For scientists building devices that would allow the paralyzed to interact with their environment (as well as those wishing to understand the workings of the brain), it's important to understand that using two virtual arms is a more complex proposition than using each arm separately and multiplying by two. But with a little help and a lot of technology, a new study shows, even a monkey can be taught to do it.
The latest account of a brain-machine interface that could give a quadriplegic two good hands was published Wednesday in the journal Science Translational Medicine. The article describes a process by which two monkeys were taught to move two arms on a computer terminal in front of them, using only their thoughts.
One of the monkeys achieved that feat by first manipulating two virtual arms, projected on a screen in front of him--with his own hands on a pair of joysticks. But the other did so without ever actually using his hands. Instead, the second monkey watched a projected image in which two arms move around a field and manipulate virtual "buttons." That vicarious experience alone produced a complex pattern of neuronal firing in the monkey's brain. Later, when the monkey reenacted that distinctive firing pattern by thinking about how he would move his arms, the two virtual arms carried out the command.
That accomplishment holds out the prospect that even patients with no control over their limbs might one day be able to choose a virtual arm--or two--and send them forth to turn on lights, punch in a phone number or type a letter.
In the latest study, researchers found that it would take neural "recordings" from many different clusters of neurons across the brain to replicate the act of moving both arms. In all, researchers listened in on and recorded the activity of about 500 neurons distributed across the frontal-parietal lobes of each animal to create the neural signature of each distinct movement of the arms.
That reproducing the movement of both arms would involve such a widely distributed ensemble of neurons was a surprise even to the researchers involved, said lead author Dr. Miguel Nicolelis of Duke University.
Those neural signatures became the "commands" that directed the virtual arms to move, even when the monkeys' arms were gently immobilized at their sides. When a computer program detected the telltale signature of a monkey wishing to use his left arm to reach out and press on a red square on the screen, it executed that movement virtually.
The research, carried out largely at Duke University's Center for Neuroengineering, is part of a broad field of research into "neural prosthetics" and "brain-machine interfaces" that could restore function lost to illness or injury. Some hope that the same technologies could someday extend normal human capabilities as well.
The work is led by Nicolelis, a Brazilian-born physician who heads an international consortium of brain and computer scientists, engineers and prosthetics experts intent on building a full-body prosthesis for the paralyzed. The "Walk Again Project" aims to allow a person with paralysis to use technology and his or her thought patterns to bypass a severed spinal cord. To that end, Nicolelis and his team have pioneered a wide range of brain-machine interfaces, tested first on nonhuman primates, that could restore movement, control and touch to those paralyzed below the neck.
The consortium is on course to unveil its exoskeleton in June in Brazil, at the opening of the Soccer World Cup, and is currently training a pool of patients in Brazil in the brain-machine interfaces that are at the heart of the project. The culmination of a project Nicolelis calls "the Brazilian moonshot," one of those paralyzed patients will be chosen to walk onto the field and open the Games with a decisive kick of a ball.
The two-armed monkey study is "one more step" toward achieving that goal, Nicolelis said in an interview Wednesday.

|Dillimore, Red County, San Andreas
Tanker Commander
Against All Odds
Local Liquor Store
Small Town Bank
First Date is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by Catalina from The Welcome Pump bar in the town of Dillimore in Red County, San Andreas.
Catalina is inside The Welcome Pump in Dillimore and is threatening two men with a knife. Carl Johnson enters the room and explains to her that he is looking for a friend's cousin, whom he discovers is Catalina. The two leave The Welcome Pump and Catalina explains to Carl that they are going to rob four locations across the county: a Gasso petrol station, an Inside Track betting shop, a liquor store and a bank.
(Catalina is in a bar threatening two men with a knife. CJ enters.)
Catalina: (to man 1) You want some, fatso? (to man 2) You big streak of Yankee piss. (to man 1) I seen fucking eunuchs with more balls than you.
(Catalina slashes man 2 with the knife and then holds it to man 1's neck.)
Catalina: (to CJ) What the fuck did you want?
CJ: Nothing, I'm looking for a friend of mine's cousin. Mexican guy. He ain't here...
Catalina: You? But Cesar said you was a real man.
CJ: Lady, I'm a God fearing, peace loving, man of the people.
Catalina: Whatever, asshole, let's go.
CJ: Damn, relax, baby.
(Catalina and Carl Johnson leave The Welcome Pump)
Catalina: Where's your car?
Carl Johnson: Where's yours?
Catalina: Ladies don't drive themselves, that's what men are for!
Carl Johnson: Oh my goodness! Thanks Cesar. Appreciate this, homie!
(Carl and Catalina enter a vehicle.)
Carl Johnson: So, what's your name? Where we going?
Catalina: My name is Catalina and we gonna take this county for every stinking cent!
Carl Johnson: OK, good plan... I guess.
Catalina: You're damn straight it's a good plan! I've cased four soft targets; a liquor store in Blueberry, a bank in Palomino Creek, a gas station in Dillimore, and a betting shop in Montgomery.
Carl Johnson: Hold up. Which one first?
Catalina: You're the driver, you dumb pig, you choose!
There is no monetary reward for completing the mission. The missions Tanker Commander, Against All Odds, Local Liquor Store and Small Town Bank are unlocked. However, after completing the chosen mission, the other three missions need unlocking once again.

How to Use the Images Drawing 2
Drawing 2
(David Demero, C & O National Historical Park official handbook, 1991)
The canal was built mainly with hand tools and horse power. Construction did not simply begin at one end and progress steadily to the other end, leaving a finished canal in its wake. Instead, the job was let to dozens of contractors in 1/2 mile sections, and, for the most part, they worked simultaneously. Their activities would not have been performed concurrently or so close together, but they are shown together here to make portraying this work easier.
In the distance the tunnel is being dug (1). Blasting was often necessary to clear a path for the canal. After trees were cut or broken (2), stumps were pulled out with huge, horse-powered winches (3). Root-cutting plows (4) scraped the surface in preparation for digging (5), berm-building (6), and puddling with waterproof clay (7). Cut stone (8), pre-built lock gates (9), and iron hardware were shipped to the site, where workers constructed aqueducts (10), feeder dams (11), guard locks (12), culverts (13), retaining walls (14), lift locks (15), waste weirs (16), and stop locks (17).
Questions for Drawing 1
1. If the canal were being constructed today, what machines would have been helpful? On which jobs would they have been used?
2. Engineers designed the canal to give lockkeepers as much control over the river as they could. What do you think each of the following elements did, given their names and locations?
* The image on the screen has a resolution of 72 dots per inch (dpi), and therefore will print poorly. You can obtain a high resolution version of Drawing 1 but be aware that it will take about 30 seconds to load with a 28.8K modem.

