I used to be pretty adamant about pulling them when they came up..... Amazing how keeping bees changes your perspective....;- )
This always makes me laugh because it seems we have this odd relationship with things called "weeds". I love dandelions. As kids we used to rub them on our faces like war paint. I make dandelion wine out of them every year for my wife now. Heard you can eat them but never tried. They light up the rolling hillside with no planting effort, what isn't to like? More recent years taught me they provide a valuable service to bees. Can you do that with most or any flowers that aren't labeled weeds in your yard?
One of my brothers (who lives in a development) systematically commits dandelion genocide each year. He really hates them and calls them weeds (he used to like them too). Sometimes I wonder what drove him mad
I remember reading that a town (or country) survived on eating dandelions, that every part of it is eatable. When i was growing up and going barefooted and seen a dandelion, you looked before you stepped on it, because there was usually a bee on it.
well it all depends on whats blooming at the time currently they fill in the gap here before the fruit trees start to bloom.dandelions start here after the elms and willows my bees are all over them as soon as the first one opens.even right outside there box they continue to bee on them until there gone.
I second the dandelion wine... Good stuff.
One of my favorite "Beverly Hillbillies" scenes is when they first arrive in Beverly Hills and Granny sends Jethro and Ellie May out to get some greens while Granny starts supper. They come back exhausted and dejected and inform Granny "there must've been a famine Granny, why there ain't no greens to be found for miles around, it's all picked clean, not even a dandelion! Nothing but grass as far as you can see!"

The root of the dandelion can be used for medicinal purposes. Its flowers can be harvested for wine. And its greens have a bitterness that can be delicious (plus they're packed with iron). http://www.thekitchn.com/10-ways-to-...-kitchn-188774
I also came across this recipe. Looks good although, based on what I've seen in my hood, I'm better off buying my wild greens. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/dandelion-salad/

At the moment the dandelions are providing a decent nectar flow. Much more than the fruit trees.
In some hidden places there can be found lots and lots of dandelions.
I use dandelions as follows: I collect one or two hand full of dandelion blossoms and cook them in just a cup of water, lightly simmering for 20 minutes. In the meantime I melt and brown sugar in a shallow pan. Once the water has boiled down a bit I strain off the blossoms and pour the water carefully into the syrup. Stirring it for a minute and let it set and cool in jars. At wintertime the resulting syrup makes a nice remedy for colds. Especially good for treating sore throats.
Comments about timing of supering in reference to Dandelions always confused me because here the main Dandelion bloom is not until early Summer. So it is after swarm season and after most fruit trees have finished flowering.
They are around for a few months before that but not that many are flowering up until that time. So not an early source here.
Matthew Davey
And I thought you keep on supering all year round in good ol' Australia.
That water white nectar that you see is likely bedstraw/catch weed - an 8 inch weed that is the whte patch of weed bloom you see now in hayfields and pastures. It's late this year. In that patch of white bloom the blooms are so close together that the bees can walk from one bloom to the next. The bees love it.
I didn't know what bedstraw was, so I googled it. We call it Cleavers around here, if it is what it looked like to me in the pictures. It sticks or rather, clings to just about everything.
That's the one. That no doubt is the source of the other common name (catch weed), It has fine hairs on the stems that stick to your socks. Do plants have "hairs?" It has a couple other stem novelties. The stems are more square than round, and as it grows each stem forks, repeatedly. 1, 2, 4, 8, and the last fork is just below the touching double bloom, making a solid mat of bloom in a solid stand of the plant. If mowed early, that solid mat can be only 3 inchs above the ground. And cold temp tolerant. Will outgrow and shade fescue.
The easiest way to ID a plant you don't know is to drop a sample off at your county Extension office. If the locals don't know, they send it to someone who does. You will get an answer. Did that on this weed, because of its water white nectar. But we don't get that nectar in the supers - It blooms in the storage lull, just prior to main flow.
Yep, it's hairy and loves to grow in my shrubbery beds. We must have a little different variety here because I have never seen a mat of blooms. Perhaps I just haven't seen enough of it growing together to form a mat.
Here is a video we made of our newly installed package bees bringing in Pollen on day 3. I believe it is mainly dandelion pollen.

|For other characters with the name Isaac, see Isaac (disambiguation)
Isaac Roth (Hebrew: יצחק רוט) is a character in the Grand Theft Auto series who appears as a minor character in Grand Theft Auto IV, The Lost and Damned, and The Ballad of Gay Tony.
Roth was born in Broker, Liberty City, in 1976. At some point in his life he joined the Jewish Mob together with friend and partner Mori Green, and became one of its central members. His main job was diamond dealing.
Roth had deals with Claude Wome for diamonds imported from Africa, one time leading to being arrested.
Events of GTA IV
The Diamond Deal
Roth also had connections with Pegorino Family Capo Ray Boccino. He entered a deal with Ray, which took place in the The Libertonian. Isaac, Mori and two others stood face-to-face with the two men dealing for Ray, Johnny Klebitz and Niko Bellic. While Mori was looking at the diamonds, Luis Fernando Lopez shot Mori from a window overlooking the transaction. Isaac ran to Mori's side and tried to help him but when he realized he was dead, he snatched the diamonds and ran while Johnny took the money. Soon Isaac was caught and knocked out by Luis, who then stole the diamonds and took them to Gay Tony.
Isaac thought the ambush was set up by Ray and threatened to have him killed. In retaliation, Ray sent Niko to kill Isaac at his base in the Majestic Hotel.

