Spring 2007 FEATURES Special Topic: Lesson Plan of the Year winners Special Topic: Katrina's Classroom Special Topic: Professional Development Workshops DEPARTMENTS |
Katrina's Classroom: Financial lessons from a hurricane
Imagine being a teenager: The school year is about to begin, and you're looking forward to getting together with friends you didn't see over the summer. Then Hurricane Katrina strikes the Gulf Coast, and nothing is the same. After evacuating, your family eventually returns home, hoping to make a fresh start.
To capture the challenges families faced before, during, and after Hurricane Katrina, the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta has produced Katrina's Classroom, a program that presents the hurricane experience through the eyes of three teenagers and their families as they tell their stories.
A DVD shows the financial challenges and lessons learned when these teens evacuated their homes. The DVD, accompanied by a curriculum with standards-based lesson plans, helps teach key concepts in emergency financial preparedness, which is important to all students and their families.
Keeping track of financial documents and having access to money
In the first story, "In the Aftermath," Nick, a high school junior, evacuated with his extended family to Atlanta, taking with them all the important documents they would need to help them start on the road to recovery. Nick's family had access to their money throughout the ordeal because of their banking relationships. When they returned home, reestablishing their base was not easy, and life was different but, as Nick says in the video, he was happy to be back in New Orleans.
Emergency savings and using credit wisely
Fourteen-year-old middle schooler Jacquelyn had nine feet of water in her house in Biloxi, Miss. Her prized doll collection was lost in the storm. Her clothes were gone. Jacquelyn and her family evacuated to Starkville, Miss., where her family had to use credit cards for food and all their necessities while her stepdad rebuilt their severely damaged home.
Starting fresh, her family returned to Biloxi, Jacquelyn started back to school, and she looked forward to participating in her school's traditional Beauty and Beau pageant. Jacquelyn's story, "A Fresh Start," shows the financial challenges her family faced, including learning the importance of having a significant rainy day emergency fund.
Budgeting and ensuring future income through education
Jaime was looking forward to her senior year in high school. She worked the prior summer, saved her money, and budgeted to buy new clothes for college. When Hurricane Katrina hit, Jaime and her family evacuated to Houston, Texas. Jaime made a point to take with her the clothes she had just purchased.
Less than a year later, Jaime is a freshman at Xavier University in New Orleans. As a result of her hurricane experiences, she is armed with the lessons she learned. In "Back to School," Jaime balances her checkbook and uses her ATM card wisely as she budgets for her college expenses. She takes nothing for granted.
To order the free DVD and curriculum package, see the related link. And check out our calendar of events to learn about presentations at forthcoming teacher workshops on how to use the package in the classroom.

Samsung just made its own version of Gangnam Style for the Galaxy S4 [Video]
Posted By Enrique Manalang On April 30, 2013 @ 1:26 PM In Android | 3 Comments
If you were lucky (or unlucky) enough to catch Samsung's Galaxy S4 unveiling, you might think that smartphone launches couldn't get any weirder. But let me tell you know that you are very, very wrong.
Samsung's launch party in India for the Galaxy S4 featured one of the strangest things I've seen in the tech industry to date — it handily tops BlackBerry's bizarre music video [2]. Meet Samsung Style: the company's own rendition of the popular Gangnam Style, designed to promote the Galaxy S4. The lyrics have been swapped out for specs like 441 ppi and 13-megapixel camera. See the craziness for yourself below (note: the video is not safe-ish for work):
I know Samsung is known to spend billions of dollars on marketing, but maybe they could spend it a little better? Although I guess this worked for them; the video for this little number has been making the rounds on the internet.
What do you think of Samsung Style? Let us know in the comments! [3]

Reflections from Bob Hopkins Jul 19, 2000
[ Return to Oral History index ]
Henry Strothman is in the medley relay in the sky with his good buddy Clarence Ross , both from the Montclair YMCA in Montclair, NJ. Henry died several years ago but I remember him from my noontime swims at the Montclair Y in the late 70's when he would race me (and beat me, despite being 40 years older than me) in the breast stroke. He was a rotund man who played water polo for Germany (Olympics??) and was a regular at the Y and also at Masters meets where his wife would sit in the stands and cheer for him. I remember him holding a medal high over his head after picking it up to show his wife (I think it was a meet at Rutgers) the rewards of his efforts. It was memorable (obviously) to see the childlike excitment of an 80 year old (or so) in winning a medal and sharing the excitment with his loved one.
