Naturally, by adhering to a strict model of immutability, concurrency suddenly becomes a simpler (although not simple) problem, meaning if you have no fear that an object's state will change, then you can promiscuously share it without fear of concurrent modification. Clojure instead isolates value change to its reference types. Clojure's reference types provide a level of indirection to an identity that can be used to obtain consistent, if not always current, states.
Imperative "Baked In"
Imperative programming is the dominant programming paradigm today. The most unadulterated definition of an imperative programming language is one where a sequence of statements mutates program state. During the writing of this article (and likely for some time beyond), the preferred flavor of imperative programming is the object-oriented style. This fact isn't inherently bad, because there are countless successful software projects built using object-oriented imperative programming techniques. But from the context of concurrent programming, the object-oriented imperative model is self-cannibalizing. By allowing (and even promoting) unrestrained mutation via variables, the imperative model doesn't directly support concurrency. Instead, by allowing a maenadic approach to mutation, there are no guarantees that any variable contains the expected value. Object-oriented programming takes this one step further by aggregating state in object internals. Though individual methods may be thread-safe through locking schemes, there's no way to ensure a consistent object state across multiple method calls without expanding the scope of potentially complex locking scheme(s). Clojure instead focuses on functional programming, immutability, and the distinction between state, time, and identity. But object-oriented programming isn't a lost cause. In fact, there are many aspects that are conducive to powerful programming practice.
Most of What OOP Gives You, Clojure Provides
It should be made clear that we're not attempting to mark object-oriented programmers as pariahs. Instead, it's important that we identify the shortcomings of object-oriented programming (OOP) if we're ever to improve our craft. In the next few subsections we'll also touch on the powerful aspects of OOP and how they're adopted, and in some cases improved, by Clojure.
Polymorphism is the ability of a function or method to have different definitions depending on the type of the target object. Clojure provides polymorphism via both multimethods and protocols, and both mechanisms are more open and extensible than polymorphism in many languages.
Listing Two: Clojure's polymorphic protocols.
(defprotocol Concatenatable (cat [this other])) (extend-type String Concatenatable (cat [this other] (.concat this other))) (cat "House" " of Leaves") ;=> "House of Leaves"
What we've done in Listing Two is to define a protocol named
Concatenatable that groups one or more functions (in this case only one,
cat) that define the set of functions provided. That means the function
cat will work for any object that fully satisfies the protocol
Concatenatable. We then extend this protocol to the
String class and define the specific implementation a function body that concatenates the argument
other onto the string
this. We can also extend this protocol to another type:
(extend-type java.util.List Concatenatable (cat [this other] (concat this other))) (cat [1 2 3] [4 5 6]) ;=> (1 2 3 4 5 6)
So now the protocol has been extended to two different types,
String and
java.util.List, and thus the
cat function can be called with either type as its first argument the appropriate implementation will be invoked.
Note that
String was already defined (in this case, by Java itself) before we defined the protocol, and yet we were still able to successfully
extend the new protocol to it. This isn't possible in many languages. For example, Java requires that you define all the method
names and their groupings (known as interfaces) before you can define a class that implements them, a restriction that's known as the expression problem.
The expression problem refers to the desire to implement an existing set of abstract methods for an existing concrete class without having to change the code that defines either. Object-oriented languages allow you to implement an existing abstract method in a concrete class you control (interface inheritance), but if the concrete class is outside your control, the options for making it implement new or existing abstract methods tend to be sparse. Some dynamic languages such as Ruby and JavaScript provide partial solutions to this problem by allowing you to add methods to an existing concrete object, a feature sometimes known as monkey-patching.
A Clojure protocol can be extended to any type where it makes sense, even those that were never anticipated by the original implementor of the type or the original designer of the protocol.
Clojure provides a form of subtyping by allowing the creation of ad-hoc hierarchies. Likewise, Clojure provides a capability similar to Java's interfaces via its protocol mechanism. By defining a logically grouped set of functions, you can begin to define protocols to which data-type abstractions must adhere. This abstraction-oriented programming model is key in building large-scale applications.
If Clojure isn't oriented around classes, then how does it provide encapsulation? Imagine that you need a simple function that, given a representation of a chessboard and a coordinate, returns a simple representation of the piece at the given square. To keep the implementation as simple as possible, we'll use a vector containing a set of characters corresponding to the colored chess pieces, as shown next.
Listing Three: A simple chessboard representation in Clojure.
(ns joy.chess) (defn initial-board [] [\r \n \b \q \k \b \n \r \p \p \p \p \p \p \p \p \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \- \P \P \P \P \P \P \P \P \R \N \B \Q \K \B \N \R])
In Listing Three, line 5 indicates lowercase dark, and line 10 indicates uppercase light. There's no need to complicate matters with the chessboard representation; chess is hard enough. This data structure in the code corresponds directly to an actual chessboard in the starting position, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 2: The corresponding chessboard layout.
From the figure, you can gather that the black pieces are lowercase characters and white pieces are uppercase. This kind of structure is likely not optimal, but it's a good start. You can ignore the actual implementation details for now and focus on the client interface to query the board for square occupations. This is a perfect opportunity to enforce encapsulation to avoid drowning the client in board implementation details. Fortunately, programming languages with closures automatically support a form of encapsulation to group functions with their supporting data. (This form of encapsulation is described as the module pattern. But the module pattern as implemented with JavaScript provides some level of data hiding also, whereas in Clojure not so much.)
The functions in Listing Four are self-evident in their intent (and as a nice bonus, these functions can be generalized to project a 2D structure of any size to a 1D representation which
we leave to you as an exercise) and are encapsulated at the level of the namespace
joy.chess through the use of the
defn- macro that creates namespace private functions. The command for using the
lookup function in this case would be
(joy.chess/lookup (initial-board) "a1").
Listing Four: Querying the squares of a chessboard.
(def *file-key* \a) (def *rank-key* \0) (defn- file-component [file] (- (int file) (int *file-key*))) (defn- rank-component [rank] (* 8 (- 8 (- (int rank) (int *rank-key*))))) (defn- index [file rank] (+ (file-component file) (rank-component rank))) (defn lookup [board pos] (let [[file rank] pos] (board (index file rank))))
On lines 4-5, we calculate the file (horizontal) projection. On lines 7-8, we calculate the rank (vertical) projection. Starting on line 11, we project a 1D layout onto a logical 2D chessboard.
Clojure's namespace encapsulation is the most prevalent form of encapsulation that you'll encounter when exploring idiomatic source code. But the use of lexical closures provides more options for encapsulation: block-level encapsulation (as shown in Listing Five) and local encapsulation, both of which effectively aggregate unimportant details within a smaller scope.
Listing Five: Using block-level encapsulation.
(letfn [(index [file rank] (let [f (- (int file) (int \a)) r (* 8 (- 8 (- (int rank) (int \0))))] (+ f r)))] (defn lookup [board pos] (let [[file rank] pos] (board (index file rank)))))
It's often a good idea to aggregate relevant data, functions, and macros at their most specific scope. You'd still call
lookup as before, but now the ancillary functions aren't readily visible to the larger enclosing scope in this case, the namespace
joy.chess. In the preceding code, we've taken the
file-component and
rank-component functions and the
*file-key* and
*rank-key* values out of the namespace proper and rolled them into a block-level
index function defined with the body of the
letfn macro. Within this body, we then define the
lookup function, thus limiting the client exposure to the chessboard API and hiding the implementation specific functions and forms.
But we can further limit the scope of the encapsulation, as shown in the next listing, by shrinking the scope even more to
a truly function-local context.
Listing Six: Local encapsulation.
(defn lookup2 [board pos] (let [[file rank] (map int pos) [fc rc] (map int [\a \0]) f (- file fc) r (* 8 (- 8 (- rank rc))) index (+ f r)] (board index)))
Finally, we've now pulled all of the implementation-specific details into the body of the
lookup2 function itself. This localizes the scope of the
index function and all auxiliary values to only the relevant party
lookup2. As a nice bonus,
lookup2 is simple and compact without sacrificing readability. But Clojure eschews the notion of data-hiding encapsulation featured
prominently in most object-oriented languages.
Not Everything Is an Object
Finally, another downside to object-oriented programming is the tight coupling between function and data. In fact, the Java programming language forces you to build programs entirely from class hierarchies, restricting all functionality to containing methods in a highly restrictive "Kingdom of Nouns." This environment is so restrictive that programmers are often forced to turn a blind eye to awkward attachments of inappropriately grouped methods and classes. It's because of the proliferation of this stringent object-centric viewpoint that Java code tends toward being verbose and complex. Clojure functions are data, yet this in no way restricts the decoupling of data and the functions that work upon them. Many of what programmers perceive to be classes are data tables that Clojure provides via maps and records. The final strike against viewing everything as an object is that mathematicians view little (if anything) as objects. Instead, mathematics is built on the relationships between one set of elements and another through the application of functions.
We've covered a lot of conceptual ground in this article. If you're still not sure what to make of Clojure, it's okay we understand that it may be a lot to take in all at once. Understanding will come gradually. For those of you coming from a functional programming background, you'll likely have recognized much of the discussion, but perhaps with some surprising twists. Conversely, if your background is more rooted in object-oriented programming, then you may get the feeling that Clojure is very different than what you're accustomed to. Though in many ways this is true, Clojure does elegantly solve many of the problems that you deal with on a daily basis. Clojure approaches solving software problems from a different angle than classical object-oriented techniques, but it does so having been motivated by their fundamental strengths and shortcomings. With this conceptual underpinning in place, we encourage you to explore Clojure further.
Michael Fogus is a software developer with experience in distributed simulation, machine vision, and expert systems construction. He's actively involved in the Clojure and Scala communities. Chris Houser is a primary contributor to Clojure and has implemented several features for the language. This article was adapted from their book The Joy of Clojure: Thinking the Clojure Way.

