We represent a deque as a pair containing two normal lists, the front of the list and the back of the list, with the back of the list in reverse order, with the invariant that if either the front or the back is null, the other one is either null or a singleton. First some simple definitions:
(define dq-null (cons (list) (list)))
(define (dq-null? xs) (equal? xs dq-null))
It is sometimes useful to test whether a deque has only a single element:
(define (dq-singleton? xs)
(or (and (null? (car xs)) (pair? (cdr xs)))
(and (pair? (car xs)) (null? (cdr xs)))))
The constructors at both ends check for a null list, which implies that the other list is a singleton and requires special handling:
(define (dq-cons x xs)
(if (null? (car xs)) (cons (list x) (cdr xs))
(if (null? (cdr xs)) (cons (list x) (car xs))
(cons (cons x (car xs)) (cdr xs)))))
(define (dq-snoc x xs)
(if (null? (cdr xs)) (cons (car xs) (list x))
(if (null? (car xs)) (cons (cdr xs) (list x))
(cons (car xs) (cons x (cdr xs))))))
Fetching either end of the deque is just a matter of taking the car of the appropriate element, being careful to properly handle the case of a singleton deque and signalling an error if the deque is null:
(define (dq-head xs)
(if (pair? (car xs)) (caar xs)
(if (pair? (cdr xs)) (cadr xs)
(error 'dq-head "null deque"))))
(define (dq-last xs)
(if (pair? (cdr xs)) (cadr xs)
(if (pair? (car xs)) (caar xs)
(error 'dq-last "null deque"))))
The only tricky functions are the two functions that delete one of the ends of the queue. When both lists have sufficient elements, it is simple to delete the requested element. But if the deletion would make the list null, we have to be careful. One approach would move a single element from one list to the other when the other list becomes null, but some sequences of inserts and deletes would make that thrash, giving a linear update time. The approach used below splits the deque in two when one of the lists becomes null, which gives amortized constant-time updates and deletes:
(define (dq-tail xs)
(if (null? (car xs))
(if (pair? (cdr xs)) dq-null
(error 'dq-tail "null deque"))
(if (pair? (cdar xs)) (cons (cdar xs) (cdr xs))
(lambda ()
(split (quotient (length (cdr xs)) 2) (reverse (cdr xs))))
(lambda (f b) (cons f (reverse b)))))))
(define (dq-init xs)
(if (null? (cdr xs))
(if (pair? (car xs)) dq-null
(error 'dq-init "null deque"))
(if (pair? (cddr xs)) (cons (car xs) (cddr xs))
(lambda ()
(split (quotient (length (car xs)) 2) (reverse (car xs))))
(lambda (f b) (cons f (reverse b)))))))
Although they weren't required in the definition of the deque library, it is handy to have functions that convert between deques and standard lists, both for testing and in production use:
(define (list->dq xs)
(lambda () (split (quotient (length xs) 2) xs))
(lambda (f b) (cons f (reverse b)))))
(define (dq->list xs) (append (car xs) (reverse (cdr xs))))
We use the split function shown below, which we will add to the Standard Prelude along with its cousin split-while.
(define (split n xs)
(let loop ((n n) (xs xs) (zs (list)))
(if (or (zero? n) (null? xs))
(values (reverse zs) xs)
(loop (- n 1) (cdr xs) (cons (car xs) zs)))))

A ruby version …
class Deque def initialize @a = [] end def add_front(item) @a.unshift item end def add_back(item) @a << item end def get_front @a.first end def get_back @a.last end def remove_front @a.shift end def remove_back @a.pop end end
It cheats a bit by using the ruby array and its assorted functions … but easy.
September 7, 2011 at 4:21 AM
I'm practically just using normal haskell functions, wrapping them in a nice coat of Deque-ness! Kind of cheating, I know!
data Deque a = Deque { deque :: [a] } deriving (Show) beg :: Deque a -> a beg d = head . deque $ d end :: Deque a -> a end d = last . deque $ d delBeg :: Deque a -> Deque a delBeg d = Deque $ tail . deque $ d delEnd :: Deque a -> Deque a delEnd d = Deque $ init . deque $ d
September 7, 2011 at 4:26 AM
And of course I forgot the 'add' functions:
addBeg :: a -> Deque a -> Deque a addBeg i d = Deque $ ((:) i) . deque $ d addEnd :: a -> Deque a -> Deque a addEnd i d = Deque $ (flip (++) $ [i]) . deque $ d

What's New Carry-over style from Fall 2013Midsole technology upgraded to PowerGrid62g lighter than previous versionFlexibility enhanced by removal of midfoot shank The Stabil CS 3 is a huge 62g lighter than the CS 2, it has super-cushioned, super-durable PowerGrid midsole and crucially, the heel-to-toe offset has been reduced from 12mm to 8mm. This puts the runner in a stronger, more stable position, enabling the shoe and the foot to work together throughout the gait cycle to maintain a more neutral position. The foot is held securely, yet inclusions of technology such as IBR+ and the ComfortLite sockliner mean that the feel is much plusher and luxurious. Its not all change though, in many ways, the third version remains true to its predecessors and regular Stabil wearers will be familiar with the high-volume, straight last, which has a very broad base to provide stability. It's also gives a great broad fit, ensuring plenty of space for even the widest of feet. The full length dual density CS (CS stands for Controlled Stability) zone is extended slightly around the heel, to give greater support very early in the gait cycle, but otherwise uses the same highly supportive, yet unobtrusive technology which will help the most severe overpronator yet will not cause discomfort under the arch whilst doing so. The CS zone only stretched halfway up the midsole, thereby enabling the shoe to give maximum stability, but by having the flex grooves cut into this zone it retains flexibility.

I have an Hwug1 Usb Ralink card, I couldn't get it to work for awhile, but I realized that if it was detected IN leopard I could switch it over IN Parallels just before BT booted up completely. So there should be option for usb to be used IN the host system or in the virtual machine in parallels preferences. Mine was not detected unless I attached it(through the menu's in parallels) AS the virtual machine was booting up. Not physically. Softwarily.

