Bruce A. Blefeld and Trey A. Monsour have joined K&L Gates as partners in the firm's Houston office, which opened in February.
Blefeld (pictured), a trial attorney, says he handles antitrust and complex commercial litigation matters.
Before joining K&L Gates, he was a partner in Jackson Walker in Houston, Blefeld says. He says he joined Jackson Walker in July 2011 in Houston, where he was a partner and previously was a partner in Vinson & Elkins.
Blefeld received his J.D. from the University of Texas School of Law in 1992.
Monsour (pictured) focuses his practice on bankruptcy matters. He says he is national bankruptcy counsel to Sysco Corp. and also represents lenders, creditors, investment funds, debtors and others in prefiling workouts and bankruptcy cases.
Before joining K&L Gates, he was a partner in Haynes and Boone, Monsour says. He says he started his legal career as an associate with Weil Gotshal & Manges after receiving his J.D. from the University of Houston Law Center in 1989. While in law school, he was an intern for U.S. bankruptcy Judge Letitia Clark of the Southern District of Texas in Houston, Monsour says.
Monsour says he recently completed serving six years on the board for the Children's Advocacy Center.

The reason I think this is such a useful program is that I am a great fan of C-within-S. Obviously Splus is a very powerful prototyping language. For production, we need to speed up critical sections of code, e.g. for loops. It is highly inefficient to code input/output, graphics, regression, functions like cov.mve(), etc. in C, when Splus does such a nice job. So Scompile comes to the rescue by compiling slow functions, and leaving the other stuff as S code. As a bonus, the prototype code can be used with little or no modification.
My sample program, a Metropolis-within-Gibbs approach to a cure-fraction survival model, ran about 12 times faster. Not counting the learning curve (see hints and quirks below), I guess the program modifications would take only 15 minutes. My from-scratch C program took weeks to write, and resulted in a 50-fold speed improvement.
Getting started at CMU
All of the down-loading and setup is already done for you; you only need to (once) load the Splus function "Scompile" by typing source("/usr/statlocal/notes/Scompile.q"). To compile your function(s), which live in, e.g. Test.q, type Scompile("Test.q"). When the program finishes, it tells you the name of an Splus file it created (Test.q.s in my example). This name is needed only for using your functions in future Splus sessions. In the current session you run the compiled functions exactly as you did before you compiled them. It future Splus sessions, you must source the Scompile ".s" file before running your functions (source("Test.q.s") in my example).
Note that you can have several compiled functions in one or several files which are called one or several places in your uncompiled calling program, but you cannot call your uncompiled functions from a compiled function; nor can a compiled function call a function that lives in a different file and was compiled in a separate Scompile call.
Tips and Quirks
Scompile handles all matrix operations and standard Splus operations and control structures (e.g. for loops). The Scompile web page lists the functions that it can handle; many are missing. It is OK to re-compile after changing your Splus source code; the new version overwrites the old. It is also OK to re-source your Splus source code to return to using uncompiled code (e.g. to allow use of the inspect() debugger).
Here are the things that I was affected by or just noticed:
mydnorm_function(x,mn,sd) { return(exp(-(x-mn)^2/2/sd/sd)/sqrt(6.28318530718)) }Specific examples of missing functions are:
mymax_function(x) { m_x[1] len_length(x) if (len>1) { for (i in 2:len) { if (x[i]>m) m_x[i] } } return(m) } mymin_function(x) { m_x[1] len_length(x) if (len>1) { for (i in 2:length(x)) { if (x[i]<m) m_x[i] } } return(m) }(You can remove the extra code to handle length-one vectors if you won't pass any to these functions.)
mysort_function(dat) { n_length(dat) swp_T while (swp) { swp_F for (i in 2:n) { if (dat[i]<dat[i-1]) { swp_T tmp_dat[i] dat[i]_dat[i-1] dat[i-1]_tmp } } } return(dat) }
f.oddity_function(data) { tmp_sum(data) return(tmp) } > Scompile("oddity.q") > zig_c(1,2,3) # c() works > f.oddity(zig) [1] 6 > zig_1:3 # colon operator makes "bad" vector > f.oddity(zig) [1] 0 > zi_zig+0 # Just adding zero fixes the vector > f.oddity(zig) [1] 6
ll_function(mu,x) { rtn_-0.5*(x-mu)^2 return(-sum(rtn)) }We can compile this with Scompile("ll.q") and it works fine as long as we call it with, e.g. ll(3.5, data). But to minimize this function with nlmin(), we must modify ll() to have a single argument (the parameter). If we rewrite as:
ll_function(mu) { rtn_-0.5*(data-mu)^2 return(-sum(rtn)) }we can use nlmin(ll,3.5) as long as the function is not compiled. But, an attempt to compile gives:
> Scompile("ll.q") [1] "Scompile ll.q" /usr/local/bin/gcc -I /usr/include -o ll.q.o -c ll.q.c ll.q.c: In function `ll': ll.q.c:66: `data' undeclared (first use this function) ll.q.c:66: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once ll.q.c:66: for each function it appears in.) [1] "ll.q.s" ld: Can't open ll.q.o ld: No such file or directory ld: Error 0 Error in dyn.load2("ll.q.o", userlibs = "-L/usr/st..: 'ld -A ...' failed DumpedThe problem is that the variable "data" is unknown to the compiled function. The solution is to "globalize" the data so the compiled function can see it.
