I am following a Java example that uses a Completion Service to submit queries to a 3rd party app that receives packets by calling:
completionService.submit(new FetchData());
Then it calls:
Future<Data> future = completionService.take();
Data data = future.get(timeout, TimeUnit.MILLISECONDS);
Which waits for one of the submitted tasks to finish and returns the data. These two calls are in a
while(true) loop.
I am developing an app in c# and I was wondering if this is the proper way to wait for packets and if it is how do I do it in c#.
I have tried this but I'm not sure if I am doing it right:
new Thread(delegate() {
Dictionary<ManualResetEvent, FetchData> dataDict = new Dictionary<ManualResetEvent, FetchData>();
ManualResetEvent[] doneEvents;
ManualResetEvent doneEvent;
FetchData fetch;
int index;
while(true) {
// Create new fetch
doneEvent = new ManualResetEvent(false);
fetch = new FetchData(this, doneEvent);
// event -> fetch association
dataDict.Add(doneEvent, fetch);
doneEvents = new ManualResetEvent[dataDict.Count];
dataDict.Keys.CopyTo(doneEvents, 0);
// wait for any of them to finish
index = WaitHandle.WaitAny(doneEvents, receiveThreadTimeout);
// did we timeout?
if (index == WaitHandle.WaitTimeout) {
// grab done event
doneEvent = doneEvents[index];
// grab fetch
fetch = dataDict[doneEvent];
// remove from dict
// process data
EDIT: One last note, I am using this in Unity which uses Mono 2.6 and is limited to .NET 2.0
EDIT 2: I changed the code around some. I realized that the ThreadPool has its own max limit and will queue up tasks if there are no threads left, so I removed that logic from my code.

Deadline writes that ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT creator Mitch Hurwitz has just signed a multi-year deal with Netflix to write and produce new original series through The Hurwitz Company.
"We are lucky to be in business with Mitch Hurwitz, a true genius with one of the most distinctive voices in comedy today," Netflix's Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos said in a statement. "Mitch's inventive approach to Arrested Development - one of the top TV comedies of this generation - was ahead of its time, and we're fortunate to have him on our team."

Also as part of the deal, Hurwitz will consult on possible comedy series for Netflix as well as work on other original projects as an executive producer.
Hurwitz's series ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT debuted its fourth season on Netflix last year after a three-year run on Fox from 2003 to 2006. The series won six Emmys during its time at Fox and received three nominations after 2013's release.
Among Hurwitz's other writing credits are the TV series Running Wilde, Sit Down Shut Up, The Ellen Show, Everything's Relative, The John Larroquette Show, The Golden Girls and the TV movies Hench at Home, The Thick of It and Happiness Isn't Everything.

We consider the problem of computing a time-optimal motion for two omnidirectional robots carrying a ladder from an initial position to a final position in a plane without obstacles. At any moment during the motion, the distance between the robots remains unchanged and the speed of each robot must be either a given constant υ, or O. A trivial lower bound on time for the robots to complete the motion is the time needed for the robot farther away from its destination to move to the destination along a straight line at a constant speed of υ. This lower bound may or may not be achievable, however, since the other robot may not have sufficient time to complete the necessary rotation around the first robot (that is moving along a straight line at speed v) within the given time. We first derive, by solving an ordinary differential equation, a necessary and sufficient condition under which this lower bound is achievable. If the condition is satisfied, then a time-optimal motion of the robots is computed by solving another differential equation numerically. Next, we consider the case when this condition is not satisfied, and show that a time-optimal motion can be computed by taking the length of the trajectory of one of the robots as a functional and then applying the method of variational calculus. Several optimal paths that have been computed using the above methods are presented

26:27 Troublemakers often make trouble for themselves (cf. Gal. 6:7). The theme of retribution is probably intended to be linked with vv. 23–26. Here the emphasis is not on direct divine judgment, but on the providentially self-destructive nature of folly aimed at destroying others.

