[R6RS] my notes on today's conference call (26 April 2006)

William D Clinger will at ccs.neu.edu
Wed Apr 26 14:22:46 EDT 2006

Conference call April 26 2006 12:45pm
All present by about 12:46pm:
Kent, Matthew, Will, Anton, Mike

0. finalize agenda (1 minute)
    new agenda items:
        fold as possible addition
        exception issue

1. action items from 4/19/2006 (5 minutes)
   - withdraw Unicode SRFI (Matthew)
        not done yet
   - submit and (after comments) publish new Arithmetic SRFI (Will)
        committed but no comments yet
   - post note on syntax-case opacity issues (Kent)
        not done yet
   - update syntax-case SRFI, with reference implementation (Kent)
        not done yet
   - continue refining core/language split proposal (Anton)
        not done yet, in process
   - annoy people into commenting on proposed condition hierarchy (Will)
        done, but note was insufficiently annoying
   - send email proposing library modifications to allow subsetting
     supersetting, defining new libraries, and to allow for lexical syntax
     extensions or future changes (Anton)
        sent, no comments yet
   - post omnibus list of votes on outstanding issues (Kent)
   - post symbol-based enumeration proposal (Will)

2. reminder: omnibus vote list (2 minutes)
    votes due early next week
    goal is to get noncontroversial things out of way
    post votes to public list

3. arithmetic srfi changes (10 minutes)
    fixnum-specific and flonum-specific operations
    fixnum+ performs arithmetic on two's complement integers mod 2^N
    fx+ raises an exception rather than return an answer that might
        depend on the fixnum precision
    bitwise and shift operations
        not entirely consistent with SRFI 60,
            but the names are different so no outright conflict
    some shift operations accept both positive and negative shifts,
        but left-shifting and right-shifting versions that require
        non-negative shift arguments are also provided

4. procedures that accept finite set of values (10 minutes)
    issue started out as symbols vs enumerated values,
        e.g. when specifying endian-ness
    Will and Anton prefer using symbols
    but we still need sets for opening files
    so we still need the set part of Mike's proposal

5. formatted output (10 minutes)
    embarrassing not have formatted output
    no existing proposal that can be taken as is
    would be a little work to do it
    could be a SRFI, and considered for R7RS

6. void versus unspecific (5 minutes)
    purpose: allows portable code to recognize values that don't
        need to be printed
    related to whether we want set!, set-car!, etc to return:
        any unspecified value, as in R5RS
        some specific unspecified value, e.g. #!unspecific
        0 values
    returning 0 values might seem awkward for A-normal form,
        but A-normal form already has this problem with calls
        to unknown procedures; so long as implementations are
        allowed to coerce 0 or more than 1 return value into
        a single return value, A-normal form will still work

exception issue
    We have agreed to require exceptions in certain situations,
        such as illegal lexical syntax, but we shouldn't go so
        far in that direction as to disallow all extensions.
    In particular, we could allow implementations to read
        specific kinds of illegal external representations
        without raising an exception.  For example, we could
        say that #!<symbol>, where <symbol> is the external
        representation of a symbol, should raise a &lexical
        exception but is not required to do so.
    We could even suggest that implementations define some
        #! syntax that identifies the implementation, e.g.
        #!larceny or #!scheme48.  Programmers could place
        that syntax at the beginning of a file to indicate
        that the file uses implementation-specific extensions
        to the lexical syntax of Scheme.  The implementation
        named by the syntax could then read the file with all
        of its lexical extensions enabled, but other systems
        should raise a &lexical exception when reading the file.
    General agreement on the above.
    Should procedures be allowed to take non-standard args
        or extra args?  In other words, must (< 4 3 'a) and
        (memq 'a '(a b . d)) raise exceptions?
    We have to decide this for every procedure.  Right now,
        the proposal says (< 4 3 'a) *must* raise a &type
        exception, but (memq 'a '(a b . d)) *should* raise
        a &list exception.