Many analysts believe that South African government bonds are now poised to rise after being pummelled along with other emerging market debt, because the outlook for slower inflation and lower official interest rates there remains fair.
Yields on the benchmark R150 (about pounds 20) bond have risen to 14.81 per cent, more than a full percentage point since emerging markets around the world started tumbling last month. That is close to the 15.1 per cent fall seen across all dollar-denominated debt in emerging markets. By comparison, the 10-year British gilt yields 6.74 per cent and 10-year US Treasury bonds yield 5.83 per cent .
Many investors say South African bonds have not deserved recent setbacks and should rise once volatility in emerging markets subsides.
"We see yields moving substantially lower," says Theo Hillen, a director responsible for emerging markets at Lombard Odier Investment Management Services. The firm bought South African bonds in recent weeks after yields rose.
One of the best reasons to expect slower economic growth and inflation next year is the weaker growth in Asian economies that set off the declines in emerging markets, investors feel. "The whole turbulence in most emerging markets should slow the economy even further," says Mr Hillen.
Many countries that export goods and services to Asia are now expected to see weaker demand for their products and merchandise. Slower economic growth is usually good for bond prices, because it reduces inflation risks.
Even without the turmoil in Asia's economies, inflation in South Africa was expected to slow, boding well for bonds. The prospects are for "lower inflation in South Africa, and with that, lower nominal interest rates," according to Graham Boyd, a strategist for UBS Securities in Johannesburg. "The balance of opinion is that it's a temporary upset in the bond market."
South Africa's official inflation rate fell to an annual 8 per cent in September from 8.7 per cent in August, according to the Central Statistical Service in Johannesburg. Although the rate remains above the 20-year low it reached in April 1996 of 5.5 per cent, many analysts and investors say high official interest rates are succeeding in putting the brakes on inflation.
Consumer prices have also been kept from rising more because businesses have been forced to keep down wage increases and boost productivity as they increasingly compete in world markets, says Mr Boyd at UBS. Slower inflation also may allow the Reserve Bank to follow last month's cut in interest rates with similar moves next year.
The Reserve Bank cut lending rates for the first time in four years, lowering its benchmark rate one percentage point to 16 per cent on 17 October. "They will probably move again," says Mr Hillen at Lombard Odier.
There's also a chance that the ratings agency Standard & Poor's will soon improve the country's sovereign debt credit rating to investment grade from one notch below that. S&P officials recently visited South Africa as part of their regular review of the country.
Many investors expect the ratings company to improve its rating for the country early next year, says Mike Lamont, head of capital markets at Standard Corporate and Merchant Bank in Johannesburg. That would probably push bond yields down, since investors demand lower compensation for the risk of holding South African bonds.
The potential drawback is that the turmoil in emerging markets could continue to spill over into the South African market. That would hurt the bonds as foreign investors pull money out, investors warn. "The instability in emerging markets could last a bit longer," says Mr Hillen. "In that case, bonds will be a bit volatile and possibly we will see yields go up even further."
Foreign investors have been net sellers of South African bonds in recent weeks, according to official figures released by the Bond Exchange of South Africa.
Foreigners accounted for 21 per cent of all trading in South African bonds by rand value in the first half of 1997, up from 10 per cent in the same period a year earlier. They bought a net R14.16bn's worth in the year to 7 November. In 1996, foreign net purchases totalled R3.8bn.
It will take a return of the overseas investor to drive bond yields lower, money managers believe. "It's been like someone saying: 'Listen, the town is on fire and all the inhabitants must leave,'" says Thys du Toit, at Coronation Asset Management.
"However, once they're on the hilltop overlooking the town they'll see there are only five houses on fire, and everyone can go back to the houses that aren't burning," says Mr du Toit. "Once sanity has returned, the investors will come back."

We Are The Champions, Again!
Unless you've been hiding under a rock (or heavily medicated) for the past 24 hours, you have surely heard that the college football BCS national championship game was played last night in New Orleans. My Alabama boys beat our bitter SEC-rival LSU in convincing fashion 21-0. Never in the history of the BCS has the losing team scored "0" points - in any BCS bowl, not just the championship.
This was a huge victory for the Alabama program, one we'll be celebrating until football season begins next summer. I'm already looking forward to the Alabama season opener - it will be played in the "new" Dallas Cowboys Stadium, vs. Michigan. Now THAT is going to be huge - and I plan to be there!
Proud of my Alabama quarterback, A.J. McCarron. He is from my hometown of Mobile, and comes from a great family. A class act with a bright future!
Also proud of fellow Gulf Coast native, Trent Richardson. Trent hails from Pensacola (where I now work every day). While playing high school football in Pensacola, Trent broke all of Emmitt Smith's records. For those who don't know their football, Emmitt went on to become a star running back at The University of Florida, and a three-time Super Bowl champion with the Dallas Cowboys.
To my fellow Bama fans, enjoy this victory! It's extra sweet! Roll Tide!

A Prayer for Gabriel
13 comments:
- AnonymousJanuary 5, 2012 at 7:35 PM
As I read this and get to the part where you hug Terry LOVE Lenley, I cry, only to hear my own Gabriel mumbling something in the background, I say what? but I really don't know what he wants or needs. Finally I finishing reading your beautiful well written words and everything else is clear, "My Gabriel needs me to turn on his light in his room, because after all he is only 3 1/2 and wants to play with his Thomas the Train toys." My heart broke when I hugged Wayne and then told him my son is Gabriel too! It was a very cleansing day for me to reconnect with my friends and I now know I would do anything for any of them (you) at anytime, because we are bonded in some way! ONE LOVE! -Anita

