David, I am quite surprised to see such a curt dismissal of Adobe Photoshop CS5 in this piece as Adobe Photoshop CS5 is now one of the most powerful and flexible programs for 32-bit workflows, as I describe in great detail in my book, Practical HDRI, 2nd Edition, High Dynamic Range Imaging Using Photoshop CS5 and Other Tools. (available through B&H, and many other places ;) )
Not to take anything away from Photomatix or Nik's HDR Efex Pro, but Photoshop CS5 can do a number of things these programs simply cannot.
- CS5 has a powerful set of tools available both in the toolbar and under Image>Adjustments including saturation, exposure, gradient, levels, and fill masks, and much more.
- CS5 allows for local adjustments to selections and layer masks created from selection tools, pen and vector-based path tools, and with some easy workarounds, from the full set of local selection tools available in 8 and 16-bit space for all the soft-tone mapping adjustments mentioned in bullet point 1.
- CS5 allows for paintbrush-based dodging and burning of 32-bit color values.
Honestly, for the "serious user" with a good degree of on-image local and global editing, CS5 is in a class of its own. You can search Google for: "youtube jack howard hdri" for a 60-minute screencast I've presented showcasing some of the unique strengths of Photoshop CS5 for HDRI for photographers.
As it stands, I think Mr. Cardinal did a very nice job in this article comparing Photomatix to HDR Efex, but I do think Mr. Cardinal owes it to himself to dig a bit deeper into the possibilities that Photoshop CS5 offers the HDR photographer for a follow-up piece if he thinks the HDR Toning command is the sum of CS5's potential for tone mapping 32-bit images.

The Vibe for Fall 2012
The King of Paisley returns, literally shaking his tail feather with a line that's full of 'em. Throughout, Kean Etro's detail du jour—the Technicolor quill—accented the behind of a tailcoat tux, covered the lapel of a double-breasted jacket, and even doubled as bow tie. The color schemes, like a revolving kaleidoscope, morphed from simple black and white to pomegranate red to fall plumage to leprechaun green. A sharply-tailored cut served as the ambassador in this gathering of avian affectations, paisley patterns, and velvet textures, anchoring the line with a sturdy silhouette. Forget those street style guys, these are the real fashion peacocks.

FORESTRY is used to operating on the long cycles of growing trees. But in the past year, the Nova Scotia industry has had rapid change rip through it like a chainsaw.
Since last fall, the pulp mill and the papermaking machine at Queens County's Bowater Mersey have closed. One paper machine at Point Tupper is gone, too. Plans by Pacific West Commercial Corporation to restart pulp operations and the second paper machine at the Strait of Canso are far from certain, dependent as they are on subsidized power rates and a tax ruling by Revenue Canada.
Meanwhile, many forest contractors dependent on a revival of papermaking by PWCC (and necessary to it) are being kept on life support by an emergency shot of provincial silviculture spending that can't last forever.
The loss of two paper machines has kicked last year's provincial forestry strategy into the out-of-date basket and created tougher conditions for bringing small woodlots into managed production. The economic impact on sawmills, which trade in logs and chips with pulp operations, is a dark wood, too.
A new biomass power plant will require fuel, but its economic and environmental logic depend on burning the lowest-grade fibre, harvested as a byproduct of higher-value operations.
And the largest privately owned expanse of woodland in the province, Bowater's 550,000 acres, is for sale. As The Chronicle Herald's Aaron Beswick reports today, a movement led by small woodlot owners wants the province to acquire this vast tract and to manage it as a mixed-species Acadian forest that is natural to the region. That forest would be less focused on supplying pulpwood and more diversified into high-value hardwood species.
Clearly, the future of forestry will have to be more diversified than the past. The loss of so much paper capacity guarantees that, even though pulp and paper will remain a major user and employer if PWCC comes through and Northern Pulp maintains its operations.
There's also a good case —two really — for Nova Scotia to seriously consider buying some or all of the Bowater land if the price is right.
One you could call the defensive case. The province has an interest in preventing these lands from being acquired on the cheap by offshore interests and then mined for export logs, chips and fuel. That would provide little benefit to Nova Scotia and probably cost us in the long run in terms of lost opportunities for higher-value uses of the resource.
But if the province is going to spend $100 million or so on forest land, it should have a more proactive business case, as well. The goal is not just to prevent a poor use of the resource, it's to encourage local industry to find the optimum mix of good uses. In other words, we need a well-conceived, realistic plan of what new or expanded industries, product lines, added value and markets can be developed economically from this resource. We need to understand housing opportunities in markets like Brazil, China and India, new manufacturing uses of wood fibre, forest tourism, better engineering and design in wood products.
Such a plan is not going to grow top-down from government. We need the many competing and inter-dependent entrepreneurs of the forestry to seriously work together to come up with this model, so no value or opportunity, from the finest hardwood to the junk that fuels the biomass boiler, is wasted. And the returns must be in the present as well as the future, because contractors, landowners and businesses have to earn a living while long-term change takes place.
It's called being resourceful. And that, in the end, is the best way to maximize any resource.

