March fundraiser: late start, but then you need recall marijuana is now legal in Colorado.
So, like, you know.
Anyway, here's the scoop. My wife and I decided we needed more space, part of which is because my wife wants her mother to move here from Utah to live with us and her grand kids. We were able to find a wonderful house, which breaks ground sometime in the next couple weeks, that should be finished by August or September.
Fortunately, the house is only about 3 minutes from our current home, and is actually closer to Satchel's school (though a bit farther away from wrestling practice, which right now is essentially at the entrance to our subdivision). The only downside is, we wanted a specific cul-de-sac lot which were told wasn't going to be released for another couple of years, so as we were preparing to walk away and find something else, we were shocked (as was the sales rep for the neighborhood build) that the builders agreed to release the lot to us.
Which meant we had to move quickly and sign the contract about a month or two before we wanted to.
So it's going to be belt-tightening time around here — already, the armored rat has reluctantly agreed that he can live without Grey Goose and that his margaritas can do without Grand Mariner — and any contributions you make will help us out going forward, especially now that PayPal and the Obama IRS considers your gifts as income and not largess.
Thanks to all who've contributed and continue to contribute. Between coaching and some side work I'm doing for extra cash, blogging is not as easy as it used to be. But I will soldier on so long as you all soldier on with me.
What else, after all, is there to do?
"Black Teen Unemployment 32.4%"
The post-racial President with the great pant crease and the faculty lounge argot in action:
The unemployment rate for black teens, ages 16 to 19, was 32.4% in February, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), whose data also show that only 24.9% of black youth are participating in the nation's labor force.
The participation rate for black youth has decreased from 26.4% in January to 24.9% in February, a decrease of 1.5 percentage points. The rate has not been this low since January 2012 when it was 24.8%.
When President Obama took office in January 2009, the work-force participation rate for this group was 29.6%, which means the rate of decline — from 29.6% to 24.9% — was 15.8%.
The black youth unemployment rate for ages 16-19 is 32.4%, which is 383.6% higher than the national unemployment rate, of 6.7%.
The unemployment rate is the percentage of people in the labor force who do not have a job. To be in the labor force a person must either have a job or actively sought one in the last four weeks.
Okay, sure. Employment rates are down. And participation rates are down. But just think how an Executive order that sets wages — a mandatory minimum wage increase — will help black teens and youth, who will be competing against workers with prior experience, or who come from schools outside the "charter school"-free zones Obama has erected around so many of the least effective public school zones in the country, many in predominantly minority areas!
– That is, if he couples it with an Executive order demanding businesses hire black teens and youth — something the Supreme Court we're now stuck with might actually uphold as part of an add on to Bakke. Which, would any of that really surprise anyone — particularly if the President and the media decided to cast any such executive order as a measure for "fairness" that helps overcome "racial-makeup inequality" in the work force and creates the social justice that comes from "employment redistribution"?
And would John Roberts be able to resist looking at how his Court's legacy would be gilded by such a bit of social engineering?
From our cold, dead arteries!
Ah, don't you just love sneering, self-styled multiculturalists who, when it comes down to brass tacks, are about as fair-minded, non-judgmental, and accurate in their internalized caricatures as was, say, Hitler? Or for you Godwin's Law adepts, at least John Kerry testifying about his fellow American soldiers?
"As a European this is how I imagine Americans have breakfast"
Fortunately, the comments are hilarious — and go a long way toward showing that Americans still have a sense of humor, about themselves, sure, but also (thankfully) against these pompous, whinging, effete Europeans, with their condescension and entitled temperaments forged in the daunting crucible of socialism and what can best be described as an ironic work ethic.
Plus, croissants. I mean, game over, right?
What I would have posted had I posted anything today:
I'm just speculating, but it probably would have been something along the lines of this: instead of just calling ourselves TEA Partiers, I think it's time we gather together a million or two disgusted citizens angry at the politicization of the IRS, which is now one of the police arms of the progressive left's soft coup, and dump a bunch of real tea into the Potomac.
But we'll make it free range green tea — made from nothing but self-sufficient wild herbs and harvested by wind gusts that carry the foliage to the edge of some reclaimed wood retaining wall inside a San Francisco commune — just to watch some heads explode.
Short of that, I guess we can always just curse, turn over, and go back to sleep. Which is what I did today.
Because why the hell not?
"Facebook cracks down on gun posts, sales"
Hey, isn't that Facebook guy one of the investors behind the whole "conservatives for Comprehensive Immigration Reform" movement?
Guess that means the "new conservatism," in addition to promoting cheap labor at the expense of an already depleted job market; and creating new Democratic voting constituencies to turn, by design, red states into purple states into blue states into welfare states, is now for suppression of speech targeted at those who haven't broken any laws.
And of course, removing social issues from campaigns, while pandering to ethnic pressure groups.
"Rep. Alvin Holmes says white Republican lawmakers would abort mixed-race grandchildren"
Racialist politics. It's tedious. It's predictable. It's ugly.
And what makes it so ugly is that it diminishes the depravity of real racism by diluting it with phony indictments and trivializing it with ridiculous and insupportable claims aimed at non-racists. To wit:
A debate Tuesday over a bill to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected turned to race after Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs, compared her bill to Brown vs. the Board of Education.
But during the debate, Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, said that his Republican colleagues would support abortion if their daughters were impregnated by black men."Ninety-nine percent of the all of the white people in here are going to raise their hand that they are against abortion," he said. "On the other hand, 99 percent of the whites who are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion."
That this tactic — opportunistic and cynical as it is — is now used by so many blacks, who not so long ago had to fight white southern Democrats over real racialist policy before they joined their party, makes it all the more appalling. And all the more tragic.