I also remember his friend Clarence Ross ( decked out in his white warmups with all his patches on it) who was a little older than Henry as I recall. In one of my first (or maybe my first) Masters meets in 1978 or so, I took my 9 year old son to the meet at Westfield Y with me and as we walked in the pool area, an old guy was doing backstroke in the outside lane and a number of people with cameras were walking along side him as he swam taking his picture. It turned out to be Clarence who was in the process of breaking the National (or World ?) record for the 50 or 100 yard backstroke. Later in the meet as I prepared to swim an event, I looked over and saw my son ( a 9/10 age group swimmer) talking to Clarence and it was then that I realized that there were no generation gaps amongst competitive swimmers, the 9 year old and the 90 year old were doing the same thing and could share the experience.
Now as a 57 year old Masters swimmer, I share the same experience with my 30 year old (30-34 year old Masters swimmer) son.
Bob Hopkins , 11/25/99

What is "Hypersexual Disorder"?
The American Psychiatric Association (APA), recognizing the increasing public and clinical acceptance of the concept of sexual addiction, has requested and received extensive Tier 1, peer reviewed research data, along with an exhaustive literature review (Shout out to Dr. Marty Kafka of Harvard!) toward its consideration of a potential DSM-5 Hypsersexuality Disorder diagnosis.
While "Hypersexual Disorder" may not be the ideal term for a problem that more accurately involves the lengthy search and pursuit of sexual and romantic intensity rather than just the sex act itself, the proposed criteria as written do point to problem patterns of excessive fantasy and urges that mirror most aspects of what we have come to know more commonly as "sexual addiction."
The proposed criteria for Hypersexual Disorder for the DSM-5 read as follows:
Thus, hypersexuality is conceptualized as a non-paraphilic sexual desire disorder with an impulsivity component. The proposed behavior specifiers are intended to integrate empirically based contributions from numerous perspectives, including dysregulation of sexual arousal and desire, sexual impulsivity, sexual addiction, and sexual compulsivity.[1]
Will the APA Add Hypersexual Disorder to the DSM-5?
Documented evidence increasingly points toward Hypersexuality Disorder/sexual addiction being a legitimate, serious, and not uncommon clinical condition associated with the related concerns of disease transmission, family and relationship dysfunction, separation, divorce, anxiety, unplanned pregnancy, mood disorders, job loss, and even suicide. Therefore it makes sense that a diagnosis should be imminent and forthcoming.
Yet despite the escalating numbers of men and women now seeking both clinical and self-help support in an effort to alter self-reported patterns of out-of-control sexual behavior, it seems unlikely that the DSM-5 Workgroup of Sexual and Gender Identity Disorders will include Hypersexual Disorder as a distinct diagnostic category in the upcoming DSM-5.
As evidenced by the 2010 reduction of previously available research funding on this topic, the APA currently appears to lack the political will to push forward a definitive diagnosis of addictive sexual behavior. And, to be fair, it must also be acknowledged that the current research literature on hypersexuality/sexual addiction is absent of the standards currently utilized to identify an addictive disorder, as peer reviewed, validated research is still lacking in the areas of tolerance and withdrawal – both of which are required to meet all the necessary criteria toward an addictive disorder diagnosis.
If Not Now, Then What?
A current review of Hypersexual Disorder research, along with documented evidence offered by treatment providers, demonstrates that the number of researched and reported cases of sexual addiction (as outlined above in the suggested DSM-5 definition), now greatly exceeds the number of researched and reported cases of several other sexual disorders already classified as DSM diagnoses, such as fetishism and frotteurism.
These other disorders, placed in the DSM when standards for inclusion were slightly looser, seem to be grandfathered in, for lack of a better term. That is not to say these aren't legitimate diagnoses, just that hypersexuality as a diagnosis is being held to a higher standard than its sexual disorder predecessors.
Today it seems most likely that the proposed Hypersexual Disorder diagnosis will be placed in the DSM's appendix under "potential diagnoses requiring further research." And while this action feels a bit like "too little, too late" to provide guidance for those treatment providers whose clients are seeking help now, it is nevertheless meaningful, as being a documented "potential diagnosis" in the DSM 5 appendix will bring both intensified research and a likely increase in much needed research funding.
