TICONDEROGA - George Mackey didn't plan on staying.
"I needed a job and there was one in Ti," Mackey recalled. "I planned on staying a couple of years to get some experience and moving on."
Mackey started his 30th season as pro at the Ticonderoga Country Club April 3.
"I got to know people and really enjoyed working here," Mackey said. "My kids were born here; I've become part of the community. Ticonderoga has been good to me."
Mackey smiled as looked across the course, located in the Lord Howe Valley two miles south on the hamlet on Route 9N, noting the April 3 opening is the earliest the links have ever been completely open.
Mackey started playing golf - and working at a local course - in Schenectady at age 15. He enjoyed the game and, maybe just as important, his employers liked him.
"They really encouraged me to pursue golf as a career," he said. "They steered me in the right direction."
So, Mackey decided to be a club pro. Unlike today, when prospective pros go directly to PGA school, Mackey entered the Professional Golfers of America apprentice program. From there he went to PGA school, learning the business side of the sport as well as golf skills. After passing tests in both areas and making it through a final interview, Mackey was a PGA pro.
During that process Mackey learned of a job opening at Ticonderoga Country Club in 1981.
"I needed a job, so I applied," Mackey said. "It's turned out great. I couldn't ask for anything better."
Mackey is the longest-serving pro in the 85-year history of TCC, but he quickly deflects talk of himself to his love - the 18-hole, 6,194-yard Ticonderoga course.
"The course is open and fairly forgiving to an average player, but it still presents a challenge because of the hilly terrain," he said. "And the Trout Brook comes into play on seven holes, so there are a lot of water hazards."

Welcome to my website !!
I am currently a PhD student in the Computer Science Department of the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.
On this website, you will find information about projects I am involved in, my publications and open source tools I have developed. Feel free to check out my work and if you have any questions, comments, or would like to work together with me, don't hesitate to contact me.
My research interests are parallel and distributed computing on HPC systems with a special focus on resilience/fault tolerance. My PhD research aims to discover to what extent online failure prediction is a possibility at petascale/exascale and what are the challenges in achieving an effective fault prevention mechanism for current and future HPC systems.
My quest gave me the opportunity to play with (and sometimes crash) many large systems during my RAs and internships. Here is a summary:

Police: Footprints in snow lead to arrestStaff Report | February 09,2013Rutland Police say they followed footprints from a convenience store robbery to a man they arrested shoveling snow outside a home on Clover Street early Saturday morning.
At 3:15 a.m., police responded to a burglary alarm at the Midway Mobil on South Main Street where evidence showed that someone had smashed out a window with a crowbar, police said.
Numerous cartons of cigarettes were taken during the break-in, police said.
With new snow blanketing the ground, police said they followed a set of tracks across South Main Street to Clover Street where the tracks ended at a driveway being shoveled by 42-year-old Dean Hugerth.
While Hugerth lives in Rutland, the people residing inside the home told police he didn't live there. Review of surveillance camera footage inside the store showed Hugerth breaking in and taking the cartons, police added.
Hugerth was taken to the Rutland jail where he remains held on bail pending his arraignment Monday on a felony burglary charge, police said.MORE IN This Just InVermont hazardous-materials team members were at the Asa Bloomer state office building in...

|A PBDJ article and code sample by Bruce Armstrong. Covers
how to use Apache Axis to deploy a PowerBuilder 9 newsgroup search component
running on Sybase EAServer as a Web service, and call it from a JSP.
| Apache
SOAP 2.2 with Sybase EAServer
|Instructions to get EAServer 4.0 or 3.6.1 installation up and running with Apache SOAP 2.2
|Apache Tomcat with EAServer
| Although EAServer is a J2EE application server designed to
host both Web Components and Enterprise Java Beans, some users may wish
to use the Apache Tomcat engine as a Web Container, and delegate just the
EJB requests to EAServer. In this white paper and code sample, we show you
how to achieve just that.
|Authentication Service Demo
|Includes a Java component to demonstrate EAServer's support
for user configurable authentication service, and how it can be customized
to suit the security policy of the user environment
| Authentication
via JAAS and JDBC Connection
|Demonstrates how to use JAAS (Java Authentication and Authorization
Service) to authenticate our users against a database via a JDBC connection.
(For jagadmin it authenticates against EAServer). It is quite easy to replace
the user authentication piece with your own (or blank it out to give everyone
|Authorization Service
|In this sample, the Java component writes authorization information,
including session, user, and role information to the Jaguar server log,
then allows access to proceed. The authorization component is invoked for
a PowerBuilder component, which is called from a PowerBuilder client application.
|ClickStream for Tracking Users in EAServer
|Example uses ClickStream and EAServer 4.1. By knowing how
visitors use your Web site, what pages they visit, and in what order, you
can customize Web site content for each user or improve on your site's navigation.

