any chance of packaging this for use with the curse client?
I cannot use this mode on my ELC AMX because the crosshair that appears is the arty one.
This bug is only in this tank (I use more than 45 tanks) and I like this mod very much
When I'm running my T28 Proto I see a green line under the normal reticule, what does it represent?
I guess its the angle indicator because T28 proto cant turn his turret on 360°. Its very helpfull for arti and TDs to know how far you can move your gun/turret until whole tank has to turn.
Hi! Is it possible to turn off the added clock? It overlay the clock added by XVM. So i have two clocks that overwrite each other...
That would be nice J1mb0! I have the same prob: one clock from XVM and yours right after the other one (not on same position) and the second clock (yours, cause I deactivated the XVMs one) overlays the damage indicator from XVM.
Can you disable it, or - how can we disable the clock?
For me Angle indicator doesn't work when playing GwPanther
Hi there, I am really enjoying ur great sights mod. But unfortunately I get a problem with the arty sights here. Whenever I use a arty (at the moment I only have tier2 usa arty t57)and want to open the eagle sight. I will completely lose all of my controll. I mean when I click the "Shift", the curse will go to the left-up corner and I can't controll my curse anymore and neither can I drive my tank... I have tried several of the "CROSSHAIR_PANEL_STRATEGIC.SWF" from "arty-mode\version\type" and none of them works. Can someone help me here?? Thanks a lot!
Quote from crisvsv »Hi i cant see gun traverse limit on my s51 what can i do..tried DAR arty sight and still does not show.....on my SU 152 it the limit works... I have xvm , druid icon mod, etc...
I have this same problem, except the limit shows up on none of my tanks. Perhaps I'm unsure on how to install the various individual aspects of the arty mod?
Ive just seen now that it works in the 8.1 test, there i dont have xvm, icon and damage panel mods...maybe theyve repaired it or its because of one of those mods

Bartlett gambles, makes the cut
And why not? Jonathan Bartlett, an amateur from Lewisburg who picked up a sponsor's exemption into the Greenbrier Classic, saw the priceless opportunity of making the cut in a PGA Tour event.
But on the par-5 572-yard No. 17 hole on Friday afternoon, he needed to reach the green in two and, to do so, needed to somehow avoid the two bunkers that protected the green and had forced many a golfer to play it safe.
"I had to make four or go home,'' said Bartlett. "I had about 265 [yards] with a left-to-right wind. I can't fly it 265, and there's two bunkers that are probably 15 yards apart. For me to get it on the green, I had to hit right there and let it roll up.''
And sure enough, he hit it between the bunkers, the ball rolled to within 20 feet and he two-putted for a birdie, his fourth on the back nine.
"I just hit the 3-wood of my career, basically,'' he said. "I hit it exactly how you picture the shot. I was lucky. It was a gamble, and at the same time it wasn't. If I don't make birdie, I'm going home anyway.''
He nearly had another birdie on the par-3 162-yard 18th, hitting his approach to within 10 feet but missing the putt.
Helped by his splendid 3-wood, he finished at 2-under 70-68-138, allowing him to make the cut right on the number, minus-2.
After a 2-over 36 on the front nine - which put him at 2 over for the tournament - he closed with a 4-under 32 on the back, leaving him in limbo for much of Friday afternoon.
When he walked off the 18th green, the projected cut stood at minus-2 but, as others finished, it changed to minus-3. By about 6 p.m., the projected cut returned to minus-2 and stayed there, putting Bartlett in position to play another day.
He faces the prospect of another cut, however, after today's round. Eighty-five players made the cut, and a relative new PGA Tour rule will reduce that field closer to 70 after today.
Whatever happens, it's been a memorable week for the 2010 State Amateur champion and former Ole Miss golfer. Friends and family from West Virginia and adjoining states made the trek to The Greenbrier and followed him for 18 holes on the Old White course and, all things considered, he believes he played well.
"I wish I had made that putt on 18,'' he said, "but that's how the cookie crumbles sometimes. It's been fantastic. It's all I dreamed of.''
He played meticulously and thoughtfully, like a pitcher staring down a batter before delivering. He took care to determine the precise distances before each shot, knowing that a chance like this might come along only once in a lifetime.
He also felt a bit self-conscious in front of his playing partners, PGA Tour pros Roger Tambellini and Matt Every.
"Roger and Matt were probably rolling their eyes at me, but it was me coming down the stretch in contention today to make the cut,'' said Bartlett. "[Making the cut] is the tournament for me. I'm not in contention to win the tournament.
"I'm not a professional golfer like these guys. I've played mini-tour golf, but it was nothing like these guys. I felt the nerves; I felt the pressure. I hit a lot of great shots coming down to the end. I still missed a couple opportunities for birdies, but from where I was going into 10, I was pleased.''
Bartlett works as an independent contractor selling real estate for the Greenbrier Sporting Club.

