Right the intersection of power money and scandal is a recurring problem in Washington has bedeviled many administrations in the past and it -- this one now repair.
Is the anchor of special report.
Fascinating and very troubling that the Secret Service is at the center of his latest one I mean they are.
-- you know responsible above all for the protection of the president responsible for tracking down counterfeiters.
All kinds of you know.
An upright reputation I guess that the Secret Service and it's hard to believe.
in the middle of this one breath.
Did -- I I think this is shocking as it continues to unfold.
The fact that two supervisors.
Are involved.
So far and it potentially could involve.
Is something that is raising a lot of eyebrows here in Washington -- -- right the Secret Service has been described as the best of the best.
They are willing to take a -- -- a bullet for the president's.
They are usually in the interaction.
With top officials very professional and that's why this is shaken Washington.
So much.
It also kind of overlaps.
In this week -- the last couple of weeks about this GSA investigation.
Not so much that the president is at.
He is responsible for it and you saw a lot of push back on the Sunday shows for that.
But something Charles Krauthammer said on on my panel George Will echoed this weekend.
Is that concern about big government and the ability to.
Police or have a leash on all of this doesn't bode well for.
This government as it stands now yes symptomatic of of problems if you're if you're finding problems at an agency like the Secret Service which as you say.
Is supposed to be the best of the best it makes you wonder what else is going on in other lesser known corners of government.
Yeah I think there is.
Broadly a distrust.
Of government that has increased in recent years.
There is broadly a a disrespect.
For institutions as more of these.
Scandals come up now it's different the Secret Service situation and that GSA.
The general service administration and those conferences in the lavish.
The pictures in that the descriptions we've heard they're different scandals.
But it does there is kind of a broad overview.
Of concerned about what's happening with.
You -- tax dollars and I think both of these investigations have a long way to go before they're finished and you're seeing both sides of the aisle way and pretty aggressively.
On both of them.
-- talking about the GSA the General Services Administration there is outright fraud in that agency that costs taxpayers.
Millions of dollars a year according to the agency's own inspector general.
One example was a couple of government contractors.
Who were taking government credit cards and selling gas to people.
That discount prices and then pocketing the difference apparently they -- themselves about 300000 dollars according to this inspector general's report and that's just one.
Of many prosecutions of GSA contract.
I think is just the tip of the iceberg John I really do when you.
Shine a light on on something it often.
A lead you to something else and I think that these committees are now engaged up on Capitol Hill to continue looking.
I think.
This is just so brazen.
It has.
-- struck a chord with people around the country and that picture of the of the supervisor sitting in the tub is now.
But it.
Will probably raise the curtain on a number of different organizations.
Inside government that have a lot of waste.
Yeah and when that you know -- the government.
Create some of these agencies in the stimulus programs and so forth -- to try to spend money to you know stimulate the economy that money starts sloshing around in certain corners of the country.
And gets misspent.
Which goes back to the main point that Charles made a couple times and our panel and.
And again George Will made this weekend that advocates of big government.
This is trouble for that because.
Big government is often unwieldy.
And and it often results in situations.
Like this where you have.
Different organizations that have trouble containing.
A lot of aspects of how they run their operations from the intersection of money politics and scandal as we've said at the start.
Prepare backs.

Go Adam Scott is a genius! by mcandek Along with a great roster of supporting characters (the great Catherine O'Hara! Amy Poehler!) Scott brings his dry sense of humor to this entertaining film. I wasn't blown away by it, but did enjoy it...

South Africa's president says Nelson Mandela will be buried on Sunday, Dec. 15.

When I read the new picture book Sky Color, I was reminded of a fascinating piece from Radiolab called "Why Isn't the Sky Blue?". In different ways, Peter Reynolds' new picture book and the Radiolab program acknowledge that the color concept of a clear blue sky may be largely a social and linguistic construction.
In Sky Color, Marisol has the opportunity to share in painting a mural in her school library. When she can't find the color blue, which she thinks she needs for the sky, she thinks a bit more on how to represent the sky on her mural. That night, she has a dream and realizes she may not need the color blue to present the color of the sky after all.
Sky Color is the third in a series of picture books by Peter H. Reynolds about creativity. The first two titles are The Dot and Ish.
How does creativity work? Moreover, how do we harness creativity, both individually and as a group? These are the questions explored in the book Imagine: How Creativity Works by Jonah Lehrer, contributing editor at Wired magazine and author of Proust Was a Neuroscientist and How We Decide.
The book is divided into two parts, "Alone" and "Together," where Alone uses current brain research to discuss individual creativity, and Together explores history to uncover the roots of societal and group creativity. In Alone, Lehrer distinguishes two types of individual creativity. The first is what I call the "Aha!" creativity. These Eureka moments occur most often when one is not overly-focused, letting one's mind drift and broaden enough to make subtle connections between seemingly-unrelated points of knowledge. In contrast, the second type of individual creativity is reminiscent of the Thomas Edison's quote, "Genius is 1% inspiration, 99% perspiration." That is, in order to materialize one's new ideas and Eureka moments, one must maintain enough focus and persistence to carry the concept to completion. While these two creative processes, non-focused and hyper-focused, may inhibit one another, they are complementary ways for an individual's creative ideas to be realized.
In part two, Together, Lehrer discusses how creative outputs of societies and organizations often depend on how they are structured, both physically and socially. For example, the dynamics of cities with high population densities almost force their inhabitants to interact with a diverse range of people and ideas, enabling various forms of thought and action to synergize in new ways. On a smaller scale, companies have gone so far as to design their campus architecture in ways that maximize casual communication and idea sharing among disparate departments. There is even historical evidence to show that groups seeking competitive advantage by hiding their innovations from one another (with non-disclosure agreements, etc.) actually hamper the group's own creative potential in the long run. These are fascinating conclusions for both groups and individuals about how diverse experiences and cooperation are often invaluable for creativity.
In conclusion, I've learned a lot about "how creativity works." The main concepts I've gleaned from Imagine are: on a personal level, a state of non-focus (almost akin to boredom) allows one to see the big picture and let those "Aha!" moments arise. On the other hand, many incredible works of art, literature, and science have been created by persistent focus and sustained concentration. On a social level, exposure to new ways of doing and thinking—often through unintended or casual collaboration—is the best way to create novel concepts among groups. Imagine helped me understand the creative process and gave me some new ideas of my own.
I note that, in "reading" the audiobook version of Imagine, this is the first audiobook I've heard that was narrated by the author themself. Thereby, I have no basis for comparison, but if you're interested in the audio version of this book, I think that the author does a pretty good job of narrating the stories, conversations, and research throughout.
Publication Issues: Self-Plagiarizing and Quote Fabrication
Imagine—or rather, its author's reputation—has been marred in the media by the author's oversight on two critical publishing issues. The first is that Lehrer "self-plagiarized" by virtually cut-and-pasting portions of his magazine articles into the book without citations. Second – and most infamous – is his fabrication of a quote by folk rock legend Bob Dylan. It seems that, in centering the first few chapters of the book on Bob Dylan's creative process, Lehrer basically conjured up a short but non-existent quote by the artist, perhaps to bring the narrative together. Not a good move.
