Campus chair, from Swedish design company Lammhults, was launched in 1992 and became an instant success. The chair, designed by Johannes Foersom and Peter Hiort-Lorenzen, has during these 20 years been sold in more than 1 million units. It is, without a doubt, Lammhults best selling product of all time. It started already in 1989 when Lammhults asked the Danish designer duo to design a product especially suited for the export market. The requirement for the product was a functional chair that could be sold in large volumes. A given requirement for many furniture companies but a difficult task to achieve. The focus of the design process for Campus was that the chair should work in larger numbers without in any way taking over the room or the architecture. The result was a small, both stackable and linkable, chair of steel tubing and veneered seat and back. The simple lines and clear design with the wave-shaped back allows Campus to work both as a solitaire and in several hundreds. In large quantities the wave-shaped backs form an undulating ensemble. The innovative back mounting, with no visible fittings, is a beautiful detail that gives character to the chair. This technique is beeing used in several following Lammhults chairs. Campus chair was soon complemented with an armchair, several accessories and also a series of tables. The molded seat and back in wood veneer and the simple steel tube frame is available in several different options and colours, also upholste- red seat and a fully upholstered model is available. In 2010 Campus Air, a plastic version of the chair, was launched. As the name implies the chair can also be supplied with a frame for outdoor use. The Campus chair was the product that put Lammhults on the international map and can, among many other places around the world be found at Bridge Art & Sience College, Doha, Qatar; Royal Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen, Denmark; BMWs factory, Regensburg, Germany and Kogahuin University, Tokyo, Japan. – Campus is still, 20 years later, one of the products we sell the most of, says Åke Jansson, MD at Lammhults Möbel. Campus is an excellent example of what Lammhults stands for, clear functionality and timelessness along with high quality. This results in environmental and economical gains for both our customers and for us as a producer. The cooperation between Lammhults and the Danes has been ongoing since 1987 and has resulted in several successful and award winning products. Campus has been awarded the Forsnäs prize, 1994, and Best of Neocon, Gold Award, 1995.
To find the source of Lammhult Möbels highly-respected quality, you need only to travel 450 kilometers south of Stockholm to the village of Lammhult, in the heart of Sweden's "Kingdom of Furniture".

I'm talking today with @livestrongCEO Doug Ulman @SXSW about Changing the World and Lives with Bikes:
This core conversation will talk about how cycling, the bike, and social media are changing the world and lives. You'll learn about Livestrong's community and Bike Hugger's blog, events like the Mobile Social, and the millions who follow Lance Armstrong on Twitter. It's a discussion of bike and pop culture and socializing the good with these Interweb tools.
A core conversation is just Doug and no audio/visuals discussing the topic with the audience. It's at 11:00 AM in Room 7. We're both looking forward to it and seeing you there.
Last night Doug and I met, over a few beers, at the Livestrong party
also met Chris Sacca who told me a very funny fat-boy rides bike story – fat boy being him.
We'll post on that one soon.

Author Notes: Every year my mother and I buy morels at one of our local farms (that specializes in asparagus). We've tried them a dozen different ways, but this is absolutely the best. A few years ago, my parents moved...and now they've begun finding morels somewhere in their backyard (but they're not sharing)! - apartmentcooker —Erin McDowell
Food52 Review: I was lucky enough to find morels in my yard right after seven days of rain so I had to try this! At first, it looked like the flour and butter were just going to make a paste, but eventually they coated the mushrooms pretty evenly. I really enjoyed the peppery spice mixture on the large, meaty pieces of morel. My mushrooms were very moist and did not get as crispy as I would like before the butter started to brown, but I liked the flavor. For simply done mushrooms that come together in a flash, these are worth trying. Especially if you don't intend to share (Note: the recipe is for 1-2 servings)! - sara k. —sarah k.
Serves: 1-2
pound morel mushrooms
cups flour, or more as needed for dredging
tablespoon salt, or more to taste
tablespoon black pepper, or more to taste
teaspoons garlic powder
1 1/2
teaspoons paprika
stick of butter, or as needed for frying
- Soak the morels in salted cold water for a few minutes (best way to remove tiny bugs and other debris - our morels are usually pretty dirty when we get them...so this is a must). Drain well.
- If the morels are large, slice them in half lengthwise. Otherwise, leave them whole for bite-size morsels of buttery-fried goodness.
- Season the flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. This is really to taste - and of course other seasonings would probably be tasty (but keep it simple).
- Dredge the mushrooms completely in the flour. Set aside.
- Heat a good amount of butter in a heavy skillet. When it's good and hot, add the mushrooms and pan-fry until the morels are golden brown and crispy. Add more salt, to taste and devour.

My mom asked me what I've been up to lately so I sent her a link to the only tutorial I wrote here on Ao. She knows I'm into computers but she didn't know my obsesion with learning about security and this site. O well she sent me a newsletter from MIT that I guess she's subscribed to. In it there was a link to this article.
Do you think the computers that The_Jinx pointed to in this thread:As described above, NP computers seem like magical things that could never exist today. But that might not be the case. It's easy to see that there exist many NP problems, includingcode breaking and factoring. But nobody has ever been able to mathematically prove that it's impossible to solve all NP problems in polynomial time on an ordinary computerin other words, that P is not equal to NP.
Or maybe quantum computers:
might be the starting point of NP computers?

