David S. Gallant
Why David S. Gallant should go to IndieCade, and the value of communal patronage
It's hard to create things when you're worried about paying rent.
David S. Gallant created the interesting game I Get This Call Everyday, and was fired for his troubles. The game was written up in many places, and ended up making Gallant around $13,000, which he has been living on since January. Now Gallant has launched an Indiegogo drive to make it to IndieCade.
Communal patronage
He's asking for $650, and the rewards for donors are small. "This is a really selfish request. I want to go to IndieCade to experience IndieCade. I can't guarantee that it will inspire me to make a new game, or that I will make powerful connections for future collaborations, or even that I'll have a good time," Gallant states. "I'm only asking you to help if you care at all about seeing me at IndieCade, either because you're going too, or you have some vested interest in my well-being."
Rock Paper Shotgun ran an interesting article about why this campaign should raise much more than $650, and I've personally donated to a number of this sort of personal campaign, and promoted them on Twitter. Sometimes it's for sending a writer to an event who represents a community I'd like to hear from. Other times it's a designer who is just trying to grow creatively. In every case it's someone who I trust will do great things.
And those great things may not come tomorrow, or even this year. It's hard to know what sending someone like Gallant to a single event will lead to, or how it will improve gaming.
It also might not do anything, and Gallant ends up getting another soul-crushing job in six months, and we never hear from him again. That's the worst case scenario though; gaming has a bad case of soul-rot and the more people we're able to keep in the mix so they can create interesting games, the better.
On the other hand, maybe Gallant will meet another artists and hit it off, or maybe he'll have a conversation with another designer that sparks the idea for a game that changes everything. Or he gives another designer an idea that plants a seed that grows into an amazing game that never would have happened otherwise. The idea is that, as a group, we can keep interesting people in the mix, and I'm sure that good things will happen if we do.
The risks are small, the rewards are potentially great
We worry about over-funding Kickstarters, but in cases like this it's impossible to over-fund the campaign. Any money not being spent on the show will go towards rent, and groceries, and not having to worry about basic needs while an artist creates things. We're not crowd sourcing a product, we're crowd sourcing a person, in an act of communal patronage.
It's worth the $10 or so to me that I would have spent on a coffee or two to make sure someone who is making something makes more things. The lack of a direct reward only makes it more exciting. A Kickstarter is for one game, one thing, one idea. Patronage on a personal level helps an entire person grow creatively, and the potential is limitless.
It could be you don't have extra money, and that's okay. It could be that you don't think this particular fund is worth supporting, and that's fine too. But I don't think Gallant is being selfish or entitled by starting the campaign, and the idea that the community at large may be willing to pay to help other artists survive until they have a breakthrough is empowering.
I don't know what Gallant will make next, but I do know that I want to see it, and I want people like him at events adding to the creative energy within themselves.
We live in a world of free-to-play, of arguments over advertising that supports free content, and many people now think that $3 is way too much to pay for a mobile game. I don't like many of the ways content pays for itself these days, so it feels amazing to throw a few bucks at someone who does interesting stuff with the idea that hopefully they'll travel a bit, get inspired, and do something great.
Or maybe they won't. But if that's the case, we're only out a little bit of money most of us will barely miss, and the future rewards could be great. I'm happy to spend a little bit of money gambling on people I admire, and I'm going to continue to do so. I think you should as well.

