Certificate of Deposit Account Registry Service (CDARS)
Looking for a way to keep large deposits safe? Ask us about CDARS®. It's a great solution for: businesses * nonprofit organizations * public funds * IRAs
With CDARS, you can access FDIC protection on multi-million dollar CD investments through Bank of Georgetown. There are few guarantees in life – FDIC insurance is one of them. CDARS can be a valuable cash management or longer-term investment tool for you.*
Why CDARS? It's one-stop shopping. With help from CDARS, you can access:
•Safety – Your money can access multi-million dollar FDIC insurance coverage.
•Convenience – You work directly with us. You earn one interest rate and receive one regular statement, and one year-end tax form.
•Community Investment – The full value of your money can support lending opportunities in your local community.**
•CD-Level Rates – Your money earns CD-level returns which may compare favorably with other investment alternatives, including Treasuries, corporate sweep accounts, and money market funds.
How does CDARS work?
We are a member of a special network. When you place a large amount with us, we place your funds into CDs issued by other banks in the same network – in increments of less than the standard FDIC insurance maximum – so that both principal and interest are eligible for complete FDIC protection. As a result, you can receive coverage from many banks while working with just one.
These exchanges, which occur on a dollar-for-dollar basis, can bring the full amount of your original deposit back to our bank. As a result, we can make the full amount of your deposit available for community lending purposes. **
What else should I know?
Now, you no longer have to spend time managing multiple bank relationships, administering various interest rates, organizing interest disbursements from various sources, or manually consolidating monthly statements. This reduces your administrative burden, especially during tax and financial reporting seasons.
And with CDARS, you can eliminate the need to monitor changing collateral values – another time saving convenience.
Of course, your confidential account information remains protected. Ask us about how CDARS can work for you the next time you visit one of our branches, or email Bank of Georgetown for more information.
* Funds may be submitted for placement only after a depositor enters into the CDARS Deposit Placement Agreement with Bank of Georgetown. The agreement contains important information and conditions regarding the placement of funds by us.
** This benefit applies to some, but not all types of CDARS transactions. Let us know if this benefit is important to you, so that we can explain the relevant terms and conditions in more detail.
CDARS is a registered service mark of Promontory Interfinancial Network, LLC.

Gary Mezzi is a revered local rocker whose band Gone Native filled a much-needed gap in the early '90s New Haven local music scene by providing a rockabilly alternative. Gone Native evolved into the very popular local rock & roll act Big Bad Johns. He wrote some very funny and very catchy songs, the sort that are noticeable by their absence in the precious, self-obsessed present-day music scene.
You might not know him as Gary Mezzi, however. Onstage, he went by the rock moniker Buzz Gordo.
Gary works as a school librarian. Plus he's got kids. Which helps explain the circumstances of his solo show tonight (Monday, August 6). Gary's playing the Picnic & Performance series at 7 p.m. at the North Haven Public Library. As Buzz Gordo.
Gary's always had an endearing, goofy, entertaining style. He digs sounds which kids dig—roots, country & western, shouty. A few Gone Native and Big Bad Johns numbers, in retrospect, seem family-friendly: "Where's Waldo?," "Jump Up on It," "Groovy Girl," or the rockin' guitar arrangement of the Vince Guaraldi jazz piano standard "Lucy & Linus" from A Charlie Brown Christmas. ("Bar I Call Home," "Too Drunk (to Miss You)," "Hot Rods to Hell" and some of the Beat Farmers covers they did, not so much.
The way seems a natural as a children's entertainer.
If they let small children into roadhouses and biker bars, the Big Bad Johns would've been even more popular than they were.
I contacted Gary to see get his take on the latest Buzz. He responded:
"Many of Buzz Gordo's fans from his days as guitarist/songwriter for Big Bad Johns are now raising their own broods of little rockabillies. If they want to bring the young'uns to a kids' show that rocks, we suggest stopping by the North Haven Memorial Library (where Gordo, aka Gary Mezzi, is a former children's librarian) on Monday, 8/6, 7 PM. He and New Haven's hardest working drummer, Tom Smith, will be playing an eclectic set of original kids songs as well as some American folk music, rock 'n' roll and calypso, curated with the coolest of taste."
Tom Smith? Drummer for The Cobalt Rhythm Kings, The Hickups, The Bandidos, Dr. Ya Ya's Gumbo Party, and several other roots-rock and R&B outfits. He's also a published historian, author of the entrancing non-fiction opus The Crescent City Lynchings: The Murder of Chief Hennessy the New Orleans "Mafia" Trials and The Parish Prison Mob.
A rock duo who both have library cred. File them somewhere in the 700s. That's Dewey decimal classification for "Arts & Recreation."

