Can the human spirit overcome cancer? Yes!, says Susan Ryan Jordan, a breast cancer survivor and author of The Immune Spirit: A Story of Love, Loss and Healing. Dr. Oz talks to Susan about her book, her journey to overcome breast cancer and how our belief systems affect our ability to heal.
When Susan was first diagnosed with breast cancer in October 1979, she says she blamed herself for being sick. She says a number of events in her personal life, including her mother's death and her own difficult divorce, contributed to her feelings of low self esteem, guilt and shame. "I felt that I deserved breast cancer," she says. "That's psychologically what was going on in my head, that's how warped my thinking was in those days." After reading Carl and Stephanie Simonton's Getting Well Again, Susan says she was awakened to a new way of thinking. She says she began to see how negative thinking could undermine her ability to heal, whereas self-care and positive thinking had the potential to help her heal. "You can change the course of an illness if you can change the way that you react to the stressful events that are happening to you," she says. "It isn't stress, it is the way we react to it that is so detrimental to one's health." Determined to fight for her life, Susan says she used techniques such as visualization therapy to change her mindset and help her body heal. She says although it may sound silly, she pictured her immune system as "a bunch of tiny little white creatures, kind of like knights in white armor." "I imagined them going after anything—any suspicious cell in my body—and literally clobbering the thing," she says. Then, with the help and support of caring doctors, Susan says she underwent surgery and pulled through. Today, she has been cancer free for 20 years, and says life has changed in ways she never thought possible. "I never, ever, first of all, thought I would be such a happy individual as I am, I never thought I would be so fulfilled," she says. "I have an absolutely marvelous husband, we have a wonderful family, I have four great dogs and I do what I love to do—I'm writing." |

You have no favorite boards.
-- Someone made the statement on here Sunday afternoon that it speaks to the state of the program when people are happy about a close loss to a top-ranked team.
Patrick Chambers was not one of them.
"I know you want me to say that we hung in with the No. 4 team in the country and I'm not saying that," he said. "Because that's what's been said for the last 20 years. I'm tired of losing. We lost. I don't like losing. ... When is it enough when it's so close? We gotta move on from those phrases and sayings."
Earlier, the coach said his team had played better over the last week, topping 70 points in losses to Iowa and Michigan. "But I will not let these guys accept moral victories. There's no moral victories when you're 0-13."
-- Chambers reiterated that players -- scholarship guys and walk-ons alike -- have to earn playing time, and said he would tell recruits that anyone can earn it. That explains why guys like walk-ons Kevin Montminy and Alan Wisniewski have earned more minutes lately and why, as many here have wondered, freshmen Donovon Jack and Akosa Maduegbunam haven't seen as much game time. Chambers did say that his freshmen haven't hit the usual "freshman wall" that most rookies run into this time of year and likes the way they work to improve.
-- Penn State has received more offensive contributions from Sasa Borovnjak (15.5 points over the last two games) and Ross Travis (7.0 points, 8.8 rebounds over the last four games) recently. I'll have a more in-depth story on Sasa later this week, but Chambers said the key to Travis' turnaround is that he's doing what he's good at -- the mid-range jumpers and floaters in the lane.
-- Someone brought up the annual question of whether Penn State might play a game at Rec Hall in the future.
"I would never say never," Chambers said. "I'm sure we would love to. I'm sure there's a lot of logistics that would go into it. I would love to get a packed house in Rec Hall, but my first job here is to win and get a packed house at the BJC. It would be cool for our alums and our students and obviously our players to do a little throwback."

Reprivatizing Credit Risk: Where Do We Go From Here? - Event Audio/Video
The Financial Services Bailout
March 19, 2009
Jeb Hensarling, David Berenbaum, John Weicher, Alex J. Pollock, Ronald A. CassThe Financial Services Bailout
The following audio and video were recorded on March 19, 2009.
After discussing the extent to which credit risk has been nationalized directly or indirectly through loans or credit guarantees provided by various federal agencies (Treasury, the Fed, the FDIC, the GSEs, etc.), the panel will discuss specific options for denationalizing credit risk through the termination of credit guarantees, the run-off of lending by Treasury and the Fed, the privatization or liquidation of Fannie and Freddie, and regulatory and statutory changes which could spur increased saving and the resumption of lending by private-sector financial intermediaries in a manner that is much less likely to lead to another financial crisis.