|A hunting buddy — other than your dog — can help you mark your point of the shot while you search.
Every bird hunter dreams of the perfect day afield with crisp, cool fall mornings and antsy dogs anxious to wind that first bird of the new season. Picture perfect points, flushes, shots and retrieves to hand cloud our minds. However, every seasoned bird hunter experienced the desperate disappointment of losing a downed bird even though every aspect of the hunt had been flawless to that point.
Adaptive Camo
Game birds are a product of their environment. Eons of time have designed birds, which remarkably resemble the cover in which they hide and thrive. Much bird cover is thick, almost impenetrable. Lady Luck plays a key role in hunters being able to see a bird flush from such coverts, much less knock one down. Judging distance is difficult in the thickets A good rule of thumb to remember is that your fleeing quarry is usually closer than you might think. If you are not sure where your bird went down, begin your search by looking near to far.
After you connect and tumble a bird into dense cover, the work begins to make your best effort to recover it. Most often a bit of work is in store for you. Downed birds have an uncanny ability to vanish before your eyes, even if you are at first and goal. Those birds have simply blended into the surrounding cover. A bird can skid, tumble or flop into over, around and through vegetative cover forest floor duff, which will mask its presence. It is your duty as a hunter to find it.
More than one bird hunter has been astonished when his retriever returned with a bird he thought he had missed cleanly. Good hunting ethics require you to make an extra effort to look for birds, even if you think you missed. It may result with a bird in hand. At the least, you can continue your hunt with a clear conscience.
Making the Shot
Shooting well in tight cover takes skill. Skill is acquired through practice. Visit your local sporting clays range regularly prior to the season opener. When the long desired flush comes, you will be happier with your performance and put more birds in the game bag. Increased accuracy and confidence in your shooting abilities will result in more clean kills as well. However, the best form does not prevent thick cover from swallowing up a bird just as you pull the trigger. This scenario haunts many bird hunters every season. Did you down the bird? Only a well thought out search plan will give you the answer.
Mark Your Spot
Fools rush in where seasoned hunters fear to go. The thrill of the moment overwhelms excited bird hunters. You make a perfect shot and watch the bird tumble from the sky. Instinct urges you to rush in and claim your prize. Haste makes waste in bird hunting situations, too. It is astonishing how quickly surroundings can change if you don't locate your bird immediately. First, before taking a step, note the exact spot where you stood when you took the shot. This will be your reference point for the duration of your search. Mark the spot with your orange cap, trail tape, toilet paper or anything visible.
|When hitting a bird, watch the trail of floating feathers to help give you an idea of its location.
Look for Floaters
Keep your eyes trained in the direction of the shot. Look immediately for feathers floating on the breeze. If the wind is blowing left to right and you shot the bird to the left, align the left edge of the drifting feathers with a landmark, such as a tall tree to give you a line to strike for your search. If you have a hunting buddy along, the search is much easier. Have him stand at the point of the shot, while you strike the line to find your downed bird. You can easily return to your marked beginning as many times as needed.
Use Your Senses
Wild birds use all of their senses to escape predators. As a hunter, you must utilize all of your senses as well in order to consistently find and retrieve your downed game birds. You have already observed your bird's path of flight. Listen closely for sounds of the bird falling through limbs, branches and forest floor litter. You may hear a muffled thud when the bird strikes the ground. Also listen for the continued wing beats or thrashing of the bird once it goes down.
Search Here, Search There
If you fail to locate your bird where you thought it was, begin a dedicated search. Look around near the spot you thought the bird fell. First thoughts are surprisingly correct and your bird may only be a few feet away. Hunters are keen predators and possess a sense of the presence of game. Practice improves this helpful attribute.
|A retriever greatly improves the enjoyment of any bird hunt and reduces losses of birds as well.
Scan the area around you in a complete circle. Move out a few feet and repeat the process. Watch for any telltale signs of the bird: tiny droplets of blood, a faint feather or rustled leaves are clues to look for.
Change the angle or position from which you are scanning the cover. Crouch down a bit, then kneel down. Laying down on the ground gives you an entirely different perspective of the cover around you. When all else fails, look up. Retrace your steps to your point of origin, all the while scanning the trees and bushes from eye level up. I have retrieved doves, ducks and pheasants from trees. It is definitely worth the look.
Man's Best Friend
There is no arguing that hunting with a bird dog greatly reduces losses of downed birds. Too, the hunt is more enjoyable while sharing the experience with a canine companion. However, as luck dictates, the dog is not always present at the shot. Your finder skills will greatly enhance the dog's chances of locating the bird a this point. Combine your skills with the "dead bird" point of your dog and the two of you will be a keen dead bird down finding machine.
Final Shots
Days afield are too few. Our passions for new bird hunting memories drive us to the fields and forests when the time is right. like a fine wine, a quality bird hunt must be nurtured from beginning to end. That includes the patience and ethics to execute a follow up after the shot. As the old adage says, "A bird in hand is worth two in the bush." And the succulent meat of our game birds compliments a fine wine perfectly.

Debugging a PHP application if often more difficult than debugging an application in some other programming language. There are two reasons for this.
[ PHP developers have many good IDEs to choose from. See the InfoWorld Test Center's comparison of ActiveState Komodo, CodeLobster, Eclipse PDT, phpDesigner, NetBeans, NuSphere PhpED, PHPEdit, and Zend Studio. ]
Second, a PHP Web application does not have a continuous, linear flow of execution. Its execution is a series of HTTP request/response transactions. Each transaction is independent of all other preceding and following request/response pairs. While it is true that, from a user's perspective, the application gives the impression of a monolithic unity, that effect is maintained by artifacts such as cookies or hidden fields. The presence of such artifacts does not inform the debugger of a transaction-spanning Web session.
The upshot is that, if you start a debug session on file X.PHP, when X.PHP sends its HTTP response, that PHP code is completed. A subsequent HTTP request in the same user session might trigger the execution of file Y.PHP. Consequently, a single user session effectively passes through multiple debug sessions.
Developers can deal with the "multiple languages" issue using a collection of debug tools, each outfitted for its particular domain. A PHP debugger "extension" handles debugging PHP code. One of the most popular extensions is the Xdebug, a free PHP debugger, which is installed as a dynamic link library on Windows or as a shared library on Linux. Xdebug can be used with virtually any Web server, because it is attached to the PHP runtime and not the Web server.

Many of you were wishing others a happy Valentines Day and in Helena today conservation groups gathered to give Attorney General Tim Fox a little different type of Valentines Day gift, ABC Montana's Joe Moeller brings us more.
Its Valentines Day, so love is in the air for many around the Treasure State, but one place you could find some not so Valentines Day love is at the Attorney Generals office where councils from Northern Plains Resource and Sleeping Giant Citizens dropped off some anti-coal Valentines Day cards gathered from all over the state."Let the Attorney General know that there are a lot of people in Montana who are really concerned about the impacts to Montana, increase in strip mining in Eastern Montana." said Shiloh Hernandez from the Sleeping Giants Citizens Council.The Helena based Sleeping Giant Citizens council collected the cards from all corners of Montana to bring challenge Attorney General Tim Fox to spread the word on the negatives of coal mining in Montana and the impacts it has on our environment. "You have lead cadmium and all these other minerals that are flying all over Montana. This whole coal train bit is going to have a long range impact on our citizens health forever." said supporter Alma Winberry. The Attorney Generals office argues coal is a big factor in Montana, with reserves estimated at $1.5 trillion dollars, coal is responsible for more than 7,000 jobs in Montana, with that the payroll adds up to $400 million. AG fox's offices responded to the Valentines Day letters saying:"Responsibly developing our coal resources means good-paying jobs for Montanans, money for our schools, and affordable electricity for our homes - even the electricity this extremist group used to spread word about its gathering." These conservation groups believe there are different routes the government can obtain energy in Montana, and hopes that these hand written Montanan notes will get that exact message out there. "People have called it one of the greatest wind resources in the nation we can build wind mills. Helena for example has great solar resources, there are clean alternatives as far as energy development in the state goes." added Hernandez.