[Illinois] CNST 2012: Welcome Remarks
Published on
CNST Workshop 2012
Showcasing University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, and nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, leading to cross-campus and industry collaborations.
Workshop Premise
The broad objective of the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) workshop is to showcase University of Illinois research in bionanotechnology/ nanomedicine, nanoelectronics/nanophotonics, nanomaterials/nanomanufacturing, and computational nanotechnology/nanomechanics.
The general framework of the nanotechnology workshop is similar to those held on campus since 2003; which were all well attended by industry and academia. Some of those interactions have since then led to industry and cross-campus collaborations. The CNST-led forums and workshops have contributed tremendously toward the formation of multidisciplinary teams leading to the establishment of multimillion dollar new nanotechnology centers on-campus. The workshop will provide a forum for industry interactions and collaborations. The workshop brings together campus community (faculty, graduate and undergraduates, administration) from UIUC and other academic institutions, and industry engaged in cutting-edge research. A workshop panel will discuss the roadmap to future direction of research and development in nanotechnology and regional partnerships.
Established in 2001–02, the University of Illinois Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) is the premier center for nanotechnology research, education and training, and entrepreneurial and outreach activities.
CNST draws its strength from working as a collaboratory involving the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology, Roy J. Carver Biotechnology Center, Coordinated Science Laboratory,Frederick Seitz Materials Research Laboratory, Institute for Genomic Biology, Micro and Nanotechnology Laboratory, Center for Nanoscale Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Manufacturing Systems, National Center for Supercomputing Applications, the Schools of Chemical Sciences and of Molecular and Cellular Biology, and other multidisciplinary centers.
It brings together nanoscale research from across the campus, drawing faculty from engineering, chemistry, physics, biology, neuroscience, agriculture, medicine, and other areas. The center envisions seamless integration of research from materials to devices to systems and applications. CNST is uniquely located to harness the entrepreneurial and technical spirit in downstate Illinois, with ongoing linkages with the University Research Park, the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity, and the State legislature. Industrial and international linkages have also been initiated through multidisciplinary centers. In addition, CNST has embarked on developing a curriculum for nanotechnology education, which will transcend a number of campus departments and units. Exceptional students with interest in nanotechnology projects have been awarded fellowships, as the center prepares the next generation workforce. CNST-led efforts have led to leveraging of existing nanotechnology research labs into also hands-on training sites for molecular and cellular biology, mechanobiology, micro and nanofabrication, and enabling technologies, and tissue engineering.

Hitachi Data Systems SSD flashes into view
Will support HGST/Intel flash later
Hitachi Data Systems' customers can now buy flash-based solid state drives (SSDs) for the high-end USP V and VM storage arrays. HDS will also support the coming Hitachi GST SSDs, built by Hitachi GST and Intel.
This leaves IBM's DS8000 as the last enterprise drive array with no flash drive option, as both HP and Sun resell the Hitachi USP product as their high-end drive array. An IBM source hinted that Big Blue could do this earlier in the year. Neither HP not Sun has actually said that they will take USP arrays with the flash option.
HDS is following in the footsteps of EMC which made Enterprise Flash Drives (EFD) available for Symmetrix many months ago. Clariion support was added fairly recently. However, HDS is not adding flash SSD support to its mid-range modular AMS arrays.
The flash drives will be used to satisfy I/O requests from I/O-intensive applications which need low-latency responses from the storage array, responses far faster than 15K rpm Fibre Channel drives can satisfy.
HDS' Storage Command management SW supports flash in this "tier zero" role and HDS says storage administrators can work with a flash-enabled USP as per normal, but with this extra very fast tier of storage to play with.
It is thought that HDS is using STEC's SSD product, STEC being EMC's supplier, although HDS has not confirmed this. The HGST/Intel drives could replace the STEC products when they become available. No prices were revealed. ®

Inventory Lot Traceability Now Available for EAM Application
The addition of inventory lot traceability can help companies maintain compliance with government and industry regulations, such as the U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Current Good Manufacturing Practice (CGMP) regulations. In addition to helping them meet regulatory requirements, inventory lot traceability can provide financial benefits to companies. For example, one company reports that implementing a computerized system for inventory lot traceability allows the company to trace product throughout its supply chain in 20 minutes. Previously, this process could take up to three days, a costly delay in the event of a product recall. In addition, the company has decreased its expired stock by 80 percent, saving the company approximately $175,000 annually. Inventory lot traceability capabilities available in Immpower R6 include the following:
- Receive materials by lot and expiration date for first in first out (FIFO) inventory management
- Select materials for use based on lot and expiration date
- Control use of inventory lots by approving them for use in production, rejecting them for any business purpose, or placing them on hold
- Trace materials from receipt to production

Glenfiddich Distillery Edition
Single Speyside malt Scotch whisky
51% alc/vol
Picked this one up a while back because I love Glenfiddich, I'd never seen it before, and the price was right. Apparently, it's a re-branding of the Glenfiddich 15yo Cask Strength, which I never had.
Heavy on the sherry; vanilla and brown sugar abound. But dilute it with water (generally a good idea; it's cask strength, you realize) there's some trademark Glenfiddich pear lurking underneath. Fruity and warm. A little peppery? Yes. Opens up after a little time in the glass with some spice. A very pleasant drink, and not at all expensive for what it is. I'd put it right up there with the Macallan Cask Strength and the Aberlour a'bunadh.
And with that, I realize I'm about done with heavily-sherried Scotches for a while. I love how they taste, but it can be so hard to get past the sweet syrupiness to get to the unique, interesting bits. And that's the part of tasting that I love the most. I think I'd rather have an interesting Scotch that doesn't particularly appeal to me than a delicious one that's just more sherry sherry sherry.
Who knows...maybe I'm just burned out. I'll probably come around this autumn. Colder months just call for the warming quality sherried whiskey exhibits.

Screen prep is often a thankless job. This month, Roberts addresses the importance of the screenmaking department and sets the stage for a series of columns in which he'll discuss ways to improve quality and efficiency in this critical area.
OK, let's have a few minutes of respectful reflection for our comrades who have gone before us—the brave souls we have buried in the dark, dank, and yellow-lit bone yard in the back of our shops—the area we often refer to as the screen-prep area. You know who I'm talking about. They are the people who you summon to the press to yell at when the emulsion breaks down. You curse them as you climb up under the screen to fix some missed touchup, and you want to strangle them when they expose your last screen of the day backwards.
You don't like the way they tape your screens, and they never seem to get all the ink off the frame when they reclaim. You swear that the mesh counts they are giving you are wrong. Every once in a while you borrow a tension meter, put it on a screen, and let out a triumphant "Aha!" to prove to your boss that it's not your fault that the job won't print. "The screen isn't tensioned correctly. The film is not placed correctly. The screen ripped because it's not blocked out correctly. It had better be fixed by the time I get back from break.... What's that? You can't quit now! Who's going to expose screens!?" Sounds familiar, doesn't it?
I would like to state something for the record, and I'm willing to pound my fist onto the desk of anyone in this business who dares to disagree with me. I believe that there is no more skilled and difficult job in the print shop than screen preparation, and the people that do it deserve a lot more respect than I ever see them getting. I would hope that at least a few of them might see this article and gain some spiritual sustenance from it, but I doubt it. They don't have time to spend relaxing between the pages of this learned magazine while they sip coffee in the break room. Most likely, they are outside grabbing a cigarette to calm their nerves and trying to figure out how they will solve the logistical problems that they consistently deal with every day.

