Soot, also known as black carbon, is the second-leading cause of global warming after carbon dioxide, and it's totally preventable. We already have the technology to avoid producing it; it's just a matter of using it.
We need tighter standards on diesel fuel at home, and we need to finance technology transfer abroad. Reducing black carbon now will buy precious time for the Arctic, and improve public health.
In an op-ed, attorney Erika Rosenthal and professor Martin Williams discuss how Arctic nations have an extraordinary opportunity to show global leadership to slow regional warming and melting by embracing a proposal to launch talks on an agreement to reduce emissions of the climate pollutant black carbon.
Earthjustice, Clean Air Task Force and the American Lung Association released the report Sick of Soot in November 2011. The report summarizes the findings of a technical report showing that nearly 36,000 premature deaths could be prevented in the U.S. every year if the Environmental Protection Agency strengthens the health standards for soot pollution.
Read Sick of Soot to learn about fine particulate matter and how both short- and long-term exposure is dangerous to public health.

"Love this for my little one on the way. I will certainly be getting the matching announcements once she makes her arrival! The pink and gray are the colors I have chosen for her nursery too so it worked great!"
"I love the design and quality of the Typewriter Stats thank you cards, but the color was not even close to what I thought it would be. I ordered red, but the actual color looks brown. I still love the overall product, but I would caution customers regarding the appearance of the colors on a computer versus what the color actually is."
"These are great deal for some personalized stationery. They are a little on the small side so check the dimensions but overall I was impressed with the quality, production and customer service. I have ordered many times with Tiny Prints and have yet to be disappointed. :) Thanks!"
"I got these to use from the family once the baby was born...I actually ran out of some of my other cute cards from Tiny Prints so I have started to use these already (before the baby has arrived). They are sweet and elegant and the colors are perfect!"
"I was able to essentially create this thank you to my specifications with little effort because Tiny Prints make it easy for you. We get so many compliments too!"

our customers are happy!
It made my customers happy! That is what counts.
I liked the price and the quality of the t-shirts. No other vendor could beat your prices!
Good quality. Standard sizing. Great price. I would purchase again.
I like the quality of the t-shirt.
There was one miscount. +1M, -1S
The shirts were thinner than I expected. I have ordered Gilden shirts before albeit in 100% cotton but at the same weight and the shirts were much denser than these. The screen was a bit thin on the shirt as well. Don't know if the thinness of the shirt impacted the screening at all. It is quite possible.

Now is truly the time for Spurs to lay the Chelsea hoodoo to rest
Let me take you to 1990. Football was a very different place indeed and almost unrecognisable compared to the landscape we know today.
It was a time when Manchester United had gone more than 20 years without winning a league title. A time when Arsenal could boast of having 18 Englishmen on their first-team squad. A time when Chelsea had yet to buy their first £1m player.
It also was the last time that Tottenham won a game at Stamford Bridge. Gary Lineker scored the winning goal for Spurs in a game notable for Paul Gascoigne lashing out at Chelsea's John Bumstead.
That win would help Tottenham grab a third-place finish in the old First Division, with Arsenal in fourth and Chelsea fifth. Anyone else licking their lips in anticipation of a spot of deja vu?
- Video: AVB hits back at Szczesny
- Cox: Huddlestone surprises Spurs with re-emergence
- AVB: Players' openness key to success
The only problem is that beating Chelsea in 2013 is a lot tougher than it was back in 1990. While Spurs have a player in the shape of Gareth Bale who can stand comparison with Gascoigne and Lineker, Chelsea are unfortunately no longer fielding players like Bumstead.
So how do Tottenham go about breaking the hoodoo? Belief is a big factor, and there is no reason for the players to not believe that they can get a result at Chelsea. After all, Spurs have won at Old Trafford, the Emirates, the Etihad and Anfield in recent seasons. Stamford Bridge is simply the last ground to tick off the list.
Tottenham lost 4-2 at home to Chelsea earlier in the season. It was a time when the team was still adjusting to life under Andre Villas-Boas and Chelsea were firing on all cylinders.
Spurs were also extremely unlucky to lose Bale from the starting XI, when his girlfriend went into labor at a most inconvenient time.
That defeat was the first time Spurs had suffered a home loss to Chelsea since 2005. So again, Tottenham have no reason to be overawed by their opponents.
For Villas-Boas, this is a chance to get one over his former employer, and he needs to get his tactics right. I'm hoping that AVB changes his recent habit for defensive rotation and picks the same back four that kept a clean sheet against Southampton.
Benoit Assou-Ekotto had a pretty bad game Saturday, but he should be retained against Chelsea, and not Kyle Naughton.
AVB went for a 4-2-3-1 formation against Southampton. With Scott Parker and Moussa Dembele both looking doubtful, he would be wise to change back to 4-3-3 to provide safety by numbers.
A midfield trio of Tom Huddlestone, Lewis Holtby and Tom Carroll would have the right blend of passing ability and work rate to compete against a Chelsea team that have a lot of midfield players employing central areas.
In attack, I would imagine that Jermain Defoe will be retained, despite playing pretty poorly against both Wigan and Southampton. He simply works harder than Emmanuel Adebayor and offers the option of switching to the left and cutting inside.
A trio of Defoe, Bale and Aaron Lennon could all interchange positions fluidly. If Lennon doesn't play, then Gylfi Sigurdsson would be my preference over Clint Dempsey.
Before Chelsea's late winner against Manchester United, I was thinking that a point would represent a very decent result at Stamford Bridge. Now I think that Spurs really need to win this one.
Perhaps that's for the best. Tottenham have looked better this season against good teams than bad ones. They've beaten Manchester United, Manchester City and Arsenal this season.
There is no reason why Chelsea can't be added to that list. It's time Spurs knocked this pub trivia question on the head.
If the question is: "Who scored the winning goal when Tottenham last beat Chelsea" -- then by Wednesday night, I want the answer to be: "Gareth Bale."

