BROCKPORT, NY-Alumni from across the country gathered at The College at Brockport, State University of New York, to reunite and reminisce May 29 through June 1. A full slate of activities helped the Classes of 1964, 1969, 1974, 1989, and 2004 and others celebrate during the College's Reunion Weekend.
The weekend, which saw more than 450 alumni and friends return to campus, was a tremendous success.
"We had alumni from the past 8 decades come back to celebrate and although the College has changed throughout those years, the one constant is the strong bond that the alums hold for their alma mater and the power of those friendships, new and old alike, that have stood the test of time," said Kerry Gotham, Brockport's Director of Alumni Relations.
Festivities kicked off with the Bob Boozer Golden Eagle Open on Thursday and continued throughout the weekend. On Friday, the College's 50th anniversary class came together with its most recent graduating class to continue a longstanding Brockport tradition by planting two trees on Alumni Walk.
"It's a great tradition," said Brockport President John R. Halstead, PhD. "The Golden Class of 1964 and recent grads of 2014 continue to leave their legacy on campus."
Sandi Forno Eichorn '64 came back for her 50th reunion and helped plant her class tree, but she hasn't been a stranger to Brockport since graduation. "We were here for our 30th and 40th reunions as well," Eichorn said. "My husband and I met here and we've been married 49 years. Brockport is a special place to us."
Alyssa Mitchell '14 has noticed the trees during her time at Brockport. "I always walked through Alumni Walk and now knowing there's a little piece of me here means a lot," Mitchell said.
The weekend culminated with the annual Alumni Awards Ceremony and Reunion Dinner on Saturday evening. Eight Brockport alumni were honored during the celebration and each have a unique, yet powerful Brockport story to share.
Joey Jackson '88, Kay D. VanNostrand '64, and Racheal Wood '05 were inducted into the Hall of Heritage, the Brockport Alumni Association's most prestigious honor. The Hall of Heritage is designed to honor alumni who have distinguished themselves by their exceptional contributions to the Alumni Association and/or the College and/or the community and/or have shown outstanding professional achievement.
Jackson, a former Brockport Student Government President, is a nationally-recognized criminal defense attorney. VanNostrand is a retired teacher who now devotes her time to a variety of volunteer efforts. Wood is a critical care nurse in the United States Army who is currently stationed at the White House Medical Unit in Washington, DC.
Ory Mee '72, Gregg Pastore '99 and Becky Smith '64/'72 each received The Honors for Outstanding Service Award. The award is designed to honor those who have given outstanding service to the Alumni Association and/or the College and/or given outstanding community service and/or shown outstanding professional achievement.
Mee spent more than 30 years as a physical education teacher and coach at the Hilton Central School District. Pastore serves as senior director of digital media for the Buffalo Bills. Smith teaches future health educators and played a direct role in developing the credentialing system that is now used by more than 10,000 health education specialists nationwide.
Brian Koziol '00/'03 and Nicholas J. Arcieri '03 were presented with the Recent Alumnus Award, which goes to graduates who have received their bachelor's degree within the past 15 years and who have developed a positive relationship with the Alumni Association/the College and/or given outstanding community service and/or shown outstanding professional achievement. Koziol is a math teacher who also serves a broadcaster for WGR 550-AM in Buffalo. Arcieri is the manager of software development for Education-Academic Information Technology for the University of Rochester School of Medicine and Dentistry.
Other highlights of the weekend include:
* A Hartwell Society Luncheon for all members of the society and the induction of the Class of 1964
* A sneak preview of the College's new Liberal Arts Building-slated to open in September (Save the Date - Ribbon cutting on September 19, 2014)
* An Alumni vow renewal ceremony
* A Brockport Student Government (BSG) Reunion
* A reunion in celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Stylus, Brockport's student newspaper

