Matthews 'Worried' Hillary Could Get Good Headlines?
Slip of the tongue, or was the man who gets a thrill up his leg from Barack Obama's rhetoric voicing his innermost apprehension at the prospect of Hillary Clinton regaining the upper hand?
On this afternoon's Hardball, host Chris Matthews was discussing the March 4th Texas primary with Wayne Slater of the Dallas Morning News, John Heilemann of New York magazine, and Norah O'Donnell. The MSNBCer made the point that under the arcane Texas rules in which the race is a hybrid of caucus and primary, it's possible for one candidate to win the popular vote and the other to walk off with more delegates.
That seemed to trigger Chris's anxiety reflex at the prospect of Hillary getting good publicity . . .
NORAH O'DONNELL: Hillary's campaign is increasingly worried about the state of Texas. Not only because the polls show it tightening, but also because of this very convoluted delegate what that it's apportioned in that state, which means that she could win the state in terms of percentage points and that he could end up winning more delegates.Have a look at the video. It does seem that Matthews realizes that he let his pro-Obama cat out of the bag, and quickly moves to cover himself by casting the matter in terms of what Hillary needs to do.
CHRIS MATTHEWS: Who gets the headline, Norah?
O'DONNELL: Which isn't fair.
MATTHEWS: Who gets the headline?
O'DONNELL: She may get the headline because --
MATTHEWS: Now, is it the popular vote that gets the headline or the delegate vote gets the deadline?
O'DONNELL: Well, the delegate vote in the end matters.
MATTHEWS: Well who gets the headline the next day? I'm asking about this because of momentum. If Senator Clinton does do well tomorrow but loses by seven or eight points in Wisconsin, still able to say "I'm still in the game," then you go to Ohio and Texas on the fourth of March, which is two weeks hence, whoever gets that headline? Who gets the double-header? That's gonna matter. We're talking momentum here, we're not talking delegates because Hillary is way behind in delegates.
What I'm worried about is -- what I'm looking at -- Hillary's got to keep the momentum thing in check by getting that headline: "I won Texas and Ohio."

"Yes, it's dramatic, but a smoky eye is actually a very soft look," says makeup artist Mally Roncal, whose clients have included Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. "There are no harsh lines -- just a perfectly blended halo of color."
Trace a black eyeliner pencil along your upper and lower lash lines, as close to the lashes as possible. Make the line thicker on the top and thinner on the bottom, advises Roncal, but don't worry about getting it perfectly even. If you have almond-shaped or large eyes, also line the inner rims to amp up the intensity.

I was going to write a simple plug for Tim Smith's hitting lessons, but it turned into a nice little feature on him, including his story of the day he was traded to the Royals.
Clint Robinson - Moon Shots!
A Royals prospect is being promoted to AA tomorrow. Who could this be? Any guesses?
With the announcement of the Crow signing, I think we can now look at the AA Naturals as the team that we will all be keeping an eye on next year. Just like we did a few years back with Butler,...
Missed the first inning of the game, but innings two and three consisted of a lot of pitches, some sharply hit grounders/liners, a deep flyout and a Ryan Harvey HR. It looked like Cortes was throwing up in the zone. The fourth inning was easily his best. Cortes threw a high percentage of off-speed pitches down or below the zone for swinging strikes and K'd the side 1-2-3. The fifth inning consisted of a walk and very weak single to the right side when the second basemen went to cover the bag on a hit-and-run. The sixth inning was a struggle as Cortes walked the bases loaded with two outs and was lifted for Chris Hayes. Cortes was visibly frustrated and when he got to the dugout, slammed his glove and hat into the bench. When I was able to check, the stadium reading had his fastball anywhere from 89-92 mph and off-speed anywhere from 75-80.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

