KUALA LUMPUR: World champion Nicol David received a special incentive of RM50,000 from the National Sports Council (NSC) yesterday for her 100% win record in 10 tournaments on the Women's International Squash Players Association (Wispa) circuit last year.
Youth and Sports Minister Datuk Seri Ismail Sabri Yaakob said after presenting a mock cheque to the Malaysian superstar in Bukit Jalil, that the reward was specially for athletes who excel in sports not contested at the Olympics.
"We will give out special incentives to deserving athletes like Nicol, who has achieved what no other Malaysian athlete had managed to do so," he said.
He added that if squash were in the Olympics, Nicol would have received a RM1 million reward if she emerged as the champion.
"We are proud of her great achievements.
"She created history by winning all 10 Wispa titles and this is indeed a great success for a Malaysian athlete. She is a good role model for the young and upcoming athletes and I hope more will follow in her footsteps," said Ismail Sabri.
He felt that the RM50,000 reward was not a big amount for the successes achieved by Nicol.
"I will raise the matter in the Cabinet with the hope of increasing the amount for the achievements of our athletes in non-Olympic sports," said Ismail.
Nicol started her season of competition yesterday in the Kuala Lumpur Open and Ismail wished her the best of luck in her defence of the title.
Last year, Nicol began with victory in the Apawamis Open in January and besides the KL Open, she also emerged as the champion in the British Open, Seoul Open, Malaysia Open, Singapore Masters, Dutch Open, World Open, Qatar Classics and Hong Kong Open.
Nicol, who turned professional in 2000, said that it was an honour for her to gain recognition for her achievements last year.
"The incentive is an extra boost for me to kick start my first tournament (KL Open) on a winning note. I will do my best to maintain my 100% record," said Nicol, who will also compete in 10 tournaments this year.

The WikiLeaks of Money
Is Bitcoin a revolution or a bubble?
- By Joshua E. KeatingJoshua E. Keating is an associate editor at Foreign Policy.
For something that few had heard of a month ago, the online currency Bitcoin tends to elicit pretty strong responses. Depending on whom you ask, Bitcoin is the "future of money," a "crypto-geek Ponzi scheme," an "online form of money laundering," or a tool for "libertarian hipsters and criminals."
The publicity has not been kind to Bitcoin, which has faced attacks from law enforcement, hackers, and cybercriminals alike. The currency's value has seen several sharp fluctuations. The currency has been used to spread malware over Twitter. Early supporters appear to have lost confidence, and U.S. lawmakers are starting to ask tough questions. But shutting down Bitcoin may prove more difficult than its critics hope. And whether or not the experiment succeeds, its rise may herald the emergence of a new form of decentralized currency trading.
Bitcoin's origins are appropriately mysterious, in keeping with its cyberpunk image. The idea for the currency was first described in a paper in 2009 by Satoshi Nakamoto, supposedly a Japanese programmer whom no one has ever met or communicated with. The name is almost certainly a pseudonym, and many believe "Nakamoto" may not be only one person.
It's not the first attempt at creating a digital currency. There have been several attempts, including the now defunct eCash, the "Linden dollars" used in the virtual online world Second Life, and, more recently, the Facebook Credits users can use to purchase goods and services through the social network.
What makes Bitcoin unique is its peer-to-peer structure. There's no start-up company or central authority that can go out of business or be shut down by the police. Bitcoins can be purchased through online exchanges by wiring money from your bank account, and there are also sites that will provide users with a few free coins to get started.
"All previous digital currencies required a central trusted authority, which created a single point of failure," says Gavin Andresen, a programmer who develops websites and applications to help users acquire Bitcoins. "And almost all previous private digital currencies turned out to be untrustworthy, because they failed." ECash went out of business, for instance, and the use of Linden dollars remains confined to the still-small world of Second Life users.
The number of coins in circulation, as well as all transactions, is tracked by a distributed server that uses the computing power of Bitcoin users. New coins are "mined" at a rate determined by the computing power of the users involved. Like commodities such as gold or silver, there is a finite number of Bitcoins in the universe — mining will stop when the total supply reaches 21 million. There are currently about 7.2 million in circulation. The value of these coins grew rapidly throughout this year, hitting a high of nearly $32 dollars per coin in early June.
Economists have been skeptical about the currency's future viability, though, seeing its rapid rise as a sign of irrational exuberance as new users rushed to sign on. University of California-Berkeley economics professor Barry Eichengreen wrote in the Washington Post: "If it is possible to imagine one private electronic currency, then it's possible to imagine several, and there would be no guarantee that other people would accept the particular electronic money you use." George Mason University's Tyler Cowen sees Bitcoin's rapid rise as "a sign of the dependence of the Bitcoin upon expectations, and a sign of its bubbly nature."
But for its advocates, Bitcoin is nothing less than revolutionary: What peer-to-peer file-sharing did for music and movies, and WikiLeaks did for government secrets, they say, Bitcoin will do to the global economy.
"It's the same concept as open-source [software]. It can be trusted because nobody owns it," says Rick Falkvinge, founder of the Swedish Pirate Party and "political evangelist" for the Pirate Party movement, which favors the loosening of intellectual property laws and an end to restrictions on file-sharing. "Because nobody owns it, there's an inherent trust in the network."
Falkvinge has literally put his money where his mouth his. In late May he put his entire savings into Bitcoin. His timing — at least initially — appeared impeccable, with his investment quadrupling in just over two weeks.
"I'm seeing this as a future transaction currency both on the Net and in international trade. It obviously has a few hurdles to clear before it can challenge the euro and the U.S. dollar, but I believe those hurdles can be cleared," he says.
Falkvinge has emerged as one of Bitcoin's loudest proponents — and as he admits, he now has quite an incentive to promote it — but he's also the first to point out that it faces significant challenges. The main one is that "we need to see more transaction volume with the Bitcoin economy." Nearly every article on the currency points out that it can be used to buy alpaca socks, but Falkvinge still needs to keep a few Swedish krona on hand to buy his groceries. Widespread use won't occur, he says, as long as Bitcoin is seen as a toy for geeks or, more troublingly, a tool for criminals.
That latter problem became particularly evident in early June after Gawker published a widely read story on Silk Road, an online market where anonymous users can purchase illegal drugs including ecstasy, cocaine, and LSD — using Bitcoin.
The story, probably Bitcoin's biggest mainstream-media mention at that point, actually boosted the currency's value from about $9.90 to $14 as new users — perhaps in more than one sense of the word — rushed to sign up. But not all the attention was quite so positive. U.S. Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) wrote to the Justice Department on June 6 demanding that Silk Road be shut down and Bitcoin investigated.
Schumer, a prominent voice on financial regulation, made his views clear. "It's an online form of money laundering used to disguise the source of money and to disguise who's both selling and buying the drug," he told reporters.
It's a fair bet that most Bitcoin users — many of whom might be described as cyberanarchists — are probably not all that concerned about the senators' disapproval.
"All currencies are used by criminals. Bitcoin is no different," Andresen says. "If Bitcoin becomes widely used, crimes like identity theft will be much harder" — because transactions are tracked by the distributed server — "while others, like avoiding cross-border capital flow regulations, will become easier."
In any event, Bitcoin's supporters believe the currency's decentralized structure will make it nearly impossible for authorities to crack down.
A bigger scare for the Bitcoiners came on June 10, when the currency's value dropped more than 31 percent in one day on Mt.Gox, the most widely used Bitcoin exchange — ending weeks of rapid appreciation. Falkvinge was unperturbed, calling the dip "just part of the overall growth pattern."
"The swings are ridiculously large compared to any normal market. It's a gutsy day-trader's wet dream," he said. "This is currency trading on Internet time."
Another possible vulnerability in the system emerged on June 13, when a veteran user reported that his account had been hacked, resulting in the loss of thousands of dollars worth of Bitcoins. The report hasn't been confirmed, but Andresen did concede to the online magazine Ars Technica that such a crime was technically possible.
Then, on June 19, the value of Bitcoin on Mt.Gox dropped from $17 to just a few cents in a matter of minutes. The drop was blamed on a hacked account and the exchange was taken offline. Bitcoin is still trading at around $15 on rival exchanges, and Mt.Gox has promised to restore its value to pre-hack levels when it comes back online, but the attack was certainly another blow to the currency's already compromised credibility.
The day after the crash, the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF), a prominent San Francisco-based digital-rights organization, announced that it would no longer accept donations in Bitcoin, as it had for the last several months. "We don't fully understand the complex legal issues involved with creating a new currency system," the group said in a statement. "People were misconstruing our acceptance of Bitcoins as an endorsement of Bitcoin." A number of other organizations that had initially been supportive of Bitcoin, including WikiLeaks and the Free Software Foundation, also seem to be emptying their accounts and disassociating themselves.
While some Bitcoin supporters have blasted the EFF and continue to defend the currency's future viability, it's hard not to see the past few days' developments as the fulfillment of Falkvinge's great fear — that Bitcoin will have difficulty finding acceptance beyond its hard-core base of geeks and radical libertarians. Although it wouldn't be fair to say the currency has crashed — Falkvinge is still ahead on his initial investment — the legal questions, volatility, and insecurity associated with Bitcoin in recent days are sure to scare away potential mainstream adopters.
"I think it will take many years before Bitcoin is mainstream, and it may never become mainstream," Andresen acknowledges. "People are, correctly, suspicious of any new idea or technology." Andresen says the next step in the currency's development would be for a major corporation to begin promoting it or for a "country that was looking for a replacement for their failed national currency" to adopt it, but he doesn't believe this will happen anytime soon.
But even if Bitcoin fails, it would probably be a mistake to discount its 15 minutes of fame as a complete fluke. Just as Napster begat BitTorrent and MediaFire, Bitcoin has demonstrated a model for how a non-state-sanctioned, peer-to-peer electronic currency system could work. It may not be "the one," as its advocates hoped, but other innovators are sure to tinker with the formula, improving security and usability. Whether one emerges as a default option in both the online and offline worlds will demonstrate whether Bitcoin's flaws were technical, or something more fundamental; as Eichengreen fears, there might well be a period of multiple online currencies competing for acceptance and legitimacy, dooming the concept altogether.
The disruptive power of Bitcoin on banks and central governments has surely been overstated, but these institutions might be better served to take its emergence as a warning rather than a reassurance: They may not be the only game in town forever.

