KSR: Capitalism is still very feudal in its distribution of wealth. One of the great triumphs of Marxist historiography is to describe accurately the transition from feudalism to capitalism, why it happened and the differences. At a presentation I once gave with Jameson, I said something like capitalism is just feudalism liquidified. In the break he said, 'Kim, it's actually a big accomplishment for Marxists to be able to describe the change from feudalism to capitalism.' I then brought up something he had taught me, Raymond Williams's concept of the residual and the emergent, and said, 'but there's a lot more residual than people have imagined.' That's one of the only times I saw Fred startled by something I said. Although I think there's an exchange of ideas between us, mainly he's the teacher, I'm the student. He's explained things that I never would have understood, and I treasure him for that. So it was nice to see him think, 'Mmm, that's an interesting thought.'
The residuals out of feudalism would be the power gradient and the actual concentration of wealth per se. In the feudal period, kings might not even have been as proportionally rich as top executives are now in relation to the poor. And if peasants weren't murdered by passing soldiers, they were living with their food source at hand and working a somewhat decent human life. That isn't largely true now of the dispossessed. So, capitalism is like feudalism in that, but worse.

* Star Trek: Discovery is exciting, but not much else.
To put it another way, if this was just called Discovery, if the serial numbers were filled off and this was just another science fiction show with aliens and parallel universes and FTL drives, I doubt we'd be talking about it. It would be significantly less annoying in some ways (my brain would appreciate not having to fit any of this into continuity, that's for damn sure), but it would be far more forgettable—a pretty, messy piece of nonsense with some decent performances and occasionally unexpected story twists. Hell, maybe we'd like it more, if only because our standards would be lower and it would still be possible to convince ourselves that someday, this would all make sense.
io9 was even harsher, if anything. I'm still a fan of the series but the extremely poor plotting of the second half of season one has made complete hash of their very promising initial setup. It's much harder for me to argue the series is genuinely good, as opposed to liking it because it is Star Trek and I like pretty much everything Star Trek.
Today Star Wars wants to be Star Trek, and Star Trek wants to be Star Wars, and everyone is angry about it.

* Seen accurately. American collapse is a catastrophe of human possibility without modern parallel . And because the mess that America has made of itself, then, is so especially unique, so singular, so perversely special — the treatment will have to be novel, too. The uniqueness of these social pathologies tell us that American collapse is not like a reversion to any mean, or the downswing of a trend. It is something outside the norm. Something beyond the data. Past the statistics. It is like the meteor that hit the dinosaurs: an outlier beyond outliers, an event at the extreme of the extremes. That is why our narratives, frames, and theories cannot really capture it — much less explain it. We need a whole new language — and a new way of seeing — to even begin to make sense of it. Why We're Underestimating American Collapse: The Strange New Pathologies of the World's First Rich Failed State.
* If your highest value is the preservation of American institutions, the avoidance of "dysfunction," the discourse of norm erosion makes sense. If it's democracy, not so much. Sometimes democracy requires the shattering of norms and institutions. Democracy, we might even say, is a permanent project of norm erosion, forever shattering the norms of hierarchy and domination and the political forms that aid and abet them.
* What does living in a dictatorship feel like?
It's a mistake to think a dictatorship feels intrinsically different on a day-to-day basis than a democracy does. I've lived in one dictatorship and visited several others–there are still movies and work and school and shopping and memes and holidays.

* "What's the point of having a Philosophy department in an American university?"
In Our Underachieving Colleges (CT review still on its way: DD to blame if I never get round to it) Derek Bok claims that the standard assumptions within most departments in research universities is that the undergraduate curriculum is for attracting and then teaching majors, and, further, that our attention to the majors should be shaped by the aim of preparing them well for graduate school. This means that the curriculum is designed for a tiny minority of the students who take classes, and even many of them, probably, would be better off doing something other than going to graduate school (that's me, not Bok, saying the last bit).
I don't think of the curriculum, or the mission of my department in my institution, that way at all.
If I did I would campaign to remove our classes from the list of classes that meet breadth requirements and ask other majors not to require our classes. In most places, including in my department (even now, when we have a glut of majors, no doubt owing to the high quality instruction in my department and the newly found glamour in our field) most of the enrollments in Philosophy courses (as in most Humanities departments) come from non-majors trying to fulfill breadth, general ed, or other-major-specific requirements. If I were in the position of having to justify my own department's existence, and was unconstrained by the comments of my colleagues, I would focus on the service we do to students for whom the course they take from us is the only Philosophy course they take.