7. adjourned about 1:45pm

Secret Agent "X" #6 Audiobook
Hand of Horror
by Emile C. Tepperman writing as Brant House
Read by Milton Bagby
A nameless mystery man with a wartime past, backed by a shadowy group of powerful philanthropists, Secret Agent “X” took on the toughest assignments of the dirty thirties. Operating out of the half-haunted Montgomery Mansion, “X” was also known as the Man of a Thousand Faces. A past master of disguise, he infiltrated the Underworld to crush crime in all of its hideous manifestations.
A metropolis writhed in the clutch of horror's hand. The mightiest of the mighty fled in stark terror before its groping fiendish fingers. And its wake was a trail of macabre milestones, marking the way with bloated dead. One man—alone, unaided—followed in that awesome wake. He was that enigma of enigmas, the Man of a Thousand Faces—Secret Agent “X.”
The enigma of enigmas, Secret Agent “X” has been deputized by a high government official to battle the darkest, most diabolical enemies of America before they sink their poisonous fangs into the nation’s healthy core. Faceless and unsung, “X” infiltrates these threats in a bewildering array of disguises.
Every hero needed something to distinguish himself from his rivals. The Shadow could blend into the shadows. Doc Savage was a superman. The Spider shot first and asked no questions later. Every one of them was a consummate quick-change artist. In that respect, “X” would be no different.

For Secret Agent “X”, editor Rose Wyn decided to pit him against villains who were maestros of unbridled horror. Melodrama was the rule of the day. But Secret Agent “X” plunged into maelstroms of raw bloodlust undreamed of by The Shadow and Doc Savage. His foes were truly depraved. Terrorists. Torturers. Extortionists. Kidnappers. Stranglers. Fiends. Arsonists. These were the types of torn-from-the-tabloids master criminals “X” hunted. It was grim fare.

Follow the Man of a Thousand Faces as he confronts the menace of Hand of Horror, ripped from the pages of Secret Agent “X” magazine, August 1934 and read with chilling intensity by Milton Bagby.

Milton Bagby is a veteran radio announcer and voiceover specialist who first turned to audiobooks in 2010. Since then, Milton has worked on over two dozen audiobook projects as a narrator or producer. Drawing upon years of stage acting and the occasional bit part in films, Milton uses his experience to create characters that stand out in the ear of the listener.

“I am very much aware that a perfect stranger is going to invest eight or ten hours listening to me tell a story. I do my best to give the listener an experience in which the characters in that story come alive and sound real.”

When not behind a microphone, Milton is a writer.  In addition to the well-received Rick Burkhart crime novels, Milton writes a line of 1950s style pulp stories, and is the author of dozens of magazine articles and two non-fiction books.  Milton and his wife live in Nashville.

