He'd be perfect for an American Express commercial, except that he doesn't need the residuals.
"Do you know me?" the boyish man in a Savile Row suit might ask. "I sent the Contras $10 million." Pause. Click, click, click: "The Sultan of Brunei."
On second thought, a man who can write a personal check for $18 million probably doesn't care whether you know him or not. And that's what the sultan did just last March when he bought a Boeing 727 from arms dealer Adnan Khashoggi. With an individual net worth estimated at $30 billion, Sultan Muda Hassanal Bolkiah Mu'lzzaddin Waddaulah, 40, is reputedly the richest man in the world. Yet his was hardly a household name before congressional investigators discovered he'd sent $10 million to a Swiss bank account operated by Oliver North for the Nicaraguan contras. Unfortunately the donation, which had been requested by Assistant Secretary of State Elliott Abrams (perhaps at the suggestion of the Sultan's longtime associate Khashoggi), was mistakenly credited to the account of a grateful Swiss businessman, from whom it must now be reclaimed.
Not that the Sultan was worried. A loss like that would be a mere "drop in the bucket where Brunei is concerned," says Southeast Asia expert Donald Weatherbee, since Brunei's bucket is brimming with oil. A Delaware-size country on Borneo's northwest coast, Brunei's annual per capita income is about $20,000, and its citizens enjoy free medical care, free education through university (any university, anywhere in the world) and, in some cases, free housing, free cars and free passage to Mecca. "Bruneians are supported from cradle to grave," says one observer. "They're happy."
The life of this party is the sybaritic Sultan, known familiarly as "H.H."—for "His Highness." His gold-domed, 1,788-room palace is the largest private residence in the world. His stable of 200 polo ponies is rivaled by few, and his automobile collection, which includes a gold-upholstered Land Rover, sets the tone for a car-mad country with only 637 miles of road but 40,000 vehicles. Only in the matter of wives does the Sultan show much restraint. Allowed four by Koranic law, he has but two, with three sons and six daughters.
A dedicated Anglophile rumored to be the behind-the-scenes owner of London's Dorchester hotel and Harrod's department store, the Sultan spent a year at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst before ascending to the throne in 1967. He would have been happy to live out his reign as a subject of the British empire. For Britain, however, Brunei had become a colonial anachronism, and by 1983 the Brits had dragged their wards kicking and screaming into political independence. But British affiliates still pump Brunei's oil, and a battalion of Gurkhas—rented for $12 million a year—aids in its national defense.
When Brunei was admitted to the United Nations in 1984, the Sultan gave New York Mayor Edward Koch $500,000 to feed the elderly and infirm. In return, he received a solid-brass key to the city. "It's not gold," said the mayor. He knew, of course, that Brunei wouldn't need it.
His $10 Million Contra-Bution Got Lost, but to the Sultan of Brunei It Was (sigh) Only Money

May was filled with many outdoor surprises and experiences; how blessed I am.
I watched a doe kicking away 3 other deer from her fawn. No doubt they were her fawns of a year or so ago who have to be taught roughly that they are on their own now.
During the spring gobbler season just past, I watched for hours the tussle between a pack of crows and a few wild turkeys. The turkeys would tolerate the crows in the field until they crossed some invisible barrier that the turkeys considered too close.
Then the turkeys would charge the crows, the crows would take to the air, circle around cackling loudly and then land in the field again. If they got too close to the feeding turkeys, the chase was on again.
I took my blind out to some area State Game Lands and set it up on the edge of a small field, ringed by thick Russian Olive bushes. Not much was happening so as I often deliberately do, about 9 a.m. I leaned back and allowed my self to snooze. Shortly, however I woke with a start.
I heard heavy footsteps coming through the brush behind me and a strange snuffling, heavy-breathing sound. My instant thought was that it was a hunter coming through the brush behind me and that made me nervous. So I leaned out the side window of my blind to take a look and came face to face with a black bear!
He was sniffing and snuffing, trying to figure out what it was he scented. It was me, of course, but my scent was covered by the copious amounts of insect repellent I had put out.
When he saw me he swapped ends and beat it out of there. To me, the sight of a bear in the woods is always a thrill; having one within 5 yards is not so thrilling.
Black bears are more scared of humans than we are of them. They are elusive and seldom seen, that's why it is such a great thing to spot one in the wild. Nevertheless, whether it is a bear or a squirrel, I do not like to have any wild creature get too close to me in the woods.
Not because they are ferocious beasts that will attack because they are not. It's because they are very frightened of human beings and if they are startled by one at close range they often strike out in defense. I can imagine that the bear I startled had lots of stories to tell to his denmates about the awful human that almost got him.
Bears that people bait to their back yard are another story, however. These are the bears you might want to be leery of - the ones that humans think they have "tamed", that they try to feed marshmallows to by hand. This is a foolish practice in the extreme. Nothing good ever comes of wild animals being conditioned to tolerate people so they can get the food they want. They are opportunists, as are all wild animals. You put corn, apples, scraps, bird seed or whatever out behind the house and bears, squirrels, raccoons, and assorted other critters are going to come get it. They consider it theirs, however, and they can get testy if you try to get too close or remove the food or take photos or whatever.
Which brings us to bears that come to town. Why are black bears always spotted in the late spring/early summer strolling through towns? For the most part, it is because this is the beginning of the breeding season for bears. And this season starts in June.
When a sow bear has cubs, she does not come into estrus again for about two years. So at that second year, her first order of business is to chase away her now one-and-a-half year-old cubs. This alone is a harsh task; she chases and growls and lets them know they are no longer wanted.
The bears are confused at this turn of events. Female bears will just usually wander off and find a new home not too far away but the male bears tend to start wandering to find a new territory in which to live. Their searching often takes them right through the streets of a town or behind the out-buildings of a farm.
When such young bears are spotted, if they were just left alone they would keep going until they found a suitable piece of habitat.
But people seem to think that a bear comes into town because it is looking for someone to eat. Not so. They are looking for somewhere to call home. They may be distracted for awhile by a whiff of Fido's dish of food on a back porch or a bird feeder, but they are not on a mission to attack a human being.
A bewildered bear, looking for a new home and encountering a crowd of half-hysterical onlookers scoots up a tree, a trick his mama taught him, and it cowers there feeling trapped. Someone then calls the Game Commission, they come and administer a tranquilizer drug and transport him out to a new home far away and the officers wonder how long it will be before they have to rescue it in some other town.
Again, the warning comes to let wildlife alone. The fawn you think is abandoned is probably not alone. Do not "rescue" wild animals, it just means trouble and likely death to that animal.