So very beautiful, Hollye.
As Rumi wrote...silence is the language of God.
Godspeed, Gabriel.
Jim Dexter Hollye…..you've brought so many tears with your beautiful, heartfelt words. As I'm sure you know, this brings back the sadness of the recent death of my friend's daughter. You are right, it doesn't matter the cause….just that it happened to someone so young and full of life. Love is the only answer to everything!!! It is so powerful…..stronger than any other emotion. It encompasses all. Those who have gone before us, would want nothing less than for all of us to listen and respond to the call of love……for it is in every touch, every smile, every place. Thank you Hollye, for sharing your pain, their pain, their strength, your wisdom and your heart!!!!
I LOVE YOU HOLLYE DEXTER……♥I love you too Georgie, and I thought of you, and your friend losing her gorgeous daughter and grandchild. It's not for us to understand, but only to love each other, hold hands and walk through it. We have to rise to the best in us to survive, and maybe that's why? Maybe these tragedies make us better humans. I don't know. But let's love each other the best we can, because at the end, that's all that matters.
Jim- thank you for that. I love Rumi's Poems.
Anita- Yes- ONE LOVE, just as we always sang together. ONE LOVE.Dearest Hollye, so sorry to hear about the death of your dear friend Gabriel. Our modern world is not comfortable with death or grieving, so I'm pleased you chose to honour Gabriel by writing about him and his passing today. You have shone a light and shown us a far better way, and for this I thank you sincerely.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousJanuary 8, 2012 at 10:40 AM
Until the end of time and time is done and all of the words have been spunned, never ever let life's tragedies and pitfalls dictate or redirect your love and happiness for those you love. We have all been blessed with that ability and the one great thing that we can do is to rediscover that ability everyday, some way,somehow. Take a chance, life is too short for regrets. Reach out and grab it with both hands and enjoy the ride. Gabe did, how can we do anything different? Susie, my love goes out to you and know this one thing that I will always be here.
William Grace is the thing. It's the only thing that saves us, and grace is what answers the 'how' and the 'why.' Grace is also what counts 'now.'
This was really moving Hollye. At EastLake Seattle today, Grace is what we covered. So glad I clicked over here, this was a perfect follow up lesson. Your friends have an angel in you and your friendship. With the understanding you've shown by writing this Prayer for Gabriel, you will be a great comfort to many.I'm so glad you found us here, Ms Peach. Grace is the key so so many of our problems in life.
Glad to hear from you Christy- thank you for your kind comments and for joining our conversation.
And Chilly Willy- lovely words. I know you loved Gabriel so much and shared so many memories with him. love to you, my friend.I worry about my children every time they drive away from my home. I'm afraid an experience like this would (well lets just say that I'm not as strong as you all obviously are) Your group love is infectious and out of the ordinary. This is not the first instance I have noted how you all love each other and I am truly touched by your love for Gabriel. I wish I had met him just once, but he lives on through you all.
DonaldDebra- It is every mother's worst nightmare. And yet, I have now witnessed two of my friend's experience this. All we can do is love our children like crazy, and tell them as often as we can. Even through my worst problems, if my kids are alive and healthy, I am counting my blessings.
Donald- Me, too! I am a notorious worrier, which my adult children do not appreciate, but one day when they have kids, they'll know. And yes, there is tremendous love in this group of friends, and that is something that will help Susie survive this awful tragedy.

Dec 2, 2010 at 5:01 am #1670069BSF10 is working as well
Dec 2, 2010 at 12:55 pm #1670178Shangri-la 5 for $210… If I had any cash left in the gear/hobbies budget I'd be all over that!
Dec 2, 2010 at 1:26 pm #1670185When does this sale end at? I need more time!!!
Dec 2, 2010 at 1:29 pm #1670187Base on Dondo and John, they will end in March 2011, so you will have a lot of time!
Dec 2, 2010 at 2:24 pm #1670206With 40% off, im gonna get the poncho tarp!
Dec 2, 2010 at 4:09 pm #1670234Does anyone have any experience with the 2010 poncho tarp? Is it worth purchasing?
Dec 2, 2010 at 4:22 pm #1670240from what i understand its a little small when sleeping under it, but its the kinda thing you take when you dont expect rain so no big deal there.
Dec 2, 2010 at 4:28 pm #1670242That's just the way poncho tarps are. But, I'm specifically wondering about the 2010 model. I know they made changes. It's lighter.
Dec 2, 2010 at 4:50 pm #1670248The 2010 is lighter due to lighter fabric, (from 30D to 15D) I believe, not due to smaller size. I had an older model poncho tarp which I used, but never in rain. I decided poncho tarping wasn't for me, and I turned my golite into a Roger Caffin Mountain poncho with the aid of 1yd of additional silnylon from Quest Outfitters. Now of I have rain jacket/pack cover that weight 8oz. At 40% off, I might pick up the new, lighter version and convert that one as well. If the 2oz weight loss holds, I could have 5.5oz rainwear for sub 50 temps.
Dec 2, 2010 at 7:30 pm #1670312I have also been looking for a new poncho tarp. I am definitely going to take advantage of the additional 40% off and will let you guys know how it is.
Dec 2, 2010 at 7:42 pm #1670317Royal, I took a look at the 2010 model a few days ago. It looks just like the earlier version but uses a lighter fabric and different colors. I've used the earlier Golite poncho/tarp on shorter trips when there wasn't much chance of rain but Coup and Skurka have used them successfully on longer trips.

Frederick John Perry born in Stockport, Cheshire, was an English tennis and table tennis player and three-time Wimbledon champion. He was the World No. 1 player for five years, four of them consecutive, 1934 through 1938, the first three years as an amateur. He was the last Englishman to win the Wimbledon Men's Singles.
More on Wikipedia…
(13 quotes found)
"Tactics, fitness, stroke ability, adaptability, experience, and sportsmanship are all necessary for winning."
Fred Perry
"I was always a believer in stamping on my opponent if I got him down, at Wimbledon or anywhere else. I never wanted to give him the chance to get up. If I could have beaten him six-minus-one instead of six-love I would."
"With the statue and gates with my name, it's all a great thrill. People are now saying ' I'll meet you at the Perry statue'. It's a strange feeling, makes you feel a little queasy. It's a beautifully-done statue. People don't know how I used to be, they only know me as I am now."
"He worked real hard in the off-season and went to camps. It got him a spot in the lineup this year."
"He put a lot of dedication into this season. He went out to Iowa in the off-season ... he was all hard work and effort."
"A spot opened up on the varsity and he took it. He showed me a lot."
"He wasn't one of the captains, but he showed a lot of leadership in the room this year. And I think it helped him, also."
"There must be room for collaboration in some of the things we do without changing the competitive nature of the market and without compromising either institution."
"I didn't aspire to be a good sport; 'champion' was good enough for me."
"It's a very nostalgic place. I've had a love affair with Wimbledon ever since I can remember. It stays with you."