Once More into the Immigration Law Process: A Familiar Road
Patricia Zapor
Catholic News Service
Saturday, February 02, 2013
People watch a video after receiving proof of U.S. citizenship during a ceremony in San Francisco Jan. 30.
WASHINGTON (CNS) — They've been down this road before — trying to pass a far-reaching reform of the U.S. immigration system.
The last time Congress passed a substantial immigration reform law in 1986, then-Father Nicholas DiMarzio, as director of Migration and Refugee Services for the U.S. Catholic bishops, was a part of coalition-building among interest groups such as the National Council of La Raza and the AFL-CIO.
"It was a whole different political scene," said now-Bishop DiMarzio of Brooklyn, N.Y. "Bipartisanship was possible. I don't know how it's going to work this time."
In the mid-1980s, the problem of millions of immigrants being in the country without permission to be here was a relatively new issue, he told Catholic News Service. The situation affected around 5 million people in perhaps 10 states, mostly along the Mexican border plus New York, Florida and Illinois.
Today, an estimated 11 million people lack legal immigration status and they live throughout the country. The list of states with the fastest-growing populations of immigrants includes Tennessee, North Carolina, Arkansas, Delaware and Wyoming.
The past history of the kind of coalition-building it took to pass previous immigration legislation may bear lessons for today as Congress launches what may be the best chance for comprehensive reforms since the era of the Iran-Contra Affair and the initial public stock offering for Microsoft.
A bipartisan panel of senators Jan. 28 presented the key elements they support, including creating a path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, strengthening border security, streamlining legal immigration options and improving systems for verifying eligibility for work.
A day later, President Barack Obama outlined a similar but more comprehensive list of his goals for immigration legislation. The White House later said he hopes to sign a bill by the middle of 2013. The House kicks off hearings on immigration reform Feb. 5.
Obama's and the Senate panel's proposals have been cautiously praised by a phalanx of organizations, representing faith groups, civil rights organizations and employers. Among those, Jesuit Father Thomas H. Smolich, president of the Jesuit Conference of the United States, said the order is encouraged by the bipartisan tone of the senators' proposal, though some aspects raise concerns. "A genuine understanding of the realities faced by border communities will yield the best policy," he said.
Los Angeles Archbishop Jose H. Gomez, chairman of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops Committee on Migration, hit on a common theme of many faith groups' responses in welcoming the the senators' framework, particularly its inclusion of a path to citizenship, but he said it leaves room for improvement in the areas such as due process rights and the root causes of migration.
Since more than 70 percent of Hispanic voters supported Obama in the 2012 election over rival Mitt Romney, Republican leaders who saw that margin as crucial to the defeat of their candidate have moved swiftly to restart efforts at fixing an immigration system that is widely described as broken.
One example of the range of political and economic heft behind the issue was a press conference in mid-January held under the title "Forging Consensus," at which a panel of mostly Republicans talked about how they will energize their constituencies. It included Thomas Donahue, president and CEO of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce; Johnny Young, director of MRS for the USCCB; Indiana Attorney General Gregory F. Zoeller and former Commerce Secretary Carlos Gutierrez, now vice chairman of Citigroup.
Gutierrez announced at the event that he was forming a political action committee to support Republican politicians who back comprehensive immigration reform. The economy has not been well served by the current immigration system, Gutierrez said, and 2013 offers the first real shot at getting reforms passed since 2007.
"If we don't get it right, it's going to be another six years before we have another shot," he said.
For more than 20 years, periodic efforts pushed at times by Democrats as well as Republicans, by Presidents George W. Bush and Bill Clinton have gotten as far as votes in one body of Congress before falling apart.
For historical perspective on the last law that helped legalize millions of undocumented immigrants, CNS stories from the 1980s reported on multiple bills being introduced and considered in Congress. Several of those the U.S. Catholic Conference, as it was known at the time, generally supported, though church leaders voiced concerns over certain aspects. For instance, a 1985 resolution of the U.S. bishops opposed employer sanctions for hiring undocumented workers, out of fear that the workers would suffer repercussions. They also called for a secure employment identification system.
More than 2.6 million people had their status legalized under the 1986 Immigration Reform and Control Act, known as IRCA, which also included provisions for employer verification and new border security measures.
It was the only time in recent history that the U.S. had a mass legalization that wasn't directed at a specific population, such as the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 and the 1943 repeal of Chinese exclusion laws, explained Don Kerwin, director of the Center for Migration Studies and acting director of the Catholic Legal Immigration Network, known as CLINIC.
When the 1986 immigration measure was being worked out in Congress, Kerwin was a law student, doing some work with immigrants. He later went on to be CLINIC director for 15 years and then to study topics including immigration legalization at the Migration Policy Institute.
The bishops' 1985 fears about workers suffering for employer sanctions proved to be true, Kerwin said.
"IRCA for the first time made it illegal to hire workers without documents," he said. "And there is a widely recognized connection between people being pushed farther underground and more subject to labor abuses."
Kerwin said that eventually created a climate ripe for the state legislative efforts of the last few years that aim to push undocumented immigrants to move away rather than contend with restrictions such as legal residency requirements to rent houses or to get driver's licenses.