Jonah Lehrer, as a fairly young but brilliant journalist and author, received ample notoriety and job opportunities prior to finishing Imagine. Did Lehrer simply stretch himself too thin as an impressive new writer? Whatever the case, I strongly think that (omitting the Dylan quote) Imagine is an excellent book that I would strongly recommend to readers interested in the creative mind, the artistic process, and the ways that groups can innovate.
Peter McCarty is a Caldecott honoree illustrator; that is, he won an award for his artwork for his picture book: Hondo and Fabian. His most recent picture book is Chloe, featuring a little bunny who has a mother and a father and twenty brothers and sisters; Chloe is in the middle.
One day, Chloe's dad surprises everyone and brings home a new television set for some family fun. After dinner the family watches a television program. However, watching television is definitely not fun for Chloe who decides that playing with the tv box and bubble wrap packaging is much more entertaining and imaginative. Soon, each of Chloe's siblings dumps the tv show and joins their sister Chloe. Even mom and dad can't resist Chloe's bubble-wrap popping and bigbox playtime!
Peter McCarthy's calm, ethereal, sometimes comical illustrations are adorable. He's written several children's books and the first book that got my attention is Honda and Fabian, a story about a dog and a cat. Baby Steps is based on a month by month chronicle of his daughter Suki's first year of life with the most beautiful, delicate life-like drawings of a baby.
I have been familiar with many of Michelangelo's works since college when I took a class titled "The Arts and Letters of Michelangelo". A wonderful class, the professor greatly elaborated upon the Neoplatonic views that were circulating at this time among philosophers such as Marsilio Ficino, and how Michelangelo incorporated these views into his artwork. I was happy to find that this book does the same thing, as well as, discusses the political and cultural climate of Italy in the late 15th to early 16th centuries. The author John Spike seems to have a keen insight and understanding into the artist.
Young Michelangelo tells us about Michelangelo's upbringing including his beginning as an artist under the direction of Domenico Ghirlandaio and in the garden of Lorenzo de' Medici. We are introduced to Michelangelo's first works, the Madonna of the Stairs and the Battle of the Centaurs, as well as sketches he did after frescoes by Masaccio and Ghirlandaio. These extant works show how versatile and talented Michelangelo was as a young artist in different mediums. The book talks about his Bacchus, David, Pieta, and other early commissions before going into details about his long and complex relationship with Giuliano della Rovere, a.k.a. Pope Julius II. We see the beginnings of his longtime habit of taking on more in commissions than he could finish and leaving projects in an unfinished state.
The author, John Spike, is very good at explaining the different stresses in Michelangelo's life and interpreting his response to these stresses, whether they are the political climate of his native Florence, the wishes of a demanding patron, or competition from other artists. The opinion of many art historians is that three Italian Renaissance artists catapulted themselves above the rest in their ability to produce extraordinary artwork at this time. Michelangelo was one of these artists, the other two being Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael Sanzio. Spike also discusses Michelangelo's interactions with these two artists. Michelangelo was put in direct competition with da Vinci through a fresco commission in Florence; Raphael he writes off as a young kid of mediocre talent until he also comes under the commission of the pope. Contemporaries who knew each other personally, it is very interesting to me to hear how they interacted with and perceived one another with their very different attitudes and quirks.
Spike has done a lot of research to write this book. I would like him to write a Part II that would be a biography of Michelangelo's later life talking about his continued issues with Julius II and his issues cooperating with his assistants. In my opinion, Young Michelangelo seems to abruptly end. There is no conclusion and the last work of art the author talks about in the work is actually a fresco by Raphael. The format of the book also seems a bit strange. The first chapters are of a nice length but the very last chapter of the book reminds me of a run-on sentence being much longer. It strikes me as unfinished and lacking conclusion; the subtitle is "the Path to the Sistine", so please, tell me about the Sistine in another book! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about Michelangelo's early life though. It amazing the kinds of work he was able to produce at such a young age!

Comments about Fisher Football Skill Zone Target System:
We got this for my 15 year old QB. He "whips" the ball pretty hard at the target and it withstands that. It seems very sturdy. This is a great price for this product also...I searched far and wide to find a target for at home use. I like the ease of putting it together and ease of taking it down to move or put in for the winter.

Like most other shorts of similar style, these ride up when running. However, these are ridiculously cute (I got them in black). The inseam is short, but not uncomfortably short. These shorts are perfect!

See EmacsHistory for info on the various Emacs incarnations mentioned here, and [1] for the Emacs family tree.
EMACS exists because I felt free to make individually useful small improvements on a path whose end was not in sight. – RMS, EMACS: The Extensible, Customizable Display Editor, http://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/emacs-paper.html |
That's not a bad summary of what free/open software development is all about, IMO:
The fact that useful software changes can be individually useful and small, without being part of an overall predefined design, is maybe not an explicit tenet of the philosophy of free software development, but it is in fact a precondition and a consequence of such development. The idea that individually useful changes are likely to lead to something that is useful in the aggregate is important – and not obvious, in terms of modularity and group design & development.
This free/open software development model (combine individually useful changes, without necessarily adhering to a predefined design) reminds me of the Unix philosophy (vs what came before it) of producing small, modular programs that can easily be combined to produce more powerful functionality (vs monolithic, swiss-army-knife, do-all systems/functions). Here's the question:
The same question, applied to functional programming:
IOW, it's about modularity, and modularity is all about glue: the ability to combine pieces.
For a fabulous essay on the modularity and "glue" of functional programming, see John Hughes's classic, Why Functional Programming Matters: http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/dat/miranda/whyfp90.pdf or http://www.md.chalmers.se/~rjmh/Papers/whyfp.html. From the Introduction (emphasis added):
An analogy is then drawn with the "no GOTO
!" arguments in favor of structured programming – and the conclusion is that it is its modularity, not its lack of GOTO
, that gives structured programming its advantage. The rest of the paper explores the modularity advantages provided by higher-order functions and lazy evaluation.
I heartily recommend this 20-year old paper. I guarantee that it is an eye-opener, no matter how familiar you are with functional programming and programming-language design.
Here, BTW, is what John himself says about this paper:
This paper shows how two key features of functional languages—higher-order functions (which take other functions as arguments) and lazy evaluation (which defers computations until their results are really needed)—combine to let programmers break algorithms into small, flexible, reusable parts. It argues that functional languages support the development of reusable software much better than conventional languages, in other words.
At the time I wrote it, researchers were more likely to emphasize mathematical reasoning and the absence of side-effects—but it's difficult to sell a programming paradigm on the things it lacks! The perspective in my paper has influenced many researchers since, and can perhaps be said to lie partly behind a focus in recent years on "domain specific embedded languages". These are flexible libraries of functions that permit programmers to solve problems of a certain class just by combining library functions, in effect working in a special purpose programming language for that particular kind of task.
