Potential jurors are randomly selected from driver's license, state ID, and voter registration records. The length of jury service depends on the county in which a juror lives, but cannot exceed four months. Jurors receive a summons that tells them to appear at the courthouse for jury service.
When a jury case is called, court administrators randomly choose potential jurors and send them to a courtroom for interviews, known as voir dire [vwahr deer]. In the courtroom, you will learn more about the case and be questioned by the judge and attorneys so they may determine whether you are qualified to serve. Depending on the type of case or the procedures used in your county, you may be questioned individually or in a group. If you feel you should not serve as a juror, or if you know the parties, witnesses or attorneys involved in the case, tell the judge and attorneys as soon as possible.
During the interview, an attorney may challenge for cause if the attorney feels that a potential juror cannot be fair and impartial. The judge must then decide whether to allow the challenge and excuse the juror. Attorneys may also excuse a juror by using a peremptory challenge, which does not require the attorney to give a reason for excusing a juror. Do not take offense if you are challenged. This is a normal part of voir dire.
If you are not excused, you will become a member of the jury and will take an oath before hearing the case. In criminal cases, alternate jurors may be assigned to a case.

The Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that real gross domestic product (GDP) grew at an annualized rate of 2.5% during the 1st-quarter 2013 following near zero growth of 0.4% in the 4th-quarter 2012. Over the past 4 quarters real GDP has increased by a meager 1.8%.
Since the end of the "Great Recession" in the 2nd-quarter 2009 real GDP has grown by a total of 8.3% or at an annualized rate of 2.1%. The current recovery continues to rank as the weakest post-World War II recovery in terms of real economic growth. The average total growth in real GDP over a comparable 15 quarters for other post-World War II recoveries was 17.8% or an annualized growth rate of 4.4%. Real GDP has increased by just over $1.0 trillion (2005$) since the end of the recession. This is less than half the nearly $2.3 trillion (2005$) that an average recovery would have produced putting the current recovery's growth gap compared to average at $1.2 trillion (2005$).
The report was not only weak, but an artificially depressed report on 4th-quarter GDP had the effect of making growth during the current quarter look artificially "strong." In his comments on the report, Chairman Brady noted, " The bounce back in today's report also reflects an artificially depressed fourth quarter report driven by a shift of defense spending from the fourth quarter into third quarter of 2012. Without that shift, today's report would have shown real GDP increasing by only 1.9%."
Real Defense Consumption for services during the first and second quarters averaged $195.5 billion (2005$). In the third quarter, those expenditures jumped to an annualized $216.5 billion (2005$) before declining to $174.3 billion (2005$) in the fourth quarter. Those two quarters was $195.4 billion (2005$). Eliminating this apparent timing shift would result in lowering third quarter 2012 real GDP by $21.1 billion (2005$) and raising fourth quarter 2012 GDP by a corresponding amount.
The increase in real GDP reflected positive contributions from personal consumption expenditures, private inventory investment, exports, residential and non-residential fixed investment that were offset by negative contributions from the government sector and an increase in imports.
Real personal consumption expenditures increased 3.2% in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 1.8% in the fourth. Many economists suggests this strong increase reflects consumer spending that resulted from individuals spending cash from the proceeds of asset sales before the end of 2012 to avoid higher tax rates in 2013.
Disappointingly, real nonresidential fixed investment, a key driver of private sector job growth, increased by just 2.1% in the first quarter, compared with an increase of 13.2% in the fourth. Nonresidential structures decreased 0.3%, in contrast to an increase of 16.7%. Equipment and software increased 3.0%, compared with an increase of 11.8%.
Real residential fixed investment increased 12.6%, compared with an increase of17.6%.
Real federal government decreased at an annual rate of 8.4% during the quarter compared to a decline of 14.8%. Real state and local government declined at a rate of 1.2% compared to a decline of 1.5% in the prior quarter.
In terms of contribution to the change in real GDP during the quarter:
Personal consumption expenditures added 2.24 percentage points, fixed nonresidential investment added 0.22 percentage points, and residential investment added 0.31 percentage points. The change in private inventory investment added 1.03 percentage points.
Net exports subtracted 0.5 percentage points. Also subtracting from the growth rate were federal government (0.65 percentage points) and state and local government (0.14 percentage points).