Happy New Year! My New Year's poem for 2015 is a one-line BASIC program for the Commodore 64: "The Era Canto."
GOTO80 tipped me off that the NYPL is experimenting with using PETSCII (the character set used on the Commodore 64 and other Commodore computers) to generate covers for e-books that don't have them. There is also a cover generator under development that uses illustrations.
The PETSCII generator is specificaly inspired by 10 PRINT, and of course, it leads leads me to ask … will they use this system to generate a cover for the e-book version of 10 PRINT?
Martin Schemitsch (a.k.a. Martinland) has compiled and released a disk to accompany our book 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10, one that's full of BASIC and assembly programs. These include the programs in the book and the later, more compact versions of our demo thread. The disk was just released at Commodore-Treffen Graz $14, and of course the disk image is available for download. It's a nice companion to the 10 PRINT book and a Commodore 64 emulator, although, as you can see, it also works perfectly well on a vintage Commodore 64.
Dartmouth is celebrating the 50th anniversary of BASIC tomorrow with several events, including the premiere of a documentary on BASIC that I hope to see soon. I teach two classes tomorrow; those and my other meetings will make it impossible for me to stop by, even though Dartmouth is not very far away.
There's also a celebratory Time article about BASIC, one that is packed with nice photos, scans, and GIFs showing how programs were listed and how they ran. The GIFs include a sped-up one of 10 PRINT running in an emulator, and there's a link to 10 PRINT CHR$ (205.5 + RND (1)); : GOTO 10, our book (by Nick Montfort, Patsy Baudoin, John Bell, Ian Bogost, Jeremy Douglass, Mark C. Marino, Michael Mateas, Casey Reas, Mark Sample, and Noah Vawter).
I do genuinely appreciate the link and the article overall – there's excellent discussion of popular programming, recollections of personally writing BASIC, BASIC in books and magazines, and even David Brin's 2006 Salon article – but it's too bad our book is (twice) referred to as "a book of essays" when it is actually a single book-length academic study of the title program; quite in distinction to a book of essays, it was written by the ten of us in a single voice. The book, which among other things provides the major academic study of BASIC this century, is also available for free online and anyone can download/open it in seconds to check it out. And if such a glance entices a reader, he or she may, like the popular BASIC programmer of the late 1970s and 1980s, dive further in and learn about formal, material, cultural, historical, and other aspects of the title program, the Commodore 64, BASIC, and more.
Matthew Battles has a nice post about the "Programs at an Exhibition" show, up now on the metaLAB blog.
From the "Programs at an Exhibition" exhibit, the C64 BASIC (Montfort) card, and the Perl (Thayer) card – both are being offered for visitors to take.
Here's some documentation of "Programs at an Exhibition" by Nick Montfort & Páll Thayer, an exhibit of five Commodore 64 BASIC programs and five Perl programs at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery, March 6-16, 2014.
The front of the gallery hosts a Commodore 64 running Nick Montfort's "After Jasper Johns" (left) and an Intel/Ubuntu computer running Páll Thayer's "Flag" (right). These two pieces respond to and rework the famous 1954 painting, Flag, which is in the collection of the MoMA. Jasper Johns, we salute you.
Visitors are invited to take cards with all of the code to the five one-line BASIC programs and the five Perl programs that are running in the gallery. For you online visitors to this documentation, a disk image of the five C64 BASIC programs can be downloaded; VICE or another C64 emulator can be used to load, run, list, and modify the five programs on that image. (Except for "Zen for Commodore 64," the programs do have to be retyped or broken into several lines to be modified.) Also, Páll Thayer's entire Microcodes series, which includes the exhibited programs and which Thayer began in 2009, is online.
Páll Thayer's "How to explain Perl to a dead hare," based on the similarly-named 1965 performance by Joseph Beuys. The Perl program reads the Perl documentation aloud, one word at a time. The Perl documentation, incidentally, is really quite amusing to listen to.
Páll Thayer's "Erased de Kooning" enacts (repeatedly, in this instance) the erasure of one of Willem de Kooning's drawings by Robert Rauschenberg.
Not shown but also in the exhibit are Páll Thayer's "Seedbed" and "Untitled composition."
Nick Montfort's five Commodore 64 programs running on five of the taupe keyboard-and-CPU units. Two of the monitors, the smaller ones, are NEC 12″ CRTs; the other three are Commodore 1702 CRT monitors. On the middle display, one of the zip paintings generated by "After Barnett Newman" can be seen.
On the left, Nick Montfort's "After François Morellet," which presents in one-character form all of the paintings that Morellet would have eventually painted if he continued to do other panels in his 1958 "6 répartitions aléatoires de 4 carrés noirs et blancs d'après les chiffres pairs et impairs du nombre Pi." On the right, the instance of Nick Montfort's "After Jasper Johns" that is running on a CRT monitor.
As with all of the programs, the complete code is presented along with the work's title, the year of development, and the aritst's name. The BASIC programs are also written out in a clearer form, with comments.
Not shown up close but also in the exhibit, in addition to "After Barnett Newman," are Nick Montfort's "Zen for Commodore 64″ and "After Damien Hirst."
Or at least inspires a song and video…
The musical group Bedford Level Experiment writes of their song "Confounded to Corruption" and of the video for it:
We've been reading the book 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 and became very inspired by the section on procedurally generated art. All the footage in this video was generated by Commodore 64 programs written by us, including a 6502 assembly version of 10 PRINT. The lyrics were also generated algorithmically; Sonnet 64 and some commentary on it from Wikipedia were fed into an old Amiga program called NIALL, and the output was edited together into something resembling lyrics. The corruption the sonnet underwent became the theme of the song and video.
The line of verse the lyrics are based on,
Or state itself confounded to decay
is, quite aptly, line 10 of Shakespeare's sonnet 64.
At the Boston Cyberarts Gallery
141 Green Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130
Located in the Green Street T Station on the Orange Line
Phone number: 617-522-6710
The exhibit runs March 6 through March 16.
Part of the life of remarkable artworks is that they are appropriated, transformed, and made new. In Programs at an Exhibition, two artists who use code and computation as their medium continue the sort of work others have done by representing visual art as music, by recreating performance pieces in Second Life, and by painting a mustache and goatee on a reproduction of the Mona Lisa. Programs at an Exhibition presents computer programs, written in Perl and Commodore 64 BASIC, each running on its own dedicated computer. The 20th century artworks reenvisioned in these programs include some by painters and visual artists, but also include performances by Joseph Beuys and Vito Acconci. All of the underlying code is made available for gallery visitors to read; they are even welcome to take it home, type it in, and run or rework these programs themselves.
The programs (Commodore 64 BASIC by Nick Montfort, Perl by Páll Thayer) re-create aspects of the concepts and artistic processes that underlie well-known artworks, not just the visual appearance of those works. They participate in popular and "recreational" programming traditions of the sort that people have read about in magazines of the 1970s and 1980s, including Creative Computing. Programmers working in these traditions share code, and they also share an admiration for beautiful output. By celebrating such practices, the exhibit relates to the history of art as well as to the ideals of free software and to the productions of the demoscene. By encouraging gallery visitors to explore programming in the context of contemporary art and the work of specific artists, the exhibit offers a way to make connections between well-known art history and the vibrant, but less widely-known, creative programming practices that have been taken up in recent decades by popular computer users, professional programmers, and artists.
The Perl programs in the exhibit are from Microcodes, a series of very small code-based artworks that Páll Thayer began in 2009. Each one is a fully contained work of art. The conceptual meaning of each piece is revealed through the combination of the title, the code and the results of running them on a computer. Many contemporary programmers view Perl as a "dated" language that saw its heyday in the early ages of the World Wide Web as the primary language used to combine websites with databases. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall, whose primary interest was to develop a language for parsing text. Because of his background in linguistics, he also wanted the language to have a certain degree of flexibility which has contributed to its motto, "There's more than one way to do it." "That motto, 'TMTOWTDI,' makes Perl challenging for professional programers who have to take over other's people code and may struggle to make sense of it," Thayer said. "But it's one of the main reasons that Perl, a very expressive programming language, appealed to me in developing this project. This flexibility encouraged Perl programmers to explore individual creative expression in the writing of functional code."
"Páll's work in Microcodes engages explicitly with the way computer programs are read by people and hwo they have meanings to those trying to understand them, modify them, debug them, and develop them further," Nick Montfort said. "The Perl programs in Microcodes are quite readerly when compared to my BASIC programs. I've tried to engage with a related, but different documented historical tradition — the one-line BASIC program — as it works in a particular computer, the Commodore 64, and to dive into what that particular computer can do using a very limited amount of code, given these many formal, material, and historical specifics. Because my programs are harder to understand, even though they are written in a more populist programming language, I'm including versions of the program that I have rewritten in a clearer form and that include comments." Montfort's related projects include a collaborative book, written with nine others in a single voice, that focuses on a particular Commodore 64 BASIC one-liner. The book, published in 2012, is named after the program that is its focus, 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10. Montfort also writes short programs to generate poetry. These include two collections of Perl programs that are constrained in size: his ppg256 series of 256-character programs, and a set of 32-character concrete poetry generators, Concrete Perl. His book #! (pronounced "Shebang") collects these and other poetry generators, along with their output, and is forthcoming from Counterpath Press.

