The panelTabSet component can be used to display a series of tabs, either with repeating content or unique elements inside each tab. The panelTabSet component is similar to a dataTable, except ice:panelTab is used instead of h:column. In addition to iterative components, panelTabSet supports specific elements inside each tab. The following screen shot is of the ice:panelTabSet component using the CSS XP theme in the Acronym Game login screen.
The panelTabSet does not require any beans specific to the application. For example, static text can be used inside each tab using only page level tools, which removes the complexity of bean setup. In the case of each example in this tutorial, a backing bean will be used to allow greater flexibility in the content and labels of tabs.
The easiest Panel Tabset setup is to use specific components and elements inside of each ice:panelTab. In this next example the page contains an ice:panelTabSet and 3 generic ice:panelTab components inside each tab. Although the text content and labels of each tab could be hardcoded on the page, we will setup 2 backing beans. The first is a basic session bean that generates the default tabs and allows for future extensibility. The second bean is Tab.java, which stores the labels and content for a single tab. The following screenshot shows what the page looks like once the beans are properly setup.
To bind the beans to the page, a simple ice:panelTabSet must first be created.
For now we do not specify any attributes for the Panel Tabset, and so the tag is very bare and simple. The next step is to add each tab inside of the ice:panelTabSet we just created. This will also be the first bean interaction so far.
Download the tabset-basic source code here.
As you may have noticed, the list based setup of TabsetBean.javalends itself to an iterator on the page. The next section will show how to use the built in iterator functionality of panelTabSet.
The similarities to a dataTable are even more prevalent when the panelTabSet iterator functionality is used. As with dataTable, a value and var attribute are set for the ice:panelTabSet tag, as shown below.
The iterative approach to Panel Tabset is used in the Dynamically Adding or Removing Tabs example below.
The appearance of these 2 examples is rather generic and may not suit your application. The next section will demonstrate how to customize the CSS for panelTabSet.
Next the default tab styles should be copied into the override sheet. To find the default styles, look inside the CSS normally linked to, which is ./xmlhttp/css/xp/xp.css. Copy all tab related styles into a new sheet, in our case override.css.
The current implementation of Panel Tabset uses a series of images to create the illusion of a tab. Because of this, the image files in the css-images folder must be copied over. Of course this could be changed to use colors, gradients, or anything the designer wants.
For the above example, changing the iceTabSetTabOn class to the following resulted in a blue highlight for the selected tab.
Other CSS changes were done to help display the possibilities, and since all the relevant classes are accessible the tab style can be completely changed.
Download the tabset-style source code here.
Interaction with the demos has so far been rather static. In the next section the dynamic addition and removal of tabs will be covered.
Now we will look at how the iterative support of panelTabSet allows for dynamically adding and removing tabs. From a code point of view this functionality is merely manipulation of the backing bean list. To use the dynamic add / remove code, an iterative panelTabSet must be used, and a simple add and remove method must be added.
This will create a new tab with the label and content as the next available integer based on the current number of tabs. With the automatic rendering capabilities of ICEfaces, the page would be updated to display a new tab appended to the end of the ice:panelTabSet.
The method ensures that a tab remains to remove, and deletes the last tab in the list. As with addition, the page will automatically update to reflect the fewer tabs.
The screenshot below displays how the dynamic-tabset demo appears initially (before any tabs are added or removed).
This demo uses the same backing bean setup as the basic-tabset demo above. The only difference is the add / remove methods, which can be viewed in the modified TabsetBean.java.
Download the tabset-dynamic source code here.
In summary, the use of a list (either ArrayList or Vector is recommended) and iterative panelTabSet allows for great control over the addition and removal of tabs. In addition to this dynamic functionality, the placement of tabs can also be seemlessly changed, as the next example will demonstrate.
In this next example we are going to dynamically toggle the position of the panelTabSet between the top and bottom. This is achieved by adding a set of radio buttons to the page, which tie into a setPlacement method in the backing bean. The placement is applied as an attribute on the ice:panelTabSet tag, as shown below.
The radio buttons have a top and bottom option available, the code for which follows.
By using partialSubmit="true" in the selectOneRadio tag, the selected option will update the backing bean immediately. This in turn will cause the page to rerender with the tabs displaying at the correct location. The backing bean needs to be changed to have a String placement variable, as well as related getters and setters. These changes can be seen in TabsetBean.java. The following screenshot displays how the tabset-placement demo looks by default.
Note that the only placement options available are top and bottom.

Q: Linear program with unknown constraints(just extreme points) Suppose you are given a set $F$ consisting of $n$ mutually distinct bounded points in $\mathbb{R}^d$. We can define a linear program
\begin{align}\max \ c^Tx \\\text{s.t.}\ \  x \in \text{Hull}(F)\end{align}
where $\text{Hull}$ denotes the convex hull and $c\in\mathbb{R}^d$ is arbitrary.

How can we solve this linear program by leveraging the fact that we already know all of the extreme points of the feasible region?

Ideally we are looking for a solution that does not require defining constraints and then running Simplex or Interior Point Methods and that performs better than exhaustive search in the best case, i.e. given a good initial guess.

A: The fastest method is to go over all points in $F$ and compute the objective values, which takes $\mathcal{O}(nd)$ steps, with $n$ the cardinality of $F$.
Suppose you are told that the optimum is $x^*$ or has an objective value close to $c^Tx^*$, you still need to check every coordinate of every other point, becuase for any other $x$, $c_j x_j$ can be arbitrarily large.