Cascade wins 'crazy game'
Bruins start fast, outlast Mountlake Terrace 12-9

Cascade shortstop Von Ferguson flips the ball toward second base in the seventh inning, starting a game-ending double play against Mountlake Terrace. The Bruins defeated the Hawks 12-9.

The teams combined for 21 runs and 18 hits, and looking at the final score, a 12-9 Cascade victory, it would be hard to tell that 15 of the 18 hits came from the Bruins.
But that's exactly what happened.
Aided by some erratic pitching by Cascade in the late innings, the Hawks staged a comeback that ultimately fell three runs short.
The Bruins started fast, powering to eight runs in the first two innings. Second baseman Patrick Chung started the scoring in the top of the first inning with an RBI double. The biggest hit, however, belonged to catcher Ryan Lukas, who belted a three-run home run to left field to make it 4-0.
"He got a first-pitch fastball, kind of belt-high fastball and he timed it perfect," Cascade head coach Scott Stencil said. "He put a great swing on it and the next thing you know the ball carried out. I wasn't sure when he hit it. I knew he hit it well and then all of the sudden it just kept going. That was a big hit for us because that went from 1-0 to 4-0."
Terrace closed the gap with a run in the bottom of the first, but the Bruins opened it up wider with four more runs in the top of the second. Center fielder K.J. Brady hit an RBI single, Chung and Michael Mazza each added RBI doubles and the lead jumped to 8-1 after two innings.
The third inning was scoreless, but after that brief respite, the Bruins added four more runs in the top of the fourth, led by Brady's RBI triple and Lukas' RBI single.
In danger of losing the game in five innings via the 10-run rule, the Hawks' offense came up with seven runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. Amazingly, the seven runs came on just one hit.
"It's a crazy game, things happen," Stencil said. "To get the extra at-bats is great for our hitters. And it's a good learning experience for our pitchers to come in with a big lead and try to finish the game off."
Still, Stencil admitted it would have been nice to end the game when his team had the chance.
Terrace's fifth-inning surge was powered by Cascade's wildness. Five walks and two hit batters created four runs. A three-base throwing error allowed three more runs to score, turning what looked like a blowout into an exciting finish.
Stencil had limited options to stem the Hawks' outburst. A depleted pitching staff kept him from going to the bullpen.
"I didn't have a guy," Stencil said. "I had no pitcher. The only pitcher I had was my starter from Monday and I didn't really want to use him. I didn't have anyone else warmed up. They were all on the field. So I had to trust that my guy would get out of it and we would make a play somewhere -- and we did. And if we didn't then we just would have had to battle back and score some runs."
The Hawks added another run in the bottom of the sixth to cut the deficit to three runs, but the Bruins got out of a bases-loaded jam when relief pitcher Danny Townsend struck out Chase Perez to end the inning.
Cascade escaped with the victory in the following inning when Elliot Nebel grounded into a 6-4-3 double play to end the game.
While frustrating to give up such a big lead, Stencil was happy to see his team respond to the challenge.
"We made just enough plays to hold on," he said. "I think that is a good sign of our team, coming from where we were last year when we were a little bit young and we were fortunate enough to win some games early on in the year. And now that we are kind of all back, most of our team is back this year. They've been in these situations and I expect them to just do what they do which is just keep playing the game."
Although the Hawks came up short, staying in the game and staging the comeback was a welcome sign for Mountlake Terrace coach Andrew Watters.
"My kids are a tough group," he said. "They didn't give up on the game. They easily could have. Baseball is a funny game. It's just one of those things that happens. I was happy. It was good for us to show that we can come back and compete."

Women's Tennis Extends Unbeaten Streak With Victory Over King
March 19, 2014
MISENHEIMER, NC – On the day where they were ranked 10th in the region, the Pfeiffer women's tennis team (11-0, 3-0 CC) ran its winning streak to 11 games with a dominant 5-0 win over King (7-9, 2-4) on Wednesday afternoon. The game was played to five due to a late start caused by weather.
The Falcons remained perfect with a strong showing from each member of the team. Pfeiffer swept through doubles competition effortlessly, winning by scores of 8-0, 8-3 and 8-0. The duo of Taylor Lindsay and Valeria Mendoza along with the team of Briana Oliver and Amanda Long shut out King in first and third doubles respectively.
Olivia Nelms won in straight sets in the first singles position, defeating King's top singles player Katya Cerny. Lindsay beat Naomi Reyes 6-2 and 6-0 to give the Falcons the 5-0 win. At the conclusion of the fifth game, reigning Conference Carolinas Player of the Week Mendoza was up 6-1 and 4-2 in third singles and Hannah Watson held a 1-0 lead in fourth singles.
The Falcons look to continue its torrid start to the season when they travel to Barton on Saturday afternoon. The match is set to begin at 2 p.m. in Wilson, NC.

