Newspaper adds 2 to team
News editor
Two new employees with similar first names joined the Marion County Record, Hillsboro Star-Journal, and Peabody Gazette-Bulletin team on Monday.
Oliver Good will be a familiar face to many in Marion. He graduated from Marion High School in 2000 and received a bachelor's degree in English with a focus on creative writing from Kansas State University in 2005. He just finished a year studying graphic design at the University of Kansas.
Good will work mostly in advertising, although he may contribute occasional news coverage. He is excited to be going into the community to work with people.
Good moved back to Marion to be close to family again. He is musically inclined and in the past has played at Chingawassa Days as part of a band, Vegetable.
"I'm a big music aficionado," he said. "I love to play music and discover new music I haven't heard."
He also enjoys spending time with his wife, Marina, 12-year-old stepdaughter, Louisa, and 15-month-old son, Owen.
Reporter Olivia Haselwood is a 2008 graduate of Augusta High School. She received her bachelor's degree in communications with a focus on print journalism in May from Wichita State University, where she studied under noted professor and editor Les Anderson before his death in 2011.
She is excited to start meeting new people and writing about them.
"I'm quirky and bad with directions," she said.
The second half of her self-description proved true in her first day on the job when she got stuck on a mud road on her way to get a picture of hollyhocks.
Haselwood enjoys reading, horseback riding, and home improvement. She is a newlywed; she married her husband, Winslow, on June 1. They live in Towanda but hope to move if they can sell their house.
Winslow, who recently received his MBA, works in investments in Wichita.
Olivia replaces Rachel Hunter, who had to return to her family home in New York state for health reasons. Oliver fills a new position on the staff.

Okay, how many of the people here who have experience with public transit train stations could kind of see the bit with Mashiro showing up on Sorata's side of the platform coming after he didn't see her on the other side after the train left?
Also, anyone think making those train windows non transparent was kind of cheap? :P

In any case, my post was directed more towards mayid's condescending tone towards Nanami supporters. My argument is that justifications do exist for a Nanami end as well, and that it is reasonable for others to have seen things differently even though the author decided to go for a Shiina end.

Back to the Sorata, Mashiro, and Nanami versus Jin and Misaki. Sorata and Mashiro just started, so it is believable that it will take time for their feelings to develop. Sorata and Nanami had 2 years to develop, but Sorata did not show any thought of it. Jin has always thought of Misaki. Misaki has always thought of Jin. In fact, Misaki has been showing her feelings for Jin for quite some time, so friendzone was very unlikely.
Would it have been possible for Sorata and Nanami to get together? Yes, if Mashiro never showed up and Nanami confessed earlier. However, those 2 things combined not happening ended things the way they are right now.

Don't forget, this entire discussion stems from mayid's post, in which he claimed that there was no connection between Sorata and Nanami, and completely put down the views of Nanami supporters. In this regard, what we're looking for is at what point does a Nanami end become so illogical that it is virtually impossible. Before that point, it would be fair game for both sides. To me, this would be last episode.
There are some stories where the end is so clear from the very beginning that only the set of arguments in support of one character is correct, while those supporting any other character are all wrong. An example of this would be Sailor Moon, where the main couple is so obvious from the very beginning that no other end would have been possible. Sakurasou isn't one of those stories.

As far as virtually impossible, it is really hard for the story to ever get to a point where it is virtually impossible for this type of genre. Even in real life, when people are friendzoned, it is still possible to go into romance under the right circumstances.
As far as looking at the overall view of the story, it would have seem that the initial episode already had Mashiro marked as the end girl; however, to prove that it is virtually impossible to end with Nanami cannot happen until the story ends and Sorata marries someone (even then, they could expand the story with Sorata getting divorced and ending up with Nanami).

This happens in manga and light novels due to the impact of commercial factors that sometimes influence the story. Even a popular Western novel like Harry Potter was also affected by commercial considerations, since the author mentioned in an interview that she decided to spare a character from death due to his popularity.
The way I see it, that's simply the nature of the rom-com genre. There can only be one particularly ending, be it with a single girl or multiple, but a number of endings are generally plausible before that. For this reason, I don't view such stories as having one set route. If I'm right in my predictions, then great, but I acknowledge that the people who predicted the other girls had valid reasons for doing so and that they could very well have been right had the author decided so, or if the story ended at a different point than intended like with Ichigo 100%.

Aoyama was never in the game. Sorata never saw her like that. So stop whining, get over it and move one.
Great episode.
Aoyama finally got the clue.
Sorat confessed his feelings.
Seeing Shiinas painting and understanding that she doesn't see herself with them was sad.
The whole scene at the train station was beautifully done.
The only thing left is the Kiss.
This episode gets a "very Good" from me.