Or try google.com , search for anise hyssop and click on 'images'.
The 6 large anise hyssop plants that i planted last year came up just as big and strong this year again, exactly the same plants. Plus lots of baby seedlings now in the spots around them. We have tough winters here, and the hyssop was not and annual at all! Maybe they die after a couple years?
The little bee returns with evening's gloom,
To join her comrades in the braided hive... -Tennyson
If this is Anise Hyssop, I have been mowing, weedeating, and bushhogging this invasive weed for the last two years!!! Ya'll go ahead and laugh at me, but if you keep it mowed you never see the blooms!
Thanks for the help Omie and NasalSponge.
That does look like a type of mint. There is a quick way to tell if it is Anise Hyssop or not. I hate to say this because it is never a good idea to taste of a plant that you don't know exactly what it is. But, Anise Hyssop leaves will taste like black licorice. Other mints will have varying tastes, but will remind you of tea, unless it is peppermint or spearmint. Of course, this is just a general statement.
Bees will work all of the mints, but some don't make very tasty honey.
Let a small patch flower and see what you get.
Gonna let it all flower, except what is right in my yard. I took a survey of it yesterday afternoon. Found one patch close to a creek on my neighbors place about 100 feet x 30 feet and solid. Nothing but this. If I can talk him into not bushogging it, it would be good. Chances of that are good, as he is an absentee owner. Oh, yeah, It does taste like licorice!
Where I live the anise hyssop isn't invasive like other mints. It doesn't send off runners underground for new plants.
There have been a couple articles claiming that 2 acres of anise blue hyssop can support 250 hives, thats just a crazy number.
Another thing in the mint family my bees are working right now is Horehound, it hasn't spread in my garden either.

"You have the right person."
As soon as I read that line, the day after the Aurora shootings, I knew it was a misquote.
It was part of a scoop for ABC: they'd tracked down the shooter's mom and got her on the phone. Their report used the quote three times - once in the headline and twice in the story itself - and went out of its way to characterize its meaning: James Holmes's mom "told ABC News her son was
likely the alleged culprit," "immediately expressed concern her son may be involved in the
shooting death of at least 12 people overnight" and was "apparently speaking on gut

As a new parent a decade-and-a-half ago I decided that I was going to raise my children in a commercial-television-free/video-game-free household. At the time, the American Pediatric Association was suggesting that children under 2 watch no television/have no screen time at all and that children over 2 receive no more than 1-2 hours of quality programming/screen time per day. I was going to do the American Pediatric Association one better, however: I aimed for no commercial television for anyone in the house at all (and only very-occasional use of the VCR for my son). When the time came to discuss video games, the conversation would be simple: my children would ask and I would earnestly explain, "You may play video games when you're an adult."
We made it through 4 years (and one month-long hospital visit with kiddo #2) of parenthood before we did a complete about-face and caved on the no-television. Three years after that we were buying our first gaming console–a Playstation 2. This was followed almost immediately by a stream of Gameboys, Nintendo DSs, and iPod Touches provided by a loving, collaborative team of aunts, uncles, and Santa Clauses. In 2007 we purchased a Wii and just last month we bought an Xbox 360 to celebrate kiddo #2′s accolade-laden report card. All in all, quite a fall from screen-free grace.

Q&A With Chargers Director Of Scouting Jimmy Raye
Chargers Director of College Scouting Jimmy Raye is tasked with overseeing and coordinating the Chargers' scouting efforts. Essentially, it is Raye's job to delegate the best schools to each of his scouts spread throughout the country. Raye then visits all the top players in each of his scout's areas, in order see the top 150 players up close in person.
Raye's area scouts write reports on a player, that is then cross-checked with another scout's report. Raye will then write his own report on the player and act as a tiebraker if a consensus opinion isn't reached between his scouts. The information Raye and his scouts gather help General Manager A.J. Smith make a decision come draft day.
I recently conducted an interview Jimmy Raye, who was kind enough to take the time to answer some questions I had...
Some programs gain a reputation for putting out good players at certain positions. Schools like Virginia and Boston College have produced great offensive line prospects in recent years. USC seems to always have good linebackers. How much stock do you put into that? And on the flip side, what about schools that have stigmas attached to them, like Florida's wide receiver prospects failing to make much of an impact?
"We focus on each player and what he has done and what we think he can do. His school is little or no factor in our evaluation."
When you rank players on your board, do you also take into account the value of the position that they play? Without going into much detail, do some positions have more or less value than others? Will you elevate certain players based on the position they play?
"A player's position does not affect how we rank him on our board. We rank players strictly by the grades they receive from our scouting staff."
Do scouts stay awake at night trying to get a read on the underclassmen that come out? Is there more risk involved going with a younger guy because there is less tape on him? The one-year-wonder types have to make your job more difficult, right?
"Once an underclassmen declares for the draft, we have plenty of time to go back and look at his tape and see him workout in person if necessary."
Do you also have to look at the value they present you by coming out early; some of these juniors, had they went back and had great senior years, might go a lot higher the following year at a spot where you'd have no shot at taking them.
"We take everything into account, such as a player's age and experience. However, a player's production on the field is always our number-one criteria."
Every draft has it's share of "sleepers." Are there any players in particular, either on the San Diego Chargers or elsewhere, that you scouted as mid-round prospects that you felt would have a bright future in the pros and who have gone on to live up to those expectations?
"We don't believe in sleepers. We rank players on our board and pretty much stick to our board throughout the draft. Thus, we always draft players where we think they should be drafted."
The second round of each draft year is always an interesting one because there are so many quality players still on the board. What does the second round represent to you? Why do players fall into this round?
"Again, we always put the players on our board by their rank and draft accordingly. There are plenty of good football players out there to be found in every round."
Finish this sentence: With the 16th pick in the 2009 NFL Draft, the San Diego Chargers select...
"You'll have to tune in to find out."
Thanks Jimmy and Bill for doing this interview, we appreciate it!

