DaBib - Finally, A Bib That's Got Your Baby Covered
Description: DaBib - the elegant, patented solution to outdated bib design! How many of your children's outfits have been ruined by carrot or fruit stains, or from milk running down your child's shirt - even though they were wearing a bib? Tired of laundering & discarding stained clothes? Looking for a stylish way to protect those beautiful outfits? Daily Candy agrees. They named DaBib as one of their must-have kids items. Moms are calling it "simply brilliant". DaBib is unlike any other bib on the market today. Developed by a mom, with rigorous testing from parents & daycare centers, DaBib's patented Scrunch Collar minimizes leaks onto clothing, and the patented hidden crumb catcher folds forward to pouch wide open - so it can actually 'catch' things (what a concept). DaBib comes in 2 styles: DaHugs, with a super absorbent micro-fiber terry front & waterproof back - terrific for the first year when the diet is largely liquid. DaGiggles is our wipe-off/waterproof style: no more need for plastic & rubber bibs that make baby uncomfortable. All of our bibs are machine wash/dry, and incredibly shrink-resistant. Imagine that, a bib that comes out of the laundry the same size it went in. And they're darn adorable too.

Raising Confident Readers: How To Teach Your Child To Read And Write -- From Baby To Age 7
Description: "Raising Confident Readers" is the first guidebook for parents to offer reading and writing development tips, games, and activities you can do with your baby and young child. According to Dr. Richard Gentry, one of our leading childhood literacy experts, babies can draw pictures (prewriting) and create narratives at between 2 and 3 years of age. A young child who is stimulated with targeted activities early and often can be reading, writing, and illustrating elaborate stories by age 4 or 5. Why does this matter? Because studies show that when reading and writing are taught to children starting at birth, their neural pathways develop in different ways. They are more intelligent, have a 32-million-word advantage by kindergarten over children who did not get this exposure, and are less likely to develop learning problems such as dyslexia. This is one of the best books for mothers of young children, because Dr. Gentry blends new findings about early brain development with fresh, original, and fun activities you can do with children starting at infancy through first grade that help them be smarter, more curious, more confident learners.

Conjcraft: A Minecraft Mod implemented in Clojure
When you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. Your tastes only narrow & exclude people. So create.
TL;DR: Source here, and here a video of the mod in action:
Conjcraft is a simple and extensible Mod for Minecraft written in Clojure (and some Java). Besides introducing two new blocks (Clojure and Github, which is hosting the source here), it brings an extremely simple and small DSL for writing Minecraft recipes.
The recipe DSL cleans up on on Minecrafts original one (which is alredy terse for a Java DSL). Compare these simple ones:
addRecipe(new ItemStack(Block.rail, 16), new Object[] { "X X", "X#X", "X X", 'X', Item.ingotIron, '#', Item.stick });
(recipe-dsl {\X :ingotIron \# :stick} "X X X#X X X" 'rail 16)
Small explanation: the Clojure version is essentially the ascii art of this recipe:
Disclaimer: I'll not try to teach Clojure here (besides saying it is a Lisp). If you need more info, there are great resources on the web.
This gain in expressiveness (which is come from the fact that Clojure is extremely more expressive than Java) is compounded in multiple recipes, specially after defining a consistent character to block/item mapping:
(def char-block (create-input-char-binding '( d dirt o cobblestone g github c clojure r redstone )))
Many recipes can use them:
(defn recipes [] (recipe-dsl char-block "d d" 'github "o o" 'clojure "c c c" 'swordGold "c c c c" 'bootsGold "cgc cgc" 'bootsDiamond "ccc c c c c" 'legsGold "ccc cgc cgc" 'legsDiamond ))
And finally, all of this is encoded in plain text Clojure files, stored in the conjcraft directory inside user.home (which on Linux and Mac OS it is usually the user's home directory, aka ~).
This way Conjcraft is very extensible, as it allows the users to add blocks and recipes, without requiring Eclipse or MCP, or to recompile and obfuscate the de-obfuscated Java code.
