The man who wrote the book hailed as the finest account of an enlisted man's war speaks on camera about his harrowing experiences in the South Pacific.
Private Eugene B. Sledge of the 1st Marine Division was at the front lines for two of the bloodiest campaigns in the history of the Corps. He joined the division in the summer of 1944, just in time to land on Peleliu and Okinawa. There, the 20-year-old soldier miraculously survived four months of front-line fighting, most of it conducted within grenade range of the enemy--if not closer. The book he later wrote about his experiences, With the Old Breed at Peleliu and Okinawa, has been hailed as the finest and most harrowing account of an enlisted man's war ever written.
UNSUNG HEROES draws on riveting accounts from the book and in-depth interviews with "Sledgehammer" himself to fashion a moving portrait of the strength, sacrifice, brutality and horror of close-quarter fighting. What emerges is a picture of pure heroism, a willingness to face unimaginable danger and suffering to protect others, as well as a poignant look at the price paid by those who serve.
Though he never won a medal for heroism, it was largely because so few who witnessed his exploits lived to tell about it.

WASHINGTON - The U.S. Housing and Urban Development wants Prince George's County to pay back $1 million that was misspent.
The Washington Post reports that former county housing director James Johnson and former county executive Jack Johnson used HUD money to make deals and then take bribes. In exchange they approved development projects, i ncluding some that didn't meet basic federal standards.
Current housing Director Eric Brown says the county intends to pay the money back.
"We can pay it back in non-federal funds or ask them at some future date to reduce our future grants," Brown says.
Prince George's is also seeking to recoup that $1 million from Kairos Development, the company hired to build affordable housing units in Temple Hills, Md.
It's been over two years since Johnson was arrested for corruption and bribery. He's now serving seven years in prison.

9/15 in Yankee History
1997: Seventh-inning RBI from Paul O'Neill and Bernie Williams carry Andy Pettitteand the Yankees to a 7-6 win over Aaron Sele and the Red Sox.
1985: The Yankees trade minor league pitcher Jim Deshaies and two other minor leaguers to be named later to the Astros for 40-year-old Joe Niekro, reuniting the Niekro brothers as teammates for the first time since 1974 with the Braves.
1978: The Yankees, now 1 1/2 games in front of Boston' open a 3-game series in the Bronx with the Red Sox. Ron Guidry again gives up only 2 Boston hits and wins a 4-0 shutout. Chris Chambliss (below) and Graig Nettles hit successive homers' off Luis Tiant' in the 4-run 4th.
1977: The Yankees purchase Dave Kingman from the Angels. It's Kingman's 4th team this year: he started the season with the Mets' was traded to San Diego in June' and shopped to the Angels for cash on September 6. "King Kong' will hit 4 homers for the Yankees' giving him 26' a since-broken record for most homers in 2 leagues in one season (Deron Johnson hit 20 in 1973).
1961: The Yankees set a new AL record for most homers in a season (222)' as they split a doubleheader in Detroit' winning 11-1 and losing 4-2. Circuit blows by Moose Skowron and Yogi Berra in the opener help Whitey Ford win his 24th and increase New York's homer total to 222 This breaks the old mark set by the 1947 Giants and tied by the 1956 Reds. Cash and Steve Boros homer in the nitecap to back Ron Kline's 7-hitter.
1950: For a ML-record 6th time, Johnny Mize hits 3 HRs in one game' but the Yankees lose 9-7 at Detroit. Mize matches Babe Ruth's mark of doing it in both leagues' but the Bambino only had 2 three-homer games. With the victory' the Tigers recapture first place
from New York.
1937: Two weeks ago' AL President William Harridge upheld Cleveland's protest of the August 6 Yankee win' and the entire game is replayed as the second game of today's doubleheader. The protested game is called a tie with all stats retained except those following the disputed call. The Indians take the regularly scheduled game' 5-4' then lose the replay' 3-1.
1929: The Yankees and Indians trade shutouts' with New York winning the opener' 1-0 behind Tom Zachary (11-0). Zachary allows 4 hits. In the nitecap' Willis Hudlin is even stingier' giving up 3 singles' as Cleveland wins' 10-0. It is Hudlin's 14th win over New York in the past three seasons.
1926: The Yankees beat the Indians 6-4' as Bob Meusel drives home three runs with three sacrifice flies. This ties the ML record set by Harry Steinfeldt in 1909. Bob Shawkey is the winning hurler.
1921: Babe Ruth hits home run no. 55 in New York's 10-6 win over the Browns in the opener of a doubleheader. The Yanks also take game 2' 13-5.

PSEO Enrollment Options
Senate Bill 140 (Post Secondary Option)
The Post-Secondary Enrollment Option Program at Kent State University at East Liverpool and Kent State University at Salem is primarily designed to provide qualified high school students with the opportunity to enhance their high school education with a true college experience. Parents and students considering PSEO course work should meet with their high school guidance office to learn about the program and to discover their school district's policies as they relate to: full-time equivalency with high school and college enrollment, repayment policies in the event of withdrawal, how Kent State University grades are accepted on the high school transcript (weighted or not weighted), scheduling for other high school classes, remaining graduation requirements and if college courses will fulfill those requirements and any other related issues.
High school students may earn both high school and college credit without paying tuition by selecting Option B. Option A allows for the student to pay tuition and earn college credit only. Kent State East Liverpool and Salem welcomes applications from home-schooled students and students attending non-public or private high schools as well.
The PSEO Program is not intended to replace course work available in high school or to provide students with a full-time college course load. The number of credit hours that a PSEO student may register for is left to the discretion of the Kent State East Liverpool and Salem PSEO adviser.
Students selected to enroll at Kent State East Liverpool and Salem under either PSEO option will be considered Kent State University students and are accountable for all policies, rules, procedures and deadlines in effect for students of Kent State University. These include items related to tuition payment, textbooks, advising and registration. Students are expected to be familiar with the information in the Schedule of Classes and Undergraduate Catalog. Students enrolled in the PSEO Program are not eligible to receive financial aid or work on campus.

