This is a very widespread species and is common throughout most of its range.This species is targeted and is very popular in the ornamental aquarium fish trade, however this is not thought to be a threat. It is found in a number of marine protected areas in parts of its range. It is therefore listed as Least Concern.
|Range Description:
|This species is found in the Indo-West Pacific Ocean from the Red Sea to South Africa, to Ryukyu Islands (Japan), Johnston Island, Australia, Lord Howe and Tuamotu Islands, but not in the Hawaiian Islands (Parenti and Randall 2000).
It is found in Kimbe Bay (Papua New Guine) (Hubble 2003), Shark Reef, Beqa Lagoon, (Fiji), Mozambique (Pereira 2000), Solomon Islands (Allen 2006), at Guadalcanal (Blaber et al. 1991), Reunion Island (Letourneur et al. 2004) and the Jordanian Red Sea (Khalaf and Kchhzius 2002).
|Countries occurrence:
Native:American Samoa; Australia; British Indian Ocean Territory; Christmas Island; Cocos (Keeling) Islands; Comoros; Cook Islands; Djibouti; Egypt; Eritrea; Fiji; French Polynesia; Guam; India; Indonesia; Israel; Japan; Jordan; Kenya; Kiribati; Madagascar; Malaysia; Maldives; Marshall Islands; Mauritius; Mayotte; Micronesia, Federated States of ; Mozambique; Myanmar; Nauru; New Caledonia; Niue; Northern Mariana Islands; Oman; Palau; Papua New Guinea; Philippines; Réunion; Samoa; Saudi Arabia; Seychelles; Solomon Islands; Somalia; South Africa; Sri Lanka; Sudan; Taiwan, Province of China; Tanzania, United Republic of; Thailand; Tokelau; Tonga; Tuvalu; United States Minor Outlying Islands; Vanuatu; Viet Nam; Wallis and Futuna; Yemen

|For the Solomon Islands Marine Assessment (Allen 2006) it was considered moderately common at depths from 2-35 m, but only a few were seen on each dive. This species displayed cryptic habits. It was occasionally seen at Pulau Tioman Marine Park, Tioman Island, Malaysia (Yusuf et al. 2005).
|Current Population Trend:
|Additional data:
|Habitat and Ecology:
|This species occurs in seaward reefs among coral branches. It also occurs in clear coastal waters, dense coral habitats on shallow reef crest or slopes to a depth of about 20 m. It inhabits depths from 3-30 m (Brunnschweiler and Earle 2006). It usually occurs in small loose groups.
This species is identified by the brightly colored line pattern and the small ocellus on the caudal fin base (Kuiter and Tonozuka 2001). It is a shy species, usually swimming amongst the protection of coral branches (Kuiter and Tonozuka 2001). It is commonly associated to Pocillopora (Hubble 2003). It feeds mainly on small crustaceans (Myers 1991). It is a secretive species (Myers 1999).
It is known to spawn just before sunset at Miyake-jima (Izu Islands), the upward spawning dash very short and rapid, to reduce predation risk upon spawning adults by crepuscular carnivores (Kuwamura 1981).
|Use and Trade:
|This species is targeted and is very popular in the ornamental aquarium fish trade. It was reportedly exported in 1993 and 1994 from Maldives (Adams 1997), and 2003 (Saleem and Adam 2004). It is used by the sea gypsies as food in Tambon Rawai (Chalong bay, Thailand), and is considered of medium value (Hylleberg 2006).
|Major Threat(s):
|There are no major threats known to this species, although it is targeted and very popular in the ornamental aquarium fish trade.
|Conservation Actions:
|There are no species-specific conservation measures in place for this species. However, its distribution overlaps several marine protected areas within its range (Wood 2007).

Established in August 2012, VIRA is a social media index that measures the social media activities of companies and brands in the healthcare industry in Germany. The ranking is based on these four dimensions: visibility, interaction, relevance and awareness, and covers data not only from Facebook, Twitter, YouTube but also healthcare portals, corporate and product sites, blogs and open communities.
The June edition, that provides the top 5 overview on the medical technology segment, highlights in particular the social media campaign of "VITA Zahnfabrik", a worldwide manufacturer of prosthetic dentistry that ranks 28th in the VIRA.
Focus: VITA Zahnfabrik
Their Facebook page has a significant number of likes at 27.500, even though it targets professionals only. Content includes posts about the company, the industry and conversation threads based on a long-term communication strategy and weekly planning. The public page links to closed Facebook groups where the country affiliates can communicate with their clients. Interesting news from the closed groups is in turn published on the public page.
According to "VITA Zahnfabrik", their social media effort pays off by creating a positive predisposition to sales visits. The activities are promoted via Google and Facebook advertising as well as through QR codes on a well-known print calendar.
A second highlight focusses on the under-valued target group of caregivers, who research for information for patients, consult in choosing a doctor or a therapy and monitor the treatment adherence. They often feel overwhelmed with their role, however there are hardly any services targeted to their needs available.
A good example of a successful social media initiative for caregivers comes from the magazine "US News Health". On February 13th, 2014, they organised an "Alzheimer's chat" for all caregivers of Alzheimer's patients, to share their worries and issues with their peers, by simply tweeting with the hashtag #Alzheimerchat. Within two hours, 1.063 posts where collected, and the magazine had established itself as a partner on this topic.
The complete VIRA June edition is available in German on www.healthcaremarketing.eu

Hello there,
I agree with the others in that it most definitely points towards being an infection. I had the same just recently whilst I was in hospital, and they gave me antibiotics.
Before that I couldn't breathe and I was coughing up horrid stuff all of the time. The coughing did makes things worse which exacerbated the breathing problems. The antibiotics shifted it all eventually. I do hope you feel better soon.
Take care

Mule boys bag Ducks, lose to Vikes
February 12, 2014
The Wahkiakum Mule boys basketball team capped their snow-shortened regular season Monday night with a convincing 54-39 win over the Toutle Lake Ducks on Senior Night in Cathlamet.
The Mules and Ducks traded buckets back and forth in the opening few minutes. After taking a 20-13 lead after the first quarter and a 29-24 lead into halftime, the Mules came out with cranked up intensity and dominated the Ducks in a 16-3 third quarter to put the game away.
Shane Souvenir led the Mules at both ends of the floor, narrowly missing a triple-double as he compiled a stat line of 29 points, 16 rebounds and seven blocks. Seth Doumit added another 10 points and six assists, Gunner Blix and Travis Wegdahl chipped in five points apiece, Austin Good three and Zach Calvert two.
Brandon Budd collected eight rebounds to go with three assists and Good grabbed five rebounds and dished eight assists.
While the win had no impact on district seeding for the Mules, it did give them tremendous momentum as they look to hit their stride and make a run at returning to the state tournament.
The Mules open up district play Thursday (tonight) at 6:30 p.m. in Montesano against the Pacific League's third-seeded Ocosta Wildcats.
Last Wednesday night, the Mules nearly took down rival Mossyrock on the road in a Central 2B League matchup but ultimately came up short against the Vikings, falling 55-52.
The Mules trailed 29-16 at the half but charged back to take a 45-40 lead halfway through the fourth quarter. However, they couldn't hold on down the stretch as the Vikings went on a 15-7 run in the closing minutes.
Doumit had an outstanding night shooting the ball, hitting 5 of 6 three point attempts as part of his team-high 19. Budd contributed 12 points, Souvenir 11, and Wegdahl 10. Souvenir raked in 10 rebounds and had a season-high eight blocks while Good grabbed another six boards, Wegdahl handed out five assists and Doumit nabbed four steals.

