Capri (abbreviation of CAbal PRIvate) is a wrapper program on top of cabal-install to operate it in project-private mode. In this mode, there is no global or user package databases; only one package database is defined, private to the project, located under the root directory of a project.
Capri is mainly intended for use with projects organized as Cabal packages targeting executables rather than just libraries. Capri is intended for use with Glasgow Haskell Compiler only as it depends on certain its features. It is also recommended to use cabal-install of recent versions (as of July 2010, the most recent version is 0.8.2).
A situation is possible, when a local (global or user or both) Cabal packages database contains a package of the same name, but of several versions. Over time, other packages may be installed, depending on various versions of that package. Bad things happen when a new package is to be built, depending on other packages which in turn depend on different versions of the package mentioned first.
While such situation may be cured by careful tracing of dependencies, removal of old versions of packages, and rebuilding of new packages, there is a way to avoid it from the beginning. For each package, create a private database of packages it depends upon. This makes practical sense mainly for packages targeting statically linked executables, ensuring a clean build environment. Other than this, private building may be used for test builds of library packages as well, but it is not recommended to use libraries built privately together in other packages.
The Glasgow Haskell Compiler uses the GHC_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable to describe the location of Haskell packages database. A typical configuration of such database consists of global and user databases. Default locations of these databases are known to the compiler even when the variable is not set.
It is however possible to make GHC not to use any of these databases, and point it to an alternative location instead. In order to do this, the variable has to contain a single path, and not to be terminated with a path delimiter (colon or semicolon, depending on Unix/Windows platrorm). This is how project-private build is achieved at GHC level. Cabal-install in turn requires several options to be specified, to restrict itself to using only private packages database to look for installed packages, and the installation directory prefix which is also local to a project.

Building Executables with Capri
This chapter covers the general scenario of building executables using Capri. We will call a Cabal package targeting one or more executables, containing its own private package database and build with use of Capri "the project". All other Cabal packages involved in building of the project will be referred to as just "packages".
Layout of Capri Files
Capri keeps its files under the .capri subdirectory of the project's root directory. Private packages database is located in .capri/packages, and compiled packages are installed in .capri/install subdirectories. Thus, typical location of executables built is .capri/install/bin relative to the project's root.
Bootstrapping Private Packages Database
Building of a package cannot start with entirely empty packages database: several essential packages have to be installed in order to build the project:
base ffi ghc-prim integer-gmp rts
It is assumed that some minimal GHC installation exists that contains at least these packages.
The capri bootstrap command created the private packages database and installation directory. Next, it clones the above mentioned packages into the private database. The capri list command may be used to verify that all packages have been installed properly, and the project is ready to build.
Building and Installation
The easiest way to build a project with Capri is just to type a shortcut command:
capri install
at the shell prompt once the private packages database has been bootstrapped. This results in running cabal install command within the project's top directory, with GHC_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable set properly, and --package-db and --prefix options supplied. If any custom options are needed, another (more flexible) form of this command may be issued:
capri cabal -- install <any options and parameters>
Note the double hyphen after cabal: anything following it will never be treated as options, and will be passed to the cabal-install program.
Although the install command covers package configuration and building, two more shortcut commands are available: capri configure and capri build.
Cloning Already Compiled Packages
Cloning was mentioned earlier in the Bootstrapping paragraph. Any of the packages installed in the global or user package database can be "cloned" into the private packages database of the project.
Technically cloning is equivalent to running the ghc-pkg describe <package-name> command piping its standard output to the ghc-pkg register command while the first command runs with GHC_PACKAGE_PATH set to access the global and user package databases, and the second runs with GHC_PACKAGE_PATH set to access the project private packages database.
Importing Local Source Packages
Cabal-install is capable of automatic chasing project dependencies, downloading, compiling, and installing their code. If however a package the project depends upon is not on Hackage or any other repository known to Cabal-install, the only way to bring it into the scope of the project's private package database is to manually compile it. This however should be done with respect to the project's private package configuration: all additional dependencies should be looked up in and installed into the project's packages database as well.
The capri import command serves this purpose. Its typical syntax is
capri import directory [-- command options]
The command is equivalent to running the cabal install in the other package's directory, but with GHC_PACKAGE_PATH set to the project's packages database, also supplying the --package-db and --prefix options as needed.
Simply typing capri install directory without any additional options results in execution of cabal install in directory. Note however that if double hyphen is used, command line parameters to the right of it should contain a command (configure, install, etc.)
