Staff report
October 23, 2013
The 23rd annual Chili Cook Off will highlight the weekend in Downtown LaGrange Saturday from 1 to 5 p.m.
The event is sponsored by the Downtown LaGrange Development Authority and in the past has drawn more than 1,500 people to Lafayette Square. It is a fun, family friendly event and is a great way for local groups to raise funds and increase public awareness about their charities and causes.
Members of the community will purchase a $5 ticket for the chance to sample a variety of chili and cast a vote for their favorite. Chef Henry Menard of Kimble's Food by Design and Jeremy McCosh, food service director at LaGrange College, will be serving as Chili Cook Off judges this year to select the Best Overall Chili winner.
The first-place winner will receive a cash prize of $200, second place earning a $100 prize. There is also the opportunity for cook off participants to earn prize money for the Best Decorated Booth and the People's Choice award for Best Chili. All cook off entrants will earn some money just by participating, as the proceeds from the ticket sales will be equally divided among them, after the event expenses have been covered.
Event goers can also purchase soft drinks and lemonade during the Chili Cook Off. Mama Jama will attend the event and will pass out free children's books at her tent on the square while supplies last. Island Entertainment is providing free karaoke on the Chamber of Commerce plaza from 1 to 5 p.m.
The Downtown LaGrange Development Authority has opened the event up to local groups and organizations in the community that have a cause that they would like to raise funds for. Last year's winners – Dr. Bill Miller Orthodontics, which won judges' choice, and Beall's Plumbing, which won people's choice – for best chili will be competing again this year. Some of the other groups and their sponsors participating this year include Emmaus Shelter, sponsored by LaGrange Banking Company; Troup County Prevention Coalition, sponsored by Twin Cedars; Harmony House, sponsored by Charter Bank; Delta Sigma Theta alumnae; United Way, sponsored by PNC Bank; Hope for a Day, sponsored by Titlebucks; DASH for LaGrange; and West Georgia Hospice, sponsored by Island Entertainment.
In case of rain, the cook off will be rescheduled to 1 to 5 Sunday.
Trick or Treat around the square
Several downtown merchants along with local industrial suppliers, businesses and a motorcycle riding club will be handing out Halloween candy Saturday to children in costume, ages 12 and under. There will be candy stations along the sidewalk on the north side of LaFayette Square.
Candy will be provided by Camp Academia, Kia Motors Manufacturing Georgia, PowerTech, GAPS, Glovis Georgia, Mobis, JC Malone and Laurel Crossing Apartments.
The Guardian motorcycle riding club will be on East Lafayette Square and will pass out candy next to their bikes. They will have a few fall festival games for the children to enjoy as well.
The event is limited to children only. Trick or Treating will be 1 to 3 p.m., or while candy supplies last.
Halloween costume contest
This is an event for children ages 12 and under. There will be four age brackets and ribbons will be awarded for the best boy and girl costume in each bracket beginning with infants less than 12 months of age, ages 1 to 4, ages 5 to 9 and ages 10 to 12. Children must register for the contest at the registration tent on the square between 1 and 3 p.m. The contest will begin at 3 p.m.
Costumed pet parade and contest
The LaGrange Troup County Humane Society will be holding a costumed pet contest and will be registering participants on Lafayette Square from 1 to 3 p.m.
The pet costume contest will begin after the children's costume contest, around 4:30 p.m.

When drilling down from the project dashboard, the resource viewer is the ultimate place to view detailed information on a given resource: file or unit tests file. The power of the tool comes from the fact that the resources can be viewed according to different axes of quality.
Viewing Source Code
When drilling down into measures, you will eventually reach the file level and will be able to browse the source code.
Sonar is shipped with 6 default tabs. Depending on the plugins you have installed, other tabs may be displayed.
Source Tab
This tab displays source code with highlighted syntax.
To display the new/modified source code or view the last committers, you need to install the SCM Activity Plugin.
Coverage Tab
The Coverage tab displays the source code decorated with information about code coverage (by unit tests and/or integration tests).
In the source code:
- The first column displays the number of unit tests covering the line (available since Sonar 3.5, was the number of hits by unit tests in versions prior to 3.5)
- The second one displays the number of covered conditions by unit tests out of the total number of conditions to cover
The features described below are available since Sonar 3.5.
When clicking on a figure displayed in the first column, the unit tests covering this specific line are listed:
When selecting Per test > Covered lines in the second dropdown list, a third dropdown list appears. In this latter list, it is possible to select a specific unit test. Then, only lines covered by this unit test are displayed in the source code viewer:
Violations Tab
The Violations tab displays violations with their related reviews directly in the source code.
The violations to display can be filtered by coding rule, severity, etc.
Thanks to the Time changes... list box, you can only display new violations that have been added for a timespan. See Differential Views for more information.
Only the source code around the violations is displayed. If necessary for investigation purpose, you can display the full source code by ticking the Full source box.
You can directly manage the violations and their related reviews: comment, assign, link o an action plan, etc. See Violations and Reviews for more information.
Duplications Tab
The Duplications tab shows every duplicated chunk of code within a class and the name of the other class it is duplicated with.
See Duplications for more information.
Dependencies Tab
The Dependencies tab shows all incoming and outgoing dependencies on the file:
LCOM4 Tab
The LCOM4 tab shows blocks of resources within a class that have tight relationship. Having more that one block here probably means that the class is assuming more than one responsibility.
Viewing Unit Tests File
When drilling down into unit tests execution measures, you will eventually reach the unit test class level:
Source Tab
This tab simply displays the source code of your unit test class:
Tests Tab
This tab displays the result of the unit tests belonging to the unit tests class.
In case the test failed or was in error, the reason of the issue can be viewed.
Violations Tab
This tab displays the violations on the unit tests:

LIMA, Peru Seven employees of Portland-based Columbia Helicopters were killed in a Monday crash in a jungle area of Peru, including pilot DanImmel, of WashingtonState.
Peruvian authorities say the heavy-lift chopper crashed Monday after taking off from the provincial capital of Pucallpa.
Pilot Dann Immel flew for logging companies and on firefighting efforts across the Northwest and the country before working with Columbia Helicopters.
He was a great pilot, husband and father, Immel's wife Nancy said. Safety came first before anything he did. He never compromised that.
Columbia Helicopters president Michael Fahey identified the helicopter as a Boeing Model 234 tandem rotor, the civilian version of the military Chinook. No passengers were on the chopper, which was involved in supporting petroleum exploration.
This is a very sad day for Columbia Helicopters, Fahey said in a statement. We may operate globally, but we are still very much a family. The loss of our employees hurts deeply, and I knew most of these men personally. Our employees are grieving, and we are praying for the family members of the friends we lost.
He said a team of company investigators has gone to Peru to work closely with authorities and witnesses.
Local police official Miguel Cardoso said Tuesday morning that three bodies have been so far been recovered. He says it appears all of the victims had jumped from the chopper.
We ll do everything we can to determine the cause of the accident and remedy anything we become aware of, Fahey said. If there is anything and we ll facilitate all of the programs to assist with grief counseling and benefits and life insurance and all those sorts of things so the families know they are in our care.
Fahey identified the employees who died as:
Dann Immel, Command Pilot (hometown: Gig Harbor, WA)
Igor Castillo, Copilot (Peru)
Edwin Cordova, Maintenance Crew Chief (Melbourne, FL)
Luis Ramos, Aircraft Mechanic (Peru)
Jaime Pickett, Aircraft Mechanic (Clarksville, TN)
Darrel Birkes, Senior Load Manager (Peru)
Leon Bradford, Load Manager (Santaquin, UT)

BAYBORO — An information meeting on wind energy with representatives from the U.S. Marine Corps is scheduled Wednesday, Feb. 6 during a joint session of the Pamlico County commissioners and planning board.
The proposed project area is east of N.C. 306 near Grantsboro and north of Bayboro in open farm land and timber areas.
The commissioners turned the matter over to the planning board to work on an ordinance covering such an industry.
Representatives of Cherry Point air station and the regional command for Marine installations on the East Coast will be at the meeting in the commissioners room in the county courthouse.
Tyler Harris, the community plans and liaison officer at Cherry Point air station, said military speakers would include representatives of the regional MCI East - Marine Corps Installations.
Mike Evers is the deputy director of the MCI East Governmental and External Relations. Dave Plummer is the MCI East Regional Airspace coordinator.
"We are going to talk about the effects of wind turbines and the mission of Cherry Point in the
Harris said the military did not request the meeting. He also said Cherry Point had issued no official stance on wind turbine energy farms.
"Our position is to work with wind farms and to find ways to mitigate the co-existence of both," he said. "We have no position on any specific one or ones that are in question in
In January, Allies for Cherry Point's Tomorrow (ACT) approved a resolution in support of proposed regulations for potential wind turbine and tall structures in the area.
That comes during
During the Jan. 22 Pamlico commissioners meeting to set the Wednesday presentation, Pamlico Commissioner Paul Delamar
He categorized it as a method by a few opponents of windmills to provide negative influence on what he said was a potential industry for the county.
Wind Capital Group spokesmen told the commissioners last year that land owners would make money leasing the space for the windmills and that construction and subsequent operations would create jobs and provide tax revenues to the county.

