The title says it all. Is it culturally acceptable (to the Japanese) for an American to visit the memorials to the victims of the atomic bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki? I realize that a Japanese person probably wouldn't tell me to leave, but would they think I was being rude or uncouth?
Here's an excerpt from Wikitravel:
Despite this and @MeNoTalk's comment, another interesting story by Kate Berardo on Culturosity.com demonstrates that you can't be certain that no one will care or direct resentment toward you, but the circumstances of the story suggest it may have been a little bit of bad timing and luck on the author's part. Besides, it was really just a few angry words with a sidelong glance; nothing an American traveling abroad shouldn't be prepared for almost regardless of where one chooses to go.
Regardless of what some others might think, my opinion as an American FWIW: if you want to go to learn about the consequences of the bombings, go with an open mind and sympathetic attitude – I will if I'm ever lucky enough to get the chance. There is a museum in Hiroshima dedicated to memorializing the victims and promoting peace. One of their English newsletters describes a visit from American students positively, demonstrating a welcoming reception by the museum staff and local students. If you want to visit Hiroshima to appreciate the rest of the city as well, more power to you. It certainly has much more to offer than war history. I'm sure the same is true of Nagasaki.
I would only advise against going with an attitude like this guy's; I suspect few will be particularly eager to hear contentious opinions about the bombings from an American perspective (especially not an ignorant one). Make your mission one of learning and receptivity to the local culture and perspectives, not one of "truthiness" or "keeping it real", and you should be fine. You've already got the right kind of attitude in asking open-mindedly and cautiously about how your presence might impact others; keep it up, and go in peace kimosabe.
[BTW, I would welcome any general counterarguments from the community. I'm not sure I'm the right guy to answer, having never gone.]
It's perfectly fine. I've been to both Hiroshima and Nagasaki in my (Japanese) high school trip including multiple sessions with hibakushas.
There is really no animosity in general. The emphasis of these museums and parks are solely on how horrible nuclear attacks and war is, and how we need to achieve world peace and eliminate all wars.
I think most Japanese would find it a good thing. Of course, you'll always be able to find people who disagree, but such views are rare IMO.
A quick scan of Wikivoyage's guide to Hiroshima sights indicate that memorials and museums to the attack have English-language information. If they didn't intend non-Japanese to visit the place, they wouldn't have such information.
I seriously doubt that they'd regard the USA differently from other non-Japanese countries in this context, even though the USA was the country that dropped the bombs, or even be able to tell whether you're an American versus a Canadian or an Australian.
I remember reading once about an atomic bombing victim who is a volunteer at some museum or memorial wanting to learn English so that he could relay his experiences to English-speaking visitors. Unfortunately, I can't find a link to it.
What may surprise you is that even museums at the other end of the "International Peace and Tolerance" spectrum have some support for English, and therefore expect foreigners to visit. The Yasukuni Shrine, which hosts the spirits of those who died for the Emperor in war, is criticised for including the spirits of Class A war criminals, and for its nationalist take on history. And yet, there are limited English-language explanations within the museum, and also has an English-language pamphlet. And this far-right blogger mentions foreigners visiting the shrine, including those involved in war.
Update 2016: Is it ok for Americans to visit the memorials?
Absolutely not an issue. Just to give a first-hand perspective (though the other 2 answers both excellently cover the 'why not'), I visited the Nagasaki Atomic Bomb Museum and the Peace Park a few years back, and at no point did I feel any ill-will or awkwardness. As with any similar place as long as you are respectful you are welcome - the staff were as polite and welcoming as one would expect of a Japanese visitor centre or attraction.
It's a sobering experience, but one well worth doing regardless of nationality.
As far as I see it, it won't hurt any Japanese citizen's feelings if you visit the Hiroshima & Nagasaki memorials. It rather depicts some sign of empathy towards the victims (unless you end up doing some random foolish act at a place of such deep meaning for the natives).
First off, you as an individual, are not accountable for a decision made by your country's then president some 70 years ago. Of course, it was a bitter experience for the natives but I don't suppose they would feel culturally hurt for it.
For an analogy, as an Indian, I don't hold every tourist from the UK accountable for say, the Jallianwala bagh massacre. Or rather, would you feel culturally hurt, if some Japanese visits the Pearl Harbour memorial, or for that matter, a middle-eastern the WTC memorial? Hopefully not.