Change the file "ll.q" to:
globalize_function(x) { data <<- x # follow the same pattern to globalize other variables return(0) } ll_function(mu) { rtn_-0.5*(data-mu)^2 return(-sum(rtn)) }Then Scompile("ll.q") works, and we can find the MLE by first typing globalize(data), and then doing nlmin(ll,3.5).
In summary, the files that are compiled by Scompile must consist only of Splus functions; they can't define data. If you want a compiled function to access a variable that was initialized outside of the function, that variable must either be on the parameter list, or it must be "globalized" by passing it to a globalizing function that uses the "<<-" operator.
Note: When you leave Splus and return, in addition to sourcing "ll.q.s", you will need to type globalize(data) before you can proceed to use ll(mu) again.

Serena Williams Is PREGNANT!!! [Photos]
**SQUEALS** OMG!!! Serena Williams just announced she's pregnant by her fiance Alexis Ohanian.
It's so crazy I was just wondering when Serena Williams was going to pop up pregnant. Like me, she's in her mid thirties and recently got engaged.
Serena took it to her Snapchat to show off her growing baby bump saying she's 20 weeks. WOW!!! That means she was pregnant when she won her last tennis tournament.
Peep her baby bump below:
Congrats to Serena and her finance on their new bundle to be. What do you all think she will have?

Two of these situations have occurred recently. One was for my friend whose daughter arrived about 5 weeks early. She is absolutely beautiful and perfect but her head is too small for any hats. I used a cleckheaton pattern which I adjusted a bit (mostly by using smaller needles than the pattern requested - as it wasn't a premmie hat pattern) and some leftovers I had from other projects. They are both the same pattern but in the first try (the white one) I didn't bother adding the crochet edging and just left the hat with the ribbed edge. I thought it still looked OK and I didn't have her head with me to try it so the effort was kept to a minimum until I had a sense it would fit her.
The second is the same hat in a lovely soft grey wool and cashmere blend with the edging specified in the pattern in a dusky pink (all leftovers which made this project even more wonderful!). I think she looks lovely in both and I am very proud to have been able to quickly help out and keep her little head warm in our rather grim winter!
How lovely does she look?
The other craft-emergency of late was my friend's little boy breaking his leg. Poor little man is only about 21 months and it was a bad break up on his thigh, so he ended up in a hip spica cast (both legs, set out in a kind of wide squat stance). This makes getting any trousers onto him pretty well impossible, so my friend asked if I could modify some pants she already had. As you can see the theory was just to velcro or pop stud whatever seams were necessary to get the pants on and secure. In the end pop studs worked best, and I went for the inner seam (so he had to get them on over his head) so I didn't have to faff about with the waistband.
As you can see from the piccies, this isn't the most tricky or glamorous or even well-executed sewing but it worked perfectly (people didn't stop her in the street to ask what had happened as you could barely tell he had the cast on when wearing these!) and it gave me enormous satisfaction to be practical and helpful :)

Muscle Group: Rectus Femoris forms part of the Quadriceps
Location: Front of the thigh, central
Action: Extends the knee and flexes the hip
Origin: Anterior Inferior Iliac Spine (AIIS) and acetabulum
Insertion: Upper border of patella and patella tendon
Nerve Supply: Muscular branch femoral nerve (L2, L3, L4)
Functional Activities: Getting up from a chair, swing phase of walking
Rectus Femoris is one of the four quadriceps muscles, found on the front of the thigh, in the centre. It is the only quadriceps muscle that originates above the hip joint, meaning it produces movement at both the hip and the knee, although its main action is at the knee. It is a spindle shaped bipennate muscle (i.e. shaped like a feather), meaning it has two rows of muscle fibres that run in opposite diagonal directions from a central tendon, which gives it extra power.
Rectus femoris originates from two places at the pelvis having two heads. The straight head originates from the anterior inferior iliac spine, and the reflected head originates just above the acetabulum (hip socket). The muscle runs straight down the front of the thigh (rectus is Latin for straight) and about two third of the way down, narrows into a thick tendon which attaches to the upper border of the patella. Some of the fibres pass around the kneecap joining with the other quadriceps to form the ligamentum patellae which attaches to the tibia (shin bones) on a bony lump known as the tibial tuberosity, just below the kneecap.
Rectus femoris can both extend the knee and flex the hip, as it crosses both joints. It works particularly strongly with combined movement of hip flexion and knee extension such as standing up from a seated position, climbing stairs or coming up from a squatting position. It also works hard during a straight leg raise, the lifting up of a straight leg. When walking, it is particularly active during the swing phase, as the lower leg comes forwards and the knee extends. When standing upright on both legs, there is essentially no action in the quadriceps muscles, but when standing on one leg or on a moving surface, the quadriceps muscles, will work to actively control the leg.

If you are looking at Online Enterprises on the market as you feel they can be an instant and easy way to make extra money working at home there might be other items you need to consider prior to making the last selection to purchase one particular.
