|0006318: Extend try with "success" handling
|I'd like to propose extending try with clauses that match the value of the body in the case where no exception is raised:
try expr
with pattern_1 -> expr_1
| ...
| pattern_n -> expr_n
| val pattern_1' -> expr_1'
| ...
| val pattern_n' -> expr_n'
Adding a place to specify what should happen only in the "success" case has two benefits: it makes some code clearer, and it makes it easier to write tail recursive code, since expr_1'...expr_n' are in tail position.
I've posted a more detailed proposal here, with an implementation and some history:

> in this case the value of expr is matched against pattern_1' ... pattern_n' to select the expression to evaluate to produce the result value
The feature is great, but I really dislike the choice of the "try...with" syntax. What happens if none of these pattern match the value of expr? There are two possibilities:
i) The value of expr itself is returned: this is coherent with the current behavior of try...with, but it forces the type of the expr to be the same as the entire expression, and when the "val" clauses are exhaustive, there is no reason to do so.
ii) As soon as there is one "val" branch, the value of expr must be matched by one of them. This is very "discontinuous": the presence of a single branch changes the fact that the value of expr can be or not the value for the entire expression (which affects how the construction is type-checked). And that behavior would be so different from the current try...with (where the result is either the one from 'expr' or from one of the branches) that sharing the syntax would not be wise.
The most useful behavior is ii) (because one can add explicitly a catch all case "val x -> x" to retrieve i)).
The alternative syntax based on 'match...with' seems much better to me. And this is really what the new construction is: it matches the (exceptional or not) result of 'expr' and use it to pick the continuous.

@frisch: the lack of "continuity" as you would call it is a good point. Adding a "val" pattern would shift the type of the whole expression from the "try" expression to the right hand side of patterns, which is awkward.
I'd also dislike solutions that keep value and exception patterns apart. This would make it impossible to use the same right hand side for exception and value patterns as in:
match expr with
| exception (Foo n) | Some n -> ... use n ...
| exception _ | None -> ...
It seems the "match...with"-syntax by itself works best so far in any use case. I think there is no need to rush for a "try"-solution if it seems awkward. Chances are that people would already be happy enough with the "match/exception"-solution.

I don't think Jeremy gave the pointer to the branch, so here it is, for those who might want to review the patch:
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml/commits/handler-syntax [^]
frisch (developer)
2014-02-06 11:01
The patch shows clearly that having a non-empty set of "val" clauses in the try...with construction changes radically its type-checking rule (typecore.ml). This is a sign that the same syntactic form would be used for two different things, which is rather bad.
The corresponding change for the extended match...with is more regular. Actually, I think the two cases (with or without "exception" clauses) in typecore could and should be merged. Can you explain why you dropped begin_def() and end_def() from the case with "exception" clauses?
Concerning the implementation:
- one should of course draw fresh static_exception_ids instead of always using (-1).
- you observed that some optimization in simplif.ml has to be disabled for static exceptions (the optimization only applies when the staticraise is necessarily in tail position, which used to be the case when generated by the pattern-matching compiler). The technique I used in my static exception branch was to use negative identifiers for static_exceptions which should not be subject to this optimization (i.e. those introduced by the new feature). See: http://caml.inria.fr/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/ocaml/branches/static_exceptions/bytecomp/simplif.ml?r1=13216&r2=13217 [^]

Regarding Markus' comment about allowing to mix val and exception clauses: I agree it would be a nice addition, and it doesn't seem too difficult to implement. The idea would be to introduce one extra static_handler for each case (and let simplif.ml simplifies the typical case where it is used only once; or otherwise do it only for cases which mix val and exception patterns). (Well, perhaps guarded cases would be more difficult to support without duplicating the code the guard...)
On a related note, I'd be in favor of adding the "exception PAT" as a new construction in the algebra of patterns instead of letting the parser split "val" and "exception" clauses. The type-checker would normally fail on this new form of pattern, and the type-checking rule for the match...with would apply a special treatment to "split" a pattern by recognize the new form at the toplevel or immediately under (nested) or-patterns.
This would minimize the impact on the Parsetree and make the grammar more regular (no need to introduce new notion of "cases"), simplify the parser, and probably allow for better error messages when the user writes e.g.
| (exception ...) as foo -> ...

Just my grain of salt.
I kind of agree with Alain: this is an extension of match, and would better be implemented as such.
Considering the syntax, this is true that one wants the handling part to be very visible, but is it not the case already if we use the "exception" keyword?
Somehow "try" may end up deprecated some day, but removing keywords should be seen as a good thing!
For combining values and exceptions in the same or-pattern, I would be careful.
Depending on how it is compiled, combining the two together may make it more complicated.
On the other hand, if this can be made efficient I agree that it is something you may want.
frisch (developer)
2014-02-06 13:59
Another argument in favor of extending the syntax of patterns with an "exception PAT" form would be to support things such as:
match ... with
| ...
| ... lazy (exception Not_found) ... -> ...
| ...
(I'm not proposing to support this right now, because it would complicate the compilation quite a bit.)
frisch (developer)
2014-02-07 10:32
Does the following sound reasonable to everybody?
- Discard the extended try...with syntax and keep only match...with with "exception" clauses.
- Extend the syntactic algebra of patterns with "exception PAT".
- For now, support only toplevel occurrences of this new form of patterns in match...with clauses (in particular, do not try to support them under or patterns).
(Support for "exception PAT" under or-patterns (and maybe under lazy patterns) can then come later without changing the syntax.)

