Performance/Accumulating parameter
| Haskell Performance Resource
Accumulating Paramaters: Getting rid of the 'almost' in "almost tail recursive"
Often times you will write a recursive function which is almost tail recursive. Consider this naïve implementation of a reverse function.
rev :: [a] -> [a] rev [] = [] rev (x:xs) = rev xs ++ [x]
Compile and run a simple program like the following:
main = putStrLn $ show $ rev [1..10000]
Profiling the above, I found that it took 13.86 seconds to run, allocating 1,202,138,892 bytes of memory! That rev function took over 99% of both the program's time and space.
Looking at the function, we see it is recursive. The base step handles the case of reversing an empty list. The inductive step reverses the tail of the list, and adds the first element of the list onto the end of the list. By adding an accumulating parameter, we can make this tail recursive.
rev' :: [a] -> [a] -> [a] rev' [] acc = acc rev' (x:xs) acc = rev' xs (x:acc)
Here's how the new version works. acc is an accumulating parameter. The base case simply returns the accumulating parameter. The inductive step takes the head of the list and puts it on the front of the accumulator. Then it tail recurses with the tail of the list and the new accumulator value. In order to reverse a list, the accumulator should have an initial value of []. It's a good idea to provide a wrapper for functions written this way, so that the users don't have to deal with the accumulator.
rev xs = rev' xs []
Profiling this new tail recursive reverse function yields impressive results. The run time of the program is now 0.02 seconds! The reversal operation takes an immeasurably small time, most of the time was occupied with constructing that list of numbers.
The real performance gain came from the tail recursive implementation. Accumulating parameters are merely a means to turn an almost tail recursive implementation into a tail recursive implementation. The pattern to apply this technique to are ones which involve a tail recursion and a cons step. This latter step is performed on the accumulator and then passed into the tail recursive step.

SendBlaster Bulk emailer directly imports your mailing list email addresses and contacts from Outlook Express. You can import email address lists from Outlook, Excel, Access and any other source that can export mailing list contacts into CSV file format.
How to Import Windows Live / Hotmail contacts into SendBlaster
You will have to export your mailing list to .csv/.txt format (one record for each row, fields separated by comma, semicolon or tab). When you have the CSV file with your mailing list inside your computer:
Open SendBlaster
Go to Import section
Select the mailing list destination for new addresses
Click Import Button
You will have to tell SendBlaster where on your computer the CSV file is that you want to import.
Hit the "…" button
Select the CSV or TXT file in your hard disk
- Set the format, the field delimiter (usually its comma , )
Set the first row to contain field names (the default option on many software)
- Click next
Now you will have to tell SendBlaster the correct origin fields that will be imported into SendBlaster fields. Only Email Field is mandatory for importing the contact list, if your mailing list is full of your contact details you can set optional fields as well (for example: first name will be very useful for email merge when you send your mailings)
Hit Next button
When importing CSV and TXT files is complete, you will find the imported email addresses and contacts in your Manage Lists section. In the bulk email software, this is the final importing window with subscription summary.

text: Bruxism is a common condition which affects both adults and children. Also known as teeth grinding or clenching, bruxism is an involuntary condition linked to a variety of other concerns, including stress and misaligned teeth. When left untreated, grinding or clenching your teeth can cause damage to your enamel, as well as the jaw and surrounding structures. In severe cases, it can lead to fractures or tooth loss. Bruxism often occurs while sleeping and can go unnoticed for long periods of time. If your dentist identifies signs of grinding or clenching, they can recommend a treatment plan to alleviate your symptoms and protect your smile from further damage.

Starting From Windows
At this point, we have a project in Eclipse under Windows that will build with Visual Studio compiler, there are no errors or warnings in the IDE, and code completion works. The next step is to get the source onto a Linux machine and configure a Linux build. I'm using SVN to transfer the project between machines but you can copy the project to your Linux system instead.
Once the source is on your Linux system, open the project in Eclipse. You will receive errors and warnings about missing
include files and unresolved symbols, and the application won't build. The IDE is using Windows paths and build tools, which are obviously not valid under Linux. The first thing we need to do is create debug and release builds for Linux that point to the correct compiler.
right-click on the sort_win project and select Properties. Expand C/C++ Build and click on Settings. Select the Manage Configurations... button, and select the New... button, in the Manage Configurations window. Under name, enter Debug-Linux, select the Import predefined radio button, and select Executable→Linux GCC→Debug. Select OK. Repeat this process substituting Release for Debug to create a Release build (see Figure 5).
After creating the new build configurations, enable Debug-Linux: right-click on the project, browse to Build Configurations→Set Active→Debug-Linux. The IDE will now use GCC to build the application, but the code completion index is incorrect. When building applications across platforms, each platform needs its own index. The IDE has a setting to use the active configuration for creating the index.
To enable this feature, right-click on the project and select Properties. Expand C/C++ General and select Indexer. Check the Enable Project Specific Settings at the top of the window, and select the Use Active Build Configuration at the bottom of the window. Select OK. If the errors don't disappear right a way, rebuild the index as described previously (Figure 6).
Starting from Linux
Creating a project in Linux and transferring to Windows is a nearly identical process. Select File→New→C++ Project. Name the project
sort_lin, select Empty Project under project type, and select Linux GCC under Toolchains (Figure 7). Select Finish.
Next, add a main.cpp source file with the same source that was used in the Windows program. Once the project is complete, transfer it to your windows machine, launch Eclipse from the Visual Studio command prompt and open the project. You should notice that we have the same problem that we experienced previously when transferring from Windows to Linux: The IDE shows a bunch of errors and the project won't build. We need to add debug and release build configurations for Windows. Follow the previous instructions for adding new build configurations under Linux, but use the Executable→Microsoft Visual C++ →[Debug | Release] option. Next, add the path
${VCInstallDir}\include to both of the new build configurations.
If you activate the windows configurations, the project will build, but the IDE will still show a bunch of errors and warnings. As we did in Linux, we need to enable project-specific indexer settings. Follow the previous instructions to enable the settings and rebuild the index if needed. Make sure to add the Visual Studio path as mentioned previously before enabling project-specific indexer settings. A few times, I misspelled the directory and it defaulted back to use a fixed-build configuration. Double-check your settings if the errors don't disappear after rebuilding the index.