That's like saying, 'Only people 65 and over can use federal highways.' It is a waste of a very valuable resource and it is not fair. This idea is simple, it makes sense, and it deserves an up-or-down vote."

Ryan Mallett may have been ahead of his time.
If Matt Hayes is right about this, then the APR will have been good for something:
It looks as though the NCAA finally will look into the possibility of immediate eligibility after a transfer for players affected by coaching turnover. Although any legislation must clear significant hurdles, there is momentum for such an idea after the recent release of the Academic Progress Rates showed a direct correlation between declining scores and coaching changes. . . .
It's a sensible idea, but where is this momentum coming from? The schools? Aren't they the ones who propagate the myth that the kid commits to the institution, not the coach?
And outside of Bobby Petrino, for whom this would be like his own personal Marshall Plan, you wonder how the coaches will react to this proposal.
Filed under Academics? Academics., College Football, The NCAA
4 responses to "Ryan Mallett may have been ahead of his time."
I'm so completely on the fence about this. Out of all the NCAA changes/ideas/rules, this one has the most slippery of slopes.
On one hand you don't want to affect a kid who does the right thing, commits to the right coach and then has to transfer because he no longer "fits the system," much like Ryan Mallet with Dick Rod.
However, much like Dick Rod would be inclined to do, you don't want coaches negotiating their next job to include the players currently on their team that they'll bring with them.
I guess a clause stating that no player could transfer the institution his coach is going to would work, but honestly, is that the fix for this?
I hardly think so.
And not just that, Kit — honestly, I'd have less of a problem with that situation than I would with players on their own switching schools just because they felt like it.
Lost my starting job? Good thing I'll be at your biggest rival next year if I don't get it back.
Suspended for fighting at a bar? Sorry, coach, I'm headed to Tennessee or SC instead.
It does seem unfair that coaches can move around at will while players can't. Then again, it also seems unfair that coaches get paid millions and players don't — but I'd still never support paying players. The system they had for that one year — if you graduate with eligibility left, you can go anywhere and play immediately — seemed like a good middle ground that reinforced the student part of student-athlete. Too bad they got rid of it…
Well, I think the catch in the "lost my starting job? Well I'll just go to your rival" loses its luster when players have to burn a year of eligibility.
In today's world of "the next Lebron James of (name any sport)" the pressure is on to get one kid on the field immediately and redshirt the rest.
However, when that happens, you have one kid that will be gone in three years anyway whereas you have other kids who are stuck with nowhere to go b/c they'll forgo (sp?) a chance to improve their NFL draft stock if they leave.
I like the system in place as it is with kids transferring schools but giving something in return, but I do think some tweaking needs to be made in the instance of a coach leaving.
Another variable in this would be players who are recruited and given a committment by one coach only to have the new coach determine they are not needed and not renew the player's scholorship – see Nick Saban. That just sux. Unless a player flunks out or gets kicked out of school, the committment by the coach or university should be as binding as the players'.
I think a coaching change should allow for players to be released from their scholarship, but I agree it creates as many problems as it solves.
If a coach leaves in say January and players start leaving, does the new coach have any hope of recruiting replacements? Would that increase the problem of schools poaching coaches who are still involved in a season – see Rich Rod and Houston Nutt.
What if the player decides he doesn't like the new coach/system two weeks before the season opener?
Could other schools/coaches actively recruit players from a school in the midst of a coaching change? Urban Meyer would be in heaven.
Maybe having to sit out a year, but not losing the year of eligibility would be enough of a compromise. I agree that a player should not be allowed to follow the exiting coach though.