This informative article implies some elements you might like to take into account, even though legitimate Web Business possibilities surely do provide a process for generating a whole time earnings on the web, or simply just creating extra income working at home. It could be pricey. Should you be looking at franchise opportunities Canada for sale you will be more than likely will be considering investing in a productive company. As a way to attain this kind of business you could nicely have to pay reasonably limited for doing it (be aware that somebody else has now carried out everything for you) that may signify (say) 5 or 6 instances the need for the yearly profits of that business. This may signify an important up-front side purchase, from 5000 to 200,000 as well as, according to the size of business you are wanting to purchase. In fact, nobody is planning to hand out a prosperous organization.
Why not commence your personal Web business? Instead of checking out online Businesses available for sale why not start off your very own? If the prospect of doing this (if you are a newcomer to Online Marketing, or pretty novice) fills you with terror, recognize that it is merely a method that you need to find out you together with once you have figured out it you can build organization soon after enterprise – and generate a half a dozen physique earnings on the web in a comparatively short time. If you drop the Internet Companies available for purchase route, additionally, every single dollar you make from day one is your own property – you don't must see 2 or 3 years of profits to recover the initial purchase you will be making.
It might not work! These days many World Wide Web businesses on the market arrive as a turnkey Website Marketing process, often known as a company inside a package. In return for your first purchase, which may vary from a few 100 to many thousand , you get access to pre-created web sites as well as a prepared-made marketing and advertising process that you simply need to personalize on your own. Whilst there are numerous genuine home based business opportunities of this variety readily available there is also a similar volume that only tend not to work and several which are just total frauds. The only method to be sure to tend not to fall prey to these opportunities is to actually carry out ample research before making any purchase.

The USFG should initiate a public contract bid for a pilot lunar terraforming project.
|Voting Style:
|Point System:
|7 Point
|4 years ago
|Post Voting Period
|3,625 times
|Debate No:
Terraforming: Deliberately modifying a celestial body to make habitable by humans.
Lunar: Relating to the moon.
Pilot: A small scale project, perhaps only a few square meters in area.
Contract bid: A process in which the best qualified company with the lowest bid will be granted the contract.
So my position in this debate is that the United State Federal Government should offer a contract bid to all U.S. companies / entities. The bid will be for the winner to create a pilot terraforming project on the moon. Since this will be a pilot project, the area would be contained and only that area would be terraformed. In other words, the atmosphere, temperature, ecology, and topography would become amenable to human habitation within that confined space. Or at least, that would be the focus.
Anyone care to oppose? First round is acceptance, 2nd and 3rd round are debating, and the fourth round should be for rebuttals.
First I'll say that enabling space technology fuels technological innovation. After all, the technology required for successful spaceflight has often been used to create novel medical and industrial equipment on earth. Since terraforming the lunar surface is a new pursuit, the technology required will likely be as novel.
My second argument is that this allow human's to move beyond the earth in their colonization attempts. Although we have been successful in inhabiting the international space station, for long term sustainability we require resources. These resources can be synthesized as long as we have access to base materials such as asteroids, moons, or other planets. Terraforming the moon gives us a way to sustain human life off of earths surface, which is pretty awesome when you think about it.
And finally, I'll argue that this pursuit could probably help industry. After all we're offering the contract bid to industry which indicates that they would be the benefactor. So not only does this help us in space, but also here at home.
With that said, I await with baited breath for my opponents reply.
Renewable Energy Tradeoff Disadvantage:
a) Clean energy is at the top of Obama's agenda- he recently proposed spending $2 billion on renewable energy research [4].
b) Moon Base unpopular, both Bush SR and JR called for lunar bases and the issue went nowhere; when Newt Gingrich called for a lunar base during the Republican primary he was laughed at from both sides of the aisle. Lunar bases are seen ad pie in the sky unnecessary spending. Undertaking such a massive endeavor would tank Obama's political capital.
c) The massive costs associated with lunar terraforming make it a political millstone, dragging down anyone who advocates it; in this case that means the Obama administration.
d) Clean energy is key to reducing oil dependence, which is key to national security. Foreign dependence on oil forces the US to protect volatile regions like the Strait of Hormuz and oil money frequently winds up in the hands of terrorists and destabilizing organizations like Hamas. Clean energy is key to preventing global warming, which poses a threat to the survival of the human race as climate shifts causes the desertification of farm land and the collapse of ecosystems.
e) There are 2.7 million green energy jobs in the US, and the clean energy sector is manufacturing and export intensive [5]. This turns Pro's industry advantage- Green energy is much more important to industry.
Spending Disadvantage:
a) Current US budget negotiations are rocky but both sides express optimism that a deal will emerge. Secretary Lew said March 14 that "we can get there." However, the deal hinges on reducing spending [1].
b) A budget deal is key to reducing the deficit- reform of structural issues like Medicare, the tax code, and defense spending are key to long term solvency [3].
c) Terraforming the moon would be massively expensive. NASA priced a moon base at $100 billion, the actual price would be in the range of $250-$500 bil [2]. But the Resolution calls for not just a moon base but the development and implementation of non-existent terraforming technology on the moon. This would entail a massive Research and Development project that would make the endeavor a multi-trillion dollar affair.
d) Pro's low-bid contract mechanism is no different from the type of government contracts used to build F-35's. A company will be awarded the contract based on the bid documents and the government will have to foot the bill for the company's work throughout the project.
e) The plan will collapse the possibility of a budget deal by introducing massive spending into delicate negotiations. Additionally, the long term spending will independently add to the deficit. Unchecked deficits will ultimately lead to the economic ruin of the US.
