Childhood Obesity Could Affect The Way Your Child Learns, According To This New Study
by Jen McGuire
It's no surprise to anyone that childhood obesity has become a serious epidemic in the United States. The easy availability of calorie-laden foods and drinks hasn't helped the situation, nor has the constant marketing of fast food to kids on every media platform available. While parents are justifiably concerned about the many physical and emotional side effects inherent to childhood obesity, it seems there's a newly discovered cause for concern. Childhood obesity could affect the way your child learns, according to a recent study by Brown University.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more than 12.7 million children in America (around 17 percent of all American children between the ages of 2 to 19) would be considered obese or overweight as of 2014, and that number continues to climb. For a child to be considered obese, their BMI (Body Mass Index) would need to be above the 95th percentile for their sex and age-specific clinical growth chart.
While most of the children struggling with early-life obesity were between the ages of 12 to 19, a full 9 percent of kids aged 2 to 9 were still considered obese. And a new study out of Brown University found that being obese this early in life could cause serious complications down the road.
Nan Li, lead author of the study and a postdoctoral research associate in Brown's Department of Epidemiology, worked with a team of researchers to look at how early-life obesity might affect school-aged children down the road. And what they discovered was worrisome; children who were overweight or obese in the first two years of their life had lower reasoning skills, struggled more with perception, and worse working memories than their leaner same-age children when tested between the ages of 5 to 8 years old.
According to the study, severe weight gain can change the way our hormones work in several areas of the brain. Obesity has been linked to reduced cognitive abilities in adults, and Li's research team looked at children in Cincinatti to see whether or not the same held true with children. To get a full sense of the picture, the research team looked at children whose weight before the age of two years old was known and were followed over time via home visits by trained staff. The children also underwent a series of cognitive tests like a series of computerized games to measure a child's spatial-visual memory, sequencing tests to determine working memory, and tests to assess perceptual reasoning.
While researchers found that weight status did not necessarily change the way children performed in some tests, it did seem to make a significant difference in three areas: IQ, working memory, and perceptual reasoning. As Li told Brown University:
Excess early-life adiposity [obesity]was associated with lower IQ, perceptual reasoning and working memory scores at school-age.

Now it's important to note that this study was relatively limited in size because the researchers were focused on a small group of children. But the results of the study are still relatively concerning. Researchers have long known that childhood obesity can have many negative, far-reaching consequences. Beyond the physical limitations like Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular problems, children who struggle with their weight early in life can also suffer from low self-esteem, body dissatisfaction, and emotional problems, according to the National Center for Biotechnology Information. And now, it seems, their learning capabilities might also be affected by a higher weight-to-height ratio in their early years.
We live in a fast food world, and it's all too easy to keep kids happy with sugary treats and fatty food. But this study is yet another reason to think twice about the dietary decisions we make for our kids.

Q: How to read a contour plot? I am taking machine learning, and I have seen a few contour plots in the course.
It seems that I can't understand how to read this plot, I have tried looking it up in Wikipedia, but I don't even understand the first example (the figure on the right).
Another example is from the course:

The remark in the brackets say that it is easier to see that the function plotted is convex from the counter plot. but I don't see it at all.
What are those circles ? what is the meaning that the red x is in the inner circle (or even near its middle) ?
I would appreciate it if someone could please explain what information I should be able to read from the right drawing (the contour plot) and how ?

A: The circles you see are level sets: the function $J$ is equal where the colors are the same, i.e. around each circle. The red X is, presumably, the point where $J$ attains its minimum.
If you've ever seen a topographic map, it is also a form of contour plot, where the function being plotted is the height of the ground.
From the plot you should be able to see that the function $J$ is "bowl-shaped" and therefore convex. Moreover, from the spacing you can see that the function increases quickly starting from the X and moving up-right or down-left, and slowly moving up-left or down-right.