Why Do We Need a Formal Diagnosis?
What a DSM diagnosis would do is help clinicians to clearly identify individuals who struggle with compulsive, addictive, and impulsive sexual disorders, diagnose them properly, and direct them toward useful, accurately planned models of treatment. Furthermore, adding Hypersexual Disorder to the DSM-5 would go a long way toward removing the same kinds of moral stigma previously applied to alcoholics, drug addicts, and compulsive gamblers before those concerns were fully recognized as treatable addictions and legitimate disorders.
Let us not forget that prior to proper diagnosis and treatment planning, alcoholics were simply bums, overeaters were fat and lazy, and compulsive gamblers were too sociopathic to not gamble away the family rent.
It should be noted that the proposed Hypersexual Disorder diagnosis, were it included in the DSM-5, would neither add to our nation's tax burden nor raise health insurance rates, as most mental health coverage already excludes psychological treatment for sexual issues. Nor would the diagnosis "take off the hook" or give "excuses for bad behavior" to those men and women whose sexual activities have caused harm to self, loved ones, and family. Hypersexuality as a diagnostic criteria also will not and was never intended to provide sexual offenders an easy way out of the consequences (legal and otherwise) for their non-consensual, violating sexual patterns.
Whether we call it Hypersexual Disorder or sexual addiction, the problem itself has never been an excuse for bad behavior, nor is it a fun pastime. Sexual addicts are absolutely responsible for the hurt and loss left in the wake of their sexual acting out, but their addiction does not make them bad or unworthy people. With a diagnosis, we will have a useful retort to those emotionally and psychologically damaging terms such as nympho, slut, and pervert, replacing them with a legitimate, informed diagnostic category from which useful treatment planning and outcome studies can then be drawn.

Why five-year FIA reset products are dumb and dumber right now
By Kevin Startt
Startt Planning!
It's an excellent time right now to encourage caution, communicate with clients and go over the reasons why their stock- or bond-linked indexed annuities are up and why the commodity-driven indexed product is way down.
The toughest job in the world has got to be selling door bells and doors door-to-door. Can you imagine ringing the door bell at each house in the neighborhood and asking, "Can I interest you in a door or bell?" and realizing that, shoot, they already have one?
That's kind of the way one feels when they realize that Einstein's definition of insanity holds true with anyone considering an uncapped five-year FIA reset product today. Insanity is defined as doing the same thing over and over. Investors are, again, not learning, and they're making the same mistakes. Another five-year uncapped product was released recently with a spread that was greater than the illustrated returns. If the indexed annuity ever wants to achieve the success of the mutual fund industry in the 1980s and 1990s and exchange traded funds in the 2000s, distributors must realize that the typical fund investor or even variable annuity investor will not pay more in annual spreads than the product has yielded.
Secondly, they will probably not do that with interest rates at all-time lows and with the Dow at an all-time high, even with 10 percent annual liquidity. The contrarian argument might be that the market has been up better than 60 percent of the time over a five-year period, but savers and investors remember that the last two downturns occurred in their lifetime and are part of the 40 percent of time the market was down over a five-year period. Or do they? Certainly, recent equity fund flows are showing a great rotation from risk off to risk on, but whether they show a long-term trend or not will be confirmed in the spring when previous rallies have gone off track. The smart money is exiting the market, including the revelation recently that many hedge funds and private equity funds are bailing as they recognize one of two facts: 1) The unprecedented government intervention is making the late FDR and John Maynard Keynes blush and will result in higher inflation, and 2) interest rates are crushing stocks.
Right now, the QE2 is on steroids, feeding $82 billion in Treasury purchases by the Fed each month, releasing the power for businesses and individuals to spend or invest, and no one is responding. The above institutions and company insiders are hoarding cash or paying out dividends, rather than adding jobs and investing. The disconnect between the economy, wage growth and the stock market is unprecedented and a facade. The Fed is forcing individuals into taking more risk in stocks and alternatives. So, the question remains: Why not buy a good, uncapped five-year point-to-point indexed annuity with a generous income rider? Here are the reasons, beside the facts that individual investors are lagging indicators of market performance and the market is not cheap by historical standards:
1. 2000 or 2009 would have been the time to pioneer these products, yet the annuity industry is notorious for creating products based on past performance. How many VAs or FIAs contained a commodity or real estate option in 2000 at the outset of a raging 12-year bull market for commodities? The answer is three out of 60 sponsors.