Lucie Silvas

Lucie Silvas

Lucie Silvas (born Lucie Joanne Silverman, 4 September 1977, Kingston upon Thames, England) is a British singer-songwriter.2000–01In 2000, Silvas signed to EMI Records. In June 2000, she released her debut single, "It's Too Late", which peaked at #62 in the UK Singles Chart. An album, entitled Forget Me Not, was also planned for release but EMI terminated her contract after the poor reception of the single.In 2001, Chrysalis Records (an EMI subsidiary) contacted her, this time for songwriting. She signed a publishing contract and, despite being without a record label to release her music, she continued writing and had songs recorded and released by British artists including Sarah Whatmore, Will Young, Gareth Gates, Rachel Stevens and Liberty X. Several of Silvas' songs for other artists have become chart hits.2003–05: Breathe InIn 2003, Silvas recorded a duet with the Spanish singer Natalia called "This Time", and in 2004 she also wrote the first single off Natalia's third album, entitled "Sombras" (Shadows). The same year, Silvas also wrote "I'm Not Your Girlfriend" for the Spanish singer Cristie.In 2003, Silvas signed a recording contract of her own with Mercury Records. She recorded her second album, Breathe In, which was to become her official debut album in October 2004. Produced by Mike Peden, much of Breathe In was co-written with Judie Tzuke, for whom Silvas sang backing vocals for many years. BBC Radio 2 commissioned a radio show to track Silvas' development in the music industry, supporting her career, and adding her tracks to their playlist. The first single from the album, What You're Made of, entered the official UK charts at number 7, and the following week the album debuted and peaked at number 11 (returning to this position in early 2005). Following TV appearances on the Ivor Novello Elton John tribute show, and "All Time Greatest Love Songs" with Ronan Keating, Silvas released her second single from the album, "Breathe In", which debuted at number 6, her highest UK chart peak to date. Silvas then released further singles; "The Game Is Won" and "Don't Look Back" which peaked at numbers 38 and 34 respectively.Following the release of the "Breathe In" single in Britain, Silvas took her music to Europe, including Germany and the Netherlands, where she released a special Europe-only single, "Nothing Else Matters", a cover of the Metallica song. The Breathe In album was also re-released in the Netherlands as a special 2-disc edition, featuring a full live concert recorded there. She also re-recorded "What You're Made Of" for the Spanish and French markets, working with Antonio Orozco and Grégory Lemarchal respectively. A special re-recorded version of the song, featuring the Metropole Orchestra, was released as the fourth and final single from the album in the Netherlands.With Breathe In certified Platinum in the UK, Silvas embarked on her second UK tour starting in Brighton on 2 November 2005.2006–07: The Same SideSilvas's second album, The Same Side, was recorded in 2006. Produced by Danton Supple (who had produced Coldplay's X&Y album), it was released first in the Netherlands in October 2006. A duet with Marco Borsato, "Everytime I Think of You", was released as the first single in the Netherlands, charting at #35 on downloads only, and topping the Dutch Top 40 in the next 3 weeks, becoming her first Number 1 single. A DVD of The Same Side has also been released in the Netherlands."Last Year" was the first single from the album in the UK and Ireland, premiering on BBC Radio 2 in late August 2006, though it failed to chart. Following this setback, Mercury Records decided to postpone the UK release of the album, which had been scheduled for October 2006. A second single, "Sinking In", was released as a download only single on 5 March 2007 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, though this too failed to chart. The album was finally released in the UK on 12 March 2007, charting at #62 on the UK Albums Chart in its first week before falling out of the Top 100 the following week.2010–present: Letters to GhostsAfter The Same Side failed to impact on the charts, Silvas was subsequently dropped by her label. She has spent time working on new music in Nashville, Tennessee and New York, as well as in studios in the UK. Several demos have been recorded and posted to various sites on the internet such as Silvas' official Myspace page. In August 2009, Silvas revealed that she was writing with Australian singer Delta Goodrem, and has also co-written tracks for Katharine McPhee's album Unbroken. In September 2009, Silvas also told fans on Twitter she was working on getting new material out in 2010 and was also planning a European tour. In February 2010, Silvas spent some time in the studio with Nadine Coyle of Girls Aloud.As of February 2011, Silvas posted on Twitter and a new Facebook page content from her forthcoming album Letters to Ghosts. Tracks including "Happy", "Reset", "Smoke (Somebody Stop Me)" and "Roots" - the last of which was offered as a free download prior to the album's release through SoundCloud from April 2011. She has also supported Jamiroquai on their 2011 tour. On 8 June 2011, Silvas tweeted that she had finished recording her album.In late July 2011, Silvas worked on some new songs with Una Healy of The Saturdays according to tweets from each of them. Mollie King (also of The Saturdays) subsequently tweeted "So SO excited about a song @unahealy and @luciesilvas have just written! It's AMAZE! What a team they are!!! Xxxxx!". It was later announced that a song called "Last Call", written by Silvas, Healy and Chris Holmes had made The Saturdays' new album On Your Radar.As of 2012, Lucie has been making new music in Nashville, working on her new album. Videos have been uploaded on Facebook and Twitter. Release date is still down for 2013In early 2013, Silvas wrote songs for NBC's musical drama Smash. Her songs, including "Heart Shaped Wreckage", "Pretender", "Don't Let Me Know" and "Calling Out My Name", appear in Hit List, a staged concert based on the fictional musical created for that show's second season.