There are two possible options: one starts at Euclid and runs south, stopping at every stop, and then turning around at Lafayette Square and heading north without stopping, so that the bus can restart and southbound route quickly. It would run about every 20 minutes. The other option has the same return north, but begins its trip south at U or V Street. That means it will miss most people in Columbia Heights, but because it starts farther south, it would be able to run about every 15 minutes. Each route would only have 2 buses.
It sounds a bit like a band-aid rather than a longer term solution, unless more buses are added, but hey, every little bit helps. I still think you should use We Move DC as well.
It seems like using the bigger, articulated buses like they use on Georgia Ave would be a good solution too, but probably not cheap. (And on that note, I've taken the big Georgia buses sometimes and they never seem very full. Anyone else notice this?) The bus might start running on March 24 if all goes well.
Hat tip to Greater Greater Washington, which has the full story.

As the executive vice president of marketing at Top Rank Boxing and the deal agent for Filipino boxer and congressman Manny Pacquiao, Lucia McKelvey '00 has fought her way into the male-dominated world of sports business, and – now one of the top names in the boxing industry – is redefining the image of boxing and its position as a mainstream tier-one sport.
by Alicia Lutz '98
Photography by Mike Morgan
It's a Sunday morning. Her hair is piled up in a messy ponytail, and her thin, white wifebeater is still a little damp from the tension she sweated out during the early morning's kickboxing workout. She's sitting alone in her Washington, D.C., apartment. She looks around at her wilted plants, her still-made bed, her unpacked suitcase. It's the first time she's been home all week, and it's strange to be here. Lucia McKelvey thrives outside of her comfort zone.
The Las Vegas boxing gym is dark, dank – the kind of place you don't want to go without a bottle of Purell close at hand. The manager is gruff, rough around the edges, and his office is a smoky, wood-paneled box with a steel tank desk and a buzzing overhead light. She sits on a green plastic–covered chair with the stuffing busting through its seat and – sensing he thinks he has more important things to do than talk to her – gets straight to the nitty-gritty before he can lose his patience. Lucia McKelvey knows how to handle all kinds.
This is L.A. dining at its swankiest. To the right is her client, Filipino boxer and congressman Manny Pacquiao, and his team – most of whom have been by his side since his days living in a box on the side of the road. To the left are the bigwigs from Hewlett Packard – all men who've always been wealthy, always been powerful. She raises her glass to toast the $1 million contract she has recently negotiated between the two – the first deal she'd made since becoming Pacquiao's endorsement agent a month earlier. Lucia McKelvey doesn't just talk the talk.
Her voice is confident as she strolls into the executive boardroom of HBO's New York City high-rise. She commands attention, immediately silencing the swishy shuffling of the papers in front of the suited, grey-haired execs. They nod at her findings: The digital market research she's done speaks for itself. Knowing full well these men have their own research and experience to back up their own objectives, she makes the case for her vision for the future of boxing. Lucia McKelvey is willing to put up a fight.
No matter where she is, whom she's with or what she's up against, Lucia McKelvey '00 always holds her own.
The exception to prove that rule is an aside worth noting – one that gives our subject's future success in the boxing industry something of an ironic hook: When she was in third grade at Le Lycée Français de Los Angeles, Lucia McKelvey got beat up in the girl's bathroom. By Laila Ali.
"My daddy's a famous boxer, and he taught me how to punch," her classmate had threatened, unprovoked, before driving her fist into the 9-year-old's gut, overpowering her with just one blow.
Her first encounter with boxing had knocked her right off her feet. It was, however, the last time she'd lose her footing – the last time she'd get knocked down ever again. And, by the time she was seated next to Laila Ali at the Women's Sports Award Foundation dinner some 25 years later, she was well on her way to being counted among the top ranks of the boxing world.
For the record: That was also the last time in her boxing career that she'd be up against a woman.
Lucia McKelvey could never really stay in her comfort zone. The daughter of a flashy Porsche-driving retail executive who took the family to dinner in a limousine every Sunday and a down-to-earth, Volvo-driving supermom who never missed a parent-teacher conference or a softball game, McKelvey had the best of both worlds. But, while she and her brothers (one younger, one older) certainly got a taste of the high-profile California lifestyle her father loved, she took most of her lessons from playing sports and observing her family's strong work ethic.
It was all McKelvey ever wanted to do: Work. She took her first job at Russo's Grocery shortly after the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, when she was 14. And she never stopped. She loved it. And, so – after two years playing lacrosse and field hockey at Kenyon College – she decided to transfer to the College of Charleston, where she knew she could get out in the real world and get some practical experience while she was in school.
"I think I was born to be a businesswoman, and I wanted to get out there, I wanted to try anything. I really, really wanted all these internships in college," says McKelvey, who majored in business administration and wasted no time getting an internship with Morgan Stanley when she got to Charleston. "Any time you transfer in the middle of your college career, you're taking a risk. But for me, College of Charleston was the best decision."
That decision to get out of her comfort zone led to more like it, and she joined the semester-long London Internship Program her junior year, which allowed her to work at the London Merrill Lynch offices all day Monday through Thursday and take classes Friday and Saturday.
"It was perfect for me. I think just getting out of your comfort zone a little bit and challenging yourself to move to a place where you don't know anyone and you're unfamiliar with the culture is invaluable to your career – at least it was to mine," she says. "Any time you get out of your comfort zone, you get to meet all new people and build new relationships. Those are really good challenges. That experience helps you grow – whether you're a freshman or a transfer at the College, or whether it's travel abroad or a new work culture."
It was with that lesson in mind that – a decade into her career – McKelvey once again stepped out of her comfort zone. This time, into the big, bad world of boxing.
"Have you ever considered a contact sport?" the man sitting across the two-top asked her. He was a nice enough guy, a headhunter who was clearly familiar with her reputation as a shrewd and forward-thinking leader in the sports industry. After graduation, McKelvey went directly into a sales position at Clear Channel Communication, where she built up a hefty contact list. Those relationships made her attractive to global sports, fashion and media conglomerate IMG, where she eventually was hired on as the vice president of golf development and sales. As successful as she was at IMG, however, she knew she'd gone as far as she could there.
"What contact sport are we talking?"
"Never mind that," he said slyly. "If you'll consider it, I'll set up a meeting with the president and CEO."
And so McKelvey came to meet with Top Rank Boxing's president, Todd Duboef, and legendary CEO and founder Bob Arum, who promoted Muhammad Ali through the ranks. Top Rank Boxing is the biggest, oldest, most durable boxing promotion agency that exists, and its top executives wanted her on their team.
"Their message was, 'Hey, let's get boxing back on mainstream television. Let's take its reputation from being this manipulative, wheeling-and-dealing sport and bring it back to its prestige. They had a clear goal of turning the image of the sport into a positive one, something more mainstream," McKelvey recalls. "I got sold. It was a total Jerry McGuire moment."
Here was something she could get excited about, something she could be a real part of, make a real difference in. It was a whole new world for her to explore – and, sure, it could be scary, but she'd never let that stop her before.
"It's uncharted territory, and uncharted territory means opportunity," McKelvey says. "And not just for me, but for the sport itself."
Somehow, Lucia McKelvey doesn't seem out of place – she actually seems to fit right in. If nothing else, she does a good job of blending in wherever she goes. From the putting green to the boxing ring – she never seems to notice that she's the only woman at her level in the business of sports (much less in the testosterone-fueled business of boxing).