Logiscool
Logiscool is an initiative started in 2014 with the aim of providing a chance to 6-18-year-olds to learn to programme while having fun. To reach the target group of Logiscool, the organization commissioned us with the planning and execution of their fall campaign 2015.
The goal was to increase the number of enrolments for all 3 types of courses and convince pupils to register for an open-day at Logiscool. The biggest challenge we faced was posed by the fact that the 21 schools which hosted the informatics courses were scattered all around the country. Therefore, precise geographical segmentation had to take place before we could start working on our strategy. A further challenge was that we had to address parents, instead of children.
We had two goals in mind when we started planning the campaign. Firstly, we wanted to increase the number of enrollments on the client's website. Secondly, we wanted to convince unsure and hesitant students to sign up for an open day. Therefore, our choice to launch a Google AdWords campaign featuring search and display ads – was a clear one.
While the campaign was running it was necessary to monitor and optimize it every day with the implementation of data gathered with Google Analytics. Accordingly, we changed and updated advertisements daily.
The campaign was exceptionally successful thanks to accurate planning and because we managed to constantly integrate our former experiences into our strategy. Accordingly, we hit our targets and reached a significant rise in the number of enrollments and registrations for Logiscool.
Logiscool reached nearly 1000 enrollments thanks to our campaigns. In addition, we also reduced expenses significantly as every enrollment cost only a mere 3% of last year's price. The second goal was also reached over 400 pupils registered for an open day. Therefore, both in terms of enrollments and registrations, we've surpassed last year's results, with a conversion averaging around 20% of last year's costs and the campaign reached around 16 million people overall.

Battling a Rare Cancer is Easier in Your Own Backyard
Bob Dwyer is battling a rare form of cancer — but he's doing it from the comfort of his own personal oasis: his home.
With no gas in his tank and no pep in his step, Bob had begun to feel as if mowing yards was more like running a marathon. He'd lost his zest. And normally, Bob had plenty of zest to spare.
When he could no longer ignore his lethargy or the escalating pain of an old back injury, Bob sought help from a doctor. After a routine prostate exam, he was diagnosed with cancer. It was difficult and overwhelming news, but he was determined to keep a positive attitude.
Urologist Donald Spicer, MD, Baptist Health Paducah, did the biopsy. "I'll never forget the day I got the results," Bob said. "Your whole life is upended in one moment."
Bob tries not to complain. He's seen others experiencing pain in the nursing homes and hospitals where he volunteers with his emotional support therapy dog, Joey.
"I try to temper my pain and suffering with all that I see out there," he said.
Bob was diagnosed with a rare form of cancer that had wrapped around his entire prostate, bladder and intestines, making surgery impossible. "If they'd done the surgery, I'd lose my bladder and my rectum," he said.
Bob considered heading out of state to receive cancer care and had even lined up friends to stay with during treatment. But then he learned Baptist Health Paducah offered the same advanced technologies and treatments in its Ray and Kay Eckstein Regional Cancer Care Center — and it was close to home. It also was close to his wife, Terrie; his 91-year-old mother, Barbara; his beloved dogs; and the community he loves.
The plan was to use a combination of chemotherapy and radiation to smash the tumors and then starve the cancer. However, because things aren't always simple with treating cancer, Baptist Health Paducah has a multidisciplinary team to customize each patient's treatment to fit their individual needs.
Because of Bob's back injury, he could not lie flat on the radiation table, so his treatment team came up with an innovative solution tailored just for him. They constructed a mold to keep Bob's legs bent at an angle, easing the pressure on his back.
In May 2019, Bob rang the bell that signifies the last radiation treatment is complete. He brought in bell-shaped cookies to celebrate with the nurses.
"There's a misconception that because we live in a small community, that we should run to Nashville to get our healthcare," Bob said. "The caregiving I've received at Baptist Health Paducah is beyond any I've ever received in my life."
Because he stayed close to home, Bob was able to care for his mom, run his family's kennel business specializing in the rare breed Shiloh Shepherds, and work at Kirchhoff's, a historic deli in downtown Paducah — all while undergoing treatment. He is living life beyond cancer, even as he fights.
"There's a healing quality to being in your own backyard," he said.

