The GHC Commentary
This tree of wiki pages is a "commentary" on the GHC source code. It contains all the explanatory material that doesn't belong in comments in the source code itself, because the material is wide-ranging, usually covers multiple source files, and is more architectural in nature. The commentary can also be considered a design document for GHC.
For the dedicated, there are videos of Simon and Simon giving an overview of GHC, at the 2006 GHC Hackathon.
Please feel free to add material to this commentary: don't worry too much about accuracy, in due course someone will edit your contribution. Try to link to source files as much as possible by using this macro:
[[GhcFile(compiler/Makefile)]] (the usual Trac
source: macro doesn't work here because the GHC darcs repository isn't integrated into this Trac). Also try to add appropriate links to other parts of the commentary.
- The Runtime System In addition to the usual runtime support contains information on:
- Cross-cutting concerns: topics which span both the compiler and the runtime system
- The User Manual (formatting guidelines etc)
Contributed Documentation
Please edit and improve the Commentary above, or the Building Guide.
However sometimes you may want to add new material that doesn't quite fit into the existing structure. Or perhaps your pages are about work-in-progress, status reports and suchlike, which don't belong in the Commentary per se. Regardless, you can add your new material here.
- The Compiler
- The new deriving mechanism
- Notes about Template Haskell?
- Notes about the new code generator
- Type families/type functions: Notes concerning the implementation of type families, associated types, and equality constraints as well as the extension of the type checker with a contraint solver for equality constraints.
- IntermediateTypes: Notes about the type system of GHC's new intermediate language (in the HEAD since ICFP'06)
- DataParallel: Notes about the implementation of Data Parallel Haskell
- RewriteRules: Notes about the implementation of RULEs in GHC
- BackEndNotes: Some ideas and notes about the back end.

- Cmm: Implementing Exception Handling: Implementing exception handling for primitive operations in Cmm
- Cmm: Using Kinds to implement calling conventions: Pointers to explanations of what a

- GhciDebugger: Some notes about the implementation of the GHCi debugger. Probably uninteresting unless you want to work on the debugger.
- NewGhciDebugger: The new GHCi debugger.
- AddingNewPrimitiveOperations: How to add new primitive operations to GHC Haskell.
- Replacing GMP: Notes from an effort to replace GMP with another Bignum library.

- HaddockComments: Some notes about how the Haddock comment support is implemented.
- ExplicitCallStack: Notes about maintaining an explicit call stack, to support error attribution and profiling.
- SQL-Like Comprehensions: Notes on the ongoing implementation of SPJs "Comprehensive Comprehensions".
- The Runtime System
- GarbageCollectorNotes Notes about GHC's existing single threaded garbage collector and development of a parallel GC.
- GMPMemoryManagement Describes how the garbage collector cooperates with GMP for Integer.
- SemiTagging: Describes how the semi-tagging optimisation will be implemented.
- PAPI: Measurement of program performance usign CPU events (cache misses, branch mispredictions).
- Other Cross-cutting concerns: topics which span both the compiler and the runtime system
- How the Haskell Program Coverage option works
- Building/RunningNoFib: The nofib benchmark suite
- GpHEden: All aspects of the GpH and Eden parallel variants of GHC. (work in progress)
- Hackathon presentations (video)
Old but useful
Finally, here are some generally-useful, but now somewhat-out-of-date resources:
- The old GHC Commentary: Information on the internals of GHC, in various states of up-to-dateness. We are keen to move this stuff out of its current location and onto this Wiki. If anyone is willing to help do that, even for just a part in which you are interested, we would be delighted.
- GhcPapers: papers and pointers to other documents that relate to the inner workings of GHC.

3- Minute Baseball by Strat-O-Matic Media LLC.
3-Minute Baseball, which gives users a taste of Strat-O-Matic Baseball, was designed as a free, casual and easy-to-access way of introducing baseball fans to the Strat-O-Matic brand. The game features two different teams with ten total players—five hitters versus five pitchers. There is a degree of variation amongst each of the hitters, whether it's the mix of left-handed and right-handed batters, or the fact that some hit for power and others hit for a high average (or a low average). Amongst the pitchers, which include both starters and relievers, there is also a mix of southpaws and right-handers.
The game itself is extremely quick and easy to play. The objective is to score as many points as possible before all of the batters are retired. The gamer will first select one of the five hitters, and then choose the pitcher he feels the hitter has the best chance of reaching base against. Once the matchup has been chosen, the game begins when the user presses a dice button. A white die is then rolled, which determines the column the result will come from. After that, two red dice are rolled to determine the row. The final result is found on a grid in the column and row determined by the dice, which is clearly displayed on the screen.
All five batters get three outs and can obtain a certain amount of points based on the outcome of each at-bat. Once three outs have been recorded against a particular batter, a new hitter and pitcher must be selected, while the original pair cannot be reused for the rest of the game. As soon as all of the batters and pitchers have been used, the game is over. At the end of each game, depending on the user's score, he/she may have the opportunity to put his name on the high score Leader Board.
This casual game is fun and challenging at the same time. It is fast to play and topical in its subject matter on current baseball happenings and historical landmarks. And of course, the game is another way to explore a healthy addiction to our nation's pastime.