According to the website "The Trial Diaries," Jen Wood, who attended the most recent Jodi Arias hearing, learned some interesting, though not entirely surprising news: Jodi Arias is prepping to represent herself at her upcoming sentencing trial.
Big shocker, I think not. Jodi Arias' ego demands that she do this. She is, after all, in her view, the smartest person in the room. Smarter than all of those people who studied the law and graduated law school and successfully practiced law for years. Smarter than Juan Martinez, her would-be opponent, who has practiced law for maybe longer than she has been alive.
This is not the first time Jodi chose self-representation. Early on, she fired her attorneys and felt that she, and she alone, could serve as her best legal representative. I would submit to you that individuals who choose to represent themselves in high-profile cases, especially when facing death, have a high degree of belief in themselves. Some might say arrogant, narcissistic or perhaps mentally ill.
The research about self-representation is relatively minimal. J. Decker (1996) argued that "Some defendants may proceed pro se to symbolize their lack of respect for any kind of authority, . . . or because they are unable to get their way and so represent themselves as an act of defiance" (p. 485).
Decker also believed that these defendants "may be cleverly manipulating the criminal justice system for their own secret agenda (p. 486–7).
Even if there is no hidden motive behind wanting to represent oneself in court, Decker thought that these individuals were "…so totally out of touch with reality that they believe they can do it all themselves" (p. 487).
Psychological reasons for self-representation were explored by Cabell (2012). A person might feel self-empowered representing themselves in front of the jury.
Control is another factor. If an individual is controlling their own defense, then they may be able to convey a more realistic picture of the issues than they believe their appointed counsel could convey.
Some defendants may feel as though they have something important to gain by personally arguing their defense. If they can control the communication with the jury, then they can fully explain themselves and ultimately sway the jury to side with them.
In Jodi's case, she may believe that given an opportunity to tell her version of events, she'll be able to sway the jury to forgo the death penalty. She's good at lying and has probably spent every moment spinning a new variation of her self-defense theory.
She may think that she is good with people but by all accounts, she rubs people the wrong way. She might also rub the jury the wrong way. It is a very big risk.
Thanks to CNN (who successfully argued for her retrial to be televised), we'll see Jodi's ego on full display (albeit not until after the verdict has been reached), should she decide to represent herself.
It will be a case to remember.

To determine if color flow duplex scanning (CFDS) can be used for rapid confirmation of presumed brain death.
Pilot cohort study comparison of CFDS with radionuclide cerebral scanning (RCS) as the criterion standard.
Community-based level I trauma center intensive care unit.
Twenty-four patients who satisfied criteria for presumed brain death.
Main Outcome Measure:
Confirmation of presumed brain death.
CFDS correctly identified 16 of 24 patients as brain dead, confirmed by RCS. Eight patients with brain flow on RCS were also correctly identified by CFDS. Only two of 24 patients survived their severe injuries.
CFDS provides a uniform, cost-effective diagnostic tool for rapid confirmation of clinical brain death with 100% accuracy. Its use should complement RCS, given its rapid interpretation, portability, and economical assessment of presumed brain death.(Arch Surg. 1995;130:517-520)

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Scientists from The Scripps Research Institute report finding a molecular mechanism that plays a role in controlling cancer growth in the brain. The study was published in this week's online early edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The paper is called "Activation of Tumor Cell Integrin avß3 Controls Angiogenesis And Metastatic Growth in the Brain."
For tumor cells that have invaded the brain, the team found that when activated, a tumor cell receptor known as integrin avß3 increased the supply of VEGF, thus helping tumor expansion within the brain tissue through enhanced angiogenesis. They believe that activated avß3 promotes rapid tumor growth by enabling tumor cells to attract new blood vessels continuously, even when oxygen is still abundant.
In contrast, the same receptor did not influence tumor growth at the primary cancer site, in this case, the breast. This receptor's varying effects on tumor cells depending on their location in the body reinforces a principle that this team uncovered a few years ago.
"For tumor cells, it's not just the presence of the receptor on the cells but the conformation or shape of the molecule that determines how well tumor cells can do within different tissues," explains Brunhilde Felding-Habermann, a research associate professor who led the study. "The shape of the molecule can increase or reduce the receptor's affinity for its natural ligands."
The scientists plan on following up on their new findings by testing if activated avß3 on tumor cells also supports brain metastasis of other types of cancer. They also intend on investigating if targeting the activated form of avß3 can inhibit metastatic brain disease.

