[Contribution to the Reimagining Society Project hosted by ZCommunications]
Taking note of intensifying anarchist social movements worldwide, the goal of this paper is to provide some vision through relating the objectives of these movements to discourse going on within the area of public health—specifically, taking into account these movements' social, political, and economic goals, impact, and implications toward considering what functionally makes for a healthy society. The intention of this paper is both to work toward developing a proposal for considering the merits of radical and utopian ways of thinking and practice within the domains of health care and public health policy, and discuss a developing awareness that such currents of thought are (re)emerging worldwide and have been reconsidering and challenging hierarchical institutions and industry across the board. Development is needed in terms of envisioning functional health care and (more broadly) a healthy society by discussing where things can go from here.
This essay was adapted from a much longer paper (my graduate thesis) that had the following trajectory. It began with a series of arguments as to the definitions, aims, relevance, and scope of radical anarchist thought and praxis (grounding its early articulations in classical liberalism and blossoming into libertarian socialism). It then looked at the challenges anarchist theory brings to bear on health care and public health policy as it stands, in order to ultimately argue for a more horizontal and participatory conception of public health. These challenges were illustrated through comparisons with the widely-accepted work of Lawrence Gostin regarding his advocacy for strong public health law (more mainstream and much less radical in formulation). As I contrasted Gostin's approach with the standards of a participatory society, Gostin came to model the framework for what I consider orthodox public health (that is, public health with a liberal but non-radical stance at best). I then challenged the non-radical, orthodox approach by discussing some of its inherent problems, namely (1) the manner in which public health tends to limit itself by narrowly gravitating toward lifestyle when enacting its interventions as opposed to focusing on more broad structural and empowering interventions; (2) how it tends to operate from a cultural disposition that has blocked much anarchist discourse from the academy in regards to discussing radical social theory, and similarly from public health dialogue; (3) how it tends to largely accept capitalist market economics as foundational for economic considerations (to be mitigated perhaps, but not fundamentally challenged); and (4) how it tends to be plagued by conflicts stemming from an overemphasis of hard sciences and an underemphasis of softer, social sciences.
In terms of moving forward and pursuing alternatives, the vision I am after advocates for incorporating more holistic radical leftist theory—a multi-issue, -focus, -tactic, growth-oriented, revolutionary perspective encompassing the principles of anarchism, the ideals of participatory society, and horizontalism—into public health discourse in order to piece together a vastly more robust and effective conception of public health and thusly work toward a more healthy society as a whole. This vision considers the feasibility of such radical leftist theory in the current context of the greater society, the unique nature of the anarchist project, and how conflict resolution (both internal to the movement and external in the greater society) is understood within such a context. It offers a few illustrative observations of prefigurative health movements that, while not necessarily vocally anarchist, largely abide by the principles and (through doing so) open up practical alternatives to orthodox health care and public health policy. It then offers a few brief considerations of what the social framework of health-focused anarchist organizations could look like, how they would operate, and how they would interact with more conventional institutions. It finally concludes with pragmatic considerations of what the movement can do today to bring this about—focusing directly and simultaneously on immediate efforts toward (re)creating social structures that promote freedom, solidarity, diversity, self-management, justice, participation, and overall healthy communities, and dismantling social structures that perpetuate alienation, disenfranchisement, disempowerment, and exploitation.
The notion of "fragments" in the title is drawn from much of David Graeber's social, anthropological, and anarchist analysis. He offered a similarly titled work (Fragments of an Anarchist Anthropology) that ignited much of my curiosity and excitement behind writing the longer version of this essay. Much of his articulations of contemporary anarchism find resonance in this effort, so his ideas consequently offer much of this paper's backbone.
"Fragments" in this title refers to just the iceberg tip of a project on one level, so this paper in other words is obviously not aspiring to be anything close to comprehensive in terms of presenting a complete vision. On another level, it refers to the nature of the project itself in that reimagining health care, public health policy, and society as a whole along participatory principles is by definition process and experiment. Radical social movements that claim to have the sole vision and the correct manner of doing things breed destructive totalitarianism (as history has shown through state socialism and state capitalism). By contrast, the anarchist project is completely ideologically different in that no monopoly on theory or answers is claimed or tolerated. Other prominent contributions to this paper include much of Michael Albert's work and collaborations in developing radical social theory and a participatory and horizontal conception of economics.
Picking up the Pieces: Developing Radical Theory and a Vision of Healthy Society.
Vicente Navarro said that for a complete and functional national health policy to exist, public health interventions that emerge from this arrangement should be three-pronged: structural interventions that deal with the political, economic, social, and cultural determinants of good health; they should concern lifestyle determinants that focus on changes in individual behavior; and they should include socializing and empowering determinants that encourage individuals to become involved in collective efforts to improve the structural determinants of their health.[i] If we carry the importance of empowerment to its fullest logical extent in terms of health care and public health policy—that is, seeing the need to build real conditions for self-management, attacking the roots of inequalities instead of just minimizing their effects, addressing market forces and norms of competition that have invaded every facet of social life, and realizing that these conditions are systemically perpetuated through the institutions we create but not intrinsic to the societal roles these institutions need to fulfill (this will be expanded later)—we can pragmatically and rationally consider more utopist visions of how health care institutions (and institutions throughout society) can be restructured.
