We all want to live in a home with a comfortable climate, and one way to do that affordably is to throttle down the heat or air conditioning when everyone's asleep or away. A programmable thermostat helps you do just that, changing temperatures to preset levels corresponding to your family's schedule.
These units -- available for gas and oil furnace systems and heat pumps -- are sold at home centers. Look for one with the familiar blue Energy Star on its label.
Energy Star is a rating system that helps homeowners and businesses choose energy efficient products and practices. Its Web site, www.energystar.gov, has buying advice and suggestions about how to operate a programmable thermostat most effectively.
An electrician will charge $144 to replace a thermostat with a seven-day programmable unit that is compatible with a heat pump, but you can buy one designed for a homeowner to install for $100 and save 30 percent by doing it yourself. If you're uncertain of your ability to do electrical work, hire an electrician or heating contractor.
To make the replacement, read the instruction manual to get an overview of the job. When you're ready to begin, turn off the electricity to the unit. Remove the front of the old thermostat and look at the wire connections. In Honeywell's manual for their Model RTH7600D, we found lettered tags to label the wires as you disconnect them.
Open the new unit and mount it on the wall by drilling holes for the screws and anchors included in the package. Match the labeled wires coming out of the wall with the same letter on the new thermostat. Use a screwdriver to loosen the screws, insert the wires in the hole and tighten the screws. Insert batteries in the back of the unit, install the front and turn on the electricity. You're ready to program the unit for your family's schedule.

New post in Bulk Emailer:
I have read the manual, and setup the bounce area appropriately. Here is the issue I am inquiring about with a little more detail:
When I go into the bounced email area of the module to view a list of the bounced emails it shows an email address for all bounced emails, but this email address is the one that the email came from such as firstname.lastname@example.com, instead of the email address that was actually bounced. In other words if you look at the bounced email itself you will see that it comes from firstname.lastname@example.com and if you look at the content of that email you will see listed the actual email address that bounced such as firstname.lastname@example.com. Now this is confusing when looking at the bounced emails in the module because obviously the firstname.lastname@example.com email address is not the bounced email address, but just the server generated email address used for all bounced emails.
I am assuming the system is not looking at the sender of the email (in this case would be email@example.com) and is looking at the actual bounced recipient which would be firstname.lastname@example.com. If this is the case then wouldn't it make more sense in the bounced area of the system to list the actual recipients email that was bounced and not the postmaster email address?

Richmond ended VCU's 13-game winning streak in dramatic fashion Thursday, forcing overtime on Darien Brothers' miraculous 3-pointer and dominating the extra period to beat the 19th-ranked Rams 86-74 at the sold-out Robins Center.
The host Spiders (13-7, 3-2) led most of the longtime rivals' initial meeting as Atlantic 10 members before VCU (16-4, 4-1) went ahead by seven with 37 seconds left in regulation. But UR chipped away, cutting the margin to one before a pair of Troy Daniels free throws put the Rams ahead by three with 12 seconds left.
Brothers came off a screen and tied the game at 69 on about a 30-foot shot from a court logo with 4 seconds left, and Richmond maintained that momentum into overtime.
Leading 73-72, UR went on a 9-0 run for an 82-74 lead with 1:40 left. Cedrick Lindsay's basket-plus-free throw, followed by 3-pointers from Kendall Anthony and Brothers, all but ensured the triumph.
Anthony had 26 points. Juvonte Reddic led the Rams with 20 points and 10 rebounds.
Lyons leads Air Force
Senior Michael Lyons from Newport News, a Woodside High graduate, had 14 points to help Air Force (11-6) earn a 90-48 home victory over New Orleans.
The Falcons shot 36 of 56 (64.3 percent) from the field, including 10 of 18 (55.6 percent) from 3-point range.
Morgan State coach suspended
Morgan State men's coach Todd Bozeman was suspended for Saturday's game at North Carolina A&T; for displaying unsportsmanlike conduct during his team's 80-78 win at Hampton last Saturday.

CHONBURI, Thailand (AP) – Thai teenager Ariya Jutanugarn shot a 2-under 70 Saturday to lead by three strokes after the third round of the LPGA Thailand despite finishing with two bogeys.
Last year's top-ranked amateur, Ariya had seven birdies – including five straight from No. 10 – for an 11-under 205 total at the Siam Country Club Pattaya Old Course. The 17-year-old Thai needed a sponsor's invitation to enter the tournament in her first year as a professional.
Stacy Lewis (76), Se Ri Pak (71) and Beatriz Recari (72) followed, and Inbee Park (71) was another stroke behind. Lewis, the third-ranked American, finished with three bogeys to lose her three-stroke lead after the second round.
Ariaya wants to stay composed in the final round.
"I went to the course today (under) pressure as there were so many fans coming to see me,'' said Ariya, who is bidding to become the first Thai player to win an LPGA tournament. "Not only my family, but also the entire country has hopes for me. But after I heard their hands clap, it became an inspiration.''
Defending champion Yani Tseng, the No. 1 player in the world, shot a 72 for a share of 24th place.

Shidler College of Business finance team makes final four in competitionUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Posted: Apr 19, 2012
Competing against 325 business schools from across North and South America, the UH Mānoa Shidler College of Business CFA undergraduate finance team made the final four at the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) Equity Research Challenge, Americas Region bracket, in New York on April 10.
The UH Shidler team of Billy Wu, Luke Kudray, Jimmy Jones, Miku Konsolas and Wilson Wang was one of 44 schools invited to the New York Americas Region Championships after winning the Hawai'i CFA Chapter competition last February.
At the Grand Hyatt in New York, the UH Shidler team presented a comprehensive analysis and valuation of HEI (parent company of Hawaiʻi Electric Company and American Savings Bank) to a panel of judges comprised of senior investment professionals.
In the qualifying rounds, the UH Shidler team surpassed schools such as USC, Marquette and Wharton (Executive MBA team) to reach the final four with William & Mary, Illinois Tech and University of Waterloo. In an extremely close competition consisting of a presentation, a written equity report and rigorous Q&A by top Wall Street analysts and portfolio managers that judged the competition, Illinois Tech was selected as the winner of the Americas region.
"Our team gave an exceptional presentation in the final round," said UH Faculty Team Advisor Ben Bystrom. "They did an outstanding job of representing UH and the CFA Hawaiʻi Chapter. Shidler College of Business is now on a short list of the best business schools worldwide in finance competitions."
"This is an outstanding achievement for our undergraduate finance students, faculty and members of CFA Hawaiʻi who spent countless hours preparing for this competition," said Vance Roley, dean of the Shidler College of Business. "The CFA Challenge gives students a unique opportunity to learn from and work with financial professionals in preparing for a career in the financial sector."
The Shidler team was sponsored by the CFA Hawaiʻi, and guided by Paul Yamashita, CFA and UBS Financial Services Financial Advisor and industry mentor Diana Wehrly, CFA.