CP1: The USFG should increase its investment in clean energy research.
1) CP1 guarantees passage of research in clean energy. CP1 is orders of magnitude less expensive than Pro's advocacy, so it will not trigger the spending disadvantage. Pushing for a massive technology expenditure on lunar terraforming will trade off with energy research; given a choice between the two we should choose alternative energy.
2) Research shows the Alternative Energy is the future. A commitment to alternative energy could yield a 158% growth in the US economy and total independence from non-renewable energy sources.[8]
3) Funding of alternative energy research is key to solving financial barriers to private adoption. These barriers include things like electric vehicle (EV) battery life, economy of EV charging stations, cost of solar cells and batteries.
CP2: The USFG should institute prize-on-delivery awards for lunar and asteroid mining endeavors
1) Prize-on-delivery awards are monetary compensation for companies which accomplish certain tasks, in this case the retrieval of precious metals from the moon or nearby asteroids. This mechanism is much cheaper and more reliable than low-bid contracts because:
2) Prize-on-delivery has a history of success; the X Prize award successfully motivated 26 companies to compete to build private space craft, with a winner emerging in 2004 [6].
3) Since multiple teams compete, CP2 better stimulates development and dispersion of new technology throughout the private sector. Prize-on-delivery engages a wide talent base and mobilizes the private sector.
4) Linking prizes to space mining rather than terraforming better engages the capitalist motivation toward profit. Companies have the monetary incentive of the prize as well as the promise of a wide open mining operation for profit beyond the prize claim. The monetary award effectively acts as a combatant to the high entry cost of the lunar mining market.
5) Award Prizes are much more reasonable in cost than permanent contracts- the Google X Prize is $20 million [7].
6) The more modest cost of CP2 means it does not trigger the Spending Disadvantage. CP2 represents an expansion of economic development into space, making the rationale more accessible to the public and avoiding political blowback. The small cost and engagement of the private sector also avoid the political unpopularity of large spending.
Pro's Case:
1) Technology
2) Space Colonization
3) Industry
4) Feasibility
Multiple factors make lunar terraforming infeasible.
a) Lack of shielding from solar radiation means atmosphere is periodically stripped away [9]. My cite is about Mars, but lunar conditions are similar. [10]
b) The moon's atmosphere is nearly non-existent; conditions are similar to those in the vacuum of space, meaning there are no molecules such as CO2 for plants to use.
c) Lunar soil is abrasive and glassy, making it physically antagonistic to possible lunar life.

AT Disad1:
A. Terminally non-unique: no political capital now.
B. Straight Turn: Republicans view Lunar Tech as an olive branch, as long as they control the funding.
AT Disad 2:
A. Non-unique: Budget Talks Will Fail SQ.
B. Straight Turn: Case Solves the Budget Talk CrisisD. The CP does not capture the try-or-die advantge on case. Meaning even in a world where CP somehow avoids the DA, it still is outweighed magnititudinally on case.

C. Non-unique x-prize is already offering a prize for lunar rover technology. Rover technology is the lynchpen for mining operations because it solves the transportation issue. Extend con's arguments about x-prize being solvent. [8]
Case Advantage: Try-or-Die
A. Stephen Hawking and prevelant thinkers suggest that life on earth is vunerable to a serious extinction threat within the next 100 years. This may occur via asteroid collisions, accidental nuclear launch resulting in thermo-nuclear war, oceanic methane pockets rupturing, ocean acidfication via the carbonic cycle, and various other man-made/natural phenomena. [9]
B. Case provides the necessary first step to getting off the rock. It begins the technological innvotation necessary for creating habitats on other stellar bodies. This is an advantage over space stations because allows proximity to necessary resources.
C. Con makes arguments about no atmopshere being an impediment to implementation. Luckily terraforming is partially the process of creating an artifical atmopshere. A pilot-project would do so within a contained space where it would not be lost to vacuum.
D. Con also makes some arguments about the scary soil (c'mon you're an engineer dude...). Contained spaces solves for lunar dust as does technological innovation.
E. Ultimately this advantage outweighs all other impacts in the round. It is a try or die scenario for human and all other forms of life. Neither CP isolates this. Time-frame analysis is pretty pointless in a world where it is our only chance.
Misc Case Attacks
A. This won't bankrupt the economy since republicans have budget control and the fillibuster.
A. Even in a world where republican leaders strike down all proposals and do not fund anything the case is net beneficial. It invigorates industry to consider the problem which is still a form of progress. No case pacifies DA links.
1) Obama"s energy plan will pass- it is budget neutral by allocating federal revenue from oil and gas and it is built on Republican policy suggestions. Bipartisan support for the plan already exists, Republicans are just making noise for pro-oil concessions. Obama is expected to offer concessions on issues like Keystone pipeline to placate Republicans [1]. This just shows that the issue is at the brink, controversial spending only stands to hurt negotiations.