A British woman has been sentenced to life imprisonment in Pakistan after being convicted of attempting to smuggle 63kg of heroin out of the Islamabad airport.
Khadija Shah, from Birmingham, was six-months pregnant when she was arrested at the airport in 2012 after heroin valued at a UK street value of £3.2 million was found in suitcases she had with her.
Shah denied the charges against her. The 26-year-old, who gave birth to her daughter Malaika in jail, said she was carrying the cases for someone else and did not know what was inside them.
Shah had her two other children with her at the time of her arrest. They have since returned to Britain.
Her 17-month-old daughter has remained behind bars in the Adiala Jail with her.
Maya Foa, director of Reprieve's Death Penalty team, said the verdict was "a terrible outcome" for Khadija and her baby Malaika.
She said: "As happens in hundreds of cases, she was used as a drugs mule without her knowledge, and yet is facing life in a Pakistani prison.
The UK government must ensure that Khadija gets the urgent assistance she needs to appeal her sentence so that her baby doesn't grow up behind bars."
A spokesperson for the Foreign Office said: "We are aware that a British National Khadija Shah has been given a custodial sentence in Pakistan.
"We remain in regular contact with Ms Shah and we will continue to provide her and her family with consular assistance."

Feels so good...
8 comments:
I know how you feel, not with the prednisone, but with having everything pile up and get the best of you. I have had such an overwhelming couple of months I felt like my whole world was falling apart around me. I felt like I was getting hit with all sorts of random stressers from the craziest places.
I am doing my best to pull myself out of it and beginning to feel good again...like I am coming back.
I am glad you are feeling better, it super stinks to feel crummy!I follow you on Twitter, so I would see your occasional tweets about the prednisone side-effects. I was just coming off prednisone when you mentioned you were starting it, and had no side-effects. After reading your tweets, I looked it up and wow! I didn't know it could have that effect(affect?) on people! So, I learned something... sorry it had to be at your expense! Glad to hear you are feeling better!
I love comments! And, I welcome your thoughts that aren't in agreement with mine...as long as they are respectful!

Hello All, I am using SSIS For Each File Enumerator in For Each Loop Container. I have created a folder and I have 60 text files into that folder which I want to integrate into one SQL server 2008 table. I can do so with ForEach Loop container. Now, at the end of the month I will have more 30 files into the folder which I will require to add to the same table. While doing so, I do not want the previous 60 files to get integrated again. Only the new files should get integrated into the table. How can I achieve this? Where will I need to specify the condition to take the newer files only? My datafile names are according to the date: dt7_08072009, dt7_08082009,dt_708092009 etc. Thanks, SWAROOP
Hi, You already have a FOR EACH container where you go through each file and do the processing. Can't you add another FOR EACH container after the above container and go through each file and move to another folder. If you already have already processed files you may have to manually move them (only once) Hope this helps.

The Scottish distillery William Grant & Sons has just released a new product.
Glenfiddich Age of Discovery -- Madeira Cask Finish is a 19 year old single malt whisky. It was matured in new and refill oak casks, then re-racked into casks that were used for maturing Madeira, a sweet fortified wine.
The whisky is presented in a black glass bottle with a red cartouche compass, inside a display box decorated with illustrations that show the travels of Portuguese explorers.
The company says the Madeira cask finish celebrates the pioneering spirit of Portuguese explorers in the 15th Century. Madeira is the name of a North Atlantic archipelago and is an autonomous holding of Portugal.

The definitive guide on hacking the Nexus 4, part 6: How to fix LTE Wifi tethering or hotspot
The definitive guide on hacking the Nexus 4, part 6
Legal disclaimer: We are not responsible for any damage or loss to your device or computer system. Therefore, should you decide to follow these steps, you do so at your own risk and peril and agree to hold us harmless from any damage or loss you may experience. Should you disagree with the foregoing, please do not read any further. Why is wifi hotspot broken when you're using LTE? If you haven't noticed already, wifi hotspot works when you're connected to 3G, but it doesn't work when you're using LTE. For a while, it was suggested that Robelus blocked tethering when LTE is activated, but in fact it has nothing to with Robelus. What's the problem? It's the firewall. Tethering doesn't work on LTE because of the configuration of the internal firewall in Android (as this phone was never supposed to have LTE). Therefore, in order to fix this, we just need to correct the firewall rules. As Android is based on linux, the firewall rules are all command line based and the syntax is quite complicated (as you can see here). If you're interested, there are many front ends that allows you to create firewall scripts for linux, such as this, this and this. Unless you're a linux sysadmin that works with firewalls on a regular basis, I wouldn't bother trying to figuring this out on your own. Luckily for us, some clever person on XDA figured it out the firewall rules for us. It only takes one. There are various different ways to permanently fix the LTE tethering issue. One way is if you have a custom kernel installed, you can add a shell script to /system/etc/init.d. However, we're going to take a slightly different approach by installing an Android app which we're going to tell it to run a script on every boot. The script will configure the correct firewall rules. The source of the below information was found on this thread at XDA. After executing the firewall script, LTE wifi tethering started working immediately for us. How to permanently fix LTE wifi hotspot 1) Download and install this app called Script Manager – SManager (free). 2) Send yourself an email (that can easily be accessed from your phone) with the following text in the content of the email. Try to avoid blank spaces at the beginning and at the end of the lines. #!/system/bin/sh iptables -A bw_FORWARD -i !lo+ iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i rmnet+ -o wlan0 -m state --state RELATED,ESTABLISHED iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ -m state --state INVALID iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j RETURN -i wlan0 -o rmnet+ iptables -A natctrl_FORWARD -j DROP iptables -A natctrl_nat_POSTROUTING -t nat -o rmnet+ -j MASQUERADE 3) Open up that email on your phone and copy the contents of the email. 4) Open SManager and you should see something like below. We're going to enable Root access for SManager. Click on "…" and select "More" then "Advanced" then select "Mount /system rw", push "Ok". 5) Go back to the "Advanced" menu and select "Configuration", tick the checkboxes below. 6) We're going to create a new script in the next few steps, but before we do that. Navigate to /system/app/ as we had some difficulty setting the correct permissions for the script in various other folders (not sure why that is). Once you're at /system/app/ click on "…" and select "New Script". 7) You will see the screen below, type in a name, such as "lte" and push "Ok". 8) If you get a "DANGER!!!" warning screen, just push "Brick". Don't worry about the warning. It's just saying that you're trying to modify a Read-only directory. It may request Root access afterwards. 9) On the next screen, choose "Open Directly". 10) Select your favorite text editor, we're going to use SM Editor. 11) You should now see a screen like below. 12) Paste the content of the email inside this text editor. It should look something like below. 13) Navigate to /system/app/ again and long press the lte file that you created. Select "Properties" 14) Check all of the boxes just to make sure that it has sufficient privileges (this is equivalent to chmod 777 in linux) and push "Apply" then "Close". Long press the lte file again to make sure that the permissions have "stuck". The file's icon should change now. 15) Click on the icon for lte and you should see something like below. 16) Click on "Su" (which means superuser or Root) then click "Boot" (to make it run on boot), select "Is executable" then push "Save" 17) The icon for "lte" should change again to the "Su" and "Boot" icons in the screen above. Reboot your phone and LTE wifi tethering should work. If you have any questions or require any clarifications, please leave a comment below and we'll get back to you. In part 7, we'll discuss how to go back to stock Android 4.22. |