Tensions Between Firm Size and Sustainability Goals: Fair Trade Coffee in the United States

Abstract: Sustainability marketing trends have typically been led by smaller, more mission-driven firms, but are increasingly attracting larger, more profit-driven firms. Studying the strategies of firms that are moving away from these two poles (i.e., mission-driven but larger firms, and profit-driven firms that are more committed to sustainability) may help us to better understand the potential to resolve tensions between firm size and sustainability goals. We used this approach to analyze a case study of the U.S. fair trade coffee industry, employing the methods of data visualization and media content analysis. We identified three firms that account for the highest proportion of U.S. fair trade coffee purchases (Equal Exchange, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters and Starbucks) and analyzed their strategies, including reactions to recent changes in U.S. fair trade standards. We found an inverse relationship between firm size and demonstrated commitment to sustainability ideals, and the two larger firms were much less likely to acknowledge conflicts between size and sustainability in their public discourse. We conclude that similar efforts to increase sustainability marketing for other products and services should be more skeptical of approaches that rely on primarily on the participation of large, profit-driven firms.

Vudu goes wireless
A new Vudu accessory adds wireless networking to the video-on-demand box, bringing it up to parity with competitors Apple TV and the Netflix Player--both of which include built-in Wi-Fi.
Like TiVo, Xbox 360, and Sonos, the Vudu on-demand movie player was one of those home entertainment products with a frustrating lack of built-in wireless networking. If an Ethernet connection wasn't nearby, you were forced to invest in a pair of power line networking adapters or a hard-to-configure wireless bridge to interface with the product's Ethernet-only connection. But that's no longer the case: as of today, a wireless option is finally available. The Vudu Wireless Kit is a dedicated pair of transceivers that creates a plug-and-play 802.11g wireless connection between the Vudu and your home's broadband router. Existing Vudu owners can pick up the kit for $79, while new customers can buy the Vudu/Wireless Kit bundle for $349, for a net saving of about $25.
The Wireless Kit is the latest bid by Vudu to counter increasingly fierce competition from the updated Apple TV ($229) and the recent Netflix Player by Roku ($99)--both of which offer built-in Wi-Fi support.

For the many readers of Stieg Larsson's international best-seller "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo," the American film version of the book will not disappoint in any way.
Those who haven't read the source material may leave the theater a little confused — but they, too, will be mesmerized by Rooney Mara's brilliant and seething portrayal of the story's unforgettable heroine, Lisbeth Salander.
Directed by David Fincher ("Fight Club"), "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" is long but stylish, haunting and occasionally brutal. There's a change or two from the book, but it completely maintains the integrity of Larsson's story.
Daniel Craig co-stars as Mikael Blomkvist, a recently disgraced journalist who is enlisted by aging Swedish industrialist Henrik Vanger (Christopher Plummer) to solve a 40-year-old mystery: which wretched family member killed his beloved teenaged niece Harriet.
Reluctant to take the job at first, Blomkvist eventually hits upon a clue and follows the trail doggedly. Craig is convincingly nerded down from James Bond, playing Blomkvist with low-key ease and letting Mara steal the show.
For the first half of the movie, the two characters don't even share a scene together, and we follow their stories separately. Lisbeth, a waifish 24-year-old, is a pierced, tattooed, psychologically scarred cyberpunk. She's scary to look at, but she's also brilliant, possessing a photographic memory and unparalleled hacking skills.
As portrayed by Mara, Lisbeth is seemingly always in control but also stunningly vulnerable. She possesses a quiet rage — understandable considering her troubled past and her shocking and graphic treatment at the hands of her court-appointed guardian.
It's a ferocious and daring performance, easily one of the year's best — even better than the memorable performance by Noomi Rapace playing the same role in the Swedish version of the film.
Other notables in the cast include Stellan Skarsgard as Martin Vanger, Henrik's heir to the company, and Robin Wright as Erika Berger, Blomkvist's publisher and sometimes lover.
Once Blomkvist enlists Lisbeth as his assistant, "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" really takes off. Though much of the investigation is poring through old files and pictures, Fincher keeps the story moving, and the oddball pairing of the two leads creates considerable sparks.
The mystery itself is solid but nothing extraordinary; there have been better whodunnits. It's the character of Lisbeth who raises the material to special. There haven't been many characters more memorable.

