Excerpt from If I Die in A Combat Zone
About Tim O'Brien
is nothing to laugh at, not if it is proper courage and exercised by men who
know what they do is proper. Proper courage is wise courage. It's acting
wisely, acting wisely when fear would have a man act otherwise. It is the endurance
of the soul in spite of fear—wisely."
-Tim O'Brien, If I Die in A Combat Zone
The 2005-2006 Common Experience engages students in a campus-wide discussion of "Courage" as it is examined in the Summer Reading book If I Die in a Combat Zone by Tim O'Brien.
In such books as If I Die in a Combat Zone, The Things They Carried, Going After Cacciato, and even his latest novel July, July, celebrated author and Texas State Mitte Chair of Creative Writing Tim O'Brien probes the experiences of American soldiers in Vietnam.
O'Brien uses Vietnam not just as a setting, but as a metaphor for life. In a published interview, he explains, "You don't have to be in 'nam to be in 'nam . . . You're there and I'm there when things in the world happen that ought not to happen, and we just feel so hopeless and out of control."
The themes and emotions that O'Brien explores in the context of Vietnam are the themes and emotions of human life: friendship, patriotism, duty, sacrifice, leadership, innocence and experience, good and evil, humanity and inhumanity. Arguably the central theme in much of O'Brien's work - a theme he explores with passion and honesty - is Courage. Courage offers a relevant, challenging, and inspiring theme for the 2005-2006 Common Experience.

Modern & Contemporary Documentarians of Mexico
From Héctor García's portentous 1971 photograph of the World Trade Center towers under construction to Eniac Martínez Ulloa's shot of an obviously heated discussion between an immigration agent and a smuggler of undocumented people in Zapata Canyon, these fifty-plus images speak softly and strongly of courage in the arena of human experience.

Celebration of Courage: A Common Experience in the Arts
with Kaysie Seitz Brown, Joey Martin & the Texas State Chorale, Russell Riepe, and Nico Schüler
Lacrimosa for clarinet and piano was written for Dr. David Pino, who first performed this work at Trinity College, London, England. Lacrimosa means tearful, mournful, but it is also the title of the seventh movement of Mozart's Requiem Mass, from which Riepe draws his musical material. In light of the recent destruction caused by Hurricane Katrina, the composer would ask that we recall the literary tragedies of the ancient Greek dramatists and that we study Paul Tillich's resolution or expurgation of tragedy: "Man and nature belong together in their created glory, in their tragedy, and in their salvation." In other words, Tillich suggests self-renewal and going on to a new reality, conquering what is estranged and reuniting what belongs to each other in the power of a spiritual presence.
Music, as one of the most emotional art forms, can not only express the most inner feelings of individuals, but also activate them, and be the origin of acts themselves. The mini-lecture by Dr. Nico Schüler explores the function of music in the fight against Nazism. Specific examples include prisoner's songs in Nazi concentration camps and the 'musical heroism' of German composer Hanning Schröder.
Falling Up is an abstract, primordial piece that portrays a struggle of rising up. The floor is comfortable and rising from it causes a sense of vulnerability. This vulnerable feeling of rising from the floor relates with the vulnerability of falling. The negativity of falling becomes the positive outcome of rising up, overcoming and learning from a challenge, allowing vulnerability to reveal new possibilities.
The Texas State Chorale under the direction of Dr. Joey Martin will be presenting three pieces that celebrate personal courage, sources of strength, and the ability of the human spirit to face, with courage, the unknown. The centerpiece for this performance will be the baritone solo "Matthew Shepherd" by Pulitzer Prize winning composer David Del Tredici. As their final piece, Texas State Chorale will present "The Quest Unending" with text taken from Tennyson's Ullyses ... To hope, to seek, to find, and not to yield.

The Exonerated
A play written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen; Directed by Paige Bishop
Winner of the 2003 Outer Critics Award for Best Off-Broadway play, the Dramatist Guild Award, and The John Gassner Playwriting Award, the playwrights of this incredible play conducted interviews with more than forty exonerated death-row inmates across the nation. It is a dynamic character study of the effect of having one's freedom and future torn away from six of those wrongly accused. It examines how these innocent people survived and reclaimed what was left of their lives and spirit.
On Friday and Saturday (Feb. 10 & 11) there will be a post-show discussion with Joyce Ann Brown, who served over nine years in a Texas prison before being exonerated for a crime she did not commit. Ms. Brown is the author of Justice Denied and is the Executive Director of MASS: Mothers (Fathers) for the Advancement of Social Systems, Inc.