Wisdom, justice and skill in science, engineering and technology: Are the objectives of the Athena Project mythology?
"Advancing Athena?" was the title of the meeting held at the Royal Society, London, on 25th October 2007 which brought together Committee members and scientists to celebrate the achievements of the Athena Project.
From the left: Dr Nancy Lane, Chair of the Athena Project; Caroline Fox, Athena Project Programme Manager; Professor Dame Julia Higgins, past Chair of the Athena Project
The Athena Project was established in 1999 to reverse the consistent loss of women employed in science, engineering and technology (SET) at each stage of academia and increase the representation of women in senior posts in higher education. Chaired by Professor Dame Julia Higgins and Professor Nancy Lane, and Programme Manager Caroline Fox, the Athena Project was initially funded by a UK-based consortium including government bodies and funding councils, and has since gathered additional support from private companies and learned societies. Statistics show that women account for 64% of biology graduates and 61% of post-graduates, significantly exceeding the number in physical sciences1. However, only a minority of this pool are represented at senior level in higher education (at professorial level less than 10% are women), on committees or as recipients of prizes1-4. This leads to the uncomfortable realisation that, proportionally speaking, the biological sciences are particularly bad at retaining female graduates as career researchers. Although 2007 marks the end of the Athena Project in its present form, key aspects which have proved successful in promoting career advancement of women in SET (ASSET and the Athena SWAN awards) will continue via the Athena Forum. The Athena Forum, located at the Royal Society for at least the next two years, will provide a strategic oversight of developments. The founder members of the Athena Partnership, the Institute of Physics (IOP), the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), and the UK Resource Centre for Women in SET, have already started work on a benchmarking toolkit based on existing work by Athena, IOP and RSC. The partnership will be opened up to other professional societies later in 2008.
The Athena Project conducted three benchmarking exercises (ASSET surveys 2003 to 2006) which chronicled the career experiences of 13,000 male and female scientists working in higher education and research in UK4. From these data the Athena Project concluded that "women were as ambitious as men, were as academically and research active, but did not make it to the top in the numbers that reflected their contribution to science" suggesting that the poor retention of female researchers could be related to the academic culture. Speakers referred to ASSET and surveys from EU and USA which identified the transition between post-doc and tenured researcher as the most significant point at which we are losing our potential (female) science talent2, 4-7. This leads to a growing inequality in age-related salary for male and female researchers. Furthermore, the lack of women in more senior positions could be related to a lack of transparency on committees for promotion, recruitment and prizes, and Professor Teresa Rees encouraged everyone to ask "who decides this, why are they there and how do they make their decisions?". The ASSET data gathering initiative continues to be a core element of Athena in informing evidence-based positive action having indicated that research culture, networking and provision of child care were crucial to retention of women. The Athena Partnership hopes to run the next UK ASSET survey in 2009.
By actively engaging with higher education institutions to understand employment and cultural practices common to the scientific environment, the Athena Project team has developed good-practice guidelines (Box 1). Initially devised for use in Chemistry departments, good practice such as establishing mentoring and networking have widespread relevance. Professor Shirley Pearce (Vice Chancellor, Loughborough) spoke about their approach which included establishing SET professors as role models and mentors, skilled managers, rewarding teamwork and an HR strategy of dignity and respect for all. The University of Oxford established that employment of women in SET occurred in proportion to the number of applications and hence the under-representation could be addressed by encouraging women to apply for senior posts and taking measures to dispel views that appointments go to "old boys networks".
Box 1: Key issues supporting retention of women
The "Women Professors Group" has been established at Cardiff University to provide mutual support where there may only be one female professor in the Department, and Imperial College hosts the DAPHNET mailing list. Such initiatives have had immediate effects in making women in SET feel less isolated.
Both Professor Julia Higgins and Prof Alison Richard (Vice Chancellor, Cambridge) stressed the importance of women engaging our male colleagues in discussions of retention issues, especially as these tend to be the people with the power to make cultural changes (Box 1). While the anecdotes of the astrophysicist Prof Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell about her early career in a male-centric environment where a woman's place was considered to be a man's secretary should be a thing of the past, it was disappointing to learn that female researchers working in a predominantly male, engineering environment have to employ coping strategies that often conflict with the aims of Athena (Box 2). Achieving cultural change also relies on women supporting women, especially those who have succeeded within a male-dominated work ethos. Hopefully the future will include social and cultural changes which will remove this need to conform to a (perceived) male role as organisations embrace diversity by understanding how differences in approach can benefit the organisation.
The Athena SWAN Charter for good practice developed from an idea which came originally from the conference which launched London Metropolitan University's Scientific Women's Academic Network and was initially worked up by Network members. The Athena SWAN Charter and recognition scheme now has an independent existence. It is funded jointly by the UK Resource Centre for Women in SET and the Equality Challenge Unit and is based at the ECU's Lincolns Inn Fields Office (athenaswan.org.uk). All UK universities can become members of the Athena SWAN Charter by implementing what might be relatively minor operational changes to alter attitudes and culture, thereby becoming eligible for the Athena SWAN Awards. The Awards at bronze, silver and gold recognise progress in five key areas (Box 3). These range from recognition of gender inequalities in the institution to actively managing structural obstacles to career building (like short term contracts or preserved culture of male-dominated departments). During the Athena Conference at the Royal Society the first Athena SWAN Gold award was presented to Profs Ottoline Leyser and Paul Walton on behalf of the Chemistry Department, University of York. In 2007 Prof Leyser received the Royal Society's Rosalind Franklin Award for her proposal on how to combine a research career and a family.
Incremental progress and adoption of many of the best practice models will make balancing work and life easier for all employees, and expand the choice of how we manage our lives. The point of maximum investment of time in developing a scientific reputation essential to career building corresponds directly with the usual period of child rearing6-8. This results in compromises in career development or postponement of a family until tenure is established. In US, married women were 18 % less likely to assume a tenure-track position than unmarried women7. In addition, the lack of part-time working in SET departments, implications of a career break (including how it is viewed by potential employers) and requirements to spend considerable periods of time abroad are cited as the main concerns of women combining a scientific career with being the primary child-carer. It is notable that a high proportion of women in top jobs women are childless or delay having a family. In US, it was found that having a baby within 5 years of a PhD makes a women 38% less likely than a man to achieve tenure6,7.
Box 2: A woman in a man's world: Coping strategies of females in SET (taken from ESRC study 2004)
Possibly the most innovative of supportive schemes is that implemented at Imperial College and UC Berkeley where women returning after maternity leave are allowed to shed teaching and administration duties for a defined period to enable them to re-establish their research. This is the type of good practice that could be applied to both men and women returning after a career break. Many women in senior academic posts cite supportive partners as a critical factor contributing to their success. Prof Julia Higgins, speaking in the New Scientist Careers Guide (2008), considers that science is becoming more family friendly now because more young men want flexible working to enable them to spend more time with their families. However, both men and women fulfil parenting roles and family-friendly policies initially targeted at retaining women will also benefit men by enabling them to choose to give greater amount of their time to care-giving roles.
Box 3: Key areas for SWAN Charter recognition
There are still challenges to be overcome by those aspiring to the "University of Utopia"9 where provision of daycare, flexible working and job share schemes, and transparency in promotion systems to recognise the entirety of the job including coaching and teaching roles are the norm. Two of the most significant are "the double body problem" (where both spouses are scientists with the consequential difficulties in finding two research positions at the same institution) and the addressing of unconscious bias when assessing the achievements of men and women4. Prof Alison Richard spoke of recent findings indicating that both men and women hold unconscious biases which can be exhibited unwittingly by even the most supportive of colleagues. Letters of recommendation contained disproportionate use of terms such as "his career", "his research" and "his publications" for men but "her teaching" and even "her personal life " were used more frequently for women5, 10. In a culture when so much advancement is reliant on personal recommendation we should all be concerned that the way we use language can vary in a sex-dependent manner. There are many other examples and recognising this subtle problem requires much greater interaction with social scientists to gather evidence necessary to influence policy.
Athena has gained international recognition for its achievements in obtaining evidence, setting goals and rewarding good practice, and representatives have been invited to contribute to symposia at the American Association for the Advancement of Science in 2005 and 2008. In the USA it is becoming apparent that the same "leaky pipeline" identified for female researchers is operating for ethnic minorities11. In UK, an Athena SWAN Charter workshop is planned for March 2008 to promote best practice, and other smaller events are planned to take place regionally. With continuing support from the Resource Centre for women in SET and the Equality Challenge Unit the Athena SWAN awards are set to become a recognised scheme for UK employers. Perhaps now is the ideal opportunity for the Biosciences Federation or Institute of Biology to join the Athena Partnership to improve our ability to retain qualified biologists? Let's hope it is not too long before there is a biology department with an Athena SWAN gold award - York (Biology) and Bristol (Biochemistry) already have a silver so the race is on if UK universities want to attract the cream of the research talent.

