Stanford forward Francesca Belibi (5) drives to the basket against Santa Clara guard Marya Hudgins (23) during the second half at Stanford Maples Pavilion on Nov. 30, 2022 in Palo Alto, California.
Stanford got its first win over a ranked team this season Sunday with an 84-63 rout of then-No. 23 Gonzaga. It was the Cardinal's second game against a ranked team after an overtime loss to No. 1 South Carolina on Nov. 20.
Tennessee began the season ranked No. 5, but after the Vols lost 59-56 to then-No. 9 Virginia Tech on Sunday, they fell to 4-5 and figure to come to Maples on Dec. 18 as an unranked team. Creighton, which plays at Maples on Dec. 20, fell from No. 13 to No. 18 after a 66-62 loss to unranked St. John's on Sunday.
The toughest part of the Cardinal (10-1) schedule looks to be Pac-12 play, with Arizona (No. 12), UCLA (No. 13), Utah (No. 15) and Oregon (No. 17) all ranked. With two weeks off before facing Tennessee, the Cardinal are five wins removed from their South Carolina loss, and getting closer to finding that elusive consistent lineup.
One of head coach Tara VanDerveer's challenges heading into the season was distributing minutes across one of the deepest rosters in recent memory. Returning All-Americans Haley Jones and Cameron Brink, top recruit Lauren Betts, seniors Fran Belibi and Hannah Jump, and exciting sophomores Kiki Iriafen, Brooke Demetre and Elena Bosgana, an embarrassment of riches makes up the Cardinal cast.
VanDerveer sets
AP Top 25 mark
Stanford head coach Tara VanDerveer stands atop the Associated Press women's basketball poll with the most appearances all-time, breaking a tie with the late Pat Summitt.
VanDerveer's Cardinal remained No. 2 behind top-ranked South Carolina on Monday, giving her 619 weeks with one of her teams in the AP Top 25: 592 weeks with Stanford and 27 with Ohio State when she was in charge of that program. Summitt's 618 weeks in the poll all came with Tennessee.
VanDerveer said she thinks some players are playing too often and others too little as she tries to nail down her ideal rotation. Freshman Talana Lepolo has become the starting point guard and performed well with 5.6 assists per game, but her minutes are starting to take a toll. VanDerveer would like to see fellow freshmen Indya Nivar and Jzaniya Hurriel earn more playing time.
"We need to get them some more minutes," she said. "We're ecstatic with how well Lepolo is doing, but she's getting tired out there, so we need more help at that spot."
Two players have made playing-time decisions more complicated: Brink as the established big who plays in the paint (while impressively improving her shooting range) and Iriafen with her lights-out shooting. VanDerveer would like to play Betts more often — the center has been efficient with 7.3 points per game over an average of 9.5 minutes, but that has been matchup-based.
When the Cardinal have played what VanDerveer calls a "run-around team," — essentially a small, quick team that shoots from the perimeter — Betts has struggled. She didn't play much against in an 82-69 win over Santa Clara on Wednesday for that reason.
"I want her to look good, she's a bright star, and she needs more game time," VanDerveer said. "She is probably another month or two away from feeling really confident."
Through Sunday, the Cardinal were 12th in the nation in points per game (85.6) and ranked eighth in field-goal percentage at 49.9. They've gotten double-digit scoring averages from Brink, Jones, Jump and Iriafen.
Brink has been a force at times, tied for the team lead with 12.4 points per game, but the South Carolina loss epitomized what can be frustrating about her game. She had 25 points but fouled out — albeit in overtime, after she played most of the fourth quarter with four fouls. Foul trouble has followed her throughout her career. The Cardinal had hoped that might change in her junior season.
"It's disappointing," VanDerveer said. "When she's out there and doing a lot of good things, it looks real good. But every player has to be disciplined. I can't change if the ref calls fouls. So it is challenging and disappointing, but you have to learn."
The quick rotation off the bench has afforded the Cardinal to survive those moments when Brink is off the court. Stanford has done what VanDerveer describes as a "tag team" off the bench when fouls occur or she wants to shake up things, and that has kept legs fresh and allowed the Cardinal to play at a quicker pace.
In an ideal world, they could do that and Brink would get more impactful minutes, too.
"I put in Fran, and Fran did great," VanDerveer said. "You sub people in because they play so hard and we can tag-team, not because they're making mistakes or fouling."
VanDerveer also would like Jump to play fewer minutes; she's at 26.6 per game, trailing only Jones (26/.7) on the Stanford roster. VanDerveer would like to establish a 3-point threat from beyond Jump, which made Demetre's 17 points against Gonzaga off five treys a welcome addition.
The Cardinal have a strong chance to go into conference play 12-1. With two weeks to reflect before the final two nonconference games, VanDerveer's challenge remains what it was, but now a bit more defined: figure out how to distribute minutes, and get the perimeter and point guards settled.
"We lost so many perimeter people," VanDerveer said. "We could get some more help there.... I've got to balance it."

The 10 year anniversary event commemorated the human rights legacy of Congressman Tom Lantos and those who continue the fight.
The Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice's 10th Anniversary Gala celebration was held at the Willard Hotel on Wednesday, December 5, 2018. In a room full of Members of Congress, human rights activists, dissidents, members of the media and supporters, the inaugural decennial Lantos Legacy Award was presented to Vice President Joe Biden.
Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi introduced Vice President Biden at the event and addressed the gala attendees by saying, "To the many human rights advocates, dissidents and democracy champions in this room and around the world: thank you. As Joe Biden's mother used to say, "Bravery resides in every heart, and the time will come when it must be summoned." We are so grateful for your courage to answer that summons, so that we can advance a future of justice, freedom and dignity for all."
"There is simply no one else that my father would have wanted the first Tom Lantos Legacy Award to go to other than Joe Biden," said Dr. Katrina Lantos Swett, President of the Lantos Foundation, "Their shared passion and commitment to human rights and justice cemented a memorable friendship and partnership during Tom's lifetime, and continues to make Joe a towering figure on the international stage."
About The Lantos Foundation: The Lantos Foundation was established in 2008 to further the legacy of Tom Lantos, the only Holocaust survivor ever to serve in Congress. In addition to his service as Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee and Founder of the Congressional Human Rights Caucus, Tom Lantos will be long remembered for his profound moral convictions and his deep commitment to human rights. We focus our work on four pillars that represent the major themes of Tom's work: Religious Freedom, Rule of Law, Global Citizenship and the Lantos Legacy.