I wrote the paper in 1984 as a post-doc, but misjudged its significance completely. I thought it would be unpublishable, because it contained no difficult research results, just a manifesto and some nice programming examples. So I circulated it privately to friends, who passed it on to others, and soon I found it turning up in the most unexpected places. Finally, after five years, I was invited to submit it to the Computer Journal. —http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~rjmh/citations/my_most_influential_papers.htm
Coming back to free/open software development – By analogy, what is the "glue" that makes this kind of development work? What makes it possible to glue many small, individually useful software changes together and still get something worthwhile accomplished? How does this work, even in the absence (some might argue especially in the absence) of a predefined design? That's a question for reflection. Some may hark back to Adam Smith for an answer; others, to Mikhail Bakunin; still others, to Karl Marx. I'd say that the question is open, but these are at least part of the "glue" answer:
… though sometimes I think Emacs uses me. In fact, Emacs and I have used each other since the mid 1980s.
First, I used Gosling Emacs (we just called it Emacs), with Mock Lisp. Mock Lisp was fun – er, a mess. No real lists at all. No real arguments to functions – just error-prone global-variable pseudo-arguments. In fact, about the only thing it had in common with Lisp was the parentheses. Fun, though.
But Gosling Emacs was Emacs, in any case: an extendable text editor that you could do what you want with. It impressed me quite a lot, after years (don't ask!) programming with other editors of various sorts (I said, don't ask!). I was impressed with its programmability – on the fly, no less (interpreted language). I was particularly impressed with TAGS – hit a key on a name in a program somewhere and shazzam!…takes you to the defining source code. Magic. Cool. Handy.
The other remarkable thing I noticed about Emacs was that it was self documenting. Long before objects began orienting themselves with an eye to fashion, Emacs objects spoke to you about themselves. And, though Emacs's hyperlinked Info manuals might seem, well, ordinary now, next to the Web, at that time there was no Web, and online hyperlinked documentation didn't even exist – except for Emacs Info. Cool it was.
Anyway… From Gosling Emacs we moved to GNU Emacs, with EmacsLisp, when it came along. We also used Zmacs, on Symbolics Lisp machines. I programmed mostly in Lisp then anyway (Franz and Common), so these Emacs versions were great to have.
Over the years, I've customized the hell out of Emacs. At first it was just new commands, functions, and key bindings, but when Epoch (French Wikipedia page) came out (with proportional fonts, colored faces, frames, images, menus, and such) there was suddenly a lot more you could do to make Emacs (Epoch) fit your individual needs or dreams. The combination of these new, powerful features with the somewhat limited out-of-the-box user interface positively ignited user customization, and I was no exception.
The downside of doing a lot of customization is having to redo it when a new Emacs version comes out and lots of basic stuff has changed so that things are incompatible. I've been there & done that way too many times. The last couple of major releases, I've ended up abandoning useful stuff I wrote just because I didn't have the time to upgrade it. That's OK; some of it deserved to be left behind.
And Emacs has improved greatly over the years. I still use Emacs 20, as well as later versions through the latest development builds. When feasible and not too much trouble, I try to make my EmacsLisp code compatible across versions.
This page describes my EmacsLisp libraries: DrewsElispLibraries.
NOTE: All of my libraries that are on EmacsWiki are also obtainable from MELPA. What's more, you can be pretty sure that they are untampered with, because their wiki pages are locked except to EmacsWiki administrators.

Hey Drew, I just wanted to let you know that your emacs libraries are so much awesome. I totally dig Icicles, and can hardly wait to install DoReMi. Even the ones I don't use (FisheyeWithThumbs isn't much use for a guy who prefers a single frame) are still awesome in their design. Thank you! – JonathanArkell
Thank you Jonathan. Enjoy! Bug reports and suggestions welcome. Thx – DrewAdams
Hi Drew! There is 'reporter-submit-bug-report'
, a autoload function to send a bug report with dumping variables. I wonder why you do not use it. – rubikitch
Hi Rubikitch. I have used it. I don't recall why I don't use it more now. Why do you ask? – DrewAdams
I think 'reporter-submit-bug-report'
is useful especially variable dump. I want to know the drawback of it because you do not use it. I'll try to use it. Thanks. – rubikitch
It doesn't mean anything special that I don't use it. ;-) I agree that it can be useful to dump a select set of relevant variables (as opposed to a humongous list, for instance) into a bug-report mail skeleton. I've just never bothered. The only info I gather automatically is (emacs-version)
– e.g. command 'bmkp-send-bug-report'
Typically, I'm interested in other things the user can describe about the problem, and I'll just ask about any vars I think might be pertinent if they aren't spontaneously reported. But that's not a reason not to use 'reporter'
. Regards – DrewAdams
Hi there. There are many free SCM web services out there like GitHub and BitBucket?… why not use a repository for easy access to your great libraries? – RyanKaskel
You can find all of Drews libraries at http://github.com/emacsmirror as well as all others hosted here on the wiki (almost). – JonasBernoulli
Excellent. Thanks – DrewAdams
That's a red herring. Having one's libraries included in some mirror makes it no more convenient to track the development and contribute. But I already stated my opinion on the matter (IMO clearly enough) in IciclesDiscussion and Drew deleted it now, so… whatever. – stepnem
Thanks for leaving a welcome message on my wiki page. I use your brilliant Icicles mode every day. Incredible work - that must have taken a HUGE amount of effort. I've put real time into reading your documentation and still haven't explored every last corner yet.
Every advanced completion system ever made will look to Icicles for inspiration/guidance. Congratulations on making something really exceptional.
And thanks so much for putting all the hard work into releasing it!! Writing documentation and packaging a large piece of software like that takes a whole lot of effort. I really, really appreciate it and so do a lot of other people I'm sure. Thank you ☺ – jlr
Glad you find Icicles and the doc useful. Enjoy. – DrewAdams
In hl-line+
, the function hl-line-flash
ignores the arg
argument and just looks at current-prefix-arg
directly. Would it make more sense to define the function like this?
(defun hl-line-flash (&optional arg) "Highlight the current line for `hl-line-flash-show-period' seconds. Or if ARG is non-nil, then highlight for that many seconds." (interactive "P") (hl-line-highlight-now) (let ((line-period hl-line-flash-show-period)) (when arg (setq line-period (prefix-numeric-value arg))) (run-at-time line-period nil #'hl-line-unhighlight-now)))
(I've never communicated via the Wiki like this before. Sorry if I didn't do it right.) – PhilipWeaver
Yes, of course it would. Dunno why I left it like that. Thx - DrewAdams
Hey Drew, thanks for all the great code. Just wondering, is cus-edit+.el compatible with the recent "Custom Themes" feature? TIA --DaveAbrahams
Hi Dave. Dunno. I haven't changed it in years, so it is probably out of date in some respects. If you have the time to take a look and let me know, I'll put it on my to-do list. Thx – DrewAdams
query-replace-w-options does not offer the thing at point as default (occur does)?? I would love to have query-replace-w-options pick up the thing at point. At the end of my .emacs:
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/.emacs.d/replace_plus/") (eval-after-load "replace" '(progn (require 'replace+)))
Running 23.3 under Windows--Thanks [[Mike_F?]]