The city of Boston fell in love with veteran police officer Steve Horgan on Sunday night when cameras captured him standing in the Red Sox bullpen celebrating David Ortiz's game-tying grand slam at the exact moment Tigers outfielder Torii Hunter flipped over the fence in pursuit of the ball.
Less excited about Horgan's celebration? You guessed it: Torii Hunter.
Torii Hunter on the Bullpen Cop: "He's supposed to be protect and serve. This son of a gun's got his hands up! Help me, then cheer, fool!"—
Anthony Castrovince (@castrovince) October 14, 2013
Hunter added: "I wish I would have kicked him in his face." That was all said in jest. I think. #Tigers #RedSox—
Anthony Castrovince (@castrovince) October 14, 2013
Hunter thanked the #RedSox relievers who tried to help. "They tried to take care of human life. Unlike the cop." #Tigers—
Anthony Castrovince (@castrovince) October 14, 2013
It's hard to blame any longtime Sox fan for getting excited about the moment, but Hunter's got a pretty solid point. Dude was standing right there when the outfielder went flipping over the wall headfirst. Even if it's not the top police priority, it seems a pretty standard response to try to catch someone if he's about to fall on his head.
Also, it feels like bullpen catcher Mani Martinez is getting the short shrift here. Obviously Ortiz should get credit for hitting the grand slam, Horgan should get credit for the celebration, and Hunter should get credit for the effort. But Martinez's catch might have been the best play of all.

Does Gisele Bundchen have another genetically superior bun baking in her oven? Her reps aren't commenting, but the rumor mill in her native Brazil is cranking with whispers that she may be expecting baby No. 2.
Tom Brady's leggier half was in Sao Paulo last week promoting her HOPE lingerie collection, and although she didn't give off a hint of any belly swelling while posing in a bra-showcasing lace shirt (below), sources close to the supermodel have supposedly been spilling the news, according to House of Models columnist Fabio Lage.
Brazilian paper Agora also claims "those responsible for dressing the model at recent events noticed changes in Gisele's body," which, granted, could mean she just had an extra serving of salad at lunch.
Bundchen, 31, is already mom to Benjamin, who made his debut in December 2009 via home delivery in a bathtub, and stepmom to Brady's 4-year-old son, Jack, with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan.
The square-jawed twosome enjoyed a second honeymoon of sorts with a trip to Costa Rica in late February, not long after the New England Patriots lost the Super Bowl and Gisele was overheard griping of the quarterback's teammates, "My husband can not [bleeping] throw the ball and catch the ball at the same time. I can't believe they dropped the ball so many times."
The model mogul has made no secret of her desire to expand her brood, and the family recently completed work on a $20 million, 22,000-square-foot estate in Brentwood, Calif.

Located in an eclectic neighborhood northeast of downtown Houston, Oxheart is a tiny space making big waves on the Houston culinary scene.
The 31-seat restaurant is being called one of the best new restaurants in the country by everyone from Bon Appetit to Esquire.
Chef-Owner Justin Yu is at the helm of a place that focuses in on fresh, local ingredients, and is not afraid to make vegetables the star of many of the dishes. Food blogger Maya Fasthoff recently visited Oxheart and asked Yu how he came up with the name.
"We have a dual focus between meat proteins and fish, and vegetables," Yu said. "Oxheart is obviously the heart of an ox, but it's also a varietal of carrot, a varietal of tomato, and a varietal of cabbage, so the dual focus between meats and vegetables is how I came up with the name. I want there to be a thought process where diners find new things that you may not have known grew near your house or where you live. It's a creative take on new modern American cuisine."
One of the dishes exemplifying the philosophy of Oxheart is a slow-roasted okra dish. Pieces of the roasted okra stand at attention, secured by dollops of sweet corn pudding in a display that is as much art as it is food.
"It really showcases what's great about the restaurant," Yu said. "Okra has a really long growing season. It uses every part of the vegetable and it's a great way to showcase a vegetable like that".
Oxheart is open for dinner only Thursdays through Mondays. The menu features two four-course tasting menus and one 7-course tasting menu. Reservations are definitely required.
Oxheart is located at 1302 Nance St.

Sad news to report: the Professor, former Blues GM Ron Caron, has passed away. #stlblues— Jeremy Rutherford (@jprutherford) January 10, 2012
Ron Caron was the man who brought Brett Hull to town and sent Cliff Ronning packing. He was the architect of the pre-Keenan Blues that never missed the playoffs and always seemed entertaining to watch. Clever, engaging, flamboyant, bombastic . . . he made growing up a Blues fan a pure joy. Funny that the Blues are playing the Habs tonight, as before he became GM of the Blues, he was an Assistant GM in Montreal. And he always had "meat on zee burner". RIP, Ron.

Bush 'deficit reduction' bill could be stopped!
by skeptic06, Wed Feb 01, 2006 at 04:57:48 AM EST
All the while the lefty 'sphere has been working itself into a lather over the (as it turns out - and, as it was always going to turn out) wholly mythical Alito filibuster, the relentless reverse-Robin Hood Bush effort to rob the poor to give to the rich marches on.
The sick joke that is the Deficit Reduction Act I mentioned as having been stalled in the Senate.
It's coming back to the House today.

Twitter has added a keyword targeting system for advertisers, allows them to better aim their ads to relevant users.
The system works by targeting Twitter accounts based on specific words used in their latest tweets or tweets they have recently engaged with.
This could be an important step for the social network giant as it strives to generate revenue from its gigantic user base.
"This is an important new capability - especially for those advertisers looking for signals of intent - because it lets marketers reach users at the right moment, in the right context," said product manager Nipoon Malhotra in a blog post.
One example of how targeted keywords could he highlighted was if a user tweeted about a band he or she likes that happens to be playing a local venue. If the venue were running a geotargeted campaign using keywords related to the band, the person could be sent a Promoted Tweet advertising the concert.
Twitter has assured users that there will not be an increase in the frequency of Promoted Tweets, while tests so far have revealed that individuals engage better with keyword-targeted ads on the website.

