Beyonce: Budding Linguist?
From "Beyoncé's Boost," The Sunday Times, Perth, Australia, 9 March 2006, by Justine Parker and wires:
Bootylicious, the term coined by the former Destiny's Child star for her own dangerous curves - and made famous by the hit single of the same name - will reportedly be added to the dictionary.
But the Naughty Girl singer is not too impressed by her newfound status as a wordsmith.
"I'm not very proud of that. It's in the dictionary - it's crazy," she said to Britain's TV Hits magazine.
The 24-year-old, who is famous for her hot hip-shaking in film clips for songs such as Crazy In Love, says she would have stuck it out and put more thought into the term if she had known it would be recorded in the lexicon.
"I wrote the song, but I wish there was another word I could have come up with if I was going to have a word in the dictionary," she said to the pop mag.
The budding linguist, who is dating rap king Jay-Z, hasn't yet had a chance to see if the dictionary's definition is by the book, but she has offered her own spin on the word.
"I don't know what it says in the dictionary but my definition is beautiful, bountiful and bounce-able," she said.
Stories about Beyoncé Knowles's coining of bootylicious have been appearing in English-language newspapers around the world of late. Now, I know better than to expect deep, linguistic scholarship from news reporters who write about pop stars and their music. But there are so many things wrong with the articles like the one quoted above that I just have to speak up.
First, Ms. Knowles did not coin the term bootylicious.
Second, it is not a recent addition to the Oxford English Dictionary, although it may be a recent addition to other dictionaries.
Third, there is no such thing as an "official" word.
Fourth, what in the heck is "the dictionary", in some articles given as "the English dictionary"?
And fifth, there is rampant plagiarism here as these stories all contain virtually the same wording, but no credit to a wire service or other source is given (although some of the stories, like the one quoted here, credit unspecified "wires").
And I won't even bother to complain about the description of Ms. Knowles as a "budding linguist." That's just the writer being playful. Besides, the earliest versions of the story use the term "stunning star" instead, with the change to "budding linguist" happening in the last week or so.
Did Beyoncé coin bootylicious? The answer is no, as any reporter who spent 30 seconds looking up the term in the online OED would find out. The Destiny's Child single of that name came out in 2001, but the term, meaning sexually attractive, especially having an attractive rump, has been in use since at least 1994. The earliest citation is the OED is from the Lewiston, (Idaho) Morning Tribune from 17 January of that year. Now, by the time a hip-hop term appears in an Idaho newspaper, it must be pretty mainstream. It is all but certain that the term was in widespread use well before 1994. Undoubtedly, Beyoncé's song helped popularize the term, but there is no way she invented it. There is even earlier sense of bootylicious, meaning bad or weak, dating to at least 1992. And the root word booty, meaning sex, dates back to the 1920s.
Now it's common for people to mistake the first citation in a dictionary for a term's coinage. Rarely is the earliest citation the first use of a term. Rather, it's the first use that the lexicographers could find. The OED, for example, includes 85 first citations from Mark Twain, including lunkhead (Huckleberry Finn, 1884), Chinawoman (Innocents at Home, 1872), reminiscing (Autobiography, before 1910), and mossbacked (Letters, 1889). Twain was probably not the first to use any of these words. Instead, he is simply (one of) the first significant writers to use the words, but because he is Mark Twain, his uses of the terms have survived and come to the attention of lexicographers. There were countless non-famous people who used these words before Twain. Even if the first citation in the OED had been from the Beyoncé song, it would still probably not be her invention.
So has bootylicious been recently added to "the dictionary"? The OED has included it since September 2004. Why news reports are just getting around to noticing it now is a bit of a mystery. Perhaps it has recently been added to another dictionary. But if that's the case, the articles' use of "the dictionary" is maddeningly unspecific.
Which brings me to my third and fourth complaints. Now, I don't expect newspaper reporters, especially those that write articles about Ms. Knowles, and their editors to be familiar with the ins and outs of linguistics. But it is not too much to expect that those who make a living by writing have a basic knowledge of the fundamental tools of the trade. To wit, what a dictionary is and how to use it.
First there was the aforementioned failure to do a basic fact check. Now, there is a claim that there is some sort of "official" list of approved English words. Reporters should know this is not the case without even asking. And there is the failure to cite which dictionary has recently added the term. Any professional writer should be aware that there are many different dictionaries and you a good writer is specific when referring to one. At least they didn't use the term Webster's. (For those new to the newsletter, the term Webster's is not trademarked and anyone is free to call their dictionary Webster's. Many different dictionaries do. Some, like Merriam-Webster are excellent sources; others are less so. Referring to Webster's is utterly meaningless.)
Finally, there is the plagiarism in these articles. This is what I find most astounding. How any professional news organization could tolerate this is just amazing. Doesn't anyone remember Jayson Blair and Stephen Glass? Those scandals weren't that long ago.
Now, I'm sure you're saying "calm down, Dave; it's just a silly little article about a pop star and a slang term." On one level that is true. The story and its errors are insignificant. But it is an indicator of a much deeper problem that runs to the heart of edited journalismprofessionalism and editorial review.
Newspaper readership is declining and all sorts of professional news organizations are wondering how to deal with the competition from bloggers and other citizen journalists. The problem is that amateur writers, working alone and from home (and often in their pajamas) are turning out news stories that are every bit as good as those coming from professional news organizations. (And often betterthe pajamahadeen, at least, are usually scrupulous about citing their sources.)
If professional journalism is to survive, it must rely on its one advantageeditors. Fact checking, multiple (preferably non-anonymous) sources, and rigid adherence to editorial standards are a must, even in silly little stories about pop stars and slang. If one can't trust your local newspaper to get basic facts right, why pay for it? One might as well rely on that anonymous person on the internetthey're just as likely as the newspaper to be right.