Overworked and understaffed. Welcome to the post-recession workplace.
Keeping employees engaged and motivated in an environment like this will be the greatest human resource (HR) challenge for the foreseeable future, according to a recent poll of HR executives conducted by the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM).
Most employers are operating at much lower staffing levels than they did before the recession. And despite some signs of economic recovery, employers are taking a cautious approach to hiring.
To encourage employees to perform at their best, employers will need to improve morale and engagement levels, and possibly boost retention efforts.
At the height of the economic downturn, employers were forced to downsize staffs. As a result, many organizations have become accustomed to delivering their core products and services with fewer employees, according to Michael Norman and J.P. Elliott of Sibson Consulting.
"While the short-term benefits are obvious, the long-term implications of this new way of working aren't as apparent," they say.
Norman and Elliott say some of the problems emerging from the "do more with less" strategy are:
• Diminished capacity, capability, and agility. Not being properly staffed can directly influence your cost structure, cash flow, and ability to deliver financial services.
Misaligned organizational structure. Rapid reorganization of business units or functions has led to organizational structures that are no longer aligned properly to support the business model.
• Broken business processes. Even before the economic downturn, many organizations didn't document core business processes or support them
with technology. If employees with knowledge of manual processes were let go, business processes suffered.
• Declining work force engagement. While downsizing can improve productivity, it can also damage employee morale. Disengaged employees will be the first to go when the economy improves.
"The costs and complexities of doing more with less are real," say Norman and Elliott. "But this way of doing business is here to stay. The challenge is to operate in this environment while keeping employee performance and engagement high."
Hiring & pay plans
Most employers are waiting for the economy to stabilize before hiring full-time staff. Employers have grown accustomed to getting the job done with fewer employees or by using part-time staff or temp agencies.
But the number of employers planning to hire full-time staff is gradually increasing, according to CareerBuilder's annual job forecast. About 25% of employers plan to hire full-time employees in 2011, up from 20% in 2010 and 14% in 2009.
While credit union data on this improvement is being tabulated for CUNA's 2011-2012 Complete Credit Union Staff Salary Survey Report, credit unions appear to be part of the increasing hiring trend.
Several reports indicate employers have budgeted for wage increases averaging 2.8% in 2011. This is higher than increases in the past two years, although still lower than pre-recession levels.
About 76% of employers that froze pay between June 2009 and December 2010 have either rescinded the pay freezes or plan to do so soon, according to research from Buck Consultants.
But pay freezes might not disappear completely, warns Tom Burke, principal at Buck Consultants. Wage increases depend on economic stability, sustained growth, and significant improvement in the employment rate, he says. Instead of increasing base pay, many employers are offering incentives tied to organizational growth and keeping the lid on base-pay increases.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act released new requirements regarding executive compensation. The provision affecting credit unions with more than $1 billion in assets requires disclosure of all incentive-based compensation arrangements to determine if they're considered excessive or risky and could result in a material loss to the insurance fund. At press time, NCUA was expected to issue a final rule in April.

Remember when ….
- There was enough time.
- You spent money mostly on you.
- You had a waist.
- Weekends were lazy.
- The pre-party was a critical part of going out.
- It was possible to drink more than two glasses of wine without embarrassing yourself.
- You could stay awake later than 9pm.
- You danced around your handbag.
- 6am was sometimes the end of a great night.
- Going to McDonalds was a hangover cure.
There's so much stuff to be nostalgic about. But that was then and this is now.
Now is so much richer.

Eli Young Band gets up to speed for Kenny Chesney opener at Miller Park
Success with the country star often brings good things for opening acts
Opening up stadiums for Kenny Chesney's No Shoes Nation tour was a bit of an adjustment, said James Young, guitarist for the Texas-based Eli Young Band.
"It would have been nice if we could have actually warmed up with an arena or amphitheater," Young said of playing the tour kick-off at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa, Fla., in March.
"This one cameraman was fixed on me the whole time. I kept thinking, 'Why is this guy still following me?' I was so distracted by that, and looking out at the sea of people, it was hard to focus on playing the show."
But Young has gotten adjusted in a hurry. He needed to: Chesney's tour is hitting another stadium, Miller Park, on Saturday.
If history is any indication, Eli Young might find itself playing, and possibly headlining, large rooms in coming years.
A look back at Chesney's tour history shows that several star country acts hit the road with Chesney before filling arenas and amphitheaters themselves. Among those on the elite list: Keith Urban, Carrie Underwood, Luke Bryan, Sugarland and Lady Antebellum, to name a few.
Of course, Eli Young Band — formed at the University of North Texas by then-freshmen roommates Young and frontman Mike Eli — will also need hits to get to that level.
It already has a pair of platinum-certified singles — the dysfunctional love ballad "Crazy Girl" and a twangy rock cover of Will Hoge's "Even if it Breaks Your Heart" — from the 2011 album "Life at Best." But the album's third single, "Say Goodnight" (co-written by the Civil Wars' John Paul White), failed to gain the same traction after being released for radio in August.
Work has begun on the band's fifth album, although Young said it's almost like its sophomore album, given the success of the lead two singles on "Life at Best."
"We're trying not to over-think it," Young said when asked if he was concerned about a sophomore slump. He acknowledged the band was spending a little longer working on the new album to test "Best" with new producer Justin Niebank (he had a hand on major new albums from Blake Shelton, the Band Perry and Brad Paisley).
"We do know we don't want to rerecord those (hit) songs," Young said. "What we've always done is try to choose the best (material) and let everybody else grind their teeth."
Those teeth will continue grinding until the album's release, which Young said he hopes will be before the end of the year.
In the meantime, the band has been trying out a new song, "Drunk Last Night," at the Chesney shows.
"We like the tempo of the song, and it's a song that people can totally identify with," Young said. "Kenny Greenberg, he plays electric guitar with Kenny Chesney, and he played acoustic guitar in the studio on the song, and he comes on stage with us. It's an extra incentive to play it every night."