Daylilies forum: What are you adding for 2016?
Since the thread about the Stamile's new introductions was taking a bit of a detour I thought maybe we could continue the discussions of what folks are adding this fall or next spring. Plus this thread will provide others with sufficient cover to prove they aren't the craziest out there.
I managed to go a whole day without buying a plant. But I traded for one. ROSEMARIE LOUISE.
Maybe a better way to start this thread would be "Hi, my name is James, and I have a daylily addiction."
Hi, my name is Doris, and I have a daylily addiction and a husband who has the same addiction. Need I say more?
As of today, we do not have any new ones coming in 2016. We got 3 new fall intros last month from Floyd Cove and added some of Pete Harry's three weeks ago. If we plant in the fall, we will get blooms next year. If we plant in the spring, we may get blooms. We still have many in pots to put in the ground before cold weather gets here. (Hope to get most of these planted this coming week.) I am praying that the Weather Channel is correct in forecasting that the SE U.S. will have a warm fall into December. So far, the forecast has been accurate. By December I will be ready and wanting a cold winter.
We will no doubt give into temptation over the winter once the new catalogs start arriving in the mail and websites are updated. I have already emailed Tim Herrington telling him that I will be watching for his updated website. I want to get some of his new intros before they all get sold out. Our local daylily club will have Greg Goff speaking in January, Pete Harry in February, Jan Joiner in March, and maybe Jamie Gossard in April. They will all bring daylilies to auction, and this arm or David's will be shooting up too often without knowing where that particular daylily will be planted. We will be in trouble in no time, and I'll be asking again, "How did I let this happen (AGAIN!)? Where in the world will these daylilies go? Better still, which daylilies must leave so these new ones can be planted?
I've been keeping an eye out for Tim's new stuff he has some fabulous seedling pics on his page. Judy Davisson has been teasing everyone for a while too, but looks like she's about to update as her page is locked.
I also mailed a couple plants to Betty ( @Betja ) because I can enable with the best of them!
JWWC said: I've been keeping an eye out for Tim's new stuff he has some fabulous seedling pics on his page. Just Davisson has been teasing everyone for a while too, but looks like she's about to update as her page is locked.
I usually order from Judy once her website is updated. I need to stay away from there. I love her daylilies!
James, I am glad that you take your job of enabler seriously. It's a tough job!
Well, James totally surprised me with the two fans, and he's apparently already shipped them -- what a lovely enabler he is indeed!
Yeah I need to put together a list of what I am actually adding.
Betty is also forgetting that her Floyd Cove order is coming soon, and there's a surprise in there.
Still working out my focus, but there will always be Davisson daylilies in my future. I want to continue down that path of large watermarks and green.
I haven't done as much with patterns, but I did add CHERRY BLISS and GENEROUS SPIRIT from Di, already planted and EVERYDAY BUTTERFLY off the LA. I have a stunning TET coming from William Marchant, and hopefully UNDEFINABLE, and VAMPIRE ACADEMY (planted), DeGROOVIE (planted) and ALIEN GALAXY (planted). The last two to play with CLOWN PANTS. One or two plant orders from Luddy's and Pat, too!
No dips yet, which is quite strange for me. I am almost hoping that I can resist this year, but have yet to see Jamie's or Polston's or Korth's. I have spent so many years collecting the finest dips I am not sure that I want to stop...lol.
Every year I buy less. My seed offerings use more of my own things every year, which has always been the goal. Next year should be the best crop ever, hopefully.
Which of William's tets did you order? I caved and bought DROP IT LIKE IT'S HOT after reserving it many many moons ago.
That's a great mix Steve. I'm saving to try and get a couple new toothy plants this year. I'd like to get a couple from Daniel Matton as well - I think he has some really nice lines with teeth that you don't see frequently down here. I just have to try and make the order worth it to cover the shipping and phyto costs.
the nursery, from whom I ordered about 10 cultivars for this Fall, called to say that they thought some of them were too small and they didn't feel comfortable sending them to me..
CLAUDINE'S CHARM has been a favorite of mine for many years.
Oh boy... I'll be right back.. I have to write the list out... I brought 39 plants back with me from lily hemmer.

Ohhhh this aught to be good!
Guilty of buying Stenciled Infusion today.
Probably about five pounds .
Tet Shimek Seedling - THANKS BETTY!!
Many of these I do not know, James..which is most likely a real good thing. Let me study the list a little while before I make a fool of myself.
But, is TET MIDNIGHT MIRROR the one that Luddy's was offering up?


