First point - there is no regexec function in Standard C. Many people
would consider that you should ask your question in a group which
discusses contexts where regexec exists.
As regexec is part of POSIX, comp.unix.programmer seems a reasonable
choice. (If my newsreader allowed me to set followups I would...)

Second point. Even if you go to a more appropriate group, you will do
better giving decent data. A small self-contained testcase is vastly
better than a few snippets and a vague discussion.
Put the effort in to reduce your program to the smallest version which
illustrates the problem. Often by doing this, you'll solve the problem
yourself. If you still can't fix it, cut and paste the sample into your
posting, so that anyone else can see _exactly_ what the code is and
As I happened to have a suitable system to hand, I rapidly produced a
testcase which seemed to do what I expected from my manual pages. So
you need to produce a much better explanation of your problem.
When you've done so, please pursue this in a different newsgroup, not
Here for reference is what I tried :-
void is_matched(char *string, char *pattern) {
regex_t *reg = malloc(sizeof *reg);
regcomp(reg,pattern,REG_EXTENDED); /* needs error handling!*/
if (regexec(reg,string,(size_t)0,NULL,0) != 0) {
printf("[%s] appears not to contain [%s]\n",string,pattern);
} else {
printf("[%s] appears to contain [%s]\n",string,pattern);
int main(void) {
char *strings[] = {"abcfedghi", "abcdefghi","defghijkl", NULL};

Asbestos Information:
1921 E. Hartford Ave.
Built: 1973
Space: 63,621 asf, 110,634 gsf
Eight stories plus basement and penthouse
Building History: Plans to renovate Cunningham Hall are part of major projects in the Campus Physical Development Plan for 2005-2007.
Asbestos Information:
- Please see DOA-DFD WALMS inspection for room-by-room building survey.
- All original twelve inch floor tile is VAT and all mastic is ACM. Twelve-inch replacement tile and mastic may or may not be VAT; sample before any disturbance.
- Except for the Bell and Gossett heat exchangers, all homogeneous thermal system insulation (TSI or pipe insulation) sampled to date has been asbestos-free insulation. Fittings are woven cloth covered-"mud" and straight section pipe insulation is fiberglass. As of this printing, we have not found any ACM block (support) insulation on the pipe hangers.
- Tunnel segment from Point M to Cunningham has asbestos application.
- Interior walls are wallboard over metal studs.
- Ceiling tiles throughout the facility are homogeneous and are asbestos-free.
- Fire doors have not been sampled at time of this printing.
- The original elevator hoist-way doors were lined with transite; these doors were replaced as part of DSF Project #03J2T, Elevator Reconstruction (2005).
- Mechanical rooms in basement and second floor were originally sprayed with asbestos fire-proofing. Original building specifications called for: Asbestospray by Asbestospray Corporation of Newark, N.J; Blaze-Shield and Heat Shield by United States Mineral Products of Stanhope, N.J.; or Spray Craft by Smith & Kanzler of Linden, N.J. This material was removed in the late 1980s and replaced with asbestos-free material.
- Mastics for chalkboards and bulletin boards, sampled of this printing, have tested negative for ACM.
- We have not identified any acoustical plaster or scratch-coat in this building.
- Soffit boards of second floor overhang may be ACM transite board.
There is also the possibility that there could be ACM spray-on applied to the deck above these boards.

Shaping the Future Through Advanced R&D
Advanced research projects are a development gateway for innovative ideas, processes and solutions. Often awarded to Lockheed Martin by organizations such as the Intelligence Advanced Research Projects Activity (IARPA) and the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), advanced research projects open the door to uncharted possibilities.
Recently IS&GS-National and Advanced Technology Operations began work on two new advanced research projects, the Integrated Cognitive- Neuroscience Architectures for Understanding Sensemaking (ICArUS) project and the Cyber Genome project.
The human mind is a constant mystery and source of discovery — particularly the process we use to make decisions. In an effort to map this process, IARPA chose three teams — including one led by IS&GS-Advanced Technology Operations — to work a project known as ICArUS.
Each team is tasked with developing computational neuroscience models of the seven brain systems used for cognitive processing that explain, predict and emulate human sense-making. Each model will be produced with varying levels of granularity. The IS&GS-National team, known as FRAMES or the "Framework for Analogy and Memory Embodied in Spiking Neurons" team, will study and model the cognitive process on the neuron level. When complete, the models will accurately predict and imitate the behavior humans show when making decisions and performing complex analysis tasks, including cognitive biases and mistakes.
"Our goal is to build a model that exhibits the same cognitive behaviors as the human mind," said David Morgenthaler, principal research scientist and FRAMES program manager. "By doing so, we solidify our understanding of how the mind operates, which enables the Intelligence Community to better predict human-related strengths and weaknesses in the intelligence analysis process."
The FRAMES team consists of Advanced Technology Labs employees, as well as renowned researchers from universities throughout the country.
Cyber Genome
In addition to human neurological research, National is also undertaking a project awarded by DARPA, known as Cyber Genome. A joint effort between Lockheed Martin, GE Global Research and the University of California Riverside, Cyber Genome is a project to develop revolutionary cyber defense and investigatory technologies that will collect, identify and track cyber attack lineage in order to support DoD law enforcement, counter intelligence and cyber defense teams.
"In essence, we are working to map the 'DNA' of a cyber attack," said John Morrison, program lead for Cyber Genome. "The goal is that Cyber Genome will allow us to track incidents on a network, differentiate them from prior incidents, determine if they are harmful and assess their origin."
This program comes as cyber attacks aimed at critical infrastructure, such as nuclear power plants, the electrical grid and high-value military and infrastructure assets, continue to grow and become more sophisticated to combat. Read the full Connect article here.

