I must note that every time I read "Walk it Out," I think of the rap song of the same name by Unk, where he calls out different neighborhoods. Seedy walk it out! would be the cry here, although this picnic turned a bit too upscale for my hood's nickname.
Picnic spot: Prentis I. Frazier Park, 401 24th Ave. E., Central District
Picnic Supplies: One loaf of Focaccia, a bunch of organic green grapes, one d'anjou pear, a small container of "unchicken" salad, one spanikopita and six veggie pakoras from the deli, a bag of Pirate's Booty, two vegan caramel "bites," one Mandarin Lime soda and one gigantic water. Total tab: $19.74. Madison Market/Central Co-Op, 1600 E. Madison St.
Walking It Out: For this year's summer trip to Seattle, my Mom wanted to "sit outside at a pub and drink ale," a request I have no problem fulfilling, special occasion or not. But the string of crappy, gray days this past week diminished our opportunities for drinking and dining al fresco. Yesterday, though, was gorgeous, and the little park we found near my house in the Central District turned out to be the perfect spot for a picnic.
We picked up our grub at Madison Market, backtracking a bit in regards to our final destination. Philadelphia Fevre would've been the logical stop on the way, but I couldn't fathom eating a melty cheese steak in the heat. And let me not talk about the Safeway deli sandwich, which I only eat in secret (or desperation). The aesthetic experience of lazing in Seattle's more pristine parks deserves something a little fancier—even if that just means your grapes look extra plump and juicy.
And that's exactly what the Co-Op is for. It's hard not to have a little orgasm standing among the produce there. Having just visited my favorite Co-Op in the world, in Mount Vernon, MM's deli stood up to my expectations, which correlate with the prices. If I'm going to pay $7.99 a pound for fake chicken salad, it better taste pretty fantastic! There was no method to our madness, as we grabbed little bits of whatever looked appealing. I also believe that no trip to MM is complete without some Pirate's Booty. It didn't look like a lot of food for $20, but I think we made out like bandits.Taking a left down 24th from Madison, a few blocks of gorgeous homes greet you, many with ridiculous rosebush explosions out front. Then the tiny, shaded park with a basketball court, play area, and one picnic table appears. Some history on the Parks and Recreation Website reveals that this one is named "after the successful businessman and community newspaper publisher who helped develop African American businesses in Seattle." He arrived in town in 1916 and always lived in the Central District. In a Historylink essay, it was interesting to read that while his neighbors suggested naming the park (which was behind his house) after him, it took until 16 years after his death for that to happen.
The only company we encountered in about three hours in the park were a few people meandering through with their dogs, and one lost woman, who shared some of our grapes. The spanikopita tasted like spanikopita and the pakoras did taste fantastic. We quickly got used to the texture of the fake chicken salad, made with tempeh, and devoured it. Finishing things off with a bite of caramel, which had melted in the sun, we ended the picnic on a perfect note: by falling asleep.

Anyone else feel like they found out kinda soon and are more nervous about this one then the last?

Green Giant Announces "Giant Difference Campaign" Aimed At Diet Cheaters
MINNEAPOLIS, Sept. 19, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Have you ever thought about eating vegetables as a delicious way to cheat on your diet? You might now. A new survey commissioned by Green Giant found that one in five Americans are currently on a diet, yet 34 percent view dieting as stressful and dieters are likely to be hungry more than half of the time when watching what they eat. This may lead to cheating – four in ten Americans would cheat on a diet at least daily! To address this issue, Green Giant launched a new campaign to help those wanting to lose weight and turn the tables about how they think about vegetables. The brand is partnering with Dr. Venus Nicolino, better known as Dr. V, from the hit Bravo TV show "L.A. Shrinks," to coach a handful of diet cheaters as they try to kick their annoying diet cheating habits to the curb. (Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20130919/NY82669 )Dr. V and Green GiantThe cheating therapy portion of the campaign kicks off on September 24, 2013 and runs through October 22, 2013. Green Giant will chronicle the journey of 10 women who each have a quirky diet cheating habit as they blog each week about the progress they make with the help of life consultant and relationship coach, Dr. V. Known for her straight-forward manner and her sass, Dr. V will provide advice, encouragement and homework each week. The goal of the program will be to help each woman's relationship with dieting get back on track so they can feel good about cheating—when it's with vegetables. "Dieting is an emotional process full of restrictions, so cheating on your diet often means there's something you need to get more of," said Dr. V. "I'm looking forward to working with these women to figure out what's really driving their cheating impulses, and how eating more Green Giant vegetables can help."

i know you could get a pos from walmart
The problems with integrated headsets don't apply to bmxs a great deal, for starters our frames are typicaly steel and secondly our forks steerer tubes don't flex that much.