Excerpt from If I Die in a Combat Zone
"It's incredible, it really is, isn't it? Ever think you'd be humping along some crazy-ass trail like this, jumping up and down like a goddamn bullfrog, dodging bullets all day? Back in Cleveland, man, I'd still be asleep." Barney smiled. "You ever see anything like this? Ever?"
"Yesterday," I said.
"Yesterday? Shit, yesterday wasn't nothing like this."
"Snipers yesterday, snipers today. What's the difference?"
"Guess so." Barney shrugged. "Holes in your ass either way, right? But, I swear, yesterday wasn't nothing like this."
"Snipers yesterday, snipers today," I said again.
Barney laughed. "I tell you one thing," he said. "You think this is bad, just wait till tonight. My God, tonight'll be lovely. I'm digging me a foxhole like a basement."
We lay next to each other until the volley of fire stopped. We didn't bother to raise our rifles. We didn't know which way to shoot, and it was all over anyway.
Barney picked up his helmet and took out a pencil and put a mark on it. "See," he said, grinning and showing me ten marks, "that's ten times today. Count them-one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten! Ever been shot at ten times in one day?"
"Yesterday," I said. "And the day before that, and the day before that."
"No way. It's been lots worse today."
"Did you count yesterday?"
"No. Didn't think of it until today. That proves today's worse."
"Well, you should've counted yesterday."
We lay quietly for a time, waiting for the shooting to end, then Barney peeked up. "Off your ass, pal. Company's moving out." He put his pencil away and jumped up like a little kid on a pogo stick. Barney had heart.
I followed him up the trail, taking care to stay a few meters behind him. Barney was not one to worry about land mines. Or snipers. Or dying. He just didn't worry.
"You know," I said, "you really amaze me, kid. No kidding. This crap doesn't get you down, does it?"
"Can't let it," Barney said. "Know what I mean? That's how a man gets himself lethalized."
"Yeah, but--"
"You just can't let it get you down."
It was a hard march and soon enough we stopped the chatter. The day was hot. The days were always hot, even the cool days, and we concentrated on the heat and the fatigue and the simple motions of the march. It went that way for hours. One leg, the next leg. Legs counted the days.
"What time is it?"
"Don't know." Barney didn't look back at me. "Four o'clock maybe."
"Tuckered? I'll hump some of that stuff for you, just give the word."
"No, it's okay. We should stop soon. I'll help you dig that basement."
"Basements, I like the sound. Cold, deep. Basements."
A shrill sound. A woman's shriek, a sizzle, a zipping-up sound. It was there, then it was gone, then it was there again.
"Jesus Christ almighty," Barney shouted. He was already flat on his belly. "You okay?"
"I guess. You?"
"No pain. They were aiming at us that time, I swear. You and me."
"Charlie knows who's after him," I said. "You and me."
Barney giggled. "Sure, we'd give 'em hell, wouldn't we? Strangle the little bastards."
We got up, brushed ourselves off, and continued along the line of march.
The trail linked a cluster of hamlets together, little villages to the north and west of the Batangan Peninsula. Dirty, tangled country. Empty villes. No people, no dogs or chickens. It was a fairly wide and flat trail, but it made dangerous slow curves and was flanked by deep hedges and brush. Two squads moved through the tangles on either side of us, protecting the flanks from close-in ambushes, and the company's progress was slow.
"Captain says we're gonna search one more ville today," Barney said. "Maybe--"
"What's he expect to find?"
Barney shrugged. He walked steadily and did not look back. "Well, what does he expect to find? Charlie?"
"Who knows?"
"Get off it, man. Charlie finds us. All day long he's been shooting us up. How's that going to change?"
"Search me," Barney said. "Maybe we'll surprise him."
"Charlie. Maybe we'll surprise him this time."
"You kidding me, Barney?"
The kid giggled. "Can't never tell. I'm tired, so maybe ol' Charles is tired too. That's when we spring our little surprise."
"Tired," I muttered. "Wear the yellow bastards down, right?"
But Barney wasn't listening.
Soon the company stopped moving. Captain Johansen walked up to the front of the column, conferred with a lieutenant, then moved back. He asked for the radio handset, and I listened while he called battalion headquarters and told them we'd found the village and were about to cordon and search it. Then the platoons separated into their own little columns and began circling the hamlet that lay hidden behind thick brush. This was the bad time: The wait.
"What's the name of this goddamn place?" Barney said. He threw down his helmet and sat on it. "Funny, isn't it? Somebody's gonna ask me someday where the hell I was over here, where the bad action was, and, shit, what will I say?"
"Tell them St. Vith."
"St. Vith," I said. "That's the name of this ville. It's right here on the map. Want to look?"
He grinned. "What's the difference? You say St. Vith, I guess that's it. I'll never remember. How long's it gonna take me to forget your fuckin' name?"