Good interview. Not surprising that Raye didn't reveal much. The front office is a tight-lipped bunch for sure.
A frustrating interview to read, though I'd expect nothing less from a team which plays things very close to the vest.

Answer to last question:
a) Tyson Jackson
b) Michael Oher
c) Rey Maualuga

Rodelinda, by George Frideric Handel
'The Triumph of Marital Love'
Rodelinda, Queen of Lombardy, mourns for her husband Bertarido, the deposed King who is presumed dead. Rodelinda honors her husband's memory as she fights off the advances of the usurper Grimoaldo. But Grimoaldo is a pussycat compared to his ruthless adviser, Garibaldo. Rodelinda, possibly the strongest female character in all of opera, manages to hold her own. But what has happened to Bertarido? Come to the lecture to find out. The Handel Opera Project is performing Rodelinda on Jan. 26 at 2601 Durant Ave, Berkeley. Go see the opera with your newfound knowledge!
Opera for the People is a lecture series by Larry Oppenheim designed for both the opera novice and the experienced opera lover. In less than an hour, you'll enjoy a guided tour of an opera which combines concise commentary with exciting video excerpts. If you are new to opera, you will discover the key anchor points to listen for. If you are an opera veteran, you will come away with new insights and a fresh perspective. And if you plan to attend a performance, your enhanced knowledge should increase your enjoyment!
Larry Oppenheim is president of the Kensington Symphony Orchestra (East Bay), where he is co-principal oboe, and also writes the program notes. Larry's goal is to make opera more enjoyable and accessible to everyone – including those who may have never gone to an opera.

|OK, this is a 14er, and its a pretty cool trudge. The Dannon guide is kinda outdated on road conditions up to the Mitchell Creek Trailhead. This road currently is too rough for most passenger cars if you want to keep your oil pan intact. I bottomed out near the beginning and barely managed to escape back to the small parking area near the Interstate. We caught a ride up in a 4x4 SUV. The road had several spots further up where it was even rougher. This is a very centrally located 14er and you can see many, many prominent mountains from this summit. To me, identifying these was the most fun. And we saw several friendly mountain goats close up!

Have any of you actually watched him play this year or are you just watching highlight videos on YouTube?
He was downright awful this year, in between his personal foul penalties you got to see him look completely lost, misread plays constantly, and just show his instincts are really subpar.
He is nowhere near being an elite prospect. Maybe in the 3rd or 4th round, no way would I draft him sooner.

Today I removed the hive top feeder and I was immediately attacked by the bees. I quickly closed up the hive and set the feeder next to the hive, there were bees inside it. The bees stayed inside the feeder quite awhile (couple hours)so I smacked it trying to get them out so they would go back into the hive and I could put the feeder away. They are now clustered just under the front of the hive and a spot on the ground and there are still quite afew left in the feeder. It's around 40 degrees, raining and dark.
Why would they stay outside clustering? At first I thought maybe the queen was on the bottom of the feeder when I smacked it, but there are 2 clusters on the ground and still some in the feeder. Just before dusk I went and checked on them, they were clustered so I blew on them and a few came at me, but it didnt break up the cluster.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks, Ron

Michael Bublé and his wife have announced they are expecting their first child.
The Canadian crooner's wife, Argentine actress and model Luisana Lopilato, 25, announced the news in a video message on her official website today, with a note that read: "Me and Mike have big news for you!"
The 22-second clip opens with the words "Mike, Lu...and mini Bublé!!!" before cutting to an ultrasound image and a snap of the couple kissing. It ends with the words "We are having a mini Buble!!!"
Bublé, 37, and Lopilato got engaged in November 2009, and married in March 2011.
The Haven't Met You Yet singer previously said he was keen to start a family as soon as his wife was on board.
"I've said to [Luisana] a million times I'd love to have kids," Bublé told ET Canada.
"But I always say to her when you're ready - when you feel like you've lived and you've partied and done all the things you want to do. When you've worked your butt off, then tell me."
He added: "All my friends have babies so every time one of them says, 'Guess what, you're going to be an uncle,' part of me is so happy for them and the other part of me is jealous."
Bublé also shared in a 2011 interview: "We hope to be pregnant by next Christmas. And it makes me really excited to think about all the practicing we can do."
Check out the announcement video below:

Divine Digs Along Puget Sound
Governor Hotel • Olympia, WA
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a Grand King Room ($169) or Grand King Suite ($189)
- Bottle of Washington Wine and Truffles
- Two-for-One Dinner at Adesso Restaurant and Two-for-One Tickets to Harlequin Productions
- Combine Vouchers to Stay Up to Six Nights
Impressed with the majesty of coastal Washington's mountains, British explorers named the range after Mount Olympus, a peak so heavenly that the Greek gods called it home. Today, the Olympic Mountains and surrounding area are no less divine. See for yourself on this Escape to the Governor Hotel in Olympia, Washington.
You and a companion will spend two nights in a Grand King Room ($169) or Grand King Suite ($189) and receive a bottle of Washington wine, chocolate truffles, two-for-one dinner at Adesso restaurant, and two-for-one tickets to the Harlequin Productions.
The fruit of recent renovations, brand-new Grand King Rooms and Suites are outfitted with features befitting a deity, including 46-inch flat-screen LCD TVs, massage shower heads, pillow menus, floor-to-ceiling windows, and French balconies. Grand King accommodations are perched on the top floors for views of the State Capitol, Capitol Lake, Puget Sound, and, of course, the Olympic Mountains.
The ancient Greeks made routine offerings to keep the gods happy, but they wouldn't have been able to match all that Olympia has to give. "The old and charming downtown area is compact and easy on the feet," says Fodor's review of Olympia. "There are little unexpected surprises all through town, from pretty little half-block parks and blossoming miniature gardens to clutches of Thai and Vietnamese restaurants and antiques shops."
Two-for-one tickets to the nearby Harlequin Productions will surely put a smile on your face. This theater offers everything from classic plays like Henry V to Jesus Christ Superstar. Whether you're in the mood for a tragedy or a comedy, Harlequin has something to keep you entertained.
When you're ready for a bit of bacchanalia, Adesso in downtown Olympia serves classic Mediterranean fare like moussaka along with delectable Italian dishes and, of course, a fine selection of wine.
Though it may seem too good to be true, this Escape is no myth. It's also not immortal, so snap it up while you can.
"We stayed in one of the newly remodeled rooms. Wow! Very nicely done with a touch of first-class elegance. The bed was comfortable, the big flat-screen television was exceptional, and the bathroom with soft towels and robes was a nice touch."-- TripAdvisor

COLORADO SPRINGS — Bob Crouse drove away from the Colorado Springs police annex on East Rio Grande Street on Friday afternoon with a huge smile on his face and his hand raised in victory.
A crowd of about two dozen medical-marijuana supporters cheered loudly moments after police returned 60 pounds of now-wilted cannabis once worth an estimated $300,000 to the leukemia patient.
"Today I'm so very grateful and so very thankful," said Crouse, with tears in his eyes. "We want all patients to have access to their medicine. That's what this is all about."
Crouse was acquitted in June of drug charges and has been fighting the 4th Judicial District attorney's office and police ever since to have the cannabis returned. Police confiscated 55 plants and 6 pounds of refined marijuana from Crouse's home in May 2011.
The marijuana was returned wrapped in clear plastic and sealed brown paper bags. Crouse and his attorney Clifton Black said they were going to take the pot to a "secured facility" to have it examined and determine how much is still usable.
Black said any damage to the cannabis "sets up the possibility that there may be some civil liability for the city."
When asked if he will file a lawsuit against Colorado Springs, Crouse said, "I certainly don't want to sue the city, for heaven's sake."

The Russian connection: See all our coverage | Read about our investigation
On May 23, 2011, the US Supreme Court ruled that conditions in California's prisons violated the constitutional ban on "cruel and unusual punishment" and affirmed a lower court's order that the state drastically reduce its inmate population.
Writing on behalf of the court's five-vote majority, Justice Anthony Kennedy noted that this unprecedented measure had become the only way to remedy the "serious" and "uncorrected" constitutional violations against inmates in the state's correctional facilities, particularly the sick and mentally ill. "For years the medical and mental health care provided by California's prisons has fallen short of minimum constitutional requirements and has failed to meet prisoners' basic health needs. Needless suffering and death have been the well-documented result," he wrote. "Short term gains in the provision of care have been eroded by the long-term effects of severe and pervasive overcrowding." His decision included vivid examples of the problem, from open dorms so packed they can't be effectively monitored, to suicidal inmates "held for prolonged periods in telephone-booth sized cages without toilets."
More than 162,000 inmates currently reside in California's prison system. For years, many facilities have held nearly twice the number of prisoners they were built for. As James Sterngold wrote in an article about the overcrowded system for Mother Jones in 2008:
More than 16,000 prisoners sleep on what are known as "ugly beds"—extra bunks stuffed into cells, gyms, day rooms, and hallways. [Governor Arnold] Schwarzenegger has referred to the system as a "powder keg"; in October 2006, he declared a state of emergency, citing the effects of overcrowding—electrical blackouts, sewage spills, dozens of riots, and more than 1,600 attacks on prison guards in the previous year. Last year, a nonpartisan state oversight agency declared the prison system to be "in a tailspin that threatens public safety and raises the risk of fiscal disaster."
The photographs below provide a glimpse of those extreme conditions: the E-beds (emergency beds) stacked in gyms and dayrooms, the tiny holding cells for mentally ill inmates. All of these photos, some of which were taken by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, were entered as evidence in the California prison case. Three of them (No. 2, No. 3, and the second to last), were appended to the Supreme Court's majority opinion, suggesting that they had played a role in convincing Kennedy and four other justices to endorse the plan to downsize the state's prisoner population.

