- Parallel join pattern with guards and propagation extension built on top of multisetrewrite.
- Wed Nov 12 11:08:47 CET 2008:
New multisetrewrite-0.1.1 version uploaded to hackage
- Includes more examples, a CHRSolver.hs and Join.hs abstraction
built on top of multi-set rewrite
- Some fun examples using these abstractions: GossipingGirls and BaggerProblem.
Brief description
We provide a library for multi-set rewrite rules with guards. Rewrite rules are executed concurrently as long as they operate on non-overlapping left-hand sides. We make use of highly-concurrent, non-blocking data structures based on CAS lists. Thus, we can parallelize concurrent rule executions on a multi-core architecture.
The library is similar in style to the below described actor library. The difference is that while actors run concurrently, their receive clauses (sort of multi-set rewrite rules) are only executed sequentially.
The multisetrewrite library is implemented in Haskell and available
(look for the multisetrewrite library among the Concurrency packages)
The library comes with two examples (will hopefully increase over time).
Concurrent stack
The gist of the multi-set rewrite rules describing a concurrent stack (the actual example in Stack.hs is more verbose, after all it's 'only' a library and not
a new compiler).
[push x, pop y] .->. y := x
[push x, stack s] .->. stack (x:s)
[pop y, stack s] `when` (isNotEmptyStack s) .->. let (x:xs) = s
y := x
stack xs
push is synchronous whereas pop and stack are asynchronous. The above shows how to encode join-patterns via multisetrewrite. We are more expressive than join-patterns because we also support guards, non-linear (aka shared) variables (doesn't show up in the above).
CHR solver
On top of multisetrewrite we implement a CHR solver. See CHR.hs in the distribution.
To illustrate the expressive power, we implement the mergesort algorithm
via multi-set rewrite rules.
Here's the gist of the rules (as said above already, the actual implementation is more verbose).
Leq(x,a) \ Leq(x,b) when a < b <==> Leq(a,b)
Merge(n,a), Merge(n,b) when a < b <==> \Leq(a,b),\Merge(n+1,a)
Points to note:
- The right-hand side of the first rule uses a mix of propagation and simplification. Leq(x,a) is propagated (ie not removed) whereas Leq(x,b) is simplified.
- We make use of non-linear variables and guards in both rules.

(Alison Frankel writes the On the Case blog for Thomson Reuters
News & Insight http://newsandinsight.com. The views expressed
are her own.)
By Alison Frankel
NEW YORK, Dec 7 (Reuters) - On Tuesday, Judges Jose Cabranes
and Reena Raggi of the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ordered
that former Goldman Sachs director and McKinsey chief
Rajat Gupta remain free on bail while his lawyers try to get his
insider trading conviction overturned on appeal. That's an
unusual order from the appeals court, which typically defers to
the judgment of the trial court on post-conviction bail. In this
case, U.S. Senior District Judge Jed Rakoff, who oversaw the
insider trading trial in June, refused to grant Gupta's bail
The bar is quite high for the appeals court to permit a
convicted defendant to defer serving a prison term. When
Congress enacted the Bail Reform Act in 1984, its intention was
to make bail a rare exception for convicted defendants, not the
rule. The law said that post-conviction bail would only be
granted if the appeal "raises a substantial question of law or
fact likely to result in a reversal or an order for a new
trial." The 2nd Circuit clarified that standard in a 1985
decision called U.S. v. Randell, holding that defendants did not
have to show that their appeal was likely to result in a
reversal - a near impossible burden to meet - but that the
appeal involved issues of such importance that if the defense
prevailed, the conviction would likely be overturned. That's a
less formidable hurdle for convicted defendants, but it's still
tough enough that, according to former prosecutor Evan Barr of
Steptoe & Johnson, who has written about the topic,
post-conviction bail orders are "definitely not the norm."
The grant of bail to Gupta, Barr said, means that the
appeals court "has concluded that he has raised non-frivolous
issues." That's good news for Gupta, whose motion to stay
enforcement of his two-year prison term cited five potential
grounds for overturning his conviction.
The overall theme of the brief is that at trial, Rakoff
granted the government too much leeway to introduce hearsay
evidence and afforded too little latitude for Gupta's evidence.
At Tuesday's oral argument on the motion, Gupta's appellate
counsel, Seth Waxman, focused on Rakoff's admission of wiretap
evidence of a phone call between alleged Gupta tippee Raj
Rajaratnam and a Galleon Group employee named David Lau; and on
the exclusion of testimony from Gupta's daughter, who would have
told jurors that before the supposed tips were passed, her
father had said he believed Rajaratnam had swindled him out of
millions of dollars. Gupta's contention is that Rakoff
erroneously applied the co-conspirator exception in permitting
hearsay evidence from the wiretap call and had no basis for
keeping out the testimony of his daughter. According to Gupta's
brief, if the judge had ruled differently on either point (or
several others), he would not have been convicted.
The 2nd Circuit's bail grant indicates that, at the very
least, Cabranes and Raggi consider Gupta's arguments to be worth
considering. But does it mean more than that? Should we regard
the bail order as a preview of how the appellate court will
ultimately rule on Gupta's conviction?
Not necessarily. First of all, the two judges who heard
Gupta's bail motion (after a third judge, Susan Carney, recused
herself) are probably not the judges who will hear the merits of
his appeal, which will be assigned to a separate three-judge
panel. Rakoff, whose rulings Gupta has questioned, is generally
well regarded by the 2nd Circuit, where he often sits by
designation; in fact, Rakoff joined Raggi and Cabranes on an
appellate panel on Tuesday afternoon, after the 2nd Circuit
judges granted bail to Gupta. Proving Rakoff errors on the
merits won't be easy.
There's also a chance that the 2nd Circuit judges had the
length of Gupta's two-year sentence -- and not the merits of his
case -- uppermost in their minds when they granted bail.
Ac c ording to Barr of Steptoe, when defendants are sentenced to
relatively short prison terms, there's a concern that by the
time their appeal is resolved, they may have already served a
big chunk of their allotted years in prison. (There are other
reasons to appeal beside avoiding prison time, of course.
White-collar defendants like Gupta also want to avoid paying
fines, restitution and legal fees that would otherwise be borne
by employers.)
There's no guarantee, in other words, that bail presages
appellate exoneration. Several other high-profile white-collar
defendants who were granted bail during appeal saw their
convictions ultimately upheld. (I'm indebted to lawyers for
Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the since pardoned advisor to former vice
president Dick Cheney, who compiled a list of these defendants
in an unsuccessful 2007 bid for bail for Libby.) Martha Stewart
, Bernard Ebbers of WorldCom, Kirk Shelton of Cendant
and John and Timothy Rigas of Adelphia were all permitted to
remain free on bail while they appealed their convictions,
according to Libby's list. None of t heir appeals was successful.
On the other hand, in at least two big white-collar cases --
those of former Morgan Stanley analyst Frank Quattrone
and former Jack Abramoff associate David Safavian -- the grant
of bail did end up foreshadowing a successful appeal.
Quattrone's case, like Gupta's, was in the 2nd Circuit; in
another 2nd Circuit white-collar case in which the court granted
post-conviction bail, accused insurance fraudster Solomon Kaplan
saw most, but not all, of the counts of his conviction tossed on
Gupta, in other words, should be heartened by the grant of
bail but not overconfident that he'll ultimately be cleared.
His lawyers declined comment, as did a representative of the
U.S. Attorney's office in Manhattan.

