A plan to ease the strained finances in Wildwood, N.J., by allowing RV campers on a patch of beach in this Jersey Shore town – one of the few that don't charge for beach access – has oceanfront-property owners irate that their "lawn" could take on a "trailer park atmosphere."
"We plan to do whatever we have to do to make sure this doesn't happen. The beach is about flying kites, playing volleyball, enjoying the environment of the beach. . . . RVs are not part of the beach," said Robert Grandinetti, president of the Wildwood Ocean Towers Condominium Association, which has mounted an aggressive effort to prevent RV camping, which could begin next week.
Allowing RVs to set up on the beach for a fee – an accepted practice in Florida and California, according to RV enthusiasts – would create an unsightly, noisy appearance and could pollute the waterfront, say opponents. The area could "turn into one continuous tailgate party," Grandinetti told the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The association, which obtained a court order to stage a recent Boardwalk protest, will take additional legal action if needed, he said.
At least one more demonstration is likely before Aug. 18, when campers are expected to arrive as part of a beach festival near the site, just south of the Wildwoods Convention Center, Grandinetti said.
Mayor Ernie Troiano and the three-member City Commission in July awarded a five-year contract to a California company, Point Break Group Management L.L.C., to operate the RV campground for up to 78 vehicles between Taylor and Hand Avenues. The company will rent 60- and 30-foot-wide slots for $120 to $150 a night.
Vehicles will enter the beach at Cresse Avenue, where the Boardwalk ends, and travel a three-block path on hard-packed sand to the camping area, according to officials.
Revenue eventually could funnel $200,000 a year into the municipal coffers, the city has said.
Wildwood faced a $3 million budget shortfall this year, the city's worst financial bind in 30 years, City Commissioner Pete Byron said last week.
To continue paying for beach upkeep without a tax increase, the city has looked to the beach itself as a revenue generator and has come up with creative ideas, Byron said.
The "comprehensive beach plan" does not rule out a beach-tag fee, officials have said.
Wildwood began selling permits for horseback riding on the beach last winter. And it has leased about 100 "beach boxes," wooden storage units, for $400 a season so regulars can leave gear near the water's edge.

OXNARD, Calif. — Larry King was a gay eighth-grader who used to come to school in makeup, high heels and earrings. And when the other boys made fun of him, he would boldly tease them right back by flirting with them.
That may have been what got him killed.
On Feb. 12, another student, Brandon McInerney, 14, shot him twice in the head at the back of the computer lab at their junior high school, police say.
The slaying of the 15-year-old boy has alarmed gay rights activists and led to demands that middle schools do more to educate youngsters about discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation.
Police would not discuss McInerney's motive. But the day before the shooting, King told McInerney he liked him, eighth-grader Eduardo Segure told the Ventura County Star.
If King had flirted with the other boy, "that can be very threatening to someone's ego and their sense of identity," said Jaana Juvonen, a psychology professor at the University of California, Los Angeles.
Hate-crime allegation
McInerney was jailed on $770,000 bail on an adult murder charge that could put him behind bars for life. Prosecutors also filed a hate-crime enhancement, which could bring three more years if McInerney is found to have acted on the basis of the victim's race, religion, nationality or sexual orientation.
The shooting has galvanized Oxnard, a city of nearly 200,000 people about 60 miles northwest of Los Angeles. Several vigils for King have been held, including a march that drew about 1,000 people to this strawberry-growing section of Ventura County.
Like the killings of some other gay students — such as Matthew Shepard in Wyoming and Brandon Teena, the Nebraska transsexual whose story was the subject of the movie "Boys Don't Cry" — King's death has drawn national attention and outraged many gays.
Comic Ellen DeGeneres, who is a lesbian, said on her talk show Feb. 28: "Larry was not a second-class citizen. I'm not a second-class citizen. It is OK if you are gay."
'He wasn't afraid'
Students at E.O. Green Junior High said the other kids used to taunt King, call him names and throw wet paper towels at him in the boys' restroom, and he would bravely fire back by flirting with them and chasing them.
"He didn't like people insulting him," said his friend Miriam Lopez, 13. "Larry was brave enough to bring high heels and makeup to school and he wasn't afraid of anything."
Jerry Dannenberg, superintendent of the Hueneme School District, would not discuss details of what went on between King and McInerney but said students are encouraged to come forward if they have been threatened.
He also said that King was free to wear women's accessories with his uniform of white shirt and dark pants because the dress code prohibits only those items that could be a safety threat, such as steel-toed shoes.
"If girls are wearing jewelry, you can't stop boys from wearing it, too," he said. "Each gender has the right to wear what the other does."
The school system said that it has tolerance programs in its middle schools, but that sexual orientation is often not dealt with until high school. Since the killing, school officials have been meeting with gay leaders about changing the program.
"With young people coming out at younger ages, our schools — especially our junior highs and middle schools — need to be proactive about teaching respect for diversity based on sexual orientation and gender identity," said Carolyn Laub, executive director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. "The tragic death of Larry King is a wake-up call for our schools to better protect students from harassment at school."
Abuse and harassment
A 2005 survey by the Gay, Lesbian, and Straight Education Network found that more than 64 percent of gay and lesbian students report verbal, sexual or physical harassment at school, and 29 percent said they missed at least a day of school in the previous month out of fear for their safety. The group is holding its annual "Day of Silence" in memory of King on April 25.
The families of both boys have refused to comment. An e-mail message left for McInerney's attorney was not immediately returned.
Both teens have been described as good kids.
King and his mother crocheted hundreds of scarves that were shipped to U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan. The avid singer planned to belt out the national anthem at his brother's opening-day baseball game this spring.
"He had an amazing voice and was always singing," said Averi Laskey, 13, a friend since elementary school. "He would stick up for you no matter what. Larry was the best kind of person you could meet."
McInerney was described as the typical eighth-grader, goofy and fun to be around. He trained to be a lifeguard and took martial arts. He also enrolled in the Young Marines, a group similar to the Army's Junior Reserve Officers' Training Corps.
Rough upbringings
The two had at least one thing in common: rough upbringings.
King had been in foster care at a center for abused and neglected children since November, said Steve Elson, the facility's chief executive. Confidentiality laws prevented him from saying why.
McInerney's parents accused each other of domestic violence and filed dueling restraining orders, according to court records. Several months before McInerney was born, his father was accused of shooting his mother in the elbow. Kendra McInerney told a local paper she struggled with drug addiction for many years. The couple divorced in 2002.
Jay Smith, director of the Ventura County Rainbow Alliance, a gay rights organization, questioned whether teachers have enough training to deal with gay teens.
"Those of us being out remember being bullied and we don't want to see that happen to another kid," he said.