Box 4:
The Athena Project closed down in December 2007 after ten successful years. Looking back the Committee did what we set out to do, which was to make change happen. We provided the leadership, we identified and encouraged good practice. Every one of the examples of the good practice that we have disseminated is working in one or more university and or science department somewhere in the UK.
With the framework that is in place for the future, ASSET, Athena SWAN, the Athena Forum and Athena Partnership, we have reduced the opportunities for backsliding, but the jury is out on whether it is enough to engage the universities and science societies who remain largely on the sidelines.

Cody Daily doubled and scored in the eighth to cut the deficit to 6-4.
May 3, 2013
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. - Southern Illinois dropped the first game of its series at Purdue 6-4 Friday night at Alexander Field. After the Boilermakers (14-27) built a 5-0 fourth inning lead, the Salukis (21-25) fought back to bring the tying run to the plate in each of the last four innings.
"The difference in the game is our complete lack of defensive effort in the first four innings," SIU Coach Ken Henderson said. "I don't think we should've given up a run."
Purdue scored four runs in the bottom of the second inning to take a 4-0 lead. The rally started with one out when Kyle Wood singled to right field. Kyle Johnson then singled past shortstop Ryan Rosthenhausler, and Cody Strong singled past first baseman Ryan Casillas who mistakenly went to cover the base instead of fielding the ball.
Strong's single scored Wood, and Johnson scored on a sacrifice bunt. Brandon Krieg followed with a two-run home run to cap the four-run rally.
"We gave them extra outs in the second inning because we didn't make a couple routine plays," Henderson said. "If you give any team that many outs, they're going to score. I thought they were routine plays."
The Boilers added an unearned run on a ball Rosthenhausler mishandled in the fourth.
In the fifth inning, Henderson replaced Rosthenhausler and Casillas with Brock Harding and Derek Trovillion. That provided a spark to the offense as both replacements came through with key hits.
"Our effort from that point forward was very good," Henderson said. "Guys woke up a little bit and got after it. I'm extremely proud of our effort. We could've quit right there, but we didn't."
After surrendering a run in the bottom of the fifth, SIU went back to work in the sixth with two more runs to cut the deficit to 6-3. Matt Jones led off the inning with a solo home run. However, the Salukis left the bases loaded in the inning and stranded seven runners in the final four frames.
"I thought we had a great offensive night," Henderson said. "It doesn't look like it because we only got four runs off 15 hits, but we just didn't get any breaks. We got the tying run to the plate and had good ABs. It just didn't work out. "
SIU starter Cody Forsythe allowed six runs in six innings of work to take the loss, dropping his record to 2-4 on the season. One of the runs against him was unearned.
"Cody deserved a lot better," Henderson said. "I think he got frustrated. He's thrown well all year and doesn't have much to show for it. I thought he threw well again today."
Lee Weld also pitched well out of the SIU bullpen. He tossed two scoreless, hitless innings and struck out two batters to keep the Salukis within striking distance.
"Lee Weld was obviously outstanding," Henderson said. "He threw up two zeroes for us and continued to give our offense a chance."
The series will continue on Saturday night with another 6 p.m. Central Time first pitch.