Edmund's social skills
Written by LauraMarie
(9/19/2010 3:32 a.m.)
in consequence of the missive, The outs and not outs, penned by Tori Marie
I tend to think this exchange has more to do with Edmund's lack of concern for social niceties than a lack of concern for Fanny. It may also tell us something about Fanny's somewhat ambiguous position in the family. Sir Thomas had said early on that a distinction had to be preserved between Fanny and his daughters, but I get the impression that the family sort of works it out as they go along rather than the distinction being very clear to everyone. But I don't think Edmund considers it particularly important whether a girl is officially out or not. I also wonder if this has anything to do with the differences between London society and that of country gentry.

It's been a boom time for country music in Boston. WKLB recently won the Country Music Association trophy for Major Market Radio Station of the Year, and country star Jason Aldean bested the likes of the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen, and Boston's own Aerosmith by selling out Fenway Park in just 7 minutes. While country music has always been popular in New England — especially at suburban venues in Foxboro, Mansfield, Worcester, and Lowell — it has definitely made inroads into the city in recent years.

The Kangaroo rat is one of the smallest animals in North America.
They grow up to 15 inches from the tip of their noses to the tip
of their tails, have short front legs and large heads. Their
back legs are long and good for jumping long distances. They have
large eyes that can see well in the dark. Their tails are about
as long as their bodies.
They live in the deserts of the United States and Mexico. As nocturnal
animals they come out at night to hunt for food. They carry the
food in their cheeks.
Kangaroo rats fur is yellow and brown on the upper part of the
body, and white on the under part of the body. They live in borrows,
and don't drink water or any other liquid. They get the water
from the food they eat.

August 18, 2012–An interesting article on the ethical concerns surrounding big data was recently published by the San Diego Times, "Deontology and data mining" by J.D. Hildebrand. What in the world is deontology, you ask. Good question. Hildebrand explains the term by contrasting it to utilitarianism, a school of philosophy that believes in pursuing the greatest good for the greatest number of people. Deontologists argue that certain acts are always wrong, even if they benefit the greater good. What does this have to do with data analytics?
According to Hildebrand:
"Several commentators in the tech community have suggested that the "Batman" massacre of July 20 could have been prevented with a little data mining. Relatively simple software might have monitored the future shooter's statements on social media, public records, school transcripts, and online purchases, identifying him as a legitimate threat and alerting police. Data mining software could have saved a dozen lives. And at least one blogger has suggested that this fact is reason enough to curtail online privacy concerns and due-process constraints, allowing law-enforcement agencies to monitor our lives, especially our electronic lives, with an eye toward preventing us from committing crimes."
We stand firmly behind privacy laws and appreciate Hildebrand's point. However, this should not detract from the incredible potential that exists for data analytics to benefit both the greater good and the individual. There is plenty of public information available to keep data miners busy. Intrusion into the field of private information is simply illegal and should be avoided at all costs. Fortunately, many companies focusing on data mining are simultaneously, hard at work creating security systems to guard against the illegal intrusion into private information. Digital Reasoning, Barracuda Networks, and Gazzang are a few of the more interesting companies we recommend.

Even better second time round. I don't understand how this film is so aesthetically pleasing in such a pikey setting, i just love the the style of shots in this film. My lecturer was telling us this morning how Katie Jarvis was poached for the film after producers saw her arguing with her boyfriend at a train station. British realism at it's best in my opinion. Gritty, funny, dark, entertaining.

For those of you who haven't read the books or movies and wouldn't know a vampire from a werewolf (hint -- the wolves really like to go shirtless in the rain), Moviefone gives you a hint of what to expect. If the film hews to the book, Team Jacob and Team Edward will come together to fight a new breed of vampires, Bella and Edward will look at colleges, and poor Jacob will have to wrestle with heartbreak when he learns that Edward and Bella are getting hitched (ouch).
Twihard fans may also be treated to some changes, though it's too soon to know if they'll be improvements or not. The third installment gets a new director in David Slade ('Hard Candy' and the vampire thriller '30 Days of Night') and a new Victoria, as Rachelle Lefevre will be replaced by 'The Village' star Bryce Dallas Howard.
Oh, and if you're still wondering about that release date, 'Eclipse' is scheduled to hit theaters June 30, 2010. Sorry, Twihards, but you're gonna have to wait a loooong time for your next dose of Robert Pattinson as Eddie Cullen.

