Founder of Pandora Internet Radio to Speak on Campus Nov. 10
According to a recent survey, more than 60 percent of college students today own an Internet-enabled mobile device. With the punch of a thumb, they can communicate; update their status and find friends; access information and news; and find entertainment through countless applications, including an infinite selection of music through Internet Radio giant Pandora.
More than 65 million people have registered to listen to Pandora on their mobile devices, computers and phones. Their personalized radio stations make up more than half of all online radio listening.
So for Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora Internet Radio, the chance to visit with representatives from one of America's fastest-growing Internet Radio consumer segments – the 18-22 year-old demographic – was an intriguing opportunity, to say the least.
At 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 10, Westergren will host a Q&A session with Augustana students to discuss how Internet Radio has revolutionized the music industry. He'll also detail what emerging technology has in store for music consumers in the future.
The Q&A session will be held in Kresge Recital Hall on the campus of Augustana College. Westergren will also hold a Town Hall Meeting at 7 p.m. at the Museum for Visual Arts in Sioux Falls.
Westergren created Pandora in January 2000 and now serves as the Company's chief strategy officer. He received his bachelor's degree from Stanford University, where he studied music theory and composition, but spent most of his time at the Center for Research in Musical Acoustics, a campus think tank focused on the integration of computers and music.
Westergren's most recent endeavor is the Music Genome Project (MGP), an initiative designed to connect artists with listeners who are most likely to enjoy their music through a combination of technology and musicology.

Recursive search examples, pt1: C#
In light of my recent article on recls 100% .NET, I thought I'd do some bits on the recls library: the C/C++ version, and the new .NET version.
First up, let's write a utility that, say, reports the number of C# source files in/under the current directory, excluding the ubiquitous Properties/AssemblyInfo.cs, and reports on the total size of all. We'll write it in C# using recls 100%.NET and in C & C++ using recls. As you'll see, we see a pretty obvious difference in development effort, which probably isn't a surprise. What is a surprise, given the application domain, is there's a substantial performance difference, which I think might be due to the .NET runtime.
Here's the first version of the code:

namespace CSharpSourceFinder
{
 using Recls;

 using System;

 class Program
 {
 static void Main(string[] args)
 {
 int numFiles = 0;
 long totalSize = 0;

 foreach(IEntry entry in FileSearcher.Search(null, "*.cs"))
 {
 if(0 == String.Compare("AssemblyInfo.cs", entry.File, StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
 {
 if(0 == String.Compare(@"Properties\f", entry.DirectoryParts[entry.DirectoryParts.Count - 1], StringComparison.CurrentCultureIgnoreCase))
 {
 continue;
 }
 }

 ++numFiles;
 totalSize += entry.Size;
 }

 Console.Out.WriteLine("{0} file(s); {1} bytes", numFiles, totalSize);
 }
 }
}
This looks good. Unfortunately, when I ran it on in the root directory of my work drive, I (eventually) ended up with a System.UnauthorizedAccessException, thrown when an inaccessible (but non-hidden, non-system) directory was encountered. Now, the directory was created several months ago to test this very behaviour in recls, but that doesn't mean it should not be handled appropriately. To handle this, we need to make a change:

. . .
 foreach(IEntry entry in FileSearcher.Search(null, "*.cs", SearchOptions.IgnoreInaccessibleNodes))
. . .
This now succeeds, and the output (run via a utility that measures process time characteristics) is:
1354 file(s); 6540661 bytes
time: elapsed: 20593ms, kernel: 11796ms, user: 8640ms
This took me less than 10 minutes to write. In the next post, I'll look at the C equivalent.

Island Wonder
A New England family finds shelter on Tortola, 26 years after a fortuitous fishing trip led them to this spot.
More than two decades ago, Dick Friedman and his family traveled to Tortola in the British Virgin Islands. One perfect day, Dick and his son Alex cast their fishing lines near a picturesque bridge joining Frenchman's Cay to the larger island. In the quiet moment, they didn't realize the impact this little journey would have on them in years to come.
For Alex, the intrigue was catching a fish. For Dick, it was the discovery of this mostly untouched spot. He wondered what the property looked like around the corner. "Alex was so excited he made me take him back to that bridge every day," says Dick. Curious about what was on the other side, Dick expanded the daily adventure to include a hike up a nearby logging road. "When we got to the top, the view took my breath away. I had never seen a more beautiful place," he says.
That view, that spot on the map, stayed in the back of Dick's mind for 26 years, surfacing only in wishful thoughts on cold days at home in Massachusetts. It became tangible again when he saw an advertisement in a Sotheby's real-estate guide listing a house for sale on Frenchman's Cay. "It said the home was on the highest point," says Dick. "And all I could think of was the place I visited so many years ago."
So Dick hopped on a plane and headed south. "I had to go and see it," he says. To his amazement, "It sat exactly on the spot where I had stood—the place I imagined having a house all those years," he says. The Caribbean plantation–style home embodied everything he and his wife, Nancy, hoped for in an island getaway—open, airy rooms with high ceilings and the wide porches that wrap the entire house to provide stunning water views. "It is genius in its layout," says Dick. "It has great bones."
But the abandoned property needed some work. The garish color scheme and overdone gingerbread wood trim had to go. The moss-filled pool and forsaken landscape desperately needed attention.
With serendipity on their side, Dick and Nancy were undeterred. After all, these were just cosmetic problems, and they knew they could return the house to its intended grandeur.
Soon after the purchase, 30 workmen arrived to clean up the home so the couple and their young son, Jake, could escape another New England winter. The crew worked furiously from October to December, and Dick, Nancy, and Jake flew in for the holiday.
Quickly adjusting to the new latitude, the family has since remodeled the kitchen, shipped in new furnishings, and added some mini-escapes within the property. There's a hot tub, a new gymnasium and game room, and an outdoor cooking center that overlooks the turquoise harbor.
If they didn't have other responsibilities, the Friedmans might never leave this sanctuary, caressed by cool trade winds that carry the intoxicating smell of jasmine and gardenia across the deck. But because they only spend a few sporadic weeks a year here, they make the home available to others. "If you have a house in the Caribbean, you almost have to rent it," says Nancy. "It keeps it open and keeps the mildew out." Property manager J.C. Pierce ensures that things run smoothly for both guests and homeowners year-round.
Though renters have the option of hiring a chef, the island offers a small but good selection of restaurants and markets. For leisure time, charters and ferries leave daily from the airport, Road Town, or Soper's Hole Wharf & Marina. J.C. connects guests with their favorite pastimes, whether fishing, diving, or just lying in a hammock with an icy-cold Carib in hand.
Once a month, he sends them to a full-moon festival at Bomba Shack, a beachside watering hole that draws people from their boats and other islands. Narrow dirt streets close to accommodate partygoers and vendors at this fantastical celebration. "It's a friendly island, much like a small town where everyone knows each other," says Dick.
The Friedmans relish time spent at their island home. "It's the only place I have ever lived where I see an unobstructed sunrise and sunset. I love that—seeing the cycle of the day," Dick says. Now that he's reclaimed the spot he found so many years ago, Dick and his family don't mind sharing the view.