Uh oh: Many younger consumers won't get subsidies in ObamaCare exchanges
posted at 1:11 pm on November 25, 2013 by Ed Morrissey
If CNN's analysis is correct, then the website is the least of the White House's worries on ObamaCare. The administration, specifically Kathleen Sebelius, insisted that anyone earning less than 400% of poverty level would qualify for subsidies on the exchanges, but that may not actually be true. Thanks to a complicated formula for subsidies, the system will exclude many lower-income younger consumers from subsidies … the very people the ObamaCare program needs to sign up to keep the system from collapsing (via NewsAlert):
But a CNN analysis shows that in the largest city in nearly every state, many low-income younger Americans won't get any subsidy at all. Administration officials said the reason so many Americans won't receive a subsidy is that the cost of insurance is lower than the government initially expected. Subsidies are calculated using a complicated formula based on the cost of insurance premiums, which can vary drastically from state to state, and even county to county.
That doesn't change the fact that in Chicago, a 27-year old will receive no subsidy to help offset premiums of more than $165 a month if he makes more than $27,400 a year.
In Portland, Oregon, subsidies for individuals making just $28,725 a year phase out for those younger than 35 years old.
CNN compares this to testimony from Sebelius in April, in which she told Congress that anyone under the 400% of poverty level line would qualify for federal subsidies in the exchanges:
Back in April, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius told a congressional subcommittee that any individual making under that $45,960 threshold — or four times the poverty level of $11,490 for an individual — would qualify for "an upfront tax subsidy."
"Somebody who's making $25,500 would definitely qualify for a subsidy if he or she is purchasing coverage in the individual market," Sebelius added.
Despite the secretary's assurance, a 25-year-old living in Nashville, Tennessee, making $25,500 will not qualify for a subsidy, for example.
The trigger on this is the premium price for a qualifying "bronze" plan in the exchange for the consumer. If the premium does not go over a certain percentage of income, then the formula produces a zero for the calculated subsidy. The problem for these consumers is that the baseline plans still cost more than their previous options, and have large deductibles to boot. That sets the incentives for younger consumers to bail out of the system, paying the fine and only signing up for insurance after a catastrophic event, which they cannot be denied under the new law.
That will mean disaster for the ObamaCare system, as CNN notes in this video:
If the subsidies don't show up, neither will these consumers. They'd be better off paying retail, which thanks to the enormous deductibles in these comprehensive plans they'd have to do anyway, rather than premiums and retail for provider services. And this is yet another point on which the administration has been less than honest with the very people who backed them through two successive presidential elections.

Scientists would do well to pick up some tools widely used in the software industry
Greg Wilson
When I first started doing computational science in 1986, a new generation of fast, cheap chips had just ushered in the current era of low-cost supercomputers, in which multiple processors work in parallel on a single problem. Suddenly, it seemed as though everyone who took number crunching seriously was rewriting his or her software to take advantage of these new machines. Sure, it hurt—the compilers that translated programs to run on parallel computers were flaky, debugging tools were nonexistent, and thinking about how to solve problems in parallel was often like trying to solve a thousand crossword puzzles at once—but the potential payoff seemed enormous. Many investigators were positive that within a few years, computer modeling would let scientists investigate a whole range of phenomena that were too big, too small, too fast, too slow, too dangerous or too complicated to examine in the lab or to analyze with pencil and paper.
But by the mid-1990s, I had a nagging feeling that something was wrong. For every successful simulation of global climate, there were a dozen or more groups struggling just to get their program to run. Their work was never quite ready to showcase at conferences or on the cover of their local supercomputing center's newsletter. Many struggled on for months or years, tweaking and tinkering until their code did something more interesting than grinding to a halt or dividing by zero. For some reason, getting to computational heaven was taking a lot longer than expected.
I therefore started asking scientists how they wrote their programs. The answers were sobering. Whereas a few knew more than most of the commercial software developers I'd worked with, the overwhelming majority were still using ancient text editors like Vi and Notepad, sharing files with colleagues by emailing them around and testing by, well, actually, not testing their programs systematically at all.
I finally asked a friend who was pursuing a doctorate in particle physics why he insisted on doing everything the hard way. Why not use an integrated development environment with a symbolic debugger? Why not write unit tests? Why not use a version-control system? His answer was, "What's a version-control system?"
A version-control system, I explained, is a piece of software that monitors changes to files—programs, Web pages, grant proposals and pretty much anything else. It works like the "undo" button on your favorite editor: At any point, you can go back to an older version of the file or see the differences between the way the file was then and the way it is now. You can also determine who else has edited the file or find conflicts between their changes and the ones you've just made. Version control is as fundamental to programming as accurate notes about lab procedures are to experimental science. It's what lets you say, "This is how I produced these results," rather than, "Um, I think we were using the new algorithm for that graph—I mean, the old new algorithm, not the new new algorithm."
My friend was intelligent and intimately familiar with the problems of writing large programs—he had inherited more than 100,000 lines of computer code and had already added 20,000 more. Discovering that he didn't even know what version control meant was like finding a chemist who didn't realize she needed to clean her test tubes between experiments. It wasn't a happy conversation for him either. Halfway through my explanation, he sighed and said, "Couldn't you have told me this three years ago?"

