NEW YORK (AP) — JPMorgan Chase & Co., already beset by costly legal woes, will pay more than $2.5 billion for ignoring obvious warning signs of Bernard Madoff's massive Ponzi scheme, authorities said Tuesday.
The nation's largest bank will forfeit a record $1.7 billion to settle criminal charges, plus pay an additional $543 million to settle civil claims by victims. It also will pay a $350 million civil penalty for what the Treasury Department called "critical and widespread deficiencies" in its programs to prevent money laundering and other suspicious activity.
The bank failed to carry out its legal obligations while Madoff "built his massive house of cards," George Venizelos, head of the FBI's New York office, said at a news conference.
"It took until after the arrest of Madoff, one of the worst crooks this office has ever seen, for JPMorgan to alert authorities to what the world already knew," he said.
Madoff banked at JPMorgan through what court papers referred to as the "703 account." In 2008, the bank's London desk circulated a memo describing JPMorgan's inability to validate his trading activity or custody of assets and his "odd choice" of a one-man accounting firm, the government said.
In late October 2008, it filed a suspicious activity report with British officials. In the weeks that followed, JPMorgan withdrew about $300 million of its own money from Madoff feeder funds. The fraud was revealed when Madoff was arrested in December 2008.
"Despite all these alarm bells, JPMorgan never closed or even seriously questioned Madoff's Ponzi-enabling 703 account," said U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara. "On the other hand, when it came to its own money, JPMorgan knew how to connect the dots and take action to protect itself against risk."
Prosecutors called the $1.7 billion the largest forfeiture by a U.S. bank and the largest Department of Justice penalty for a Bank Secrecy Act violation.
The settlement includes a so-called deferred prosecution agreement that requires the bank to acknowledge failures in its protections against money laundering but also allows it to avoid criminal charges. No individual executives were accused of wrongdoing.
The agreement resolves two felony violations of the Bank Secrecy Act in connection with the bank's relationship with Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities, the private investment arm of Madoff's former business.
The Treasury Department's civil penalty was assessed because the bank failed to pass along to U.S. authorities suspicions about Madoff it had reported to Britain's Serious Organised Crime Agency, and because the bank failed to detect and report other cases of suspicious activity, including more than $2 billion in transactions involving the Puerto Rican affiliate of an unidentified Venezuelan bank, authorities said.
Under the agreement, criminal charges will be deferred for two years as JPMorgan admits to its conduct, pays the $1.7 billion a fund established for victims of Madoff's fraud and reforms its anti-money laundering policies, prosecutors said.
A statement of facts included in the agreement describes internal communications at JPMorgan expressing concerns about how Madoff was generating his purported returns. As early as 1998, a JPMorgan fund manager wrote that the returns were "possibly too good to be true" and there were "too many red flags."
In more recent years, executives were disturbed by the fact that Madoff wouldn't let the bank examine his books, according to the statement of facts.
"How much do we have in Madoff at the moment?" a bank analyst wrote in a 2008 email. "To be honest, the more I think about it, the more concerned I am."
In a statement, JPMorgan said it recognized it "could have done a better job pulling together various pieces of information and concerns about Madoff" but didn't believe any of its employees knowingly assisted the scam.
"Madoff's scheme was an unprecedented and widespread fraud that deceived thousands, including us, and caused many people to suffer substantial losses," the statement said.
It said it was making "significant efforts" to strengthen its anti-money-laundering practices and believed "the lessons we have learned will make us a stronger company."
Its shares fell 68 cents to $58.32 in trading Tuesday.
The deal was similar to one reached in late 2012 with the British bank HSBC, which agreed to pay $1.9 billion to settle claims it laundered money for Iran, Libya and Mexico's murderous drug cartels.
Madoff, 75, pleaded guilty and is serving a 150-year prison term.
When his scam unraveled, account statements for thousands of his clients showed $60 billion in assets. In reality, the roughly $17.5 billion in principal they gave him was almost gone.
A court-appointed trustee has recovered more than $9.78 billion — including a portion of the JPMorgan civil payout — to redistribute to clients that invested directly with Madoff. The $1.7 billion criminal forfeiture and will go to a second victims' pool, already with $2.35 billion, that is processing claims from clients of so-called "feeder funds" that also invested heavily with Madoff.
The JPMorgan settlement is the latest in a series of major deals it has made to resolve its legal troubles. In November, the bank agreed to pay $13 billion over risky mortgage securities it sold before the financial crisis - the largest settlement to date between the Justice Department and a corporation.
JPMorgan still has several lawsuits pending against it related to the high-risk mortgage bonds that soured after the housing market collapsed in 2007. There's also an ongoing criminal investigation the U.S. attorney in Sacramento, Calif.
The more than $2 billion that JPMorgan is paying is about 10 percent of the bank's $21.3 billion net income reported for 2012. It already has set aside $23 billion this year to cover settlement and litigation costs — including the $13 billion it agreed to pay in November in a settlement with the Justice Department over its sales of risky mortgage securities before the financial crisis struck.

Integration Builds
Submitting For the Build
Teams should use the "Eclipse Releng Tools" to update their releng project for each build. The releng tools can be installed from the update sites already included in 3.5.
Tags: tags should be of the form v<date>, so v20081120 or v20081120-1300
Versioning Plugins: Teams should try and follow the standard versioning rules posted at Version_Numbering. If you need to copy over an existing eclipse project to make changes, please increment the minor number by 100. i.e. 3.5.0 becomes 3.105.0. When you need to break API, then update the major number. i.e. 3.105.0 becomes 4.0.0
Checking in code: The checkin comment should at a minimum include "bug #", and preferably be of the form "bug # summary"
Build Infrastructure
The main build project is in e4/releng/org.eclipse.e4.builder. We build using the start.sh script on build.eclipse.org.
We run the PDE builder using org.eclipse.e4.builder/builder/general as the ${builder} property, and usually build the org.eclipse.e4.master feature (which includes all the other features, tests, and examples). Have a look at the arguments in the buildE4general launch config.
- sign the build.
- generate a zip with 2 projects, org.eclipse.swt.e4 and org.eclispe.swt.e4.jcl, that can be imported into a workspace in an eclipse with the ActionScript tools installed.
- Work with the Common_Build_Infrastructure to host our builds.
- Teams need to generate source features
The resources, ui, and swt teams now have plugins in their team area in the e4 project. Our project is under :pserver:email@example.com:/cvsroot/eclipse
The resources CVS structure is:
- e4
- org.eclipse.e4.resources
- bundles
- doc
- examples
- features
- tests
- releng
- org.eclipse.e4.resources.releng
- org.eclipse.e4.resources
The org.eclipse.e4.resources.releng contains the map files for building as well as Team Project Sets that should be used for checking out the projects to be worked on.
Resources currently has 4 features. 2 feature patches for the plugins (one for rcp, one for platform), a feature that contains the 2 patches, and a test feature for the tests.
Resources can currently update a 3.5 SDK I build and run.
The UI CVS structure is:
- e4
- org.eclipse.e4.ui
- bundles
- doc
- examples
- features
- tests
- releng
- org.eclipse.e4.ui.releng
- org.eclipse.e4.ui
The org.eclipse.e4.ui.releng contains the map files for building as well as Team Project Sets that should be used for checking out the projects to be worked on.
UI currently has one main feature for the modelled workbench and one feature for the demos. The build master feature, org.eclipse.e4.master, is also in UI for now.
UI currently requires EMF 2.4.1 or 2.5.0 in installed on 3.5 in order to run. They can be installed from the update site included with the I builds.
The SWT CVS structure is:
- e4
- org.eclipse.e4.swt
- bundles
- doc
- examples
- features
- tests
- releng
- org.eclipse.e4.swt.releng
- org.eclipse.e4.swt
The org.eclipse.e4.swt.releng contains the map files for building as well as Team Project Sets that should be used for checking out the projects to be worked on.
SWT has 2 features, one for the ActionScript tools and another for the ActionScript tests.
To update to the ActionScript tools you must first download and install the Open Source Flex SDK.
Setup Flex environment:
- Download and install the Adobe Open Source Flex SDK (available from http://opensource.adobe.com). NOTE: The path where you install the Flex SDK must contain no spaces. This is due to a bug in FCSH.
- update your eclipse.ini file and add another line at the end, -Dflex.sdk=<your path to the installed sdk>
Then you can update to the ActionScript tools. To work on the tools themselves, you must also set the FLEX_SDK classpath variable in Window>Preferences>Java>Build Path>Classpath Variables to point to the sdk location.
To work on org.eclipse.swt, org.eclipse.swt.e4.jcl, org.eclipse.swt.e4.examples, and org.eclipse.swt.examples you need to create a Linked Resource variable, WORKSPACE, that points to your current workspace root, from Window>Preferences>General>Workspace>Linked Resources. Also if .classpath_flex exists it must be copied to the .classpath entry.