Tim O'Brien
William Timothy O'Brien was born in Austin, Minnesota, in 1946. When he was in the fourth grade, his family moved to Worthington, Minnesota, the "Turkey Capital of the World" as he describes in If I Die in a Combat Zone. O'Brien credits his library-board-member father and his elementary-teacher mother with fostering his love for books and his belief in the power of stories to tell truths. His budding literary interests, plus his devotion to baseball--he played shortstop on a little league team coached by his father--led to O'Brien's first writing attempt at around the age of 10: "Timothy of the Little League"!
At 18, O'Brien left Worthington for Macalaster College in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he majored in political science. He bacame active in campus politics and was elected president of the student body during his senior year. As the Vietnam War escalated during O'Brien's college years, he took part in some minor anti-war demonstrations, but those demonstrations were not yet of the intensity of the protests that would soon rock college campuses--including Texas State, where in 1969, a group of students who became known as "the San Marcos 10" were suspended for engaging in peaceful protest against the war in Vietnam.
The summer after O'Brien graduated from Macalaster, he received his draft notice, and in Februrary 1969, he was sent to Vietnam. He served a 13-month tour of duty, during which he earned a Purple Heart, a Bronze Star (for rescuing a wounded comrade under fire), and the Combat Infantry Badge.
After his discharge from the Army, O'Brien studied American military intervention at Harvard, worked as a journalist for The Washington Post, and continued writing about his war experiences, which he had begun to do while still in Vietnam.
Tim O'Brien is the 2005-2006 Roy F. and Joann Cole Mitte Endowed Chair in Creative Writing at Texas State University, San Marcos. He is the author of If I Die in a Combat Zone, Going After Cacciato, winner of the 1979 National Book Award in fiction, and The Things They Carried, which was named by the New York Times as one of the ten best books of l990, received the Chicago Tribune Heartland Award in fiction, and was a finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Critics Circle Award. In 1993 the French edition of The Things They Carried received the prestigious Prix du Meilleur Livre Etranger. His book In the Lake of the Woods was named by Time magazine as the best novel of 1994. The book also received the James Fenimore Cooper Prize from the Society of American Historians and was selected as one of the ten best books of the year by the New York Times. His other books include Northern Lights; The Nuclear Age; Tomcat in Love; and his most recent novel July, July.
This year's selection for the Summer Reading Series, If I Die in a Combat Zone, is an intensely personal account of his year as a foot soldier in Vietnam. O'Brien takes us with him to experience combat from behind an infantryman's rifle, to walk the minefields of My Lai, to crawl into the ghostly tunnels, and to explore the ambiguities of manhood and morality in a war gone terribly wrong. Beautifully written and searingly heartfelt, If I Die in a Combat Zone is a masterwork of its genre.

Luck results in first-time applicant being drawn for bull tag
QUEHANNA – The 86 individuals drawn for elk licenses in this year's drawing represented only a small fraction of the 22,331 hunters who applied. Additionally, many of those individuals had been applying for years and had accrued a number of preference points, resulting in 116,734 entries being in this year's drawing.Given those numbers the odds of a first-time applicant being selected, much less for one of the 26 available bull tags, seemed to be slim, but that is exactly what happened for Catawissa resident William Gifford.

Bluffton's record-setting senior quarterback missed on his first seven passes in his last game, but a good week of practice made him confident this one would be different.
It turned out Frazier needed only two plays to throw his first touchdown pass in a 54-0, non-region victory Friday at Wade Hampton.
"We normally come in hitting on all cylinders," Frazier said. "Everything we do is all about timing."
Bluffton (4-0), ranked eighth in SCHSL Class AAAA, had everything working against the Red Devils.
The defense recorded its third shutout in four games and Frazier completed 14 of 22 passes for 206 yards and three touchdowns. His second pass went 22 yards to a wide-open Vinny Boni for the Bobcats' first score. Boni ran in the conversion for an 8-0 lead after only 49 seconds had ticked off the clock.
Frazier tossed his second touchdown nine minutes later to Demetrius Smalls.
The Bobcats marched up and down the field throughout the first half at led 33-0 when Mallie Sprouse hit a 32-yard field goal just before halftime.
"We know we're not going to score on every drive," Frazier said, "but we know we have that ability."
Bluffton seized the momentum for good midway through the second quarter.
The Red Devils drove all the way down to the Bobcats' 2-yard line, but quarterback Sheldon Swofford fumbled into the end zone on a sneak and Bluffton's Jeremy Scott recovered.
Two plays later, Marquis Webber took a reverse 67 yards for a touchdown. Sprouse's extra point made it 22-0.
A 21-yard punt return by Anthony Smith gave the Bobcats a first down at the Wade Hampton 26, and Tykeem Major finished the short drive with a 2-yard touchdown run.
"That was a good change of momentum," Bluffton coach Ken Cribb said of the second-quarter outburst. "We really needed that."
Wade Hampton, which had only 24 yards of total offense, fumbled on its first second-half possession and Bluffton scored the first of three quick third-quarter touchdowns. The Bobcats have outscored their first three opponents by an average score of 52-2.