Tonight – New Year's Eve – look up for the brightest star in the sky, Sirius, in the constellation Canis Major. This star is up in the evening every year at this time, and – from all parts of Earth (except those far-southern realms in continuous daylight now) – Sirius is easy to identify. December 31 is a special night, the end of a calendar year. And it's a special night for Sirius, too. This star's official midnight culmination – when it's highest in the sky at midnight – comes only once every year. And tonight's the night.
Sirius will be out for most of the night. But before you look it, on the eve of the New Year, look for the waxing crescent moon beneath the planets Venus and Mars at nightfall.
Live by the moon! EarthSky moon calendar for 2017
This view of the moon and planets are special to this year, but Sirius' presence as the New Year's star is a yearly event. The New Year always begins with Sirius' culmination at the midnight hour. It's a fun sky event to watch for, if you happen to be outside at midnight on this night.
From the Northern Hemisphere … look toward the south, and you'll easily notice Sirius shining there at around midnight.
From the Southern Hemisphere … look overhead or high in the north at around midnight.
This star is so bright that you might notice it twinkling fiercely, especially from northerly latitudes, where the star stays closer to the horizon.
You might even see it flashing different colors – just hints of colors from red to blue – like the celestial counterpart to an earthly diamond.
By the way, by midnight, we mean the middle of the night, midway between sunset and sunrise.
The midnight culmination of Sirius by the clock may be off by as much as one-half hour or so, depending on how far east or west you live from the meridian that governs your time zone.
Transit (midnight culmination) times for Sirius in your sky
Bottom line: If you're celebrating the New Year tonight, and you happen to gaze up at the sky, look for Sirius – and take a moment to celebrate the sky's brightest star.

Brothers Akmal and Arshad Waheed were convicted in March 2005 of sheltering militants and raising funds for them.
Defence lawyer Ilyas Khan said the High Court of Sindh had suspended the verdict of an anti-terrorist court.
The pair have now been detained for 30 days under public order laws by the Sindh provincial government, the BBC's Idrees Bakhtiar in Karachi says.
Mr Khan said the prosecution had "miserably failed" to prove charges against his clients.
Appeal possible
Iqtidar Ali Hashmi, a public prosecutor, said the government could appeal against the court's decision.
"We are reviewing the court order and will take a decision on filing an appeal very soon," Mr Hashmi said.
The brothers were originally held following the arrest of militants from a group called Jundallah, after an assassination attempt on a senior Pakistani general.
They were accused of providing support to al-Qaeda followers, as well as giving medical aid to a wounded militant.
"Our only sin was that we provided medical relief to the war-stricken Afghans. We have no regrets. We are proud," Dr Akmal Waheed told reporters at the time of his sentencing.
"What we did was an obligation of our professional duties," AFP news agency quoted him saying.
"We are doctors and we are duty bound to provide medical help to injured people."