This stunning prefab in Colina, Chile, is the work of Santiago-based architect Sebastián Irarrázaval. Despite its unique form, it is not meant as a custom design but rather a housing solution that can take shape repeatedly. Constructed of concrete, steel and timber, the 120 square meter structure (1290 sq ft) lives large with a simple geometric that is at ease with the surrounding landscape.
While the sustainability of steel and concrete are debatable, Irarrázaval takes advantage of the inherent benefits of these materials, mainly their thermal attributes. The exterior steel panels create a double facade where sandwiched air is heated and creates a natural draw of ventilation around the structure. The concrete elements work to regulate temperature by moderating swings between heating and cooling. As a complete system, and coupled with expansive adjustable openings, the building self regulates for the thermal comfort of occupants.
Completed in 2006, the La Reserva house is, according to the architect, low-cost housing that "relates to the idea of the container." Its striking steel facade is meant to weather "as a continuation of the building process rather than as a force antagonistic to it" making the material choice a dynamic part of the design.
Although our critical side questions the materials, we can't help but be drawn to this design from one of the world's most exciting new architecture practices.

An entrepreneur, an artist, an adventurer, an outdoorsman, a father, even a historian of sorts - Grand Junction resident Seth Anderson takes all these roles quite seriously, along with a zesty devotion to the Grand Valley's unique beauty.He loves where he is, what he does, and what he stands for - an active Colorado lifestyle based out of Grand Junction, a passion for recreation - now mainly hiking and "scrambling" around the Colorado National Monument, living a creative life (he's a painter, too), and being there for his family. Seth, now 38 years old, is also a huge John Otto fan, admiring Grand Junction's very own historical figure for his love of the Colorado National Monument, as well as his early support for women's suffrage and race equality."He was considered crazy," Seth added. "I appreciate his outspoken nature for what is right, and I share his love for the outdoors."Seth is additionally co-founder of Loki Outerwear, a brand of techy clothing meant to be "the Swiss-army version" of functional outdoor wear. He, along with his brother, Dirk Anderson, designed a variety of Loki styles, starting with its well-known hat - a patented fleece creation that can also be used as a mask or a gaiter. They designed a variety of other products as well, including jackets with handy features such as the Loki Mitt (built-in, waterproof mittens). All Loki products are created to sustain a variety of elements - cold, heat, rain and wind."My brother, Dirk, is 10 years older and he got me backpacking and climbing," Seth said. "Together, when I was 16, we climbed Mount Sneffles in 1991. That day the weather was bitter cold, then it warmed up. It was super hot during the day and on the summit it snowed. I wanted less gear to carry that could do more - vent, be warm, be small."And that's how the concept for Loki was born. Seth and Dirk began with the hat - Dirk wanted a multi-functional option, so Seth started experimenting before he came up with the now patented style in 1997. They called the hat Loki, after the Norse god who was both a trickster and a shape shifter. "It was also a play on words - low key," Dirk said. "We wanted something that was unobtrusively transformational."As the original piece of Loki gear, it's for sale online, through retailers and at their Redlands store.According to Dirk, the Loki concept was "born of our love of the outdoors and doing things together. We come up with a lot of ideas for the products, and have more ideas." However, he said Seth was the true spirit behind Loki Outerwear and it wouldn't exist without his brother's passion for it.While Seth and Dirk remain on the design side of Loki, it's now a partnerships with two other men - Jess Rigg and Rich Houghton - who manage the business side of things. Dirk also works at Grand Junction's St. Mary's Hospital, where he has set up a health care information sharing system to promote better care and cost-savings."We're all good at different things," Seth said.
Besides designing Loki products, the Anderson brothers have a shared interest in standing on mountain peaks - they've summited many Colorado 14ers, and they even climbed Alaska's Denali for Dirk's 40 birthday in 2005."It's one of the best times I've ever had in my life, for sure," Dirk said of the trek. It was on a list of 100 things Dirk wanted to accomplish in his life, and Seth was there to share it."He's my hero," Seth said of Dirk.While Dirk still has big-mountain aspirations, Seth's goals stay a little closer to home - he said he wants to climb the highest 200 peaks in Colorado."You get to see a lot of the state," Seth said. "When you hike up them, they purify you."While the mystique of mountains still excite Seth's adventuresome nature, they're less important to him now. It's more about the people he loves - his family including wife Randi Marsh and their son, four-year-old Asa Anderson. After a well-known avalanche accident on the Grand Mesa in 2010, Seth has had a long road to recovery. But he said he feels pretty good now. The accident - which caused multiple leg breaks and infection - had a positive outcome, too."So many people came to see me (in the hospital)," Seth said. "I had no idea that so many people cared about me."For more information about Loki Outerwear, visit www.lokigear.com or go to the Redlands store, located at 2249 Broadway, Suite 8.

