This question came from our site for computer enthusiasts and power users.
The GPL license applies to the source of Java itself, not to applications created using Java. You should only be concerned if you are extending / modifying the Java language itself and reselling the result as a commercial product (or any other non-GPL license).
OpenJDK is licensed under GPL with Classpath Exception. The Classpath Exception part is important. It allows you to use OpenJDK with software of any licence, not just the GPL. In particular, you can use OpenJDK with proprietary software.
Java JDK binary is NOT GPL, it is BCL. Oracle is free to change the license as they please. (FAQ #8) That being said, Oracle cannot renege older versions of Java released under the GPL.
Always consult the License for up-to-date information. As of today the license states:
Keep in mind you cannot release Java SE on an embedded device (think Google Android) as stated by the FAQ.
The Java SDK source is available under the SCSL and JPL license.
You are confusing several things.
As I know , according to current license Java is under BCL(Sun's Binary Code License) , you can use JDK and JRE free for commercial use . Use ECLIPSE as your IDE as enty point to develop your Java code. It is an opensource one so you don't need any lisence for the same. When you are working on project , you will need many other tools to perform various stuffs. Most of required functions are given as plugins(downloadable) in eclipse.
After movement to Java BLC the entire licensing of Java usage is subject to interpretation which means "contact Oracle if you want to really sure".
That means pay if they want you to pay. As per BLC, Java can be freely used for "General Purpose Desktop Computers and Servers" (as in http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/terms/license/index.html) , whose definition includes words "general purpose computing".
I don't know if my computing is a general purpose computing - are you sure that yours is? Oracle have also added clauses like "used for general computing functions under end user control".
Check with your legal department.
No. As far as I currently know, the GPL only limits the use of the source code of the code or program licensed with it (in this case, the program which runs Java code). But it does not limit the Java code itself.
You can compile an application using gcc, which is free software. Then you can license your app as you please, but not the gcc compiler.

The 5 Craziest Soldiers of Fortune To Ever Cash a Paycheck
Some people are reluctantly called to war, either drafted into service or volunteering out of a sense of duty. Other people, well, they just really like fighting.
That's why there is such a thing as the soldier of fortune, the mercenary who'll show up and fight in a war between two countries he didn't even know existed until they offered him a paycheck. It takes a certain breed of person to lead this lifestyle. And that breed is batshit insane.
#5. James Long Takes on Texas
You know how sometimes you just get fed up that your government isn't doing something about those bastards across the border? And how sometimes you just go gather your own army and go to war on your government's behalf? No?
"We have the Second Amendment for a reason. And that reason is going to war whenever we feel like it."
Well, then you're not James Long, a wealthy military surgeon and war veteran. In the early 1800s he settled down in Mississippi, planning nothing more for his future than a quiet, Southern kind of life. Until ...
In 1819, America signed a treaty with Spain that would just let those sons of bitches have Texas! And all the U.S. got in return was freaking Florida. Long could do nothing but sit on his plantation, watching the events unfold and quietly seething in patriotic rage until he just couldn't take it anymore.
"What the fuck, arbitrary borderline? I thought we were friends!"
The Madness:
In 1820, Long finally snapped. He gathered several hundred followers and marched straight into Texas. His crew, rumored to be unofficially endorsed by the U.S. government, employed what was perhaps the simplest tactic in military history: They flat out walked in and took over the central town of Nacogdoches. There, they passed the declaration of independence for the newly formed Republic of Texas, elected Long for their president and proceeded to just settle in, establishing their own newspapers and customs rules and everything. While literally in the middle of the legal jurisdiction of a rather powerful and heavily armed European superpower.
This is a rip-off of something, but we're just not quite sure what.
A month later, the laughter finally died down in Spain and they realized that, holy shit, this Long guy is actually serious. So they sent a 500-strong force to drive him and his followers the hell out of Texas.
Long escaped with his life and whatever dignity he imagined he still had -- and immediately proceeded to raise another army, this time against the freshly independent Mexico that was now in possession of his precious Texas. He managed to gather some 300 men (and his pregnant wife, because whatever could go wrong?), march in Texas yet again and straight up commandeer a Mexican military fort.
Noted for its excellent pre-natal plan.
Mexico, like Spain before, was getting a bit annoyed by now, so they went in and arrested Long. He was sent to a prison in Mexico City where he was assassinated by a sentry in 1822, presumably while trying to recruit him into his Texas Crusade Mk. III.
Meanwhile, his arguably more badass wife and three kids were holding off invaders with cannons.
#4. Neall Ellis Trolls Sierra Leone Rebels to Defeat
Neall Ellis had a successful career as a military pilot behind him and an easygoing civilian life to look forward to. There was just one problem: He was immensely bored with living like a regular guy.
So Ellis decided to become a soldier for hire. Specifically, he started taking work as a private mercenary helicopter pilot, securing his first contract fighting for Bosnia in the Yugoslav wars. After that, he spent some time in Angola. Finally, in the late '90s, his duties took him to Sierra Leone.
Um, that's probably a welcoming rocket launcher.
The Madness:
The Revolutionary United Front, a rebel faction fighting the UN-supported government of Sierra Leone, was winning in 1999. They were knocking on the door of the nation's capital, Freetown, and the situation was in fact so hopeless that British forces were abandoning the area just as Ellis arrived.
"The beer's in the fridge. Don't get killed too much!"
Ellis and his team, however, were unshaken by the fact that they were pretty much the only foreigners still in the game. They stayed and fought, presumably for their own amusement, flying missions with Ellis' gunship helicopter and messing with the rebels any way they could. The RUF got so enraged by him that they soon sent him a message:
"If we ever catch you, we'll cut out your heart and eat it."
Ellis responded by stocking his gunship full of weapons (in case he should ever be shot down) and hovering over RUF strongholds, showered them with leaflets saying:
"RUF: This time we've dropped leaflets. Next time it will be a half-inch Gatling machine gun, or 57 mm rockets, or 23 mm guns, or 30 mm grenades, or ALL OF THEM!"
"I'll probably throw myself out, and then you'll be sorry."
After a while, the government of Sierra Leone stopped paying Ellis, because they were forced to abandon the Freetown area, too. Ellis, however, enjoyed the little flame war he got going so much that he kept flying missions for another year, pro bono. During that time, in addition to his usual antics, Ellis single-handedly stopped the RUF from advancing into Freetown -- without a co-pilot, in the middle of the night and without any night vision.
The first time they forgot the grenades, and everyone knows you get your whole war free if that happens.
At some point, the Brits realized that the ragtag bunch of madmen they'd left behind were actually winning, so they skulked ashamedly back into the fight by financing Ellis and offering assistance.
Ellis and his helicopter stuck with Sierra Leone all the way up to the RUF's defeat in 2002. What does he think of the war-torn country he's spent years fighting in, with a significant portion of its denizens wanting to eat his heart? He loves it. So much, in fact, that he's going to move there when he retires.
"No other country will let me keep my helicopter and my missiles."
#3. Carl Gustav von Rosen and the Biafra Baby Fleet
Some guys just really, really like war.
Take Swedish count Carl Gustav von Rosen. Oh, his career started off normally enough. He started his flying career doing small plane stunts in an aerial circus, then got his first taste of military conflict when Italy invaded Ethiopia in 1936, at which point he apparently said, "I want to do nothing but this, from now on. Find me a war!"
Wow, Germany, that's surprisingly generous!
So, when World War II broke out, he immediately volunteered in the Finnish Air Force to combat the Soviet Union. There, he gained notoriety as a bomber -- literally. Unable to score a bomber plane that satisfied his needs, he opted for physically pelting the Soviet troops with bombs, throwing them by hand at the terrified Reds from the open cargo door of a civilian airliner.
"Adequate arm room, helpful air-hostesses, effective destruction. Would fly again."
This is when von Rosen started to run out of militaries willing to let him fly for them. He applied to the RAF but was rejected due to his family's Nazi connections. As a backup plan, he went back to flying commercial flights, and after the war became a special UN pilot. After narrowly avoiding death when the United Nations aircraft he was supposed to be piloting was blown up over the Congo, von Rosen decided to take some time off in 1969. And by "time off" we mean he scoured the globe looking for another war to join.
For some reason the wars always erupted a few days after he left their protected airspace.
He decided to head to Biafra, to help them in their civil war against Nigeria. Why? Because life just wasn't worth living unless he was flying in an aircraft that other people were shooting at.
The Madness:
Upon arrival, von Rosen noticed some imbalance between the warring parties' aerial capacities. Namely, the Nigerian Air Force consisted of powerful Soviet MiG-17 fighters and large bombers, whereas the Biafran counterpart consisted of paper airplanes that the generals made and threw into the sky.
The Soviet Nerf-gun 3000.
So he set out to improve their fleet -- the von Rosen way. He bought five of the tiniest, least intimidating planes he could find. Then, he turned these propeller-driven training planes into makeshift war machines by ... well, strapping some rockets onto their wings and giving them a green paint job. That's it, really.
The Pimp My Ride of the aviation world.
Still, beggars can't be choosers, and a fleet of tiny, overloaded almost-planes is better than nothing as far as the Biafrans were concerned. So von Rosen was allowed to lead his "Biafran Babies" to battle. And boy, did they kick some serious ass.
Somehow, von Rosen's fleet managed to destroy air bases, troop formations, power plants and a good chunk of the superior-on-paper Nigerian Air Force. Despite being under heavy anti-aircraft fire roughly 100 percent of the time and returning from many of their missions riddled with bullet holes, not one Biafran Baby was ever shot down.
It would be like hitting a mosquito with a house.
Eventually, the Biafrans did lose the war -- but we imagine the old Nigerian war veterans piss themselves to this day whenever they hear the squeaky buzz of a toy plane.