December, 1999
The current contract with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins ends
on December 3 1, 2000. In order to evaluate other publishing options,
the ILAE notified LW&W that it would send a Request for Proposal
(RFP) to all major publishers of scientific, especially neuroscience,
journals. The League retained Dr. Morna Conway as a publishing consultant
to develop the RFP and evaluate the responses. Following an initial
review of 16 proposals, additional information was obtained from
several publishers, and a short list of four finalists was developed.
The ILAE's Executive Committee will review the final submissions
of this small group with Dr. Conway at its meeting on December 6th,
1999 in Orlando and determine how to proceed. Both the League's
Executive and the Editor-in-Chief wish to acknowledge formally how
supportive and forthcoming LW&W has been during this process.
Editorial Board
On December 31, 1999, eight members of the Editorial Board completed
their terms. They are: Jean Aicardi (UK), Peter Camfield (Canada),
Bernardo Dalla Bernadina (Italy), Christian Elger (Germany), Peter
B.C. Fenwick (UK), John G.R. Jeffreys (UK), Marilyn Jones-Gotman
(Canada), and Charles Polkey (UK). To all of these, my heartfelt
thanks for hard work and wise advice.
Their replacements, effective January 1, 2000, are: Meir Bialer
(Israel), Carol Camfield (Canada), Douglas A. Coulter (USA), Renzo
Guerrini (UK), Rebecca Rausch (USA), JWAS Sander (UK), Eva Bettina
Schmitz (Germany), Herman Stefan (Germany), Ortrud K. Steinlein
(Germany), Federico Vigevano (Italy), Claude G. Wasterlain (USA)
and Peter D. Williamson (USA). I look forward to working with these
eminent experts, and I welcome them to the Joumal's Editorial Board.
Finally, the following individuals have agreed to serve an additional
term: Joan K. Austin (USA), Arturo Carpio (Ecuador), Bruce Hermann
(USA), Daniel Lowenstein (USA), Charles E. Ribak (USA), Mitsumoto
Sato (Japan), Masakazu Seino (Japan), and Harry Vinters (USA). 1
appreciate the additional commitment and burden that these busy
persons have agreed to accept.
Status of Manuscripts
During the 12 month period ending November 30, 1999, Epilepsia
published 250 articles, of which 213 were full-length Research Reports,
38 were Brief Communications, one was a rapid communication, three
were invited and peer-critiqued reviews ("Progress in Epilepsy
Research"), and one was an Editorial Commentary. This represents
an acceptance rate of 35 %. In addition, we published one ILAE Commission
Report and five special articles:
- Lowenstein DH, Bleck T, Macdonald RL. "It's time to revise
the definition of status epilepticus"
- Jilek-Aall L. "Morbus sacer in Africa: some religious aspects
of epilepsy in traditional cultures"
- French J, Smith M, Faught E, Brown L. "Practice advisory:
The use of felbamate in the treatment of patients with intractable
- Report of the Quality Standards Subcommittee of the American
Academy of Neurology and the American Epilepsy Society" Elferink
JGR. "Epilepsy and its treatment in the ancient cultures of
- Kerson F, Schwaber T, Kerson LA. "The depiction of seizures
in film"
The geographic origin of published research reports is given in
Appendix A.
The journal also regularly published announcements, a calendar,
book reviews, letters to the editor, and several messages from the
Under the current contract with Lippincott Williams & Wilkins,
each issue is limited to 112 editorial pages. This includes the
Table of Contents, Letters to the Editor, Calendar, and Announcements.
ILAE reports are published as extra pages. The Editorial Office
processed 707 manuscripts between December 1, 1998 and November
30, 1999. This represents a 28 % increase over the previous year.
Last year, the acceptance rate was only 24%, a figure that seemed
too restrictive, especially because the number of editorial pages
had not risen to accommodate the steady rise in manuscripts submitted.
This year, LWW generously provided additional pages, including two
"double issues." As a result, we were able to publish
35 % of submitted manuscripts, the same percentage as in 1994 and
1995. A new contract will increase the number of editorial pages
substantially. Revisions ranging from minor to extensive are required
in 99% of accepted manuscripts. Average initial review time averages
3 to 6 weeks, but delinquent reviewers occasionally take up to three
months despite repeated prodding by Telephone, facsimile, and e-mail.
I am, however, pleased to report that the number of delinquent reviewers
has been reduced substantially in the last year; however, it is
still excessive. Authors take from 2 weeks to 9 months to revise
manuscripts and return them to the Editorial Office. Average time
from acceptance of a manuscript to publication is 5.5 - 6 months.
Status of Supplements
The following 11 supplements were published in 1999 under the
editorial direction of Dr. Robert S. Fisher, Supplements Editor:
1. Status epilepticus in adults and children: New developments
2. Abstracts, 23rd International Epilepsy Congress, Prague
3. Genetics and epilepsy (EUREPA Teaching Course), Warsaw
4. Electronic screen games and seizures
5. New antiepileptic drugs (AES annual course)
6. Neurontin: Expanding the clinical experience
7. Abstracts, AES Annual Meeting
8. Economic aspects of epilepsy: an overview (ILAE Commission)
9. Women's issues in epilepsy
10. Gabitril: Current aspects, future perspectives
11. Mood disturbances, psychoses and epilepsy
Dr. Fisher is also concerned that the Supplement Guidelines need
to be modified to deal prospectively with proposals for single-drug
issues. He is proposing that the current policy be modified
The total number of 1999 paid subscribers is 4,032 compared
to 4,067 in 1998. All ILAE chapters who are in good standing receive
complementary copies of the journal. In addition, selected medical
schools and hospitals in developing countries receive complementary
subscriptions. The total number of complimentary copies distributed
for each issue is 200.
ISI Science Citation Index
For 1998, the last year for which information is available,
Epilepsia's impact factor was 2.525, down from 2.928 in 1997.
The journal's standing fell from 14th place among 106 journals to
19th among 124 journals. The reasons for this are not known. The
Science Citation Index currently lists 124 journals under the heading
of "Clinical Neurology". Several of the new additions,
including three listed ahead of Epilepsia, represent transfers
from the "Neuroscience" category. Assignment of a journal
to one or the other categories is sometimes arbitrary.
The impact factor of a journal is a measure of the frequency with
which the "average article" in that journal has been cited
by other journals in the database over a particular time period.
Article citation rates are said to peak in the second year after
publication. Original articles, reviews and technical notes are
included in the analysis (as are articles included in a journal's
supplements). The 1998 data are based on citations in the two previous
years, 1996 and 1997. For any journal, the impact factor is calculated
by dividing the total number of citations the journal received in
the time period being analyzed by the number of articles published
in the journal during the same interval.
For purposes of comparison, the following may be of interest:
Journal 1998 Impact Factor (1997) Rank

Brain 5.952 (5.663) 2 (3)
Neurology 4.972 (4.526) 5 (5)

Seizure 0.790 (0.798) 76 (67)
Journal of Epilepsy 0.591 (0.645) 92 (75)
Epilepsia On-Line
LWW has implemented an electronic on-line version of Epilepsia,
which Dr. Engel and I have piloted and approved for general use
beginning on January 1, 2000. Current issues will be available at
the same time as hard copies are mailed out. Back issues for several
years will be available on line.
Financial Matters
The Treasurer of ILAE, Dr. Giuliano Avanzini, and the Management
Committee handle all financial and business matters related to Epilepsia.
The Editor-in-Chief submits a proposed budget each calendar year.
Epilepsia Digest
Epilepsia Digest, the quarterly condensed version of Epilepsia
for physicians in developing countries, is now in its fourth year.
The cost of printing and distribution has been met by Novartis India
in return for exclusive advertising rights for distributions of
the Digest in the subcontinent. It is regularly available
now in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka. Dr. Kale
is establishing to 1) increase the subscriber base; and 2) make
the Digest available to other countries outside the Indian
subcontinent. The ILAE has already identified and approved the countries
to which the journal should be sent, and a questionnaire was mailed
in the autumn to ILAE chapters in these developing countries to
identify a key individual who is willing to receive and distribute
copies of the Digest, the number of copies needed, and mechanism
of payment or support.
We have recommended to the ILAE that Novartis Basle be approached
regarding their interest in suppor-ting the Digest more widely
in developing countries. Novartis India has supported this proposal.
Major Objectives for 2000
1) Implement electronic version of Epilepsia
2) Continue to reduce the length of time for review turn-around
of manuscripts with a goal of no more than 21 days.
3) Expand the use of editorial commentaries and "Progress
in Epilepsy Research" invited articles as increased editorial
pages become available.
4) Continue high-quality "academic" supplements under
Dr. Fisher's direction.
We continue to receive substantial assistance and support from
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins Publishers, especially Marcia
Serepy, Ellice Gerber, and Jennifer Duhamel. I am grateful to the
efforts of our anonymous reviewers, and to the hard work of our
Book Review Editor, Eleanor Ben-Menachem, and our Supplements Editor,
Dr. Fisher. Finally, I cannot conclude without thanking my editorial
assistant, Ms. Shirley Susarchick, without whom the New York Editorial
Office could not function.