Big day for Cascade's Dobson at Eason Invite
Junior wins three events, sets school hurdles record
Genna Martin / The Herald
Cascade High School's Kaleb Dobson (left) beats Ballard's Thomas Stuart (center) and Arlington's Jared Alskog in a prelimnary heat of the men's 110-meter high hurdles Saturday at the Larry Eason Invitational. He won the preliminary with a personal best time of 14.62 seconds and then went on to win the event in a school-record time of 14.48 seconds. In addition to the 110-meter high hurdles, Dobson won the 300-meter intermediate hurdles and the long jump.
Kaleb Dobson of Cascade turned in a big performance anyway.
Dobson placed first in the long jump, the 300-meter intermediate hurdles and the 110 high hurdles -- the latter in school-record time -- to become the top individual winner at Saturday's Larry Eason Invitational track and field meet at Snohomish High School.
Dobson began his day with a personal best of 14.62 seconds in his 110 hurdles preliminary heat, and then came back and ran 14.48 in the finals to break a Cascade record that had stood for seven years. He followed up with a leap of 21 feet, 11/2 inches to win the long jump, and then capped his day by winning the 300 hurdles in 40.46.
"I think I performed well, although I always hope for better," said Dobson, a junior. "I always try to push myself to do better than I know I can. I thought I did well even though there's always room for improvement."
The highlight, he said, was definitely the 110 hurdles because he claimed a school record at mid-season of his junior year. "I'm very proud of my 110 hurdle race," he said.
Dobson's showing drew high praise from his coaches, who realize what a special talent he is.
"The kid had a fantastic day," said Bruins head coach Chris Crockett. "He was really excited about this meet and it showed. His goal was to win all three events today, and then he went out and did it.
"For a junior, stepping up this way, it's just going to be exciting to see where he can go from here," Crockett added.
Cascade assistant coach Greg Font, who coaches Dobson in the long jump, said his athlete "has great potential to do even better. He's only a junior, but he's still growing, he's still getting faster, he's still learning a lot and he still wants to learn a lot. And that's the great thing about him.
"I remember the day I looked in his eyes when he was a freshman and told him, 'You can do (good) things here. If you put the effort in and work hard, I'm going to try to give you all the tools and show you how to use them.' And he took that to heart," Font said.
As a sophomore, Dobson failed to place at state last spring in the 110 hurdles and the long jump "because I was kind of nervous," he said. "I wasn't really ready for (top state) competition, but I'm definitely looking to change that this year."
His performance Saturday made Dobson one of only two multiple individual winners at the Eason Invitational. The other was Gina Flint of Squalicum, who won the girls discus (156-09) and shot (44-101/4).
Dobson was also named the male track athlete of the meet. The girls track athlete of the meet was Jordyn Edwards of Lynnwood, who won the 200 (25.55) and placed second in the 100 (12.60).
Two other Wesco athletes had first- and second-place finishes. Christian Linder of Snohomish was first in the 200 (22.15) and second in the 100 (11.04), while Dan Boyden of Arlington was first in the shot (51-11) and second in the discus (157-08).
The meet's most dominating performance was turned in by the Glacier Peak girls distance medley relay team. The quartet of Mikayla Ingram, India Smith, Amy-Eloise Neale and Katie Bianchini won with a time of 12:06.40, nearly a full second better than runner-up Burlington-Edison (13:05.10).
Neale also won the 800 (2:12.00), while Bianchini won the 1,600 (5:06.90).
Another decisive victory was turned in by Arlington's Lyndsay Leatherman, who won the girls javelin with a toss of 132-10, more than 21 feet better than runnerup Mikayla Pivec of Lynnwood (111-08).

NEW ORLEANS -- Despite the rain, Carnival festivities are in full swing in the build-up to Fat Tuesday.
And on this Lundi Gras, there are several traditions, including the arrival of the king and queen of Zulu at the New Orleans riverfront.
The royalty -- Cedric and Monica Givens -- said they had been planning for this day for years.
'This is so exciting. This is just so much fun,' Cedric Givens said. 'I'm enjoying it.'
The potential for rain threatened the event, but the king and queen said they were thrilled crowds turned out and that showers didn't put a damper on the day.
'It puzzled me for a little while, but I'm so excited it held up for us right now,' said Cedric Givens.
Monica Givens said, 'Like I said earlier today, as long as it doesn't mess with our spirit and our heart, we will still be here.'