A note to Rep Holmes: it wasn't Republicans who were turning fire hoses on you, or promoting segregation, or fighting tooth and nail against the Civil Rights Act. So if you're in the mood to cast around for those who might find race-mixing worthy of infanticide, you might want to dig up old Margaret Sanger, or Bull Connor, or even Robert Byrd, and Al Gore Sr, and Fulbright, et al., and hash it out with them.
They'd almost have to listen, out of courtesy. Your being a contemporary representative of their party, and a race-baiter, to boot.
"Issa: Contempt Citation Against Lerner 'Has to Be Considered' "
Or, "the buck stops there."
Convenient. But hardly enough. I'm telling you, the GOP establishment would be exposed as complicit — either by commission or omission — in any serious independent investigation. Which is why we will never get one.
We'll get a few sacrificial lambs. And then be told justice was served. So it's time to Move On and Shut Up, or else risk being "unhelpful" yet again.
This is who they all are. This is what they all do.
But honestly, can there really be that many people left who this is fooling?
"Expected: WH to Extend Obamacare 'Fix' to Help Panicked Democrats Survive 2014″
I'd like to launch this post with a shortish monograph on how, per intentionalism, the very idea that by altering the law what Obama is doing is creating an entirely new text, not "reinterpreting" and existing text to allow it to incorporate all his changes — and by so doing, point out once again that the way we believe language operates is crucial to how we allow laws to function and control us — but that would just bore you, and we'd have to end up talking about egrets and thin-skinned elderly black men barking at unconsciously racist kids calling their dogs. So instead I'll just go with the specifics:
We knew this — yes, specifically this — was coming, and here it is:
The Obama administration is set to announce another major delay in implementing the Affordable Care Act, easing election pressure on Democrats. As early as this week, according to two sources, the White House will announce a new directive allowing insurers to continue offering health plans that do not meet ObamaCare's minimum coverage requirements. Prolonging the "keep your plan" fix will avoid another wave of health policy cancellations otherwise expected this fall. The cancellations would have created a firestorm for Democratic candidates in the last, crucial weeks before Election Day. The White House is intent on protecting its allies in the Senate, where Democrats face a battle to keep control of the chamber…Allowing insurers to continue offering noncompliant health plans for several years would substantially alter the health insurance landscape under ObamaCare. It would also undercut one rationale for the healthcare reform law. Under the Affordable Care Act, health plans are required to offer 10 medical benefits that the Obama administration deems essentia
The Hill is clearly correct that his move is aimed at providing nervous Congressional Democrats with a fig leaf on Obamacare. Its analysis that this extended "fix" will "avoid another wave" of cancellations isn't quite accurate, though. This maneuver will mitigate the next wave for some Americans, but many won't be granted a reprieve from Democrats' broken promise. A bipartisan group of state insurance commissioners and Attorneys General rejected this "keep your plan" band aid when it was first proposed by Obama, calling it unworkable and/or illegal. Health insurance companies prepared for years to offer plans that complied with Obamacare's new rules — and those rules haven't been altered or repealed. The administration has essentially said that they simply won't enforce them for a little bit longer. Just long enough, in fact, for some Americans to dodge cancellation notices scheduled for this coming fall. The pain will still come; it's just been pushed back a bit for some consumers.
Another important reminder is that Moody's credit agency downgraded the health insurance industry in January, citing the endless cycle of policy uncertainty caused by destabilizing political delays and "fixes." This turmoil may compel some companies to pull out of certain markets, and will almost certainly contribute to premium increases. Those who are covered by this "keep your plan" stay of execution will be allowed to maintain their "sub-standard" (in the White House's eyes) coverage, which entails fewer mandates and costs less. Insurers who do scramble to keep these plans intact are (a) spending resources to do so and (b) are taking a revenue hit as a result. Under Obamacare's model, these people are supposed to pay more to offset the new costs of insuring high-risk consumers with pre-existing conditions. Rather than absorb those new costs — profit margins are tight — they will be passed down and spread out across other consumers in the form of higher premiums or out-of-pocket expenses.
Ultimately, though, this gambit isn't about health coverage, helping people or righting wrongs. It's about handing Democrats across the country a thin reed of an excuse when the next batch of cancellations hit. "The president tried to make this right, but some states and greedy insurers refused to go along with this fix for the American people," they'll try to argue. This is bogus, and I strongly suspect it won't work. This administration wrote these rules in such a way that they knew tens of millions of people would lose their existing coverage, contra Obama's repeated promises. Republicans saw this problem coming years ago and offered a legislative correction to keep the pledge back in 2010. Democrats voted in lock-step to kill it. The catalyst behind the president's quasi-apology and "fix" idea was a ripple of abject panic among Democrats, who were getting pummeled by terrible headlines last fall. Many began to float freelance ideas to change Obamacare, several of which would have deeply undermined the law's viability. Obama's cobbled-together plan was pure damage control. The forthcoming extension is round two of said damage control. It's that simple. And why am I confident that it won't move the needle much? One of the Democrats who's been leaning on this Obama-crafted excuse is Sen. Kay Hagan, whose approval rating has tanked into the low-30′s, with Obamacare submerged in unpopularity among her state's voters. In other words, she's been clinging to this lifeline for months and it hasn't helped her. The president, meanwhile, is mocking Republicans. Why, when he so generously tries to "improve" Obamacare, the GOP calls him a tyrant, those hypocritical ingrates:
He's being smirkingly obtuse on purpose. Republicans are leveling two separate objections here: First, that Obamacare isn't working and needs to be changed and repealed, and second, that Obama is overstepping his authority by simply decreeing unilateral changes to a duly-passed piece of legislation. His administration has made one alteration after another, several of which have been deemed legally dubious by legal scholars and media types alike. Indeed, when the House passed a bill to delay the law's employer mandate (which Obama has now done twice, single-handedly), the White House threatened a veto.