Believe it or not, bands are allowed to sound different than the other ones of their scene. There was Autopsy who slowed down and raped many people's earholes with their doom-laden death metal when the majority of American bands were blasting away, there was Deathrow from Germany who took a more technical approach to thrash as opposed to the extreme aggression (no pun intended) of bands like Kreator and Sodom, and then there were bands like Disinter, who created some extreme death metal in the vein of bands like Malevolent Creation and early Cannibal Corpse rather than the doomier and darker filth that most Finndeath bands played. While the music here isn't as great as the aforementioned bands and there were hundreds of other bands who played in a similar style, that doesn't take away from the glimpses of greatness found on the "Exitus Letalis" demo.
The slithering and monstrous sound that many people may expect to hear once the demo starts is nonexistent, instead it's replaced with a fast death metal tremolo riff and only followed by more brutality, though I cringe as I use that term because of the hundreds of horrible bands out that are considered "brutal death metal," no worries though, because Disinter is brutal in the way that there is no escape from the neckbreaking riffs that can be found, like on the song "Exhumation" which is a nonstop assault on the brain and neck. Ripping tremolos and midpaced riffs are pretty much the only facets of guitar playing on this demo, leaving no room for melodies or intricate riffage. In addition to the decimating riffs, the vocals on "Exitus Letalis" are incredibly reminiscent of Chris Barnes from the low-end growls to the more guttural rasps and it suits the band's style of death metal perfectly.
For a four song demo there isn't much variety and they all follow an incredibly similar pattern, though, "Exhumation" and "Necrophagia" tend to cause some more destruction than the other two tracks. Again, this isn't the greatest demo to be found in the blood and dust, but a full-length from this band could have been a decent addition to the fantastic death metal scene of Finland. Fans of Cannibal Corpse, Malevolent Creation, Sinister and the like should have no problems in enjoying Disinter and this demo.

Die Erkesija () oder Altbulgarischer Grenzwall war ein mittelalterlicher Grenzwall an der bulgarisch-byzantinischen Grenze und ist heute Kulturdenkmal von nationaler Bedeutung. Die Erkesija wurde im Auftrag des bulgarischen Herrschers Krum im 9. Jahrhundert errichtet und reichte vom heutigen Burgas am Schwarzen Meer bis Simeonowgrad am Fluss Mariza. Ihre Länge betrug ca. 140 Kilometer. Der Grenzwall teilte sich kurz vor Pirgos, und seine Teilstücke erreichten das Ufer der heutigen Burgas- und Mandraseen.

Der Grenzwall war bis 1890 vollständig erhalten und wurde in der Franzisco-Josephinischen Landesaufnahme eingezeichnet (siehe Verlaufskarten unten). Heute sind mehrere gut erhaltene Stücke auf der Gesamtlänge dokumentiert, eins davon zwischen dem archäologischen Reservat Deultum und dem Stadtviertel von Burgas Gorno Eserowo.

Verlauf
Die Erkesija beginnt am linken Ufer der Mariza, folgt nordwärts dem Lauf des Flusses Sazlijka an dessen linkem östlichen Ufer, zieht dann (nach einem Knick nördlich von Obrutschischte) gradlinig in nordöstlicher Richtung an Widinzi vorbei und kreuzt bei Tenewo die Tundscha und in der Folge das Hügelland Bakadschizite. Am nordöstlichen Hang der Bakadschizite wendet der Grenzwall zunächst in östlicher Richtung, verläuft zwischen Bogorowo und Parwenez, südlich von Schitoswjat und in südöstlicher Richtung am südlichen Ufer des Flusses Russokastrenska bis zur Stadt Deultum. Von dort aus teilt sich der Erkesija-Wall in zwei Arme und erreicht das westliche Ufer des Mandra-Sees bei der Einmündung des Flusses Mandrenska, beziehungsweise das südliche Ufer des Burgas-Sees bei Gorno Eserowo.

Bei Ljulin, nahe dem Knick östlich der Bakadschizite, liegt die bogenförmig von dem Wall südwärts vorspringende Befestigungsanlage Ziganska Erkesija. Zwischen Deultum und dem Burgas-See befand sich die Festung Russokastro.