New evidence in Lance Armstrong case raises further UCI questions
FRESH evidence has emerged of how Lance Armstrong managed to avoid positive drugs tests that raises further questions about the International Cycling Union's (UCI) involvement in the scandal.
The head of the US anti-doping agency (USADA) Travis Tygart has claimed the director of the drug-testing laboratory in Lausanne told him he provided the cyclist with the information to avoid positive tests for the blood-boosting agent EPO - with the meeting coming at the request of the UCI.
Concerns have previously been expressed about a 'triangle' - with the UCI accepting a $100,000 (€75,000 )donation from Armstrong in 2002 and around that time the UCI gave the Lausanne laboratory free use of a blood analyser worth $60-$70,000.
Tygart, the man who brought charges against Armstrong that led to him being stripped of seven Tour de France titles, told US television programme 60 Minutes on Showtime that the Lausanne laboratory's director Martial Saugy had admitted he had met Armstrong and US Postal manager Johan Bruyneel in 2002 to explain how the EPO test worked - but at the request of the UCI.
The UCI insist that the meetings were arranged as a "deterrent" to show riders they were getting tough on doping and not to show them how to beat the system.
The meeting was a year after Armstrong returned a 'suspect sample' at the Tour de Suisse, which had been tested in Lausanne.
Tygart told 60 Minutes, according to French newspaper Le Monde: "He [Saugy] sat beside me and said: 'Travis, there is a sample from Lance Armstrong that indicates Lance Armstrong used EPO'. He [Saugy] also told us that he had been ordered by the UCI to meet Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel to explain the method of detecting EPO, something that was unusual for him.
"So I asked him: 'Did you give Lance Armstrong and Johan Bruyneel the keys to beating EPO tests?' And he nodded to say yes. He explained to them, just the two of them. As far as I know, it's unprecedented.
"It's completely wrong to meet an athlete with a suspect result and explain to him how the test works."
Tygart also confirmed that USADA had rejected an offer of a donation from Armstrong of more than $150,000 in 2004.
He said: "It was a clear conflict of interest for USADA and we had no hesitation in rejecting that offer."
Armstrong is due to break his silence on the doping allegations on Oprah Winfrey's TV talk show next Thursday.
The UCI has set up an independent commission, including Baroness Tanni Grey-Thompson among the members, to investigate USADA's findings - including any payments from Armstrong to the organisations. The findings are expected before June.
A UCI spokesman insisted it had never tried to cover up the meeting.
He said: "The UCI organised meetings with some riders to make them aware of the steps we were taking.
"We never met to tell them how to beat the system - the purpose was to say we are working in this direction, it was just an information policy and a deterrent.
"It happened with many riders and many teams, we have never denied this meeting took place in order to inform him [Armstrong] and his team. There is nothing to hide, we are trying to be very transparent."
Swiss Cycling president Richard Chassot has defended the Lausanne laboratory saying it has often taken a tough stance on doping.
Chassot said: "In many cases, notably the (Floyd) Landis affair, they haven't been afraid to put themselves in danger. Martial Saugy is a good and serious guy, who has often taken a strong position against doping.
"Regarding the samples tested, there are only numbers on a tube. At the laboratory in Lausanne, they couldn't say to themselves, 'This is Armstrong's sample, he can't be positive.' If something happened, it's at UCI level."

