Piatkowski Leads All-Devaney Team Voting
Randy York N-Sider
Official Blog of the Huskers
Bittersweet is a one-word descriptor from the All-Devaney Team's leading vote-getter when he's asked to share his thoughts about Wednesday night's final game in the Bob Devaney Sports Center. For Eric Piatkowski, it's bitter because after his alma mater tries to upset Minnesota, he'll say goodbye to Nebraska basketball's home for the last 37 years ... a place that rocked to sellout crowds and helped all four Husker teams he played on beat Kansas in Lincoln.
That is not a misprint. In 1991, '92, '93 and '94, "Pike" and his teammates averaged more than 82 points in those four remarkable triumphs over Jayhawk teams, two of which were ranked No. 3 nationally at the time (1992 and '93) and the other two ranked No. 10 nationally at the time (1991 and '94).
"It is bittersweet when you look back and think about all the great games we had at the Devaney Center, but I'm excited about the new arena," Piatkowski said. "I can't wait for the doors to open at the Pinnacle Bank Arena. The Haymarket Area is going to be a great setup. When you go downtown and have a nice meal at a nice restaurant and then walk right down the street to a state-of-the-art arena and watch the best teams in college basketball, it's going to be awesome. Obviously, we all have great feelings about the Devaney, but it's time to move on. At least that's the way I feel."
One of the two most decorated players in Nebraska history, Piatkowski is humbled to learn that in a 14-day period on Huskers.com, he was the leading vote-getter on the All-Time All-Devaney Men's Team. The other four Husker legends on this elite team are Venson Hamilton, Dave Hoppen, Tyronn Lue and Erick Strickland.
"Oh man, that's amazing, especially when you know how many great players have gone through the doors of the Devaney Center," Piatkowski said. "People kind of forget how great some players really were. I mean, Dave Hoppen was the all-time leading scorer at Nebraska. He just played eight years before I did." Hoppen's 2,167 career points are 233 more than No. 2 Piatkowski's 1,934. Strickland is No. 7 with 1,586, Lue No. 8 with 1,577 and Hamilton, the 1999 Big 12 Conference Player of the Year, No. 11 with 1,416.
Miles' Approval Rating is Off the Charts
Piatkowski is ready to move on because he "can't wait" to see the historical highlights unfold when Nebraska basketball moves downtown. "It's funny. Everybody had their own strong opinions when Tim Miles was hired as head coach," he said. "Now that we're near the end of the regular season and getting ready for the conference tournament, you'd be hard-pressed to find one person that would say: 'Hey, I don't like the hire' now. I mean, every single person I talk to – 100 percent of them and I talk to a lot of people – have just been blown away by everything about Coach Miles. They love the way he's coached his players. When you talk about the injuries and the amount of talent he inherited compared to the rest of the league, you understand why everybody will tell you that the Big Ten is the best basketball conference in the country."
Yet somehow, Nebraska has been surprisingly competitive. "Yes, we've had a blowout here or there, but most people thought it was going to be a blowout every night," Piatkowski said. "Nobody would have guessed that we could go on the road and compete with a Michigan or a Michigan State and win four games this year when most people thought it would be 1, 2 or 3 wins tops. We could have beaten Illinois last Saturday. We did beat Iowa when they were hot, plus Northwestern. People thought beating Penn State twice was no big deal, but didn't Penn State upset Michigan last week? I see so many positives going into next year. I feel very good about the direction everything is going."
According to Piatkowski, who went on to play 14 seasons in the NBA, it all starts with Miles. "Tim's personality is just infectious," he said. "You keep your fingers crossed with the combination of the practice facility, the state-of-the-art arena and what his coaching and those assets are doing for recruiting. Yes, we still need to get a big man, but there's help on the way. This program is going to continue to build every single year to the point where someday we will be contending for a Big Ten championship year after year."
Nebraska Needed Energizing Head Coach
While watching the Huskers compete in their first season under Miles, Piatkowski has reached a conclusion. "The thing I like most is Tim's energy," he said. "So many people wanted an older and more established coach, and I just don't think that would have been the right guy for our program. We had to hire a guy with a ton of energy to get this program turned around, and I just don't know if a seasoned coach who's been around a long time would have the energy to do what Tim's been doing."