Forever Move - Regain Your Youthful Independence
Imagine being able to move about freely - no constraints, no limitations. The ability to move is often something we take for granted, but is more than putting your joints and muscles into motion. Moving without limitation allows you the freedom to accelerate toward your goals.
We know that how you physically feel greatly affects all areas of your life—personal, business, social and emotional. After all, this idea and our philosophy around it is where Look Better. Feel Better. came from.
That's why we developed Forever Move™, a natural blend of two powerful ingredients that support healthy muscles and joints not combined anywhere else in the world!
We've known for a long time that glucosamine and chondroitin help joints and muscles—but we wanted more. We needed something that worked fast, with clinically studied results, so we sourced the best of science and nature to create a combination that provided confirmed results in as little as 7-10 days. In fact, it is shown to be nearly 5x more clinically effective than glucosamine and chondroitin alone!
The membrane of egg shells, called NEM®, is a natural, food-sourced ingredient that delivers chondroitin, hyaluronic acid, glycosaminoglycans and collagen. This studied and cutting edge ingredient supports a healthy range of motion, enhances joint comfort and flexibility, promotes healthy cartilage, decreases stiffness in joints and promotes fast recovery from exercise. Who would have thought that such a delicate ingredient could provide so much power?
To this, we added another patented ingredient: curcumin from turmeric - and not just in any form - but a version called BioCurc that uses a proprietary, patented emulsification technology. Turmeric has been known for thousands of years to support joint health and bolster your body's antioxidant power, but this patented process increases the bioavailability by 200%--allowing your body maximum absorption to really put this amazing ingredient to work.
We know nature has the bounty to provide amazing benefits and we're so grateful we have the science to extract and perfect these particular ingredients in this powerful product.
Get Forever Move™, and get moving.

Redux Rebound
Heath Ledger had a torrid love affair with Heather Graham a few years ago before dating Naomi Watts. Now that he's single again, apparently he's looking to Heather for a booty call. Page Six is reporting that Heath recently ran into her at a restaurant and tried to cue up a booty call. The two exchanged numbers, no word yet on whether or not they ended up hooking up, though Heather currently has a boyfriend who is a restauranteur.
But if the sex was really as legendary as it was rumoured to be at the time between those two, chances are she went back for a repeat.

LOS ANGELES — A computer specialist at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory is going to court over allegations that he was wrongfully terminated because of his belief in intelligent design.
Opening statements in the lawsuit by David Coppedge were expected to start Tuesday morning in Los Angeles Superior Court after lawyers spent Monday arguing several pretrial motions.
Space news from NBCNews.com
Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Science editor Alan Boyle's blog: "Astronaut Abby" is at the controls of a social-media machine that is launching the 15-year-old from Minnesota to Kazakhstan this month for the liftoff of the International Space Station's next crew.
- Buzz Aldrin's vision for journey to Mars
- Giant black hole may be cooking up meals
- Watch a 'ring of fire' solar eclipse online
- Teen's space mission fueled by social media
Coppedge, who worked as a team lead on the Cassini mission exploring Saturn and its many moons, claims that he was discriminated against because he engaged his co-workers in conversations about intelligent design and handed out DVDs on the idea while at work.
Intelligent design is the belief that a higher power must have had a hand in creation because life is too complex to have developed through evolution alone.
Coppedge lost his team lead title in 2009 and was let go last year after 15 years on the mission.
In an emailed statement, JPL dismissed Coppedge's claims. In court papers, lawyers for the California Institute of Technology, which manages JPL for NASA, said Coppedge received a written warning because his co-workers complained of harassment.
They also said Coppedge lost his team lead status because of ongoing conflicts with others.
Caltech lawyers contend Coppedge was one of two Cassini technicians and among 246 JPL employees let go last year due to planned budget cuts.
The case has generated interest among supporters of intelligent design. The Alliance Defense Fund, a Christian civil rights group, and the Discovery Institute, a proponent of intelligent design, are both supporting Coppedge's case.
The National Center for Science Education, which rejects intelligent design as thinly veiled creationism, is also watching the case and has posted all the legal filings on its website.
Coppedge's attorney, William Becker, contends his client was singled out by his bosses because they perceived his belief in intelligent design to be religious. Coppedge had a reputation around JPL as an evangelical Christian, and interactions with co-workers led some to label him as a Christian conservative, Becker said.
In the lawsuit, Coppedge says he believes other things also led to his demotion, including his support for a state ballot measure that sought to define marriage as limited to heterosexual couples and his request to rename the annual holiday party a Christmas party.
Coppedge is seeking attorney's fees and costs, damages for wrongful termination and a statement from the judge that his rights were violated, said Becker.

Beimel closing in on Coors Field
Left-handed reliever Joe Beimel has turned another corner on his path back to the big leagues.
Beimel has joined the Rockies' Colorado Springs Triple A club and, well, as manager Jim Tracy put it, "You can anticipate he won't be sitting around too long."
The Rockies have been careful not to rush Beimel, who signed March 23rd, to the big leagues. But barring the unforeseen, he'll join the bullpen in a matter of days.
At this point, there's only one more obstacle for Beimel to hurdle before joining the Rockies: pitching back-to-back days.
Other news of note from Tracy's pre-game presser:
Taylor Buchholz threw a 35-pitch bullpen session in Tucson and will take another step in his rehab from Tommy John surgery in a matter of days: pitching a simulated game. The plan remains the same with Buchholz. If he continues on his current path, he could be at Coors Field in June.
Another pitcher still in Tucson at extended spring training, closer Huston Street, is in the midst of an exercise program intended for him to start throwing in the next few days. The Rockies have been careful not to put a date on his possible return, but the hope is that he could be on the mound in the big leagues in May.
Tracy, who used four bench players in his starting lineup in the Rockies' first day game after a night game, won't go that far Sunday. Todd Helton, who was replaced in the lineup by Jason Giambi Wednesday in Milwaukee, will start Sunday vs. the Padres.
Finally, there's the little matter of Jason Hammel's track record at Coors Field vs. the road. Hammel, acquired by the Rockies barely a year ago, was 3-3, 5.73 in Denver last season compared to 7-5, 3.13 on the road.
Tracy's thoughts? "He took care of that and fixed all that."
As in, Hammel wasn't the same pitcher later in the season as he was in the early going. The numbers certainly show it to be true. Hammel had a 5.59 ERA in April, 4.26 in the other five months.

