Hello Future Gophers!
Over the past few months, I have greatly enjoyed blogging about student life at UMN. It's been a pleasure of mine to share my experiences with all of our Future Gophers and to write about all the things that make the University of Minnesota a wonderful place to study.
However, for the rest of 2014 the University of Minnesota's Office of Admissions will be transitioning our student life blogs over to our Tumblr page, which you can find here. There you will find not only blogs about student life, but also pictures, videos, and other content about life at the University of Minnesota. Of course, our past blogs will still be viewable for any who are interested.
You can also follow us on any of our other social media platforms, for further information about what is going on at the University of Minnesota. We love connecting with students who are interested in the U of M!
We look forward to all that our new blogging platform has to offer, and we hope to see you there. Ski-U-Mah, everyone!

Dr. Oz is a famous personality, and of course -- he's a doctor. So it is understandable that when he recommends something for weight loss, people listen. What has Dr. Oz been telling people who dream to shed a few extra pounds? He wants you to try Garcinia Cambogia.
Why is it that this fruit has gained so much interest? There are a few reasons why Garcinia Cambogia Extract has aroused so much interest for weight loss enthusiasts. The first reason is that Garcinia suppresses appetite. It causes the digestive tract to produce serotonin. This hormone has a few effects on the body.
What is the purpose of serotonin? According to wikipedia:
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter and is found in all bilateral animals, where it mediates gut movements and the animal's perceptions of resource availability. In less complex animals, such as invertebrates, resources simply mean food availability. In more complex animals, such as arthropods and vertebrates, resources also can mean social dominance. In response to the perceived abundance or scarcity of resources, an animal's growth, reproduction or mood may be elevated or lowered. This may somewhat depend on how much serotonin the organism has at its disposal.
So what do we have here? When you have serotonin in your system, it makes you happy. Its often referred to as the "happy hormone". You eat food, it produces serotonin and (as a by-product), you feel happy and satisfied. The reason for the interest in Garcinia Cambogia is that it produces serotonin, without the food.
Backing up now many years, there was a drug available that was quite effective in weight loss. That drug: Fen-Phen. It was a diet pill that ultimately was taken off the market because the FDA determined it had adverse effects on the body. The one thing it did that helped people is that it curbed hunger. How did it do that? It triggered serotonin receptors in the digestive tract. In other words, it acted as fake serotonin. This, in turn, killed appetite.
Psychology Today says this about serotonin:A natural mood regulator, serotonin makes you feel emotionally stable, less anxious, more tranquil and even more focused and energetic.
Therefore, the first method in which Garcinia Cambogia helps weight loss is the production of hormones in the body, reducing hunger and creating the feelings of happiness and well-being that come from the hormone serotonin.
A few famous diets involve blocking carbohydrates from your diet. Atkins has you almost completely avoiding carbohydrates. It is well known that the carbs are broken down into sugars which are stored as body fat. The way that Atkins gets you losing weight is by refusing carbohydrates to your body. This puts the body in a state of ketosis, where the body begins breaking down fats in order to get its energy.
In our review, we're trying to emphasize that Garcinia Cambogia gets you to lose weight, but not through the deprivation of carbohydrates. Instead, you still are able to eat carbohydrates -- but your body will not be able to as effectively convert them to body fat. The body converts carbohydrates to body fat with an enzyme called citrate lyase. This enzyme is effectively blocked from breaking carbs into sugars by the chemical HCA, or hydroxycitric acid.
The idea then is that a high HCA dose of pure Garcinia Cambogia will enter your digestive tract and, while present, limit the body's production of the very chemical that breaks carbohydrates down. Because the body is unable to process them, it therefore passes through, unutilized. Reviews show that this has created excitement in many dieters because they are still able to enjoy their carbs.

