Best Choice!! This was the second of 17 dresses I tried on at DB on Mother's Day this year! It was absolutely GORGEOUS on!! I felt like a princess. The dress flows beautifully, especially if you twirl, and when you sit down, it flows around you and is so elegant. I was caught between this Oleg Cassini and a Vera, but ultimately, I chose this one because I felt amazing in it. I am a size 6 and it fits like a glove. I can't wait for my groom to see it!! May 23, 2013
Amazing, beautiful floating on a cloud I came in to the Manhattan store with about 12 dresses printed out that I wanted to try on. My consultant indulged me in every single one - and while they looked good (not great) there was always something that I did not like. I wasnt trying to be picky and the dresses are so amazing in their own right but I just did not get that feeling. She pulled this dress and held it for the last try on. Not on my list. I think she was a genie! I tried it on and it was amazing I wanted to cry. It was not expected. I thought I wanted fit and flare and more embellishment - and this one is the total opposite. Ballroom with beautiful tulle bottom. The sweetheart neckline has a beautiful textural thing going on and the empire waist beaded accent is just enough. I can not wait to wear it! May 9, 2013
The dress I went to Davids Bridal with my 65 saved favorites. While my bridal assistant was pulling dresses for me I wandered through the store. I saw this dress and for some reason it grabbed me, even though I did not want a sweetheart neck line. When I tried the dress on (after 6 others) I was amazed at how beautiful it made me feel. The clean lines along with the subtle sexiness of the dress made it all worth it. April 17, 2013
Best Purchase Ever I really fell in love with this dress. It really is an amazing dress. Its very beautiful. It has a perfect fit. I tried on three other dresses but once I tried this dress on I knew it was the one. I am glad I shopped at Davids bridal. April 14, 2013

Tenley Molzahn Talks Episode 7 of The Bachelor
February 15, 2011 at 2:20 pm , by Sonia Harmon
"Where do I stand?" is the battle the heart begins to fight when you're a contestant on The Bachelor. Some relationships begin to progress and some stay at a standstill, not ever having the opportunity to grow. On The Bachelor the "love thing" is a one-way street: the Bachelor can't tell any of the women what he feels for them. When a girl says "I love you" he can't say anything back. He's also not supposed to tell a woman she won't be going home. So because his relationshipa to the women on the show are a one-way street, many of them are confused, some are more confident than they should be and others are not as confident as they could be.
I remember having those feelings when I was one of a handful of women left. All of us were trying to figure out if we were the right girl for the guy we were all dating. My confidence was particularly rocked the week right before hometown dates. I had just had an incredible "one on one" date and felt confident that our relationship was growing, yet I saw other women coming back from their dates glowing and feeling as confident as I did. I felt like my mind was playing tricks on me. But then I decided to ask myself, "Why does this matter? If he wants to continue to see where our relationship goes and meet my family, it will happen. This isn't a competition and I don't want to force anything."
It's so easy for this situation to become a "competition," but I think that naturally, the women are trying to protect themselves from rejection. They are constantly trying to figure out where they stand so they can let their hearts continue to fall in love or so they can prepare themselves for heartache. Two women have already told Brad that they've fallen in love with him. Will the others find the confidence to let their hearts go as they take their Bachelor home to their families? I can't wait to see!