Marissa Mayer just made her second great move as Yahoo CEO: she warned shareholders that she might not return to them the $4 billion Yahoo is going to get selling its stake in Chinese Internet company Alibaba.
(The first brilliant move Mayer made was giving employees free food: an important recruiting tool in the Valley).
This is a very good decision because that $4 billion needs to be used strategically—-in a way that helps Yahoo grow its slowing business. (The whole operation depends on people checking Web-based email and then clicking on to other Yahoo Web pages with ads on them, and the trouble is that teens don't use email and adults are checking their email not on the Web, but on their phones.)
Giving $4 billion to shareholders through a stock buyback or a one-time dividend is like giving a 3-year-old $5,000 instead of putting it toward her college tuition. The kid/shareholder will love you for it at first, but will forget about it eventually and the long-term outlook will grow dimmer.
Holding onto the $4 billion and eventually spending it in a way that will grow Yahoo's core business—or a new core business—is a genius move: something Jeff Bezos would do.
If Mayer does keep the $4 billion, we bet she'll spend a good chunk of it on buying some startups with talented people and monetizable products built for the mobile and social era.
Some ideas!
- Quora: We hear Mayer wants to get out of Yahoo's search deal with Microsoft and go after Google in search. Question and answer site Quora is really just a search engine for a user-built database of information about products and services.
- Yelp: Mayer tried to buy Yelp when she was at Google, but Yelp rejected the offer and went for an IPO. Now Mayer could have it again for maybe $3 billion. Deciding where to eat is something people do on their phones, and Yahoo is not nearly mobile enough yet. Yelp has all the right buzzwords; it's social, mobile, and local.
- Vimeo: If Yahoo is going to be the Pepsi to Google's Coca-Cola, it'll need its version of YouTube, right? Over-the-top TV is coming, and there's lots of brand advertising money ($80 billion/year?) to be made in it eventually.
- Pinterest: On Pinterest, users collect photos of products and categorize them. Other users then browse the site and click on these products to find out where they can buy them. That's search! That's commercial! That'll cost Yahoo $3 billion or so.
Honorable mentions: Spotify, Hulu, Twitter (probably too expensive), and Foursquare (probably too small).
Contribute your own ideas below …
Correction: An earlier version of this post suggested the Alibaba sale would net Yahoo $7 billion. The number is closer to $4 billion.