- Senior managers at Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are paid well. An Federal Housing Finance Agency's inspector general report due out today shows employees at the vice president level have a median salary of $388,000. Director level employees have a median income of $205,000. The Wall Street Journal reports, it's the first look at employee pay at below the executive level. It shows salaries on par with the private sector housing finance industry, but more than most senior federal workers earn. The government took over Fannie and Freddie in 2009. The pair have cost taxpayers $187 billion. (The Wall Street Journal)
- Feds, today is your last chance to pick health benefits. Open Season ends today. If you do nothing, you'll automatically stay with your current health insurance, dental and vision plans for another year. But benefits and premiums might change, and you have to re-enroll to continue putting money aside in a flexible spending account. This is the only time of the year you can change your benefits, unless you get married, divorced or have another qualifying life event. (Federal News Radio)
- By the time he leaves office, President Obama's administration will have produced a billion documents to preserve. Now the White House is getting advice on how to deal with classifying them all. The Public Interest Declassification Board recommends several steps to reduce the number of documents classified and to speed up the process for those that must stay secret. Among the ideas, reduce classification levels from three to two. And, let more documents be declassified automatically. Board chairman Nancy Soderberg said the current system simply can't deal with the volumes of information generated by electronic systems. (Federal News Radio)
- New figures show homelessness among veterans dropped by 7 percent this year. More than 62,000 veterans are on the streets. The Departments of Veterans Affairs and Housing and Urban Development have been working to end homelessness among vets by 2015. VA Secretary Eric Shinseki said they are on the right track. But advocates are skeptical that the government can meet its goal at this pace. Nonetheless, veterans are doing better than the rest of the country. The overall rate held steady this year, with a slight increase in homelessness among families. (Federal News Radio)
- Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack thinks he knows why no farm bill passed during an election year. He says rural America has lost too much political clout. The former Iowa governor said rural interests should stop arguing with one another and present a more unified face to Congress. Agriculture Department figures show the population in 50 percent of rural counties has dropped in the last four years. Yet rural America is where most of the food and energy is produced. At a Farm Journal conference, Vilsack urged farmers to appeal more to urban consumers who eat what farmers produce. (Federal News Radio)
- The White House has put a price tag on the federal response to Hurricane Sandy. It is requesting $60.4 billion from Congress for disaster relief. In a letter to Congressional leaders, the administration said the money will fund recovery and mitigation efforts too. It's more money than what the White House had first suggested but less than what states had asked for. It said Sandy is either the second or third most-costly natural disaster in U.S. History, behind Hurricane Katrina and close to Hurricane Andrew. (White House)
- Customs and Border Protection has delayed by nine months the awarding of a contract for an electronic border fence. The original award date was supposed to be this Jan. 1. Now it won't be until October. NextGov reports, that's because the agency has received more good-looking bids than it expected. It plans to conduct technology fly-offs between January and April. The expected contract replaces an earlier project the agency canceled in 2011. The goal is to have a fence on the Mexico border made of sensors and cameras rather than a physical wall. (NextGov)
- We're learning more about the General Services Administration's plans to redevelop much of federal Washington. The Federal Times reports more than 14,000 employees would move offices under GSA's plans for the L'Enfant Plaza area in southwest. That includes workers at the departments of Homeland Security, Transportation and Energy and the GSA itself. GSA plans to fund the project through special financing deals with private developers. Meanwhile, the FBI is looking forward to the day when all of its local employees would work under one roof. Overcrowding at the Hoover building means 17,000 workers are now scattered around Washington. Virginia and Maryland officials say they'd both welcome the bureau to their states. (The Federal Times/Federal News Radio)

Q:Approximately how long can it go at room temperature before it goes bad?Asked on 4/3/2015 by E
1 answer
A:It is important to refrigerate the fresh face masks as soon as possible. A few hours at room temperature at most, and anything longer than that can cause the quality of the product to go down. The fresh face masks do not contain any synthetic ingredients, and so it is important to refrigerate them as soon as possible.Answered on 4/4/2015 by Emily from LUSH Direct

JON CARDINELLI reports on WP's 29-22 win against Free State in Bloemfontein.
Two instances of brilliance and a flawless goal-kicking performance earned Western Province what could be a crucial win in the context of their season.
The match was framed by moments of vision and sublime finishing, Gio Aplon supplying the opening salvo and Marcel Brache contributing the score that would put the result beyond doubt.
Aplon's try took the visitors to a 7-0 lead in just the second minute. Brache did exceptionally well to get his hands through the tackle and find Aplon, who subsequently chipped the ball over the advancing defenders. The WP fullback was always going to win the race and with a favourable bounce, the Cape side were off to the best possible start.
But Free State stayed in touch via the impressive goal-kicking of wing Nico Scheepers. The youngster kicked five goals in the first half, and this allowed the hosts to go to the break with a 19-13 advantage.
But just as Scheepers showed considerable mettle in front of goal, so too did Catrakilis. The WP flyhalf converted every opportunity in the first half, when it seemed the Cheetahs had the initiative, and three quick penalties in succession after the break saw the momentum shifting back in the visitors' favour.
Scheepers managed to bisect the uprights to bring the scores level at 22-22, but that's when Catrakilis showed why he is more than just a goal-kicker.
The WP flyhalf spotted the space behind the Cheetahs defence, and chipped for Brache to chase. The timing of Catrakilis's kick, as well as that of Brache's run, allowed Province to score a seven-pointer. It was a timely strike, as the Cheetahs had already begun to flag at that point in contest.
This score also seemed to have an adverse effect on the Cheetahs goal-kicker. Scheepers missed his first shot on goal in the 73rd minute. It meant that all that Free State could play for in those final minutes was a draw.
WP looked to have secured territory during this decisive period, that is until a set-piece turnover sparked a dangerous Cheetahs counter-attack.
Some desperate WP defence would deny the Cheetahs in the final move, and ensure the Cape side walked away from this encounter with four valuable log points.

Customer Raves & Reviews
Excellent Presentation
VERY pleased with process and final products. Site is relatively easy to use (took a bit to navigate the first time through) and ability to proof/communicate via e-mail or phone was very accommodating. Only complaint is that not all fonts are available in all designs... I used one design for Save the Dates and another for Invitations.
Affordable and Beautiful Invites
Magnet Street was a pleasure to work with. Their customer service was on point and always helpful, even late at night! I ordered my invites and they arrived perfect in a beautiful box with matching cream colored envelopes. You wouldn't think I spent only $90 for 50 invites on sturdy card stock that didn't feel at all cheap or flimsy. I was able to choose all of my colors and fit all of my wedding information on this particular style without it looking cramped. Best of all, you can order "Just One" so you can actually see and hold your invitation before committing. Magnet Street was the first website that offered this option and one of the main reasons I chose them. I would definitely recommend Magnet Street and don't forget to search for coupon codes before you order!
Good product
We got these magnets for our wedding save the dates. Ther personalization was easy to use, I was able to change the colors to match and even some of the text. Sometimes the font was a little difficult to change and I had to play with it. The magnets are a good quality, just what I was looking for. The price is cheaper than others I have looked at and the delivery was very quick.
simply elegent
I was worried about how my colors gold, blue, and white would look with out having an actual sample in my hand but it was the perfect sky blue I wanted and gold borders just was so elegant and truly reflected the heavenly theme I wanted.

