KDE Architecture - KDE's IO architecture
In the age of the world wide web, it is of essential importance that desktop applications can access resources over the internet: they should be able to download files from a web server, write files to an ftp server or read mails from a web server. Often, the ability to access files regardless of their location is called network transparency.
In the past, different approaches to this goals were implemented. The old NFS file system is an attempt to implement network transparency on the level of the POSIX API. While this approach works quite well in local, closely coupled networks, it does not scale for resources to which access is unreliable and possibly slow. Here, asynchronicity is important. While you are waiting for your web browser to download a page, the user interface should not block. Also, the page rendering should not begin when the page is completely available, but should updated regularly as data comes in.
In the KDE libraries, network transparency is implemented in the KIO API. The central concept of this architecture is an IO job. A job may copy, or delete files or similar things. Once a job is started, it works in the background and does not block the application. Any communication from the job back to the application - like delivering data or progress information - is done integrated with the Qt event loop.
Background operation is achieved by starting ioslaves to perform certain tasks. ioslaves are started as separate processes and are communicated with through UNIX domain sockets. In this way, no multi-threading is necessary and unstable slaves can not crash the application that uses them.
File locations are expressed by the widely used URLs. But in KDE, URLs do not only expand the range of addressable files beyond the local file system. It also goes in the opposite direction - e.g. you can browse into tar archives. This is achived by nesting URLs. For example, a file in a tar archive on a http server could have the URL
In most cases, jobs are created by calling functions in the KIO namespace. These functions take one or two URLs as arguments, and possible other necessary parameters. When the job is finished, it emits the signal result(KIO::Job*). After this signal has been emitted, the job deletes itself. Thus, a typical use case will look like this:
void FooClass::makeDirectory()
SimpleJob *job = KIO::mkdir(KURL("file:/home/bernd/kiodir"));
connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KIO::Job*)),
this, SLOT(mkdirResult(KIO::Job*)) );
void FooClass::mkdirResult(KIO::Job *job)
if (job->error())
cout << "mkdir went fine" << endl;
Depending on the type of the job, you may connect also to other signals.
Here is an overview over the possible functions:
KIO::mkdir(const KURL &url, int permission)
KIO::rmdir(const KURL &url)
KIO::chmod(const KURL &url, int permissions)
KIO::rename(const KURL &src, const KURL &dest, bool overwrite)
KIO::symlink(const QString &target, const KURL &dest, bool overwrite, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::stat(const KURL &url, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::get(const KURL &url, bool reload, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::put(const KURL &url, int permissions, bool overwrite, bool resume, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::http_post(const KURL &url, const QByteArray &data, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::mimetype(const KURL &url, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::file_copy(const KURL &src, const KURL &dest, int permissions, bool overwrite, bool resume, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::file_move(const KURL &src, const KURL &dest, int permissions, bool overwrite, bool resume, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::file_delete(const KURL &url, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::listDir(const KURL &url, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::listRecursive(const KURL &url, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::copy(const KURL &src, const KURL &dest, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::move(const KURL &src, const KURL &dest, bool showProgressInfo)
KIO::del(const KURL &src, bool shred, bool showProgressInfo)
Both the KIO::stat() and KIO::listDir() jobs return their results as a type UDSEntry, UDSEntryList resp. The latter is defined as QValueList<UDSEntry>. The acronym UDS stands for "Universal directory service". The principle behind it is that the a directory entry only carries the information which an ioslave can provide, not more. For example, the http slave does not provide any information about access permissions or file owners. Instead, a UDSEntry is a list of UDSAtoms. Each atom provides a specific piece of information. It consists of a type stored in m_uds and either an integer value in m_long or a string value in m_str, depending on the type.
The following types are currently defined:
Although the way of storing information about files in a UDSEntry is flexible and practical from the ioslave point of view, it is a mess to use for the application programmer. For example, in order to find out the MIME type of the file, you have to iterate over all atoms and test whether m_uds is UDS_MIME_TYPE. Fortunately, there is an API which is a lot easier to use: the class KFileItem.
Often, the asynchronous API of KIO is too complex to use and therefore implementing full asynchronicity is not a priority. For example, in a program that can only handle one document file at a time, there is little that can be done while the program is downloading a file anyway. For these simple cases, there is a mucher simpler API in the form of a set of static functions in KIO::NetAccess. For example, in order to copy a file, use
KURL source, target;
source = ...;
target = ...
KIO::NetAccess::copy(source, target);
The function will return after the complete copying process has finished. Still, this method provides a progress dialog, and it makes sure that the application processes repaint events.
A particularly interesting combination of functions is download() in combination with removeTempFile(). The former downloads a file from given URL and stores it in a temporary file with a unique name. The name is stored in the second argument. If the URL is local, the file is not downloaded, and instead the second argument is set to the local file name. The function removeTempFile() deletes the file given by its argument if the file is the result of a former download. If that is not the case, it does nothing. Thus, a very easy to use way of loading files regardless of their location is the following code snippet:
KURL url;
url = ...;
QString tempFile;
if (KIO::NetAccess::download(url, tempFile) {
// load the file with the name tempFile
As can be seen above, the interface to IO jobs is quite abstract and does not consider any exchange of information between application and IO slave that is protocol specific. This is not always appropriate. For example, you may give certain parameters to the HTTP slave to control its caching behavior or send a bunch of cookies with the request. For this need, the concept of meta data has been introduced. When a job is created, you can configure it by adding meta data to it. Each item of meta data consists of a key/value pair. For example, in order to prevent the HTTP slave from loading a web page from its cache, you can use:
void FooClass::reloadPage()
KURL url("http://www.kdevelop.org/index.html");
KIO::TransferJob *job = KIO::get(url, true, false);
job->addMetaData("cache", "reload");
The same technique is used in the other direction, i.e. for communication from the slave to the application. The method Job::queryMetaData() asks for the value of the certain key delivered by the slave. For the HTTP slave, one such example is the key "modified", which contains a (stringified representation of) the date when the web page was last modified. An example how you can use this is the following:
void FooClass::printModifiedDate()
KURL url("http://www.kde.org");
KIO::TransferJob *job = KIO::get(url, true, false);
connect( job, SIGNAL(result(KIO::Job*)),
this, SLOT(transferResult(KIO::Job*)) );
void FooClass::transferResult(KIO::Job *job)
QString mimetype;
if (job->error())
else {
KIO::TransferJob *transferJob = (KIO::TransferJob*) job;
QString modified = transferJob->queryMetaData("modified");
cout << "Last modified: " << modified << endl;
When using the KIO API, you usually do not have to cope with the details of starting IO slaves and communicating with them. The normal use case is to start a job and with some parameters and handle the signals the jobs emits.
Behind the curtains, the scenario is a lot more complicated. When you create a job, it is put in a queue. When the application goes back to the event loop, KIO allocates slave processes for the jobs in the queue. For the first jobs started, this is trivial: an IO slave for the appropriate protocol is started. However, after the job (like a download from an http server) has finished, it is not immediately killed. Instead, it is put in a pool of idle slaves and killed after a certain time of inactivity (current 3 minutes). If a new request for the same protocol and host arrives, the slave is reused. The obvious advantage is that for a series of jobs for the same host, the cost for creating new processes and possibly going through an authentication handshake is saved.
Of course, reusing is only possible when the existing slave has already finished its previous job. when a new request arrives while an existing slave process is still running, a new process must be started and used. In the API usage in the examples above, there are no limitation for creating new slave processes: if you start a consecutive series of downloads for 20 different files, then KIO will start 20 slave processes. This scheme of assigning slaves to jobs is called direct. It not always the most appropriate scheme, as it may need much memory and put a high load on both the client and server machines.
So there is a different way. You can schedule jobs. If you do this, only a limited number (currently 3) of slave processes for a protocol will be created. If you create more jobs than that, they are put in a queue and are processed when a slave process becomes idle. This is done as follows:
KURL url("http://www.kde.org");
KIO::TransferJob *job = KIO::get(url, true, false);
A third possibility is connection oriented. For example, for the IMAP slave, it does not make any sense to start multiple processes for the same server. Only one IMAP connection at a time should be enforced. In this case, the application must explicitly deal with the notion of a slave. It has to allocate a slave for a certain connection and then assign all jobs which should go through the same connection to the same slave. This can again be easily achieved by using the KIO::Scheduler:
KURL baseUrl("imap://firstname.lastname@example.com");
KIO::Slave *slave = KIO::Scheduler::getConnectedSlave(baseUrl);
KIO::TransferJob *job1 = KIO::get(KURL(baseUrl, "/INBOX;UID=79374"));
KIO::Scheduler::assignJobToSlave(slave, job1);
KIO::TransferJob *job2 = KIO::get(KURL(baseUrl, "/INBOX;UID=86793"));
KIO::Scheduler::assignJobToSlave(slave, job2);
You may only disconnect the slave after all jobs assigned to it are guaranted to be finished.
In the following we discuss how you can add a new ioslave to the system. In analogy to services, new ioslaves are advertised to the system by installing a little configuration file. The following Makefile.am snippet installs the ftp protocol:
protocoldir = $(kde_servicesdir) protocol_DATA = ftp.protocol EXTRA_DIST = $(mime_DATA)
The contents of the file ftp.protocol is as follows:
[Protocol] exec=kio_ftp protocol=ftp input=none output=filesystem listing=Name,Type,Size,Date,Access,Owner,Group,Link, reading=true writing=true makedir=true deleting=true Icon=ftp
The "protocol" entry defines for which protocol this slave is responsible. "exec" is (in contrast what you would expect naively) the name of the library that implements the slave. When the slave is supposed to start, the "kdeinit" executable is started which in turn loads this library into its address space. So in practice, you can think of the running slave as a separate process although it is implemented as library. The advantage of this mechanism is that it saves a lot of memory and reduces the time needed by the runtime linker.
The "input" and "output" lines are not used currently.
The remaining lines in the .protocol file define which abilities the slave has. In general, the features a slave must implement are much simpler than the features the KIO API provides for the application. The reason for this is that complex jobs are scheduled to a couple of subjobs. For example, in order to list a directory recursively, one job will be started for the toplevel directory. Then for each subdirectory reported back, new subjobs are started. A scheduler in KIO makes sure that not too many jobs are active at the same time. Similarly, in order to copy a file within a protocol that does not support copying directly (like the ftp: protocol), KIO can read the source file and then write the data to the destination file. For this to work, the .protocol must advertise the actions its slave supports.
Since slaves are loaded as shared libraries, but constitute standalone programs, their code framework looks a bit different from normal shared library plugins. The function which is called to start the slave is called kdemain(). This function does some initializations and then goes into an event loop and waits for requests by the application using it. This looks as follows:
extern "C" { int kdemain(int argc, char **argv); }
int kdemain(int argc, char **argv)
KInstance instance("kio_ftp");
(void) KGlobal::locale();
if (argc != 4) {
fprintf(stderr, "Usage: kio_ftp protocol "
"domain-socket1 domain-socket2\n");
FtpSlave slave(argv[2], argv[3]);
return 0;
Slaves are implemented as subclasses of KIO::SlaveBase (FtpSlave in the above example). Thus, the actions listed in the .protocol correspond to certain virtual functions in KIO::SlaveBase the slave implementation must reimplement. Here is a list of possible actions and the corresponding virtual functions:
Additionally, there are reimplementable functions not listed in the .protocol file. For these operations, KIO automatically determines whether they are supported or not (i.e. the default implementation returns an error).
All these implementation should end with one of two calls: If the operation was successful, they should call finished(). If an error has occured, error() should be called with an error code as first argument and a string in the second. Possible error codes are listed as enum KIO::Error. The second argument is usually the URL in question. It is used e.g. in KIO::Job::showErrorDialog() in order to parametrize the human-readable error message.
For slaves that correspond to network protocols, it might be interesting to reimplement the method SlaveBase::setHost(). This is called to tell the slave process about the host and port, and the user name and password to log in. In general, meta data set by the application can be queried by SlaveBase::metaData(). You can check for the existence of meta data of a certain key with SlaveBase::hasMetaData().
Various actions implemented in a slave need some way to communicate data back to the application using the slave process:
Sometimes a slave has to interact with the user. Examples include informational messages, authentication dialogs and confirmation dialogs when a file is about to be overwritten.