April 17, 2011]------Before you finish cooking that sumptuous dinner, read this.
We consume an enormous amount of meat in the U.S. for we are a red bone kind of country. Hence the meat industry rakes in billions in sales every year. Most of us trust that the Food and Drug Administration is being the watchdog that they're supposed to be to ensure quality, safe products are sent to our local grocery stores.
Seems someone is dropping the ball. Have you ever heard of the term 'meat glue?' I know what you're thinking, I thought so too the first time I heard of it. Glue is what you use to help your child with his school project or to stick things around the house, right?
You would never expect to here 'glue' used in conjunction to food. But the meat industry reportedly uses 'glue,' (scientific name is transglutaminase) to stick meat together that would normally be thrown out, then put this meat out for consumers to buy, then eat.
Shocking, right? This 'glue' creates what's called fusion to bond the meat together so that it looks fresh and healthy, when it is actually only fit to to be thrown out. This glue is used to fuse fish, chicken, pork, beef and other meats. The dangerous thing is we are not told and we cannot tell the difference between 'glued meat' and healthy meats.
Take a look at the the meat industry's dangerous, dirty little secret in the above video--it may want to make you into a vegetarian from today!

In a translational medicine initiative, the National Institutes of Health has launched the NIH Centers for Accelerated Innovations (NCAIs), funded by its National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), to target technologies to improve the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of heart, lung, blood, sleep disorders, and diseases.
NHLBI issued grants totaling $31.5 million to establish three inaugural, multi-institution NCAIs: Boston Biomedical Innovation Center (Brigham and Women's Hospital, Boston Children's Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital, and Harvard College), Cleveland Clinic Innovation Accelerator (The Cleveland Clinic Lerner College of Medicine; Case Western Reserve University; Cincinnati Children's Hospital; The Ohio State University, Columbus; and University of Cincinnati), and UC BRAID Center for Accelerated Innovation (UC Los Angeles, UC Davis, UC Irvine, UC San Diego, and UC San Francisco). Additionally, each awardee has secured nonfederal funding equal to or greater than the NHLBI grant.
Each center is a consortium of academic, government, nonprofit, and private sector organizations that will provide funding for feasibility studies, regulatory, legal, business development, and entrepreneurial training and mentorship. According to NIH, NCAIs will navigate the translation of early stage biomedical innovations from the research laboratory to commercial development and deployment to patients.
NCAI awardees will leverage existing federal government resources, including those offered by NIH and by other federal program partners including the FDA, the United States Patent Office, and the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services.

What about farmers that are farming from the river bottoms?
Farmers who grow crops on land that is in the floodplain of a river or stream do so because it is most often very productive land. Typically all or part of these crop fields will flood once every 4-5 years and often the flooding occurs early enough in the spring that there is still time to plant a crop after the flood waters reside. The owners of these fields pay taxes on their property so they crop them or rent them out to be cropped in order to return a profit to the farm operation and /or help pay the mortgage and taxes on the land.
We are pleased to report that there is now a Federal conservation program available to compensate landowners who stop farming floodplain cropland through the purchase of a conservation easement on the land by the Federal government. The easement requires the landowner to discontinue crop production and restore the land to its natural state. There are specific eligibility requirements on frequency of flooding of the land that must be met to be eligible for this easement program. There has been a number of floodplain cropland fields enrolled in this program over the last few years. The money gained from the easement serves to offset the loss of crop sales that were unreliable on that land to begin with.
There are also USDA and State incentive programs available to encourage farmers to plant riparian tree buffers, filter strip, and to restore wetlands in these areas. These practices can reduce runoff, erosion and restore habitat in these areas and farmers are enrolling in these programs.
You can get more information on all of these programs by contacting your local USDA-Natural Resources Conservation Service Office.

Three armed, masked men terrorized and robbed an Asian-American business owner and his family in their Radnor Township home late Wednesday night in yet another home invasion targeting people of Asian descent.
This time, the business owner was a dentist, with offices in Philadelphia and Coatesville.
The Daily News last month wrote about this alarming trend in which armed thugs have followed Asian business owners to their homes in the belief that the victims stash cash at home.
In this case, Dr. Jim Cheng doesn't know if he was followed to his home on Brooklea Road in Rosemont. He said in his Olney office on Thursday that he had picked up his daughter, 20, a University of Pennsylvania student, Wednesday night in University City before returning home about 11:30 p.m.

Job Titles
Job titles are
. Our designated role in a software development effects the way we work. This is a start on a canonical list of Job titles, what they mean or should mean and which are equivalent.
Sorry but I want to interject a thought here Since I generally do *all* sorts of things as part of "getting the job done" and typically most (if not all) of my colleagues also do the same, I've always felt that the ideal title is something like "Member, Technical Staff".
This is the title given entry-level (degreed) engineers at my first employer, and they flat refused to hand the title of "Engineer" to anyone with less than 3 years' experience. Because everyone in the place was an "Engineer" of some degree (Senior, Staff, Senior Staff, etc.), this made the title seem like an insult. Among my "MTS" peers, most would have preferred even "Junior Engineer".
Nobody knows everything (even
s). In every project, it will quickly become apparent who the leader(s) are. In my experience, organizationally imposed worth tends to damp down the contributions of *organizationally less-valued* staff. I've been on both sides of this.
I used to be happy with Engineer; that title was reserved for people with 'higher' diplomas when I embarked on my career as a programmer, and when finally I was an "official" Engineer (says so right here on my business card) I could be a little less embarrassed with my lack of higher education. With time, I came to (mentally) adjust the title to
. Today I'm overjoyed to be "officially" a Software Architect, for slightly different reasons : I view it as the recognition that my job is not just to write code, but also (and officially) to care about
I write that code. A
whose opinion about methodology counts.
My current job has me (and all my peers) titled as a
. The theory is we're all professionals here and don't need to be ranked. My previous job tacked on "Associate" to the front of that title for folks who had less experience and "Senior" for folks who had more, creating the whole hierarchy thing that big companies like. I guess "Developer" sounds more more prestigious than "Programmer." And it's less contentious than "Engineer." But I suspect that, when it all boils down, it's really