Not your usual rule of thumb
I must have missed the original quote when it surfaced, which is a shame, because this is one of the more intriguing comments I've heard from a Georgia coach in a while:
Offensive line coach Sam Pittman said his philosophy is that if it's a close call between a freshman and a veteran, he'll usually go with the freshman, because they figure experience eventually will make him better.
He's the bizarro Willie Martinez!
There's an appealing logic just to that thinking, but even more so, consider the continued pressure that puts on upperclassmen not to rely on coaching inertia to keep their spot on the two-deep.
I think I like this Pittman guy.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled…
… was convincing the world that a YouTube video of a student-athlete throwing a football on the beach with his girlfriend was an NCAA violation.
The first moment last season when it really, truly dawned on me that Smart had taken the football program in the direction we were all hoping he would came in the wake of the Dawgs' evisceration of Florida. Sure, Georgia had of late won a few more games above the sad rate that had been the case during the run that lasted from Spurrier through Corch, but we hadn't witnessed a seal-clubbing like that in two decades. (This one turned out to have a lot more staying power than the 1997 one did, too.)
That revelation prompted two quick thoughts from me.
One: "If you're a little bummed about Kirby's success rubbing off on McGarity and need something to make you feel better, just consider what this off-season's negotiations with Jimmy Sexton are going to be like."
Two: "On the other hand, McGarity is probably warming the cockles of his heart with the thought of what he's about to do with ticket prices and Hartman Fund contributions."
Now, I'm not gonna pretend either of those observations required any great act of genius on my part, which isn't to say that it's not worth noting how prescient both have turned out to be in as short a time as could be expected. (That being said, it would be amusing to know the exact timing of when those two concepts trickled through Greg McGarity's head for the first time. I suspect I didn't beat him to the punch by much time, if any at all.)
That all came back to me when I saw this post yesterday from Jake Rowe outlining the justification for making Kirby Smart the third-highest paid head coach in the Southeastern Conference. That's no little thing, either.
Nick Saban (Alabama) — $11.125 million
Jimbo Fisher (Texas A&M) — $7.5 million
Gus Malzahn (Auburn) — $7 million (reportedly)
Dan Mullen (Florida) — $6.103 million
Mark Stoops (Kentucky) — $4 million
Jeremy Pruitt (Tennessee) — $3.8 million
Kirby Smart (Georgia) — $3.753 million
Chad Morris (Arkansas) — $3.5 million
Ed Orgeron (LSU) — $3.5 million
Will Muschamp (South Carolina) — $3.3 million
Matt Luke (Ole Miss) — $3 million
Joe Moorhead (Mississippi State) — $2.7 million
Derek Mason (Vanderbilt) — $2.72 million
Barry Odom (Missouri) — $2.35 million
Rowe goes into a lengthy dissertation, laying out a logical basis for the raise, based on the accomplishments of each man. Here's the key passage:
He's also one of just two coaches in the conference to lead their team to the College Football Playoff final. Fisher, while at FSU, and Malzahn led their teams to the National Championship game in 2013, but that didn't require conference championships and first-round playoff wins to get there. Fisher led the Seminoles to the first ever College Football Playoff but they were knocked off in round one against Oregon. Smart and Saban are the only two.
Malzahn has an SEC title and a separate appearance in the game to his credit. While Mullen did a tremendous job at Mississippi State and took the Bulldogs to heights previously unknown within that program, he hasn't yet led his team as far up the mountain as Smart did in just 24 months.
With all due respect to Pruitt and Stoops, I think most would agree that it's a little silly that, as of right now, both are set to make more than Smart in 2018. Stoops, like Mullen at MSU, is consistently doing things at Kentucky that few have but he's 0-2 against Smart coached teams and hasn't really challenged for a division title. Pruitt hasn't yet coached in his first game as a head coach.
At the very least Smart should and, almost certainly will, jump those two. But should he A) stay behind Mullen and Malzahn B) fall between them or C) become the conference's third highest paid coach?
I get what he's attempting there, but it's irrelevant to what McGarity is facing. First of all, to the extent you're making the argument that an existing set of coaching accomplishments on the field sets a future salary, that's actually something that's been addressed, at least in Smart's case, with the bonuses structured in his existing contract.
In any event, it's not the coach's resume that sets the terms. It's the coach's leverage. Jeremy Pruitt isn't getting a bigger regular paycheck than Kirby Smart right now because he sports a better track record. He's getting it because Jimmy Sexton was able to exploit a dumpster fire at Tennessee and squeeze a somewhat desperate Phil Fulmer into cutting a generous deal because he knew the AD needed the head coach more than the head coach needed the AD. (And don't think that same scenario won't be revisited in the near future if Pruitt enjoys any greater level of success in Knoxville than Booch did.)
It's the same dynamic in play in Athens. McGarity may be happy Richt is gone, but I bet he's a little nostalgic over how little pressure Richt usually gave him on the contract front. Not now. Jimmy Sexton — hey, what a coincidence! — may politely mention 13 wins, an SEC championship, a berth in the CFP, etc., but what he won't have to say is "you don't want to think about me exploring Kirby's options elsewhere" because he already knows that's in the head of every soul in Butts-Mehre. That's what's going to drive the number that will be inserted into the contract extension.
Kirby's the one holding the cards. That's why it really doesn't matter what Gus is getting paid. McGarity will agree to something that's not based on what Dan Mullen's done, but on what he fears some other heavyweight program might believe Kirby is worth.

I sense a crisis is in the making.
On the surface, the good times continue to roll for the SEC.
After total SEC revenue soared past the half-billion dollar mark for the first time in 2015-16 to $565.9 million, the conference announced Thursday that it is splitting $573.8 million among its 14 member schools.
That comes out to a few dollars under $41 million per school ($40.986 million), up slightly from $40.4 million per school the year before. The revenue distribution does not count a total of $23.1 million retained by SEC schools that played in bowl games after the 2016 season.
Up! Up is good!
Dig a little deeper, though, and you'll see the key word in that quote isn't directional. It's "slightly".
SEC revenue distribution took an enormous leap upward after the debut of the SEC Network in August 2014. The 2015 calendar year was the first full year for the network, taking each school's SEC revenue from $20.9 million for the 2013-14 to $32.7 million per school for 2014-15 and $40.4 million last year.
When you're used to seeing multi-million dollar bumps in revenue year-over-year, a few hundred thousand ain't gonna feel the same. Not even close. No, sir, not when you've got ever-enlarging coaching contract terms (with their attendant buyouts, heh), facilities arms races and the general ego trip with the Big Ten over which conference's financial Johnson's bigger to handle.
Rabalais writes, "Such huge gains probably could not be expected again this year. Still, SEC revenue distribution has increased every year since 1980", which sounds like a sound bite tailored perfectly for Greg Sankey's use, but I have a hard time believing it's going to mollify school presidents over the long haul. Which means… well, if you've followed SEC football long enough, you probably know exactly what it means.

A disturbing trend line
This doesn't strike me as good news for the sport's future.
Just days before the Super Bowl, 48 percent of Americans say they'd encourage a child who wanted to play football to play a different sport due to concerns about concussions — up 8 points since the same question was asked four years ago, according to the latest national NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll.
That includes 46 percent of parents with a child in the household (up 9 points since 2014), 53 percent of mothers (up 13 points) and 39 percent of fathers (up 6 points).
If you want a picture painted, here you go.
That's not a subtle change over a four-year period. And there really isn't anything going on in the present to re-direct the direction of that trend.
Schools and the NCAA are currently reacting — if you want to be generous with a description — to litigation threats, but longer term, what happens to the sport if the talent pool begins drying up because more and more parents refuse to let their kids play? Do you think anyone on the collegiate level has even begun seriously considering the possibility?

"I was a knot on the log there."
The more I read about Phil Fulmer's level of involvement in the UT football program, the weirder it seems.
Fulmer took the unusual-for-an-athletic-director step of getting NCAA-certified to recruit on the road during Pruitt's two-jobs-in-two-cities period, and he even went on the road with Pruitt a couple of times. And he claimed to love every bit of what he saw.
"I was a knot on the log there," Fulmer said. "He was the focal point. He handled the room. When he sat in the home, he was great with the mom and dad and the kid."
So Pruitt in essence was selling himself on the recruiting trail to Mama and his boss. I'm sure that wasn't the slightest bit awkward. Nor was this:
Fulmer knew about Pruitt's reputation as an elite recruiter. He got excited when watching Pruitt get up "on the edge of his chair" with a "nervous twitch in his leg" when the two talked recruiting during the interview process.
Jeez, guys. Get a room, would 'ya?
ESPN sez good times are coming.
ESPN looks at the numbers and sees a lot of things coming up roses for Georgia in 2018.
"Georgia is projected to return as many as eight players who were primarily starters from an offense that ranked fifth nationally in overall efficiency."
"…Georgia will enter signing day with ESPN's No. 1 class for 2018, a spot that Alabama has claimed five times in the past six years (Florida State signed the No. 1 class in 2016).The Bulldogs have signed 15 players in the ESPN 300, including seven from the top 50 prospects — the most by any school."
"The Bulldogs will play one road game in 2018 against a team that finished in the final AP poll (Oct. 13 at LSU), and their non-conference schedule consists of an FCS team (Austin Peay), two Group of 5 teams (Middle Tennessee and Massachusetts) and Georgia Tech. Even better? All four games will be played at Sanford Stadium."
It looks like it's okay to be a little excited.