Advanced Topics
Running ghc-pkg and cabal-install
The paragraphs above described shortcut commands (e. g. capri install or capri list) which execute cabal-install or ghc-pkg programs with predefined set of options. For more complex tasks such as manual unregistering of packages, or building the project with specific options, capri has two commands that allow running cabal-install or ghc-pkg with any parameters, ensuring at the same time that the project's private package database and installation prefix are addressed correctly.
These commands are capri ghc-pkg and capri cabal. Their syntax is similar:
capri [cabal|ghc-pkg] -- commands and options
Note the use of the double hyphen. It separates command line arguments that capri tries to interpret as options from command line arguments that will be passed to the program (cabal-install or ghc-pkg) to run.
This can be illustrated by these examples (compare the output, only few top lines shown):
$ capri cabal --help capri cabal -- <cabal or Setup command options> -h --help Show this help text -D --omit-package-db Omit the --package-db option for cabal commands that do not understand it -P --omit-prefix Omit the --prefix option for cabal commands that do not understand it -S --setup Use the Setup.{hs|lhs} installation program instead of Cabal-install ..........................
$ capri cabal -- --help This program is the command line interface to the Haskell Cabal infrastructure. See http://www.haskell.org/cabal/ for more information. Usage: cabal COMMAND [FLAGS] or: cabal [GLOBAL FLAGS] Global flags: -h --help Show this help text -V --version Print version information --numeric-version Print just the version number ..........................
For example, if a particular package needs to be installed into the project's private packages database, and it can be downloaded by cabal-install, the following command will do:
capri cabal -- install package-name
If a package needs to be unregistered from the project's private packages database, use this command:
capri ghc-pkg -- unregister
and the --force option may be supplied as well.
Both cabal-install and ghc-pkg will be run with the GHC_PACKAGE_PATH environment variable set to the project's packages database. The capri cabal command has two additional options, -D and -P. Use them to omit the --package-db and --prefix options that would normally be passed to cabal-install: some of its commands do not understand these options, e. g.:
capri -DP cabal -- check
since cabal check would fail if any of these options appeared on its command line.
Running Setup.{hs|lhs} Instead of Cabal-Install
Capri commands import and cabal have additional option, -S or --setup. If used, capri will execute runghc Setup instead of cabal. This may pose a chicken-and-egg problem: typical Setup program needs the Cabal library to be in scope; Cabal itself has dependencies with their own Setup programs. So this option is not anticipated to be used frequently, perhaps in some marginal cases. However it is available.

text: U.S. health officials have begun to predict the end of cigarette smoking in America. They have long wished for a cigarette-free America, but shied away from calling for smoking rates to fall to zero or near zero by any particular year. The power of tobacco companies and popularity of their products made such a goal seem like a pipe dream. But a confluence of changes has recently prompted public health leaders to start throwing around phrases like "endgame" and "tobacco-free generation." Now, they talk about the slowly-declining adult smoking rate dropping to 10 percent in the next decade and to 5 percent or lower by 2050. Acting U.S. Surgeon General Boris Lushniak last month released a 980-page report on smoking that pushed for stepped-up tobacco-control measures. His news conference was an unusually animated showing of anti-smoking bravado, with Lushniak nearly yelling, repeatedly, "Enough is enough!""I can't accept that we're just allowing these numbers to trickle down," he said, in a recent interview with the AP. "We believe we have the public health tools to get us to the zero level." This is not the first time a U.S. health official has spoken so boldly. In 1984, Surgeon General C. Everett Koop called for a "smoke-free society" by the year 2000. However, Koop -- a bold talker on many issues -- didn't offer specifics on how to achieve such a goal. "What's different today is that we have policies and programs that have been proven to drive down tobacco use," said Matthew Myers, president of the Campaign for Tobacco-Free Kids. "We couldn't say that in 1984." Among the things that have changed: --Cigarette taxes have increased, making smokes more expensive. Though prices vary from state to state, on average a pack of cigarettes that would have sold for about $1.75 20 years ago would cost more than triple that now. --Laws banning smoking in restaurants, bars and workplaces have popped up all over America. Airline flights have long been off-limits for smoking. --Polls show that cigarette smoking is no longer considered normal behavior, and is now less popular among teens than marijuana. --Federal officials are increasingly aggressive about anti-smoking advertising. The Food and Drug Administration launched a new youth tobacco prevention campaign last week. At about the same time, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention debuted a third, $60-million round of its successful anti-tobacco ad campaign -- this one featuring poignant, deathbed images of a woman featured in earlier ads. --Tobacco companies, once considered impervious to legal attack, have suffered some huge defeats in court. Perhaps the biggest was the 1998 settlement of a case brought by more than 40 states demanding compensation for the costs of treating smoking-related illnesses. Big Tobacco agreed to pay about $200 billion and curtail marketing of cigarettes to youths. --Retailing of cigarettes is changing, too. CVS Caremark, the second-largest U.S. pharmacy chain, announced last week it will stop selling tobacco products at its more than 7,600 