McCorkle mentored one of the finest cornerbacks in Dartmouth history in Shawn Abuhoff '12, who earned first-team All-Ivy honors in both 2010 and 2011, and finished his career one interception shy of the school's career record. Abuhoff and safety Pete Pidermann '10 were selected for the All-Ivy second team in 2009 as the Big Green pass defense ranked third in the conference that year.
In his first season on staff, three members of the Green's defensive secondary in 2005 — Steve Jensen, Mike Ribero and Ian Wilson — earned All-Ivy recognition as Dartmouth ranked first in the league in pass defense and 14th in the FCS. Wilson received All-Ivy recognition twice more, as did John Pircon in 2006 and '07.
In 2003-04, McCorkle was the head coach at Martin County High in Stuart, Fla. In 2003, he led Martin County to its best record in 10 years.
McCorkle previously coached at the University of Tennessee-Martin from 2000-02. He coached the defensive secondary in 2000 and was defensive coordinator in 2001-02. He coordinated the punt return, extra point and field goal blocking and kickoff teams while assisting with punt and kickoff return teams.

How does the new school specialization work in dnd 4E? Do you get more feats to choose from or does it just give a static bonus or is it something different from either of those?

School specialization is a feature of the Wizard (Mage) class that has been introduced by the D&D Essentials line. It is not naively1 supported by the other two Wizard subclasses: the Arcanist (first one, published in Player's Handbook), and the Bladesinger (published with the recent Neverwinter Campaign Guide).
At 1st level Mages specialize in one out of the (currently) 6 schools of magic. Note that these schools don't directly relate to the 8 schools of previous editions. Mages then get school-related abilities at
Many powers on the Wizard power list have now a keyword representing their school of magic. These keywords interact with the apprentice, expert ad master features.
Just for allowing a better comprehension, I've listed below the 6 schools and their corresponding apprentice feature.
School keywords are given to old and new Wizard powers in this official article.
1 The current trend from WotC is to design feats that allow characters from a subclass to get feature of another subclass. A D&D Insider article explains, for example, how to trade a Cleric (Templar) feature for the Cleric (Warpriest) Domain feature. I think something similar would be done for the Wizard subclasses too.
Basically how school specialization works is the following:
At L1 you select a school in which to specialize. You gain the benefit granted by that school to powers with that school's keyword (For instance Evocation specialization gives you brutal 1 on Evocation powers).
As you level up you gain mastery in your chosen school as well as being able to pick up another school.
There are also some feats tied to specific schools, but I'm not sure if they have specialization in the school as a pre-req.

I have a SQL Server that must be accessed using various DNS names (SQL1, sql1.contoso.local, sql1.contoso.com, etc) and I'm struggling with creating a correct SSL certificate that can be used to secure all these name.
I have created SSL certificate with Subject (CN) containing sql1.contoso.com and with several SAN entries: DNS=SQL1, DNS=sql1.contoso.local, etc.
Using this certificate I can connect using encrypted connection only when I use the server sql1.contoso.com. Using other names will result in this error message in SQL Server Management Studio:
A connection was successfully established with the server, but then an error occurred during the pre-login handshake. (provider: SSL Provider, error: 0 - The certificate's CN name does not match the passed value.) (Microsoft SQL Server, Error: -2146762481)
I'm connecting to the server from a computer that trusts the CA that issued the SSL certificate used on the SQL Server and all the firewalls are correctly opened to allow connections using the 1433 port.
Is it possible to configure by SQL Server so I can connect to it using several domain names of the server with encrypted connection?

I think defaut focus should be on first question or anywhere else(dont really matter that much- maybe ask question as default focus? I know it just sounds cool) and questions should have tabindexes(so keyboard/vi oriented people can have better experience). Please dont put tabindexes on tags, because that would hurt.
As show by this question search should not have tabindex, we dont want people to use that function plus it can overheat the servers.

Donaldson invariants are a count of instantons (the solutions to a particular elliptic PDE) on 4-manifolds. One thing which makes the theory difficult is a lack of compactness for the moduli spaces of instantons: sequences of instantons can end up singular in the limit, near points where they form ''bubbles''. Many of the applications of Donaldson theory to 4-manifold topology can be recovered in the analytically simpler Seiberg-Witten framework, where a Weitzenböck identity allows you to prove that the moduli spaces of solutions to the Seiberg-Witten equations are actually a priori compact.
(One aspect of) Donaldson-Thomas theory is a complexification of Donaldson theory, counting certain generalised instantons on Calabi-Yau 4-folds (see Donaldson & Thomas, Gauge theory in higher dimensions, Equation 9: available here). A major problem which people seem to be working hard on solving (for example this recent preprint of Walpuski) is a lack of compactness for these equations. My question is:
Does there exist a Seiberg-Witten analogue of Donaldson-Thomas theory which circumvents these compactness issues?
If so the trick can't be as simple as the Weitzenböck identity, which allows you to bound the $L^{\infty}$-norm of the (spinor part of the) solution in terms of the scalar curvature, because the scalar curvature vanishes on a Calabi-Yau 4-fold.