In the wide hallway, were rows and rows of vegetables in storage shelves ready to be taken down and entered to the menu. Mother and daughter had spent the summer gathering and canning for the winter months. Cornmeal was ground from our own stored corn and available for bread anytime. Flour had to be bought for biscuits, and other items like sweet potatoes, irish potatoes,and turnips were stored in an underground pit layered with straw or hay and covered with old quilts. Mother would hand one of us a big pan and send us to the pit to get the desired amount for her cooking.
We had a Christmas tree cut on the farm. The decorations were very slight compared to what we do today. Sometimes we could spray cones if we were lucky, or use them after dropped on the ground. A star was made by cutting out its outline on a torn-up box. If we were lucky, we may have some paper to cut in strips to hang on the tree. The only candy was stick cany and we would not risk putting it on the tree. It sort of had a way of disappearing. It was one of the few treats found in our stocking.
One of the boys was in row to get up around five o'clock and build up the fire in both fireplaces. I remember one year that I went into the back of the house and dragged a baby crib and placed it in front of the fireplace. I was determined to catch Santa once and for all times. My brother, Charles, was fixing up the fire when I awakened and what? Santa had already come and I missed him again. I had a little crack in my faith of a Santa when my mother had come into the house with some packages the days before and I was being a good girl and helping her unload and she laid a package on the bed and it cried. One of the only crying dolls that had entered our house, one of my brothers had gone to work in a coal mines and gave my mother some money to buy us gifts. I remember that I began to get suspicious of a real Santa after that day.
We lived on a 250-acre farm owned by Mr. E.C. Ellison, a lodge friend of my daddy's. My parents were hard workers. Daddy gave his knowledge of farming to everyone who asked. It was a hard life and demanded hard work from the whole family. My place in the family as baby of 12 children gave me an edge as far as hard work. By the time I became old enough to take a fair share of work, old age had hit and I had it a little easier in the work force.
Can you imagine how many nieces and nephews and their children and on and on are in our lineage?
All my siblings are gone and I remain the head of a huge family. Can you even imagine how many nieces, nephews, and extended families are in my family? In my immediate family, I only have one son and he died much too early.
I have two grandsons and great-grandchildren.
I wanted to keep the story short to take the space to thank you, my readers who have been so gracious to me for these many years. I send my love and wishes for all of you for a safe and happy holiday season for you and your families.

Charities Listings
The Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) maintains a searchable list of Canadian charities called the Charities Listings, which can be used to:
- confirm whether a charity is registered under the Income Tax Act and is therefore eligible to issue official donation receipts; and
- view a charity's contact information and Registered Charity Information Return, which includes financial information and activities.
- To search for other organizations that can issue official donation receipts, go to Other qualified donees listings.
- Complementing the Charities Listings is Charity Focus, a tool that was developed by Imagine Canada in partnership with the CRA. It provides an in-depth year-to-year comparison of a charity's financial information. Charities can also upload documents such as mission statements, program information, annual reports, and financial statements.
- The Charities Listings Search function does not support searches using automated scripts. Instead, request an electronic version of the results.
Quick View
Use the Charity Quick View to display a summary of the Registered Charity Information Return filed by charities for a fiscal period ending on or after December 1, 2010. The Full View feature remains available for all charities. For more information, go to Information for Charity Quick View users.
Quick View - A display that provides a summary of a registered or revoked charity's activities, revenues, and expenditures
Full View - A detailed display of a registered or revoked charity's activities, revenues, and expenditures
How else can I obtain Charities Listings information?
You can:

Honestly, when i first heard "Beautiful" months and months ago i was a little skeptical. The song for a while just sounded a little boring and bland… but over time i grew to really appreciate the message and overall vibe the song presents. When i bought the album and as soon as i gave it 1 listen through… i was sold. It was well worth the long wait that i was extremely anxious for. The cd takes you on a journey from start to finish, through the diversity this album presents. Jesse Hasek's voice and lyrics are astounding and extremely inspiring. This record has really made me look at my own songwriting skills in a different way. Easily one of my favorite cd's ever. I don't think i will be able to ever pick out favorites from the album i love them all!
10 Years Biography - 10 Years Discography - All Heavy Metal Bands
Creativity isn't manufactured on an assembly line. It can't be scheduled or forced and when it's not coming there's nothing to do but wait. That's what the members of Knoxville, Tennessee quintet, 10 Years, discovered when they started writing songs for their second album, Division, the follow-up to their debut The Autumn Effect. Having spent the better part of two years on the road, the band members planned in October 2006 to take a month off and then dive back into writing mode. They aimed to re-enter the studio in early 2007 and have their second album done by that spring. But just a few weeks after they started coming up with riffs and melodies, it became clear they were going to have to throw away the calendar. "We could have met our deadlines and gone into the studio in January," clarifies singer Jesse Hasek. "But we decided early on that we weren't going to allow ourselves to run through the motions. We felt like we really needed to challenge ourselves and do something fresh and different. And that took a little longer than we expected." As it turned out, Division was well worth the wait. Musically eclectic, technically adept and emotionally poignant, the songs shatter preconceptions, revealing a tapestry of previously unexplored influences and a larger array of stunning melodies. Like The Autumn Effect, the new album is filled with enveloping textures and heart-stopping dynamics, but the arrangements are more developed and the songwriting more mature, revealing a cavalcade of styles including metal, hard rock, punk, alternative pop and even classical.