Hello Mountain Project, I have been offered a wonderful gift by my father. He is going to pay for a honeymoon of my and my wife's choice. My wife and I are 30 and 35 respectively. We are thinking of spending time running amok in Europe. I have made several trips to Germany, Hungary, and Turkey. She spent 2 months backpacking across Europe when she was 18. We both got married while still in college (4 years ago) and as such did not go on a honey moon (Full time careers + full time college + three children = zero time). In short we have experience in travels to Europe but no climbing experience abroad. If you had 2 weeks to do and go anywhere you wanted what would you choose? (No children) We are no looking for posh hotels and easy relaxing. My wife and I both are more than comfortable camping out in the woods for extended periods of time eating beef jerky and purified shit water. I would like to hike/climb a classic mountain nothing to technical in order to keep the need for gear down to a minimum. My wife wants to see more cultural and historical aspects. Any and all advice is appreciated, Thanks MP!
We need to know what time of year (if it isn´t open) and what sort of climbing (alpine, trad, sport etc).
The Dolomites in north Italy. Stay in the huts, hike from hut to hut.Minimal gear great climbs.Eat and drink your way around. Two weeks is'nt enough time to do many big climbs.Nothing gets in the way of two weeks in europe like climbing.If your dad is paying full freight rent a car and go to Chamonix as well.Stay off toll roads and autobahns.
Gorges de Verdon. Its so beautiful many non climbers even go there for honeymoons. Add ultraclassic trad and sportclimbing and you're all set. Have at it, lovebirds!
I second the Dolomites. Two weeks is actually not a lot of time, so I'd avoid trying to hit too many places. Get yourself in position somewhere and hit some classic routes when the weather is good.
Yes, I know 2 weeks is not enough. But, it is what we both will be able to pull off with our employers. The time of year is open, however, my wife is leaning towards Italy. Trad is probably out of the question (too much gear to fly and carry all over). I am even open to try out some of the famed via feratta routes around the alps.
If you're into easy mountain routes and fia ferrata type stuff you should check out the Appenzeller region in Switzerland. It's east of Zurich and pretty stunning. With that said you will not go wrong with the Dolomites.
I´d think about flying into Munich, some culture for herself (and beer naturally), down to Garmisch Partenkirchen to climb Germany´s highest peak there´s a via ferrata up and a train back down). Down to Salzburg for some more culture, over the Alps to the Dolomites for everything climbing wise. Side trips from there to Verona, Venice and Bologna for some more culture, over to Arco(also in part of the Dolomites) for lower-altitude sport climbing. And back to Munich with some Frankenjura thrown in and to finish with more beer. (If you need a trad rack I can probably help out though for most stuff you don´t need much really, I live in Munich anyway). This way gives you more bad weather options than going right into the Alps at Chamonix for instance and more change of scenery and culture as well. June/July is best or Sept/Oct. August is crowded.
You could make Barcelona your home base (lots of culture and good food), rent a car, climb in the numerous world-class sport crags in the area, and do some alpine stuff in the Pyrenees.

36. The Walls of Jericho Tracts
The Walls of Jericho and Surrounding Areas
Date of Purchase: February 26, 2004
Location: Jackson County; Township 1S, Range 5E, portions of Section 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 8, 9, 10 ,11, 12, 13 , 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 35, 36; Township 1S, Range 6E, portions of Sections 7, 18; Township 2S, Range 5E, portion of Section 1
Acreage: 12, 510
THE WALLS OF JERICHO TRACT in Jackson County consists of 12,510 acres bordering Tennessee, which were purchased in partnership with The Alabama Chapter of The Nature Conservancy. The tract is comprised of mountainous and wooded terrain, hosting caves, springs, rocky bluffs and portions of the headwaters of the Paint Rock River. The tract is adjacent to J.D Martin Skyline Wildlife Management Area, the Post-Oak Flat Tract and the Henshaw-Cove Tract.
As with all Forever Wild Acquisitions, the land protected serves as a base for traditional forms of conservation related recreation, following the principles of multiple-use. Bird watching, backpacking, hiking, horseback riding, hunting, stream fishing and wildflower viewing are all accommodated on Alabama's Walls of Jericho Tract. All of these activities are best assessed by improved public access parking areas along Hwy 79. There are separate parking areas for horseback riding access and hiking access.
There are currently 3 hiking trails available. Both the Walls of Jericho Trail (6 miles round-trip) and the Bear Den Point Loop (4.7 miles round-trip) leave from the hiking trail parking lot. The South Rim Trail (1mile round-trip) leaves from the Clark Cemetery Campsite.
A horseback riding trail (8.3 miles one-way) leads down to the Clark Cemetery Campsite. No horses are allowed beyond the Clark Cemetery Campsite, foot traffic only.
The trails can also be accessed from the Tennessee
The State Lands Division, along with volunteer groups, is currently working to develop an additional 11 mile hiking trail that will begin at the hiking trail parking lot and terminate at the Post-Oak Flats Tract.
There are two primitive campsites available. One is located near the parking lot and the second is located at Clark Cemetery in the valley. Posted signs will direct you to the campsites.
Please help the State Lands Division and other volunteer groups keep the Walls of Jericho clean for all visitors by following the Leave No Trace policy.
For more history and information on The Walls of Jericho Tract, the following article is a good resource.