If you're interested in online reputation management, you might want to watch that space
Once apon a time I was a member of Ecademy, an online business networking platform. At the time I joined (somewhere around 2006) it had an interesting mix of online and offline interactions. Like many people trying to start up their own businesses and make them work I spent too much time networking online (in various places) while convincing myself I was building some kind of foundation for my business. In my case, this turned out not to be true – however, it's not the case for all businesses. Many people get just the start they need from that kind of activity and many use online networking in a way they can demonstrate adds value to their businesses.
Eventually I decided to let my Ecademy membership lapse. There were a number of reasons for this. Firstly (as I mentioned above) I realised that my activity there wasn't what my business really needed at the time. Secondly, I didn't like the cliquey-ness of Ecademy with it's 'BlackStar' elite and their incessant marketing. Thirdly, I didn't really like the management style. There was a very small power-circle (pun intended) made up of the Powers and the Watkins. If you didn't toady to this inner circle, you were out in the wilderness. As for me, I neither agreed nor disagreed with them on anything, I just didn't really want to be in a place that smelled so strongly of 'Arslikhan' (as Private Eye would have it).
I found the process of closing my account infuriating – so much so that I blogged here about it on this site. As someone who has been around social media since way before the start, I was interested to watch the fortunes of Ecademy over the time I had been a member and beyond. There's nothing like being a social media / online networking user to know what makes an online environment work and what doesn't. The first thing for any entrepreneur to know is that the experience is product that we may or may not buy – not the platform that the owner or the developer get so excited about. That's just the environment stuff happens in.
The second thing to know is that 'free' doesn't mean you can forget about delivering value. No matter how 'free' a service is, no matter how generous its owners think they are by giving it away, it still has to deliver benefits that are tangible to the user and which he/she thinks are a fair exchange for filling that world with their data and content. On top of this, too many online entrepreneurs end up believing their own list of the 'benefits of the free membership level' even when they are given evidence to the contrary. Facebook understand the folly of doing this and so, surprisingly, does LinkedIn. Both of these have steered a careful course and listened (if grudgingly) to their users, notably the non-paying ones.
Over the years, I've occasionally looked in at Ecademy to see how it was doing and it clearly wasn't good. At one point Ecademy suddenly went from being the familiar dark-blue, visually-reassuring, orderly business site to looking like a bad undergraduate design project. I have no idea when this transition happened or why, but it was as if the maturity and seriousness had dropped out of the project overnight. The site design and new logo looked shoddy and chaotic. I have seen this happen once before to an online business networking site where two of directors fell out with a third – their IT director – with the result that he went home in disgust and took his toys and the entire site with him. All that was left was some data and a skeleton for the remaining directors to frantically try to rebuild. Perhaps something similar happened with Ecademy? I don't know.
Something prompted me to look at Ecademy again today and I saw straight away a new 'splash' on the home page announcing that 'Ecademy is changing' to become something called 'Sunzu – the art of business'. I learned quickly that the Powers had left the building and the site now had a new owner – a Mr. Lyndon Wood (Founder and Director of the Moorhouse Group).
I took a look around to see what was changing. I didn't find much tangible evidence of change, but I did read quite a few posts outlining Mr. Wood's vision and promises for the future of Ecademy. I also read a fair few comments from the last-guard of the Ecademy community, many of them 'Blackstars' (those people who paid Thomas and Penny Power a lot of money for 'lifetime' membership benefits that they now say never really materialised). These members were in dialogue with Lyndon Wood and some were challenging him on his vision and views.
Which brings me to this post.
It's clear that Lyndon Wood has chosen to position himself visibly at the helm of what he describes as a 'gamble' with Ecademy and to engage the members in a publicly-visible dialogue. From a brief reading of the exchanges so far, I would say that there is the danger of a reputation storm brewing for Mr. Wood. This is fuelled both by a combative style of communication and a tendency to dismiss as unworthy the views of those who disagree with him. You might get away with this with your employees but not with your customers.
The most dangerous path for any business to tread online is the path of dialogue with one's customers – particularly when they're not happy. This is the real space where reputations are made and destroyed – sometimes in the space of a single sentence. To dialogue with one's dissatisfied customers productively in the glare of online visibility takes the kind of awareness that doesn't come lightly. To borrow from Einstein:
most people try to solve reputation problems with the same level of awareness and communication skills that created those reputation problems in the first place
I've every respect for someone who has built up a successful business in insurance. I tip my hat. But if you want to see a potential reputation disaster in the making, then in Mr. Wood's own words: feel free to watch what happens next.
Managing yourself productively through this kind of dialogue where your dreams, ambitions and beliefs come up against critical feedback from paying members is an extremely tough ask and it's that much tougher when those customers haven't had a very good deal so far. In those circumstances, it's all too easy to vent your feelings and your frustration in a way that can do your reputation untold damage.
What do I recommend?
I would say:
• Take the position that you're the last person to know the impression you're creating
• Ask others who are not involved and who aren't going to massage your ego what they get from the exchanges you've already had
• Increase your understanding of your own emotional reactions in this dialogue; invest in some new skills to stay out of reaction in such difficult dialogues
It's the unconscious reaction that costs every time.

Could my goldfish have an enlarged heart?
1 Attachment(s)
I have a very large goldfish, about seven inches long, I've had it for about six months now. A couple days ago I noticed that the area under his pectoral fins has become swollen, now there are soars on this swollen area, I think those might be due to bumping into one of the fake plants he likes to chew on. Is it possible that he has an enlarged heart. I've looked on the internet and asked at several stored that sell fish and the closest answer I could find is an article about zebra fish diseases and in it the picture looks just like my gold fish. This is the picture of the zebra fish. I know that comet gold fish don't have the best genetic lines with all the inbreeding. Has anyone heard of this, any input would be great. Thanks.
Maybe some kind of tumor?? I know a couple years back my friend had a betta that developed a lump and continued getting bigger until it popped.

10 gallon
i was wonderin if i setup an old 10 gallon wat type of newts could i put in it, the only newts i see around here are paddletail newts and firebelly newts. I really like the paddletail would they be ok in a 10 gallon or would firebelly's be the best
You could do either in a 10g. Just not both.
I am going to be getting two Fire bellies in my 10g, I could probably do more, but I am sticking with two for now. I think you could do the same with the paddle tails. They get to be 6-7inches.
Here is a great link about paddle tails if you haven't found it already:
It seems to me like 2 6-7 inch newts in a 10 gallon might be a little much. Just not that much room them especially if they like to spend a lot of time in the water.
The paddletails on the other hand seem to mostly aquatic and should be fine in a 10 gallon as long as they have a fair number of places to hide. It says they can be agressive but it seems like there is only a problem with different species. Lots of good filtration would be needed to keep the water quility and they prefer a current to the filtration will help.

An Anachronism
This review is from: WeightWatchers® Glass Body Analysis Scale
Pros: None.
Cons: 6 years ago when I bought this, it was okay. However, today and given how the user settings must be entered and then recorded before it turns off automatically (no controls to delay the turn-off), given Bluetooth and other upload feeds, it isn't worth the money. You have to bend down to select the user each time (you cannot set a "default user" even if there is only one) if you want it to assess body fat, etc. Finally, mine has gone off calibration by 5 pounds, judging by my doctor's scale and other people who randomly have stepped on it over the years and expressed surprise. There is no re-calibration. Replacing the battery (pancake, like for a PC) doesn't help. It does show 0.0 when nobody is on it and it's turned on, but the weight reading is off by 5 pounds and to the high side. There are too many things wrong/old on this model that have no issues on a more modern scale.