Piatkowski, a.k.a. The Polish Rifle, explains his point. "The head coach and his staff have to work so hard in so many different areas," he said. "They have to be out on the road all the time, yet still reach out in the community every day to get people excited. They have to do all of that on top of the stuff they have to get done on the basketball court. Tim is the perfect coach to pull all of those things off at the same time."
What, you ask, qualifies Miles to handle all the external pressure at the same time he's instilled so much confidence internally? "He's really honest, and it doesn't seem like he has any ego whatsoever," Piatkowksi said. "When this team gets drilled, he reminds them that's what everybody expected with an inexperienced team. He tells them the truth without ever getting down on his players."
Piatkowski Digs Huskers' Positive Vibes
For two seasons before Nebraska joined the Big Ten, Piatkowski served as a Fox Sports television analyst for Nebraska games. Even though he's now spending more time coaching his son's sixth-grade basketball team and watching his freshman daughter play junior high school basketball in Elkhorn, we ask Piatkowski to analyze Nebraska's competitive spirit.
"Players aren't sulking, and they always take the court thinking they have a chance to win," he said. "Almost every night, it seems like Tim has them ready to go. He's built them up to the point where they're saying: 'You know what? We can beat these guys!' That's how they play. They come out every single night to compete at a high level. If they win, it's awesome. If they lose, they're ready to go right back to work. I just like the entire attitude of the team. You don't ever get the impression that it's the end of the world. You don't ever feel like they don't think they're good enough. Tim doesn't make any excuses, and neither do any of his players. It's all positive, and that spreads to the players. That's why they've had a lot more success than anybody thought they could have up to this point."
Players saw Miles' tough mindset from the beginning. "When he asked people if they wanted to be here, and they couldn't answer, he was more than ready to help them leave," Pike said. "Most people couldn't believe how decisive he was, but that was the only way he could get everyone on the same page. They all bought into the same thing, and I'm excited about where we're going."
Vision: Get to the Free Throw Line More
That direction is to begin a steady climb from what is currently one of the nation's worst teams to get to the free throw line to become one of the best teams in that critical category. "Tim wants to attack offensively and have everyone capable of shooting a three when the ball goes inside and then comes back outside," Piatkowski said, remembering how the teams he played on could put up 96, 85, 81 and 68 points in four consecutive wins over Kansas in Lincoln. When Pike was a sophomore, the Huskers beat No. 2 Oklahoma State, 85-69, at the Devaney Center, and then, 14 days later, upset No. 3 KU, 81-79 in overtime. He also remembers Nebraska upsetting No. 5 Michigan State in the Devaney Center when he was just a freshman.
"I don't want to say that Nebraska basketball fans are as savvy as, say, Indiana, but this city and this state really enjoys their basketball," Piatkowski said. "Look at who we are and what we have – a great coach who's getting us ready to play in the one of the nation's best arenas. Every time you turn around, we're playing Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Indiana, Wisconsin. These are some of the best teams in the country every year. It doesn't get any better than that. If you want to see great basketball, get some season tickets and go down and watch these guys play. You're going to see some of THE best players, THE best coaches and THE best teams in the country, guaranteed. It's a very cool deal to be in the Big Ten. I love it, and I'm excited about the future we have in it. We're going to play with a lot of energy and a lot more talent than we have right now, but we have to get the same kind of energy from our fans."
Hopefully, such energy will surge to a peak when Nebraska hosts Minnesota in the Devaney Center's grand finale Wednesday night. Seven days ago, the Golden Gophers sent shockwaves across the country, upsetting No. 1-ranked Indiana in Minneapolis.