This Positive Life: An Interview With Esmeralda, Part Two
May 19, 2010
Table of Contents
This article is part two of a two-part interview with Esmeralda (not her real name). The first part of the interview took place in November 2007. Esmeralda spoke with TheBody.com again in April 2010, shared new perspectives on living with HIV/AIDS and gave us an update on some exciting new developments in her life since her first interview.
Sick With Stress, Finding Support: Remembering the Aftermath of an HIV Diagnosis
Welcome back, Esmeralda, to TheBody.com. Thank you so much for talking with me.
It's great to be back again.
You were diagnosed with HIV in 1998. Is that right?
Yes, correct.
How old were you then?
I was 25.
How old are you now?
I'm 37.
How has your health been since back in 1998?
It's really great. It's perfect. I don't have any complaints at all.
Around the time I was diagnosed, I was not sick with HIV or anything like that, but I was sick and scared by the diagnosis itself. It's terrible. You feel sick. You're like, "I'll get sick from anything." I was thinking it was because of HIV. I was depressed.
Your body was feeling the emotional stress of having just been diagnosed?
Exactly. And wanting to know what exactly this was. At the time, we always thought HIV was a death sentence. Like, "I have a few months, a few days, I don't know how long." It was, more than anything, the stress of that.
Now it's been quite a while and I've learned how to live with HIV and how to deal with all this. So I try to live, and live good -- live normal, more than anything. This isn't going to stop me, you know?
For how long after you were diagnosed did you feel sick with the stress of being diagnosed?
It took me a while, because I wasn't coming out at all. I didn't talk to anybody. I felt like everybody just looked at me and knew what I have. It took me a couple more years to become more normal, in a sense -- to start to live like, "OK, this person knows, this person didn't know" and be OK with that.
Then I started going to support groups and meeting other people with the same problem. I saw people who have had HIV since before there was medicine, and they were alive. Now we have a few more choices, so we can try to live.
Also, I have my children. There was nobody around them, nobody to look after them, so I decided, no matter what, that I have to live a normal life for my children. There's no other way.
It took me a couple of years or more. It's been a while.
How did you find the first support group that you went to?
The social worker at my clinic told me, "We have meetings -- meetings with other people over here." At the beginning, I didn't want to see anybody. But then one day, I decided to go to see what it was. And I just met great people who supported me and my children and hugged me, telling me, "You're not alone." They made me feel great, you know? They made me feel great.
"When I started talking to the women at the support group, they treated me like family and supported me, and they had the same problem. It was incredible."I had been living with some relatives and they had their issues around what I ate, and the dishes I ate off of. It was a little hard to go through that. When I started talking to the women at the support group, they treated me like family and supported me, and they had the same problem. It was incredible.
Citizenship, Travel and Career Changes
When you were first interviewed, your job was cleaning houses full time, you were going to school, and you had also started volunteering with WORLD [Women Organized to Respond to Life-Threatening Diseases] in Oakland.
Yes, I was cleaning houses by myself and I was volunteering here at WORLD and at La Clínica de La Raza. Aside from that, I learned a lot going to school. Then I was working on my legal papers over here in the United States and getting my green card, because I'm from Mexico. It took me a while to finish that. That happened in 2008. I got my residency here, so my kids and I were able to spend some time in Mexico. We went over there for about four months. It was great going back to Mexico, and taking my kids over there.
Where did you stay when you went to Mexico?
My parents are in Mexico, so we stayed with them for some time, with a sister, with another sister -- I have two sisters there too. It was a really great experience for my children to go visit their grandparents and their cousins and aunties. They love it. They said, "We want to stay here!"
"I got a job at the end of 2008, as a peer advocate. ... I really love it, because it gives me the opportunity to help other women who've just been diagnosed."That was in 2008. Then when I came back, there was an open job at WORLD, one of the agencies that first helped me meet more women with HIV. I'd had a peer advocate over here at WORLD who helped me out with school and finding volunteer jobs, and learning to speak with agencies and providers. Then I got a job at the end of 2008, as a peer advocate over here at WORLD.
I really love it, because it gives me the opportunity to help other women who've just been diagnosed, to tell them I've been there and I passed it, and now I'm here. I love my job. I keep having new clients who just found out they're HIV positive. It's not like, "OK, great," because people keep getting infected, and that's not good. But I'm here to help them, and that makes me feel great.
Can you describe some of the work that WORLD does? Is it common that people start out volunteering there and end up working there as peer advocates?
We have The Lotus Project, which is a project that trains HIV-positive women to become peer advocates, to advocate for themselves and help other women. The way we do it over here, peer advocates work together with the hospitals or with the clinics and with social workers, and we meet the women and make them feel comfortable.
"Sometimes they tell us [peer advocates] more than they'd tell a social worker or a doctor. They get comfortable with us, because we disclose to them. They say, 'You're one of us. You feel what I feel.' They open up to you. It's great to help a person to come out."Sometimes they tell us more than they'd tell a social worker or a doctor. They get comfortable with us, because we disclose to them. They say, "You're one of us. You feel what I feel." They open up to you. It's great to help a person to come out, and to tell them, "I've been there and this happened and this happened. You can be just fine." They get to where they say, "OK, if you can do it, I can do it." It's one of the things we do over here at WORLD.
Has working with WORLD helped you to be more open about your HIV status?
Yes, it has. I can tell most people. I don't really go openly in public and go on television with my name and my face. I don't do it, because there's still a lot of stigma around. I do that for my kids, because of the stigma in school, and other kids finding out and saying, "Oh, you're this."
My kids know I'm HIV positive, and sometimes they hear comments about people with HIV. My daughter fights it. She says she comes out to fight it: "If you don't know what you're talking about, just don't talk!" She talks about it, because she knows. My kids will come to groups with me, and they learn about it. But I don't come out really openly to the public, because I don't want my kids to have a hard time at school.