Radical social theory is that which, as the label implies, seeks to get to the root of various social problems with the aim of eradicating their fundamental causes as opposed to just managing their effects (e.g., targeting capitalism instead of merely its negative externalities, or pursuing sound public health practice by employing the precautionary principle[ii] instead of accepting the negative externalities of capitalist industrial processes and merely managing—at best—the resulting poor health of the population). Often, because such jarring critique calls for fundamental changes in the basic ways we do so many things, the ideas that sprout forth are often those of sensationalized revolution: romanticized images of ultimate confrontation, highly-frictional social readjustment, and sectarian clashes out in the streets (as Graeber pointed out, all the elements characteristically included in both the classic misconceptions of active democracy and in the current misconceptions of the active anarchism—essentially chaos in both forms). As so much of radical theory historically talks of grand theatric revolutions, empirically however, such misconceptions of change have made change all the more difficult to pursue. Now when radical theory is brought up, the amount of baggage that must be unpacked and dealt with is often stultifying—the romanticization/bastardization (either way) of social change as cataclysmic ruptures; the incompatibilities of many leftist theories; the predominance of the stylized revolutionary image; the lack of vision beyond social confrontation—all collectively leaves many of those who would otherwise support attainable change thinking that there are no realistic and practical societal alternatives. Fortunately, learning from history, many reconstituted surges in revolutionary and leftist radical thought today take very critical stances on past leftist movements—consequently unearthing much more fruitful information and discussions around the nature of building a healthy society premised on participation.
Unifying Radical Social Theories to Affect Change.[iii] Radical theories revolving around social change have been problematic. They emerge out of constituencies enduring certain oppressive situations that are unfavorable to the extent that they are deemed not only worth talking about, but worth bringing into question and framing critical understanding around. Unsurprisingly, as they all arise out of specific experiences and as they all profess to explain the world, the narrowness of the constitutive experiences from which they grow becomes their Achilles' heel as the theories are shaped and evangelized. This does not mean however that they are not ultimately useful, should be scrapped, or even that they are flat out wrong, and it most definitely does not mean that Margaret Thatcher was right when she said "There is no alternative." It merely means that considerate reconciliation is necessary between them and having the flexibility and openness to consider what makes for a good theory is a good way to pick up the pieces.
A theory is a tool that explains, predicts, and/or guides situations. To the greater extent that it can do these things, the more useful it is. Unfortunately, radical social theories have historically been too confined to narrow experiences. In other words, they may serve to explain, predict, and guide actions taking place within those particular social frameworks, but fail to accurately conceptualize human action more broadly. If you look at how Marxists (to use one example) focus on class and economy, they tend to frame experiences as derivative of that understanding. While they may be well aware of gender and racial oppression (for instance), at the core of it all, the Marxist agrees the economy and class struggle are at the base of, and are accommodated/replicated in, every other social ill. In this sense, the Marxist professes that class struggles are so powerful that they permeate every other facet of life and experience, and if only the economic structure was to be changed, race and gender relations would ultimately be altered as well. A feminist may say the same thing, just replacing classism with notions of sexism: do away with sexism and gender hierarchy in the kinship sphere of social life (that deals with socialization, education, etc.) and that will subsequently dissolve the crippling patriarchy throughout the economy and political spheres and all the ills that emanate. Needless to say, the problems here in this context are easy to see. The degree of each of these theories' usefulness depends on the relevance of the concepts upon which they are built. Concepts—being merely slices of reality drawn out for purposeful attention—are born out of experience. Good concepts will be relevant to specific priorities, concerns, and aims; however, the narrower the experience is from which they arise, the less primary and acceptable they will be to a more diverse array of people and situations. This has been a formidable source of tension in leftist organizing throughout its history.
The vision for a healthy participatory society would have to come from robust, unifying, and diverse understanding that somehow coalesces other radical social theories and consummately values everything in terms of promoting a fully participatory society. As such, the radical theory that emerges from such integration deals compellingly with that which is useful for democracy/participation (basic anarchist principles in a libertarian socialist sense), and informing this process is an empirical understanding of what is undemocratic. As a result, dealing with what is and is not useful for a democracy serves in highlighting a democratic constituency as well as extracting relevant concepts that pinpoint a democratic society's basic features. By the nature of what it is that needs to be brought about—a truly participatory society—the radical theory that would help craft its vision would be a multi-issue, -focus, -tactic, growth-oriented, revolutionary perspective.[iv] What follows from this standpoint is fundamentally a value-based approach toward institution-building with participatory/democratic values at its core.
Understandably, reshaping society in such a way sounds daunting—just trying to demarcate a sizeable constituency that all share the same values—but this theory is not dogmatic. All values do not need to mesh, but there are a few overarching values that are endemic to a functional democratic society and as such should be non-controversial if democracy is the gem we are after. Among these fundamental values are solidarity, diversity, self-management, liberty, justice, participation, and tolerance.