Such simplicity, though, did not come easily…
One of the things that has always amazed me about Minecraft is how simple its concept is. I believe this simplicity is actually paramount to its success: by giving you very solid and small building blocks (no pun intended), the game steps away and let the user create its own goals and be shine on its own.
This simplicity also lets other developers step in and create a huge variety of amazing mods (out of which, one my personal favorites is the Aether mod, for being a very ambitious project, and showing how much great content you can create on top of such a simple and powerful platform).
"Simplicity Ain't Easy": Stuart Halloway masterfully made this argument, exploring what simple is (one of the key points being that simple is "not compound"), its importance, and how Clojure is a simple language, which actually makes it very powerful. Inspired on the simplicity and power of both Clojure and Minecraft (and continuing my healthy(?) obsession with Minecraft and Clojure) it seemed only natural for me to set to create a simple mod on top of both platforms (natural because both of them run on top of JVM).
Modding Minecraft with Java is quite straightforward with the help of Minecraft Coder Pack (aka MCP) and ModLoader. Calling clojure from Java is also very straightforward, to the point that you basically need a Java class like this:
public class mod_Conjcraft extends BaseMod { public void load() { try { File file = new File(new File(System.getProperty("user.home"), "conjcraft"), "conjcraft_main.clj"); System.out.println("Loading clojure mod files from " + file.getAbsolutePath()); clojure.lang.Compiler.loadFile(file.getAbsolutePath()); clojure.lang.RT.var("conjcraft", "call").invoke(); } catch (IOException e) { throw new IllegalStateException(e); } } }
And then I was able to create a very small function, in 5 lines of Clojure, to add a recipe that would take one block off dirt and output 7 blocks of dirt:
(ns conjcraft) (import '(net.minecraft.src Block ModLoader ItemStack)) (defn call [] (let [dirt Block/dirt] (ModLoader/addRecipe (ItemStack. dirt 7) (to-array ["#" \# dirt]))))
This actually works pretty well when using Eclipse, or the recompile.sh script that comes with MCP. The fun really began when I started preparing to release it…
The 1st rule of the Obfuscator Club is:
You can't defeat the obfuscator. This is actually really important. Minecraft is obfuscated in its original distribution, which makes a lot of sense for a proprietary and commercial game. MCP tools de-obfuscate the original java code from its original form, giving methods and classes names very straightforward and sensible names.
The problem is that, in general, gamers will need your mod in the obfuscate code, as they game expects classes to use the obfuscated names. Therefore you absolutely must obfuscate your mod.
The 2nd rule of the Obfuscator Club is:
You can't defeat the obfuscator.
Clojure does have the capability of generating .class files with its Ahead of Time (AOT) compiler. Since the obfuscator does not operate on java source code, but on .class files, this could have helped. But it doesn't. Other languages that run on JVM like Scala (which compiles to pretty Java-like bytecode) and Mirah (which can even compile to Java source code) can actually get around the obfuscator this way, as long as you don't use features that require reflection.
To understand why it doesn't work with Clojure, let me show you what this simple AOT example:
(ns core (:gen-class :main true)) (defn -main [] (println "Hello World!"))
With some help of JD-GUI we can see the equivalent Java code of the generated class files, in particular:
public class core { private static final Var main__var = Var.internPrivate("core", "-main"); private static final Var equals__var = Var.internPrivate("core", "-equals"); private static final Var toString__var = Var.internPrivate("core", "-toString"); private static final Var hashCode__var = Var.internPrivate("core", "-hashCode"); private static final Var clone__var = Var.internPrivate("core", "-clone");
These seemly innocuous lines actually break in runtime. This happens because the obfuscator has another very important property: it puts everything on top level namespace (no packages). Note that the package "core" is written as a literal string, which the obfuscator will not touch. And currently there is no way to use AOT with empty namespaces
You could change the Clojure compiler, or use tools to manipulate the byte code on the class files, but there is actually a much simpler solution:
Breaking the rules: Defeating the Obfuscator
Clojure is famous for supporting one of the most powerful types of metaprogramming: template macros. I have not exploited it on the project because macros can be very hard to understand (think of them as functions that take code in its raw Abstract Syntax Tree form, and output another raw Abstract Syntax Tree), and I wanted to keep the project very accessible.