2. The market, as measured by the S&P 500, is near an all-time high, and history teaches us about sequence risk and buying high, selling low and losing money. Most investors are still upside down in their variable annuities, according to Morningstar, and are holding out for the death benefit. This is my favorite oxymoron for a product that is supposed to provide a lifetime of safe income, not help one die with dignity and dispose of wealth to the kids. 3. Stocks are selling at a PE multiple of 15.8 based on this year's earnings and have not gotten back to their inflation adjusted levels since 2000. The media pundits like to point out we are hitting all-time highs, but when inflation is considered, we are nowhere near an all-time high when inflation's bite is considered. It took investors during the Great Depression of the 1930s until 1954 to break even on price and until the 1990s when taxes and inflation are considered. Most folks don't have 60 years to break even, unless you're 115-year-old Misao Okawa in Japan and can afford to sit out a massive rebound.
A great number of suckers involved the indexed annuity's most popular product this past year that is down 12 percent in its first year and requires greater than a 15 percent return net of fees to break even. The sad part of the equation is that this indexed product is being used as a core holding in a clients' safe money portfolio to replace CD money, rather than as a supplement to improve diversification in a laddered-income annuity portfolio.
With a multiple of 15.8, the market has only performed at a 6 percent average annual return in the subsequent 10-year party. Put the confetti away, as the party has been crashed already.
4. Smart Money advocates who have been very accurate in past downturns are turning the alarm sirens on with a vengeance, like Nouriel Roubini, who sees an increased risk of economic civil war in Europe between rich Northern European countries like German and the austere, entitlement-ridden southern countries like Greece and Spain.
So in conclusion, the opportunities for indexed annuities and income riders is bright, but with the market at an all-time high in nominal terms, keeping maturities short and expectations modest should rule an advisor's plans as their ladder or bucket annuities, regardless of whether they are variable or fixed.
It's an excellent time right now to encourage caution, communicate with clients and go over the reasons why their stock- or bond-linked indexed annuities are up and why the commodity-driven indexed product is way down. The seesaw is working, but clients will always pay attention to the down side of the saw and what they see on their statements. Be proactive in your reviews, and keep it short, simple, safe and stable.

CHINESE TURKESTAN vi. Iranian Groups in Sinkiang since the 1750s
Kim Ho-Dong
Between the late 17th and 19th centuries many Iranian-speaking peoples from Šeḡnān (Shughnan) and Wāḵān (Wakhan) migrated to the region of the eastern Pamirs around Lake Zorkul, and mingled with the nomadic groups of Iranian descent already established there.
CHINESE TURKESTAN vii. Manicheism in Chinese Turkestan and China
Samuel Lieu
Manicheism was probably introduced into Inner Asia by Sogdian (Hu) merchants, though the process of its diffusion there is entirely obscure.
CHINESE TURKESTAN viii. Turkish-Iranian Language Contacts
Gerhard Doerfer
Contacts between the Iranian peoples and the Turks occurred at least as early as 552 C.E., when the Turks spread from their northern settlements and established an empire extending from the Greater Khingan mountains to the Aral Sea and Sogdians farther west.
Multiple Authors
This series of articles deals with Chinese-Iranian relations spanning from Pre-Islamic times to the Constitutional Revolution in Iran.
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS i. In Pre-Islamic Times
Edwin G. Pulleyblank
Contact between China and Iran was initiated toward the end of the 2nd century B.C.E. by the envoy Chang Ch'ien (Zhang Qian), who searched for the Yüeh-chih (Yue-zhi), a people that had migrated from the borders of China after having been defeated by the Hsiung-nu (Xiongnu).
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS ii. Islamic Period to the Mongols
J. M. Rogers
Ṣīn in Arabic sources referred not only to China but also to eastern Turkestan and the Far East as a whole, whereas Chinese texts rarely distinguished among Persian, Central Asian, and Arab Muslims.
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS iii. In the Mongol Period
Liu Yingsheng and Peter Jackson
The incorporation of Persia into a vast empire that extended as far as China, following the conquests of Čengīz (Chinggis) Khan (602-24/1206-27) and his grandson Hülegü (Hūlāgū; 654-63/1256-65), inaugurated an era of intense contact between Persia and China.
