Some companies really want you to see their products as finished objects. Things by Apple or Karim Rashid (for example) are designed to be self-sufficient, in a way: they don't seem to want relationships with anything but the consumer or the rest of the items in the line they came from. They particularly resist any economic context. You probably know how much an iPod costs, but the device itself gives you no clues to its value, its history, or the processes used to make it; a Rashid table will be shiny and smooth, and look like it just landed in your home from outer space. Then there are companies who want to contextualize everything they make, remind the consumer of the labor involved in production and the effort it took to ready the materials for use. (If you've noticed the repetition of the word "context," you're on the right track. ) That's the kind of company Bryce and Kerry Moore have developed. They call it Context Furniture. (Ta-da!) Bryce and Kerry met at the University of Montana, where, according to their Web site, "both were exploring communication through alternative methods," which included sculpture (for Bryce) and graphic design (for Kerry). Combining these with talent and inspiration from the study of semiotics, they already had all the ingredients of a thoughtful, interesting furniture-design studio. Context's furniture has a historical quality to it--all the exposed edges of Baltic birch plywood (which make up even the surfaces of the pieces) resemble striations in rock, or levels of debris in an archaeological dig. The shapes reflect an understanding of and engagement with design history. And it all looks so cool!

Jared Ward, 6th grader from Albert R. Lyman Middle School in San Juan District, was declared top speller after a competitive eleven rounds in the annual Region Spelling Bee. Jared wasn't a bit stumped by words such as jovial, curriculum, ductile, albatross or even hydrology and herbivore. The final word that brought him out on top was "parfait." By the end of Round 3 the pool of 15 spellers was narrowed to five.
Paul Bryner, a 6th grader from Creekview Elementary, took second place. Laicee Kenner from Emery District was declared third place winner.
Sponsored by the Southeast Education Service Center, this year's Region Bee was held at Grand County High in Moab. The Region Bee is a preliminary competition in the Scripps National Spelling Bee held during Bee Week 2011, May 29-June 4 in Washington D.C.
As first place speller, Jared received a trip for two to Maryland and Washington D.C. to compete in the National Bee. He also was awarded a $100 U. S. Savings Bond and Webster's Third New International Dictionary. 1st, 2nd and 3rd place spellers received a year's subscription to Encylopaedia Brittannica Online.
In addition, Paul Bryner and Laicee Kenner received a $20 Amazon Gift Certificate.
Top three spellers grades 4 through 8 from Carbon, Emery, Grand and San Juan School Districts as well as Pinnacle Academy advanced to the Region Bee from bees held earlier this year.
Carbon spellers included Paul Bryner and Caleb Starzel-Linville (6th, Creekview Elementary), and Jade Shepherd (4th,Wellington Elementary).
Pinnacle Academy participants were Jared Brandt (5th), Michael Urbanik (7th), and Isaac Finley (6th).
The Scripps Bee is the nation's largest and longest-running educational promotion, administered on a not-for-profit basis by The E.W. Scripps Company and sponsors in the United States, American Samoa, Canada, China, Europe, Ghana, Guam, Jamaica, New Zealand, Puerto Rico, South Korea, and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
The Bee's purpose is to help students improve their spelling, increase their vocabularies, learn concepts, and develop correct English usage that will help them all their lives.
The Louisville Courier-Journal started the event with nine contestants in 1925. In 1941 Scripps assumed sponsorship of the program. There was no Scripps National Spelling Bee during the World War II years of 1943, 1944, and 1945. Co-champions were declared in 1950, 1957, and 1962. Of the 85 champions, 44 have been girls and 41 have been boys.

Women & Gender
Ensuring equity between women and men is the key to unleashing the full potential of communities to transform their lives. Mercy Corps addresses the unmet needs of women and girls in places where they have been marginalized and disempowered, while recognizing that it is vital to involve men and boys in the process of helping women and girls claim their equal place.
Throughout our programs, we consider the needs of both genders and build on the courage and resourcefulness of women to help them improve their families and communities.