"You can't think about it like that," she says, noting that these days it's rare for a male colleague or client to forego a crass or bawdy joke for her sake. "I can hang. I know I can hold my own among all men. And I deal with all men. Everyone I deal with is a man. But in the end, it comes down to personality, and I have a very easygoing personality. You just have to be able to hang out with all kinds."
That was something that she didn't necessarily experience in the homogenous world of golf.
"I was very used to working with the likes of the corporate world, but not the likes of the boxing gym managers. It's an eye opener, for sure," says McKelvey, adding that she was totally dazzled by the first super-fight she attended.
"It exhilarated me. It's just so glitzy with the lights and the music and the entertainment, the star-studded audience – anyone from Bill Clinton to U2 to Beyoncé, Harry Reid, Jay-Z," she sighs. "It's bloody, but there's an elegance to it."
And it's not just the glamour of the fight that has McKelvey starry eyed: Since signing on with Top Rank Boxing in January 2011, she has become completely smitten with the sport, the business behind it and her mission within it.
"I'm having so much fun in the boxing industry. I find myself challenged every single day, all day long. There is never a dull moment," she gushes. In addition to "running all things marketing and all things digital" at Top Rank Boxing, it's basically her responsibility "to promote the sport of boxing."
Boxing has suffered in American popular culture over the years. A virtually nonexistent governing body has led to its reputation for corruption and seedy deals, which has only been compounded by its inaccessibility to the greater public. There was a time when boxing was a popular sport, available on all the network television stations. A series of 1970s–80s deals that were meant to pay the fighters more and bring in more subscriptions for the premium channels (HBO, Showtime, ESPN), however, inadvertently diminished the sport's viewership and its standing as a whole.
"Boxing has a lot of problems to be fixed. But I have found amazing room for change. I have found amazing room for growth. And I have found amazing friends in every corner of the industry," she says. "I think everyone understands that I'm there to make things better for them."
And she seems to be making a difference already.
"Someone did come up to me and say, 'Your image alone is good for boxing,'" McKelvey admits reluctantly. "Because they trust that if I'm associated with it – a woman, an educated woman, is associated with it – it must be OK. It builds confidence in the sport itself.
"So, yes," she concludes with hesitation, "my face – a woman's face – could be a good thing for boxing."
Of course, neither she nor her sport can get off that easy: To get boxing back to the tier-one level, McKelvey and her colleagues at Top Rank Boxing must make fighters visible again – shape their stories and allow the public to get to know them. They are doing this in large part through negotiations with TV networks and through the use of digital media.
"Boxing has a legacy like no other sport, and there is a lot of room for someone like me to come in and make change and get that sport back to a tier-one level," says McKelvey. "If I set up a meeting with a TV network, and we do make a deal, it makes an actual change in the history of the sport. So, I mean, it's pretty cool, right? Usually it's the commissioner of the sport who does that kind of thing – but, in boxing, it could be me. Me!"
Lucia McKelvey knows how to deliver. She knows what she's talking about and she knows how to turn words into actions. And – compiled in the form of the endorsement portfolio she has built for Manny Pacquiao – those actions have turned heads.
It was Valentines Day 2011 when she met the Filipino congressman, a month after she signed on with Top Rank Boxing. He was the only boxer she'd ever really been interested in; she'd seen HBO's 24/7 about his climb from the streets of the Philippines to the worlds of boxing and politics and – eventually – a position of national prestige.
But, when McKelvey finally met him, all she noticed was: He had no power in his handshake.
"I remember thinking, Wow! I could take him!" laughs McKelvey, who was introduced to Pacquiao as someone who could represent his interests in the United States and land him some of the endorsements he had been missing out on. "I'm sure he was thinking, OK, you look nice and everything, but show me the money!"
Exactly four weeks later, McKelvey closed Manny's first deal for over $1 million – this one for Hewlett Packard.
"It went on from that to another one, another one, another one," she says, adding that last summer she closed another seven-figure deal for the boxer, who has since become a close friend. "I had his attention then."
She also had the attention of The New York Times and The Washington Post – both of which featured her in articles over the summer – and of Georgetown University and UCLA, where she was asked to speak to the student bodies. Her work in sports is even the subject of a Harvard case study.
"I'm humbled by the fact that people want to hear what I have to say about a successful career," says McKelvey. "People are in awe of a career in sports, especially a woman – and a woman at the top. Especially a woman at the top of boxing! And at such a young age! People are really fascinated because I'm the unusual suspect – the last person you'd imagine in this position."
Whatever the reason, her work with Pacquiao (which has her flying off to Paris, to Manila, the Philippines, wherever, at the drop of a hat) has earned her some respect among the good-old-boy network that she says is at the top of every tier-one sports institution.
"Those men have subsequently come to really, really respect me. It's never easy, though, because men like to talk about sports with men, they like to talk shop," says McKelvey. "But when sports is a business, it's a different ballgame, and I want to tell you that I can talk sports as a business. I might not be able to rattle off every statistic, but I can definitely handle the back end.
"As long as you know your stuff, you can hold your own," she continues, although she acknowledges that women "have to know their stuff 10 times better. But if you know your stuff even more than they do, then it's just like a double whammy. It just blows their minds."
It may not be fair or just, but – at least in male-dominated industries like sports – McKelvey predicts it's always going to be something to contend with.
"You can't fight the good-old-boy club, and you can't try to join it or become one of the boys. That won't work either," she warns. "You have to be yourself and be confident in yourself. It's for sure a battle, but the best thing to do is learn to work within it."
Lucia McKelvey isn't scared to fight for what she wants. And, for as long as she can remember, what she's wanted is to be in the business of sports.
"I have a passion for sports, and I have a passion for business, and gelling the two together was always kind of my end-all, be-all goal," says McKelvey. "Sports as a business is where I'm meant to be. It's my passion upon passion. I think I understand it well. I love it."
And she's willing to fight for it, too.
"I know better than to let my guard down," she says. "Ten thousand people would take my job in an instant. Sports is a business that is competitive to its core. I mean, think about it: The people out there who love sports are competitive, and when they can't compete in the sport, they want to move into something they do know: sports. So there's a lot of competition."
Fortunately, she has fun learning everything there is to know about the business of sports – and the business of boxing.
"It's a very clever ideology behind sports. It's been really interesting for me," she says. "I love learning about ways to improve it, ways to do things, ways to capitalize on digital content monetization – how to monetize digital boxing angles. The sports world moves very, very fast – especially in today's generation where all the content is digital, so you have to teach yourself and learn from other people every single day. I am constantly out there with people who might run the digital part of the NBA and might run the digital part of MLB to learn what they're doing so I can improve mine, or vice versa."
McKelvey's curiosity hasn't gone unnoticed. Industry professionals can see that she is very, very smart.
"I'm not saying I am, but it's fun for them to think that," she says with a smile.
It certainly can't hurt her moving forward – nor can her charisma and foresight.
"I can see from a high-level perspective how to shape things and move things and do things," she says, lending some explanation to how she's managed to shape her career goal of being the CEO of a large company into her future reality.
"Ultimately," she says, "I want to run the show. That's where I see myself headed, and that's where I'm going."
And, no matter where she goes, whom she meets or what she's up against, Lucia McKelvey will always hold her own. No one – not even that Laila Ali – can knock her down now.