Exploring RSA Encryption in OpenSSL
When sending your credit card number through a public medium, such as the Internet, your financial credibility may be compromised if the number is not first encrypted. It is impossible to tell who may be listening in on your connection as you shop for new CDs or books. The RSA encryption method often is used to hide your credit card number from would-be thiefs on the Internet, because it uses a public key to hide your information and a private key to reveal it. This article banishes the mystery surrounding RSA encryption and explains how a realistic implementation of RSA works in the OpenSSL library. The only files you need to concern yourself with appear in the openssl/crypto/bn and openssl/crypto/rsa subdirectories. Feel free to download and take a look at the code to get a feel for it before continuing.
The best way to understand asymmetric encryption is to think of a box that has two kinds of keys: one key locks it and the other unlocks it. Anybody who has a copy of the locking key (aka public key) can put a secret in the box. Because only you have the unlocking key (aka private key), nobody else can reveal a secret that someone else locked in the box. This is different from symmetric key encryption, in which the same key is used for locking and unlocking.
Here is an example of encryption using the same key. First, we choose a number and call it the key. We want to encrypt a credit card number, so we subtract each number of the credit card from the key. For instance, take the number 1424 3135 2435 1556 and choose the number 12. We could encrypt it like so:
12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 -1 -4 -2 -4 -3 -1 -3 -5 -2 -4 -3 -5 -1 -5 -5 -6 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 11 8 10 8 9 11 9 7 10 8 9 7 11 7 7 6
The bottom list of numbers then would be the encrypted credit card number. To decrypt the credit card number, we need only to subtract each number from the key once again:
12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 12 11 8 10 8 9 11 9 7 10 8 9 7 11 7 7 6 -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- 1 4 2 4 3 1 3 5 2 4 3 5 1 5 5 6
Modern encryption algorithms such as AES and Triple DES are much more complicated--not to mention more secure--than this technique, but the example shows how the same key is used for both encryption and decryption. Before two parties can use this system, they both need to know the key 12. The algebra equations that symbolize this algorithm are:
where M is the number to encrypt, K is the key (12 in the above example) and C is the encrypted cipher-text number. If two parties can agree on a key before beginning communications, then symmetric encryption is enough. This prearrangement, however, is not always feasible.
Say you log on to a bookstore for the first time and decide to buy something with a credit card. How do you know which key to use? Either you or the on-line bookstore has to choose the key (K), but it cannot be sent over the Internet because snoopers may see it. This is where RSA comes in handy. The equations for encrypting and decrypting are only a little more complicated than they are for the subtraction technique:
C = ME mod N M = CD mod N
If you are not used to seeing mod, it means to take the remainder if the number is divided by N. In the first equation, we raise M to the power E and divide the result by N, then store the remainder in C.
Again, M is the number to encrypt and C is the cipher- text number. There are two keys: E is for encryption, while D is for decryption. The best way to think of N is its the box in which the secret is hidden. As an example, say we wish to encrypt the number 6. We choose an encryption key of E=3, a decryption key of D=17 and a box of N=25. You want to send the message M=6 to the bookstore, so the encryption happens like this:
C = 63 mod 25 = 16
When you log in to the on-line bookstore, the seller sends you key E=3 and box N=25 so you can encrypt your credit card number. However, decryption is impossible without knowing that D=17:
M = 1617 mod 25 = 6
Because nobody else knows that D=17, it is impossible for anybody except the bookstore to decrypt messages. Hence, you can contact anybody on the Internet and feel safe that your sensitive info is secure from theft.
This technique is so simple that encoding and decoding for 32-bit numbers can be implemented in a single line of C code. The real complications arise when you ask such questions as "How do I generate an RSA key pair?" or "How large do the numbers need to be for security?". The answers to these questions complicate RSA implementations a hundred times over. The rest of this article illustrates how these obstacles are tackled in the OpenSSL library. You can download the latest version from www.openssl.org. Click on the tab labeled Source to download the latest version (0.9.7b at the time of this writing).
Re: Exploring RSA Encryption in OpenSSL
A little confused at an equation like C = 63 mod 25 = 16. I tried every key with N=25 and M=6, and got it to work. But, when M= any other number, trying to decrypt it fails. Should N be changed?
Re: Exploring RSA Encryption in OpenSSL
M has to be the same as M in the first equation, here, check this out
C = M^E mod N
M = C^D mod N
in the second equation, M is equal to whatever M is in the first equation, so if it is 6, then it would look like this
C = 6^E mod N
6 = C^D mod N
Some Exceptions...
This algo fails for M = 3,5,7 etc.....considering E=3 and N=25 and D=17. Please guide what to do..
Re: Exploring RSA Encryption in OpenSSL
Very good article. I am doing a course in Cryptography and I wanted to have a real-world example of what's been taught. I can very easily understand this and also the other comments.
thanks guys.
Re: A better reference
Practical Cryptography by Schneier and Ferguson is a better
book to read than Applied Cryptography for an accessible
explaination of RSA encryption. If you naively employ
RSA you probably aren't going to get it right. Practical
Cryptography explains about a lot of the things you need
to worry about when using RSA.
Re: Exploring RSA Encryption in OpenSSL
Okay, this was a pretty good explanation as to how RSA works and how to code for it, but it oversimplifies a couple of real-world things.
1. First off, asymmetric systems like RSA are rarely used to pass "user data" like a credit card number. Rather, RSA is used to exchange symmetric keys for algorithms such as DES or AES, since symmetric algorithms are significantly faster to compute.
2. There are several sins of omission in the example of exchanging public keys: "Because nobody else knows that D=17, it is impossible for anybody except the bookstore to decrypt messages. Hence, you can contact anybody on the Internet and feel safe that your sensitive info is secure from theft."
This example completely ignores the man-in-the-middle attack that exists if an adversary is able to substitute HIS public key for one or the other party (Alice or Bob). This is why SSH asks you to kindly verify the public key of the other side before accepting it (which most people do blindly, anyway).
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