Paul during White Album era, for sure...
I'm Necko. I'm like Ringo except I wear necklaces.
I'm also ewe2 on weekends.
Necko said
Paul during White Album era, for sure...
Let me take you down 'cause I'm going to...Strawberry Fields.
RS- John
Revolver- Paul/John- John contributed IOS, SSSS, TNK. Paul- ER, HTAE, etc.
Pepper- Paul. John had some really good songs on this though.
WA- John/Paul. I'd give the slight edge to John I guess.
Abbey Road- Paul. George was close. But Paul took over after Epstein died.
Please Please Me: Paul, but only just. If John didn't have that nasty cold he would have taken it.
With The Beatles: John
A Hard Day's Night: John, but again this is close. All of Paul's songs on this album are classics.
Beatles For Sale: John, again only just. "I Don't Want To Spoil The Party" is one of his best songs and certainly one of their most underrated.
Help!: John, though this might be the closest between John and Paul
Rubber Soul: Paul, although "In My Life" almost wins it for John here. I've always thought "Girl" was a tad overrated (Sorry!) and I've never cared for "Run For Your Life"
Revolver: Paul's talent explodes on this record. John's songs are all great but the psychedelic rockers start to sound a tad too similar after a while. Every one of Paul's contributions are absolutely incredible. George also really shines on this record. What an album.
Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band: Paul wins this one going away, although I do love "Within You Without You".
Magical Mystery Tour (Capitol version): The EP songs are good but I wouldn't consider any of them classics, so John edges out Paul thanks to "All You Need Is Love"
The Beatles: I love this album so this is the most difficult for me. Really, really close between John, Paul and George, but I have to give it to John. George contributes two of his all-time best songs (I said in another thread that "Long, Long, Long" is my absolute favorite song and I realize I'm in the minority on that!) but all of John's except for "Bungalow Bill" and "Yer Blues" are absolute top notch. "Happiness Is A Warm Gun" might be my favorite Lennon song.
Yellow Submarine: George edges out John simply because of George's two songs to John's one (counting only previously unreleased songs). I get the feeling that George's two other 1967 contributions are either loved or hated by the fans, but I love them both.
Let It Be: Paul was the only one interested in this project and it shows.
Abbey Road: George. Paul has the medley(most of it, anyway) and John's songs are great, but George's two songs here might be the best two he ever wrote. Ringo steps up with one of his best, too. A wonderful end to the best band ever.
How could I ever have lost you when I loved you?
TheOneBeatleManiac said
With The Beatles: John again (though Paul has All My Loving & Till There Was You here, and those are classics).
A Hard Day's Night: Obviously John (probably the album with more John than anybody, though Paul is not behind with all his three leads - All My Loving, Can't Buy Me Love, Things We Said Today).
You appear to have listed this twice. Once correctly, once incorrectly. Just letting you know.
(This signature brought to you by Spaghetti Tuesdays. Occurring on Wednesdays since 2013.)
This is quite tough but I guess this is it:
Please Please Me - John
WTB - John (but All My Loving rules)
AHDN - John (but Things We Said Today and And I Love Her are two of my fav songs)
BFS - John (I'm A Loser is just awesome!)
Help - John (Paul comes closer with Yerterday and I've Just Seen A Face)
Rubber Soul - John's songs in this album are some of the best songs that he ever wrote (In My Life and Nowhere Man are brilliant!)
Revolver - Paul (Eleanor Rigby is amazing and Here, There And Everywhere is such a touching and charming song) but Tomorrow Never Knows is the best song of the album for me.
Sgt. Peppers - Paul no doubt.
MMT - Tie between John and Paul.
White - John and George have the best songs in general. (McCa is kind of "meh" with songs like Martha or I Will)
YS- George.
Let It Be - Paul.
Abbey Road - Paul (the medley man! just frekin' awesome!) but George songs are classics!
"If there's a thing such as genius. I am one. And if there isn't, I don't care." - John Lennon
Please Please Me - John (Please Please Me)
With The Beatles - John (It Won't Be Long)
Hard Day's Night - John (Hard Day's Night)
Beatles For Sale - John (No Reply)
Rubber Soul - Paul (Baby You Can Drive My Car)
Revolver - Paul (Eleanor Rigby)
Sgt. Pepper's - John (A Day In The Life) **