Just a reminder that the Southern Kentucky Disc Golf Championships are less than a month away. I have witnessed many KY tournaments fill to capacity during the last week of sign ups. We receive sign ups from the PDGA once a week in "batches" and the number of sign ups in those batches will become greater the closer we get to the tournament date. We will stand firm on 72 per division (4 somes) cause that's how we roll!
We cannot take "verbal sign ups" as we have done in the past and we won't have time to take sign ups the morning of the event because we are focused on expediting play. You must preregister for this event and be a current PDGA member. Registration closes Friday evening May 20th. There will be a crew out at Nat's Outdoor Sports taking sign ups Friday afternoon and evening. Information on this event may be found here: http://hollerinthehills.com/soky-dis...-championship/
Southern Kentucky Disc Golf on Facebook
If you have pledged to sponsor a hole at our event, we need your donations before May 16th so we can get your sponsorship signs ready. More information on sponsorship may be found here: http://hollerinthehills.com/help-sponsor-our-event/
We are also looking for help during the tournament at the Holler in the form of spotters, food help or whatever. If you don't plan to play or you have some kin or a friend who can help, please let us know in advance. We would appreciate it.
There is a small motel which is two minutes from the Holler In The Hills disc golf course. The guy who owns it doesn't advertise the motel and most people think it has been converted to businesses. There are a few businesses on the lower floor but they are seldom open and never open on weekends. All the available motel rooms are on the 2nd floor. There were 5 rooms with 2 double beds and 1 room with one double bed. There are now 3 rooms with two double beds up for grabs. Each room is very clean, has cable TV, small refrigerator, microwave, bathroom and shower. The price is $40 (this includes tax and all). The owner is very adamant about "No Smoking" in the rooms. There is a balcony outside the rooms with an ashtray and a nice view. There are several places to eat nearby and a couple within a 2 minute walk. Let me know if you want a room and I will have the key at the course (Holler In The Hills). Once you commit to a room, you are on the hook for 40.00 per night. I prefer to rent the rooms to people who plan to stay more than one night. Contact Howie at 270-597-9477 or firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
There have been 77 discs retreived/found at the Holler In The Hills disc golf course. All of these discs are listed at: http://hollerinthehills.com/lost-and-found/
If you lost some plastic, you might wanna check it out.

Nature makes the case for naturalism.
It can be observed, studied, evaluated over time.
Observations can be shared and their relevance can be determined or discounted.
Where did it come from ?
Nothing similar can be said of creationism.
so it nature the oposit of creationism ? or is it in the same category ?
All religion can say is about the nature of things is "That's the way God wants it." , "God's ways are mysterious" or something equally inane.
nothing relevant said, so far…..
Mine are based on the observation of actual things.
The things you espouse are based an faith.
again : where did these actual things come from ?
A hummingbird can be held and studied.
so how did the Hummingbird came to be ? have you ever studied its fantastic capabilities ?
The smallest bird in nature, and one of the most amazing is the hummingbird.7 Weighing only 1/14 of an ounce, he has much in common with a helicopter, flying backward and sideways and hover in midair. Its rate of metabolism is so high that it must feed almost constantly. But, since there are no rods in the hummingbird's retina for night vision, its vital processes shut down to a state of hibernation at night. The nest of the hummingbird is not much bigger than a postage stamp, made out of thistledown and cobwebs. But, built into this pintsized bird is one of the most complex flight mechanisms known. Consider the following:
× In the feathers, the quill is considered stronger for its weight than any structure designed by man.
× Flexibility of the quill allows the primary feathers at the wing tip to bend upward with each downbeat of the wing. This produces the equivalent of pitch in a helicopter.
× The quill constantly changes shape to meet the requirements of air pressure and wing position.
× The leading vane of the feather is narrower than the trailing vane. This feature causes the wing to operate like a propeller to give both lift and propulsion.
× The wing is an efficient doublejointed foresail, the inner half sloping at a slight angle to give lift like the wing of an airplane, while the outer half acts like a propeller.
× There is a jet assisted takeoff mechanism. A tuft of feathers at the junction of the wing adds extra airfoil surface during landing and takeoff.
× Enlarged muscles to operate the wings; almost 3/4 the weight of the bird.
× Higher metabolism, temperature, blood pressure, and a hyperactive heart contribute to the bird's success.
× A remarkable system of respiration where the hollow bones provide an air sac system, providing buoyancy, a reservoir for respiration and an air conditioner.
× Air flows into the lungs in only one direction, providing a continuous supply of oxygen.
× Other features: streamlining, retractable landing gear, camouflage, migration navigation, and hibernation.
It is unreasonable to suggest that the hummingbird "developed" all of these features as a product of evolution gradually over millions of years. Time and chance cannot produce such design and order. Only God can!
I have a problem with a belief system that tells us that women are second class citizens
Where does the new testament say so ?
I have a problem when I am told that God is composed of a father, a son and a holy ghost and no one….....no one….... is able to explain that.
why is that a problem to you ?

