Greg Lanctot
Conceived in a Maserati south of the border. Born in a donut shop at gun point. Grew strong from the nipple of a tap handle and raised less than two miles from Almaden Quicksilver County Park, is your fearless leader.
Becoming "El Presidente" of Quicksilver Running Club was always a childhood dream of Greg's. He knew that attending nearby Castilllero Middle School and Bellarmine College Prep would provide him with all the knowledge of mining, snake wrangling, party planning, and trail mastery he needed as foundation to be the next great leader of Quicksilver.
Greg has a degree in Business Information Systems from the University of San Francisco. After a fun ride as a sales executive in the telecom and dot-com industries, Lanctot decided to move on and go into the business of kids.
"Coach Greg" as he is known in the community, has worked with over 1,000 youth in one-on-one, small group, team sports, and large camp settings. He has additionally been the Varsity Head Boys Golf Coach at Galileo Academy of Science and Technology in San Francisco and the Varsity Boys Baseball Pitching Coach at Westmont High School in Campbell.
He Co-founded the San Francisco "Bay View – Hunter's Point Jr. Giants Program" (boys and girls 5- 18 years old) and later recognized for his efforts as the nominating "Mentor of the Year" by the San Francisco Giants Community Fund in 2004.
From 2002 - 2007, Coach Greg was actively involved with San Francisco Mayor Gavin Newsom's "March Gladness" and "SF Family &Youth Connect" programs.
In 2007, Lanctot Co-founded FUZE Fit For a Kid! in Los Gatos. This was the first medically supervised multidisciplinary approach to youth development and management of lifestyles. Combined with Dr. Kris von Almen's Trim Kids Program and a state-of-the-art interactive exergaming facility, a vision became reality.
Today, he spends most time with overweight, autistic, and other social disorder clients. Greg also coaches and mentors many different children & teenagers, obese to athletic, as well as their respective families of all backgrounds, and personal needs throughout Santa Clara County and the bay area.
Marc Klemencic
Vice President
Marc Klemencic, PE, is a retired Civil Engineer turned ultra-runner and Youth Coach. An avid distance runner for over 30 years, he finally took on the great adventures found beyond marathons after joining the Quicksilver Running Club (QRC). The ultra-nurturing culture of QRC, his love of running on trails (especially Quicksilver Park), and the competitive opportunities of the PAUSATF Grand Prix Series has motivated him to run in about 20 ultras including finishing three 100 mile runs. He then worked with the supportive QRC Board to form a Youth Running Team (YRT) in 2014. After 2 years, the YRT has exposed over 100 youth to trail running, training, and competing in cross country races. He has also coached Cross Country and Track & Field at the middle school level and is now the head coach for Leland High School Cross Country and Track & Field. He is a USATF Level 1 Certified Coach and a NFHS Certified Coach.

I joined the informal Quicksilver Running Club in 2004 which happened to be my first year running ultras. It's no coincidence; I had met and trained with teammate, Kristina Irvin who introduced me to long distance trail running and several other Quicksilver members. Their stories, shared over the course of 2, 3, 6 hour runs inspired and motivated me to take the leap and sign up for my first 50K race. About two years after having my son I committed to running on the Quicksilver Racing Team. Being part of the team has given my training and racing more purpose. It is so much fun to participate in races where there will be 5, 10, 20 other teammates running and giving one another big smiles and encouragement along the trail.
Loren Lewis
Co-Captain Ultra Running Team
I have a graduate degree in politics, which makes me uniquely qualified to formulate rules that are easy to follow but seldom apply to myself. I work in high tech so I can afford to live here. In my first year of ultra racing, I ran the Toshi Double -- proof that will wander around outdoors for several hours with minimal prompting. I have three catsand like to go on vacation.

Sean McPherson
Member at Large
A native Californian, Sean moved to San Jose a few years ago after spending two years on the disappointingly flat and overly paved east coast. Before that Sean lived in southern California where he discovered his love of the trails while running with the SoCal Coyotes. In the past year Sean has been trying to get more involved with the Quicksilver Run Club, and the local trail running scene. Sean considers himself an expert of the social media scene; with the ability to post annoying Facebook updates about his daily running adventures, and trash talk with the best of them on Strava. In 2014, Sean completed his first 100 miler, the Angeles Crest 100, and in 2015 is looking to conquer the world, win the Boston marathon, or simply just steal a few of John Burton 's Strava Course Records.

The most appropriate translation to make sense would probably be 有道理, which literally means has sense or reason. For example: 你说的有道理 What you said is reasonable / What you said makes sense. The phrase 说不通 would probably work, but it is not used frequently in Mainland China Mandrian(普通话) as 有道理 for the same context, if at all. As for 符合逻辑, the phrase ...
I think it is a terribly bad idea learning Mandarin by trying to map grammar from Western languages onto it. There is no such thing as countable nouns in Chinese, precisely because nouns do not have plurals. Conversely, you can make any noun "countable" by adding a classifier to it: 你要一杯咖啡吗?
他很酷 (tā hěn kù) means "He is cool". This is a transliteration of "cool" using the sounds found in the Chinese language. I'm sure there are other ways to say it, but that is the most direct that I know of. 他很帅 (tā hěn shuài) is closer to "He is handsome". This could also be used to say someone is "cool-looking", I believe. 棒 (bàng) means great, awesome, ...