vacation rental description
A gold-star property that's sure to win your high praise as well. Updated in June 2013, Cinnamon Beach 832 sets itself apart; its high-quality photos suggest an altogether elevated level of detail from first look to last glance. A spacious condo for a big group or family, you'll revel in its generous appointment of kitchen, bath and electronic amenities – including free WiFi!
A beautiful balcony accommodates your whole group but, if it's the pool you prefer, Unit 832 is ideally situated to all the resort's facilities, including its two pools. Cinnamon Beach earns consistent rave reviews from parents for its kid-friendly set-up, and family time is just as easily enjoyed within #832 – no matter your children's range of ages. Start with dolphin-watching from your own private balcony, with palm tree-shaped pancakes you made together.
Arrive eager to hit the beach. Or the pool. Or both! Unit 832 makes either option enticing from sunrise, and is such a relaxing home when you need a break from the sun or want to enjoy a movie, catch up on email or cook a family dinner together.
Elevator access means it's easy to transport strollers, luggage or beach gear to and from your car, nor will you ever tire of the enjoyable beach to pool to condo circuit. This is a vacation experience really centred on your ease and convenience.
A large unit, Cinnamon Beach 832 sleeps up to eight adults but equally suits families with children of all ages. Rather than inconveniently squeeze on to a sleeper sofa, all eight guests have a bed of their own. The three bedrooms each occupy a separate corner of the unit, so there's great privacy and really suits a group on different schedules. A master suite has a king bed, with a queen-sized bed in the second bedroom. Beach access, dolphins and kids' pool aside, it might be bunk beds that your children look forward to the most. A cleverly furnished third bedroom has a double bed and two singles; whether you prefer to use it for a kids' room or for the four in your group who stay up the latest.
A fully equipped kitchen is on your side to cook elaborate family meals, or just microwave some popcorn to enjoy as you choose from a 250+ channel cable package on the digital TV. A side-by-side fridge/freezer puts the ice cream at eye level and leaves ample space for iced drinks when you come home from the beach. Love to entertain? Start off happy hour with drinks and appetizers on your ocean-view balcony, then perhaps dine formally at the elegant dining table. All cookware and utensils are included with your rental of condo 832.
If the sound of the ocean isn't the ultimate amenity, how about HDTV with Blu-ray? Find cable TV (250 channels) and DVD players in each of the bedrooms as well, just in case you finish your beach book early. Personalize your space with a soundtrack all your own; just use the iPod dock to feel at home instantly, as you unpack into spacious dressers and roomy closets. Or bring just the very basics, happy in the knowledge there's an in-suite washer and dryer.(The only thing Cinnamon Beach 832 doesn't have? No smoking!)
Cinnamon Beach 832 sits within a fantastically equipped resort: two pools means one for the kids and a quieter pool for sedate swimming and napping on your sun bed. No matter where you find yourself when the beach calls, access is always easy with three private boardwalks available. En route, there's beautiful landscaping wherever you turn.
Further ideas to add to your Cinnamon Beach vacation itinerary include time at the spa, a sunset cruise and plenty of beach picnics. Palm Coast is a great golf destination as well, and historic St. Augustine is a very worthwhile day trip.

The Miracle of Life
The Miracle of Life
by Chris W. Ashcraft, MS., M.Ed
The origin of life remains the theory of evolution's most significant obstacle. More than 150 years after Darwin published his theory, and following exhaustive efforts, evolutionists are no closer to solving the riddle of how life began. Despite countless attempts using every conceivable condition, biochemists have been unable to produce genetic information (DNA) and/or proteins in a simulated natural environment and thereby show how even the simplest cell could have formed without intelligent design.
This presentation will examine the origin of life and illustrate that evolution is simply without a foundation. Life began through the actions of a God of supreme intelligence and creative power - actions that could never be reproduced by mere humans and will never be explained without reference to intelligent causation.
This video file is a 60 minute seminar by Chris Ashcraft that was recorded during the Seattle Creation Conference, October 2010.
About the Speaker:
Christopher Wayne Ashcraft is a creation scientist, speaker, and educator. He obtained the Bachelor of Science in biology from Wayland Baptist University in 1989, a Master of Science in biology from Texas Tech University in 1996, and a Master of Education from the University of Washington in 2008.
Chris was a research technician for 12 years specialized in plant tissue culture and genetic transformation technology, and is now a high school science teacher at Cedar Park Christian Schools where he teaches Biology, Chemistry, Human Anatomy and Physiology, and Creation Apologetics.
He moved from research into teaching in response to a call from God to work in creation science missions. He is firmly committed to researching and teaching creation apologetics and speaks periodically at churches, schools, and creation organizations in the Northwest United States. He is the founder of the Northwest Creation Network and the CreationWiki internet encyclopedia where he serves as senior administrator. He also organizes the Seattle Creation Conference
The Miracle of Life
Creation Biology
Creation Biology is the study of biological processes and organisms, while operating under the assumption that God created life on Earth. The discipline is premised on the idea that God created a finite number of discrete created kinds or baramin. While these forms of life have the ability to vary and even undergo speciation, they cannot arise spontaneously from non-life, cannot interbreed outside of their kind, and cannot increase in genetic complexity.