» Voskhod? What is that?
So I've had a few people on various forums and other places about Voskhod? You've probably noticed it on the future products page. Put simply, it is going to be a variant of a Russian Big Muff with a clean blend. I did say that's the simple answer.
Once upon a time, I ended up making a slightly modified version of a Russian Big Muff (pictured above) to fill a tonal gap in the lower frequencies where I wanted that distortion to reach the whole way down the spectrum. The original I made has ended up in use for a long time on my board/rack, albeit without a clean blend. I made small modifications to it. It features lower gain transistors for a slightly darker sound. I haven't really seen a Big Muff that has needed more gain, but I could be the odd one out. There were a few little tweaks too, just to change certain EQ points in the tone stack, as well as in the clipping stages.
One of the big reasons I have taken so long to release it though was the clean blend and a buffer issue. I used the same blend as in the Animated on my prototype and after a few minutes immediately clipped it off after some oscillation issues. That's fine if you want to really make some noise but the oscillation due to the circuit feeding back made it unusable for its main purpose. What works in one, doesn't work in the other without some modification, so I've gone balls to the wall and used a pre and post buffer on both the Voskhod guts and the clean to remove oscillation and clean up the blend even more. Results from the breadboard are very promising.
So now it's been redesigned, just a matter of building the next prototype and testing. I'm still doing artwork for it. I won't keep the scruffed, rattle can painted, worn version that I did to test the design even if it has "aesthetic". I won't announce a release date yet, it's merely just a matter of getting it working, doing a few demos and then putting it on the production line.


Submission gives you the best possible integration of sub-contrabass content, be it music or film, to your otherwise low frequency limited state-of-the-art playback system. If you are looking for an agile, deep and powerful subwoofer system, that is flexible and incredibly musical, run Submission.
Submission is designed to compliment playback systems that have great sound down to about the kick drum (50Hz or so) but lack a sense of glory and tranquility that deep bass done right can give. The stereo and home theater systems I'm referring to usually feature large monitors or medium to large floor-standing loudspeakers that get you a good impression of bass but lack sincere detail of body and weight.
Submission features the same electronics and awesome Eminence LAB-12 sub-woofer driver and tuning we developed for our Definition Mk.IV loudspeaker including the machined aluminum alloy casing that helps protect the electronics from vibration born distortion.
DSP Bypass: yes, switched for those that want to integrate more elaborate signal processing but desire to take advantage of the world-class amplification of submission.
Eminence LAB-12 made in Eminence, Kentucky, U.S.A.
Balance of the system designed and made In Ogden, Utah, U.S.A.
Submission is a super-structured enclosure that significantly reduces power and fidelity robbing cabinet vibration. In addition to the internal acoustic behavior of the enclosure the cabinet harmonics, plate resonance and mechanical stress-risers are also modeled and minimized. The cabinet is made from North American high-density composite wood plate (comp-60) and is machined on state-of-the-art CNC mills in Utah. Submission uses real wood veneer pressed at the plywood factory and is not laid-up post cabinet assembly ensuring your finish will not lift or warp. For glue, it's Titebond-III, for the highest joint strength and a lifetime of unfailing, moisture-proof service.
Standard wood options are top coated with premium UV protecting conversion varnish. Other finishes are available, anything you can dream really including any paint. Other wood species are priced based on market price. Please contact us for custom finish requests.
Submission is a medium compliance, sealed enclosure system where the restorative driver forces are shared between the driver's suspension (spider is primary) and the air in the cabinet. Submission continues our tradition of making quick, details "sealed" subwoofers.
Hypex UcD 400 amp module.
ALPS pots for volume and signal processing control.
Zu Event #28 hookup wire on signal feeds.
3M IDC adhesive locking terminals.
Neutrik RCA jacks (sound great and as tough as it gets).
Extra large toroidal transformer and overbuilt linear power supply.
Machined 1/4" [6.3mm] 6061 aluminum housing assembly.
Custom machined 6061 aluminum knobs.
Gain structure of preamp section is designed to accommodate both low and high-efficiency loudspeakers.
Submission subwoofers get one week of play before leaving the factory and while it is high-intensity and shakes the bugs out you will find Submission to sound significantly better after a few weeks of heavy play. And of note, if they are transported in cold weather, they take several days to "warm up" and return to giving you their best.
Make sure you have a 3/4" [20mm] or more gap between the bottom of the loudspeakers and the floor; the down-firing woofer needs a bit of room to breath.
Corner loading is not necessary. If you are using one Submission we recommend it be placed somewhere between your left/right speakers, closer to center is better but you don't need to get all crazy about centering it. If you are using a stereo pair of Submissions we recommend that they be placed similarly to what you would to with your stereo main speakers—placed symmetrically and near your stereo main speakers.
The Submission might be of hulking proportions but it behaves like an Olympian foil fencer with lethal speed, accuracy and poised elegance. With this active and flexible giant I hands-down had the very best bass I've ever enjoyed in 10 years on the job.
Four stainless-steel ball-end footers for use with hard surface flooring. Four high strength spikes to be used to punch through and anchor the subwoofer through carpets and rugs. Four stainless-steel low profile nuts for locking the footers (installed). 9/16" wrench size; 14mm also works but it's tight. The thread size for those interested in trying aftermarket footers is 3/8–16.