Yes, but I'm disturbed by point 2 (consider (exception p) a meaningful pattern in the general case). I agree the lazy example makes sense, but I think it rather means we should distinguish two syntactic classes, "value patterns" and "effect patterns", and that (lazy p) should in fact take an effect sub-pattern.
I think it is obvious to most people here but I would also like to clarify that:
match e with
| p1 -> ...
| p2 -> ..
| exception p1 -> ...
| exception p2 -> ...
can be understood as syntactic sugar for the internal syntax
match e with
| val p1 -> ...
| val p2 -> ..
| exception p1 -> ...
| exception p2 -> ...
In particular, (match e with _ -> e') gives an universal *value* pattern, and not an universal effect pattern, and does *not* capture exceptions.
gasche (administrator)
2014-02-07 10:54
Remark that Alain suggests to support only match..with, because the static semantic of try..with is more awkward, whereas they have a perfectly symmetric dynamic semantics.
The fundamental reason for the awkwardness is that exceptions are not statically typed in ML. If we were to have exception typings, we would see that extending match..with changes its exception typing in a discontinuous way, just like what Alain doesn't like about the extended try..with.
I still like the idea of having both, but agreeing on extending match..with is a good compromise. In particular, there is not much hope of being able to factorize try..with and its extension, as they handle "expected type" (the small amount of bidirectional type-checking we have for GADTs) differently than the non-extended version. On the contrary, typing rules for extended match..with can be merged with the existing one: the bidirectional information lost is the exception typing, which we do not track anyway.

Do you suggest two distinguish the two categories in the Parsetree (with a lot of duplicates, e.g. the | can be used in both kinds)?
My proposal attempts to minimize the impact on the syntactic aspects, while pushing the distinction between effect and value patterns to the type-checker.

I don't have a strong opinion. I think they should be distinguished in the manual, for example. I'm also not sure that would actually incur duplication. (p | p) is a valid value pattern, but there is not much incentives to allow it on effect patterns (if we don't want to allow (val p | exception p), all other cases can be expressed by lifting eg. (val p | val p') to (val (p | p')), and the external | between clauses would only take effect patterns (with some extra annotation to be able to pretty-print the simple (p) as (p) instead of (val p)).

Thanks for the comments and code review. I've made a new version of the patch available here:
https://github.com/yallop/ocaml/compare/trunk...handler-syntax [^]
The changes are:
* Only the extended match syntax is supported. The extended try syntax is no longer supported.
* Translcore.transl_exp0 now uses a fresh id each time instead of always using -1. (Thanks, Alain.)
* I fixed a bug in translcore where match totality information was not propagated.
* I reused the checks from Alain's static exception branch to disable optimizations for static raises not in tail position in Simplif.simplify_exits.
* I merged the two cases in the type checker for unextended and extended match. (Thanks, Alain.) The omission of begin_def/end_def was an oversight; the code was based on the code for Pexp_try (which doesn't use begin_def/end_def) rather than Pexp_match (which does).
* The previous implementation supported match expressions with only exception-matching clauses:
match v with exception E -> e ~> v
Going by the discussion so far this seems unlikely to be a popular feature, so I removed it. The type checker now catches such expressions and reports an error:
# match v with exception E -> e;;
Characters 0-29:
match v with exception E -> e;;
Error: None of the patterns in this 'match' expression match values.
I haven't yet changed the algebra of patterns to include 'exception PAT', since there doesn't seem to be consensus on this point yet. One possible drawback of such a change is that 'exception PAT', unlike existing pattern forms, doesn't make sense in most pattern contexts; for example, it can't be used in 'function' or 'let' bindings, both of which involve value patterns rather than effect patterns (to use Gabriel's terminology). I like the idea of allowing 'exception PAT' inside lazy and 'or' patterns, though; this should be possible in future regardless of whether we change the match syntax or the pattern syntax now.

Hi, following the discussion on the mailing list I was asked to present my view here:
I agree that 'exception PAT' should not be a pattern. In almost all pattern contexts it doesn't make sense, so if it really feels important to support 'lazy (exception PAT)' then I suggest we do so by allowing 'lazy' to take more than a pattern. (I do wonder what our semantics are for an exception-catching match statement, that also throws an exception while matching a lazy value. Do we catch it?)
With that in mind, I suggest that branches that match values are really quite different and separate from branches that match exceptions, e.g. in that
match v with | x -> ... | exception e -> ...
is always the same as
match v with | exception e -> ... | x -> ...
and in the behaviour of wildcard matches.
So, on the mailing list I proposed a syntax which more clearly distinguished the two kinds of patterns, and as a side effect made the meaning of wildcard patterns completely unambiguous. Something like:
match v with
with exception
| Ex1 -> ...
| Ex2 -> ...
I hadn't at the time considered the benefit of clauses like
match v with | None | exception Not_found -> ... | Some x -> ...
and I don't have a good answer for that in my syntax. But I wonder if that's so common a use case, and might be considered worth sacrificing for the greater clarity of my approach.
If we were feeling extra keen, we might have a look around at existing code to see whether it would benefit from this new form and if so in what way. For example, code that uses Core and contains 'match Option.try_with' (or Result or Or_error instead of Option) might be worth looking at.
gasche (administrator)
2014-02-11 14:15
A problem with that syntax is that it worsens the (already-existing) "dangling with" issues:
match v1 with
| p1 -> ...
| p2 -> match v2 with
| p3 -> ...
| p4 -> ...
with exception
| p5 -> ...
| p6 -> ...
Otherwise I feel both proposals are reasonable, and would be a net improvement over the statu quo (having none). Given that there already is a patch for the not-split syntax, I would tend to favor it (it's better if we can converge to a single consensual proposal).
gasche (administrator)
2014-02-11 14:30
I feel that the patch lacks a testsuite exercising the feature. I just
considered trying to tweak a few things in the new patch, but the lack
of correctness feedback is discouraging.
Some remarks, then:
- I regret that you partition clauses at the parsing stage, because
that means -dsource, and -dtypedtree even more, will be unable to
print the code in a style isomorphic to what the user wrote. I would
keep the clause list unsplit in the parsetree, and even in the
typedtree if it doesn't obfuscate code too much (I don't see why
it would); in fact it could even simplify the patch
- we want to handle the case where there are exception clauses, and
the scrutinee is a tuple; my implementation idea was to implement
the binding+staticcatch wrapping logic as a combinator taking a code
generation continuation
bmillwood (reporter)
2014-02-11 15:32
I don't really see the dangling situation worsened very much, since you pretty much already need to enclose nested matches in begin...end.
But yes, "the patch is already written" is a major argument in favour of the other syntax :) I don't object to it particularly.