I think the reason why some of us don't like the fakery, as quite often, it starts off as asking about names but then some drama follows.
There was one poster claiming to be expecting multiples (I think it was triplets or possible even quads), and what started off as asking about names (harmless enough) became more sinister, when she started to share stories of health complications and asking everyone to pray for "her babies". Berries were investing emotionally into her story. However, she ended up making it so far-fetched, it soon became obvious it was fake and she was outed.
The fact that fakery over names, can easily lead to something else, that's why I think some of us prefer to see it nipped in the bud.
And lets face it, people don't need to fake such stories, because Nameberry isn't a parenting site where non-parents might feel awkward posting about names. This is a name site, so anyone can post about names, so no-one would be "laughed at" for simply posting about their "dream quad names".

Wow. I understand that it might be fun to fake sometimes, but the deaths? That seems quite extreme. Once I saw a thread where a user claimed she was having quintuplets, and she already had twins. That made me chuckle.

aw man I was like "alas, math!" and then all of the numbers went whoosh right over my head like first order derivatives or possibly an airplane
I don't understand why people think they need to concoct some bizarre fantasy life or create phantom children/fetuses in order to discuss names. Is it that they're gluttons for feedback and think the best way to max out the number of replies to their threads is to lead other posters to believe they're expecting? (Incidentally, do posters who claim that they are expectant parents get more replies to their threads? My gut says yes, but listening to my gut is no valid form of statistical analysis.) Is it some kind of vicarious living/wish fulfillment thing? Or do they just get a rush out of screwing with people?
I don't mind fakers too much unless they start to get creepy. For example, when people try to pass off pictures of other people as themselves/their family: that is creepy. Ughon my mind, for the moment

49ers draft Eric Reid after trade-up with Cowboys
The San Francisco 49ers drafted LSU defensive back Eric Reid with the 18th pick in the 2013 NFL Draft, moving up 13 spots in a trade with the Dallas Cowboys to grab him.
The 49ers and Cowboys swapped first-round picks, and the 49ers added a third-round pick (No. 74) to the deal.
Reid was the second safety taken in the first round. He went three picks after the New Orleans Saints selected Texas' Kenny Vaccaro. Reid had 91 tackles, seven pass breakups and two interceptions in his final season with the Tigers.
The #49ers have traded picks 31 (1st round) and 74 (3rd round) for Dallas' pick at 18. They select LSU safety Eric Reid. #draft49

Deputies with the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office arrested an 18-year-old man for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon after he allegedly grabbed the steering wheel of a car driven by a his mother and caused a one-vehicle accident.
Paul Moreno, 18, of Nacogdoches, was arrested and taken to a Nacogdoches hospital and he was treated for his injuries and released. He was charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon causing bodily injury-family violence, a first-degree felony. No bond has been set at this time.
According to Chief Deputy Terry Maston of the Nacogdoches County Sheriff's Office, NCSO deputies and a Department of Public Safety trooper responded to a report of a major one-vehicle accident on FM 2863 at about 9:41 p.m. Tuesday.
DPS Trooper John Henley said Mariana Moreno, Paul Moreno's mother, was driving a Ford Explorer, and her son was in the right front passenger seat. Her grandson was in the back seat.
"Mr. Moreno was highly intoxicated," Henley said. "He and his mother got into an argument over the fact that he was drunk, and he grabbed the steering wheel, causing the vehicle to go off the road and roll over."
The Explorer wound up on its roof. Henley said all three of the vehicle's occupants were wearing seatbelts when the wreck occurred. As a result, all three people only received minor injuries and were treated and released.
Maston said that, in this case, the deadly weapon in question was the Ford Explorer.

