The Quality Assurance Task Force (QATF), an advisory group formed to assist the Executive Director of the Office of Public Defense Services in monitoring and improving the quality of public defense services in Oregon, has identified the policies and practices set forth in the document Best Practices for Oregon Public Defense Providers as a means to achieve excellence in public defense services. The recommended best practices are an outgrowth of the QATF's principle work of advising the Executive Director on the conduct of peer evaluations of public defense providers. The recommendations, which evolve as the peer review process continues to identify policies and practices in use around the state that can be recommended to other providers, is neither a comprehensive description of a successful public defense provider management plan nor a recommendation for an inflexible "one-size-fits-all" plan. Rather, these are current practices that the QATF has identified as contributing to the achievement of excellence in public defense practice.

Policy Snapshot
Brief Description: Describes policy and procedures for administering the student retirement plan.
Reason for Policy: To provide guidelines for the CU Student Retirement Plan for student employees who are not exempt from participation in a retirement plan as provided by federal and state laws.
I. Introduction
Students employed in certain job classifications at the University of Colorado are exempt from the State Personnel System and its employee classifications by the Colorado Constitution, Section 13(2) of Article XII. Additionally, the University's Qualified Retirement Plan document and Colorado Revised Statutes 24-51-310(1)(a)(I) exempt student employees from participation in the University 401(a) Retirement Plan or the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) plan.
For employees in student job classifications at the University of Colorado who do not meet the conditions of exemption for participation in a retirement plan established by the Internal Revenue Code or Treasury Regulation, House Bill 93-1328 (Colorado statute) provides a Student Employee Retirement Plan as an alternative to social security. Representatives from the Colorado Commission of Higher Education and governing boards of higher education institutions in Colorado administer the Plan to ensure it meets minimum federal standards to qualify as a retirement plan. At its meeting of April 15, 1993, the Board of Regents approved the Student Retirement Plan for student employees who are not exempt from participation in a retirement plan. Regental policy11.F.2 forms the basis for this administrative policy statement and for the conditions of participation in the Student Retirement Plan. The policy states: "Eligible Employees shall be enrolled in a retirement program as provided by applicable state plan or as authorized by the Board of Regents."
This administrative policy statement addresses social security tax and related withholding issues associated with employees in student job classifications. Specifically, it explains which employees are eligible for the student FICA exception and thus are not subject to the Student Retirement Plan and Medicare tax withholding.
Employees at the University who qualify as students under IRS guidelines are generally exempt from mandatory alternate retirement plan withholding (i.e., the Student Retirement Plan) and Medicare tax withholding. Student employees who work for the University of Colorado may qualify as students under IRS guidelines - and exemption from the Student Retirement Plan - on the basis of their employment at the University of Colorado. However, student employees who are enrolled in high school, trade school, or any schools other than the University of Colorado, are subject to the Student Retirement Plan.
The Chancellors are responsible for implementing and enforcing this policy on their campuses. The campuses are responsible for monitoring employees in student job classifications on the student payroll for compliance with IRS and University guidelines. All employees in student job classifications on the student payroll must be evaluated at the end of the "add/drop" period for each academic term to verify student status during that term. Documentation of the student status evaluation will reside in the hiring department.
II. Policy Statement
Students are employed by units of the University of Colorado to assist with a variety of activities in support of our missions of teaching and research. The University recognizes that all units, which hire students, do so with the commitment to recognize and support that student employees are, in fact, students first. As such, it is incumbent upon all faculty and staff to ensure that student employees are not given excessive workloads or multiple appointments that interfere with or adversely affect a student's academic progress.
III. Procedures, Forms, Guidelines and Other Resources
- Procedures
- Upon the date of hire of a student and/or as of the end of the "add/drop" period for each academic term, the hiring authority must make a determination regarding enrollment of the student employee(s) in the Student Retirement Plan based on the following conditions:
- If a student employee is a full-time employee whose normal weekly work schedule is 40 hours or more, the student employee will be subject to the Student Retirement Plan, regardless of his or her enrollment status.
- If the student employee does not normally work 40 or more hours per week and is enrolled in University courses that meet or exceed the credit hours for the appropriate half-time student status per semester/quarter or other equivalent academic term described below, the student employee is exempt from enrollment in the Student Retirement Plan for that semester/quarter or academic term. Determination of student status should be made at the end of the drop/add period for each academic term, or at the end of registration for payroll periods ending before the end of the drop/add period. Student employees, who are enrolled in high school, trade school, or any schools other than the University of Colorado, are subject to the Student Retirement Plan.
- Undergraduate half-time status
- Six (6) credit hours during the fall semester
- Six (6) credit hours during the spring semester
- Six (6) credit hours during the summer semester
- Appropriate credit hours equivalent to six (6) semester credit hours during each academic term as defined by the school
- If the student employee is in the last academic term of a course of study requiring at least two academic terms to complete and is enrolled in the number of credit hours needed to complete the degree requirements, the student will qualify for exemption from the Student Retirement Plan for that academic term, even if the student employee is enrolled in less than the number of hours stated in (1) & (4).
- Graduate half-time status
- Three (3) credit hours during the fall semester
- Three (3) credit hours during the spring semester
- Three (3) credit hours during the summer semester
- Appropriate credit hours equivalent to three (3) semester credit hours during each academic term as defined by the school
- If the student employee is in the last academic term of a course of study requiring at least two academic terms to complete and is enrolled in the number of credit hours needed to complete the degree requirements, the student will qualify for exemption from the Student Retirement Plan for that academic term, even if the student employee is enrolled in less than the number of hours stated in (1) & (4).
- Dissertation or thesis - a graduate student who has completed all the academic classes required for the advanced degree, and whose remaining enrollment consists of the dissertation or thesis, will be considered as a graduate student with half-time status for purposes of the Student Retirement Plan.
- Undergraduate half-time status
- Student status may be continued during periods of enrollment inactivity if not greater than five weeks, and employment may be pursued or continued in University-defined student employee job classifications. However, these students must be enrolled in the Student Retirement Plan if either of the following conditions exists:
- New students with intentions of pursuing a course of study with the institution at the next available scheduled opportunity may pursue employment with the University one academic term prior to enrollment. The student must provide the hiring authority with proof of acceptance by the institution to enroll or have an enrollment confirmation for the next academic term.
- Continuing students following prescribed institution schedules for their pursuit of study may seek or continue employment with the University for one academic term. For example, this condition is intended to address those students not enrolled or attending the summer semester but who will continue their study in the fall semester.
- Upon graduation or receipt of a professional license or certification, the status of student, as defined, is terminated as of the end of that semester/quarter academic term. Further employment by the hiring authority must be accomplished through regular University employee classifications and hiring procedures.
- Educational Resources
Announced on the Employee Services website and in other campus outreach activities.
IV. Definitions