My colleague Myke pointed out this New York Times column about the Commodore 64, which waxes nostalgic and also points out how the computer opened up possibilities for new programmers to explore and learn. Myke also pointed out, quite aptly, that the photo, which is supposed to be of a Commodore 64, is actually of a 1541 disk drive. Alas, the Grey Lady, in reference to the rainbow-logoed computer, nods…
I'll post more on this soon, but for now, let me invite you to the opening of my & Páll Thayer's show at the Boston Cyberarts Gallery: 141 Green Street, Jamaica Plain, MA 02130, located in the Green Street T Station on the Orange Line, 617-522-6710.
The opening is 6pm-9pm on Thursday March 6.
The exhibit (which will be up March 6-16) will feature ten programs (five in Commodore 64 BASIC by Nick Montfort, five in Perl by Páll Thayer), each running on its own computer. The programs re-create aspects of the concepts and artistic processes that underlie well-known artworks, not just the visual appearance of those works. They participate in popular and "recreational" programming traditions of the sort that people read about in magazines of the 1970s and 1980s, including Creative Computing. Programmers working in these traditions share code, and they also share an admiration for beautiful output. By celebrating such practices, the exhibit relates to the history of art as well as to the ideals of free software and to the productions of the demoscene. By encouraging gallery visitors to explore programming in the context of contemporary art and the work of specific artists, the exhibit offers a way to make connections between well-known art history and the vibrant, but less widely-known, creative programming practices that have been taken up in recent decades by popular computer users, professional programmers, and artists.