There's probably not a single reasonable American voter supporting either presidential candidate who believes their man has an inherently strong personal interest and vast understanding of the issues important to the average sportsman and woman.
But just because neither President Barack Obama nor Gov. Mitt Romney fully comprehend the individual fulfillment one gains from hunting South Dakota ringnecks over a dog with good friends, sitting solo in a deer stand on a crisp Midwestern morning, or hearing an elk bugle among the quaking aspens of Colorado, both candidates—and, more importantly, their campaign staff—understand the vital importance American sportsmen carry as a voting bloc.
And that's precisely the reason why each campaign reaches out to sportsmen to some degree, as evidenced by Sportsmen for Obama and Sportsmen for Romney.
"Under the President's leadership, conservation programs are protecting the nation's natural resources, while providing significant economic and environmental benefits to rural communities and building valuable habitat for wildlife," states the information contained on the Sportsmen for Obama website. "The Obama administration is working with more than 500,000 farmers and ranchers to implement conservation practices on nearly 30 million acres of land. The President is also investing in projects in all 50 states to conserve wildlife and habitat and to create outdoor recreation jobs."
The Sportsmen for Romney Coalition, whose national co-chairs include Jeff Foxworthy, a co-blogger here at HuntingClub.com, asserts, "Mitt Romney has strong and growing support among our nation's conservationists and outdoor enthusiasts."
In Gov. Romney's words: "We are blessed with great natural beauty as well. It is the sportsmen and women of America who keep safe that natural wealth for this generation and many more to come. Hunters, fishermen, sports-shooters, and outdoors enthusiasts not only create millions of jobs and pump billions of dollars into our economy, they stand on the forefront of defending our Second Amendment rights and protecting the natural wonder of our nation. If I am fortunate enough to become president, they will have a friend in the White House."
The long and arduous campaign—along with the months of heated rhetoric and accusations from both sides—will thankfully come to an end in just a few days.
Here at the "Headline Hunter" blog, we're not suggesting or endorsing any candidate or party. Instead, we simply encourage our readers to exercise the blessed right we've been endowed by our forefathers, and go to the polls on or before November 6 and cast your ballot.
And let us know when you do!

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- For once, West Virginia's anglers won't have to fish in dried-up streams during the fall trout-stocking season.
Unusually wet weather during the summer has many trout streams flowing in their normal range, and those that are low aren't critically so. Tom Oldham, a fisheries biologist for the state Division of Natural Resources, said overall stream conditions are "better than usual."
"It's been a really wet summer," he said. "Streams won't be full, but they'll probably have more water than usual for this time of year. With the wet summer, there's probably a better chance that trout have carried over from the spring, and that should lead to better fishing than usual."
This fall's stockings are scheduled to begin Oct. 15. Oldham said hatchery crews would stock 27 streams and eight lakes. He added, however, that hatcheries have fewer trout to stock this year.
"We'll be stocking roughly 30,000 pounds of trout. That's a little less than we've had in the past. It's kind of strange, because with all the water we had in our hatcheries you'd think production would be better. But you never really know what you have until you do the inventory, and that's what our inventory says we have," he explained.
All those fish will be stocked in nine days - four days on the week beginning Oct. 14, and five days the following week. As usual, the stockings will be a combination of young fish and trophy-sized "brood fish."
"We try to do a combination of both," Oldham said. "Some of the fish will be bigger than you're expecting, and some will be smaller. That's the mixed bag you get in the fall."
Getting the right mix of species and sizes to each stream can be a challenge. Oldham said hatcheries spend the weeks leading up to the stockings transferring tons of fish from one facility to another.
"You would not believe the movements it takes ... to get these fish to where they're needed," he added. "It takes a lot of time and a lot of effort, but we do it because we want our sportsmen to enjoy a quality experience."
Oldham said DNR officials perform the fall stockings so hunters can get in a little trout fishing while they're afield.

In this hands-on activity, visitors explore the structure of seashells and learn that seashells are a composite material made of both inorganic and organic materials. Visitors compare the mechanical properties of plaster bricks and dried sheets of glue, which helps them discover that both toughness and hardness are important mechanical properties. To see what a shell would be like if it were not so tough, visitors try to break normal shells and shells that have been either baked or soaked in bleach.

I joined the UK firm in 1995, straight after university. I spent three years working in financial services and then moved to the consumer, industrial products and services practice. My first significant leadership opportunity came in 2001, when I went to Genesis Park in the US for five months (Genesis Park is PwC's professional development programme for high-potential staff). When I came back to the UK, I had a big role on a very key client account which I held for a couple of years. I then had even bigger roles with other clients and felt I could make a real difference. I still serve these clients today.
I think it's important for an organisation to accept that there are times for people to accelerate and decelerate. I think people should be encouraged to be open about when they do or do not want a further challenge. If you are labelled a high flier, there's constant pressure to take on special projects and contribute to work which is a compliment, but can be quite exhausting and stressful. I don't think this is a gender issue though.
I hate the idea of positive discrimination. We need to guard against recruiting and promoting in an image, and people don't even realise that they are doing it.
Successful women are often "the norm" — together we can change the partnership.