Matthew Barley's Around Britten Blog
From Nottingham to Penzance via Argentina
Around Britten in March kicked off in Nottingham with a whistle-stop tour of four schools in one day.
First thing in the morning I was faced with a room full of delightfully smiley 8 year-olds who listened so carefully to bits of Britten I played to them, and couldn't stop the questions afterwards – we then had great fun as they all got their instruments out and practised playing simple chords together, in perfect rhythm.
One young lad called Tomos came up and continued the conversation at the end and was so enthusiastic I invited him to come along to the concert a couple of days later – normally 8 years old would be too young, but he was bright as a button and I was sure he could manage it.
Another school had a room full of no less than 50 young string players for me, all scraping away on their instruments with great gusto. It's part of the government's scheme to have every child in the country play an instrument and it's really wonderful, although I wish there was a little more funding for more lessons – sometimes they only have 30 minutes for the whole class with a teacher each week.
Then I dashed back to London to play at the Houses of Parliament, working with a DJ and improvising and managing to insert the odd Britten quote! The following day was the concert in Nottingham at the Djanogly Hall, which is always a favourite place to play as it just makes a cello sound so good! Tomos came along and was still wide awake at the end having enjoyed every minute of it – I love having young people at concerts – their enthusiasm is a tonic.
The diary got a little frantic after that because the British Council wanted me in Argentina for something exciting (another story I'm afraid – not quite the space here!), and the only time I could fit it in this year was in March, but it meant that my next Britten date, at the Wiltshire Music Centre, would be the same day that I landed from Buenos Aires. I've never performed within hours of getting off a long-haul flight and wasn't sure how it would go, but I tried to eat as little as possible which always seems to give me more energy, and drink lots of Argentine Maté tea which is very energy-giving. I managed to get through the day – the hard bit was driving out there in the pouring rain and practising, and actually loved the concert. I had a super audience and again, the acoustic there is just fabulous for the cello…but the next day I was exhausted.
After a couple of days rest I was on the train down to Cornwall for my Western-most concert of the Britten year: Penzance. There's something almost magical about travelling down to Cornwall by train from London as the landscape steadily gets more and more rugged and arresting, until the final moment when you emerge from behind an embankment and see the bay with St Michael's Mount (pictured above) on your left, and the town of Penzance clinging to the hill. I think this week will be hard to beat this year (although it is early days) as I had an education project to deliver at Humpry Davy (yes, he of the mining lamp) School in the four days running up to the concert.
I had a class of music scholars who had been picked for their aptitude and received free lessons at the school, and with 20 of them we studied the way Britten had used fragments of Russian folksong for the solo suite I played to them and then created our own piece of nearly 15 minutes, based on three Cornish folksongs. It was a treat to see the students come out of their shells during the week as they got used to this way of making music, and they came up with so many wonderful ideas that I then structured to make the final composition. They played and sung all from memory in a faultless performance and it was moving to see the pride on their faces at their achievement.
Much of the week was spent in groups, unsupervised, where they had to work together to compose and it is challenging, but I can't think of a better and quicker way to develop the most important characteristics needed in the 21st century to make yourself employable – and, it's incredibly good fun! Win-win.
The concert was a thrill as the young students all stayed and it was great to see them enjoying contemporary music along with the Britten and its wonderful animation – and it was the first completely sold-out show of the tour. Afterwards I broke a personal record and managed to get from stage to train carriage in 16 minutes!