Two related factors:
- Since most software building occurs inside commercial enterprises, the oddities of that milieu make a strong impression on our field. In the business world, compensation and respect and freedom all flow from title. That is not an absolute, just the typical situation. In any knowledge-work endeavor the person at the top of any selected hierarchy rarely produces as much positive influence on the outcome as those at the tips of the hierarchy, yet they nearly always garner the greatest rewards. This makes us all gravitate towards title when seeking those deeper desires.
- Being JustAProgrammer usually severely limits one's earning potential and influence. And there exists an absurd notion throughout the more dysfunctional regions of the the business world that says that a manager should make more than that manager's "direct reports." Star NBA players earn multiples of the salaries of NBA coaches and executives, yet the stars of the programming field routinely earn less than even the most mediocre DirectorOfThisOrThat
. Titles like

I imagine such role becoming more and more important in large projects. A while ago our design organization had a crisis situation where several design teams had opted to use the same technology, but where all unable to interoperate. CORBA implementations didn't talk to one another, C++ libraries that wouldn't link using other compilers, SNMP stacks that couldn't sit on the same machine. The situation didn't improve until someone was given overall control of technology use throughout the project.
I always thought "Guru" would be a good title for a senior, non-management tech person who has such extensive experience about a given technology, platform, OS, language, subject, etc., that it's not that much of an exaggeration to say that they know "everything there is to know" about it. The Guru is the person you go to for Answers. Examples: SQL Guru. C# Guru (probably no one qualifies for this yet). Design Patterns Guru. Etc. I've seen "irreverant" titles before (like Jeff Bezos') but this is one I'd almost be willing to put on my business card, if I qualified for it, since it actually communicates something about you rather than (or in addition to?) indicating that you're a smartass.
There's also the matter of official job titles and unofficial ones. Many offices have someone who isn't on the IT staff who is nevertheless "the guy you go to when you have a PC problem." Indeed, some projects have a
who is not the official
Rather than specific titles per person, being a SetWeenie
, below I will attempt to provide a list of typical IT functions. In most cases, especially in smaller companies, a given person will perform more than one of these, and often several.
Technology Expert - Knowledge about a specific tool or product. Example: DBA, Java API whiz, C++ language guru.
Domain Expert - Expert on the business logic and rules, and if part of IT, usually has the ability to translate them into detail sufficient to implement or hand off to an Implementor. Interacts with the customer to obtain requirements or understand a process better.
Implementor - Takes instructions given to them by the Domain Expert and turns them into programming code or hardware. May consult Techology Expert on the tricky parts.
Project Manager - Focuses on staffing, schedules, versions, and feature tracking of software projects.
Trouble-Shooter - Studies or dissects projects or products to find the cause of problems.
Help-Desk - Person who takes problem calls or messages from customers/users and verifies and/or documents the nature of the problem, and then routes it. Often works closely with Trouble-Shooter.
Tester - Checks the results of the Implementor. Reads description(s) given by Domain Expert to compare.
Decision Manager - A manager who "calls the shots" when there are conflicts of opinion, and makes all final large-scale judgements.
Process or Content Administrator - Somebody who moniters periodic processes, checks server status, changes configurations or meta-data as requested, etc.
Visual Desiger - Look-and-feel, GUI, and esthetic expert.
Could be subdivided in larger companies between visual designer and visual implementer.
To describe what a particular individual does, a percentage breakdown can be given. Example:
20% Trouble-Shooter
30% Domain Expert
40% Implementor
10% Technology Expert
A "web master" would look something like this:
30% Technology Expert (expert in HTTP, HTML, etc.)
30% Process or Content Administrator
20% Visual Designer
20% Domain Expert
Now I agree there is usually a lot of overlap and that percentages can be tricky. But one way to think of it is pretend you are in a very large company with a strong division of labor along the above lines, and at any given moment ask yourself who would be doing that particular job. Sample your time throughout the day and that would give you rough percentages.