I don't understand. For 'M-n'
, it should be picking up the 'symbol-name-nearest-point'
if you use library ThingAtPoint+, or the 'word-at-point'
otherwise. What is your value of 'search/replace-default-fn'
Remember that the default in this sense is what you get via 'M-n'
. Query-replace has a different default behavior if you just hit 'RET'
with no typed input. This is a feature. 'M-n'
lets you get the thing at point, and an empty 'RET'
lets you repeat the last query-replace.
You will need to describe just what you're doing (recipe), so I can understand the problem. Thx – DrewAdams
I did not know about 'M-n'
to access the thing at point. Works great! I really like the functionality where occur opens using the thing at point with one key.
To clarify, 'M-n'
does not access the thing at point, in general. 'M-n'
inserts the (first) default value into the minibuffer. In the case at hand, that default value comes from the thing at point.
Hi Drew,
One downside I notice with many of the enhancements such as compile- and grep+ is that they stomp on the face settings from the zenburn theme I use. I could try to load all your stuff first, but I really don't like to load things eagerly. What's your recommendation? – DaveAbrahams
Should be OK now. Let me know if you find other such problems. Thx – DrewAdams
Hi Drew
I would like to suggest the following improvements to icomplete+: (1) Optionally don't show matched menu entries (as opposed to key bindings), (2) Don't show the string "Matched;", the meaning of the keys that follow is kind of obvious once one has used the library for longer than a few minutes, (3) Like not all suffixes are shown when that would make the minibuffer higher than one line do the same for key bindings. Thanks. – JonasBernoulli
Good ideas. Please try the latest icomplete+.el. See option 'icompletep-include-menu-items-flag'
. Let me know. Thx – DrewAdams
Thanks a lot.
1. Unfortunately key abbreviation is too aggressive. It kicks in even when there is more than enough room. Also the calculation does not seem to be based on the available space and nothing else; other conditions have an effect too. For example when the user provided text in the minibuffer is "describe-key-" then the bindings are not abbreviated but when completed to "describe-key-briefly" then it is (at 92char line-length) - even though there is more space available now (because no possible match is shown which takes more space).
2. Speaking of "describe-key", another suggestion: when completed this far and enough space is available show the key binding even though it is not a unique match.
3. Oh and one more ;) Sort the bindings so that the shortest (non-prefix) is first. Thanks again! – JonasBernoulli
You're welcome.
#1: I think I've fixed the problem you mentioned.
#2: No can do.
#3 was already the case: keys are sorted by length (but disregarding any prefix/non-prefix, which I think makes sense). HTH – DrewAdams
hi, DrewAdams. I find a problem in dired+.el long time. The two `dired-do-delete` and `dired-do-flagged-delete` function replace in `dired.el` show a different behaviour On Windows .
1. First, I setup (setq delete-by-moving-to-trash t) to using-systems-trash-when-deleting-files.
2. when I do not use the dired+.el, in the dired mode , when I press `D` on some files/directories, emacs can delete files into the Recycle Bin directory correctly.
3. Then I require dired.el, in the dired mode, when I press `D` on some files/directories, emacs will delete files/directorys directly from disk, and do not delete files into the Recycle Bin directory.
4. I comment the two function `dired-do-delete` and `dired-do-flagged-delete` in `dired+`.el. Then reboot emacs, when i delete files/directories in dired mode, emacs will delete files into windeows's Recycle Bin directory correctly.
please fixed it. Thank you. – [[pocoyo?]]
Thanks for the report. Should be fixed now. Note: this is a new feature, for Emacs 24, which has not yet been released. Since it is not released, I do not necessarily support it yet. – DrewAdams
Salut Drew, do you think it would be possible to restructure browse-kill-ring into a minor mode ? Especially with your extension, browse-kill-ring+, it would be nice to get be able to set a major mode for browsing a list : I set 'browse-kill-ring-alternative-ring'
to 'read-expression-history'
and it would be neat to get proper emacs-lisp-mode fontification. – [[pgh?]]
Salut Pgh,
Possibly it would be possible ;-), but (a) I don't really have the time now and (b) I don't want to rewrite the original browse-kill-ring.el
. I've submitted the browse-kill-ring+.el enhancements to the original author, but he has never answered or included any of them (so I could get rid of my enhancement library).
Maybe you can convince him to take this on. Or maybe you can send me a patch to implement the minor mode. Or maybe I'll get around to taking a look at doing it someday. Feel free to provide more details about how you see it working – email is easier than dialoging via the wiki. Thanks for the suggestion, in any case.
I agree that a minor mode could make sense, and your desire to have the mode be 'emacs-lisp-mode'
for 'read-expression-history'
in order to get its font-locking is a good reason. For now, maybe you can make use of 'browse-kill-ring-hook'
to at least change the font-locking etc.
FWIW, I rarely use browse-kill-ring[+].el
myself. Instead, I use Icicles, where 'C-- C-y'
lets you insert kills using completion. It is a multi-command, meaning that you can yank as many kills as you like, including yanking the same kill multiple times, during a single 'C-- C-y'
invocation. And you can sort the candidate yanks on the fly in various ways. And filter them on the fly, with multiple filter patterns (progressive completion). Etc. – DrewAdams
Could you please fix this warning: icomplete+.el:1034:1:Warning: the function 'icicle-completing-p'
is not known to be defined. – JonasBernoulli
Nope, sorry. The code is correct. The use of that function is guarded by a test for (a) the library it is defined in and (b) the mode where it would be active.
There are many such warnings in code that is designed to work, optionally, with some other libraries or with more than one Emacs version. In recent Emacs versions you can use 'declare-function'
to declare that a given function is defined in a given library, but that is not possible in older Emacs versions, where 'declare-function'
is not available. (icomplete+.el, for example, supports Emacs versions back to at least Emacs 20. – DrewAdams
I am using 24.1 which is fairly recent and nope it is not correctly garded. This would do:
- (and (boundp 'icicle-mode) icicle-mode (icicle-completing-p)) + (and (boundp 'icicle-mode) (fboundp 'icicle-completing-p) icicle-mode (icicle-completing-p))
Testing whether icicle-mode is boundp has nothing to with whether icicle-completing-p is fboundp as far as the byte-compiler is concerned. – JonasBernoulli
Sorry, I disagree completely with the idea of writing such guards solely to inhibit byte-compiler warnings. That is not their purpose. And that is not the right way to inhibit such byte-compiler warnings. (The right way is to use 'declare-function'
, as I mentioned.)