The point is that I used Clojure to generate Java source code, on compile time (the type of metaprogramming you always have the option to use, no matter the platform or base language you are based on).
This is done by the create_constants.clj script, which actually imports the de-obfuscated code and generates a Java file mapping all block, item and material names to their actual objects (the result cannot be published without breaking both Minecraft and MCP licenses, but reading the code you can get an idea of what the result looks like).
Using the property highlighted before, that the literal strings will not be obfuscated, and knowing that the obfuscator will not obfuscate the attribute names of classes you create (only make stripe their package), this static maps are available to be used directly by interpreted Clojure code.
The final element of defeating the obfuscator is the ExtendableBlock class. It essentially takes Clojure functions (clojure.lang.IFn interface), and delegate methods to them (some methods have to be re-exposed even when public, as the original public method names will be obfuscated).
Modding Minecraft is extremely fun, and it gets a lot more enjoying when doing it in languages that that are fun to use. I've used Clojure here, but there are many other languages that could have been used. So have fun, and create.
Thanks Notch for making Minecraft and supporting the modding community. Thanks for all the presenters at ClojureWest for inspiring me to bring Clojure to new places. Thanks Robert for making one of the best Minecraft modding tutorials out there. And finally thanks to all the creators of MCP and ModLoader for making modding a simpler and pleasant experience.

This is a really interesting project! But why is the repository laid out so strangely? I can understand the need for some shell scripts, but I don't understand why you decided to go without Leiningen altogether.
Very nice! With this and CmdrDats's clj-minecraft, we now have both client and server mods covered :)

Marie and Francis White started searching for a Southwest Florida retirement home a year ago, scouting properties and taking notes on numerous houses.
At the time, available homes were plentiful. But calls to listing agents revealed that every home they looked at had either been sold or had an offer pending.
In the months that followed, they toured dozens of properties, losing out on five firm bids. Then an offer on a short sale fell apart.
"I was really stressed out," Marie White said. "We were always four or five steps behind the buyers with cash. I felt like I was running and couldn't ever reach the finish line."
The Whites finally found a three-bedroom home in Parrish, and landed it by offering more than the seller's asking price. They expect to close next month.
In the year since they started their search, the median sales price in Manatee has risen 14 percent, records show, and the supply of properties in the Whites' price range -- under $150,000 -- has shrunk to 1.6 months' worth.
The Whites' experience is increasingly common in Southwest Florida, where home sales to cash-flush baby boomers and institutional buyers alike have fueled a surge not unlike that seen in the mid-2000s boom years.
Although most economists stop short of predicting another real estate bubble, current conditions match the housing run-up of nearly a decade ago. And market analysts fear the dwindling supply could again lift prices beyond what is considered stable.
"It's very dismal and frustrating -- especially when you have clients who want to live here, work here, and raise a family here, but can't find a home," said Kimberlie MacDonald, an agent with Coldwell Banker in East Manatee. "It's a superaggressive market."
The Whites' struggle has become increasing common in this region. Apart from the activity by of boomers and institutional buyers, builders have been unable to replenish inventory, leaving many scrambling buyers disappointed -- or poorer as a result of bidding wars.
Slim pickings
Of all the listings now on the market, inventory has become the slimmest among houses priced below $300,000.
Yet those properties represent the only supply that's affordable for roughly three-fourths of all buyers in Southwest Florida.
Even more striking, the inventory of single-family homes for sale under the $150,000 mark in Sarasota and Manatee counties had shrunk to 1.6 months' worth as of early June, records show.
That mark is under even that which accompanied the mid-2000s boom, analysts note.
In the price range between $150,000 and $300,000, there's just 1.9 months' worth of homes in Manatee and 2.7 months in Sarasota.
The measure represents the time it would take to exhaust the entire supply at the current rate of sales, if no new listings were to be added to the market.
Markets are considered in equilibrium when there is six months' worth of inventory; that's also the balance developers like to see before building homes on speculation.