A true inspiration
Kera Parr's reaction to seeing Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray and a handful of his Bulldog teammates ambling toward her was just about what you'd expect from a precocious 16-year-old teenage girl.
A dream, perhaps?
"Oh…my…God!" recalled the junior at Locust Grove High - a lifelong Bulldog fan. "I was just trying not to have a heart attack."
No, this wasn't a chance meeting inside a shopping mall or at a restaurant hanging out with her friends.
Instead, this meeting was planned, one between the Bulldog quarterback and some of his close friends who simply had to meet the young woman whose courage has inspired them beyond anything they've encountered on the football field.
You see, Parr is currently undergoing treatment at Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston where she is battling Ewing Sarcoma, a rare form of bone cancer.
Parr's story is not unlike so many other youngsters who are treated there every day.
On June 11, a biopsy revealed that Parr was suffering from Ewing Sarcoma, which doctors discovered after examining what they first thought was simply a strained knee.
Unfortunately, it was much worse.
Wednesday afternoon, Parr completed her final phase of radiation and now must heal for another month before a new bone scan can be conducted to learn if the treatment has been a success.
Although doctors are certainly hopeful, with cancer, there are never any certainties.
But through it all, Parr's maintained her bubbly enthusiasm and infectious attitude, despite the loss of her hair and the tell-tale radiation burns on her body.
It's that zest for life and positive attitude that's had an effect on Murray, who along with brother Josh and fellow Bulldogs Chad Gloer, Austin Long, Blake Sailors and Bulldog cheerleader Katie McCreary surprised Parr with a visit to her hospital room on Monday.
"She was like 'Mama, they are so HOT,'" mother Belinda Schofill laughed. "She couldn't sleep the night before she was so excited. She was so cute with her wig and her Georgia hat on. It was just amazing."
Apparently, the feeling was mutual.
Parr was actually invited by the players to attend the season finale against Georgia Tech, but due to her radiation treatments, was too tired to make the trip to Athens.
But she wasn't forgotten.
After the game, players held up signs telling Parr hello, along with thanking her for being an inspiration.
Click Here to see a gallery of players taking time out of their celebration to pass on a message.
"Miss Kathy (Kathy Gloer) puts the pictures on Facebook and I must have read them like 20 times just to make sure I was reading it all right," Parr said. "It was just so wonderful that they wanted to do that for me."
As Parr soon learned, there would be more to come.
Despite being in the midst of preparing for final exams, the Murrays, Gloer, Sailors and Long were able to re-schedule their Monday weight session to drive to Atlanta to see their young friend.
"When we go through things like camp or mat drills, we might feel like life sucks but then we look at what Kera goes through and it puts everything in perspective," Sailors said. "She's definitey an amazing girl."
Schofill said her daughter has always been that way.
"Kera's always been a very strong person, and has always been one to make other people laugh, but it was good to see her with a different group of people she did not know, people who came to see her just to let her know they're praying for her to stay strong," Schofill said. "She's really an amazing girl, although she's not one to sit around and say 'Pray for me, pray for me.' She's praying for everybody else."
Rick and Libby Beach were inspired as well.
Residents of Hamilton Ga., the Beach's are huge Bulldog fans, who upon seeing a picture on Facebook posted by Gloer of Akeem Dent holding up one of the many signs, drove to Atlanta to meet Parr for themselves and as it turned to offer a helping hand.
As competitive barrel racers, the Beachs are organizing a rodeo fundraiser which Beach said is tentatively scheduled for January in Hamilton.
Although details are still being worked out, Rick Beach hopes several Bulldogs will be able to participate and is currently getting their apperance cleared with Georgia compliance.
"We just felt we needed to do something. Kera's mom is such a sweet lady and Kera is just an amazing girl," Rick Beach said. "And to see what these players are doing. I mean, it's not just because I'm a Bulldog fan, but to see these guys reach out to perfect strangers says a lot about their character, where they come from and how much they care."
Schofill laughed that it took a little convincing to assure her daughter that a fundraiser might be a good idea.
"When Kara found out she didn't want to do it because she didn't want anyone to think she was poor," Schofill said. "She just didn't understand, but I told her it's not because people think you're poor, it's just a way of reaching out to let you know that people care about you and are praying for your and things like that."
Parr admits the idea of seeing some of her new friends up on horses might be fun at that.
"We talk all the time and they tell me if I need them that they will be there," Parr said. "But yeah, that would be cool to see them on horses. Blake said he'd get on a horse for me. But I don't know, some of them are pretty crazy."

Jewellery Care
FeathersAll of our feathers are cruelty-free! Phat Feathers makes durable feather jewellery and accessories but please remember that feathers are a natural material and should be handled with care. By nature no two feathers are the same, which makes all of our feather items completely unique. Special attention is taken to ensure that feathers match, but customers should be aware that there may be slight differences. If your feathers become bent out of shape, you can easily fix this by using a pair of hair straighteners on a low heat and gently pass the feathers through the tongs. All of our feathers undergo a 3week cleaning and sterlisation process so that they are completely safe to be worn by humans. Some of our emu (naturally grey) feathers are dyed using RIT fabric dye or tumeric (yellow). All other feathers used at Phat Feathers are un-dyed and naturally vibrant.
Sterling silver will naturally tarnish gradually over time depending on how it is stored and when exposed to humidity and chemicals. For this reason we recommend you save putting on your jewellery until after you have applied any beauty or hair products. You should not swim, shower, bathe or exercise either when wearing your jewellery as this will only increase the oxidisation process and risk damaging them. Wonderfully, wearing your silver jewellery often will help it stay bright and shiny by exposing it to the light. When you need to store it however, it is best practice to keep your silver items in a cool, dark, dry place separate from one another so that they don't become tangled or scratched and remember to fasten any chains. To clean your silver jewellery, use a silver polishing cloth (avoiding any contact with the stones or crystals) and gently buff the silver to remove any build up of dirt. Our wire- wrapped jewellery is especially delicate so please take care when doing this so as not to unravel any of the wrapping. Silver jewellery that does not include any gemstones can be cleaned in warm soapy water and then dried with a soft cloth so as to not scratch the surfaces of the jewellery
Overtime your brass jewellery may start to lose its shine and become tarnished, but this can be easily rectified by cleaning with a soft cloth or soft toothbrush dipped in lemon juice. The acidic lemon juice can remove dirt and return the shine to your brass jewellery.
Silver-Plated Jewellery
We recommend you avoid sunbathing whilst wearing this type of jewellery as extreme temperatures and strong UV rays can cause the colour to fade and lose its original beauty. Do not swim, shower or bathe in this type of jewellery.
Our macrame jewellery is made using strong, waxed threads that are entirely waterproof. The jewellery is securely knotted together without any use of glue.
Alpaca Silver
Alpaca silver is a combination of metals formed to create a faux silver metal. This metal is also known as German silver or nickel silver and is made up of nickel, copper, tin and zinc. Due to the copper content (60%), the metal may develop a green tint, known as patina. Polish your Alpaca silver with a metal polishing cloth to remove any tarnish buildup. Normal day-to-day wear keeps the metal from becoming dull, however, exposure to soaps and other cleansers may create a film on the surface. Take care to avoid any gemstones when cleaning and do not submerge in water.

