We all went through this last year. NCAA Tourney or bust, blah blah blah. So, no surprise, this language is coming out AGAIN! Remember, making the tourney from the Big Ten could mean finishing as low as 6th or 7th, nothing to brag about, but still an accomplishment, especially for this team/program/university.
So, when John Shurna said this again, I commended him for making it CRYSTAL clear to the fans, that anything but the NCAA tourney is a failure. So for all the Carmody fans out there who keep telling me that 3 straight NIT's is a huge accomplishment, I will point to this. ttp://espn.go.com/blog/chicago/colleges/post/_/id/3217/healthy-shurna-focused-on-nus-goal

ARLINGTON - He has a ball player's name -- Trent Williams.
He also has a ball player's sunglasses -- literally. His used to belong to Rangers pitcher Yu Darvish.
And when he sits in his seat in center field at the Ballpark in Arlington, he has a ball player's approach. He watches batting practice to get used to judging home run balls, and during games, he is always ready.
We took him to the Ballpark the day after the All-Star game, went to his seat, and he showed us his approach.
"The ball's coming toward me," described Trent, getting up out of his seat. "I get up, plant my foot, hop over, and go catch it."
Despite all of this, 18-year-old Trent Williams is actually a hockey player.
"I started when I was like four or five," he said.
He plans to join a junior team next month, and it might be as far away as Florida or Montana. But until then, he has the coolest hobby in the world -- catching home run balls at Texas Rangers games.
Trent said he's gotten 13. The first one was in June 2010, off the bat of Josh Hamilton.
In the video from two years ago, you can see Trent wearing a blue t-shirt, stretching over the railing, trying to catch the ball. It glanced off his glove and landed on the hill.
"I forced my body to go over the rail," Trent said. "I face-planted right on the [grass.] But hey, the thing is, I still got the ball."
Rangers home runs he'll keep or give to little kids. The ones from opposing players go back where they came from.
Last weekend in the series against Minnesota, he scrambled across Greene's Hill to come up with a home run ball from Josh Willingham, and then promptly threw it back on to the field.
"I'll get it back to second base before the player even gets to second base," Trent said.
The hobby has become a passion. He even bought special shoes to deal with the slope on Greene's Hill.
"There was an Adrian Beltre home run -- kind of got away from me," he said. "I went up on the hill and I kind of slipped."
That was on April 25. The very next game, you can see him wearing the new shoes as he chases after an Evan Longoria home run.
And the sunglasses? Trent had his stolen and tweeted it. Darvish follows him on Twitter, and at a game a couple weeks later, gave his sunglasses to Trent.
"So he tossed them up to me and I've had them ever since," he said.
He's been a season ticket holder for two years now -- it's become the annual Christmas gift from his grandfather. And Trent Williams is making the most out of them.

Now you'll get to meet the man behind it.
Kaufman County Press Release
(KYTX) - Investigators with the joint task force investigating the murders of Mike and Cynthia McLelland and Mark Hasse continue to work leads and follow up on information in the case. A search warrant was issued on April 19, 2013, for a 2001 Mercury Sable (silver in color) that was located by the joint task force and linked to the murder of Mark Hasse. The Mercury Sable had been towed from the Gibson's Self Storage property after it was discovered abandoned on the property. The silver Mercury Sable had not been seen on the property before it was discovered there on February 25, 2013. It was towed on March 7, 2013, at the request of the storage facility management.
The Mercury Sable matches the description of the vehicle (silver Ford Taurus) described by witnesses as being seen fleeing the scene of the murder of Mark Hasse on January 31, 2013, in Kaufman. Investigators believe that this vehicle is the vehicle used by Eric and Kim Williams in the commission of the homicide of Mark Hasse.
If anyone has information about this vehicle, they are encouraged to contact investigators with the joint task force. Investigators continue to work leads and tips that have come in. The investigative task force continues to urge the public to call the tip line at 1-877-TIPSKCC (1-877-847-7522) with any information they may have concerning the murders.
Numerous calls have been made into our jail facility requesting attorney information in these cases. The special prosecutors that have been appointed are Bill Wirskye and Toby Shook. Eric Williams is represented by the Regional Public Defender for Capital Cases based in Lubbock. Kim Williams is being represented by Paul Johnson of Dallas.

I'm trying to create dynamic destinations using BlazeDS. To start with I used the 'Feed' sample that comes with BlazeDS. It has a destination defined as 'feed' in messaging-config.xml. Now I commented the destination in messaging-config.xml and added the following code in Feed.java, to create dynamic destination
MessageService service = (MessageService) msgBroker.getService("message-service");
Destination destination = service.createDestination("feed");
if (service.isStarted()) {
System.out.println("Started destination....");
On the Java side it doesn't throw any error. But this doesn't work on the Flex side as it doesn't find the dynamically created destination.

SQL-MapReduce® for Advanced AnalyticsBy Rick F. van der Lans, R20 Consultancy
From the early days of decision support systems to the present world of data warehousing, business intelligence, and analytics, the need for analytical capabilities has increased. In the beginning, users were satisfied with relatively straightforward reports, but today they demand advanced online analytical capabilities, such as forecasting, predictive modeling, and clustering.
In addition, data latency has become a more critical issue. It used to be acceptable for users to access week- and sometimes month-old data, compared to today, when users want to analyze data no older than a few seconds. In the past, we could keep our data warehouse relatively small by storing only aggregated data...

How Twitter's creation myth was hatched in San Francisco
The New York Times has a great story reporting out how Twitter and its creation myth were hatched in San Francisco. And these are the people that the city's neoliberal politicians are giving $22 million in corporate welfare to?!?! We can think of some more worthy sources in The City.
after skimming the NYT article.