L1 and L2 Doctoral Students' Co-Constriction of Meaning at the Literacy Events of GCLR Web Seminars
by Tuba Angay-Crowder
The real world of discourse, being complex, unpredictable, and dynamic with the diverse communicational channels and media, necessitates that both L 1 and L2 learners learn the multiplicity of texts, and master emerging genres in their disciplines (Cope & Kalantiz, 2000; Molle & Prior, 2008; Tardy, 2008). However, issues arise about how students produce and interpret these texts in a particular sociocultural institutional context, and how they learn the related new, emerging literacies and genres around text production (Hyland, 2000; Lea, 2007; Lea & Jones, 2011; Prior. 1995, 2004). Little is known about how students, particularly the ones in post-secondary education, establish the required intertextual connections among different modes of texts (written, oral, visual etc.) in education (Belcher & Hirvela, 2008; Elbow, 1991; Seloni, 2012; Warren, 2013; Weissberg, 2006).
Therefore, the purpose of my study is to examine howL 1 and L2 doctoral students use intertextual connections as opportunities of creating meaning and significance during the literacy events of Global Conversations and Literacy Research (GCLR) web seminars. Drawing upon microethnographic discourse analysis, more particularly the constructs of intertextuality (Bioome, & Carter, 2013), I investigate the following questions a) How are the L 1 and L2 students engaged in intertextual practices in the literacy events of GCLR web seminars? b) How does the use of intertextuality contribute to L 1 and L2 students' academic literacies? This study sets out to explain how L 1 and L2 navigate through intertextual connections as they shape the literacy events of the GCLR.
The participants will be attendees of the GCLR web seminars. I will recruit two L 1 and two L2 doctoral students who are actively involved in the web seminar and have different first languages (e.g., Korean, English, Chinese). Data will draw upon interviews, chat transcriptions, and video recordings of the web seminars, and screenshots from the web seminars (visuals). Data collection and analysis, which will be conducted via Nvivo for Mac, will begin in September 2015, and continue through December 2016. Microethnographic discourse analysis will provide how the participants enact critical agency in meaning making, and how this process contributes to their academic literacies at web seminars.
Can You Hear My Voice? At-Risk Students' Reflections Regarding Access to Music Participation During Secondary School
by Paulette Terry Sigler
This research was purposed to discover how students perceived the impact of participation or lack or participation in school music classes on their global school experiences during secondary school. The research stemmed from concern that recent focus on state and federal mandates may have resulted in a return to educational policies that discount consideration of student experience. All of the students in a university choral department in the southeastern United States comprised the participant population for the initial screening questionnaire. Questionnaire results informed the purposeful sampling of 16 students in six focus groups. Six students were selected from focus groups to participate in one 30-45 minute individual interview. The researcher designed screening questionnaire was a structured survey with open-ended and closed questions (Creswell, 2012; Markus & Nurius, 1986). The interview instruments had guiding questions based on the phenomenological suggestions or Moustakas (1994 ). The second interview was informed by the responses obtained during the first interview. The resulting information is in narrative form. Analysis, beginning with the data generated by the questionnaire, was ongoing throughout the study. Hallam's (2002) motivational model positing the malleable aspects of the personality such as self-esteem, self-efficacy, possible selves, and the ideal self anchored the final analysis. Students reflected on the influence of school music experiences. The overarching question was, "Did involvement or lack of involvement in school music affect students' perceptions of the global school experience and extra-musical success?" The findings support the premise that participation in school music can have a positive affect on students' global school experience extending to a sense of community, increased self-confidence and leadership, enhanced learning in non-music classes, and a time of relief from academic stress. The at-risk students described the ameliorating effects of music participation on their challenging life situations. An ancillary finding was that many students were advised to discontinue music classes to take advanced academic classes, rather than for remediation due to academic struggles. Future research could investigate whether participation in music classes promotes learning and memory consolidation of academic knowledge by providing a divergent learning task that stimulates new modes or thinking.
Life-style, Coping Resources, and Trauma Symptoms: Predicting Posttraumatic Growth
by Michael S. Leeman
Despite the negative psychological, emotional, relational, and physiological impact of traumatic events that often persist into adulthood (Breslau, Davis, Andreski, Peterson, 1991 : Briere, 2004), some individuals may also experience posttraumatic growth (PTG) as they struggle to resolve their traumatic experiences. PTG is a process that originates from a cognitive response to cope with traumatic events, and an outcome that yields positive personal changes (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1998). Several factors are linked to the increased likelihood of PTG such as symptom severity, coping resources, and personality characteristics (Tedeschi & Calhoun, 2004). This study examined the contributory roles of personality themes, coping resources, trauma symptoms, and their interaction on different forms of PTG in a sample of college undergraduates. Wanting Recognition, Tension Control, Social Support, and trauma symptoms were positively related to PTG. Coping resources partially mediated the relationship between trauma symptoms and PTG. Implications for practice and research are discussed.
At the Intersection of Race, Discipline and Disability: A Quantitative Analysis of Principal Perceptions and Exclusionary Discipline Practices in an Urban School District
by Katika D. Lovett
Data collected by the Office for Civil Rights for the 2011-12 school year reveals that students of color and students with disabilities are disproportionately impacted by the use of exclusionary discipline practices, including suspensions and expulsions, throughout the nation's schools. Such disparities serve as the basis for the development of Guiding Principles by the nation's Department of Education to assist school leaders, district officials, policy makers and stakeholders in the implementation of fair and equitable discipline practices that support effective teaching and learning (USDOE, 2014). While many studies have focused on disproportionality and student risk factors for suspension along the lines of gender and race; few studies have sought to provide explanations for how principals' perceptions impact discipline practices. More specifically, to what degree does a difference exist between definable principal perceptions and the subsequent use of suspension across schools? This quantitative study seeks to answer these questions th rough the use of non-experimental, causal-comparative methods employed in a large, urban school district located in the Southeastern United States. To gauge principals' perceptions of school discipline, participants will be administered Skiba & Edl's (2004) Disciplinary Practices Survey, an instrument designed to gauge principals' attitudes and beliefs about the purpose, processes and outcomes involved in school discipline, rather than solely focus on the frequency of disciplinary actions. Archival district data will also be analyzed to further investigate the existence of statistically significant differences across categories of race (Black compared with White students), gender (male compared with female students) and disability status (students with disabilities compared to students without disabilities) for students subjected to the exclusionary discipline practice of suspension.