@frivolity go see all the episodes again:
I think you dont understand the anime. Were does Sorata in all the episodes shows love afection for Nanami? give me one example.If you cant then you are just crying about that it didnt end how you wanted it to end. That is another discussion.
Let me enlighten you: some people here are really stubborn:
1. In the first episode when Sorata saw Mashiro he was amazed to see such a girl (he thought she was perfect and didnt know why she came to Sakurasao)
2. In the episodes after he began to understand who she realy is and wanted to do his best also.
3. He became frustrated if he didnt succeed.
4. He became jealous of her talent.
5. The episode at the airport he realy thought she was gonna leave. He realized how he cared for her. Only the most retarded thing the author did is reset the feelings of Sorata after this episode. it was like after that episode everthying began from zero again between Mashiro and Sorata.
6. Sorata keeps going with jealous route.
7. Until the point Mashiro knew she was the one at fault (even if Sorata was the evil one here).
8. Then he realized his mistake and he he knew that it wasnt only jealousy that he had for her.
So now let us see nanami:
1. She was the clasmate first.
2. Didnt life at Sakurasao till later.
3. She loved Sorata but were the F... did we see that he loved her.
4. Sorata is just a helpfull guy and wants to help friends in need. But i didnt saw it like he loved
5. Did Sorata realy showed love afection at Nanami.
6. The only moment was when he went on a date with her but He Rushed at Mashiro (there was a hint).
The problem with this anime is that because Nanami has been showed to much that it was that we thought that he would choose her. You people have not convicied me with proof from all the episodes that Sorata realy had love for her.
And please dont come with but mother said she is the best choise. Because that is just rubish proof.
So i will say it again i havent seen a episode where i could conclude that he was going to choose her. If you realy think he did show me the proof.
Besides i will repeat it again this anime was from the beginning about Mashiro and Sorata. Only i think the author as made a mistake by deliting the whole feelings between them after the airport and it felt like in episode 13 the whole thing between them being close has started from zero. I think he did this for the sake of character devolpment but it was a bit retarded to my point of view.
@frivolity The things that happend have shown that Sorata was moved by Mashiro in all the episodes and that she has changed him. He admited it at the station.
There is your proof of the affection he had for Mashiro. Something like that i didnt see that happening with Nanami. It was more like helping a friend the whole anime in the situations with nanami
But you saw it as a love possibility. But it isnt. I think you have misunderstood the plot here.
So love possibility with Mashiro was more stronger than it was with Nanami for my point of vieuw.

^At no point have I said that Sorata shows affection for Nanami. What I said was that Sorata has not shown affection for either of them. So no, the onus is on you to show evidence that Sorata's actions towards Shiina had romantic underpinnings that did not apply to any of his actions towards Nanami.
The points that you have listed above are not indicative of affection by Sorata towards Shiina, and are essentially similar to what he had with Nanami. Motivate him to work harder? Both girls did. Develop an understanding of the girls? Goes for both of them. Help them with their troubles? He did that for both to varying degrees depending on their needs. Basically, if you take the speech he made at the station in this episode and modified it for the hugging scene in the previous episode, it could still make sense.
Of course, there can only be one girl at the end for this series, and the author chose Shiina. So be it. My point is that it could have gone the other way as well and retained a logical structure. The author had put foundations for it to have gone either way, as any author of a rom-com would do, and supporters on both sides had valid arguments even though obviously only one side is left standing at the end.

1. When did Sorata get the movtivation to work harder? from he met Mashiro or when Aoyama began to life in Sakurasao? '
Answer: noo, when Mashiro met Sorata. And he already knew Nanami but he was still a person who didnt know what to do with his life. he even confirmed it in this episode.
2. When did Sorata want to do smething with his life and realized he is just nothing at that moment?
Answer: Yes, when he saw that Mashiro was a genius and wanted also to be a genius. And when he saw that whole Sakurasao were geniusus. And then Nanami didnt life at Sakurasao.
Conclusion: the most important motivation came not from Nanami because she was introduced later in the dorm Sakurasao. So i think you misunderstood it here.
For your information the hug with Nanami can not be compared with the confesion at the station. Know that at that time he also have heard that his game was rejected. So he also was fucked up inside. So he also wanted someone to feel miserable with him.
If that is the reason why you think that there were love between them then it is a stupid reason.
YOU havent confinced me yet. All the reason you gave a just rubish.
I Repeat it again: There was no love between Sorata and Namami (only onsided). And Mashiro and Sorata there was love and the actions are talking for themselfs. Go watch the anime. You have just failed to explain it.

Aoyama essentially said Good Game to Mashiro in the game of love in this episode. And it was said in an incredibly awesome way.
I think what Sorata had in mind with Nanami was a love not of the "Eros" or romantic variant, but rather a love of "Phileo". To Sorata, Nanami is a very dear friend, but not a romantic possibility. And Nanami has more or less ceded to that in favor of Mashiro.
I am seriously suspecting that Plan C is Polygamous in nature. The "I will not approve of Polygamy" comes strongly to mind here.

Best Sun Tanner Ever from Overland Park, KS Verified Purchaser
I love this sun tanner. It's great to mix with the lotion of your choice. It has a bronzer in it as well as a tanner, so you can see where it is and isn't as you're applying it. It's very dark, so it lasts a long time, too.