LED security lights can make your home safer at night with their ability to light up the darkest spots outside your house. LED lights provide clear visibility and allow you to see anything lurking in the darkness. Some LED security lights are made to work specifically with security surveillance to provide improved visibility allowing you to get a clear and well-defined image or video of possible perpetrators.
Which Security Lights should you choose to Protect Your Home?
Motion Sensor lights: To buy LED security lights for protecting your 3 bedroom flats in Kolkata, you may select motion sensor lights where the movement of an individual around your property will turn the lights on. They only operate when they are triggered by a person walking through their field of motion. The lights coming on from them may be enough to remind the individuals inside that the motion sensors have been triggered.
LED Floodlights: You could choose to use LED floodlights which will cover the entire area between your property and the yard with so much lighting that no one could pass through without being seen or captured on your security cameras. However, if you choose to leave them on throughout the evening and night, you may not notice an individual passing through the lights unless you happen to be looking at that area.
Solar Powered LED lights: You may also choose LED security lights that work on solar power. They will have been storing the energy from the sun during the day and have enough power to work throughout the sundown to sunrise period.
Thus, LED lights improve personal and operational safety and they enhance security by improving video quality. With battery backup options, these lights have a better compliance with lighting control, even in a power outage. The light from a LED is angled in such a way so that it is directed downwards. The installation of LED security lights will provide you with an outstanding cover around your 2bhk flats in Kolkata and help to keep burglars away from there.

Saint Dominic Savio
I am writing to you with immense joy and heartfelt gratitude to announce the launch of our parish capital campaign in conjunction with the Archdiocese's Called to Renew effort. This campaign will provide much-needed funding for parishes throughout our Archdiocese, including St. Dominic Savio.
Each parish has been given a goal for the campaign. Our parish's goal is $1,130,000. Fifty percent of all funds raised up to our goal will stay with our parish, and 100 percent of the funds collected over the goal will remain with our parish. If we meet our goal, we will receive $565,000 to address our own needs.
St. Dominic Savio has a rich history of service in Bellflower. Called to Renew will allow us to continue to be a vital presence in our community. You will find more details about how we plan to use our funds on the following page.
As your pastor, I invite you to take a moment in prayer to discern how you can best support this
campaign. I also encourage you to consider making a pledge for a five-year period. This will allow us the best opportunity to reach our goal. This is a wonderful parish and faith community, and I assure you that I am very fortunate to be your pastor. I know you will do whatever you can to make this campaign a success.
We entrust this campaign to the intercessions of our Blessed Mother and our patron, St. Dominic Savio.
Thank you in advance for your faithful support.
Fr. Chinh Nguyen, S.D.B., Pastor
The parking lot is the first impression people have of our campus. It leaves a lot to be desired. We will fill in the potholes and cracks and then completely resurface the parking lot, creating a more welcoming and safer environment.

Our current sound system is outdated, and parishioners often cannot hear services in certain parts of the church or experience an echo. A new sound system will ensure all parishioners are able to hear clearly in the church.
At certain times of year, the temperature in the church can be uncomfortable. When our church was built, indoor cooling and heating was uncommon. We will install a new HVAC system to help moderate the temperature in the church efficiently and improve the comfort of our worship experience.
Parish Hall Restroom
Our church currently has no restrooms for parishioners to use during services or events. Trips to the restroom require a walk outside, sometimes in inclement weather, to the school restrooms, which are designed for children. We will build new women's and men's restrooms in the parish hall that are accessible to all.

Reaction to Smith on Gay Marriage: WTF???
Bloggers, pundits and just ordinary folks are still scratching their heads trying to make some sense out of remarks Gordon Smith made last week during
by H. Bruce Miller
Bloggers, pundits and just ordinary folks are still scratching their heads trying to make some sense out of remarks Gordon Smith made last week during a panel discussion in Washington on partnership rights.
In the discussion, which you can see on video here, a questioner identifying himself as an Oregonian asked Smith whether he supports "the recent domestic partnership bill that has passed" in this state and "how do you reconcile your position on partnership benefits with your support of the [anti-gay marriage] federal marriage amendment and the federal Marriage Protection Act?"
Smith's response is such a classic that it deserves to be presented in its entirety; The Eye would no more think of abridging it than we would presume to boil Moby-Dick down to a paragraph:
"Yeah, I'm fine with what the legislature did. I think that it is a good accommodation of very legitimate demands by gays and lesbians. Um, I don't want to bring this up but I guess I'll have to. Um, I voted for the marriage amendment because I didn't want federal judges to impose it on other states who are voting differently. If states want to democratically go about it, that's what they should do, but I did not want a federal judge imposing it on other parts of the jurisdiction."
Then, after a long pause, Smith veered over the cliff into real weirdness:
"My campaign people will kill me for saying this, but (another pause) I am a devout Mormon. I have been married to Sharon for 33 years. She's the only woman I have ever been married to - I want to make that very clear. (Laughter.) Part of what I fear is you start defining marriage - we have a long history of doing that in this country, and my Mormon pioneer ancestors were the victims of that. They were literally driven from the United States in the dead of winter, following their religious beliefs. I don't want that coming back.
"When you - not that my church would, but there are some on the front pages of your newspaper that are trying to now. When you start tinkering with the definition of one man, one woman, with the definition of marriage - it's really defined by religion, but accommodated by the state. The implications are much broader than just the gay and lesbian community. So what I'm telling you from the bottom of my heart is I'm trying to do all I can without creating a much bigger problem. And I hope you understand."
No, Senator, we do not understand. We don't even come close. Were you giving a sort of half-assed endorsement to polygamy on the grounds of religious freedom? Were you equating gay marriage with polygamy?
Today Smith issued a "clarification" that didn't really clarify much. "My remarks referenced a point in time when a few of my ancestors were persecuted for not adhering to [the] belief" that marriage is between one man and one woman, he told The Oregonian. "It was an unfortunate reference, and I apologize for making it. ... If you'd grown up a Mormon, and spent your life trying to get out from the shadow of that legacy - it's an emotional scar that you carry. I meant no offense by sharing that part of my history."
Frankly, The Eye doesn't see why everybody is making a big deal out of Smith's remarks. He was just trying to do what politicians have been doing since the Old Stone Age - answer a question about a touchy topic without actually saying anything.