An anonymous reader writes "A Brown University project collected the background information of over 2,000 computer science professors in 51 top universities. The data shows a skew in their doctoral degrees, "Over 20% of professors received their Ph.D. from MIT or Berkeley, while more than half of professors received their Ph.D. from the [top] 10 universities." For those professors, fewer work in theoretical computer science and there is a growing trend of recent hires in systems and applications. The original data is also publicly-editable and available to download."
theodp (442580) writes "'R beats Python!' screams the headline at Prof. Norm Matloff's Mad (Data) Scientist blog. 'R beats Julia! Anyone else wanna challenge R?' Not that he has anything against Python, Matloff adds, but he just doesn't believe that Python or Julia will become 'the new R' anytime soon, or ever. Why? 'R is written by statisticians, for statisticians,' explains Matloff. 'It matters. An Argentinian chef, say, who wants to make Japanese sushi may get all the ingredients right, but likely it just won't work out quite the same. Similarly, a Pythonista could certainly cook up some code for some statistical procedure by reading a statistics book, but it wouldn't be quite same. It would likely be missing some things of interest to the practicing statistician. And R is Statistically Correct.'"
theodp (442580) writes "While they aim to democratize learning, the Massive Open Online Course (MOOC) movement has, for the most part, oddly left K-12 teachers out of the online content creation business. ZDNet's Simon Bisson reports on Office Mix, Microsoft's new PowerPoint plug-in and associated cloud service, which Bisson says makes it easy to create and distribute compelling educational content (screenshots). GeekWire's Frank Catalano also makes an interesting case for why Office Mix's choice of PowerPoint, "the poster child for delivering boring presentations in non-interactive settings," could still be a disrupter in the online content creation space. By the way, MOOC.org, the collaboration of edX and Google which also aims to help "teachers easily build and host courses for the world to take," is slated to go live in the first half of 2014. It'll be interesting to see how MOOC.org's authoring tools differ from Google Research's Course Builder effort."

bauhausinteraction writes "A team from the Bauhaus-University and Native Instruments Developers built and programmed a fully functional interactive Lego Sequencer / Tangible Groove Machine that sends control data to the Maschine drum sequencer to make music. The thing was built within 24 hours as an unofficial weekend collaboration between bauhausinteraction and NI at the MidiHack 2014 in Stockholm. A standard webcam is mounted underneath the baseplate. The image is processed by a Python Script using the OpenCV Library to track the bricks. The tricky bit was to not track the user's hand, but we succeeded at that as well.
The information about brick color, position, and orientation is derived from the image and then converted into OpenSoundControl (OSC) messages. Those are sent over a network connection to a computer running Native Instruments Maschine to play back the sounds. Of course, this would work with other sound generators as well, since the whole thing simply spits out OSC-Messages and MIDI — but hey: if the guys from Native are there, you'd better use their Maschine stuff. Being real Masterbuilders, of course we used only unmodified, standard Lego Parts and no Kragle* for the construction. (*see the Lego Movie for reference.)"

From the article: 'MWoS is a win for all. Students get a chance to work on real-world security projects, under the guidance of an experienced security engineer. Professors get to implement cutting-edge security projects into their programs. Mozilla and the community get better security tools, which that we would not have the resources to build or improve ourselves.'"

An anonymous reader writes "Light Table is a Kickstarted, open source IDE that's been trying to integrate real-time feedback into code creation. Part of their process has been figuring out how to improve the practice of programming, from top to bottom. They've put up a post about the troublesome aspects of programming that we've learned to deal with and take for granted, but which need solving if programming is to be made accessible for more people. 'Surprisingly, one of the most common difficulties we have heard from beginners is just running code. Even if we were to hand [a new programmer the whole source code] they would likely still struggle to actually use it. They have to install dependencies, compile code, start servers and open ports. At each step the errors are difficult to diagnose and time-consuming to fix.' But these problems extend to experienced coders, too: 'The simplest question we could ask about our application is "what is the current state." Bizarrely, very few programming environments give you any help on this front. Many programmers get by with nothing but print statements.' It's interesting to see somebody working on these issues, instead of accepting that they're the status quo and just part of the experience of programming."
An anonymous reader writes "The Last of Us was one of the last major projects for the PlayStation 3. The code optimization done by development studio Naughty Dog was a real technical achievement — making graphics look modern and impressive on a 7-year-old piece of hardware. Now, they're in the process of porting it to the much more capable PS4, which will end up being a technical accomplishment in its own right. Creative director Neil Druckmann said, 'Just getting an image onscreen, even an inferior one with the shadows broken, lighting broken and with it crashing every 30 seconds that took a long time. These engineers are some of the best in the industry and they optimized the game so much for the PS3's SPUs specifically. It was optimized on a binary level, but after shifting those things over [to PS4] you have to go back to the high level, make sure the [game] systems are intact, and optimize it again. I can't describe how difficult a task that is. And once it's running well, you're running the [versions] side by side to make sure you didn't screw something up in the process, like physics being slightly off, which throws the game off, or lighting being shifted and all of a sudden it's a drastically different look. That's not 'improved' any more; that's different. We want to stay faithful while being better.'"
Nemo the Magnificent writes: " Everybody knows software development is a young man's game, right? Here's a guy who hires and manages programmers, and he says it's not about age at all — it's about skills, period. 'It's each individual's responsibility to stay fresh in the field and maintain a modern-day skillset that gives any 28-year-old a run for his or her money. ... Although the ability to learn those skills is usually unlimited, the available time to learn often is not. "Little" things like family dinners, Little League, and home improvement projects often get in the way. As a result, we do find that we face a shortage of older, more seasoned developers. And it's not because we don't want older candidates. It's often because the older candidates haven't successfully modernized their developer skills.' A company that actively works to offer all employees the chance to learn and to engage with modern technologies is a company that good people are going to work for, and to stay at."
davecb (6526) writes "At Guido von Rossum's urging, Mike Bland has a look at detecting and fixing the "goto fail" bug at ACM Queue. He finds the same underlying problem in both in the Apple and Heartbleed bugs, and explains how to not suffer it again." An excerpt: "WHY DIDN'T A TEST CATCH IT? Several articles have attempted to explain why the Apple SSL vulnerability made it past whatever tests, tools, and processes Apple may have had in place, but these explanations are not sound, especially given the above demonstration to the contrary in working code. The ultimate responsibility for the failure to detect this vulnerability prior to release lies not with any individual programmer but with the culture in which the code was produced. Let's review a sample of the most prominent explanations and specify why they fall short. Adam Langley's oft-quoted blog post13 discusses the exact technical ramifications of the bug but pulls back on asserting that automated testing would have caught it: "A test case could have caught this, but it's difficult because it's so deep into the handshake. One needs to write a completely separate TLS stack, with lots of options for sending invalid handshakes.""

