YIELD: Makes about 4 quarts, serving 8
ACTIVE TIME: 50 minutes
TOTAL TIME: 1 hour and 10 minutes
Slit chiles open and remove seeds and veins. Heat a flat griddle or dry heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat until hot, then toast the chiles, opened flat, 2 at a time, by pressing down and turning on either side with tongs, until fragrant and insides change color, about 1 minute.
Put chiles in a bowl with cold water to cover and let soak until soft, about 20 minutes.
While chiles are soaking, cook onion in oil in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until golden, 15 to 20 minutes.
Transfer chiles with tongs to a blender (discard soaking water) and add garlic, cider vinegar, cumin, oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, sugar, cloves, and 1 cup water. Blend until smooth, about 1 minute.
Add chile purée to pot and cook, stirring, 5 minutes.
Add remaining 5 cups water, hominy, beans, zucchini, corn, and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, stirring occasionally, until zucchini is tender, about 20 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
To serve the stew, surround it with small bowls of the accompaniments and let the guests garnish their servings as they wish.
Cooks' Note: Like all stews, the flavor of pozole improves as it stands. It will be even better when made up to 2 days ahead.

- Release Date: Apr 7, 2006
- Summary: A sexy, witty, emotional and life-affirming story of friendship and family, which shows that even through difficult times the love, strength, and humor of the ones closest to you can make life, no matter how brief, worth living. (Strand Releasing)
- Director: Eddy Terstall
- Genre(s): Drama, Comedy

Score distribution:
Positive: 3 out of 5
Mixed: 1 out of 5
Negative: 1 out of 5
Tackles weighty social issues with quiet intelligence and low-key charm.
Eddy Terstall's film is bipolar and ultimately wrenching, but it works if you let it.
Eddy Terstall's mild brand of humor and predictable throat-catching weepiness works strictly along boob-tube illness-of-the-week lines, with plentiful shots of topless women.
If you go to the movies to ogle topless young women, Simon is definitely for you. If, on the other hand, you want something more cerebral with your $10 ticket and overpriced snacks, stay clear of this Dutch melodrama.

Sometimes, the simplest toys are the best ones.
We wish we could remember how amazing it felt to learn something as simple as what a shadow is. Instead we're stuck barely being able to remember all of our passwords for internet logins.
There's a reason dogs are called man's best friend.
Calling all moms! Most of you, I'm certain, have run into to this little issue: when nature calls and you're in a public restroom with a baby and no stroller, then what do you do? Let me introduce you to the Babykeeper.
We've said it before, and we'll say it again -- if you're going to subject yourself to the stress of parenthood, you may as well use your kids for party tricks. This dad has taught his almost two-year-old
Finding that perfect gift for new parents is a challenging task to tackle. If you are looking for that unique and creative gift, you could try some of these. Be warned, though, these are the world's most disturbing and crazy baby gifts.
Jacob and Sophia are not a couple in the latest movie adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel, but they may be soon at this rate.
For most kids, finding out you're going to be a big brother or big sister is a really exciting thing. My situation was a bit different because my parents are divorced. My mom told me she was expecting and the baby was due that August. I told my dad I wanted to stay at his house because when the baby started crying, and they proceeded to tell me that they too were expecting a baby due about the same time as my mom. I had no where to run. My attitude eventually changed, but I wish I could have been excited as these two girls.
Toddlers and cheetahs, two things not usually used in the same sentence (much less the same room), but for a family who lives in Africa, it's just the norm.
It's pretty much impossible to understand what a baby is actually saying, unless of course you're also a baby.
There are many great things to watching a child grow up: their first step, their first word, and of course, watching them turn simple English into dirty, foul-mouthed words that make any adult crack up.

But What Do the Polls Show?
Perhaps the best way to think about public opinion and its relationship to politics and policymaking is that the American public is typically short on facts, but often long on judgment.
Accurately Locating Where Wireless Respondents Live Requires More Than A Phone Number
The mobile nature of wireless phones creates a significant problem for geographic sampling.This problem is exacerbated by the fact that the wireless-only are more geographically mobile than those with landline phones.
Perils of Polling in Election '08
Despite such challenges as a growing wireless-only population, possible racially-related response bias and greater-than-usual difficulties in forecasting turnout, polllsters' methods were evidently adequate to the task.
Why Surveys of Muslim Americans Differ
Because Muslim Americans make up a very small percentage of the U.S. public, it is difficult to provide a reliable picture of their views and differences in survey design can crucially affect findings.
New Tricks for Old — and New — Dogs
Pollsters and other communications researchers are finding their job ever more challenging but also more interesting, and, with the help of new techniques and data sources, even more amenable.
Calling Cell Phones In '08 Pre-Election Polls
The latest study of Pew Research Center election surveys analyzes the effects of conducting both landline and cell phone interviews. While the addition of cell phones had at most a modest effect on estimates of candidate support in individual surveys, when looked at in the aggregate clear patterns emerge.
What a Year! People-Press Poll Reports in 2008
Findings from Pew Research Center polls over the year told the story of the longest — and one of the most exciting — presidential elections in U.S. history as well as recording the public's reactions to other major events ranging from the pope's visit, to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, to the onset of a mega-economic downturn.

