Responsibility isn't something people are born with. It's learned. It's learned by prioritizing, making tradeoffs, weighing the benefits, costs, and risks of alternative courses of action, and dealing with the consequences of one's decisions.
When an overprotective parent spoils their child by shielding them from hard lessons, or gives the child whatever it wants so the child will love them more, they fail to instill in the child a sense of responsibility. Instead they encumber it with a false sense of entitlement to whatever the child desires. Later, the child is faced with a rude awakening when thrust into a world where it has to compete with others who are accustomed to making hard choices and working for the things they desire.
Once a sense of entitlement is engrained in someone's belief system, it's difficult to overcome. Developing a sense of responsibility is counter to their conditioning, and they cannot easily grasp the notion that they are really not entitled to anything they haven't earned. When something doesn't come easily, instead of getting fired up with a sense of determination to work harder and make the necessary sacrifices to achieve their goal, they feel resentful that it isn't provided for them. Whatever nominal effort they put into it seems like it ought to be enough. They feel a deep sense of personal injustice that they can't have things that other people have, oblivious to the tradeoffs and sacrifices others have had to make to acquire those things.
In the real world, nobody is entitled to own a house. If you can't afford a house, the responsible thing to do is to work and save and sacrifice until you can afford to buy one. By encouraging people to buy houses they really can't afford, the government sets them up for failure later on when the house payments become a burden they cannot sustain. And when that time comes, the "homeowners" won't consider that, until their mortgage is paid in full, the house isn't actually theirs. Instead, they'll feel entitled to the house in which they're living, and deeply resentful of losing it.
A person who buys a house incurs a responsibility. If they're shielded from the full impact of the responsibility they're incurring, by making it easier than it would be (in a free market) for them to assume it, it gives them a false sense of security and makes the responsibility seem lighter than it is. That is not a wise thing to do. And the current economic crisis is a perfect illustration of that folly. Yet the government is going down the same path again, with the FHA taking on the role once played by AIG.
This is just one of many examples of the government fostering an entitlement mentality in its citizens. Perhaps, like the parent who spoils their child in an attempt to buy its love, politicians see this as a way to buy votes. But, like overprotective parents trying to make life easier for their precious dumplings, when government shields people from the onus of personal responsibility, it does not strengthen them; it weakens them. And it not only weakens the individual beneficiaries of the government's largesse, it weakens the entire economy, and the underlying moral fiber of our nation.
For years, our government has been actively encouraging people to become less and less self-reliant. By the same token, it has been making us more and more dependent on government. The flip side of dependency is control. The more dependent one is on another, the more control the other has over them. Perhaps the underlying motivation is not so innocent as politicians trying to buy their constituents' love. Perhaps it's far more insidious.
The current crisis in our nation is not just an economic crisis. It has far broader implications. The only way out of this crisis is to bring about a fundamental change. — Not the kind of change that accelerates the crisis, leading to ever more weakness, dependency, and state control, but a return to the once deeply-held values that made this country great: personal responsibility, individual sovereignty, and economic freedom.

iOS Instructions
ORcycle Basic Capabilities
ORcycle has 4 main screens: RECORD, TRIPS, REPORTS, and USER.
RECORD: this screen lets you (a) record a trip or (b) record a location with a crash, accident or safety problem. If you press the "Start Trip" button you start recording your trip. If you press the "Report" button then you will have two options: to report a "crash or near-miss" or to report a "safety issue".
TRIPS: this screen lets you see the trips that you have made and the related data. It is also possible to see each trip on the map. Each trip row also displays an icon associated to the trip purpose as well as information about the trip duration, distance traveled, and trip date and time.
REPORTS: this screen lets you see reports of crashes or safety issues that you have logged. It is also possible to see each report on the map and the associated data that you have provided for each report. Each trip row also displays an icon associated to the report type and the severity (in case of crashes) or urgency (in case of safety issues). Each icon has a color coding scheme: from red (highest possible severity or urgency) to blue (lowest severity or urgency).
USER: this screen let you provide data about yourself and your riding habits. These questions only have to be answered once. The first six questions are general questions about your bicycling habits and are required. The last seven questions are about your socio-demographic characteristics and are optional.
Recording a Trip
To record a trip, go to the RECORD screen and click on the "Start Trip". At the end of your TRIP click on the "Finish" button. At the end of each trip you will be asked some questions. Only the trip purpose and frequency questions are mandatory. The goal of the questions is to better understand where cyclists ride in Oregon, what factors influence their route choices, and how they evaluate their routes (see FAQs webpage). Your feedback will be valuable to understand user preferences.
After saving a trip, the app asks the user about the purpose and frequency the trip. To reduce user burden, if in the future the user repeats the same trip purpose using the same route there is no need to log the trip again. For example, if you commute everyday using the same route, it is only necessary to log your trip from home to work and separately your trip from work to home just once. The user does not need to keep logging the same trip purpose and route combination in the future unless there is a change in trip purpose, route, or infrastructure (e.g. new bike lanes) along the route.Recording a Location with Safety Issues or a Crash
Go to the RECORD screen and click on the "RECORD" button. You will be asked four questions about the crash or near-miss event (mandatory) and two questions about the safety problem (mandatory). In both cases you will then be asked to provide the location of the problem (mandatory) and a photograph (optional). Your feedback will be valuable to understand the frequency and location of crashes or safety issues. Non-fatal crashes are significantly under-reported, your feedback is crucial to better understand the frequency of crashes and the location of areas with safety problems.
Allow GPS Data Collection
The app will ask you to allow access to location services in your phone's Settings. Also, to submit photographs that can be used to locate safety or infrastructure issues you will be asked to allow location data in your camera settings.
Using the App While Riding
For safety reasons, it is recommended that users never look at the screen or interact with the app while riding.