A particularly powerful aspect of the jQuery library is the support it offers for events. Not only does jQuery let you attach and detach handlers with ease and comfort, but it also shields you from differences in the eventing model of most browsers.
In jQuery, you define an event handler by simply passing the code you want to execute to a function that identifies the particular event. There are several ready-made functions for most common events such as click, blur, hover, change, dblclick, focus, select (text selection), ready, scroll, and resize , plus multiple events for keyboard and mouse actions. Here's the code you need to attach a handler to the click event of a button:
$('#Button1').click(function() { : });
You can bind handlers directly to a particular event by using the specific function (i.e., click) or you can resort to an indirect form of programming through the function bind. Here's how you can bind to an event by simply passing the name of the event of interest:
$('#Container a').bind("click", function() { : });
In the example, the handler will be attached to all members of the wrapped set; that is, all anchors under the element with an ID of Container. The list of anchors, however, represents a snapshot of the DOM in the moment at which the code executes. What if another anchor is added later on in the same part of the document, thus turning it into the wrapped set? If you made the binding using the bind function, nothing happens. If you've used the live function instead, then any new anchor will automatically be attached the same event handler. Here's the code:
$('#Container a').live("click", function() { : });
To detach an event handler, you use the unbind method, as follows:
To stop, instead, a live dependency, you call the die function:
The function does the reverse of live and just removes a live event handler from a wrapped set. Another interesting segment of the eventing API in jQuery is the set of functions you can use to trigger events. You have a generic function you can use with any supported event, and then you have a bunch of event specific functions. You use the trigger method to trigger any event by name:
The effect of the previous code is simulating the user's clicking on the specified button. More generally, the effect is invoking the handler for the click event associated with any DOM element selected in the wrapped set. As mentioned, you can also achieve the same by calling a specific function as shown below:
A jQuery event handler receives an ad hoc data structure where all information available about the event is conveyed. This data structure is a jQuery Event object.
$('#Button1').click(function(event) { : });
The Event object offers normalized information that works across most browsers. Among other properties you find pageX and pageY to indicate the left and top position of the mouse when the event happened, and you find the target property to refer to the DOM element that was behind the event.
Events normally bubble up walking up the stack of DOM elements. If necessary, though, you can stop propagation by using the following code:
$('#Button1').click(function(event) { // Access information about the event : // Stop propagation return false; });
You can also use the preventDefault method on the Event object to prevent the default action for the event.
Overall, the most attractive feature of the jQuery eventing API is the extreme flexibility with which you can add and remove handlers. This fact creates the conditions for writing really unobtrusive code in which the markup is plain HTML and any script is added upon page loading programmatically.

May is wellness month!
I am on the wellness committee at work and May is wellness month. I am super excited for all the great things that we have planned. I arranged 3 great "lunch and learns" which are basically presentations over lunch. The first week we have someone from NEO Team in Training coming to tell everyone about TNT and what you can get if you sign up to train with them. Then next week I have a lovely yoga instructor coming in to walk people through yoga poses to help undo the stress of sitting all day. And then for weeks 3 and 4 we are going to screen the movie Food Inc in 2 parts! How fun is that. Don't you wish you worked here. On top of that I managed to gather 8 people who are interested in doing a cleanse with me! I am going to lead the group, so I think that will be the right amount of motivation to stay on the cleanse. In fact I am going to start on Monday (instead of Friday like them) so I have a few solid days under my belt. The cleanse will be based on the book Quantum Wellness, I did this cleanse once before, but only made it 15 days. But this cleanse is what solidified that I could be a vegetarian and I haven't wavered on that once since I made the decision early last year. I will blog about the cleanse for anyone interested. Here is an email I sent out to the group today:
"Hi cleanse group members! If you are going to go shopping this weekend or early next week to prepare for the cleanse, below are some shopping items you will want to stock up on. All of these foods are approved on the cleanse. I am assuming no one has read the book yet, so I pulled this from the website, with some notes from me. When I did this cleanse last time I lived on popcorn, rice noodles, hummus and steamed veggies with different spices on them. Trader Joes has really great, cheap, spice grinders. I am in love with their lemon pepper and 21 spice salute.
The Quantum Wellness Cleanse Grocery List:
The items on this grocery list are specifically outlined for the "Quantum Wellness Cleanse" which precludes sugar, alcohol, caffeine, gluten, and all animal products. This does not mean that all of these items are not vegan, rather these items are specifically for the 21 day cleanse.
- Irish steel cut oats (for most people, this is tolerable insofar as gluten; unless you are particularly sensitive, ok to use), mixed grain hot cereals, gluten and sugar (maple, honey, etc.) free
- Rice cakes
- Flax crackers
- Gluten free bread (vegan) (MN: Check out the brand Ezekiel, they make many types of sprouted breads that are gluten free)
- Sweet potatoes, yams-Grains: brown or wild rice, millet, quinoa, amaranth, corn, buckwheat, corn
- Nuts: almonds, walnuts, cashews, soy nuts, macadamia nuts, filberts, etc.
- Seeds: sunflower, pumpkin, sesame
- Nut or seed butters: peanut butter, almond butter, tahini, cashew butter (unsweetened)
- Vegan butter (earth balance, soy garden)
- Vegan mayonnaise
- Non-dairy protein powder (Solaray strawberry is a tasty sugar free one), also others that are pea, rice, and soy based are good (MN: Whole Foods has a very tasty banana pea/rice protein powder)
- Beans and legumes: black beans, lentils, chickpeas, lima beans, adzuki beans, black-eyed peas, edamame, fava beans
- Tofu-Tempeh-Faux meats: burgers, sausage patties, "meat crumbles", "chicken" patties (make sure gluten free)
- Artichoke/rice/quinoa pasta (MN: Trader Joes has some yummy and cheap rice stick pasta)-Pasta sauce (no sugar added)
- Vegetables: kale, broccoli, cauliflower, green beans, asparagus, brussel sprouts, zucchini, eggplant, collard greens, butternut, spaghetti, and acorn squash (MN: Check out the frozen ones at WF, my lunch staple will be various frozen veggies with different spices)
- Mushrooms: shitake, hen of the woods, etc. (grilled, they make a great centerpiece for a meal)
- Salad "fixins": arugala, raddichio, endive, mixed greens, peppers, avocado, tomato, etc.
- Fruits: apples, cherries, peaches, blueberries, goji berries
- Lemons, limes for sparkling water cocktails. A splash of unsweetened pomegranate juice-Coconut water
- Teecino (coffee substitute), rooibos tea, herbal teas
- Rice, almond, soy milk (unsweetened) (MN: Both TJS and WF have their own unsweetened brand of Almond and soy milk and its way cheaper than the name brands. I personally like almond milk way better than soy)
- Stevia, agave nectar to sweeten smoothies, milks, cereals, etc.
- Extra virgin olive oil, expeller pressed organic canola, high-oleic versions of sunflower and safflower oils
- Garlic, ginger, tamari, Himalayan crystal salt, pepper
- Flours to cook or bake with: bean, pea, soy, potato, buckwheat, tapioca, nut and seed, arrowroot
- Popcorn
- Corn chips (MN: TJs has a very tasty veggie flaxseed tortilla chip, its great with hummus or homeage guac)
- Guacamole
- Hummus
- Soy cheese (no rennet or casein)
- Frozen spinach (to throw into smoothies… you won't even taste it!)
- Flax seed oil, freshly ground flax seeds
- Vegetarian stock for cookingPre-prepared foods at health food stores are often tasty and nutritious. Visit the "raw" section and deli/salad bar area"