灯笼 means lantern in the general sense, that is, a portable lighting device or mounted light fixture used to illuminate broad areas. The hot air balloon you described is 'sky lantern', which is called 天灯 (sky lantern) or 孔明灯 (Kongming Lantern) in Chinese.
欲 -- willing, want 速 -- speedy, quick 则 -- then, but 不 -- not, negative 达 -- arrive, done If you want to finish it quicker, then you probably can't get it done (correctly).
A few that are used the most in my surroundings: 好吧 (in a helpless tone) = Fine. 随便 = whatever. 都行 = whatever. 无所谓 = I don't care. 你说[X]就[X]吧 = If you say so.
It's 补丁. Like the English word "patch", this word can also mean "a piece of cloth used to cover holes in clothes when they get worn".
You can translate 'moral' as 寓意 and thus 'have a moral' as '有寓意' (故事要有寓意). Alternatively, you could say 故事要有教育意义 (the story has to be educational).

You can use '表舅', because he is your mother's '表哥'. Basically I think there are three prefixes that you can add to relationship words: '亲' (directly/closely related, which is usually omitted), '堂', '表'. All your ancestors, siblings (that share at least father or mother with you), and descendant are '亲'. '堂' only refers to your father's brothers' children. ...
Well, avoid the exclamation mark. 請保持安靜! Please keep quiet! 安靜! Quiet! 小聲點! Lower your voice! 請小聲點! Please lower your voice!

Yes, people use 'kuài' in conversation, as in 'yī qiān duō kuài' (over 1,000 NT$). You can also add 'qián' to make it clear you're talking about amounts of money: 'wŭ shí kuài qián' (50 NT$). You might want to use '(xīn) tái bì' when changing money, as in 'qĭng gĕi wŏ tái bì' (please give me Taiwan dollars). I don't know what was used in previous periods,...
I can't recall any Chinese expressions used in the same way as calling out with 'Surprise!' in English. I guess the reason might be that Chinese Culture doesn't make Chinese people as playful as English Culture making its people. We say something different from 'surprise!' in similar cases: I bring a gift to a friend, before showing him/her the gift, I ...
程序员 is widely used in China as "programmer"。
编程家 seems weird. You can say: 编程人员 程序员 程序猿 (for male) 程序媛 (for female) 码农 (junior programmer without future, often used for self-mockery) 挨踢(IT)民工 (similar to 码农)
In the scenario that a third party witnessed an insult of others two, or someone try to lighthearted fight back a insult, maybe "雷死了"(lei2 si3 le) in Chinese can fit in. "雷" means Thunder. "雷死了" means someone think it's somewhat funny unbelievable and be shocked. A longer version is "雷得外焦里嫩" (Lei2 De Wai4 Jiao1 Li3 Nen4), which means someone got attached ...
It's usually called as 脚气 in spoken language, so you can say: 有治脚气的药吗? AFAIK, 达克宁 is a famous brand of 脚气霜, but I'm not sure whether it suits your case or not. So it's better to make a research before using it.
Here is a full translation of your conversation. A: 我从没去过中国。 B: 你对中国文化有什么看法 A: 正如我说过的,我从没去过中国。 As you can see, "like I said" is "正如我说过的" in Chinese. A word-to-word translation would be "like" ⟶ "正如/就如/就像" I ⟶ "我" "said" ⟶ "说过的".
Although not a direct translation, "沒關係/没关系" or "沒問題/没问题" can also sometimes mean "don't worry" depending on context. 沒關係/没关系 - It doesn't matter (note: not suitable for the 2nd example) 沒問題/没问题 - No problems (ok for both examples)
In my experience, usually we say: 我的電腦當機了。 (My computer crashed.) or 我的電腦壞掉了。 (My computer is broken.) or 我的電腦不能用了。 (My computer can't be used anymore.) and I think people can understand when you just simply translate it 我的電腦死了。 (My computer died.) From Taiwan, but only from my experiences...
As many have said the "proper" way to refer to the currency of Taiwan is 新台币 (Xīn tái bì) which is literally broken down to 新 (Xīn) = New and 台币 (tái bì) = Taiwan Dollars Old Taiwan dollars are referred to as 舊臺幣* (旧台币) (jiù tái bì) However you would only refer to them by these proper names when dealing with multiple currencies. When referring to ...
Actually 金 and 柑 are both pronounced gam1 in Cantonese, according to Rita Mei-Wah Choy's 'Read and Write Chinese'. While it may be better to refer to Shantou as Chaozhou (潮州), I think CA55CE37 is onto something here. Indeed, in chaozhouhua 大橘/桔 (orange) and 大吉 (great luck) are apparently near homophones. A Thai source I have mentions this as well and ...
The general idea for this idiom is that there's no guarantee for (whatever matter you are referring to) to come to fruition yet, likely whatever it was hasn't even been started. No way. Another way of saying this in Chinese is "(事情)还没有眉目" The character 八 (eight) is written with 2 strokes, the first one is 撇 (to the left), and the second one is 捺 (to the ...
Chinese doesn't distinguish countable or uncountable. We have unit word in front of almost every noun.
The other answers are absolutely correct – it's not smart to talk about countable and uncountable nouns in Chinese. However, like many languages, Chinese does have words that express abstract concepts or that are somehow inherently plural. How are these dealt with in a system where everything must be counted/measured? Here's how one grammar explains it. ...
黑 is the verb you are looking for. 被黑了 is the common phrase form of "been hacked". If you feel 黑 is too ambiguous you can add an object behind it to turn it into a VO (verb object) phrase: 黑电脑, etc. Alternatively Oxford suggests: 5 COMPUTING, COLLOQUIAL 窃取 to hack secret data from computers 从计算机里窃取机密资料 Personally I would just go with ...
上调 is the most common equivalent. In your description you are using the wrong character (凋, the radical is different).