In his planning for Highland Inn, Brian Boston wanted to create a place that had the same solid attitudes about American cuisine as the Milton Inn, his long-running special-occasion restaurant in northern Baltimore County.
But Boston said he wanted Highland Inn, which is near Clarksville in southern Howard County, to be more accessible, the kind of place where folks would want to come once a week instead of just for anniversary dinners and graduation parties.
The good news is that Highland Inn, whose conversion from an 1890s farmhouse into a full-scale restaurant took longer than anyone expected, is a perfectly charming and satisfying dining destination.
Just don't go expecting burgers and wings. Highland Inn may be a casual option compared to the Milton Inn, but it still falls on the expensive side of area dining. Entree prices on the dining-room menu fall mainly in the upper $20s and lower $30s.
There is, though, a separate lounge menu, with a $12 hamburger and a $16 New York strip sandwich. The lounge, which is in between the entrance and the main-level dining room, is wide open and good looking. Early on a recent Saturday night, the lounge was at full capacity, as were the dining rooms. In addition to the main-level dining room, there is another, the Terrace Room, on the lower level. When the weather turns nice — and it will — Highland Inn will start outdoor dining service on a patio adjacent to the lower-level room.
Of the two, the upper dining room is the more formal, with white tablecloths, brightly patterned carpeting and a profusion of equestrian and sporting art by the Maryland artist Sam Robinson. Most prominent are wall-size murals on either end of the long room, which give this months-old restaurant a polished look. Highland Inn is ready for company.
Boston has installed Mark Davis, recently of Ten Ten American Bistro, as Highland Inn's executive chef, and his opening menu is a good balance of the familiar and the inventive. Most of the culinary playfulness comes where you'd expect it, in the appetizers, with things like duck spring rolls, toasted butternut gnocchi, and a bona fide knockout, the Crispy Pork Belly PB&J. The entrees are for the most part conservative offerings like pan-seared sea scallops, rack of lamb and dry-aged pork chops.
Credit Davis and his kitchen for giving equal attention to everything. There are solid skills on the display here. A petite filet is seasoned confidently and cooked perfectly to temperature. The salmon beneath delicately crisped skin is firm and moist. Most impressively, a herb-brined chicken entree is surpassingly juicy and full of flavor. Lately, we've been using roasted chicken as a barometer of sorts — if a kitchen can send out a good chicken entree, it can do anything.
We noted, too, the care and concern taken with the vegetables and legumes that Davis plated with his entrees — in winter, he's serving the chicken with tender maple-braised kale and a hash of parsnips and Brussels sprouts. With the salmon comes an aromatic ragout of littleneck clams, scallops, lentils, heirloom beans and a finishing touch of spinach-fennel cream.
Gnocchi is popping up on menus all over this year, and it's good to see Highland Inn not only keeping up with the times but doing it so well. Served with a hazelnut butter, fried sage and a herbed creme fraiche, Davis' gnocchi were little pillows of pleasure. And the silky pork belly, served with pistachio butter, spiced apple butter and a cider-sage jam, was just the thing to make new diners sit up and pay attention.
The service, early on a Saturday night, was a little jittery, but not in a way that concerned me. The staff will be fine as they gain some confidence at the table. Even now, they're great at filling water glasses and clearing empty plates. But be prepared for small misunderstandings, like when a cocktail is ordered that requires a type of spirit that Highland Inn's bar doesn't stock. If that's the type of thing that ruins your evening, you've been warned.
Highland Inn is off to a very good start. We can't say we're surprised — Boston is a complete pro, and we've enjoyed Davis' cooking elsewhere. But we're happy to tell you about it all the same.