NorDevCon is a one day agile and tech conference held annually in the historic English town of Norwich, also the setting for the recent British comedy Alan Partridge: Alpha Papa.
Last Friday I took the short hop across the Fens to Norwich to talk about Data Science and Machine Learning with F#. First a talk on F# Type Providers entitled All your base types are belong to us (thanks to Ross McKinlay for the meme), and then after lunch a hands on Machine Learning workshop exploring `Titanic passengers using data from Kaggle (a data science company based in San Francisco).
The conference attracted a great range of speakers with some really interesting sessions:
In the morning I got to chat with Jon Skeet about programming with kids, and then watched him answer stack overflow questions at a frightening pace.
Jason Gorman gave a lively and warm opening keynote on Software Apprenticeships, which included a Skype session with his brave apprentice, Will Price. Immediately followed by Chris O'Dell on Continuous Delivery at 7Digital which ended with a lot of interested questions.
In the afternoon I caught Phil Nash's thought provoking session on Agile and Mobile – do they work together as well as they should. Phil talked about a schism in testing approaches on mobile platforms, particularly iOS, with some in the community advocating unit testing and TDD and others none at all. Check out Phil's links from the talk to learn more.
The closing keynote came from the highly respected Nat Pryce and Steve Freeman on Building SOLID Foundations. The talk focused on design principles for addressing complexity in mid-scale codebases. Nat gave examples of successfully taming complexity in an unnamed risk management project using immutability and DSLs, in effect a functional-style approach. An approach that Jessica Kerr also explored in some depth in her popular Functional Principles for Object-Oriented Developers talk at last year's Øredev.
The day was capped off was a hearty dinner with a fun format where people moved around between the courses.
All your types are belong to us!
My first talk show cased typed access to a vast array of data sources through to software environments like Hadoop and R, via F# Type Providers:
Type Providers covered:
All of the Type Providers shown are open source projects developed by the F# community, can be easily integrated into projects via Nuget and run on Linux, Mac and Windows.
The HTML Table type provider being the most recent, developed by Colin Bull, it gives immediate typed access to data in tables on web pages.
After the talk Jon Skeet suggested a Protocol Buffers Type Provider:
Learning about F# Type Providers with @ptrelford at #nordevcon. Must try this with Protocol Buffers. (As @dsyme mentioned in 2012!)— Jon Skeet (@jonskeet) February 28, 2014
Learning about F# Type Providers with @ptrelford at #nordevcon. Must try this with Protocol Buffers. (As @dsyme mentioned in 2012!)
For which it turns out Cameron Taggart already has a project called Froto.
If you are interested in creating your own Type Provider I'd recommend reading Michael Newtons's Type Provider tutorial. Michael will be running a free workshop on building Type Providers at the F#unctional Londoners meetup on May 1st.
Hands On Machine Learning workshop
This session gave an introduction to machine learning, using F#'s REPL and the CSV Type Provider to easily explore data on Titanic and predict survival outcomes:
It was a great group and everyone managed to complete the task and produce good prediction results using decision tree learning in just 1.5 hours.
Wrapping Up
Thanks to Paul Grenyer for organizing an excellent conference and giving me the opportunity to speak. Paul put together a really interesting programme which was extremely well-executed.
A++ would recommend :)
Are you a VB developer curious about functional-first programming. F# is a statically typed language built into Visual Studio. It is a multi-paradigm language with both functional and object-oriented constructs.
F# has powerful type inference which reduces the amount of typing you need to do without reducing performance or correctness.
F# projects are easily referenced from VB and vice versa. Like VB, F# makes minimal use of curly braces, and for many operations the syntax will feel quite familiar.