NEW ORLEANS (AP) In New Orleans, the apocalyptic clock is ticking — again.
Ravaged last year by one hurricane and slapped by the fringes of another, the city faces a 2006 storm season that begins in less than five months — not much time to repair the tattered ramparts that keep New Orleans from being swallowed by the sea.
This year's hurricane season begins June 1. By that date, the U.S. Corps of Engineers expects to have the Crescent City's levees restored to pre-Katrina condition.
The job is massive. It will take approximately 4 million cu. yds. (3 million cu m) of fill — a nearly Superdome-sized pile — to repair the 170 mi. (274 km) of levee destroyed or damaged by Katrina.
"So far we're on schedule and we're doing pretty good," said Col. Lewis Setliff, the leader of the repair effort.
There are many who fear that may not be good enough.
Setliff said he understands such concerns. But as commander of Task Force Guardian, his mission is to repair the levees in time for the next hurricane season, and that is what he vows to do. New Orleans will simply have to live through 2006 with roughly the same protection it has had for the past 30 — even though that wasn't enough to fend off Katrina.
"Everybody wants a lot of the long-term solutions overnight," Setliff said, but there is neither time nor funding to make major improvements to the barriers by June.
The $1.6-billion repair effort will use some improved construction methods and materials compared to what was in place before, decreasing the chances that levees breached by Katrina will fail again. It also will bring levees that had gradually settled over the years back up to their original height.
But it will not raise the height of any levees or replace any sections that survived Katrina intact.
For example, in every situation where it can, the Corps of Engineers is replacing the I-walls that top many levees with more stable T-walls. An I-wall is a vertical concrete barrier anchored to the levee by steel sheet pile driven vertically into the ground.
A T-wall sits on a horizontal concrete base that protects the soil at the wall's base from crashing waves on the wet side and, in a worst-case scenario, from water pouring over the levee onto the dry side. During Hurricane Katrina soil erosion underneath floodwalls — known to engineers as scour — contributed significantly to a number of breaches by simply washing away the ground the concrete barriers sat on.
To make them even stronger, T-walls also are anchored by multiple steel beams, rather than a single sheet. Those beams are driven into the levee diagonally, providing more support.
Most challenging to repair are the breaches along the drainage canals that carry rainwater from the heart of New Orleans north to Lake Pontchartrain. Because so much of New Orleans is below sea level, pump stations have to lift water from the city's storm sewers into the canals, which then flow by gravity to Lake Pontchartrain.
During a hurricane, the lake's surging waters reverse the flow in the canals, pushing water deep into the city. Floodwall-topped levees along the canals rise as high as 14.5 ft. (4.5 m) above sea level, which should have been enough to contain Hurricane Katrina. But at three points on the London Avenue and 17th Street drainage canals, the floodwaters weakened the structures to the point that they gave way.
An emergency repair effort plugged the three breaches with massive sandbags weighing as much as 15,000 lbs. (6,800 kg) each. But now the Corps is faced with the tricky task of removing the sandbags and replacing them with a new levee and floodwall — without inundating the city.
What they do is build temporary walls on both the canal and land sides of each breach. This completely surrounds the work area and keep soil from collapsing into the hole that will be created during the next step, when the emergency sandbag levee is removed.
Finally, a new levee and floodwall is built across the breach. After the new T-wall has been completed, the temporary walls, known as coffer dams, will be removed.
"This job will go right up to June," construction inspector Duke Ducarpe said of the repair at the 17th Street Canal breach. He said the two breaches on the London Avenue Canal might be repaired a few weeks earlier than that.
Because the canals were so vulnerable after Hurricane Katrina, the Corps of Engineers is considering additional measures to protect them. If a hurricane does approach New Orleans next year, the plan is to erect temporary gates or barriers at the mouths of the canals that would protect them from storm surges coming off Lake Pontchartrain.
But that would impede the flow of water out of New Orleans, which could be a problem if a hurricane dumped a lot of rain on the city.
"If you got a very serious rainfall, then you wouldn't be able to operate the pumps because the canals are blocked," van Heerden said.
He complained that in other areas, the Corps simply isn't doing enough. In many places, Katrina's storm surge overtopped an earthen levee and then began wearing it down, allowing an ever increasing amount of water to surge through the breach.
Along the Inner Harbor Navigation Canal, the torrent grew so powerful that it swept away much of the Lower Ninth Ward neighborhood, washing entire houses off their foundations and sending cars tumbling like pebbles in a raging river. The Corps plans to replace the I-wall along the canal with a T-wall.
Such measures may be enough to protect the Lower Ninth Ward during another Katrina. But there will be no improvement of levee segments that did not fail during last summer's storm. That leaves some of those segments as the most vulnerable points next time a hurricane hits, unless additional, costly efforts are made to beef up the entire levee system.
The Interagency Performance Evaluation Task Force, one of several teams of engineers reviewing the performance of the flood control system during Hurricane Katrina, intends to determine just how much protection New Orleans will have once its levees are repaired. The question is a difficult one, said Ed Link, the University of Maryland professor who heads the team, and it won't be answered until June 1.
Donald Powell, named by President Bush as the federal coordinator for the Gulf Coast rebuilding effort, has proposed spending an additional $1.5 billion to provide more protection.
• The completion of levee projects to the south and east of New Orleans that had been authorized before Katrina but were not scheduled to be finished until 2018.
• Armoring levees with pavement or rock to prevent waves from eating away at them.
• Closing the drainage canals and installing pumps on Lake Pontchartrain to remove rainwater from the city.
So far Congress has approved the first item on that list. But it balked at armoring the levees and installing new pumps, objecting that those measures had not been adequately examined.
Even if Congress does approve the Bush plan when it reconvenes in February, will it be enough to coax displaced residents and businesses back to New Orleans?
Civil engineer van Heerden doesn't think so. He thinks Washington should spring for a major flood control system that raises the levees around New Orleans and other communities in south Louisiana high enough to survive a direct hit by a Category 5 hurricane — the top of the scale. Katrina had weakened to Category 3 or less by the time it passed through the city.
Van Heerden also recommends building structures that knock down incoming storm surges in the Gulf of Mexico, before they pass into the bays and harbors on New Orleans' flanks. Finally, van Heerden advocates a massive effort to rejuvenate the marshes that once buffered the city from the Gulf's open waters. Those wetlands have gradually succumbed to channelization, pollution and sediment starvation over the years, mostly because of efforts to improve shipping and prevent floods on the Mississippi River.
Such an effort could easily cost more than $30 billion.
"We've really got to look at doing more," van Heerden said.
Democratic Congressman William Jefferson, who represents New Orleans, considers the Bush administration's proposal a "down payment" on a full-fledged system that would protect New Orleans from a Category 5 hurricane.