My System partition C:\ has 16.1 GB used space (plus 8.8 GB Free space)
I have just mounted a Macrium image file as P:\
and launched BestSync to compare C:\ w.r.t. P:\
I clicked Preview and it took 19 Seconds to complete and show the analysis.
The summary shows that 82529 files match and 167 files differ, with total size deviation of 7.06 GB.
When I deselect hiberfil.sys and pagefile.sys the size deviation drops to 70.8 MB.
If C:\ gets trashed I would NOT try to recover by synchronising C:\ to P:\.
Windows running in C:\ would not allow locked/in-use files to be over-written,
and I have a Macrium Boot CD.
But I have had no problem deselecting P:\Windows and other system related items and then synchronising my user files in C:\ with what is held in P:\.
Simples ! ! !
Incidentally, I have 4 GB RAM and only 1.38 GB was in use.
During the Analysis CPU shot from 6% to about 50%,
and Memory use climbed from 1.38 to 1.44 GB.
I reckon it would have no problem dealing with a 45 GB partition.

That's cool but this thread was/is about SyncToy

but Allway Sync and SyncBack have already been suggested.
I would also point out that your advice seems to be useless to pcunite,
in that he was dealing with an 8 GB partition and all you knew was that Synctoy worked with a few MB.
I was not telling you to use BestSync,
but I was advising pcunite on a valid, functional, and altogether better alternative to meet his needs.

I am running 2.1 for 64bit.
Question to everyone who has no problems with Synctoy: Do you have activated the feature which allows that files which will get overwritten or deleted will get saved in the recycle bin? This is very important for me to know, since it seems that the recycle bin is somehow causing the problems, because always when files get overwritten or deleted it says The recycle bin on E: is damaged. Do you want to delete it?(I already did some tests and it's definitely not broken and also all files are geting saved in there like they are supposed to) So please answer my question.
I also have no problems when I deactivate that feature but I want to keep the old versions of the files. So just telling me Synctoy works fine without telling me how you use it won't help me.

I thought hmm okay, I can just click no all the time the error shows up and live with the problem, but today Synctoy went too far. CPU usage went to 100% while it tried to delete a little file and it needed more RAM than available, so all my programs just closed and in the end my whole PC freezed. I'm very disappointed of this program, it's on place 2 of the worst, most confusing programs i've ever used (place 1 is nokia ovi suite), I will never use it again since it seems impossible to solve this problem and I guess microsoft will never release a new version again. I will use now the built in backup function.
Edit: Great, now the built in windows backup function can't find my stupid hard drive, even though it shows up in the browser.
Edit 2: I think this has something to do with truecrypt. I formatted my external hdd now and it finds it, but when I now want to create a backup and run it then it says Error, wrong parameters. This backup function is just a joke nothing works, can't even make a backup to a mounted truecrypt volume.

With the issues you're having I'd say something else is going on with Windows other than SyncToy.
You might want to do a system restore seeing you have a laptop.

Differential Forms
I'm always on the lookout for non-rigorous, 'pictorial' explanations of abstract mathematical topics. Because ones that are good, and also mostly correct, are difficult to find. And also I am not particularly fond of learning mathematics by plodding through theorems in a book. I find that only with the appropriate picture does a particularly daunting and abstract topic come into focus. And then plodding through the theorems is actually quite easy.
I found this short, but sweet introduction to differential forms, via the Googles. It must be good, because PageRank puts it on the first page.

Topology Apology
In lieu of actually delving into this, I'll just give a short description and let you go look it up on Wikipedia.
There's a way of classifying or generating seemingly complicated surfaces using a sort of surface (or shape, I guess) that isn't really that complicated.
The way you do it is this: Take one vector of the polygon, say the top A vector, and glue it head-to-head and tail-to-tail with the other A vector. Now do the same with the B vector. What you literally get is a kind of weird, oriented, triangular surface. In topology-land, of course, you can continuously deform this weird pseudo-prism into something we all know and love, namely a sphere. Or, in the fancy terms, you're utilizing a homotopy equivalence between the two surfaces. The same thing can be done for arbitrary surfaces, as well, provided they are also closed.
For example, here's a torus:
This is a neat way to visualize certain surfaces, especially when they cannot be embedded in three-dimensional space without self-intersections (such as the Klein bottle, or the real projective plane).

Homotopy Classes and the Fundamental Group
If you imagine a hole on a plane—say, a circular one with radius —as being an infinitely tall column rising above the plane, you can determine how many holes exist on that surface in the following natural way:
Suppose that you take a string, tie it into a loop, and lay it on the surface. If you can pull the loop in a free manner to any location on the surface without breaking it, then it must not loop around any of these columns. Suppose that every conceivable loop on this surface has the same property. Then that surface must logically not have any of these columns—i.e., it must not have any holes.

The Dangers of Visualizing Abstract Things
To follow on to my last post, a big part of visualizing abstract mathematics is, ironically, accepting that you can't completely visualize it. Sometimes you have to settle with what you know. For instance, you can imagine points in , which is the vector space of square-integrable functions. You just imagine or (the Euclidean spaces humans are most familiar with) and pretend that each point in that space represents a function. This isn't technically correct, since the inner product for is quite different from the Euclidean dot product. But it is a useful mnemonic.
Maybe I'm just a visual person, but if I don't have a picture.. any picture.. I just can't understand anything. It's much better, in my opinion, to have a picture that demonstrates or represents a single property of some abstract thing—even if all the other properties don't really match—than to have no picture whatsoever.
Let's enter rant mode for a second, though. Because I'm somewhat skeptical of the idea that these kinds of informal visualizations should be widely popularized à la Discovery/History Channel. I absolutely hate it when science popularization does not sufficiently caveat a technically incorrect analogy (which is not terribly difficult to do, I don't think). It's especially insidious coming out of textbooks. There's a level of understanding required to fully grasp certain analogies and ways of thinking about things. Without that knowledge, you're only getting a hint of a hint of what's going on, at best. At worst, you get quantum-wave-energy-photonic-crystal-tao-healing.
Now, 'technically incorrect' could mean a lot of things as you attempt to make such a caveat. I imagine it's real easy to be a snit about what constitutes 'correct', especially as you get to more and more complicated topics with very rigorous definitions and so forth. There's a popular way of making such caveats that's always satisfied me: "It's correct to a first approximation".
At the end of the day, asking the History Channel to do this sort of thing is probably a waste of time. Between all the science shows are the Jesus-UFO-Conspiracy shows featuring Ralph the Overly Dramatic Narrator. And you know they ain't gettin' no caveat. And even if they did, the only one apropos would be "I'M IN UR TV, MAKIN U DUMB".
Which should literally pop up every time you turn to the History Channel, in place of the H. And then there should be a little animation of a guy pointing and laughing on an infinite loop, you mindless cretin.
Shame on you, forever.

