Bit by the Cache
While profiling the parallel list operators for Heron I kept running into some really unsettling results. Only getting 25-40% increase in speed for even the most trivially parallelizable computations, on my dual-core machine. The most likely culprit: the cache.
Optimizing multi-threaded code can be a bit tricky if you aren't a low-level assembler junky. After profiling the heck out of my applications and doing tons of experiments, I just couldn't squeeze the maximum theoretical performance out of my dual-core machine for the most trivial cases.
It turns out that I am doing a really bad job of managing my cache. For example I had a 32 megabyte array which I was processing simultaneously in two chunks. One core would work on the beginning, and the other core in the middle.

I am Mike Cassidy, and this is a small portion of my collection. I enjoy the unusual, as well as the Matchbox items or Redlines... There's a lot of fun in the finding a sacred find such as a dinky jr car or a promo at a flea market. I would enjoy feedback from other collectors. This is not so much a business but a passion. Does anyone know about a Hoda 1/25ish scale plastic race car I just found? Looks like a 50's Ferrari or Jag. I love husky (corgi jr), early matchbox, small scale meccano vehicles and some pressed steel/tin. Mostly, Promo or screw bottom cars are a favorite. Call me with questions. I would love to have people in the area view my collection (people who know what they are looking at rather than friends/family who see me as an old toy hoarder). -Mike Cassidy 302-463-0092 cell

Did I mention you have to take the ferry across as there are no vehicles allowed on the island? Yes, everyone who lives there does their shopping, etc. via boat. The ferries do allow visitors to take their bikes on the ferry, or there are bikes available to rent on the island.
My hubby and I rented a bicycle built for 2 (I always thought that was so romantic!) and rode round around the island - it's only an eight mile trip. (Let's just say that was probably the ONLY time he has been totally in charge - I spent the entire time staring at his back!)
Okay, that was an exaggeration!
There are so many beautiful homes, cottages, gardens, specialty shops, Ft. Mackinac, churches, rock formations, scenic views, the infamous Grand Hotel and many, many shops for the tourist - including some of the best home-made fudge around.
Please visit Mary at Little Red House for more lovely mosaics!

to Lesson Plans on World War II
The Bay Area is the ideal learning laboratory to bring the lessons of the World War II era home to students in a tangible way. Numerous schools and diverse populations exist in close proximity to places of interest in terms of the social, ethnic and military stories of the time. Many of the places included in this travel itinerary make ideal field trips that reinforce the lessons of the classroom. Whether you are able to visit the actual places or their websites, the lesson plans highlighted in this section offer excellent ways to bring meaning to the era by association with tangible places. They also provide an opportunity to emphasize important subjects, such as the wartime internment of Japanese Americans that are not yet well represented by places listed in the National Register located in the Bay Area. So whether you are looking for specific activities to teach politics, social trends, economics or military history, these lesson plans offer a sample of the very best the web has to offer.

Selected Bibliography for San Francisco Bay Area and World War II
The literature of World War II is vast, wide and deep. The catalog of the San Francisco Public Library contains 1,630 subject headings under the main heading of World War, 1939-1945. Wading through this literature is sometimes daunting for those looking for specific kinds of materials. The following selections highlight works that the authors used to develop this website, as well as those that offer more breadth and content for those who want different kinds of information. In terms of literature on the Home Front in the Bay Area, we especially recommend Roger W. Lotchin's The Bad City in the Good War, Marilynn S. Johnson's The Second Gold Rush, and Albert S. Broussard's Black San Francisco. A little further afield, Kevin Starr's Embattled Dreams is an excellent examination of California in the decade of the 1940s. And Richard Lingeman's Don't You Know There's A War On? is a classic and lively description of the Home Front with a nationwide sweep. The internment of Japanese Americans inspired a great deal of writing in many genres: historical context, legal analysis and personal memoir. Among the best of the latter are Jeanne Watkasuki Huston's Farewell to Manzanar and Yoshiko Uchida's Journey to Topaz. An unforgettable novel on the subject, removed from the Bay Area geographically but still relevant, is David Guterson's Snow Falling On Cedars, which demonstrates how the internment affected all the citizens of the area, not just those of Japanese ancestry. There is no dearth of military histories of World War II, but two of those that focus on the Bay Area in fascinating detail are Brian B. Chin's Artillery at the Golden Gate and John A. Martini's Alcatraz at War.

Bath Ovals are all-butter, large, crisp, neutral flavored biscuits for cheese. Sometimes they are known as "Bath Oliver Biscuits" after their creator Dr. William Oliver. He created these large sugar-free biscuits in the 1750's for his patients who came to Bath, England, to take in the spa waters. Originally, patients would receive a "bath bun" which was a sugary, butter pastry. Unfortunately, it was too rich for rheumatic patients, so the the classic Bath Oliver Biscuit was born! The secret recipe nearly died with Dr William Oliver, but, luckily, he confided the recipe to his coachman who opened a bakery after the doctor's passing.
In their cheese shop based in Bath, England, The Fine Cheese Co. first began making their own premium line of crackers after wondering why there are so many great cheeses, and so few great crackers to go with them. To that end, they've developed their English line, a neutral selection of crackers that don't impose themselves on the cheeses.

Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na lyrics and translation: Kabhi Kabhi Aditi
...Kabhi Kabhi Aditi is undoubtedly one of the most popular songs from this soundtrack (although I like Kabhi To Hogi also by Rashid Ali more -- see lyrics and translation in this post). The second trailer of the film featured the song (watch it in this post or download from the official film website at www.jaanetu.com). Watch Aamir Khan hum the tune in this video from the music launch.
Here are the lyrics I transcribed, and alongside it my attempted translation. Here are posts related to the film, including trailers, interviews, and translations of the rest of the songs, etc.

Hey! Your site is such a great discovery. I am learning Hindi at the moment (even though where I live in Britain there is no-one to practise it on!) I love the songs from the films and there are other sites that offer translations - but none that do so FAST like this. I am listening to the music from JTYJN everyday and now I will be able to sing along too, with meaning.
I am an English teacher, and I think your translations are really good, and could stand alone. The footnotes are brilliant too. Thanks again. I shall be back.

Hi Joss: Thank you for visiting, and glad to know you are enjoying the JTYJN soundtrack! It is wonderful that you are learning Hindi, and I salute your efforts! I am most humbled by your kind words, which mean a lot coming from a teacher of the language. Thank you, and good luck!

Sharon Stone reportedly won a restraining order Thursday from a man who cops said broke into the "Basic Instinct" star's Los Angeles home earlier this month and bizarrely claimed it as his own.
Bradley Gooden told cops he was the son of Hillary Clinton, had penned "The King's Speech" at age two and had traveled from Ohio to California because Clinton had bought Stone's house expressly for him, E! News reported, citing court documents.
Cops described Gooden, 38, as delusional and "possibly schizophrenic," E! reported.
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Stone said in court papers the mom of three was living "in fear" and Gooden's actions were "seriously alarming, annoying and harassing me."
After being sent to a psych ward, Gooden was released to a halfway house on Monday, according to reports.
The next hearing on extending Stone's 100-yard restraining order is set for March 9, Reuters reported.

Jim Green's guide to Pai Gow Poker
Jim Green offers his wisdom on Pai Gaw Poker Written by Jim Green
Like pretty much every casino game, you start by ponying up your wager. If you win you get 1.95 times your bet back. A tie (which happens quite a lot) returns your wager and if you lose the casino keeps your money. The large amount of ties in this game mean you can bet bigger than you would at blackjack (generating more wagering action for the casino and clearing your bonus while still looking like a good customer).
You get seven cards and have to arrange them into a five card and a two card hand.

Spy-Camera Robot Penguins Infiltrate Bird Colonies
A BBC documentary team unleashed 50 spycams into penguin colonies, including cameras that served as eyes for robotic penguins, to capture stunning close-up footage of the unusual birds.
James Bond and robotic spy-camera penguins have a lot in common. They both wear tuxedos and they both sneak into precarious places to do spy work. The robot penguins were unleashed by John Downer Productions for an up-close BBC documentary look at penguin life.
"Penguins: Spy in the Huddle" documents nearly a year hanging out with penguins through the surrogate eyes of 50 different spycams. Some of the spycams were disguised as chunks of snow or small boulders, but the most adorable cameras were those in the guise of robotic penguins.
The production team visited with several different kinds of penguins, spawning the creation of the RockhopperCam, EmperorCam, and HumboldtCam. Each fake bird had cameras for eyes.
The RockhopperCam is particularly impressive. The bipedal penguin-bot features 20 degrees of freedom of movement and gyro/accelerometer sensors. It can waddle over challenging terrain and pick itself up if it falls over. The producers say it was so realistic, some of the penguins accepted it as part of their colony.

Peter Shields was Phoebe (Conrad) Skinner's grandfather: her mother's father. See the entry "Orlando's Grandmother, Phoebe Conrad" and for more on Peter Shields' adventures see http://duskcamp.itgo.com/Shields.htm
We know Peter Shields was christened on Jan 26, 1756 in Lanchester, Durham, England. His parents had lived in Ireland, maybe they were Irish.
Peter came to America as a British soldier during the American Revolution and served under General Burgoyne. When Burgoyne surrendered at Saratoga Peter and his fellow English and Hessian soldiers were marched to Cambridge, Massachusits and then to a POW camp in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Many of the Hessians deserted as they passed through the German communities in Pennsylvania. The English prisoners of war also wondered what they were fighting for, and chose to join the colonies and fight for freedom. Peter was one of those. He deserted the British and served in the Continental Army and witnessed the surrender of General Cornwallis at Yorktown, Va. in 1781.
In return for his military service, Peter was granted 70 acres of land in Hardy County Va. April 2, 1783. He married Elizabeth Singleton in Hardy County about 1783 on North Mill Creek
and they lived there until about 1807 when they moved to Salt Lick in what is now Braxton County.
All the Conrads and Skinners of Orlando, among many others, descend through Peter Shields.