Once described as possibly the most abundant large bird of prey in the world, the Critically Endangered White-rumped Vulture (Gyps bengalensis) has suffered a population decline of more than 99.9% in just 15 years. According to The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species™, 10 of the world's 23 vulture species are threatened with extinction, with the most rapid declines occurring in Asia. As scavengers, vultures have an important ecological role and these population declines have serious consequences for humans and the environment.
Between 1992 and 2007, a large-scale decline in vulture numbers was observed across Asia and the White-rumped Vulture was not the only victim. Two other species, the Indian Vulture (Gyps indicus) and the Slender-billed Vulture (Gyps tenuirostris), both Critically Endangered, suffered a 97% decline in population numbers. These declines have been directly attributed to the veterinary use of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac, ingested by vultures that ate carcasses of cattle that had recently been treated with the drug.
Diclofenac causes renal failure and death for vultures. Due to the strength of the drug and the tendency of vultures to feed in large groups, research has shown that just one in 760 livestock carcasses needs to contain diclofenac to cause the population decline that has been observed. Despite a manufacturing ban in Pakistan, Nepal and India and a ban on its sale and veterinary use in India, there are concerns that this drug is still affecting vulture populations in Asia.
"The dramatic decline of vultures in South Asia highlights that we can never be complacent about conservation, even when it comes to 'common' species", said Dr Scott Perkin, Head of IUCN's Biodiversity Conservation Programme, Asia. "The fortunes of a particular species, or even an entire group of species, can change for the worse in a remarkably short period of time. Fortunately, in this case, a combination of vigilance, strong science, political commitment and the dedicated efforts of local and international organizations, including many IUCN Members, means that there is still hope that vultures may one day return to the skies of Asia."
Despite their mixed reputation vultures provide vital ecosystem services. Their most important role is removing carcasses of animals that would otherwise be left to rot. This waste removal service reduces the possibility of a carcass becoming a hazard to human health and controls the populations of disease-carrying scavengers such as feral dogs and rats. In India, the decline of vultures has seen an increase in the numbers of feral dogs and with it, a higher incidence of dog bites and rabies.
The loss of vultures is also having a social and cultural impact in South Asia. An ancient custom known as sky burial, where the human dead are left in 'towers of silence' or on stone pillars at the tops of hills for vultures and other scavengers, is practised by the Zoroastrian-Parsi community in India and Pakistan and by Tibetan Buddhists, but the tradition is now being negatively impacted by the decline in vultures.
However, there is a solution. In addition to calling for an end to the use of diclofenac and its sale in multi-dose vials, IUCN is working with the Governments of South Asia and a consortium of organizations known as 'SAVE' (Saving Asia's Vultures from Extinction), which is also supported by SOS – Save Our Species, to establish 100 kilometer radius 'Vulture Safe Zones' clear of diclofenac and other potentially dangerous veterinary painkillers. This involves awareness work at all levels, from Government officials, vets and local farmers. Once carcasses have tested negative to the drugs and an area is declared safe, birds from one of the region's conservation breeding programmes, which have now successfully bred all three Gyps species, can potentially be released into the area in the future.
"Thankfully, there is at least one safe alternative drug available to the vets, which is already being made by more than 40 different companies in South Asia," said Chris Bowden, the SAVE Programme Manager and Co-Chair of the IUCN SSC Vulture Specialist Group. "If this is fully adopted for veterinary practice, then there will be a real prospect for releasing the captive birds back to a safe environment and a recovery of Asian vulture populations."
A workshop involving senior Government representatives and scientists from Bangladesh, India, Nepal and Pakistan as well as international experts and community leaders will be held in Delhi in early May 2012. Amongst other items, the workshop will consider the latest vulture population trends in South Asia and emerging conservation issues. It is hoped that the workshop will lead to a regional declaration on vulture conservation and that it will also catalyze enhanced collaboration among the range states, including the development of a regional vulture project.

That makes a plant?!
For this lesson, I planned to cover plant reproduction via parts of a flower. This was the first lesson that required thinking on my toes and adapting my plan (something that I am quickly learning). I drew out a picture and went over the descriptions. The pre-K and 2nd graders were lost and distracted. They were more engaged by the humming birds and moths flying around the garden. I decided to cover pollinators and how the birds and other insects pollinate the plants and "make new plants". I decided to be a bee, and had the kids each choose a pollinator. We buzzed around the garden, pollinating the plants with our bizzzzz buzzz or chirip chirps. At the end of the lesson, they drew (pre-k) the pollinators or wrote about what they were and the role they played in the garden (2nd grade). The 5th graders drew the diagram that I brought and some of them were more interested in the 6th grade boys than a lesson plan. I decided to let the students who were participating plant plugs that had been donated from Muir Ranch. For snack, they had different varieties of apple and pineapple, but only after they named why it is important to "bee nice to pollinators" (also after saying thank you).

The Houston Texans lost linebacker Brian Cushing to a left knee injury that came off an egregious chop block by New York Jets left guard Matt Slauson during Monday night's 23-17 win.
It was a flagrant low strike in which Slauson came from behind and cut Cushing's knees out from under him. ESPN's Jon Gruden noted the shady tactics, and one of Cushing's old USC buddies, Green Bay Packers All-Pro linebacker Clay Matthews, reacted strongly on Twitter to what he observed:
If the NFL really wants to increase player safety, start protecting players on BOTH sides of the ball.- Clay Matthews III (@ClayMatthews52) October 8, 2012
Continued Matthews: "Where is the NFL's protection on blocks below the waist like that on Cushing. Double standard!"
Matthews isn't alone in arguing that the NFL's hyper-focus on protecting its quarterbacks and skill players doesn't fully extend to those who make their living on defense.
The Texans won't be pleased when they sit down to review Monday's night game tape.

Worlds Best Routing Guide
World's Best Routing Guide
This simple guide guarantees success whenever you need to make a straight routing pass. It's perfect for jointing a long edge or routing dadoes and grooves. You'll get smooth, chatter-free results, thanks to the guide's firm support fence. Positioning the guide is foolproof, because it's dedicated to the bit you plan to use. The guide is nothing more than a 1/2-in.-thick fence glued to a 1/4-in.-thick base. The base protrudes by the radius of the router's base. The fence must have a straight edge—I used the factory edge of my MDF. Routing the base with a straight bit completes the guide. To use, simply align the guide's base with your cutline on the workpiece. Clamp the guide in position and rout, using the same straight bit that you used to complete the guide. For best results, don't try to remove more than 1/16 in. from the edge or to rout a dado deeper than 1/4 in. at a time.
The guide works perfectly with your router, because you use your router to make it. Make the base extra wide; then trim it with your router. Now when you use the guide, the routed base indicates the edge of the cut, as long as you rout with the same bit or another bit with the same diameter.
Click on any image to view a larger version.
A short guide is perfect for routing dadoes and rabbets. Make sure the guide extends beyond the workpiece on both ends.
Difficult operations, such as squaring the ends of a large tabletop, are a breeze. When you rout end grain, clamp a block against the back edge, so you don't blow it out.