Q: About storing getchar() returned value inside a char-variable I know the following code is broken --getchar() returns an int not a char--
#include <stdio.h>
int
main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
  char single_byte = getchar();

  while (single_byte != EOF) {
    single_byte = getchar();
    printf("getchar() != EOF is %d.\n", single_byte != EOF);
    if (single_byte == EOF)
      printf("EOF is implemented in terms of 0x%x.\n", single_byte);
  }

  return 0;
}

though I would expect that a typical output of it (using /dev/urandom as the input-stream for instance) would have been at last EOF is implemented in terms of 0xff, and not the following
$ ./silly < /dev/urandom
getchar() != EOF is 1.
getchar() != EOF is 1.
// ...
getchar() != EOF is 0
EOF is implemented in terms of 0xffffffff.

Furthermore, 0xffffffff cannot be stored into a single byte ...
Thank you in advance

A:
I know the following code is broken --getchar() returns an int not a char--

Good!
char single_byte = getchar();

This is problematic is more than one way.
I'll assume CHAR_BIT == 8 and EOF == -1. (We know EOF is negative and of type int; -1 is a typical value -- and in fact I've never heard of it having any other value.)
Plain char may be either signed or unsigned.
If it's unsigned, the value of single_byte will be either the value of the character that was just read (represented as an unsigned char and trivially converted to plain char), or the result of converting EOF to char. Typically EOF is -1, and the result of the conversion will be CHAR_MAX, or 255. You won't be able to distinguish between EOF and an actual input value of 255 -- and since /dev/urandom returns all byte values with equal probability (and never runs dry), you'll see a 0xff byte sooner or later.
But that won't terminate your input loop. Your comparison (single_byte == EOF) will never be true; since single_byte is of an unsigned type in this scenario, it can never be equal to EOF. You'll have an infinite loop, even when reading from a finite file rather than from an unlimited device like /dev/urandom. (You could have written (single_byte == (char)EOF), but of course that would not solve the underlying problem.)
Since your loop does terminate, we can conclude that plain char is signed on your system.
If plain char is signed, things are a little more complicated. If you read a character in the range 0..127, its value will be stored in single_byte. If you read a character in the range 128..255, the int value is converted to char; since char is signed and the value is out of range, the result of the conversion is implementation-defined.  For most implementations, that conversion will map 128 to -128, 129 to -127, ... 255 to -1. If getchar() returns EOF, which is (typically) -1, the conversion is well defined and yields -1. So again, you can't distinguish between EOF and an input character with the value -1.
(Actually, as of C99, the conversion can also raise an implementation-defined signal. Fortunately, as far as I know, no implementations actually do that.)
if (single_byte == EOF)
    printf("EOF is implemented in terms of 0x%x.\n", single_byte);

Again, this condition will be true either if getchar() actually returned EOF or if you just read a character with the value 0xff. The %x format requires an argument of type unsigned int. single_byte is of type char, which will almost certainly be promoted to int. Now you can print an int value with an unsigned int format if the value is within the representable range of both types. But since single_byte's value is -1 (it just compared equal to EOF), it's not in that range. printf, with the "%x" format, assumes that the argument is of type unsigned int (this isn't a conversion). And 0xffffffff is the likely result of taking a 32-bit int value of -1 and assuming that it's really an unsigned int.
And I'll just note that storing the result of getchar() in an int object would have been a whole lot easier than analyzing what happens when you store it in a char.

A: End-of-File is a macro definition of type int that expands into a negative integral constant expression (generally, -1).