The Hunters Wife Elk Roast with Port
Help him pack all his crap and make him some kind of stew to take with him. Wish him luck hunting. Try really hard to hide the smile as he leaves now
Go to the store buy a bottles of red wine and one bottle of decent port wine. Drink the bottle of wine, have popcorn for dinner and watch Beaches or Steel Magnolias. Dont drink the port.
Wake up, take two aspirin, and clean the house. It will actually stay clean for at least three more days while the mighty hunter is gone, Woo-Hoo!
Spend the remaining three days enjoying yourself and dont bother getting dressed.
Ah, welcome the might hunter home. He has just spent enough money that the elk he brought home is about $160 a pound if costs were actually ever added up. It is precious.
Take about a 3lb Elk Roast
Lightly season with salt/pepper and dust with flour.
Lightly cover bottom skillet in olive oil and brown roast well on all sides over med-high heat. Remove to roasting pan.
Lower heat to Medium and in the skillet
Add 2 chopped medium sized onions
3 stalks celery chopped
4 cloves garlic chopped
3 large carrots chopped
Add a bit of salt and pepper. Sauté until tender it takes a little time so
Open the port take a drink you wont need all of it for the recipe.
Pour sautéed veggies over the elk roast.
Add to the skillet
1 ½ cup port
Do not reduce too much
2 cups beef broth and deglaze skillet
Pour over elk roast and veggies
Add to roasting pan
1 tsp. fresh rosemary or ½ tsp dried
2 sprigs fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried
2 whole cloves
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Salt and pepper to taste
Add more beef broth to roasting pan if needed to fill liquid to up to half of roast.
Cover and cook at 375 degrees in the oven for 45 min. Turn down oven to 325 degrees for about another hour.
Send the mighty hunter to the store to bag some merlot or cabernet as the flavor is strong enough to hold up to the bold wine.
While he is gone drink another sip of port.
Take out roast and let it rest a minute. Strain cooking liquid and reduce if needed. I dont usually thicken it but you can with cornstarch and water slurry if you want.
Serve with garlic mashed potatoes, fresh green beans sautéed and just lightly buttered go well with the dish.
Dessert needs to be light after such a rich meal so I would chose a fresh fruit like melon or sherbet ice cream.
Thank the mighty hunter for the fabulous meat to cook with. Stand back his head is likely to swell. Then send him to bed.
Sit on the couch with that little bit of port left in the bottle and smile. Life is pretty good

4 large red peppers (roughly chopped)
1 head of garlic (peeled)
1 onion (roughly chopped)

Seed and roughly chop the red peppers. Peel each head of garlic from the clove. Roughly chop one onion. Place all onto a baking sheet, sprinkle a little bit of salt, a liberal dousing of pepper (to your taste), and pour 3 tablespoons of olive oil onto the vegetables. Mix the vegetables together so that everything gets coated with the oil and seasonings. Place into a preheated 350 degree oven for around 45 minutes. Then blend everything from the baking sheet (including the oil) and add the liquid mixture to get it to the desired consistency.
Serve over a whole-wheat/grain pasta. You may add sundried tomatoes and slices of roasted chicken breast on top to add a bit more to it.

I'll just post my question here. I have a file on my computer of all the SI recipes I have saved. Do you want me to post them? I have the original poster's name for each so they would get the credit for the recipe.
If the answer to the above question is yes, is it one post per recipe or one post per poster with all their recipes in it?

Italian Pie
Preparation time: I hour.
Total Cooking Time: 2 hours
About 8 10 servings.
- 2 packages of cooked ham cut in half
- 1 package frozen chopped spinach (thawed) squeeze all the water out
- 2 packages Swiss cheese slices cut in half
- 3 packages shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 small tub of Ricotta cheese
- 1 jar Marinara sauce Bertolli is one of my favorites.
- Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 clove fresh garlic - Minced
- ½ cup - Thinly sliced fresh mushrooms (optional)
This recipe is for a 13-inch pie pan.
Pre-heat oven to 375. Place a cookie sheet or foil on the bottom rack to catch any drips.
Line pie pan with crust. Spread ¼ of the Marinara sauce on the bottom of the pie crust, start layering with ham, moving onto the Swiss, then spinach, Mozzarella and Ricotta cheese. Season the layer to taste. Once you start with the next layer beginning with the ham, spread another ¼ of the Marinara sauce on top of the ham and then continue with layering.
I usually do 3 layers and on each layer I season to taste with Italian seasoning, fresh Rosemary and fresh Thyme. When youre done layering, put the top crust to your pie on and pinch the edges closed. Brush the entire pie with the Virgin Olive Oil and cut vent holes to let the steam out. Its a good idea to put foil around the edges of the pie.
Bake for about 45 minutes and let it stand for at least 30 minutes before cutting it. This allows all the ingredients to settle and keep the layered look. By the way, its even better heated up the second day.

BOSTON — Tampa Bay goaltender Mike Smith got caught cheating and Bruins defenseman Dennis Seidenberg exacted the punishment on him tonight at TD Garden.
Seidenberg fired a shot from between the red line and blue line near the side wall into an empty net with just 20 seconds left in the first period after Smith left the crease in anticipation of a dump-in along the boards.
It was Seidenberg's first goal of the season.
"I mean, I tried to sell it a little bit," said the blueliner. "I mean, I tried to sell the rim and he went for it obviously. So it wasn't too hard though."
Seidenberg said he had only seen that play work once before — when Carolina's Cory Stillman beat Florida's Tomas Vokoun. The second time was a charm for the Bruins, who went up 2-0 en route to an 8-1 rout. Later in the game, Smith misplayed a puck that resulted in a goal by Shawn Thornton. Bruins head coach Claude Julien was grateful for Seidenberg's trickery.
"I think it was a bigger goal than maybe a lot of people will think for numerous reasons," said the coach. "No. 1, it gave us that two-goal cushion. The other part is, Smith is a really good puck-handler. By scoring that goal catching him cheating, now you're putting doubts in his mind about whether he wants to come out or not. So maybe we took a part of his game away from him. And then that other goal that Thornton scored off a miscue obviously at that point, he probably really lost his concentration and I think we had gotten to him by that time."

