Burlingame is a city in San Mateo County, California. It is located on the San Francisco Peninsula and has a significant shoreline on San Francisco Bay. An early suburb of San Francisco, the city is named after diplomat Anson Burlingame and is often referred to as the City of Trees due to the number of trees within the city and its numerous eucalyptus groves. Burlingame is known for its high residential quality of life with an excellent public school system. The current median home value in Burlingame is $1,800,000+ and as of the 2010 U.S. Census, Burlingame had a population of 28,807.
Burlingame is on the Mexican land grant Rancho San Mateo given by Governor Pio Pico to his secretary, Cayetano Arena in 1845. Cayetano soon sold the land to San Francisco-based merchant William Davis Merry Howard. Howard retired to live on the rancho for the remaining eight years of his life. Howard planted many eucalyptus trees on his property.
Howard's early death in 1856 led to the sale of most of the land to William C. Ralston, a prominent banker. In 1866, Anson Burlingame, the US Minister to Chinavisited Ralston, and by the time he left he was the owner of 1,043 acres (4 km2) of land. In 1868, Ralston named the settlement after his friend, Anson Burlingame.[9]However, Burlingame would not come back to the area again because on a visit to Russia in 1870, Burlingame died. With his death the land reverted to Ralston.
Ralston had plans for the area which he called "Ralstonville", but he died in 1875 without many of his plans being realized. The land then passed to Ralston's business partner Senator William Sharon. Sharon died in 1885, and Sharon's son-in-law, Francis G. Newlands, became executor of Sharon's estate. Newlands had grand plans of his own. His vision was to build estates that surrounded a country club, similar to the development he helped create in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The Burlingame Country Club was organized in 1893.
After the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, many people looking to escape the hardships of a city in ruins flocked south. Hundreds of lots in Burlingame were sold in 1906 and 1907. Just two years after the quake, the town of Burlingame was incorporated June 6, 1908. By 1910, the neighboring town of Easton, on the former Rancho Buri Buri, was annexed and became part of Burlingame as well.
Burlingame is known as the "City of Trees" due to the number of trees within the city (18,000 public trees). In 1908, the Burlingame board of trustees passed an ordinance "prohibiting cutting, injuring, or destroying trees".[10] Most residential properties have trees owned and protected by the city on their public right of way. In addition the city has many parks and Eucalyptus groves that add to the overall tree numbers. The Eucalyptus groves are west of the city on Interstate 280 and grow along many city streets, such as the heritage Jules Francard Grove along the Caltrain tracks north of Burlingame Avenue,[11] following El Camino Real, and along other smaller local streets, such as Burlingame Avenue. Washington Park, with Burlingame Avenue at its southern edge, Burlingame High School at its northern edge, and the Caltrain line at its western edge is the oldest park in Burlingame. It was originally part of the estate of millionaire cigar retailer Moses A. Gunst, and some of the existing large trees within the park were part of this estate.
There are four highways passing through Burlingame. Highway 101 runs near the bay, coming from San Jose and going to San Francisco. Highway 82, also known asEl Camino Real, follows a parallel course. Highway 35 connects with Interstate 280.

Q: Jetty Filter to modify the Response - java.lang.IllegalStateException: WRITER I am trying to modify the http response in a filter and am getting the following exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: WRITER   at

    at
  com.cisco.vsx.node.proxy.http.RegexFilter.doFilter(RegexFilter.java:36)

I am using SelectChannelSelector and ProxyServlet.Transparent proxy.
Below is the snippet from test class
ServletContextHandler context = new ServletContextHandler(ServletContextHandler.SESSIONS);
context.setContextPath("/");

ProxyServlet.Transparent p1 = new ProxyServlet.Transparent("/proxy",
    "www.cisco.com", 80);
ServletHolder servletHolder = new ServletHolder(p1);
context.addServlet(servletHolder, "/proxy/*");
context.addFilter(new FilterHolder(RegexFilter.class), "/*", null);

server.setHandler(context);

server.start();
server.join();

This is the code from filter class
PrintWriter out = response.getWriter();
CharResponseWrapper wrapper = new CharResponseWrapper((HttpServletResponse) response);

chain.doFilter(request, wrapper);

String html = wrapper.toString();
if (regex != null && response.getContentType() != null
        && response.getContentType().startsWith("text/html")) {
    Matcher matcher = regex.matcher(html);
    Map<Integer, Integer> matches = new LinkedHashMap<Integer, Integer>();
    while (matcher.find()) {
        int start = matcher.start(1);
        System.out.println("START" + start);
        int end = matcher.end(1);
        System.out.println("END" + end);
        matches.put(start, end - start);
    }
    StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer();
    int start = 0;
    for (int startIndex : matches.keySet()) {
        String str = html.substring(start, startIndex) + "/proxy/";
        sb.append(str);
        start = startIndex + matches.get(startIndex);
    }
    html = sb.toString();
}

response.setContentLength(html.getBytes().length);
out.write(html);

Not sure where stuff is going wrong.

A: Your Jetty Response can be in two (technically three) distinct modes. One is the writer mode, the other one is the streaming mode (and the third one is basically the undecided mode).
If you call getWriter() on an 'undecided' response, you're putting it in writer mode, which can't be reversed. If something later tries to use this response in streaming mode (by calling getOutputStream()) the Exception you see is thrown.
To fix this, don't use this response in writer mode and 'do your thing' on the OutputStream instead. If you were accessing the writer at a later point (after doChain), you'd get the inverse Exception

java.lang.IllegalStateException: STREAM

instead.

Q: Are there any easy-to-follow/reliable methods for simplifying code? There is a problem with the way I code. Regardless of how much of a plan I write beforehand, the code becomes overcomplicated quickly.
Reading books on good practice and attempting to adhere to their principles isn't working.
Is there some surefire/proven way of auditing code to simplify it, other than being more thorough and dedicated in the planning stage?

A: The easiest way is to get yourself a mentor who writes clean code, show him or her your messy code, and ask what's wrong with it.
The thing to realize is clean code doesn't happen at the planning stage, and you can't continually "adhere" to clean coding principles.  You can only periodically reset to them.  You will write messy code.  As soon as you recognize it, you fix it.  The more frequently you reset your code, the better it will be.
You said you've read books on the principles, so you know what they are.  You can be methodical about resetting to them.  It's often helpful to take a principle to extremes before backing off.  Like tuning an instrument, it's easier to hear the proper set point if you first go way past it.  If your function is way too long, split it into the smallest possible pieces, then recombine a little perhaps.