With the Performance Weekend at the beginning of the month followed by many hours working though our selections for the 2018 teams and then picking dogs and handlers for this years development programme. Its exciting, rewarding and challenging, but thats the role. There are also many people who ask for feedback on their performance and where they can improve in the future.
This year we've selected to take 26 dogs to the European Open in Austria and 17 dogs to the World Championships in Sweden. You can read more about the selections and considerations in our decision making process in my blog For these handlers the hard work now begins. There is a lot of preparation required leading up to these big competitions not only the logistical planning, but also mapping out their training programmes for the months ahead.
These handlers will now be setting out which competitions they'll attend to assist their preparations, setting out fitness and conditioning programmes for themselves and their dogs, working on their mental skills, as well focusing on the dog training and handling skills required for the courses they're likely to be faced with. So lots to do.
Following the Performance Weekend we also picked 11 dogs to join this years development programme. This programme is designed to help prepare dogs and handlers for a chance in a future team. It's been running for a couple of years now and we've had very positive feedback from previous people.
For the Coaching Team we'll be getting to work with all the handlers over the next few weeks to identify where help they need and supporting them as they set out their 2018 plans. Although the hard work starts now, its a really enjoyable part of the job.
I'm hoping for some better agility weather so I can compete with my youngster who is coming on well. I've entered three competitions so far this year, two have been rained off.

FULHAM CLOSE TO ADDING GOOCH TO THE MIX
FoxSports.com
Fulham appears to be on the verge of doubling the number of Yanks on their roster from 2 to 4 with defender Oguchi Onyewu being the latest American linked to the EPL club.
Dempsey and Onyewu would join defender Carlos Bocanegra and forward Brian McBride to make Fulham the most Americanized team in a top flight European league.
Wambach, Lilly, and Wagner amongst USWNT vets not heading to the 4 Nations Tournament in China
US Soccer.com
USWNT head coach Greg Ryan will head to the Four Nations Tournament in Guangzhou, China with a young lineup as he has opted to leave 2006 leading scorers Abby Wambach and Kristine Lilly off the roster, along with midfield playmaking Aly Wagner.
Eleven players that have been invited to the pre-tournament camp have yet to earn a cap with the USWNT.
Also of note is that fact that Shannon Boxx is re-joining the USWNT camp as a non-roster player as she works her way back from torn ACL she suffered in July of 2006. For now, Boxx will only take part in light conditioning and non-contract drills, but it is an important step in her push to be back to full fitness by the time the World Cup rolls around later this year.
Rongen names U-20 training camp roster prior to qualifying
US Men's U-20 National Team head coach Thomas Rongen has named his 21 man squad for the final preperations leading up to CONCACAF qualifying for the 2007 Youth World Cup in Canada.
MLS standouts such as Freddy Adu and Josmer Altidore headline the roster that is almost complete.
The US U-20 squad have been able to qualify for the past 5 Youth World Cups and will take on Haiti, Guatemala, and hosts Panama starting on January 17th.
Bob Bradley's first camp as USMNT head coach to open up tomorrow
Two and a half weeks prior to taking oin Denmark, the USMNT will open camp at the Home Depot Center in Carson, California and officially open up Bob Bradley's tenure as interim head coach of the US Men's National Team.
It will be interesting to see what players will get new life as members of the USMNT with Bradley and Peter Nowak in charge.