This is always the way of the left: try to sneer off and ironize away the "hyperbolic" nature of the charges against them. Is Obama dressed in fatigues and sporting a Saddam 'stache? Is he speaking from balconies?
No. So how can he be a tyrant?
Typically, they go for form over function, perception over reality, and expect us all to play along — marking those of us who don't as throwbacks or constitutional fetishists. You know, students and adherents of the Enlightenment rather than Gramsci, et al.
But the truth is, from both a constitutional, separation of powers perspective — as well as from the linguistic perspective that I've pointed out repeatedly gives cover to this kind of lawlessness and creative rewriting of statutes that deconstruct original legislative intent — this is the very definition of dictatorship. That it has the support of a Senate that has worked to cede its power to the Executive, and a Court whose Chief Justice cares more about comity and his "legacy" as it will be written up by the New York Times, is immaterial.
That just means we have, as part of our governmental class, a cabal of ruling elites who have decided to use the law against us.
But we are a representative government. And just because the Courts have decided that the 9th and 10th Amendments don't hold legal sway does not mean we need accept that. Rather, it means we need to reform the courts and to reaffirm the sovereignty of the states and individuals.
This "law" is clearly being used to benefit some and not others. On its face, that makes equality before the law — a foundational principle of our republic — into a kind of passe joke.
We shouldn't accept it.
But I'll shut up now, because I'm having the urge to move into egret talk again. And, you know, wouldn't want to be caught with the clown nose on…
Frederick Warriors end of season Awards Banquet
Congrats to Satch, who took home "Grappler of the Year" at tonight's Wrestling Awards banquet. He's been fortunate to have some great coaching over the past couple years, from Joey Gardner to Sonny Yohn (Div I All-American, U of Minn) to Leister Bowling, himself a UFC grappling coach, coach on "The Ultimate Fighter," and former 3-time State Champion and Colorado State record holder for wins and take downs.
And of course me, some dude who learned a whole lot from Tony Cecchine, who is still the toughest man I've ever met.
Great job Satch and great job Warriors — whose 10 and under squad, which I was fortunate enough to help coach this year, took 3rd place in the All-State Team Awards!

Student's claim of being assaulted at school was "made up." Discipline? Suspension? Heaven Mythical afterlife place forbid!
A transgender teenager who said he was beaten and sexually assaulted in a California high school bathroom recanted the story, police said Tuesday.The 15-year-old student at Hercules Middle/High School "admitted he fabricated the whole story" during an interview with a detective, Hercules police Detective Connie Van Putten said. [...]
The change left open the possibility that the teen could be charged with making a false criminal report, she said.
Mario Trujillo, spokesman for the West Contra Costa Unified School District, said school officials are less concerned with punishing the student than making sure he gets the support he needs to feel safe and comfortable at school. [...]
"There is still an important piece of the story, which is that trans youth do face elevated levels of bullying and violence including physical assaults at school," said Carolyn Laub, executive director of the Gay-Straight Alliance Network. "Even if this particular story isn't true, the school's response, to put in place plans for bringing the community together and addressing school safety and climate, is a good outcome."
Oh where have we heard that Fake but Accurate meme before?
While the poor wittle hoaxer teen-girl-who-"identifies"-as-boy is being cosseted by such an enlightened school administration, an actual ten-year boy is suspended three days for the crime of not realizing his finger is a verbotten firearm
A central Ohio principal says she suspended a 10-year-old boy from school for three days for pretending his finger was a gun and pointing it at another student's head.The boy's father says he thinks it's the adults who are acting childish after the boy was suspended from Devonshire Alternative Elementary School in Columbus last week.
The fifth-grader said he was "just playing around." But district spokesman Jeff Warner tells The Columbus Dispatch (http://bit.ly/1jO1rL7 ) that Devonshire Principal Patricia Price has warned students about pretend gun play numerous times this year, and everyone should know the rules by now.
Black is white, up is down, Obama is playing rope-a-dope with Putin.
Yeah, baby.
The new tyranny of secularizing "sin"
So, you know all this brouhaha, all these hysterics about how bakers, and photographers, and other service-providers who routinely work for gay clientele (but draw a line at serving gay weddings because they feel it imperils their souls) are horrible people?
And you know the whole "if you think that way, then you're a bigot," thing, because governments and pundits have taken it into their heads that it is their job to define "sin" to another person?
And you know that whole, "refusing to serve someone because they think differently than you is all Jim Crow-y and immoral?"
Yeah, well…so much for that.
A gay stylist in Santa Fe refused to cut New Mexico Governor Susana Martinez's hair due to her stance on same-sex marriage. KOB-TV's Stuart Dyson reports.
A Santa Fe hairdresser is waging his own boycott of sorts: He is denying service to the governor of New Mexico because she opposes gay marriage.
Antonio Darden, who has been with his partner for 15 years, said he made his views clear the last time Gov. Susana Martinez's office called to make an appointment.
"The governor's aides called not too long ago wanting another appointment to come in," Darden told KOB.com. "Because of her stances and her views on this, I told her aides, 'no.' They called the next day asking if I'd changed my mind about taking the governor in, and I said 'no' again."
Martinez has said marriage should be between a man and a woman. Darden, who said he has cut the governor's hair three times, said he won't serve her unless she changes her mind about gay marriage.