** Best Album
It's quite characteristic of the "John" personality type to go full-on guns blazing into some new venture, only to lose interest after a while and become quite apathetic. John did this at almost every turn in his life - he was besotted with Cynthia (as his letters from Hamburg show) but eventually lost interest, and then Yoko suddenly became the answer to everything; he thought the Maharishi could slip him "the answer," and then just as quickly turned venomous towards the guru; he was prepared to promote Primal Scream to the ends of the earth when he first discovered it, then grew tired of it.
So also, I think, with The Beatles. It's everything he ever wanted, at first, and he went after it 100%. Then he got bored, and restless, and by the end he wanted "a divorce." I think his contributions to each album tell that story in spades.
On Please Please Me, he was a dominant force. Hell, he single-handedly wrote the chart-topping single of the same name that put The Beatles on the map. Paul's major contribution was "I Saw Her Standing There," which is nothing to sneeze at, but if we're pitting songs like "There's A Place" or "Ask Me Why" against something like "P.S. I Love You," John wins this contest handily.
I'd give With the Beatles to John as well. He and Paul went pretty well tit-for-tat in terms of original material (I'll see your "All My Loving" and raise you a "It Won't Be Long"), but there's just so much John energy on this album - the emotion he invests in "Postman" or "You Really Got A Hold On Me."
With A Hard Day's Night, I think John hit his productive peak. It's not even close - something like ten songs, to McCartney's three? After this, I think John starts getting tired of the whole thing, and gradually begins to drop off.
They were all so busy that practically no one had time to write original material for Beatles For Sale, and the stuff they did write is, in my book, pretty much a wash. Either John and Paul wrote stuff together (like "Eight Days A Week"), or their individual contributions aren't really all that strong (e.g., "What You're Doing" and "Baby's In Black").
As they moved into Help!, I think John started getting more selective. He was less concerned about cranking out another hit song, and more interested in writing about his own life, experiences, feelings, etc. This is where I think John's stuff becomes far more personal (and therefore polarizing), and Paul starts to crank out the commercial polish. With songs like "I've Just Seen A Face" and "Yesterday," Paul starts to step into the hit-maker role a bit more, even if John's "Help!" and "You've Got To Hide Your Love Away" are solid to the core.
Rubber Soul is also something of a wash. John nailed it with stuff like "Nowhere Man" and "Girl," but Paul was keeping pace nicely with things like "You Won't See Me," "Drive My Car," and "I'm Looking Through You." John continues moving inward, Paul continues shining up the marquee.
Revolver is where John really starts to lose a few steps. I think this is where his boredom with the Beatles really starts to show up. He's writing songs about being lazy, or songs that he would later call "a throwaway" (like "And Your Bird Can Sing"). He throws some real effort into "Tomorrow Never Knows," but again, it's because he'd found something interesting that got him excited. Otherwise, his contributions continued to be very selective, while Paul flexed his musical muscles and knocked out some major hits in several different musical genres - "Eleanor Rigby," "Got To Get You Into My Life," "Yellow Submarine," "Here, There, and Everywhere," and "Good Day Sunshine" all go to very different places musically, but they're all breathtaking.
We all know Sgt. Pepper was Paul's baby, start to finish. John more-or-less phones it in for most of this album - I enjoy "Mr. Kite" as much as anyone, but let's face it, he wrote it straight off a circus poster. He was starting to lose more and more time on endless drug trips, sleeping in, and lounging around the house. "Good Morning" came from a television commercial. He seems to have found some inspiration in "Lucy," but that's about as far as he got. Yes, "Day in the Life" is amazing, but that's also a Len-Mac collaboration, so you can't really credit that one to either of them.
After that, John and Paul's paths grow increasingly further apart. Magical Mystery Tour, The White Album, and so on, are indicators of what their future solo careers will look like. John will write songs that mean something to him, his output will lag behind Paul's, and the results will be mixed, because songs that are personally interesting can be very polarizing. Paul will increase his output, and as a result he will write an incredible number of fantastic stinkers, as well as an unbelievable number of hits. To this day, I will listen to songs like "How?", "Watching The Wheels," or "Crippled Inside," and think that Paul never came close to that level of insight; and at the same time, when I listen to a greatest hits collection, I end up skipping far more of John's songs than I do Paul's.
So I think they split the results. John was stronger at the start, and gradually backed away out of lack of interest while Paul moved to the forefront. One thing is certain, though: George wins Abbey Road, hands down.
Not a bit like Cagney.
Brilliant post! You've made me think properly about the point you've raised - that John's gradual disinterest is reflected in his work. I've never really thought much about that before.
One thing though, I don't see the problem with where John got his inspiration from to write For The Benefit.... It's a good song. He was inspired to write A Day In The Life from a paper, and yet few would call this anything but a masterpiece. So I don't think that really says anything at all about his losing interest in writing, and therefore his quality and quantity of songs for the group.
Moving along in our God given ways, safety is sat by the fire/Sanctuary from these feverish smiles, left with a mark on the door.

Sure, it's a good song, and that's a testament to John's talent as a musician. I just meant that it strikes me as something of a half-assed effort in terms of songwriting, you know, he needed to contribute some music for this project that Paul was all fired up about, so ... "Here, I have a poster, I'll just take a bunch of lines straight from there."
If I remember the story correctly, he couldn't even be troubled to get off the couch, so he squinted at the poster across the room and tried to copy what words he could see.
Not a bit like Cagney.
Great analysis! (Love "I'll see your "All My Loving" and raise you a "It Won't Be Long").
I see where you're coming from, but I don't think it's that straightforward. Yes, by all accounts Lennon had a tendency to get wound up about something and then drop it. Yet, I don't think you can put the Beatles in that category. He'd been in the band 10 years or so before he decided to go in another direction and had achieved all the fame he could have ever imagined. So the Beatles were hardly a passing fancy. As he would say himself, Lennon was naturally lazy, and once he achieved fame, his laziness got the better of him (as did the drugs). So yes, by the time Pepper came around he was too drugged or too lazy to expend huge amounts of time to the band (or his wife or his son). Copying lyrics point blank from a poster fit right in. And what about the lyrics to "Good Morning, Good Morning" ("I've got nothing to say…")? Seems to me he was bored with life in general, no more so the Beatles than anything else.
But yes, I agree that Lennon in some ways was running out of steam after Rubber Soul, though ironically many of his greatest songs were written after that album. I attribute that happy circumstance to the artistically fruitful combination of compositional genius, drugs, terrific band mates + a terrific producer.