CENTENNIAL, Colo. (AP) — A student who walked into his suburban Denver high school with a shotgun looking for a specific teacher was a skilled debater with strong political views who recently was kicked off the speech and debate team.
Eighteen-year-old Karl Pierson critically wounded one student before apparently killing himself Friday at Arapahoe High School as police moved in.
Steve Miles is an English teacher who taught Pierson as a freshman. He says the school librarian who ran the speech team cut Pierson from the team, but he didn't know why.
Authorities haven't identified Pierson's target, but students say it was the librarian.
Fellow students describe Pierson as outspoken and smart — not a loner. They also say he held communist views.

Arthur Pita's The Metamorphosis will be broadcast on Sky Arts 2 HD on Monday 27 May at 8pm.
A dance-theatre adaptation of Kafka's novella, The Metamorphosis follows the tale of travelling salesman Gregor Samson, who awakes one morning to find he has been transformed into a monstrous insect.
'For me it has so many themes,' says choreographer Arthur Pita in an interview with Sky Arts, 'being trapped, illness, being alienated, sexuality, rejection, growth and change.' Watch interviews with Arthur, composer Frank Moon and Royal Ballet Principal Edward Watson.
The production has received critical acclaim for both runs since its premiere in September 2011. It has won multiple awards, including a Southbank Sky Arts Award, Critics Circle National Dance Award and an Olivier for Outstanding Achievement in Dance, awarded to Edward Watson for his creation of the role of Gregor.
'I think it's the most extreme way I've ever used my body,' says Edward, 'We deconstructed a whole human and made it as insect-like as we could.'
The horror of the Gregor's mutation is emphasized by over ten litres of treacle.
'Dancing in black goo was completely disgusting,' continues Edward. 'At the start it was absolutely horrible, but during the performance it sort of becomes who you are.' Read the full interview with Ed.
The production was filmed earlier this season and, according to Arthur, it's ideal for the small screen.
'The beauty of catching something on film is that you can see it close-up,' he explains. 'There are moments that, in a play, would be a five-page monologue… With the cameras, you can really focus on these moments.' Read the full interview with Arthur.
The Metamorphosis will be also be staged at the Joyce Theater in New York later this year. Performances will run from 17-29 September, with Royal Ballet Principal Edward Watson reprising his role as Gregor Samsa.
Find out more about the production in our News and Features section.