Ramesh Ponnuru: The immigration bill has one terrible weaknessRAMESH PONNURU
April 25. 2013 12:15AM
"Amnesty" is the swear word many conservatives apply to the new bipartisan immigration bill. The same invective was used to sink the last major attempt to change American immigration laws, during President George W. Bush's second term. Some critics say that offering legal status to illegal immigrants is simply wrong in principle.
Yet that isn't the most troubling aspect of the bill. What ought to be drawing more opposition is the proposal to bring hundreds of thousands of "temporary guest workers" to the United States.
That's not to deny that legalization poses risks of its own. If enforcement of the laws is lax, it could encourage more people to come here illegally in the hope of the next round of legalization. If we can be reasonably assured of strong enforcement, on the other hand, offering legal status to many or most undocumented immigrants already in the U.S. may be the best way to handle past policy mistakes. Although there's room to argue about whether the bill offers this assurance, I think Sen. Marco Rubio and other supporters of the legislation are right in principle to offer legal status.
The guest-worker program is where they go wrong. For the Republican politicians who have in the past been its main supporters, this provision is like a dessert with no calories: Businesses get the benefit of the temporary workers' labor and they get to make some money, but the rest of us don't have to make room for immigrants in our society, and Republicans don't have to worry how they will vote.
That's exactly what's wrong with the idea. One of the worst things about illegal immigration is that it creates a class of people who contribute their labor to this country but aren't full participants in it and lack the rights and responsibilities of everyone else. A guest-worker program doesn't solve this problem. It formalizes it.
So we would have a two-tier labor market. Most people who work in the United States can quit their jobs without worrying that they'll be ejected from the country after 60 days of unemployment. Temporary workers would have no such security. Most people can leave one industry for another. The temporary agricultural workers in the bill would have no such freedom. Some foreigners may choose this fate as better than their alternatives. It seems unfair, though, to ask Americans to compete with workers who will be more willing to put up with bad working conditions because of this artificially precarious situation.
Organized labor and its liberal allies have traditionally opposed guest-worker programs. President Bill Clinton came out strongly against the idea when he was in office, citing the work of Barbara Jordan's bipartisan commission on immigration. That commission found that such programs were bad for workers and didn't reduce illegal immigration as advertised. Instead they increased it: Guest workers overstayed their terms, and family members and friends came to join them.
This time around, union leaders are going along with the guest-worker program. Perhaps they think it's a price worth paying to legalize illegal immigrants, and that after it passes they can push to liberalize the program to make it easier for guest workers to become citizens.
In that case, the program will end up backfiring on the Republican politicians who most avidly support it. If they say no to liberalization, they will be portrayed as anti-Hispanic - the very image they are trying to dispel by backing this bill. If they say yes, they will be increasing the number of low-wage voters, which is what they wanted to avoid by supporting a guest-worker program.
Enforcing the program's limits would involve similarly bad choices. One of the chief arguments for this bill is to stop enforcing immigration laws in ways that break up families. What happens when a guest worker has finished his three-year term and has no job - but has brought his family here? (Or had a child, who would be a U.S. citizen?) Will we then deport him? Or will we just let him overstay his visa and go into the shadows as an illegal immigrant?
Supporters of the bill should rethink these provisions. Opponents should train their fire on them. Many Americans support legalizing illegal immigrants because it seems more humane and practical than mass deportations. Guest-worker programs seem at odds with those impulses, because they're neither humane nor practical.

DeKALB – Many homeowners take precautions to protect themselves. They lock their doors at night, turn off and unplug appliances and regularly test their smoke detectors.
Radon isn't something many homeowners consider a danger in their homes, but it could be harming them the most.
Radon is a colorless, odorless naturally occurring gas found in uranium in soil. The gas often seeps through cracks in a house's foundation or other areas exposed to soil. The health risks associated with radon are not immediate but rather a result of continuous exposure over a long period of time.
Kenneth Malone, owner and operator of All-Home Inspection Services based in Sycamore, said radon can be a serious threat.
"You don't know if you're affected by it," he said. "That's the problem."
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported more people die from lung cancer than any other type of cancer, with more than 20,000 deaths a year attributed to radon exposure in the U.S. The surgeon general also cites radon as the second-leading cause of lung cancer in the nation.
Malone said he tests radon levels in about only two or three houses a month. But he said it's an important step homeowners, especially new homeowners, need to take in protecting themselves.
"You need to test your home and get it to the lowest level you can," he said.
The Illinois Emergency Management Agency reported in January that about 41 percent of more than 118,000 homes across the state had radon levels exceeding the recommended level of 4 picocuries per liter of air (pCi/L) established by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. Malone said finding homes with levels above this amount is common.
"I would say that 55 to 60 percent of the houses I do are above the 4 pCi/L that the EPA recommends," he said.
When a house's radon levels are above the recommended 4 pCi/L, Malone said the homeowner should call a radon mitigation professional.
Jennifer Schuman, co-owner of Heritage Radon Mitigation Services in St. Charles, said her radon mitigation company serves several counties in Illinois, including DeKalb County.
Schuman said the process of radon mitigation in homes isn't as complex as it sounds.
"Basically, what you attempt to do is capture the radon before it even enters into the home," she said.
Schuman said they install a ventilation system that draws from the foundation of the house to keep radon from entering.
Because radon is a naturally occurring element, Schuman said it's impossible to eliminate completely in a home. But she said they can get levels to match the safer outdoor radon levels, which are about 0.2 to 0.7 pCi/L. She said the average cost of a standard mitigation system is about $1,200.
Schuman said that since radon cannot be prevented from entering the home, the best course of action homeowners can take is to test their home regularly.
Malone said the EPA recommends homeowners test radon levels at least every two years, either through professional services or self-testing kits, which range in price from $7 to $30.
"I've found them to be very accurate if you do it right," he said.
If homeowners do decide to conduct their own testing, Malone said they need to follow the directions precisely or risk inaccurate readings.
Whether hiring a professional or testing for radon themselves, both Malone and Schuman said it's important for homeowners to stay on top of the issue.
"If you can do anything possible to reduce your risk, that's the way to go," said Malone. "Why put yourself at risk when you can do something about it?"