Yes, of course, the concrete syntax would remain backward compatible, but the changes to the Parsetree would be more invasive, thus potentially requiring more work on external tools which operate on this representation.
Generally speaking, extending "algebraic" categories (i.e. sum types) in the Parsetree plays nicer with external tools than extending record types or tuples.
frisch (developer)
2014-04-02 23:05
It would be great to have this feature in 4.02, whose feature freeze date might come soon (in one month or so, it seems).
Any volunteer to apply the suggested changes? Namely:
- Writing a testsuite.
- Minimizing impact on the parsetree and doing the split between the two kinds of clauses during type-checking, by adding a case to the algebra of patterns. (So that further extensions, allowing e.g. to mix value and exception patterns, or supporting exception patterns under lazy, won't require any change to the parsetree.)
yallop (developer)
2014-04-03 00:52
Thanks for the prompt. I have a testsuite, which I'll add to the patch shortly.
With regard to the changes to the parsetree, I agree that the current implementation is less than ideal. The two arguments against it that I find most convincing are:
(1) (Alain's) that it will require further significant changes to support things like 'lazy exception PAT'
(2) (Gabriel's) that it breaks pretty printing, since it discards the original structure of the code
I'm certainly happy to change the representation to address these. The two proposals, both of which would fix these problems, are
(a) to extend the pattern algebra with 'exception PAT'. This has the advantage of minimising the initial impact on external tools. The potential drawback is that it makes the representation less 'tight': since 'exception' is invalid in most pattern contexts, we may end up checking for exception patterns and signalling errors all over the place, both in the compiler and eventually in external tools as well.
(b) to distinguishing 'value' patterns from 'effect' or 'computation' patterns. This has the advantage of representing exactly where 'exception PAT' can occur in the AST. The potential drawback is that it adds duplication: we'd need to support things like 'or' patterns for both value and effect patterns.
It might be worth implementing both approaches to determine how much of a nuisance the potential drawbacks actually turn out to be.
The other change that's needed is support for the the special handling of tuple matches, as Gabriel points out.
frisch (developer)
2014-04-03 12:03
Thanks Jeremy.
My intuition is that (a) is better, because it avoids the need to introduce new syntactic categories (which requires to extend e.g. the signature of ast mapper objects and adds complexity to the grammar definition). Moreover, (b) would make it harder to give nice error messages (or you would need to extend the parser with rules to detect a syntactically valid pattern, but used in a wrong context), while it would come naturally in the type-checker (to make pattern matching exhaustive).
gasche (administrator)
2014-04-05 11:17
|A remark on pretty-printing: I've since found out that many other parts of the parsetree are treated as lossy desugaring and won't pretty-print in the way they were first written (for example "fun x -> fun y -> ..."). I don't think we should require new features to respect a roundtrip constraint that isn't currently respected, and for which there are no strong incentives right now -- nobody uses -dsource, basically, and it's often useless as it removes comments and whitespace.
frisch (developer)
2014-04-07 17:36
|I agree with Gabriel, but I still see a lot of values of minimizing the impact on the Parsetree definition. It's better if all syntactic tools which need to inspect pattern matchings don't need to deal with "exception" cases specifically, and they won't have to be adapted if/when "exception" is allowed in more contexts.

I've updated the patch with the testsuite. The full diff is here:
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml/compare/3775a101e6...handler-syntax [^]
and the testsuite is here:
https://github.com/ocamllabs/ocaml/commit/cbcccb52 [^]
I've extended the special-casing of tuple matches to the new syntax, so that the following sort of thing doesn't allocate:
match (a, b) with
(x, y) -> e1
| exception E -> e2
I've partly implemented the proposal for extended the pattern algebra rather than the Pexp_match constructor, but not yet included it in the patch. I'm not sure how to best implement (e.g.) Typecore.type_cases, which expects to a single set of cases with a single argument type, without doing more violence to the current code than I'm comfortable with. Suggestions welcomed.
The patch is also rebased against trunk.
frisch (developer)
2014-04-25 09:32
Thanks Jeremy!
In Typecore.type_approx, you seem to use the first exn-case to get the approximation. Shouldn't you use the first val-case instead?
> I'm not sure how to best implement (e.g.) Typecore.type_cases
I'd simply do the same as what Parser.partition_handler_cases does, i.e. define a function which splits the list of cases stored in the parsetree into two lists (and removes the "exception" wrappers). Something like:
let split_cases vc ec = function
| [] -> List.rev vc, List.rev ec
| {pc_lhs = {ppat_desc=Ppat_exception p}} as c :: rest ->
split_cases vc ({c with pc_lhs = p} :: ec) rest
| c :: rest ->
split_cases (c :: vc) ec rest
yallop (developer)
2014-04-25 11:56
> you seem to use the first exn-case to get the approximation
Good point. Of course, the types of val and exn cases will be the same, but the list of exn cases may be empty, so it's better to use the val cases for type approximation.
> I'd simply do the same as what Parser.partition_handler_cases does
Indeed, it's straightforward to split the cases into two lists and type those separately. The awkward part comes when they need to be put back together afterwards. I can see three possibilities:
(1) Keep track of the original positions of the cases during partitioning, then use the positions to reassemble the combined list after typing. This is the best way to maintain the original structure of the AST, but makes the code in the type checker rather awkward.
(2) Leave the typed tree as it currently is in the patch (i.e. with separate fields for val and exn cases).
(3) Change the typed tree to use a single list of cases, but make no attempt to recover the original case ordering.
Do you have a preference?
frisch (developer)
2014-04-25 12:23
|I don't have a strong preference. While keeping the Parsetree simple and stable is important (because of -ppx in particular), I think we have more freedom for the Typedtree, so I think the simplest solution (probably 2) would be ok for now. We can always refine that later, it's unlikely to break many tools.
yallop (developer)
2014-04-25 23:48
Leaving the Typedtree as it is makes things much easier. Here's the latest patch, which extends the pattern algebra rather than Pexp_match:

Gujarat to generate energy from waste in 50 cities: Modi
Gandhinagar – Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi Thursday said his government will run a pilot project in 50 cities to generate power, fertilizer and reusable water by setting up solid waste management plants.
Modi told an event here that the power, reusable water and fertilizers generated by these plants will be provided to rural areas for usage in agriculture.
"This is a part of a two-way strategy in which both urban as well as rural areas gain," Modi said while addressing Vibrant Gujarat's National Summit on Inclusive Urban Development.
"This will also stem the flow of migrants into urban areas as these steps will result in the long term development of rural areas," he said.
"This way even any future conflicts arising out of sharing of resources between urban and rural areas will be averted. The fertilizer, energy and reusable water generated out of this will also help in cutting the usage of expensive chemical fertilizers and help in promoting organic farming."
Modi further said that the subsidy provided to farmers to buy fertilizers and power can be used to fund similar projects or bridge finance the existing ones.
Taking a dig at the central government, Modi said he had suggested the same model to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, which he thought could have been implemented in around 500 cities across India.
However, the plans never saw the light of the day. Modi said he will first implement them in his home state.
Modi said the waste management plants will be erected out of a 'PPPP' — 'people public private partnership' — model.
Modi said the Gujarat government will work with Japanese agencies for development of some of these plants by utilising cutting edge technology from Japan.
Modi said the country should give up pessimistic mindset and look at urbanisation as an opportunity in which new infrastructure, employment and energy and water efficient based cities can be developed.
"We have to think of it (urbanisation) not as a challenge but an opportunity. We have to develop policy, solutions and ideas for the urbanisation of the future," Modi said.
"For this we would require institutions to impart proper training to our manpower, new technologies that will make governance, policing and other essential services being easily delivered to people."
Modi added that more technically trained staff was required to run the civic operations in cities.
"We required engineers and trained manpower, and slowly we started to engage more of these category of workforce in our civic bodies which resulted in better delivery of services to people."
In recent years, Gujarat has taken steps to develop urban amenities such as bus rapid transport (BRT) systems in various cities, urban poor housing colonies and water supply infrastructure.
The state has plans to develop the Gujarat International Finance Tec-City (GIFT City), river and lake front development for tourism promotion and employment generation, and making a urban social security net.
The day-long meet draw thousands of crowds, urban planning experts, administrators and city municipal corporation staff from Japan, Bhutan, Colombia, the Philippines and Sri Lanka besides 132 Indian cities.

So, you're sitting at a lovely restaurant, one that you've frequented for years. The ambiance is perfect, and the service is great. You scan the menu with its always new and scrumptious selections, and you place your order.
The server brings your appetizer, a delectable dish of oysters Rockefeller topped with pieces of succulent, sweet lobster. The server then presents your salad, an over-the-top blend of crisp veggies and fruit with just the right amount of a chef-created, mouth-watering dressing.
The server returns when the entrée is due to arrive and says, in an oh-so-professional voice, "For the next, main part of your meal, please go to La Electracom restaurant two blocks down the street." What???
Or you're sitting in a stadium. It's a perfect day — not too hot, not too cold — in great seats. It's about the halfway point of the game, and your team is winning by a hair. Suddenly all action on the field stops, and the announcer comes over the P.A. system saying, "Ladies and Gentlemen! Thank you so much for coming today! To view the remainder of the game and find out who wins, please log onto WhoWonTheGame.com." Are you out of your mind???
Now I know those scenarios are a bit extreme, but they are meant to bring focus to what's happening all too much, particularly to the print industry (the Chestnut Hill Local excluded).
I subscribe to many magazines and newspapers. I look forward to reading the articles, recipes and tips. But what's up with the increase in the "Well, that's all we're gonna tell you here. For more details, please visit us at www.blah-blah-blah.com." Publishers seem to have this unfortunate misconception that:
• Absolutely everyone has a computer, an iPhone, an iPad, and
• They all use those devices 24/7.
Well, publishers, they don't and … they don't!
I talk to people from all walks of life, all the time, from their 20s to their 80s who either don't have a computer or other internet-ready device at all; or have a computer because someone told them they should, but they never use it; or use a computer just for work and are too busy with life to sit in front of it past work hours.
A large portion of the population favors printed material. It's called a newspaper. It's called a magazine. It's called a book. It's NOT called a dot com!
Take a train sometime — a short suburbs-to-city run or a longer state-to-state trek. You'll see plenty of people reading. The majority are not holding an eReader or an iPad. They're holding a newspaper, a magazine, a book, and they're turning those pages manually. That's their choice.
I think publishers of printed materials have been sold a bill-of-goods by the makers of computers, computer software and internet devices. Publishers have been told that "absolutely everybody wants online everything!" And "Mr. Publisher, you'd better get onboard, or nobody's gonna read what you're putting out there!"
I say the reading world is not evolving as fast as the technology world would have us believe. It's time to step back and take a more realistic look. Sure, put information out there on the Web, but don't short-count your loyal, hardcopy readers by providing only half of the story.
Readers who are continually getting to the "end" of an article or story, only to find that it's not really the end and they need to log on to get the rest of it will, one-by-one, say, "Nah … forget it. I'll just read something else that is in hardcopy print." Publishers, is it really worth the risk?