Oohh yeah, no it's not carbon fiber.
Personally, I would get a Macneil frame, but that's just because my first BMX bike was a Schwinn and that was back when Jay Miron was still riding for them.
Fine, I guess everyones out of ideas. It's a Grim Reaper, except it's 100% Ti! It's crazy.

HSP90 Inhibitor, AUY922, in Patients With Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (Post-PV MF), Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (Post-ET MF), and Refractory PV/ET

The purpose of this study is to test a new drug called AUY922. AUY922 is not FDA-approved. AUY922 is a new kind of drug that attacks a protein called HSP90. HSP90 is found in both normal and cancer cells, but the investigators think it is more important in cancer cells.
This study will see if AUY922 helps people with myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. This study will also see if AUY922 is safe in people with myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera. It will find out what effects, good and/or bad, AUY922 has on the patient and the disease. The researchers hope that this study will help them to find better treatments for primary myelofibrosis, essential thrombocythemia and polycythemia vera.
Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
Drug: AUY922
Phase 2
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Endpoint Classification: Safety/Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Single Group Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Treatment
|Official Title:
|A Phase II Study of the HSP90 Inhibitor, AUY922, in Patients With Primary Myelofibrosis (PMF), Post-Polycythemia Vera Myelofibrosis (Post-PV MF), Post-Essential Thrombocythemia Myelofibrosis (Post-ET MF), and Refractory PV/ET
- efficacy [ Time Frame: 6 months ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary endpoint is overall response rate defined as the rate of complete response, partial response and clinical improvement by six months.
- safety [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: Yes ]and tolerability of AUY922 in patients with myeloproliferative neoplasms. Adverse events will be assessed according to the Common Toxicity Criteria for Adverse Events (CTCAE) version 4.02.
- pharmacodynamics of AUY922 [ Time Frame: 1 year ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]via measurement of Hsp90, downstream targets of JAK2 (P-STAT3, P-STAT5, P-MAPK), client proteins of Hsp90 (AKT, Raf-1, EGFR, and HER2) by Western blot and flow cytometry. These will be serially compared from the evaluation at baseline. Peripheral blood and bone marrow aspirate samples from pretreatment and post-treatment will be assessed for the above proteins to assess the on-target effect of the AUY922.