This may seem an odd question? But what the heck! I recieved an old ceramic vase from MIL that has horrid colors but a decent shape and otherwise fine condition. So I'm thinking of bringing it out of the closet LOL! Can I paint it with Latex paint? Maybe??? Or even buff it us a bit first?
Curious, and no she wouldn't be offended she may take it back for herself!! LOL
those are two ceramic paints I've used (both should be available at places like Michaels) and both were good. Ceramcoat doesn't require baking but is a 3 step process (base coat, paint, glaze). I wouldn't put either of them in the dishwasher but they are pretty durable. Ceramcoat absolutely ends up looking like glazed ceramic once it's done so it's great for wall tiles and such too.
You can also get a good primer like Zinsser and prime the ceramic and then paint with whatever you like. Still not good for the dishwasher, but will stick and is pretty durable.
Basically once a ceramic has a shiny glaze on it you have something that will be hard to get anything to stick perfectly too but you can do it especially with a good primer like Zinsser. If you have a dull ceramic piece (not glazed) you can paint it with pretty much anything. I have a lamp I painted with craft paints about 10 years ago and that paint is still on there.
You can buy the paints for glass and ceramic that can be baked at art stores. They often have brands you won't find in craft stores.
Don't use latex - it will peel off like skin and spray paint peels off in the dishwasher.
Michaels carries an opaque ceramic paint that you can bake on to your ceramics in your oven at home. It's great stuff and it will never peel or come off no matter how you clean it.
In a recent issue of Style At Home, there was an article about painting old ceramic pieces -- so for sure it can be done!! I can't remember how they said to do it (prep work, what kind of paint, etc.), but if I can find the magazine at home, I'll check the article for you.
Delta has a craft paint called Permenamel, which may be of interest. Here is a link to projects done with it, some on glass and some on ceramic. It doesn't sound as though you'd go as colourful as some projects here, but the product may be of interest to you.
Canadian Tire carries a spray paint that will cover anything without having to sand the object beforehand....it's great and dries fast too.
Ideally I would spray paint it

I'm still surprised that so many MDC mamas haven't learned that different things work for different children and their families.
I'm still surprised that so many MDC mamas are so invested in considering themselves superior and looking down on others for making different choices for those different children and different circumstances. I wasn't asking permission for the freedom. More along the lines of asking for respect and consideration of the fact that we are all different. And, just as I wouldn't sit in judgment of another parent who's doing the best they can in their situation, I would hope that another parent wouldn't sit in judgment of me. Obviously, that's too much to ask for. Still, I have hope that the people on a forum where so many unconventional parenting methods are supported would open their minds to the concept that what works for them may not work for someone else. That doesn't make any of us wrong, or mean that we're somehow harming our children. It means, quite simply, that we're in different circumstances. That happens in a world where everyone's unique. |
We used our harness today at the zoo. My one son has PDD and CP. He's also small for his age; holding is hand can be uncomfortable for everyone, especially when it's warm out. He tends to dart away from me, especially in parking lots. He also has a twin brother. I'll take the harness over him getting hit by a car any day.
I know our situation, I know my child's needs. I don't care if other people judge us, though of course I'd prefer if they didn't. If you feel : by a harness, by all means, don't use one.

According to Wikipedia the Hoover Dam Bypass refers to the construction of the Mike O'Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge and connecting roads for a new route across the Colorado River for U.S. Route 93. The project links the U.S. states of Nevada and Arizona by spanning the Colorado River 1,500 feet (460 m) downstream from the Hoover Dam. The entire project is expected to be completed by September 2010.
This was truly an awesome sight. I can't wait to drive over the bridge someday.

This park is in a wonderful location and has much potential if the staff was not so RUDE. The women who checked us in (from Texas ) was the rudest counterperson my husband and I have ever encountered. She made us feel like we were bothering her. Then the outside person who helped us to our site swore in front of our children. I have never felt uncomfortable at a KOA until this one. Hopefully the management fixes this issue soon as we would like to stay again. The park is beautiful and great views.