reifman (786887) writes "San Francisco's gender imbalance is so bad that a startup recently proposed flying women in from New York City for dates. But, if you're a straight male thinking of moving to Seattle to work in technology, think again. Seattle's gender ratio is even more imbalanced and it's about to get much worse for men. Amazon is building out enough space to employ 5% of the city population and its workforce is 75 percent male. By the end of 2014, Seattle will have 130 single men for every 100 single women."
waderoush (1271548) writes "Don't laugh. As the cost of housing spirals out of control on the San Francisco peninsula, neighboring metro regions like Sacramento are beginning to look more attractive to startup founders who prefer a Northern California lifestyle but haven't worked in the Silicon Valley gold mines long enough to become 1-percenters. Today Xconomy presents Part 1 of a two-part look at innovation in the Sacramento-Davis corridor and efforts to make the region more welcoming to high-tech entrepreneurs. In Sacramento's favor, there's a talented workforce fueled by a top-20 university (UC Davis), space for expansion, proximity to the ski mountains at Tahoe, and a far lower cost of living — the average house in Sacramento is selling for $237,000, compared to $909,000 in San Francisco. The downsides include a shortage of local investment dollars and a lower density of startups, meaning there's less opportunity for serendipitous collaboration. But locals say recent efforts to boost the local high-tech economy are working.

The charity staff have a few computers running Windows 7. Being a die-hard OSS geek I'm more inclined to knock up a MySQL backend with a Django (or similar) front-end and run the whole thing from a reliable VPS. But it needs to be understandable by the non-geeks in the charity — there is no IT expertise here. Is there anything that can allow me to design and edit databases, tables, and forms but doesn't require an MS license?"
itwbennett (1594911) writes "Despite the hot job market and competitive salaries, the share of Computer Science degrees as a percentage of BA degrees has remained essentially unchanged since 1981, according to data from the National Center for Educational Statistics' Digest of Educational Statistics. If history is any indication, it will take a cultural phenomenon to shift the percentage higher: Blogger Phil Johnson point out that there were 'two distinct peaks, one in 1985 (4.4% of U.S. college degrees) and one in 2002 (4.42%). These would represent big increases for the classes entering school in 1981 and 1998 respectively. The former year corresponds to the beginning of computers coming into the home and the release of things like MS-DOS 1.0, all of which may have increased interest in programming. The latter year was during the dot com bubble, which, no doubt, also boosted interest.'"
An anonymous reader writes "There's a blog post floating around right now listing articles every programmer should read. I'm curious what articles, books, etc., Slashdot readers would add to this list. Should The Art of Computer Programming, Design Patterns, or Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs be on the list? What about The Mythical Man-Month, or similar works that are about concepts relating to programming? Is there any code that every programmer should take a look at? Obviously, the nature of this question precludes articles about the nitty-gritty of particular languages, but I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in those, too. So if you can think of a few articles that every C++ programmer (or Perl, or Haskell, or whatever) should know, post those too."
First time accepted submitter Wisecat (3651085) writes "So we all know that computer programming jobs are hot right now. Heck, even President Obama has been urging Americans to learn the skill. But all of us in tech know that not everyone can hack it, and what's more it takes a while to learn anything, and keep up your skills as technology changes. Add to that the fact that companies (and their hiring managers) are always looking for 'the best of the best of the best' talent, and one starts to wonder: just how good does one actually have to BE to get hired? Certainly, there must be plenty of jobs where a level 7/10 programmer would be plenty good enough, and even some that a level 5/10 would be enough. And perhaps we can agree that a level 2/10 would not likely get hired anywhere. So the question is: given that we have such huge demand for programmers, can a level 5, 6, or 7 ever get past the hiring manager? Or is he doomed to sit on the sidelines while the position goes unfilled, or goes to someone willing to lie about their skill level, or perhaps to an H1-B who will work cheaper (but not necessarily better)? I'm a hardware engineer with embedded software experience, and have considered jumping over to pure software (since there are so many jobs, so much demand) but at age 40, and needing to pick a language and get good at it, I wonder whether it would even be possible to get a job (with my previous work experience not being directly related). Thoughts?"
theodp (442580) writes "The NY Times reports that the national educational movement in computer coding instruction is growing at Internet speeds. 'There's never been a move this fast in education,' said Elliot Soloway, a professor of education and computer science at the Univ. of Michigan. But, cautions the NY Times' Matt Richtel, it is not clear that teaching basic computer science in grade school will beget future jobs or foster broader creativity and logical thinking, as some champions of the movement are projecting. And particularly for younger children, the activity is more like a video game — better than simulated gunplay, but not likely to impart actual programming skills. 'Some educators worry about the industry's heavy role,' adds Richtel. 'Major tech companies and their founders, including Bill Gates and Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg, have put up about $10 million for Code.org,' which recently announced its CS programs will be rolled out to more than 2 million students — nearly 5% of all U.S. K-12 students — at 30 school districts this fall. Among the 20,000 teachers who Code.org says have signed on is Alana Aaron, a fifth-grade math and science teacher who, with her principal's permission, swapped a two-month earth sciences lesson she was going to teach on land masses for the Code.org curriculum.