My Bridesmaid Dresses I am using these as my bridesmaid dresses for my gold and blush colored wedding. These dresses fit my maids in the sizes 0, 17, 13, and 7. It looks great on all of them and is very very flattering. The turn around time was amazing! It was originally 6-8 weeks, but the dresses were back within a single week/ week and 1/2!! April 3, 2014
Amazingly Happy I purchased this dress today I went through six other stores then got to this one. I was disappointed because I couldn't find an Ivory Dress. I called my fiance and asked him if any other color would be okay and he said yes. I got this dress in blush and when I put it on I felt absolutely amazing in it. It will be me my fiance and my best friend with the Rev. I found this dress as I was walking out and getting ready to think things over at lunch. I stopped I saw it and I knew it was the one!!!!!! October 26, 2013
Simply perfect Using this dress as a bridesmaids dress for 4 of them and it looks fabulous on all of them and they all range in sizes, 1-20. All the colors in it are beautiful but the eggplant fit my peacock theme! October 14, 2013
Cute as a button This picture does not do the dress justice. I used this dress to get married on a horse and it flowed so nicely over the backside of the horse! The dress was very comfortable and as any strapless dress, you do have to worry about it sliding down at times. Overall beautiful dress and well made! September 3, 2013

This small but bustling town, at the confluence of the rivers Derwent and Cocker, has a maze of narrow streets that are a delight to wander. It's a bit off the usual tourist path, and a bit bohemian. The ruined 13th-century castle is open only on special occasions. Over a weekend in September the town holds the Taste Cumbria Food Festival.

No Regrets is Mildred Riley's fitting tribute "in memory of the women and men of the Harlem Renaissance -- those poets, writers, artists, and musicians...whose intense achievements still shine with such fierce brilliance..."
No Regrets, the story of Roy Yates and Maddie Young, begins in Harlem in 1923. Roy and Maddie meet during their high school days at MacAllister-Whitney High School. Maddie is a talented soprano who has dreams of becoming an opera singer. Roy is a track star and pianist who is desperate to prevent spending another summer working in the Connecticut Valley tobacco farms.
Maddie's dreams are deferred after her parents' tragic deaths in a house fire. Her older brother leaves school and ships out on a Liberian freighter to make a life for himself and to provide for Maddie. She is taken in by her classmate and best friend, Sis Hardin, and her mother. While Roy is smitten with Maddie, she only sees him as a friend, a surrogate big brother. Sis has other ideas.
Maddie is still determined to carry out her parents' dream and pursue a classical music career. But Black divas are few and far between. The best known was Sissieretta Jones, who sang at the White House for four presidents and worked with Dvorak.
Her fortunes change when a rich white benefactor hears her sing and decides to sponsor her. Maddie receives a scholarship to study at Juilliard and later leaves Harlem to continue her studies in Paris. As Maddie's ship is about to leave New York for Paris, Roy blurts out to Maddie that he loves her.
After graduation, Roy lands a job at the Chauncey's, a popular Black-owned nightspot, where strangers need a password to get in. Roy begins as a pianist, but his career soars. He becomes a popular orchestra leader, Broadway musician and recording artist. Although his career as a jazz musician has taken off, he's never forgotten Maddie.
But Maddie is in Paris and Sis Hardin isn't. Sis sees Roy as her ticket out of her job in a Seventh Avenue dress factory and into a more prominent social position. She insinuates herself into his life and career, knowing that he will always love Maddie.
No Regrets is a like a wonderful compilation of James Van derZee photographs come to life. Mildred Riley has captured the Harlem of musicians Duke Ellington and Cab Calloway; of writers Zora Neale Hurston, Langston Hughes and James Weldon Johnson; and the haunts like the Cotton Club and Smalls' Paradise. Harlemites have rent parties, attend the Abyssinian Baptist Church, go to amateur night at the Apollo Theater and frequent the Harlem branch of the New York Public Library (currently known as the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture).
The European leg of Mattie's story explores the influence of African-American arts and cuisine through the lives of "Les Americains Noirs," the Black expatriates living in Paris. Black pilots, poets, musicians, singers and African and Caribbean students and scholars appear as secondary characters.
Mildred Riley has written a very simple, straightforward and somewhat predictable romance that has many textures and layers. Riley tells the stories of Maddie and Roy against a backdrop of speakeasies, bootleggers, mobsters and racism without resorting to stereotypes.
You can almost see the Packards, Duesenbergs and Reos drive up to Chauncey's when Tallulah Bankhead, Jimmy Durante and the Gershwin brothers show up. You can almost hear the music and experience the Charleston, Black Bottom and chorus line dancing.
No Regrets is a lyrical treat that captures the essence of Harlem jazz, Chicago blues and the African disaspora. It evokes memories of filmmaker Oscar Micheaux's early race movies. There are many visual images and scenes that readily lend themselves to film.
No Regrets is a late release. Mildred Riley's story of jazz, blues and of love and dreams deferred was scheduled for distribution in the early spring. No Regrets is a welcome slice of African-American history and culture that is definitely worth the wait.