Ronald Duncan wrote poetry from a young age but his first literary publication in 1940 was a book of three plays: The Dull Ass's Hoof. His first poems Postcards to Pulcinella (1941) encouraged his promotion by T. S. Eliot. From the 1950s his poetry and plays were published by Faber & Faber.
In 1937 Ezra Pound had encouraged Duncan to set up a modernist arts magazine Townsman (1938-1945) which later became The Scythe a title that signalled Duncan's growing interest in agriculture and husbandry. He wrote a popular first book on farming: Journal of a Husbandman (Faber 1944) while his passion for music and drama led to a collaboration with Britten: work on the libretto The Rape of Lucretia (1946). Duncan went on to write plays for the London stage and by 1956 he had become known as a dramatist equivalent to Christopher Fry as well as a founder of the English Stage Company which ran the Royal Court theatre in London...
This Way to the Tomb is an important post-war verse drama performed at the Mercury Theatre in 1945. It was followed by Duncan's adaptation of Cocteau's L'aigle à deux têtes as The Eagle has Two Heads (1946). Tallulah Bankhead and Marlon Brando appeared in the U.S. production. Stratton was published in 1950. Our Lady's Tumbler was performed in Salisbury Cathedral for the Festival of Britain in 1951. Don Juan was first performed in 1953 and The Death of Satan: a comedy in 1954. A joint production of the two latter plays was presented by the English Stage Company at the Royal Court Theatre in 1956 directed by George Devine. In 1962 there was controversy over the refusal of the Lord Chamberlain to permit public performance of The Catalyst Duncan's play about a ménage à trois.
The most significant poetry is The Solitudes (Faber, 1960). Gandhi's writings were a permanent interest with Duncan editing the Selected Writings in 1951.
During the 1960s Duncan the author continued to publish poetry, fiction and books about Devon. He also worked on his three autobiographies, all of them lively and controversial. All Men Are Islands (1964) covered his life to 1943; How to Make Enemies (1968) continued the story until the late 1950s. Obsessed (1977) mainly described his relationship with the actress Virginia Maskell. At the end of the decade he'd also managed to produce the film script for Girl on a Motorcycle (dir. Jack Cardiff, 1968), which starred Marianne Faithfull.
A long poem about science and human development: Man - was published in five parts between 1970 and 1975. A substantial Collected Poems appeared in 1982. The Collected Plays had appeared from Rupert Hart-Davis in 1971. Among them was the experimental work O—B—A—F—G: A Play in One Act for Stereophonic Sound (1964).
There were collections of short stories, a novel and a variety of late political works including a 1981 play entitled Lenin partly based on conversations with Armand Hammer who had known Lenin.
The final publication in Duncan's lifetime was the controversial Working with Britten (excerpt) which described their work together and a friendship that had begun in 1935. This was published by the Devon-based Rebel Press, in 1981.

First up, this just in (and no surprise, really): I was wrong. And happy to say so.
When the Middlebury women's lacrosse team lost to Tufts in the NESCAC quarterfinals, 13-12, a week ago Sunday, I assumed and wrote the 11-5 Panthers' season was over. But their strength of schedule — all five of their losses came to teams ranked in the top 17, and Middlebury has five top-19 wins — earned Coach Missy Foote's Panthers a berth in the NCAA Division III tournament.

