Poor Gov. Chris Christie. Coming off an awful Republican convention in which he was a keynote, Standard and Poor's "lowered its credit outlook for New Jersey from stable to negative." Why so? (Bold mine.)
While Standard & Poor's did not change the state's AA- rating — one of the worst among the states — it warned the more drastic step of a lower rating loomed if Christie's nearly 8 percent growth in revenue failed to materialize.
"We revised the outlook to reflect our view of the risk of revenue assumptions we view as optimistic, continued reliance on one-time measures to offset revenue shortfalls, and longer-term growing expenditure pressures," John Sugden, a credit analyst for Standard & Poor's, said.
Christie has spent much of the year boasting of a "Jersey Comeback" — an assertion that has fizzled in recent months as state revenue has fallen short of expectations, unemployment has risen and foreclosures remain a drag on the real estate market.
What's Christie's risky revenue assumption? That cutting taxes will increase the state's revenues! The Governor's response to S&P? Double down!
Unswayed by the latest batch of economic news, Christie repeated his call for an income tax cut at an appearance in Bergen County and said it was a "joke" that Democrats had not yet delivered the cut.
I hate having to state the obvious, but…trickle-down economics doesn't work. Cutting taxes does not increase revenues. It decreases revenues. If I get a pay cut at work, I don't take in more money than I did before the cut.
Why is basic math so hard for conservatives to understand? Look, we can disagree, and do, about what government should be involved in and how much it should spend. But can we, please, just agree on basic freaking addition and subtraction? George H.W. Bush called Reagan's supply-side plans "voodoo economics" over thirty years ago - he was right then, and he's still right. Tax cuts have slashed revenues in states who have implemented them, and destroyed our national budgets. Conservatives complain about deficits but make them worse…the Bush tax cuts account for a very large percent of our deficit right now, along with his war bill, and the severe downturn he left behind him.
If I was a more cynical sort, I'd say that most trickle-down adherents actually know that what they peddle is a crock of snake oil, but they inflict the country with this policy anyway so that when the deficit inevitably balloons, they can slash the budget in places that will hurt the worst off in our country - that they really, underneath it all, mean "trickle-UP" - cutting taxes for the wealthy so their buddies can get even more gawd-awfully rich and the gap between them and the rest of us gets wider.
And a number of conservatives do know this, and do do this, aka the Norquist "drown it in a bathtub" admission. But I believe the real core of the Republican party, especially its voters, are merely obsessed with "supply-side economics" in a religious way, clinging to trickle-down dogma. You know, like when you see an interview with Tom Cruise, and the host tries to talk about the science of mental health, and Tom Cruise bounces up and down on the couch in denial that mental disease even exists, because his crazy ass religion tells him so. You can try to get him to stop bouncing and listen to the empirical evidence, but dogma prevents him from hearing you.
Well, that's most trickle-down adherents for you. They keep bouncing, because if they stop and actually think logically, never mind view and digest the evidence against it, it would throw their entire worldview upside down, and that is a very uncomfortable place to be.
(Article via dkos.)
I don't disagree with your basic premise (income tax cuts for the rich don't directly benefit anyone else), but would also add that at some point, their money is better off invested in corporations that will hire people as opposed to the government. I'm not going to argue where that point is — I don't know whether it's 39.6 percent, 35 percent, or some other, higher number, but the idea that society benefits from money invested rather than surrendered to Uncle Sam does have some merit.
Also, what about the cause and effect problem here? The article describes New Jersey's fiscal woes, which are attributable to larger market forces (i.e. housing bust) and bad state government policies, most of which predate Christie's term. Yes, he's proposing tax cuts (and the people in that county are all within an hour's drive of either NY, CT, or PA), but that's in response to the current situation…not its cause.
If national economic problems are still being attributed to Bush and the House (rather than Obama) it seems only fair to say NJ's problems are the legacy left TO Christie by Trenton and by his predecessors.
Unfortunately Greg, when the time comes to reinvest, the place is overseas.
Greg, businesses will hire when the market drives their business. That market is established by the millions of ordinary people, each with needs and desires for products and services. A few rich people will not do it.
However, it may be easier for the people to accept taxes if they could be sure it was not being wasted, or worse taken through fraud.
Corporations aren't hiring. Nobody takes their tax break and expands their business in an declining market. The problem is demand - it's the wallets of people that create demand. So it is not the case that "money is better off invested in corporations that will hire people as opposed to the government." Compare with infrastructure projects that will hire. Our problem is demand.
"If national economic problems are still being attributed to Bush and the House (rather than Obama) it seems only fair to say NJ's problems are the legacy left TO Christie by Trenton and by his predecessors."
That would make sense if the only salient variable was time. The reasoning doesn't really apply because its an over-simplification of a wide variety of policies with a wide variety of effects and that vary in terms of the time their impacts are felt. Lumping them together in order to apply the same thinking to both situations based solely on the one variable (time) isn't applicable. The world of economics and policy effects are more complicated than one variable.