Darden apparently feels that it would go against his own personal moral code — his individual conscience — to cut the governor's hair. He does not see this decision as an act of "intolerance." In his mind, he believes that to cut her hair would be to co-operate with evil — a kind of sin, if not against God, then against his own reason and beliefs. He may fear that serving to the governor could be misconstrued as an affirmation of her views.
And no one in the press is arguing differently on the governor's behalf. No one is suggesting that, by refusing to cut the hair of a person whose position is in alignment with the law, Mr. Darden is denying her a basic civil-right. Quite the opposite; many on social media are saying he is within his rights to refuse her.
I concur. If he is, though, then so are the Christians refusing to serve gay weddings. You can't have it both ways.
But sadly, you can. That's the beauty of adopting anti-foundationalism as your go-to philosophical stance: you are undaunted by accusations of inconsistency or hypocrisy; you reject the logical rigor reinforced by outmoded Enlightenment ideas that assume a kind of symmetry in thought; and you are allowed — as part of your philosophical and intellectual model — to just pick and choose your arguments based on the individual context.
Or, to put it another way, you grant yourself permission to change every intellectual rule on the fly, and advance sophistry as a kind of elevated, legitimate art form.
What we, as classical liberals, must do to combat such nonsense is not merely point out the hypocrisy, or the inconsistencies in logic, that make up the progressive's self-serving form of "pragmatism." Instead, we must simply refuse to comply — to engage in civil disobedience, and to bring our case to the American people when the government tries to run us out of business for insisting on our first amendment protections, even and especially if the courts, which have moved increasingly in the direction of activist superlegislatures granting themselves leave to act as philosopher kings and social engineers, rule against us.
Which brings us back to the states and the Article 5 conventions of the states process. The power of the government comes from our willingness to comply with its edicts. But once it rejects the rule of law in favor of selective enforcement and creating its own police state, in which the law is used as a weapon to beat back legitimate policy opposition, then what you have is tyranny, plain and simple.
I reject the lie of anti-foundationalism just as vehemently as I reject the institutionalization of a form of "interpretation" that is nothing of the sort, but rather is a will to power, a rule by consensus, a rejection of individual autonomy reinforced by an incoherent set of linguistic rules many on the right have been too blind to reject and too eager to internalize — creating the conditions for a steady movement leftward.
This movement is not accidental, nor is it incidental. It was planned and, under the current epistemological assumptions coming from the left we've allowed to take root, it is also inevitable, as I've been at pains to explain over the years here.
The time is coming when we will not have many choices left should we wish to preserve a representative republic. That's not hyperbole; it's fact. If we don't reject the left's institutional assumptions and refuse to abide them, we will have to find other ways to save ourselves.
Either that, or we sink into the morass of humankind's persistent lot, to be ruled over by those who assert a dominance over us, Eloi to their Morlocks, sheep to their wolves, Hillary to their Bills.
And that ain't my style.

HP updates the Pavilion HDX with Penryn
HP announced a CES revamp of its ubersize desktop replacement late last week. Now that Intel has unveiled its new line of laptop chips, we bring you more details and hands-on observations of this high-end laptop.
While some PC makers endeavor to make ever smaller and lighter machines, HP gets credit for going the other way, creating one of the largest laptops ever seen--the massive HDX. With a huge 20-inch display and weighing more than 15 pounds, the HDXis a glorious example of conspicuous consumption. Even better, unlike Dell's similar XPS M2010, HP continues to update the system regularly--the … Read more

Halo Headlines - 5/4/11
Daily Links for the LA Angels including Weaver named AL Pitcher of the Month, Weaver's pitch to Varitek should've been a strike, Abreu's patience is no longer an influence and much more...
The Story: Jered Weaver was named the AL Pitcher of the Month.
The Monkey Says: The only way he wouldn't have won was if there was voter fraud of North Korean proportions.
The Story: The tide-turning non-strike call Weaver had against Jason Varitek sure appears to be a strike.
The Monkey Says: Buck Foston.
The Story: Bobby Abreu's patience is no longer having an influence on the rest of the Angel lineup.
The Monkey Says: I know his presence had a great effect on the Angels in 2009, but I actually think this is a good thing. For the most part, the Angel regulars are action players similar to the ones Scioscia relied upon years ago. Walks are never a bad thing, but with too many guys trying to do something that they aren't cut out for, the lineup loses its identity.

Paula Abdul and five friends were seen dining al fresco Friday night at Meat Market. Overheard was one young fan, 10-year-old Aidan Singer, telling Abdul he was sad she left The X Factor, to which she replied "Aww, really? Come give me a hug." Also there: Paul Shaffer and his wife. On Saturday night, former Victoria's Secret model Karolina Kurkova had dinner with her family while The Real Housewives of New York City's Aviva Drescher did the same with her family.
Drake was seen Sunday afternoon, lounging around the Soho Beach House with a big entourage. On Sunday night he was at Prime 112 with that same entourage, as were Nicky and Paris Hilton along with Paris's boyfriend, Finnish/Spanish model River Viiperi and, separately, DJ Tiesto.
Paris and Viiperi were also seen Sunday on the rooftop of The Perry South Beach but not for long. Hilton was overheard saying it was "too cold and windy for her to stick around for very long," says our spy.
Miami Beach resident Christian Slater may have expressed a bit of disappointment when the paparazzi he thought were trailing him near the CVS were on the hunt for the Kardashians, but an even bigger buzzkill may be the fact that, according to the Huffington Post, his 2012 horror flick Playback earned the dubious honor of being the year's worst movie. Playback only played on theater for a week in March and earned $264, or, approximately 33 tickets sold.