Looks like it's going to be a busy day in the lab.
Nessus 2.1.0 has been released.
Here is what Renaud has to say:
[Feel free to pass this message to mailing lists which may be interested by its content - I need plenty of testers for this]
I am proud to announce the immediate availability of Nessus 2.1.0 (experimental)
Nessus 2.1.0 brings a whole new concept of plugins in Nessus - the ability to perform _local_ security checks on remote hosts, over SSH.
To enable this feature, simply give nessusd a valid SSH public and private key, configure an account on the remote host, and perform a regular scan against it. For more details, please read :
I have just commited our first batch of security checks (over 300 plugins) for the following platforms :
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3
- Mac OS X 10.2 and 10.3 (Client and Server)
- FreeBSD
We are looking for volunteers willing to maintain security checks for their favorite Unix systems. Basically, I would like to constitute "teams" of individuals, each team being in charge of providing the checks for one operating system. If you want to lead such a team (and cope with the
responsability) or just write plugins for your system every now and then, please contact me directly.
What we are going to do with the local checks
We intend to use these new checks in two ways :
- To make sure that the remote hosts are up-to-date patch-wise. This means that Nessus will tell you that the remote host is missing a patch for squid, even though squid is not running (and there's a good reason for that: we
consider it as a 'latent' vulnerability) ;
- To reduce the number of false positives against operating systems whose vendors backport their security fixes.
I really want to stress out the fact that we are *not* moving away from remote security checks. We are perfectly aware that in some cases, it's infeasible for the security teams to get an account on every system they are scanning. However we are also aware that it's way more feasible for the security team to ask for a non-root account on a sensitive server than to ask for the installation of a local agent which will give good
To put it simply, the whole reasoning behind simply is that if you _can_ get an
account on the remote hosts, it would be a shame not use it to get a 100% accurate security check.
The heroes of the day
The heroes of the day are :
- Nicolas Pouvesle for having written a full SSH client implementation in NASL
- Tenable Network Security for having written the initial 300 plugins for
local security checks. For those among you who do not know, Tenable is the company I co-founded with Ron Gula which sells enterprise products around
Nessus - http://www.tenablesecurity.com
I would also like to thanks the FreeBSD security team who is doing an awesome job at keeping track of the vulnerabilities in the FreeBSD ports and indexing them on http://www.vuxml.org/freebsd/index-date.html
Before you install Nessus 2.1.0
Please note that the whole Nessus 2.1.x series is considered as being EXPERIMENTAL. Therefore, this means that you may experience lockups, segfaults and other kind of crashes not experienced with Nessus 2.0.x. This is especially true since we have changed the way the internal communication
between the various Nessus processes is being done, and I'm waiting for
feedback on that.
Also, please note that installing Nessus 2.1.0 do _not_ require any additional dependencies - not even ssh, since we have our own implementation in NASL.
However, I do not expect the 2.1.x cycle to last long. I'm aiming at releasing Nessus 2.2.0 (or 3.0 in early september. So maybe 2.1.0 is stable already - test it please !
The two other major changes in Nessus 2.1.0 are :
- Re-written the internal KB API to use hash tables (instead of the slow linked lists) and arbitrarily-sized KB items (there was a hard limit set to 65k) ;
- Re-written the whole internal communication between the nessusd processes. The new API is lighter on CPU and system calls, and may be a first step to re-write the client-server communication protocol entirely ;
I also re-wrote some internal routines which had to do with how the plugins dependencies are computed and run, which should also result in a
lighter CPU load.
Also, Nessus 2.1 (finally) supports GTK+ 2.2. This fix has been backported to Nessus 2.0.12 which will be made available this week as well.
If you are a user of the Lightning Console, version 2.5.3 will be shortly made available (within a day or two) and will support the new SSH-specific options in Nessus 2.1.
Nessus 2.1.0 is available immediately :
I really need a lot of testers for this - please try to install this version and report your failures (and successes) !
For those who are cowardly waiting for Nessus 2.1.x to stabilize,
Nessus 2.0.12 will be made available later on this week. I'm bumping the revision number from 2.0.10 directly to 2.0.12 because there was a 2.0.11 for a long time in CVS. Nessus 2.0.12 does NOT contain the SSH checks, it will only contain minor bug fixes.
Comments ? Questions ?
I'm interested in your comments and questions about this feature. Please send them to the Nessus mailing list (email@example.com). Implementation details should be discussed on email@example.com and plugins ideas submitted to firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also mail me
directly if you prefer.
If you experience bugs, please fill a bug report at http://bugs.nessus.org/. I'm sorry for the mandatory account creation, but we need it to be able to stay in touch with bug reporters. If you are a privacy advocate, feel free to send me your bugs directly, but don't be surprised if I drop the ball at some point.

NEW YORK (AP) — ABC had its best week in the ratings since mid-June last week, and broadcast TV's most female-friendly network largely has southern football fans to thank.
The game between Georgia and Clemson was the most-watched season opener since 2006 for ABC, which usually devotes its Saturday nights in the fall to college football. The 8.1 million viewers put the game within Nielsen's 10 most-watched programs for the week, and lifted ABC to a second-place finish behind CBS in the weekly ratings.
CBS' summertime hit, "Under the Dome," was the most popular program during a quiet week in television, the only program to get more than 10 million viewers.

ESPN was the week's most-watched cable network, averaging 2.5 million viewers in prime time. USA had 2.4 million, Disney had 2.1 million, A&E had 2 million and TNT had 1.9 million.
With Brian Williams returning to work this week following knee surgery, NBC's "Nightly News" survived a challenge to its supremacy and won in the evening news ratings for the 207th consecutive week. "Nightly News" averaged 7.6 million for the last week with Lester Holt as a sub, ABC's "World News" had 7.1 million and the "CBS Evening News" had 6.3 million.
For the week of Aug. 26-Sept. 1, the top 10 shows, their networks and viewerships: "Under the Dome," CBS, 11.12 million; "America's Got Talent" (Wednesday, 9 p.m.), NBC, 9.85 million; "America's Got Talent" (Tuesday), NBC, 8.7 million; "NCIS," CBS, 8.47 million; "60 Minutes," CBS, 8.36 million; College Football: Georgia vs. Clemson, ABC, 8.14 million; "Unforgettable," CBS, 6.94 million; "Big Brother 15" (Wednesday), CBS, 6.36 million; "Master Chef" (Wednesday, 9 p.m.), Fox, 6.33 million; "Duck Dynasty," A&E, 6.3 million.

Older News » Staying on at schoolLast updated 10:55 AM on 15 September 2011
A new age dawns in school education next year when the leaving age changes so that all students in NSW complete Year 10.
Public schools are now preparing for the extra students, teachers, classrooms and computers that will flow from what the Premier, Nathan Rees, has described as one of the most fundamental changes in education in 60 years.
"By increasing the school leaving age [from 15 to 17 years] we are creating a flexible, skilled and educated workforce," he said.
Australian and international research shows that teenagers who leave school early are two and a half times more likely to be unemployed, earn lower wages and have poorer health.
From January 2010, all NSW students have to finish Year 10 and then continue in education and training, be in full-time work (an average of 25 hours a week), or a combination of education/training and employment until the age of 17.
Check out the Department of Education and Training's website The New School Leaving Age - a guide for parents to watch a vodcast and access information, including options for study and training, useful resources and frequently asked questions.