Here's my cut-out-and-keep guide to common operations in both languages:
Declaring values
' Fully qualified Dim greeting As String = "Hello" ' Type inferred Dim greeting = "Hello"
// Fully qualified let greeting : string = "Hello" // Type inferred let greeting = "Hello"
Declaring functions
Sub Print(message As String) Console.WriteLine(message) End Sub Function Add _ (a As Integer, b As Integer) _ As Integer Return a + b End Function
Function Add _ (a As Integer, b As Integer) _ As Integer Return a + b End Function
let print( message: string ) = Console.WriteLine(message) // Return type is inferred let add(a:int, b:int) = a + b
For i = 1 To 10 Console.WriteLine("Hello") Next For Each c In "Hello" Console.WriteLine(c) Next
for i = 1 to 10 do Console.WriteLine("Hello") for c in "Hello" do Console.WriteLine(c)
Dim ageGroup As String If age < 18 Then ageGroup = "Junior" Else ageGroup = "Senior" End If
let ageGroup = if age < 18 then "Junior" else "Senior"
Pattern Matching
' Score Scrabble letterSelect Case c Case "A", "E", "I", "L", "N", _ "O", "R", "S", "T", "U" Return 1 Case "D", "G" Return 2 Case "B", "C", "M", "P" Return 3 Case "F", "H", "V", "W", "Y" Return 4 Case "K" Return 5 Case "J", "X" Return 8 Case "Q", "Z" Return 10 Case Else Throw New _
' Score Scrabble letter
InvalidOperationException() End Select
// Score scrabble letter match letter with | 'A' | 'E' | 'I' | 'L' | 'N' | 'O' | 'R' | 'S' | 'T' | 'U' -> 1 | 'D' | 'G' -> 2 | 'B' | 'C' | 'M' | 'P' -> 3 | 'F' | 'H' | 'V' | 'W' | 'Y' -> 4 | 'K' -> 5 | 'J' | 'X' -> 8 | 'Q' | 'Z' -> 10 | _ -> invalidOp ""
Dim i As Integer = 5 Try Throw New ArgumentException() Catch e As OverflowException _
When i = 5 Console.WriteLine("First handler") Catch e As ArgumentException _
When i = 4 Console.WriteLine("Second handler") Catch When i = 5 Console.WriteLine("Third handler") End Try
let i = 5 try raise (ArgumentException()) with | :? OverflowException when i = 5 -> Console.WriteLine("First handler") | :? ArgumentException when i = 4 -> Console.WriteLine("Second handler") | _ when i = 5 -> Console.WriteLine("Third handler")
Module Math ' Raise to integer power Function Pown( _ x As Double, y As Integer) Dim result = 1 For i = 1 To y result = result * x Next Return result End Function End Module
module Maths = // Raise to integer power let pown (x:float,y:int) = let mutable result = 1.0 for i = 1 to y do result <- result * x result
' Immutable class Public Class Person Private ReadOnly myName As String Public Sub New(name As String) myName = name End Sub ReadOnly Property Name() As String Get Return myName End Get End Property End Class ' Inheritance Public Class MyWindow _ : Inherits Window End Class
// Immutable class type Person (name : string) = member my.Name = name
// Inheritance type MyWindow() = inherit Window()

C# is a mainstream programming language based on Java, that runs on Windows via .Net and cross platform via Mono. On .Net , C# is used primarily in the enterprise for web and desktop applications. With Mono, C# can target a range of popular platforms including iOS and Andriod, and is primarily employed in mobile application development via Xamarin's tools and game development via Unity.
Microsoft's current shipping C# compiler is proprietary code written in C++. Mono's C# compiler, is open source and written in C#. In 2008 Microsoft announced the development of a new proprietary C# compiler written in C#, codenamed Roslyn, with the last preview released back in 2012. One of Roslyn's key aims to expose the output of the parser as an abstract syntax tree (AST) that can be inspected by third party developers for tooling.
To fill the void, it feels like every man and his dog has written a parser for C#, most commonly to provide developer productivity tools in Visual Studio.
Third party vendors with C# parsers include:
On the open source side, Irony is a particularly interesting project allowing grammars to be specified in C# and includes samples for parsing many languages including C# and Java.
Parsing C#
You can think of C# and Java as managed C with classes. That is C# at it's core is an imperative programming language, composed of statement blocks with additional syntax for class declaration and a dot operator for invoking members on a class.
Under the hood instance members simply take the instance as the first argument:
struct Point {
float X; float Y;
float length(Point p) { return sqrt(p.X*p.X + p.Y*p.Y); }
class Point { float X; float Y; public float Length() { return Math.Sqrt(X * X + Y * Y); } }
The dot operator is probably *the* killer feature of class based languages like Java and C# as it allows developers to explore existing APIs via code completion in an IDE.
Parsing C# statements is not hugely dissimilar to parsing Small Basic statements which I have covered in a recent article. The only real difference is that C style languages typically employ semicolons between statements and curly braces to delimit statement blocks.