European Commission
Algirdas Šemeta
Commissioner responsible for Taxation and Customs Union, Audit and Anti-fraud
Speech: Speaking points on Financial Transaction tax
ECOFIN PRESS CONFERENCE /Brussels
22 January 2013
Ladies and gentlemen,
Today's agreement to allow 11 Member States to move ahead with a harmonised Financial Transaction tax is a major milestone.
It is for milestone for EU tax policy, as it paves the way for more ambitious Member States to progress on a tax file, even when unanimity could not be achieved.
Those who want to move ahead, and who appreciate the merits of working more closely on taxation at EU-level, can do so.
This is a highly significant and very welcome advance.
But today is also a milestone in global tax history.
For the first time ever, the Financial Transaction Tax will be applied at regional level.
A block representing around 2/3 of EU GDP will implement this fair tax together, answering the long-time calls of their citizens.
And in doing so, they can pave the way for others to do the same.
It should be remembered that, under enhanced cooperation, other Member States can sign up at any time.
Some have already expressed potential interest in doing so. And I would encourage any Member State that is considering the FTT to climb on board.
Because there is everything to gain from being part of an EU approach to the financial transactions tax.
The considerable new revenues it will generate can be used for growth-friendly investment, and to support wider policy commitments such as development.
Taxation will become fairer, as the financial sector makes a proper contribution to public finances and the costs of the crisis.
And the Single Market will be strengthened, as a patchwork of national approaches is replaced with one harmonised FTT. This can only make life easier for businesses, by reducing compliance costs and increasing legal certainty.
With the same commitment that the Commission has always shown on this file, we are ready to react swiftly to today's green light for enhanced cooperation.
I will present the substantive proposal on the FTT within the next few weeks – drawing largely on our original proposal, as has been requested of us. It will then be for these 11 Member States to take the reins, and discuss and agree this FTT they want to implement.
Tax Evasion / Avoidance
Today was also a chance to present the Action Plan on Tax Fraud and Evasion which the Commission adopted in December.
You will remember that this consisted of over 30 measures to tackle evasion and avoidance, including a tougher EU stance against tax havens and measures to fight aggressive tax planning.
I am delighted that the Irish Presidency has given high priority to making progress on this file.
Tackling tax evasion carries a double dividend. Not only can it help recapture some of the €1 trillion a year we are losing in public revenues, but it will ensure fairer taxation at individual, corporate, Member State and global level.
It is a battle that must be fought with a united front. So I would urge Finance Ministers to swiftly endorse and implement the stronger EU approach I have put forward.
While the major theme of our tax discussions today was greater EU-level action, the point we had on the AGS also served as a reminder that there is important work to be done at national level too.
In November, I outlined the key objectives that Member States should follow for growth-friendly, competitive and fair taxation.
There is good consensus on this approach, which I hope will translate into effective national tax reforms.
Finally, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Minister Noonan and the Irish Presidency.
Not only have they delivered an excellent result at the first ECOFIN of the year, but they have set out an ambitious yet well-balanced tax agenda for the Council over the next 6 months.
I look forward to working closely together with them in delivering more successes.

Sun hit the road
Mohegan - The Connecticut Sun play at the Tulsa Shock tonight.
There's no telling which Sun team will show up at the BOK Center (8 p.m., CPTV Sports).
Connecticut (8-10) is on a four-game losing streak. It had won six straight prior to the losing streak. It lost six of its first eight before that winning streak.
The road has owned the Sun this season as they're 1-6. Nine of their next 11 games will be on the road.
Such futility certainly makes Connecticut's three-game road trip seem daunting, but this WNBA season has been all about uncertainty. Only three of the 12 teams have winning records. The Sun are one of eight teams with a losing record.
Connecticut has been as confounding as any team, too. The good - it's the only team to beat the two conference leaders, the Atlanta Dream and Phoenix Mercury.
The bad - the Sun missed 11 first-half layups during Tuesday's home loss to the San Antonio Stars (74-71). They also fell behind 12-0 and 19-4 in the first quarter in Thursday's home loss to Tulsa (96-83).
"We watched their game at New York (on Tuesday), and New York just took it right at them (and won, 90-74)," Sun coach Anne Donovan said. "(New York) attacked the paint; put them on their heels right from the jump. That's what our game plan was to do and unfortunately, that's what they did to us."
Rookie Odyssey Sims scored 30 for the Shock (7-10). Skylar Diggins added 20 points.
Connecticut, to its credit, rallied back and took a one-point lead in both the second and third quarters.
Those leads lasted a combined 32 seconds for the Sun.
"We scratched and clawed," Donovan said. "We came back a couple of times and tied the game, but little things, like box outs - actually it's not a little thing when you end up giving up 17 (offensive rebounds), it ends up being a huge thing - but it's about focus. We talked about how this was the number one team, right up there one or two, in offensive boards, and (Tulsa center) Courtney Paris is a load. She works her butt off for those boards. We have to do a better job."
The Shock ransacked Connecticut on the boards, 42-27. That allowed them to earn a 25-9 advantage on second-chance points.
Not good.
The Sun's offense also continued to go out of commission for long stretches, in particular what was a lost first quarter. They missed 13 of their first 15 shots, including five layups.
Connecticut had just four points in the first 8 minutes and 14 seconds.
"I said postgame and during the game, we have to do a better job - the five starters - of coming in ready to play," Sun veteran Katie Douglas said. "We've dug ourselves holes. And any time you dig yourself a hole in the WNBA, you're going to exert a lot of energy and effort to come back and we're not that good, to be honest, to be digging ourselves a hole against good teams right now.

This comparison only looks at the expected savings for those who use their trucks for business and pleasure. It doesn't take into account the convenience, safety, or efficiency that a TITAN Tank offers.
On a cost-basis alone, a TITAN Tank will pay for itself within 1-3 years, depending how you use your truck.
If you drive about 50,000 miles per year, get 15 mpg, and estimate you can save about 12 cents per gallon* by buying when the price is right, in the first year you will save $400 in fuel and $670 in labor for a total of $1,070 (factoring your time to be worth about $25 per hour).
If you drive about 20,000 miles per year, estimate your time at $15 per hour (average between time spent for business $30 and personal $0), you will save $160 in fuel and $160 in labor for a total of $320 in the first year.

As the featured speaker for the Leonard Finkelhor Lecture this year, Robert Ross, Ph.D., assistant professor of global cultural studies, will tell the story of the simultaneous growth of professional baseball and the American Labor Movement in his presentation "The Men Who Do the Work: Baseball, Labor and the Rise and Fall of the 1890 Players' League."
The Finkelhor Lecture is part of the Sixth Annual Faculty Recognition Exhibition and will take place on Thursday, April 18, 2013 at 3 p.m. in the Lawrence Hall ballroom.
In his lecture, Ross will fuse sports history with labor history, explain general principals and problems of modern economics and provide new insights into the sports, arts and entertainment industries.
"This story focuses on the struggle between baseball's capitalists and its labor force. But just as importantly, it also reveals the conflicted relationship between the Players' League's on-field workers and the off-field workers who built their new ballparks," said Ross.
Ross is a geographer whose teaching and research interests center on the geographies of capitalism. His areas of specialty include the Middle East and North America. Prior to teaching at Point Park, Ross served as a visiting assistant professor at the American University of Beirut and as a part-time instructor at Syracuse University and West Chester University of Pennsylvania.
The Finkelhor Lecture is open to the public. For more information, contact email@example.com.