to EAServer, and an example SSL callback implementation. Includes a simple
client to print SSL session info, a utility class to print proxy SSL settings,
a client that allows the user to choose required security options as needed
|CORBA Intro
|Contains a Java applet that uses EAServer's Java ORB to instantiate
a component and execute its methods.
|Custom Tag Library
|This sample provides a Custom Tag Library (CTL) to invoke EAServer components. The CTL handles (or hides) the required logic behind the scenes, allowing different types of component calls to be called genericallt from JSP. The JSP uses the CTL to invoke an EJB component via JNDI, and a PB component via CORBA
|EAServer Message Service with PowerBuilder
|Provides an example showing how the EAServer MessageService
can be used together with a PowerBuilder 8 or 9 application.
|EAStarter Kit - PowerBuilder to Web samples

settings using jagtool
|EAServer Integrator Utility (EASi)
|EASi provides a simple, unique, elegant, code-free and complete
solution that would allow EAServer to communicate with existing and established
application servers that already contain rich beds of business logic. Through
the use of EASi, EAServer can invoke existing components deployed on other
vendor's application servers.
|EJB 2.0 Container Managed Persistence
|This sample defines two components to demonstrate the use
of container managed persistence for entity beans, including EJB-QL queries
for finder and select methods. This sample also shows the use of local interfaces.
|Error Handling in EAServer Components and Applications
|See Chapter 4 of the EAServer
Troubleshooting Guide for several code samples that demonstrate techniques
for handling exceptions in Java CORBA components, CORBA C++ components,
and JSP pages.
|Flush Static Page Cache
This is a simple Java client program that connects to EAServer and flushes the static page cache, using the flushStaticPageCache method of the Jaguar/Management interface.

|Getting Started with EAServer, PowerBuilder and JSP
|Includes a PBL and JSP along with a tutorial to will walk you through the setup of EAServer and bringing your first DataWindow to Web.
| Google
Search Web Service with PowerBuilder 9 JSPs
|Steps you through creation of Java Server Page to access the
Google Web APIs service from a Java Server Page built with PowerBuilder
9, deployed to a J2EE server such as EAServer.
|J2EE application - My Portfolio stock trading simulation
|Web application simulates an online stock trading service.
JSPs provide the user interface. The JSPs call EJB session beans for client
session management, and the session beans call EJB entity beans to manage
data in the back-end database. The application uses Message Driven Beans
(MDBs) and the Java Message Service (JMS) API to create alert messages in
response to stock price changes
|J2EE PetStore 1.3 on EAServer 4.1
|The Petstore 1.3 application conforms to the J2EE 1.3 spec.
This version of the Petstore application makes use of the new features like
JMS and servlet filters, and EJB container managed persistance (cmp 2.0).
The successful deployment of the Java PetStore 1.3 application clearly indicates
EAServer's ability to implement the new features included in the J2EE 1.3
spec and the ability to conform to the spec.
|J2ME Toolit and Smart Ticket demo with EAServer
|Configuration and deployment of the Sun J2ME Wireless Toolkit and Sun Smart Ticket demo application to EAServer. Smart Ticket allows users to buy movie tickets through a mobile device. Customers can sign into the application; browse a personalized list of movies, theaters and showtimes; and purchase seats for a particular show.
|JAAS in EAServer
|Demonstrates the use of JAAS APIs and LoginModule in a Java client application for user authentication.
| Jagtool
and Jagant for Automated Development and Deployment
|Contains a a sample build file that shows how jagtool commands can be used with Jakarta Ant.
|Jaguar Agent for Web Services (JAWS)
| JAWS is a servlet that allows Web clients to invoke methods
of PowerBuilder custom class user (nonvisual) objects running in EAServer.
It provides a natural migration path for Web.PB applications, and a mechanism
for Jaguar components written in other languages such as Java or C++ to
return Web content to a browser.
|Jaguar Cookie Monster
|This utility is a Jaguar service that eats old cookies, keeping
your Jaguar repository to a manageable size. Every time the Jaguar server
is restarted, the CookieMonster browses the repository to find PowerBuilder
components, then "eats" outdated cookies that are unnecessarily
taking up space.
|Java Performance Monitoring API (JAMon)
A free, simple, high performance, thread safe, Java API that allows developers to easily monitor production applications. JAMon can be used to determine application performance bottlenecks, user/application interactions, and application scalability. JAMon gathers summary statistics such as hits, execution times (total, average, minimum, maximum, standard deviation), and simultaneous application requests.
| JavaServer
Pages: Tag Libraries vs. JavaBeans
|This sample contains a small, simple example of using both JavaBeans and custom tags inside of a JSP page.
|JAXP: Coding for Parser and Transformer Independence
|Article and code sample for JAXP, the API for XML Processing.
EAServer has included support for JAXP since version 3.6.1.
|Java Message Service (JMS) in EAServer
|Get up and running with JMS and EAServer in approximately
15 minutes. Configure and run the JMS equivalent of a basic "Hello
World" point-to-point messaging solution. Moving to topic-based messaging
from there is a logical and easy step.

|Create JSP in JBuilder to Retrieve ResultSet from EAServer Connection Cache
|JBuilder Samples for EAServer Plugin
|How to deploy and remotely debug a session EJB, deploy and
invoke a servlet, deploy a JSP to invoke session bean method
|JNDI utility for EAServer's JagTool
|Includes the JagTool version of the Java Naming and Directory
Interface (JNDI) utility. The jagtool ejb_binding command shows the JNDI
binding for EJBs found in a package
|JMX MBean Service Builder
|SimpleMBean extends com.sybase.management.jmx.services.ServiceSupport, a Sybase-provided abstract class, which you can use to build services for EAServer 5.0.
Log Monitor
|Obtains an RMI connection to the JMX MBeanServer, and monitors the contents of the EAServer error log, checking for a string that, if seen, triggers a server restart, using the service interface exposed over JMX.
|JMX Notification Listener
|Obtains an RMI connection to the JMX MBeanServer, and listens for JMX notifications generated by the ServicesManager MBean, which are sent whenever a service MBean changes state, or an operation is performed on it. For example, if EAServer is shut down (or crashes), this generates events that are picked up by the sample.
|JSP uses ResultSet from EAServer Connection Cache
|JSP that uses EAServer connection cache to get a ResultSet
from the jagdemo database, an output an HTML table with the data.
|LDAP with EAServer and PB 8.0
|This example application uses a PowerBuilder client that will