Dallas-based Neiman Marcus, chocolate chip cookie peddler and preferred shopping destination of Hilary Banks, has just unleashed its 86th annual "Christmas Book" catalog. And, per usual, all eyes aren't on the raccoon fur hats and $85 tins of candied apricots. It's the publicity-grabbing "Fantasy Gifts" section — basically, a condensed version of the SkyMall catalog but geared towards folks who own 150-foot yachts and dancing horses — that once again has jaws dropping and eyes rolling.
In the past, Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts have included his-and-her hot air balloons, Lucite bathtubs with built-in aquariums, mermaid suits (swimming lessons included), gold toilet seats, Valentino gowns, Jack Nicklaus-designed backyard golf courses, and enough fresh caviar to gag a well-heeled horse. And let us not forget a rather insane Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gift from the early 1970s: a truckload of pink air. How very luxurious!
This year's opulent offerings for the one percent are fairly predictable: a water-propelled jet pack ($99,500), a limited-edition McLaren sports car in "volcano red" ($354,000), a walk-on role in "Annie: The Musical" ($30,000), and the tailgate trailer to end all tailgate trailers ($150,000). And given that more and more Americans are turning toward at-home food production and exploring other means of self-sufficiency in these lean times, Neiman Marcus has also opted to include perhaps the trendiest of all new agrarian accessories as a Fantasy Gift selection: a hen house.
Of course, this isn't your run-of-the-mill backyard chicken coop. Oh no. This posh poultry pied-à-terre that's designed for only the hautest of hens — it makes William-Sonoma's $900 coop look positively low-rent — will set you back $100,000.
Picture this:
Dawn breaks. The hens descend from their bespoke Versailles-inspired Le Petit Trianon house to their playground below for a morning wing stretch. Slipping on your wellies, you start for the coop and are greeted by the pleasant clucking of your specially chosen flock and the site of the poshest hen house ever imagined. Your custom-made multilevel dwelling features a nesting area, a 'living room' for nighttime roosting, a broody room, a library filled with chicken and gardening books for visitors of the human kind, and, of course, an elegant chandelier. The environment suits them well as you notice the fresh eggs awaiting morning collection. Nearby, you pick fresh vegetables or herbs from your custom-built raised gardens. You've always fancied yourself a farmer—now thanks to Heritage Hen Farm, you're doing it in the fanciest way possible!
Good grief — furs, Ferraris, and, now, fancy farming. Now all you need is a pair of $600 Stuart Weitzman boots and a $7,750 fox fur vest to experience full faux farmer-dom from the comfort of your
backyard estate. Okay, maybe not that last one as you wouldn't want to offend your newly acquired brood.
In addition to the custom-built digs — the "Beau Coop" comes complete with waterer, feeder, grazing trays, and chandelier — $100K will also get you two custom-designed vegetable or herb raised garden beds to complement the coop. But that's not all, folks … Because not just any old chicken is worthy of such Versailles-inspired luxury, Svetlana Simon of Florida's Heritage Hen Farm will also handpick three to 10 heritage-bred cluckers to take up residence in the coop. Simon will visit your property for an initial consultation and "grounds survey" and return for two follow-up visits. She elaborates on the Heritage Hen Farm Facebook page: "We'll hold the future farmer's hand as we teach how to raise a healthy flock, to compost from hen house to garden bed, grow veggies and herbs for their table and flock, sprout legumes, fodder and rotate pasture trays and experience the reward of permaculture."
I should also point out that with each purchase of the Heritage Hen Mini Farm, Neiman Marcus will donate $3,000 to the American Livestock Breeds Conservancy, an organization that ensures "the future of agriculture through the genetic conservation and promotion of endangered breeds of livestock and poultry."
Delivery is not included.
Although most Neiman Marcus Fantasy Gifts from past years primarily involve the pelts of dead animals, this isn't the first time the retailer has sold live animals in some shape or form through its Christmas catalog. The very first Fantasy Gift — back in 1952 — was a live Black Angus bull that came complete with a sterling silver barbecue cart and price tag of $1,925. In 2008, the catalog included a $10 million thoroughbred horse farm in Kentucky.
Despite the lovely message and lovely cause, the only person on Earth that I can actually picture buying a chicken coop with such an exorbitant price tag is fellow Versailles admirer David Siegel. I think it would be the perfect gift for his wife, Jackie. Tending chickens would be a great distraction from the kids and save her from the humiliation of having to buy eggs at Walmart.

- changed status to resolved
Turns out this is an issue of a python file named "xxx", and coverage not treating it right because it doesn't end with ".py".
Fixed in 5985e8e8bf49
I am trying to use coverage r172 using python 2.4.
When I try to generate a report I get: {{{ #!sh $ coverage -r xxxc Name Stmts Exec Cover
xxxc tokenize.TokenError: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (104, 0)) }}}
if i ignore the error with: {{{ #!sh $ coverage -i -r xxxc Name Stmts Exec Cover
I don't get anything at all.
It works with coverage 2.85.
Turns out this is an issue of a python file named "xxx", and coverage not treating it right because it doesn't end with ".py".
Fixed in 5985e8e8bf49
the coverage works now.
but it still leaves some garbage "xxxc" file.
and i think it would be better not give a tokeninze error if a user ask to report a non-python file.
You are right: the xxxc file is bad. I've changed the way files are run. Try the code as of b5abcee50dbe to see if you like it better.
ok. I testsed on r185. thanks
Removing version: 3.0b2 (automated comment)
I'm getting the same (multi-line) error message with 3.3.1. I'm generating a data file thus:
from coverage import coverage
cov = coverage(data_file='vpepm.coverage')
...the test runs to completion, the requested file is created, but:
$ coverage report vpepm.coverage
Name Stmts Exec Cover
vpepm TokenError: ('EOF in multi-line statement', (27, 0))
The argument to the "report" command is meant to be a python module, not the collected data file. coverage is trying to parse the pickled coverage data as Python source, and "EOF in multi-line statement" is what results.
There's no command-line switch to use a different data file, but you can set the COVERAGE_FILE environment variable to get the same effect:
COVERAGE_FILE=vpepm.coverage coverage report
I'll add a "--data" option to the TODO list.
That would be nice, but it's no problem for me to use the default name; I'll just do that. The most useful TODO for this would IMO be earlier detection and a more informative error message. Thanks, and it's now working great.

