If you live in Arizona you are in luck, Arizona has the best knife laws of all 50 states. There are no illegal pocket knives in Arizona. Basically, you can own any type of blade you want and carry it concealed or in the open without worry. There are no municipal laws so you won't have to worry about cops the next town over harassing you for something that is legal in your home town.
What is Legal/Illegal in Arizona
- Pocket knives are legal.
- Balisong knives are legal.
- Switchblades, gravity knives, Bowie knives, and stilettos are legal.
- Knives of any length are legal.
- It is legal for anyone over 21 to carry knives concealed.
- It is illegal to not inform a police officer when they stop you that you are carrying a concealed knife when the knife is not a pocket knife.
- It is illegal for someone under 21 years of age to carry a non-pocket knife concealed.
- It is illegal to bring a knife into schools.
Outside of what is listed above, it is illegal to use a knife to commit a behavior that is already illegal. What this means is that it is illegal to rob a bank with a knife and you will be penalized more severely than if you robbed a bank without a weapon. You can read the law here.
Removal of Municipal Knife Laws in 2011
In the old days, the State of Arizona had its own knife laws and individual cities would have their own knife laws as well. The result was that people were being charged with having illegal knives that are 100% legal in their home town.
In 2011 the State of Arizona preempted all municipal laws and, basically, made every type of knife legal. The new code was based off of the fact that the majority of knife owners used their knives as tools rather than weapons. The old laws were harming innocent citizens instead of criminals and were finally changed.
Conclusion on Arizona Knife Laws
If you are from Arizona, go buy Balisongs, gravity knives, Bowies, stilettos, and whatever else you want: you live in the coolest state in America. Just don't use it for a crime.
I am not an attorney so take this article with a grain of salt. I am just a law student. Also, this is not legal advice, talk to an attorney if you want that.
Do you have any questions? Post it in the comment section below. We are also looking for an Arizona attorney who would like to do an interview about Arizona knife laws.

Through technology, "a significant and welcome change" is being made in simplifying family history work, said Elder Marlin K. Jensen of the Seventy, addressing the BYU Family History and Genealogy Conference devotional Aug. 1.
The new technology, an Internet-based system being developed by the Church, will consolidate software products and eliminate duplication, said Elder Jensen, executive director of the Family and Church History Department and Church historian/recorder.
About 650 people attended the 38th Annual BYU Family History and Genealogy Conference held Aug. 1-4, with the theme, "Strengthening Ties that Bind Families Together Forever." Sixty-seven presenters taught more than 120 classes.
The new technology system was mentioned by President Gordon B. Hinckley in October 2005 general conference, in which he said: "One of the most troublesome aspects of our temple activity is that as we get more and more temples scattered across the earth there is duplication of effort in proxy work. People in various nations simultaneously work on the same family lines and come up with the same names. . . . . The solution lies in complex computer technology. Preliminary indications are that it will work, and if this is so, it will be a truly remarkable thing with worldwide implications."
Elder Jensen continued, "Where possible, we want to make temple and family history work conveniently available to members in their own homes, or at nearby family history centers in those areas of the world where technology is not yet readily available in homes."
The goal is to "use the technology with which the Lord has blessed us to support processes that will enable all members, worldwide, to experience success and find joy in this work without needing to be expert genealogists or skilled technologists."
Components of the new system are built around what is called a "common pedigree" that will begin with the user's name and that of his or her ancestors who have been identified and data submitted to the system, Elder Jensen explained. "Members will be able to tell at a glance if temple work has been completed or needs to be done for ancestors in the system. Any other relatives who are interested in the same lines will see the same information," he said, thus allowing relatives to work together, reducing both unnecessary temple work and duplicate research.
More support will also be provided to members locally, instead of mostly at Church headquarters. An updated "Temple and Family History" section of the Church Handbook of Instructions suggests that family history consultants will receive more training and have more online resources that will enable them to take a more active role in supporting members' efforts in family history work.
Over time, the Church's vast collections will be made available online. First, the Church's 2.4 million rolls of microfilm are being scanned into a digital format. Second, the collection of additional records is being done with digital cameras instead of microfilm cameras.
However, all digitized records will need to be described and indexed before being made available on the Internet, said Elder Jensen.
Family Search Indexing is a new research system being created from the indexes of these records. It will contain names, dates, places and other vital genealogical information.
"The indexes will also link the searcher directly to the digital images of original birth certificates, marriage licenses or other relevant documents," said Elder Jensen. "The software for this system is very user friendly and contains all of the tools and instructions one needs to be an efficient and successful extractor. Designed to eventually replace the current program of Family Record Extraction, Family Search Indexing will allow users to participate in extraction work in the convenience of their own homes, at any time of day, and contribute as little or as much work as time permits."
Through this system, various members of the genealogical community can partner to create indexes for use by all.
"This new and vastly improved approach to extraction work has recently been made available in most Utah stakes that were participating in Family Record Extraction," said Elder Jensen. "If you are not yet a participant, I invite those of you who live in Utah to contact your stake family record extraction director, or if you live outside Utah, to visit the website at familysearchindexing.org to register and participate in a volunteer-based project."
He expects that online assistance will eventually be made available to guide researchers to the most pertinent documents for their research.
"I testify that the hand of the Lord is in these changes and I know they will bless both the living researchers and the deceased recipients of sacred ordinances."
Family history research and temple work are inseparably connected, he said, indicating the family history research should be the primary source for names for temple ordinances.
"In the commercial vernacular, family history 'ships' and the temples 'receive,' " he said.
Elder Jensen commended family history enthusiasts, such as those in attendance at the BYU conference, and said their example gives "much needed hope to those who once stood or still stand on the outside of family history looking in."
"Even in this age of exploding technology, the human element is and always will be the key ingredient in a successful program of family history."
He encouraged each family history researcher to become a mentor to others, to bear "pure testimony" to help foster increased family history research.
"When we do family history and temple work. . . we also participate in a work calculated to help us learn to love and serve others as our Savior loves and serves them. The ultimate reward we receive in doing family history work is to be found in the relationship and feelings we develop for those for whom we stand as proxy or saviors on Mt. Zion or in the temple," he said.