|PowerBuilder XML Generator
|The PB XML Generator provides developers with the ability
to export existing PB 7.x and 8.x DataWindows as XML documents through a
simple JSP tag library and EAServer components. Tag attribute values are
specified through an HTML form and JSP or servlet, allowing the user to
customize the DataWindow export to XML.
|Redirecting Reports To Different Printers In EAServer On Solaris
|Script and guidelines for printing DataWindow/Datastore objects produced by PowerBuilder components running on EAServer on the Solaris platform.
|Security Demo - C++ version
|Contains a Java applet and a C++ component that demonstrate
Jaguar's SSL support. The C++ component uses Jaguar's built-in CtsSecurity/UserCredentials
component to determine the SSL username and other SSL connection properties.
The applet calls the sample component and displays the results.
|Security Demo - Java version
|Contains a Java applet and a Java component that demonstrate
Jaguar's SSL support. The Java component uses Jaguar's built-in CtsSecurity/UserCredentials
component to determine the SSL username and other SSL connection properties.
The applet calls the sample component and displays the results.
|Servlet to Read EAServer Log Files
This utility -- LogReader -- allows you to read EAServer log files with a browser using a Servlet. You choose the log file you want to view from a menu. The log file will be positioned at the end of the page so you can see the last messages written. By simply reloading or refreshing the page you get an updated view of the log.
|Simulating Server Push in PB and EAServer
|A client application cannot pass a PowerBuilder object reference
to EAServer. But, this behaviour can be simulated by using a shared object
on the client to communicate with EAServer. To simulate server push, the
client uses the SharedObjectRegister and SharedObjectGet functions to create
a shared object. Once the object has been created, the main thread on the
client makes an asynchronous call to a method on the shared object, passing
it a callback object that should be notified when processing has finished
on the server. The method on the shared object makes a synchronous call
to the EAServer component method that performs processing
|SOAP Development with PowerJ 4.0 and PowerBuilder 8.0
|Whitepaper provides an introduction to SOAP, with corresponding
code examples including a PowerBuilder component to use as a Web Service
in EAServer, and a Java SOAP client.
|SOAP sample application - Canine Shelter
|For EAServer 4.1 and 4.2. Demonstrates how a client application
would use the Sybase ClientProxy to construct and send a SOAP request to
an EAServer server. The ClientProxy hides all the details of SOAP processing
and HTTP and HTTPS transport, allowing the client programmer to concentrate
on client business process. The sample application is a Canine Shelter search
that sends a SOAP request for dog records that contain information matching
the search criteria entered by the user.
|TabularResults open source
|The TabularResults package is designed as a CORBA & Java
Serializable ResultSet holder. It allows the entire result set to be tored
in memory (so the connection to the DB can be closed), and the results can
be transmitted by Serialization or CORBA marshalling.
|WAP using Struts, iAWS, and EAServer
|This sample includes an introduction to WAP (Wireless
Application Protocol), which is is based on WML (Wireless Markup Language).
The paper steps through several options for creating WAP applications. It
covers the use of Struts and Servlets in EAServer, PowerJ, and iAWS ( iAnywhere
Wireless Server).
|Web DataWindow hosted by EAServer in ASP
|Code sample and step-by-step instructions for installing and
testing the Web DataWindow in ASP / EAServer environments
|WebDataWindow in ASP or MTS
|Sample web page, and instructions for installing and testing
the Web DataWindow (WebDW) in either ASP or MTS environments
|Web DataWindows with JSPs Using Custom Tags
| This paper outlines the steps needed to create a custom JSP
tag extension to handle a DataWindow object. A completed example is provided
as a PowerJ project.
|Web Services ANT Scripts
|EAServer 5.0 sample to walk you through using wstool commands in the ant build file to deploy a Web service, manage it, retrieve information about it, and run a client to invoke operations on it.
|Web Service CORBA Component
| EAServer 5.0 sample to step you through exposing a stateless
CORBA component as a Web Service
|Web Services dot Net Client (EAServer 5 version)
| EAServer 5.0 sample to install and expose a Web service then
create a .NET client to invoke the Web service.
|Web Service dot Net Sample (EAServer 4 version)
|Shows a simple example for .NET Interoperablity in the Web
Services Toolkit. Covers deployment of the stateless bean in an EJB jar,
WSDL file generation, creating the client side proxy, building a .NET client,
and running the C# .NET client
|Web Services Dynamic Client
| EAServer 5.0 sample to invoke a web service without requiring
any client side artifacts be generated. The client knows the name of the
method to invoke, the details about the method being invoked
|Web Service EJB Component
|EAServer 5.0 sample to expose a stateless session EJB as a
Web then invoke it from a JSP client
|Web Service Java Class and Client
| EAServer 5.0 sample to invoke a web service without requiring
any client side artifacts be generated. The client knows the name of the
method to invoke, the details about the method being invoked
|Web Service with PB Component and Client (EAServer 4 version)
| Steps you through creation and deployment of a PB component,
using the EAServer Web Services Toolkit to automatically generate the WSDL,
creating the proxy from PowerBuilder, and creating a PB client to invoke
the Web service
|Web Service with PowerBuilder Component and Client (EAServer 5 version)
| Sample illustrates how to use a PowerBuilder 9 component
as a Web service hosted in EAServer 5, and use a PowerBuilder 9 client to
call the Web service
|Web Service with PB Generated JSP (EAServer 4 version)
| Tutorial steps you through PowerBuilder to create a JSP Web
service application, including a 4GL JSP page, that you deploy to EAServer
|Web Service with JAX-RPC Interfaces
| EAServer 5.0 sample that demonstrates how to develop, deploy
and run a Web service that conforms to JAX-RPC specification
|Web Service with Security Authorization Checks
| EAServer 5.0 sample that shows how a Web service could enforce
authorization checks on the operations
|Web Services in EAServer 5 with Google Search Service
| Provides the steps needed to access the Google Web
APIs service from the EAServer 5 Web Services Toolkit. By just pointing
to the service WSDL file, you can use the EAServer Wizards to automatically
create the files needed to invoke the web service operations from EAServer,
and to create a Java test client as well
|XPath to Navigate XML Documents
|Sample and whitepaper shows how to use the XPathAPI.java class
that ships with Apache Xalan to navigate XML documents using XPath. The
class exposes methods that allow you to issue XPath statement(s) against
an XML document, returning a NodeIterator that can be used to iterate through
the matches. Furthermore, you can arbitrarily grab DOM Nodes from the iterator
that can then be used to further drill down into the XML, if desired