drugstores. The company said it made the decision in a bid to focus more on providing health care, but medical and public health leaders predicted pressure will increase on companies like Walgreen Co. and Wal-Mart Stores Inc. to follow suit. "I do think, in another few years, that pharmacies selling cigarettes will look as anachronistic" as old cigarette ads featuring physician endorsements look today, said CDC Director Dr. Tom Frieden. These developments have made many in public health dream bigger. It's caused Myers' organization and others to recently tout the goal of bringing the adult smoking rate down to 10 percent by 2024, from the current 18 percent. That would mean dropping it at twice the speed it declined over the last 10 years. The bigger goal is to reduce U.S. smoking-related deaths to fewer than 10,000, from the current level of 480,000. But even if smoking rates dropped to zero immediately, it would take decades to see that benefit, since smoking-triggered cancers can take decades to develop. But while some experts and advocates are swinging for the fences, others are more pessimistic. They say the key to reaching such goals is not simply more taxes and more local smoking bans, but action by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to regulate smoking. A 2009 U.S. law gave the FDA the authority to regulate tobacco products. The law barred the FDA from outright blocking the sale of cigarettes, but the agency was free to take such pivotal steps as prohibiting the use of appealing menthol flavoring in cigarettes and requiring cigarette makers to ratchet down the amount of addictive nicotine in each smoke. But nearly five years after gaining power over cigarettes, FDA has yet to even propose such regulations. Agency officials say they're working on it. A spokesman for Altria Group Inc., the maker of Marlboro, said the company supports FDA exercising its regulatory authority over tobacco products. But as a whole, the industry has tended to fight regulation. Some of America's largest tobacco companies -- though not Altria -- sued to stop FDA-proposed graphic warning labels on cigarette packs. A federal court blocked the ads. "The industry makes money as long as they can delay regulation," said Kenneth Warner, a University of Michigan public health professor who is a leading authority on smoking and health. Warner and Michigan colleague David Mendez estimate that, barring any major new tobacco control victories, the adult smoking rate will drop from its current 18 percent only to about 12 percent by 2050. If health officials do make huge strides, the rate could drop as low as 6 percent, they think. But Lushniak said zero. Will that ever happen? Some experts doubt it. As long as cigarettes and other combustible tobacco products are legal, it's likely some people will smoke them. "It's hard to do a ban on cigarettes because you're taking something away from people they have and are using. Once you have something, you hold tight," said Richard Daynard, a Northeastern University law professor who focuses on tobacco issues. Better, he said, to bar people from having a product in the first place. He is intrigued by legal efforts in Singapore and a handful of other countries to ban sales of tobacco to anyone born after a certain year -- 2000, say. That would be constitutional, he said. The question is: Would American culture accept it? Probably not, said Ruth Malone, editor-in-chief of the scientific journal Tobacco Control. "In our culture, we tend to think we have a right to things even if they're terrible for us," she said. A growing number of experts believe the most promising option is to get people to switch voluntarily to something else, like electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarettes are battery-powered devices that provide users with aerosol puffs that typically contain nicotine, and sometimes flavorings like fruit, mint or chocolate. They've often been described as a less dangerous alternative to regular cigarettes. But there are few studies exploring exactly what chemicals are in them, and in what concentrations, and whether those levels are harmful. They're controversial: Some experts believe that at a time when cigarette smoking has finally become passe in popular culture, e-cigarettes may re-glamorize puffing away in public places. Cigarette sales could surge. "It could go in either direction," said John Seffrin, the American Cancer Society's chief executive officer. But if the FDA can ratchet down nicotine in conventional cigarettes to levels below what's in e-cigarettes, perhaps everyone who clings to smoking will switch to the higher-nicotine new products. That could achieve the end of smoking, at least of combustible, carcinogen-filled cigarettes -- or so the thinking goes. In the past, "the country really wasn't ready" to walk away from cigarettes," Daynard said. "I think the country's ready now."

If you added your demo to the list above, please add a short abstract to this list so people know what you will be talking about.
- Modeling and Programming going hand in hand with UML Lab - an Eclipse-based Modeling IDE (by Manuel Bork, Yatta Solutions)
- Model-based software development automates boilerplate code writing by code generation, but restricts developers - often severely - when it comes to manual editing and refactoring at code level. Not so with UML Lab. UML Lab is based on Eclipse RCP and is deeply integrated into the Eclipse IDE. It re-uses existing technologies and combines them in a new, productive way. In the demo I'll show how UML Lab seamlessly combines modeling and coding with an intuitive UML diagram editor and next-gen round-trip engineering. I'll start with importing a legacy software project to get a nice UML class diagram and continue editing model and source code - each operation updates the other instantly. I'll show how to gain overview by reverse engineering, boost your productivity by combining modeling with coding and utilize the full potential of model-based software development through truly agile modeling and programming.