This review is from: WeightWatchers® Glass Body Analysis Scale
Pros: This product looks nice and sleek
Cons: It does not work. I called Conair support, they requested me to remove the battery and put it on after 3 hours to reset the chip inside. It worked for 1 minute and then stopped working. Do not buy this product online.

Linn boys strong in Class 1
Saturday, November 5, 2011
To say the Linn Wildcats have had a great cross country season in 2011 would be an insult. Pick any superlative better than great, if there are any, and you're right on course. Linn has dominated its competition all year.
The Wildcats look to be the favorite to win the Class 1 state cross country championships when they race at 9 a.m. today at the Oak Hills Golf Center. It would be Linn's first cross country state title since 1999 and fifth in the program's history.

Some people are concerned 2013 will be an unlucky year because of the number 13. As compared to those lucky years like 2012 and 2011.
Congress has approved some version of this fiscal cliff bill thing. Well, taxes are going up, and now, they're looking to make cuts just about everywhere. In fact, oil companies today had to lay off 15 senators.
This has been a tough week for NFL coaches. Seven NFL head coaches got fired on Monday. That's a lot of job openings. That's the most job openings we've had in this country in the last four years.
According to Forbes magazine, the Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable team in the NFL. They are worth $2 billion. So I guess that old adage, "winning isn't everything," is true.
You're looking at a very happy man. I made $500. You know how I did that? Betting against the Mayans.
Welcome to The Late Show, ladies and gentlemen, referred to as TV's entertainment cliff.
Kim Kardashian is pregnant. I just hope the media doesn't make a big deal about it. I hope it doesn't get blown way out of proportion.
That means Kim will be seeking publicity for two now.
After hours and hours of tough negotiation, the most powerful people in America have finally come to an agreement — that's right, if it's a girl, they'll name it Kim, and if it's a boy, they'll name it Kanye.
While working on a deal to avoid the fiscal cliff, members of Congress spent New Year's Eve at the Capitol. Yeah, even the guy watching the Twilight Zone marathon with his parents was like, "Talk about a lame New Year's."
I heard that Dunkin' Donuts is testing a new line of gluten-free pastries. So if you're looking to eat healthy, still no.

Wolfpack Soldiers build new opportunity in Thailand
March 8, 2013
By 1st Lt. Scott Kantner, 643rd Engineer Company, 84th Engineer Battalion, 130th Engineer Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command
Related Links
FORT SHAFTER, Hawaii-- For the third straight year, the 643rd Engineer Company, 84th Engineer Battalion, 130th Engineer Brigade, 8th Theater Sustainment Command, has deployed to Thailand for exercise Cobra Gold to construct schools and spread education to the children of Thailand.
Cobra Gold is an annual six-week joint exercise between the United States, Thailand, and six other nations. It is a "cooperative engagement" in which U.S. Pacific Command's forces and assets are employed to strengthen alliances and friendships while deterring aggression.
This year, "Wolfpack" Soldiers of 1st Platoon, 643rd Eng. Co. deployed for more than forty days to Phitsanulok providence to construct a new kindergarten and first-aid building for the Ban Hua Wang Krang School. The school, which serves 70 children through the instruction of four teachers, was in severe need of assistance because of severe damage by termite infestation and floods. The Wolfpack would take on the challenge of replacing these buildings in just over a month. The replacement would be a 1680-square-foot concrete masonry building; impervious to insect damage and resistant to the flooding which plaques the area.
While heavily engaged in construction, the Wolfpack worked side-by-side with Thai and Sing engineers, experiencing the construction techniques and culture of each force.
"We learned a lot from the Thai Engineers, and they learned a lot from us," said Sgt. Jonathan Ayers, a team leader with the unit. "We drove the construction timeline and made sure it got done one time, but they showed us how they lay stucco inches thick to produce a wall as smooth as drywall."
The Thai Soldiers learned how to efficiently lay quality concrete block, while the U.S. and Sing Soldiers learned the Thai methods for finishing stucco, which was a significantly more time-consuming process, but produced a far smoother finish than standard U.S. stucco.
The job nearly complete, the Wolfpack were given time to explore the local Thai culture. The local Phitsanulok Temple, Phra Si Ratana Temple (Wat Yai), one of the most revered temples in Thailand, hosted a fair towards the end of January, allowing the Soldiers to experience the local culture and cuisine. While exploring, the Wolfpack also happened upon an Elephant Sanctuary only a short drive away from the project site. They were greeted with the opportunity to pet, feed, and even ride the nearly 3-ton creatures.
"That is one of the coolest experiences I've ever had," said Spc. Ethan Mustain, carpentry and masonry specialist with the 634th. "It made the whole trip to Thailand worth it."
After 30 days of hard work with limited rest, the final touch-ups were complete to the paint and the dedication sign was installed, marking the completion of the jointly constructed building. Though finished a few days before, the official completion date of the Building would be marked Feb. 21 as it would be dedicated in front of the provincial Governor, U.S. Ambassador, the commanding generals of the Thai and Sing forces for Cobra Gold, and the U.S. commanding general of Army Forces in Japan. The ceremony was a tribute from the school children and principal to the Soldiers, in thanks for the new school and new opportunities. The principal referred to the hard work done by U.S. Soldiers as "The good stuff".

