Never mind the "R" on his card; Colin Powell isn't a Republican. At least, he isn't one in the modern sense of the word, in what it's meant since the Reagan administration. Sir Colin Powell, who was both knighted by the Queen of England and by the Order of the Bath of Scotland, and who has won practically every honor and award that exists in English-speaking nations, is in many ways an inheritor of America's last real Republican president: Dwight Eisenhower. Many ways, indeed…except for one.
Both Powell and Eisenhower were noted military commanders, many times decorated and beloved by the American people. Both men brought with them to Washington the pragmatic streak of most good military commanders, as well as a high degree of human concern for those that they affected. Throughout their lives, both also benefited from what was essentially the socialized medical program offered by the military to soldiers and family members. Eisenhower was, for his part, ideologically opposed the same form of socialized medicine for the American public — but, oh times, how they change.
Back in 1958, in the heart of Eisenhower's presidency, the average person had to work about 15 days a year to pay for all of their healthcare needs. As of 2012, about 45 years of tender care from our wonderfully efficient "free market" system later, the average person has to work approximately 467 hours — about 58 full days — out of each year to not die from the common cold. That's almost a four-fold increase in cost per person from the day that Eisenhower came out in opposition to what he saw as a Soviet-style healthcare system.
So, what might Eisenhower say today? How would America's Last Republican President feel about a nation where the poorest were daily dying of treatable illnesses, and cancer and heart disease killed 1.2 million people a year? He might have said something like what Colin Powell (a prostate cancer survivor whose wife recently survived three aneurysms and an arterial blockage) did on Thursday, at a Seattle prostate cancer fundraiser:
"We are a wealthy enough country with the capacity to make sure that every one of our fellow citizens has access to quality health care. Let's show the rest of the world what our democratic system is all about and how we take care of all of our citizens.
I am not an expert in health care, or Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, or however you choose to describe it, but I do know this: I have benefited from that kind of universal health care in my 55 years of public life. And I don't see why we can't do what Europe is doing, what Canada is doing, what Korea is doing, what all these other places are doing."
After sharing the story of his wife, Powell went on to tell the audience about a local woman, a friend who sold him firewood, and who had a dangerous growth in her brain:
"She and her family live out in the country somewhere, they have very limited means. I buy wood from her every year. I've got about four years worth of wood out in the back yard. I can't resist her, and she needs the money."
Powell gave her the money she needed for her MRI.
"After these two events, of Alma and Anne, I've been thinking, why is it like this? Every country I've visited, every developed country, they have universal health care. They don't understand why the United States of America, which uses more health care than just about anybody else, still (has) 40 million people not properly insured.
I think universal health care is one of the things we should really be focused on, and I hope that will happen. Whether it's Obamacare, or son of Obamacare, I don't care. As long as we get it done."
So, is that what the Last Real Republican would have said in new era, facing down a healthcare crisis, wages that don't permit one breadwinner to support his or her family, and an economy in which the middle class has become nearly a myth of its own making?
It's hard to say…maybe he'd be screaming from overpasses and hanging teabags from his ten-gallon, American-flag novelty hat while quoting Glenn Beck as gospel. But, somehow, we kind of doubt it.

UPDATE: Fmr Teacher Sentenced to 4 Years in Prison; Schuler Found Guilty of All Counts After Being Accused of Having Sex With Students
UPDATE, 4:08p ET: A former Ohio high school teacher has been sentenced to four years in prison for having sex with teenage boys at her home.
Judge Robert Peeler has ruled that Stacy Schuler is guilty on all counts after being accused of having sex with students, stating that Schuler is not insane. The judge said that the state has proven sexual battery on underage persons.
The verdict was issued shortly after closing arguments were presented in the trial of the former southwest Ohio high school teacher.
Earlier this week, five former Mason High School students testified that they had sexual encounters with Schuler at her Springboro home.
Schuler, 33-years-old, had been a teacher and athletic trainer at the school north of Cincinnati since 2000. She resigned in February after being charged with sexual battery.
She had pleaded not guilty by reason of insanity. Her lawyers argued that she had medical and psychological issues and doesn't remember the alleged incidents, and that students took advantage of her.