The fancy new mouse Apple are selling has a neat hardware feature: squeezing the sides together acts like a button click (on some nth button). They combine it, by default, with a kind of okayish software feature: squeezing the new button shows the dashboard until you stop squeezing.
Looking at CellDesigner's "bird's eye view" feature (from the manual) gave mikeb and I an idea: you could use the squeeze-button to control a spring-loaded zoom feature in a Raskinish zooming user interface.
You could indicate, with a mostly-transparent overlay, where letting go of the button will end up dropping you. When you squeeze, the current view turns transparent while the canvas drops out from underneath you as you rise; while panning, the transparent overlay is updated to reflect the view you'll get if you let go here; and when you let go, the canvas rises up to meet you as you fall, until it eventually overlaps the transparent view, at which point the transparent view is redundant and can be removed until the next zoom.
Even better would be if the squeeze-button were an analogue control, that could measure pressure like a tablet stylus. You could use the force of squeezing to control the rate of ascent/braking. Then you'd only need that one control for zooming out (so long as there was a way of making your current hover level the new ground level); zooming in could perhaps be done by dragging out a rectangle on the current view that is to expand and become the new view, much as one does with old-school fractal programs.
I've taken my Scheme Packrat Parser library, ported it to MzScheme, documented it, and implemented a JSON reader-writer library on top of it.
The code is all available under the MIT license. A darcs repository is available at http://www.lshift.net/~tonyg/json-scheme/, or you can grab a snapshot tarball including a PDF version of the documentation.
$ darcs get http://www.lshift.net/~tonyg/json-scheme/
MetaPlatform has been released under an open-source license.
MetaPlatform is a minimalistic lazy functional language with metaprogramming features, intended to become a platform for rapid programming languages development. It is being developed by LShift senior programmer, Vitaly Lugovsky.
Using Squeak over recent months, I've found myself wanting to move windows back and forth between various projects occasionally. (Projects in Squeak are a kind of hierarchical multiple-desktop setup, where subprojects of a project are displayed as thumbnails in little windows on the desktop, which when clicked, enter the displayed subproject. The main desktop menu allows you to navigate among all the projects in the image. This page has more detail on Projects.)
Today I decided to try implementing the feature. It turned out to take about 15 minutes: five minutes to conduct experiments to determine a workable procedure for doing the move, five minutes to actually implement the method on the correct class and hook it into the system menus, and five minutes to mail the changeset to the
squeak-dev mailing list.
Here's the code (on class
| pr |
pr := CustomMenu new addList: (Project hierarchyOfNamesAndProjects); startUp.
pr ifNil: [^ self]. "Don't do anything if the user cancelled the menu."
World removeMorph: self.
pr world addMorph: self.
That prompts the user for a project to send the current window to, removes the current window from the active project, and inserts it into the target project. That's all there was to it! This simplicity and directness is part of what I like about Squeak.
Today I implemented a JSON reader/writer library for Squeak, and a small extension to Seaside's existing LivePage features for doing XMLHttpRequest-based server-push.
The JSON code is available on Squeakmap and also via SqueakSource, under either SqueakL (see here) or the MIT license. The Seaside extension is still in flux, but I'll release something as soon as I have something releasable.
Of the many new ciphers proposed as part of the ECRYPT Stream Cipher Project, one of the most interesting is Christophe De Cannière and Bart Preneel's TRIVIUM. TRIVIUM is designed to be very simple, admit a very low gate count implementation in hardware, and be reasonably efficient in both hardware and software, parallelizing in a straightforward way for fast hardware implementations and admitting of a straightforward bitslice implementation in software.
Today's tip: I now think that the fastest way to write a software implementation for x86 is to store the inverses of the register contents, rather than the register contents themselves. Super bonus points for anyone who can figure out why.
Does your internet go away occasionally? Do you have a computer hooked up to a moderately loud stereo system? Want to know as soon as the link comes back? Here's a script (put it in a file, e.g.
~/bin/audible-ping) that pings some outside host, playing a short
.wav file when ping finally starts to get some responses:
ping "$@" | \
grep –line-buffered 'bytes from' 2>&1 | \
perl -e 'while (<>) { `play /path/to/the/ping/sound.wav`; }'
It will play the
.wav file once per successful ping packet reply. (Obviously you'll need to come up with your own short beep-like sound file, and replace the path given above appropriately; use
--volume=n parameter to adjust the volume to taste.)
We use it here when our DSL connection goes away, running
$ audible-ping 126.96.36.199
on our jukebox computer. (IP address changed to protect the innocent.) We use a literal IP address rather than a DNS name because if your 'net is AWOL, the DNS query will time out and
ping will exit rather than continuing to retry. The script lets us know the very moment our DSL connection comes back.
Thinking further on the problem of stateful parsing (from yesterday's article), the way we've done it in the past (essentially by using Scheme's parameter mechanism) is a special case of a transactional system, with rollback on error and commit after each toplevel expression parsed.
This suggests that if Scheme had an implementation of a Software Transactional Memory, then it would be a good fit for a stateful packrat parser. The symbol-table (or whatever state needs to be speculatively propagated along a line of parsing) would simply be placed under transactional control. Each time an attempt is made to match against a particular nonterminal a nested transaction would be entered. If the nonterminal matched the input successfully, the nested transaction would be committed; otherwise it would be rolled back, and any alternative options would be tried in their own nested transactions.
Francis reminded me of the Packrat Parsing algorithm the other day, so I took another look at the Scheme implementation I'd thrown together a few months ago for my ThiNG prototype. Currently, it's just the basic parsing combinators and support data-structures, but I'd like to make it into an extensible reader, just like for codename. I think I could do a better job this time, since the host language is Scheme and I wouldn't have to write an interpreter for the macro language, since I'd already have Scheme's
eval available.
The current
packrat-parser macro expands into a function representing the parser. To build a quality extensible parsing system, with support for debugging and introspection, I suspect I'd need to move away from representing parsers as functions, and start to move toward representing them in a more self-describing way, perhaps more as objects in the OO sense. For instance, when expanding:
(packrat-parser expr
(expr ((a < - 'num '+ b <- 'num)
(+ a b))
((a <- mulexp) a))
(mulexp ((a <- 'num '* b <- 'num)
(* a b))))
the current implementation produces a parser built directly from packrat parsing combinators (hand-edited slightly for legibility):
(letrec ((expr (lambda (g1687)
(results->result g1687 'expr
(lambda ()
((packrat-or (packrat-check-base 'num
(lambda (A)
(packrat-check-base '+
(lambda (dummy1)
(packrat-check-base 'num
(lambda (B)
(lambda (g1693)
(make-result (+ A B) g1693))))))))
(packrat-check mulexp
(lambda (g1696)
(lambda (g1697) (make-result g1696 g1697)))))
(mulexp (lambda (g1698)
(results->result g1698 'mulexp
(lambda ()
((packrat-check-base 'num
(lambda (A)
(packrat-check-base '*
(lambda (dummy2)
(packrat-check-base 'num
(lambda (B)
(lambda (g1704) (make-result (* A B) g1704))))))))
whereas an extensible parser would require some kind of reified representation of the composite parser, along the lines of
`((expr (or (seq (num + num) ,(lambda (a _ b) (+ a b)))
(seq (mulexp) ,(lambda (a) a))))
(mulexp (or (seq (num * num) ,(lambda (a _ b) (* a b))))))
which could then be interpreted, in order to parse some input, or stepped through, in order to debug a parser or parser extension, or used in various diagnostic printouts to help pinpoint errors in parsed text or parsing extension grammars.
These guys seem to be thinking along the same lines as me, inasmuch as they think packrat-parsing is a good fit for Scheme. I note that they specifically mention stateful packrat parsing as an area of interest; some kind of pseudo-stateful parsing is needed to allow for local grammar extensions (similar to Scheme's
let-syntax), and we've come up with a few ideas for solving the stateful-parsing problem that could be tried here.
There's a summary of an interesting discussion regarding semantics in HTML over on fantasai's blog. Is the
HR element only presentational or does it convey something about the content? It does seem to have a semantic role, but one which comes from it being a typographical convention of using a row of asterisks to mark context changes. The interesting bit is what comes after the discussion on
HR (and
SPAN and
DIV); fantasai doesn't say it explicitly, but Hixie's proposed reforms to the HTML standard are in the same vein as with
HR — they are clarifying what the element means by referring to what the typographical convention means. Compare the Web Applications 1.0 draft to the XHTML 2.0 draft.

Frozen pipes keeping Las Vegas plumbers busy
By KTNV Staff. CREATED Jan 13, 2013
Las Vegas, NV (KTNV) -- The weather may be cold, but business is hot for plumbers around the Valley.
They had a busy weekend, repairing frozen pipes that burst. One plumber said his call volume doubled Sunday. His business responded to around 20 calls.
The majority of residential water pipes in the Valley are exposed to the cold, and many garages are not insulated, making pipes vulnerable to the cold temps.
The average pipe repair cost is about $120.
The solution to the pipe problem is buying insulation for your pipes.
And always make sure, if you do need to call a plumber, make sure they are licensed.