Pauly Shore was spotted Friday night at The Forge, enjoying a casual dinner with longtime friend and the restaurant's owner, Shareef Malnik. There on Saturday, former Miami Heat Small Forward Jamal "Monster Mash" Mashburn and rapper Clifford "T.I." Harris were spotted entering the restaurant just after 5 p.m. It is rumored that the two had a business meeting at the bar, which opened early at their request. While they were in the building their two black Cadillac Escalades remained parked in front, manned by T.I.'s bodyguards. The vehicles and the security were a cause of many passersby to slow almost to a halt. One lady and her child even entered the restaurant, approached the duo and were able to have TI pose with the boy for a photo.
On Sunday night, Gabourey Sidibe was seen at The Forge with a group of 10 friends.
Karina Smirnoff was seen breaking a sweat Sunday at Equinox South Beach, and lounging at the rooftop pool at the Catalina, where she was hosting a NY Eve party.

Haxe is an open-source high-level multiplatform programming language and compiler that can produce applications and source code for many different platforms from a single code-base.[1] Code written in the Haxe language can be source-to-source compiled into Adobe Flash applications, JavaScript programs, C++ standalone applications (to some extent),[2] PHP, Apache CGI, and NodeJS server-side applications.[3][4]
Haxe includes a set of common functionality that is supported across all platforms, such as numeric data types, text, arrays, binary and some common file formats.[3] Haxe also includes platform-specific API, but as of 2012, it only supports a subset of the functionality available in each platform,[5] with only the Flash platform API fully usable. Haxe can also compile to Neko code, which runs in the Neko runtime created by the same developer.
Haxe was developed by Nicolas Cannasse and other contributors, and was named Haxe because it was short, simple, and "has an X inside", which the author humorously asserts is necessary to make any new technology a success.[6] Haxe is pronounced "hex"[7] (/hɛks/),[8] although the authors of the only published book on the language pronounce it "hacks".[9]
Development of Haxe was started in October 2005 and the first beta version was released in February 2006. Haxe 1.0 was released in April 2006, with support for Adobe Flash applications, and Haxe 2.0 was released in July 2006, adding support for Javascript programs.
Haxe is the successor to the open-source ActionScript 2 compiler MTASC, also built by Nicolas Cannasse,[10] and is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later.[11] Haxe has much in common with ActionScript 3. The Haxe compiler is developed in the OCaml language. No knowledge of OCaml is necessary to develop applications using Haxe.
To help leverage existing code, the open-source community has created experimental source code converters for the following languages:
Advantages to using Haxe include:
- Platform independence
- A fully developed high-level language
- Target devices that only support C++[7]
The Haxe compiler is separated into one frontend and multiple backends. The frontend is responsible for parsing and type-checking the input language, applying macros, general optimizations, various transformations, and for producing the intermediate representation of the code, the typed abstract syntax tree (AST). Each of the backends is responsible for translating that AST into either sourcecode or bytecode for the respective target.
The compiler is written in OCaml. It can be run in server-mode to provide code completion for IDEs and maintain a cache, to speed up compilation even more.[14]
The Haxe compiler is an optimizing compiler, and contains the following optimization features:
- Function inlining
- Constant folding
- Dead code elimination (DCE)
The performance of applications developed in Haxe varies depending on the target platform.
In the case of ActionScript 3, programs produced using the Haxe compiler usually run faster than programs produced using the old Adobe Systems Flex SDK compiler.[15]
However, using Action Script Compiler 2 (ASC2) and with proper code design [16] many have reported comparable performance. Especially that ASC2 is now an optimizing compiler (including inlining).
Platform support[edit]
The Haxe language can compile into bytecode for different virtual machines such as the Adobe Flash Player and Neko, and can generate source code in ActionScript 3, JavaScript, and includes experimental support for C++ and C#. This strategy of "compiling" to multiple source code languages is inspired by the write once, run anywhere paradigm. It also allows the programmer to choose the best platform for the job.
In Haxe, platforms are known as "targets", which are Haxe modules that provide access to core-APIs (language and bytecode targets), for the compiler-backends that are responsible for generating the respective code, and for runtimes with specific APIs that go beyond the core language support (platform-targets).
- Bytecode Targets - There are targets that produce bytecode (Neko, SWF, SWF8) that is being passed as-is to the respective runtime. Haxe API is available as well as platform specific features under the platform's namespace.
- Language Targets - There are targets that produce sourcecode (AS3, C++, C#, Java), that has to be compiled by a third-party compiler, or passed as-is to the respective runtime which compiles the code and executes it (JavaScript, PHP). Specific mechanisms exist to interact with low-level aspects of the target-language to ease development. Unsupported API can be added into Haxe files by embedding source code written in the target-language.
- External Modules - Extern type definitions ("extern class" in Haxe) allow to describe the types of platform-native APIs, as well as those of runtimes and libraries written in the target language, to the Haxe compiler, so that static type-checking can be applied.

Haxe is a general-purpose language with object-oriented programming, exceptions, and type inference with class parameters. Generic classes, reflectivity, iterators, and functional programming are built-in functionality of the language and libraries.[19] Unusual among programming languages, Haxe contains a type system which is both strong and dynamic. The compiler will check types implicitly and give compile-time errors, but it also enables the programmer to bypass type-checking and rely on the target platform's dynamic type-handling.
The Haxe language is similar to ECMAScript, although almost no ECMAScript code will run on Haxe without modifications. Unlike ECMAScript, Haxe is a compiled language. The Haxe language is inspired by ActionScript and C#, supporting features of both.