Muffin, you will always be a part of me. My life here will be so empty without you. You left this planet way before your time, but your heart and love you gave me will last until the end of time.
I think God wanted you to share your love to others and that is the reason he took you from me.
Muffin's date of birth: unknown. Death: 09/28/2016, way too early, with more love to give.
You left a hole in my heart, my only true friend.
I'm so sorry for your loss. I know you meant so much to each other. It is hard to go through when we lose our animal companions. They just have so much unconditional love for us and us for them.
I hope your pain gets easier. God bless you for being such a caring person!
I very much appreciate your kindness. Thanks for being so thoughtful.
My deepest condolences for the premature loss of your precious Muffin. May s/he rest in eternal peace, happiness and love with God.

Watch: Date Labeling Confusion Causes Food Waste, Consumer Uncertainty /
Watch: Date Labeling Confusion Causes Food Waste, Consumer Uncertainty
Food Tank
Stephanie Van Dyke
A new short film produced in partnership by the Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic and Racing Horse Productions spotlights how the confusion around expiration date labels contributes to food waste in America.
Expired? Food Waste in America looks at the specific example of milk in Montana, where the state law requires the sell-by date on all milk to be no later than 12 days after pasteurization. "After the sell-by date passes, the milk may not be sold or donated. As a result of the law, thousands of gallons of milk have been thrown away, and milk prices in the state have risen," writes Harvard Law Today.
However, as with many so-called expired foods, the milk in Montana is safe to drink beyond those first 12 days. And Montana isn't the only state with laws that promote food safety uncertainty and food waste.
According to FLPC director Emily Broad Leib, "date label confusion harms consumers and food companies, and it wastes massive amounts of food, which harms the planet. The U.S. wastes 160 billion pounds of food, or nearly 40 percent of food produced in this country, annually. Twenty-five percent of our freshwater is used to grow food we throw away. What gets tossed out goes into landfills, releasing hazardous methane into an already stressed atmosphere. Making date labels clear and uniform offers a relatively low-cost way to eliminate confusion and save consumers money, and it would make a big dent in the unnecessary waste of wholesome food."
The Harvard Food Law and Policy Clinic hopes this film raises awareness about the consequences of confusing date labeling and how a uniform labeling system could impact food waste and consumer food safety.

Recent maps reveal trouble spots for the world's imperiled birds.
In South America, two swaths light up with unusually high concentrations of birds at risk of extinction: southeastern Brazil plus a strip along the northwest coast of the continent, say nine eminent biologists in a status review of biodiversity in the May 30 Science.
Warmer colors indicate a greater number of birds classified as vulnerable or worse by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. This pattern contrasts with a map showing where the most bird species live. Species remaining to be discovered and eventually added to the map are likely to be vulnerable ones.
The authors' analysis suggests that newly discovered birds are more likely than older, well-known species to be naturally rare and have small ranges. Both are disadvantages for withstanding the pressures of human activity.

Q2C PARTNERSHIP OPENS 2017 ROUND OF LAND GRANTS
The Quabbin-to-Cardigan Partnership (Q2C) today released a request for proposals for its eleventh round of Land Conservation Grants, which funds transaction-related expenses on land conservation projects in the "Quabbin-to-Cardigan" region of western New Hampshire and north central Massachusetts. The Q2C Partnership has $30,000 to re-grant in 2017. The grant program is privately funded and administered by the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests on behalf of the Quabbin-to-Cardigan Partnership. Non-profit land trusts, municipalities, and state agencies that have land conservation as a primary function are all eligible to apply for a Q2C land conservation grant.
The two-state Quabbin-to-Cardigan region spans one hundred miles from the Quabbin Reservoir in Massachusetts northward along the spine of New Hampshire to the southern boundary of the White Mountain National Forest. Encompassing approximately two million acres, the region is one of the largest remaining areas of intact, interconnected, and ecologically significant forest in central New England and is a key headwater of both the Merrimack and Connecticut Rivers.
Launched in 2003, the Quabbin-to-Cardigan Partnership is a collaborative effort of more than twenty private organizations and public agencies working on land conservation in the Q2C landscape. The partners share a vision of conserving (on a strictly willing-seller/donor basis) the region's most ecologically significant forests and key connections between them for wildlife passage and human recreation. Over the past ten years, the Q2C partners have helped to permanently protect thousands of acres.
In 2009, the Quabbin-to-Cardigan Partnership launched its Land Conservation Grants program, which underwrites transaction costs – appraisals, surveys, title research, staff time, etc. – on conservation transactions that protect land identified in the Q2C conservation plan. Over the past eight years, the lands grant program has awarded $900,000 to 84 separate land conservation projects that have conserved more than 27,000 acres of land.
Before applying for a Q2C grant, applicants should carefully review the request for proposals and application materials. These are available on the "Grants" page of the Q2C website, www.q2cpartnership.org. The website also includes information on the Quabbin-to-Cardigan region and conservation plan, maps, a list of towns in the region, etc.
Projects must be located in the following towns to be eligible to apply for funding: IN NEW HAMPSHIRE: Acworth, Alexandria, Alstead, Andover, Antrim, Bennington, Bradford, Bridgewater, Bristol, Canaan, Chesterfield, Claremont, Danbury, Deering, Dorchester, Dublin, Enfield, Fitzwilliam, Francestown, Franklin, Gilsum, Goshen, Grafton, Grantham, Greenfield, Groton, Hancock, Hanover, Harrisville, Hebron, Henniker, Hill, Hillsborough, Hinsdale, Hopkinton, Jaffrey, Keene, Lebanon, Lempster, Lyme, Lyndeborough, Marlborough, Marlow, Nelson, Newbury, New Ipswich, New London, Newport, Orange, Orford, Peterborough, Plainfield, Plymouth, Richmond, Rindge, Roxbury, Rumney, Salisbury, Sharon, Springfield, Stoddard, Sullivan, Sunapee, Surry, Sutton, Swanzey, Temple, Troy, Unity, Warner, Washington, Weare, Webster, Wentworth, Wilmot, Wilton, Winchester, Windsor. IN MASSACHUSETTS: Ashburnham, Athol, Barre, Erving, Gardner, Hardwick, Hubbardston, Leverett, Montague, New Salem, Northfield, Orange, Pelham, Petersham, Phillipston, Royalston, Shutesbury, Templeton, Warwick, Wendell, Westminster, Winchendon.