Sun Laboratories by AA
I received this lotion in the mail last month and was very excited to try it out. I applied the lotion after taking a shower like it recommended. I LOVE this sunless tan lotion! It does not smell like usual sunless tanning products. The only CON I found was that it leaves your hands brown after applying, but washes away with soap and water. I tried using gloves, but I did not think it applied as easy and as smooth with them on. Definitely recommend it.

Very believable color - without streaks or funny smell! from Glastonbury, CT Verified Purchaser
This is the best self tanner I ever used. The color looks totally natural - brown, not the orange look I've had from virtually every other tanner. The brown color guide helps a lot, so there is not streaking whatsoever. My best advice would be to keep washing your hands frequently as you apply the tanner. The first time I used it, I didn't wash my hands until the end and it took me literally ten minutes to get all the rubbed in color off my hands. I also needed to use a pumice. But the good news is my palms had no hint of color on them in the morning, so the pumice idea is actually great.
5 out of 5
I probably will by again but may not use too regularly as I dread the horrific mess it makes, and if I can get a larger size in a pump I would prefer that as when you get to the end of the bottle it dispenses in bigger blobs, thus wasting product. Since the color and evenness, along with the price, are so good, I certainly recommend it and I am sure I'll use it again.

great tan with self tanning micro mist, easy to do at home NS from coral gables, FL Verified PurchaserI will be placing another order, I like the color that it gives my skin and it lasts over a week, comes off very naturally.

Very good, realistic color from a self-tanner from Ipswich, MA Verified Purchaser
The best quality of this self-tanner is that it contains a color guide that actually stains your skin (some of it washes off, but part of the color guide remains and is long lasting) and so the color guard tint adds to the DHA self-tanner color...this makes the resulting 'tan' more realistic than a DHA self-tan alone would be. Normally I avoid self-tanners with color guides as they tend to be messy, to stain clothing and look dirty, but this product's color guide actually has a purpose in that it improves the final tan color. That usually isn't the case, especially with most drugstore self-tanners. Also, this product has very little of that unattractive self-tanner scent. Lastly, because the concentration of DHA is quite high, you use less (one or two coats) to get a dark color, but you avoid being orange because of the residual stain of the color guide. The end result is a reddish brown tan color. This is pricey, but will last a long time and a worthwhile investment if you tend to turn orange with self-tanners. Good product!
Directions: Sun Laboratories Self Tanning lotion
Smooth evenly over face and body. Color is instant and will intensify in three hours. To avoid discoloring palms, wash hands with soap and water immediately after use. Wait at least one hour after use before contact with water or bathing....

Recently, President Barack Obama directed federal agencies to serve antibiotic-free meat and poultry in government cafeterias. The Federal Drug Administration will require animal producers to obtain authorization from a licensed veterinarian to use drugs to treat a specific disease, rather than just to promote rapid growth, as is current practice. As much as 80 percent of all United States antibiotics are used in animal agriculture.
At a speech at Tuskegee University, first lady Michelle Obama said the right had the audacity to question her love of America as she lambasted the country again as nothing but a racist, minority-hating country. Love to hate is not love.
Asked about the doubling or tripling of payments for speeches he gave after his wife, Hillary Clinton, became secretary of state, Bill Clinton replied, "I got to pay our bills." Fifty million dollars to pay bills? You need to shut the lights off when you go out.
In the story "PEBA say no to LCEDC", the Lancaster County Economic Development Corp. became a 501 (c) 4 group in October of 2014. Since the S.C. Public Employee Benefit Authority denied its request to be covered for health benefits, any medical claim filed since then should be invalid. But since PEBA doesn't rule on eligibility unless an entity asks, it probably paid anyway.
In agreement with William Chick's letter in the May 13 Carolina Gateway, Indian Land certainly needs it's own post office instead of all these little stations they are opening up that cannot do the job of a real post office.
Indian Land is growing fast between customers, new stores opening up, apartments and new homes. The Fort Mill post office cannot handle all of this and should not have to deliver to Indian Land.
Finding ways to tax must be a politician's delight. During elections, they tell us they want to work to lower our taxes, but once in office they find ways to tax us more, and then try and explain to us why more money is needed.
Take impact fees: An impact fee is a fee that is imposed by a local government on a new or proposed development project to pay for all or a portion of the costs of providing public services to the new development.
Mr. Mulvaney, why can Indian Land not have its own post office?
I know about the contract post office at S.C. 160 and U.S. 521, but it is a gas station and the sign on the post office counter states, "We are a gas station first and a post office second, so be patient with the attendant."
Indian Land now has more than 21,500 residents and the fastest-growing region in the state. I think we have waited long enough, earned and deserve a real post office.
It was reported in last week's newspaper that Lancaster County Council is considering early redemption of the special source revenue bonds used to finance public improvements at Bailes Ridge, a 300-acre business park in Indian Land.
One thing for sure, readers know I ain't one to complain 'bout stuff. That said, let me tell you about the south end of the Gateway to South Carolina.
Most of you know, we ain't got no interstate highway barreling in from North Carolina, so we just gotta make do with what we got and what we got is U.S. 521. A real four-lane marvel. Why, I lost a big piece of my front yard so that other lane could be made. That sorta makes me feel a small sense of pride, but I'm too old to maintain it.
At the close of a Draw Muhammad cartoon contest, two masked Islamist jihadists were shot dead by security after they opened fired on the event, hoping to kill as many as they could.
No sooner were the Islamist would-be killers sent to their graves than the leftist media turned on the event, instead of the jihadists.
The brain-dead media rattled off numerous reasons why Pamela Geller, the host of the contest, was at fault for causing the crisis, and not the jihadists.
I doubt there are many in Lancaster County who would oppose a properly sited sawmill; the objection is to an industrial I-2 use next to an undeveloped future recreational area on the Catawba River, particularly one on a road incapable of handling heavy truck traffic.
If the area is zoned I-2 and the sawmill moves out, there are many much less desirable uses that could move in without further review or approval, including landfills, slaughterhouses and the like.