Like all anemonefishes, Amphiprion percula forms symbiotic relationships with sea anemones. It uses its host as both shelter and protection from predators. Because of this close relationship, the distribution of suitable host anemone species dictates the habitat of Amphiprion percula. Associations involving Amphiprion percula and the sea anemone species Heteractis magnifica, Stichodactyla gigantean, and Stichodactyla mertensii are usually found in nature (Elliott and Mariscal, 1996). Both symbionts reside in shallow coastal waters of the tropics where depth rarely exceeds 12 meters and water temperature ranges from 25-28 degrees C. (Randall et al., 1997; Fautin and Allen, 1992). The distribution of sea anemones themselves is limited by the photosynthetic activity of golden-brown algae that occupy the anemones' tentacles (Fautin and Allen, 1992). The fish and anemone pair generally occurs on coral reefs where the latter is anchored securely and the former can be seen swimming in and out of the protective tentacles of its host.
When several species of anemonefishes occur together in similar habitats, they tend to partition themselves according to microhabitats and available species of sea anemones. Amphiprion percula, for example will typically occupy Heteractis magnifica in nearshore zones while Amphiprion perideraion will occupy the same species in offshore zones. Intense competition for limited resources undoubtedly affects the territorial nature of these fishes. Niche differentiation is caused by distribution, abundance, and recruitment patterns of competing species (Elliott and Mariscal, 2001).