Hurley™ was born out of a love for the ocean that continues more than three decades later. Bob Hurley founded Hurley Surfboards in 1979 in Costa Mesa, CA. Within a few years, he was shaping boards for some of the world's best surfers. By the 1990s, Bob began to realize that surf culture was intertwined with fashion, music, and art. He sought to capture the ever-changing spirit of the ocean in the company's beach apparel. Bob founded Hurley with the intention of redefining what it meant to be a surf brand.
Today, Hurley remains true to its beach roots as one of the leading producers of surf gear, boardshorts, and swimsuits. Hurley's most popular items for both men and women include the "Phantom" and "Puerto Rico" swimwear lines. The company also features rashguards, bags, and other accessories for the avid surfer.
But Hurley products are not just for lovers of the water -- the brand's apparel takes the spirit of surfing into all facets of life. Hurley features popular lines of t-shirts, hoodies, backpacks, tote bags, hats, pants, and dresses. Despite having become one of the biggest names in surf and swim gear, Hurley remains passionate about the ideals of inclusion, positivity, and freedom of expression that go hand-in-hand with beach culture.

Food & Nutrition
My favorite holiday that involves food is Thanksgiving and I think it is very sad that the second most important American holiday has been often forgotten. I'll be honest and say it's my favorite because it has to do with food! It's not only the food for the holiday but it's the wonderful planned-overs after that holiday. I know people celebrate Thanksgiving numerous times during November so now is the time for your turkey information reminders.
Before you purchase your turkey it is a good idea to be sure there is ample space in your refrigerator, moving shelves if necessary. If you are planning to purchase a frozen turkey you can take advantage of special sales. When purchasing a whole turkey, purchase at least one pound of uncooked turkey per person. This ensures you will have enough for the feast and for planned-overs too! If you prefer a fresh turkey, it is convenient in that you do not have to thaw it first, but there is no quality difference between a fresh turkey or frozen. Fresh turkeys should be purchased only one to two days before the meal and kept refrigerated.
Never defrost your turkey on the counter! Thawing your turkey in the refrigerator is the safest method and results in the best finished product. Leave the bird in the original packaging and place in a shallow pan. Allow refrigerator thawing time at a rate of 4 to 5 pounds per 24 hours. To thaw a frozen turkey in cold water, keep turkey in the original packaging, place in a clean and sanitized sink or pan and submerge in cold water. Change the cold water every 30 minutes. The turkey will take about 30 minutes per pound to thaw. Cook the turkey immediately after it is thawed. Do not refreeze.
Once thawed, remove neck and giblets from the body cavities and keep bird and parts (if using) refrigerated at 40 degrees F or below until it is ready to be cooked. The single most important thing to know, no matter the cooking method, is that the turkey must be cooked to the proper internal temperature of 165 degrees as measured with a food thermometer. Insert a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the thigh, not touching the bone. Check the internal temperature in the innermost part of the thigh and wing and the thickest part of the breast.
For roasting an unstuffed turkey, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven, the approximate cooking times are as follows: 8 to 12 pounds for 2 3/4 to 3 hours; 12-14 pounds for 3 to 3 3/4 hours; 14-18 pounds for 3 3/4 to 4 1/4 hours; 20-24 pounds for 4 1/2 to 5 hours. To roast a stuffed turkey, uncovered, in a 325 degree oven, the approximate cooking times are: 8 to 12 pounds for 3 to 3 1/2 hours; 12 to 14 pounds for 3 1/2 to 4 hours; 14 to 18 pounds for 4 to 4 1/4 hours; 18 to 20 pounds for 4 1/4 to 4 3/4 hours; 20 to 24 pounds for 4 3/4 to 5 1/4 hours. Take safety precautions by stuffing the bird immediately before roasting and checking that the internal temperature of the stuffing also reaches 165 degrees.
Once your turkey is cooked it is best to let it rest for 20 minutes before carving. This allows the juices to set, so the turkey will carve more easily. Any leftover turkey should not be left on the counter for more than two hours. Remove the stuffing and store all leftovers in shallow containers in the refrigerator or freezer. When reheating, be sure to heat thoroughly to 165 degrees or until hot and steaming. Gravy should reach a boil and be used within 3-4 days.

Cell provider question
A long time ago AT&T was one of the only ones that allowed you to use your cell phone while traveling in Europe, at least that I could find at the time. That is one reason why we always remained with AT&T since we traveled overseas. Now I'm thinking of switching and having this possibility will be one of the deciding factors on who we go with. I wanted to ask my fellow travelers which provider they use and any pros and/or cons you have about that provider while traveling in Europe. I plan to do research but having heard what others think will help. Thank you!

Do false positives occur often with home pregnancy tests?
I took a home pregnacy test first thing Friday morning and it was positive. My doctor took a test on Monday around noon and it was negative. Does this happen often? Does this mean I'm not pregnant?