I Love New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner
Enter a by-gone era and partake of a slice of Americana when you visit the New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner. The "tin can" style diner was prevalent in the 1940s and '50s, and New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner has been squeezed into its narrow, don't-blink-or-you'll-miss-it location at Northern Boulevard and 49th Street in Jackson Heights since 1949. Patrons can sit in one of seven blue vinyl booths or at the bustling counter, where 15 more hungry people can be served. Whether at booth or counter, the delicious home style food is served fast, hot and delicious from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. Friendly owner Gus Kaloudis, who purchased the historic diner three and a half years ago, greets all his customers with a smile as he hustles behind the counter expediting literally hundreds of orders per day.
As its name suggests, the New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner serves hearty breakfasts all day long. A breakfast special costs just $1.95 and includes two eggs, any style, toast and their famous, home fried potatoes, both crunchy and soft. Even the prices here hark back to a bygone era. The "Big Breakfast" will definitely keep you going till way past lunch with three eggs, bacon or ham or sausage, toast and coffee for just $4.95. Gus brought us a legendary "Wake Up" omelet made with three eggs and ham, bacon and chopped sausage mixed into the fold. This was a fluffy and flavorful omelet, expertly prepared, without any sign of grease at all. "The Booster" is an awesome pastrami omelet with toast and those fabulous home fries and coffee. The "Heart Attack," one of their most popular breakfast sandwiches, piles two eggs, bacon, cheese and potatoes on a jumbo hero roll for an amazing $3.45. I dare you to eat lunch after that! On the flip side, "The Petite" is an egg white omelet served on toast with grapefruit juice for just $2.75.
Kaloudis also had us try a stack of their fluffy pancakes with real blueberries mixed in, topped with sweet, ripe banana slices and a cloud of whipped cream. We drizzled them with Aunt Jemima syrup and devoured them. Next time I'll try the French toast with bacon. The coffee is top notch and the friendly wait staff will keep refilling your cup with no extra charge.
The New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner offers a wide array of lunch items, including hot entrees that will amaze you. Though it was not quite noon, the chef insisted we try the hot lunch entrees. The seafood trio of fresh shrimp, scallops and clams is served over a generous mound of angel hair pasta, cooked perfectly, and topped with a large sprig of garden fresh basil. This dish and the rigatoni primavera, full of fresh vegetables and tender grilled chicken, are just two of the unexpected marvels on the menu here. Baked Boston scrod is served with potato and vegetables for just $6.95 and Yankee pot roast, slow cooked until tender, is just $6.25. Fresh fish, seafood, pork and beef appear in these specials and they are so generously portioned and reasonably priced, that many patrons simply order them to take home for the family supper. Every day the variety of specials changes. Lunch specials are faxed daily to the many businesses in the area. The recipients have to order quickly, though—when they're gone, they're gone.
In addition to the hot entrees, The New York Ham "N Eggery Diner makes incredible salads, such as the "Zorba The Greek", a generous Greek salad, loaded with tomatoes, olives, onions and feta cheese, topped with sliced, grilled chicken. A traditional Cobb salad has turkey, tomatoes and hard cooked egg. Many of their hero sandwiches are named after local businesses whose staffs patronize them each day. The "Home Depot" hero piles hot roast beef and melted mozzarella on a jumbo roll ($5.45). The "Steinway Auto" features pastrami with melted Swiss, fried onions and hot peppers. The "Best Buy" layers turkey with bacon and Swiss.
The New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner grills juicy burgers with all favorite toppings, starting at just $2.95. And what '40s style diner would be complete without a Blue Plate Special? You'll find several here each day, served on the proverbial blue plate. Freshly roasted beef, turkey or chicken comes with potatoes and fresh vegetables for just $6.25. Comfort food such as meatloaf, chopped steak with onions or fish and chips will make you feel like home.
Wake up and go to The New York Ham "N Eggery Diner to try their delicious breakfasts, sandwiches, salads and hot lunch entrees. You'll want to take some home for dinner. They also deliver all day for free. For a trip back to the bygone days of the late '40s and early '50s with prices to match the period décor and food that is out of this world, the New York Ham 'N Eggery Diner is the place.