1. How empty, useless, vapid all this tech "innovation" is. And the enormous waste of talent on such frivolous... crap. As a society, we could be deciding democratically what we would like our most brilliant minds to focus on. We could offer large prizes for people to discover cures for diseases, find ways to stop global warming, take us to Mars, whatever. Instead... you have some obviously intelligent and creative people sitting around thinking of clever little apps for their toys.
"Hey dude, googlecorp just added a feature that lets hipsters tell their friends what music they're streaming in the bathroom. That makes our amazing entrepreneurial project irrelevant dude! What do we do now?"
"Uh... OK, let's brainstorm. Maybe we can write an app that lets groups of friends talk to each other. We'll call it 'groups.'"
"Nah. Three other startups are doing the same thing."
"OK... how 'bout we make a program where people can say what they're doing right now... like 'sitting on the toilet', or 'taking a nap'... in 160 characters."
"Isn't that kind of like a text message?"
"Ok, make it 140 characters."
"OMG! Brilliant!"
"And make it so that they don't hafta use their phone."
"We'll call it 'twit!'. No wait... 'twitter'. Dude, we're gonna be billionaires, dude!"
If you needed any more proof of the insanity of the market deciding our priorities, look no further than Twitter.
2. The amount of sheer dumb luck involved in success or failure of a given enterprise... which of course is closely related to #1. Since basically all of these ideas are useless and have no intrinsic value to society, there's a lot of dumb luck involved in which one really takes off. One could just as well imagine the dilemma of an early investor in the flower trade in the 1600's. Do I invest my guilders into hyacinths? Or into tulips? Which will the market of 1637 value? If it's 1636, your guess is as good as mine.
And all these people probably think they're brilliant because society bestows amazing riches on them. They can buy lamborghinis without batting an eye and brag that they're "self-made."
And sure. These people are obviously bright and creative. But is the guy who started Twitter any better than the guys who started any number of other useless websites that failed?
And are any of them really worth thousands and thousands of times as much as a nurse working in a hospital, or chemist, or even the guy who wakes up at 4AM so that your garbage gets picked up instead of piling up every day?
as to why the USA doesn't do more, Manhattan project, Apollo program type stuff anymore, those things helped win a war and scared the shit out of the commies, as well as gave us countless technical innovations. There has been some misses such as Reagans Star Wars thing, that was an idiotic black hole, but the USA had some real winners in general. A energy project in the style of post Sputnik science would be good start.
Alas the educrats would be worked up that our students were not getting socialized correctly and spending to much time in the LED lab.
One wonders though, why does the cream of the progressive intellectual crop go into such jejune occupations as studies fields. Fields where there is really no wrong answer other than not agreeing with the person in the front of the room. In the 80's I was in engineering classes with mostly middle class types with little political interest that I could note, I surprised many of them with my pro abortion and gay rights views though, perhaps the first they ever met? It was when I was required to take electives with the soft headed that I really discovered the real "intellectuals." ahem
There are some pretty awesome left wing types in the hard sciences such as Richard Dawkins. In general the hard sciences are apolitical, while the soft sciences are often jokes on themselves, sociologists in search of an argument to fit their agenda, the inequity nonsense so popular here. University mass transit experts with a healthy disdain for the average citizen, we all know what I am talking about.
Greg's best and brightest are busy racked with self guilt counting angels on the heads of pins or finding ways to coerce the population out of happy meal toys.
By the way, we as a society do pick democratically what we want, you make choices everyday with what you spend your money on, correct? People vote with their dollars everyday, they don't really need the Greg's of the world to tell them what is best for them around idiotic internet crap.
In a society where everyone votes with their dollars, the people with more dollars get more votes.
Not democracy.
Not even a "free market".
(ps: You should write when you are not completely drunk more often. You actually said some stuff that was intelligible and even made sense.)
Lose "jejune": The term is so esoteric and effete that it emotionally evokes the opposite of its own meaning. Just use something simpler and less pseudo-intellectual, like "unsophisticated" or "banal" (or even "effete" if that is what you were getting at). Woody Allen employed "jejune" in the dialogue of one of his films as joke to poke fun at overly self-important pompous use of language; this ironic comic twist now being the word's only imaginable truly effective use.
And lose Dawkins: His selfish gene theory is hopelessly myopic, and his religious zealotry about atheism is, well... religious zealotry... One can promote secularism much more effectively when not ramming it down other people's throats with a giant basalt pestle.
disagree with. When an election sometimes goes the way you want, suddenly the democratic process is working perfectly. If not, it has been "bought" or there was voter fraud.
The left has always struggled with democracy, which is why most socialist governments in history have abolished elections and suppressed opposition. And in the case of Germany, built a wall to keep the people in when they wanted to escape.
Why do people call for boycotts of products and services?
Why do people protest and picket outside of places attempting to get people not to shop at stores or stay at hotels?
Why are there documentaries about Walmart and other such operations if not to make people aware of their business practices and to get people not to shop there?
Why does the city want to coerce people into the renewable energy program if it isn't party about rewarding a company with dollars for offering a service you agree with?
None of this is voting with dollars?
Much of the lefts purpose for existence has gone up in smoke with you and Greg here with your doctrinaire postings.
People vote with their dollars every day, the people progressives claim to speak for but really loath vote with their dollars by buying expensive phones everyday.
They are not buying telescopes, microscopes, ohm meters or rock hammers, they may be buying three beam balances though.
The point is not that voting with dollars never works. Of course voting with one's dollars works.