A: ....no. There is not.
I never really thought before of the idea of such a thing existing because it's relatively obvious there's no perfect solution, but now that you mention it....that would be awesome!
However no, there is not nor will there ever be a perfect solution to ensuring your code isn't terrible, quickly, slowly, or inbetween (sluickly?).

A: Practice.
No, really.
You will never fully appreciate a technique in a book or blog post until you've written your first plate of spaghetti or big ball of mud, and realize that many of these techniques are just effective ways to tame that complexity.  Then you will understand them at a deeper level, much deeper than the cargo cultist who is just stringing patterns together to look cool, but doesn't fully understand the reasons behind them.
Check out the patterns.  Are any of them easy?  Well, they're definitely easier than writing a plate of spaghetti or a big ball of mud, and having to maintain it later.  But you still have to make a study of these patterns.  Even the best painter uses more than one brush.

A: My one surefire way is:

Not being afraid to refactor the plan at the first hint that the code
  is turning complex.

(Which, of course, does not negate at all what you have already mentioned about being more thorough and dedicated in the planning stage.)

A: There are indeed techniques for gradually simplifying code and improving design by doing so. The general technique is known as "refactoring". Note that this term is used both informally (to mean "anything that changes how code is designed without changing what it does") and formally (to mean "following a specific refactoring discipline"). I am referring to the latter definition here.
In particular, this problem has been much studied by Martin Fowler, and his book "Refactoring: Improving the design of existing code" is one of the classic books of software engineering, and is well worth reading in this area.
The general technique that the book suggests is:
1) Write very detailed tests for the section of code you intend to refactor.
2) Make a specific SMALL change to the code. For example, inline a method, rename a class, extract some code into a new method, extract a superclass from an existing class, etc. (Fowler has detailed lists of many such small transformations in his book, along with suggestions on how/when to do them. Most of the names of existing "automatic refactoring" features such as those in Eclipse, IntelliJ, etc. were taken from those used in his book. Essentially, these are like "design patterns" but are used for modifying existing code rather than for designing it in the first place.)
3) Re-run your tests, to verify that you haven't broken anything yet.
4) Repeat until you are satisfied with the results.
Thus, large changes to the code can be made by accumulating multiple small changes, with testing between each change.
Obviously, if you are in the habit of writing and retaining detailed tests for your code in the first place (a unit test suite, regression test suite, etc.), the above process will be much easier than if you have to write the tests immediately before you start refactoring. Also, it will be much easier to do this if the part of your test suite that you are re-running between each change is capable of running quite quickly.
Note that refactoring code in this way is a DISCIPLINE. It is not the same as simply randomly going around changing code. The frequent testing during the process is essential for ensuring that any inadvertent changes that you make to the program's behavior are quickly caught, while you can still remember what you did. For this reason, it is also often a good idea to do refactoring separately from other development which adds or changes the behavior of the program, since those sorts of changes are likely to invalidate existing tests. You could, for instance, alternate phases: Add a feature, then refactor a bit, then add another feature, then refactor some more, then fix a bug, then refactor, etc.
If you are consistent in programming using these techniques to simplify your code, the overall trend of your code over time will be that it gradually becomes simpler and easier to read, rather than the reverse (which is, sadly, more common in industry).
You may also find that some of the community around the Agile and/or XP software development methodologies may be helpful as to how/when/what to refactor, since continuous refactoring in this manner is considered a required feature of many such methodologies.
I have seen many projects gradually become so crufty and complicated that nobody understood them and they eventually had to be discarded, because maintaining them eventually took more effort than rewriting them would. Refactoring is a way to avoid this problem.

A: If at all possible, use an IDE supplied with (at least) these two components:

*

*some kind of static code checker with metrics and, if you can, a report tool.

*a quick way to refactor code (hunt symbols and so on).

Books are great to understand the why and the how - you need a tool that will pitilessly ferret out the what and the how much.
You can then check periodically the code you wrote, and wherever e.g. the cyclomatic complexity of a function exceeds a predetermined threshold, you refactor the function. And so on. Put aside some time in each development cycle and devote it to refactoring; that's a possible "when". With time and practice you'll be able both to better estimate the refactoring overhead, and reduce said overhead by fixing most things almost automatically as you go by. Also, you'll be able to see what metrics (and values thereof) work best for you.
(Finally, "overhead" is a mistaken label - think of it as "small and comfortable down payments that allow your code not to go into huge technical debt, and bankrupt the project at some time in the future").

A: In my experience, if a software developer doesn't properly understand the system/domain he is writing the code for then the code is quite likely to become over-complicated.
The reason for this is fairly obvious. Simple code has a structure that mirrors the problem being solved or the domain being modelled. That way the code's behaviour tends to emerge from the structure, rather than being encoded as a large number of explicit cases.
Another way to spot this error is when you need a large number of test cases to check that the code is working properly and you discover failures in all sorts of edge cases. If the software had been designed well then there wouldn't be as many edge cases.
So work hard at trying to understand the problem domain or the system you are modelling. Don't just accept a specification or set of requirements from someone else and code to that. Break down barriers between the domain experts and the software engineers; become a domain expert yourself.

A: Post your code to Code Review, and let someone else simplify it for you.  ☺
In seriousness, if you study the simplifications recommended among the thousands of Code Review answers, you'll find that the range of techniques is far too broad to summarize in an answer.  Just off the top of my head, I can think of:

*

*Don't reinvent the wheel.  Don't write code at all, if possible.

*Pick the right programming language for the job.  (Joining two datasets is vastly easier in SQL than in Java, for example.)

*Write code that is idiomatic for the chosen language.  (For example, in Python, take advantage of itertools and list comprehensions.)

*Use an appropriate framework or library where possible.

*Pick the right algorithm.  (Sometimes there will be a speed / simplicity trade-off, though.)

*Avoid premature optimization.

*KISS and YAGNI

*Pick the right data structure.