- For the game and manga character, see Brock.
Brock wanted to be the greatest Pokémon Breeder (he is now following his destiny as a Pokémon Doctor), and gives up his title of Gym Leader after Ash won his first Kanto League Gym Badge from him. He was first seen taking care of his nine siblings.
After Ash loses to Brock, a stranger (Brock's father) offers to help make his Pikachu stronger. Pikachu (after being hooked up to a local hydro-power station) becomes stronger and manages to defeat Geodude, but Onix remains too strong. Onix has Pikachu in a body bind; however, Pikachu's previous electric attack ravaged the gym, which set off the sprinklers, weakening his Onix. Ash declines the badge on the grounds that he unfairly beat Brock, but Brock later catches up to him and presents to him the badge, saying that he wants Ash to fulfill his dream of becoming the best. The stranger that first helped Ash reveals himself to be Brock's father, Flint, who has a tendency to not notify people it is him. Brock is now free to train himself, and joins Ash and Misty on their journey.
Since then, he travels with Ash and Misty on his many adventures. In the Orange Islands series, he leaves the team to join Professor Felina Ivy, but mysteriously returns to Pallet Town when Ash wins the Orange League Championship. When asked what happened, Brock just rolled up into a ball and replied: "I don't wanna talk about it." or "Don't mention that name." every time someone mentions Professor Ivy. Rejoining Ash and Misty, Brock travels to Johto, where he continues to help Ash and Misty. Upon the conclusion of the Silver Conference, the three part ways, Brock heading back to Pewter City. It is there (in an episode of Pokémon Chronicles) that he discovers his estranged mother Lola (Mizuho in the original), who, because she is a Water-type Pokémon Trainer, has ruined the reputation of the Gym he defended so long ago and had ended up filling the gym with water (causing Brock to comically freak out and keeps repeating "A LAKE!!!" when he first sees it).
By defeating his mother, he restores the Gym's reputation, and proceeds to leave all his Pokémon (except Forretress) to his younger brother Forrest, before departing for the Hoenn region, where he catches up with Ash and his two new friends, May and Max.
The group travel across Hoenn and then return to Kanto to participate in the Battle Frontier. The group went their separate ways and Brock met up with Ash in Sinnoh. While there, they meet a new coordinator named Dawn and her partner Piplup, who joins them on their journey through Sinnoh .
During this time, both Brock's father, Flint (Munō in the original, who was also Brock's predecessor as Gym Leader), ran off again, and his oldest younger brother Forrest (Jirō in the original) took the role of Gym Leader in Pewter City, as well as the responsibility of caring for his many other younger siblings. Brock is the oldest of ten siblings, with five brothers and four sisters.
Brock is always well-equipped, and is sometimes the voice of reason when Ash and Misty (and later, May and Dawn) get into an argument. He is also hardworking and is always willing to help others. Coupled with his experiences in taking care of others, Brock often prepares food and does most of the chores for the main characters. Brock is also exceptionally good at making food for Pokemon.
At the end of the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl series, Brock aspires to become a Pokémon Doctor, and work alongside Nurse Joy. After departing from Ash and Dawn, Brock returns home to Pewter City to train to become a Pokémon Doctor.
In the Pokémon: Diamond and Pearl Special Episode 2, he has photos of Ash, Misty, May, Max, Dawn, Piplup, and Pikachu to remind him of how much fun it was traveling with them. He also chooses his brother Forrest to replace him as Gym Leader
In the Black and White Special he encounters Cilan in a small town. He helps treat Pansage after it got hurt fighting a Gyarados. The two form of fast friendship and work together as they help Gyarados. As they part they both realize they never asked for each others name.
Running gags
Over the course of the series, there have come to be a couple of recurring gags related to Brock that have become quite prominent.
One of the most notable running gags in the anime is that Brock makes advances on virtually/love sick crazy on every girl his age or older, and is usually met by rejection, confusion, or being dragged away from them by Misty, Max, or his Pokémon, Croagunk. One of several exceptions was Professor Ivy, the Pokémon Professor from the Orange Islands, with whom he spent some time away from the show. He later returns but refuses to explain why he left her, simply saying "Don't mention that name!" Pike Queen Lucy of the Battle Frontier in Tohjo Falls seems to have a liking towards Brock (partially because she has a soft spot for Pokémon with squinty eyes) almost traveling with him, before Max interrupts. Other girls who had feelings for Brock include Wilhelmina, Temacu, Natalie, Autumn, Narissa, Lizabeth and Holly.
His crushes include the various Nurse Joy's and Officer Jenny's, which he can differentiate with ease based on very perceptive but minute observations. Because of this, he can spot impostor Joy's and Jenny's instantly. Other crushes are: Rhonda, Rhoda.
Oatmeal Pokémon
Another one of the notable running gags is how Brock is forced to entertain an audience while other characters retrieve something which would typically be another Pokémon that would have been putting on a show for the current audience that has likely been stolen by Team Rocket. During the cases in which he does,such as he repeats one song (usually an English version of "Takeshi no Paradise", one of the Japanese ending themes) ad nauseam to the point that he is either booed offstage or loses interest in singing he reveals that he sings this song over and over is because its the only song he knows. After Ash finished the Sinnoh league Ash and Brock left back to Kanto and went their separate ways. In the Pokémon DP Special Episode 2, Brock is shown studying to become a Pokémon Doctor, and even has photos of Ash, Pikachu, Misty, May, Max, Dawn and Piplup, reminding himself of how much he misses all of them.
At Pewter Gym
|Brock has only met his recently evolved Steelix once. Evolving while under the control of his brother Forest, it remains loyal to Brock and follows his commands at will. It has gained strength after the evolution and remains to be an amazing Pokémon at the Pewter Gym for Brock to call upon whenever he needs it. Brock's Steelix debuted in Showdown In Pewter City as an Onix and in Grading Spaces as a Steelix.
|Onix → Steelix ♂
|How Brock obtained Geodude is unknown, however Geodude has always been a vital member of Brock's team, always being there for battle or for certain contests. Geodude is an unfailingly fun loving Pokémon that is known to have fun with Pikachu and the other Pokémon on many occasions, however it was seldom seen. When Brock left for Hoenn, he also left Geodude in Forest's care. Brock's Geodude debuted in Showdown In Pewter City.
|Geodude ♂
|Evolving due to Brock's immense care and bond with it while in battle with Team Rocket, Crobat is a Pokémon that follows the orders of its trainer. With its four wings, it is a super fast flying Pokémon that has been known to help Brock out of jams on several occasions. When Brock left Pewter Gym for Hoenn, he left Crobat under the possession of his brother Forrest, however Crobat is overjoyed to see Brock whenever he returns to the gym. Brock's Crobat debuted in Clefairy and the Moon Stone as a Zubat, 'Hassle in the Castle as a Golbat and Control Freak as a Crobat.
|Zubat → Golbat → Crobat ♂
|After evolving from Pineco, Forretress became Brock's most commonly used Pokémon. It got over its habit of exploding when near Brock and became a powerhouse. Forretress was the only one of Brock's Pokémon that he took to Hoenn with him and resided as a vital member of his team until Sinnoh. Brock's Forretress debuted in Entei at Your Own Risk as a Forretress.
|Pineco → Forretress ♂
|After finding a Water Stone and evolving, Ludicolo became a more friendly and energetic Pokémon and is known to dance on occasion. It has not been used in battle often so it's true battling power is still unknown. When Brock returned home from Hoenn, he decided to leave Ludicolo at the gym to entertain his family.
|Lotad → Lombre → Ludicolo ♂
|After evolving, Marshtomp became a strong Pokémon often used to settle feuds or just in simple battle. Marshtomp is a well mannered Pokémon which takes after it's trainer a little bit in regards to romance. Brock notably used Marshtomp in a Pokémon Contest against May.