Human trafficking sounds like a crime that takes place in a big city or exotic country, but police and child welfare experts say it occurs right here in Connecticut in increasing numbers.
In December, the state police Casino Licensing & Operations Unit charged a 24-year-old Providence woman with bringing a 16-year-old girl to the Two Trees Inn on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation for a prearranged sexual encounter. Kaieema E. Gadson, charged with trafficking in persons and promoting prostitution, posted a $5,000 bond and is due back in court on Feb. 4.
The case reached the major crimes docket in New London Superior Court around the same time the state Department of Children and Families announced a forum to raise awareness about domestic minor sex trafficking in Connecticut. On Wednesday, more than 200 people, including judges, law enforcement officers, medical providers, hospital administrators and school officials are expected to attend the day-long forum at the Connecticut Convention Center in Hartford.
During the past few years, 130 girls and boys in Connecticut have been identified as child sex slaves, according to DCF, and the agency has recently experienced a substantial increase in reports of suspected or actual human trafficking of children. At the forum, state and national experts will discuss the scope of the crime as well as legal and forensic treatment issues and how the state is working to combat what the agency describes as "the egregious victimization of children."
Gov. Dannel Malloy and DCF Commissioner Joette Katz are scheduled to speak, and key supporters of the event include the Judicial Branch, the Office of the Chief State's Attorney, the Mohegan Tribe and the Department of Consumer Protection.
A preliminary police report in the Mashantucket human trafficking case does not identify the relationship between Gadson and the teen-age victim, who was detained at the scene and taken to a hospital for a medical evaluation. But according to the DCF, traffickers often are friends or family members who employ a number of techniques, including physical and emotional abuse, to keep their victim in bondage.
In December, a joint task force of local, state and federal law enforcement agents conducted an investigation into prostitution at Foxwoods Resort Casino after receiving information about the pervasive use of online sites such as backpages.com to arrange paid sexual encounters. Participating agencies included the state police, Department of Homeland Security, FBI and Mashantucket Tribal Police Department.
On Dec. 19, agents identified "several individuals knowingly engaged in prostitution," at Two Trees, which is a tribe-owned hotel located near Foxwoods Resort Casino on the Mashantucket Pequot reservation. Gadson, who had been previously targeted for trafficking minor females and promoting prostitution, was arrested for delivering the teen-age girl to a prearranged locations "with intentions of waiting for the individual to fulfill a sexual encounter for a fee," according to the report.
Gadson, who was arrested without incident, had only been charged with motor vehicle offenses in the past, but could face additional charges. State police said they are preparing an arrest warrant application based on a previous sex trafficking/prostitution incident involving a minor.

I have the following code:
var x = new Thread(new ThreadStart(Delegate));
This will create a new thread and start it.
How can I detect that thread X has started to execute without a do while loop right after?
I have the following code:
This will create a new thread and start it.
How can I detect that thread X has started to execute without a do while loop right after?
Use a semaphore a mutex, or an Auto/ManualResetEvent.
Deep explanation
One of the principles behind multithreading is non-determinism. If you don't use proper techniques, as described above, you cannot predict the behaviour of operations done in multiple threads If you have a method like this
Then you are sure that B is never executed before A or after C. The same doesn't apply to multithreading.
You are sure that the thread running B is
So if you debug them to console (think each does a
So you now want to make sure, but really, really sure, that a particular or every thread has really started before running D. In fact, in many of the single-core CPU cases, the OS is supposed to run
Explicit synchronization is the technique to forcefully pause the execution of code and wait for an event to occur. The event depicted by the release of the semaphore depends on the context, so in your case, you're just telling the main thread "Wait for Delegate to have started, then do whatever you want" :)
Alternate, inefficient method
Using semaphores is just an efficient way of doing the following with an infinite loop
Using semaphore doesn't simply waste CPU for continuously checking if a certain flag is low or high
At a most basic level, you can try:
You can use the Thread.ThreadState property to find its state.
The simplest way, assuming that the thread is to be long-lived, is to check Thread.IsAlive.