Yesterday, Altura sous chef Tiffany Boroughs relished in learning from the best to marrying Northwest ingredients with Italian cuisine. Today, she provides a recipe with an Italian twist. Boroughs also offers vegetarian friendly substitutions. "I like to make it with chicken stock just so that it has a little body to it, but it can be made with vegetable stock or even just water," said Boroughs. Her Turnip and Verjus soup with Turnip Agrodolce and Turnip Greens "Pesto" uses all parts of the turnip from leaf to root, a surefire way to appreciate an underrated tuber. Iron Chef, anyone?
Photo provided by Tiffany Boroughs
3 cups baby white turnips (with greens) about 2 bunches, peeled, quartered. Remove, wash, and reserve greens
1 small Yukon Gold potato, large dice
1 large shallot, sliced
2 Tbls butter or Extra Virgin olive oil for cooking
3 cups chicken stock, vegetable stock or water
1 tsp kosher salt or to taste
1/4 C Verjus (Fusion Verjus Rouge is a good brand)
2 Tbls butter for blending (Notes: Yogurt can be substituted for butter)
In a medium saucepot, sweat shallots in butter or olive oil on medium heat. Season with kosher salt. Continue to sweat without browning until tender, about five minutes.
Add the diced potato and continue to sweat another five minutes.
Add the quartered turnips and chicken stock. Bring to a simmer and cook until potatoes and turnips are tender, about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. While still warm, blend the mixture with Verjus and remaining 2 tablespoons butter until very smooth, about 45 seconds.
Pass through a chinois, or fine mesh sieve.
Check seasoning for salt.
Turnip Agrodolce
6 baby white turnips (about one bunch), peeled and cut into 6 wedges, greens removed and reserved for other recipes
1 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive oil
1/4 C Banyuls, red wine or champagne vinegar
1/4 C granulated sugar
1/4 tsp kosher salt
Pinch freshly ground black pepper
1 Tbsp butter
In a medium saute pan on medium high heat, add olive oil and coat pan evenly.
Add turnips and season with salt and black pepper.
Toss the turnips in the hot olive oil, then let them cook without stirring, to brown on one side, 4-5 minutes.
Add butter and after it melts and browns, toss the turnips and turn the heat down to medium.
Dust the turnips and the pan with the sugar, letting it cook in the butter for about one minute, being sure not to let it burn. You want a layer of caramelized turnip and sugar on the pan.
Add the vinegar and using a wooden spoon, scrape the caramelized bits off the pan, dissolving them in the vinegar. If it becomes too reduced, add a ladle of water.
Let the turnips simmer until the sauce is reduced, glazing the turnips.
This can be kept at room temperature until needed.
Roasted Turnip Green "Pesto"
1-2 bunch turnip greens, washed, dried and cut in half
2 Tbls Extra Virgin Olive oil
Kosher salt, black pepper
1 clove garlic, sliced
1/4 C parsley
Pinch red pepper flake
Zest of 1 lemon, microplaned
1/4 C Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Optional: 1 anchovy fillet
Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
Meanwhile, lay turnip greens and sliced garlic on a sheet tray and drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, 2 pinches kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper.
Toss the greens and garlic until coated.
Roast in the oven until greens begin to sizzle and brown, about 5 minutes. Stir and continue to cook another 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature.
On a large cutting board, chop together the greens, parsley, chili flake, lemon zest (and optional anchovy fillet) until fine and resembles a pesto consistency.
Scoop into a small bowl and cover with 1/4 cup of Extra Virgin olive oil. Stir and check seasoning for salt.
To plate:
Garnish soup with a dollop of agrodolce, turnip green pesto, and toasted breadcrumbs. Enjoy!

Have a Keynote presentation done on Mac, transferred to iPad mini, all is perfect. Coworker opens same presentation on iPad retina, tons of reflow. Helvetica used to avoid this. Anyone else with suggestions of what it could be? It should technically be fine from one iPad to another.
You should ask the folk in the iPad discussion about this as its a specific issue with the iPad.
Non Mac related issues usually get little response here.

For folks with slightly older (2009-2010) this might not be an option. It doesn't look like I can upgrade. In proper Apple style, they only really support patching the current version of OSX and the previous version. For me, I'm on Leopard on one machine, Lion on another, and Mountain Lion every where else. I can't say if it was really fixed on Mountain Lion as I've seen mixed results based on what the machine administrator was trying to do. (e.g. Web Filtering vs. Application Access to network interfaces vs. time quotas, etc.) I honestly gave up and used an alternative approach. I use time quotas successfully on all versions; I use OpenDNS for content filtering; I use Intego's Family Protector bundle for app auditing and intrusion protection; I Apple's application controls to keep the kids from using certain apps (personal financial software); and I have everyone set up with their own account. Oh... and I have a wifi router that that emails me a daily log.

I've been experiencing the same problem with my son's account on the mac. He is a good kid, abd I pray that I am not doing something that will affect him, but I am going to remove parental controls. This is completely ridiculous - what a wasted feature.
Mac is completely slipping in quality, it is like what happened to intuit in the late 90s early 2000/s, Software getting too complex, people not as smart - trying to grow too much, being driven by Wall Street and not original vision of "it just works."
Bad software plain and simple. I mean... really... look at my username... LOL... the discussions don't even work, Each time I picked a username, the system would tell me that username was available, then I would click submit and it would tell me the username was already taken ... huh? Really?
Bad software - all around. I have a MacBookPro that I have win8 on bootcamp - much preferred. I wanted to like Mac, but can't get the vibe.