Visualizing Abstract Things
I've heard variants of this joke for a long time, and despite being vague, it's still kind of funny. And also completely true.
A mathematician and his best friend, an engineer, attend a public lecture on geometry in thirteen-dimensional space.
"How did you like it?" the mathematician wants to know after the talk.
"My head's spinning", the engineer confesses. "How can you develop any intuition for thirteen-dimensional space?"
"Well, it's not even difficult. All I do is visualize the situation in arbitrary N-dimensional space and then set N = 13."(Volker Runde)
Of course, one wonders why the public lecture is on thirteen-dimensional space in the first place if a generalization to N dimensions already exists. Details!

Well I've just been lying on my bed all day cause well in the past 2 weeks (not including this weeks work prior to the weekend of 32 hours 24 more to come over the weekend) 110 hours!! So I think I deserve a doing shite all day?
I've had a real shitty year that may finally be turning for the better so much so I've actually been able to buy music again for the first time in months & as music is my ultimate love (hope my wife & kids don't read this... come to think of it they give not a shit about my innermost thoughts!!) this is a good thing for me!!!
I've been meaning to blog a few things all day & well I haven't & well I woke up at 7.30 so it's not like I've been sleeping though its now 7pm!!
Anyway here is a blog I'm not a massive fan of Zygote & you can prob get their stuff around the web but fuck it I have been listening to a lot of Amebix recently (again ... who hasn't?) & well that's sort of led me onto doing a bit of Zygote as well!!
Anyway Stig is doing some solo work which you can listen to RIGHT HERE it's fucking awesome which reminds me I must buy it now I've a couple of quid finally!! He's put it up so he can hopefully one day make a record. For me it's like a follow on to Sonic Mass which I absolutely fucking love it's acoustic but I think the final songs when properly recorded with have drums etc.
I'm finally able to put up to date YOUTUBE video's on here !! So the vids are here as well :D
I really like Stig's vocals very gruff, different & individual I look forward very much to the future release. I have just purchased the songs off bandcamp by the way why don't you so we can make this happen!
Well this is a Zygote blog so here is the downloads for that hope you like it??

Sometimes you do that on purpose, though. E.g. you define a function that relies on a second function, and define the second function later. (rocketnia gives an example, but I'll proceed with this one anyway.)

(fast-expt-* a n 1 (fn (x y) (mod (* x y) m))))
#<procedure: mod-expt>

(xloop (a a n n tt one)
(if (is n 0)
(next (* a a) (/ n 2) tt)
(next a dec.n (* a tt)))))
Warning: ...
> The proposed changes are backwards-compatible with Arc 3.1, since all they attempt to do is provide sensible defaults for things that presently raise errors.
It is nice when you can introduce something without breaking old things. However, I think this thing is bad: it's fragile and shallow, and I think most programmers would just not use it and resent the time it took to understand it.
Imagine if, say, whenever mathematical operations (e.g. sqrt) were called with a list argument, then, instead of throwing an error, the function was instead applied to the car of the list. (Mapping it over the list is more likely to be useful; applying it to the average is also possible.) Or if the expression (a < b) evaluated to (< a b) when "a" evaluated to a number or anything else passable to the < function. Or if, whenever you used the variable "it" inside a then-expression in a call to "if", and "it" was otherwise unbound, it bound "it" to the if-expression (as in "aif")? Or why not all of these at once, and more?
In principle, you might be able to ignore extra little "features" like this. I think it'd annoy me, though--in the case of "sqrt" et al. being applied to lists, I'd probably think about it every time I dealt with math and lists (which I do a lot). It adds one more case to deal with to mentally evaluate any mathematical function call. The best thing that could happen is that I'd never use it, or encounter it in anyone else's code, and my mind would freed of the impulse to worry. But even if it was never used in correct code, I'd still have to think about it whenever I made a mistake and had to diagnose a problem.
By the way, perhaps you are just looking for something you'd use at the REPL, instead of a new language feature. Maybe a REPL with capabilities like Clisp's:
[1]> (+ 1 achtung)
*** - SYSTEM::READ-EVAL-PRINT: variable ACHTUNG has no value
The following restarts are available:
USE-VALUE :R1 Input a value to be used instead of ACHTUNG.
STORE-VALUE :R2 Input a new value for ACHTUNG.
ABORT :R3 Abort main loop
Break 1 [2]>
> Not any more insidious than the bugs you can get from an abuse of unhygienic macros or mutation though.
There's an entire style of programming devoted to minimizing and isolating mutation, and languages exist which try to disallow it entirely. There has been a lot of work done about trying to implement hygienic macros. But these things are useful enough that it's difficult to get rid of them entirely (mutation more so; many languages don't have macros at all). This idea seems it would make every variable reference (in foreign code) and every global assignment (in code you write) a potential headache, and the payoff seems to me almost zero.
> Sometimes you do that on purpose, though. E.g. you define a function that relies on a second function, and define the second function later. (rocketnia gives an example, but I'll proceed with this one anyway.)