Generation Earth
Generation Earth is about redefining the delivery of natural health care alternatives for children and making them more accessible to parents and kids. It will be associated with natural health care products (herbal/homeopathic/nutritional) to increase kids health and provide "natural remedies for common ailments in kids". Education campaigns will also play a major part in promoting children's health and prevention of disease.
While aimed at kids health (boys and girls) , the product will be purchased by parents and carers (probably mostly females) so it needs to have appeal to both children and parents. The majority of the adult target group will be well educated, professional, middle to high income earners however it needs to appeal to all. Initially it will be marketed in Australia and New Zealand, however it may go further afield in the future.

GAZA CITY — The bombardment seemed nearly constant: more than 250 airstrikes that blew out windows, peppered buildings with shrapnel and rattled nerves. But Gaza Strip residents said Israel's targets appeared chosen primarily to send a message.
Israeli forces and the Islamist movement Hamas exchanged fire Friday for a third day, and appeared to inch closer to all-out conflict. A visit by Egypt's prime minister failed to bring even a temporary lull in the fighting. And Palestinian militants continued to press Israel's limits, for the first time firing two homemade rockets in the direction of Jerusalem.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Security Cabinet approved a "considerable intensification of the operation" Friday night, including expanding the call-up of Israeli reservists to 75,000, according to a government official. Deputy Foreign Minister Danny Ayalon said a ground invasion of Gaza could be launched in a matter of days if rocket attacks on Israel didn't stop.
PHOTOS: Israel-Gaza violence escalates
But as Israel considers its next move, it faces an array of unpalatable choices. So far the campaign has been carried out methodically with strikes against Hamas leaders and weapons depots, avoiding the kind of operations that might incur heavy casualties.

Local business come together to give back
One Ionia family will get a Christmas gift that will make their lives easier, thanks to a number of area businesses that are coming together to give back.
S&P Auto Body, C&S Automotive, N&N Aftermarket Parts, Geldhof Tire, Caswell RV, Fred Haight Insurance, Home Experts, Riverside Auto Wash and All Seasons Insurance Agency will be giving away a free 2001 Pontiac Grand Prix SE to a family in need.
"We wanted to do this because the Ionia community has supported us," said Bill Sain of S&P Auto Body, who came up with the idea.
He said he went to a number of local business for help with the contest and none hesitated to join, offering services, parts or a monetary donation.
"Everybody is really throwing in a lot," Sain added. "It's going to be like a brand new car."
He said he was impressed by the outpouring of assistance from the businesses, which tells him other business owners want to focus on a bigger picture.
"It's about giving back, it's not about competition," Sain said.
Rick Poole of S&P said he is looking for community members to submit letters on behalf of someone deserving of a Christmas blessing. Letters should include the person's name, address, phone number and how that person has been a blessing in their neighborhood or touched the life of the writer.
"We want them to know people care," said Poole, adding he hopes the gift also will give the recipient hope for the future.
All letters must be turned in to S&P by Dec. 18. Once all submissions have been collected, Sain and Poole said they will narrow the nominees to a few finalists for voting.
Community members will be able to vote on the finalists by "liking" the Facebook page of S&P Auto Body, and then "liking" the posted letter. The letter with the most votes will receive the vehicle sometime around Christmas day.
Poole and Sain said they are looking forward to surprising the winner and hope the recipient will use the car for necessary transportation purposes.
For more information, call S&P Auto Body at 616-522-9444. S&P Auto Body is located at 470 Price St. in Ionia.

Morton Feldman's "Triadic Memories"
The Great Hall, King's College London
United Kingdom
Tickets: Free!
Luke Berryman
Triadic Memories is a vast single-movement work lasting approximately two hours. Like other works of the composer's final years, it's closely related to the aesthetics of Mark Rothko's paintings, and is characterised by stasis and extremely quiet dynamics. The unusual title refers partly to Feldman's attempt to evoke memory itself: listening to this piece is like flicking through an old photograph album. Its delicate, slowly-shifting harmonies reach toward an experience lost in time. It was perhaps this fragility that led the composer to describe the piece as 'the largest butterfly in captivity'.
Triadic Memories has only been performed a handful of times across the world, and the programme also features Karlheinz Stockhausen's evergreen Klavierst�ck IX.

Brahms composed his Tragic Overture while on holiday in 1880, writing that 'I could not refuse my melancholy nature the satisfaction of composing an overture for a tragedy'. Whether or not Brahms had a particular tragedy in mind remains a mystery, but the Overture encompasses imposing, turbulent ideas, poignant lyricism and memorable rhythms. Chopin�s Piano Concerto No.2 boasts one of his best-loved movements, the irresistibly romantic Larghetto, framed by an animated, intricate opening movement and a lively finale in the style of Polish folk-music. Beethoven�s expansive �Pastoral� Symphony is a magnificent mixture of charm and innovation, brimming with evocative melodies which create a vivid impression of the countryside in all its majesty.

JS Bach�s work is so powerful � and has been so influential - perhaps because of his ability to write music that provokes a profound emotional response at the same time as being highly intellectually satisfying.
While Steve Reich�s series of solo instrument counterpoints are no direct homage to Bach, they are a contemporary expression of some of those compositional techniques that Bach so brilliantly mastered and used to powerful effect, as shown in his solo instrumental sonatas which are performed alongside. Reich�s soloist performs pulsed and fragmented musical phrases that are echoed, interlocked and sustained by a pre-recorded tape line. The listener is left picking out new melodic patterns that emerge from the resulting mutil-layered, hugely satisfying canonic textures.
Openly inspired by Bach�s Brandenburg Concertos, Igor Stravinsky�s own reinvention of the baroque concerto was written for performance in the magnificent music room of Dumbarton Oaks, a house outside Washington DC. The music�s figurations, sonorities and counterpoints all echo Bach, but without any plagiarism. Stravinsky�s arrangement of four preludes and fugues from The Well-Tempered Clavier (the last thing the composer worked on) is another kind of homage � a re-orchestration of Bach�s music using the colour palette of modern instruments