Nebraska Needs Some Magic of Its Own
Now it's Nebraska's turn to manufacture some magic, and if you like nostalgia, this is a must-see game. Nebraska Hall-of-Fame legends Piatkowski, Hoppen and Strickland will sign autographs from 7 p.m. to 7:45 p.m. Nebraska will then salute its three seniors – Brandon Ubel, Dylan Talley and Andre Almeida. Tipoff is 8 p.m., and the first 10,000 fans will receive a special commemorative poster honoring the All-Devaney Center Team selected by Big Red fans. A special halftime presentation will honor the Devaney family and introduce the All-Devaney Center Team. Don't miss a presentation that also will include a video tribute to the Devaney Center. It's so moving and so nostalgic, you'll be glad the lights are down, so no one can see you rub your eyes.
Take it straight from Piatkowski, one of the most visionary promoters of what comes next. Help pack the Bob Devaney Center one last time, and then make sure you buy 2013-14 season basketball tickets, so you can return next fall and help launch what promises to be the greatest chapter in the history of Nebraska basketball.

GOP ignores science at own peril
Providing for the fluoridation of Connecticut's public water supply has been the health policy in the state for nearly 50 years and has been universally accepted as a safe and inexpensive method of preventing tooth decay for longer than that.
The Center for Disease Control lists the contribution of fluoride to the nationwide decline in tooth decay as one of the 10 greatest health successes in the 20th century.
Water fluoridation has saved residents of the United States nearly $40 billion in dental costs in the past 50 years and the Connecticut Public Health Department reports the lifetime cost to an individual for fluoridation is lower than the cost of treating a single cavity.
Sen. Joseph Markley has tried to save us from all of that government intrusion.
The Southington Republican is thinking about reintroducing a bill next session to ban fluoride from public drinking water because it adds an extra expense to already straitened town budgets. He believes government shouldn't mandate taking medicine of any kind.
It's estimated that 91 percent of Connecticut residents drink fluoridated water provided by companies with more than 20,000 customers, as required by the law. The others use wells or are served by numerous small companies, like the Jewett City Water Co., which has 1,800 customers. Sherry Fifield, a customer sales representative, said her company has preferred to avoid the expense of "adding one more thing to the water."
That's their choice as a small utility, albeit a poor one.
Sen. Markley's bill banning fluoride for the 91 percent went nowhere in the last session and before deciding about next year, he held an informal hearing at the Capitol in late June. He said he intended to air the views of both sides of a debate that has been dormant in Connecticut for more than half a century. Only one side showed up.
Paul Connet, a retired chemistry professor and an ardent foe of fluoridation, spoke before a small group that included a woman from Bristol who told the Hartford Courant she's been buying bottled water for her pets for 50 years in order to protect them from fluoride poisoning.
Dr. Connett spoke of studies suggesting fluoride damages bones and tooth enamel and may even lower the IQs of babies. He bolstered Sen. Markley's opposition to government fluoridation, saying individuals should determine whether they should buy and use fluoride, just like any other medicine.
Absent from the hearing were representatives of the Connecticut State Dental Association, which had accepted the senator's invitation but then backed out when they learned Dr. Connett was going to be there.
"We're very interested in getting the information and history and the science of fluoride out to the people," said Dr. Mark Desrosiers, president of the dental association, which strongly endorses fluoridation. "But we wanted to avoid emotional debates and sensationalism. We just didn't want any part in that."
Sen. Markley, the only avowed Tea Party member in the General Assembly, had also introduced a failed bill that would have banned businesses like hospitals and food handlers from requiring their employees to have flu shots. His position appears to be more anti-government mandates than anti-science and after the hearing, he admitted to having some second thoughts about submitting his bill again.
Telling the online CT News Junkie that he was not ready to judge fluoride despite its long-term recognition as effective and safe, the senator said he did feel the hearing reinforced his view that the state shouldn't require fluoride in public drinking water. But he indicated he would have to see more interest from fellow lawmakers before introducing the legislation again.
We urge the senator's Republican colleagues to discourage Sen. Markley and thereby avoid adding fluorides to the party's growing anti-science reputation. There has been enough of that from extremists opposing settled science like evolution, being against vaccinations for school children and debunking global warming over the protests of moderates like Mitt Romney, Jon Huntsman and Tim Pawlenty, among others.
Mr. Markley's bill would only serve to enhance that unfortunate image.

"Planet X" might actually exist — and so might "Planet Y."