Source: Chef/owner Howie Kleinberg, Bulldog Barbecue
Howie "Bulldog" Kleinberg got his nickname from the bold attitude he projected as a contestant on TV's Top Chef. He fell in love with barbeque after spending summers in North Carolina as a boy. Now Kleinberg is cooking up hunks of meat at his very own BBQ restaurant—along with this southern comfort shrimp dish. It's a classic "shrimp and grits" with a kick of Bulldog's Best barbecue sauce and white cheddar cheese.

3 oz. extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 oz. Bulldog's Best barbecue sauce (or favorite of the house)
2 oz. chopped garlic, divided

4 oz. diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 oz. heavy cream
1 oz. butter
3 oz. white cheddar cheese, shredded
1 oz. chopped parsley
4 oz. sliced scallions
- Combine shrimp with 1½ oz. olive oil and barbecue sauce. Set aside to marinate for 4 hr.
- Heat large saucepan over med. heat. Add remaining 1 1/2 oz. olive oil, 1 oz. chopped garlic and 1 oz. shallots. Cook, stirring frequently, until translucent.

MSI issues a press release this morning praising a Taiwanese overclocker called Alvinkenzo that managed to overclock the AMD FX-8350 (Vishera) processor to 8370.93MHz. This is a world record for this processor model and was done using the MSI 990FXA-GD80 motherboard and lots of liquid nitrogen. The AMD FX-8350 processor has a base clock of 4GHz, so this world record overclock is more than double the base clock of the processor. Notice that Alvinkenzo disabled 6 of the 8 cores in order to reach this overclock. The CPU voltage was 2.04V along with a base frequency of 270.3MHz with a 31x multiplier. You can check out the CPU-Z validation here under ID 2583343.
MSIs AM3+ mainboards support the latest AMD Vishera processors. In support of this fact is the recent overclocking record on the MSI 990FXA-GD80 which hit the 8.37GHz mark with an FX-8350 processor, making it the fastest processor AMD FX-8350 in the world.

Orphium — a concentrate of clear creative thought, unpolluted illusion, altered consciousness undistorted by anyones perception.
The Orphium frames collection is our dedication and vision of works of one of the most prominent figures of the avant-garde 20's of the last century, Sonia Delaunay, an artist and designer with Russian roots.
Being a revolutionary spirit, Sonia Delaunay, during the era of radical innovations in art and became the progenitor to "Orphism", a new trend in abstract painting.
Her "Orphic Paintings", vibrating as living organisms, concentric circles, "poem-dresses", and colour rhythms of an "optical dress". All that is a single story about going beyond the visible boundaries of the surrounding world, about the desire to extract a pure visual concentrate.
FAKBYFAK Orphium frames are designed with direct and underlying references to the Orphist ideas. Through this collection, we tell our story of the desire to go beyond the boundaries of the visible, to change shape through refraction of colour, light and creation of optical illusion. It is a search for own reality, multi-dimensional, bright and free of all conventional stereotypes.
The collection consists of 3 shapes and available in 4 colour combinations, both in sun and optical versions.
Limited edition collection highlighted by Vogue Italia.