Does this weather make it easier?
Sleeping was seldom difficult
in a chair while in college
on a subway train
on my back when my leg was in bandages and my knee in tatters
in East coast Summer heat, tortured by mosquitos
in the same room in January, with frost on the inside of the windows
in snow, in a tent, with a Summer weight sleeping bag and no mat
under a hedge in a churchyard in Boston after missing the last train
on a ferry from Brindisi to Athens
on a flight from SanFrancisco to Sydney
None of that scared me
but it was fear that kept me awake
when I couldn't do my homework, in Montessori school and in grad school
being publicly stupid and weak once again as the school year began
knowing that I would hurt her even more than I already had
Sleeping weather is what they call this
When the cool of the evening makes you pull up a blanket for the first time in months
and the smile on your face is the one the cat wears when she sleeps
A stray can sleep anywhere with a smile on its face
what it can't do is go home
I pull her and the blanket closer
we have both strayed
My Miss Cleo smiles when she's sleeping, too. Maybe I do as well--but there's no one here to tell me that.
Thank you. Rated. D

A Commentary on the Tony Snow Job* A BUZZFLASH GUEST CONTRIBUTION The appointment of Fox "News" Channel (F"N"C) propagandist Tony Snow as White House Press Secretary has aroused a lot of comment. For example, very early on, the Center for American Progress drew attention to the fact that for some time now Snow has been a critic of Bush, from the Right. The question was raised, how does that make sense, how could Snow do the job, which supposedly includes defending the President? Well, it all comes down to defining exactly which job Snow was hired to do. In this space I am going to take a short crack at answering that question. First: what the job is surely not, based on how the various Georgite operatives occupying the space have handled it up to now. It is surely not to answer questions forthrightly, honestly, and openly. It is surely not to establish a cooperative relationship between the White House and the media. It is surely not to increase the amount of information made available to the American people about the Executive Branch of their government, how it operates, and what it is doing. So, if we know what it is not, just what is it? There is a series of answers to that question, not all of which will be covered in this space. But understanding them requires first an understanding that when in a Constitutional Democracy a regime is marching towards the substitution of fascism for it, that regime has three main targets: the legislature, the independent judiciary, and the mass media. The right-wing Republican campaign to destroy the independence as well as the public trust of the mass media actually started several decades ago, and has been ramped up significantly under the Georgites. It helps to understand this appointment if it is seen in that context. 1. First, Snow is to revive the old CNN political show "Crossfire," where yelling and screaming was substituted for rational discussion and disagreement over significant political issues. Reduce reporters to jelly by yelling at them, literally or figuratively, whether they yell back or not, is job one. 2. Further demean and disdain the media, treating them as untrustworthy and unimportant. Obfuscate, conceal, distract, distort, and lie, with more skill than any previous holder of the position. 3. Begin the merger of the Privatized Ministry of Propaganda, of which F"N"C is the prime property, into the government. 4. Mollify the right-wing base by having a "Bush critic" in place, a highly visible one. Doing so also makes Bush appear as if he can be subject to criticism, while all the while he is being pushed towards even more far-out positions that in his gut he would actually like to take. 5. Snow is not a "newsman." He is a voice of Radical Right-wing Republicanism. Hiring him clearly demonstrates what the Georgites think that "news" is all about --- as made so clear every day by the F"N"C (which I do watch, folks): PROPAGANDA. The Volkischer Beobachter (the Nazi Party's daily "newspaper") is right around the corner. Steven Jonas *Couldn't resist.

As a former teacher and principal at the elementary level,I think learning to write in cursive is a…Read More very important component in any core curriculum. Besides being a form of structural discipline, good handwriting can help one to exhibit a classy and sophisticated presentation to their advantage on many lifelong occasions. Good handwriting can also be important for essay writing as part of higher education applications.

Under cons I would add that the Common Core cannot be detached from the high stakes testing--CCSS…Read More was written by people all of whom work for testing companies or companies who promoted CCSS in the first place: Achieve, the College Board, ACT, America's Choice, or Student Achievement Partners. Look at the corporate interests behind the need for a standardized curriculum (thanks Pearson) who make millions that rob schools of needed money, Sir Michael Barber a CEO at Pearson, Lou Gerstner who founded Achieve, and CCSS architect David Coleman all worked for global consulting firm McKinsey and Co whose mantra is "big data."