The Next 'Big Thing'
The ardour of the search for 'the next big thing' in the international property market may have cooled as those who made unwise investments lick their wounds, but there is one new destination outside the canon of 'safe havens' that looks as if it's here to stay.
Unusual in many ways, Montenegro offers a heady mixture of the modern and the traditional, bridging, as it does, the well-established tourist destination of Croatia and the untouched charms of Albania. It's easy to get to by air via Tivat, or by driving from Dubrovnik (two hours); the country has joined the Euro and proves to be extremely affordable. The government has a strategic approach to development and has worked with a few select luxury brands that, it's hoped, can do justice to this ravishing part of the world without spoiling its natural charms. Because of the country's strategic position along the Adriatic coastline, Montenegrin history is peppered with invaders and overlords, including the Venetians and the fearsome Ottomans.
The Austro-Hungarian empire exerted its influence at the start of the 20th century, but after 1918, the country was assimilated into the former Yugloslavia, and became independent only in 2006, following the long and bloody Balkan conflict. This tempestuous history has left its people fiercely patriotic and grateful to its dramatic terrain: its steeply inclined fjords and wild mountain landscapes have provided excellent rebel hideouts over the centuries, although the white sand beaches represent a softer side of the country's personality today. The beautiful Venetian walled city of Kotor is a mini-Dubrovnik, with warrens of streets peppered with boutique hotels, churches, little squares and cats peeping around every corner.
It's utterly charming, and marred only by the crowds who are disgorged from the cruise ships that come into Kotor Bay every morning. Of course, Montenegro isn't entirely undiscovered: it was an extremely sophisticated destination in the 1950s, when Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton were drawn to the natural beauty of Sveti Stefan, a romantic fortified island resort. Before that, George Bernard Shaw had wondered whether he was in Paradise or on the Moon upon reaching the summit of the sacred mountain of Lovcen.
The country has buckets of natural charm, and history in spades, but it's only relatively recently that the eye of the discerning traveller has turned once more to this charming Adriatic country. Property can be tough to find inside Kotor's historic walls, but there are bargains to be had nearby, including a three-storey, 300-year old palace in need of renovation, but blessed with million-dollar views of Kotor Bay.
If buying a period property doesn't appeal, the most recent round of modern development began in 2009 with Porto Montenegro. Previously a historic naval base, investors-including Canadian businessman Peter Munk and Nat Rothschild-identified the ideal location to fulfil the overwhelming need for more super-yacht berths in the Mediterranean, and the successful project brought an injection of serious cool to the area.
Porto Montenegro is now well established and offers waterside properties, a state-of-the-art marina, which is due to expand, and the exclusive Purobeach Bar, which offers an Olympic-sized infinity pool and cocktails as you relax. The Regent Porto Montenegro, a new five-star hotel and residences development, is set to open in May 2014. Designed by Tino Zervudachi of Mlinaric, Henry & Zervudachi, and with landscaping by Martin Lane Fox, the properties are top of the range, and start at €245,000; luxury apartments cost about €6 million.
It's the continuing success of this project despite the impact of the global recession that's encouraging investors, and would-be property owners, to take a look for themselves. And, as the World Travel and Tourism Council estimates 10% year-on-year growth for Montenegro's tourist industry over the next decade, it looks as if the opening of Sveti Stefan as an Aman hotel in 2012 and One & Only opening 150 luxurious guest rooms and villas and a world-class marina just along the coast soon are well timed. Aleksandar Kovacevic, head of sales at Savills Montenegro, agrees: 'The government is focusing on elite tourism, and is keen to avoid the over-development that has blighted other European coastlines, so is granting planning permission mainly to high-end hotels and developments. It's all about quality not quantity.'
'The property market is still in its infancy, and therefore represents good value for money when compared to Croatia and Italy,' he notes. 'Prices in Montenegro are currently about 40% lower than Croatia and we benefit from being part of the Eurozone.' One new development piquing the interest of British buyers is currently rising up in the pine-covered hills above Kotor Bay. There are to be 50 two- and three-bedroom villas planned on a three-acre site as part of Sea Breeze, with a layout inspired by the traditional Dalmatian hill towns, and 12 have already been sold.
Each villa will have open-plan living spaces, a private pool, a wine cellar and a humidor, with smart-home systems, all just 10 minutes from Kotor itself, and close to two PGA golf courses. Prices start at just €399,000 for a two-bedroom villa and go up to €899,000 for a 243sq m three bedroom villa. For more details, contact Seabreeze on 00 38 32331 555 or visit www.seabreeze.me.
A second new development you can't ignore along this Adriatic coastline is Luštica Bay on the Luštica peninsula, also near Tivat. Conceived on an enormous scale, the development has plans for hotels, private residences, two marinas and a golf course. Phase one has two hotels and more than 150 residences due for completion in 2016, and the completed project in 2025 will have shopping, dining, school and even medical facilities, essentially creating a completely new community for this pretty peninsula.
The architectural design is inspired by the natural character of the area-each property will be constructed using sustainable local materials-and 95% of the marina apartments will benefit from sea views. Marina town homes start at €565,000, which is roughly £480,300. For further information, visit www.lusticabay.com.