Parsing C# files involves finding using directives and namespace blocks. Then inside the namespace blocks finding type blocks including class, interface, struct, enum and delegate constructs. Inside the class blocks the member fields, properties, methods and constructors. Finally inside the members the statement blocks.
A few weeks back I was stuck on a a slow running train for a couple of hours, and had a go at writing a simple C# parser in F# using discriminated unions for the abstract syntax tree (AST) and FParsec for parsing. The same approach I'd used to parse Small Basic. I managed to sketch out a rough AST and a parser for namespaces and class declarations with around 100 lines of code. After a few more train journeys I managed to cover members and statement blocks, getting close to parsing C# 1.1. The prototype C# AST and parser is available as an F# snippet that can be run as a script inside F# interactive.
As an aside Neil Danson has recently constructed a compiler for the AST in F# that builds .Net assemblies. Basically this requires a number of passes, including building classes and members and then emitting IL code for statements, which is mostly a one-to-one mapping.
The smallest building block in the AST is an expression which includes values, variables, member invocations and operators:
type Expr = | Value of Literal | Variable of VarName | MethodInvoke of MemberName * Arg list | PropertyGet of MemberName | Cast of TypeName * Expr | InfixOp of Expr * string * Expr | PrefixOp of string * Expr | PostfixOp of Expr * string | TernaryOp of Expr * Expr * Expr
Then comes statements including the standard imperative loops and control flow:
type Statement = | Assignment of Init | PropertySet of MemberName * Expr | Action of Expr | If of Expr * Block | IfElse of Expr * Block * Block | Switch of Expr * Case list | For of Init list * Condition * Iterator list * Block | ForEach of Define * Expr * Block | While of Expr * Block | DoWhile of Block * Expr | Throw of Expr | Try of Block | Catch of TypeName * Block | Finally of Block | Lock of Expr * Block | Using of Expr * Block | Label of LabelName | Goto of LabelName | Break | Continue | Return of Expr
Statements are organized inside members with a myriad of optional modifiers:
// Modifiers type Access = Public | Private | Protected | Internal type Modifier = Static | Sealed | Override | Virtual | Abstract type ParamType = ByValue | ByRef | Out | Params
// Members type Member = | Field of Access * Modifier option * IsReadOnly * ReturnType * Name * Expr option | Property of MemberInfo * Block option * Block option | Method of MemberInfo * Param list * Block | Constructor of Access * Modifier option * Name * Param list * PreConstruct option * Block
Members are organized inside types:
type CSharpType = | Class of Access * Modifier option * Name * Implements * Members | Struct of Access * Name * Member list | Interface of Access * Name * Implements * Member list | Enum of Access * TypeName * EnumValue list | Delegate of Access * Name * ReturnType * Param list
Types are optionally organized inside namespaces:
type Import = | Import of Name list | Alias of Name * Name list type NamespaceScope = | Namespace of Import list * Name list * NamespaceScope list | Types of Import list * CSharpType list
You can see the full source for the AST and parser in the F# snippet.
The basic structure of the parser is very similar to the Small Basic parser implementation. The main difference I found is that C# has a lot more syntactic noise to support classes.
As an example the following code fragment parses property declarations:
let pget = str_ws "get" >>. pstatementblock let pset = str_ws "set" >>. pstatementblock let ppropertyblock = between (str_ws "{") (str_ws "}") ((opt pget) .>>. (opt pset)) let pproperty = pipe2 pmemberinfo ppropertyblock (fun mi (gblock,sblock) -> Property(mi,gblock,sblock))
Building with FParsec iteratively in F# interactive made light work of sketching out a parser and refining the AST.
In the spirit of build one to throw away from the Mythical Man Month, it feels like the combination of F# and FParsec is ideal for quickly putting together an AST and proving it with a working prototype parser. Which I feel would be a good approach to take if you wanted to build a production C# compiler in a timely manner.
Sketching out an AST and parser has been an interesting, but not overly taxing exercise and has given me a few insights into C#'s syntax. My overriding feeling is that the original layout of the language was more influenced by ease of parsing than ease of use for the developer, with minimal type inference, and the use of constructs like ref and out parameters over support for returning multiple values via tuples.
C#'s var keyword gives simple type inference for local variables, however given the type of the right hand expression is already known inference here seems like a nop.