Conversations from the Wx Frontlines: Terry Emelander
Another winner of the 2011 Weatherization Assistance Program National Recognition Award, presented at the National Weatherization Training Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana, was Terry Emelander. (You can view an entire list of winners here.)
Terry is the owner and president (along with being a licensed Michigan builder) of T & L Services, a design and build construction company located in Allegan, Michigan. He runs his company with the help of his son, Terry Emelander Jr., who, with 12 years of carpentry experience, heads the weatherization division of T & L Services.
The following is a Q&A with both Terry Sr. and his son.
HE: What does this award mean to you?
Terry Emelander Sr.: I was proud to accept the award and recognition for T & L Services while being able to provide my employees with steady income for three winters in a row. I'm also proud to have helped low-income families in the community reduce energy costs and save the money that they need.
HE: What's the most unusual home you've worked on?
Terry Emelander Jr.: Clients' homes have varied from newer homes built after 1978 to older homes built before, when lead-safe practices were strictly followed to mobile and manufactured homes. The most challenging homes to work on were homes that were created inside pole barn-like frames. These homes were difficult to insulate and stop all the possible leaks and ways for heat to get out.
HE: How do you see weatherization thriving (or not) post-ARRA funds?
Terry Emelander Sr.: As the ARRA funding comes to an end, so does the ability to ensure work for most construction companies, their employees, and suppliers involved. Many homes were weatherized but in the low-income community so many more homes could utilize these measures and decrease their energy costs, giving them more money to help stimulate Michigan's stagnant economy.
While T & L Services was offered the opportunity to extend their contract for another year in several local agencies, we are well aware of the reduced funding—we've been told that the levels of production over the next year will be significantly lower.
HE: What do you see for the future of the weatherization program - both locally and nationally?
Terry Emelander Sr.: I can only hope that the analysis of the data gathered from ARRA and the reduction of energy costs will be enough to mandate an increase in funding over the coming years for programs that offer similar services. For right now, though, I am unsure of the future of weatherization assistance.

Although it is arguably hard to read the name Skytap Incorporated without thinking about fictional self-aware artificial intelligence systems, one should actually focus on the firm's self-service application development environments in the cloud.
The Skytap Cloud built on Amazon Web Services (AWS) infrastructure gives software application developers development and test environments that mirror AWS production environments, while utilizing the tools and solutions already used by development teams — such as Jenkins, Microsoft Team Foundation Server, and IBM Rational Team Concert.
With this release, Skytap now supports both native AWS and VMware workloads.
Skytap says its focus on development and testing means support for on-demand deployment of complex compute and networked environments to dev/test teams.
"Rapid devs want to deliver major applications in weeks, days if possible," wrote John Rymer and James Staten, both analysts at Forrester Research. "They see public cloud platforms as a fresh start with the potential to yield massive gains in the quantity, velocity, and quality of application delivery."
"With Skytap Cloud built on AWS, enterprise customers leverage Skytap's ALM integrations to enable turnkey continuous integration on AWS infrastructure," said Brian White, vice president of products at Skytap. "Developers, testers, and IT professionals now have the features and services they need to build and deliver better software faster within a closed-loop Skytap to AWS environment."
Developers can sign up for a free beta trial of Skytap Cloud on AWS, which provides full functionality and access to Skytap Cloud service and AWS infrastructure.

Dale H. Burress is the interim fire chief of the Shelby County Fire Department following last month's retirement of Clarence Cash.
Burress has been appointed by Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell from being deputy fire chief, a position Burress held since May 2012.
Meanwhile, Glen F. Kneeland, the administrative battalion chief for county fire, becomes the interim deputy chief.
The number of people seeking U.S. unemployment benefits rose 8,000 last week to 339,000, evidence that layoffs ticked up. Still, the increase wasn't enough to suggest the job market is worsening.
The Labor Department said Thursday that the four-week average of applications, a less volatile measure, increased 3,500 to a seasonally adjusted 336,750.
The average is roughly in line with pre-recession levels and suggests that, despite last week's rise, companies are cutting few jobs. Applications are a proxy for layoffs.
Last week's figure may also have been pushed up by cold weather, which can cause construction firms and other companies to stop work.
A total of 3.52 million Americans received benefits as of Jan. 25 – the latest data available – up from 3.47 million the previous week.
The data suggests the job market remains stable, despite weak hiring in the past two months. Tepid job gains in January and December have raised concerns that the economy has lost momentum this year.
There's been a shakeup in management at Cornerstone Systems Inc.
Rick Rodell, current chairman and CEO at the Memphis-based third-party logistics provider, will relinquish his role as CEO and be replaced by Tim Clay, the company's president and chief commercial officer. Rodell will remain chairman of the company's board.
Clay has served as Cornerstone's president since October 2002 and as CCO since July 2012. A founding member of Cornerstone, Clay previously held the positions of chief operating officer and chief financial officer.
Rodell said he would remain involved with the company but no longer be responsible for daily operations.
Hetal Engineer has joined the Small Business Administration division of Memphis-based Evolve Bank & Trust.
Division president Marty Ferguson said Evolve had been looking for someone to help the company grow its sales team, and Engineer will fit that bill as regional sales manager.
Evolve currently operates four full-service branches in Arkansas and Tennessee and more than 30 loan production offices around the country.