A: EOF is not a real character so in order to allow the result of getchar() return either a valid character or an EOF, it uses a hack whereas the return type is int. You have to cast it to char after you make sure it is not an EOF.
This is a textbook example of poorly designed API.

A: It appears to be a confusion between (char) -1 and (int) -1.
getchar() returns an int with 1 of 257 different values: 0 to 255 and EOF.  EOF is less than 0 (C11 7.21.1).
Typically EOF has the value of -1 and that is so in your case.  Let's assume that for the following.
From time to time, when data is read from /dev/urandom, a value of 255 is read.  This is not the EOF.
Given that OP performs char single_byte = getchar(), single_byte takes on the same value of (char) -1 if (int) -1 (EOF) was read or if (int) 255 was read.
When next comparing single_byte != EOF, should the result be false, we do not know if original return value of getchar() was -1 or 255.
Recommend a different printf()
printf("single_byte==EOF, so (int) 255 or EOF was read: 0x%hhx\n", single_byte);

Assumptions:
char is 8 bits.
EOF is -1.

A: EOF values are
EOF => %d => -1
EOF => %c => <prints blank space but not blank space>
EOF => %x => 0xFFFFFFFF

no ascii value for EOF! so basically you cannot compare the getchar() output with EOF. Reason is when you leave blank space and press enter ASCII value of a blank space is 0x20 (32 in decimal), If you press enter then ASCII of carriage return in 0x0D (13 in decimal).
So that piece of code will not work! either you have to define a value to exit the code!

Following are excerpts of activities reported by the Jefferson police department:
Wednesday, July 17: At 10:10 am a caller advised of a fire under a tree at in the 700 block of N. Cedar St. The officer spoke to a resident and learned he was burning construction waste. He was advised to put the fire out and advised only yard waste can be burned in town. At 8:40 pm an officer recognized a vehicle parked at the Wild Rose Casino that is often driven by a male with a barred driver's license. The male has eluded numerous law enforcement agencies in the past year, including a Jefferson officer.
The officer spoke with casino surveillance team members about the issue. They reviewed video and found the male had driven the vehicle to the casino and was still currently on the gaming floor. The officer eventually located the male on the east side of the Cobblestone Hotel. Ronald Lynn Becker, 48, of Boone, was arrested for driving while barred (aggravated misdemeanor)*. At 10:05 pm a complainant advised of a kitten trapped in a storm drain at E. Lincoln Way and Cedar St. The officer contacted a Jefferson firefighter and a Jefferson public works employee to assist. They were unable to retrieve the animal. At 11:27 pm the officer was advised the Ronald Becker had bonded out of the Greene County jail after the earlier arrest by the officer for driving while license barred. The officer saw Becker walking north towards the casino on N. Elm St. The officer asked the casino security staff to monitor the cameras and advise if Becker returned to his vehicle. The officer remained in the area. Not long after, casino staff advised the officer Becker was leaving the casino parking lot in the vehicle. The officer located the vehicle just north of the casino on Highway 4 and attempted a traffic stop with the vehicle. The vehicle did not stop and chase ensued. The vehicle turned west on 210 St and travelled westbound with the officer giving chase. The vehicle reached speeds of 95 mph on the paved road and 80 mph on 210 Street, which is gravel. At the T intersection of 210th St and M Ave, Becker was travelling too fast to make the turn and the vehicle entered the west ditch. Becker fled on foot. The officer was then assisted by several JPD officers, the Greene County sheriff's office and K-9, the Boone County sheriff's office K-9 and a Carroll County sheriff's deputy. Becker was not located after a perimeter was established. The officer has requested arrest warrants for Ronald Lynn Becker, 48, of Boone for driving while barred and eluding (aggravated misdemeanor)*.
Tuesday, July 16: At 2:12 am while conducting a park check an officer located more graffiti with spray paint at Head Park. Officers are working with area businesses in attempts to develop suspects in the criminal mischiefs to area parks. At 8:31 am staff at Moe's Mart at White Oak Station spoke with an officer about a bad check accepted there on 6/21. The correct procedure has been followed. The officer requested an arrest warrant for Ronald Allen Siedelmann, 63, of Audubon for theft- fifth degree*. At 3:50 pm a complainant reported the theft of a ladder valued at $200 from a residence in the 300 block of S. Chestnut St. At 4:48 pm a complainant reported two violations of a no contact order via Facebook Messenger. The officer is investigating. At 5:45 pm a complainant reported receiving threatening videos from her former husband. Officers spoke to the male; he admitted sending the videos to her. The officer arrested Shawn Allen Ellsbury, 51, of Jefferson for harassment- first degree (aggravated misdemeanor)*.
Monday, July 15: At 8:19 am staff at HyVee reported the theft of alcohol from the store. Video footage of the event was provided to the officer and a suspect has been identified. The officer is still investigating. At 9:19 pm staff at A & W Family Restaurant reported a truck in the drive-up lane with open alcoholic beverages in plain view. The officer located the vehicle. The officer's investigation resulted in Caleb Byerly of Churdan being cited for open container- driver.