Well, but ultimately The Beatles were a "passing fancy" to John - maybe they didn't come and go overnight like a flash in the pan, but ultimately they did go from being John's #1 obsession to being the one thing he wanted to get away from.
I wouldn't say it took 10 years for him to get bored of the whole thing. It just took him that long to find something else that really excited him (Yoko, in this case) and gave him a reason to make a definitive break. The "lazy" factor is an indicator here. The "John" personality isn't necessarily inherently lazy, but they tend to be incredibly lazy when they're not on fire for some new venture. When John was "on fire" for The Beatles, he was anything but lazy, and he broke his back working to get the group into the international spotlight. Heck, even when it was just The Quarrymen, he was highly motivated and worked very hard for a long time to get to that next level.
He recaptured some of the fire when he met Yoko and was suddenly all about new artistic projects and promoting peace.
But anyway, the point is, John's tend to get lazy when they get bored and no longer believe in the importance of the work they're doing, so when I see that John was starting to do a lot more lounging around the house during the Pepper project, for me that's an indicator that he was getting quite bored with The Beatle project. Understandably so, too, because he'd accomplished what he wanted to accomplish: unheard-of fame and fortune. And it still didn't make him happy, so, "on to the next thing."
Here's an interesting theory/speculation to mull over: if there hadn't been a "Paul" personality type in the group - the ever-driven, ever-motivated, loves-to-work-his-butt-off type - would The Beatles have even recorded another album after Brian Epstein died? I tend to doubt it. But that's another discussion, I suppose.

I love reading well written posts. You obviously put a lot of thought into it and you had me on most points, but not about him being apathetic. I may be wrong, but I think his attentions simply went elsewhere - as you said, on to the next thing. To be fair, there are many accounts of him saying he was lazy, tired, always sleeping, etc... Some of it was the sheer boredom of living so far away from the action of London, some of it was from the drugs from late '64 forward, some of it was a combination of both. In the past, I was also convinced he had gotten increasingly lazy - I've even posted that in these very pages. But the more I thought about it... Consider where his energy was directed at different stages.
In the early days, his energy was spent largely trying to write hit pop singles. George Martin has said that even at the point of the second album, they were still thinking in terms of singles - filling an album with pop songs. But, as he mastered this (I agree that A Hard Day's Night was his peak for '63/'64) he got bored. Instead of apathetic, however, I feel he just turned his energy toward writing more meaningful songs. To me, Beatles For Sale is such a fascinating album. Part of it feels like the rush job that it was and the other part shows flashes of John dabbling in the personal ('I'm A Loser' and to a degree, 'I Don't Want To Spoil The Party'. An energy shift, if you will indulge me.
As for '65, I feel he started caring less about quantity and stared to dwell more on quality. The quality I speak of is in terms of meaning - songs that say something besides, "please buy this record". HELP! and Rubber Soul feature Lennon songs that both rock and say something at the same time. 'HELP!', 'Ticket To Ride' and 'The Word' leap to mind. Other songs were deeper, more meaningful - 'You've Got To Hide Your Love Away', 'In My Life' etc...
Now 66 - 68.

... Sgt. Pepper ... John more-or-less phones it in for most of this album - I enjoy "Mr. Kite" as much as anyone, but let's face it, he wrote it straight off a circus poster. He was starting to lose more and more time on endless drug trips, sleeping in, and lounging around the house.
One man's apathy is another man's energy shift. OK, so how energetic can you be when you spend a good deal of time in a drug-induced haze? So let's get off the word energy and replace it with focus. Having evolved well past pop writing, his focus seemed to be less on the words and more about sound. While his written words may have "lost a step" in some cases, the sounds he wanted to create leaped ahead. From Revolver forward are some of my absolute favorite John songs. They were not always the most brilliant lyrically but oh-my-friggin'-word, the songs sounded so cool and/or beautiful. You felt something when you heard them. He wanted people to feel as though they were hearing a Tibetan Monk in 'Tomorrow Never Knows'. 'Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite' was absolutely nicked from a poster. That can be seen by some as lazy/apathetic. But consider this. He just did not care about the words, he wanted to create a feeling. Most of us know the story of how he told George Martin that he wanted to "smell the sawdust" from the circus (paraphrasing) when he heard the song. Who else in 1967 was thinking that way? 'Good Morning, Good Morning' was taken from a TV commercial? You betcha...for about 7 seconds at the beginning and a couple more few-second intervals in between. The rest of the song flows so melodically and tells a story that no cereal maker in their right mind would want associated with their product - would you want your kids thinking about "watching the skirts" while eating their Corn Flakes? I just don't buy into that jazz about how "he stole that song from a commercial". Two of his most iconic songs are 'Strawberry Fields Forever' and 'I Am The Walrus'. Forgive my memory as to which one, but wasn't he very disappointed with one of them because it did not sound the way he heard it in his head? Seriously? That sounds to me like a man who knew what he wanted. The Beatles features songs that tell stories from the trip to India (Dear Prudence, Sexy Sadie, etc...). Just ordinary, dull stories set to some pretty damn cool music. They could have been stories about someone clipping their toenails on the banks of the Ganges and he would have made it sound beautiful.
(sung to the tune of Sexy Sadie)
Clipped my toenail - where did it Go?
I've seemed to lost it in the sun.
I've seemed to lost it in the suuuuuuuuuu-uuuuuuuuuun
Clipped my toenail - oh where did it go?
After that, the boredom/stifling/whatever-you-want-to-call-it got to the point where he wanted less and less to do with the band and more and more to do with other things - the next things. Wanting to move on is not apathy in my book.
^^^Wasn't the one he thought he messed up "Tomorrow Never Knows"? He said he wanted the chanting
John wins em all in my book save for a tie on Rubber Soul with Paul, Paul wins SPLHCB, George gets YS for "Its All Too Much" being incredible. Let It Be is a tie of all of them
I say Ringo wins Abbey Road for singing the chorus in "Carry That Weight"
"P. P. P. P. S- L. P. Winner."
Paul is my favorite Beatle. But Lennon was easily the best on Rubber Soul
Norwegian Wood, In My Life, Nowhere Man, Girl, etc

Global tablet shipments reached a record of 52.5 million units in the fourth quarter of 2012, according to a new report.
Jumping from 29.9 million units in the fourth quarter of 2011, the tablet market grew a staggering 75.3% year over year. It also increased 74.3% from 30.1 million units in the previous quarter, the International Data Corporation wrote.
"Lower average selling prices, a wide range of new product offerings and increased holiday spending all acted as catalysts to push the already climbing tablet market to record levels."

