Northside Achievement Zone gets mid-term report card
By Isaac Peterson
Contributing Writer
Almost three years ago, the Spokesman-Recorder reported on the origins and mission of the Northside Achievement Zone, or NAZ, which was described as "a $28 million social experiment" whose goal was "increasing educational outcomes so that kids and families have opportunities that they can point to" over the following five years. ("Northside Achievement Zone envisions a 'tipping-point' of success," MSR February 22, 2012)
The NAZ is focused in an area on the Northside that is 18 blocks by 13 blocks and runs from Penn Avenue east to Interstate 94, and Broadway Avenue north to 35th Avenue. The Wilder Foundation earlier this month released a report card on NAZ's 2014 performance and gave it an overall good grade, but the report also highlighted areas that need improvement. The key finding of the Wilder report was that the longer children in grades 3-5 were in the NAZ program, the more their scores on the Minnesota Comprehensive Assessment (MCA) improved. The report noted that NAZ was on track in that area. Continue Reading →

Hiring, retaining more teachers of color urged by MPS superintendent
Some see 'bold leadership' in her proposals prior to union negotiations
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Minneapolis Public Schools (MPS) Superintendent Dr. Bernadeia Johnson is asking the community to support her new district priorities that "will be a significant, real and challenging shift for our schools and students."
A key component of this shift that Johnson impassionedly unveiled May 13 at Hennepin Country Central Library in downtown Minneapolis is establishing "an innovative partnership zone."
"Schools will own critical decisions, like hiring the people that best match the needs of students," explained Johnson, who noted that separate contracts will be arranged with the teachers at these schools, which the district will identify during the 2013-14 school year and begin implementing in 2014-15. Other key components include:
• Recruiting and hiring more Black teachers and other teachers of color: "Our youth must see themselves reflected in the adults who are working with them on a daily basis," Johnson said. "We need more quality teachers and staff members who look like the students they serve."
• Extending the school day, and partnering with local businesses and community groups "for extended and wrap-around services… We want our schools to become community hubs that are open to learners of all ages and whose lives call for educational opportunities beyond the school day…" stated Johnson. Northside Achievement Zone head Sondra Samuels and Harvest Prep School President Eric Mahmoud were among the estimated 250 persons who attended the May 13 invitation-only meeting. Both spoke approvingly of Johnson's plans after the presentation. Continue Reading →

Chasing the tornado money
By Charles Hallman
Staff Writer
Jerry Freeman
Senior Editor
Almost immediately after the tornado struck North Minneapolis in May 2011, the Minneapolis Foundation established its Minnesota Helps Fund and raised $1,756,060 to assist Northside residents. Many other groups and organizations furthered the cause with food drives and fundraising events. On July 14, MSR began a series of stories called "Chasing the Tornado Money" with the following subhead: "Community individuals, local corporations and foundations have contributed well over a million dollars in donations, grants and matching funds to assist North Minneapolis residents affected by the May 22 tornado. Responding to questions from readers about where all these dollars are going, the Minnesota Spokesman-Recorder decided to provide a community service by reporting, in the interest of transparency, on just where the funds have gone and how they have been used."
One year and several "Chasing the Tornado Money" stories later, the MSR interviews three individuals representing three major contributors to the recovery effort — the foundation, the participating community organizations, and the Northside Community Response Team — on how they now view the work completed and the relief provided to storm victims through funds totaling more than $2 million.
The Foundation
"Our fundraising efforts were really concentrated on the first year [of the recovery]," reports Minneapolis Foundation Grantmaking and Special Projects Director Jo-Anne Stately. Continue Reading →

Northside Achievement Zone envisions a 'tipping-point' of success
By Vickie Evans-Nash
Contributing Writer
Over the next five years, just over 1,000 families in an 18-by-13-block area of North Minneapolis will be participating in a $28 million social experiment. What is at stake is much more than money; what is at stake is the future of these families' 3,000 children, and perhaps, insofar as it could become a model for other such efforts, the futures of countless more families and children. It started with Michelle Martin and Minneapolis City Council Member Don Samuels founding the Peace Foundation in 2003. Martin served as the organization's original executive director. The Peace Foundation's mission was to combat violence in North Minneapolis by first determining what was causing higher crime rates. Continue Reading →

