Female cockroaches that get "touched" –…

Bad news for the java deprived
Cafe del Sol: When, oh when?
By DOUG THOMPSON
Cafe del Sol will not reopen as planned on Monday, March 1.
And a date for just when — or if — the popular Floyd coffee shop, which closed for the month of February, will reopen is not certain, according to owner Sally Walker.
"We've had, shall we say, some glitches," Walker told us Thursday.
The status of Cafe del Sol has been a hot topic among customers during the shop's month-long hiatus. The shop's web site still says the establishment would be closed for a week in February and had not been updated as of 10 p.m. Thursday.
Speculation about the future began earlier this year when Walker let her ABC license expire and del Sol stopped selling wine and beer.
Walker said she hopes the shop reopens and would let us know when she can set a firm date for reopening.
In del Sol's absence, the Floyd Country Store began opening at 8 a.m. to serve coffee and pastries. Store manager David Wood said they are also adding additional breakfast fare, including a ham and egg sandwich on french toast.

VISION (current)
Written by Alex dotmobile HQ
A big week for wireless customers in Canada
Everyone has an opinion about wireless in Canada, and up until now the regulator only hears the opinions of the big telecoms. We're one of the companies who want to change that, to bring affordable and awesome wireless service to Canada - and we've just taken another step towards that goal.
This was an important week for wireless customers in Canada. As a part of wireless review proceeding, the CRTC asked for feedback about the current state of the Canadian wireless industry, including the proposal to properly support independent tiny telecoms (instead of just big telecoms).
You can read a variety of articles written about what the big telecoms are saying, and (surprise!) they aren't interested in affordability or solving real problems faced by Canadians.
All of this fuss despite the proven value that competition and tiny telecoms bring to network operators worldwide, and no talk of fixing the problems faced by underserved Canadians - youth, seniors, students, families, newcomers, visitors to the country, small businesses or any Canadian who wants to save or optimize their spending.
In contrast, our analysis focused on problems faced by Canadians every day. For example, the dearth of quality connectivity options available for $30 compared to $130 per month. We want to address more than just average prices, it's also about enabling connectivity for people with moderate needs or modest budgets.
Despite what the big telecoms tell us, better wireless service doesn't always mean higher speeds, it also means pricing differentiation and service innovation. The big telecoms have failed to deliver and our proposal is to let tiny telecoms like dotmobile™ do their thing.
To start, we are building easier ways to connect, data sold by the gig with perpetual rollover, no additional roaming charges when travelling to the US, talk and text available anywhere in the world on wi-fi, and controls to better optimize the balance of connectivity and cost.
You can read our entire submission - but it's 19 pages long, you've been warned. :)
For those of you who want a more bite-sized option, we will be publishing parts of our submission to our blog over the next couple of weeks. To get notified when a post is up, follow us on Twitter or Facebook - or, you can just pop by the website once a week and read up on the new content.
We will cover topics ranging from the impact of $0 phone contracts and punitive data overage charges to how tiny telecoms have improved pricing in countries like the UK without destroying their wireless industry.

Former Washington Mutual (WaMu) CEO Kerry Killinger doesn't understand the concept of personal and financial responsibility. He told lawmakers in Washington this week that the reason Wamu went under (the largest bank failure in U.S. history) was because the Fed, Treasury, and D.C lawmakers decided not to save his bank, yet chose to save other banks.
Meanwhile, Mr. Killinger has two homes; one in Palm Desert, California (outside of Palm Springs), and one in a a gated community in Seattle, Washington. While CEO of Washington Mutual in 2007, Killinger earned a total compensation of $14,364,883, which included a base salary of $1,000,000, a cash bonus of $0, stocks granted of $10,120,731, and options granted of $2,846,400. In 2008, the year Washington Mutual ceased to exist and Killinger was fired as CEO, he earned $25.1 million in compensation. Killinger received a $15.3 million severance payment in September 2008 as well as a $445,200 lump-sum payment for vacation benefits and an additional $300,669.He has no problem blaming others for the demise of his bank.
This is a blog about personal injury law. So what does the Wamu story have to do with that?
All I know is not watching the bottom line is no way to run a business. As a personal injury lawyer, I have to finance each case I take. I don't get paid until the end of the case. That's the essence of the contingency fee agreement I have with every one of my clients. Careful evaluation of each case is required, or I, like Mr. Killinger, could see my law practice go down the tubes. That's why from a philosophical and practical point of view I only take on meritorious personal injury cases that have a good chance of success. I represent people who have real problems, have suffered real losses and terrible injuries. I have no interest in filing lawsuits on any other type of case. To me, that would be like investing in toxic mortgages. And, to my knowledge, Washington has no plans to come to the aid of the owner of a personal injury practice who didn't pay close attention to the business side of the practice.