Literature Resource Guide, some possible errors

I've been reading the literature resource guide, and I've encountered a few things I think are errors.
On page 26, left column, last paragraph, it describes when Chielo took Enzima to the shrine of the Oracle of the Hills and Caves. In its description it says that Okonkwo "follows her from only a 'manly' distance, but Chielo outruns him"
This is false. Okonkwo did not follow Chielo; Ekwefi did. Additionally, Ekwefi was not outrun, she followed and kept pace the whole time and made certain not to get too close.
This is best evidenced by reading from pages 102-112 of Things Fall Apart, but, in absence of that, from page 112 "When Ekwefi had followed the priestess, he had allowed what he regarded as a reasonable and manly interval to pass and then gone with his machete to the shrine, where he thought they might be"
Additionally, on page 27 of the resource guide left column in the paragraph about Obierika, it says "He warns Okonkwo against going on the journey to kill Ikemefuna." This is also false, as Obierika only discusses it with Okonkwo in chapter eight after the killing in chapter seven by saying to Okonkwo "If I were you I would have stayed home"(Things Fall Apart 67).This, however, is after the event and can't be called a warning. The person that actually warns Okonkwo to not go on the journey is Ogbuefi Ezeudu when he says "The boy calls you father. Do not bear a hand in his death"(Things Fall Apart 57).

This would also affect Chielo's description in the right column of page 27, where it says "Although Okonkwo and Ekwefi, Ezinma's mother, chase Chielo, she outruns them" since only Ekwefi ran after her, and was not really outrun.

Good catches!! I'd go ahead and bring them to the attention of Terry McKiernan, USAD curriculum director, whose email is terry@ usad dot org. She'll take a look at it and release a curriculum update.