I can't remember the last time I intentionally wrote code that didn't conform to this principle. And if you're willing to write your code this way, then it eliminates the largest problems you all have identified with quote inference. But you and rocketnia seem to place value on being able reference functions before they've been defined. So while I would be willing to trade that ability for implicit quotation, it seems you would prefer the reverse.
Have I misrepresented your views here?
[1] http://awwx.posterous.com/how-to-future-proof-your-code
[2] Where line n is any point in your code that's not inside of a definition.
> But you and rocketnia seem to place value on being able reference functions before they've been defined. So while I would be willing to trade that ability for implicit quotation, it seems you would prefer the reverse.
It is true that I'd prefer being able to permute my definitions over having implicit quotation, but that's by far not my only reason for disliking the idea. As I said, it's a fragile, shallow add-on feature that would confuse me (by giving me weird results for erroneous code) and that would make code harder for me to reason about (whenever I see a variable reference, either that refers to something that's been defined, OR it refers to a symbol! and I can establish the latter only by ensuring that it's not defined anywhere).
By the way, why do you think this feature is a good idea? I find two quotes that seem to suggest your reasoning:
1. "My sense is that something like this would rate highly in both complexity of implementation and convenience for programming." How do you get this sense? Do you write a lot of code that uses quoted symbols? Let's take a count in my big fat Arc file:
$ grep -o "'" a | wc -l
$ egrep -o "[^' ()]" a | wc -l
$ egrep -o "[a-zA-Z-+$*/]+" a | wc -l
2. "I just think we're missing out on such valuable real estate here!" See the paragraphs in my grandparent post beginning with "Imagine if" and "In principle". Tacking things on just because you can isn't a good idea.
You can do it by extending one of them:
(def foo ())
(def bar () (foo))
(extend foo () t (bar))
> add-on feature
Not sure what you mean by "add-on". Is xs.0 list access an add-on? This is whatever that is.
> why do you think this feature is a good idea?
It could unify the "." and "!" ssyntaxes to some degree by allowing table access with h.k instead of h!k in most cases. alists that you presently have to express with '((x 1) (y 2)) could be contracted to (x.1 y.2).
I haven't worked out all the useful applications of this yet but I'm finding it interesting and think there's some potential.
> fragile, shallow [...] Tacking things on just because you can isn't a good idea.
I'm generally disappointed by your flamey response to my interest in exploring a core language possibility that could make arc programs shorter. Your ideas and even complete disagreement are very welcome, but your overall tone is insulting. Perhaps I misread you.
I'm sorry, my intent wasn't to insult you. (I'm glad you explained that, though.) I thought my words were clear. Let me explain:
I called the idea "fragile" because it would be easy to break code that depended on it--just by defining a new variable. You suggested a thing that would warn upon defining a previously-used-as-unquoted-symbol variable, but rocketnia and I brought up cases where the warning would be a false positive. I considered a more sophisticated warning system--one that had some kind of mechanical procedure for guessing whether an unbound variable was supposed to be an unquoted symbol or a function to be defined later--one that required the programmer to follow one naming scheme for unquoted symbols and another for functions to be defined later. My conclusion was that for this system to work, the programmer would basically have to tiptoe around it and be very careful, or else things would break. Hence, I thought the word "fragile" was appropriate, and used it.
I called it "shallow" because the maximum benefit, in the best possible case, is that you don't have to type the ' character most of the time. Contrast this with, say, learning to use lists when you're used to naming every single variable. Not only does it become easier to, say, compute the sum of the cubes of five numbers, but you can write a single function to compute the sum of the cubes of any number of numbers! And then you can make matrices--again, referencing them with a single variable--and writing a single function to deal with n x n matrices for all n! Without lists or other compound data structures, it'd seem really hard and annoying just to deal with 2 x 2 matrices, and 10 x 10 would seem impossible. There are deep and rich benefits to using compound data structures. But the only thing this unquoted symbols idea can possibly be good for is letting you omit the ' character; I therefore thought the word "shallow" was a good descriptor.
Regarding "Tacking things on just because you can isn't a good idea". Your motivation seemed like it might be, at least partially, something like this: "We can get strictly greater functionality out of Arc if we take some things that are errors and assign them a meaning in the language. Therefore, we should do it. Let's start looking for error cases we can replace with functionality!" Your comment "I just think we're missing out on such valuable real estate here!" added weight to this interpretation. And so I attacked it with a reductio ad absurdum, giving several examples of how one might "add functionality" in this way. I hoped to show that the line of reasoning "You get strictly greater functionality, therefore it can't be a bad idea" was wrong. I summed it up by saying "Tacking things on just because you can isn't a good idea."
> I'm not saying this is a better way to define mutually recursive functions. Just pointing out that it's possible.
And there are other ways to do it[0]. But it would be impossible to do it by just writing (def foo () (bar)) and (def bar () (foo)) and putting them in the right order. Hence, this idea would make such programs more complex/verbose. (Eh, perhaps you could set up a warning system and teach it to recognize mutual recursion. I think learning about this would distract the programmer somewhat, which isn't by itself a deal-breaker but is an undesirable aspect. I suspect there are more cases yet to be covered; and you'd still have to order your definitions properly--I don't think a compiler without psychic abilities could always tell what you were going to define later; and even if you were warned when you made a function with a conflicting name, it'd be annoying to have to give your function a new name, or to change the code that used that name.)
> alists that you presently have to express with '((x 1) (y 2)) could be contracted to (x.1 y.2).
Incidentally, I do find it annoying to type out a lot of such things, and I have a routine for dealing with that. Perhaps you'd find it sufficient? So whenever I want to make a big alist, I do something like this:
(tuples 2 '(Jan 1 Feb 2 Mar 3 Apr 4 May 5 Jun 6
Jul 7 Aug 8 Sep 9 Oct 10 Nov 11 Dec 12))
;instead of '((Jan 1) (Feb 2) ...)
Oh, and, by the way, if ssyntax were implemented at the reader level--which I think it should be; I think the current situation is just a hack that will be changed eventually--you could write '((x 1) (y 2)) as '(x.1 y.2). [I see you address this in a sister post.]
And this example suggests that your intent goes beyond merely having unbound symbols evaluate to themselves. In my post I cite at the top of this thread, I addressed problems with trying to have ((x 1) (y 2)) evaluate as '((x 1) (y 2)).
> make arc programs shorter.
That is a worthy goal, one I'd forgotten about. It's good that you brought it up. I suppose the shortness of a program is kind of a good static measure, whereas objections like "It'd confuse me" are usually only temporary, and the programmer gets used to it.
But I do believe that a) using it would create either horrible risks of breaking things or annoying false-positive compiler warnings, b) therefore I'd never use it, so it wouldn't actually make my programs any shorter, and c) it would, inevitably, make debugging harder--instead of UNBOUND-VARIABLE errors I'd get diverse results, depending on precisely what happens when a symbol is put in the place of the unbound variable.
Now, (c) also applies to having xs.0 list/table/string reference work. But (a) and (b) don't. I do use it[1], and relying on it doesn't cause any problems like the fragility I've described. And the payoffs are pretty good. Many things are significantly shorter--e.g. m.i.j for reaching into a matrix, instead of (aref m i j) or, worse, (vector-ref (vector-ref m i) j).[2] The error-obfuscation objection still applies, but I think the benefits override the objection.
[0] I was thinking you could define them in the same lexical context:
(with (foo-val nil bar-val nil)
(= foo-val (fn () (bar-val))
bar-val (fn () (foo-val))
foo foo-val
bar bar-val))
[2] I was going to add: "And since I don't need to specify the type of the data structure, sometimes I or my code can forget that detail. I could change matrices to be implemented as nested hash tables or vectors, and m.i.j would still be correct." However, this part could be done with a unified "ref" function that reached into all data structures.
My reply has been delayed because I wanted to respond to a lot of your points in detail. I haven't found time to do that yet, but I thought I should at least say this before waiting any longer.
Is there a general interest in moving ssyntax functionality to the reader? I've found some past discussions about it but wanted to know the present sentiment.
If ssyntax was processed at the reader-level, it would help in this particular scenario because then '(x.1 y.2) could evaluate to ((x 1) (y 2)) instead of (x.1 y.2).
In the Arc runtime project, that was my assumption behind my choosing my matching library to implement the reader in Arc. The matching library is way more powerful than what would be needed to simply replace the Racket reader as-is; the goal is that when people want to experiment with different kinds of syntaxes or with extending ssyntax to work in more cases it will be easy to do.
In education, lots of the time new topics are built upon the foundations the old topics provided, but sometimes they're built upon established motivations and provide all-new foundations, like an analysis course justifying the calculus courses that came before it, or a mechanics course casting Newton's laws in a new light.
For me, the motivation comes pretty early on relative to the implementation. I could decide to put the main control flow algorighm at the top to set the stage for the rest, or I could decide to arrange things according to the order they'll be applied--or in fact I might like having them in the reverse order, the order in which they're needed to get the result from more and more convenient starting positions. That last strategy is probably closest to dependencies-come-first coding, but I don't want to be limited to it, even if I risk choosing a frustratingly haphazard strategy.
[1] http://github.com/awwx/ar now keeps tests in a separate file. Does that weaken the case for defining things before using them? Perhaps you could define your tests bottom-up but write your code top-down, or something.
I still want to try out a test harness that analyzes dependencies and runs tests bottom-up: http://arclanguage.org/item?id=12721. That way you could write your tests in any order and they'd execute in the most convenient order, with test failures at low levels not triggering noisy failures from higher-level code.
[2] http://arclanguage.org/item?id=13219
Not by design, as it happens. I wrote some new tests for code written in Arc, and stuck them into a separate file because I hadn't gotten around to implementing a mechanism to load Arc code without running the tests.
Though I do view writing dependencies-first as a form of scaffolding. You may need or want scaffolding for safety, or because you're working on a large project, or because you're in the midst of rebuilding.
Does that mean that you always need to use scaffolding when you work on a project? Of course not. If you're getting along fine without scaffolding, then you don't need to worry about it.
Nor, just because you might need scaffolding in the future, does it mean that you have to build it right now. For example, if I had some code that I wanted to rebase to work on top of a different library, and it wasn't in dependency order, and it looked like the rebasing work might be hard, I'd probably put my code into dependency order first to make the task either. But, if I thought the rebasing was going to be easy, I might not bother. If I ran into trouble, then perhaps I'd backtrack, build my scaffolding, and try again.
I have effectively the same resolution, but only 'cause of Not Invented Here syndrome. :-p Nah, I use plenty of libraries; they just happen to be the "libraries" that implement Arc. I use all kinds of those. :-p
http://github.com/awwx/ar now keeps tests in a separate file. Does that weaken the case for defining things before using them?
That file is loaded after the things it depends on, right?
...you could write your tests in any order and they'd execute in the most convenient order, with test failures at low levels not triggering noisy failures from higher-level code.
I'm not sure I understand. Do you mean if I define 'foo and then call 'foo in the process of defining 'bar (perhaps because 'foo is a macro), then the error message I get there will be less comprehensible than if I had run a test on 'foo before trying to define 'bar?
In any case, aw's post mostly struck me as a summary of something I'd already figured out but hadn't put into words: If a single program has lots of dependencies to manage, it helps to let the more independent parts of the program bubble together toward the top, and--aw didn't say this--things which bubble to the top are good candidates for skimming off into independent libraries. If you're quick enough to skim them off, the bubbling-to-the-top can happen mentally.
Lathe has been built up this way from the beginning, basically. It's just that the modules are automatically managed, and it acts as a dependency tree with more than one leaf at the "top," rather than something like yrc or Wart with a number on every file.
I'm interested in making a proper unit test system for Lathe, so we may looking for the same kinds of unit test dependency management, but I'm not sure yet about many things, like whether I want the tests to be inline or not.
Well, Lathe has an examples/ directory, which I've ended up using for unit tests. It's kind of interesting. Lathe's unit tests have become just like its modules over time, except that they print things to tell you about their status. Being a module, an example automatically loads all its dependencies, and you can load it up and play around with the things defined in it at the REPL, which is occasionally useful for debugging the example itself. But it's pretty ad-hoc right now, and I don't, for instance, write applications so that they load examples as they start up, like you might do.
If bar depends on foo (foo can be function or macro), and some tests for foo fail, then it's mostly pointless to run the tests for bar.
"That file is loaded _after_ the things it depends on, right?"
Yeah well, you gotta load code before you can run the tests for it :)
My understanding of aw's point was this: if you load your code bottom-up, then you can test things incrementally as you define them, and isolate breakage faster. Defining the tests after their code is irrelevant to the argument because it's hard to imagine an alternative.
If you put your tests in a separate file and run them after all the code has been loaded, you can still order them bottom-up. So to answer my own question, no, keeping the tests in a separate file doesn't weaken aw's argument :)
Of course you can probably tell whether code is in prerequisite order just by looking at it, so this may not add much value.
Something I've been thinking about, though I haven't implemented anything yet, is that there's code, and then there's things related to that code such as prerequisites, documents, examples, tests, etc. The usual practice is to stick everything into the source code file: i.e., we start off with some require's or import's to list the prerequisites, doc strings inline with the function definition, and, in my case, tests following the definition because I wanted the tests to run immediately after the definition.
But perhaps it would be better to be able to have things in separate files. I could have a file of tests, and the tests for my definition of "foo" would be marked as tests for "foo".
Then, for example, if I happened to want to run my tests in strict dependency order, I could load my code up to and including my definition of foo, and then run my tests for foo.
In java or rails each class file gets a corresponding test file in a parallel directory tree. I find it too elaborate, but it does permit this sort of testing classes in isolation.
One reason to favor the dependencies-first approach in Arc is that we have mutability.
If you're only doing single assignment and side effect-free programming, then your code doesn't have a significant order [1]. But insofar as your program is imperative and performing mutations, the order is significant.
A consequence of this is that if you want to be able to take advantage of imperative features, you're making it harder by ordering your code any other way. I say this because even if your code is purely functional right now, when you try to insert some imperative code later, the order is going to start mattering more. And it's going to start seeming tangled and confused if it doesn't build up in the order of execution (at least it does for me).
So dependencies-first programming plays especially well with imperative code. I'm also particularly interested in it at this moment because I'm working on a refined auto-quote mechanism that could be hard to take advantage of if you're not programming this way. ;)