Run to your Spin® class, do the class and then leave before you've spent too much time at the gym! For some, you are dodging the parking fees or perhaps just running home to feed the kids and the spouse. Sound like your story? Either case, if you leave your Spin® class without stretching at the end, it will be a tremendous stretch to state that you will be free from injury! Nope, the opposite applies. You are prone to severe injuries.
As soon as the teacher states, "Great job tonight class!" this is the time to realign the structure of your body from a c-curved, kyphotic posture held for an hour. It is true that Spin® classes take you out of the saddle allowing you to stretch your hips, hamstrings, quads and spine, however, the muscles will remain in their shortened position due to sitting in the saddle if you don't restore your body to its proper length tension relationship after class.
So stay for the stretch after Spin® class! I talk about the importance of stretching in tool #47 in Breaking the Chains of Obesity, 107 Tools. Stretching is beyond important to not only those who wish to be active during the week, but for those who are completely inactive too. So, in addition to stretching after your Spin® class, consider stretching every day on the hour every day. If you have a desk job, your body is in a compromised posture for hours on end. Even if you think you stand a lot, most likely you still do not move enough. Take a minute to simply recall the ratio of standing to sitting you actually do in a day. Think about it; you're sitting right now reading this article. Get up for a second. Stretch by lifting your arms up to the sky. Do some shoulder rolls; stretch your forearms, your chest, hamstrings, calves and quads. Walk around your job. Some classes that emphasize stretching is Yoga, foam rolling, restorative classes, and tai chi.
As humans, our bodies are designed to be very mobile. We are also built to move in different directions and be limber. If you go to China, you will see that the Chinese squat into a deep knee posture while they eat and even when they take a break. Their joints are optimal. Other societies, especially in the USA, are all about the technological boom which causes us to remain seated all day every day, thereby diminishing the functionality of half of the mechanical systems. You don't use it, you lose it!
Not only do you lose it, but you will also experience the annoying degenerative diseases that are painful, alongside the potential risk of osteoporosis, and of course spinal stenosis and sciatica. Most of these joint diseases are avoidable. No matter your age or your current health condition, start today by getting up now (yes right now!) and stretch your body. Your body is your temple! Treat it royally..Every day!

I cannot understand how this patent was awarded. It seems very similar to a previous US patent, 5,600,892 and the products advertised as protected by the 8272136 patent is very similar to the product built on the original patent. How could the USPTO not have found the '892 patent when examining the application that resulted in the '136 patent?

CHEMSFORD, Mass. -- Fewer people applied for jobs in the retail sector in June, according to the July Kronos Retail Labor Index. The July report includes data for June 2011.
The number of applications received by retailers in the Kronos sample fell sharply in June 2011, to just 900,164 from a revised 1,149,879 in May, all on a seasonally adjusted basis. This was the lowest number of applications received since November 2007 and nearly 17% below its level one year ago.
"While hiring did decline in June, it remains well above levels seen near the end of the recession and during the early recovery period," said Chris Varvares, senior managing director and co-founder, Macroeconomic Advisers, which prepares the analysis and write-up for the Kronos report.
Varvares noted that the recovery in hiring has slowed in recent months, with firms hiring just 6% more workers in June than they did this time last year.

How to Make a Single Crochet
The single crochet (abbreviated sc) is the most fundamental of all stitches. The compact single crochet stitch creates a tight, dense fabric. You use this stitch over and over again, alone or in combination with other stitches:
Crochet 17 chain stitches.
This step makes a foundation chain. You work your first row of stitches into this foundation chain.
Insert the hook from front to back into the second chain from the hook.
Be sure that you have the right side of the foundation chain facing you and your yarn hand holding the foundation chain.
With your yarn hand, wrap the yarn from back to front over the hook.
What you've just done is called a yarn over (abbreviated yo).
Rotate the throat of the hook toward you with your hook hand, and pull the hook with the wrapped yarn through the stitch.
You should have two loops on your hook.
With your yarn hand, wrap the yarn from back to front over the hook.
You completed another yarn over.
Rotate the throat of the hook toward you with your hook hand, and draw the hook with the wrapped yarn through both loops on the hook.
One single crochet is now complete, and one loop remains on your hook.
To work the next single crochet stitch and continue the row, insert your hook into the next chain stitch.
This step starts your second row of stitches.
Repeat Steps 3 through 6.
You've now completed the second stitch.
Work 1 single crochet stitch (sc) in each chain stitch (ch) across the foundation chain.
You should have 16 single crochet stitches, or one row of single crochet.
If you're wondering what happens to your 17th chain stitch in single crochet, remember that you worked your first single crochet into the second chain from the hook. The skipped chain stitch is considered a turning chain that brings you up to the level needed to work your first stitch of the new row.

Not requiring the other classes won't work, my extension basically has a structure like Ext has, some basic functions and shortcuts on the main class and then subclasses.
What do you think about adding alternateClassName:['MyExtension.Main'] to my main class and then always requiring it though MyExtension.Main?

When my wife and I joined the demonstrators against PAYT at Government Center on Tuesday, we were shocked and disappointed by what we saw: People holding hand written signs that contained messages and language not appropriate for the occasion.
The "F" word could be seen in one of the signs that I considered an insult. Most insulting was the lack of respect and insensitivity for the families present at the demonstration.
Besides the lack of judgment, we also saw some demonstrators holding signs asking for Mayor Will Flanagan's recall, which, in our view, was also not appropriate for the occasion. When the demonstration was called, it was to demonstrate against the PAYT and the new fees that the city wants to impose on private haulers doing business in this city for a long time.
We believe that the leaders of the demonstration definitely misled us when they called people to join them. They were opportunists who took advantage of those of us who acted in good faith to forward their political agenda.
Shame on them for that, because next time, instead of 50 people demonstrating, they will have only a few radicals who are always ready to show off.
Our hope for a large number of demonstrators was vanished as soon as we got there, and our disappointment grew even more due to lack of interest demonstrated by Fall River residents.
Where are those who on a daily basis complain about city business? Where are those who on a daily basis keep on calling radio stations, Portuguese and English stations, to complain about the new trash pickup system? Where were you?
After one hour of witnessing this, we decided that it was time to go home and do the same as the majority of Fall River residents did: Go on with our lives and forget about PAYT. We can live with it.

WHEELING - A great deal of time, money and effort has been spent over the last several years to make downtown Wheeling's historic Capitol Theatre a destination once again, but most of that work has been done behind the scenes, the results hidden from view of the thousands who come to enjoy shows there each year.
Frank O'Brien hopes 2013 will change that, as the Capitol Theatre heads in a new direction that patrons will be able to see - and feel.
"We are getting ready to announce a major fundraising campaign for the theater in an effort to replace all 2,560 seats. ... We think it will be the most significant thing we have done for the theater," said O'Brien, executive director of the Wheeling-Ohio County Convention and Visitors Bureau, which owns the theater.

File Photo
Theater-goers gather in preparation to attend a show at downtown Wheeling's Capitol Theatre.
Slightly more than $1 million is needed to fulfill the CVB's wish list, which includes paint work and new carpeting in addition to wider, more comfortable seating. According to O'Brien, the venue's seats date back to 1948, and haven't been recovered since the 1960s or 1970s.
"We understand that they're uncomfortable, and that's why we're working hard to get them replaced," he said.
Re-opened in the fall of 2009 after a more than two-year hiatus, the Capitol Theatre has experienced near-constant renovations and upgrades since the CVB purchased the venue from LiveNation in February of that year. But much of that work - projects such as a new fire escape, smoke detectors, a full kitchen and historically-correct windows - is not noticeable by the viewing public.
O'Brien said the theater is faring well financially. The CVB - funded entirely through bed tax revenue collected from patrons at Ohio County hotels - continues to pay about $22,500 monthly to pay back the $1.5 million loan it took out to purchase the building and correct the code violations that had kept the venue shuttered from May 2007 to September 2009.
The CVB is on track to retire that debt by 2019 or earlier.
Attendance numbers for 2012 are still being tabulated, but O'Brien said at last count the theater was on track to reach 54,000 patrons for the year, and he said an estimated 154,000 people have attended shows there since it re-opened. The venue has twice hosted the comedy of Jerry Seinfeld, performances by the Wheeling Symphony Orchestra and Mannheim Steamroller, and productions of shows such as "West Side Story," "A Chorus Line" and "Lord of the Dance."
O'Brien said the theater remains focused on offering a diverse array of entertainment that will draw a variety of people downtown. While the theater's return hasn't exactly sparked a renaissance by enticing would-be entrepreneurs to make a go of it downtown, he believes the Capitol is having a positive economic impact through parking revenue and increased patronage at restaurants throughout the city before and after shows.
"It is absolutely still our goal to create a critical mass by drawing people to the theater," said O'Brien. "It's certainly not the answer, but it's something we can be proud of and build around. ... A lot of things have to fall into place. The private sector has to step up, and we have to deliver on our goal of having people come to the shows."