Ive been doing this for years when fate sticks me in economy. There is a large collection of mini Tanquerays at the house!
I've been told by the cabin crew on more than one airline that it was not legal for me to comsume my own libations in flight. Thanks.
I guess it depends upon the airline policy (in which case it's not necessarily illegal per se), and also country jurisdiction (in which case, I guess it could be illegal).
Having said that, if you are discrete and could be drinking orange juice or another drink which you could only tell were alcoholic by tasting it, I think you could easily tell cabin crew (politely, or impolitely, if that's your fancy) to go to hell.
They might get sniffy with you, but realistically couldn't do much if you're not tanked or offensive.
I always take my own food and beverages with me when I fly coach. The in-flight options are horrible, and I don't think the crew could care less if my orange juice was spiked or not, just as long as I don't spill it everywhere or eat smelly egg sandwiches with it.
That should be "discreet"
I'm also happy to add that many of the duty free outlets at Heathrow have (at last inspection) a lovely circular display of miniature bottles with a wide variety of beverages on offer. You can tailor your choices to the time of your flight.
Nevertheless, if you go to a third-world country such as Mexico where corruption rules, the security people will claim them and tell you that you're only allowed to transport healthcare products. They will want to keep the liquor (and make a profit with it), even the tiny bottles, no matter how much you complain. You can still enjoy the satisfaction from watching their faces go blank after pouring the liquor into the trash in front of them, but certainly it's less than what you'd get from drinking it. (I'm Mexican)
Here is the Best Travel Tip Ever: WEAR COMFORTABLE SHOES. You will go far.
I do believe the airlines have policies against BYOB; enforcement is probably rather spotty though.
Another alternative is to soak some cut fruit in booze the night before. No apparent limits on bringing solid food through the checkpoints.
Even cheaper is to fill your own 100ml bottles. However I generally prefer wine and 100ml of wine (or even 300ml) is less than satisfactory. I am still looking for nice square sided bottles and a "1 quart bag" (maybe even an "Imperial Quart size bag) that fits them perfectly to maximize liquid volume.
Oddly enough, as much as I like a good drink at the end of the day, I never really liked drinking during the day, especially if I have to do something arduous (which includes air travel!) or requiring concentration - drink makes me too mellow and relaxed. I also don't like drinking alcohol on flights, particularly long-haul ones, as it makes me feel a hundred times worse when I get off at the other end (flying sober and well hydrated etc. is bad enough; slightly hung over and dehydrated/bloated is a nightmare). So for all those reasons, the last thing I want to do is load myself on screwdrivers or bloody maries prior to a flight.
Of course, the idiocy of the small bottle/container requirement applies to anything you might want to bring aboard. Does anyone really think any half-way competent terrorist (is that a meaningful category?) would not figure out how to bring a bunch of small bottles of some bad substance, together with a larger empty bottle. And combine them after passing security.
If you didn't already know that TSA is all about theater, not security, now you see it.
The only thing about this idea that is totally beyond me is "Why didn't I think of that?"
There's only one word to properly describe this tip: Win.
(Possibly modified by the use of "Epic")
There's only one word to properly describe this tip: Against FAA regulations.
You are just hell-bent on being a downer. I have seen you go from "be careful and follow the rules" to "your children will be killed if you do this." Please, calm down, we are not all out to get drunk and pee on your shoes here. Maybe give helpful and less confrontational advice if you would like anyone to take you seriously? I can only assume you are home stationed in SLC.