By comparison, there was a 35-month supply in Sarasota at the trough of the housing downturn in December 2007.
The shortage has created headaches for buyers like the Whites, who are trying to sift through what's left.
"There has been a period of about five years where we had homes that were great bargains," said prominent area home builder Pat Neal. "Those aren't quite here anymore."
The result has been bidding wars, rapid price appreciation and offers that routinely come in well above sellers' initial ask.
Some worry the trend will ultimately crimp the region's brisk sales pace -- causing baby boomers to shift to second-choice destinations where more abundant inventories can be found.
"Don't these conditions sound familiar?" asked Diana Hill, a national real estate adviser and instructor for the Online Trading Academy. "If we keep up this mix of low inventory and bidding wars, it will send the market back into a tailspin."
The shortage has hit first-time buyers and middle-class families especially hard. The two demographics are more reliant on $300,000-and-under homes than any other group.
And now, those same groups find themselves in competition with billion-dollar hedge funds that are snapping up properties in droves for use as rental investments -- almost without regard for price.
Because those companies come with cash, sellers tend to give preferential treatment to their offers compared with offers that are contingent on bank financing, said Jack McCabe, a real estate consultant in Deerfield Beach.
McCabe fears frustrated young families will turn to rentals -- a shift that could take away a group that would normally become move-up buyers a few years down the road.
Nationwide, sales to first-time buyers have dropped 25 percent since last year, according to recent economic research from Peak Prosperity.
"First-time buyers and lower-middle-income Americans are being shut out," McCabe said. "It's not uncommon for them to put in 10 offers, many above asking price, and see every single one turned down. It's one of the reasons prices have artificially inflated at double-digit levels."
Market observers attribute some of the shortage to homeowners who purchased during the mid-2000 boom years and still haven't recovered much equity.
Even with prices in Sarasota County appreciating by $32,000 over the year, home values continue to trail those from the bubble by as much as 30 percent, Realtor records show.
Agents now say the shortage has created a cyclical impact, with potential sellers unable to find suitable new homes to move into, so they delay listing their properties as a result.
New construction also essential froze during the prolonged downturn, nudging buyers to the existing home market, a phenomenon that has eaten away at the inventory at an even faster pace.
"We're going to see the market skyrocket if we don't get some inventory real soon," said Marcus Vanzant, broker and owner of Marcus & Co. Realty in Bradenton.
To meet the demand, builders have been rolling out new projects.
But prices there already are rising, and most builders don't anticipate they will be able to overcome the shortage.
Lakewood Ranch-based Neal Communities, for instance, now has a waiting list for buyers at its six most popular neighborhoods.
Even with 350 homes under construction, the builder won't sell a home to a buyer that it can't deliver in six months.
The trend has spread as far north as Parrish, where builders broke ground on 895 single-family units in the first quarter -- an increase of 71 percent over last year's pace, according to the housing data provider Metrostudy Corp.
The number of new homes sold, meanwhile, rose an estimated 39 percent during that time.
"This is the dynamic we're facing," said Tony Polito, Sarasota and Tampa director for Metrostudy. "As the supply side dwindles, the only place they can go is the new home market, and that has helped building activity."
"The question is, when are the people who have been holding onto a house for 10 years going to decide now is the time to sell?"
HOMES: Dwindling supply. Rising prices. At what point does it all get too unstable?

• A daily summary of global reports on security issues.
In a joint Israeli-American effort to counter Iran's nuclear ambitions, a Stuxnet cyber worm tested at a secret facility in Israel's Negev desert wiped out about a fifth of Iran's nuclear centrifuges, The New York Times reported yesterday.
The Monitor reported earlier this month that the Stuxnet cyber weapon may have destroyed as many as 1,000 Iranian nuclear-fuel centrifuges in late 2009 and early 2010. By Feb. 18, 2010, quarterly reports issued by IAEA inspectors highlighted that there might be problems in centrifuge installation at Iran's Natanz plant.
However, what was unknown prior to the Times report was who might be behind the computer-based attack.