John Donne was born in 1572 in London, England. He is known as the founder of the Metaphysical Poets, a term created by Samuel Johnson, an eighteenth-century English essayist, poet, and philosopher. The loosely associated group also includes George Herbert, Richard Crashaw, Andrew Marvell, and John Cleveland. The Metaphysical Poets are known for their ability to startle the reader and coax new perspective through paradoxical images, subtle argument, inventive syntax, and imagery from art, philosophy, and religion using an extended metaphor known as a conceit. Donne reached beyond the rational and hierarchical structures of the seventeenth century with his exacting and ingenious conceits, advancing the exploratory spirit of his time.
Donne entered the world during a period of theological and political unrest for both England and France; a Protestant massacre occurred on Saint Bartholomew's day in France; while in England, the Catholics were the persecuted minority. Born into a Roman Catholic family, Donne's personal relationship with religion was tumultuous and passionate, and at the center of much of his poetry. He studied at both Oxford and Cambridge Universities in his early teen years. He did not take a degree at either school, because to do so would have meant subscribing to the Thirty-nine Articles, the doctrine that defined Anglicanism. At age twenty he studied law at Lincoln's Inn. Two years later he succumbed to religious pressure and joined the Anglican Church after his younger brother, convicted for his Catholic loyalties, died in prison. Donne wrote most of his love lyrics, erotic verse, and some sacred poems in the 1590s, creating two major volumes of work: Satires and Songs and Sonnets.
In 1598, after returning from a two-year naval expedition against Spain, Donne was appointed private secretary to Sir Thomas Egerton. While sitting in Queen Elizabeth's last Parliament in 1601, Donne secretly married Anne More, the sixteen-year-old niece of Lady Egerton. Donne's father-in-law disapproved of the marriage. As punishment, he did not provide a dowry for the couple and had Donne briefly imprisoned.
This left the couple isolated and dependent on friends, relatives, and patrons. Donne suffered social and financial instability in the years following his marriage, exacerbated by the birth of many children. He continued to write and published the Divine Poems in 1607. In Pseudo-Martyr, published in 1610, Donne displayed his extensive knowledge of the laws of the Church and state, arguing that Roman Catholics could support James I without compromising their faith. In 1615, James I pressured him to enter the Anglican Ministry by declaring that Donne could not be employed outside of the Church. He was appointed Royal Chaplain later that year. His wife died in 1617 at thirty-three years old shortly after giving birth to their twelfth child, who was stillborn. The Holy Sonnets are also attributed to this phase of his life.
In 1621, he became dean of Saint Paul's Cathedral. In his later years, Donne's writing reflected his fear of his inevitable death. He wrote his private prayers, Devotions upon Emergent Occasions, during a period of severe illness and published them in 1624. His learned, charismatic, and inventive preaching made him a highly influential presence in London. Best known for his vivacious, compelling style and thorough examination of mortal paradox, John Donne died in London on March 31, 1631.

Random and Binary IO with IterateeM
Random and binary IO: Reading TIFF
Iteratees presuppose sequential processing. A general-purpose input method must also support random IO: processing a seek-able input stream from an arbitrary position, jumping back and forth through the stream. We demonstrate random IO with iteratees, as well as reading non-textual files and converting raw bytes into multi-byte quantities such as integers, rationals, and TIFF dictionaries. Positioning of the input stream is evocative of delimited continuations.
We use random and binary IO to write a general-purpose TIFF library. The library emphasizes incremental processing, relying on iteratees and enumerators for on-demand reading of tag values. The library extensively uses nested streams, tacitly converting the stream of raw bytes from the file into streams of integers, rationals and other user-friendly items. The pixel matrix is presented as a contiguous stream, regardless of its segmentation into strips and physical arrangement.
We show a representative application of the library: reading a sample TIFF file, printing selected values from the TIFF dictionary, verifying the values of selected pixels and computing the histogram of pixel values. The pixel verification procedure stops reading the pixel matrix as soon as all specified pixel values are verified. The histogram accumulation does read the entire matrix, but incrementally. Neither pixel matrix processing procedure loads the whole matrix in memory. In fact, we never read and retain more than the IO-buffer-full of raw data.
Version: The current version is 1.1, December 2008.
- newtype RBIO a = RBIO {
- data RBState = RBState {
- rb_seek_set :: FileOffset -> RBIO ()
- rb_seek_answered :: RBIO Bool
- rb_msb_first :: RBIO Bool
- rb_msb_first_set :: Bool -> RBIO ()
- runRB :: RBState -> IterateeGM el RBIO a -> IO (IterateeG el RBIO a)
- bindm :: Monad m => m (Maybe a) -> (a -> m (Maybe b)) -> m (Maybe b)
- sseek :: FileOffset -> IterateeGM el RBIO ()
- iter_err :: Monad m => String -> IterateeGM el m ()
- stakeR :: Monad m => Int -> EnumeratorN el el m a
- endian_read2 :: IterateeGM Word8 RBIO (Maybe Word16)
- endian_read4 :: IterateeGM Word8 RBIO (Maybe Word32)
- enum_fd_random :: Fd -> EnumeratorGM Word8 RBIO a
The type of the IO monad supporting seek requests and endianness The seek_request is not-quite a state, more like a `communication channel' set by the iteratee and answered by the enumerator. Since the base monad is IO, it seems simpler to implement both endianness and seek requests as IORef cells. Their names are grouped in a structure RBState, which is propagated as the `environment.'
Generally, RBState is opaque and should not be exported.
rb_seek_set :: FileOffset -> RBIO ()Source
The programmer should use the following functions instead
To request seeking, the iteratee sets seek_req to (Just desired_offset) When the enumerator answers the request, it sets seek_req back to Nothing
rb_msb_first_set :: Bool -> RBIO ()Source
bindm :: Monad m => m (Maybe a) -> (a -> m (Maybe b)) -> m (Maybe b)Source
A useful combinator. Perhaps a better idea would have been to define Iteratee to have (Maybe a) in IE_done? In that case, we could make IterateeGM to be the instance of MonadPlus
sseek :: FileOffset -> IterateeGM el RBIO ()Source
We discard all available input first. We keep discarding the stream s until we determine that our request has been answered: rb_seek_set sets the state seek_req to (Just off). When the request is answered, the state goes back to Nothing. The above features remind one of delimited continuations.
iter_err :: Monad m => String -> IterateeGM el m ()Source
An iteratee that reports and propagates an error
We disregard the input first and then propagate error.
It is reminiscent of
stakeR :: Monad m => Int -> EnumeratorN el el m aSource
Read n elements from a stream and apply the given iteratee to the
stream of the read elements. If the given iteratee accepted fewer
elements, we stop.
This is the variation of
stake with the early termination
of processing of the outer stream once the processing of the inner stream
finished early. This variation is particularly useful for randomIO,
where we do not have to care to `drain the input stream'.
endian_read2 :: IterateeGM Word8 RBIO (Maybe Word16)Source
Iteratees to read unsigned integers written in Big- or Little-endian ways
enum_fd_random :: Fd -> EnumeratorGM Word8 RBIO aSource
The enumerator of a POSIX Fd: a variation of enum_fd that supports RandomIO (seek requests)