Overview of Conversion Process
1) Open the MS-Word document in Open Office (my preference) and remove headers and footers from each page
2) Save the document in open office format
3) Try to apply the apress_odt_to_rst.py script that was donated by James Gardner. If that doesn't work, then save document in HTML format and use pandoc to convert.
Command: pandoc -t rst filename.htm > filename.rst
4) Manually parse through each rst file and repair issues (and there are usually a lot...especially with code markup and tables)
Interested in building the sources?
If you are interested in building the sources, you can check the out from bitbucket.org at the following link: http://bitbucket.org/javajuneau/jythonbook/ and then build them using Sphinx

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - UC Santa Barbara will start an immediate national search for a new head women's basketball coach after Lindsay Gottlieb was named the new head coach at the University of California, Berkeley on Monday.
"Lindsay deserves great things in her career. She is a good coach and an even better person," said UCSB Director of Athletics Mark W. Massari. "What I truly loved about working with Lindsay, and her dedicated staff, was their complete desire to honor Coach Mark French's legacy of producing nothing but championships at UCSB. That is a challenge most do not want or would be able to thrive in. Lindsay did."
Gottlieb was named the fourth head coach in UCSB program history on May 15, 2008 after serving three years as an assistant and later as Associate Head Coach at Cal under Joanne Boyle. Boyle was recently named the head coach at Virginia.
"UCSB is a special place and the support for Gaucho women's basketball is palpable, both from the community and administration," Gottlieb said. "I would like to thank Chancellor Yang, Dr. Gary Cunningham and Mark Massari for the opportunity to be the head coach at such a prestigious university. I leave with nothing but respect and admiration for the athletic department staff and every young woman in the program. Continued success lies ahead for the Gauchos, and I will always feel connected to UCSB and the Santa Barbara community."
During her three seasons as the Gauchos head coach Gottlieb's teams won two Big West regular-season championships, one Big West Tournament title, made a trip to the NCAA Tournament and had one appearance in the WNIT. Gottlieb's overall record at UCSB was 56-39 (.589) and 36-13 (.735) in conference games.
"I want to thank Coach Gottlieb for the three beautiful years she has shared with our UC Santa Barbara community," said Chancellor Henry T. Yang. "She has been an outstanding coach and mentor for our student-athletes. She leaves behind a strong, cohesive, and spirited team that will continue to carry forward our proud tradition. We are sorry to see Lindsay leave us, but we are excited about this opportunity for her, and we will be glad to have a friend of the Gauchos at our sister campus up north. We will form a search committee to move ahead quickly to conduct a national search for our next head coach."
UCSB women's basketball has been the dominant team in the Big West Conference for the better part of two decades, claiming 15 Big West Championships and making 13 trips to the NCAA Tournament since 1992. The team is supported by the largest and most passionate fan base in the conference, continually leading the Big West in attendance.
"Moving forward we will look for the next leader of our storied program who will develop strong women on the court and in life," Massari said. "We are invested, as a campus, in women's basketball."
Mekia Valentine became the seventh Gaucho to be drafted by the WNBA earlier this month as UCSB ranks second only to Stanford in most WNBA draft picks by any school in the west.

Katie Holmes blindsided Tom Cruise with divorce papers in the last day or two, and many speculate that she wants to protect her daughter Siri from being dragged into Scientology.
Now, I always wondered what possessed her to marry into Scientology in the first place, but it's heartening that her duty as a mom has come ahead of being married to Cruise, which has undoubtedly been a boost to her own career.
I really don't get how anyone can take a religion seriously knowing it was invented by a sci-fi writer and has a theology involving space aliens. But, when you get right down to it, is it that much wackier than Christianity?
(My apologies to TA for posting in Small Talk, having been told to try to post in the more specific categories, but this does seem to be a Small Talk kind of item, though I'm willing to listen to any suggestions of a better category. Perhaps we need a category devoted to entertainment topics. If TA had one, I would have posted there.)

This from: http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2012/01/what_is_scientol...
One of the people who brought those secrets to the outside world is an ex-Scientologist named Dennis Erlich.
I asked Erlich to describe for us, very briefly, the whole progression that a church member goes through, from beginner to the highest levels of Operating Thetan as Scientologists move up what they call "The Bridge to Total Freedom":
"The mental reprogramming begins with the basic courses and early one-on-one sessions," Erlich says. "These sessions train the individual to expect to have his communication, attention, and body completely controlled by the practitioner (auditor) without objecting. In later sessions, his attention is directed inwardly to parts of his so-called reactive mind. The auditor's commands guide the individual to areas which, according to the tech, release native abilities trapped in earlier unpleasant experiences that he has failed to completely 'confront.' After going through all the mental training processes, step by step, up the 'bridge' to the state of clear, one has erased the reactive mind and is returned to an 'unaberrated' state of healthy mind and body.
"Continuing up toward higher states than clear one reaches the level of Operating Thetan III, and learns that it has not been one's own reactive mind that has been causing the pain, negative emotions, or inabilities, but rather the reactive minds of the thousands and thousands of other individual spirits who are also inhabiting one's body and thinking one's thoughts. These alien spirits, one is told, were brought to Earth (then named Teegeeack) 76 million years ago by the evil galactic emperor Xenu, placed around volcanoes, blown up with hydrogen bombs and then implanted with 36 days of false memories -- including Christianity, and everything else upon which modern society is based. All human problems allegedly stem from this 'Wall of Fire' incident and the subsequent possession of humans by these 'body thetans.'
"The remainder of the 'Bridge to Total Freedom' consists of various exorcism techniques which address the health and spiritual problems inherent in alien possession."
Alien spirits can cause health and spiritual problems? Hum...;p)
I thought they were more wise than us...
I think that's "As the Stomach Turns" --
You guys just drop your dollars (or pounds) into the hat - there'll be another performance later today, as soon as Unseen sobers up.
This, from the latter link above, for those unfamiliar with the basic tenants of Scientology:
If you're new to Scientology watching, you may have some basic understanding that church members are taught that we are immortal beings who have lost a sense of our true nature, and through church founder L. Ron Hubbard's 'auditing' we can wipe away the fog of countless lifetimes of trauma and become 'clear.' Then, moving along increasingly more expensive levels of auditing (also known as Hubbard's 'technology' or 'tech'), we can perfect the ability to 'exteriorize' from our mundane bodies and get more control over our immortal inner 'thetan.' This process of increasing control and power is known as 'the Bridge' and can cost years and hundreds of thousands of dollars to ascend.
Reminds me of Palin's Bridge To Nowhere --
I read somewhere that people like Cruse are different from the rest of us. I think I know why now..LOL
I've been told that when senility creeps up on you, one tends to nod off at inappropriate times - case in point --
But, when you get right down to it, is it that much wackier than Christianity?
Well, I would say talking snakes and walking corpses are equally as wacky as alien overlords putting human souls in volcanoes or whatever lunacy it is they believe.