2) Pro"s source 3 says Tea Party favors PRIVITZATION of space and notably cites the prize-on-deliver Space X program as one the Tea Party supports. Pro is just the government contracting space development out, just like we do with military equipment. CP2 actually incentivizes private sector space engagement; Pro"s source [3] proves CP2 does not link to the tradeoff DA.
3) Republicans want to cut NASA funding and NASA funding is viewed as an issue Obama supports [3] Pro has private companies execute the job, but all funding is still provided by the USFG, making it tantamount to NASA spending:
4) Republicans want a balanced budget, any major spending will tick them off- even spending on a lunar colony [2].
5) All Pro"s olive branch arguments are bogus, he offers one piece of evidence that only says the Tea Party wants a US moon (via the private sector) in the face of massive Republican opposition to spending and NASA funding.
6) Alternative energy is crucial to preventing catastrophic impacts of global warming. Global warming is an immediate and present threat to the survival of the human race, if we don"t act now we face the destruction of earth. The extinction threats cited by Pro (e.g. asteroids) are low probability " we have plenty of time to develop technology to solve. Prioritize immediate and solvable issues like global warming and oil dependence.
1) Key Republicans like Paul Ryan think budget deal is possible, the key issue is a balanced budget. There is light at the end of the tunnel but massive long term spending will make a balanced budget impossible. [2]
2) My argument functions on two levels: the first is that major long term spending kills budget compromise, the second is that major long term deficit spending is independently undesirable given the current state of the US deficit. This second level impact is directly proportional to the amount of spending a plan requires; the more money spent the more damage done to the US deficit. Even if I lose that budget compromise will happen (which I won"t), I still win that deficit spending is undesirable.
3) Even if NASA isn"t the agent, my dollar estimate is still the most accurate- comparing the research required to develop terraforming technology, develop a way to implement it, then actually terraform the moon is a massive undertaking not at all comparable to the Dragon Spaceshuttle. Pro says he isn"t advocating a moon base, but later says terraforming could occur in an "enclosed space;" I guess he"s technically advocating a moon greenhouse? The fact is terraforming technology is science fiction at this point so no realistic cost estimate exists- such a program would be a trillion dollar decades long R&D effort.
4) Fixed price contracts have a history of failure, especially on non-standard research projects [4]. Pro"s bidding mechanism is just an incarnation of defense contract work- more inefficient government spending.
Pro Case:
1)Pro concedes he only calls for bids but doesn"t guarantee funding. This means his case has no guaranteed solvency- Republicans will shut down funding, cross apply my DA1 arguments.
2)Calling for bids does nothing to spur industry- all it does is get some companies to price out the contract. Companies will do the minimum work required to put together a competitive bid and nothing more. Pro does literally nothing to help colonization.
3)Extend that terraforming the moon faces immense technical difficulties: solar radiation means the moon atmosphere is periodically destroyed, preventing atmosphere cultivation; enclosed structures face the problem of bombardment by space debris (think of all the craters on the moon); lunar soil IS a problem as it is fine and highly abrasive- it damages equipment and finds its way into everything. These are up front technical problems that will require extensive R&D, making Pro"s plan extremely expensive.
4)Even if the plan is put out but not funded, it still triggers DA1 and DA2- extend that NASA funding is viewed as an Obama issue. The right will view it as a massive push for government spending, tanking any hope for compromise on the budget and aggravating compromise on alternative energy.
5)Cross apply [4] that fixed price contracts have a history of failure, especially on cutting edge tech projects. Even if funded, Pro will fail.
I will concede the perm- CP1 is not a reason to reject the resolution.
1)Perm fails
a.Space privatization is the true olive branch- cross apply that Tea Party wants space privatization. Only CP2 privatizes space, meaning CP2 turns both DA1 and DA2 via the olive branch mechanism explained by Pro. Pro"s case is just another government space program, linking to DA1 and DA2. The Perm links to both DA"s while CP2 alone straight turns both.
b.CP2 is factors of magnitude less expensive, meaning any risk of linking to spending DA is marginal compared to Pro. CP2 alone is best option.
c.Extend my On-case: Pro is a do nothing plan while CP2 solves case. The massive solvency deficit means CP2 alone is best option.
2)Privatization of space solves industry and tech innovation infinitely better than Pro. CP2 links development of space technology to profit motives, ensuring long term commitment to development of space; Pro relies on continued government funding for solvency. Privatization spurs innovation through competition and engaging wider base.
3)Pro concedes CP2 solvency in his point 3) by saying X Prize solves- this effectively says status quo will solve case, which means Pro is still undesirable since he links to DA 1 and DA2.
4)Extend my R2 [6] " a $10 million dollar prize cause $100 million in private investment; this demonstrates the massive potential of prize-on-delivery for spurring private industry and the magnitude of cost efficiency involved.
5)Development of asteroid mining tech solves Pro"s extinction scenario- in case of emergency just shoot Bruce Willis into space while I look after Liv Tyler.
6)Resources are a prerequisite to colonization- Mining operations ensure access to minerals, hydrogen, etc. needed to sustain colonization. Mining better solves colonization than plan.
7)Mining anchors colonization efforts to industry- economic drive for mining access will spur technology needed for space colonization. CP2 establishes momentum for private sector drive for colonization, better capturing try-or-die scenario of plan.