The purpose of the guards in this code is to ensure that the program logic is correct. And as such they should also be as simple and transparent to someone reading the code as is possible without sacrificing other programming concerns that might be relevant in the given context (correctness, performance, etc.).
Reducing byte-compiler noise is not such a concern. Or rather, that concern is secondary and should not be mixed in with the program logic. That is why we have separate means of handling it: (1) vacuous 'defvar'
s for variables and (2) 'declare-function'
for functions.
If the guard 'icicle-mode'
is true then (fboundp 'icicle-completing-p)
is true also – the latter serves no purpose for the program logic, and is only distracting, if not misleading, for a human reader of the code.
[Well, it is not necessarily the case that non-'nil'
implies that 'icicle-completing-p'
is defined. Nothing prevents someone from defining a variable 'icicle-mode'
without loading Icicles. There is no guarantee, with any such guards.]
Not to mention the fact that adding the 'fboundp'
guard you propose will not prevent such a byte-compiler warning in older Emacs versions.
That the byte-compiler cannot recognize the relation between 'icicle-mode'
being true and 'icicle-completing-p'
being defined is a byte-compiler limitation, not a code problem. Enabling the byte compiler to detect more possibly problematic situations is in general a good thing. But if sufficient smarts do not accompany and temper/control the printing of such warnings then the result can be extra noise, which is not always helpful. – DrewAdams
Hello Drew! I noticed that LaCarte does not work properly with org-mode in Emacs 24. It seems to have to do with a new keymap format see e.g. http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=12744. It would be great if you update it. I do not have the lisp knowledge to do so. Thanks for your great libraries! – LennartFricke?
Hi Lennart. Yes, I noticed that bug report and worked on a fix for LaCarte this morning. Please try the latest and let me know what you find. Thx – DrewAdams
Hi Drew! I did not know, if you are watching the bug reports. It is working. Thanks – LennartFricke?
Why do you still use Emacs 20? Emacs releases are very stable, I think running the latest release is the best choice. – XueFuqiao
Hi Fuqiao. For the reason I gave: I try to make my code compatible across Emacs versions. Why that? Because there are users of older Emacs versions. In some cases users have no easy way to install Emacs themselves, and the version available at their organization (e.g. company) is old.
So I use Emacs 20 often when developing and testing my code. If something works in 20 then it likely works in later versions. For features that are not present in 20, that's one way to discover that and conditionalize the code. But I have to use multiple versions to get the conditionalization right, of course.
In addition to that, Emacs 20, though more limited, is actually a good version, on MS Windows at least. Far better than Emacs 21, IMHO (I have never been able to stand using 21 – no font anti-aliasing, for one thing). Each Emacs release has brought important new features and other improvements, obviously.
FWIW, I find Emacs 24 quite unstable, whether 24.1, 24.2, 24.3 (soon to be), or development versions (24.4). It crashes a lot, at least in my context. That is not true of Emacs 23.
The great leap forward of Emacs 23 was the introduction of Unicode support. That outweighs all other changes I've seen in 22 or 24, by far. Of course, I am not a user of bidi editing, so I cannot really appreciate the value of that (Emacs 24).
The integration of TomTromey's package.el
in Emacs 24 is a definite plus. And the addition of OrgMode, Semantic and CEDET to Emacs are also important.
But I am not much of an Emacs user – I no longer develop code for a living, for instance, so I don't personally take advantage of those important additions. I am not a typical or a model Emacs user. When I say that I use Emacs 20, that does not mean that I think others should not use more recent versions – far from it. – DrewAdams
Thanks for your replying. – XueFuqiao
Hi Drew
There will be an emacs conference in London. The date is not decided but it should happen in March. Would you be interested in giving a presentation?
Take care, IvanKanis
Hi Ivan,
Yes, I know about the conf and am subscribed to the conf mailing list [2]. I think it's great to have such a conf. I'm sure it will be rewarding for the communication & contact, and enrich Emacs and its community with new ideas and projects.
Sorry, but I won't be able to attend, myself — too far and no money. But I will watch recorded sessions and read any posted papers or slides. The more that can be recorded for non-attendees, the better.
Have a great conf — have fun, above all. Thanks to you and others for putting it together.
Regards, DrewAdams
Hi Drew, I've added some features to hexrgb.el and wanted to pass them onto you, so they carry forward. here's a short list of them:
Which I hope are self explanatory.
Also these, color sampling functions:
Which use the defcustom - hexrgb-color-group-format ( defaults as "%s, " )
You can find a post at http://emacsfodder.github.com/blog/hexrgb-some-convenient-functions/ with a link to the source.
All the best, [[JasonMilkins?]]
Hi Jason. Thanks for your interest. I really appreciate your efforts and offer.
Actually, I have had code that does what your `hexrgb-hex-set-(hue|saturation|brightness)
' functions do for quite a while, but I have kept it in other libraries (Icicles, OneOnOneEmacs, DoReMi). I've been thinking for some time about moving that code to hexrgb.el, and I've finally done that now – see `hexrgb-increment-(hue|saturation|value)
Wrt your commands that return a list with a range of ten hex color codes, I think that that kind of thing is better put in a separate library, perhaps something more directly aimed at CSS coders. I try to keep hexrgb.el to just basic color manipulation functions and a few core commands. Please consider posting those commands separately.
Regards – DrewAdams
Hi Drew, thanks for the reply
I'll have a look at the latest hexrgb.el and see what I can do, ideally I'd like to create `hexrgb+.el
' (or similar.) to add a lot of format related functions, which is what I'd intended to do in the first place (a year ago I think.) - At that time nb-digits needed to be hacked in, so I ended up making this copy of hexrgb.el.
I'll post again when I get something useful going.
Regards, JasonMilkins?
Hi Jason. Sounds good. And don't hesitate if you do prefer to contribute something to hexrgb.el
. I'll let you know what I think is best, like I did this time. IOW, I'm still open to suggestions etc. Thx – DrewAdams
Good stuff, I'll have a go at it nearer next weekend and keep you updated, I can see a few convenience/format related use cases, that don't require much in the way of difficult code, just good naming and grouping,
I think you were right first time, hexrgb shouldn't have too much of this interactive insert stuff going on, and where possible these things should be grouped into useful sets of features/functions and made to require 'hexrgb.
The only function candidates I think should be included (which I'll need to port from SASS or LESS or whatever.) are things like mixing, lighten by percent, etc.
Anyway, thanks for the interest,
All the best, Jason
I like `col-highlight`. Really nice. A tweak that the highlight stops at the paragraph boundaries would be nice. A paragraph boundary being an empty line, for e.g. (or a configurable regexp?).