- Eclipse 4 Programming Model by Jin Mingjian
- Implementing complex graphical editors with model-driven technologies by Andreas Graf, Itemis.de
- Eclipse is not only used as a platform for software engineering, but also for systems engineering. A number of graphical notations for these disciplines exists, but especially for the newest approaches graphical editors are few (EAST-ADL, AUTOSAR). In this talk we will show how we used model driven technologies (Xtext, Xtend) to efficiently create a number of graphical editors based on Graphiti. The technology implemented in the IMES research project is a good demonstration on how custom DSLs improve your development process. Six different graphical editors are all concisely described with a domain specific language (different from the Spray! project), making refactoring, bug fixing and implementation of new features very efficient.

Last Mother's Day, I unveiled my mamster's pie of choice--chocolate cream. Because she hasn't told me otherwise, I assume it still reigns supreme, much like she does in the Battle of Women Who Gave Birth to Me.
I've tried a few more recipes over the past year, and I think I've found an even more decadent, fool-proof, and delicious version. The differences are minor--this one has cornstarch and uses less sugar and liquids with a lower fat content--but for some reason, it's just more decadent. One drawback--you have to strain the gelatinous goo before filling your pie shell. Meh, it's a small price to pay when you think about the
Happy (Day After) Mother's Day!
Creamy Chocolate Cream Pie with Cream
1 1/3 cups chocolate wafer or cookie crumbs
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1/4 cup granulated sugar
2-1/2 cups milk
1/4 cup heavy cream
2/3 cup granulated sugar, divided use
3 tablespoons cornstarch
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 large egg yolks
3 ounces fine-quality bittersweet chocolate, melted
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, softened
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chilled heavy cream
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350°F.
To make the crust, stir together crumbs, butter, and sugar and press on bottom and up side of a 9-inch pie plate. Bake until crisp, about 15 minutes, and cool on a rack.
To make the filling, heat the milk, cream, and 1/3 cup of sugar until a thin skin forms on top. Meanwhile, viciously whisk together the remaining 1/3 cup sugar and egg yolks. Add in the flour, cornstarch, and salt. Temper in the very hot milk mixture, whisking well. Bring to a boil over moderate heat, whisking, then reduce heat and simmer, stirring constantly with a spatula for 1 minute (filling will be thick). Add the chocolates and let them melt into the mixture for a moment before blending it all together. Force the filling through a strainer into a bowl, then whisk in the butter and vanilla. Pour the filling into crust, cover the surface of the filling with wax paper and cool completely, about 4 hours.
To make the topping, beat cream with sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until it just holds stiff peaks, then spoon on top of pie.

Some cars are all over the place. Then there are cars, like the Mitsubishi Diamante, that were supposed to be all over the place but aren't. What's the worst selling volume car ever?
Automakers always have high hopes and forecasts for their bread and butter models, their Camry and Accord competitors. But sometimes they flop and fail. And I mean fail to the point where they sell basically zero.
Now, we aren't looking for some Sultan of Brunei one-off or a limited run supercar. We want cars that sold in big numbers and were huge disappointments. What do you say is the worst selling car of all time?

Jazz great Dave Brubeck dies at 91
(CNN) -- Jazz pianist Dave Brubeck, 91, died Wednesday from heart failure, his manager, Russell Gloyd, told CNN.
Brubeck's heart stopped while he was en route to the hospital with his eldest son for a regular checkup, Gloyd said. His son became alarmed about his father and called 911, Gloyd said.
"(Paramedics) came out and said, 'We just can't keep the heart going,' " Gloyd told CNN.
Gloyd, who also was a producer with Brubeck, said the musician was rushed to Norwalk Hospital in Norwalk, Connecticut, where he was declared dead.
According to his website, Brubeck was born into a musical family in Concord, California, and had two older brothers who were also professional musicians. As a teen, he began playing in local dance bands after his family moved to a cattle ranch in the foothills of the Sierra mountains.
Intent on pursuing a career in veterinary medicine, Brubeck worked his way through college as a pianist in jazz bands. He soon switched his major to music and went on to pursue a career, releasing music as part of the Dave Brubeck Trio in 1949. He formed the Dave Brubeck Quartet in 1951 following a near fatal car crash.
Songs such as "Blue Rondo a la Turk" and "Take Five" helped the jazz artist find crossover success in the pop world.