Yongda Block Trade Signals Rising Competition Among Bankers
There are signs that Hong Kong's share sale market is picking up from its drought days of recent months, but for bankers, there's still little joy. An ongoing block trade worth US$50 million in China Yongda Automobiles Services Holdingsby an existing shareholder has three bookrunners on the deal.
That's the second time a deal this small has had so many bankers, at least in the past three years. In recent years, every Hong Kong block trade that raised less than US$100 million had, at most two bookrunners, according to Dealogic. Another exception was a $66 million share sale by railway systems developer China ITS (Holdings) in January, 2011 which had three bookrunners — Bank of America Merrill Lynch , China Construction Bank Corp and Macquarie Group.
In Wednesday's placement of shares in the Chinese car maker, Sun Moon China Investment Co. is selling shares in a price range of HK$7.90-HK$8.20. It has appointed Bank of American Merrill Lynch, UBS AG and HSBC Holdings Plc to handle the sale, according to a term sheet seen by the Wall Street Journal. It didn't say how many shares would be sold, by Sun Moon China is a vehicle owned by Yongda Chairman Cheung Tak On's brother-in-law. The shares are being sold at a 8%-12% discount to their Wednesday close of HK$8.94.
Block trades can be lucrative because they are done in a short time frame, even though fees are lower than that for IPOS. Bankers tend to charge around 0.75%-1.25% of the deal for a block trade, against up to 3-4% for IPOs in Hong Kong. But a block trade also carries more risk for bankers, who have to underwrite the share sale and can't scrap it, as they do with IPOs, if demand is insufficient.

I am doing something in my life that I never thought I would do (even two years ago). I am acting and modeling! When I turned 41, I thought that I might take a stab at 40-plus modeling. I grew up believing that I was fat and ugly. I was the nerd in the glasses — always getting A's and B's, my face always in a book. I was even a library helper in elementary school! By the time I hit my 30s, I slowly but surely became more comfortable in my own skin.
I wasn't quite sure where to begin, but I figured, what do I have to lose? I started out by reaching out to photographers on Model Mayhem. I was lucky to meet those who wanted to do a TFP/CD (trade for print/CD). Then I can have images to build my portfolio. So far, so good.
I tried to find an agency in Seattle to represent me. How hard could that be, right? Since I am only 5'5," it was more of a challenge than I had hoped. At one agency, the rep gently suggested that I should try acting. I wasn't quite sure how to take that, but I thought about it. Why not? I look good for my age, and I love being in front of the camera. Now what do I do?
I looked for acting lessons. That led me to my first class —improv! It turned out to be way more than I could have ever imagined. Not only did it give me confidence that I lacked, it also made me realize that: A. I was funny B. I have pretty decent timing, and C. it was a weekly playdate with so many amazing and talented adults. I knew I was on the right track; I also quickly became addicted to laughter and applause.
I continued working with photographers and taking acting lessons. I knew I had to work hard and network, network, network. I also submitted myself to any gig that I felt would be a good match. Indies looking for extras, student films, and infomercials just to get myself out there. I also did more modeling shoots. I have been pretty lucky because I have met and worked with so many creative people who are passionate and dedicated to the arts. I may not always be happy with some of the final results of shoots; I just do my best and try to turn everything into a new learning experience.
I guess what I am trying to say is that ANYTHING is possible. No dream is too big to pursue if you want it enough. Having the love and support of your family, friends and peers? Priceless!

A Minneapolis City Council panel on Tuesday approved changes to regulations governing ride-share services like UberX and Lyft.
New language would add city oversight to the fast-growing but largely unregulated ride-sharing industry. The panel also voted to ease city rules on taxis.
The proposed changes will go to the full Minneapolis City Council for a possible vote next week.
•Uber, Lyft ride share programs put Mpls. council in tight spot
•Ride apps shake up Twin Cities transportation
Council member Abdi Warsame said the city will watch for problems.
"We will tweak it here and there, but at least now we have a regulated service coming into the city of Minneapolis," Warsame said, adding that approval of the changes by the full city council would create a "level playing field" for taxi companies.
The ordinance amendments would let taxi companies use older cabs, allow cab drivers to park at city meters and reduce annual vehicle inspections from two to one.
The ride-share services, also, known as transportation network companies, would pay an annual license fee of $35,000 as well as a $10,000 wheelchair surcharge.
That money would help the city offer incentives and waivers to cab companies with wheelchair accessible vehicles. Taxi operators would have to pay $20 per vehicle as a wheelchair surcharge.
While cab companies and drivers said they were happy with the changes, they argued that the ordinances essentially give separate sets of rules to companies working in the same industry.
"All the items we're heavily regulated on still exist," said Steve Pint, president and CEO of Taxi Services Inc. "There's been some concessions to those regulations, but nominal."

Ever since I can remember, when my mother would take me with her in Vandalia's U.S. Post Office, I have enjoyed and, been interested in, the large mural on the north wall over the postmaster's door.

Love, caring and good wishes came in with guests for our early "countdown to Valentine's Day celebration." We are meeting on the first Monday of each month during the winter season.
Turning to the stage, leader Beulah Brown welcomed the SoftFire duo of David and Patricia Pence from Hillsboro. Their musical theme was also centered on love – a tribute to Valentine's Day.

In answer to inquiries
Betsy, the sweet little senior longhorn cow, has gone on to ever-greener pastures.
She held her head up, never stopped eating or drinking and never seemed to be in pain; she simply lay down next to the hayrack and wouldn't get back up. Bill tried to help her up, but she wouldn't make any effort.
Dr. Bristow prescribed aspirin for her and suggested warm water to drink. Bill provided her good shelter to shield her from rain, snow and wind, plus a warm blanket.