If Alton retains competent department heads we will save tax dollars
To The Daily Sun,
Maintaining the quality of life and fair sharing of cost in our community structure is a very delicate and complicated process. Our Town Planner and Assessing departments in the town of Alton have become very proficient entities in the last six years, through the efforts of our present department heads. The effort to achieve a fair tax sharing structure for all Alton residents and helpful service for all who seek to build or improve their property within the present laws and ordinances of town and state that is valuable to us all. Having and experienced Town Planner on staff enables the average citizen to get the help necessary in developing their planned project legally and with respect for neighbors and the environment we cherish in Alton, without needing to hire expensive consultants and legal counsel. At the same time the Town Planner enables the volunteer Planning Board to be a strong and effective force when dealing with those who might seek to push through projects that would hurt the lifestyle and environmental quality of life that we enjoy here in Alton.
The assessor's office has achieved a high reputation for fair assessing both locally and statewide in creating a fair sharing of the tax burden approved by the voters. In recent years our assessor has received high marks for his professionalism and accuracy from the state inspection office.
If Alton remains competent department heads, we will both save the tax dollars by avoiding legal costs while creating a stable and fair local structure, which we can all be proud of. Let's not turn something that works well for us into a broken, ineffective system that fosters conflict and costs us more money. The best way to limit intrusion of state and Federal interference in our local and personal affairs is to retain quality local government staff. Effective local small government trumps unwanted outside control.

We're trying to protect Alton with workforce housing ordinance
To The Daily Sun,
By proposing the Inclusionary Zoning Ordinance for Workforce Housing the Alton Zoning Amendment Committee and the Planning Board are trying to protect the town. They are proposing regulations for workforce housing that a developer would need to meet if he/she would propose such a project.
Protections and safeguards would be provided in the following ways for the town by adopting the ordinance:
1. The burden of proof that Alton is not providing its fair share of workforce housing in the county is placed on the developer when an application is made for workforce housing. The developer will need to document the need for additional workforce housing units in Alton. This burden of proof for the developer would not be required if there is no ordinance.
2. Any developer making application for a workforce housing project will need to demonstrate that Alton's land use regulations make it impossible to create new units that are affordable to working families. This would not be required in the absence of an ordinance.
3. The ordinance would control where and how workforce housing would occur in Alton. In the absence of such an ordinance, developers would determine where and how workforce housing would occur in town.
4. Workforce housing in the ordinance is limited to the Rural and Residential Rural Zones. Without the ordinance, a developer could propose a workforce housing project anywhere and in any zone in town.
5. The developer proposing a workforce housing project will need to submit information detailing costs and revenues associated with the project to justify any relief requested from Alton's Zoning Ordinance.
6. Under the ordinance, projects are limited to a minimum of 20 percent and a maximum of 50 percent of the units being reserved as workforce housing. Without an ordinance there are no limitations.
7. The developer of workforce housing, under the ordinance, must make a binding commitment that the workforce housing units will remain affordable. Without an ordinance there is no such obligation to make such a commitment.
With the current market, reasonable opportunities for workforce housing may currently exist with the existing housing stock in Alton. However, as the real estate market rebounds and prices escalate, the disparity is likely to increase between household incomes and affordable housing prices. This is likely to lead to a time in the future when the existing housing stock in Alton no longer provides reasonable opportunities for workforce housing.
The Alton Zoning Amendment Committee and the Planning Board are trying to be proactive and plan for the need to address the workforce housing issue when development pressures are slow and they have the time to apply themselves to addressing the issue. If development booms again, they will not have the time to tackle the issue. If the town has not adopted an ordinance establishing regulations for workforce housing in advance, it will be too late once a developer submits an application for workforce housing. The town will be left without he protections and safeguards noted above.

Our Year-Round Library communicates our underlying values
To The Daily Sun,
A library is one of the cornerstones of a healthy community, together with schools and churches. Those in the Gilmanton community that are familiar with the resources and programs that the Year-Round Library provides are more than likely to say that our library is important. It reflects the diversity, character and the needs of our wonderful town, while at the same time building community and supporting local culture in exciting ways.
Most know where the library is located, but unfortunately, some have formed negative attitudes toward the library based on rumor and "he said, she said" conversations. Because of these ongoing misunderstandings, these individuals are unfamiliar with all the services the library offers. The people I've talked to, representing both sides of the Year-Round Library issue, who have visited and may have used the library, say they have had a positive experience and observed that it was "a welcoming, friendly place," a "nice, pleasant space to be." People will often times go to the library looking mainly for information, but they will find each other there.
Although the Year-Round Library collects a percentage of its operating revenue from fund-raising activities, private sources, and grants, these revenue streams can never fully support the many functions the library performs. I would ask the Budget Committee, selectmen, and most importantly the voters of Gilmanton, to please make a commitment to our library and to the many services it provides for all.
Our Year-Round Library communicates to the public our underlying values: That strong community connections, information, education, and shared community space matter.