Klipsch All-Weather Loudspeakers:The Klipsch Reference All-Weather loudspeakers are two-way designs using a high performance bass driver for the low frequencies. A Tractrix Horn with a 90 x 90 coverage pattern attached to a 1 diameter compression driver for clean and efficient reproduction of the high and midrange frequencies. Klipsch Reference All-Weather loudspeakers are constructed from UV-resistant glass-reinforced polypropylene and are remarkably durable against the elements. They can be painted to match any trim or siding color. Placement:The Reference All-Weather models are perfect for patios decks swimming pools porches or any other place where exposure to the elements makes conventional loudspeaker usage unsuitable. To achieve the best performance from your speakers place the pair on the same wall facing the listening area and space them six to fifteen feet apart. For a higher quality stereo image angle down or toe in the speakers toward the primary listening area. This is especially important in installations that place the speakers well above ear level. Some additional bass will result if you place the speakers in a corner or near a wall. This provides greater bass coupling due to the additional reflected energy from the walls. Wall Mounting:Included with your speakers are "C" style mounting brackets constructed of weatherresistant powder-coated zinc. These brackets attach to the speaker with the supplied low profile knobs that thread onto the top and bottom studs protruding from the cabinet. This allows the speaker to be angled to the left or right when mounted vertically or up and down when mounted horizontally. You may also use an optional wall or ceiling mount that will fit the provided 3/8 16 inserts. For more information please consult your owner's manual.

Fantasy Football is Not Just a Game, For Many a Way of Life

New York Jets Fireman Ed
Debby Wong-USA TODAY Sports

I was once a member of a Fantasy Football draft in which a GM took Byron Leftwich with his first pick — which incidentally was the first over all selection — and then turned around and followed up his stellar first round selection with Mike Vanderjagt in the second round. I can’t make this stuff up. As my granddad would say, “if I’m lying I’m dying and I ain’t dead yet.”

I wanted to say something, actually should of said something but I didn’t. Oh, there was enough said after the draft and through out the season and actually every draft since. I’m pretty sure the infamous day will probably make its way in to his eulogy some day.

There was another draft in which one GM claimed, “if you can name this movie, I will serve you food and, er uh, beverages for the rest of the night.” The look on his face when I yelled out, “A Clock Work Orange!” was priceless. Needless to say, I enjoyed that evening particularly more than others.

Maybe the most memorable was a draft that took place well after midnight with the assistance of United States Army communication equipment with GMs in Panama, Columbia, Belize and Guatemala. Nothing, including down range deployment, gets in the way of Fantasy Football drafts.

The venues have been unique, the stories are legendary and the memories are priceless.  Many of us looked forward to Christmas as children and for many that excitement has been replaced by the anticipation of annual league drafts. Oh yeah, it’s that big, no over exaggeration here.

Fantasy Football has changed everything. It has changed the way in which we collectively watch football. I vaguely remember a time in which the stresses of Sunday revolved simply around a win or loss by a favorite NFL team.

Today, because of Fantasy Football we are no longer able to relax, instead GMs sit at the edge of their seats holding their collective breaths hoping — no, praying — that whatever team currently in the red zone will use one of his or her players to pass, run or catch a touchdown for their fantasy team.

The landscape of the game will never be the same.

It’s a national phenomenon. More than 30 million people participate from coast to coast. Productivity in the work space is jeopardized because of online queries about Fantasy Football. From September to December it is the dominant conversation piece of the company water coolers.

Fantasy Football has ascended from a game or pastime to a proverbial way of life. It identifies many folks. In public, legal names such as Bob, Joe and Chad are replaced with the nicknames of Tater, Liver Eaters, Booger and Window Lickers – still not making this stuff up – because of fantasy team names.

And so, here we stand once again on the threshold of another Fantasy Football season, it simply doesn’t get any better than this. May your dreams of championships be realized, your search for sleepers fulfilled and even if things don’t work out may your Toilet Bowls be clean.

Best of luck; it’s Fantasy Football 2013.

Jewish group wants Pope John XXIII declared

A Jewish group announced on Thursday that it was seeking to have Pope John XXIII recognised by the Yad Vashem Holocaust memorial in Israel as one of the ”righteous among the nations”.