RICHMOND – As the Nippersink District 2 school board weighed whether to issue a tax abatement, discussion centered on whether the district could afford to give back money and still meet all of its goals.
It can, Superintendent Dan Oest said.
But board member Mindy Ross said she still isn't comfortable and that she wants to know what "all" means when some members said they think the district can "do it all."
She pointed to maintenance projects such as security upgrades, replacing doors and sinks, and replacing some ventilation systems to include air conditioning. Ross said the list "may only be scratching the surface," adding that it doesn't address the district's technology goals.
The projects add up to about $800,000, board Secretary Pierre Langlois said.
There is more than $1 million in the operations and maintenance fund, board member Sue Maurer said.
The district has $10.4 million in reserve, Maurer said, and has suggested a $3 million abatement. She is not, however, stuck on that number, she said.
Other board members and parents who spoke at the meeting addressed security concerns and bringing back the foreign language program and other curriculum improvements.
The district is addressing some such concerns.
A survey will go out to staff and parents to gauge interest in a foreign language program and at what grade level it should be started. D-2 also has been researching the cost of security improvements, Oest said.
The board has been working to bring back some
programs that were cut when the district was in financial straits. It was about $2.1 million in debt in 2004, according to records.
Board member Matt Johnson agreed with Ross in that he, too, would like to see a more comprehensive plan.
Ross also proposed a facilities audit to get a better picture of when things will need to be replaced and the costs. She said she would need such information to vote for a tax abatement, and because she doesn't expect answers by an early March deadline, she likely will vote no.
Johnson essentially is at the same point, he said.
Two other board members – Langlois and Board Vice President Sharon Bianchini – said they need time to think over an abatement and asked that a decision be put off until closer to the deadline.

I agree with jonlevy. You should receive an accredited degree even if it just a masters. A degree without accreditation will not get you anywhere. It will waste your money and you won't be any better of than you were before.
An executive JD in my opinion is suspect. While Taft and Concord offer EJDs, I would question if those are actually regionally accredited degrees, the Taft one is for sure not. And real attorneys will laugh their asses off at you when your back is turned.
Not if you had to work with "real" attorneys. You would be viewed as some sort of charlatan.

- About USCCB
The Gospel of Christ and the teachings of his Church guide the work of the USCCB. The work of the Conference is rooted in three general mission goals and organized into three key areas of responsibility.
Three Key Areas of Responsibility To accomplish both the general mission goals and priority goals for a given planning cycle, the bishops choose to focus their attention and work on a number of mission responsibilities, mission relationships, and administrative tasks
At any time, the bishops may be asked to address and respond to a variety of issues and concerns that affect the life of the Church both within the church community and within contemporary society. Such issues may be specific and transitory and may require a limited commitment of time and resources. Their goals are short-term and will be addressed, implemented, and evaluated in a five-year cycle.
This third area comprises responsibilities that support the mission responsibilities and relationships.
Based on the goals of the USCCB, the bishops address and respond to a variety of issues and concerns that affect the life of the Church both within the church community and within contemporary society.
These issues and concerns:
Significant issues or responsibilities are those that impact a sizable number of bishops and/or directly affect a number of dioceses. Significant issues typically require a collective and unified response or approach from the episcopal conference.
Each standing committee of the Conference is given a mandate based on the goals of the USCCB with corresponding responsibilities and relationships to address how the committee fulfills its mission in relationship to the overall goals of the USCCB. The bishops exercise leadership and undertake specific issues, responsibilities, and initiatives through various organizational structures, including standing committees and permanent and ad hoc work groups, and with the collaboration and assistance of staff and consultants. They also draw on the regional structure and the provinces and collaborate with national Catholic organizations, movements, and associations.
In carrying out their respective mandates, committees and work groups strive to respond to the mission of the Conference as a total body. In addressing or responding to these issues and initiatives, the bishops will:
At times, the bishops may wish to exercise their pastoral ministry and leadership on a national level by working collaboratively with the Episcopal regions and provinces or with national Catholic organizations, movements, and associations. Through this collaboration the bishops seek to increase the effectiveness and extension of the mission by empowering more groups to act by and with the bishops. This approach is helpful when there is an initiative that is best accomplished by the bishops' marshalling and empowering the resources and energies of a regional effort, a national group, or groups that are closely associated with the Conference and with one another; or where the bishops believe that the work is best accomplished through the means of a national organization or movement rather than through direct leadership and involvement by the USCCB.
The following criteria are parameters to be used in developing the annual plans of the USCCB:
(USCCB, Report from the Task Force on Activities and Resources, 16-17, no. B6, approved November 2004).
While acknowledging that not all work that the bishops undertake can be specifically measured, given the investment of time, talent, and financial resources at the national level, the bishops strive as much as possible to develop measurable outcomes and effectiveness assessments:

Hey Everyone,
I have been kiting for about a year and a half and recently started to try to find some new tricks. I don't really know what to do, so a lot of the time I feel like I just go up and spin till I either land or crash. LOL. I am very comfortable jumping, going up wind, relaunching, blah, blah... The only real tricks I know are back rolls in both directions, pop to toeside and learning front rolls. I really want to find a list or some sort of tricks I should try in order since there are some very difficult and some not as difficult. If you have any suggestions, that would be great.

|FreeBSD Installation and Upgrading Installing and upgrading FreeBSD.

I need to get the bootmanager to move :-)
Hi all
I have a dual box XP and FBSD 8. Somewhere in the process of installing FBSD 8 (which was after XP, and both are on different HDDs) I managed to have FBSD and XP dual boot, with FBSD taking care of the boot menu (you know, the F1, F5, choices), thanks to the excellent FBSD-books I have. Now I am experimenting with Truecrypt and I want it to encrypt the XP-partition (C:\). On installing that, it starts complaining:
So I went into sysinstall and at least as far as I know I told FBSD to not install the bootmanager on drive 1 but to install it on drive 2, but nothing happens; the bootmanager is still there. I don't know how to solve this.
Of course, I could just simply restore the windows bootloader on drive 1 (thereby removing the FBSD menu 'hard handed') and then Truecrypt will encrypt without problems I guess, but I want TC also to recognize FBSD on disk 2, and for that as far as I can tell the FBSD bootloader needs to be on disk 2 first, no?
Could anybody perhaps shed a light?
I am in your debt as always
Thank you & bye,
I don't see any choice but to reinstall Windows' bootloader. Use the fixmbr utility that is available from the Recovery Console.
But I wouldn't trust fixmbr to save your partition table if I were you though and I'd make a backup of the MBR with dd(1) just in case.
For using the NT loader to dual-boot, this might help.
Since I've never used Truecrypt, I can't tell how it works, but I doubt it'll understand and encrypt the FreeBSD slice. However there are other methods available on FreeBSD for encrypting disks.
Oh yeah, and Truecrypt is a true POS for requiring the Windows bootloader. Sorry I couldn't resist.
May the source be with you!
However, as I wrote above: I know I can restore the win boot manager, but in order for TC to understand there is another OS the FBSD bootmanager should be installed on HDD2, and this is what I tried but can't seem to accomplish.
As I said in my edit (but you may have missed it), there are other methods available for encrypting disks on FreeBSD, such as geli(8). You can still use Truecrypt for Windows if you want.
To install the FreeBSD boot manager use boot0cfg(8).
May the source be with you!
Well, despite your explanations it didn't work
That is: boot0cfg was to complicated for me as a noob
But since I messed up my FBSD installation anyway I reinstalled it (on the separate, second, HDD). Since I want to arrive at dual boot XP and FBSD and taking into account that Truecrypt doesn't like anything else but the windows boot loader, this is where I stand now:
1. fixboot & fixmbr fixed the XP boot up on HDD1.
2. Reinstalled FBSD 8 on HDD2, choose 'standard' for the boot manager meaning no bootmanager on the HDD1. So FBSD 8 is on HDD2 although I can't boot it right now.
According to the attached picture I now need in some way achieve that I have a bootmanager on a partition (on HDD1 I assume), but I have no clue how to do that. The picture talkes about grub, but actually I don't understand it, since a boot manager has to be in the MBR, not in partition, in order to work
Could you - or anybody else - suggest me how I proceed to keep the normal XP boot loader since TC requires that, and in addition to get 'a boot manager in a partition' that will recognize FBSD? Of course, I am yet again in dept for help
EDIT: the board wants only very tiny pictures so I have to use an external host for the screenshots:
How about selecting No, since you now boot using Windows' loader?
But don't try TrueCrypt until both Windows and FreeBSD are booting successfully!
Have you tried using the NT loader to dual-boot yet?
I'm not 100% sure I understand the way TrueCrypt works, but I think the idea is to have Windows' loader (later replaced with TrueCrypt's) on the primary master (default boot device) and FreeBSD's boot0 on the second disk, and use Windows' NT loader to both boot Windows and load FreeBSD's boot0, which in turn boots FreeBSD.
When I come to think about it, you don't really need boot0cfg since you'll only have FreeBSD on the second disk. So use
# fdisk -B ad1 from a livefs. Change ad1 if you need to. But this was probably done by your step 2.
May the source be with you!
From what I understand the XP bootloader shall be used for XP only, because, as it says in the screenshot, "you can later on hit escape to use a different boot loader such as Grub (which installed in a partition which I also don't understand) to boot the other operating system".
Your suggestion makes sense to use the NT-bootloader, I will test this; thanks very much
But even if you have the boot0 on HDD2, how can you then boot? I mean, assume PC boots, boot loader on HDD1 loads XP with truecrypt. Suppose I hit escape to bypass the TC-bootloader, nothing will happen? The computer doesn't know that there is a boot0 on HDD2 without a boot manager? True?
Sorry for asking stupid questions but I just don't understand it.
Windows MBR code (later replaced by TrueCrypt's) | Windows boot record code | NT loader | |\____ FreeBSD's boot0 | Windows XP
May the source be with you!
Thanks again for your help; appreciated
So I went for your suggestion to use the NT Bootloader. I followed the FAQ, booted with the FBSD8 install disk, went into sysinstall and made sure the FBSD boot manager was installed on HDD2.
And now for the part: I need to get boot0 out of FBSD but for that I need to be able boot into FBSD first. And I was sort of expecting the FBSD install disk would allow me to boot the installed FBSD on HDD2, but it doesn't. So I have it installed on HDD2, but no way to boot it up to get boot0
Still, there will be a day when I will be a FBSD-guru (sweet dreams ).
May the source be with you!
There is an alternate way of booting the second HD. Just change your bios to select 2nd HD as device to boot from.
The thing to keep in mind is that the 2nd HD where FBSD is must have no boot manger installed of any kind. What ever boot manger you use has to be installed on HD1 only because that is the device your bois is currentlly configured to boot from.
FreeBSD Install Guide www.a1poweruser.com
I also browsed through your FBSD manual: I am sure there is something in it for me to learn; thanks for your efforts
Well shoot me
I have no clue what happened, but FBSD is booting without me copying boot0 to the root of C:\ in XP
As per:
I did:
Next I was still breaking my brain on how to get boot0 out of FBSD, and so when TC booted I hit escape just to see what would happen and voila, there FBSD boots.
So it seems for some reason or so TC boot loader/manager on hitting ESC scans other HDDs to see if there is an OS it can boot
Or something like that
Anyway, this for now works, so now I will go and try to encrypt the /home on FBSD, after I have found out how to resize /home to create space for a new partition, since during install I just told the installer to use the whole disk which, on second thought, wasn't that smart. Funny thing is in both my FBSD books there's no story about resizing a partition; google here I come.