Very good! The only changes I made was I didn't have shallots. Instead, I used onions with a little bit of jarred minced garlic. Other that that, I follwed exactly. My sauce was a bit runny. Wonder if I should have cooked it longer. Good flavor though!

The sauce was excellent! Made this exactly as written and it was fabulous!
jmeleeS Posted: 04/11/13
This dish isn't "horrible" but I certainly wouldn't take the time / use the ingredients to make again, so it's honest to give it a 1-star rating. The sauce was actually overwhelming, and was not something I would ever want to have again. Since the steak is just seasoned and cooked, without the sauce, you don't need a recipe to cook the steak. Not a keeper for us and I would recommend skipping this dish as it was not really that quick to make (the sauce takes a while to thicken) and while it was easy, the end result was just "mheh." We won't be making this one again.

This is a fun, relaxed, pleasant, and unique establishment in Boston. Located on the side street next to Suffolk Law my gf and I have been regulars for two years. The staff is pretty much the same from two yaes ago and seem to genuinely enjoy their work. Mo and Kit are fabulous hosts and make you feel welcome and comfy even ewhen the wait is a bit long for a table. Of course you can always eat at the bar. The food is hearty and is truly comfort food done well and without pretense. The crowd tends to be not the college crowd but after workers and daters. Makes for a nice atmosphere without college kids looking to do shots and puke all over themselves. I highly recommend this venue for a nice and fun time with no fuss no muss.

Reaching for the Stars: Who Pays for Talent in Innovative Industries?Fredrik AnderssonOffice of the Comptroller of the Currency (OCC) Matthew FreedmanCornell University - Department of Economics; Cornell University - School of Industrial and Labor Relations John HaltiwangerUniversity of Maryland - Department of Economics; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER); Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Julia LaneAmerican Institutes for Research; Institute for the Study of Labor (IZA) Kathryn L. ShawStanford Graduate School of Business; National Bureau of Economic Research (NBER) 0000 The Economic Journal, Vol. 119, Issue 538, pp. F308-F332, June 2009 Abstract: Innovative firms need to hire and motivate highly talented workers. This article connects the potential returns to innovation to the structure of compensation for skilled employees. We show that the software firms that operate in software sectors with high potential upside gains to innovation pay more to 'star' workers than do other firms that operate in stable markets. Firms operating in product domains with highly skewed positive returns pay employees more in up-front starting salaries and offer higher compensation growth. The large estimated effects on earnings are robust to the inclusion of a wide range of controls for worker and firm characteristics.