Contract for Student Achievement can transform our public schools
Today the Black community has an opportunity to take real leadership in ending our cities' persistent educational crisis. We have an opportunity to change the game by impacting the negotiations that are currently happening between the Minneapolis Public School District and the Minneapolis Federation of Teachers (MFT). We can do this by individually and collectively raising our voices in support of the Contract for Student Achievement (CSA). CSA is a manifesto created by active parents, citizens and stakeholders. It calls on the district administration and MFT to "negotiate a different kind of contract — one that recognizes the academic crisis in our schools and makes student achievement the top focus."
As stated in the CSA, "The teachers' contract currently being negotiated represents almost $240 million in annual wages and benefits and directly controls who is teaching our children in the classroom. Continue Reading →

For example, an investment of $500,000 today is expected to return $100,000 of cash each year for 10 years. The $500,000 being spent today is already a present value, so no discounting is necessary for this amount. However, the future cash receipts of $100,000 for 10 years need to be discounted to their present value. Let's assume that the receipts are discounted by 14% (the company's required return). This will mean that the present value of the those future receipts will be approximately $522,000. The $522,000 of present value coming in is compared to the $500,000 of present value going out. The result is a net present value of $22,000 coming in.
Investments with a positive net present value would be acceptable. Investments with a negative net present value would be unacceptable.

Hold on to it tho Might be valuable later ^^
Bayonetta was just horrible :p not because i was offended by any of those things (don't rly care if they want to putt as much research as they did in some body parts) but the game was just boring and bad imo :p

My dad bought that back during released, but never had time to install it on his PC. I've only played a few levels in, but I actually kinda like it (granted I also like the first Spider-Man movie game, which as very similar graphics and feel).

Empire Earth II: The worst RTS game I ever touched. Shitty lag caused by weather (even on a good compy), terrible mouse sync makes it hard to select individual units. Worst voice acting and most of all, crappy gameplay, unlike Rise of Nations, Empire Earth II economy system is pure fail and you're forced to expand your territory instead of focusing on civil development. I heard Empire Earth III failed so hard, Mad Doc got absorbed by Rockstar.
If you had a choice to choosing a good Civil RTS type game, I'd strongly recommend Rise of Nation over Empire Earth II

Half Life 2, utterly unimaginative gameplay and story. Took me 3 tries (over several years) to actually bother finish it. I wish I never had spend a penny on it, but I expected a good game from what Half Life 1 was.
Empire Total War... ...can't say much more. Medieval 2 = Brilliant. Rome = Brilliant.
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
If you didn't even pay for it, why are you complaining?
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
I did not say what I was firing. I am fan of inFAMOUS. I USE LIGHTNING, scaley bird!
I actually do find some of the gameplay segments boring on my second play through (the AI is pathetic in comparison to F.E.A.R., or maybe even Halo). I do, however, enjoy the gravity gun. However, I see Half-Life 2 more as a well made canvas with which to expand upon.
I did enjoy the story for Half-Life 2, really just because I could believe some of the characters. That, and I didn't feel like I was just some isolated vigiliant in the middle of nowhere with no human contact beyond random encounters (which was how I felt when playing a friend's copy of Half-Life).
I think the point he's trying to make is that he regretted it that much, even though he didn't even buy it. I can understand the feeling. Last night I just tried the game trial for Borderlands on my PS3...
Within about 20 minutes, I quit it. The humor was dry as bone, and the gameplay felt older and clunkier than Star Wars: Dark Forces (lets also not forget the fact there are Claptraps involved...). I was gonna get it for cheap on my PC because it looked neat.. but my gosh was it just a piece of crap. What I've read about Alpha Protocol's combat, it sounds almost exactly the same, except I now am more curious to play Alpha Protocol. At least that one generally is noted for an interesting (if not sometimes silly) story.