Home Pakistan Sports Football returns to Pakistan – PPF Cup
Football returns to Pakistan – PPF Cup
Football is finally coming to Pakistan after eight years.
The court-appointed Pakistan Football Federation (PFF) administrator retired Justice Asad Munir, on Tuesday announced to hold the PPF Cup with tentative dates set from January 15 to February 5 next year.
In-fighting in the PPF has seen no domestic football action in the country since the National Challenge Cup in April, although the holding of the PPF Cup might add to the long-running saga that has afflicted the game in the country.
With the PPF heading into its presidential elections in June, the country's football governing body split into two factions after claims of incumbent president Faisal Saleh Hayat tampering with the constitution to keep himself in the power.
It led to the Lahore High Court (LHC) intervening and calling for a stay on the polls but the Hayat faction went ahead with the elections.
The court subsequently issued a contempt notice to Hayat while appointing Munir as an administrator until the issue is resolved.
And while world's football governing body FIFA has tasked Hayat to correct the constitution and hold fresh polls within two years, the court has said any football activity in the country can only be carried out by Munir.
It might also bring FIFA versus the court and a subsequent ban but many believe that FIFA's original decision of giving Hayat the mandate for two years after disputed elections has added to the conflict.
"FIFA should've taken a smarter decision," Jerome Champagne, a presidential contender in the scandal-hit world football governing body's February election, said in October.
Another presidential contender who was subsequently disqualified later, David Nakhid, told that FIFA should've "installed a normalisation committee".
Nevertheless, the PPF administrator said in a news release: "This mega event would be a step in the right direction for the revival and promotion of football in the country."
Munir has called up thirty departmental teams to participate in the event which will be held across Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad.
And while FIFA might show some reservations over the court-appointed administrator — which it doesn't recognise and terms as third party/government interference — holding the event, coaches and officials of the country's top teams welcomed the event as a "fantastic step".
"This is something that Pakistan football needed at this point in time," Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) manager Ayaz Butt, whose side won the Challenge Cup in April, said on Tuesday.
"It is a fantastic step by the administrator to hold the event since football has been losing out in the recent PPF tussle. We're treating the tournament as the Challenge Cup and will participate with the aim of winning it."
The PPF crisis has seen no Pakistan Premier Football League (PPFL) this season and the Hayat faction's refusal to work with the administrator saw the national team miss out on participation in the SAFF Suzuki Cup which is underway in India.
"Huge appreciation for administrator as the tournament will bring football back on the grounds," National Bank of Pakistan (NBP) head-coach Nasir Ismail said on Tuesday.
"The tournament will prevent many departments from closing down their football teams."
PPFL champions K-Electric, meanwhile, will be eyeing the event as useful preparation ahead of their AFC Cup playoff against Bahrain's Al-Hidd on February 9.
"We needed good practice ahead of the playoff," said K-Electric head-coach Hasan Baloch, whose side are aiming to be the first team from the country to reach the group stage of continent's second-tier club competition. "And the PPF Cup will be ideal for us."

Boating (magazine)
Mikrokosmos (Bartók)
Boating is the leisurely activity of travelling by boat, or the recreational use of a boat whether powerboats, sailboats, or man-powered vessels (such as rowing and paddle boats), focused on the travel itself, as well as sports activities, such as fishing or waterskiing. It is a popular activity, and there are millions of boaters worldwide.
Recreational boats (sometimes called pleasure craft, especially for less sporting activities) fall into several broad categories, and additional subcategories. Broad categories include dinghies (generally under 16 feet (5 m) powered by sail, small engines, or muscle power), paddlesports boats (kayaks, rowing shells, canoes), runabouts (15–25 feet (5–8 m) powerboats with either outboard, sterndrive, or inboard engines), daysailers (14–25 feet (4–8 m) sailboats, frequently with a small auxiliary engine), cruisers (25–65 feet (8–20 m) powerboats with cabins), and cruising and racing sailboats (25–65 feet (8–20 m) sailboats with auxiliary engines).

Béla Bartók's Mikrokosmos (German for Microcosm) Sz. 107, BB 105 consists of 153 progressive piano pieces in six volumes written between 1926 and 1939. The individual pieces progress from very easy and simple beginner études to very difficult advanced technical displays, and are used in modern piano lessons and education. In total, according to Bartók, the piece "appears as a synthesis of all the musical and technical problems which were treated and in some cases only partially solved in the previous piano works." Volumes one and two are dedicated to his son Péter, while volumes five and six are intended as professionally performable concert pieces. Bartók also indicated that these pieces could also be played on other instruments; Huguette Dreyfus for example has recorded pieces from Books 3 through 6 on the harpsichord.
In 1940, shortly before they emigrated to the United States, he arranged seven of the pieces for two pianos, to provide additional repertoire for himself and his wife Ditta Pásztory-Bartók to play.