Statement From Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers Regarding Last Night's Early Conclusion To The Concert At The Fonda Theatre In Los Angeles
First and foremost, the safety of our fans is our primary concern and the most important consideration. To those fans who attended last night's show at the Fonda Theatre, we are as frustrated as you are!
While we are still investigating exactly what happened we do know the following as of right now:
1) The number of tickets sold was NOT above the legal capacity of the building. The venue and Ticketmaster documentation confirms this.
2) The Fire Marshal decided that the number of people on the floor (as opposed to on the upstairs balcony or terrace) was unsafe.
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers and our representatives rely on the concert promoter and venue representatives to give us an accurate breakdown of the legal capacity for every part of the building and to provide security and other staff to enforce this.
We are still investigating all details of last night's situation and will keep you informed.
The shows at the Fonda tonight and Tuesday will go ahead as planned and we are working with the venue, the promoter and the Fire Marshal to ensure that this problem will not repeat itself.
We thank you for your support.
- Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers

Ewing's sarcoma is a cancerous bone tumor that may occur in any bone in the body. When it occurs in soft tissue, it is called extraosseous sarcoma. The most commonly affected areas include the pelvis, thigh, lower leg, upper arm, and chest wall.
The causes of Ewing's sarcoma are not fully understood. Chromosomal rearrangement that alters the genes may be a factor.
Risk Factors
Because the causes of the cancer are unknown, risk factors are also not fully understood. The following factors may increase your chance of developing Ewing's sarcoma:
- Race: Caucasians
- Age—Teenagers
- Gender—Male
Symptoms include:
- Pain, redness, and swelling surrounding the tumor
- Fever
- Weight loss and reduced appetite
- Fatigue
- Paralysis and incontinence in cases where the tumor is near the spinal cord
- Numbness, tingling, and paralysis caused by compression of nerves by the tumor
- Difficulty breathing if the tumor is in the chest wall
Your doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done. You will be treated by a team of doctors which may include an oncologist who specializes in cancer, an orthopaedic surgeon who operates on bones, and a radiation oncologist who works with radiation to kill cancer cells.
Your bodily structures may need to be viewed. This can be done with:
- X-rays
- Bone scans
- CT scan
- MRI scan
- PET/CT scan —to evaluate the metabolic activity of tissue
Your bodily fluids and tissues may need to be tested. This can be done with:
- Blood tests
- Biopsy
Treatment involves a combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation. Typically, patients are first treated with chemotherapy for 8-12 weeks, followed by a CT or MRI scan to evaluate the tumor. Depending on the tumor size and location, either surgery or radiation follows. Chemotherapy then resumes for several months after surgery or radiation.
Chemotherapy drugs are used to kill tumor cells. The medications used to treat this tumor include vincristine (Oncovin) , dactinomycin (Actinomycin D), cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan), doxorubicin (Adriamycin), ifosfamide (Ifex), and etoposide (VePesid). Your doctor will prescribe a combination of these drugs to be given over a set time. This usually means every 2-4 weeks for several months.
Surgery may be used to remove the tumor, as well as rebuild the affected bone. Depending on the location of the tumor, a bone graft or prosthesis may be needed. There are special types of prostheses that expand as the bone grows. Sometimes, several surgeries are needed to make sure the limb functions properly.
Radiation Therapy
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. It may be used with surgery or instead of surgery. It is usually given over several weeks and is followed by chemotherapy.
Future Therapy
A combination of high-dose chemotherapy and stem cell transplant is being evaluated at certain cancer centers. This combination therapy is typically used in cases where the tumor is very resistant.
Ewing's sarcoma occurs for unknown reasons. There are currently no preventive measures to reduce the risk of developing the cancer.