one-line Commodore 64 BASIC program · 2013
I am moved by the holiday spirit of MIT's Independent Activities Period (IAP) to announce a Commodore 64 BASIC programming workshop using original hardware.
[Update: The workshop is now fully subscribed, but I will try to arrange for spectators who would like to join us around 4:30pm to see the results of our work.]
Beginning at 2pm on Wednesday January 29, we will spend about two and half hours working on short BASIC programs. Collaboration will be strongly encouraged; there will be one Commodore 64 provided for each pair of programmers. (If you negotiate with your partner, you may write something individually, however.) It is fine to proceed by modifying programs, and some will be provided for this exact purpose. Programs need not be interactive, but can be. Visual and textual effects will be our focus, but programmers are welcome to work with sound, to develop simple games, or even (gasp!) to write a program that does something useful.
No programming experience (in BASIC, on the Commodore 64, or otherwise) is required. Those who are new to programming can be paired with experienced programmers, if this is suitable to both people. Also, the essentials of BASIC on the Commodore 64 will be described during the workshop. Finally, new programmers can do very interesting work by modifying programs, changing data and parameters and then getting into changing and adding code.
At about 4:30pm we will have a presentation, screening, showcase, or compos of sorts for Commodore 64 BASIC programs in the following three categories:
After this workshop, the code developed will be presented and shared on the Web, where it can be run in emulation or by people who have Commodore 64s.
The workshop will take place in my lab at MIT, The Trope Tank, room 14N-233. The site for the lab includes directions for getting there.
The time for the workshop, again, is:
January 29 (Wednesday)
I can accommodate 8-10 people, programming in pairs. Reserve a place by sending me an email. Because space is limited, please promise to come to the workshop if you write to reserve a space.
Just back from several travels, I've found that there's a video record online of me, Patsy Baudoin, and John Bell presenting 10 PRINT at the University of Maine way back in April of this year. In our presentation, we answer questions and discuss the origin of the 10 PRINT project and the nature of our collaboration. And I do some livecoding. Pretty often, actually.
Please note that 10 PRINT CHR$(205.5+RND(1)); : GOTO 10 is available as a beautiful MIT Press book, designed by our co-author Casey Reas, ans also as a free PDF.
Here's the video of our University of Maine presentation on the "10 PRINT" program and book.
Boston: No reaction.
Seattle: "No, for real?" "Yes, for real." "That was my first computer!" "How old is that thing?" "It's from 1982." "Hey, that used to be state of the art! But now -" [TSA agent takes phone out of pocket, points to it.] "This has got more processing power!"
Los Angeles: "Sir, please come with me." [TSA agent swabs power supply for explosives.] "Can you tell me what this is for?" "It's a computer." [Older TSA agent arrives.] "Hey! A Commodore 64! That's a classic!"
Our first event for 10 PRINT is scheduled for:
November 12, 2012
at the
Harvard Book Store
1256 Massachusetts Ave.
Cambridge, MA.
This means, of course, that the book will be printed and available for sale by then, which is less than a month from now.
The Harvard Book Store is an independent book store in Harvard Square, founded in 1932.
Of the ten authors of 10 PRINT, we're planning to have at least me (Nick Montfort), Patsy Baudoin, and Noah Vawter there for some reading from the book, comments on the titular program and the writing of the book, and discussion. The reading is free and takes place at the bookstore itself, as the page on the event explains.
Local sound artist/electronic musician Keith Fullerton Whitman released an extraordinary piece on the b-side of his November 2009 cassette hallicrafters, inc. The piece is called 10 poke 54272+int(rnd(1)*25),int(rnd(1)*256) : goto 10 and is 18 minutes of sound produced by a Commodore 64 emulator running the BASIC program that is the title of the piece.
The memory locations beginning at 54272 are mapped on the Commodore 64 to the registers of the SID (Sound Interface Device). By POKEing random values into them, the SID, although it is a musical chip, is stimulated to produce sounds in what probably seems like a non-musical way: based on the effect of register settings and the sequence produced by the system's random number generator, a polynomial counter.
I'm listening to the piece running on a hardware C64 now, which is soothing, although it seems like it shouldn't be. Looking at the code, I note that the program
10 poke 54272+rnd(1)*25,rnd(1)*256 : goto 10
will put the same values into the same memory locations (and therefore SID registers) in the same order. The INT function is unnecessary because all arithmetic in C64 BASIC is done in floating point and then cast to integer whenever necessary. It's possible that removing these functions will cause the piece to speed up, however, and I suspect it will, even though a BASIC interpreter could skip the unnecessary INT calls to begin with. There would be various ways of determining this, but the one I'd like to try involves getting two C64s, each with one version of the program, and seeing if they go out of phase.
By the way, I say that these two programs will put the same values in the same order because RND(1) returns a deterministic sequence. Any time either of these programs is invoked before other calls to RND are made, they will produce the same sequence. Using RND(0) would seed the random number generator on the jiffy clock, so would do different things depending upon how long the computer had been on before startup.
Thanks to sound artist and digital media scholar Kevin Driscoll, a.k.a. Lone Wolf, for letting me know about this.
Update: Hilariously, I overlooked that Whitman is not the author of this program – he credits Noah Vawter, a.k.a. Shifty, who is currently collaborating with me on a project about a one-line Commodore 64 BASIC program. I guess I was too distracted by that picture of an iPhone running a C64 emulator.