- The Desert Sun newspaper reported yesterday that Tesla had tried to buy Simbol Materials for $325m in 2014.
- Simbol Materials was a lithium extraction company which claimed to have invented an efficient method to extract and producer battery-grade lithium.
- Simbol is reported to have tried to negotiate a $2.5bn offer from Tesla causing Elon Musk to walk away and leaving Simbol Materials to collapse and cease operations.
- Alger Alternative Energy, formed by former Simbol executives is now reported to be trying to secure Simbol's technology. The new company is looking to convert brines from the California Salton Sea geothermal plants into lithium on a large scale. The brines are 25% solid containing chloride, sodium, calcium and potassium and small quantities, lithium.
- Simbol Materials failed to raise the $400m it wanted to build its lithium extraction plant. It's not easy to finance new technology in the mining sector due to the high cost of building new plants, the time taken to get to commercial production and the potential cost of any holdups or problems in the extraction and sale of product. These issues can sink a company and the risk becomes even larger if the process has not been fully trialled.
- We note hydro metallurgical processes are in our experience more successful as they can be trialled and up scaled relatively easily.

How to Use
the Readings
Inquiry Question
Reading 2: The Crack in the Liberty Bell
Most people are familiar with two aspects of the Liberty Bell: it is an important symbol, and it is cracked. The existing crack adds mystery to the symbolism. How and when did the bell crack? It is difficult to determine from historical documents, although there are many traditional explanations.1824
The Marquis de Lafayette was only 19 years old in 1777 when he volunteered to fight in the American Revolution. In 1824 he returned to the United States on a triumphal tour around the country. His visit created a resurgence in pride and interest in the American Revolution.
On March 5, a Philadelphia newspaper, the American Daily Advertiser, published a poem about the old State House bell. There was no mention of a crack. Six months later, another newspaper ran a story about the bell and quoted its inscription. There was no mention of a crack.
According to local reporters, the "old bell" tolled on April 7, upon the death of President William Henry Harrison, the first President to die in office.
Questions for Reading 2
1. How many years passed between the adoption of the Declaration of Independence and Lafayette's triumphal visit in 1824? What kind of reaction did his visit provoke?
2. When and how do the different sources say the Liberty Bell cracked? Do the sources seem reliable? Is there any information that might indicate a reason for selecting the dates other than historical accuracy?
3. Why does there seem to be a need to attribute the cracking to a significant event? When do the stories begin that give a significant event as the occasion when the bell cracked? Why might that be?
4. Is there something about the title of John Sartain's book that might alert a researcher to read with caution?
5. Can you draw any conclusions about the crack from these sources?
Compiled from David A. Kimball, Venerable Relic: The Story of the Liberty Bell (Philadelphia: Eastern National Park Association, 1989); John C. Paige with David A.

I digress from last week in two ways. First, I really want to get back to information literacy, because I think it is important. Most of you probably think it's just a fancy term for finding and obtaining information, but it's an important concept...I promise I'll get back to it. Second, I found a really cool website for Italian immigrants coming into Argentina that I want to highlight. I understand that this blog is for Hispanic genealogy, and Italians don't fall into that category, but this is an important resource for our Argentine readers.
Site and What it Contains
The website is: http://barcosdeagnelli.com.ar/and to get to the good stuff you will want to click on: Fundacion Agnelli located on the right side of the screen. You will have to register to get access to the database, which is free.
The site has a database of 1, 020,000 Italian immigrants that arrived in Buenos Aires, Argentina between 1882 and 1920. The index contains the following information:
- Full name of the immigrant
- Age
- Gender
- Marital status

Practice officially got underway Saturday and Lady Generals head coach Frank McCarthy says he likes what he's seen from this year's group of players.
And it looks like depth will not be a factor this year as it has been in the last few season as it looks several players will contribute on the court this season.

By Emily McKenna, Recipe Developer & Tester for EatingWell Magazine
Over the years I have perfected my banana bread recipe -- one of my favorite solutions for using overripe bananas. I use all whole-grain flour or whole-grain flour mixed with white all-purpose flour, and rely as much as I can on the natural sweetness of the bananas to cut the total amount of granulated sugar called for in the recipe. I also like to roughly mash, or chop, my bananas so that there are big chunks of fruit to bite into. I always throw in a handful of toasted chopped walnuts and sometimes I'll add a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg and a handful of dark chocolate chips.

Want to lighten up your favorite banana bread recipe? Here are four of my best tricks you can use to make your banana bread recipe healthier and delicious, and a recipe for EatingWell's healthy Banana-Blueberry Buttermilk Bread (see below).
Related: How to Bake a Healthier Cupcake
1. Use Less Sugar:
This is really a two-part tip. I try to add as little sugar as possible to my banana bread. This means packing as many naturally sweet and creamy bananas into my bread as I can. So, when a recipe calls for two medium bananas, I will usually use three. The more the merrier, in my opinion, and I swear that this tactic has never steered me wrong. The bread bakes up just fine, stays super-moist and has intense banana flavor.
When it comes to choosing sugar, I always go for light or dark brown sugar: brown sugar adds a deeper, more caramel-like flavor to my bread than granulated sugar, which has a less nuanced flavor.
2. Replace All-Purpose Flour with Whole-Wheat Flour:
Generally, you can replace at least half of the all-purpose flour in a recipe with whole-wheat flour. I tend to do a one-to-one swap in my banana bread, using all whole-wheat flour or whole-wheat pastry flour in place of the amount of all-purpose flour called for -- I prefer the heartier, nuttier flavor that whole-wheat flour adds, and I want the extra fiber (almost four times as much as all-purpose), potassium, magnesium and zinc. If you want the nutritional benefits of whole-wheat flour, without quite as much whole-wheat flavor, use white whole-wheat flour.