Handmade Holidays...
I have always made my kids Easter Baskets. I think the premade ones are expensive and the toys are always crappy that come with them. But last year I bought premade ones only because my 2 oldest sons were into skateboarding and they came with little kid sized real skateboards. But I dismantled the baskets (they weren't really baskets, they were metal tins with handles) and I put everything in the baskets they use every year. And I added some good candy and what-not. And then guess what I found right before christmas hiding in my bedroom? A WHOLE bag full of Easter basket stuffers I apparently bought and forgot about! So I gave it to them. This year, no more premade baskets! I will buy all the stuff and make them myself! No moe hiding and forgetting I bought stuff! I have a locked cabinet for my scrapbook and paper crafting supplies, I will hide it all in there! So what do you plan on doing? Are you going to put home made stuff in the baskets or buy stuff and just assemble the baskets yourself? I put a little of both, I buy stuff (Target dollar section is great for basket stuffers), and I make stuff. I was thinking of putting home made cookies or something in their baskets this year! I'm trying to compile a list of ideas so I can take some of them and make my Easter basket plans!
We don't really do Easter baskets but I do like to get the kids something so they don't feel left out. This year they get monsters!
I designed & made this monster for a swap in another group and they loved it.
So now one for each of my kiddos! They all have: hidden zipper pockets on the tummy. Hands that can snap together, hold toys, or hold hands with the other monsters. Ribbon loop toes. Snaps for eyes. And an assortment of fabrics for texture. They are about 17 x 9 inches.
For Spencer, age 6
For Bella, age 2.5
For Tater (Taegan) age 2 months

Faruk Al-Bashir
this wiki
Faruk Al-Bashir (Persian: فرخ البشیر), sometimes spelled Farukh Al-Bashir, is the secondary antagonist featured in the singleplayer campaign of Battlefield 3.
Following a coup that resulted after a catastrophic earthquake in the Iran-Iraq border, Faruk comes into power in Iran. He is the leader of the Iranian insurgency known as the People's Liberation and Resistance.
He is first seen in the game when Blackburn and his squad view security camera footage near the bank's vault, showing him with Solomon and a PLR soldier through a CCTV feed. Afterwards, when Jonathan Miller is captured during Fear No Evil, he goes on video and delivers a short, two-sentence monologue, in which Solomon proceeds to execute Miller.
In Night Shift, the Marines are sent to capture Al-Bashir. However, he gets into a car crash when he tries to escape and later dies of his wounds while being extracted by the Marines.
Before he died, Al-Bashir gave critical intel to Blackburn about the day the bombs are set to explode while also cursing Solomon for "using everyone" to his own advantage. A cellular phone was also recovered on the corpse of Al-Bashir later to be inspected for intel.
- When he was extracted and interrogated by the Marines, he always referred to and pronounced Solomon as "Sulaiman" (Persian: سليمان)
- In the book Battlefield 3: The Russian, it is mentioned that Al-Bashir was a former General of the Iranian Air Force.
- His face is plastered on propaganda posters in some multiplayer maps; stating "savior" in Persian on them.

Trace (deconstruction)
Trace is one of the most important concepts in Derridian deconstruction. In the 1960s, Derrida used this word in two of his early books, namely Writing and Difference and Of Grammatology. In French, the word "trace" has a range of meanings similar to those of its English equivalent, but also suggests meanings related to the English words "track", "path", or "mark". In the preface to her translation of Of Grammatology, Gayatri Chakravorty Spivak wrote "I stick to 'trace' in my translation, because it 'looks the same' as Derrida's word; the reader must remind himself of at least the track, even the spoor, contained within the French word".[1] Because the meaning of a sign is generated from the difference it has from other signs, especially the other half of its binary pairs, the sign itself contains a trace of what it does not mean. One cannot bring up the concepts of woman, normality, or speech without simultaneously evoking the concepts of man, abnormality, or writing. The trace is the nonmeaning that is inevitably brought to mind along with the meaning.[2] Derrida does not positively or strictly define trace, and denies the possibility of such a project. Indeed, words like "différance", "arche-writing", "pharmakos/pharmakon", and especially "specter", carry similar meanings in many other texts by Derrida. His refusal to apply only one name to his concepts is a deliberate strategy to avoid a set of metaphysical assumptions that, he argues, have been central to the history of European thought.
Trace can be seen as an always contingent term for a "mark of the absence of a presence, an always-already absent present", of the 'originary lack' that seems to be "the condition of thought and experience". Trace is a contingent unit of the critique of language always-already present: "language bears within itself the necessity of its own critique".[3] Deconstruction, unlike analysis or interpretation, tries to lay the inner contradictions of a text bare, and, in turn, build a different meaning from that: it is at once a process of destruction and construction. Derrida claims that these contradictions are neither accidental nor exceptions; they are the exposure of certain "metaphysics of pure presence", an exposure of the "transcendental signified" always-already hidden inside language. This "always-already hidden" contradiction is trace.