It's not just Latino illegals we need to worry about. America's lax immigration system has allowed gangsters and former KGB spies into our country. Much of the hacking and credit card fraud of late has been tracked back to eastern European driven activities.
America is exceptional because we have the Constitution — which is still supposed to be the supreme law of the land. We just need to get our government back to following the Constitution to become exceptional again.

"I love the relative emptiness of the days between Christmas and New Year's. In the space of so much not happening, so much seems to be getting ready to. You can almost feel all the forces coalescing for a new beginning. The perception that it produces.
It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the words that are found to describe are tapped out in sound and light. The treasure of an old typewriter is in the ink and touch of the keys on blank paper. The pressure of the strike, the shape of each hammer alphabetical key, are all so relative to the model, settings and the age of the machine. My father's old Corona sits on a shelf in an aura of history that still lends a perfected cadence when tapped. His was choppy, broken in nuance and memorable in its tap. I can hear it still.

Guide to Social Media and Job Search
4 Misunderstandings Job Seekers Have About Social Media
By Joshua Waldman
Over 80 percent of hiring managers say they use social media to find new talent.
If that's where employerss are looking for employees, then that's where job seekers need to be, right?
Find Your Next Job Here

and get a $50 Sponsored Job credit!
If you haven't made social media the central part of your job search yet, then you may be guilty of one of the following four misunderstandings about using social media.
1. Social media is for kids on cellphones.
Au contraire! Ok, I'm sure this is probably true. After all, roughly half of all emails are read on mobile devices. And some young people can type faster on their phone than my 90 words per minute on the keyboard.
However, not every social media tool is easily used on cellphones, and each has a desktop interface.
More to the point, just because younger folks use social media doesn't mean it's a passing trend or exclusive to them.
As a matter of fact, the fastest growing demographic on Facebook is people 55 and older, and the average age of a Twitter user is 35.
Every Fortune 500 company has executives with profiles on LinkedIn.
2. Showing my picture will hurt my chances of finding a job.
Look. I'm not going to stand here and pretend that ageism, racism, or sexism aren't real problems. They are. And it's too bad that in the 21st century people still have to deal with this.
But by not showing a picture on your profiles, you can do a lot of damage to your chances. It's like a profile on a dating site that says, "tall, dark and handsome" with no picture. Yeah right!
Many recruiters I've spoken with concur on this point. Image-less profiles wind up in the "maybe" pile pretty quickly.
3. I'm not comfortable sharing so much about myself; privacy is important to me.
Privacy has completely changed over the last few years. It's harder and harder to be disconnected or stay invisible. The more you try, the more you alienate yourself from possibilities and opportunities.
Rather than running away and losing control, it's much better to feed people the information you want them to know about you.
Remember, there is a far greater chance of having your identity stolen from postal mail than from an online profile. Use some caution and never publish your social security number, date of birth, or mother's maiden name online. But don't let fear eliminate your opportunities!
4. I don't have a lot of time, and I don't need another distraction.
When email came out, did you also say that you preferred paying for stamps or waiting for inter-office mail? Realize that time management is 100 percent your issue – it's not the tools you use. When used strategically, your social media profiles and connections will be your most powerful assets throughout your career.
If you are new to using social media, then I would suggest starting off by reading the great LinkedIn articles here on Job-Hunt. LinkedIn is by far the highest leverage tool you have at your disposal. Good luck on your journey to learning all about social media for your career!

Theosophy Adyar:- Visiting Adyar will never be the same again. Serious allegations ignored.
It has not yet been proved that Tim Boyd has actually been elected president, but Tim Boyd himself has proved that he isn't up to job by failing to deal with serious allegations that require the immediate attention and action of a proper leader. A clear statement, to all members, about the allegations is also essential but Tim Boyd's communication with the members consists of 10 minutes waffle on YouTube, in which any serious issues facing the Society are conveniently ignored.
Allegations, that the Adyar Estate General Manager claims to be influential with the local police and threatens those who step out of line with imprisonment, turn the public profile of the Theosophical Society from that of a spiritual organisation, to a cult ruled by fear. Tim Boyd must be aware that the Theosophical Society may never recover from the damage that these allegations will cause, if not addressed, but appears incapable doing anything at all.
Please note that these allegations of intimidation of Adyar staff and members are not just rumours flying about. They were outlined in detail in two formal public complaints to Tim Boyd by Mr M Kannan, who has worked as an accountant at Adyar.