Saving $34,000 in Gilmanton Fire Department budget is significant
To The Daily Sun,
The Town of Gilmanton operates on a budget that is approved by the voters. When a department budget comes in for less than what was budgeted, the monies go to the undesignated fund balance. In previous years the undesignated fund balance has been used to keep taxes level. Here is the point: saving $34,000 in the Fire Department budget is significant.
When you look at the county budget, the majority of the increases are related to salaries and benefits. The hard facts are that the Affordable Care Act has not decreased expenditures on health insurance. What we are looking to do in Gilmanton is place two part-time firefighters in the shifts and reduce the budget by $34,000 in benefits. This is happening nationally. There is nothing mean about this. It is a opportunity for savings. On Jan. 29 the chief agreed. Look at the minutes of Jan. 29, available on-line or at the Academy.
Warrant Article 30 has been amended to tell you, the taxpayer, how many full-timers you need to pay for. Vote "no" on Article 30.

For New Hampshire, join me in voting for Joe Kenney on Tuesday
To The Daily Sun,
In the important election on March 11, I will be voting for Joe Kenney for executive councilor. You should vote for Joe, too. As he demonstrated when serving as a selectman, representative and state senator, Joe Kenney's priority is what is best for the people of New Hampshire, not what's good for the special interests.
Part of the executive councilor's job is to oversee spending on contracts over $10,000. Joe's habit and commitment is to ensure that the taxpayers get the best value for the money that government takes and spends. Joe's focus is whether a project is really needed and, if so, to ensure it is done most efficiently.
If you think taxpayer money should be used to benefit special interest groups or friends, then Joe is not your guy. Joe thinks it is more important to reject unnecessary projects than to bring them in "under budget."
Part of the executive councilor's job is to help citizens with problems with government. Because of Joe's experience in the New Hampshire Legislature, Joe knows the contacts and the levers to pull to make sure that government is responsive and treats citizens fairly.
Joe is a strong advocate for the New Hampshire Advantage which enhances the quality of our lives and entices people and businesses to bring their wealth, spending, and new jobs to New Hampshire. Joe's life demonstrates a commitment to low taxes, maximum freedoms and opportunities, and commitment to our beautiful state and its people.
Joe opposes wind turbines (which increase electricity prices and only exist because of taxpayer provided subsidies) and the Northern Pass. If you want enormous towers running through our state and windmills on top of our mountains, then you should support Joe's opponent.
Another function of the executive councilors is to appoint and confirm court justices and department commissioners.
It is the Legislature's responsibility to write our laws. Joe will only support judges who understand their responsibility to enforce the laws consistent with the Constitution, not to change laws to conform to the judge's wishes. Joe will fight for commissioners who are committed to providing services as efficiently and effectively as possible.
If you want good government that provides needed services at the lowest possible cost, if you want maximum freedoms and opportunities, if you want to protect the beauty of our state, if you are interested in what is good for New Hampshire citizens as a whole rather than the special interests, then you will join me on March 11 and vote for Joe Kenney for executive councilor.

% domain [-1,1] is used. P and Q are Chebfuns such that P(x)./Q(x) = F(x).
% R_HANDLE is an anonymous function evaluating the rational interpolant
% directly.
% [P,Q,R_HANDLE] = RATINTERP(F,M,N,NN) computes a (M,N) rational linear

% [P,Q,R_HANDLE,MU,NU] = RATINTERP(F,M,N,NN,XI,TOL) computes a robustified
% (M,N) rational interpolant or approximant of F over the NN+1 nodes XI, in
% which components contributing less than the relative tolerance TOL to
% the solution are discarded. If no value of TOL is specified, a tolerance of
% 1e-14 is assumed. MU and NU are the resulting numerator and denominator
% degrees. Note that if the degree is decreased, a rational approximation is
% computed over the NN points. The coefficients are computed relative to the
% orthogonal base derived from the nodes XI.
% [P,Q,R_HANDLE,MU,NU,POLES,RES] = RATINTERP(F,M,N,NN,XI,TOL) returns the
% poles POLES of the rational interpolant on the real axis as well as the
% residues RES at those points. If any of the nodes XI lie in the complex
% plane, the complex poles are returned as well.
% [P,Q,R_HANDLE] = RATINTERP(D,F,M,N) computes the (M,N) rational interpolant

