Last week, the company that proposed the construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline, TransCanada, filed legal challenges to the United States' rejection of the project. One of the lawsuits will seek more than $15 billion in damages.
In November, President Obama vetoed the pipeline despite approval from both the House and the Senate. The administration claimed the project would undermine the efforts made by the U.S. to reach a global climate agreement, a core tenant of Obama's so called environmental legacy.
TransCanada said in a statement that the company has "been unjustly deprived of the value of its multi-billion dollar investment by the U.S. Administration's actions. As the administration candidly admitted, its decision was not based on the merits of the project. Rather, the denial was a symbolic gesture based on speculation about the [false] perceptions of the international community regarding the administration's leadership on climate change."
Suffice it to say, North Dakota state representatives aligned themselves with TransCanada's reasons for filing the suits, placing the blame solely on the Obama Administration. In a statement, Sen. John Hoeven said, "Unfortunately, the president's arbitrary decision to turn down the Keystone XL pipeline means we do not have this important energy infrastructure project under construction, or the jobs and other benefits that go with it…"
He added, "The president denied the Keystone XL pipeline permit, even though Congress approved it on a bipartisan basis, all six states along the route approved it and the American people overwhelmingly support it."
Congressman Kevin Cramer shared similar sentiments. In a statement, he said, "The President's short-sighted decision to reject construction of the Keystone XL Pipeline cost us a vital energy infrastructure project which would have created thousands of jobs and billions of dollar in economic benefits throughout the country."
He continued, "Unfortunately, given Canada's recent track record in suing the United States, I am afraid the American taxpayer will be left holding the bag for billions in penalties because of President Obama's extreme environmental agenda."

C's neither the oldest programming language still in use, nor necessarily even the one used most often. But it does occupy a dominant spot as the language of choice for systems programming. "Systems" is admittedly not a bright-line distinction, but if you're writing an operating system, embedded firmware, a networking device, or a database--- most likely C is going to be used.
There are some exceptions. Forth still has its adherents in the embedded space, and there may still be people churning out assembly for microcontrollers (although stripped-down C goes a long way now.) A lot of modern NoSQL systems are written in Java or Erlang. Microsoft used C++ for a lot of Windows (and then C# once they'd built that), and Objective-C has had a resurgence thanks to Apple, although the kernels of both are still C. So what makes C so ubiquitous? Why does the industry still depend on a 40-year old set of programming conventions? Some theories:
C got it fundamentally right and no improvement is possible. A choir of angels sang, divine inspiration struck, and K&R wrote down the received gospel. They don't call programming language wars "religious" for nothing. Implicit here is the idea that we really haven't learned anything in 40 years that would make us reconsider the basic assumptions of C.
C operates at the "thin layer over assembly" necessary for systems programming. If you're writing low-level crud like device drivers or interrupt handlers, you don't want a lot of runtime infrastructure getting in the way. You also want to be able to understand and control how the higher-level constructs gets expressed as machine language. There is not a fundamental advancement of any sort to be had, so any benefit from a new language would be marginal. C is a power tool, and how much power tool evolution have you seen recently?
C permits attention to data placement and movement in a way that successor languages do not. Modern CPUs try very hard to present the illusion that all accesses are equally fast, all code paths execute equally well, and data placement doesn't really matter. This is bullshit, because in order to get the most efficiency out of a CPU you need to be cache-aware, and even think a bit about ILP.
C is like QWERTY. Everybody acknowledges that it might be possible to do better, but the cost of changing is too large. It's good enough to work with and every generation's fingers get trained in the same way.
C is like English. Everywhere you go, you're likely to find somebody who speaks it. It readily adopts words from other languages. There's no need to learn Esperanto (Java/C#/Python) to communicate, because there's already a language out there that works. You'll probably have to talk to C at some point anyway. Plus, who wants to translate the large body of existing literature?
Using C is like buying EMC (or, in a previous decade, IBM). Nobody ever got fired for sticking with the standard. You know that the C infrastructure will still be there in a decade, and you can continue to hire people who know it.
Language evolution has switched to application programming. Systems programming gets less important. People can build large-scale, reliable systems in other programming languages, so there's no need to innovate in the "systems programming" area. Besides, nobody is really writing a new operating system any more. Guido, Larry, and Rasumus had a lot more influence by helping people write web applications instead.
C is symbiotic with Unix, and now we run Unix everywhere.
Modern processors are optimized to run C. When benchmarking CPU designs, the programs that get used are mainly C programs. Thus any competing language starts out at a disadvantage if its instruction mix turns out dissimilar.
Programming language researchers aren't interested in real-world problems. Jonathan Shapiro says: "By the time I left the PL community in 1990, respect for engineering and pragmatics was fast fading, and today it is all but gone. The concrete syntax of Standard ML and Haskell are every bit as bad as C++. It is a curious measure of the programming language community that nobody cares. In our pursuit of type theory and semantics, we seem to have forgotten pragmatics and usability." There might be something to this: how many academic languages have taken off, vs. "scripting" languages invented to get a particular job done?
C has evolved and will continue to do so. Modern C is to K&R as Wodehouse is to Shakespeare. Yes, English-speakers can read both, but pretending that the language is the same misses the point. Because C does adapt, no competitor can move in to fill its niche.
Nobody will be abandoning C any time soon, whatever the reason. But, I think that there is now much more acceptance that a programmer will learn, and work with, multiple languages than ever before. When I spoke at Gustavus recently, one student asked about the languages Tintri was using: I quickly rattled off C++, Java, Python, C, Bash, and even a few bits of Tcl. A web developer will constantly be switching between JavaScript or Flex and some selection of back-end languages (Java, Ruby, Python, PHP, Perl...)
There is also a broader community that has experience implementing and participating in the design of practical programming languages and language features. But I think attempts to improve system programming can't harness these trends without first understanding the forces that led to C's 40-year run.
Part 1: 40 years of C
Part 2: Understanding the requirements (is always the hardest part)
Part 3: How do Go and other efforts stack up?