The Legend of Dolphin: A Lens Between Worlds
Napisane przez MayImilae, JMC47 dnia 2 maja 2018
/ Ostatnia aktualizacja w dniu 3 maja 2018 / Krótki link / Wątek na forum
Chapter 1: The Will of the Old Gods¶
Within the Kingdom of Dolphin, a legend has been passed from generation to generation. While many of the facts have long turned to myth, fragments of this tale are echoed to this day.
This tale began way back in the ancient times known as "2003" when the Old Gods sought to create a wondrous tool that would allow denizens of the PC realm to peer into that of the GameCube dimension. Behind the iron curtain of closed source they toiled away on the foundation that would become "Dolphin Emulator."
A year later, their tool was released to the masses in an experimental state. Its powers were limited, but it showed great potential and a small group of followers used it to see their favorite games in a new light.
In order to wield this powerful tool, a mighty tome with instructions and settings would need to be written. Without such a thing, only the mightiest of sages would be able to wield the magic lens that could peer into other realms.
For this task, the Old Gods prayed upon the altar of wxWidgets. For their tribute, it bestowed upon them an elaborate tome that would hold all of the secrets necessary to wield the magic lens. This tome became known as DolphinWX. Alongside this tome, Dolphin was able to grow to unimaginable strength! When the Old Gods opened up Dolphin to all architects in 2008, it did not take it long to sprawl out into a gigantic kingdom filled with followers. Part of its success was that DolphinWX allowed followers of all skill levels to control the mighty lens that could see into other dimensions.
Chapter 2: An Influx of Power: The Open Source Era Marches On¶
As the years marched on, Dolphin's abilities grew even greater. Every day followers could look forward to a clearer lens that would allow them to peer into the GameCube dimension with even greater clarity. This power, while wondrous, came at a cost - Dolphin was becoming increasingly complicated and more difficult to wield. Amateur dimensional observers would often have to fall to documentation left by those with greater knowledge. And even when handled by a veteran, some of Dolphin's behaviors were erratic.
DolphinWX acted as a stabilizing force among this, with a compendium of information and notes added to allow those peering into other dimensions to have a pleasant experience. Even as Dolphin grew more complicated, the tome was able to expand and grow as new passages were written and spells were added.
Together with the Old Gods, these architects brought Dolphin into a new era of progress that allowed it to transcend generations. Rather than just the GameCube dimension, followers could now access the motion heavy Wii dimension! With a slew of new worlds at the fingertips of all, Dolphin entered its first golden age.
These robust additions made Dolphin more useful and more powerful, but it put an incredible strain on wxWidgets it was stretched to fit Dolphin's growing needs. Dolphin had grown far beyond what DolphinWX was originally designed to handle and what it had become were two very different things. The worlds that Dolphin could peer into grew from hundreds to thousands! It was no longer a curiosity scoffed at by the others that surveyed dimensions, but an equal that they must respect.
In exchange for this great power, wxWidgets crept deeper and deeper into Dolphin, fusing itself deep within its core. Limitations were worked around and the golden age pressed onward unhindered. But, unless one was a wizard that could wield Dolphin blindly, all relied upon DolphinWX. In a sense, wxWidgets was no longer just a servant of Dolphin, it was an integral part of its being.
Chapter 3: The Dark Prophecy¶
Among the architects of the project, there were those that were more than mere contributors. They were sages that held great power: the very power to morph and alter Dolphin directly.
One of these sages closely watched the way Dolphin was progressing. While all signs pointed toward a bright future, this one instead foresaw a great calamity. Through the looking glass, they wondered if perhaps Dolphin were relying too much on its faithful servant. For all that wxWidgets did well, it was an aging beast. Dolphin's needs had grown over the years, and while there was much success molding DolphinWX in the past, it was reaching its limits. The stars they read foretold a story in which Dolphin would become a slave to wxWidgets, and if it could not overcome this trial, it may be destroyed by it.
The sage dove through the project and looked in despair. Throughout Dolphin he could see the tendrils of wxWidgets limitations hampering parts of Dolphin that it never should have reached! But, what choice was there but to simply watch on? Without wxWidgets, Dolphin's followers would have no way to wield it.
This sage and many architects realized the threat wxWidgets posed. They vowed to create a weapon so great, that it could cleanly part Dolphin from wxWidgets, without isolating followers from their worship of Dolphin.
Their plan was simple: use modern alchemy to create a more modern way to wield Dolphin. Deep within the confines of the Kingdom, they worked tirelessly to forge a tome within a new runic manuscript. Within inner circles rumors swirled around power known as "Qt".
While several sages and architects had minor successes toward completing this new tome, DolphinWX showed no signs of weakness toward it. It was clear to separate Dolphin from wxWidgets would be an incredible effort, but very few architects saw the need. For all of its flaws, DolphinWX did everything they wanted. The architects working on Qt struggled under the burden and began to despair, even fighting amongst themselves. Slowly, one by one, they fell away.
Their mighty efforts acted only as a reminder of the insumountable power that wxWidgets held upon the Kingdom.
Chapter 4: The Darkness That Came to Pass¶
With the fifth rebirth of Dolphin a great success, Dolphin's golden age extended into a new era. It seemed as though it would never end, as more architects and sages kept perfecting the ways it could peer into worlds. Those that had traveled from the GameCube dimension to the Dolphin Kingdom even remarked that when peering through the lens, it felt like they were back home.
But behind the glory, the prophesy foretold years ago was slowly coming to fruition. DolphinWX struggled under the weight of its past. The architects kept trying to heal it and morph it as they always had, but the cantankerous old beast refused them at every turn. It was taking more and more alchemy to hold it together, and it cracked and bled with every shift. It was clear that DolphinWX was now a monolithic burden.
Many valient architects dove into the problem, and much progress was made to heal the old monster, but all the repairs left it frail. And if it were to fall, so would Dolphin alongside it. In order to preserve the status quo, most architects did anything they could to minimize their interactions with wxWidgets, some going so far to hide their options away from the ancient behemoth where most followers feared to go.
With the tome they needed to free Dolphin from wxWidgets still incomplete, all the architects could do was try to keep it placated as long as they could.
Chapter 5: The Legendary Hero¶
Whenever a great evil had threatened Dolphin in the past, a hero always rose to oppose it. When the Metafortress clan attempted to wall off their worlds from those attempting to peer in, a spy snuck within their walls and brought back their most holy of secrets. When the Disney Trio of Destruction threatened to destroy their own worlds, two heroes fought for years to defeat their three headed monster with both accuracy and cunning. Dolphin's history is filled with mighty foes and fearsome battles. No one will forget The Great Wars of HLE audio, the worlds ravaged with the zFreeze Plague, or even the world with the terrifying Dynamic Block Address Translation curse. Each time all hoped seemed to be lost, a hero rose at the darkest hour.