The word "ceramics" usually brings to mind functional pottery—cups, bowls and dishes made for actual use or as decorative pieces. They're often pretty, but seldom riveting unless you possess an in-depth knowledge of ceramic techniques. But on the other side of the plates and platters are the studio artists who find their voice in California "funk art," a movement that began in the 1960s and includes a strong wing of ceramic artists. It is among these rebels that we find crazy, kitschy, message-driven clay creations that shatter any preconceptions engendered by precious earthenware and far too many mugs adorned with tree-spirit faces.
Muddy's Studio in Fullerton is pretty much a ceramist's dream: posh rental studios in the back and monthly art exhibits in the front-space Myers Gallery that alternate between classic and offbeat. The latest show, "Zoomorphism," is the latter, and curator Kevin Myers was clearly funk-art inspired when he decided to focus on kitschy hybrids of man and animal. The results are uneven and not quite mind-blowing, yet there are certainly a few artists who make an impression.
Salt Lake City grad student Cristin Zimmer is one of those and seems to have a message for submissive women, men who treat women like pets, or both. In Such a Good Girl, we find a full-sized dog with a girl's head lounging at our feet. The lassie looks up at us, with a panting smile, waiting for praise and approval. Less than docile, her red-clay-chips fur is matted and wild, creeping into the girl's head of hair. The dog collar with tag of ownership is clearly defined, and dog-girl's glazed eyes (the only color on the figure) are swirly-trained on her master in hypnotized adoration.
In Roll Over and Get Yer Tail, similar dog-girls engage in standard pooch behavior: one lies on her back, spread-eagle, waiting for a tummy scratch, her face and hair speckled with colored chips and crazy eyes; the other gnaws on her tail in a wicked frenzy, baring porcelain teeth. Disturbing on several psychological levels, Zimmer's canines don't just question the nature of humanity (which the artist claims is the goal of her work), but also highlight the grotesque nature of the overly submissive woman.
On a lighter note, narrative sculptor Sharon McCoy's satirical exploits with figures seem like mad-hatter scenes from a fantastic, alternative fairy tale. In Someday I Get New Body Parts, a rabbit-eared jester-child with a steel plate bolted over one eye holds his tummy, where another steel plate is coming undone. A papa jester appears in Cat Scratch Fever, in which a blue-faced, bunny-crowned clown-man with a metal eye smiles adoringly at the frisky feline hanging on his shoulder. And in Scape Goat, a helmeted speed-demon-billy rides atop an eye-shuttered tricycle-dachshund in a mad getaway—from a stew pot? McCoy's stories are fanciful and mysterious, and she invites you to create your own.
Other notable pieces include some insect-play: Michael Brail's Lepidoptera Zoomorph is a blue butterfly-winged face that might belong to a woodland nymph, and Brad Blair's Benthic Bug #1 is a stocky, tentacled orb of a pest, with bright-orange pincers and a carnival of colors speckled across its roly-poly body. Also worth a look is Gustavo Martinez's Siglos Después (Centuries Later), a Mesoamerican monument of cultural morphism in which eagles sprout into planes, rattlesnakes curl into trains, and all of them wind around and perch atop a mass of petrified wood, pieces of a defunct civilization.
The rest of the work in the show mostly seems out of place, often with no clear morphing characteristics, such as two pieces featuring tiny Ganesha gods and other more geometrical work that looks very much like, well, just geometrical work done in clay. Leslie Hinton's three pieces, Finger Puppet Holder, Isn't it Nice to Have a Duck Hat? and Chub Chub, while falling into the morph category, seem more like items made at summer camp than pieces fit for a professional show. And it's the inclusion of such work that brings up the issue of curatorial aim and selection.
While half of the pieces in "Zoomorphism" probably didn't belong there or weren't the best curatorial choices, sometimes, you get the submissions you get. When I wandered into the back studio, however, I was quite impressed by the scope of its size, host of professional equipment and racks upon racks of pottery, both fired and waiting for the kiln—and it was there I also spied a perfectly phenomenal funk-art sculpture in one of the rented spaces: a 2-foot-tall alien-esque cactus with desert humanoids frolicking between limbs and bodiless heads sprouting from the tops of prickly pears. It was fantastic. The curator told me it was a piece by Dana Sydlik, a young woman trying to get into grad school. Trying to get into grad school. I'm not sure what this says about the current standards of art schools or curators, but Sydlik's work was one of the best pieces in the building—and it should have been in the show.