Half-Life 2 indeed is not a good game. But in the end you don't buy HL2 for the game but for the mods. That said I felt isolated in a similar way than in HL. The interactions with people is the same just that the choreography tool allows for more animations and that your "fellow slaves" chant all the time the same repetitive phrase in your ear when the blocked "again" your path (Frohman somebody?).
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
I take it I'm the only person who liked Half Life 2, but wishes there was more combat?
One thing about Half Life 2 I like that I occationally notice the AI doing smart things I never notice in most games. For example, if there is only 1 guy left, and he's injured, he will try and hide. The way they can give each other names and point out distences ect.
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
No, millions did. This thread is just full of crazy.
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
I've never seen this. I have, however, seen Combine soldiers blindly stand and take bullets. The Hunters are the most intelligent enemies I've seen yet. The way they may discuss things is interesting but (I think I'm beating a dead horse here) F.E.A.R. does that just as well, and the A.I. attempt to flank you while you're behind cover. Half-Life 2... I usually don't see anything more than maybe a grenade toss. the Combine depend a great deal on scripting and level guidance to get themselves where they need to go.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like more combat, I just want someone to fix some of the errors in logic. For example, I rarely ever see a need to use the Pistol in later levels, as often your enemy types that would die easily from it are already dead, and you're fighting bigger enemies that require the crossbow and combine assault rifle. Also, some more distinct weapons to be similar to the gravity gun would be nice (perhaps Valve should give Insomniac Games a call?).
That, and make the combat scenarios more diverse than "enemies you have to hide from", "enemies who stand in place as shot", and "enemies that are just annoying".
Generally everything else in Half-Life 2 is great, especially things like G-Man easter eggs, but it needs to feel different for me to warrant more than one or two playthroughs.
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
There's quite a difference between those liking the game and those buying it for the mods. I definitely know a lot more people that bought HL2 for the mods (me included) and didn't like the game itself much (some I know didn't even finish it as it bored them... after all they looked for mods).
Edited by: Dragonlord
|Jun 9 2011 Anchor
I didn't say there wasn't a difference, but on that note I know of a lot more people who bought the game for the game, enjoyed it, are waiting for EP3/HL3, etc.

Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis for the fourth quarter of 2012 was $5,112 million; $8 million (.2 percent) higher than the fourth quarter of 2011, reflecting a 4.1 percent increase in net interest income, largely offset by a 4.2 percent decrease in noninterest income. The increase in net interest income year-over-year was the result of higher average earning assets, continued growth in lower cost core deposit funding and the positive impact from long-term debt repricing. Noninterest income decreased year-over-year, primarily due to the $263 million merchant settlement gain recorded in the fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by higher mortgage banking revenue in the current quarter. Total net revenue on a taxable-equivalent basis was $67 million (1.3 percent) lower on a linked quarter basis due to lower fee-based revenue driven by a reduction in mortgage banking revenue and the net impact of a third quarter of 2012 gain on sale of a credit card portfolio and a charge related to an investment under the equity method of accounting.Total noninterest expense in the fourth quarter of 2012 was $2,686 million; $10 million (.4 percent) lower than the fourth quarter of 2011 and $77 million (3.0 percent) higher than the third quarter of 2012. The decrease in total noninterest expense year-over-year was primarily due to the accrual for mortgage servicing related matters recorded in fourth quarter of 2011, partially offset by the current quarter mortgage foreclosure-related regulatory settlement accrual, as well as higher mortgage servicing review-related professional services costs. Total noninterest expense on a linked quarter basis was higher, primarily due to the accrual for the mortgage foreclosure-related regulatory settlement and an increase in mortgage servicing review-related professional services costs, partially offset by lower compensation expense.

i got stuck in a never ending battle where me and the opponent only had 1 spell card each in the end. I was forced to surrender because of a never ending healing in the end.

Zombie Colony is a real time shooter survival strategy game. Scavenge for resources, build your camp, and survive against zombies.
The Zombie Colony alpha was released on the 21st of December, 2012. For all updates, news, and general information as soon as we know it, follow @ZombieColony on twitter!
There is also now an official facebook page here
*Note: Zombie Colony requires Half Life 2: Deathmatch and the content from Half Life 2: Episode 2.
Things are happening very rapidly now. The project has it's own website at zombiecolony.net. As well, we are very close to launching the Kickstarter. We will be updating here and our Facebook page with more concept art, and updating twitter when we have important news.
In the meantime, we have a ton of new concept art to show you guys. Most of these are sketches to explore the visual style and universe we're trying to bring to life.
As always guys, thank you very much for your support. Like I mentioned earlier, we are going to be moving forward very rapidly in the near future.
This update talks about recent additions to the team, and the potential for a kickstarter.
The mod gets an update! Fixed some minor (and some not so minor) bugs in the mod.