Phrogram was a commercial programming language designed for beginning and intermediate programmers of all ages. Its predecessor, Kids Programming Language (KPL) was first released in August 2005 and its distribution was discontinued in May 2008.[1] Phrogram was first released in October 2006 as v2.0; its current version, v2.5, was released in September 2008. As of July 15, 2015, Phrogsoft announced on their official website to cease the sale and distribution of its software.
Technical overview[edit]
Phrogram comprises a programming language and integrated development environment, or IDE, bearing some similarities to Visual Basic. The language supports a number of scalar and complex data types, including structures, and provides limited support of objects (excluding inheritance and polymorphism). It features two "modes" - one for two-dimensional graphics and one for three-dimensional; these modes cannot be used at the same time.
Phrogram targets the Microsoft .NET Framework and provides many runtime functions and methods for interacting with that platform. Because of this, Phrogram as of 2010[update] operates only on the Microsoft Windows series of operating systems that support the .NET Framework.
A Phrogram program consists of a collection of nested code blocks. On the highest level is a Program block, and within this Method blocks and Function blocks are defined. Functions and Methods are both chunks of reusable code, available in the Program scope; Functions return values, while Methods may not. Data structures are defined within the Program scope. Variables must be declared and typed at the time of declaration.
As of 2010[update] the latest version of Phrogram, v2.5 (released September 2008), runs on Windows Vista and Windows 7 (both 32 and 64 bit editions of each), as well as on Windows XP and Windows 2000. Phrogram Express, the lower-priced version, does not include the Class Library Browser or the ability to export code to a free-standing executable package (capable of running outside the Phrogram IDE). Phrogram Academic, the full-featured version available for educators and students, has started to attract some interest as a way of teaching programming[citation needed] but is not usable to teach programming on operating systems other than Windows or to teach the concept of portable programming.
Programming, Hello World! and Syntax[edit]
Program Hello_World Method Main() ConsoleWriteLine("Hello, World!") End Method End Program
Which has since been updated to:
Program Hello_World Method Main() Print("Hello, World!") End Method End Program
The syntax clearly explains what its purpose is, such as "End Program", or "Main()." This is a reason why many people go for Phrogram as a starting language.
Jonah Stagner started development on KPL when he wanted to teach his children how to program. He discovered that the tools and technologies were not at all as beginner-friendly as they needed to be, or used to be. The current nucleus of the Phrogram team - Walt Morrison, Andy Dunn and David Witus - continue to work on developing the product (including extensions through add-in libraries) as a commercial business venture.
Phrogram has the stated goal[citation needed] of delivering a simple yet powerful set of tools that makes learning to program easy and fun. Phrogram (like KPL) captures a novice's interest by the ease with which one can write attractive multi-media programs with eye-catching graphics, music, sound effects, and animations.[citation needed]
Phrogram has the secondary goal[citation needed] of providing a modern language with some features of advanced languages such as C++, Java, Visual Basic and C#, and Visual Basic syntax, to make the transition into those languages as easy as possible. Phrogram supports object-oriented programming (OOP) and allows for definition of classes and their associated properties and methods, which provides beginning programmers with an introduction to OOP programming.
To accomplish these goals, Phrogram's developers built it to run on .NET Framework 2.0 (which Microsoft released in November 2005). Phrogram intends to be fully compatible with other languages that use the .NET Framework, so that runtime libraries can be shared in either direction.
Other information[edit]
Phrogram is commercial software with a 30-day trial period. Phrogram's user interface is available in several different languages by replacing the default xml file with a localized file, available in the downloads area of the Phrogram site.
Introductory programming courses at primary and secondary schools have used Phrogram, as have universities such as Ohio State University and the University of Michigan in the US, and the Waikato Institute of Technology and Unitec Institute of Technology, in New Zealand.