ABSC launches website to help churches fill needed ministry roles
The Arkansas Baptist State Convention (ABSC) has recently launched a new website - http://serve.absc.org - designed to help more churches fill needed ministry roles.
William Jaques Jr., ABSC leadership and worship team member, explained that the website is designed as an online bulletin board where churches, associations and ABSC agencies and institutions will have the ability to post both paid and volunteer ministry positions. Additionally, people who are seeking paid or volunteer ministry positions will be able to search for potential positions in their area.
"The need for the bulletin board became apparent during evaluation of the efficacy of the ABSC's online résumé system," Jaques said. "Many churches request and receive résumés for ministry positions that need to be filled in their church on an annual basis. However, if a church wanted simply to post an opening for a position, there was no place on the convention website for them to do so. Additionally, if the church needed to fill a position other than a ministerial position, such as custodial or secretarial, they were forced to advertise in other places."
He said with the release of the new website, ABSC churches and associations may now post openings for multiple types of employment opportunities. However, the site also allows them to post opportunities for volunteer services.
"Let's say, for example, that a church in the Delta would like to host a sports camp for the students in their town, but they don't have the manpower to accomplish this task without help. They could post the need on this new website, and a church from across the state whose youth group is looking for a good missions opportunity could meet this need," Jaques explained.
The site is laid out along two distinct paths, he explained. The first path is for those who would like to post a paid or volunteer position. Every Arkansas church, association and ABSC employee - anyone with access to ACTS - can post an available position by logging onto the system using their ACTS user name and password.
The second path is for those who are looking for a ministry opportunity. The site allows seekers to search for positions in their area.
Additionally, a person may sign up to receive an email notification when a new position is posted.
"We hope that this site will be useful for connecting churches, associations and state convention employees, agencies and institutions with willing individuals to fill needed ministry roles," said Jaques.
Questions concerning the new website may be directed to Jaques at 501-376-4791, ext. 5160, or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Shaquille O'Neal unfiltered: New TNT hire talks Heat, more
Shaquille O'Neal formally was introduced Thursday as the fourth wheel on TNT's NBA studio show.
The former Miami Heat center, who will pair with Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith, came out swinging, including his take on LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Bosh and the Heat coming up short against the Dallas Mavericks in the NBA Finals.
"They just came up against a team and it was their turn," he said. "Dirk played unbelievable. They played together. I just think it was their turn.
"Michael Jordan told me a long time ago that before you succeed you must first learn to fail. This was the Big Three's first time together and they made it very far and they are going to be together for a long time.
"I'm guaranteeing they will get back."
Hmm, Shaq as the anti-Barkley, who would have thought?
During a teleconference, O'Neal touched on a variety of topics.
On whether he and Barkley will become the new Kobe-and-Shaq of television: "I would say yes. Charles is a funny guy. He is a guy that says what's on his mind. I'm just honored to sit up there with him, Kenny and Ernie. We are going to make it very fun. We are going to make it more exciting for the fans to watch."
On fitting in with an already-successful studio cast: "I don't think it will be hard for me. I've always been a people person. [The] good thing about this show, everyone has their own opinion. Kenny has his opinion from a guard's point of view, Charles has his opinion from a forward's point of view and I have my opinion from a center's point of view. I know it will work out very well."
On the legacy of retiring Rockets center Yao Ming: "The way his career ended was similar to how my career ended, by injury. If he wasn't injury-plagued those last three years he would have put up more numbers."
On the state of the big man in the NBA now that he and Yao Ming have retired: "The beasts are now gone. The goliaths are now gone. That leaves Dwight Howard out there by himself. If he doesn't get two or three championships, I'll be disappointed because he has no competition out there anymore. None. Zero."
On the transition to becoming an analyst and having to criticize players: "I don't think it will be hard. Some people give unfair criticism. Some people give fair criticism. I have the ability and backing to give fair criticism. The only time I have a problem with people giving criticism is when they haven't walked that walk. I have walked many walks in my 19-year career. I think any criticism I give should be fair."
On whether he'll ever consider coming out of retirement: "No. One word answer: No."

Aggregate from Pigsdon Quarry
What coverage can I expect from a tonne of building stone?
1 tonne will cover 3 square metres approximately.

The majority of our trucks in most cases require a minimum of 2.75m (9') width clearance to enable us to deliver but if in doubt ask, we can check out access if required.
How can I pay for my aggregate?
We can take card details over the phone and complete the transaction when the material is weighed out over our weighbridge. We do not accept cheques.
How many tonnes are in a cubic metre?
We usually work on an approximate figure of 1.6 tonnes to a cubic metre.