1863 Quarter Eagle, PR66 Ultra Cameo, Tied for Finest Certified of This Legendary Rarity1863 $2 1/2 PR66 Ultra Cameo NGC. The 1841 "Little Princess" and the 1863, both proof-only issues, are the foremost rarities in the Coronet quarter eagle series, along with the vaunted 1854-S issue. Only the 1841, the 1854-S, and the 1804 13 Stars can compare in overall rarity to the 1863 in the quarter eagle series. The 1863 quarter eagles were struck from a single pair of dies on March 23 of that year. Famed numismatist W. Elliott Woodward wrote in his catalog of the John F. McCoy Collection: "Of the quarter eagle of 1863, I have positive knowledge that only 30 pieces were struck; hence this coin is now one of the rarest of the series." Garrett and Guth (2006) estimate that 15 to 20 pieces exist today. Many examples have been polished or are otherwise impaired. To date, NGC and PCGS combined have certified a total of 19 examples, a figure that undoubtedly includes some resubmissions (9/06). This elusive rarity appears only infrequently at auction, and was absent from many of the earlier great collections. The Norweb Collection contained a PR45 example, and the Bass Collection specimen was a PR64 Deep Cameo. Among extant survivors, two coins are in the Smithsonian Institution, one from the original Mint Cabinet, and a second bequeathed as part of the Josiah K. Lilly Collection. The Garrett-Guth Gold Encyclopedia notes, "Very few United States coins have a total mintage of only 30 coins; therefore, the issue is very popular and trades for substantial sums when offered for sale." This coin is included among the 100 Greatest U.S. Coins (Garrett and Guth, 2005).
The current PR66 Ultra Cameo specimen boasts a bold, robust strike and phenomenal black-on-gold contrast between the profoundly mirrored fields and the deeply frosted devices. Each side is a consistent, attractive medium yellow-gold. There are no mentionable contact marks, but a trivial lintmark through the lower serif of the first A in AMERICA will serve as a future pedigree identifier. This coin is tied with one other NGC example at the top of the Condition Census, and it is, by two grade points, the finest Heritage has had the privilege to offer. It is a stunningly beautiful representation of one of the classic proof gold rarities--one that has long been recognized as among the most elusive and desirable in all of U.S. numismatics. Census: 2 in 66 Ultra Cameo, none finer (9/06).

This is the second video in my little ambient series. Its a slow, expansive version of a new track from the upcoming new album. The Bluesky pedal creates the atmospheric shimmering sound, helped by a long analog delay pedal. The music was recorded on a cassette deck which noticeably changed speed towards the end!
The pedal chain is: guitar into a Bad Monkey tube overdrive (didn't use that one in this video though), Boss Chorus (CE-3), Electro Harmonix Memory Toy analog delay, Strymon Bluesky Reverberator which was stereo out into the cassette recorder.