8)Privatization offers best path to economically viable colonization. Private efforts ensure that most feasible space colonization effort emerges through free market innovation and economic pressure. Pro forces expensive R&D down the path of lunar colonization, ignoring the possibility that alternatives might be better.
9)If I win that CP2 alone solves colonization at least as well as the Plan, then any risk of DA1 or DA2 is a compelling reason to vote Con. CP2 best spurs industry and space colonization, so there is no reason to add trillions to the deficit on a government terraforming program, nor risk angering republicans with a massive spending proposal and tank the budget talks and Obama"s alternative energy plan.

These are the rebuttals which mean two things. First new arguments shouldn't be considered, and second, previously dropped arugments are dropped. My opponent drops a few too many arguments to win this debate.
A. Uniqueness Debate
B. Straight Turns:
A. Uniqueness
B. Turns
A. Extend my opponent's #3 argument where he says, "by saying X Prize solves- this effectively says status quo will solve case." Now extend my argument where I say that X-Prize is already offering my opponents counterplan. This means that the try-or-die scenario is solved SQ and that DA1 becomes the largest/only impact in this debate round. My opponent also argues that DA1 is the most probable.
B. This also means plan and CP have no meaningful difference excepting how they interact with DA1. My opponent's arguments about industry invigoration are meaningles in a world where the prize is already being offered.
C. However, while the CP and Plan don't have impacts anymore, they are different in-so-far as they associate with DA1. Con makes a mistake by dropping my argument stating that x-prize is already solving the CP. This is an indication that republican leaders will view CP as a redudancy. Meanwhile, plan is a novel concept, which is advocated by republican leaders and the tea party.
A. I don't need any of these arugments. My opponent concedes that x-prize is already solving the try-or-die, it's not an impact in this round.
A. Why I Win.
Pro concedes that CP2 is competitive via the DA"s, so if CP2 is even marginally preferable to the Rez you should vote Con.
1. Pro says "no new arguments in rebuttals" then proceeds to give a brand new argument on CPI- his R3 CPI response was a one line statement with no explanation, NOT an argument; The entire CPI point should be thrown out.
2. Pro gives no explanation as to why filibusters and failure on other issues means GOP will shut down a bipartisan energy bill that is that brainchild of a GOP Alaskan Representative. The same can be said on the CPI issue- it just isn"t relevant. Prefer my analysis because it is topic specific- GOP wants Keystone concessions and Obama is preparing to make them, the energy bill is budget neutral. I am reposting my R3 evidence because it is now behind a pay wall (sorry!) [1]
3. Even if I lose Uniqueness, CP2 turns the link so DA1 is a net-benefit AND superior CP2 solvency gives a reason to vote Con if DA1 disappears.
B. Straight Turns:
1. Pro pays a company to do R&D on behalf of the government, the same way we pay Lockheed to build weapons for the military. Just like with military spending, as soon as government funds dry up, the jobs dry up; all the technology would be property of the government (i.e. the people who paid for it); theres no market force driving space exploration; etc.
2. Pro is using large amounts of government money to fund space research on behalf of the government- if it looks like NASA and it quacks like NASA, it probably isn"t a duck. Extend my evidence that Republicans want to defund NASA- the reasons they want it defunded isn"t because they don"t like the acronym, its because they don"t like the idea; Pro follows the idea of NASA.
3. PRO HAS NO EVIDENCE THAT REPUBLICANS WANT A LUNAR BASE. His initial R3 cite on this point says the following: "Tea Party in Space platform states, "Our goal is nothing less than the expansion of American civilization into the solar system." And "TEA Party in Space wants is to stop the SLS program and put it all in the hands of private enterprise." Pro"s own evidence explicitly states that the #1 concern is privatization and doesn"t support the moon being special. ONLY CP2 privatizes space, so only CP2 turns DA1.
4. CP2 isn"t major spending- extend my solvency that prize-on-delivery gets $100 million private investment for a $10 million prize; on top of this CP2 doesn"t require the creation of sci-fi terraforming technology and so will be much cheaper. The magnitudes of difference in cost means CP2 will look like a reasonable expense to mobilize a private sector takeover- remember GOP wants privatization; whereas plan is a government funded research project, CP2 is the cost of getting the government out of space.
5. Pro"s olive branch narrative makes zero sense. His premise is that offering the GOP the chance to vote against spending they don"t like will somehow foster bipartisanship- Dems let the GOP shoot down spending they don"t like ALL THE TIME. Also extend that NASA is viewed as an Obama issue so plan will look like Obama backed government spending and generate ill-will toward the president"s agenda. The true olive branch is CP2, a cheap way to privatize space.
A. Uniqueness
1. Pro"s source only indicates Boehner wants a balanced budget and doesn"t think Obama want one- this just shows theres work to be done. Optimism from Lew and Ryan shows both sides of the aisle still think a deal will happen.
2. Even if deficit spending happens now, every additional penny is a step in the wrong direction. Common sense says you pick the cheapest of two equivalent options.
3. Again, even if I lose Uniqueness I still turn the link via an olive branch. Worst case, no-uniqueness means DA2 is a wash while DA1 and CP2 solvency give a reason to vote Con.