Here it is guys the cat that you have all been waiting for from the Warrior Cats book series. I have been asked so many times if I could make a tutorial that will teach you "how to draw Graystripe", step by step. For those of you that are fans of the book series, you should already know who this feline is. He is a tom cat who belongs to the Thunderclan, and is best friends with Firestar. Before he meets his future best friend, Firestar was known as Rusty. Rusty lived in a house and was kept as a pet kitty. Once the house cat turns into the infamous Firestar, Graystripe becomes his very best friend. To prove that the two are almost inseparable, they both like training and eating together because this gives them time to talk, think and stay abreast of things. Unfortunately, Graystripe eventually falls in love with Silverstream, and the reason why I say this is a bad thing, is because she belongs to the Riverclan. Graystripe got his name due to the fact that he has a gray stripe that runs down his back. The stripe is noticeable because it is darker than the rest of his coat. Anyways I think you will have fun learning "how to draw Graystripe". I tried to keep the steps as simple as possible so that every fan of the book series can tackle this lesson. I might be back later, but then again I might not. Did I forget to mention that Christmas is only four days away? Wow, I'm feeling antsy. That's it guys peace out and enjoy the rest of your drawing day!

The fortified and dessert wines of Massandra are legendary, with a distinctive, full flavour that sets them apart from European and New World wines of similar ilk. More than that, the wines of Massandra occupy an important place at the heart of Russia's Imperial and cultural history. The winery there was built in the late 19th century in order to supply wines for the Tsar's Summer Palace, called "Livadia", near Yalta. Over the next few decades, Massandra produced wines to cater for the Tsar's every conceivable need, from wines for Church Communion to those for the Court, for social functions and for the Tsar's own personal pleasure. The winery has continued to produce first-class wines ever since and this, combined with the extraordinary architectural merit of its cellars and other buildings, has earned it a position as one of Russia's most revered officially-designated sites of national importance. Produced from vines that stretch almost the entire length of the South Coast of the Crimea, Massandra wines embrace a huge range of sweet wine styles, from Sherry to Madeira, from Port to Marsala, as well Tokays and Muscats. The tradition of wine-making in the Crimea goes back to the early 19th century - the result of one extraordinarily rich man's passion for wine. Reputedly richer than the Tsars themselves, Mikhail Vorontsov spared no expense in his quest to satisfy his insatiable thirst for good wine. To this end, he imported and planted innumerable types of vine from Western Europe and from these he managed to produce a number of successful wines. In 1894, encouraged by Voronstov's success in the region, Tsar Nicholas II decided to build his own winery there. It was an enormous undertaking. Work on the cellars took three years as miners dug deep into the mountainside to create a labyrinth of 21 tunnels (each over 150 metres long) that to this day rank among the finest cellars in the world. An ingenious feat of engineering (a series of carefully positioned air shafts ensures the temperature remains constantly cool, and fresh spring water creates a natural humidity of 90-95%), the cellars are also exceptionally solid and strong - when violent earthquakes caused widespread damage in the region in 1920, the cellars of Massandra were completely unscathed. In order to ensure that his wines were the best, the Tsar employed Prince Lev Sergervich Golitzin to oversee production at the winery. An extremely accomplished winemaker, Golitzin devoted himself to developing the wines that suited the region best, and it is these same wines that define Massandra's output today. Golitzin also had an extraordinary talent for blending wines, and his "creations" are legendary. His note-keeping, however, was not so consistent, and he took the recipe for many of his greatest blends with him to the grave. To this day, no one really knows how he made his legendary "Honey of Altae Pastures" and "Seventh Heaven" wines (although, after years of experimentation, the winery feels it has finally cracked the mystery of the latter and is about to release its own recreation). When, in 1920, Soviet Regime came to Crimea, Stalin ordered to preserve both the winery and its historic collection, and all wines found in the Tsar's many palaces to be moved to the cellars. Some wines bear the Tsar's seal. Production continued and Massandra maintained its impeccable reputation for exceptional wines. Wine is still made by the Massandra Collective, established under the Soviet time, where a number of member estates employ 5,000 people and farm 4,400 acres of vines. The bread and butter of Massandra is fortified wine, in a style similar to Port, and dessert wine made from Muscat, Tokay and Pinot Gris. The Massandra Collection is a treasure trove of ancient wines. The Massandra library retains a minimum of one bottle of every wine, but limited numbers of these historic wines are released for sale periodically. Today, at the most prestigious international wine auctions the list of Massandra wine is fascinating, from a single bottle of 1865 Yquem bottled for the Tsar at a cool £7,000, to a 1948 Massandra Tokay for £165, and rated at 96 points by Robert Parker. Younger wines from the 1980s are available from as little as £20 per bottle. Read less

After sustained pressure from human rights groups, particularly Serbia's Disability Rights Initiative (MDRI-S), the European Union has withdrawn support for the reconstruction of six institutions for disabled people in Serbia.The €5.1 million projecthas now beenredrafted to support the creation of community services that allow children and adults to leave institutions and livein the community.
This marks the first time that disability rights activists have succeeded in their demand that the European Union enforce their rights under the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.
Dragana Ciric Milovanovic, Executive Director of MDRI-S, explains,"Spending money to fix up these buildings is not the answer.New, shiny,facilities create magnets for new placements.Parents who wanttheir children to live at home are forced to give up their child to an institution because it's theironly option.They don't get any support to do otherwise.Even in a clean institution, people are still restrained, overmedicated, neglected and sexually abused."

definitions of the various types of health care vary depending on the different cultural, political, organizational and disciplinary perspectives, there appears to be some consensus that primary care constitutes the first element of a continuing health care process, that may also include the provision of secondary and tertiary levels of care. Thanks.

January is officially two weeks old, the holiday season is behind us and a long winter lay ahead. It's time for our monthly check in.
How's your MS today?
The months after the end-of-year holidays can be a difficult time for people living with multiple sclerosis. I once read (I have no idea where or when) that more MS relapses happen the first six weeks or so into the new year than any other time of the calendar. That is, of course, if you take out the first three months after a woman gives birth (but that's a post of a different color).
As you check in with yourself and our community with this month's checkup, I'd also like to ask that you think about this blog as well.
We're soon to mark seven years of blogging about living with multiple sclerosis. Sometimes topics come easily and sometimes I struggle to (and oft, I'm sure, miss the mark) find something worth your time two or three times each week. I'd like you to offer up a topic or two that you'd like to see covered (or talked about again) in our tri-weekly chats.
I can't promise I'll use each of your suggestions, but I'd like to think of this as our community far more than just my blog.
So; How is your MS today and what might you like to see discussed in the New Year?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.
You can also follow me via our Life With MS Facebook page, on Twitter, and in our group on MS Connection.org. Also, check out our bi-monthly MS blog for the United Kingdom, look for our very special new monthly blog for the National MS Society, and don't forget to check out TrevisLGleason.com.