Hey Girls!
As a teen on a budget I am always trying to find some bargain fashion items online and in store. I love a good bargain so I thought I would share some of my favorite websites that have both fashionable and affordable clothing, shoes and accessories!
Yes that's right. Everything on this website is just £5 ! Some of you are probably thinking "Oh they're probably really cheap clothes that look horrible!" WRONG WRONG WRONG. This website in my opinion matches high street brands such as TopShop and RiverIsland. Their clothes are amazing quality, bang on trend and affordable!
I first discovered BooHoo.com a few years ago on the back of my weekly magazine. It wasn't very popular when I first found it; they had limited stock and barely any clothes online. Now it is one of the biggest fashion websites online today and it still has amazing affordable clothes! They are on trend and super cute!
Select is such an awesome website I can't even begin to tell you! I don't know how I came across this website but let's just say I'm glad I did! Their clothes are super cute, affordable and they have awesome sales on! They also help you to achieve celebrity looks!
Ah NewLook. My favorite high street clothing store! The NewLook website is always having awesome online sales so if you are looking for a bargain, go check their website out! I love how their clothes are amazing quality and affordable too!
MATALAN! I absolutely love Matalan! I mainly love them for their sales but even when there isn't a sale on I always manage to find something super cute! They have such a wide range of clothes that there is really and truly something for everyone! From summer to winter , to party to wedding, you want it, they have it!
And there you have it! My top 5 favorite fashion sites! Comment down below and let me know what your favorite site/store is !

Lambda Q&A Panel
By Caroline Kvitka-Oracle on Oct 06, 2014
Stuart Marks, principal member of technical staff at Oracle, facilitated a fantastic discussion about lambda expressions during JavaOne. A panel of gurus offered their diverse perspectives and answered questions about lambdas submitted via Twitter. The panel included Maurice Naftalin, principal developer at Morningside Light; Brian Goetz, Java language architect at Oracle; Raoul-Gabriel Urma, a PhD candidate at the University of Cambridge; David Blevins, founder of Tomitribe; and Trisha Gee, Java engineer at MongoDB.
The panel opened with Urma, Naftalin, and Goetz discussing the inclusion of functional programming features, via lambdas and streams, into the Java language. The inclusion of these features allows Java developers access to these features without changing the nature of the language itself, they said.
Gee then described how MongoDB is moving toward the inclusion of lambdas and streams without losing compatibility with earlier versions of Java. This can be accomplished, she said, by exposing single-method interfaces and stream-like APIs, which both allow and encourage those using the library to use these new features without requiring the library itself to be compiled against older versions of Java.
Later, the discussion turned to when it is and is not appropriate to use lambdas. The panelists discussed how passing blocks of code longer than a single line into a lambda expression can easily make the lambda expression difficult to read and maintain. Method references allow the use of lambdas in these situations without reducing code clarity.
Because the Stream API makes parallelism so easy to implement, there is a great concern that it will be overused. "The problem with parallelism is that it's too easy. You can just plunk it in there, and people see it as a magic incantation for extra speed," said Gee. The panel quickly reached consensus that initially people will overuse it, and that there is no substitute for proper testing and benchmarking in a production-like environment. Goetz also pointed out that there is an extreme focus on performance, and reminded the audience that there is no reason to even think about performance tuning unless there is a business reason to do so. Frequently, the simple and easily understood code runs fast enough to meet the requirements, he said.
The conversation also ventured into the weaknesses in the current lambdas feature, mostly around exceptions. Checked exceptions do not play well with lambdas. One suggestion was simply to make the lambda expression throw an exception. Goetz explained that this was considered in the crafting of the spec. He said it is really a bad idea; it would require every lambda expression to be surrounded by a try-catch block, the catch statement must catch all exceptions, and the loss of precision should make us all "feel dirty." Another potential problem is exception reporting; stack traces involving lambdas can be quite confusing to those not familiar with them.
The discussion closed with the panelists encouraging the audience to use Java 8—even if it is only in nonproduction situations, such as writing tests. They also pointed out that many Java developers will be learning a new programming paradigm and that they shouldn't avoid using these features just because they don't want to make mistakes.

You can watch the arrival of the three new crew members to the International Space Station Thursday night on NASA-TV. Coverage of the event will begin at 7 p.m. Thursday. The Soyuz spacecraft is scheduled to dock with the space station at 7:58 p.m. Afterwards, coverage will resume at 10:15 p.m. for the hatch opening at 10:40 p.m. Thursday. The new crew members launched from Baikonur Cosmodrome in Kazakhstan Tuesday at 5:17 p.m., and include Soyuz Commander Alexander Skvortsov and Flight Engineer Oleg Artemyev of the Russian Federal Space Agency, and Flight Engineer Steven Swanson of NASA. Dr. Swanson also flew on Space Shuttle missions STS-117 and STS-119, and has over 25 hours of EVA experience from four spacewalks.
The Soyuz TMA-12M spacecraft was expected to dock with the space station Tuesday, but that had to be put off until Thursday. NASA says an initial investigation points to a problem with the spacecraft being in the correct orientation for the automated thruster burn to place it in "…perfect position to dock with the space station." Meanwhile, Russian flight controllers confirmed Wednesday that the Soyuz systems "…appear to be functioning normally."
The three crew members who launched this week will join three other crew on the space station, who include Commander Koichi Wakata of the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, and Flight Engineers Rick Mastracchio of NASA and Mikhail Tyurin with Roscosmos. They have been aboard the station since November, and will return to Earth in May. At that time, NASA's Swanson will assume command of the space station's Expedition 40.

This is a SoFoBoMo book. SoFoBoMo as in "Solo Photo Book Month". SoFoBoMo is no contest, there is nothing to win but experience, there is no competition, though it still has rules.
The idea is, to make a photo book in a month. Alone. That's what "Solo" stands for. Making means everything from shooting and processing the images, bringing them into a sequence, arranging them in a layout, and finally creating a PDF. That's it. Produce a PDF and you're done. Of course there is nothing that prevents you from going all the way to a printed book. This is mine for 2009.