I have never used parental controls before but my 13 year old sold his computer and needs to use mine for some online classes. He likes to fiddle with settings so I set him up with with a restricted acount so that he didn't inadvertently mess with my machine. His mum is a big fan of controls too, so everything was good, untill a recent upgrade to 10.8.5. Safari now blocks the course website but no message appears. Instead, safari just freezes in fetch mode. Chrome allows connection but freezes from time to time. I had the computer set to allow unrestricted web access so the only thing I lose by removing parental controls, is a log of his web activity but I will have to live with it. Parental controls now make web use pretty much impossible, exept in an extremely limited sense. As there were no messages at all, it took me a while to work all this out and I am annoyed at Apple for being so cavalier in it's attitude to users' experiences. I suppose that I will change to Maverics one day and revisit the issue if I can be bothered.

Has anyone found a workaround for this problem yet? I bought an iMac to show my daughter how much nicer a mac is to use rather than a Windows 8 PC, well that idea backfired, as the iMac is just seen as 'the annoying computer' by her now. The https/Parental Controls thing needs fixing - Apple you're losing fans fast and not getting any new ones while this problem persists.

I'm having the issue with Mavericks (10.9.1). Found this on a cnet site (http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-57523360-263/fixing-parental-controls-probl em-in-os-x-10.8.2/) and it appears to work:
1. log in to an administrator account
2. go to the Macintosh HD/Library/Managed Preferences/ folder
3. open the folder for the managed user with the problem
4. removed the "com.apple.familycontrols.contentfilter.plist" file (I put a copy on the desktop, deleted the copy in this folder, in case this did not work)
5. log out of admin account
6. log back in to the restricted account
Problem (so far) appears to be gone.