TC TO KARL AUGUST VARNHAGEN VON ENSE; 24 December 1850; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18501224-TC-KAVE-01; CL 25: 316-318
Chelsea, 24 decr, 1850—
My dear Sir,
At the winter solstice, when Christmas Carols are about breaking out, and men are remembering old friends, I again write to you. For many months past, I have been too sickly and dispirited to write to any one; indeed, of late, the burden of life falls so heavy on me, and things in this strange epoch are so intricate around and in me, I feel it a kind of necessity to hold my peace, and contemplate the Inextricable without attempting to name it at all. I do confidently hope to reacquire the use of speech, and with it much human joy at present very much forborne:—in the meanwhile I can say: old friends are only the more dear and sacred to me that I have to look at them as if I were already in Hades,—as if they and I had no portion but in Eternity, and our speech to one another, for the present, were as that of Gods, a mute symbolical one! Perhaps you understand all this, out of your own experience too; at any rate, I know you will forgive it, and look kindly on it as you do on all things.
We regularly hear of you thro' Miss Wynne and otherwise; we had Berlin visitors not long since, and looked direct upon faces that had lately looked on you. Many kind and pleasant messages have we had, and none that was not kind and pleasant, from Herrn Varnhagen; for all which, accept gratitude if we have nothing better!— The other evening Miss Wynne was with us; and we hoped to have persuaded her again tomorrow; but she decides to pass this Christmas day, the first after her Father's death,1 in solitude and silence. Which also we reckon to be good.— You will be rejoiced to learn that, since this final consummation and winding up of her many toils and sorrows, her health appears decidedly to begin improving; and friends look forward with assurance towards better days for this excellent and amiable person. Of Milnes, Bölte, &c I say nothing; for I suppose you hear of them much oftener than I do, at this season of the year.
But let me state my special errand before my paper end. I have a favour to ask on this occasion; and I know you will do in it for me what you can,—my only apprehension is that you put yourself about to do more. Beware of that latter extreme; and hear in brief what the matter is. A certain Herr Neuberg, who has lived long in England, and has now revisited Germany (a Würtemburger, I think), is resident at Bonn this winter; and I think meditates some journey to Berlin soon. He is a man of unostentatious but truly superior character; a most pious, clear, resolute, modest and earnest man; with excellent insights and faculties; well acquainted both with our literature and yours, and indeed knows England and English affairs better probably than any stranger you have met. This Neuberg, who was twenty years a merchant in this country, and then, finding himself possessed of a competence and totally without enthusiasm for more, decided to give up business, and live henceforth among intellectual objects,—appears to have produced some small volume for the Press (I think it consists mainly of translations from me, "upon the subject of Work");2 and this chiefly is his errand to Berlin at present. In which matter it is naturally clear to him of how much service you, whose works, qualities and position are well known to him as to every one, might be;—wherefore he modestly insinuates, not a request, but a hint or wish that I would introduce him. Being a man whom I so much esteem, and who has really so much sense and practicality, and deserves so much esteem, there is no refusing him this favour: accordingly, either by post from Bonn, or more probably direct from hand in Berlin, you will likely soon receive a card of mine introducing Neuberg and his little errand; whom I will only ask you to receive for my sake, and to treat farther according as the circumstances seem to yourself to direct. His Manuscript, I believe, is of no great length, and will probably be very clearly written: if you pleased to run your eye over it, and give him any advice, he would be very grateful for it (as should I), and would receive it with a truly intelligent and modest mind. But, once more, let this be, I entreat you, just as the case directs; for neither N. nor I will be so unfair as to make any request about it, or entertain any expectation upon it. With regard to the man himself, I much mistake if you do not find him a rather pleasant incidental acquaintance, with conversation which will entertain you well on various subjects;—and as such I will beg you to welcome him; leaving the rest to follow, or not to follow, as the law of the phenomenon prescribes.
And so adieu my dear Sir; with many wishes and regards, suitable at this season and at all seasons. I hope to write again, about many other more interesting matters; I even hope to hear from you again. We are full of "Papal Aggression," "Chrystal Palace," and other nonsense of which I say nothing just now.—
Yours ever truly, /
T. Carlyle

Member of the reality-based community of progressive (not anonymous) Massachusetts blogs
Back in June,
It was interesting to see C.Lorrey pop his head up, like he did. In less than one news cycle he picked the LPD's OT budget's pocket (I support that cut, btw) and came up with the scoop on the parking whistleblower. This makes me nervous, but I'm the nervous type. Ever the affable guy, Lorrey may not be able to shuck and grin his way through such political mayhem. The long knives are being palmed, hidden from view. This is not a good time to be "Johnny on the spot." Anyone who has ever seen Goodfellas knows, it is your friends that come for you. They come with smiles.
With just a few months under his belt, the freshman Councilor boldly stepped up, implementing campaign promises and pushing through some of the rhetorical fodder glomming up the dialogue in the Council Chamber. Lorrey pressed hard on several issues, including the facilities at the High School, the squabble over the soccer field sewer pipe and, more recently, the use of "other" city authorities to squelch the unruliness downtown.
For this, the Blog of Record has thrown a fastball, high and inside.
CITY COUNCILOR Marty Lorrey's comments at meetings are often unpredictable, but Tuesday night he raised other councilors' eyebrows with his statements on two major issues percolating in the city: the parking-kiosk theft and the city's approach to violence in the downtown.
While most councilors have spent time criticizing Central Parking System over the theft of $37,000 in parking revenue and saying the management company's contract should not be renewed, Lorrey said Tuesday one of his concerns is trying to help Central Parking employees keep their jobs if another company secures the contract.
Lorrey said the city should look into putting a provision in a contract with a new vendor that employees currently working in the city for Central Parking be hired.
"Many of these people live in the city, and I would like to see them have a shot at the jobs and to maintain their current employment," Lorrey said.
Essentially, Lorrey was lobbying for a new private company to hire private employees if Central Parking's contract is not renewed. Last we checked, that is out of a councilor's jurisdiction.
Um … Lorrey is looking out for the little guy, here. Oh, my!
In government contracting, especially at the federal level, it is very common for contracts delivered locally to be run by a company from far away. The current parking contractor is not from Lowell or even Massachusetts. What Lorrey knows is that, should the contract change hands, it is normal for the new company to retain most, if not all of the workers. Most changes would occur at the management level. Except, now, this contract is under a cloud. Thus, good workers, who have done NOTHING wrong, may lose their bread and butter because a few loudmouths want to instigate a witch hunt.
Marty Lorrey is trying to protect real people from the collateral damage caused by dizzied nitwits proposing kneejerk solutions to an imagined boogeyman.
And for that, The Sun throws chin music.
I don't know if it's right to attribute this to personal animus towards Lorrey.
If there is one principle the Lowell Sun stands for these days, it is the belief that the government should never, ever do anything that might tie the hands of corporate management and ownership on behalf of the public.
"that is out of a councilor's jurisdiction."
You could debate weather it's wise or not, but provisions of a contract with the city are exactly within a councilor's jurisdiction.
Rephrase the question - if its not in the councilor's jurisdiction, then who's? If you say 'nobody' what you're implying is that the idea is illegal. If so, fine - someone should show us exactly why and how it's illegal. If it isn't illegal it certain IS in someone's jurisdiction. If not the council's, who's?
Not long ago, a city official apparently used his influence to have a particular person hired by the city's private parking contractor. That hire turned out to be a thief. The city official was then unwilling or unable to discharge his sworn duty to protect the city. Are there other parking vendor employees hired at the behest of city or council officials? Do we care? Should we care? Is it proper for anyone to use his official position to influence the hiring by a private company doing business with the city? The chips will fall wherever they fall in terms of whether a new parking contractor is put into place. But new vendor or old, why should the city interfere with that company's hiring and vetting process? I'd rather have a vendor who is free to hire whoever they want as long as they provide reliable, efficient, trustworthy services to the city. Why the desire to close our eyes and pretend that nothing has happened? Have we learned nothing?
I like the idea of hiring local, but I think I come down on the side of JC on this one. And it may be premature to conclude that Central Parking is out of the picture for the next contract.
I wouldn't suggest the hiring prerogative be stripped away. I do think the current employees should get a preference. It would seem like the heads up play by any "new" contractor. The folks currently on staff know the ropes. Why start from scratch?
Hopefully, C.Lorrey's words will shush the naysayers that are stoking a witch hunt?
I'm not convinced on the wisdom of the idea (yet) but my bone to pick is that the Sun seemed to be making a legal declaration, not a judgment of opinion on wisdom. (If I'm wrong, what is meant then by 'jurisdiction'?)
Just to recall, what exactly was the company's error here? Obviously they had a thief, but did the company tarry in dealing with it? Did they not fully compensate the city?
I agree with Joe S, who seconded JC's comments. And Mr Lynne points out that Central Parking had made up the theft; which was committed by someone a City Employee recommended to them. And, I agree that a City Employee should not be recommending who to hire. That makes it look too much like a personal services contract, which is not good.
On another note, have I whined recently about a lack of "Print Preview" for comments? On the other hand, the availability of "BLOCKQUOTE" is good.
Regards — Cliff

