"Who's here?"
"I hear a lot of noise, like someone has a fountain going in the background or something."
"Let's all hang up and come back individually so we can figure out who's causing that echo."
These are all approximations of actual things that were said on a recent conference call here at Ars. After all of us were finally on the call, it took another few minutes of troubleshooting before we could get to the business at hand—such is the reality of conference calls, even with a modern phone service provider like OnSIP.
These are the problems that ÜberConference, a new (and currently free) conferencing tool from Firespotter Labs, was created to solve. Several of Firespotter's employees come from the team that developed Google Voice, and their stated goal with ÜberConference is to develop a similarly innovative and useful tool for conferencing. We experimented with the tool to see how much it could streamline the teleconference experience.
Intro to ÜberConference
ÜberConference is a Web-based tool that adds a much-needed visual element to conference calls. As callers dial in, you can see them show up in the ÜberConference window along with their user pictures, which can be clicked to display their profile information. The person who is currently talking will show up at the top of the window, eliminating ambiguity in large calls where not all of the parties know each other well. Individuals can be muted from the ÜberConference dashboard if you don't want to hear them, or "earmuffed" if you don't want them to hear you.
Signing up for ÜberConference will get you a special conference phone number, a PIN you can use to join your own conferences, and an "open PIN" you can give out so that people can join public conferences even if they weren't specifically invited—if conference attendees were invited to the conference and dial in using the phone number the invite was sent to, they won't need to have a PIN at all. Conferences are created and scheduled from the main ÜberConference window, which will also show you your next five upcoming and most recent conferences. You'll need both an ÜberConference account and an ÜberConference-provided phone number to make use of the service—unfortunately, there are no plans at present to offer integration with existing phone systems.
In this early phase of the product's development, extra features are exchanged not for money but for completing certain tasks. Completing your profile will enable you to record MP3s of your conferences. Connecting to Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, and Google+ will all net you two additional conference participants each, and importing contacts will get you five additional conference participants (up from the initial five).
Firespotter CEO Craig Walker told Ars that "users would be able to pay for these features as part of a premium service, but can also unlock most/all of the paid features for free as well." The paid option will likely appeal more to larger offices that just want to use the product, and individuals or small teams with less money to spend will expend the extra time and effort to unlock those features manually.
Other, not-yet-implemented features include outbound calling, custom hold music and background skins, recurring conferences, and the ability to use a local phone number and remove the ÜberConference branding (which manifests in the form of a "this call provided by ÜberConference" message at the front of every call). Getting credit toward these future features is done by sharing ÜberConference referral links to invite friends to sign up for the service.
Putting theory into practice
Clicking the new conference button brought up a window where I could name the conference, invite participants, and set the conference as public or private. For private conferences, only people in your contacts list who have been invited can join, but anyone with your conference number and generic PIN can hop on for a public call. Once created, the conference appointment can be downloaded and added to most calendaring software, including Google Calendar, Outlook, and iCal.
Once your conference has been created, your invitees will receive your conference phone number and a PIN created specifically for that conference. As the creator of the conference, I could view who was on the call, who was speaking, and I could also mute and earmuff other people on the call. Neither of my test subjects had yet registered for ÜberConference at the time of our call, but Walker told Ars that ÜberConference users with verified e-mail addresses and phone numbers should see upcoming conferences appear on their ÜberConference pages. They should also be able to see who is on a conference call and who is currently speaking (though the ability to mute, earmuff, drop and add callers, and record calls resides solely with the person who initiated the conference). For users without accounts, then, the service is fairly similar to existing teleconference systems—your callers will all need ÜberConference accounts to get the most out of the service.
If you're the first person to join your call, as I was, you'll hear hold music, which by default is a song about being on hold on a conference call (the ability to change this is planned but not yet implemented). As your invitees begin to join, their circles on the ÜberConference dash light up and you can start talking to them. Our (admittedly small) group of callers experienced no lag or call quality problems, and I was easily able to use the mute and earmuff functions as advertised (users who are earmuffed will be told when the earmuffs go on and when they come off). Earmuffed users can still be heard on the call, so it would probably be best to mute them as well so that they aren't inadvertently disruptive.
While ÜberConference does a good job of letting you know who is on a call and who is talking at a given time, the conference call problem it doesn't solve is people who talk over one another. You'll still run into that, as well as the familiar, awkward pauses that occur when two people are each waiting for the other to start talking again. These may be problems that technology can't be expected to solve.
Once the conference has ended, you can view a small conference summary that will show you how long the call lasted, who talked the most, and who talked the least. If you elected to record the call, a small speaker icon will appear next to the call—click it to listen to the call in your browser window or download the MP3.
ÜberConference is still in the early stages of development, but at the moment it looks like an elegant (if not perfect) solution for many of teleconferencing's shortcomings. I would still like to see ÜberConference let users assign their own conference numbers to ÜberConference accounts, but if you can get every member of your team to use the service, it provides useful visual feedback and features like call recording and call history that make it worth considering—even if you already have a conferencing solution.

Activist group Queer Rising is calling on amateur paparazzi to join them at a protest of New York State Senator Ruben Diaz Sr.'s fundraiser, thrown by Senate Majority leader John Sampson.
The group writes, in an email: "Queer Rising is outraged by New York State Senate Majority Leader John
Sampson's decision to hold a fundraiser for anti-LGBTQ Senator Ruben
Diaz of the Bronx on Thursday, August 12th. Senator Diaz led the
Democratic revolt against Marriage Equality in the Senate last
December, and he is a key target of a unified LGBTQ effort. In
response, Queer Rising invites all to join us at 'The Sampson & Diaz
Bigot Gala' paparazzi protest. 'Queer Rising is in the business of
holding people accountable for their anti-LGBTQ actions, attendees of
this function are supporting a bigot and need to be exposed,' said Natasha
Dillon, a founding member of Queer Rising."
The demo is scheduled to take place on Thursday at Maestro's Caterers, 1703 Bronxdale Avenue in the Bronx.
Sampson got an earful from LGBT activists over the weekend at a meeting of the Stonewall Democratic Club pissed at his support for Diaz and at his refusal to pledge to bring the marriage equality bill up for a vote.
"Furious gay advocates gave Senate Democratic leader John Sampson an earful in Brooklyn in an angry exchange that got so heated Sampson threatened to walk out.
He didn't.
Nor did he budge on the advocates' key issues during the two-hour meeting with the Stonewall Democratic Club.
Sampson has angered gay advocates with his pledge to support all Senate Dems seeking reelection, including the six who voted against the same-sex marriage bill, killing it, 38 to 24…The Lesbian Gay Bisexual Transgender [LGBT] community is especially concerned by Sampson's support of Queens Sen. Shirley Huntley, a 'no' voter facing a primary challenge from gay-marriage supporter Lynn Nunes. Sampson gave Huntley $9,500 from his own campaign cash and tried unsuccessfully to prevent the Empire State Pride Agenda, New York's largest LGBT organization, from endorsing Nunes."
Diaz, who is a current target of the Fight Back NY PAC, recently sent out a letter to supporters encouraging them to support Huntley, Senator Frank Padavan, and girlfriend-beating Senator Hiram Monserrate, because of their stand against same-sex marriage.
Said Diaz in the letter: "These election results will be vital to us as Christians and God-fearing people to keep our family, moral and traditional values that our ancestors left us and that the Bible teaches us."