They are just community run, so teams just sign up and they challenge other teams they are against in the bracket.
Single elimination usually means one game, whoever wins advances. Altho Best of 3 and Single Elimination doesn't really go well together in my eyes Maybe he/she/it means that there's no losers bracket? I dunno ^^
Best of 3 matches, there is no losers braket, once you lose one round (lose one best of 3) you're out.

We want craftsmen and guilds to shape the fabric of our cities once more with their workshops and vision. We want objects to last longer and to be made with love. With this in mind we set out to create Josiah, a radio and bluetooth speaker that marries British ceramic heritage from Stoke-on-Trent with the simplicity and playfulness practiced by our Soho design team.
The DAB Radios and Bluetooth Speakers are all handmade locally between Stoke-on-Trent and London. Each Josiah ceramic body was cast up north in a family-run workshop whilst the design, woodwork and assembly were taking place in London. Josiah is now showing in the creators' Soho shop, which they designed specially for the product and as a warm escape from West-End winter, with hay bales, playground swings and free tea.

Spira mirabilis
The Beethoven Encounter
Ludwig Van Beethoven: Symphony No.6 (Pastoral)
Spira mirabilis, the extraordinary new orchestra drawing together Europe's finest individual young players, returns to Southbank Centre following their spectacular London debut last season - where Beethoven's Eroica symphony 'coursed through the orchestra like an electric current' (The Times).
The orchestra, who chooses to perform without a conductor, ontinue their exploration of Beethoven's symphonies, focusing on the transition from the heroic Fifth to the pastoral Sixth.
There are opportunities to witness open rehearsals earlier in the day. Details to be announced.
'Smiling faces, swaying bodies, and a leader (Lorenza Borrani) leading with all her being... The collaborative approach led to a wonderful fluidity and clarity in each voice, within an energised unity of purpose. And there were subtleties of pacing and timing that few batons could ever reach.... The audience leapt to its feet in a spontaneous ovation.' (***** The Times)
Queen Elizabeth Hall at 6.15pm - Pre-concert Talk - Is it because they're young? Looking at Spira mirabilis. Audiences love them, but is their approach to presenting classical music simply to do with them being a new generation or is there something else?

27 June 2011
The Royal Society today awarded the King Charles II medal to Mr Wen Jiabao, Premier of the State Council of the People's Republic of China.
The medal was awarded at a special ceremony at the Royal Society, where Premier Wen gave the only speech of his UK visit.
Since taking office in 2003, Premier Wen has overseen one of the most ambitious programmes of national research investment the world has ever seen. Science and technology have been placed at the heart of China's planning and national development and it is recognised as a common value to human kind through school and university education Sir Paul Nurse, President of the Royal Society speaking at the ceremony said: "Co-operation based on openness, the free exchange of ideas and mutual respect, allows a shared sense of purpose in addressing global problems. It increases enlightenment and leads to a better quality of life for all. China and Britain both have long traditions of science and its application. We have much we can learn from each other and much we can gain from collaboration."
The King Charles II medal is awarded to foreign Heads of State or Government who have made an outstanding contribution to furthering scientific research in their country.
The text of the speeches are now available:
Audio recordings of the event are available in English and Mandarin:

A lack of diversity across the scientific community represents a large loss of potential talent to the UK according to the chair of the Royal Society's Equality and Diversity Network (EDAN), Professor Edward Hinds FRS.
Scientists had little data on where sea turtles go when they swim out to sea after hatching. A study today in Proceedings of the Royal Society B reveals that they spend most of their time at the surface of the sea soaking up the heat of the sun to help them grow.
The Royal Society and the U.S. National Academy of Sciences released a joint publication today that explains the clear evidence that humans are causing the climate to change, and that addresses a variety of other key questions commonly asked about climate change science.