Takemitsu was a pivotal figure in opening up an authentic creative dialogue between Western and Japanese music. When he retreated to his mountain villa to write November Steps, significantly, he took Debussy�s Jeux with him. The result was a haunting, twilit masterpiece which employs the shakahuchii and biwa, to be performed here beside works of Takemitsu�s contemporaries (Akira Miyoshi, Toshio Hosokawa) and of the next generation, including Dai Fujikura, who trained almost entirely in the UK and only discovered his native traditional instruments in Europe. His high-octane orchestral writing is both streetwise, humorous and sophisticated, while French-based Misato Mochizuki has devised her Musubi (Knot) from a traditional celebratory dance, but has also utilised techno dance music and gagaku in her work . Film has been an important medium for these composers, and Takemitsu�s film scores are explored in our first event. Don�t miss, too, the rare opportunity to hear a unique Fusion Project, in which traditional Japanese instrumentalists play alongside members of the BBC Symphony Orchestra.

The BBC Singers conjure up a series of musical seascapes at St Paul's Knightsbridge. Maritime subjects - real and imaginary, triumphant and tragic - have always been a source of fascination for poets and composers, and in this concert the BBC Singers present a programme of sea-themed works from Coleridge-Taylor, Bantock, Richard Rodney Bennett and two Renaissance masters. The tragic Canticum Calamitatis Maritimae by Finnish composer Mantyjarvi was composed after the sinking of the MS Estonia and the loss of over 800 lives at sea in 1994, while Steve Martland's new Sea Songs (here receiving its English premiere) references a range of sea songs and texts.

Free Spirits is the first of our themed seasons. It brings together two of the greatest operas of the 20th century, Jan�ček�s The Cunning little Vixen and Berg�s Lulu. Both pieces pose profound questions about how much freedom we desire and how much we can tolerate and still remain a functioning society.
She is a vision of freedom too pure to be allowed to last.
Everyone is drawn to Lulu, intoxicated by her; those in her thrall are like moths to a flame. Her flame burns bright and fast but sooner or later it will be extinguished by the very things it once fed upon.
Berg�s second and final opera is a masterpiece � total theatre. Anyone wishing to see the greatest works in the repertoire must include Lulu in their list. Few composers invite their audiences unflinchingly to confront humanity�s darkest regions in the way that Berg does here. Lulu promises a shattering but rewarding experience for those who encounter it.
Welsh National Opera has an important association with this great composer�s work: WNO gave the first British performances of Lulu in the 1970s and won acclaim and awards for our 2005 production of Wozzeck. David Pountney is one of the world�s most influential opera directors. This production of Lulu is his first new production in his role as our Chief Executive and Artistic Director.
Supported by the WNO Partnership, the WNO Lulu Circle and The John S Cohen Foundation. Spring 2013 Season supported by a lead gift from the Colwinston Charitable Trust.

Every day, the airmen of Sheppard Air Force Base work and train no matter what the weather holds. Because texoma's weather can be quite violent at times, much of their training is simply about what to do in a worst case scenario. Lieutenant Colonel Vincent Hibdon, Chief of the Installation Excercise Program said, "Here at Sheppard Airforce Base, we take training and excercises very seriously. We have upwards of 20,000 airmen in training here, most of whom have never been to a permanent duty station and may have never been exposed to this type of weather."
The air force base even has its own weather department to help make decisions whenever severe weather is in the area. On days where pilots are training in the air, that information becomes vital. Captain Steffen Haack of the German Air Force said, "They would try to get their best guess. Obviously, it's always a trade-off in between... do we stop flying early because there could be something happening or do we continue to do our mission because there's a slight chance. It's always a trade-off and we try to do that as best as we can, obviously with safety in mind."
If a severe thunderstorm looks like it's heading right toward the base, ground personnel immediately take action. Don Buechler, Dynacore International Contractor for the 80th Flying Training Wing stated, "The basic is... we will chain em' down as we can. Sometimes, we'll stop them on the spot if we have to, depending on how close they are, shut the aircraft down, and get the pilots out. The primary thing is to get the pilots back to safety."
Many of the safety procedures used at Sheppard today are based on past experiences dealing with severe weather. The most notable event for sheppard was the 1964 tornado which carved a path right through the base itself. Newschannel 6 was even able to catch the tornado live on camera. Todd Schroeder, 82nd Training Wing Historian said, "The path was going from the southwest to the northeast. Again, they had about 20 minutes of warning and it hit what they basically called the hospital area. There was the hospital, a lot of the hospital dorms, orderly rooms, there were some warehouses in that area, and it continued onto the western edge of the mechanic or flightline aircraft training area and severely damaged a hanger there."
Given such short notice that a tornado was threatening the base, the airmen were left with few options. Schroeder said, "What they did is they moved people to tornado shelters as best they could. On the flightline, where the hangers were at, in the center of the hangers, they have concrete cinder blocks, office spaces, so they moved a lot of the people in there."
Still, 82nd training wing historian todd schroeder says it could've been much worse. Schroeder added, "One of the fortunate things at that time is it happened on a Friday afternoon. So, most of the people were still at work. A lot of the students were still at school. So, therefore, we could reach the base populace pretty quickly."
As forecasts, tracking methods, and technology have greatly improved over the years, so have the basic safety procedures used at sheppard. Hibdon said, "Every building has a designated shelter in it. It's usually an interior hallway, lowest level possible, and everybody in the building knows where that is. We also have communications set up in those areas so we can communicate throughout the entire base."