Cenk Uygur Slams Gingrich And Rumsfeld For Having No Credibility To Criticize Actions In Libya
Whether any of us agree or disagree on the president's decision to go into Libya, Cenk Uygur is right here about hypocrites Newt Gingrich and Donald Rumsfeld and their recent comments on the subject. They have absolutely no credibility to criticize anything.
UYGUR: Look, the Republican Party is the how-to guide on how not to deal with the Middle East. Listening to the GOP for advice on the Middle East is like going to Bernie Madoff for financial advice.
Dave already wrote about Newt's flip-flopping here -- Gingrich leads the right-wing hypocrisy brigade on Libya: First slams Obama for not acting, then slams him for acting.
This is the interview with Politico that Cenk was referring to in the clip above -- Donald Rumsfeld: White House lacks goals, vision for Libya.
As Uygur mentioned, it appears NATO has agreed to take over the no-fly zone in Libya --NATO to take over no-fly zone.
It looks like the United States is still going to be flying the bulk of the missions there for who knows how long though. I'm still waiting for someone to tell me why we can afford this but we can't afford to pay our teachers. When are we going to have some calls for some "shared sacrifice" from the have-mores for these military interventions?

Dragon Quest 1 Will Be Localized Under Its Original Title For The First Time TonightBy Thomas . September 10, 2014 . 1:59pm
The English version of Square Enix's Dragon Quest I launched on the New Zealand iOS App Store earlier last night.
The English version of Square Enix's Dragon Quest I launched on the New Zealand iOS App Store earlier last night.
In an interview with Siliconera, producer Noriyoshi Fujimoto revealed soon after the original Dragon Quest, Square Enix will also release Dragon Quest II and Dragon Quest III for iOS and Android in the West.
A Valentine's Day gift approaches…
Remember the possible Dragon Quest trademarks Siliconera found in Japan? Square Enix registered The Seeds of Salvation in the United States.
All one million free copies of Dragon Quest for iOS and Android are gone… after about two days. Square Enix's goal is to get smartphone gamers into the Dragon Quest as a whole since eight games in the series are coming over, so they changed the promotion.
Dragon Quest for smartphones is interesting since it uses a vertical layout. The graphics have been upgraded too and we're not just talking about the NES version.
Siliconera dug up trademarks for Luminaries of the Legendary Line and The Seeds of Salvation registered in Japan by Square Enix. These trademarks are in English, which suggest they will be used for future localized Dragon Quest games.
On top of submitting a resume, all applicants have to send two writing samples. The first is an essay about what you think of the Dragon Quest series and the second is a short story with an escape theme.
So a Slime, a Moogle and Lloyd Irving walk into a bar… okay, I got nothing. However, this month's issue of V Jump does!
Square Enix is bringing the Dragon Quest series to smartphones in a big way. Dragon Quest I all the way through to the PlayStation 2 game Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King are coming to iOS and Android.
In Dragon Quest, Luida (aka Patty in the English games) makes several appearances throughout the series. She usually runs a hub for heroes to find companions.
This hero is ready to take on the Dragonlord. Why? Because he has a complete set of Roto gear.
Square Enix cut Dragon Quest I's world map into eleven pieces, which fans can collect and reassemble.
Reminiscing about developing the Dragon Quest series, Horii said in the early days memory was often an issue. Fitting maps and music into a game was kind of like a fun puzzle.
Square Enix is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Dragon Quest at the upscale Roppongi Hills shopping center. The Mori Art Museum, situated 52 stories in the sky, has an exhibition of Dragon Quest art.