Metaphysics, logocentrism, differance and trace
One of the very many difficulties of expressing Jacques Derrida's project (Charles Sanders Peirce, Jean-Jacques Rousseau, Karl Marx, Friedrich Nietzsche, Emmanuel Levinas, Edmund Husserl, Martin Heidegger and others. Some have tried to write simplified versions of this theory, such as Deconstruction for Beginners[4] and Deconstructions: A User's Guide,[5] but their attempts have moved so much away from the original that they have drawn flak from almost all quarters. The best way to learn about deconstruction is to read Derrida's own work; nonetheless, this short exposition of the relationship between "trace" and the Derrida's project may help orient his readers.
Derrida's philosophy is chiefly concerned with metaphysics, although he does not define it rigorously, and takes it to be "the science of presence". In his own words:
The history of metaphysics, like the history of the West, is the history of these metaphors and metonymies. Its matrix—if you will pardon me for demonstrating so little and for being so elliptical in order to bring me more quickly to my principal theme—is the determination of being as presence in all the senses of this word. It would be possible to show that all the names related to fundamentals, to principles, or to the center have always designated the constant of a presence--- eidos, arché, telos, energia, ousia, aletheia, transcendentality, consciousness, or conscience, God, man, and so forth.[6]Derrida finds the root of this metaphysics, which he calls "metaphysics of pure presence", in logos, which is internal to language itself. He calls this "Logocentrism", which is a tendency towards definitive truth-values through forced closure of structures. In his belief, it is the structure of language itself that forces us into metaphysics, best represented through truth-values, closures, speech as valorized by Socrates in Phaedrus. In fact, according to Derrida, Logocentrism is so all-pervasive that the mere act of opposing it cannot evade it by any margin. On the other hand, Derrida finds his Nietzschean hope (his own word is "affirmation") in heterogeneity, contradictions, absence etc. To counter the privileged position of the speech (parole) or the phonè, he puts forward a new science of grammé or the unit of writing: grammatology. Unlike structuralists, Derrida does not see language as the one-to-one correspondence between signifier and signified [for a detailed critique of the structuralist project, read Sign, Structure, and Play in Human Sciences, at [1]; to him, language is a play of identity and difference, an endless chain of signifiers leading to other signifiers. In spite of all the logocentric tendencies towards closure, and truth-values, language, or text for that matter, always contradicts itself. This critique is inherent in all texts, not through a presence, but an absence of a presence long sought by logocentric visions. Influenced by some aspects of Freudian psycho-analysis, Derrida presents us the strategy of deconstruction, an amalgamation of Heidegger's concept of Destruktion and Levinas's concept of the Other. Deconstruction as a strategy tries to find the most surprising contradictions in texts, unravel it, and built over it. Instead of finding the truth, the closure, the steadfast meaning, it finds absence of presence, loophole, freeplay of meanings etc. . It is this absence of presence that is termed as 'trace' by Derrida. However, he treats the word cautiously, and uses it only as a contingency measure, because the traditional meaning of the word 'trace' is a part of the scheme Derrida wants to denude.[7] By the virtue of trace, signifiers always simultaneously differ and defer from the illusive signified. This is something Derrida calls "Differance". According to him, "Differance is the non-full, non-simple "origin"; it is the structured and differing origin of differences".[8] According to Derrida language is labyrinthine, inter-woven and inter-related, and the threads of this labyrinth are the differences, traces. Along with "supplement", trace and difference conveys a picture of what language is to Derrida. All these terms are part of his strategy; he wants to use trace to "indicate a way out of the closure imposed by the system…".[9] Trace is, again, not presence but an empty simulation of it:
The trace is not a presence but is rather the simulacrum of a presence that dislocates, displaces, and refers beyond itself. The trace has, properly speaking, no place, for effacement belongs to the very structure of the trace. . . . In this way the metaphysical text is understood; it is still readable, and remains read.[10]It is essentially an "antistructuralist gesture",[11] as he felt that the "Structures were to be undone, decomposed, desedimented".[12] Trace, or difference, is also pivotal in jeopardizing strict dichotomies:
[I]t has been necessary to analyze, to set to work, within the text of the history of philosophy, as well as within the so-called literary text,..., certain marks, shall we say,... that by analogy (I underline) I have called undecidables, that is, unities of simulacrum, "false" verbal properties (nominal or semantic) that can no longer be included within philosophical (binary) opposition, resisting and disorganizing it, without ever constituting a third term, without ever leaving room for a solution in the form of speculative dialectics.[13]
Trace is also not linear or chronological in any sense of the word, "This trace relates no less to what is called the future than what is called the past, and it constitutes what is called the present by the very relation to what it is not, to what it absolutely is not; that is, not even to a past or future considered as a modified present".[14] Trace is a contingent strategy, a bricolage for Derrida that helps him produce a new concept of writing (as opposed to the Socratic or Saussurean speech), where "The interweaving results in each 'element' - phoneme or grapheme - being constituted on the basis of the trace within it of the other elements of the chain or system. This interweaving, this textile, is the text produced only in the transformation of another text".[15]
Heideggerian Dasein and Derridian trace
Derrida's concept of "trace" is quite similar to Heidegger's concept of Dasein, although from different perspectives. Here, we see the relationship between Heideggerian existentialism and Derridian concept of "trace", which, in turn, will also work as an indicator of a very close relationship between existentialism and deconstruction.
Derrida's first indebtedness to Heidegger lies in his use of the notion of sous rature ('under erasure'). To write 'Under erasure' is to write a word, cross it out, and then print both word and deletion. The word is inaccurate (which itself is an inaccurate word), hence the cross, yet the word is necessary, hence the printing of the word. This is one of the principal strategies of Derrida: "(possibility) of a discourse which borrows from a heritage the resources necessary for the deconstruction of that heritage itself".[16] This is similar to the concept of bricolage coined by anthropologist Lèvi-Strauss. Derrida himself explains:
Lèvi-Strauss will always remain faithful to this double-intention: to preserve as an instrument that whose truth-value he criticizes, conserving…..all these old concepts, while exposing….their limits, treating them as tools which can still be of use. No longer is any truth-value [or rigorous meaning] attributed to them; there is a readiness to abandon them if necessary if other instruments should appear more useful. In the meantime, their relative efficacy is exploited, and they are employed to destroy this old machinery to which they belong and of which they themselves are pieces.[17]
However, now that we are done discussing this Derridian strategy, let us get back to the concept of sous rature. To understand it properly, we need to learn about Heidegger's existentialist theories. In doing so, we will also explore the link between existentialism and structuralism. Heidegger said that the possibility of 'being', or what he called "Dasein" (meaning being-there), is the presupposition behind any definition, any defined entity. He comes to this decision through the general problem of definition: if anything is to be defined as an entity, then the question of Being, in general, have to be answered affirmatively at first.[18] Before we can think and decide that something exists, we must acknowledge the fact that anything can be. This Being is not an answer to a question, as it predates any thought, or possibility of thought: if the subject of your thought "exists", then the Being is always-already there. Yet, Heidegger refuses the metaphysicality of the word "Being", and tries to keep it to the human realm by crossing it out. When Heidegger puts "Being" before all concepts, he is trying to put an end to a certain trend of Western philosophy that is obsessed about the origin, and by the same token, the end. Putting "Being" under erasure is an attempt by Heidegger to save his concept of "Being" from becoming the metaphysical origin and the eschatological end of all entities. Yet, by making "Dasein" or "Being" his master-word, his function-word, Heidegger, nonetheless, fails to do so. Heidegger's concept of "Dasein" is similar to the Structuralist concept of the 'signified'. To put it simply, in Structuralism, all signifiers are directly connected to an extra-linguistic signified, the invariable ones. To 'mean' anything, a signifier must presuppose a signified already-always outside it. This is what Derrida terms as the "transcendental signified": as a signified, it belongs to the realm of language, but by being invariable, and by refusing any movement, it remains outside it [A word, if immovable, can mean nothing, or even exist. Only when an endless chain of other signifiers, other words, hints, get associated with it, it finally acquires meaning ('Camel' is understandable only when it is thinly associated with many related words, such as 'animal', 'desert', 'cigarette', 'long neck etc). In other words, language is this movement]. Dasein, by being under the erasure, claims to remain in the realm of physicality, but by being prior and anterior to any entity, and any thought, it remains outside them. In short, Heidegger's idea of "Dasein" fails to overcome the metaphysical trap. Derrida takes almost a similar strategy. But in his case, he puts the concept of "trace" under erasure. Trace, unlike "Dasein", is the absence of the presence, never itself the Master-word; it is the radically "other", it plays within a certain structure of difference. To Derrida, sign is the play of identity and difference; half of the sign is always "not there", and another half "not that" [We define everything negatively, a chair is 'not' a table, 'not' five-legged, one-legged, 'not' animate, 'not' of flesh. For detailed discussion, check Ferdinand de Saussure]. The sign never leads to the extra-linguistic thing, it leads to another sign, one substituting the other playfully inside the structure of language. We do not feel the presence of a thing through a sign, but through the absence of other presences, we guess what it is. To Derrida, trace and not "being-there", difference and not identity which creates meaning inside language. This is the main difference between Heideggerian Dasein and Derridian Trace.