*Use recursion / iteration where appropriate.  Use OOP / functional programming where appropriate.

*Use design patterns that fit your problem.

*Refactor relentlessly.

*… and more…

Basically, as @RobertHarvey says, Practice.  But now I've given you a resource where you can take advantage of other programmers' experience.

FOX: American Idol still gives its network an easy win on Wednesday night (the 4.0 adult 18-49 rating doubles second-place ABC's primetime average). But the singing competition show just keeps dropping, down 15% from last week's premiere episode and 28% below the comparable episode last year.
ABC and NBC rebounded a bit from last week, most notably Law & Order SVU and The Middle (each up four tenths of a rating point from last week) and Modern Family (up three tenths).
But CBS went against the grain, with the entire night dropping three tenths of a rating point from last week, paced by a big drop for CSI (down three to four tenths, depending on rounding).
WEDNESDAY Ratings
Preliminary ratings are delayed by Nielsen until at least 9:30 am PT (90 minutes past due). The ratings service is performing extra "quality checks," so be prepared for unusually high quality ratings later this morning!

I feel like they were laughing at the song more'so than the passing of Nipsey but it was in poor taste either way, the news/social media is a sh*t show.
Lol it's okay. No one knows their names past what they do on the idiot box. Same type white folks cant look a n*gga square in the eye..coward a*s worth less than a piece of dog sh*t.

That whole segment was a try to sh*t on black folks moment at Fox News.
Forgot he made this song.smh.
I don't care if Donald Trump personally cured cancer, fu*k 'em.
Who expected more from this racist piece of trash?
Perhaps you shouldn't have referred to him as a wierdo liberal but yes I do agree with the rest of your point. Nipsey made no secret about his disdain for Trump and of course he is a champion in the eyes of Fox News so there was never gonna be anything positive that they would say about Nipsey.
Exactly what I think every time I see his ignored post message.
Some of you need to learn how to ignore and and slap.
Trolls live and breathe off of slaps!! That's what you dumb dudes don't get. You think slaps are negative when they are positive. As they say in media, there is no such thing as bad press. If you slap, that means you have interatcted and acknowledge the existence of the troll. The only way to get rid of a troll is to ignore them COMPLETELY.
DO NOT SLAP. DO NOT LIKE. DO NOT QUOTE. DO NOT COMMENT.
You took my post way more seriously than what was needed. Take a down a notch son.

By 8 a.m., Ko'Dan had made enough of his "perfect breen" to satisfy his appetite, with plenty remaining to comprise the gift for the Narn captain. He gave them the excess as "samples," reminding them again of the keys to making great breen.
They left the remaining ingredients for Ko'Dan, and he bid them happiness and long life.
At the door, Isabelle hesitated. "Have you ever been to a fortune-teller?"
"A strange question," Ko'Dan said. "I went only once, the night I met Na'Rad. I asked if she might ever love me. The fortune-teller said yes, if I bathed more often! I was bathing three and four times a day until she agreed to mate with me."
Isabelle smiled. "Was there a reason you chose that particular fortune-teller?"
Ko'Dan's eyes narrowed in curiosity. "This teller was not well known, but I passed her table every day in the market. It was unadorned with the trappings used by so many- the lace, the cards, the nonsense. Those things came from the Centauri influence. Because of that, I suppose, I felt she could be trusted."
Galen exchanged embarrassed glances with Isabelle. They should have researched the tradition more thoroughly.
"I know of no fortune-tellers here," Ko'Dan said. "Did you want to consult one?"
"I was curious," Isabelle said.
"One look and I can tell you two will be very happy together," he said.
"Thank you," she said.
When he closed the door, they both laughed again, for no particular reason, then began racing toward the tube with their precious gift of breen. Morning had come, and as they dodged through the cold, busy streets, Galen found he could

Ethan Iverson (the Bad Plus) Talks Harrison Birtwistle's Chamber Music
Sir Harrison Birtwistle has always dared to ask the hard questions, searching for the most extreme expression that angular modernism can find.

Harrison Birtwistle
song cycles
Sir Harrison Birtwistle has always dared to ask the hard questions, searching for the most extreme expression that angular modernism can find. In 2007 he managed to create a minor scandal in England with his ferocious Panic for alto saxophone and orchestra. Many of his other works seem as subtle as a team of rugby players throwing rocks at each other.
Don't be put off by the surface noise. Birtwistle is one of the great composers, and his best works don't just reflect the chaos of modern life; they are also connected to theatre, folklore and the primeval.
Birtwistle's latest album Chamber Music is comparatively gentle next to orchestral assaults like Panic, Earth Dances (1986), or The Triumph of Time (1971-1972). Birtwistle turns 80 in July, so perhaps he is mellowing a bit, but another important factor in this album's accessibility is the production by ECM Records founder Manfred Eicher.
Chamber Music comes to us via ECM, which might once have been typecast as an advocate for harmonious contemporary classical music artists like Arvo Pärt and Steve Reich, but in recent years more recondite voices like Alfred Schnittke, Giacinto Scelsi, Bernd Alois Zimmermann and György Kurtág have turned up on the label. ECM also has helped shine light on less-established composers like Valentin Silvestrov and Thomas Larcher.
For this current project, it seems like Eicher looked for the Birtwistle works that most suited the classic ECM sound: reverberant, thoughtful and intimate. The polished performers show secure understanding of both the composer and the producer, and the result highlights the profound subtleties of Birtwistle's harmonic sensibility.
The disc is bookended by collections of short settings of the late American poet Lorine Niedecker, performed by soprano Amy Freston and cellist Adrian Brendel. Unlike some of his peers, Birtwistle writes for the voice, not against it, allowing Freston to deliver this concentrated expressionism with relative naturalness. The cello part is vibrant, with the thunking pizzicato that accompanies the arco in the first song ("Always North of Him") being particularly striking.
In his excellent liner notes, English composer and music critic Bayan Northcott suggests that Sir Harrison has recently been listening to Ludvig van Beethoven, Felix Mendelssohn, and Richard Wagner. These relatively new interests for Birtwistle have borne fruit in conventionally scored and titled works like "Trio for Violin, violoncello, and piano." However, to my ears, "Trio…" is the most recognizably Birtwistlian piece on the album. One of Birtwistle's thumbprints is jagged ostinati, and several of them jangle away in pleasing fashion during the course of the the composition's lone movement. At the climax, all three musicians — Brendel, pianist Till Fellner and violinist Lisa Batiashvili — must push their instruments to extremes in classic Birtwistlian fashion.
While "Trio…" is unusually transparent for Birtwistle, it undoubtedly remains rather "difficult" in the manner of much modernist atonal composition. One way to parse this sort of piece is to keep re-listening: put the "Trio…" movement on repeat in your iPod and go for a long walk. Eventually the phrases will cohere into sentences and paragraphs.
The longest piece on this recital is also the standout. The "Bogenstrich" cycle is comprised of five sections of six minutes apiece:
"Liebes-Lied 1" (song for baritone and piano)
"Lied ohne Worte" (cello and piano)
"Variationen" (cello and piano)
"Wie eine Fuge" (cello and piano)
"Liebes-Lied 2" (same song, different setting for baritone and cello)
Northcott's notes helpfully explain the way "Bogenstrich" took shape: the initial commission of "Lied ohne Worte" became the starting point for an interconnected cycle of meditations on Rainer Maria Rilke's famous poem "Liebes-Lied." ("Bogenstrich" means "bow-stroke" and the word is featured in the poem.)
While "Bogenstrich" is not a work that gives up its secrets easily, it is impossible not to respond to Birtwistle's heartfelt autumnal emotion. Once again, performers and production couldn't be better; Brendel and Fellner are compelling advocates for this major work, and baritone Roderick Williams exhibits both passion and precise intonation. When Birtwistle's 81st year begins next month, it will only make sense to blast his noisiest stuff in high celebration at high noon. But in the evening, "Bogenstrich" will be the perfect closer.