A measure to do away with local government's power to decide whether to allow firearms in public parks has passed the Senate.
The measure sponsored by Republican Sen. Stacey Campfield of Knoxville was approved 26-7.
The Legislature in 2009 gave city and county governments the ability to opt out of a new law that allowed firearms in public parks, playgrounds and sports fields.
Under Campfield's proposal, permit holders would be allowed to carry, unless there's a school function.
Republican Gov. Bill Haslam has said he has concerns about the bill.
Nearly 60,000 Tennesseans signed up for coverage under the federal health insurance exchange through January, a 65 percent increase since the beginning of year.
According to nationwide statistics released Monday, 3.3 million people signed up from Oct. 1 through Feb. 1.
Of those who have signed up in Tennessee, adults ages 55 to 64 made up 33 percent of the total, while young adults between 18 and 34 made up 25 percent. Independent experts say that total needs to be closer to 40 percent to control costs.
Seventy percent of enrollees selected the mid-level silver plan, while 16 percent chose the lowest bronze level. Gold-level polices made up 9 percent, and the top-level platinum policies made up 5 percent.
About 36,000 people had signed up through December.
The average U.S. rate on a 30-year fixed mortgage edged up this week to 4.28 percent from 4.23 percent but remains near historically low levels after declining during the five previous weeks.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac said Thursday that the average for the 15-year loan was unchanged at 3.33 percent.
Mortgage rates have risen about a full percentage point since hitting record lows roughly a year ago. The increase was driven by speculation that the Federal Reserve would reduce its $85 billion a month in bond purchases. Deeming the economy to be gaining strength, the Fed proceeded last month with planned reductions of its bond purchases, which have helped keep long-term interest rates low.
Recent economic data have pointed to a likely pause in the housing market's recovery. Real estate data provider CoreLogic reported last week that U.S. home prices slipped from November to December. And the year-over-year increase slowed, likely a result of weaker sales at the end of last year.
Paragon National Bank's just-released earnings for 2013 show the year was the most profitable in the bank's nearly nine-year history.
The bank said its pre-tax income of $1.1 million for 2013 is the result of factors such as improved asset quality, increased loan activity and continued decreases in nonperforming assets. The fourth quarter also marked the 12th straight quarter of profitability for Paragon.
Among other highlights for the year, Paragon grew its assets to $272.7 million, up 8.21 percent from $252 million at the end of 2012. Also, total loans increased 8.2 percent from $182.5 million at the end of 2012 to $197.5 million at the end of 2013.
Dr. Andrei V. Alexandrov has been appointed chair of the University of Tennessee Health Science Center Department of Neurology and a Semmes-Murphey professor.
Alexandrov had been a professor of in the neurology department and director of the Division of Cerebrovascular Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.
Alexandrov will begin his work at UTHSC in March.
In a study led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, scientists have identified a signature immune response that might help doctors identify which newly diagnosed flu patients are most likely to develop severe symptoms and suffer poor outcomes.
The findings also help explain why infants and toddlers are at elevated risk for influenza complications.
The research results appear in the upcoming issue of The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine.
Workers at Volkswagen's lone U.S. plant in Tennessee are kicking off a three-day election about whether they want to be represented by the United Auto Workers union.
If the union succeeds, the Chattanooga plant would become the first among foreign automakers in the South to unionize.
That's a prospect that strikes dread among Republican politicians in the state, who say they worry about losing a competitive edge in drawing future business to Tennessee.
Republican U.S. Sen. Bob Corker, a former Chattanooga mayor who played a key role in bringing Volkswagen to Tennessee, has been among the most vocal critics of the union drive.
Corker on Tuesday called the vote a "quickie election" because it wasn't announced until last week and said the UAW was "stacking" the balloting in its favor.
Amazon says it is hiring more than 2,500 full-time workers at its order fulfillment centers around the U.S.
Amazon.com Inc. plans to announce Wednesday that the jobs are available in Chester, Va., and Petersburg, Va.; Coffeyville, Kan.; Columbia, S.C.; Dupont, Wash.; Murfreesboro, Tenn.
The world's largest online retailer says last year it hired more than 20,000 people at its fulfillment centers, with more than half starting out as seasonal workers. Amazon says the median income for people working at its order-fulfillment facilities is higher than at traditional retailers.
The Seattle-based company had 117,300 full-time and part-time employees at the end of 2013, according to a regulatory filing.
Dr. Matthew T. Ballo has been named chair of the newly formed Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Tennessee Health Science Center.
Ballo, previously a professor in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, began his duties in January.
Ballo has published 66 peer-reviewed research articles. He is member of the editorial review board and guest editor of Breast Diseases: a Yearbook Quarterly.
Old habits are hard to break when it comes to Mississippi lawmakers' desire to lock up criminals.
Two days after the state House passed House Bill 585, which aims to cut the number of state prisoners to save money, representatives voted 79-41 Wednesday to pass House Bill 63. It would limit the ability of violent offenders to get time off prison sentences after a second conviction.
Rep. Mark Formby, R-Picayune, said the bill could've prevented his aunt from being shot to death by a repeat offender. He and other supporters of the bill said people who commit a second violent crime after getting out of prison the first time haven't learned their lessons and shouldn't be able to earn time off.
"I don't see how anyone in this chamber could be against this," said Formby, the bill's sponsor.
But the measure, which moves on to the Senate for more debate, is opposed by Corrections Commissioner Chris Epps. He said he wants legislators to make changes using the comprehensive bill.
"The commissioner wants changes to come through that package," spokeswoman Grace Fisher said. "The package says violent offenders must serve a minimum of 50 percent of their sentence."
TD Ameritrade's CEO says the economy has improved considerably and investors are more confident, but conditions could still revert.
Fred Tomczyk told shareholders Wednesday that TD Ameritrade is in good shape to handle whatever the economy does, and the company's profits should continue to improve along with the stock market and interest rates.
Tomczyk says the company will remain focused on its long-term goals and won't try to boost short-term results artificially as interest rates rise.
TD Ameritrade is generates revenue from trading fees, investment advice fees and asset-based fees and interest on the client assets it holds.
The company's shareholders re-elected three directors, approved TD Ameritrade's auditing firm and endorsed its compensation policies Wednesday.