Galion Factory : Michelin's recommendations
It is undeniable that a Hindu temple in the midst of a Martinique estate can seem incongruous. Such however is the sight at the Galion sugar factory, a testimony to the presence of Indian coolies on the island after the abolition of slavery. The estate belonged to Eugène Eustache who bought it in 1849, joining forces with engineer Émile Bougenot, to build this sugar factory, still in operation. The latter's influence on the local sugar economy was to be decisive.

This review is part of an eleven-car comparison of compact sedans. The Dart is ranked in fourth place of eleven.
It's been a while since Chrysler had a competitive small car. There was the Dodge/Plymouth Neon in the 1990s and the Chrysler PT Cruiser wagon in the early 2000s, but both were allowed to wither on the vine. Until the Dart appeared as a 2013 model, the automaker hadn't even sold a small sedan in the U.S. in eight years.
The Dart didn't quite make the same splash as those models at its launch, with sales staying fairly low for a mainstream brand even after Dodge gave it a series of upgrades for 2014. And while the issue isn't that the Dart is a weak product, it ended up as something of a niche car for buyers who value premium qualities over everyday economy-car versatility and value.
Although the Dart's purchase price is competitive, gas mileage from its powerful engine trails every competitor and many midsize sedans. And unlike the Volkswagen Jetta, interior volume isn't outstanding for a compact sedan.
Perhaps for Chrysler, it would have made more sense to stretch the Dart into a slightly longer vehicle and market it as a midsize car, where it would offer a more compelling value than the competition along with a solid feel and agile handling. But as it is, if you want a relatively fun and sophisticated small sedan and don't mind paying more at the pump for it, the Dart is a strong choice.
Feels premium
To be clear, the Dart is not a luxury car. But the driving dynamics and dashboard would be suitable for a larger and more expensive vehicle – still a nice mainstream car, but certainly one that's priced well above the $19,000 that you can expect to pay for a nicely equipped Dart.
The Dart has a nicely constructed interior with attractive and solidly fitting trim. Much of the dashboard is ordinary hard plastic, but the styling and tasteful amounts of varied materials keep it from looking dull or cheap.
Many Darts also come with an especially large 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which brightens up the instrument panel and is one of the industry's most user-friendly systems. Simple buttons and knobs are lower on the dash for quick adjustments, leaving the screen for more advanced settings and attractive displays.
The front seats are well-shaped and comfortable, and offer plenty of room. The rear is tighter – the cushion is comfortable, but there isn't a surplus of knee or head space. The trunk is class-competitive but unexceptional at 13.1 cubic feet. This is despite the Dart being the longest and widest car in this class.
Driving dynamics, though, will seal the deal for many Dart buyers. Based on the same platform as the award-winning Alfa Romeo Giulietta, it has impressively composed ride and handling for a small, affordable car. It feels confident without sacrificing comfort and refinement. Driving enthusiasts might still favor the livelier steering of a Mazda3, though.
Power is a strong point, though, coming from a big 2.4-liter four-cylinder engine with 184 horsepower, the best specs in this comparison. Dodge also offers two smaller, more fuel-efficient engines, but only on select models – a 2.0-liter on the base SE with much less power and only slightly better gas mileage, and a 1.4-liter turbo on the eco-focused Aero that lacks the everyday smoothness of the tested 2.4 or competing modern small sedans.
You pay, though, both for the Dart's big engine and for the car's weight. Fuel economy trails the competition with an EPA estimate of just 27 miles per gallon in mixed driving, with the typical small sedan doing more than 10 percent and the class's mileage leaders beating it by a whopping 7 mpg or 26 percent. These costs add up.
The Dart is at least a decent buy to purchase. Expect to spend $18,818 out the door for an SXT comparably equipped to the competition – with an automatic transmission; power windows, locks and mirrors; alloy wheels; Bluetooth connectivity; and an infotainment screen, as well as a rearview camera. That's a solidly competitive price for such a feature-laden compact car, especially in comparison to the Mazda3, its closest competitor for the driving enthusiast's dollar.
The Dart curiously avoids the mainstream qualities of space and fuel-efficiency that have crowned many a compact king. But for more power and sophistication than most competitors, it's a worthy contender for the right buyer.