He was also fine on DP090: Ghoul Daze!, among other episodes.

This article appeared in an August 2016 issue of the student newsletter.
By Marielle McGregor
Are you preparing to enter the world of mobile apps?
A career in software development requires a lot more than technical know-how. Studios and agencies alike are looking to hire programmers with both hard
and soft skills. A passion to learn is also key.
I recently sat down with Julian Placino, recruiting lead at Bottle Rocket Studios. Placino answered some of our students' and faculty members' top questions surrounding employment in this lucrative, growing field.
His biggest piece of employment advice: Create an app and get it in the store.
Where is the demand greater for developers – programming for IOS or Android? "At Bottle Rocket we have about 100 software engineers, and it splits pretty evenly down the middle. There is a need for both. We like folks to be a master of their craft, so there is not a lot of crossing over between disciplines."
Is it common for your employees to develop for both? Which languages typically pair with each? "iOS is written in [the language of] Objective C, which is basically C++. There is a new language called Swift which is making its way into our production code. For Android, it is Java development."
What internships does Bottle Rocket offer to programming students or recent grads? "We have a very popular internship program, and we go on to hire almost 80% of our interns. The season begins in June, and we employ three iOS interns and three Android interns. We don't advertise these paid internships extensively, but rather we input interested programmers into a database when we get pinged. Most of our interns have apps in the App store already. An app is like an artist's portfolio. This is stronger than a certification or degree for us. A real passion for coding is also essential. We look for the people who have their own real development."
How important are the soft skills in landing (and maintaining) a job as a software developer? "Soft skills are critical. Engineers have a stereotype of not having soft skills. But at Bottle Rocket we have a very collaborative environment. Engineers often work in teams … with designers, quality assurance specialists, project managers. It is important to have empathy and the ability to work in a team."
Should professors continue placing emphasis on group-oriented projects? "It really depends on what the project is, but in most instances I think it certainly helps. I have been in IT recruiting the past 10 years. Again, working in teams is critical. Engineers do not work alone. You are always part of some type of development team."
If you were going to take a series of programming courses, what stands out? "A lot of CS students start with C++ and Java. These languages have historically served as a good programming foundation for engineers."
Mobile app companies tend to have a fun, relaxed work environment. What should programmers wear to a job interview? "This really depends on the environment. To be safe, it makes sense to dress business professional or at least business casual if you are unaware of the dress protocol. However, you can always ask the individual who invited you to the interview what the appropriate dress is."
How important is Java script in your development process? If so, what libraries are you using? "At Bottle Rocket Studios we do have a few front-end developers. We use angular and Knode JS as well as J-QUERY."
Do you prefer developers have knowledge of Objective C or Swift, or possibly both? "Both. Although most of our production code is Objective-C, Swift is definitely a language that is up and coming."
Is Bottle Rocket Studios primarily interested in hiring developers for games, social apps or business apps? "We typically don't hire developers for specific projects. As long as candidates are capable and passionate, we can train them to work on just about anything."
Is a formal computer science degree preferred/required? "No, it is not required. But computer science definitely does breed computer science. Nothing beats prior experience though. Get internships, work for free, get your code out there and understand what it is like to work for a software development team."
You are known for your community involvement and college boot camps. Would Bottle Rocket be interested in visiting DCCCD next? "Yes, we are pretty active in the community. We just did our first boot camp at Texas A&M, and we've done one at UTD and UNT. "
Note: Since this spring interview, Bottle Rocket apps is now working with Brookhaven College to offer a Boot Camp for students this fall.
Curious what coding is exactly? Check out this past article from our student newsletter, "Programming: What It Is and Why Anyone Can Do It."
The colleges of DCCCD offer
credit classes, certificates and degrees that can help you build your coding skills.