Even if you have to buy the breadboard and the cable, it is comparable in price to an Arduino and much more capable. The Mbed libraries (optional) make it as easy to use a 'duino, too."
An anonymous reader writes "Remember the court battle between Google and Oracle? It's the one where Oracle claimed Android violated Oracle's patents and copyright related to Java. Oracle thought they deserved $6 billion in compensation, but ended up getting nothing. Well, it's still going, and the tide is turning somewhat in Oracle's favor. An appeals court decided that Oracle can claim copyright over some parts of Java. It's a complicated ruling (PDF) — parts of it went Google's way and parts of it went Oracle's way — but here's the most important line: '[T]he declaring code and the structure, sequence, and organization of the 37 Java API packages at issue are entitled to copyright protection.' A jury's earlier finding of infringement has been reinstated, and now it's up to Google to justify its actions under fair use."
jfruh writes: "As GitHub becomes an increasingly common repository of project code, the metadata for projects saved there can tell us a lot about the state of the industry. In particular, a look at the programming languages used over the past half-decade shows an increasingly fragmented landscape, in which the overall share of most major languages is on a slight decline, while less-used languages are seeing modest growth in usage."
An anonymous reader writes "Game studios now seem to be forming a habit out of opening up their debugger / development utilities. After Valve's notable VOGL debugger, Crytek has now decided to open source their Renderdoc debugger. Renderdoc had been available for free use since earlier in the year but now they have posted an MIT-licensed version of the code to GitHub. Renderdoc builds on both Windows and Linux but for now just targets the Direct3D 11 graphics API while OpenGL support is being expected later."
An anonymous reader writes "Patrick Lin of California Polytechnic State University explores one of the ethical problems autonomous car developers are going to have to solve: crash prioritization. He posits this scenario: suppose an autonomous car determines a crash is unavoidable, but has the option of swerving right into a small car with few safety features or swerving left into a heavier car that's more structurally sound. Do the people programming the car have it intentionally crash into the vehicle less likely to crumple? It might make more sense, and lead to fewer fatalities — but it sure wouldn't feel that way to the people in the car that got hit. He says, '[W]hile human drivers may be forgiven for making a poor split-second reaction – for instance, crashing into a Pinto that's prone to explode, instead of a more stable object – robot cars won't enjoy that freedom. Programmers have all the time in the world to get it right. It's the difference between premeditated murder and involuntary manslaughter.' We could somewhat randomize outcomes, but that would lead to generate just as much trouble. Lin adds, 'The larger challenge, though, isn't thinking through ethical dilemmas. It's also about setting accurate expectations with users and the general public who might find themselves surprised in bad ways by autonomous cars. Whatever answer to an ethical dilemma the car industry might lean towards will not be satisfying to everyone.'"
Nerval's Lobster writes: "Dice [note: our corporate overlord] collects a ton of data from job postings. Its latest findings? The number of jobs posted for NoSQL experts has risen 54 percent year-over-year, ahead of postings for professionals skilled in so-called 'Big Data' (up 46 percent), Apache Hadoop (43 percent), and Python (16 percent). Employers are also seeking those with expertise in Software-as-a-Service platforms, to the tune of 20 percent more job postings over the past twelve months; in a similar vein, postings for tech professionals with some cloud experience have leapt 27 percent in the same period. Nothing earth-shattering here, but it's perhaps interesting to note that, for all the hype surrounding some of these things, there's actually significant demand behind them."
An anonymous reader writes "I've been teaching myself to code recently. I've made good progress so far, and I've written a bunch of little scripts to make my life easier. Here's the problem: most project ideas I come up with now either seem pretty easy or pretty impossible. I'm having trouble thinking of a project that'll stretch my skills without overloading them. I've tried finding open source projects to read through, but I run into the same thing: either it's straight-forward, or it requires reading a half-dozen dependencies, each of which has dependencies of their own. Anyone have suggestions on some intermediate-skill projects to undertake? Or some project files in an online repo that go beyond the basics without getting overwhelming? My language of choice is Python, but other languages are welcome."

Frankly I'm damn excited about it, more so than for any job in my career. However, I'm worried about what could euphemistically be called 'cultural' issues. I'm a few years over 40, with a wife and kids, and all of the engineers at the company seem to be at least 10 years younger than I am. Being at the company's office gives me a distinct old guy at the club feeling. I don't think the overall number of hours the team works is more than I could handle, but the team does a lot of young-single-guy-at-a-startup group activities (rent-a-limo-and-go-clubbing night, weekends in Tahoe, Burning Man, in-office happy hour) that I wouldn't want or be able to participate in; I need to be home with my family for dinner most nights and weekends and so on.

One wonders how the Broward teachers feel about Code.org apparently coughing up $38.33-an-hour for Chicago teachers who attend the required Code.org professional development, which ironically covers equity issues. Duncan's shout-out comes days after Code.org claimed in its Senate testimony that 'our students have voted with their actions [participating in an hour-long, Angry Birds-themed Blockly tutorial starring Mark Zuckerberg and Bill Gates]: that learning computer science is this generation's Sputnik moment, that it's part of the new American Dream, and that it should be available to every student, in every school, as part of the standard curriculum.'"

Allardice writes, 'And when you were finished handwriting a section of code — perhaps a full program, perhaps a subroutine — you'd gather these sheets together (carefully numbered in sequence, of course) and send them along to the folks in the data entry department. They'd type it in. And the next day you'd get a report to find out if it compiled or not. Let me say that again: the next day you could find out if your code compiled or not.' So, does anyone have 'fond' memories of computer programming in the punched card era? And for you young'uns, what do you suppose your C++ or Java development times would be like if you got one compile a day?" The other way you could program in 1983.