40 Years of Romance
I have been fortunate to share most of my adult life with my husband of 40 years this June. (Yes, I was indeed a child bride). I knew almost from the first time I saw him that I would marry him. Just had to wait (and I didn't have to wait long-he proposed to me on our second date) until the idea came to him. I wasn't going to stand in line, and there was a long one. He was the handsomest man I'd ever dated. I believe our first kiss set up a chemical reaction that made all my other memories fade. I didn't have the crowd chasing me like he did.

Roger 'n' Me
Roger and Stan enjoy the bachelor life.
Season: 1 Episode: 20
Total Episode Count: 20
Prod. no.: 2AJN01
First Aired: April 23, 2006
Guest Starring: Wendie Jo Sperber, Peter Scolari, Jennie Garth
Featuring: Stan Smith, Roger
Also Appearing: Klaus, Francine, Steve, Hayley, Greg Corbin, Terry Bates, Trudy Lawrence, Miles, Doyle, Frank & Dennis, Bobo Peterson, Reverend Hideki Obayashi, Dr. Gupta, Captain Monty, Barb Hanson, Peter Scolari, Wendie Jo Sperber
Director: Anthony Lioi
Writers: Rick Wiener, Kenny Schwartz
Storyboarders: Joe Daniello, Jamie Oliff
Newspaper Headline: "Confused Iranian President Denies Hollow Crust Pizza"
Stan goes to Atlantic City for the bachelor party of an old college friend and Roger stows away in Stan's suitcase. It turns out Stan's friend actually did not want Stan to come, leaving Stan and Roger to spend time together. After sneaking into the hotel's hot tub, a drunk Stan agrees to a sex-like probing ritual performed by best friends on Roger's planet to share memories.
Embarrassed, Stan refuses to bring up the event and hides it from Francine, much to Roger's dismay. Stan accidentally runs Francine over while arguing with Roger in the car and she can only be saved by a $178,000 operation. With Roger knowing all of Stan's secrets, the two compete on Best Buddiez!, a game show to win $200,000, but they lose because Stan knows nothing about Roger. Instead, Roger simply probes the doctor in order to learn how to do the operation himself.
Meanwhile, while shopping for Steve's new speedos, he meets Trudy, a girl he fancies; Hayley meets her match in a guy named Miles who has a cousin who goes to the same college she does. But unfortunately, their interests are both dating. Deciding to give them a "push towards happiness", the siblings resolve to break them up. They place an earring in Miles' pocket to make Trudy suspicious, then call Trudy to record her words and reorganize them so they could call Miles to think that she's having an affair with a Brazilian guy named Jim. For the final stage, the two set up the couple in the park, thinking they are secretly meeting their lovers. Hayley and Steve figure that once the two break up, they will sweep in and comfort them. But the latter have a fight and Miles accidentally burns his face on a barbecue pit, horrifying Trudy enough to fall into a creek where she is attacked by an alligator. Hayley and Steve then agree to never speak of what they did.
Two weeks later, Roger has successfully done the operation but Francine acts like a vegetable. Hayley and Steve do their best to get her up to speed.

Canada will treat you to unrivalled outdoor experiences, cosmopolitan cities, rugged national parks and four distinct seasons. As the world's second largest country, after Russia, Canada's total area spans 9.9 million sq km. With both English and French as its official languages, Canada's population is 32.9 million, only a fifth's of Russia's. Nearly 90% of Canadians live within 200 km of the border with the United States, resulting in vast expanses of wilderness to the north.
In the Economist Quality of life Index, Canada was rated in the top 14. This is not surprising when you consider Canada's beautiful natural resources, low unemployment, and stable economy. Some people say it's the best of the USA combined with the best of Europe – dynamic, fresh, friendly and far less crowded.
Regularly voted the best country in the world to live in, Canada has everything on offer. Toronto, the largest city and home to over 5 million people, is the most important, financial centre in Canada and the fourth largest, important economic centre in all of North America, behind only New York, Chicago and LA. Therefore experience gained in Toronto is very valuable and recognised around the world.
Vancouver a dynamic, multicultural city is set in a spectacular natural environment. As the proud hosts of the 2010 Olympic Winter Games, Vancouver looks ahead to ongoing growth. If you are looking to experience the fresh air and great outdoors, then consider Calgary the sixth largest city in Canada. This vibrant, cosmopolitan city offers the best of all worlds. With a population nearing one million you can find outstanding outdoor adventure and pristine wilderness in the Canadian Rockies only an hour away.
The North American Free Trade Agreement, involving Canada, the US and Mexico, has brought a trade boom for Canada. The relationship to its powerful neighbour is a defining factor, with the US and Canada having the world's largest trading relationship. Immigration has helped to make Canada one of the world's richest nations. Many recent newcomers hail from Asia.

