From HaskellWiki
Netwire is a library for functional reactive programming, which uses the concept of arrows for modelling an embedded domain-specific language. This language lets you express reactive systems, which means systems that change over time. It shares the basic concept with Yampa and its fork Animas, but it is itself not a fork and has many additional features.
This wiki page corresponds to Netwire version 3 and is currently a work in progress.
1 Features
Here is a list of some of the features of Netwire:
- arrow interface (or optionally an applicative interface),
- signal inhibition (ArrowZero / Alternative),
- signal selection (ArrowPlus / Alternative),
- self-adjusting wires (ArrowChoice),
- rich set of event wires,
- signal analysis wires (average, peak, etc.),
- effectful wires.
2 BasicsThe Netwire library is based around a data type called
import Control.Wire data Wire e (>~) a b
comp :: Wire e (>~) a b
a >~ Either e b
2.1 The inhibition monoidThe
2.2 Base arrowsThe
type MyWire = Wire () (Kleisli IO)
3 Running wiresFor running a wire you can use the stepping functions available in the
stepWireM :: Monad m => Wire e (Kleisli m) a b -> a -> m (Either e b, Wire e (Kleisli m) a b)
stepWireM :: MyWire a b -> a -> IO (Either () b, MyWire a b)
system :: MyWire Int String system = {- ... -} main :: IO () main = loop system where loop :: MyWire Int String -> IO () loop w' = do (mx, w) <- stepWireM w' 15 {- ... do something with mx ... -} loop w -- loop with the new wire.
Note: Even though the FRP idea suggests it, there is no reason to run wires continuously or even regularly. You can totally have an instant depending on user input, a GUI event or network traffic, so instants can be minutes apart.
3.1 Testing wiresThere is a convenient function for testing wires, which does all the plumbing for you. It's called
testWireM :: (Show e, MonadIO m) => Int -> m a -> Wire e (Kleisli m) a String -> m ()
main :: IO () main = testWireM 1000 (return 15) system
4 Predefined wires
There are numerous predefined wires, which you can compose using the arrow interface. We will practice that with three very simple predefined wires (the type signatures are simplified for the sake of learning):
constant :: b -> Wire e (>~) a b identity :: Wire e (>~) b b countFrom :: Enum b => b -> Wire e (>~) a b
stepWireM (constant 15) inp -> (Right 15, constant 15)
stepWireM identity inp -> (Right inp, identity)
Both identity and constant wires are examples of stateless wires. They don't change over time. You can see this in the stepping examples above. They always return themselves for the next instant.
The countFrom function takes a starting value and returns a wire that returns sequential values instant by instant. This is the first example of a stateful wire, because it changes over time:
stepWireM (countFrom 15) inp -> (Right 15, countFrom 16) stepWireM (countFrom 16) inp -> (Right 16, countFrom 17)
4.1 Composing wires
The main feature of wires is that you can compose them using the arrow interface. There is a rich set of ways for composing, and you will want to use arrow notation for your convenience:
system :: MyWire a String system = proc _ -> do c1 <- countFrom 10 -< () c2 <- countFrom 20 -< () identity -< printf "%d %d" (c1 :: Int) (c2 :: Int)
In applications it is common to write wires that ignore their input. For those wires you should make the input type fully polymorphic to indicate this. Running this wire produces:
stepWireM system () 1st instant: Right "10 20" 2nd instant: Right "11 21" 3rd instant: Right "12 22"
Note: You can use the testWireM function with this wire. The following action will run the wire continuously printing its result at every 1000th instant:
main :: IO () main = testWireM 1000 (return ()) system
4.2 ChoiceIn traditional AFRP solutions like Yampa the path of a signal is fully determined by the structure of the signal network. In Netwire a signal can choose one of multiple paths by using the
system = proc _ -> do c1 <- countFrom 10 -< () if even c1 then returnA -< "We don't want even c1" else do c2 <- countFrom 20 -< () returnA -< printf "%d %d" (c1 :: Int) (c2 :: Int)