Comments about Evans MX1 White Marching Bass Drum Head:
These heads are really good. We keep our bass drums sitting in a room and 50% of the time and these haven't gone out of tune yet. The only problem (if it even is a problem) is that you can't really hear the attack when using these you can only hear the tones
Comments about Evans MX1 White Marching Bass Drum Head:
This by far the best of the marching bass drumhead available today. The sound is very versatile and customizable. I like these over any of the Remo Pinstripes or Smooth Whites I've used in past experience, which tend to be a bit to tinny for my taste. The EVANS heads are a real time saver with the muffling system, no more weather strips or foam. Plus the number of tonal options the muffling system provides is unmatched. If you are searching for a very warm, musical sounding head for marching basses look no further than here. They may cost more than others, but I always follow the old saying you get what you pay for. And these heads are extremely durable and resiliant which some of the Remo's aren't especially the Ebony Series. Really I can't say much else than to buy these and don't mess with anything else if you are in the market. Did I mention that they sound good both indoors and outdoors.

NPS photo by Kirsten Kearse
Visits to national parks inspire people to plan another trip, to tell their friends, and often, to ask how they can help. We love that! You can:
- volunteer
- join a park Friends Group
- be an Artist-in-Residence
- make your opinion count
- make a donation
- come work with us
- partner with the NPS
- do your part
- revitalize your community
When you get involved, you help ensure that national parks and programs are relevant. Your ideas add strength to the work we do everyday to preserve special places and stories. Civic engagement is key to the National Park Service mission.
We especially love when kids ask how they can get involved. Younger kids can sign up in the park to be a Junior Ranger or go online and explore our Web Rangers program. Older kids can participate in programs we have with the Boy Scouts and Girl Scouts. High school and college students can give working for the National Park Service a try through our jobs for students.

In order to sweeten the pot of federalization, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is giving gifts of expensive gadgets to local police forces.
Cops in North Jersey, for example, were showered with gifts from their would-be overseers. As reported by The Record:
Oradell, Emerson, Closter and Harrington Park police have car-mounted night-vision technology and video and recording equipment that can watch over the Oradell Reservoir and dam — and the hikers and anglers entering it. West Milford can do the same around the Newark watershed. Wayne police are scanning ... the license plates of vehicles outside the Willowbrook Mall, while East Rutherford officers patrol hotel parking lots near the Meadowlands and the Federal Reserve building off Route 17.
How is all this new technology being used? Who is being watched? Why are they being targeted for surveillance? Neither law enforcement nor federal agents are talking.
When contacted by The New American, the DHS representative in New Jersey refused to answer these questions, saying that revealing what information is being collected, how long it will be stored, or who will have access to it would threaten national security. Of course.
The web of surveillance being woven by the Department of Homeland Security among local law enforcement agencies is part of the secretive effort known as the Buffer Zone Protection Program. According to DHS:
The Buffer Zone Protection Program (BZPP) is a Department-administered infrastructure protection grant program to help local law enforcement and first responders identify and mitigate vulnerabilities at the highest-risk critical infrastructure sites. A buffer zone is the area outside a facility that an adversary can use to conduct surveillance or launch an attack. The term is associated with identified critical infrastructure and key resources (CIKR).
BZPP provides funding to local law enforcement for equipment acquisition and planning activities to address gaps and enhance security capabilities. The program brings together private sector security personnel and first responders in a collaborative security planning process that enhances the buffer zone.
Local police who participate in the program will have access to a shockingly broad array of personal information of citizens. Facial recognition technology, license plate readers, and stop light camera video feeds will all be funneled to a Regional Operations Intelligence Center where FBI, police, and DHS agents can watch the live feeds. These hubs are part of a larger operations complex known as a Fusion Center.