The Neville brothers are up to their hijinks again - this time with Phil Neville embarrassing his older brother Gary with a less than flattering social media post after a big night out on the town in Manchester.
As reported by The Sun, the Neville brothers were joined by the likes of David Beckham, Nicky Butt and Ryan Giggs for the 'Class of '92' night on the tiles, with Phil taking the opportunity to stitch his sibling up by posting a picture on his Instagram of the ex-England international having a snooze in the back of the taxi at the end of the night.
If the embarrassing picture wasn't enough, Phil also taunted his brother with the caption, bullishly stating:
"Don't go out with the big boys @gneville2 if u can't handle it - just off for a run me."
The venue of choice was Gary Neville's Polynesian restaurant Mahiki - a thriving celebrity hotspot in the mould of it's London namesake.
The Neville brothers both own 10% of their local side Salford City, alongside Paul Scholes, Butt and Giggs. The further 50% of the club is held by Singapore businessman Peter Lim, who also joined the ex-footballers on their evening out.
After a disastrous spell in Valencia during the 2015/16 season, with Gary managing the club and Phil taking the role of assistant manager, the pair left Spain to return to Britain and focus their attentions on football punditry and their various business concerns.

Published in Fast Company, Designboom, MOCO LOCO, Inhabitat, and dozens of others.
...a timeless vintage style like the one which characterizes the key pieces of the history of design, but at the same time fully represents our time: in addition to being ergonomic it is inexpensive , eco-friendly, customizable and independently-produced with community funds. . . . It's easy to think that if the Eames were alive today, they might have designed it themselves. - OVS
Love it. - Herman Miller
An easy chair with the charm of a design icon. - Cielbleu
Chic and cardboard are rarely seen in the same sentence... - Apartment Therapy
The chair works. - Core 77
I love the concept that the shell can be created from up-cycled cardboard. - Minimalismo
The whole design emerges from a spirit of smart design minimalism... How ingenious is that? - Visual News
I've seen several interpretations of cardboard furniture, but this latest find is one of my favorites. . . . I'm impressed! - The Designerpad
Project of the day. - Faveoly
When all is said and done, the Re-Ply will be the last reply to the question of affordable, upcycled seating. - Gessato
His RE-PLY recliner chair is genius. - Selectism
...best described as Eames meets Captain Planet. - Cool Material
I love working in this chair. I want one in my office. - Coeylen B.
Stunningly simple. - Todd F.
I discovered a way to make cardboard strong. Help me get original, customizable, low eco-footprint furniture into production.
Note: All chairs in photos & video are of prototypes and the metal frames have no finish. The production models may vary.
The recliner - redesigned from the box up. Boxes are collected, stacked, cut, laminated, molded and folded into a strong, comfortable shell. A triangular steel base allows the chair to gently rock.
Like Re-Ply on Facebook. + The Re-Ply website + Twitter
If this project breaks $20,000:
- Free T-shirt with shipment of 3 or more chairs (see FAQ at bottom on how to order more than one).
- Free T-shirt with shipment of 2 or more covered chairs.
- A new metal frame color option will be available.
1) MINIMALISM: Nothing added, just the essentials.
Every element of the chair emerges from multiple functions. For example, only one pair of bolts attaches the seat to the metal base. These same bolts hold the crease and allow the chair to recline – all in one move. Since the base is triangular, it requires only one point of contact with the seat. The base is canted to align with the forward facing angle of the attachment points.
2) STRENGTH: Is that really just cardboard?
Yep. Four layers of heavy duty corrugated fiberboard to be exact. Most boxes are broken down and recycled. The Re-Ply upcycles cardboard by rescuing it from the recycling loop and making it into something more permanent and durable. And it uses a patent pending manufacturing process, so you probably haven't seen anything like this before.
The chairs in the images have been through years of use: parties, moving, and people of all sizes. They will outlast many of the items you might find at your favorite Scandinavian furniture chain.
3) USES: It moves with you.
Yes, it rocks. Magazines in the waiting room? Laptop typing madness? Chatting with friends? Yes, yes, and yes. The Re-Ply does it all, with comfort and style.
4) ECO: Furniture to feel good about.
You are supporting one of the most sustainable manufacturing techniques out there. I'm keeping everything as green (and local) as possible. And in 30 years, when you're done with it, the entire chair can be recycled. We don't have to sacrifice beautiful design to live sustainably.
5) CONTRIBUTE: Choose your Rewards
No matter how you help, you are supporting independent furniture design and manufacture. You will have your choice of a powdercoated blue metal frame, or a reflective zinc-plated one. They will be nicer than the prototypes pictured. If you order the base model, you will have your choice of origin cardboard graphics or plain. If you order a custom option, you can have a your graphics printed on the chair.
Carbon neutral shipping within the continental USA included. Material, color and size preferences for the rewards will be solicited after the project closes.
Pledge $5 or more: Updates + PDF Poster + Digital Model: You are a contributor! You will receive updates as the project moves through production. You (and all other other pledges) also get a digital model and a PDF of the origami diagram.
Pledge $30: T-Shirt: You get one really nice T-shirt. Not your typical promotional shirt. Printed by hand at a small printshop in San Francisco. Shirts will be fashion cut, ringspun organic cotton. Light grey print on dark heather shirt. Unisex and women's sizes.
Pledge $150 and $165: Early Bird Specials! A hand-numbered chair! Choose from having the origin cardboard graphics exposed or plain. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective. Limited number available.
Pledge $175: Discount! A hand-numbered Re-Ply. Choose from having the origin cardboard graphics exposed or plain. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective. Limited number at this price!
Pledge $180: The Re-Ply A hand-numbered Re-Ply. Choose from having the origin cardboard graphics exposed or plain. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective.
Pledge $195: Holiday Package! One Re-Ply chair plus the T-shirt. T-shirt will be delivered in time for the holidays. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective. Limited quantity.
Pledge $235: Faux Fur! The Re-Ply in thick black faux fur. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective.
Pledge $275: Felt! The Re-Ply with a quarter inch thick removable felt cover. It's the most luxurious Re-Ply made. Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective.
Pledge $275: Custom Print Imagine the possibilities! The Re-Ply with your graphic inkjet printed on the seating surface. Your company's logo? Creative patterns to match your home? Pick your metal base color - blue or reflective.
Pledge $375: Total Custom! The Re-Ply with a custom cover/color. I will work with you to find the perfect cover material and color. As an alternative you may also choose to have a custom graphic(artwork, or your company's logo perhaps?) printed on the seating surfaces. You also get to choose your own metal base finish (within stock colors). This will be truly a personal chair.
How does Kickstarter work?
Kickstarter is a platform for funding creative projects. In exchange for your support, I am offering a variety of rewards. Funding is all-or-nothing, so I must raise the full amount to move forward with this project. If the project doesn't reach the goal, nobody is charged and my chairs don't go out into the world. This is an exciting way to bring lots of people in on this creative endeavor.
Where does the $$ go?
As with any new product, startup costs are a hurdle. That is where Kickstarter comes in. Your pledge money will be used for:
- Tools and molds.
- Bulk purchase of materials.
- Overhead for a workshop.
- Samples from manufacturers.
- Fees to Kickstarter & Amazon payments.
- Shipping and packaging.
- Additional prototype refinements.
Production Schedule:
- Late November: Campaign ends, rent workspace, buy tools.
- November: Make molds, prototype refinements, procure samples.
- December: Solicit sizes and colors from contributors, begin production.
- January: Production and delivery of components.
- February: Finish production and begin shipping.
- March: Complete shipping of Kickstarter rewards.
6) A STORY: Playing with paper.
I played with paper as a kid. A lot. Paper airplanes, origami boats, etc. Then I got a masters degree in architecture and started thinking about how those folded forms could be put to use.
The Re-Ply comes from the simplest of forms - a folded piece of paper. Paper is relatively strong in tension, and folding it in half yields a seat and back. To hold the crease the ends of the fold are bent and overlap. This pulls the profile of the back and seat into an arc. The resulting shape is surprisingly comfortable.
Please share...
...with anyone who might be interested – this makes a real difference for a Kickstarter project. Most Kickstarter projects are funded by friends and friends of friends.