Owners of three-year-old vehicles are reporting more problems than they did a year ago, according to J.D. Power and Associates' annual survey of vehicle dependability. It's the first time since 1998 that the average number of problems per vehicle has increased.
J.D. Power, a California-based ratings and consulting company, said engine issues accounted for most of the increase in problems reported by the original owners of cars and trucks from the 2011 model year. Owners reported an average of 133 problems per 100 vehicles, up from 126 problems a year ago. Only problems within the prior 12 months are counted.
Automakers are rapidly implementing new engine technology to save fuel, including direct fuel injection and turbocharging, stop-start systems that automatically shut cars down at traffic lights and transmissions with higher gears. But those more complex systems can cause problems. David Sargent, J.D. Power's vice president of global automotive, said the company saw an increase in complaints about engine hesitation, rough transmission shifts and lack of power.
"While striving to reduce fuel consumption, automakers must be careful not to compromise quality," Sargent said in a statement.
The scores could improve in coming years because since 2011, automakers have worked to make new transmissions shift more smoothly, they've refined clunky stop-start systems and improved other fuel-saving technologies.
A new farm-to-table burger restaurant is slated to open in Overton Square in May.
The restaurant by Ben McLean, which is called Belly Acres, will occupy 3,894 square feet at 202 Trimble Place in Overton Square, on the east side of the new Tower Courtyard with a patio overlooking the area.
McLean, who has previously worked with Huey's, Soul Fish and Alchemy, is also assisting in the opening of Lettuce Eat in Germantown.
Belly Acres will source ingredients locally and offer a wide range of burger options, from carnivorous fare to vegetarian and gluten-free items. McLean plans to work with at least three local farms to provide the restaurant's ingredient supply.
He said Belly Acres will have a funky vibe attractive to children and adults.
Barry Maynard of Trezevant Realty Corp. represented the tenant in the transaction.
Virginia Stallworth has been named executive director of the Memphis Child Advocacy Center. She succeeds Nancy Williams, who held the post for 20 years.
Stallworth had been the agency's associate director and managed the organization's development activities. She directed multiple fundraising campaigns.
In 2011, Stallworth played a lead role in a child sexual prevention initiative.
Verizon Wireless has named Kristi Crum as the new president of its South Central Region, which includes West Tennessee and North Mississippi.
She'll be responsible for strategic development and growth of the region's business, retail, indirect, finance and operations functions.
She began her career in the wireless industry in 2001 as an analyst with Alltel, which Verizon Wireless acquired in 2009. Since then, she's served in leadership positions in emerging communication products, consumer data products and retail sales for Verizon Wireless.
A new report shows over the last decade more students are taking Advanced Placement courses in Tennessee.
But the College Board report released on Tuesday shows the state is below the national average of students in the class of 2013 who scored a 3 or higher on an AP exam. The national average was 20 percent, where Tennessee was 10 percent.
A 3, 4, or 5 are the scores typically accepted by colleges for credit and placement.
Over the past decade, the report said the number of students who graduate from high school having taken rigorous AP courses, like world history and physics, has nearly doubled.
The report also showed the improvement states have made over the last decade in students scoring a 3 or higher on an AP exam. Tennessee went from 7.7 percent in 2003 to 10.1 last year.
U.S. wholesale businesses increased their stockpiles in December at the slowest pace since last summer, another sign that the economy lost some momentum at the end of 2013.
Wholesalers boosted stockpiles by 0.3 percent in December from November, the smallest gain since July, the Commerce Department reported Tuesday.
Sales growth slowed to 0.5 percent December after healthy gains of 1 percent in November and 1.1 percent in October.
Rising stockpiles boost economic growth because they reflect expanding production at factories. Bigger inventories accounted for more than 40 percent of economic growth in the July through September period last year when gross domestic product increased at a robust 4.1 percent annual pace.
The surge in stockpiles slowed in the last three months of 2013, and overall growth fell back to a still-healthy 3.2 percent.
After the December increase, inventories at the wholesale level stood at a seasonally adjusted $517.9 billion, up 4 percent from a year earlier.
The government tracks inventories held by wholesalers, manufacturers and retailers. A report covering all inventory levels comes out Thursday.
At the wholesale level, inventories of computer equipment rose by 5.3 percent after a healthy 3.6 percent gain in November. Automotive stockpiles rose 0.6 percent after dropping in November. Overall, inventories of long-lasting durable goods rose 1.3 percent in December. But non-durable goods stockpiles fell 1.3 percent, pulled down by a 5.2 percent drop in inventories of farm products.
Another Broken Egg Cafe will open later this year in East Memphis.
Franchise owners Chris Gouras and George Gouras of Gouras Restaurant Group have signed a 3,232-square-foot lease at Park Place Centre, at 6063 Park Ave. in East Memphis
"Another Broken Egg Cafe will complement the cuisine offerings already in place perfectly, while bringing something new to the neighborhood," said Aaron Petree, who represented landlord Loeb Properties. "We are glad to be able to offer restaurant options at Park Place for our customers at all times of the day."
The lease brings the 105,000-square-foot center's occupancy to 93 percent. There will be a 357-square-foot addition constructed for the restaurant, plus a new outdoor patio.
The diner will offer breakfast, lunch and brunch. It will be open from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m. daily.
The restaurant chain is located at Miramar Beach in Florida. The Memphis location is the second for the Gouras brothers, following their restaurant in Ridgeland, Miss.
Barry Maynard with Trezevant Realty represented the franchisees in the deal.
The Indie Memphis Film Festival has set a date for this year's series.
The festival will hold its 17th edition on Halloween weekend – Oct. 30 to Nov. 2 – and will increase its presence in Overton Square by including the new Hattiloo Theatre, which opens mid-summer.
Hattiloo will join Playhouse on the Square, Circuit Playhouse and Malco's Studio on the Square as film venues for the festival.
Also, investment firm Duncan-Williams Inc. has extended its support as the festival's presenting sponsor through the 2014 festival.
The Blackstone Charitable Foundation has awarded a $100,000 grant to Launch Tennessee. The funds will support the creation of the Launch Tennessee Specialist Program, which will try to bring talent to Tennessee's network of nine regional startup accelerators.
The program will recruit university students studying subjects such as technology and management to be in-house subject matter experts at the state's regional accelerators.
Tennesseans have until Friday to take advantage of a $30 million multistate settlement against a marketer of discount clubs and memberships.
Affinion and its subsidiaries Trilegiant and Webloyalty offer a variety of services, including credit monitoring, roadside assistance and discount travel. Consumers complained the companies charged them for services without their authorization. Some also reported that they had trouble canceling or getting a refund.