3. Add Healthy Fruit and Nuts:
In addition to upping the amount of bananas in my bread (see my first tip), I also like to mix in different kinds of fruits and nuts, which add texture, flavor and health benefits. When it comes to fruit, I love the taste of tart, plump blueberries. I will add as much as 1 1/2 cups of blueberries to my banana bread, folding them in after combining the wet and dry ingredients. As for nuts, 1/2 cup of toasted, roughly chopped walnuts folded into the batter before baking adds nutty flavor and something to crunch on, along with good omega-3 fats, which can help lower "bad" LDL cholesterol. A similar amount of chopped almonds delivers healthy monounsaturated fats.

4. Use Less Butter and More Buttermilk:
Buttermilk is fantastic in banana bread. By using a combination of 1 cup of nonfat buttermilk plus 2 tablespoons of canola oil, you can get away with almost no butter -- just two measly tablespoons. In addition to lending a pleasant tangy flavor, buttermilk helps keep your bread moist as it bakes.

Cambridge, Mass. -- For the second week in a row, freshman Lauren Quisenberry has earned the honor of New England Women's and Men's Atletic Conference (NEWMAC) women's singles player of the week.
Quisenberry had her biggest week yet as she went 3-0 in singles play, including a win over defending Division 3 National Champion Julia Browne of Tufts. To start the week, she defeated Sarah Whitaker of Babson 6-1, 6-0, then she defeated Browne in an amazing 3 set match, 2-6, 7-6 (4), 10-5. She finished off the week by defeating Nahrhee Han of Mt. Holyoke 6-0, 6-1.
Lauren remains undefeated in conference play and has helped her team remain undefeated in conference matches as well.
This makes four weeks in a row that Lauren has been involved in NEWMAC honors, as she was part of the doubles team that won the honor the weeks of September 13th and 20th.

Rihanna's 'Battleship' Premiere Tuxedo: Do You Like Her In Menswear?
Rihanna sported a sleek tuxedo look at her latest movie premiere — but was this jumpsuit a bit too simple for the sexy singer? VOTE!
As she continues hitting the red carpet to promote her new film, Battleship, Rihanna hasn't stopped surprising us with her unexpected premiere outfits! At her latest Sydney premiere on April 10, the 24-year-old stepped out in a rather simple all-black tuxedo — and it isn't the first time she wore menswear!
As she posed for the cameras, RiRi worked the red carpet in a black Stella McCartney jumpsuit, which she paired with matching sandals. Keeping the look super simple, she accessorized with a high bun, gold hooped earrings and a red pout — not a look we see on the singer too often!
While we definitely prefer this elegant style way more than the sans-pant-looks she has sported in the past, this all-black getup on Rihanna is slightly underwhelming, perhaps some color would've brightened up this otherwise chic sophisticated style — do you agree?
What do YOU think of this look on Rihanna? VOTE!