It "seems like just another instance of central government usurping control from local school…Read More government"?!?!? When the states had the $$ carrot waved in front of them and jumped at it and signed on to CCSS, the standards were still in development; states accepted them without having READ them. The Federal Dept of Education (headed by Arne Duncan, who has ZERO teaching degrees OR experience, as do the vast majority of those behind CCSS) is in control of far too much of the content, and of the consequences for not meeting goals.
This leads into yet another "con" which is not addressed: the effect of developmentally inappropriate expectations on children in the early grades. The standards were NOT written with ANY understanding about how kids learn, especially in K-3, which is still Early Childhood; instead of the play-based Kindergarten which is far more developmentally appropriate for this age group (which is hard-wired to learn more through play than through seatwork), even kindergarten kids are now spending hours and hours a day tracing letters and being drilled in math that is far more easily taught in grades 3-5 in the name of "Early Literacy" and "Early Numeracy." This video is a little less than half an hour but goes into lots of detail about why CCSS is not right for younger kids: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vrQbJlmVJZo . If you prefer a written article, see this from The Answer Sheet blog: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/answer-sheet/wp/2013/01/29/a-tough-critique-of-common-core-on-early-childhood-education/
And as far as adding "rigor" to a curriculum - could there possibly BE a more distasteful buzzword when it comes to our children? - here's the definition, a la Merriam-Webster: "1a (1): harsh inflexibility in opinion, temper, or judgment : severity (2) : the quality of being unyielding or inflexible : strictness (3) : severity of life: austerity b: an act or instance of strictness, severity, or cruelty 2: a tremor caused by a chill 3: a condition that makes life difficult, challenging, or uncomfortable; especially : extremity of cold 4: strict precision : exactness 5a obsolete : rigidity, stiffness b: rigidness or torpor of organs or tissue that prevents response to stimuli c: rigor mortis" Definitely NOT the kind of education I want for my children - not even for the children of my worst enemies. :-(

In most cases the victim does deserve some share of the blame. Often by dressing inappropriately,…Read More drinking, etc. I should not have worry about getting my wallet stolen at 2AM in Baltimore City, but if I do, I am partly to blame for putting myself in that situation. Same logic applies to sexual contact.

Can you define "inappropriately"? And can you elaborate on 'etc.'?
Peter Monaghan October 9, 2013 at 10:42 am
Kids? How about the parents? I dread the beginning of the school year. The amount of paperwork and…Read More forms that are sent home for me and my wife is overwhelming! This doesn't include all of the requests for me to participate in various activities. It's overkill. I am still sitting on forms that I-absolutely-have-to-have-back-to-school-by-the-first-week-of-school, or else.

The current salary is more than fair for a part time position. They are already making twice as…Read More much as their counterparts in Anne Arundel, they shouldn't be greedy. Maryland is a federal government spending bust away from being poorer than Mississippi. The local politicians should be preparing for that.

Hmmm. Bad grammar error in post on my part again, sort of makes me look like my education is not so…Read More decent after all...but it is just because of small type and fast response, not because I don't see the errors after posting. Still, I need to be more careful.....know I do enjoy hearing the challenging of my opinions, and I take no personal offense. I feel this is how we know what others think and why we think what we do. In other words I may be more open to crit of system than one may realize.
pam johnson September 30, 2013 at 07:09 pm
I appreciate the debate as well. I hope and pray that I am wrong on all fronts. The utopia you…Read More believe the State is creating cannot succeed. Look at our new national debt levels. This house of cards, full of government subsidies on the backs of hard-working tax payers, has to collapse. Everyone cannot work for and take from the government. Capitalism creates profits, not government. BTW my family and I take no benefits from the state ...including education. But we pay for it in our property taxes. We give and don't take ...anything. And proud of it. I feel sorry for those who are slaves of the State. I pray that me and mine can continue to be independent of that bondage. No more taxes, tracking, intrusive laws, violations of our Constitutional rights, politically correct thought police. Get out of my business Big Bro. Freedom.
jackson October 2, 2013 at 10:29 pm
Ms. Johnson. Thanks for your positive prayers. We all can use that. I do not believe in Utopian…Read More visions or ideals and to me it sounds like you may be more in that camp then I. Capitalism has it's benefits but needs restriction (monopoly, insider trading, etc) and Bill Gates who you rail against wants to impose Capitalism on the way schools operate. You say you give and don't take, hmmmm, it is a nice idea but in fact you do take, we share the same roads, highways, ecosystem, water system, sheriffs dept, police, armies, coast guard, air traffic regulators, postal system, emergency responders, and much more in the way of govt run services without which society could not continue. Yes, we pay for it in taxes and I am fine with that. If you really don't want to have anything to do with any of this then I would assume you would life off the grid somewhere. That said I support and urge you to continue to speak up about your concerns regarding the government and whatever else you feel strongly about. That is one of our freedoms, one that many many people living in other countries don't have. Of course we have to use common sense and follow rules in certain situations, which is where this thread started. I read today the school board will continue it's practice of taking questions by card only, I think this is a mistake, I feel they should have an open forum time with limits on each speaker. As this is a breaking story I urge everyone to jump to that thread with updated comments. May peace be with you all.