MIDDLEBURY — The third annual Middlebury Arts Walk kicks off this Friday, May 13, with an initial emphasis on student art that will be found at more than 40 participating businesses.
The Middlebury Arts Walk, coordinated by the town's ArtsConnect Committee, is a program through which local artists' work is displayed at local stores on the second Friday of each month through October. On those designated Fridays between 5 and 7 p.m., downtown Middlebury will become a center for art that will include music, food and fun.
MIDDLEBURY — Kendra Weber Gratton was a toddler 45 years ago when she and her four brothers were first tucked into bed with her mom's story of "Flabby Rabbit," who enlists the help of "Squinty Squirrel" and other forest friends in protecting "Millie Robin's" four eggs.
Gratton and her siblings have since told that endearing tale of friendship to their own children.
Now the family will be able to share that story with an even wider audience — the general public.
MIDDLEBURY — Eight piles of hardwood logs stacked on the grounds of the Eddy Farm in Middlebury don't appear to be crucial parts of a lucrative farming operation.
But the logs are part of a three-year joint project of Cornell University and the University of Vermont that examines the viability of shiitake mushrooms as cash crops. They have been inoculated with shiitake spores, and, if all goes well, will begin fruiting next year.
SALISBURY — Alfred Hare, known as "Waboos" to the legions of Camp Keewaydin campers whom he befriended over the course of nine decades, died on May 3 at the Helen Porter Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center in Middlebury. He was 96.
BRISTOL — It hasn't been a typical spring for Mount Abraham Union High School baseball, which has won five Division II championships since 2001, including the 2010 title in dramatic, extra-inning fashion.
On Friday and Saturday, the Eagles dropped two home games, 7-5 to Colchester and 6-2 to Rice, respectively, and their record fell to 1-5.

BCG Treatment for Bladder Cancer
Dear OncoLink "Ask the Experts,"
I am presently being treated with a drug named BCG for bladder cancer. The drug is placed into the bladder once a week for six weeks. The instructions make the material seem contaminating. Why does this material need to be treated so carefully?
Thank you,
John Han-Chih Chang, MD and Kenneth Blank, MD, OncoLink Editorial Assistants, respond:
Dear TF,
Thank you for your interest and question.
BCG stands for Bacillus Calmette and Guerin. The therapy you have described is called intravesical (infusing into the urinary bladder) therapy. The "drug" is actually an attenuated strain of Mycobacterium bovis. These bacteria are relatives of the infectious agent known to cause tuberculosis. The fact that M. bovis is attenuated means that it is live bacteria, but not be able cause the infectious complications associated with tuberculosis. It is essentially a bacteria used to cause an immune/inflammatory reaction. In fact, BCG is used in many countries, other than the US, as a vaccine for tuberculosis.
BCG is usually utilized for early stage or superficial bladder cancers via the intravesical route. It is used after a transuretheral removal of the bladder tumors as an adjunct to the primary treatment, since recurrence rates can be from 30% to as high as 85% with transuretheral resection alone. Outside of BCG, other intravesical chemotherapy agents used in superficial bladder cancer are Thiotepa, Doxorubicin, and Mitomycin C.
Out of all the intravesical therapeutic agents, BCG appears to be the most promising in controlling this disease. The mechanism of action is not clearly understood. Intravesical BCG appears to promote a localized inflammatory reaction with histiocytic and leukocytic infiltration of the urinary bladder. This may promote an immune mediated cancer cell "killing." This remains purely speculative.
The side effects of treatment have been found to be local irritative symptoms, fever, pneumonitis, hepatitis, arthritis, arthralagias and skin rash. Thus, most of these complications of treatment are infectious/inflammatory due to the nature of the agent, but the lasting effects remain only temporarily. This may be why the instructions disclosed this to be a biohazard.
We hope this helps in the understanding of your treatment.

These Come From Trees has another copyleft experience!
The latest place it's shown up? Italy.
Luca emailed me asking if it was cool to use the logo and the tagline, and the general idea. I, of course, told him to go crazy, as long as he cited the original source.
Well, he has certainly taken it and run with it.
These Come From Trees stickers now add another language and distribution locale to its list, all the better for unintentional paper goods overconsumption the world over, eh?
Of course, I had to tell him in our email exchange that Venice's Marco Polo airport already has a couple TCFT stickers...sadly, not in Italian. He says he'll do his best to rectify that situation!

Scope of Office
Clerks of Court
The voters of the county elect the clerk of superior court for a four-year term. Clerks are paid by the state, with their salaries scaled in accordance with the population of their counties. As one would expect, the clerk is responsible for all clerical and record-keeping functions of the superior court and district court. However, the clerk also has numerous judicial functions: The clerk is judge of probate - that is, the clerk handles the probate of wills (proceedings to determine if a paper writing is a valid will) and the administration of estates of decedents, minors and incompetents. The clerk also hears a variety of special proceedings such as adoptions, incompetency determinations and partitions of land and is empowered to issue arrest and search warrants and to exercise the same powers as a magistrate with respect to taking pleas of guilty to minor littering, traffic, wildlife, boating, marine fisheries, alcoholic beverage, state park recreation and worthless-check offenses.
Each clerk has a number of assistants and deputies. The number of assistants and deputies that each clerk may employ varies from county to county depending on the volume of business. Assistant and deputy clerks are paid on a salary schedule fixed by the Administrative Office of the Courts based on education and years of service in the clerk's office; the maximum and minimum salaries within that scale are fixed by the General Assembly.

Overlord: Raising Hell is an RTS-like action/adventure title in the mold of Pikmin. Instead of using cute, little onion-spawns to help you put your spaceship back together, you'll be in control of a snarling bunch of goblins tasked with reestablishing your dark empire and dominion over the Abyss. The concept sounds quite entertaining, and for the most part it is. Unfortunately, a few technical issues hamper this PS3 title, and the simple challenges, while fun, don't manage to be particularly engaging.
Overlord originally released on the Xbox 360 to mixed reviews. Subsequently, the title was released for the PC - arguably the game's best outing. Overlord: Raising Hell encompasses all the material of the original 360 release, plus the additional downloadable content and several upgrades including new realms, a mini-map, legendary difficulty, local split-screen multiplayer, and Dolby 7.1 Surround Sound support. What the title doesn't improve upon is the sluggish multiplayer gameplay and the somewhat mediocre visuals. Even worse, the game's fraught with technical issues such as a glitch-filled framerate and lethargic load times. Still, the game has its moments of fun, snappy dialogue, and niche gameplay.
For those who've never played the original, Overlord: Raising Hell has the player reincarnate as a dark lord whose evil empire was destroyed during the last cycle of evil. As the Overlord, you will be in control of a horde of minions, a host of magical spells, powerful armaments, and a dark tower. The main gameplay mechanic deals with the size, make up, and experience of your beastly minions. The Overlord is more than competent to fight on his own (more on that later), but a true master of evil has others do the work for him. Consequently, the Overlord has four different types of minions that are more than eager to do his bidding.
Browns are your foot soldiers. They are good melee fighters and are quick to pick up and use implements of war. Reds are fiery archers. These little greeblies are inept at hand-to-hand combat, but they pack a long-ranged fireball attack and can absorb fire that stands in your path. Greens are stealthy assassins. They are nearly invisible to your foes and are incredibly lethal when attacking from behind. Finally, Blues can resurrect your other minions, swim in water, and do magical damage. Successful Overlords will have to strategically use the distinct properties of each minion in order to advance. Additionally, if you can keep minions around long enough, they will find weapons and buffs that will increase their experience and your power.
As you progress through the game, you will also be able to improve your spell casting by expanding your knowledge of the four magical domains (Fire, Domination, Shield, and Minion spells). These spells allow you to do direct damage to foes, slow and confuse the enemy, protect yourself and your minions, and strengthen and rile up your filthy horde. Magical might is the best demonstration of the Overlord's power. However, melee opportunities also abound.