Why does Java's Collection.size() return an int? This limits the size of collections to just over 2 billion entries. With the rapidly increasing amounts of memory available to us, this seems a little short-sighted - no?
migrated from stackoverflow.com Sep 16 '11 at 4:18
This question came from our site for professional and enthusiast programmers.
The vast majority of applications uses collection sizes much less than that. A generic class should be designed to cover the most common cases, not the most extreme ones. A specialized collection class for very large collections will probably be added at some point.
The javadoc for the
Therefore there isn't any inherent limit on the size of a
IMO people can reasonably disagree about whether
The point is when you have collections of billions of elements, the precise size is most likely unimportant. A sense of the size will most likely get you there.
As a sidenote, precise counts often get expensive, and is why
The real answer is to maintain backwards compatibility with older versions of Java.
Now 64bit JVMs are commonplace, and huge collections are at least feasible. But if they changed
Now you could argue with some justifications that collections that big have implementation and performance issues. Those issues could be worked by implementing special collection classes. If you do this, then you can also give the class (say) a
Worrying about index numbers is old fashioned. The future looks more like the below:
Now that I think about it. They have already implemented a suitable collection - Map.
And who knows? Maybe when 2 billion is too small, they would have updated Java so an int holds more, or make a new primitive type.
there is a problem to store all array values into RAM so such big lists will cause usage of swap file and make system too slow, i think it is a bad idea. You'd better use more suitable structures to store such amount of data
Obviously, Java Collection is mostly made for collections that contain 2 billion entries at most. If you have more entries to manage, chances are that you need something else than, say, an ArrayList. Nothing keeps you from implementing and using such a collection. The only issue is that the standard collection interface is not the best possible match for that beast.
I think they did the right thing. Like everything else to do with computers Algorithms don't necessarily scale.
An hash/storage algorithm which handles a 10,000 items nicely is probably going to die long before it hits 500,000,000 items.
And its not just about Moores law. Core counts are doubling about every five years and while a single threaded "copy" is OK on a set of a few thousand for a set of millions you would want to activate all the available cores.
I think the original "collections" are still fit for purpose as most collections in the real world will hold less than a 1000 entries, and there are relatively few > 10,000.
Someday just like BigDecimal and BigNumber we will have BigHash and HugeArray.

Mets release Luis Castillo
After Luis Castillo was released, Sandy Alderson spoke with reporters, and you can hear that conversation by clicking play below:
During the interview, Alderson essentially said:
- A variety of things went into the decision to release Castillo, but he wanted to see how he looked this spring.
- He felt Castillo made a strong effort, and couldn't have done anything differently, but in the end, feels this decision was in the best interest of the organization, and the player.
- They realized the competition needed to be scaled down at this point, and get more at bats for other players.
- They realize nobody has stood out, but have an idea as to where the second base competition is headed.
- While monetary considerations are always in play, he doesn't believe they would hold the team back from doing what's best for the long term.
- He said Castillo was not surprised by the decision.
- The fans perception of Castillo was taken into account in this decision, but was not a controlling factor.
- He did not comment on Oliver Perez's status.
Updated by Matthew Cerrone at 11:26 am:
To me, the real news here is that – finally – as expected with this new front office – the Mets now understand sunk and opportunity cost, and they are making decisions based on what is best for the team, and who will be the best 25 players to start the season. End of story. It's not about legacy. It's not about justifying salaries. It's about what's best for the team going forward.
What's more, I'm just glad to see this story end. I don't blame Luis, so much as I blame the Mets, for how much negativity has surrounded this guy the last year or so. He simply signed a contract. Good for him. It was the Mets who gave it to him. He can't help but get older, and slower. That's how life works. It was the Mets who signed him, paid him, overpaid him, held on to him, and kept running him out there. And, thankfully, now this is over, we can all turn the page and move on, and take solace in knowing this new crew is making decisions in the best interest of winning.
To read Alderson's comments about today's news, during his talk with reporters, check out Adam Rubin's blog for ESPN New York.
Original Post by Michael Baron at 10:51 am:
The Mets officially announced that Luis Castillo has been released.
"This was baseball decision,"Sandy Alderson said in a statement.
"I met with Terry (Collins) and made a recommendation to Jeff (Wilpon) and Jeff approved on behalf of ownership."