Observations from Barkley and Naismith (2006 NBA All-Star Weekend)
Note: This article was originally published on February 17, 2006 at HoopsHype.com but the link no longer works, so I have reprinted the article in its entirety below.
All-Star Weekend actually began several days before most of the players, celebrities and fans arrived in Houston. The NBA Read to Achieve Caravan, led by Bob Lanier, conducted Reading Timeouts at three Houston elementary schools on Monday. Three Jr. NBA/Jr. WNBA fitness clinics were held on Tuesday and on Wednesday the NBA and NBA Players Association partnered with Habitat for Humanity to break ground on the first of two houses that they will build this week. Thursday activities included an NBA Cares hospital visit and the eighth National Wheelchair Basketball Association All-Star Classic at the NBA All-Star Jam Session, which is located in the George R. Brown Convention Center.
The 13th NBA All-Star Jam Session opened to the public at 4 p.m. on Thursday and it will be open daily starting at 9 a.m., Friday through Monday. It features clinics, contests, basketball collectibles for sale and the opportunity to get autographs from NBA players and legends.
Thursday night it was also the site for TNT's studio show featuring Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Reggie Miller and Kenny Smith (who left after the halftime of the first game to go host his party). Fans ringed the set to take pictures and get autographs. After the halftime show for the Chicago-Philadelphia game, I had the opportunity to speak with Barkley as he and the rest of the TNT group relaxed in their trailer to watch the second half of the game.
I had introduced myself to Barkley a few minutes before the interview, but wasn't sure that he heard what I was saying with all of the Jam Session commotion, so when I came into the trailer I introduced myself again. Barkley, looking serious, remarked that I had just told him that a minute ago and he hadn't forgotten my name. When I mentioned the noise outside, he retorted that he had read my name tag also. Then he paused a beat and said, "Relax, man. I'm just messing with you."
With my "initiation" out of the way, I asked Barkley what he is most looking forward to this weekend. He answered, "I get nominated for the Hall of Fame tomorrow, so that makes it a little bit more special for me. I would be disingenuous if I said that I am thinking about something else. I am really honored and flattered. It's going to be pretty special. This is the first time that I've been eligible and when my name is mentioned tomorrow it's going to be special."
I said that I thought that his induction is a foregone conclusion and Barkley replied, "That would be cocky of me to say. This is the first time that I've been eligible and when my name is mentioned tomorrow it's going to be very special. Obviously I feel good about my chances, but it's a long, drawn-out process. I don't even know when they do the voting, but everything starts tomorrow."
Ernie Johnson walked by and deadpanned, "You didn't hear?" and Barkley quipped, "Me and Dominique both got left off?"
I asked Barkley what his favorite All-Star memories are and he said, "The first time that I played, in Seattle, that's special--the first time is always special--and the time that I received the MVP (1991)."
Naturally, Barkley can't reveal who TNT's "Next 10"-–their additions to the 50 Greatest Players List--will be but I asked him to speak a little about Bob McAdoo, the subject of my recent HoopsHype.com article and a teammate of his in 1985-86. Barkley said, "I can't remember, but I think that I put McAdoo on my next 10...He was nice and quiet. I grew up watching him as a little kid. He was a prolific jump shooter. It's pretty cool to play with somebody you watched as a little kid."
Barkley had not seen Michael Jordan's new shoe commercial, so we stopped talking when it came on the air. Before it came on, Miller told Barkley that it was good and that Barkley should watch it. After seeing it, Barkley agreed and added that he is not a big fan of the "LeBrons" commercial: "Let him talk and show his personality. I don't know what they're doing with his commercials--he's dressed up as his grandfather. He needs to showcase his personality. He's a terrific player (but) when you are out there to represent your league and sell products you have to let people get to know you."
Barkley is a fan of Bob Lanier, another player who did not make the 50 Greatest Players List but was nominated for TNT's Next 10: "I know Bob personally. He lives in Arizona. Obviously, he was a great, great, great player, but the one thing that I'll say about Bob is that Bob is one of the nicest men I've met in my life, period. He's a wonderful person. You can look at his stats and the fact that he's in the Hall of Fame and see that he was a great player. Living in Phoenix, I've gotten to know him really well and he's just a wonderful person."
After talking with Barkley, I walked through the Hall of Fame exhibition at Jam Session, which displayed items ranging from a 1974-75 ABA basketball to a pair of Dr. J's shoes to a photo of Michael Jordan playing against Chris Mullin in the 1982 Hall of Fame tipoff classic and much more.
My next stop was a display organized by the Naismith International Basketball Foundation. Sitting behind the counter was none other than Ian Naismith, the non-profit organization's founding director and the grandson of Dr. James Naismith, the inventor of basketball. Ian Naismith opened up a bulletproof briefcase and showed me the original 13 rules of basketball that were typed up by his grandfather. The Foundation is offering the document for sale, but with some important stipulations: the buyer must donate it to the Smithsonian Institution and the funds must go to support children's charities.
Naismith told me that he gets varying reactions when people hear his last name, depending on how well versed they are in basketball history. My first thought was to wonder if he had a chance to talk to his grandfather about inventing basketball.
This is what he told me: "I was born in Dallas, Texas and my grandfather lived in Lawrence, Kansas for 41 years after he invented the game. When I was born he took a train from Lawrence, Kansas to Dallas and baptized me. He stayed for three days with my parents and then he went home and passed away three months later. I didn't get to know him, but he baptized me, which is very important to me. He put his hands on my head and the family joke is that he called me the first dribbler."
Naismith is conducting a 43-city tour to spread the word about his Foundation and to promote good sportsmanship. He feels very passionately about how the game should be played and since 1998 the Foundation has honored individuals and groups who represent the game positively. Michael Jordan was the first player who won the award; winners are selected by a nine-member committee whose names are not divulged to the public. The Naismith Good Sportsmanship Tour is in its fifth year and has made stops at each All-Star Game and Final Four during this time. Over 1.5 million visitors have seen it. Naismith says that his grandfather stood for "respect, dignity, positive role-modeling and teamwork. Sportsmanship was his biggest thing." He cited Steve Nash, Tim Duncan and John Stockton as three players who embody these traits.
I couldn't have asked for a better start to All-Star Weekend than talking to Charles Barkley and Ian Naismith. Here are some things that I am looking forward to seeing during the rest of the weekend:
*The moment when Flip Saunders puts four Detroit Pistons on the court at the same time facing off against the Western Conference's best players.
*Watching 5-9 Nate Robinson in the Slam Dunk Contest. Many people are down on this event, saying that it is played out, but Robinson will almost certainly bring the fans out of their seats. It is unfortunate that we won't get to see Kobe, Vince or LeBron but Andre Iguodala, Hakim Warrick and defending champion Josh Smith are all outstanding dunkers.
*Will Kobe Bryant make a run a Wilt Chamberlain's All-Star Game record of 42 points?
*Watching Ray Allen in the Three-Point Shootout. Allen has the game's sweetest, most effortless looking shooting stroke from deep--it's like watching a healthy Ken Griffey, Jr. swing a baseball bat.
*A moment or play that no one predicted--and no one will ever forget.