The strike was called by CITU, the labour arm of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist(CPI-M), hours after the central government Friday ended government curbs on petroleum pricing and hiked the prices of diesel, kerosene and cooking gas.
Normal life was badly hit in West Bengal as buses, taxis and autorickshaws went off the roads Saturday in response to a public transport strike called by the Centre of Indian Trade Unions (CITU) against the fuel price hike.
Despite being a holiday for government employees, commuters were inconvenienced as a handful of taxis and autorickshaws that plied made a killing by charging exorbitant fares.
Ferry services on various rivers across the state also did not operate.
The strike was called by CITU, the labour arm of the ruling Communist Party of India-Marxist(CPI-M), hours after the central government Friday ended government curbs on petroleum pricing and hiked the prices of diesel, kerosene and cooking gas.
Criticising the Central government for burdening the common man with the hike in oil prices at a time of high inflation, the Left parties on Saturday staged a demonstration at Jantar Mantar, demanding that the increase in the prices of petrol, diesel, LPG and kerosene be immediately rolled back.
Members of the Communist Party of India, the Communist Party of India (Marxist), the Revolutionary Socialist Party and the All India Forward Bloc marched in unison from Jantar Mantar to Parliament Street demanding urgent steps to control the high inflation rate and high prices of essential commodities.
"Heavy blow on people"
The demonstration was addressed by CPI (M) Polit Bureau member Brinda Karat and CPI general secretary A.B. Bardhan. Both leaders criticised the Centre for "inflicting this heavy blow on the common man at a time when the country was facing a very high inflation rate, especially in food items.''
They also accused the government of putting the burden on the common people to help increase the profits of the corporate sector.
Ms. Karat criticised the United Progressive Alliance allies for their shadow boxing with the Centre on the issue of price rise and added that when the Left was providing outside support to the government at the Centre it did not allow it to increase the prices of kerosene and LPG.
Mr. Bardhan said: "This government has forgotten the poor and is helping only the capitalists of the country.'' He added that the CPI and all other Left parties will be holding an all-India agitation on the issue of price rise and food security on July 1.
Appeal to public
The protesters demanded that the Centre immediately withdraw its decision to increase the prices and also appealed to the general public to strengthen the country-wide movement against the "anti-people policies" of the Congress-led government.
Meanwhile, Communist Party of India (Marxist-Leninist)-New Democracy also organised a protest, stating that the increase in prices of fuels showed that the Centre was not concerned about the poor.
Price spiral
In a separate protest on the same issue, members of the Socialist Unity Centre of India (Communist) took out a protest march from Jantar Mantar to highlight how the increase in the prices of petroleum products would lead to a price spiral in the goods of daily use and consequently have a disastrous effect on the common man.
SUCI activists wanted to march up to the Prime Minister's residence but were detained by the police.

There are people in this world who like to chase an inside straight. These are the same people who bet on horses that are 60-to-1. They call themselves risk takers. I call them broke.
New Way to Deal with Credit Card Debt
As the recession continues and companies cut costs, the consequences for actors are acutely felt: fewer productions, fewer auditions, and fewer bucks coming in.
Newcomer Conundrum, Curse Clarification
I've heard a lot lately that casting directors are only looking at those with credits right now. What should I do?
It takes a brave person to leave his homeland, family, and successful career behind to pursue his dreams of stardom in Los Angeles. In 2007, Derek Lui was in Hong Kong, hosting lifestyle TV programs and movie premieres for such blockbusters as Transformers.
How Do You Deal with Rejection?
"When I audition for something that I really want so badly and don't get it, I remind myself that this is show 'business', and rejection is part of it."
"Years ago, men had to have big, beautiful, commanding voices and women had to have soft, whispering, dulcet tones," says voiceover agent Peter Varano of AVO Talent.
Putting Your Voice to the Test
It's probably accurate to say that I have "decided" to make a voiceover demo at least six times in the past ten years.

Early human fossils unearthed in Ukraine
Ancient remains uncovered in Ukraine represent some of the oldest evidence of modern people in Europe, experts have claimed.
Archaeologists found human bones and teeth, tools, ivory ornaments and animal remains at the Buran-Kaya cave site.
The 32,000-year-old fossils bear cut marks suggesting they were defleshed as part of a post-mortem ritual.
Details have been published in the journal PLoS One.
Archaeologist Dr Alexander Yanevich from the National Ukrainian Academy of Science in Kiev discovered the four Buran-Kaya caves in the Crimean mountains in 1991.
Since then, roughly two hundred human bone fragments have been unearthed at the site.
Among the shards of human bones and teeth, archaeologists have found ornaments fashioned from ivory, along with the abundant remains of animals....

