POTENTIALLY deadly blue-green algae has been found on Windermere.
The Environment Agency says it has found evidence of an algal bloom at Low Wray Bay, prompting South Lakeland District Council to issue a warning.
The authority said anyone using lakes, rivers and reservoirs should treat all blue-green algae blooms with caution and contact should be avoided as skin rashes and illness may occur if the water is swallowed.
Farmers and pet owners should also prevent livestock and animals coming into contact or drinking the affected water, as it can sometimes prove fatal for animals.
SLDC's environmental health team leader, Tracy Howard, said: "Blue-green algae can potentially make people feel quite ill if swallowed or even by just swimming in it.
"We just want people to be aware of the affects and are asking people to be extra careful and vigilant when using the lakes and rivers for recreational purposes during the summer months.
"The public should observe any notices near affected areas and avoid contact or drinking the water."
Many waters are vulnerable to problems with the algae, typically between June and November.
Experts say all blue-green algal blooms should be assumed to be toxic.
The blooms vary in colour from discoloured green, blue-green, greenish brown, or reddish brown.
Further information about blue-green algae can be found on the Environment Agency's website at www.environment-agency.gov.uk
The eight short-listed design teams have been announced for a competition to redevelop the Windermere Steamboat Museum on the shores of Windermere.
The Lakeland Arts Trust recently secured initial support for a £7.4m Heritage Lottery Fund bid, including £494,000 development funding, to take the project forward. The project aims to create an exciting and active museum which will use the lake and the lakeside setting to display the nationally significant collection of steam launches, motor boats, yachts and other vessels which are all associated with Windermere.
The first stage of the competition attracted 114 expressions of interest. The short-list (in order of the architect leading the multi-disciplinary design team) is as follows: Carmody Groarke; Adam Khan Architects; Niall McLaughlin Architects; Terry Pawson Architects; Reiach and Hall Architects; 6a Architects; Sutherland Hussey Architects; Witherford Watson Mann Architects.
Martin Ainscough, Chairman of the Lakeland Arts Trust, commented: "We are very encouraged by the quality of entries in the architectural competition and the judging panel had a difficult decision to select the final eight for the shortlist. We are looking forward to working with the successful practice to create a world class facility in the heart of the Lake District.."
Gordon Watson, the trust's chief executive, added: "We are looking for a fresh, well-detailed and sensitive response for the stimulating and highly significant site on Windermere and to display the museum's wonderful collection of boats."
The second stage of the competition will seek design concepts for the project. Architects will need to take into account the requirement of displaying the boats and other items in the collection in the exhibition space and wet dock, and enabling visitors to see the boats being restored in the conservation workshop, as well as designing an appropriate facility for the location to provide a world-class visitor experience.
The design proposals will be subject to public display and comment in late October 2011 and the design teams will be invited to present their schemes to the jury panel at final interviews in late November 2011.