Even if it's too early to say the recession has completely ended for the United States, there's a growing consensus among economists that we're past the bottom of the trough. There's also general agreement that the whopping $787-billion stimulus package, known formally as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), has not done what it was supposed to do get the economy moving.
While certain statistics may signal a waning recession, average Americans are not feeling it. Unemployment remains high at close to 10 percent and home foreclosures continue at a record pace. The unemployment rate doesn't include the 3.7-million-plus people who are reluctantly working only part time because of the poor labor market, and it doesn't include the workers who have given up scouring want ads for seemingly nonexistent jobs. When those people are added to the numbers, the real unemployment rate rises to 15.6 percent, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
Nearly seven months after the economic stimulus package was passed, only about 12 percent of the spending portion of the $787-billion package—$288 billion is tax cuts—has been given out. The limited capacity of government to swiftly push stimulus funds into the economy has contributed to a backlash in public support for health-care reform, with its estimated $1.3-trillion price tag.
A central problem, which the American Iron and Steel Institute (AISI) leadership indicated at the time the details of the stimulus package were being developed, is that too small a portion of it was dedicated to infrastructure projects, the type of contracts that directly generate jobs while making much-needed improvements to America's transportation system. Funds directed to education or social programs do not serve to stimulate the economy, yet a significant portion of the dollars spent thus far have gone to those types of projects, including child care and food stamps.
Although some stimulus funds were targeted toward infrastructure, little of that money has made its way into the economy. The Transportation Department and the Energy Department, for example, have spent less than 2 percent of the more than $45 billion each was allocated. And once the money is awarded, recipients will need time to bid out the work. Unfortunately, in the early going most infrastructure-related stimulus funds have been doled out for road resurfacing, pothole repair and other immediate needs that are not of the longer-term, jobs-producing type of contracts.
Another challenge to the success of the stimulus package is that the logical "Buy American" provision, which requires that projects favor U.S.-made iron and steel as well as other manufactured goods, was met by some of our trading partners with a negative outcry. It seems like simple common sense that "Buy American" provisions should help generate demand for U.S.-produced materials and create American jobs, exactly what a stimulus plan is supposed to do with U.S. taxpayers' dollars.
Perhaps because the Chinese just went ahead and launched its own $586-billion stimulus program and quickly funneled Chinese funds directly into construction projects using Chinese-made materials but without calling it "Buy China," they escaped the kind of global scrutiny to which the United States has been subjected. One defender of "Buy American" suggests that Congress should have called it something closer to what it is supposed to do, such as the "American Stimulus Provision."
Because the Obama administration was slow to respond and position the "Buy American" provision properly, it unfortunately enabled the Europeans and others to incorrectly characterize Americans as protectionist despite the fact that "Buy American" provisions in the economic stimulus package are consistent with U.S. international obligations. Not until five months had passed did we see Secretary of State Hillary Clinton defend "Buy American" restrictions in the U.S. economic stimulus legislation at a June 13 meeting with Canada's foreign affairs minister. More recently, President Obama spoke up at the "Three Amigos" summit Aug. 10 in Mexico and reiterated that the "Buy American" clause is legal within existing trade agreements and does not threaten America's trading partners.
It's interesting that a number of newspapers have been slow to point out in regard to Canadians' complaints about the "Buy American" provisions that they have only themselves to blame because the Canadian provinces never signed onto the federal trade procurement agreement between the U.S. and Canada negotiated in the mid-1990s. For example, this fact is only pointed out in the last few paragraphs of a 15-paragraph Aug. 13 story in the Washington Post headlined "'Buying American' Puts Strain on U.S. Trade with Canada." If you work your way down to paragraph 12, the reporter reveals that Canada's federal government, at the time that the World Trade Organization's Procurement Agreement and the North American Free Trade Agreement (Nafta) were negotiated, exempted its provinces from coverage, thus excluding them from U.S. state procurement markets (a function of reciprocity).
The office of the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR), by the way, has made clear that it is willing to discuss a deal with Canada, but that any deal must be reciprocal. Its recent statement noted, "USTR is always willing to sit down with our trading partners to discuss access to our procurement market when they are ready to enter agreements with specific commitments to provide reciprocal opportunities for U.S. goods, services and suppliers."
But let's get back to the logic of making transportation and infrastructure projects part of the stimulus package as a way to achieve economic headway. The steel industry is just beginning to see contracts being awarded throughout the states for projects funded with ARRA dollars. For the most part, they are not generating huge demand. For example, a truss bridge replacement project in Lewis, W.Va., requires 98 tons of steel; another in Portage Kent, Ohio, will use 270 tons of steel; and four bridge replacement projects in Kalamazoo-Portage, Mich., will use 1,510 tons of steel. Probably the best example of a favorable impact is in North Carolina, where 2,900 tons of structural steel will be used in the state's bridge projects partially as a result of the ARRA funding
The stimulus package, while helpful in the long run, will probably not provide the bump that many people anticipated for steel construction. That is why we are not seeing a more decided boost in steel demand thus far. Since the stimulus was more of a jobs bill, it will more likely be 2010 when we see contracts for long-span bridges and more sizable building projects get under way with a resulting impact on steel construction.
While I don't want to discount the stimulus funding, we shouldn't encourage any thinking that it can substitute for full funding of the next surface transportation bill. The stimulus was helpful, but it isn't a panacea for U.S. infrastructure needs or the steel industry. It was only a good start.
The AISI continues to actively lobby for swift passage of the Surface Transportation Authorization Act at a robust funding level in a timely manner. Some members of the Senate and the administration are pushing for an ill-advised 18-month extension of current law. This uncertainty is causing state transportation departments to delay moving forward with major projects.
A six-year reauthorization of funding now of transportation infrastructure needs (highways, bridges, waterways, rail, aviation and pipelines) would ensure the United States has an effective and efficient infrastructure system. The surface transportation bill would provide the federal funds for infrastructure projects that generate jobs and revenue at the state and local level. That, in turn, would have a positive impact on a wide array of individuals from steel producers, to suppliers, to manufacturers of goods, all which will aid in the recovery of our national economy.