text: Dirac emphasized in his book on Quantum Mechanics that a measurement will result in the wave function being in an eigenstate. On the other hand, some authors do not focus on this, which raises the question of whether it is a fundamental assumption of quantum mechanics, or perhaps just a heuristic device to enable people to think in terms of ideal states. In one sense, the proposition that the result of a measurement will be an eigenvalue of the measurement operator is indeed one of the fundamental postulates of formal quantum mechanics. See, for example, "Quantum Mechanics" 2nd ed, by Davies and Betts, which summarizes the postulates of formal quantum mechanics as four statements, the second of which is "Every observable can be represented by a Hermitian operator, the eigenvalues of which are the various possible values that would be obtained on measurement. Immediately after a measurement the state of the system is the corresponding eigenstate associated with that eigenvalue." Similarly, in his book "Quantum Mechanics", Rae presents five basic postulates, the second of which is virtually identical to the above: "Every dynamical variable may be represented by a Hermitian operator whose eigenvalues represent the possible results of carrying out a measurment of the value of the dynamical variable. Immediately after such a measurement, the wave function of the system will be identical with the eigenfunction corresponding to the eigenvalue obtained as a result of the measurement." And of course von Neumann stressed this view of things in his book "Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics", as at the beginning of Chapter 5 where he says "After the measurement, the state of affairs is...", and goes on to say the value measured is one of the eigenvalues of the operator, and the state of of the system is the corresponding eigenstate. Even in the less formal "The Quantum World" by Polkinghorne we find [p 27] that "The eigenvectors must obviously correspond to special states. They are taken to correspond to those states in which the observable definitely takes that particular value..." which, he says, occurs when a measurment takes place. However, even though this "standard formulation" of the postulates of QM is nearly universal in basic "no-nonsense" practical treatments of the subject, it is much less universal in works whose purpose is to consider the philosophical aspects of QM, and the measurement problem in particular. For example, in his book "Particles and Paradoxes", Peter Gibbins includes a whole chapter discussing various "Projection Postulates". The difficulty with the basic proposition as stated in the "standard formulation" is that it refers to "what happens" when a measurement is made, but we are given no clear idea of what constitutes a "measurement", i.e., how to know when we should stop propagating the wave function in accord with Schrodinger's equation and abruptly invoke the "2nd postulate". It seems to depend on where we draw the line between what is being measured and what is doing the measuring, but that seems to be a subjective line, and it's difficult to attribute to it several different objective significances simultaneously. Not surprisingly, there are even interpretations of QM that deny the occurrence of "measurements" altogether, but in the absence of a corresponding theory of consciousness it isn't clear how we are to understand the apparent definiteness of events, as well as the apparent "lawlike" behavior of events. (The latter is related to lack of a well-behaved probabilistic measure on the various "branches" of the no-collapse interpretation.) So, my answer to the question would be that "postulate 2" is generally understood to be part of the fundamental basis of quantum mechanics, and certainly is invoked whenever we actually apply QM in a practical situation, but I don't think we can automatically say that any paper or book on QM *must* list this as a basic postulate, especially if the work is trying to address the subtleties of the measurement problem. [By the way, the word 'eigen' was taken from the German word for "characteristic", and many English books have reverted back to the literal version. However, according to Eisberg and Resnick in their book "Quantum Physics", the use of the term eigen "is conventional... it is also conventional not to translate it into English, perhaps in honor of the dominant role played by German speaking physicists in the development of quantum mechanics." This may be true, although the term eigenvalue is probably just as prominent in pure mathematics.]

I have been using random numbers in other applications than Maple. Usually there is a function, which will give a pseudo random real number between 0 and 1. When I looked for it in Maple I got quite confused, because there are a lot of different options here - obviously because Maple can deliver random numbers/objects in many ways, even following a certain distrubution. I found out it doesn't work by just using rand(), since it is always starting with the same value. Then I found the command randomize() to fix this problem ...
I only need Maple to generate a series of real numbers between 0 and 1, one at a time. I have considered the following:
> restart;> randomize();> rand()/(1000000000000.);
But I found another way to do it, using a special package:
> restart;> with(RandomTools[MersenneTwister]);> randomize();> GenerateFloat();
My question: Which one is preferable? Are they calculated equally fast? I will be delighted for any comments, which can clarify the situation for me.
NB! I need the numbers to come from a uniform distribution in the interval [0,1).

SAN JOSE, Calif. – When Northern California liberals are said to be "up in arms," it usually means they're marching down San Francisco's Market Street or rallying at Berkeley's Sproul Plaza – not toting guns and actively defending their right to do so.
But Marlene Hoeber, president of the Northern California chapter of the Liberal Gun Club, wants the world to know that lefty politics and a love for guns and gun rights aren't mutually exclusive.
"If the conversation about gun policy in the United States is limited to what the National Rifle Association has to say, the conversation is over, because not enough people want to listen to that," said Hoeber, 43, of Oakland, Calif. "Hell, I'm a gun person, and I don't want to listen to that."
Founded six months ago while California was grappling with a heap of gun-control bills introduced after the 2012 school massacre in Newtown, Conn., the Northern California chapter has a few dozen members from San Luis Obispo up to the Oregon border.
They hold monthly meetings and sometimes go shooting together. The national club, formed in 2009, has about 1,000 members from coast to coast, but it is concentrated mostly in California and Texas. Many more take part in the club's online discussion forums.
Like any gun group, its members' reasons vary. Most, Hoeber said, are "gun geeks" who love the mechanical tinkering that goes with collecting, maintaining and sometimes customizing their guns. "Guns are fun to play with," she said.
Some are hunters, some target shooters, some more concerned with self-defense. But all seem to seek rational space between the competing rhetoric – from the NRA's "from my cold, dead hands" style to the "ban 'em all" mantra of some gun-control advocates. That, club members say, does little more than keep both sides in business.
Felix Hunziker, a Richmond, Calif., architect and registered Democrat, says he's "an independent-minded guy whose values range across the political spectrum" who was happy to join the club recently.
"All too often, the mere mention of firearms turns otherwise normal people into polarized zealots," said Hunziker, 48. "I've been a member of many gun organizations, and the Liberal Gun Club is the first one that seems to straddle the great divide. For me, that's like discovering my long-lost tribe."
Hoeber, who has described herself online as "a longtime queer, kink, trans, sex-positive, feminist, social justice activist and a devout pervert," said political engagement is one of the chapter's goals, though members aren't pressured to reach a consensus on everything.
"We are a really big tent," said chapter vice president Eric Wooten, 44, of Atascadero, Calif. A former lobbyist for left-leaning causes, Wooten said the club has everyone from libertarian-leaning Eisenhower Republican types to "full-on socialists who can quote Lenin and Marx."
What unites them is the idea that gun control too often is offered as a placebo for society's real problems. When a Democratic lawmaker calls for taxing ammunition or banning high-capacity magazines – which club members think will affect only law-abiding citizens and have no effect on violent crime – all Hoeber hears is, "I'm not going to do anything to actually get anyone in West Oakland a job."
"It's a big dodge," she said, "a way of not doing all the things that are supposed to be the liberal ways to solve these problems" – things such as more money for schools, "real socialized medicine" and urban policies focused less on attracting or retaining sports teams and more on creating jobs.
Dallas Stout, president of the California chapters of the Brady Campaign to End Gun Violence, said he's glad people are crossing partisan lines on gun issues because "any time people talk about these things, something good can come of it."
However, Stout said, "Clearly, we have a gun problem in this country and people are dying because of it." Gun restrictions "have halved the firearm death rate in California," he said, so when someone liberal or conservative claims such laws don't work "that's like bumper-sticker logic, more of the same old rhetoric that makes this debate so difficult to have."
Adam Winkler, a UCLA law professor and author of "Gunfight," a history of America's gun-rights battles, noted that gun control wasn't always a partisan divide. He cited Republican California Gov. Ronald Reagan's 1967 statement that "there's no reason why on the street today a citizen should be carrying loaded weapons."
But as poverty and gang violence led to more gun crimes in U.S. cities, Democrats representing such areas rallied around gun control, Winkler said. At the same time, the reborn conservatism of the 1970s and 1980s saw rural, white voters as key supporters.
"Appealing to their sense of outrage about gun control was a handy way for the Republican coalition to solidify its base," he said.
Traditional gun-rights groups don't know what to make of the Liberal Gun Club.
"The gun issue is not wholly and solely for conservatives – it is for anybody who believes in liberty and freedom, no matter what persuasion they are or perspective they have," said Sam Paredes, executive director of Gun Owners of California.
However, those beliefs must be uncompromising, he said. Some gun lovers would rather negotiate new gun-control measures, he explained. "We will be scrupulously observant to watch for any tendencies like that from this group or any other."
If the Liberal Gun Club is absolute in its Second Amendment beliefs, "we can fight shoulder to shoulder," Paredes said. Then, when gun rights are safely enshrined, "we can shake hands and then draw swords on other issues."
Hoeber, who cut her activist teeth in the AIDS and gay politics of the 1980s, recalls conservatives who staunchly opposed public health measures such as condom distribution, even as her community was dying around her.
"These are the same people who are the loudest pro-gun voices in American politics. If that was my understanding of who gun owners are, I'd probably want to take their guns away, too," she said. "Those fundamentalist, queer-baiting people who I see as monsters and may be coming for me someday. But they're the only people fighting for my right to have a gun on the day that they come for me."