This story will go down as one of the greatest fishing adventures I've ever had with my 82 year-old dad. It all started last June when he and I, along with several of our friends, went to Canada on our annual fishing trip.
Dad and I arrived a day earlier than the rest the guys, however, and had some time to fish oneonone before we met up with the rest of the group. We started trolling just as we left the launch and worked our way up a narrow channel that led into the main lake.
About quartermile into our trolling run, the channel made a sharp right turn and the depth dropped from about 6 to 12 feet. Just as I imagined my 'crawler bouncing down this dropoff, I noticed a slight tug on the line. When I set the hook, it felt like I was trying to move a stump. I actually thought it was a log for a moment, but then it started moving.
When I realized I had a huge walleye, I hollered at Dad to get the net, but he remained motionless in the back seat, bent over like he was tying his shoe. Something strange was obviously going on back there, but my attention was so focused on fighting the fish of a lifetime that I couldn't really tell what it was.
Soon, the fish was close to the surface and I needed the net. Once more, I asked Dad to get it, but he continued to ignore me. By now I had the walleye at the side of the boat and couldn't hold it there much longer. This time I must have had a little panic in my voice when I yelled for Dad to get the net. The silence from the back of the boat was broken when he snapped, "I heard you!"
Desperate to boat the fish, I had no choice but to leave my perch at the bow, run back toward Dad, grab the net and try to land the fish myself.
Once I got there, however, I could see what was going on. He was holding a big crankbait with the front hook stuck in his thumb and the back hook stuck in his sock! He was more or less frozen in that position and couldn't move.
Knowing there wasn't much I could do for him with a walleye on my line, I got the fish to the surface, and finally got it in the boat. We always practice catchandrelease, but I wanted a picture of this monster before I released it. Unfortunately, the only person who could take the photo was still stuck in the back seat of the boat, with his thumb attached his sock!
I have spent more than a few hours in a boat, and getting hooked isn't that uncommon, but this one was ugly. Getting the hook out of the sock was easy; I just cut the sock. Getting it out of Dad's thumb was another matter, though, as it was dug in clear up to the curve of the hook and blood was everywhere.
Thankfully, we managed to get the hook out of Dad without too much further injury, and he was actually able to take a quick picture of me and my prize catch.
It could have been much worse, although we were somewhat disappointed. Dad and I had joked with the other guys we were meeting that our mission was to catch a 30inch walleye before they ever arrived. This one turned out to be 29 1 /2!
Life Member Tom Slusser lives in northern Illinois and has fished the Cabela's Masters Walleye Circuit for 18 years. He collects antique fishing equipment and outboard motors, and encourages other anglers to do the same.
There are currently no comments, be the first to post one.
NAFC staff and members have caught some big walleyes over the years—some even on video—but this trophy walleye video courtesy of PK Lures—takes top honors. The quantity and quality of fish caught during this segment is astounding. You've got to see it for yourself!
Sixty-seven lakes and reservoirs, in 19 states, hold specially tagged fish that could turn into cash or prizes for lucky anglers! Read on!
In many states, walleyes are protected by closed fishing seasons during the spawn, though border waters between states often remain open. Make sure you know the regulations where you fish, and if you do have the opportunity to target early-season 'eyes, this map will help you zero in on them.
Puzzled, I put my rod down, took a drink of water, and started up the motor to head to another flat. Then it hit me: tight-lipped fish often require ultra-finesse presentations. Why not drop-shot?

Many media companies weigh in and declare that they know which of them moved the populace to wild emotions and untold paroxysms of brand loyalty.