—MIMkids Mini Music Makers Parent
We love the early introduction to music with Ms. Katie! Emily especially enjoys using the instruments and although she is quiet and cautious in class, she practices all the songs and skills at home all week long.
I loved seeing Amelia come out of her shell more and more with each class. She loves music and dancing, and I love that through this class, she can be introduced to music making.
You really have no idea how wonderful your class has been for us! The last few months have been quite challenging for Riley with the arrival of her new sister, and she had suddenly become more withdrawn and insecure. Seeing her expand out a little more each class and gaining confidence with the songs, environment, and people is such a joy and relief to witness. And I truly believe it is affecting her behavior at home positively too as her tantrums seem to be dissipating as her confidence rises.
Please contact Katherine Palmer at firstname.lastname@example.com or 480.245.6962 with any questions.
Reservations are required; first come, first served. Due to space limitations, only one child and one adult per ticket will be allowed to participate. Please register for the session that is age-appropriate for your child.
However, MIM understands that younger or older siblings may need to attend class with a brother or sister. Thus, Mini Music Makers encourages participation of all children in the class, even those outside the age group. Because space and resources are limited, we ask that you register siblings whose ages fall within one year of the suggested age range.

Defeating the Silent Threat: Waterborne Radon in the Home
Radon in water is one of the most serious cancer-causing agents in America. Therefore, exposure to it is a danger that all homeowners should consider. Radon can affect houses of every size and type and can threaten both brand new homes and those that were built some time ago. For this reason, ensuring that the home is free of radon is of vital importance for all homeowners.
Radon is a colorless and odorless gas that is also naturally radioactive. It is produced during the process of radioactive decay in uranium, which is found to some degree in all rock and soil. Generally, the radon itself decays, releasing various forms of radiation including gamma rays, alpha and beta radiation. This process continues over a long period of time until the radon is reduced to a non-radioactive form.
When human beings are exposed to radon, lung cancer can result as the radioactive material is inhaled into the lungs where it attacks the vulnerable lung tissue. Due to this effect, radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer. Only habitual smoking poses a higher risk of lung cancer.
Sources of Radon in Water
Radon in water is dangerous because any disturbance of the water, such as heating it or using it in the shower or washing machine, can lead to the waterborne radon being released into the air where it can then be inhaled into the lungs. Therefore, contaminated water is the second greatest source of dangerous levels of household radon.
The primary source of waterborne radon is well-based water. Water drawn from granite-based wells, which are commonly known as artisan wells, is often the source of the high levels of radon gas that is dissolved into the well water. Thus, homes and water systems that are heavily supplied from groundwater sources are at a higher risk of high levels of dissolved radon and the subsequent danger of airborne radon contamination.
Testing and Mitigation Strategies for Radon in Water
There are many relatively inexpensive test kits available for purchase that you can use to estimate the radon levels in your home's water supply. In many cases, the state itself may provide these kits, or at least have information on where they may be obtained. Regardless, however, many homeowners choose to have SWAT Environmental perform an in-depth professional check of the home to determine the amount of radon in its water supply.
If high levels of waterborne radon are detected, there are a number of methods to deal with it, depending on the level of contamination. A common method for eliminating radon is the use of granular activated carbon filters, which bind the radon to the carbon. Specialized water aeration systems are another option; they allow the radon to be harmlessly dispersed into the outside air. SWAT Environmental's radon abatement specialists will be able to determine how best to handle the problem in your home.
Waterborne radon can be a serious home health hazard, but by testing for radon and relying on effective and economical mitigation strategies, your house can be rendered radon-free.

The U.S. Defense Department approved use on its networks of BlackBerry 10 smartphones and PlayBook tablets.
[np_storybar title="BlackBerry CEO predicts demise of tablet in 5 years" link="https://business.financialpost.com/2013/04/30/not-a-good-business-model-blackberry-ceo-predicts-demise-of-tablet-in-5-years/"%5DBlackBerry Chief Executive Officer Thorsten Heins said he sees a limited future for tablet computers, an indication he may shelve plans to build a follow-up to the smartphone maker's ill-fated PlayBook device. Read more.
The Pentagon also gave security approval to Samsung Electronics Co. devices running a secure version of Google Inc.'s Android operating system, according to a Defense Department statement.
The approval allows Suwon, South Korea-based Samsung, the largest seller of smartphones for commercial use, to compete with Waterloo, Ontario-based BlackBerry, the dominant mobile-device provider to the military.
"This is a significant step toward establishing a multi- vendor environment that supports a variety of state-of-the-art devices and operating systems," Lieutenant Colonel Damien Pickart, a Pentagon spokesman, said in the statement.
A similar security clearance is expected for Apple Inc.'s iOS 6 operating system early this month, Pickart said in an earlier e-mail.
The U.S. National Security Agency worked with Samsung to create "Secure-Enhanced Android," a version of Google's operating system with multiple layers of software and hardware protection, Tim Wagner, Samsung vice president and general manager of enterprise, has said.
Knox Security
The system, called Knox, lets employers keep corporate and military applications and data in a secure place on a smartphone or tablet, and remotely erase them if necessary. If a worker leaves the company or loses a device, employers don't need to worry about data being lost, Wagner has said.
While the military has relied on BlackBerrys, which have consistently received federal certification for protecting sensitive data, it has been testing Android and Apple alternatives.
Adam Yates, a spokesman for Samsung, didn't immediately respond to a phone call and an e-mail seeking comment.
Scott Totzke, BlackBerry's senior vice president of security, said in a statement that the new BlackBerry 10 "offers a rich, highly responsive mobile computing experience, along with BlackBerry's proven and validated security model."