Pre-game preview: South Florida
With a big game coming up against No. 20 Memphis Saturday, UConn might be tempted to look past South Florida tonight.
The 24th-ranked Huskies can't afford to let that happen, according to coach Kevin Ollie.
"We can't look ahead," Ollie said. "We're not that good to look ahead. We don't have all all-stars on this team. We've got to play together and we've got to take every day and try to get better. That's the only thing I want these guys to do.
"What matters the most for us is being prepared and playing the right way. And everything else will take care of itself. We're not the team that can look ahead, because our margin of error is not that big. We learned that when we played Houston and SMU."
UConn opened the AAC season with consecutive road losses to Houston and SMU.
Here's a pre-game preview of tonight's game against the struggling Bulls at the XL Center in Hartford:
-- Tip-off time: 7 p.m. (ESPN2)
-- Records: South Florida 12-12, 3-8; UConn 18-5, 6-4
-- Last game: South Florida lost to Rutgers, 79-69, Saturday; UConn won at Central Florida, 75-55, Sunday
-- Probable starters:
UConn, 6-1 sr. guard Shabazz Napier (17.7 pts, 5.6 assists, 5.9 rebs), 6-0 jr. guard Ryan Boatright (12.2 pts, 3.5 assists), 6-8 jr. forward DeAndre Daniels (13.5 pts, 5.6 rebs), 6-6 grad. forward Lasan Kromah (7.7 pts, 2.9 rebs), 7-foot fr. center Amida Brimah (4.0 pts, 3.0 rebs, 2.6 blks)
South Florida, 6-1 jr. guard Corey Allen Jr. (10.3 pts, 3.0 assists), 6-3 jr. guard Shemiye McLendon (2.8 pts), 6-7 so. forward Zach LeDay (3.3 pts), 6-9 sr. forward Victor Rudd (15.0 pts, 6.8 rebs), 6-10 fr. center John Egbunu (7.5 pts, 6.5 rebs)
-- The Huskies (18-5, 6-4) have won seven of their last nine games and reside in fifth place in the AAC.
The Bulls (12-12, 3-8) have lost six of their last eight and sit in eighth place.
-- The two teams play twice in last eight regular season games. The rematch is Feb. 26 inTampa,Fla.
-- UConn leads the series, 10-2, losing last meeting 65-51 last March in the Sun Dome. Napier sat out that game with an injury.
Two of the last four games have been decided in overtime and both won by the Huskies.
-- Junior Ryan Boatright said Tuesday that his left shoulder has been bothering him since last fall. He was hit in the same area during Thursday's game at Cincinnati.
"It's been messed up since preseason in the weight room," Boatright said. "I continue to play on it and continue to tweak it and jack it up even more. TheCincinnati game, it definitely messed it up. I caught a knee in the back of it and it was hurting pretty bad."
Boatright refuses to use his shoulder injury as an excuse for his shooting funk. He's converted just 36.6 percent from the field in the last four games. He's 6-for-18 in the last two games.
-- In other injury news: UConn reserve Omar Calhoun suffered a concussion in Sunday's win at Central Floridaand sat out practice on Tuesday. He won't play tonight and didn't make the trip to the XL Center.
"He got popped in the head pretty good…," Ollie said. "His symptoms are much better now than they were yesterday, so hopefully he keeps getting better and we can get him out there as soon as possible."
Junior DeAndre Daniels is expected to play tonight. He's been dealing with a high right ankle sprain and back spasms. After missing two games, he had 16 points and seven rebounds against Central Florida.
"My back is a little bit stiff," Daniels said. "Other than that, I'm fine."
-- UConn's game plan tonight is to protect the paint, according to Daniels. The player to watch in the interior is 6-foot-10, 245-pound freshman center John Egbunu.
Egbunu averages four dunks a game. Freshman Chris Perry, a 6-8, 266-pound forward, is another inside threat.
"They score in the paint," Ollie said. "We've got to protect our yard. ... They throw it down there and get those guys involved. ... We've got to make sure they see a lot of UConn jerseys in front of them."
The Bulls also haven't shot the ball well from the perimeter, ranking last in the conference in 3-point shooting at 25.4 percent.
-- The Huskies have yet to lose a game when out-rebounding an opponent, going 12-0. But they're 2-4 when shooting under 40 percent.
-- Daniels on playing South Florida: "We've got to take care of games like these to put ourselves in a good position."
-- The AAC has five teams ranked in the Associated Press top 25 for the first time. That doesn't surprise Ollie who raved about the league back in October during the conference's media day inMemphis.
"I thought a lot of teams were going to be good…," Ollie said. "We've got five teams in the top 25 and those teams that are out of the top 25 are good, too. If you underestimate them, they can beat you on any given night. You've got to respect that."

Your browser sends these cookies back to the website every time you visit the site again, so it can recognise you and can then tailor what you see on the screen. You can find out more about cookies atwww.allaboutcookies.org
What do you use cookies for?
Cookies are an important part of the internet. They make using websites much smoother and affect lots of the useful features of websites. There are many different uses for cookies, but they fall into four main groups. Cookies that are needed to provide the service you have asked for. Some cookies are essential so you can move around the website and use its features. Without these cookies, services you'd like to use can't be provided, like viewing video for example. These cookies don't gather information about you that could be used for marketing or remembering where you've been on the internet.
Improving your browsing experience
These cookies allow the website to remember choices you make, such as your language or region and they provide improved features. Here are a few examples of just some of the ways that cookies are used to improve your experience on our websites:
- Remembering your preferences and settings, including marketing preferences;
- Remembering if you've filled in a survey, so you're not asked to do it again;
- Remembering if you've been to the site before. If you are a first-time user, you might see different content to a regular user;
- Restricting the number of times you're shown a particular advertisement. This is sometimes called 'frequency capping';
- Enabling social media components, like Facebook or Twitter;
- Showing 'related article' links that are relevant to the page you're looking at.
We like to keep track of which pages and links are popular and which ones don't get used as much to help us keep our sites relevant and up to date. It's also very useful to be able to identify trends of how people navigate (find their way through) our sites and if they get 'error messages' from web pages. This information helps us to make our sites as user friendly as we can. This group of cookies, often called 'analytics cookies' are used to gather this information. These cookies don't collect information that identifies you. The information collected is anonymous and is grouped with the information from everyone else's cookies. We can then see the overall patterns of usage rather than any one person's activity. Analytics cookies only record activity on the site you are on and they are only used to improve how a website works. Some of our websites and some of the emails you might get from us also contain small invisible images known as 'web beacons' or 'tracking pixels'. These are used to count the number of times the page or email has been viewed and allows us to measure the effectiveness of our marketing and emails. These web beacons are anonymous and don't contain or collect any information that identifies you. We also use 'affiliate' cookies. Some of our web pages will contain promotional links to other companies' sites. If you follow one of these links and then register with or buy something from that other site, a cookie is sometimes used to tell that other site that you came from one of our sites. That other site may then pay us a small amount for the successful referral. This works using a cookie.
Showing advertising that is relevant to your interests
We sell space on some of our sites to advertisers. The resulting adverts often contain cookies. The advertiser uses the browsing information collected from these cookies to:
- Restrict the number of times you see the same ad (frequency capping);
- Help show other ads that are relevant to you while you're on our websites.
This is often called online behavioural advertising (OBA). OBA is a way of using information about your web-browsing activity, collected by using cookies, to group you with other users into interest groups and show you advertisements based on those interests. The OBA data collected from cookies you get when you're on our sites is only used to show relevant ads on our sites, not on other websites. So how does OBA work? Let's look at an example. Imagine you visit a website about travel. That website shows an advert and with that advert you receive a cookie. Imagine you then visit one of our websites which has an advert from the same advertiser you saw on the travel site. The advertiser will give you a new version of the cookie you received on the travel site. The advertiser can then use that cookie to recognise that you've previously been to a travel site and show you a relevant ad. Although the OBA data collected uses your browsing activity to understand your interests, the data is anonymous and isn't linked to you as a person. You can find out more about OBA and cookies at www.youronlinechoices.com