I've been thinking about what a native Haskell middleware would look like for a while. One thing seemed obvious: it was going to have to be event-based. So I started thinking about event
data Event a = Event {
eventTime :: UTCTime
eventValue :: a
} deriving (Show, Eq)
instance Functor Event where
fmap f (Event t v) = Event t (f v)
-- | True if the first event occurs strictly before the second.
isBefore :: Event a → Event b → Bool
isBefore ev1 ev2 = eventTime ev1
The simplest representation of a stream of events is just an infinite list, so you can define an event processor as a function from one stream to another:
type EventProcessor a = [Event a] -> [Event a]
Unfortunately this won't work. Suppose that your program is going to emit an event
e1 at time
t1, but an incoming event before
t1 would make your program do something else. In order to decide whether the next item in the output list is
e1 you need to look at the time of the next input event. But since that event hasn't happened yet you have to wait for it. If it arrives after
t1 then you have missed the deadline.
What is needed is a way to reify the two possibilities here: either the next input event is before
t1 or it is after it. This leads to the following data structures:
data EventStream b c =
Emit {esEmit :: Event c, esFuture :: EventStream b c, esHandle :: RTSP b c}
| Wait {esHandle :: RTSP b c} deriving Show
newtype RTSP b c = RTSP {runRTSP :: Event b → EventStream b c}
The "Emit" case embodies these two possibilities. An interpreter function will process this as follows:
- If no input event intervenes then it will emit the event
esEmitand call
itself on
- On the other hand if an input event arrives before
esEmitthen the function
esHandlegets called instead, generating a replacement
representing a different future.
- Finally the
Waitcase allows the event stream to do nothing until an event
RTSP stands for "Real Time Stream Processor". It also handles the problem of what an event stream is supposed to do before the first event arrives.
Interestingly, both
EventStream and
RTSP are Categories. The composition operator for
EventStream is simple in principle, although in
practice all the different combinations of value and timings make it rather fiddly. Here it is,along with a block comment that explains the logic if you are really interested.
The (.) operator for EventStream has to deal with several scenarios:
1: (Wait k2)∘(Wait k1). This is simple because the only possible event
is an input that is piped through the two RTSPs.
2: (Wait k2)∘es1@(Emit e1 es1a k1). In this case there are three timelines:
a) e1 : (k2 e1)∘es1a -- Event e1 is passed to k2 and the result composed with es1a.
b) ev e1: (Wait k2)∘(k1 ev) -- e1 never happens. Instead the input is passed to k1, which
generates a new event stream to be composed with k2.
The code for case b is the "k" value in the "let" clause.
3: es2@(Emit e2 es2a k2) es1@(Emit e1 es1a k1). The logic here is similar to scenario
2, except that the timing of e2 has to be taken into account as well. There are five basic
timelines. Let ev = the next input event and es2b = runRTSP k2 e1
a) e2 e1 : Emit e2 (es2a∘es1a) (k2∘k1)
b) e1 e2 : k2 e1 ∘ es1a -- e2 never happens because it is overridden by e1
c) ev ... : es2∘(k1 ev) -- ev overrides e1, and the new output is fed to es2.
d) e1 ev e2 : esProcess (es2b∘es1a) ev -- e1 overrides e2, giving es1a and es2b to process ev.
e) e2 ev e1 : Emit e2 (es2a∘(k1 ev)) -- e2 is emitted, then ev overrides e1.
instance Category EventStream where
-- id :: EventStream b c
id = Wait $ RTSP $ λe → Emit e id id
-- (.) :: EventStream c d → EventStream b c → EventStream b d
(Wait k2)∘(Wait k1) =
Wait $ k2∘k1
es2@(Wait k2)∘es1@(Emit e1 es1a k1) =
let es = (runRTSP k2 e1)∘es1a
k = RTSP $ λev ->
if ev `isBefore` e1
then es2 ∘ runRTSP k1 ev -- Timeline 2b
else runRTSP (esProcess es) ev -- Timeline 2a
in case es of
Emit e2 es2b _ → Emit e2 es2b k
Wait _ → Wait k
es2@(Emit e2 es2a k2)∘es1@(Wait k1) =
Emit e2 (es2a∘es1) (RTSP $ λev → es2∘runRTSP k1 ev)
es2@(Emit e2 es2a k2)∘es1@(Emit e1 es1a k1) =
let k = RTSP $ λev ->
if ev `isBefore` e1
then es2∘runRTSP k1 ev -- Timeline 3c
else runRTSP (esProcess es) ev -- Timeline 3d
es = (runRTSP k2 e1)∘es1a
in if e1 `isBefore` e2
then -- Timelines 3b, 3c and 3d. e2 never happens.
case es of
Emit e3 es3 _ → Emit e3 es3 k
Wait _ → Wait k
else -- Timelines 3a, 3c and 3e.
Emit e2 (es2a∘es1) (esProcess es2∘k1)
-- | Given a new input event to an existing event stream, this returns the
-- modified event stream.
esProcess :: EventStream b c → RTSP b c
esProcess (Wait k) = k
esProcess (Emit eOut rest k) = RTSP $ λeIn ->
if eIn `isBefore` eOut
then runRTSP k eIn
else Emit eOut (runRTSP (esProcess rest) eIn) k
And here is the matching RTSP instance:
The (.) operator for RTSP has to deal with a similar range of scenarios to that of EventStream.
The event that fires off the composed stream is e0. This is passed to r1, giving es1, and the
first event from es1 is passed to r2, giving es2. Hence these events must occur in order. However
ev is a second input event that can arrive at any time after e0.
The possible timelines are therefore:
1: e0 e1 e2 ev: Emit e2 (es2a∘es1a) _ -- The basic case. ev is passed to (es2a∘es1a)
2: e0 e1 ev e2: es2∘es1a -- e1 has happened, but ev occurs before e2 is emitted.
3: e0 ev e1 e2: r2∘esProcess es1 -- e1 is overriden by ev.
instance Category RTSP where
-- id :: RTSP b c
id = RTSP $ λev → Emit ev id id
-- (.) :: RTSP c d → RTSP b c → RTSP b d
r2∘r1 = RTSP $ λe0 ->
let es1 = runRTSP r1 e0
in case es1 of
Emit e1 es1a k1a ->
let es2 = runRTSP r2 e1
k = RTSP $ λev ->
runRTSP (if ev `isBefore` e1 then r2∘k1a else r2∘esProcess es1) ev
in case es2 of
Emit e2 es2a k2a ->
Emit e2 (es2a∘es1a) k
Wait k2a ->
Wait k
Wait k1a ->
Wait (r2∘k1a)
So now we have shown that these two things are both Categories, can we make them Arrows? The
Arrow class requires a definition of
first with the following types:
first :: EventStream b c -> EventStream (b, d) (c, d)
first :: RTSP b c → RTSP (b, d) (c, d)
This is where I run into problems.
EventStream can't be an Arrow because the first argument might emit a value before any input is received. At this point
first is supposed to pair up the output with some other value of type
d, but no such value exists. So
EventStream can't be an Arrow.
RTSP doesn't have this problem because some value of type
d must have been passed in at the start, so this lets us define
first. However from a semantic point of view it is not clear how this should deal with delays and subsequent events.
Its easy to write a
delay arrow: it simply echoes every incoming event with a fixed delay added to the event time. Other variations on the theme are possible, such as a
dup arrow that echoes every input immediately and then again after a fixed delay, or an arrow that echoes every input as a
Right value, but also emits a
Left timeout value if no input is received after a defined delay. There is clearly a whole family of combinators waiting to be written here. But
first things
What should
first do if its argument is
delay 1? Intuitively,
first puts the first item of the pair through its argument, but the second argument bypasses this processing. However this would mean emitting one part of the result before the
second. What should it do with
dup 1? And what do the answers imply for this
delay 4 &&& delay 5
I don't have any good answers. Maybe RTSP isn't an arrow, but that is a real nuisance. Any ideas?