Hey i cant open the game, it saids some kind of error, do i need anything for it? it just jumps me out of the game before i see the menu, please help i really like the theme of this game D:
Oh nvm i got it fixed, not the mods problem. i have some ideas thou : materials for defence like barriers and guns require materials to build, they have to gather resource for it.
Looks like very ambitious and big project
Good luck with that
Maybe start campaign on Greenlight?
I've thought about it. I'd like to have the project be a bit more polished before I do that. I'm working on getting it onto Desura though.
This mod has a lot of potential and looks very interesting, im curious to see what you guys do with it.
Yo if you ever need any help programming or mapping just PM me

provides a range of products and services like credit cards,
mortgages, auto loans, commercial loans, investment banking
services and wealth management. Its investment banking division
provides debt and equity underwriting services to corporates and
merger related advisory services for institutions and competes with
other established investment banks such as Goldman Sachs (
), Morgan Stanley (
), Deutsche Bank (
) and
Wells Fargo
The investment banking division of Bank of America accounts for
around 4% of the
$16.12 Trefis price estimate
which is around 10% above the current market price. Activities
within Bank of America's investment banking division include
assisting companies, government-agencies and other
institutions in raising debt, loans and equity as well as providing
advisory services to for mergers, acquisitions, spin-offs and debt
Outlook for Investment Banking Improves
Bank of America's investment banking revenues have seen a
significant improvements after its acquisition of Merrill Lynch in
2009. Its investment banking revenues jumped nearly 121% from Q1
2008 to Q1 2009 and debt origination volume increased 71% from
As of Q4 2010, the performance of the investment banking sector
has remained strong as global investment banking revenues rose by
8% in 2010 to over $66 billion from $61 billion in 2009. We
forecast that debt origination accounts for over half of Bank of
America's investment banking revenues.
Improving economic conditions globally have helped banks
increase investment banking revenues and in particular debt
issuance. Increased debt origination volumes particularly in the
emerging countries have boosted Bank of America's revenues due to
its acquisition of Merrill Lynch that helped strengthen its
position in developing countries as Bank of America did not have a
strong presence in emerging markets previously.
Bank of America's market share of global debt origination has
increased from around 4% in 2008 to 7% in 2009 after the
acquisition of Merrill Lynch. We currently forecast its market
share to remain stable at current level during the Trefis forecast
period. However, its market share could increase due to continued
improvements in the capital markets environment and Bank of
America's global footprint.
To see the impact of Bank of America's share of global debt
origination on the company's stock value, drag the trend lines in
the modifiable charts above.

Stopping down to f22 or ND Filter?

Stopping down to f22 or ND Filter?
I love shooting light trails, motion blurs: clouds, water, car trails, fountains, etc. I saw some photos in flickrriver using 17mmTSE L stopped down to f22, at 9 pm to shoot downtown traffic trails to get 60 minutes exposure time. Now I know this lens won't take filters, but I am shooting with an efs 10mmZoom, I never stopped down to f22 and use the best ND filters from B&W up to 10 stops, depending on the time of day.
Now my question is, if shooting downtown at traffic, at 9 pm rush hour, at ISO 100, is it better to stop down to f22 or use a ND filter and stay at f8 or f11 to get 60 minutes exposure?

Telcos make Kipp angry. Again
Viber is okay, but Skype isn't, apparently, which makes no sense. Meanwhile, telcos are charging customers thousands for innocent mistakes. Sigh. Why must life be so hard?
January 17, 2011 3:30 by Samuel Potter
We think you can see where we're going with this. Kipp pays for its internet subscription fair and square, and we want to use Skype from our computer to call another computer. HOW IS THIS DIFFERENT?!
Sorry, there was that rage again.
Although actually, we'll tell you one way it is different. From what we gather from our friends who have taken up smartphone deals with the telcos, the 'data packages' are notoriously difficult things to get a handle on. And if you get it wrong, it will cost you, and cost you, and cost you and cost you some more. No wonder Du is happy for you to use Viber; if it helps get you above your data allowance they own pretty much your whole salary and then some.
Alex McNabb, our regular guest blogger, fell foul of the data danger. In two or three days above his mobile internet allowance he racked up a bill of AED 1,200. In his blog he says: "You'd have thought Etisalat would send you a text when you got to the 10Mb mark, wouldn't you? But that would be far too sensible. They'd rather bill their unsuspecting, arguably duped, customers for the lesson."
Meanwhile Kipp knows at least four other friends whose bills have climbed into the thousands of dirhams. One guy was arrested at the airport after his telco mischarged him, then reported him to the police who slapped a travel ban on him. To avoid a trip to prison he was forced to pay a bill for AED 12,000 that he argues was a mistake in the first place. And if you think all this can be nicely sorted out by the telcos' customer service department, good luck to you.
Kipp doesn't think the telcos are evil, but we do think they are inefficient and unreliable and stunningly bad at communicating. We take this opportunity to caution the "almost a third" of consumers in the Middle East who plan to buy a new smartphone this year, and the 43 percent of people who plan to use a smartphone to access the internet: Know what your deal is, keep track of your usage, and most importantly keep a close eye on your bill.
Or better yet, be more like Kipp and rely on fax. Now, if you want the next article, push "receive."