At least two planets larger than Earth likely lurk in the dark depths of space far beyond Pluto , just waiting to be discovered, a new analysis of the orbits of "extreme trans-Neptunian objects" (ETNOs) suggests.
Researchers studied 13 ETNOs — frigid bodies such as the dwarf planet Sedna that cruise around the sun at great distances in elliptical paths. [ Newest Sale Online Outlet Fashion Style Braking by Loncar FOOTWEAR Laceup shoes su YOOXCOM lAO3lQ
Theory predicts a certain set of details for ETNO orbits, study team members said. For example, they should have a semi-major axis, or average distance from the sun, of about 150 astronomical units (AU). (1 AU is the distance from Earth to the sun — roughly 93 million miles, or 150 million kilometers.) These orbits should also have an inclination, relative to the plane of the solar system, of almost 0 degrees, among other characteristics.
But the actual orbits of the 13 ETNOs are quite different, with semi-major axes ranging from 150 to 525 AU and average inclinations of about 20 degrees.
"This excess of objects with unexpected orbital parameters makes us believe that some invisible forces are altering the distribution of the orbital elements of the ETNOs, and we consider that the most probable explanation is that other unknown planets exist beyond Neptune and Pluto," lead author Carlos de la Fuente Marcos, of the Complutense University of Madrid, said in a statement .
"The exact number is uncertain, given that the data that we have is limited, but our calculations suggest that there are at least two planets, and probably more, within the confines of our solar system," he added.
The potential undiscovered worlds would be more massive than Earth, researchers said, and would lie about 200 AU or more from the sun — so far away that they'd be very difficult, if not impossible, to spot with current instruments.
The new results are detailed in two papers in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society Letters .

Celebrate the end of school with a visit to Metropolis! That's the Tallahassee Metropolis, where the Historic Capitol Museum will show Superman during Movie Night at the Museum this Friday, June 1. The film choice is in honor of the men and women of steel who saved the Historic Capitol from demolition 40-years ago.
While the Historic Capitol's heroes and heroines were debating in the legislature and picketing on the Capitol steps, Superman, starring Christopher Reeve and Margot Kidder, was first released into theaters. Based on a comic devised by two teenage boys in 1933, Superman was just the hero Florida needed to save the day and keep the beautiful Historic Capitol for us all to enjoy!
The film will be shown outside in the Capitol Courtyard, and attendees are encouraged to bring lawn chairs or blankets for seating. Picnic baskets are welcome (no kryptonite, please) and complimentary sodas, candy, and popcorn will be provided. The movie will begin at dusk (approximately 8:30 p.m.), but come early to secure your seat, play a few family-friendly games, and enjoy all that the Florida Historic Capitol Museum has to offer. The Museum will be open from 7:00 p.m. and visitors can take the opportunity to check out the temporary exhibit, Capitol Creations: Investigate and Create before it closes on Sunday, June 3.
If by some chance you have never seen this iconic movie, you will no doubt have heard the often borrowed phrase "It's a Bird! It's a plane! It's Superman!" The comic book hero started life on the planet Krypton, but falls to earth when his planet is destroyed with an explosion. Raised as Clark Kent by a quintessentially American family, Superman hones his natural superpowers to help others and fight crime, all while recording it all as a journalist for the Daily Planet newspaper. Don't miss the chance to see this classic film in such a unique setting!
The Fibonacci Sequence is the series of numbers:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, ...
The next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.
It is that simple!
Here is a longer list:
0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, 89, 144, 233, 377, 610, 987, 1597, 2584, 4181, 6765, 10946, 17711, 28657, 46368, 75025, 121393, 196418, 317811, ...
Can you figure out the next few numbers?
When we make squares with those widths, we get a nice spiral:
Do you see how the squares fit neatly together? For example 5 and 8 make 13, 8 and 13 make 21, and so on.
This spiral is found in nature! See: Nature, The Golden Ratio, and Fibonacci
The Fibonacci Sequence can be written as a "Rule" (see Cheapest For Sale Clearance Discount GELCUMULUS 20 Neutral running shoes black/white Clearance Inexpensive Sale Manchester Great Sale 2018 Sale Online rMK7x4Y
First, the terms are numbered from 0 onwards like this:
So term number 6 is called x 6 (which equals 8).
So we can write the rule:
The Rule is x n = x n-1 + x n-2
And here is a surprise. When we take any two successive (one after the other) Fibonacci Numbers, their ratio is very close to the Golden Ratio " φ " which is approximately 1.618034...
In fact, the bigger the pair of Fibonacci Numbers, the closer the approximation. Let us try a few:
Note: this also works when we pick two random whole numbers to begin the sequence, such as 192 and 16 (we get the sequence 192, 16, 208, 224, 432, 656, 1088, 1744, 2832, 4576, 7408, 11984, 19392, 31376, ... ):
It takes longer to get good values, but it shows that not just the Fibonacci Sequence can do this!Fitness Jogging Athletic Running WXDZ Womens Lightweight Sneakers Casual Shoes Tennis Shoes Walking Sport Darkblue AwaqFnCwzv
And even more surprising is that we can calculate any Fibonacci Number using the Golden Ratio:
The answer always comes out as a whole number , exactly equal to the addition of the previous two terms.
Shoes w840v3 New Balance Running Women's Droplet Example:
When I used a calculator on this (only entering the Golden Ratio to 6 decimal places) I got the answer 8.00000033. A more accurate calculation would be closer to 8.
Try it for yourself!
Here is the Fibonacci sequence again:
Women's Droplet Balance New Shoes Running w840v3 There is an interesting pattern:
And so on (every th number is a multiple of).
Notice the first few digits (0,1,1,2,3,5) are the Fibonacci sequence?
In a way they are, except multiple digit numbers (13, 21, etc) , like this:
The sequence works below zero also, like this:

Public sector publishing solutions company TSO (the artist formerly known as "The Stationary Office") has announced an upgrade to its web-based open source SPARQL editor, Flint.
NOTE: The W3C defines RDF as a directed, labelled graph data format for representing information on the Web and, in turn, this specification defines the syntax and semantics of the SPARQL query language for RDF. SPARQL can be used to express queries across diverse (and in this case multiple) data sources, whether the data is stored natively as RDF or viewed as RDF via middleware.
Flint v0.5 was originally released in June 2011 — the new version (1.0.3) includes support for the current SPARQL 1.1 specification, with full checking of SPARQL 1.1 syntax, which is more complex than SPARQL 1.0. For those working with SPARQL 1.1 Triplestores, Flint 1.0.3 now supports writing update requests to insert and delete triples, as well as creating queries to run on their stores.
Improvements to the Flint user interface include a "tabbed" screen so developers can work with multiple queries in the same development session.
NOTE: The W3C further specifies that SPARQL contains capabilities for querying "required and optional" graph patterns along with their conjunctions and disjunctions. SPARQL also supports "extensible value testing and constraining queries" by source RDF graphs. The results of SPARQL queries can be results sets or RDF graphs.
TSO's grand claim here is that many existing web-based SPARQL query building tools lack abilities such as context-dependent autocomplete or syntax checking, but… Flint encompasses many of the features developers would expect of traditional Integrated Development Environments (IDEs) and code parsers, through its web implementation.
"Flint has been very positively received in the semantic community, which has spurred on our development efforts," said Terry Blake, technical services director at TSO.
"We've built on the excellent v0.5 IDE and now developers can update, insert, and delete data using SPARQL 1.1 language. We believe that we have produced the most feature-rich, free, JavaScript-based SPARQL editor available. As the commercial use of RDF technology grows, Flint is helping prepare a new generation of developers and underpinning real-world uses of SPARQL."

Although for some folks, this might seem obvious, it's been a debated topic since the release of the BlackBerry 10 Dev Apha devices due to the fact they have the capability to work without a BlackBerry data plan attached to them. In the post to developers today explaining the differences between the BlackBerry Dev Alpha A and the BlackBerry Dev Alpha B, RIM confirmed BlackBerry 10
devices smartphones will need a BlackBerry data plan attached to them.
Should you decide to get a microSIM for your Dev Alpha, you do not need to have "BlackBerry Data" turned on for the account. Connectivity will be work with regular Internet access alone. There may be some carriers where data connectivity doesn't work, but Wi-Fi will work for you in that case. Please note that this is the case just for the Dev Alpha device and not BlackBerry 10 launch devices, which will need to have BlackBerry data on the wireless plan.
This is important because the data plans are a revenue stream for BlackBerry. On the last CrackBerry podcast we discussed how RIM will or will not continue to earn service revenue and now we know at least in the consumer market, BlackBerry data plans are not going to be going away with the launch of BlackBerry 10.
Whether or not those plans will differ from what we know now remains to be seen. RIM and carriers have been rolling out new options in terms of pricing and offerings as of late, so it's not unreasonable to see that trend continue with BlackBerry 10. Also worth noting, this doesn't apply to the WiFi PlayBook, since people asked. Thanks, mcmolineux!

I just canceled the servers for The CLQ. I expect it to be running for one more month (until November 30th 2012). So if there is something you want to keep, e.g. your personal stats, download it now! Copies of various versions of The CLQ over the years can be found here: http://wayback.archive.org/web/*/http://theclq.com (slow).
Running The CLQ is costing me over 2500 Euro per year and I want to stop spending that. I could go advertising or donations, but I don't think the site is popular enough for that and also I prefer a no nonsense approach with these things.
The DVGaming.COM server with this site, the UT2004 and Minecraft servers will stay online indefinitely.
About The CLQ:
The CLQ has been tracking about 50,000,000 gamers on about 1,100,000 game servers for 14 years. The original CLQ site (stats) was made by me (Nico "BattleMode" de Vries) with help from UCC, T. "MAJOR PUNKatron[CYBA]" Boersma and Mark "Painless[pd]" H. The second CLQ site was made with a lot of useful input from the DVGaming.COM and Titan online gaming communities and from Nico's colleagues from OpenIMS / OSICT. The total traffic count is at 242,180,072 page views since 1998. For more info on the second CLQ site see a copy of the homepage and a copy of the about page.

Lesotho's 2009 harvest saw a 10% drop in maize production compared to 2008 due primarily to more land being left fallow because of the high cost of inputs, such as seeds and fertiliser. However, there was a 57% increase in sorghum - the third annual increase in succession. Overall, Lesotho produced around 86,000 mt of cereals, which was slightly less than the previous year. Lesotho is the only country in southern Africa to harvest less in 2009 than in 2008.
The Lesotho Vulnerability Assessment Committee (LVAC) estimates that between 400,000-450,000 people will require some form of humanitarian assistance before the next harvest in April 2010 - compared to 352,000 in the months leading up to the 2009 harvest. The LVAC found that the increasing cost of essential items coupled with reduced opportunities for casual labour (such as weeding etc) had exacerbated the food security situation for many vulnerable households, leaving them dependent on assistance.
While erratic weather has affected Lesotho's staple maize harvests in recent times, annual cereal production has been shrinking for years because of a combination of long-term soil erosion, lack of sufficient access to agricultural inputs and the impact of HIV/AIDS on farming families. In 1980, cereal production met about 80 percent of the national requirements; by the 1990s, it was contributing about 50 percent. By 2004, however, cereal production was estimated to contribute only 30 percent of national cereal requirements – and the percentage is still falling.
Farmers are starting to switch to sorghum, which is more resistant to the changing weather patterns. However, the increase in sorghum production cannot yet compensate for the substantial fall in maize production in recent years.
The declining maize harvests are exacerbating the country's already-high levels of chronic vulnerability since extremely poor families are forced to purchase even more of their food needs – at a time when prices are high and household income is falling.
Studies indicate that HIV/AIDS is the leading factor in the drastic reduction of household income for much of the population. In addition, there is a decline in income opportunities outside the country, particularly in South Africa 's mining industry. Lesotho has a population of around 1.8 million and a significant proportion endures chronic and persistent vulnerability to hunger and poverty.
According to the results of the national nutrition survey conducted in December 2007, 42 percent of children below the age of 5 suffer from stunting (chronic malnutrition), which indicates a lack of nutritious food for a long period of time. The HIV prevalence rate in Lesotho ranges from 24 percent in rural areas to 33 percent in urban areas.
HIV mainly affects individuals in their economically productive and family-rearing years. Grandparents often need to care for children who have been orphaned as their parents have died from HIV/AIDS. There are about 180,000 orphans in Lesotho.
WFP has been working in Lesotho since 1965. Currently, WFP has a Protracted Relief and Recovery Operation (PRRO) and Development Project (DP) in the country. WFP started the new PRRO in May 2008 with the main focus on social protection. WFP used the 2007 UNAIDS report on HIV prevalence and 2007 national nutrition survey to target 158,000 people in six districts with HIV prevalence above the national average. However, due to the combined impact of the financial crisis and high food prices,
WFP has scaled up its operations and is now targeting around 178,000 beneficiaries in 10 districts. Food assistance is targeted at chronically poor and food insecure beneficiaries involved in Prevention of Mother To Child Transmission (PMTCT), Anti-Retroviral Therapy (ART) and Tuberculosis (TB) treatment in remote, mountainous and inaccessible areas. To complement this programme, WFP has a joint partnership with UNFPA on ART counselling. Mother and child health (MCH) and orphaned and vulnerable children interventions are implemented throughout the country under UNICEF/WFP joint programming, the former targets malnourished children below 5 years and pregnant and lactating mothers in targeted health centres.
WFP supports the Government of Lesotho in providing two free meals a day (morning porridge and lunch) to 66,000 pupils in 400 primary schools located in remote and economically-disadvantaged highland and mountainous regions of the country. The project supports the government's priorities as defined in the Poverty Reduction Strategy and Education Sector Strategic Plan 2005-2015 and contributes to outcome 2 of the United Nations Development Assistance Framework: 'to achieve improved and expanded equitable access to quality basic health, education and social welfare services for all by 2012'. School meals provide a powerful incentive for parents to keep their children in class, while the food also improves their health and gives them the energy they need to concentrate on their lessons.

Most people have heard the saying "tail wagging the dog."
In Washington, the National Rifle Association is wagging members of Congress. Before considering proposed legislation involving guns, many in Congress first consult with the NRA to ascertain that the measure doesn't offend that powerful organization.
In other words, the NRA owns our politicians.
Although the NRA has the money to buy politicians, Americans have the vote to send them home.
It's time for the voters to start doing that.

Bitium's comprehensive identity platform enables CIOs to be an agent of change inside their organization.
Helpful insights and tools designed to help answer questions and inform your cloud security strategy.
For organizations that use Namely as their Human Resources Management System (HRMS), automatically provisioning Onstream and other cloud-based SaaS apps based on job function and department can be difficult. SaaS applications typically have their own native directory structure that does not match how you store your data in Namely.
Bitium solves this integration problem by syncing natively with Namely in real time and automatically updating Onstream and your other cloud apps, allowing you to manage Onstream using your existing Namely directory structure.
Our Namely integration allows you to sync your directory with Bitium to manage access rights. Grant, change or remove credentials for any user in Onstream from within Namely or Bitium. You can also connect with Active Directory, LDAP, Google Apps or Bitium for primary authentication.
Bitium's autoprovisioning functionality allows you to automatically create, edit or delete users in Onstream based on settings in Namely, Bitium or Active Directory.
Add an additional layer of password protection with multifactor authentication (2FA). 2FA verifies user identities via mobile app before granting them access to Onstream.
With Single Sign-On (SSO), users log in once to Bitium, allowing them to launch more than 11000 supported web apps with a single click of an icon from their Bitium dashboard. SSO helps employees save time and prevents lost or forgotten passwords.
See who is using Onstream, when they use it and from where. You'll also have insight into the security of each user's Onstream password.
Bitium's SAML solution provides enhanced security by removing app passwords and replacing them with a secure token between Bitium, Onstream and your cloud apps. Since there's no password for SAML logins, there's no risk of credentials being stolen or used by unauthorized users.