Risks and challenges
The metal frames will be made by a metal shop in Portland, OR. I have visited their shop and they are ready to go. The cardboard shell will be handmade by, or supervised by me, and requires minimal technology. Procuring cardboard has the potential to be labor intensive. I've made contact with many furniture stores who regularly have excess of large, clean, heavy duty boxes I will have access to. Felt and faux fur are easily cut by hand, and the rest of the pieces are off-the-shelf nuts and bolts (literally).Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Alex Karasulu a écrit : > I did intend what I wrote. Then you should not have ;) > An RDN does not necessarily mean one name > component. Nope, a RDN is described in the RFC as a cobinaison of atavs, separated by '+', as stated by RFC 2253 : "In X.501 [2] the ASN.1 structure of distinguished name is defined as: DistinguishedName ::= RDNSequence RDNSequence ::= SEQUENCE OF RelativeDistinguishedName RelativeDistinguishedName ::= SET SIZE (1..MAX) OF AttributeTypeAndValue AttributeTypeAndValue ::= SEQUENCE { type AttributeType, value AttributeValue } The following sections define the algorithm for converting from an ASN.1 structured representation to a UTF-8 string representation. 2.1. Converting the RDNSequence If the RDNSequence is an empty sequence, the result is the empty or zero length string. Otherwise, the output consists of the string encodings of each RelativeDistinguishedName in the RDNSequence (according to 2.2), starting with the last element of the sequence and moving backwards toward the first. The encodings of adjoining RelativeDistinguishedNames are separated by a comma character (',' ASCII 44). 2.2. Converting RelativeDistinguishedName When converting from an ASN.1 RelativeDistinguishedName to a string, the output consists of the string encodings of each AttributeTypeAndValue (according to 2.3), in any order. Where there is a multi-valued RDN, the outputs from adjoining AttributeTypeAndValues are separated by a plus ('+' ASCII 43) character. " I have spent so much time to write those damn DN decoding to at least be 100% sure of that ;) Emmanuel

I help out at my sons school as a substitute teacher I like the little ones so I only teach in the pre-school and Kindergarten classes. Our town has a wonderful special needs system and our teachers are fabulous. It was so nice to read your tribute to all of Julia's teachers and nurses over the years. In our pre-school class we have special needs children and they integrate in and out with the other children. Because I substitute I get to teach/learn from these wonderful teachers and children, I am inspired every time I am there. It is hard work and I just want you to know that when you leave your child at school you can completely trust that they are in good hands. These children are loved and cared for all day long, it is exhausting work, I don't know how the teachers do it everyday but they do and they do it with smiles and so much patience. My son is 7 he will be going into the 2nd grade (time flies) he does not have special needs, but what I like about teaching and being around these children is how much I learn from them, patience being the most important. It puts everything into perspective and when I get home I know how lucky I am and how much God has blessed me to be able to understand your world in just a fraction of what you do and to appreciate and be grateful for all I have.

I too have been following your blog for many years. I gave your first long blog post about Julia to my daughter, who was wrestling with her own special needs child and needed to know she was not alone. It gave her great comfort. Her son will be sixteen soon and she is trying to find a program for him as his current one closed down. I too worry about the future for him--and us all...

Your post was indeed a beautiful tribute to Julia and the people who brought her to this day. I read it with tears in my eyes for all of us who don't fit into the little boxes our society provides. G-d bless you and Mark and may He guide you as you shepherd Julia into adulthood.

All the best,

No high school graduate these days can transition into adulthood without many helping hands, but she is well on her way. I have no doubt she will have many opportunities to share her gifts with the world and to find her way in it. As for the people snickering or mocking, not only are they pond scum completely lacking in empathy, but apparently lack the intelligence to realize that any of us, at any moment, can suffer a health problem and lose abilities. I hope they did not mar your wonderful day.

My son (in spite of the fact I had read to him every night from his birth so it was not a case of no exposure to the written/spoken word)went from a non-reader at the end of second grade (when he was evaluated) to reading on level by the end of 6th grade He had other difficulties but the SpEd staff in the various schools were there for him. I have to say after high school I would have been happy for him to find a job and just stick with it, but he decided to join the AF and after that he had the GI bill and he went back to school (college). He is creative and funny as all get out. SpEd teachers gave him the opportunities.

I have followed your blog for a number of years now and have become so attached to you and your family. Julia has become a lovely and ,obviously, talented young lady. She always has the sweetest expression on her face. No wonder all her classmates stood up for her!
By the way, her woodworking is exceptional. She may well become an artist like you.
The education system has come very far since the passage of Federal law 94-172. It has opened a lot of doors to special needs kids who could mainstream.
I'm so glad it has worked out for Julia. However, she was so lucky to have advocates like you and your husband to see she did get all the help available. S for post high school, won't she be eligible for benefits until she is 21 or has that changed?
Well, anyway....
CONGRATULATIONS TO JULIA AND TO HER WONDERFUL PARENTS!!!!

You've written a beuatiful tribute not only to Julia but to all of the teachers who helped her to transform her life. They along with you and your husband guided her but she is the one who did the work. This speaks to her inner core and her ability and dedication to be all that she has the potential to become. The last photo you posted of her, I think, reveals a bit of her inner beauty as well as her physical beauty. You and your husband can be justifiably proud of her.
I'm happy for Julia that she received recognition of her hard work and dedication.
Congratulations to you family for all that you've accomplished together. Isn't love an amazing thing?
All the best, Linda Piotrowski

The distinctive machine was built for the Maharaja of Mysore, at the time claimed to be the second richest person in the world and one who was renowned for ordering his cars in multiples of seven! The fine detailing is very well done with extremely delicate wire wheels, realistic looking seating and plenty of plated parts including a snake's neck horn. Photographs of the restored car in recent years showed it with a very colourful umbrella on the rear, which was to shade the servants as they rode on platform right on the tail. This was intended by Carbone to be included with the roof up version, but was so delicate that it sadly had to be abandoned, although there is a mounting there.
High quality resin & metal hand built models, usually of very rare coachbuilt machines on exotic chassis. Excellent level of finish puts them among the best 1:43 miniatures available.

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Rafer Alston thought he was safe.
The veteran point guard knew his name was out there in trade talks, but he didn't hear anything when the Houston Rockets finished practice right around the trade deadline Thursday. He showered, got in his car and was driving home when his phone rang.
Alston was part of a last-minute deal after all. And after the initial shock, Alston was thrilled to be joining the Orlando Magic, a team desperate for an experienced playmaker after All-Star Jameer Nelson's season-ending shoulder injury.
"To go to a contender, I had a smile from cheek to cheek, from ear to ear when they told me I was coming to Orlando," Alston said before making a hurried debut against Charlotte on Friday night.
"Trust me, I understand having to fill the gap for an All-Star caliber point guard. He was having a phenomenal year."
Alston spoke about 90 minutes before tip-off against the Bobcats with a nameless No. 36 jersey hanging in the locker behind him -- the emergency uniform the Magic always bring with them on the road.
Alston arrived in Charlotte just after noon, underwent a physical and the trade was made official about two hours before the game. Alston had undergone a quick crash course on the offense and was already studying up on where Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis like the ball.
Meanwhile, coach Stan Van Gundy was thrilled general manager Otis Smith was able to get reliable point guard while only sending reserve power forward Brian Cook to the Rockets and a first-round draft pick to Memphis in the three-team deal.
"It's hard enough to come up with a guy like him, a starting-level point guard that also fits our style of play," Van Gundy said. "To do it without giving up anybody in your top 10, that is a phenomenal accomplishment. No matter what happens, it's on us now. Otis has gone out and done his job and done it extremely well. He's really helped us with this move."
The 32-year-old Alston, a career 38 percent shooter, has been playing well. He scored 22 points against Minnesota earlier this month and had racked up 24 assists in his last two games for Houston.
But Alston, averaging 11.5 points and 5.4 assists, knew the Rockets were grooming the younger Aaron Brooks to eventually take over at point guard.
"I thought maybe they would do it in the summer," Alston said when asked if he expected to be traded. "But Brooks is good. I love the way he plays and attacks the game. You can't get mad at an organization that wants to improve or look forward to the future. At some point it was going to happen."
Alston said his kids are excited to "hang out with Mickey" in Orlando while he's eager to try to fill in for Nelson, who had been having his best season and was picked for his first All-Star game before a torn labrum led to surgery Thursday.
The Magic had been struggling with Anthony Johnson and newly acquired Tyronn Lue at the point in the past six games. They hope Alston will help them close the gap with Eastern Conference heavyweights Boston and Cleveland.
"I watch them all the time," Alston said of his new team. "I've played against them and I know what they like. Rashard can post on the block and step out and shoot the 3. You know Dwight is a good lob catcher and you want to give him the ball deep in the lane. And the rest of the guys are great shooters. It's exciting."

Sacrificing Graduation to Race
The sports of track & field and running require a great deal of sacrifice. Whether you are a lifelong adult runner, an elite runner, college team member, or high school athlete, there are sacrifices you must make in order to be successful. The main sacrifice is usually time. It takes time to train. Time to go for a long run, or do your core workout, or to ice a nagging injury. Much of the training required to be the best you can be is not glamorous but most of us who do it consider the opportunity to set a personal record or compete at the highest level that we can, well worth the sacrifice.
Today I share a story about two seniors I coach on the Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory (SHCP) track & field team who had to make a big sacrifice last weekend. As fate would have it the SHCP graduation fell on the same day as the Central Coast Section (CCS) Track & Field Trials. We've had this conflict in the past and athletes have had to leave graduation early (Nick Lien '03, Jason Kobuchi '04, and Christina Young '04) or had to come to the meet immediately after the ceremony (Andy Lee '03, Michelle Gallagher '03, Tammia Hubbard '09). But this year the student-athletes had to choose one or the other. With graduation scheduled for 10:00 A.M. and CCS Trials starting at 11:00 A.M. in Gilroy,one and a half hours south of San Francisco, it was impossible to do both.
I had anticipated this conflict at the beginning of the season but didn't want to jinx our chances of qualifying to compete by bringing it up too soon. Two weeks before the league final I finally told the seniors that, if they qualified for CCS Trials, they and their parents would have a difficult decision to make. At the league final on Friday night May 14, the boys 4X100 relay team of sophomore Michael Munchua, junior Gary Moore, senior Marcus Del Bianco, and senior Doug Parrish qualified for CCS Trials. Now came decision time.
All along the boys were telling me they were going to skip graduation to run CCS Trials. But I encouraged them to go home and talk it over with their families. It wasn't until Monday that both athletes and their families officially agreed to skip graduation for the meet.
I worked with the SHCP administration to make sure Marcus and Doug were properly recognized at other senior ceremonies during graduation week. I also worked out a secret plan to have a mini-graduation ceremony for them at the track after the CCS Trials meet. I got their diplomas from the registrar. One assistant coach downloaded pomp and circumstance onto his iPod. Another assistant coach brought mini speakers. I made arrangements to have a cap and gown for both Marcus and Doug down in Gilroy. And I dusted off my own hood and gown so that I would be properly attired to present the diplomas. The rest of the team and the families were told to meet on the warm-up field at the end of the meet for the surprise graduation ceremony.
What followed was a touching ceremony where I got to let Marcus and Doug know how much I appreciated the sacrifice they had made to run at the CCS Trials Meet.

This is why SHCP is so special! AWESOME. Congratulations to Marcus. Great day for Doug Parrish and good luck at SJSU.
Doug & Marcus:
As I said at the Football Banquet it has been a pleasure to watch all of you throughout the past four years and be able to photograph and video tape many special moments in your high school careers. I am really happy this was videotaped. You both got a huge round of applause at the graduation ceremony at St. Mary's Cathedral. I know your classmates and friends missed you at this occasion but you are true Irish! I wish you the best in your college years and beyond. Welcome to the alumnai association! And congradulations for your CCS track meet!
Sincerely your fellow alumnai,
Joe Bardine '73
Excellent! Another reason why I selected SHCP for my daughter
now finishing a fabulous freshman year. Thank You!
This was a truly amazing day for both Marcus and Doug. To be able to compete and qualify for CCS Finals on Graduation Day will never be forgotten by them. Doug PR'd his 400 time by running a 50 flat and that was the first thing he said to me leaving the track. Little did he know his cap and gown were waiting for him around the corner for a surprise Graduation Ceremony orchestrated by Coach Chan and his wonderful coaching staff. This Graduation Day will never be forgotten. I am so thankful to Coach Chan and his coaching staff for making sure that Marcus and Doug were truly celebrated and I am thankful for the school's Administration for being supportive. As a parent you never want your child to miss out on anything life has to offer, like a their High School Graduation. But when it was all said and done, I was pleased to know that Doug and Marcus were celebrated and rewarded in many special ways in this past week that will surely make for fond memories of their unique High School Graduation for years to come. As Doug's mother I thank Coach Chan and his staff for being supportive, caring and dedicated to all the children they coach. I also would like to wish you ALL luck at Friday night's CCS Finals. Go Irish!
My Sincere Thanks To The Coaching Staff!!
These boys have to be commended for making a decision to miss an important day of their high school years. This is the one BIG day that students look forward to and these boys made a big sacrifice for SHCP. Congratulations to Doug and Marcus. Good luck at the finals.