Eastman School of Music
"A major force in the saxophone world," (American Record Guide) internationally acclaimed saxophonist and recording artist Jonathan Wintringham has been described as "absolutely stunning" and "nothing short of a virtuoso" ('The Sax' Magazine, Japan). "Possessing a confidence and grace that comes from somewhere beyond experience," (Arizona Daily Star) "he phrases with an artistic awareness well beyond his years; and he tackles the postmodernist content of his program with extreme volume shifts [and] daring color changes" (ARG). He has given recitals, masterclasses and residencies throughout the United States, Canada, Mexico, England and Japan. An advocate of contemporary music, Jonathan is constantly working with composers to commission and premiere new works.
As a soloist, Wintringham has received first place awards in numerous competitions including the 2013 Astral Artists National Auditions, the 2013 Music Teachers National Association (MTNA) National Young Artist Competition, the 2011 Arizona State University Concerto Competition, the 2009 Tucson Symphony Orchestra Concerto Competition, the 2009 University of Arizona President's Concerto Competition and the 2008 Tucson Chamber Orchestra Concerto Competition. Other awards include the 2012 North American Saxophone Alliance (NASA) Classical Solo Competition, the 2012 & 2008 MTNA National Chamber Music Competition, the 2012 & 2008 MTNA National Young Artist Competition, the 2008 Yamaha Young Performing Artists Competition and the 2013 William C. Byrd Concerto Competition.
Wintringham has performed alongside many world-renowned musicians including Timothy McAllister, Masato Kumoi, the Masato Kumoi Saxophone Quartet and Kazuhiro Takagi, concertmaster of the Tokyo Symphony Orchestra. In 2012, Jonathan was invited to premiere Alex Orfaly's Divertissement No. 2 as a member of the New World Symphony Orchestra. He has given guest artist recitals and masterclasses at numerous institutions including the London College of Music, Arizona State University, and the University of Arizona and was the first featured Artist in Residence at the Zennor Music Series in Cornwall, England. Jonathan recently became the first classical saxophonist to be featured on American Public Media's Performance Today: Young Artists in Residence, as a representative of the Eastman School of Music. He has been interviewed and invited to perform for several other television and radio shows including FOX News, KLPX, and KUAT Television. His debut CD, Walimai, has been broadcast internationally on England's BBC and Japan's FMN1, and is available on the Equilibrium (Albany) label. Additionally, Jonathan's former award-winning chamber ensemble, The Catalina Quartet, can be heard on AUR's America's Millennium Tribute to Adolphe Sax, Volume XIV presenting the North American premiere recording of Gavin Bryar's Alaric I or II.
In addition to his duo with composer and pianist Michael Djupstrom, Wintringham performs regularly as a member of the Bando/Wintringham Duo. Together with renowned saxophonist and Professor of Saxophone at the Tokyo School of Music and the Kunitachi School of Music, Kuninobu Bando, the Tokyo-based chamber ensemble has received numerous accolades for their international performances since their formation in 2009. Jonathan further served as a member of several recording and award-winning chamber ensembles including the Presidio Saxophone Quartet, the Catalina Saxophone Quartet, the Taleus Saxophone Quartet and the saxophone trio, Trikaya.
Wintringham is currently a teaching assistant and the assistant director of the Eastman Saxophone Project (ESP) at the Eastman School of Music where he is pursuing a Master of Music degree in Saxophone Performance and Literature under the instruction of Chien-Kwan Lin. Holding a Bachelor of Music degree from The University of Arizona, Jonathan's instructors have included Timothy McAllister, Nobuya Sugawa, Masato Kumoi, Kelland Thomas and Asako Inoue. Furthermore, he has performed in masterclass settings for Masataka Hirano, Hitomi Hara, John Sampen, Kenneth Tse and James Umble. He has participated in several of the world's most prestigious fine arts camps including the Hamamatsu International Wind Instrument Academy and Festival in 2008 and 2009. As a recipient of the University of Arizona's Undergraduate Research Grant, Jonathan performed a six-month Tokyo based investigation into the inner workings of the collegiate training systems and musical cultures of Japan.
Wintringham is a Conn-Selmer artist, and plays Selmer (Paris) saxophones exclusively. He is also an Astral Performing Artist and an endorsing artist for MusicMedic.com's RooPads.