It shouldn't come as a big surprise. On average, Americans are in poorer health and have shorter lifespans than the citizens of other affluent countries, including most Western European nations, Australia, Canada and Japan. Considering that close to 50 million people, almost 20 percent of the population, are without health insurance and many more with only limited access to medical services, a decline in public health would seem inevitable. Still, the findings of a recent study by the U.S. government are quite shocking.
According to the Institute of Medicine (IOM), America currently ranks at or near the bottom among the 17 richest nations in the world in terms of life expectancy and chronic diseases like heart disease, lung disease, obesity and diabetes as well as injuries and death from violence and sexually transmitted diseases.
What's even more disturbing is that these statistics not only apply to the poor and the elderly, as experts long expected, but across all demographics, including young adults and those who can afford health care coverage.
"We are struck by the gravity of these findings," said Dr. Steven Woolf, professor of medicine at Virginia Commonwealth University and chairman of an expert panel that was tasked with the study. "What concerns [us] is why, for decades, we have been slipping behind."
Even first generation immigrants coming to the U.S. show negative health effects within a relatively short time due to diet and lifestyle changes. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), obesity rates among immigrants roughly equal those of U.S.-born adults within 10 to 15 years after taking up residence here. One study found that migrants from comparatively poor countries like Mexico or Guatemala are especially prone to develop diseases like obesity, diabetes and heart problems because of dietary changes.
"If you go with the flow in America today, you will end up overweight or obese, as two-thirds of all adults do," said Dr. Thomas Frieden, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in an interview with USA TODAY. "Obesity is one of the few things that has gotten worse quickly. It really is a very serious health problem," he added.
The obesity epidemic is also one of the main reasons why it is so hard to get health care costs under control in this country. It costs $1,400 more per year to treat an obese patient compared to someone who is normal-weight and $6,600 more to treat a diabetic, said Dr. Frieden.
What changed in the U.S. more profoundly than in other countries – although similar trends are now emerging worldwide – is a dramatic shift in our eating habits. We eat more conveniently prepared but highly processed foods and enjoy fewer healthy meals made from scratch. Our portion sizes have gone through the roof. We also have become more sedentary due to progressive automation in the workplace, longer commutes and lack of safe outlets for physical activity.
"What has happened is that the structure of our society has changed in ways that make it difficult to maintain a healthy weight," said Dr. Frieden. It's a fertile ground for the diseases we now see on an epidemic scale.
Obviously, there is not one solution that could undo all of these regrettable developments. Multiple measures will have to be put in place and made to work together. Personal responsibility is certainly part of the equation, but so are numerous other components such as better health and nutrition education for the public, further improvements to school lunch programs, reintroduction of mandatory physical education (PE), more effective safety and disclosure regulations of agricultural and food manufacturing industries, to name just a few.
The current deterioration of our public health is not irreversible. On the contrary. Most of our ailments are self-inflicted and therefore in our control if we only muster the will to address them in meaningful ways.

Post subject: Download Available?
I've been 'distantly connected' with this project for the past few years. Basically I've kept up with the progress and have read any bit of news since a website was available as well as the occasional email updates from Tone. I tried my hand with Rhino but quickly realised it was a bit over my head, so I focused on PHP and database design...go figure.
Anyhow, glad to see the evolution from modeling ships to development of a PC game. With that said, do you have an executable available for download Tone? Just interesting in checking it out.

Hi, Radius... good to hear from you.
My sim is difficult to work -- so much so that I finally decided to show videos of it in use rather than force people to work on an often-updated Java applet.
You are welcome to try your hand at it, however.
1. this only works on Windows with a recent version of DirectX (say, >=7), a recent version of internet explorer, and a 3D accelerator card
2. Install the "Wildtangent Web Driver plug-in" from
-- I suggest you NOT install the "Game Channel" accessory
3. If you do not yet have it, install Sun's Java JVM (I think I require v1.4.2 or later) via
4. reboot your system
5. Using Internet Explorer, go to (URL removed... as the applet is now offline for good)
You'll read a page or so and get to a button which will permit you to launch the applet (disable pop-up killers for my site before doing so -- I have no ads).
The instructions are iffy, and will not be sufficient to do very much in the world, but if you get to where you can walk the deck of the destroyer, by all means email me and I'll take you further!
As I type this, I resolve to go and touch up the instructions on the first few pages, just in case others follow you down this path.

Glad to hear there is a runable to download. :D I will try when I can upgrade my lab computer's graphics card. :cry:
I am a programmer in some definition. Just wonder why you choose Java as the platform. Personal I think Java is too slow to run.

Java was the easiest to get started with, and I entertained the idea of running small portions of the sim in the browser window itself. Just looking at the frameworks of unreadable code required to make a C++ app run on Windows makes me want to selll my computer and take up animal husbandry.
If I keep my code in Java, I will probably move it to jME. If I move to C++, I'll probably use Torque Game Engine or license an engine used in an existing naval sim.

i think you are right. java is easy, those clumsy MFC frameworks does not save me from anything but always keep me thinking why the hell they made it that way. a good code is the the easiest one that runs.

Hi dust... your trouble, sadly, is not surprising. :(
Your permissions would have to be sufficiently lax to allow the Wildtangent activeX plug-in to function, and to permit (say) medium security on the Java applet.
The reboot I wrote about in the steps to follow may be necessary. Sometimes, the best way to get it working is first to try running a game from the wildtangent.com site -- the games there are goofy, but often feature better "first run" logic to shake in and verify the installation of the visualizer than my framework manages.
I have often found, in installing on a new machine that my applet does not work before I first run a Wildtangent game written by a more commercially-minded developer.
Let me know if you have trouble from here, and thanks for the vote of confidence in installing and running IE for the first time in many years.

I tried to access the willy.resounding.com/wtf site (as per your post 29 Oct 04) without success. Has this site been moved/ blocked, or is it just me?
What I'm after, of course is a way to generate movies that would be compatible with your project. And I it would be very helpful to have a good tutorial!

Oh gee... I have not had it up for download in awhile. It was ABUSIVELY hard to get working on a new machine. I'll look to see where there is even a mention of that any more.
I was still unable to email you -- the address on the profile was unchanged. Can you try updating it again? Or email me as tone through dreadnoughtproject.org

Post subject: actual download available
hi guys ... im visiting this site for some weekends now and i'm really fascinated ...
it's a great idea to simulate this time ... i'm so "happy" :) a also started to learn some 3d modelling these days ... with a rhino demo version ... not really cool ... still got many probs ... thousands of probs ... doesnt matter ...
my question is: is there anywhere an actual download link for this project??? i cant wait to try this thing out ... and i might have many more ideas
especially things about navigation an so on but first i have to "play"/experience this on my own ... to see if i can help on maybe
again: where is an actual download link ;)
ps sry for all the mistakes in this and all my next posts ... im from germany and my last english lessons are some time ago :D

Hi OnkelWou (Uncle Wou, maybe?) your English is fine.
It has been 18 months or so since I encouraged anyone to download and try the simulation themselves, as it was so difficult to make it work on some computers. I hope that some day I will again have the old prototype working and easier for others to use.
I wonder where you live in Germany, and if you'd be willing to help us do research on German fire control systems, guns, shells, and signaling. I understand Freiburg has the largest military archive, but I have not yet found someone to explore it for me.
If you have any questions about Rhino, please make a separate post -- there are 3-5 pretty good Rhino users on the board.