HARLEM — Cops have arrested a suspect in the beatings and robberies of eight people of Asian descent in East Harlem — and sources said he wanted the cash to buy drugs.
Jason Commisso, 34, was captured Monday about 11 p.m. on a southbound bus traveling on the New Jersey Turnpike in Gloucester County, according to Lt. Stephen Jones of the New Jersey State Police.
Police said Commisso is suspected in eight violent robberies in which he followed people of Asian descent into elevators and punched and beat them, mostly in the face, before robbing them of their purses, wallets or electronics.
He allegedly mugged the victims because he needed money to buy crack, sources said.
New Jersey troopers, working with the NYPD, spotted the bus carrying Commisso Monday night near exit 2 on the turnpike, near Moorestown, Jones said. They pulled the bus over and found Commisso sleeping in the back, and they arrested him without incident, sources said.
He is being held at the state police barracks in Moorestown and has been charged as a fugitive from justice, Jones and sources said. Commisso is being held without bail pending extradition.
"We can breathe easier now," said East Harlem Councilwoman Melissa Mark-Viverito, who has worked to make the community aware of the attacks. "These brutal robberies have shaken all of us in the community."
In the latest attack on Saturday, just before a rally about the incidents, a 57-year-old Asian man suffered a broken nose after he was followed into the elevator of his apartment building on East 97th Street and beaten and robbed.
In other incidents, a 64-year-old man's nose was broken on Monday, Jan. 21 before the mugger made off with his wallet, police said.
On Wednesday, Jan. 23, the alleged mugger struck twice, robbing a 46-year-old man after punching him in the face and striking a 62-year-old man in the face before stealing his cell phone and wallet in an elevator.
On Thursday, the mugger repeatedly punched a 47-year-old woman before fleeing with her purse, cops said.
Her stolen credit card was used at a McDonald's at 1872 Third Ave. about 40 minutes later, according to police who released a video.
Police Commissioner Raymond Kelly called the attacks "vicious" and cited Commisso's long arrest record. Police flooded the zone with more cops, some of whom spoke Cantonese and Mandarin.
The attacks come as the Asian population in East Harlem is on the rise, increasing by almost 4,000 people since the 2000 Census.
Kelly said it wasn't clear if the attacks qualified as a hate crime but the Hate Crimes Unit is helping to investigate the case.
Mark-Viverito called on the Manhattan district attorney's office to prosecute the case to the "fullest extent of the law in order to send a message that these acts of violence will not be tolerated."