You want to know how to write a sonnet like one of Shakespeare's? There's good news and bad news. The good news is that it's very easy to write a sonnet. The bad news is that your sonnet will unlikley ever be as good as any of Shakespeare's… but that's no reason not to try!
A Shakespearean sonnet expresses a single idea, but it is generally an idea that develops and expands, with multiple facets, leading to a conclusion – and all within a very specific rhyming scheme. The sonnet structure consists of four divisions, always making up fourteen lines. The first three of the four sonnet divisions have the same rhyming scheme, whilst the fourth and last division has a different rhyming scheme:
- The Shakespearean sonnet begins with a four line quatrain – four lines that end with alternate rhyming words, in this pattern: ABAB
- The second quatrain has the same rhyme scheme but with different rhyming words so it follows this pattern: CDCD
- The third quatrain also has the same rhyme scheme, but again with different rhyming words: EFEF
- The final two lines is a rhyming couplet: GG
All Shakespearean sonnets follow this fouteen line pattern and rhyming structure. So, now you have the basics, here are three steps to have you writing your own sonnet in no time:
1. Think of an idea for your sonnet
It must be just one single idea. It could be a feeling, like being in love. It could be some thought you've had about life, or about a person or about people in general. It could be about one of your favourite subjects – sport, music, movies, nature, a book you've read etc.
2. Your sonnet must rhyme
There must be three sets of four lines and one set of two lines.
A set of four lines is called a quatrain. They must follow this pattern. The first quatrain will rhyme like this: abab, for example, rain, space, pain, trace.
In the second quatrain you will use different words and it will rhyme like this: cdcd, for example, run, sky, sun, die.
In the third quatrain you will use different words again and it will rhyme like this: efef, for example, boy, man, joy, van.
You now have your three Shakespearean quatrains. That's twelve lines. A sonnet always has fourteen lines. You need a final two and they are called a couplet. So far your sonnet has three quatrains. Once you have written them the sonnet needs a couplet. The rhyme pattern for that is gg. Again, words you haven't used in the rhyming so far. An example is owl and fowl.
Your rhyme pattern will look like this: abab/ cdcd/efef/gg Simple, isn't it? Let's look at a Shakespeare sonnet 18 to understand how the rhyming works, and how the message evolves:
First quatrain
/Shall I /compare /thee to /a Sum/mer's day?/ a
/Thou art/ more love/ly and/ more temp/er/ate:/ b
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, a
And Summer's lease hath all too short a date: b
Second quatrain
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, c
And oft' is his gold complexion dimm'd; d
And every fair from fair sometime declines, c
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd: d
Third quatrain
But thy eternal Summer shall not fade e
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; f
Nor shall Death brag thou wanderest in his shade, e
When in eternal lines to time thou growest: f
So long as men can breathe, or eyes can see, g
So long lives this, and this gives life to thee. g
The sonnet is about a single idea. Shakespeare is looking at a beautiful summer's day which, in spite of its beauty, has limitations, and it eventually fades and dies. He's comparing someone with that beautiful summer's day but showing that person's superiority to it. He works the idea through and presents the subject of the poem as having no limitations. Even eventual death won't interfere with that because the subject will live forever in the poem, which Shakespeare suggests, will be read as long as there are people to read it.
Look at the first two quatrains again. The subject is introduced and we are told that he or she is more beautiful than a summer's day. The defects of the summer's day are outlined. Look at the third quatrain. It starts with the word 'but.' That marks a shift of emphasis. Now the subject's eternal beauty is emphasised. Look at the couplet. It's a summing up – an assurance that the subject's beauty will last for as long as there are human beings on Earth. A rhyming couplet in English poetry is always very powerful and in the sonnets it sums up and rounds off the poem. It can be used to put emphasis on the main idea, or to undermine it, or to offer a humorous perspective. And in Shakespeare it can quite frequently be very personal, in some cases amounting to a personal statement.
The rhyme scheme is used to change emphasis. Each aspect of the poems' idea is contained in its own section with its own rhyming word pattern.
3. Your sonnet must have a metrical pattern
It must be written in iambic pentameter. That means that you must use iambus.
Iambus is another word for a two syllable foot. The first syllable will normally be unstressed and the second stressed. For example, de/light, the sun, for/lorn, one day, re/lease. English is the perfect language for iambus because of the way our stressed and unstressed syllables work.
Every line of your sonnet must have five feet or iambi. Pentameter means five and iambic pentameter simply means five feet. Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter, not only in the sonnets, but also throughout his plays. Pick up any play and look at it. Choose almost any line: 'But screw your courage to the sticking post' (Lady Macbeth) Read it like this: /but screw/ your cour/age to /the stick/ing post/ Count the feet – there are five. And they are all unstressed followed by stressed syllables. Shakespeare uses iambic pentameter because it closely resembles the rhythm of everyday speech and he wants to imitate everyday speech in his plays.
Like Shakespeare you can also trot them out. Try it. If your friend also wants to write a sonnet you can practice talking to each other in iambic pentameter. It comes easily. 'I wonder what my friends will think of this?' 'If I were you I'd watch out what I say.' 'He never ever told me what to do.' 'It's easy when you think of it like that.'
You can see from the above sentences that iambic pentameter is natural to English speech. So the first thing to do is practice speaking in iambic pentameter. You'll see how naturally it comes.
You now have to put the three things together – your idea, your rhyming words and your iambic pentameter.
Things to think about
• Use as many visual images (word pictures) as you can
• Find the right words.
• Don't deviate from the iambic pentameter or your sonnet won't work. You can make slight variations in the stressing for the sake of varying the rhythm so that you don't get too much of a dedum-dedum-dedum-dedum-dedum effect. For example: 'Let me not to the marriage of true minds.' If you read it like this: /let me /not to /the mar/riage of /true minds/ it sounds unnatural, but it is still iambic pentameter. Shakespeare has used iambic pentameter but he's varied the meter to create a different rhythm. So although it's basic iambic pentameter we read it with the following stresses: Let me not to the marriage of true minds. It now sounds like natural speech. Notice how the first three words run into each other as though they're one word letmenot. But he's stuck rigidly to the required line structure. Do you think you can do that? Shakespeare makes these variations a lot in his plays and that's why you can hear the language as real people speak it but feel the basic metre in your head.
Now you know how to write a sonnet, there's no excuse: It's time to start work on your own sonnet!