New normal: This is the way government works now
Don't like the mess that led to Tuesday's government shutdown? Nothing's going to change anytime soon.
DC works overtime on blame with shutdown less than 24 hours away
As the nation careened closer towards a government shutdown Tuesday, the political protagonists traded blame Sunday over whose fault it will be if federal-salaried workers are furloughed and some federal services are shuttered.
Both sides threaten government shutdown Tuesday over Obamacare
Defiant Republicans and determined Democrats on Friday pressed toward a showdown over how and whether to keep the federal government running past Monday night, with each side signaling that it would let the government close before compromising over the fate of the new national health care law.
As Ted Cruz ends protest, Senate votes 100-0 to take up budget bill
After a marathon day and night of talking, the Senate moved Wednesday toward a budget plan that would keep the government open past a Monday night deadline while maintaining funding for the new health care law.
Senate moves toward showdown vote on Obamacare
The Senate is expected to take a key vote Wednesday that would smooth the path for an eventual showdown over President Barack Obama's health care plan, but the midday vote is likely to inflame a raging war within the Republican Party.
Republican move could kill Obamacare or the GOP
Republicans will proclaim solidarity Friday when the House of Representatives votes to defund the 2010 health care law. Don't be fooled:
N.C. lawmakers are in the thick of Capitol Hill budget showdown
North Carolina congressmen are helping lead a pack of emboldened conservatives pushing Republican leadership toward a potential government shutdown over the 2010 health care law and, in the process, are driving a wedge between the GOP's old and new guard.
Showdown: House will tie government funding to defunding Obamacare
President Barack Obama and congressional Republicans on Wednesday began hurtling toward an unpredictable collision over the federal budget, as the House of Representatives planned to vote to strip money from the national health care law while the White House readied plans for a government shutdown...
2014 election campaign is underway in battle for control of Congress
Voters may not see the yard signs, but the 2014 election campaign is well underway. Congress is taking "test votes" that are more props for future TV ads than serious governing. Interest groups are raising millions to buy the TV ads that will flood the airwaves next fall. And potential candidates...
Poll: Voters reject airstrikes, question Obama's leadership
When President Barack Obama addresses the nation Tuesday in his bid for airstrikes against Syria, he will confront the most unfriendly political landscape of his presidency, one where opposition knows no boundaries and Democrats, Republicans, whites, blacks, Hispanics, old, young, men and women ...

Sometimes I have no choice but to confirm how weird I am. Especially when it comes to what moves me, including in my choices of music. It wasn't hard for me to become a Michael Bolton fan when his first solo album dropped in '87. "That's What Love Is All About," a minor hit, was something I enjoyed then, but appreciate much more now as a married man than I possibly could've as a freshman at Pitt. "Sittin' on the Dock of the Bay," well, that's another story. It's a fine cover version (something that Bolton grew all too fond of doing in the late-'90s), but nothing will ever replace the Otis Redding original.
("Crazy" — I'll talk about more in another post), Lenny Kravitz ("It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over"), Vanessa Williams ("Comfort Zone"), and Mariah Carey ("Make It Happen"). Not to mention PE ("Can't Truss It"), Naughty By Nature (O.P.P.), and Boyz II Men. It was the beginning of a new period of music experimentation for me, all caused by me tiring of being the odd wheel in a sea of dating friends.

Amerell's 21 Kills Leads Women's Volleyball to 3-2 Knock Out of Mount Olive
September 24, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. Led by Kim Amerells (Lynchburg, VA) match-high 21 kills, Pfeiffer University shot down Mount Olive College 3-2 (22-25, 25-20, 25-7, 21-25, 15-13) in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Saturday afternoon inside the Merner Gym. Pfeiffer improves to 5-5 overall, 2-1 in league play, while the Trojans, who suffered their second-straight five-set loss in as many nights committing 66 errors, fall to 4-9, 1-5.
In the fifth and decisive set, a rare Lady Falcon service error set up a 6-3 advantage for Mount Olive playing to 15. After three-straight kills by Amerell, Pfeiffer had clawed their way back into the set forcing a Trojan timeout. Both teams would trade five leads in and nine ties throughout the decider. Kelly Lancellot (Naples, FL) and Amerell battled to give Pfeiffer a 14-12 match point lead as a Carly White (Ash, NC) kill and subsequent service error gave the Lady Falcons a 15-13 set and 3-2 match win.
Two hours earlier in the afternoon, the Trojans registered a three-point opening set win for a 1-0 match lead to start the day. Up 22-21, White would put down one of her 16 kills on the afternoon followed by an ace to help aid Mount Olive to the win as the final point came on a Talita Rocha (Contagem, BRAZIL) kill. Pfeiffer never had the lead back after a 7-6 advantage early on.
The Lady Falcons came stomping back in the second racing out to a 7-2 lead on three more Mount Olive miscues and service ace by Colleen Wands (Apex, NC). A later kill by Amerell pushed the lead to 19-12 before picking up three more kills in a four-play span for a 22-17 advantage. Kelsey Blauser (Round Rock, TX) and Milana Mervosh (Roebuck, SC) would pick up the sets final kills to even the match at one apiece.
The third set belonged entirely to Pfeiffer in a 25-7 dominating win that started by a 12-0 run. Meghan Davis (Fulton, MO) served up the first dozen points getting four aces and two kills by Lancellot, coupled with another vast variety of Trojan errors. Lancellot and Amerell continued to roll midway through the set while Cate Glendenning (Holly Springs, NC) and Taylor Houser (Mount Holly, NC) put up two more of Pfeiffers 12 aces for a 2-1 match lead.
To force a fifth and deciding set, Mount Olive came back from the terrible loss in set three to post a four-point, 25-21 win in the fourth. Like much of the afternoon, both teams went back-and-forth as the Trojans, down 20-18, use a kill from Dezirae Mackey (San Antonio, TX) and ace by Lauren Lee (Mount Olive, NC) to knot the contest 20-all. After White and Amerell traded kills to make it 21-21, two Pfeiffer errors, an ace by Charnel Austin (Ramstein, GERMANY) and kill by White set up the dramatic fifth set.
Amerell was the only Lady Falcon to post double-digit kills as Pfeiffer used 12 players in the match, five of which were reserves. Glendenning assisted a match-high 41 times while Wands led the way with 13 digs off the bench. Houser followed one back of Wands with a dozen digs.
White led the way for Mount Olive posting 16 kills followed by Mackeys 12. Austin picked up 39 assists while Lee posted 16 kills. Pfeiffer also defeated Mount Olive in the departments of hitting percentage, aces and blocks to aid in the five-set win.
Pfeiffer returns to conference and east division action on Tuesday night hosting Coker inside the Merner Gym. First serve will fly at 7:00 p.m. with live stats and video available through http://www.gofalconsports.com.