While developing an application, I had the following problem. I wanted to return an empty
std::list<string> when a given function pointer was null, or the result of that function otherwise. This is a simplified version of my code:
typedef std::list<std::string> (*ParamGenerator)();
std::list<std::string> foo() {
/* ... */
ParamGenerator generator = ...;
return generator();
return {};
However, I usually like to use the ternary (
?:) operator in these cases, so I tried using it this way (as usual):
return generator ? generator() : {};
But got this error:
somefile.cpp:143:46: error: expected primary-expression before '{' token
somefile.cpp:143:46: error: expected ';' before '{' token
Does this mean I can't use the ternary operator to return objects created using their constructor from an
initializer_list? Is there any particular reason for that?

Many things are in store for Marvel this weekend. With Comic-Con pressing forwards, many fans are eager to see what Marvel Studio announces this weekend. While what Marvel Studios has in store remains a mystery, you can be sure that the upcoming Doctor Strange film will likely be mentioned. The movie has been all but confirmed with Scott Derrickson directing the movie, Joe Sapiths writing the script and Kevin Fiege very eager to produce the film. There are elements in the work for Strange, but the movie is still lacking its Sorcerer Supreme. There have been reports suggesting that Marvel has been looking at Benedict Cumberbatch and Tom Hardy to play the role. However, thanks to report from TheWrap, there is another name that Marvel is considering.
According the report, Marvel Studios is looking into Joaquin Phoenix to play the role of Doctor Strange. Joaquin Phoenix is indeed an actor of versatility. Phoenix is known for his role in Gladiator, Walk the Line, I'm Still Here, The Master and Her. In his career, the actor has been nominated for three academy awards. For Joaquin Phoenix to take up the role of Doctor Strange would be interesting. The actor has never been known for blockbuster, especially superhero films. Then again there is a first time for anything.
Though Phoenix is unfamiliar with this genre, that is not to say he could not pull off the role of the Master of the Mystic Arts. By just comparing images with the actor and the character, Joaquin could definitely pull off the appearance for Doctor Strange. Granted, looks alone can not make a character come to life. Fortunately though, Phoenix has proven time and again of being a diverse actor. Sure, Phoenix can be strange at times, but perhaps that is exactly what we need to see in a performance for Doctor Strange.
What do you think? Would you like to see Joaquin Phoenix play this mystical hero? Express your thoughts in the comments below. Stay tune for more updates on Doctor Strange.

JBW TO THOMAS CARLYLE; 27 April 1822; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18220427-JBW-TC-01; CL 2:91-92.
Haddington—Saturday [27 April 1822]
From a sheet of paper pretending to be a letter, that came to me some days ago, I learned to my great surprise, and satisfaction, that the wrecked Mr Carlyle has been restored sound in mind and body to his lamenting friends.
Truly Sir to my mind you have made a far more wonderful escape than Jonah did— Jonah during his three days visit to the deep, was snug in the capacious belly of a whale—whereas you have been actually swallowed up by the waves, for many weeks, without (as far as I know) getting into the inside of any fish whatever— You must have seen strange sights since our last meeting. I should be glad to know if the blue devils1 below water are any thing like those that we have here. I will thank you also to transmit to me the papers which you mention before you set out on your next voyage.
For some weeks past the clever people here have been without half their wits and the silly ones (that is to say every body except my Mother[,] Shandy, and myself[)] have been stark mad— Barnyards have blazed till the conflagration has spread over the brains of our whole community.2 It will be well if it does them no further mischief; for of all their possessions their wits will be the least missed.
I thank you for Cowper. He is a charming creature, and makes me laugh. but yet he is not a man according to my heart—oh no—I can not exactly tell my fault to him—I think he draws so larg[e]ly on my pity that I cannot spare him much of my admiration— I am in a terrible hurry My Mother has called on me half a dozen times since I began to write— I am going to the country but will be at home on Wednesday to rece[i]ve your expected communication [if] it is is convenient for you to write on that day—
Yours with humility / Jane Baillie Penelope3 Welsh

After Michael Strahan was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2014 on Saturday, Feb. 2, it was no surprise that Kelly Ripa and the staff of "Live With Kelly and Michael" would salute him when he returned to the morning talk show on Feb. 3.
Viewers were not disappointed.
Kelly and Michael did not make their entrance as usual. At the top of the show, Kelly was dressed in a Michael Strahan t-shirt. She shared the news that Michael had been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. Then Michael made his grand entrance, and the studio became filled with streamers, confetti, and balloons.
Michael was further honored as a football jersey with Michael's number 92 on it was raised to the rafters of the studio.
Later, a video was shown of Michael as he went about his daily activities on Saturday and his reaction as he waited with friends to receive the news about his inclusion into the Hall of Fame.
At the end of the show, a cake and champagne were presented to Michael.
This was Michael's second year of eligibility. He was overlooked last year, but Michael said he really wanted it this year since Super Bowl XLVIII was played where he used to play for the New York Giants.
Congratulations, Michael Strahan, for being inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2014!