Lelia Broussard Eliminated, Suzanna Choffel Advances for Team Blake on 'The Voice' with 'Dog Days Are Over'
Talent certainly wasn't an issue for Team Blake on 'The Voice' tonight (Oct. 15), as Lelia Broussard and Suzanna Choffel belted out an intense duet of 'Dog Days Are Over' by Florence + the Machine.
The two women lead very different lives – Broussard is an indie artist struggling to make it on her own, whereas Suzanna is a music teacher – but they have one surefire thing in common: they both really know how to sing. "It's the most obvious pairing for a battle that I've ever seen," coach Blake Shelton remarked.
With the help of Shelton and guest mentor Michael Buble, the singers geared up for the battle round. Shelton urged Choffel out of her rigid music-teacher box and cautioned Broussard on pitch control. "There's absolutely no forgiveness on television," he said in regard to their upcoming performance.
"You both have talent overflowing," judge Cee Lo Green said when it came time to choose the winner. Adam Levine praised both of them but clearly favored Choffel, stating that he could have kicked himself for not having fought harder for her during her blind audition.
Shelton was torn, but in the end, he said, "I think Suzanna won this battle – I'm gonna go with Suzanna." He appreciated her ability to be a musical chameleon while still allowing her unique inner voice to shine through.
Broussard held her own during the battle round but was ultimately eliminated.

New Resource for Sunday School and Catechism Class
A new Orthodox Christian education resource, the website Orthodoxabc.com, recently launched in anticipation of the 2012-2013 church school year.
Created for children between the ages of 7 and 13, the site provides free downloadable Catechetical School lessons especially designed for parents and teachers to help children learn "the rich religious and spiritual heritage of our Orthodox faith, a set of values to better equip them to face life's challenges, and a spiritual framework to help give focus and meaning to their lives."
All lessons on the site have been developed by parents, godparents, Orthodox youth and Catechetical School teachers, and have been reviewed by clergymen. The materials are written in everyday language and include colorful illustrations, word play and coloring activities to reinforce the main lesson themes. A Teacher's Edition is included to make sure young students get the most out of every lesson. Content is subdivided into the categories: Fasting and Prayer, Church and Feasts, Holy Scriptures, and Faith and Sacraments.