It's all nil at the San Siro where the most interesting part of Roma's visit to AC Milan has been the clash of the hairstyles. Roma have Philippe Mexès's tremendous fail of a bleached blond surfer do, as well as Marco Borriello's call back to The New Kids on the Block. The Rossoneri are attempting to fight back but all they really have is Gennaro Gattuso's horrendous caveman beard.
Fortunately for AC Milan, hair-whether it's on the top of your head or sprouting out of your chin-counts for very little in football, unless you're Marek Hamsik and your hair is capable of functioning like a ship's rudder. Milan have been comfortably in front for most of the match, only allowing Roma more than a minute in their half after forty minutes had passed. Roma seem content to sit back and let the match play on around them, absorbing the oncoming waves of pressure from the home side.
An interesting tactical twist for Milan was aborted after about twenty minutes, when Andrea Pirlo, who had been playing on the left, was injured in a collision with Jérémy Menez. Clarence Seedorf came on to replace Pirlo, which probably is for the best, as Pirlo was almost anonymous for those first twenty minutes. Menez, for his part, has been the brightest spark for Roma, popping up almost everywhere when the team is attacking, and getting back to help defend when they are not.

Agriculture and Food:
Country-of-Origin Labeling for Certain Foods--Survey Results, an E-supplement to GAO-03-780
GAO-03-781SP: Published: Aug 5, 2003. Publicly Released: Aug 5, 2003.
Additional Materials:
(202) 512-9692
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
A requirement that retail grocers identify certain agricultural products by country of origin was included in legislation passed in 2002. Beginning September 30, 2004 when the new law takes effect, grocery stores will have to clearly mark the covered products--beef, pork, lamb, fruits, vegetables, fish, shellfish, and peanuts--with their country of origin. GAO was asked to identify which U.S. trading partner countries require country-of-origin labeling at the retail level for foods subject to the new labeling law and how these programs are being implemented. To determine country of origin practices of U.S. trading partners and update the 1998 Foreign Agricultural Service report, we surveyed the agriculture attaches for the key trading partner countries and the European Union that were surveyed in 1998 as well as other key trading partners, for a total of 57 countries and the European Union. The 57 countries account for about 94 percent of U.S. trading activity for food and animals. This information in these tables is based on responses to GAO's survey. Results are also available in the following report: Country-of-Origin Labeling: Opportunities for USDA and Industry to Implement Challenging Aspects of the New Law. The report can be accessed at GAO-03-780.

Easy library administration with Koha
Book Keeper
Information technology plays a key role in modern library environments. We check out Koha, an open source integrated system that can help manage a library's daily operations.
Library catalogs were originally based on a card system that was tedious and time-consuming to update. Fortunately, this task is now done by modern electronic systems for easy central administration of library catalogs. Recently, I had the pleasure of installing one such system, Koha.

"WOW! That's all I can say. The marathon was well organized. Everything was perfect and I really enjoyed my experience"
What to Expect
Due to the nature of this city-wide event there will be major delays from 7:45 a.m. to 12:15 p.m. on Race Day. Please download our full color street closure map and complete list of street closures and traffic advisories if you have any concerns about travel around the city on Race day.