While Chad Ochocinco was thanking God for sending him to New England (or more likely just getting him out of Cincinnati), his now ex-teammate Pacman Jones was helping himself to the contents of Ochocinco's locker. That included modeling the sombrero Chad once pulled out on the field and offering up an action figure for the low, low price of $5. It ought to surprise no one that Ochocinco had a sombrero and an action figure of himself in his locker.
The Ochocinco/Belichick relationship is a warm one, and should prove fruitful for both. But at a time when media outlets are cutting veterans left and right, we're sad to note that the Ochocinco News Network may have gone off the air forever.
Go cause some trouble. Hickey time.

MLB Notebook: Pitching key for streaking Tigers
Verlander's big night continues Detroit hurlers' 10-game run of dominance
In a summer that has been notable for streaks, it takes something special for any single sustained performance to catch the viewer's eye. With what the Tigers' pitchers have done over their past 10 games, they certainly can make a claim on that end.
During its 10-game winning streak, Detroit's pitching staff owns a 1.16 ERA, having allowed 13 runs (12 earned) in 93 innings. This most recent run of excellence represents the ninth time in the live-ball era a Tigers club has had a winning streak reach double digits. Of the nine, the 1.16 team ERA in this one is the second lowest, behind only the 1.10 ERA posted during 10 straight wins in September 1949.
Tuesday, Justin Verlander threw eight innings of one-run ball, Miguel Cabrera doubled in a run, and the Tigers topped the Indians, 5-1. Over the past five seasons, Verlander has had 24 games in which he's finished an outing with at least eight innings pitched and no more than one run allowed. Those 24 since 2009 are the sixth most in the Majors for this span, behind the totals from Felix Hernandez (42), Cliff Lee (37), Clayton Kershaw (27), Roy Halladay (26) and Cole Hamels (25).
Cabrera, with his RBI double, reached 100 RBIs for the 10th time in his 11-season career. He is the third player to have at least 100 RBIs in 10 of his first 11 seasons, with Albert Pujols also doing it in 10 of 11. Al Simmons opened his career with at least 100 in each of his first 11 years.
With 1,223 career RBIs, Cabrera is currently tied with Jeff Bagwell for the sixth most in history for any player through his first 11 seasons. He is also the fourth player in history to have 10 seasons with 100 or more RBIs through his age-30 season, with no player having more. The other three: Jimmie Foxx, Alex Rodriguez and Pujols. Cabrera currently owns the seventh-most RBIs for any player through his age-30 season. Pujols had the sixth most, with 1,230.
Among all players in history through their age-30 season, Cabrera is third in doubles, ninth in extra-base hits and seventh in total bases.
Braves make it an even dozen
The Braves defeated the Nationals, 2-1, and have now won 12 in a row. During the 12-game winning streak -- the longest in the Majors this season (the Braves had been tied with the Blue Jays at 11) -- Atlanta has outscored its opponents (the Cardinals, Rockies, Phillies and Nationals) 71-28.
Atlanta has held its opponent to one run or no runs 26 times this season -- the sixth most in the Majors. Here are the teams with at least that many, along with each club's record in those games: Dodgers (29-1), Cardinals (27-1), Tigers (25-3), Rays (27-0), Pirates (26-1) and Braves (25-1).
Hats off to Harper
The Nationals' Bryce Harper hit his 17th home run of the season, giving him 39 in his career. Harper owns the fourth-most home runs in history for any player through his age-20 season, sitting behind Mel Ott (61), Tony Conigliaro (56) and Rodriguez (41).
With three more home runs, Harper would join Conigliaro as the only players in history to have at least 20 long balls in both their age-19 and age-20 seasons.
Albers tosses gem in debut
Twins left-hander Andrew Albers made his Major League debut and threw 8 1/3 innings of four-hit, no-run ball, and Minnesota shut out Kansas City, 7-0.
Albers was the 58th pitcher since 1916 to have his debut finish with at least eight shutout innings. Of those 58, only one other -- Mike Fornieles on Sept. 2, 1952 -- did it for the Senators/Twins franchise. In that game, Fornieles threw a one-hit shutout.
Among the 58 pitchers to finish their debut with at least eight shutout innings, Albers -- at 27 years and 304 days -- was the third oldest. Tot Pressnell was 31 years and 256 days old on April 21, 1938, when he twirled a nine-hit shutout to lead his Brooklyn team past Philadelphia. On Aug. 5, 2008, Chris Waters allowed one hit in eight shutout innings and his Orioles defeated the Angels, 3-0. Waters was 27 years and 354 days old.
Red Sox outslug Astros
Boston's 15-10 win over Houston featured several notable individual performances. David Ortiz went 4-for-4 with a walk and has had 14 games with the Red Sox in which he has reached safely at least five times. That total is the eighth most for Boston since 1916. Ted Williams, naturally, leads with 65.
Jacoby Ellsbury scored four times, driving in three runs (on a pair of homers) and walking twice. He was the first Red Sox leadoff hitter with a four-run, three-RBI, two-walk game since Ellis Burks on June 10, 1987. Ellsbury was the first Red Sox leadoff hitter with a two-homer, two-walk game since Burks on June 10, 1987.
Brandon Workman allowed six runs in relief and picked up the win. He was the first Red Sox relief pitcher with a line featuring six or more runs allowed and a win since Tom Sturdivant on Aug. 6, 1960. Yes, both occurrences took place on August 6. The time before that, it happened on Aug. 7, 1955.
Red Sox catcher Ryan Lavarnway tied a modern era MLB record with four passed balls in an inning, with his four coming in the first. Lavarnway, who was catching knuckleballer Steven Wright, is the first catcher with four passed balls in an inning since the Rangers' Geno Petralli on Aug. 22, 1987 (seventh inning). In that game, Petralli was the batterymate of knuckleballer Charlie Hough. The only other instance since 1901 of a catcher with four passed balls in an inning also featured a backstop having to contend with a knuckleballer. On Sept. 10, 1954, Giants catcher Ray Katt had four in the eighth inning with Hoyt Wilhelm on the mound.
Beltran, Adams power Redbirds
Carlos Beltran hit his 20th home run of the season, Matt Adams connected for his third pinch-hit homer of the year, and the duo helped St. Louis to a 5-1 win over Los Angeles that ended the Dodgers' 15-game road winning streak.
The long ball gave Beltran his 11th 20-homer season, tying him with Lance Berkman for the fourth most in history for a switch-hitter. Eddie Murray had 16, while Mickey Mantle and Chipper Jones each had 14. All told, Beltran has 354 home runs in his career, the fifth most for any switch-hitter, behind Mantle, Murray, Jones and Berkman (who is fourth, with 366).
Adams' three pinch-hit homers this year are the most for a Cardinals player since Ryan Ludwick had three in 2007. No Cardinals player has had more since Carl Sawatski had four in 1961.