Richard and Nancy Lyon
'Evidence' Crops Up
In the months after Nancy's death, Lyon forwarded to prosecutor Jerri Sims a stream of what he believed to be exonerating evidence.
First, he said he arrived home one day and found a message on his answering machine from a tough-sounding man — or a man pretending to sound tough.
The essence of the message was pure pulp fiction: "I got her, and you're next."
He gave the tape to Sims, who smiled and yawned.
A second piece of would-be evidence was mailed directly to police. It was more pulp fiction. In the typed letter, a hit man confessed that he pulled the murder at the behest of Bill Jr. He was ratting him out because he had failed to pay up.
A third bit of "evidence" was less funny.
In Nancy's belongings, Lyon found notes that his wife had made during incest counseling sessions.
One page included her jotted notes of words and phrases: "trying hard to have the June Cleaver family, busy, frustrated, anxious, demanding, controlling, too accomplishment oriented, hurts my family life." Toward the bottom of the page in the right hand margin were two complete sentences: "When I don't have power I feel inadequate," and "When I don't feel in control I get angry."
Immediately to the left of that final sentence was this notation:
"fear of Bill and what his
desires are—sex—sick sex—
Handwriting analysts would judge that Richard Lyon added that notation, in an attempt to implicate Bill Dillard Jr., before passing the document to prosecutor Sims.

Upcoming exits sign featuring the final three Kent Island interchanges: Duke Street (Exit 38A), Maryland 8 (Exit 37), and the Chesapeake Bay Bridge approach. Traffic merges onto U.S. 50 west & U.S. 301 south from Shopping Center Road to the right. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Westbound at the Exit 38A turn-off onto Duke Street northbound in Stevensville. Duke Street links the freeway with Maryland 18 (Main Street) and Island Drive. Use Maryland 18 west from Duke Street for Love Point Road and State Street. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Exit 37 represents the final departure point for U.S. 50 & 301 travelers before the freeway ascends onto the Chesapeake Bay Bridge.
Maryland 8
(Romancoke Road / Business Parkway) interchanges with U.S. 50 & 301 near the Bay Bridge Airport in Stevensville. The north-south route journeys 8.37 miles south from Maryland 18 (Main Street) to Romancoke. Photo taken 01/02/08.
U.S. 50 west & U.S. 301 south at the Exit 37 diamond interchange with Maryland 8. Maryland 8 follows Romancoke Road south two miles to Matapeake, three miles to Norman, and six miles to Mattapex. Business Parkway carries the state highway north to its end at junction Maryland 18 (Main Street); Maryland 18 turns north from Maryland 8 and follows Love Point Road four miles to its end at Love Point. Photo taken 01/02/08.
A system of lane control signals lines the approach and both spans of the William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge. These signals indicate which lanes are open to traffic and those closed due to construction, an accident, or reverse traffic flow. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Motorists from Maryland 8 (Romancoke Road / Business Parkway) merge onto U.S. 50 west & U.S. 301 south at the William Preston Lane Jr. Memorial Bridge proclamation sign. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Depending on traffic conditions, the Maryland Transportation Authority can adjust the two spans of the Chesapeake Bay Bridge so that the westbound three lane bridge carries two westbound lanes and one eastbound lane to compensate for traffic demands associated with beach bound traffic and other periods of congestion. The eastbound span only carries two lanes overall. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Motorists needing assistance to cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge can seek an escort by pulling over in the designated area and letting the Maryland Transportation Authority know of their needs. A similar service is available for crossing the Delaware Memorial Bridge as well. Photo taken 09/25/04.
These U.S. 50 & 301 shields greet westbound traffic as the freeway prepares to cross over the Chesapeake Bay. A travelers advisory overhead lies in the distance. Photo taken 01/02/08.
The 4.3-mile long Chesapeake Bay Bridge (William Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bridge) is not tolled in the westbound direction. Operated by the
Maryland Transportation Authority
, the westbound direction crosses the 1973 span, which was constructed with three lanes rather than two lanes. On certain occasions, traffic from eastbound is routed onto this span in order to account for weekend travel and emergency conditions. A crossover visible at the westbound entrance to the bridge accommodates the two-way traffic flow for the three-lane westbound span. Photos taken 01/02/08.
The eastbound span opened to traffic on July 30, 1952 at a cost of $45 million.
Photo taken 01/02/08.

Maryland 70
is a short route traveling just 2.32 miles between U.S. 50 & 301 and Maryland 450 at Church Circle. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 West-U.S. 301 South
Maryland 2
shares pavement with the U.S. 50 & 301 freeway between Exits 27 and 23A. Although vastly unsigned, the overlap replaces the original Annapolis routing of Maryland 2 along Maryland 450. The state highway departs the freeway at Exit 23A near the
Annapolis Mall
at Loretta Heights. Exit 23A splits into ramps for Maryland 2 south and Jennifer Road at Anne Arundel Medical Center. Jennifer Road links Admiral Drive with Maryland 450 (West Street). Photo taken 01/02/08.
Construction reconfigured Exit 23A when Medical Parkway was extended south from Jennifer Road to Maryland 2 (Solomons Island Road). Additionally all guide signs for Maryland 2 south were replaced and no longer reflect Maryland 450 and display Prince Frederick in lieu of Edgewater. Photo taken 09/25/04.
Westbound U.S. 50-Interstate 595 & southbound U.S. 301-Maryland 2 approach Exit 23A. Maryland 2 departs the freeway via Solomons Island Road south toward Calvert County and Solomons Island. A new ramp joins parallel Jennifer Road at Pavilion Parkway; this movement was originally accomplished via a ramp at Medical Parkway. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Maryland 450 heads east along old U.S. 50 (local route) to Parole and Annapolis via West Street. A direct ramp (Exit 23B) links the freeway with West Street, but Maryland 2 also intersects the east-west route nearby. Photo taken 09/25/04.
Two lanes depart Interstate 595-U.S. 50 west & U.S. 301 south for Maryland 2 (Solomons Island Road) south and Jennifer Road. Maryland 2 is a very long route that roughly parallels the west shore of the Chesapeake Bay between Baltimore and Solomons Island. Between Annapolis and Baltimore, Maryland 2 is a very busy road, but much of the through traffic has since been redirected onto Interstate 97 (which generally follows the old Maryland 3 corridor). Photo taken 01/02/08.
Jennifer Road travels west from Admiral Drive to Anne Arundel Medical Park and the Annapolis Mall, ending at Maryland 450 (West Street) opposite Exit 23B. Photo taken 09/25/04.
A folded-cloverleaf interchange follows between Interstate 595 & U.S. 50-301 and Maryland 450 (Exit 23B). Maryland 450 exits Parole onto Defense Highway west to Lusby Crossroads. Interstate 97 begins in one mile as well via Exit 21. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Maryland 178 (Generals Highway) begins from Maryland 450 (Defense Highway) and leads northwest to Crownsville and Dorrs Corner. Photo taken 09/25/04.
Maryland 450 follows the original route of U.S. 50 between the District of Columbia and Annapolis via Defense Highway between U.S. 50-301 and Maryland 3 (Anne Arundel-Prince George's County Line) and via Annapolis Road in Prince George's County. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Former overheads on this sign bridge addressed Interstate 97 (Exit 21), which heads northwest to meet Maryland 32 at Exit 7. The Howard County seat of Columbia is accessible from Interstate 97 north to either Maryland 32 or 100 west. Photo taken 09/25/04.
Exit 23B loops to the intersection of Maryland 450 (West Street) and Jennifer Road.
Maryland 450
was designated in the 1950s when U.S. 50 shifted to its freewa alignment. The state route stretches 30.42 miles from U.S. 1 Alternate to Exit 27 of U.S. 50 & 301. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Westbound U.S. 50 and southbound U.S. 301 reach Exit 21, Junction Interstate 97 north to Baltimore. The next exit along westbound is Exit 22, Junction Maryland 665. The reason why Exit 21 occurs prior to Exit 22 is because traffic for Interstate 97 is separated onto collector distributor lanes until after passing Exit 22 / Maryland 665. Photo taken 01/02/08.
The two right lanes become exit only for northbound Interstate 97. The main lanes for U.S. 50-301 (and secret Interstate 595) continue west toward Washington, D.C. Photo taken 01/02/08.