When Taproot Theatre launches its 35th Anniversary Season next week with The Odyssey, Phinney Ridge resident Mark Chamberlin takes the stage as Odysseus.
From a Victorian miser on a journey of the soul to an ancient warrior on an odyssey of epic proportions, Chamberlin has played it all. Fresh out of his role of Ebenezer Scrooge in ACT's A Christmas Carol, he joins the cast of The Odyssey—a mythic tale of epic proportions re-told by playwright Mary Zimmerman with her trademark humor, witty twists and imagination. Homer's ancient Greek epic comes alive in this production—with 13 actors portraying over 85 characters—with mythological monsters, gods and adventurers and one of the most enduring stories in history.
Coming straight from A Christmas Carol, Mark had just one week before rehearsals began for The Odyssey. When asked what it was like switching gears from Scrooge to Odysseus, Mark had this to say.
"I've played Scrooge before, so the basics were in place. With The Odyssey I have the opportunity to invent from the ground floor."
Models of Odysseus have been played by numerous actors over the years, from George Clooney in O Brother, Where Art Thou to Kirk Douglas in Ulysses.
"Great characters like Odysseus offer such a huge range of opportunities for any actor," Mark said, when asked what it was like to step into this role. "Maybe that's why we never agree on a definitive interpretation."

Nicholas Beach (Hermes) and Nikki Visel (Athena).

In addition to roles on various Seattle stages, Mark has appeared on Broadway and in a number of film and television projects. In addition, he is the president of the ALS Association Evergreen Chapter's board of directors, and also serves on the boards of the UW School of Drama and New Century Theatre Company.
The Odyssey—an adaptation based on Robert Fitzgerald's translation of Homer's poem, and directed by producing artistic director Scott Nolte—kicks off the 2011 season with an opening night on February 4. The production runs through March 5, with previews on February 2 and 3. For more information or to buy tickets, visit www.taproottheatre.org.

Hurricane Sandy damages war-court compound, cancels hearings
Hurricane Sandy swept through this remote base before dawn Thursday, ripping boats from their berths, cutting power to all but emergency facilities and shutting down the Pentagon's war crimes tribunal.
Residents were confined to their quarters until lunchtime, once power was restored after a night of cascading blackouts.
The Naval Hospital compound was visibly lit throughout the night even as the rest of the base was dark, notably the Windward portion of the 17.4-mile fence line opposite Cuban-controlled territory.
Navy police and power workers were the only people seen on the streets of this 45-square-mile base in southeast Cuba throughout the morning. Schools were closed.
Signs of the damage of the Category 2 hurricane could be seen across the war-court compound.
It shredded a tent that houses the media and tore camouflage netting off fences that obscure from the public the way captives are moved to and from court. The storm also exposed a hidden federally approved cell meant to house convicts who could someday be brought here to testify at the war crimes tribunal.
Nobody was injured, said base spokeswoman Kelly Wirfel, adding the base hospital never lost power throughout the storm. She declined to comment on what, if anything, went wrong at the usually brightly lit line of demarcation, where U.S. Marines stand watch with lights and security cameras opposite a Cuban military minefield.
"In keeping with base security policy and protocol, our office will refrain from discussing the fence line and all associated matters," Wirfel said.
The seafront detention center, where 166 foreign men are confined as war on terror prisoners, suffered "nuisance damage" — debris strewn around the compounds and pooling water, said Navy Capt. Robert Durand. No detainees or their guards were harmed.
Court sessions in the USS Cole terror case were canceled for the rest of the week and military commission participants were departing the base as previously scheduled on Friday morning. The court is expected to next convene in December, presumably time enough to repair the facility.
The Pentagon built the compound of tents, trailers and an eavesdropping-proof courthouse on an abandoned airstrip overlooking Guantánamo Bay for the Sept. 11 and Cole case war crimes tribunals. Both are death-penalty trials.
Hurricane Sandy also cut some telephone and Internet service at the base, along with the electricity. Workers were still assessing the scattered damage across the base late Thursday morning, Wirfel said.
The storm washed away a pier and several pontoon and sailboats at a recreational marina behind guest housing. It downed trees and power lines, swept away cabanas at Windmill Beach that were designated for destruction, shredded the roof on a Navy base hobby center and damaged a fire department building.
"There is quite a bit of damage but no injuries, thankfully," Wirfel said, adding no dollar estimate would be available before next week.
This week's was the second round of military commissions hearings cut short this hurricane season. In August, the Pentagon canceled hearings in the Sept. 11 case and evacuated 177 people back to Washington, ahead of Tropical Storm Isaac, which left virtually no damage.

Thousands get clean water in South Sudan
Before the development of a new water reservoir in the El Ganaya district of South Sudan, members of the Turab family, often the women, had to trek four hours just to collect enough water to survive.
Some 40 percent of people living in the state do not have access to groundwater through wells or boreholes. They rely on rain water and its run-off between June and December, but for the rest of the year, they must find alternative water sources, sometimes by walking very long distances.
- A new reservoir has improved water access for over 10,000 South Sudanese, reducing the trip to collect water from four hours to 20 minutes.
- Reliable water access provides more time for farming and schooling, and has reduced tensions and competition over water supplies.
- The reservoir is part of a recovery and rehabilitation programme managed jointly by UNDP and the Government of South Sudan.
Today, though, more than 10,000 people in South Sudan have improved access to clean water thanks to a new reservoir built as part of an initiative managed by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
For the Turab family, the four hour trek to collect water has been reduced to 20 minutes.
"A reliable water resource close to our village means our children will spend less time collecting water and have more time for school," says Salim Turab, head of the water committee overseeing the reservoir.
"Now villagers won't have to go in search of water and they will have more time to prepare their land for the next crop".
The Turab family's livelihood depends on the sorghum crop they grow on their 10 acres of land. From a good harvest the family accumulates enough food for a year, with a small surplus that can be sold for cash.
UNDP works with Least Developed Countries (LDCs) to achieve sustainable human development focused on inclusive growth in order to alleviate poverty and reduce vulnerability to shocks, such as natural disasters and conflict.
The El Ganaya district, where the recently completed reservoir, storage tank and treatment station lie, was hard hit during the north-south civil war from 1983 to 2005. By providing a dependable water flow for area residents and their livestock, the new water infrastructure helps to alleviate local tensions and competition over a previously scarce resource.
The water reservoir is the first of its kind in South Sudan and is part of a recovery and rehabilitation programme managed by UNDP on behalf of the country's Government of National Unity and the Government of South Sudan, funded largely by the European Commission.
Other partners include a consortium of non-governmental organizations including Save the Children Sweden, Danish Church Aid, the Nuba Relief Rehabilitation and Development Organisation, and the Roman Catholic Diocese of El Obeid.