to be honest, i never subscribed to anything other
than of normal calling, even i don't respond to Cash Back offers, and Data…. no way. This is because I don't trust the Telecom.
I use my smartphone only on Wireless networks because I found wireless on most of the places, i.e. home, office, malls, coffee shops.
Another spice to the offers is unlimited data on 3.5G network, why would you have unlimited data when it is 2GB, the most expensive package in the world. Charge reasonable price and give freedom to users in order to retain them. Teleco's revenue will be more in that case.
I always go for prepaid, no billing, no subscription, nothing!! because I am afraid of Telecos.. :o)
I agree with you Yousaf.
Thats what I do as well. I am not a sucker for those data packages which quite frankly rob you blind. Neither of the Telecoms are willing to 'really' compete. Sure prices on phones are stablizing or more or less decreasing while we are getting at times seemingly tempting offers. At any rate, there is no competition on prices. Neither on call charges nor data bundles. In fact, they are actually on the rise when compared to just a few years ago. Availing the notion that there is no duopoly is mere ignorance to say the least. As long as there are only 'semi-government' telecos on coming into the market, price is only going to go up. They should ease there charges or at least halt their growth till finances and job security stablizes. Among the only industry that actually making record profits is telecom. Sure, recently Etisalat dropped in profit but du rose staggeringly. With the notion of duopoly in mind, remember this: If one goes down and the other goes up, they both go up. Frankly speaking, the only way for prices to go down is for a foreign operator gets in to the market. However, even if successful, this success may go downhill for us consumers if corporate decisions undergo filtering system of the TRA.

Manzanita Group
The members of this group work in handicrafts, especially making traditional outfits and hand-made clothes. They are requesting this loan to buy fabric, linen, special needles for this type of dressmaking and ao po'i (a fine cotton cloth).
Oilda C. has been a craftswoman for a long time. She would like to get ahead financially because she would like to be able to provide her family with a better future. She knows that it is very difficult to get financial support since she has tried to obtain such support from other institutions and was not successful. For this reason, she is very grateful to Fundación Paraguaya and Kiva because they are providing her with the opportunity to increase her family income.
Las integrantes se dedican a la artesanía, especialmente a confeccionar atuendos tradicionales, ropas artesanales, por ello solicitan el crédito para poder comprar telas, lienzos, agujas especiales para este tipo de confecciones, y ao po'i.
La sra. Oilda C. es artesana desde hace mucho tiempo, ella desea poder superarse económicamente porque anhela poder brindar un futuro mejor a su familia. Sabe que es muy difícil conseguir un apoyo financiero pues ha intentado obtenerlo en otras instituciones y no lo ha logrado, por eso se encuentra muy agradecida con la Fundación Paraguaya y Kiva, pues en ellos encuentra la oportunidad de conseguir aumentar sus ingresos familiares.
Additional Information
About Fundación ParaguayaFundación Paraguaya is a financially self-sustaining social enterprise that promotes entrepreneurship in urban and rural areas through microfinance, education programs, and more. Its focus on agriculture has helped many farmers boost their crop yields. And a number of other borrowers have taken out loans to start and grow social businesses that have helped deliver eyeglasses, medicines and other helpful services in their local communities.
This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.

Investors in XL Group plc (XL) saw new options become available today, for the July 2014 expiration. One of the key inputs that goes into the price an option buyer is willing to pay, is the time value, so with 243 days until expiration the newly available contracts represent a possible opportunity for sellers of puts or calls to achieve a higher premium than would be available for the contracts with a closer expiration. At Stock Options Channel, our YieldBoost formula has looked up and down the XL options chain for the new July 2014 contracts and identified one put and one call contract of particular interest.The put contract at the $27.00 strike price has a current bid of 66 cents. If an investor was to sell-to-open that put contract, they are committing to purchase the stock at $27.00, but will also collect the premium, putting the cost basis of the shares at $26.34 (before broker commissions). To an investor already interested in purchasing shares of XL, that could represent an attractive alternative to paying $31.56/share today.