Once on the Exit 21 collector-distributor lanes for the transition from U.S. 50-301 west to Interstate 97 north, the lanes pass the Maryland 665 (Exit 22) interchange. Afterward, the right lanes are signed for Interstate 97, while the left lane returns traffic back to U.S. 50-301 west. Photo taken 06/25/10.
The collector-distributor lane splits when the left lane returns back to the U.S. 50 & 301 mainline, while Interstate 97 exits right. Northbound travelers reach Maryland 32 (Patuxent Freeway) west in seven miles. Photo taken 06/25/10.
Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 west-U.S. 301 south continue seven miles to their split at Bowie. The six lane freeway spans the South River in the second scene. Photos taken 01/02/08.
Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 eastbound & U.S. 301 southbound travel five miles from the southern terminus of Interstate 97 to junction Maryland 424 (Davidsonville Road) at Exit 16. Davidsonville Road carries the state route north-south between Maryland 214 (Central Avenue) and Maryland 3 (Crain Highway) at Crofton. Photo taken 01/02/08.
One half mile east of the folded-cloverleaf interchange with Maryland 424 (Davidsonville Road) on Interstate 595 & U.S. 50-301 west.
Maryland 424
travels 8.24 miles between Davidsonville (Junction Maryland 214) and Crofton. Trucks over 13 tons are prohibited along the route north of U.S. 50 & 301 and must use Maryland 3 instead. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Westbound at the ramp departure of Exit 16 to Maryland 424 (Davidsonville Road). Use Maryland 424 south to Birdsboro Road as an alternate route to Maryland 2 (Solomons Island Road) south for Mt. Zion and Calvert County. Photo taken 01/02/08. Second photo taken 09/25/04.

U.S. 301 departs Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 (John Hanson Highway) west at a directional-cloverleaf interchange with the Robert Crain Highway. Maryland 3 begins at the transition and follows the Crain Highway north to Interstate 97 and Maryland 32 (Patuxent Freeway). Photo taken 01/02/08.
West of the Patuxent River, drivers enter Prince George's County on the approach to Exit 13 (U.S. 301 south / Maryland 3 north). U.S. 301 follows the South Crain Highway from Bowie to Upper Marlboro, Waldorf and the Governor Nice Bridge into Virginia. Photo taken 01/02/08.
U.S. 301 provides an alternate route to Interstate 95 for southbound travelers bound for Richmond, Virginia. Maryland 3 follows the original U.S. 301 northbound path to Baltimore, serving the Crofton area in Anne Arundel County before merging with Interstate 97 at Millersville. Photo taken 01/02/08.
A nearby interchange (Exit 13C) with Maryland 3 connects to Belair Drive east to the Maryland Science and Technology Center and west into Bowie. Interests to Prince George's Stadium (home to the Bowie Baysox baseball team) should use U.S. 301 south to Ballpark Road. The
play in the Double A Eastern League. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 split with U.S. 301 south at the Exit 13A/B/C two-lane off-ramp. U.S. 301 heads four miles south to junction Maryland 214 on the south six of Bowie and ten miles to junction Maryland 4 at Upper Marlboro. Maryland 3 reaches Crofton in three miles. Photo taken 01/02/08.
The exit to Maryland 3 (Robert Crain Highway) north partitions with a ramp to Belair Drive while a collector/distributor roadway continues west to U.S. 301 south. Photo taken 01/02/08.
Maryland 197 (Collington Road) interchanges with Interstate 595 & U.S. 50 west at the next Exit. Exit 13A otherwise loops onto U.S. 301 south ahead of Mitchellville. U.S. 301 continues from Maryland southward and roughly parallels to the Interstate 95 corridor to Jacksonville, Florida and then southwestward to Sarasota. Photo taken 01/02/08.

Every now and then I see people talking about other teams they like in the NHL [see: recent threads] and I was curious to find out: If the Colorado Avalanche franchise was shut down permanently, which team would you support?
(A) Let's assume they are only defunct, and not relocated.
(B) You have to choose ONE team.
Be realistic about this, because after you vote comment on who you voted for, and the reasons why you voted for them. It will be interesting to see if any one team stands out from the rest, or if geography controls the poll. Let's get as many people as possible, lurkers and all.