Arditti Quartet
The Arditti Quartet is a string quartet founded in 1974 and led by the British violinist Irvine Arditti. The quartet is globally recognized promoter of contemporary classical music [1] and has a reputation for having a very wide repertoire. They first became known taking into their repertoire technically challenging pieces. Over the years, there have been personnel changes but Irvine Arditti is still at the helm, leading the group. The repertoire of the group is mostly music from the last 50 years with a strong emphasis on living composers. Their aim from the beginning has been to collaborate with composers during the rehearsal process. However, unlike some other groups, it is loyal to music of a classical vein and avoids cross-genre music. The Quartet has performed in major concert halls and cultural festivals all over the world and has the longest discography of any group of its type. In 1999, it won the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize for lifetime achievement, being the first and only group to date to receive this award.
The Arditti Quartet is dedicated to 20th century and contemporary works, a niche in chamber music where classical masters dominate.[2] While they only play a handful of works from before the 20th century, they require that their repertoire maintains the tradition that has been established in Europe for several centuries. They do not work with composers from fields such as jazz, pop or crossover.[3] They concentrate on those from the last fifty years, along with very new music, mostly repertoire specially written for the ensemble to premiere.[4][5] The quartet is considered the authentic interpreters for many late 20th century composers,[6] with a reputation for mastering the most difficult and complex compositions.[3][7] They rarely improvise as their focus is on working with composers.[7] These composers range from those active in the early 20th century to the present and include Hans Abrahamsen, Thomas Adès,[3] Luciano Berio, John Cage[6][9], Elliott Carter, Franco Donatoni, Pascal Dusapin, Henri Dutilleux, Brian Ferneyhough, Morton Feldman, György Kurtag, Helmut Lachenmann, György Ligeti, Witold Lutoslawski, Wolfgang Rihm, Giacinto Scelsi, [10] and Iannis Xenakis. [8] [9] They have on occasion perform minimalist pieces such as Mishima by Philip Glass and the 1st quartet of Gavin Bryars which was written for them. Also works involving electronics are in their repertoire. York Holler's Antiphon, Kaaija Saariaho's Nymphea and Roger Reynolds Ariadnes Thread. [7] In their first concert they played new compositions only, but already in their second year, they decided that their repertoire needed to include works of the Second Viennese School and Bartok came soon after. Works from earlier in the 20th century as perspective followed and in the '80's they incorporated Beethoven's Grosse Fuge. They have played Ligeti's Second Quartet and Xenakis 'Tetras' hundreds of times.[3][7]
The focus on new music is to have the ability to collaborate with the composer in the interpretation of the piece, something the group considers very important, both in how to play and the fact that they consider their work as a kind of service to composers, especially younger and the lesser-known.[3][4] Composers often make minor adjustments to their compositions after working with the quartet.[7] Norwegian composer Sven Lyder Kahrs calls the group the "Rolls-Royce" of quartets, in part because he does not have to explain how to play his music to them. They just know.[6]
In the past they have been compared to the Kronos Quartet but unlike them are not interested in crossover audiences or cross-genre pieces, but rather stick with the classical quartet form.[6] There are very few pieces common to both groups.[7]
The Quartet was founded in 1974 by Irvine Arditti with Levine Andrade, Lennox Mackenzie and John Senter while all were students at the Royal Academy of Music.[5][6] They modeled themselves on the La Salle Quartet of the United States, focused at first on the LaSalle repertoire, with the aim of supporting composers, playing the pieces as they want them played.[6][7] Very soon the size of their repertoire went way beyond what the LaSalle achieved or in fact any other group in the history of classical music. [10]
Arditti was born in London in 1953, and began his studies in violin and composition at the Royal Academy at the age of sixteen.[4] Arditti won prizes for violin and composition,but decided he was a better violinist and stopped composing.[7] The focus of the quartet on new music is due to Arditti's interest in it, which began with composing in his childhood and hearing music by Stockhausen, Ligeti and others of the avant garde of the 1960s.[3] It was later that Ardittí became aware of the work of the LaSalle Quartet. In his last year at the Royal Academy of Music the Quartet was founded, and it continued during the time he was in the London Symphony Orchestra from 1976-1980, after which he left the Orchestra in order to dedicate himself full time to the quartet.[4]
The Quartet´s first concert was in September 1974,[4] with the works of Krzysztof Penderecki, who was at the Royal Academy to receive an honorary degree. This gave the group a chance to collaborate with the composer, something they continue to do with composers ever since.[3][9] The quartet was named after Arditti because they needed a name in 24 hours, so they used his with the idea that it would be temporary, but the name stuck.[4]
In their early years, before the end of the '70's, the ensemble performed and recorded all the quartets of Hans Werner Henze and Gyorgy Ligeti. They also began performing live on BBC.[3] They commissioned their first piece in 1977, Jonathan Harvey's String Quartet No. 1.[7]
The group continued to have success touring and recording in Europe but it was not until the success of Kronos Quartet that the ensemble came to the attention of US and Canadian audiences, with a tour in the late 1980s.[9]
Over more than four decades of its existence, the only founder member that remains is its leader Irvine Arditti.[6][7][9]
For the 40th anniversary of the quartet in 2014, one of the celebrations in London included a three-concert-in-one-day event, with works by fifteen different composers with whom their leader Arditti has been particularly closely associated, as well as the world premier or several new works.[11]
The Quartet has a world-wide reputation as a leader for its interpretation of 20th century and contemporary new music,[7][12] receiving extensive critical praise.[6] They have been noted for their "...astonishing virtuosity and their willingness to extend the boundaries of what can be expected of a string quartet..."[8] However, they have also been criticized as being severe, dry and intellectual[6] with a "kind of high-flown rhetoric that almost seemed designed to show that "new music" can live in a pretentiously self-absorbed world."[13]
Awards include the Deutsche Shallplatten Preis on various occasions, the Gramophone Award for best recording of contemporary music in 1999 and 2002, the Coup de Coeur Prize and Grand Prix from the Academie Charles Cros in 2004 and the Ernst von Siemens Music Prize for lifetime achievement in 1999. They are the first and only group to date to receive the Siemen Foundation prize.[3][6][7]
Concerts and recordings[edit]
The Quartet is highly active throughout the year, mostly with performing and recording and premiering between twenty and fifty new works each year, taking time off only during the summer and Christmas vacations.[7] They have performed hundreds of new works and commissions,[1] with a discography of over 200 CDs on over twenty labels,[10] by far the longest contemporary discography of any string quartet.[9] A complete archive of the quartet's work is located at the Sacher Foundation in Basel, Switzerland.[10]
Most of their performances are in concert halls[6] and festivals[3] within Europe, but they are known all over the world[6]and have performed extensively in the US, Canada, Korea, South America, Japan and Mexico at the Festival Internacional Cervantino.[14][15] One special piece which Arditti himself arranged the commission involved not playing in a concert hall. This was Stockhausen's Helicopter quartet, which required each member to perform his part in his own helicopter, and be relayed to the ground electronically where the audience was listening in a concert hall.[6]

Other activities[edit]
Members of the group regularly conduct master classes in Europe, the United States and Canada, for performers and composers, generally in a guest capacity.[3][7] From 1982 to 1996, they worked with young composers at the Darmstadt International Summer Courses for New Music.[3][6][7] They also encourage younger quartets interested in new music.[3]
In 2013, they collaborated with the composer Brian Ferneyhough on a documentary called Climbing a Mountain which is about how the group prepares for the presentation of new pieces. It was created particularly for composers and music students to help them understand the rehearsal process.[12]

Integration in Dutch planning of motorways: From "line" towards "area-oriented" approaches
In Dutch motorway planning we can observe a gradual transformation from traditional line-oriented planning towards what are known as area-oriented approaches. Area-oriented planning – apparent in various gradations from landscaping, context-sensitive design, area-oriented approaches to integrated area-development – is expected to better incorporate the complex array of needs, demands and opportunities of the area surrounding newly planned road infrastructure. The integration of infrastructure and other spatial policy sectors such as housing, business, water, nature and recreation is expected to lead to better, more sustainable road infrastructure development. This paper explores the shift from line-oriented planning towards area-oriented planning. We conducted a historical analysis of policy developments in Dutch road infrastructure planning and have conceptualized area-oriented approaches in road infrastructure planning. Furthermore, the developments observed in the Netherlands are placed in an international perspective, through an overview of developments and practices in several Western countries.