TRENTON — It wasn't Destini's having the same last name as pro boxerMike Tyson that sparked her interest in the sport's former star — it was when she saw a tape of the heavyweight biting Evander Holyfield's ear during the notorious match in 1997.
Without any boxing facilities in the area, Jones Senior High School sophomore Destini Tyson is unable to begin participation in the sport. It's an activity she's always wanted to be part of.
But with the help of a cable television network, Tyson can possible be 'Made' into a boxer.
MTV visited Jones Senior this week looking to cast teenagers on its TV show "Made," a reality show that follows around youth as they get a taste of what their dream will be like. Jones County was selected when a casting director decided to scope around for schools while on a trip in Jacksonville. MTV visits hundreds of other schools in much larger cities.
"Who gets an opportunity like this?" Tyson asked. "This is once-in-a-lifetime in this little town in Jones County."
A small group of about 15 gathered in the gymnasiumafter school Thursday to interview for a slot on the 13th season — or at least a slim chance at that chance.
"It may be a long shot that we get selected," Jones Senior Principal Chris Meadows. "They do have a process of visiting schools, but at least that we had the opportunity. I think (it) says a lot about where Jones County has come from and we continue to get recognition."
A couple of weeks ago, Meadows received an email from an MTV producers asking if the school would be interested in the visit. When it was cleared by the county's Board of Education, the buzz grew around campus and through social media.
"From the time I announced it, kids were just super excited," Meadows said. "Even the ones who didn't come (to the casting call), I think they were just excited that MTV was coming to Jones County."
Although a small group, no student was turned away from the chance. They submitted questionnaire forms and some of them prepared headshots for the interview. A couple of parents, teachers and Jones Senior administrative staff members waited in the new gym with students vying for a spot on the show.
Tyler Metts, a Jones Senior junior and aspiring hip-hop artist, was the first up.
"I was kinda nervous for a second," he said after interviewing. "I was actually her first one, so I gave her a high-five. I hope everything is positive, (as far as) what she thinks about me, what everybody thinks."
He socialized with his peer Marques Bryant, a senior who is in the same music group as Metts.
"I think it's great for the kids in our county to be able to come," said Bryant, who hopes to be "Made" into a rapper. "Even if no one else believes in you, it's an opportunity to chase your dreams and not let anyone hold you back."
The Jones Senior auditions will be stored and reviewed with thousands of others by MTV executives in New York once the casting recruitment completes.
"This just intensifies all of the excitement that we already have here with academics and athletics," Meadows said. "This is just another way to show the rest of the world what Jones County is and what our students can do."