Public sector pay still rising faster than in the private sector, says Policy Exchange
New research from Policy Exchange says that the gap between public sector and private sector pay is still rising. While private sector workers lost out during the recession, public sector workers saw their advantage grow.
The report says: "Despite the coalition's attempt at pay restraint, public sector salaries continued to rise as late as December 2010. That was despite pay for many workers in the private sector actually falling even before inflation is included – meaning that many private sector workers will have seen drastic cuts in their standard of living."
This study says that the public sector "premium" – the additional pay a typical public sector worker receives over a private sector worker – is now up to 35% calculated on hourly pay. For typical annual pay the premium is up to 16%. After taking into account differences like age, experience and qualifications, Policy Exchange puts the hourly pay premium for a public sector worker at 8.8% as of December 2010. This has almost doubled from 4.3% two years earlier.
The new research updates previous work from Policy Exchange which said that 2009 was the "first year in which average pay for public sector workers as a whole was now on average higher than for all private sector workers".
The report makes a series of recommendations, including:
Local pay bargaining and an end to national strike ballots. The report says: "This would create a situation in which it might make more sense for local union officials to seek better deals than the national one could provide."
Replace the two-year pay freeze on individual salaries with a freeze in the total pay bill for public sector organisations. The report says: "This would allow different trade-offs to be made between headcount reductions and pay cuts in different regions and sectors, saving jobs and promoting efficiency."
A final word
"Public sector pay has got hugely out of control. There is pressure on budgets like never before because of the deficit. If the unions want to preserve their members' jobs they have to realise that pay is an issue which will have to be looked at. This is an issue of fairness. It is unreasonable and unfair to expect private sector workers to make all the sacrifices. We need a much better-balanced system of public pay, with organisations like the NHS and schools given greater freedom to vary pay so they can attract staff but also get value for the taxpayer." - Neil O'Brien, director, Policy Exchange.

Medieval readers had eclectic tastestags: LiveScience, middle ages, literature, London, MIT, reading
Nowadays, people bounce effortlessly from reading news to blogs to email. And it turns out the reading habits of people in medieval times weren't so different, a new book suggests.
People in 14th-century London consumed a variety of texts, often linked together in bound volumes. Arthur Bahr, a literature professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, explores these habits in his new book "Fragments and Assemblages" (University of Chicago Press, 2013).

There was plenty to be happy about for Panther fans in this one. But it all starts with rookie QB Cam newton and his record setting day. Newton was deadly in the red zone as he kept it simply, scoring three touchdowns on the ground and throwing for a fourth. Truly a day for the rookie to celebrate little as the Panthers string two in a row.
I would be remiss to not mention the defense and the fact they held the Bucs to FGs on 4 drives and and more importantly held LeGarette Blount to 19 yards on 11 carries. DE Charles Johnson had a big day with a sack, 3 tackles for a loss, a pass defensed and a QB hurry. The defensive line played pretty good as a whole keeping pressure on back-up QB Josh Johnson.
This is now a post-game open thread!

Jimmy Kimmel pranks passersby with Gaga lyrics
By 987ThePeak.com

Lady Gaga's latest album, "ARTPOP," released on Tuesday, and talk show host Jimmy Kimmel says it's jam-packed with weird lyrics.
So leave it up to the funny man to prove his statement true by taking to the streets of Hollywood.
Kimmel enlisted his pal Guillermo to talk with people on Hollywood Boulevard. The twist: Guillermo casually slips Gaga's lyrics into the conversations.
"When you say weird things in songs no one really notices," said the "Jimmy Kimmel Live" host. "But if you were to take those same words and say them to people, they stand out."
As expected, it gets awkward.

Love movies? Especially when they make the films here at home? Great news, Georgia is now the number three television and movie making location in North America.
The news is straight from Savannah city leaders to WTOC.
Georgia ranks behind just Hollywood, at number two, and Canada which ranks number one.
Entertainment tax credits, which Georgia had beefed up in the last two years, are what many believe has lead to an influx of movies, TV shows and commercials in the Peach State. The City of Savannah is urging state representatives to continue to support those tax credits.
"Extending those credits only encourages more people to come to Georgia and Savannah and do films," Tony Thomas, Savannah City Council, told WTOC. "You can tell a lot of films, a lot of commercials, a lot of shoots are being done right here in Savannah. So, obviously the credits are making an impact."
Thomas credits the Savannah Film Office and office director Jay Self with working hard to draw in new projects, like "Killing Winston Jones" starring Richard Dreyfuss and Danny Glover, which begins filming next week at Savannah Arts Academy.
After a move to Daffin Park and some internal struggles between the former city manager and the film office involving philosophy, personnel cuts and an audit of the department, Thomas says he would like to take a renewed look at giving the film department more resources and more visibility.
"Personally, and I am not speaking for council, I feel that the film office is an asset to this community and needs a premium stake somewhere. Hiding it off the beaten path is not the best place to be," Thomas said.
Competition between the cities of Georgia, specifically Atlanta and Savannah, may be heating up too as Savannah is still exploring the addition of a soundstage, or even two, to draw more movies to Savannah.

Menno beat me to it at his CRM blog, but the IFD Tool was published at the below KB article link at Microsoft Support.
Menno sums it up nicely:
There has been a lot of confusion around the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Internet Facing Deployment Configuration Tool, a tool which was mentioned in a document describing Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 Internet facing deployments scenarios.
For the people that don't know what Internet Facing Deployment means, it is a way to make Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 available to, for example, your home- or offline users without the requirement of needing a VPN connection.
I just bumped into a KB article describing how to use the Microsoft Dynamics CRM Internet Facing Deployment Configuration tool. The tool allows you to configures Internet Facing Deployment (IFD) for Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0 after you have already installed or upgraded to Microsoft Dynamics CRM 4.0. The tool is also used when you change the IFD. Another good thing, the tool is available directly from that KB article.
It is not really clear to see the download link, as you can see, you easily read over CRM4IFDTool.zip.

LANDOVER, Md. (AP) - Quarterback Jay Cutler has left the Chicago Bears' game at the Washington Redskins after being sacked in the second quarter.
After staying down on the ground for a few minutes Sunday when tackled by 333-pound nose tackle Chris Baker, Cutler has limped off toward the locker room.
There has been no immediate announcement by the Bears on his condition.
Chicago's backup quarterback, Josh McCown, has replaced Cutler. It's McCown's first appearance in an NFL game since 2011.