Generic transformations and queries are often referred to as boilerplate code - they remain relatively similar as the action performed by the code changes, and can often outnumber the actual intent of the code in terms of lines. While other generic traversal schemes have shown how powerful new features can be added to compilers, and how the type system can be manipulated into accepting these operations, the Uniplate library focuses on a conceptually simpler generic concept. A more complete document on Uniplate was published at the Haskell Workshop 2007, and is available from the project website, along with a video presentation, and the associated thesis chapter.
Uniplate is a simple, concise and fast generics library. To expand on that sentence:
The Uniplate library can be installed with the standard sequence of cabal commands:
cabal update cabal install uniplate
This document proceeds as follows:
Thanks to Björn Bringert for feedback on an earlier version of this document, Eric Mertens for various ideas and code snippets, and to Matt Naylor and Tom Shackell for helpful discussions.
To demonstrate the facilities of Uniplate, we use a simple arithmetic type:
{-# LANGUAGE DerivingDataTypeable #-} module Expr where import Data.Generics.Uniplate.Data data Expr = Val Int | Add Expr Expr | Sub Expr Expr | Div Expr Expr | Mul Expr Expr | Neg Expr deriving (Show, Eq, Data, Typeable)
In this definition, the Uniplate specific bits are bolded. The three extra parts are:
This definition makes use of the Scrap Your Boilerplate (SYB) based Uniplate implementation. The SYB implementation is compatible with the other implementations, but is slower (between 2 and 8 times) and requires some modest compiler extensions (implemented in GHC for many years). The alternative definition scheme is described towards the end of this document, in "Making Uniplate Faster". I recommend using the SYB implementation to start with, as it requires least work to use.
The Uniplate library defines two classes, Uniplate and Biplate, along with a number of functions. After importing Data.Generics.Uniplate.Data all types which have Data instances automatically have the necessary Uniplate instances. In the following subsections we introduce the Uniplate functions, along with examples of using them. The two most commonly used functions are universe (used for queries) and transform (used for transformations).
universe :: Uniplate on => on -> [on]
When manipulating our little language it may be useful to know which constants have been used. This can be done with the following code:
constants :: Expr -> [Int] constants x = nub [y | Val y <- universe x]
Here the only Uniplate method being used is universe, which when given a tree returns all the root of the tree, and all it's subtrees at all levels. This can be used to quickly flatten a tree structure into a list, for quick analysis via list comprehensions, as is done above.
Exercise: Write a function to test if an expression performs a division by the literal zero.
transform :: Uniplate on => (on -> on) -> on -> on
If we are negating a literal value, this computation can be performed in advance, so let's write a function to do this.
optimise :: Expr -> Expr optimise = transform f where f (Neg (Val i)) = Val (negate i) f x = x
Here the Uniplate method being used is transform, which applies the given function to all the children of an expression, before applying it to the parent. This function can be thought of as bottom-up traversal of the data structure. The optimise code merely pattern matches on the negation of a literal, and replaces it with the literal.
Now lets add another optimisation into the same pass, just before the f x = x line insert:
f (Add x y) | x == y = Mul x (Val 2)
This takes an addition where two terms are equal and changes it into a multiplication, causing the nested expression to be executed only once.
Exercise: Extend the optimisation to so that adding x to Mul x (Val 2) produces a multiplication by 3.
para :: Uniplate on => (on -> [res] -> res) -> on -> res
Now lets imagine that programmers in your language are paid by the depth of expression they produce, so lets write a function that computes the maximum depth of an expression.
depth :: Expr -> Int depth = para (\_ cs -> 1 + maximum (0:cs))
This function performs a paramorphism (a bit like a fold) over the data structure. The function simply says that for each iteration, add one to the previous depth.
Exercise: Write a function that counts the maximum depth of addition only.
transformM :: (Monad m, Uniplate on) => (on -> m on) -> on -> m on
The literal values need to be replaced with a sequence of numbers, each unique. This is unlikely for an arithmetic expression, but consider bound variables in lambda calculus and it starts to become a bit more plausible:
uniqueLits :: Expr -> Expr uniqueLits x = evalState (transformM f x) [0..] where f (Val i) = do y:ys <- get put ys return (Val y) f x = return x
Here a monadic computation is required, the program needs to keep track of what the next item in the list to use is, and replace the current item. By using the state monad, this can be done easily.
Exercise: Allow each literal to occur only once, when a second occurance is detected, replace that literal with zero.
contexts :: Uniplate on => on -> [(on, on -> on)]
The person who is inputting the expression thinks they made a mistake, they suspect they got one of the values wrong by plus or minus one. Generate all the expressions they might have written.
mutate :: Expr -> [Expr] mutate x = concat [[gen $ Val $ i-1, gen $ Val $ i+1] | (Val i, gen) <- contexts x]
The transform function is useful for doing an operation to all nodes in a tree, but sometimes you only want to apply a transformation once. This is less common, but is sometimes required. The idea is that the context provides the information required to recreate the original expression, but with this node altered.
Exercise: Replace one multiplication with addition, if there are no multiplications return the original expression.
rewrite :: Uniplate on => (on -> Maybe on) -> on -> on
When slotting many transformations together, often one optimisation will enable another. For example, the the optimisation to reduce.
Do something different in the odd and even cases. Particularly useful if you have free variables and are passing state downwards.
descendM :: Monad m => (on -> m on) -> on -> m on -- descend transformM :: (Monad m, Uniplate on) => (on -> m on) -> on -> m on -- transform rewriteM :: (Monad m, Uniplate on) => (on -> m (Maybe on)) -> on -> m on -- rewrite
All the transformations have both monadic and non-monadic versions.
children :: Uniplate on => on -> [on] -- universe descend :: (on -> on) -> on -> on -- transform holes :: Uniplate on => on -> [(on, on -> on)] -- contexts
Lot's of functions which operate over the entire tree also operate over just one level. Usually you want to use the multiple level version, but when needing more explicit control the others are handy.
Don't use Uniplate! The reasons are that there is little boilerplate, you have to handle every case separately. For example in our language we can write:
All the operations defined in Uniplate have a corresponding Biplate instance. Typically the operations are just the same as Uniplate, with Bi on the end.
universeBi :: Biplate on with => on -> [with] transformBi :: Biplate on with => (with -> with) -> on -> on transformBiM :: (Monad m, Biplate on with) => (with -> m with) -> on -> m on
The biggest difference is for the functions childrenBi and descendBi. In these cases, if the starting type and the target type are the same, then the input value will be returned. For example:
childrenBi (Add (Val 1) (Val 2)) == [Add (Val 1) (Val 2)] children (Add (Val 1) (Val 2)) == [Val 1, Val 2]
For example, you should never hvae descendBi in an inner recursive loop.
To make Uniplate faster import Data.Generics.Uniplate.Direct, and provide Uniplate instances by generating them with the Derive tool.