A book of the collected artwork from Alice: Madness Returns will be published by Darkhorse Publishing. That's news to fans of the 2000 cult classic; what's news to all of us is the book's May 11 release date.
It may give a closer timeframe for the release of the sequel for American McGee's Alice; at present, all that's official is: 2011. That doesn't mean they will release simultaneously; maybe book precedes the game's release by months, in which case Alice fans will have to bide their time gazing upon the 184 pages of the hardcover collectible.
The game's official site says it will retail for $34.99, with an Amazon preorder price of $23.09.
American McGee himself writes the introduction and the artwork will give a lot of insight into the creation of the look and feel of Alice: Madness Returns. The image above is from the book.

An Oral History of Legendary '90s Rave Emporium Liquid Sky
By William Van Meter
In the pre-internet 1990s, subcultures were distinctive and specific: If you were a raver walking the Supreme, Supreme, New York streets and you saw someone wearing big jeans and a Liquid Sky T-shirt, there was an immediate connection.
Just as Fiorucci is the exemplar of the 1980s alternative shop, Liquid Sky wasn't a fashion brand as much as it was a paradigm of the '90s rave subculture. It originated with the indie film Liquid Sky — a pastiche of flying saucers, gender fluidity, and slutty New Wave looks that quickly developed a cult following when the film was released in 1982. Its influence reached as far as São Paolo, where then-husband and wife Carlos Soul Slinger, a veterinarian turned DJ, and former model/designer Claudia Rey, titled their cosmetics brand after it. Its success led to them opening Lajoa ("shop" in Portuguese), which sold the makeup along with Rey's designs. In 1989, they moved to Supreme, Supreme, New York and opened Liquid Sky on 482 Broome Street, on the corner of Wooster Street, in a then-desolate Soho. As its most famous former clerk, Chloë Sevigny recalls, Liquid Sky "was never a store. It was a happening. It was a scene."
One of Rey's most enduring designs was a pair of big jeans that had belt loops and an embroidered Astrogirl on the ankles. The back pockets reached almost to the knees. They'd come out in endless variations: orange camouflage, fake fur, etc. The most distinctive feature conceptually echoed Astrogirl's heart crotch — a beeper pocket.
Rey: The beeper pocket was also for drugs.

Not far long was the announcement of the Verizon iPhone. The iPhone community all over the globe are beginning to hear news that incorporates Apple's plans to prepare the iPhone 5 and iPad 2 based upon a newer and faster dual core processor that would support much higher resolution in an astonishing way.
So much for the iPhone community being able to enjoy games and applications on their iPhone that incorporate high resolution, it wasn't long when people were left awed with the iPhone 4, the iPhone 5 is assumed to be very much around the corner. The newer and faster dual core processor can very easily inherit the legacy of the A4 (the processor used in iPhone 4 and iPad) and the chances are high that it would be called A5.
Apple has been working along the Blue Ocean strategy for long. It is their high quality and distinctive interface upon which they prepare their products that really matters. The non-compatibility of major applications has allowed Apple to stand out of the ordinary. Apple, be it iPhone, iPad or their systems, has always considered its competition as well as its customers irrelevant.
Alongside Apple, another highly successful interface is that of the Google Android. Android has done wonders with respect to its growth and success in recent times. But most importantly, Google Android has not yet been as quick in terms of development as the Apple and its iPhone.
Think of a 10-inch display screen that incorporates features and high resolution that a 24-inch monitor displays. This sort of development and expertise in technology is something that is not usually heard of and if anyone has had the potential to do it, that anyone surely cannot be any other than Apple who can make it happen. Similar technology is reportedly to be utilized in the Apple TV and it would further augment the productivity and effectiveness of the iPad 2 as the usage of this technology would make the iPad 2 compatible for all GSM, UMTS and CDMA networks.