First, he notes that Snyder's locker in Bradenton was cleared out this morning, suggesting that Snyder is definitely going on the DL. Second, McDonald pitched a bullpen session today without any problem and will pitch in a simulated game on Thursday. After that, the Pirates will have a clearer sense of whether he'll be ready to pitch to start the season.


text: I for one love Raymond Felton. And I want to see him work hard to try and get a starting spot, though taking it from Lawson will not be easy. Regardless, this is about teamwork. Felton said he was focused on the team, on winning, regardless if he started. Felton, Gallinari, and Chandler significantly contributed to the Knicks positioning this year. I was really, really interested in them up until the All-Star break because of how they got to be a winning team for the first time in 10 years. Losing all those players, now I really pay attention to the Nuggets. Barkley said on Thursday night that, though Denver no longer has a superstar player, they are two deep at every position, unlike any other team in the NBA. I'm looking forward to seeing how deep they get in the playoffs.

Pitt is set to play its final season as a member of the Big East Conference. After 30 years, the Panthers are moving to the Atlantic Coast Conference. The program has enjoyed many memorable moments since joining the Big East in 1982. The Post-Gazette sports staff has identified its top 10. They are listed here in chronological order.
Let the debates begin.January 25, 1988
Four words are all one needs to recall this iconic moment in Pitt basketball history: "Send it in Jerome!" That was the spontaneous reaction of ESPN analyst Bill Raftery after Jerome Lane shattered the backboard at Fitzgerald Field House with a thunderous dunk against Providence. "I was trying to slam it as hard as I could to impress the crowd," Lane said after the game. Kimball Smith, a sports information assistant with Pitt at the time, checked with the backboard manufacturer and said 940 pounds of force was needed to shatter the backboard.
On the 20-year anniversaryof the dunk in 2008, Lane said that play has defined him over the years, and he does not regret it. "It gets brought up 10, 20 times a year," Lane said. "I don't get a chance to live it down. They don't talk about me as a basketball player, as this great rebounder. They don't know me as someone who played in the NBA, just Pitt. When they see me, it's, 'You're the guy who had The Dunk.'"
Lane's memorable dunk also made a prophet of teammate Demetrius Gore, who had penned a rap song "Pitt on the rise" a year earlier that included this verse: Getting all the rebounds like he is insane is that board-crashing brother Jerome Lane. The 1987-88 season saw the Panthers win 24 games and claim the Big East regular-season title. Yet the regular-season game in January that Pitt won by 34 points is what everyone remembers. That and Barry Goheen's shot that sunk the Panthers NCAA tournament title hopes two months later. But that's in a top 10 list of another sort.
March 6, 1988
Pitt won a share of its first Big East regular-season championship in 1987 when the Panthers shared the title with Syracuse and Georgetown. The next year they wanted it all to themselves. They accomplished that feat thanks to a dominating performance from Lane in the regular-season finale at Syracuse. Lane scored 29 points and grabbed 15 boards in an 85-84 victory that clinched the title. The Panthers finished the regular season with a 12-4 Big East record while Syracuse finished 11-5.
Lane was coming off of a couple of bad games against Boston College and Seton Hall and had been called out by coach Paul Evans for his inconsistent play. Lane scored 18 of his 29 points in the first half, including a stretch when he scored 12 consecutive points. What made the performance even more remarkable was that he picked up his third foul with 2:36 remaining in the first half and his fourth foul with 13:48 left, and never came out of the game.
Syracuse had been able to limit Lane in a Syracuse win at the Civic Arena a few weeks earlier, but Orange coach Jim Boeheim had no answers for Lane's brilliance in this game. "The last two games we controlled him," Boeheim said. "Today, we had no control at all. He got what he wanted."
March 7-10, 2001
Rarely does a loss at the end of conference championship week make a top 10 list, but Pitt's unlikely run through the Big East tournament to its first Big East tournament championship game appearance is one of the most important moments in school history.
In their second season under Ben Howland, the Panthers had stumbled to a fifth-place finish in the West Division. They beat Miami in the first round of the tournament and then upset No. 1 seed Notre Dame in the quarterfinal round. In the semifinals, they pulled another upset, this time in overtime against Syracuse. It was only the second time in the history of the Big East tournament that a team won three games in three days to advance to the championship game. Dreams of a berth in the NCAA tournament came to an end the next night when Boston College beat the weary Panthers, 79-57.
Point guard Brandin Knight, a sophomore in 2001, points to that week at Madison Square Garden as a turning point for the program. But no one, it seemed, became a believer in the Panthers after their performances on Broadway. The Big East coaches viewed it as a fluke. They chose the Panthers to finish in sixth place, or dead-last, in the conference's West Division before the next season. The players believed, however. They won the West Division with a 13-3 record for Pitt's first regular-season championship since 1988.
The season began a decade of dominance for the Panthers and was the first of 10 consecutive appearances in the NCAA tournament. Knight, now an assistant coach on Jamie Dixon's staff, said it wouldn't have been possible without that magical, confidence-boosting week in March 2001.
March 15, 2003
Playing on an injured ankle, Knight and his teammates washed away years of frustration at the Big East tournament when the Panthers claimed their first Big East tournament championship with a 74-56 victory against Connecticut. It was the third consecutive tournament title game appearance for the Panthers, and they avenged a double-overtime loss to Connecticut from the previous year. Jaron Brown had 19 points and 10 rebounds.
Knight added 16 points and made the game's signature play. With Pitt leading by 14 points and 1:30 on the clock, Connecticut rolled the ball inbounds after a Pitt bucket. Knight darted from the other side of the court, dove at the ball, tipped it away and came up with the possession. The hustle play signified Pitt's approach to winning under Howland. They Panthers did it with defense, intangibles and leadership.
December 20, 2007
Down by 16 points to one of the country's top programs, Pitt came back to beat Duke, 65-64, when point guard Levance Fields sank a step-back 3-point shot with four seconds left in overtime in a game played at Madison Square Garden. After he made the shot, Fields jumped into the arms of coach Jamie Dixon. It was an emotional win for both. Just 32 seconds into overtime, starting small forward Mike Cook, Fields' best friend, left the game with a season-ending knee injury. Not only was Cook out, but so was freshman center DeJuan Blair, who fouled out late in regulation after scoring 15 points and grabbing 20 rebounds.