The ever-so-slightly-overdue Part Two, featuring stuff I wanted to mention or write about the films that didn't make my top 15 back in Part One.
The Disappointing
Dir. Ridley Scott (USA/UK, 2012)
124 minutes
Watching Prometheus is like being served a delicious cake where around one in three slices is guaranteed to contain a human tooth. It's a gorgeously shot picture with a truly epic visual ambition (it's no surprise that Scott quotes directly from Lawrence of Arabia), where the connective tissue of characterisation and plot is thin to the point of transparency. It's a film featuring great performers at the top of their game which gives them so little to grasp, only Fassbender comes out with anything resembling a character arc. It wants to have its cake as an austere, thought-provoking science fiction puzzle piece, and eat its cake as a monster-movie slasher (wait, how many cakes are there again? This metaphor got away from me). In its mixture of ambition and frustrating shortcomings, it's not like any other film I saw this year. I loved looking at it. I can't say the same for watching it.
Berberian Sound Studio
Dir. Peter Strickland (UK, 2012)
92 minutes
The first two thirds of this Lynchian psychodrama, featuring Toby Jones as a repressed British sound director working on a gory Italian giallo film in the 1970s, are pure magic, a supremely unsettling marriage of uncanny sound design and Jones' slow disintegration as the violence he's exposed to through his work starts playing tricks on his mind. The final third is where the film chooses to gutter out into inconsequentiality, tragically squandering all of the tension it so expertly built up before. That it would have ended up in my best-of list with a stronger third act is testament to how frustrating I found its botched ending.
The RapGenius.com Award for White Devil Sophistry
Beasts of the Southern Wild
Dir. Benh Zeitlin (USA, 2012)
93 minutes
This magical realist drama set in a never-named stretch of American swampland uses the obvious connections to New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina to bring up wider resonances it neither earns nor makes any effort to explore. Framing the story through the precocious voiceover narration of a young girl frees the filmmakers from any obligation towards subtlety, allowing them to emotionally bludgeon the audience with cutesy truisms.The presentation of the Bathtub's "community" as a bunch of dissolute drunks who resist any attempt at outside assistance or "civilisation" speaks not only of some patronising conception of how the poor live, but of fetishising this stereotype. The father's aggression and violence towards his daughter is similarly indulged as part of this "authenticity". An excellent star performance from Quvenzhané Wallis and the cinematographer's clear gift for staging arresting shots can't save the film from drowning in its own smugness and incoherence.

OKLAHOMA CITY – As flu-fighting season kicks off, organizations are teaming up to provide health services and vaccines to the public. EMBARK will be hosting a free community health fair this Thursday, October 30 from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the DowntownTransitCenter, 420 N.W. 5th St., Oklahoma City, where the Oklahoma City-County Health Department will be administering flu vaccines.
"With more than 10,000 people using EMBARK buses every day, we thought this would be a great opportunity to help reach a large segment of the population," said Michael Scroggins, public information officer for EMBARK.
EMBARK is partnering with community organizations to provide Oklahomans with free services such as immunizations, dental screenings, diabetes risk tests, blood pressure checks and other health services.
"We saw this as an opportunity to promote healthy living among our riders and the metro area community by connecting them to health services and screenings," said Scroggins. "Making these services very convenient for people may mean more people will access the health services and information."
The Oklahoma City-County Health Department will offer seasonal flu vaccines. Health officials recommend annual flu shots for everyone over six months of age.
The vaccinations will be provided at no charge to individuals or families who qualify through a variety of programs for low income families, seniors and children who have no health insurance. Individuals wanting vaccinations should bring proof of eligibility such as Sooner Care, Medicare, WIC, food stamp benefit or homeless shelter cards or other proof of income.
The health fair is open to the public and will provide a variety of services from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. Those wanting to attend are encouraged to use public transportation.
Agencies participating in the free health fair include: Neighborhood Services Organization, Oklahoma State Health Department, Oklahoma City-County Health Department, Oklahoma City Indian Clinic, Salvation Army, Delta Dental and Transit Advertising, Inc.