JaySmith, the Tea Party are no better than the Republicans they came from, and possibly worse given…Read More they make up their own reality to rage against. I prefer not to be bound by the party lines that have dragged our political system into the dirt. Democrat, Republican, Tea Party, Libertarian, Green... they all create illusory sides without thinking about the individual issues.
FDR might have been a disaster or not; hindsight is always 20/20 and I doubt any of us were alive or that old when he left office. However, if the "New Deal" was so horrible, why wasn't it changed during Ike's administration? I was there during Eisenhower and I remember how much better things seemed. We weren't a rich family and we lived in a rural area, but we certainly weren't doing bad for ourselves even with the tax rate. Things didn't start getting worse until LBJ and Nixon, and then everything went downhill.
Did this steady failure have something to do with FDRs "New Deal"? Possibly. It's just hard to believe that the "evil Democrat machine" was the source, considering a Republican and Democrat were both running things during the height of our economy and both Republicans and Democrats held office as we struggled during the 70's recession and energy crises.
TomP September 26, 2013 at 10:53 am
Amazing how much our education system has decayed from the 50's to the 80's. Let me explain the…Read More fallacy and underlying difference between a socialist system and a relatively free enterprise system such as we once enjoyed in the USA. Under our current system I do indeed have considerable concern for my fellow man. In fact, I personally spend a fair amount of my time and fortune (small as it is) to better the situation of others. The difference is that I do so willingly as best I can and as I see fit. I do so without government intervention and without the bureaucatic overhead and oversight that necessarily exists under a socialist system.
It is wonderful for you to proclaim your unselfish attitude toward your fellow man when in fact what you are doing is simply handing your personal treasure to a government worker who then is charged somehow with doling out your money as he or she sees fit. In fact, you have done absolutely nothing to directly help your fellow man, but you feel better because you have fed the beast so that the beast might find a way to somehow help others. For anyone that can think beyond the end of their nose, this is hardly an efficient system.
Finally, as for my understanding of the difference between knowledge and application, I personally learned about the "application" by voluntarily serving in the military (probably before you were born), following that I worked for decades developing elements of complex systems for use in deep submergence to deep space. I have followed that career at the behest of a recognized authority by trying to give that knowledge base back to the younger generation that will follow in those endeavors.
As for your final disdainful comments, none of which are supported by anything I have written in this forum to date, "methinks thou doest protest to much". Perhaps some of us have touched a nerve you did not wish to have exposed!
JaySmith September 27, 2013 at 05:20 am
C.I. You are a very confused pseudo-intellectual. Yes, most of us who respect our federal…Read More Constitution and what our Founding Fathers wanted/required/designed as a limited federal govt where states could co-exist and compete for best quality of life and business-environments.....would be completely shattered if our fed govt grew to mammoth proportions as it has. And OH YES C.I........the TeaParty branch of the Repub Party is the ONLY HOPE we have of putting some brakes on the federal govt and ramping down its spending, which is UNSUSTAINABLE at nearly $4T/year. You ignore all facts. We have a spending and size problem, but to you, our federal govt needs more goodies and redistribution to the bottom 1/2 or whatever. That ruins what our country was supposed to be. And C.I.....if you want to see where we're headed, just look to France, Italy, Greece, Spain, England.....they're all semi-soclalist countries that have central govt that's far too powerful. And their economies, prosperity-chances, and upward-mobility SUCK. And we're headed there with Obama & the Dems (Reid-led Senate). Those are facts.
Dan Gerlowski September 24, 2013 at 10:56 am
I have read all about this new curriculum. More is changing that just the curriculum. There is an…Read More emphasis on "self" and "group learning" sometimes promoted by technology. That "pedagogy" is not proven, there is no instructions for students on how to learn in groups or by themselves. There is not even discussion about the merits of either the curriculum or the pedagogical approach. The good students who work hard will do okay - you can't teach "smart" and you don't have to teach "smart." The middle and bottom tranches of students, well there is no evidence on their success.

Federal agencies are under pressure from Congress and the White House to consolidate their IT infrastructure as a way to reduce costs, streamline operations and rationalize their technology resources. But when it comes to storage systems, that's easier said than done.
Consolidation efforts can get bogged down by problems with technology integration, overly-complex storage architecture, and cost overruns. And even once complete, a consolidated storage infrastructure is not necessarily more cost-effective.
In this webcast, federal agencies will learn how an enterprise-wide approach to storage management can simplify the consolidation process and help optimize the storage environment for both cost-effectiveness and performance.

State seized property is a boon! They went after an investment group in Branson, sued and got 1.5 million from Ozark Ticket and Travel, (still in business thankfully for the million dollars) they also seized 3 or 4 prominent hotels, handed out more million dollar fines with short jail sentences to the group in charge of raising the investment money, then kept all the revenue for the state.
Not one victim/investor got a dime of the millions the state took. The state of MO never attempted to sell the hotels and keeps them in operation collecting all the revenue. While the investors were told, sorry but we stopped the scam. Only thing is, it was not a scam. Seizing property is a scam.
And they call who crooks?

Inspired by recent efforts made in the Kansas City community to send supplies and donations to the typhoon-ravaged Philippines, we have partnered up with the Uptown Arts Bar and united a diverse mix of local performers for a single cause—to bring hope after Haiyan by raising awareness and funds for the lives affected by the typhoon.
The show will take place on Friday, December 6th at 9PM (I know it says 9:30PM above, but it's really 9PM) at the Uptown Arts Bar located at 3611 Broadway Street, Kansas City, MO 64111.
This will be an all ages show. Admission is a $7 suggested donation, with all proceeds going towards the relief efforts made by Gawad Kalinga, whose mission is to build communities to end poverty in the Philippines. The bar will also be donating 10% of their sales that night.
Guest performers include:
- Charles Lerwick
- Xanath Caraza
- Price Wright & One Voice
- Allen Arias - Hide in the Shallows
- The Pepper Sprouts
- Barclay Martin
Through this event, we hope to use the power of music and the arts to unite the community and bring hope for others.