Reports First
NNS First Quarter EPS UP
Newport News Shipbuilding (NNS) reported net earnings of $21 million, or $.63 diluted share, for the first quarter of 2000. Earnings before interest and taxes (EBIT) for the quarter were $47 million, up from EBIT of $44 million in last year's first quarter. The company reported first quarter revenues of $469 million as compared to last year's figures of $430 million during the same period. This growth in revenue was attributable to gains in the construction and engineering segments. Construction revenues improved $25 million to $206 million as a result of advance planning work on the next aircraft carrier (CVN 77), as well as more activity on the Virginia-class submarine program. NNS finished a nine-month competition for the selection of the Warfare Systems Integrator for CVN 77 this past January. The expansion of the prime contractor role, which includes management of this process - previously performed by the Navy - the company will add approximately $500 million to the value of the construction contract.

Its my lunch hour! Hurry up!
Find a Conversation
|Thu, 05-20-2010 - 8:37pm
I went in for a dating ultrasound today since when I went for my first prenatal visit last week, we couldn't see the fetal pole. My appointment was scheduled for 11:45 and finally at 12:40, I was called back into the exam room. The nurse didn't weigh me, take my bp, or anything else before she left me in the ultrasound room. When my doctor showed up 5 minutes later he said, "what are you doing, get undressed!" I laughed at him, because he's a pain the rear and we have a fairly contentious love/hate relationship: I loved him when my daughter was in distress during delivery two years ago, but hate having to deal with his ego. He doesn't like that I tried to kick him in the head during labor (he has good reflexes and ducked, so its all good).
Anyway, so he sent me to the bathroom to empty my bladder since we would be doing a vaginal ultrasound, and told me to meet him back in the room after, undressed from the waist down. Fine. On the way back from the bathroom, I saw him headed toward his desk to grab his lunch, so I hopped on the scale to check my weight and he said, "what are you doing? Its my lunch hour. Hurry up." He was laughing and I was laughing and it was all good, and when I got back in my room, I stripped my shorts off, hopped up on the table, and was in the stirrups when he arrived. He was laughing so hard when he saw me ready to go. He asked me what I was doing and I said, "you told me to hurry up!"
Good news is we saw the baby and the heartbeat but the bad news is, I have to deal with my pain in the rear OB for the next 8 months! I don't trust him as far as I could throw him, he doesn't think my idea of natural labor and birth fit into his schedule well, he's always an hour late in his appointment schedule, he'll fight me all the way through labor to give me pit or try to break my water, but in an emergency, he's the person I would want to save my and my baby's life, if need be.