Buried in the middle of a lengthy article from the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review regarding the night that culminated in the latest sexual assault charge against Ben Roethlisberger is a tidbit we previously have seen nowhere else.
According to Carl Prine of the Tribune-Review, attorney Ed Garland has agreed to arrange for Roethlisberger to meet with police and to provide a DNA sample.
Prior reports indicated that Garland had not agreed to the interview or the DNA sample.
Roethlisberger was interviewed by authorities on the evening that the sexual assault charge was made.

SmartBear Software has emerged from hibernation clutching the TestComplete 8.5 automated testing tool. Dripping with developer-friendly honey, this new product specifies advanced test automation for developers working with Adobe Flash Builder and Eclipse-based development tools.
Its makers suggest that this tool will prove useful for programmers looking to build expressive mobile, web, and desktop applications using ActionScript and the open source Flex framework. SmartBear claims that this is the first automated testing tool to support the development and deployment of Flex 4.5 applications for the Web.
Michael Labriola, senior consultant at Digital Primates, a consultancy that specializes in Adobe's Flash Platform (and in particular Flex) has said that, "TestComplete reduces the amount of time it takes to test Flex applications and custom components. Using TestComplete we can create more functional tests, in less time, without the frustration of other commercial tools."
This product's central function set is aligned to accelerate automated functional testing with testing controls for RIAs and integration with the latest browsers for web testing. It enables users of the new version of the Adobe Flash Platform to quickly implement functional and regression testing.
According to SmartBear, "TestComplete 8.5 is the first automated testing tool to integrate with Adobe Flash Builder 4.5 and Flex 4.5 — new to version 8.5 is 'out of the box' support for Silverlight 4 so that tests can be recorded and played back against the original Silverlight application in the browser, without the need to change the code or rebuild, accelerating the testing process and improving test accuracy."
SmartBear is also aiming to score with web technologies, as it introduces support for web testing with the latest versions of the two most popular browsers, Internet Explorer 9 (IE9) and Firefox 4.0. TestComplete 8.5 enables compatibility testing across multiple browser versions to ensure websites work correctly for visitors no matter what version of IE or Firefox they use.

Does world peace exist or is it one gigantic myth?
No matter how hard we try the winds of war are continually
One nation makes peace, but another nation�s machinations take hold.
Yet peace is more unattainable then large oil deposits or precious gold.
The secret political agendas plunge the world into inescapable darkness.
It is the civilian casualties and senseless deaths that nobody cares less.
Will world peace ever be a reality?
It is man�s stubbornness and greed that causes peace to constantly flee.
Open Politicians eyes to the horrors that can enslave the civilian population.
A spiritual darkness and despair will overshadow every nation.
It doesn�t have to be this way.
Embrace different creeds, different ideals and let everyone rich and poor have
their say.
World peace will only then be sanctioned and sealed by God himself.
World peace will then be a reality, not a fictitious or fallacious lie.
Nations will then prosper materially and spiritually and no more innocents will
needlessly die.

The G4 Bank Van is an armored vehicle in Grand Theft Auto 2.
Grand Theft Auto 2
The G4 Bank Van is apparently an armored van implied to be used by banks to transport valuable goods, and as such, appears with a heavy truck-like construction with a well encased rear cargo compartment. The vehicles comes in only two colors in game: blue or green.
Grand Theft Auto 2
Being bulky, the G4 Bank Van's performance is less than impressive, with a low top speed but an average acceleration to compensate and a wide turning radius. However, as an armored vehicle, the G4 Bank Van can sustain a higher-than-usual amount of gunfire, and is even known to survive two direct Rocket Launcher hits if still in perfect condition. Being too large, the G4 Bank Van cannot be crushed.
Image Gallery
Grand Theft Auto 2
- The G4 Bank Van is commonplace in the game, appearing in the Downtown, Residential and Industrial Districts of Anywhere City.
- The name of the armored van is suggestively named after real-life security firm Group 4, which later merged with another security firm in 2004. The Securicar, the G4 Bank Van's successor, is also named as such for similar reasons.

Pond & Lake Q & A
Q: Why are the catfish in my lake changing color? – Carlos in Texas
A: When summer sun causes water temperatures to rise in your pond or lake, you may notice color changes in your catfish. Sometimes, the changes are caused by natural reasons like age, spawning and temperature fluctuations. Other times, their coloring lightens from environmental causes like stress and disease.
Your pond fish likely looked darker in the spring or fall – for good reason! The cooler water holds more oxygen, which your fish need to thrive and look their best. In warmer water, oxygen levels tend to drop off. The lack of sufficient oxygen, coupled with poor water quality, can cause your pond fish to stress. When stressed, they're more prone to disease and health problems, which can cause their color to lighten.
In worst-case situations, stressed fish can succumb to disease. One that commonly affects stressed and oxygen-deprived catfish is Columnaris (Flexibacter columnaris), also known as cotton-wool, cotton-mouth, flexibacter or mouth fungus. It is a highly contagious bacterial infection that appears as white spots on the edges of the fish's scales, fins and mouth area. When one fish is affected, the bacteria causes death within days; when an entire lake population is affected, it will wipe out an entire population within hours.
As the saying goes, "Prevention is worth a pound of cure," so the best way to keep your catfish healthy and deeply colored is by making sure they're getting enough oxygen and proper nutrition. The Pond Guy® Game Fish Grower Fish Food helps by strengthening immune systems while promoting good health and longevity. An aerator, like the Airmax® Aerator, breathes life-giving oxygen into ponds and lakes, ensuring a clean water column, even water temperatures and reduced sediment.
With a healthy diet and oxygen-rich water, your catfish should start to show their true colors again!