John Bentley Hurtley is my 3rd cousin 1x removed. His parents are Robert Bentley Hurtley and Louisa Ann Naylor. Our common ancestors are Thomas Hurtley and Hannah Braidley, my 3x great grandparents.
John was born in Leeds, West Yorkshire in 1885. His birth is registered in Q3.
In the 1911 census John was a boarder at an address in Kirkstall, Leeds. He was following in his father's footsteps and working as a "butchers assistant".
I haven't been able to find any remaining military records on http://www.ancestry.co.uk or http://www.findmypast.co.uk. I have found a record of John on the Commonwealth War Graves Commissions website http://www.cwgc.org and also on http://www.forces-war-records.co.uk.
So I know that John was a Private in the West Yorkshire Regiment (Prince of Wales's Own) and served in the 9th Battalion. His service number was 37170.
John died of wounds on 22 November 1917 while fighting in France.
He is buried at St. Sever Cemetery Extension, Rouen, France.
The following information is taken from the CWGC website.
St Sever Cemetery and St. Sever Cemetery Extension are located within a large communal cemetery situated on the eastern edge of the southern Rouen suburbs of Le Grand Quevilly and Le Petit Quevilly.
During the First World War, Commonwealth camps and hospitals were stationed on the southern outskirts of Rouen. A base supply depot and the 3rd Echelon of General Headquarters were also established in the city.
Almost all of the hospitals at Rouen remained there for practically the whole of the war. They included eight general, five stationary, one British Red Cross and one labour hospital, and No. 2 Convalescent Depot. A number of the dead from these hospitals were buried in other cemeteries, but the great majority were taken to the city cemetery of St. Sever. In September 1916, it was found necessary to begin an extension, where the last burial took place in April 1920.
During the Second World War, Rouen was again a hospital centre and the extension was used once more for the burial of Commonwealth servicemen, many of whom died as prisoners of war during the German occupation.
The cemetery extension contains 8,348 Commonwealth burials of the First World War (ten of them unidentified) and in Block "S" there are 328 from the Second World War (18 of them unidentified). There are also 8 Foreign National burials here.
The extension was designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield.

Today I wanted to share with you the second cabinet that my Dad built for me. If you read my blog you know that he scored some "free" lazy susan's from some old eyeglass cabinets being thrown away, and we were able to build not one, but two cabinets. Here is a link to my previous post, Gaming Tower Swivel Cabinet. You will find all of the instructions for making these cabinets. They were inspired from Pottery Barn Teen, but without the high price tag.
Scrapbook Organizing Tower - Swivels 360°
The front of this unit houses my plastic scrapbook organizers. I organize alot of my scrapbook materials together because they are themed. For instance, I am doing a "My School Years" scrapbook for my son and all I have to do at the end of the school year is grab the plastic bin that has all of the materials in it. It's so easy to just grab the container and know that I have everything there I need to finish the pages.
If you don't have a label maker, I urge you to invest in one...I use it all the time in my house!
I re-purposed these Pottery Barn baskets that used to be in my son's nursery. They were a baby blue color, but I spray painted them white and labeled them with chalkboard labels.
This is one of the sides that has peg board. I simply just placed alot of my painting supplies on this side along with some decorative tapes. I am going to eventually do something on the bottom, just not sure yet!
I embellished some plastic jars with washi tape and hot glued a decorative gem to it. Now my paint brushed are easy to reach and look cute too!
This is the back side of the cabinet. It has a sheet of cork that I can display a page layout or anything my son has made me.
I took some of the decorative plastic gems and hot glued them to some flat thumbtacks to make them prettier.
The only thing different with this cabinet, is that we added three knobs to the back. I am currently hanging a scrapbook bag and my apron on them.
The other side also has peg board. I am using this side to hang my cricut supplies and my big paper cutter. I love that I can hang my paper cuter because sometimes it just gets in the way on my table or floor and was never in the same place when I needed it. Now I know exactly where it is at all times.
Here is a collage of all four sides.
Check out the video below....
Thanks for stopping by!

The latest update on the Brooklyn 2010 Census falsification scandal (Price Tag: $250K)Thursday, July 22nd, 2010
MyTwoCensus has been informed that Census Bureau employees have been lifting information off the Internet and falsifying forms at locations throughout the country. Whistleblowers should not hesitate to contact MyTwoCensus.com immediately. Your confidentiality will be 100% maintained.
On Monday, July 19, 2010, the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform held a hearing entitled, "Is Brooklyn Being Counted? – Problems With the 2010 Census" to examine a recent incident involving two senior managers at the Brooklyn North East Local Census Office who were fired for fraudulently completing census surveys. The hearing examined the steps the Census Bureau is taking to ensure the accuracy of the 2010 count. The New York State Congressional Delegation has been invited to participate in the hearing.
The hearing was held on Monday, July 19, 2010 at 10:00 a.m. in the courtroom of Brooklyn Borough Hall, located at 209 Joralemon Street, Brooklyn, NY.
The witnesses who testified were:
Dr. Robert M. Groves
U.S. Census Bureau
Mr. Todd J. Zinser
Inspector General
U.S. Department of Commerce
Mr. Lester A. Farthing
Regional Director
U.S. Census Bureau NY Regional Census Center
Opening Statement of Chairman Edolphus Towns
Opening Statement of Subcommittee Chairman Wm. Lacy Clay
Opening Statement of Rep. Yvette Clarke
Prepared testimony of Dr. Robert Groves
Prepared testimony of Mr. Todd Zinser
According to the New York Daily News:
The bungling was first uncovered last month when two census managers were discovered faking surveys by lifting information off the Internet.
Brooklyn Northeast census manager Alvin Aviles and assistant Sonya Merritt were axed – and 4,200 questionnaires had to be redone.
Redoing the phony forms – which is almost complete – will cost taxpayers $250,000, Groves revealed.
To make matters worse, a whistleblower recently alerted officials that some of the new surveys also were fudged by workers who took their best guess when no one answered the door.
The workers estimated the number of people living in a home based on information such as names on mailboxes, Groves said at the hearing.
"This … is a clear violation of procedures," he said.
Groves said the second snafu affected a few hundred households. He blamed the mistake on confused workers who misunderstood instructions.
The bureau is investigating whether information was faked in any other offices in Brooklyn or around the country.
He promised the bureau will come up with an accurate count and said that the recount of all 4,200 surveys will be done in a few days.
"I want to say how troubled I am that this occurred," Groves said. "This activity violates all the principles for which the Census Bureau stands. It is an abhorrent act."
According to Gothamist:
Census Recounters Messed Up Recount, Re-recount Planned
Those Brooklyn Census workers really don't want to lose their jobs. After being instructed to redo more than 4,000 falsified Census forms, workers at the Brooklyn Northeast Census office botched the corrections and must complete the forms a third time.
One office worker recently alerted officials that some workers were fudging answers when people wouldn't answer their doors—exactly what managers Alvin Aviles and Sonya Merritt did to get themselves fired and start this whole mess in the first place. The best part is the whole $250,000 SNAFU could probably have been avoided, since Census workers are allowed to leave questions blank if they cannot obtain the information by either first person or "proxy" interviews.
At a hearing yesterday regarding the first set of faked forms, Congressman Ed Towns said, "I represent a district that is comprised of a number of so-called 'hard to count' communities…These communities present challenges to the Census Bureau, but these challenges must be met." Census Bureau Director Robert Groves says the second round of mistakes were caused by confused workers who misunderstood instructions, and that it should be worked out shortly. Still, he said, "I want to say how troubled I am that this occurred. This activity violates all the principles for which the Census Bureau stands. It is an abhorrent act."