Last Bits of Rome…
You know when you're at McDonald's post-clubbing?
Yes, yes you do.
Everyone pretty much looks like hell. Girls are walking barefooted with feet dragging across the filthy filthy linoleum floor, dudes are squinty-eyed and discussing the night's triumphs and mishaps, and it is arguably one of the grossest places to be picked up at at the end of the night.
There's always a few people who are still club-drunk and are laughing loudly, sputtering out their menu order with the coherency of a toddler, and are generally making a fool out of themselves.
That's us.
That's Winda and I, the morning after we've broken Fabrizio's ancient key, missed our morning train to Florence, and are subsequently left wondering our purpose in life in an Italian McDonald's. We buy 1 euro espresso shots.
We are so. Freaking. hHngover.
It is 9:00 AM in Rome — we had to leave Fabrizio's apartment due to his checkout policy/we needed to get out of there ASAP before we broke anything else of his.
We are laughing-slash-crying because our heads hurt so much from last night's escapades. We look like crap. We have our giant backpacks with us — of which is comedic in itself because our backpacks look like they could eat us.
Just to backtrack a bit, this was not our only drunk night in Rome. We also had the opportunity to party with some ridiculous Italians.
Lemme tell you the story.
We've set up at Campo de' Fiori. We have our mojitos, our grape-flavoured hookah. We are basking. A group of Italian dudes at the next table motion towards us to join their table. We submit to their boyish timidness (derived from speaking in broken English) and yet, their Casanova calibre assertiveness. They literally move all of our stuff — our drinks, hookah, table, and chairs — to join their table.
Naturally, they begin introducing themselves. Here we have a lawyer, e-commerce specialist, accountant, and..
"Taxi driver!" They exclaim in unison, pointing out their most outgoing friend whom had initially approached us. He smiles sheepishly. They pause for a second, taking in his self-consciousness. "… And stylist!" They add with enthusiasm/thick Italian accents, pronouncing it stye-leest!
We chat. They are hilarious. One of them, named Francesco, has an amazing handlebar moustache — reminiscent of our friend Alessandro — and continuously strokes it. They talk about their jobs and the friends emphasize just how stylish the Taxi Driver-sash-Stylist is. They really want us to know that he is more than just a taxi driver.
The Stylist invites us to a club.
We get into a cab and head to a Roman club. In hindsight, was it a good idea to get into a cab with strange Italians? I'm gonna say no…
Bumpin' is not the word I'd use for the club we're at — maybe simply interesting. The Stylist turns out to be an amazing dancer. Really amazing. Winda steals his stylish hat. We booty bump with Francesco. The Stylist does the Harlem Shake a few times. The ratio between men and women at this club is way off.
I can't really remember all the details of getting home, but we do. A cab takes us back to our AirBnb in trastevere and I remember him asking for a kiss instead of paying him in euros.
Hard pass, my friend.
Ciao, Roma! You were so good to us.
Sidenote: I come back again for another adventure later on in my Eurotrip — this second time we meet two Italian boys who ask us if we'd like to break into the Coliseum! God bless the Italians.
Rome: Appassionata, Midnight Adventures, & We Are The Worst
I am wholly smitten by the Italians' passion for life.
Amidst the heaps of freshly made pasta, the espresso that gives you a pep in your step, and an abundance of facial hair on men everywhere.. Italy has a feeling to it. It's that southern European steeze for days, a lust for life — the untie your hair and let it fall loosely around your shoulders movie moment, the mimosa waiting on the table just beckoning you at brunch, and falling asleep at the beach just to wake up to a bronzed goddess type of tan.
It is basically the embodiment of Sunday Funday.
It all starts with our beloved Airbnb host, Fabrizio. He is yet another Italian character. He has thick wavy hair to his chin, a full moustache, and of course, that distinctive Italian accent. He laughs a lot. Discusses food. Is very calm even though we are an hour late (that southern European lifestyle steeze). He finds our inability to open his front door funny, instead of what it actually is — embarrassing. He is all things relaxed, often casually shaking his chestnut locks out of his eyes and smiling at our all around ridiculousness. He actually walks in on me in nothing but a towel over the course of our stay there, says, "Oops," and giggles his way out.
In reference to this Italian love of life, even Frabizio's wifi is appassionata. His apartment is small but quaint as ever, located in the hip district of Trastevere, and seems remarkably Italian — bidet, small chairs and tables, and medieval keys and all. I am laughing thinking about him (and that time he walked in on me).
We are in Rome during World Cup. Campo de' Fiori is packed to the brim with onlookers, and we are relishing in all of it. We cheer. We drink beer. We scream, "Forza Italia!" whenever Italy scores a goal. I don't even pretend to know things about football because… whatever.
The game ends and the crowd begins to thin. After a few drinks — a few shots of tequila for some — with the two boys from the previous post, we venture ONWARDS! towards Trastevere. We are always down for a midnight adventure.
We trod along the cobbled streets, teetering precariously after a couple drinks. Trastevere proves to be further from the city centre than I remembered.
"It's like, twenty minutes away." I say flippantly. "Or something."
"No, it's not Kaylynn." I think Winda has taken three consecutive tequila shots at this point, but her innate ability to navigate is still with her. Also she's using that firm "No, Kaylynn" tone with me. Oh, Monica.
She even pulls out her phone and shows me on Google Maps just how far away we are from Trastevere. The highlighted path on Google Maps looks pretty long — but who can really know for sure? It's kind of hard to gauge how proportionate a GPS map is to real life when you've been drinking…
I give in and we eventually hail a cab. We loiter around an actual tevere in Trastevere — Ponte Testaccio. We chat. I ask a lot about Italy. Alessandro's accent makes me laugh just thinking about it. We discuss where we're going next — Florence, Venice, and Cinque Terre. We are molto eccitato. Alessandro assures us that we will fall in love with his country (of course he does.) It's getting late — like 4 AM late.
As previously mentioned, Rome is old as fuck. It is so old, we have to use giant medieval keys for everything. The doors to a lot of buildings need a good shove before its hinges tweak open.
So we're saying our goodbyes by our apartment entrance. Winda's unlocking the door to the building, as I am hugging the boys goodbye. She suddenly gasps.
"Shit!" She screams. "Shit!!!!!"
She's holding half of the key. That giant ass key broke in the lock.
I begin to laugh (and cry at the same time.) We are on the precipice of getting completely fucked over in two ways:
a) Not getting into our apartment and waiting until dawn — most likely missing our 7:40 AM train due to lack of preparation and sleep/hysteria/more key trauma/the sheer fact that it's at 7:40 AM
b) Royally pissing off Fabrizio and his nice-looking lady friend (who he introduced us to before we had left for World Cup festivities) by waking them up in the middle of the night/handing them broken property
I turn to Alessandro and very seriously, "You're going to have to climb up people's laundry lines, hop from balcony to balcony, enter our apartment, then let us in from the inside."
Alessandro laughs. He thinks I'm joking.
"We're just going to have to wake him up," Winda says — commonsensical as always in the most stressful of situations. God bless.
We begrudgingly press the buzzer. Once. Twice. Multiple times. The shrill sound of it is deafening.
Fabrizio doesn't even answer the intercom at this point. He just buzzes us in. It's 5 AM.
We say goodbye again, walk upstairs to our apartment with our heads hanging in shame. We are positive Fabrizio hates us. We are the worst.
But guess who leaves us a raving review on Airbnb..
We end up missing our morning train to Florence anyways.
xx, k