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS iv. The Safavid Period, 1501-1732
J. M. Rogers
In the Safavid period relations with China were, unsurprisingly, indirect. In eastern Khorasan the Uzbeks and their successors blocked the land route to northwestern China through Transoxania.
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS v. Diplomatic and Commercial Relations, 1949-90
Parviz Mohajer
There were three distinct periods in Chinese-Persian diplomatic relations: 1328-49 Š./1949-70, 1350-57 Š./ 1971-78, and 1358-69 Š./1979-90.
CHINESE-IRANIAN RELATIONS vi. Relations with Afghanistan in the Modern Period
Daniel Balland
Throughout history China and Afghanistan shared a certain amount of trade, mostly tea and fruit, via the direct caravan route from Chinese Turkestan across the high passes of the Pamirs and the Wāḵān corridor to northern Afghanistan.

"Thoroughly entertaining"
If you're a fan of Christopher Moore, you'll enjoy this audio book. This book follows his pattern of an intriguing, amusing plot and quirky characters, seasoned generously with sarcasm and humor. The performance by the narrator really brought the characters to life.
"Bizarrely compelling"
I honestly don't know how to describe this book. It has a few laugh-out-loud moments, but mostly I found myself listening with half-smile and dumb-founded look on my face, trying to comprehend what I was hearing. Imagine David Sedaris, living as an animal.
"Solid Introduction"
A solid introduction to the world of internet marketing. A little out of-date already, but the fundamentals presented here are very useful. Makes a great starting point for a business looking to start utilizing the various marketing channels on the internet, such as blogs, social media and search engine ranking.
"Interesting History"
I didn't realize this book was about the history of the discoveries leading to the theories involving the 4% universe, I was expecting more of the theories themselves. Still, it was very interesting learning about the people involved in the discoveries, especially when Saul Perlmutter recently won the Nobel Prize in Physics for the work described in this book. However, it did tend to drag a little at some points.
"Very intesting recent history of the Internet"
Battelle's book provides a very interesting history of Google and it's predecessor technologies for searching and navigating the Internet. A good read for anyone interested in a general understanding of the landscape of the Internet. Battelle is not the best reader, he probably should have let a professional handle it...
Some interesting ideas, but Gleick goes off on too many tangents for my tastes and tended to drag in parts. It was hard for me to identify the unifying idea of the book. I actually didn't finish listening to the second half...
Truly an inspiring book! The author's insights into motivating and productively interacting with other people helped me think about social situations in an entirely new light. The authors do a very good job narrating their own work, and the bits of classical music add a wonderful touch.
"Fascinating exploration of human behavior."
Fascinating book! The examples and explanations of the principles governing the behavior of large groups of people constantly surprised me. It's almost like Freakonomics, but which much more in-depth and data-driven analysis.
"Interesting Philisophical Ideas"
Although I thought this book would go into more depth about AI, the philosophical questions about what it means to be human and conscious that Brian Christian brings up were quite interesting and thought-provoking. I started to get a little lost in the final chapters, but overall, this was an enjoyable listen.
"Good Listen"
Full of interesting tidbits, this might make you look at many things in the world in a new light. I agree with other reviewers that some of the research is questionable, but I think that's part of the authors' point: data can be interpreted differently by different people. Looking at the data behind commonly used statistics can often reveal a different side to the story. As a bonus, it's also quite entertaining.

When I was growing up, my father and brothers were very competitive, or, more accurately, completely ruthless at videogames, board games, sports, bowling, air hockey, and especially go-carts. My dad is a great man, but he would completely kick my little toddler ass at Candy Land and any other board game I'd waddle over to him with. As my brothers grew, they became equally cutthroat. I went in the opposite direction. As the family softie, I began to dodge opportunities for competition. I'd sit out when my friends went bowling. The idea of my playing an organized sport was laughable, and I had a bad habit of resetting our videogame console anytime I felt losing upon me. Go-carting? The time my brother put me in the wall to get me out of the race was the last time I ever did that.
If I end up drinking and driving on a Monday night, it's never planned, but I read Xtreme Indoor Karting has an indoor go-cart track as well as an adjoining full-liquor sports bar and an expansive arcade. Though a place with so many different arenas for gaming might be a bad spot for someone as unnerved by competition as I am, there is one game I don't often lose: drinking. Also, I'm a helluva good spectator.