When we first saw the official shots of the Aston Martin CC100 Speedster, we knew it looked good. What we didn't know, however, was how it sounds. (It sounds awesome, of course.)
The video above, shot at the Concorso d'Eleganza Villa d'Este this weekend, has that supercar-cough on ignition, with an invigorating V12 rumble at the low end, followed by the trumpeting of elephants at the top of the tachometer. Just to cap it off, there's that sweet little pop on the overrun.
We also get a good look at the peaks and valleys of the exterior and the classic leather-and-carbon-fiber interior of the car, away from the carefully lit backdrops of the Aston studios. And yet, somehow, it looks even better.
I want this, very badly. If you happen to have a copy of the Aston Martin CC100 Speedster, please do send one along. Please. Pretty please. Please.
Big thanks to Marco for sending it in!

validate_block 0.2.0
This gem allows similar ActiveRecord validates_* commands to be grouped together in blocks and pruned of repeated parameters. How often have you had a block of validation commands in an ActiveRecord object that are repeated, especially :id or :unless options? Does this look familiar? validates_presence_of :hair, :hair_color, :unless => :bald? validates_length_of :hair, :within => 3..15, :unless => :bald? validates_inclusion_of :hair_color, :in => HAIR_COLORS, :unless => bald? Instead, this gem will allow you to replace the above code with: validate_block :unless => :bald? do presence_of :hair, :hair_color length_of :hair, :within => 3..15 inclusion_of :hair_color, :in => HAIR_COLORS end ..which is a great way to DRY your :hair, don't you think? Basically, this gem 1) removes the requirement to have 'validates_' on the front of the commands and 2) passes the options on the validate_block command to each validation command inside the block. The syntax of the validation commands remains the same. Keeping the 'validates_*' prefix on the commands inside the block _will_ work but it is not required.

"I would not let Martha read "First Impressions" again upon any account, and am very glad that I did not leave it in your power." – Jane Austen
I trekked from Sydney to Canberra a few weekends ago to see an original handwritten letter from Jane Austen to Cassandra that is housed in the National Library of Australia after my publishing editor told me that he had seen it there some weeks ago. Three hours, traffic stress and seventy dollars worth of petrol later and I had made it to Australia's capital, ACT. Every moment was worth it, to see this:

Summary and Keywords
Bare nominals (also called "bare nouns") are nominal structures without an overt article or other determiner. The distinction between a bare noun and a noun that is part of a larger nominal structure must be made in context: Milk is a bare nominal in I bought milk, but not in I bought the milk. Bare nouns have a limited distribution: In subject or object position, English allows bare mass nouns and bare plurals, but not bare singular count nouns (*I bought table). Bare singular count nouns only appear in special configurations, such as coordination (I bought table and chairs for £182).
From a semantic perspective, it is noteworthy that bare nouns achieve reference without the support of a determiner. A full noun phrase like the cookies refers to the maximal sum of cookies in the context, because of the definite article the. English bare plurals have two main interpretations: In generic sentences they refer to the kind (Cookies are sweet), in episodic sentences they refer to some exemplars of the kind (Cookies are in the cabinet). Bare nouns typically take narrow scope with respect to other scope-bearing operators like negation.
The typology of bare nouns reveals substantial variation, and bare nouns in languages other than English may have different distributions and meanings. But genericity and narrow scope are recurring features in the cross-linguistic study of bare nominals.
Keywords: noun, article, bare, reference, genericity, kind, indefinite, scope

Half my bones in city streets, the other in my sheets, and I don't think they'll ever get the chance to meet. I never wanted to be here now, one foot in the grave, other on the ground. I can't process what I'm feeling now, this skin I can do without.

Former Truckee mayor Ron Florian dies at 61
Special to the Sun
TRUCKEE, Calif. — Former Truckee Mayor Ron Florian passed away peacefully at his home in Boise, Idaho, on April 13, 2014. He was 61 years old. Truckee has lost a dear friend.
Ron Florian was born in Sacramento, Calif., on Oct. 1, 1952. He followed his father's footsteps as a grocer working for Safeway for 28 years.
Ron came to Truckee to manage the old Safeway where Mountain Hardware is today, and to open the new Safeway in 1992. In January of 1995, Ron married the love of his life, Patti, who will tell you Ron was "the sweetest, kindest husband with the quickest wit."
Truckee, Calif., is where a bond between a man and a place was forged. A bond that was so exceptional many were simply blessed to have borne witness to a union of energy, caring, giving, friendship and of loving a community and the people who comprised it.
Support Local Journalism
Ron Florian was generous in many ways, giving of his time and labors to the benefit of others, many of whom he did not know personally. Ron was a past president of the Truckee Rotary and a member for many years and although that provided an avenue to serve, it did not define him. He gave in so many ways both in the open and quietly on the side.
Perhaps the most prideful achievement of Ron's life was his service of two terms on the Truckee Town Council, including two terms as Mayor.
Mayor Florian had a sense of what it was to be a part of something big, and very big for a small community. As a member of the Council, Ron was instrumental in establishing Truckee's Police Department, and in negotiations regarding the Highway 267 Bypass.
Although he might not have been as verbose as others, he had compassion, vision, and an unyielding drive to do what was best for Truckee. Ron conducted himself with reverence for the trust and honor bestowed upon him by his community always ready to do the people's work with a crisp freshly starched white shirt and smart tie.
Ron Florian enjoyed himself, but more importantly he enjoyed the pleasure of working side by side with the people of Truckee. He treated his colleagues as friends, never adversaries.
Although not always in agreement with them, he loved them and cherished the bond of service together. Ron accepted accolades for accomplishment, but then credited them to the staff, whom he valued, loved and felt did the heavy lifting. He represented the Town with grace, wonderful wit and sense of humor.
Ron and Patti dreamed of owning their own business and together opened Florian's Fine Wines & Specialty Foods in 1999. Ron was generous with his business, providing raffle items for charities, gift baskets for events, catering personally in his "whites," and judging the 4th of July parade each year.
There was no opportunity to serve that was too small. Florian's became a "meeting place" of sorts. A place to catch up on gossip of the day, grab a sandwich, lobby the Mayor-or at least try to. It was also a place where, if timed correctly, one might be invited to "taste" something fine, or have a "pop"in the backroom, if Ron happened to flash you that impish grin.
There was a lot of tasting going on. Eventually, the backroom at Florian's became known as the "Frank Fat's of Truckee," the place where many a good idea was hatched and even a few implemented. It was a pleasure and an honor to be there.
One of the greatest gifts that Ron Florian gave was his commitment to young people. He hired them. He gave them jobs. He taught them how to work. He taught them how to talk to people and look them in the eye. Above all else, he mentored them. He took interest in them as people, treated them with respect and cast them out into the world with something they shall value years from now.
With any luck, they too might forge that bond in another town, in another place and carry forward the legacy of one very special man, Ron Florian.
A memorial is planned for late June in Truckee. Condolences can be sent to Patti Florian at firstname.lastname@example.com or mailed to 6216 N. Park Meadow Way, #210, Boise, ID, 83713. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Ron's name to the American Lung Association.
— Ted Owens is a former Truckee mayor and former Nevada County supervisor.