When Budget Deal Comes, Stocks Seen Having More Room to Rally
Buy the rumor, buy the fact?
Senate leaders in both parties were putting the finishing touches on an agreement to temporarily raise the nation's debt ceiling and fully reopen the government. As a deal nears, many in the market expect a continued rally in stocks, even though that's been the base case scenario for investors all along.
Even before the partial government shutdown kicked in on Oct. 1, investors expected a last-minute package that would head off a federal government default. That optimism kept losses relatively small over the past two weeks.
"It may be a bumpy ride, but you don't want to miss that day when an agreement is reached," said Joseph Tanious, global market strategist at J.P. Morgan Funds, which manages $400 billion in assets. Mr. Tanious has encouraged investors to hang on and "see through the noise," he said.
The S&P 500 was up for the fifth time in six sessions Wednesday morning–recently up 17.22 points, or 1%, to 1715.28—on optimism that a deal would be reached by the Treasury Department's Thursday deadline.
The rally leaves the benchmark index just 0.6% away from the Sept. 18 record of 1725.52.
Some investors are more disappointed about the lack of worry on Wall Street than they are about the dysfunction in Washington. "Some [investors] were looking for a greater pullback to use as a buying opportunity," said Joseph Quinlan, chief market strategist at U.S. Trust, Bank of America Private Wealth Management. "This shutdown has not provided a buying opportunity for the retail investor."
So despite the market's recent surge in anticipation of a budget deal, "we should get a nice push upward" if a deal is reached, Mr. Quinlan said.
One potential source of buying are long-term investors who have been building cash stockpiles, looking for any pullback on bad news out of Washington as a chance to add to stock positions.
Gordon Charlop, who leads New York Stock Exchange floor trading operations at Rosenblatt Securities Inc., a New York brokerage, said many investors are worried about being left behind if stocks shoot higher when a deal is hatched.
Such a "performance squeeze," was evident last Thursday, when the Dow rocketed more than 300 points after lawmakers showed signs of coming together, Mr. Charlop said.
"Equities have had a good year, and anyone caught out there saying, 'I'm not in this,' runs the risk of redemptions," he said.
Some say, however, that not just any deal will do. A short-term resolution that just puts off hitting the debt ceiling for a few weeks would be a disappointment.
"The S&P could see a 20- to 30-point gain on the news," said Wayne Wilbanks, chief investment officer at Wilbanks, Smith, Thomas in Norfolk, Va., which manages about $2.5 billion in assets. "But a lot will depend on the composition of the resolution," with a higher degree of negotiations on both sides being greeted with a bigger rally, he said.
Not all are as optimistic. Scott Armiger, chief investment officer of Christiana Trust in Greenville, Del., which oversees $5.6 billion, says a resolution is already priced in, and sees another potential fly in the ointment: corporate earnings.
A deal in Washington would return investor attention to third-quarter earnings, which are expected to show an increase of just 0.8%, according to FactSet.
"The estimates have been coming down significantly for a while," he said. "It's still very, very early, but we're not getting any impressive hits."

 Rick Scott's role in Columbia/HCA scandal commented on 'HCA wants trauma center fight bumped to state Supreme Court' tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451b26169e2019affb6387b970d 2013-10-01T12:06:16Z 2013-10-01T12:06:16Z Rick Scott's role in Columbia/HCA scandal The Miami Herald looks today at Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott's role in the Medicaid fraud case at his former...
The Miami Herald looks today at Republican gubernatorial candidate Rick Scott's role in the Medicaid fraud case at his former company.

``As I have said repeatedly, Columbia/HCA made mistakes, and I take responsibility for what happened on my watch as CEO,'' Scott said in a written statement Friday. He has denied knowing frauds were taking place while he was there, and he was never charged with any crimes.

However, federal investigators found that Scott took part in business practices at Columbia/HCA that were later found to be illegal -- specifically, that Scott and other executives offered financial incentives to doctors in exchange for patient referrals, in violation of federal law, according to lawsuits the Justice Department filed against the company in 2001.

The doctor payments were among 10 different kinds of fraud identified by the Justice Department in its 10-year probe of the company, records show. Three years after Scott left Columbia/HCA, the company admitted wrongdoing, pleading guilty to 14 felonies -- most committed during Scott's tenure -- in addition to paying two sets of fines totaling $1.7 billion...

Whether or not Scott was aware of his company's questionable conduct, the breadth of the problems raises questions about Scott's leadership, management experts say.

Nell Minow of the Corporate Library, a watchdog group, put it this way: ``Being ignorant of all that doesn't inspire confidence.'' In judging a CEO, she said, ``it's no better to be a schnook than a crook.''

The key question for Scott is whether he can persuade voters that he deserves to be chief executive of Florida while at the same time insisting that he knew nothing about the greatest Medicare fraud in American history as it happened under his nose.