The problem is your absurdly equating 'voting with dollars' as the prime mode for democracy.
It clearly isn't, because it empowers people who have more dollars over any others who have fewer.
So 'voting' with dollars is effective, but it certainly isn't democracy.
I'm sure they are quaking with fear. OMG what if the poorest person in SF doesn't shop here?
that is by the far the most profoundly stupid thing i have ever seen written on any blog, ever
first, dumb ass, people organize boycotts to get *other* people to not buy products or services, not just themselves
second, you are highlighting *exactly* what he is talking about (while asininely thinking that you are dissing his comment) by stating so perfectly that people with less money have less influence in a system where we all vote with money
must simply be
the biggest idiot
who ever walked the face of the earth
and this is proved by the fact that you inanely thought you'd been so incredibly clever
when, in fact, you have both, actually made his point vastly more obvious to everyone
and also revealed that you are so dumb you don't even know how boycotts work
what a moron
you can't even get trolling right
and that's a *tough* fail to manage
when you have fully inserted your head up your ass
diving it up there even deeper doesn't help get it out
It's all very nice to say vote with your dollars. But Eric's precisely correct that the problem with that is that it's not democracy. Those with more dollars get more votes. I vote with my dollars too. But I have more choices than someone who makes minimum wage. I have the option to use my dollars to buy a few "votes" in the capitalist economy, which some people don't have at all. And then there are the Waltons and the Adelsons of the world. I can boycott things all I want with my puny "votes," but they have billions of dollars to not only "outvote" me but buy media and politicians to shape how other people vote. That's not democracy.
make any effort to get money in the first place. But we Americans invest a massive amount of energy in making and accumulating wealth precisely because it gets us more of everything - products, services and, yes, influence.
The point made earlier about boycotts was valid - Eric threatening to boycott a business is risible because he somehow contrives to make an annual income with no disposable money anyway. You're in a better position, as you say, and others are in a much better position again.
In the end it is all OK though, because the businesses that throw the most money at influencing elections and politicians are also the business that employ the most people, and provide the most products and services to the most people. In other words, those businesses ARE us and, as the saying goes, the business of America is business.
Americans love business because it is business that brings us all our prosperity. Eric never brought prosperity to anyone, and therefore has very little influence. Works for me.
And that makes Greg furious.
How could the people he claims to speak for be so stupid?
He claims that people voting with their dollars to buy Iphones is meaningless
But when people boycott businesses with their dollars, then it is suddenly meaningful.
I said that people voted with their dollars around their silly phones.
Whatever you read into it after that is on you and your pal Greg.
All that crazy nonsense about getting people to vote on science priorities, whatever crazy shit.
ah well, it was interesting while it lasted
see you you next time you can string two coherent thoughts together meathead
Greg, I agree 100 percent.
The absurdity of how our species' pool of most intelligent minds is directed towards creating societal dreck fits in with my not-nearly-so-absurd theory that our planet is in thrall to malevolent extraterrestrial interlopers who direct us in self-destructive directions to suit their own ends.
Stupid? Maybe. But every one of them gets a vote. Clearly we should abolish democracy because voters are stupid.
I'm not aware that the city actually gave Twitter any money. What they did is to cut a favorable tax deal to keep Twitter in the city.
Has the SFBG ever explained how they were going to keep Twitter in the city without granting some concessions? Twitter had to move, they did move, and they also had to satisfy investors and employees who were counting on an IPO. Hence Brisbane beckoned.
Yes, there were some concessions made but it is not like they are here tax free and the concessions were relatively short term. Meanwhile they are helping to invigorate a blighted, almost Detroitesque section of the city.
Could someone please point me to the part where the SFBG explains how they would have kept Twitter in the city with making concessions?
It isn't up to San Francisco to "keep Twitter in the city," particularly when it involves a $22 million tax break, the largest offered by any California city in recent years. The company's extortionary threat to leave simply allowed these kids to pad the profits of their investors and landlords, with money from struggling city taxpayers. As this article makes clear, San Francisco has been central to Twitter's creation myth, and if they want to fuck up their story and move to Brisbane, then good riddance. All most San Franciscans are getting from subsidizing Twitter's new headquarters are higher rents. Companies like Twitter and Airbnb are good for San Francisco only to the extent that they're good community partners, and the bare minimum for that should be paying their fair share of taxes, and I would say they should go even futher to share the wealth with the city that has incubated them. Instead, all they're displaying is greed, duplicity, and an ammoral willingness to say or do anything to further their self-interest, even when it hurts the public interest.
They simply announced that they were considering a relocation to Brisbane, partly for tax reasons, and SF realized that the city would lose far more than a lousy 22 million if they did, and so came up with an incentive that was sufficient to keep a world-beating innovator in SF.
What you overlook are the indirect benefits of having high-paid tech jobs in the city. as well as the payroll tax and the property taxes on the offices they rent, it is widely publicized that each new tech job in SF creates five spinoff jobs in the service and construction sectors. And of course that leads toe xtra sales taxes, payroll taxes, property taxes and so on.
Further, the transformation of mid-Market is already evident. It's cleaner, it's brighter, it's safer and it's more successful. Everyone wins.
Just amazing. Does anyone have any idea what Steven is talking about?
How did they extort anything? In one sentence Steven claims that they offer the city no benefit, in the next he says that their plan to move out was 'extortion'.
I love the part about their plans to move to Brisbane being 'extraordinary'.
How dare a business look at relocating to a different area that offers tax benefits!!!!
I'm sorry, Steven just cracks me up.
black is white and day is night. Kinda like a discussion group for people with advanced psychotic disorders about the book Alice through the Looking Glass .