Hamas is reportedly thinning its ranks in Damascus as pan-Arab pressure builds on the Syrian regime.
Diplomats said this week that the Palestinian Islamist group, which has long had its headquarters in the Syrian capital, has been quietly relocating staff to Gaza following the Arab League decision to suspend Syria over its bloody crackdown on anti-regime protestors, according to news reports.
A Hamas spokesperson denied the report, according to the Jerusalem Post.
According to the diplomats, Hamas has been leaving quietly to avoid Syrian state scrutiny as well all that of Iran, an ally of Damascus and a financial backer of Palestinian terrorist groups. Another Islamist militia supported by Syria, Lebanon's Hezbollah, has emphasized that its alliance remains sound.
Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah lauded Syria as a "resistance regime" during a surprise appearance Tuesday before ecstatic crowds of Shi'ite supporters in Beirut. Nasrallah has kept largely out of view since the 2006 war with Israel.
"Every day we are growing in number, our training is getting better, we are becoming more confident and our weapons are increasing," he said.

All fiber comes from plants, and no fiber has nutritional value. That is, the body doesn't absorb fiber. It goes right through the digestive tract. There are two types of fiber -- soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber (sometimes called roughage) passes through the digestive tract without even dissolving. It helps keep the colon working properly. Soluble fiber dissolves into a gooey substance in the intestines that helps prevent fat and cholesterol from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Another great benefit of fiber is that it makes you feel fuller faster, so you'll likely feel less hungry. Good sources of soluble fiber include cereals such as oatmeal and oat bran, such fruits as bananas, apples, peaches, and berries, and many types of beans and lentils.
Flavonoids are compounds with antioxidant properties found in many fruits and vegetables such as cocoa, tea, purple grape juice, and soy. These foods have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and flavonoids are believed to be the source of this benefit.
Stanols and Sterols
Stanols and sterols block absorption of LDL cholesterol from the digestive tract without affecting HDL or triglycerides. They are extracted from soy beans and tall pine-tree oils and added to various foods such as certain margarines and orange juices.
Although nuts have a high fat content, they are low in saturated fat, and have been shown to help lower cholesterol levels. In addition, walnuts contain omega 3 fatty acids and other nutrients not found in other nuts. A diet including walnuts has been shown to improve HDL levels relative to LDL levels in patients with diabetes.
Omega 3 Fatty Acids
A group of unsaturated fats found in fatty fish, walnuts, canola oil, and soy beans are being studied to confirm suspected benefits in the prevention and treatment of coronary diseases.

Another Perspective
The Language of God
Or why I am not a Wall Street billionaire.
"I never did very well in math," said Calvin Trillin. "I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally."
Trillin suffered a complaint familiar to many writers: a sensitivity to mathematics. It's like the sensitivity some people have to dairy products, only we can still enjoy a nice Frappuccino now and then. The pain comes when we have to add up the tip.
One reason I went into journalism was I had to find a profession where math would not be an issue. Sadly, this ruled out everything that would allow me to make a decent living: stockbroker, accountant, office manager, carpenter, life insurance salesman.
In college, I was required to pass two math courses to obtain a bachelor of science degree, and because of that I almost didn't graduate. I spent every afternoon of my junior and senior years in a math tutor's office. I could follow along for approximately two minutes, then my brain would lock up and all I could hear was a drone that sounded like a muffled recording of a 1950s Ways and Means Committee hearing. At the last moment, I switched from a bachelor of science to a bachelor of arts degree, which required only one math class. Finally, in my last semester, I passed college algebra. I got a D-.
Now that I am a journalist, my editor seems determined to give me all of the stories that involve math: budget stories, tax assessment stories, follow-the-money stories. I keep telling him that if I had been any good with numbers I sure as hell wouldn't have gone into the lowest-paying profession on the planet. I would have gone to work on Wall Street. I'd be racking up millions at Goldman Sachs committing securities fraud.
"You're a professional," my editor says dismissively. "And let's make that budget story a series."
I hate my editor.
A lot of people think mathematics, particularly the higher math, a waste of time. After all, how often does one use lambda calculus in every day life? I mean, unless you are one of those pajama guys who spend all day trying to hack into the Pentagon's computers. I suppose you could say the same thing about a lot of stuff you studied in school. How often do you use facts about medieval history in everyday life, and if you say "quite often" that's probably the reason you spend every night alone on the couch watching Battlestar Galactica reruns.
I don't think that way at all. I wish I knew more math. I am constantly struggling with numerical problems. If all of my woodworking projects look like they were designed for the set of a 1920s German Expressionist film it is because I never quite mastered the whole fraction thing. I know what a half of something is, maybe even a quarter, but smaller than that and I end throwing up my hands and exclaiming, "Good enough for government work."
If I am a good tipper and always leave 20 percent -- even when the waiter slaps my date on the butt -- it is because I can usually figure out 20 percent of the bill (take the first number and double it, right?), whereas trying to figure 15 percent (or God help me 17.5) would leave me as confused as a hungry baby in a topless bar.
I WON'T EVEN try to do my income taxes anymore. Tax time used to put me in an angry, foul mood for weeks. All those state and federal forms were like some kind of SAT test that was all math and no essay portion where I could tell the government where to stick it. The least the IRS could do is make the form multiple choice. At least then I'd have a small chance of getting some of the answers right.
I suspect that my mathematical weakness, like my poor eyesight, is genetic. My parents were average math students at best, and my siblings seem nearly as inept at math as I am. They, too, have all gone on to professions where the ability to add sums is not a requirement: social work, English teaching, lawyering.
Fortunately, my son has inherited none of my arithmetical inaptitude. His mother is a mathematical wizard, which must have been why I married her. My hope is that whatever gene is responsible for my mathematical ineptness dies with me.
Galileo famously said that mathematics was the language God used to write the universe. Great, with my luck, I'll have to pass some kind of geometry test to get into heaven.