"Premature optimization is root of all evil" is something almost all of us have heard/read. What I am curious what kind of optimization not premature, i.e. at every stage of software development (high level design, detailed design, high level implementation, detailed implementation etc) what is extent of optimization we can consider without it crossing over to dark side.
When you're basing it off of experience? Not evil. "Every time we've done X, we've suffered a brutal performance hit. Let's plan on either optimizing or avoiding X entirely this time."
When it's relatively painless? Not evil. "Implementing this as either Foo or Bar will take just as much work, but in theory, Bar should be a lot more efficient. Let's Bar it."
When you're avoiding crappy algorithms that will scale terribly? Not evil. "Our tech lead says our proposed path selection algorithm runs in factorial time; I'm not sure what that means, but she suggests we commit seppuku for even considering it. Let's consider something else."
The evil comes from spending a whole lot of time an energy solving problems that you don't know actually exist. When the problems definitely exist, or when the phantom psudo-problems may be solved cheaply, the evil goes away.
Edit: Steve314 and Matthieu M. raise points in the comments that ought be considered. Basically, some varieties of "painless" optimizations simply aren't worth it either because the trivial performance upgrade they offer isn't worth the code obfuscation, they're duplicating enhancements the compiler is already performing, or both. See the comments for some nice examples of too-clever-by-half non-improvements.
Application code should only be as good as necessary, but library code should be as good as possible, since you never know how your library is going to be used. So when you're writing library code, it needs too be good in all aspects, be it performance, robustness, or any other category.
Also, you need to think about performance when you design your application and when you pick algorithms. If it isn't designed to be performant, no degree of hackery can make it performant afterwards and no micro-optimizations will outweigh a superior algorithm.
The kind that come as a result of known issues.
You should always choose a "good enough" solution in all cases based on your experiences.
The optimization saying refers to writing "more complex code than 'good enough' to make it faster" before actually knowing that it is necessary, hence making the code more complex than necessary. Complexity is what makes things hard, so that isn't a good thing.
This means that you should not choose a super complex "can sort 100 Gb files by transparently swapping to disk" sorting routine when a simple sort will do, but you should also make a good choice for the simple sort in the first place. Blindly choosing Bubble Sort or "pick all entries randomly and see if they are in order. Repeat." is rarely good.
The full quote defines when optimization is not premature:
You can identify critical code in many ways: critical data structures or algorithms (e.g. used heavily or the "core" of the project) can give major optimizations, many minor optimizations are identified through profilers, and so on.
When you have tests to make sure you don't break anything.
In my experience, at the detailed implementation phase the answer lies in profiling the code. Its important to know what needs to be faster and what is acceptably fast.
It is also important to know where exactly the performance bottleneck is - optimizing a part of the code which takes only 5% of the total time to run wont do any good.
Steps 2 and 3 describe non-premature optimization:
My general rule of thumb: if you're not sure you'll need the optimization, assume you don't. But keep it in mind for when you do need to optimize. There are some issues that you can know about up front though. This usually involves choosing good algorithms and data structures. For instance, if you need to check membership in a collection, you can be pretty sure you will need some type of set data structure.
It's not optimisation when picking things that are hard to change eg: hardware platform.
Picking data structures is a good example - critical to meeting both functional and non-functional (performance) requirements. Not easily changed and yet it will drive everything else in your app. Your data structures change what algorithms are available etc.

Pinar Karsiyaka have narrowly avoided a dangerous case of déjà vu, holding on to defeat Paris Levallois 72-66 in game 2 of their best-of-three EuroChallenge quarter-final play-off series.
After capitulating at the end of their game at home on Tuesday, Pinar Karsiyaka were in danger of repeating the feat in Paris on Thursday, allowing their hosts to come back from 13 points in arrears with less than four minutes remaining to be within four points with 21 seconds to play, on the back of an Antoine Diot and Julius Hodge-inspired run.
Trailing 64-51, Diot started the comeback with a three-pointer, Hodge picked up five points in the middle, whilst Diot ended it with a two-point jump shot with the score at 70-66.
However, a late free throw each to Robert Dixon and William Thomas allowed Pinar Karsiyaka live to see another day in Europe.
Pinar Karsiyaka took the lead outright with the final points of the first quarter and would be leading by as much as 20 points early in the second half but an inability to once more put the game away will be something that will need to be addressed prior to game 3 next Tuesday.
Abdul Aminu and Thomas dominated scoring for Pinar Karsiyaka, scoring 24 and 22 points respectively whilst no other member of their team would surpass seven points.
For the home side, Hodge justified his return to the team with a team-best 18 points, alongside six boards.
Pinar Karsiyaka player William Thomas
"We played great offence and great defence on the first three quarters, and then Paris picked up energy, started to hit more shots. We are very happy to take this game and have a third game coming and the opportunity to go to the Final Four."
Pinar Karsiyaka coach Ufuk Sarica
"We are very happy to have this many supporters that came from all over Europe and from Turkey to support us. It played a great role in tonight's win!"
Paris Levallois player Julius Hodge
"We showed a lot of fight and a lot of character. We were 20 points behind in the 3rd quarter and we came back. We are going to take that with us in our next trip to Turkey on Tuesday!"
Paris Levallois coach Christope Denis
"We fought hard in the last quarter. My only regret is that we didn't fight that hard in the first quarter. But this team without Sean May and Jawad Williams showed a lot of character and I am proud of that. No matter what happens, no matter what the scenario of the game is on Tuesday, I know my team will never give up. They will fight until the last second."