There's no question about the importance of drums and percussion in music. If you're playing energetic songs for a live audience, it's the rhythm that'll get them moving and the drums have to create that rhythm. Even in more subtle, softer genres and styles, the right application of percussion sounds and effects goes an incredibly long way to setting mood and atmosphere. This isn't just the oldest instrument family on the stage: it just might be the most crucial one as well. Some of our top brands in this category are: Zildjian, Paiste, Meinl Percussion, Pearl, Remo,
For the lion's share of rock and pop music, you're looking at a classic drum set: tom-toms, snares, bass and cymbals. You'll find a huge selection of these staple instruments here, in as many varieties as you could name. If you're just starting out with the drums, take a look at shell packs and drum sets to get up and running in a hurry. On the other hand, if you're a veteran drummer, chances are that you'd prefer to pick and choose your instruments individually. For the adventurous among us, there are electronic drum sets, which open up the unlimited potential of customized samples. Whatever you want to do to distinguish yourself from other drummers, this is where you can find the instruments to get there.
One of the best things about percussion is that there are no real boundaries. With talent and a knack for making rhythms, you can integrate virtually anything into a melody. It's that sort of ingenuity that gave rise to a lot of the handheld and world percussion available here. Take the cajon for example; this drum is descended from simple shipping crates but it's now become a precision instrument with tons of potential and character.
It's a fact that standard drum sets and cymbals are only scratching the surface of what percussion can do. In this section, it's easy to see just how deep your potential is as a drummer with plenty of the usual suspects as well as a ton of more exotic instruments and accessories. If you're ready to bring the rhythms and beats to the stage, you've got thousands of ways right here to make it happen
Our product catalog varies by country due to manufacturer restrictions. If you change the Ship-To country, some or all of the items in your cart may not ship to the new destination.

while loop == 1:

ST. LOUIS -- The St. Louis Rams' adjustment to a short workweek has started pretty smoothly.
They come off a 19-13 victory over Seattle on Sunday relatively healthy and get a second consecutive home game for their Thursday night matchup with Arizona.
Coach Jeff Fisher said while there were obvious adjustments to the schedule -- Monday's practice was more typical of a Wednesday workout -- the inconveniences were minor.

The Kardashians & Sarah Palin Star in Stusser's "Speak No Evil" Video Exclusive"/>
Of all the reasons to spew vitriol from one's mouth--and, in this day and age, Twitter account--catching your spouse in compromising positions with another man ranks high on the list. And yet, when confronted with precisely those circumstances, Michael A. Stusser chose to zag: Namely, he subjected himself to an experiment in which he attempted to neither say nor type anything bad about anyone for an entire month. The results are chronicled in this week's feature story, "Speak No Evil, Tweet No Evil," as well as in an exclusive video interpretation of the before-and-after Stusser that we have right here.
Stusser, primarily a humor writer, has been one of the area's snarkiest scribes since well before the Internet turned otherwise meek, pleasant people into chest-thumping, anonymous assholes. So this made Stusser's experiment doubly hard.
Here, Stusser plumbs the depths of his duplicitous self to show you what opinions he may have had, before and after/during his experiment, on individuals such as the Kardashian family, Mayor McGinn, Sarah Palin, Seal, and bees. (Thanks to SW interns Joe Williams and Julia Waterhous for producing this shorty):

Abstract"FMI has recently demonstrated that light weight, potentially low cost carbon fiber reinforced silicon carbide ceramic matrix composites can survive simulated DACS environments under 3700F propellant testing. Higher temperature capabilities are sought toattain performance advantages afforded by higher temperature propellants. Ultra High Temperature Ceramics in the composition range ZrB2-HfB2-SiC have been proven in recent years to be highly effective in re-entry body applications. Still, these ceramicshave been shown to be prone to catastrophic failure. Only fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites are likely to withstand the thermal shock and operational vibration loading present in DACS applications. We propose to examine the potential of anenhanced C/SiC composite that makes use of hafnium diboride particulate additives to a commercial silicon carbide polymer precursor. Thin wall braided carbon fiber preforms will be rigidized with a CVD derived carbon interphase coating. The preform willthen undergo repeated filled polymer impregnation cycles to densify the interstitial space with a composite matrix of HfB2/SiC. A hermetic surface coating will be applied using further liquid phase processing to achieve a higher temperature CMC. A pair ofPhase I optimized DACS nozzle test articles will be made available for testing. Lightweight higher temperature nozzle components for improved DACS systems would allow for increased acceleration a