Training Day becomes Coming of Age Day in LUV, a violent attempt at grafting two reliable genres together in one somewhat edgy picture.
Rapper-turned-actor Common has one of his best roles ever as Uncle Vincent, an ex-con still trying for that big score, that "legitimate" business that he'd love to start if only the bank would turn a blind eye to his past and gamble on his future.
"I'm gonna be my own boss," he brags to bank officials.
They aren't buying it.
So he lives with his mom (Lonette McKee), dresses like the businessman he isn't and drives a shiny Mercedes. On occasion, he pitches in with raising his sister's son, Woody (Michael Rainey Jr.), who idolizes him.
Dropping the 11-year-old off at school, Vincent sees how shy Woody is around girls, and decides that even at 11, the boy needs a different sort of schooling, a day of "what it takes to be a man."
He drags the kid around so Woody can Be Like Vincent, from a ridiculously quick trip to the tailor to the increasingly violent deals he makes to get by.
Woody experiences his first crab-cracking (the story is set in Baltimore), has his first drink and sees his first dead body. All that's for starters.
The cast is quite good, and director and co-writer Sheldon Candis does so well with those scenes, dominating LUV's first half, that it's surprising he has so much trouble introducing, bit by bit, Vincent's violent world to Woody. This is an R-rated drama without the weight to support that rating, more a PG-13 coming-of-age tale that needed to be watered down.
The absurd turns the story takes to serve up streetwise and bloody "life lessons" for the kid will make any parent blanch — "child endangerment" is in the MPAA rating. And those same over-the-top twists will make any movie lover roll his or her eyes.
(D) Directed by Sheldon Candis. R (violence, language, child endangerment and some drug content). 94 mins. At three AMC theaters: NorthPark 15, Parks Arlington 18 and Mesquite 30.