Large Hadron Timewaster
The CERNocrats have decided it will be another few months before they can restart the world's biggest scientific money-smashing machine, the Large Hadron Collider. The 17-mile underground money pit on the Swiss-French frontier will restart in September with a few Hadrons colliding in October, after which a Christmas shutdown …
anything they find
anything they find will be more worthwhile then anything you have achieved - be happy in that knowledge.
Is it run by plumbers?
I'm waiting for the "You bought one of these mate? I doubt I can get the parts these days. Tell you what, why don't I install a new one for you? I've got one in the back of my van which can be yours for £8bn. Cash only, mind"
Wrong side of the smasher this morning?
Blimey - that's a bit overwhelmingly negative, isn't it? Surely we're better spending the money on this - something that *could* reveal something genuinely interesting about the world we find ourselves in - rather than say... ooh... biometric ID cards?
Why don't you just fuck off and live in a cave, with no computer and no electricity, not wear any synthetic fibres, not use any medicines and shit in a hole in the ground?
If you're prepared to put up with the benefits of Science, you can put up with the costs. £4 billion is peanuts compared to what the USA spends on [insert frivolous crap here] each year
"It seems that, like fractals, which are infinitely complex at whatever scale they are examined, there will always be smaller bits of atoms inside the current smallest bits you are looking at. All you need is an ever-bigger hammer to deconstruct them and the LHS is just a waystation on the path to the ELHC (Even Larger Hadron Collider)."
That's what happens when you have pundits who should first consult a physics manual before pulling out an article about "waste" out of their nether regions. Planck length. Look it up.
And of course there will never be a larger hadron collider. Because you want to get clean collisions when going to higher energies, so back to leptons it will be.
They'd better get a move on
At this rate tectonic movement will squeeze the Alps some more and push the whole thing out of alignment before they run any real experiments.
Give up
Yeah, you're probably right. When was anything worth doing achieved by persevering after a setback?
So nothing negative in this report at all?
Journalism, while not the most reliable sources of news, should at least have the semblance of unbiased fact rather than a personal vendetta.
Chris, it is plainly obvious that you have nothing but disdain for what potentially could be the most important event in Human history.
I'm not denying that it could also possibly be nothing more than a very expensive failed experiment, but without such things, advances cannot happen.
So rather than calling it a 'timewaster'. why not try objective journalistic reporting. It might even make you a happier person.
The reason the LHC was "switched" on last year, was because the consortia's politicians said it had to be. Being switched on and being switched on at full power are (forgive the pun), light years apart. Another interseting fact is that, (due to time constraints to hit the autumn switch-on), CERN only tested 1/10 of the magnets, which are needed to keep the beam away from the pipelines wall. That's professional isn't it?
My guess therefore is by October 2009, + 6 months they might have ignition at full power and be able to do some useful stuff.
Why tell the truth in the first place.
Think of it as an employment scheme
Graduate physicists are quite cheap; a lot of the money has gone on buying airfares and PCs. Even if they don't find anything much, it's better value for money (and a general economic boost) than hosing cash at banks, say.
Of course, I'd rather the money had been spent on <b>my</b> airfares and PCs, but research in IT security is never as sexy as finding out "fundamental secrets of the universe".
Oh sure
Oh sure, the LHC may help physicist gain a greater understanding of this magnificent and massively complex system, we call the universe. Sure they may even discover some answers to the fundamental questions; when? where? how? (and possibly even) why? Sure, such deep curiosity is probably the greatest thing we humans can claim as truly _ours_; extension of natural mammal inquisitiveness it may be, we've managed to make it an art. But...
Will it help me pay for my fuel bills, rent, grumble-mag subscription fees, pop-tarts etc?
Sigh... time to get back to work, huddled over my desk, bashing the keys with my palms. Look how far we've come.
Better ways to spend billions?
Yes, there are many.
Still, there maybe benefits to the whole of humanity arising from this project. Where as spending billions bailing out banks so they can continue dishing out obscene bonuses to high level bank staff whilst ripping of customers with ridiculous charges generally benefits a handful bankers.
missing something here...
LHC... isn't that at CERN?
And didn't they invent the web?
As a BYPRODUCT of their core research?
But you're probably right. Money down the drain.
Birth of a new 21st century science
Hadroncollidology - the study and prediction of hadron colliders.
So far it has been established the little beggars have voracious appetites, but apparently excrete very little of interest. Speculation is rife that ingested matter simply disappears down a black hole. Inter-disciplinary studies should be promoted, which might indicate cognitive resonance with black holography, and genetic connections with us-urology.
I believe (can't find a reference) P M S Blackett said "we've run out of money so we'll have to think". Might not be a bad thing if they do run out of money?
@ A J Stiles
<mode=incredulous> "the benefits of Science"????</mode>
Exaclty how does this promise to benefit anyone but a bunch of daft Physisists who can't make themselves understood in a room full of normal people and who spend all their lives underground in Switzerland because they can't get girls? "Why don't we go back to my place: I've some pretty revolutionary equations of state that you might find illuminating".
I never saw such an example of compensating in my life (cries of "Ooh, you should see the size of *my* Hadron Collider, ducks" echo in the background).
Pertinent question: Where's my effing flying car, and how much sooner will I get one if this bloody magnet from hell is switched to maximum revs?
I wonder what you would be saying
if they wanted to spend billions on studying NOTHING. Vacuum is very interesting if you know how to look at it closely. I would back such schemes, but then I never had much truck with beancounter attitudes.
Anyway, it beats spending money on Euro/Joint Strike/Insert favourite here/ fighters or aircraft carriers that do not seem to be fit for the wars we fight now (that should get people going).