Traffic Advisory FAQ's
All street closures and parking bans related to VCM are made to insure the safety of our participants. It is the goal of VCM to have as minimal negative impact on our community related to traffic delays as possible. We recognize the inconvenience that our event causes to some of the public and hope this document will help answer many questions.
Q: My house is on the marathon route. Can I park on the street?
A: It depends on where you live. "No Parking" signs will be posted on Saturday May 23, the day before the event. If your neighborhood is posted then you will need to move your car off the street by 5am. Cars on the street in violation of posted signs will be towed at the owner's expense.
Q: Where can I park downtown on Sunday morning?
A: City of Burlington parking garages and all metered parking is free on Sundays. We ask that marathon runners, spectators, and volunteers do NOT park in any lots affiliated with the Churches.
Download Downtown Burlington Parking Map
Q: What areas should I avoid?
A: We find that the congested areas tend to go in waves, depending on where the runners are. For example, from 8:15am until 10:00am runners will be entering and exiting the Beltline (Rt 127). This causes backups on Manhattan Dr. From 8:10am to 8:30am runners are running down Main St to Church St. This causes backups if you are driving down Main St from Williston Rd. It is best to consult our color coded maps to figure out when runners will be in certain areas.
Keep in mind that due to the nature of our event the runners will spread out as the race goes on. That means that earlier (8:00am-9:00am) traffic may be completely delayed in an area, but the runners will be through those areas relatively quickly. Later (10:45am-2:00pm) when the runners are more spread out the delays will last longer, but there will be bigger gaps between runners so we will be able to cross cars more often.
Q: Why don't you let more cars through?
A: Our #1 priority at all times is the safety of the runners in our race. We do not stop our racers, except in the case where an emergency vehicle with lights on approaches. Whenever there is a break between runners our Police and Course Monitors are instructed to let traffic through. We trust the Police and Course Monitors judgment on when it is safe to let cars cross.
Q: What is the best way to get to North Beach or Leddy Park or the Ethan Allen Shopping Plaza?
A: If you live anywhere other than Burlington's North End and are trying to get to anywhere in Burlington north of Battery Park between 8:00am and 10:15am we recommend driving through Mallet's Bay in Colchester and entering Burlington via Prim Rd. After 10:15am you may also be able to get to these areas via Manhattan Dr and North St. The Leddy Park access road is closed from 9:00am to 12:30pm. Avoid driving near Battery St and the Battery Park area between 8:45am and 10:15am.
Q: What is the best way to get to Oakledge Park?
A: Oakledge Park is a busy place for the VCM, site of our 2-Person Relay exchange, halfway point of the marathon, and the first place our runners use the Burlington bikepath. Because of this, the entrance to Oakledge and streets west of Pine St are closed to cars until 11:00am. After 11:00am Oakledge will be open as usual.
Q: I will be driving from the north end of Burlington to Shelburne Rd on Sunday morning. What is the best route?
A: From 9:00am to 10:15am it is difficult to get from Burlington's North End to downtown or points south or east due to major delays at Park St and Pine St. Prior to 8:15am the best route is Manhattan Dr or North St to Prospect St. At 8:15am we will re-open North Ave in the Battery Park area. From 8:30am to 9:00am King St and Maple St eastbound are open. From 9:00am to 10:15am it is best to avoid this area.
Q: I will be driving from the south end of Burlington to Colchester on Sunday morning. What is the best route?
A: Prior to 10:30am we recommend I189 to Winooski and then Mallets Bay Ave. After 10:30am the Beltline will reopen, and best access is from the streets east of Church St.
Q: What is the best way to get to Church St for Sunday brunch (and to watch the runners of course!) at 10:00am?
A: By 8:45am all our runners will have completed the Hill Section of the course. The rest of our course is completely to the east of Church St/Pine St/North Ave. If coming downtown after 9:15am it is recommended that you drive no further west than South Winooski Ave and walk to Church St.
Q: I need to come downtown in the morning and leave by 9:30am. What is the best way to avoid getting stuck downtown?
A: If you are going to need to leave downtown before 10:15am we recommend that you park to the east of Church St and walk into downtown. Driving out of the downtown core between 9:00am and 10:15am is very challenging due to multiple street closures on all sides of the downtown core.
Q: I need to drive to Waterfront Park on Sunday. What is the best way to get there?
A: Vehicle access to Waterfront Park and Lake St is restricted to local residents, parking is limited. Prior to 8:45am you may access Waterfront Park via College St or Main St, but you will be unable to leave until noon at the earliest.
Q: I need to put my boat in the water at the Coast Guard ramp on Sunday. When can I do this?
A: We recommend early morning (before 8:00am) or after 3:00pm as access times if you wish to use the Coast Guard ramp to launch your boat. The College St entrance to Waterfront Park is closed from 8:45am until 11:45am due to runners on Battery St. From 11:45am until 2:15pm there will be runners in the area where cars enter the boat ramp. After 3:00pm you should have full access to this boat ramp. As an alternative we recommend the boat ramp at Delta Park in Colchester.
Q: I live on Park St. In the past I have been unable to get out of my driveway on Sunday morning. How can I get my car out on Sunday morning?
A: If you live on or near the marathon route, Park St or elsewhere, there may be times when there are too many runners in front of your house for a car to safely exit your driveway. If you think you might need to drive from your house on Sunday morning it is a good idea to park your car on a nearby street east of the marathon course. Keep in mind that the nature of our event means that areas become congested and clear up at different times and at different rates. Please refer to our color coded maps determine the times when your neighborhood will be most congested with runners.
Q: Why can't I drive on Pine St during the marathon?
A: Due to backups on St Paul St and Shelburne Rd, Pine St serves as the main emergency vehicle route during the marathon. Pine St may be used by local traffic only. Local traffic will be diverted onto any of the east-west streets (Howard St, Locust St, Birchcliff Pkwy, etc) as soon as possible to keep Pine St open.
Q: I see some vehicles on streets that you said were closed. Why can't I drive on those streets?
A: Any vehicles on closed streets are official VCM vehicles with course passes, or they are local traffic.
Q: What if I get stuck? How do I get through the gridlock?
A: It is the nature of our event that some delays are inevitable. If you are caught in gridlock it is likely that it will clear up in 15-20 minutes at the most, please be patient. Feel free to ask the Police Officer or Course Monitor in your area about any alternative routes that may be available. They are your best resource for where our course goes. Keep in mind that it is their goal to minimize your inconvenience, but they must first keep in mind the safety of the runners.

Administration of Grants
Essential post-award information
An electronic Grants Manual has been prepared by Carleton's Business Office as a resource for faculty who have received external or federal funding in order to provide the necessary resources to ensure a successful project.
About reports
After a grant has been awarded, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations notifies the Dean's Office, the Assistant Comptroller in the Business Office, the appropriate academic department, and the principal investigator of award details, including reporting requirements, as applicable. Periodically afterward, CFR's automated system generates updates which are forwarded to the reporting officer (usually the principal investigator or project director) for handling.
In most cases, we work closely with the reporting officer to draft interim and final reports and provide whatever other assistance might be necessary to meet a reporting deadline. For almost all institutional proposals, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations drafts the interim and final reports.
Beyond helping draft reports on grant activities, the Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations also tracks institutional relationships with funders by carefully monitoring grants and working directly with faculty. For instance, we like to be informed about grant activities as this information can be useful in developing future proposals and ensuring the continued good will of Carleton's benefactors.
Responsible Conduct of ResearchInformation regarding the policies and activities by which Carleton will meet certain federal funders' requirements for training on the responsible and ethical conduct of research (RCR).
Dissemination and Sharing of Research ResultsAny proposals submitted to the National Science Foundation on or after January 18, 2011, must include a supplemental "Data Management Plan" (no more than two pages in length) which demonstrates how the principal investigator of the proposed project will fulfill the NSF's Data Sharing Policy, as published in the NSF Award & Administration Guide (AAG), chapter VI.D.4.. CFR can help all NSF applicants develop this statement.
Compliance with Federal RegulationsTo ensure compliance with regulations as research is conducted with federal funding, all investigators (i.e., principal investigators, project directors, and the like, as well as department chairs who oversee researchers in their departments) are annually asked to review three main areas of compliance and to address the action items in each category.