I don't plan to take the C# parser any further, there is already a lot of offerings out there in this space. But if you're interested in understanding how imperative languages can be constructed I think it's probably a fun exercise to try.
The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent my employer's view in anyway.

It has a bedroom with a double bed, a bedroom with two bunk beds, a living room
with kitchenette and sofa bed, and a bathroom with a shower.
The house
The apartment is on the first floor of a two-story villa which has the external
walls tiled with stones, and which has been built approximately 50 meters (50
yards) from the sea and from the sand beach. From the bedroom with the double
bed and the living room you will be able to enter the terrace with a view of the
The terrace is equipped with a large beach umbrella, two tables and chairs.
Villa Barbara Tre is nice and comfortable inside, as well: the living room is
spacious. There is a divan bed that can be made into two comfortable single beds,
and a kitchenette that has the basics: a refrigerator and a four-burner cooker.
The furnishing is modern, practical and elegant. The apartment is equipped with
air conditioning, satellite television, DVD player and telephone.
Upon request you will be able to connect to the Internet, rent DVDs and
videogame consoles, and also rent a 16-feet rubber boat that can be managed
without nautical license.
The beach
A large beach made of golden fine sand is at short distance from the apartment.
You will be able to reach it walking for approximately 50 meters (50 yards).
From June to September you will be able to enjoy a beach service that includes
the use of a beach umbrella, deck chairs and sun lounges.
In the summer months bars and restaurants on the beach are open.
In the other months of the year you will still be able to access the beach at no
This beach earns year after year the Blue Flag award of the European Union for
the clarity of the sea water.
Swimming is safe for kids and for those who are not expert swimmers as the water
is shallow. The weather in the area is mild, and allows you to enjoy the sun and
the sea for the largest part of the year.
With a short stroll along the beach you will be able to walk to the center of
Santa Maria di Castellabate.
There you will find a pedestrian precinct and a wide choice of cafes,
restaurants and shops.
The location
The apartment is located in a tiny complex of three small two-story villas,
which have been built on the edge of a sandy beach, and that share a direct
access to the sea and to a reserved tract of beach.
From every point of the complex and from the terraces of the villas you will
have a very close view of the sea, of the arch made by the golden beach below,
and of the bay of Santa Maria di Castellabate.
The view is charming from sunrise to sunset, and the sunsets on the sea are
particularly suggestive.
The three villas are inside a fenced area that covers a sloping tract of coast
located between the road and the sea. They are almost sheer above the beach and
the sea.
You will be able to drive inside the fenced area to reach the three villas. Next
to each villa there are parking spaces, one for each apartment.
Villa Barbara Tre is located in the topmost building, the one that is closer to
the entrance gate and the parking area.
There is a reception where a caretaker is available to provide information and
to answer questions.
Villa Barbara Tre is an apartment that will let you live in close contact with
the beach and with the sea.
The air is transparent and bright, and the brilliant colors of the landscape
around you convey joy of life: you will be happy to be right in this place to
spend your vacation!
The twilight adds even more charm to this place.
You can wait for it on the beach, or enjoy it on your terrace: the sun that sets
on the sea wraps the beach, the trees and the houses in a warm golden light. It
paints the waves of the sea in a palette of colors from violet to melted gold,
and changes the horizon into an explosion of yellow, orange and red, before
sinking to leave the stage to the blue of the evening.
It will be a memory that you will bring with you at the end of your vacation.
Nearby tourist attractions
Staying at Villa Barbara Tre you will enjoy the sun, the beach, the sea, the
green of the pine trees, the tranquillity of a small and graceful tourist spot.
You will be able to see how Italians really live, and enjoy the good local
cuisine, based on fish and on the genuine products of the Cilento National Park,
such as mozzarella cheese, olive oil and wine.
You will be able to take your place into the intense Italian summer vacation
life, made of beach and sun during the day, religious or culinary street
festivals in the evening. At these festivals you will always be able to taste
the local cuisine and enjoy music and dances under the stars.
Villa Barbara Tre is an excellent starting point to visit the Cilento National
Park and the archaeological excavations of Paestum and Velia, the excavation of
Pompeii and Herculaneum, the Amalfi Coast and Capri, and much more.
Bus service is available in the area.