This article is from the archive of our partner .
The IRS' office of Exempt Organizations sounds like a terrible place to work. Piling on to the critical report from a Treasury Inspector General, at least four sweeping media assessments this weekend show a department that is overwhelmed, underfunded, and poorly managed.
The New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Washington Post, and ProPublica all researched the evolution of the small group of Cincinnati-based employees that unethically (and perhaps illegally) isolated the tax-exempt applications of Tea Party groups for additional scrutiny. What they found doesn't appear to be the image of big government run amuck, as charged by Senator Mike Lee earlier this week; instead, it's an organization trying to do politically tricky work while it struggled to cut costs — and failing.
The scandal unfolded in four parts.
Part 1: Tax-exempt work is moved to Cincinnati to save money.
The ProPublica story provides the best explanation for why the group was located in Cincinnati at all.
The city had a history of being able to hire people at low federal grades, which in 1995 paid between $19,704 and $38,814 a year — almost the same as those federal grades paid in New York City or Chicago. (Adjusted for inflation, that's between $30,064 and $59,222 now.) …
So in 1995, the Exempt Organizations division started to centralize. Instead of field offices evaluating applications for nonprofits in each region, those applications would all be sent to one mailing address, a post-office box in Covington, Ky. Then a central office in Cincinnati would review all the applications.
Nor did the IRS splurge on a fancy office for the team. The Post describes a fourth-floor office with an "open, L-shaped layout of small, plain cubicles. (Office norms discourage the decoration of cubicle walls.)" The Times also reports that the group was the least popular assignment in an unpleasant place.
Inside the agency, the unit was considered particularly unglamorous. "Nobody wants to be a determination agent," said Jack Reilly, a former lawyer in the Washington office that oversaw exempt organizations. "It's a job that just about everybody would be anxious to get out of it."
Part 2: Tax-exempt applications increase, while resources to deal with applications keep shrinking.
By 2010, when the group began flagging applications that included the words "Tea Party," the group was only a tiny part of the massive IRS tasked with a big job. The Post:
Nationwide, about 900 of the IRS's nearly 100,000 employees deal with tax-exempt organizations. Cincinnati's determinations unit handled about 61,000 applications last year. In recent years, office culture in Cincinnati has been defined by constant reorganization to offset a voluminous workload: Regulations in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 triggered a wave of reapplications, and between 2009 and 2012, the annual number of 501(c)(4) aspirants nearly doubled, to 3,357. Many had a political tinge that complicated the determinations process.
The Times points out that the change in tax code that threatened the existence of hundred of thousands of groups, spurred "tens of thousands" to reapply. This is a key point: these employees handled every applicant for tax exempt status, and applicants for 501(c)(3) status, which results in the ability to accept tax-exempt donations, comprised a larger, more sensitive pool.
At the same time that the office was being flooded, both a key training tool — a series of explanatory articles called Continuing Professional Education — and a spot-check of performance had already ended, in an effort to be more "efficient." ProPublica:
In 2003, the saturation reviews and post reviews ended, and the public list of criteria that would get an application referred to headquarters disappeared, Owens said. Instead, agents in Cincinnati could ask to have cases reviewed, if they wanted. But they didn't very often. … By the end of 2004, the Continuing Professional Education articles stopped.
The Treasury Inspector General's reported detailed one consequence of the lack of training for staff. For a period of about a year, all processing of questionable applications stopped while the group waited for a determination of what levels of political advocacy were permitted for (c)(4) applicants. That's the sort of training that the CPE articles were meant to provide.
In the end, the easiest thing to do was approve them all. ProPublica notes that, of 24,196 501(c)(4) applications between 1998 and 2009, 77 were denied. Until someone decided to start paying closer attention.
Part 3: An employee starts streamlining applications.
The Times notes that the process began in 2010 with a single person.
For months, the Tea Party cases sat on the desk of a lone specialist, who used "political sounding" criteria — words like "patriots," "we the people" — as a way to search efficiently through the flood of applications for groups that might not qualify for exemptions, according to the I.R.S. inspector general. "Triage," the agency's acting chief described it.
The Los Angeles Times agrees, blaming "one specialist."
The crux of the investigation by Congress and the administration will be why that employee started to flag those applications — and why, as the inspector general notes, it soon became an office-wide practice. Was it an attempt to streamline the workflow? Or was it politically motivated behavior meant to target Tea Party groups? So far, it appears to be the former; the Los Angeles Times points out that "[n]o evidence yet suggests that the IRS agents in Cincinnati had a political agenda." The Times spoke with a former IRS supervisor, who said that "[t]he specialists, hunched over laptops on the office's fourth floor, rarely discussed politics."
Part 4: Management in Washington is slow to catch and correct the mistake.
It wan't until July 2011 that Lois Lerner, the group's Washington-based director, learned of the problem. As The Times and the inspector general's report indicate, management revised the criteria triggering closer inspection of applications. But:
… a midlevel official in Washington temporarily overseeing the Cincinnati office told a supervisor there that the guidance was "too lawyerly." The guidelines were revised several times, as new specialists and lawyers joined the effort.
By January 2012, employees in Cincinnati, apparently without consulting senior officials, chose new keywords, including "educating on the Constitution" and "social economic reform/movement." That month, the specialists in Cincinnati and elsewhere began sending out increasingly exhaustive, sometimes intrusive questionnaires.
By the time Lerner curtails the practice, it's too late. The questionnaires are for many groups the first time they've heard about their applications in months. It triggers blowback from conservative organizations which ultimately and indirectly prompts the inspector general's report. For months, upper-level managers obscure the problem — including in testimony before Congress — until Lerner spoke at a conference two weeks ago, shortly before the inspector general's report was released.

IWRG (SUN) 11/11/2012 Arena Naucalpan [IWRG, The Gladiatores]
1) Araña de Plata & Epidemia b Dragón Celestial & Serpiente de Oro
Serpiente de Oro turned on his partner.
2) Alan Extreme & Eita b Cerebro Negro & Dinamic Black and Dr. Cerebro & Relámpago and Carta Brava Jr. & Golden Magic [seeding battle royal, WWS WELTER]
Canis Lupus was originally listed in the tournament, but replaced by Eita. Eita was making his return from Japan. Usual seeding battle royal – no actual teams, but duos bunched together after elimination.
3) Carta Brava Jr. b Golden Magic [WWS WELTER, quarterfinal]
4) Dr. Cerebro b Relámpago [WWS WELTER, quarterfinal]
5) Cerebro Negro b Dinamic Black [WWS WELTER, quarterfinal]
6) Eita b Alan Extreme [WWS WELTER, quarterfinal]
7) Dr. Cerebro b Carta Brava Jr. [WWS WELTER, semifinal]
Dr. Cerbero beat Carta Brava Jr. with a Cerebrina.
8) Cerebro Negro b Eita [WWS WELTER, semifinal]
Cerbero Negro won with a back suplex.
9) Cerebro Negro b Dr. Cerebro [WWS WELTER, final]
Cerbero Negro gave Dr. Cerbero his own Cerebina, Dr. Cerbero appeared to kick out, the referee counted three again. Fans were unhappy and wanted a rematch.
10) Canis Lupus, Oficial AK47, Oficial Fierro b La Cobra, Trauma II, Veneno
Canis Lupus moved up to this match, replacing Hijo del Solitario (who did no-showed the previous Sunday's show.) It's the character's first match in months, and The Gladitores says it's a new one. Fierro replaced Toxico. Rudos won, taking falls 1/3.11) Bestia 666, Damián 666, Oficial 911 b el Ángel, Pantera, Trauma I
Originally announced as an atomicos, proceeded without Factor & Hijo de Pirata. Rudos took 1/3. 911 and Angel feuded heavily, 911 pinning Angel with a Styles Clash for the win. Angel & 911 agreed to a deal – Angel will give 911 a shot at his Middleweight title, but 911 must agree to a mask vs mask should he lose.
(results corrected at 11pm)
Show will, cross your fingers, air tonight on AYM Sports.
Looks like this is the beginning of a new Cerebro/Cerebro story. Which makes up for the Angel one which didn't go anywhere. (Maybe Elisa will get to the bottom of it!) 911 vs Angel sounds fun too, and Canis vs Cobra has potential to be a quicky mask match.

hello, im new to LISP (and this forum).
Firstly, I must apologise for the subject text. It is hardly an endearing opening likely to garner support.
However, I do stand by it in some senses. I apologise too for choosing to not include some examples to back up my statement below.
As a new to the LISP world with fresh unbiased eyes...I see it like this: LISP has many flavours and that doesn't help and to make matters worse, [some of] the libraries of modules/apps/etc that are available only work with the certain flavours (or are tested to work with) and not others and then....well there are a few other things.
This makes the whole thing a bit of a bind. Of course one could pick a flavour and redevelop/resolve the stuff one requires (perhaps using a base of code from some of the hard work already gone in elsewhere) to work with one's chosen flavour if it is causing issues, but that defeats the object of shared open libraries of hard work and skilfull effort already gone in.
It is a shame as LISP comes across to me as intriguing - I've know about it, seen it rarely, never experienced it until delving in of late.
What would be great - as with the effort of 'common lisp' to bring some order to the previous - would be if there were not many flavours, but one and libraries were working with the one LISP...as in LISP is LISP is LISP.....when at the moment it is not.
I dont find this happens much (in fact at all) with other languages/environments I have encountered.
Still, I am very intrigued by LISP for some reason..should have got involved years ago.
Perhaps I am being too harsh....but it may be another reason why the perception of LISP (at least that I have read from critiques) is as it is in some areas...care about that or not
Cheers. I bat on.