Q: Dereferencing a temporary pointer to initialize a reference member variable I am working with an external library which can hold large data structures. Calls to it return pointers to objects which it manages:
class ExternalLib {
public:
  int* GetLargeObject() { return &large_object; };

private:
  int large_object = 1;
};

I am trying to write a wrapper for this external library which can hold a const reference to the large data structure I am interested in:
class ExternalLibraryWrapper {
public:
  ExternalLibraryWrapper() : large_object_ref(*ext.GetLargeObject()){};

private:
  ExternalLib ext;
  const uint &large_object_ref;
};

However, I get the compiler warning:

Reference member 'large_object_ref' binds to a temporary object whose lifetime would be shorter than the lifetime of the constructed object [clang: dangling_member]

From my understanding, ext.GetLargeObject() returns a temporary pointer to the address of (*this).ext.large_object. Shouldn't the compiler know that the constructed object &large_object_ref isn't actually binding to a temporary object?

A: A temporary is materialized when binding a reference when the initializer is a prvalue or when type of the initializer differs from the type of the reference by more than cv-qualifiers but can be converted to it (unless of course that conversion is user-defined and yields a reference).  (This case is rejected in the case of an lvalue reference to non-const; the const U& case is accepted for historical reasons.  It would have been nicer to have const T&& from the beginning and have it mean "you may pass temporaries, and I won't modify whatever you pass", but that's not where we are.)
Obviously dereferencing a pointer produces an lvalue, so this warning (very useful since it's impossible to use the reference so initialized!) indicates that the type mismatch pertains in your case.