Encourage the USPTO to stop issuing software patents; deadline September 27
Normally when the USPTO solicits feedback like this, they hear almost exclusively from patent attorneys who have a vested interest in making sure that patents are granted as broadly as possible. And this process will be overseen by David Kappos, the current director of the USPTO and formerly an attorney at IBM in charge of their heavy-handed patent strategy. The company obtained large numbers of software patents with his oversight (and has continued to do so after his departure).
It's not hard to guess what this guidance will look like if we leave this process in their hands. But there's no rule that says only patent attorneys can offer feedback. Patent examiners are civil servants and accountable to the public at large. The USPTO should hear from software users and developers, who acutely feel the effects of software patents that limit what they can do with their computers and free software.
Ciaran O'Riordan, executive director of End Software Patents has said, "The Bilski decision didn't give us everything we wanted, but there was a silver lining. We asked the Supreme Court to reaffirm their rulings in Diehr, Benson, and Flook, and distance themselves from the decisions of lower courts that expanded patent eligibility. They did just that. Now the USPTO has to interpret this shift, and our task is to ensure that this key element of the decision isn't forgotten."
If you're a U.S. citizen, please write to the USPTO at email@example.com and tell them that their new guidance should include a strong stand against software patents. Submissions are due by Monday, September 27. Please share a copy of your letter with us, by CCing firstname.lastname@example.com. That way the USPTO will know that someone else is keeping track of the number of letters sent.
Your letter should explain how you're affected by software patents, how software patents take freedom away from all computer users, and that a strong stance against software patents in USPTO's guidance would be consistent with the Bilski decision. If you like, you can use some of the text below to help you get started on your letter:
Software patents hurt individuals by taking away our ability to control the devices that now exert such strong influence on our personal freedoms, including how we interact with each other. Now that computers are near-ubiquitous, it's easier than ever for an individual to create or modify software to perform the specific tasks they want done -- and more important than ever that they be able to do so. But a single software patent can put up an insurmountable, and unjustifiable, legal hurdle for many would-be developers.
The Supreme Court of the United States has never ruled in favor of the patentability of software. Their decision in Bilski v. Kappos further demonstrates that they expect the boundaries of patent eligibility to be drawn more narrowly than they commonly were at the case's outset. The primary point of the decision is that the machine-or-transformation test should not be the sole test for drawing those boundaries. The USPTO can, and should, exclude software from patent eligibility on other legal grounds: because software consists only of mathematics, which is not patentable, and the combination of such software with a general-purpose computer is obvious.
More resources to help you write your letter are available on the End Software Patents wiki, at http://en.swpat.org/wiki/USPTO_2010_consultation_-_deadline_27_sept. We'll also follow up there with information about the guidelines once they're published.