Since Haxe had its origins in ActionScript 3, all of the existing Flash API can be used, although Haxe requires better-formed code and programming standards than Adobe compilers (for example, with regard to scoping and data typing).
Type system[edit]
Haxe is a statically typed language. It has a rich type system that offers classes, interfaces, function/method types, anonymous types, algebraic data types (ADTs, called "enum" in Haxe), abstract types, and generalized algebraic datatypes (GADTs). Classes, ADTs, GADTs and function types allow parametric polymorphism based on type erasure, sometimes also called "Generics" in object oriented programming languages.
Bounded quantification is also part of the feature set: type parameters can be constrained to a set of zero or more types.
Haxe doesn't offer variance annotations for type parameters, the type constructors are always invariant in their parameter types.
Subtype polymorphism is supported via standard, single-inheritance.
Further, Haxe supports both structural typing and nominal typing. To ease the burden on the programmer, without sacrificing type safety, Haxe supports type-inference, which in many cases alleviates the need to write out types explicitly.
Function parameters can be defined very precisely in Haxe:
function multipleparams (threedimensionalarray : Array<Array<Array<Int>>>, stringval : String, boolval : Bool) { } // Optional int value returning an int. function optionalargument ( ?i : Int ) : Int { return 0; } // Call a function with no parameters. function functionasparameter ( f : Void -> Void ) { f(); } // Call a function that returns an int, with an int parameter. function anotherfunctionparm ( f : Int -> Int ) { var result = f(1); } // Function which takes any kind of type and returns it. function icoulddoanything (d : Dynamic) : Dynamic { return d; }
Classes (keyword "class") in Haxe are similar to those in e.g. Java or AS3. Their fields can be either methods, variables or properties, each static or per instance respectively. Haxe supports the accessors "public" and "private". as well as more advanced methods for access control (ACL, link), that are denoted using annotations. Methods and static variables of constant values can be inlined using the "inline" keyword.
Interfaces in Haxe are very similar to those in e.g. Java.
interface ICreature { public var birth:Date; public var name:String; public function age():Int; } class Fly implements ICreature { public var birth:Date; public var name:String; public function age():Int return Date.now().getFullYear() - birth.getFullYear(); }
Enumerated types[edit]
Enumerated types are a key feature of the language; they can have parameters of their own and be recursive.[20] They are similar to algebraic data types in languages like ML or Haskell. Enums in Haxe are not simply indexed "magic-number" values as in most languages, but are more abstract: they contain no inherent value, but can be instanced into variables as in this example:
enum Color { red; green; blue; rgb( r : Int, g : Int, b : Int ); } class Colors { static function toInt ( c : Color ) : Int { return switch ( c ) { case red: 0xFF0000; case green: 0x00FF00; case blue: 0x0000FF; case rgb(r, g, b): (r << 16) | (g << 8) | b; } } static function validCalls() { var redint = toInt(Color.red); var rgbint = toInt(Color.rgb(100, 100, 100)); } }
Enums (keyword "enum") in Haxe are commonly referred to as algebraic data types (short: ADT) in functional languages. Haxe also supports generalized algebraic data types (GADT).
Prominent uses for ADTs are e.g. Option, Either and List:
enum Option<T> { Some(v:T); None; } enum Either<T,U> { Left(v:T); Right(v:U); } enum ConsList<T> { Nil; Cons(head:T,tail:ConsList<T>); }
Anonymous types[edit]
Anonymous types are defined by denoting their structure explicitly, they can be given an alias by using a type definition (keyword "typedef"):
typedef Anon = { a:Int, b:String, c:Float->Void };
Function types[edit]
Functions are first-class values in Haxe. Their type is denoted by using arrows between argument types, and the argument type(s) and return type respectively, as common in many functional languages. However, unlike in prominent examples like Haskell or the ML-family of languages, not all functions are unary functions (functions with one argument only), and in Haxe, functions can't be partially applied per default. Therefore the following type signatures have different semantics than in the aforementioned languages. The type F is a function that takes an Int and a String as arguments, and returns a value of type Float.
The same notation in a language with unary functions only, would refer to a function that takes an Int as argument, and returns a function of Type String->Float.
Types F2 and F3 denote the same type. Both are binary functions that return a binary function of type F. For F3 the syntax to declare a function type within a function type is used.
typedef F = Int->String->Float; typedef F2 = Int->String->F; typedef F3 = Int->String->(Int->String->Float);
Abstract types[edit]
Abstract Types, along with GADTs are the latest addition to the Haxe type system. They allow to reuse existing types for specific purposes, like implementing types for units of measurement, to greatly reduce the risk of mixing up values of the same underlying type, but with different meanings (e.g. miles vs. km).
The following example assumes that the metric system is the default, while a conversion to miles is necessary for legacy data. Haxe is able to automatically convert miles to kilometers, but not in the opposite direction.
abstract Kilometer(Float) { public function new(v:Float) this = v; } abstract Mile(Float) { public function new(v:Float) this = v; @:to public inline function toKilometer():Kilometer return (new Kilometer(this / 0.62137)); } class Test { static var km:Kilometer; static function main(){ var one100Miles = new Mile(100); km = one100Miles; trace(km); // 160.935 } }
As the example shows, no explicit conversion is required for the assignment "km = one100Miles;" to do the right thing.