93+ Points | Stephen Tanzer's IWC - November/December 2009
($88) Impressively deep red. Knockout nose combines currant, black cherry, marzipan, menthol, tar, graphite and licorice. The palate offers an uncanny combination of sweetness and penetrating power, with brisk acidity framing and lifting the fine-grained flavors of black fruits, menthol and spices. The very long, slowly mounting finish conveys an impression of energy and great finesse, not to mention the structure for a graceful evolution in bottle. Lay this one down.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) - Cincinnati is the top seed, Southern Miss has the best overall record and Charlotte has won six of its last seven heading into this week's Conference USA tournament.
Those are the real favorites, but there's also a sentimental one.
Emotionally charged Louisville (12-18, 8-8) upset Memphis 65-56 in its regular-season finale, the day after Hall of Fame coach Denny Crum announced his retirement after 30 seasons. Crum expects the team to muster the same level of intensity for its tournament opener against eighth-seeded UAB on Wednesday.
"There's a little bit of emotion involved with this group now," Crum said. "It's got to add something to it. I don't know how you measure it."
The Blazers (16-13, 8-8) handily beat the Cardinals 74-57 in Freedom Hall on Feb. 27, but Crum said Monday he can't wait for the rematch.
"I'm fired up and ready to go," he said. "I've got all that other stuff behind me, and I'm trying to get them ready to go and play their best, and that's all that matters to me."
The Louisville-UAB winner plays Cincinnati (21-8, 11-5), which has won seven of its last eight games and earned the tournament's top seed for the sixth straight season.
"We're playing with a lot of confidence and we've just gotten so much better," Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins said.
Junior guard Steve Logan has been one of the hottest players in the country over the last 15 games, averaging 22 points.
"It was just a matter of him dedicating himself to being a great player," Huggins said of Logan's late surge. "He's really put in a lot of extra time."
Southern Miss (21-7, 11-5) tied Cincinnati for the regular-season league title, but the Bearcats earned the top seed because of a 64-52 win over the Golden Eagles on Feb. 10.
Southern Miss awaits the winner of the Saint Louis-Houston game. The seventh-seeded Billikens (16-13, 8-8) won the tournament last year and are the only conference team that's never lost a first-round game. The 10th-seeded Cougars (9-19, 6-10) have won four of their last five, including a 71-51 win over Saint Louis on Feb. 19.
"Our guys certainly understand Houston is not a team to be taken lightly," said Saint Louis coach Lorenzo Romar. "They're playing together and are a lot better. They've got a really good team right now."
Third-seeded Charlotte (18-10, 10-6) went 8-2 down the stretch, led by freshman Rodney White, who led the league in the regular season with 19.6 points per game. The 49ers play the winner of Wednesday's tournament opener between 11th-seeded DePaul (12-17, 4-12) and sixth-seeded South Florida (17-12, 9-7).
"The middle part of the schedule we didn't play as well as we would've liked, but we've played very well in our last 10 games," Charlotte coach Bobby Lutz said.
The 49ers have reached the tournament semifinals four straight years and the championship game in three of the last four.
"Our guys that have been here through some of that can share the approach you have to take in tournament play - playing with tremendous passion but not getting overly caught up in it," Lutz said. "Hopefully, some of that can rub off on our younger guys."
Fourth-seeded Memphis (16-13, 10-6) also received a first-round bye, despite losing four of its last six. The Tigers will play the winner of Wednesday's game between 12th-seeded Tulane (9-20, 2-14) and fifth-seeded Marquette (14-13, 9-7). The Golden Eagles' Brian Wardle is the league's second all-time leading scorer, but he needs 110 points to catch Charlotte's DeMarco Johnson for the top spot.
No Conference USA team made the final regular-season Associated Press Top 25, and the league was ranked only the 10th toughest in the country. The conference's down year could leave only the tournament champion with a bid to the NCAA tournament.
"If you go by the RPI (Ratings Percentage Index), the league has been down this year," Lutz said. "But I think our league is much better now and if we had the chance to play some teams from leagues that are rated higher, I think we would more than stand up to them.
"Whoever gets in from our league - and I hope it's multiple teams - I think our teams will do fine."

The Surface World is Wasted
With each rising moon comes the surface-blasting meteors of the lunar
rain, destroying everything living below. All the major cities of DragonMech
are reduced to rubble -- except for one. The free city of Edge, carved

protective wall of its cliff face.
One City Still Stands
Built into a natural cavern above a towering waterfall, Edge is the
world's busiest trade port. An ancient river flowing from the heart of
the underdeep divides the cavern in two. Each bank is a city unto itself
-- as is the nearby cliff-dweller settlement. No government has ever united
these disparate populations. Will the rising mechdoms claim this merchant
jewel? Or will Edge remain a rough-and-tumble frontier town like it's always

Man facing charges for allegedly biting girlfriend after she tries to escape full body press
A man was arrested after pinning down his girlfriend with a full body press and then biting her, officials said.
Aaron M. Krause chomped on Jennifer Dyson's right hand in their home at 3811 Teak Drive, Lehigh Twp., Northampton Co., at 12:20 a.m. Friday as she was trying to escape from Krause, who had laid on top of her and would not allow her to get up, officials said.
Dyson told police she and Krause were lying in bed and that he had been drinking when he began to yell, officials said.
After the altercation, Krause got up and threw their 14-month-old child's toys around the living room, damaging a wall, officials said.
Krause, 30, was arraigned on assault and harassment charges and committed to the Northampton County Prison on $7,500 bail, according to court documents.
A preliminary hearing is set for 11 a.m. Nov. 5.

Epic: 99 cents games are killing the industry
Epic president Mike Capps has raised serious criticism of the culture of 99 cents games for sale on mobile platforms like the iPhone.
Capps explained that the 99 cents apps were making it harder for developers to convince consumers to stump up 60 USD for a triple-A title when they can pick up 60 iPhone games for the same price.
He explained that they are essentially devaluing the games industry by flooding the market with what Nintendo president Satoru Iwata called in his keynote to the GDC at the beginning of the year cheap and sometimes valueless titles.
Capps said: "If there's anything that's killing [the retail games business] it's dollar apps. How do you sell someone a 60 USD game that's really worth it? People are used to paying 99 cents."
Thanks IndustryGamers.

WWE fans love to dream.
They dream about how storylines will play out. They dream about another company one day rivaling the WWE. They dream about one day stepping into the ring themselves.
Perhaps most notably, though, they dream about feuds that may or may not ever actually happen.
These "dream feuds" as they're called have been a highly debated topic on Internet message boards and websites since before sites like this one even existed.
Fans all over the world have always and will always find time to talk about which two opponents they want to see face each other on the grand stage of the WWE, even though there's a good chance that many of these feuds may never actually happen.
But hey, that's why they call it dreaming, right?
While we've seen two dream matches in just the last couple of years (The Rock vs. John Cena and The Rock vs. CM Punk), there are still countless others that wrestling fans are dying to see.
What are they? Well, let's take a look at some of the biggest ones.