Sharks Outlast Barnstormers, 40-34, For Fifth Straight Win
Friday April 19, 2013
Team remains perfect with Friday victory
JACKSONVILLE – Thanks to yet another outstanding defensive effort, the 2012 South Division Champion Jacksonville Sharks emerged from a back-and-forth battle with a 40-34 victory over the Iowa Barnstormers in front of 8,011 on Sea Best Field at the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena on Friday night. With the win, the Sharks improved to 5-0 for the first time in franchise history.
Though Jacksonville (5-0) held a 27-16 halftime lead, Iowa (2-3) quickly erased that edge by opening the third quarter with two consecutive scores. After stalling on back-to-back drives, the Shark offense broke through on the final play of the third, as quarterback Bernard Morris hit Jeron Harvey for a three-yard touchdown that put the Sharks in front, 34-28, as the game moved to the fourth.
The Barnstormers then knotted the game midway through the fourth, as J.J. Raterink found Marcus Harris for a 26-yard score before Phil Marfuggi's missed extra point kept the game tied at 34. Trailing on their home turf with under five minutes remaining, the Sharks responded. Markee White caught the final three passes of the decisive touchdown drive, as his five-yard score put Jacksonville ahead for good, 40-34.
On Iowa's next possession, the Shark defense came up with one of its biggest stops of the season. After a first-down completion to Jesse Schmidt went for no gain and Raterink couldn't find Marco Thomas on second down, Jerry Turner broke into the Barnstormer backfield on third and long, driving Raterink into the ground as he released the ball. One play later, Tracy Belton broke up a long pass toward the end zone to force a turnover on downs. The Jacksonville offense did its job after that, as Bernard Morris rushed forward on the final play to run out the clock and seal the Shark victory.
Friday was the third time in five games that the Sharks allowed 30 points or less. Much of that defensive success came from what has become the league's premier pass-rushing unit. In the second quarter, Turner chased down Raterink for a fourth-down sack that turned the ball over, and in the fourth, Aaron Robbins took down the Iowa quarterback and forced a fumble that was recovered by teammate Justin Parrish.
In addition, the Shark secondary stepped up despite being without starter Micheaux Robinson, who missed the game due to injury. Belton led all players with 10.5 total tackles (9 solo) and four pass breakups, while Terrance Smith intercepted Raterink's third pass of the game for his team-leading fourth pick of the season. In his first regular-season game in a Shark uniform, Jacksonville native Jamaal Fudge assisted on three tackles as well.
On offense, Morris finished the game 25 of 36 for 237 yards and five touchdowns, but did throw his first interception of the season. Harvey caught eight of Morris' passes for 81 yards and three touchdowns, including a first-quarter grab off the rebound net. Jeff Hughley led all players with 10 receptions, totaling 75 yards. White caught six passes for 73 yards and two scores, and is now the only Shark with a touchdown catch in every game this season.
For Iowa, Raterink completed 17 of his 30 throws, totaling 240 yards, three touchdowns and one interception. The Barnstormers' biggest downfield threat was Harris, who totaled six receptions for 130 yards and two scores, while Schmidt led his team with seven receptions.
At 5-0, the Sharks now enter a stretch in which the team plays each of last season's ArenaBowl participants in back-to-back weeks. First, Jacksonville will head to Philadelphia for a matchup with the Soul next Saturday night. The team then returns home to face the defending ArenaBowl champion Arizona Rattlers on Saturday, May 4.

Hurricane Iselle Starts to Batter Hawaii
State Prepared for Fierce Weather With Election Slated for Saturday
Hurricane Iselle began pounding Hawaii's Big Island late Thursday with high winds and heavy rain, as the rest of the Aloha State braced for likely days of stormy havoc with a rare second hurricane, Julio, tracking closely behind.
Fallen trees, causing the closure of at least one road, and power outages were reported as Iselle's landfall on the island remained about two hours away as of 7 p.m. local time with maximum sustained winds of 75 miles an hour. "We are starting to feel the effects of the storm, but in an hour...