The victory against the No. 6 Blue Devils did not come in an NCAA tournament, but it means a lot to Dixon. He believes the game is one of the most important in the program's history. He chose it -- not Pitt's victory against Xavier in the 2009 NCAA tournament that got the Panthers to the Elite 8 -- as his most significant win at Pitt. "If I had to pick one, it would have to be the Duke game," Dixon said in a 2010 interview. "And solely because of the opponent. They are, to me, the program you have to emulate. They're the gold standard in college basketball. It was a regular-season game, but it was a great statement for our program."
March 15, 2008
Pitt returned to Madison Square Garden three months after its milestone victory against Duke and forged one of the great weeks for any team in the history of the Big East tournament. A week after the Duke game, Fields suffered a serious injury of his own when he fractured a bone in his foot in a loss at Dayton.
Without two starters, the Panthers stumbled to a seventh-place finish in the conference standings and had to win three games in three days to advance to the championship game against the No. 1 seed Georgetown Hoyas, who had pounded the Panthers in the championship game a year earlier. The Hoyas had never lost in the Big East tournament as the No. 1 seed. But the Panthers had revenge on their minds and got 17 points from senior Ronald Ramon and 16 from Sam Young, who claimed the tournament's Most Outstanding Player award after a 74-65 victory.
Pitt became the second team to win four games in four days at the Big East tournament, and Fields and Cook celebrated at center court by crying in each other's arms.
February 16, 2009
This night will be remembered for DeJuan Blair's flip of Connecticut center Hasheem Thabeet onto his head when they battled for a rebound, but the game was important for many reasons. Pitt's 76-68 victory against the Huskies was the first-ever for the Panthers against the No. 1-ranked team in the nation. They had been 0 for their previous 13 in such games, including 0 for 3 against arch rival UConn.
Blair's flip of Thabeet came in the opening moments and set the tone for the game. Blair finished with 22 points and 23 rebounds while Thabeet completed the game with just five points and four rebounds. The Panthers dominated from a physical standpoint, grabbing 48 rebounds to Connecticut's 31. It was the first time all season the Huskies were outrebounded. "They played a style of basketball that we hadn't seen all season," Connecticut coach Jim Calhoun said. "And it was a style that was effective against us."
As much as this game is remembered for Blair and his theatrics, the victory would not have been possible without the heroics of two seniors. Young scored a game-high 25 points on 8-for-13 shooting and Fields nailed two big 3-pointers late in the game. The first broke a 61-61 tie, and gave the Panthers the lead for good.
March 7, 2009
The final game of the '09 regular season was perhaps the most-anticipated regular-season game in school history. Nineteen days after the Panthers beat top-ranked Connecticut in Hartford they played host to the Huskies at the Petersen Events Center with a chance to make history. After winning at Connecticut, the Panthers lost a game at Providence, and the Huskies ascended to the No. 1 ranking again in time for the rematch. The Panthers rose to the occasion before a raucous home crowd and became the ninth team in the history of college basketball to beat the No. 1 team twice in the same season when they won, 70-60.
Sam Young scored 31 points for a total of 56 against the Huskies, who would go on to win the national championship a few weeks later. "Sam Young is something special," Calhoun said after the game. "We've seen him twice, and there hasn't ever been a player that gives us as many problems as he does."
Young and his teammates did it before 12,908 fans, the largest crowd to witness an on-campus basketball game at Pitt. The victory also led to another first in school history: Two weeks later the Panthers earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the first time.
March 26, 2009
Time after time, Fields made clutch shots for the Panthers, and Pitt's senior point guard made one last big one in a 55-54 victory over Xavier in a Sweet 16 game at TD Banknorth Garden in Boston. The victory exorcised the demons from Pitt's previous four forays into the round of 16 and vaulted the Panthers to the Elite Eight for the first time since 1974.
The No. 1 seed Panthers were in dire straits against No. 4 seed Xavier. They trailed by two after blowing a five-point lead with five minutes remaining. Fields took matters into his hands. He dribbled between his legs, got his man leaning and let loose on a deep 3-pointer. "I never get tired of watching Levance take big shots," Dixon said. "He's made them year after year."
Fields did not shoot 3-pointers for a very high percentage, but it was always Fields -- not future NBA players Blair and Young -- who had the ball in his hands at the end of games that season. "It was a ball screen and I couldn't turn the corner," Fields said. "I did a little in and out move to get him on his heels a little bit. Once I did that and created some space I had all the confidence in the world that it was going to go in." Pitt's Final Four dreams ended two nights later when No. 3 seed Villanova beat the Panthers, 78-76.
Feb. 12, 2010
Pitt's most improbable victory as a member of the Big East Conference came against Backyard Brawl rival West Virginia in a contest the Panthers had no business winning. The Panthers trailed the Mountaineers by seven with 45 seconds remaining. West Virginia missed three free throws in the final minute to help the cause, but the Panthers made plenty of clutch plays to complete the comeback.
After Tray Woodall cut the lead to three with 29 seconds remaining, the Panthers forced a turnover when Brad Wanamaker saved a ball from going out of bounds as the Panthers pressured the Mountaineers. The ball was retrieved by Woodall, who passed to Ashton Gibbs in the corner for a 3-pointer that tied the score with 22 seconds to go. Forcing overtime alone made this game one of the most memorable in school history, but what transpired in the overtime periods made the contest epic. Gibbs, an 87 percent career free-throw shooter, missed a free throw with seven seconds left in the first overtime, which allowed West Virginia's Darryl Bryant to come down and nail a game-tying 3-pointer as time expired. In the second overtime, Gary McGhee fouled DeSean Butler when he was attempting a 3-pointer with 20 seconds remaining. Butler made all three foul shots to force the first three-overtime game for Pitt since 1976.
In the third overtime, Pitt finally finished the job. Gilbert Brown scored the go-ahead points on two free throws with 28 seconds left and Gibbs sealed the victory by making two free throws with 11.8 to go. "Without a doubt it's the greatest game I ever played in," Brown said afterward. "It was the greatest comeback since I've been at Pitt."mobilehome - pittsports

Just as a bit of ancillary info following the post I wrote this weekend about comics journalism, Newsarama.com announced today that it has been acquired by Imaginova.com, a science and technology reporting company. "Newsarama will serve as Imaginova's eyes and ears in the world of genre entertainment," according to the official press release at http://www.newsarama.com/Imaginova/announcement.html. My favourite part of the PR is where Doran and Brady recount the seven previous different iterations of the website, providing a nice bit of continuity to the announcement.
I don't really have much else to add other than to observe that it happened. It seems Brady and Doran are quite happy, and so I am happy for them. I'm also kind of tickled that the pre-complaints about a lesser quality of service have started in the comments section related to the Press Release; it's a very Newsarama-esque response to the news.