Apparently he said "if at first you don't succeed, failure may be your style".
I mean, after all, if noone had ever done costly fundamental research, things would be pretty much the same.
Oh, no, wait, my mistake - if we never spent any money, and occasionally craploads of money, on fundamental research, we'd be pretty much stuck at the Industrial Revolution.
Well, at least we can get pissed because they keep missing deadlines, right? I mean, it's not as if there's any reason for cutting-edge technology that requires sub-micron precision on a kilometer scale not to work at the first attempt.
Oh, damn, sorry, wrong again - given the sheer number of components, even with a rather small chance of individual failure, it'd have been a bloody miracle if the LHC had worked on the first try.
Why is this author posing, er, posting in Physics??
If an "author" can't even describe a hadron as anything other than "bits of atoms", then perhaps his/her grasp of the physics at stake really isn't compelling enough to be a source of public record - or even an informed opinion shouted from an electronic soapbox.
For the record, we need the LHC because we KNOW that our best current theories of quantum physics are at least a leeeetle wrong, and/or a leeeetle incomplete. Sure would be nice to actually FIND evidence of a Higgs bosun to explain where mass comes from, rather than just postulating it and hoping the maths work (they do SO far...). The US Superconducting Supercollider would have settled things even better, but given it's departure from this universe (funding-wise), the LHC is the closest we are going to get to enough energies to fill in some gaps we have in our quantum physical models, and make any corrections needed. And explain dark matter, dark energy, quark interactions at a distance, and a perhaps a host of other things that are currently bothering us that don't really make a lot of sense or can't be proven.
Perhaps more important, considering the WWW itself is an offshoot of CERN technology development, having El Reg criticize the cost of it's development is rather funny...without the WWW, most of your authors would be waiting tables or actually having to write code or something tedious...
A dig at physics research spending on an IT site?
You're preaching to the wrong crowd, mate. Try the Daily Fail.
Science? Progress?
Why bother? Sounds expensive, and it might take a few months longer than pen-pushers and bean-counters feel is 'reasonable'.
Wait a sec, I'll come back to this later once I have lit a fire - it's cold here and all I have to light it are two rocks to bash together.
The culture of aggressive ignorance.
>"Physicists say they are on a noble quest to understand the fundamental structure of matter - but does it matter?"
Yes, it does, you ignorant barbarian. And it will undoubtedly lead to practical applications as a spinoff down the line. Case in point: our entire fucking industry exists because of the theoretical research done into quantum mechanics by the guys with the first generation of cyclotrons. So yes it pays your bleedin' bills, even if that's the limit of your short-sighted horizon owing to your utter lack of aspiration for the higher achievements of which humanity is capable.
Just because you don't understand something doesn't make it worthless. You're showing the same attitude of wilful anti-intellectual know-nothingism as the creationists and fundies and other anti-science zealots, and psychologically it's nothing more than your own inferiority complex writ large: you don't understand it, can't see what it's for, yet you are unable to admit that this is merely a consequence of your own ignorance of what is after all a highly technical subject, preferring to believe that instead it must be worthless because you do not even acknowledge the possibility of there being things beyond your understanding. Well, you're just going to have to grow up and face the facts: you don't know everything, some people know more than you about some things, and you don't have any "right" to automatically be correct in your every whimsical and uninformed opinion.
Oh dear...
Why such a negative article in a website dedicated to science and technology? This feels like it's been lifted out an ignoramous paper like the Sun or Daily Sport...
The LHC will bring us that much closer to understanding the 80-90% of the universe we appear to be missing. I think that's worth more than the NPfIT, don't you?
Also - I would like the editorial team to seriously consider this reporters position and his suitability for the job as it appears to me to be terrible.
Does it matter?
No, of course not. Let's just all give up on science because, obviously, playing video games or surfing the web is just more fun and important than learning stuff about how the world works.
BE thankful
It was at CERN that the WWW was created - that medium that you are using now to spread your own personal vendetta.
Faraday asked "What use is an unborn child?" This research has no immediate use. It's what it may grow into that is excitiing. Maybe a way of cold fusion? Maybe showing how to make submoleculer structures to store higher data densities? Perhaps a tigher noninvasive imaging beam or maybe advanced radiotherpy beams.
Who knows. You certainly don't and neither do the scientists doing the research but that's *why*.
Flammable symbol because there isnt an acid one for your vitriol.
Is it just me, or....
Does the whole idea of a collider seem akin to studying biology by hitting frogs with a sledgehammer?
>Think of it as an employment scheme
Actually it's more a money laundering scheme.
Your country gets contracts pro-rated on your contribution. But there are only a few companies able to actually build this kit, so BAe bid for the UK's portion of the magnets - sub contract the job while keeping a percentage.
Some proprtion of the money actually gets spent on research but most of it is back-handers to the biggest employers in each country's marginal constituencies. Still it's cheaper than building eurofighters.
Exactly what are the news?
To summarize article facts:
1- LHC is delayed
2- LHC costs a lot of money
3- We don't know if LHC will provide any results useful in real life.
Exactly what is the difference between the LHC and other science projects? Perhaps is that it's finances are open and inspectable? Apart from the author obvious traumas related to things that collision at high speed when spinned in a large circular tunnel, I cannot see any difference.
The key point to remember is that most of those huge projects have perhaps not ever derived any direct benefits by themselves, but the technologies developed for them often have. Does anyone have a single example of a direct benefit of having a man put its feet on the moon? Noone. Right, but the technologies developed for achieving that stupid goal changed our lives a great deal. LHC is in the same category.
Flames meet author, author meet lot and lots of flames.
I bet you are suprised by how many people think your article sucks.
I suspect it has something to them being far smarter than you that you jump up and down like a 2 year old yes?