June 10, 2008—Frank Schiavone fumed inside his Acura MDX, stuck behind the gates of a railroad crossing in downtown Riverside.
Five minutes went by, then 10. Schiavone, a Riverside councilman, wondered how late he would be for an appointment at City Hall as he stared at the freight cars double-stacked with shipping containers. Around him, hundreds of other motorists sat, engines idling, their plans on hold.
Schiavone had been trapped yet again by America's enormous appetite for imported goods an increasingly common experience in his city, which is trisected by rail lines carrying about 125 trains a day.
Municipal officials say freight trains have delayed more than 500 ambulances, police cars and fire trucks in Riverside during the last five years some for as long as 15 minutes.
"I'm glad I'm not in the back of an ambulance on my way to the hospital in this city," Schiavone said.
Whether the delay comes at a rail crossing or behind a line of big rigs on a clogged interstate, hundreds of thousands of Southern Californians routinely live with the side effects of the region's huge and growing role in international trade.
The ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach make up the nation's largest harbor complex, handling 44% of all goods imported by cargo container into the United States. Last year, the equivalent of 7.85 million 40-foot shipping containers poured through the ports, with most then moving along the region's highways to massive rail yards and warehouses before heading to the nation's interior.
Trade has generated hundreds of thousands of jobs in Southern California. Moving goods is now one of the largest industries in the region, one that helps provide low-cost imports to consumers across the country. The ports are among the region's most valuable economic engines.
But that commerce also helps foul the region's air with diesel exhaust and contributes to paralyzing traffic on the region's streets and highways, many of which were built in the 1950s and '60s and never designed to handle so much cargo.
"If we weren't providing a gateway for the country to consume all these cheap products from Asia, we would have a lot better mobility," said Norm King, a founder of the transportation institute at Cal State San Bernardino.
According to the Federal Highway Administration, highways used for commerce in the Los Angeles area rank among the worst in the nation in terms of delay. That unfortunate distinction is not expected to change soon.
The volume of cargo, which has tripled in the last two decades, is forecast to almost triple again in the next 20 years. By 2025, the number of truck trips on the 710 and 60 freeways and the 10 in the Inland Empire is expected to double to accommodate port growth.
The cost to deal with congestion related to goods movement or simply to keep it at current levels is enormous, $18 billion statewide, mostly in Southern California, according to a recent report for the state Legislature.
A transportation bond measure passed by California voters in November 2006 set aside about $3 billion for such projects statewide. The ballot initiative is only a start, according to transportation experts who urgently tout a list of high-priced projects, which include:
* Eliminating 131 street-level rail crossings in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties cost $4.5 billion.
* Rebuilding an 18-mile stretch of the 710 Freeway from the harbor to Interstate 5, adding four new lanes exclusively for trucks cost at least $6 billon.
* A magnetically levitated train to haul cargo from the ports to warehouses in San Bernardino County cost $6 billion to $8 billion.
Who should pay for the construction remains hotly debated. Local government officials and regional planners say the federal government should pick up a larger share of the cost because trade through Southern California's ports benefits the nation as a whole.

A pressure sore (bed
sore) is an injury to the skin and/or the tissues under the skin. Constant
pressure on an area of skin reduces blood supply to the area. Over time, it can
cause the skin to break down and form an open sore (ulcer).
Pressure sores are more likely to form if you or a person you are caring for is
in the hospital or is confined to a chair or bed.
Pressure sores
most often form on the skin over
bony areas where there is little cushion between the bone and the skin. Most
pressure sores form on the lower part of the body, including over the tailbone
and on the back along the spine, on the buttocks, on the hips, and on the
heels. Other common spots are the back of the head; the backs of the ears; the
shoulders, elbows, and ankles; and between the knees where the legs rub
Pressure sores can range from red areas on the surface
of the skin to severe tissue damage that goes deep into muscle and bone. These
sores are hard to treat and slow to heal. Other problems, such as
bone, blood, and
skin infections, can develop when pressure sores do
not heal properly.
Things that cause
pressure sores include:
As we get older, our skin gets more thin and dry and
less elastic, so it is easier to damage. Poor nutrition—common among older
people and people who cannot move easily—makes these natural changes in the
skin worse. Skin in this condition may easily develop
a pressure sore.
Treatment focuses on
preventing a sore from getting worse and on making the skin healthy again.
Treatment includes:
If infection develops, the person will need
antibiotics. Severe pressure sores may need
These steps
can help keep skin healthy:
People at greatest risk for getting pressure sores are those who:

Not a Rick Steves Tour
We just returned from our sixth R.S. tour (Best of Paris). We were given a box full of free goodies (tour books, maps, money belts, etc.) Last spring my husband and I did a Danube River Cruise with a major tour company. We received a name and baggage tag, that's all. Our name tags had bus #3 of 4 buses. Does this say anything for the number of people on this tour. The tour company did met us at the airport, great start. The Munich hotel was miles from center of town, not a convenient location to anything. (R.S. puts you in the center of town, walking distance to all the right places to see, with maps &/or a guide) Our bags were placed on the bus and then delivered to our rooms. Some people not traveling light, may think this is good service, but it took a huge amount of time waiting. With so many people, it took forever to check every one in. During those two weeks, we kept saying Rick Steves would never do it this way!! Jana