As of 2014, some good games that teach kids about cell biology are "Cell Explorer: Animal Cells," "CellCraft" and "Cell Defense: The Plasma Membrane." Children can play these games online for free. "Cell Explorer: Animal Cells" and "Cell Defense: The Plasma Membrane" are also available as apps for the iPhone.
In "Cell Explorer: Animal Cells," children learn about cell biology as they navigate the game in a mini ship inside an animal. The game offers several missions to learn about animal cells. As the players shoot at different parts of the cell, they see a summary of that part of the cell and must answer a question to continue on their mission.
"CellCraft" teaches children about cell biology as they build their own cells in the game. Children get to enlarge and move the cell around the screen. As they do, additional parts of the cell are added to the player's single-cell organism. When a new part arrives, the game shows a description of the cell part before adding it. Players must add specific parts in the correct order.
Children learn the parts of a cell's membrane in "Cell Defense: The Plasma Membrane." After an attack on the cell's membrane, the players must help make a new membrane by adding the correct parts of the membrane in the correct order to rebuild the missing section.

Barack Hussein Obama's camp has already refused to allow babies, toddlers or old ladies with umbrellas to attend his inauguration ceremonies in D.C. on Jan. 20.
Damon Weaver, 10, a reporter for KEC TV news in Palm Beach, Florida was disappointed to learn his media credential application was denied.
With about $8,000 in donations, Damon, his K.E. Cunningham/Canal Point Elementary School teacher Brian Zimmerman, a student cameraman and two parents will travel to D.C. Jan. 18 to prepare for a KEC-TV special inauguration broadcast.
Zimmerman said Democratic Congressman Alcee Hastings of Miramar has agreed to give Damon three of the 197 tickets he was allotted, which will put the group in front of the Capitol for the ceremony. (LINK)
But the fifth grader will not be allowed to cover the inauguration up close and personal.
And, before you say, "everybody can't get a credential" — this kid is not just anybody.
He became a national sensation and a YouTube favorite after landing a coveted interview with Obama's sidekick Sen. Joe Biden during the presidential campaign.
At the end of the interview, Weaver quipped: "Senator Biden is now my homeboy."