Colorado Rocky Mountain High:
Pot Tourism Comes to the Centennial State
Netherlands--pot tourism is right here in the good old USA!
Since January 2014, a handful of tour operators and dozens of retail locations are now selling the evil weed to anyone over 21 who comes into their shops. Pot tourism is gaining popularity in Colorado, giving visitors and residents the chance to explore the state and smoke marijuana along the way.
Since the enactment of Amendment 64, signed back in May of 2013 in the state of Colorado, people age 21 and over can purchase and smoke marijuana. This has opened the doors to pot tourism, a unique way for marijuana enthusiasts to experience traveling Colorado.
What are Pot Tours?
They are exactly what the name suggests: Tours during which participants can smoke pot and learn more about it as well. These tours include limo rides, viewing cannabis gardens, and other pot-themed activities. With a designated straight-arrow limo driver, tourists can have fun and get as high as they like, with no fear of the blue lights flashing or other downers. It's all good in the great state of Colorado!
There are many tour groups already set up all over the state of Colorado--opportunities for people who wish to smoke marijuana, to do so with others while learning more about the new, legal marijuana industry.
Though they are new, as the first marijuana stores opened up on January first, Amendment 64 having been signed back in May, there are already a large number of these businesses popping up all over the state, with tours booking up weeks in advance.
What's in a Tour?
One tour group offering these excursions, Colorado Cannabis Tours, located in Denver, starts with a driver, who does not smoke during the tour, taking a small group of six to eight people out in a limo. Smoking along the way, the tourists get to visit marijuana dispensaries, view a glass pipe being made by a glassblower, walk through a cannabis garden, and get the chance to view the inner workings of the cannabis industry.
This fairly simple tour package is just the beginning for according to owner Michael Eymer, who says the business of pot tours is new, but growing in popularity. He added that the popularity is largely due to the appeal of being able to ride around in a limo and smoke legally with "like-minded people," something he says is a 'huge draw.'
The company currently has 120 limos at their disposal, and these Cannabis Tours take approximately three and a half to four hours, visiting several dispensaries, and most of the tourists getting 'pretty high' by the end of it, according to Eymer.
And if those patrons have the munchies, they don?t need to worry, because Colorado Cannabis Tours concludes their journey with a visit to Cheba Hut, a pot-themed sub shop.
Cheba Hut
"Dank," "Sticky Icky,"and "White Widow" are just three of the many names given to a variety of subs on the Cheba Hut menu. The restaurant serves ?'toasted" subs in three different sizes, "Nugs" (4 inch subs) "Pinners" (8 inch subs) and "Blunts" (12 inch subs). Along with sandwiches, the shop offers snacks, labelled as "munchies," places a pot leaf next to all vegetarian items on the menu and calls their beverages "Cotton Mouth Cures."
The sub shop has five different locations throughout Colorado, while also serving their uniquely named sandwiches in Arizona, Iowa, New Mexico, California Oregon and Wisconsin, with a total of 14 locations.
Cheba Hut was founded by Scott Jennings in 1998, and identifies as a 'counter-culture-themed restaurant franchise,' according to their website, with the tagline 'Cheba Hut: Where the only thing fried is the occasional customer.'
A Growing Industry
Though most Colorado tourism offices contacted did not return phone calls, a Visit Denver spokesperson, who asked her name not be used, said Visit Denver does not offer any pot tours.
Richard Scharf, president of Visit Denver and chairman of the Colorado Tourism Office, warned in 2013 that passage of the amendment could hobble the state's travel industry. Like the governor and most Colorado lawmakers, he was against the law.
"If Colorado receives international media attention as the first state in the U.S. to legalize marijuana in their Constitution, Colorado's brand will be damaged, and we may attract fewer conventions and see a decline in leisure travel," Scharf said.
After only one month after the legalization of recreational marijuana use, there is little evidence whether or not pot tours are a lucrative industry, but if you ask tour groups like Colorado Highlife, My420 Tours or Colorado Cannabis Tours, just because official tourism boards of the state have not yet jumped on the bandwagon does not mean it won't develop into a major draw for tourists.
Eymer said that the success of pot tours is not dependent on official tourism boards offering them. A quick search online will find you multiple opportunities to smoke legally while touring pot-themed attractions in the state of Colorado. As long as people want to smoke, Eymer says, and it is legal to, people are going to find their way to Cannabis Tours and other businesses like it.
"The tourism board can say what they want to about this industry and ignore it as much as they want for as long as they want, but everybody's got Google," he said, explaining that whether pot tours become a part of mainstream Colorado tourism or not, their business will continue to grow. My420 Tours said that they had 160 people signed up for their tours even before the law went into effect. They will grow even more, Eymer explained, as 4/20, the day that is unofficially known as a weed holiday among smokers, draws nearer.
Colorado Cannabis Tours is working on deals with large manufacturers, in order to tour their facilities. Another source of business for the pot tour entrepreneurs are officials from other states who want to see how the system works, since referendums are cropping up all over the country to bring the next legal state on board.
Alaska has a legalization measure already on tap for a vote this year. Study after study indicates that a majority of US citizens are in favor of legalization, and it's expected that in a few years many more states will join Colorado and legalize. Washington state voters legalized the drug as well in 2013 but the stores and tours there won't begin until June 2014.
Laying Down the Law
Though smoking pot is now legal in the state of Colorado, there are still plenty of ways that it is regulated and monitored. The laws are similar to those regarding alcohol. For example, it is illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana and only those 21 and older can purchase it or smoke it. Public consumption, however, is still illegal. It is legal to grow up to six pot plants in a secure, locked place, and to carry up to one ounce on you while traveling.
Unlike Napa Valley wine tours, however, out-of-state tourists to Colorado's pot retail stores won't be able to take home most products they purchase. "It remains illegal to take marijuana out of the state," said Michael Elliott of the Medical Marijuana Industry Group.
And because marijuana also remains on the Transportation Security Administration's list of prohibited items, Denver International Airport will enforce a new policy that bans pot throughout the airport.
So pot tourists--enjoy your buzz in the great state of Colorado, because you aren't taking it home with you.