Billy Ray's baby
Miley Cyrus was the overwhelming takeaway from this year's MTV Video Music Awards - for all the wrong reasons.
The former Disney starlet twerked, stuck out her tongue and grabbed her crotch as A–list colleagues (Rihanna, One Direction) watched with visible dismay. Our chron.com commenters were none too impressed over at our Tubular blog (blog.chron.com/tubular).
- "It was painful to watch, and then she ruined 'Blurred Lines,' too," ShannonMC said.
- "If she continues to market herself as 'meat on the hoof', she shouldn't be surprised someday to find herself on a butcher's table," TransAmer99 wrote.
- "Know what would shock me? Artistry. Anybody can strip down to their (underwear) and run around the stage with their tongue hanging out. Somebody wake me when a true artist comes along," Martin Brody added.
Despite the bad press, Cyrus' stunts are paying off. Two singles - "We Can't Stop" and "Wrecking Ball" - have spent the past several days in the iTunes Top 5. ("We Can't Stop" is her biggest Billboard hit to date.) Her upcoming "Bangerz" album, due Oct. 8, has also enjoyed healthy presales.
'Reality Bites' again
Now that NBC is talking about bringing "Reality Bites" to television, we finally get another chance to see what Helen Childress can do. The High School for Performing and Visual Arts grad, who grew up in Missouri City's Quail Valley, wrote the screenplay for the 1994 romantic comedy about a group of friends living in Houston. Ben Stiller directed, and the two are teaming again on the script, which centers on Lelaina Pierce, a recent college grad who records the angst-ridden lives of her Gen X friends with her video camera.
When the film was released, Childress told the Chronicle's Louis B. Parks that the experiences are "100 percent" those of herself and her friends. "I really didn't have anything else to work on. I put our attitudes and feelings into the script." She was 24 at the time.
What do chron.com readers think of the news of a TV version?
- 20 years too late, JB says.
- But Vince countered: "Whether this will be any good is up for debate, but if you're going to do it, this is actually a pretty good time to attempt this:
"Happy Days" - launched in the 1970s, setting in the 1950s
"The Wonder Years" - launched in the 1980s, setting in the 1960s
"That '70s Show" - launched in the 1990s, setting in the 1970s
- Melissa Ward Aguilar
Music of Lisa Marie
One hang-up with being Lisa Marie Presley will be that familial connections - including a famous father, mother and ex-husband - will likely always trump notice for any musical accomplishments. But in the 10 years since releasing her debut album, Presley has issued two more, suggesting she's not just dabbling in music.
The latest is "Storm & Grace," which was produced by the great T Bone Burnett and released last year. And Presley is out on the road plugging the record. The tour will bring her to the Dosey Doe, 25911 I-45 N., in The Woodlands on Sept. 15.
Tickets run $78-$98 (dinner included) at 281-367-3774 or doseydoe.com. And $218 gets you a VIP pass, which includes admission to Presley's sound check and an opportunity to take a photo with her.
On chron.com, Presley isn't getting many breaks. "She seems to be lacking the genuine entertainment value her dad had," January says. "She's just like Nancy Sinatra; has her father's name but not the talent," SammieJo agreed.
But JReynolds wishes her "nothing but happiness. She has, from birth, found herself in one exceptionally unique situation after another - no hand of cards like anyone else has ever been dealt."