HaTeX User's Guide
From HaskellWiki
1 Preface
1.1 Introduction
If you are here because you want to learn more about HaTeX, or just feel curious, you are in the right place. First of all, note that this guide is addressed to that people that already knows the basics of both Haskell and LaTeX. Otherwise, try to learn first a bit of these languages (both are quite useful learnings). To learn Haskell, though I guess you already learned it since you are reading these lines, go to the Haskell web [1] and search for some tutorials or books. To learn LaTeX, you can start with The not so short introduction to LaTeX [2].
The HaTeX library aspires to be the tool that Haskellers could want to make their LaTeX things without exit of their language (we understand that is difficult to leave Haskell after the first date), trying to be the most comprehensive and well done as possible. Do you think, anyway, that something could be done better? Perhaps something is lacked? Go then to the HaTeX mailing list [3] and leave your complain without mercy! Or, in the case you are a GitHub user, say your word in the issue list [4] or, to be awesome, make yourself a patch and send a pull request. This is the great thing about open source projects!
1.2 What is HaTeX?
Before we explain how HaTeX works, it is convenient to say what actually HaTeX is.
HaTeX is a Haskell library that provides functions to create, manipulate and parse LaTeX code.
People often says that HaTeX is a LaTeX DSL. With it you can enjoy all the advantages you already have in Haskell while creating LaTeX documents. A common purpose is to automatize the creation of such documents, perhaps from a source data in Haskell. A more exotic one is to render chess tables. Possibilities are in a wide range. The idea is the following: if you can do it with LaTeX, you can do it with HaTeX, but adding all the Haskell features.
2 Basics
Through this section you will learn the basics of HaTeX. Essentially, how it works.
2.1 The Monoid classIf you are already familiar with the
A monoid in Mathematics is an algebraic structure consisting of a set of objects with an operation between them, being this operation associative and with a neutral element. Phew! But what is the meaning of this? By associative we mean that, if you have three elements a, b and c, then a * (b * c) = (a * b) * c. A neutral element is the one that does not worth to operate with, because it does nothing! To say, e is a neutral element if e * a = a * e = a, given any object a. As an example, you may take the real numbers as objects and the ordinary multiplication as operation.Now that you know the math basics behind the
class Monoid m where mempty :: m mappend :: m -> m -> m mconcat :: [m] -> m
The names of the methods may seem insuitable, but they correspond to an example of monoid:the lists with the appending
xs ++ [] = [] ++ xs = xs
This class plays a significant role in HaTeX. Keep reading.
2.2 LaTeX blocks
Suppose we have a well-formed1 piece of LaTeX code, call it a.Now, let
a totally empty code is a well-formed piece of LaTeX code, we can speak about the empty block.And, as the reader may notice, these blocks with its appending form a monoid. Namely,
to collapse them all in a single block.
2.3 Creating blocks
We have now a universe of blocks forming a monoid. What we need now is a way to create these blocks.As we said, a block is the representation of a well-formed piece of LaTeX code. Let
this value will generate the desired block.Other LaTeX expressions depend on a given argument. For example
a number. How we deal with this? As you expect, with functions. We can create blocks that depend on values with functions that take these values as arguments, where these arguments can beblocks as well. For instance, we have the function
linespread :: Float -> LaTeX
As you may know, a title in LaTeX can contain itself LaTeX code. So the type for the Haskellfunction
title :: LaTeX -> LaTeX
And this is, essentialy, the way to work with HaTeX: to create blocks and combine them. Once you have your final block ready, you will be able to create its corresponding LaTeX code (we will see how later). Note that for every block there is a LaTeX code, but not for every code there is a block, because a malformed (in the sense of the negation of our well-formed concept) code has not a block in correspondence. This fact has a practical consequence: we cannot create malformed LaTeX code. And that's a good deal!
2.3.1 From strings
Inserting text in a LaTeX document is a constant task. You can create a block with text givenan arbitrary
class IsString a where fromString :: String -> a
Since there is a set of characters reserved to create commands or another constructions, HaTeX takes care and avoids them replacing each reserved character with a command whichoutput looks like the original character. For example, the backslash
This one is similar to the Overloaded Numbers Haskell feature, which translates the number
2.3.2 More blocks
There is a lot of functions for create blocks. In fact, we can say that this is the main purpose of the library. LaTeX has a lot of commands, in order to set font attributes, create tables, insert graphics, include mathematical symbols, etc. So HaTeX have a function for each command defined in LaTeX (to tell the truth, only for a small subset). Please, go to the API documentation to read about particular functions. Build it locally or find it in Hackage: http://hackage.haskell.org/package/HaTeX.You will find the class constraint
2.4 Putting blocks togetherOnce you have the blocks, as we said before, you need to append them. The
as follows:
mconcat [ "I can see a " , textbf "rainbow" , " in the blue " , textit "sky" , "." ]
2.5 Rendering
This is the last step in our LaTeX document creation. When we have our finalLaTeX block
the form of its correspondent LaTeX code.
Say we have the next definition:
short = documentclass [] article <> title "A short message" <> author "John Short" <> document (maketitle <> "This is all.")
in the current working directory (line breaks added for easier visualization):
\documentclass{article} \title{A short message} \author{John Short} \begin{document} \maketitle{} This is all \end{document}
output to dvi or pdf.The function
renderFile :: Render a => FilePath -> a -> IO ()
class Render a where render :: a -> Text
These instances are useful for creating blocks from other values. With the function
2.6 Try yourself
As always, the best way to learn something well is to try it by yourself. Since to see code examples can give you a great help, HaTeX comes with several examples where you can see by yourself how to get the work done.
The API reference is also a good point to keep in mind. Descriptions of functions make you know how exactly they works. And, when they are not present, function names with type signatures may be very helpful and descriptive.
3 LaTeX blocks and the Writer monad
3.1 The Writer MonadFixed a monoid
and elements from other types. Thus, the Haskell declaration is as follows4:
data W m a = W m a
of the monoid.
inject :: Monoid m => a -> W m a inject a = W mempty a
instance Functor (W m) where fmap f (W m a) = W m (f a)
join :: Monoid m => W m (W m a) -> W m a join (W m (W m' a)) = W (mappend m m') a
respectively. In practice, this is because they act equal. Indeed, they are equal if we forget the
instance Monoid m => Monad (W m) where return = inject w >>= f = join (fmap f w)
There is nothing to say about this instance. It is and standard definition valid to any monad.
What we have done here is to hide in a monad a monoid with all its operations. We have created amachine that operates monoid values. To insert a value into the machine we need the
tell :: m -> W m () tell m = W m ()
When we execute the machine, it returns to us the result of operate all the values we have put on it.
execute :: W m a -> m execute (W m a) = m
instance Monoid Int where mempty = 0 mappend = (+) example :: Int example = execute $ do tell 1 tell 2 tell 3 tell 4
example :: Int example = execute $ mapM_ tell [ 1 .. 4 ]
3.2 The LaTeX MonadLet's go back to the
type LaTeXW = W LaTeX
example :: LaTeX example = execute $ do tell $ documentclass [] article tell $ author "Monads lover" tell $ title "LaTeX and the Writer Monad"
We put all that blocks in the machine, and it returns the concatenated block. We saved a lot of
author' :: LaTeXW a -> LaTeXW () author' = tell . author . execute
example :: LaTeX example = execute $ do documentclass' [] article author' "Monads lover" title' "LaTeX and the Writer Monad"
3.3 Composing monads
To add flexibility to HaTeX, the writer monad explained above is defined as a monad transformer,named
The first change is in type signatures. We need to carry an inner monad in every type.
foo :: Monad m => LaTeXT m a
type LaTeXW = LaTeXT M foo :: LaTeXW a
Now, type signatures remain unchanged.The other change is a new feature: the
of our inner monad at any time. For example, suppose we want to output some code we have in the file foo.hs. Instead of copy all its content, or read and carry it as an argument along the code,you can simply read that file using
type LaTeXIO = LaTeXT IO readCode :: FilePath -> LaTeXIO () readCode fp = lift (readFileTex fp) >>= verbatim . raw example :: LaTeXIO () example = do "This is the code I wrote this morning:" readCode "foo.hs" "It was a funny exercise."
Different monads will give different features. In the case we are not interested in any of these features, it is enough to use the Identity monad.
type LaTeXW = LaTeXT Identity
4 The LaTeXC classHaTeX has two different interfaces. One uses blocks as
function definitions5 or to have a typeclass which unifies both interfaces. Since duplicate definitions is a hard workand can arise problems6, we took the second alternative and defined the
typeclass. This way, we have both interfaces with a single import, without being worry about maintaining duplicated code. The cost is to have class constraints in type signatures. But these constraints are only required in the package. At the user level, you choose your interface and write type signatures in consequence.
5 Packages
LaTeX, in addition to its predefined commands, has a big number of packages that increase its power. HaTeX functions for some of these packages are defined in separated modules, with one or more modules per package. This way, you can import only those functions you actually need. Some of these modules are below explained.
5.1 Inputenc
This package is of vital importance if you use non-ASCII characters in your document. For example, if my name is Ángela, the Á character will not appear correctly in theoutput. To solve this problem, use the
import Text.LaTeX.Base import Text.LaTeX.Packages.Inputenc thePreamble :: LaTeX thePreamble = documentclass [] article <> usepackage [utf8] inputenc <> author "Ángela" <> title "Issues with non-ASCII characters"
Don't forget to set to UTF-8 encoding your Haskell source too.
5.2 GraphicxWith the
includegraphics :: LaTeXC l => [IGOption] -> FilePath -> l
height, scaling or rotation. See the API documentation for details.
6 Epilogue
6.1 Notes about this guide
This guide is not static. It will certainly be changed with the time. Any reader can participate as a writer since the guide is itself open source (and written in Haskell!). The source repository can be reached at: https://github.com/Daniel-Diaz/hatex-guide. Read more detailed instructions in the README file.
If you think there is something unclear, something hard to understand, please, report it.
I would like to end this guide saying thanks to all the people that has been interested in HaTeX somehow, especially to those who contributed to it with patches, opinions or bug reports. Thanks.
7 Footnotes
1: With well-formed we mean that all braces, environments, math expressions, ... are closed.2: Please, note that the
is a Haskell value, not the LaTeX code itself.3: From GHC 7.4,
versions of GHC, HaTeX exports the synonym.4: Some authors write it using tuples, like this:
6: In fact, we had a problem with HaTeX-meta, the program that automatically generated the duplicated functions. The problem was described in a blog post: http://deltadiaz.blogspot.com.es/2012/04/hatex-trees-and-problems.html.