someone on reddit pointed out that "him/his/he" should be added to this clarification. In the 2nd draft I'll say that these personal pronouns should only be capitalized when beginning a sentence.
Well.. unless you're in a B&D chat room where it's acceptable to use H/he S/she ... lol
I agree, the pronouns should not be treated specially just because they refer to a god or God.
I tend to follow the rule stated in the photo, except when I am here, when I almost never capitalize it.
There's an easier way, fuck being polite and just write it small. I always knew these rules but I do it out of spite.
Your god, namely god, can suck it.
By the way, the H/he S/she stuff is bullshit and only used by theists. Screw that too.
I capitalize God when referring to the fictitious being by name. I don't feel a need to lower-case Mickey Mouse, either. In our language, it's a substitute for Yahweh or Jehovah and thus should be capitalized. It's a convention. I capitalize Satan as well.
The purpose of language is to communicate and language really is little more than a set of conventions we learn in order to understand each other. What's the point of screwing with the conventions? Or should I say "Wtsh'a wercsngi tiwh vsncentionv eht piont fo?"

It's just the way the language is, I follow it more to keep with the grammar rules than anything else!
I'm over half way through a TESL/TEFL (Teaching English as a Second/Foreign Language) course, so I vote for the grammatically correct . . . which I always strive for anyway.

TORONTO — Rob Ford has earned the wrath of wrestling star The Iron Sheik after the Toronto mayor declined a request to break bread with him at a sandwich shop on Saturday.
The Iranian-born champion of the ring and social media is the subject of The Sheik, which made its world premiere at Toronto's Hot Docs film festival tonight.
Page Magen, one of the Sheik's agents and a producer of the doc, said a Ford staffer had earlier texted him to say they'd try to free up the mayor to meet with the wrestler at a sub shop hours before the screening.
But the embattled mayor didn't turn up — annoying the 72-year-old moustachioed Sheik.
"Rob Ford ... we invited you to come to the Belly Buster's (shop), you didn't show up," he said.
But Ford's chief of staff Dan Jacobs stiff-armed that account, saying in an email "there was never any plan in place for them to meet, nor was there even an invitation received."
"The story was nothing but a publicity stunt."
Ford's mayoral-race rival Olivia Chow did arrive, however. She mugged for the cameras with the Sheik's wrestling belt slung over her shoulder, and won the aging grappler's endorsement.
The last time the Sheik was in Toronto in November, he stopped by City Hall to challenge Ford to an arm-wrestling match.
But he never got to meet Ford amid the media circus that erupted over the mayor's admission that he had smoked crack cocaine while in office.
In an interview at Hot Docs on Friday, the Sheik said he had some things to discuss with Ford at the subway shop, which Magen co-owns with twin brother Jian.
"I want to let him know that ... it's no good to smoke crack and come on national TV," the Sheik, whose real name is Hossein Khosrow Vaziri.
"He's supposed to be a role model for Toronto. ... I wish I could see him to suplex him, put him in the Camel Clutch, make him humble."
The World Wrestling Entertainment hall of famer also tried crack during a dark period in his life following the murder of one of his three daughters in 2003.

Agriculture Secretary Mike Johanns has appointed Teresa Coarsey Lasseter, a former county Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service director in Georgia, as administrator of the Farm Service Agency, the ASCS' successor organization.
"Teresa Lasseter's experience at the local, state and federal levels, combined with her personal involvement with agriculture, provide her with tremendous insight and an ability to lead the Farm Service Agency into the future," said Johanns. "Her commitment to service fits perfectly with the agency's long tradition of serving America's farmers and ranchers."
She replaces FSA Administrator James Little, who resigned after USDA announced it was beginning a "modernization" program that could result in the closure or consolidation of 713 of FSA's 2,355 county offices. USDA now says the plan will not be implemented.
Johanns announced the appointment prior to hosting the Georgia Farm Bill Forum, the 18th hosted by Johanns and the 34th in a series of farm policy listening sessions, at the Sunbelt Expo in Moultrie, Ga.
As FSA administrator, Lasseter will oversee farm programs, farm loans, commodity operations, conservation programs, disaster assistance and field operations at FSA offices in all 50 states.
A Georgia native, Lasseter served at FSA from 2001 to 2003, first as state executive director in Georgia and later as associate administrator for farm programs in Washington.
She served as executive director of the Georgia Agrirama Development Authority from 1993 to 1999 and also worked for the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation Service, FSA's predecessor, in several positions from 1977 to 1993, culminating as a county executive director for Lee County.
Lasseter was the recipient of the USDA's Unsung Hero Award and the Athena Award, and she received the Farm Service Agency Administrator's Award for outstanding work specifically for implementing the 2002 Farm Security and Rural Investment Act, the 2002 farm bill.
Her community service includes serving in leadership roles with the Tifton Rotary Club, Tift County American Cancer Society, and Tifton-Tift County Chamber of Commerce. Lasseter and her husband, Willard, have two children.
Lasseter is an honor graduate from the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College with an associate degree in business administration.