Time, dear friends, is ticking away; it feels like only yesterday that DiS was chomping on Easter Eggs, but Christmas is only days away. Terrifying, isn't it? Us we-haven't-shopped-yet sorts certainly think so.
But November, it's not forgotten: bands released records during the month best known for some old and very dead dude's attempt to blow up parliament. What would have happened if he'd succeeded? Would we still blast small-scale missiles skywards and revel in their sparkly destruction? Probably. People do so enjoy blowing things up, after all. But those records: there were some, some good ones, and here are some of those some.
So read about them, and stick them on your Christmas list. If you've been a good boy or girl this year, maybe Santa'll empty his bulging sack into your ears…
Alexander Tucker
Furrowed Brow
ATP Recordings
"Best consumed whole – splitting proceedings into seven, for that is the number of tracks here, disregards the neat ebb and flow of the record; it overlooks the cohesion that makes the passage from A to Z so rewarding – Furrowed Brow is without a doubt Tucker's most accomplished foray into the recorded sphere of everything musical, a great improvement upon his Old Fog collection of 2005. The listener will wade through sludgy swamp water, glide across still and sparkling seas and be tumbled against their will from the tallest of cascades – every pause-punctuated juncture of the journey finds the magnetic compass misfiring wildly, sending the wanderer into uncharted territories."

Future Love Songs
Angular Records
"There are, to say the least, a fair few doses of mix 'n' match unexpectedness in here… Tthis is a rather fantastic compilation and that you ought to go and buy it, as it will introduce you to some stuff that you might rather like. And then you can go and buy more stuff by the band that made that stuff, and good stuff will therefore abound. Oh, and for the purposes of this review, the tracks of no particular interest don't exist. You should try this approach to life sometime. It's very liberating."

Killswitch Engage
As Daylight Dies
"Ninety per cent of every new fad of a genre can be dismissed as a bunch of bands that nobody will care about in five years, so it's easy to make the case that nobody should care about them now. There are some interesting exceptions that somehow gain credibility as time goes on, and there are the ones that everyone always knew, or at least hoped, would always make the grade. With metalcore, there is one band that stands head and shoulders above the rest. They go by the name of Killswitch Engage…"

Rough Trade
"To a relative cynic of the genre (no, I don't have a secret Menswe@r fetish) it surprised me just how much I enjoyed Jarvis, Cocker's first solo record. I didn't expect to be able to stomach that famous personality over an entire 40-odd minutes, having only dipped in tentatively on previous occasions. I needn't have worried, since there is nothing grating about this album's widescreen pop vision. Those who came across cheeky pre-release goody 'Running The World' will have noted that Cocker has not entirely abandoned his working class righteousness, and yet its expulsion to hidden track territory is significant as it doesn't sit well with the mature feel of the remaining tracks."

Blood Brothers
Young Machetes
"To some long-termers Young Machetes will be received in a similar manner to its older sibling Crimes; that album, too, incorporated keyboard melodies and solidified compositional structures within what was formerly a lot of noise at times. Crimes is unfairly regarded in some quarters as a regressive step for the band, a tumbling from a path best followed, but in fresh hindsight it was an essential release that enabled Blood Brothers to make Young Machetes. It's proved to be a vital stepping stone, a bridge between stylistic focuses. This is Crimes refined, sculpted so that its edges aren't as jagged as many sound-clashes past have proved to be; it exhibits managed eccentricity enough to stoke the furnaces of intelligent, demand-more punks worldwide."

Where The Killers Run
"Viarosa's debut album more than deserves this second bite of the CD shopper's cherry. Its original appearance eighteen months back inspired a hefty mound of wildly enthusiastic press reviews but somehow, whether it was distro' problems or a lack of widespread gigging, the band didn't manage to capitalise as they should have. Built around melodic violin, banjo, a resonating guitar and lyrics filled with images of times long past, visualised through a sometimes Cohen-, Cash- or Morphine-crafted vocal, places them as Americana. But that's a convenient tag that doesn't tell the whole story…"

The Long Blondes
Someone To Drive You Home
Rough Trade
"Of course, any minor gripes with this LP are completely forgotten when listening to the indescribable majesty of 'Giddy Stratospheres', the standout track of the album and, quite frankly, a standout pop song full stop. Sounding like the most vital thing you could hope to discover, it's fresh, with a nod to an indie era or two past, and seemingly executed with a wry smile and a pint of bitter in hand. Someone to Drive You Home is the sort of album that guitar-toting indie bands will be aiming at for a decent while now, but regardless of its influence, right here and now it's just an honest, forthright and accomplished LP."

Joanna Newsom
Drag City
"Ys is a truly special album that takes you gently by the hand and leads you through a distinctive magical landscape. Drift into it and you'll find your imagination dancing through wistful showers of falling leaves and kicking through tangles of knee-deep poppies, counting stars and wandering vast landscapes, lamenting a broken heart through abstract and taciturn poetry, or sinking back through the centuries to land gently back on your feet some time later…"

The Beatific Visions
Rough Trade
"Opening with the admittedly BSP-sounding (in places) 'Hold Me In The River', it soon becomes apparent that these guys all have a dream - the same dream - to be a part of some all-encompassing, genre-trespassing rock and roll quartet that sounds like a combination of all the best bits of the artists and songs they love without ever really mimicking anyone at all. So with that in mind, there are politics-addressing punk mash-ups ('Margherita'), countrified rock without any cheesy elements ('If I Should Die Tonight', 'On Your Side'), haunting ballads ('No Return', 'Isabel'), and even the conception of a new form of dance ('Spring Chicken')…"

Uzi & Ari
It Is Freezing Out
Own Records
"Tracks skirt around the edges of acts like Mogwai and The Postal Service – beats are supplemented by drones and twinkles direct from the outer reaches of the solar system – but the overall impression left by It Is Freezing Out is one previously associated with The Album Leaf. It's these echoes that characterise the album's latter stages – beginning buoyantly, it drifts into dreamscape territories with wonderful grace and assured compositional confidence. Shepard's never hurried: his songs are allowed to expand at a casual pace, with ne'er a too-spontaneous spark of inventiveness or awkward change of direction to be heard."
Read Mike Diver's full review here
The Ties That Bind Us
Box Records
"Put simply, there's something here for everyone no matter what part of the hymn sheet you choose to sing from, and more importantly The Ties That Bind Us could possibly be the most ambitious debut by a British male solo artist this year. As Bruce opines on the luscious 'What Are You Waiting For', "I hope you can see that we've made it." You are about to, mate. Trust me."