An exchange traded fund that invests in gold miner stocks dropped to a new 52-week low on Tuesday, falling along with bullion prices in March.
Miner stocks have trailed gold prices in recent years. Investors are walking away from gold producers and moving into bullion ETFs, pushing valuations to a record low versus the overall market, Matt Walcoff reports on Bloomberg.
"Buying gold and ETFs tracking bullion prices such as the $69 billion SPDR Gold Shares (NYSEArca: GLD) has become increasingly popular for investors as companies struggle to develop mines in remote locations and pay higher operating costs," according to the article. [Gold Miner ETFs May be Near Turning Point]
Within Canada's S&P/TSX Composite Index, gold shares lost 28% last week from their high last September. [Gold, Silver ETFs Tumble on Bernanke]
High operating costs are hitting miners where it counts. Agnico-Eagle Mines of Canada lost 43% since October. This was after the company wrote down $644.9 million due to "persistently high" operating costs. [The Case for Junior Gold Miner ETFs]
"Thus far into 2012, gold is up 6.12 % , while the miners have fallen an average of 3.41 %. Moreover, over the last six months some miners are down 14.66 %, while gold is down 8.36 %, reports ZVI Bar on Seeking Alpha.
Risks that mining companies face that do not affect gold prices are geographical risk, political risk, mine productivity issues, weather, fraud and management problems. However, going forward, any further rise in gold prices should prove favorable for mines. [Gold Miner ETFs Lose Their Luster]
Many gold mining share are selling off at a leveraged rate compared to the actual metal. If gold prices stay where they are at or rise, the gap between gold prices and miners should even out.

Chicago Bulls Bucket Boys
Chicago Bulls Bucket Boys
- Video: Bucket Boys in Action
- Also: Game Time at the UC | Luvabulls | Matadors
The Bucket Boys are an extremely talented group of teens from Chicago's South Side who have been putting their percussive skills on display throughout the city for years.
These kids were everywhere–along the Magnificent Mile and, during baseball season, outside of Wrigley Field–any spot where their performance would draw heavy crowds.
In the late summer of 2002, the Bucket Boys realized an opportunity of a lifetime.
"Discovered" on the streets of Chicago, a representative from the Bulls front office caught a performance while on a shopping trip in the city's Magnificent Mile.
Amazed by their energy and synchronization, he thought an on-court performance for a home game at the United Center would excite the Bulls' fan base–it resulted in a standing ovation and from there The Bucket Boys' popularity grew by leaps and bounds.
Fast-forward to 2004.
The Bucket Boys are still everywhere. Today, however, "everywhere" has expanded to include regular appearances at Bulls home games and functions, appearances with other NBA and NCAA teams, a spot with Hank Williams, Jr. on his "Are You Ready For Some Football?!" for ABC's Monday Night Football, a commercial spot with KFC and a shared halftime performance bill for the 2004 NBA All-Star Game with the likes of OutKast, Christina Aguilera and Beyonce.
Keep an ear out for the Bucket Boys.
These young men are going to be making a lot of noise–in more ways than one.

Tom DeLay has words for Rick Perry
Published 1:59 pm, Wednesday, August 20, 2014
SAN ANTONIO — Former U.S. House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, took to Fox News to relay some choice words for Gov. Rick Perry as the long-time governor faces down two felony charges.
"This is what they do, this is how they intimidate the elected officials in the state Legislature and the governor and around the state," DeLay said on Fox News' "Fox and Friends," Politico reported. "If you say anything bad or against this office, they'll go after you."
Perry has pleaded "not guilty" to two felony counts that he abused his office while trying to oust Democratic Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. He was indicted on one count of abuse of official capacity, a first-degree felony punishable by five to 99 years in prison, and one count of coercion of a public servant, a third-degree felony carrying a punishment of two to 10 years in prison.
DeLay is no stranger to legal trouble. In 2005, he was indicted on criminal conspiracy and money laundering following a complaint to Travis County's Public Integrity Unit, the same office that received a complaint that led to Perry's indictment.
It's also the office overseen by Lehmberg. Perry threatened to veto funding to the unit unless Lehmberg resigned after a drunken driving arrest. Lehmberg refused and Perry kept his promise.
News Channel
"I think it's totally unconstitutional; a locally elected district attorney has statewide jurisdiction, and it needs to be changed," DeLay said. "These people for 30 years have been doing this to their enemies."

Kenya: Chronicles of a "drought widow"
One of the saddest things about the current drought in the Horn of Africa is that it's destroying families. Men go off with livestock to find water — often traveling hundreds of miles for months at a time — or they drop out of pastoral life and flow into towns to look for odd jobs.
Kenya: Walking for 17 days
Kenya: Chatting with the richest man in town
Today the Mercy Corps team visited Elwak, a small town in the northeast corner of Kenya that lies only about eight kilometers from Somalia. I've spent a lot of time talking to the poorest of the poor about how their lives are impacted by the drought that's plaguing this region.
South Sudan: An amazing thing to witness
South Sudan is now the world's 193rd country, and the newest country in Africa. It is the first time since colonialism that Africans have drawn their own borders.

I'm a big fan of visiting markets, especially during Mercy Corps trips. It seems that even in the bleakest parts of the world, markets are vibrant, dynamic and often colorful places.