Structural typing[edit]
Structural typing plays a major role in many functional programming languages, and only to a much lesser extent in common OOP languages. Unlike in (exclusively) nominative type systems, the equality of two types isn't established by some kind of name tag, but rather by the structure of a type. Structural types can be thought of as implicit interfaces:
class FooBar { public var foo:Int; public var bar:String; public function new(){ foo=1; bar="2";} function anyFooBar(v:{foo:Int,bar:String}) trace(v.foo); static function test(){ var fb = new FooBar(); fb.anyFooBar(fb); fb.anyFooBar({foo:123,bar:"456"}); } }

Frequently Asked Questions
About Your Trip
What clothing is best for this part of the Americas?
It can get hot and sweaty here at times, so lightweight cotton (or quick-drying fabrics) is best as a starting point! Long sleeved shirts and trousers will help prevent mosquito bites, especially in the evenings when they could be buzzing around. You should also take a jacket and/or sweater for evenings, as it will cool down. Essential kit includes some sunglasses and a sunhat, along with good sunscreen. A lightweight waterproof jacket or rain poncho is optional, as you can get some tropical rain here now and again!
Karol Rogacki - Americas Operations
This trip goes to high altitudes where there is a risk of being affected by Acute Mountain Sickness. Our itineraries are designed to enable everyone to acclimatise to these altitudes, but you should be aware that it is still possible for you to be affected. Although rare, a number of medical conditions can also reduce your body's ability to acclimatise, and thus will affect your performance at altitude and make you more susceptible to AMS. If you are worried about any pre-existing condition (e.g. heart problems), or unsure of your physical ability, we recommend that you seek medical advice prior to booking.
Dan Cockburn - Product Manager
Is malaria a problem in the Amazon?
This trip visits the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin, please note that it is a malarial zone, and you should seek medical advice prior to travel as to whether to use a suitable malarial prophylactic. Yellow Fever vaccinations are also recommended when visiting the lower Amazon Basin.
Nomad Travel Clinics are experts in preparing people for travel, providing advice on vaccinations, anti-malarial and staying healthy whilst overseas. We have arranged a special 10% discount for Exodus passengers on any vaccinations that you may require!

Ecuador Specific Questions
Ecuador Country Guide (including plugs!)
Please visit the Exodus Travel Guide to Ecuador & the Galapagos Islands where you can find out what plugs they use, as well as more detailed Country information in the menu on the left of the page.
I'm travelling via the US, do I need a visa?
Most clients are eligible to travel via the US under the US Visa Waiver Programme, however to do this you must register for an ETA (Electronic Travel Authority). This must be done prior to departure - more details can be found at www.exodus.co.uk/usvisa.
Rebecca Caldicott - Customer Operations
Since US dollar is the official currency of Ecuador it is definitely the best option to go for. Sterling. although not necessarily very difficult to change. may incur a poor exchange rate. ATMs are becoming more common but you shouldn't rely on them 100% in case there are any problems. Exchanging travellers cheques could be a pretty time consuming operation.
Obtaining change for larger denomination banknotes (US$100 and US$50) can be very difficult, and in many cases they may not even be accepted (especially $100 notes) so our suggestion is not to bring them with you at all. You may find it strange but people in Ecuador (and other South American countries) could be a bit fussy about the condition of banknotes and may not be happy to accept a torn or heavily used note (the higher denomination, the more likely it is).
If flying to the Galapagos you will be asked to pay $110 in cash to cover for the immigration control card ($10) and Galapagos tax ($100). If you are sailing on the Cacholote, you will actually only need some money for alcoholic drinks on board (soft drinks $1.50, beer $2, cocktails $3-6), gratuities and souvenirs. You will need to take a bit more cash with you if you want to hire snorkelling equipment or a wetsuit on the boat. Cards or travellers cheques are not accepted on board the yacht and ATMs in the Galapagos are very limited.

Went up there today (Saturday). The water was perfectly calm, which apparently, is bad for whitefishing. It seems you need at least a 3 feet chop and for the wind to be blowing in your face, as the whitefish are skittish. They had a pretty good day Friday, with many caught, and looks like the Night Fisherman crushed them.All that was caught today by the 50 or so people were a couple of suckers, and a 30 inch lake trout. Not one whitefish. My friend and I did manage to catch some nice perch though.

The Olathe Pirates were full of confidence heading into Saturday's 3A District 3 baseball tournament at Hotchkiss. They'd finished the season with a 14-5 record and in third place in the Western Slope League.
Their season started off slow, but ended with a seven-game win streak, culminating in two big wins over Cedaredge. "Those were the two best games we played all year," said pitcher Willy Corey. "That was a great confidence-builder."
That the Pirates have experience in 11 seniors who had grown up playing ball together was also a confidence-builder. "I have a great defense backing me," said Corey.
Olathe had split a doubleheader against Hotchkiss, and knew that the tournament, that included No. 20 Peak to Peak (12-7) and No. 29 Centauri (7-12), would likely come down to the two local teams.
The Pirates' main concern was Bulldog pitcher Edgar Macias. "We know what kind of pitching they have," said Pirates head coach Darren Sofka. "But you don't know what to expect in this kind of situation."
In the opening game, the Bulldogs held off 29th-seeded Centauri after the Falcons scored two runs in the top of the seventh, with the tying run on second and the winning run on first. But Macias threw a strike out to end the game at 3-2. It should have been an easy win. It was a case of first-game jitters, said head coach Jason Yantzer. "Not bad, but they didn't play to their full potential."
The Pirates overcame a 2-run deficit to score 13 runs in the fourth and defeat Peak to Peak, 15-5.
In the final game, Olathe held a 2-1 lead after the first, with Bulldog Jacobe Galley sprinting from second to home on a single by Edgar Macias in the bottom of the fourth to tie the game at 2.