The Permit That Never Expires
"Anyone who wants to understand Mexican immigration should read this book -- and it's a gripping read, for Garrison is at once stylish, unusually perceptive, wryly humorous, and, above all, both compassionate and deeply knowledgeable. This is an astonishingly original and important work."
"Philip Garrison once again emerges as the ultimate coyote. No other author has proven as tenacious or as fearless or as open to startling invention in leading us across the desert of our nation's failure to imagine the migrant/immigrant flux from Mexico as anything but an unsolvable problem."
Because I Don't Have Wings
"A book that would be vital and germane even if there weren't major debates going on about immigrant rights is Central Washington University emeritus professor Philip Garrison's eloquent Because I Don't Have Wings: Stories of Immigrant Life (University of Arizona). Underlying this account of the lives of Mexican workers doing agricultural work in the Inland Northwest is over thirty years' work on Philip Garrison's part, researching both here and in Mexico. His commitment is further manifested in his being a cofounder of APOYO, a grassroots nonprofit that works on behalf of central Washington's mexicano communities. "In these exquisite essays somewhere between lyrics and odes -- Philip Garrison maps out the new borderlands. . . . Weaving together both testimonio and text, history and his own experience, Because I Don't Have Wings leads both mexicano and Americano towards an encounter neither counted upon. . . . Garrison is a mestizo's mestizo, a literary coyote who smuggles us across not just one but many lines."
"This book is stong and bold . . . and undeniably strange. The details of lives played out in the shadows are surreal, sometimes haunting, often deeply moving. It's an eye-opener that all Americans should read."
"In this brilliant , original, and astonishingly intimate book, Garrison eloquently shows us that borders are not always where we think they are. Every page is both a pleasure and a surprise."
For Mexican workers, the agricultural valleys of the Inland Northwest are a long way from home. But there they have established communities, settlements recent enough that it feels like these newly arrived immigrant mexicanos are pioneers, still getting used to the Anglos and to each other.
Written with irony but bursting with compassion, Because I Don't Have Wings features vivid characters, telling anecdoes, and poignant reflecions on life, unfolding an immigrant's world strikingly different from the one we usually read about. Adaptation, persistence, and survival, we learn, are traits that mexicano culture values. We also learn that, over time, mexicano immigrants don't merely adapt to the culture of el norte, they transform it.
Waiting for the Earth to urn Over: Identity and the Late-Twentieth-Century American West
"Waiting for the Earth to Turn Over is Philip Garrison's graceful account of his slow accumulation of identity in the North American west, and reveals how the dance we learn while we are waiting for the earth to turn over is inextricably connected to our experiences in (and memories of) the landscapes we inhabit. From childhood stories set on the banks of the Mississippi to adult experiences in such places as Honduras, Mexico City, and the Pacific Northwest, provides fresh perspectives on how the myths rooted in a specific landscape inform our thinking about the land and about ourselves. Enlightening us with fresh perspective on well-known elements of the mythic West, entertaining us with anecdotes of the post-Cold War West, Garrison reveals how history, memory and identity are interwoven as he shows us the remarkable landscape of the American West in a light both new to us and very, very old. Waiting for the Earth to Turn Over is an engaging, challenging, unusual, informative, insightful, thoughtful, reflective and one of the most memorable presentation. Highly recommended!"
"I yearn for the days of E.B. White, the New Yorker magazine's, and therefore the world's, premier essayist of a half-century ago.
But just when I fear I'll have to be satisfied with Garry Wills and P.J. O'Rourke, along comes Philip Garrison with Waiting for the Earth to Turn Over...
This is a lovely excursion into nooks and crannies of the American heartland's past, and other distant reaches.
Garrison recalls his college days, rock art, life in Honduras, reflections in a Missouri cemetery, and the days when buffalo wallowed on the prairie.
Fine stuff this. The essay isn't dead yet."
Portions of this book have appeared in:AWP Chronicle, Cream City Review, Creative Nonfiction, The Georgia Review, Gettysburg Review, High Plains Literary Review, Iowa Review, North American Review, Northwest Review, Southwest Review and Willow Springs
"I love Philip Garrison's essays for what they don't know. His is an essential American voice intent on exploring a geographical -- and mental -- landscape of blurred borders and vague boundaries. Like William James, Garrison believes that 'life is in the transitions,' and at the heart of Augury is a deep intellectual respect for the interrupted moment, the quirky experience, the mysterious friendship, the observations that don't add up. These are essays in the best tradition of American reflection."
"We swim in an ocean of stories, Philip Garrison reminds us. There is no other place to swim. Skeptical of easy narratives, he fashions hard ones. Never sure whether meaning can be found, he patiently hunts for it among Aztec tombs, in old newspapers, in superstitions and butterflies, in the face of his father laid out in a coffin, in the back seat of a Mexican highway patrol car, in the tales of Coyote and the search for peyote. Such a list only begins to suggest the breadth of Garrison's curiosity. Augury is proof that the peasures of reading the essay derive from and deeptn the pleasures of reading the world."

Jon Monroe
Jon Monroe (B.S. Botany 1982) is a professor of biology at James Madison University who got his start as a botany major at the University of Michigan.
"I switched to botany from the School of Natural Resources after being enthralled by Herb Wagner's Woody Plants class, and loved him in Systematics. I then spent three summers at the U-M Biological Station and was twice a TA for Boreal Flora taught by Ed Voss." We heard from Monroe in response to EEB's March 2014 enewsletter. He wrote: "To see both of them in this newsletter just made my day – thanks!"
In response to a subsequent request for his alumni news update, Monroe said, "Perhaps the most interesting and exciting thing I was involved with was a mural on our new Bioscience building. The artwork is a three-story surface view of 60 base pairs of an Arabidopsis gene (AGLU1 encoding an enzyme called alpha-glucosidase) that we sequenced back in the 90s."
The DNA sequence is from the model plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. Alongside the DNA are sketches of organisms from the earth's surface or under water (on the first floor), organisms found in a forest canopy (on the second floor), and organisms that fly (on the third floor).
One of the undergraduates who worked on the sequencing project, Alison Stephen, is now an artist working in New York City. She drew the DNA (and surrounding organisms) based on a 3-D model that Monroe generated using the specialized computer programs 3D-DART and Chimera. Stephen's drawing was digitized and printed on the same material they use to put images on the sides of trucks.
Monroe received his Ph.D. in plant physiology in 1989 from Cornell University. He was a postdoctoral research associate in the Biochemistry Department at Michigan State University prior to becoming assistant professor in the Department of Biology at James Madison University. Monroe won the JMU Distinguished Faculty Award in 2011 and the American Society of Plant Biologists Excellence in Teaching award in 2001. He initiated the Council on Undergraduate Research CUR Fellow Award in 1998 and co-initiated the ASPB Summer Undergraduate Fellowships awards in 2001.
While he initially thought that maintaining a successful research program in biology without Ph.D. students was impossible, especially with JMU's teaching loads, he said "I learned that there were many successful faculty members at colleges and universities that did wonderful work with undergraduate students. More importantly, I learned that the involvement of undergraduate students in original research was profoundly beneficial to their education." Over the years, he has mentored more than 50 undergraduate students, many who were coauthors on peer-reviewed papers, have completed honors theses, and have made presentations at national and regional meetings, winning best talk awards.