Scalia v. The World: On Antonin Scalia
Scalia's interactions with one of the society's founders nicely illustrates the way it patiently established a beachhead and then penetrated every corner of the profession. Lee Liberman Otis co-founded the Federalist Society while a student of Scalia's at Chicago in the early '80s. In 1982 Scalia became a judge on the US Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit, and he asked Liberman to clerk for him. A few years later she took a position vetting judicial nominees in President Reagan's Justice Department, where she determinedly championed Scalia for the Supreme Court in 1986 over his better-known colleague on the DC Circuit, Judge Robert Bork. Scalia was nominated and confirmed, and he promptly hired Liberman to clerk for him again, granting her the one credential that can open any door in the legal world. Liberman went on to teach law at George Mason University and then returned to work in the two Bush administrations. She currently serves as senior vice president of the Federalist Society. A mutually beneficial relationship installed a giant on the Supreme Court and twice provided him the services of a reliably conservative law clerk, and in turn landed a young conservative lawyer posts in the judicial and executive branches of federal government and in the predominantly liberal academy. Multiply this story by a thousand, and you begin to grasp the Federalist Society's muscle.
Throughout The Rise of the Conservative Legal Movement, Teles emphasizes the libertarian and intellectual dimensions of the conservative counterrevolution, even to a fault. He does not discuss social conservative organizations like Jay Sekulow's American Center for Law and Justice, which in September published an op-ed titled "The President's New Name: President Barack Obortion"; nor does he examine those organizations motivated by religious conservatism, like Pat Robertson's Regent University School of Law. Yet these institutions and the sentiments that animate them--Scalia's territory--have been indispensable to the movement's successes. For every principled intellectual who finds the Supreme Court's theoretical conception of the due process clause inherently flawed, there is someone else who doesn't want teachers saying that man descended from monkeys. Given that such hidebound ideas are integral to legal conservatism, statements about the mission of the Federalist Society like that of Steven Calabresi, one of the organization's founders, sound impossibly optimistic: "We want to be a reasonable organization like AEI, an organization of thoughtful and intelligent people, an organization that's engaged in dialogue with people on the left, not an organization that's a caricature of what conservatives could be." Thoughtful and intelligent people don't call gay men "homos," as Robertson was famously caught doing during the commercial break of an interview on Larry King Live. By founding an organization deliberately intended to welcome the likes of The 700 Club, the Federalist Society's leaders made its mission statement a contradiction in terms.
If Scalia's ascendance and the role of social and religious conservatism suggest some fundamental inseparability of the conservative legal movement from the worst elements of the base, then so does the movement's bloody shirt: the Senate's rejection of Bork's Supreme Court nomination in 1987. Teles describes the impact of this defeat in vivid terms, emphasizing the pain and anger many legal conservatives felt as their godfather was savaged on the Senate floor. Bork was extremely well connected in Washington legal circles and mentored scores of up-and-coming conservative lawyers in his various positions as solicitor general, a popular law professor and a judge of the US Court of Appeals alongside Scalia. His many acolytes took his humiliation personally. "People felt genuinely outraged," Calabresi told Teles; it was as if "their father or mother had not been confirmed to the Supreme Court."
But Teles is mistaken to compare this referendum on conservative constitutionalism with the "seminal moment[s] of injustice" that motivated other social movements, like Stonewall and the attacks on black civil rights marchers. Minorities who were targeted and physically attacked merely for their intrinsic identities are simply not in the same category as elite judges who feel disenfranchised or indignant because the majority of the country finds their views unacceptable. Yet regardless of whether legal conservatives were justified in feeling the same way about Bork that liberals felt about civil rights icons, the point is, those feelings were genuinely held. And Bork is not a gentle conservative in the tradition of David Souter. He is a true reactionary who might well have edged out Clarence Thomas for the seat on the farthest right of the bench. With people like Bork and Scalia as its heroes, the conservative legal movement is to a great extent incapable of moderation.
Teles concludes that conservatives have caught up to liberals in some regards--at least in the sense of gaining representation, if not dominance, in elite institutions that feed the power structures of the legal profession--but certainly have not outmatched or uprooted them. And while their successes over the past thirty years have been impressive, those successes should not be understood through what Teles calls "the myth of diabolical competence," which essentially means the fallacy of a vast right-wing conspiracy. There was plenty of trial and error, and the whole thing wasn't hatched up and executed by a coterie of militants hunched over a set of blueprints in some underground bunker. This is a useful point to make, for when it comes to successful conservative movements, conspiracy theories abound yet are simplistic and unedifying.
If the movement's greatest success has been to place ideologically sympathetic judges like Scalia on the courts, it still straggles far behind in the legal academy, where ideas are shaped and prestigious degrees handed out. One exception, to which Teles devotes considerable attention, is the law and economics movement, which approaches legal problems through the language and analytic tools of economics. The movement began at the University of Chicago in the 1950s, and its most prestigious accolade was the John M. Olin Fellowship in Law and Economics, given each year to a handful of accomplished young scholars. (The fellowship program ended in 2005, when the Olin Foundation, as stipulated by its mission, disbanded after exhausting its assets.) But even here, the results are limited. If law and economics (and the Olin Fellowship) was once a proxy for more overt conservative credentials, now it is just another research field with questionable correlation to political views. Even the movement's biggest superstar, Richard Posner, makes little use of its tenets in his opinion writing; as a judge, he is much better described these days as a pragmatist than as a law and economics guru. (Full disclosure: I worked for Posner and other judges as a staff attorney at the US Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit from 2004 to 2006.) And regardless, a little knowledge of economics is a dangerous thing. While hard economics research is, of course, an important and empirically based discipline, applying economic principles broadly and casually is a little like psychoanalyzing your neighbor: anyone can do it, and the results are laden with spongy assumptions and frequently wrong.
I was reminded of this several months ago by an exchange on The Volokh Conspiracy, a law blog founded by the wunderkind UCLA professor Eugene Volokh that counts among its contributors libertarian legal scholars, many of them former Supreme Court clerks, who are very smart and have many thoughtful things to say about law, politics and culture. In September the blog featured a short post about the botched lethal injection of convicted murderer and rapist Romell Broom, whose executioners were unable for several hours to find a vein and had to reschedule the procedure. The Eighth Amendment--which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment--is a topic of scholarly interest to several of the blog's contributors, and Broom's terrible story undoubtedly caught their attention for that reason. The posting was sober and respectful, attempting little more than a summary of the awful facts and a few links. One commenter broke with decorum, offering that sparing Broom would "give death row inmates the option of overeating or getting hooked on smack during years before execution to make veins buried or trashed." Law and economics! Look, professor--an incentive! That this combination of would-be intellectualism and primitive sympathies is only a pose is less illuminating than what it is a pose of. Chief Justice Roberts might have expressed the same sentiment more diplomatically, and Bork more harshly, but only Scalia could've said it better.

White Mountain – Titanium Samples Distribution and Marketing Update
SANTIAGO, Chile, May 20 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — White Mountain Titanium Corporation ("White Mountain" or the "Company") (OTC Bulletin Board: WMTM) reports that, following completion of its successful Pilot Plant program, in excess of 150 Kg of high grade, natural rutile concentrate samples have been dispatched to potential customers in North America, Asia and Europe for testing. The samples were wet screened and comprised of three grades: Standard Grade (plus 75 microns), Welding Rod Grade (53 to 75 microns) and Fine Grade (less than 53 microns.) The TiO2 content for all grades was in excess of 96.4%, with CaO levels conforming to standard limits for chloride grade concentrates. In addition to pigment, Fine Grade rutile is being evaluated for titanium metal applications.
The Company expects to receive comments from potential customers during the current quarter.
"Following on from our Pilot Plant work, it is important now to let potential customers test our range of high grade, natural rutile concentrates," said Michael Kurtanjek, the Company's President and CEO. "At a time of growing tightness in the chloride grade, TiO2 concentrate market, I remain optimistic that Cerro Blanco concentrates will be well received by potential customers. Chloride grade, TiO2 concentrate prices have risen considerably over the past 18 months and many market commentators are forecasting further price appreciation from current levels. Market conditions bode well for our Project."
About White Mountain Titanium Corporation
The Company holds mining concessions on the Cerro Blanco property currently consisting of 33 registered mining exploitation concessions and five mining exploration concessions in the process of being constituted, over approximately 8,225 hectares located approximately 39 kilometres west of the City of Vallenar in the Atacama, or Region III, geographic region of northern Chile. The Company's principal objectives are to advance the Cerro Blanco project towards a final engineering feasibility, and to secure off-take contracts for the planned rutile concentrate output. It would be the intention to sell the rutile concentrate to titanium metal and pigment producers. Work also continues to investigate the commercial viability of producing a feldspar co-product. The feldspar could find applications in the glass and ceramics industries.