Get back with the rest of the idiots, saddly there are too many people like you and the author, if it had been up to the likes of you the trains would never have gone past 30 miles an hour for fear of people being crushed to death by the huge pressures put on bodies at such huge speeds.
Or we'd still believe that it was bad smells that made us sick.
Or that there were monsters in the sea and if you went too far you'd fall off.
Dicks, all of you.
RE: "Exaclty how does this promise to benefit anyone but a bunch of daft Physisists who can't make themselves understood in a room full of normal people and who spend all their lives underground in Switzerland because they can't get girls?"
Yeah an understanding of Physics and subatomic particles has NEVER benefitted anyone has it?
It may be that we cannot see the outcome right now. It may even prove to be that there IS no usefull info to be extracted from the LHC, and it's a giant flop. But without doing this experiment, we will not know.
What if the result of this research is a cheap, safe, sustainable source of power? Will it still be a waste of time then?
Even if all the LHC does is rovide more data, to be used by the next generation of scientists, to design more experiments, IMHO it is still worthwhile. Advancing our understanding of the universe is a worthwhile goal on its own, even if there are no immediate, tangible benefits.
It's all the BBC's fault
If they hadn't spent a month trying to convince the world that the start date was last summer, no-one would be surprised or particularly concerned that a twenty year project has slipped a few months.
Oh, and Faraday was once asked what was the value of his research into electricity and magnetism. He replied, "Who knows, prime minister? Perhaps one day you'll be able to tax it." And for something closer to home, the transistor was predicted using some daft mathematical bollocks called quantum mechanics in the late 30s, but not actually built in the lab until the late 40s. Still think abstract physics research is useless? Well switch off your computer and crawl back home to your hovel, heated and lit by a wood fire, you miserable troglodyte.
"It seems that, like fractals, which are infinitely complex at whatever scale they are examined, "
Fractals are not infinitely complex, by definition they repeat themselves. Some fractals are not complex at all, consisting of nothing more than a few lines or a small spattering of "dust". The Mandelbrot set is infinite, but it is technically not a fractal (according to Benoit).
I know that you were trying really hard to sound intelligent in your article, but you have failed miserably. Please crawl back under whatever rock you call home, and ODFO.
Where the hell is Lester? Why has he been replaced with an amateur?
research not worth it
I suppose we shouldn't be "wasting" lots of cash in Nuclear Fusion either - nothing wrong with burning the inexaustible supplies of fossil fuels... oh wait... just maybe the potential rewards to the entire planet let alone the entire human race might actually benefit in some way that can't be measured in mere $'s.
Fuck off back under your prehistoric rock you total fucktard.
A better answer
Robert Wilson, a leading American expert on accelerator design, had a better argument when he gave evidence before a Senate Committee. What, he was asked, would this expensive project do for the defence of the United States? 'Nothing', was the reply, 'but it will make the United States worth defending'.
Eurekas & Euphorias - The Oxford Book of Scientific Anecdotes
It's dead. Kill it.
At the very least they should be firing people.
They switch it on. It breaks immediately. They try to fix it. Something else breaks. Now *a year later* having achieved nothing but eat money they 'might' be thinking of switching it on again.
I don't believe it for a minute. The thing is so damned fragile it'll probably immediately break again, and eventually people will realize that throwing money at this isn't doing anything but getting a bunch of people quite rich.
Parsing the name
It's not the hadron collider that is large, it's a collider for large hadrons.
@ Stevie: CERN provides a whole lot of computer research, in addition to their physics, due to the very large amounts of data they have to shuffle around and then analyse.
ID Cards: £4.7bn so far
LHC: £4bn so far
I know which I'd rather see money spent on.
@ Stevie
We don't know right now exactly how the lessons learned from the LHC experiment will benefit society at large. That's why it's called an experiment. However, you can be sure that *something* will come of it. (Spray paint for blocking mobile phone signals, maybe?)
Anyway, you'll regret the day you asked for your flying car when you're stuck in a 3-D traffic jam.
Mine's the one that fastens with Velcro, a byproduct of the Apollo missions.
money wont matter (intended pun) :O)
we might not need any money after the first time they boot this baby up for real lol, looking for 'god' particles ??? 'mini big bang' ??? WTFs a mini big bang, either its a BIG bang or it isnt innit ???
should be mighty interesting if theres anything left after the first (and only ??) run lol, this delay has allowed me to complete my very very very deep bunker in a disused coal mine in the uk, probably a waste of time, but heh, ya gotta look on the bright side and keep a stiff upper lip dont ya think ?? :O)
Costs of things for a comparison
Refurbishing MoD offices - 1.5bn pounds
Widening the M1 - 1.9bn pounds
Replacing trident - 25bn pounds
World expenditure on cosmetics - 33bn dollars per year
Naked short selling and poor banking regulation - 1000's of bn's of dollars
World arms expenditure - 1200bn dollars per year
Iraq war - 2000-3000bn dollars and rising
Poorly informed journalism - priceless
Yes the LHC takes a long time and a lot of money, but at least it is useful to society. Look around you, practically every non-living thing that is there is a result of science and engineering. A little appreciation would go a long way.
where do i start ?
bloody hell mate, have a rant why don't you? if everyone had this attitude we'd all be crawling around naked in the mud going 'ugh' and wondering what the big shiny things in the sky were. It's research into fundamental physics that made your computer possible, you know ...
@ Destroy All Monsters
Everyone knows it's not Planck length, it's Planck thickness. Look it up.
Suggestion for the Register
I notice that at the top of the article there is a link that says "Get more from this author" , perhaps there could also be one that says "Get less from this author".
After all this debate...
...and not one mention of the "negative strangelet."
Pandora's box
What an enjoyable set of angry, cross, bemused, and ironic comments have come from the story. Yes it was not precise enough about fractals and hadrons and bosons and mesons and, yes, thank you CERN for the WWW which is priceless compared to the US space program's non-stick frying pan spin-off, but, well, it's almost as if fundamental physics research is a religion and shall not be questioned. Why ever not? How much does a research experiment in fundamental physics have to cost before it should be stopped?