Honda is currently in the process of revealing the Civic Type R Euro for 2010. The new model will have an 'updated exterior design', and that is all we know. The Japanese automaker told us nothing more. The current model boasts a 2.0-litre naturally aspirated engine with 201-horsepower and 142lb-ft of torque. Let's see if Honda can better this.

Q: Don't know how to handle FileWriter exceptions In my code, one of my methods says:
this.write("stuff")

and the write method is
public void write(String text) throws IOException
{
    FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path, true);
    PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(writer);
    printer.printf("%s" + "%n", text);
    printer.close();
}

The thing says that there is an
"unreported exception java.io.IOException; must be caught or declared to be thrown" for the FileWriter.
What should I put in the try and catch statements to fix the exception?

A: How to handle any kind of exception is essential to Java development.
There is two ways to do it:
public void write(String text) //notice I deleted the throw
{
    try{
        FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path, true);
        PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(writer);
        printer.printf("%s" + "%n", text);
        printer.close();
    catch(IOException ioe){
        //you write here code if an ioexcepion happens. You can leave it empty if you want
    }
}

and...
public void write(String text) throws IOException //See here it says throws IOException. You must then handle the exception when calling the method
{
    FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(path, true);
    PrintWriter printer = new PrintWriter(writer);
    printer.printf("%s" + "%n", text);
    printer.close();
}

//like this:
public static void main(String[] args) //or wherever you are calling write from
{
    try{
            write("hello"); //this call can throw an exception which must be caught somewhere
        }catch(IOException ioe){/*whatever*/}
}

American Wildlife in Symbol and Story
Author(s): Gillespie, Angus K., and Jay Mechling, eds.
Seven folklorists demonstrate how Americans use distinctively American wild animals to express national attitudes about such crucial matters as politics, race, gender, sex, and danger.
The seven folklorists in this volume examine the symbolic use of one animal (turkey, rattlesnake, alligator, armadillo, bear, fox, or coyote), drawing on sources from Chaucer to early colonial texts.
The seven folklorists in this volume examine the turkey, rattlesnake, alligator, armadillo, bear, fox, and coyote, and explore the social and psychological meanings they hold for Americans.
"If there were such a thing as a cornucopia of American wild animals, this would be one. This is the best blend of folk and popular culture scholarship I have seen in a long time." –Roger D. Abrahams, University of Pennsylvania
"Amusing beasts dive, pounce, strut, waddle, slither, slide, lurk, slink, and crouch, glaring at the reader in many dreadful poses, making the most dangerous denizens of the wilds into animals 'good to think.'" –Roger D. Abrahams, University of Pennsylvania
"Something akin to Richard M. Dorson's Man and Beast in American Comic Legend (1982), this wonderful collection considers in individual essays how human folk, both at home and abroad, have viewed seven 'distinctively American' critters–the turkey, rattlesnake, alligator, armadillo, bear, fox, and coyote."–Nineteenth-Century Literature
"This book is full of humor and charm, despite an occasional patch of straw-footed exposition." –Will Baker, San Francisco Chronicle
"Very lively pieces. Bear shamans, curiosity and foxes, coyotes in poems, fabulous armadillos, rattlesnakes as symbols of ourselves. Good Research. Vivid."–The Book Reader

Q: Output dictionary of tuple keys and tuple values as latitude longitude data and plot it I have two samples of precipitation geographical data each sample is an array with dimensions as time, lat, lon coordinate. I applied a statistical test on these two samples and what I want to get as outcome is a series containing the test statistics ( there are two statistics) on a lat-lon grid. I then want to plot one of the test statistics values, on the lat-lon grid. What I did is defined as a dictionary called test, test={}, and then I applied the test as follows:
for ii in range(96):
     for jj in range(144):
         test[ii,jj]=stats.ks_2samp(year_avgprec1[:,ii,jj],year_avgprec2[:,ii,jj])

The outcome for test is a dictionary of the form
dict_keys([(0, 0), (0, 1), (0, 2), (0, 3), ... up to (96,144)

and
dict_values([Ks_2sampResult(statistic=0.25, pvalue=0.571336004933722), Ks_2sampResult(statistic=0.25, pvalue=0.571336004933722), Ks_2sampResult(statistic=0.25, pvalue=0.571336004933722),...