On Global Democracy U.S. Is Huge Failure
Even with troops build up in Afghanistan, unless a political solution prevails there, the so-called "victory" that American commanders speak of will prove elusive. After all, who exactly is the "enemy" in Afghanistan? In addition to the Taliban and other armed groups, Hamid Karzai's corrupt and usurper regime –with his drug King pin brother— which recently stole elections is as much a liability.
[Black Star News Editorial]
While the focus within the U.S. is currently on Afghanistan and President Obama's upcoming announcement to boost American troop numbers there, the United States has scored a spectacular foreign policy failure in its handling of the Honduras debacle.
An illegal coup d'état regime has been legitimatized. The crowning will be complete when the illegal regime presides over sham elections this weekend. All this could have been prevented had the United States compelled the restoration of the democratically elected president Manuel Zelaya.
Whatever faults he may have had, Zelaya was the legally elected president of Honduras. The country had embarked on a democratic trend, whereby political differences are not settled by overthrowing an elected government.
Yet Zelaya was unconstitutionally ousted by the military which then replaced him with a lackey and the president's political rival. Rather than demanding for the immediate restoration of the president, the United States sent mixed signals. It failed to acknowledge that a coup d'état had in fact occurred. When a president is dragged in his pajamas, loaded into a plane and forcefully flown out of the country and stripped of power, what would you call that?
Not only did the U.S. tolerate the illegal takeover in Honduras, it acquiesced in the kidnapping of an elected sitting president.
Now in a recent letter to Brazil's President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva President Obama has indicated that the U.S. believes Honduras can open a fresh page after elections this weekend. That things can begin from "zero." This is a preposterous position. What is to stop another Honduran president from being ousted, given the acquiescence to Zelaya's overthrow? How many zeros can Honduras, and other countries with tyrannical regimes endure?
The Honduras failure is spectacular because it sends all the wrong signals to tyrants and would-be coup leaders around the world. In many respects, it also proves that the Ugly American of old still lives when it comes to dealing with less powerful nations.
Would the United States have continued dealing with any regime that illegally seized power in a European country through the military? Of course not. The EU would lead the charge in cutting off the lifeline of such a regime and the U.S. would follow suit. If Europeans deserve democratic governance, and a government installed by the voters, why shouldn't Hondurans similarly have this right?
Even with troops build up in Afghanistan, unless a political solution prevails there, the so-called "victory" that American commanders speak of will prove elusive. After all, who exactly is the "enemy" in Afghanistan? In addition to the Taliban and other armed groups, Hamid Karzai's corrupt and usurper regime –with his drug King pin brother— which recently stole elections is as much a liability.
In West Africa, Guinea's military junta recently unleashed thugs against the populace which had peacefully demonstrated against the tyranny. A reported 150 civilians were killed and scores of women raped in public. The initial U.S. response was outrageous and tepid. Perhaps Washington was hoping to score a uranium mining concession deal with the junta before China did. In any event, the U.S. later sent a high level State Department official who denounced the regime and informed the leader, Captain Diddias Camara, that there would be "consequences" if he were to reverse his promise and run for president this January.
Why should the Guinea regime take the U.S. officials seriously in light of the hypocrisy with respect to Honduras? The civil opposition in Guinea had demonstrated in public because many had believed the message in President Obama's Accra, Ghana, speech.
The President had announced that the days of dictators and big men in Africa were over. The future of Africa belonged to its youth; yet when the youth took this message to the streets, they were mowed down with bullets and their sisters and mothers sexually violated including with gun barrels.
Camara may now take his chances and run for president in January. Other African countries, including Kenya and Uganda, both nototious for sham elections, will vote in the coming years.
Honduras holds its sham elections this weekend while the legitimate president remains hiding in the Brazilian embassy--Brazil's President Lula and several South American leaders have denounced the upcoming vote.
Does the voice of the electorate really matter? Has the quest for global democratization died in the streets of Afghanistan, Honduras and Guinea?
So far, Washington is on the wrong side of history.

French noble who early developed a sympathy for the poor and sick; reported to have been born with the image of a red cross on his breast. Orphaned at age 20, he gave his fortune to the poor, and became a mendicant pilgrim; may have been a Franciscan tertiary. While on pilgrimage Roch encountered an area afflicted with plague. He stayed to minister to the sick, and affected several miraculous cures, usually by making the sign of the cross over them, but contracted the plague himself. He walked into a forest to die, but was befriended by a dog. The dog fed him with food stolen from his master's table, and Roch eventually recovered.
When Roch returned to Montpellier, France, he was arrested for being a spy. He languished in jail for five years, never mentioning his noble connections, cared for by an angel until his death.

Have you hugged a market gardener today?
If you're thinking you've missed your window for reaping the best of your local farmer's market, think again. Many of them are open through the end of October, though not all. This handy site has dates and locations for markets statewide. This weekend and the coming week, though, will be the last call, though, for many markets in Greeley, Denver Boulder, Colorado Springs, Aurora, Littleton — that's just a few.
(In some towns — Fort Collins is one of them — winter markets will keep you stocked with local produce, eggs, meat, cheese, and other items — until weekly markets start to open again in April.)
One thing to keep in mind is just how hard these folks work to bring you those farm-fresh eats throughout the growing season. I was a customer at a market the weekend of Oct. 10 and 11, when the mercury had read 16 degrees when a before-dawn volunteer crew hauled out pop-up tents and tables and fliers and brochures and a machine that supplied "market bucks" so customers don't have to run somewhere else to hit an ATM. For a morning market that opens at 8 a.m., those volunteers often show up before 6 a.m. That weekend, they rotated in and out of hot cars and the lobby of a nearby Masonic Temple to avoid having to call in medics for hypothermia.
And the farmers aren't showing up a whole lot later than the staff. A 6:30 a.m. arrival is about average — and they've often had a lot longer drive. A tamale maker got stopped on I-25 for three hours on that snowy weekend because the road had closed. She got there a half-hour before the market closed — but she got there, sliding steaming tamales into the frozen fingers of shoppers and staffers.
Then there are the countless hours growers spend in the fields, or the hours driving, or the hours tearing down their tents and tables. Think about it: a lot of days, those farmers eat fast food because they're so busy bringing you the best food their land — or land they rent — can produce. It's anything but an easy life.
It grieved me to know that two of my favorite farmers were shutting down after the last Saturday market at the Larimer County Courthouse, to go off on adventure, to see if there was a place where they could make a living from making food, somewhere where the land is cheaper. I've learned tons from their booth, about Amish speckled lettuce and how divinely it keeps in the fridge, about crunchy, sweet, white spring turnips, About just how beautiful and bountiful one tiny corner booth at a farmer's market can look. They're a small vendor, but I'll mourn their loss.
So if your local farmer's market is still running, go. Buy an heirloom pumpkin or the standard jack o'lantern variety. Buy some fall radishes or lettuce. Some chard, beets, parsnips, squash. Some delicata, butternut, buttercup, hubbard. Squash keeps. It's good for you. Fill a bag.