Marlene is my grandmother's name, and she pronounces it as mar-LEEN, which I think is beautiful.
I had a hispanic student named Valeria. The first time I read her name, I am embarrassed to admit that I pronounced it as Val-er-EE-a. She informed me that she pronounces it as Val-AID-ya. My brother is a Spanish major, and he said that some hispanic dialects would pronounce the "r" sound in a way that sounds like a "d" to our American ears.
On the same note, we had a German exchange student in high school named Lena. I pronounced her name as "LEE-na", but she said that none of us were pronouncing it right. When she said her name, it still sounded like LEE-na. Maybe a someone who speaks German can shed some light?

Written by P. David Hornik
There's no evidence they had any success; Austrian-Iranian ties appear to be too lucrative for such persuasion to work.
In April 2007 the Austrian oil company OMV signed a major deal with Iran for a joint natural gas project. As Simone Dinah Hartmann of STOPTHEBOMB noted Monday in an informative op-ed,
The total investment amounts to 22 billion euros over the next 25 years. Experts believe that these revenues will be used to finance the Iranian nuclear weapons program and undermine present international sanctions.
Austria's Social Democratic chancellor Alfred Gusenbauer has said his government will not interfere in business transactions. But this is at best a bad joke: the state of Austria holds 31.5% of OMV's shares. The company's CEO, Wolfgang Ruttensdorfer, is a former official of the Social Democratic party, which has always been tight with OMV.
Indeed, as Hartmann further points out,
this deal [with Iran] is backed by all parties represented in the Austrian parliament. Social Democrats, Conservatives, Greens and the far right have closed ranks against demands to cancel the negotiations with Iran.
This wall-to-wall unity is in the service of a venerable tradition: OMV, a firm with a good nose for carrion, was selling gas to the Soviet Union just after it crushed the Prague Spring in 1968, to Libya in the 1980s, and to Sudan from the late 1990s till 2003 when it was the last international corporation to leave the country. State-backed OMV is always looking for a new venture in tyranny, terror, and mass murder to fuel, and these days what better client is there than the mullahs?
And OMV is only the cutting edge of the relationship; Austria's total exports to Iran have doubled since 2002. Still, the OMV deal could catapult this trade from millions to billions, and it's no surprise that the president of Iran's Chamber of Commerce, Ali Naghi Khamoushi, said in November 2006 that "Austria is the gate to the European Union for us."
The OMV deal has drawn criticism in the West, including from German chancellor Angela Merkel.
But as a recent Jerusalem Post editorial noted, "this is close to the pot calling the kettle black."
Germany, too, treats Teheran as a market it can't do without: "Germany is Iran's largest European trading partner and has been the most resistant to tightening sanctions among the pivotal EU-3—the UK, France and Germany."
Another of the Post's recent important articles on Europe and Iran gives more of the details:
In 2007, Germany sold €3.5 billion of goods to Iran, including €1.5 billion worth of engineering products and high tech equipment. Security and terrorism experts argue that Germany is uniquely positioned to tighten the economic screws on Iran.
…The growing infrastructure of the Iranian economy is heavily dependent on German technological know-how. Michael Tockuss, the former president of the German-Iranian Chamber of Commerce in Teheran, said, "Some two-thirds of Iranian industry relies on German engineering products."
…Critics assert that sophisticated engineering technology lends itself to "dual-usage," and can be rapidly converted for nuclear military purposes.
…Siemens . . . whose economic deals total over half a billion dollars in Iran, conceded in late January that it spent €19 million to bribe Iranian officials to do business with it….
Although German exports to Iran shrank by 15% percent last year [a claim that has been placed in doubt], a dramatic 50% increase of Iranian exports to Germany, totaling €580 million, took place in 2007.
It's not that Germany and Austria are Iran's only partners in Europe. Just in the past year Dutch, Spanish, and Norwegian firms have been dealing and talking with Teheran on natural gas projects. Total, France's oil company, continues to invest millions per year in the mullahcracy. And while 40% of Iran's trade is with Europe, only 1% of Europe's trade is with Iran—yet even this Europe is loath to give up.
Still, for Israel the leading roles of Germany and Austria have a special resonance. For these two countries—which in March will be marking seventy years since their Anschluss—the first Holocaust was largely a matter of ideology. The second, if it transpires, will be a matter of heaps of shiny euros.