I have made a number of upgrades to functions and customizations I've previously blogged about, so this post is going to be an aggregation of these improvements. Think of it as a 'corrections' post.
In a previous post, I talked about updating imenu-generic-expression for java to work with functions with generic types or annotated arguments. The regular expression there is somewhat inadequate: if you used horrible spacing conventions, it could thing an if statement was a function. This new hook for java-mode to set imenu-generic-expression fixes this case by actually breaking out the annotations, types, and variable names, without just mixing them together as in the previous version.
(add-hook 'java-mode-hook '(lambda () (setq imenu-generic-expression `((nil ,(concat "[" c-alpha "_][\]\[." c-alnum "_<> ]+[ \t\n\r]+" ; type spec "\\([" c-alpha "_][" c-alnum "_]+\\)" ; method name "[ \t\n\r]*" ;; An argument list htat is either empty or contains any number ;; of arguments. An argument is any number of annotations ;; followed by a type spec followed by a word. A word is an ;; identifier. A type spec is an identifier, possibly followed ;; by < typespec > possibly followed by []. (concat "(" "\\(" "[ \t\n\r]*" "\\(" "@" "[" c-alpha "_]" "[" c-alnum "._]""*" "[ \t\n\r]+" "\\)*" "\\(" "[" c-alpha "_]" "[\]\[" c-alnum "_.]*" "\\(" "<" "[ \t\n\r]*" "[\]\[.," c-alnum "_<> \t\n\r]*" ">" "\\)?" "\\(\\[\\]\\)?" "[ \t\n\r]+" "\\)" "[" c-alpha "_]" "[" c-alnum "_]*" "[ \t\n\r,]*" "\\)*" ")" "[ \t\n\r]*" "{" )) 1))) ))
The following are a few utilities I wrote in order to write functions such as my-grep. my-fn will take a function with one argument and a prompt, and execute that function with a default of the current word. Defun-my is a macro that defines both the original function and an interactive 'my' version of the function. The new my-grep has the same effect as the old my-grep, but uses my-fn.
(defun my-fn (fn prompt) "When given a function taking one argument and applying a function to it, will use that function and default to the word at point, with a prompt including that word." (let ((default (current-word))) (let ((needle (read-string (concat prompt " <" default ">: ")))) (if (equal needle "") (funcall fn default) (funcall fn needle))))) (defmacro defun-my (name prompt &rest body) "Will define both a function and a my- version of the function, which defaults to the word at point." `(progn (defun ,name (arg) ,@body) (defun ,(intern (concat "my-" (symbol-name name))) () (interactive) (my-fn (quote ,name) ,prompt)))) (defun my-grep nil "Grep the whole directory for something defaults to term at cursor position" (interactive) (my-fn (lambda (arg) (grep (concat "egrep -s -i -n -r " arg " * " ))) "grep for"))
I also used defun-my in order to upgrade java-describe. The new 'my-java-descibe-class' does the same thing, except it defaults to the word at point. I also renamed it to java-describe-class, since I've been working on some other Java utilities and wanted to make this name more specific.
(defun-my java-describe-class "Open Javadoc for Class" "Loads javadoc for specified class in your browser." (interactive "MClass Name: ") (let ((my-string (replace-regexp-in-string "^.*class-use/.*\n" "" (shell-command-to-string (concat "find ~/.emacs.d/documentation/java/ -name " arg ".html")) ))) (string-match "^\\(.*\\)$" my-string) (browse-url (match-string 0 my-string)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-x j c") 'my-java-describe-class)
I also upgraded my-help, a function that gives documentation on whatever the point is on. It now checks to see if the buffer is a java buffer; if so, we open the javadoc for the current word instead of calling man on it. I was going to switch the order of checking whether a function or symbol was described first, in the case where a function and variable have the same name, but the issue then is that since function-called-at-point will return the calling function if you are anywhere in a function call, it would frequently mask variable lookup.
(defun my-help () "If function given tries to `describe-function' if variable uses 'describe-variable', otherwise uses `manual-entry' to display manpage of a `current-word'." (interactive) (let ((var (variable-at-point)) (fn (function-called-at-point))) (if (symbolp var) (describe-variable var) (if fn (describe-function fn) (if (eq major-mode 'java-mode) (java-describe (current-word)) (man (current-word)))))))
I previously just added visual-line-mode to text-mode-hook, which actually toggled visual-line-mode in the buffer and could lead to strange behaviour. This correction turns visual-line-mode on when entering text modes.
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook '(lambda nil (visual-line-mode 1)))
A reader suggested this improvement in the comments of this post. This will open the current file as sudo at the current position; the old function would lose the position you were at.
(defun sudo-edit-current-file () (interactive) (let ((pos (point))) (find-alternate-file (concat "/sudo:root@localhost:" (buffer-file-name (current-buffer)))) (goto-char pos)))
Yank-pop is an advice I describe here to properly indent code fragments. I implemented a suggestion I received in the comments of the linked post in order to make it work better when transient-mark-mode is enabled.
(defadvice yank-pop (after indent-region activate) (if (member major-mode '(emacs-lisp-mode scheme-mode lisp-mode c-mode c++-mode objc-mode latex-mode plain-tex-mode)) (let ((mark-even-if-inactive transient-mark-mode)) (indent-region (region-beginning) (region-end) nil))))
I created a few new functions to keep track of how long each of my customization files take to load. While load time isn't a problem for me right now, and I could easily fix it if it was by byte-compiling my customizations(right now, the only compiled elisp file I have that is not part of GNU Emacs core is js2.el), I do want to be able to account for what is taking the most time to load. While emacs-init-time tells me how long emacs took to initialize in total, I want a more fine-grained solution. I implemented this by defining time-load-file, a function that would load a file and return a pair consisting of the filename and the time taken to load it in seconds, and changing load-directory to use time-load-file instead of load-file. By saving the results of load-directory, I have a permanent record of the time taken to load each file.
(defun time-load-file (file) "Loads a file and returns a pair consisting of the filename and the time in seconds it took to load." (let ((prev-time (float-time))) (load-file file) (cons file (- (float-time) prev-time)))) (defun load-directory (dir) "Loads every .el file in a directory." (mapcar 'time-load-file (directory-files dir t "\\.el\\'"))) (setq customizations-directory-load-times (load-directory "~/.emacs.d/customizations/")) (setq util-directory-load-times (load-directory "~/.emacs.d/utilities/"))
That's all I have for now, but I will no doubt improve my customizations further, so once I amass a suitable number I'll do another one of these posts. If you see anything that should be corrected or could be improved in any of my posts, please leave a comment.