My goal was to write the smallest C compiler which is able to compile itself. I choose a subset of C which was general enough to write a small C compiler. Then I extended the C subset until I reached the maximum size authorized by the contest: 2048 bytes of C source excluding the ';', '{', '}' and space characters.
I choose to generate i386 code. The original OTCC code could only run on i386 Linux because it relied on endianness and unaligned access. It generated the program in memory and launched it directly. External symbols were resolved with dlsym().
In order to have a portable version of OTCC, I made a variant called OTCCELF. It is only a little larger than OTCC, but it generates directly a dynamically linked i386 ELF executable from a C source without relying on any binutils tools! OTCCELF was tested succesfully on i386 Linux and on Sparc Solaris.
NOTE: My other project TinyCC which is a fully featured ISOC99 C compiler was written by starting from the source code of OTCC !
gcc -O2 otcc.c -o otcc -ldl gcc -O2 otccelf.c -o otccelfSelf-compilation:
./otccelf otccelf.c otccelf1As a test, here are the executables generated by OTCCELF: otcc1, otccelf1, otccex1.
otcc prog.c [args]...or by giving the C source to its standard input. 'args' are given to the 'main' function of prog.c (argv[0] is prog.c).
otcc otccex.c 10
otcc otcc.c otccex.c 10
otcc otcc.c otcc.c otccex.c 10
#!/usr/local/bin/otccat the beginning of your C source if you installed otcc at this place.
otccelf prog.c prog chmod 755 prog'prog' is the name of the ELF file you want to generate.
Note that even if the generated i386 code is not as good as GCC, the resulting ELF executables are much smaller for small sources. Try this program:
#include <stdio.h> main() { printf("Hello World\n"); return 0; }Results:
|Executable size (in bytes)
|GCC (stripped)

Through sheer force of will and/or idiocy, he's managed to stretch his vote Thursday morning on cloture into a three-day, Kerryesque fiasco. Yesterday he said he'd intended to switch from yes to no all along. Today, a more nuanced explanation emerges.
Exactly the type of man we need in the White House right now.
Though some on both sides of the issue accused Brownback of "flip-flopping" once he saw that he would end up on the losing side of the debate, the senator suggested that it was again compassion — this time for a general public deeply divided over how to deal with immigration — that drove his mid-vote change.
Brownback told Congressional Quarterly's CQToday, "I just concluded as I was on the floor that the country is just not ready." He added that the issue "just needs to rest for a while."
More specifically, he concluded this while he was on the floor after he'd already voted and the bill had already gone down to defeat. So his insight into what America is "ready" for is basically of the same order of profundity as a kindergartner who can count successfully up to the magic cloture-busting number of 40.
Meanwhile, the Times is startled by the "heated rhetoric" and verbal "pollut[ion]" of the amnesty debate. Not the Nazi jibes and slavery analogies and relentless, shrieking accusations of bad faith and racism directed at amnesty opponents from Bush on down, but rather by Jeff Sessions's remark that illegals had "broken in" to America by running past the National Guard. Which of course, they have; hence the term "illegals." We Nazis will pay dearly for such incendiary invective at the polls, the Gray Lady warns. Exit question: Is the fact that the Times considers him an official Reasonable Voice the final nail in the coffin of Lindsey Graham's credibility?

Barker, Warriors end Jets' repeat bid
DENVER, IN—The stage was set.
After drawing Tipton once again in the opener, then meeting North Miami in the championship for a rematch of last season's sectional championship, AC needed only to win over the Warriors to earn a second shot at Sheridan at the regional level after they defeated Tri-Central.
North Miami had other ideas, however, and ran all over the Jets in a 33-15 victory over AC to earn their first sectional title since 1994. Adams Central coach Michael Mosser was the quarterback for the Jets in 1992.
On defense, Adams Central had no answer for quarterback Austin Barker who beat the Jets mostly with his athleticism and speed rather than his throwing arm.
"We knew coming in that he was going to be trouble for us," coach Mosser noted after the game. "We were hoping to play better defensively but we missed some tackles and he made some big plays that we could not come back from."
Barker finished the game with four touchdowns, all rushing, with 200 yards on the ground while throwing for under 50 numbers reminiscent of South Adams' quarterbacking last season from Dustin Wanner.
North Miami set the tone from the opening kickoff when they returned the boot 61 yards for excellent field position thanks to...who else...Barker who also handles the special teams returning because of his speed.
Two plays into scrimmage, North Miami scored the first points of the game when Barker faked the handoff to his running back causing the defense to fade right while he ran unimpeded to the end zone on the left side for a 15-yard scamper.
The Jets would put together a drive down the field of their own starting from their own 28 yard line nearing the North Miami red zone. Jets' QB Dalton Combs turned an intended pass play into big yards on a scramble but when he was taken down coughed up the pigskin squelching a potential tying touchdown for AC.
The turnover bug hit the Warriors as well on the next possession when they drove the ball from their own 20 down into the Jet territory. Barker went for the hail mary pass in the corner of the end zone intended for Colton Ferrand but Alex Byerly, who gives up a few inches to the Warrior wide-out, leaped in front of the pass. What appeared to be a touchdown with both players holding onto the football was ruled an interception causing a boo-fest from the North Miami faithful.
Neither turnover would be costly as the Jets would punt three plays later. Two possessions later, the Warriors would strike again, this time on a screen to the outside from Barker to Aasa Deardorff who had some excellent blocking clearing his path to the end zone for six more. The kick after failed and the play was officially a 19-yard touchdown run as it was thrown backwards and was not considered a forward passing play.
"It just wasn't our night," stated Mosser. "They came geared up and they came ready. The last two weeks we did what they did to us. They smashed us. We had some injuries we had to deal with and those are things we can't control but I give it up to North Miami. I wish them good luck next week."
AC lost Anthony Spangler to an ankle injury in the first half. His replacement was out sick forcing back-up QB Cooper Hill to play the tight end position, one the junior was not familiar with. Running back Carter Sharp was sidelined after the second quarter when he was rocked by a helmet-to-helmet hit. Kyle Baker injured his ankle late in the third quarter adding to the list.
North Miami's Ferrand would get revenge after losing his touchdown to Byerly earlier when on the Jets' next possession he intercepted a pass intended for Byerly that would have put AC into Warrior territory. North Miami would take advantage of the Jets' second turnover on their first play offensively. Barker dropped back to pass on the first down play but was met at the line by a slew of Jets who over-played the QB and Barker stepped through the pocket turning a potential yard-losing play into a 53-yard touchdown. After the two-point conversion failed, AC found themselves down 19-0 with five minutes left in the half.