Anyone who knew Larry Van Nostran for any amount of time, knew he loved golf and he loved Lakewood.
The nine-time Lakewood mayor and present city councilman died at his home Friday with his wife Charlene by his side. He was 79.
Van Nostran, who suffered from a progressive lung disorder, had been released from the hospital only a week before his death, after doctors diagnosed his condition as incurable, said Bill Grady, Lakewood's public information officer.
"It is with a sense of deep personal loss and the recognition that a uniquely dedicated public servant has been taken from us too soon," said Mayor Diane DuBois. "We mourn the death of long-time Lakewood City Council Member Larry Van Nostran."
Van Nostran's love for golf and his city was only temporarily affected, when on Dec. 29, 2010, surgeons had to amputate his foot. He was home by New Year's Eve that year, attended church services on Jan. 2, and was back to golfing with a prosthesis by April. "We decided we were going to give it a try," he said in a Press-Telegram interview in December 2011. "The worst part was I wasn't sure if I could even put the tee in the ground without falling on my nose. But, I stuck it in the ground and there it sat as pretty as could be."
Van Nostran was born in Seville, Ohio in 1933 and moved to Lakewood in 1958, only four years after the city was incorporated. He was active in Lakewood civic life for over 50 years, including membership in the Elks Club, Jaycees, Kiwanis Club, Lakewood Pan American Association, and Masonic Lodge & Scottish Rite.
According to Van Nostran, after his amputation, his love for Lakewood was a huge motivating factor in his speedy recovery.
"I got so involved in seeing to all the necessities of the city that I couldn't leave council," he said.
His career as a Lakewood City council member spanned five decades, during which time the city overcame the challenges of political turmoil in the 1970s, responded to enormous social and economic changes in the 1980s and 1990s, thus succeeding in becoming one of the most politically and fiscally stable communities in Los Angeles County, said Grady.
Van Nostran began his service in Lakewood in 1971 as a member of the Traffic and Safety Commission. As a council member he was a longtime member of the Public Safety Committee and believed nothing was more important than keeping a community safe. That belief made a instrumental part of helping to create and maintain Lakewood's low crime rate and high quality of life in the city's neighborhoods, Grady said.
He was a strong supporter of the Lakewood Award of Valor event, where each year, public safety personnel, volunteers and residents are honored for dedication, hard work and courage.
"I've known Larry throughout my entire career in Lakewood," said Lakewood City Manager Howard Chambers, who has served as city manager since 1976. "For me, he was a mentor, an advocate and a friend. For Lakewood, he was a pillar of strength. In Larry, I saw a man who always fought the good fight, who never wavered in his convictions, and who lived and breathed the genuine spirit of his city each day."
Van Nostran, who was first elected to the council in 1975, was the longest-serving council member in Lakewood's history with 37 years. He served as mayor nine times and was currently serving his tenth term on the council.
"In each of his nine terms as mayor, Larry stood as a fierce defender of the community's values and served as a leader of the city council in guiding Lakewood with wisdom and determination," said DuBois. "I know that Larry's greatest aspiration - and one he achieved - was to keep Lakewood safe, ensure its continuing prosperity and preserve its neighborhood quality of life. We will always remember Council Member Larry Van Nostran - indomitable, loyal, true, and brave. A great leader of Lakewood has been struck down, but his enduring legacy will live on."
Among his achievements was the founding of the Lakewood Youth Sports Hall of Fame in 1981. The Hall of Fame has honored thousands of Lakewood youth over the three decades and has helped promote a vigorous sports and recreational culture in the city. It was nationally recognized by Sports Illustrated magazine when Lakewood was named Sportstown USA in 2004.
Van Nostran had served continuously since 1990 as the President of the Executive Committee of the California Joint Powers Insurance Authority, the largest municipal self-insurance agency in the state.
He was instrumental in the development and expansion of senior services in Lakewood helping to create Lakewood's DASH, the senior transit system and developing the exercise and fitness programs at the city's two senior centers. He also played a big role, of modernizing the Lakewood Center mall and maintaining the business and commercial base of the city over the decades.
Van Nostran is survived by his wife, sons Dennis and David, five grandchildren and ten great-grandchildren.
Memorial service details are pending and will be made public later at www.lakewoodcity.org.
In lieu of flowers, the family has asked that donations be made to the Friends of the Lakewood Sheriff's Station, 5130 Clark Ave., Lakewood, CA 90712 or to Christ Presbyterian Church of Lakewood, 5225 Hayter Ave., Lakewood, CA 90712.

Effective Date: March 2, 1999
System number: 60-0268
System name:
Medicare Part B Buy-In Information System, SSA/OPB
Security classification:
System location:
Social Security Administration
Office of Research
Evaluation and Statistics
ITC Building, 9th Floor
500 E. Street, SW
Washington, D.C. 20254
Categories of individuals covered by the system:
All persons screened in the Medicare Part B buy-in demonstration program for potential eligibility for Medicare buy-in programs. This includes Social Security beneficiaries who have attained age 65, disabled Social Security beneficiaries who have received 24 consecutive months of Social Security benefits, and certain individuals who suffer from end stage renal disease.
Categories of records in the system:
The system contains information supplied by a beneficiary during a screening interview conducted by SSA staff to determine potential eligibility for Medicare Part B buy-in programs. This information may include the individual's name, Social Security number (SSN), date of birth, address, marital status and such other information as may be supplied by the beneficiary regarding income, resources and living arrangements. Information may also be obtained from the Master Beneficiary Record and from the Supplemental Security Income Record, as needed. The beneficiary will also be surveyed as to how he or she learned about the Medicare Part B buy-in programs.
Authority for maintenance of the system:
Title IV of Division A, Social Security Administration, of the Omnibus Consolidated and Emergency Supplemental Appropriations Act, 1999, Public Law (P.L.) 105-277.
All information on the system will be maintained under the beneficiary's Social Security number. The system will be designed to determine a beneficiary's potential eligibility for Medicare Part B buy-in and gather information to be used in evaluating the effectiveness of the methodologies tested under the demonstration authority in P.L. 105-277 to increase Medicare buy-in applications and enrollments.
Routine uses of records maintained in the system, including categories of users and the purposes of such uses:
Disclosure may be made for routine uses as indicated below:
1. Disclosure to third parties in situations where the party to be contacted has, or is expected to have, information relating to the individual's eligibility for, or entitlement to, benefits under a Social Security program when the data are needed to establish the validity of evidence or to verify the accuracy of information presented by the individual, and it concerns one or more of the following:
(a) his or her eligibility for benefits under a Social Security program;
(b) the amount of his or her benefit payment;
(c) any case in which the evidence is being reviewed as a result of suspected fraud, concern for program integrity, quality appraisal, or evaluation and measurement activities.
2. Disclosure to the Office of the President for the purpose of responding to an individual pursuant to an inquiry received from that individual or a third party on his or her behalf.
3. Disclosure to a congressional office in response to an inquiry from that office made at the request of the subject of a record.
4. Disclosure to State or local agencies, (or agents on their behalf), for administering the Medicaid program.
5. Disclosure to contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting SSA in the efficient administration of its programs.
6. Disclosure to the Department of Justice (DOJ), a court or other tribunal, or other third- party before such tribunal when:
(a) SSA, or any component thereof, or
(b) Any SSA employee in his or her official capacity; or
(c) Any SSA employee in his or her individual capacity where DOJ (or SSA where it is authorized to do so) has agreed to represent the employee; or
(d) The United States or any agency thereof where SSA determines that the litigation is likely to affect the operations of SSA or any of its components, is a party to litigation or has an interest in such litigation, and SSA determines that the use of such records by DOJ, the court or other tribunal is relevant and necessary to the litigation, provided, however, that in each case, SSA determines that such disclosure is compatible with the purpose for which the records were collected.
7. Information may be disclosed to student volunteers and other workers, who technically do not have the status of Federal employees, when they are performing work for SSA as authorized by law, and they need access to personally identifiable information in SSA records in order to perform their assigned Agency functions.
8. Non-tax return information, the disclosure of which is not expressly restricted by Federal law, may be disclosed to the General Services Administration (GSA) and the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) under 44 U.S.C. § 2904 and § 2906, as amended by the National Archives and Records Administration Act of 1984, for the use of those agencies in conducting records management studies.
9. We may disclose information to appropriate Federal, State, and local agencies, entities, and persons when (1) we suspect or confirm that the security or confidentiality of information in this system of records has been compromised; (2) we determine that as a result of the suspected or confirmed compromise there is a risk of harm to economic or property interests, identity theft or fraud, or harm to the security or integrity of this system or other systems or programs of SSA that rely upon the compromised information; and (3) we determine that disclosing the information to such agencies, entities, and persons is necessary to assist in our efforts to respond to the suspected or confirmed compromise and prevent, minimize, or remedy such harm. SSA will use this routine use to respond only to those incidents involving an unintentional release of its records.
Policies and practices for storing, retrieving, accessing, retaining and disposing of records in the system:
Data may be stored in paper form and on magnetic media (e.g., discs).
Records in this system are indexed and retrieved by the SSN.
Security measures include the use of access codes to enter the computer system which will maintain the data, and storage of the computerized records in secured areas which are accessible only to employees who require the information in performing their official duties. Any paper records will be kept in locked cabinets or in otherwise secure areas. Contractor personnel having access to data in the system of records will be required to adhere to SSA rules concerning safeguards, access and use of the data. SSA and contractor personnel having access to the data will be informed of the criminal penalties of the Privacy Act for unauthorized access to or disclosure of information maintained in this system of records.
Retention and disposal:
Magnetic discs and other files with personal identifiers are retained in secure areas accessible only to authorized personnel and will be disposed of as soon as they are determined to be no longer needed for contractor or SSA analysis. Means of disposal will be appropriate to the storage medium (e.g., deletion of magnetic discs or shredding of paper records). Records used in administering the demonstration and experimental programs will be retained indefinitely.
System manager and address:
Division of Representative Payment and Evaluation
Office of Program Benefits
Social Security Administration
6401 Security Boulevard
Baltimore, Maryland 21235
Notification procedure:
An individual can determine if this system contains a record about him/her by writing to the systems manager(s) at the above address and providing his/her name, SSN or other information that may be in the system of records that will identify him/her. An individual requesting notification of records in person should provide the same information, as well as provide an identity document, preferably with a photograph, such as a driver's license or some other means of identification, such as a voter registration card, credit card, etc. If an individual does not have any identification documents sufficient to establish his/her identity, the individual must certify in writing that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense.
If notification is requested by telephone, an individual must verify his/her identity by providing identifying information that parallels the record to which notification is being requested. If it is determined that the identifying information provided by telephone is insufficient, the individual will be required to submit a request in writing or in person. If an individual is requesting information by telephone on behalf of another individual, the subject individual must be connected with SSA and the requesting individual in the same phone call. SSA will establish the subject individual's identity (his/her name, SSN, address, date of birth and place of birth along with one other piece of information such as mother's maiden name) and ask for his/her consent in providing information to the requesting individual.
If a request for notification is submitted by mail, an individual must include a notarized statement to SSA to verify his/her identity or must certify in the request that he/she is the person claimed to be and that he/she understands that the knowing and willful request for, or acquisition of, a record pertaining to another individual under false pretenses is a criminal offense. These procedures are in accordance with SSA Regulations (20 CFR § 401.40).
Record access procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably specify the record contents being sought. See 20 C.F.R. § 401.40(b)(1998).
Contesting record procedures:
Same as notification procedures. Requesters should also reasonably identify the record, specify the information they are contesting and state the corrective action sought and the reasons for the correction with supporting justification showing how the record is untimely, incomplete, inaccurate or irrelevant. These procedures are in accordance with SSA regulations 20 C.F.R. § 401.65(1998).
Record source categories:
Data for the system are secured primarily from individual beneficiaries (or their representative payees if applicable) who are screened for eligibility for Medicare Part B buy-in as part of SSA's demonstration. Records in this system may also be derived in part from other SSA systems of records (e.g., the Master Beneficiary Record (60-0090) and the Supplemental Security Income Record and Special Veterans Benefits (60-0103)).
Systems exempted from certain provisions of the Privacy Act:

An American Fork man was charged Monday with causing brain injuries to his girlfriend's baby, including one that left the child unresponsive and possibly blind.
Robbie Michael MacDonald was arrested on Friday after police determined he was responsible for inflicting the injuries on a 10-month-old boy in January.
According to a probable cause affidavit from American Fork Police, the baby was discovered unconscious and not breathing on the afternoon of Jan. 18. The child was taken to Primary Children's Medical Center, where doctors found he had severe brain bleeding and swelling behind the eyes, symptoms commonly associated either with abusive head trauma or violent shaking.
The affidavit, which was dated Feb. 8, stated that the boy was still unresponsive and had to be fed through a tube. Charging documents filed Monday in 4th District Court further state that the child "will have developmental problems and have a long-term disability, including potential blindness."
Officers allege MacDonald was the only person with access to the child at the time of the injuries. MacDonald allegedly changed his story about what happened that day, initially saying in a written statement that he put the child down for a nap and found him unresponsive when he checked on him later.
However, in a later interview, MacDonald told investigators that he tripped while carrying the baby and dropped him on the floor, according to court documents. Doctors have said that the child's injuries were too severe for that explanation, according to the police statement.
MacDonald pleaded guilty to misdemeanor child abuse in Layton in 2008 after slapping a 1-month-old in the face when the baby wouldn't stop crying. He received a one-year suspended prison sentence and a $1,000 fine, but served 180 days in jail after violating his probation in 2010.
In the most recent case, MacDonald was charged with second-degree felony child abuse and making a false written statement to police, a class A misdemeanor.

Rabbi Saperstein: "As we thank the Obama Administration, members of Congress, and military leaders whose leadership resulted in today's repeal of 'Don't Ask Don't Tell,' we encourage them to build on today's step forward by adopting policies that will further ensure equality for LGBT servicemembers."

Washington, DC September 20, 2011 - In response to today's repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell," Rabbi David Saperstein, Director of the Religious Action Center of Reform Judaism, issued the following statement:
This morning, after a lengthy process, the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, which required lesbian, gay, and bisexual service members to hide their sexual orientation, was fully repealed. Today marks the first time in American history that lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals can serve openly in the military.
We celebrate the end of a discriminatory policy that diminished lesbian, gay, and bisexual members of our military even as they sought to serve and defend our country. At long last, lesbian, gay, and bisexual Americans in uniform will be able to be honest about themselves with their friends and co-workers without living in constant fear of discovery.
Even amidst today's celebrations, we recognize the challenges ahead. Because of the misguided Defense of Marriage Act, same-sex military spouses will continue to be denied the same federal benefits provided to opposite-sex military spouses, including medical care, housing, or moving costs. As we thank the Obama Administration, members of Congress, and military leaders whose leadership resulted in today's repeal of "Don't Ask Don't Tell," we encourage them to build on this step forward by adopting policies that will further ensure equality for lesbian, gay and bisexual service members. In Genesis 1:27 we read, "And God created humans in God's image, in the image of God, God created them; male and female God created them." Today's "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" repeal reflects that fundamental value and respect for the Divine spark within all people.

Much can be left unsaid in a loving relationship. And, over the many months and years, this lack of communication on what can be important aspects of a relationship can cause problems and even break-up. No relationship is beyond repair. The desire to want to repair hurt feelings and ineffective communication is the biggest hurdle. Two loving adults who want their relationship to be successful can indeed be just that.

My approach to couple's counseling focuses on identifying relationship patterns, unmet needs, and developing new and healthy ways of relating. Many couple's slowly grow apart over time and lose the feeling of closeness. Often this comes out as, 'we are two different people' or 'we can't communicate anymore'. Most couple's try to solve these problems on their own often for years. As the frustration grows, the relationship strains. There is hope as new healthy patterns can be created and most of this is done in session until couples are confident on their own. Usually this course of treatment takes 12 to 16 sessions.

In the context of the experiential process couples are supported with a safe environment structured to encourage each partner to identify internal states (thoughts and feelings) of the immediate experience/ task that are influencing behavior patterns. Reflection on each person's behavior patterns and how the patterns interact within the context of the experiential activity and process opens the door to behavioral change in the form of new routines, boundaries, and practices as well as developing emotional intelligence skills. The experiential process and techniques allow for an increase in and enhancement of the level of intimacy between the two individuals in the relationship.

Delivering optimized performance for minimal weight, the ultralight Alpha SL Pant packs small, ready to provide emergency weather protection when needed. N40r GORE-TEX® fabric with Paclite® product technology is waterproof, breathable and exceptionally light. The nylon ripstop face offers some abrasion and tear resistance. Where higher levels of durability are required, Arc'teryx uses hardwearing N150p-X GORE-TEX® fabric.
Built to handle wide range of alpine pursuits while weighing as little as is functionally possible, the Alpha SL Pant uses only essential features. Drawcords at the hem work with a tuck away bootlace hook to provide a secure, full coverage fit, even while climbing. The dual waist adjusters fit comfortably under a pack or harness, and the trim leg fit reduces crampon snags and allows for more effective layering. The Athletic fit with e3D patterning maximizes ergonomic freedom.
An example of the Arc'teryx commitment to performance focused design is the Alpha SL's side zip system. Running the length of the pant, the zipper separates completely, making it easy to put on and take off the pant as weather shifts. By partially unzipping each side at the top, the system creates a drop seat, a feature that is truly appreciated when needed. Arc'teryx WaterTight™ zippers are used for a streamlined, snag free profile.

Inside Lacrosse and @ILPreps will be following the crowning of high school lacrosse state champions through the 2012 season. The Southeast is starting to wrap up their seasons. First up, South Carolina and Louisiana.
From JesuitNola.com: "Jesuit won its first state championship in lacrosse Sunday (April 29), beating St. Paul's 7-5. The championship match was played at St. Thomas More in Lafayette. The Blue Jays defeated St. Thomas More on Saturday in a thrilling come-from-behind match. Jesuit trailed 5-1, before scoring eight unanswered goals, en route to a 9-5 win.
Pictured above (from left) are the team's seven seniors: Grant Barrilleaux, Roddy Stieffel, Ben Bagwill, Brian Barbara, André Benoit, Michael Marquis, and D.D. Joachim. All played key roles in helping their team take the title. Marquis was named the tournament's Offensive MVP. Junior Zack Tassin was named defensive MVP. The winning goal tender was sophomore Jorge Abadin. The lacrosse team is coached by Mike Brantley, who is assisted by Chad Carlson, Jared Hillenbrand, Brendan Saxon, and Steve Krobert '05."
From PostandCourier.com: "Wando had to hold its breath and hang on for dear life. The Warriors had a four-goal lead at halftime and managed to hold off a determined Dorman team to gain a 7-6 victory in the South Carolina High School League's lacrosse state championships."
From SavannahNow.com: "Every player on the Benedictine lacrosse team wears RIP10 on the back of his jersey to memorialize Ricky McAllaster, a friend and teammate who died in a car accident in 2010.
On Saturday, the Cadets honored McAllaster and his father, head coach Dick McAllaster, the best way they could — with a state championship. Led by six goals apiece from senior Jacob Adair and sophomore Liam Cunningham, BC throttled Charleston Lacrosse Club, 18-3, in the final of the South Carolina Independent School Lacrosse League."
From TheState.com: "Hammond defeated Heathwood Hall 12-6 in the first SCISA boys lacrosse championship game on Saturday at Edens Stadium. It was the second triumph in three years for the Skyhawks, who secured a club lacrosse title in 2010.
"We're a very young team with only one senior, so this feels very good," Hammond coach Jonathan Patterson said."

O'Brien's Tower
Photograph by Ryan Donnell, Aurora
Ireland's booming tourist industry was predicted by Sir Cornelius O'Brien—a self-proclaimed descendent of legendary High King Brian Boru—who wanted to capitalize on the throngs of Victorian tourists coming to see the magnificent views from the Cliffs of Moher in County Clare. In 1835, O'Brien built his tower at the highest point of the cliffs so that visitors could stand on the roof in hopes of catching a glimpse of attractions like Galway Bay, the Twelve Pins, and the Aran Islands.

Post subject: The Usual Suspects...?
-Eagles Mafia-
Let's cut straight to the chase: Players are citing problematic individuals in the locker room. Who are they?
Many are speaking, some may be telling the truth, others may be lying.
Who is your #1 suspect?
What we know:
Jeremy Maclin
"I think weve got to respect each other. If you respect somebody, youre more willing to go out there and play for that person or play for a purpose. I think the lack of respect that maybe some guys have for other guys definitely hurt us.
I do think the lack of I guess, how everybody viewed each other, Maclin said. I dont think everybody viewed each other like a team should."
Im talking about guys who have been in this league and should understand how to be a pro, I feel like, werent acting that way. Period. And thats all Im going to say about it. Thats what it was. Guys I felt like should have been pros, have been in this league and understand how things go, wasnt acting like it.
Michael Vick
"It's all about focus, dedication and commitment," Vick said, via CSN Philly. "Until you get guys who are willing to better themselves week in and week out and want to win, you're not going to win. And I haven't played with guys like that. It's unfortunate for Coach thing[s] turned out the way they are. It could have been a lot better. This locker room could have dictated that."
"I give 110 percent effort," he said. "My body is scarred up all year. I'm hurt, I'm bruised, get up after every hit and still try and fight and push. I do that for my coaches. I do that for my teammates. And I would expect the same thing in return."
Jason Avant
But one thing I do know is that we need guys who will buy into a system, no matter if its Coach (Andy) Reids system or anything else. Im hoping and praying its Coach Reid. But if thats not the case, were still going to (need to) have the players to be responsible and also accountable and not to allow the amenities of the NFL to distract them from what the game is really about, which is playing hard for the team; playing hard for the City of Philadelphia. I think that was part of the distraction.
When people dont go as hard as they ought to or they lay down or different things like that, its a reflection of the players and the type of individuals that you have out there, Avant said. I think its one of those things that has to be corrected for next year. I think that has to be a total buying in by the players for the coaching staff.
Lesean McCoy
Asked how many Eagles players let Reid down, McCoy said, Tons, tons of guys."
I think guys made a lot of excuses, McCoy said. Guys maybe werent playing up to par, guys werent focusing enough, guys making a certain amount of money, not putting out. So I think guys were looking for excuses.
I dont think they did, McCoy said. I dont think some players did at all. Thats obvious. You see some of the scores, you see some of the plays, you see some of the stuff happening. You dont see Coach Reid out there just making errors like that. I think some of the things youre asking me are obvious. Did guys lay it down on the line? I mean, you see the games.

My suspects:
Maclin's quotes seem to sound like
Jason Babin
, as he cited veterans were not acting professionally. Babin was also released with his cancerous partner, Washburn (though not simultaneously).
Vick sounds like
, perhaps
Nate Allen
. Vick cites giving up his body and health for the team, and he expects the same. These are soft guys who didn't do that very often.
Avant just seems to be speaking to the cubic crap ton of free agents we brought in. Both Roseman and Lurie cited the need to tone down our free agency spending, which ruined chemistry.
McCoy seems to be speaking of
, citing money. Who else could it be? Perhaps
as well, as Lesean pointed that people were making more money than they were worth.
Desean Jackson

Jackson's on IR and Babin is in Jacksonville, so they get a pass.
Here's a list of player reactions.
A lot of names there.
had both been very vocal all year. Why so quiet now?

My initial reaction/guess/whatever was Nnamdi, Babin, and/or DRC.
By commenter you posted:
-Maclin: Definitely pointing the finger at the veterans, possibly even ones that were great teammates but weren't acting like it.
-Vick: Went after guys that didn't seem to improve (or want to improve) or give full effort.
-Avant/McCoy: Goes after guys who play for money, not for the team.
Still looks like Nnamdi, Babin, and/or DRC: all veterans that were continuously crappy and had big contracts. Interesting that the more out-spoken guys are all offensive. Wonder if there's animosity (understandably) between offense and defense?

Yea I think there was a schism between the Dline and the rest of the D. And both sides as well.
We all know the reports that Wash had a little club and I think that was the big issue on this team. And
was his LiL buddy and fits everything we heard.
With how bad both sides played I think the finger pointing on top of that of which side's fault it was continued to divide the locker-room.
I wonder how good of teammate
was when he was benched....he could be who Avant and Maclin were talking about .

I sympathize with Vick in-so-far as his effort on the field is concerned. He's a bad quarterback, but it's not like he isn't trying. Plus he was getting plastered and somehow survived long enough until Ernie Sims' under-bite put an end to him.
He called the players only meeting, where we know guys like Avant and surprisingly Maclin spoke up.
I think the young guys who look up to Vick really wanted him to take control of the team, but never did. There was another article I can't find now where Vick explained he tried to take a modest approach, ala lead by example.

Here we go:
Michael Vick: I should have called troubled Eagles players out
"I should have done it," Vick said. "But I tried to take the modest approach, I tried to lead by example. I held a team meeting and tried to help guys recommit. It was still the same thing over and over again."
"I'm not going to tell a grown man the same thing twice because the reason I ended up incarcerated was because people told me the same thing over and over again and I didn't listen. I feel like if you don't learn in the first go-around, you disregard it. You just deal with the consequences because there will always be consequences."
It's definitely a lot more than just DRC, Jackson, Nnamdi, and Babin. Four or five guys won't spur this type of reaction, especially when one of the above was cut and another on IR.

You are crazy if you dont think they aren't talking about DeSean Jackson. He formed a close bond with those guys and then turned his back on on every one last year cause he wasn't get paid, he quit on national TV remember. How could you ever trust this guy or could things be the same between him and every one else? Andy gambled on it thinking he would get every one paid and it would all smooth over again but the issue became more they let DeSean cross the line and he was now in his mind welcome to cross it again when ever. Players aren't dumb and have little trust to go around. They wont ever forget.
DeSean Jackson has shut it down. Totally, undeniably, without question, without shame, unabashedly shut it the hell down. Jackson has quit on his team.
There was a shot of Jackson sitting on the Eagles bench during the teams humiliating loss to a bad Seattle team and Vince Young was speaking to Jackson and Jackson just stared off into the distance.
Everyone who saw that knew what they had just witnessed: an uninterested receiver who had checked out on the season.
They should have anticipated this with Jackson. I could have told you Jackson was going to ask for the check if he didnt get a new deal and if I knew, the Eagles should have. They should have paid Jackson or traded him. Those were the two options. The Eagles tried to do some sort of combo of those two options.
I find it difficult to believe Eagles players trust Jackson. Same with the coaching staff.
In that game on Thursday night, Young was fighting hard. Other Eagles were fighting their asses off. Jackson, um, was not.
Because Jackson has flat out quit
Its the truth.
DeSean thinks hes a celebrity. Hes been treated like one most of his life. He has always thought he was above others and will be in demand no matter what. It eventually rubs humbler harder working team mates the wrong way and in a way its to hard to repair.