From then on, to wrench the concept of the trace from the classical scheme which would derive it from a presence or from an originary non-trace and which would make of it an empirical mark, one must indeed speak of an originary trace or arche-trace.

The current issue of Birding magazine has some interesting notes about recent research on chickadees, titmice, and other members of the Paridae family. (The report in Birding summarizes a study published last year in The Auk.) Researchers determined that the genus Parus, which used to contain all chickadees, titmice, and related species, should in fact be broken into multiple genera. The suggested division includes Poecile (chickadees) and Baeolophus (titmice) in North America. Eurasian and African tits are now divided into Parus, Lophanes, Periparus, and Cyanistes. The split of New World chickadees and titmice into the Poecile and Baeolophus genera is not new; the AOU recognized the split in 1998.
For North American birders, the results regarding chickadees are intriguing. Though the black-capped chickadee and carolina chickadee interbreed and are similar enough in appearance to make identification difficult, they are not as closely related as one might think. Instead, black-capped is more closely related to the mountain chickadee. Among carolina chickadees, there are significant genetic differences between the two subspecies, the eastern extimus and the carolinensis subspecies in Louisiana. Whether that would be enough to call for a species split is not addressed in the Birding summary.

perkins - perkins is usually one of the better spots on a hight tide. this definatley isn't a beginners wave because the bottom is mostly rock and it can get very shallow

One of best spots in Florida. - Perkins is not only one of the best surf spots in Florida, but is one of the only rideable reef breaks around here. This spot breaks with the nicest form,and power generating barrels with boost worthy waves. The review of this break is completely mis-scored, and if you can find the place, definately surf it. Sea turtles are everywhere at this place so turtle lovers be aware!@! These turtles taste great in stew. Perkins is clearly one of the best surf spots in Florida.

HAVE FUN - This place breaks totally different since we have had all of the hurricanes come through. On a good day it can be very powerful and very fast. The hurricanes washed away a lot of sand so there is actually a rock shelf in the water to the left of the building. My friends and I surf here at low tide and we have all hit the rocks.I dont think this is a beginners spot at all. Have fun finding it since there is no Perkins there anymore

Rationing itself will always be inherent in any system where demand exceeds supply.
The nub, however, is that the government of the day, elected by the society it serves, and which determines the national spend on health care for that society, should accept responsibility for rationing on behalf of that society, and not simply dump it into the lap of individual GPs, under some politically convenient pretext.
In my surgery I remain the advocate of my patient, and will continue to strive for the best possible health care for that individual. Until the Government, mandated by our society, openly states the level of healthcare acceptable to that society, and its implications, rationing has no place in the consulting room.

Co-CEOs Balsillie and Lazaridis Kicked Off Sinking RIM Ship, COO to Step In
Brandon Hill
January 22, 2012 9:40 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
RIM finally grabs ahold of its future, dumps its past... sorta
writing has been on the wall for months
, but the co-CEO's of Research in Motion (RIM) are getting the boot. Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis have shared power at RIM for over twenty years and oversaw the company's dominance at the start of the smartphone revolution. In their place will be a new, solitary President and CEO: 54-year-old Thorsten Heins.
RIM's new CEO, Thorsten Heins, pictured on the left [Source: Getty Images]
Heins joined RIM in 2007 and was previously the Waterloo, Ontario-based company's Chief Operating Officer. Before landing at RIM, Heins' most prominent role was a Chief Technology Officer for the communications division of Siemens.
I. Rearranging the Deck Chairs?
For those expecting a big change for RIM now that someone new is in the driver's seat, you'll likely be disappointed. According to
The Globe and Mail
, Heins has been groomed by both Balsillie and Lazaridis over the past few years to slide into the role as CEO; so it's not like the company is getting an injection of fresh blood.
Lazaridis and Balsillie, who both will remain on RIM's board, had kind words for their protégé. "There comes a time in the growth of every successful company when the founders recognize the need to pass the baton to new leadership," said Lazaridis. "Jim and I went to the Board and told them that we thought that time was now."
"I agree this is the right time to pass the baton to new leadership, and I have complete confidence in Thorsten, the management team and the company," added Balsillie. "I remain a significant shareholder and a Director and, of course, they will have my full support."
In addition, Heins has no plans to change RIM's current course when it comes to its product development. "There's no need for me to shake this company up or turn it upside down," said Heins. "We are not at a point where we try to define a strategy, that's done."
Heins went on to tout RIM's upcoming PlayBook 2.0 software and the
delayed Blackberry 10 operating system
. "BlackBerry 7 has been well received. We are very excited about PlayBook 2.0 and BlackBerry 10. The reception of our products at this year's Consumer Electronics Show was encouraging.
"RIM earned its reputation by focusing relentlessly on the customer and delivering unique mobile communications solutions. We intend to build on this heritage to expand BlackBerry's leadership position."
II. From Prized Jewel to Falling Star
Blackberry smartphones were the prized possessions of businessmen/businesswomen (and consumers) -- the smartphones were even lovingly referred to as
Former RIM Co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis
However, the company was not agile enough to stay ahead of the game when new competitors entered the fray; especially once Apple's iPhone
hit the market in 2007
. What once was a small Chihuahua nipping at the heels of RIM in the beginning turned into a snarling pit bull once the full onslaught of Android-based smartphones started flooding the market.
When it comes to its current U.S. market share,
things look bleak for RIM
. According to Nielsen, Android smartphones have 46.3 percent of the market, while Apple's iPhone family has 30 percent market share. RIM has fallen from its commanding lead in the sector just a few short years ago to a meager 14.9 percent.
The numbers are even more sobering when you look at a three-month snapshot of smartphone sales. Those number shows that 51.7 recent smartphone acquirers went for Android devices, 37 percent flocked to iPhones, and just 6 percent crawled to RIM's Blackberries.