"I love color combos because they expand your 'accessories' to accent what you wear and tell your personal style," says celebrity manicurist Elle. "Denim is always big, so using two colors like Dermelect's 'Pristine' on hands and 'Phenom' on toes can be your inspiration for denim, or any blue that was on the runway. Corals and mint green combos are a big take on combos this season as well!"

No, seriously, thumbs up on that excellent decision. You get a cookie. Shove it in your mouth so the sugar jumpstarts your brain a bit, you freaking dumbasses."
Funny i thought this was gonna b another tedious anti wii u article but infact its the exact opposite.
All i know is im (probably) only going to live once so while im here im goin to enjoy myself and buy what seems fun so yes ive preordered a wii u with zombie u and assassins creed 3! cant bloody wait!
I am waiting for Assassins Creed 3 for Wii U, for a couple of reasons. One it will be In 1080p on Wii U and two the no pause weapons switching. So HOPEFULLY it will be better than the other versions. I will also say I am very happy that the fanboys that were talking smack two months ago saying the Wii U could not do games like that in 1080p have finally shut up. Wii U people took crap for way too long now the fanboys have been proven wrong. Even though they argued and treated us like crap. Now it is them who have been TREATED! :)
Why the @#$% would you preorder a wii u? Because you want one. BOOM. DONE.
This was a fantastic read with some excellent points. Now if everyone people would remove there heads from there asses and stop complaining we could finally move along.

Bachelor's Degree in Three Years
Students are able to save as much as $25,000 by opting for a plan to earn a bachelor's degree in three years at Clarkson University. This option is open to students in the top 10 percent of their high school class. Approximately 40 percent of current Clarkson students are in this category. The mechanics of the three-year bachelor of science degree call for students to earn 108 credits by taking six courses each semester. The remaining 12 credits will comprise a combination of advanced placement (AP) credits achieved during high school (approximately 30 percent of Clarkson students now enter the University with AP credits) and special projects conducted over one or two summer sessions.

A free booklet about the life of Louisiana's John Brooks Henderson will be given to the first 100 people who attend "The Forgotten Emancipator."
The two-act, 90-minute play will be staged at 7 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 19, at the Louisiana Masonic Temple, Seventh and Georgia, during Colorfest.
There is no admission charge. Doors will open at 6 p.m., with Civil War era music performed by Judy Schmidt.
Play author Brent Engel calls the free distribution of the booklet a way to commemorate the production and the significance of the man it brings to life.
"This will be the only chance to get a free copy," Engel said. "The plan is to sell the remaining booklets. All proceeds will be dedicated to the promotion of future Henderson events. In the next decade, there are a lot of Henderson-related anniversaries that will be celebrated."
The play and booklet showcase Henderson's co-authorship of the 13th Amendment outlawing slavery, dealings with Native Americans, the impeachment of President Andrew Johnson, the prosecution of tax cheats as part of the Whiskey Ring and the fight for women's voting rights.
"Henderson has been overlooked by history and I find that appalling," Engel said. "This remarkable man was deeply involved in issues that we're still dealing with today – race relations, constitutional rights and changes to unworkable laws."
Engel used more than 30 sources in documenting Henderson, including the Library of Congress, the National Archives, books, magazines, newspapers, case studies and even a college master's thesis.
"The only fictional character is the part of the Town Crier, who sets the scene at the beginning of each segment," he said. "The only fictional lines are that of the Town Crier and the slave auctioneer. Everything else is a direct quote from documented historical records. Even the slave auction is taken directly from a description of the event."
The play starts very dramatically, and the high stakes continue throughout.
"This is no politically-correct production," Engel said. "I don't gloss over anything, and I wouldn't do that. Henderson was not immune to the immorality of his time, just as all of us share at least part of the blame for the degradations of today. I know it's uncomfortable to discuss slavery and the treatment of Native Americans, but how can we make things better if we don't understand where we've been?"
There are a couple of lighter moments, however.
"Henderson and President Abraham Lincoln were good friends, and Lincoln tells Henderson a funny story that plays upon the name of the senator's friend, David P. Dyer," Engel said.
During 10 months of research, Engel found words from Henderson that just as easily could have been used today.
"During the Whiskey Ring scandal, Henderson wondered aloud why elected officials would remain in office if they couldn't do so honorably," Engel said. "I find that remarkably applicable to what's going on in Washington today. Of course, we're responsible for sending them there, so maybe the blame's on us. Like Henderson, there are some lawmakers today who are standing up for us."
One legislator who did come through for the production was Republican U.S. Rep. Sam Graves, who on Sept. 25 read a message into the Congressional Record on the floor of the House honoring Henderson. Graves called the former senator "a quintessential pioneer man."
Republican State Rep. Jim Hansen of Frankford said similar acknowledgements were forthcoming through him in the Missouri House and Republican State Sen. Brian Munzlinger of Williamstown in the Senate.
Engel said the goal of the play is to get people talking again about Henderson, who died 100 years ago. But the author also hopes to ignite an interest in history and how it applies to the present.
"There's so much I had to leave out of this production," Engel said. "Henderson was widely recognized as a mesmerizing speaker. Unfortunately, he didn't write an autobiography. But he did leave behind a wealth of words that deserve study. Many of his speeches are available for sale online, and you can find plenty of his statements free in the online edition of the Congressional Globe."
Following are the principal cast members:
• John Brooks Henderson: Bart Niedner.
• President Abraham Lincoln: Brian King.
• Henderson's friend David P. Dyer: Jeremy Lile.
• Young David P. Dyer: Seth Lile.
• Town Crier: Leo Pratte.
• Ulysses S. Grant: Greg Loveshe.
• Rebel Col. Jefferson Jones: Steve Yager.
• Suffragist Virginia Minor: Cindye Jones.
• Tad Lincoln: Adam Engel.
• Narrator: Brent Engel.
• Several actors will perform smaller roles.