A West Palm Beach company bought 140 acres of agricultural land out of foreclosure in Charlotte County for $444,000.
Granville Ranch LLC, a company managed by Justice Anderson, bought the property at 17931 Huffmaster Road for what equates to $3,143 per acre.
The land previously belonged to Florida West Realty Partners of Charlotte LLC, a Naples company managed by Robert Singer.
Singer's company paid $1.068 million for the land in April 2007 and lost it to foreclosure in September 2011.
The sales price falls in line with the recent transactions involving agricultural land, which during the boom years in the mid-2000s could command as much as $30,000 per acre when it appeared slated for development. The downturn in housing and subsequent downturn in commercial properties cut the price dramatically.
One of the big buyers of agricultural property in recent years has been the wealthy Dart family, whose fortune stemmed from the Dart Container Corp.
The family, for example, bought 5,600 acres of grazing land and orange groves near Arcadia in fall 2011 for $15 million, which averages out to about $2,700 per acre.
In July 2012, the Darts bought another 757 acres next to what had been Hi Hat Ranch property. The family paid $2 million for that, or about the same $2,700 per acre.
Another large agricultural deal, this one in June 2012, was 5,735 acres of cattle, sod and mining land in Charlotte County bought by University Park-based Probitas Enterprises LLC for $17.98 million. That equated to $3,135 per acre, also on par with recent transactions.
In November 2011, Layline Land LLC paid $5.9 million, or about $3,540 per acre, for 1,666 acres of grazing land
140 acres bought at $3,143 per acre

Did George Washington have a mental breakdown at Valley Forge?
Greeting, TURNcoats, and Happy Finale Day! As Season 2 of TURN: Washington's Spies comes to a close, there are certainly lots of plot points both factual and fictional to reflect upon.
One of the most controversial parts of Season 2 was undoubtedly the portrayal of George Washington in the episode "Valley Forge." In that episode, Washington has an extreme mental breakdown resulting in flashbacks, hallucinations, nonsensical outbursts, and even a violent attack on his enslaved manservant, Billy Lee. The writers of TURN justified Washington's "madness" by having Dr. James Thatcher diagnose him with "melancholia" as brought on by extreme stress — but as the Oxford English Dictionary notes, that term was rarely used in that context in the 18th century.
Perhaps the most memorable scene of the episode featured a dramatic camera angle that directly parodied a popular 20th century portrait depicting Washington kneeling in the snow. In the original painting, titled "The Prayer at Valley Forge," Washington is meant to be praying to God. In TURN, Washington is pleading with a hallucination of his dead half-brother Lawrence in the midst of a mental breakdown.
Needless to say, this iconoclastic treatment of Washington caused quite a stir with TURN viewers. This blog was flooded with questions about whether or not there was any historical basis for Washington having a mental breakdown at Valley Forge, e.g.:
"In a recent episode George Washington appeared to have a mental breakdown as he struggled to make a decision. Is there evidence to support that?"
"Is there any basis for Washington's breakdown and conversation with his dead half brother at Valley Forge?"
Given the potentially far-reaching implications of TURN's insinuations that Washington was mentally unstable, I knew it was time to call in reinforcements to help set the record straight. To answer those questions, we TURN to a formidable authority on the subject: Mary V. Thompson, a Research Librarian at the Fred W. Smith National Library for the Study of George Washington who has been researching, writing, and teaching about Washington for over thirty years at Mount Vernon.
Mary V. Thompson writes:
All of the questions you've received are basically asking the same thing and would get the same answer. There is no evidence at all that George Washington was dealing any kind of mental breakdown either at Valley Forge, or any other time in his life. Throughout that winter of 1777 – 1778, he was dealing with serious supply issues, which he was able to rectify, as well as some rather under-handed attacks on his competency as commander-in-chief (the Conway Cabal), which he handled rather deftly.
As she did for all eight years of the Revolution, Martha Washington spent the winter at Valley Forge with her husband. In a letter to a friend she wrote about what she found in camp that year:
"I came to this place about the first of February whare I found the General very well…The General is in camped in what is called the great Valley on the Banks of the Schuykill officers and men are cheifly in Hutts, which they say is tolerable comfortable; the army are as healthy as can well be expected in general – the Generals appartments is very small he has had a log cabben built to dine in which has made our quarter much more tolarable than they were at first."
Please note that there was no mention of a crisis on the part of her husband.
This is in decided contrast to a letter she wrote two years later, after the winter at Morristown, New Jersey, which was the worst of the war, in regard to the weather. At that time, George Washington was also dealing with soldiers angry about not being paid and threatening mutiny. This is what Mrs. Washington had to say about that winter after it was over:
"…we were sorry that we did not see you at the Camp – there was not much pleasure thar the distress of the army and other difficultys th'o I did not know the cause, the pore General was so unhappy that it distressed me exceedingly."
Again, her husband was unhappy and preoccupied, but nothing worse.
There were times in the early years of the war, when George Washington seems to have been feeling overwhelmed or pessimistic about the incredible burden he had taken on as head of the American army, but that is a far cry from having a mental breakdown. I've pulled together some of these below. I think it is particularly interesting that, in many of them, he turns to his religious beliefs as a way of putting the situation into context. Although the story about Washington praying in the snow at Valley Forge has been discredited, it does seem to me that, if Washington turned to anyone about the terrible months at those winter quarters, it would have been to his God.
George Washington to Joseph Reed, January 4, 1776
"…for more than two months past, I have scarcely immerged [sic] from one difficulty before I have [been] plunged into another. How it will end, God in his great goodness will direct. I am thankful for his protection to this time. We are told that we shall soon get the army completed, but I have been told so many things which have never come to pass, that I distrust every thing."
George Washington to Joseph Reed, January 14, 1776
"…If I shall be able to rise superior to these and many other difficulties, which might be enumerated, I shall most religiously believe, that the finger of Providence is in it, to blind the eyes of our enemies; for surely if we get well through this month, it must be for want of their knowing the disadvantages we labour under…."
George Washington to his favorite brother, John Augustine Washington, December 18, 1776
"You can form no Idea of the perplexity of my Situation. No Man, I believe, ever had a greater choice of difficulties and less means to extricate himself from them. However under a full persuasion of the justice of our Cause I cannot [but think the prospect will brighten, although for a wise purpose it is, at present hid under a cloud] entertain an Idea that it will finally sink tho' it may remain for some time under a Cloud."
George Washington to his step-son, John Parke Custis, January 22, 1777
"…How we shall be able to rub along till the new army is raised, I know not. Providence has heretofore saved us in a remarkable manner, and on this we must principally rely…."