Ali and Ricky are two-time adopters from the ASPCA Adoption Center in Manhattan. After bringing home a snuggly pup named Ruby, they decided she needed a furry companion. That's when they met a cat named Hummus, and their family of three became four. Ali shared the following story with us:
We decided to adopt Ruby three years ago because we wanted a dog to complete our family. I was adamant about rescuing a pup in need, so my first choice was the ASPCA! We visited the Adoption Center and looked at all of the dogs There was something about Ruby that was special—and we kept coming back to her over and over again. Within five minutes of playing with her, I was sold. It was an instant connection.
We had to wait until the next day to come pick her up, and that was the longest night ever! We loved her already and couldn't wait to get her home. Since then, Ruby has done nothing but snuggle with us, love us, and pretend she's a two-pound lap dog. She is everything we ever wanted and more!
A few weeks ago we decided it would be awesome to have another little addition. We decided that she might like a buddy in the form of a cat, as she is very gentle with them. I went to the ASPCA once more because my experience with Ruby was so awesome. We soon found Hummus, and it didn't take long to realize this little guy was going to be a great fit in our home!
We were afraid that Ruby might be a little too hyper for Hummus as she can be a real lover at times, but it took only a day or two for her to adjust and begin to love him as one of her own. Sometimes we find them snuggling together, or find Ruby grooming Hummus like one of her pups! They love each other, and Ruby has definitely stepped up to the plate as an awesome big sister.
Ruby is a dream come true and Hummus is such a wonderful new addition to our family. He quickly found his way into our hearts. We are so thankful to the ASPCA for bringing these two amazing animals into our home and family. They see us through tears, joy, and everything in between! Words will never be able to say how much they give us.
Have you adopted a pet from the ASPCA? Email us your story at [email protected], and we might feature it on the blog!

I loved the sweet story about Ruby and Hummus. I even shed a couple of tears of joy for their happiness and companionship.
We have 3 cats & 2 dogs who get along quite well together. They weren't all brought together as babies: Baby, our oldest cat is 17 1/2 years old. He fell out from under a car bumper, & my son chased him through the neighborhood & up a pin tree shirtless. Baby had disappeared for 3 wks, so we went to the dog pound and found Patches, age 12, who was due to be put down. Lilbit is 8 & came to us injured by people doing drugs: Tail broken in 4 places, injured spine & cut whiskers to name a few. Muffy, our 3 year old Border Collie mix came to us after being dumped in a raging blizzard in 2010. She had been abused & was afraid of everything, especially looking me in the eye. She is my Spirit mate, going everywhere from Rendezvous to Nursing Homes, she does tricks & gives smiles & love, afraid of no one. Then, Peanut came to us from my best friend, the only one of our crowd who isn't a rescue. She weighs less than 3 lbs., a chihuahua with all the attitude of a pit. Gotta love them all; they are indeed gifts to my life.
I remember when I was a kid we got a Siamese kitten, Charlie Chan. When they first met, Charlie hissed and scratched at Shag, the dog. Shag backed off and left Charlie alone. Finally one day Charlie bonded with Shag. They even slept together sometimes!
Beautiful story. All 3 of my wonderful cats are rescued. We love them so much. What amazing love and companionship they bring. I believe to make adoption your first and only option.
What a wonderful story. Wish more people can do the same and give this animals a loving home they deserve. :-)

A friend, a chef, decided to test the popular opinion that everything is better with bacon, or with butter, or deep-fried. So he took a stick of butter, wrapped it in bacon, battered it, and dropped it in the deep frier.
The results were... disappointing.
Deep fried butter is a staple at many of the US state fairs.
The trick is to take a frozen stick of butter.
As for bacon, you need to pre-fry it before you batter it. Cut a stick of wood just slightly bigger a stick of butter, wrap the bacon around it, and fry it (including three tilts).
Then slide out the wooden stick, slide in a frozen butter stick, dip it in batter, flour and batter again, and deep fry it.
Let it cool slightly, then serve it Nyotaimori style.

Is there some sort of memorial for some people or something ?
Not really. Like most American holidays (e.g. Labor Day, Presidents Day, MLK Day, Memorial Day, etc.), Thanksgiving has lost most meaning beyond an excuse to get together with family and eat a bunch of good food.
Not that there's anything wrong with that. The original meaning has to do with some colonists who were rescued by some of the natives. This being a country of immigrants, most families' histories have about as much to do with the original Thanksgiving as they do with Yom Kippur. If it weren't for the traditional big meal with the family, I suspect Thanksgiving would join May Day on the list of holidays Americans no longer give a shit about.