Division is one of the most perfect cd's I have ever heard. From start to finish I was amazed at the musicianship and Jesse's vocals. The stand out tracks for me are 11:00 AM DayDramer, Russian Roulette, Just Can't Win, Picture Perfect, and All Your Lies. Check out So Long, Goodbye, it is the most beautiful song they have ever written. Before listening to it I didn't know what to expect and I was hoping it was going to be as good as the Autumn Effect, but I was amazed and I like it better. If you like 10 years or just appreciate music, buy this!!!!
Just saw this band at Rock on the Range and I have to say, they were fantastic. I had never heard of them until I saw their name in the lineup and I'm really glad I didn't miss them. Their sound is heavy but melodic and well written. I highly recommend this band and hope that they overcome their underrated status because they are very much deserving. Phenomenal overall production and now that I'm on board as a big fan, I'll be spreading the word as well. Check these guys out! You won't be disappointed!
First of all, these guys are extremely underrated. Not many people have heard of 10 years and that is a shame because they write damn good music. Division is on the softer side when compared to their debut, but the songs are written very well and they are very deep. There are alot more acoustic and clean-toned interludes on this album than previously, but I would not say that is a con. The lyrics are amazing and that is to be expected, Hasek really knows how to write powerful and rich lyrics. The production on the album is also amazing. Great record! A must have!
I have written a couple of reviews for other albums on here, and I am amazed at the incredible brililance and quality of some (Alter Bridge- Blackbird; Hurt- VOl. II), but not all, of the rock released over the past 12 months out. Division from 10 years is quite simply, astounding.
I am not even quite sure how to articulate how good Division is, other than to say that it is so complex, layered, emotional, and brilliant, that it would just make me downright sick to my stomach if this album does not become an essential rock album for every single person in America who calles themselves a hard rock fan. I don't know what is happening to rock in America- it seems like albums such as Division should sell 20 million copies given it's quality, but I don't know. I certainly hope it provides big success for the band.
For anyone remotely considering purchasing this album, By all means, please purchase it with all deliberate speed, and listen to it a few times. let it sink in. You will find that songs you initially thought were brilliant, stay that way, and get better, and other songs on the album that you might not have thought were brilliant initially, will envelop you with the layers, textures, and soaring vocals, and will stay with you all day and night. It is exactly what happened to me. Into my third listen, I just opened my eyes, and said, "This is brilliant." I honestly believe that you will be grateful that you got it. I have said this before about some other albums, major marketing muscle needs to be put behind this album- the label needs to make an investment here. People need to be exposed to this band.
Thank you all for reading, and i hope you enjoy Division as much as I did.

What could be bad...
Jon from Elk Grove Vlg, IL– Verified Buyer
There's not much to say. It's Le Creuset. Always great quality. I'll probably buy a couple more. It's perfect for reheating leftovers in the oven. Also great for nachos and breakfast scrambles.
Perfect for little leftovers!
Callie from Florida– Verified Buyer
I love LeCreuset. I bought this since we always seem to have just a single serving of leftovers. This is the perfect size and we can just just wrap in plastic wrap and into the fridge. It doesn't take space. Then straight in the microwave for reheating later.
Denise from Manchaca, TX– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
I love my new dish! It's very durable and pretty
Great product
Karen from Manistee, MI– Verified Buyer
Excellent savings on this product, cleans up nicely and very sturdy as well as beautiful
Perfect size for two
Stephen from Lauderdale by the Sea, FL– Verified Buyer
I purchased two of these. They are perfect when cooking for two people.
Very nice
Marina from TX– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
This is very well made. It arrived just as described. It works just as intended & looks very well made. I am very happy with my purchase.
Teena from Wheeling, WV– Verified Buyer– Top 1000 Reviewer
Very small. These, I think anyway, are meant for apportioning and serving individual dishes. So if that's something you want, you'll need multiple of these (for as many place settings as you have). Buying one doesn't make sense as I can't see what else one could be used for.
Great quality
A.Berry from Carmel, Ca– Top 100 Reviewer
Use a measuring tape to really be sure of the size of all products. The size of this dish is appropriate for a side of veggies for a small family. Great quality, very pretty. I will probably order more. Wayfast delivery,,
Kate from Boston, MA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
Don't be fooled by the picture, this is a tiny little dish. Very cute, sits on the stove to hold spoons and such.
Andrea from Dorchester, MA– Verified Buyer– Top 500 Reviewer
This is really small, like definitely single serve size. Yes, it's 6 ounces, so just be prepared. It's a really pretty color. When I looked at it, I thought "wow, it looks like the Caribbean." Then I remembered that's the color, so good job color-naming marketing people.