Jesus taught us the two greatest commandments when he said, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and the first commandment. And the second is like it, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." (Matthew 22: 37-39) St. Therese understood and lived out both of these commandments of Our Lord to a heroic degree. She exemplified the living out of the second commandment when she went out of her way to spend time with the nuns in the convent who appeared depressed or lonely. She reached out habitually to those who were suffering or who had difficult personalities.
St. Therese spoke about the importance of fraternal charity in the following story. "Oh! the unfathomable tenderness of God's exquisite mercy towards the weak and imperfect. I marvel when I see how He always seems to surround them with His protecting love. We should react in the same way to the peculiar needs of our neighbour. Even in nature we have a faint image of this provident concern of the Creator when we compare the course bean with the little green pea. Although both must endure alike the heat of the day and the chill of night, yet the attractive little pea, you will notice, has not received the extra protection of the tough outer covering of the unattractive bean. Therefore in imitation of Our Heavenly Father let us also bestow a more indulgent love and protective care on those who have the greater need." (My Sister Saint Therese, p. 131-132)

Funny Face
One of the most inspiring women we can think of is Audrey Hepburn. She the iconic ideal of what a lady should be... Graceful, smart, funny, beautiful, kind. The world knows her as a movie star and fashion icon, but many people don't know much about her personal life.
Audrey Hepburn grew up in Europe during World War Two. She lived in the Netherlands during the Nazi invasion and their she suffered along with millions of others. Malnutrition and anemia from lack of food were some of her hardships. These experiences sparked in Audrey a desire to help other people in need.
Audrey spent may years working with UNICEF as a Good Will Ambassador. Traveling to some of the poorest regions of the world including Africa, South America and Asia. In 1992 Audrey Hepburn was awarded with the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her work with UNICEF and children around the world.
Living a life filled with many romances and many losses, Audrey became a mother to two sons. Sean & Luca were born 10 years apart.
Although she only had two biological children, through her charitable work, Audrey was a mother to many children in need all over the world.
Audrey Hepburn passed away at the age of 61 from appendiceal cancer a very rare form of the disease. The goodness of this woman heart matched her outer beauty, and that will continue to inspire people... Women & Mothers for years and years to come.
XOXO- Thing We Heart

a quick little post...kind of crazy at the moment. Cary is still in the usa. He had his birthday last week and what did we give him? A phone call. Summer will turn 11 in 6 days. And I am just not ready for anything to do with Christmas. Though after Nicholas' pleading, I did give in a buy a cheap tree which he adores. We went to a mall last week that I usually avoid and I could not wait to get out of there. Too much 'stuff'! people rushing around with no smiles but big bags filled with stuff. Where is the meaning??????
Last week we happened to catch some filming of a kids show "H2O" about three teenaged girls who turn into mermaids when they get wet. It's usually filmed at the local Warner Bros. studio, but they were on location at 'our' headland. So we stopped and watched for a while. AJ got a bit bored as each scene took sooooo long to film and they did it over and over from different angles. Summer was excited and had "a million questions". If we'd had our camera, the kids could have had their pic taken with the girls, but of course I didn't.
Some travelling homeschool friends that we met when we were on the road are back in town. They have 3 kids and one of their sons and AJ are best friends. All the kids get on well together so it's lots of fun when we get together.
Just got off the phone from Cary who said he'll be home on thursday. Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As we focus on trend predictions for 2014, we revisit some of Susie Ellis's, President of SpaFinder Wellness 365, trend predictions for 2013 and take a close look at the ones we think will continue to surface in 2014, and perhaps beyond. In today's article, we start with Susie's 2013 trend prediction on "Where the Jobs Are" – a trend that proved to be spot on in terms of the industry's human capital, and one that will take momentum in 2014. Let's explain the industry's current move across borders.
Human capital is the most important component to the success of the spa industry. Without a doubt, the people running the business and meeting the needs of the client hold the success of the entire industry in their hands. And, while human capital is available and increasing talent is present, there's another risk pushing the industry in a new direction, a direction that may not be ideal for all involved. In short, the economy in developed countries, including throughout Europe and the United States, is causing a fleeing of the best human capital over the border. What could this move mean and should it be stopped?
The demand for talent is easy to see
According to the SRI research report The Global Wellness Tourism Economy, the spa industry is valued at $180 billion US dollars. From this high dollar figure, it is clear that the need for well qualified talent in this industry is present. Talent is the key deciding factor when it comes to building success. There is also little doubt that the demand for this talent will continue to grow. In short, we need professionals who are highly skilled.
The challenges facing our human capital investment
There's a growing trend present in the spa industry, and in many industries in general, that talent is ready to move. It is clear that the US and European economies are struggling to recover, even years after the so-called Great Recession ended. Keeping that in mind, many spas simply do not have the funds to pay high salaries, even when they are much deserved to top talent. This leaves the talented professional with the desire and need to look for work elsewhere. And, many of these professionals are taking their skills overseas.
Emerging markets are attracting well-respected – US, European amongst other countries – talent. Even as our demand increases, these emerging markets are far more attractive to these professionals for various reasons, including the opportunity to excel, be valued, and in some cases, to earn more. Nevertheless, there are some key challenges in this situation that need to be considered.
- Will salaries really be higher for expat spa talent? Emerging markets tend to be lower-income locations. While actual salaries will be lower when compared dollar to dollar, it's likely the cost of living will be significantly lower as well.
- Is there a lack of experience in the market of these emerging locations? Even those highly talented professionals will find openings in key tourism destinations. Yet, there is a lack of domestic spa experience in many emerging markets. This could drive wages and overall demand for qualified professionals higher.
- There will be challenges to both the expat talent and spas hiring them – for example, local preferences in terms of treatments and cultural differences, including new languages, that could impact how this expat talent fit in with colleagues from the local destination, and the profit margins these spas will generate as a result of hiring more expensive talent. The learning curve is likely to be significant in these situations.
- Talent may not be paid based on experience or qualification. This is an important consideration for any spa professional considering the move. Unlike in western countries, being qualified and having years of skill may not translate into a higher salary, something individuals must keep in mind.
Human capital that's highly talented is one of the most important components to the spa industry. Yet, there is an increasing demand for these professionals overseas. With many jumping the border for what seems to be better opportunities on the other side, it's essential for both spa talent and management to carefully consider the impact. Less talent in the US and Europe may drive up salaries in order to retain talent, even in a demanding economy with falling spa prices. This unique situation may demand the revisiting of valuing, and rightfully rewarding, qualifications and skills to ensure the very best talent isn't lost.