It isn't up to San Francisco to keep Twitter in the city?
Because, apparently, municipal governments have no interest in attracting and keeping businesses?
I love the way that Steven quotes this stuff like it is an obvious truth. It just cracks me up.
that his vision for SF is almost post-apocalyptic. Business leaves, prosperity wanes, the police are constrained, the public sector grows inexorably and gets paid more and more, landlords and investors are discouraged by high taxes and increasing regulation, illegals, criminals, the homeless and the insane are encouraged, and there are 24-hour pot stands everywhere.
It's like Mad Max meets Karl Marx in Steven's fantasy world. And he won't be happy until SF is like Detroit.
>"As this article makes clear, San Francisco has been central to Twitter's creation myth"
Actually, it does no such thing.
It is about how Jack Dorsey promotes himself as the creator of Twitter when in fact he was only one player. They compare him to Steve Jobs who was also part of a team.
Yes, much of the Time's story is set in San Francisco but to say that it couldn't have taken place in Mountain View or Palo Alto or Redmond is nonsensical. Especially for these connected types of business people who can operate anywhere.
happened in San Mateo and Santa Clara counties precisely because they are more business-friendly.
The article isn't really negative about Twitter. It is just a history of how it was created and whether it was actually a collaboration rather than the creation of one or two people.
I'm sure that they SFBG liked the title with the word 'myth' in it, but next time you should actually read the article before using it as an argument.
Against my better judgement, I'll respond to some of this stuff... until matlock's penchant for trollish last-wordism and plain old incoherence takes over.
"I'm at a loss as to why the USA doesn't do more, Manhattan project, Apollo program type stuff anymore, those things helped win a war and scared the shit out of the commies"
Actually you have it somewhat backwards. Sputnik scared the shit out of the capitalists, so we rushed to catch up. But regardless of who was catching up with whom, the result of the science race was that a lot of useful stuff got invented. Another benefit of having more than one superpower around.
Moreover, I think the benefits extended into the social sphere. With the specter of communism always on the horizon, I think the American ruling class felt the need to provide for its own people to some extent. That's why FDR felt the need to save capitalism from itself. Now, however, capitalism feels that it's supreme, as encapsulated beautifully in the ravings of such imbeciles as Francis Fukuyama. With seemingly no alternative powerful enough to challenge the dominant paradigm, the ruling class has decided that it's safe to openly devolve into the complete swine they always were. That will, of course, prove to be their own undoing, but that's another story.
"One wonders though, why does the cream of the progressive intellectual crop go into such jejune occupations as studies fields."
What the hell are "studies fields?" I guess this is where the "semi" part of "semi-coherent" comes in.
" I surprised many of them with my pro abortion and gay rights views though, perhaps the first they ever met?"
Indeed, perhaps it was. I've met many *anti*-abortion people; I've met many pro-*choice* people. But I've only met one genuinely self-described pro-abortion guy -an Israeli who believed that poor and minority women should be encouraged to have abortions. Maybe it was his Israeli background, where eugenics and ethnic cleansing enjoys broader support, but here in the US, I've never met anyone else who openly described themselves as "pro-abortion." Until now, of course.
"There are some pretty awesome left wing types in the hard sciences such as Richard Dawkins."
Actually Richard Dawkins isn't particularly left-wing. He says that when Labour and Tories were the main choices, he was a Labour voter. But ever since the creation of the Lib Dems, he's voted Lib Dem. In other words, far from being left-wing, he's more of a classic liberal. He's just not bigoted or insane. The fact that a committed centrist like Dawkins seems left-wing to you, shows the depth of your own blind hatred.
If you're looking for "awesome" people in the hard sciences who really are on the left, there's no shortage of other names one could have thought of: Albert Einstein, Linus Pauling, Stephen Hawking, Micheo Kaku, J Robert Oppenheimer, etc.
As a whole, the political demographics of the hard science community looks a lot like the political demographics of San Francisco:
I don't think they're so "left-wing," as the rest of the country is just so far off to the right. Reality, as they say, has a progressive bias.
"In general the hard sciences are apolitical"
In general, I agree. The fact that the great majority of those in the hard sciences find themselves on the left of at least the US political spectrum, shows how far off the deep end this country has gone. These days, if you agree with current state of human knowledge in fields like evolutionary biology and climate science, you come under attack from the flat-earthers that have taken over a large segment of US politics.
" while the soft sciences are often jokes on themselves"
Like economics? I totally agree.
"sociologists in search of an argument to fit their agenda, the inequity nonsense so popular here"
Except it's not nonsense. Human beings have an innate and demonstrable sense of justice from an early age, when that sense of equity and justice is violated, you get strife in all sorts of areas.
See, the reason why the soft sciences like econ are such a joke, is that they tell us nothing about the way the world works in reality. I love to read The Economist's predictions for the coming year just for the laughs, because they're amazingly good at coming out dead wrong.
Inequity researchers, like Wilkinson and Pickett, on the other hand, are telling us things that are instructive. They're explaining things that traditional capitalist economics can't explain. They're showing it with data, and when these methods are applied to settings other than the original, they still show the same things. So it seems like they're onto something important.
"University mass transit experts with a healthy disdain for the average citizen, we all know what I am talking about."
No, we don't all know what you're talking about. But that's nothing new, as you're rarely even as semi-coherent as you were in this post. Most of the time, you just rant like a rabid dog, and the only thing anyone can discern from your writing is that you hate progressives.