Developed and completed in over a year of obsessive creative fervor, my digital photographic panorama, "The walls belong to us" is an epic work of art in itself. The addition of ideas and comments from a range of thought provoking individuals, representing art, science and other walks of life enriched the content of this book with powerful connotations, creating endless possibilities of discourse.
While the wall in the work has a purely metaphoric meaning, the characters seem to tackle it with a heroic passion. How real are those walls? That is the question that I would hope you pose to yourself.

I'd like to point out that one year ago yesterday, Drew Corey and Vera Shields met for the first time: "Well, hello there! The name's Drew Corey! Dr. Drew Corey! And what might yours be?" And here it is, one year later, and as I pointed out the other day, Karen Moy is recycling the exact same plot. But this time, Mary is Vera, and she's torturing another Dr. Corey. If she and Ron end up going to the Junction Road Cafe, full of rotating donut display cases, and having a painfully dull and lengthy discussion with Jeff about how wonderful it is to be playing the field at this age, I may have to start reading Hagar the Horrible, which makes no pretense about its quality.

The alien race to which Mary Worth belongs is two-toned, split right down the middle, equal parts sickly green and chalky blue.

NoSQL databases break all the old rules
Amazon SimpleDB, CouchDB, Google App Engine, and Persevere may have a better way of storing data for your Web appFollow @peterwayner
At first glance, the Persevere database looks like most of the others. You push pairs of keys and values into it, and it stores them away. But that's just the beginning. Persevere provides a well-established hierarchy for objects that makes it possible to add much more structure to your database, giving it much of the form that we traditionally associate with the last generation of databases. Persevere is more of a back-end storage facility for JavaScript objects created by AJAX toolkits like Dojo, a detail that makes sense given that some of the principal developers work for SitePen, a consulting group with a core group of Dojo devotees.
Persevere is not like some of the other databases in this space that seem proud of the fact that they're "schema-free." It lets you add as much schema as you want to bring structure to your pairs. Instead of calling the top level of the hierarchy a domain (SimpleDB) or a document (CouchDB), Persevere calls them objects and even lets you create subclasses of the objects. If you want to enforce rules, you can insist that certain fields be filled with certain types, but there's no recommendation. The schema rules are optional.
The roots in the Dojo team are apparent because Dojo comes with a class, JsonRestStore, that can connect with Persevere and a number of other databases. including CouchDB. (Dojo 1.2 will also connect with Amazon's S3 but not SimpleDB and Google's Feed and Search APIs but not App Engine, at least out of the box.) The "Store" is sophisticated and has some surprising facilities. When I was playing with it initially, I hadn't given the clients the permissions to store data directly. The tool stored the data locally as if I were offline and had no connection with the database. When I granted the correct permissions later, the changes streamed through as if I had reconnected.
Persevere provides a great deal of connectivity through this tight connection with Dojo. You can create grid and tree widgets, then link them directly to the JsonRestStore; the widgets will let you edit the data. Voila! You've got remote access to a database in about 20 lines of JavaScript.
I encountered a number of small glitches that were probably due more to my lack of experience than to underlying bugs. Some things just started working correctly when I figured out exactly what to do. It's not so much Persevere itself you need to master, but the AJAX frameworks you're using in front of it. The documentation from Dojo is better than most AJAX frameworks, but it will take some time for Dojo to catch up with the underlying complexity that's hidden by the smooth surface of Persevere.
Cloud or cluster
After playing with these databases, I can understand why some people will keep using the word "toys" to describe them. They do very little, and their newness limits your options. There were a number of times when I realized that a fairly standard feature from the SQL world would make life simpler. Many of the standard SQL-based tools, like the reporting engines, can't connect with these oddities. There are a great many things that can be done with MySQL or Oracle out of the box.