New album: In Each And Every One
Artist: Polar Bear
Label: Leaf
Rating: 4 stars out of 5
Polar Bear is an experimental jazz group led by British drummer extraordinaire Seb Roachford. Most people know Roachford through his work with Herbie Hancock, David Byrne, Corine Bailey Rae and Brian Eno.
As part of the F-IRE Collective, Polar Bear have crafted several experimental jazz albums since their 2005 debut release "Held On The Tips Of Fingers." Roachford – along with electronic musician/guitarist John Burton, bassist Tom Herbert and saxophonists Mark Lockheart and Pete Wareham – don't play the dreaded "free jazz." The experiments conducted by Polar Bear are unique and without noodle.
"In Each And Every One" isn't the type of album you throw on for pleasant background noise. This stuff demands the listeners' attention and in spots a bit of patience.
"Open Sea" is a stark opener that could be described as the darker, moodier cousin of Pink Floyd's "Shine On You Crazy Diamond." Against a backdrop of thick, droning analog keyboards, Wareham and Lockhearts horns cut through the murk like a machete. Their playing is melodic and concise, but it could still startle anyone who was lulled into a false sense of calm by the keyboards. The saxophone hasn't been this important in a modern rock/jazz setting since Dana Colley emerged with Morphine in the 1990s.
"Be Free" and "There All Ks and Qs Lucien" are reminiscent of the unsettling but entertaining scores Angelo Badalamenti composed for many of David Lynch's films. Off-kilter drumming underpins crosscutting shards of keyboards and saxophones, creating what sounds like a busy city where everyone is up to no good.
"Life and Life" pairs the wow and flutter of vinyl with Buton's oscillating electronics and more tasty saxophone work from Lockheart and Wareham, while "Two Storms" comes off as a cross between Mickey Spillane and "Blade Runner."
Although not for the fainthearted, "In Each And Every One" is a refreshing piece of work. Highly recommended to fans of Exploding Star Orchestra, Broadcast and The Focus Group.
Classic album: Goodbye Yellowbrick Road (Deluxe Edition & Super Deluxe Edition)
Artist: Elton John
Label: MCA/Mercury
Rating: 5 stars out of 5
When asked about the prolific output of Elton John, Randy Newman replied "he made five albums while I was brushing my teeth."
Between 1969 and 1973, Elton John released seven studio albums. "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" – one of two albums he released in 1973 - was a sprawling, everything-including-the-kitchen-sink affair. Released the same year as The Who's "Quadrophenia" and Pink Floyd's "Dark Side Of The Moon," "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was definitely the most pop-oriented of that years mega-albums.
Along with songwriting partner Bernie Taupin, Elton John poured every bit of his talent into "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road." Be it ballads, rock, country or prog rock, "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" was the early 1970s answer to The Beatles' "White Album" - albeit with less filler and Yoko Ono.
The new deluxe editions of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" include enough goodies to entice even those who've already owned the album on vinyl, cassette and CD. As for the original album, it's been remastered and truly does sound better than ever.
Radio mainstays "Saturday Night's Alright For Fighting," "Bennie & The Jets," "Candle In The Wind" and the title track still maintain their original luster after zillions of spins. Naysayers will point out that these songs are available on any number of Elton John "best of" collections, but the songs actually work better when heard within the context of their original release.
There is nothing else in the Elton John catalog like the opening 11-minute salvo of "Funeral For A Friend (Love Lies Bleeding)." With its sweeping, cinematic synthesizer flourishes and wind effects, "Funeral For A Friend" falls somewhere between the dramatic side of The Moody Blues and the anthemic-side of early 1970s Who. John never dived headlong into prog rock, but with "Funeral For A Friend" he eased in about waist deep and came back with a stone classic.
By now anyone with ears knows the hits from "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" frontwards and backwards, but what about the deeper album cuts? "Grey Seal" is a soaring rocker that probably should have been pushed to album rock radio, as it's cut from the same brilliant cloth as "Funeral For A Friend." "All The Young Girls Love Alice" is another stunner that rocks just as hard as "Saturday Night's Alright" and proved to be a real corker in concert.
The new two-CD edition features nine covers of "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" songs by The Zach Brown Band, Fall Out Boy, Ed Sheeran and The Band Perry – among others. Although the inclusion of these covers may seem odd to fans who grew up with the album, it is an interesting way to showcase the potency of John and Taupin's songwriting partnership. If a fan of Miguel discovers "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" thanks to his cover of "Bennie and The Jets" on disc two, then everybody wins.
The two-disc version also features nine live tracks from the Hammersmith Odeon in 1973, and it is a living testament to Elton John and his superb band's ability to put on a top notch rock concert. A larger, five-disc edition includes rare b-sides, outtakes, a DVD documentary and the complete 1973 Hammersmith Odeon concert.
This will most likely be the last time "Goodbye Yellow Brick Road" is issued in a physical format, and as attempts to persuade people to buy an album they already own go, these packages are quite entertaining. Whichever format you choose, this is one of the must-have albums you should acquire before all music is related to those puny little mp3s.

PORTLAND Dave s Killer Bread got a major cash infusion and is now co-owned by New York equity firm Goode Partners.
The partnership will help the Milwaukie Ore.-based bread company expand into new markets around the county, including Texas, Colorado and Illinois, the company said in a prepared statement to KGW.
Dave s Killer Bread is not disclosing the terms of the deal, but Lindsay Yale, a company spokeswoman said Goode Partners now has a 50-percent stake in the company.
The incredibly popular bread company saw huge growth during the past seven years, and is already available in 11 states. Dave s Killer Bread needed to ramp-up production and partner with new distributors in order to meet demand around the country.
Behind the scenes at Dave's Killer 'Breadquarters'
All you have to do is go to our Facebook page and see that people ship the bread to each other. It's crazy. Everybody wants the bread, so why not give it to them, said Dave Dahl, co-founder and face of Dave s Killer Bread.
Yale said the new investment partnership won t affect the 280 employees and the company s headquarters in Milwaukie and analysts are expecting about $50 million in sales this year.
Dave, Shobi and Glenn Dahl, who founded Dave s Killer Bread seven years ago, will have equal representation on the new board of directors. Three representatives from Good Partners including the New Chairman, Angelo Fraggos, will make up the other half of the board.
We think this brand is something special, so we jumped at the opportunity to partner with the Dahls, said Dan Bonoff, a Partner at Goode Partners in a press release to KGW.
Dave Dahl will keep his title as company president and continue as head of product development. He insists that the new expansion will not affect the taste or quality of his killer bread.