Ambiance: Xtreme Indoor Karting (5300 N. Powerline Rd., Fort Lauderdale) is an all-in-one extravaganza that's pretty much heaven for a young adult male with a lot of expendable adrenaline. (All that's missing are racetrack bikini babes.) The 90,000-square-foot building is divided into racetrack, refreshments, and arcade games. A half-mile asphalt racetrack and sideline sit comfortably positioned behind glass, sound-proofing the rest of the building (the simultaneous growling of 25 go-cart engines could make it really hard to focus on slurping down cheese fries and eradicating zombies on the House of the Dead 4). Black-and-white-checkered tile cover all ceilings and floors, creating the sensation that you have somehow wound up inside a race flag.
I walked past the cashiers and through the arcade, plentifully stocked with gambling games, air hockey tables, videogames, Dance-Dance Revolution, and an assload of racing games. I saw the faint fluorescent glow of what my brain registered as a place where beer might be procured, so I darted down a corridor with a row of conference rooms on one side and a bright, colorful "children's arcade" on the other. No doubt positioned so close to the bar so Mommy and Daddy can leave Junior to play lonely rounds of ski ball while they liquor up.
Bartender: Xtreme's alcohol hot spot is low-lit, with several red-felt pool tables and flat-screen TVs (all showing sports). Mike, a bald-headed guy in an orange "pit crew" shirt, was occupying the bartender with a story about his cat's inclination to lick people's eyeballs. (No, seriously; it was a slow night.) The place was clean, with a small stage in a far corner and a dartboard and popcorn machine nearby. Jennifer, the full-figured, blond bartender, brought me a bowl of freshly popped corn (and several more throughout the evening).
Drinks: "Are you going to race today?" Jennifer asked me when I tried to order a Newcastle.
"No," I said. "But what if I was? You against drinking and carting?"
"We can't let you drive if you've been drinking," she said.
"I bet it's pretty dangerous out there in those little carts," I said.
"Well, the carts can hit 45 miles per hour," interjected Doug, the events coordinator, a pale man in a shirt with Helsinki printed on it.
"So what if I change my mind and decide to race after imbibing?" I said. "Who's gonna stop me?"
"Well, for starters, you can't race in flip-flops," Mike said, leaning forward to point at my feet.
"The guys up front will smell the alcohol on your breath," said Jennifer, raising an eyebrow, possibly daring me to try it. "They'll give you a Breathalyzer."
One's first Breathalyzer test should be a special experience. My first was not going to happen in front of a bunch of bratty adolescents playing arcade games.
"So do you guys take bets on the highest blood alcohol levels you see in a day?" I asked.
By now, I'd earned enough trust for them to put a delicious Newcastle in my hand.
"No, ours just detect alcohol. It doesn't matter what your level is; if you have any booze in you, you can't race," Mike said.
But Mike had a gleam in his eye. "It would be much more fun if we could see the actual levels," he conceded. "We could put the numbers out on the big racing display screens, like first, second, and third place."
Patrons: I ventured toward the racetrack, hoping to see drifting aplenty. Along the way, I encountered the friend I'd brought along who had disappeared into the maze of arcade games and pinball machines. He was staring at the screen on a Silent Scope machine, gripping the game's plastic gun. "You couldn't stop the terrorist attacks," the screen read solemnly, announcing "game over."
"Fuck yes, I did," he growled at it, his trigger finger twitching as he prepared to pay for another go. No arguing with a machine,

CENTRAL POINT, Ore. – Thunderstorms are heading our way, and with that a high risk for lightning strikes. The weather has Department of Forestry specialists on alert during what is already a crippling drought season. But they say it isn't time to call it fire season yet.
Dispatchers monitored the storm for much of the day Monday. But despite the frequent lightning strikes, the rain coming with this storm has ODF spokespeople assuring that we can breathe easy for now.
They say the fuels have still retained their moisture, and that could continue to be the case as long as periodic rains continue.
"We could stay in this cycle for a while, this is a pretty nice cycle," said ODF Fire Prevention Specialist Brian Ballou. "But it's not going to take a lot of hot dry weather for us to have to call the start of fire season."
Ballou says as little as seven to ten days of dry weather could be all it takes to bring on fire season. Right now crews are gradually ramping up until mid-June.

