Ranking the most popular Christmas tales
For her doctoral dissertation in English, Northern Illinois University student Emily Kingery examined more than 100 anthologies from the beginning of the 19th century to the present to determine which stories were most popular.
Not surprisingly, Clement C. Moore's poem "A Visit From St. Nicholas" (31 appearances) and Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" (28) topped the list. But other popular choices might be less familiar to today's casual reading audience: Hans Christian Andersen's "The Fir-Tree" (24) finished third, William Dean Howells' "Christmas Every Day" (11) came in 10th, with Bret Harte's "How Santa Claus Came to Simpson's Bar" (10) right behind it.

Previewing new books in 2013, via The Millions
Once again, The Millions, an online literary magazine, has brightened up early January with a giant preview of books due to be published this year. Millions contributors are offering thumbnail previews of 79 books due out this year.
Caveat lector: Despite The Millions' cheeky claim that this lovely list "is the only 2013 book preview you will ever need," it consists mostly of quality literary fiction, with only a few nonfiction and genre writing titles included. So, for example, you won't see anything about new books this year from Ian Tregillia, Charlaine Harris and Elizabeth Bear. »Read Full Blog Post(5)

Where can you get moo shu beef with a side of fries or have a fortune cookie after your double cheeseburger? At none other than Shanghai Boy, the only fast food restaurant in Lee's Summit to serve both Chinese and American cuisine.
Housed in the old Burger Boy on Third Street, just a few miles east of the Longview campus, Shanghai Boy provides just the right mix of east and west. The menu is obviously quite diverse, with beef, chicken, pork, shrimp and tofu Chinese dishes, soups, a long list of appetizers and several American-style sandwiches for the less adventurous. Prices are extremely affordable and quite friendly to the college student's pocketbook.
Upon entering, I was helped right away, and service was exceptional as long as you don't mind ordering and receiving your food at a counter. Being a coward when it comes to Chinese food and especially eating at new Chinese restaurants, I went with my old standby, sesame chicken, thinking, "No one can mess up sesame chicken." Thankfully, I was right, and quite pleasantly surprised. The food was just as good as, if not better than, any other Chinese restaurant in the area.
While I'm no expert on local Chinese eateries, those who know me well will testify that getting me to enjoy any type of foreign food is no small feat. The meal left me with such a good feeling that I had some ice cream afterwards, which was also quite tasty. My only complaints about Shanghai Boy would be that the portions are a bit small and the dining room isn't up to par with other Chinese restaurants in town. The food is served ready to take out, so the dining room isn't really much of an issue.
I can honestly say that Shanghai Boy isn't the best place to get a burger in town, and probably won't be the best Chinese you've ever had, but it is the best Chinese and American fast food joint in town.

The 19th century was the "Age of Steam". Munktells, with its pioneering spirit, made considerable contributions to this industrial development era and became a leading manufacturer of steam engines and machinery.
The first traction engine was presented as early as 1854. More than 6 500 traction engines were delivered up till 1921 when manufacture of this product was discontinued.
The steam engine eventually became outdated as combustion engines were developed and disappeared around World War I.
Today, the only steam engines to be found are the ones in toyshops. And in the Munktell Museum, of course.

Broncos v/ Cardinals: The Most Misleading Game of the Year
So, a guy named Brandstater outplayed a couple guys named Kurt Warner and Matt Leinart tonight. Which, given that it's the fourth pre-season game of what will probably be remembered as the Broncos' Great Lost Season, probably means not too much at all. Still, a 19-0 win keeps the Broncos from having a completely winless pre-season. In years like these, you take what you can get.
The Broncos looked pretty good in the first half (especially the first quarter), but the second half, filled mostly with the extra-scrubbed scrubs, was slow and filled with mistakes. Not that there was a tremendous amount of name recognition in the first half (Champ Bailey played a grand total of four plays, for example), but we saw a few players who will likely make the final roster, and Brandstater certainly solidified his position as back-up to the back-up. For that matter, another guy named Walker made a reasonable case for being the Broncos' fifth running back, and Prater reminded the faithful of why we spent half a season thinking that letting Jason Elam escape the team wasn't a mistake.
Who knows if Prater will manage to keep us in that blissful state through an entire season this time.
Other good--if a little bit illusory--news: the defense looked good in chasing Card's scrubs around the field for that first half. With a four man rush, they managed to get pressure on almost every play.
But when so many of the players in the game won't ever see another game as Broncos (and many will never see another pro game again), it doesn't tell us much about how the team will perform in the regular season. It's one giant head fake.
You can almost count on someone trying to start a quarterback controversy, though. Someone will try to sell the idea that Brandstater should be the starting quarterback, especially given his longer throws. One of the big knocks on Orton in the pre-season is that every throw has been short- or medium-range. It's a fair hit, and Brandstater certainly showed a little arm tonight, but Brandstater also made some big rookie mistakes in reads and decisions. He very well may be a starter in the league some day, but throwing him in right now wouldn't be doing him, Orton, or Broncos fans much of a favor.
The real season starts soon, Broncos fans. I hope that this doesn't turn out to be the high point of the year.

JRC Publishes Indicators, Country Data on Impact of Production and Consumption on Resources
22 January 2013: The Joint Research Initiative (JRC) of the European Commission (EC) has published a series of indicators on the impact of production, consumption and trade on the use of resources and pollution, as well as a set of country fact sheets applying these indicators in EU and other countries.
The publications aim to provide a comprehensive dataset of comparable economic and environmental information to improve understanding of how the use of global resources and the emission of air pollutants around the world have evolved in relation to economic activities.
The first volume presents a series of indicators on six environmental dimensions: land use; material extraction; water use; emission of acid substances; greenhouse gases (GHG); and ozone precursors. For each dimension, the indicators cover the use of resources and emissions related the production and goods and services, their trade and their consumption.
The second volume provides data for these indicators for the 27 EU member States as well as Brazil, China, India, Japan, the Russian Federation, the US, and the rest of the world. Together these publications provide a holistic methodology and data on significant environmental and social impacts of economic activity, including resource scarcity, climate change, environmental degradation, and inequalities regarding access to natural resources across countries.