In ceremonies at the Vatican mission to the United Nations in New York, a copy of a letter to Yad Vashem from the International Raoul Wallenberg Foundation was presented to Cardinal Angelo Sodano, Vatican secretary of state.

Samuel Sisso, Israeli consul general in New York, accepted the letter for transmittal to Yad Vashem. Tenembaum’s letter said the foundation was ”gathering information and preparing documents from many sources” to demonstrate the significance of John XXIII’s work on behalf of Jews when he was apostolic delegate to Turkey.

The foundation is also “asking the Vatican to provide us with additional primary sources” about his tenure in Turkey, the letter said.

Beyonce’s New Album Will Not Be Sold At Target

Beyonce’s New Album Will Not Be Sold At Target

Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Beyonce dropped a bomb on the world last Friday (Dec 13) when she released a full length, self titled, album-without a single ounce of promotion. The feedback has been enormous, but not everyone is joining in on the party.

Target has released a statement saying they will not be carrying Queen B’s cd.

“At Target we focus on offering our guests a wide assortment of physical CDs, and when a new album is available digitally before it is available physically, it impacts demand and sales projections,” Target spokesperson Erica Julkowski says in an interview with Billboard. “While there are many aspects that contribute to our approach and we have appreciated partnering with Beyonce in the past, we are primarily focused on offering CDs that will be available in a physical format at the same time as all other formats. At this time, Target will not be carrying Beyonce’s new self-titled album Beyonce.”

According to Billboard,  Target competitor Walmart happily plans on carrying physical copies of the CD.

“[Walmart is] happy to be able to carry her album and support all physical music,” Walmart spokesperson Sarah McKinney says to

Rasco :: The Dick Swanson Theory :: Pockets Linted
as reviewed by Steve 'Flash' Juon

It's altogether appropriate that when you visit the Pockets Linted website to see what information they have on Rasco you're confronted with the words history unknown. Rasco has always been an enigma in the West coast rap scene, hailing from the not-so-mean streets of San Mateo, California. In fact the so-called "King of the 'Burbs" John Brown from VH1's "White Rapper Show" probably has more in common with Rasco than anybody from California's hardest urban neighborhoods. His closest comrade would be Fresno's own Planet Asia, who besides sharing his penchant for non-hyphy rhymes also collaborates with him in the form of a group called Cali Agents. Above all else the one thing you can say for sure about Rasco is he has a history of challenging other rappers to exceed the norm and "The Dick Swanson Theory" is no exception. Peep "Lightin it Up" for example:

"Look, I expose your clique
Man you cats ain't as cold as this
Just as good as it's supposed to get
Hone your skills, you lookin for the wrong appeal
Check the file, respect the style
Let the bloodhounds loose, make 'em run for miles
{*barking*} Get your sound right, that don't even sound tight
Spittin the shit that only get your town hype
We do it worldwide, you should let your girl ride
Roll with us, too cold to bust"

Despite his unconventional approach to riding for the West coast, Rasco is a fixture of the underground scene in Cali, having hit the top of the Bay Area Hip-Hop Coalition charts and maintained a cult following despite bouncing from Stones Throw to Copasetik Recordings to his current home; further inspection reveals this is in fact Rasco's own imprint. Now how ruggedly independent do you have to be to not be happy at Stones Throw, one of the über labels of underground rap? Well take it from Rasco, unless you're doing it for delf you're getting "No Love":

"I give 'em nothin they can cling to
Like fastballs on the swing-through; aiyyo I didn't really mean to
Most have known I'm postin strong
'Til cats had to ask what the fuck is wrong
Fuck your song (damn!) Man your bars is weak
I'll be out givin scars to cheeks, hard to speak
Bring me the hardest beats, start settlin in
Watch Ras start wearin 'em thin"

Rasco is unapologetically self-confident, and carries that boldness into battle like a sturdy shield which protects him from the ills of Industry Rule #4,080. He has that in common with another rapper named Ras, and if you were thinking of him when you read the above verse perhaps you won't be surprised to hear that Rasco and Ras Kass collide and collabo' together on a track entitled "Making the Rounds":