Ashton Kutcher: Steve Jobs was the 'Leonardo da Vinci of our generation'
(Photo by Barry Brecheisen/Invision/AP)
Ashton Kutcher sat down with Jay Leno on "The Tonight Show" to discuss what inspired him to take on the role of Steve Jobs in the upcoming biopic, "Jobs."
Kutcher had an opportunity to meet Jobs but he had to work.
"I look back and think, I had an opportunity to meet the Leonardo da Vinci of our generation," Kutcher told Leno. "That really affected my decision to take on the role."
The actor then explained where he was the moment he first heard the news of Jobs' passing.
"I pulled my car to the side of the road and kind of took a moment," Kutcher recalled. "I got home and I realized that all the relationships that I have in my life are held together by glue that he laid down."
The Apple co-founder and longtime CEO died in October 2011 after a long battle with cancer.
"Jobs" will be released in theaters on Aug. 16.

Andy Murray shrugged off any risk of distraction from a rain delay and recorded a straight-sets victory over Michael Llodra on Wednesday to begin his U.S. Open title defense in authoritative style. Murray's match did not begin until almost 10 p.m. local time after a lengthy rain delay, and the Scot put on a near flawless performance to notch a 6-2, 6-4, 6-3 victory. Murray, who is seeded third, made only five unforced errors, while compiling 34 winners in the 1-hour, 38-minute match.

CES 2008: DLP shows off working Pico projector prototype
Building on announcements made at IFA in 2007, Texas Instruments DLP has unveiled a full working prototype of its Pico projector, ensconced in a mock mobile phone similar in size to the iPhone at CES in Las Vegas.
Developed in conjunction with Sypro and Young Optics, DLP's Pico works as a standalone product as well as being integrated into a small portable device such as a digital camera or mobile phone and will go up against the newly announced 3M mini projector also announced at CES.
Expanding on portable product versatility, the Pico means video and graphic sharing will be much more accessible and exciting – previewing photos at a decent size and watching videos downloaded to your phone without having to squint at the miniscule screen.
"We see increased opportunity and an abundance of applications that can be created with these devices. With help from DLP, Young Optics is able to deliver a mobile product design to enable the global market in 2008", said Claude Hsu, president of Young Optics.