Assessment-based Individualized Learning
Every educational movement needs a catchy new acronym. ABIL will have to do: Assessment-based Individualized Learning. Simply put, it's the supplemental instruction students need to catch up while they keep up with grade-level instruction.
What It's Not
- ABIL is nothing new. Teachers have been doing it forever.
- It's not about creating individual educational plans for every student.
- It's not a replacement for rigorous Standards-based, grade-level instruction.
- It's not funky differentiated instruction.
- It's not one teaching methodology: small groups, lit circles, writers workshop, learning centers, etc.
- Impossible or unmanageable.
What It Is
- Foundational content, concepts, and skills that every student needs to access rigorous Standards-based, grade-level instruction.
- Reliable and valid diagnostic assessments to determine individual student mastery and deficits in those prerequisites. Assessments which are comprehensive and teachable–not random samples. For example, what reading and English-language arts teacher cares about learning that Johnny has some sight word deficits? Good teachers want to know precisely which sight words Johnny kn0ws and does not know to be able to efficiently teach to Johnny's specific needs.
- Reading assessments: upper and lower case alphabet, syllable awareness, syllable rhyming, phonemic isolation, phonemic blending, phonemic segmenting, outlaw words, rimes, sight syllables, word recognition level, short vowel sound-spellings, long vowel sound-spellings, vowel digraph sound-spellings, vowel diphthong sound-spellings, silent final e, consonant sound-spellings, consonant blend sound-spellings, consonant digraph sound-spellings. Reading fluency level, word recognition level, instructional reading level.
- Previous grade-level spelling assessment: Every spelling pattern and conventional spelling rule.
- Previous grade-level grammar, usage, and mechanics assessments.
- Curriculum which directly corresponds to each assessment item with progress monitoring matrices to ensure student mastery and is conducive to concurrent instruction in grade-level Standards.
- The key ingredient of RtI (Response to Intervention) besides quality, accessible grade-level instruction.
- What special ed and ELD students need most.
- How you would want your own child taught with rigorous grade-level instruction and individualized learning to remediate any relative weaknesses.
The author of this article, Mark Pennington, provides assessments and curricular resources to implement Assessment-based Individualized Learning. Want to check out the curriculum? Click here. Want to download the assessments, answers, and recording matrices described above for your students?

Ottawa restaurant entrepreneur Stephen Beckta and executive chef Michael Moffatt's newest venture Gezellig (gah-zell-ig), named after the Dutch adjective for convivial, is both comfortable and inspiring with its modern menu and cozy atmosphere. Located in a converted 1950s bank building in Westboro, just a few minutes west from downtown Ottawa, the restaurant specializes in big plates designed to be shared, such as the St. Louis back ribs with swiss chard, cherry tomatoes, grilled peppers, and butter-fried cornbread. The menu gets inspiration from around the world, including the wine pairings, while still making an effort to support local producers.

Google's architectural overview — an introduction to Google's inner workings
Google keeps tweaking its search engine, and now it is more important than ever to better understand its inner workings.
Google lured Mr. Manber from Amazon last year. When he arrived and began to look inside the company's black boxes, he says, that he was surprised that Google's methods were so far ahead of those of academic researchers and corporate rivals.
While Google closely guards its secret sauce, for many obvious reasons, it is possible to build a pretty solid picture of Google's engine. In order to do this we are going to start by carefully dissecting Google's original engine: How Google was conceived back in 1998. Although a newborn baby, it had all the basic elements it needed to survive in the web world.
The plan is to study how it worked originally, and follow all the published research papers and patents in order to put together the missing pieces. It is going to be very interesting.
Google has added and improved many things over the years. The original paper only describes the workings of the web search engine. Missing features are the ability to search news, images, documents (PDF, word, etc.), video, products, addresses, books, patents, maps, blogs, etc.
Also missing are substantial improvements such as local search, mobile search, personalized search, universal search, supplemental index, freshness, spam detection and PageRank improvements. Some things that will be hard to know is how Google uses the data it collects through other services, like Google Toolbar, Google Analytics, Google Adsense, Doubleclick, Gmail, Gtalk, Feedburner, etc. There is a lot of information that can be used both for better ads and for better search results.
No matter the type of search you are conducting, conceptually, search engines have three key components: the crawler, the indexer and the searcher.
The crawler's (also known as a search engine robot) job is to collect all the information that will be later searched. Whether it's images, video, text or RSS feeds. These documents are stored for later processing by the indexer module. Webmasters and site owners can control how crawlers access their websites via a robots.txt file and the robots exclusion protocol. In this file you basically tell the crawler what pages or sections it is not allowed to crawl. I posted an entry about this several days ago.
The indexer module is the one doing the heavy lifting. It has the daunting task of carefully organizing the information collected by the crawler. The power of the search engine is on this specific task. Depending on how well classified the information is – the faster and the better the search. Search engines conceptually classify documents similar to the way you file documents on a cabinet. Without some sort of labeling you will probably waste a lot time finding your bank statements, notes, etc. Search engines label documents in a way that makes it easy for them to find them later by words or phrases (also known as keywords). In the case of text and similar documents the indexer breaks down the document in words and collects some additional information about those words, such as the frequency of the word in the document.
The searcher module is the one that takes the user search, cleans it to remove ambiguities, misspellings, etc., finds the documents in the index that more closely match the search, and rank them according to the current ranking formula. The ranking formula is the most closely guarded secret of all major commercial search engines.
These basic components remain the same nowadays, but they say that the devil is on the details. Today, Google's inner workings are far more complex than what I am going to explain, but the basic principles are the same. I will quote the original paper as necessary.
There is quite a bit of recent optimism that the use of more hypertextual information can help improve search and other applications [Marchiori 97] [Spertus 97] [Weiss 96] [Kleinberg 98]. In particular, link structure [Page 98] and link text provide a lot of information for making relevance-related assessements and quality filtering. Google makes use of both link structure and anchor text (see Sections 2.1 and 2.2).
One notable improvement Google brought to the commercial search markeplace was the use of link structure and anchor/link text to improve the quality of results. This proved to be a significant factor that helped fuel their growth. Today, these elements remain significant, but Google makes use of very sophisticated filters to detect most attempts at manipulation. Proof that they remain signifficant are the successful Google bombs of late.
To support novel research uses, Google stores all of the actual documents it crawls in compressed form
Here is the reference to their caching feature we are acostumed to use.
Now, let's see how they define PageRank — how important or high quality are pages for Google's search engine.
…a page can have a high PageRank if there are many pages that point to it, or if there are some pages that point to it and have a high PageRank. Intuitively, pages that are well cited from many places around the web are worth looking at. Also, pages that have perhaps only one citation from something like the Yahoo! homepage are also generally worth looking at. If a page was not high quality, or was a broken link, it is quite likely that Yahoo's homepage would not link to it. PageRank handles both these cases and everything in between by recursively propagating weights through the link structure of the web.
Here is a clear description of why they use anchor text for searching.
The text of links is treated in a special way in our search engine. Most search engines associate the text of a link with the page that the link is on. In addition, we associate it with the page the link points to. This has several advantages. First, anchors often provide more accurate descriptions of web pages than the pages themselves. Second, anchors may exist for documents which cannot be indexed by a text-based search engine, such as images, programs, and databases. This makes it possible to return web pages which have not actually been crawled. Note that pages that have not been crawled can cause problems, since they are never checked for validity before being returned to the user. In this case, the search engine can even return a page that never actually existed, but had hyperlinks pointing to it. However, it is possible to sort the results, so that this particular problem rarely happens.
Now, let's read about on-page elements that Google considered that were not in regular use back then. Pro
mity, capitalization and font weight, and page caching.
Aside from PageRank and the use of anchor text, Google has several other features. First, it has location information for all hits and so it makes extensive use of proximity in search. Second, Google keeps track of some visual presentation details such as font size of words. Words in a larger or bolder font weigh heavier than other words. Third, full raw HTML of pages is available in a repository.
Now let's see have a big picture view as to how everything fits together. This is very technical, but I will try to explain it the best I can.
In Google, the web crawling (downloading of web pages) is done by several distributed crawlers. There is a URLserver that sends lists of URLs to be fetched to the crawlers. The web pages that are fetched are then sent to the storeserver. The storeserver then compresses and stores the web pages into a repository. Every web page has an associated ID number called a docID which is assigned whenever a new URL is parsed out of a web page. The indexing function is performed by the indexer and the sorter. The indexer performs a number of functions. It reads the repository, uncompresses the documents, and parses them. Each document is converted into a set of word occurrences called hits. The hits record the word, position in document, an approximation of font size, and capitalization. The indexer distributes these hits into a set of "barrels", creating a partially sorted forward index. The indexer performs another important function. It parses out all the links in every web page and stores important information about them in an anchors file. This file contains enough information to determine where each link points from and to, and the text of the link.
The URLresolver reads the anchors file and converts relative URLs into absolute URLs and in turn into docIDs. It puts the anchor text into the forward index, associated with the docID that the anchor points to. It also generates a database of links which are pairs of docIDs. The links database is used to compute PageRanks for all the documents.
The sorter takes the barrels, which are sorted by docID (this is a simplification, see Section 4.2.5), and resorts them by wordID to generate the inverted index. This is done in place so that little temporary space is needed for this operation. The sorter also produces a list of wordIDs and offsets into the inverted index. A program called DumpLexicon takes this list together with the lexicon produced by the indexer and generates a new lexicon to be used by the searcher. The searcher is run by a web server and uses the lexicon built by DumpLexicon together with the inverted index and the PageRanks to answer queries.
Google uses distributed crawlers/downloaders. If you have ever looked at your server log files you will notice that when Googlebot is visiting your site you will see hits coming from different IPs. That is because the crawling is distributed among several computers. They need a URL server to feed the URLs to download, to the crawlers, because the URL server is the one coordinating the crawling efforts.
All the urls are sent to the storeserver for compression and storage and are assigned an ID (doctID). For computers, it is easier and more efficient to use numbers to refer to things.
The indexers does some heavy work:
- Reads, uncompresses and parses documents. Converts documents into hits (word ocurrences)
- Creates partially sorted forwarded indices.
- Create anchors file (link text, and to and from links). URLResolver fixes relative URLs and assigns docIDs.
- Include anchor text in forward index but using the link it points to as the docID. Associates the text in the link to the document it points to.
- Maintains a link databases used to compute PageRanks
- Generates a lexicon–the list of all different words in the index
Basically, the forward index allows you to find the words of a document given the docID. In order to be useful for searching, this needs to be inverted. ie.: find documents by the words. The sorter does this addtional step, by assisting the indexer in creating an inverted index that uses wordIDs as keys to the docIDs. The inverted index includes the offsets and list of words. Dumplexicon is used to update the lexicon used by the searcher.
Finally, the searcher combines the lexicon, the inverted index and the PageRanks to respond the queries.
Next, I'll describe each of the processes in more detail. Can't wait? Read the document yourself and draw your own conclusions 🙂