The Republican-controlled Wisconsin state Senate is looking at toughening requirements of those watching lawmakers debate from public galleries.
Republican Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald said Friday, Jan. 11, that new rules are being considered that would institute penalties for people who are cited for misbehavior in the galleries and in committee meetings.
The Assembly on Thursday approved new rules that call for people violating rules of the gallery to be removed after the first infraction and barred from the Assembly for the remainder of the two-year session on the third offense.
Fitzgerald says the Senate is considering similar changes as well as listing behavior that is not permitted in the galleries. He says his primary concern is protecting senators.
The Senate is scheduled to take up the changes Tuesday, Jan. 15.

In addition, Tech has reached this milestone every season during head coach Paul Dill's 11-year tenure.
Amanda Morris recorded a solid all-around performance for MIT as she totaled 27 assists, 14 digs, three blocks, and two aces. Frances Rogoz posted a match-high 10 kills while Briana Stephenson added nine. Ellen Sojka tallied seven kills on 11 errorless attempts for a .636 hitting percentage. Stephenson paced MIT's blocking corps with four as Alexandra Huston-Carico contributed three total blocks. Carrie Buchanan collected 15 digs while Alex May notched nine. May and Cathy Melnikow led all servers with three aces apiece.
Katie Dooley posted a team-high nine kills for Wheaton (2-15, 1-4 NEWMAC) while Tonia Smith finished with eight kills and two blocks. Allison Reichentahl paced the Lyons with 14 digs as Sarah Oster contributed 12 of her own. Alexis Liesman and Lauren Smith shared setting duties, distributing eight and seven assists, respectively.
MIT will resume action on Tuesday, Oct. 10 against NEWMAC foe U.S. Coast Guard Academy while Wheaton will travel to Bates College this weekend to compete in the Midcoast Classic.

Remember "The Talk" — when Mom or Dad sat you down to explain the facts of life?
Well, it may be time for you to initiate "The Talk" again, but focusing this time not on how life begins but how it should end, even if that end is not for several decades yet.
"I hope people will recognize there are things they should think about today to plan for their future,'' said Nancy Orel, director of the gerontology program at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. "I rarely hear people say, 'I can't wait until I'm old.' I hear people say, 'I can't wait until I retire,' but that's an ending, and they have to reinvent themselves."