Compilling Qt Creator 2.2 on FreeBSD
Page |
1 |
I'm trying to compile Qt Creator 2.2 on a FreeBSD machine. Qt version there is 4.6 and, so, I first compiled successfully Qt 4.7.3 locally on my machine. Attempts to compile Qt Creator 2.1 all failed and, so, I've tried to compile v2.2. It compiles smoothly but, when I try to run it, it prints this message:
Failed to load core: /home/gustavo/prog/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libCore.so: Cannot load library /home/gustavo/prog/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libCore.so: (/home/gustavo/prog/lib/qtcreator/libBotan.so.1: Undefined symbol "_ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE")
Does anyone know what may be causing this problem?
31 replies
Thanks Tobias!
Running c++filt get me this result:
- c++filt _ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE
- >> vtable for Botan::POSIX_Timer
So, there's something in Botan build configuration preventing it to load this class at build time. Fortunately, I've noticed Qt Creator 2.0 was showing this same problem, and, for this version, there's a patch in FreeBSD ports, namely:
- --- ./src/libs/3rdparty/botan/src/src.pro.orig 2010-08-24 11:46:09.000000000 +0400
- +++ ./src/libs/3rdparty/botan/src/src.pro 2010-11-29 03:49:46.829707166 +0300
- -564,10 +564,6
- timer/gettimeofday/tm_unix.cpp
- }
- -linux*-g++* {
- - SOURCES += timer/posix_rt/tm_posix.cpp
- -}
- +SOURCES += timer/posix_rt/tm_posix.cpp
- -linux*-g++* {
- - LIBS += -lrt
- -}
- +LIBS += -lrt
This fix the Botan::POSIX_Timer problem. Now I'm able to launch Qt Creator. Nevertheless, another problem has arrived: when I try to load a project file, a dialog appears displaying this message:
No valid qt versions found. Please add a qt version in Tools/Options or via the maintenance tool of the SDK
This is really strange, because the path of my Qt local installation is already set up correctly in Tools/Options (Qt Creator just found it automatically). Any idea what went wrong this time?
Does this patch [pastebin.com] fix the build for you?
Is the Qt version marked as valid in Tools->Options->Qt4? My guess is that this worked. Is there any tool chain set up in Tools->Options->Qt4? Does it have a sane ABI (hover it, please)? My guess that this is what is going wrong here. If it indeed is: Can you please provide me with the output of gcc -dumpmachine? Thanks!
Everything in Qt4 configuration seems to be ok:

The output of gcc -dumpmachine:
About the patch you provided, I'm gonna testing it to provide you a feedback.
Yeap, it does not know "amd64-undermydesk-freebsd", so it will not recognize that this is something compatible with your freebsd Qt… Plus it obviously assumed your Qt to be linux, too.
So there is quite a bit going wrong. Could you please send me your libQtCore.so (the actual lib, not the symlinks;)? That would be highly appreciated!
How do I send it to you? By mail?
By the way, let me point a related usability bug in Qt Creator: at my work, only some projects are currently using any Qt library. Nonetheless, we want to use Qt Creator as our IDE for every C++ project, regardless of it being Qt based or not. So, for many projects, it's not necessary that Qt Creator finds any Qt configuration at all. But, with this bug, we are not able to use Qt Creator even for this non-Qt projects, because Qt Creator does require a working Qt configuration for every project.
Just opened http://bugreports.qt.nokia.com/browse/QTCREATORBUG-4879 about misdetection of freebsd binaires as linux.
This will make it hard to work on freebsd since Creator will not match up the compiler with the Qt version and thus block building:-/
The only workaround I can think of right now is to feed Qt Creator with a compiler that claims via "gcc -dumpmachine" to be targetting Linux. A small script wrapper should do that… then the (now misdetected) compiler will match up with the misdetected Qt and all should be well.