Yet, though many had opposed wxWidgets, no one had managed to break its hold on Dolphin. It seems that the prophecy of Dolphin's doom was inescapable.
Then a new architect suddenly appeared, armed with nothing more than a green hat and pointy ears. In his eyes was a determination to spare Dolphin from its likely fate. He knew his odds, and he knew the battle may consume him, yet spycrab0 took it upon himself to fight against the mighty DolphinWX. He openly opposed the monstrosity it had become and took it upon himself to complete the tome that had been designed many years ago to defeat it.
What made DolphinQt so necessary was that this tome was written in a more modern manner and had the flexibility Dolphin needed. Yet it was incomplete. In order to find the missing pieces, spycrab0 would need to set out on a journey that would lead him all across the Kingdom that Dolphin became. Throughout his travels, he faced many trials, some that were last unearthed when the Old Gods were still writing DolphinWX.
The Labyrinth of The Twilight Processes
Lost City of the Skyward Sourcecode
Ever Changing Walls of the Graphics Configuration Page
The Faraway Fortresses of the Netplay Menus
The Invisible Realm of the Disc Exploration Page
The Haunted Bikeshed
All of these trials and more helped bring power to Qt, and it became a force that wxWidgets would have to respect and fear. But, despite his successes, spycrab0 was pushed to the brink. The battle was ravenous and DolphinWX mocked him endlessly. Yet he never gave up. Even in his darkest of moments, he traveled across the land, helping those in need by adding their requests to DolphinQt.
Slowly, he gained support from the other architects of Dolphin. While there was much love for DolphinWX and all it had done for the project, they realized that in this corrupted state it was dangerous to the longevity of the project. The seeds of stagnation had grown into twisted labyrinths that few developers were willing to tread.
Chapter 6: The Climactic Clash at the Debug Stronghold¶
With all of the trials of the standard tome completed, one final trial emerged from within the deep recesses of DolphinWX. This trial dwarfed everything before it - it was a second tome used only by developers! By using special commands, DolphinWX could be morphed into a more complicated tome that allowed the very manipulation and analysis of the worlds it peered into. Despite being used by only the elite, it was something that DolphinQt needed to be able to do to truly free Dolphin from wxWidgets.
Spycrab0 did his best to start conquering this gigantic maze, but many of the trials and mysteries within it were foreign to even him. He found himself lost in the labyrinthian halls long abandoned, long forgotten. It appeared as though wxWidgets had claimed yet another who dared defy it.
As DolphinWX prepared the final blow, a beam of light seared across through the halls. In the darkest hour, the architects and sages united around spycrab0's cause, and joined him to solve the mystery of the labyrinth. Some of the architects were more familiar with the twists of this advanced tome and assisted spycrab0 in unraveling their secrets. Others assisted with reading through the tome to see if the new spells worked their magic as needed. Better yet, a few brave architects even assisted with brewing their own spells to add to the mighty collection.
Chapter 7: The Mirrored Tomes¶
With the Advanced Tome progressing at a decent pace, spycrab0 began to wonder if the tool was now powerful enough to execute their grand plan. The DolphinQt Tome was powerful and could control Dolphin with the greatest of ease, yet, even when offered the option, most followers were more than happy to stick with the older tome. As such, DolphinWX retained its grip on most of the followers. Seeing this, the sages knew they could not outright exorcise DolphinWX without instilling a great panic across the kingdom. So they sought to first weaken its hold.
But this was something that Spycrab0 and the architects had planned for. Thanks to the failures of the past, he very carefully wrote the DolphinQt tome in a very specific way. While deep within its core it was more flexible and powerful than DolphinWX, to the normal follower reading it, it would be exactly the same. The spells, the curses, and the hacks would all be right where they would be with DolphinWX! DolphinQt not only mirrored every feature of DolphinWX, it mirrored its very look and function as well! Together with the sages and architects, spycrab0 attempted to break DolphinWX's seal.
On the 21st day of April, 2018, one of those with the sagely power of merge rights activated DolphinQt. It would now be the default tome that users opened when attempting to control the mightly lens! DolphinWX was now pushed to the side, though still accessible in case of emergency. When the followers began to try this new tome, complaints and issues were shouted across the kingdom. Despite everyone's best efforts, the mighty Qt Tome was still fraught with minor errors and problems. In order to prevent a reversion, spycrab0 worked tirelessly to correct each flaw as they surfaced. With each bug fixed, DolphinQt only grew stronger, and the cries for help quickly quieted as the magic lens began to function normally under the Qt tome.
While the initial switch can be called a success, the fight is far from over. Until the day that DolphinWX is finally excised from the kingdom, there is always the threat that it will rise again. Together, we will continue our battle to create the greatest lens that peers across dimensions for today and the days yet come. And when the next threat rises, the prophesy only fortells but one thing: once again a new hero will rise to oppose it.
Epilogue: TL;DR¶
Now that story time is over, let's get into what's actually going on right now. Our Qt Graphical User Interface has finally advanced to the point that we have switched Qt to the default! It's basically feature complete and is totally usable for regular play, however there may be some missing functionality and little bugs here and there. This was a big change after all! Please report any issues you may find on our Forums or Issue Tracker. If you run into any UI issues and just don't want to deal with them, DolphinWX.exe has the old wxWidgets GUI in the latest builds. However, note that the wxWidgets GUI is now deprecated so it will not be seeing any new updates from now on, and will be removed before the next stable release.
Now that we are no longer being held back by crusty old GUI, we've already started getting some features we've wanted for a long time coming!
Auto Updater - Dolphin can now automatically update itself! There are three update tracks available: Development (every change), Beta (recommended, updates alongside Progress Report releases) or Stable (every stable release). Dolphin will update all files necessary, including DolphinWX.exe to the latest version (for as long as WX is still around).
Proper Search Functionality for the Gamelist - If you have a gigantic gamelist, you can now use the search function to narrow down the games.
Automatic Game List Updating - You no longer need to press "refresh" after dumping a new game! The Game List will just detect it and update itself on the fly!
Much More Flexible Windowing System - Resize multiple windows, swap between configuration windows without having to close the previous, Toolbar can be repositioned, Gridview for the Game List, Resizeable and Reorderable columns in the Game List, and more!
Better HiDPI support
Improved Cheat Search
Adding Gecko Codes in the UI
Improved Memory Card Manager
There will be some growing pains, but we are only just beginning to see the payoff for the tons of work the move to Qt has been! Stay tuned!
As a final note, we'd like to thank everyone who contributed to the Qt GUI over the years to help make this possible. It's been a project we've seen bouncing around since before the blog existed, and without past efforts, it's very unlikely the GUI (or this article) would have ever happened!