Carpod cargo carrier allows you to carry an additional 13¼ cubic feet with you on your camping, shopping or day trips. The hitch basket is design with folded mesh sides and a welded one-piece base frame allowing for a 450 lb weight capacity. Steel detent pins provide the locking mechanism of the cargo basket's walls allowing it to fold for storage or to be folded out for unloading, helping to avoid back injury from awkward lifting. To prevent rust and corrosion the cargo carrier has a black powder coat finish and the base frame has been galvanized. The cargo basket weighs 50 lbs and can fit a 2" receiver hitch. An extender may be needed if your vehicle has a spare tire on the back to allow for the Carpod to fit correctly. Since this cargo carrier has wire mesh walls certain items will fit more securely reducing the need for extra tie-downs. Also available for the cargo carrier is the optional locking lid and the water resistant cargo bag. Carpod Cargo Carrier Image Gallery Carpod Cargo Carrier Product Features:

16 Tons Taphouse and Cafe in Eugene has a great alternative to this IPA season. The pub's 'Week Of Wild" from April 23-29 will feature 30 different wild ales on tap and the debut of the bar's anniversary beer, a special one-off by Upright Brewing, "El Coloquio de Cervantes".
I assume that by "wild ale" 16 Tons means farmhouse and other brettanamyoces-infused beers that take on a wild, if not totally sour, beer character. These tend to be the more earthy, horse blanket, tropical fruit, and slightly acidic and tart beers. The anniversary beer from Upright Brewing is a perfect example, as its a barrel-aged dark rye saison with raspberries. More specifically, it's "a blend of Upright Six, Upright Eight, and raspberries barrel-aged with wild yeast." If you're wondering what Upright "Eight" is, it's a batch of the Six that was fermented with a different yeast strain that fermented over the top of the open tank, losing wort and finishing at a much higher gravity. Jokingly, it was then added to barrels to ferment out and named Upright Eight.
A few of the beers on tap:
Upright El Coloquio de Cervantes: Barrel Aged Dark Rye Saison with Raspberries
Oakshire Frederic's Lost Arm Gin Barrel
Flat Tail Wild Five Amber
Flat Tail Put a Bird on Wit
Flat Tail 1st Anniversary Ale
Flat Tail Raspberry Beret
Bear Republic Tartare
Cascade Bourbon Barrel Kriek
Cascade / New Belgium Pater
Russian River Sanctification
Russian River Supplication
Verhaeghe Duchesse De Bourgogne
Deschutes Malhuer Wild Ale
Commons Barrel Aged Urban Farmhouse
New Belgium La Folie
Here is a tidbit about the title from Miguel de Cervantes:
"What I cannot help taking amiss is that he[d] charges me with being old and one-handed, as if it had been in my power to keep time from passing over me, or as if the loss of my hand had been brought about in some tavern, and not on the grandest occasion the past or present has seen, or the future can hope to see. If my wounds have no beauty to the beholder's eye, they are, at least, honorable in the estimation of those who know where they were received; for the soldier shows to greater advantage dead in battle than alive in flight."

Several hiking trails wander through this sequoia grove. Most people will hike to Grizzly Giant and California Tree but that's it. As a result much solitude can be found if you continue. I find the upper grove to be more interesting anyway! I recommend hiking the grove all the way to the back at Wawona Point, but if you'd rather not hike uphill, then during the summer take the tram tour to the Fallen Wawona Tunnel tree and hike back to the parking lot from there. NOTE: The tram costs money. Check for prices at the ticket office.