LeTourneau University has hired Daniel Ostendorff as assistant professor of history/political science.
Ostendorff holds a Bachelor of Arts in biblical and theological studies from John Brown University and a Master of Arts in modern history from Queen's University of Belfast, graduating from both with honors. His doctoral degree in history, expected to be completed in Fall 2013, will be from St. Cross College, University of Oxford.
"We're excited to have Daniel join our department," said Dr. Bobby Johnson, LETU chair of the History/Political Science Department. "Daniel's academic credentials are excellent. With his background as the son of missionaries and his many years of living and studying abroad, he will bring a wealth of cultural knowledge and experience to our new international studies program. He's a wonderful person who knows universities like ours, and I know he is going to really connect with our students."
Longtime LETU history/political science professor Dr. Paul Kubricht is doing a phased retirement and will only be teaching part time this year.
Ostendorff views history as more than a general timeline of events.
"Developing the disciplines and skills that come with the study of history will strengthen a student's work in other areas by learning to question sources, motives and context," Ostendorff said. "Christ-centered education is fundamentally about equipping students to engage the world God has created with critical thinking and analysis, to both worship and work in greater ways for His glory."

Sam Bracken
Inspirational speaker and guide to initiating positive life changes
Photo credit: Kevin Garrett
About Sam Bracken
Sam Bracken's debut book, My Orange Duffel Bag: A Journey to Radical Change, has inspired thousands of readers to overcome barriers in their lives and reinvent themselves for the better. The impetus behind My Orange Duffel Bag—part memoir, part guidebook, and brimming with wisdom—is Bracken's own troubled childhood and his journey to success.
Sam Bracken, who overcame homelessness, poverty, and abuse as a teen to become successful in business and at home, is available for keynotes, speaking engagements, workshops, book discussions, and panels. Bracken has spoken to audiences of all kinds, including corporations, college students, sports teams, and at-risk youth groups.
Bracken experienced violence and abuse from a young age, and his lack of guidance led him to drugs and alcohol by the age of nine. Despite the grim path lying before him, he managed to escape the home of his abusive stepfather and graduate from high school with stellar grades. Discovering his athletic talent, particularly his passion for football and track, propelled Bracken further along a path that eventually led to a full-ride scholarship to the Georgia Institute of Technology.
With the help of loving friends and mentors, Bracken flourished as a scholar and a star football player. After his graduation, he committed himself to missionary service, where he met his wife. Today he is an executive at FranklinCovey and the father of four children. The success of My Orange Duffel Bag has brought Bracken's message of positivity and commitment to change to thousands of readers. With his wife, Kim, he started the Orange Duffel Bag Foundation, which advocates for at-risk youth. The foundation's mission statement follows the same seven "Rules of the Road" found in Bracken's book, and he strives to provide education and opportunities to young adults.

Praise for Sam Bracken
The best presenters touch both your mind and your heart. That alone puts Sam Bracken at the top of his field.— Southern State Community College
I spent five years with Sam Bracken at a time of transformation for him. His is a stunning story of courage, resiliency, and servant-leadership. There are two pains in life-the pain of discipline and the pain of regret…we all choose every day. The difference in Sam and those who are gobbled up by our sick society is that he usually chose wisely. We would all do well to read, and heed, his powerful message.— NCAA football coach and former NFL player
The program was a great success and just a preview of the great things you will accomplish with young people through your new book and future encounters with kids who need encouragement and guidance.— U.S. Department of Health & Human Services Administration for Children and Families
Praise for My Orange Duffel Bag
Change is hard. Everyone wants it. So few get it. In this one-of-a-kind book, Sam lays out a fool-proof, step-by-step approach to change through sharing his own remarkable journey from victim to conqueror. This book is a must read for everyone who wants to leave their baggage behind once and for all and become the change they seek!— Stephen R. Covey, author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The 8th Habit: From Effectiveness to Greatness and The Leader in Me
Sam Bracken is a shining example of the transformational power of education. A caring teacher looked closely enough at his life to take away his barrier to learning. That simple act launched Sam on his journey out of poverty.— Ruby Payne, Ph.D., author of the bestsellers A Framework for Understanding Poverty and Bridges Out of Poverty: Strategies for Professionals and Communities