CIS Department Talk - Thursday, March 30
The Department of Computer & Information Science & The Society of Computer Science Present:
Speaker: Dr. Oscar H. Ibarra
Topic: Computational Complexity Issues in Membrane Computing
Date: Thursday, March 30, 2006 at 2:30pm
Place: John Mulcahy Hall 403, Rose Hill Campus
Membrane computing (MC) is a recent branch of molecular computing that aims to develop models and paradigms that are motivated by cell biology. MC identifies an unconventional computing model, namely a P system, which abstracts from the way living cells process chemical compounds in their compartmental structure. Thus, regions defined by a membrane structure contain multisets of objects that evolve according to specified rules. The objects can be represented as symbols or strings of symbols. By using the rules in a nondeterministic (deterministic) maximally parallel manner, transitions between the system configurations can be obtained. A sequence of transitions is a computation of how the system is evolving. Various ways of controlling the transfer of objects from a region to another and applying the rules, as well as possibilities to dissolve, divide or create membranes have been studied. P systems have a great potential for implementing massively concurrent systems in an efficient way that would allow us to solve currently intractable problems once future bio-technology gives way to a practical bio-realization. We present recent results that answer some interesting and fundamental open questions in the field. These concern complexity issues such as universality versus nonuniversality, determinism versus nondeterminism, membrane and alphabet-size hierarchies, and various notions of parallelism.
Oscar H. Ibarra received his B.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of the Philippines and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees, also in Electrical Engineering, from the University of California, Berkeley. He is a Professor and past Chair of the Department of Computer Science at the University of California, Santa Barbara. Previously, he was with the faculties of UC Berkeley (1967-1969) and the University of Minnesota (1969-1990). His research interests include the design and analysis of algorithms, theory of computation, computational complexity, parallel computing, and formal verification.
Oscar was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship in 1984. He is a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), and the Minnesota Supercomputer Institute. In 2001, he received the IEEE Computer Society�s Harry M. Goode Memorial Award. He was presented an �Award of Distinction� in computer science by the Computing Society of the Philippines during the 6th International Symposium on Parallel Architectures, Algorithms, and Networks (I-SPAN 2002). He received the 2002 Philippine-American Academy of Science and Engineering Founder�s Lectureship Award in Engineering at the academy�s 21st Annual Meeting and Symposium in Solomons Island, Maryland. He was awarded an Invitation Fellowship for research by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science (JSPS) and visited the Japan Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (JAIST) in fall 2002. On the occasion of his 60th birthday, a workshop, Computer Science: From Theory to Practice, was held in Singapore in August 2002. The University of the Philippines Alumni Association (UPAA) presented him a distinguished alumnus award as the 2004 Outstanding Professional in the field of Mathematics, Statistics, and Computer Science. He was awarded the first P Prize in Membrane Computing in 2003. He was recently elected a member of the European Academy of Sciences (EAS). He is listed in the Institute for Scientific Information (ISI) database of 230 Highly Cited Researchers in Computer Science.