Angry Birds Confirmed To Swoop Down In 2016
Here come the Birds! And they'll be CG-animated, in 3-D and - angry? The video game franchise creator Rovio Entertainment is tapping Despicable Me producer John Cohen to produce a planned Angry Birds movie, with former Marvel Studios chairman David Maisel on board as executive producer. Rovio will finance the pic, which is set for Summer 2016.
John Cohen produced Illumination Entertainment/Universal Pictures' Despicable Me in 2010 with Pierre Coffin and Chris Renaud directing, who also took the helm for the 2010 short Despicable Me Presents: Minion Madness. Cohen also worked with Pierre Coffin in the first animated short he produced, Banana. Could the pair or some combination thereof be ready to take flight for Angry Birds?
2010's Despicable Me revolved around a criminal mastermind who uses three orphan girls to hatch his scheme, but is moved by their profound love. Could this signal a less pissed off flock four years from now?
"Rovio will produce and finance the movie outside the studio system and retain full creative control while creating innovative entertainment at the highest level of quality," the company said, adding that it is taking a cue from David Maisel's direction he ushered in at Marvel.
"I'm so excited and honored to be working on this film with Mikael, David, and Rovio's incredibly talented game developers and artists," said Cohen via Rovio's website. "From both an entertainment and strategic perspective, Rovio is at the forefront of game innovation and is trailblazing terrific new ways for Angry Birds fans to interact with these characters. I've personally spent countless hours playing the Angry Birds games over the last few years, which I can now happily justify as research for the movie."
The movie will mark Rovio Entertainment's first move into feature films, though fans are already familiar with those Angry Birds through Rovio's games, books, consumer products and animation. Since they first left the nest in 2009, they have been downloaded over 1 billion times across platforms. Most recently, Angry Birds Star Wars ascended to the stratosphere of the US iPhone charts after two-and-a-half hours in release.
Prior to Illumination, Cohen was VP of Production at Twentieth Century Fox Animation.
What do you think a John Cohen-produced Angry Birds has in store?

Superfamily: Cercopithecoidea
Family: Cercopithecidae
Subfamily: Colobinae
Genus: Pygathrix
Species: P. cinerea, P. nemaeus, P. nigripes
Other names: P. cinerea: P. cenereus,
P. nemaeus cinerea, grey-shanked douc langur, gray-shanked douc langur;
P. nemaeus: Rhinopithecus nemaeus, P. n. nemaeus, douc monkey,