The power of garlic sausage and the limits of social reproduction theory
By voyou, September 22, 2018
In 1852, Marx wrote that Napoleon III had managed to become Emperor of France because he knew the power of "cigars and champagne, cold poultry and garlic sausage." Many attempts have been made to interpret the significance of these sausages (including Andrew Parker's suggestion that they are a phallic symbol), but few have drawn attention to the fact that Marx specifies garlic sausage — that is, particularly tasty sausages that are especially well suited to whet the appetite. Marx's interest in garlic sausage has not been taken up by the Marxist tradition, where categories of necessity or utility are more likely to be studied than categories of appetite. I think this is a mistake, and that paying attention to appetite — to the insatiability of our sensory desires — is an important materialist principle. Thinking about appetite can help us understand the social relations that are formed in the everyday practices through which we live and desire.
Appetite is a way of thinking about aspects of our material lives that don't often appear in the economic approaches that dominate Marxism. In this, my interest in appetite has something in common with a recent revival of interest in a particular strand of Marxism called the social reproduction approach. The social reproduction approach rejects a focus on the economy narrowly understood as the sphere of the production of goods and instead attempts to understand the whole collection of social processes that allow capitalist society to continue to exist. As a methodology, it hopes to understand aspects of capitalist society that have been marginal in Marxism. It arose in response to (largely Anglo-American) feminist concerns, but has more recently been applied to questions of race and sexuality. These more expansive uses of the social reproduction approach have begun to strain against its limits, notably its continuing tendency to focus on the reproduction of capitalist social relations specifically. Thinking through appetite can help us widen our theory to encompass all those practices through which we do or might reproduce the communities we desire.
While discussions of social reproduction have a long tradition within Marxism, social reproduction as a specific mode of analysis arose in response to Marxist-feminist debates in the 70s and early 80s. One of the pressing problems for the women's liberation movement coming out of the 60s was the need to assert the importance of a specifically feminist analysis within a radical milieu dominated by socialist and specifically Marxist approaches uninterested in questions of gender. While the struggle to make feminist issues legible in this milieu sometimes involved an explicit rejection of Marxist categories, Marxist feminists worked to reinterpret or modify them as necessary to enable the analysis of women's oppression.
This led to the "domestic labour debate," in which the distinctively gendered division of labour under capitalism was taken to be the division between the production of commodities by paradigmatically male workers in factories and the reproduction of labour power by women in the home. In Marxism and the Oppression of Women, Lise Vogel argued that production and reproduction could both be understood in terms of the more fundamental category of social reproduction, or the totality of ways in which capitalist society reproduces itself. Vogel called this the social reproduction approach, which focuses on reproduction in one very specific sense: the reproduction of labour power in capitalist social relations, that is, the maintenance of the wage worker's ability to work and the production of new wage labourers to replace those who are no longer able to work. While social reproduction could include the reproduction of all social relationships, the social reproduction approach has historically emphasized the particular reproduction which is functional for capital.
It is useful, in evaluating the social reproduction approach, to compare it with another, developed at a similar time in Europe: the Wages for Housework movement. The particular perspective of Wages for Housework led them to draw a different set of theoretical and political consequences from their analysis of women's labour. Returning to this analysis can help us see some ways in which the social reproduction approach takes too narrow a view of what goes into the reproduction of social relations.
As the name of the Wages for Housework movement suggests, domestic work was central to the movement's analysis, but the name also makes clear something else that was central to the movement: it was organized around a demand. The Wages for Housework movement did not view this demand as a narrow policy proposal, but as a way of expressing the better way of life they desired, as well as showing how society as it is currently organized stifles those desires. The writings of authors associated with Wages for Housework took up the question of domestic labour because they believed it had a central place in political strategy. Wages for Housework analyzed domestic labour to understand what Selma James calls the "women's levers of social power" in the community under capitalist control (or, as Italian Marxist analysis of the time put it, the "social factory"). The identification of the whole community as the site of struggle also illustrates the expansive interpretation of domestic labour employed by Wages for Housework. James and Mariarosa Dalla Costa's "Women and the Subversion of the Community" begins with the attempt to describe "precisely what is peculiar to domestic work," by which they do not just mean the nature of the work itself but "the quality of life and quality of relationships which it generates."
This focus on the quality of life produced by capitalist social relations is particularly striking in the article's discussions of romantic and sexual relationships. In Marxist discussions of social reproduction, sex tends to remain pretty much implicit. This is not the case for James and Dalla Costa, who explicitly criticize the damage capitalism does to sexuality, particularly women's sexuality. They discuss this on a physical, biological level, describing how women "are robbed of their sexual life which has been transformed into a function for reproducing labour power." They also criticise the way in which the gendered division of labour and its resulting hierarchy make genuine relationships impossible, because "a power relation precludes any possibility of affection and intimacy." They criticise the narrow heterosexuality that capitalism makes compulsory because they want a more genuine sexual satisfaction: "capital, while it elevates heterosexuality to a religion, at the same time in practice makes it impossible for men and women to be in touch with each other, physically and emotionally — it undermines heterosexuality except as a sexual, economic, and social discipline." They praise the gay liberation movement as "the most massive attempt to disengage sexuality and power." Finally, James and Dalla Costa present sexual desire as a political demand against capitalism:
Women demand in workers' assemblies that the night shift be abolished because at night, besides sleeping, one wants to make love — and it is not the same as making love during the day if the women work during the day…. To make love and to refuse night work to make love, is in the interests of the class.
As Kathi Weeks points out in her analysis of Wages for Housework in The Problem with Work, making demands was central to the political practice of the movement. Weeks cites a slogan from a Wages for Housework pamphlet where the boldness with which they made demands is striking: "We want it in cash, retroactively and immediately, and we want all of it." This is a political practice organized around what we want, around the insatiability of appetites. As Weeks points out, by focusing on what we want, the demands of Wages for Housework orient politics towards the future and construct a community around the desire for that future. This is how appetite can expand the field of social reproduction. Thinking about our appetites draws attention to the possibility of constructing the social relations we want, not just the particular social relations that are functional for capital.
We can get a glimpse of these social relations of appetite in Samuel R Delaney's description of his first experience of the open public sex at the St Mark's Baths:
What this experience said was that there was a population – not of individual homosexuals, some of whom now and then encountered, or that those encounters could be human and fulfilling in their way – not of hundred, not of thousands, but rather of millions of gay men, and that history had, actively and already, created for us whole galleries of institutions , good and bad, to accommodate our sex (The Motion of Light in Water).
This is utopian in its expansiveness, but also in its suggestion that these spaces for collective desire had been created by "history." Of course Delany is well aware that these spaces were not created by some impersonal force of history, but were the result of the practices of the men who had built them in the past and the men who continued to sustain them at that moment. This history is not just a history of how gay men have reproduced labour power, or of how they have failed to reproduce it, and so it presents us with a history that the social reproduction approach is not well equipped to theorize. The social reproduction approach does have a theory of homosexuality, or, it might be better to say, a theory of homophobia. If, as the social reproduction approach posits, the reproduction of labour power in the heterosexual family is essential to the current way in which the reproduction of capitalist society is organized, capital will organise social lives around a norm of compulsory heterosexuality (this also provides a sketch of a theory of homonormativity, as if there are certain narrow forms of homosexual activity which can contribute the reproduction of labour power, capital may enable these forms). However, this is a purely negative theory, in that is considers homosexuality only insofar as it is not heterosexuality and so not functional for capital.
The social reproduction approach can help us understand how the reproduction of queer communities might come into conflict with the demands of capitalism, but it cannot explain the positive desires that fuel the construction of these communities, or the shared appetites that hold them together.The ongoing struggle to construct and maintain queer social spaces is just one example of a reproduction of social relations that cannot be explained solely in terms of the reproduction of capitalism. Understanding this struggle requires a more expansive way of thinking about the material than the economic approach focused on labour power that remains at the heart of the Marxist social reproduction approach. The basic point is that our material practices produce our social relations. We can't assume that these practices will be useful for or in conflict with capitalism, although we can be sure that in a capitalist society they will come into contact with capitalist social relations sooner or later. If we want to be able to see resistance we need to start by looking at the productivity of material practices, not the limitations placed on them by capitalism.
An important recent example of the wide range of social relations that can be drawn into contact with, and struggle against, capitalism, is the role of queer communities in anti-gentrification struggles. Gentrification is clearly an economic question, in that it achieves its exclusion through the rise in property prices that results from capitalist speculation. And gentrification excludes people from a basic human need, namely housing. Yet gentrification is not just about the clash between finance and simple material need, but also involves an attack on the more complex processes that go into building the social relations that sustain community. This has been made especially clear by queer anti-gentrification campaigns. Like any anti-gentrification campaign the questions of housing and homelessness are crucial (indeed, these issues are especially urgent for LGBT people, who are disproportionately likely to be homeless), but queer anti-gentrification campaigns are also often organized around spaces of sociality and pleasure. One recent example is the campaign around the Joiners Arms, a gay pub in a traditionally working-class area of London that has recently closed (although activists have so far managed to prevent the building from being knocked down). Campaigners hail the pub's role in fostering the gay community in the area, and this discussion of community is bound up with reminiscences of the pleasures of socializing at the pub and the sexual pleasures that followed. Memories of wild nights — and telling stories of even wilder ones — have helped maintain the particular social relations the pub supported. The work of maintaining these relations is particularly important in the face of London's property boom and attendant forces of gentrification, which tend to treat alternative social relations as a threat to property values.
Indeed, any autonomous production of sociality is seen as a threat to capitalism, which was one of the reasons for the intensity of the crackdown on Occupy encampments. When encampments were set up on university campuses, this threat was often expressed by administrators using the (racialized) figure of the "non-affiliate" who dared to construct social relations with students without being a student themselves. The construction of sociality is always a material and affective process. At the Occupy encampments (as at the camps at anti-globalization summit protests before them) one of the ways this could be seen most clearly was in the preparation of food. Food is of course a material necessity if a group of people is going to occupy a space for any length of time, but for those preparing food it becomes more than that, as I have found in my own experiences pitching in with the cooking at various protest camps. The practical process of cooking on a large scale produced its own social bonds as we discussed how many onions we needed to chop or whether a chickpea curry should have garam masala in it. This was all overlaid with a different bond between those of us preparing food and those eating it, in our desire to produce good food that didn't just quiet our biological need for nutrition, but also pleased our human tastes. Food, then, becomes a way in which affects circulate through the social bonds constructed in the course of ongoing protests, and the appetite for food becomes a vehicle for another appetite stoked by political practice: the appetite for collectivity itself. This is another appetite that Marx was aware of:
When communist workmen gather together, their immediate aim is instruction, propaganda, etc. But at the same time they acquire a new need – the need for society – and what appears as a means has become an end…. Smoking, eating and drinking, etc., are no longer means of creating links between people. Company, association, conversation, which in turn has society as its goal, is enough for them.
(The image in this post is Battle of The Sausages I by Sergey Tyukanov)
"I shall prefer to believe with the cheerful Fourier in all these stories rather than in the realm of the absolute spirit, where there is no lemonade at all"
The utopia, doctrinaire socialism, subordinates the total movement to one of its elements, substitutes for common social reproduction the brainwork of individual pedants and, above all, in its fantasy dispenses with the revolutionary struggle of classes by means of small conjuring tricks or great sentimentality; fundamentally it only idealizes the existing society, takes a picture […]
Commodity fetishism and object liberation
On of the criticisms of object-oriented ontology which has some currency is the suggestion that it is a form of, or a philosophized alibi for, commodity fetishism. And this has a superficial plausibility; doesn't the focus on objects enact the kind of reification that Marx criticizes. I don't think this plausibility is more than superficial, […]
For a socialist gentrification
I realized the area I'd moved into was further along in gentrification than my old neighborhood when I went out to get some food and quickly came across a smart-looking cafe with only two items on its menu: soup and grilled cheese. This is probably a good thing; personally (the soup/grilled cheese combo was quite […]