text: You aren't applying for enough jobs. As I keep telling my son, if you want a job like that (entry level, doesn't require specialized skills), you need to apply for about 100 jobs. That will get you 5-10 interviews out of which, if you are hirable, you will get one offer. Your math supports what I've been telling him too. You applied for 15 jobs and got 1 interview. If that math held, you would need to apply for 150 jobs. But I think 100 is probably fine. Let us know what you're doing and I'm sure we can supply some suggestions. Where are you getting your job leads? I was able to rustle up 265 possible companies for him to look into in about 2 hours after he told me there weren't even 100 places he could apply to. And I could have easily found 2x that but I got tired and petered out. Exactly! It depends on the industry. I would totally expect to have to provide writing samples for a job in yours. Mine? Not so much. Something that tends to annoy me about these threads is when people (not you) emphatically declare their advice like it's The Truth when it's just want they do or sometimes it's just what they believe people should do and, even if it's true for their industry (which it isn't always), it's true for absolutely every one. The best advice IMO comes from people who actually screen resumes and interview applicants and hire them because they are telling you what they actually do not what people wish they'd do. As an example, I have read 100x that you should screen your resume for typos and spelling errors and that many employers will throw a resume out if it has even one typo in it. Now, I think it's good advice to proof-read your resume several times. Typos are embarrassing if they are noticed. (And speaking of the resume writer question that started this thread, one of my complaints with both the ones I used was that they *introduced* typos and grammatical errors into my resume that I then had to hunt down and fix.) However, I can tell you that every resume I was given this year to look at prior to interviewing a candidate has typos and misspellings in them and that we not only interviewed those people, we hired some of them. Yes, it bugged the crap out of me. But it's the nature of my industry and the job I do that management doesn't care about those things even presuming they speak English well enough to even notice. It's also the nature of my industry that, if you threw out all the resumes with errors, you wouldn't have many to look at and you'd be throwing out some good candidates. (That said, I gave the thumbs down to one that was so bad I felt like working with the person would be a nightmare because it would be impossible to communicate with them and I suspected their attention to detail was even more minimal than the people we already have.) Wishful thinking on your part IMO.

Franklin County School officials said a coach arrested for having sex with a student has been suspended with pay pending the outcome of an investigation.
Brian Keeton is a math teacher at Vina, as well as the boys' basketball coach, according to Superintendent Gary Williams.
Keeton is the second Vina coach accused of having sex with a student in less than one week. Deputies arrested PE teacher Sonny Tibbs on Friday for similar charges. Tibbs is also the girls' basketball coach, according to the Alabama High School Athletic Association. He was also suspended with pay.
Williams confirmed that the school district brought in counselors to help teachers, staff, and students cope with the allegations. He said it is hard to describe how the district and community are coping with the accusations.
"There are all kinds of thoughts and emotions running through our heads right now: disappointment... embarrassed. We have a great school system here and these are unfortunate instances that have happened," Williams said.
Franklin County District Attorney Joey Rushing said his office takes these crimes very seriously. If convicted, these men could spend up to 20 years in prison, on top of losing their jobs and being considered sex offenders.
Rushing said the age of consent in Alabama is 16 years old in most situations. He said there are a couple of charges that modify the law, including the one both Vina coaches are charged with, which is a school employee engaging in sexual activity with a student.
Rushing said he plans on meeting with both victims in these cases and pursuing the charges in court. Rushing and school officials agree - one case is too many, and more than one from the same school in less than a week is very concerning.
"We already have a large number of cases, but any time you have a sexual offense or a charge of a sexual offense involving a student or a minor, those cases are very serious, and they take a lot of time and resources, and are considered very serious by the court system," Rushing said.
The DA also said he plans on working with the superintendent and creating some type of awareness campaign to help teach and warn educators about the law and consequences for engaging in relationships with students.

JUnit: A Little Beyond @Test, @Before, @After
Consider my jrawio project: it's a decoder for different image file formats, so the integration tests match the same scheme: get a file, read and extract some information from it, assert expected results (as a marginal note for understanding the following examples, to assert that I'm reading the expected raster, which is made by many millions of pixels, I'm computing its MD5 and checking against it).
This is a sketch from a decoder test as it was at the beginning of this month:
public class NEFImageReaderTest
public void testJRW146()
throws Exception
final String path = "https://imaging.dev.java.net/nonav/TestSets/fabriziogiudici/Nikon/D100/NEF/NikonCaptureEditor/ccw90.nef";
final ImageReader ir = getImageReader(path);
assertEquals(1, ir.getNumImages(false));
assertEquals(1, ir.getNumThumbnails(0));
assertImage(ir, 3034, 2024);
assertThumbnail(ir, 0, 120, 160);
final BufferedImage image = assertLoadImage(ir, 3034, 2024, 3, 16);
assertLoadThumbnail(ir, 0, 120, 160);
assertRaster(image, path, "3659664029723dc8ea29b09a923fca7d");
public void testJRW148()
throws Exception
final String path = "https://imaging.dev.java.net/nonav/TestSets/fabriziogiudici/Nikon/D100/TIFF/TIFF-Large.TIF";
final ImageReader ir = getImageReader(path);
assertEquals(1, ir.getNumImages(false));
assertEquals(1, ir.getNumThumbnails(0));
assertImage(ir, 3008, 2000);
assertThumbnail(ir, 0, 160, 120);
final BufferedImage image = assertLoadImage(ir, 3008, 2000, 3, 16);
assertLoadThumbnail(ir, 0, 160, 120);
assertRaster(image, path, "03383e837402452f7dc553422299f057");
Pretty much copy & paste, isn't it? Figure out that I've got dozens of test files, more will be added, and a lot of metadata items must be tested too. This isn't going to scale a lot.