Canadian Cottage Country: The New Hamptons?
There are tell-tale signs of a cottage country lifestyle coup: martini glasses have taken a backseat to mason jars and humanity has reached a collective consensus that we will settle for nothing less than all-Navajo everything (evidence: Pendleton renaissance).

ZPL: New Parallel Language Available
[ This article contributed by Brad Chamberlain of the ZPL Group at the University of Washington. Brad and his colleagues have been quite active on ARSC's MPP platforms, and we wish to congratulate them on this release. ]
ZPL is a portable array-based data parallel language that has been developed at the University of Washington over the past several years.
The official release of ZPL was announced earlier this month, making the ZPL compiler and runtime libraries publicly available for the first time. It runs on a number of parallel and sequential platforms, including the Cray T3D and T3E. Most of ZPL's Cray implementation was done at ARSC, and ARSC users are encouraged to try the ZPL installations on denali and yukon. See the information at the end of this article.
The goal of the ZPL group is to provide an elegant, high-level programming language without sacrificing performance, scalability, or portability. This is achieved by supplying users with a number of intuitive high-level operators and constructs that make it easy to evaluate how well programs will run in parallel. These features allow programmers to code at a natural level and to qualitatively compare the performance of different implementation choices. The language also has the benefit of unambiguously identifying parallel operations to the compiler, allowing it to make informed optimization decisions.
Although most programmers don't relish the idea of learning a new language, those with scientific computing experience typically become comfortable with ZPL's Modula-based syntax within a few hours, and find that it provides a very expressive means for coding their applications. During its development, ZPL has been used for applications in Astronomy, Biology, Civil Engineering, Statistics, and Molecular Dynamics.
The following code fragment is taken from a ZPL program that implements a simple 4-point Jacobi iteration. Some declarations and initializations are omitted for the sake of brevity -- see the ZPL web page for the full example.
region R = [1..N,1..N]; -- declare the problem size var A,Temp:[R] double; -- declare two double arrays direction north = [-1, 0]; -- declare vector offsets south = [ 1, 0]; east = [ 0,-1]; west = [ 0, 1]; [R] repeat Temp := (A@north + A@south + A@east + A@west)/4; diff := max<< fabs(A-Temp); A := Temp; until (diff < epsilon);
The first lines declare a region R that describes the problem size, two arrays of doubles whose sizes are defined by R, and four offset vectors. The program then repeatedly computes over the region, replacing each array value with the average of its four nearest neighbors. When the largest change in values is less than the constant epsilon, the computation ends.
ZPL achieves its portability by compiling programs to an ANSI C representation. This code is then compiled using the target machine's native C compiler and linked with machine-specific runtime libraries. Porting ZPL to a new platform therefore consists of implementing the runtime libraries for that machine. At this point, ZPL has been ported to Cray's SHMEM interface as well as the Intel Paragon, the IBM SP2, the SGI Power Challenge, sequential UNIX workstations, and platforms supporting the PVM 3.3 and MPI 1.1 standards. In addition, a multithreaded implementation of ZPL is currently in the works.
ZPL's performance has been demonstrated to be competitive with hand-coded parallel C programs, yet ZPL programs are typically much easier to write and maintain. To aid in this effort, users can develop and debug their ZPL programs on sequential workstations and then run them on a parallel platform with just a single recompilation. Since ZPL is compiled to C as an intermediate form, sequential C and Fortran routines can be linked in and called effortlessly. ZPL generally outperforms HPF, and has the advantage of having a directive-free syntax and an unambiguous performance model.
ZPL achieves its good performance due both to machine-independent optimizations and its sensitivity to specific machine characteristics. Many of its machine-independent optimizations are devoted to reducing the costs of interprocessor communication by eliminating redundant communications, combining compatible communications into a single message, and overlapping communication and computation. A paper evaluating the effects of these optimizations in ZPL will be presented at ICPP this August.
Another of ZPL's most important optimizations is its aggressive use of array contraction -- a transformation that reduces the memory requirements of the temporary array variables that are often involved when programming in array languages. This benefits a program's temporal and spatial locality, reducing contention in the cache.
ZPL's sensitivity to machine-specific characteristics is achieved using the Ironman principle, which is the topic of a paper to be presented at LCPC this August. The Ironman philosophy was actually developed at ARSC out of necessity when ZPL was first being ported to denali in 1994. At that time, the ZPL compiler implemented all interprocessor communication in terms of a simple Send/Receive message passing model. When the port to denali began, its implementors realized that to get the best performance possible, they would need to use Cray's SHMEM routines to implement the communication routines. However, due to the paradigm skew between message passing and an optimal usage of SHMEM, the implementation could not be done without significant performance degradation.
This led to the development of Ironman, a scheme in which the compiler no longer relies on a specific data transfer paradigm. Instead, it annotates its output code with calls that indicate where data transfer is legal and may be required. On each platform, these calls are either ignored or implemented in terms of the machine's optimal data transfer paradigm, allowing the compiler to achieve good communication performance without making assumptions about the target machine. This allowed the ZPL compiler to make good use of the SHMEM library, and led to improvements in execution time of up to 65% for pure communication-oriented microbenchmarks and up to 14% in benchmark applications (as compared with communication done using PVM or MPI).