� Of Course: "Beetlejuice 2" | Main | Saturday Morning Open Thread �
Overnight Open Thread -- Valentine's Day 2014
Well, 'Rons n' 'Ettes, it's your friendly neighborhood Damn Dirty RINO again. I'm filling in for CDR M tonight since he came up with some cockamamie excuse about "defending the nation" or something. I don't know. But, inasmuch as he has friends who could "accidentally" drop an explosive payload on me from thousands of feet in the air at any time, I figured I ought to go ahead and do tonight's ONT. I may be lazy, but I'm not stupid.
Like everyone else, Valentine's Day is my favorite holiday of the year. It's the one holiday that seems immune to corporate exploitation, steeped as it is in Judeo-Christian tradition. And, as anyone who knows me will readily tell you, I'm all about that old-time religion. Sadly, contemporary culture seems bent on rejecting the ancient teachings of the Bible that have helped to sustain mankind for thousands of years -- particularly the verse in Peruvians 8:42, which tells us, "Honor thine life partner with baubles and sweets and flowers and cards and lavish meals and sparkling wine. Bedeck her in splendorous, yet scant garments that she may wear but once and cast aside never to be seen again. For, should thou forsake such worshipful genuflection, thine ears shall ring with vituperative hectoring forevermore."
It's through such generous gift-giving and ritual pleading for physical reciprocation that we come to know true love. Unfortunately, many of us never become truly acquainted with the incomparable joy that comes from love in its most transactional form. Instead, we waste years and years fooling ourselves into thinking that true love can be achieved through mutual admiration, respect and personal sacrifice. And then one day, we suddenly wake up and discover that we've wasted immense effort and emotion on an illusion only to find ourselves navigating a cold, cruel world alone.
Now, obviously, there are some personal relationships that just don't develop into anything more than friendship in spite of our best efforts. Sometimes, you can do everything right, and with the very best of heartfelt intentions, but still find yourself in what has come to be known as the Friend Zone. It can be painful and humiliating, and may even cause you to question the wisdom of following the path that leads to true love.
Yes, it's unfortunate and hurtful. But, you can't allow yourself to grow discouraged. If you can't make the object of your desires fall in love with you despite your most exorbitant investment, then it simply wasn't meant to be. The right person is out there for you; you just have to maintain faith that your paths will cross at some point down life's twisting, treacherous roads. The fact is, we all have a soul mate. But, for some of us, finding him or her requires more patience and perseverance -- and perhaps a lowering of standards and expectations.
And, if you are sufficiently persistent and generous to the person whose affections you're seeking, but that person still can't be cajoled into reciprocation, it may very well be that you need to engage in some serious introspection. It could simply be that you're not assertive enough. It's amazing how many people go through life laboring under the misapprehension that mere kindness and tenderness toward the people they love will somehow bring them around. As noted singer-songwriter Patty Smyth pointed out back in the 1980's, "Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough," and you have to instill fear into their hearts. After all, if someone doesn't respect you, how can they ever come to love you?
One of the saddest aspects of living in the modern world is that we have allowed ourselves to become convinced that simple love has the power to "conquer all" and "move mountains". And it's because of that silly notion that people become dejected and give up hope for finding that one person with whom they can share a full and happy life. But, as someone who has fallen prey to such fantastical ideas, let me assure you that this is not the case. There are innumerable challenges and obstacles against which romantic love is of absolutely no use.
No, the only way to ensure a long-lasting and fulfilling adult relationship is to express your deepest feelings for the person with whom you wish to share your life by appealing to their base appetites.
But, there's a caveat. You see, if you make only explicit overtures toward a person's base drives, they begin to feel objectified. They don't feel loved for who they are as a person, but merely desired as an object of sexual conquest. This has a way of leaving people feeling somewhat dehumanized. So, when making such gestures in the hopes of building a lasting relationship based on deeply felt emotional ties, you have to make sure to adorn it with the soft, superficial treacle of hearts and kittens.
On the other hand, if all you seek is pure carnal indulgence, a wink, a smile, and a generous display of flesh will do the trick nearly every time. And if that's what you're looking for on this most sacred of holidays, well, I suppose you could do a lot worse.
Tonight's ONT brought to you by Soft n' Snuggly Sweater Puppies:
ADDENDUM: rdbrewer sent this over the transom shortly after I finished, so I figured I'd toss it in for those of you who may find it as interesting as I did. It's the Presidential Personality Quiz. My results said my personality most favored that of Lincoln.
And, as long as I'm adding stuff, I may as well add this in, too. I really wanted to use it earlier, but I couldn't figure out a way to incorporate it into the overall theme. But, rd gave me a good excuse to tack it on at the end, so I'm going to. It's a video of a little girl's first experience with being in the rain. It strikes me that one of the tragedies of the human condition is that it beats the sense of wonderment out of us over time.