I have an application where users can register themselves using Facebook credentials. Now consider for every user I get the permission for offline access.
I know that I can fetch the friends of mine using the Graph API.. For every user registered, I store the fbuid into my database.
Now I'm thinking that as I have my friends who have registered into my application and those users would have permitted my application for offline access. I thought of getting my friends in an array and just find friends of each and every friend in the array and join all of them.. Here the problem is I need to remove the Facebook users who are repeated (may be a friends in too many friend's list) and get a final list of friends of friends..
So can I get the friends of my friend using FQL or Graph API?
I searched/read lots of topics on Stack Overflow by searching for friends of friends, but of no use.
Note: This is not the similar questions already posted on Stack Overflow. Please read fully to understand this question.

There is, understandably, a lot of focus on women in the lead-up to childbirth, but it's important not to neglect the dads-to-be. Your partner may be getting anxious about the birth itself, fearing that he might not manage well with being in the delivery room or just concerned about how it will affect him to see you in pain. Some men feel guilty that they cannot take their share of the pain and help more during labor.
Aside from thinking about the birth, your partner may be anxious about the fact he'll be responsible for a newborn baby in just a few weeks! Talk to your partner if he appears anxious and involve him as much as possible-from helping you cope with pregnancy discomforts to preparing for the birth. If you've written a birth plan and Birth ideologies), go back over it now and discuss what might happen and how your partner could help on the day.
You could practice positions and breathing techniques for labor so that he feels more confident about helping you manage. If possible, he could go to your final prenatal appointments with you, where he can discuss any concerns he has with the doctor.
Have you done all your dad-to-be jobs? These include:
Although this can be a concern, it is more likely to be the case that rather than favor one child over the other, a parent gives more love and attention to the baby who needs it most at that time.
It is also possible that the strain of having two babies in the house may increase the likelihood of delayed bonding, although this can also happen if the birth has been traumatic; if the mother or indeed the father is exhausted; or if one baby has taken time to establish feeding, or is more fractious than the other. This does not mean that bonding will not take place over time.
In every family, there are bound to be ebbs and flows of love between parents and children. When a parent has two children born at different times, that parent may love one child differently than the other, but this does not mean that the love a parent has for one child is to the detriment of the other. If once your babies are born you still have concerns, speak to your doctor.

As Floodwaters Recede, Sandy's Death Toll Grows
NEW YORK—All that was left Wednesday of Glenda Moore's flight from Sandy's rising waters was a blue Ford Explorer, its windows broken to reveal two sand-caked children's car seats.
Hours earlier, at the height of the storm, Ms. Moore's two young sons, Connor, 4 years old, and Brendan, 2, were swept from her arms in the Staten Island borough of New York City after the big vehicle became trapped on a flooded road and she unbuckled them from the seats to head for dry land, she later told police.
On Thursday, search crews discovered the bodies of boys, police said. They were found about 15 to 20 yards away from each other, near where Ms. Moore lost her grip on her children.
The medical examiner's office will determine the cause of death, but police suspect drowning.
Latest Updates on Sandy
Get real-time updates on flooding, forecasts, closures and more as Sandy closes in on the U.S. East Coast. Go to the Live Stream. .
Until Wednesday, the majority of reported deaths were from storm-related car accidents and falling trees, including a couple from Mendham Township, N.J., who died Monday night when a tree crushed them when they got out of their vehicle. Their 11- and 14-year-old children remained inside and were uninjured. On Wednesday night, two sisters in Newark, ages 18 and 19, were found dead in their apartment from carbon monoxide poisoning, likely from deadly fumes from a generator in their home, according to city police.
Several of the newly identified bodies apparently fell victim to the storm's raging floodwaters that rushed into homes across the region.
New York police reported that a neighbor found the body of Hugh Senpo, 87, lying face down in a living room underwater in his Coney Island, Brooklyn, home on Tuesday afternoon. Later that day, near midnight, the body of Anna Gesso, 62, was found floating in the basement of a home on Staten Island.
In Newark, N.J., a 47-year-old man was found drowned inside his vehicle Tuesday afternoon as a result of Sandy, city officials said. An initial investigation by the Newark police found that the man had perished in his car the night before and was discovered Tuesday after high waters subsided.
New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg said that at least 30 of the total deaths occurred in the city, a number that authorities expected would climb as crews sift through the wreckage Sandy left behind.
A spokeswoman for the Medical Examiner of New York City said on Wednesday that autopsies were being done to determine the exact causes of death but she expected that the vast majority would be attributed to drowning.
In Staten Island on Wednesday, neighbors of the Moore family tried to make sense of what had become of the boys who they said liked to ride toy cars down the block. Their father, sanitation worker Damien Moore, had set up a swimming pool in the back yard over the summer, but the youngest boy didn't like water, said neighbor Ms. Malizia, 63 years old.
Ms. Malizia called the couple good parents and said they had lived in the home on Nash Court for about five years and were planning a move to Brooklyn, having recently listed the home with a local real estate company.
Police said the boys' mother was fleeing her home, two blocks outside an evacuated area, after losing power and taking on water Monday evening. Several neighbors said Wednesday the first floor of their homes didn't take on water though their basements did.
Ms. Moore, who neighbors said was a nurse, told police she had packed the boys into her Explorer and began driving to a relative's home in Brooklyn about 6 p.m. Monday.
She tried to drive through a flooded section of Father Capodanno Boulevard, about six miles from her home, but realized the water was too deep. She attempted to turn back and the vehicle stalled, she told authorities.
Ms. Moore told police she then grabbed her children, left the car and entered the water trying to make it to safety. But the water swelled around them, and she lost her grip on her children. Her sons were swept away, she told police.
Ms. Moore climbed over two fences and got to two homes whose residents, she said, refused to help her, according to police. Ms. Moore said she sat on a back porch until daylight when she was able to make it back to Hylan Boulevard where she flagged down the police car for assistance at approximately 7:30 a.m.
George Calbe, 62, lives a few houses down from where Ms. Moore reportedly knocked on doors looking for help. He said he was looking out his window when he saw a vehicle honking. "I heard the horn honking when the water started rising," he said. "It was right in the middle of the intersection. All of a sudden I saw the water lift it up and push it. It sucked it in like a vacuum cleaner."
Mr. Calbe then lost sight of it. The next morning he said he saw Ms. Moore exit a police vehicle and begin shouting at the corner house, "I asked you to help me."
On the other end of Staten Island, in an area that had been ordered to evacuate, a 13-year-old girl was another young victim. Firefighters found the body of Angela Dresch, dressed in her pajamas, beneath a pile of rubble more than a block away from her home in the Tottenville section late Monday.
An official said her home, which sat just half a block away from the Raritan Bay, was destroyed, apparently by a strong wave described to authorities by witnesses as a "mini Tsunami."
Her mother, Patricia Dresch, 46, was later found at Staten Island University Hospital unconscious and was listed in critical condition, the official said. Her father, George Dresch, a 55-year-old who owns a plumbing business in Brooklyn, was still missing as of Wednesday, the official said.

HTC Desire Android issues
At time of writing unfortunately the HTC Desire is one of my target devices...
research has brought me to the point that with v1 the 'htc sense' OS is problematic and i'm unlikely to be able to release the app unless the functionality is hugely scaled down.
i'm migrating my app / hacking in parts of it to v2 and finding the htc to be a lot smoother scroll and responsiveness wise (great work sencha)
replace the colored div's with images...
But i'm still finding when i'm scrolling a lot of images (from above eg 10 rows of 10 image - like an image gallery) that the Desire is 'freezing'.
In v1 this happens a lot and the app often only comes back after hitting the menu button (which seems to jump the browser back to live) and the app is completely unusable.
v2 is a lot better and when it does freeze it does recover but still leaves the device unresponsive for several seconds.
we're in a situation that we need to know if we can pursue the current technology knowing that once a stable release is out we can roll out to this device. Granted this is a reasonably old device but it's still pretty popular and will continue to be so for the coming months.
Hopefully by next year this will be less of an issue but guess you all know the importance of the now.
Wondered if anyone had any experiences of their own of performance on (or indeed cares about?) the desire...??
14 Oct 2011 7:32 AM #2
Ah, I hadn't read this thread yet when I replied to your other one.
Unfortunately I think the scroller is almost as optimized as possible on Android. It is just an element with overflow: hidden where we adjust the scrollTop! Putting a lot of large images in a list, or adding excessive styling like gradients/rounded corners on list items will slow the scroller down on the the much older Android devices. No matter what we do.
Jacky is our Android scroller performance master though, so before I say that there is nothing we can do I think we should give him a shot at trying to improve the performance somehow. I must admit that it won't probably be our highest priority for one of the next releases, though it is definitely something we will take a look at before the final GA.
14 Oct 2011 7:36 AM #3
many thanks tommy...
yeah - i appreciate it won't be high priority...
14 Oct 2011 9:30 PM #4
There's a critical bug in HTC devices that use HTC Sense UI that causes the browser's UI thread to be frozen. We've worked directly with HTC engineering team a few months ago and confirmed it's fully fixed in their future firmware releases.
In Touch 2 we've implemented a temporary workaround. As you already found out it's not perfect, and from all my experimentations, it simply can't be without having more power outside of what we can do within the browser itself. However apps are no longer permanently frozen. In the worst case scenario, the application automatically restore its timers after a certain period (a second or two).
Again this only happens in previous generation HTC devices (most popularly the Desire and Incredible).Sencha Touch Lead Architect
15 Oct 2011 3:06 AM #5
yeah i expected this to be the case - that it's beyond the browser.
the workaround is working A LOT better in what i've played with in S2.
as is often the case with tech when compared to latest gen phone these devices seem so far away even tho they are under 2 years old!
we're considering dropping these older devices, or rather providing a separate code base / different experience rather than sacrifice too much on newer devices.
i'm old enough to actually remember supporting a small handful of 'main stream' browsers but with this new trend towards mobile html5 / js frameworks it's fast becoming an absolute nightmare testing and support wise.

Report: Fire department consolidation would save 5 communities millions
a report by the Public Policy Forum says.Five southern Milwaukee County communities could save millions of dollars over the next five years if they consolidated their fire departments,
Franklin, Greendale, Greenfield, Hales Corners and Oak Creek could save $1 million annually in operating costs and about $4 million over the next five years in vehicle replacement costs if they formed one fire department, the report released Wednesday states.
The communities could save money if they stopped short of consolidation and shared some services, but the saving would not be as great, said Rob Henken, forum president.
For example, if the communities retained all five fire departments but operated under an "automatic aid agreement" in which the closest unit responds to a fire or EMS call regardless of municipal boundary, the municipalities potentially could save $3.35 million on vehicle replacement costs over five years. The report refers to this set up as an "operational consolidation."
"Essentially, all calls would be treated as if it was a consolidated department, but still you would have five independent departments that would maintain their own personnel, their own personnel policies, their own equipment," Henken said.» Read Full Article

Oak Creek hotel site faces foreclosure suit
An Oak Creek site where a Chicago-area developer proposed a Sheraton Four Points hotel is the target of a foreclosure suit.
The suit claims Trapani Family Properties LLC and Synerg Oak Creek LLC owe $3.96 million from three defaulted loans. It was filed in Milwaukee County Circuit Court by Morton Community Bank, of Morton, Ill.
Developer Greg Trapani said the suit is being dismissed, although neither a response to the foreclosure claim nor a dismissal notice had been filed as of Tuesday morning. Trapani is director of project development at Trapani Construction Co., of Arlington Heights, Ill.
Trapani a year ago proposed the 107-room Sheraton Four Points for a 27-acre site at the southeast corner of S. Howell and E. College avenues.
That proposal was approved by the Common Council, but construction hasn't started.» Read Full Article

Shoplifter left red-faced after intimate item revealed
A 23-year-old Milwaukee man who was shopping with his girlfriend was arrested for retail theft after trying to steal a box of a male enhancement product in St. Francis last week.
According to the police report:
The man shoplifted a box of maximum strength climax control male genital desensitizer gel from Pick 'n Save, 4698 S. Whitnall Ave., about 6:35 p.m. May 10.
The man tried to conceal the theft from his girlfriend.

St. Francis plans Layton Ave. TIF district
St. Francis officials are considering a proposed tax incremental financing district that would help pay for retail space improvements along Layton Ave., and expansions at a business park north of that street.
The proposed 196-acre tax district would be north of E. Layton Ave. between S. Nicholson and S. Brust avenues, and also would include some former We Energies transmission lines right-of-way .
The plan calls for spending up to $7.5 million over 25 years, with an initial amount of $1 million to $2 million, said Tim Rhode, city administrator. That money would be repaid through property taxes from improvements within the district. Once that debt is repaid, the property taxes would then flow to the city, its school district and other local governments.
Some of the funds would help pay for facade improvements at Layton Ave. retail buildings, including the Layton Mart shopping center at Layton and Nicholson avenues that is anchored by Value Village, Rhode said.
Also, some smaller Layton Ave. residential rental properties could be purchased by the city and demolished, with the land redeveloped for commercial use, he said. City officials would not use eminent domain to force any land sales, Rhode said.» Read Full Article

Oak Creek man charged with pushing porn on son

Oak Creek man to pay $20,000 to settle action over bogus charity
An Oak Creek man has agreed to pay $20,000 for conducting what state officials say was naked scam to solicit donations via candy donation cannisters designed to suggest the money would help groups find missing children.
Michael Todd Messmer denies the allegations, but signed a consent judgment that calls for him to make the payment, the state Departmen of Justice announced Wednesday. According to the agreement, the $20,000 covers fines, fees and surcharges. Messmer does not admit to any liability in the consent judgment.
The same enforcment action, filed in 2010 in Waukesha County, also names Marilyn L. Broerman, of North Carolina, as a defendant. She signed a similar consent judgment in December, and will also pay $20,000. According to the state, Broerman developed the scheme, and sold hundreds of the canisters to Messmer.
Messmer wound up placing more than 700 cannisters (see sample above. Photo courtesy of Department of Justice) at small businesses around southeast Wisconsin. They suggested a donation of $1 for five small pieces of candy. The complaint said he paid more than $30,000 for canisters, candy and other costs of the operation, in response to a newspaper ad that suggested he could earn $3,000 a week. It did not allege how much profit, if any, Messmer cleared.» Read Full Article
Meijer proposes large supermarket, discount store in Franklin
Meijer, a Michigan-based chain of combined supermarket-discount stores, hopes to enter southeastern Wisconsin with a large operation in Franklin, if the company can obtain city zoning approval.
Meijer is proposing a 192,000-square-foot store for 29 acres northeast of Highway 100, between Loomis and Puetz roads. The company hopes to have the store open by 2014.
The proposal got an initial conceptual review Monday night from the Common Council. Aldermen raised concerns about the store's preliminary design; its traffic impact on homes on Puetz Road, and its proposed 24-hour operation.
But Mayor Tom Taylor and council members also said the city needs the jobs -- roughly 200 to 250 -- and property tax revenue that the store would create.
"This is a plus to the community," said Ald. Ken Skowronski. "It's a needed asset."» Read Full Article

A equine therapeutic riding center called RJ Ranch will be open in Jacobsburg.
The facility is owned and operated by Julie Larish, an Ohio Valley native who long ago moved to Grangeville, Idaho.

RJ?RANCH, an equine therapeutic riding facility, will be opening around sometime around March 2014 in Jacobsburg. The facility will be open to young and old alike who are ready for the medicinal and therapeutic benefits riding horses offers. Pictured are riders who utilized RJ?Ranch's services when it was located in Idaho.

Grangeville is where Larish first opened the facility, but when she moved back to the Buckeye State, she transferred the facility's 501 (C) 2 status with her.
The center is designed primarily as a therapeutic riding center for physically, emotionally and mentally challenged individuals.
"Our mission is to improve the mind, body and souls of children and adults with disabilities through equine-assisted therapy and to be an inspiration and education resource to the therapeutic riding profession locally, regionally and nationally.
"We will work to increase awareness of disabilities in the community."
Larish admitted one of the benefits of equine therapeutic riding is that the horse's gait is similar to that of a human.
"It has the natural gait of a person walking and people with muscle tone issues, their trunk gets a workout," Larish said. "But it's also important because it has a calming effect. It's a stress reducer that helps put a child or adult at ease."
Part of Larish's 5-year-plan is to employ a mental health profession, or a licensed occupation or physical therapist on staff. By doing so, Medicaid will actually cover some of the therapy sessions RJ Ranch will offer.
Starting out, donations will work to cover some of the kids' riding sessions for those who are unable to afford it.
Larish is also working at filling out grant applications that will help to offset the costs.
RJ Ranch is North American Riding Handicapped Association certified and will soon be PATH International certified.
The facility is fully handicapped accessible. Down the road, however, Larish hopes to erect an indoor riding facility at the ranch because she feels the therapy sessions, especially for children, are most effective when conducted year-round.
Currently, RJ Ranch has 10 therapy horses in the field. An 11th horse is on the ranch, but that belongs to Larish's daughter, who is one of her top assistants. She admits that while her daughter is great with the kids, her horse is not and is thus not used as part of the program.
Larish's first year in Idaho, she worked with 38 students in a town with a population of 3,500. She's worked with patients that have autism, cystic fibrosis, cerebral palsy, down syndrome, developmental disabilities and behavior disorders.
The riding sessions are also highly beneficial for children suffering from mental and physical abuse. Her youngest rider has been 4-years-old. The oldest was a 98-year-old man who wanted one last ride.
During the sessions, the horse has a leader walking in front, along with two side walkers to insure safety of the rider.
The facility employs five people and also utilizes the service of volunteers to serve as side walkers.
Larish's services don't begin and end at the ranch's gates, however. For example, in the past she's gone to IEP meetings for children, talked about her services and also offered suggestions of how to assist in the child's progression.
In the coming months, Larish will be hosting a community evening to discuss the center, its medical benefits and to give a demonstration. It will be open to medical personnel and community members.
For more information, call (740) 686-2989 or (208) 484-6227. It is located at 49586 Jacobsburg Key Rd.