History of the University of Rochester Medical Center
In 1910, Abraham Flexner, under the auspices of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, published a report on medical schools that led to a revolution in how medicine was taught across the country.
By 1920, Flexner approached Dr. Benjamin Rush Rhees, then president of the University of Rochester, with the idea of establishing a medical school at the university that would utilize his revolutionary ideals in medical education. Flexner and Rhees then approached George Eastman, founder of Eastman Kodak, to help back the idea financially. Additional monies came from the General Education Board of the Rockefeller Foundation and the daughters of the late Henry Alvah Strong, former business partner to George Eastman, to build a university, medical school, and hospital on land located on the southern boundaries of the City of Rochester near the banks of the Genesee River.
The URMC was founded in 1921, and George Hoyt Whipple was recruited from the University of California at San Francisco to become the first dean of the School of Medicine and Dentistry. Whipple helped shape the school from its inception, hiring faculty and staff and supervising the design and construction of buildings. The medical school opened in 1925 and Strong Memorial Hospital opened its doors as a 250-bed community facility. The University of Rochester School of Medicine & Dentistry graduated its first class in 1929.

BGE Working to Restore Power as Winter Storm Continues to Affect Central Maryland
As a reminder, BGE recently launched a new mobile website and an enhanced outage map <http://outagemap.bge.com/> , where customers can report outages <https://secure.bge.com/Forms/
Baltimore Gas and Electric Company Working to Restore Power as Winter Storm Continues to
Affect Central Maryland
BALTIMORE, March 6, 2013 – Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE) <http://www.bge.com/Pages/
Restoration of current outages now under way; crews are prepared to respond to potential outages resulting from weakened trees
"BGE is working as safely and quickly as possible to restore power to our customers," said Jeannette M. Mills, vice president and chief customer officer for BGE. "Throughout this process, it's vitally important that customers report downed wires by calling877.778.2222. Customers should report power outages <https://secure.bge.com/Forms/
More than 2,500 field and support forces are engaged in the restoration effort, with more than 570 out-of-state and contract linemen and support staff assisting or en route from Alabama, Georgia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, North Carolina, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. As part of BGE's effort to engage as many employees as possible in storm roles, there are a number of BGE meter readers assisting in storm restoration efforts. As a result, some customers may receive an estimated meter reading in this month's bill. Customers should be aware that this reading – as well as any associated payments - will be automatically corrected in a subsequent bill.
BGE's restoration priorities are public safety issues and critical facilities such as 911 centers, hospitals and water/sewage treatment centers. Then restoration is generally scheduled so that the greatest number of customers can be restored as quickly and as safely as possible.
Company and out-of-state crews are working diligently to restore power; however, some work must be delayed until it is safe to perform such as work requiring bucket trucks, which cannot be safely operated with wind speeds at or above 25 miles per hour. Customers should prepare for the possibility of extended power outages in the event that the snowfall causes treacherous road conditions, which may delay crew travel and restoration times.
As outages become more widespread due to damage caused by this storm, BGE will not be able to provide individual estimated restoration times as it does with less severe storms. BGE anticipates that an estimated time for restoration of the entire system will not be available until damage assessments are complete and the company works through the first phases of the restoration process to repair the electric system backbone and public safety sites. In order to limit the understandable frustration that results when the company is unable to restore power by a given time, estimated times for restoration on a feeder and individual customer basis will only become available to customers as BGE works through the damage to its system and the company has high confidence in their accuracy. Even with this precaution, customers are reminded that these timeframes may change as restoration efforts continue and specific outage causes are analyzed.
Customers should visit BGE's online Storm Center <http://www.bge.com/

Parent Directory | Revision Log
|Links to HEAD:
|(view) (annotate)
|Links to SLIME-0-14:
|(view) (annotate)
|Sticky Tag:
(close-socket): Remove any SERVE-EVENT handlers for the socket's file descriptor.
(resolve-note-location): Resolve the location if we are called by swank-compile-string. The pathname argument is never :stream in SBCL, so the method written for CMUCL was never called.
Removed obsolete `swank-compile-system'. Removed some stale comments about supported features.
See ChangeLog entry 2004-04-06 Marco Baringer
Remove the workarounds for non-existent fcntl. (preferred-communication-style): Use multithreading if futexes are available, sigio if fctnl is present, and fd-handlers otherwise. (resolve-note-location): Don't try to construct a source-location if there's no context. Notes without location will be displayed in the note-listing buffer.
(enable-sigio-on-fd): Use sb-posix::fcntl instead of sb-posix:fcntl to avoid the ugly reader hack. SBCL doesn't have package locks and even if they add locks in the future sb-posix::fcntl will still be valid. (getpid): Use defimplementation instead of defmethod. (function-definitions): Take generalized function names ala '(setf car)' as argument.
(getpid): Use sb-posix:getpid.
(*communication-style*): New name for *swank-in-background*.
(+o_async+, +f_setown, +f_setfl+): Add correct constants for FreeBSD.

more tweaking.
(find-definitions): Some tweaking.