GLASSBORO (NJ) – The Rowan University defense turned a pair of Delaware Valley College turnovers into 14 points and that proved to be the difference as the Profs upset the ninth-ranked Aggies, 27-13, as part of the Middle Atlantic Conference (MAC)-New Jersey Athletic Conference (NJAC) Challenge.
It was the first season-opening loss since 2008 for Delaware Valley, which went 11-1 (10-0 regular season), with its fourth consecutive MAC title and third straight NCAA playoff bid last year. The Aggies have now lost all six career meetings with Rowan, including when the teams met in the 2004 and 2005 NCAA Division III quarterfinals.
After a scoreless first quarter, Delaware Valley went up 6-0 just 59 seconds into the second as an eight-play, 41-yard dirve was capped by a 15-yard touchdown pass from sophomore quarterback Aaron Wilmer to junior wideout Lewis Vincent. The two picked up where they left off from last year as they combined for seven touchdowns in 2011. The extra-point attempt was blocked by Rowan's Patrick Ruley.
The Profs responded on the ensuing drive as they went 66 yards on eight plays, including a 17-yard scoring strike from Louie Bianchini to Ed Eisenhart. One play before that touchdown, Delaware Valley was called for a pass interference penalty on a fourth-and-five play. Mike Burke booted the extra point for a 7-6 Rowan advantage.
Two plays into the next drive, Wilmer had a pass intercepted by Casey Dillon and Dillon returned it 33 yards to the Aggie 20. A personal foul penalty at the end of the drive moved the ball up 10 yards. The Profs moved the ball to the five-yard line on a pair of runs and, on third down, Bianchi hit Chris Garcia in the end zone for a touchdown. Burke's kick made it a 14-6 contest with 8:54 remaining in the first half.
Late in the half, Delaware Valley drove to the Rowan 18-yard line, but Wilmer was sacked for a loss of four and the Aggies burned their last timeout. An incomplete pass put the clock under 20 seconds and Wilmer followed with a completion to fullback Christian Brooks to the 12-yard line. They tried to get the field goal unit on the field, but the clock ran out to end the half before the ball was snapped.
Rowan threatened deep in Aggie territory early in the third quarter, but safety John Robinson intercepted a pass at the one-yard line and returned in 24 yards. Delaware Valley had to punt and the Profs then turned the ball over on downs at the Aggie 33. Delaware Valley then faced a third-and-five from its 38 when Wilmer hit Chris Ruiz with a pass at the line of scrimmage. Ruiz was stripped of the ball by Tyler Jenkins and Kurt Kingett returned the fumble 38 yards for a touchdown. It was the final play of the third quarter and it gave Rowan a 21-6 lead.
Delaware Valley reached the Profs' 14-yard line on its next drive but an incomplete pass on a fourth-and-six gave the ball back to the home team. Rowan then drove down to the Aggie 21-yard line, but a 38-yard field goal attempt sailed wide to the left and kept Delaware Valley in the contest with 7:31 to go.
The Aggies then made things interested as they needed just 10 plays and 2:32 to go the distance and reach the end zone. On the drive, a 26-yard pass from Wilmer to tailback Kyle Schuberth put the ball at the one and Wilmer then snuck in for the touchdown. Brandon Snyder hit the extra-point to make it an eight-point game, 21-13 with 5:04 remaining.
The Delaware Valley defense stopped Rowan on its next drive and the Aggies took over at their own 36-yard line with 3:20 on the clock. Wilmer then hit Rasheed Bailey and Schuberth for passes of 10 and 14 yards to put the ball in Prof territory. On a third-and-10, Wilmer and Bailey teamed up again, this time for 13 yards and a first down at the 27. A pair of incomplete passes sandwiched a five-yard completion to Vincent and left the Aggies with a fourth-and-five. Wilmer's pass to Chris Ruiz fell incomplete and Rowan took over with 1:31 to go.
Delaware Valley used its final two timeouts on Rowan's first two plays, leaving the Profs with a third-and-three from its 29. Matt Dortch then ripped off a 71-yard touchdown to seal the win.
Delaware Valley finished 367 yards of total offense, but turned the ball over three times. Wilmer was 29-for-49 for 255 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. He was also sacked five times Ruiz and Schuberth caught seven passes each while Vincent had six grabs for 78 yards and a score. Schuberth netted 86 yards on 16 carries.
Defensively, the Aggies held Rowan to 280 yards with 71 coming on the last play. Linebacker John Marcelline had a career afternoon with 16 tackles and one sack. Robinson added seven tackles to his interception.
Bianchini completed 15 of 24 passes for just 97 yards. He threw two touchdowns and had two passed intercepted. Dortch finished with 158 yards and the clinching score on 22 carries. Darren Dungee paced the defense with 11 tackles.

WASHINGTON – Initial jobless claims ticked up last week, but still indicated an improving labor market as the four-week average hit its lowest point in five years.
The number of people filing for the first time for unemployment benefits rose to 336,000 for the week ending Saturday, up 2,000 from the previous week's revised figure, the Labor Department said Thursday.
The reading was better than analysts expected. A Reuters poll of economists had projected the figure at 342,000.
The average number of initial claims in the latest four weeks, a less-volatile barometer, dropped by 7,500 to 339,750. The last time it was that low was in February 2008, not long after the start of the Great Recession.
A little more than a year later, the four-week average had spiked to nearly 660,000 initial claims. It has been decreasing slowly ever since, but the pace of decline has picked up in recent months.
Last week was the third in a row that the four-week average was below 350,000, the level of initial claims that economists say is consistent with moderate growth in the job market.
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke on Wednesday noted the declines in weekly jobless claims as a sign of the improving labor market.
The latest weekly claim figures point toward another strong month of job creation in March. The economy added 236,000 net jobs in February.

And while I agree no one is going to be able to pass the bar without taking a good bar prep course, there are very real things schools can do to raise their bar passage rates significantly. One school was able to go from a sub 70% bar passage rate to an over 90% bar passage rate in the span of 10 years. There are actually schools that have done this successfully and it wasn't only due to flunking out a chunk of those in the bottom of the 1L class or tightening up admissions standards. Some schools have actually changed their approach to teaching and the way exams are given in order to increase bar passage rates.BUT one of the reasons some schools have such low bar passage rates is that a good chunk of their students cannot afford to take a good bar prep course. Or if they can afford a course, they cannot put in the required study time while working 40+ hours a week in order to pay bills and living expenses. Don't get me wrong, there are some students who can pass first try if they do bar exam study while working full time. I'm convinced that most students do not fall into this category, however.
The only standardized part of the exam is the one day of the MBE (multiple choice) which is given in all but 1-2 states I think.
Quote from: Matthies on July 21, 2009, 10:22:16 AMThe only standardized part of the exam is the one day of the MBE (multiple choice) which is given in all but 1-2 states I think. I'm planning on taking multiple bar exams as soon as possible after graduation. Does anyone know if I would have to take multiple MBE's, or do I just take that once and tell the rest of the states that I've already done it?BTW, Washington state's bar exam has one question on tribal law (I assume something to do with how the state's compacts with the various tribes work), and there is a type of plea here called the Alford plea which will get you an extra half-point or point if mentioned in the right place.