The Shortlist for Feb. 21
Pharrell Williams is auctioning off that wacky Grammys hat"Hey @Arbys, you want my hat? Now's your chance." That's how a coy Pharrell Williams announced on Twitter that he's selling the poufy, brown, Vivienne Westwood-designed hat he wore at the Grammys. (The Arby's reference was a jab at the fast food joint's Grammy night Twitter joke that it wanted the hat from its logo back.) Proceeds from the giant lid's sale are slated to go towards Pharrell's charity, From One Hand to Another, which provides resources for underserved kids. People reports bids were up to $10,500 as of Friday morning, and will remain open through March 2. RELATED: Fashion hits and misses: The 2014 Grammy Awards© Microsoft

Calling Me Home – Julie KiblerPosted in American Fiction, Historical Fiction on May 29th, 2013 by admin – 9 Comments
Pan Books an imprint of Pan Macmillan
Publication date
20th June 2013
My Rating
4.5 stars
Calling Me Home is a remarkable debut novel, a story which will draw you in and lead you on an emotionally fraught journey from a racially divided 1930s Kentucky to the "supposedly" more liberal present day. There is also a physical journey, a road trip across the states, as black hairdresser, Dorrie Curtis escorts her elderly white client, Miss Isabelle, to a funeral. As they draw closer to their destination, Isabelle gradually reveals a secret, forbidden love, one which has haunted her since she was sixteen.
The journey is therapeutic for both ladies, especially for Dorrie who learns from Isabelle's experience that you must seize whatever happiness life offers you no matter how fleeting the opportunity. I was engrossed by their stories and I was impressed with the author's control of such emotional themes, never straying into mawkishness or over-sentimentality.
A compelling read, dare I say as good as The Help, if not better…and it would make a beautiful movie too!