"This blog is like a fusion of the Baroque 'salon' with its well-tuned harpsichord around which polite society gathered for entertainment and edification and, on the other hand, a Wild West "saloon" with its out-of-tune piano and swinging doors, where everyone has a gun and something to say. Nevertheless, we try to point our discussions back to what it is to be Catholic in this increasingly difficult age, to love God, and how to get to heaven." – Fr. Z

I need to build a function
buildSample :: [A] -> State StdGen [(A,B,C)]
given lookup functions
f :: A -> [B]
g :: A -> [C]
The idea is to first draw randomly form the [A], then apply each
lookup function and draw randomly from the result of each.
I suggested Chad try using ListT for the non-determinism, but this didn't work, so I decided to try solving it myself. I discovered that actually ListT doesn't work here: you need a completely custom monad. So here it is. Hopefully this will help other people who find they need a custom monad. This isn't meant to be yet another ab-initio monad tutorial: try reading the Wikibook or All About Monads if you need one.
The basic idea of the MonteCarlo monad is that each action in the monad returns a list of possible results, just like the list monad. However the list monad then takes all of these possible results forwards into the next step, potentially leading to combinatorial explosion if you can't prune the tree somehow. It was this explosion that was giving Chad problems when he scaled up his original solution. So instead the MonteCarlo monad picks one of the results at random and goes forwards with that.
Picking a random element means we need to thread a random number generator StdGen as a form of monadic state. So the monad type looks like this:
This is based on the state monad, except that the type parameter "s" is replaced by StdGen. I could have used the state monad here, but it would have meant working its "bind" and "return" into MonteCarlo, which would have been more trouble than it was worth.newtype MonteCarlo a = MonteCarlo {runMC :: StdGen -> (StdGen, [a])}
Picking a random item from a list is going to be necessary, and as seen below it is actually needed more than once. So:
Monad instance-- Internal function to pick a random element from a list
pickOne :: [a] -> StdGen -> (StdGen, a)
pickOne xs g1 = let (n, g2) = randomR (0, length xs - 1) g1 in (g2, xs !! n)
Now for the Monad instance declaration. In this we have to declare the bind function (>>=) and the return function.
The return function shows the minimal structure for a Monte-Carlo action: wrapped up in the MonteCarlo type is a function that takes a StdGen state and returns the state (in this case unmodified) along with the potential results. If the action had used the generator then the result pair would have had the new generator state instead of the old one.instance Monad MonteCarlo where
MonteCarlo m >>= f = MonteCarlo $ \g1 ->
(g2, xs) = m g1
(g3, x) = pickOne xs g2
(g4, f') = case xs of
[] -> (g2, mzero)
[x1] -> (g2, f x1)
_ -> (g3, f x)
in runMC f' g4
return x = MonteCarlo $ \g -> (g, [x])
The bind (>>=) is a bit more complicated. The type for monadic bind is:
In the MonteCarlo instance of Monad this becomes:(>>=) :: m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b
(>>=) :: MonteCarlo a -> (a -> MonteCarlo b) -> MonteCarlo b
The job of bind is to take its two arguments, both of which are functions under the covers, and compose them into a new function. Then it wraps that function up in the MonteCarlo type.
We unwrap the first argument using pattern matching to get the function inside "m". The second parameter "f" is a function that takes the result of the first and turns it into a new action.
The result of the bind operation has to be wrapped up in MonteCarlo. This is done by the line
The "g1" lambda parameter is the input generator state for this action when it is run, and the rest of the definition is the way we compose up the functions. We need to call the first function "m" to get a result and a new generator state "g2", and then feed the result into the second argument "f".MonteCarlo $ \g1 ->
The "let" expression threads the random generator manually through the first two random things we need to do:
- Get the possible results of the first argument as a list.
- Pick one of these at random.
Finally we use "runMC" to strip the MonteCarlo type wrapper off the second result, because the whole thing is being wrapped by the MonteCarlo type constructor at the top level of bind.
And there you have it. In summary, when defining an instance of "bind" you have to construct a new function out of the two arguments by extracting the result of the first argument and passing it to the second. This then has to be wrapped up as whatever kind of function is sitting inside your monadic action type. The arguments to this hidden function are the monadic "state" and therefore have to be threaded through bind in whatever way suits the semantics of your monad.
MonadPlus instance
MonadPlus is used for monads that can fail or be added together in some way. If your underlying type is a Monoid then its a good bet that you can come up with a MonadPlus instance from the "mempty" and "mappend" functions of the Monoid. In this case the underlying type is a list, so the "mempty" is an empty list and the "mappend" is concatenation.
instance MonadPlus MonteCarlo where
mzero = MonteCarlo $ \g -> (g, [])
mplus (MonteCarlo m1) (MonteCarlo m2) = MonteCarlo $ \g ->
(g1, xs1) = m1 g
(g2, xs2) = m2 g1
in (g2, xs1 ++ xs2)
Here the "mzero" returns an empty list. The bind operation interprets an empty list as failure, and so indicates this to its caller by returning an empty list. Thus a single failure aborts the entire computation.
"mplus" meanwhile threads the random number state "g" through the two arguments, and then returns the results concatenated. The bind operation will then pick one of these results, so "mplus" has become a kind of "or" operation. However note that the alternation is done over the results, not the original arguments. If you say "a `mplus` b" and "a" returns ten times as many results as "b" then the odds are 10:1 that you will be getting one of the results of "a".
One important combinator introduces a list of items to pick one from.
Finally we need to be able to run a MonteCarlo computation. You could do this using runMC, but that gives you the full list of results for whatever the last action was, which is not what you want. Instead you want to pick one of them at random. So there is a runMonteCarlo function that looks an awful lot like the bind operation, and for similar reasons. This returns a Maybe type with "Just" for success and "Nothing" for failure.-- | Convert a list of items into a Monte-Carlo action.
returnList :: [a] -> MonteCarlo a
returnList xs = MonteCarlo $ \g -> (g, xs)
Exercises for the reader:-- | Run a Monte-Carlo simulation to generate a zero or one results.
runMonteCarlo :: MonteCarlo a -> StdGen -> Maybe a
runMonteCarlo (MonteCarlo m) g1 =
(g2, xs) = m g1
(_, x) = pickOne xs g2
in case xs of
[] -> Nothing
[x1] -> Just x1
_ -> Just x
- Add a new combinator allowing access to the random number generator.
- Each computation returns only a single result, but Monte Carlo methods depend on statistical analysis of many results. How should this be done?
- Can we introduce a "try" combinator to limit the scope of failure?