" we as a society do pick democratically what we want, you make choices everyday with what you spend your money on, correct? People vote with their dollars everyday"
This sums up the way a capitalist thinks of "democracy." In reality, a democracy is where *people* have a say in proportion to their numbers. In America, *money* has a say in proportion to its concentration. That's not a democracy.
If we were to gather a representative cross-section of America... liberals, conservatives, poor, middle class, rich (a tiny few, of course, in proportion to their representation), white, Hispanic, etc... and we were to ask them to come up with a priority list of areas of scientific study we should be spending our resources on, I seriously doubt that new apps for iphones would be anywhere near the top of the list.
But that's the difference between market priorities, and people's priorities. It's the difference between democracy and capitalism.
That's your best piece yet.
"This sums up the way a capitalist thinks of "democracy." In reality, a democracy is where *people* have a say in proportion to their numbers. In America, *money* has a say in proportion to its concentration. That's not a democracy. "
If Wallmart moved in next to your house you would shop there because you don't care what your spending reflects? I wouldn't shop there, I would vote with my dollars. You would shop there and then send another bitter e-mail to your BOS member?
People want these technology widgets, this demand was created by all these people you think would be voting for some Gemini program around moving sidewalks. When I go to the phone store on Mission St I see them voting with their dollars, they buy expensive phones with lots of ridiculous apps. The revolution will have to wait I think.
I would love to see your vision of representative voting. Would it all be based on how many socio-ethno check boxes a person can mark?
Most people in the hard sciences don't make it about their politics, people in the soft sciences do. Dawkins has used his celebrity to move out of his area into religion and politics witch is fairly rare, I don't mind him because in general I agree with him. The people who wrote "the Spirit Level" had an agenda they filled up with a book. The goofy lefts myriad of "experts" are always on about something idiotic to do with education, traffic, how to remake the world or some such non sense. Society changes organically, why people don't trust and believe these "experts" must puzzle the shit out of you.
For quick change remember Mao, "Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun"
We were ahead of the Soviets in space technology, the common narrative around Sputnik is wrong. It was a wake up call for the America though, the Soviets were up first with a worse product just to fuck with the USA, it worked and backfired for them at the same time. The Manhattan project did much of the work for the Soviets thanks to David Greenglass and other liberals, the soviets were always a second rate operation.
The best and brightest on the left go into studies fields, womens studies, Chicano studies, etc... The true believer left take up the soft sciences where they go to proclaim and make the evidence fit their agenda, which has them shouting in the wilderness of fellow travelers. You won't find many Richard Hofstadter's anymore, you will find a lot of Ward Churchills though. Although there is more quantitative noise, there is far less qualitative.
Sure real scientists are often regular liberal, but they seldom make an issue of it, and they don't go into the sciences to harass their citizens with their agenda. A certain different perspective might help, women moving into the sciences in some areas has helped.
The fringe left has often had a comical relationship to science much like the comical religious right. The Sokal Affair comes to mind. Thankfully post modernism and other nutty expert operations keep to their end of the campus.
The UK Lib-Dems are now to the left of the UK Labour Party despite their notion participation in the Cameron's coalition. As an example, the Libs are pro-Europe whereas Labour has always been cynical of the UK being in Europe (more accurately, both the far left and far right agree on disliking EU membership, as it gives power to the moderate majority.
Blair was quite like Clinton in his economic policies, for instance, and both liked to place constraints on welfare while acknowledging the primacy of business. While the Lib-Dems, perhaps because they rarely have any power, can inhabit the fairy-take world of high taxes and public ownership.
As for whether a focus group of ordinary people would have come up with the idea of investing to invent the i-phone, well, you're right, they wouldn't have. But then isn't that the beauty of how the private sector works - it doesn't just create what focus groups say that they want. Rather they envisage a whole new classification of product that those same people love - they just never would have thought of it themselves.
As for something like a cure for cancer, which no doubt the focus group would come up with, there is of course public money spent on that as well as private money. The more interesting questions is which one that cure will come from. I'd bet the private sector but I'm sure that you would not.
because if a product can't be designed to fail after a certain date, capitalists don't want any part of it - because they can no longer sell the product over and over again if it is a permanent fix to a problem or need
a cure for cancer would decimate ongoing and endless billions in profit making of pharmaceutical corporations
corporations which currently perpetually keep people on the edge and inside of chronic illnesses without every curing those illnesses
and then look back at it over time and see parts of your theory and conjecture come true. It would be like an "In Search of Episode."
Send your ideas to yourself in the mail and then don't open the letters. Then in ten years open them in front of a group of lawyers or whatever and show off your brilliance, then write a book and retire with your riches.
To take your "theory" one step further, its counter intuitive but healthy people take longer to die and cost more in the process.
The conspiracy should...
Cure someone of cancer and make that money, then wait ten years and the conspiracy can make some more money as they linger into oblivion with some slow and more costly disease. Cure them of cancer and then later rake it in with; diabetes, heart disease, investing in retirement homes, arthritis prescriptions, the list is endless.
You think way to small.
in fact you have just proved my point
big pharma has realized that its poor performance on cancer and AIDS drugs has too quickly killed patients that could have lived much longer thereby allowing those patients to buy more pharmaceuticals
so recently, a noticeable dramatic change has occurred in AIDS drugs which are no longer so ill designed or outright toxic that they are quickly killing the patients, instead we have almost equally expensive AIDS drug "cocktails" that keep patients alive perpetually, but with a constant need for the expensive drugs
no cure there of course
it's a little more nascent, but the same strategies will likely emerge in the cancer "treatment" industry
but outright prevention or cures of AIDS or cancer?
no way in hell from for-profit companies
because there is no profit in it
i suggest you read up on the science of the subject. It has various problems that make a cure tough.