Q: Determining which thread my task ran in while using asyncio I have some code that looks like this:
    sem = asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrency)
    async def run_concurrent(invocation):
        async with sem:
            return await _run_invocation_with_timeout(invocation, timeout_seconds)

    return await asyncio.gather(
        *(run_concurrent(invocation) for invocation in invocations)
    )

Behind the scenes, this gives me max_concurrency workers running in parallel.  How can I get some unique identifier which distinguishes which "thread" the invocation is actually running on?  The reason i want this is so that I can emit some timing information in json that can be loaded into chrome://tracing so that I can visualize the parallelism of my application.
Is it sufficient to start a counter at 0, increment it every time a task starts, and decrement it when a task finishes?  Will this accurately model the way the work is scheduled by the runtime?

A: As user481516342 pointed out in an earlier comment, this probably isn't possible to do 100% accurately.  Through a roundabout method and sacrificing 100% correctness, I came up with something that is close enough for my purposes though, and it's surprisingly simple.
My original code now looks like this:
sem = asyncio.Semaphore(max_concurrency)
tasks = list(range(1, max_concurrency+1))
async def run_concurrent(invocation):
    async with sem:
        invocation.task_id = tasks.pop()
        result = await _run_invocation_with_timeout(invocation, timeout_seconds)
        tasks.insert(0, invocation.task_id)
        return result

return await asyncio.gather(
    *(run_concurrent(invocation) for invocation in invocations)
)

This isn't 100% accurate because if max_concurrency is say 4 my algorithm might decide that tasks A, B, and C get ids 1, 2, and 3 whereas internally they run in 2, 3, and 4.  For the purposes of visualizing the parallelism though, I think this is sufficiently close to the real thing.