Designated a "living legend" by the Library of Congress, Brubeck was still actively pursuing his career in music. Gloyd said the pianist continued to practice every day and was contemplating recording a new song.
But his longtime manager/publicist said he and the musician's family hope that Brubeck is also remembered for his political activism.
"I don't think people realize his commitment to civil rights and justice," Gloyd said. "At the height of his stardom, he canceled 23 out of 24 concerts in the South at Southern universities when they would not allow him to bring his black bass player."
In a statement, the president of The Recording Academy, Neil Portnow, called Brubeck an "iconic jazz and classical pianist."
"Throughout his six decade-long career, his unique time signatures and distinct rhythms were highlights of his innovative style," Portnow continued. "As one of the prime architects of the sophisticated West Coast jazz sound, Brubeck showed that jazz could be artistically challenging yet accessible to large audiences. His recordings have received both commercial and critical success, and will be remembered and celebrated for generations to come. We have lost a great legend in our community, and our thoughts and condolences go to his family, friends and all those he inspired."
Brubeck would have celebrated his 92nd birthday on Thursday.

The opposition party Kadima, which has the largest number of Knesset seats of any single Israeli political party, will join in a national unity government with second-seated Likud and its main partner, third-seated Yisrael Beiteinu. This creates a majority since among themselves these 3 main parties will control 70 out of 120 seats in the Knesset, and including smaller Likud coalition partners, this bloc could be up to 94 votes strong — meaning they could easy institute new Basic Laws if they chose to do so.
Earlier Likud-driven plans to move up Israel's 2013 elections to September 4, 2012 that had been opposed by Kadima have now been "frozen," according to Haaretz, which had actually reported yesterday that a parliamentary committee voted 12-1 in favoring of dissolving this Knesset to hold elections in September. The decision to suspend the elections apparently came overnight during inter-party talks between Kadima and Likud after that particular bill was set to go on to a further vote.
It was Likud that called for the elections, and Likud is now apparently taking the initiative to undo them, though some members of Likud deny this and lay the initiative at Mofaz's feet — such members, it seems, hoped to trounce Kadima this fall. Is it simple politicking (the settler parties, religious and non-religious, the latter including Foreign Minister Lieberman's own Yisrael Beiteinu, that find themselves at odds with Bibi are now suddenly less important), a move to revoke special exemptions for Haredim, settlement expansion, insurance against Obama 2012, or a means of putting Israel further on a war footing with Iran?
All of the above all possible — and as such, Bibi wins in 2012.
With Likud, the immediate effort is all about taking advantage of a beaten opposition; now only Labor and the smaller parties — Palestinian citizens of Israel, far-left and ultra-religious — remain, a most fractious and heavily outnumbered coalition. Bibi may just be the most politically insulated Prime Minister in Israeli history at this moment: "king of Israeli politics," Haaretz just called him, grudgingly that he is, after all, "Israel's number one politician, no doubt — by a mile."
And for Kadima, it is about surviving to the next election. The move represents a significant departure in Kadima's rhetoric, to say the least. At the end of March, following Tzipi Livni's loss to Shaul Mofaz, the new head of the party told Haaretz he'd never join a government with Likud (h/t Max Blumenthal):
Yossi Veter: Would you consider joining a government should that situation arise?
Shaul Mofaz: No, Kadima under my leadership will remain in the opposition. The current government represents all that is wrong with Israel, I believe. Why should we join it? We will be a responsible opposition. Anything Netanyahu does for the benefit of Israel's future will find our support. I want to restore an ethic of nonpartisan patriotism to Israel. I want to represent something new, like we had in the past.
But Kadima, born out of a schism within Likud in 2005, has few options otherwise if it wants to hold onto the seats it won in 2009. Elizabeth Tsurkov, from +972, and Barak Ravid of Haaretz:
In any current poll, Kadima's power is projected to diminish by almost 2/3. Kadima wants to keep this unrepresentative Knesset in power.
— Elizabeth Tsurkov (@Elizrael) May 8, 2012
Reason for agreement: Mofaz was panicked by the elections, Ehud Barak also panicked and Bibi wanted to kill Labor and Yair Lapid
— Barak Ravid (@BarakRavid) May 8, 2012
And Gregg Carlstrom at Al Jazeera:
Yet another Israel poll: Likud gets 31 seats in early elex, Labor 17, Yisrael Beiteinu 13, Atid 12, Kadima down to 10. bit.ly/JrS7r2
— Gregg Carlstrom (@glcarlstrom) May 3, 2012
Likud has found a way to have its cake — humbling Kadima — and eat it too with this deal because now, that cake is Kadima. One wonders what resurrected legislation from 2010 and 2011 on loyalty oaths, BDS, administrative detention, NGO funding, settlement subsidies or judicial appointments to the High Court will make a comeback. What foreign observers are most concerned about, of course, is not Kadima's electoral woes, or how this all means the national service exemption "Tal Law" will be amended or annulled (a measure both Kadima and Yisrael Beiteinu back), but what this unity government portends for a possible conflict with Iran. Barbara Slavin of Al-Monitor asks:
mofaz opposes #israel war on #iran; what did bibi promise him?