Indiana man accused of kidnapping estranged wife
An eastern Indiana man is facing an August trial on charges that he allegedly he kidnapped his estranged wife along a highway.
Forty-six-year-old Todd A. Stigleman of Cambridge City appeared for an initial hearing Tuesday on kidnapping, criminal confinement and stalking charges. He was released after posting bail on a $100,000 surety bond after a judge set his trial for Aug. 5.
Wayne County Sheriff Jeff Cappa tells the Palladium-Item that Stigleman allegedly kidnapped his wife on April 24 near Cambridge City.
Capp says Stigleman, who's separated from his wife, allegedly began following her on Interstate 70. He's accused of stopping his wife's car at an I-70 exit ramp, blocking it with his vehicle before he allegedly forced her into his car and drove away.

The Wonderful 101 director warns haters of short games
The Wonderful 101 director warned players who "hate to finish a game the next day" after buying it that they shouldn't play his game. This set off some controversy that the executive producer tried to temper.
The Wonderful 101 is probably going to be on the short side, judging by a comment from director Hideki Kamiya. But, responding to the flare-up of controversy caused by that comment, executive director Atsushi Inaba attempted to clarify.
It started with a tweet from Kamiya (via Siliconera). "If u hate to finish a game the next day u buy it, u better not play TW101," he said. "I focus on how it is fun, not how long it lasts till the ending."
That sounds like an admission that the game will be short, but Inaba responded with a long series of tweets. "What he is saying is his basic approach to how he creates an action game. The idea is rooted in that you shouldn't pad your game with content users won't enjoy in order to control play time to the end of the game. It isn't something he wants to do, or thinks you should do."
He says that Kamiya actually tends to put a lot of content into his games, and that in his past experience he's never worried about game length. In fact, he says, as executive producer it tends to be his job to order cuts when a game is too long.
"Of course, even though @pg_kamiya didn't intend for people to jump to their own conclusions, they did," Inaba said. "In this case, that conclusion was 'So TW101 is going to be short then?!' Let me make my own conclusion: TW101 will be so much fun you are going to wear out your Wii U GamePad. Actually, the Wii U GamePad is pretty sturdy, so you probably won't wear it out."
It's notable that he didn't make any direct statements about the game's length, and chose instead to focus on his past experience with Kamiya. He said announcements are forthcoming, and with E3 just around the corner, it's a safe bet that we'll have a new look at the game then.
Steve Watts posted a new article, The Wonderful 101 director warns haters of short games.