Variations to Child Access
24-04-2015 | Author: Charles Morrison
Change the Order — Not the Diapers!!
In Family Law, the pendulum sometimes swings.
Take the issue of time-sharing (as I now like to refer to it) between separated parents. Several years ago, a lawyer could safely predict that, absent special considerations or factors, the typical schedule for the "access" parent (i.e. the parent who did not have the child or children living with him or her) would include alternate weekends, a mid-week supper hour visit as well as a share of holidays. For infants and toddlers under 2 years of age, access would not include overnights. On the other hand, it might include shorter, more frequent periods.
Children of different ages or stages of development have different needs and abilities when it comes to spending extended periods of time away from the home of their main residential parent.
This kind of "alternate weekends and one-evening-a-week" schedule still appears in a number of court decisions and even in privately-negotiated separation agreements. However the pendulum does swing occasionally: our Courts have been more willing to change and even expand the time sharing in appropriate cases. More and more, we have two working parents whose work schedules may not comprise the Monday to Friday 9 to 5 work week. Or, where one parent is more involved in a particular extracurricular activity (eg. Dad is coach of the child's soccer team), access time may be tailored to games and practises. Fathers in particular have been more vocal in seeking additional time beyond weekends that begin on a Friday night (or Saturday morning) and end on a Sunday evening. Some courts will extend the Sunday night to a Monday morning at school and in doing so, eliminate the possibility of Sunday night conflict between the parents. Sometimes, two weekday supper hour visits are ordered.
More recently, there appears to be a strong push by some — often the father, in my experience– for "equal time", whether on a "2 day-2 day- 3 day" basis or a "week about" schedule. They argue "what could be fairer than the child spending equal time in the care of each parent?". Some court decisions order equal time sharing however still the most will award to one parent the majority of time with the child. It is hard to predict. Our overriding principle in family law is the child's "best interests", although each of the parties to a dispute over custody or access to children will have their own viewpoint as to what those best interests are. Evidence from third party sources, including social work professionals is often helpful to our courts in determining what those best interests are.
I had not intended this blog to be about custody, access and time-sharing. (That topic alone could fill several pages.) However a recent decision by the Ontario Court of Appeal concerns me. Court of Appeal decisions are very important as they serve as important precedent for lower courts and can also influence negotiations when there is no court proceeding.
In family law, there is a special proceeding known as a variation proceeding (or Motion to Vary) when a party seeks to change a previous permanent court order. There can be a whole host of reasons for bringing variation proceedings including changes in financial circumstances that necessitate changes in support orders. Or, for example, one or both parents may be seeking changes in existing custody or time-sharing arrangements due to job changes, moves, what they claim to be the children's own wishes or other circumstances. The list is endless.
What happens when a child who was only five when the original order was made, has now turned 9? Suppose that the previous order provided for access to a father every other weekend through to Monday morning and also a Wednesday overnight every week. At age 9, does the child's "advancing maturity" by itself justify spending more time with the access parent?
In the Court of Appeal decision,1 the father of nine-year old D. sought expansion of a similar schedule to an equal time arrangement. The previous court order was made when D. was five years old and was of the alternate weekend and mid-week visit type. The father claimed that D. being older and more mature, would benefit from such a schedule. He also argued that other changes had occurred, namely that the mother had remarried, she had two other children to care for and D. had been diagnosed with a learning disability. He felt that equal time would mean less change for D. between households and eliminate any conflict about extracurricular activities. Generally the mother and father got along well with one another and neither was critical of the other's parenting abilities.
The variation trial was heard by a judge of the Ontario Superior Court, who decided that there was no reason to change the present order. The father appealed.
The Court of Appeal upheld the decision. They relied heavily on a decision of our highest Court (the Supreme Court of Canada)2 to set out the legal test for variation of a previous order. In short, there must be a "material change in circumstances" that has occurred since the original order.3 That material change must have "altered the child's needs or the ability of the parents to meet those needs in a fundamental way". The change must be one that could not have been foreseen or could not have been reasonably contemplated at the time of the original order.
In variation proceedings, the "onus" is on the party seeking the change to prove this.
The Court of Appeal agreed with the trial judge's findings. The trial judge found that D. was a "happy, well-adjusted, caring child who is thriving … his needs are being met on an ongoing basis". The fact that he was now older and more mature did not in itself constitute a material change. There was no third party evidence (as could have been obtained if the Office of the Children's Lawyer had been part of the proceeding) to suggest that D.'s needs were not being met that, in turn, could lead to the finding that his increased age and maturity were materialchanges. Neither the remarriage of the mother, the expansion of the mother's family nor the diagnosis of a learning disability met the test of material change either.
This decision strikes me as rather restrictive. Maybe it was the lack of third party expert evidence however do we really need to get a social worker's opinion as to whether an extra day or two to an access parent will meet the child's present "needs"? Needs are not quite the same as best interests. A child may not necessarily "need" to spend extra time with dad …. but would the child benefit from that extra time even if the present schedule appears to be working well for the child?
Factual situations often influence the decision. In this case, the father already had fairly liberal time with D., including alternate weekends that extended overnight to Monday morning and a weekday overnight. There is nothing to suggest one way or another that equal time is beneficial or that even "more" time with one parent is necessarily beneficial to the child. In his case, he did not produce any evidence from a social worker, psychologist or other professional to show such benefit, even if such evidence were to exist. There is in fact a lack of research as to the long term survival and success rate of equal time-sharing arrangements.
But what about for example settlements or court orders for very young children? If, chiefly as a result of his or her age, a two-year old just out of diapers is staying overnight only on Saturday (but not on either Friday or Sunday) and the arrangement seems to be working well for the child, what hurdles will the father have to obtain any expansion as the child gets progressively older? What about an infant who spends the daytime with the access parent but not overnight? When will that expand to full overnights and multiple days in a row?
With rare exceptions, settlements and court orders do not plan for or phase in varying and changing time-sharing schedules as children get older.
The case suggests to me that a parent and his or her lawyer must be very careful when crafting a settlement agreement to ensure that a child's advancing age may be included in the factors to be taken into account in determining whether there has been a material change in circumstances.4
So long as the pendulum keeps swinging.

[3] "material" suggests a high standard of importance and significance. Not every change that occurs in the life of a child or a parent is "material" for the purposes of variation.