— Barbara Slavin (@barbaraslavin1) May 8, 2012
At the moment, we know Mofaz has been promised two explicit, and one implicit, bargains. Mofaz will become a deputy prime minister in the new government, but will be a "minister without portfolio" "in charge of the process with the Palestinians." These offices are his explicit rewards. His implicit reward, as noted above, is getting to avoid a general election for at least one more year that his party was likely to suffer in.
Finally, for Likud there is a big immediate benefit regarding the settlements, suggests Noam Shezaif (though he notes this might only be a temporary victory for Bibi):
The final push for the new agreement was probably yesterday's High Court ruling on the evacuation of the Ulpana neighborhood in the settlement of Beit El, built on private Palestinian land. With elections around the corner, this would have become for Netanyahu a public showdown with either the settlers or with the court – and possibly both. By postponing the elections, the prime minister has bought himself some time to deal with the crisis.
As for the foreign front, I think that Bibi has decided to hedge his bets for now on Iran by offering the bruised Kadima a way forward to survive another year in a way that insulates him from American pressure and possible domestic confrontations over his focus on Iran. Yousef Munayyer put it succinctly:
@blakehounshell its more about obama than Iran, even when its about Iran, its about Obama
— Yousef Munayyer (@YousefMunayyer) May 8, 2012
Now Netanyahu won't have to tone down his rhetoric on Iran, which he has used to successfully dodge the question on settlements as well as (reducing) sanctions and criticizing P5+1 diplomacy. Or, perhaps far, far more importantly for his fellow Likudniks' purposes, concern himself with any further weak Western protests over West Bank settlement expansion. At the risk of beating a dead horse — this coalition formation shows we can also say goodbye to any foreseeable future negotiations with Ramallah.
On the Obama angle, Maariv's Ben Caspit reported earlier this week, when elections were still on, that Netanyahu had based his call for early election off of an AIPAC consensus that Obama would win reelection in 2012 (and thus, feel capable of standing up to the Prime Minister). He hardly needed AIPAC to tell him the President's ahead in the polls, but Caspit's effort to portrait Bibi's mindset is illuminating:
The surprising announcement of early primaries in Likud by the party leadership fell out of the blue, [and] came three days after a quiet meeting held with AIPAC officials, who after conducting a review of U.S. polling data, advised Netanyahu that Obama would be the next president. Bibi knows he cannot campaign for reelection himself with Obama in office for a second term. This is a dangerous gamble. [But] there is great mistrust between the American President and the Israeli Prime Minister, and Netanyahu may try to do to Obama what he did during Clinton's first term, and Obama [may try to do] to Yitzhak Shamir what George H. W. Bush did in 1992.
When referring to Clinton, the author means Netanyahu's efforts to handicap the Oslo Accords. With Shamir, he means to say that Bibi seeks to avoid any chance of there being repeat of the "one lonely little guy" speech Bush gave when he refused to cave in to Shamir on delinking loan guarantees from a halt to settlement expansion. Netanyahu would rather not fight that fight and give his opponents at home openings against him, even though he's almost certain to win such a fight both at home and abroad. As such, it may be that these comparisons (severely) overestimates Obama's will to criticize the Israeli government and (slightly) overdoes Bibi's sense of insecurity since Congress will simply not allow such scenarios to come into being.
This said, the Prime Minister would rather not have to fight such a fight when the U.S.-Israeli "special relationship" gives him so much room to maneuver in the region, no matter how much he dislikes Obama. So he is playing it safe; no elections to risk losing a seat in the Knesset or having to face an irate White House. If he's concluded Obama will win, he intends to set the tone for the President's final term by building his coalition ahead of the actual Romney-Obama faceoff. He puts himself above the fray, and greater unity at home will translate into greater assertiveness abroad. It keeps the rhetoric red hot.
So, then, here is the $64,000, deal-or-no deal question: where does this leave newcomer Mofaz in Bibi's kitchen cabinet? Are the scales tipped in favor of war with Mofaz's addition to the coalition?