How to snag yourself a pimp: 5 easy steps to getting started in the prostitution industry
When I was younger, my mother always used to tell me that malls were a dangerous place. "I know you think you know everything," she'd said, "but there are drug dealers and pimps who hang around malls, and they are there looking for young girls like you. Didn't you hear that story on the news about that girl who got picked up at a mall, kidnapped to a foreign country, brainwashed and sold into white slavery?"
Just recently, I've had a couple interesting experiences at the mall that made me realize mom may not have been totally off her rocker after all. So, because I'm sure there must be at least one person out there who is looking for someone to take a portion of her earnings (and I'm not talking about the government here, although the difference between the government and having a pimp – not much), here are five simple steps to getting yourself a pimp:
1. Go to the mall alone.
It has been said that there are safety in numbers. Pimps know this, which is why it is very important to shop at the mall alone, because if they see you with fifty of your girlfriends, they figure at least one of you will be smart enough to say no to a date invitation from a 35 year old russian man.
2. Don't TRY to look like a special services performer.
You'd think this would be counterintuitive, but it's not. The pimps are looking to diversify their portfolios—they're tired of picking up the same old strung-out crackwhores from your city's downtown street corners. Have you been to a local high school lately? Girls that look like streetwalkers are a dime a dozen these days. You need be more than that. (But not too much more, otherwise you'll look like you're beyond prostitution.)
3. Identify your pimp.
Back in the day, pimps were easy to spot. Like this:
Unfortunately, the fact that they were so damn pimp ended up being the pimp's fashion demise.
All it took was one asshole's suggestion at the Annual Halloween Costume Inventor's Convention to ruin everything for your everyday hardworking neighborhood pimp. Eleven months later, Halloween superstores everywhere started selling cheap knockoffs of their signature outfits and state fairs started giving away their hats as prizes for shooting the right rubber ducky out of the water.
If you see some dude wearing this at the mall and it's nowhere near Halloween, he isn't your pimp. He's probably a mental patient escapee. Do not approach.
Luckily for us, the sleezeballs of society never truly blend in with the masses:
(Just in case you doubt it, the recession has been hard on pimps too. This one can't even afford pants anymore.)
These days, most pimps have chosen to evolve. But Chanel!, you say, How will ever I spot my pimp? Never fear. You might be able to take a pimp out of his pimp suit, but you can not take the pimp out of the man.
You'll know when you see him. He'll be at least 10, maybe 20 years older than you. The two of you will exchange glances. He'll discreetly follow you through the mall, hoping to corner you. When he approaches you, he'll open not with a compliment (as most creepy guys who follow you in malls do), but with a nonchalant, "Hey, how are you? I'm Andrew. Are you waiting for someone?"
4. Don't act like you want it.
The key here is playing hard to get. Just like every other man on the planet, pimps like it when they have to work to get you. Sure, they've got a couple cracked out blonds working the street corners for them, but what they're really interested in finding are sweet, naive high school girls1 who will shyly turn them down.
Go somewhere in the mall where you wouldn't expect pimps to be and you'll find them there. Your mall's bookstore, for example, is the perfect place. Cracked out blondes don't read, but sweet, naive, even just passably intelligent girls do. You'll know it right away when you've found your pimp and caught his eye, but it is important—nay, VITAL—that you pretend like you're not interested.
Listen to your iPod while you're browsing books. The first time he waves or smiles, smile quickly and turn back to your book or magazine. After a couple minutes, move on to a different section of the bookstore. Your pimp will probably migrate to the coffee shop in the bookstore if he hasn't already, because pimps aren't really interested in books. He'll choose a spot in the coffee shop where he can just barely keep an eye on you while you're browsing. You may look around to spot him, and when you do, don't smile this time. He will, but you must look mildly irritated. Keep moving.
5. Wait for him to come to you
Eventually, your pimp will be ready to close the deal. You'll know when he's ready because he'll finish up his coffee (or cigarette, if the two of you are outside) and start looking like he means business. Look fascinated with whatever you're doing—flipping through songs on your iPod, reading your magazine, texting, etc. He will interrupt you regardless of what's taking your attention. Act like you didn't see this coming.
First, he will ask you how you're doing (we already covered this in point #3: how to identify your pimp). Then he will introduce himself and offer you a handshake. He'll ask you out for something – coffee, drinks, whatever. You must turn the offer down. He'll ask you for your number. Tell him you don't give it out (this shows your loyalty, which will be important in the future when he becomes your pimp and other pimps try to recruit you away from him). He'll then offer you his. You may take this if you want; this step is entirely optional. Finally, to seal the deal, he'll ask you what you're doing here, and if he can offer you a ride anywhere. That's your foot in the door.
Congratulations! You've officially snagged yourself a pimp.