When you drive by historic houses in Frisco, do you ever wonder about the people who once lived there? There is an interesting story behind every one of these Frisco heirlooms, regardless of a home's current appearance. Sometimes, you just have to research to uncover the history about a landmark you may travel by every day.
Take the old, dilapidated farmhouse on Main Street, at the southeast corner of Brinkmann Ranch, between Coit Road and Independence Parkway, for example. The almost spooky looking house certainly has seen better days, and it will soon be torn down due to Main Street widening and nearby developments. Research shows that the house was once a beautiful cottage-style home that sat on a 264-acre family farm. It was a home filled with love and was impeccably maintained by the young Carter Fisher family for decades. Let us go back in time to tell the tale!
Most of the farmland surrounding Frisco was first deeded to families in the 1840s under the terms of the Peters Colony Land Grant negotiated with the Republic of Texas just prior to Texas becoming a state. Pioneers came primarily from Kentucky and Tennessee seeking the rich soil for farming. They arrived in Texas in droves because the land was free. A single man was granted 320 acres, whereas a family was granted 640 acres.
Long before there was Frisco, these farmers birthed Lebanon and Little Elm, the two largest towns in the area during the mid-1800s. They also developed the nearby settlements of Foncine, Rock Hill, Bethel, Erudia and a few others that are now incorporated into Frisco's city limits. Most of these early settlements were spaced three to four miles apart (about the maximum range children could either walk or ride their horses to school), with one-room schoolhouses located in the center of the town.
Carter Fisher's father, Robert Coleman Fisher, arrived in McKinney in 1872. The Fisher family had followed a wagon train west in their migration from Kentucky to California, but they stopped for Robert's birth and found temporary employment in Edina. Three years later, they read a Peters Colony land advertisement and traveled south on the Shawnee Trail to McKinney to take advantage of the free 640 acres. In 1890, Robert married his first wife, Maimee, the daughter of the prominent McKinney McDonald family. Sadly, Maimee passed away at only 21 years old after giving birth to Carter's half brother and half sister.
Robert headed west to the small town of Foncine. He started a general store, gristmill, gin and a grain elevator. Robert and his second wife, Eliza Carter, wed in 1895 and had six children, with Benjamin "Carter" being the oldest.
Robert, an interesting, successful pioneer, also bought a large farm near present-day Rogers Road and Fisher Road (which was aptly named for his family). Before the mechanical age of farming, he was legendary for his unbounded energy. He could drive two separate breaking plows, running to the head of the team and turning it while the other team caught up at the corner. He was also one of the bidders present on February 7, 1902, when the very first lots in downtown Emerson (later re-named Frisco) were sold by auction.
After Carter's birth in 1896, he was raised in Foncine and then later at the Fisher family farm. In 1914, after growing up attending school, Carter left to fight in World War I. He returned in 1917 and spent the next 10 to 15 years working on several Fisher family farms in both Collin and Denton counties. Carter married Celestia Kanaman of Frisco in either late 1919 or early 1920. U.S. Census records report that Carter was 23 and Celestia was 20 when they wed. School records do not show either of them ever graduating from Frisco schools. The 1930 U.S. Census reports that they rented a home in rural Denton County, but the 1940 U.S. Census shows they owned the Main Street farmhouse by that time.
It is believed that Carter built the farmhouse in the mid-1930s with help from his brothers and a few contractors. The house is now approximately 80 years old. The original house was described by past Frisco mayor Bob Warren as "a typical California bungalow." It had just two bedrooms, a kitchen, a formal pantry area, a combined living room and dining room and an outhouse in back. The Fisher house was larger than most cottages, measuring around 884 square feet. Another 400-500 square feet were added in two later phases, bringing the home to a roomy 1,300-1,400 square feet. The new additions brought a third bedroom, plus a very large light and bright back room (that was used by later tenants as either a family room or a fourth bedroom) plus two bathrooms.
Carter was frugal and built these two additions mostly by hand with materials bought during good crop years. The house was built entirely of wood, with the exception of two brick columns on the front porch. Most homes in Frisco were not brick (Jim Newman built the first brick house in Frisco in 1918 at the southern-most point on 5th Street).
On U.S. Census forms and military records, the formal address of the historical house was listed as "Frisco, Texas, Collin County, four miles east of town." It was assigned a permanent Main Street address sometime after being incorporated into Frisco in 1984. It was not an easy drive to downtown Frisco across four miles of a muddy, rutted FM 720 road. One of the closest neighbors to the house was the Box Ranch, the predecessor to Brinkmann Ranch.
Unlike his father, who had 13 servants helping on his farm (according to the 1900 U.S. Census), Carter now had the advantage of modern farm automation like tractors and combines. Carter grew grains like maize, corn, wheat and cotton. He raised cattle, horses and chickens. Before this farm became overgrown with trees, a 1968 aerial map shows a neatly mowed farm with a large barn and almost a dozen out buildings behind the farmhouse.
Celestia was known as an immaculate housekeeper. The house was fashionably decorated and included polished wood floors and a beautiful chandelier in the formal dining room. Celestia represented a new generation of farmers' wives who were not out elbow-deep in the fields when they were not cooking or doing household chores. The advent of farming automation reduced the need for wives to assist at harvest time.
Whereas Celestia was quite social, Carter preferred to spend his time alone in the fields. Patsy Scott remembers his high degree of intelligence, saying, "Carter had the finest mind." Fellow farmer, Bob Hooper, recalls that Carter always had the cleanest truck in town and sometimes drove the tractor in a shirt and tie. Carter only left the farm for church, a few farm-related errands and to attend close family funerals. However, he helped his nephew, Jasper Fisher, with Boy Scout Troop 290 (Frisco's oldest Boy Scout troop, now Troop 298) in the mid-1940s.
The Fishers' only child, Mary Celestia Fisher, was born on July 26, 1925, in Frisco. A 1928 Frisco Journal article shows 3-year-old Mary attending a party with the then 7-year-old future mayor Bob Warren. Mary's grandfather, Robert Fisher, passed on April 15, 1942, and she later attended the University of Michigan and became an actuary. She rarely returned to Frisco, but her past classmates describe her as an intelligent and accomplished business woman who successfully competed in a business world then dominated by men. She started her own nationwide actuarial consulting firm in 1964.
During the years the Fishers worked the farm, farming was the number one occupation in Frisco, as well as the city's primary economic generator. Farming was the primary topic of conversation and it was even taught in school, which was routinely let out in late September and early October for the two-week cotton harvest that required all hands on deck. The Cobb brothers and Dale Newman are known as the last family farmers in town, and they harvested their final crops in 1998, signaling the end of the farming era in Frisco.
After Carter experienced a stroke in the late 1960s, he and Celestia moved to their retirement "city house." Various members of the extended Fisher family worked the farm and the farmhouse was rented out to decades of tenants. Sadly, Carter passed away in 1972 and Celestia died in 1986.
Celestia had sold the family farm in 1983, at the height of the Frisco "bubble," as land speculators swooped in and bought up family farms by the dozen. Sam Roach, a longtime community leader, says, "I had known the Fishers all of my life. We went to the Frisco Methodist Church. I shall always remember this particular transaction because the buyers made an offer and then upped it a little to approximately $4.7 or $4.8 million. During one of my visits with Celestia, she kind of smiled at me and said, '$5 million has such a nice ring to it.'" The farm was sold to a group of land speculators who were later absorbed into Brinkmann Ranch's vast holding of 3,500 acres. Carter had bought the farm for approximately $25 an acre, based on Sam Roach's comparative mid-1930s farm transactions in the immediate area, and then sold it in 1983 for $18,939 per acre.
Mary passed away in 2004. She donated $8.5 million to Children's Medical Center of Dallas to create a fund to hire pediatric physicians and train young physicians to become clinical researchers. She was a generous donor to the Frisco Methodist Church and she is listed as one of the top women and alumna philanthropists from the University of Michigan.
What a philanthropic donation to make to Children's Medical Center. It was quite a large donation from what was such a small farming family. Back then, the Fishers probably lived on a tight farmer's budget. During some bad weather years, they might not have had any crop revenue and probably bought groceries from Henry's Grocery on credit. Now, they may be smiling down from above knowing that their hard work and personal sacrifices helped so many sick children.
What will happen to the 80-year-old farmhouse now? As of July of 2015, the portion of the farm and the farmhouse were bought from Brinkmann Ranch by Landon Development at a reported average price of $174,240 per acre. It is soon to be developed as part of the new Lexington gated community. The house is no longer structurally sound enough to be moved or remodeled and there is too much wood rot for it to be saved. The roof and floors have caved in and the new owners have posted "no trespassing" signs for the public's safety.
Every old house has a story. The Frisco residents who made this farmhouse their home have a history and played an important role in the past. If the walls of houses here in Frisco could talk, they would likely tell amazing tales and share a wealth of history that we might otherwise never know.