I suppose they just need to get the papers from the CIA lab where it was created or something like that I suppose?
before neo-liberal capitalism took over everything, we were curing diseases left and right
now we almost never do
and this is because profit has become god
Again, a quick trip through the science of the disease would tell you why a cure is tough. There are also literally thousands of people working on this, if there was a quick fix one of those thousands would have let it loose.
Your weird conspiracy theory around this without knowing the first thing about the science helps to explain your simple minded troll obsession.
on a website filled with moronic comments, this takes the cake.
Do you know how many people have been cured of cancer and of the increases in survival rates of many types of cancers? How people who 30 years ago would have been facing a death sentence when they got their diagnosis are now surviving and thriving?
your moronic post is an insult to every doctor and scientist who are out there trying to alleviate and cure people's suffering.
feel free to reject the capitalist's "product" when cancer hits you or somebody that you care about.
the cancer industry (the apt name for what it actually is) "cures" less than 5% of cancers (with the exception of a tiny handful of specific unique types like leukemia)
here are a couple of reports which show how the cancer industry games the concept of "cures" to make it look like they are healing people, when they are not (which allows the industry to continue to make billions selling the public massively expensive radiation and chemo treatments which do not work, and make people's live worse, not better)
Something may come out of the Human Genome project(as an example) mixed with something researched from the private sector may cure some forms of cancers.
This is how this has historically worked.
but the key is that the private sector will never do this on its own
Reconsider, Greg. There is scant basis on which to claim that modern neo-liberals are more "classic liberals" than the labor/left.
I take "classic liberal" to mean classically in favor of an egalitarian society wherein anybody can attain the highest office based on natural ability and effort without regard to birthright or birth name.
Neo-liberals work to create a more stratified society by encouraging mass formations of wealth.
"Reconsider, Greg. There is scant basis on which to claim that modern neo-liberals are more "classic liberals" than the labor/left."
I didn't say that. We were talking about Dawkins and the Lib Dems, the party Dawkins identifies with. Neither is a neo-liberal per se, so much as they are economic liberals in the classical sense. Someone made the argument that today's Lib Dems are to the left of Labour. They were talking about the UK Labour Party, not labor/left in general. I'm not sure I even buy that. Maybe on some issues, and previous Lib Dem leader Charles Kennedy was sort of taking it in that direction. But there was pushback from within his ranks among many party members who didn't see a future for the Lib Dems as a left-wing alternative to Labour. Current leader Nick Clegg has actually joined the Tories in a coalition.
I never mentioned neoliberals at all.
Am from south Africa...i saw this comment on positive blogs and i will love to tell everybody how my status changes to negative, and am now a living witness of it and i think its a shame on me if i don't share this lovely story with other people infected with this deadly virus...,hiv has been ongoing in my family... i lost both parents to hiv,. and it is so much pain ive not been able to get over.. as we all know medically there is no solution to it..and medication is very expensive. So someone introduced me to a native medical practitioner in Africa. I had a job there to execute so i took time to check out on him. I showed him all my tests and results.. i was already diagnosed with hiv and it was already taking its towel on me.. i had spent thousands of dollars so i decided to try him out...i was on his dosage for 6 weeks. although i didn't believe in it, i was just trying it out of frustration... and after 2 weeks, i went for new tests... and you wont believe that 5 different doctors confirmed it that am negative. It was like a dream,, i never believe aids has cure. Am now negative, am a living witness. I don't know how to thank this man... i just want to help others in any way i can have joined many forums and have posted this testimonies and alot of people has mail and called this man on phone and after 2 months they all confirmed negative..bbc news took it live and every.. hope he helps you out.. everybody saw it and its now out in papers and magazines that there's native cure for hiv and all with the help of this man,,have tried my own parts and all left with you,,if you like take it or not..god knows have tried my best. About 97 people have been confirmed negative through me..and they send mails to thanks me after they have been confirmed negative, this man is real. Don't miss this chance,,hiv is a deadly virus, get rid of it now.. firstname.lastname@example.com or call
i want to share a testimony on how i was cured from HIV by a man called Dr. Aluta of email@example.com who is very good in what he does for people. I was diagnosed of HIV in NOV. 2011 and since then i have not been living a normal life with my family, my husband and kid left me because they tested negative, i was the only who was carrying the disease and i have been living a life full of pain and sorrows because of the disease i was having inside of me, until i meant a testimony about a woman who was cured be Doctor Aluta, i was skeptical at first, but latter on i decided to give the Dr. a try, and in just 4 days after i contacted him, he told me every thing to do which i did and then he told me to go for a test to check if the cure he gave to me had worked, and i really went for the test and to my greatest surprise the disease i have been carrying for almost 3 years disappeared, and i was very happy, after that i called my husband and told him of the good news, and now i am very happy to tell you that i and my family are now living happy with out problems, and if you are also in this kind of situation, i will advice you to contact him today through his email. email@example.com or call him with his mobile number. +2348077526430. god bless Dr. Aluta for the good work he did in my life.
Howdy just wanted to give you a quick heads up and let you know a few of the pictures aren't loading correctly.
I'm not sure why but I think its a linking issue.
I've tried it in two different internet browsers
and both show the same results.

Everyone knows that in SQL 2000, yes 2000, Microsoft jumped aboard the bandwagon of other platforms, and gave the developers the abilitiy to create user defined functions. This was sorely missing from the TSQL toolset, and the ability to CREATE FUNCTIONs, has reduced the development time and simplified coding. Finally this powerful capability opened up new ways to integrate the code logic into TSQL via these functions without hundreds of lines of complicated code and use of temp tables to store results. Now the functionality has gotten even better. You can review the msdn library reference for Creating User Defined Functions.