The Times report illuminates the role of Israel's nuclear arms complex Dimona, says the London-based newspaper The Guardian. At Dimona, the Israelis, with support from the United States, are reported to have been spinning nuclear centrifuges extremely similar to those used at Natanz in Iran.
"To check out the worm, you have to know the machines," the Times quoted an American expert on nuclear intelligence as saying. "The reason the worm has been effective is that the Israelis tried it out."
On the eve of his retirement Meir Dagan, head of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence agency, gave a summary to the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee saying that Iran was far from developing the ability to produce nuclear weapons after a string of failures set its nuclear ambitions back by several years, the Israeli newspaper Haartez reported earlier this month.
"Dagan concluded his term saying Iran was still far from being capable of producing nuclear weapons and that a series of malfunctions had put off its nuclear goal for several years. Therefore, he said, Iran will not get hold of the bomb before 2015 approximately," said the Haartez report.
The destruction caused by the Stuxnet worm makes military action against Iran less likely, according to several analysts.
In January 2009, The New York Times reported that in an apparent effort to avert such military action, President George W. Bush authorized a covert program to undermine the electrical and computer systems around Natanz.
"President Bush deflected a secret request by Israel last year [2008] for specialized bunker-busting bombs it wanted for an attack on Iran's main nuclear complex and told the Israelis that he had authorized new covert action intended to sabotage Iran's suspected effort to develop nuclear weapons, according to senior American and foreign officials."
The Guardian quoted Avner Cohen, Washington-based author of "Israel and the Bomb" and "The Worst-Kept Secret: Israel's Bargain with the Bomb," as saying:
"In the short term, it surely makes military action less likely. In fact, I do not see any military action against Iran anytime soon. It takes the pressure off. It does not mean military action is off the table, but it is not a short-term concern."
"For the long run, while it is impossible to predict, my gut feeling is that Iran will not have the full bomb. The only thing that would push Iran to the bomb would be an attack on Iran. I think Iran would ultimately emerge smart enough to avoid confrontation with the world but would insist to keep themselves very close to the bomb, still within the NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) claiming the right to a fuel cycle. Whether the west and Israel would be able to live with that, I don't know."
According to the recent Monitor report, Stuxnet works by targeting industrial control systems with certain specific brands of frequency converters – a type of equipment that controls centrifuge motors and rotational speed. The worm subverts the original speed requirements, ordering the converters to drastically increase – and then drastically reduce – the speed of the centrifuges in a subtle way intended to ruin or greatly impede output from those centrifuges.
"If its goal was to quickly destroy all the centrifuges ... Stuxnet failed," the Monitor quoted an Institute for Science and International Security (ISIS) report. "But if the goal was to destroy a more limited number of centrifuges and set back Iran's progress in operating the [enrichment facility] while making detection difficult, it may have succeeded, at least temporarily."

Doc Rivers says Kevin Garnett didn't talk about Carmelo Anthony's wife
During a radio interview Thursday, Boston Celtics coach Doc Rivers defused the rumor that Kevin Garnett mentioned Carmelo Anthony's wife in trash-talking during an altercation Monday.
"Well, No. 1, I know what's been reported did not happen," Rivers told WEEI. "I know that as a fact."
Garnett and Anthony were each assessed a double-technical for jawing at each other on the court, and Anthony was suspended for confronting Garnett after the game and approaching him at Boston's team bus in New York.
Said Rivers: "A guy does something crazy like Carmelo did, and the way to get out of trouble is to say, 'Well, he said this.' It happens all the time, and what bugs me about this whole thing is this is not a Kevin Garnett issue. And it was made into one, and it shouldn't have been made into one."
The Celtics coach said that players can cross the line trash-talking, but that Garnett knows better than to do so.
"It's pretty crude, I can tell you," Rivers said. "Out there at times, you hear some crazy stuff. But when it gets racial or personal to family, then that crosses the line. But I'm going to say it again: In this case, that didn't happen.
"(Garnett) does (know where the line is). He does. I will say that. I've never heard him cross the line. And usually when he talks about guys, it's usually about their game or their team or what he thinks if the guy's a winner or loser."