POTSDAM The night began with the sound of harps as students from SUNY Potsdams Crane School of Music showed off their talent at the annual Chamber Music Competition.
Six groups performed Sunday night with a total of 26 students vying for a spot in next weekends chamber concert.
They played to a hall nearly empty save for a few faculty members, three of whom were judging their performance.
Harpists Mikaela R. Davis and Katherine S. Berquist started the show, playing an Indian-inspired piece meant to invoke feelings of meditation.
It shows a different side of the harp, Ms. Berquist said.
They took home third place at the end of the night.
The ensembles were judged on sound, style and ability to work as a group.
Crane places a high value on quality performance, said professor Carol Lowe, who organized the competition.
Each group performed for 15 minutes, with music selections ranging from the 18th century to the modern day.
The harpists were followed by a quartet of saxophonists.
Were going to do what we do, and well see what happens, said competitor Daniel Meadows.
The quartet won second place.
After the saxophonists, the event featured trumpets, trombones, horns and tubas, with four brass quintets wrapping up the performance.
Student ensembles of all sizes and ages are allowed to join the competition. Ms. Lowe said students will sometimes join an ensemble just to get a chance to compete.
Something about our culture people want to enter competitions and win them, she said.
A pair of sophomores triumphed two years ago, Ms. Lowe remembered, surprising their older opponents.
The annual competition is one of the yearly highlights for Cranes students.
Theres only two competitions like this, Ms. Davis said.
The Frackenpohl Honors Brass Quartet won over the judges, taking home first place.
The top three groups will play at 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Hosmer Hall.

Amani Edwards: Senior, 2012
Sport (s): Volleyball, Track & Field
Atlanta, Georgia- Atlanta Girls' School
Major: Modern Languages (Chinese and Russian)
Minor: Political Science
How did you find out about Beloit? Did you know a lot about Beloit when you first visited campus?
"I found out about Beloit through my Latin teacher who visited when she was looking at colleges. Even though she did not attend Beloit, it was her first choice. She wanted me to come here because it had my interests as well as great opportunities for continuing my education. I knew nothing about Beloit before I applied; my mom actually looked up the college."
We are focusing a lot on Liberal Arts in Practice at Beloit; so as part of what you practice(d) name one aspect that you took away(will take) from being a Beloit student-athlete that you use in your everyday life.
"Discipline: Being a student-athlete requires a lot of discipline in time management, training, staying alert, and staying on top of your studies and athletics requires a lot of discipline to balance and achieve."
What (if any) accolades did you receive (Academically/Athletically) while being a student-athlete?
"I have been on the Academic All-Conference teams for Volleyball and Track since my sophomore year, I have made the Dean's List, I have received international grants (Gilman and Beloit College grants), and I am a McNair scholar."
If you could name one class or professor (mentor) that really meant something to you while at Beloit, who or what would that be?
"Professor Majeed and Rachel Ellett, Even though I've only taken two classes with Prof. Majeed throughout my time here, she has been a great supporter of my efforts and is always willing to talk. Rachel Ellett has also kept me in the loop for opportunities that arise and has also helped me through applications and research projects. Despite mentioning these two professors, everyone on campus has had a great influence on my experience here and has also helped me through the four years here."
Name one of the most rewarding experiences you took part in while at Beloit College?
"Being in athletics and being a McNair scholar have been two of the most rewarding experiences. The opportunities that have been introduced to me through participating in these programs are not only going to help in the short term, but in the long term as well."
Where do you see yourself 5 years from now? - Name a career goal/aspiration you strive for.
"In five years I plan to either be abroad, or in a grad program receiving my Masters of PH.D in social work or public policy."
"In ONE word I would sum up Beloit College as- Awesome."

POTSDAM - One Clarkson University team was awarded first prize in their category and another won the Peoples Choice Award in the fourth annual New York State Business Plan Competition held at the College of Nanoscale Science and Engineering of the University at Albany on Friday.
Competing against more than 430 business teams from 60 colleges and universities across New York state, Innovative Delivery Systems (IDS) took first place in the products/services category and won $10,000 cash and professional services valued at $5,000.
IDS created OrdrIT, a Web application, which allows spectators to access a stadiums concession menus and order food from their seats without missing the action. The company, which began in a first-year business class in fall 2011, has earned nearly than $70,000 in awards and collegiate business competition winnings since then.
The company is made up of sophomores Dietrich Diehl of Clarence Center, and Christopher Behrens of Rhinebeck, both Global Supply Chain management majors; Andrew J. Wegner of Farmington, a financial information & analysis major; and Sean Cheung of Norwich, an Arete major, studying both innovation & entrepreneurship, and psychology; and junior Stephen Akiki of Colchester, Vt., an aeronautical engineering and mechanical engineering double major.
The firm has hired a sales representative to help get OrdrIT into stadiums, arenas and performing arts theaters. The key for us right now is to expand quickly, said Diehl. Its a lot to take on as a full-time student, but this is the reason why I chose to come to Clarkson. I wanted to start my own business.
The team plans to use their award for product distribution, in-house marketing at venues and product development. Well use the in-kind services to raise a Series A round capital investment, said Diehl.
See a video about IDS and OrdrIT at http://youtu.be/eJpdS5nrEAw .
Renoun Ski Company won the Peoples Choice award along with a $1,000 prize. Renoun is designing a ski to adapt instantly to snow conditions using a patent-pending technology and principals of aircraft design.