For men, next spring's wardrobe choices will look a lot like the current ones — a sea of khaki, more camouflage accents (camo print flip-flops and neckties, anyone?) and the continued presence of work wear. But there were some bright spots — literally and figuratively — in the collections for spring and summer 2011 that designers showed during New York Fashion Week, which wrapped up at the end of last week.
Citrus punch
Bright hues are nothing new to the spring color palette, but the abundance of vibrant yellows and oranges throughout the collections (for men and women) is enough to make one wonder if the entire season had been underwritten by Sunkist.
Standouts included Michael Bastian's Navy-frogmen-inspired collection, which made liberal use of yellow on neoprene scuba tops, striped rugby shirts, sweaters, nylon belts and diver-print flip-flops — the latter part of a new collaboration with Haviana — and bold, color-blocked (and functional) sailing gear at Brooks Brothers.
At Lacoste, Christophe Lemaire's final collection went out in a blaze of head-to-toe "mercury orange," and Timo Weiland turned heads with a striking two-button men's blazer.
Madras men
With the continuing popularity of plaid, it should come as no surprise that madras — its lighter-weight cotton cousin — has found its way into some of next spring's most memorable menswear collections, including those of Tommy Hilfiger, who gave his neo-prep a pair of eye-popping pink madras trousers, and Billy Reid, who used a blue patchwork madras in hand-tailored blazers and high-water beach pants.
Madras ended up as a major element in the sophomore Gant by Michael Bastian collection, where Bastian used it to full nostalgic effect in a collection inspired by Marilyn Monroe's 1953 movie "Niagara" and the assorted men in her life. The same pattern appeared in a range of menswear including button-down shirts, blazers and shorts, as well as in the lining of washed corduroy blazers. This season of the Gant collaboration introduces Bastian's first-ever women's pieces, and there was plenty of madras for the missus too, including head scarves, shirts and bikini tops.
"Madras just feels like this fantastic, all-American fabric," Bastian said. "And the pattern is from this vintage piece I've loved and held onto for years and could never afford to have made to my specifications.
"And that's been the great thing about working with [Gant] — they can just send the piece to India and have it made, just like that."
Soft parade
The sleepwear-as-sportswear aesthetic that climbed out of bed and shuffled onto the men's runways here and in Europe a few years ago thankfully seems to have slunk off somewhere (perhaps for a power nap), but some of the influences have continued. There are softened and unlined jackets. Brooks Brothers is leaning heavily on the soft-shouldered jacket for spring, and Tommy Hilfiger offered up a double-breasted navy peacoat in cotton piqué (think polo shirt material).
Michael Kors' menswear collection was full of loungewear influences from the subtle (slouchy hemp-linen trousers, and linen gauze tank tops and blazers that looked roomy and comfortable enough to sleep in) to the not-so-subtle (blue-striped taffeta blazers and pajama pants).
Presented against a backdrop that looked like a boarding school dormitory room (complete with a stack of vintage Playboy magazines), Band of Outsiders was another label that gave guys the luxury loungewear look, with a range of pajama pieces that included blue-and-white-striped poplin, blue diamond-print cotton and black rip-stop-nylon pajama pants (the latter, presumably for nighttime sorties to the girls' dormitory) and shirts to match, with a punch of contrast piping.
Nostalgic notions
Nostalgia was a common theme throughout the menswear collections this time around. Some lines went deeper into the rich mine of American work wear, most memorably Rag & Bone, which riffed on protective smocks, sending khaki one-piece painters coveralls, hickory-stripe railroad engineer jackets and multi-pocketed utility vests down the runway.
But this season wasn't just about parroting the past. It was clearly about using it as a springboard, which made many collections feel, as Kurt Vonnegut might have put it, "unstuck in time." This could be said of whole collections, such as Tommy Hilfiger's preppy 2.0 collection, and pieces like the homey-looking one-off sweaters and sweater vests that looked as if they could have been lovingly knit by a grandmother — if that grandmother happened to be into diving helmets and navy frogmen (Michael Bastian) or fighter jets (Marlon Gobel).
Gilded Age's collection of rumpled leather jackets, button-front woven shirts and lightweight khaki jackets mined the 1930s and the notion of luxury travel ushered in by the Pan American Airways flying clipper ships. N. Hoolywood, a 10-year-old Japanese line making its New York Fashion Week debut, drew inspiration from mug shots of the 1940s. And the Gant by Michael Bastian collection was a telegram straight from the edge of Niagara Falls in the mid-1950s, complete with vintage postcard T-shirts, retro-flavored bathing trunks, blazers and varsity jackets.
It becomes all the more nostalgic when one realizes that Bastian grew up not far from the famous waterfall. Yes, it'll be back to the future for next spring's most memorable menswear — but it's a future so bright, you're going to definitely need shades.
For men, next spring's wardrobe choices will look a lot like the current ones — a sea of khaki, more camouflage accents (camo print flip-flops and neckties, anyone?) and the continued presence of work wear. But there were some bright spots — literally and figuratively — in the collections for spring and summer 2011 that designers showed during New York Fashion Week, which wrapped up at the end of last week.

Sure, but if you spend just a bit of time refining the kickstart package/group lists, you can can cut this down if you like. However, we tend to be lazy and install relatively fat nodes as well. This is because hard disk is so cheap as to be free, compared to the size of any sane operational image (the 3-4 GB unpacked for even a totally full and fat X workstation image is a small fraction of the smallest hard disks available today). Given "free" disk it seems better (from a CBA point of view) to just go ahead and install anything there is ANY chance of somebody needing rather than having to invest the human time to install it on demand later, unless there is some nonlinear cost associated with the additional delay required for the actual install. Usually this is just unattended waiting time and moderately antibunched, so that the admin can do other useful things while it completes. > My reasoning was to get the node install time as *low* as possible and I > was assuming that kick-start wasted to many cycles/bandwidth on stuff I'm not certain about this. A package is typically compressed (to be network efficient) as the network and disk write rates are likely to be the rate limiting steps, not the decompression. The CPU required for decompression and installation %post configuration is "free" anyway. A tgz image probably requires very similar amounts of network bandwidth and decompression CPU -- at most it saves some of the %post processing. > that would just end up the same anyway. kick-start wouldn't allow you to > customise the image as much either. I'd have to disagree with this and would indeed roll the opposite way. kickstart installs already automagically probe for hardware and manage moderate differences between e.g. sound and video and network and disk configuration. To accomodate these with diskless images, one has to build the diskless image for EACH supported hardware configuration separately. This can be quite time consuming, because one WON'T generally have e.g. kudzu or some other probe/configuration tool to do most of the work for you, one has to do it by hand or by somehow running an "install" on a mounted template on an architypical node. One is always free to build as many kickstart images as you like or need for distinct configurations; customizing them is likely as simple as cp basicnode.ks customnode.ks emacs customnode.ks (add or delete packages, change hard configuration parameters) emacs /etc/dhpcd.conf or whatever (direct nodes to use customnode.ks on their standard install) and then boot the install. Alternatively, for slightly different one-of-a-kind nodes (could we install the compiler group only on THIS node) that are standard plus a package or two, one can do a kickstart install to a basicnode.ks state, then yum install pkgname. > This would take some effort to setup the "install" script and possibly > wouldn't be worth it because it would only save a few minutes (in > parallel) of unattended time while the node installs itself. Yeah, that's the rub;-) Once things are bleeding edge efficient and scalable, it stops being worth it to screw around saving even significant fractions of the little time things take, especially unattended time. Five minutes or ten minutes of network install time per node is pretty irrelevant, as long as I don't have to wait around for either one to complete and as long as both complete without incident on request. > However...