The list of things you can do with a touchscreen reads like a manual for misbehaving in elementary school: tap, swipe, double-tap, pinch, pull, drag, flick, twist. Our natural affinity for manipulative gestures has helped to transition them from the schoolyard to everyday computing experiences.
But as these gestures become fundamental to mobile interaction, we take their subtle complexities for granted. The difference between a tap and a swipe seems obvious to a human observer, but the distinction isn't necessarily as clear to a machine, and understanding why can help you create better mobile experiences.
We've thought a lot about taps and swipes when designing the Minuum keyboard, and have fallen in love with the simplicity of this case study in particular.
But let's take a step back: what happens when you drag your finger along a screen? You get something like this:
Touchscreen hardware races to calculate the position of your fingers about 50-200 times per second, reporting back a list of points describing the path that you took. Ideally, a tap on the screen generates a single data point, while a swipe generates a list of data points not unlike the diagram above. The problem? A tap isn't always quite a tap, and a swipe isn't always quite a swipe.
Both taps and swipes end up looking similarly like smudges. This is a problem that we've especially had to deal with when designing our touchscreen keyboard, where tapping happens rapidly enough that accidental dragging of taps is inevitable. To top this all off, we also have to deal with:
a) differences between users
b) differences between one-handed/two-handed use
c) different environmental factors (bumpy roads, a night on the town)
To properly distinguish between taps and swipes, we'll need a simple gesture classification system. We can stick with our intuition, or if we want to get fancy, we can bust out some machine learning algorithms. Let's break down some approaches you could take.
1. Intuition (not quite enough)
The standard approach here is to simply choose some property of the gesture, like the displacement, velocity, or acceleration. Say we choose velocity – we then pick an arbitrary velocity threshold; above this threshold (fast), a gesture counts as a swipe, and below the threshold (slow) a gesture counts as a tap. We'll then play around with the threshold until it "feels" right, and be done.
Depending on the ferocity with which you expect users to use your app, this approach may be sufficient for you. But if users will be doing any serious mix of tapping and swiping, this trial-and-error approach won't quite cut it.
2. Machine Learning (a bit much)
The machine learning approach involves feeding the computer big chunks of raw data, and having it automatically learn the distinction between different types of gestures.
Classification is a textbook problem in machine learning: you have two (or more) categories of things that you are measuring, and you need a way to automatically classify things into those categories. In our case, the things are touchscreen gestures, and the two categories are "taps" and "swipes."
The advanced developer might be tempted to use linear discriminant analysis, or a host of other algorithms, but is this really necessary in this case?
3. Data Diving (juuuust right)
The dirty secret of machine learning is that intuition plays a huge role. Understanding the data is the most important first step in any advanced approach. Even better, when our data is simple enough, visualizing that data to improve our intuition is really the only step that we need to take. No advanced computer science skills necessary.
Let's choose two features of our user data which we think might help us to distinguish between taps and swipes: total displacement, and final velocity. We expect swipes to be both longer and faster than taps. We can test this by plotting every gesture as a single point on a graph, with displacement on one axis, and velocity on the other:
We have two main clumps of data that emerge: the clump at the bottom left accounts for the taps (both slow and short), and the big mess in the middle of the graph accounts for all of the variably fast and long swipe gestures.
Creating this kind of graph is a) my favourite thing to do, b) something I highly recommend to every UX designer/developer/researcher, and c) something that I suspect not enough people actually get around to doing.
But how do we use this graph to properly define the difference between taps and swipes? Let's first draw the simple threshold that we intuitively guessed, choosing a speed as the dividing line.
In the above figure, our speed threshold does a pretty good job of separating the two clusters, but we can see that we're accidentally treating way too many points at the bottom-middle and bottom-right as belonging to the "tap" cluster, when they clearly represent long strokes which were intended as swipes.
We could instead choose a displacement threshold, as shown below:
This does a better job, but leaves us wishing that some of those very fast but short gestures on the left-hand side could be counted as swipe gestures.
The beautiful aspect of visualizing our data like this, is that we don't have to constrain ourselves to these boring thresholds; instead we can choose an arbitrary line. So let's put it at an angle where it feels best:
This line means that any gesture that appears to be fast and short, or slow and long, is clearly a swipe; a gesture that is slow and short is considered a tap. By choosing our diagonal threshold according to two different features of the data (speed and displacement), we were able to find a more complete classifier that prevents fringe swipes from being erroneously detected as taps.
The process of choosing this line is what a machine learning algorithm would have done for us, but our data was simple enough that we didn't need to bother with writing any code. And of course, we only knew that our data was simple because we bothered to visualize it. Whatever route you take, just don't forget to take a good look at the data first. Only then should you decide for yourself how aggressively you want to dig into it, and how much you need your algorithms to get involved.
The Next Level
If you really want to go a step further, the natural next step is to have the system adapt to each user on the fly. That's when you'll need to bring machine learning into the loop; the algorithms will dynamically move this threshold line around as it learns more about the user's fluctuating clusters of points. Just don't forget – you'll never set those algorithms up properly unless you actually visualize some sample data yourself, first.