This is about a UNICEF video ad about domestic abuse and I found this particularly sad and so very true!! I've seen lots of videos posted in birdsites with birds that curse and which everybody seems to find hilarious but which I find super sad because the only thing that goes through my head when I am watching them is: "Who had this poor bird before that taught it say ugly things in such an angry voice?! And how what the bird treated by this person?!" Because a violent person will be violent with anybody or anything... they don't restrict their anger to just one or two people, pets get the same reaction as people do from them. My Sophie CAG came from a home where the husband was abusive and it was heartbreaking to hear her talk - she would say things like: "Ohhhhh, God help us!" "Ohhhh, God saves us!" in the most pitiful tone... Or things like: "JUST LEAVE! LEAVE! Your are making it worse!" "NO, CHRIS! STOP IT! STOP IT, CHRIS!" She has since forgotten these phrases and never repeats them - but I remember.

|Porcelain Plate
How can art inspire technical innovation?
When one group of people wants something that another has, they have several options for obtaining it. They can, for instance, buy it or trade for it. They can also attempt to create their own version of the item in demand. Various people around the world have at one time or another become enamored of Chinese blue and white porcelain. In places like Europe and the Middle East, these ceramics were not only imported, but also mimicked. The Netherlands had Delftware, England had Worcester ware, and Turkey had Iznik ware. In each instance, the manufacturers sought to imitate the prized qualities of Chinese ceramics, while at the same time catering to their home market with local forms and iconography.back
Questions to Consider
- Imagine that you did not know which of the plates seen here was created in China and which in Turkey. What factors would you consider in determining each object's origin?
- The exchange of goods as well as artistic ideas and aesthetic values went both ways between East Asia and the Islamic world in the pre-modern period. How do these two plates reflect that reciprocity?
- What circumstances might have prompted people in Iznik and other parts of the world to attempt their own versions of Chinese blue and white ware? Can you think of any parallel examples in the world today?

Girl Scouts join Loyola in centennial celebration
March 9, 2012
This month, as a part of Loyola's impending centennial celebration, several students in Loyola's honors program are "Rediscovering 1912," through a seminar taught by University Honors Program Director Naomi Yavneh, Ph.D., and university librarian Terry Gallaway, M.S.I.
The class teaches the research and communications skills needed to properly commemorate a centennial event, such as creating a timeline or using research to create physical and virtual exhibits. In an effort to celebrate other centennial milestones, several students have partnered with the Girl Scouts of East Louisiana to create physical and virtual exhibits commemorating the Girl Scouts' 100th birthday. The exhibit will also be featured at the Girl Scout's Centennial Extravaganza later this month in Gonzales, La.
"We want to teach them how to properly tell the story of an organization and explain the purpose of a centennial," Yavneh said. "We've been partnering with the Girls Scouts to help them archive a large amount of material, which hasn't seen the light of day for quite a while. Our students used their research and critical reasoning skills to find old uniforms and handbooks to illustrate the roles of girls in the United States and how those roles have changed over time."
In addition to sifting through physical artifacts, student researchers were able to obtain an oral history of the Louisiana Girl Scouts through an interview with 92-year-old Ann Stauter, who joined her first troop in 1928. According to Yavneh, the meeting with Stauter brought a new dimension to telling the centennial story.
"The Girl Scouts were a big part of her life, and she is still a registered lifelong member," Yavneh said. "She spoke to us about the love she has for the organization, the parties with the Boy Scouts and even touched on segregation and class issues. She was very enlightening and put a real face to this story."
Yavneh hopes to find a place to display the project on campus in an effort to further educate the Loyola community about the colorful history of the Girl Scouts. Other students, not assigned to the Girl Scout project or Loyola's centennial, are working on a project celebrating the bicentennial of Louisiana statehood that will be presented at the capitol in Baton Rouge.
For more information, contact Yavneh at firstname.lastname@example.com or 504-865-2709.

Only something as bizarre as Riley Cooper's antics at a Kenny Chesney show could eclipse the ongoing quarterback competition in Philly.
As it turns out, Wednesday was a good day for the incumbent starter.
Via John Gonzalez of CSNPhilly.com, Mike Vick took 34 snaps on Wednesday, 24 of them with the first team. Nick Foles took 27, and only 13 with the starting offense.
It's the first sign that Vick could be in the process of emerging as the starter. Coach Chip Kelly has said that the first-string quarterback will be named when that happens.
Vick capped his day with a 40-yard throw to the corner of the end zone, which was caught in bounds by receiver DeSean Jackson.
"It was a great way to conclude practice," Vick said. "Chip said [Jackson] was in, so it counts."
After practice, things got ugly for the Eagles. Ultimately, however, the Cooper mess gave Vick a way to emerge off the field, showing leadership and grace by forgiving Cooper.
In the wake of the Cooper situation, leadership from the quarterback position becomes even more important. With Vick apparently separating from Foles on the field, Vick can separate from the second-year quarterback off the field, too, by keeping the team together under circumstances that otherwise could have torn it apart.