Rasco: "We came to set niggaz up, you cats ain't really tough
Still spittin rhymes that just ain't real enough
Cups fillin up, late night at the spot
Around clock, still chasin the knot
This is, artillery just for arch enemies
Niggaz took shots and tried to get rid of me
Won't go willingly, dude you're not feelin me
We yank plugs to stop your auxillary"

Ras Kass: "We, G-O-A-D like 2-P-A-C's
School niggaz like PPA's, vis-a-vis
Either see me paid or see them strays
See DA's hatin niggaz like the CMA's
Where all day got niggaz kissin barrels like, PDA's
Pop open your chest like CD trays (blow!)
I'm hard on a hoe, need a ride or die bitch
Cause a thorn in the saddle ain't nuttin to ride with"

Now if you think you're seeing a pattern here it's not a coincidence - Rasco tends to spit half or more of the time criticizing other rappers, which could tend to become a underground rap cliche were it not for his infectious rich vocal tones and clever verbal interplay. Rasco also breaks out of the expectations he'd only roll with California's underground scene by bringing in New York's indie icon Aesop Rock to bless the haunted piano keys of "World's Collide." The two compliment each other remarkably well and one would hope after listening to it they do a full-length Cali Agents style album together. Other standout tracks on the album include the upbeat energetic "Pressures of Life," the Agents reunion track "Backdown," the chopped up soul of his quest for love on "Chances" and the question rap fans have been asking for years now - "Whatever Happened to the Game?"

What happened is artists like Rasco got relegated to the sidelines, languishing in obscurity while less talented MC's took the spotlight and the shine, constantly botching plays and costing their comrades future victories. With production by Marco Polo, Jake One and Oh No among others though, Rasco gets that classic sound that pounds your ears and takes this album from another tired complaint about ballers' flossing to a statement that's BALLIN' like Jim Jones in its own right, minus his level of hype. If you played this album for an unsuspecting head who didn't know Rasco, they'd probably be converted to a fan in a snap. The problem is, who out there is bumping Rasco? Buy this and burn a copy for your friends. No RapReviews.com is not advocating piracy, but once they understand the formula behind "The Dick Swanson Theory" they can do the math too and cop his next release. Hip-Hop has to build from the grassroots up and if you want the game to change, get off the sidelines and play your part.

T.O. Sports

The Toronto Raptors have undergone a complete transformation in order to once again contend in the NBA. After a lackluster season last year, the Raptors are hoping the addition of some new faces can lead them back into the playoffs, and hopefully contend for a championship. Recently, the NBA schedule was released, and based on that, I have compiled the 10 key moments for the upcoming season for the Raptors.

Bleacher Report

The Toronto Raptors have been one of the busiest teams in the NBA during this years offseason making a variety of moves. President and General Manager Bryan Colangelo has been a very busy man and given the Raptors a complete makeover thus far.

Bryan Colangelo started it all off when he dealt small forward Jason Kapono to the Philadelphia 76ers in exchange for power forward Reggie Evans. Kapono had begun to wear out his welcome in Toronto and he never lived up to the expectations that Colangelo had for him when Colangelo signed Kapono in 2007 and really didn’t fit on the Raptors.

AZ Central

Kevin O’Neill

You spent last season as an assistant with the Memphis Grizzlies. You’ve coached the Toronto Raptors and held other NBA jobs. Think you’ll miss the pro game?

"I love the NBA. To me, it was an absolute privilege coaching there. One of the harder things in college is getting over the losses. Since you only play 35 games, your grieving period is a lot longer. In the NBA, and I’ve said this before, your grieving period lasts until you get to the locker room after the game."

So at heart, are you a pro coach or college coach?

"I’m just a basketball coach."

The Sport Count

That’s the 27th of October. The 28th? A little less inspiring.

Unless you’re a Cavalier freak primed to get your rocks off to a Bron Bron explosion, this will be a serious clunker. Expect Chris Bosh and his lily-white band of Euroballers to look confused, and then be abused — on the boards, in the paint, anywhere that requires a serviceable big man. This will not be a good game for basketball fans north of the border; the inevitable beatdown an early taste of a season primed for mediocrity.