Today he unveiled his first report: at the moment it seems we're headed for a surprising D66+SP+VVD coalition. This is not yet final; anything can change, and it's not a combination local politics watchers considered likely, but it's where we are now. Source: Parool.]]>
Updated a few hours after original publication with news of the PVV meltdown.
What initially seemed a (for him) pretty standard tactic seems to be blowing up in Wilders's face,]]>
Broadly speaking, the PvdA lost disastrously, and the VVD rather less so. D66 was the big winner, followed by the SP and small christian CU and SGP. The CDA lost seats but not nearly as many as was predicted.]]>
From 1946 to 1994 the CDA (and its predecessor parties) sat in government and decided on a case-by-case basis whether to form a coalition with PvdA or VVD. Then the CDA itself started to belong to the right but that didn't change its position in politics. It could go over left, and did so occasionally just to remind the VVD.]]>
Today we'll continue with extreme-right PVV, Geert Wilders's party.]]>

Keith Rabois Joins Khosla Ventures
Keith Rabois is joining venture-capital firm Khosla Ventures, just weeks after resigning as chief operating officer of Square following allegations of sexual harassment from an employee at the mobile payments company.
Mr. Rabois, 43 years old, will begin his new role at Khosla next month. AllThingsD, which like The Wall Street Journal is owned by News Corp., earlier reported that Mr. Rabois was weighing an offer from the venture firm. The Wall Street Journal also earlier reported that Mr. Rabois was discussing other opportunities, including a potential operating role at startup Airbnb.
Vinod Khosla, Khosla's founding partner, said in an interview that Mr. Rabois had lots of other venture firms and companies "scrambling to get him." He added that Khosla brought on Mr. Rabois because the longtime tech executive has "seen companies grow" and "seen all the ups and downs."
"Keith has walked in those shoes and ridden the roller coaster" so "he can offer venture assistance," said Mr. Khosla.
Mr. Rabois, who has been a prolific early investor in companies ranging from YouTube, Yammer, Eventbrite, Palantir to Airbnb, said he has long planned to become a professional investor–but was previously interrupted from this "default plan" by persuasive entrepreneurs who convinced him to join startups like Square and Slide.
"I put my default plan on hold," said Mr. Rabois. Now "I'm super excited to join Khosla Ventures."
Mr. Rabois has long known the principals at Khosla. Khosla invested in Slide in 2007, where Mr. Rabois was working at the time. Khosla is also an investor in Square.
Messrs. Khosla and Rabois said there aren't any specific investment areas that Mr. Rabois will be limited to investing in. Khosla has been a vocal investor in clean technology companies, but also invests in consumer and enterprise technology.
Mr. Rabois knows the consumer Internet space well but said his investment philosophy will be driven by "the right entrepreneur meeting the right opportunity."
Mr. Khosla said Mr. Rabois becomes one of a half dozen or so senior investment professionals at the firm, where titles are shunned.
Following his departure from Square, Mr. Rabois denied the sexual harassment allegations and said he resigned so as not to cause a distraction. In a statement at the time, he said, "I deeply regret that I let my personal and professional lives to become intertwined."

vsync not working for me [solved] (by updating drivers)Posted Tuesday, 29 April, 2014 - 01:52 by Boogiwoogie in
hi there!
i try to enable vsync on the GamewindowSimple.cs file, and it doesnt kick in. i try both on ubuntu 12.04 64bit, with catalyst 13.12 drivers and windows 7 with drivers that date back to 2011 (cant update those because its a notebook and it doesnt let me).
i digged a little bit around in the opentk source code and noticed that the SwapInterval is never actually used, however there seems to be some binding magic that is beyond my understanding anyway.
GameWindow.VSync = ... calls
implementation.Context.SwapInterval = ... internally, where "implementation" is an instance of WinGLContext, X11GLContext, CocoaContext or EglContext depending on your platform.
There were a couple of bugs related to vsync in the develop branch, which have been fixed now. Try compiling a debug version from github - if vsync fails for any reason, you should get an error message in the output window.
i just pulled the develop branch from github, and it seems as if the setter is not called at all.
if i move the debug log up a few lines, it should be called at least once, right?
i start examples, that switch vsync to vsyncmode.od, but no log message.
public override int SwapInterval { get { [...] } set { Debug.Print("about to call wglSwapIntervalEXT"); lock (LoadLock) { if (vsync_supported) { if (value < 0 && !vsync_tear_supported) {
this is in WinGLContext.cs, using win 7, vs express 2013, debug config
i also spammed breakpoints on the setter, to no avail
settings in the catalyst control center about vsync dont have an effect either, it stays disabled
Yes, the debug message should show up if you are compiling the Debug configuration. Note that the OpenTK.Examples project launches examples in child processes, which means that breakpoints will not be triggered in Visual Studio.
For what it is worth, I just tried the following code on Windows and vsync appears to be set correctly:
static void Main() { using (var gw = new GameWindow()) { gw.VSync = VSyncMode.Adaptive; gw.Run(); } }
This calls the WinGLContext.SwapInterval setter as expected.
The only thing I can think is that SDL2 is in your path and you are running the SDL2 backend instead (so Sdl2GraphicsContext.SwapInterval is being called instead.) Otherwise, I simply cannot see why would be seeing this behavior.
alright, i did the same thing, added a project with:
using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.Threading.Tasks; using OpenTK; namespace ConsoleApplication1 { class Program { static void Main(string[] args) { using (var gw = new GameWindow()) { gw.VSync = VSyncMode.On; gw.Run(); } } } }
now it gives me debug messages into the output screen, seems all good imho:
Eine Ausnahme (erste Chance) des Typs "System.DllNotFoundException" ist in OpenTK.dll aufgetreten. SDL2 init failed with exception: System.DllNotFoundException: Die DLL "SDL2.dll": Das angegebene Modul wurde nicht gefunden.