Tutorial explaining how to make infereces with the library.
Thus tutorial is using examples from the module Bayes.Examples. Please, refer to this module for documentation about how the example bayesian networks are created or loaded.
The function
inferencesOnStandardNetwork is showing how to use variable elimination
and factor elimination to make inferences.
First, the
example is loaded to make its variables and its bayesian network available:
let ([winter,sprinkler,rain,wet,road],exampleG) = example
Then, we compute a prior marginal. Prior means that no evidence is used. A bayesian network is a factorisation of a distribution P(A B C ...). If you want to know the probability of only A, you need to sum out the other variables to eliminate them and get P(A). To compute this prior marginal using variable elimnation, you need to give an elimination order. The complexity of the computation is depending on the elimination order chosen.
For instance, if you want to compute the prior probability of rain, you can write:
priorMarginal exampleG [winter,sprinkler,wet,road] [rain]
Now, if you have observed that the grass is wet and want to take into account thios observation to compute the posterior probability of rain (after observation):
posteriorMarginalexampleG [winter,sprinkler,wet,road] [rain] [wet
If you want to combine several observations:
posteriorMarginalexampleG [winter,sprinkler,wet,road] [rain] [wet
=:True, sprinkler
There are several problems with variable elimination:
- You have to specify an elimination order
- If you want to compute another marginal (for instance probability of winter), you have to recompute everything.
But, there exists another category of elimination algorithms based upon factor elimination. They require the creation of an auxiliary data structure : the junction tree.
This tree is then used for computing all marginals (without having to recompute everything). The junction tree is equivalent to giving an elimination order.
So, the previous examples can also be computed with factor elimination. First, the junction tree must created:
let jt =
The junction tree being equivalent to an elimination order, the order chosen will
depend on a cost function. In the previous example, the cost function
is used. Other cost functions may be introduced in a futute version of this library.
Once the junction tree has been computd, it can be used to compute several marginals:
posterior jt [rain]
The function is called posterior and will compute posterior only when solme evidence has been introduced into the tree. Otherwise it is computing a prior.
To set evidence, you need to update the junction tree with new evidence:
let jt' =
=:True] jt
posteriorjt' [rain]
If you want to compute the posterior for a combination of variables, you have two possibilities : either going back to the variable elimination methods. Or, introduce new nodes in the network to represent the query.
It is easily done through the new
logical function when building the Bayesian graph.
Once you have a node to represent a complex query, you can use it to compute a posterior. For instance, in the rain example, there is a new variable:
roadandrain <-
variable"rain and slippery road" (t :: Bool)
logicalroadandrain ((rain
This variable is representing the assertion : rain True AND slippery road True. This variable can be used to answer different queries, like for instance:
let jt4 =
=:True] jt print "Posterior Marginal : probability of rain and road slippery if grass wet" let m =
posteriorjt4 [roadandrain] print m -- let jt5 =
=:True, sprinkler
=:False] jt print "Posterior Marginal : probability of rain and road slippery if grass wet and srinkler not used" let m =
posteriorjt5 [roadandrain]
Inferences with an imported network
There is a slight additional difficulty with imported networks : you need to create new data type to be able to set evidence.
For instance, in the cancer network there is a Coma variable with levels Present or Absent. When imported, those levels are imported as number. But, the evidence API in this library is requiring enumerations.
So, you need to create a
Coma type:
data Coma = Present | Absent deriving(Eq,Enum,Bounded)
and check that
Present is corresponding to the level 0 in the imported network.
Once this datatype is created, you can easily use the cancer network. First we load
the network and import the discrete variables of type
DV from the names of the nodes in the
network (not the label of the nodes).
print "CANCER NETWORK"
(varmap,cancer) <-
print cancer
let [varA,varB,varC,varE] = fromJust $ mapM (flip Map.lookup varmap) ["A","B","C","E"]
To avoid any errors with the future queries, some imported variables can be transformed into typed variables:
varD =
tdv(fromJust $ Map.lookup "D" varmap) ::
Once the variables are available, you can create the junction tree and start making inferences:
let jtcancer =
nodeComparisonForTriangulationcancer -- mapM_ (x -> putStrLn (show x) >> (print .
posteriorjtcancer $ [x])) [varA,varB,varC,varE] -- print "UPDATED EVIDENCE" let jtcancer' =
=:Present] jtcancer mapM_ (x -> putStrLn (show x) >> (print .
posteriorjtcancer' $ [x])) [varA,varB,varC,varE]
=: operator will check that the assignment is type compatible because varD is a typed discrete variable of type
TDV Coma.
MPE inferences
It is possible to compute the Most Probable Explanation for a set of observation. The syntax is very similar to the posterior computation with variable elimination:
let m =
mpeexampleG [wet,road] [winter,sprinkler,rain,roadandrain] [wet
=:True, road
The first list of variables (which should containg the evidence variables) is summed out. The second list of variables is used to maximize the probability. Both lists should contain all variables of the Bayesian network and are defining an elimination order.
The result of the mpe functions is a list of instantiations. The result is easier to read when the type information is
reintroduced. It can be done with the
tdvi function:
let typedResult = map (map
tdvi) m :: [[(
In this example, all variables are boolean ones.
Soft Evidence
Soft evidence is more complex to handle since new node have to be added to the graph. And the node factor has to be changed when the node evidence is changed.
Here is how you could do it. First you load an example graph containg a soft evidence node created with
inferencesWithSoftEvidence = do
let ((a,seNode),exampleG) =
Then, you create the junction tree as usual and force an hard evidence on the soft evidence node.
jt =
nodeComparisonForTriangulationexampleG jt' =
=:True] jt
This junction tree cannot be used because the soft evidence node created in
exampleSoftEvidence has a
probability table which is meaningless. You need to update the probability table for a given soft evidence.
You create a new factor for this:
theNewFactor x = fromJust $
se seNode a x -- x % success for the sensor
This new factor, can then be used to do inference with different soft evidences.
print "Sensor 90%" print $ posterior (
changeFactor(theNewFactor 0.9) jt') [a] -- print "Sensor 50%" print $ posterior (
changeFactor(theNewFactor 0.5) jt') [a] -- print "Sensor 10%" print $ posterior (
changeFactor(theNewFactor 0.1) jt') [a]