Have you tried testNG? It has a similar feature and seems easier to use than the example you posted here.
See @DataProvider annotation. The test runs also display much nicer in eclipse IDE than what you posted in this article. It shows the test method with arguments passed.
More over it has multi-threaded testing support though I haven't tried @DataProvider option combined with multi-threaded testing.
Anew Hope replied on Wed, 2009/08/26 - 8:43pm
One thing to note is that @RunWith is experimental in JUnit. I just checked the latest version of JUnit (4.7) and the javadoc is consistent with the following link:
"...We added this feature late in development. While it seems powerful we expect the runner API to change as we learn how people really use it. Some of the classes that are currently internal will likely be refined and become public."
So I wouldn't rely on this for a large amount of testing. Also, the explanation of how JUnit finds constructors based on the number of arguments doesn't appear to be correct. I think a JUnit expects there to be only one constructor otherwise you'll get a "Testcase: initializationError" at least in JUnit 4 (standard in Netbeans 6.7.1).
I like your modification to Parameterized and hope they accept the changes.
Casper Bang replied on Thu, 2009/08/27 - 6:04am
Hmm, could one not also write a generator extension that hooks in front of JUnit's preprocessor? Then something like this would be possible:
// @ImagesTest support
@interface JUnitGenerator{
// Marker
@interface ImagesTestGenerator{
ImageTestParms[] value();
@interface ImageTestParms{
String path();
String md5();
int w();
int h();
// Test file
@ImageTestParms(path = "coke.jpg", md5 = "baa62439fb6e5183bd7c7be304dbf45f", w=1080, h=900),
@ImageTestParms(path = "pepsi.jpg", md5="5e2c9f279cfed2de1260d71ff7b3d9c2", w=1600, h=1200),
@ImageTestParms(path = "coffee.jpg", md5="efcf7c6bcfad3179c8876a8b184d0551",w=480, h=360)
public void ImagesTestTemplate(String path, String md5, int w, int h) {
ImageReader ir = getImageReader(path);
assertRaster(ir, md5);
assertWidth(ir, w);
assertHeight(ir, h);
At compile time, let a simple AnnotationProcessor (recognizing the marker interface JUnitGenerator) generate the @Test methods via TreeTranslator. JUnit will see things as if you handcoded each and every test method.
All 3 tests passed.(0.066 s)
ImageTest_coke passed (0.0 s)
ImageTest_pepsi passed (0.0 s)
ImageTest_coffee passed (0.0 s)
I realize code generation is a touchy issue, but I always found it handy for testing (although admitedly I've never done it exactly like this).

Fabrizio Giudici replied on Fri, 2009/08/28 - 8:53am in response to: Denes Csepely
@anewhope. Yes, I know this thing is not part of a stable API. But it would not be hard to apply changes after JUnit eventually changes the API.
@casperbang. Very nice suggestion! No, I don't get worried by code generators :-) indeed there are already a couple in jrawio. Your suggestion sounds as a nice alternative to Groovy - indeed this brings me to a recurrent thought, that every time I think Groovy is useful for a problem, I later found (or somebody later suggests) an equivalent way to do things with Java ;-)
Peter Sellars replied on Sun, 2009/10/11 - 2:15am in response to: Fabrizio Giudici
Hi Fabrizio - did you submit a patch for this? Was it accepted or rejected? It seems useful to have a name for reference rather than just an index? Something like this could be an extended Parameterized class - such as IdentifedParamerterizedClass.
Am curious as I am going to use your patch for an upcoming presentation on this feature of JUnit. Will acknowledge you in my presentation and link to this page. Am also going to look at using a file/or group of files to contain the test data.

This post should be promotted into a better way. I think the solution presented here is easy to understand and should be promoted at large scale.