ISS Expedition Duration 1
March 2013 - March 2014
Expeditions Assigned
Previous ISS Missions
The scientific instrument DIAPASON has been extensively and successfully tested on ground (several different ambient situations), but not in microgravity.
Experiment Description
Research Overview
The research is needed in order to improve the knowledge of the environment where we live, and to understand what pollutant elements are present (type, percentage…).
The resulting images of the collected nanoparticles provide qualitative and quantitative information and besides a chemical analysis can be carried out on them
The main goal of the research is to help provide a better and safer living and working environment. Safer industrial way of operations. Anticipation of potential safety problematic (for instance in the chemical plants, in the off-shore installations…).
DTM is investigating a scientific phenomena based on nano-particle migration and capture achieved by very small thermal gradients. The particle dimensions that can be "trapped" range from one micron to one thousandth of a micron. This range is very meaningful in many fields. Some examples are:
- Combustion verification and tuning of parameters in order to improve efficiency, increase fuel savings and reduce pollution.
- Hostile environment analysis and monitoring due to the instrument's capability to transmit acquired data via telemetry, and
- Prevention of pollution via analysis of atmospheric conditions, identification of contaminants, and calculation of percent concentration.

Space Applications
The experiment analyzes nanoparticles on the International Space Station by studying nanoparticle migration and capture with very small thermal gradients. A micro-pump draws particles into the instrument, where they are captured on grids for later analysis under an electron microscope. The particles range in size from 2 nm to 1 micron, which enables monitoring of combustion-generated pollution, the analysis of hostile environments, and the identification of atmospheric contaminants aboard station.
Earth Applications
DIAPASON is simple, light and rugged and could be used in a wide range of scenarios on Earth. It could monitor pollution in large cities, air quality in industrial environments such as chemical plants and electrical stations, and particles present in combustion facilities, nuclear power plants and offshore installations. Studies in microgravity will help technicians improve the instrument's design.
Operational Requirements
5 sessions required. Particles are collected in the instrument. Removal and study of the particles collected by the instrument are required.
Operational Protocols
Descriptive overview of the investigation on orbit procedures. During the long and very exhaustive cooperation between DTM and NASA before the utilization of Diapason onboard of ISS, a specific operational protocol has been conceived by DTM and fully tuned, taking into consideration all the constraints and consolidated rules of the crew aboard the ISS. During all the months of operation the test sequence has been repeated by following the specs without any difficulty, so we can say the activity with Diapason, performed mainly by the Italian astronaut Luca Parmitano, has been perfectly successful.

Secrets of Success
Wednesday, October 09, 2013
Hoping that maybe some blogging will help me stay on track. Over the past year, I've backslid a lot; not really a lot, but I have 15-20 pounds to lose, again. 20 pounds might be overboard. I'm going to weigh in tonight, I stepped on today after my workout and seen 163, but I'm not sure that's accurate. Went way overboard this weekend; had a family outing with my Dad and the kids at a pumpkin patch. Aside from the actual number on the scale, my main goal is to get back in my size 8 pants! Right now, I've got some 10, 12, and 14s I'm wearing. I'll say I'm an average 12, so I'd like to lose 2 pant sizes. As I've hit the big 3-0 in 2012, I've noticed my body likes to hold onto weight in my belly : ( not cool. So, I need to get everything under control before it's even harder to lose down the road. Probably not a great idea to try this right before all the holidays, but I need to.
Yesterday I decided I would do the 30 day shred again, since I had such great results the first time. I'm also hoping to do some light jogging, a few miles a week, nothing major. I'm going to follow the Self Drop 10 diet plan. I bought the book a while back and the recipes are great. Basically it's just eating a lot of super foods. 350 breakfast, 450 lunch, 450 dinner, 150 snack and 200 "happy" for anything. I think that's incredibly doable.
I did my first day of the shred today, good workout, got a bit sweaty. Only burned 260 calories or so, last time I did it I would burn about 350. I also went out and jogged until I hit 200 calories. My gps wasn't working so I'm not sure how far I got..probably 1.5 or so. It was only 16 minutes. But, it felt good to get out and do both workouts.
On par to meet my calorie goals today, including some shrimp tacos from my favorite mexican restaurant!
Some interesting news this evening, I got a call from Old Navy for an interview tomorrow. I worked there for seasonal in 2011, it wasn't too bad. I'm not super into it, but when I filled out the app I was very strict with the hours I want. So, I need to make sure to not succumb to the pressure and say I'll work any other hours. If I don't get it, not biggie. Could be cool though, mostly just the money part. I've been working 2 hours in the am 1 or 2 days a week for my friend at her dog grooming business. But, I'm pretty much just cleaning out kennels...not the funnest, but no customers, very laid back and I can just let her know if I can't come in. But, I feel like I want to dress up and interact with people a little more. And ON would be better on a resume I feel.
Other random news, Oct. 31st will be my husband's last day working as an E-7 40 minutes from home...he will then be a WO-1 (WO-2 by Feb. 1) and working 10 minutes away!!!! I'm so ecstatic about it. No traffic, and we'll be able to see an hour more of him each day! It will be much easier for him to make any of our boys' events too. I'm a happy girl. Everything else is going really great. As a refresher...we have three boys. Caden is 11, Brody 9, and Jamey is 4!! They really got big. Caden is 4" away from me and growing a little peach fuzz mustache! Off to Jr. High next year!
Okay, well hope I got everything up to speed. I'm really hoping to write a bit every day or so. It always helps to be able to tell people I don't know anything, lol. Enjoy your night.
Oh, I also went back to school. I'm going to school online, I'm a junior! So, that's interesting.