The unifying theme and goal of psychology is the understanding of individual human behavior in the context of our social, cultural and physical environment. Thus, the subject matter of psychology is central to the goals of a liberal arts education.
With its historical roots in philosophy and physiology, psychology continues to be an inherently interdisciplinary field. Psychology includes the study of brain-behavior relationships and adheres to the scientific method in its emphasis on empirical research; thus, in both content and methodology, psychology is viewed as one of the natural sciences. Psychologists explore fundamental questions concerning human motivation and values and, in so doing, also have strong ties with the humanities. As social scientists, our investigations include but are not limited to the laboratory study of humans and other animals; systematic study of human behavior and interaction often occurs in the community, workplace and clinical settings.
Our curriculum includes courses that provide grounding in the basic theoretical approaches and research methodology of psychology as well as a variety of courses and seminars designed to meet more focused interests, especially in areas of applied psychology. Often cited as the most distinctive strength of our department is the "real life laboratory" available to students who wish to complete field research, gain practical experience and engage in internship programs at the Oregon State Hospital, Services for Children and Families, Hillcrest Youth Correctional Facility and many other human service agencies located in Salem. Comparable practicum and internship programs typically are available only at the graduate level of study. The department also has a newly renovated Biopsychology/Human Experimental Laboratory, including networked computers, for use in individual research projects.
The majority of psychology majors ultimately pursue advanced degrees in psychology or in professional schools (e.g., business, education, law, medicine, social work, and theology). Some graduates choose to work in entry-level positions in psychology and other human service fields before applying to graduate programs. Students who have successfully completed internships clearly improve their prospects for being hired in such positions. Students who have, in addition, gained experience in conducting research, either in conjunction with an internship or by writing a data-based thesis, have a considerable advantage when applying for Ph.D. programs in psychology.
The entry course into the Psychology major is PSYC 210, Introduction to Psychology. PSYC 105, 125, and 130 are intended as general education MOI courses only and do not count toward a Psychology major. These courses are deliberately geared to non-majors. For those students interested in pursuing a major in Psychology, PSCY 210, Introduction to Psychology, is the entry-level course that must be completed.
The entry course into the Psychology minor is PSYC 210, Introduction to Psychology. PSYC 105, 125, and 130 are intended as general education MOI courses only and do not count toward a Psychology minor. These courses are deliberately geared to non-minors. For those students interested in pursuing a minor in Psychology, PSYC 210, Introduction to Psychology, is the entry-level course that must be completed.
This course for non-majors focuses on how psychological research and theory may be applied to environmental issues, and will include an overview of many theories in psychology. Will study global ecological problems and explore possible solutions based on behavioral interventions. Freshmen and Sophomores only. This course does not count toward a Psychology major or minor.
Mode of Inquiry: Understanding Society; Environmental Cluster
A course for non-majors that will explore the biological, social, environmental, and cognitive variables related to stress. This exploration will include laboratory assignments regarding physiological and behavioral aspects of stress as well as an intensive self-directed stress reduction project that will be empirically evaluated. Freshmen and Sophomores only. Laboratory required. This course does not count toward a Psychology major or minor.
Mode of Inquiry: Understanding the Natural World
Evolutionary psychology is an approach to psychology in which concepts from evolutionary biology are utilized to study and understand behavior. Specifically, the brain, like other organs, evolved through natural selection, leading to behavioral mechanisms that promote the individual's ability to adapt to his/her environment, survive and reproduce. Because evolutionary theory represents a way of thinking, virtually any area within psychology would be appropriate for inclusion with specific content used to illustrate evolution as a Mode of Inquiry into behavioral processes. The topical focus may include (but is not limited to) comparative analyses of emotional expression, communication and social relations within and between species from a behavior analytic and biopsychosocial framework. Laboratory. Freshmen and Sohpomores only. This course does not count toward a Psychology major or minor.
Mode of Inquiry: Understanding the Natural World
This class is designed to teach students cognitive and behavioral skills needed to communicate with others from a significantly different cultural background. Emphasis is focused on Asian cultures, however, the class is appropriate for students in any major who are interested in cross-cultural communication and for those who are going or returning from abroad. The course material is adapted from Ivey and Ivey's multi-cultural counseling theory as well as intercultural theory. Emphasis will be on teaching the basic listening sequence in a multi-cultural context. Mastery of these skills will expand the repertoire of communication skills available to the individual, so that the individual is enabled to better communicate with others from a significantly different background.
Major traditional fields and contemporary problems of psychology: clinical, developmental, learning, perception, cognition and motivation as they pertain to behavior and interaction with the social environment.
An examination of the scientific method as applied to psychological research. This course will address issues in theory testing, measurement, experimental and correlational designs and research ethics. The course will also cover descriptive statistics and exploratory data analysis, including graphical and computer-based statistical analysis. Extensive laboratory and writing experience required, with coverage of library search methods and APA style.
General Education Requirement Fulfillment: Writing centered; Quantitative and Analytical Reasoning

Prerequisite: PSYC 252 and Junior standing with a declared major in Psychology
Behavioral development of normal children prior to adolescence, emphasizing a topical organization rather than an ages and stages approach. Course is divided into two major areas: socialization processes (development of social behavior in infancy, the family, effects of peers, moral development and other topics) and cognitive development (learning and motivation and the influence of Piaget).
Prerequisite: PSYC 210 or consent of instructor
Developmentalists regard adolescence as a qualitatively special period/state of life which is different than prior childhood or future adult maturity. In contrast, some social historians see adolescence as a recent phenomenon shaped by industrialization and extended formal education which may be more apparent than real. Our interest is concerned with what adolescence means for our times. We will look at how general psychological theories interpret adolescence. We will also consider general issues young people deal with (family, school, employment, etc.), as well as special problems that some adolescents face (ethnic status, gender perspectives, and poverty).
Prerequisite: PSYC 210 or consent of instructor
An introduction to major theories of personality with emphasis on how the theorists' ideas evolved in the context of their life experiences and on current clinical applications. Theorists include Freud, Jung, Adler, Horney, Maslow and Rogers.