"Berkeley ponders Telegraph Ave. upgrade"? Well,maybe
This just in: Absolutely Nothing Happened.
Nothing. Zilch. Nada .
Film at 11: presumably blank.
Yet another posse riding into town to save Telegraph turned out to be a few old guys riding sagging nags.
If you're one of the old-timers who still reads the print Chronicle at home, you may have seen the big photo above the fold in Thursday's paper, complete with big headline:
Seedy Street may blossom
Telegraph Avenue changes ahead
It was accompanied by breathless prose:
Telegraph Avenue, in all its scruffy 1960s revolutionary glory, is headed for a 21st century overhaul. And - hang on to your Mao hat - that probably means more chain stores. Determined to clean up the iconic strip south of the UC campus, Berkeley Mayor Tom Bates is embarking on a makeover of Telegraph Avenue, looking at everything from traffic laws to the retail mix. The first step is a community gathering with neighbors, merchants, students, city staff and others to figure out what's wrong with Telegraph and how it can be saved.Okay, I admit it, I'm a sucker. This community gathering was even touted on the jump page as a "brainstorming" session.
What's that? Ask Aunty Wikipedia:
"Brainstorming is a group or individual creativity technique by which efforts are made to find a conclusion for a specific problem by gathering a list of ideas spontaneously contributed by its member(s)."
NOT! I know. I foolishly sacrificed a perfectly good Thursday night to what turned out to be an interminable parade of illegible Power Points delivered by the usual suspects, emceed by Berkeley's Mayor-for-life Tom Bates, now in his eleventh year of presiding over not-much-happening. What didn't happen last night was brainstorming.
The event was scheduled from 6 to 7:30 in the auditorium of Willard Middle School, which is on Telegraph just south of the commercial strip. But when Bates took the mike about 6:15, he announced a whole string of speakers intended to provide background on what's up these days with Telegraph, presumably aimed at attendees who hadn't been there lately.
Since I'd been suckered about a year ago into attending a similar gathering in a Telegraph-area church, that one billed as a "charette", just about everything these folks had to say was not new to me, nor presumably to many of those present, quite of few of whom I recognized as the usual suspects, planning addicts who believe in the face of all evidence that well-paid staff planners might sometime take their opinions seriously.
This category includes most of the city council members, only one of whom even showed up at this meeting. That one, Councilmember Kriss Worthington, is not so easily fooled. He pointed out that the council had passed—unanimously, three years in a row—a resolution calling for legal changes to allow building-based merchants to vend their wares from sidewalk tables, as their counterparts can in Santa Cruz and many other cities, and it still hadn't been implemented by city staff.
(Sidebar for political paranoids: Also present, though silent, was one Ces Rosales, who ran against Kriss in 2010, endorsed by Bates, and might be planning a 2014 run. Could this meeting be a play to set her up?)
The mayor's beloved alma mater held center stage, as usual. Once again, a U.C. planner showed architectural drawings too dim to be read from the audience which outlined what was going on with the big construction project on Bancroft which has seriously disrupted Telegraph activities.
Noteworthy was her characterization, which I'd heard a year ago from someone, maybe her, of U.C.'s Lower Sproul Plaza as a disaster. Well, I tend to agree with her, since all I've seen it used for recently is group dance moves in which students seem to be channeling robots, but just for the record I'd like to recall that the old Chronicle's Pulitzer-Prize-winning architectural critic Alan Temko characterized Lower Sproul as being a close second to Venice's Piazza San Marco as a thriving public space.
Then there was the ubiquitous Matt Taecker, the consultant who authored the city's Downtown Plan, most recently seen as the paid advocate for the first developer who's stepped up to exploit the concessions in said plan. He primarily re-iterated the charrette results, such as they were, with the main achievement in the elapsed year seemly seducing U.C. into funding the addition of a bunch of fairy lights along the Ave in the not too distant future.
And also, the obligatory city employee from the Office of Economic Development, who presented another illegible Power Point graph revealing that [*SURPRISE*] sales on Telegraph are down. Yes, sure, and also, which he did mention but did not stress, bookstores and record stores all over the country have lost out to Amazon and the like, and also we have been experiencing a national recession, right? No amount of fairy lights on Telly will reverse these trends.
He also kvetched about the number of vacancies in retail storefronts, and opined that maybe more clothing stores, perhaps some chains, might do the trick. Well, whatever happened to the Gap, which used to be there didn't it? And when we had a high-tech start-up on the second floor of the building which now houses Rasputin's, there was a Southern California clothing chain, Miller's Outpost, on the first floor, which was a dismal flop even during the Clinton boom years.
All in all, these tedious presentations lasted until at least 7:15, leaving only a quarter of an hour for any possible "brainstorming" which might have engaged the restless audience. It peaked at about 100, including many obvious professional staffers paid to be there, but by the time they got a chance to speak most of the liveliest civic activists I recognized had left, probably dangerously bored.
Perhaps ten people lined up at the open mike for their three minutes of "spontaneous creative activity", recorded for posterity by someone's TV cameras. The crazy quotient didn't rise above about 20%, which is pretty good for gatherings of this kind in Berkeley, but what most of the others had to say was unremarkable.
A woebegone student who claimed to have sunk his student loans and tuition money into launching a food truck venture lamented that he'd been evicted from Bancroft and Telegraph by the U.C. construction there. A neighborhood mom wished for more retail that didn't feature tattoos and chains. An artist street vendor wished that vendors and in-store retailers could just get along.
The elephant in the room was the key intersection of Haste and Telegraph, where three out of the four corners are now unoccupied because of two fires and the failure of Cody's Books. One of the fires, destroying the Berkeley Inn, happened 27 years ago, during the last 10 of which Tom Bates has been mayor, and nothing has been built in its place.
Two of the three parcels are owned by Ken Sarachan (whose rehabbed Rasputin's building on the next corner coincidentally added carvings of elephants.) Ken's interaction with the city of Berkeley reminds me of Uncle Remus's story about the Wonderful Tar Baby.
Bre'r Fox made a baby out of tar to snare the unsuspecting Bre'r Rabbit. In the version of the story I know, it's not revealed whether or not Bre'r Fox ever ate Bre'r Rabbit, but the refrain is "Bre'r Fox, he lay low" while he watched Bre'r Rabbit getting stuck.
Ken lay low in the audience last night, chatting with key players but not saying anything, nor was he invited to do so as far as I could determine. Yet his plans for his two sites, along with some for the third corner where the Sequoia burned down, have recently gotten a good bit of publicity and might even be making their way through the approval process. Putting appropriate buildings there would do a great deal to make Telegraph more vital. Are his plans tar babies, or the real deal?
Someone somewhere seems to have a new stake in what will happen on Telegraph. The Chronicle piece reeked of some semi-sophisticated public relations person feeding the Telly revival story to a gullible reporter. At least one parallel gushy promotional preview appeared on TV Channel 7's online page and perhaps even on television, though that could have just been a "rip and read" phenomenon, television re-reporting what was in the morning papers.
The most intelligent comments of the evening, crisply delivered within his allotted three minutes, came from frequent Planet contributor Steve Finacom, who walks the length of the Telegraph commercial strip at least twice every day on his way to work. He challenged the theory that there are excessive vacancies with actual observational data, supported by a two-page handout complete with spreadsheet, which documented a very respectable 89% occupancy rate. He's promised to supply his analysis for Planet readers, including his spreadsheet and other cogent observations, so watch for them in this space.
But don't expect to hear about any "21st century overhaul" of Telegraph happening any time soon. . Significantly, the sfgate.com Chronicle headline writer substituted the judicious headline reproduced at the top of this piece, Berkeley ponders Telegraph Ave. upgrade, for the heavy-breathing one which appeared on the print front page. Something might materialize, but as I frequently advise about Berkeley's grandiose planning extravaganzas, don't hold your breath