Saturday night featured as close a game as one would expect from a meeting of two teams who don't score a lot of goals. The teams came into this game tied for eighth least goals in the league and they each increased their total by one. The Panthers won the game by scoring two goals in the shootout, while Tim Thomas stopped the only two shots he faced. Both regulation goals were scored on the power play.
- The Panthers got the first power play of the night and couldn't get anything going. Brodziak hooked Versteeg and the Panthers got organized on the brief 5-on-3, but then took a penalty and negated the power play. The Panthers have to be better on the power play if they want to win games.
- The first period had a good pace, but the Panthers just couldn't cash in on the opportunities they had.
- The Panthers got outworked early in the second leading to both a Wild power play and power play goal. This team isn't good enough to take shifts off. There's something wrong on a fundamental level if the team is being outworked.
- The Panthers finally cashed in on a power play in the third. That it took so long for them to get it together on the power play is not a good sign. Especially since it was the first one they looked together on.
- Once the Panthers seemed to get it together, the refs gifted the Wild a 5-on-3 after making a weak call on Brian Campbell while the Cats were on the kill. Luckily, the Panthers are still good on the penalty kill and managed to keep the fourth-best Wild power play from scoring.
- Too many Panthers were not a factor in the game tonight. Barkov and Huberdeau had more going on than a lot of the veterans.
- The Panthers were good in the faceoff cricle, against the league's best team.
- Thomas is a competitor. Yes, he started off the season a little rusty and was one of the players to blame on the Bruins' game winner a few days ago. But he fights hard and doesn't give up.
- The Panthers are having that finishing problem again. They're getting good chances, like the Versteeg breakaway in the first, and they're not burying them.
- While I freely admit to not having looked at their numbers so far, from only watching the games I hope it's Gilbert and not Gilroy sitting when Jovo comes back. He's looked good out there.
- Boyes has been a solid pickup for the Cats. He's looked good in every game I've seen so far this season. For the record, I wrote this before he put a nice one past Harding to seal the shootout win.
Check out what the opposition has to say at Hockey Wilderness. The Cats continue their homestand Tuesday; LBC's GameThread goes live at 7 p.m. ET.

Dillard eager to get call against Rox
Milwaukee (32-29) at Colorado (23-38), Saturday, 7:05 p.m. CT
DENVER -- Brewers reliever Tim Dillard was as surprised as anybody when he was called upon to protect a one-run lead in the seventh inning at Miller Park on Tuesday. And no one was more pleased."We're sitting there, it's loud, the place is packed," Dillard said. "I hadn't been stretching or anything. I was watching the game and it was like, 'There's no chance for me to get in.' "Then [bullpen coach Bill Castro] came up, grabbed me on the shoulder and said, 'Hey, you're in!' It was like, 'What?' I actually had to ask him again." It was a serious statement of confidence in Dillard, who was promoted to the big leagues on May 23 and had made four previous appearances. He walked a batter, but worked a scoreless inning in what turned into a 7-1 Brewers win over the D-backs. Dillard has not pitched since that day at Miller Park, so he'll be one of a gaggle of Brewers relievers well rested for Game 2 of a series in Colorado on Saturday night. The Brewers bullpen will be looking to atone for a rare setback on Friday night, when Guillermo Mota and Brian Shouse combined to surrender five runs in the eighth inning of a 6-4 Brewers loss. Entering the series, Brewers relievers had a 1.03 ERA in their last 13 games, and entering the inning a Brewers reliever had not surrendered a run in 13 1/3 innings. Dillard, 24 and the son of former Major League infielder Steve Dillard, was Milwaukee's Minor League Pitcher of the Year in 2005 and reported to big league camp this spring with a 33-28 career Minor League record and a 3.41 ERA in 148 games, about half of them (74) starts. He converted full-time to relief last season at Triple-A Nashville. The Brewers gave Dillard a look in Spring Training, but had plenty of more experienced options in line ahead of him. "The day I got sent down, I think it was Gord [Ash, the Brewers assistant GM], who told me, 'We don't want you to be a finesse sinker guy. We think you can be a power pitcher who happens to have some movement,'" Dillard said. "I took that to heart. "My first appearance after that, I just decided to let it go. I think I hit 95 [mph], something I hadn't done in a couple of years." Pitching matchup
MIL: RHP Dave Bush (2-5, 5.49 ERA)
Bush seems to have found at least a temporary answer to the struggles that have haunted him this season, delivering his second straight quality start on Sunday in a Brewers victory. Bush worked seven innings and allowed four hits, with one fence-scraping home run in the first inning accounting for the only tally. The Brewers backed him with 10 runs worth of support, but Bush also helped himself by not walking anybody. He has one walk in his last three starts (19 innings). COL: RHP Greg Reynolds (0-3, 5.72 ERA)
Reynolds struggled to find any rhythm in his last start and after five outings, the left-hander is still looking for his first big league win. Against the Dodgers, Reynolds allowed six runs, four earned on seven hits and three walks with one strikeout over five innings for the loss and his earliest exit this year. This will be his first career appearance against the Brewers and third start at home. Tidbits
Russell Branyan has homered in four straight games and five of the last six. He hit a go-ahead solo shot in the fifth inning of Friday's series opener. J.J. Hardy followed with a solo homer of his own and has gone deep in two straight games. ... With its first game against Colorado in the books, Milwaukee has faced every National League team this season except San Diego. The team doesn't play the Padres until Aug. 12-14 on the road. ... The Brewers are trying to continue a string of series success. Since they were swept in Boston on May 17-18, they are 4-0-1 in series play. The tie was a four-game split against the Nationals. ... Corey Hart's inside-the-park home run on Wednesday was the first in a home game by a Brewers player since Mike Felder's on Sept. 26, 1989. Tickets