Turns out I was pregnant :) 17 weeks along now!posted 04/01/2011 by cg31179
Sometimes it is a chemical pregnancy. That means (I think) that the sperm and egg meet but there is no implantation. I have also read that the average woman will have 6-10 miscarriages in their life and not even know it. Id do some research on chemical pregnancys and early miscarriages to determine which one it was. Good luck!posted 01/05/2011 by MissOliviasMommy

Infracalcaneal Exostosis
An infracalcaneal exostosis is a term that describes a large bony prominence or spur on the bottom of the heel bone or calcaneus. In some patients, this bone spur can actually be large enough to be felt on the bottom of the heel.
The bone spur is caused by traction or pulling on the heel bone or calcaneus by tiny muscles on the bottom of the foot. Many people correlate "heel spurs" with plantar fasciitis. This is a false statement. The plantar fascia in actuality, inserts just lateral to the plantar heel spur.
Most patients have 1 – 1.5 inches of fat pad on the bottom of the heel that aids in cushioning and shock absorption for the calcaneus. In older patients who have experienced atrophy or thinning of the fat pad, the bone spur can be prominent and very painful.
Treatment includes cushioning of the infracalcaneal exostosis, wearing appropriate shoe gear to soften the impact of the heel with walking or running.
For those patient who cannot find relief cushioning, padding or shoe therapy, surgery is a viable option. Surgery involves removing the plantar heel spur or infracalcaneal exostosis and making the bottom surface of the heel bone flat and smooth. A extended period of non-weightbearing is suggested due to possible risk of stress fracture with early weight bearing following the surgery.
If you have a prominent heel spur on the bottom of the heel, please visit our office for a clinical evaluation. Call 972-542-2155 for an appointment today.

MPH: Biostatistics Concentration
The Master of Public Health program with a concentration in biostatistics provides the skills to design, analyze, and interpret the results of public health studies. Biostatistics students learn the quantitative skills to prepare them for collaboration in public health research and surveillance projects that will aid in prevention and treatment of diseases and development of public health policy. The program emphasizes the statistical aspects of research, including study design, data management statistical analysis, and appropriate interpretation of statistical results. Through such courses as biostatistics, advanced regression analysis, and statistical computing, students learn the statistical applications important for public health and medical research. Graduates are prepared for further study or careers in research, project management, academia, or the private sector.
Concentration Requirements
All MPH students must complete BS 704 or its equivalent to meet the MPH core course requirement in Biostatistics. This course does not count for concentration credit in Biostatistics.
All Biostatistics concentrators must take 16 credits in concentration courses and complete the Biostatistics Culminating Experience poster presentation, described below.
Biostatistics concentrators must take all three of the following courses in sequence. BS 723, BS 805, and BS 852 cannot be taken concurrently without permission of the academic advisor.
- BS 723 Introduction to Statistical Computing, with a B or better
- BS 805 Intermediate Statistical Computing and Applied Regression Analysis
- BS 852 Statistical Methods for Epidemiology
And one course from among the following five:
- BS 722 Design and Conduct of Clinical Trials
- BS 820 Logistic Regression and Survival Analysis
- BS 821 Categorical Data Analysis
- BS 851 Applied Statistics in Clinical Trials I
- BS 858 Statistical Genetics I
Culminating Experience
To complete the required MPH Culminating Experience, Biostatistics concentrators must participate in Biostatistics in Public Health Day, which is held once a semester. Students will create and present to the faculty and other students analyses of public health data, which have been prepared beyond coursework. Study questions will need to address issues relating to other fields within public health that concentrators have studied during their MPH training. Posters will contain their research question, analysis methods, and results. Students will be called upon to explain the above elements and their conclusions during the poster presentation.

I don't know the details. Just saying that as a user, I'd like to write DGM-style methods. I assume the number of methods added in such a way would be way below the number of DGM methods. IMHO this feature should only be used by end-user applications. For libraries, the risk of nasty conflicts is too high.
the additionals parts is not used by the runtime, it is used by groovydoc and by the part that generates callsites for the dgm methods. If we really wanted to do it like dgm, then we would need those hundreds of generated classes. The reason we have them simply is, that laoding them is faster than loading a giant DGM and inspecting it through reflection. Also a point to consider is that the more methods are added the slower groovy will startup, since that complete registry is done once at startup. I was thinking that we should have a more efficient system, but I couldn't come up with one yet
From a user's perspective, I'm very much in favor of implementing methods in DGM style. In particular, I want to be able to implement the methods in Groovy or Java.
Yes, the DefautGroovyMethods class already has support for this (the "additionals" static field). However, it looks much more complicated to provide MetaMethods than implementing extensions through DGM style.
The last time I was thinking about this area I had the thought that it might be best not to have a file class in the style of DefaultGroovyMethods from which we get the methods. I was thinking that it might be better to think of that more as a kind of plugin and that it maybe should instead provide the MetaMethods directly. We could then also do it fully in spi style.
I'm not sure such a feature should only be available through grapes : having a global way of adding such methods looks interesting to me. Do you think we should provide both ?
Nice patch. For 1.9 I have something similar but aligned with grapes rather than just the ones found during registry bootstrapping. I think grapes is also where custom compiler extensions more naturally belong too but the current compiler extensions mechanism was put in place as an interim solution for groovypp.
The attached patch allows adding default groovy methods by adding custom jar in the classpath. Those jars must provide a META-INF/services/org.codehaus.groovy.dgm.extensions file which lists the FQN of extension classes which are written in a DGM-style. Here's an example :
package groovy.dgm; public class MyExtension { public static String dup(String str) { if (str==null) return null; return str+str; } }
The mechanics are therefore similar to those used for global AST transformations and custom compiler extensions.
Really want to see a META-INF/services based solution that lets me add GDK methods in DGM-style, without EMC and potentially written in Java.
A mechanism (such as James') that adds methods statically would be a great addition. In particular, it would allow tools like the JetGroovy plugin to do static analysis on the methods.
For example, at present if I use auto completion with "new File()" in JetGroovy it lists "eachFileRecurse". However, anything added via ExpandoMetaClass is not visible. Nor can it ever be as it is only bound dynamically at runtime (static analysis could never determine if the code that adds the method via ExpandoMetaClass gets executed).
I postponing this issue a little, as I'd like we discuss the topic at Groovy DevCon #4.
There are different mechanisms, like the magic package for MetaClasses, and there was an idea for defining EMCs in some magic startup script, and also this proposal your make.
I'd like to find a good way to make things consistent in that area, and I think it deserve some thought.
I used an ExpandoMetaClass in the end (as there's no other option! . However I'm not totally happy with it - as it assumes that the user of your library is gonna call some magic install script in some place to make sure the methods get added. This is probably fine in lots of frameworks like Grails where there's already an initialization point - but in general, adding groovy methods to arbitrary code - we need some kinda auto-discovery way to find the expando-metaclass scripts.
Whether we use Java code as in my patch, or groovy and ExpandoMetaClass doesn't matter a whole lot - the main issue we need to address IMHO is adding an auto-discovery mechanism so we can by default add methods to new types by adding a jar to the classpath - without the user having to remember to call some initialization script
Hi James, have you considered using ExpandoMetaClass? http://groovy.codehaus.org/ExpandoMetaClass
it is becoming the standard way to extend the functionality of Groovy and you don't have to write a custom meta class per Groovy class.
attached patch - as I don't seem to have commit karma any more