Dan Jemiolo: What kind of client generation are you looking for?
I suppose I must not have gotten around to telling Dan my horror stories of using WSDL in the early, early days of Jazz.The low point was when it once took me two working days to getthe code working again, after we made some slight changes to the WSDL.Of course, we were doing some evil, evil things, like parsing Javacode with a JDT jar in an ant task, and replacing generated codefrom the WSDL generation process. But still, code generation ofthis ilk leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
Also see Dare's issues with bananas.
The best code generation is no code generation.
And that's what we changed in Jazz. Because we already had complete control over thedata typing story (EMF),we had no problem generating the XML and JSON we wanted, completely dynamically, by reflecting over the dataused in our services. But we had to do something about the service methods themselves.
So we rolled our own client and server side stack for this.
We kept the notion of defining the operations in a web service in a Java interface,because this makes a lot of sense to do in Java. We can reflect over it to look at themethods and signatures. On the server, you can write a class to implement the interface,and that's your service implementation. The low-level server interface (ie, Servlet for Java)can figure out what service to invoke, and then call the service implementation reflectively.And on the client, you can use Proxyand friends to build an object which implements the interface by making the HTTP requeston your behalf.
(Quick aside to note that Jazz services are largely RPC styled, though there are some that are more RESTy flavored - stay tuned; they've caught the REST bug.I think the 'client library' or invocation style is largely independent of the architectural style, so I think everything I'm saying here completely holds forREST as well as RPC, and everything in between.)
By having the client and server work completely reflectively, all we had to do wasmake sure the data classes and service interfaces were the same (or at least compatible)between the client and server. Understand, "all we had to do" can be a problem; butat least we didn't have the generated code to deal with as well, nor did we have a separate build step for it that can be an agility killer.
It goes without saying that you can get by with a lot less configuration in such a situation. Reflection over Configuration. Don't Repeat Yourself.
Looking back on this, I think this was a great trade-off in the time expendedto build the stacks. For instance, we were able to tweak the system in variousways that would have been impossible to do with a code-gen built system. I suspect this is going to be the case for any medium- to large-scaled system built using a number of services. You can either lock yourself into a system under which you have very limited control, and spend your time working around it and fighting it, or you can write code customized to yourneeds and spend time tweaking as you need.
Let's get back to your original question, but tweak it a bit:What should we do to make it easier for people to build clients?
- Provide machine-readable descriptions of the service interfaces. Thesemachine-readable descriptions can be used to generate human-readable descriptions.For instance, instead of generating an HTML table for your Gregorio tables,how about generating JSON? Then you can generate an HTML file that uses someJavaScript to format the result in an HTML table. Perhaps you can use it,once you've built a little client invocation stack, to build some dynamic callable objects which serve as proxies to the server (if you're lucky enoughto be working in a dynamic language).
- Provide machine-readable descriptions of the data flowing over the wire.Not just the HTTP content, but query string parameters where appropriate.
If you can reflect on your service interfaces and data dynamically in the server,then you can generate all this meta-data reflectively as well.
Or if you really do want to do some code gen, and your client is able to loaddirectly runnable code from your server *cough* JavaScript *cough* then it's easy to imagine that you could code-gen a client library dynamically on the server as well. I suspect that's actually overkill though.

Billy Crystal Says, 'You Look Marvelous' [VIDEO]
Remember the "Fernando" character created by Billy Crystal back in the 1980s? His hilarious portrayal was based on a real actor, the late Fernando Lamas, a so-called "Latin Lover" movie star who appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson" one night, while Billy Crystal took notes.
The story goes that Fernando Lamas answered just about every question from Johnny with the word, "marvelous", inspiring the Fernando character and the song, "You Look Marvelous", which I remember playing on the radio as a DJ. Watch this hilarious video performance by Billy Crystal as Fernando, and "You Look Marvelous".

Watermelon Oreos Now On Sale At Target For A Limited Time
I was on board with the Birthday Cake Oreo. The Gingerbread Oreo was also a good idea. But until I try it, I think I'm still on the fence about Watermelon Oreos, the new limited-edition flavor Nabisco has introduced for the summer and exclusively at Target.
The Watermelon Oreo has two-toned creme (red and green, of course) sandwiched between a Golden Oreo cookie (thankfully, not the chocolate one), and sounds like a gimmick.
A blog reviewer named Junk Food Guy, who started out as skeptical as I was, was pleasantly surprised. He posted pictures and his favorable impression:
"I am, frankly, SHOCKED. These were good, REALLY good. They didn't have the overbearing sweetness that the Candy Corn Oreos or the Blizzard Oreos or even the Birthday Cake Oreos had. No, these were subtle in flavor, with just enough watermelon to make me smile. GOOD WORK, OREO."

Quickest Degrees with a Professional Staff
When you search for the term 'quick degrees' you will find a lot of institutions offering courses and these courses are delivered both online and in learning institutions. There is no doubt that many people are interested in quick degrees. However, not all the quick degrees you study for are worth their certification and the first thing you need to ensure that you do is get an institution that is accredited. You also need to ensure that you know exactly what your quick degree is offering.
You will be surprised by the number of people who choose to study for a certain course yet have no idea what the subjects are all about. If you are really interested in getting that degree, get to know what it entails to identify if it is the right fit for your career. Most importantly ensure that the college has the right teaching staff. It would be such a waste if you were to get into a learning institution only to find out that their teaching faculty is not even professional.
How to Identify Professional Staff
There are various ways in which you can find out if your professors or lecturers are professionals and here are some telltale signs.
- No grading system: This seems like information your lecturer should be willing to give you in a jiffy but an unprofessional one will not. Professors who have no clear information on their grading system make it difficult for you to plan for your semester and tend to give inconsistent grades as they have no system.
- No syllabus: Whether you are taking your quick degree online or using the traditional mode of study, the first thing students get is their syllabus. It's your professor's duty and the school to give detailed information on what you will be doing the entire semester. No syllabus is a clear indication of unprofessional staff.
- Poor time keeping: If the lecturer is unable to hold an entire session, this is a sign of an inexperienced lecturer or even worse a lazy one. The idea of getting a higher education is so that you broaden your expertise and such behavior obviously affects learning. It's not only unprofessional but unacceptable.
Now the reason why we put the major responsibility on professors and lecturers when it to comes to staff professionalism is because they matter most. That said; unprofessional staff is not just to be recognized in the classroom, you will find it in the school's administration as well.
Importance of Professional Staff
The reasons why professional staff are desired is obvious. A school's staff can help you get the most from your education. The institution should clear be able to explain the duration of the course and provide learning material as well. This could be in form of printed handouts or soft copy. Professional staff is essential in ensuring that you get the most out of your education and you need to do your research on the institution that is to provide your quick degree before you can enroll for any of their courses.