Breadboarding ARM
Although the FRDM-KL25Z I talked about last time is a great board, my original goal was to get a fully breadboardable ARM processor up and running. You can, of course, run wires from the open header pins to a breadboard, but ultimately the board isn't just an ARM chip you can connect on a typical prototyping setup.
That's why I decided to explore the LPC1114FN28. The NXP chip is similar to the chip on the KL25Z board — slightly less flash and RAM (32K and 4K, respectively) but otherwise the same Cortex M0 CPU, a round of peripherals, and most importantly, a bootloader. The chips cost about $3 in singles.
The device takes 3.3V and has an internal 12MHz clock that you can boost up to 48MHz if you like. The DIP package is highly amenable to a breadboard (or a prototype through hole PC board). If you provide power, you only need a TTL-level serial port to program the chip through its bootloader. The inputs are 5V tolerant or will, of course, accept 3.3V levels, so any TTL converter based on a MAX232 or many of the USB to TTL serial adapters will do the trick.
Of the 28 pins, you really need these connections (in addition to whatever I/O you need for your specific application):
- Pin 15 — The serial port transmit from the host computer (that is, the computer you'll use to program the chip)
- Pin 16 — The serial port receive line
- Pin 21 — A 3.3V supply
- Pin 22 — Ground
- Pin 23 — This pin has to pull low to reset the chip
- Pin 24 — If you pull this pin to ground through a 1K resistor and reset the chip, the chip will enter bootloader mode
In addition, if you want to connect the chip's analog section (and you should even if you don't plan to use it), you'll want to connect pin 7 to 3.3V and pin 8 to the analog ground. For experimentation, it is sufficient to connect pin 7 to pin 21 and pin 8 to pin 22.
Assuming you have a TTL serial port adapter (or, more likely, a USB adapter with TTL level outputs that are easily available), it is nothing to connect this to a breadboard directly. I wanted a slightly neater arrangement, so I used a universal PC board to make the fixed connections, added a few LEDs, and put a jumper in to select the bootloader mode and handle the reset (see Figure below). However, on a breadboard, you could just use wire to make or break the connections for reset and the bootloader.
The bootloader needs software to feed your compiled files into the chip. FlashMagic is a popular choice, but I used lpc21isp (actually, a modified copy that knows about this device type). You first generate a .bin or .hex file (for example, using the Mbed compiler I mentioned last time). Then you need to make sure the bootloader jumper is connected and reset the chip (you can take the bootloader jumper off after reset). The software should be able to download your program. Although the tool said it would reset the chip, I found that sometimes I had to reset the chip manually.
With these chips, it is possible to burn a program that will prevent the chip from starting. For example, if you don't provide a clock, but you load a program that expects an external clock, the device will appear "bricked." However, you can always get into bootloader mode since it doesn't require any special configuration. That gives you a chance to rescue the part with a corrected program if you do brick one.
Like the Arduino, using a bootloader like this doesn't give you many debugging options without some external help. There are two ways to go. First, there are many LPCXpresso boards that you can get fairly inexpensively. These boards have two sections: a target board and an LPC-Link section that connects a USB connector to a programming/debug interface. You can take one of these boards and remove the bridges between the two sections. If you prefer, you can slice the boards into two, if you are careful.
The resulting LPC-Link board needs the following connections to your breadboarded LPC1114 CPU:
Link pin 2 - CPU pin 3 Link pin 3 - CPU pin 12 Link pin 8 – Ground
The board can also provide 3.3V power on pin 1 if you want to power your circuit from the board. The other pins on the Link board aren't needed for this processor.
The other method is to buy a standalone LPC-Link 2 board (for about $20). You don't have to do any surgery on this board and the interface is the same. The board is also capable of emulating several other kinds of USB debug probes if you need them for other projects.
Either way, you'll need some debugger that knows how to communicate with the chip. I used LPCXpresso. You can see in the Figure below that the Eclipse-based IDE give you breakpoints, variable watches, stack traces, and all the other things you expect in a debugger. You can also program the chip via either of the Link boards, so if you have one you don't really need the serial/USB port (unless you want to use it for your own purposes).
Assuming you already have a breadboard and a few simple items, you can start using these CPUs with very little effort. Even if you have to buy everything, you could spend as little as $20 — perhaps $40 if you buy the Link board for debugging. The result, though, is an easy to work with 32-bit development system that can create systems that are very inexpensive to deploy.
As I mentioned last time, the Mbed libraries make it easy to use the ARM peripherals without having to worry about multiplexing and set up. The program I showed last time won't work directly with this setup since it required the touch sensor on the KL25Z board, but the principle is the same. I'll wrap up next time with some example code that you could run on your new breadboard development system (no touch sensor required).

The New York native's acting breakthrough came in 1987 with "Less Than Zero," in which he portrayed Julian Wells, a young cocaine addict in Hollywood.
One of his greatest performances was as Charlie Chapman for which he earned an Oscar nomination.
In the mid to late 1990s Downey was arrested several times on drug-related charges, and he was in and out of rehab.
His guest-star turn on "Ally McBeal" as McBeal's love interest earned him a Golden Globe.
Once clean, Downey's career started to pick up. In recent years, he landed the role of Tony Stark, the lead character in the blockbuster "Iron Man." The sequel is slated for 2010. In 2009, he was nominated as best supporting actor for his role as a white actor trying to portray a black man in the comedy "Tropic Thunder."
Continuing his 2009 streak, Downey will be starring in "The Soloist" opposite Jamie Foxx and as the great detective in "Sherlock Holmes".