American Idol Winner and Platinum-Selling Artist Fantasia, VH1 and World of Wonder Team Up For New Docu-Series 'Fantasia For Real'
"Fantasia For Real" Will Premiere January 11, 2010 on VH1 AT 10PM*
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Dec. 1 -- VH1 will give viewers a close-up view into the complex, touching and surprisingly relatable life of recording artist, actress and American Idol winner Fantasia. The series follows Fantasia as she juggles her career and single-motherhood while devoting her energy into recording her highly anticipated third album. The 8 episode, 30 minute docu-series "Fantasia For Real" is slated to premiere January 11, 2010 at 10PM* on VH1.
Six years ago, Fantasia was a young single mother from High Point, North Carolina singing in her church choir and struggling to raise her daughter, Zion. On a whim, she tried out for the third season of "American Idol," and seemingly overnight the world discovered Fantasia's tremendous voice. Five years and 8 Grammy� Award nominations later, life couldn't look more different for Fantasia. Her first album, Free Yourself, was a platinum-selling, chart-topping success, bringing her wealth, fame, and recognition as an accomplished artist. Fantasia has worked with many music industry legends, including Elton John, Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle, and Missy Elliot. In 2007 Fantasia was chosen to star as "Celie" in the acclaimed Broadway musical "The Color Purple." Her book "Life is Not a Fairy Tale" made the New York Times bestseller list, and she also starred in a made-for-television movie based on her life.
As Fantasia's fame has grown, her personal life has increasingly become more complicated. The sole breadwinner for her large family, Fantasia struggles to balance career, family, and the demanding life of a highly successful performing artist. Fantasia's VH1 series delves into how she has dealt with the seismic aftershocks of fame, all while managing the daily demands of life on the road and writing and recording new music that will connect with her fans.
"Fantasia has engaged millions of fans not only through her music and her amazing talent but also by her incredible fairytale life story," said Jeff Olde, Executive Vice President, Original Programming & Production, VH1. "Our audience helped Fantasia become an American Idol and now, with this series, they get a backstage pass into her real life as she confronts obstacles to realize her true potential as an artist, a mother, a daughter and a sister."
Viewers can catch a sneak peek of the season's first episode on VH1.com - several days before the on-air premiere. Subsequent episodes will be available on VH1.com the morning after they air. Additional video content from "Fantasia For Real" including extras from each episode will be available on VH1.com and on VH1 Mobile throughout the season.
The series is executive produced by Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato, Tom Campbell, and Jeremy Simmons for World of Wonder. Executive producers for VH1 are Jill Holmes, Kristen Kelly and Jeff Olde.
World of Wonder (WOW) was founded by Randy Barbato and Fenton Bailey in 1990. Since then the company has amassed a library of branded properties across all platforms, including such well known films as Party Monster, The Eyes of Tammy Faye, Inside Deep Throat and television shows Tori & Dean: Home Sweet Hollywood, Million Dollar Listing, RuPaul's Drag Race, Man Shops Globe and the entertainment blog The WOW Report (www.worldofwonder.net).
VH1 connects viewers to the music, artists and pop culture that matter to them most with TV series, specials, live events, exclusive online content and public affairs initiatives. VH1 is available in 95 million households in the U.S. VH1 also has an array of digital channels and services including VH1Classic, VH1 Soul, VH1 Mobile, VH1Games and extensive broadband video on VH1.com.