Goals early in third help Red Wings top Panthersby Alain Poupart
SUNRISE, Fla. -- With the 2014 Bridgestone NHL Winter Classic fast approaching, things appear to be turning around for the Detroit Red Wings.
Captain Henrik Zetterberg scored in his return to the lineup Saturday, forward Justin Abdelkader also returned, and the Red Wings finally found a way to solve the Florida Panthers.
Brendan Smith and Gustav Nyquist scored 38 seconds apart early in the third period to snap a 2-2 tie and the Red Wings held on for a 4-3 victory at BB&T Center.
The Red Wings, who won for the third time in four games after losing six in a row, have one more game, on the road against the Nashville Predators on Monday, before they face the Maple Leafs in the Winter Classic at Michigan Stadium on Wednesday.
"We won three out of four here suddenly and some things are better, obviously getting [Zetterberg] and [Abdelkader] back," Red Wings coach Mike Babcock said. "[Abdelkader] skated well tonight, and Zetterberg is just a good player with good will and provides leadership for us.
"We made some big mistakes. We gave them two goals with turnovers, kids making mistakes, but you learn from those things. We found a way to win a game and we're going to skate a lot better after another day's practice. Everyone had turkey legs at the start, but they got going."
Florida won the first two games of the season between the new Atlantic Division foes, 2-1 in overtime on Dec. 7 and 3-2 in a shootout three nights later. The Panthers came into the season with four victories in 23 games against the Red Wings.
The Panthers lost for the first time in four games against the teams featured in this season's HBO "24/7," the Red Wings and the Toronto Maple Leafs. Florida won 3-1 at Toronto on Dec. 17.
Zetterberg, playing for the first time since Dec. 1 after missing 11 games because of a back injury, and Daniel Alfredsson had power-play goals to give the Red Wings a 2-0 lead in the first period. Pavel Datsyuk had two assists, and Jonas Gustavsson made 30 saves.
Zetterberg finished with three shots and got 21:43 of ice time, the most of any Red Wings forward.
"It was fun to play," Zetterberg said. "I felt pretty good on my legs. I'll see how I feel in Nashville, but I'll take it one day at a time."
Zetterberg's return came in the same building where Datsyuk came back earlier this month after missing seven games because of a concussion.
"It's huge," Nyquist said of having Zetterberg back in the lineup. "Hank brings so much to this team, both on and off the ice. With him and [Pavel] playing, you can really feel the difference. That's why they're our leaders."
Sean Bergenheim had two goals and Nick Bjugstad also scored for the Panthers, who have lost three in a row following a season-long five-game winning streak.
"We showed a lot of battle," Bjugstad said. "It's tough getting down two goals against this team, very skilled team. We fought back and worked hard. Unfortunately, it didn't go the way we wanted it to."
Scott Clemmensen got the start in goal even though Tim Thomas was activated off injured reserve earlier in the week; Clemmensen finished with 27 saves.
Smith gave Detroit a 3-2 lead 42 seconds into the third period with his first goal of the season and his second in 78 NHL games.
After Clemmensen stopped Zetterberg on a partial breakaway, Detroit defenseman Kyle Quincey held a Florida clearing attempt at the blue line and fed Smith, who beat Clemmensen with a one-timer from the point.
Nyquist made it 4-2 at 1:20 after Clemmensen failed to cleanly handle Jakub Kindl's wrist shot from the point and Nyquist put home the rebound.
"When you give up two goals and they tie it in the second, you want to come out with a push in the third," Nyquist said. "We were in a great spot, 2-2 on the road, and had a chance to win a period and win a game. That's what we did."
Bergenheim cut the Detroit lead to 4-3 at 4:27 after he got a long rebound in the high slot and beat Gustavsson through the five-hole with a wrist shot.
Gustavsson preserved the victory with a pad save on Tomas Kopecky off a scrum in front of the net in the final 30 seconds.
"I think there were a couple of times where I thought that the puck was going in, but there was always something it hit," Bergenheim said. "We had belief all the way to the end. Even to the last faceoff, I thought we were going to do this."
Detroit took advantage of special teams to take the lead in the first period, converting on two of three power plays and killing three penalties. The Red Wings finished the game 2-for-5 on the power play; the Panthers were 1-for-6.
"Each team has three power plays in the first; it's a nightmare," Babcock said. "You're trying to play your whole bench and they won't let you. In the end, we had good special teams for us and it was positive."
Alfredsson opened the scoring at 3:47, 12 seconds after Florida's Dmitry Kulikov went to the penalty box for hooking. Alfredsson beat Clemmensen with a wrist shot from the top of the left circle through traffic.
Zetterberg made it 2-0 at 14:29 after Datsyuk stopped a Panthers clearing attempt at the blue line. Datsyuk then fired a cross-ice pass to Zetterberg near the right faceoff dot. He took his time before firing a wrist shot that beat Clemmensen high to the short side.
Bergenheim got Florida within 2-1 at 12:52 of the second period. Brian Campbell skated the puck into the Detroit zone and moved outside before flipping a saucer pass to Bergenheim, who beat Gustavsson with a quick backhand.
Bjugstad tied the score 2-2 at 14:59 with his second highlight-reel goal in the past two games against Detroit. He intercepted Tomas Jurco's pass across the Florida blue line and easily skated past Niklas Kronwall for a breakaway, then beat Gustavsson with a deke to his forehand.
"I got kind of lucky that puck landed right on my tape," Bjugstad said. "My eyes were real big when I was skating down the ice. It was good. I enjoy playing these guys, a good group of forwards, just a good group overall. We battled tonight."
Bjugstad scored the game-tying goal in the third period Dec. 10 after beating Datsyuk along the boards, skating to the front of the net and firing a quick shot under the crossbar.
On this night, though, the Red Wings had the final answer.
"It was nice after a little break here to come back and get a good start," Zetterberg said. "We got two points and we won."

The Rudd Government will deliver an historic boost to retirement savings to help prepare for an ageing population and ensure the Australian people get a fairer share of our mineral wealth.
Todays' announcements are the biggest reforms to superannuation since the introduction of compulsory superannuation in 1992 as part of our Stronger, Fairer Simpler: Tax Plan for our Future.
The Government's reforms will deliver substantial improvements in retirement savings and a fairer distribution of superannuation tax concessions, ensuring more Australians can enjoy a comfortable retirement.
The Stronger, Fairer, Simpler: Tax Plan for our Future superannuation reforms are:
A 12 per cent Superannuation Guarantee (SG) - commencing with a 0.25 increase in 2013-14 and 2014-15, followed by 0.5 increments until the SG reaches 12 per cent by 2019-20. The three year lead time recognises that employers and employees need to factor this into future wage negotiations.
A low income earners Government contribution - from 1 July 2012. The Government will provide a contribution of up to $500 annually into the superannuation account of workers on adjusted taxable incomes of up to $37,000. This will provide a reward for savings for low income earners by ensuring no tax is paid on SG contributions. The Government will also retain the co-contribution scheme.
Concessional superannuation contribution caps for those nearing retirement - from 1 July 2012. Workers aged 50 and over with superannuation balances below $500,000 will be able to make up to $50,000 in annual, concessional superannuation contributions. This measure is expected to benefit 275,000 people.
Raising the Superannuation Guarantee age limit from 70 to 75 - from 1 July 2013. The SG age limit will be raised to 75, which for the first time means workers aged 70 to 74 to be eligible to have SG contributions made on their behalf. Around 33,000 employees are expected to benefit from this measure.
These superannuation measures will cost around $2.4 billion over the next four years.
As a result of these reforms 8.4 million Australians will receive an increase in their retirement incomes, including 3.5 million Australians on lower incomes who do not receive tax incentives for saving through superannuation and older workers catching-up on their retirement savings.
An employee aged 30 today on average weekly earnings, will retire with an additional $108,000 in superannuation.
A female aged 30 today on average weekly earnings, with an interrupted work pattern, will retire with an additional $78,000 in superannuation.
The superannuation savings of 3.5 million Australians on lower incomes will be boosted by $830 million over the forward estimates.
Over the next 10 years, $85 billion will be added to Australia's pool of superannuation savings. A proportion of these savings will be channelled back into the Australian economy to fund jobs and nation-building infrastructure, ensuring our reliance on foreign funds is lower than it otherwise would be.
The measures the Government has outlined help address the challenges of an ageing population set out in the Intergenerational Report 2010 and also complement the Secure and Sustainable Pension changes made in the 2009-10 Budget.
The Government is determined to boost Australians' retirement savings so that whenever the mining boom ends, Australians have got something real and enduring to show for it. Our natural resources are finite, so we need to take action now to ensure we save some of the proceeds.
The Government will consult with industry on the implementation of these measures.