think its dead? dunno poke it with a stick
If you can use both computers to surf the Internet you allready have a working network. You probably need to share something. Right click on a directory and choose Sharing....
Oliver's Law:
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.
Also, if you are using Windows XP, make sure that the Internet Connection Firewall (ICF) is turned off. It blocks local file sharing.
The above replies are correct. Turn on file and printer sharing and then share whatever files and printers you want to use across the network. To get the "properties" menu to appear, you need to right-click on the directory or printer you want to share. I have included a screenshot which may be of some assistance. Be sure to install the printer on every host you weant to acxcess it with, not just the box it is directly connected to.

Tom Herzig's Trackside: Hirschman, Shaw win at Lee, Star Speedways
Matt "The Bounty Hunter" Hirschman
of Northampton, Pa., came, saw and conquered yet another Modified Open event — the Bull Ring Bash 100 Powered by Sunoco – Sunday at Lee USA Speedway.
Hirschman started 21st in a stellar 26-car field, hid out in the tall grass for most of the race and then struck like a black mamba with about 20 laps to go, just before the race came apart in a flurry of late cautions.
Partly by calculation and partly through good fortune, Hirschman was always either well behind incidents or ahead of them after dusting off
Steve Masse
to lead the final seven laps on the way to a $5,000 payday.
As Hirschman was about to take the checkered flag, a multi-car crash in the fourth turn shuffled the finish and wiped out the strong efforts of Masse and
Todd Annarummo
, who wound up officially scored in 18th and 19th.
Ryan Preece
was the runner-up with
Dennis Perry
Rowan Pennink
Max Zachem
following. Perry, a Thompson SK Modified regular who hadn't raced much at Lee before, was both happy and contrite afterwards. "I couldn't avoid it," Perry said. "I gave Todd (Annarummo) a pretty good punt. It happened. I was right on him. I tried to dig underneath for last turn and I gave him that shot. It was nothing intentional, it was a racing deal, but I feel terrible about it."
"This is me at my best in these short track open shows," Hirschman proclaimed in victory lane. "I pay attention to what goes on. I pay attention to all racing, all the different series, who's winning, who does what. I may not have a lot of on-track experience here, but I know what it takes to win these shows. These Tri-Track Open races are the best races you'll see all year."
Masse had tried an approach similar to Hirschman's. At the halfway mark, Annarummo and Pennink were dicing for the lead well ahead of the pack when Masse began gaining ground in the low lane. By lap 70, he was in third. When he took the lead on a lap 76 restart, Hirschman was 14th. Then the combination of worn tires, Speedi-Dry and time running out started the yellow flag deal. When Hirschman arrived, Masse couldn't match him on the restarts.
Dennis Dumas
of Nashua won the Hobby Stock feature at Lee.
Tommy Tombarello
/Small Block Supers and
George Helliwell
/NE Classic Lites also came out on top.
The next Tri-Track Modified Open event is Saturday, June 14, at Star Speedway where on Saturday,
DJ Shaw
of Center Conway won the season-opening PASS Super Late Model 150 in the Precision JLM No. 60. Shaw took the lead with 25 laps remaining survived a lap 138 restart and held off
Mike Rowe
Richie Dearborn
Joey Polewarczyk Jr.
for his second PASS win of the season. He won the Easter Bunny 150 at Hickory Speedway in North Carolina Easter Sunday.
The PASS Super Late Models will be at White Mountain Motorsports Park — which opens this Saturday night — for the Littleton Chevrolet Buick 150 on May 24.
Bear Ridge completed one DIRTcar Bond Auto Sportsman Modified feature from an earlier rainout, which was won by
Jason Grey
, and followed with another that went to
Tim Hodge
of Vershire, Vt.
The Sprint Cars of New England were at Legion's opener where
Chris Donnelly
of Piermont and
Dan Douville
of Bridgewater finished first and second.Hudson Speedway begins its 2014 season Sunday with a race card headlined by the Outlaw division — post time 1 p.m.
Keith Carzello
of Somers, Conn., won the Sportsman Modified feature at Monadnock besting