Lenny Kravitz: My 5 Favorite Prince Songs
Singer-songwriter picks key tracks by his late idol and mentor
Lenny Kravitz survived the ridicule of being called "Mr. (Lisa) Bonet" and the scorn of critics who accused him of being a derivative neohippie to forge a successful career making anachronistic, soul-inflected, '60s-style rock for the '90s.
The only child of white TV producer Sy Kravitz and black actress Roxie Roker (of TV's The Jeffersons), Kravitz spent the first 10 years of his life in Manhattan, then moved with his family to L.A., where his first musical experience came in the California Boys Choir. He taught himself guitar, bass, piano, and drums. Kravitz attended the exclusive Beverly Hills High School (classmates included Saul Hudson, later Slash, and Maria McKee), where he adopted the David Bowie-inspired, wild-party persona Romeo Blue. In 1985 Kravitz met actress Lisa Bonet of TV's The Cosby Show. They were married in 1987 and had one daughter, Zoe, before separating in 1991; their divorce became final two years later.
Let Love Rule displayed Kravitz's voice, which sounded uncannily like Elvis Costello's, and his retro-rock style, which sounded uncannily like all sorts of people —The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix. While reviews were mixed, the album sold fairly well (#61, 1989), and the title track reached #89 in 1990.
In 1990 Kravitz started writing and producing chores with Madonna on her "Justify My Love." A year later Prince discovery Ingrid Chavez (who costarred in his Graffiti Bridge) sued, claiming she had co-written the song with Kravitz. He admitted to having worked with Chavez, but maintained that they agreed to keep her role in writing that song "private." The matter was eventually settled out of court. The rhythm track, meanwhile, had been sampled from a Public Enemy song.
In January 1991, as tensions in the Persian Gulf mounted, Kravitz hastily recorded an all-star cover of John Lennon's "Give Peace a Chance" (#54), with guitar work by Slash and vocal and video appearances by two dozen other artists, including Yoko Ono, Sean Lennon, Bonnie Raitt, Peter Gabriel, Run-D.M.C., L.L. Cool J and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.
Mama Said (#39, 1991) sold better than its predecessor, with the polished Curtis Mayfield-style "It Ain't Over Til It's Over" hitting #2, his highest-charting single to date. In 1993 Kravitz released Are You Gonna Go My Way

Singer-songwriter picks key tracks by his late idol and mentor
"I'm looking forward to playing with them and celebrating them coming back together," singer says
"Here was an African-American cat, skin color like mine, playing the guitar like I wanted to play," says Kravitz
"Love has to be the final outcome of every situation," says seasoned singer-songwriter
"I'm concerned about this on every level for everybody," singer says. "It's not just 'Pray for Paris' — it's 'Pray for the world'"

We frugal foodies have unique challenges that normal shoppers don't. This little segment aims to help by offering:
- Stockpile-cooking ideas
- Clever Casseroles in which to hide your leftovers from the hubby & kids
- Kitchen tips & tricks
- Freezer-cooking recipes & planning
- And really, everything but the kitchen sink!
Our very own "Deal Detective Kim" has generously offered to take the lead on this one (aspiring food writer that she is) – but start thinking up a recipe YOU often turn to, because we'll be asking for some contributions to keep this new weekly segment running!
And now, I'll turn it over to you Kim!
Mexican Food
Chicken Enchiladas:
- A couple of cups of cooked, shredded chicken–use what you have, it doesn't matter what part of the chicken it came from.
- Sour cream–about a cup
- Shredded cheese–about 2 cups, divided. If you like it mild, one of the Mexican blend is good, I like to use Pepper Jack inside & mild Mexican blend on the top.
- Diced onion, 1/4 to 1/2 cup. If you want them really soft, cook it for a couple of minutes in a skillet with some oil.
- Chili powder, cumin, and dried cilantro–about a tablespoon EACH. (Or you could substitute one of those envelopes of taco seasoning!)
- Salt, to taste
- A package of tortillas–I prefer the flour ones for this but it's your food
- A can or jar of enchilada sauce. (These vary widely in taste and thickness. Find what you like and stick with it.)
Make-Your-Own Taco Stand:
Mexican Lasagna:
- Brown 1 lb. ground beef and 1 medium onion, chopped, in a skillet.
- Drain off any excess grease
- add an envelope of taco seasoning mix, and whatever amount of water the envelope calls for
- Cook it down as you would for tacos. Meanwhile, spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray and preheat the oven to 375 degrees.
- Line the bottom of the dish with tortillas; you can either overlap them or cut to fit.
- When the meat and taco seasoning is cooked down, add a DRAINED can of Ro-Tel tomatoes and stir.
- Spoon half the mixture on top of the tortillas, drizzle taco sauce over it, then shredded cheese–either a Mexican blend, some cheddar, whatever you like/have.
- Repeat the layers and bake until it's hot and bubbly, about 40 minutes or so.
- The following are optionals you could put in: guacamole, beans, black olives, jalapeno slices. You could crunch up some tortilla chips right under the top layer of cheese.

Why I love teaching at Taylor:
At Taylor I can introduce students to text, ideas, and issues about which I care and invite them to discuss these. Frequently, this has involved being in London or Ireland or Singapore or Kenya where different settings and cultures challenge us. As a Christian, I care about expressions and behaviors involving justice and truth.
Advice to incoming students:
Come with an open mind to learn more about the nuances of God's truth and the beauty of His creation. Remember that since you are made in His image, you are also called to create as well as to tend nature and social needs. Read widely, think deeply, and learn to express yourself effectively.

Based on the cactus representation of minimum cuts, it would seem that for a graph with $n$ vertices and edge-connectivity $c$, where $c$ is odd, that the maximum number of min-cuts is something like $n$ or $n-1$. (This is clearly true for $c = 1$).
I just want to confirm that this is correct? Is there are any reference that lays this out clearly?