It's an amazing vote, it's very historic and we're very happy about it
Controversial US hopeful Donald Trump has hailed the Brexit result an 'amazing' victory for the UK.
The Republican presidential candidate made the comments during a visit to Ayrshire in Scotland shortly after the EU referendum result was announced.
"It's an amazing vote, it's very historic and we're very happy about it," he told reporters.
The country needs a different leadership to take it in this direction
David Cameron has resigned as Prime Minister after the UK voted to leave the European Union.
People have voted to leave not knowing what leaving looks like... an extraordinary moment
Piers and Susanna were joined by ITV News' Political Editor Robert Peston following Britain's decision to leave the EU.
Watch Peston describe the short-term effects of the referendum result and what he predicts could happen next. Our economy is "certain" to slow down as there will be less money to lend and invest. Moreover, businesses will engage in less activity and consumers will also spend less.
Peston also reminds us that there will be a two-year negotiating period to finalise the terms of our exit, which has to be triggered by the Prime Minister. Who does he think will succeed Cameron?
06:05am The UK has voted to leave the European Union after 43 years in an historic referendum.
Key moments overnight:
- The value of the pound has nosedived against the dollar hitting a 31-year low as markets react.
- Ukip Leader Nigel Farage has said "dawn is breaking on an independent UK" - declaring victory a win for real people and calling on the Prime Minister to quit immediately.
- Boris Johnson leads more than 80 pro Brexit Conservatives, signing a letter to the David Cameron asking him to remain in office amid the growing pressure to resign.
With the nation divided and the future uncertain, we'll be finding out what it means for you.
The tribute to MP Jo Cox had been planned to coincide with vigils taking place in central London yesterday - but was postponed due to travel chaos.
Hundreds of festival goers are expected to pay their respect by the Park Stage today at 4pm in a tribute to the MP.
Everything's completely different
It's nearly one year after the tragic Tunisia attack when a gunman slaughtered 38 people in a terror attack.
Nurse Kirsty Murray was shot five times in the brutal attack and saved by a stranger but thought she was going to die. "It was so strange. In that moment, when I did feel like I was dying, I came to peace with it and said my goodbyes in my head and looked up at the sky and it was peaceful. And then I got saved - it feels surreal. It feels like they're talking about someone else."
Since the attack had 15 operations in the last year, following the attack. Talking about life one year later, she said everything is "really tough," is unable to work and finds day-to-day activities tough, but says "I'm getting stronger."
Kirsty is about to go on her first holiday since the attack. "I'm anxious and nervous but I know that it's something that I need to do" and says she hopes to feel safe travelling with her Dad to Greece.
There have been mixed reactions to golfer Rory McIlroy's decision to withdraw from the Rio 2016 Olympic Games - especially as this year marks golf's return to the Games for the first time in over 100 years.
The four-time major winner has said he is "unwilling" to take the risk the virus poses, but scientists remain divided over how dangerous the risks are.
Virologist John Oxford joins us live to explain the risks are and why he initially thought McIlroy's decision was "extreme". The professor now commends the golfer for putting his family first.
Olympic gold medallists Andy Murray and Greg Rutherford have also both expressed concerns, with the latter freezing his sperm to reduce the risks!
I don't want to have to waste my life
Watch Oscar Pistorius give his chilling version of events in an exclusive preview of his first and only television interview since shooting girlfriend, Reeva Steenkamp, three years ago.
Pistorius says wants to dedicate the rest of his life to serve others and believes Reeva would want him to live that life.
However, Reeva's family have questioned why Pistorius spoke here and not in court last week.
Oscar Pistorius: The Interview, Friday at 9pm on ITV. (Pistorius did not receive any money for the interview).

TC TO JOHN FORSTER; 13 May 1855; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18550513-TC-JF-01; CL 29: 310-311
Chelsea, 13 May, 1855—
Dear Forster,— I have no names to suggest,1 beyond those you are sure to have got (I saw Macaulay one night, who told me he had signed): indeed you know far better than I who they are that ought to sign, and how to get at them and make them do it,—more power to your elbow!
As to Palmerston, I had the vague notion that somebody ought to go to him personally on the business, and if possible get a Yes, or even a No, out of him without waste of time: this would be a great aid to us; but I suppose, is not easy to achieve,— perhaps not possible or suitable?
Miss Coutts's Gift is beautiful and excellent:2 I hope it may be made the nucleus (if we can so contrive it) for others from other quarters:—the only precaution is, not to flurry these poor old souls out of their old track, or this to the least degree possible. On Wednesday, human wit (aided by tobacco) ought to be able to settle many things!
Adieu dear Forster, till then. I owe you I know not what for having taken that Palmerston business on your own back so to speak: really a kind and charitable act, you may believe me as well as the ancient Goddaughter!3
Yours ever truly /
T. Carlyle

May is just around the corner, and while you may be thinking of the end of the school year for your kids and family vacations, the work is just beginning for the Bellaire honey company.
Throughout the year, busy bees visit the flowers within a four-mile radius of the Bellaire Honey Company, bringing pollen back to their hives. Between May and October, the human workers at Bellaire Honey remove the honey from the hives and bottle it for selling. The honey is sold by the 12.5-ounce jar. You can get one jar for $7.50, 3 for $22 or a case of a dozen for $85. To learn more about Bellaire Honey Company or to place an order, visit bellairehoneycompany.com.
What do you do with honey?
While most people know that honey is ideal for sweetening tea to drink for a sore throat, there are many other uses for it. Try it drizzled on fresh fruit, spread on toast or stirred into lemonade. You can also try your hand at including it in your baking.
Substitute honey for sugar in baking. Honey and granulated sugar are technically two different types of sugar. Honey has a concentrated sweetness to it. For success with your baked goods using honey, follow these tips:
- Reduce the amount of liquid in the recipe by ¼ cup for each full cup of honey you use.
- Use ¾ cup of honey for every cup of sugar in a recipe.
- Neutralize honey's natural acidity by adding ¼ teaspoon of baking soda for each 1 cup of honey but only if there is not baking soda listed in the baking ingredients.
- Lower the baking temperature by 25 degrees Fahrenheit.
Try these honey recipes to whet your appetite:
Honey biscuits recipe from Serious Eats
Check out the video for honey-roasted peanut-crusted chicken.
For safety, never feed honey, or foods made with honey to infants younger than one.

Airbus overproduces Boeing in commercial sales with 498 total aircraft in 2009. According to the Airbus officials, the backlog of aircraft on order is 3,488. The press conference was not only good news. The A380 project failed short of the initial production target number of 18, delivering only 10, according to Airbus officials in a press conference at the Airbus facility in Seville, Spain, on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2010.
Airbus is currently struggling in the military transport sector of the business, according to the CEO of airbus Tom Enders, who stated, "Our prime mission in the coming weeks is to secure a solid financial footing for the A400M. After nine months of intense deliberations with our government customers, it's time for decisions."
The Boeing Company finished off last year's commercial sales with solid numbers but came up short to the rival Airbus. Boeing recorded 481 commercial sales for 2009, according to a report by Deutsche Welle, a German based broadcasting company. Boeing also has a backlog of 3,375 aircrafts on order which fell short to airbus, according to reports.
The overall strength of Boeing is strong because of a diverse range of products and a wide range of current and potential customers. Some carriers re-evaluated their aircraft inventory and backorders to reflect the economic environment of today. The military and defense sales of Boeing are also strong with a deep Department of Defense budget.

According to an article published by the Tampa Bay Times on Feb. 17, an alleged altercation over a stolen chicken leg land one man in jail and left his roommate dead.
The Tampa Bay Times reports that authorities say 52-year-old James Jugo was taken into custody after police were called to his apartment on Friday to investigate the death of his roommate, 56-year-old Benjamin Calderon.
Authorities say that in an interview that took place Saturday Jugo told detectives he beat his roommate with his fist after an argument about stolen food.
An autopsy was performed on Calderon, and it showed he died from internal bleeding after being hit numerous times on the face, neck, and elsewhere. Officials also say a witness claims Jugo allegedly beat Calderon with a board, but police have not confirmed that fact.
James Jugo is currently being held on a $15,000 bond in a Florida jail, and reportedly facing manslaughter charges.

Lowe catalyzed another rally in the second inning, starting things up with a one-out infield single. After Lowe stole her second base of the night, Arredondo drew a walk to set the table for Fox. The senior shortstop drove Lowe home with a single to center for UA's only run of the inning.
Up 5-0 in the third, Sarah Akamine tagged
After a UNM's Sara Loeffelholz got the Lobos on the board with a solo home run to left-center field, cutting the Wildcats' lead to 7-1.
The Wildcats responded with a pair of homers of their own in the bottom of the fourth, bringing the game to its final 9-1 tally. With one out, Fox homered for the second consecutive day, this time on the first pitch she saw. On the very next pitch, Chambers crushed

The Wildcats provided plenty of offensive support for the hurler, beginning with a K'Lee Arredondo home run in the first inning. Arredondo's solo shot came from the left side of the plate, one day after clubbing a bomb as a righty.
Another freshman, Sarah Akamine, led UA with a 2-for-3 performance and four RBI.
The Wildcats exercised an exceptional amount of patience at the plate, drawing eight walks in four innings at the dish.

The 2004 Wildcats slipped past Cats of earlier days, 2-1, in alumni weekend activities Saturday afternoon at Hillenbrand Stadium.
More than competition, the game was a friendly five-inning affair featuring some of the great names in UA softball.
The veteran Cats had a nice edge in hitting, eight hits to four. Becky Lemke, Nancy Evans and Debby Day pitched for the Classic Cats, while Leslie Wolfe and Annalyn Hollingsworth threw for the '04 club.
Friday night, UA played the U.S. National team, which included four former players who returned Saturday -- Nicole Giordano, Leah O'Brien-Amico, Lovie Jung and Jennie Finch. But such players as Marcie Aguilar, Stacey Redondo, Jamie Heggen and Debby Day -- off UA's first national championship team in 1991 -- also came back.
Rocky LaRose, a player in 1978-79 and the coach in 1980 -- now UA's senior associate athletics director-- and Juanita Dyke, who played on Arizona's first team when the sport became an NCAA Division I sport in 1982, had the most tenure among returnees, along with Stacy Iveson off Mike Candrea's first team in 1987.
Others on hand Saturday included Allison Andrade, Andrea Doty, Amy Chellevold (Hillenbrand), Erika Hanson, Alison Johnsen, Becky Lemke, Toni Mascarenas, Lindsey Collins, Renee Rosas, Lisha Ribellia, Felicity Willis and Brandi Shriver were also on hand.
UA coach Mike Candrea, in town with the Olympic team for Saturday night's game, coached the veterans. Ever the competitor, in the end with the game on the line, he had seven former first-team All-Americans (and all four Olympians) on the field for the bottom of the fifth inning.

Since his death, his reputation has steadily grown as the master of late 20th century art. Like Matisse, his inspiration, Diebenkorn's works reject the flashy and the puerile. His works anchor the modern art collection at the de Young Museum and his retrospective was that rare thing - a thoughtful blockbuster.
Diebenkorn was born in Portland, Oregon in 1922, raised in San Francisco and got his first art education there--interrupted by WW II and a stint in the Marine Corps. This proved to be the seminal chapter in his art education as he was posted to Quantico, Va. and able to visit the museums in the area.
Matisse's "Studio, Quai St. Michel, 1916" with its simultaneous inside-outside view, thrilled and inspired him: "I noticed its spatial amplitude; one saw a marvelous hollow or room yet the surface is right there...right up front."
Discharged from the military in 1945, Diebenkorn enrolled at the California School of Fine Arts. Over the next several years, he moved between the East and West coasts. His work from the late '40s to the early '50s was essentially abstract, though with strong overtones of landscape space and color. A considerable influence of Willem de Kooning bore on it. De Kooning, Diebenkorn felt, "had it all, could outpaint anybody, at least until the mid-'60s, when he began to lose it."
But Diebenkorn's friendship with the David Park, the fiercely independent Bay Area painter who rejected abstraction, pointed him in the direction of figurative painting. In his later work, he returned to abstraction, but an abstraction shaped and informed by his studies of the figure.
Edward Hopper was one of Diebenkorn's inner jury of admired masters--no other American painter except de Kooning influenced him as much. What he liked in Hopper, Diebenkorn once laconically said, was "the diagonals."
The climax of his work - and the pride of the de Young, is the Ocean Park series. Began in 1967, Ocean Park is part of Santa Monica, the beachside suburb of Los Angeles where he had his studio.
"From its high crystalline light, its big calm planes of sea and sky, its cuts and interlacings of highway divider and curb and gable and yellow sand, Diebenkorn produced a marvelous synthesis that, though prolonged through more than 140 large canvases, had very few weak moments." Robert Hughes.
The Ocean Parks radiate an Apollonian calm, calm, strong, not showy. The paintings repeat elements - the straight lines, the geometric triangles and half obscured squares and arches. The colors echo the California landscape, yellow-ochre, green, multiple variations on blue. The layered surface shows many revisions and corrections; one of the fascinations in viewing his work is seeing the painter's hand in the process of creation.
In her introductory essay to the 1988 show at the Museum of Modern Art, curator Jane Livingston observed that "the fundamental fact about Diebenkorn may be that, in a sense, he lived just slightly in the wrong time. He was down to the bone a modernist. His painting was neither reductivist nor conceptual; it was sublime in an old-fashioned sense. Fortunately, he was entirely unembarrassed by the anachronism of his passion."
When he died of respiratory failure in 1993, Richard Diebenkorn was recognized as one of the preeminent painters of the last half century, a major figure contributing to the dominance of American art since 1945. He sought artistic challenges, was unafraid of changing styles, and constantly reworked and altered paintings until they achieved an "emotional rightness." ("I want a painting to be difficult to do," he once declared. "The more obstacles, obstructions, problems, the better.")
As Whitney director David Ross put it, "Diebenkorn emerges at the century's end as an artist who restored to late modernism the sense of the sublime that seemed to fade with each successive decade after World War II."

JavaOne Day Three
By Geertjan-Oracle on May 10, 2007
- First, I attended Tim and Jarda's session on modular software development on the NetBeans Platform. It was great. All the principles of modeling in the NetBeans world, explained by two of the absolute experts. The finale, where Tim showed his image editor, really wrapped things up well. The specific main insight I got out of the story was that lots of small modules (assuming each covers a functional piece) is better than one large one, in the context of a rich-client application. Not a big surprise there, of course, but it was well illustrated. Each part of Tim's application came from a variety of modules, making it extremely flexible and also making it possible to replace one part with another. I reckon I'll need to rearchitect my music application along these lines. It also allows others to take one module out of your collection and add it to their own, picking and choosing as they please, in the same way one does when assembling an application by taking the IDE's Favorites window and Update Center wizard and so on, but leaving the main parts of the IDE out of one's own application. Really cool how the NetBeans module system allows this.
- Then it was our book signing! I was outside the book store with Jens for about 10 minutes, signing books. Pretty fun. Then Jarda and Tim arrived from their session, and I had to leave to go to my own. But the few brief minutes of book signing were pretty cool. I actually met one or two people, Greg Wonderley was one of them, who I had been in touch with over the years. Vadiraj and Toni also came to have their book signed, so it was a general feel-good situation all round.
- Next was the JFugue session. Since I didn't speak for most of the presentation, and was merely there to testify to the JFugue API's usability, I can say, without heaping praise on myself, that it was up there with the best presentations I have ever attended. Dave Koelle was awesome. He presented the story clearly, coherently, with a touch of humor, and a lot of enthusiasm. The room, containing 136 people, as I later found out, was clearly totally engrossed in his story. I saw many nodding heads when Dave talked about the frustrations of MIDI programming. He had some great slides that showed long code listings of how things are done traditionally and how they are done with the JFugue API. And he played bits of music to illustrate his point, showing how the music was constructed. Then it was my turn and I walked through the application, showing it both on 5.5 and 6.0, mentioning the debt owed to Pierre Matthijs for all his excellent work on the project, while trying to mention NetBeans as little as possible. I didn't want anyone to feel I was pushing NetBeans in any way, which I wasn't trying to do in any way, I simply wanted to push the music application, hoping to get as many people to join the project as possible. One thing I did show was how the application is improved by porting it from 5.5 to 6.0, where one has undocking functionality, as an illustration of the usefulness of framework-based development. I didn't open NetBeans IDE at all, just talked about the applications after launching them from their NetBeans-generated launchers.
And, sitting front and center in the audience was... my hero Elliotte Rusty Harold. That was about as cool as it gets. There were many questions afterwards, even one or two about the application. I later bumped into Inder, who is from the Glassfish team, who said that he'd downloaded the application, during the session, while I was talking about it! On his Mac! And it worked without a hitch! It was funny when he said: "But I couldn't find the Save button... so I couldn't save the music string." Well, guess why? Because I had created that button the night before the presentation and haven't yet committed that change to CVS... :-)
- Then Martin Adamek and I had the long awaited meeting with Graeme Rocher. Creating support for Grails will mostly be pretty simple, I think. Project template for the source structure and hyperlinks for navigation between artifacts with a multiview editor for related pieces, and then a few file templates and bundled samples. That would be a good start and would already cover a lot. Cherry on the cake would be debugging, but we have Martin Krauskopf, who created the NetBeans debugger for Ruby, on our team, so that shouldn't be a problem. The only question is finding the time to work on it. I had bought Graeme's book and got him to sign it. It was cool to see that the book contained a brochure announcing the upcoming Grails conference (in October) with my name quite prominently displayed. We better have a strong story by then, otherwise I'll not have much to present at the conference.
Then Graeme, Martin, and I went to an advanced session on Groovy. It was really really cool. I especially liked the demos, such as when an Excel spreadsheet was manipulated from the Groovy shell. Same thing must be possible with the OpenOffice.org API, and I'm definitely going to look into that. I bumped into Pavel Buzek, at the same session. Pavel is the main NetBeans architect. He showed me some amazing stuff he's working on. He had a Javascript file in a standard Java application. From the Javascript file, he was coding the NetBeans APIs! Like, he was coding the opening of a TopComponent and when he ran the application, the Output window opened! That is apparently already possible in Milestone 9. I had no idea. Next, he showed that he's working on a simplification of NetBeans APIs. He seems to be wrapping some of the complxity and hiding it, replacing it with new, more transparent approaches. So, for example he typed new Window, and then some more code, but all in one line, and then the TopComponent opened. He promised to send me the code once he's worked everything out. Could end up being yet another major sea change in NetBeans API land.
- After that I went to the speaker's room, where I bumped into Ludo, who introduced me to Ken Russell, who is currently working on the NASA World Wind project. He demoed something to me and showed the code. He showed the palette item added to NetBeans IDE which allows everything to happen. I immediately wanted to start writing a tutorial for his scenario. A bit later, he sent me his code and instructions for building it. I got quite far, but the sample was slightly broken due to recent changes made to the JAR by NASA. Then NASA removed the JAR from the site, but it should come back on-line soon, though. I also created a TopComponent, which will open the World Wind demo as a new window in the IDE, or any other NetBeans application, such as the JFugue Music NotePad. It will be awesome. Looks really really cool. Ken Russell talks more about it all in his blog here. Once the JAR is back up, and the code works correctly, the tutorial will explain how to create an application (and a NetBeans TopComponent) with this result:
Just imagine being able to open the above as a window in NetBeans IDE! Making the move from the simple Java application to the NetBeans window is really extremely trivial. And you can zoom into the image, right down to a specific location. The code, from what I've seen, is not extremely dense, the tutorial will be accompanied by a lot of code explanations, which I'm hoping to get from Ken. So watch this space for an announcement within the next day or two.
- Received an e-mail from Michael Nascimento, with the link to the YouTube movie his colleague had created yesterday (refer to my blog entry yesterday for details). It seems part of the story is on YouTube, not all of it, but it looks quite fun. Go http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPIAoLdQR5w to see it! Thanks Michael!
- Then I sat with Tim Boudreau for a bit in the speakers room. He showed me a new refactoring he's working on. He's planning to write a tutorial, to show how to create refactorings with the new API for 6.0. Really looking forward to that. We also talked about other scenarios where refactoring might be useful. I mentioned the layer file, which should be included in refactoring when a class name is changed. Later Jan Lahoda, the main editor engineer for NetBeans, came to the speakers room, and he said that the layer refactoring should have been possible in 5.5 already. I told him it was broken, in that case, and he said that Milos is working on implementing it in 6.0. That means, I assume, that it will be tested and, if it is still broken, it should be fixed as part of the 6.0 enhancements. That would be excellent, since (from everything I've read) the lack of refactoring of the layer file is one of the biggest frustrations with NetBeans module development. Another hole in refactoring land is in the blue blocks in Matisse-generated code. Wonder if anything can be done about that, once we have a tutorial on refactoring to play with.
After all that, and a brief demo of the music application to Jarda, who was very interested, I went back to the hotel for a little break. It felt really strange to not have a presentation to prepare for anymore. I've done four in the last few days, two at NetBeans Day, one at the java.net mini talks, and then the technical session with Dave Koelle. All my presentations were quite small (in fact, the java.net mini talk was my longest presentation!), but a lot of energy and thinking goes into them (although few might suspect it in some cases, when they don't turn out so well). So I was pretty tired and, in fact, didn't wake up until way past midnight, thus missing the last sessions of the day (one of which compared plugin development in NetBeans IDE to Eclipse and to IntelliJ, which I really wanted to see) as well as the closing party. Damn jetlag.

Vaapad is ....
the vaapad, also known as the juyo, was a creature native to the Galactic Republic energy-world of Sarapin and its moons.
Vaapads were brown ball shape multi-tentacled creatures with two yellow eyes, with the number of tentacles varying from as low as seven to as many as twenty-three on the largest example ever examined. The tentacles of a live vaapad were almost impossible to count, as they moved extremely quickly to destroy its prey.
Mace Windu developed a lightsaber style based upon the vaapad. The style used quick and deadly strikes to overcome the enemy, much like how the vaapad would use it's tentacles on prey. Windu created this style with aid from Sora Bulq, although Windu and his former apprentice, Depa Billaba, are considered to be the form's only masters. The Vaapad lightsaber technique is considered aggressive. Mace Windu frequently warned Quinlan Vos against using it. The fact that it was aggressive eventually led to Sora Bulq's and Depa Billaba's turning to the dark side of the Force.

For me, music is about the emotion, how it makes me feel and how it can change how I feel. My listening choice depends very much on how I feel when I head for the LP/CD shelves. Tense after a crap day at work ? I need something loud/aggresive/fast to match and that relieves the tension. Feeling relaxed ? Something chilled or more complex. The genre isn't necessarily important, it's all music whether a string quartet, jazz trio, orchestra, choir , soul, metal or prog, it's how I feel when listening.
Bibo ergo sum
For me, it's all about having the best hi-fi. I would be unable to enjoy listening if I didn't have the very best hi-fi.
Thankfully, I can say (and it has been officially acknowledged) that I do actually have the best hi-fi!
Nobody tap their feet anymore ?
I want it to make my body move in a strange nonsensical fashion.
(not my description of my dancing but it seems a popular verdict )
and snappy transients help........
So you stopped...........bahhh
Apart from the occasional use for background music over dinner, when a ghettoblaster would do just as well, my daily use doesn't differ much. I use my HiFi for the pleasure of the music. Jazz should relax and get me laid back, classical for intellectual stimulus, rock for passion.
The nice thing about my HiFi is that once I got over all the measurements, set-up and stuff, I use it as a tool, not really caring about it at all, not letting it get in the way of the emotional satisfaction of the music.
Lovely stuff.
I am always looking for music I have not heard before. I love it when I get lucky and find something is Right On.
You always know immediately when you like a particular song, riff, etc...it just sounds Great, straight away.
I have found a lot of great music from all you characters too
I like to feel like i am sitting in front of the drummer. as a musician i feel this is importent for the music. i am a very happy with my system it gives me pleasure from the music. Although i feel the human voice is procise in my system i like to sit back and relax like having a small session band in front of my from a small hall etc. I like my music from early prog rock to electronica to early 50's jazz also including various other genres theres nothing i wont try.
Always look for looking at the old c.d collection for ways to follow things up so could be a mixture of blues,bluegrass,classicall ,rock . just to keep it intersting
Apart from the obvious necessary stuff like the tune, the musical drive and interplay .... a 3d holographic world, infinitely layered around you and full of dense floating notes replete with form and shape, endlessly pleasurable in their texture and tone, like they are actually caressing your body. The kit I have now does this in a way that i've never heard before with other electronics.
get a room man , 50 shades of hifi :-)
It's not difficult to enjoy music on a 'budget' system if you can stop thinking about the quality of reproduction and dissecting it - which is a seperate activity really (see above). Doing that can even make a great £50,000 system unenjoyable. A good £600 stereo can easily resolve the melody and all the most important bits in the music and most of the less important stuff too, as your stepfather has found. If you can avoid obsessing over sound too much, a top-quality system will be the icing on the cake of musical enjoyment by giving a heightened sense of reality over a lesser system.
I rarely listen in critical mode much anymore, it's just too boring! I've got out of the habit thankfully and try to just get on with listening and enjoying music these days. Yesterday I was listening to the Very Best of The Fine Young Cannibals and dancing around the room! Couldn't do that listening critically, it had plenty of shortcomings but I didn't dwell on them and had a great time!
I think we analyse this stuff too much. Get the right equipment that suits you and explore that musical landscape.
Nostalgia is not art (MIB 1 Jul 13)
I like to listen to music for pleasure.
Notions or accuracy and what the artist intended are pure subjective fantasy. It either sounds good to you or not. Unless of course you were at the studios when recording and more importantly mixing took place.
I have been reading the ken Scott autobiography, which takes you through some of the process of capturing the creative muses of the beatles at abbey road; David Bowie through hunky,ziggy,alladin, pin ups, elton John Honky chateau, don't shoot, Supertramp crime of the century, etc. On reading the technical process of recording, producing and mixing, one realises that one knows nothing about accuracy in the terms of what the recording team Actually had in mind. The use of compression in laying down tracks for specific and good effect, is enlightening.
A good read btw.
Listener pleasure Is where it's at.

The modern Massachusetts Democratic Party has important reform roots, roots that began with Mike Dukakis, who helped bring state government into the modern age.
Although he had been a legislator, Dukakis wasn't a creature of Beacon Hill, but rather a skeptic of the State House's go-along-to-get-along culture. He had little truck with insider arrangements, wasteful spending, or patronage. Early on, he even tried to abolish the Governor's Council.
Deval Patrick ran as more of a movement progressive than a reformer, but he oversaw some significant changes during his first term. Among them: tougher ethics laws, a public pension overhaul, and an education law that included school-turnaround powers and a greater number of charter schools. Sadly, that reform purpose has gone missing in his second term — as has Patrick himself, it sometimes seems — but those first-term measures helped in his reelection effort.
A regular, restless reform impulse is important for several reasons. Without it, there's a natural tendency for any government to resist change and modernization, for the bureaucracy to grow unnecessarily, and for meaningful savings to go unrealized.
Politically, meanwhile, a reform spirit is important if a candidate is to persuade voters that he or she will be an effective watchdog for the public interest and a determined change agent in a political culture adept at creating and sustaining cozy, incumbent-benefitting arrangements.
But in the gubernatorial campaign, the Democratic reform voice has been muted at best.
I was surprised to hear Martha Coakley say recently that she had supported a House bill calling for a modest increase in the charter-school cap. She certainly didn't speak up forcefully when that bill ran into trouble in the Senate. Nor did Steve Grossman, who says he also backed the measure. As for Don Berwick, he considered even the House's limited lift too much. For anyone who values the energy and innovation charters have brought to urban education, those low profiles were discouraging indeed.
In the absence of a reform flame, Berwick deserves credit for at least showing a flicker. He supports closing the campaign-finance loophole that periodically lets labor unions donate $15,000 to campaigns. He also deserves plaudits for making public all but one of the endorsement questionnaires completed for constituency groups. Coakley, who sidestepped the union-loophole issue, has posted no questionnaires. Grossman actually favors the union loophole; though he has posted some questionnaires, they don't include any from unions.
But though some kudos are due Berwick, when the Boston Teachers Union questionnaire asked what part of the 2010 ed-reform law he would repeal, he wrote critically of the section that lets the state use MCAS results to designate underperforming schools and gives education officials expanded power to restructure those schools. Berwick, who thinks the school-turnaround pendulum has swung too far, told me he favors broader (unspecified) measures than test results to judge school performance. Still, he said he does support intervention in dire cases.
Meanwhile, we haven't heard any Democrat raise concerns about the Pacheco law, which has pretty much shut down state government's efforts at contracting out to stretch taxpayer dollars. Grossman and Coakley support that ill-conceived law; Berwick's position is a study in gray. Nor have we heard anything about the Patrick administration's imposing competition-limiting, cost-hiking Project Labor Agreements on several large construction projects.
That's not to say that the three Democrats don't have departments or programs they want to change. Coakley, for example, advocates adding a separate child-protection division to the Department of Children and Families. Berwick favors a single-payer health-care system. Grossman has promised to move the criminal-justice system away from prison-building and toward rehabilitation.
But when it comes to political reforms or measures to introduce more choice or competition, the Democratic offerings are pretty thin gruel. Coakley's camp didn't cite any such reforms. Grossman's notables: expediting the public-records process and rejecting no-bid contracts such as the one Patrick authorized for a new health care website vendor.
Again, Berwick is a little more interesting than his rivals. He calls for applying Toyota's Production System — which emphasizes continuously reducing waste, whether of resources, time, transportation, motion, or process — to state government.
It shouldn't be lost on the Democrats that Charles D. Baker Jr., the likely GOP nominee, is pushing a reform agenda. For example, he wants to close the union-contribution loophole, move to a spring primary, put spending by the state's quasi-public authorities online, raise the charter cap, move away from PLAs, and reform the Pacheco law.
The contrast between Baker and the leading Democrats hasn't mattered yet. But that will change next Wednesday, when the general election campaign begins. Which is to say, the eventual nominee neglects the Democratic Party's reform heritage only at her or his political peril.Scot Lehigh can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Western Interior Seaway
(new Oct 2014)
The Western Interior Seaway dominated North American paleogeography during much of the Mesozoic. Beginning as a narrow body in a back arc basin along the British Columbia-Alberta border the Early Jurassic, the seaway expanded and contracted numerous times during the remaining Mesozoic. From the Cenomanian through most of the Campanian, the seaway extended from the Arctic to the Gulf of Mexico, at times covering nearly half of North America. An extensive volcanic signature in the rock record including ash beds (bentonites), detrital zircons, and local volcanic flows coupled with a robust fossil record, excellent, widespread outcrops, and voluminous subsurface data have provided the basis for basin-wide, detailed correlation.

"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart may have been shocked when her ex-husband, Kordell Stewart, decided to file for divorce behind her back. She learned on Twitter that he was leaving her. But it sounds like she has moved on and isn't afraid to start dating again. According to a new Radar Online report published on Jan. 10, "The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Porsha Stewart is now revealing that she is working hard on her business, "Naked Hair," and is taking time to date.
"I am definitely in the dating arena. I went on my first date on the Steve Harvey Show. Very first date and that kind of broke me in," she revealed. "There's someone that I think is very special. He's kind of standing out of the pack right now, so we'll see how that turns out." But it sounds like the first date went well, because he is in her life now.
But she hasn't revealed his identity because he is supposedly well-known in Atlanta, meaning she has to think about how she will reveal his identity. "He's well known and I'm just a little cautious this go around so I'm just kind of waiting for the time to be right before I make the next move," Porsha said. "It will probably happen on the Housewives."
But it sounds like she wants to keep him by his side because she wants to be a power couple in the future. "I'm trying to build an empire so I need somebody to stand by my side. Let's be a power couple. Someone who just loves family. My family is always around. You see them on the show. They're very passionate about me so those are like the main things," she said.
Who do you think she is dating?

For as much as I spoke of DuckTales being the sort of flagship game of this little endeavor through the year's shortest month, in truth there was another title that was the real driving force behind the journey into my unfinished digital affairs. But this wasn't some fond childhood memory, not something placed on high out of some, perhaps, misguided sense of reverence... no, this particular game inspired a fear and respect so profound as to transcend to an almost primal level, its mere mention enough to chill the spine and stab at the brain for decades to come, any passing reference therein a ballistic missile directly to my ego.
This game is Xevious. This game is my white whale.
Many is the time I've forced my eyes open into its maw, studying with grim fascination what it is about this seemingly simple - some might say pedestrian - collection of coding wrapped up in eight bits that vexes me so. Games of the era were known if not reknowned for their difficulty, and as a direct descendent of an arcade title Xevious retains the quarter-eating, punishing challenge of its parentage. I've faced games infamous for their challenge with greater success than any I've found at the hands of this monster, though, even if its brazen refusal to mark where one stage ends and the next begins only serves to wear at one's resolve even further with the illusion of eternity without progress. This alone was not it.
Maybe it has something to do with the unexpectedly byzantine plot behind the game. One wouldn't guess it at a glance - especially since the game itself makes absolutely no mention of it - but just beyond the veil of vertical-scrolling, shooting, and bombing lies a convoluted tale of clones, ice ages, and Orwellian overtones that the author of the franchise's Wikipedia entry seems to have sacrificed sanity and grammar themselves for comprehension of. Bizarre and fantastical scripts simultaneously divorced from and struggling to lend context to the ultimately simple action on the screen is fairly commonplace for this era as well, though. This alone was not it.
Perhaps, instead, this had something to do with the game's particular genre? I'll admit that shooters have never been my strong suit, and even when limiting things to the NES there are several examples of which I find myself unable to put a significant dent in. What is it about this one that makes it special, then? Could it have something to do with it being one of the first games I'd played of the genre? Did my lack of any real success with it in my innocent years sour me to an entire category of games, placing an indelible psychological mark on me? No, in other cases I could easily identify the fault as my own. This alone was not it.
The only real conclusion I can come to is that it's some magical, horrible combination of these and what I'm sure are myriad other qualities that made Xevious the insurmountable horror it became to me, the one it remains to this day. Strangely enough, it could just as well be that mystery itself that gives it the mystical, alien quality I seek to define. In any event, optimistic as I was that age had sufficiently bridged the skill gap in my first of what had to be a few dozen interspersed sessions, little had changed. I can say that this month has seen my greatest success with the game, but when that success consists of completion of the first stage and little else it hardly registers as anything but the smallest of token victories.
You win, Xevious. Again.
CHALLENGE: failed (Stage 2... I think?)

Chelsea Tang scored a season-best 39.350 to finish third in the all-around to lead the Beavers. "We had some changes to the lineups and things didn't go exactly as planned but I'm pleased with how this team keeps fighting and picking each other up when things don't perfectly," Chaplin said. "We'll re-group this week and will be ready Saturday for Nebraska and Arizona State." The Beavers (7-2) topped the 49-point plateau on three events including a season-high 49.275 on the vault and the Utes (8-1) scored 197.575 for the win. OSU got off to a solid start with three career-highs to post 49.150 in the opening rotation. Madeline Gardiner led off the meet for the Beavers with a personal-best 9.775 and Taylor Keeker followed with a career-tying 9.80. Following a fall, the end of the OSU rotation buckled down with Erika Aufiero tallying 9.875 and Hannah Casey posting a career-high 9.90. Despite a solid opening rotation on the uneven bars, the Beavers trailed 49.625-49.150 heading to the vault. The Beavers posted two career-highs, Aufiero scored 9.875 and Cerise Witherby tallied 9.80, and two season-highs with Chelsea Tang scoring 9.825 and Brittany Harris a 9.875. Keeker added a 9.875 and Kelsi Blalock scored 9.825 to complete the vault rotation as the Beavers set a season-high for the second week in a row with a 49.275. On the floor exercise for the third rotation, the Beavers came together to reach the 49-point mark for the third time in the meet scoring 49.150. Gardiner scored 9.85 to lead the Beavs while a foursome of Witherby, Tang, Harris and Nicole Turner added scores of 9.825. The beam team fought through a bit of adversity after a fall early in the lineup by Blalock, Witherby established a career-high of 9.775 in the lead-off spot and Gardiner added a 9.775 of her own. Harris scored 9.825 and Tang closed out the night with a 9.90. Oregon State returns to Gill Coliseum next week for the final time in 2014 when the Beavers host Arizona State and Nebraska on Senior Night. The meet is slated for Sat., Mar. 1 at 6 p.m. Team Scores: No. 4 Utah 197.575; No. 11 Oregon State 196.450. All-Around: 1. Georgia Dabritz (UTAH) 39.625; 2. Tory Wilson (UTAH) 39.500; 3.

It looks like the already well-decorated Michael Phelps can claim yet another Olympics victory. The event?
Destroying Netflix's Traffic.
According to a fresh report from Procera Networks, Netflix streaming has been down 25 percent since the beginning of the London Olympics, as NBC has made most of the events available online (with, uh, varying success rates). As GigaOM points out, Netflix CEO Reed Hastings had predicted in his recent letter to shareholders that his company would suffer from lower-than-normal watching levels during the Olympics and that Netflix would have difficulty signing up new subscribers while all of that free Olympic content was available online.
If Procera's study is correct, Hastings was spot-on. No matter how you judge the actual quality of NBC's online Olympiad coverage, it is hard to deny that the content is, indeed, online and readily accessible; and it appears that Netflix Instant subscribers have been spending more time over the past week with Ryan Lochte and Rafalca than they have with Don Draper and Walter White.
Elsewhere in Procera's studies -- which have thus far covered online viewing in the U.S., Canada, and the United Kingdom, from Friday through Sunday -- the analytics firm finds that bandwidth usage is up over 100 percent on some networks, thanks to the increased popularity of streaming events online. In the United Kingdom, Procera found that streamers were 10 times more likely to watch on an iOS device than an Android, thanks in part to the surging popularity of the market-dominant iPad and NBC's iPad-optimized Olympics app. Interestingly, Procera's studies show that the iPhone 4, and not the iPhone 4S, is the most popular smartphone for streaming Olympic content, using up twice as much bandwidth as the iPhone 4S and three times as much bandwidth as Samsung's Galaxy S II.
The use of social networks Facebook and Twitter were also up 25 percent over the weekend, said Porcera, though it is unclear whether the Olympics is solely responsible for this huge spike. (Perhaps Chick-Fil-A also deserves some of the credit, too).
Finally, in what must be somewhat of a blow to those complaining loudly with the #nbcfail hashtag on Twitter, only two percent of U.S. households with Broadband used their Internet connections to watch the Olympics online on Friday and Saturday, per Porcera. Many Twitter users have complained about the low-quality streams on NBC's website and tape delayed broadcasts on the network, arguing that NBC's coverage has failed to adequately keep up with the Internet and age of social media; that just two percent of Broadband users are watching online suggests that the #nbcfail movement represents a relatively small (but vocal!) minority.