The book, which refers to the latest release of SQL Server, 'Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 Unleashed', has an entire chapter dedicated to Creating and Managing User-Defined Functions, including discussions on what's new in 2008 R2, why use User Defined Functions, the types of UDFs, creating and managing UDFs, rewriting stored procedures as UDFs, and creating and using CLR functions. It is quite in-depth about the topic, and that's only one chapter! Definitely consider having this latest reference on your bookshelf or in your digital library!
UDFs allow you to add custom solutions for unique application-specific problems. Tasks can be as simple as calculating a value or as complex as defining and implementing table constraints. SQL Server UDFs are subroutines of encapsulated Transact-SQL (T-SQL) logic that you can call into action via other T-SQL code to return a scalar (single) value or a table results.
Some of the main advantages of UDF's (over using stored procedures) are:
- UDFs return table variables.
- You can call a UDF from a SELECT statement.
- You can join to a UDF.
So, since I was recently assigned a task to come up with some validation functions, those that would take an input parameter, and either validate it against the code for things like format, syntax, invalid characters, length, is it numeric, etc.
More specifically, to explain it in practical terms, have you ever had to fill in a form on-line? Well, unless you've been in a cave for the last 25 or so years, and never ordered anything on the Internet, then the answer is obviously, "YES!". What are the typical things a web-form will ask you for? Besides your name, most forms will require your email address, phone number, and maybe your web-site address (URL). Some credit cards, banks and government agencies may also require your Social Security Number for security purposes as well. Of course we assume that you know the site is legitimate, and when you enter this info, it is on a highly secured site using SSL. Right? Well, that's a security/phishing topic for a whole other blog, but sometimes you will need to enter your SSN to continue through the site.
Once you enter this information, often times the site highlights your entries in red, or outputs a message that for some reason your email address is invalid. Maybe, you forgot or misplace the '.' in .com, or the '@' symbol, for example. For your phone number or SSN, perhaps it is not properly formatted - ie your phone number has invalid characters or not numeric. Heck, most often as long as you enter 10 valid digits for your telephone (we're talking local not international), the site will format it for you! It may even recognize a bum web-site, and tell you its not a valid URL. Therefore, the question I seek to answer is, "how are these sites so smart?" and "how do they know your information is invalid". Almost for certain, the code behind the application is using validation functions.
Using SQL Server User Defined Functions, I will demonstrate this here. First, you must open up your imagination, and be able to take these basic functions, and modify the heck outta them, to customize to your needs. The following functions don't delete any data, but they are "as-is" with no warranty. Feel free to use these in your own application/development.
These functions can help you scrub, validate and format data before it is committed to your database(s). Remember, good data in, good data out. Conversely, bad data in, badder data out. :-)
Rather than re-invent the wheel, I scoured the internet and Googled, and found some neat and handy validation functions that I am sharing with all of you right here on the PearlKnows blog. Although I made some of my own modifications, they are generally available on the Internet, and I am in no way taking credit for the original works.
Most of these return a bit as output - in this case 1=Valid, and 0=Invalid - but you can modify them to return a string/message. Of course, you can use the bit flag in your app code as well to return a more sophisticated output, even a specific message for why its invalid. You will also see in the code, comments on what each line of code is checking for. But, I will leave you to your own devices. So, take these as they are, and GO NUTS!
1. Email Validation: This function below basically checks for Nulls, invalid or duplicate characters, and looks for '@' and '.' in the formatting. Once created, you will run the following t-sql:
select dbo.udf_ValidateEmail('email@example.com')
Create FUNCTION udf_ValidateEmail (@email varChar(255)) RETURNS bit AS begin return ( select Case When @Email is null then 0 --NULL Email is invalid When charindex(' ', @email) <> 0 or --Check for invalid character charindex('/', @email) <> 0 or --Check for invalid character charindex(':', @email) <> 0 or --Check for invalid character charindex(';', @email) <> 0 then 0 --Check for invalid character When len(@Email)-1 <= charindex('.', @Email) then 0--check for '%._' at end of string When @Email like '%@%@%'or @Email Not Like '%@%.%' then 0--Check for duplicate @ or invalid format Else 1 END ) end
2. Social Security Number - SSN Validation: We all know that our SSNs are 9-digits long, and follows the standard format of xxx-xx-xxxx. Therefore, we would want to validate that it is in fact 9-digits, the characters are numeric [0-9], and ensure that the format is indeed the right length for each section - ie: 3-2-4. After you create this nice function, you can test it by running various offshoots (try to enter invalid data), but basically looks like:
CREATE FUNCTION udf_ValidateSSN(@SSN varchar(50)) RETURNS BIT AS BEGIN DECLARE @ValidFlag BIT SET @ValidFlag = 0 IF @SSN LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' BEGIN IF LEFT(@SSN,3) != '000' AND SUBSTRING(@SSN,5,2) != '00' AND RIGHT(@SSN,4) != '0000' BEGIN SET @ValidFlag = 1 RETURN ( @ValidFlag) END END IF @SSN LIKE '[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9]' BEGIN IF LEFT(@SSN,3) != '000' AND SUBSTRING(@SSN,4,2) != '00' AND RIGHT(@SSN,4) != '0000' BEGIN SET @ValidFlag = 1 RETURN ( @ValidFlag) END END RETURN ( @ValidFlag) END GO