I've not > heard of anybody doing this though so perhaps it isn't desirable but I > know I can think of uses for it. This is the goal of the "computing on demand" (COD) project at Duke. Justin Moore is working on The Ultimate Environment Loader. With it, one will be able to select, in real time, to boot into the entire install image of your choice including OS, kernel, work environment. He's shooting for times of order minutes for the "boot/install" to complete. With this nodes can be dynamically reconfigured to work on completely distinct projects with completely distinct operating systems and work environments and user account and security environments, giving one a whole new perspective on scheduling and resource sharing. Need a freebsd node? Boot it that way. Need a linux node within your organizational domain? Not a problem. Plan to break the hell out of your node installation while doing research on e.g. operating systems, networks, kernels? Fine, break away and reinstall the base image when you're done. Even WinXX, in principle, loaded on demand and it just goes away when the demand ceases (in practice, of course, one has to manage all sorts of copyright issues that I don't want to even think about, or break the law:-). I think that this will be very, very cool and might even change the very way we think about compute resources from the desktop on down. rgb P.S.

Spring turns my head, literally. The bold colors slashing the landscape make it really, really hard for me to keep my eyes on the road as I walk or drive. Right now here in D.C., candy-pink cherry blossoms and sunshine-yellow daffodils are beginning to give way to tulips of every color imaginable. The hyacinths are out, the azaleas are almost here, and the dogwoods are just beginning to spring back to life.
The pale, baby leaves of the mighty maples and oaks look lit from within.
In our backyard, the fiery-red crape myrtle we just planted over Freddie's ashes is beginning to shoot out its first leaves, reminding us that the energy of those we love is always around us, even if they aren't.
It's hard not to feel incredibly good in Spring, nature's wise and well-timed reminder about the cycle of life. Even the most depressive must surely find it hard to stay down when a very tangible yet mysterious force seems to be saying, go on, renew yourself!
I have many plans this Spring. I want to plant my vegetable garden. Join a CSA that will deliver fresh, organic produce to me all summer. Visit six acres of 80,000 tulips, all blooming together in Baltimore's Sherwood Gardens, with my friend Bess. Go hiking with Desi in Harper's Ferry, a gorgeous swath of green national forest in West Virginia, right where Maryland and Virginia touch corners with it.
I also hope to cook more. A lot, lot more. And tell you about it.
What are your plans this Spring?
I had promised in my Dalitoy post to share with you my recipe for the Methi Pilaf with Sun-Dried Tomatoes. This is one of those seemingly-strange combinations of flavors that really, really works. The recipe's a really simple one, requiring– other than methi or fenugreek leaves and the sundried tomatoes– some onion, cumin and a couple of green chillies. What makes it work is the combination of flavors: the bitterness of the methi, the smoky-salty-sourness of the sun-dried tomatoes, and the sweetness of the onions.
I'll get on with the recipe for now. Have a great weekend, all!
Methi Pilaf With Sun-Dried Tomatoes
- 1 bunch of methi , tough stems removed and the leaves chopped (I don't mince them too fine because they cook down anyway)
- 10 sun-dried tomatoes , drained, if packed in oil, then chopped into small pieces
- 1 cup basmati or other long-grain rice
- 1 large red onion , thinly sliced
- 2 tsp cumin seeds
- 2 green chilies , slit down the middle
- 1 tsp vegetable oil , like canola
- Juice of 1 lemon
- Salt to taste
- Heat the oil and add the cumin seeds. When they sputter, add the onions and cook over medium-low heat, about five minutes, until they turn translucent.
- Add the methi leaves and chilies, mix well, and saute another five minutes until the methi's wilted down.
- Add the sun-dried tomatoes and the rice. Toss the rice until it starts to become opaque.
- Add 2 cups of water and some salt to taste. Bring the rice to a boil, then clamp a tight-fitting lid on the pot, turn the heat down to simmer, and let it cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes.
- Turn off the heat and let it stand, again undisturbed, for another 10 minutes at least.
- Open the lid, squeeze lemon juice on the pilaf, and toss gently with a fork to mix.
- Serve hot with a simple dal like Dalitoy.
- Helpful hint: If you don't have access to methi, try this dish with spinach or with watercress.

Winton is a traditional range of oil colors made from moderately priced pigments, formulated for student and amateur artists or more accomplished painters who require large volumes of color within a moderate cost range.
Color Swatches created using heavy application/medium application/50% tint and were applied on acrylic primed canvas (7 oz) material.
organic, monoazo
Benzimidazolone Orange is a reddish orange pigment that can lose its intensity and become dull in tints. It has an average drying time.
Benzimidazolone Orange has excellent lightfastness and outstanding heat and solvent stability for a monoazo pigment.
Benzimidazolone Orange is not considered toxic.
The benzimidazolone group of pigments was developed and patented in 1960 by Hoechst A.G., a German chemical manufacturer that was a forerunner of the pharmaceutical company Aventis. Use of benzimidazolone pigments in the auto industry, especially Benzimidazolone Orange, became common in the 1980s because they were common replacements for lead chromate pigments, which were phased out during this period.
organic, naphthol AS
Pigment PR170 is a bright deep red with bluish undertones. It has an average drying time. It has two crystaline forms that differ significantly in opacity. The more transparent form (F5RK) tends to be more bluish and is less lightfast.
The lightfastness and weatherfastness of Pigment PR170 varies, depending on the application and the crystaline form. The opaque form (F3RK) has very good lightfastness, and is more weather resistant. The transparent form (F5RK) has lightfastness that is considered acceptable in pure applications, but it fades more in tints. Neither form is considered suitable for exterior use.
Naphthol Reds are not considered toxic. They may cause eye, skin, or respiratory irritation. Contact with dry pigment should be avoided.
Naphthol pigments are actually dyes that are "laked" to form pigments. First developed by the German chemical company Hoechst A.G. before World War I, their use in artist paints began in the 1920s. Pigment Red PR170 is a Naphthol AS pigment, chemically related to the diarylide yellow pigments. The Naphthol AS pigments comprise a range of reds. They are used in plastics, textiles, and printing inks.
Naphthal, Naphthol Bordeaux, Naphthol Carbamide, Naphthol Carmine, Permanent Carmine, Naphthol Crimson, Permanent Red, Permanent Red F3RK (more opaque), Permanent Red F5RK (more transparent).
Zinc White is the coolest white, and it has a cold, clean masstone and a slightly bluish tint. It has less hiding power and is more transparent than other whites. It dries slowly and is good for painting wet into wet and for glazing and scumbling. Zinc White is neither as opaque nor as heavy as Lead White, its covering power is not as good, and it takes much longer to dry. However, it does not blacken when exposed to sulfur in the air as Lead White does. It is very valuable for making tints with other colors. Unmixed Zinc White dries to a brittle and dry paint film that may crack over the years, so it is not good for frescoing. It is more transparent in acrylic form than Titanium White and is the most commonly used white with gouache. Chinese White is a version of Zinc White appropriate for opaque watercolor techniques.
Zinc White has great permanence and lightfastness.
Zinc White is moderately toxic if ingested and slightly toxic if inhaled.
Though historians are divided on who first isolated the element zinc, they agree that it was first suggested as a white pigment in 1782. Zinc White was accepted as a watercolor in 1834 and was called Chinese White due to the popularity of oriental porcelain in Europe at the time. Ten years later, a suitable oil form was produced. By the early 20th century, it had improved to the point where it was an acceptable alternative to Flake White.
Chinese White, French White, Permanent White, Silver White, Snow White, Zinc Oxide.