Hello All,
I've compile the qt-creator 2.2.0 and I have the exact same error when trying to run it, i.e.
bash-4.2# bin/qtcreator
Failed to load core: /export/home/Download/Qt-creator/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libCore.so: Cannot load library /export/home/Download/Qt-creator/lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia/libCore.so: (ld.so.1: qtcreator: fatal: relocation error: file /download/Qt-creator/lib/qtcreator/libBotan.so.1: symbol _ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE: referenced symbol not found)
bash-4.2# nm -C /download/Qt-creator/lib/qtcreator/libBotan.so.1 | grep _ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE
bash-4.2# nm /download/Qt-creator/lib/qtcreator/libBotan.so | grep _ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE
[7605] | 0| 0|NOTY |GLOB |0 |UNDEF |_ZTVN5Botan11POSIX_TimerE
and well the patch it seems to work for FreeBSD, but I'm working in Solaris 10 and well checking the file
vim /download/qt-creator-2.2.0-src/src/libs/3rdparty/botan/src/timer/gettimeofday/info.txt
realname "Unix Timer"
define TIMER_UNIX
load_on auto
modset unix,beos
Solaris is listed as the "detected" OS, I don't know how to check if the compiler does a good detection of the OS, I have both libraries, librt et libposix4, which i read were the needed libraries to get all the posix timing routines.
Do you have any ideas on how getting qtcreator to run?
Thanks in advance
Thanks Gustavo, It runs now, qtcreator, but I have the exact same problemyou had, when trying to create or open a project it says no valid qt version found! but verifying under tools/options/qt4 Qtcreator has automatically taken the qmake on the PATH variable.
And on the shell where i ran the qtcreator i found these 3 different messages repeated:

With gratitude
Another milestone has just been reached: over 1100 "likes" on the Designs by KN Facebook page! In appreciation of your continued support, here's a new free pattern for your knitting enjoyment …
Once again, "Molly Mannequin" has come to my aid by "modeling" this newest creation. It features Lion Brand Yarns "Baby's First", an oh-so-soft bulky cotton/acrylic blend. Never mind the name, it's perfect for "big babies" too! The stitch pattern provides texture on the outside (front) of the piece, with smooth stockinette stitch on the inside (back). It's worked in the round on double-pointed needles for a double-thickness piece with some heft, although it's really light, soft and "squishable."
Hope you enjoy this new accessory design. It's presented with heartfelt thanks for all of you who share the passion for knitting and crocheting. If I'd had a great big heart button on hand when finishing this piece, I would have used it to convey my gratitude!

Some Stimulus Facts: How Big Is It?
So it looks like a couple alleged Republicans have made themselves a deal in the Senate to push Stimulus Bill to a vote. What I'm betting you haven't seen is exactly how big the bill rally is. Before the horse-trading began, the bill stood at $825 billion and when you include the debt service on the bill, it jumps up to $1.172 trillion dollars. That number has not changed appreciably so I'll use the original numbers.
We know that's a lot of money, but let's look at just how much money that is. I crunched some numbers and I am astounded at just how much of our cash Congress wants to throw down the toilet.
If there were a country called Stimutopia and its Gross Domestic Product equaled the total Stimulus Bill, it would have the 12th largest GDP in the world. That's bigger than India or China. The interest alone would be the 27th-largest economy in the world. If we put Stimutopia in South America, the interest payments alone would be the second-largest economy on the continent. The entire bill would be a mere $141 billion smaller from taking the top spot from Brazil.
Congress is throwing around, with barely a week of debate, more money than most countries generate in an entire year. Do you think that's wise? I sure as heck don't.
But you don't need to look at country-sized numbers to get a sense of just how much of your money Congress is talking about spending. Let's imagine that it was your job to spend this stimulus money. If you started right now and spent a million dollars every day until you had spent the principle amount of the Stimulus Bill ($825 billion) today, you would spend your last penny on June 19, 4395. Well, you wouldn't. Your descendants 82 generations from now would finish the job you started.
I'll bring it even closer to home. If someone had started spending a million dollars a day starting on January 1, 1 AD, they would still have over $138 billion dollars left and a little over 380 more years to go.
That, folks, is a lot of money to spend on a truckload of programs with no track record of ever stimulating the economy enough to bring us out of a recession.

There are N hotels along the beautiful Adriatic coast. Each hotel has its value in Euros.
Sroljo has won M Euros on the lottery. Now he wants to buy a sequence of consecutive hotels, such that the sum of the values of these consecutive hotels is as great as possible - but not greater than M.
You are to calculate this greatest possible total value.
In the first line of the input there are integers N and M (1 ≤ N ≤ 300 000, 1 ≤ M < 231).
In the next line there are N natural numbers less than 106, representing the hotel values in the order they lie along the coast.
Print the required number (it will be greater than 0 in all of the test data).