The Tapping Solution - by Nick Ortner
Do you have things in your life that you wish were different . . . but you don't know how to change?
The Tapping Solution offers a new technique to deal with seemingly impossible situations.
Tapping, also known as EFT, is a powerful tool for improving your life on multiple levels: mental, emotional, and physical. It has been proven to effectively address a range of issuesfrom anxiety, chronic pain, addiction, and fear, to weight control, financial abundance, stress relief, and so much more. It's also one of the easiest and fastest practices to learn. You can learn it in minutes, do it anywhere and on virtually any issue, and oftentimes experience immediate results.
How does it work? Based on the principles of both ancient acupressure and modern psychology, tapping concentrates on specific meridian endpoints while focusing on negative emotions or physical sensations. Combined with spoken word, tapping helps calm the nervous system to restore the balance of energy in the body and rewire the brain to respond in healthy ways.

Resetting Your HTC X7501 Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the back of the device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.
Slide the Volume slider down and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the back of your device.
After a brief period of time, two choices will appear on-screen. Press the CENTER OK button to perform the hard reset. Note If you do not want to perform a hard reset, press the CAMERA button to exit.
Press the POWER button.

In the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) industrial logging is still totally out of control. Ongoing social conflicts, including extreme violence, rape and human rights abuse prompted Greenpeace International to file a complaint in April 2011 to the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) about its association with the Congolese logging company Sodefor and its Liechtenstein-based parent company Nordsudtimber (NST) group.
The FSC says it stands for healthy forests and benefits for local people so should distance itself from companies associated with human rights violations. Last week, the FSC published its decision not to disassociate from NST. This scandalous decision is a huge setback for the affected communities and for the credibility of the FSC.
Sodefor is the biggest logging permit holder in the DRC. Greenpeace has reported on Sodefor's involvement in social conflicts and illegal logging over the past years. The general pattern of these conflicts is clear: the community protests, because their landrights are not respected, taxes are not paid or the company does not comply with its legal obligations on social projects such as building schools and health centres for the community.
Standing up to a logging company such as Sodefor is dangerous business in the DRC, because police and military can be called in for intervention. In 2006, villagers of Mbelo stood up against Sodefor. The intervention mission reportedly committed 38 rapes, looted and destroyed property, arrested 37 villagers and left one person dead, apparently as a result of beatings in jail. Another case occurred around the 2010 protests by the Bokongo community. On that occasion the police intervention led to human rights abuses and the death of a 72-year old villager, George Nkaka. Even last February, it was reported that villagers were arbitrarily arrested near Bongonde when they protested against Sodefor. And these are just a few examples.
So, what more does the FSC need to disassociate from a logging company?
Based on the FSC's Policy of Association, Greenpeace asked the FSC to immediately disassociate from Sodefor/NST and nullify its certificates. The FSC has now decided not to disassociate itself from Sodefor, but to: "start the suggested process to bring about required changes to Sodefor's practices to ensure Sodefor will meet all the FSC's requirements including the Policy of Association".
Sounds reasonable? But when you think about it, this is a clear contradiction. Why start a whole process with Sodefor to live up to the policy when you have just decided not to disassociate, because there is not enough evidence for non-compliance? And this policy was meant to rule out the big, bad and ugly in the first place, not to bring them in!
The FSC's credibility is at stake here. The complaint procedure took nearly 11 months when it should have taken only three months. In the meantime the human rights violations continued. The complaints panel says it "did not have the time nor the resources to carry out extensive field investigations" and it could not investigate our allegations on workers and labour rights. Sodefor can now continue to work with FSC. In total disregard of the reality on the ground.
We also filed a complaint in November 2011– against Siforco, at that time a DRC subsidiary of the Danzer group. By selling off Siforco it does not absolve the Danzer Group from being unaccountable for the controversial practices and human rights violations that occurred under its ownership and FSC must recognise and address this.
The FSC should halt certification of industrial logging operations in the Congo Basin. Sort out the mess first and make sure communities are compensated and their rights respected.