Some neighbors in Castle Rock are taking matters into their own hands after a rash of thefts and break-ins over the past four months.
Henry Simmons on Third Avenue Southwest has been sleeping in his living room recliner night after night, ready for thieves to strike again.
"I have a pistol (on the coffee table)," said Simmons. "Hopefully, I won't have to use it."
That's the precaution he's taking because thieves have broken into his truck to steal fishing poles, tools and other items.
"The way things are right now, the economy's so screwed up that if you lose a couple of tools that you make a living with, it's hard to replace them." Simmons said.
Another neighbor a block away who declined an interview has been canvassing the streets overnight looking for the people who stole from him. Many in the area are concerned about the crimes.
"We've all been kind of looking out for each other," said David West, who was the victim of a break-in a week ago. "If we hear a car we go out and look."
Someone broke into West's camper and trailer, but didn't steal anything. Still, he had to foot the bill for repairs.
"You work for your stuff and you got thieving suckers coming around and stealing it," said West. "I don't like it."
Now, West is considering installing a surveillance camera.
Castle Rock police did not return calls for comment Monday, but neighbors said police have questioned several young people who may be responsible, but they think more information is needed before any arrests can be made.

I'm Writing a Book
I have the predicament of wanting to do everything before I die. Number 234,220 on that list is writing a novel, so we're going to get that one knocked out this month.
Why November? Because it's NaNoWriMo, the unfortunately acronymed National Novel Writing Month. You can go sign up at the web site and pledge to write a 50k word novel in one month. Usually 1 out of 6 people actually finish it. I'll be one of those people. Will you?
I have a pretty cool idea for a story, and I think I'm already a pretty good storyteller. What's really exciting, though, is that writing 50k words apparently makes everyone who completes it a much better writer. Remember the practicing thing from yesterday? Let's practice being good writers. Get ready for some kick ass stories up in this piece.
I'll post bits of the story as I go, and will keep you updated on how my progress is. I have two flights this month so that's a solid 8 hours of story writing time right there.

So I have a theory, please keep in mind it's just that a theory. Peyton Hillis began the season in the Dog house because of some fumbles in the preseason. There may be other factors in practice as well that we don't know about but was virtually irrelevant until last week when he played in junk time. Last season he showed skill at running back and as a receiver from the fullback position, and McDaniels knows this as well.
Regardless of some questionable play calling in a few games McDaniels game planning has been superb, the wild horses in New England is an excellent example, and you have to assume he has a trick or two planned for the play-offs. Perhaps one of those planned tricks is to release Hillis, not as a running back unless injuries force him to because we have Moreno and Buck, but possibly in the fullback receiver position.
Him being in McDaniels doghouse early doesn't mean his talents will be ignored, we saw that with Marshall, who started the season in the dog house, even being benched, yet yesterday set an NFL record for receptions (which would have been way better had we won).
So now that its late in the season, perhaps McD has decided to wait 3 weeks before unleashing Hillis, as it seems likely that we will make the playoffs as a wild card. I don't think the offense will revolve around him in any means, but he could be a huge 3rd down/red zone option that may increase the redzone/3rd down performance.
Again, Just a theory, maybe I am wrong, but what if I am right, how awesome would it be if when we reach the playoffs Hillis can help us win a game or 2? Remember his sudden appearance as a receiver against Miami last year?

Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Minimal Tree Construction
AJWANI, GAURAV (2010) Obstacle-Avoiding Rectilinear Steiner Minimal Tree Construction. Masters thesis, Iowa State University.
Full text available as:
Obstacle-avoiding rectilinear Steiner minimal tree (OARSMT) construction is becoming one of the most sought after problems in modern design flow. In this thesis we present an algorithm to route a multi-terminal net in the presence of obstacles. Ours is a top down approach which includes partitioning the initial solution into subproblems and using obstacle aware version of Fast Lookup Table based Wirelength Estimation (OA-FLUTE) at a lower level to generate an OAST followed by recombining them with some backend refinement. To construct an initial connectivity graph we use a novel obstacle-avoiding spanning graph (OASG) algorithm which is a generalization of Zhou's spanning graph algorithm without obstacle in ASPDAC 2001. The runtime complexity of our algorithm is O(n log n).

(07/30/12) - A country club in Saginaw, which has been in limbo for more than a year and a half, will have a new use.
The building on the Germania Town and Country Club property has been sold, but while the building has new life, questions linger about the golf course.
It was last summer we told you the golf course had new life, but the building was still for sale. Today, it's the other way around.
It was back in December of 2010 when the Germania Town and Country Club dissolved.
While the building has been vacant since, the golf course - the only golf course in the city of Saginaw - got new life last summer when Frankenmuth businessman Jim Gatza had an agreement with First State Bank to operate the course. But, that agreement no longer exists.
The grass continues to grow on the golf course, but now the building will have a new tenant. Saginaw County Mental Health Authority has purchased the building and some property, but not the golf course.
Its executive director Sandra Lindsey says the mental health care provider has been looking for additional space because its main location on Saginaw is getting too small for its services. Work has already started on getting the building ready for its new use.
Rose Graham has lived along the Germania Club property for 50 years, and is happy the Mental Health Authority will use the building for human resources and training programs.
"We were glad because we thought maybe a casino or something like that would go in there," Graham said.
But there is still disappointment that the golf course continues to sit, with no buyer, and no one cutting the grass. Graham is hoping someone will purchase property soon, and change the view from her backyard.
"We really enjoyed seeing them golf," she said.
The purchase price for the Germania building is $280,000.