Earlier I promised to elaborate on why slow unit tests are a sign of problems (or a smell if you like). So here it goes.
The first thing I would like to look at is when the complete test suite takes too long to run to be part of a tight TDD-loop. If it is just the number of tests that makes the difference and each single test is super fast you will have a very large number of tests. Probably several thousands of tests. This can only mean two things. The least bad thing is that you have a very large application that really need all these tests. But you could probably split things up into different modules and test each module by it self thus reducing the number of tests that need to be run when you're working on a single module. Any dependencies between the modules can be faked in your day to day work. A much worse problem is that you're over-testing your code. That means testing the same thing in several similar (but not identical) ways. While over-testing it self should not be a problem it impacts TDD bad in two ways. First of all writing more tests takes more time so you get the feel that TDD is much slower than "developing the old way". It also makes the feedback slower since tests takes longer to run and that means to loose focus.
The second reason for slow tests is when a single test actually takes to long to execute just by itself. This is a sign of trouble since it probably means you're having badly written tests or even worse; badly designed production code. The reason for the test to be slow is typically because it takes some time to set up the circumstances for the test. The reason for this is typically a bad design since it is difficult or impossible to fake/stub/mock dependencies away in your test code. If you're having trouble faking dependencies you probably have a too tightly coupled design which most people I know tend to think is a bad design.
So whenever you feel the complete test suite takes too long to run, don't start looking at what is wrong with the tests - start looking at what is wrong with your production code...
There are some good exceptions, like tests targeting slow resources such as databases.
For example, I work on a free linq to sql alternative, designed to support several databases (the software is named DbLinq), and each test needs to connect to database to check the SQL code generation by comparing the results. So we have two bottlenecks: SQL generation from LINQ expression (which sometimes takes up to 1s) and then connection to database, SQL request and result mapping.
We have more than a thousand tests, running accross 7 differents databases, and it take something like 10 mn to complete.
So yes, a slow unit test is a pain, but no, it's not always reflecting a bad organization :)
Well I must apologize for making the same mistake as many others, but the other way around. Many people mistake TDD for unit testing. In this case I wrote "unit tests" when I really should have written "your TDD tests". And in TDD a quick feed back loop is important to keep the momentum. I hope you can agree with me on that.
The fact that having a lot of tests for a single module (in the case where the number of tests is the only problem) is generally a bad smell. Either your module is too big or you are testing too much. By too much I mean "you have more tests than you benefit of".
Having slow tests is almost always a bad smell since it most often mean you're testing too much and not mocking/stubing stuff away. In your example I see the possibility for four different tests. One for SQl generation, one for DB connetc, one for SQL requests and one for result mapping. They do not need to be in the same test and everything around can be faked in some way and thus speeding up the single test. If you want to test the whole chain it sounds like some kind of integration test actually. And integration tests that are slow are typically run in another context than the TDD-loop tests.
Having a 1s SQL generation time is however something that is hard to "fix" in the test. Personally I would look at it from a performance veiw because it sounds very slow to me.
But each case here is different and there is always exceptions to the rule in some sense. Sometimes you will have several thousands of tests for a single module and no way to break it up. Sometimes you really want to test something that takes several seconds to test just because you have to. But that doesn't mean that slow tests arn't a smell. They're still a bad smell and you should try to get rid of them and not just accept them as is. And in some occations you just have to live with the smell but don't accept it without questioning it!

Originally written on Fox Sports Carolinas | Last updated 12/27/11
Immediately following the draft-night trade for Corey Maggette, Bobcats coach Paul Silas called Maggette to deliver two messages: Maggette would be this team's starting small forward and go-to scorer. And Silas needed Maggette to immediately become this team's leader and a mentor to young teammates. Entering his 13th NBA season and joining his fifth NBA franchise, Maggette didn't feel put-upon. Instead he was flattered that Silas, a coach he never before played for, had so much faith in him. Maggette entered last season following ankle surgery and never really caught on with the Milwaukee Bucks. So the trade to Charlotte has reignited his career. Maggette instantly took to mentoring. He buys dinner for the young players as a means to build team chemistry. He frequently calls rookie Kemba Walker to be a resource and a sounding board. He recently stayed an hour after practice to teach backup Derrick Brown a spin move to free up Brown's mid-range jump shot. "I'm on my way out of thi...