SeriesKevin Noonan on SportsSports
Early Games Will Define Hen's Season – and Brock's Future
By Kevin Noonan
Kevin Noonan
Kevin Noonan has covered and commented on the Delaware sports scene for more than 30 years, everything from amateur recreation leagues and high schools to local colleges and the Philadelphia professional teams. He's been voted Delaware Sportswriter of the Year multiple times and currently covers the Philadelphia Eagles for CBSSports.com and teaches creative writing courses at Wilmington University.
UD Head Football Coach Dave Brock
It's not often that the second and third games of a season are critical, especially since they're against mediocre opponents who won a total of four games last season. But for coach Dave Brock and his Delaware Blue Hens, their football season – and Brock's future in Newark — could be determined by what happens this week and next.
Brock is at the must-win part of the season already simply because he hasn't won enough in his three years as coach, at least not when you consider the tradition and the expectations of Delaware football. He took over for the mostly-popular and mostly-successful K.C. Keeler and it didn't help Brock's profile with the Blue Hens faithful that he a) had no previous Delaware connections like Keeler and Tubby Raymond did before him; and b) he was hired by an old crony from Boston College even though Delaware was supposed to conduct a national search and even though Brock had never been a head coach before.
But now that old crony – former athletic director Eric Ziady — isn't here anymore to protect Brock and the new administration already proved that it has no problem disconnecting from the past when it fired mostly-popular and mostly-unsuccessful basketball coach Monte Ross.
The fact is, we don't know if Brock is a good coach or not, even though the available evidence suggests he's not, or at least not a good recruiter, which is the heart and soul of any successful program. Delaware is 17-18 in Brock's three seasons and his only winning season was his first one, and that was done mostly with Keeler's players. Since then, Delaware is 10-13 and that, of course, isn't acceptable around these parts.
Brock's players play hard and they compete to the end and they seem to have great camaraderie and that is always a credit to the head coach and his staff. But they just don't win nearly enough.
That's why this week's game against Lafayette is so important. Delaware dusted Delaware State last week, as expected, and that gave the Hens a nice boost of confidence, not to mention a winning record. And now they play another team they should stomp – Lafayette finished 1-10 last season. If the Hens struggle against the Leopards or, worse, lose to them, then all of the positive vibes from the Delaware State game will be gone.
Then Delaware steps up a level when it plays Wake Forest of the Atlantic Coast Conference, but even that game will be telling. Wake Forest, which beat Tulane 7-3 in its opener last week, finished 3-9 last season and was picked to finish seventh — last — in the ACC's Atlantic Division by the league's coaches.
So, Delaware starts the season with three bad teams and they need to win all of them before they dive into their Colonial Athletic Association schedule. The coaches in that conference feel the same way about Delaware as the ACC coaches feel about Wake Forest – they also picked the Blue Hens to finish seventh. Victories will be difficult to come by in the CAA and the Hens need all the momentum and confidence they can get before they hit that part of their schedule.
Whether it's fair or not really doesn't matter. If you're the head coach of Delaware you have to win, period. So, even though we're only into the second week of the season, the clock is already ticking for Dave Brock.

Jeremy Strong Helps Extend Rush's Reach
Hospital Systems
VP Jeremy Strong discusses the big-picture impact a strong supply chain has on improving quality for Rush University Medical Center's operations, patients, and neighborhood
By KC Esper
Neighborhoods composing Chicago's West Side are home to nearly 500,000 people of the city's 2.7 million population. Since the late nineteenth century, this area has been shaped by triumph and tragedy, serving as nesting grounds for thousands of immigrants from Russia, Poland, Ukraine, Italy, Mexico, and Greece; cutting the ribbon for new Green and Blue CTA lines, as well as a new University of Illinois campus; and becoming a hub for industrial markets and manufacturing plants like Sears, Roebuck and Company, Western Electric, and International Harvester.
By the late twentieth century, everything changed.
In the 1960s, during a time of great political unrest and racial divide, many white Chicagoans sold their homes and moved to suburbs. Companies quickly followed suit, either closing their doors for good or moving closer downtown or to suburbs nearby. With less work available, and no means of following jobs to suburban areas, poverty in westside neighborhoods skyrocketed, followed by increased crime and gang violence, and eventually leading to one of the country's greatest racial disparities.
Among the aforementioned consequences, health inequity proves to be one of the most jarring in the twenty-first century: compared with the Loop downtown, the life expectancy of someone living less than six miles away in West Garfield Park drops from eighty-five to sixty-nine.