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Major
Resolution: Incomplete
Affects Version/s: JRuby 1.5.3
Fix Version/s: None
Component/s: Windows
Environment:Mac OS X 10.6 / openSUSE 11.3
Number of attachments :
In irb of CRuby 1.9, String#encoding returns valid encodings, UTF-8.
But in 1.9 mode irb of JRuby, String#encoding returns invalid encodings, ASCII-8BIT.
Please see the attached screenshots because description area can't diaplay Japanese.
I wrong to select Component/s area, please correct it.
So where does Ruby 1.9 get UTF-8 from? Perhaps we're still just defaulting to ASCII because that's the standard in Ruby 1.8.
At first, thanks to correct Component/s area.
> So where does Ruby 1.9 get UTF-8 from?
UTF-8 is from terminal's default encode (both in Mac OS X and in openSUSE).
> Perhaps we're still just defaulting to ASCII because that's the standard in Ruby 1.8
IMHO, it's okay if there are only alphabets and numbers. But, like its screenshot, it's strange Hiragana is indicated as ASCII.
As far as I read my translation, http://yokolet.blogspot.com/2009/07/design-and-implementation-of-ruby-m17n.html#l14, Ruby 1.9 sees $LANG environment variable to determine the encoding of standard I/O. On my OS X, "echo $LANG" printed out "ja_JP.UTF-8", while Java's file.encoding is SJIS on JDK 6 and UTF-8 on JDK 5. Terminal's default encoding is usually the value of $LANG, so it coincides with what Youhei said.
Perhaps we should use whatever the JDK claims as its default platform encoding for our default 1.9 mode encoding? That should be the correct encoding based on the current platform's $LANG and other settings.
There are Ruby 1.9 Encoding Summary:
I guess irb is categorized as "-e and stdin case", and my sample is surely "no -K -E, no magic comment" case, so both "script encoding" and "default external" should be indicated for locale ($LANG).
There are two bugs here:
- We are not properly setting up the default external encoding and "kcode" (which lingers on from 1.8 mode) when starting up in 1.9 mode.
- The parser is not propagating the current encoding (or default external encoding) into strings, etc that it parses.
Most of this fix will require work in the 1.9 parser logic, so that it will create ByteList objects for our RubyStrings with the appropriate encoding. Some additional work is needed to set up the kcode and default external encoding in 1.9 mode, but it's not major.
Because of this, I'm marking this as a 1.9 and Parser bug. Also marked for fixing in 1.6.
Recent encoding work (likely Tom's big push for internal/external and parser encoding support) appear to have fixed this. Thanks for the report!
~/projects/jruby ➔ jruby --1.9 -S irb >> "foo".encoding => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
At first, many thanks for all to implement String#encoding with M17N.
In 1.6.0 RC1, both on my Linux and on Mac OS X (Terminal is in UTF8), it succeeds totally.
irb(main):001:0> JRUBY_VERSION "1.6.0.RC1" irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION "1.9.2" irb(main):003:0> 'a'.encoding #<Encoding:UTF-8> irb(main):004:0> 'あ'.encoding #<Encoding:UTF-8>
But on Windows (Terminal is in Japanese), it succeeds at half.
irb(main):001:0> JRUBY_VERSION "1.6.0.RC1" irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION "1.9.2" irb(main):003:0> 'a'.encoding #<Encoding:Windows-31J> irb(main):004:0> 'あ'.encoding SyntaxError: (irb):4: invalid multibyte char (Windows-31J) from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1096:in `eval19' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1421:in `loop' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1208:in `rbCatch19' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1208:in `rbCatch19'
Adding "Windows" category, since it now appears to only fail on Windows.
I'm surprised by this. Can you provide more information about your system please?
- default external and internal encodings
- whether this character works in a script, with and without encoding: header
- full Java backtrace for the error, by passing -J-Djruby.backtrace.style=raw to JRuby
I'd like to see us fix this for 1.6, so marking as such.
screenshot for irb. The first is CRuby 1.9.2 and the last is JRuby 1.6.0 RC1 with --1.9 mode
I attached both CRuby's irb and JRuby's irb
At first, CRuby's one.
! jruby5156_cruby192.png !
Encoding.default_external is Windows-31J and Encoding.default_internal is nil.
Windows-31J is the default encoding of command prompt in Japanese Windows.
At last, JRuby's one.
! jruby5156_jruby160.png !
Encoding.default_external is US-ASCII and Encoding.default_internal is nil.
And its Java backtrace is below:
SyntaxError: (irb):7: invalid multibyte char (Windows-31J) from Thread.java:1479:in `getStackTrace' from RubyException.java:154:in `prepareBacktrace' from RaiseException.java:156:in `preRaise' from Ruby.java:3432:in `newRaiseException' from Ruby.java:3261:in `newSyntaxError' from Parser.java:139:in `parse' from Parser.java:83:in `parse' from Parser.java:75:in `parse' from Ruby.java:2346:in `parseEval' from ASTInterpreter.java:146:in `evalWithBinding' from RubyKernel.java:1138:in `evalCommon' from RubyKernel.java:1096:in `eval19' from org/jruby/RubyKernel$s_method_0_3$RUBYINVOKER$eval19.gen:65535:in `call' from DynamicMethod.java:178:in `call' from CachingCallSite.java:252:in `cacheAndCall' from CachingCallSite.java:71:in `call' ... 118 levels... from BeginNode.java:83:in `interpret' from NewlineNode.java:103:in `interpret' from BlockNode.java:71:in `interpret' from ASTInterpreter.java:70:in `INTERPRET_METHOD' from InterpretedMethod.java:184:in `call' from DefaultMethod.java:179:in `call' from CachingCallSite.java:282:in `cacheAndCall' from CachingCallSite.java:139:in `call' from jirb_swing:65:in `__file__' from jirb_swing:-1:in `load' from Ruby.java:702:in `runScript' from Ruby.java:587:in `runNormally' from Ruby.java:421:in `runFromMain' from Main.java:304:in `run' from Main.java:144:in `run' from Main.java:113:in `main'
I believe I at least know what we are doing wrong. I set the default external encoding unconditionally to US-ASCII, and clearly this gets picked up by some other means. I will try and figure out how default encoding is supposed to get set and fix this.
In 1.6.0 RC2, Encoding.default_external returns Windows-31J, but same error occurs.
Reduced test case:
# coding: utf-8 require 'readline' line = Readline.readline('> ', true) p line.encoding
The problem is our readline is not honoring default_external.
This issue should be fixed for irb, but it was not really a 100% fix since it assumes default_external will match the default charset used by a Java String. Unfortunately, we need to change jline to just read in bytes since String is not an adequate class for us to support all encodings supporting by M17n.
Youhei...Can you try latest master (commit 246cc28 or later) and tell me if it fixes the problem for you?
jirb_swing with jruby revision 246cc28
I retry with 246cc28. But same error occurs. I attach the screenshot ! 246cc28_jruby5156_jruby160.PNG !of jirb_swing and write the stack-trace below
SyntaxError: (irb):8: invalid multibyte char (Windows-31J) from Thread.java:1479:in `getStackTrace' from TraceType.java:20:in `getBacktrace' from RubyException.java:151:in `prepareBacktrace' from RaiseException.java:159:in `preRaise' from RaiseException.java:80:in `<init>' from Ruby.java:3258:in `newRaiseException' from Ruby.java:3097:in `newSyntaxError' from Parser.java:139:in `parse' from Parser.java:83:in `parse' from Parser.java:75:in `parse' from Ruby.java:2311:in `parseEval' from ASTInterpreter.java:158:in `evalWithBinding' from RubyKernel.java:1135:in `evalCommon' from RubyKernel.java:1093:in `eval19' from org/jruby/RubyKernel$s_method_0_3$RUBYINVOKER$eval19.gen:65535:in `call' from DynamicMethod.java:179:in `call' ... 118 levels... from BlockNode.java:71:in `interpret' from ASTInterpreter.java:74:in `INTERPRET_METHOD' from InterpretedMethod.java:190:in `call' from DefaultMethod.java:179:in `call' from CachingCallSite.java:282:in `cacheAndCall' from CachingCallSite.java:139:in `call' from C:/jruby_latest/bin/jirb_swing:65:in `__file__' from C:/jruby_latest/bin/jirb_swing:-1:in `load' from Ruby.java:667:in `runScript' from Ruby.java:571:in `runNormally' from Ruby.java:420:in `runFromMain' from Main.java:278:in `doRunFromMain' from Main.java:198:in `internalRun' from Main.java:164:in `run' from Main.java:148:in `run' from Main.java:128:in `main'
Does it work with jirb? It is possible jirb_swing starts up much differently (not to say it isn't a bug as well).
jirb version of '246cc28_jruby5156_jruby160.png'
Okay, now working with jirb.
! 246cc28_jruby5156_jruby160_irb.png !
But, inputted Japanese character is garbling.
(So that's the why I use jirb_swing.)
Youhei: What happens when you use console IRB with --noreadline? Also, please try an updated build of JRuby after this commit and let me know if it's any better:
commit 4f3a2a2d320a1e5c4d5ba4b47948f66b61798f16
Author: Charles Oliver Nutter <firstname.lastname@example.com>
Date: Tue Apr 5 12:33:53 2011 -0500
Update to jline-1.0-SNAPSHOT to get recent merges and patches.
(1) jruby --1.9 -S jirb --noreadline (1.6.0)
Succeeded with Win31J strings
irb(main):001:0> JRUBY_VERSION => "1.6.0" irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION => "1.9.2" irb(main):003:0> 'a'.encoding => #<Encoding:Windows-31J> irb(main):004:0> 'あ'.encoding => #<Encoding:Windows-31J>
(2) jruby --1.9 -S jirb_swing --noreadline (1.6.0)
No errors, but no successes. prompt is freezing.
(3) jruby --1.9 -S jirb --noreadline (4f3a2a2d)
Same as (1)
(4) jruby --1.9 -S jirb_swing --noreadline (4f3a2a2d)
Same as (2)
jirb is all OK and jirb_swing is all NG. And jirb is enough for JRuby echosystem (probably right). If jirb_swing is not important product in JRuby echosystem (probably right), IMHO, it is one way to purge jirb_swing from JRuby.
I try again in JRuby 1.6.6
(1) jruby --1.9 -S jirb (1.6.6)