Open Government Initiative Blog
Investing in Open Government to Create A More Efficient and Effective GovernmentPosted byon March 16, 2011 at 1:26 PM EDT
Ed. Note: This post is part of our Sunshine Week series, a national initiative to celebrate and focus on government transparency and open government.
Federal agencies collect enormous amounts of data about such diverse matters as automobile safety, air travel, air quality, workplace safety, drug safety, nutrition, crime, obesity, the employment market, and health care. The Obama Administration has made it a priority to share this and other government information – what the President has called a "national asset" – to improve citizen education and decision-making, and to spur innovation and job creation.
Federal agencies are working hard to foster open government, and we encourage you to examine what they have done. For example:
- The Department of Homeland Security created "Virtual USA," enabling public safety officials across all levels of government to share information in real time, and improve response to national disasters.
- The Department of Energy, as part of its efforts to promote clean energy, launched OpenEI.org, containing dozens of clean energy resources and data sets, including maps of worldwide solar and wind potential, information on climate zones, and energy best practices. The Department intends to expand these resources to include on-line training and technical expert networks.
- The Environmental Protection Agency, together with other federal, state, local, and tribal agencies, developed AIRNow.gov, offering the public daily Air Quality Index forecasts and real-time Air Quality Index conditions for over 300 cities across the country as well as links to detailed state and local air quality cites.
- And six federal agencies—the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Food and Drug Administration, the Department of Agriculture, and the EPA—created Recalls.gov, to alert the public to unsafe, hazardous, or defective products and up-to-date consumer safety information.
Throughout the week, WhiteHouse.gov will continue highlighting the Administration's commitment to open government, including the accomplishments of three other departments – Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and Transportation. We hope you will take a moment to read these blog posts. What unites these federal agencies is that they all consider open government to be a long-term investment in building a stronger democracy and creating a more efficient and effective government.Chris Lu is Assistant to the President and Cabinet SecretaryLearn more about , Additional Issues
Sunshine Week 2011 and Our Ongoing Commitment to Open GovernmentPosted byon March 16, 2011 at 11:18 AM EDT
This week is "Sunshine Week." Led by the American Society of News Editors and originally funded by the Knight Foundation, Sunshine Week is observed by media organizations around the country. It coincides with National Freedom of Information Day—March 16—selected to fall on James Madison's birthday. Journalists, good-government groups, transparency advocates, educators, and many others interested in government transparency host events throughout the week to promote open government and freedom of information. They do so to assess the extent to which government is truly open, and to encourage citizens to seek information from their government and participate in public affairs.
Sunshine Week provides an ideal time to recount the Administration's many open government successes since last March. And so each day this week, we will identify various ways in which agencies have made our government more open and, in turn, more democratic and more efficient. On Monday, the Department of Justice launched FOIA.gov, and we reviewed some of the substantial progress agencies across the government have made to disclose more and withhold less. We will recount, among other things, how greater transparency has saved government resources, and how technology and openness have been fused in ways that improve the everyday lives of our citizens. We will also feature the enormous work many agencies have done over the past year to make government more open and foster public participation. As the examples are too numerous to catalogue here, I encourage you to visit agencies' own Open Government websites, which feature their recent successes.
Open government is a commitment, though, not a task. Thus the Administration's efforts to promote open government are, as they should be, still ongoing. Nor is greater transparency desirable in every case and circumstance. Our government also owes its citizens, among other things, protection of their personal privacy and business confidentiality, effective law enforcement, and a strong national defense. That understood, the Administration's commitment to open government, and the great progress it has made so far, are unmistakable.Steve Croley is Special Assistant to the President for Justice and Regulatory PolicyLearn more about , Additional Issues
SMArt Prize for Patients, Physicians, and ResearchersPosted byon March 10, 2011 at 4:02 PM EDT
This week a research team at Children's Hospital of Boston and Harvard Medical School launched a prize to encourage innovative app developers to build new products and services that benefit patients and providers. The prize was created with funding from the Office of the National Coordinator for Health IT within the Department of Health and Human Services, and constitutes just the latest in a growing number of examples of the Federal government fostering R&D collaboration through open innovation.
The SMArt Prize competition could speed innovation in any number of areas. Developers might build a medication manager, a health risk detector, a laboratory visualization tool, or an app that integrates, in real time, patient data with external data sources—such as publication data in PubMed, CDC statistics, environmental data, financial data available at http://www.data.gov/health. In doing so, SMArt promises to help patients, doctors, and others realize the full potential of information technology to help transform how we manage health and healthcare.
The best app developed for the SMArt API by May 31 will win a $5,000 prize, as determined by an all-star panel of judges including:
- Susannah Fox (Director of Health Research, Pew Internet & American Life Project)
- Regina Herzlinger (Nancy R. McPherson Professor of Business Administration, Harvard Business School)
- David C. Kibbe (Chair, ASTM International E31 Technical Committee on Healthcare Informatics; Principal, The Kibbe Group LLC; Senior Advisor, American Academy of Family Physicians)
- Ben Shneiderman (Professor of Computer Science at the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, University of Maryland, College Park)
- Doug Solomon (Chief Technology Officer, IDEO)
- Edward Tufte (Professor Emeritus of Political Science, Statistics, and Computer Science, Yale University)
- Jim Walker (Chief Health Information Officer, Geisinger Health Systems)
This endeavor is an example of why I share Bryan Roberts' view that the stage is now set for dramatic jumps in healthcare innovation. The evolving ecosystem of health IT will be further expanded by modular architectures, open APIs and the applications that can engage them. This development will dramatically expand the market for health IT by offering applications that can meet any niche and any need - from individual consumers to small practices to large organizations—thereby making the transformative power of health IT felt more fully and broadly.
We look forward to celebrating all those who compete!

Social Security 101: It's There For You!Posted byon March 7, 2011 at 3:44 PM EDT
More than seventy-five years ago, Social Security began with a promise to protect all Americans from a life of poverty in old age. Since then, the program's protections have grown to cover other life events, like disability, the loss of a loved one, or severe financial hardship. Many Americans may think Social Security is only about retirement, but it actually can benefit people well before they retire.
Now the Social Security Administration is teaming up with President Obama's Open Government initiative to help educate Americans about these important benefits. Open Government—built on the principles of transparency and public participation—has been a hallmark of this Administration and continues to engage Americans in a dialogue about their government and what it does on their behalf. To this end, the Social Security Administration will host a webinar, Social Security 101: What's In It For Me? on March 10th at 3pm EST/Noon PST. Viewers will gain a better understanding of how Social Security provides support through both unexpected and predictable life events. Participants will connect through an interactive, online medium and get answers to questions like, "What's that FICA tax that comes out of my paycheck?" and "Why do I need to start planningnow for my financial future?"
The webinar will be geared especially towards college students and young workers—many of whom may not realize what Social Security has to offer—but it will also be an opportunity for people of all ages to learn more about one of this country's most important programs.
Watch, learn something new, and join the conversation. RSVP and view the webinar here.