Tony Jefferson and Kenny Stills heading to the NFL leaves a void.
No way around that.
Oklahoma can't lose its leading tackler and leading receiver without feeling some adverse effects. We learned for certain with a statement from Sooner coach Bob Stoops on Monday that Jefferson and Stills are skipping their senior seasons, so the Sooners will be looking for even more playmakers at a time when it already seems short on them.

Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
In this powerful memoir, philosopher Karyn L. Freedman travels back to a Paris night in 1990 when she was twenty-two and, in one violent hour, her life was changed forever by a brutal rape. One Hour in Paris takes the reader on a harrowing yet inspirational journey through suffering and recovery both personal and global. We follow Freedman from an apartment in Paris to a French courtroom, then from a trauma center in Toronto to a rape clinic in Africa. At a time when as many as one in three women in the world have been victims of sexual assault and when many women are still ashamed to come forward, Freedmans book is a moving and essential look at how survivors cope and persevere.
At once deeply intimate and terrifyingly universal, One Hour in Paris weaves together Freedmans personal experience with the latest philosophical, neuroscientific, and psychological insights on what it means to live in a body that has been traumatized. Using her background as a philosopher, she looks at the history of psychological trauma and draws on recent theories of posttraumatic stress disorder and neuroplasticity to show how recovery from horrific experiences is possible. Through frank discussions of sex and intimacy, she explores the consequences of sexual violence for love and relationships, and she illustrates the steep personal cost of sexual violence and the obstacles faced by individual survivors in its aftermath. Freedmans book is an urgent call to face this fundamental social problem head-on, arguing that we cannot continue to ignore the fact that sexual violence against women is rooted in gender inequalities that exist worldwide—and must be addressed.
One Hour in Paris is essential reading for survivors of sexual violence as well as an invaluable resource for therapists, mental health professionals, and family members and friends of victims.
Whether or not you'd go out of your way to read anything that might be classified as a rape memoir, give Alice Sebold your attention for her first five pages and you're in for the whole ride. Written in a fever of unapologetic self-discipline, Lucky is just about everything you'd expect it not to be. There's no expedition in search of psychic wounds, no yanking at your sleeve to get your conscience into the picture. Sebold was only a college freshman in a beat-up sweater when her horrible assault occurred, and she was a virgin. Maybe if rape was classified as a form of torture it would be simpler to map out the parameters of the damage it causes. Right now, as Patricia Weaver Francisco, author of Telling, has said, a lot of people think of it as a form of bad sex.
At first, Lucky seems to bounce you into a state of half-belief. The rape itself, narrated at the very beginning of the book, is so merciless it's nearly impossible to absorb. The man beat her and tore at her; the shriveled object in the courtroom evidence bag was so stiff and black — like ruined leather — that it was hard to tell it was her blood-soaked underwear. Once Sebold goes back to her bookish family to repair herself, her household becomes an odd but dramatically rich place to begin to heal. The first thing her father asks her when she gets back home is whether she'd like something to eat. "That would be nice," she says, "considering the only thing I've had in my mouth in the last twenty-four hours is a cracker and a cock."
The smart but not good-looking Alice (as she sees herself, wrongly on that last count) keeps a cool head as her family wavers, as she leaves them once more to return to school, as she helps catch her assailant. And then, in a wrenching moment that comes from out of nowhere, she has to keep from losing her mind when she faces the police lineup and fingers the wrong guy. How in the world is this ever going to work out?
Sebold credits teachers, including Tess Gallagher and Geoffrey Wolff, who surely had something to do with the making of a writer who can spit out a harrowing story that's still vibrating and flexible. Reading Sebold is like listening to Syd Straw singing about the worst thing that ever happened to her. Not that being funny doesn't help; Sebold can do that, too. But mainly, Lucky derives imaginative traction from its form and style, its continually expanding view. By the end, the mysteries of individuality that it conveys seem accessible only to the reluctantly brave. The book's acknowledgments conclude with some lovely, ardent thanks to Sebold's vulnerable mother. Because Lucky makes compassion a more personal, less automatic response, this gift to her mother seems light enough to carry and to keep. Sally Eckhoff, Salon.com
In her powerful memoir, philosopher and rape survivor Karyn Freedman travels back to one night in Paris in 1990, when she was 22 and when, in one violent hour, her life was changed forever. Freedman takes the reader with her on a harrowing yet inspirational journey through trauma and recovery – from a courtroom in Paris and a trauma resource center in Toronto to working with young women at a rape clinic in Africa. At once deeply intimate and bracingly universal, A Paris Night weaves together Freedman's personal experience with her philosophical insights and her wide-ranging efforts to understand what it means to live in a body that has been traumatized. Drawing on recent theories of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and neuroplasticity, Karyn shows how recovery from traumatic experiences is possible. A Paris Night is written for survivors of sexual violence as well as for anyone who has lived through a traumatic experience, or knows someone who has. It is sure to become an invaluable resource for family members, educators and mental health professionals.
Theo is better now.
Shes eating again, dating guys who are almost appropriate, and well on her way to becoming an elite ballet dancer. But when her oldest friend, Donovan, returns home after spending four long years with his kidnapper, Theo starts reliving memories about his abduction—and his abductor.
Donovan isnt talking about what happened, and even though Theo knows she didnt do anything wrong, telling the truth would put everything shes been living for at risk. But keeping quiet might be worse.
Brandy Colbert dazzles in this heartbreaking yet hopeful debut novel about learning how to let go of even our most shameful secrets.
In a memoir hailed for its searing candor and wit, Alice Sebold reveals how her life was utterly transformed when, as an eighteen-year-old college freshman, she was brutally raped and beaten in a park near campus. What propels this chronicle of her recovery is Sebold's indomitable spirit-as she struggles for understanding ("After telling the hard facts to anyone, from lover to friend, I have changed in their eyes"); as her dazed family and friends sometimes bungle their efforts to provide comfort and support; and as, ultimately, she triumphs, managing through grit and coincidence to help secure her attacker's arrest and conviction. In a narrative by turns disturbing, thrilling, and inspiring, Alice Sebold illuminates the experience of trauma victims even as she imparts wisdom profoundly hard-won: "You save yourself or you remain unsaved."