(kill-thread): Implemented.
(compile-file-for-emacs): Load the fasl file regardless of f-p.
* slime.el: Various bits of support for maintaining multiple SLIME connections to different Lisp implementations simultaneously. * swank-{backend,cmucl,sbcl,clisp,lispworks,openmcl}.lisp (lisp-implementation-type-name): Add function to return simple name of lisp implementation; used by new multi-connection functionality in slime.el.

(signal-compiler-condition): Initialize short-message slot. (long-compiler-message-for-emacs): New function.
(create-socket): Take interface as argument.
(inspected-parts): Implemented.
Update for modified thread interface.
(enable-sigio-on-fd): New function. Use fallback if sb-posix:fcntl isn't fbound.
(add-input-handler): Use fcntl from the sb-posix package.
Add more type declarations and detect missing initargs for the connection struct. Patch by Robert E. Brown.
Merge stateless-emacs branch into main trunk.
Patch by Robert E. Brown. Add type declarations to keep SBCL quiet.
Profiler support. Patch by Michael Weber.
(eval-in-frame, return-from-frame): Implemented. (sb-debug-catch-tag-p): New auxiliary predicate. (source-path<): Delete unused function.
Removed redundant MAKE-FN-STREAMS that I had re-added. Didn't see that it was common in swank-gray.lisp.
Updated to use `defimplementation'.
(make-fn-streams): Deleted. Already defined in swank-gray.lisp.
(arglist-string): Refactor common code to swank.lisp. (call-without-interrupts, getpid): Are now generic functions.
(remove-input-handlers): New method.
Implemented multiprocessing. Not perfect.