Crop tops have been an interesting trend this season for a few reasons. I prefer a crop top paired with something high-waisted as opposed to the 1990's trend of a short shirt with hip-hugging jeans. Both because the current is more flattering on myself and I have mixed feelings on bared midriffs. But, browsing the local boutiques over the last couple of months, shirts that are hip-length or longer seem to have disappeared. It's like, crop-top or no top. What? I mean, I understand the social and financial power of trends but no one needs a closet full of crop-tops.
I found this crocheted lace top in a small clothing shop and it became the first shorter shirt added to my wardrobe. I love the dash of sass it adds to a night out.

If you're heading to the gym before or after work, or in between errands, a gym bag is essential. But which items do you actually need to pack? Here's a handy list:
Forget hot wings and beer. If you're serious about health and fitness, you need to skip the sports bar and instead, set your sights on a different kind of bar - the kind that nourishes and energizes your body.
Protein bars are one type of food bar that are popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts. Protein bars provide the body with muscle-fueling protein (duh), as well as other essential nutrients. For busy, active people who prefer to eat several small meals per day, protein bars may work well as an on-the-go meal replacement.
For those who need a little dietary support, nutrition bars are a good choice - they're typically packed with vitamins and minerals. Look for nutrition bars that are made from real foods, such as whole grains and dried fruit.
Need fast fuel? Energy bars may do the trick. With fast-burning carbs, energy bars are a quick way to kick start your workout or other activity. Be mindful of the calorie content, as and your own personal dietary needs, as some energy bars may contain .
If you're on a special diet, look for low-carb bars that provide energy and nourishment without excess sugar and simple carbs.
Vitacost.com is raising the bar - with a wide selection of nutrition, energy, low-carb and protein bars all available at amazing everyday low prices!

The state Public Utility Commission really wants electric users to switch from their utility to one of the dozens of alternative suppliers.
But PPL Electric Utilities inadvertently keeps giving electric users more motivation to stick with them.
PPL will cut its residential rate by 4.1 percent Friday, reflecting the cheaper prices it's paying to obtain power on the wholesale market.
This latest change, announced Tuesday, is the third consecutive quarterly rate reduction for PPL.