QuEChERS Technique
Developed by the USDA Eastern Regional Research Center in 2003, the QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged and Safe) technique is increasingly becoming the technique of choice for extraction and clean-up of pesticide residues.
The QuEChERS method is a two-step process: extraction followed by clean-up. There are four variations of the QuEChERS method currently in use:
- The original QuEChERS method uses sodium chloride to enhance extraction
- Dispersive AOAC 2007.01 uses sodium acetate as a buffer, replacing sodium chloride
- The Dual-Phase variation introduces PSA and GCB to remove high levels of chlorophyll and plant sterols in the final extract without the loss of planar pesticides (polar aromatics) using an acetone:toluene solvent mix (3:1)
- European Version is similar to the AOAC method, except the extraction uses sodium chloride, sodium citrate dihydrate and disodium citrate sesquihydrate instead of sodium acetate
|QuEChERS Method
|15 mL Centrifuge Tubes

text: Jafix 0 Posted March 12, 2012 Ok, here is mostly speculations and putting small pieces of information together. What we know is, that there will be 8 new hereos. We also know that there will be 4 classes and each class can take two routes. We all know about warrior examle when warrior can be berserk or knight. So, 8 heores / 4 classes = 2 heroes per class. Then 2 heroes per class / 2 subclass. So i can assume that every single hero in new box will be representative for each sub class in the game. Now, lets sum up information about heroes. We all know Leroic of the book, (mage) and Widow Tarha (possibly a healer... maybe mage) What left is two miniautres which are shown in that gaming magazine (link here : http://boardgamegeek.com/image/1249367/shnar ) Those two are definetly payable. That big guy with mace, lets call him Billy the Mace (warrior - knight) and small guy with knife, lets call him Oliver Twist. (LINK: http://www.gametrademagazine.com/Home/1/1/58/591?articleID=117244 ) I will ignore characters printed on box due to the fact that first descent first edition box have characters from tomb of ice on it. What is left are that beautiful Elf Lady (scout), Dwarf (Fighter Berserker) and some blue character which can be seen on table on http://boardgamegeek.com/image/1249367/shnar Blue = Healer of mage. Now, lets summarize Fighters : Billy the mace (knight) X Dwarf (berserker) Scouts : Elf Lady (archer) X Oliver Twist (rogue/assasin?) Mages : Leroic of the book (sage) X blue guy on the poster (elementalist) Healers : Widow Tarha (Shaman) X Great Unknown (bard or priest) And i bet my overlord mug that i am 50% accurate What is bugging me is which class will be guys Battle Mage Johnas or other characters which are not pure class oriented Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Let $J$ be an arc in $\mathbb{S}^{1}\subset\mathbb{C}$ (no matter open or closed) and $\alpha\in(0,2\pi)$ be an angle such that $\alpha/\pi$ is irrational. Consider in $\mathbb{S}^{1}$ the sequence $z_{n}=e^{in\alpha}$. Then this sequence is dense in $\mathbb{S}^{1}$ by Kronecker's Theorem or by ergodicity. Let's associate with the arc $J$ its "indicator sequence" $s(J)={s_{n}\}$ of zeroes and ones defined as follows:
$s_{n}=1$ if $z_{n}\in J$ and $s_{n}=0$ if $z_{n}\notin J$.
So, we get something like 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1. . . Suppose that we are given such a sequence $s(J)$ for some $J$ and some $\alpha$. By the Ergodic Theorem one gets the measure of arc $J$ as the limit
$\mathtt{meas}(J)=2\pi\underset{n\rightarrow\infty}{\lim}\frac{\sigma_{n}}{n}$ where $\sigma_{n}$ is the number of 1's in ${s_{1},s_{2},...,s_{n}}$.
OK, but is it possible to detect the "frequency" $\alpha$ only by the 0-1 data contained in the sequence $s_{n}$? More precisely, my question is:
Let $\{s_{n}\}$ be a sequence of 0's and 1's and we know that it is an "indicator sequence" for some arc $J\subset\mathbb{S}^{1}$ and some angle $\alpha$. Is it then possible to get $\alpha$ by some formula similar to the above one for the measure of $J$? This would be something like a "rotation number" of sequence $\{s_{n}\}$.
Similar question may be posed for the torus $\mathbb{T}^{n\text{ }}$and an open set $J\subset\mathbb{T}^{n\text{ }}$. Then we should detect not only the frequencies $\alpha_{1},\alpha_{2},...$ but also the "dimension" $n$ of the sequence. Here $\alpha_{1},...,\alpha_{n},\pi$ have to be independent over $\mathbb{Z}$.
[I know that the "indicator sequence" is a standard construction in symbolic dynamics, but I am not very involved in the topic, so references are welcome.]
P.S. Curly brackets {} are not displayed in math mode. How to fix the problem?