(Spanish); kostymapa, svartbent kostymapa (Swedish); P. nigripes:
P. moi, black-shanked douc langur, black-shanked douc, black-shanked
douc monkey.
Groves (2001; 2005) recognizes three species of douc langurs, subsuming a
former type, P. moi, under P. nigripes, and separating P.
nigripes and P. nemaeus as distinct species. Formerly, P.
cinerea was considered a subspecies of P. nemaeus and even then
was only recently described in 1997 (Nadler 1997; Brandon-Jones et al. 2004).
Douc is Vietnamese for "monkey" (Lippold & Brockman 1974).
The three species of douc langur are each large colobines with a tail about
as long as the rest of the body and legs only a little longer than the arms
(Nadler et al. 2003). The tail has a tuft of hair at the end (Stevens et al.
2008). The nose is flat and the eyes are diagonally slanted, the degree of
which varies between species (Groves 2001; Nadler et al. 2003). Head and body
length in P. nemaeus averages 61.0 cm (24.0 in) (M) and 54.5 cm (21.5
in) (F), in P. nigripes is 59.0 cm (23.2 in) (M) and 54.5 cm (21.5 in)
(F) and in P. cinerea averages 63.0 cm (24.8 in) (M) and 57.0 cm (22.4
in) (F) (Kirkpatrick 1998; Nadler et al. 2003). Males are typically larger than
females (Nadler et al. 2003). In P. nemaeus, males average 11.0 kg
(24.3 lb), while females average 8.44 kg (18.6 lb) (Smith & Jungers 1997).
The three species of douc langur are distinguishable based on pelage color
differences (Nadler et al. 2003). Perhaps most importantly, the three species
are distinguished by the color of their shanks; P. cinereus have grey shanks
(the grey-shanked douc langur), P. nemaeus have red shanks (the
red-shanked douc langur) and P. nigripes have black shanks (the
black-shanked douc langur) (Nadler 1997).
P. cinerea have a gray agouti body, neck, head and arms with dark
gray agouti legs (Groves 2001; Nadler et al. 2003). The belly is whitish-gray
or almost white and the hands and feet are black (Groves 2001; Nadler et al.
2003). The facial skin is yellow-brown, yellow-orange or light brown with a
white mouth and chin with long white whiskers. The throat is white with an
orange ring around the neck (Nadler 1997; Groves 2001; Nadler et al. 2003).
Facial characteristics are similar in P. nemaeus, but they have a dark
agouti belly and white forearms and the eyes slant a bit more than in the other
two species of douc langur. The hind limbs are maroon with black fingers, toes
and thighs (Groves 2001). There are long white hairs ringing the face (Lippold
1977). P. nigripes has darker, blue-gray facial skin. The eyes have
yellow rings around them and slant the least within the genus (Groves 2001;
Nadler et al. 2003). The body, upper arms, and head are both dark gray agouti
with a dark brown agouti ventrum (Groves 2001; Nadler et al. 2003). The back of
the hands are white to the elbow (Nadler et al. 2003).
There can be some variation within species in coloration. For example, in
some populations of P. nigripes, individuals have been seen to possess
reddish coloration on the legs, a trait more typical of P. nemaeus
(Nadler 2008). Further, animals with intermediate traits may be indicative of
natural hybridization as individuals have been seen with traits typical of more
than one Pygathrix species (Lippold & Vu 1995).
All species have a white tail, but P. cinerea and P.
nemaeus have a tassel at the end, while the P. nigripes tail is
longer with a nearly absent tassel (Nadler et al. 2003). Male P.
nemaeus have a pink penis and a white scrotum as do P. cinerea,
while P. nigripes have a blue scrotum and red penis (Nadler et al.
2003). In P. nemaeus, both sexes have a triangle of white pelage
around the base of the tail above which males, but not females, have round white
spots. This feature can be used to determine the sex of individuals (Lippold
Wild douc langurs spend a majority of their time arboreally, moving through
quadrupedal and brachiation locomotion; traveling single-file through
established pathways (Lippold 1998; Nadler et al. 2003). P. nemaeus
are not often seen on the ground, however wild P. nigripes have been
seen on the ground and may spend up to 20% of their day terrestrially (Lippold
1995; 1998; Lippold & Vu 2008; Hoang et al. 2009). P. nemaeus in
captivity primarily move through their environment through brachiation (46%) and
quadrupedal walking and running (Nadler et al. 2003; Byron & Covert 2004).
Wild P. nigripes move quadrupedally (61%), through leaping (17%), by
brachiating (10%), climbing (8%) and dropping (4%) (Rawson 2006). Horizontal
jumps in wild P. nemaeus are also seen, with individuals landing feet
first (Lippold 1998).
In captivity, Pygathrix have lived into their mid-twenties (Weigl 2005).
In general, douc langurs of all species are found in eastern Indochina, east
of the Mekong River; found in Vietnam (P. cinerea, P. nemaeus,
P. nigripes), Laos (P. nemaeus), and Cambodia (P.
nigripes) (Timmins & Duckworth 1999; review in Nadler et al. 2003).
Roughly, from the north to south, the species of Pygathrix are arranged
parapatrically starting with the P. nemaeus, then P. cinerea,
and with P. nigripes at the southern end of the generic distribution
(Nadler et al. 2003). However, the exact boundaries between all species are
unclear and also confounded by the presence of possible hybrid forms and often
large gaps in confirmed populations (Nadler et al. 2003). P. nemaeus
are the only douc langurs found in Laos, and are found as far north as the
center of the country. They range through the central and southern reaches of
the country east into Vietnam and south to the Cambodian border (Timmins &
Duckworth 1999; Nadler et al. 2003). In Vietnam, the northern limit of P.
nemaeus is confirmed as far north as the Pu Mat National Park and south to
the Kon Ka Kinh Nature Reserve, but its limits are unclear (Timmins &
Duckworth 1999; Nadler et al. 2003). P. nigripes occurs as far north
as the Kon Ka Kinh Nature reserve and as far south as the Cat Tien National
park. P. cinerea occurs in Vietnam between the distributions other two
species, and is present or probably present in the Quang Nam, Gia Lai, Quang
Ngai, Binh Dinh, and Kon Tum Provinces (Nadler et al. 2003; Long 2004). The
only species that occurs in Cambodia is P. nigripes, with confirmed
sightings in the Ratanakiri province and the Mondulkiri Province (reviewed in
Nadler et al. 2003).
Both P. nemaeus and P. nigripes occur sympatrically at the
Kon Cha Rang Nature Reserve in the Gia Lai Province, Vietnam (Lippold 1998).
Douc langurs can live sympatrically with a number of other non-human primates as
well. For example, at the Cat Tien National Park in southeastern Vietnam,
P. nigripes, is found with pygmy loris (Nycticebus pygmaeus), macaques
(Macaca mulatta,
M. fascicularis,
M. arctoides), silvered langurs
(Trachypithecus germaini),
and yellow-cheeked crested gibbons (Nomascus gabriellae) (Polet et al. 2004).
It is estimated that there are only 600-700 P. cinerea remaining
(Mittermeier et al. 2007; but see also Ha 2004).
Douc langurs are only found in forest habitats. These include old-growth and
secondary broadleaf evergreen forest, montane rainforest, wet/dry forests,
tropical and semi-tropical evergreen rainforest, submontane and montane
evergreen forest, secondary moist forest, monsoon forests, valley forests,
sclerophyll evergreen forest, semi-evergreen forest, seasonal lowland forests,
and mixed semi-evergreen, mixed humid evergreen forest, and mixed deciduous
forest (Lippold 1995; 1998; 1999; Timmins & Duckworth 1999; Lippold & Vu
2002; Ha 2007; Hoang et al. 2009). Douc langurs may also be able to survive in
more heavily disturbed forest habitats as well (Ha Thang Long pers comm. cited
in Nadler et al. 2003). There are reports of P. nigripes as well as
P. nemaeus as high as 1500 meters (4921.3 feet) above sea level and as
low as sea level (Eames & Robson 1993; Timmins & Duckworth 1999; Nadler
et al. 2003; Ha 2007). Reports at very low altitudes are rare, however, this is
nearly meaningless as much suitable habitat at lower altitudes has been cleared
and douc langur rarity may be an artifact of extensive human land use and forest
clearance (Timmins & Duckworth 1999).
At Phuoc Binh, a douc langur study site in south Vietnam, the average
rainfall is over 200 cm (78.7 in), with average highs at 38.8°C (101.8 °F)
and lows at 14.2°C (57.6 °F) (Hoang et al. 2009). Across Vietnam (a
habitat of all three Pygathrix species), average temperatures range from
27°C (80.6 °F) in south Vietnam grading to an average of 21°C (69.8
°F) in the north of the country. Mountainous areas typically receive more
rainfall than in the rest of the country and there are three yearly monsoon
seasons (Lippold 1998).
Douc langurs are herbivorous and predominately folivorous (Nadler et al.
2003). In one study in south Vietnam, P. nigripes consumed a range of
152 species of plant, with leaves (especially young leaves) predominating in all
seasons, and a lesser reliance on fruit and flowers (Hoang et al. 2009). At
this study site on a year-round basis, P. nigripes consumed leaves
(54.6%), fruits (19.8%), seeds (9.6%), flowers (14.6%), and other foods (1.5%).
Food consumption changed somewhat between the wet and dry seasons, with more
fruit eaten in the wet season than in the dry, and correspondingly fewer flowers
and leaves in the wet season than in the dry season (Hoang et al. 2009). The
species also drinks water while on the ground (Nadler 2008). P.
nemaeus mostly eat leaves (especially newly grown), but also eat buds,
flowers and fruit (Lippold 1977; Pham 1993a; Lippold 1998). Based on feeding
time, P. nemaeus eat leaves (82%), fruit and seeds (14%), and flowers
(4%) (Lippold 1998). Animal foods are not eaten (Lippold 1977; 1998).
Wild P. nigripes spend their days on average resting (62%), feeding
(27%), traveling (6%), engaged in social behavior (3%) and in other activities
(2%). There are peaks in activity, including feeding and traveling early and
late in the day (Rawson 2006). Social behaviors include grooming, inter-group
aggression, copulation and allomothering (Rawson 2006).
In captivity, P. nemaeus spend their day resting and sleeping (54%)
and feeding (23%) (Schwitzer et al. 2002). In the wild, most of the P.
nemaeus day is spent moving between food sources and eating, with time also
spent sleeping, grooming, or playing (Lippold 1999).
The home range of P. nemaeus is estimated at 1.5-3.5 km² (0.6-1.4
mi²) (Pham 1993b cited in Kirkpatrick 1998).
There is some evidence that P. nemaeus sleeps in larger trees with a
thick canopy (Pham et al. 2000 cited in Nadler et al. 2003). Sleeping trees are
entered at dusk and are not exited until dawn (Lippold 1999). In captivity,
P. nemaeus sleep huddled together (Lippold & Brockman 1974).
More than one species of douc langur may live sympatrically, as is the case
at Kong Cha Rang, Vietnam, where P. nemaeus and P. nigripes
are both found (Lippold 1995).