"I've always loved Kathleen Herbert's work. Written with sensitivity, passion, and an extraordinarily vivid sense of place, her novels reflect the realities of life in a bygone age while still evoking all of its magic."
Moon in Leo takes place on the Furness peninsula in south Cumbria, England, a remote land of sparkling estuaries, rocky woodlands, and wide skies that glow pink and lavender in the setting sun. (See the cover at left.) The novel is saturated with atmosphere to the extent that the setting becomes almost a character in itself. In this beautiful yet perilous place, wayfarers who manage to pull themselves free of Morecambe Bay's treacherous sands can find sanctuary on Chapel Island – the spot where Moon in Leo begins and ends.
Rosamund Halistan comes from a family of alchemists who have always kept to themselves, which means that she has been more sheltered from the world than other young women of her age. In 1678, her twin brother Stephen returns home from a long stay abroad. Although Rosamund had hoped to become his lifelong partner in the mystical arts, Stephen's interests no longer lie in that direction; he had fallen in love with the exuberant Italian culture and, more dangerously, the religion of its people. Rosamund finds evidence that someone's out to kill him, and she's right.
Even eighteen years after Charles II's restoration, memories of the Civil War remain at the forefront of everyone's minds. To help keep the peace in a company of mixed faiths and political allegiances, Rosamund and Stephen agree to attend a house party organized by Sir John Westby, a former Royalist, and his wife, Prudence, a former Parliamentarian. Dark undercurrents of schemes and deception flow through the conversations, and though Rosamund doesn't catch all of the nuances, she finds herself caught in the thick of the action. When tragedy forces her to confront the layers of corruption in the highest circles of the realm, she determines to preserve what means most to her: her family.
Two suitors vie for her hand, one a fellow seeker of alchemical truths, the other a gentleman of the royal bedchamber. As an heiress, she's a hot commodity, and whether they have their eye on her person or her fortune (or both) is unclear. Rosamund is a true ingénue trapped in a world swirling with intrigue, and while she struggles to find a foothold, her naïveté means that the reader doesn't know whom to trust either. Reality versus illusion is one of the novel's most prominent themes, and over its course, the multifaceted characters are seen from numerous angles.
This lengthy book is set against the backdrop of the Popish Plot, a fictional conspiracy drummed up by Titus Oates in an effort to incite violence against England's Catholics and prevent them from holding power. The historical background is solid, and the storyline feels intensely romantic, at least until one looks beneath the surface. While declarations of affection abound, amid pet names of "dear" and "darling" and "oh my love," women in this sparsely populated countryside must rely on male protectors, and few women in this book choose wisely – if they're permitted to choose at all. Herbert's lush style can make it feel as if one was reading a classic written many years ago rather than a modern work. As a result, the many songs and bawdy rhymes inserted into the text feel even more authentic to the storyline she creates.
Ghostly visitations, sigils charged with magic, and hermetic spells play such a strong role that I sometimes felt as if I'd stepped into a Dion Fortune novel. Although most of the characters don't believe in such things, these occult happenings definitely feel real to Rosamund, influencing her actions beyond what feels natural. The multiplicity of religious beliefs in this deep, involving read make her world feel genuine, as do the well-crafted depictions of ordinary people – nobles, scholars, courtiers, and gypsies – caught in the tide of history.
Moon in Leo was published by Trifolium Books earlier this year (£11.99, trade pb, 401pp).
Contest info: I'm holding a giveaway for two electronic copies of Moon in Leo; the winners will be given directions by which they can download a copy at no charge from Smashwords. To enter, please leave a comment on this post. Deadline July 29th.

Seven qualifiers return at Centre
Staff writer
At least 24 students have joined the track team at Centre High School. Of the nine returning letter-winners, seven competed in the 2012 state track meet, including a 4x100-meter relay team of Justin Deines, Houston Svoboda, Grant Srajer, and Conner Montgomery.
Deines, a senior this year, will compete in the 200 and javelin. Svoboda, also a senior, will compete in the 100 and 200. Srajer, a junior, will compete in the 100, long jump, and triple jump. Montgomery, a junior, will compete in the 100 and 200.
Junior Cacey Simons will compete in high jump, 100, and 200. She had some top finishes in high jump in 2012.
Sophomore Shelby Makovec was a state qualifier in the 1600-meter run and the 3200. She will work to increase her speed in 2013.
Sophomore Brenna Shields went to state last year as a freshman member of the girls' 4x100 team. She will compete in the 100, 400, and long jump.

I bought them at Office Max but assume any office supply store has them. The boxes snap closed on the sides so no spills.