(create-socket, local-port, close-socket, accept-connection) (add-input-handler, spawn): Implement new socket interface.
Updated for new network interface.
Implemented new server interface.
(format-condition-for-emacs): Replaced with debugger-condition-for-emacs. (backtrace): Use print-with-frame-label. (frame-locals): Rename the :symbol property to :name.
* swank-source-path-parser.lisp: new file, excerpting part of swank-cmucl.lisp to where SBCL can find it as well.
unbroke last commit, in two obvious respects
* swank-sbcl.lisp (compiler-note-location): replace with thinly-ported version from the CMUCL backend which understands :lisp as a pathname * slime.el (slime-xrefs-for-notes): a little more temporary variables, a little less cdr. Should be slightly faster on big systems (slime-goto-next-xref): set window point as well as buffer point - now works in GNU Emacs 21.2.1
* swank-backend.lisp (call-with-compilation-hooks): new GF should set up all appropriate error condition loggers etc to do a compilation preserving the notes. Implement for sbcl, cmucl * swank-sbcl.lisp (compiler-note-location and elsewhere): remove all trace of *compile-filename* (compile-*-for-emacs): shorten
* swank-sbcl.lisp (serve-request): more fiddling with serve-event descriptors * slime.el (slime-repl-return): slime-check-connected, otherwise pressing Return in an unconnected repl gets a bit weird
(create-swank-server): Accept an announce-function keyword argument.
(function-source-locations): Is replaces function-source-location-for-emacs. Make it at generic function. (function-source-location-for-emacs): Remove.
(open-listener): Don't make the socket non-blocking.
(handle-notification-condition): Don't ignore warnings without (compiler-note-location, brief-compiler-message-for-emacs, compiler-note-location): Handle null context. (compile-file-for-emacs): Bind *compile-filename* and load the fasl file only if it exists. (function-source-location): The name argument is now optional a should be a symbol. (find-function-locations): Return errors as a list of one error. (call-with-debugging-environment): Set *print-level* to 4 and *print-level* to 10. (Where both nil.) (source-location-for-emacs): Fall back to the location of the function if there is no block-debug-info. (safe-source-location-for-emacs): Catch error only; not all conditions. *compile-filename*: New variable.
(find-function-locations): Return a non-empty list of source locations.
* swank-sbcl.lisp (function-source-location-for-emacs): return a list of source locations (one per method) when the request is for a GF. This seems to make the elisp side popup a window to let the user select one. Cool.
(invoke-nth-restart): Use invoke-restart-interactively.
Use the new format for source locations and implement find-function-locations (just calls the old code).
* swank-sbcl.lisp (source-location-for-emacs): sb-debug::print-description-to-string takes only two args, not three. Now 'v' command works in sldb :-)
Sort out some of the problems with stale serve-event handlers (note that you also need a fix for sb-bsd-sockets from 0.8.6.x SBCL, if this is bothering you)
Support for output redirection to an Emacs buffer via a dedicated network stream. Can be enabled with *use-dedicated-output-stream*.
* swank-sbcl.lisp: delete big chunk of leftover commented-out code
(function-source-location): Use TRUENAME to resolve source file name (thanks Lawrence Mitchell).
Updated to use new debugger interfaces in swank-backend.lisp.
Updated to use new debugger interface in swank-backend.lisp. * swank-cmucl.lisp: Tidied up outline-minor-mode structure and added comments and docstrings.
* swank-sbcl.lisp (describe-symbol-for-emacs): Don't ask for (documentation SYM 'class), CLHS says there isn't any 'class documentation (and SBCL warns). * swank.lisp, swank-cmucl.lisp, swank-sbcl.lisp: Refactored interface through swank-backend.lisp for: swank-compile-file, swank-compile-string, describe-symbol-for-emacs (apropos), macroexpand-all, arglist-string. * swank-backend.lisp: New file defining the interface between swank.lisp and the swank-*.lisp implementation files.
Import gray stream symbols. (without-interrupts*): New function.
Modification for the new source-location stuff. I'm sure OpenMCL is now pretty broken.
(swank-macroexpand-all): Implemented.
(arglist-string): Pass *buffer-package* to find-symbol-designator.
(arglist-string): Don't intern the function name. Use find-symbol-designator instead.
Input redirection works now on the line level, like a tty. Output streams are now line buffered. We no longer compute the backtrace-length.
Implement stream-line-column.
Gray stream based input redirection from Emacs.
(serve-request): Bind a slime-toplevel catcher and handle slime-read-errors. (sldb-continue, throw-to-toplevel): Moved to swank.lisp.
Changed the connection setup to use a dynamic collision-free TCP port. The new protocol is this: Emacs calls (swank:start-server FILENAME) via the listener. FILENAME is /tmp/slime.${emacspid} Lisp starts a TCP server on a dynamic available port and writes the port number it gets to FILENAME. Emacs asynchronously polls for FILENAME's creation. When it exists, Emacs reads the port number, deletes the file, and makes the connection. The advantage is that you can run multiple Emacsen each with an inferior lisp, and the port numbers will never collide and Emacs will always connect to the right lisp. All backends are updated, but only CMUCL and SBCL are tested. Therefore, OpenMCL is almost certainly broken just now.
(accept-connection): Use a character stream to match swank.lisp.
(swank-compile-string): Include only one :SOURCE-PATH attribute in the plist, and replace the front element with a 0 (fixes a problem probably due to recent hacks to the elisp source-path lookups).
*** empty log message ***
Bind *slime-input* and *slime-io* to dummy values.
Move more stuff to swank.lisp.
Report style-warnings separately from notes (patch from Christopher Rhodes). Use REQUIRE to load sb-introspect instead of loading the source file (requires the sb-introspect library to be installed, which doesn't yet happen in the sourceforge-lagged SBCL anoncvs, but does in the real one).
Many fixes for the OpenMCL port: * swank.lisp (apropos-symbols): Change back to using the standard 2-argument APROPOS-LIST and check symbols explicitly when EXTERNAL-ONLY is true. Move loading of sys-dependent backend code into 'swank-loader'. * swank-sbcl.lisp: Moved declarations of *PREVIOUS-COMPILER-CONDITION* into 'swank.lisp' to kill warnings about undefined variables. * swank-openmcl.lisp (handle-compiler-warning): Use source position instead of function name for warning locations. (swank-compile-string): Compile into a temporary file instead of using COMPILE so finding warning positions works when using C-c C-c. (compute-backtrace): Don't display frames without a function. (apropos-list-for-emacs): Implement APROPOS. (who-calls): Implement WHO-CALLS. (completions): Implement COMPLETIONS. Use NIL instead of zero so FRESH-LINE does the right thing. * slime.el (slime-maybe-compile-swank): Removed function---compile the backend using 'swank-loader.lisp' instead. (slime-backend): Changed default backend to 'slime-loader'. (slime-lisp-binary-extension): Deleted as this is no longer needed. * swank-loader.lisp: New file.
Transplanted Helmut's serve-event server to replace the existing thread-using server. SLIME now has no dependency on SB-THREAD
The macro `with-trapping-compiler-notes' is now defined in the portable code, and expands to a call to the backend-defined `call-trapping-compiler-notes' with the body wrapped in a lambda. This is to avoid swank.lisp referring to macros in the backends -- it gets compiled first so it thinks they're functions.
Third portablizing iteration: more refactoring common bits pprint-eval set-package *compiler-notes* clear-compiler-notes *notes-database* clear-note-database features canonicalize-filename compiler-notes-for-file compiler-notes-for-emacs measure-time-interval call-with-compilation-hooks list-all-package-names apropos-symbols print-output-to-string print-description-to-string describe-symbol describe-function apply-macro-expander swank-macroexpand-1 swank-macroexpand disassemble-symbol
Second iteration refactoring common bits: server-port *swank-debug-p* start-server *emacs-io* *slime-output* read-next-form read-form *redirect-output* read-from-emacs send-to-emacs prin1-to-string-for-emacs defslimefun *buffer-package* from-string to-string guess-package-from-string eval-string interactive-eval defslimefun-unimplemented *swank-io-package*
First checkin on the way to rearranging the backends. Rename swank.lisp to swank-cmucl.lisp, then create new swank.lisp which loads an appropriate backend according to *features*. Next, identify common functions in the backends and move them into swank.lisp

The Foods to Eat for a Healthy Prostate
The cells around the prostate gland are likely to start multiplying after men reach the age of thirty. An enlarged prostate strangulates the urethra that creates problems during the urination process. The extent to which this affects your overall prostate health depends entirely upon you.
Changes in your diet can help in restricting the enlargement to a great degree. The prostate is actually controlled by hormones. In the prostate cells, the male hormone, testosterone is changed into a more powerful hormone called DHT (dihydrotestosterone). It is DHT that causes enlargement of the prostate. It is observed that certain foods enhance this conversion whereas others block it. If you change over to a diet that maintains testosterone levels to the minimum required and also helps in reducing the conversion of testosterone to DHT, you can effectively save your prostate from enlarging to dangerous levels and reduce the risk of prostate cancer.
Herbs for controlling prostate enlargement form an integral part of the diet recommendations for a healthy prostate. Saw palmetto is extracted from a palm-like tree and helps in preventing the conversion of testosterone to DHT. Natural foods like garlic and some other herbs and natural products have cancer-inhibiting properties.
The following foods contain a powerful antioxidant agent, lycopene. This phytochemical gives them their color and is very effective in restricting the enlargement of the prostate gland.
- Tomatoes
- Tomato-based products like puree and pastes - Ensure they are organic and do not contain additives.
- Guava
- Watermelon
- Pink grapefruit
The calcium in milk is instrumental in inhibiting the synthesis of a form of vitamin D that reduces the chances of malignancy in prostate growth. On the other hand, fructose, the sugar in fruit, stimulates production of that form of Vitamin D and inhibits tumors. Avoiding foods that contain calcium and a high intake of fruits can help manage the prostate gland effectively.
Sometimes it is a matter of simply enhancing or reducing the trace nutrient that is lacking in diet. The prostate gland uses zinc much more than any other part of the body. Zinc alters the metabolism of steroid hormones to restrict enlargement. It may surprise some of us, but pumpkin seeds are one of the richest sources of natural zinc. Barley, wheat, oysters, chicken and crab are some of the other foods rich in zinc.
The prostate will enlarge on its own with age. It is, however, in your own hands to control its growth so that it does not enlarge to an extent that it starts showing clinical symptoms. Studies conducted all around the world have established with a reasonable degree of certainty that diet plays an important part in the health of the prostate. It is essentially a matter of restricting red meat and dairy products and switching to a prominently plant-based diet. Once the enlargement is noticeable enough to necessitate prostate medication , you may have to deal with it through out your life.

With Brigham Young's field unplayable, Creighton would have considered just about any alternative that would allow the three-game series to be played.
"After last weekend,'' Creighton coach Ed Servais said, "not playing was not an option.''
Servais and his team left Thursday for St. George, Utah, where the Bluejays will square off against BYU on the campus of Dixie State College, which is about 260 miles south of the Cougars' campus in Provo.
The teams will play a doubleheader on Friday with a single game scheduled for Saturday.
Servais' desire to make every attempt to find a location to play the series is because his team has not played since opening the season two weeks ago with a sweep of Dallas Baptist. Creighton had to pull out of a tournament at Lamar University last week because of travel complications caused by the winter storm that hit Omaha.
The storm also caused the Bluejays to move practices indoors after being able to practice outdoors about 10 times before the Dallas Baptist series.
"You get spoiled when you can get outside around here this time of the year,'' Servais said. "That's part of the deal when you're a northern team, and most of the guys are used to the obstacles we face here.
"Still, this is almost going to be like rebooting the season. My concerns are whether we've lost some of the good vibes we had coming out of that first week of the season.''
Those good vibes included an offensive showing that produced 29 runs and 45 hits, solid defensive play and some clutch pitching.
BYU brings a 5-5 record into the series, with one of the Cougars wins coming over a Louisiana State team that was ranked No. 2. BYU is hitting .246, while its pitchers have compiled a 3.23 ERA.
One of the Bluejays' priorities in the series is sorting out its pitching. Creighton will start Nick Musec, Tommy Strunc and Matt Warren in the three games, and Servais hopes each will be able to pitch deeper into games than they did the opening weekend.
"I would be thrilled to get five innings out of each of those guys,'' Servais said. "We limited them to about 60 pitches that first week, and I'd like to see them get that up to 75 or 80, with 85 being the max. And I'd like them to be efficient with their pitches.
"If we can do that, we can really start defining the roles of the guys that will pitch behind them. I really like the upside of our bullpen guys, but we still have to sort out how we're going to use some of those guys right now.''