Nestled between the Near West and East Garfield Park neighborhoods sits Rush University Medical Center, a 644-bed hospital system that, understandably, never seems to settle down, welcoming thousands of employees, students, patients, and staff members through its doors each day.
Walking through the halls of Rush is very much like watching a high-speed video of a bustling intersection: each doctor, visitor, and patient moving perfectly in time with one another as they cross through hallways, over bridges connecting wings, and in and out of exam rooms. It's a massive, lively organization that is uniquely positioned in the center of a historically unrepresented area of Chicago, giving it the onus to give back to its community by not only providing exceptional care but also supporting the area economically.
Jeremy Strong, Rush's vice president of supply chain, has been with the organization for eighteen years, entering it as a student himself and working his way through different areas of hospital operations. In Strong's position, driving the mission of Rush starts inside the hospital, redesigning ordering and product stocking processes to enhance patient care. To support Rush's greater mission, however, Strong and his team have enacted a plan that affects a much wider scope than their department—a plan that solidifies Rush's position as "an anchor in the west side."
High Pace and Hands-On
When Strong moves through each department of Rush's butterfly-shaped corridors, it's clear that everyone knows him. And better yet, he knows everyone, too.
Every employee—regardless of their role—greets him as he walks by. A handshake from an emergency room technician, a wave from a member of the janitorial staff, a pat on the back from the director of supply chain, who works closely with Strong from several floors below to ensure the hospital runs smoothly. Each interaction is genuine—a product of Strong's growth at the company during his tenure and of his inclusive, amiable leadership approach.
Strong joined Rush's team in 2001 as part of its health systems management program—what he likens to an "MBA for healthcare." His early work placed him in interventional areas of the hospital—mainly the OR and perioperative areas—managing data analytics and operations.
"It was pretty high pace," Strong remembers. "It was really hands-on and behind the scenes, so I had a tremendous amount of physician engagement. Now I'm one of the few supply chain leaders that has the numbers of a lot of his surgical chiefs in my cell phone."
In addition to helping with core operational tasks, like helping to design and set up new operating room spaces, Strong also helped largely with Rush's integration of the EPIC OpTime software system and with moving key departments to the organization's newest buildings. While all of these hands-on experiences allowed him to closely learn the ins and outs of the hospital system, Strong says the most important tool they gave him were the close-knit relationships.
"Those relationships and understanding of how clinical workflows work definitely help with supply chain—that knowledge is something that a lot of supply chain leaders miss," Strong says. "They're not used to other functions, but they assume how operations work and what workflows are important to the staff. But, if your advice doesn't match the clinician's workflow, the clinicians won't be willing to comply with it."
"How do we look at things differently and be more open? How do we talk to people differently? If we do, we can only go further."
"Jeremy's background is what sets him apart," says Thad MacKrell, CEO of PAR Excellence Systems Inc. "He was steeped in clinical and business operations—both non-acute and special procedures—before assuming his current role of vice president of supply chain. This gives him an excellent perspective on what clinicians expect and deserve from a high performing supply chain, namely accuracy, professionalism, and a service orientation. As a long-term partner, we routinely bring our innovations in inventory management automation to Jeremy and his team first, to get their perspective and insights on how we can optimize our value in the broader market."
The ability to relate to clinician workflows becomes ever more important within Strong's effort to restructure Rush's supply chain function to work more efficiently, cost-effectively, and with less waste, all while uniting three of Rush's hospitals under a similar mission and strategy. Considering Rush's size, this project is no small feat. But with buy-in from all members of the organization, accomplishing goals becomes a lot easier.
We Can Only Go Further
Strong's mission to help revamp Rush's supply chain started with two seemingly simple questions: how are we leveraging supply chain and what could we do better?
"How do we look at this more systematically and create some structures to put those new strategies in place?" Strong exemplifies. "It's not easy because people are used to their own thinking—we can't just change something and hope they don't notice. You have to build confidence that you've thought about issues and how to better manage them."
The opportunity to bring everyone, from physicians to executive leaders, onto the same page has helped tremendously in streamlining supply chain processes. In total, the ability to establish trust among key players in the organization enables Strong's team to work more efficiently toward its goals.
One of Strong's main objectives was to reduce the amount of backstock inventory that the hospital was accruing as a result of over-ordering.
"From a distribution standpoint, from manufacturer to hospital, a lot of inventory was floating around—it was very messy," Strong says. A lot of the mess, he goes on to explain, was due to ineffective ordering practices: ordering things they didn't need or that they didn't necessarily use out of fear that they might need it. Distributors would come with a truckload of items, solely to be added to the pile of backstock that was already present.

"For surgical procedures they will bring a truckload of stuff, but 90 percent of the time our physicians only use a few key items," Strong explains. "We had to be better indicators of what's needed across all our services and assess how we could cut the rest out. Then, our distribution centers and manufacturers can offset some of those costs. Ultimately, it's cutting costs out of the whole system, so it helps us to help them."
Strong and his team also consider how they can create better supply routes to have fewer extra stops and less extra inventory and use technology to create better forecasts of orders.
Robots, for instance, are used to carry items throughout the hospital, from medical supplies to linens to garbage. Their one-track minds allow items to be delivered accurately and on a set schedule, so physicians always have what they need. Moreover, each product in Rush's inventory—sutures, lotion, bandages, and so on—are loaded on PAR Excellence scales, which automatically reorder items based on their weights to avoid human-error with ordering.
Wendy Xia Stands at the Intersection of Science and Heart
Restructuring ordering practices is only one piece of the puzzle. Strong also looks at the correlation between product price and patient care. He uses the example of implants for surgical procedures.
"If you look at just the price of a product, you're not looking at the patient's recovery or length of stay," Strong says. "We're looking at the total cost of that encounter. So, if a product demonstrates that it actually reduces length of stay or blood loss or complications, and you can look at the big picture cost, it makes sense to opt for an implant that might cost more but discharges a patient a day early.
"We're aiming to be more predictive instead of reactive," he continues. "How do we look at things differently and be more open? How do we talk to people differently? If we do, we can only go further."
Moving in the Right Direction
The ability to consider the bigger picture with every project allows Strong's supply chain team to extend beyond Rush's walls. As part of a group called West Side United, Rush partners with six other hospital systems, in addition to several other companies, to increase social, economic, and environmental vitality within Chicago's West Side.
A growing body of medical evidence shows that the root causes of many chronic diseases are the socioeconomic. Rush's efforts to keep people healthy involves not only doctors and nurses but also executives like Strong who focus Rush's economic leverage—how it hires, purchases, and invests—locally to improve the economic health of the communities it serves.
Rush has hired several hundred employees from Chicago's West Side, redirected millions in spending locally, and has committed $6 million from its general investment funds to loans for small businesses typically excluded from the financial services sector
For Strong, being part of the "Anchor Mission" means thinking about the ways that Rush can make a difference for people who are already living in their community rather than getting new people to move in.
"So, an example of what we've done is that we created a new distribution agreement," Strong notes. "We opened a distribution site about a mile away with a new distribution partner. They have contracted to hire 70 percent of their staff from neighborhoods in the West Side, which creates jobs and gives us a distribution center close to us. It's good for us and the community."
Among other efforts, Rush also restructured its food court contracts to include restaurants from the West Side. The cafeteria-style food hall features three resident restaurants and two rotating vendors: Angel's and La Lagartija Mexican cuisine, The Ogden and Park Tavern bar and grill, Pompei Italian cuisine, and several restaurants from Greektown are among the options available.
Strong says the reaction from the community has been especially rewarding. "People there are passionate about what they do and understand how much of an impact something like this has."
And while Rush's effort has only begun to show its neighborhood, and those around it, their true potential, its commitment alone proves that it's easier to step in the right direction when we all move together.