Third Quarter Collapse

Finally, both of Orlando’s visits to Toronto will be weekend matinees, as they were last season. Chris Sheridan says this time-slot will make the game a big draw in Turkey, the home country of former Magic forward Hedo Turkoglu, who signed with the Raptors this summer. Still, that doesn’t explain last year’s early tip-times.

The Modern Theophraste, Or The Rehabilitation of Pierre-Jacques Brillon

War to vices, not to the vicious

His first opus is very well written, but the next one happens to be more exciting. Indeed, though classified in categories such as Women, Ridicule, Of the Court, Of Gambling, etc., the portraits are here less confined to their subjects. The author’s note is another piece of wit. Brillon stepped away from his then deceased model by assuring that his book was not a book à clef, like La Bruyère’s. “I’ve declared war to vices,” he wrote, “not the vicious.” He claimed not to know the Court well enough to tell about real people’s stories – he nevertheless was quite acquainted with it, as proven by his chapter Of the Court: “To get cured from the lifestyle that once obsessed me like many others, I did not read La Bruyère’s portraits: the disgust of the courtisans convinced me more than any moral sentence. Lend an ear to those who live at the Court, they owe misery their talent of persuasion.” His portraits are quite dark – very grand siècle, indeed. Against ridicule, he wrote a few desperate lines: “Shall we hope for a change?” he asks. “Honestly, I don’t think so. Just in case, let’s write (À tout hasard, écrivons).”

Law & Provincial

Ridicule at Court was unforgivable. Nastiness was not. Brillon confessed in his own book that he was not free from ridicule himself – neither was he from nastiness. The portraits of the “provincials”, or countrymen, are so rude it is almost unbelievable. In France, we call “provincial” anyone living outside of Paris. Sometimes, some “provinciaux” feel like they are treated with contempt from Parisians – even today. They sure were by Brillon, who wrote: “A leopard never changes its spots, mostly if it was born in the middle of a field, or in a city surrounded by woods: such men are savages, a little bit less fierce than the real ones. I probably outrage the Provinciaux, who judge this portrait too mean, and swear not to read the next one. This is how I definitely identify barbarians. Let’s cut it short – and let’s not disrespect the inhabitants of Province; I almost wrote the inhabitants of the bush.” Mr. Brillon did not care about being boycotted in the bookshops of the country where only bad books were sold anyway. What is funny about these portraits is that, despite the magnificent style of their author, they are nowadays a paramount of ridicule.

Pierre-Jacques Brillon did not go any further with literature and focused on his Dictionnaire des Arrêts, ou la Jurisprudence universelle des Parlements de France, a judiciary book published in six in-folio volumes in 1727 – he was then over 50, and died 9 years later. “This compilation is the fruit of a learnt and hard-working man”, concluded FX de Feller in his Dictionnaire historique. It is a pity, as many of his portraits happen to be more entertaining than some of La Bruyère’s. An old and wise man, Mr. Brillon had then forgotten his ridicule literary pretensions but was probably considering his books with tenderness and resignation. As Arthur Rimbaud later said (or almost): One is not serious when... 25.

45% Think Deficit Should Be Reduced By Spending Cuts Alone

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

A plurality of voters continues to believe spending cuts alone are the best way to reduce the federal deficit. But even among those who favor a “balanced approach” of tax hikes and spending cuts instead, a sizable number want more emphasis on spending cuts.

Forty-five percent (45%) of Likely U.S. Voters think, generally speaking, that the long-term federal budget deficit should be reduced by cutting spending, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey. Only six percent (6%) feel the deficit should be reduced by raising taxes alone. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Win an IPad: Take the Rasmussen Challenge!