Attorney General Eric Holder (pictured) lies awake at night worrying about the threat to the homeland from home-grown terrorists.
"It's a very serious threat. I think what it says is that the scope, our scope, has to be broadened. We can't think that it's just a bunch of people in caves in some part of the world," Holder told ABC News on Wednesday. "We have to be concerned about the homeland to the same extent that we are worried about the threat coming from overseas."
The threat, as Holder sees it, is increased by the failure of the American people to fear the next attack.
"I worry a little that the American people, from the general population, has become a little complacent that we don't understand or realize that the threats are still real, that the danger is out there, is still tangible, that we still have to be as vigilant as we need to be," Holder told Pierre Thomas of ABC News.
The federal government remains vigilant, Holder proclaims.
During his interview, Holder reminded Thomas of the FBI's successful foiling of several recent terrorist plots. ABC News writes:
During his tenure as attorney general, federal authorities have thwarted numerous terrorist plots hatched within the U.S., and Holder told ABC News that the threat of homegrown plots warrants as much attention as international terrorism. In December, the FBI arrested two Florida brothers, Raees Alam and Sheheryar Alam Qazi, alleging they had sought to obtain explosives and carry out a terrorist attack in New York City. The two were charged with conspiracy to use a weapon of mass destruction and conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
If that were true, it would be very praiseworthy. It isn't.
Consider this account of one of the federal government's successful "stings" as covered by The New American:
