The Harvey Tercentenary
England has been occupied recently with the centenaries of her greatest sons in the sphere of medical science. Last year was celebrated the centenary of the birth of Lister; in February of the present year that of the bicentenary of the birth of John Hunter, and now the medical world has united with all that is eminent in English life in celebrating the tercentenary of the publication of the "Exercitatio Anatomica de Motu Cordis et Sanguinis in Animalibus" of William Harvey, which once for all demonstrated the circulation of the blood and dispelled the errors of medieval theories. The international celebration began with a reception by the king of delegates from all parts of the world. Sir John Rose Bradford, president of the College of Physicians, presented 100 delegates to the king from twenty-eight countries. In the course of an address he said that Harvey's demonstration that

Re: Student Loan Rehabilita
[ Edited ]
tion And The Effect On Tradelines
11-08-2012 02:44 PM - edited 11-08-2012 02:44 PM
Man I wish I would have defaulted on my student loans. I have so many months of 120 day lates while I was making payments. Nelnet denied a forbearance request, said I had met time limits, and I did not find out till they called 6 months later and told me I was about to default. Big thanks fellas. No email, letter, etc. My fault for not logging in and checking my loan status every month. (I login 3-4 times a month now.) Well, I accrued something like 19 late payment remarks. Most of which I got while I was making payments. I finally caught up. I should have just defaulted.
I bet Nelnet makes a killing in fees.

For centuries, Timbuktu was a center of learning, home to a university and a vast collection of manuscripts containing priceless written records of Islamic and African history. When, a few years ago, jihadists invaded the city and set about to destroy its cultural treasures, one man organized a mission to smuggle out most of the manuscripts. Jeffrey Brown reports from Mali. Continue reading
Mali is a country renowned for its music, but in 2012, the music stopped. That year, separatist rebels and Islamic groups seized two-thirds of the country and banned any expression of art. While French and Malian forces drove the Islamists out, much of the north remains unsafe. Jeffrey Brown reports from Bamako and Timbuktu on efforts to restore their rich culture. Continue reading

I am looking to create a javascript/jquery function to wrap a piece of highlighted text from a textarea in strong tags - similar to the WYSIWYG editor here.
Is this possible and if so can you point me in the right direction.
OK so here's a hopefully clearer description of what I want...
I have a textbox on my page which I can type in.
I then want to be able to highlight a part of this text and wrap the highlighted part in
 tags
So if the text box had the words
one two three and I highlighted the word "two", I want to be able to wrap that word in the strong tags - so becoming
one two three
Hope this is clearer... I know there are plugins out there but I don't need the full WYSIWYG functionality.

Doctor's Orders: Go Nuts
Including a variety of nuts in your diet will help you get ample healthy fats. When it comes to nuts, walnuts top the list; one ounce provides almost 3 grams of the essential omega-3 fats. No other nut even comes close. Keep in mind,the omega-3 in walnuts is not the same omega-3 found in fatty fish like salmon. Walnuts contain the omega-3 fat ALA, or alpha linolenic acid. In the body this must be converted to eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosopentaenoic acid (DHA). Walnuts also contain almost 3 g of monounsaturated fats per ounce. One ounce of walnuts (about 14 halves) provides 185 calories, 4 g of protein, 4 g of carbs, and 18 g of fat total.
After walnuts, macadamia nuts are next on the list due to their monounsaturated fat content. One ounce of macadamias has a whopping 17 g of monounsaturated fats. Not many other nuts come close. One ounce of macadamia nuts (about 10-12 nuts) will net you 203 calories, 2 g of protein, 4 g of carbs, and 22 g of fat.
Up next I would probably list pecans. One ounce of pecans supplies 12 g of monounsaturated fats. They also have three times the omega-3 fats as most other nuts. (Of course, at 300 mg of ALA, it's just one tenth the amount in walnuts.) One ounce of pecans (about 15 halves) will deliver 200 calories, 3 g of protein, 4 g of carbs, and 21 g of fat total.
Almonds come up next as they contain 9 g of monounsaturated fats per ounce, which is still more than most other nuts. Plus, one ounce of almonds supplies 7 g of protein, almost double the amount of most other nuts, even triple the amount of some. One ounce of almonds (about 20 nuts) will total you 170 calories, 7 g of protein, 5 g of carbs and 15 g of total fat.
Have an ounce of mixed nuts (including walnuts) with any meal or snack. Just be sure to stay within your allotment of total fat grams for the day.
Active Rest
Remember that every rest day should be an active rest day. Rest days are for recovery; they're not an excuse to be lazy. Get out and hit 15-30 minutes of HIIT cardio today, or perform 30-60 minutes of your favorite activity: hiking, biking, walking, playing a sport, etc.

I am developing a enterprise software for a big company using Oracle. Major processing unit is planned to be developed in PL/SQL. I am wondered if there is any ORM like Hibernate for Java, but the one for PL/SQL. I have some ideas how to make such a framework using PL/SQL and Oracle system tables, but it is interesting - why no one have done this before? What do you think will that be effective in speed and memory consumption? Why?
We started with Q&A. Technical documentation is next, and we need your help.
Whether you're a beginner or an experienced developer, you can contribute.
ORMs exist to provide an interface between a database-agnostic language like Java and a DBMS like Oracle. PL/SQL in contrast knows the Oracle DBMS intimately and is designed to work with it (and a lot more efficiently than Java + ORM can). So an ORM between PL/SQL and the Oracle DBMS would be both superfluous and unhelpful!
Take a read through these two articles - they contain some interesting points
Ask Tom - Relational VS Object Oriented Database Design
As Tony pointed out ORMs really serve as helper between the App and Db context boundaries.
If you are looking for an additional level of abstraction at the database layer you might want to look into table encapsulation. This was a big trend back in the early 2000s. If you search you will find a ton of whitepapers on this subject.
Plsqlintgen still seems to be around at http://sourceforge.net/projects/plsqlintgen/
This answer has some relevant thoughts on the pros and cons of wrapping your tables in pl/sql TAPIs (Table APIs) for CRUD operations.
There was also a good panel discussion on this at last years UK Oracle User Group - the overall conclusion was against using table APIs and for transaction APIs, for much the same reason - the strength of pl/sql is the procedural control of SQL statements, while TAPIs push you away from writing set-based SQL operations and towards row-by-row processing.
The argument for TAPI is where you may want to enforce some kind of access policy, but Oracle offers a lot of other ways to do this (fine-grained access control, constraints, triggers on insert/update/etc can be used to populate defaults and enforce that the calling code is passing a valid request).
I would definitely advise against wrapping tables in PL/SQL object types.
A lot of the productivity with pl/sql comes from the fact that you can easily define things in terms of the underlying database structure - a row record type can be simply defined as %ROWTYPE, and will be automatically impacted when the table structure changes.
This also applies to collections based over these types, and there are powerful bulk operations that can be used to fetch & insert whole collections.
On the other hand, object types must be explicitly impacted each time you want to change them - every table change would require the object type to be impacted and released, doubling your work.
It can also be difficult to release changes if you are using inheritance and collections of types (you can 'replace' a package, but cannot replace a type once it is used by another type).
This isn't putting OO PL/SQL down - there are places where it definitely simplifies code (i.e. avoiding code duplication, anywhere you would clearly benefit from polymorphism) - but it is best to understand and play to the strengths of the language, and the main strength is that the language is tightly-coupled to the underlying DB.
That said, I do often find myself creating procedures to construct a default record, insert a record, etc - often enough to have editor macros for it - but I've never found a good argument for automatically generating this code for all tables (a good way to create a lot of unused code??)
Oracle is a Relation database and also has the ability to work as an object-oriented database as well. It does this by building an abstraction layer (fairly automatically) on top of the relational structure. This would seemingly eliminate the need for any "tool" as it is already built-in.

Coyotes' defensive makeover continues with Luke Schenn signing
While Brayden Schenn hopes to hammer out a favorable deal with the Philadelphia Flyers, his brother Luke Schenn inked a two-year contract with the Arizona Coyotes on Saturday.
Arizona didn't confirm these details, but the cap hit looks to be $1.25 million, according to reporters including Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
"We are very pleased to sign Luke to a two-year contract," New Coyotes GM John Chayka said. "He's a good, young defenseman and we feel we can optimize his performance here. He will be a solid addition to our blue line."
Chayka is making some significant changes to the Coyotes' blueline, even if Oliver Ekman-Larsson is still the star of that group.
The Coyotes traded for and then signed Alex Goligoski. They possibly grabbed a falling star in the draft, too, as they selected Jacob Chychrun. Adding Schenn might not be the last move, either.
Schenn isn't necessarily an analytics darling, but a two-year, $2.5 million deal is reasonable even with some flaws. This contract seems even more reasonable when you consider the five-year, $18 million deal that just expired.
Report: Maple Leafs, Holland are about $1M apart
Peter Holland's submitted salary request for arbitration is reportedly more than double what the Toronto Maple Leafs proposed.
With that in mind, Monday's pending hearing serves as a challenging deadline.
Holland's asking for $2.1 million in 2016-17 while Toronto is offering $900K, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman.
This comes a day after the Maple Leafs placed Holland on waivers, advancing the argument that he'd be worthy of a two-way deal. He cleared waivers today.
Granted, the Globe & Mail's James Mirtle wonders if Holland would clear waivers under normal circumstances:
Holland is a solid player, generating 27 points in 65 games with Toronto last season. He's a nice enough piece, but with the Maple Leafs in rebuild mode, they're not exactly anxious to pay supporting cast members more than necessary.
With such a context in mind, it should be intriguing to see how much either side will budge.
At the moment, the Maple Leafs seem to hold the advantage.
Report: Flyers, Schenn disagree on money, term with arbitration looming
It sounds like the Philadelphia Flyers have some work to do if they hope to avoid an arbitration hearing with Brayden Schenn.
The session would take place on Monday, so the clock is ticking.
While the differences in opinion aren't outright enormous, the Flyers still need to clean up their cap situation, so every $1 million counts. That – plus the length of a deal – seem to be the issue for the 24-year-old forward and the Flyers, according to Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman:
With the Flyers aiming for a two-year agreement while Schenn just wants one, it's not quite as simple as merely saying "split the difference."
Then again, that general logic could prove helpful. Perhaps the best path to a deal would be for the Flyers to edge closer to $5.5 million while convincing Schenn to sign for two years rather than one?
Of course, the Flyers could also offer Schenn more security in exchange for giving up some UFA years:
The physical forward really started to show why he was the fifth pick of the 2009 NHL Draft last season, setting career-highs in goals (26), assists (33) and points (59).
He's coming off of a two-year, $5 million contract, so Schenn can take heart in realizing he's heading toward a healthy raise even if he doesn't get everything he's asking for.
Wild, Schroeder settle on two-way deal
Jordan Schroeder might be a depth player for the Minnesota Wild – at least when he's with the big club – yet his situation provided a decent dollop of drama.
The two sides avoided salary arbitration by settling on a deal on Saturday, but not before the Wild "sent a message" by putting him on waivers.
That message was received, as Schroeder's one-year contract is a two-way deal.
CBC's Tim Wharnsby has the details regarding how the salary works out:
Schroeder has 107 regular season games under his belt, yet he's played more games with the Iowa Wild than the Minnesota Wild since joining the organization.
He might not like it, but a two-way deal makes sense considering his standing with the team.
Granted, there's the outside chance he'll flourish under Bruce Boudreau; Schroeder is still just 25 and was the 22nd pick of the 2009 NHL Draft.
If he unexpectedly blossoms, he'd have a lot more leverage next time around.

I use a Retina MacBook Pro. Most of the time I'm content to use the trackpad, when I'm taking it out and about especially. But when I'm at my desk I like to tether the laptop to a big screen and put it on a stand, so I can't use the trackpad comfortably. That's when it comes in handy to have a mouse to use instead. Of course, if you have a Mac mini, iMac, or Mac Pro, and Magic Trackpads aren't your thing, you'll need a mouse all the time.
Here's a roundup of five of my favorites. Most of them are wireless, and three of them are general purpose. Two are there for gamers. Hopefully you'll find one to fit the bill for what you're looking for. One note: All prices listed here are the manufacturer's suggested retail price. Your mileage may vary.
Apple Magic Mouse
Apple's Magic Mouse sports a beautiful, ambidextrous design, works elegantly using Apple's built-in drivers and looks great with your Macintosh.
Looking at it superficially, the Magic Mouse seems to have a "no button" design, but that belies some really clever electronics that recognize distinct left-button right-button key presses as well as scrolling and gestures.
Apple's Mouse system preference lets you thoroughly customize how the mouse works, from scroll direction to activating Mission Control or swiping between full-screen apps. And the system also shows you using little videos how to actually perform those gestures.
At $69, the Magic Mouse costs more than some of the other mice on this list, but if you're going for seamless system compatibility and elegant use, it's hard to go wrong with this one.

Razer Ouroborous Elite
Razer has distinguished itself as one of the finest purveyors of PC gaming products on the market, and they take special pride in their mice, made especially for gamers. If you're looking for a mouse that will give you an edge in the games that you play, check out the Ouroborous.
It sports an aggressive ambidextrous design that glows toxic green, a really mean looking piece of equipment. An adjustable arch lets you more easily rest your palm, and it's been designed to accommodate a wide range of mouse-grip styles, like claw grip, palm grip or finger grip. There are a total of 11 programmable buttons, and yes, Mac driver software is available.
Inside is a hair trigger-sensitive 8200 DPI sensor. It's wireless, communicating with a USB dock/receiver which recharges it when you attach the mouse to it. The Ouroborous works for about 12 hours per charge using a single AA NiMH battery (included).
- $149.99 - Buy now
Razer DeathAdder
If the Ouroborous is total overkill for you but you're still looking for a solid gaming mouse, I'd recommend having a look at Razer's DeathAdder instead. It's a wired mouse that sports five programmable buttons, rubber sides for improved grip and a 6400 DPI optical sensor. Razer makes a left-handed version for the sinister folks out there.
The DeathAdder just feels good in my hand. The slope of the mouse, the click of the buttons. Paired with the Razer Synapse driver software, the DeathAdder also works like gangbusters. The driver software paired with some sophisticated on-board electronics makes the DeathAdder a great choice for gamers looking for something that can be set up to spring like a bear trap or move a bit slower if necessary — eminently customizable.
- $69.99 - Buy now
Microsoft Sculpt Touch Mouse
Yes, believe it or not, Microsoft makes mice that work with the Mac. What's more, Microsoft's Sculpt Touch offering is one of the less expensive options on my list. It's got a nice feel to it, an ambidextrous design that makes it good regardless of which hand you favor, and supports Bluetooth, so it's wireless and without any sort of USB port-blocking receiver.
The optical sensor works on just about any surface, and it runs for nine months on a single pair of AA batteries. In place of the traditional scroll wheel is a touch sensor that works a little bit like the scroll gesture of the Magic Mouse.
- $49.99 - Buy now
Logitech M705 Marathon Mouse
If you're not averse to a wireless mouse that uses a (tiny) USB receiver, Logitech's M705 is great (provided you're a righty). It has an elegant shape that feels great in the hand, sports eight buttons and a scroll wheel.
The Marathon gets its name from its power-sipping circuitry, which Logitech claims works for up to three years on a single pair of AA batteries. At 1000 DPI this isn't a mouse that's likely to appeal to gamers, but it's a solid performer that's built well and designed to last a while. Logitech offers up Mac-compatible Control Center software to manage the mouse, and its unified receiver works with other Logitech peripherals.
- $49.99 - Buy now
Your favorite mouse for Mac?
Mice are a bit like shoes — they fit each person differently, and what you want and need out of your mouse may be entirely different than what I'm looking for. To that end, I won't be surprised if you think my choices are garbage and yours is much better. So I want to hear from you — what mouse do you like the most? Let me know in the comments.

Do Majority-Black Districts Limit Blacks' Representation? The Case of the 1990 Redistricting
Conventional wisdom and empirical academic research conclude that creating majority-black districts decreases black representation by increasing conservatism in Congress. However, this research generally suffers from three limitations: too low a level of aggregation, lack of a counterfactual, and failure to account for the endogeneity of the creation of majority-minority districts. I compare congressional delegations from states that during the 1990 redistricting were under greater pressure to create majority-minority districts with those under lesser pressure using a difference-in-differences framework. I find no evidence that the creation of majority-minority districts leads to more conservative House delegations. In fact, point estimates, although largely statistically insignificant, indicate that states that increased their shares of majority-black districts saw their delegations grow increasingly liberal. I find similar results for majority-Latino districts in the Southwest. Thus, I find no evidence for the common view that majority-minority districts decrease minority representation in Congress.

The laws of probability say that, at some point in time, someone is bound to sweep Thoroughbred racing's Triple Crown.
The heart tells a different tale.
On Saturday, the dark gray skies that cloaked Pimlico throughout the track's Preakness Day card fully captured the sense of gloom about what should be a sport's most joyous moment.
Orb, who seemed such an exciting Triple Crown contender at dawn on Saturday, proved at sunset to be no different in one regard than every other Kentucky Derby winner since 1978. Despite being a 3-5 favorite in the Preakness -- the middle jewel of the series -- Orb could do no better than finish a well-beaten fourth, some nine lengths behind a victorious 15-1 longshot named Oxbow.
He, like horses such as Spectacular Bid, Alysheba, Sunday Silence, Funny Cide, Smarty Jones and Big Brown, to name a few, was unable to complete the arduous task of winning three Classic races in five weeks.
Over the years, horses have come much closer to a Triple Crown sweep than Orb did. Derby and Preakness winner Real Quiet lost the 1998 Belmont by a nose, thwarting his bid.
Yet Orb seemed destined for much more than just coming close. He won the Derby as a favorite, cementing his superiority as the best 3-year-old. He was trained by Shug McGaughey, who has built a Hall of Fame career off having his horses in the peak of condition for famed graded stakes races at a mile or more. His jockey, Joel Rosario, is in the midst of a hot streak, the likes of which few riders have ever enjoyed.
And still, with the stars seemingly aligned so perfectly, Orb could not do what Affirmed accomplished in 1978 when he became the 11th -- and last -- Triple Crown winner.
He joined the likes of past Derby winners like Animal Kingdom, Super Saver, Mine That Bird, Street Sense and Giacomo, whose Triple Crown quest could not endure the second of three legs.
Even though it seemed so certain he would win at least the first two legs.
Instead, the wait goes on and will now extend past 3½ decades -- with perhaps more years of disappointment to come.
Logic might say otherwise, but the heart told a different tale on yet another Saturday when visions of a Triple Crown once again seemed as distant as a star in a far-off galaxy.

Video: Kansas City cop takes hilarious tumble
The officer attempts to move a large branch from the road when it snaps, sending him flying
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Thursday night's nasty weather took a toll on area vegetation and one Kansas City police officer.
At about 6:30 p.m., Officer Pepper Walker spotted a tree that had fallen onto Pleasant Valley Road near N. Jackson Avenue while on patrol.
Walker went to attempt to drag the tree off the roadway into a nearby ditch, but it was Walker who wound up on the ground after the branch he was using to drag the tree snapped. Walker suffered no injuries, bouncing right back up after the fall.

'Malcolm Willey House' - Frank Lloyd Wright
Here's a wonderful site put together by two owners of a Frank Lloyd Wright house presently being restored: the 1933 Malcolm Willey House. Plans, history, walk-throughs ... it's all there.
Wright on the Web describes the Willey House -- or 'The Garden Wall' as Wright called it, as "the 'bridge' between Wright's earlier prairie houses, and his later Usonian houses, the first of which was erected in 1937 near Madison, Wisconsin.
There's all the usual Flash plugin stuff that too many architectural sites have (and that can slow your browser right down) but on my computer at least it all works swimmingly. Whatever you do, try not to miss the 'tour' -- a 36 step 'walk-through the design and construction of the house. [Hat tip Wright in Minnesota]

The ROADRUNNER Dynamic Analysis Framework for Concurrent Programs
ROADRUNNER is a dynamic analysis framework designed to facilitate rapid prototyping and experimentation with dynamic analyses for concurrent Java programs. It provides a clean API for communicating an event stream to back-end analyses, where each event describes some operation of interest performed by the target program, such as accessing memory, synchronizing on a lock, forking a new thread, and so on. This API enables the developer to focus on the essential algorithmic issues of the dynamic analysis, rather than on orthogonal infrastructure complexities.