Top 5 Bad Ass Chicks In Video Games
Today I want to celebrate some of the most bad ass video game characters who just also happen to be female. Weirdly there are some ladies out there who still think gaming is just for guys. Well there are many different ass kicking chicks for you to play as and in this list today I am going to run down my top five. I decided against using characters from fighting games so that is why there is no Cammy, Chun Li, Kitana, Sonya Blade or other awesome characters like that.
#5 Bayonetta
Game: Bayonetta (2010)
Format: Xbox 360, Playstation 3
Bayonetta is a kick ass witch who is trying to remember her past as she tries to stop the world from being destroyed. This is a great game that is full of over the top action as you battle both demons and angels, which is just really cool. Bayonetta is a fantastically well written character and she is just impossible not to like. The story is full of twists and turns and just when you think you have her figured out something else happens.
#4 Jill Valentine
Game: Resident Evil 3 (1999) Resident Evil: Revelation (2013)
Format: Playstation, Dreamcast, PC, Game Cube, Playstation 3, Xbox 360, Wii U, 3DS
Jill Valentine is a Resident Evil original. She manages to be both sexy and deadly as well. She is a master lock picker and she also is not shy about using a gun to put down some creepy monsters. She was amazing in Resident Evil 3 when she went head to head with that big SOB Nemesis, but if you want some modern Jill Valentine action then you should check out the awesome Resident Evil: Revelations that sees Jill on the hunt for her lost partner Chris Redfield.
#3 Samus Aran
Game: Metroid Prime 3: Corruption (2007)
Format: Nintendo Wii
Samus is one of if not the original bad ass when it comes to female video game characters. Now granted the game Metroid Other M did pretty much all it could to destroy her reputation. But if you want to play as a hard as nails intergalactic bounty hunter then your best option is Metroid Prime 3. Samus is a chick who takes no prisoners as she explores her surroundings. She is a master with a gun as she is on the hunt for space pirates.
#2 Juliet Starling
Game: Lollipop Chainsaw (2012)
Format: Xbox 360, Playstation 3
It is impossible not to fall in love with Juliet Starling when you play the insane Lollipop Chainsaw. She is sexy, funny, kind and she also just so happens to be from a family of zombie hunters as well. Apart from that she is your typical American high school cheerleader. Juliet with the aid of her chainsaw and the severed head of her boyfriend are required to stop a evil dude from taking over the world. This game is not for the faint hearted and is full of gore and some vulgar humor as well, but despite the fact she is a zombie killer there is just something sweet about Juliet Starling.
#1 Lara Croft
Game: Tomb Raider (2013)
Format: Xbox 360, Playstation 3, PC
Tomb Raider was re-launched in 2013 and it is better than ever. Many people took objection to the original 90's design of Lara Croft and her exaggerated assets, but this new Lara Croft is one of the coolest character either male or female you will get to play as. You start off with her as a somewhat shy and reserved explorer, but by the end you have witnessed her becoming a total butt kicking machine and someone people can really look up to. This new Tomb Raider game has really done a great job of recreating a character who was already a video game icon.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt' exclusive Xbox One features discussed
Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, game director, shared that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt will support Kinect. However, at the current time, it is too early to share specifics about how the Xbox One camera will be used. Find Tomaszkiewicz full comment below:
"We've got Kinect support but it's too early to speak about it. We have some plans [for Kinect] but it's too early to talk about it."
"Yes, we are planning some stuff for it, but again it's too early to really say much about it."
The title will be released in 2014 for PS4, Xbox One, and PC
New Details and Screens for Yakuza Ishin's "Another Life Mode," the Protagonist's Home Away from Home
In Another Life, Ryoma has purchased a second home, which includes lovely amenities such as a kitchen, bathroom and a large field. He can earn extra money to buy new equipment, get extra items, train to strengthen his body and recover his stamina.
Of course the adorable Haruka will be living with Ryoma and she will help with cleaning and maintaining the house. Over time their relationship can grow and develop as parent and child. If trust between them is high enough, Haruka will even clean Ryoma's ears (which is often done in Japan among very close family members) and send him off each day. A heart-warming event called "Calm Event" might occur as well.
It's possible to grow a garden in the second home. Players must plan out the vegetables grown in the garden and what area they will occupy, since field space is limited. The item fertilizer will allow for an immediately harvest and the Scarecrow item will keep birds from damaging your crops. There will be more than 20 different vegetables to grow.
Fishing is another activity for busy Ryoma and he can partake in either sea or river fishing, each area netting him unique types of fish. There is a variety of fishing equipment to collect and use that will be helpful for different kinds of fish.
You're probably wondering what the point of doing all this fishing and gardening is. Well, you can take your spoils and cook with them, making delicious meals for yourself. Using commands such as "cut," "bake" and "pour" at the correct time will result in a completed food item. These food items having major strategic benefits in battle; you can heal Ryoma's stamina, increase his strength and award him with special abilities–especially useful if food is eaten right before boss battles. There will be more than 20 types of cuisines and players can increase the kitchen's facilities to allow for more kinds of food items to be made. Obtaining recipes in the city is also possible, which increases the menu's diversity even more.
Harvested vegetables can also be peddled in town to make money and the more you sell them, the more your clientele will increase. A few rich clients will even give you rare equipment materials instead of the normal payment. Money earned can also be used to purchase your own equipment.
Last but not least, we have pets. Ryoma can tame stray cats and dogs and make them his pets, up to a maximum of three. Playing and feeding your pet increases their affection toward you. Pets can find rare items, such as weapon material; item quality increases the higher their affection is. Check out the screens posted below to get a good sense of the game's Another Life Mode.

The games that launched the PlayStation
At the time though it was a justifiable thing to have said. The only experience Sony had with videogames was via their publishing label Sony Imagesoft, whose arguably biggest hit was Mickey Mania for Mega Drive and SNES.
The fact that the PlayStation only came about due to an aborted partners
hip with Nintendo to create a CD add-on for the SNES also hinted at some sour grapes on Sony's behalf. It was almost as if Sony were planning to go at it alone simply as payback for Nintendo cutting their potential fortunes short.
Cheap and easy to develop for, the PlayStation did of course eventually go on to outsell both the Saturn and N64 while becoming a household name in the process.
Sony's marketing campaigns played a large part in the system's immense popularity – putting demo pods running WipEout in UK nightclubs was a genius move, not to mention one that helped videogames as a whole appeal to a far larger audience.
Those who shelled out £299 on launch day were treated to a stellar line-up that knocked the Saturn's launch games for six. Ridge Racer may have only featured one track, but it looked far greater than Sega's rushed out conversion of Daytona USA. It was, in short, a system seller.
WipEout was an altogether different kind of racer – far edgier, without a single pair of wheels in sight. It may have been soon bettered by WipEout 2097, which featured vastly improved handling, but the original was still a very important game for Sony that showed off what the system could do.
The soundtrack too turned heads, featuring licensed tracks from Chemical Brothers, Leftfield and Orbital. The now sadly defunct Psygnosis provided quite a few of the PlayStation's line-up in fact, with two more titles – Destruction Derby and 3D Lemmings – arriving just a couple of weeks after the console itself.