Prevalence Is Acid
Prevayler claims to support ACID (
) transactions.
Specifically, see this post by
, founder of Prevayler:
"Prevayler provides your transactions with Atomicity and Durability. That is pretty evident to most people."
"Prevayler also provides Isolation through strict sequencing of all your transactions and, optionally, of all your queries. [...]"
"Prevayler does not provide your transactions with Consistency nor does any database server. It is always up to the application to make its transactions Consistent, even with database servers."
From the
Atomic = all changes are made (commit), or none (rollback).
Consistent = system enforces declared integrity constraints
Isolated = independent of concurrent transactions.
Durable = committed changes make permanent changes to the data.
Prevayler claims ACID (
), and no need for transactions, rollback, etc. The entire rest of the database world universally disagrees with this ACID claim and thinks they don't use the same terminology as everyone, and possibly don't understand the rest of the world's terminology. But they
fast. --
What an honour. I finally meet the spokesperson of the entire database world. Prevayler does have transactions (which I believe to be necessary) and rollback (which I believe to be unnecessary but useful in some situations). --
Transactions without rollback sounds like a contradiction in terms. The point of transactions isn't just that a transaction operates on a consistent view of the data - it's that if something goes wrong in mid-transaction, it can be rolled back and have no effect on the data.
There are mechanisms for 'having no effect on the data' that don't involve rollback, such as keeping a 'consistent view' of the data per transaction (used, for example, by
s implementation of
). Such systems abort and fail without ever overwriting the primary copy of the data, thus nothing ever needs to be rolled back in the event of failure - at worst, they need to roll forward, in the event of a communications failure during a commit (ThreePhaseCommit
The building blocks of prevalence - mutual exclusion, checkpoints and write-ahead logging - are a sufficient foundation to provide
execution. You can implement rollback by performing recovery: restore your last checkpoint and then roll forward through the write-ahead log. HSQLDB appears to me to be a database that uses prevalence as an implementation technique; its data file is simply a SQL script consisting of a checkpoint (a bunch of CREATE TABLE/INSERT) and write-ahead log (any additional DML since the last checkpoint is appended to the file, except for pure SELECTs). --
Prevayler has "roll forward." ...similar, in a sense, to the recovery from transaction log work conventional relational databases do when they restart.
Should Prevayler crash, on restart it will restore memory from the "last full backup" (IE: the last time everything was serialized from memory to a file, and then rerun all the transactions that happened since then. This will bring it "up to date."
From the
Atomic = all changes are made (commit), or none (rollback).
Consistent = system enforces declared integrity constraints
Isolated = independent of concurrent transactions.
Durable = committed changes make permanent changes to the data.
Prevayler transactions are Atomic, but only if they don't throw exceptions. As I understand it, the current release runs (by default) with two copies of your data in memory; it "pre-runs" your transactions on the first copy, to verify that they don't throw exceptions, and then it runs them on the second, the "gold copy." Presumably, the "pre-run" copy can be copied again from the "gold copy" quickly, should a transaction fail.
Prevayler transactions are Consistent, to the extent that your implementation language and application code enforce your declared data integrity constraints. The Java and C# compilers and runtime environments enforce that you can't set a pointer to an object of the wrong type, enforcing the
constraint (
). In
programs, field constraints can be enforced with consistent use of "setter" methods. Relational database implementations typically provide a more extensive set of declarative integrity constraints, but still not everything needed to enforce all reasonably definable business rules.
Prevayler transactions are Isolated - from other transactions running concurrently - because Prevayler doesn't do that. Prevayler runs transactions sequentially, one at a time. So it doesn't have locking, contention, and interaction problems between transactions. Thus Prevalyer implements only the strongest form of transaction isolation defined in the ANSI/ISO SQL standard: SERIALIZABLE. However, achieving serializability by actually serializing all transactions limits Prevayler to the speed of a single CPU core.
Prevayler transactions are Durable because the system starts at a known state, stored on disk, and writes every transaction to disk before executing it. Because transaction code must (by definition in a Prevayler system) be deterministic, Prevayler can always restore system state from disk by rerunning the logged transactions.
Do you mean the transactions are ACID for the object memory store? Or ACID for streaming to the journal? The first one is what one would be looking for especially for Atomicity and Isolation.
Without the logs / transaction journals, the ObjectPrevalence
approach can't be Durable. For transactions to be Durable, you need some recovery mechanism that will survive power outages, program crashes, etc.
Prevayler logs all transactions to disk before running them. In the event of system failure, it can rerun the transactions. This is how it achieves Durablity.
When I rollback a transaction will it rollback all the objects in the memory store and are the updates to the object memory store in one transaction isolated from the update in another transaction. For example, in my transaction I don't want to see the updates created by another transaction until they are committed or rolledback. Right?
Heh. You probably don't
want to see the updates created by another transaction after they've been rolled back. As far as seeing updates from other transactions prior to them being committed? Prevalence makes it a non-issue: it prevents concurrent transactions by the simple mechanism of serializing them. Thus, you'll never see the updates from another transaction until after that transaction has fully committed - your transaction won't even start before the other transaction has fully committed.
In the more general sense of ACID semantics with concurrency, it is actually okay for you to see state updates from other transactions before those other transactions fully commit... so long as they DO, eventually, fully commit. In optimistic systems that support concurrent transactions, that is often exactly what happens. However, it does mean that your final 'commit' waits for the other transaction to commit AND that your transaction fails if the other transaction either fails or updates the same cell again to a different value (updating the same cell twice in one transaction) or reads/updates another cell your transaction read before it was updated... but, even with those complications, it can work surprisingly well in practice when it comes to improving concurrency - especially for short or 'small' transactions. Due to use of fewer or even no cross-cell locks, and eliminated risk of deadlock, optimistic transactions are about the only very practical approach for distributed cells (e.g. distributed databases, distributed cache management, etc.). Even for the worst cases, where one transaction is spending a lot of time updating the same cell repeatedly then failing, it is possible (with a flexible transaction manager) for your policies to become 'somewhat less' optimistic (e.g. forcing a priority ordering of transactions) after a transaction you were counting on succeeding has already failed and restarted once.
Prevayler avoids concurrency problems by avoiding concurrency: Only one transaction runs at a time. This is less of a problem than you might think, because all data is in memory. This avoids I/O latency problems, eliminating the need to run transactions concurrently.
Page faults stall everything in the Prevayler server. This can be a serious problem if you don't have sufficient RAM.
Rollbacks are expensive. You should code your transactions, to the best of your ability, to not need them. Do this by validating the data before changing anything.
Certainly assertions to the extent to which Prevayler and most
implementations enforce the "Consistent" attribute of ACID (
) transactions is bound to be controversial.
Let's consider
's statement,
"Prevayler does not provide your transactions with Consistency nor does any database server. It is always up to the application to make its transactions Consistent, even with database servers."
See also
- Wikipedia's definition of Consistency in ACID.
Constraints that may be enforced or easy to implement in a Prevayler environment:
The equivalent of
constraints are enforced in modern languages with a combination of strong type checking and automatic memory management.
Strong type checking prevents programmers from making a "foreign key"-like reference to an object of an incompatible type. In some languages, like Java and safe C#, the language strongly enforces these constraints. In some languages, like C, C++, and type unsafe C# code, the language generally prevents accidental references to incorrect types, but gives the programmer the option to override this protection. Weakly typed languages allow references to incompatible types, but report the errors in a systematic way at runtime, when unsupported operations are attempted.
When automated memory management (IE:
) is used, and manual memory management (IE: free & dispose calls) is not used, then invalid references to released (IE: deleted) objects will not occur. This would be the equivalent of "delete" referential integrity; preventing the deletion of objects/records referenced by active objects/records.
In an
program, there can be issues of references to objects that have not been fully initialized. This can be addressed by programming conventions, such as relying more heavily on constructors than on setter initialization.
In an
program, there can be issues of references to objects who's resources have been released. This generally won't be an issue in the Prevayler environment, because objects holding external system state aren't business objects. Such objects shouldn't be allowed in the Prevayler managed system state.
The equivalent of EntityIntegrity
is accomplished by using different operational definitions: Programs don't generally need to rely on unique field values to identify unique object instances within each set of all existing instances of that type, because running programs typically hold direct references to the address of each instance in memory. In fact, only a few programming languages, like Smalltalk, offer the programmer the ability to find all active instances of a given type. In object-oriented programs, object identity is defined by the instance's address. No rules about field values are needed.
There are cases where we want different object instances to be treated as the same, such as multiple instances of the string "Jeff Grigg". We have widely adopted conventions for dealing with that issue, such as use of the "equals" method. Some languages have special syntax or methods to make reference to unique string instances too.
Domain Constraints prevent the entry of invalid values in columns or fields. Both databases and strongly typed programming languages have this feature. And if you wish to restrict the set of valid values further, the equivalent of database column constraints can be accomplished with checks in setter methods. Use of
, in a strictly typed language, can strongly enforce use of only a limited set of values. Some languages, like the
, even allow direct specification of limited numeric ranges as data types.
Constraints that are not implemented by most
In practice, taking full advantage of all the constraint declarations possible in the latest ANSI/ISO SQL standards and the latest vendor products has proven beyond the knowledge and ability of most software development organizations.
It's common to find database schemas defining all non-primary-key columns as nullable, even when null values in many those columns would cause their systems to fail.
It's common to find database schemas lacking most obvious referential integrity constraints.
It's quite uncommon to find database schemas leveraging the latest ANSI/ISO 92 standard deferred constraints and assertion constraints - both of which are needed to address the most common failings of traditional SQL constraints, such as requiring that parent tables have children, or that the sum of all
entries add up to zero.
Certainly, Prevayler (and its host language) enforcement of independently defined Constraints is weaker than in the relational model. It's present, but weaker. And
support for Constraint enforcment has gotten stronger, particularly with the ANSI/ISO SQL 92 standard. So while it's reasonable to say that
, I think that
's comment about
s failing to enforce consistency constraints contains some truth, but is a little over the top. --