Face it. Summer is gone. The colder temperatures of fall are moving in, daylight savings is lurking just around the corner, and, if you're like me, stepping out of a warm bed and into the cold morning is not the ideal way to wake up. All drama aside, riding my bike is simply too much fun to have to give it up for months at a time. So, what's the best way to keep riding? Personally, it comes down to simply making the time to get on the bike, even if it's only for a quick 45 minutes on the trail. Sure, I'd love to spend 2-3 hours out there, but I find that a little time on the bike beats no time on the bike, hands down.
Here at the Performance Bike office, we have an ideal situation for cyclists where riding during the lunch hour is encouraged and supported. We've got lockers, showers, tools, and even bike stands in the office. It's a great culture, but, sadly, one that does not really exist outside of the bike industry. Finding the time to ride is half the battle, and that's ultimately going to depend on your schedule.
So, if you can find your riding windows, how do you ease into the cold and keep at it until the Spring blooms appear? Riding in the cold requires a bit of extra effort–you've got to pack more clothes in your gear bag and consider layering so that you can keep comfortable. Plus, you have to be extra aware of the amount of daylight left in the day so that you don't get stranded. Of course, a little technology doesn't hurt. Wind and water resistant tights, jerseys and jackets, toe covers, and skull caps are crucial if you want to stay comfortable on your rides. We just published a web article, Dressing for the Cold, that suggests what to wear at different temperature ranges.
In the next few months, don't give up. Suit up, make the time, and keep riding. Sooner or later, it's going to have to warm up. Plus, the more you ride in cooler weather, the easier it gets.
I'm curious as to how other riders approach the cold weather season. Please feel free to leave your tips and tricks as a comment below.

What do you do when you're kidnapped and imprisoned in a mystical building that has itself been kidnapped by forces unknown? Well, if you're the cast of upcoming DC/Vertigo series House of Mystery, you open a bar. Talking about the book at Wondercon's Vertigo panel, co-writer Bill Willingham (the other writer is Matt Sturges, his co-writer on Jack of Fables) gave us the lowdown.
The book will be an ongoing mystery about the kidnapped people in the kidnapped house, as well as anthology-style one-off tales by guest creators each issue. But this won't be a series of frustrating non-endings:
The difference between this series and something like Lost or The X-Files is that we know what the answers to each of these mysteries are, and in our time and your time, they will be revealed.

Injun Joe's friend said that he wanted more money, meanwhile Injun Joe's other friend was asleep. Injun Joe didn't want to pay more money. So he stabbed his friend and then put his knife in his other friend's hand. Tom and Huck saw all that and ran as fast as they could to get away.
There was a trial the next day and Tom and Injun Joe were there. Tom told the court who had killed Injun Joe's friend. Then Injun Joe ran away. Tom thought that Injun Joe would try to hurt him, so he ran away too! Read the book to find out what happens to Tom!
I really liked the illustrations in this book because they were detailed. The book I read was an old version that had great drawings that were colored and black and white.
My favorite part was when Tom and Huck were hiding in the back of the church and everyone was inside crying because they were sad that they had run away. Then Tom and Huck came out and everybody hugged them!
I liked this book because it was very funny. For example when Tom's aunt gave him a treat and as he walked out he also hooked a doughnut. Tom also tricked kids into whitewashing the fence for him.
I recommend this book to 3rd, 4th and 5th graders because it is very funny and it has a lot of great vocabulary!

Notre Dame remains top rival for UConn women
3 top games
1. Dec. 6 at Notre Dame (Jimmy V Classic): This is the top rivalry in the sport. Irish coach Muffet McGraw said at the Final Four in April that it would be difficult at this point for any civility to return to the rivalry. The teams have met 16 times since Jan. 16, 2010 (UConn leads 9-7), including in the Final Four in each of the past four seasons. The Huskies routed the Irish 79-58 in the NCAA tournament final in Nashville.
2. Feb. 9 vs. South Carolina: The Gamecocks have been a program on the rise for a number of years now behind coach Dawn Staley. They won the SEC regular-season championship and earned a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament for the first time last season. Led by junior All-American Tiffany Mitchell, senior Aleighsa Welch and sophomore Alaina Coates, they return all five starters and welcome the nation's No. 2 recruiting class that features A'ja Wilson.
3. Nov. 17 at Stanford: The two-time defending champion Huskies will receive an early test on the back end of a two-game, West Coast trip to open the season. UConn defeated the Cardinal in the national semifinals last season, and the teams have met 10 times over the past seven seasons, with four games coming at the Final Four. Stanford will be looking to overcome the loss of All-American Chiney Ogwumike.
3 top opposing players
1. 5-foot-10 Jr. G Jewell Loyd (Notre Dame): She led the Irish in scoring (18.6), steals (1.6) and minutes (29.8) and averaged 6.5 rebounds and 2.1 assists last season in being named a WBCA All-American and an Associated Press second-team All-American. Loyd was also an All-ACC first team and an All-ACC Defensive Team pick and was honored as the ACC Tournament Most Valuable Player. It is expected that she will be in the conversation for National Player of the Year honors.
2. 5-9 Jr. G Tiffany Mitchell (South Carolina): She led the Gamecocks in scoring (15.5), assists (3.5), steals (1.8), 3-point shooting percentage (.541, 40-of-74) and minutes (31.4) and also averaged 5.6 rebounds last season. And her collective performance did not go unnoticed as Mitchell was named a WBCA All-American, an Associated Press third-team All-American and the SEC Player of the Year. She was also selected to the All-SEC first team and to the SEC All-Defensive Team.
3. 6-3 Sr. C Elizabeth Williams (Duke): She averaged 13.8 points, 2.2 assists, 1.3 steals and team-highs of 7.6 rebounds and 3.1 blocks in 30.5 minutes last season. Williams was named an Associated Press third-team All-American, the ACC Defensive Player of the Year and was selected to the All-ACC first team and All-ACC Defensive Team. This season we will find out just how talented she is with the Blue Devils losing leading scorer Tricia Liston, Chelsea Gray, Haley Peters and Richa Jackson to graduation and the transfer of Alexis Jones to Baylor.

When I was the president of my local county's bike club, I spent a lot of time making sure all of our riders obeyed traffic signals and I also spent a lot of time pleading with passing cyclists who blew through the signals, asking them to obey stop signs and stop lights. I've heard lots of replies from the cyclists I advocated to, mostly telling me to go screw myself.
This photo, posted by my cycling friend Sue says it better than I ever could. This is what's left on the scene after a cyclist blew through a stop sign at Rockland Lake, a nearby park.
She added "…they were not wearing a helmet…The smell of all that blood was something I didn't expect"
Wear your helmet. Stop at stop signs. Obey signals. Or you might end up leaving a puddle behind.