It might be a cliche, but sometimes, a picture says more than a thousand words. Over the years, I've often talked about how the technology world is iterative, about how products are virtually always built upon that which came before, about how almost always, multiple people independently arrive at the same products since they work within the same constraints of the current state of technology. This elementary aspect of the technology world, which some would rather forget, has been illustrated very, very well in one of Samsung's legal filings against Apple.

You are looking at historical revision 26791 of this page. It may differ significantly from its current revision.
Bindings to the libgit2 library.
This library requires libgit2 0.16.0 and Chicken 4.7 or newer.
The source for this egg is available at http://github.com/evhan/chicken-git.
git provides an interface for reading & manipulating git repositories. The library is split into two modules, git and git-lolevel:
- git-lolevel is essentially just the libgit2 API, thinly wrapped. Most of the function signatures remain the same, with a few exceptions:
- Structures & pointers that would go on the stack are allocated automatically.
- Return values are checked where appropriate, signaling an exception of type git when negative.
- Pointer arrays are converted to rest arguments.
- git is a higher-level interface around git-lolevel, providing record types for each libgit2 structure.
The following documentation applies to the git module.
(use git) ; or... (use git-lolevel)
It's not recommended to mix the two without prefixing one or the other's imports, as the two libraries share many identifiers.
Repository[record] repository
[procedure] (repository? obj) => boolean
A repository corresponds to an on-disk Git repository.
Many objects are invalidated when the repository to which they belong is GC'd. As such, a handle to a repository should be kept for as long as its objects are in use.[procedure] (create-repository [path] [bare]) => repository
Creates & returns a new repository at the given path, or the value of current-directory if no path is given. If bare is given and not #f, the repository will be created without a working directory. An error is signaled if the path is invalid or the repository cannot be created.[procedure] (repository-open [path]) => repository
Opens the Git repository indicated by path, or the value of current-directory if no path is given. path may point to a bare repository, a working directory containing a ".git" directory, or a ".git" directory directly.[procedure] (repository-path repository [type]) => string
Returns the absolute path to the given repository. A type symbol may be given in order to retrieve alternate paths for the repository, and should be one of path (the default), index, odb or workdir.[procedure] (repository-ref repository ref) => object
Looks up a Git object in the given repository. ref may be a SHA1 string, oid, reference, blob*, commit, tag or tree. The returned object will be of type blob*, commit, tag or tree, or #f if no object matching the given ref is found.[procedure] (repository-empty? repository) => boolean
[procedure] (repository-bare? repositoy) => boolean
Returns a boolean indicating whether the given repository is empty (contains no commits) or bare (an exposed git directory without a working directory).[procedure] (pack-references repository) => void
Writes all loose references in the given repository into its "pack-refs" file and removes them from the on-disk repository. Calling this function will invalidate any existing reference objects belonging to the repository.
OID[record] oid
[procedure] (oid? obj) => boolean
An oid is a unique reference to a Git object, corresponding to a 40-character SHA1 object name.[procedure] (string->oid string) => oid
Creates an oid from the given string, which should be a 40-character SHA1 hash. An error is signaled if the string is not a valid hash.[procedure] (oid->string oid [length]) => string
Returns the string representation of the given oid. The optional integer length specifies the length of the returned string, up to 40 characters.[procedure] (oid->path oid) => string
Returns the string representation of the given oid in the form "xx/...", where "xx" is the first two characters of the SHA1 and "..." is the remainder.
Reference[record] reference
[procedure] (reference? obj) => boolean
A reference is a direct or indirect pointer to a Git commit object. A repository's "HEAD" is a common example: it is a symbolic reference, referring to the immediate reference "refs/heads/master", which in turn points at a commit.[procedure] (reference repository ref) => reference
Returns the reference specified by the given string ref from the repository. ref must be a string referring to a valid reference, such as "HEAD", "ref/heads/master", or "refs/tags/v0.1.0". An error is signalled if the reference doesn't exists.[procedure] (references repository) => list
Returns a list of all references in the given repository.[procedure] (reference-id reference) => oid
Returns the oid of the object referred to by the given reference.[procedure] (reference-owner reference) => repository
Returns the repository to which the given reference belongs.[procedure] (reference-resolve reference) => reference
Dereferences the given (possibly symbolic) reference, returning a new non-symbolic reference pointing directly to a commit.[procedure] (reference-target reference) => string
Returns the name of the reference referred to by the given symbolic reference. It is an error if the given reference is not symbolic.[procedure] (reference-rename reference name) => void
[procedure] (reference-target-set reference target) => void
reference-rename changes the name of the given reference to the string name.
reference-target-set updates a reference to refer to the given target. If reference is an immediate reference (referring to an object ID), target must be an oid, commit, or SHA1 string. If reference is symbolic, target must be a reference or reference name. It is an error to assign a symbolic reference an OID target and vice-versa.