Industrial logging is out of control in Australia too and the conservation movement, who only want more National Parks, support recommendations that provide for the government to fund FSC to develop a National Forest Standard.
Unfortunately and without a focus on implementing ESFM the outcome is likely to be what we aleady have under the Australian Forestry Standard.
From this part of Australia conservation movement involvement with FSC equates with continuing to ignore the deforestation process and guarantees koalas will be driven to extinction.
FSC already operate in Australia and their record with koalas, forests and plantations is appalling.

There was one truly interesting observation in this week's Fed balance sheet update: not that the actual balance sheet hit a new all time record (which it did at $2.779 trillion), or that the Fed added another $24 billion in Treasurys to its balance sheet, or that total reserves hit a new all time record, increasing by $53 billion to $1.59 trillion. No. The biggest surprise was that in the just ended week, Treasury securities held in custodial accounts at the Fed, considered by some the best real-time representation of foreign holdings of US Treasurys considering that the TIC update is not only wildly inaccurate in its monthly update, but is also 3 months delayed, dropped by the largest amount in 4 years. From a total of $2.704 trillion, USTs held in custodial accounts declined by $18.7 billion to $2.685 billion. This is the second largest decline in history, only topped by the $22.1 billion in the week of August 15, 2007 which is the week that followed the great quant crash of 2007 that wiped out, among others, Goldman Alpha. This observation is in stark contrast to the recent record strength of bond issuance, after both the 5 and 7 Years auctions posted record Bid to Cover investor interest.
One explanation is that while foreign investors are aggressively buying up the belly of the curve, they are even more aggressively selling the other parts of the curve, namely both the short (sub 2 Year) and the Long (10-30 Year). Another explanation is that the weekly change in Custodial data is largely noise and has no bearing on total foreign holdings of debt, which however we would largely discount. Another question is whether the large outflow from bonds is a consequences to recent market volatility, or is the basis for one: i.e., will the money be used to purchase stocks, or, if as China is posturing, is this merely capital leaving the US and entering Europe. Lastly, the nearly $20 billion in USDs likely will have to be converted to another FX denomination: should any notably USD weakness be observed in the next several days, this could well be a reason.

Yankees get preview of One World Observatory
NEW YORK -- Yankees managing general partner Hal Steinbrenner was on hand Tuesday for an exclusive preview of One World Observatory from the 100th floor of One World Trade Center in New York.
Steinbrenner was joined by other members of the Legends board of directors and Yankees front office, including general partner Jennifer Steinbrenner Swindal, team president Randy Levine and senior vice president/chief financial officer Anthony Bruno at the event, which offered a glimpse of the views from the top of the building, more than 1,250 feet above Manhattan.
Construction on the observation deck will begin in early 2014, and when the facility opens in '15, it will provide millions of visitors with an observatory-deck experience on Floors 100-102.
"As a building unlike any other in the world, One World Trade Center rightfully deserves an observatory experience unlike any other in the world," Steinbrenner said in a statement. "The Yankees organization is proud to be a part of One World Observatory, a project that will combine the best that New York has to offer, from awe-inspiring city views to top-notch service, and elevate the visitor experience to new heights."
Guests at the event got a first glimpse at what the experience will entail, including "Skypod" elevators that will give visitors the experience of being outside the building as they ascend and descend the structure in 60 seconds.
The observatory will feature a pre-show theater called "See Forever," where guests will learn about the history of the building. The deck will also feature dining options and an event space.
One World Trade Center is a joint venture between The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey and The Durst Organization. Legends, which is owned by the Dallas Cowboys, the Yankees and the Checketts Partners Investment Fund, was the company chosen to develop and operate the observation deck.
"Legends is owned by two of the most well-respected and prolific organizations in sports history, and it's clear that Legends intends to bring that same level of prestige, tradition and excitement to One World Observatory," said Port Authority vice chairman Scott Rechler. "The One World Observatory experience will be the Yankee Stadium of observation decks, one that solidifies the rebirth of the World Trade Center, of Lower Manhattan and the resilience of America."

Soccer is an abbreviation for Association Football. The Football Association was formed in London in October 1863 when representatives of eleven clubs and schools met in an attempt to standardize the rules of the game. One of the rules prohibited the carrying of the ball, a rule that would lead to the Rugby-oriented clubs leaving the Association several months later. The name Association Football was coined to distinguish it from Rugby. From the 1873 Football Annual:
To play with the feet is the main object of Association Football. Hands should not, and must not be used.
Within a few decades the clipping of association began to appear. From a 21 February 1889 letter by Ernest C. Dowson:
I absolutely decline to see socca' matches.
And from the Lock To Lock Times of 24 October 1891:
A sterling player, and has the best interest of the "socker" game at heart.
And the modern spelling appears in the November 1895 issue of 19th Century:
When the boat-race, sports, and "soccer" are in most men's minds.
So while soccer is commonly used in North America as the name for the sport, the name did not originate on this side of the Atlantic.