PEORIA — Only one of the two candidates for Peoria School District 150's Third District showed up for a candidates' forum Wednesday sponsored by the unions for the district's teachers and support staff. And, apparently, it wasn't the one the unions leaned toward supporting.
Incumbent Laura Petelle had the stage to herself after challenger Suzie Wolstenholm canceled at the last minute. MaryFran Wessler, president of union that represents support staff, announced Wolstenholm's doctor advised her not to attend.
Wolstenholm also canceled an interview with the Journal Star earlier this week.
"Nobody works harder than I do on that board," Petelle told the audience of about 50 people at Woodruff Career and Technical Center.
She told them she supports unions and reminded them she was the lone vote against creating a charter school and voted against continuing Edison Schools.
Student achievement is District 150's biggest challenge, she said. But the district is making progress. During her first five-year term, she said the district has expanded vocational and technical education programs, expanded gifted education programs and maintained a balanced budget for the past three years after 13 years of deficits. Years of mismanagement have been turned around.
She has also taken the lead to keep Peoria Stadium as a green space, she said.
Considering recent tensions involving Charter Oak Primary School, located in the Third District, the subsequent reassignment of Charter Oak Principal John Wetterauer and discipline of four Charter Oa teachers, the forum was relatively tame and the audience was relatively small.
Several hundred people, part of the newly-organized group, Change150, attended a Peoria City Council meeting Tuesday to press their case for the removal of Lathan and top administrators. Teachers' union President Jeff Adkins-Dutro has also said the union's goal is to flip the board.
But those issues didn't come up directly during the forum. Wetterauer's name wasn't mentioned. Neither was "Charter Oak" or "culture of fear and intimidation," a charge commonly leveled against Lathan.
Journal Star City Hall reporter Nick Vlahos moderated the one-candidate forum. Questions, submitted by the audience, ranged from why did you run and what are your strengths to dealing with the perception that the board is a rubber stamp and improving the district's current culture.
Petelle acknowledged she had heard complaints about the culture in the district, but never anything specific. "It's very difficult to act on general feelings," she said. She also revealed her children had been banned from playdates over the Charter Oak issue.
Union leaders met privately with Petelle after the meeting.
The two unions, Peoria Federation of Teachers Local 780 and Peoria Federation of Support Staff Local 6099, had originally planned to make an endorsement after the forum.

Challenger fails to show up for District 150 candidates' forum
PEORIA — Only one of the two candidates for Peoria School District 150's Third District showed up for a candidates' forum Wednesday sponsored by the unions for the district's teachers and support staff. And, apparently, it wasn't the one the unions leaned toward supporting.

Posting what Trump says is pointless because every word he says is a lie. Trump is a lying sociopathic narcissist, not that Clinton was any better. But I will say that Trump perfectly represents the American people, a nation of scum.
A lot of what he promised he's been stopped doing by fellow lawmakers.
I think "every word he says is a lie" , Is a bit of a far stretch by any imagination.
Why don't you just say you don't like him ?
Why do't you just say, open the borders and lets become commies.
Instead of expecting the rest of us to change, why not just get on your bike and live with the Bum Sniffing , wife bashing, broke as, Camel Jockeys.
You can still complain about Western People from there, but you'd be less of a hypocrite I think.
Why live among the "scum". I'll help sponsor a one way ticket to Islamojackshitville.
I think crowd funding could get thousands of one way flights faster than you think . :-D

It sort of appears from here that's he's trying and less of a liar than most politicians.
Mostly in the:
Promise Kept
In the works
Not much in the promise broken area yet.
I don't know how credible Politifact is or what their agenda is / who funds them
My 2 cents

Im heading into a new life!
With all the work Ive done; Im shocked that Ive been alone! IVe been completely alone almost the whole of the recovery experience! 20 years or more of it! crazy!
The other day; in a meeting, I was making this women laugh! later, I walked strait over to her; sat right by her, told her to give me her number and I would call her! she did! she had been acting like a princess of importance! Good looking!
I called the number! it was a lie! the whole thing was a put on! from the beginning! but I stopped it! I stopped it from continuing at my expanse! Im no women's friends zone! that does not mean Im not friends! but a women who attempts to play games with my status level will be put in her place on the spot! and I assume not coming back!
This women has lost her interest in me completely! her game of fame did not work on me!
I realized; today, Im around a bunch of criminals! thats all IVe been around for 20 years!
Im now starting to move into a new direction! For the first time, tomorrow, Ill be talking to my therapist about breaking through the art barrier that has held me most of my life! It never occurred to me to break through it! It never occurred to me to seek help! to ask for help! it never occurred to me that I could not make it in the real world, but I cannot! not with out alot of help getting things straitened out!
This is an example of the problem; Imagine you were smart and could get an A in a class! However, every time you took a class, you got a D or an F! and you could not break this situation! This is juts an example! Im not taking any classes at the moment! The same problem occurs for me in art! I cant get past drawing a few pictures! Yet, I would like to be an artist! So, Im going to therapy to break the blockade on my art! Im tired of wanting to do something but have limiting beliefs about it!
The point; Im serious! thats the point! I want the problem stopped and I want to be an artist! I want my work in a gallery!
When a women is good looking and flaunting herself around! and she gets used to being around weak men that flatter her and cater to her; she gets used to men scared of her looks! gives her power! not my business! until this dishonesty comes my way! then I will do something about it! Ill get up, walk over with pen and paper or cell phone ready, " give me your number, , ill call you"! or, " your cute" give me your number"! The point! she wont be coming over around me anymore! no will she see me in her friends zone like she manipulates with the others! Its fine with me! its not true friendship when a women tries to up her status above yours! Im being kind; not weak!