Reimagined Historically Black College To Open In Detroit
When the Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design opens in March, it will be the only HBCU in Michigan.
Written By NewsOne Staff
Historically Black colleges and universities throughout the country serve as pillars that sit at the intersection of education and culture, and this year a new institution will open in the city of Detroit. According to WXYZ Detroit, a former business school will be transformed into Michigan's only HBCU.
The school—dubbed the Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design—was cultivated for emerging Black designers, engineers, business leaders and creatives. It was previously the Lewis College of Business; a historically Black institution founded nearly 94 years ago. It initially served as a secretarial school for Black women and emerged into a business school; producing Black leaders that would go on to work at companies that included Ford and Michigan Bell. The HBCU functioned in Detroit between 1939 through 2013; shuttering 26 years after receiving its historically Black college accreditation.

Hampton University Addresses Criticism Over Free Tuition Offer To Ukraine Students
Years after the school's closure, Dr. D'Wayne Edwards—founder of the Portland-based Pensole Design Academy—petitioned to reopen the institution with a vision for it to be the country's first HBCU that had a strong focus on design. Last week, Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer signed legislation for its reopening. The bills were supported by Rep. Joe Tate and Pamela Hornberger.
Edwards says he wants the reimagined HBCU to pay homage to the legacy of Lewis College of Business founder Violet T. Lewis. "Thank you to Governor Whitmer and all of our partners for helping the grandchildren of Violet T. Lewis, Pensole and College for Creative Studies establish an HBCU in the state of Michigan," Dr. Edwards said in a statement. "Our goal is to celebrate Violet T. Lewis' life's work she established in the city of Detroit in 1939. Today moves us forward to another major step in continuing her legacy with the support of our founding partners College for Creative Studies, Target, and The Gilbert Family Foundation." The Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design is slated to officially open in March 2022.
Institutions like the Pensole Lewis College of Business and Design are needed as there remains a lack of racial diversity in the design industry.

We just heard today that we have been nominated as a finalist for the Northland Business Awards in the Customer Choice Category.
So many thanks to everyone who voted for us!
The awards are held on the 9th Oct. So fingers crossed!
Hey don't forget the school holidays are in a week so you better make your bookings for the cat real soon!
It is with regret we farewell our neighbour, Rufus.
Rufus was a mighty cat who ruled the neighbourhood, he was not liked by any of the local cats but hey he was here first and everyone else just had to accept that fact!
Our cats felt the rath of Rufus a number of times but in recent times I think they all learnt to just "be" and not upset the mighty Rufus!
We had him stay in the cattery for 6 weeks last year and he was actually quite a big softie! He loved the regular attention and even loved the Royal Canin food twice a day.
But it is over, all over, some bugger ran Rufus over on the road the other night. Cars and cats don't mix to will and poor Rufus came off second best.
he is now ruling the cat heaven, good on ya Rufus!