Penicillin V
(pen i SILL in)A-Cillin, Beepen-VK, Ledercillin VK, PC Pen VK, Pen-V, Pen-Vee K, V-Cillin K, Veetids
What is the most important information I should know about penicillin V?
Take all of the penicillin V that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may begin to improve before the infection is completely treated.
Penicillin V may decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use a second method of birth control while taking penicillin V to protect against pregnancy.
What is penicillin V?
Penicillin V is an antibiotic in the class of drugs called penicillins. It fights bacteria in your body.
Penicillin V is used to treat many different types of infections, such as tonsillitis, pneumonia, strep throat, bronchitis, and infections of the skin.
Penicillin V may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
Who should not take penicillin V?
If you have ever had an allergic reaction to another penicillin or to a cephalosporin, do not take penicillin V unless your doctor is aware of your allergy and monitors your therapy.
Before taking this medication, tell your doctor if you have kidney disease, stomach or intestinal disease, or infectious mononucleosis. You may not be able to take penicillin V because of an increased risk of side effects.
If you are a diabetic, some glucose urine tests may give false positive results while you are taking penicillin V.
Penicillin V is in the FDA pregnancy category B. This means that it is unlikely to harm an unborn baby. Do not, however, take penicillin V without first talking to your doctor if you are pregnant.
It is not known whether penicillin V passes into breast milk. Do not take this medication without first talking to your doctor if you are breast-feeding a baby.
How should I take penicillin V?
Take penicillin V exactly as directed by your doctor. If you do not understand these instructions, ask your pharmacist, nurse, or doctor to explain them to you.
Take each dose with a full glass of water.
Penicillin V can be taken with or without food. Do not drink fruit juice or carbonated beverages (soda) with your dose, however. These beverages will decrease the effectiveness of the drug.
Penicillin V should be taken at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night to keep the level in your blood high enough to treat the infection.
Shake the liquid form of penicillin V well before measuring a dose. To ensure that you get a correct dose, measure the suspension with a dose-measuring spoon or cup, not a regular tablespoon. If you do not have a dose-measuring device, ask your pharmacist where you can get one.
Take all of the penicillin V that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.
Store the tablets and capsules at room temperature and store the suspension in the refrigerator for longer use. The suspension is good for 14 days if it is stored in the refrigerator. Throw away any unused liquid after this amount of time.
What happens if I miss a dose?
Take the missed dose as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the dose you missed and take only your next regularly scheduled dose. Do not take a double dose of this medication unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
If you have only missed one dose, you can take the rest of your scheduled doses for the day at evenly spaced intervals.
What happens if I overdose?
Seek emergency medical attention.
Symptoms of an penicillin V overdose include muscle spasms or weakness, pain or twitching, pain in the fingers or toes, loss of feeling in the fingers or toes, seizures, confusion, coma, and agitation.
What should I avoid while taking penicillin V?
Alcohol may irritate your stomach if taken with penicillin V, so use it with moderation.
What are the possible side effects of penicillin V?
If you experience any of the following serious side effects, stop taking penicillin V and seek emergency medical attention:
an allergic reaction (shortness of breath; closing of your throat; hives; swelling of your lips, face, or tongue; rash; or fainting);
severe watery diarrhea and abdominal cramps; or
unusual bleeding or bruising.
Other, less serious side effects may be more likely to occur. Continue to take penicillin V and talk to your doctor if you experience
mild nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, or abdominal pain;
white patches on the tongue (thrush/yeast infection);
itching or discharge of the vagina (vaginal yeast infection); or
black, "hairy" tongue or sore mouth or tongue.
Side effects other than those listed here may also occur. Talk to your doctor about any side effect that seems unusual or that is especially bothersome.
What other drugs will affect penicillin V?
Some drugs may decrease the effects of penicillin V and prevent it from properly treating your infection. Before taking penicillin V, tell your doctor if you are taking any of the following drugs:
cholestyramine (Questran) or colestipol (Colestid); or
another antibiotic (for the same or for a different infection) such as erythromycin (Ery-Tab, E-Mycin, E.E.S., others), tetracycline (Sumycin, others), minocycline (Minocin), doxycycline (Doryx, Vibramycin, others), or any other.
Penicillin V may decrease the effectiveness of birth control pills. Use a second method of birth control while taking penicillin V to protect against pregnancy.
Penicillin V increases the effects of methotrexate, and you may need a dose adjustment during therapy with penicillin V.
Penicillin V also increases the side effects of allopurinol (Zyloprim) and may cause a rash.
Probenecid (Benemid) increases the effects of penicillin V. These drugs may be used together for this purpose; however, be sure your doctor is aware if you are taking probenecid. You may need a lower dose of penicillin.
Drugs other than those listed here may also interact with penicillin V. Talk to your doctor and pharmacist before taking any prescription or over-the-counter medicines.
Where can I get more information?
Your pharmacist has additional information about penicillin V written for health professionals that you may read.
Remember, keep this and all other medicines out of the reach of children, never share your medicines with others, and use this medication only for the indication prescribed.

On Saturday (December 3) a community engagement fair entitled Proud of Southwark, was held at Walworth Academy in Southwark, south London.
It featured a live panel debate, which gave the public a chance to look at issues behind August's riots across Britain.
The panel discussion also sought to get community-led reasons on why young people get involved in - and solutions on tackling - gang culture and gun and knife crime, which were described during the discussion as a "cancer" that was hurting communities and destroying too many young lives.