TC TO JEAN CARLYLE AITKEN; 8 December 1848; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18481208-TC-JCA-01; CL 23: 171-172
Chelsea, 8 decr, 1848—
Dear Sister,
Here is a Letter from Alick; which has been at Scotsbrig, and opened there, where it was immensely longed for; being now read here, I forward it to Dumfries without delay. Alick ought to send our Mother a Newspaper weekly; that would be the far best method: I think I must write to him today, recommending that.
We never understood till last night, when the Standard Newspaper came,1 that there was any dangerous epidemic of cholera at Dumfries:2 the disease has been here for many weeks, but is in the highest degree insignificant, and except for the talk made of it in the Newspapers, would never be heard of. A Note of yours to my Mother had given us a somewhat similar impression about Dumfries; but here are two new Letters of yours, this morning, one to Isabella, one to John, which disclose to us a very different state of matters! The most comforting circumstance we can hitherto gather is, that you do not seem to be thrown into panic by it: panic, nobody doubts, is an immense aggravation to the danger; and it really would be wise if Doctors, who can do so very little towards defence against the malady, would at least carefully forbear agitating people's minds about it. That of the "hearses" in your street, for example, I consider to be a real crime against the public.— Keep up your hearts, do calmly your duties as if there were no cholera there,—death is always and has always been there; and we shall not die a moment before our time, were a hundred choleras there!— — Our Doctors say, great things can be done, and the disease is generally curable, if you can take it at the very first. Here are a dozen cholera pills which were advised upon us here;3 I know they are at least entirely harmless, and must have a tendency in the right direction: feeling properly, any tendency to purge, oftenest without pain any twinge of cholic or griping in the bowels, one has to swallow one of these,—or a drop of sound brandy, or anything that you know will tend to check that affair; if at once checked, all is understood to be safe again. I stick in the poor little box: no ill in it, if little good! And pray let us hear constantly, one word and a penny stamp will be well bestowed for a few days. And God be with you all, and the brave and pious heart which is His best gift in all dangers and trials!
Charles Buller is dead suddenly; there have been many deaths in our circle here lately: we are still all well. Your affectionate Brother
T. Carlyle

Feb. 2, 2012
DeKALB, Ill. - After introducing 31 new Huskies Wednesday on National Signing Day, NIU Head Coach Dave Doeren announced Thursday that Mike Uremovich, a native of New Lenox, Ill. who spent the past seven years as head coach at the University of St. Francis in Joliet and previously worked as a graduate assistant at NIU for former head coach Joe Novak, has joined the staff as running backs coach and special teams coordinator.
Uremovich was a part of the Huskies' tradition in the early years of this century as well as he began his coaching career as a graduate assistant on Novak's staff in 2001 and 2002 for teams that each won MAC West Division titles. Three years later, Uremovich took over as head coach of the NAIA University of St. Francis team. In 2011, he led the Saints to their most successful season in school history as USF won a school-record 10 games and claimed their first win over an NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) team when they defeated Georgia State. The Saints advanced to the NAIA Playoffs for the first time in 24 years and captured their first playoff victory. USF also posted seven-win seasons in 2008 and 2010 as the program was built under Uremovich.
Doeren was happy to bring a coach with Uremovich's coaching experience, ties to NIU and relationships with local high schools, to his staff.
"I have had my eye on Mike since I interviewed him last year," Doeren said. "He's a guy that has worked his way up in the profession. He has coached every position on offense and every unit on special teams so he brings a lot of experience. He's a guy that has built and run his own program and turned it in to a winning program. He brings a great sense of pride about being a Division I coach here, and we want to welcome Mike, his wife, Katie, and their children, Ella, Mikey and Drew to the Huskie family."
Uremovich, who attended Providence Catholic High School, believes his experience as a head coach in the state for the last seven years can benefit the Huskies.
"Being a head coach in the state of Illinois for the past seven years has allowed me to build great relationships with high school coaches," he said. "We had 60 players from Illinois on our roster from St. Francis and I think I have a great relationship with high school coaches throughout the state.
"I had a great experience working with Coach Novak here as a graduate assistant, and the opportunity to come back as a coach on Dave's staff is something I'm really excited about," Uremovich continued. "I've gotten to know Dave over the course of the last year and have a great respect for him and how he's run his football program. When the opportunity arose for me to come and be a part of it here, I jumped at the chance."
Doeren has now filled two open spots on his coaching staff with Uremovich joining former NFL wide receiver and NIU player Frisman Jackson, who was most recently an assistant coach at Akron, as the newest staff members.
"It was important to me not just to find the right coaches but to find three coaches that want to be here and want to be a part of this community and this university," Doeren said. "They have an understanding of Northern Illinois, how we operate and what we're looking for."
The Huskies open spring football practice March 28 with the 2012 season opener set for Saturday, Sept. 1 versus Iowa in Chicago's Soldier Field.

In the Gikomba area of Nairobi, Kenya, men and women of the Kamba tribe carve these safari animal accents from olive wood. These workers are known as jua kali, a Swahili phrase that literally means "hot sun" but has come to describe those who earn a living in Kenya's informal work sector, such as street vendors, repairmen, and artisans in woodworking or metal carving.
Lucas heads the family-oriented studio, where many of the artisans work alongside siblings and cousins. "Only keen people and very skilled artisans are hired [to create the giraffe bowl] so that the animals look great," he says. The giraffe and bowl are carved from a single piece of olive wood and each unique carving displays its own personality. Please allow for small variations due to the natural materials. For decorative use only.
6 3/4"W, including giraffe motif; approximately 5" diameter x 2 1/4"H.