GOLDEN — Andre Lane scored a game-high 15 points, but Evergreen, which fell behind by 20 entering the fourth quarter, couldn't rally in dropping a 53-41 contest at Golden on Jan. 21.
The Cougars (6-9, 2-4 4A District 6) trailed 29-11 at halftime after Golden outscored its visitors 15-3 in the second quarter.
The deficit grew to 41-21 after three quarters, but not even a 20-12 run in the fourth quarter could keep Evergreen from losing for the third time in four games.
February looms ahead, the last really winter month with little to offer except more sunshine and Valentine's Day. This is not to say that March will be spring for it is the month when we receive our greatest snowfall. Its only redeeming grace is that it has nice spring-like days between snow storms, robins begin to sing their evening song, the days are longer and there is a definite feeling that spring is coming, even though we may be clobbered with two feet of snow the next day.
Light snows and bitter cold weather have been the trend in January. It is the kind of weather that makes me want to curl up by the fireplace and read. Since this is the kind of weather we have had for over a month, I should be caught up with my reading, but I'm not.
There are just so many good new books out that I can't find enough time. However, there are a few books I've read or have read about lately that I fell many readers of this column may find interesting.
IDAHO SPRINGS — Like many native Coloradans, I went through the right of passage and learned to ski at an early age. But then I switched to the dark-side — I became a snowboarder.
In all my years snowboarding I had always wanted to try the half-pipe and terrain park, but was to nervous that I would wipe out and get seriously hurt or ridiculed beyond belief, or worse — both.
Garrett Smith remembers Dec. 20 clearly. The Evergreen High tennis player and former lacrosse player was at a party, attended by other players. It was there that Smith found out about the passing of 36-year-old boys lacrosse coach Toby Plank, who lost his battle with carcenoid cancer.
"Everyone was bummed. We all just went home. A couple of people were crying," Smith said. "We thought we could get through it. We thought maybe he could get through it, too. But it took a turn for the worst."
Toby Plank, who came to Evergreen as an assistant coach for the varsity boys lacrosse team and later coached four seasons as the head coach of the varsity team, has been named the recipient of the 2010 Gerald J. Carroll Award, presented by US Lacrosse.
The award was created in memory of Coach Carroll in 1994. It honors annually a high school coach "whose success is best measured not in victories but in the support and guidance given to the balanced growth and development of young men who play the game," Steven Berger, men's game manager for US Lacrosse.
Chatfield 187.5, Yuma 164.5, Hinkley 160.5, Palmer 127.5, Eagle Valley 123, Arvada 116, Boulder 99, Conifer 96, Silver Creek 93, Columbine 86, Golden 70, Summit 54, Abraham Lincoln 54, Sheridan 51.5, Liberty 45, Steamboat Springs 44, Evergreen 43.5, Platte Canyon 22, Evergreen #2 14, Montbello 13, Skyview 12, Doherty 0, Frederick 0, Glenwood Springs 0, Lincoln 0
Haley Newhall scored a team-high 16 points and was one of two players in double figures as Evergreen won its second straight game, upsetting Green Mountain, 55-39, on Jan. 14 at Evergreen High School.
Haley Stading added 11 points for the Lady Cougars (5-8, 2-2 4A Jeffco League).
Seven different players scored for Evergreen, which had lost four straight before winning its last two.
The loss dropped Green Mountain to 7-6, 2-2 in league play.
CONIFER — Scott Haebe, prior to Evergreen's rivalry game with Conifer on Jan. 7, thought the Cougars' 3-point shooting would be a strength. But it hadn't played out that way to start the season.
It certainly did against the host Lobos, though.
Evergreen hit four 3-pointers in the first quarter and three in the first four minutes as the Cougars opened up a 13-point lead and never looked back in a 51-38 win at Conifer High School.
CONIFER — Alison Gorrell wanted it. At least that's what the public address announcer at Conifer High School unequivocally stated as the clock was winding down in the fourth quarter of the Lady Lobos' rivalry game with Evergreen on Jan. 7.
And, he ever right.