Unemployment Insurance Data Summary
The UI Data Summary is produced quarterly from state-reported data contained in
the Unemployment Insurance Data Base (UIDB) as well as UI-related data from outside
sources (e.g., Bureau of Labor Statistics data on employment and unemployment and U.S.
Department of Treasury data on state UI trust fund activities). This report is intended
to provide the user with a quick overview of the status of the UI system at the national and
state levels. If you are having any problems loading the pdf format data charts on this page,
please contact Dyana Cornell.
*Attention Data Summary Users – Due to the revised calculation for weeks claimed made back in the 3rd quarter of 2006, the Insured Unemployment Rate (IUR) calculations were inadvertently changed as well. The files have now been updated to use calculations consistent with the published average weekly insured unemployed values where claims are reported in the state of residence. These changes affect IURs from the 3rd quarter of 2006 through the 1st quarter of 2008.

It has been a few months since I have checked in but I wanted to send over my thoughts on the first event of the spring and introduce a new addition to "Off the Links."
It is crazy how fast time flies. We have just returned this past week from our first event of the spring, the Coker College Invitational at Grande Dunes, and are now preparing to leave for Savannah to play in the Armstrong Atlantic State University Pirate Invitational on Sunday. As for the Coker College Invitational, I want to thank everyone who participated and the staff at Grande Dunes for all of your support. It was truly a spectacular weekend and a great start to the spring season. Though we had our first finish of the year outside of the top three, I should mention the guys deserve a ton of credit for their hard work and fight.
This Sunday we leave for Savannah, where we finished third last year shooting 590 (+14), only nine shots off the winner Clayton State. I have been very impressed with the team's drive over the past week in preparation for this event. They have competed everyday looking forward to making a statement at such a prestigious event!
And now we are ready to introduce a new addition to "Off the Links." This is intended for all of the parents and casual fans of Coker Golf. At each event, I will attempt to post tournament information including but not limited to:

Technology is having a significant impact on teaching and learning. The power of the cloud and more consumer orientated devices are making anytime, anywhere learning more commonplace and accessible to all. Furthermore, with access to free, or very cost effective, learning content, such as the Khan Academy, now becoming ubiquitous, the role of the teacher is going to evolve and become more important than ever.
So with these observations in mind, how can we best capitalise on the innovation we are witnessing to improve both attainment and outcomes in schools?
Creating more emotional and personalized experiences using technology rather than simply digitising traditional methods of content delivery, such as text books, is vital as the use of technology in the classroom matures. These emotional experiences, using techniques such gaming in education, can have a direct and positive impact on attainment in schools.
Gaming focuses on emotion. You can have funny games, scary games, adrenalin inducing games, and it could be argued that we need to get to this same place with the innovations we are seeing with the use of technology in education. Games offer a wide range of benefits that are well suited to education, such as challenge, progression, reward and access to personalised real-time experiences. These benefits, combined with making education more relevant to the workplace, built around STEM based skills, offers the potential for revolutionary pedagogical changes to be introduced that can both inspire learners and improve outcomes and value in schools.
We are just starting out on this journey, but look forward to following its progression carefully as its adoption builds momentum.

When you appear in traffic court, the first appearance is for Arraignment, which is when you enter a plea.
The judge will ask that you step before the bench and confirm your understanding of the charges. If you do not understand, the charges and the potential consequences in the event of conviction will be read to you. Thereafter, you are asked which plea you want to enter.
There are several pleas you can enter; the most common are:
If you plead guilty you can give the judge an explanation about what happened.
If the judicial officer reduces your fine, he or she can order it be paid immediately, and, considering your prior convictions and any facts in aggravation, can increase the fine over the bail amount.
This is the same as a guilty plea except if you are involved in a civil suit (arising from your actions the citation was issued for) - such as a traffic accident - a no contest plea cannot be used against you in a later civil proceeding.
If the judicial officer reduces your fine, he or she can order it be paid immediately, and, considering your prior convictions and any facts in aggravation, can increase the fine over the bail amount.
The judge will order your case scheduled for trial to determine your innocence or guilt. You will be notified by mail of your court trial date and time to appear. It is your responsibility to assure that the court does have your correct mailing address and a phone number where you can be contacted.
You may not give an explanation at arraignment since the facts will be covered at your trial.
If your case is in a Failure to Appear status, you must post FULL bail plus penalty assessment(s) in order to be placed on calendar. In order to receive a release of your Failure to Appear hold on your driving record after your court appearance, you must pay by cash, credit/debit card or money order. Payment by personal check will delay the release of your Failure to Appear hold.
During court you are expected to sit quietly and refrain from talking, chewing gum, reading newspapers, or other behavior that would distract the court and others.
Shorts, tank tops, and other inappropriate attire are not permitted and you will not be allowed to appear if so dressed. Hats are not to be worn in the courtroom. No food, drinks, or weapons of any kind are allowed in the courtroom.