B. Turns
1. Pro"s plan isn"t a small scale program. Pro calls for development of technology not even close to existing, and of a means of implementing it on the moon, then actual implementation. The dragon was a repetition of a task we"ve been doing for decades. The expensive part of the plan is the massive R&D involved. Extend also that a moon base would cost $500 bil and Pro concedes he needs an "enclosed structure."
2. Again, case is just a chance to deny spending not an olive branch. CP2 is the real olive branch.
3. Hey, let"s see what Republicans think of Space X in Pro"s R4 [1]: Sen. Richard Shelby (R-Ala.). Shelby said that the Obama administration's plan to elevate new contractors like SpaceX "is a plan where the taxpayer subsidizes billionaires to build rockets that NASA hopes one day will allow millionaires, and our own astronauts, to travel to space. The administration claims that if we build up this so-called commercial rocket industry, the private sector market will magically materialize." Fine, I will grant that the plan "functions based on republican perception of an olive branch." Its almost as if I paid a senator to restate my argument for me. Note: this is not a new argument, this is the first opportunity I had to respond to Pro"s evidence and it just affirms points already made.
A.I never concede X Prize solves case, just that it proves prize mechanism solvency. Nothing about X Prize incentivizes space mining, which is key to tying space development to profit motive and establishing a resource supply line for colonization. Pro gives no evidence that X Prize does any of this, because it doesn"t.
B.Pro drops all my arguments about how CP2 solves infinitely better than case. Only by tying market forces to space development do we create a long term mechanism for space colonization, spur competition and innovation, etc. The mining aspect is crucial to developing resource lines for future colonization. Plan will never receive funding, and even if it did its solvency would be contingent on continued government support.
C.CP2 solves case while Plan doesn"t- this means if you buy Pro"s argument that the energy bill won"t pass, you sure as heck better vote Con and hope that we privatize space before global warming kills us all. Either way, I am winning the DA1 link debate.
A. Try-or-die is an impact: X-prize only proves mechanism solvency, the direction of space mining is crucial to CP2 solvency.
A. Why I Win.
1.Pro concedes that CP2 solves case better than plan- this means all I have to do is show that CP2 is on balance neutral with the plan as far as DA1 and DA2 are concerned.
2.Pro concedes privatization of CP2, guaranteeing solvency to try-or-die.
3.Only CP2 solves try-or-die; it offers the only hope of colonizing space and avoiding extinction. I could concede his uniqueness on both DA1 and DA2 and win the debate on try-or-die alone.
4.CP2 is more favorable to DA1, three reasons:
a.GOP views plan same as NASA, guaranteeing plan triggers the link. Every piece of evidence on this topic proves that GOP don"t want to fund space research, with Republicans specifically citing the Dragon X program Pro models as an Obama plan they hate.
b.Even if I lose Uniqueness, privatization turns the link. Pro"s own evidence shows the right wants privatization, his own evidence shows they view Pro"s plan as more government spending. Only CP2 has access to the privatization olive branch.
c. Even if you don"t buy the CP2 link turn, Plan will always link to DA1 on spending perception.
5. Pro has no claim to olive branch- giving the GOP a chance to not fund a program does nothing for bipartisanship.
6. The plan will always link to DA1 and DA2 stronger than CP2 via spending since plan is magnitudes more expensive- this means CP2 will always be at least equal with the plan.
7. If everything else in the debate is equal- vote con because CP2 is cheaper, its just common sense. The deficit spending link on DA2 is proportional to the magnitude of spending, so CP2 will always come out ahead.

I understand the process. You were pretty clear about it in the debate.
Let me lay out how I'm thinking about this.
If your plan was to open the moon to public bidding, so that private companies could bid on rights to terraform the moon, then I could easily buy that Republicans would line up behind this proposal. Why? Because this is not spending, this is REVENUE GENERATION. This helps to SOLVE the budget crisis, and does nothing to exacerbate it. Furthermore, the Tea Party wants this to happen. Great. You win.
However, your proposal dealt with FURTHER SPENDING. This is about as anti-GOP as I can imagine. Raisor brought this up on multiple occasions. His plan on clean energy was also anti-GOP, but at least had strong support from Democrats. He recognized the political realities inherent in budget cuts, and how political capital works.
@Raisor: LOL, ok. I googled "debate fiat". IMHO this needed to be clear in round #1. Most people on this website, including myself, have little if any formal debating experience. I judged the merits of this proposal from my own perspective, which did not assume that this policy or anything like it was going to go through. Regardless, I would have been much more receptive to what I laid out above.
Don't be sore because someone didnt like your impact calc.
google "debate fiat" and then come back to Yraelz last post directed at you.
The difference between my plan and Raisor's is that my plan only initiates a contract bid which costs about nothing. Raisor offers a prize, which costs something unspecified. Money can never preclude Raisor's plan from happening, in order to evaluate it we assume that deficit spending occurred to allow it to happen. Likewise, nothing can stop my plan from happening, we assume a few dollars a deficit spent in order to initiate the contract bid. The difference though is that the 'space advantage' of my plan can be stopped if no contract is accepted. Raisor does not suffer from this limitation, because his plan's 'space advantage' does not rely on solvency steps (or at least I conceded this). So he gets a space advantage which I argue is worthless. However, he spends money while I probably don't, which I argue stops a bad gridlock.