In the fifth, the Pirates capitalized on Bulldog errors to advance runners to second and third, and scored on a fly ball by Corey to right field. The Bulldog defense failed to communicate, and missed the easy out. Corey scored Ronnie Mumm, and with two outs, Olathe scored two more runs on well-placed hits to the outfield to take a 5-2 lead heading into the bottom of the fifth.
With one out in the top of the sixth, Pirate Aaron Handke fired up the Pirates with a double that landed just inside the fence.
"That was the turning point, right there," said Corey.
Pinch runner Bryan Leu advanced to third on a passed ball, then tagged on a fly out by Mumm for the final run.
It was those little mistakes that would be the Bulldogs' undoing. At this level, said head coach Jason Yantzer, "The team with the fewest amount of errors, wins."
Yantzer credited his team for a great season and an 18-3 record.
Olathe (16-5) will face No. 5 Trinidad (14-7) this Friday in Greeley.

Dr. Nizar Hussain gets 12 months, judge suspends sentence
A Woodbridge doctor who is accused of sexually assaulting some of his patients pleaded no contest to charges of assault and battery Wednesday, but avoided jail time.
Police say that Dr. Nizar Hussain, a Ph.D. in internal medicine, allegedly touched five female patients at his office at Ridgeview Internal Medicine.
A Prince William County judge sentenced Hussain to a suspended sentence of 12 months in prison.
That means if he behaves appropriately and stays away from his victims, he will not serve any time in jail.
One of Hussain's victims, who was in the courtroom when the sentence was read, burst into tears after the judge announced the punishment. They say they are not happy with the justice system.
"He walks out of this courtroom today with no remorse, back to his home, back to his family, and the rest of us will be reliving this for the rest of our lives," a victim said.
The judge said that he believes the sentence is appropriate since Hussain lost his license to practice medicine.
The incidents happened between March and November of this year, police say.
On Sept. 14, a 36-year-old Fredericksburg woman told police Hussain touched her inappropriately. In a second incident, a 54-year-old Manassas woman told police that he had kissed her.
Some of Hussain's patients have come to his defense, including one woman who wrote a letter vouching for his character and questioning the motives of his accusers.
Hussain faced charges of assault, battery and sexual battery. He had 12 victims, according to the board of medicine.
One of the victims, who testified, said she now has trouble sleeping and often feels sick to her stomach. She said she trusted Hussain and he betrayed that trust by taking advantage of her.
"He's a predator and if there's anyone else out there that needed to come forward, they should," a victim said.
The victim said that while she suffers, he will walk out and put it all behind him. At least if he were in prison, he could be trapped like she is, she said.
The victims would not comment on whether they plan to file civil suits.
Hussain did not say a word throughout the hearing and his defense attorney said they had no comment.

The Buccaneers' manhood was restored in a big way in Tampa Bay's 26-20 triumph over New Orleans. Head coach Raheem Morris deserves credit for an outstanding coaching job to get his players to bounce back and remain atop the NFC South with a victory that gives the team a 4-2 record heading into this week's trip to London to face the Chicago Bears.
The popular saying of our times is "Man Up." Politicians are using it. Commercials are using it. For God's sake there is even a television sitcom series coming this fall called "Man Up."
Well, our Buccaneers embodied the "Man Up" wave taking over the nation as they made a comeback of manhood and returned to Buc Ball.
Tampa Bay's "Great Wall" offensive line, the great decision making of quarterback Josh Freeman, the running game sans LeGarrette Blount and starring Earnest Graham, the stingy nasty defense, and hello world … a passing game!
After a demeaning beating last week, where Bucs fans saw their team fatally force the issue and prove to the world they indeed had a passing game, Tampa Bay regrouped, buckled down, and came out swinging against the New Orleans Saints. Adjustments had to be made to the Buccaneers passing game. From preseason to the regular season the Bucs had struggled to create a true passing game. In Sunday's 26-20 victory over the Saints, the Bucs found their passing game. But they also found much more. They found their swag again and they regained their manhood.
Football is a game that forces you to see what you are made of. Football is a sport that forces you to look into the mirror. Football is a culture that drives you to do gut checks. Our Buccaneers reached down and came out showing the world that punks they are not, and they ain't nobody's chump. When a team is beaten the belittling way the 49ers beat the Bucs last week, either they can fold up and feel sorry for themselves or they can take it personal and come out roaring. The Bucs roared.
Head coach Raheem Morris is a young man that has a chip on his shoulder, a cloud of ego over his head, and a confidence braggadocio that seeps out of his pores. These qualities give the Bucs swagger, a trait Morris learned from growing up in New Jersey and traits that peaked by being around gritty and proud coaches the like of Mike Tomlin, Rod Marinelli, and Jon Gruden. These coaches all beat on their chests and pounded on the ground with a calling cry that says, "I am man."

6 Things Not to Read in Any BookMost of us grew up with the rule that if you open up a book, you finish it. Now, of course, we have lives. Here are six things to skip or skim—with zero guilt.
To Skip: The Meat-of-an-Idea BookSome books float into the universe one day and take over the conversation of our entire world, from the Sunday school picnic to the family reunion. For example, "thinking without thinking" in Malcolm Gladwell's Blink or "eating with almost no carbs" in The South Beach Diet. I'm curious about these ideas. I want to chat about them over rosé with neighbors. But I don't want to read 300 pages about them, including the research that led to them or the three or four lesser-known applications that they've inspired in the scientific community. So unless you're giving a lecture on the topic, let's all give ourselves permission to buy idea books and read about the main ideas—which, conveniently, are usually exquisitely summarized in a long prologue or introduction—and then skip all the elaboration, even if you happen to find it astonishingly smart (see: Blink).