We all know him as Jim, the affable, shaggy-haired salesman from the Dunder Mifflin paper company. But actor John Krasinski (who also appeared in this summer's Away We Go) has set out to prove he's no one-trick pony. With his latest project, a film adaptation of the late David Foster Wallace's Brief Interviews with Hideous Men, Krasinski proves he can hold his own behind the camera, as well, directing such stars as Will Arnett, Will Forte, Christopher Meloni, Bobby Cannavale and Timothy Hutton. Today Hulu premieres an exclusive "making of" featurette (featuring an intro from Krasinski himself) for this pet project. We also had the opportunity to speak to the 29-year-old actor about the film, which hits theaters September 25. (You can watch the trailer here.) And for all of you Pam and Jim fans — is that "Jam" or "Pim?" — we asked for a little scoop about the Season 6 premiere of The Office, which airs on NBC tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT. We'll have it on Hulu first thing tomorrow morning. — Rebecca Harper (), Editor
There's a bit of an announcement we're hoping you can make about Brief Interviews with Hideous Men. Can you tell us about that?
John Krasinski: Hulu's premiering the movie first on the Internet [after it finishes its run in theaters], so we're a part of that, and that's fantastic. I think anybody in this business would be incredibly fortunate to be a part of anything having to do with Hulu, to be honest. Hulu is one of those ideas that is so cutting edge, that you just know it's going to be a huge, huge part of people's lives from now on. Not only for what it is doing and is capable of doing now as an interactive site, but also for what it has potential to grow into, which I think is nothing short of world domination. [Laughs] So we have that to look forward to, that our president will be Hulu.
To have Hulu support you in any way and display the ads for the movie and things like that is incredibly exciting, but then to have the movie be premiered on Hulu after its first run in the theaters is incredible. I think that Hulu's done an incredible amount for The Office, and we are indebted to [Hulu] in a huge way. I think that it's a massive part of our popularity, and why people have continued to watch us. We're really, really lucky to be part of it — I have had experience with being part of a project [The Office] that benefits from being on site like Hulu, so to have our movie on Hulu and accessible to anyone at anytime, it's really an honor, to be honest.
Well, thanks! And of course, I would say we wouldn't be Hulu without The Office.
Awww, that's nice.
Now you lined up some really incredible people for this project. Did you have some of the actors in mind from the start?
Absolutely. When I got the pilot to The Office, I used that money to buy the rights [to the book], but I had actually started writing the script a little bit before I got the rights, which was incredibly — in a negative way — ambitious. I'm sure it's what more people would call stupid. In doing so, I started writing the script and knew exactly who I was going to cast. At the time, I was waiting tables in New York, and though I was having a great time, I wasn't necessarily creatively stimulated, so I was constantly looking for inspiration anywhere I could find it. I definitely found it all the time in the theaters, by going to the theater, and by going to independent movies. I just consistently did that as often as I could. The people who I saw have these awe-inspiring performances were the people that I knew I wanted to be in this movie. And all these incredible New York actors who were just so brilliant on stage and in these small, independent movies, where a lot of them were coming out in New York, I just knew that those were the people I wanted in it, and I was just lucky enough to get them.
This being tied to David Foster Wallace, did that make it easier to get these actors?
Yeah, I'm sure it did. I think that being part of a project that is not only based on but also very much his actual writing … The movie's not at all based on the book. It is completely the material itself. In doing this movie, my only intention was to bring his material to a wider audience in a different medium, but in no way to take the movie and change it in some drastic way. My being involved in the movie and so connected to the book was because of his writing, so I just wanted to do him justice and sort of show more people how incredible this author is and show what an impact he could have on you. I think that, truly, without him knowing it, I think David Foster Wallace wrote near-perfect acting material in these characters. So I didn't have to pitch the movie very hard to these actors who I said had to come in a day, maybe two for some of them, and have these interviews that they could basically act in one day and really sink their teeth into. They very much appreciated it.
As a writer, how do you approach such a revered author's work? I would have been intimidated!
Yeah, it's funny, because to be really honest, Brief Interviews is the anomaly, I think. I can totally see why he hasn't been adapted before, because his work is incredibly intimidating in that respect. It's intimidating because you're so admiring of it as a reader. When you're a reader of his books, it's a unique experience that you'll never have with anyone else. I think he's bar none one of the best writers ever to have lived, and he's right up there on the pedestal with all the greats, in my opinion. And the real truth is, there'll ever be anyone who writes like him again. For me, this book is the anomaly because he actually wrote these characters speaking dialogue, so there are actual words being said that were actually written as characters representing themselves. To me, it was almost near-perfect dialogue and the biggest challenge was editing it down to a piece that could actually fit into a watchable movie rather than an epic miniseries or something. And then also, he was also an incredibly literary guy, and so there were moments where I chose to leave some of the literary vibe into the dialogue, and some where I had to tone it down in order to allow the guys to be a little more accessible. But other than that, really, the script in the movie is all David's work. I can't take much credit for it, because the work he did as a writer in this story is what brings such incredible life to these characters.
I understand that he actually called you to give you his blessing. How did that call go?
It was thrilling, for lack of a better word, it was just fantastic. He was incredibly kind, and incredibly generous. I remember him being so soft-spoken and so nice. He put me at ease right away. I remember him being flattered that someone had taken up this book and tried to run it up the hill. He told me that his intention for Brief Interviews was to write a story about a character that you never see or hear from, but by using all the characters around that person, you find out all you need to know about them. And that's exactly what I'd done. I'd already written the script when I talked to him, and I'd done just that in the script, because all the signs were there. It was just incredible to have that connection with him; that I was not only on the right path, but charging down the right way. It was so inspiring and such a pick-me-up that it was a great way to go into the actual shooting of the movie, knowing that we were on the right path and that we were representing him in the correct way.
You know, the big cinematic move that I did and probably the biggest part of the adaptation that I did is that [the female lead, played by Julianne Nicholson] connected to one of the characters, and I remember he was incredibly excited about that. He said that he had seen Brief Interviews as sort of an incomplete project because it hadn't fully tied into itself, and there was nothing that could tie them all together. So when I sort of brought one of the characters in the book and connected it to her personally, all of a sudden there was a linear aspect to the movie. I had written one draft that was extremely linear and had all these incredible arcs that were fitting in pretty well, but at the end, when you re-read it, you realized that it just didn't feel right, that it was feeling forced and fake. And so I realized that the best way to adapt the book was to go back and allow it to be what it wanted to be, which was spontaneous and slightly erratic and something that basically presented itself when it wanted to present itself.
You end up appearing in the film, but that wasn't always your intention.
It wasn't at all. My intention was solely to direct. I was pretty sure that these actors could do any of these characters way better than I could, but then we had an actor pull out at the last minute. There was this scheduling conflict, just one of those things that happens. We only had two weeks until we shot the scene. Normally that would be fine, but unfortunately that is such a big monologue and, as such, a huge part of the movie. I had shot all of the other interviews, so it was the last one and it needed to fit in just right. It would be a very stressful situation for any actor to just come in and sort of take on that much dialogue and that much intricate storytelling without knowing any of the other pieces, and I was the only one who knew the pieces. So the producers and I sat down and we decided that I'd be the best person to do it, solely because I'd read it 100 times, for no other reason than I knew what I was talking about when I was sort of relating the story to her and how it would connect to everything else.
Because this was a passion project for you, was the acting easier for you?
It was by far the scariest performance I have ever given; rather, it was the most scared performance I've ever given. It has solely to do with the fact that I was the director, and not because it hard to direct myself or anything like that — that's not at all what happened. The reason why it was so scary was that I had sat behind the monitor and watched all these incredible actors turn in performances that were nothing short of awe-inspiring. The day before, we had shot the bathroom scene, which is one of my favorite scenes in the movie, and so to literally be the last person to go and to be the last piece of the puzzle, and to know that if this didn't work, the movie wouldn't work, was probably the worst position I could have put myself in. But I really didn't want to fail everybody else. Hopefully it works out.
I can imagine how challenging this must have been for you, but I think it worked, I really do. But I have to ask — on behalf of all of the fans of The Office — can you tell us what we're going to see in the new season? A little teaser, perhaps?
It's funny, the season premiere is just sort of an old-time structure of The Office — it's just a really funny episode of The Office. There aren't necessarily any incredible spoilers; it's sort of getting back to the season in a way that I think is a really smart way to do it, which is just getting everyone back in the office. But then definitely the wedding episode is coming up and it is fantastic. I think that — and I think I can speak on behalf of the entire cast when I say this — we're all just huge fans of the show and we love it so much. To get those scripts, we're as excited as any fan would be to see what's going to happen next, the way they deal with the wedding and how [Pam and Jim] get together. It's a scary thing to get married on a show, because it's always a tough conundrum of whether it's good for the show or bad for the show. Of course the writers are so fantastic that they did it perfectly.
Last season was such a great season that I really can't wait to see what's in store now. Well, thanks, John for your time – we really appreciate it.
Absolutely. Thank you.