The closest train station is Agropoli, at 14 km (9 miles). In the area you will
find the tourist ports of San Marco (at 4 km, 2.5 miles) and of Agropoli, and it

look: 4.25 | smell: 4.5 | taste: 4 | feel: 4 | overall: 4
Poured from a 22 oz bottle into a goblet. Thank you Keith for this one, appreciate it man.
A- Pours a very, very hazy dull yellow body with a decent sized white head that reduces slowly and leaves blotchy lacing. Opaque.
S- Very nice on the nose.. barnyard funk, belgian yeast, citrus rind, lemongrass primarily, some malt and fruit in the background, bananas and spices.
T- Upfront I get an even combination of the Brett yeast, citrus peel, and belgian spices. Funky, yeasty, and spicy notes all show up on the follow through. The IPA character of this beer eventually shows its head on the finish, in which a slightly bitter resinous note sticks on the tongue.
M- Medium mouthfeel, low carbonation. Easy drinker.
I did enjoy this beer - I really wish the taste followed the enticing aromas a little more, I was expecting more funkyness on the tongue. Overall very good and recommendable, though.

Appearance is a clear hello with a finger white fizzy head.
Aroma is pear and pineapple, amazing.
Flavor is strawberry banana, and its unbelievable.
It's pretty much warmed up and it's super complex.
Even some faint funk to it.
If is beer was close by I'd get it all the time.
Mouthfeel is dry but the flavor is mind blowing.
This beer impressed me, and I had moderate expectations.
Hope I get to taste it again.

3.94/5 rDev -9.2%
look: 3.5 | smell: 4.25 | taste: 3.75 | feel: 4.25 | overall: 4
Pours a big, three plus finger head of loosely knit foam, bleached white, its airy nature causes it to sizzle off at a steady pace, at the same time the lacing is wispy and even fluffy but that lasts a good long time. The gauziness to the liquid teases out some deepening orange hues to the base yellow, not many bubbles, somewhat flat visual appearance. The nose has a fresh directness to it, white grapefruit energizing pear, apple, and peach fruit scents, only lightly herbal, salt and pepper, dried bread crust, has a sourness to it and cleaner than expected, zips in and zips out. Medium-bodied, the carbonation never quite catches so it stays soft and does not percolate as it might otherwise. Cinnamon, nutmeg sprinkled on top of pear, apricot, peach, pineapple fruit. The white grapefruit, lemon citrus by far the most aggressive element, and here the grassiness turned up a notch, contributes to its overall sourness. Floral, notes of quinine and saline. Becomes more dry through the finish, has earthiness but, again, of a clean nature, no real funk. Glides well and there's no rough spots at all. About as quaffable as one might expect from such a brew.

When you run the same process over a few years, its particular shortcomings emerge and can dominate: for example, Joel Spolsky claimed that MicroSoft had an economic criterion for fixing bugs, so that they only fix a bug if it costs them more (e.g. in sales) to have it than to fix it—for a monopoly in a growing market there is no loss of sales from bugs, and for a near monopoly with free alternatives to some extent the funds you lose from an application sale may be spent on another purchase from you anyway: we spend less on Office but that gives us more to spend on Vista, for example.
I don't know if Joel was correct in his assessment, or whether Microsoft have a different strategy now. But clearly the mid-term impact of such a strategy would be a buggy code base, with entrenched workarounds, combinatorial explosions of symptoms that prevent diagnosis, and an inadquate foundation to prevent major errors. Not to mention a sudden exposure to loss of market share when the market gets saturated and stops growing: when a sucker isn't born every minute.
Sun's Java effort is similarly suffering recently: they have a nice-looking error process based on people voting for errors as critical. Now whether Sun acutally use this list to determine which bugs they fix first, or whether they use the vote to justify ignoring bugs that they are not interested in, the result is probably the same. A system with lots of known bugs.
There are lots of other single-strategy methodologies: risk-based analysis, ISO 9126 software quality analysis, weighting bugs against their depth in the call stack so that libary bugs are fixed at hgih priority, metrics, test driven programming, and so on. I don't know why we should have any confidence that any of them will necessarily not, over time, systematically fail to address some kinds of errors. Which will bite us.
So is a better approach to just fix bugs randomly? Pick a bug from a hat? Well, maybe….
Perhaps we should say each maintenance methodology applied singly over time will result in an accumulation of unaddressed errors in some aspect.