Our weekly college football shame index previews the bowls through New Year's Eve.
Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl: Rice (6-6) vs. Air Force (6-6), Saturday
Air Force losing to Rice would be our country's most shameful military defeat, but could it happen? Unfortunately, yes. The Falcons have a kicking game that is, shall we say, total ass. Senior kicker Parker Herrington went 15-for-18 last season, including 12-for-15 on kicks from the 30 and beyond, but this year he's converted only four tries out of 10 and is one for six outside the 30-yard line. Even more disturbing: All of Herrington's misses have gone to the EAST side of the goalpost, the surest sign he is a sleeper North Korean agent.
I will not live in a country whose fighting forces lose to a grain. Why shouldn't I just emigrate now? Only three bowl teams allowed more than five yards a carry this year. Rice is one of those three. Air Force is second in the country in rushing plays per game, averaging 63 per contest. Math! It's fun! (Unless you're Rice. Then it's not fun and your teachers lied to you.)
Is a military helicopter cooler than a jet fighter? That's a good question, and a tough one, so we went to noted military historian Prof. Nicolas Cage and asked for his expert opinion.
I'd like to know which player the Rice offense runs through, for definitely not kidnapping purposes. Your best best is Taylor McHargue, one of 13 players in FBS this year to throw for 2,000 yards and run for 500. Also, don't kidnap a Rice player. You'll have to listen to hours of bullshit about Rice and the U.S. News and World Report rankings. This is the same reason you should not kidnap anyone who went to Michigan.
New Era Pinstripe Bowl: West Virginia (7-5) vs. Syracuse (7-5), Saturday
Just how bad is West Virginia's defense? In an ideal world, your secondary would not yield any completions at all, but most coaches (not you, Rick Neuheisel), recognize that we live in a world that is far from ideal and thus must try to limit and contain an opponent's passing attack. Sometimes that means forcing the other team to make shorter, safer throws. Other times, you are West Virginia, and you allow teams to throw for 9.6 yards per passing ATTEMPT.
So what does Syracuse have to do to win this game? Let me just reach into my box of Clichéd Answers and … a ha! "Avoid Turnovers." Syracuse is plus-nine in turnover margin in wins this year and minus-10 in losses (and in each of the latter the Orange turned the ball over at least twice).
And where does West Virginia's high-powered offense fit into this? The key for the Mountaineers on offense seems to be completion percentage. When they hit on 69 percent or better of their throws, they win. When that percentage drops below 69, they lose. Does this double as a convenient and easy Dana Holgorsen joke? It does. It very much does.
I still don't understand—why didn't Pitt get Syracuse's slot here to give us a Backyard Brawl rematch? Because this game is played in Yankee Stadium, and George Steinbrenner's ghost does not care about your happiness.
Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl: Navy (8-4) vs. Arizona State (7-5), Saturday
Todd Graham's reputation could use a little polishing. Anything positive you can offer? In 2011, Arizona State was a penalty machine, getting flagged 94 times in the regular season. The 2012 Sun Devils, however, drew only 54 penalties this year, tied for 12th fewest overall. Also, to my knowledge Todd Graham has never been accused of trafficking in illegal weapons.
How exactly is Kraft fighting hunger with a bowl game? At halftime, a giant pinata shaped like a box of macaroni is dangled above midfield, and hundreds of local underprivileged children are given baseball bats. The pinata is a decoy, however, and instead the children must use the bats to defeat an angry elephant with "HUNGER" clumsily spray-painted on its side.
Would you like to make a terrible joke about Navy and national defense? I did, but now you've ruined it. Instead I'll just say that the Midshipmen are 123rd in the nation in opponent's passing completion percentage at 68.2 percent. This will be especially interesting given that the top four receivers for Arizona State include two running backs and a tight end.
Which player in this game would make the easiest final puzzle answer on Wheel of Fortune? Navy's Gee Gee Greene.
Valero Alamo Bowl: Texas (8-4) vs. Oregon State (9-3), Saturday
What is a family-friendly adjective you can use for the Texas defense? Confusing. For example: When opponents reached the red zone this season, the Longhorns stopped them from scoring only five times … but they largely limited those scores to field goals, finishing 54th in red zone touchdown percentage allowed.
Is that something Oregon State can take advantage of? Potentially—the Beavers offense was 10th in the nation in scoring percentage inside the 20, at 91 percent. Texas will be forced to defend an 80-yard field, in effect, which is just one more cruel twist of fate visited upon Mack Brown, History's Richest Martyr.
My religion doesn't recognize the validity of red zone statistics as a metric. What else can you offer me? Alternatively, this game may turn on Texas's third-down play. The Longhorns are eighth in the nation with a conversion rate of 50.31 percent, but Oregon State is sixth overall in third-down defense, allowing opponents to convert only four times a game on average.
Which team is going to be hungriest to win this game? An impossible question to answer, for all men are equally hungry to capture the Alamo Bowl trophy, which is made from delicious sopapilla.
Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl: TCU (7-5) vs. Michigan State (6-6), Saturday
What is Buffalo Wild Wings doing about Avian influenza? This is a real question-and-answer posted on the Buffalo Wild Wings website, to which the company does not offer these perfectly reasonable responses: 1. You are eating at Buffalo Wild Wings and therefore have no interest in public health issues 2. Buffalo Wild Wings should not be anyone's primary source on matters epidemiological.
What is a mostly meaningless fact I can cite if pressed to say something about this game? Michigan State, winner of last year's Outback Bowl, has not won a bowl game in back-to-back years since 1989-1990. Conversely, there are only three active coaches with more bowl wins than Gary Patterson's seven.
This is the part where you talk about how terrible the Spartan offense is, right? So, so terrible—Michigan State has scored only 25 touchdowns, 120th overall in FBS, and its 20.3 points per game is the lowest output of any team that made a bowl game. Fortunately, TCU is only third in the nation with 21 interceptions, so technically it could be worse!
Can the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl provide me with a source of alternative currency? Apparently, yes. Please note that these coins are not legal tender and leaving one as a tip is likely to get you blackballed from any restaurant, including a Buffalo Wild Wings.
Franklin American Mortgage Music City Bowl: NC State (7-5) vs. Vanderbilt (8-4), Monday
Could this game be any more tailor-made for Vanderbilt? Considering they are coached by James FRANKLIN, a real AMERICAN who probably has a MORTGAGE on a house in the MUSIC CITY of Nashville, no, no it could not. This will become abundantly clear when Jordan Rodgers becomes the first quarterback allowed to call his own fouls.
I think the running game is antiquated and should be abandoned. Which team should I support? North Carolina State has heard your cry and is working in secret to undermine the entire concept of a rushing attack. That's why they put up the fewest yards per carry (3.15) of any bowl team. Keep to the shadows, fellow believer, and look for the signal to strike!
What does Vanderbilt need to do to win this game? Force a turnover. In the six games where they didn't force a turnover, the Commodores went 3-3, which is actually more like 1-3 because two of those wins were against Auburn and Kentucky.
I miss Tom O'Brien—what will he be doing while this is on? The same thing he does every Monday: shell a pound of walnuts, then throw them all out because shellin' is its own treat.
Hyundai Sun Bowl: USC (7-5) vs. Georgia Tech (6-7), Monday
That Georgia Tech triple option has to be a bear for non-conference opponents to prep for, yeah? Definitely, if you're FCS basement-dweller Presbyterian, the only non-ACC team the Yellow Jackets beat this year. Every other out-of-conference game Georgia Tech played resulted in a loss by at least three touchdowns.
Who needs to step up for the Trojans? Let's randomly pick freshman Leonard Williams, who's second on the team in tackles for loss with 13 but who made only 2.5 of those in USC's five losses.
I read something about the Sun Court. Is that the secret judicial body that controls the weather that my uncle was talking about at Thanksgiving? No, you're thinking of the Brotherhood of Fūjin. The Sun Court is just the name of a pageant associated with this game. (Don't worry, Lane Kiffin. You're still the prettiest.)
Which team should I root for here? Trojans, because Georgia Tech's seven-game bowl losing streak is an important part of the American hilarity industry.
AutoZone Liberty Bowl: Iowa State (6-6) vs. Tulsa (10-3), Monday
What is a Golden Hurricane? The weather phenomenon that occurs when Iowa State's defense, which collected only 15 sacks all year, goes up against Tulsa's offense, fourth-stingiest in the nation, having allowed only eight sacks.
Football in Memphis has to be a waste of time and energy, yes? Don't be so quick to judge. The last seven Liberty Bowls have all been decided by one score or less and have given us classics like "UCF Stimulates Georgia's Plaquemaking Economy." It's not football in Memphis that's useless; it's football played by Memphis. Big difference.
What will spell doom for Iowa State? If possible, please give me an unreliable statistical category with a small sample size. Fumbles. The Cyclones don't do it often, as they're tied for fourth fewest with only 10 fumbles all year, but when they do, it ends badly, as the defense has recovered eight of those 10.
What is the Liberty that we are celebrating with this game? Yours and mine, because we are all free to refuse to watch this bowl until Paul Rhoads brings that rugged-as-hell beard of his back to life.
Chick-fil-A Bowl: LSU (10-2) vs. Clemson (10-2), Monday
Does this coaching matchup have the highest sum of crazy ever? Close, but Les Miles-Dabo Swinney still falls slightly behind the 1973 Bluebonnet Bowl, when Hobo Pete the Circus Bear led Houston to a win over a Tulane team coached by an Oldsmobile with a body in the trunk.
But LSU will probably just run all over Clemson, right? Don't be so sure. The LSU running game took a slight dip this year, especially toward the end of the season, averaging under four yards a carry in the last four games. Meanwhile, Clemson finally seemed to get its run defense in order down the stretch, holding all of its last five opponents under 150 yards.
OK, what about Tajh Boyd? He'll still screw this one up, right? Boyd's third in the nation, averaging 9.4 yards per pass attempt, and until the loss to South Carolina he didn't have a single game this season in which he threw more interceptions than touchdowns. So I guess what I'm saying is ...
Clemson might win this game??? Oh, hell no. They're Clemson as shit, after all.