It's a study in contrasts, the truck engine production process today. On the one hand you have the foundry: the dark, smokey place where metal is melted in giant pots to create all the components that going into making an engine. On the other is the production process itself -- today a place where robots increasingly hold sway, where the light is soft, the air clean, and the floor scrubbed to high polished sheen.
Rapidly disapearing are the clangs and clashes, shouts and yells, all the sounds that represent the controlled chaos of the old production line. Now automated guided vehicles -- AGVs for short -- silently but surefootedly take each engine from station to station where humans use computer controls to guide them in the construction process. The milling of engine blocks, too, has changed, with humans only monitoring the robot's progress from outside a sound-dampening protective box that also serves to keep the air free of pollution.
These are the contrasts of engine factories today that I've seen, from Volvo's powertrain facility in Hagerstown, Maryland, and Detroit Diesel's factory in Redford, Michigan all the way across the pond into Daimler AG's truck engine plant in Mannheim, Germany.
And these factories produce ever larger quantities of goods with fewer and fewer people. Take Mannheim, for example: it spat out 410,000 engines and 107,000 tonnes worth of castings in 2006 and should equal that tally in 2007. Yet it only needed some 4,400 people to do it. And these are workers that are no mere cogs on the production line anymore, more number than name. They submitted 19,000 suggestions in 2006 -- roughly 3.7 per person -- of which about 55% were adopted. The savings from those suggestions? About 5.3 million Euros -- nearly $10 million in U.S. at today's exchange rate. That's pretty impressive if you ask me and it's not surprising, either, when you learn that employees get a cut of those savings in the form of bonuses for their suggestions.
Still, it's an almost otherworldly collision of milieu when you tour engine foundries and production lines. In the foundries, you still feel like you've stumbled through a crack in time and space into Mordor in Middle Earth, with the heat, sparks, and rank smells assaulting your senses. You can almost see Orcs amid the haze, laboring over this almost unearthly alchemy that turns solid metal into bright orange fiery liquid, then into the common engine parts truckers use day in and day out.
And then you leap forward into the future -- something right out of an Arthur C. Clarke novel -- on the production line, where robots do most of the work. They spare the humans the tiresome and at times physically wearying chore of routine component installation -- something that must done right every single time with exact precision so the end user gets an engine that delivers power, fuel economy, and long durable life.
It's an interesting mix of the old and new, but one designed purposefully to extract the utmost in efficiency, capability, and longevity from what was once hunks of inert ore sitting under the earth. And its one where the tools and techniques to do it will only get refined with an even sharper edge in the years ahead.

Aaron Layman won a gut-check match, John Atkinson experienced a baptism by fire, and the Waynesboro Indians wrestling team got some key bonus points in unexpected places on Thursday night against Route 16 rival Greencastle-Antrim. But, that was all incidental compared to what transpired before the Mid-Penn Colonial Division meet.
GREENCASTLE — Aaron Layman won a gut-check match, John Atkinson experienced a baptism by fire, and the Waynesboro Indians wrestling team got some key bonus points in unexpected places on Thursday night against Route 16 rival Greencastle-Antrim.
But, that was all incidental compared to what transpired before the Mid-Penn Colonial Division meet.
Cloaked in secrecy until just prior to the on-mat introductions was Waynesboro wrestlers donning T-shirts with the words "Take Down Cancer" in support of Mindy Rouzer, wife of Tribe assistant coach Mike Rouzer.
Mindy Rouzer was recently diagnosed with a recurrence of breast cancer during her 5-year checkup after undergoing treatment for breast cancer that started when she was diagnosed with the disease at the age of 30. She is scheduled to undergo surgery next Friday at Johns Hopkins Cancer Center.
"Jesse Smith was the one who started it," said Waynesboro head coach Eric Mowen of his senior 145-pounder. "There you're talking wrestling family. I didn't know they were going to do it. No one knew about it except the kids. (Mike Rouzer) didn't even know about it. He was taken by it. The Greencastle fans actually clapped when they saw it."
Wrestling, known for stoicism and unflinching effort in the face of close quarter combat, is also a sport of unmatched support within that close-knit community.
For Mike Rouzer, it was a special moment.
"When they warmed up, they came off the mat for introductions and they started taking their tops off," Rouzer said. "I started to get on a couple of them because we wanted them to keep their warmups on. They didn't listen to me. It took a minute to process. When I did see it, I got a little choked up.
"It was amazing those kids took it upon themselves to do that. This is more than just a sport. This is a family thing. That was never truer than (Thursday night). There has been overwhelming support."
Mindy Rouzer, a chiropractor in Blue Ridge Summit, informed her patients about the surgery and is now ready to take on the disease again.
"We went to the 5-year visit and they came out and got me and took me back," Mike Rouzer said. "They found a spot they were worried about and biopsied it on the spot and it came back. It didn't go anywhere else, no lymph nodes. We were lucky there.
"She takes things in stride and moves on with her life. Seeing Mindy go through it that's the best way to do it. She never pitied herself and never wanted sympathy. She takes things on herself."
The match
Layman, a sophomore who bumped up to 120 pounds after wrestling 106 a year ago, fell behind senior Blue Devil Wade Rider 5-2 in the second period but rallied behind a third-period reversal before winning by fall in 4:45.
"That's huge when you're losing and you don't give up," Mowen said of Layman's win. "That's what we expect from our wrestlers. He was able to get that reversal."
Last year, Waynesboro's Colby Mowen defeated Rider with a cradle hold. This year, Layman wasn't able to work a cradle like Mowen did. Instead, Layman creating a pin opportunity off a scramble.
"Aaron likes cradles, too, but he wasn't able to because his arms were shorter," Eric Mowen said. "I thought we would win the match, but not a pin. He finished stronger than I thought. He's learning all the time and improving all the time."
Layman's win highlighted a competitive meet that saw the Blue Devils give up 18 points on forfeits (126, 132 and 160). Waynesboro — which won five matches by pin — forfeited two weight classes (182 and 195).
G-A's Cody Carbaugh, ranked second in District 3 at 113 pounds, remained undefeated after recording a fall against sophomore John Atkinson in 1:46 in the opening match of the night. Carbaugh, a two-time returning district tournament qualifier, led 11-0 at the time of the pin.
"We wrestled competitively," said G-A head coach Fred Yelton. "We had a lot of nice matches. Jenson (Stoner) has wrestled well. He held on for three periods. I like our conditioning and our senior leadership with Cody (Carbaugh), Wade (Rider) and Ryan (Wolf). We have nice chemistry and nice camaraderie."
Layman tied the meet after his pin, and Colby Mowen and Cody Frey both won by forfeit to make the score 18-6.
The Indians kept the pressure on the Blue Devils on the heels of strong efforts by Kenyon Cuka (138) and Jesse Smith (145). Cuka pinned Juan Grazette in 58 seconds and Smith pinned Geoff Helfrick in 1:25 to extend the lead to 30-6.
G-A made a match of it starting when Ryan Wolf notched a late first-period pin against Wes Cline in the 152-pound match. After G-A forfeited another bout, the Blue Devils reeled of three straight wins — including two by forfeit. Jensen Stoner won a dramatic 9-8 bout against Patrick Wade in which Wade rallied from a 9-4 margin but couldn't turn Stoner for back points after scoring a two-point reversal with time running out.
It was 36-27 after back to back wins by forfeit by the Blue Devils, setting the stage for the final three matches.
Andrew Paterno exerted his power against Connor Bryant in the 220-pound match, winning by pin in 48 seconds. Then, Shawn Robinson picked a great night to win his first match of the season when he pinned Dwight Henning in 1:34 of the 285-pound match.
"They won the toss and Shawn ended uup wrestling the better kid and pinned him," Mowen said. "He ran a power half and got the pin. I was really happy to see that."