What's cooler than hittin' switches? Don't believe me, check this out. How many of you out there have office chairs that adjust up and down? Now how many of you have set the chair as high as it goes, and then pulled on the lever acting like you were in a Lo-Lo or a bagged car? Exactly, guilty as charged! It's just cool to hit switches, and that goes if you're in the in the car doing it, or just looking at a laid out car. On top of that there's still a handful of other benefits to running an air-bagged car. In the past bagged cars were seen as something totally for looks, not for performance or ride quality, but the truth is that an air-bagged car can be the full package and more, especially an Air Ride Technologies equipped 4th Gen Camaro.
When it comes to running an Air Ride Technologies system there are several benefits. For starters, you have the ability to adjust the ride height at any time with the flick of a button. And for any of you who have ever driven a lowered 4th Gen, then you know all about the turn to the left turn to the right routine when its time to pull into a driveway, or dip just to keep the Pinocchio like nose from scraping. With a little air those days are long gone. On the performance side of things, the bags perform above and beyond. With the option of running various air pressures the user is controlling the rate of the spring, which is crucial for fine tuning at a track day or autocross event. Taking things one step further the Camaro kit uses an Air Ride Technology AirStrut, a one-piece air bag and shock absorber setup. For even more fine tuning the AirStrut features a 12-way adjustable knob to control the stiffness of the shock absorber. That means the knob can adjust the AirStrut for ride quality or it can be bumped up for more aggressive driving. Speaking of ride quality, the air bags ride awesome. They don't bounce all over the place, yet they aren't too soft to where it feels like a floating '72 Caddy. When it comes to the Air Ride Technologies kit you really can't go wrong. They have spent time engineering the kit to include factors such as performance and ride quality, as opposed to just the convenient, and cool factor of an air bag system.
For the 4th Gen Camaros Air Ride Technologies has a complete system. Up front the AirStrut takes the place of the factory coilover setup. The AirStrut bolts right in using all the factory mounting points. In the back Air Ride has designed a simple bracket that mounts the F9000 air spring in place of the factory coil spring. The third part of the system is the compressor system. Air Ride offers several different systems; we decided to go with the new RidePro e 2 system. The RidePro e 2 system is an electronic compressor control system. The system features new voltage based air pressure sensors that electronically read bag pressures and air tank pressure. The system also features a ride-height-on-start function, which means when the vehicle is started the system will automatically raise the car to the highway ride height preset on the controller. The system has three user programmable one touch ride height presets, the second preset is the highway preset, that are accessed via the control panel. On top of that all of the wires feature plug-n-play weatherproof OEM style connectors.
At first thought one might think installing an air ride system would consist of a lot of slicing and dicing, but the truth is the Air Ride Technologies system is 100% bolt-in. In fact the front install is easier than putting in a set of drop springs! All you do is bolt the kit in, plug in a few wires, tap into an ignition wire and air the car up. Ideally, the kit can be installed in a day, but we'd have to say go ahead and slot in two days to do the install, and that's at most. For our install we headed out to Hot Rides by Dean in Moorpark, CA. Owner Dean Sears has been around since the start of the Air Ride craze, which made his shop the perfect candidate to ensure a clean, safe and long lasting install in our 4th Gen guinea pig.

This weirdo has been surfacing at a school in our area. My point of posting this isn't so much about the guy and his "ministry," but about one of the quotes from one of the supporters of him. No, I couldn't make this up.
"Most of the people at the library said they agreed with much of Dean's presentation. One woman said his message should be in the schools to counter other teachings.
'Is it the school's job to talk about homosexuality and how it's OK?' said one woman. 'I said to people this would happen when they started bringing in yoga and stuff like that — slippery slope'."

Writing Something
Well I promised to myself that I will write so here I am, writing.
I am currently tied to the bed, I caught some kind of a virus so you could say I have all the time in the world to fill up this pages with anything that crawls up to my mind. So lets see…
Recently I've begun making a lot of changes with my life. I moved to a bigger and much nicer apartment with my friend and are currently looking for another roommate. I also gave two of my turtles away to a student at a veterinary university, broke up with my girlfriend, and started throwing away all kind of stuff that I've gathered over the years for it would seem no good reason what so ever.
All in all I am trying to live an active life instead of procrastinating everything. A friend of mine even got me running every morning… which is probably where I caught this virus. Well better immunity system long term I suppose : )
Hmm… not sure what else to add, other than that my eyes are burning after staring in the laptop for only couple of minutes hehe
Well I will just go get some good rest and write again soon.

From the start
I spent a long time thinking about how I was going to start this blog off. I really wanted to hit it with a BANG! You know what I mean?
Well, in the months since I registered this name and started thinking about the BANG that I was going to deliver to the internet, I did a grand total of nothing.
Trying to be great was meaning that I wasn't doing anything at all. I was sitting around trying to be smart and exciting without actually doing anything smart or exciting.
So, I came up with a new game plan – just write.
Just write something.
It doesn't have to be smart, clever, funny, or exciting. It just has to be something. And you know what? It feels really good. No more procrastination. No more delays. JUST GET IT UP THERE.
I've committed to writing at least one thing a week from now on to try and get over the habit of doing nothing. The articles are just going to be things that are happening in my life, nothing amazing, but they will be me talking about what it's like to grow up as the first generation after the Manhattan Project.
Oh, and for everyone who's wondering why I chose the name, it's because Major Leslie Groves was a distant relative of mine and I've always had a fascination with the power, beauty, and destruction of nuclear energy.
Thanks for reading! I'll post more up tomorrow.
So that's where I am right now – writing something.