"While a horde of semi-trucks were required to bring in the massive stage and sound construction for Kanye West and his giant performance at the Sprint Center last night, Jeff Tweedy took the opposite route and kept it simple, bringing only himself and two acoustic guitars to the Uptown."
Well, then clearly Tweedy is no "creative genius" like Yeezus is. Just kidding.
I've never really understood the Tweedy/Wilco cult following. I never heard anything from any of them that rose above the level of bland mediocrity.
That being said, one of the ballsiest performances I've ever seen was Dan Fogelberg warming up for Linda Ronstadt and the Eagles at a packed Arrowhead Stadium with nothing but a microphone and an acoustic guitar because his band's bus with all of the band members and their equipment broke down en route.
So I admire any performer who has the balls to bring nothing to the stage but their voice and guitar and entertain a crowd of paying (exorbitant prices) fans and send them away happy.
Very biased and dubious article. Popularity isn't black and white. Let time itself determine whether a genre is truly dead. Furthermore, artists like Toro Y Moi and Washed Out are bigger than ever as of 2013. They've both released two albums since this article was written and have set foot on many successful tours. You spoke too soon my friend.

If people are so concerned about payday loans and the effect they have on the community think about the 2,000+ people employed in the KC metro area by these companies and what impact it would have on the community if the all shut their doors.
"Nice Mercedes! Was that from payday loan money? High five/chest bump! #respect" - said no one ever
@Kristin - NO ONE IS JEALOUS OF THESE PEOPLE! We are simply commenting that we do not agree with them "investing" in payday loan operations which take advantage of the lowest common denominator. Saying "here are payday loan operations on ever other block and countless options online" is pointless. Just because someone else is doing something doesn't make it morally right.
@joe - so the author is unethical for posting truths about unethical business practices and following the money? gotcha. trust me, if he wanted to go deeper into the family and church side of these ordeal, he certainly could have because there is a lot more to this than he even exposed. I find it ridiculous that you believe his work unethical yet you have no problem with these businessmen exploiting the desperately impoverished.

'I would recommend this book to psychologists working in the field of ASD who want a clear and well argued introduction to a subject which although undoubtedly controversial deserves serious attention.'
- Dr. Bob Walley, Consultant Clinical Psychologist
'This densely informative book is a comfort to read. One can browse or follow through. The index is enormous and useful. Definitions are strengthened. Gene and brain variations are covered and the nature/nurture interaction exposed.'
- The Galton Institute Newsletter
'This is a well- written user- friendly book. The key points at the end of the chapters give a helpful summary. The book presents a comprehensive overview of the aetiological factors in autistic disorders with extensive bibliography... Richard Lathe makes an excellent case for the interplay of factors and gives an unbiased presentation of the available evidence for all the possible hypotheses in the causation of autistic syndromes. The section on the impact of heavy metal toxicity is particularly interesting... This is an important book that brings together all the current issues in the aetiology of autistic disorders. The chapter on biomedical therapy, subtyping and interventions gives possible ways forward in management which may seem well worth adapting in clinical practise. This is a must- read book for trainees in psychiatry and paediatrics and for practitioners in the field.'

I was curious to know how I can round a number to the nearest tenth whole number. For instance, if I had:
int a = 59 / 4;
which would be 14.75 calculated in floating point; how can I store the number as 15 in "a"?
This only works when assigning to an int as it discards anything after the '.' | |||||||||||||||||||||
I believe this works even with large (positive) integers:
Note that for even integers you subtract denominator/2 before doing the division and adding the missing one back in. For odd integers this ends up rounding too early so you need to subtract (denominator/2 + 1). This macro just adds the lsb of the denominator to take care of difference in the odd vs even case. for Negative integers, I think this should work
combining the 2 into a single macro is left as an exercise to the reader ;-) | ||||

The above answer is technically correct but will overflow prematurely. You should instead use something like this:
I assume that you are really trying to do something more general:
x + (y-1) has the potential to overflow giving the incorrect result; whereas, x - 1 will only underflow if x = min_int... | |||||||||||||||||
eg 59/4 Quotient = 14, tempY = 2, remainder = 3, remainder >= tempY hence quotient = 15; | |||||||||
As written, you're performing integer arithmetic, which automatically just truncates any decimal results. To perform floating point arithmetic, either change the constants to be floating point values:
Or cast them to a
Either way, you need to do the final rounding with the | |||||
The standard idiom for integer rounding up is:
You add the divisor minus one to the dividend. | |||||||||||||||||||||