"A lot of people pay zero for the cellphone ... That's what it's worth." -- Apple Chief Operating Officer Timothy Cook

Spinal Bone Density and Tooth Loss in a Cohort of Postmenopausal Women
Osteoporosis has been suggested to contribute to the edentulous condition. However, studies specifically designed to examine the relationship between tooth loss and osteoporosis are scarce, and reported results have been mixed. This study investigated the correlation between tooth loss and spinal bone density in a nonHispanic white female population. Forty-four subjects were recruited and divided into high and low spinal bone density groups based on whether the bone density was higher or lower than the age-adjusted population mean bone density. Missing teeth and periodontal status in these groups were assessed and analyzed. Tooth loss was not significantly different between subjects with low spinal bone density (4.90 =- 0.89 teeth) and high spinal bone density (3.81 +- 0.90 teeth). Tooth loss did not differ after age and periodontal adjustment. However, the loss of attachment levels (relative to the cementoenamel junction) was greater in the low spinal bone density subjects (3.42 +- 0.30 mm) than in the high spinal bone density subjects (2.37 +- 0.26 mm) (P < .05). The difference may have resulted from gingival recession (P < .05), because the gingival pocket depths were not significantly different between the two groups. In this study, total tooth loss was not directly associated with systemic bone density. However, periodontal disease was negatively associated with spinal bone density. Whether periodontal disease will ultimately lead to greater tooth loss in low spinal bone density group merits further investigation.

Please clarify whether you want all the IP addresses on a line that contains an address on your 10.0.0 network or whether you only want to capture addresses on that network. Note that when you look for a line containing "10.0.0" you should quotemeta your $myip variable because the regex /10.0.0/ will also match 100000 and 10a0b0 since the dot will match any character.

The commercial radio sector's diminishing success in competing for listeners against the BBC remains one of its most pressing problems. In 1998, commercial radio's share of listening was 51.1%, but that figure is now down to 42.4% [RAJAR Q2 1998 versus Q3 2009]. Conversely, the BBC's share has increased from 46.8% to 55.0% over the same period. The long-term decline in commercial radio's market power looks like this in recent quarters [see graph below]:
Now, if we extract listening via DAB from the total for all digital platforms, we observe two phenomena [see graph below]. Firstly, commercial radio is badly losing the battle for DAB platform usage to the BBC by a ratio of 1:2. Secondly, commercial radio's performance on the DAB platform is worsening over time. It is the combination of these two trends which is dragging down not only the commercial sector's share of digital platforms, but also its overall competitive performance against the BBC.
The data suggests that, far from the DAB platform helping the commercial radio sector compete more effectively against the BBC, the absolute opposite holds true:
• The average adult with a newly acquired DAB radio uses it for listening in a way that effectively reduces the commercial radio sector's overall share of listening versus the BBC
• Acceleration of DAB usage will only serve to accelerate the decline in commercial radio's share of radio listening versus the BBC.
These outcomes are hardly surprising when one considers industry data which show that:
• DAB radios are purchased predominantly by older people (the average age of a DAB radio receiver owner is 46, according to RAJAR)
• Older people listen to BBC radio much more than to commercial radio (BBC radio accounts for 63% of radio listening amongst over-45s, according to RAJAR).
The paradox is that stakeholders in commercial radio continue to push for DAB to be adopted by consumers as quickly as possible, even though the inevitable outcome will be to reduce further the commercial sector's listening share, handing the BBC even more of a competitive advantage.
So why exactly does the notion continue to be voiced by significant players in commercial radio that the DAB platform is itself the answer to the sector's present lack of competitiveness with the BBC?
[Data source: RAJAR. Statistical note: The graphs above to do not sum to 100% because the minimal amount of platform data released by RAJAR is 'rounded' (hours listened to 1,000,000 per week; listening shares to 0.1%) and the listening apportioned to the BBC and commercial radio sometimes does not sum to the total for a platform. Part of this shortfall may be accounted for by 'other' listening (neither the BBC nor commercial radio) which is not itemised by platform. Data for individual quarters are therefore somewhat inconsistent, though the trend over several quarters is likely to be indicative.]

In May, 2010 we donated a white vinyl arbor to the St. Juan Diego Parish in Portland for an auction to be held later that month. We recently received a letter updating us on the status of their fundraiser.
Congratulations to the St. Juan Diego youth group for the $17,000 they raised through that auction! The youth group used a portion of the proceeds for a service trip to the Dolores Mission in East Los Angeles — money well spent. The remaining proceeds will be used to pay for future youth mission projects.
We at Rick's Fencing commend the St. Juan Diego youths for their public service efforts, and wish them the best in their continuing efforts to make this world a better place.

" She bequeathed death to all the lives she conjured up out of her rich catalogue. Her sentenses were never commuted. How could he ever forgive? How could he ever forget?
She loves them all so much!"