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)

The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
This entry was originally posted on February 13, 2010. While the question of evolutionary predisposition toward religious belief may be challenging, Christians need not see it as threatening. In fact, this is actually a Pauline notion that is explored in Romans 1, where Paul claims that it is in mankind's nature to "know God".
I was raised in a household of atheists. My parents were card-carrying members of the American Communist Party, and therefore the atheism in my household was quite close to the militant anti-theism of the so-called "new atheists".
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.
Christian theology asserts that humans are spiritual creatures, a unity of body and spirit or "soul," integrated, not reducible downwards to mere matter or upwards to mere spirit.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
In this video conversation, N.T. Wright discusses how the Enlightenment worldview -- which clearly separates God from the world -- has impacted our view of Scripture, and why cleaning the "spectacles" through which we view the world can help us see both Scripture and the world more clearly.
Although committed to the principle of sola Scriptura, Calvin recognized that the Bible would have been written in terms its original recipients would have understood. Calvin inherited the medieval cosmology of his time, a way of viewing the world heavily influenced by Greek thought and one which was about to receive shocks from astronomers such as Copernicus and Galileo. But not just yet.
This series by Denis Alexander reflects on advancements in genomics as well as their theological implications. He focuses on the relatedness of hominin genomes, arguing that this does not interfere with the image of God in humans. The image of God depends more on the capacity for relationship and covenant, not on a list of particular physical qualities. He then discusses why the recent studies of genomics provide "no grounds for genetic determinism."
Once we have a scientific hypothesis for how something exists, it is tempting to make the philosophical inference that this is also why it exists.
Augustine had a great deal to say about those chapters in Genesis that are especially controversial within Christianity today.
In this series, David Buller pays careful attention to the original language and cultural context of Genesis 2, revealing that our responsibility to care for creation is a sacred task given to us by God, not merely a modern secular activity. By taking Scripture seriously, we learn that we have a God-given mandate to be diligent stewards of His creation.
Do you believe in God? If a cadre of outspoken, strong atheists wrote a litmus test for scientists, that might very well be question #1.
To say something is poetic is not to declare it ultimately untrue, futile and meaningless—it is to say it is more profound and meaningful and true than many other modes of expression.
In this talk, originally delivered at the BioLogos President's Circle meeting in October 2012, Dr. John Walton discusses the origin stories of Genesis 1-3, and why their focus on function and archetypes mean there is no Biblical narrative of material origins.

Published: Feb. 18, 2009
Updated: June 2, 2010
By Michael Gowan
How can you eat fewer calories and not feel hungry? Pump up the volume.
The volume -- or amount -- of food you eat is key to making you feel full, Elisabetta Politi, nutrition manager of the Duke Diet & Fitness Center (DFC), says. This weight loss theory is practiced everyday at DFC.
Politi credits Barbara Rolls of Penn State University with the research behind this practice. Rolls' research shows that satiety -- fullness -- is based on the volume we eat, not the number of calories we take in.
For example, if you get half the amount of food you are used to at lunch, you are going to feel hungry. If you get substantially more than you usually receive, you are going to feel full.
"A lot of DFC clients comment that they eat a lot less calories than at home, but not less volume. They feel full, but they are eating a lot less calories as at home," Politi says.
DFC clients come with food records of what they are eating at home. The food logs indicate that clients often eat twice as many calories at home compared to what they eat within the DFC program. By providing the same volume of food they were eating at home -- but with fewer calories -- DFC clients are able to lose weight without feeling like they are starving.
Politi offers a simple tip for adding more volume (and fewer calories) to your meals -- start your meal with a salad or vegetable based soup to help curb your appetite.

'Simple Gifts' event to showcase artistic talents
From ceramics, jewelry, and knitted items to poetry readings and music, the hallways of the Washington Studios Artists' Co-op in downtown Duluth will be bustling this weekend as it hosts its annual holiday show. This year's theme, "Simple Gifts," was decided upon by members of the co-op in an effort to show community members what the holiday season is all about. "I think the show is based around the simple things that make the holidays special for most of us," said Ryan Tischer, gallery chair of the Washington Gallery Committee. "You don't have to go out and buy extravagant gifts to enjoy your holiday. It's not about the materialistic things."

Superior meeting will inform seniors of medical benefits

A town hall meeting will be held in Superior today to inform seniors of the types of benefits available under the new federal Affordable Care Act.
The Wisconsin Alliance for Retired Americans and Know Your Care Wisconsin are trying to highlight the free benefits available to senior citizens through the health insurance reform law pushed by President Obama, reviled by critics as Obamacare.
The meeting starts at 9:30 a.m. at the Superior Public Library, 1530 Tower Ave.
Doug Hill is the director of Know Your Care Wisconsin, a nonprofit, nonpartisan organization dedicated to educating the public about the Affordable Care Act. He says one of the biggest hurdles he's facing is getting people to understand the law and how it affects them.
"With any piece of public policy there's going to be some questions, and I think sometimes people are looking for an easy, quick answer," he said. "But oftentimes there's not an easy, quick answer and you need to take some personal responsibility and understand how certain types of laws and public policy affect you."
Although Gov. Scott Walker turned down federal aid to implement the health-care law, Hill said the federal government will come in and set up an exchange where citizens can compare and choose private insurance plans that best suit their needs.
Wisconsin Public Radio can be heard in the Twin Ports at 91.3 FM or online at wpr.org/news.