Marvel Assembles an Official Title for Third "Avengers" Movie
Comic Books, Film
[Editor's note: Each Sunday, Robot 6 contributors discuss the best in comics from the last seven days — from news and announcements to a great comic that came out to something cool creators or fans have done.]
It's intriguing to see writer Curt Pires reach the third leg of his music trilogy, Pop (the first two legs were LP and Theremin). When I interviewed Pires about LP nearly two years ago, it was a project he self-published. So I was immensely pleased to see that the recognition of Pires' talent had grown since that first leg to the point Dark Horse is publishing this new four-issue limited series.
Once and a while a comic drops in my inbox that carries some distinct element that snags my interest. LP, by writer Curt Pires and artist Ramon Villalobos, focuses on the life of a musician named F and the LP he possesses, which has unique qualities — far more unique than your average round piece of vinyl. The comic, which Pires is self-distributing, debuts Sept. 26 (it received a pre-release endorsement from guest Ed Brisson in this week's What Are You Reading?"). In anticipation of its release, Pires took some time to answer my questions regarding his new collaboration with Villalobos — as well as to give me a chance to discuss music a smidge (something I always love to do).
Tim O'Shea: LP centers on a vinyl record (aka LP) — could this story have ever worked for you if it had centered around a CD or an MP3 player?
Curt Pires: I definitely think this story only works on vinyl. There's something romantic about vinyl — something tactile. Something that you don't really get with CDs or MP3s. I think a lot of my thoughts as towards this are sort of folded into the story. Sometimes intentionally — other times maybe not so much.
Did you have the story already written when you teamed with Ramon Villalobos, or did you construct the story with his art style in mind?
I had the full script written by the time Ramon had hoped on board to draw the book. I was definitely looking for someone with a bit more of European clean line style to draw this book. I'm a huge fan of this style of art. So Ramon's sort of Darrow/Grampa/Quitely-influenced style was perfect for this book.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading? Our guest this week is writer and letterer Ed Brisson, whose comic Comeback with artist Michael Walsh arrives in November. He's also the writer of Murder Book and Black River.

I am creating an activity table with many types of activities. Let's say activities of type "jogging" will have elements a, b, and c while activities of "football" will have elements a, d, and e. Can I create a table in which the row elements for each column depend on that column's type? I have considered creating one table for each activity type or creating a single table with rows for every activity's options, but there will be many activity types so it seems like a waste to use so many tables or leave so many rows blank.
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
You cannot create such a table, it is not in the nature of databases to allow for "varargs". That is the reason we have relations in databases to model this type of stuff.
For an evil quickhack you could store the variable number of arguments in one column in a specific format and parse this again. Something like "a:foo|e:bar|f:qux". Don't do this, it will get out of hand in about 1 day.
I second James' proposal: redesign your tables. It should then look something like this.
Table: Activities id|activity 0|jogging 1|football 2|... Table: ElementsOfActivities id|activity_id|element 0|0|a 1|0|b 2|0|c 3|1|a 4|1|d 5|1|e
Look up "normalization" (for example http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_normalization)
I assume in the subject you mean column instead of row because the whole concept of a table is around the fact that is has a variable number of rows. The same goes for your statement "leave so many rows blank" - again I assume you are talking about columns.
What you are describing is essentially an (anti) pattern called "entity attribute value". Search for this and you'll find a lot of hits describing how to do it and why not to do it.
In Postgres things are somewhat easier. It has a contrib module called "hstore" which is essentially what you are looking for. "Multiple columns inside a single column".
The biggest drawback with the hstore module is that you lose type safety. You can only put character data into a hstore column. So you cannot say "the attribute *price" is numeric, the attribute name is a character value".
If you can live with that restriction, hstore is probably what you are looking for in Postgres
It's complicated. The short answer is, "No." You should ask yourself what you're trying to report on, and try to figure out a different schema for tracking your data.
If you really want to implement a variable-column-count table, you can do something close.
Define the activity types, and the elements you'll track on each one, and a junction table to resolve the many-to-many relationship. These tables will be mostly static. Then you have an Activity table and an ActivityAttribute table.
Create an Activity table, and then have an Activity Type, Activity Element, Activity Type-Elements and Activity Attribute tables.
Types would be "jogging", "football".
Elements would be "a", "b", "c", "d"...
Type-Elements would have rows that look like "jogging:a", "jogging:b", "jogging:c", "football:a", "football:d"
Attributes would have the actual data: "18236:a:'0:10:24'", "18237:d:'356 yards'"
Tables aren't a limited resource (in reasonable practice) so don't obsess about creating lots of them "wasting" them. Similarly in most modern databases, null columns don't take up space (in postgresql, beyond a minimal "null bitmask" overhead) so they aren't a particularly precious resource either.
It probably makes sense to have a table to represent distinct sets of attributes that can be defined together (this is essentially one of the general rules of database normalisation). If you want to deal with "activities" in a generic way, you may want to have common attributes in a shared table, rather like a base class in OOP... or you may not.
For example you could have:
and then create a view to combine these together when desired:
Alternatively you could have:
and then:
These models are mostly equivalent, the main difference being that the second one provides a clear path to a distinct activity_id identifier, which is one reason many people would prefer it, especially when using an ORM to persist the data (although you can do it the first way too by sharing a sequence).

HOUSTON (April 28, 2013)—Houston firefighters responded to at least 50 calls for water rescues after heavy downpours and thunderstorms hit the area, spokesman Jay Evans said.
Evans said most of the calls Saturday came from motorists who drove into high water and ended up trapped.
He said there have been no reports of injuries or deaths.
Officials warned people to stay off roads.
Flood Control District officials reported as much as 6 inches of rainfall in some parts of Harris County in three hours, mostly in the west, southwest and central parts of the area.
County officials say at least three bayous and creeks were close to capacity, which could potentially cause surrounding streets and low-lying areas to flood.