For every $1 Google spends lobbying, Apple spends 10¢May 10, 2012: 7:01 AM ET
Is that really why Apple has become, per Politico, a "punching bag" for lawmakers?
FORTUNE -- I might feel differently about Apple's D.C. Lobbying Effort Has Yet to Ripen, the 1,450-word piece posted on Politico Wednesday, if I hadn't just listened to Take the Money and Run for Office, This America Life's brilliant hour-long expose of how Washington, D.C., influence peddling really works.
By the end of the radio piece (available as a podcast), it's clear to listeners that companies like Google (GOOG), Microsoft (MSFT) and Hewlett-Packard (HPQ) -- which together spent $8.4 million lobbying in just the first three months of 2012 -- don't chase lawmakers down the halls of power trying to buy their influence.
It's the other way around. The senators and congressmen chase after the lobbyists. Sent to Washington to make laws (or prevent them from being made) our elected officials have been reduced to full-time money-grubbers, alternatively begging and strong-arming political action committees (PACs) to meet fundraising quotas that get steeper every year.
So I take with a grain of salt Politico's contention that Apple's (AAPL) "hostility" to the process "may have brought extra attention."
For example, the piece describes as a "stinging preliminary finding" the ruling two weeks ago by a judge at the International Trade Commission that Apple may have violated one of four Motorola (MOT) patents related to Wi-Fi in the iPad and iPhone. Anyone following the iPhone patent wars knows that there are dozens of issues like that one before the ITC, and that Apple has won more than its share.
And while I have no doubt that both parties eye with lust Apple's $110 billion war chest of cash and marketable securities, the fact that it's not being spent on them is not the reason the company has become, in Politico's terms, "a punching bag for lawmakers who understand the power of using a marquee name to reinforce their arguments about American companies dodging taxes, hiring overseas and mistreating foreign workers."
Case in point: The shot Sen. Tom Coburn took at Apple on NBC's Morning Joe last week, declaring himself "livid" about the New York Times' report about the lengths to which Apple (like every other major American high-tech firm) goes to avoid paying taxes.
Coburn talks big about "closing loopholes," but he's all in favor of the so-called "repatriation holiday" that would allow Apple to bring home billions of dollars of overseas profits without paying the current 35% federal tax on foreign earnings. (See "Livid" about tax loopholes.)
If he thinks some of those iPhone profits are going to end up in his reelection fund, he's sadly mistaken.
As one source familiar with Apple's D.C. operations told Politico, "They don't have a massive table of consultants and law firms. It is more low key, but it is also respectful." The piece details several instances in which Apple quietly dropped apps or changed developer policies after they drew Washington's attention.
And as GigaOm's Erica Ogg points out, Steve Jobs was plenty savvy about how to wield influence in the nation's capital:
"He just went straight to the top. Sending the president [an iPad 2] before it was available to the public is a pretty decent way of making friends."

look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Had this on tap Christmas eve at Three Floyds.
Served in an imperial pint.
A: Poured a crystal clear, soft orange color, with ever the slightest chill haze, and about a 1.5 finger head.
S: Up front, I got some melted orange popsicle, FFF signature hop profile, along with a really nice hop-yeast combo/duo.
T: I tasted a good bit of booze actually an this totally took me aback. However, this was of the candy-coated variety that Floyds does so well. Lots of Germanic (Saaz?) hops along with a bitter finish.
M: Like I said, this was boozier than I was expecting, or should I just say that that was just the breath of alcohol warming poking through? No matter. Bubbly as hell and lots of lacing.
O: I chugged this one pretty quick, so thumbs up in my book!

3.63/5 rDev +5.5%
look: 4 | smell: 3.5 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4.5 | overall: 3.5
On-tap at 3 Floyds. Served in a stein.
A - White foam settles to a thick collar, partial cap, and bit of lacing. Transparent golden straw body.
S - Cereal grains, bready malts, spicy noble hops, and some fruity notes as well. It's got that lager 'twang' to it.
T - The taste is again heavy on the bready malts, with fruity accents and some honey malt sweetness. Fairly low hop flavor and bitterness.
M - Pleasant active carbonation, medium-light body, creamy texture, and a dry, crisp, finish.
D - Pretty much what you'd expect from this style, but not really much else to say here. If you're in a German mood, or at FFF with a colleague who only drinks lager, this is a solid choice. However, there are about 10 other beers I'd pick before this one.

3.58/5 rDev +4.1%
look: 4 | smell: 3 | taste: 3.5 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Served in a stein.
A - Pale, straw yellow with a nice one finger head. As you'd expect for the style, it appears a bit thin
S - Light straw and noble hops with a slight bready malt
T - Sweet, bready malt up front with a nice light noble hop kick in the middle. The finish is straw and light noble hops. The strong hops add a nice twist to make this a good beer in what can be an otherwise bland style
MF - Medium carbonation that gives a smooth and surprisingly full mouthfeel. I did not expect this to be as a smooth as this one was. A pleasant surprise
O - Leave it to FFF to put a nice twist on an otherwise normal style. Has a nice balance between sweet, bready malt and a slight hoppy kick.

Enjoyed at the brewery.
A: single finger thick head with excellent retention on clear golden body. Scattered lacing.
S: full pale malts, sweet honey, light grains. As good as can be expected for te style.
T: pale and bready malts, noble pils bitterness, light honey sweetness and herbal hop notes late in the finish.
M: light to medium body and moderate to high carbonation.
Overall: flavorful and complex for the style certainly. Not really a genre I would want to have regularly but still not a bad brew.

On tap at FFF.
Served in a stein.
dry, crisp, and refreshing. Mildly bitter. Dry grainy malt has some biscuity notes underneath a pretty large bready character.
Light, easy-drinking body with plenty of carbonation.
There's not a whole lot going on here, but I can understand the style is not meant to overwhelm me-- in all honesty, this beer is allright. I prefer 2Bros Dortmunder to this one, though I'm happy to sip this here.