Stable Isotopes in Custom Peptide Synthesis
By: Bio-Synthesis Inc. |
Isotopes refer to differences in the number of neutrons in the nucleus of atoms; isotopes can be radioactive, when they decay, releasing energy in the process and stable isotopes, as the name indicates, do not decay and actually can be isolated as such. Most biologically active proteins have two or more stable isotopes, with the lightest ones representing the most abundant ones. For example C13 and N15 are heavy isotopes with an abundance of 1% and C12 and N14 have an abundance of 99%.. In the c

The way to get into the gauntlet is very unconventional and has never been done in a legitimate Pokemon Game. However, I know it's been done in at least one hack.
Anyways, despite how it may appear, the S.S. Anne wasn't the only thing opened up to you by completing the guantlet. Think of another key item you got on the way through it. That item (in a rather roundabout way) allows you to access another route you couldn't reach before. By completing that route, you will have access to Cerulean.
Confused? (Spoiler tag contains spoilers!)
You got the bike in Cerulean Gauntlet. Take it to Cycling Road to get fly. Fly to Cerulean.
Also, this game uses Lunar IPS because I was new to this forum upon releasing it. Some forums want you to use a patch as to avoid linking ROMs, but I suppose this one is okay with it. Didn't want to take the risk, so I used a patch.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Suspended NFL star Michael Vick will head
back to a Kansas prison after a judge rejected an effort to keep
him in Virginia to work on a new bankruptcy plan.
U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Frank Santoro denied a motion Tuesday to
require Vick's attendance at an April 28 status hearing. Vick's
lawyers had hoped such an order would prompt federal authorities to
leave him at the Western Tidewater Regional Jail until then so they
could work with him on the new plan.
Vick will be returned to the federal penitentiary in
Leavenworth, Kansas, until he is released to home confinement late
next month.
Vick is serving a 23-month sentence for a dogfighting
conspiracy. Santoro rejected his bankruptcy plan Friday.

Study Buddies program pairs teens with children in need
Thursday, October 14, 2010
It's homework, but it's fun.
On Tuesday and Thursday evenings, a couple dozen schoolchildren flood the back parking lot of Christ Lutheran Church in Fairfax City. The children, most of whom live in motels or government-subsidized housing, come for help on homework provided by Study Buddies, a volunteer tutoring group staffed by teenagers.
Volunteers with the program say the children, who are mostly 5 to 11, are unlike their classmates. For one, they enjoy the extra help and time spent on homework. Second, they cannot always rely on help from family members, who often speak limited or no English.
During Study Buddies nights, children get about 20 minutes of playtime with their teen tutors, one-on-one help on homework and -- if they finish early -- an opportunity to play board games.
"Look at them. They get so much attention from these big high school boys. Where else would they get that kind of attention?" said adult volunteer Margie Urano, who has been with the program since 2001.
The attention the children receive at Study Buddies often replaces negative influences in their communities, volunteers said.
"It kept me out of trouble," said Fairfax High School senior Abele Tekle, 17, who for seven years received homework help on English and science. Although Tekle was born in Alexandria, his parents are from Eritrea, in eastern Africa.
"I really connected to the mentors. . . . They weren't my parents, so I could talk to them about stuff I couldn't talk about with my parents," he said.
Now, Tekle is giving back by volunteering as a tutor two nights a week. "In my neighborhood, there was a lot of gang activity," Tekle said. "So this gave me something to do."
Among the students volunteering this fall, Tekle is one of the few from area public high schools. The majority are from Paul VI Catholic High School in Fairfax, which neighbors the Lutheran church. Juniors and seniors at the school fulfill community service requirements by volunteering with Study Buddies.
"It's pretty fun and rewarding," said junior Coleman Johnson, 16, of Paul VI. "I wasn't expecting this many kids. When I was growing up, I had a lot easier time than some of these kids. Some of my [basketball] teammates came from rough backgrounds. I feel like I'm helping them."
In the church's kitchen, tutors such as Johnson pair off with elementary school students. Johnson is teamed with a 6-year-old. As they sip juice boxes provided by adult volunteers, the pair works on a math assignment, both smiling through the work.