Having revisited Destruction Derby recently, we were surprised that it hasn't aged quite as badly as feared. It does seem a little odd now though that the vehicles were seemingly glued to the ground, unable to roll around or flip over. This is something the sequel rectified.
3D Lemmings didn't gain quite the same amount of critical acclaim, failing to sell anywhere near as well as the 2D original. We'll even go as far as saying that it was one of the first games to suggest that not every well-known franchise should make the jump from 2D to 3D. Sadly, publishers and developers alike chose to ignore this valuable lesson.
Going back to Namco for a second, in addition to Ridge Racer they also converted Air Combat and Cybersled from arcade to PlayStation. Futuristic tank shooter Cybersled gained a bit of a kicking and was soon superseded by Assault Rigs. Air Combat (née Ace Combat) fared better, gaining dozens of sequels over the years with three alone on PlayStation.

An anonymous reader writes "The company making the VR headset that has John Carmack and many others in the gaming industry excited has just received another $75 million in funding to make it happen. Netscape founder Marc Andreessen is joining the company's board, along with fellow investor Chris Dixon. Dixon had seen a prototype earlier this year, but it wasn't good enough to spark his interest. After recently seeing how the device has progressed since then, he was blown away, comparing it to early demos of the iPhone. 'The dimensions where you need to improve this kind of VR are latency, resolution and head tracking, and they have really nailed those things.' Now that the device is in good shape, Oculus is going to work on turning it into a product they can produce and ship for gamers."
New submitter ghack writes "NuScale power, a small nuclear power company in Corvallis Oregon, has won a Department of Energy grant of up to $226 million dollars to enable deployment of their small modular reactor. The units would be factory built in the United States, and their small size enables a number of potential niche applications. NuScale argues that their design includes a number of unique passive safety features: 'NuScale's 45-megawatt reactor, which can be grouped with others to form a utility-scale plant, would sit in a 5 million-gallon pool of water underground. That means it needs no pumps to inject water to cool it in an emergency - an issue ... highlighted by Japan's crippled Fukushima plant.' This was the second of two DOE small modular reactor grants; the first was awarded to Babcock and Wilcox, a stalwart in the nuclear industry."
cartechboy writes "How many Nissan Leafs does it take to power an office building? The answer, it turns out, is six. Nissan is the latest Japanese automaker to explore electric "vehicle-to-building" setups, this time with impressive results. The company started testing its latest system at the Nissan Advanced Technology Center in Atsugi City, Japan, during the summer. It found that just six Leafs plugged in to the building's power supply allowed it to cut peak-hour electricity use by 2 percent. Annualized, that's a savings of half a million yen (about $4,800 US) in electricity costs. How it works: The building pulls electricity from the plugged-in vehicles during peak-use hours, when power is most expensive, and then sends the power back to recharge the cars when grid prices fall. Nissan says the system is set up to ensure the cars are fully charged by the end of the workday. (Is this a devious secret way to make sure workers stay until a certain time?) Next up: Why not just do this using batteries--never mind the cars?"
astroengine writes "A coolant system glitch on the International Space Station has forced several of the orbital outpost's modules offline as astronauts and ground control manage the problem. The crew are not in danger and ground control teams are currently working to see how best to troubleshoot. The issue, that occurred early on Wednesday, focuses on one of the space station's two external ammonia cooling loops, along which the station's electrical systems use to regulate their temperatures. The loop 'automatically shut down when it reached pre-set temperature limits,' said NASA in a statement. It is thought that a flow control valve in the ammonia pump itself may have malfunctioned."
Dan Rosenbaum is the editor and publisher of Wearable Tech Insider, which means he covers wearable technology every day. He's obviously a good person to chat with if we want to learn what's going on in the wearable tech world. So we did just that. The overall sense we got is that wearable tech is less of a gimmick than it was a few years ago, but isn't necessarily something all of us need quite yet. One note here: Dan is not a Google Glass fan. Watch the video (or read the transcript) to find out why.
gbrumfiel writes "For the past two decades, about 10 percent of all the electricity consumed in the United States has come from Russian nuclear warheads. Under a program called Megatons to Megawatts, Russian highly-enriched uranium was pulled from old bombs and made into fuel for nuclear reactors. NPR News reports that the program concludes today when the last shipment arrives at a U.S. storage facility. In all nearly 500 tons of uranium was recycled, enough for roughly 20,000 warheads."
DeviceGuru writes "AirTame has developed an AirPlay-like protocol and HDMI dongle for 1080p video streaming and screen mirroring from PCs to PCs and TVs, and has substantially exceeded its $160,000 Indiegogo funding goal. AirTame streams from Windows, Mac, and Linux PCs to other PCs via apps at both ends, and to TVs via the HDMI dongle, and also offers a multicast mode for broadcasting to multiple PCs and TVs for use in classrooms or conferences. But at least initially, there won't be support for Android or iOS devices in the mix, due OS restrictions. The company says it plans to release AirTame's software, API, and protocol source code under a dual-license enabling free use with GPL-like restrictions, and paid use for commercial applications requiring proprietary modifications."
An anonymous reader writes "There is a lot of advice about backing up data, but it seems to boil down to distributing it to several places (other local or network drives, off-site drives, in the cloud, etc.). We have hundreds of thousands of family pictures and videos we're trying to save using this advice. But in some sparse searching of our archives, we're seeing bitrot destroying our memories. With the quantity of data (~2 TB at present), it's not really practical for us to examine every one of these periodically so we can manually restore them from a different copy. We'd love it if the filesystem could detect this and try correcting first, and if it couldn't correct the problem, it could trigger the restoration. But that only seems to be an option for RAID type systems, where the drives are colocated. Is there a combination of tools that can automatically detect these failures and restore the data from other remote copies without us having to manually examine each image/video and restore them by hand? (It might also be reasonable to ask for the ability to detect a backup drive with enough errors that it needs replacing altogether.)"