I've read a lot about how great Clojure is when it comes to concurrency, but none of the tutorials I've read actually explain how to create a thread. Do you just do (.start (Thread. func)), or is there another way that I've missed?
Another option is to use agents, in which case you would
Yet another option would be
Usually when I want to start a thread in Clojure I just use future.
As well as being simple to use, this has the advantage that you avoid having to do any messy Java interop to access the underlying Java threading mechanisms.
Example usage:
This will execute the function asynchronously in another thread.
If you want to get the result, just dereference the future, e.g:
Note that @a will block until the future thread has completed its work.
Programming Clojure doesn't address that question until page 167: "Use Agents for Asynchronous Updates".
Before you go starting threads, please note that Clojure will multitask on its own, given half a chance. I've written programs blithely ignorant of concurrency and found that when conditions are right, they occupy more than one CPU. I know that's not a very rigorous definition: I haven't explored this in depth yet.
But for those occasions when you really do need an explicit separate activity, one of Clojure's answers is apparently the agent.
will create one. It's not like a Java Thread in terms of being a code block waiting to be executed. Instead, it's an activity waiting to be given work to do. You do this via
The example does
Having set that up, you can send work to the agent:
will tell it to apply the given function to its state.
You can later pull the state out of the agent by dereferencing it:
Yes, the way that you start a Java Thread in Clojure is something like what you have there.
However, the real question is: why would you want to do that? Clojure has much better concurrency constructs than threads.
If you look at the canonical concurrency example in Clojure, Rich Hickey's ant colony simulation, you will see that is uses exactly 0 threads. The only reference to
All the logic is done in Agents: one agent for every ant, one agent for the animation and one agent for the pheromone evaporation. The playing field is a transactional ref. Not a thread nor lock in sight.
Using a future is usually the simplest adhoc access to threading. Depends entirely on what you want to do :)
if you need a reference to a java.lang.Thread object, for instance, to use it as a java.lang.Runtime shutdown hook, you can create a Thread like this:
This will not start the thread yet, only create it. To create and run the thread, submit it to a thread pool or call .start on it:
Brians's answer also creates a thread but doesn't need proxy, so that's very elegant. On the other hand, by using proxy we can avoid creating a Callable.

VTOL by TheDrowningEarthWatch
©2011-2016 TheDrowningEarth
Still incomplete, but I like what I have so far. Will revisit this some time in the future.
War is calling me, then I'm ready.
very nice!!
Impressive.I like the whole idea you had for this piece
This wouldn't happen to be for anything in particular, would it?
I have a lot of informal concepts like it for my universe(s), but it's in need of a minor redesign in my opinion.
Love this VTOL Design. Great work!
"Swing back around! We lost Jeb on that turn!"
very cool
It reminds me somewhat of an A-10 Thunderbolt.
I don't know. I'm having a hard time finding similarities other than the tail section and the paint scheme on some planes.
OK, then allow me to rephrase. It's forward section reminds of an A10, and looks like what a VTOL version of the same craft might look like especially if it were converted into a troop carrier.
Interesting perpective
a flying fish XD
Still, pretty cool. Gives it sort of that old Vietnam 'riding on the skids' feel.