Movie Gift Ideas
The 10 Greatest Gifts For Movie Buffs
Page 3 of 3
4. Tarantino XXIt's hard to believe that we've been watching Tarantino's brand of bloody, verbose, post-modernist mayhem for 20 years now. But that's exactly what the new Tarantino XX Blu-ray box set is celebrating. There's no better way for the movie buff to gear up for Django Unchained than by revisiting every Tarantino classic, from the Tony Scott-directed True Romance to the WWII-revision Inglourious Basterds. He'll even have the chance to reconsider Jackie Brown, the Tarantino flick that never gets the props it deserves despite being right up there with Pulp Fiction among the director's best. The movie buff may already have many of these titles in some format or other, but this relatively inexpensive set brings it all into one nifty Mondo-style package that includes two bonus discs with new featurettes and retrospectives. Besides, when it comes to Tarantino, the movie buff won't mind a bit of repetition in his library. Buy it here.
The Lawrence of Arabia 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition contains oodles of extras and a restored director's cut of David Lean's masterpiece, as well as a coffee-table book and an actual film frame. That's a lot of material for your movie buff to pore over, all on top of the movie itself, which is already almost four hours long. But the real selling point of this package is the 4K restoration. Lawrence of Arabia was one of the last films to be shot on 70mm (the format resurrected for Paul Thomas Anderson's The Master). Previous home-video formats just couldn't do justice to this movie's majestic scope. The epic, true story of author T.E. Lawrence and his role in the Arab revolt deserves to be seen on the big screen, if only for Lean's breathtaking vistas. However, that option is a rare and fleeting one, so the next best thing is this Blu-ray and the biggest television you can find. Buy it here.
3. Lawrence of Arabia 50th Anniversary Collector's Edition
2. Bond 50If you present the movie buff in your life with this, he may have to give you some Bond-girl-style loving. Celebrating 50 years of 007, the Bond 50 collection brings you every single James Bond title, from Dr. No to Quantum of Solace, together for the first time ever on Blu-ray. There's even a thoughtful placeholder included so you can fit Skyfall into the collection once it arrives. Enjoy the exotic locales, the explosive action and the shimmying femme fatales, all in high def. This luxurious box set, with its sleek and sexy design, would satisfy Mr. Bond himself. Buy it here.

Hal Koerner, Owner
An outdoor enthusiast since age the 10; Hal has been hiking, running, and biking all over the United States. His real passion however is running, more specifically running the trails. Hal has been named one of the top ten ultra-runners in North America 9 times over the last 10 years. To date, Hal has run over 120 ultra-marathons (any race over 26.2 miles, and typically up to 100 miles or more) and finished in the top 3 in 75% of them. With first place finishes two years in a row at the Western States 100-miler – considered to be one of the oldest ultra trail events in the world and certainly one of the most challenging.
In addition to running races Hal is also the race director of 3 Southern Oregon runs: Tar N' Trail 6 Mile, Lithia Loop Trail Marathon, Pine to Palm 100 Mile Endurance Run.
Hal views Rogue Valley Runners as the vehicle towards which people can gain a healthy perspective of themselves, their goals, and their community as it relates to being physically active. "Community involvement, whether it be on the city streets or up on the trails is just one venue by which we can create some awareness around our need to give back to the city that gives us so much."
Ryan Ghelfi, Sales
"I came to Ashland to go to college and to run cross country and track, mostly for the running. Now that my college career has come to an end I will be moving up to running longer distances. I have run one marathon on the roads, but am looking forward to hitting the trails. I am a big fan of mountains, and all they have to offer. In addition to running in the mountains around Southern Oregon I also ski frequently, winter, spring and summer, most often climbing for my turns. My goals include skiing first descents, setting long trail records, and never getting a 'real' job."
Brett Hornig, Sales
"My name is Brett Hornig and I graduated from Southern Oregon University with a degree in Business Administration with an emphasis in Marketing. I ran Cross country and Track and Field for SOU, but am very excited to start running longer trail races. I have always favored the trails, and can't wait to explore the endless miles of single track that Ashland has to offer. I've always had a passion for the gear aspect of running; most importantly the footwear. Anyone who has run with me knows I am the shoe nerd who is always eager to run in the latest product. I hope to further pursue a career in the running industry, whether that be designing, testing or marketing products."
Abbey, Store Pup
Even though she has never entered a race, Abbey trains rather diligently logging the daily miles like a traveling salesman. We imagine she likes her svelte figure and wants to keep it that way. (Don't tell her we told you so.)

Elkins resident Akiko Endo works once a week with literacy volunteer Sue Core to improve her English skills.
"I moved from Japan to the United States in 2001," Endo said. "I came here to go to a university and earn my degree."
Endo said she did not know much English when she arrived.