Probably about 1 in 10
people has a PD, but many will not be severe.
Personality disorders tend
to fall into three groups according to the aspect of personality
which seems to cause the main problems:
Borderline, or Emotionally
Obsessive-Compulsive (aka
Avoidant or Anxious
Psychologists and psychiatrists can help. You
can learn to control aspects of your emotions and behaviour which
cause these problems.
Our personalities tend to stay constant over a long period of
time, so the treatment will often be long-term.
The main treatments for Personality Disorder are based
on talking therapies, behavioural therapies and regular
contact with support services. For most people treatment is most
effective a community setting. Drug treatments can also help
in a small number of people.
It has been difficult to study the benefits of medications in
Personality Disorder, which means evidence for their effects is
limited. Medication may be used to manage distressing and severe
symptoms in some people, usually in the short-term. They are also
used to treat other mental disorders, such as depression which
people with Personality Disorders may also suffer with at times.
Most drug trials are based on Borderline Personality Disorder.
drugs can help if people feel paranoid, or are hearing
noises and voices.
Antidepressants can help
treat depressive and anxiety disorders in people with Personality
Disorders. There is some evidence to suggest they may also help
with reducing aggressive, impulsive and self-harming
stabilisers such as lithium, carbamazepine and sodium
valproate may also reduce impulsiveness and aggression in some
The evidence is weak because treatments are usually quite
complicated, so it is hard to know what part actually worked. The
studies are also usually small and rather too short, and the ways
of measuring improvement are poor. However, there is growing and
encouraging evidence to show that symptoms of Borderline
Personality Disorder can improve and even resolve over time.
This depends on what approach and setting you prefer, as well as
the type of problem that you have. However, a lot depends on what
is available in your area. The choice of treatment should be
discussed with your psychiatrist or care co-ordinator.
There are lots of things you can do to help you manage and
reduce your difficulties. Some of these things may sound obvious,
but they can make a big difference. For example:
exercise. Although this can be difficult to do in
stressful times, it can be a very good stress-reliever. Any
sort of exercise can help, such as a brisk walk for 30 minutes a
day - whatever you feel most comfortable with.
Reduce alcohol
use. When we're feeling low or stressed, alcohol can
provide some temporary relief. However, more often it makes us feel
even more stressed and angry. Avoid alcohol in stressful times and
this can greatly reduce the chance of you coming to any harm (from
other people and from yourself).
Regulate your
sleep. Irregular or lack of sleep can leave us
feeling tired which makes most people vulnerable to becoming
more irritable and stressed. Regular sleep can make us better
prepared to face challenges which life can throw at us.
Some people think it can be helpful to let
those around you know about you mental health problems, whether
they are family, friends or colleagues at work. This may help
people know what things can help you, especially during times of
It is not easy to be open with people about
these issues. It may help to discuss this with your doctors or
mental health team to decide if this is the right approach for
It can be difficult to understand why someone
might be behaving in a certain way. Their behaviour may be
difficult and even dangerous. It is important to try to understand
things from their perspective, however difficult that may be at
times. If you are concerned about someone with a Personality
Disorder, it may be useful to encourage them to adopt some of
the simple, 'healthy-living' measures outlined above. You may also
find it helpful to get advice from your local doctor.

General cognitive assignments:
Avoid unnecessary movements during all phases
Optimum alterations of action and relaxation of muscles during stroke and recovery actions
Increase propulsive forces by strokes and kicks
Decrease resistance to the body all times
Ensure rigid transfer of power from strokes and kicks to the body through locked joints with correct timing
Realise aims of movements in each phase but also prepare for the movements in following phase
Co-ordinate good breathing actions with movements as follows:
Inhale during first part of arm recovery when pulling with other arm
Hold the breath - during arm entry and pull when recovering other arm
Exhale - during push when other arm enters
Next Inhale - as before
ARMSTROKE PERIOD (Left or Right)
AIM of movements Try to increase forward speed !
Forward movement during stroke: 1.1 - 1.45 (m)
(This parameter indicates how effective is swimmers stroke. It must be half from full cycle stroke length)
Relative stroke speed of hand backward: (-0.6) - (-0.1) (m/sec)
(If arm stroke is effective and rational, then hands horizontal speed component backward during stroking, related to water, must be slow to create high body speed forward)
Cognitive assignments:
Make stroke soft at the beginning with acceleration at the end, with good water feeling and low relative hand speed , sticking to water
Make recovery also with acceleration, opposite to the stroking arm, through fixed shoulderline (kayaking principle)
Keep the body position flat and high
Make 1-3 leg kicks during one arm stroke period
Move forward during stroke as much as possible
Combine inhaling with recovery and pulling actions of arm, exhaling with arm pushing action
AIM of movements Try to maintain forward speed !
Forward speed during arm pull & recovery: 1.7-2.1 (m/sec)
(This parameter shows efficiency of first part of stroke- pulling. It must be usually slightly slower then speed of the next phase- pushing)
Hands pulling slip forward -backward 0,50 - 0.10 (m)
(This parameter indicate economical side of that arms pull and quality of feeling of water during first part of stroke. Then more positive then better, not negative slip backward)
Requirements for self control:
The position of shoulder at the beginning of the pull must be relatively high
The timing of catch action must be simultaneously with opposite side leg kick
The action of arm at the beginning of pull must be with good catch forward , with high elbow position
The action of leg kick during the pull must be relatively soft kick or cross-over actions,
Hand slip during pull must be positive, gliding forward, let body move on your pull, stretching elbow forward
Position of arm at the middle of stroke must be vertical, elbow and hand on shoulder line, with enough flexion from elbow joint.
AIM of movements Try to reach maximum forward speed !
Forward speed during arm push & another recovery : 1.8 - 2.3 (m/sec)
(This parameter shows efficiency of second part of stroke- pushing. It must be usually slightly higher then speed of the previous phase- pulling)
Hands pushing slip backward (-0.30) - (-0.45) (m)
(If hand is slipping too much backward, then it means that arm is working relatively alone, breaking water with high power, not economical)
Requirements for self control:
The pushing action of arms must be with good acceleration, with correct force transfer and wrist cocked
The timing of recovering arm entry must be at the middle of the stroke
The leg kick during push must be impulsive, strong and co-ordinated with arm push impulse
The exit of arm must begin with elbow first , but not too early, after push is over
Avoid hand slip through the water, try to stick it to the water
Make recovery arm relaxed elbow forward before hand