Look how far you HAVE dome. You CAN have pop-tarts. And instead of eating the local fauna after running the little bastards down and killing them with your stick, you can make a living typing in a room without predators eating your ringpiece. And then BUY pop tarts to keep that ringpeice from getting too close to the seat.
And Chris, if you are going to be an arsehole, how com YOU get paid for it??? Fuckwit El Reg team.
Quenching always happens
If you knew a little about particle accelerators, you would know that magnets always need quenching when they are first turned on. And the next time they turn the LHC on there will be magnets needing quenching too. I imagine that they are spending this time checking every cable, solder joint, junction and weld on the damn thing so the failures won't be so catastrophic, but there _will_ be failures.
I apologise If I sound fanatical but I have little time for idiots. If a certain set of idiots in America hadn't cancelled that accelerator in Texas we might know more about
a) Hadrons.
b) Failure modes in large particle accelerators.

Fellaini stars as Everton beat United
Robin van Persie's much-anticipated debut for Manchester United failed to prevent Everton delivering an early reality check in their bid to regain the Barclays Premier League title as David Moyes' side claimed a 1-0 win.
While defending champions and near-neighbours Manchester City achieved a come-from-behind win against Southampton on Sunday, the Red Devils were second best for most of the contest at Goodison Park on Monday night.
The thorn in their side was midfielder Marouane Fellaini, who was a constant threat and deservedly capped an impressive performance with the only goal early in the second half.

Through a close examination or memoirs and oral histories, I argue that the manner in which the refugees experiences the approximately twelve years (1938-1950) they spent in Shanghai was informed by their nationality, gender, and age. Further, I argue that the twelve years they spent in Shanghai eroded the refugee's behavioral, material, and emotional connections to their old lives in Germany and Austria until all they had left was language and memories. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Distributivity and Plural Anaphora LaTerza, Christopher http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15826 2014-10-12T02:30:40Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: Distributivity and Plural Anaphora Authors: LaTerza, Christopher Abstract: This dissertation is an investigation of the semantics of sentences exhibiting plural referential dependencies. I will pursue two main lines of thought, each with consequences for the notion of distributivity as it is understood to apply to certain linguistic phenomena. First I consider the empirical scope of an event-based theory of distributivity, and argue that this approach can provide a simple and empirically adequate semantics for plural anaphoric relations such as reciprocity, reflexivity, and distance distributivity. The second part focuses on plural referential dependencies in attitude reports; in particular I address issues about distributivity and plurality that arise in cases of plural De Se ascription. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z The Great House of Benjamin West: Family, Workshop, and National Identity in Late Georgian England Fox, Abram Jacob http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15806 2014-10-12T02:35:19Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: The Great House of Benjamin West: Family, Workshop, and National Identity in Late Georgian England Authors: Fox, Abram Jacob Abstract: Anglo-American painter Benjamin West (1738-1820) holds a unique position in the history of Western art. Active during the foundational periods of not one, but two, national schools of art to which he could rightfully claim membership, West recognized his inimitable position in the development of English and American art and sought to position himself at the forefront of each nation. This dissertation examines his fluid national and artistic identities over the course of his instructional relationships with his American students, and the shifting personal and professional goals harbored by each party. While scholars have acknowledged the relation of West's pedagogical practice to his identity as an artist, this study presents an organic account of the relationships between teacher and students as an embodiment of West's ongoing and unprecedented attempts at fame, fortune, and legacy. This legacy was central to Benjamin West's identity as an artist. His professional career was dedicated to the self-aggrandizement of his identities as an (exotic) American, a prolific painter of high-minded scenes of history and religion, and the head of a workshop teeming with artists who shared his heritage, though not always his aesthetic inclinations. Over his career he cultivated a reputation as a welcoming instructor, always willing to give advice or lessons to any artist who approached him. This was not solely an act of altruism. Instead, it was the cornerstone of his construction of a proverbial House of West, a workshop-family whose members and their works would reflect back on the genius of the master, just as strongly as his own oeuvre. Through the examination of four case studies of his instruction of American students – that of Charles Willson Peale, Gilbert Stuart, John Trumbull, and a circle of students led by Washington Allston – this study integrates Benjamin West's teaching practice with his career aspirations, positioning his pedagogy within the greater framework of his self-presentation. In doing so, it presents a history painter engrossed in the promulgation of his name throughout history, through his own artistic output and those of his children and students, as the progenitor of American artists working in the European tradition. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z "They Reach an Audience We Do Not:" Labor-Environmental Coalition Building in the United States, 1970-1985 Gibson, Paul Edward http://hdl.handle.net/1903/15791 2014-10-12T02:33:38Z 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z Title: "They Reach an Audience We Do Not:" Labor-Environmental Coalition Building in the United States, 1970-1985 Authors: Gibson, Paul Edward Abstract: This dissertation examines the relationship between organized labor and the mainstream environmental movement in the United States between 1970 and 1985. It explores this relationship through the critical lenses of three issues (economic development, energy, and occupational safety and health), which were central to nearly all interactions between organized labor and environmental organizations in this period. I argue that, contrary to popular belief, the two movements collaborated with one another consistently throughout this period. Their cooperative activity, sustained through considerable effort, was partially responsible for building and maintaining the nation's environmental regulatory framework at the close of the twentieth century. 2014-01-01T00:00:00Z