Literacy Volunteers of Randolph County volunteer Sue Core helps Elkins resident Akiko Endo with her pronunciation skills. Endo, who is originally from Japan, speaks English as a second language. (The Inter-Mountain photo by Beth Christian Broschart)
"In Japan, I took a class in basic English in middle and high school," Endo said. "After high school, I went to another school to study English. Coming to the United States and actually having to talk was horrid in the beginning. People in the United States speak very fast."
Davis & Elkins College's International Language Institute brought Endo to Elkins.
"I spent a semester studying at D&E and working on my writing, reading and listening skills," Endo said. "The program is no longer available. After that semester, I went to West Virginia University where I earned a bachelor's degree in Political Science."
Core works weekly with Endo, who said she wants to learn the correct pronunciation of words.
"English has more sounds than Japanese," Endo said. "I want to be better understood when I speak English and increase my vocabulary."
Endo said English is a hard language to master for many reasons.
"The Japanese language is monotone, and English has accents on syllables," Endo said.
Also the same word can be pronounced different ways, there are so many exceptions to the rules and sometimes a word can be different depending on what part of speech for which it is being used."
Core, of the Literacy Volunteers of Randolph County, said she started volunteering after her husband passed away.
"I was looking for things to do, and I went to Romania with a group called Global Volunteers," Core said. "We worked with elementary school children teaching them English for two weeks."
Core considers herself lucky to be working with others.
"I think everyone should be able to communicate and be understood," Core said. "I am fortunate to work with intelligent young ladies right now. I help them, but I also learn so much from them about their countries and cultures."
Originally, Core became involved with the Literacy Volunteers of Randolph County through then-president Judy Seaman.
"She was very dedicated to literacy and very hard-working," Core said. "I took a class from her and learned the basics. It is a good organization if you are looking to volunteer."
Core said she would like to visit more countries and help others learn to speak English.
"I hope to travel to a university in Mexico to help students with English as their second language," Core said.
This week, Endo and Core were working on words ending with "d."
"Aki tends to add an extra 'a' when a word ends with the letter 'd,'" Core said. "That is what we are working with today."
Endo currently works translating English to Japanese and Japanese to English. She also teaches classes at the Randolph County Community Arts Center and teaches art in Randolph County elementary schools through the ArtsBank program.
In a proclamation signed earlier this month, members of the Literacy Volunteers of Randolph County said that more than 20 percent of Randolph County adults experience literacy issues that severely impact their lives and families, their ability to work productively and their full participation as citizens and residents of our city.
The Literacy Volunteers have a long-standing commitment to help bridge that gap by offering their services with reading and writing, or with English as a second language, by tutoring people age 16 and older.
The Literacy Volunteers of Randolph County office is located at 400 Davis Ave. in the YMCA in Elkins. More information about services and volunteer opportunities is available by calling 304-636-4515 or by e-mail at email@example.com.

Wolves look to add consistency to their game
John Callaghan's mantra throughout basketball season has been playing with intelligence.
South Kitsap's boys coach believes the Wolves must couple that with tough defense in order to be successful.
They've been inconsistent with the former and it led to mixed results last week. South lost at Bellarmine Prep despite a strong second half and returned two days later with a 72-63 overtime win Friday against Mount Tahoma. The Wolves trailed by 17 points entering the fourth quarter of that game.
"The way we were playing, it looked hopeless," Callaghan said. "But that's basketball. You never know."
Mike Longmire had a game-high 20 points, while Leon La Deaux added 18 points to lead the Wolves.
"All year we've played great defense," Callaghan said. "That's what has kept us in games. Now we're starting to figure out where our strengths are on offense."
Because Tuesday's game against Shelton was postponed — it now is scheduled for Feb. 9 — the Wolves only play once this week. They played Thursday at Foss, a team that beat them 55-39 on Dec. 10.
"As it turns out, I think it's a good thing for us," Callaghan said Tuesday. "It gives us a lot of time to prepare for a really tough game against Foss."
Callaghan wasn't complaining about the extra day of preparation for the Falcons (12-4 overall, 8-3 league), who enter the game tied with Lincoln for first place in the Bridge Division. South is in fourth place, but only one game back in the loss column.
"There's five teams with a legit shot at it and only four are going to get into the Narrows League Tournament," Callaghan said. "Every game is going to be huge."
That's important because the top two teams in both the Bay and Bridge divisions automatically advance out of the Narrows League to the West Central District Tournament. The top four teams in each division qualify for the Narrows League Tournament.
It would be a stretch to suggest that the Wolves' playoff prospects are tenuous, but a loss against Foss followed by another Saturday at Wilson could put the Wolves (10-5, 6-4) in that position. They host fifth-place Gig Harbor (7-8, 4-7) on Tuesday. The Tides won the previous game between the teams, 53-52, on Dec. 16.
South then plays Thursday at Lincoln before finishing the regular season against last-place Shelton (2-13, 1-9).
At South Kitsap 72, Mount Tahoma 63 (OT)
Mount Tahoma 10 12 20 11 10 — 63
South Kitsap 6 11 8 28 19 — 72
Mount Tahoma — Smithererman 0, Harris 2, Lord 17, Baines 3, McClarron 15, Byrd 4, Bazile 16, Pate 4, Barr 2.

Wages, Rents, Unemployment, and the Quality of Life
Matthias Wrede
University of Erlangen-Nuremberg-Friedrich Alexander Universität Erlangen Nürnberg - Institute of Economics; CESifo (Center for Economic Studies and Ifo Institute)
April 30, 2012
CESifo Working Paper Series No. 3803
Combining a spatial equilibrium model with a matching unemployment model, this paper analyzes the regional quality of life when wages, rents, and unemployment risk compensate for local amenities and disamenities. In particular, the paper shows for quasi-linear utility that the effects of any amenity on wages and unemployment rates are of opposite sign. Additionally, the wage rate and the labor market tightness increase and the unemployment ratio decreases in reaction to an increase in the level of an amenity if the amenity is marginally more beneficial to producers than to consumers per unit of land. Based on the model, quality of life of average mobile workers in West German counties is estimated.