(Marcio Jose Sanchez/AP)When Oregon's Kenjon Barner rushed for 321 yards and five touchdowns on Saturday night, it was safe to assume that would be the best running back performance of the football weekend.Tampa Bay's Doug Martin at least threw himself into the discussion Sunday.Martin, playing near his hometown of Stockton, Califl, rumbled for 220 yards and four touchdowns on 17 carries ... in the second half of his team's 42-32 road victory over the Oakland Raiders. Up until halftime, Martin and the Tampa Bay offense was sluggish at best -- he had eight carries for 31 yards during the first two quarters, and the Bucs took a 10-7 halftime deficit into the locker room.There was no stopping either Martin or the Buccaneers from then on, however.And each of Martin's first three touchdown runs was more sensational than the next. He opened the fireworks with a 45-yarder up the middle, in which he broke a tackle at the line, bounced outside and schooled both of Oakland's safeties. Later, he took one to the house from 67 yards and then from 70. A 1-yard TD plunge late put the game away -- and looked entirely humdrum by comparison.Martin's four-TD performance more than doubled his rookie season touchdown total (he had three before Sunday), but it also marked the third consecutive game he's crossed the goal line.Even on a day when running backs league-wide enjoyed an abundance of success, Martin's breakthrough showing stood out as special. ([si_launchNFLPopup video='c16b081cc1dc44ad9d37f9a178a707fe']Check out the best of Doug Martin's breakthrough day.[/si_launchNFLPopup])Here are more of Week 9's best and worst performers:• First Down: Isaac Redman and Emmanuel Sanders.The Steelers headed into an emotionally-charged Meadowlands Sunday minus RBs Rashard Mendenhall and Jonathan Dwyer, then lost WR Antonio Brown and KR Chris Rainey to injuries. And they didn't miss a step.Redman turned in a man-sized performance in the backfield, rushing for 147 yards and a touchdown, often making something out of nothing against the Giants' front. His teammate, Sanders, caught a TD in the first quarter and later delivered a huge punt return that helped flip field position.Don't look now, but Pittsburgh's 5-3 with a game against Kansas City forthcoming.• Fourth Down: Washington's 2012 season.Washington fell to 3-6 with a demoralizing home loss to Carolina on Sunday, and afterward, head coach Mike Shanahan turned the calendar over to 2013."Now you're playing to see who obviously is going to be on your football team for years to come," Shanahan said. "Now we get a chance to evaluate players and see where we're at."He added that "we're not out of it statistically," but realistically the playoffs will have to wait at least a year. Still, it's surprising to hear a coach admit as much with seven games left on the schedule.• First Down: Eric Decker.Sunday will wind up far from Peyton Manning's greatest hits list. But he still managed to throw three touchdown passes in a 31-23 win over Cincinnati, with two of them ending up in Decker's hands.The first put Denver ahead 10-3 in the second quarter -- Decker caught one cutting across the middle, turned upfield at the sideline and stiff-armed Nate Clements to get into the end zone. Manning and Decker then connected to more or less put Cincinnati away late in the fourth, as Decker went up and over Terence Newman for six.Manning looked Decker's direction on 11 of his 35 passes Sunday, three more shots than Demaryius Thomas received. Decker, clearly, has earned his QB's trust.• Fourth Down: Brandon Weeden.The Browns had posted a 2-1 record over their previous three games and they, along with their rookie QB, appeared to take some very serious steps in a positive direction. Sunday marked a bump in the road, especially for Weeden.He tossed a pair of interceptions and never really seemed to settle in. The Browns also settled for field goals on five possessions, something that came back to haunt them in a 25-15 loss to Baltimore. Weeden's lone touchdown pass, a connection over the middle with Josh Gordon, was wiped out by an illegal formation penalty.• First Down: The Indianapolis Colts' organization.For starters, if you haven't watched Chuck Pagano's speech to his team after the Colts' 23-20 win, [si_launchNFLPopup video='f8a7a94cb3184e958e145a82ba7b507e']go do it[/si_launchNFLPopup]. Pagano, away from the team since Sept. 26 while battling cancer, delivered one of the season's most poignant moments as his supportive players circled around him.What a day for the Colts. Not only was Pagano in attendance, but also Andrew Luck set the single-game rookie passing record with 433 yards and Indianapolis pulled off a critical win over Miami. Suddenly, Indianapolis is 5-3 and a legitimate playoff contender in the AFC.When you talk about franchises that operate the right way, the Colts have to be right up there at the top of the list. They committed to rebuilding around Luck this offseason, letting Peyton Manning go in the process. It's already paying off, and even better days should lie ahead.• Fourth Down: Tennessee's ball security.The Bears' defense has made life miserable for more than one opponent this season, and Sunday was just another example.But Tennessee should be embarrassed by what happened, especially since it came on home turf. The Titans put the ball on the deck six times (Chicago recovered four), Matt Hasselbeck threw an interception and the Bears blocked a punt for a touchdown. It's no wonder Chicago waltzed away with a 51-20 victory -- and the Titans are lucky it wasn't even worse [si_launchNFLPopup video='6eba951ec57042feb5eb3fa0118ab437'](see all six Bears touchdowns)[/si_launchNFLPopup].• First Down: The Lions' ground game.Yes, really.Sure, Matthew Stafford put up 285 yards and Calvin Johnson had 129, but the Lions mashed Jacksonville up front to the tune of 149 yards and four touchdowns. The star? Mikel Leshoure, who became the first player in Lions history with [si_launchNFLPopup video='3208eea60e16403fadeb25deba7b64f7']three rushing touchdowns[/si_launchNFLPopup] in the first half. Joique Bell chipped in 73 yards and a TD of his own -- and he saw a lot of snaps late as Detroit ground down the clock.• Fourth Down: Buffalo's play calling.Bills coach Chan Gailey said a couple weeks back that he wanted Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller to combine for "between 30 and 40" touches per game. They only got to 22 on Sunday, despite Buffalo staying in its game against Houston.Two issues: 1. The Texans' defense is terrific against the run (Buffalo rushed for just 78 yards); and 2. Spiller had way more success Sunday -- 6.5 yards per carry and 12.6 yards per catch compared to 3.5 and 2.8, respectively, for Jackson.The Bills might not have mustered enough offense regardless to pull the upset Sunday, but they did themselves no favors by forcing a Spiller/Jackson split or by bailing on their run game early.• First Down: Aaron Rodgers.Rodgers' completion percentage was ugly: 46.7 on 14-of-30 passing. He made those 14 connections count, though.Rodgers threw four TDs -- two to Randall Cobb, one to James Jones and [si_launchNFLPopup video='98c0e55817594ebbb21ab743de5f9275']a 72-yarder to Tom Crabtree[/si_launchNFLPopup] that put Arizona away late. Rodgers also scrambled for 33 yards on eight rushes, simply surviving and getting the job done without Greg Jennings, Jordy Nelson or right tackle Bryan Bulaga.• Fourth Down: Minnesota's defense.The Vikings were one of the league's best early-season stories as they raced out to a 5-2 record. But they have now lost two straight, and three of four, counting Sunday's 30-20 setback in Seattle, and allowed 30-plus points in all of those defeats. Minnesota had absolutely no answers for the Seahawks, either on the ground or through the air -- Marshawn Lynch churned out 124 yards and a touchdown, while Russell Wilson tossed three TD passes. The porous defensive effort ruined a marvelous Adrian Peterson effort, too. Peterson had 182 yards and two touchdowns on just 17 carries, nearly 11 yards per carry. More Audibles

Imagine being killed by a bow and arrow. That would suck, an arrow killed you? They would never solve the crime. "Look at that dead guy. Let's go that way." — Mitch Hedberg
I seem to be one of the few people who absolutely adores arrows. I thought it might be helpful if I provided some insight to the advanced-level newbies regarding the practical use of arrows in Haskell. Plenty has already been written about what arrows are in category theory, how to implement the Arrow typeclass, and how to use the special arrow syntax. I want to talk about why I occasionally wake up in the morning thinking, "Maybe I could solve this problem using arrows!"
This article is just to share an extremely simple, intuitive and concrete example of an arrow. I'm not going to get into all the crazy amazing things arrows can do. I just want to show that they can do at least one cool useful thing.
Arrows are closely related to monads. For example, both arrows and monads can be used to capture side-effecting operations.
Monads have the kind
* -> *, indicating a side-effecting operation with a single output type, and a binding operation
m a -> (a -> m b) -> m b. The input to a monadic operation is provided via a pure function. Arrows, on the other hand, have a kind
* -> * -> *, indicating a side-effecting operation with a single input type and a single output type, and a binding operation
a b c -> a c d -> a b d.
When binding monads, it's obvious from the type signature that the subsequent side-effecting operation does not even exist until after the output of the previous operation becomes available. It cannot, because it depends on the previous output and because we can inject any pure function to construct the subsequent operation based on completely arbitrary criteria.
When binding arrows, the subsequent side-effecting operation exists before execution begins.
All monads are arrows, but not all arrows are monads, and this observation is pertinent to their implementation in Haskell, but I'm going to restrict this article's discussion to "interesting arrows," specifically, arrows that aren't monads because they don't implement
ArrowApply. Interesting arrows are basically monads without flow control: you can't generally choose what side-effecting actions to perform based on things you learn during the execution of the arrow.
This is why arrow-notation creates two scopes. Between the
<- -< symbols, only values that were in scope before execution of the Arrow are in scope. Outside the
<- -<, values that appear during the execution of the Arrow are also in scope.
For example, we (you and I) might have a monad that allows us to perform certain dangerous operations, like overwriting files. In a monadic context, we can not anticipate what any particular instance of the monad will choose to do. We might write a very complicated installation script that accesses many files. Do we have permission to write to all of those files? Do the files we want to read even exist? Do we access an infinite number of files?
Do we ever write to
We would like to know the answers to these questions before running the installation script, otherwise we could be interrupted and leave the system in a chaotic state. Even if we could recover from an error, we would still be wasting the user's time, which is the opposite of the thing that computers are for.
But if we implemented our IO environment using an arrow, we could anticipate all of the side-effecting operations, even have a list of files to be overwritten before the operation begins.
In our new file IO arrow, it will be impossible to read the name of a file from a file, and then write to that file dynamically, because all file names must be specified at the time the arrow is bound. That's a pretty onerous restriction, but we can always add new operations later, if we need them.
Our arrow needs a list of accessed files and an IO action. The list of file paths is going to take the form of a monoid, while the sequence of IO actions will take the form of a Kleisli arrow.
data IORWA a b = IORWA [FilePath] (a -> IO b)
We need a category instance.
instance Category IORWA where
id is easy.
Id accesses no files, so we give an empty file list.
Return is the simplest monadic action that type checks.
id = IORWA [] return
The bind operation requires that we concatenate two lists of file paths, and bind the IO actions. (This is a little annoying, but note that the
(.) operator specifies the preceding action second and the subsequent action first.)
(IORWA sa actionA) . (IORWA sb actionB) = IORWA (sa ++ sb) (\x -> actionB x >>= actionA)
At this point, we only have a category, which has only slightly more sophistication than a monoid. To get our tricky arrow syntax, we need to implement
arr and
instance Arrow IORWA where
Arr, like
id, doesn't touch any files, so we provide an empty file list and inject the function into the arrow.
arr f = IORWA [] $ return . f
First is a little tricky. We're accepting a side-effecting operation as a parameter, so we need to preserve that operation's file list.
first (IORWA s action) = IORWA s $ \(x,k) -> do { x' <- action x; return (x',k) }
And we need read/write operations, in which we simply pack the file path parameter into the file list. Notice that we take the file path as a static parameter, but we take the data to write as an input to the arrow.
writeFileA :: FilePath -> IORWA String ()
writeFileA path = IORWA [path] $ \s -> writeFile path s
readFileA :: FilePath -> IORWA () String
readFileA path = IORWA [path] $ \_ -> readFile path
Using our arrow is as simple as exporting a function to the accessed file list and the IO action, as long as we refuse to export any way to corrupt the synchronization between the two fields.
Looking at Control.Arrow and the arrows library on hackage, there are a few things we could add to all this:
- We could implement
ArrowChoice. This would allow us to choose at runtime between accessing two different sets of files. Both possibilities would appear in our static accessible file list, but only one would actually be accessed.
- We could use a modified
ReaderArrowto capture rewriting rules for file paths, e.g., to specify a current working directory. We can't use
ReaderArrowdirectly, because it would route information through the monadic component of the computation.
- We could use a
WriterArrowto retain a log of all of the data we actually write.
- We could use an
ErrorArrowto recover from file system errors.
- We could implement
ArrowLoopbased on the
MonadFixinstance of IO.
- We could use the
Automatonarrow to implement multi-phase read/write cycles. Perhaps the first phase would be read-only, then we could check the file list again before proceeding to the second phase.
- We could re-implement what we just wrote in terms of the
and get a metric ton of the above for free.
To play with this example, you could always
git clone http://www.downstairspeople.org/git/IORWA.git.