Part of the problem is human: people have interests and pressures and viewpoints. So democracies solve this by what Lee Teng-Hui (the Taiwanese president who secretly funded the opposition parties) called "the regular alternation of power": term limits, shifting jobs, even sabbaticals.
Part of the problem, as I see it, is with simple prioritization of bugs. Sometimes it is better to see each module as a whole, allocate quality requirements for that module, and then handle each bug according to its module priority. For example, Sun could say "we don't treat text.html as a priority module but we do treat 3D rendering as a priority". Apply this to voting, and then two votes for an HTML bug would be required to equal one vote for a 3D bug.
But that is a more complex strategy to be sure, but it is still a single strategy.
A better way of doing things may be to divide the debugging/maintenance/natural enhancement effort into independent efforts. For example, have main stream process use immediate rational economic effect, risk or deadline criteria. But also have a background effort that alternates between different strategies: systematic audits for internationalization, performance, standards-compliance, transparency, integrity, resource utilization, and other quality concerns. And also have a background effort that uses weighted voting and different criteria that accepts minor Requests For Enhancement as well as bugs.
And even, for one in a hundred bug fixes, do pick a bug out of the hat, on the grounds that you don't have 100% confidence that even the multi-criteria maintenance will prevent the emergence of a nasty clump of errors in some aspect. Shake it up.

Because the decision to continue or terminate a pregnancy had a profound effect on a woman's private life, including her physical and moral integrity, any interference with this decision must be analysed in light of the woman's right to privacy. This was true regardless of whether the interference directly affected the woman's access to legal abortion or affected it indirectly, by denying her the prerequisite healthcare she needed in order to make a decision regarding continuation or termination of the pregnancy. Numerous international conventions broadly recognised a woman's right to the highest attainable standard of health, including access to appropriate reproductive care. Privacy was particularly important in the case of sexual and reproductive healthcare, which must be provided in a manner consistent with women's rights to personal autonomy.
The ECHR has previously been called to rule on abortion rights in its signatory countries. In December, the ECHR ruled [JURIST report] that Ireland failed to provide "effective and accessible procedures" to allow a Lithuanian women to assert her constitutional right to a lawful abortion. In 2007, Polish Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski declared that Poland planned to appeal a ruling [JURIST reports] by the ECHR that found Poland in violation of Article 8 for prohibiting a pregnant woman who had a serious risk of vision loss if she carried the pregnancy to term from obtaining an abortion. The ECHR rejected this appeal [JURIST report], reinforcing that the Polish government did not provide any procedural framework to resolve a dispute concerning whether a medical exception should be granted, or to facilitate "effective mechanisms capable of determining whether the conditions for obtaining a lawful abortion had been met." Gerolf Hagens [professional profile] has analyzed [JURIST comment] the ECHR's rulings on abortion.

Deep fried mars bars are one of the most unhealthy desserts you could imagine. Invented in Scotland, a mars chocolate bar is frozen and dipped in cake batter, then deep fried until crisp and golden on the outside and gooey in the middle. Not recommend for regular consumption, but good for a treat .

Repairing the ridiculous mess up the middle...
Posted 14 October 2011 - 07:42 PM
2) Sign Jimmy Rollins if you want to shore up defense while you develop Javier Baez in the minors. Hopefully Baez can stick to SS with his frame but it'll be up to Cubs management on this one. I like a stop-gap like Rollins (4 yr deal with a club option on the 4th). Nice to dream a little dream.
3) Move Byrd to right field and bring Brett Jackson up to start at CF from the get go. Out of all the top 5 OF prospects only Harper and Jackson have yet to sniff the majors. We all now that both are going to be there in 2012. Scouting Jackson, Strengths: Well-rounded, athletic. Good bat speed. Solid plate discipline. Speed (4.15). Arm strength. Attitude...I say welcome to the bigs Kid. Having Byrd in RF, Jackson in CF and platooning LF seems the most logical if you want to improve the defense up the middle.
4) Barney at 2B, Rollins at SS, Jackson at CF seems to be a decent triangle of defense if you're serious about contending in a few years. Reyes is going to ask for too much and he wasn't that much better with the glove than Castro. Winning championships starts with defense and pitching. I'm tired of the errors...right the ship on this one.
Open to comments here...get the ball rolling.