I'd be keen to hear how many of you had names that made the list every decade, or had names that didn't feature in one.
1990 – Jessica, Brittany, and Samantha; Michael, Daniel, and Justin
1980 – Jennifer, Melissa, and Heather; Michael, Christopher, and Jason

Watch stocks you care about
The single, easiest way to keep track of all the stocks that matter...
Your own personalized stock watchlist!
It's a 100% FREE Motley Fool service...
Although we don't believe in timing the market or panicking over market movements, we do like to keep an eye on big changes -- just in case they're material to our investing thesis.
What: Shares of Affymetrix (UNKNOWN: AFFX.DL ) , a maker of life science tools and molecular diagnostic products, sank as much as 15% after announcing its preliminary first-quarter revenue results.
So what: For the quarter, Affymetrix anticipates reporting $78 million in revenue -- of which $19 million will be from its eBioscience segment, which it acquired in June -- and should have approximately $38 million in cash on hand when the quarter ends. Wall Street had been forecasting revenue of $83.3 million for the first quarter. Affymetrix's CEO, Frank Witney, blamed weakness on its gene expression business around the globe, but singled out Japan as the most disappointing region. Witney also reaffirmed the company's commitment to paying down its remaining $70 million in debt.
Now what: It's kind of hard to get excited about eBioscience's contribution, Affymetrix's shrinking debt, or its recent genotyping deal with BioBank, when Witney noted that weakness was seen around the globe. That right there is a cue that this isn't a one-quarter problem, but could represent a genuine slowdown in diagnostic demand altogether -- especially abroad. As much as I like the concept of molecular diagnostic testing, even going so far as to say it could benefit from the implementation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, I'd suggest keeping your distance from Affymetrix until its results show at least some signs of improvement.
Craving more input? Start by adding Affymetrix to your free and personalized Watchlist so you can keep up on the latest news with the company.
While you can certainly make huge gains in diagnostic companies like Affymetrix, the best investing approach is to choose great companies and stick with them for the long term.

Diya Aur Baati Hum 17th December 2012 Written Episode
Diya aur Baati Hum 17th December 2012 Video Watch Online 720p *HD*
Written Update Episode starts with Bhabo asking Sandhya to tell what happened to her sari and why it has been slicked with oil, Sandhya is silent.
Everyone stares at Sandhya.
Seeing Sandhya silent, Chaturi tells Bhabo that Sandhyas sari was with Suraj Jis cloth and so the oil may have got to her sari from Surajs cloth.
SurYa were anxious, fnally Bhabo asks Sandhya why she is quiet? Sandhya gets tensed.
Asks her to resume reading newspaper.
Now Sandhya reads the report of the oil spill at Ajmer and due to which a series of consecutive accidents occurred. Everyone is shocked and discusses about the accident.
(This is called digging ones own grave, Sandy should have skipped this news segment instead as it was inside, not in front page )
One thing led to another, Sandy goes to kitchen to save a dish from overcooking, Mohit takes over the reading from her and reads the full news segment, Bhabasa asks him to drop off at his friends place, Suraj says he will be able to do so only after 2 PM, Suraj asks Mohit if he wont go to office or not so as to dissuade him from reading the report, but Mohit says he will finish reading this report and goes to office, Mohit goes out to cross check if Surajs scooter is present outside or not.
Mohit shows everyone newspaper pic of Surajs scooter, and Vikram certifies that, and Bhabo sees it as well, Mohit says the stain on Sandys saree is from oil spills dropped on road, and so she and Suraj met with an accident last night, Meena remembers Sandy trying to hide her feet, and goes to see if Sandy got any wounds or not, and finally raises her sari and see the wound on elbow, and by this everything is out in open, Bhabo is shocked and goes to see Sandys wounds.
Mohit says SurYa might have been to a late nght show as there are multiplex and malls lined up on the road, Chavi asks how come he know so much about Ajmer (me thinks something fishy with Mohit and Emily, otherwise how come Mohit knew about all these) Mohit says he came to know all these from newspapers.
Suraj is quiet.
Bhabo says Mohit to stop insulting Suraj just like that, and asks Suraj the truth, also adds that if Suraj had to go to cinema hall, he would have surely taken her permission for it.
Bhabo again asks Suraj why was he with Sandy so late there at Ajmer, Suraj stays silent, and Bhabo takes it as acceptance of Mohits allegation, and as usual starts her rantings, says every-time Bhabasa blames her for not trusting SurYa but this time too is she as fault or what, and says every-time she thinks of trusting Suraj, every-time Suraj breaks her trust.
Chavi and Mohit blames Suraj for setting a bad example. They says when younger siblings do these they get blames, but it seems Suraj is indulging in all these nowadays, these lies and all.
Bhabo is in tears, says Suraj is giving more importance to Sandy, is it okay, but at least Suraj should ask permission from Bhabo before going out so late at night, and shouldnt tell blatant lies as he told the last night.
Bhabo goes away, SurYa returns in GG room, Sandhya asks Suraj why he didnt tell the other day that Bhabo was seeking her to teach her sewing, as she doesnt want to leave any room for Bhabo to remain unsatisfied or any of her household chores unfulfilled.
Suraj said her classes were more important, and as its timings were near, so he didnt want to waste Sandys class as Bhabo wasnt too eager also, she postponed it to next day, Sandhya shows a sewing set to Suraj and says she is eager to learn sewing and do all things in house in perfect fashion such that Bhabo doesnt get any room for making complaints. By saying these, Sandy goes away, Suraj is left sitting, sad, dejected and unsure what to do next.
Suraj thinks in his mind, that he tried his best to keep both Bhabo and Sandhya happy, but it seems he is fighting for a losing cause, and didnt fathom the turn of events earlier.
Finally, Suraj says telling Bhabo about education now wont be prudent and looks out of sorts at this time, and thinks of future course of action.
Precap> Sandy washing clothes with detergents and beating them with wooden stick (small), Meena sees that from door and says what had gotten to Sandy today that she is working so hard.
Later, at balcony, Sandhya was about to hang clothes when she notice that one cloth (probably a kurta or T-shirt) got a large hole in it right at the centre, ROFL Bhabo is seeing from the other end & seems enraged, and Sandy is shocked as how come it happene

Atlanta Plans to Demolish Turner Field in 2017
ATLANTA -- Atlanta's mayor said Tuesday that the city will demolish Turner Field after the Braves leave for a new stadium in the suburbs in 2017.
Mayor Kasim Reed said at a news conference that the stadium will not be left vacant after the team starts playing at a new field in Cobb County in three years.
"We're going to have a master developer that is going to demolish the Ted and we're going to have one of the largest developments for middle-class people that the city has ever had," he said, referring to the stadium's nickname.
The mayor said Atlanta had hoped to keep the team in the city but could not afford to do so. He says the city would have had to take on $150 million to $250 million in debt to make the improvements the Braves wanted at Turner Field.