The Importance of Self-Awareness
The Importance of Self-Awareness
A post from The Leading Edge, a blog by expert in Jewish leadership
Dr. Hal M. Lewis, President and CEO of Spertus Institute, on
Judaism, leaders, and leadership.
Students and colleagues often ask whether there is a sole attribute that defines effective leadership. Most experts would support the finding, encapsulated in a 2007 megastudy published in the Harvard Business Review, that there are no "universal characteristics, traits, skills, or styles," that constitute the "profile of an ideal leader." Good leadership assumes a multiplicity of forms, and it would be a mistake to reduce effective leadership to a single characteristic. That having been said, however, there is considerable evidence that without the trait of self-awareness, one cannot hope to lead effectively. As the widely respected Center for Creative Leadership explains, "… strong interpersonal skills, grounded in personal reflection and self-awareness, are the key to effective leadership."
I was reminded of the importance of self-awareness recently during a presentation at Spertus by the acclaimed statistician, Nate Silver. In discussing why so many predictions fail, the man who famously foretold the results of the 2012 presidential election with astounding accuracy noted the following irony, "The more one acknowledges one's biases, the less likely one is to make biased decisions." To illustrate, Silver noted that individuals who admit to a bias in favor of hiring male candidates over similarly qualified female candidates, actually hire more women than those who claim no such bias.
This is a fascinating insight, and although Nate Silver was not talking about leadership per se, it has enormous resonance for those who lead. Simply stated, an important corrective in overcoming a prejudice is the self-awareness required to acknowledge that prejudice in the first place. Leaders honest enough to admit their biases are uniquely qualified to compensate for those weaknesses.
Jewish sources insist that though it is imprudent to deny one's limitations, including predispositions and biases, the presence of those shortcomings ought not prevent us from leading effectively. According to the Torah, when God summons Moses to lead the Jewish people his reaction is to reject the call because of his own failing, averring "I am not a man of words" (Ex. 4:10). God then assures Moses that not only will He be with him, but his brother Aaron will serve as counselor and spokesperson. Only when Moses is certain that his weaknesses can be compensated for does he feel sufficiently confident to assume leadership of the people.
This is not the only episode in which Moses mistakenly supposes that a leader needs to be perfect, to know it all and to do it all. During the Israelites' early years wandering the desert, Moses is called to task by his father-in-law, Jethro, for shouldering the entirety of the nation's leadership responsibilities. "The thing you are doing is not right," he tells Moses, " You will surely wear yourself out, and these people as well. For the task is too heavy for you; you cannot do it alone" (Ex.18:17-18). Jethro goes on to instruct Moses to surround himself by capable individuals who can share in the leadership.
A similar idea is reflected in a now popular article published several years ago in the Harvard Business Review titled, "In Praise of the Incomplete Leader" (2.07). In it the authors make the following point, "No leader is perfect. The best ones don't try to be - they concentrate on honing their strengths and find others who can make up for their limitations."
Great leaders acknowledge their weaknesses. They take responsibility for their biases, but refuse to be defined by them. Thoughtful leaders learn to compensate for their limitations, sometimes by self-remediation, other times by surrounding themselves with people who bring to the enterprise talents, skillsets and perspectives that they lack.
Nate Silver's insights challenge all who lead. Ask yourself: What are the biases that I bring to the table? In what ways do they impede my ability to lead effectively? What can I do to compensate for these limitations in ways that will enhance the overall leadership of the organization?

Though ultimately, I think the issue is that Hollywood is long on money, but short on ideas, or at least ideas it's willing to take risks on.
And why make a big original sci-fi epic when even something as terrible as The Green Lantern made back it's budget (even if the profit was non-existent). Super hero films are basically nearly risk free propositions.
Something to note further, many of the great sci-fi/fantasy epics being made right now do not originate in Hollywood. LotR and District 9 come to mind.
Of course, the profit from these sci-fi films pales in comparison to something like paranormal activity (193 million on a budget of $15,000!)

Though mind you with regards to bringing up John Carter. I think this is systematic of Hollywood REALLY not knowing why particular movies are successful, and why other ones bomb. Cause really. I don't think it bombed because it was just a so-so effects movie uninspiring plot and impressive effects. Lots of movies have that but manage to make a buck or break even.
John Carter was a huge failure because the marketing didn't tell people what it was about. It was afraid of looking like a pulpy sci-fi movie, so it ended up looking like nothing.
Hollywood has a structural problem if it can't look at John Carter, and realize that the overwhelming flaw of the movie was one of marketing.
...fuck. When you think about it further, the reason THIS marketing fuck up happened, was because Hollywood couldn't figure out why a movie that came out a year before John Carter, Mars Needs Moms, bombed. The executives assumed that it was because the movie was set on mars, as opposed to it being a really shitty sounding movie that most people wouldn't want to see.

I also hate those trailers these days. It's the same f*cking structure all the time. It's like they have a written book on how to make action/sci fi trailers. They are just too scared to try something else.

It was better when I saw it in theaters, as the alien at the end was blurred and unsubtitled, lending it much more of an air of mystery.
Trailers these days tell audiences way too much. May as well not even bother going to see the movie...
Another thing that truly amazes was that district 9's budget was only 30 million. The budget of your average super-hero movie is 150 million. And yet, District 9 looked just as good (if not better...).

Pacific Rim has a budget of 200 million.
Thankfully, Del Toro realized that this film could not be adequately rendered in 3D, so besides the IMAX experience (which is going to be a must for this film), the images we see are what we will get on the big screen. Additionally, Del Toro has gone out of his way to get some of the best visual effects artists in the business to work on this film (Hal T. Hickel, John Rosengrant, Shane Mahan, Clay Pinney and John Knoll). We are most likely going to see a truly beautiful film...visually at least.

Sad news everyone, it seems WB and Legendary will be converting the film to 3D. I understand why they are doing this (they are far more likely to recoup their money with a 3D film over a regular film, especially one that already costs 200&$ million), but Del Toro has gone out of his way to stress that the film has not been shot with 3D in mind. So, even with the best conversion technology, Pacfic Rim will now look stilted and akward. What's worse, there will now be no way to see the film is just IMAX (which is the theatre the film was made to be seen in), since all the chains will decide to only show the IMAX-3D.
This is really sucky news.

Hm.....I'm glad that, here in my country, we always have the option to see it on 2D with cheaper ticket-price. Does the audience in North America really have no choice other than to see it in 3D?
If all sequence has been shot, I don't think the conversion will hurt the movie's 2D format. Just like Clash of the Titans still looks impressive in 2D after 3D conversion.