Users are invited to visit the ZPL home page at:
to learn more about the language, to find out how to use the installations at ARSC, or to install it on their personal workstation. Further questions about the language should be directed to:
The ZPL group would like to thank ARSC for the use of their resources, and for their continually helpful technical support.
Dr. Ramesh Agarwal to Lecture at UAF
ARSC, UAF (The University of Alaska, Fairbanks) , and the IEEE Electron Devices Society are hosting Dr. Ramesh Agarwal for the following series of three seminars, to be held in Fairbanks on August 13th and 14th:
- "Towards Teraflop Architectures, Algorithms and Applications"
- "General Aviation - Past, Present, and Future"
- "Application of CFD Based Approach to Electromagnetics and Semiconductor Device Simulation"
Dr. Agarwal is the Bloomfield Distinguished Professor in the Department of Aerospace Engineering and Executive Director of the National Institute for Aviation Research at Wichita State University. He is also the Director of the Aircraft Design and Manufacturing Research Center and a Senior Fellow at the National Institute for Aviation Research at Wichita State University.
From 1978-1994, he was the Program Director and McDonnell Douglas Fellow at McDonnell Douglas Aerospace in St. Louis, Missouri.
Dr. Agarwal has done pioneering work in Computational Fluid Dynamics, Computational Acoustics, Computational Electromagnetics, and Multidisciplinary Design and Optimization. He has a Ph.D. from Stanford University. He is a Fellow of the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics, American Society of Mechanical Engineers, and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. He has been the recipient of many awards for his technical contributions.
The final schedule will be available from the ARSC web site (www.arsc.edu) and will be announced in this newsletter. Synopses of Ramesh's three seminars follow:
Towards Teraflop Architectures, Algorithms and Applications
During the past decade, a large number of parallel computers have been commercially built worldwide using SIMD or MIMD (both shared and distributed memory) architectural routes to parallelism. However, they have been limited to a peak performance of at most a few gigaflops.
Very recently, new systems have been built which offer the promise of teraflow scalability to solve the so called "Grand Challenge Problems." The Cray T3E, IBM SP2, Convex Exemplar SPP1000, Intel Paragon XP/S, KSR-2, and CM5 are some of the machines which fall into this category. This lecture will review these architectures and their potential for solving large scale problems.
General Aviation - Past, Present, and Future
A brief history of General Aviation in the U.S. will be presented. Its present status and future prospects will be reviewed. The particular focus of this presentation will be on the recently created government/industry/university partnership to revitalize general aviation known as AGATE (Advanced General Aviation Transport Experiments).
The consortium is designed to accelerate the processes for bringing new technologies from the experimental research stage to fully certified production status. Successes have already been demonstrated in the use of advanced satellite GPS-based "highway in the sky navigation" for air traffic control at the 1996 International Olympic Games, and in demonstrations of greatly simplified single power level control for piston engines.
Application of CFD Based Approach to Electromagnetics and Semiconductor Device Simulation
It is shown that many of the well-known formulations for semi-conductor device simulation, namely the drift-diffusion model, the hydrodynamic model, and the energy transport model which are the moments of the Boltzmann equation for a Maxwellian or non-Maxwellian distribution, can be recast as a set of first-order partial differential equations in conservation law form. As a consequence, the well-developed CFD grid-generation techniques and solution algorithms can be applied for the numerical solution of these equations. The author has pioneered this emerging application of CFD technology to device simulation.
ARSC T3E queue structure adjusted slightly
The m_64pe_4h queue on yukon now starts at 18:00 and stops at 03:00. We are in a gradual process of tuning the queues: please send e-mail to firstname.lastname@example.com with comments.
MPT Upgrade on ARSC T3E
MPT ("message passing toolkit") version 126.96.36.199 is now available on yukon. It fixes known problems with MPI_CHARACTER and MPI_SHORT.
MPI users are encouraged to try this release.
Switching Modules -- Quick Review
Use the UNICOS module command to add the latest compiler, toolkit, or library release to your programming environment. You must do this manually, as ARSC installs upgrades frequently (for your use) but rarely adds them to the default environment as soon as installed.
The following statement changes the MPT software accessed when you execute the f90 command from mpt (the default) to mpt.188.8.131.52: module switch mpt mpt.220.127.116.11.
To restore the default version: "module switch mpt.18.104.22.168 mpt". To use only the latest version of all PE components: "module switch PrgEnv PrgEnv.new". To determine which versions of all packages you are currently using: "module list". To list all versions available at ARSC, and determine which versions are defined as defaults, ARSC provides the script: "/usr/local/bin/PEvers".
Here is part of the output of PEvers, as run on July 25 on yukon:
yukon$ /usr/local/bin/PEvers The following Programming Environment Packages are installed: ============================================================= /opt/ctl/cf90 126.96.36.199 18.104.22.168 The current default version is //opt/ctl/cf90/126.96.36.199. ============================================================= [...snip...] ============================================================= /opt/ctl/mpt 18.104.22.168 184.108.40.206 The current default version is 126.96.36.199. ============================================================= [...snip...]
As shown, the MPT default points to version 126.96.36.199. To maintain a stable default computing environment, ARSC does not adjust the defaults frequently. However, if you wish, we encourage you to test the latest and greatest versions, which is a simple matter using the module command.
For more information, see:
- All CRI documents in /opt/ctl/doc
- T3D Newsletter 110 (module command introduced)
- T3E Newsletter 116 (PEvers utility introduced via Quick-Tip Q&A)