Posted 15 October 2011 - 07:49 AM
Given Castro is just 22, I might be inclined to give him one more year at SS to see if he can improve. I think most would agree that more focus and experience at the position would reduce errors.
Posted 15 October 2011 - 08:36 AM
Posted 15 October 2011 - 01:11 PM
Castro to 3B is probably in the cards eventually, but I think we need to give him another year or two to try and improve at short. His bat at short = perennial All-Star. His bat at third = average or slightly above average regular.
Byrd to RF for the short term is fine, but his bat there is extremely weak.
Posted 15 October 2011 - 09:09 PM
Castro would be a downgrade (powerwise) at 3B but he'll eventually have to get moved once he adds a few lbs. He's got the A-rod build. A-ram is gone and with him his useless stats (see Brenley). There are ZERO replacements on the FA market and in house Vitters is starting to come around BUT his glove is horrible. Stick him in RF and call it good. After a half season in Iowa maybe he gets his ticket punched. I was strickly talking about defense here so....
Jackson, Rollins, Barney and Soto. Thinking in terms of defense. Castro would have had about 10 more errors if it weren't for Pena at 1st...oh boy. Just trying to think about how the 2012 Cubs will look.
Posted 16 October 2011 - 09:06 AM
Rollins is good defensively but is going to be 33 in April next year and will command a multi-year deal. Doesn't make much sense to pay long term for a guy who is not setaling bases at same clip as he used to, losing his power, and defensive range is becoming more limited. If we were going to be contenders and this was the missing piece it might be a good move but Cubs have many holes and I'd rather see how Castro can develop at SS.
Posted 16 October 2011 - 05:42 PM
But...we are NOT going gang busters just yet of free agents anyway. Give the kid at least one more year and see what happens. Unless we sign the best 5 available free agents (dear God let's hope we don't) we are not going to compete in 2012 anyway.
Posted 17 October 2011 - 12:13 PM
Posted 17 October 2011 - 12:20 PM
Posted 17 October 2011 - 03:59 PM
Castro's primary issue isn't his ability to field. He has tremendous range and isn't afraid of getting dirty (or afraid of a cleat in his thigh). His issue is his throwing, he has to settle down and avoid rushing his throw or forcing throws. It's really a matter of concentration and focus- meaning he needs good coaching.They need to do the same thing to Castro as they did to Dorn in the first major League movie. Put him at his position and hit hard ground balls over and over until he gets it. Starlin is a good shortstop, he just needs to come up with the ball more than he does...... (Sometimes I think Casto Makes his move towards 1st base before the ball reaches him)

Red wines that are more fruit-forward and lighter in tannin and body.
Medium bodied reds that go down easy, with smooth tannins and supple fruit.
Wines where earthy and/or spicy dominate the flavors – typically medium to full body.
Full bodied wines that have concentrated fruit and are higher in alcohol and/or tannins. Some need age.
The 2008 growing season presented nail-biting challenges that we won't soon forget—frost, wind and hail—yet this Pinot Noir proves that the vintage created many remarkable wines. The orientation and topography of our Carneros vineyards worked in our favor: much of the cold rolled off the slopes, inflicting relatively little frost damage. Mother Nature's mood turned benevolent just in time for the grapes to ripen under ideal, mild conditions. Thanks to great work in the vineyards—and a little luck—we harvested grapes of excellent quality despite temperamental weather conditions.
Our 2008 Pinot Noir, Carneros, opens with ripe plum, raspberry and blackberry aromas that are perfumed with rose nuances. The rich fruit character is echoed on the palate, picking up notes of nuttiness from oak aging. Fine tannins structure the wine, while bright acidity nicely balances the medium-bodied flavors and gives a bright raspberry flourish to the finish.
Situated just two miles from San Francisco Bay in the Carneros District of Napa Valley, Acacia Vineyard is distinguished by a cool microclimate dominated by wind and fog from the nearby Pacific Ocean, and by shallow, dense clay soils. While these difficult growing conditions limit grape production, they result in Pinot Noir and Chardonnay grapes of rare power and complexity....Read More About Acacia
Technically a part of Napa Valley, the Carneros region straddles both Sonoma & Napa counties. It's the Napa region closest to the San Francisco peninsula and the San Pablo Bay, which is instrumental in controlling the climate of the area.