Priority queue
This article includes a list of references, but its sources remain unclear because it has insufficient inline citations. (October 2013) |
In computer science/data structure, a priority queue is an abstract data type which is like a regular queue or stack data structure, but where additionally each element has a "priority" associated with it. In a priority queue, an element with high priority is served before an element with low priority. If two elements have the same priority, they are served according to their order in the queue.
A priority queue is not a heap. A priority queue is an abstract concept like "a list" or "a map"; just as a list can be implemented with a linked list or an array, a priority queue can be implemented with a heap or a variety of other methods.
A priority queue must at least support the following operations:
- insert_with_priority: add an element to the queue with an associated priority.
- pull_highest_priority_element: remove the element from the queue that has the highest priority, and return it.
- This is also known as "pop_element(Off)", "get_maximum_element" or "get_front(most)_element".
- Some conventions reverse the order of priorities, considering lower values to be higher priority, so this may also be known as "get_minimum_element", and is often referred to as "get-min" in the literature.
- This may instead be specified as separate "peek_at_highest_priority_element" and "delete_element" functions, which can be combined to produce "pull_highest_priority_element".
In addition, peek (in this context often called find-max or find-min), which returns the highest-priority element but does not modify the queue, is very frequently implemented, and nearly always executes in O(1) time. This operation and its O(1) performance is crucial to many applications of priority queues.
More advanced implementations may support more complicated operations, such as pull_lowest_priority_element, inspecting the first few highest- or lowest-priority elements, clearing the queue, clearing subsets of the queue, performing a batch insert, merging two or more queues into one, incrementing priority of any element, etc.
Similarity to queues[edit]
One can imagine a priority queue as a modified queue, but when one would get the next element off the queue, the highest-priority element is retrieved first.
- stack – elements are pulled in last-in first-out-order (e.g., a stack of papers)
- queue – elements are pulled in first-in first-out-order (e.g., a line in a cafeteria)
Stacks and queues may be modeled as particular kinds of priority queues. In a stack, the priority of each inserted element is monotonically increasing; thus, the last element inserted is always the first retrieved. In a queue, the priority of each inserted element is monotonically decreasing; thus, the first element inserted is always the first retrieved.
Naive implementations[edit]
There are a variety of simple, usually inefficient, ways to implement a priority queue. They provide an analogy to help one understand what a priority queue is. For instance, one can keep all the elements in an unsorted list. Whenever the highest-priority element is requested, search through all elements for the one with the highest priority. (In big O notation: O(1) insertion time, O(n) pull time due to search.)
Usual implementation[edit]
To improve performance, priority queues typically use a heap as their backbone, giving O(log n) performance for inserts and removals, and O(n) to build initially. Alternatively, when a self-balancing binary search tree is used, insertion and removal also take O(log n) time, although building trees from existing sequences of elements takes O(n log n) time; this is typical where one might already have access to these data structures, such as with third-party or standard libraries.
Note that from a computational-complexity standpoint, priority queues are congruent to sorting algorithms. See the next section for how efficient sorting algorithms can create efficient priority queues.
There are several specialized heap data structures that either supply additional operations or outperform these approaches. The binary heap uses O(log n) time for both operations, but also allows queries of the element of highest priority without removing it in constant time. Binomial heaps add several more operations, but require O(log n) time for requests. Fibonacci heaps can insert elements, query the highest priority element, and increase an element's priority in amortized constant time,[1] though deletions are still O(log n). Brodal queues can do this in worst-case constant time.
While relying on a heap is a common way to implement priority queues, for integer data, faster implementations exist. This can even apply to data types that have a finite range, such as floats:
- When the set of keys is {1, 2, ..., C}, a van Emde Boas tree would support the minimum, maximum, insert, delete, search, extract-min, extract-max, predecessor and successor operations in O(log log C) time, but has a space cost for small queues of about O(2m/2), where m is the number of bits in the priority value.[2]
- The Fusion tree algorithm by Fredman and Willard implements the minimum operation in O(1) time and insert and extract-min operations in time.[3]
For applications that do many "peek" operations for every "extract-min" operation, the time complexity for peek actions can be reduced to O(1) in all tree and heap implementations by caching the highest priority element after every insertion and removal. For insertion, this adds at most a constant cost, since the newly inserted element is compared only to the previously cached minimum element. For deletion, this at most adds an additional "peek" cost, which is typically cheaper than the deletion cost, so overall time complexity is not significantly impacted.
Equivalence of priority queues and sorting algorithms[edit]
Using a priority queue to sort[edit]
The semantics of priority queues naturally suggest a sorting method: insert all the elements to be sorted into a priority queue, and sequentially remove them; they will come out in sorted order. This is actually the procedure used by several sorting algorithms, once the layer of abstraction provided by the priority queue is removed. This sorting method is equivalent to the following sorting algorithms:
- Heapsort if the priority queue is implemented with a heap.
- Smoothsort if the priority queue is implemented with a Leonardo heap.
- Selection sort if the priority queue is implemented with an unordered array.
- Insertion sort if the priority queue is implemented with an ordered array.
- Tree sort if the priority queue is implemented with a self-balancing binary search tree.
Using a sorting algorithm to make a priority queue[edit]
A sorting algorithm can also be used to implement a priority queue. Specifically, Thorup says:[4]
We present a general deterministic linear space reduction from priority queues to sorting implying that if we can sort up to n keys in S(n) time per key, then there is a priority queue supporting delete and insert in O(S(n)) time and find-min in constant time.
That is, if there is a sorting algorithm which can sort in O(S) time per key, where S is some function of n and word size,[5] then one can use the given procedure to create a priority queue where pulling the highest-priority element is O(1) time, and inserting new elements (and deleting elements) is O(S) time. For example, if one has an O(n log log n) sort algorithm, one can create a priority queue with O(1) pulling and O(n log log n) insertion.
A priority queue is often considered to be a "container data structure".
The Standard Template Library (STL), and the C++ 1998 standard, specifies priority_queue
as one of the STL container adaptor class templates. It implements a max-priority-queue. Unlike actual STL containers, it does not allow iteration of its elements (it strictly adheres to its abstract data type definition). STL also has utility functions for manipulating another random-access container as a binary max-heap. The Boost (C++ libraries) also have an implementation in the library heap.
Python's heapq module implements a binary min-heap on top of a list.
Java's library contains a PriorityQueue
class, which implements a min-priority-queue.
Go's library contains a container/heap module, which implements a min-heap on top of any compatible data structure.
The Standard PHP Library extension contains the class SplPriorityQueue.
Apple's Core Foundation framework contains a CFBinaryHeap structure, which implements a min-heap.
Bandwidth management[edit]
Priority queuing can be used to manage limited resources such as bandwidth on a transmission line from a network router. In the event of outgoing traffic queuing due to insufficient bandwidth, all other queues can be halted to send the traffic from the highest priority queue upon arrival. This ensures that the prioritized traffic (such as real-time traffic, e.g. an RTP stream of a VoIP connection) is forwarded with the least delay and the least likelihood of being rejected due to a queue reaching its maximum capacity. All other traffic can be handled when the highest priority queue is empty. Another approach used is to send disproportionately more traffic from higher priority queues.
Many modern protocols for Local Area Networks also include the concept of Priority Queues at the Media Access Control (MAC) sub-layer to ensure that high-priority applications (such as VoIP or IPTV) experience lower latency than other applications which can be served with Best effort service. Examples include IEEE 802.11e (an amendment to IEEE 802.11 which provides Quality of Service) and ITU-T G.hn (a standard for high-speed Local area network using existing home wiring (power lines, phone lines and coaxial cables).
Usually a limitation (policer) is set to limit the bandwidth that traffic from the highest priority queue can take, in order to prevent high priority packets from choking off all other traffic. This limit is usually never reached due to high level control instances such as the Cisco Callmanager, which can be programmed to inhibit calls which would exceed the programmed bandwidth limit.
Discrete event simulation[edit]
Another use of a priority queue is to manage the events in a discrete event simulation. The events are added to the queue with their simulation time used as the priority. The execution of the simulation proceeds by repeatedly pulling the top of the queue and executing the event thereon.