How can I get my p-values and associate the dimensions lat - lon which are the keys of the dictionary (the 96x144, in order to plot it on a lat-lon grid) ?
Thanks,

A: While waiting for suggestions, the best I could come up with was:
matrix = []
for item in test:
   print(item,round(test[item][0],5))
   matrix.append(test[item][0])

x = np.reshape(matrix, (96, 144))
print(x.shape)
print(type(x))

This produces a 96x144 ( lat lon) matrix which I can then plot.
If any other more pythoninc suggestions I'm happy to read them.

U.S. Confirms Deaths Of U.S. Ambassador, Staff
By Steve Inskeep
It's MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Steve Inskeep.
RENEE MONSTAGNE, HOST:
And I'm Renee Montagne. All through the morning we've been getting more details about the attack against the American consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
In the city that was at the heart of the Libyan revolution, protesters killed the U.S. ambassador and three other Americans. Here's Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
SECRETARY HILLARY CLINTON: Yesterday, our U.S. diplomatic post in Benghazi, Libya was attacked. Heavily armed militants assaulted the compound and set fire to our buildings.
MONSTAGNE: Secretary of State Clinton, speaking this morning. Ambassador Christopher Stevens was among those killed and the State Department released the name of another, foreign service officer Sean Smith.
The attack was sparked in part by an American-made video that mocked the prophet Muhammad. It was circulating online and just recently in Arabic.
Protesters in Cairo also stormed the fortified walls of the U.S. embassy and pulled down an American flag, replacing it with a black one. But that protest didn't turn deadly.
President Obama condemned the violence this morning.
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA: Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects all faiths. We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence. None. The world must stand together to unequivocally reject these brutal acts.
MONSTAGNE: Before the president spoke, his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney, criticized the president. He claimed the White House stood by a statement issued by the U.S. embassy in Cairo prior to any attacks condemning efforts to offend believers of all religions. Mitt Romney spoke to reporters this morning.
MITT ROMNEY: Possibly, the administration was wrong to stand by a statement sympathizing with those who had breached our embassy in Egypt instead of condemning their actions. It's never too early for the United States government to condemn attacks on Americans and to defend our values.
MONSTAGNE: Mitt Romney has now come under criticism for using this event as a political opportunity.
We'll give you more details on this story throughout the day on NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.


For an entirely brand new festival Outbreak in Coventry have managed to collate a line-up as good as any you'll see this summer. As spring starts to appear (Saturday 1st - Sunday 2nd March), the Ricoh Arena will play host to stellar names such as Amine Edge, Hannah Wants, Leftwing and Kody and Artful Dodger - be sure to check out the full lineup listed below. Stand by as well for the 2nd wave of artist announcements on the 16th of January.
Among the other artists confirmed already are house music legends Kerri Chandler and Dennis Ferrer, as well as one of the stars of 2013, Josh Butler.
There is a hotel inside the Ricoh Arena, which will serve as somewhere good to put your head down for the disconcerting raver who doesn't like to voyage around in the quest for somewhere to stay. For anyone coming from outside the Midlands coaches have been laid on from pretty much every major city in the UK all for the reasonable price of £5.50.
Eight arenas will play host to around 10,000 people over the course of the weekend and with official after parties to also be announced, the weekend should serve as a decent warm up to any summer plans. With involvement from labels such as Hot Creations, Noir and Defected there will be no shortage of quality on offer.
Outbreak Spring Festival Coventry tickets are on sale now. Early bird tickets have now sold out with 1st Release tickets also selling fast. Note that both Saturday, Sunday and Weekend tickets are all available and we advise buying tickets sooner rather than later to avoid missing out on the particular ticket type that you wish.