Not for now, at least. Mofaz opposes an attack on Iran as of this writing. And it is not clear what Mofaz's complicity, if it were to come, would achieve for the most gung-ho boosters of an attack. The most outspoken opponents have, in any case, mainly been former national security officials, and in a way, Bibi has even preempted them with this unity government (not that some kind of reaching across the aisle seemed to be in the cards; most who've worn the uniform have kept quiet) — though what this means in practice has yet to be tested with respect to Iran. Again, the kitchen cabinet — this "Octet" — is reportedly still divided over an attack. It's tempting to see a possible reorganization of the "Octet" as a prelude to a 2012 war with Iran because it ensures Barak stays on as Defense Minister and, as Larry Derfner notes, Bibi has "cleared his calendar," and Barak earlier said this month the government had to separate Iran from "the elections" and it has done just that. At the same time, further settlement building, the revival of undemocratic legislation, even Cast Lead II seem just as, if not more, likely worst-case outcomes for 2012-3 (unless, you know, I'm dead wrong, and Mofaz, the man who would beat Bibi and never, ever, ever join a coalition does an about-face on Iran and it's bombs away).
But even if he does not defect over Iran to the hawk, one does wonder what Mofaz is going to look forward in 2013 when elections will take place — although since they're apparently going to get to do some election law rewriting, that question may be answered by Kadima itself! But what was promised, indeed, for the man who swore upon his election this spring that he would "replace" Netanyahu? And was a compromise on Iran policy staked out in these arrangements?
What Bibi intends to do with the time and the Knesset majority he has bought himself through 2013 remains to be seen. West Bank settlement expansion, "court packing," sanctions on the PA, bombing Iran, perhaps even further punitive measures in Gaza? All are on firmer ground as of this week, "the putsch against war" notwithstanding.
Indeed, thanks to Kadima's actions, "the putsch against war" may constitute the only serious challenge to Bibi's politics right now, and that is cause for concern over the Iranian question (hopefully, the generals will not be swayed by Bibi's efforts to influence the services with political appointees). The initiative on Iran, the settlements, the "peace process," the national service debate and even the chance to pass new Basic Laws will stay with him for at least a year.
It's good to be the king.

Our Los Lobos Pellons are extremely rare "practice pieces" for the early rock, jazz and blues t-shirt designs. Before production was initiated, the image or design was tested on cotton cloth or burlap to determine the color and line accuracy of the piece. Only a few of the tests were preserved once the design was deemed acceptable and the t-shirt went into production.

House Republicans have shelved a vote on legislation to reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.
Rep. Pete Sessions (R-Texas), the chair of the House Rules Committee, told reporters Tuesday night that there would be "no action" on the legislation Tuesday night.
"We are going to be prepared tomorrow to make some decisions," Sessions said.
The Rules Committee abruptly postponed a hearing on the legislation earlier Tuesday, because Republican leadership didn't have the votes to pass its own plan.
The House of Representatives had planned earlier Tuesday afternoon to go ahead the vote, which featured an Obamacare-related provision. With the failure in the House, the action now shifts back to the Senate. Majority Leader Harry Reid and Minority Leader Mitch McConnell are already talking, and aides close to both are "optimistic" a deal will be reached.
House conservatives signaled early Tuesday morning their disapproval of a possible Senate deal that would reopen the government and raise the debt ceiling.
House Leadership went ahead with plans to move its own legislation, despite no support from Democrats and conservative opposition. Heritage Action, a conservative group that has pushed the "defund Obamacare" movement over the past few months, announced Tuesday evening that it is advising House Republicans to vote "no" on the measure.
The details of the House plan changed significantly since the morning. Originally, the plan was to fund the government through Jan. 15 and raise the debt ceiling through Feb. 7. The GOP's final legislation keeps the government funded only through Dec. 15.
It also originally included three Affordable Care Act-related provisions — a two-year delay of the tax on medical devices, an income-verification process for people applying for subsidies, and a version of the "Vitter amendment" that would bar just lawmakers (not congressional and White House staff) from receiving subsidies for federal health insurance under Obamacare.
Two of those — the medical-device tax and income verification — have been stripped from the legislation. Another — the Vitter amendment — has been altered back to its original version, which bars staffers from receiving subsidies.
House Speaker John Boehner said at a press conference Tuesday morning that "there have been no decisions about what exactly we will do."
"We are talking with our members on both sides of the aisle to try to find a way to move forward today," Boehner said. Later, House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi told reporters in a press conference that Boehner didn't have the votes for the plan.
The White House blasted the reported original plan in a statement late Tuesday morning, saying it was a "ransom" designed to "appease a small group of Tea Party Republicans who forced the government shutdown in the first place."
"The president has said repeatedly that members of Congress don't get to demand ransom for fulfilling their basic responsibilities to pass a budget and pay the nation's bills," White House spokeswoman Amy Brundage said in the statement.