Can you try JRuby 1.7/master? We have fixed a number of encoding issues. I tried with a chinese character and it was handled correctly as UTF-8 in my setup, but I'm not sure how to simulate your setup.
I tryed with JRuby 1.7.0 preview 1 zip on github.
(1) jruby -S jirb (1.7.0 preview 1)
irb(main):001:0> JRUBY_VERSION => "1.7.0.preview1" irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION => "1.9.3" irb(main):003:0> 'a'.encoding => #<Encoding:Windows-31J> irb(main):004:0> 'あ'.encoding irb(main):005:0' '
(1) jruby -S jirb_swing (1.7.0 preview 1)
irb(main):001:0> JRUBY_VERSION "1.7.0.preview1" irb(main):002:0> RUBY_VERSION "1.9.3" irb(main):003:0> 'a'.encoding #<Encoding:Windows-31J> irb(main):004:0> 'あ'.encoding SyntaxError: (irb):4: invalid multibyte char (Windows-31J) from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1037:in `eval' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1353:in `loop' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1146:in `catch' from org/jruby/RubyKernel.java:1146:in `catch' from C:/temp/jruby-jruby-00c8c98/bin/jirb_swing:54:in `(root)'
jirb_swing still fails, and jirb becomes to fail again(with another reason).
Thank you for the update. We will try to solve this once and for all for 1.7.
i have trouble with UTF-8 encoded file scripts. It is working with magic comment but if i want run it withou it i have syntax error. I tried it with jruby 184.108.40.206 and also wiht new 1.7.0.preview1. I use windows 7 operationg system.
Here is my test script(string is in czech):
a = "Př�li� �luťoučk� kůň"
puts a
puts a.encoding
and if i run this console command:
jruby -Ku --1.9 test_encoding.rb
i got Syntax error:
SyntaxError: test_encoding.rb:1: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)
i thing -Ku parameter should be exactly for setting file encoding but it doesn't work.
jruby and OS version i tryed:
jruby 1.7.0.preview1 (ruby-1.9.3-p203) (2012-05-19 00c8c98) (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_31) [Windows 7-x86-java] and jruby 126.96.36.199 (ruby-1.9.2-p312) (2012-05-01 26e08ba) (Java HotSpot(TM) Client VM 1.6.0_31) [Windows 7-x86-java]
Thanks for help.
In jirb and jirb_swing on 1.7.0 RC1 and RC2, http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/JRUBY-5156?focusedCommentId=299233&page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel#comment-299233 still occurs.
Can you run this and tell me your result:
jruby -e 'require "java"; puts java.lang.System.getProperty("file.encoding")'
Also does your input charset match this value? Does your input charset match default_external in Ruby?
I am assuming that your default_external is not matching file.encoding system property. I even have a comment about this being a problem in readline source code.
Yes, these two are different.
> jruby -e "require 'java'; puts java.lang.System.getProperty('file.encoding')" MS932 > jruby -e "puts Encoding.default_external" Windows-31J
But, these two indicate same codepoints.
JRuby has moved bug tracking to Github, accessible via our Github page at https://github.com/jruby/jruby/issues, or via http://bugs.jruby.org. In addition, this bug has not been updated in over two years.
We have decided to close down these old JIRA issues.
If your report is still a problem on current JRuby versions (1.7.18 or master/220.127.116.11), please re-file the bug at http://bugs.jruby.org.
You can contact us on the JRuby mailing lists, Freenode IRC channel #jruby, or the @jruby Twitter account if you are unsure how to proceed.