Maclin seems like one of the more vocal leaders on the team....Him, Avant, and Shady are definitely three guys out there who give a crap on every play.
I do feel bad for Vick. I mean, he sucked this year...but the dude was trying his butt off. I respect his work ethic and I do hope he can find some success wherever he goes...he deserves it.
Wonder what kind of approach Howie and Lurie are gonna take to this stuff in terms of signing/cutting guys...Will they resign DRC? Cut Nnamdi?

I disagree. I don't think that was directed towards Desean Jackson in the least. I'm not getting where all of this hate is coming from based off 2012, not 2011. IMO it is without a doubt talking about DRC pi$$ poor effort worrying about his next contract and not getting injured ala Desean. Babin without a doubt because he felt self entitled and comfortable coming off 2011 and with Washburn having his back and Yes Nnamdi for the effort put forth at times in games. So for his comments I'd go with DRC, Babin and Nam. Another player flying under the radar who probably had a tempertantrum or two after his benching and FA contract was probably Bell.

Vick is one of the main culprits. Every time he is interviewed he has this "I" attitude. He was arguably the worst QB in the league and when the Eagles bring up renegotiating his contract, he takes to the media and slaps management down. Combine that with his brothers mouth all season and you have a problem child. Thank God this cancer will be cut out soon.

A Cheektowaga, New York man was repeatedly called the "n-word" in a Dollar General parking lot by an irate White woman and he captured the entire thing on video, reports the International Business Times.
The verbal assault was set into motion when the man allegedly scared the woman, identified as Janelle Ambrosia, and her children when he started his vehicle.
The video goes on for approximately four minutes and, during that time, Ambrosia loudly flings the "n-word" at the unidentified man, eventually threatening to throw her coffee on him.
"You're a n–ger!"
"I called you a n–ger. You're a n–ger! Nasty f–king n–ger!"
"Talk to this f–king n–ger right now. I'm telling you, he's recording me," she said to her husband. "Tell him you will f–king kill him. I will f–king yank his ass out the car."
"I'm really not a racist, I was just pissed off. If he didn't try to almost hit my kids, none of this would have happened," she said.
"Quite frankly, if you look it up, [n-word] means an ignorant person," she replied. "It has nothing to do with race. But it's okay for him to call me a racist or honky. That's racist."
Watch the WBLK interview below:
[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxfY5UTUHSA&w=560&h=315%5D
Ambrosia claims that she's bi-polar and that her ex-husband is trying to use the video to gain custody of their children.
As for the man she verbally assaulted in the Dollar General parking lot, his goal was to shine the light on racism that many people try to pretend doesn't exist in a "post-racial" society.
"Racism is alive and well, I tell you … amazing. Absolutely amazing," he can be heard saying in the recording. "This is where we live at. This is exactly where we live and what goes on. I start my car, she calls me a n–ger. Amazing."

I'm caught up in Julia Child fever {so much so that I've started a new blog – visit Dinner with Julia and follow me as I dive into Julia's recipes}; the movie Julie & Julia is opening this weekend and I'm not ashamed to say that I will be standing in line for a ticket. I've read that Meryl Streep has captured the best of what we love about Julia, from her warbly, exuberant voice to her healthy physical lust for her husband.
Thinking about my Julia Child moment had me plucking my copy of Mastering the Art of French Cooking off the shelf for a little sit-down time. I wanted to make a recipe from the book, but I had trouble conjuring that spark of hunger that usually makes me rush to the kitchen to cook.
Is it because some of the recipes in Mastering are stuck in a bit of a time warp?
Browsing through the book, I see recipes that speak to another time, a time before crème fraîche became a staple in the grocery store and we knew not to cook a piece of pork to within an inch of its life: cold chicken aspic decorated with slivers of canned pimiento, veal Prince Orloff and crepes filled with boiled, canned pineapple. In my mind I draw a caricature of the 1960's American housewife that Julia was writing for – a perfectly coiffed woman about to throw a dinner party in her sprawling suburban ranch house, wearing a bullet bra, Jackie O skirt suit and smoking a long cigarette, like a character from the television show Mad Men.
But in between the thick, cream-colored pages of Julia's tome are a multitude of other classic recipes and techniques that will never go out of style or fail to please – her precise directions for making homemade mayonnaise, perfect rolled omelets and puffy souffles are what make Mastering the Art of French Cooking stand alone on the cookbook shelf.
I chose to make the bouillabaisse (page 52) the other day, along with a rouille sauce to smear on crusty toasted bread.
Bouillabaisse is a Provençal fish soup, and Julia stresses the importance of keeping it simple; the broth is fortified with lots of seafood shells and trimmings (available for less than a dollar a pound at your fish counter) and flavored with the typical flavors of the region: garlic, saffron, olive oil and tomatoes.
The soup was outstanding and I like how it had something for everyone at my table (picky children among them) – delicious broth, different kinds of fish and seafood, and a big hunk of bread to soak up every drop in the bowl.
The simplicity and authentic taste of this recipe is what Julia Child is all about to me. It also defines how I love to cook.
Julia says it best:
This is the kind of food I had fallen in love with: not trendy, souped-up fantasies, just something very good to eat….the ingredients have been carefully selected and beautifully and knowingly prepared. Or, in the words of the famous gastronome Curnonsky, "Food that tastes of what it is". (from My Life in France)
Here's to you, Julia!
Serve the bouillabaisse with toasted bread and rouille on the side.
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 cup each chopped onion and leek
- 4 cloves mashed garlic
- 2 or 3 large, ripe tomatoes
- 2 1/2 quarts water
- Fresh herb sprigs: thyme, parsley, fennel fronds and basil (in any combination)
- 1/2 teaspoon saffron
- 1 tablespoon sea salt
- 3 - 4 pounds fish heads, bones, trimmings, shrimp shells
- 1 1/2 pounds each peeled shrimp (use the shells for the stock); wild cod, halibut and/or sole cut into chunks, and debearded, scrubbed mussels or clams
- Toasted rustic bread
- 1 roasted and peeled red bell pepper
- 1 roasted hot red chile pepper or ground cayenne pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 small peeled garlic clove
- 1/4 cup fresh bread crumbs or finely chopped almonds
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley leaves
- Fine sea salt, about 1/2 teaspoon or to taste
- 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
- Heat the oil in a tall pot (I used an 8 quart stockpot) over medium heat; add the onion and leek and cook gently until softened. Stir in the garlic and cook for a minute until fragrant, then add the tomatoes, water, herbs, saffron, salt and fish bones. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat so that the broth bubbles slowly without boiling.
- Cook 30 minutes, then strain the broth into a large bowl or another pot and discard the solids.
- Pour the broth back into the stockpot and bring to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook until they turn pink, a minute or two. Add the rest of the fish and shellfish, cover and simmer until the mussels or clams open. Taste the soup and add more salt and freshly ground pepper if needed.
- Puree everything except for the olive oil in a food processor until smooth. Slowly add the olive oil while processing to form a paste.