Three types of surgery, the Trabectome procedure, Trabeculectomy and Tube Shunt surgery, are currently the gold standard.
As one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide, glaucoma is a serious condition usually treated with eyedrops, laser, surgery, or a combination of all three. Outlined below are some of the surgical techniques that Dr. Kurt Schwiesow, a fellowship trained glaucoma specialist, uses to treat glaucoma.
The Trabectome procedure involves removing a section of tissue from the drain of the eye, effectively clearing much of the blockage that causes high eye pressure. The entire procedure takes ten minutes or less to perform through a small incision similar to what is used for cataract surgery. Patients can return to work and other normal activities the next day with little to no side effects or scarring. For the majority of glaucoma patients in need of surgery, the Trabectome procedure presents a safe and effective option. Tower Clock Eye Center is proud to be the first practice in Wisconsin certified to perform the Trabectome procedure for the treatment of glaucoma.
Visit the Trabectome website for more information.
During a trabeculectomy, a "trapdoor" is created in the wall of the eye at the edge of the cornea (the clear front of the eye). Under this trapdoor, a small channel is created in the wall of the eye. The trapdoor is then secured using one or more sutures, which allows fluid to leave the eye in a controlled manner. The fluid then drains into a small bleb, or blister, that forms just under the skin that covers the eye. Typically the entire surgery is hidden under the upper eyelid. Although trabeculectomy was first developed over 30 years ago, our surgeons are trained in the latest techniques allowing for safer and more effective surgery.
During placement of a tube shunt or drainage device, a plastic reservoir is attached to the wall of the eye under the upper eyelid. From this device, a small flexible plastic tube runs forward through the wall of the eye which allows fluid to drain to the reservoir. The device is then covered by donor tissue to prevent erosion or exposure. Our doctors are trained to implant both Ahmed and Baerveldt drainage devices – currently the most widely used and effective devices available.
iStent is the world's smallest medical device and is simple and elegant in its function. It is designed to manage mild-to-moderate open-angle glaucoma at the same time as cataract surgery. iStent is 20,000 times smaller than the intraocular lenses (IOL) used in cataract surgery, but that is only part of the story. iStent is a permanent stent similar to those used to prevent heart attacks and strokes, but this implant helps drain excess eye fluid and reduce pressure in the eye. iStent is both safe and effective, and many patients who choose it will have a reduced dependence on glaucoma eyedrop medications.


The trail parallels the Cobbs Creek Parkway for most of its length. This photo was taken near the Mt. Moriah Cemetery on the southern section.
The trail passes this large cemetery near its southern terminus.
Most of the trail is tree-lined, providing welcome shade from the summer heat.
The bell tower of the Church of Christian Compassion dominates the skyline near the trail at the intersection of Cobbs Creek Parkway and Cedar Ave.

It is generally accepted that the Soviet Union came out of the Yalta Conference with the most gains. It is also generally accepted the Stalin was a master in negotiations, usually getting what he desired. Do you believe if Roosevelt had been in better health he could have negotiated a better deal for the West, especially in east and central Europe?
No, I don't think so. Possession is 9/10ths of the law and since Soviet troops were occupying Eastern Europe, the West couldn't really do much about this unless it was actually willing to risk war with the Soviets.
Also, I think that FDR was grateful to Stalin for doing so much of the bleeding in WWII. This meant that less American (and British) blood would have to be shed in the fight against Nazi Germany.
If you want a better deal for the West, you might as well have Stauffenberg's plot succeed in July 1944. Back then, the Soviets have not yet left Soviet territory.
Churchill seemed more combative toward Stalin, but without the support of Roosevelt, he stood little chance to change things. I agree, Stalin was not giving up what he had gained by conquest. A strong combined front by Churchill and FDR would have not likely changed the outcome.
If I may be allowed to put forward a theory, I suspect that Churchill might have still been pissed off at Stalin for the M-R Pact and thus was more willing to confront Stalin than Roosevelt was.
Do you believe that Churchill may have been more concerned about what was happening on the continent than Roosevelt, especially with the U.S. still engaged in a war with Japan? I know Roosevelt was anxious to get the USSR involved in the Pacific front. He may have been willing to give Stalin parts of Europe in exchange.
Wasn't Britain also fighting against Japan, though?
Still, I agree that the US was more committed to the war against Japan than Britain was. Thus, you might very well be correct in regards to this.
A documentary I watched stated that Churchill was also trying to keep the U.K. relevant, not just in Europe but on a global basis. His inability to intervene persuasively at Yalta and influence the outcome was the the signal that the U.S. and USSR were now the world powers. Certainly, the USSR then became the most influential nation on the continent that was on the continent (that is, with the possible exception of the U.S.).
That's ridiculous, there was nothing that Churchill could have done to prevent the Russians maintaining control over Poland, and he tried to negotiate a half share of influence in Hungary and Yugoslavia (which of course control the sea-lanes to the East) but could only achieve his way with Greece. I know it's fashionable to kick Churchill but this kind of thing is just silly. At least Churchill did make some effort to stand up against Stalin, getting precious little support from Roosevelt; but the West would have had to go to war with Stalin to have any chance of preventing him doing what he wanted in countries that were occupied by Soviet troops. I don't like the way that Churchill behaved toward the Poles, but it is only possible to sell something if you already have it in your possession.