You're pretty much describing Christmas Day here in the UK. Very little overt religious sentiment, just back to the original solstice celebration.
I am curious though. When did the US start celebrating "Happy Holidays"? It's meaningless. European levels of Christianity are far lower than the US, but we've no problems calling it by its proper name, even though most (including myself) would never worship in a church from one year to another,

Pretty Gown A beautiful little nightie. The fabric is thin, but has a sturdy weave. It is very comfortable, and will be perfect for hot summer nights. My only complaint is that there are a lot of untrimmed threads hanging from the buttons, and some seams. It looks unfinished, and unprofessional. May 19, 2015
Great nightgown. Great product. I ordered one for my sister and my niece. December 2, 2014

Field Vehicle Fleet Management in Humanitarian Operations: A Case-Based Approach
2011, Journal of Operations Management
A. J. Pedraza Martinez, O. Stapleton, L. N. Van Wassenhove
Transportation is the second largest overhead cost to humanitarian organizations after personnel. Academic knowledge about fleet management in humanitarian operations is scarce. Using a multiple case research design we study Field Vehicle Fleet Management (Field VFM) in four large International Humanitarian Organizations (IHO): the International Committee of the Red Cross, the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the World Food Program and World Vision International. Our field research includes more than 40 interviews at headquarters, regional and national level in Africa, the Middle East and Europe. The paper answers three research questions: (1) How do IHO manage their field vehicle fleets? (2) What are the critical factors affecting IHO Field VFM? (3) How does Field VFM affect in-country program delivery? The contribution of this research is twofold. First, it helps to fill the existing gap in the humanitarian literature regarding Field VFM. Second, it expands the fleet management literature to a new and virtually unexplored area.

Perry Tyndall wants his players to focus on the future, but the past is hard to ignore.
Especially when there's a run of titles to continue.
Kinston's boys basketball team opens Eastern Plains 2A Conference play tonight at Wilson Beddingfield, and the Vikings do so with six consecutive regular season league crowns in their back pocket.
The defending state 2A champion has finished first in the league each year since 2007, dating back to the old Eastern Carolina 3A. The string of first-place finishes has also led to six straight conference tournament titles and regional championship game appearances.
Tyndall, in his first year as a varsity head coach but was an assistant for all six previous titles, knows there's a streak to keep alive but he's not looking to the past for the answers. He's looking ahead.
"We have goals. We of course want to win our conference and you want to win the conference tournament and you want to win your sectional to get to the regionals, and if you win your regional then you're playing for a state championship. So you have individual goals along the way," Tyndall said. "It's been remarkable to win that many (championships) and is pretty amazing to continue to have success but we can't live in the past. Each team creates its own identity every year."
The first opponent in line to try and end the Vikings' dominance is a nemesis that has gave them fits for years.
The Bruins (3-3) may have lost five in a row to Kinston (5-0) and 11 of their last 12 meetings, but the Vikings have had to earn each one of those wins.
Tyndall knows Beddingfield will give his team everything it has and more when they clash tonight for the first time since Kinston defeated the Bruins 64-53 in last year's 2A Eastern Regional semifinals.
"Beddingfield's a good team year-in and year-out. Our conference is extremely tough. You've got to be ready to play in our conference. Even with the success we've had sometimes that comes with a bull's eye," Tyndall said. "You've got to be prepared for everybody's best shot, and Beddingfield is a good team. They've given us some really good games in the past. It's a tough place to play. They've got a lot of athletes.
"This is step one in going ahead and making a statement going into conference," he added.
"We know we've got a tough opponent, we know it's going to be a tough place to play. We've just got to go out and execute."
Today may be the first step in winning an unprecedented seventh straight conference championship for a program steeped in tradition. But it's what Kinston is doing now, not six seasons ago, that will determine that fate, Tyndall believes.
"Just based on what we've done early we've got to continue to do better. We've got to value the basketball, just from an in-game perspective, and just keep the mindset of playing as smart as we can," he said.
"Ultimately the end result's going to come when you do the little things, and all the things that we've practiced. The success will take care of itself."

|Nancy Sarratt, RN Receives the August DAISY Award
Congratulations to Nancy Sarratt, RN who is the DAISY Award recipient for August, 2009. Nancy works in the NICU.
The DAISY Award is presented monthly to an All Children's Hospital Nurse that has provided extraordinary service to our patients.
Nancy is graduate of the University of Missouri. She has been a nurse at All Children's for 13 years.
The nurse that nominated Nancy for the award said, "I am a nurse at All Children's Hospital. But last month, I was just another mom when my 2-day-old baby was transferred to the All Children's Hospital NICU. I had always heard how good our NICU was and now I can personally vouch that this is true."
"Watching Nancy care for our baby, I could tell that she truly poured her love out into her work. I was able to go home at night and rest assured that Nancy was loving our daughter and just providing her with wonderful care that only someone who truly loves their job can do. We were facing decisions about our daughter that no parent should ever have to face. But Nancy's kindness and compassion was so comforting and calming during this time."
Congratulations Nancy on a job well done!