I just wanted to point out this Cory Doctorow blog entry which points to his speech at toorcon. This isn't brand new (post is from Oct 6, 2006), but I only just found it, and figured others may not have seen it yet. Link directly to the video here.
The short story is that it seems Cory is the new spokesperson for anti-DRM causes put forth by the EFF, FSF and others (as evidenced by his new USC course, and several of his speeches I've seen). So far, he's my favorite one. He'll also be giving a keynote at LISA06 in DC in a few weeks.

Q: WPF .Net 4.0 Datagrid, cascading comboboxes not cascading on cell update, only after row update I'm new to WPF and I'm finding that the WPF .Net 4.0 Datagrid doesn't appear to handling cascading comboboxes. Only after focus is removed from a row do the cells populate correctly with the right data for selection boxes. I can actually see the debug points being hit after focus on the row is lost but not when focus from a cell is lost.
This type of behavior doesn't appear to be the case with the former WPF toolkit Datagrid where everything is as expected.
The obvious solution here is to go with the WPF toolkit, yet this is a new project in .Net 4.0 so doesn't make sense to go backwards (perhaps I'll reconsider with this issue). It's also my understanding that the WPF toolkit has it's own share of defects and that would require me to learn and work around as those well.
I've pretty much scoured a number of resources on the web and haven't had much luck. One reoccurring theme seems to be that the cells aren't a part of the visual tree which is creating the situation (not sure if that valid or not).
Any help on event's I may have missed or working samples are much appreciated.

A: It always amazes me how one can spend so much time researching an issue only to ask the question to the community and then find an answer within 60 minutes. So being new to WPF certainly has its fair share of lumps to take.
Apparently it's as simple as setting the UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged on the binding of the selected item.
From Microsoft:

Bindings in DataGrid's editing templates normally get their UpdateSourceTrigger set to Explicit, so that source properties are not updated until the user commits the row. You can override this by setting UpdateSourceTrigger=PropertyChanged on the binding for ComboBox.SelectedItem."

Hopefully someone other than myself will find this useful.

A: you have to fix  your syntax error in registerControllers.js line 33

A: Without your code it's difficult to say. There is likely an error at your controller call. Check your quotes, maybe you put two quotes like this :
ng-controller=""mycontroller" <!-- error -->

or
ng-controller='my_controller" <!-- error -->

or simply a random character you may have written inadvertently on a random location of your file. In that case, and at the condition you developed your project using a version control system (git, svn) you can display your recent modification since your last commit by doing the command git(or svn) diff at the root of your project.

A: You can see error details with running your project

Orange slimy serpent starfish, Ophiomyxra flaccida, sometimes called tiger stars because of their orange and white-banded legs, are an attractive and somewhat uncommon serpent star found in Florida and the Caribbean. These are the smooth skinned serpent stars, often called slimy serpents because their "skin" surface is slick or slimy feeling. They don't actually release any slime, so don't be put off by the name. The nano size is up to 2 inches in leg length.
Like most serpent stars, they like to spend the daylight hours tucked under rocks, but in an aquarium they will quickly come scurrying out when food is placed in the tank. Also like most starfish, they are scavengers so they will not eat your corals or harm most tank mates. They are primarily orange with white bands on their legs. When full grown, the body of these starfish will be about a 0.5 inches in diameter, and the legs will be about 2.5 inches long . Often the larger specimens will lose the banding on their legs. They will do well in any reef tank, nano reef tank, or refugium.
These starfish seem to get along well with other serpent and brittle stars and in the wild are often found together under the same rock. This bright orange color phase is very uncommon. There may be other colors available such as green and white, and yellow and white, so if you want something different email us and ask what's available.
Ordered a bunch of different gorgonians from these guys, and they arrived in great health. So nice of them to include a freebie as well! Will definitely be ordering more gorgs from them in the future. Thanks again!

If there's better vocabulary, forgive me.
If you were required to ignore variance as risk, how would you quantify non-fundamental risk?
Losses are just what they are, losses. You return tomorrow to play again. But bankruptcy means game over, you are done. Thus such event is to be avoided at all cost.
Long-term, equities exhibit positive drift and have outperformed other competing asset classes. However, the path in between can lead any manager, investor, or trader to bankruptcy. Volatility and draw downs can easily bring down any portfolio no matter how little it is leveraged.
Past performance ironically is often our best predictor of future performance. However, if the conditions that define performance are altered or adjusted to such extent that the prediction stands on shaky grounds then all bets are off. We have entered into an environment that is unprecedented (inability to service government debt without incurring huge amounts of new debt on a global scale; consumers with empty pockets unless they borrow by incurring liabilities in the form of HELs, mortgage debt, credit card debt; a new emerging super power which has not yet shown its true face,...). Point being, there is only 1 or 2 companies remaining in the Dow30 of those that comprised the index a century ago. Look at the S&P500 members 50 years ago and count how many of those companies are still in business today. We are entering uncharted territory and there is no guarantee that any particular asset class will outperform. There is not even a guarantee that inflation will cause damage. Hyper inflation generally went in hand with lose monetary policy (check), a great business environment with high capital expenditures (no), wage growth (no), and consumer price inflation (no but potentially yes). I do not think history will repeat itself or prevail. Thus, more care and respect for risk should be in order.
I want to protect my assets at all cost, any time, and always put priority on capital preservation over engaging in high risk-high payoff type of trades. I consider myself an opportunist. I have no problem (ideally) sitting on my hands for weeks and not putting capital at risk while searching for the trade that gives me a clear edge. What is the point of exposing myself to potentially catastrophic events over prolonged periods of time if I can wait and enter a trade when probabilities favor such position the most?
I think Peter Lynch greatly idealized his investment approach. He put in more research and care than anyone else but reading his book and comments it sometimes sounds like he is fine with prolonged draw-downs because he believes he bought something of value. Selling tops and buying bottoms has so far never worked out, nor have I seen academic papers that would suggest such approach is profitable, unless you have so deep pockets or are a public figure that you can either move the market yourself or entice others (Ackman, Icahn, ...) to join your position. Trading against momentum is a losing proposition and I am sure that is not what Lynch advocated. But many self-proclaimed value investors interpret his wisdom in exactly this way.
I finally do not agree with your statement that value investors ignore risk. They do not and should not ignore risk (whether you call it variance risk or anything else does not matter). I simply have not come across a single successful trader or portfolio manager or investor who took the luxury to ignore risk (draw downs, return variations, ...). The smartest and at the same time most successful traders are not the ones who spot the best opportunities but the ones who exhibit the balance between being fearful and vigilant about exposing themselves beyond stringent risk limits and being aggressive and forceful when opportunities of high risk-return value present themselves.