Hi Ereeeree wrote:i think AR is not a much importance if you don't know the profile of the wing of the kite.Laughingman wrote:Hi Bill
Can you tell us the aspect ratio of the switch kite line up? If they are different from size to size then just pick the largest common size.
if different AR kites have the same low wing profile you never have good low end for the heavier riders.
so good luck if you are heavy...
I come in between 75 kg and 80 kg depending on the time of year. Not sure if that would be considered heavier or not.
What I am looking for is a larger kite for those lighter wind days which is not so difficult for me to edge against. I've read that higher AR allows the kite to fly further upwind (and past the window if you are not careful) so more difficult to fly but if you are good at it you can likely find that sweet spot most days and rocket upwind.... I think it is worth mentioning that I prefer to ride OR Makos most of the time.
If you have more to add to help me in my search for my perfect quiver please feel free to share!

Dear scholar,
We noticed that you have published an article in the journal Crime media cultere, so we kindly invite you to submit an article to our journal "Cross-cultural Communication" (CCC), which is a peer-reviewed petroleum journal published quarterly by Academic Journals (http://www.cscanada.net; Http://www.cscanada.org). All the manuscripts are required to be written in English, and they should be submitted as attachment to firstname.lastname@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com . The preferred format for the manuscript is APA, although the MSWord format is also acceptable. Note that the submission deadline for the first issue is May 20, 2011. Our objective is to inform author s of the decision on their manuscript(s) within four weeks. Instruction for authors and other details are available on our website: http://www.cscanada.net/index.php/ccc .
Ha ha. There is no journal Crime media cultere. A petroleum journal? Who wold pose APA and MSWord as contrasting members in the category of format?
But: what is the purpose? This isn't sophisticated enough to actually be doing a pay-journal scam, and the web page above isn't even in grammatical English. Cui bono? Hm... are they targeting foreign academics trying to break into English language publications?

PHOENIX (Monday, May 7, 2012) -- Attorney General Tom Horne today joined 44 other states and the District of Columbia in announcing a $100 million settlement with Abbott Laboratories over allegations of illegal off-label marketing of its Depakote drug.
The agreement marks the largest consumer protection-based pharmaceutical settlement ever reached. Arizona will receive nearly $2 million and the Illinois-based Abbott will be restricted from marketing the drug for off-label uses not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
Depakote is approved for treatment of seizure disorders, mania associated with bipolar disorder and prophylaxis of migraines, but the attorneys general alleged Abbott marketed the drug for treating unapproved uses, including schizophrenia, agitated dementia and autism.
"Consumers need to be able to trust the health care system, and that includes ensuring that pharmaceutical companies market their products appropriately," Horne said. "This settlement shows that this office and my colleagues nationwide will not tolerate the improper marketing of medicines that affect peoples' physical and mental well-being."
In a complaint filed today along with the settlement agreement, the states alleged Abbott engaged in unfair and deceptive practices when it marketed Depakote for off-label uses.
As a result of the states' investigation, Abbott has agreed to significantly change how it markets Depakote and to cease promoting off-label uses. The company also will pay $100 million nationally. As part of this settlement, Arizona will receive $1,964,188.00 in settlement funds from the company to be deposited into the Consumer Fraud Revolving Fund pursuant to A.R.S. § 44-1531.01.
Under the settlement, Abbott Laboratories is:
- Prohibited from making false or misleading claims about Depakote,
- Prohibited from promoting Depakote for off-label uses, and
- Required to ensure financial incentives on sales do not promote off-label uses of Depakote.
In addition, for a five-year period Abbott must:
- Limit the creation and use of responses to requests by physicians for non-promotional information about off-label uses of Depakote,
- Limit dissemination of reprints of clinical studies relating to off-label uses of Depakote,
- Limit use of grants and CME,
- Disclosure of payments to physicians, and
- Register and disclose clinical trials.
Attorneys General of the District of Columbia and the following states participated in today's settlement: Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Florida, Hawaii, Idaho, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont, Virginia, Washington, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

I have access to a very large collection of Karate books. At one time, I was even paid to read and review them for a local newspaper.
You can learn a lot about Karate from books, but in my opinion, you cannot learn Karate. You can learn about the history and traditions of the art, dates and places, names and events, stories and biographies, but you cannot learn the basics, mechanics, kata, and techniques of the art. You can learn about these things, but not how to properly do them.
I have met people who had learned kata from books. Their movements were terrible. How could they be otherwise? A series of photographs can only show you pieces of a kata. No matter how many photographs are shown, there are many more pieces to the sequences.
Learning Karate requires the guidance of a qualified Sensei. Learning is a hands on thing. It actually requires two things: a qualified Sensei and a dedicated student. It takes both. A student cannot learn without a qualified Sensei and a Sensei cannot really teach without a dedicated student.
If you are learning Karate from a qualified Sensei, books could be helpful. Without a Sensei, books can be interesting at best. At worst, they can lead a student to learn many mistakes and form many bad habits.
I have mentioned before that I have met students who performed kata with a count corresponding the the photographs of a book. And a certain points, they would shout out "kiai" just like the photographs instructed. Did I mention that one of these students was a yudansha?
I really enjoy books. I have spent a considerable sum acquiring them for the Hawaii Karate Museum. But I always keep in mind that the best Karate book in the world cannot replace a good Sensei. To me, a good Sensei is worth more than all the books in the world!
Still... I certainly would like to acquire originals of Motobu Sensei's two books for the Hawaii Karate Museum during this life. (Smile) We actually have nice reprints, but I am determined to locate originals.