The Minnesota Timberwolves need a new head coach, and have already interviewed quite a few of them. And, well, this is interesting:
After interviewing Adelman and Nellie this weekend, #Timberwolves intend to interview Larry Brown and probably 1 or 2 others
Zgoda went on to tweet that when exactly Brown would interview is up in the air because of a death in the family. He also mentioned that Wolves GM David Kahn and Larry Brown probably won't fit because of Brown's tendency to overhaul teams' rosters and Kahn's previous statements saying he has no intention of doing so.
Brown, 70, joins Don Nelson, 71, and Rick Adelman, 65, as really old coaches in the mix for the Wolves job. Kahn clearly has a type.

Turns out that performing a GET request on a data URI from PHP works if file_get_contents is used, not if cURL is used. I wonder what support is like for other server side languages — using data URIs in

#taproot / #webactions design #principle: easy things should be easy, remove friction so hard things are no harder than they need to be.

Poll: Have any of you ever used twitter.com's "Email this tweet" action (in ••• More, above Embed Tweet for some reason)? #webactions
I was going to spend this evening working on #webactions browser extension, but I think it would be better spent providing a #backup/data export utility for fellow ex #diaspora users.
From my initial researches, it looks like
/u/username.json is the best bet, as it gives a JSON array of all posts written by
username, along with like and comment data. It accepts a
max_time=timestamp query param, and a
_ query param, the function of which I am not sure of.
To iterate through all the pages of posts from a certain user, start with their profile URL w/
.json tacked on the end, fetch all the items, get the datetime of the last item, convert that to a timestamp, fetch the same URL with
?max_time=timestamp, repeat until an empty array is returned.

David W. Chen
David W. Chen has been The Times' City Hall bureau chief since 2008. He has delved into topics ranging from Mayor Bloomberg's record on diversity to former Congressman Anthony Weiner's volatile managerial style.
Before that, Mr. Chen served as Trenton bureau chief, reporting on everything from the 2006 government shutdown to Gov. Jon Corzine's ubiquitous sweater vest. He has covered many political campaigns, including the 2009 mayor's race, 2006 U.S. Senate race in New Jersey and the extra-inning 2010 Connecticut governor's race.
He has also been stationed in Beijing and Los Angeles on extended assignments in China, he wrote a first-person story about his father's ancestral village in Fujian and a non-first-person one about disposable diapers in Shanghai. On the West Coast, his dispatches included one on post-9/11 tourism in Hawaii, complete with a dinner with Don Ho.
A New Jersey native, Mr. Chen is the son of Chinese immigrants — a political science professor and a children's librarian. He holds degrees from Yale and Columbia, and worked for The Associated Press and the San Jose Mercury News before joining The Times in 1995.
He has won several awards, including, perhaps unique among Times reporters, one from the Dog Writers Association of America, for a story about handicapped animals (in California, naturally). He has lived, worked or studied in places with different forms of governments: colonial rule (Hong Kong), Communist rule (China), martial law (Taiwan), and of course, home rule (New Jersey).

LCC to receive a $225,000 grant for healthcare program
Local laid-off workers looking to get training for a career in healthcare are in luck. Lansing Community College just received a grant from a local foundation to train workers. Lansing Community College students are working to become the next stars in the healthcare industry, but now new classes will soon be available for those that are out of job.
Steve Bennett, Prima Civatas Foundation: "What we're partnering with LCC now is to train 100 dislocated workers within the Lansing area specifically for jobs in the healthcare sector."

Like many people, I like to pause and reflect as the year draws to a close, and think about all that's transpired in the last 12 months. Since I have a tendency to be highly self-critical—over-blowing my failures and minimizing my successes—making lists can help me see, in black and white, that even though I may not have achieved everything I intended, a lot of pretty groovy stuff went down in 2011.