It only takes a second … a moment to fall off track. We must realize that even our follies and missteps are a part of the universe's design. Sometimes we fall off track in order to appreciate being on track.
What is on track? That is different for each of us. When I am on track, I am eating healthy balanced meals, doing yoga, meditating daily, writing regularly, and spending quality time with family and friends. I have a healthy routine that heightens my quality of life.
Unfortunately, it does not take much to throw me off course. A piece of junk food, an argument with a loved one, or a change in schedule can do me in. It is not only the act that affects me, it is my judgements about the act. Judgement is the factor that keeps me off course.
This junction is where self-forgiveness plays a large role. We must forgive ourselves in order to move on and get back on track. For example, I forgive myself for judging myself as not healthy. The truth is that I am perfect in God's eyes.
In honor of getting back on track, click here to view our Well-Life Maintenance Goals for November.
Welcome to Uplift at UPTOWN. If you are just joining us this week, my name is Anita Kopacz. I am an author and spiritual adviser with a passion to see people thrive!

The money Bank of America is making when it turns on the lights each day is staggering, and CEO Brian Moynihan has done many things right. It was remarkable. And it wasn't supposed to happen to this DJIA stock, which is why it could rally more than two percent on the day and more than 10% for the year already.
That's amazing, and, of course, it spread to the other banks such as JPMorgan Chase (JPM), which didn't report as good a number as Bank of America yet still managed to rally again in an impressive way.
[Read: iPhone Kicks Off to Chinese Frenzy]
Or take Intel (INTC). Today we got still one more upgrade, this time from the Bank of Montreal. Why? Because of a belief, now verified several times, that the personal computer market is bottoming. That's also the reason for the endless rallies in Seagate (STX) and Western Digital (WDC), two more supposed road kills and what were supposed to be the layup shorts for 2014. I am astounded at the action in these stocks. My charitable trust owns a position in Intel, and believe me when I say that I am concerned that the stock's moved up too far too fast. But my instincts are to stay along for the ride because it has been ages since Intel has done anything. It's too strong to believe that there isn't something very good going on here.
Or how about the newfound activism in tech stocks? When Elliott, a very smart activist, takes aim not at just one but two ne'er-do-well techs, Riverbed (RVBD) and Juniper (JNPR), it makes you go back over many of the hardware and software companies that have seemingly done nothing for years and years and yet suddenly could be worth a lot more than people think. This group has been so sleepy and immune to activism that it is ripe for a shakeup, hence one of the reasons why the PHLX Semiconductor Index has at last truly broken out here, up 10% for the year already.
I urge you to take a look at Xilinx (XLNX), a charitable trust name that had been stalled for ages because it said there had been a push-out of Chinese telco orders. Guess what: Those orders are now here. No more push-outs. And no more stalling out at the $45-$46 level.
Or how about construction equipment? For many people, including some very clever hedge fund managers, Caterpillar (CAT) was the short of the year. China is falling apart, right? Isn't it? The rest of the world is doing terribly. But here's one thing the no one has been talking about: Business has become quite strong in the U.S. of late, and inventories have actually gone down to more-than-acceptable levels. That's how a stock such as Caterpillar, which was down last year, has started to really get some momentum. I know that minerals are bad, China isn't so hot, and Europe is nothing to write home about. But if Caterpillar has a surge in U.S. orders to refill dealer inventories, this sucker is going a lot higher.
Or how about the oil tanker business? Don't look now, but day rates are soaring, going as high as $100,000 a day -- that's up about $80,000 from the end of the year. Lots of it is that oil that would normally have gone from Venezuela to the U.S. is now going to China, which is a much longer trip and that makes for higher rates. Plus, there are shortages in a bunch of places. Still, though, that's not supposed to happen.
Unlike the other instances that are moving up, Nordic American Tankers (NAT), a stock that I thought had been left for dead, is beginning to look mighty attractive again, particularly because the company's all-in costs are about $10,000 a day. The company is loaded up on ships and is uniquely levered to the day rates. Maybe the stock will at last catch a bid. Stranger things have happened.
[Read: Intel Still Seeking Next Big Thing]
Finally, there's cable. Universally we were supposed to be moving away from cable, right? The cord cutting, the device hopping, the lack of a need for all of that programming. Yet all you have to do is look at the move in cable giant Comcast (CMCSA), up a buck and change today and at another 52-week high, and consider the potential bidding war for Time Warner Cable (TWC) led by the once-bankrupt Charter (CHTR), and you know that the group's on fire.
Now, there are some negatives that were hard to get your arms around. The declines in mall traffic and consumer spending on apparel at brick-and-mortar stores have taken our breaths away. The shocking decline in the oil stocks, until the last two days, has been pretty gripping. I know I was taking a huge amount of heat for liking the group just two days ago, with catcalling all over the place -- something that, alas, may have marked an important floor in the sector. When the criticism turns hostile over a move, that usually means you are at a positive inflection point.