The future of more than one white-collar criminal will be affected when Ivan Boesky is sentenced today. For the last year, the former stock arbitrager has been feeding government investigators information about his colleagues' trading activities. His unprecedented revelations have given the government fodder for at least 12 investigations, targeting some big names on Wall Street.
Today Mr. Boesky and other people facing investigation find out just how much government cooperation is worth.
Boesky was allowed to plead guilty to a single felony charge for insider trading activity, meaning that at most he could spend five years in jail and pay a penalty of $250,000. He has already agreed to pay $100 million in civil penalties in a settlement with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).
But regardless of how US District Judge Morris Lasker rules, ``a signal has already been sent: You're rewarded for cooperation,'' says Paul Fischer, a private lawyer in Washington and a former SEC official. (Credibility wanted on Wall Street, Page 21).
The Boesky sentencing is unique, says Joseph Auerbach, because prosecutors have advised the court at great length about the value of Boesky's testimony. The government has recommended leniency.
``This tells the judge that Boesky has done a lot for the government,'' says Mr. Auerbach, who is counsel to Sullivan & Worcester, a Boston law firm, and professor emeritus at Harvard. Indeed, the extent of Boesky's cooperation has delayed sentencing four months.
In sentencing Boesky, Judge Lasker needs to strike a countervailing balance, says John Olson, a partner at Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher in Washington. ``If the sentence is too light, there will be less of a deterrent for people to cooperate,'' Mr. Olson says. ``If it is too heavy, prosecutors may have a hard time getting cooperation.'' He, like other securities lawyers, thinks Boesky will get between two and three years in jail.
Beyond Boesky's sentencing, the future for insider traders may also depend on how Congress and the new Supreme Court justice act. Next year, Congress is expected to pass a law tightening the definition of insider trading. And the new court justice could be the swing vote in interpreting securities law.
With Boesky's cooperation, government investigators were quickly able to elicit guilty pleas from heavy hitters like takeover specialist Martin Siegel, at Kidder, Peabody & Co., and Boyd Jefferies, former chairman of Jefferies & Co.
Then last May, the government's investigation stalled when prosecutors withdrew charges against three arbitragers, on the grounds that they needed more information to develop a case. In addition, rumors of investigations have been swirling around Michael Milken, chief of junk bonds at Drexel Burnham Lambert; corporate raider Carl Icahn; and arbitrager John Mulheren, head of Jamie Securities Inc. No charges have been brought against these men.
Tape recorded evidence helped win some quick prosecutions early on, notes Richard Phillips, a partner at Kirkpatrick & Lockhart, a Washington law firm. One of those was stockbroker Dennis Levine, who later fingered Boesky. ``The government could get Levine, Boesky, and Siegel cold.''
But when the government tried to prosecute other cases, it found that tapes were not as incriminating. ``The prosecution jumped the gun in the case of the three arbitragers,'' Mr. Phillips says. ``This has made law enforcement officials more cautious, and they have resorted to painstaking investigations, poring through thousands of documents and interviewing hundreds of witnesses.''
The case of R. Foster Winans, a former Wall Street Journal reporter, is a promising but ambiguous tool for prosecutors. The US Supreme Court last month upheld a lower court's verdict that Mr. Winans misappropriated, or stole, sensitive property by leaking information in his ``Heard on the Street'' column.
The ruling gives prosecutors more leverage in using the mail- and wire-fraud statutes, but the court was split when it came to the misappropriation theory, a cornerstone in the government's insider-trading prosecution.
Enter Judge Anthony Kennedy, who is expected to be confirmed a Supreme Court justice in February. Although Judge Kennedy has not specifically ruled on this kind of insider-trading case, securities lawyers say he is likely to be receptive to upholding government prosecution.
It may take at least two years before a similar case works its way to the Supreme Court, however. In the meantime, says Leo Herzel, a securities lawyer at Mayer, Brown & Platt, a Washington law firm, ``The most likely outcome of the Winans decision is that there will be a statutory rule to clear [the ambiguity] all up.''
Congress is moving in that direction. Sens. Donald Riegle (D) of Michigan and Alfonse D'Amato (R) of New York have introduced a bill that would specifically define insider trading, including the theory of misappropriation.
SEC chairman David Ruder has broken with his predecessors and come out in support of a specific definition. ``Insider trading is a natural outcome of human greed, and it is something which is very hard to find,'' he told Congress this week.
Because the definition is vague, prosecutors usually have to base their cases on circumstantial evidence. ``It is the rare case in which we have a confession or an indication by others that they have participated with or observed insider trading,'' he added.
To the chagrine of his colleagues, Boesky did both. ``Obviously he was the spider who started the web,'' observes Tamar Frankel, a professor of law at Boston University. ``And he was the first to destroy it to help the government. Boesky was helpful, but a lot of people paid for it - their lives are finished.''

1. - The device
"INIRIDA DEEP FLOW" (IDF) is a hardware-software tool that operates in a real-time fashion, using both conductivity and fluorescence probes simultaneously. It is an advanced graphical instrument which provides hydraulic, mass transport and geomorphology information. It also provides an indication of when the tracer is in "Complete mixing condition". This complete package is a very useful tool for water quality studies. It takes advantage of an easy to use Cyclops-7 fluorescence probe. Additionally, this system has a digital interface which can be interfaced with a pocket computer.
2. - The IDF usage:
The images below illustrate how the IDF was used in a large mountain river in Colombia. In this experiment, we used a current meter to compare results.
3. - Measurement Results:
The IDF calculates a theoretically Non Fickian curve which can be compared with experimental curve (Left). The discharge is calculated by conservation of mass principle (right). Rhodamine WT injections were of M=4 grams at several distances.
Current meter discharge measurements in the table below are "QCm" and IDF measurements are "Q". The IDF also provides mean velocity flow information.
The over-all accuracy was 90%. Field report was released in two days.

FROM foie gras to pigs' trotters or lobster, name your delicacy, and it's been on the table here - literally and figuratively.
American chef Julia Child and more than 150 other cooking experts from around the world gathered here for a week of eating - and talking about it.
It's not just a pig-out for writers, restaurateurs, teachers, and cook-shop owners. This is the first time the 2,500-member International Association of Culinary Professionals (IACP) has held its annual meeting in this gastronomic capital. Others have been in Washington, San Francisco, Mexico, and Italy.
"This is our great foodie bash of the year," says Ethel Hofman of Merion Station, Pennsylvania, the IACP president. The prestigious event is centered at the Lutetia Hotel, with gastronomic celebrations at the top cooking schools: the Cordon Bleu, the Ritz-Escoffier, Princess Marie-Blanche de Broglie's Cuisine de Marie-Blanche, and workshop visits around town.
"They've flown in from all over - mainly the US, but also Japan, Australia, Italy, and Norway," said Andre Cointreau, owner of the Cordon Bleu, who hosted a big reception Sunday night to open the conference.
"I began my cooking with the Cordon Bleu in the late 1940s," recalled Mrs. Child, the doyenne of cuisine in America and author of "Mastering the Art of French Cooking."
ASTALWART food lover, Child has been participating in as many events as possible of the dozens offered, including a trip to the huge central food market, Les Halles at Rungis near Orly airport. It gets produce from France and all over the world, and dispatches it all over Europe. This meant starting out at 4:45 a.m.
Child marched around for about five hours, "and it felt like 10 kilometers," she said. "But it was fascinating, particularly the fish and vegetable sections. I saw vegetables and fruits I'd never seen or heard of before."
Dozens of workshops offer everything from a visit to a chocolate-maker to a tasting in the Ritz Hotel's Hemingway bar. Child chose the luxury grocer-restaurateur-caterer, Fauchon, and found it a real eye-opener.
"You can always learn something," she said, impressed by the operation run by executive chef Jean-Pierre Clement, particularly the reconstitution of a duck, stuffed with foie gras and cubed for cocktail servings.
The IACP's lectures and discussions are led by cookbook writer and restaurant critic for the International Herald Tribune, Patricia Wells, along with Alexandre Lazareffof the Conseil National des Arts Culinaires.

HISTORY may have shown that Bonfire Night is traditionally a rewarding time for Doncaster Rovers, but it is another set of figures which are troubling Darren Ferguson.
Rovers, who head west to face Oldham in the FA Cup at Boundary Park for the fourth time in nine years today, have played 12 games on November 5 in their history, winning eight and losing just once.
But Ferguson is more concerned with his side knocking out their recent tendency to leak goals in the final quarter of games, which have cost them eight League Two points already this term.
Doncaster may switch tack to cup matters today, but the Scot has implored his side of the need to see out games and concentrate until the end, with the message reinforced to whoever strides out for the visitors today in what is likely to be a changed line-up.
Ferguson said: "On Tuesday, we had a meeting and analysed the whole period up to now and it was going into detail of times when we have lost goals.
"There are key statistics we need to improve on.
"One is that we need to keep more clean sheets and we have conceded too many goals in the last 15 minutes of games. We went through it thoroughly and the players were very good in the meeting.
"It was a good meeting.
"We have scored a lot of goals and look good going forward.
But we have got to remember that we need to keep clean sheets as well.
"We need to tighten up and manage games when we have to.
"We need to keep the belief in games when we come under the cosh and remember that we have a really good group of players here."
Today's match will be a particularly noteworthy one for experienced defender Craig Alcock, who makes his eagerly-awaited first appearance of the season after suffering a setback on the injury front.
Ferguson said: "In the last two weeks, he has trained and we fully expect he will get a full game and be fine."