I teach a second programming course in C++ with a heavy emphasis on the STL (containers and generic algorithms). I just wondered what people think about the situation today. Personally, I think C++11 has cleaned up a lot of problems, making it easier to use, but given all those who work with C++ for a living, I wondered what they thought today compared to then.

An anonymous reader writes "Those of us who spend our days sitting in front of a screen trying to make computers do our bidding know how difficult programming can be. But from an outside perspective, there's not much to indicate difficulty. Most of us have heard somebody compare our job to digging ditches, or some other manual labor, meant to contrast easy (sitting around and typing) versus hard (muscle-wearying work). Now, Peter Welch has written an amusing essay to help combat that point of view, titled Programming Sucks. He compares bridge building to a big software project. Here's a small part of it:
'You start by meeting Mary, project leader for a bridge in a major metropolitan area. Mary introduces you to Fred, after you get through the fifteen security checks installed by Dave because Dave had his sweater stolen off his desk once and Never Again. Fred only works with wood, so you ask why he's involved because this bridge is supposed to allow rush-hour traffic full of cars full of mortal humans to cross a 200-foot drop over rapids. Don't worry, says Mary, Fred's going to handle the walkways. What walkways? Well Fred made a good case for walkways and they're going to add to the bridge's appeal. Of course, they'll have to be built without railings, because there's a strict no railings rule enforced by Phil, who's not an engineer. ... Would you drive across this bridge? No. If it somehow got built, everybody involved would be executed. Yet some version of this dynamic wrote every single program you have ever used, banking software, websites, and a ubiquitously used program that was supposed to protect information on the internet but didn't.' Welch goes on to gripe about all the ways in which programming is almost awesome, but ends up being annoying."