3. Validate/Format Phone Number: There's always confusion on how to enter a phone number, unless there's a note next to the field that says: "xxx-xxx-xxxx" or "(xxx) xxx-xxxx" or even xxxxxxxxxx. A smart function will take all inputs and simply format it the way the end-user wants it stored in the database. For this we can validate the input, and standardize the format of the entered telephone number. This cool function is a bit more sophisticated, in that it does two things, validate the data; and format it to a standard form. It first checks if the data is numeric, is 10-digits in length, does not have a '1' at the beginning, etc. What it wants the user to enter is, 10-digits, no dashes, and it will format '3124457689' to '312-445-7689'. I'm sure you can modify it to accept the dashes. You can test it out as:
select [dbo].[udf_ValFormatPhone] ('3124445678')
CREATE FUNCTION [dbo].[udf_ValFormatPhone] (@phone NVARCHAR(255)) RETURNS NVARCHAR(255) AS BEGIN--function declare @i int, @repCount int declare @current_char char(1) declare @phone_new varchar(50) set @phone_new = rtrim(ltrim(@phone)) if left(@phone_new, 1) = '1' set @phone_new = right(@phone_new, len(@phone_new) -1) set @i = 1 while @i <= len(@phone) begin set @repCount = 0 if @i > len(@phone_new) break set @current_char = substring(@phone_new, @i, 1) if isnumeric(@current_char) <> 1 begin set @repCount = len(@phone_new) - len(replace(@phone_new, @current_char, '')) set @phone_new = replace(@phone_new, @current_char, '') end set @i = @i + 1 - @repCount end if isnumeric(@phone_new) = 1 and len(@phone_new) = 10 set @phone_new = substring(@phone_new, 1,3) + '-' + substring(@phone_new, 4,3) + '-' + substring(@phone_new, 7,4) else set @phone_new = 'invalid entry' return @phone_new END --function
4. Validate URL - This one is an interesting and neat function, a bit unique, and one that I can source back to and credit to Adam Machanic. (<click on the link for original source) It creates a UDF, and uses Object Automation to validate the site from SQL Server. And let me emphasize, it actually validates the URL itself, not just the string! So, it will attempt to connect to the internet, and check if the URL actually resolves. It tries to address the timeout connection, and you will need to enable the 'OLE Automation' configuration option for this to work.
sp_configure 'Show Advanced Options',1
sp_configure 'Ole Automation Procedures',1
And, then, once you create the function, you can run:
SELECT dbo.udf_ValidateURL('http://www.microsoft.com/sql')
1 <--if valid will return 1, otherwise 0
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.ValidateURL(@URL VARCHAR(300)) RETURNS BIT AS BEGIN DECLARE @Object INT DECLARE @Return TINYINT DECLARE @Valid BIT SET @Valid = 0 --default to false --create the XMLHTTP object EXEC @Return = sp_oacreate 'MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP.3.0', @Object OUTPUT IF @Return = 0 BEGIN DECLARE @Method VARCHAR(350) --define setTimeouts method --Resolve, Connect, Send, Receive SET @Method = 'setTimeouts(45000, 45000, 45000, 45000)' --set the timeouts EXEC @Return = sp_oamethod @Object, @Method IF @Return = 0 BEGIN --define open method SET @Method = 'open("GET", "' + @URL + '", false)'--Open the connection EXEC @Return = sp_oamethod @Object, @Method END IF @Return = 0 BEGIN --SEND the request EXEC @Return = sp_oamethod @Object, 'send()' END IF @Return = 0 BEGIN DECLARE @Output INT EXEC @Return = sp_oamethod @Object, 'status', @Output OUTPUT IF @Output = 200 BEGIN SET @Valid = 1 END END END --destroy the object EXEC sp_oadestroy @Object RETURN (@Valid) END
So there you have it! Four handy user validation functions that you can use in your code to validate, format, and scrub data as needed. I hope this information has been helpful! Happy coding!

The Aplington-Parkersburg school district will be able to pay for upgrades after voters approved a levy in Tuesday's special election.
The 2008 tornado forced the district to build a brand new high school, and while the town is proud of their speedy recovery and the new building, administrators say the unexpected build put a strain on funding other things.
"Some of that's long term debt, some of that's short term. Great things but it did kind of put us behind in our ability to purchase new technology, up to date technologies, keep our fleet of vehicles up to date," said Jon Thompson, superintendent.
Tuesday night voters approved and extended a Physical Plant and Equipment Property (PPEL) levy to help with those funds.
This means residents will pay 57 cents more per thousand dollars in taxable value. For a $100,000 home, about $28 per year.
Librarian Nancy Flanigan says it's worth it.
"Every day it's just increasing the technology and boy we just need to get right in there and I think that's the way the future for our kids when they graduate, they have to know how to use all these programs," said Nancy Flanigan, librarian.
Strange formation at bottom of Utah irrigation pond baffles farmers and scientists. John Hollenhorst reports.

Atlanta Hawks guard Lou Williams left the game with an apparent knee injury in the second quarter of his team's game against the Brooklyn Nets after crumpling to the court after driving to the hoop. Willliams was in serious pain as the injury took him sprawling to the court. According to the team's official Twitter feed, he was taken off the court in a wheelchair.
The Hawks are already playing shorthanded, as Anthony Morrow and DeShawn Stevenson aren't even in Brooklyn dealing with their own injuries and Al Horford isn't in the lineup.
Williams has resumed his job as a microwave bench scorer with the Hawks since coming over from the Philadelphia 76ers in the offseason. He has averaging 14.5 points and 3.7 assists per game so far this season. The Hawks are keeping it close with the Nets just before halftime. You'll recall the Nets' eight-game win streak ended in Atlanta earlier this week.