The Dallas Cowboys aren't interested in making a statement. They're interested in winning football games.
That was the point stressed Wednesday by Cowboys head coach Jason Garrett after the announcement that the team had signed Michael Sam, the NFL's first openly gay player, to its practice squad.
"This is about football," Garrett said, via ProFootballTalk. "We evaluated him as a football player and felt like he could help us as a football player. We want to see what he can do. Our attention and focus is on football. It's on getting ready for the 49ers. That's the culture that we have around here, that's the culture that we continue to have."
Sam, who was released by the St. Louis Rams over the weekend and cleared waivers, practiced Wednesday with the Cowboys but is a long way from cracking the Dallas' active roster. Because of this, Garrett said the team is paying far more attention to defensive lineman Lavar Edwards, who was acquired Saturday in a trade with Tennessee Titans.
"We've got to be careful about spending too much time on a practice roster player," Garrett said. "We traded for a defensive end who's going to be on our active roster, from Tennessee. We picked up a defensive lineman who we think is going to be on our active roster. So we tried to address the situation."
Edwards is expected to be active Sunday for the Cowboys' season opener against the San Francisco 49ers.

Do we have a cook for the food. I still plan on buying
hot dogs and buns? If nobody is there to cook I could
buy or do something else.
Let me know.
We have cooks but no grill at this point. still have a couple days
Instead of having a grill and cook for both days, how about we just do that Sunday?
Most of the Am's are going to stick around to watch the pro's and for the award's once they're done. Having food then would be great so the Rec and Int crowd can grab a bite to eat before the spectating starts. So if we could get someone in Pool B to bring a gas grill that would be awesome.

Type: Defect
Status: Open
Priority: Major
Resolution: Unresolved
Affects Version/s: Release 1.5
Fix Version/s: Release 1.7
Component/s: None
Patch:Code and Test
reduce gives a StackOverflowError on long sequences that contain many transitions between chunked and unchunked:
(->> (repeat 50000 (cons :x [:y]))
(apply concat)
(reduce (constantly nil)))
;; throws StackOverflowError
Such a sequence is well behaved under most other sequence operations, and its underlying structure can even be masked such that reduce succeeds:
(->> (repeat 50000 (cons :x [:y])) (apply concat) (take 10000000) (reduce (constantly nil))) ;; => nil
I don't think Clojure developers normally worry about mixing chunked and unchunked seqs, so the existence of such a sequence is not at all unreasonable (and indeed this happened to me at work and was very difficult to debug).
It seems obvious what causes this given the implementation of reduce – it bounces back and forth between the chunked impl and the unchunked impl, consuming more and more stack as it goes. Without proper tail call optimization, it's not obvious to me what a good fix would be.
Presumed bad solutions
Degrade to naive impl after first chunk
In the IChunkedSeq implementation, instead of calling internal-reduce when the
sequence stops being chunked, it could have an (inlined?) unoptimized implementation,
ensuring that no further stack space is taken up. This retains the behavior that a
generic seq with a chunked tail will still run in an optimized fashion, but a seq with
two chunked portions would only be optimized the first time.
Use clojure.core/trampoline
This would presumably work, but requires wrapping the normal return values from all
implementations of internal-reduce.
Proposed Solution
(attached as CLJ-1237c.patch)
Similar to using trampoline, but create a special type (Unreduced) that signals
an implementation change. The two implementation-change points in internal-reduce
(in the IChunkedSeq impl and the Object impl) are converted to return an instance
of Unreduced instead of a direct call to internal-reduce.
Then seq-reduce is converted to check for instances of Unreduced before returning,
and recurs if it finds one.
- Only requires one additional check in most cases
- Reduces stack usage for existing heterogeneous reductions that weren't extreme enough to crash
- Should be compatible with 3rd-party implementations of internal-reduce, which can still use the old style (direct recursive calls to internal-reduce) or the optimized style if desired.
- internal-reduce is slightly more complicated
- There's an extra check at the end of seq-reduce – is that a performance worry?
Added patch.
My coworker just ran into this, independently.
In Clojure 1.7, this is now happening for more cases, such as:
(->> (repeat 10000 (java.util.ArrayList. (range 10))) (apply concat) (reduce (constantly nil)))
(->> (repeat 10000 (java.util.ArrayList. (range 10))) (apply concat) (reduce (constantly nil)))
Pulling into 1.7 just so we don't lose it.
Rich would prefer to degrade to naive impl for this.

|Sarah Keeton - Oct. DAISY Award Winner
Congratulations to Sarah Keeton, RN who was the DAISY Award recipient for October 2008. Sarah works in the NICU.
Sarah exceeded what is required of her as a nurse and has gone beyond her regular duties to give extra special attention to her patients. One parent recently wrote: "Our daughter has been a patient in the NICU since her birth. Sarah gave that extra special attention that shows she cares about her duties as a nurse, but especially that she cares about her patients as individuals."
On behalf of the entire staff, Sarah, we thank you for your dedication to your patients and your profession.

New Liquid Crystal-Based Technology Rapidly Detects Multiple Pathogens in FoodPosted Oct, 26, 2011
Crystal Diagnostics unveils unique food-safety testing system
Each year, food-borne pathogens cause an estimated 48 million illnesses (affecting one in six people), 128,000 hospitalizations and 3,000 deaths, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Variant E. coli strains in ground beef and lettuce, Salmonella in turkey and chicken, and Listeria in cantaloupe and romaine lettuce have sparked widespread recalls due to contamination.
The need for faster detection of harmful pathogens in food is evident. A rapid, reliable method that can test for multiple pathogens simultaneously gives food-safety assurance to farmers, food processors, distributors, retailers and ultimately to the public. The Crystal Diagnostics MultiPath SystemTM addresses this need. The novel technology, in development since 2006, uses liquid crystals to detect multiple harmful pathogens in food in a single test, offering significant time savings over the most common testing methods.
Crystal Diagnostics introduced this new technology with a demonstration today at the company's manufacturing facility in the Kent State Centennial Research Park located at 1950 State Route 59 in Kent, Ohio. Crystal Diagnostics is the exclusive licensee of fundamental liquid crystal biosensor technologies developed jointly by a research partnership between Kent State University and Northeast Ohio Medical University, previously known as the Northeastern Ohio Universities Colleges of Medicine and Pharmacy.
Crystal Diagnostics' technology includes two pieces of equipment. The first is a "cassette" containing five individual "cells," two of which are control cells and three are test cells. A prepared (enriched) sample — from ground beef or lettuce, for example — is mixed with liquid crystals and an antibody or antibody "cocktail" for the pathogen or pathogens being sought. The second piece is a "reader." The cassette is inserted into the reader. If the pathogen or pathogens being sought are present, the liquid crystal — aligned in the reader — will be disrupted. The reader recognizes this disruption and displays the result on an iPad or other device in less than 30 minutes.
In addition to its speed, Crystal Diagnostics' technology offers other significant advantages:
- A single test can detect multiple pathogens, for example, E. coli O157:H7 plus the other "Big Six" E. coli strains and the strain that appeared in Germany in early 2011. This capability is particularly relevant because the Food Safety and Inspection Service has announced it will require testing for E. coli strains other than O157:H7 beginning next year in beef trim used in ground beef
- In addition to these strains of E. coli, by utilizing the three cells in the cassette independently, the test can detect Salmonella, and another pathogen, such as Listeria, in the same test.
- The nature of the technology very significantly reduces false positives and negatives even before the built-in protection of the two control cells is considered. False positives require longer product holds while retesting is accomplished; false negatives represent a different and a vastly more serious problem for food producers.
"The need for faster yet highly reliable processes to detect pathogens has never been higher given the recent deadly food outbreaks," said Paul Repetto, CEO of Crystal Diagnostics. "In 2011, a new strain of E. coli appeared in Germany sickening thousands and killing some. Millions of pounds of meat have been recalled at great expense, and most recently 25 people died from Listeria contaminated melons. This new technology can have a profound impact on public health."
This fall, the equipment will be further beta-tested in the field with leading food processing companies and laboratories.