New submitter kyrsjo (2420192) writes "The Economist has an article on how information technology — the real stuff, not just button-pushing — is making its way back to schools across the world. As the article argues: 'Digital technology is now so ubiquitous that many think a rounded education requires a grounding in this subject just as much as in biology, chemistry or physics.' In today's society, teaching computer science in schools is absolutely necessary, and that means getting a real understanding of computers and how they work. That requires working with algorithms and programming, not just learning which buttons to push in the program that the school happened to use."
CowboyRobot (671517) writes "Erik Meijer, known for his contributions to Haskell, C#, Visual Basic, Hack, and LINQ, has an article at the ACM in which he argues that 'Mostly functional' programming does not work. 'The idea of "mostly functional programming" is unfeasible. It is impossible to make imperative programming languages safer by only partially removing implicit side effects. Leaving one kind of effect is often enough to simulate the very effect you just tried to remove. On the other hand, allowing effects to be "forgotten" in a pure language also causes mayhem in its own way. Unfortunately, there is no golden middle, and we are faced with a classic dichotomy: the curse of the excluded middle, which presents the choice of either (a) trying to tame effects using purity annotations, yet fully embracing the fact that your code is still fundamentally effectful; or (b) fully embracing purity by making all effects explicit in the type system and being pragmatic by introducing nonfunctions such as unsafePerformIO. The examples shown here are meant to convince language designers and developers to jump through the mirror and start looking more seriously at fundamentalist functional programming.'"
peetm (781139) writes "Having visited with me and my wife recently, the girlfriend of an ex-student of mine (now taking an M.Sc. in pure CS) asked me to suggest useful books for her boyfriend: '... He recently mentioned that he would love to have a home library, like the one you have, with variety of good, useful and must-have books from different authors. ... Mostly, I was thinking your advice would be priceless when it comes to computer science related books, but .. I would appreciate any sort of advice on books from you. ...' Whilst I could scan my own library for ideas, I doubt that I'm really that 'current' with what's good, or whether my favorites would be appropriate: I've not taught on the M.Sc. course for a while, and in some cases, and just given their price, I shouldn't really recommend such books that are just pet loves of mine — especially to someone who doesn't know whether they'd even be useful.
And, before you ask: YES, we do have a reading list, but given that he'll receive this as part of this course requirement anyway, I'd like to tease readers to suggest good reads around the periphery of the subject." I'll throw out Pierce's Types and Programming Languages (and probably Advanced Topics in Types and Programming Languages ), and Okasaki's Purely Functional Data Structures .
wiredmikey (1824622) writes "Technology giants including Microsoft, Google, Intel, and Cisco are banding together to support and fund open source projects that make up critical elements of global information infrastructure. The new Core Infrastructure Initiative brings technology companies together to identify and fund open source projects that are widely used in core computing and Internet functions, The Linux Foundation announced today. Formed primarily as the industry's response to the Heartbleed crisis, the OpenSSL library will be the initiative's first project. Other open source projects will follow. The funds will be administered by the Linux Foundation and a steering group comprised of the founding members, key open source developers, and other industry stakeholders. Anyone interested in joining the initiative, or donating to the fund can visit the Core Infrastructure Initiative site."
An anonymous reader writes "Andrew Kelley was a big fan of the Amarok open source music player. But a few years ago, its shortcomings were becoming more annoying and the software's development path no longer matched with the new features he wanted. So he did what any enterprising hacker would do: he started work on a replacement. Three and a half years later, his project, Groove Basin, has evolved into a solid music player, and it's still under active development. Kelley has now posted a write-up of his development process, talking about what problems he encountered, how he solved them, and how he ended up contributing code to libav."
Nerval's Lobster (2598977) writes "Last month, a report suggested that Austin has the highest salaries for tech workers (after factoring in the cost of living), followed by Atlanta, Denver, Boston, and Silicon Valley. Now, a new report (yes, from Dice, because it gathers this sort of data from tech workers) suggests that more tech people are earning six figures a year than ever. Some 32 percent of full-time tech pros took home more than $100,000 in 2013, according to the findings, up from 30 percent in 2012 and 26 percent in 2011. For contractors, the data is even better: In 2013, a staggering 54 percent of them earned more than $100,000 a year, up from 51 percent the previous year and 50 percent in 2011. How far that money goes depends on where you live, of course, but it does seem like a growing number of the world's tech workers are earning a significant amount of cash."
In N+1 magazine, David Auerbach explains what it was like in the "Chat Wars" of the late '90s, when he was the youngest person on the team developing Microsoft's brand-new messaging app, in the face of America Online's AIM, the 900-pound gorilla in the room. Auerbach explains how he used a network analyzer to fake out AOL's servers into letting Microsoft's client connect to AIM as well. "AOL could only block Messenger if they could figure out that the user was using Messenger and not AIM. As long as Messenger sent exactly the same protocol messages to the AOL servers, AOL wouldn't be able to detect that Messenger was an impostor. So I took the AIM client and checked for differences in what it was sending, then changed our client to mimic it once again. They'd switch it up again; they knew their client, and they knew what it was coded to do and what obscure messages it would respond to in what ways. Every day it'd be something new. At one point they threw in a new protocol wrinkle but cleverly excepted users logging on from Microsoft headquarters, so that while all other Messenger users were getting an error message, we were sitting at Microsoft and not getting it. After an hour or two of scratching our heads, we figured it out." Eventually, though, AOL introduced x86 assembly code into the login protocol, and that not only stymied the MSM team, but led to some interesting warfare of its own. Auerbach's story sheds a lot of light on both good and bad aspects of corporate culture at the start of the 21st century, at Microsoft as well as other companies.
An anonymous reader writes "As some of you may know, the OpenBSD team has started cleaning up the OpenSSL code base. LibreSSL is primarily developed by the OpenBSD Project, and its first inclusion into an operating system will be in OpenBSD 5.6. In the wake of Heartbleed, the OpenBSD group is creating a simpler, cleaner version of the dominant OpenSSL. Theo de Raadt, founder and leader of OpenBSD and OpenSSH, tells ZDNet that the project has already removed 90,000 lines of C code and 150,000 lines of content. The project further promises multi-OS support once they have proper funding and the right portability team in place. Please consider donating to support LibreSSL via the OpenBSD foundation."
snydeq (1272828) writes "As software takes over more of our lives, the ethical ramifications of decisions made by programmers only become greater. Unfortunately, the tech world has always been long on power and short on thinking about the long-reaching effects of this power. More troubling: While ethics courses have become a staple of physical-world engineering degrees, they remain a begrudging anomaly in computer science pedagogy. Now that our code is in refrigerators, thermostats, smoke alarms, and more, the wrong moves, a lack of foresight, or downright dubious decision-making can haunt humanity everywhere it goes. Peter Wayner offers a look at just a few of the ethical quandaries confronting developers every day. 'Consider this less of a guidebook for making your decisions and more of a starting point for the kind of ethical contemplation we should be doing as a daily part of our jobs.'"
New submitter CrAlt (3208) writes with this news snipped from BSD news stalwart undeadly.org: "After the news of heartbleed broke early last week, the OpenBSD team dove in and started axing it up into shape. Leading this effort are Ted Unangst (tedu@) and Miod Vallat (miod@), who are head-to-head on a pure commit count basis with both having around 50 commits in this part of the tree in the week since Ted's first commit in this area. They are followed closely by Joel Sing (jsing@) who is systematically going through every nook and cranny and applying some basic KNF. Next in line are Theo de Raadt (deraadt@) and Bob Beck (beck@) who've been both doing a lot of cleanup, ripping out weird layers of abstraction for standard system or library calls. ... All combined, there've been over 250 commits cleaning up OpenSSL. In one week.'" You can check out the stats, in progress.
CowboyRobot sends in an article about how Samsung's constantly shifting plans for its smartwatches are making it hard for developers to commit to building apps. Quoting: "Samsung's first smartwatch, released in October last year, ran a modified version of Google's Android platform. The device had access to about 80 apps at launch, all of which were managed by a central smartphone app. Samsung offered developers an SDK for the Galaxy Gear so they could create more apps. Developers obliged. Then Samsung changed direction. Samsung announced a new series of smartwatches in February: the Gear 2, Gear 2 Neo, and Gear Fit. Unlike the first device, these three run Samsung's Tizen platform. ... This week, Samsung made things even more interesting. Speaking to Reuters, Yoon Han-kil, senior vice president of Samsung's product strategy team, said the company is working on a watch that will use Google's Android Wear platform. In other words, Samsung will bring three different watches to market with three different operating systems in under a year."
itwbennett (1594911) writes "Oracle is gearing up for a fight with officials in Oregon over its role developing an expensive health insurance exchange website that still isn't fully operational. In a letter obtained by the Oregonian newspaper this week, Oracle co-president Safra Catz said that Oregon officials have provided the public with a 'false narrative' concerning who is to blame for Cover Oregon's woes. In the letter, Catz pointed out that Oregon's decision to act as their own systems integrator on the project, using Oracle consultants on a time-and-materials basis, was 'criticized frequently by many'. And as far as Oracle is concerned, 'Cover Oregon lacked the skills, knowledge or ability to be successful as the systems integrator on an undertaking of this scope and complexity,' she added."