Obama: Russian intervention completely illegitimate
WASHINGTON--With the Russians showing no signs of withdrawing the thousands of troops they have deployed into the Crimean region of the Ukraine, the Obama administration warned on Sunday that Russia's military action could lead to Moscow's international isolation and result in a "long-term hit" to the Russian economy.
In his phone call on Saturday with Russian President Vladimir Putin and other leaders in the region over the weekend, Obama repeatedly complained of the Russian actions in Ukraine, even as White House officials spoke to Moscow about an off-ramp to end the crisis, according to three senior administration officials.
"The president's point in all of his calls is to point out the complete illegitimacy of Russia's intervention in the Crimea and Ukraine," said an official, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss the sensitive administration efforts.
A second senior administration official said Russia has moved 6,000 troops into the Crimean peninsula, and that there are signs of tensions being "stirred up" in eastern Ukraine between ethnic Russians and Ukrainians. The administration official declined to assign blame to a particular person or party for the tension.
Meanwhile, the State Department announced Secretary of State John Kerry will travel to Kiev on Tuesday to huddle with Ukraine officials. The State Department also announced that Victoria Nuland, assistant secretary of State for European and Eurasian affairs was heading to Vienna on Sunday to meet with senior officials of the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe to discuss the Ukraine situation.
"Secretary Kerry will meet with senior representatives of Ukraine's new government, leaders of the Rada, and members of civil society," said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. "The Secretary will reaffirm the United States' strong support for Ukrainian sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and the right of the Ukrainian people to determine their own future, without outside interference or provocation."
One official charged that Putin was using "19th and 20th century" decision making to address his modern-day concerns in Ukraine.
"What he needs to understand is that in terms of his economy he lives in a 21st century world," said the official, who noted Russian currency has taken a big hit over the last three days with the Ruble is now down 8.3% since the beginning of the year.
On Sunday morning, Kerry hit the Sunday talk shows, where he noted the Obama administration is preparing to hit Russia with economic penalties if it continues its aggression inside the Ukraine.
Obama also spoke by phone about the situation in Ukraine on Sunday with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, British Prime Minister David Cameron and Polish President Bronislaw Maria Komorowski, a senior administration official said.
While Obama "flatly rejected" Putin's rationale for deploying troops into the Ukraine, he did suggest to the Russian president an out to end the crisis, one official said. The Russians have raised concern about the safety of their military installation within Crimea as well as raising concerns about ethnic Russians living within the region.
Obama and Putin "began talking about a way ahead with the president (Obama) pressing that there were other ways for Putin to address any concerns he might have and that they could be addressed," a senior administration official said.
Obama specifically noted that the transitional Ukrainian leadership is eager for dialogue and that they were committed to maintaining the rights of all minorities in Ukraine.
Obama "also stressed if there were concerns about safety (of the base) or minorities, there were international tools available to President Putin--monitoring through the United Nations, monitoring and observation through the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe and that we the United States would support both Russia and the Ukraine if they wanted to avail themselves to those tools," the official said.
"Putin did not slam the door on that, but there was agreement to continue to discuss," the official said.

Riusuke Fukahori, a Japanese artist with an endearing obsession with goldfish, paints three-dimensional renditions of the fish by using a complex process of poured resin on authentic Japanese household containers.
Fukahori strives to paint the goldfish as realistically as possible. His love for the funny looking fish goes beyond words, and the only way to truly pay homage to his 'friends' is through creating these unbelievably real-looking sculptures made out of resin. Fukahori keeps dozens of goldfish in tanks and buckets around his studio, he sits and watches the goldfish when he feels uninspired or simply needs company.
His work can be quite deceiving; the goldfish look so real that when people first see his work they find it impossible not to try to reach into the 'water' and touch the 'fish.'
Each of Fukahori's resin pieces [the resin goldfish] are contained in a variety of everyday Japanese household items. His usage of these items in his work reflects a personal touch, as many of the containers used were bowls and cups that he himself used for years.
The goldfish resin sculptures entail very complicated, repetitive, and labor intensive steps. He first pours a layer of resin, then lets it dry, then paints a small portion of the fish, then lets it dry, then pours another layer of resin—he patiently repeats these steps until the final product is achieved.
"I didn't invent resin and not the first to use resin. I am not a resin artist. I am a goldfish artist. I think it's obvious which pieces are Riusuke Fukahori pieces because the imitators use the wrong containers. They will never understand goldfish the way I do. They are only copying the craft, not the soul."
The Painted Breath, an exhibition of new resin works and paintings by Fukahori, will be on exhibition at the Joshua Liner Gallery in New York on November 21st,2013 till January 18th,2014.