As the general public continues to learn about the incoming film, Marvel Comics #1 franchise in the four-color medium remains "The Avengers." With multiple titles and teams to its credit, Earth's Mightiest Heroes continue to top the sales charts, and today Marvel is celebrating the franchise with their latest "Next Big Thing" call featuring franchise captain writer Brian Michael Bendis and Executive Editor Tom Brevoort.
Bendis started by announcing a new crossover between the two main Avengers titles. "We're dubbing it 'The HAMMER War' for now. It's the return of Norman Osborn and the return of the Dark Avengers. It sets up a pretty large scale, multi-tiered war for the Avengers," said Bendis, noting that Osborn's new plan for HAMMER will overwhelm the numbers of the heroes currently in the rosters for both the Avengers and the New Avengers.
"The story starts in 'Avengers' 16.1," the writer continued, praising the jumping on point issues. "This one we have Neal Adams drawn. What a personally amazing thing for me, and I want to thank Tom for making this happen." Brevoort noted the issue would also be inked by legendary Avengers embellisher Tom Palmer.
Bendis related that "When Neal came on board, I immeadiately called him and said, 'What would you like to draw?'" and Adams' response was "I want to draw your best script." Bendis took it upon himself to cram the issue full of things Adams has never drawn, which coincidentally included most of the New Avengers cast. "I gave him a big Iron Fist piece, and he really drew Iron Fist in that Neal Adams way...the whole piece came together great."
The big story kicks off when Osborn's release from prison finds him confronting a willing group of followers that fans may not expect. "The plan is that Hydra, AIM and the Hand have all decided to pull together under his banner...they all see the world a similar way, and they want it taken care of. They're working together under Osborn's leadership," Bendis said, noting that characters like Madam Hydra and Gorgon may not be totally trustworthy.
The combined might of those Marvel organizations will allow the new Dark Avengers to contain stand-ins for all the biggest heroes from Thor to Spider-Man and one Iron Man-like character that's beyond "Anything Tony Stark has ever seen."
The story – which falls in the wake of "Fear Itself" – will also see a lineup change for both Avengers teams, particularly the New Avengers where aside from the already announced Daredevil, Bendis will add two characters who are "as classic as classic Avengers as you can imagine." The story will see Steve Rogers calling the shots on how to keep the teams together in the face of the big threat.
While the story will take place both in "Avengers" and "New Avengers," the war will take place on two fronts so each team won't have to meet up necessarily to fight the threat. The New Avengers will face the Dark Avengers while the Avengers will take on new threats born of the new HAMMER's technological team up.
Asked what the draw was to creating psuedo-Avengers teams for the heroes to fight – including the just-announced Revengers coming to the "New Avengers" annual – the writer explained "The whole point of the Avengers is to fight something they can't fight themselves," Bendis said, adding that "Particularly both the Revengers and the situation with HAMMER are not guys trying to rob a bank and go mwahahaha. They have a specific point of view like Doctor Doom or Magneto." The writer pointed that Wonder Man will have a very specific argument to make against the Avengers. He added that villains like Wonder Man and Captain Ultra are pretty top notch fighters, and that the Revengers overall will be a definite threat. "Specifically The Revengers are all people who were Avengers one way or the other...they're all people who could agree with Simon's pitch." Brevoort added that overall, the mark of who would make the team would be that they were heroes in their own mind.
The question of what has changed for Norman Osborn since Dark Reign prompted a discussion of what's interesting about his mental imbalance. "He's surrounded by people who don't care about Norman's mental state," Bendis said. "Other people will hitch a ride to that crazy because so much success comes out of it...it's character who will help him help himself." Brevoort added, "There were a lot of people who believed his point of view...and in his absence, that movement has continued to grow and find its feet."
Bendis added that the change in the public will impact how the heroes are seen as well. "The Avengers are there sometimes when something bloody and disruptive happens, and some people could get sick of it. The media turns pretty quickly...and I think we're going to see more about how the public views the Avengers and Steve Rogers as a leader. Steve kind of came in on a white horse, but is it really any better now?" said the writer. "A lot of that is what Norman is going to be feeding on."
There will be some crossover as well with Spider-Man's world playing off the Goblin tattoos that have been seen in "Amazing Spider-Man" and other books. "That is going to be coming right into each others' airspace," said Bendis while Brevoort confirmed he'd been discussion Norman with Dan Slott, saying that whenever the former Green Goblin is out of prison, a cloud hangs over Peter Parker's head as he waits for the villain to make a move.
The writer also spoke on how with some events, Marvel tends to put the big villain away after a major story ends, but "With Osborn, there was a lot more to explore." He knew that he would jump back to the character as soon as Kelly Sue Deconnick was done with her "Osborn" series.
Bendis also confirmed that he'll use some of the "Secret Warriors" characters coming up, including Daisy Johnson showing up in next week's "Avengers" #17.
He then compared the teams of Avengers, saying the New Avengers is more like a family while the core Avengers is like an appointment..."That's where Captain America has called you, and you report like a soldier to the building. Between the two teams, there's going to be a lot more coming and going and 'Whoever's around, we need you.' With that will come a lot more team-up duos and trios going on separate missions together."
Asked if a team up between Hydra, AIM and the Hand would make for a story that can't be topped, Bendis joked that "That's tomorrow's problem" before saying that he's made even bigger plans for next year to tie in to the "Avengers" film, so it's not too much a worry. The question of how long the Avengers and New Avengers teams would stay separate in the face of the new HAMMER, the writer said they would cross over by the third act of the story, but "Truthfully, like 85% of the people that read these books read both of them. So you want to give them a reward for sticking with it. As for the other people, you don't want to torture them, but you want to give them something cool that says, 'You haven't seen this.' There's going to be a lot going on in the books, and if you're strictly 'I'm only going to buy Avengers' you'll still get cool story."
The writer confirmed that the Ultron hints he's laid in the book are for later on in the project that will be drawn by Bryan Hitch, and he confirmed that several issues of that series are completed so it can ship monthly when it hits.
As for Wonder Man, Bendis shied away from calling him a villain. "I don't see him so much as a villain. I see him as someone who's stepped back, taken a look at his life and said 'I've made some huge mistakes, and the Avengers is one of them." He said he's not going out of his way to destroy Roy Thomas' cast of Avengers and that he has big plans ahead for Wonder Man.
The artists for the crossover will be Daniel Acuña on "Avengers" while John Romita, Jr. works on other projects and Mike Deodato on "New Avengers" returning to the Dark Avengers world he helped create. Brevoort confirmed that for now, the Secret Avengers team will remain as solo stories by Warren Ellis, but next year it will begin to thread back in to the other Avengers series. Bendis said that the crossover will, however, see some tie-in with his own "Moon Knight" series.
Bendis wrapped speaking on the "Avengers" film and how it will impact the franchise in comics. "This is the start of a year of what I think is going to be a really tremendous run of Avengers stories," he said, noting that the whole staff have rededicated themselves to telling big stories only Marvel Comics can do to make 2012 "The Year of The Avengers."