When you bring baby home from the hospital, you also bring home a strange and embarrassing array of personal hygiene "accoutrements."
If anyone had told me I'd be eternally grateful for the huge mesh panties and free bag of super duper absorbent maxi pads the hospital hands out, I wouldn't have believed them.
But, believe me, I was. So happy, in fact, I wished I had accepted offers of more. I actually mourned the last pair of disposable underpants as if they were that final connection between me and those amazing nurses who took care of me and my baby, day and night, for such a fleeting time before they callously sent us home to face the reality of life with no call button, no ice machine, and a really sore vagina.
So, until you're actually in those disposable panties, with that ice pack wedged between your legs, here's a sneak peak at what kind of post-partum swag you can anticipate:
Any post-partum necessities I've neglected to include?

Close-up Video of Erupting Fimmvorduhals Volcano
While it is clear that Fimmvorduhals Volcano which erupted in south Iceland on March 20, 2010 will not flood the area by melting nearby Eyjafjallajokull glacier, it is still very active and poses potential serious threats to inquisitive visitors. Volcano eruptions are accompanied by a release of poisonous gases such as fluorine, sulfur, carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide – the latest of which is odourless, coloursless and deadly. In spite of potential dangers, some Icelandic people dared to walk up on the glacier to take close-up videos and photos of erupting Fimmvorduhals Volcano and that's how the video found above was captured.
Authorities have postponed planned opening of the Thorsmork road due to increased lava flow in Hvanna however local business owners are hoping the eruptions will continue. As it turns out, the activity of Fimmvorduhals Volcano has attracted a whole plethora of tourists looking for adventure like no other – experiencing live volcano during eruption. Hotels in the proximity of Fimmvorduhals Volcano are booked solid, establishments with view of the volcano are getting sold out and touring packages offering helicopter flights over Fimmvorduhals are seeing endless interest from foreigners and Icelanders alike. This is exactly what Iceland needed after that unfortunate currency collapse following near bankruptcy of the country. Funny how luck can come out of misfortune.
The last recorded eruption in Iceland prior to Fimmvorduhals Volcano took place in 2004, however the last time lava spewed out of the Earth's core in the neighborhood of the Eyjafjallajoekull glacier, it was the year of 1823.