Careful towns of the world out there… before you spend lots of money on new or revamped libraries. Unless you are in a city, or near a walkable and vibrant town center, they are a tough sell, even with cheap $3.50/gasoline. And how long will that last?
Here's the math for me in suburban MA:
– Distance to library: 5.2 miles. 10.4 miles round trip
– Our minivan — let's say I get 20.8 MPG to make the math simple.
So that's:
10.4 miles * 1/20.8 MPG * $3.50 $/gallon = $1.75 per trip assuming there is no overlap with other errands, which is likely given the route.
And that's just the cost of the gas of course. If you use the ~$0.50/mi that the US government uses for taxes for business mileage (accounting for the full cost of ownership) then that's 10.4 miles * $0.50/mi = $5.20 per trip.
And then add in the cost of the time. Let's say 20 minutes of driving.
It's a tough sell. Not just the library. All of suburbia. It's ultimately kinda in serious doo-doo, ain't it? James Howard Kunstler is probably on to something.
Counter-points and followups:
1) I say all the above as someone who has LOVED libraries in the past. But I guess the difference was: 1) that was pre-interweb and 2) that was libraries I walked to or rode my bike to (the Amherst Jones Library, and the UMass/Amherst Dubois library)
2) I am fond of the idea of the library being a "town center" that is more about ideas and people than being about media (paper or digital). Related concepts are Sudbury Schools, the Transition Town movement (tool sharing, etc), Cohousing.
3) The article linked below talks about "Library as Platform" which to me is basically acknowledging that there are increasing numbers of private services we use which "out do" libraries in terms of connecting us with media. Amazon. Google Books. Goodreads. "The Library" *could* do all of that. But how?
4) PS. And what about all those duplicate public school libraries! What a shame! What if all the schools in town were clustered around the town's libraries and they all shared! I know, I know… one can't turn back the clock on sprawling suburban development. It's just sorta a shame.
5) Speaking of poorly designed public resources… I'll talk about the placement and design of playgrounds sometime soon. Ugh. Almost always another huge missed opportunity. But there are some good ones!