Author Notes: Around the holidays, my mom often serves soup and sandwiches for a low-key meal the night before she's serving a larger, more labor-intensive one. I've taken this tradition to heart. Not only is soup comforting for traveling guests, it's also a welcome dish for the cook because it can be prepared in advance.
Inspired by a side dish of cauliflower with pears, sage, and hazelnuts from Andrew Carmellini's Urban Italian, I took these same flavors and turned them into a fall soup. This soup is all about building layers of flavor -- you start with leeks and shallot, then lightly brown the cauliflower, potato, and pear with sage and thyme before adding chicken stock for a lazy simmer on the stove. You then puree the soup until it's silky and smooth. I considered finishing the soup with cream or milk but decided it's lovely without it.
The pear is definitely the secret weapon here -- it adds a subtle sweetness and marries perfectly with the other flavors. A prosciutto panini or simple grilled cheese sandwich makes a perfect accompaniment. Fear not making this soup for the self-avowed cauliflower haters in your family -- it's sure to win them over.
Food52 Review: Pear and Sherry vinegar are the star ingredients of this comforting autumn soup, adding a crucial hint of sweetness and complexity to what could otherwise be a fairly bland standby. Creamy and light, it fairly calls out improvisational touches, so feel free to play around by adding a crumble of Stilton, a scattering of crisp fried sage leaves, or a dollop of wasabi. - Kukharka —mitschlag
Serves: 4 to 6
1 T olive oil
2 T butter
1 large leek, white and light green parts, chopped
1 small shallot, chopped
1 head cauliflower, green leaves and trunk removed, florets chopped
2 small yukon gold potatoes, peeled and chopped
1 large or 2 small pears, peeled, cored, and chopped
5 leaves fresh sage (or about 2 tsp chopped)
1 T chopped fresh thyme leaves
5 to 6 cups chicken stock
kosher salt + freshly ground black pepper
2 to 3 tsp sherry vinegar, or to taste (champagne vinegar also works well)
2 T finely chopped chives, for serving
- Heat the oil and butter in a soup pot over medium heat. Add the leek and shallot, and cook until they are soft, stirring occasionally, about 5 minutes.
- Add the cauliflower, potato, pear, sage, and thyme, stirring to thoroughly coat them with the oil and butter. Season with salt and pepper. Cook until lightly browned, stirring frequently, another 8 to 10 minutes. You're aiming for a little caramelization around the edges for depth of flavor.
- Add 5 cups chicken stock. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, lower heat to just maintain the simmer, and cook until all of the ingredients are very tender, about 30 minutes.
- With an immersion blender or regular blender, puree the soup until it's smooth. If using a blender, you may need to do this step in batches, then return to pot. You're looking for a smooth, velvety texture, so take your time to blend thoroughly. Thin with more chicken stock, if needed, until you reach desired consistency.
- Season to taste with vinegar and salt and pepper. Serve in heated bowls, garnished with chives.

Muslims and non-Muslims:
Can we work together for the good of all?
From Soundvision
The fight for civil rights; the struggle against pornography; the aim for better children's television programming: these are concerns of most Muslims and a number of non-Muslims. With talents and resources on both sides, can Muslims and non-Muslims work together on common causes for the greater good? According to Jamal Badawi, a leading North American Islamic scholar, the answer is yes - with certain conditions.
The Quran: enjoining the good, forbidding the evil
In an interview with Sound Vision and RadioIslam.com, Badawi notes that Allah says in the Quran to "cooperate with one another on things that are righteous and pious and good and do not cooperate with one another in aggression or sin. That's a general directive" he says, aimed at not just Muslims, but non-Muslims as well.
Hilf ul Fudool: an example of cooperation from the Prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings be upon him)'s life
The Prophet himself was involved in enjoining the good and forbidding the evil with others in pre-Islamic times, as indicated by the pact known as Hilf UL Fudool.
This was a covenant to protect those who are weak and to make sure that business dealings are conducted without any cheating.
The pact came into being after a merchant from outside Makkah had sold some items to one of the chiefs of the Quraysh tribe in the city. But the chief refused to pay him. The man objected to this injustice.
In response, one of the respected men of the Quraysh, Abdullah ibn Jud'an invited a number of chiefs and noble people to his house to discuss the matter. They agreed to a covenant and decided to stand up for justice if any person, including strangers, visitors or merchants coming from outside, was mistreated or treated unjustly.
The group immediately told the Qurayshite to pay the merchant his due. After being pressured, the man complied.
"That seems to indicate to us that cooperating with anyone, when we are not compromising our principles to achieve the common good is something that should be welcome," says Badawi.
He adds, "even after he (the Prophet) received the revelation and became the Prophet of Allah, still he kept praising that particular covenant and he said that if it is invoked today I will respond. He didn't say he would have nothing to do with it, [since] that was in the pre-Islamic days. He simply still praised that kind of pact."
Based on this example, Badawi explains that many Muslim scholars are of the opinion that cooperation with non-Muslims is permissible provided:
1. It is something that is righteous, good and just.
2. Muslims do not compromise their basic principles and stances.
Badawi adds to these conditions:
3. Muslims understand what benefit will come to them as a result of such cooperation.
4. Muslim participation is not being misused to condone a certain group's erroneous beliefs.
Badawi gave an example of how this could happen: if a group of homosexuals hold a rally against secret evidence. While this cause is one both groups agree with, there are drawbacks to this type of cooperation.
"I think one has to think twice before really being party to that," he says. "A Muslim participating in a group like that might be misconstrued as approving of their (homosexuals') particular way of life which we all know is totally against what the Quran and Sunnah teach".
Areas where Muslims and non-Muslims can work together
Badawi notes that every situation is unique, and Muslims must carefully weigh the harms and benefits of cooperation before choosing which causes to work with non-Muslims on.
"One has to look into the given situation because there may be some organizations who might have a number of causes, one of which is compatible with Islam, the other is not," he says.
"Is there a possibility of misunderstanding if you participate in that activity, that you endorse other things that are not Islamic? Or is the activity basically unique and specified like a coordinated demonstration for the rights of Palestinians or for other things that affect Muslims and non-Muslims alike?"
The price Muslims pay for non-participation
While caution must be exercised, Muslims must not shun legitimate Muslim-non-Muslim cooperation.
"If there is a common cause that is for the benefit of the people and it is consistent with Islam or even called for by Islam even though there might be disagreement on some details and Muslims just sit there and watch, there are a number of prices to be paid."
Badawi gave four possible negative effects of such apathy:
One: Muslims are living in a non-Muslim society where their children and families are being raised. To not oppose evil and enjoin the good will affect Muslims and their families sooner or later.
Two: according to the Quran, one of the characteristics of the Muslim Ummah that made it eligible to be called the best community of believers raised for humanity is ordaining the good and forbidding the evil. By shunning legitimate forms of cooperation, Muslims are not fulfilling this duty.
Three: Islam by its nature is not only for Muslims. It is a mercy to all human beings. So Muslims should have mercy for others, Muslim and non-Muslim, and care for their well-being and guidance.
Four: by not participating Muslims promote the misunderstanding that they don't care, even about the common good. Their absence on legitimate issues of mutual concern will be notable, especially where other groups are actively involved and supportive.
Talking about the upcoming Million Family March on October 16, spearheaded by the Nation of Islam's Louis Farrakhan, Badawi, who was one of the featured speakers at a Nation of Islam conference this summer, emphasized the importance of using the above-mentioned criteria to make this decision.
Badawi did, however, say, "I would have felt much more assured if the statement that appears in their paper (the Nation of Islam newspaper the Final Call) still promoting the old ideas of God incarnating in Fard Muhammad and so on, if as a show of goodwill and sincere intention, that this at least should be removed from the paper that's going around the country."