- Conference date: 3–7 September 2012
- Location: Jyväskylä, Finland
In large negative ion sources of the neutral beam injector (NBI) for large fusion devices, such as ITER and JT-60SA, one of issues is that negative ion beam might be partially intercepted at acceleration grids due to a spatial non-uniformity of negative ion production on large extraction area. Previous experiments have shown that fast electrons emitted from filament cathodes are transported in a longitudinal direction by B × grad B drift and the spatial distribution of electron temperature (Te ) is strongly related with the non-uniformity of negative ion production. In this study, a three-dimensional electron transport analysis code including detailed collision processes has been developed to clarify a physical mechanism of non-uniform Te distribution. Electron density and temperature in the analysis agree well with measurements by Langmuir probe in the JAEA 10A ion source. Then, this study has clarified that the non-uniformity of Te distribution is mainly caused by the following reasons; i) fast electrons drifted in the longitudinal direction survive near the end wall with high energy up to E = 25 – 60 eV and ii) they produce thermal electrons by collision with plasma particles there.

Rare Panda Bear Appearance in N.Y.
The Lisbon-based Musician to Play in Red Bull Concert Series
The U.S. musician Noah Lennox, who performs under the moniker Panda Bear, lives in Lisbon, but he still keeps up with the important events from back home.
"I watch all the Washington Wizards basketball games," Mr. Lennox, 35 years old, said via Skype. "But all the NBA playoff games are on in the wee hours, so I usually watch games the next morning."
He makes a rare stateside appearance on Sunday, playing a sold-out show as part of the Red Bull Music Academy concert series, but for nearly five years in the early 2000s, the Baltimore native called New York City home.
Mr. Lennox still pines for it. "It's the odd little things," he said. "I miss the food options, and the bodegas."
He dropped out of college to move to New York in 2000. Initially, he said, "I just told myself, 'I'll just be here through the summer.' But then I didn't go back. I didn't know what I was doing, but I felt better in NYC than I did going back to school."
As Panda Bear, Mr. Lennox began recording music, both solo and with a group of high-school friends who became Animal Collective. The band wore masks and played at experimental venues like Tonic and the Cooler, but a few years in, the musicians began to hone their surreal sound into pop songs and soon found themselves at the vanguard of Brooklyn's music scene. Around that time, Mr. Lennox's father died, and he set about recording a solo album, "Young Prayer," in tribute.
"In college, I would listen to 'Young Prayer' all the time," Matt Mondanile, the guitarist for the indie-rock band Real Estate as well as his solo act Ducktails, said in an email. "Noah is inspiring to me in the fact that he has a solo project and a more collaborative band project. His records have a similar style running through them, but he pushes the sound on each one, making them very different."
Mr. Lennox moved to Portugal with his wife, fashion designer Fernanda Pereira, and by the time of his 2007 album "Person Pitch," it was evident that the country had made an impression.
"The sunshine of Lisbon was a big part of 'Person Pitch,' " he said. "I made that album in a room where that light was always flooding in."
Built primarily of Mr. Lennox's vocals atop a collage of sampled sounds that ranges from tribal chants to old surf instrumentals and techno, the album topped the music site Pitchfork's album of the year list and reinforced his standing among emerging artists.
" 'Person Pitch' in particular really changed the way people structure albums," wrote Mr. Mondanile. "The way he performed solo with samplers, singing over the loops, was really inspiring to a lot of musicians that wanted to perform solo without a band."
With Animal Collective's profile also rising, and a guest appearance on Daft Punk's Grammy-winning "Random Access Memories" last year, expectations are even higher for Panda Bear's next step. Mr. Lennox is now mixing his coming album, tentatively titled "Panda Bear Meets the Grim Reaper," set for release later this year.
"I've lived in Lisbon almost 10 years and when I'm on an airplane, I feel like I'm coming home," he said, but he admitted that he still feels like an outsider. "Walking down the street and feeling like you're different, that feeling is always there. But feeling like an alien only happens when I go outside, so I spend a lot of time indoors."
"I still have the sensation of wondering if it's working out," he added. "But with life, you're kinda shooting from the hip. You just go where the wind blows."