Most films are offered in 2d and 3d at the same theaters. However, film conversions after the fact are just trasherific. There's the 50% lighting issue with 3d projection.
I saw Brave in 3d because the theater failed to differentiate in their ads the showtimes for 2d/3d. I.... thought it was totally unnecessary for the story. Hell, the only part of Avatar where it was marginally interesting was when the little air-jelly critters floated around. What it is translating to is simply racking up the ticket price with no additional value and often poorer quality visuals.

Suffice to say, 3D has a role in the artistic endeavor of film making, but it is often co-opted purely for business purposes (as is the case of Pacific Rim).
(Of course, this is just my opinion on the potentiality of 3D, even if the potential is often never met.)

Let's just hope for the best then. Also, if it becomes as good as Clash in the "monster fight" department, I won't complain much.
I will also check it later whether the IMAX here will force the audience to watch it in 3D or not.

I'm fairly confident that 3D is going to die soon. I haven't ever met anyone who's though when watching a movie "Wow, this sucks, I wish it was in 3D".
It's a gimmick, and it will die just like it did in the 50s and 80s.
Also, watching it makes my eyes hurt(and it barely even works). I'm sure I'm not the only one like that.

3D has been around as long as film has (literally), so it is more than a gimmick. It's a constantly tested, often rejected, method of film making that requires a certain degree of technology before it is even possible to adequately view. For much of its history the technology simply did not exist, but now some of it is possible, and as the process becomes cheaper (which it will), the technology will fall into the hands of various auteurs who will completely revolutionize the medium.
As for the comment listed above, somebody needs to put this technology into the hands of Terrance Malik. He will create something amazing.
That being said, my 3D rant is now officially over .

Someone needs to give the theaters a budget so they will run 3d properly then. Out of 10 or so 3d movies I've seen in various theaters, *TWO* were actually being projected properly and that's only because those two theaters were completely dedicated to 3d projection. From what I've read and what people in the business are telling me, they simply don't keep anyone on staff to properly set the things up.
And sadly, my 3d experience with "Dragon" was *not* one of the two winners. It was almost too dim to see what was going on in the night scenes (same problem with Brave). If I'm going to pay $3-$6 more per ticket, I kind of think I should get at least the visual quality I get in a 2d experience, not less.

3D has been tried twice before (50s and 80s), both times ostensibly to bring back cinema audiences in the face of competing technologies, namely first television, and then the VCR. You could say the modern wave has the same relationship with the internet and illegal downloading.
However, then, as now, 3D has several large disatvantages that prevent it becoming popular:
1. A large number of people can't see it: about 10% of the population cannot process the images to produce a 3D effect. 10% is a large audience share to lose, right out the gate. This includes myself, though I can see a bit if I concentrate.
2. It causes headaches for even more people (don't know the exact numbers, but I'd say most people will develop headaches after sufficient exposure). I definitely get some of this.
3. It reduces the image quality, due to the need for polaroid lenses, you basically are watching a movie through sun glasses, and getting the corresponding dimming.
4. It breaks immersion, the 3D effect basically reminds you that you're watching a movie. It brings you out of the experience, whereas 2D cinema draws you in, and you lose awareness of your surroundings. When you see a 3D effect you feel shocked.
5. It doesn't even work that well, now my eyes aren't good, so don't take my word for it, but I've heard that it doesn't even seem that 3D, as it's basically just layers at several different depths, rather then smooth gradations. It's basically like a pop up book, not true 3D.
6. It's expensive and difficult to shoot.
People are excited the first 1 or 2 times they see it and then get bored. It doesn't really add anything to the experience. The only people who love it are film executives, who see the possibilities for increased ticket prices, and electronics manufacturers, who see the chance to sell us new TVs now that everyone has HD television.
Now I'm not saying every new technology introduced is just a "gimmick". For instance, HD is great, I find Standard def cringe-worthy to go back to. Likewise, CGI is here to stay too, and I see it used in great ways. I even like Imax too. But 3D? Waste of time. If a bunch of guys come on here proclaiming their undying love for 3D movies, I might change my mind, but from my experience, most people are apathetic towards it at this stage. There's only so many times that seeing a ball be flung towards you can be shocking. Personally, I got my fill at Disney World at the age of 13. You get used to it pretty quickly though, at which point it simply becomes distracting.
EDIT: And it seems the cinema going public probably agrees with me.

Personally, I think the big gap is actually touch not so much for movies, but for games. Our sense of touch is perhaps the most fundamental of our senses. Besides feeling buttons, an the occasional shock controller, it doesn't see much use in our gaming experiences.

WASHINGTON — In nominating former federal prosecutor Mary Jo White to head the Securities and Exchange Commission, President Obama aimed a strong message at potential Wall Street miscreants: Watch out.
Obama amplified that decision Thursday by renominating Richard Cordray, a former state attorney general, as director of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Cordray's controversial recess appointment to the 2-year-old agency expires at the end of the year.
Obama said that White and Cordray were key to implementing the 2010 overhaul of financial regulations and protecting consumers and the financial system from the "kinds of abuse that nearly brought the economy to its knees."
"But it's not enough to change the law," Obama said in announcing the nominations at the White House, flanked by White and Cordray. "We also need cops on the beat to enforce the law."