Air Force Launches Open Innovation PavilionPosted byon March 4, 2011 at 5:01 PM EDT
In partnership with the Wright Brothers Institute, the U.S. Air Force Research Lab this week launched a new Open Innovation Pavilion on InnoCentive, an online innovation marketplace where more than a quarter million of the world's brightest minds solve tough problems for cash awards.
The newly launched Pavilion already features more than $100,000 in prizes for novel solutions to four tough challenges facing the U.S. Air Force:
- The Design and Simulation of an Accurate Shooter-Locator competition challenges innovators to develop a method to detect small arms fire within a fraction of a second and accurately pinpoint its source;
- The Humanitarian Air Drop challenge seeks novel ways to drop humanitarian supplies into populated areas without danger of falling debris to the people below;
- The Vehicle Stopper challenge seeks a viable, sustainable, and affordable means of stopping an uncooperative fleeing vehicle without permanent damage to the vehicle or harm to any of its passengers; and
- The Remote Human Demographic Characterization challenge seeks a system that can determine the approximate age and gender of small groups of people at a distance.
The Air Force Open Innovation Pavilion is just the latest milestone in the Obama Administration's efforts to increase the use of prizes and challenges to spur innovation and solve tough problems. In March 2010, the Office of Management and Budget issued a formal policy framework to guide agency leadership in using prizes to advance their core mission. In September 2010, the Administration launched Challenge.gov, a one-stop shop where entrepreneurs and citizen solvers can find public-sector prizes. And in January, the President signed the America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010, providing all agencies with broad authority to conduct prize competitions. As a result, in the first six months alone, Challenge.gov has featured more than 70 challenges from more than 25 agencies across the Executive Branch.
For example, in 2010 NASA piloted a series of science and technical challenges core to its mission in the NASA Innovation Pavilion. One of the challenges sought a forecasting algorithm to protect America's astronauts from radiation exposure in space. Over 500 problem solvers from 53 countries answered NASA's call. Expecting no solutions for this long intractable problem, NASA received a solution that exceeded their requirements from a retired radio-frequency engineer in rural New Hampshire. The winner had never before responded to a government request for proposals, let alone worked with NASA. Yet his winning approach forecast solar proton events with 85 percent accuracy, a result NASA dubbed "outstanding."
Who will be the next unexpected solver? To share your expertise and compete for cash prizes visit www.Challenge.gov.

ExpertNet: Two More Weeks to Weigh InPosted byon January 6, 2011 at 3:53 PM EDT
On December 8, the White House Open Government Initiative and General Services Administration with the support of OMB requested your input in helping us design a next generation public engagement platform where public officials pose questions to citizens and obtain useful and informed contributions for consideration and action.
Because the online consultation has been so informative, we are extending the comment period by two weeks until January 23, 2011 and encourage you to participate and to invite others. Keep in mind you can follow additions and changes to the consultation by going to expertnet.wikispaces.com and clicking on Notify Me.
In the next two weeks, we hope that you will continue to inform our thinking by helping us clarify proposed processes, provide additional information on similar platforms, or propose new ways of accomplishing the goal for each step. Together we will work towards creating a next generation citizen engagement platform that enables participatory government in an efficient and cost-effective manner.
Even during the busy holiday season, the feedback that we've seen has been plentiful and helpful. We hope that an extra two weeks will give everyone who wants the opportunity to give feedback the opportunity to do so.
Since we launched the wiki four weeks ago, hundreds of users from over 70 countries have visited the site, engaging in an interesting dialogue on how to improve ExpertNet. So far, over 500 messages have been posted to the discussion forums. In addition, people have begun to edit our draft description of ExpertNet directly. For example, wiki edits have included "drkarger" adding a reference section at the end of each editable page for the community to contribute resource examples that relate to that process step. Here's an example of references contributed for the final step in the process. "TimHuegerich" added links to clarify and provide examples of lesser known topics on the Background and Principles wiki page, among other edits, and "kfogel" updated the government feedback section suggesting that a final step be added to close the loop.
There's even a wiki page where you can suggest an alternative name to ExpertNet. More than a dozen names have been contributed, including AmericaKnows.gov, SynergyNet, OpenGovWiki, CitizensNet, WiththePeople, and UnitedNet. One commenter even suggested using an online poll to decide which name the public likes the best. In the spirit of true collaboration, one commenter even set up a forum to allow the public to discuss their favorite name.
We hope to foster innovation by asking for feedback on the ExpertNet design concept in a new way and hope you will continue to share your best thinking about the future of citizen engagement through January 23, 2011. If you prefer not to access the wiki, you can email your comments to us at email@example.com.