I currently have 40% of my Portfolio in the (Vanguard Total Bond Market Index I VBTIX) fund. I am worried about interest rates going up which will decrease the value of bonds. Therefore, I was thinking of purchasing the 2 bonds below and selling the total bond fund which I feel because of its holding is more susceptible to fluctuations. Thoughts??

There was frustration at the Mercer Island Community Center Tuesday at the first of three public meetings on a proposed toll on Interstate 90.
There was frustration over the toll and frustration over how the meeting went.
The meeting room was at capacity - someone would have to leave before anyone else was allowed in. People came expecting to sit down and take turns speaking at the microphone - a give and take. That wasn't what happened. In fact, many felt the public meeting wasn't as advertised.
It's wasn t so much what was being said, but what couldn't be heard, because what many thought would be a public forum with an opportunity to be heard... wasn't.
It's a format that's worked very, very well, it's not confrontational, the intent really is to get to the questions, said Craig Stone, WSDOT Asst. Sec., Toll Division
I think they need to give people an opportunity and a different forum to speak because I think a lot of people at this point are frustrated, said Terry Coe, Mercer Island resident.
Instead WSDOT chose an open house forum. It ended up being an exercise in crowd control. Yet those who came remain determined.
(Tolling) would mean we'd put our house on the market and we would leave ... after 32 years because it s double taxation, and we are isolated here, we have no other way. We can't swim, we can't fly, said Mercer Island resident Claus Jensen.
Any decision on a toll is at least a year away, and still subject to federal approval since it is an interstate.
It's all on the table - from one way tolls to tolling all the way from Seattle to North Bend.
Meetings will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday at Bellevue City Hall and Thursday at the Yesler Community Center in Seattle.