To the editor: I find myself a bit conflicted these days. On the one hand I agree that workers need some form of support when dealing with an unethical employer. On the other hand I don't believe that every worker should support a representative system (union) if they don't want to, but even that position is not without an element of risk to the employee. If a worker is fired for no apparent reason and doesn't pay dues to the union, will the union intervene? I think not, even though that is their purpose.
Most unions only seem to bring about a "Catch 22" situation. By that I mean that with almost every union contract negotiation the most requested issue is more pay and the second most requested issue is better benefits. That's great for the union members at the time and yet sometimes fatal to the company, think Twinkies here. Furthermore, every penny more that the company pays to employees makes the product cost more to deliver to the customer. Which makes the company raise prices, when the company raises the price, the raise just given to employees is devalued so the next bargaining session requires more in raises. so the wheel turns up the spiral of inflation and higher costs to everyone.
Don't think that the problems elsewhere don't affect us in New Hampshire, because we do not produce everything in this state that is used here. I guess I'm not all that conflicted after all, unions are bad when they contribute to inflation and reduce the buying power of my income and do little to protect us.

To the editor: I had the great fortune of attending McClelland Elementary School's holiday concert last night — The Elf Factor. The concert was well attended with the audience literally filling 200+ chairs as well as the bleachers of Rochester Middle School.
Much attention is often given to high school holiday concert, but this was literally the best concert I, and many others I spoke to, had seen in a long time. The program had a flow to it that allowed for maximum enjoyment. The students sang with such enthusiasm and technique that you would have expected them to be much older.
In addition to the amazing concert, the directors did such a fantastic job of encouraging and incorporating some staff members into the performance. Watching the staff perform on ukuleles as well as being behind the scenes with setting up/tearing down/organizing kids on the risers speaks so highly to what a fantastic family McClelland truly is. I can't thank Mrs. Sherrilynn Pedrick enough for bringing the best out of the students and encouraging the staff in a way that they exuded the same enthusiasm as the kids. Also, Miss Sandi Moon, as an intern, proved tonight that she will make a fantastic music teacher once her internship is complete.
Thank you McClelland for putting on an incredible holiday concert (for free) for the families of Rochester. It will not be soon forgotten and you reminded each of us what the true spirit of Christmas is.

To the editor: RE: the report on Dickinson's inability to find an investor in the waterfront project
I have not followed the history of this project in detail and regard myself as a neutral observer. This inability to find an investor tells me loud and clear that there is something wrong with the project, that either in terms of scale or expected returns, it does not make sense.
However, based on the comments and based on how community officials typically act when they are invested with time and energy in a project, here's what I predict: the Committee and Council will be resistant to any change, they will grant Dickinson a waiver, and time will continue to go by and two years from now they will be in the same place. Plus there will be a great temptation to commit taxpayer money in place of an investor. Taxpayers should be afraid.

When they first brought us around the corner at the Mattel showroom to look at Barbie Video Camera, I looked around thinking perhaps we were being punked. No, it's real. Barbie is a Video Camera.
Barbie's video camera is in her chest. Maybe this was inspired by Ironman?
Now you don't have to be a teenage boy to see the humor of this placement. While we had just been taken through all of Barbie's careers-it seemed to be balanced by the location of this camera. While we tell men to look at a woman's eyes, not her chest…here you really do want to look at the chest to get the best video.
Barbie has a LCD screen in her back and will plug into both PCs and MACs. I do think watching the world from Barbie's point of view could be fun and kids will probably enjoy the $50 video camera interacting with their other dolls. I just wish I could have been a fly on the wall when they came up with this one and the Glitterizer. It does almost seem as if it's an episode of Seinfeld…where one of them would suggest an outrageous idea – and some unsuspecting executive would say "yes!!"

Apple apparently has gold on the brain, and if rumors and leaked images are to be believed, the tech giant will be adding a new color to its iPhone lineup at September 10th's media event.
If Apple is indeed releasing a gold iPhone, it will be the first time adding a color since it introduced the white iPhone 3G in 2008. The prevailing belief is the device will have a white face with an "elegant" gold-tone back plate.
"Think champagne, not ingot," a source said.
The other persistent rumor attached to the new iPhone -- frequently dubbed iPhone 5S after Apple's past naming patterns -- is a fingerprint scanner, placed in the device's home button.
Bring on the "Goldfinger" jokes.
Images of the alleged casing appeared in several places, including in a research note from KGI Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who has a history of predicting Apple's moves. Some images from the French site MacBoutic showed alleged gold casings, but without the telltale Apple logo and the words "iPhone" from the back of the casing.
Elsewhere, images of "champagne" colored buttons popped up, indicating Apple was leaning more on the subtle side than a gold brick.
The arguments for a gold iPhone are apparently very strong. Not only is gold the among the easiest colors to anodize onto the iPhone's metal casing, but the color gold has special meaning in China and India, two markets where Apple is trying to expand its foothold.
"The market is driven by colors, and gold means prosperity," said Tim Bajarin, an analyst at Creative Strategies, of the Chinese market, where the gold phone would be "huge."
And while the majority of the changes expected for the new device are expected to be under-the-hood improvements to the iPhone 5, would add some pizzazz to rollout that might otherwise seem incremental.

Washington State 24 San Diego State 42
Venue: Qualcomm Stadium, SAN DIEGO, CA
Attendance: 57,286
Washington State started off the SDSU game well with an 80-yards TD pass to WR Marquess Wilson from QB Marshall Lobbestael on the first play from scrimmage and they kept on rolling until the 4th quarter rolled around.
In the final quarter the Cougars were outscored by the Aztecs 21-0 to lose by 18. The Cougars committed 3 turnovers and their offense, which led the nation in scoring before the game, could not come up big in the clutch.
Lobbestael passed for 368 yards with 3 TD, but he was picked up twice. Besides the defense that gave up 273 passing yards and 227 rushing yards the WSU ground game was less than stellar only racking up 51 rushing yards.
Freshman Rickey Galvin was the leading rusher and did average a decent 4.5 yards per carry, but he only got 11 carries in the game.
The dagger in the heart of the Cougars came with only 7:36 left in the game when QB Lobbestael fumbled the ball and SDSU recovered and went on to score a TD.
The Cougars big issue on defense was stopping the run and that will likely continue since they gave up 227 total rushing yards with Aztecs' RB Ronnie Hillman galloping for 190 yards.
WSU showed their offensive moxy with the passing game, but unless they can run the ball and maybe more importantly stop the run this may be another long season for the Cougars.
Next Up: The Cougars have next week off and then on October 1st they begin Pac 12 play facing Colorado on the road.