Wheel Balancing Kettlethorpe
Is Something Causing Vibrations through Your Steering Wheel, Seat and/or Floor? Does your Whole Vehicle get the 'Jitters' at or above Certain Speeds? Chances are, these vibrations are caused by unbalanced wheels.
Express Auto Centre Wheel Balancing Kettlethorpe can Help!
About Wheel Balance
A wheel or, to be more precise, a tyre is considered to be out of balance if a section of it is heavier than other sections. Although the majority of high quality tyres will typically hold their balance comparatively well, as they gradually wear down over time, even the best tyres' balance will slowly change.
Occasionally, hitting a pothole or a bump in the road can also cause lead balancing weights attached to the wheels (even top quality, brand new tyres rarely come out of production perfectly balanced, so these weights are attached to ensure a smooth ride) to fall off.
Effects of Unbalanced Tyres
An imbalance of just a single ounce on a front tyre is capable of causing the steering wheel to vibrate noticeably at around 60 mph (just under 97 km/h). An imbalance in the front wheels is typically indicated by vibration in the steering wheel, while an unbalanced rear tyre is more likely to cause vibrations to be felt through the seat of a vehicle. Either way, an unbalanced wheel can affect both the safety and handling of your vehicle. Here are some of the risks of driving with out-of-balance wheels:
- Vibration reduces drive comfort
- Detrimental effect on vehicle handling
- Severe strains and stresses on suspension components and wheel bearings
- Steering components may be damaged (in extreme cases, all parts may prematurely fail)
- Premature wearing of steering and suspension components, tyres and rotating parts
- Increase in fuel consumption
In short, ignoring symptoms of unbalanced wheels can be both expensive and dangerous.

MuleSoft's Anypoint management software for APIs is built around a "design-first" approach to APIs for developers, says the company. Recently updated, this product aims to tackle API management from design to deployment with support for RAML.
(RESTful API Modeling Language) is a concise, expressive language for specifying APIs.
New features include Anypoint API Portal for API design and collaboration, and Anypoint API Manager, for managing any existing service through an integrated API gateway.
These API management features are components of the broader Anypoint Platform and are intended to connect APIs to backend services via CloudHub iPaaS or Mule ESB.
Architects and developers will be able to design and build APIs, operations can ensure reliable and secure APIs, and business owners can make better decisions based on analytics and usage of APIs.
According to MuleSoft, "Anypoint API Portal allows API and application developers to design, test, and discover APIs in a web-based collaboration suite. The portal bakes in design-first principles, decoupling design from implementation and leveraging RAML to deliver APIs that are easy for developers to understand and use, while facilitating collaboration between API and application designers."
Also here is Mule Studio with APIkit, the Eclipse-based graphical design environment. Mule Studio implements any API design expressed in a RAML file, automatically generating the flows required to implement that API and connect it to a wide range of backend applications and services.
According to Forrester Research, Inc.'s June 2013 report by Randy Heffner, Establish Your API Design Strategy, "Business opportunity awaits. But before diving in to create an API, it's wise to form an API design strategy — that is, to establish the major parameters that your teams must take into account as they design and implement your APIs. Even when the pressure is high to get an API out the door now, a design strategy's consideration of business context, as well as its quick look to your APIs' future horizons, is critical for creating a strong foundation for your organization's API initiative."

El Asian wrote:so apparently WWE had taped Raw after CM Punk did his promo and its mentioned on the WWE website that Punk got "suspended", here's what happened, which started and ended the Raw taping last night-At the start of the show they had a graphic announcing that Rey Mysterio, Alberto Del Rio, and R Truth will be in a Number One Contender Match for the WWE Title at Money In the Bank. They also announced Alex Riley versus Miz.
John Cena comes out for a promo and he mentions that CM Punk has been stripped of his right to challenge John Cena for the WWE Championship in Chicago. He mentions that is why they are going to do the Triple Threat Match to determine a new number one contender. He also says that they are going to treat things as if CM Punk never existed in WWE.
Cena says that he is not happy with the decision and he believes that Punk was saying what he believes in, but he does not agree with Punk. He does agree with Punk's right to say what he did. Cena says that he wants answers from Vince McMahon and he wants those answers tonight.
John Cena says that he wants to face CM Punk at Money in the Bank
-John Cena's music played but he didn't come out. It stopped and out came Mr. McMahon to a decent reaction. He said that the C.M. Punk suspension has gotten out of hand and the camera man fixed his tie. He said Punk deserved to be suspended for what he said. He said this was about what was right for the fans. McMahon said he really suspended Punk because he wanted limo service and wanted to be on DVDs and such and he wasn't worthy. He then said he fired Punk because he deserved it and he is a punk.
Cena came out to a big reaction even in his third appearance tonight. He asked Vince if that was it? He accused Vince of kicking Punk to the curb and Vince said Punk kicked himself to the curb. Cena said Vince believes in free speech and Vince confirmed it. Cena then made fun of Vince's walk and said that Vince took everyone down because he's a fighter. He wondered why Vince wasn't a fighter now and said he wants to fight Punk. He said if Vince doesn't feel like fighting, he should hang it up.
Vince said he really suspended Punk because be doesn't want to take a chance on Cena. He doesn't want to risk Cena losing to Punk and losing the title and taking it to another organization. He said he will not be embarrassed. Vince said he's afraid of Cena not beating Punk. Cena said he wanted this match regardless of Punk's status. Cena said if he was a fan, this sounds like the match of the year to him. He asked if Vince would suspend him for saying something Vince didn't like.
Vince told Cena not to piss him off. He said not to be Hogan or any of the guys before him. Vince said he doesn't believe Cena can beat him. Cena said to take a chance and give the people what they want. Vince said he doesn't give a damn what the people want, it's his company and he does what is right for them.
Cena said he gets it. He then said it's not what he signed up for. He said he busts his ass for Vince and he believes the belt stands for something. He said Vince is worried that the belt is meaningless, but by sending Punk away he made it meaningless. Cena handed the belt to Vince and walked out. Vince stopped him and followed him up the ramp. He stood face to face with Cena on the ramp and said Punk is reinstated and he has the match.
Vince said that if Punk walks out of Chicago with the title, he is firing Cena.
CheMateo wrote: It would be super cool to see Punk parading around with the title in ROH or New Japan.