Some folks, who don't know better, might assume that modern day farm families live idyllic lives in the tranquil serenity of bucolic settings, close to nature and free of the daily stresses that afflict urbanites who sally forth each day to battle traffic, deadlines and unappreciative supervisors.
Perhaps on some planet, but not this one.
"Farming is stressful," says Val Farmer, a clinical psychologist who specializes in family and rural mental health issues and a seminar speaker at the recent Commodity Classic in Austin, Texas. The Commodity Classic is the annual joint meeting of the American Soybean and The National Corn Growers Associations.
Farmer says the sometimes harsh nature of farming - dealing with weather, pests and prices - combines with the complexity of running a family business to create an ideal environment for stress.
"(We are concerned with) the pressures of farming and the interaction on families and marriages. Relationships, even good ones, get complicated."
He speaks of a Pierce County (Nebraska) Syndrome, in which an older farmer continues to manage and make all decisions on the family operation with a son and grandson waiting in the wings to take over. Such situations occur across the United States, Farmer says, "and create havoc. The son and his wife are unhappy."
In similar situations offspring may leave or choose to live a relatively unhappy and unproductive existence on the farm, just waiting.
But he also sees positives in agriculture and in family farms where an orderly transition of the legacy passes from one generation to another. "A multi-family operation provides the key to success in agriculture," he says. "Intergenerational cooperation becomes crucial as farms increase in scale and size."
But success doesn't come without planning, he says. He offers a seven-step template for successful family farms. Steps include:
Number one: The legacy of innovation, leadership and success passes from one generation to the next. Farm families must recognize an operation's strengths, Farmer says. "The leadership qualities that assure success must be carried on. Families must recognize what keeps profit going."
He says a lot of leadership and management styles developed during the Depression, when farmers had to devise innovative projects to keep their farms. "Many found that such skills as timeliness, equipment maintenance and debt management kept them solvent. But something happened to allow those ideas to continue on to the next generation and that generation built on it."
He says adapting technology, being ahead of the curve, and taking risks without jeopardizing the base of operations keep farms on the cutting edge and poised for success.
Profit becomes paramount. "Without it, the lifestyle goes by the wayside. Debt creates stress on the family relationship and it's hard for any family to dig out of debt."
He says sons and daughters of successful full-time farmers tend to stay on or come back to the farm and continue the success. And the children's ability to manage stress plays a crucial role in future success. "Some are not good at it and may not be good at farming.
"Also, the legacy of positive human relationships is important. Transferring those abilities from one generation to another is key to continued success. Some farmers get so caught up in their own egos and their need always to be right that they drive their children away."
Number two: A strong marital partnership creates an environment for success.
"Farming is a business and must be considered a business," Farmer says, "but the family must be satisfied with the business and the motivation remains the lifestyle.
"A husband and wife form a farm partnership with shared goals and bonds. Each must have an emotional tie to the farm. And the farmer needs to be aware of his wife's interests."
He says a farm couple should live a balanced life with interests other than the farm. "Life is about more than getting the work done. It's important to set priorities. The goal should be the happiness and well-being of those on the farm."
Number three: Raising loving, capable, dynamic children who may or may not join the farm, supports continuity of the operation. Farmer says the key to having children come back to run the farm is that they have good memories of growing up in a rural setting.
"A good relationship between a father and his children is critical. A farmer/parent must be patient and allow children to grow into greater responsibility. There is a unique opportunity for fathers and sons or daughters to bond and share in the work day."
Farmer said not everyone appreciates the rural lifestyle. And some who do may be turned off by a parent who is "critical, stressed out and demanding. Coming back to that may not be appealing."
Farmer suggests that farm parents send their children away to "get an education, gain confidence and learn how to handle stress. Have them work for someone else. The experience will be helpful, and then, if they do come back it's because they want to."
Number four: Managing human resources, including family and hired employees, is a skill essential to a well-managed farm.
Farmer said managers have to learn how to correct employees, including their own children, when they get out of line but in a way that does not place blame or leave bad feelings.
"Recognition and praise are the biggest assets on a job, next to money," he said. "Play to an employee's strengths and concentrate on areas of responsibility."
He said children and other employees should develop specialties and grow into specific roles as they develop management skills.
"Also, hiring the right people is an art. Dealing with dishonesty, laziness, self-centeredness and bad temper," adds to stress. He said addictions and rigidity also pose serious problems.
Number five: Sharing management responsibilities and communicating effectively create a more pleasant and efficient work environment.
"The best management style is a democratic process," Farmer says. "A good manager strives for consensus decisions and shares decision-making chores."
He says trust and respect come from good communication. "Make a family business meeting an integral part of the operation. It's a good place to bring out conflicts in a business setting. Process and solve problems in the meeting and don't carry them over into family time," he says. "In some ways, it's important to take the family out of the business."
Number six: A commitment to continuity includes grooming children to take over the business. Farmer says children should specialize but also "see the big picture so they can grow into managing the farm."
He says transition works best when parents move away from management as children master necessary skills to run the farm. Letting go may not be easy but if parents have always had hobbies and interests off the farm, the separation goes more smoothly.
Estate planning plays a crucial role, too. "The plan must be open and transparent and stress what's fair, not what seems to be equal. For example, a child who has stayed on the farm and worked in every day management should be allowed to remain in charge instead of dividing the farm among siblings who moved away and pursued other interests.
"Without an estate plan, everyone gets short-changed," Farmer says. "We can't predict when life will end."
He says loss of a spouse and a remarriage also poses serious problems with continuity. He recommends a pre-nuptial agreement that assures the farm operation remains in the hands of offspring who run the farm and not to the new spouse's estate.
Number seven: Getting along as a family, including accepting the roles of siblings and in-laws, requires compromises. "A family farm must accommodate individual needs. Each family unit is different and each couple comprises a team and each spouse must be loyal to the other."

2012 Oscars: Ryan Seacrest Suffers a Wardrobe Malfunction on Red Carpet
Ryan Seacrest fell victim to Sacha Baron Cohen's dictator at the 2012 Oscars. Thanks to Baron Cohen's character — and Kim Jong Il — Seacrest had to change his outfit. Let us explain.
Baron Cohen, who was initially banned from the red carpet because the Academy feared something like this would happen, was in full regalia as his character from his upcoming film, 'The Dictator.' Poor Seacrest was on hand to ask who Baron Cohen (as "Admiral Aladeen") was wearing. "John Galliano, but the socks are from K-Mart," he deadpanned. "Saddam Hussein once said to me, 'Socks are socks. Don't waste money.'"
Seacrest asked how Aladeen felt about being at the Oscars. "It gave me an opportunity my dear friend and doubles tennis partner, Kim Jong-Il — it was his dream to come to the Oscars and to be sprinkled over the red carpet and over Halle Berry's chest again." Then, Baron Cohen as Aladeen spilled his ashes all over poor Seacrest's tux!
What did the host with the most have to say about the incident? "I had a feeling something was coming. I didn't know in what fashion or form."