Our research group is a part of the Boston University Mechanical Engineering (ME) Department and the Photonics Center. We are also affiliated with the Division of Material Science and Engineering (MSE). Our core laboratory is located in the basement of the Photonics Center. Our research focuses on physical phenomena at the nanoscale; we are also interested in developing nanoscale devices and ultrasensitive measurement techniques for a variety of applications.
The physical phenomena, which we explore, range from fluid dynamics to photonics. Over the years, we have built considerable expertise in fabricating and operating resonant nanomechanical devices (nano-electro-mechanical systems or NEMS). In a typical experiment, we couple tiny vibrations of these nanomechanical devices to a surrounding fluid or an optical field. Through ultrasensitive measurements of the changes of these tiny vibrations, we can deduce the physical interactions between the device and the surrounding medium as well as fundamental physical behavior of the medium. Nanomechanical devices, therefore, act as probes of interesting physics at very small length scales and very short time scales. The applications we have pursued so far involve bio-molecule sensing using NEMS, designing motion transducers for nanoscale applications and ultrafast scanning probe microscopy.

Isaac Abrams, American (1939 - )

Isaac Abrams was born and raised in the New York area. He is a self-taught artist with an academic background in literature, history, science and psychology. He founded the first gallery of Psychedelic Art in the world in 1965. He began working as a self-taught painter in the beginning of 1966. He began working as a sculptor in the 1970's. He began extensive work as an animation artist in 1981. He has always painted

Abrams was the former owner of Coda Gallery. The Coda Gallery was noted for its introduction of Psychedelic Art into the mainstream of American media consciousness. Abrams studied in Austria under the tutelage of Ernst Fuchs whose school and method of painting runs in an unbroken line of students and teachers from Albrecht Durer to the present. Dr. Fuchs' techniques and artistic concepts were profoundly stimulating. Abrams remained in Vienna an additional six months.