Volcker and Reform Defeated
The Former Fed Chairman Offers A History Lesson, Congress Skips the Class
Wall Street reform died this week.
It died Tuesday before the Senate Banking Committee from unnatural and illogical causes: the finance lobby, obstruction, fear-mongering and plain ignorance.
Rarely does financial history offer a living, breathing voice of reason in crucial times, but listening to Paul Volcker spell out his plan for reform was such an event. Too bad for all of us, his prescription for reform will be discarded like loan underwriting standards for a multi-family home near Las Vegas.
The former chairman of the Federal Reserve hit the committee like a ghost of banking past -- and future -- leaving the rule that bears his name on the doorstep of Capitol Hill. His plan is not a pure return to the dreaded Glass-Steagall days, but to those in Congress who are lining up to kill the plan, it may just as well have been that and more.
Mr. Volcker's testimony was at once a brilliant articulation of the structural dangers of Wall Street as it stands and a forceful warning. He clarified the most controversial part of the rule, the ban on proprietary trading for commercial banks.
A bank "trading for its own account, it will almost inevitably find itself, consciously or inadvertently, acting at cross purposes to the interests of an unrelated commercial customer of a bank," he said in prepared testimony.
This state of affairs at big institutions such as Bank of America Corp. BAC -1.48 % , Citigroup Inc. C -1.05 % and J.P. Morgan Chase JPM -0.79 % & Co. is more than just a conflict. It is an all out internal war at the heart of these institutions pitting the money system so important to the economy with the risk-taking system important only to those who benefit from the betting windfall.
But given the reaction of committee members, the Volcker Rule appears to be doomed. By the end of his testimony the dais was nearly empty. Big bank stocks rallied. The only question now is whether the bill will be gutted or euthanized like failed investment banks would have been under the Volcker plan.
Cause and Competition
Richard Shelby, the committee's ranking Republican, apparently has agreed to carry the mantle for Wall Street interests (an assertion he denies). He questioned Mr. Volcker in a fashion that suggested the utmost respect for a great hero of economic crises past and the patronizing condescension one would give an 82-year-old suspected of being out-of-touch with the modern financial world and, perhaps, a bit senile.
. Sen. Shelby asked Mr. Volcker if there was any evidence proprietary trading contributed to the financial crisis and pointed out that Lehman Brothers and Bear Stearns Cos. were not commercial banks. Then he suggested that unilaterally imposing the rule in the U.S. market would handicap U.S. institutions globally.
Mr. Volcker did not have a compelling answer on the first point and seemed to stumble when pressed by Sen. Shelby on how regulators would measure "excessive growth" in bank liabilities. It's like "pornography, you know it when your see it," Mr. Volcker said.
He also conceded that in order to keep U.S. banks competitive, the same restrictions would need to be adopted overseas.
There's more to it than that, of course. When it comes to proprietary trading and the recent financial crisis, big banks did get hit by their trading desks.
In the fourth quarter of 2008 J.P. Morgan reported $1.1 billion in losses due to mortgage-related exposures and weak trading results in credit-related products. A single Merrill Lynch trader lost $120 million on bad currency bets alone contributing to $13.8 billion loss for the firm in its last three months before being acquired by Bank of America Corp. Citigroup Inc. lost $600 million in the third quarter of 2007 on its fixed-income desk.
They are sobering numbers that illustrate why depository institutions shouldn't be taking these kinds of bets. Were they the pure cause of the crisis? No. Did they make matters worse? Undeniably so.
As for U.S. competitiveness, the concern is secondary to preserving our own economic system. But let's play Sen. Shelby's game.
Mr. Volcker said there are 20 or less banks in the world engaging in the kinds of Wall Street businesses his rule targets. Most are concentrated domestically and in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Germany. We probably can't go it alone, but we only need one or two of those nations to impose similar restrictions.
As Sen. Christopher Dodd put it. If we don't do anything they probably won't. If we do, they are likely to follow.
Evaporating Support
At first, Sen. Dodd seemed to back the Volcker Rule, but in subsequent statements, he's backtracked. Even with his support, it's unlikely to move reform forward. He's not running for reelection this fall. His political persuasiveness has been undercut.
Sen. Shelby has his own interests. He is running for reelection this year. Wall Street has been the leading contributor to his campaign and the leadership political action committee this cycle, with $600,000 in donations through Jan. 10, according to the Center for Responsive Politics. Add the real estate and insurance industries and Mr. Shelby has taken $2 million from financial interests, more than double the contributions from the next leading industry, the CRP said.
Jonathan Graffeo, a spokesman for Sen. Shelby, said the senator was a "leading opponent in the Senate to the taxpayer bailout of Wall Street." He said Wall Street's top priorities in financial regulatory reform is ensuring that its weak regulator, the Federal Reserve, retains regulatory authority and gains the ability as a "systemic risk regulator" to designate them too big to fail. "Ensuring that those things do not happen and ending taxpayer bailouts are Sen. Shelby's top priorities in regulatory reform," Mr. Graffeo said.
While Sen. Shelby "clearly stated at the outset of (the) hearing on the Volcker rule that he was willing to consider the proposal's view", the banking committee "did not receive answers as to why the proposal is necessary given existing statutory authority, or how proprietary trading contributed to the financial crisis, Mr Graffeo said. "If proprietary trading contributed to the crisis and regulators had but did not use authority to restrict it, Sen. Shelby believes we should hold them accountable, not give them more authority."
Sen. Shelby is clear that he doesn't support the amendment for the reasons given. He also doesn't like how the administration "air dropped" the Volcker Rule into the mix when Capitol Hill is already working on the reforms presented by the Treasury Department. Sen. Dodd echoed this adding that the rule was "excessively ambitious" to the point that it could stall all reform.
Complaining about the timing is rich coming from a do-nothing legislature that has failed to move on those reforms more than 16 months after the failure of Lehman Brothers. Moreover, ambition – to create a response equal to the crisis we've endured – isn't stalling reform. It is real reform.
But that's how it is in Washington these days. Unlike the Congress of the 1930s this body is more beholden to politics than to reforming a broken system that has put the American economy in a hole so deep the competitiveness of every American industry is now in question.
History be damned, they told Mr. Volcker. Even if we're doomed to repeat it.

Sotheby's to Offer a Unique Collection of Imperial Porcelain
Nicolas Chow, Sotheby's Deputy Chairman and International Head of Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art showing a Massive Qianlong Imperial White Jade 'Xintian Zhuren' Seal, Qing Dynasty during a press preview in Hong Kong, China. The Seal will be auctioned as part of the total estimate over 780 million Hong Kong dollars or about 100 million US dollars at Sotheby's Fine Chinese Ceramics and Works of Art Autumn Sale on 7-8 October, and the work is estimated to fetch 25-30 million Hong Kong dollars or about 3.21-3.85 million US dollars. EPA/YM YIK .
Hong Kong will hold an unprecedented sale of Chinese ceramics and works of art, titled Masterpieces Of Qing Imperial Porcelain From J.T. Tai & Co., on 7 October 2010 at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre, comprising 13 lots and expected to bring in excess of HK$170 million/US$22 million. The second part of the collection will be offered at Sothebys New York during its Asia Week in March, 2011.
The imperial Chinese porcelains from the J.T. Tai Foundation features eight vases made during the peak period of imperial porcelain production under the Qianlong Emperor, one of Chinas greatest art lovers and imperial patrons, each of which boasts a collecting history in the West traceable to the 19th century.
The highlight in the present group is an exceptional Pair of Floral Medallion Vases Enamelled in the Imperial Workshops (Est. HK$6080 million and HK$8 10 million; the vases are offered as two individual lots), exquisitely enamelled with Flowers of the Four Seasons. The floral scenes are reminiscent of Beijing-enamelled glass, the scrollwork on the neck of Beijing-enamelled copper, which would have been executed in the same workshops, by the same painters. Porcelains painted in Beijing are generally unique, pairs are not identical but complementary, so both vases show the same flowers but in different compositions.
Other vases in the group come from Fonthill House, one of the grand English country estates, from the collection of Alfred Morrison (182197). Porcelain painters at Jingdezhen adopted techniques developed at Beijing in the early Qianlong reign, and it resulted in the most sumptuous porcelain decoration. Sgraffiato work, where a formal design is carved into a solid background colour, was perfected at Jingdezhen: scrollwork engraved with a needlepoint conveyed an impression of rich brocade. A particularly elegant specimen is the Yellow-Ground Famille-Rose Double-Gourd Vase (Est. HK$3050 million), the production of which would have required multiple overlapping of the different colours and formidable organization of the design.
Roughly contemporary and yet different in style is A Robins Egg-Ground Gilt-Decorated Archaistic Vase (Est.HK$1825 million) with stylised dragons vaguely inspired by archaic ritual bronzes of the Western Zhou period (circa 1050771 BCE). The mottled turquoise glaze that forms the background to the coffee-brown relief design evokes the blue-green patina of ancient metalwork. The quality and variety of the J. T. Tai vases provide an unparalleled glimpse into the craftsmanship and stylistic range of Chinese potters at their most ambitious period.
J. T. Tai (1910-1992)
In late 1920s, Tai Jun Tsei, or J. T. Tai (1910-1992) became an apprentice to his Uncle Chin, his mothers brother, at his antique shop in Wuxi, where J. T. Tai was brought up. He clearly had a good eye and business acumen, because in due course he was given the responsibility of travelling to neighbouring provinces to buy stock.
In the 1930s, he moved to Shanghai and opened his own shop and, in January 1932, he married Chang Ping Ying. However, the advancing Japanese invasion progressively removed all possibility of a normal life culminating in the brutal battle of Shanghai in1937. He and his family finally left Shanghai in April 1949 for Hong Kong and he never again returned to his home country.
With China now closed to the world for any art business Hong Kong must have had limited scope for an ambitious young man. Inevitably J. T. Tai was drawn to the markets of America and Europe, and in 1950 he took the bold decision to make the move to New York.
In the spring of 1953, he flew to France and England on his first buying trip. On 24th March he attended the sale of Ming Ceramics from the collection of Mrs Alfred Clarke at Sothebys London. The inscrutable Chinese man from New York was an exotic and remarkable addition to the occasion, buying eleven lots and some of the best pieces.
He returned to London many times during the 1960s and 1970s, as he became the greatest of a new post war generation of Chinese art dealers. He was very knowledgeable about pottery and porcelain so at the sale of the collection made by the London dealer H. R. Norton in November 1963 he purchased the star of the collection. This was a superb 15th Century blue and white Meiping with its original cover for the then world record price of £8,000. He made it his business to seek out collectors who had both the enthusiasm and the resources to create sensational collections. The two with whom he worked most closely were Avery Brundage, whose remarkable collection forms the core of the Asian Art Museum in San Francisco and Arthur Sackler whose collection is substantially housed in the Arthur M. Sackler Museum in Washington.
In 1982 Mr Tai set up The J. T. Tai & Co. Foundation, Inc., which under his direction began by sponsoring medical students before spreading its grants to include medical research, the American Red Cross and many other charities. It also made a number of donations to Peking University, Beijing and to SooChow University, Taiwan. The Foundation will benefit from these auctions and will continue to give generously to the causes which Tai Jun Tsei himself chose.

Pittsburgh Steelers defensive coordinator Dick leBeau was recently asked if his defense is struggling because of age.
"I don't believe the problems we're experiencing there are age-related," LeBeau said via ESPN.com. "I really don't."
He also doesn't believe they need to rebuild.
"I definitely don't think the defense needs rebuilding," LeBeau said of a unit that has slipped to 13th this season in yards allowed. "Maybe their coach is getting a little old. I think the players can still get it done. I do."
The Steelers not only need to retool on defense, but they need some help on offense as well.

Animals Make Us Human

The best-selling animal advocate Temple Grandin offers the most exciting exploration of how animals feel since The Hidden Life of Dogs.
In her groundbreaking and best-selling book Animals in Translation, Temple Grandin drew on her own experience with autism as well as her distinguished career as an animal scientist to deliver extraordinary insights into how animals think, act, and feel. Now she builds on those insights to show us how to give our animals the best and happiest life--on their terms, not ours.
It's usually easy to pinpoint the cause of physical pain in animals, but to know what is causing them emotional distress is much harder. rawing on the latest research and her own work, Grandin identifies the core emotional needs of animals. Then she explains how to fulfill them for dogs and cats, horses, farm animals, and zoo animals.Whether it's how to make the healthiest environment for the dog you must leave alone most of the day, how to keep pigs from being bored, or how to know if the lion pacing in the zoo is miserable or just exercising, Grandin teaches us to challenge our assumptions about animal contentment and honor our bond with our fellow creatures.
Animals Make Us Human is the culmination of almost thirty years of research, experimentation, and experience.
This is essential reading for anyone who's ever owned, cared for, or simply cared about an animal.
CATHERINE JOHNSON, Ph.D., is a writer specializing in neuropsychiatry and the brain. She cowrote Animals in Translation and served as a trustee of the National Alliance for Autism Research for seven years. She lives with her husband and three sons—two of whom have autism—in New York.
Animal-behavior specialist Temple Grandin explains how her personal experiences with autism have in some ways enhanced her work — and shed new light on the way in which we communicate with animals. More at NPR.org

Author Marshall Frank will be at the Jackson County Public Library in Sylva on Thursday, July 12, at 7 p.m. for a talk based on his books and experiences as a police officer.
Frank's most recent book is a thriller entitled "The Upside to Murder." The novel follows a respected Miami physician as he tries to protect his daughter, already the victim of a horribly violent crime and now having to relive it as the case moves to trial.
Much of Frank's writing is inspired by his 30 years as a police officer, including his years as a homicide detective in Miami-Dade County. His previous books include both novels and non-fiction, including a memoir entitled "From Violins to Violence," which chronicles his early life as the step-son of a Miami Beach mobster.