Y'all can't kill me!January 28, 2013
Today is my first day of my mid-30's, which doesn't feel that much different than my early 30's but are still slightly better than my late 20's and way better than my mid-20's. Not as good as my early 20's though. I got laid a lot more back then. That was awesome.
Renal Failure started in my mid-20's at a real low point, and because it helped me get out from that depressive pit it makes a lot of sense why the frequency of posts have lessened from the original post-a-day pace to one every week or two. You stop taking the medicine after it's driven out the illness. At least the writing in these more intermittent posts is superior to the earlier posts, though those early posts are what created the deep Renal Failure mythology that long-time readers enjoy.
But I certainly do more in my life now than when Renal Failure started. I've been performing improv for the past two years, practicing Israeli Krav Maga for almost five. I actually have a job now where I write for my paycheck rather than participate in dull office tedium. I drink way better beer, often times out of an actual glass or goblet or chalice. Me at 34 is kicking the shit out of me at 26.
I ran into an old high school friend at a bar around Christmas and he said he was surprised to see me still alive. And I replied "Y'all can't kill me! I'll outlive you all!" Yes I was drunk but I'm pretty sure I would have said the same thing sober, because I'm right. And I stole that line from Tag Larkin.
I probably said this before but I'm too lazy to look for it: I was asked as an alumnus of my college to pass on some advice to the future students, and my advice was this: Don't let these be the best years of your life. And if I can remember to take this advice myself as I grow older I should have a pleasantly awesome time getting to 35, maybe even 40.

Purdue Comparative Oncology Program News
Fall 2019 Newsletter
We are glad to share our revived Purdue Comparative Oncology (PCOP) Newsletter with you. The newsletter was a popular feature of our program a few years ago. After a break in production, and after many request for it, we are reviving the PCOP Newsletter to share our work and its impact with you. There is so much to share!
TanoveaTM is here!
The Purdue Comparative Oncology Program is excited to announce that we are now carrying Tanovea™ (rabacfosadine), a new treatment for dogs with lymphoma. Click here to read more about TanoveaTM. If you have questions about Tanovea at Purdue, please call (765) 494-1107 and ask to speak with a member of the Oncology staff.
Lawn Herbicide Exposure to Dogs
Considerable interest has been generated by a recently published study by PCOP scientists and key collaborators at Purdue University and the University of North Carolina. The purpose of the study was to determine the extent to which lawn chemicals are taken into the body of dogs and eliminated in the urine. This study was in followup to an earlier study that showed a significant association between lawn chemical exposure and increased bladder cancer risk in dogs with a strong genetic risk for the cancer, i.e. Scottish terriers. Briefly, in the new study 3 different herbicides (2,4-D, MCPP, dithiopyr) were measured in the urine of dogs of any breed that did not have cancer and on the surface of the grass in 25 households who had already planned to apply lawn chemicals and in 8 households who were not going to apply lawn chemicals. The 3 chemicals were selected because they are commonly used in lawn chemical mixtures, not because of specific known carcinogenic effects of those chemicals. The goal was to assess how readily lawn chemicals are taken up by dogs, as well as to assess factors that could result in prolonged presence of the chemicals on the grass.
Some of the important findings and conclusions are summarized below:
- Lawn chemical exposure was widespread in dogs. At least 1 of the 3 chemicals measured in the study was present in the urine of dogs in the majority of the 25 households after lawn chemicals were applied to the grass.
- "Untreated" grass also contained lawn chemicals, presumably from drift from nearby treated areas. At least 1 of the 3 chemicals was detected on the grass in 7 of 8 control households, as well as in many of the "treated" households BEFORE the chemicals were applied.
- Half of the dogs living in "untreated" control households had lawn chemicals in their urine.
- The condition of the grass affected how long the chemicals persisted on the surface of the grass where they would be taken up by dogs. Chemicals persist longer on dry brown grass. Chemicals were detected on the grass at 48 hours after treatment in the household study.
- The levels of chemicals in the urine were lower than those that would cause acute toxicity. The effects of chronic long term exposure to these levels of chemicals have not yet been determined.
The bottom line is dogs can internalize lawn chemicals from exposure to their treated lawn, exposure to their untreated but contaminated lawn, and from other treated areas such as parks. Further studies are indicated to determine the exposure levels in humans, especially for people involved in yard work, gardening, and sports.
What can pet owners do to reduce exposure to their dogs? Limit lawn chemical use to areas necessary. Consider treating the lawn in sections: the front yard one week, the back yard another week so there is an area for the dog that has not recently been treated. Follow manufacturer or applicator instructions, and do not apply excessive amounts of chemicals. Keep the dog off treated areas for at least as long as the manufacturer recommends, and recognize that longer is usually better. Dogs in our study picked up chemicals from lawns even when the chemicals had dried. Some dedicated dog owners even wash their dogs feet each time they come in the house from the lawn.