HPF_CRAFT included in PGHPF 2.3 for the T3E
[ NAS Parallel Benchmark results for PGHPF available at: http://www.pgroup.com/npb_results.html]
The following is a portion of the PGI press release from:
Cray Research and The Portland Group (PGI) Release HPF_CRAFT Programming Model As Part Of New PGHPF™ 2.3 Compiler ----------------------------------------------------------------- Eagan, MN, July 15, 1997 - Cray Research and The Portland Group (PGI) announced today that HPF_CRAFT will be included in the new PGHPF 2.3 compiler version designed for the CRAY T3E line of supercomputers. HPF_CRAFT is an open, standards-based, parallel-programming model that provides more sophisticated capabilities for the CRAY T3E system. It builds on CRAFT, an earlier proprietary programming model that was used on the CRAY T3D supercomputer, the predecessor to the CRAY T3E series. HPF_CRAFT allows programmers to take advantage of the unique scalability of the CRAY T3E system, a massively parallel supercomputer which scales to thousands of processors. As part of a development agreement, Cray Research and PGI defined HPF_CRAFT and secured its acceptance as a recognized extension of the industry-standard High-Performance Fortran (HPF-2) language. This approach delivers the unique features of CRAFT within the context of a portable, standard language.
Quick-Tip Q & A
A: {{ When "pasting" into a vi window, why might you get an additional indentation on each subsequent line (like this)? }} # Thanks to several people who responded. Here is one response: You may have set "autoindent". You can disable it with ":set noai" You can re-set it with ":set ai". # Personally, I like vi's autoindent feature (except when pasting # text). I have defined two maps in my .exrc file that let me switch # it on and off using '=' and '_': map _ :set noautoindent ^M map = :set autoindent ^M # (the ^M reflects the RETURN and is created by hitting CTRL-V # and then <ENTER>): # Here is another reader response, attacking a more general problem: I have seen this problem occuring on the command line due to telnetd assuming that certain external processing is being carried out. This is sometimes not the case and you have to explicitly define this to avoid the indentation problems that are seen. Use the stty -extproc command in your .profile to resolve this. Mainly see this problem in UNICOS windows, not sure if this is relevant if copying between other types. Q: If you have a few heavily used directories and "cd" back and forth between them often, what shortcut will save you from typing the entire path each time? User Armadillov, for instance, wants to simplify the following: yukon$ cd /tmp/armadill/meltdown/data/1997_06/1 yukon$ run_em yukon$ cd ~/meltdown/results/1997 yukon$ store_em yukon$ cd /tmp/armadill/meltdown/data/1997_06/2 yukon$ run_em yukon$ cd ~/meltdown/programs/src yukon$ make -f em yukon$ cd /tmp/armadill/meltdown/data/1997_06/2 yukon$ run_em ; mailx bonnie < etcetera

Excerpt: "It may not seem logical, but newly hired Jacksonville Jaguars general manager David Caldwell just did more to help Tim Tebow's career than anyone Tebow has been around in his three NFL seasons. Caldwell, in a few simple words, was completely forthright about Tebow's lack of quarterbacking skill.
On Thursday, when Caldwell was introduced to the Jacksonville media, he was asked the elephant-in-the-room question about Tebow, who currently is on the New York Jets' roster. Would Caldwell be willing to bring Tebow home to Jacksonville, where he starred in high school and then traveled just down the road to Gainesville to help the University of Florida win two national championships?
"I can't imagine a scenario where he would be a Jacksonville Jaguar," Caldwell said.
A reporter, apparently dumbfounded by the directness of the response, even asked Caldwell to repeat that quote and Caldwell did.
Now all of this will lead to plenty of sarcastic responses from Tebow critics, including snarky remarks about how Tebow's career is over. It will get just as many responses from Tebowmaniacs who believe the NFL is somehow out to embarrass their hero because of his Christian values.Fact is, Caldwell just did Tebow a favor by conveying what so many others – including Rex Ryan, most recently – have refused to say: the way Tebow plays quarterback right now doesn't work in the NFL."

For a long time North Americans were oblivious to a problem taking place in geographically isolated places. The television media thus neglected to bring the global climate change message closer to home, and in the process seem to have disengaged people emotionally from the issue. But now climate change is knocking on our doorsteps.

You will use less of this sugar if you are used to using the more finely granulated and more refined white sugar so be prepared to adjust recipes so they don't turn out too sweet. Wholesome Sweeteners quality is wonderful. I have been buying their sugars for many years now. You can get this kind of sugar for a better value, but if Fair Trade Certified means something to you, this is great.

text: This hive consists of a single deep with 3 shallow supers. I went through most of it today and found zero brood except for a few capped drone cells. The drone cells are in a good pattern and are full sized cells, not the worker sized drone cells that laying workers lay. Also, the bees are tearing down the drone cells and dragging the pupa outside the hive. There are also dead drones laying about outside the hive. There is plenty of honey and pollen in the three shallows and the deep is mostly empty except for nectar being back-filled in some frames. The bees are quiet and non-aggressive. There are lots of bees in the hive. I looked for the queen but didn't see her but that really isn't unusual for me. I know that there is a slow down on laying this time of year but I was surprised to find no brood at all. Do you think I am queenless?