Nerval's Lobster writes "The so-called "Internet of Things" has rapidly become a buzzword du jour, with everyone from tech-giant CEOs to analysts rhapsodizing about the benefits of connecting everyday objects and appliances to the Web. Despite all the hype, some significant obstacles remain to fulfilling that vision of a massively interconnected world. For starters, all the players involved need to agree on shared frameworks for building compatible software—something that seems well on its way with the just-announced AllSeen Alliance, which includes Sharp, Cisco, LG Electronics, Qualcomm, Panasonic, D-Link, and the Linux Foundation (among many others). In theory, the AllSeen Alliance's combined software and engineering resources will result in open-source systems capable of seamless communication with one another. The Alliance will base its initial framework on AllJoyn, an open-source framework first developed by Qualcomm and subsequently elaborated upon by other firms. Applications and services that support AllJoyn can communicate "regardless of manufacturer or operating system and without the need for Internet access," according to the Alliance, whose Website offers the initial codebase. "Open source is the ideal, neutral staging area for collaboration that can provide the interoperability layer needed to make the Internet of Everything a reality," read a Dec. 10 note on the Linux Foundation's official blog. "When everyone jointly develops and uses the same freely available code, companies can develop innovative services on top of it and get them to market faster." However, not all companies interested in exploring the Internet of Things have joined the AllSeen Alliance. For example, Intel isn't a partner, despite having recently created a new division, the Internet of Things Solutions Group, to explore how to best make devices and networks more connected and aware."
hypnosec writes "Researchers have developed and open-sourced a low-cost 3D metal printer capable of printing metal tools and objects that can be build for under £1,000. A team of researchers led by Associate Professor Joshua Pearce at the Michigan Technological University developed the firmware and the plans for the printer and have made it available freely. The open source 3D printer is definitely a huge leap forward as the starting price of commercial counterparts is around £300,000. Pearce claimed that their technology will not only allow smaller companies and start-ups to build inexpensive prototypes, but it will allow other scientists and researchers to build tools and objects required for their research without having to shell out thousands, and could be used to print parts for machines such as windmills." It's a modified RepRap; looks like we're getting closer to the RepRap being able to print all of its parts.
cagraham writes "The WSJ, combing through Amazon's Q3 earnings report, found that the company is currently using 1,400 robots across three of their fulfillment centers. The machines are made by Kiva Systems (a company acquired by Amazon last year), and help to warehouses more efficient by bringing the product shelves to the workers. The workers then select the right item from the shelf, box it, and place it on the conveyor line, while another shelf is brought. The management software that runs the robots can speed or slow down item pacing, reroute valuable orders to more experienced workers, and redistribute workloads to prevent backlogs."
szczys writes "Bil Herd was the designer and hardware lead for the Commodore C128. He reminisces about the herculean effort his team took on in order to bring the hardware to market in just five months. At the time the company had the resources to roll their own silicon (that's right, custom chips!) but this also meant that for three of those five months they didn't actually have the integrated circuits the computer was based on."
Zothecula writes "Industrial robots have proven useful in reducing production costs in large factories, with major enterprises enlisting their services to execute repetitive tasks. The Factory-in-a-Day project, which kicked off in October, aims to also make robotic technology beneficial to small and medium enterprises (SMEs), by developing adaptable robots that can be integrated with workplace systems within 24 hours."
walterbyrd writes "A team of engineers at Microsoft Research have developed a high-tech bra that's intended to monitor women's stress levels and dissuade them from emotional over-eating. The undergarment has sensors that track the user's heart rate, respiration, skin conductance and movement — all of which can indicate the type of stressful emotions that lead to over-eating, according to Microsoft researchers. The data is sent to a smartphone app, which then alerts users about their mood."
First time accepted submitter prajendran writes "James Hansen, the former director of the Goddard Institute of Space Sciences, has been a strong defender of using nuclear energy to replace coal and renewable energy. He and three other researchers had written a letter, arguing just this. In this interview with rediff.com, an Indian news site, he was asked to address some concerns surrounding the issue, especially given the strong feelings generated by it. It may not be Hansen's best interview, but it did bring out his passionate side."

Take the college student survey to share your opinions about your school and be entered into a $1,000 scholarship!
Reload the page and try again.
B A+F Diversity: UNC isn't any more or less diverse than any other school I've seen.
A A+F Academics: The Monfort College of Business is a top-ranking business school. It provides a quality education, smaller class sizes, modern facilities, and student-centered professors. There are many opportunities for internships, and also for employment connections upon graduation.
B A+F Academics: UNC has a several excellent academic programs, but also offers a few that are a bit more mediocre and underdeveloped. The strongest areas are Performing/Visual Arts, Education, Business, and Sports/Excercise Science.
C A+F Transportation: There is a local city bus service that is free to students, but the schedule can be a bit spotty. The University also premiered a new student shuttle service using smaller vehicles this year, which seems to be pretty convenient when travelling between the two sides of campus.
B A+F Computers: There isn't anything extraordinarily special when it comes to technology, but there are no issues with printing, lab space, or network/wireless. As a student, you're provided everything you need to succeed, and I wouldn't expect more than this.
B A+F Nightlife: Although Greeley is a smaller city, the historic Greeley Downtown area definitely provides a pretty fun time. There are several great bars, and there is also a "bar crawl" event on Wednesday nights. In the summer, there are also many fun outdoor events and live music. It's definitely a pretty great place to be!
C A+F Diversity: The majority of the students are conservative Christians, but there are many international students and GBLT members.
C A+F Off-Campus Dining: There are mostly chain restaurants off campus and some great local places, but for the most part, if it's not chain, it's not necessarily worth trying.
C A+F Scholarships: The school has a limited number of scholarships to give out and they do not contact you to inform you when you do not receive a scholarship, you just have to assume that you didn't receive it.
C A+F Health & Safety: Some parts of campus are scary to go at night and during the day. It's often better to go in a group than alone.
C A+F Weather: It's often very windy, especially during the fall/winter months. It also has rained a lot over the fall seasons. And everyone is right about the smell here, especially when the wind blows.
C A+F Local Atmosphere: There are quite a few places to go shopping here, but most of them are located far off campus (driving distance). There are few attractions besides the historical museum within town. There are also almost no professional sports games that I've heard of at all. Also, some parts of Greeley are very sketchy and questionable, especially at night. The only main attraction is shopping or hockey games at the Ice Haus.
B A+F Facilities: Our teaching, nursing, and business programs are amazing here. The business school is the only school to have won an award from the US President and the nursing program is top rated in the nation. It also has a wide array of clubs to join and opportunities for students to get engaged in their community.
C A+F Facilities: UNC has great green spaces, but the majority of the buildings and classrooms are lacking updated technology. Campus events are fairly popular but are often unpublished to underclassmen and the school has very few real traditions. The athletic facilities are great with new equipment put in every few years, but some of the athletic fields lack a scoreboard or a timer. The student center doesn't offer study rooms or any private rooms open to students without a club reservation.
B A+F Campus Strictness: The campus Police Department are strict, but also understanding.
B A+F Diversity: The campus is predominately in the same boat as everybody else.
C A+F Scholarships: I have had great luck looking fro a scholarship that matches my needs.
B A+F Local Atmosphere: Sticking closer to the campus during your earlier years is a good idea.
C A+F Drug Safety: There is not a serious problem with drugs on campus.
B A+F Transportation: There is a bus line located around campus to get you from Central campus to West campus that is very convenient.
B A+F Facilities: The gym located on campus has been brought up to par lately.
B A+F Facilities: If you are into okaying Frisbee golf, the campus is wide open for it.
A A+F Nightlife: The night life seems to get better and better the older you get.
A A+F Computers: The availability of the computers is pretty high everywhere on campus.
C A+F Athletics: The athletics are not a major part of the school, seeing as how they do not win too many championships.