Two Is the Magic Number
A new science of creativity.
Mirror neurons are just one brick in the broad and widening foundation of "social neuroscience." The University of Chicago's John Cacioppo, who coined the term with his colleague Gary Berntsen, has helped pioneer research that shows how social connection shapes everything from depression and anxiety to high blood pressure, obesity, and heart disease.
Drawing on evolutionary psychology, cognitive experiments, and brain scans, Cacioppo and his colleagues make a persuasive case that what we consider the "self" is in its essence social. "It sounds like an oxymoron," Cacioppo says. "But it's not. In fact, the idea that the center of our psychological universe, and even our physiological experience, is 'me'—this just fundamentally misrepresents us as a species."
It's not an accident that this new work is ascendant at a time when the Western world no longer identifies itself in opposition to collectivism, and where the Internet and social media have offered an obvious metaphor for webs of connections. "We're ready for a Copernican revolution in psychology," Cacioppo says. If it comes, the era of the self will yield to something that may be much more interesting.
The Myth of the Lone Genius
If relationships shape us so fundamentally, how—in the study of creativity—could they also be so obscure? Why are we preoccupied with the lone genius, with great men (and, more now than in the past, great women)? Evolutionary psychologists might point to how our ancestors focused on the alpha male of a pack or the headman of a tribe. But there are contemporary explanations.
For one thing, male-female acts have often kept one partner behind the curtain. The eminent psychoanalyst and social theorist Erik Erikson acknowledged that his wife of 66 years, Joan Erikson, worked with him so closely that it was hard to tell where her work left off and his began. But he drew the salary; his name went on the cover of Young Man Luther. He is among history's most famous social scientists; she doesn't even have a Wikipedia entry.
Gender relations, though, are only one cause for hidden partners. The quiet, careful member of a pair may naturally be diminished in comparison with the brash, dramatic one. Braque and Picasso created Cubism together, but the mercurial Spaniard emerged as the star of the movement while history shunted the quiet Frenchman to the side.
The custom of hidden partners is often industry standard: Tenure committees insist on judging individual work, even though collaborations are core to academic culture. CEOs have become like synecdoches for their companies, though their effectiveness depends on partners and teams. (Could Steve Jobs have reinvented Apple without his design guru Jonathan Ive?)
To illustrate the consistently hidden partner with an obvious example:Book editors don't put their names on covers. Their reputation largely depends on authors—who can be notoriously ungrateful and committed to the idea of their solitary genius. Jack Kerouac's On the Road sat on slush piles all around Manhattan until Malcolm Cowley, then an editor at Viking, undertook the laborious effort (literary, political, emotional) of shaping it for publication. But afterward, Kerouac and the Beats portrayed Cowley as a villain who muddied the famous unbroken typescript, which they claimed was powered by Benzedrine and holy light.
Even when a creative partnership is inescapable, principals may resist acknowledging its influence. Maxwell Perkins, the great editor who discovered and shaped the works of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway, also made magic with Thomas Wolfe. Their collaboration made Wolfe's sprawling manuscripts into the epic novels Look Homeward Angeland Of Time and the River.
At first, Wolfe praised his partner, comparing his role in Of Time and the River to "a man who is trying to hang onto the fin of a plunging whale." Maxwell's tenacity, Wolfe said, gave him his "final release." The irony is that just such exuberant acknowledgments helped fuel a major critic's charge, in the Saturday Review, that the author's "incompleteness" could be seen in "the most flagrant evidence" that "one indispensable part of the artist has existed not in Mr. Wolfe but in Maxwell Perkins."
Wolfe was apoplectic at the criticism, but he accepted the premise. He raged at the idea that he couldn't "perform these functions as an artist for myself."As Fitzgerald declared, the test of a first-rate mind is the ability to hold two opposing ideas without cracking up. Apparently Thomas Wolfe could not grasp the paradox that he was both a complete artist and a dependent partner. Perkins, meanwhile, insistently diminished his role. "Editors aren't much," he wrote, "and can't be. They can only help a writer realize himself." This statement way underplays his role, but would be odd even if accurate. Only help a writer realize himself? That's like saying the legs only support the torso.
The other reason the lone genius myth persists is that "collaboration" gets defined so narrowly, as though the only relationships that matter are between peers of roughly equal power. In fact, it is often the most independent virtuosos who need relationships the most. Take golf, for example. By PGA tour rules, professional golfers play the links without coaches or managers. So the role of psychologist, strategist, and counselor falls to the caddie. Tiger Woods, now infamous for his promiscuity, has stuck for nearly 11 years with caddy Steve Williams. Their bond is so tight that Williams not only supports his boss but taunts him—and even misleads him. At the 2000 PGA Championship, on the fairway of the 71st hole, Woods needed a birdie to catch the leader. Williams calculated 95 yards to the flag—but he told Woods 90. "Tiger's distance control was a problem," Williams explained to Golf magazine. "So I would adjust yardages and not tell him." Woods ended up hitting the ball inside two feet from the cup and went on to win. Williams has said that he gave Woods incorrect yardages for the better part of five years.
If you don't know golf intimately, you'd never consider the caddie relationship. Same goes for many fields. With surgeons, who thinks of the indispensable nurse? Few outside the film industry pay attention to the director of photography, but insiders know that Wes Anderson's aesthetic is shaped in large part by Robert Yeoman. The architect Frank Gehry leans heavily on his deputy, Craig Webb.