Club competitions
National team competitions
15-14, 28-22, 23-11, 22-17
BCM Gravelines topped Apollon 88-64 to secure top spot in Group G of the EuroChallenge.
Gravelines were already assured of a ticket to the Last 16, but made sure it came with a top seed as they proved too strong for struggling Apollon, who finished 1-5.
It took until late in the second quarter for Gravelines to finally start to pull clear, but once they did they easily put Apollon away to take the win.
A 28-28 tie had become a 34-28 Gravelines lead after back-to-back baskets from Ludovic Vaty and they went in with a 43-36 lead at half-time.
Abdoulaye Loum and David Noel had three-pointers in a 10-3 start to the third quarter as Gravelines began to take control, and another Noel three made it 60-44 midway through the period.
They only continued to pull away, enjoying their biggest lead when Abdoulaye Mbaye's three made it 82-52 with 3:36 left in the game.
Vaty led Gravelines with 24 points while Noel added 15 and Julius Johnson 11.
Diego Kapellan had 18 points for Apollon with Andrew Warren adding 13 and Shane Walker 10.
The win sees Gravelines improve to 4-2, ahead of Tsmoki Minsk on the tiebreaker.
Apollon Limassol player Diego Kapelan"We were undersized tonight. Key players were hurt and didn't play. We lost some points on the rebounds. I'm proud of my team for our last EuroChallenge game of the season, how we fought, giving one hundred percent of ourselves."
BCM Gravelines Dunkerque player David Noel"An important win for us! We needed to come out. It was an opportunity for us to play with determination. Playing together as a team with a lot of collective efforts. The first round, you got to go through it. At the same time, we have a long way to go. We need to stay healthy and to play better basketball."
Apollon head coach Chris Chougaz"It was a very difficult game for us. We had a lot of problems. Brandon Brown didn't play. And we had the same problem with Jefferson. We played without three players. We had problems with the rebound and in the paint. In the second half, it wasn't easy for us to follow the French team. We wish good luck for the French team in this competition!"
BCM haed coach Christian Monschau"We wanted to finish in first place. But our new group in the Last 16 is very difficult. We played tonight against a team which had won against us in the first game, in Limassol. And tonight, despite some injured players, this team played with a lot of courage. We have managed to preserve Cyril Akpomedah, who didn't play."

Keo.co.za brings you news from South Africa's Super Rugby franchises.
Smit back at tighthead -John Smit will start his first Super Rugby game this season at tighthead prop when the Sharks take on the Rebels in Melbourne on Friday.
Smit replaces Jannie du Plessis in the front row and takes over the captaincy from outside centre Stefan Terblanche.
The other change to the pack sees No 8 Ryan Kankowski promoted from the bench, which sees Keegan Daniel move to openside flank and Jacques Botes drops to the reserves.
Wing Odwa Ndungane has recovered from his light concussion to make the run-on side this weekend, while speedster Lwazi Mvovo replaces the injured JP Pietersen.
Sharks – 15 Louis Ludik, 14 Odwa Ndungane, 13 Stefan Terblanche, 12 Meyer Bosman, 11 Lwazi Mvovo, 10 Patrick Lambie, 9 Charl McLeod, 8 Ryan Kankowski, 7 Willem Alberts, 6 Keegan Daniel, 5 Alistair Hargreaves, 4 Steven Sykes, 3 John Smit (c), 2 Bismarck du Plessis, 1 Tendai Mtawarira.
Bench: 16 Craig Burden, 17 Jannie du Plessis, 18 Anton Bresler, 19 Jacques Botes, 20 Conrad Hoffmann, 21 Jacques-Louis Potgieter, 22 Adrian Jacobs.
Sharks consider London fixture – The Crusaders are planning to stage their home match against the Sharks in London, but they will need the Durban franchise to agree to the change in venue.
Following the earthquake in Christchurch, the Crusaders have moved to Nelson as a temporary base. Since the disaster, there has been a move to stage a game in London in order to help their financial situation.
According to The Witness, Sharks CEO Brian van Zyl has been approached by his Crusaders counterpart and the Durban franchise is weighing up the pros and cons. The fixture is the Sharks' fourth and final
tour game before they return to South Africa, so to travel all the way to London would place them at a disadvantage.
Both the Crusaders and Sharks stand to make money from the proposed fixture at Twickenham, but Van Zyl said a 'rugby decision' rather than a financial one would be made. The decision will be announced following the Sharks' game against the Rebels on Friday.
Brussow back in action – Heinrich Brussow will make his return to Super Rugby against the Lions this weekend.
Sias Ebersohn will start at flyhalf while Andries Strauss has been named captain for the Cheetahs' clash with the Lions. Naas Olivier has been dropped to the bench after some poor performances in the first three rounds.

We have seen that considering the interests of those in our professional circle requires us to take into account the interests of people outside the group, because the professions exist to serve all of society. But how much farther does the moral circle extend? If we adopt a consequentialist theory and understand the good to be happiness or the satisfaction of categorical interests, then it seems the ethically right act will always be the one that maximizes these things. But who has these things? Who can be happy? Who has categorical interests? Surely our dogs and cats are capable of pain and pleasure, and they certainly seem capable of being happy or sad. Should our actions take their interests into account? If adopting a policy, P, could make a few people very happy but at the expense of making many animals suffer helplessly, should we adopt P? How would we decide?
Utilitarians hold that the interests of all sentient beings must be taken into account in our moral calculations. Furthermore, to the extent that such individuals will exist in the future, their interests must also be considered. We should look not only beyond our own group to all humans. We should also expand our horizons to include other species and future generations.