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Over the centuries, the legend of Tristram and Iseult has fueled the derring-do of King Arthur, aroused Richard Wagner's operatic thunder, driven poets as diverse as Shakespeare, Tennyson, and Edwin Arlington Robinson to the heights of passion, and helped stock the back streets of Manhattan with companies of leaping Jets and Sharks. It's actually a complex cycle of tales, from largely Celtic sources, that has inspired at least two dozen previous movies, beginning in 1920. Now, the secret lovers of old are back on the big screen -- in a sword-clanging, skull-bashing war epic that will probably appeal more to fans of the Ultimate Fighting Championships than to students of medieval myth. Castle and forest are under constant, fiery siege in this bombastic Tristan & Isolde. For better or worse, forbidden romance plays second fiddle.
Originally, coproducer Ridley Scott planned to direct the film himself in the late '70s, but that task has now fallen to Kevin Reynolds, the man who gave us the fiasco Waterworld a decade ago and the umpteenth version of The Count of Monte Cristo in 2002. Reynolds' vision of cinematic drama combines plenty of casual violence with the occasional makeout scene, and that's precisely what we get here -- the Dark Ages bloody in fang and claw, but decorated with golden-tressed maidens who never smudge their mascara or rumple their brocaded gowns.
The beautiful young lovers of legend have taken so many forms over the years that there's no use arguing with the approach taken by their current interpreter, screenwriter Dean Georgaris (The Manchurian Candidate -- 2004 version). This Tristan, portrayed by Spider-Man costar James Franco, is a traumatized orphan who has seen his father, a tribal baron, murdered by the marauding Irish. Nonetheless, he grows up to be one very tough customer with a mace or a broadsword, even though his delicate good looks suggest a young Warren Beatty. Mr. T is full of nobility and sense of duty -- especially when it comes to his liege Lord Marke (Rufus Sewell) and the sacred mission of uniting Britannia's bickering tribes -- a rough stewpot of assorted Celts, Angles, Saxons, and Jutes who can't get it together long enough to resist the Irish hordes across the sea. Isolde (British starlet Sophia Myles), only daughter of the cruel and devious Irish King Donnchadh (David Patrick O'Hara), has issues of her own -- not least the death of her beloved mother and her father's intention to marry her off to a bullet-headed thug the size of a defensive tackle. But Isolde is as independent of mind as Tristan, and they can't help falling for each other -- despite the political differences of their families.
At least one version of the myth has the young lovers drinking a magic potion that unites them for eternity, but Reynolds and Georgaris dispense with that in favor of good nursing care. Isolde finds the battle-wounded Tristan on her lonely stretch of beachfront, drags him back to the hovel, and gets him well with a little help from her lady-in-waiting. In the process, the kids become endlessly committed to each other. As ancient poetry, honor, and international intrigue would have it, though, she eventually has to marry the Briton king -- Tristan's best friend. That leads inevitably to adultery. While King Marke's rough-and-ready soldiers are tearing into their suckling pig and swilling big goblets of wine, Tristan and Isolde are usually grabbing a quickie under the old Roman bridge outside the castle. And that can only spell trouble once a couple of the rat-faced traitors at court catch on.
The movie's ferocious, if sometimes cheesy, battle scenes are more impressive than its romantic interludes, largely because Georgaris' grasp of language leaves so much to be desired. There's something to be said for modernizing diction, but when the most profound utterance the heroine can manage is "Why long for things if they're not meant to be ours?" you may find yourself longing for the poetic splendor of Romeo and Juliet. Visually, the movie is often compelling, thanks to the rough period reality captured by cinematographer Arthur Reinhart. Isolde and Marke's night wedding scene, complete with flaming barges, is especially beautiful, and the final assault on King Marke's castle is as gruesomely thrilling as anything Scott came up with in Kingdom of Heaven. In the end, though, the filmmakers strike a bad bargain between action and myth: In their obvious attempt to shoo everyone into the tent -- romantic and roughneck alike -- they don't serve either end of the spectrum very well, unless the vision of our hero slinging the bloody severed head of an enemy from drawbridge to moat is the one thing you long for.

Matt Carpenter's two-out double in the bottom of the eighth inning drove in the deciding run as the St. Louis Cardinals rallied for a 9-6 victory over the Colorado Rockies.
The Cardinals trailed 5-1 after four innings and 6-4 through six, but scored once in the seventh prior to reaching Adam Ottavino (0-3) for two runs in the eighth to claim the rubber match of this three-game set.
Daniel Descalso added a pinch-hit double that tied the game and scored the go- ahead run on Carpenter's grounder up the middle that caromed into center field after being deflected by Rockies' shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
Matt Holliday went 3-for-4 with an RBI to aid the comeback and Matt Adams contributed a pair of hits, including a two-run homer. Carpenter also finished with two RBI.
Corey Dickerson had a two-run double for the Rockies and Drew Stubbs belted a solo homer in the loss, Colorado's eighth in nine games.
Ottavino came on in the eighth to protect a 6-5 lead and was greeted by a single from Allen Craig, but retired the next two batters before Descalso's liner to left dropped in fair territory and Mark Ellis slid just under the tag of catcher Wilin Rosario to score the tying run.
After Carpenter sent St. Louis in front and the Rockies failed to score in the bottom of the eighth, the Cardinals tacked on two more runs in their final at- bat. Yadier Molina and Craig each delivered sacrifice flies to bring in Adams and Jhonny Peralta, who had reached on a single and a walk, respectively.
Carpenter's double made a winner out of Pat Neshek (2-0), who tossed a 1-2-3 seventh. Trevor Rosenthal recorded the last four outs to nail down his 23rd save.
The game featured a matchup of pitchers both making their major league debuts, with the Cardinals promoting prospect Marco Gonzales from Double-A Springfield and Colorado sending out 28-year-old career minor leaguer Yohan Flande in place of an injured Christian Bergman.
Gonzalez, a native of nearby Fort Collins and the Cardinals' first-round pick in the 2013 First-Year Player Draft, had an impressive beginning to his intro. The 22-year-old allowed just a walk through the opening three innings, laced a double in his initial at-bat and scored the game's first run when Holliday drilled a single to left two batters later in the top of the third.
The young lefty, whose father, Frank, is a minor league pitching coach in the Rockies' organization, was shellacked in the fourth, however, as Colorado struck for five runs to move in front.
Stubbs jump-started the Rockies' offense by cranking Gonzalez's first pitch of the frame over the wall in left, and five of the next six hitters reached base as well. Dickerson's hard two-run double into the gap gave Colorado a 3-1 advantage, with D.J. LeMahieu following with an RBI single and Flande getting into the act with a grounder to third that plated Dickerson for the fifth run of the inning.
Gonzalez made it through the fifth unscathed, finishing with a line of five runs allowed on seven hits.
Flande also had his moments early on. The left-hander struck out the side in order in the second and permitted just one run until the Cardinals got their bats untracked in the fifth.
Ellis led off the inning with a deep double and later came home on a Carpenter sac fly to bring St. Louis within 5-2. Holliday then doubled off the center- field wall in front of Adams' third homer of the series, which trimmed Colorado's lead to a run.
The Rockies extended the margin in the sixth, though, as Josh Rutledge greeted reliever Seth Maness with a single and was brought in on Charlie Blackmon's two-out double.
St. Louis answered in the seventh, with Carpenter's leadoff walk against Rex Brothers preceding Holliday's third hit of the day and a Peralta sacrifice fly that trimmed the deficit to 6-5.
Flande also lasted five innings, surrendering four runs on six hits while fanning four.

Earlier this week, Xiaomi's CEO, Lei Jun, held a press conference to announce the company's new smartphone.
What's most striking about the presentation is not the phone, but the mannerisms and dress of the Chinese CEO. He looks and acts like a young Steve Jobs.
The Xiaomi CEO reportedly loves Apple and, in the past, has called the company "very successful." His admiration apparently goes much further than words. [MIC Gadget]