"I have fans all over the world, but my home crowd, that's my heart." — Sheri "Sparkle" Williams
Sheri Sparkle Williams says she got very lucky 46 years ago.
She danced her way into Jeraldyne Blunden's sight.
"I was lucky enough to stumble into her hands and she never led not one of us astray," Williams said of the late founder of the Dayton Contemporary Dance Company. "She led by example. She was humble and graceful and warm. She knew her craft and she put us in the hands of those who could direct us in the right direction."
A week ago, in what has been described as a historic moment, Williams took her last spins and leaps as part of DCDC, the dance company she helped put on the map.
>> Sheri "Sparkle" Williams' famous nickname started out as an inside joke
Williams performed her final solo and ensemble performances as a member of the dance company formed in 1968 at the Victoria Theatre on Sunday, Dec. 8.
She said there is nothing like performing for a local audience.
"I have fans all over the world, but my home crowd, that's my heart," Williams said.
If not for a hip injury she's been nursing for eight years, the artist praised for her kindness, artistry, athleticism and longevity says she wouldn't be hanging up her dancing shoes.
"I love it and I love dancing where I am," Williams said. "My work environment is amazing."

Ro Nita Hawes-Saunders, DCDC's CEO, said Williams is an important face of the dance company.
"She has not only been the sparkle behind the scene, but the sparkle on the stage as well," Saunders said. "She provides a level of professionalism and expertise that is not matched in the dance world today."

Williams was saluted by fellow dancers who surrounded her, bowed on the ground and drummed their hands on the stage, said Dayton Daily News Ideas & Voices Editor Ron Rollins, who was in the audience for the performance of "In the Spirit of … Abundant Blessings."
Williams said she never imaged she'd be with DCDC 46 seasons.
"Typically people might be in the field 10 years and that's a good run," she said. "I wanted six kids and the whole family thing, and it never came to be."

Williams said she lost her parents, Johnnie and Margie Williams, and sisters Regina and Tara Williams, throughout the years, but has always had her love of dance and the company.
She took her first dance class at age 9.
Williams' future role with DCDC has not been completely formulated, but she plans to remain connected with the company.
Aside from being a principal dancer, she has been the company's fitness trainer.
She currently attends Sinclair Community College with the intent to transfer to University of Dayton to become a physical therapist.
>>Powerful Dayton Dames everyone should know
Earlier this year, Williams, an original member of the New York-based Complexions Contemporary Ballet, was named one of the YWCA's Women of Influence recipients and was awarded the Inspirational Artist Award by the International Association of Blacks in Dance.

She has also received the JOSIE Award, Fisk University's Excellence in Artistry Award, Lifetime Achievement Award from the Montgomery County Arts and Cultural District, New York Dance and Performance Award (the Bessie) and Ohio Governor's Award for the Arts in the category of Individual Artist, her biography on DCDC's website says.
DCDC is known for its athleticism and Williams says that can be grueling on the body.
She urges younger dancers in company like DCDC to find their ways into the "hands of those who can guide them."
"(They should) study and train hard and be mindful and take excellent care of their instrument, their bodies," Williams said. "Beyond all the training, find the joy in it. Make sure you enjoy it because it is hard work."

We show how information theory can be used to give a quantitative definition of interference between variables in imperative programming languages. In this paper we focus on a particular case of this definition of interference: leakage of information from private variables to public ones in While language programs. The major result of the paper is a quantitative analysis for this language that employs a use-definition graph to calculate bounds on the leakage into each variable.

EDF to invest 8 billion euros in power storage business
Geert De Clercq
PARIS (Reuters) - French state-owned utility EDF plans to invest eight billion euros ($9.94 billion) between 2018 and 2035 to become a European market leader in electricity storage.

EDF, which already operates pumped storage hydropower plants and some utility-scale power storage batteries, said on Tuesday it aimed to become a French and European market leader, offering storage batteries for customers in the retail power sector.
"With storage we can smooth out the intermittence of renewable energy and guarantee the balancing of power grids," EDF chief executive Jean-Bernard Levy told reporters.
Power storage usage by European utilities is growing as the intermittent supply from renewable energies like solar and wind forces them to have more power reserves on standby.
EDF's investment in power storage will focus on boosting the resilience of power grids, on individual storage for retail customers with solar panels, and on off-grid solar plus storage systems in Africa, notably in Ghana and Ivory Coast.
The company will finance the plan with a mix of equity and debt but Levy did not give a breakdown.
EDF plans to develop 10 gigawatts of additional storage capacity worldwide by 2035 - in addition to the 5 GW of pumped storage hydropower it already operates.
The company will develop some 6 GW in industrial-scale storage systems, notably in pumped storage and batteries, and 4 GW of individual batteries for retail customers, companies and municipal customers.
Pumped storage stations pump up water while power prices are low and release it when power prices are high, but their profitability is currently low because of the relatively small difference between peak and trough prices.
Levy said that EDF Energy's 49 megawatt West Burton, Nottinghamshire, battery storage project for Britain's National Grid - which will be one of Europe's largest battery storage projects - is set to launch before the summer.
In the next 12 months, EDF plans to launch two more battery projects aimed at stabilizing grids.
Working with local partners, EDF also aims to develop a portfolio of 1.2 million off-grid customers in Africa by 2035, equipping them with solar panels and individual battery systems.
Asked for a detailed breakdown on how and when EDF will spread the planned eight billion euro investment over the next 17 years, Levy said there was not yet a detailed plan.
He said EDF would double its research and development into power storage to 70 million euros for the 2018-2020 period.
In the coming two years, EDF's New Business division also plans to invest some 15 million euros - about a third of its investments - in projects and startups linked to power storage and flexibility.
EDF's storage plan is the second major investment project in its energy transition towards renewables.
In December, EDF said it would invest about 25 billion euros to build 30 gigawatt (GW) of solar capacity from 2020 to 2035, mainly funded by equity partners, project financing and loans.

Motorola Builds a "Car-Centric" Bluetooth Headset
Expect to see lots of drivers in California and Washington wearing cellular phone headsets come July 1, when they'll start risking being handed a ticket by a cop if they're caught holding a phone to their ear.
courtesy of Motorola
Expect to see lots of drivers in California and Washington wearing cellular phone headsets come July 1, when they'll start risking being handed a ticket by a cop if they're caught holding a phone to their ear.
The two states join New York, New Jersey and Connecticut in allowing only hands-free phones behind the wheel. Because California has by far the most licensed drivers of any state - almost twice as many as second-ranked Texas - manufacturers of Bluetooth devices are looking at a potential bonanzaas millions of Golden State drivers go hands-free.
That explains why Motorola plans to roll out a car-specific Bluetooth headset in the next month or so. But what makes it better than a portable Bluetooth car "kit"?
It sounds like a bunch of marketing speak to us, but Motorola says the H620 Bluetooth headset is better because it has noise reduction and echo-canceling technology and the volume adjusts automatically to compensate for road noise. There's a car charger so you don't have to worry about draining the battery on a long drive and a dashboard holder so you don't have to search for it between the seats or in a cluttered center console.
The new headset also has voice-dialing for entirely hands-free calls, which could be its saving grace since any headset that requires taking your mitts off the wheel to place a call isn't really "hands-free." Even some embedded Bluetooth solutions, such as Chrysler's UConnect, require removing a hand from the wheel to activate them.
Bluetooth is now built into everything from [portable navigation systems](https://www.wired.com/cars/2007/10/portable-gps-na.html) to car stereos, so drivers in California, Washington and other places with hands-free laws have plenty of options. And with Bluetooth available as standard equipment even in economy cars like the Nissan Sentra and Ford's Sync system standard on all but the cheapest models, a hands-free system is a no-brainer if you're buying a new car.
But if you drive an older car, the Motorola H620 may be just the ticket for not getting a ticket.
Motorola says the headset will be available at a date and time to be determined, but we're betting it'll come in sooner rather than later and at a cost under $100. Look for a review of the H620 and a bunch of other Bluetooth headsets on June 25 over at Gadget Lab.