Attention will be given to interactions between learning and motivation.
Prerequisite: PSYC 210 or consent of instructor
This course will explore the field of industrial/organizational psychology in its broadest sense. We will examine the psychology of work behavior from both a management perspective, with its emphasis on efficiency and productivity; and from a worker's point of view, including concerns about career development, job satisfaction and stress. Work-related issues in many types of organizations (e.g., educational institutions, social service agencies, profit-oriented manufacturing companies) will be considered.
Prerequisite: PSYC 210 or consent of instructor
Ethical and descriptive aspects of human judgment and decision making. Rational models based on expected utility, Bayesian statistical inference, falsification logic. "Real life" applications to economics, politics, psychology, risk management and other areas.

By way of John Sickels, we have something from The New Republic. Now, now, calm down, this is still mostly a politics-free zone. This article has to do with Moneyball and the Army. Read the first few sentences, and tell me you aren't interested:
In the summer of 2008, Kansas City-based sportswriter Joe Posnanski was invited to discuss Moneyball at nearby Fort Leavenworth. At first, he was incredulous. "I had literally no idea what I was supposed to talk about," he told me. But Posnanski duly attended the seminar-style session, which featured several Army officers, including a colonel, at the facility's University of Foreign Military and Cultural Studies.
Take note, people: The U.S. Army doesn't care if you look good in jeans.

On Feb. 10, Microsoft released version 2.2.550 of the Metro Music app -- also known as the "Modern" Music app and/or Xbox Music app -- as well as the Metro Video app 2.2.550 for Windows 8/8.1. Want to know what Microsoft changed from the last version (Jan. 22's version 2.2.444.4)? Tough luck. The most Microsoft will tell you is that both contain "minor fixes and improvements."
Microsoft's Xbox on Windows release details page -- where one would expect to find a changelog -- reads more like advertising copy. Aside from touting the ubiquitous "minor fixes and improvements," you can see such enlightening change entries as "It's now simpler to buy the albums and songs you want to keep forever. You can redeem Microsoft gift cards, too!" Look a little closer and you'll see that the changelog entry for Jan. 22 is copy-and-paste identical to the changelog entry for Nov. 19, 2013. The page isn't a changelog, it's an inside joke.
Microsoft has rules governing the behavior of apps accepted for publication in the Windows Store. Up until last October, every app update submitted to the store had to have descriptions of the changes made in the latest version -- what you and I would call a changelog. For reasons that escape me, on Oct. 17, 2013, the App certification process dropped that stipulation, formerly known as paragraph 6.7. Prior to Oct. 17, 2013, every app submitted for inclusion in the Windows Store had to have a changelog. A very cursory glance at the Xbox on Windows release details page shows that Microsoft didn't even pay lip service to its own rules. Now, there are no rules. Problem solved.
So we end up with the current situation -- where Microsoft's customers try to guess at the changes that have been made. There's a good example of the quandary on the Winbeta notification blog about the Feb. 10 patch. Ron at Winbeta started by saying yesterday:
Microsoft has not provided a change log for the update, which is typical behavior from the devices and services giant. The change log that is currently listed in the app's description page is very old. Not to be outdone, the Video app also received an update, but just like the Music app, there is no updated change log available.

Massachusetts authorities had warned residents in some low-lying coastal shore neighborhoods to evacuate in advance of last weekend's nor'easter. But when the storm finally struck, even police were surprised at some locations by the combination of high tide, storm surge, and waves.
Pushed by powerful northeast winds, the blizzard's storm surge was the fourth highest for the Boston area since record keeping began in 1921, according to Weather Underground severe weather expert Jeff Masters — topped only by the blizzard of 1978, Hurricane Sandy, and the so-called "Perfect Storm" of Halloween, 1991 ("Snow measured in feet, not inches: historic Nor'easter pounds New England").
In a few locations, the surge brought serious destruction. A rogue wave smashed into the second floor of one house in Gloucester, Mass., reported the Boston Globe ("Raging waves damage homes in Gloucester and Salisbury," by Kathy McCabe and Kay Lazar). "We anticipated possible flooding," Gloucester Police Chief Leonard Campanello told the Globe. "I don't know as though we anticipated a wave reaching the second floor of a house."
Police in Salisbury, Mass., ordered a mandatory evacuation of homes along a shore road after responding to an emergency call from a couple in a beachfront home. "They said the ocean was inside their house, and they were right," Police Lieutenant Steve Sforza told the Globe. "There was sand everywhere."
And in Scituate, Mass., frightened residents bombarded police with calls for help, the Globe reported ("In Scituate, the seawall breaches, and residents seek evacuation in a town without power," by Akilah Johnson). "Every other call" to police on Saturday morning was a plea for help evacuating, town Selectman Anthony Vegnani told the paper. Firefighters in special insulated wetsuits waded through chest-deep water to evacuate stranded residents, the Globe reported.

abstract data type
<programming> (ADT) A kind of data abstraction where a type's internal form is hidden behind a set of access functions. Values of the type are created and inspected only by calls to the access functions. This allows the implementation of the type to be changed without requiring any changes outside the module in which it is defined.
Objects and ADTs are both forms of data abstraction, but objects are not ADTs. Objects use procedural abstraction (methods), not type abstraction.
A classic example of an ADT is a stack data type for which functions might be provided to create an empty stack, to push values onto a stack and to pop values from a stack.