(o< x y) is true iff
x is strictly less than
o< is
well-founded on the
o-ps. When
x and
y are both nonnegative
o< is just the familiar ``less than'' relation (
o< plays a key role in the formal underpinnings of the ACL2
logic. In order for a recursive definition to be admissible it must
be proved to ``terminate.'' By terminate we mean that the arguments to
the function ``get smaller'' as the function recurses and this sense
of size comparison must be such that there is no ``infinitely
descending'' sequence of ever smaller arguments. That is, the
relation used to compare successive arguments must be well-founded
on the domain being measured.
The most basic way ACL2 provides to prove termination requires the
user to supply (perhaps implicitly) a mapping of the argument tuples
into the ordinals with some ``measure'' expression in such a way
that the measures of the successive argument tuples produced by
recursion decrease according to the relation
o<. The validity
of this method rests on the well-foundedness of
o< on the
Without loss of generality, suppose the definition in question
introduces the function
f, with one formal parameter
x (which might
be a list of objects). Then we require that there exist a measure
(m x), that always produces an
Furthermore, consider any recursive call,
(f (d x)), in the body of
the definition. Let
hyps be the conjunction terms (each of which is
either the test of an
if in the body or else the negation of such a
test) describing the path through the body to the recursive call in
question. Then it must be a theorem that

o< is ``well-founded'' on the
o-ps we
mean that there is no infinite sequence of
o-ps such that
each is smaller than its predecessor in the sequence. Thus, the
theorems that must be proved about
f when it is introduced establish
that it cannot recur forever because each time a recursive call is
(m x) gets smaller. From this, and the syntactic restrictions
on definitions, it can be shown (as on page 44 in ``A Computational
Logic'', Boyer and Moore, Academic Press, 1979) that there exists a
function satisfying the definition; intuitively, the value assigned
to any given
x by the alleged function is that computed by a
sufficiently large machine. Hence, the logic is consistent if the
axiom defining
f is added.
See o-p for a discussion of the ordinals and how to compare two ordinals.
The definitional principle permits the use of relations other than
o< but they must first be proved to be well-founded on some
domain. See well-founded-relation. Roughly put, alternative
relations are shown well-founded by providing an order-preserving
mapping from their domain into the ordinals. See defun for
details on how to specify which well-founded relation is to be

A new project has emerged this month for software application developers targeting Internet of Things related applications.
Berlin-based Relayr is developing WunderBar, a developer starter kit for building Internet of Things apps. The project allows programmers to "quickly access data from the physical world" with WunderBar's SDKs or with its REST API.
WunderBar is a sensor and software kit with the newest Bluetooth Low Energy (Beacon), WiFi, together with SDKs for iOS, Android, and Node.js and is packaged as a chocolate bar shape; i.e., "snappable" physical module chunks.
According to the project development team, the WunderBar has six smart modules. Three provide sensors to monitor temperature, proximity, light, color, humidity, and movement. A fourth sensor helps you control your home entertainment system with an infrared transmitter — and the last two will be "chosen by the crowd" through community choice.
With the WunderBar "Hello Thermometer" tutorial, the team claims that developers can have their first Internet of Things app up and running in less than 10 minutes. They provide the libraries, tutorials, and examples you need to start using the sensors in your environment.
Programmers can use Xcode, Android SDK, or text editor with command-line compilers — but with the "added benefit" of being able to access data from the physical world.
"No matter how good the frameworks and libraries you have, you need to be able to investigate how a sensor really works and operates. Our browser-based developer dashboard makes it simple to add graphical simulators to create scenarios to test your app. They fire real events at our cloud-based device integration layer, allowing you to view and test the full lifecycle of events. Our HTML log viewer allows you to review sensor activity historically or in real-time, making it easy to understand the data that flows to your app," said the organization, in a blog post.

College Addresses Long-Overdue Problem By Offering Degree in Brewing Beer
Students torn between hitting the books and hitting the bottle can have the best of both worlds at one college.
North Carolina's Blue Ridge Community College is offering an associate's degree ion brewing beer.
The school is expected to get approval from the state for the brewing, distillation and fermentation program next week.
Blue Ridge Dean of Applied Technology Chris English said the program will combine "the fundamentals and science of brewing with hands-on manufacturing skills" and that creating the field of study will help bring in a whole new industry to the region.
The time may be more ripe than ever to launch a program around brewing. Last year, over 400 breweries opened in the country, the most in one year since shortly after Prohibition came down. Nationwide, there are now 2,400 breweries.
To all you aspiring brewers, we say we hope your thirst for knowledge is as great as your thirst for a nice cold one.

The dependence on industry standard servers to run memory-intensive applications is pushing the memory capacity of servers to new levels. For server applications memory modules and other server components must withstand almost non-stop exposure to elements such as heat and electricity. The slightest defect can become a problem resulting in server crashes and data loss for multiple users. As server memory capacities increase so does the likelihood of memory errors that can corrupt data and cause servers to crash.

Wilderness Acreage Breakdown for the Sheep Ridge WildernessThe Sheep Ridge Wilderness is managed by:
|Administrative Unit
|Acreage (acres)
|Type of Measurement
|Forest Service
|Southern Region
|9,315 total acres
Definitions of types of measurement shown
LegislatedAcreage shown is taken directly from wilderness legislation. This value is the initial acreage estimate that is usually determined in the mark-up committee and staff that write the legislative text and create the wilderness boundary legal descriptions. In the past, these totals were estimated by using graphic tools such as dot grids or by adding Public Land Survey sections and fractional sections to estimate the initial acreage. This is a valid acreage estimate pending final boundary adjustment. Boundary adjustments involve land exchanges and inholdings that are resolved before the final Map of Record is filed.
Typical wilderness legislation wording regarding mapping: As soon as practicable after the date of enactment of this Act, the appropriate Secretary shall file a map and a boundary description of each area designated as wilderness by this Act with the Committee on Energy and Natural Resources of the United States Senate and the Committee on Natural Resources of the United States House of Representatives. Each map and description shall have the same force and effect as if included in this Act, except that the appropriate Secretary is authorized to correct clerical and typographical errors in such boundary descriptions and maps.
OfficialResponsibility for reporting wilderness acreage by each agency resides in the Lands or Realty divisions. This is often in the form of an annual lands report. The administering agency determines acreage by verifying changes that result from realignment of boundaries. Inholdings may or may not be excluded from acreage estimates (Forest Service acreage figures do not include inholdings). Once final boundary adjustments have been made and the final Map of Record has been filed, accurate computation of wilderness acreage is possible through Geographic Information System (GIS) procedures.