The field of communications has advanced tremendously over the past 30 years. I am not speaking of satellite-enabled, worldwide transmission of images and words but of person-to-person communications-the methods humans deliberately use to affect each other's thoughts, feelings, and motivations. Politicians, business leaders, and advertisers have adopted the wisdom of this science to influence elections, increase productivity, and motivate us to buy products. Psychiatry roots its expertise in the science of interpersonal communication. Much psychiatric diagnosis and treatment occurs during the talk between psychiatrist and patient. The field of family practice has recognized the centrality of human communications by requiring accredited residencies to have a specific curriculum in behavioral and psychosocial medicine.

Mindi Rahn attended Southern like her parents and sister did before her. During her senior year, Rahn signed up for an archaeology study tour of the Seven Churches of Revelation in Turkey. She credits this very trip for solidifying her belief in the Bible.
After graduating with a history degree, Rahn worked as a United Nations liaison officer for the Seventh-day Adventist Church. The experience opened her eyes to the needs of people around the world.
Wanting to serve them to the best of her ability, Rahn obtained a Master of Arts degree in International Studies/Relations from Claremon Graduate University and then received Bible work training from the ARISE Institute. A great opportunity to serve became available soon after when Malamulo Seventh-day Adventist Hospital in Malawi needed help improving the hospital water system and assisting the chaplain. Rahn worked in Malawi for half a year before returning to Southern in 2009 to teach in the History Department.
While studying nursing at Southern, Wayne Smith earned a private pilot license at the Collegedale Airport. He learned how to combine nursing and flying when he attended GO '97, a young adult mission conference held at Andrews University.
Smith soon enrolled at Andrews for aviation. He completed his studies there, acquired a commercial pilot license, and travelled to Guyana for his first mission aviation trip. During the time in South America, Smith realized his desire for more medical skills and returned to the U.S. determined to become a doctor.
While Smith attended medical school at East Tennessee State University, he volunteered on dozens of medical expeditions with Remote Area Medical, a non-profit organization that combines aviation and healthcare volunteers.
Smith completed his residency in anesthesiology at the University of Tennessee Medical Center in Knoxville and later accepted a position in Johnson City, Tennessee.
Smith continues to use his aviation skills to assist in disaster relief with his wife, Kristy, including a trip to Haiti last December where they worked on a clinic and airstrip-building expedition.
In his third year at Southern, James Tucker received some advice from K.M. Kennedy, chair of the education department, to switch majors from theology to biology (with a minor in education) and consider teaching as a form of ministry. The change was just what Tucker needed; he desired to work with children and youth.
Along with his passion to work with youth, Tucker also developed an avocational interest in birds. While in graduate school at the University of Texas, he came up with the idea for a newsletter on bird watching. His idea led to the foundation of the American Birding Association and its journal, Birding. Since then, Birding has become the primary bird watching journal in the world.
Just as Tucker's hobby led him places, so did his professional career. From 1973 to 1993, he worked with educational systems in 40 states and in foreign countries on three continents. After completing his work in the public school system, Tucker helped develop a leadership program at Andrews University. In 2001 he accepted the McKee Chair of Excellence in Learning position at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, where he worked with other faculty to create the first doctoral program of the university.
Tucker and his wife, Priscilla, have written several family devotional books like Glimpses of God's Love, Nature Quest, and In His Hands.
From participating in humanitarian efforts around the world to bringing reform to the educational systems both in the U.S. and overseas, Southern's graduates become leaders of change after experiencing our culture of service.

Judge: Diehl-Armstrong's statements admissible in 'pizza bomber' case
The U.S. Attorney's Office will have its key evidence intact when it prosecutes Marjorie Diehl-Armstrong in the "pizza bomber" case.
A judge late Friday rejected a defense request that he toss the statements as evidence in the trial, which starts with jury selection on Tuesday.
He said the defense provided no evidence that the FBI violated Diehl-Armstrong's rights when agents met with her eight times in prison in 2005 and 2006 to talk to her about the bombing death of pizza deliveryman Brian Wells on Aug. 28, 2003. Investigators used the statements to help a grand jury indict her in July 2007 on charges she conspired in the bank-robbery plot that ended in Wells' death.
In a 27-page ruling docketed at 6:09 p.m., U.S. District Judge Sean J. McLaughlin rejected each of the defense's contentions that investigators violated Diehl-Armstrong's rights in talking to her.
He said the agents coerced none of the statements, that Diehl- Armstrong initiated the conversations, that she was represented by a lawyer during some of the talks and that the agents explained her Miranda rights.
Far from being an unsophisticated person duped or pressured into talking to police, McLaughlin said, Diehl-Armstrong, 61, was a willing participant who used the interviews to benefit herself by, for instance, getting transferred to another prison.
The agents, including the lead investigator, Gerald Clark, of the FBI, interviewed her while she was serving a seven-to-20-year state prison sentence for the 2003 shooting death of her boyfriend James Roden.
McLaughlin said the agents treated her in a way that, though she was in prison, she was not unduly confined or restricted, and thus was not under duress to talk. And he said the defense provided no evidence that Diehl- Armstrong's mental illness -- she suffers from a bipolar disorder -- prevented her from understanding her rights.
"The defendant is an intelligent, educated, middle-aged woman with substantial prior experience in the criminal justice system," McLaughlin said in the decision. "At no time throughout the interview process did she indicate that she was confused in any respect as to the nature of her rights.
"Quite to the contrary, she demonstrated an understanding of those rights on numerous occasions by refusing to discuss certain topics or by terminating the interviews altogether."
McLaughlin, who based his decision on testimony at an evidentiary hearing on Monday, said the investigators "were generally very cordial, low key and decent toward" Diehl-Armstrong, who did not testify.
"In sum," McLaughlin said in the decision, "the totality of the evidence establishes that all of the defendant's statements were made voluntarily as a product of a free and deliberate choice rather than as a result of government intimidation, coercion or deception."
Diehl-Armstrong has said the agents twisted her words. She has said she was framed in the Wells case by her former fiance, William A. Rothstein, who died of cancer in July 2004 and is an unindicted co-conspirator in the Wells case. The body of Roden, Diehl-Armstrong's boyfriend, was found in Rothstein's freezer.
McLaughlin's ruling, which provides details of the agents' interviews, shows that Diehl-Armstrong had inside knowledge of the Wells case. The agent said Diehl-Armstrong told them Rothstein was involved, that Rothstein and Wells knew each other and that Roden was killed to keep him quiet about the Wells scheme, in which Wells robbed a bank in Summit Township before the bomb locked to his neck exploded.
Diehl-Armstrong in the interviews asked for immunity, but she never got a deal. The agents used information from others to corroborate Diehl-Armstrong's statements and secure an indictment.
McLaughlin's ruling allows the prosecutor, Assistant U.S. Attorney Marshall Piccinini, to use Diehl-Armstrong's own words to contend that she was part of the plot.
The ruling also leaves Diehl-Armstrong's court-appointed lawyer, Douglas Sughrue, with the task of trying to blunt the effects of Diehl-Armstrong's statements before the jury.
She faces a life sentence if convicted.