Das Programm "[6740] ConsoleApplication1.vshost.exe" wurde mit Code 0 (0x0) beendet.
those "about to call wglSwapIntervalEXT" show up, so you are right, all vsync related code seems to work just fine.
i didnt put code to measure the fps in, but the taskmanager reveals that its running at 100% on one core, so vsync is still disabled.
i guess i leave this issue for now and go with a sleep(16) in the OnRenderFrame() method. i am sick of my notebooks fan starting to scream at every run ;)
thank you for having had a look at it, tho!
the taskmanager reveals that its running at 100% on one core, so vsync is still disabled.
VSync simply synchronizes SwapBuffers with the video retrace signal. This doesn't automatically reduce your CPU usage - the drivers are free to spinlock the CPU if they desire (and a lot of them do.)
To reduce CPU usage, you should enable VSync *and* call Thread.Sleep(1) to yield the CPU.
here is how things turned out for me:
i started spamming debug.prints all over the swapinterval setter, noticed that i can also read out the value and confirm that opengl actually eats it. set it to 1, read out 1, all good. still no vsync, tho. so i started looking for non-opentk applications that use opengl and support vsync. i noticed that my opengl driver is a mess, nothing really worked smoothly as soon as opengl got involved.
so i went out into the web, looking for a new driver. found a weirdly hacked and modded ati driver that seemed to fit my notebook (it has that awkward ati/intel dynamic switching stuff in it). however, i installed it.
long story short: i feel dirty now, and opentk's vsync finally works! i copied the dynamic vbo example into my project, set vsyncmode to on and got a solid 60 fps and a couple of percent cpu usage.
Thanks for the update. Yes, laptop drivers can be really annoying sometimes, especially when multiple GPUs are involved.

Stop Waiting for Everything to be Perfect
Photo of Ria G. Rombaoa
Take the opportunity today to stop waiting for everything to be perfect.
Are you one of those people that likes to think of themselves as a perfectionist? If you are, has anything you've ever done been perfect? I'm going to stick my neck out and guess not. The trouble with perfection is it's unattainable.
It can be a great excuse for not finishing stuff.
Here's a suggestion…finish it. Whatever IT is, get it done, stop worrying about the possibility that there might be some errors in it or that some vital component might get omitted. Get it done then get it out there.
You can tinker with it and update it later, you'll get plenty of feedback I promise you.
Stop worrying that it won't be perfect.
Now, what excuse can you use for not finishing it?

B.C. Orders Enbridge to Seek New Environment Certificate for Northern Gateway
Emma Gilchrist | April 11, 2016
By Emma Gilchrist • Monday, April 11, 2016 - 17:04
Enbridge will have to secure an environmental assessment certificate from the B.C. government if it wants to proceed with its Northern Gateway oil pipeline according to an order issued by B.C.'s Environmental Assessment Office on Friday.
Early on in the Northern Gateway process, the B.C. government signed an "equivalency agreement" with the federal government, giving Ottawa the responsibility for the environmental assessment.
However, a Supreme Court of B.C. decision this January found that the B.C. government acted improperly and that the province must still make its own decision about issuing an environmental assessment certificate.

haha, neglected to mention. too many amazing things in your life perhaps to remark on something so comparatively unremarkable
Oh and congratulations Tim – as a once loyal (Sydney makes it difficult) RRR listener I applaud. I think I still miss the Saturday arvo staple Cheese Shop Live with Dave Taranto and audience regular "bandicoot man". Ah the olden days. I'm interested to see Best of the Brat still exists too; that show is ancient.

Extended Benefits Kept U.S. Jobless Rate Higher, Study Says
After the recession, extended jobless benefits kept the unemployment rate half a percentage point higher than it otherwise would have been, according to new research from the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta.
Extending the maximum length of benefits beyond 26 weeks made highly educated unemployed people "more 'relaxed' and more patient in selecting jobs," wrote Lei Fang and Jun Nie in a new working paper, "Human Capital Dynamics and the U.S. Labor Market." Had unemployment benefits not been extended, they estimated, "the unemployment rate during the 2010-2012 period would have been 0.5 percentage point lower than the actual level."
Making benefits available to people who have been out of work for more than six months has been the subject of national debate in recent months, with federal funding for extended benefits expiring in late December. Many economists say the end of extended benefits will help bring down the unemployment rate, which stood at 6.6% in January, as unemployed people take jobs or drop out of the workforce.
One of the findings by Ms. Fang, an economist at the Atlanta Fed, and Mr. Nie, an economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Kansas City, in their paper was that extended benefits kept the unemployment rate higher than it otherwise would have been, especially for more-educated workers. Economic output was depressed because fewer people were working, but extended benefits also increased labor productivity because they "allowed unemployed workers to be more patient in selecting jobs" and find better matches, the economists wrote.
Their findings follow earlier research by Makoto Nakajima, a senior economist at the Federal Reserve Bank of Philadelphia. Mr. Nakajima estimated extended jobless benefits accounted for 1.2 percentage points of the jump in the unemployment rate from the end of 2007 to the fall of 2009.

MN Records releases the opera "Facing Goya"Apr 18th, 2011
Facing Goya is a taut thriller that follows one woman's passionate search for the 18th Century Spanish artist Goya's missing skull. Her journey takes us into the dangerous world of racial stereotyping, gene therapy, cloning and humankind's follies as seen through Goya's paintings, etchings and captions. The idea for the opera arose from Michael Nyman's fascination with the insidious study of craniometry that developed in the 1870s.
Goya was regarded as one of the greatest painters of his time. Buried in Bordeaux, legend has it that he asked friends to ensure his head was removed prior to burial to prevent the early craniometrists and researchers of eugenics from getting hold of his brain.
Box Set includes Full Libretto and extensive booklet notes.
Contains FREE BONUS CD of highlights of Michael Nyman's two previously released operas on MN Records.
Release date: 26 April 2011