At which point, companies that are interested will put together a proposal and submit it. After reading the proposals the USFG can decide whether or not to fund one of them. Initiating a contract bid, in no way, requires that funding ever happens. If none of the contracts look good, or they decide that contracts would require too much expense, then nothing happens.
In other words, initiating a public contract bid only requires time and resources from the private companies. It requires very little from the United States.

Thanks, Martin. Some cool new options in there; I'm glad to see the GPU stuff is starting to come to Chrome OS.
Logging into the Cr-48 seems to be a challenge for some goofy reason and Google's authentication popups suck big time.
Annoying search bug i had to make dogpile my default search just to he able to look up anything.
Google, Bing, and Yahoo all crash
I suppose it should be mentioned that this is the dev channel update. The beta channel update was and still is broken. A tip I've found (and it may be posted elsewhere here, have no idea) is for the audio problems, turn your volume all the way up and it works fine. Then use the software volume controls. Not a bad workaround until the problem is fixed.
Anyone else having trouble with their clock? I set it to Central time zone and it sets it back to Pacific by itself. My clock is 2 hours behind and is really confusing me.
Still seeing wifi disconnect issues. It seems that hulu will give the black box when the gpu stuff is enabled in about:flags. Another trick that has worked for me with sound is using Shift+Esc then killing flash.
It may be my imagination but the trackpad seems to be behaving better.
Many browser sad face crashes, but fewer wireless dropouts from my DIR-655

Sweet, finally got the dev channel update. I will have to test the new GPU acceleration cause thats awesome.
.....and done. It definitely works. First, disable both of them in about:flags, run the test here:
Hardware Acceleration Stress Test.
Then re-enable them and re-run the test. Went from 6 fps to 20 fps. Sweet!
Edit to add: Make sure you restart chrome whenever you change flags options else they won't be in effect (theres a button on that screen)

I had quite an enlightening experience these past few weeks. I found myself in the position of being placed in charge of hiring a designer and for the first time, I had to consider the other side of the job search process in my career.
Hiring a designer seems like it is a completely different process than hiring for any other position because I have immediate access to their work via portfolios and samples. I do not envy those who have to hire without such a great way to view a candidate's skill, knowledge, and breadth of experience.
I have learned a great deal and the process has led me to look at my own materials in a completely different light.
Let's be honest, if you are a graphic designer and your resume is a Word document, you are shooting yourself in the foot. This piece that sums up all of yourself on one page (yes, one page) should be the highlight of your design. It shows hierarchy, organization, balance, and so much more. As a designer hiring a designer, if I had to, I would be able to make up my mind about you in 15 seconds based on your resume design. I'm not saying that's the best way to hire a designer, but like it or not, your mind leans one way or the other fairly quickly when presented with a stack of 100 applicants. A word of caution, however; putting effort into designing a good resume is not in adding crazy colors, fonts, or images. A Word doc resume is one end of the spectrum, and a resume with 5 fonts, full bleed, and neon colors is on the other.
I was impressed with the amount of applicants who did not come from the traditional 4 year BFA program. I may be biased myself, as I did not come from that particular background, but applicants that came from a background in another industry, who them decided to pursue graphic design sometimes were just as good if not better than other traditional designers. I'm not knocking the BFA in design by any means, merely pointing out the design is ultimately being an interpreter, and unique backgrounds can yield a different type of design thinker. In the very end, one of my own top applicants had some schooling, but no degree.
By and large this is the portion that matters the most. Let me list a few obvious no brainers in regards to viewing 100 personal websites:
- If your website is not live or functioning, someone looking to hire you will most likely not reach out and inform you. You will be eliminated. Always be aware of your website's status.
- If you use another portfolio service such as Carbonmade or Behance, more often than not, it will not stand up to other 100% standalone portfolio websites. It comes off feeling like a half-ass solution, wether or not your work is amazing. Be sure to put the extra effort in.
- If you have a blog section, be sure it has at least a few postings and something more recent than a year ago. Otherwise, just get rid of it. (I'm still working on this one, myself).
You must remember the goal of your online portfolio is to be that, a portfolio. The website design should function well without needing to be figured out. It should be unobtrusive, because the point of the site is for showing your work.
In regard to posting your work, first off have high quality images. Low res photos and poorly rendered mockups speak very poorly. Chose only your best work, not all of your work. Include well written and thought-out descriptions. Do not just describe what is in the image, but what the project was, who it was for, the problem being solved, the process, the implementation, and the follow up. I spent about 1 minute on 80% of the sites, 5 minutes on 15%, and up to a half hour on 5% if there was amazing content.
After narrowing down my top applicants I stepped back and did some reflection on how I got to that point. What surprised me more than anything was that my decision on most people was not calculated one. Instead, my decisions were normally quick and in line with my gut reaction. I suppose I did not expect my hiring process to go that route but it is efficient and led to a group of memorable, talented candidates.
Overall, be sure to take a step back and try to look at all of your materials from a blank perspective. I'm currently doing so with my own materials, now that I have been on the other side of the process.