Dijkstra's algorithm[edit]
When the graph is stored in the form of adjacency list or matrix, priority queue can be used to extract minimum efficiently when implementing Dijkstra's algorithm, although one also needs the ability to alter the priority of a particular vertex in the priority queue efficiently.
Huffman coding[edit]
Huffman coding requires one to repeatedly obtain the two lowest-frequency trees. A priority queue makes this efficient.
A* and SMA* search algorithms[edit]
The A* search algorithm finds the shortest path between two vertices or nodes of a weighted graph, trying out the most promising routes first. The priority queue (also known as the fringe) is used to keep track of unexplored routes; the one for which a lower bound on the total path length is smallest is given highest priority. If memory limitations make A* impractical, the SMA* algorithm can be used instead, with a double-ended priority queue to allow removal of low-priority items.
ROAM triangulation algorithm[edit]
The Real-time Optimally Adapting Meshes (ROAM) algorithm computes a dynamically changing triangulation of a terrain. It works by splitting triangles where more detail is needed and merging them where less detail is needed. The algorithm assigns each triangle in the terrain a priority, usually related to the error decrease if that triangle would be split. The algorithm uses two priority queues, one for triangles that can be split and another for triangles that can be merged. In each step the triangle from the split queue with the highest priority is split, or the triangle from the merge queue with the lowest priority is merged with its neighbours.

Wound PreventionAccidents happen and most people will sustain a wound regardless of how careful they might be. It is important to remember that when using tools at home or at work, to make certain they are being used in the appropriate manner and the appropriate precautions are taken. Often accidents occur because the person was in a rush, took a shortcut, or was using a tool in a way it wasn't designed. Protective gear is always appropriate. Wearing proper shoes or boots, wearing a bike helmet, or eye protection regardless of the situation, it is reasonable to prevent an injury. Next Page: Must Read Articles Related to Wound Care