BlackBerry used its Jam Europe developer event this month to update the BlackBerry 10 developer toolkit and open up app submissions in the BlackBerry World storefront vendor portal for its new smartphones.
Research in Motion (now renamed simply BlackBerry) launched the BlackBerry Z10 and BlackBerry Q10 smartphones on January 3. The firm has noted that the BlackBerry 10 platform came with an arguably not unimpressive 70,000 apps at launch.
BlackBerry's VP of developer relations Alec Saunders said that the updated tools for building or tweaking applications for the new devices will allow developers to optimize their apps to run on the smartphone's 720 x 720 display. The toolkit also contains a new BlackBerry Q10 simulator. Apps built natively for BlackBerry 10 using the Cascades framework have built-in functionality that automatically adjusts to various screen specifications.
The details of the SDK additions are posted on the online roadmaps for each of the runtimes. The focus of these SDK updates is not on new functionality, but instead around updates needed to support the 1:1 form factor and screen resolution, allowing programmers to build a single application for both the full touch and physical keyboard devices.
This release brings with it an updated Q10 Simulator, but no SDK OS update for the BlackBerry Dev Alpha testing devices. The SDK update is specifically targeted at providing testing support using the BlackBerry Q10 simulator and BlackBerry Dev Alpha C testing devices.
BlackBerry also announced that 12,000 Limited Edition smartphones are being built exclusively for developers who created apps in time for launch. Developers who had previously qualified to receive a BlackBerry Dev Alpha A or B testing device, and who have an application submitted on BlackBerry World, may apply to swap the testing device unit for the red, limited edition model of the BlackBerry Z10.

A Simple, Immutable, Node-Based Data Structure
We continue the discussion of programming without mutable data by looking at what operations make sense for such data structures. For example, last week I noted that array-like data structures aren't terribly useful in a world that doesn't allow data to change, because it's hard to implement even such simple operations as appending to an array efficiently. The difficulty is that in an environment with immutable data, you can't just append a value to an array; you have to create a new array that contains the old array along with the value that you want to append.
I suggested one way of finessing around the problem: Use clever data structures so that the old and new arrays actually share storage. In other words, if
x is an array-like data structure, and you execute
auto y = append(x, v);
then what is really stored is only a (single) copy of
y; under the hood,
x refers to the same data along with an indication that the last element of
y isn't part of
x. I also pointed out that this technique has limitations. In particular, after you execute
auto z = append(x, w);
it is impossible for
y and
z to share storage, which means that all of the elements of
x must be copied.
A reader pointed out that if the value to which you are appending is an rvalue, such as in
auto w = append(foo(), v);
then it is possible to arrange for the compiler to reuse
foo()'s memory and avoid copying its elements. Like my suggestion, this one can be useful in some circumstances and has shortcomings in others. In particular, both of these suggestions have the problem that two statements that appear to behave similarly might have dramatically different execution times, as one of them (such as the call to
append(x, v) above) does not need to copy the elements of
x, but the other one (i.e., the call to
append(x, w)) does.
This need to copy data does not come from the fact that the user of these data structures is asking to "copy" them. A crucially important characteristic of immutable data is that there is never any need to copy it because of its contents alone; the copy always has the same value as the original. The only reason to copy elements of an array-like data structure is that the elements' location in memory is itself the result of a computation. If we never change a value after we create it, and we don't care where in memory that value is located, we don't need to copy values.
To explore this idea, consider a simplified version of the C++ standard-library
pair template. Without getting too hung up on the details of specific programming languages, imagine a data structure with the following properties:
- For any values
y, pair(x, y)is a (single) value that contains both
- If we define
pair(x, y), then
If we were talking about C or C++ here, I would probably want to say that
first(z) evaluates to a copy of
x or something like that. However, in the world of immutable data, this distinction is unnecessary.
As we're not talking about C or C++, let's simplify matters still further by assuming that our data structure is dynamically typed. Then all we really need in order to make our data structure useful is one more function and one value:
- For any value
x, ispair(x)is true if and only if
xis a pair.
- The special value
nilis not a pair, and is not equal to any other value.
Without going into implementation details, let me observe again that because we are dealing entirely with immutable data, the execution time for