Nov. 10, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - The MIT water polo team picked up an opening round, overtime win over Harvard on Saturday morning, before dropping their next two games, en route to a fourth place finish at the Collegiate Water Polo Association (CWPA) Northern Division Championship held in the Zesiger Pool over the weekend. With their win over the Crimson, the Engineers earned a spot in the CWPA Eastern championship in two weeks at the U.S. Naval Academy.
Tech drew rival Harvard in their opening round match-up, a team they lost to, 10-9, earlier in the season. After building a 3-1 halftime advantage, the Engineers saw their lead evaporate quickly in the second half, as the Crimson used a 4-1 run to take the lead early in the final period. With the game tied at seven in the final minute, both teams had great chances to win in regulation. Mike Smith-Bronstein came up with a huge defensive steal to deny the visitors. Out of a timeout, Smith-Bronstein had a chance to be the hero, but was denied by Harvard goalkeeper, Jay Connolly.
In overtime, Devin Lewis game the Engineers the lead with a shot from two meters out and Smith-Bronstein added an insurance goal to seal the victory. Lewis led the way with four goals, while Smith-Bronstein contributed three. Palmer Rosemond and Alex Mattfolk also found the back of the net. Columbus Leonard picked up the win, while making seven saves.
Following their dramatic opening round win, the Cardinal and Gray returned to the Zesiger Pool on Saturday night to take on the top overall seed in the tournament, Brown. Despite the best efforts from Leonard, who made 13 saves, including two on penalty throws, the Bears eventually pulled away from the hosts, winning 11-4. Smith-Bronsten, Lewis, Rosemond and John Preis were the goal scorers for MIT.
In their final contest of the weekend, the Engineers took on Iona College on Sunday afternoon with third place in the tournament on the line. For the second time this season, the Gaels outlasted MIT, winning this contest, 12-11. Smith-Bronstein (3), Lewis (2) and Mark Artz (2) powered the offensive attack, combining for seven of the 11 goals scored for the home team. Mattfolk, Rosemond, Matt Perkins and Matt Chapa added tallies. Leonard stopped nine shots in the losing effort.
MIT has qualified for the CWPA Eastern championship in Annapolis, Md. in two weeks. As the fourth seed in the North, the Engineers will open up against the top seed from the Southern Division, Princeton University on Friday, November 21 at 11:00 a.m.

Offical Suggestion wrote:Concise description:
- Allow players to create games that would setup a restriction on what ranks would be able to join the game.
- Setting up these games would be a premium only perk.
- When setting up, players would be allowed to restrict games to players that are one rank above and one rank below their current rank.
- After joining a rank restricted game, players would not be kicked out if their score dropped below the required score.
- These games would be treated the same as private games and dropped after the allotted time period.
- These games should be able to be searched for from game finder.
How this will benefit the site and/or other comments:
- Allows people to easily search out players will similar scores/skill levels.
- Gives people something to strive for.
- Allows players to play up a rank if they desire.
chapcrap wrote:Under new management, this suggestion is no longer deemed to be under rejected status. Please continue a discussion on it.
That being said, the new leadership has expressed a concern of activity:There needs to be some kind of tradeoff between allowing filtering and encouraging overall activity.
So, for those interested in this suggestion. Please be aware that it needs to be set up to encourage activity if the rank segregation in implemented. Please read agentcom's summation below.

There are many users on this site that would like this to be a feature. But for now, the official status of these suggestions is REJECTED. All of them. Even ones that limit to +/- 2 ranks above/below the creator's. No matter how creative or unique they have been, they have all been REJECTED up to this point. This is not to say that the discussion needs to stop, or that you should be discouraged from lending your support to this idea. However, as it stands now, this is not and will not be implemented. It has been suggested for a variety of reasons including reducing farming, reducing defenses to farming allegations, convenience and personal preference. If you must post a new suggestion of this manner, please catch yourself up on this idea's history. Your idea has probably been thought of and posted before. If you see any other topics that should be MERGED with this one, please post them here. - agentcom
On a similar note, other methods of segregation have also been REJECTED. For example:
By allowing this option only for premiums - viewtopic.php?f=471&t=100129&p=2274718
By allowing an option to disallow lower ranked players - viewtopic.php?f=471&t=68844

Or even by age - viewtopic.php?f=471&t=105383&p=2376063
By allowing players to drop a game that has a high point difference - viewtopic.php?f=471&t=156448&p=3429757

A poor and/or unwanted idea doesn't get any better/wanted just because it is repeatedly suggested.
Rank discrimination is still possible, CC just don't want to make it too easily done.
July 17, 2010:TheForgivenOne wrote:The reason this won't be done is that they believe if new recruits are less able to join games with high rankers, that means they are going to be playing with themselves more often. Games with new recruits are generally less enjoyable because they tend to deadbeat or suicide more often than experienced players. So new recruits would be less likely to stay and ultimately purchase premium because they would have a more negative experience by playing in games with more deadbeats like themselves. Along with the fact point segregation is bad. How are lower ranks supposed to learn if they can't find an open game against a higher rank? They will just keep learning bad strategies
Finally, some users have posted suggestions that you be able to filter Game Finder results by rank (among numerous other desired filters). This thread is not intended to cover such modifications to the Game Finder results and display. I recognize that there are topics along those lines that were merged with threads that were later merged here. However, if you would like to propose modifications to the Game Finder search results/display, please find an appropriate thread. One is here: viewtopic.php?f=471&t=104785&p=2365772
Mod Note(s):
-An error in merging resulted in a thread including this concept and a request to count Peloponnesian War as an "advanced" Map being merged in.

NORTON, Mass. - MIT men's swimming and diving opened the 2006 NEWMAC Championships with solid performances all-around, and currently finds itself in just off the pace of second-place Springfield heading into day two of the championships. The Bears of the U.S. Coast Guard Academy won four of six events, including both relays, to move in front in the team standings.
The Engineers finished second in the 200 free relay, closing in the time of 1:24.68. The race was extremely tight, with the top four teams separated by only .3 seconds, while all four squads earned NCAA "B" cuts. MIT senior Grady Snyder supplied the fastest split of the event on the anchor leg with a clip of 20.76.
Senior Mark Liao finished fourth for the Cardinal and Gray in the 500 free, but after missing most of the season, his performance easily served as one of the top highlights of the year. Liao was just off his personal record in finishing with a time of 4:42.92.
The Bears' Bobby Brown held off Springfield's Dan Moran for the victory, while both Brown and Moran clipped the NCAA standard. The 200 IM featured an interesting final as Coast Guard and MIT comprised seven of the eight spots. The Bears impressively swept the top three spots, while Tech grabbed fourth through seventh. Senior Matthieu Fuzellier led the way for MIT, closing with a mark of 1:57.34.
Snyder and Josiah Rosmarin gave MIT some pop in the 50 free, taking third and fourth, respectively. Snyder earned an NCAA "B" cut after posting a final time of 21.27.
MIT closed the first finals session with a second-place finish in the 400 medley relay. The Engineers' final time of 3:28.63 just edged out the final split posted by Springfield, while MIT secured another NCAA cut with the finish. Snyder anchored the relay with a time of 45.83 in the 100-free circuit.