The Empire State Building (ESB) has selected Philips as its partner to transition the building's iconic tower lights to innovative LEDs. The two organizations have pushed the boundaries of LED technology to develop a state-of-the-art dynamic lighting system from Philips Color Kinetics that is unique to ESB and allows the building's façade and mast to change lighting scenes in real-time.
In addition to greater control and management of the lighting, the new system will deliver the superior light levels for the design, as well as allow ESB to highlight its architectural details.
ESB is replacing its traditional light fixtures with LEDs as part of its 21st century renovation. The new computerized system will allow customized light capabilities from a palette of over 16 million colors, including hard-to-achieve pastels, in virtually limitless combinations. The LED lights will replace the current palette of 10 colors, which also requires a team several hours to change the building's nearly 400 fixtures. Soon ESB staff will be able to create and update customized lights, using new energy-efficient technology.
"Throughout our $550 million Empire State ReBuilding program, we've looked at every aspect of the building to make it energy efficient and install 21st century technology, befitting of its position as the World's Most Famous Office Building," says Anthony Malkin, president of Malkin Holdings. "It is time to update our iconic tower lighting. Initially, as we have both old-fashioned high intensity discharge and LED lighting side-by-side, there will be no obvious difference to the public's view. But in September when the LED changeover is complete, we will see some differences. We surveyed the market for the most technologically advanced, energy efficient, and reliable lighting system to illuminate the international, iconic symbol of the New York City skyline. Philips Color Kinetics' LED system will make our world famous tower lightings that much more magical."
The new LED lighting technology will make it possible to control and focus the light exactly where and how the effect is desired. Ripple, cross-fade, particle and burst effects, previously not possible, can be easily automated to create unique lighting designs. The new lighting system will also allow the building to minimize light spill, ensuring that light is focused on the façade and mast, while providing enough light to allow the building to be seen from anywhere in New York City. This feature not only respects the night sky, but the building's neighbors as well.
"Lighting the Empire State Building has been a technical challenge and aspiration for us, and one that we have been working on with the ESB for years," says Jeff Cassis, general manager of Philips Color Kinetics. "We have been developing our LED technology to create a solution that could achieve the right light levels and design for the building's façade, while keeping true to the building's identity as an iconic symbol of New York and building innovation. The result is a unique LED lighting system that creates as much light as the traditional light sources that it is designed to replace, yet one that can be adapted on the fly to redefine the New York City skyline.

Practical mod_perl / HTML Book / | ||||
21.5.2. Using Apache::FakeRequest to Debug Apache Perl Modules |
Apache::FakeRequest is used to set up an empty Apache request object that can be used for debugging. The Apache::FakeRequest methods just set internal variables with the same names as the methods and returns the values of the internal variables. Initial values for methods can be specified when the object is created. The print( ) method prints to STDOUT.
Subroutines for Apache constants are also defined so that you can use Apache::Constants while debugging, although the values of the constants are hardcoded rather than extracted from the Apache source code.
Example 21-2 is a very simple module that prints a brief message to the client's browser.
package Book::Example; use Apache::Constants qw(OK); sub handler { my $r = shift; $r->send_http_header('text/plain'); print "You are OK ", $r->get_remote_host, "\n"; return OK; } 1;
You cannot debug this module unless you configure the server to run it, by calling its handler from somewhere. So, for example, you could put in httpd.conf:
<Location /ex> SetHandler perl-script PerlHandler Book::Example </Location>
Then, after restarting the server, you could start a browser, request the location http://localhost/ex, and examine the output. Tedious, no?
With the help of Apache::FakeRequest, you can write a little script that will emulate a request and return the output (see Example 21-3).
#!/usr/bin/perl use Apache::FakeRequest ( ); use Book::Example ( ); my $r = Apache::FakeRequest->new('get_remote_host'=>'www.example.com'); Book::Example::handler($r);
When you execute the script from the command line, you will see the following output as the body of the response:
You are OK www.example.com
As you can see, when Apache::FakeRequest was initialized, we hardcoded the Apache method get_remote_host( ) with a static value.
At the time of this writing, Apache::FakeRequest is far from being complete, but you may still find it useful.
If while developing your code you have to switch back and forth between the normal and fake modes, you may want to start your code in this way:
use constant MOD_PERL => $ENV{MOD_PERL}; my $r; if (MOD_PERL) { $r = Apache->request; } else { require Apache::FakeRequest; $r = Apache::FakeRequest->new; }
When you run from the command line, the fake request will be used; otherwise, the usual method will be used.

Violent crime fell significantly last year in cities across the U.S., according to preliminary federal statistics, challenging the widely held belief that recessions drive up crime rates. The incidence of violent crimes such as murder, rape and aggravated assault was down 5.5% from 2008, and 6.9% in big cities. It fell 2.4% in long-troubled Detroit and plunged 16.6% in Phoenix, despite a perception of rising crime that has fueled an immigration backlash. The early figures, from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, indicate a third straight year of decreases, along with a sharply accelerating rate of decline. WSJ, Evan Perez.