Affordable Pest Control Services for Bugs Plainfield WI
Call your local termites
(844) 293-4217
Reports say that you are never more than a few feet away from a rat or mouse at any time anywhere in Britain. As a result of ever increasing rodent populations, more pest control is needed. Rodent populations have increased due to a number of factors. Firstly the introduction of fortnightly refuse collections, but secondly local authorities decreasing their pest Termites Plainfield WI control activities. There are many local authorities in the country that have been forced, due to lack of funds available, to cease supplying a free pest control service. This, coupled with the economic slowdown, the need to cut costs both commercially and domestically has never been more important.
Both businesses and domestic people are looking for the most economic efficient alternative Plainfield WI than costly pest control contracts and job work. One of these "cheaper alternatives" is DIY pest control. Do-It-Yourself pest control has really taken off over recent years with a number of DIY pest control companies opening up on the Internet. Take DIY product for rats and mice for example, to call a pest control company out for a 3 visit Rodent Control Plainfield WI rat treatment can cost as much as 300 Franks, but to do the treatment yourself, and in most cases with exactly the same bait and equipment, can cost as little as 15 Franks. There are various ways in which to deal with your rat or mouse problem using poisons, live traps, cage traps, snap traps, electronic devices and plug-in repellers.
Poisons Plainfield WI can be very effective against rodents, but a lot of people tend to worry about children, pets and non-target animals, and rightly so. Most internet based pest control shops will provide you with expert advice on what to use and where, such as a secure, lockable bait box in which the poison is securely fixed within the box and a Plainfield WI key is needed to open the box, block bait for example is held in place by a metal rod running through the centre of the block, making it perfectly secure within the bait station. Live traps and cage traps are used to catch the rodent live, by placing an attractant inside the trap, the rodent will enter to feed, when Plainfield WI he does this the trap is triggered and the door closed behind him thus trapping him inside. Snap traps work on the same principle as tempting the rodent to the trap with a tasty treat but dispatching the rodent instantly.
The electronic device again uses the attracting principle and when the rodent reaches a certain point of the trap it is Plainfield WI very quickly dispatched. Finally, the plug-in or ultrasonic devices, are units which work on two levels. Firstly, ultrasonic waves are emitted from the unit, it is worth noting that on this setting the unit will only cover the room it is plugged in to and will not travel objects such as walls and furniture etc, the second function is electro-magnetic Plainfield WI pulses, these pulses will travel through your homes wiring, and on average covering an area of around 2000 sq meters.
These units make living conditions for rodent very uncomfortable and will drive your unwanted guests away. These pest-repelling devices will not work properly if used in conjunction with other pest control methods such as poisons, as you are trying to drive Plainfield WI away the pest on one hand, and tempting him back with a tasty treat on the other. DIY pest control is a fast immediate pest control solution for anybody to think about. It is worth looking at pest prevention after the initial problem has been fixed, thus reducing the chances of re-infestation in the following years to Plainfield WI come.

A man who led police in California on a chase from Claremont to Pacoima Monday afternoon was still at large more than 24 hours later, a situation that police say represents a sliver of chases that end with the suspect's successful escape.
More often than not, police say, officers eventually take down a pursuit suspect. About 6 percent of pursuit suspects escape the blaring squad cars, police and media helicopters and, sometimes, K-9 units, according to data that includes all California law enforcement agencies, NBCLosAngeles.com reported.
In 2010, there were 5,183 pursuits and of those, 341 suspects fled on foot and were not arrested.
Out of the 5,508 pursuits in 2011, 348 suspects escaped on foot. According to LAPD, that escape rate is "pretty good."
Some notable pursuit suspects have tried to hide in plain sight.

In 2004, a man led police on a chase from Simi Valley to the Beverly Center in Hollywood where he disappeared among the shoppers before finally being caught.
The next year, a pursuit suspect ditched his motorcycle at the Glendale Galleria and blended in with the crowd.
Monday's pursuit suspect appeared to blend into the brush. The chase began at about 4:45 p.m. in the Arcadia area when the driver of a dark-colored truck failed to stop for officers as part of a narcotics investigation.
Disappeared in trees
The driver barreled down freeways at times reaching speeds in excess of 80 mph before transitioning onto surface streets where he circled neighborhoods in Arleta and Pacoima for nearly an hour.
After driving into a dead-end alley in Pacoima, the driver jumped out of the vehicle, scaled several fences and seemed to disappear among the trees in residents' backyards.
By Tuesday afternoon, the man had managed to evade officers for more than 24 hours. Still, investigators say evidence left behind in the vehicle and two arrested passengers make them confident they'll catch the driver eventually.
A man and a woman jumped out of the moving truck during the pursuit and were subsequently arrested. The woman hopped out while the truck was travelling under a canopy of trees.