Texas Tech Softball Completes Fall Signing Class
Nov. 21, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech softball coach Shanon Hays announced Wednesday the completion of the program's fall recruiting class as nine future student-athletes signed letters of intent to join the program for the 2014 season.
The class, which includes eight high school players and one junior-college transfer, will join Lexie Elkins, who signed a financial aid agreement last Friday in order to enroll at Tech for the upcoming 2013 season.
"We're really excited about this class" Hays said. "I feel like this is the best class that Texas Tech has ever signed and I said that about last year's class and feel like up to this time that it was the case. The depth and the level of talent that we have along with the speed and offensive prowess these players bring makes up a great class."
Coming off its third-straight postseason appearance, Tech landed its largest class from the state of Texas under Hays, as eight of the 10 total signees hail from the Lone Star State. The two exceptions are Brittany Warnecke, a native of Aurora, Ill., and Kierra Miles, a Yukon, Okla. product.
"We really owe this class to the seniors that just graduated that helped us build a tradition right off the bat here and make it to where these players want to come to Texas Tech," Hays added. "These kids before probably wouldn't have considered Texas Tech, but with the success that we've had, we were able to get them on campus and let them see what Texas Tech is all about. We really got through the front door with a lot of these players thanks to the success that we've had."
The class consists of four true infielders, a pair of catchers and outfielders and then two pitchers. All 10 signees, including both pitchers, will also appear in the field and at the plate for the Red Raiders as well.
The 10-player class matches the largest signed by Hays during his tenure as Tech also had 10 players ink NLIs a year ago as well.
* Will enroll at Texas Tech in January for upcoming 2013 season.

To follow on from my post on the latest version of Visual Studio 11, now officially launching as Visual Studio 2012 that is coming later this year. Microsoft is still aiming for a 4th quarter of 2012 release, to go with the release of .Net Framework 4.5 and Windows 8. Here is some more details on the updated version of Visual Studio 2012.
A few highlights:

There is a new version of Visual Studio coming in 2012, and codenamed "Visual Studio 11". The final branding/name has not been confirmed, and will probably only be confirmed once the final product is ready to be made available. Microsoft is aiming for a 4th quarter release, to go with the release of .Net Framework 4.5 and Windows 8.
Here are a few things to look forward too...
Silverlight 6 and Expression Studio 6 will follow after the release of Visual Studio 11, probably in the beginning of 2013.
Update 1 March 2012:
Visual Studio 11 Beta has been released. Below are a few links on the release.

At the end of last year(December 2010), Microsoft released a service pack for Visual Studio 2010. The service pack is still in BETA mode, and therefore must be treated as any BETA software.... handle with care!I was happy to hear there was a new service pack on it's way, which has some bug fixes and includes fixes for the text editor when coding javascript, css, and html. One bug I wanted to see fixed was the 'crash bug' where my editor seems to crash unexpectantly when working with older versions of the .net framework. Since the install I have not had any crashes, although I must state that I have not been working a lot over the December/January period!
Other key updates to look out for, is that VS2010 SP1 BETA allows the debugger to support IIS Express. The IntelliTrace now also supports Workflows and projects that use Web Parts. There's also support for unit testing targeting .Net 3.5, and support for Visual C++, Visual Basic, SQL Server Compact 4.0 Design-Time, with enhancements for web deployment.If you want to download SP1 BETA, you can find the download page here, but like I said - make sure you know the risks of installing BETA software!

Microsoft announced that they are going to unveil Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) "Beta" next month(September 2010), at an event in San Francisco titled Beauty of the Web. While the browser wars for top spot are now between Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome and Opera, the latest version of IE9 will have to catch-up quickly. Microsoft seems to have missed a golden opportunity to make up for the failures of IE6 and IE7. Even Safari is making IE seem like an old browser and that is not even a target Windows platform browser.
As Microsoft is stating on its IE blog "IE9 offers consistent, fully hardware-accelerated text, graphics, and media, both audio and video", let's hope Microsoft is starting to catch up and will continue to give users what they want from a browser experience.

Thompson, a native of Amory, Miss., directed the development of a Bulldog pitching staff that compiled an SEC-leading 2.58 staff earned run average, the second-best ERA in college baseball last spring. State's staff ERA dropped by 3.32 runs over the past two years, helping propel Mississippi State to the 2012 SEC Baseball Tournament championship and the program's 32nd advancement to NCAA postseason competition.
Thompson's pupils in 2012 included a pair of All-American hurlers, junior right-hander Chris Stratton (11-2, 2.38 ERA), a first-round selection and signee of the San Francisco Giants, and rookie relief ace Jonathan Holder (0.32, 2-1, 9 saves), who established a school record when he opened his career with 27-1/3 innings of shutout pitching.
Five MSU pitchers have earned All-SEC or SEC All-Freshman accolades during Thompson's first four seasons as State's pitching. Thompson is in his 12th season coaching pitchers and directing recruiting efforts in the Southeastern Conference, having previously served in similar capacities at Georgia (2002-05) and Auburn (2006-08). Seven of his last nine recruiting classes have garnered top 25 national ranking.

Curried Waldorf Salad
From EatingWell: February/March 2005, EatingWell for a Healthy Heart Cookbook (2008)
The famous Waldorf Salad, full of apples, celery, raisins and walnuts, gets a healthful makeover in with a touch of golden curry. It has nearly twice the fiber of typical versions.
2 Reviews for Curried Waldorf Salad
I was really surprised at how much I liked this salad, as I HATE the traditional waldorf. This is light but addictive, thanks to the heat from the curry. Will definitely make again-- would be a good picnic salad if you can keep it cold.