You Better WORK!
Now I have 25 pounds of King Arthur Flour (employee owned, that company, why buy flour from anyone else?), 10 pounds of sugar, a 7-pound can of tomatoes (it was $3.49), a pound of cinnamon, 9 pairs of gym socks, and the other goodies pictured above. Thank you Bergh parents for helping feed the Weaver-Bergh family!
When I told my friend Hannah that I had made my first Costco visit, her response was: "Did you know that you can buy coffins at Costco? And that you can buy a PINK one!??" Now I know. Now YOU all know.
Let me not forget New Favorite Thing Number Two. RuPaul's Drag Race. Words fail. Go see it and see if you can guess who my FAVORITE is. Write your guess in my comments, I'll draw a winner from the correct answers, and I'll send you a skein of handspun yarn in a color scheme of your choice, girlfriend. Thanks for this one, Jill, I mean it.
Many people who have made my very first knitty pattern, Neiman, have remarked that the waist shaping takes place too quickly, and my mom agreed and asked to have her Neiman's waist shaping redone. She's my mom, I love her, so I ripped out the bottom 7 inches and reknit it... and the hem facing... you can see the reknit portion because it's kinky from the reused yarn (a good soak will clear that up). Love you, mom, and thanks for helping feed the Weaver-Bergh family!
More yarn for etsy coming soon. In the meantime, MAKE YOUR GUESSES!!! AND MAY THE BEST WOMAN WIN!!!

I love Costco, but some of my favorite items are not available anymore. I recently bought a big shaker of Saigon cinnamon and love it. good thing, too, since I won't be running out of it any time soon.
I'm going to guess that your favorite is Rebecca Glasscock. I have no rationale for this but I thought I'd venture a guess.

Thanks for clueing me into the Drag Race, they are ALL winners. I love Porkchop and Ongina. I'm guessing your fave is the punky fabulous Nina Flowers. I had no idea you could buy coffins at Costco, bizarre. We have a BJs, which is the same thing. What are you going to do with a pound of cinnamon?

I just joined Costco after buying at SAMS club for a few years. But SAMS club closed down a couple of weeks ago, so back to Costco I go.
I haven't watched the show, but I think maybe Ongina :-)

Coffins at Costco? That is cool. Now that I live in a place with almost no storage I can no longer shop there.
They are all fab. I guess Tammie Brown.

OMG! I watched 5 episodes today while finishing the edging for a little girl's tank top which will be a 4-year-old's birthday gift tomorrow. (I might be the world's slowest knitter.)
We have no TV but I'm sure glad that I can watch stuff on the Net now. Drag Race is something I've never heard of, and it is such a far cry from the Bill Moyers Journal shows that I watch on the 'Net.
Anyway, my guess is that your fave is Nina Flowers. She is also my fave, although Ongina is very pretty, sweet, and was raised in the same country where I was. She looks so much like my girlfriends from high school and seems like someone I would like to be my girlfriend now.
I love your blog and your designs. I am a newish knitter and just discovered your blog in the last 6 months or so. Thanks for sharing all your work and for your blog.
And tomorrow, I might be going to Costco for the first time! :)

Dear Ouidad:
My biggest problem is trying to deal with the frizz that happens as a result of working out. If I work out in the morning I want to be able to wear my curly hair to work without having to wash it. I only like to wash my hair 3 times a week, and I want to work out more often than that. I've even tried a Brazilian Blowout to help with frizz but my hair still looks frizzy after a workout. What can I do to refresh my curls and make them look better before work?- Jamie 3B
This is a very common question that I receive from active curlies and I'm glad you are not letting your curls deter you from sticking to your routine. Give your curls a post workout boost with my Botanical Boost Moisture Infusing & Refreshing Spray. Designed to soften, moisturize, detangle and fight frizz, this is the perfect pick me up without having to rewash your hair! Our 2.5 ounce travel size is great to leave in your gym bag.

2014 Silverado & Sierra PickupsPosted in Vehicle Reviews on May 1, 2013
We had a chance to look over the new Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra recently and are excited about more than just what's under the hood. Now we can tell you a fair amount on these trucks, but there is still plenty left untold since GM has not released power or performance numbers, nor did we actually get to drive one (much less in the dirt as we'd like), but all that will be revealed soon.
The most exciting news is the new GM small-block family or, as they like to call them, the EcoTec3 engines. These are the new Gen V small-block powerplants, and the new half-tons will be offered with two V-8s and a redesigned V-6. There are a lot of body and frame changes as well, but for the most part the overall recipe stays the same: body on frame, six-speed automatic transmission, independent front suspension, and leaf-sprung rear axle.
We'll give you a quick overview now and check back as soon as we can get behind the wheel to deliver real world drive impressions.
These three cutaway display engines show the new direct-injection gas small-block family of truck engines for the '14 Chevy and GMC trucks. There is a 5.3L V-8, a 6.2L V-8, and a 4.3L V-6. All are brand-new, even the V-6, which hasn't had a major overhaul in over 20 years. These engines have high compression ratios, variable valve timing, and cylinder deactivation that allow them to run on just four cylinders when needed for optimal fuel economy. In case you're wondering, they will bolt up to older transmissions, but swapping one in your '72 Blazer may require fancy computer work. We, like you, are already dreaming.
The interiors offer a plethora of "connectivity." GM's Mylink and Intelilink systems allow drivers and passengers to interface through a large touch screen featuring audio, phone, and navigation. In one of the vehicles we counted up to six different power ports for USB, 12-volt, and 110-volt charging or downloading. The transfer case shift dial is right beside (and oddly the same size as) the headlight dial on the dash along with optional trailer brake controls.