Fall of the Bolsheviks: opinions?
What do you think of my [so far short] alternate history(that I hope to post later on in the finished timeline section) "Fall of the Bolsheviks"
In it(and its not fully fleshed out this is just an idea), Lenin suffers a almost completely random and fatal heart attack, sucking the Bolsheviks of much of their influence and stunning the Central Committee. Trotsky is forced to take the reigns abruptly, yet proves completely incompetent and he himself is reeling from the loss of Lenin. continuing the harsh policies(only much harsher this time), and dealing with ferocious attacks by Kerensky's forces, the Bolsheviks cave into moderate socialist demands to create a multiparty socialist state amid civil war in Petrograd, saving democracy at the last minute.
Braving the storm of civil war, the Moderates, led by an SR majority, the story kicks off from there, detailing the civil war and the curtailing of the harsh and autocratic measures by the Bolsheviks.
here it is:
Famously, on 24 October the Bolsheviks were to seize power from the much loathed Provisional Government, where in Petrograd the Winter Palace, under light guard at the time, was seized suddenly and seemingly without warning. This nation shattering event was to later become known around the world as the October Revolution.
Wrapped in myth, it was said that Lenin led the people en mass on a grand assault on the Winter Palace, braving every obstacle against them. This could not be further from the truth. In actuality, only a small band of Bolsheviks loyal to Lenin were to stage the seizure of the Winter Palace, which for propaganda purposes was to be exploited heavily.
Toppled so suddenly from power, Kerensky managed to flee to the front line in search of soldiers to organize resistance, effectively leaving the country of Russia leaderless. In the meantime, the Bolsheviks were busy organizing a resistance of their own, with the formation of the MRC, or Military Revolutionary Committee of the Petrograd Soviet. Weapons and ammunition were distributed to Bolshevik supporters, while troops were put under MRC control. This would mark one of the most chaotic periods of Russian history.
Part One: Uprising
...A rising of the masses needs no justification ...Go Where You Belong-into the dustbin of history. With these words Trotsky dismissed Iulii Martov, the leader of the Menshevik-Internationalists, at the Congress of the Soviets. Thus this signified the end of moderate socialist power amongst the Soviets.
From then on, The Bolsheviks would be on the rise, waging a brutal civil war against Russian reactionaries spearheaded by Kerensky himself nationwide. Lenin in the meantime, arousing much passion with his fiery speeches, would deliver on his promises to Peace, Land, and Bread. Decrees were issued by him that allowed for such extreme revolutionary acts as seizure of all private land, including church property and other such acts. To many, especially amongst foreigners, Karl Marx's utopian promises had come true(reluctantly or not so reluctantly depending on the person). Could it be true that the Bolsheviks were actually creating a socialist state? Was the end of capitalism nigh?
These questions could not be so far from the minds of the inhabitants of Petrograd, who soon got caught up in a massive revolutionary uprising. It was not soon before Kerensky came back with a vengeance. Kadets, right and centrist Mensheviks, as well as SR's all viewed the revolutionary overthrow of the Provisional Government as an act of treason, and thus rallied around the creation of the All-Russian Committee for Salvation of the Homeland and Revolution, or ACS. In fact, most newspapers in Petrograd would side with the ACS, so much so that the Bolsheviks proceeded to shut down all opposition newspaper presses. Lenin decreed that they[the opposition newspapers], some of which called for the overthrow of the Bolshevik government, were No less dangerous than bombs and machine guns.
on the 29 of October, Kerensky made preparations to stage a daring rebellion from within Petrograd itself, to make way for a military invasion of the city, led by Krasnov. However, soon his plans were leaked, yet Russians loyal to Kerensky would try anyway, all of whom were either killed or arrested.
Petrograd was now under martial law following the failed rebellion, under the direct authority of the MRC. The truth of the matter was that the Bolsheviks would not go down without a fight. It was their revolution, and they would not allow the fruits of the revolution to be destroyed. No, their revolution would have to be drowned in blood before they surrendered to Kerensky's forces.
Amid all the chaos of civil war, their were those in Petrograd of large importance who still sought to oppose the Bolsheviks and create a multiparty socialist government under the authority of the Soviets. Chief among these was Boris Kamkov, a Left SR, who pushed in his newspaper for the creation of a homogeneous revolutionary government composed of representatives of all socialist parties. Thus, all hope was not lost.
Beneath the Crimson Banner: A Timeline
Gotta admit love the OP!
I replied on a thread about Tainted Communism about this very issue.
I'd have loved nothing more than what happened as you described.
The problem was that Kerensky's government consisted of a very uneasy alliance between tsarist apparatchiki, Kadet and SD politicians that were viewed even by their supporters as sellouts, even more by the SR's, Mensheviki, and other radical elements that were pissed that the Duma wasn't more meaningful or competent than it was, plus you had numerous opportunists doing their best to keep the government ineffectual and thus easily profiteered from in the chaos that made it an unholy muddle.
Lenin was the lightning rod that managed to get the more radical leftists to quit supporting the government and join (or at least not oppose) the Bolshevik movement.
He wasn't the only person worth listening to, just the guy shouting loudest with the clearest plan and that made people who felt the need to Do Something more comfortable jumping on the Bolshevik bandwagon.
The Okhrana, Cossack hosts, and police could have wrapped the Bolshies in an afternoon but didn't have clear instructions on how to deal with Lenin and made the situation worse when they violated orders mowing down the marchers on the Winter Palace.
Kerensky shrank from using them b/c it would betray his democratic ideals, plus what was the harm of another evangelistic hustler hawking solutions for Russian salvation? There were thousands on the streets of St. Petersburg as it was peddling nostrums political, spiritual, what have you.
What you're asking for is the sympathetic Russian radicals to revolt after Lenin's crew seizes power and that's really, really bad. The Bolshies didn't give a tinker's fart about legitimacy or playing nice. Their job was to make the worker's paradise happen by any means necessary.
Nobody opposing them really was ready to sacrifice everything until it was too late and the Bolshevist state was happy to oblige them. As it was the Russian Civil War went on for four acknowledged years.
The main reasons the Whites lost was threefold:
(A) Official government had completely lost all legitimacy with the Russian people. It was neither the full Tsarist state ready to squash all opposition and keep everyone "safe"nor was it a truly constitutional republic they felt responsible for defending. Kerensky having full confidence and command of the official government is nearly ASB. So are the SR's and Mensheviks rising up to restore the Kadet government.
(B) The White generals who fought the Reds did so as rogue warlords, not as a unified command with a common mission. They didn't exactly endear themselves to the local populations as they rode through requisitioning food, supplies, women, even drafting men into the army as they moved through the countryside like locusts but were low-morale makeshift units that got savaged in stand-up fights by better-motivated red militias and Red Army units.
The Imperial Russian Army wasn't exactly a model of efficiency and professionalism in its salad days, much less after four years of getting pwned in Eastern Europe by German and Austrian units.
It had good people and didn't always suck, but was an unholy mess wracked by corruption, desertion, and incompetence, not to mention abysmal logistic support and coordination among senior generals.
By 1917, it was a sorry shambles of the Russian Army that had left to cheers and pealing church bells in 1914 for reasons of its own, partially b/c the Russian government was broke due to the French and German loans that usually funded Russian government expenses in lieu of sane taxation evaporated and didn't get floated near the American credit the UK and France enjoyed throughout the war. There was nobody in Russia coordinating agricultural or industrial policy nor was much of a war plan really developed beyong mobilize for show of force and hope everyone's home by Rozhdestvo (Christmas).
(C) The leftist opposition to the Provisional Government as I said was fatally split between pro-Bolshevik and anti-Bolshevik factions as well as numerous intramural squabbles. Asking them to drop their dearest passion to oppose the one faction doing something is near ASB.
Most everyone thought Lenin was a crank and didn't take him seriously, living the good life as an exile in Switzerland while everyone else sweated a visit from the Okhrana, being sent to Siberia, or getting swept up in the army to be cannon fodder and hearing about the horrors back home.
When he showed up though, he stayed on message and in the government's face. You didn't have to guess what his agenda was. He put it out there. The government's financially, morally bankrupt, incompetent, and doomed Russia to failure. The Russian masses deserve better. Together we can seize the moment. All power to the soviets (councils of local people you know and elect and can hold accountable).
Russia used to have a robust local democratic councils called zemstvo that got progressively made irrelevant as the tsar became more insistent on being the only game in town. People liked the idea so the idea of soviets being the new wrinkle on that old idea was hardly a tough sell.
You'd need somebody to emerge as a leader everyone trusted or at least could agree to follow articulating something simple and sane folks could sign on with as making Russia work better and possibly butterfly the Bolshevik movement as a whole.
There's numerous unsung Russian leaders who could have capably opposed Bolshevik terror and tyranny who died early, got co-opted by the Bolsheviks and died later in the purges of the 30's, or fled the scene long before.