Pastrami or corned beef? Russian dressing or 1000 Island? Grilled or toasted rye bread?
One of the things we learned while researching this Versus challenge is that Reuben sandwiches wear many hats. Deciding which one you want yours to wear is a simple matter of taste. For instance, we prefer pastrami on our Reubens for the simple addition of some light seasoning. But the type of meat you chose really won't change the taste of the sandwich. Both corned beef and pastrami come from the same cut of brisket, however, pastrami is smoked after it's cured (usually with a dry rub). Corned beef is not. We also aren't a big fan of additional cheeses. A solo Swiss will do just fine. With that, we wanted to know whose Reuben we'd like best: The Collins Pub or Three Girls Bakery?
The Collins Pub
The Collin's Pub Reuben
526 2nd Ave., 623-1016
We heard The Collins Pub had a killer burger, so we were anxious to try their Reuben. It didn't disappoint. The pastrami was perfectly cooked -- tender, not stringy; it had a nice consistency -- fragile, not tough. There was just the right amount of sauerkraut and 1000 Island dressing, which cut the tang of the Swiss cheese and kraut combo. Plus, the pastrami appeared pre-grilled, creating a crisp bacon-like char around the edges. And at $12, you can bet this sandwich came with a side of fries. Our only complaint: the rye bread was doused with a little too much butter before hitting the grill, creating some unnecessary greasiness.
|Three Girls Bakery Pastrami Reuben
1514 Pike Place Stall #1, 622-1045
"You have to try the Reuben at Three Girls," we were told repeatedly by readers. So, we did. Our excitement was cut short once we took a seat at the counter and watched as our server nuked the sauerkraut and cheese (both Swiss and cheddar). Not only was this visually unappealing, but the microwave caused the textures to blend together. The kraut/cheese concoction was thrown atop a generous helping of pastrami on light rye, buttered slightly and put under the sandwich press. The toasted Reuben was delightful; not as tangy as the Collin's version, but tender and juicy nonetheless. And like the Collins' Reuben, it was assembled with just the right amount of pastrami to create a user-friendly sandwich. We also ordered the corned beef Reuben on dark rye for comparison's sake. It wasn't as good. The dill seeds embedded in the light rye created a more flavorful sandwich, and honestly, we couldn't tell the corned beef from the pastrami. This Reuben doesn't come with a side of anything, but at just $7.50, it's a good value.
Verdict: Both sandwiches came with delicate folds of thinly sliced pastrami which created sandwiches that were easy to eat and flavorful -- possibly the two most important components of any sandwich. But when it comes down to it, the Reuben at the Collins Pub is the sandwich we still crave. While the Reuben at Three Girls was good and by far the best value, the cheddar cheese was just too much to deal with; it oozed out of the bread like an artificial cheese sauce. And the pastrami was not pre-grilled which made it kind of bland. It goes without saying, but the sauerkraut shouldn't have been microwaved and, ultimately, there were no layers of flavor, like the reuben at the Collins Pub. When you bite into the Collins' Reuben you taste grilled pastrami, 1000 Island, sauerkraut and Swiss cheese. When you take a bite of the Three Girls Reuben you taste meat and cheese, as if they are a bundled item, relying on each other to support a flavor profile. No nuances. We'll pay the extra $3.50 to eat the Collins' Reuben again.

1. Declines in area and quality of species-rich mesotrophic and calcareous grasslands have occurred all across Europe. While the European Union has promoted schemes to restore these grasslands, the emphasis for management has remained largely focused on plants. Here we focus on restoration of the phytophagous beetles of these grasslands. Although local management, particularly that which promotes the establishment of host plants, is key to restoration success, dispersal limitation is also likely to be an important limiting factor during the restoration of phytophagous beetle assemblages.
2. Using a 3-year multi-site experiment, we investigated how restoration success of phytophagous beetles was affected by hay-spreading management (intended to introduce target plant species), success in restoration of the plant communities and the landscape context within which restoration was attempted.
3. Restoration success of the plants was greatest where green hay spreading had been used to introduce seeds into restoration sites. Beetle restoration success increased over time, although hay-spreading had no direct effect. However, restoration success of the beetles was positively correlated with restoration success of the plants.
4. Overall restoration success of the phytophagous beetles was positively correlated with the proportion of species-rich grassland in the landscape, as was the restoration success of the polyphagous beetles. Restoration success for beetles capable of flight and those showing oligophagous host plant specialism were also positively correlated with connectivity to species-rich grasslands. There was no indication that beetles not capable of flight showed greater dependence on landscape scale factors than flying species.
5.Synthesis and applications. Increasing the similarity of the plant community at restoration sites to target species-rich grasslands will promote restoration success for the phytophagous beetles. However, landscape context is also important, with restoration being approximately twice as successful in those landscapes containing high as opposed to low proportions of species-rich grassland. By targeting grassland restoration within landscapes containing high proportions of species-rich grassland, dispersal limitation problems associated with restoration for invertebrate assemblages are more likely to be overcome.