Ongoing Palermo's strike isn't good for anyone

The strike at Palermo's Pizza isn't really good for anybody. It causes some personal pain for Palermo executives but sales haven't been hurt at all. The people on strike are no closer to their goal of voting on a union than they were before the strike.

Daughter of the Patriarchy: epilogue: What does leaving fundamentalism look like?
by SierraOccasionally, I get asked whether or not I ever actually left my old fundamentalist church. My story on No Longer Quivering followed my journey up to the first year of college.

There's not a clear, linear story from here on out, just a constellation.

PHOTOS: Lady Gaga strips during performance in London
Listen to Lady Gaga on iHeartRadio
Lady Gaga is not being very lady-like as she continues to promote ARTPOP around the world.
The star stopped by a nightclub in London on Saturday for a surprise performance, and had one huge surprise up her sleeve. According to accounts from attendees given to the "Daily Mirror," just as the Mother Monster started singing her new single "Venus," she lifted up her long, white gown and flashed her Lady Gaga parts to the whole audience.
Pictures from Twitter users show that she later did away with the dress entirely, removing it down past her waist as the song went on.
Meantime, in an interview with German newspaper "Blid," Gaga is talking about being stuck in a wheelchair earlier this year after her tour-ending hip injury. She confesses that she "turned to drugs and alcohol" at the time. The singer tells fans not to "do the same" as she's feeling "pure" and "sheer happy" now that she's recovered.

Diane Tran is a 17 year old High School student who works a full time and part time job to support her siblings. She also takes dual credit college courses like English Literacy, U.S. History and College Algebra as well as AP Spanish.
Due to exhaustion that caught up with her, Diane was sentenced to be jailed overnight and fined $100 by Judge Lanny Moriarty of Texas for truancy.
Jailing and fining, or otherwise punishing someone who is not just trying to survive but is doing better than what average might look like is not the so-called American Dream. In fact, dispel the myth of American Dream all you like, but in the envisioning of it, I would absolutely envision the likes of Diane Tran doing her best to find it. Punishing her is so wrong on so many different levels I cannot begin to express my disappointment.
Moriarty is a bully. He is not a compassionate human being and he should not be allowed to wield power over others. Missing the mark so far off in something as serious as putting a 17 year old person in jail (for being tired no less), where not only is there no victim, but lacking one seemingly iota of common sense that might otherwise yield, "This girl needs some help. Let's see what we can do for her." No. Instead he seeks to do something to her.
I am not even going to attempt broaching the idea of what even the idea of jail might do to the forming psyche of a 17 year old studious and hard-working student, much less the actuality of a night in jail. I am not going to delve into how hard, exhausting, or disheartening it must be for a young person carrying a challenging school schedule to have to turn $100 of hard-earned money into the state for a so-called 'crime' that was the result of her being so excellent for so long. No, I'm not delving into that.
It's too sickening.

Vacation checks can help keep your home safe
April 9, 2013
Many folks don't know of a program available in El Dorado County called vacation checks.
When a resident requests a vacation check, regular STAR patrols visit the property and check to make sure the doors and windows of the property are secure, that there are no indications of wild animal intrusion and the property, itself, appears secure.
There is no charge for the service, although most folks using the service send a donation to the STAR organization as a thank you. The checks are arranged by the El Dorado County Sheriff's Department and performed by the Sheriff's Department auxiliary volunteers.
If you are leaving your home for a period longer than the non-occupancy time allowed by your insurance policy, the vacation check will help establish that the property is not abandoned.
Talk with your insurance agent about the rules governing your property.
S.T.A.R.s are volunteers provide an extra set of eyes and ears and performing other duties when called upon to help keep the citizens of El Dorado County safe. Anyone age 50 or older may assist the Sheriff's Department by becoming a STAR.
For more information, call 530-573-3300.