3 Steps to Spectacular Success in Your Forever Business
No matter what level of success you're at, you never stop learning, and you never stop growing. There's always something more you can do to be great, to be better, and to be unstoppable.
Here's my top tips to help you:
1. Get Real with Your Fears
Take a look at your own patterns of behaviour and thoughts – what is coming up for you again and again that is preventing you from making progress towards your goals? Are you telling yourself that success is meant for other people and not for you?
Or maybe you reach a certain level of success and find yourself getting complacent because you're fearful of what lies in the unknown? Whatever your limited belief is, your fear has more power when you ignore it.
To create a breakthrough, choose to NAME your fear first – identify exactly what you're saying to yourself that is limiting or destructive.
Next, DECIDE you're going to do things differently from here on in.
Then, REPLACE your negative thought or belief with something more powerfully positive and affirming that you can say to yourself every day to support you in success.
2. Be Grateful and Giving
The energy you bring to your business, and the relationships and situations within it, strongly effects the type of results and outcomes you create. People who are positive, kind and happy, are more likely to build better relationships and are more productive too.
Be the person who shows up for their day with energy and fun.
Be the person who shows up for their 1:1's or Business Presentations with the intention to create value and give.
Be the person who is grateful for every step on the journey of success, and for every sale, team member, and positive conversation.
When you're responsible for who you are and how you show up, you welcome in more success, and enjoy the journey along the way as well.
Where can you practice this this week?
3. Expect Bigger Success
If you expect success, that's what you'll create. Therefore, why not expect massive success instead of mediocre success? Your mind is so powerful to create a vision for you to step in to, and the more you stretch your mind to see bigger things, the more your belief will rise up to meet it. It might not always be easy, but by visualising the biggest, brightest, best version of yourself will help you see your potential and create your reality to match it.
Take 20 minutes to write down your vision for your best self – make it as big and as bold as you can!
Put these 3 simple steps into action consistently, and you'll be well on your way to a winning mindset that supports spectacular success within Forever.
With Gratitude,

NEW ORLEANS (AP) Ray Rice has known nothing but winning since he came into the NFL.
For Frank Gore, it took a while.
Two running backs with contrasting styles and story lines will be on display at this Super Bowl, but they have one thing in common - plenty of respect for each other.
``To battle through what he's been through? He's a warrior,'' Rice said Monday evening, shortly after the Baltimore Ravens arrived in the Big Easy. ``Hats off to my man Frank.''
Gore, the leading rusher for the San Francisco 49ers, also was generous with the praise.
``He does it all. I love to watch him,'' Gore said of his Ravens counterpart. ``When I saw him in college, I knew he was going to be a pretty good back in the league.''
They both are.
But, boy, they sure took different paths to get here.
The 29-year-old Gore has endured plenty of losses, personal heartache (losing his mother to kidney failure) and a startling string of injuries that might've broken a lesser man. He tore up both knees in college at the University of Miami, prompting him to wonder if ``football wasn't for me.'' Shaking off the doubts, he was drafted by the 49ers, but needed major surgery on both shoulders after his rookie campaign. Later, he lost part of another season to a hip injury.
Even harder to take, Gore played on a series of bad teams. Really bad teams. His first six years in the league, the 49ers failed to post a winning record - which was especially hard for him to take, considering he had known nothing but winning with the Hurricanes.
``It was tough, real tough,'' Gore said. ``I would see some guys - who are not here anymore - after we lost, and they would just be like, `Whatever.' I was not used to that. If we lost one game at Miami, it was like our season was over.''
One of his teammates, fullback Bruce Miller, has noticed the determination in Gore's eyes as the team prepares to face the Baltimore Ravens in the title game Sunday.
``It means a lot to him,'' Miller said. ``In meetings and at practice, you can see how intense and focused he is. He's worked hard for it.''
For Rice, the road has been much smoother.
Since he was drafted in 2008 out of Rutgers, the Ravens have made the playoffs every season, including three trips to the ACC championship game. This season, they got over that hump with a major upset at New England.
``I've been blessed and fortunate,'' Rice said.
Rice is a slasher of a back, darting through the smallest of openings to break off big gains. He's rushed for more than 1,000 yards four years in a row and is just as valuable in the passing game, recording more than 60 receptions each of those seasons, as well.
In a November game at San Diego, he provided one of the most memorable plays of 2012. With the Ravens down by three and facing fourth-and-29, he hauled in a pass just past the line of scrimmage, swerved away from three defenders, broke a tackle that would have clinched the victory for the Chargers and lunged just beyond the first-down stripe for a 30-yard gain.
The Ravens kicked a tying field goal, then won the game in overtime.
Gore is a power back, someone who can churn out the tough yards between the tackles. That style has served him well; he's run for more than 1,000 yards six of the last seven seasons and become San Francisco's career leader in rushing touchdowns.
``We always credit Frank with the tough yards,'' Miller said. ``He doesn't get the easy runs. It's up the middle, three or four yards a carry. But he just continues to move the chains. That's why we're here.''
Despite their lofty numbers, both running backs are a bit overlooked heading into the title game.
In San Francisco, quarterback Colin Kaepernick and the pistol offense are all the rage. For Baltimore, much of the attention is focused on retiring linebacker Ray Lewis and quarterback Joe Flacco, who has finally escaped his playoff demons.
``When you look at the criticism that Flacco has been through, and you see what a young quarterback like Kaepernick is doing, I would make them the headlines, too,'' Rice said. ``I'm just being honest.''
But, chances are, Rice and Gore will have a significant impact on the outcome Sunday, especially since their rookie backups - LaMichael James in San Francisco, Bernard Pierce in Baltimore - emerged as major threats late in the season and playoffs, taking some of the load off the two starters.
``It keeps me fresh,'' Gore said. ``Early in my career, I probably wouldn't have liked it. Now, it gets me ready for the fourth quarter. When the defense is wearing down, that's when I get going.''
All the warm and fuzzy feelings will be put on hold in the Super Bowl.
But no matter who's hoisting the trophy at the end of the game, Gore and Rice will remain fans of each other.
``We don't have to hit each other,'' Rice quipped. ``I'd like to win on Sunday. I don't want to see him do good on our defense. But any other time I watch Frank Gore do well, I'm happy for him.''