Pacific communities better able to save reef fisheries with new information sheets
(PRESS RELEASE)—Sea cucumbers, lobsters and other fish species are in danger of disappearing from Pacific island fisheries unless they are protected by villagers and local fishermen through measures recommended by a new series of information sheets.Actions such as reducing or stopping the use of SCUBA to fish for such species are some of the measures recommended in 16 information sheets, especially targeted at Pacific Communities, and being launched today in Suva, Fiji.
The sheets, developed by scientists and managers from the Secretariat of the Pacific Community (SPC) and the Locally-Managed Marine Area (LMMA) Network, are in response to the urgent need to protect the region's coastal fisheries in the face of projected climate change impacts and increasing population growth.The Pacific population is predicted to increase by 50 per cent by 2030 and already many reef systems are struggling from intense fishing pressure.
SPC research indicates that tropical Pacific reef fish populations could decline by up to 20 per cent by 2050 and up to 50 per cent by 2100. Climate change will affect fish population distribution and numbers as rising sea temperatures reduces the food available to reef fish and changes the timing and success of fish reproduction.
Most coastal communities in the Pacific rely on reef fisheries for food, and fewer fish in their catches will increase the gap between available fish and the protein needed for their food security.The average annual consumption of fish per person (including shellfish) by coastal Pacific populations ranges from 30–118 kilograms in Melanesia, 62–115 kilograms in Micronesia, and 50–146 kilograms in Polynesia. This is significantly more than the annual consumption globally of just 17 kilograms per person."It's good to have something ready for our next generation. I see that there's plenty of fish, but we know that it takes many years for the growth of the coral and for fishes to give birth," says Kini Ravonoloa, Votua Village Chief and FLMMA representative for Koroleviwai.
"My advice is that we should keep a place protected for the fishes and other organisms that they live in the sea to have more time to reproduce."
Management programs already in place in Fiji have proven successful, as Pio Radikedike, site manager for Veratavou, Viti Levu in Fiji reports.
"We have increased the number of MPAs [closed areas] in our village because the communities, the chiefs, have seen the benefits from what we have been doing. Now we have three – two on the mudflats near my village for the clams and other small species, and one on the reefs for fish and sea cucumbers, not only for my village, but for the benefit of the whole district."`
Dr Hugh Govan, advisor for the LMMA Network, says the combination of local community knowledge and scientific research is invaluable.
"Communities in the Pacific are well placed to manage their own fisheries as they still usually have traditional and local knowledge of their areas and resources. In fact over 400 communities are known to be managing their inshore areas in the Pacific," he says.
"However, communities gain much from access to scientific information on aspects of biology and ecology or experiences of communities elsewhere to help improve their management practices in the face of emerging modern challenges."
The information sheets will be distributed to communities across the Pacific. Funding for the printing and distribution of the information sheets was provided by the European Union-funded SciCOFish (scientific support for the management of coastal and oceanic fisheries in the Pacific Islands region) project
"What is unique about these sheets is that, together, the SPC and LMMA Network are trying to get a consistent message to all Pacific communities in terms of resource management," says Ian Bertram, Coastal Fisheries Science and Management Adviser for the SPC.

LEGO City Undercover released today in North America. The open world game launched in digital form via the Nintendo eShop on Wii U and in physical form via retailers. The digital version of the game was initially priced at $59.99, leading consumers to wonder why it was priced higher than the physical version, which retails for $49.99 USD. Fortunately, the price of the digital version has since been fixed to $49.99. If you downloaded the game while it was priced at $59.99, contact Nintendo's customer service to refund your $10.
Physical retail copies have always been priced at $50.
It's almost 20GB too. I'll go with the physical retail copy when the time comes.
because it was very inexpensive to develop & would be a complete rip off for anything higher.. I still think $50 is too much for that game..
Too bad 98% of wii u games are for kids,another reason me and most of the world wont get the Fail-U lol.

Zipper monad/TravelTree
From HaskellWiki
< Zipper monad
Revision as of 03:52, 8 October 2006 by DonStewart (Talk | contribs)
is a library based on the Zipper monad which is used for traversing binary trees. Read the documentation for the Zipper monad if you haven't already.
1 Definition
We go with the standard definition of a labelless binary tree.
data Tree a = Leaf a | Branch (Tree a) (Tree a) deriving (Show, Eq) data Cxt a = Top | L (Cxt a) (Tree a) | R (Tree a) (Cxt a) deriving (Show) type TreeLoc a = Loc (Cxt a) (Tree a) type TravelTree a = Travel (TreeLoc a) (Tree a)
is for storing the context of an element, and
for precisely defining the position of an element within a tree, at the same time as defining the tree itself. See Zipper for an explanation of that idiom.
2 Functions
2.1 Moving aroundThere are five main functions for stringing together
left, -- moves down a level, through the left branch right, -- moves down a level, through the right branch swap, -- moves from a left branch to a right branch, or vice versa up, -- moves to the node's parent top -- moves to the top node :: TravelTree a
All five return the subtree at the new location.
2.2 MutationThe three mutation functions defined by the generic Zipper monad (
) are of course available, but there are no
-specific mutation functions.
2.3 Node classification
There are four functions you can call to find out what kind of node a given location points to:
Note that these functions are not monadic but instead take a
isTop, -- is the location the top node? isChild, -- is the location the child of some other node (i.e. not the top)? isLeft, -- is the location a left branch? isRight -- is the location a right branch? :: TreeLoc a -> Bool
. The
pointing to the current node is stored as the state in a
computation. Thus to call these functions within a
block, use
do top <- liftM isTop get when top $ right >> return ()
3 Examples
The following examples use as the example tree:
t = Branch (Branch (Branch (Leaf 1) (Leaf 2)) (Leaf 3)) (Branch (Leaf 4) (Leaf 5))
3.1 A simple path
This is a very simple example showing how to use the movement functions:
leftLeftRight :: TravelTree a leftLeftRight = do left left right
Result of evaluation:
*Tree> (getTop t) `traverse` leftLeftRight Leaf 2
3.2 Tree reverserThis is a more in-depth example showing
, but is still rather contrived as it's easily done without the zipper (the zipper-less version is shown below).
The algorithm reverses the tree, in the sense that at every branch, the two subtrees are swapped over.
revTree :: Tree a -> Tree a revTree t = (getTop t) `traverse` revTree' where revTree' :: TravelTree a revTree' = do t <- getTree case t of Branch _ _ -> do left l' <- revTree' swap r' <- revTree' up putTree $ Branch r' l' Leaf x -> return $ Leaf x -- without using the zipper: revTreeZipless :: Tree a -> Tree a revTreeZipless (Leaf x) = Leaf x revTreeZipless (Branch xs ys) = Branch (revTreeZipless ys) (revTreeZipless xs)
Result of evaluation:
*Tree> revTree $ Branch (Leaf 1) (Branch (Branch (Leaf 2) (Leaf 3)) (Leaf 4)) Branch (Branch (Leaf 4) (Branch (Leaf 3) (Leaf 2))) (Leaf 1)
3.2.1 Generalisation
Einar Karttunen (musasabi) suggested generalising this to a recursive tree mapper:
treeMap :: (a -> Tree a) -- what to put at leaves -> (Tree a -> Tree a -> Tree a) -- what to put at branches -> (Tree a -> Tree a) -- combinator function treeMap leaf branch = \t -> (getTop t) `traverse` treeMap' where treeMap' = do t <- getTree case t of Branch _ _ -> do left l' <- treeMap' swap r' <- treeMap' up putTree $ branch l' r' Leaf x -> return $ leaf x
is then easy:
It turns out this is a fairly powerful combinator. As with
revTreeZipper :: Tree a -> Tree a revTreeZipper = treeMap Leaf (flip Branch)
, it can change the structure of a tree. Here's another example which turns a tree into one where siblings are sorted, i.e. given a
, if
Branch l r
are leaves, then the value of
is less than or equal to that of
. Also, if one of
is a
and the other a
, then
is the
sortSiblings :: Ord a => Tree a -> Tree a sortSiblings = treeMap Leaf minLeaves where minLeaves l@(Branch _ _) r@(Leaf _ ) = Branch r l minLeaves l@(Leaf _) r@(Branch _ _ ) = Branch l r minLeaves l@(Branch _ _) r@(Branch _ _ ) = Branch l r minLeaves l@(Leaf x) r@(Leaf y ) = Branch (Leaf $ min x y) (Leaf $ max x y)
Result of evaluation:
*Tree> sortSiblings t Branch (Branch (Leaf 3) (Branch (Leaf 1) (Leaf 2))) (Branch (Leaf 4) (Leaf 5))
4 Code
The code for the TravelTree library is quite length, so you can just download it. Alternatively, you could download the entire zipper library.

About Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt
A pioneer of kitsch and often considered as a precursor to Jeff Koons, Thomas Lanigan-Schmidt began creating mixed-media collages and sculptures in the 1960s, incorporating reflective materials such as tinsel, colored foils, Mylar, staples, and cellophane to flamboyant effect. Drawings on religious iconography, gilded and bejeweled rodents, and brightly adorned lasagna pans are but a few examples of work that placed him in the coterie of the 1970s "Pattern and Decoration" artists. His best-known work reflects the vibrancy and rawness the East Village scene—in the context of the AIDS crisis, survival and remembrance are recurring themes in Lanigan-Schmidt's art (and life), and in 2009, the White House honored his commitment to gay rights.

TOYING AROUND: The Post Thanksgiving Post
Hopefully all you collectible fans had a hearty Thanksgiving and survived whatever amount of Black Friday shopping madness you decided to subject yourself to. Instead of braving the crowds and elements for deals, we here at TOYING AROUND combed the internet for new action figure, statue and prop replica announcements so you'll know what you want to duke it out for next year. It was a bit of a slow week with the holiday, but that didn't stop Weta, Underground Toys, Funko, Sideshow and more from showing off their upcoming "Hobbit," "Doctor Who," "Game of Thrones" and Marvel products.
CBR's Black Friday Holiday Gift Guide
THE HOBBIT | With "The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug" getting closer and closer to its Dec. 13th release date expect to not only see a barrage of advertising, but also a good deal of toy and statue offerings. The collectible arm of Weta, the special effects house that handles all the Middle Earth movies, has a pair of new statues in the works. The 1:6 scale Tauriel piece stands nearly a foot tall and will ship next month. Meanwhile, Radagast the Brown — Gandalf's fellow wizard with an affection for animals — has an 11.8-inch statue in the works for February of next year.
DOCTOR WHO | To celebrate the 50th anniversary of "Doctor Who," Underground Toys developed a series of Doctor and Dalek 2-packs spanning all five decades. Each Time Lord comes with an adversary he faced during his time on the legendary series. Meanwhile, if you find yourself overly bummed out about Matt Smith's impending departure from the series, Underground has a pair of stress relievers that look like the TARDIS and a Weeping Angel. Finally, the Adipose Science Putty pack allows you to build anything you want with these puffy aliens which will hold shape for a while before returning to their marshmallow like forms ready for more play.
GAME OF THRONES | Dark Horse Deluxe unveiled the next piece in their "Game of Thrones" statue line. The company teamed up with Gentle Giant to create an 11-inch statue of Arya Stark as portrayed by Maisie Williams in the HBO Series. She stands at the ready with her trust sword Needle on a lead-covered base. Arya ships on June 18.
GAME OF THRONES | While on the subject of everyone's favorite pay cable fantasy series, Funko debuted a new series of Pop Vinyl figures based on George R.R. Martin's creation. The third wave includes Brienne of Tarth, Joffrey Baratheon, Hodor, Dragon, Tywin Lannister, Ygritte, Ghost and Tyrion Lannister in Battle Armor all of which will debut on Jan. 14. Meanwhile, Daenerys Targaryen will join her pals a month later on Feb. 18.
THE AVENGERS | Just when you think Hot Toys must have made every figure from "The Avengers" they come out with a surprise offering. This week, they revealed the Mark Ruffalo-based Bruce Banner 1:6 scale figure which comes with glasses and several different hand options. Bruce can be purchased on his own or in a 2-pack with his emerald alter ego. The duo come with a fallen Chitauri soldier base and spare girders for tossing at alien invaders.
BREAKING BAD | Mezco continues to offer variations on a very cool theme with their line of "Breaking Bad" figures. This time around they're selling a limited-to-500 piece version of Walter White in his gray Vamonos Pest suit as seen in the Season 5 episode, "Hazard Pay." Like his predecessors, this toy of Walter comes with a 55-gallon drum and three meth-making bottles. Vamonos Walter ships in February.
DEADPOOL | The past few incarnations Marvel's X-Force have gathered together a group of dangerous X-Men and given them cool new stealthy, black-themed costumes. Collectible makers must love this because it gives them the opportunity to re-paint existing pieces in this new color scheme and have a brand new figure or statue. That's what Sideshow Collectibles did with this X-Force Deadpool Premium Format Figure statue. Like the red version, Deadpool stands 20 inches tall and comes with a jauntily cocked head. The X-Force variant has differently positioned arms holding a pair of swords and features the X-logo on his chest.
PREDATOR 2 | Remember that scene in "Predator 2" where Danny Glover found himself in the trophy room? That sure was cool. Now thanks to CoolProps and Sideshow Collectibles you can start building your own with this Guardian Predator Mask. The piece recreates the mask worn by the main alien hunter in 1990's "Predator 2" and can be displayed at a variety of angles thanks to the magnet display system.

PACIFIC RIM | Last week, NECA showed off their larger scale Kaiju figures from "Pacific Rim" and now they're talking about which Jaegers will join in on the action figure action next February. We now know that Japan's Coyote Tango and Russia's Cherno Alpha made the grade. Each will stand 8 inches tall and sport over 20 points of articulation. Actual shots of the figures have yet to be revealed, so stay tuned to future TOYING AROUND installments for those.

In another sign of slumping trading activity, NYSE Euronext (NYSE:NYX) disclosed a 42% tumble in third-quarter profits on Tuesday but the Big Board parent managed to exceed Wall Street's expectations.

The owner of the New York Stock Exchange said it earned $108 million, or 44 cents a share, last quarter, compared with a profit of $186 million, or 71 cents a share, a year earlier. Analysts had been calling for EPS of 41 cents.
Revenue, excluding transaction-based expenses, dropped 21% to $559 million. Total revenue declined 28% to $902 million.
"We continued to execute against our strategy and deliver on our multi-year growth commitments, known as Project 14, which we believe will drive a step-up in the underlying earnings power of the company in the coming years, even if trading volumes remain lackluster," CEO Duncan Niederauer said in a statement.
NYSE Euronext's third-quarter results still reflect shrinking trading activity. The exchange operator's U.S. average daily volume in cash trading slumped 39% year-over-year to 1.6 billion shares, while European cash ADV dropped 31% to 1.3 million transactions.
Derivative revenue declined 27% to $164 million driven by lower average daily trading volumes.
NYSE Euronext said it remained No. 1 in initial public offerings globally in the U.S., raising $27 billion in total global proceeds on 86 IPOs.
Meanwhile, NYSE's information services and technology solutions revenue dipped 10% to $113 million.
Niederauer also addressed the decision to shut down the equity markets last week due to Hurricane Sandy, which came after senior Wall Street execs revolted against an NYSE plan to shift trading to its electronic Arca platform.
During a conference call with analysts, Niederauer said he couldn't be more proud of his team's hurricane response and closing the U.S. markets was the "right thing to do."
Shares of New York-based NYSE were inactive in premarket trading, but they have declined 2% so far this year and almost 4% over the past 12 months.

Shoppers can get their hands on Black Friday deals earlier than ever this year. Many stores are opening their doors Thursday evening. But it may be better to hold off buying certain items. Here's a list of what shopping experts say not to buy.
Black Friday ads for the season's hottest toys are everywhere -- from Toys R Us to Wal-Mart (WMT)and Sears (SHLD). But PayPal shopping specialist Claudia Lombana says that shoppers will find deeper discounts two weeks before Christmas, when stores try to get rid of old stock.
