue

Looking for a new pair of kinky boots? Jeremy Scott has been showing off his latest styles for Adidas's fall/winter 2012 collection, and may have something that'll crack your whip.
At first glance, his purple/navy/grey/orange trainers don't stray too far from the usual Roundhouse Mid mould. That's until you see the day-glo handcuff and chain bolted onto the back of each shoe.
Elsewhere, you'll spot a grey striped pattern now sitting across the tongue and strap.
You'll have to wait till the end of the year to get your rubber-gloved hands on them. Makes you wonder what else Scott's adding to his line. Fingers crossed for a paddle on the tongue…