The survey of 1,000 Likely Voters was conducted on February 24-25, 2013 by Rasmussen Reports. The margin of sampling error is +/- 3 percentage points with a 95% level of confidence. Field work for all Rasmussen Reports surveys is conducted by Pulse Opinion Research, LLC. See methodology.

wish my line art was that clean lol, such a cool n cute character im jelly ;p would color if i knew how 2 use java haha xD

poketronex replied:  Dec 02, 2012

xDD Java is really simple, you just need to know a basic of how to use layers o v o Basically the lineart would be on top of the colour layer, everything under the lineart layer would stay under it, and it wouldn't colour out of the linesss / u v u)/

New York Yankees 1 0 0 1-0 W1
Toronto Blue Jays 1 0 0 1-0 W1
Boston Red Sox 0 1 1.0 0-1 L1 161
Tampa Bay Devil Rays 0 1 1.0 0-1 L1 161
Baltimore Orioles 0 2 1.5 0-2 L2 160

Twins 3, Orioles 2. The O’s dropped their second straight in Minnesota. One day after being bested by a Johan Santana, with less than his best stuff, Baltimore blew an early 2-0 lead and fell to a guy named Boof. Former Devil Ray Aubrey Huff had two hits for the second straight game and his second RBI.
  • Bernie Williams called manager Joe Torre and several of his teammates before the opening day match up with the Rays. Bernie insists that he is not retired but that he would not play for any team other than the Yankees in 2007. Williams declined a minor league contract offer from the Yankees before the season began.
  • The Red Sox send Josh Beckett to the mound against the Royals. Beckett won 16 in his first season with the Sox, but was considered a disappointment with 5.01 ERA. The Sox and Curt Schilling dropped the opener to Kansas City.
  • Toronto will go with AJ Burnett as they try to take two straight in Detroit. Burnett won 10 games in his first season in Toronto, but missed two months.

GRAVARC experiment set-up before integration in one of the LDC gondolas.A Spin Your Thesis! experiment, sponsored for students by the European Space Agency (ESA), has shown that carbon nanomaterials are built differently under conditions of hypergravity. These results are useful for understanding the synthesis of carbon nanostructures and the behaviour of gliding arc discharges.

The GRAVARC experiment is headed by two PhD students from Masaryk Univ., Czech Republic. It studies the behavior of a gliding arc electrical discharge under different levels of gravity.

The experiment was performed on the Large Diameter Centrifuge, located at ESA’s ESTEC facility in the Netherlands. The 8-m-wide centrifuge is capable of simulating anything up to 20 times the pull of Earth’s gravity.

In the GRAVARC apparatus, the gliding electrical arc is formed between two diverging electrodes. It starts at the smallest distance between the electrodes and glides along towards the wider part. When the maximum lengths of the gliding arc is reached, the discharge will be quenched and the cycle repeated. The purpose of the team’s experiment was to study the effect of gravity on the shape, intensity, colour and emission spectra of the discharge.

They also wanted to study the effect of the carbon nano material that was produced in the discharge. “This was totally curiosity-driven research,” says team member Jiri Sperka, “There has been a lot of research into electrical arcs but not so much into gliding arcs.”

They discovered that the arc glided faster in conditions of higher levels of gravity. Arcing can occur in technological systems such as those found on aeroplanes and spacecraft. Knowing the conditions that start the arc, and how it will develop once it has started could be a very important safety concern.

GRAVARC student operating their hypergravity experiment.Also, during launches, there is so much acceleration required to lift a spacecraft into orbit that different gravitational conditions prevail. Experiments such as GRAVARC can show how gliding electrical arcs behave in such situations.

The team is now working on computer models to describe the behavior of the gliding arc. This is a challenging task because the plasma from the arc mingles with the surrounding gas, creating a complex mixture.

The second part of the experiment was to study the nanostructures built in the gas surrounding the arc. This happens because the arc heats up the gas, turning it into a plasma in which electron particles are removed from the atoms. By embedding the electrodes in methane-rich gas this promotes the formation of carbon nanostructures.

Such methods are widespread in the synthetic production of carbon nanomaterials. The team investigated whether higher gravity affected the process. They found that there was a distinct change in the structures that were built at 1g , 6g and 15g. Both surface growth and volume growth were observed at the higher gravity levels.

The team has published these results in a paper in Materials Research Bulletin and are now incorporating them into their PhD theses.

“It was a very special opportunity to perform an experiment at such an amazing facility,” says Sperka.