My wife and I decided to have cheesecakes for our wedding last weekend. We'd like to store some for at least our one-year anniversary. What is the proper way to store it, and how long can we expect it to last and still be worth eating? Once she gets completely moved in, we'll have a deep freeze, but we currently just have a couple of refrigerator freezers, though one is rarely opened.
Still tasty gives you 2-3 months on cheesecake in the freezer. It will be safe indefinitely at freezing temp, but the texture will change somewhat. As @ElendilTheTall says, foil and plastic wrap are your best bets. Additionally, I might try freezing it for a day to get solid, and then sticking it in a vacuum sealed bag. If your seals aren't airtight on something else, then cheesecake will pick up any funky odors in your freezers.
Congrats btw, and I'm gonna let you in on a secret about the eating the wedding cake at 1 year - it all tastes worse and some tastes really bad. Normal or cheesecake or whatever, the cake is pretty much always bad by then, but luckily it's not about the cake taste. It's about reliving the memories and laughing over bad cake. So don't worry too much about if the cake is not that tasty then - take a bite,remember the wedding, and have a good chuckle.
The cheesecake kept for 1 year just fine with no discernible off flavors or other problems.
I'm a homebrewer and we wound up putting the cheesecake into the freezer section of our spare 'beer fridge'. That freezer is pretty much only used for overflow freezer space, and the refrigerator section is used for beer bottles and kegs, and we have had a few apples in the crispers for most of the year, but that's it. The freezer section was rarely opened more than once per week.
The cheesecake had no off flavors, and only had light water crystallisation on the surface, which was not at all detrimental to our enjoyment of the cake.
This was a plain 'real' cooked cheesecake with graham cracker crust.
So, for a 'good enough' storage method, wrap loosely in foil and store in a freezer that is rarely used, and the cheesecake should be excellent for at least one year.
You can freeze it, wrapped tightly in plastic wrap and foil, but I doubt it will last a year - a couple of months at most. Try it anyway!
I made a lemon/lime cheesecake Dec.2013 and we ate it July 2014. I put the cake on a china plate in a cake box, sealed the box with tape and a big elastic band. When I decided to serve this cake, I removed from the freezer 2 days before and let it sit on the counter for 3 hours. I then put it in my fridge for a day and a half. Lastly I put 1/2 can of cheery pie filling on top. I had the best reviews for the most flavourable cheesecake. I can only say the cake mellowed. It did not shrink, did not have a bad taste and nobody guessed it was 7 mths in my freezer. So, I say, as long as you seal the cake properly, and it is in your deep freezer, you will not have a problem. Worked for me. Good Luck!

Refining companies are likely to keep run rates high, until maintenance season in March, to take advantage of the better margins, and this will support export volumes. Margins are now supported by strong demand for middle distillates, especially kerosene, due to winter demand in North Asia.
By ERIC YEP
South Korean refining margins have started the year on a
strong note and are likely to remain robust through March,
supported by seasonal plant closures for maintenance.
Refining companies are likely to keep run rates high, until
maintenance season in March, to take
advantage of the better margins. This, in turn, will support
export volumes.
Oil products were South Korea's largest export item last
year, with shipments totalling $56.2 billion, preliminary
government data showed. The country is the world's
sixth-largest refiner.
South Korean refining margins are now supported by strong
demand for middle distillates, especially kerosene, due to
winter demand in North Asia.
South Korea has already tied up more than two million
barrels of kerosene exports to Japan for February.
However, Japanese buyers are careful about paying high
premiums to import kerosene from South Korea because if the
weather gets warmer, cargoes for delivery in the second half of
February will go to waste, a Japanese trader said.
"We believe refining margins bottomed in
December 2012 and will improve through the summer," analyst
Yeon-ju Park of Daewoo Securities said in a note.
Asian refining margins are forecast to
rise after refinery units go into seasonal maintenance in the spring and due to
stronger fuel demand as economies make a comeback. Analysts
also expect global refining capacity to remain constrained
until new capacity begins coming onstream in the second half of
the year, helping to underpin margins.
"Growth in electricity consumption in China, which normally
moves in tandem with growth in diesel demand, soared in
December 2012," Mr. Park said.
South Korea's refiners -- SK Energy, Hyundai Oilbank Corp.,
GS Caltex and S-Oil Corp. -- are expected to maintain full
utilization levels until maintenance kicks in.
SK Energy, South Korea's largest refiner by volume, is
running its main Ulsan refinery at around 900,000 bpd for
February, but March utilization will be lower due to maintenance, a Seoul-based trader
The four South Korean refiners will process around 2.7
million bpd of crude in February, according to a Dow Jones
Newswires survey. They processed around 2.65 million bpd of oil
in December, roughly flat compared with 2.60 million bbl a year
earlier, data from Korea National Oil Corp. showed.
Korea Investment & Securities said there were big swings
in last year's refining margins due to crude oil
price volatility, and margins should stabilize this year as
operating costs are unlikely to be as volatile.
"Also, the manufacture of high-margin products using less
profitable products, such as heavy oil and naphtha, should also
enhance earnings quality," Korea Investment & Securities
said, adding that refinery upgrades and the expanding
petrochemical business will add to

I'm a newbie to this so bear with me please. I want to use my new NN5 to shoot mostly multi row and column hi res panoramas. I'm wondering if someone could offer some suggestions as to what the most common used focal length used is. I have a nikon 18-200 vr zoom but would prefer to buy a prime lens for this use due to zoom creep. I want to go with a standard or short tele for background detail and have been leaning towards the Tokins ATX 100mm pro macro and would like some feedback on this from a seasoned pano shooter. I shoot a Nikon D300 and also have a 50mm f1.8 prime as well as the 12-24mm f4, also have the 80-400 vr zoom but think that's to large. Any ideas would be welcome as I leave for Iguazu Falls in 1 month.