Description/achievement of initiative
The Soil Conservation Plan (2003-2014) sets goals for mitigation of land degradation and decertification, revegetation of eroded land, and attaining sustainable land use.
Source: The Icelandic Government
The parliament of Iceland launched a comprehensive programme, giving the Soil Conservation Service of Iceland an operational framework for the period 2003-2014. This programme sets goals for mitigation of land degradation and decertification, revegetation of eroded land, and attaining sustainable land use. The main tools for the programme's achievements were described, and financing improved substantially, mainly for halting desertification, extending farmer involvement in healing the land, and by establishing a new land care incentives programme that was mainly intended for projects at the communal or co-operative level.

Mac & Gaydos
Putting Jason Collins' coming out in perspective
Jason Collins became the first openly gay professional athlete in one of the four major sports on Monday.
Brave decision to come out of closet? Yes, but let's put this into perspective.
Is this a Jackie Robinson moment? Absolutely not. Robinson obviously couldn't hide the fact that he was black. Collins hid the fact that he was gay his entire life. Collins may have some trouble down the line with some fans and a few players, but equating it with what Jackie Robinson did is ridiculous.
How hard was it for Collins to come out? Probably very hard but he has tremendous support. He knew he would get tremendous support. Think of it like this: When a 13-year-old kid comes out of the closet, he or she doesn't get a call from President Obama and former President Clinton. No tweets from Ellen and Kobe. No Facebook messages from celebrities.
The 13-year-old gay kid gets bullied at school.
The 13-year-old kid who comes out of the closet doesn't get book deals and won't be hired at a pretty penny for speaking engagements, but a very average NBA player at the end of his career will if he says he is gay.
Don't get me wrong, I wish Collins the best. It was a brilliant business move as well. He was the first athlete to tell the world that he's gay. Brave? Yes.
But how brave?
Not as brave the 13-year-old who struggles to say, "I'm not going to hide who I am."
Not as brave as the 13-year-old who deals with the playground bullies everyday.
Not as brave as the 13-year-old who tells his/her parents that they are gay.
The 13-year-old kid who comes out of the closet. That's amazing bravery.

Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites.
(c) Finally, you can
Banish Yourself

Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr photography database, allowing search by: tags(keywords); Flickr photography groups; Flickr users, their contacts, and favorites; free text; the Flickr Explore algorithm for interestingness. Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Written by:

DefinitionLaryngitis is swelling of the voice box, including the vocal cords. Vocal cords normally create sounds by opening and closing. Swelling makes movement of the vocal cords difficult which makes you sound hoarse or prevents sounds at all.

CausesLaryngitis is caused by irritation, overuse, or infection of the voice box. Some of the most common irritants include:Less often laryngitis may be caused by certain medical conditions such as:
- Noncancerous growths on the vocal cords
- Functional dysphonia—abnormal use of the vocal mechanisms despite normal anatomy
- Laryngeal papilloma—growths on the larynx caused by HPV infection
- Muscle tension dysphonia—a voice disorder caused by excessive or unequal tension while speaking
- Reinkes edema—an accumulation of fluid in the vocal cords, usually associated with smoking
- Spasmodic dysphonia—a condition resulting in irregular voice breaks
- Vocal cord paralysis—weakness or immobility of the vocal cords
- Autoimmune and granulomatous conditions
Risk FactorsFactors that may increase your chance of laryngitis include:
- Upper respiratory tract infection—often caused by a virus, like a cold
- Yelling, singing, and speaking loudly for extended periods of time
- Inhaling airborne irritants—such as cigarette smoke or chemicals
- Allergies to dust, mold, and pollen
- Uncontrolled gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD)—stomach acid that rises up in the throat
- Using inhaled asthma medications
- Excess alcohol consumption
- Bacterial or fungal infections—much less common