US Defense Secretary Robert Gates today hinted that Washington might be willing to renew nuclear talks with North Korea without preconditions.
On Friday, before meeting here with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak, Secretary Gates said talks with North Korea were possible if the North ceased "dangerous provocations" and took "concrete steps" to meet its obligations.
"We could see a return to the six-party talks" whenever North Korea gave reason to believe that negotiations could be "productive and conducted in good faith," he said. Six-party talks were last held in Beijing in December 2008.
While Gates's comments may have appeared strong, they did not include a clear call for North Korea to give up its nuclear program as a prelude to renewing six-party talks, which North Korea has called for "with no preconditions."
However, South Korea has rejected the notion of returning to talks without preconditions. On Friday, Mr. Lee called for US "cooperation" on the North Korean nuclear issue.
Gates's aims in Asia
Gates's remarks came after fence-mending stops in China and Japan. In three days in China, he sought to reopen communications with military leaders upset by US arms sales to Taiwan. In Japan, he defended the need for the US to keep 49,000 troops in the country for defense against both North Korea and China, which he warned might "behave more assertively toward its neighbors" if US troops were withdrawn.
In South Korea, where the US has 28,500 troops, Gates encountered deeper sensitivities about North Korea after two recent attacks – the sinking of the South Korean navy vessel that killed 46 people and an artillery barrage on a South Korean island in November that killed two South Korean marines and two civilians.
During today's meeting with Lee and Defense Minister Kim Kwan-jin, Gates made a point of satisfying South Korean leaders by saying that diplomatic engagement should begin with talks between North and South Korea. Defense Minister Kim, for his part, said "strong force is the only way to deal effectively" with North.
Former US envoy: 'We need more than talks'
While Gates held his meetings, elsewhere in Seoul former US nuclear envoy Christopher Hill was speaking at a private think tank about past efforts to denuclearize North Korea. Hill, who negotiated with North Korea during the presidency of George W. Bush, insisted that getting the North to do away with its nuclear program remains the top priority.
"We cannot walk away from that," he said at the forum here. "We really do not have the option of leaving North Korea to have its nuclear weapons."
Hill defended the record of the six-party talks in getting North Korea to shut down the five-megawatt reactor needed for producing plutonium for warheads but said the North Koreans "lied on their declaration about uranium enrichment."
"We need more than talks," said Hill. "The North Koreans have demonstrated they did not deal with the process seriously."
What will bring South Koreans to the table?
The purpose of talks – which include Russia and Japan as well as the two Koreas, China, and the US – has always been to end the North Korea's nuclear program, but the sense among many Koreans is that North Korea has no intention of abandoning nuclear weapons. The construction of a new reactor to produce highly enriched uranium for warheads at the North's main nuclear complex at Yongbyon has convinced South Korean officials that returning to talks will not resolve the issue.
South Koreans cite two conditions under which talks might resume. "North Korea needs to settle the issue of provocations," says Hahm Chai-bong, director of the Asan Institute for Policy Studies, "and North Korea should go back to previous freezing" of its nuclear program.
Korean officials say, however, that North Korea is increasingly unlikely to give up its nuclear program in the run-up to the April 2012 centennial of the birth of Kim Il-sung, who died in July 1994. Kim's son and heir, Kim Jong-il, is believed to be anxious to display the country's strength while grooming his own son, Kim Jong-un.