State Governmental Relations
UC Sponsored Legislation
SB 1280 (Pavley) would provide that the University of California and California Community Colleges may utilize "best value" as a bid evaluation and selection methodology for certain contracts, and follows on the heels of a successful UC-sponsored bill from last year that provided similar authority for construction projects. The bill is awaiting action on the Governor's desk. Jason Murphy
AB 1533 (Mitchell) is co-sponsored by UC and the Medical Board of California to create a pilot program permitting International Medical Graduates to engage in hands-on clinical training in preparation for medical residency programs leading to the practice of medicine in California. The bill was signed into law on July 13, 2012. Angela Gilliard
AB 1663 (Dickinson) would request the UC Regents to set a tuition fee for the COSMOS program up to $2,810 for the 2012 session and continue to request that the Regents not increase that fee by more than 5% annually thereafter. Current Education Code language is outdated because it references the year 2000, with a tuition level of $1,000, as the base for future tuition increases. The bill is awaiting action on the Governor's desk. Nadia Leal-Carrillo
ACR 168 (Perez J) expresses congratulations and appreciation to the University of California Education Abroad Program (UCEAP) on its 50th Anniversary, for its historic and continued success in providing study abroad opportunities to Californians, and for advancing internationalization on University of California campuses and in the state. The resolution was adopted by the Legislature on August 29, 2012. Nadia Leal-Carrillo
SB 1028 (Sen Budget and Fiscal Review Cmte) would reallocate LRB funds previously provided for other UC capital projects for the preliminary plans and working drawings for a research building at UC Merced. This is UC's only state- supported capital activity for 2012-13. The bill is awaiting action on the Governor's desk. Jason Murphy

Boeing's 787 Dreamliner suffered a cracked cockpit window and an oil leak on separate flights in Japan on Friday - the latest in a series of incidents testing confidence in the sophisticated new aircraft.All Nippon Airways said a domestic flight from Tokyo landed safely at Matsuyama airport in western Japan after a crack developed on the cockpit windscreen, and the plane's return to Tokyo was cancelled.The same airline later said oil was found leaking from an engine of a 787 after the plane landed at Miyazaki airport in southern Japan. An airline spokeswoman said it later returned to Tokyo after some delay. No one was injured in either incident.The world's first carbon-composite airliner, which has a list price of USD$207 million, has been beset by problems this week. Some analysts say these are normal teething issues as a new plane enters service under close scrutiny. Others say the incidents could erode public confidence in the ground-breaking aircraft.US regulators have raised questions about the plane's reliability on long transoceanic routes, the Wall Street Journal reported.The 787 made its first commercial flight in late-2011, after a series of production delays put deliveries more than three years behind schedule. By the end of last year, Boeing had sold 848 Dreamliners, and delivered 49.Earlier this week, a battery fire caused damage to an empty 787 jet operated by Japan Airlines while it was on the ground at Boston airport. The next day, another JAL 787 spilled 40 gallons of fuel onto the taxiway at the same airport after a problem that caused a valve to open, forcing the plane to delay its departure. On Wednesday, ANA cancelled a domestic 787 flight due to a brake-control computer problem.Boeing's chief 787 engineer, Mike Sinnett, was rolled out midweek to defend the aircraft, saying the plane's problem rates were no higher than with Boeing's 777 jet.SPIDER WEB CRACKANA said crew noticed a spider web-like crack in a window in front of the pilot's seat about 70 minutes into Friday's flight, which was close to its destination."Cracks appear a few times every year in other planes. We don't see this as a sign of a fundamental problem" with Boeing aircraft, a spokesman for the airline said.On the later flight, the ANA spokeswoman said she could not specify how much oil leaked from the engine.Later on Friday, ANA - which, with JAL flies 24 of the 49 Dreamliners delivered by end-December - launched its maiden service between Tokyo's Narita Airport and San Jose, California with the 787.Jun Akiyama, a plane enthusiast who was taking photos at the airport ahead of the San Jose departure, said: "It's worrying. If there was a major accident lives would be at stake, and these defects are only increasing fears."But Yasushi Uesaka, a systems engineer from Osaka who was also taking pictures nearby, played down the incidents. "When new things come out, there will naturally be defects. That a lot of these defects didn't occur during flight means they're not too critical, I think."In India - where state-owned Air India has taken delivery of six 787s and has more on order - a senior official at the aviation regulator said there was concern at the recent spate of problems. The Directorate General of Civil Aviation has not ordered any 787 checks for now, but is waiting for a safety report from the US National Transportation Safety Board, the official said.Air India spokesman K. Swaminathan said the airline's debut 787 flight to Paris on Thursday went without a hitch.FUEL SAVINGSOne of Boeing's chief innovations with the 787 is its use of electrical power to run on-board functions such as hydraulics and air conditioning, instead of relying on heavier pneumatic systems used on other planes. The weight savings make the 787 more fuel efficient, a big advantage for airlines battling high jet fuel costs.To power the electrical system, the 787 uses generators attached to the plane's engines, which produce about 1.5 megawatts of power, enough to power about 300 hot water heaters. The system uses high-voltage distribution panels and powerful batteries, such as the one that caught fire in Boston on Monday.Makoto Yoda, president of Japanese battery maker GS Yuasa, which makes the 787's batteries, said his company was looking into Monday's fire, and was sending a team of engineers to cooperate with the US investigation.