Patch also includes a bit of defensive coding by adding an if(validationMethod == null).
Given that the methods it calls are all defensive and private, it's not needed. Dunno if it's worth adding -
doesn't seem like it can hurt.
Typical POST then DOH moment. Extra defensive coding stops the synchronized block being entered all
the time.
Playing at writing a unit test for this - I'm interested in whether this fixes a bug in a previous release or
just improves the code. Can't have a JUnit class implement Runnable it seems, so bit more code needed
Takayuki - does anything bad happen when it's not synchronized? Did you have an exception
(NullPointerException?), or is this a case of seeing an improvement by looking at the source?
When I look at the three load method calls, nothing jumps out as likely to break even when running as
non-threadsafe, but obviously can't have any real idea on that without testing
Yes, I had an exception related this issue. Here is an exception below.

This exception wasn't occured when I accessed with browser. It was occured under

So, I can't attach the unit test code.
In my opiniton, the three load methods needs synchronization.
I modified the code with this patch and ran the load tests. Any exception wasn't
You are right. "if (validationMethod == null)" is added for performance.
I understood that the goal of three load methods was preparing validationMethod
variable, right?
I want to remove unnecessary synchronization after preparing validationMethod.
The Exception you posted is a bit weird, but I'm new to Validator so maybe it
screwed the output up. It's not possible to see what the actual error it hits is.
Not that I don't think this should be applied - it makes sense to me and adding
the if/synchronized statements don't break any existing unit tests.
Following that up, really interested in seeing the non-messed up Exception. I
still don't see what the code might be falling over on.
It is difficult to explain the multi-threading issue.
But I'm going to try!
It's my understanding that exception was occured under the following procedure.
1) Both thread-A and thread-B have reached at line 663 of ValidatorAction.
Because this block doesn't be protected by synchronization.

664: this.parameterClasses = new Class[this.methodParameterList.size()];
2) thread-A has reached at line 621 of ValidatorAction.
617: private void loadValidationMethod() throws ValidatorException {
618: if (this.validationMethod != null)
622: try
catch (NoSuchMethodException e){ 627: throw new ValidatorException(e.getMessage()); 628: }
3) thread-B has executed line 664. Then, parameterClasses variable has been
4) thread-A has executed line 624. Then, NoSuchMethodException was occured.
After that, ValidatorException was throwed at line 627.
Your description doesn't explain why an exception would be thrown, though. Yes,
in step 4, thread-A will be using the parameterClasses value that was set by
thread-B in step 3, but so what? That's not going to hurt anything.
We really do need to see an accurate stack trace. The one you have posted is
actually not possible. There is no way that loadValidationMethod is going to
call FieldChecks.validateId, which is what your stack trace shows. The trace
also shows that the real problem is happening in what is presumably your own
code - the package name is com.example.validator, which isn't part of Commons
In step 3, thread-B initialized parameterClasses as an array of null.
Then in step 4, thread-A couldn't find validateId method because
parameterClasses was incorrect.
If you thought that this problem was depends on the configuration, I say "No".
Like I said, this exception didn't occur when I accessed with a browser.
In other words, configuration was correct and this problem didn't occur
when ValidatorAction was accessed by single thread.
I putted a whole stack trace. The information was chipped off at line 627.
But we can suppose the real reason by followings.
A) ValidatorException was thrown because NoSuchMethodException was catched at
line 626.
B) NoSuchMethodException was thrown because parameterClasses was incorrect.
We can see it in the stack trace.
"FieldChecks.validateId(java.lang.Object, null, null, null, null, null)"
OK, I get it now. But rather than take the performance hit of synchronising this
chunk of code, it would be simpler and faster to just use a local variable
inside of the loadParameterClasses method, until all the parameter classes have
been loaded, and then assign that to this.parameterClasses. The problem is
happening because we are directly assigning to the member variable before the
array has been initialised.
I'm glad that you got it.
I considered whether I can make the synchronizatioin block would be smaller.
But I want to keep it simple, so I added an "if (validationMethod == null)".
I believe that this change is advisability because synchronization won't be used
after validationMethod is prepared.
Fixed in the 2006-05-04 nightly build.
I've done both. That is, applied the suggested patch as well as used a local
variable until the parameter classes are initialised.
Re-openned and the set to "Resolved Fixed" again to correct "resolution" which was lost in Bugzilla --> JIRA conversion