I blogged earlier about the subtle difference between federation and point-to-point connectivity, but didn't spell out how systems suffering from point-to-point connectivity ("the Dark Ages") could be effectively federated to bring them into the Modern Age without having to interpose a broker between them ("the Middle Ages").
Here's the problem - a point-to-point connection between two systems.
Here's the obvious solution - a broker that mediates all communication between the two systems. This is the ESB model, of course.
Is there another decoupling model for a federated system that can (by definition) have no centralised broker?
Consider an application that has the following hyperlink:
Now look at this one:
If we assume that both links are in fact referring to the same page, what's the difference between them? Yes, we know that in the second case, a DNS lookup is required to resolve the domain name to an IP address before the page can be accessed, but the actual HTTP call to GET the page is exactly the same (it uses the IP address) and the end result of the call is also the same. The HTTP GET seems to be point-to-point in both cases with no intermediaries.
So what's the real difference?
The first is truly an example of a point-to-point link. How do we know? Test it to see how brittle it is. If the intranet is now hosted on a different server with IP address 192.168.2.16, the link breaks immediately.
However, in the second example, if we change the server hosting the intranet but also update the relevant DNS entry so that "intranet.mycompany.com" points to "192.168.2.16" instead of "192.168.2.15", then the link continues to work and the application that embeds it is none the wiser. This is no longer a tight, point-to-point connection. It has been effectively intermediated by the introduction of a DNS lookup before the actual call is made.
This is what lookup-mediation looks like.
As we can see, we don't need to physically interpose a component between two systems to break the point-to-point link between them. We can use a lookup mechanism to achieve the same result.
Incidentally, web-style interaction with domain names in URIs instead of IP addresses is inherently loosely-coupled and therefore the REST style of integration that follows this approach is not an example of point-to-point connectivity. Any node can make HTTP calls to any other, yet nodes are not tightly coupled to each other. This is a practical example of federation.

Electric Boat security officers to vote on unionizing
Groton — Security officers at Electric Boat will decide today whether to unionize.
They are considering joining the international union, Security, Police, Fire Professionals of America, based in Roseville, Mich. About 80 security officers in Groton and New London are eligible to vote at the two sites. It would take a majority of votes cast to elect the union to serve as their collective bargaining representative.
About 35 percent of EB's 12,000 employees are unionized, and most of those belong to the Marine Draftsmen's Association-United Auto Workers Local 571 and the Metal Trades Council.
EB circulated handouts internally and set up a website to answer questions about the union. The literature, obtained by The Day, disputes the idea that the officers, if they join, would get better pay, benefits and working conditions and would have more freedom and a stronger voice.
"… Electric Boat wants all Security Officers to learn the facts and make an informed decision," it states. "Be sure to vote on Sept. 18 and, when you vote, be sure to vote NO!!!"
Even if the SPFPA wins the election, EB said, the company retains the right to evaluate the guard force against an outside, contract guard force and "take whatever actions it deems appropriate to keep our business viable and competitive."
The union has circulated a letter it says was written by an officer, Timothy A. Dougherty, which states that complaints by officers were mishandled and supervisors regard members of the force as lower-class employees.
"This is about fair treatment and having a voice," it states. "Our Management continues to harp on 'keeping your rights as an individual,' however, this is only due to the fact that (it) is easier to silence an individual, over an organized group."
The letter also referenced a complaint made to the state Department of Labor. According to the DOL, its Wage and Workplace Standards Division investigated and found the time clock at EB did not meet state guidelines for accurately reflecting the hours worked, and EB is now changing it to meet state law.
"The company will forward us their written, proposed procedure for recording hours worked via the time clock and we expect to accept that change since we have been working with the company to ensure it meets all standards," Gary Pechie, the director of Wage and Workplace Standards, said in a statement. "No back wages are due to the employees because the system in place did not result in loss of wages. However, the new system will more accurately reflect the actual hours that were worked."
David L. Hickey, the union's international president, said he and the director who met with the officers, Dwayne Phillips, are both "very positive" the officers will elect the union.
"I don't think they have any different issues than any other unorganized workers — no job protection, no voice in their careers," Hickey said in an interview Tuesday. "Wages and benefits are always important, but not the most important. They just want to have a voice and a say in their careers and they want to have some job security. They want to work under a collective bargaining agreement."
According to Hickey, the union has 25,000 members in five countries.
The National Labor Relations Board will conduct the election. To start the election process, the SPFPA filed a petition with the board last month showing at least 30 percent of the officers are interested in the union.
Robert H. Nardone, the vice president for human resources and administration at EB, said in a statement that no other EB employees are affected by the petition.
"Because Electric Boat respects its Security Officers' right to vote on this issue via secret ballot, the Labor Board will conduct an election on Sept. 18 where our Security Officers will be able to decide whether or not to let the SPFPA Union represent them," he said. "We want our Security Officers to make an informed decision and make the decision that is best for them and their families. We have been cooperating completely with the National Labor Relations Board during this process."
If the union is elected and the election is certified, the security officers would select leaders and become a local unit of the international union. The union's representative in charge of the region would contact the officers to discuss the issues, form a bargaining committee and prepare for contract negotiations.