Kids using the iPad
Be the cool parent and say 'yes'.
Manufacturers have been making electronic devices for kids that are about the size and shape of an iPad since the digitally prehistoric days that saw the introduction of products like "Talk 'n Type" and "See 'n Spell" toys.
With the huge variety of educational apps available today, those early efforts at digital learning devices are now fairly outmoded. Kids using the iPad can accomplish a lot more in a far more efficient and engaging manner. Given this truth, there's really only one answer to the question of should kids use iPads – yes!
We do understand; however, the reluctance of parents when they consider the money they have invested in their devices. Kids can be pretty tough on electronics. And, that's where a dirt proof, shockproof and waterproof iPhone or iPad case begins to demonstrate its real value.
With a LifeProof case, not only can you take your iPad out in the rain, under the ocean, and over rough wilderness trails, it can be used in the harshest environment of them all: the hands of a child.
If you do a little online research, you quickly discover that educators are coming up with great ways to take advantage of iPads and many of these are ideal for use in the home. And, once your device is protected by a LifeProof iPad case, you can know that after your children are done using it, it will be in perfect condition and ready to run your apps.
So, should kids use iPads? The answer is obviously a resounding "yes" but not just because of their educational applications. An iPad probably packs in more entertainment value per square inch than any other invention known to man. Two or three kids in the back seat on a long road trip are a formula for disaster. Two or three kids in the back seat with an iPad can be road trip bliss for the adults up front.
Of course, we know that even with the most well behaved kids, there's always some good-natured jostling going on in the back seat. You definitely want the shockproof protection of a LifeProof case when you hand your device over to your younger passengers. And, after a stop at the Quickie Mart for a Mega-Gulp, you'll be glad you have a waterproof iPhone or iPad case.
Time for some schooling:
• iPads are excellent educational and entertainment devices for kids
• Kids can be very rough on electronics
• A LifeProof case KidProofs your iPad and lets you relax

text: With an official ceremony Saturday. April 29, 2006, including a ribbon-cutting by head men's lacrosse coach John Raba, Wesleyan opened its new artificial turf field. Then on Saturday, October 21, 2006 during Wesleyan's Homecoming/Family Weekend festivities, the field received its name - Smith Field, in honor of major benefactor Warren "Renney" Smith '78 and his wife, Tiina. Located in the Long Lane property acquired by Wesleyan from the State of Connecticut several years earlier, the turf field had been under construction since the fall of 2005, and made its varsity debut when the field hockey team hosted Babson College Thursday, Sept. 14, 2006. The turf field is lined for lacrosse, field hockey and soccer and is used mainly for women's lacrosse during the spring and field hockey during the fall. Men's lacrosse also plays a number of its early-season games on the turf and both soccer teams have occasion to play on the turf during inclement weather situations. According to Director of Athletics John Biddiscombe, there had been an increasing trend toward the use of synthetic turf fields among schools in northern climates over the last decade. Wesleyan had traveled to Springfield College, Trinity College, Connecticut College and West Haven High School before the completion of Smith Field for "home" games during the spring and fall due to unplayable conditions on Wesleyan's grass fields. Currently all NESCAC colleges have at least one turf field and some are outfitted with multiple synthetic playing fields. "I think [the new synthetic turf field] will be a big help because we will finally have Wesleyan turf as our turf field instead of playing at Trinity," said Fiona Lundy '08, who was a member of the women's lacrosse team. "It will be great to play here and get more fans out." The synthetic turf field allows Wesleyan's varsity teams to practice and play when the grass fields are unplayable. Although it will be geared toward field hockey and lacrosse teams, numerous other varsity and recreational sport teams will have opportunity to use the new field. Planning for the new field began around 2004. The project was completely funded by gifts from alumni, parents and friends of Wesleyan athletics. Over $1 million had been raised at the time of completion with another $300,000 later raised to support lights, bleachers, a scoreboard and protective netting. While Coach Raba, representing the athletic department, got to do the honors with the scissors April 29, individuals representing the administration, parents, alumni and student-athletes all gathered for the official ceremony, which featured short speeches from Biddiscombe ; Alumni Director John Driscoll ; Preston Smith '64, father of men's lacrosse player Matt Smith '06, who helped spearhead the project with other parents and alumni ; and Raba. A tasty barbeque followed the speeches. The naming ceremony preceded Wesleyan's field hockey game vs. Amherst and was attended by Renny and Tiina Smith and their three children.

Guide to the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of conditions from A to Z.
Skin cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the skin cells. According to the latest statistics available from the American Cancer Society and the CDC:
In the U.S. alone, more than 2 million Americans will be diagnosed in 2013 with nonmelanoma skin cancer, and about 76,690 will be diagnosed with melanoma.
Although exposure to the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays is said to be the most important factor in the cause of skin cancers, only a little over half of American adults use sun-protection measures.
Most skin cancers appear in older people, but skin damage from the sun begins at an early age. Therefore, protection should start in childhood to prevent skin cancer later in life.
In addition, consider the following statistics from the American Cancer Society and the American Academy of Dermatology:
Basal cell carcinoma is the most common form of cancer worldwide.
Melanoma incidence rates are 10 times higher for whites than for African-Americans. People with dark-pigmented skin can develop melanoma, particularly on the palms of the hands, on the soles of the feet, under the nails, and inside the mouth.
Melanoma accounts for less than 5 percent of all skin cancer cases, but the vast majority of skin cancer deaths.

Jets fall short of Heritage, 20-13
In spite of Adams Central's 20-13 homecoming loss to Heritage on Friday night, Jets' head coach Mike Mosser had nothing but praise for the rejuvenated effort his Jets put into their effort to try to bring down a strong Heritage team.
"We saw something tonight that I've wanted to see," said Mosser. "This is a big moment for us. We played with so much heart. I talked 'vision' with the guys all night. I told them that we have to stay positive in all things. We played for the win in this game.
"I'm really proud of the fellows," continued Mosser. "We took the ball right at them. We didn't quit."
The game got off to a wild and wooly start early when the Jets muffed a Patriot p...