It's the Easter Bunn–uh…Wallaby?
Spring has finally sprung, and with it our interview with everyone's childhood favorite, the Easter Bunny.
Determined to get an interview with this elusive holiday icon, I cornered him in his underground den and discovered something I'd not expected. I open today's interview with the question that should have been asked ages ago:
HE: Say…you aren't really a bunny, are you?
EB: Well Maybe it is time to come clean, if you wanna call me a Bunny go ahead but being a Bunny is not very useful when you deliver eggs is it! I am a Wallaby, you see, I can put all the eggs in my pouch and then I don't have to go back and forth with my basket. I am all about convenience, you know what I mean.
HE: What made you decide to color and hide eggs?
EB: Shots. In my College years (I did not do much studying) my friends and I enjoyed colorful shots. So I now pick colors by having a shot, coloring an egg, different coloured shot, and different colored eggs. The hiding part is a long story about my friend and his … well it's a long story.
HE: How do you feel about children eating chocolate likenesses of you?
EB: As we have just been through, I am not a Bunny, never will be because it will never be practical! So the Kiddywinks can eat as many chocolate bunnies as they please.
HE: How do you feel about sharing a holiday with Jesus?
EB: My mum once told me that story, I did not really understand it, and I mean it's a bit gloomy for a Holiday all about the Kids, you know? Plus to me, chocolate crosses would be awful to make and color, all that blood and gore is for Halloween, not my holiday.
HE: Is there more than one Easter Bunny?
HE: Did you want to be an Easter Bunny when you were a kid…uh, a joey?
EB: No, as I have said I went to College, I just didn't do well, this was my fall back, I wanted to be a Football Mascot but I do not think there is much call for a Wallaby, maybe if I was a Dolphin or A Ram! I mean have you ever heard of a Wallaby before today?! Do you even know what I look like?!
HE: What do you do when you aren't hiding eggs?
EB: Nothing, I drink, I try and think of new ideas for next year but with 5 joeys at home and one on the way, thinking does not happen a lot.
Thank you, Easter Bun–Wallaby, for this timely and insightful interview. Return April 22nd as we celebrate Earth Day with none other that Gaia herself!

First thing you need to remember that every photo or digital artwork must have 1 point that catches the viewer's attention.
It can be (and mostly is) face or the eyes, but it can also be any other spot, that is the leitmotif of the canvas. When having too many points that catch the visitor's attention, your artwork loses it's charm and simply may lack the zest it would otherwise have with less accents on the canvas. So first thing you need to remember that in art, mostly, less is more. Second thing to bear in mind is the depth of field. When you concentrate your look on a certain point, the rest becomes a little blurred in your vision, especially if the rest of the objects lay far behind. This is what we call — depth of field. In other words, human face cannot be just as sharp on the picture, as the background house that appears to be a few miles behind the figure.
Although this isn't always true and we have different variations of art (and sometimes the unusual is the best looking surreal concept!) but I am giving this little info so you will understand WHY we blur certain points and why we play with light the way we do, in this Photoshop Tutorial.
Get started.
We were working on a rather big canvas, we started with 1024px × 764px new layer as these were the dimensions of our base image. However you may feel more comfortable working with smaller or bigger images.
Take the image with fence and sand and paste it unto your Canvas:
Using the Rectangular Marquee Tool, crop out and delete the sky and water upper half of the layer:
Don't worry about the rough unnatural layer, we will work this out a bit later.
The next step is take the image with sky (from our ingredients list), and paste it on top of the previous layer with sand. Using Eraser Tool with a small soft brush, remove the lower part so that you will have an image consisting from sky and sand, just as you see below:
The way our image looks now, it's very far yet from been an organically blended scene, so let's start blending the layers into one another.
To make the sand less cheery, the easiest way is to simply match colors with the clouds, so this is exactly what we are going to do. While the sand layer is selected, go to Image >> Adjustments >> Match Color and apply the following settings:
if you have already unselected, select the layer with sand again, and go to Curves. Using the RGB channel, darken the image by dragging the curve down somewhere in the middle. We used Output: 113 and Input:143.

Forum Post: OCCUPYMEDIA! SURVEY - please participate
Posted 7 years ago on Nov. 19, 2012, 6:53 p.m. EST by fuchschristian
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
There is a lot of talk about media use in contemporary occupations, protests, social movements and revolutions - especially concerning online and social media. Some talk about Twitter or Facebook revolutions, others say that such media do not have real importance because protests take place on streets and squares. All of this is highly speculative. The question is: What is the real role of media in contemporary occupations, revolutions and protests? We can only find this out by conducting some research about this question. And this is exactly the purpose of this survey. You can contribute to finding answers to this important question by completing an online questionnaire. https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/WG7JRG2

Conservation and Environment in Kenya: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2015
With the end of the short rains and the onset of the dry season, the vegetation has started to dry up. This means less moisture in the plants which most animals rely on for water. The artificial waterholes distributed in the conservancy are jam-packed with wildlife. The one next to our camp was occupied day and night by wildlife coming drink, one animal after the other as well as warthogs seen leaping in and out after a swim.
Monthly Updates from 2014
With the onset of short rains the vegetation turns lush green and the colours of the savannah gradually move from faded green to green. This is definitely good for the environment but it also triggers the growth of invasive species that are dominant in the soil waiting for the right moment (presence of moisture) to sprout rapidly, flower, fruit and disperse seeds.
Projects Abroad partnered with Kigio Wildlife Conservancy (KWC) with the main objective of ensuring that wildlife are protected and conserved for future generations. This requires a high focus with regards to sustainable scientific, cultural, aesthetic and economic gains that are in accordance with the Wildlife Act (Cap. 376).
The months of June and July have been busy but very rewarding thanks to a dedicated team of volunteers with one mission and vision to conserve. Our focus is still on the "successful management of all wildlife species population including those managed for maximum sustained breeding" where "avoidance of overpopulation will depend on uninterrupted and detailed population monitoring".
The Rothschild's giraffe population occurs in Kenya and Uganda with some population in South Sudan. In Kenya they occur outside their natural range, therefore the need of constant monitoring to ensure the survival of this species in the remaining stronghold.
The Conservation project in Kenya has been moving from strength to strength with the support of a dedicated team of volunteers and staff. The ongoing giraffe research, in partnership with the Giraffe Research and Conservation Trust (GRCT), is going well with 25 giraffe surveys already totalling to 201 and 156 giraffe observations in the month of February and March respectively.

Families March in Honor Of Martin Luther King Jr.
A small but dedicated crowd came to Jefferson Elementary School in North Berkeley early Monday morning to make the short trek over to King Middle School for Berkeley's first-ever march to celebrate Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday—at least in recent history.
More than 250 students and their parents gathered in King's auditorium to honor one of the greatest civil rights activists, who was killed 41 years ago in Memphis, Tenn., and spoke about their dreams and aspirations for their family and their country, something Dr. King had also talked about in his famous "I Have a Dream" speech. King would have been 80 years old this year.
The confluence of the federal holiday celebrating Dr. King's birthday with the eve of the inauguration of a black man as the 44th president of the United States, Barack Obama, made the occasion even more special for those who attended.
Middle schoolers carried posters of Dr. King and Obama standing side by side while parents held "I Have a Dream" and "Yes We Can!" placards on both hands.
Every speech, every anecdote either started or ended with the new president's name, and talked about how he had brought hope to the lives of millions.
"Dr. King to Barack Obama," said Ann Williams, vice-president of the King PTA, one of the organizers of the march. "Today we are rejoicing in hope, the possibilities and the new."
Frustrated by the lack of a parade or any public celebration on MLK Jr. Day in Berkeley, Williams said that she and Marissa Saunders, program director for the California College Prep Academy in Berkeley, had decided to take matters in their own hands.
"We were on the bus to Sacramento six years ago to protest the budget cuts and we were wondering why we didn't have any kind of a march in Berkeley," she said. "Every year a group of us would say 'OK who's going to do it?' but nothing ever happened. When Obama won, I knew that I just had to do something this year. We are starting small but hope to grow over the next years to report each year how we have 'changed' and grown in our Berkeley community."
Although Williams and Saunders started planning the event before Christmas break, everything else—including invitations to the different PTAs to participate—was put together two weeks ago.
At the end of Cragmont Elementary School fifth-grader Troy Gilder's heart-rending solo performance of "This Little Light," Alana Banks, a ninth-grader from the California College Prep Academy, spoke about what change meant to her.
"Obama '09 is a bright future to me," she said, as the audience cheered her on. "It proves the fact that I can do anything. Go to the moon, achieve King's dream—even fly without wings. I want to spread love not animosity, bring the world to unity, respect all the values of equality. We can all do it if we believe in his dream."
Michael Miller of United in Action spoke about the relevance of Vision 2020—a citywide effort to end the achievement gap—in the lives of the present generation.
"For the United States to be competent in the world, our kids need the best education they can get," he said. "What better place to have the kickoff than here today."
Berkeley Board of Education member Beatriz Levya-Cutler read aloud from Obama's open letter to his two daughters, Malia and Sasha, in which he says that he ran for president because of what he wants for them and for every child in this nation—starting with good schools, higher education standards, doing away with barriers in academic achievement and the opportunity to go to college, get a good job and ultimately retire with dignity.
"I want all our children to go to schools worthy of their potential—schools that challenge them, inspire them, and instill in them a sense of wonder about the world around them," Obama wrote in the letter.
"This is what we want for our children," Levya-Cutler said to applause. "Safety and the opportunity to live life to the fullest."
Pastor Michael McBride of Berkeley Organizing Congregations for Action described the moment as a very special time in history, a period which would inspire generations of young people after him.
"When I was young, It was hard to imagine a black person running for president," McBride, who is soon going to become a father, said. "But my little baby will grow up with the image of a black president. But this does not signal the end of any kind of work we have to do. There is so much to be done in the city and the schools."
Throughout the day in Berkeley, ordinary citizens rolled up their sleeves and responded to Obama's call for a day of action as a way of paying homage to Dr. King's dedication to public service by cleaning streets and organizing food drives across the city.
Neighbors picked up trash around Le Conte Elementary School, Berkeley High School, Strawberry Creek and the Halcyon neighborhood, among others, and participated in gathering milk and food at Berkeley Bowl and Whole Foods for the less fortunate.

The Simplest Way To Keep Your Distributed Software Project On TrackEverything You Need (And Nothing You Don't) for Better Project Visibility and Team Communication
ExtremePlanner is a browser-based Agile project management solution for modern software development teams that work from different locations. Unlike traditional project management tools that focus primarily on task lists, ExtremePlanner concentrates on planning and tracking the progress of features (or user stories) that have actual business value to customers.
- Designed specifically to support Agile methods including Scrum and XP
- Supports the whole team: project managers, developers, QA, tech support, and stakeholders
- Estimate and plan software releases with drag and drop ease
- Manage features, defects, test cases and development tasks in one place
- Integrated issue tracking to manage customer requests from start to finish
- Stay on top of the latest changes with email notifications and project activity reports
I evaluated every tool I could find and I found that each tool had certain features that were better than the competitors, but after using each product a minimum of two weeks, ExtremePlanner was tops in the features that mattered.
Another plus to me was the features ExtremePlanner doesn't have. Several of the competing products are cumbersome and they try to do too much. This is supposed to be agile development!

So on Sunday I wound up helping out at the video store and as Josh had his super-stylish netbook with him (I want one!) I got to pick the movie. We wound up watching this:
1. One day he's going to have a girlfriend who is going to want him to sit through chick-flicks so he might as well get used to it now (not bad for an 18-year-old!)
Josh was quite nice about letting me watch it, and by halfway into it he was watching as much as I was! He explained it in two ways:
2. Apparently guys like chick-flicks as much as girls, they just won't admit it. I'm not so sure I agree with that, but anyway...
All I can say about the movie is that I am SO glad I can laugh at myself! I'm typically not the kind of girl who behaves like that, but I could identify quite strongly with some of the stuff going on. There were moments that I cringed and hid my face a little bit though. And I agree, girls are the worst friends sometimes!
I mean, why is it that we have to tell our friends what they want to hear? And we get upset when friends are actually honest... I'm lucky in that my friends are mostly relatively honest with me, and I know who I can trust when it comes to opinions, but at the same time I know that sometimes I will ask people for an opinion, and I'll keep asking different people until I get told what I want to hear...
I suppose we're a bit doomed to pretend until 'the real thing' comes along. I kind of liked that take home message, that maybe YOU are what you're looking for. I'd hate to be someone who needed a guy to feel complete, and sometimes staying in a relationship because you don't know what to do otherwise can be the worst thing ever!
What do you know, I may just be female after all!
Does that mean next time I meet someone I won't: check my phone constantly, worry about missing a call if I'm in the shower and then not answer it if it does ring because I'm too worried about what I might say?
I'll do my best! And at least I know I'm not alone! And if the worst comes to the worst, I have friends who will tell me that he's:
- Lost my number
- Moved to Guatemala
- Is afraid to phone
- Is worrying about what to say
- Doesn't want to call too early
- Is afraid he left it too late
- Or my favourite: He's insecure because you're so wonderful!
Girls are dangerous friends, but I love them anyway!

Colombia's Mennonite churches are calling on congregations in Canada and the United States to join together in a unified cry for justice, peace and healing in the war-torn South American country.
Thousands of people are dying and millions are left homeless as government forces, paramilitary groups and guerrillas vie for power and territory in Colombia. According to the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Human Affairs, Colombia faces the largest humanitarian catastrophe in the hemisphere.
Colombian Mennonite churches are asking churches in Canada and the United States to come together on 19 April and join them in worship, reflection and prayer for victims, perpetrators and peacemakers, as they did last year.
There will also be acts of public witness on 20 April involving the sharing of stories, speaking with government officials, the holding of public vigils and other advocacy activities.
Mennonite Central Committee (MCC), the North American inter-church relief, development and peace agency - is providing an online packet of worship resources and advocacy material – including prayers, a bulletin insert and a sample letter to lawmakers – at www.mcc.org/us/washington/days.
Additional articles and material about Colombia can be found at www.mcc.org/columbia
Colombia is home to 4 million internally displaced persons, the highest number in the western hemisphere. The highest rate of displacement since 1985 occurred in the last four months of 2008, despite negotiations between the government and the paramilitary groups. More than 270,000 people were forced from their homes because of the violence, meaning an average of 1,500 people fled daily.
The country has a high number of killings – some 2,500 to 3,000 a year; four decades of armed conflict; and grave violations of humanitarian law. Approximately 97 percent of the crimes go unpunished. There is an inequitable distribution of wealth with two-thirds of the population living in poverty, while a small portion has an exorbitant amount of wealth. These economic injustices exacerbate the conflict.
Human rights workers are concerned that as paramilitary groups demobilize, they are forming other armed groups. Peace and justice workers, including Mennonites, are asking for a well-monitored process of reconciliation.
The latest human rights report, "A Prophetic Call," compiled by MCC partner organizations Justapaz and the Commission for Restoration, Life and Peace, has just been released. It documents more than 300 violations against church leaders in 2007.
Church members are also among the 4 million people who have been forced to flee. Churches urge a collective call for a just peace and an end to violence and inequity.

The holiday shopping season is upon us once again.
In the quest to find just the right gifts, seeking out bargains is part of the fun. When the economy is a bit sluggish, stretching those dollars budgeted for gift-giving is also a necessity for many people.
Nobody likes to waste money, but shoppers should give careful consideration to where the dollars they spend wind up. There are important reasons to opt for purchases at or through local merchants whenever possible. That makes good sense even if it isn't always the absolutely cheapest option.
Keeping area businesses thriving is more than just a matter of convenience. These enterprises help keep life good here for all of us by providing jobs, supporting local charitable endeavors and, of course, paying taxes that help support schools and important government services.
It's also the case that local merchants often offer products that are uniquely representative of our state and region. Such gifts can turn out to be especially memorable. Additionally, since the folks who staff local commercial enterprises are our friends and neighbors, they are likely to be especially helping when shopping advice is needed.
Everyone who lives here has a stake in this community's well-being. Supporting local businesses during the holidays - and all year round - is good for your hometown's future - and yours.

There is no other way to put it: This is the most reckless drift video I've ever seen outside the Arabian Peninsula.
It's in traffic. In Europe. In an M5. Insane. And idiotic.
The driver, Giorgi Tevzadze, is from Georgia, a small Eastern European country that was in the Soviet Union. He is also apparently a nutjob with no concern for anybody's safety around him.
How he doesn't crash into every single person in this town is beyond me. Even though he doesn't, this is still monumentally stupid. The video says not to try this at home. In fact, here's the disclaimer:
We(including the driver) agree that driving on public roads like that is terribly dangerous and can lead to the worst consequences! so please DO NOT TRY TO DO what you see in this video! We are not going to race in streets like these anymore! But still this is a very beautifull video!!!
Yes, it is incredibly exciting. No, it's not smart. No, they should never do it again.
(Hat Tip to Brian!)

The campfire flickered.
They all sat watching
And picking at lice
And staring in the dark.
One ventured, plaintive:
A wondering nightsong.
Time doesn't exist
It's going by
It doesn't exist
I don't know why
It's running out --
It doesn't exist.
To the east, a pearly
Light was breaking
Against the planar arms
Of the trees beyond the clearing.
Once more it was going by.
No vote was taken.