Happy Day: Bryce Dallas Howard Is PregnantMonica Bielanko
Another movie star joins the ranks of celebrities currently expecting babies.
Us Weekly broke the news that Bryce Dallas Howard and actor husband Seth Gabel are expecting baby number two.
Let's hope this time around is much better experience for the mama who admitted to suffering a severe case of postpartum depression after the birth of her son, Theo, in 2007.
In a brutally honest essay for Gwyneth Paltrow's Goop blog last year, Howard, who is the daughter of child actor and director Ron Howard, detailed her struggle.
Howard found at she was pregnant just five days after her wedding in 2006, when she was only 25, and gained more than 80 pounds during her pregnancy. After giving birth she says she called her son "it" even though he was named Theo, convinced herself she was a terrible actress and mother and struggled to breastfeed:
Before Theo was born, I had been in good humor about my 80-pound weight gain, but I was now mortified by it. I felt I was failing at breast-feeding. My house was a mess. I believed I was a terrible dog owner. I was certain I was an awful actress; I dreaded a film I was scheduled to shoot only a few weeks after the birth because I could barely focus enough to read the script. And worst of all, I definitely felt I was a rotten mother–not a bad one, a rotten one. Because the truth was, every time I looked at my son, I wanted to disappear.
Ultimately Howard credits a therapist, fellow moms, and Brooke Shields book, Down Came The Rain, on postpartum depression (which she calls a "revelation") for her recovery.
Did you suffer from postpartum depression and did it affect your decision – or make you nervous – to have a second child?

The two New Jersey men arrested and charged with terrorism last weekend made their first court appearance Monday in another disturbing case of home-grown terror.
A New York Police Department undercover unit played a key role in nabbing the two American citizens who are said to be students of al Qaeda.
Undercover Sting
Twenty-four-year-old Carlos Eduardo Almonte and 20-year-old Mohamed Mahmood Alessa appeared in federal court on Monday, charged with conspiracy to kill Americans overseas.
"They had finally purchased plane tickets and were on their way out of the country," U.S. Attorney Paul Fishman said.
Federal agents arrested the men at John F. Kennedy Airport before they boarded their flights to Egypt Saturday night.
Investigators say the terror suspects were heading to Somalia, where they hoped to join the al Qaeda-tied al Shabab terror group.
"Thank goodness this time we were ahead of the game," New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said.
The suspects' families are said to have tipped off the FBI. And an undercover New York police officer secretly recorded hours of conversations with the two suspects.
"The complaint alleges pretty carefully and pretty clearly that their intentions were described quite clearly to the undercover agent," Fishman said.
Prosecutors say their intent was to kill, maim or kidnap people outside the United States.
"Once again, there was a link to Anwar al Alaki, that al Qaeda cleric who has been linked to so many major terrorist plot over the last six months, including Fort Hood, the Christmas Day bomber, Times Square. Apparently, these two Jihadists were inspired by recordings by none other than Anwar Al Alaki," said CBN News Terrorism Analyst Erick Stakelbeck, who is following the case.
Both men were actually on the government's no-fly list. But federal agents removed the suspects' names so they could make their plane reservations. The move was a part of an elaborate sting to take the two suspected terrorists into custody.

One of the problem of having a blog with a Google PageRank higher than 3 is that you get flooded by a storm of spam. Be it comment spam or trackback spam it's a waste of server resources and, if not filtered, could fill your blog with tons of sex related links and more. Last year Subtext included a integration with Akismet, the de-facto only spam blocking service available for free on the net. But last autumn I received more than 1000 spam trackback in one day and more than 30.000 on the same day in my Italian blog...
Today I was hit by a massive spam attack, both here and on my Italian blog: here I received almost 1000 spam trackback in one day, and on my Italian one I reached the incredible number of 30.000, and almost all passed as approved.
I guess Akismet is having some problems these days.
Technorati tags: Subtext, Akismet
I started this blog back in last December, so I didn't bother about the spam problem at the beginning. But last month I started getting a lot of trackback spam, some days even 30-40 per day: I guess this is the new way of blog spam since comments are being filtered by all the CAPTCHA controls or other dictionary based comment filters. I decided to give Akismet a try: and in the first week after I enabled Akismet I have no more spam on my blog. All the trackbacks are being checked against the Akismet web service and eventually...

Raton police said more victims are coming forward after a tire-slashing spree.
At least 32 vehicles have been vandalized since Friday night. Investigators said some vehicles had one tire slashed but others lost all four.
The police chief is advising residents to make a copy of the repair bills and take them to the police station so officers can tie all the reports together into a single investigation.

Company > Santa Barbara Airbus - Bus Companies - History
Santa Barbara Airbus started as an airport operation to and from LAX. This service was provided in 10-passenger vans and originated out of a spare bedroom in a condominium in Goleta. From that humble beginning and incredible customer acceptance and support, SBA began its journey to where we are today.
Our fleet of late model coaches now operates 14 trips daily to and from LAX, 363 days per year. Starting June 1 2010, we will increase service to 18 trips daily to and from LAX with daily connections to Long Beach and San Pedro Harbors.
We are also experts in charter transportation. We can accommodate virtually any size group with our extensive fleet of vehicles. We provide safe, courteous, and professional service to any function. Besides evolving into a true transportation company, SBA has learned the necessity and benefit of community involvement. This involvement has taken on many forms, such as time, money and services for a wide variety of causes.
The commitment to our customers and our community has made Santa Barbara Airbus a recognized and appreciated business.