On the Senate floor Thursday morning, Majority Leader Harry Reid said that the new House proposal "blindsided" him and others in the Senate negotiations.
"I'm very disappointed with John Boehner, who would once again try to preserve his role at the expense of this country," Reid said.
Boehner spokesman Michael Steel, responded to Reid's comments minutes later, saying that he is "so blinded by partisanship that he is willing to risk default on our debt to protect a 'pacemaker tax.'"
President Obama is meeting with House Democratic leaders on Tuesday afternoon, the White House said.
Before they walked into the 9 a.m. House Republican conference meeting Tuesday morning, House conservatives complained to Costa. One Tea Party congressman called the Senate plan a "mushy piece of s—." Another said that if House Speaker John Boehner backs the deal, "he's in trouble."
"That seems to be an oxymoron. 'Senate,' then 'plan,'" said Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-Texas).
The opposition to the Senate plan is not really a surprise. House Republicans en masse won't be thrilled that the only thing they're "getting" out of this is an income-verification measure for people obtaining subsidies through the Affordable Care Act. It's not a policy victory with which they can go home to their constituents after a more than two-week shutdown.
According to Roll Call, about 15-20 House conservatives met in secret with Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) Monday night at the Capitol Hill watering hole Tortilla Coast, where they plotted how to respond to the Senate deal. Given the reactions from House conservatives Tuesday, it's likely that they discussed how to hold firm on their opposition to any deal that does not fundamentally alter Obamacare.
And it appears that House leadership is not yet ready to give in to the Senate plan.

Amtrak Niantic River Bridge replacement completedWritten by William C. Vantuono, Editor-in-Chief
The work involved construction of a new two-track electrified movable bascule bridge across the Niantic River, 58 feet south of its previous location between East Lyme and Waterford, Conn., realignment of the track along the west and east approaches to the bridge, track embankment construction, scour protection, new retaining walls, and the creation of new electrification and signaling systems. The original span was built in 1907.
The boating community is also benefiting from the project. The new bridge is constructed with broader channel access for maritime traffic from 45 feet to 100 feet and raises the vertical under clearance above the water from 11.5 feet to 16 feet. Also, Amtrak rebuilt the Niantic Bay Boardwalk, replenished the beach with 76,000 cubic yards of sand, and nearly doubled the number of parking spaces at Cini Park in East Lyme, Conn., to 127 spaces, increasing public beach access. The refurbished beach and boardwalk reopened to the public in early June in time for the summer season.
The new bridge continues to serve as a key link for passenger and freight rail traffic between New York and Boston, carrying 54 trains daily (38 Amtrak intercity trains, 2 Providence & Worcester freight trains, and 14 Shore Line East trains). "The replacement of the Niantic Bridge is a positive step in modernizing and enhancing critical rail infrastructure along the Northeast Corridor that supports the regional economy," said Amtrak President and CEO Joe Boardman.
"The replacement of the Niantic River Bridge was one of the most visible and complex projects supported by the 2009 American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, and its completion is an important milestone for our region and our country," Congressman Joe Courtney said. "This new bridge is a key link for passenger and freight rail traffic between New York and Boston, and will support efficient rail service for many years to come. Completion of this bridge will leave a lasting legacy for rail service in our area, and I applaud Amtrak, state and local officials, and other stakeholders for their close teamwork in making this project a reality."
"The Town of East Lyme is proud to have been a partner with Amtrak during the past three years and is thrilled with the replacement of the old bridge," said East Lyme First Selectman Paul Formica. "The new railroad bridge along with the renovation of the Niantic Bay Boardwalk and Cini Park are world class and will significantly improve and enhance regional travel by both rail and water. This area will be enjoyed by the region for generations to come. Great job Amtrak!"
"It is with great excitement that I look at our new railroad bridge over the Niantic River," said Waterford First Selectman Dan Steward. "The results are wonderful and the contractors have done a great job of keeping us informed and answering our requests. Hopefully, the new larger opening will help with water traffic and the ability to help water flow in and out of the river. We are proud to have this new bridge and pleased that it is completed. Thanks again to Amtrak for all of their efforts in this regard."
After the original bridge was demolished this spring, a portion of its remnants were donated by Amtrak to the Connecticut Eastern Railroad Museum for preservation and to the towns of East Lyme and Waterford for future use and display to the general public.
The project was funded, in part, by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act and was constructed by Cianbro/Middlesex Joint Venture VII Group from Littleton, Mass. Partners in the project included the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, Town of East Lyme, Town of Waterford, U.S. Coast Guard, and the East Lyme Public Trust Foundation.