The UNCG Soccer Stadium is a modern soccer-only facility located in the heart of campus. Both the men's and women's teams celebrated their 20th season in the state-of-the-art facility in 2010.
UNCG played on the same site, then known as Campus Field, through the 1990 season. On Dec. 6, 1990, ground was broken on the $3.6 million stadium that fans see today.
Prior to the renovation, the UNCG men's soccer team was as dominant on its home field as it is today. The site of the UNCG Soccer Stadium has served as the home field for the Spartans for more than 25 seasons. Both teams have won more than 70 percent of their matches on the home pitch.
The stadium still rivals any collegiate soccer facility in the nation. Among its several outstanding features:
The stadium's opening coincided with UNCG's entry into NCAA Division I competition. It was dedicated before a sellout crowd Sept. 7, 1991, as the men's team christened the facility with a 3-1 win over Campbell. Four nights later, the squad stunned the college soccer world by defeating No. 2 NC State, 2-1.
The first women's soccer game played in UNCG Soccer Stadium was against Duke on Sept. 11, 1991. The Blue Devils blanked the Spartans, 4-0. The first victory for UNCG came in a 7-0 rout of Erskine on Sept. 13, 1991.
The largest crowd to attend a UNCG home outdoor athletic event at the stadium was 4,225 on Oct. 5, 1991, for a Homecoming men's soccer game against Ohio State. The Spartans won 6-0.
Besides providing UNCG's teams with a first-class home, the stadium has also attracted a number of outside events to the campus. UNCG hosted the semifinal and final rounds of the NCAA Women's Soccer Championship in 1997 and 1998, focusing nationwide attention on Greensboro and the university. A then-championship record of 20,058 fans attended in 1998, including a stadium single-event record 10,583 for the final. The championship was nationally televised by ESPN.
The stadium served as a site for the U.S. Youth Soccer Association regional championship during the summer of 1997. The Olympic champion women's national soccer team played the opening game in the Victory Tour presented by Nike in the stadium on April 24, 1997, defeating France.
Also, prior to the 1996 Olympic Games, the Norwegian women's soccer team trained at the stadium and played an exhibition match against United States select players.
A match between the men's national teams of the U.S. and Canada was played in the stadium in 1992. The stadium served as the home of the professional Greensboro Dynamo from 1993-95, and is the site of the North Carolina East-West High School All-Star soccer games each year.
In the summer of 2001, the Boston Breakers of the WUSA held their preseason camp in the stadium.
UNCG Soccer Stadium has also hosted numerous Big South, Southern Conference and NCAA tournament matches.

The butterflies will thank you for it.

Original Trinity Hymnal, #692
Jesus may come today,
Glad day! Glad day!
And I would see my Friend;
Dangers and troubles would end
If Jesus should come today.
Glad day! Glad day! Is it the crowning day?
I'll live for today, nor anxious be,
Jesus, my Lord, I soon shall see;
Glad day! Glad day! Is it the crowning day?
I may go home today,
Glad day! Glad day!
Seemeth I hear their song;
Hail to the radiant throng!
If I should go home today.
Why should I anxious be?
Glad day! Glad day!
Lights appear on the shore,
Storms will affright nevermore,
For he is at hand today.
Faithful I'll be today,
Glad day! Glad day!
And I will freely tell
Why I should love him so well,
For he is my all today.