Q: .Net 1.1 decompile tool I am trying to decompile one of our old source codes which had been developed in .Net 1.1. I have tried couple of different decompiler tools but none of them were able to give me a good result which I can compile them. usually there are parts of code which have lots of errors in .Net 1.1 but it is fine code in 2.0 or later. So I am assuming they decompile to newer version of .Net than 1.1.
Tools that I have already used are: Reflector, dotPeek, CodeReflect and some more. I need a tool which can decompile in 1.1 and I would be able to compile the same code in 1.1, it doesn't need to be free tool but I need to be able to save the code from it so I can compile it.
Thanks,

A: The chances are this assembly has been somehow modified (i.e. obfuscated, IL optimized, converted to .Net 2.0 etc.) after compilation.
Assuming the assembly was created in C# (would also be valid for VB though) it was created in C# 1.2. C# 2.0 came with .NET 2.0. So you are saying decompiling produces valid C# 2.0 code and invalid C# 1.2 code, i.e. the decompiled code employs language features introduced in C# 2.0 like generics, iterators, etc. However, all the new features brought in C# 2.0 are implemented kinda like IL macros, i.e. the compiler would generate a predefined piece of IL (in some cases entire methods or classes) for a given language feature. Hence these language features are decompiled by IL pattern matching, i.e. the decompiler looks for these very same specific compiler generated pieces of IL and converts them back to language features. It is highly unlikely that the C# 1.2 compiler will generate the same IL patterns, e.g. the IL generated by the C# 2.0  compiler for  generics or iterators is pretty unique and the C# 1.2 compiler can hardly generate anything similar.
Try using JustDecompile on this assembly but do that on a machine where .net 1.1 is installed (having access to referenced assemblies helps the decompiler). If it fails the same way please provide a decompiled invalid C# 1.1 code sample


Cowboys win 2015 NRL Premiership, can they do it again?
With the lasting memory of perhaps the best Grand Final in NRL history last season when the North Queensland Cowboys defeated the Brisbane Broncos 17-16 in overtime on a Johnathan Thurston field goal, the 2016 season kicks off tonight when the Parramatta Eels play at home against last seasons' Grand Finalists, the Brisbane Broncos.
Considering I've been in NFL mode for months its time to get back on the local horse. So, what's in store for us this season? There has been some big player movements either in the off-season or players signing last year for different clubs, Keiren Foran to Parramatta, Sam Burgess back to Souths, Nate Myles to Manly and Issac Luke to the New Zealand Warriors just to name a few.
Burgess is back, can he turn around the Bunnies?
Last seasons' top 4 were the Roosters, Broncos, Cowboys and Storm. Let's go through these teams to gauge their chances this year. The Roosters as minor premiers last season have been weakened by the loss of key strike players James Maloney (Sharks), Michael Jennings (Eels), and Roger Tuivasa-Sheck (Warriors) and the suspension of Mitchell Pearce really hurts. The Chooks will finish 8th to 10th.
The Chooks will have to overcome the loss of Mitchell Pearce.
The Broncos with still a young team are all the more experienced due to last seasons' Grand Final appearance, they have lost centre Justin Hodges to retirement but really that's it for key positions and as long as the electrifying Anthony Milford is in the side they will be a force. Top 4 for sure.
Can the Cowboys repeat last years' heroics? With minimal player turnover and Johnathan Thurston in the side expect them to be in the mix at the end of the year, their desperation in winning the Comp last season will have to be replaced with a hunger to be repeat Champions, although history isn't on their side, as no team has gone back to back since the Broncos in 92/93. Expect a top 4 finish nonetheless.
The Melbourne Storm still have the big 3, Cameron Smith, Billy Slater and Cooper Cronk, as long as they are fit they will always be a chance to finish near the top of the table.
My beloved Manly Sea Eagles are not Des Haslers' boys anymore with huge turnover the last 2 seasons. Missing the finals in 2015 for the first time in 10 years was a real kick in the guts for the Brookvale faithful.
Trent Barrett has taken over the coaching duties from the embattled Geoff Toovey. The forward pack has been revamped, new signings' Nate Myles (Titans), Martin Taupau (Tigers), Lewis Brown (Panthers), Darcy Lussick (Eels) will add starch and Dylan Walker (Rabbitohs) will look to gel with Daly Cherry-Evans in the halves. As long as fullback Brett Stewart and Jamie Lyon are fit for long periods of the season this team could go places, if not probably 5th or 6th.
Daly Cherry-Evans will have to fire for Manly to finish top 4.
The South Sydney Rabbitohs are a bit of an enigma; there is always drama surrounding Russell Crowe's boys. Huge money signing Sam Burgess is back in the fold, rumors swirling they wanted to offload Adam Reynolds in the off-season, Issac Luke went to the Warriors, can they repeat the incredible run they had 2 years ago as Champion? I think they'll finish middle of the pack, vying for 7th or 8th.
The Cronulla Sharks if they perform to the talent of their roster will be hard to beat, especially at home. With new signing James Maloney (Roosters) leading them around the park with a monster forward pack, Andrew Fifita, Sam Tagataese, Luke Lewis and Paul Gallen, they will be in the top 8, consistency has been their worst enemy in recent seasons, they'll go higher if they conquer that by beating the teams they should beat.
The Cronulla Sharks will have to ride their massive forward pack to get to the finals.
As for the Dogs, Dragons, Raiders, Panthers, Eels, Warriors, Titans, Wests and Knights your guess is as good as mine, but expect the Dogs to challenge again for a top 8 position, Des Hasler knows finals' football so if Canterbury make it, he will have them primed to perform.
Ok, now for the predictions, bet on these at your own peril.
Roosters 8-10?????….are you serious? ??
I welcome further debate on the subject!!
Sorry wounded rooster, i'll cheer you up with a baklava and cup of coffee at you know where, you should be thankful , now i've picked them to finish middle of the pack they'll probably win the comp, i've given brisbane the kiss of death, if they make the GF u should put all your money on their opponent.
and a win tonight against Manly.
Mrs T, after this first half our defense has more holes in it than swiss cheese so thinking your magpies r looking good, knew I should have put a fiver on them .


An assistant principal at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School is bringing the sport of ax throwing to Pompano Beach.
Jeff Morford said Axe Throwing Society will be opening its doors August. Affiliated with the World Axe Throwing League, the facility will offer tournaments and event hosting, such as birthday parties or corporate retreats.
Morford's involvement with the sport stretches back to a visit with his daughters in Austin, Texas.
While ax-throwing facilities tend to lean on a lumberjack theme, Morford is looking to make his a full-blown sports bar. The 5,400-square-foot facility will come complete with a full kitchen and bar serving alcoholic beverages.
With 81-inch television sets lining the walls, Morford hopes to make this a place where people come to watch any big sporting event.
Morford assured that they are taking safety seriously. Ax-throwing coaches are with patrons at all times while in the throwing range and there is no drinking allowed while in the range.
Morford said a representative from the Pompano Beach Police Department's Code Enforcement did not raise any concerns as long as the facility abides by the Florida Building Code. Emergency medical services are always on standby in case of an emergency.