|Assessment and analysis by actual test run
The development team started a challenge to indicate in numbers the light-effort handling (steering effort) and the front end shake from kickback. Analyzing the handling characteristics at low speeds and the front end shake from kickback at high speeds, the development team then determined target damping characteristics. What the damping force should be for light-effort handling? What the damping force should be to reduce front end shake from kickback? The answer is the development of an unprecedented steering damper that allows altering of the damping force by an electronic control system depending on the running conditions.
|Need of a control system
|After repeating various tests, it was clarified
that the damping force of a steering damper has to be altered
depending on the requirements. While some conventional steering
dampers permit damping force adjustment by a manual operation,
the development team set the goal at realization of an optimum
damping force in any running conditions. To accomplish the goal,
a new challenge began toward the world's first system
having an automatic control system employing electronic control.
Target minimum damping force
The light-effort handling is attainable by choosing a small damping force from the hydraulic steering damper. The development team increased the damping force of the steering damper step by step, tested and analyzed the results, and determined the damper characteristics
Target maximum damping force
To reduce front end shake from kickback at high speeds, a steering damper that offers a large damping force is required. The development team increased the damping force of the steering damper step by step, tested and analyzed the results, and determined the damper characteristics for effective reduction of front end shake from kickback. As the damping force is increased, the front end shake decreased. It is found more effective to apply a large damping force from where the steering angle and the steering angular velocity are low.
Relief valve
If the damping force is increased in accordance with the increase of steering angular velocity with the target maximum damping force maintained constant, the pressure in the damper will become high, resulting in a large-size equipment. It is, however, clarified that if an appropriate damping force can be provided from the low steering angular velocity zone, the front end shake from kickback can be adequately reduced even with a small damping force. Accordingly, by incorporating the relief valve that permits controlling of the relief pressure, and relieving the pressure above the prescribed level, the optimum size and specifications of the damper unit has been attained.
|Control parameters
|When a steering damper is equipped, the rider feels that the steering is heavy, more noticeably at low speeds. It is because when the speed is low, the rider has to use more positive steering inputs. Consequently, the steering angular velocity increases. On the other hand, the front end shake from kick back tends to occur more often at a high speed or during acceleration. Such a phenomenon occurs because the higher the speed, the more load is applied to the steering system in the direction of travel, and the load on the front tire is low during acceleration. Considering these factors, the development team applied such principles into the control map that "reduce damping force at low speeds for light-effort steering", "increase damping force to reduce front end shake at high speeds or during acceleration", using the vehicle speed and the acceleration as the control parameters of the damping characteristics.

Researchers Wrestle with When to Make...

From the Quagmire to Savior and...
Treatment of B-Cell Lymphomas with Monoclonal...
The term "micro total analysis system" (microTAS) was first introduced in 1990 when chip-level components were envisioned to carry out chemical analyses in miniaturized volumes (usually in the microliter–picoliter range) with high sensitivities and short reaction times (minutes versus hours or days). Since then the field of microfluidics has not stopped growing, with innovative components and platforms expanding into more applications in biology, medicine, pharmaceuticals, and food and environmental monitoring.
The field has benefited tremendously from the participation of researchers from a broad spectrum of disciplines including chemists, biologists, material scientists, physicists, and chemical, mechanical, electrical, and biomedical engineers. In addition, numerous large corporations have set up R&D divisions to explore commercialization opportunities in microfluidics.
Despite significant efforts, very few microTASs have been developed that are capable of performing entire processes from sample input to sample preparation to sample detection. Most of the components developed have been for a singular function (e.g., pumps, separation, detection).
In many practical applications such as drug discovery and genetic screening, a miniature total analysis system could be extremely beneficial in terms of consumable reduction and faster reaction times. The roadblock to the development of such microfluidic systems may be rooted in the decentralized, somewhat arbitrary genesis of this field.

Last night's game drive was a cracker, our first sighting was of a large African wild cat tom that was strangely active considering it was still daylight, and these shy, elusive cats are usually active after sunset so seeing him during the late afternoon was quite a treat! Off to a good start.
Little did we know there was more excitement to come, after stopping for drinks and a breathtaking sunset, we donned our warm jackets and set off into the cold African night, only to be rewarded with a sighting of a female leopard resting lazily on a branch of a Marula tree.
I didn't think we could better what we had seen so far but as we headed back to the lodge an aardvark (ant bear) crossed the road in front of us allowing us a great view of the entire animal, more often than not we only get glimpses of them as they disappear into long grass or thick bush.
And last but certainly not least we saw 3 porcupines foraging along the road just south of the lodge finishing off our game drive beautifully.

Hi Ryan,
Just curious how the large male leopard is doing who was injured when we were there just about 2 weeks ago. We spotted him around June 18 and he was limping pretty badly (one of his front paws was injured). I'm hoping he made a recovery!
I think they must have been waiting for us to leave! We heard them, saw their paw prints, but it was not to be! We left on 19th but were not in the least bit disappointed to have missed – the thrill was as much in the chase!. We loved our stay – amazing. Thank you to you all, what a fantastic vacation.

Hey everybody! We're introducing a new tradition where each week the Music Director (me) selects a new artist, album, and song that are bound to perk your ears up a bit. Each week I'll be posting something that may have gone under your radar a bit, but you'll really like. Some of these will be available in the rotation shelves (look for the silver stickers), but most of this is just to spread the music around! I hope you all will enjoy it!
This week's MD Picks are…
Artist: The Oh Hello's
Really great new artist from Texas. Their new album merges a lot of folky aspects with a new rock and alternative sound. This brother-and-sister combination has great vocal harmonies.
Similar to: Mumford & Sons, The Civil Wars
Album: The Tallest Man On Earth – There's No Leaving Now
I absolutely love The Tallest Man On Earth. For those of you who don't know him, he's this Bob Dylan-esque Swedish singer-songwriter with a very folky feel. This album, though maybe not as revolutionary as his Shallow Grave album, is incredible and definitely worth a listen.
Similar to: Bob Dylan, Joe Pug
Song: Michael Kiwanuka – "Home Again"
This British singer-songwriter merges soulful roots music with a great bluesy background. Michael Kiwanuka has the incredible ability to make you feel like you're in some raggedy pub somewhere, just watching him pour our his soul. This song is just so beautiful.
Enjoy! See you next week!