Langholme care home in Falmouth threw open its doors to friends and family for its annual summer fete on Saturday afternoon.
Opened by the mayor of Falmouth, John Body, the fair saw fun stalls, refreshments, cream teas as well as songs by choir MyloRhythm singers and beautiful music from harpist Alice Wall.
Mr Body said he was delighted to have been asked to open the summer fete, with the invitation to attend the "very first" he had received as the new mayor of Falmouth.
He said that despite the sun not shining it did not dampen spirits and that he was bowled over by the warmth and friendliness of the welcome, also paying tribute to the hard work and dedication of staff, families, volunteers and the group Friends of Langholme.
Langholme in Arwenack Avenue is home to around 40 pensioners, most of whom are in their eighties and nineties, and recently achieved an overall performance rating of 908 out of 1,000 in a national survey.

Darrell Wallace Jr. became the first African American in 50 years to win on NASCAR's national level. He's only the second African American ever (behind Wendell Scott) to do so in the history of the sport. The 20-year-old, Concord, NC driver won the Truck Series race this past Saturday at Martinsville Speedway in Virginia.
"This means everything," the 20-year-old Wallace said. "This is an emotional win for me, especially doing it in Wendell Scott's backyard. I love coming here to Martinsville, it's always good to me. It finally paid off. I think it's my third trip here. I love coming here. The fans are great here."
"We congratulate Darrell Wallace Jr. on his first national series victory, one that will be remembered as a remarkable moment in our sport's history," Brian France, NASCAR's chairman and CEO, said in a statement. "Darrell's success, following fellow NASCAR Drive for Diversity graduate Kyle Larson's win earlier this season, is indicative of a youth and multicultural movement that bodes well for NASCAR's future growth."
Wallace appeared on "The Arsenio Hall Show" via Skype to discuss his win and how he got his start. Hall joked, "Wow this is really cool, we've got basketball, we've got golf, we've got the Presidency, now we just need water polo," joked Hall. "…if one of y'all brothers can water polo that would be real cool." Watch the full clip below:

Bankruptcy Law
Bankruptcy Law Questions? Ask a Bankruptcy Lawyer.
Hi - my name is XXXXX XXXXX I'm a Bankruptcy and Consumer Protection attorney here to assist you.
Was the son added as an authorized user or as a joint account holder.
Which one?
i am not certain but son is auhorized to use it
In most cases, someone added to an account is an authorized user, as a joint account holder has to apply to be added to an account; whereas the original account holder can add any authorized user without the anything further from the authorized user.
In any event:
1) Yes - the mother can call and request that her son be removed as an authorized user.
2) She does not have the option to exclude this account from her Bankruptcy filing, as all accounts must be included.
if son is actually a joint acct. holder, can she still remove son from the acct. w/ creditor?
No - if the son is a joint account holder, then the only way to remove her son would be to close the account.
Which would not remove the son's liability for that account - if there is a balance owed.
1)I believe she can only close the acct. if she pays the balance in full ?, so if she files for bk her liability is extinguished but son will be liable?
She can close the account even if there is a balance, but the balance does not go away. If she files a Bankruptcy, she will no longer be liable for that balance, but her son will remain liable - unless he also files a Bankruptcy. Hopefully he is only an authorized user.
If she is not sure, she can find out by calling the credit card company.
one last thing, so what is better just file the bk 7 and include the credit card co.? or close the acct. first then file for bk? or one will get affected either way?
If she files a Bankruptcy, she has to include that account if there is a balance - whether or not the account is closed.
can she just reaffirm that debt so as not to ruin the credit of her son?
Her Bankruptcy filing will not in any way affect her son's credit.
The fact that the debt is discharged for her does not discharge the debt for him.
If he is a joint account holder, the only thing that can affect his credit is non-payment of the debt.
If he is only an authorized user, non-payment of the debt will not affect his credit.
thank you
In other words, her Bankruptcy - alone - will not affect his credit. Only not paying the debt can affect his credit. To protect his credit, it is not necessary for her to re-affirm the debt - she or he would just have to continue to pay.
You're welcome!
so son should expect a call from creditor or he should make arrangement to make payment after mother files?
Yes - if he is a joint account holder, to protect his credit, he or she should continue to pay the credit card bill.
Even after she files.
thank you--again.

One of the finest actors of our time! We lost him way too young. The Wild Wild West certainly would not have been the same without him, and he's done an excellent job in these two CBS RMT shows. Now if anyone knows where I can find his radio show "The Ross Martin Show" that would be wonderful! :)
Not only would I,also,love to find any episodes of"The Ross Martin Show"radio show from the very early-40's..but i'd also love to find any of his late-1940's to very early-1950's live televison shows(1948-1953)-his appearances on "Lights Out"(his episodes from 1949 to 1951),and his featured-starring role on"The Storm"-which was the very first debut episode of Westinghouse-Studio One live-television program,from 1948,and his two 1953 "Suspense"live-television episodes..and lots of other live-television anthologies that he did in the very early-1950s. Ross Martin's very impressive acting role that he did in one of my favorite Twilight Zone episodes-called "The Four Of Us Are Dying"(1960) is probably the closest you'll get to seeing just exactly the kind of 1949 to 1952 live-television performances he did-and as close as you'll get to just the kind of live-television anthology sgows he acted in-back in the late-40s &early-50s..since most all the old Twilight Zone anthology episodes all had a very early-50s live television look and feel-which is why that sgow will never get old! Now all I have to do is find as many of those Ross Martin late-40s and early-50s live television shows he was in ---hopefully all on DVD! Wish me luck!!! Fred

Tokyo, Aug 12 (IANS) The Japanese economy grew at an yearly rate of 2.6 percent in the second quarter, falling short of market expectations, official figures showed Monday.
Compared with the previous three months, the world's third largest economy expanded by 0.6 percent in the period from April to June, marking the third consecutive quarter of growth, reported Xinhua.
However, analysts had expected an annualised growth of 3.2 percent for the Japanese economy in the second quarter.
Consumption, the main driver of Japan's economic growth, rose by merely 0.8 percent, while exports registered a strong growth of 3.0 percent, thanks to a weaker yen as a result of the drastic monetary easing by Bank of Japan.
The slower growth in the second quarter aroused doubts over the impact of the economic stimulus plan launched by Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
It may delay the government's plan to double the sales tax to 10 percent by 2015, a key measure to consolidate public finance of the debt-laden country.