Before You Begin
Where works are being carried out under a Section 278 agreement, you must not begin construction unless and until:
- We have given you technical approval;
- The Section 278 agreement has been completed and signed and an appropriate surety is set in place;
- You have provided us with written confirmation that you have notified the Health and Safety Executive that you are client for the works for the purposes of the Construction (Design and Management) Regulations;
- All necessary fees have been paid to us; and
- The following requirements have also been satisfactorily completed
- Notification of start: You must normally give us notice in writing of your intention to begin construction work or begin it again. Please see below regarding streetworks notices.
- Approving your contractor: Your highway works must be constructed by a contractor (including any sub-contractor) who has relevant experience and capabilities. You must not start construction of the highway works until we have approved your contractor. So, you must supply information about the contractor you want to use. Where you are unable to supply us with satisfactory details, or where we have previously experienced problems with a contractor (for example with quality of workmanship) we will not approve that contractor.
- The contractor's insurance: You must indemnify us (protect us from legal responsibility) against any claims by third parties arising from the highway works. Before we will approve your contractor they must provide us with written evidence that they have, as a minimum, £5 million public liability insurance with no limit on the number of claims.
- Pre-start meeting: You must arrange a 'pre-start' meeting (see typical pre-start agenda).

Year to date, average residential prices are up 13.4% over the previous year to $312,524, and August 2012 is up 14.5% over August 2011 to $328,344. At an average of 43 days in market before contract, it takes about 2 weeks less to sell a house right now than it did a year ago. With three vibrant pedestrian-friendly retail sectors, endless eateries � many of them world class, three beautiful lakes, abundant parks and easy auto and pedestrian access to downtown, it's easy to see why people choose to live in e Highlands. Prices aren't going down anytime in the foreseeable future, nor are interest rates, so now is still the best possible time to jump aboard the real estate band-wagon. If you are a Seller looking for a move-up property here in the Denver Metro or abroad, it's a fantastic time to sell, and you'll never see this opportunity again in your lifetime to move into something bigger. Huge Price Increases Taking Place In Northwest Denver By Corey Wadley~Broker/Owner, Nostalgic Homes As predicted, Denver Metro home prices are on the rise. e Case-Shiller price index was up 4% in Denver this June over last June - #4 in the nation. If the index doesn't mean much to you, and you are more of a raw numbers person, then the CoreLogic gures may make more sense. CoreLogic posted a 7.2% percent gain in Denver average sales prices over the same time period. CoreLogic still takes into account many variables, so if you want to know the absolute raw Metrolist data, here it is; for all types of property (Residential, Condo, Income, and Land), June 2011 against June 2012, the average price across Denver Metro has risen 6.9% to $271,788. If you consider only residential properties and condos, prices have risen 13.5% to $302,501. If you only look at residential property, prices have risen 11.0% to $324,497. For as little at 3% down in some cases, you can take part in this upward momentum in real estate. Call Nostalgic Homes ose are some incredible gains, but are they sustainable? direct at 303-455-5535 or contact us at www.NostalgicHomes.com Common sense says no, not over the long term.

Death Pension
Death pension is an income and net worth based program for a low-income surviving spouse and/or the unmarried dependent children of a veteran with wartime service.
The death pension provides a monthly payment to bring an eligible person's income to a level established by law. The payment is reduced by the annual income from employment or other sources such as Social Security, retirement, interest, etc. The payment may be increased if the recipient has un-reimbursed medical expenses that can be deducted from countable income.
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation
Dependency and Indemnity Compensation, commonly referred to as DIC, is a monthly monetary benefit payable to the surviving dependents of a deceased veteran.
For a survivor to be eligible for DIC, the veteran's death must have resulted from one of the following causes:
Education for Eligible Dependents and Survivors
Dependents' Educational Assistance provides education and training opportunities to eligible dependents of certain veterans. The program offers up to 45 months of education benefits. These benefits may be used for degree and certificate programs, apprenticeship, and on-the-job training. If you are a spouse, you may take a correspondence course. Remedial, deficiency, and refresher courses may be approved under certain circumstances.
You must be the son, daughter, or spouse of:
NC State Veterans Scholarships for Dependent Children
Chapter 165 (Veterans), General Statutes of North Carolina
Article 4. Scholarships for Children of War Veterans
In appreciation for the service and sacrifices of North Carolina's war veterans, a four-year scholarship program at approved schools in North Carolina has been established for the qualifying children of certain deceased, disabled, combat or POW/MIA veterans.
Click here for details: http://www.doa.nc.gov/vets/benefits.aspx
Home Loan Guaranty for Surviving Spouses
The unmarried surviving spouse of a veteran who died on active duty or as the result of a service-connected disability is eligible for the home loan benefit.
Medical Care for Dependents
The Civilian Health and Medical Program of VA (CHAMPVA), provides reimbursement for most medical expenses - inpatient, outpatient, mental health, prescription medication, skilled nursing care and durable medical equipment.
The veteran must have a permanent & total (P&T) disability rating (100% or IU, P&T), or have died from a service connected disability to be eligible for CHAMPVA.

Wood Boats (maintenance & performance)
Hi all,
I'm investigating two daysailers for next season. Trying to do my homework so I can get a decent price during the off season.
Saw a Bluenose 23 that looks gorgeous, it was renovated in 2008 ... and if the pics are recent, has held up well. I'm also looking at Pearson Ensigns, which have about 1,000 lbs more in displacement and a larger cockpit. But the Bluenose oozes beauty and is a real head/heart turner.
For the Bluenose my questions are:
maintenance - as a wood boat will it require a lot of time & $'s to maintain?
with a somewhat light displacement of about 2,000 lbs will it be too tender for my wife?
at 6' will boom clearance be sufficient for me so I don't have to continually duck the boom?
Can I use a small spinnaker if desired?
Probably hard to go wrong with either choice.
Appreciate your thoughts.