Young men began wearing colorful shirts and slacks, and using velvet, silk, and satin fabric.
Designers began creating shaped, slightly flared, longer jackets with deep vents and belted backs. Trousers were pleated in the front and flared at the bottom.
The dress for success movement brought back the traditional suit.
Colored shirts began replacing the standard white shirt. Traditional suits became less of a requirement.
Men began replacing the formal business suit with sports coats in the office.
Young men began transitioning to slim, streamlined jackets with tapered pants.
Designers began crafting short jackets with side vents, extremely wide collars, and slacks without cuffs.
This is the beginning of the flannel charcoal-gray suit.
When the war ended, tailors began styling the jacket with long lapels and a wider waist. Color and patterns also became popular after the war.
Tailors began using rayon mixtures.
The suit had a square, military shoulder line, a double-breasted front that was very full across the chest and back, and a sharply nipped-in waistline.
The suit trousers were widened during this decade.
The men's suit had a single-breasted jacket with narrow lapels (folded flaps of cloth on the front of a jacket or coat) and high buttons. The trousers were slim and straight.

Use matlab to solve this task.
Using the Fourier Transform, compare the Spectral Content of the wave-?le you have
generated previously (using cosines) for the song Für Elise to that of an original piano
recording of the same song. A wave ?le with a piano version will be provided just in case
of need.
Hint: Remember that the ?le you generated uses a sampling frequency of 8 kHz whereas
and the original piano version is provided with a sampling frequency of 44:1 kHz.
Alternatively, you can record individual notes from the piano and compare its Fourier
Spectrum to the spectrum of a signal of the same frequency generated using the cosine
function. Case you cannot record the signals by yourself, you can use some of the ones
available on Fronter.

Hi, I was jut wondering, if I post this problem will someone be able to help me? It's a design project. Anyway, I'll post it and hope for the best.
It's DESIGN PROJECT 4: POWER FLOW/SHORT CIRCUITS, page 374-375 of "Power System Analysis and Design" (Glover, Sarma, Overbye; 5E).
Basically, a one-line diagram is assigned, and positive-sequence impedance, load, voltage data has to be converted to pu, and then it has to be constructed on Powerworld Simulator, and I'll have to " create three input data files: bus input data, line input data, and transformer input data. Note that bus 1 is the swing bus. Your output for this assignment consists of three power-flow input data files.
Case 1. Run the power flow program and obtain the bus, line, and transformer input/output data files that you prepared in Assignment 1.
Case 2. Suggest one method of increasing the voltage magnitude at bus 4 by 5%. Demonstrate the efectiveness of your method by making appropriate changes to the input data of case 1 and by running the power flow program. Your output for this assignment consists of 12 data files, 3 input and 3 output data files for each case, along with a one-paragraph explanation of your method for increasing the voltage at bus 4 by 5%.
I'll attach the associated Figure.

Soulsavers, Kingdoms of Rain
Years and years and years ago, Mark Lanegan had a little song called "Kingdoms of Rain" on his album Whiskey for the Holy Ghost. Shy little thing with a low tech feel--not quite country music, but some kind of old Americana. It was definitely one of the standout tracks on an utterly brilliant album. When Lanegan went to work with Soulsavers a few years ago for an album that was released earlier this year (and to be released soon here in the US), they did a remake of his old tune and breathed a creaky new life into the thing.
It's a slow song that borders on somber; it's still quiet but more full than the original. Mostly, though, it's a mood and a voice that catches you--something like Johnny Cash's version of Nine Inch Nails' "Hurt". A spiritual companion, if you will. And here's the video from the record label, V2.
Speaking of Lanegan, a song from his album, Bubblegum, was featured on Rescue Me a week or so ago. It's good to see his name popping up as the artist, but I do wonder what people will think when they pick up the CD. The song features was "100 Days", a slow, sweet love song of sorts--very pretty. But Bubblegum is a little more earthy than that--it starts out with the droning dirge of "When Your Number Isn't Up", a song about not quite dying with lines like "No one needs to tell you that there's no use for you here anymore." Not exactly uplifting and certainly not pretty.
In fact, before "100 Days" pops up, listeners roll through "Hit the City," a restless rocker with guest vocals by PJ Harvey, and "Methamphetamine Blues" with its industrial clank and grind, distorted vocals, and Queens of the Stone Age guitar line. These are, for lack of a better word, grimy songs.
The pretty "100 Days" and utterly gorgeous "Strange Religion" are the exceptions on the album.
For any fans of Rescue Me looking to buy something from Lanegan that matches the beauty of "100 Days", though, I might suggest that Field Songs would be the best place to start. "Field Song", "Resurrection Song", and "Low" are all amongst his best stuff, and highly recommended.
Just sayin'.