Dog owners have always known that their dog could pick their emotional signals and respond to happiness, sadness or even illness. Now, according to a report on NPR.Org, dated February 21, 2014, a neurologist from Budapest, Attila Andics, and his team have discovered how and why this happens. It is very similar to the way humans read another person's emotions.
In order to do the study, the dogs needed to undergo an MRI and anyone that has ever had a MRI knows that you have to be very still while inside the machine. That would not be a very easy feat for dogs, but the team of experts did indeed train the dogs to sit very still for nearly 10 minutes, and to wear head phones.
During the MRI the scientists played dog sounds, human voices and others sounds through the headphones on the dog that caused a small part of neurons to light up, much the same as the human brain had done when tested for this back in the 1990's.
Just like in the human brain, this voice detector area doesn't process words, but instead it processes the mood that is being heard in the voice or sound. According to the report, happy sounds made the area light up even more.
This is no secret to all the dog lovers out there. They know that their dog does in fact react to their mood, be it happy or sad. If Fido detects happiness in a voice he will react with a waging tail and an excited prance. Let his owner be sad or unhappy and Fido will nuzzle up and offer a paw or a lick to the face, possibly even washing away tears.
The team of scientists that tested the dogs discovered that this region of the dog's brain that detects emotion in other dogs and humans is located pretty close to the same area as the human brain. The breed of dogs chosen were border collies, labradors and golden retrievers, but it apparently has nothing to do with breed.
So, how else is a dog's brain similar to the human brain? Now that these dogs have been trained to sit through an MRI, scientists just may be finding out other secrets about the brain function of our furry friends. Dog owners have always stated that their pet "reads" their mood. Now, the next time someone disputes that, they can tell them it's been proven.

Howard Hayden [1]
Howard Hayden
- Ph.D., Physics, University of Denver. [1]
Howard C. Hayden is a retired professor of physics at the University of Connecticut [2]. [2] He is the editor of The Energy Advocate, a monthly newsletter promoting energy and technology. [3]
According to his profile at the Energy Advocate [3], Hayden's research focus was "ionic & atomic collisions; charge transfer, ionization, energy loss, energy-level crossings, ion-surface collisions, ion implantation, relativity considerations" and "energy for society."
Stance on Climate Change
According to Hayden, "The previous predictions about the horrendous warming the people expected has not come to pass… . so it's just pure garbage. There's no reason to believe any of it." [4]
The Energy Advocate, which Hayden edits, states [4]: "Perhaps there is global warming, and perhaps there is a human influence, and perhaps that is bad. But we are not on the global-warming bandwagon… . There is no credible evidence that the temperature rise of the last century is anything out of the ordinary, and even less that a warmer earth would be less habitable than it is now. Nor will we attempt to scare readers with sea-rise, for it amounts to only the thickness of a nickel per year, as it has for millennia." [5]
Key Quotes
"The sun is now cooling and the past 60 years have shown the highest solar activity in the last 1400 years. So, yes the sun is now cooling, it has been warmer, and we can expect some cooling. But there's also some change in the ocean currents that's periodic so there is expected to be some cooling within the next decade or so. And temperature history also shows that since January, 2001, the temperature of the Earth has basically held almost flat." [4]
Key Deeds
June 11-12, 2015
Howard Hayden was a speaker [5] on Panel 3: "Energy Realities [6]," at the Heartland Institute [7]'s Tenth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC10) in Washington, D.C., with Mark Mills and Kathleen Hartnett White. [15]

Howard Hayden was a speaker [8] at the Heartland Institute [7]'s Ninth International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC9) in Las Vegas, Nevada. [14]
DeSmogBlog has done in-depth research on the other speakers and sponsors from Heartland's ICCC9, which can be found here [9].
May 21 - 23, 2012
Howard Hayden was a speaker [10] at the Heartland Institute [7]'s 7th International Conference on Climate Change (ICCC7) [11].
DeSmogBlog researched the co-sponsors behind Heartland's ICCC7 [12] and found that they had collectively received over $67 million from ExxonMobil, the Koch Brothers [13]and the conservative Scaife family foundations [14].
March, 2009
Hayden was a speaker at the Heartland Institute's 2009 International Conference on Climate Change [15].
Of the 65 event sponsors, 16 of them collectively received over $40 million from oil companies, especially ExxonMobil, as well as from numerous right-wing foundations such as Koch Family Foundations [16] and Scaife Foundations [17].
October 27, 2009
Published a pro-energy letter [18] addressed to the EPA which argued that increased CO2 would be beneficial to man-kind. Below are some of Hayden's assertions: [6]
- "A warmer world is a better world. Look at weather-related death rates in winter and in summer, and the case is overwhelming that warmer is better."
- "The higher the CO2 levels, the more vibrant is the biosphere, as numerous experiments in greenhouses have shown. But a quick trip to the museum can make that case in spades. Those huge dinosaurs could not exist anywhere on the earth today because the land is not productive enough. CO2 is plant food, pure and simple."
- "CO2 is not pollution by any reasonable definition."
- "A warmer world begets more precipitation."
- "All computer models predict a smaller temperature gradient between the poles and the equator. Necessarily, this would mean fewer and less violent storms."
March, 2008
Hayden appeared on the Alex Jones show discussing "the global warming hoax." Among Hayden's assertions were that: "Yes, the polar ice caps are shrinking … on Mars." He also claimed that "Overall the total polar bear population has been holding steady or slightly increasing." [4]
December 13, 2007
Hayden was a signatory to a 2007 open letter [19] to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon that asserts "it is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages." The letter also concludes that "the IPCC's conclusions are quite inadequate as justification for implementing policies that will markedly diminish future prosperity." [7]
Spoke [20] at the 2002 Annual Meeting of Doctors for Disaster Preparedness on "The Solar Fraud." [8]
Natural Resources Stewardship Project (NRSP) [21] — Past "Allied Expert [22]." The NRSP [23] is now defunct. [9]
Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow (CFACT) — Member, Board of Academic and Scientific Advisors. [24] [10]
According to a search of 22,000 academic journals, Hayden has not published any research in a peer-reviewed journal on the subject of climate change.
In 1996, Hayden authored an article [26] stating that the science around the hole on the O-zone layer was "shaky."
Hayden is the editor and publisher of a monthly newsletter called the The Energy Advocate [27]. The Energy Advocate describes itself as "a cross between an educational blurb and a bottle of salsa. We make no apologies for being pro-science, pro-technology, pro-energy — and especially, pro-nuclear."
Hayden has also authored two books through Vales Lake Publishing, a business registered [28] by Hayden himself. His books are A Primer on CO2 and Climate (2007) and The Solar Fraud: Why Solar Energy Won't Run the World (2005). A Primer on CO2 discusses what Hayden believes are the major failures of current climate models. [11]