Being realistic is the most common road to mediocrity. Why would you be realistic? What's the point? It just puts up a barrier.
—Will Smith
Is being a little crazy a good thing?
Will Smith makes a good point (see the quote above). For many worthwhile endeavors, the odds of success are so low, the effort required so high, the sacrifices so great, that those who were dedicated enough to actually persist through the mind boggling odds must have a characteristic that keeps them going when the average person quits.
I believe that the three main attributes required to overcome such intimidating odds are:
- A compelling vision (purpose)
- A plan that's actually effective (feasibility)
- A little bit of craziness
Developing a compelling vision and solid plan are topics for a separate post. For that reason, I want to write about craziness – I feel it isn't discussed frequently enough in the world of personal development. But I believe it's true that all highly successful people need to be at least a little crazy. And before we move any further, allow me to define what I mean by "crazy." Continue Reading…

Behavioral and emotional problems — such as attention deficit disorder, hyperactivity, and depression — are somewhat more common in children (and presumably adults) with asthma, but the link is not entirely clear. Doctors don't know whether there is a biological reason that they occur together, or whether the social pressures caused by having asthma lead to behavioral and emotional issues.
Researchers have also found higher rates of behavioral problems in children with other types of long-term illnesses besides asthma, so some of the effects are probably caused by the stress of dealing with a chronic condition. Behavioral and emotional problems, however, are not caused by the use of asthma medications: Several studies have indicated that inhaled corticosteroids do not influence behavior or make children hyperactive. I wish I could tell you more, but this is as much as research has currently revealed.

Day 2 of early voting shows steady rise in turnout
Updated 10:47 pm, Tuesday, July 24, 2012
Tuesday's strong early-voting turnout for next week's primary runoffs has again surprised Bexar County election officials.
Like Monday's first day of early balloting, the county's 29 polls saw a steady stream of voters Tuesday for races including an open U.S. Senate seat and contests for U.S. House, Texas Legislature and county offices.
Delayed two months by redistricting litigation, the runoff was expected to have a low turnout. But Elections Administrator Jacque Callanen said the interest so far has been "truly amazing, and we are thrilled."
Early voting ends Friday, and election day for the runoffs will be July 31.
News Channel
Across the county Monday, residents voted at a rate of 540 people per hour, Callanen said, but Tuesday afternoon the rate was 718 an hour.
Callanen expects the tally to drop today before increasing the past two days.
Monday's early-voting turnout included 4,705 Republicans and 1,787 Democrats, for a total of 6,492.
Turnout was low in the May 29 primaries, with about one in nine voters heading to the polls.
More than half of them, about 54,400, cast votes during the early-voting period, which was held over 10 days, as opposed to the five days of early voting for the runoff.

A 39-year-old man will be charged with three murders and a string of other offences after a deadly eight-hour siege in Adelaide.
He allegedly shot dead three members of one family, two men and a woman, injured a teenage boy and shot a policeman in the face before fleeing from their house to his home next door in suburban Hectorville.
He was arrested after tense negotiations with police, almost eight hours after they were called by a woman who said shots had been fired into her home.
SA Police Deputy Commissioner Gary Burns told reporters that police were at the house less than two minutes after the triple-0 call.
"It will be alleged that the offender fired on police and the officers returned fire," he said.
"One officer was shot in the face.
"He is in a serious but stable condition with injuries to his jaw."
The man fled to his home next door and a siege situation developed while he and his mother were inside.
Police searched the first house and found three people dead with gunshot wounds - the husband of the woman who called police and her parents.
Police negotiated with the man for several hours before he was arrested about 10.15am (CST).
The teenager is in hospital with serious injuries.
Police are asking residents to remain in their homes until they have been spoken to by officers so they can search the crime scene forensically and preserve any evidence.
The 39-year-old man will be charged with three counts of murder and at least one count of attempted murder plus other offences which are yet to be finalised.

- 2. In a large skillet, cook sausage and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Add garlic and zucchini pulp; saute for 3-5 minutes or until pulp is tender. Remove from the heat. Stir in the bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and egg.

Ceres and Vesta come very close in the night sky
The two largest asteroids, Ceres and Vesta, are currently heading for their closest encounter in the night sky in recorded history. And you can see them in binoculars.
The two bodies will lie just 10 minutes of arc apart, which is only a third the apparent diameter of the Moon. Though both lie in the main asteroid belt, the spectacle is due to our line of sight.
Both occupy the same region of space every 17 years or so, but they normally lie several degrees apart, so to be so close is extremely rare and has not happened at all before since the telescope was invented.
Ceres is the larger of the two asteroids. It was the first ever to be found, by Giuseppe Piazzi, a Sicilian monk, while checking the sky at Palermo Observatory on New Year's Eve, 1800. In 1996 it was promoted to dwarf planet by the International Astronomical Union at the same time as Pluto was demoted from being a full planet to the same status.
Vesta was the fourth planet to be discovered, in 1807, and though smaller than Ceres it is the brightest in the sky.
During this conjunction, it will appear at magnitude 7.1, much brighter than the more distant Ceres at magnitude 8.4. Both are too small to appear as any more than points of light through binoculars or a small telescope.
From northern latitudes, where the nights are short in summer, you will need to observe as soon as the sky gets dark because this part of the sky is then sinking low towards the horizon.
Watch fron ome night to another and you will see a classic example of how the sky is ever-changing, with the two asteroids coming close and then moving apart again.