As the sun sets and dusk falls across the world, the bats unfurl from their roosts in dark caverns and beneath the eaves to begin their hunt. Their wrinkled appearance and erratic flight, coupled with their nocturnal habits resulted in the creature's demonization. Named in the Bible as "The Devil's bird", the bat's reputation was further soured by the Vampiric link, with many tales of vampires being able to turn at will into a bat-like form.
Yet there is a certain elegance and grace in the bat's silhouette that inspires awe, as well as fear. Their ability to navigate the darkest of nights is cause for both uncertainty and respect, and it is this mixture of emotion that captures the human imagination.
German peasants were known to nail a bat's carcass to their door to ward off the devil while in South America they were thought to be devourers of the sun, flocking around the Lord of the Underworld, Mictlantecuhtli.
Associated in some cultures with the spirit of the dead, and known to haunt the peaceful seclusion of graveyards, bats have become a symbol of the Gothic lifestyle and movement, encapsulating both the macabre and mysterious. As such, it has become a simple yet effective motif among Alchemy Gothic jewelry and other items.
Whether it is subtle, bat-like shapes such as you might find in the Mircalla jewelry, or more blatant tributes such as those found in Kiss the Night and La Danse De La Nuit, Alchemy has chosen to celebrate the quintessential gothic form of the bat. Not only is it linked to the vampiric, often incorporated into the vampire jewelry, but it is used to form Gothic shapes in steampunk pieces such as the wings of the Empire Aeronautiqua.
Across the world the bat is often regarded with fear and distaste, yet to some cultures they represent entirely different ideas. In the orient and Japan is it regarded as something different, often symbolising courage, happiness and bravery, rather than the presence of evil within. In Egypt, it was believed that bats guard fresh water, while in parts of Africa and Greece they are considered to be a creature of vigilance.
However, the form of the bat still continues to be the epitomic sybolism of Halloween and gothic taste, carrying both mystery and darkness beneath its wings. As such, the bat's form is an undeniable influence on a wide range of Alchemy Gothic's creations.

NVchooser.sh and drivers that doesn't exist!
Hi all, i downloaded NVchooser.sh from NVidia driver page and he said me that I should download :
But these files are not on NVidia list of avaible drivers!! For SUsE 8.1 the only avaible is for i586 architecture!
Where can i find them??
Thank you all
Just use the i586 ones.
I don't know why NVchooser doesn't work as well with SuSE as it works with other distros, but the SuSE kernels are built for i586 now, so using the i586 kernel driver shouldn't cause any problems.

And it works, doc. I've used the rack the last few days and it's so much easier to get a particular piece out rather than rifling through a bunch of plastic bags hanging up.
Tubing storage?
Posted 26 December 2012 - 03:25 AM
Posted 02 January 2013 - 05:34 PM
Well my drawers worked sort of. Idea was sound, but not enough of them...I made 2 of them 10" wide 3/4 deep. Thought about adding another one but I don't think that will be enough either. So now i have some 3/4 thin wall plastic tubing ordered from a local glass shop. I don't have room for a lot of tubes, but i hope a couple dozen will fit in my space. if the tubes cover everything, I could have a couple drawers left over....Guessing it will use all of everything i make. I will post photos when i get finished.

Well,, I finally got something finished with the storage issue. Took a while since i promised myself I would start cleaning up the workbenches in the garage too. Saturdays in the garage and sundays in the workshop. Here is a before...
All I had was a few PVC pipes glued together to make a horizontal rack.
first attempt -2 drawers which didnot provide near enough room.
Found a local glass shop that could get me polycorbonate tubing and cut it to length. 24 pieces 6" for a buck each and about 2 1/2 feet left over. I have since found that the tubing can be cut niceley with a pipe cutter. Went to menards and picked up a sheet of .093 polycarbonate sheet. Cut out discs with a hollow puch and hammer then glued them to one end. Made a rack and I am done right? Still not enough room so I made anther drawer so everything fits and is off the workbench.
Overall pleased with the results and now I can get to work on something else. Thanks to all of you for your ideas and photos, you gave me the inspiration to make something better than I had!

I got some Cheap 1 inch diameter 11 inch tall Clear tube for storage.
They were at Wally's in the Christmas clearance, and filled with Gumballs!!!
I paid 49, Cents each for 6.
Oh, They were Candy Canes!!
Went back for more, but they were gone.

Very nice, Steve. It's nice to be organized and find stuff right away when you need it.