Did You Know there are Christmas Trees in Sydney???!?!?!?!?!
I looooove Christmas so much. So much so that when somebody asks me what day it is, my first thought is always, "It is 115 days until Christmas." Before I finally say, "I have no idea. Probably Wednesday. It never seems to stop being Wednesday…"
So last Wednesday, I was talking to my mom about Christmas plans this year, and I know it seems a little too early but planning it is our favorite part and it gives us an excuse to drink wine alone (technically), and get through this top ten list. I'm on number seven
We got to talking, and my mom brought up how difficult it was to find a decent tree last year. How dad had to drive three hours to some random tree farm (tree farm?) in the middle of nowhere, and buy the last tree from some buck-toothed, wizened old lady who only spoke in rhyme and the letter "e." For triple the original price I might add. Anyway, blah, blah blah, she went on forever! Until finally she ended it by saying, "I just think it would be easier if we picked up one of those plastic trees this year. What do you think?"
What do I think? What. Do. I. Think? I think not, that's what I think. But mom was set in her decision, further iterating that dad was getting to old to make such a trip. It was too hard on his back. Now, I love my dad. And it's true, nowadays whenever he goes in an elevator he comes out winded at the top as if it was he and not a machine that brought him up forty flights.
I hung up the phone determined to find a way to have real pine needles stabbing me in the foot on Christmas morning. So I took to the Internet and after hours of searching, playing Despicable Me and watching Netflix, I came up with the perfect plan. I am going to move to Australia dammit. I found this business called Christmas Tree Man and their amazing website that delivers Christmas trees in Sydney – they install and even decorate too! Although I think I'll handle the popcorn string. It looks like this Christmas I will be boxing kangaroos for the best fir.

What the Heck is a Monetization Strategy?
I've only just realised that blogging is pretty much a huge deal these days. There are people out there making some serious bank out there with their blogs. How did I figure this out? Let me tell you the story. One day I was browsing around facebook and an old friend of mine from high school saw that I had started this blog. He hit me up in the messages and after a little banter (How are you doing?, It's been so long! You got married!?) etc. We talked a little bit about my blog and then he asked me very matter-of-factly what was my monetization strategy.
My mone-what? He said my monetization strategy. I could detect his impatience through my phone. You know, ads, affiliate products and so on. I said, pretty sheepishly, that I hadn't given any thought to a monetization strategy for this blog yet. He then replied with "Whaaat?! Dude you are so missing out!!" Apparently he also has a blog that's making him quite a bit of money and has decided to flip it for an obscene amount of money. He was definitely on to something. So I did tonnes of research (by tonnes I mean a couple hours of google searching) and I am now an expert on all things internet. Here's what I learned:
A monetization strategy is pretty much any way you choose to make money from your blog. You can host ads with Google Adsense and make money every time someone clicks on your ads. You could host private ads where people actually pay you for your ad space. You could also sell affiliate products with Clickbank or Amazon. Every time someone clicks through your link and buys something you get a commission. You could also create your own digital or physical products and sell them to people, you collect all the profit. You can be really creative because the possiblities of monetizing your blog are practically endless. If you've established a good monetization strategy then you can think about flipping your site, like my friend did.
Site flipping is basically the process of building (or buying an existing) website, improving it and then selling it. I know what you're thinking, "That sounds a lot like house flipping!" Well it is! You know what they say, a website is like your own little piece of internet real estate.
You'd be surprised at the number of people buying and selling websites, and making a shit-tonne of money in the process. It's so common in fact, that there are many marketplaces solely for buying and selling websites (and domains).
If you're someone that enjoys projects, then site flipping may be for you. Not everyone has the patience or inclination to maintain a website for their entire life. They like the thrill! I'm sure it must be pretty exciting to build websites, watch them grow and then sell them for a huge ROI (Return on Investment).
There are also people who may own a website for a while and it may have been their baby, but then their interests evolved or they just got sick of it like my old high-school friend. In any case, many of these people let their websites simply expire, their hard work lost to the ages forever. What a shame. Maybe if they knew about marketplaces like Flippa, they could sell their blog and make a healthy sum, assuming it was monetized. Cha Ching! I'm gonna start using that word alot more lately
While Flippa and other marketplaces are great, sometimes it's better to sell your website privately through a website broker. Sounds fancy right? They're like realtors for websites and they earn a commission based on their sales. A website broker will negotiate with a private buyer and come up with a good selling price for your site.
Remember, they earn based on commissions which means that happier you are, the happier they are! This is opposed to auction websites where people are simply trying to get the best deal. If you have spent a great deal of time building your blogs or websites and want to know that you aren't only getting compensated for the "metrics" of your site, but also the blood, sweat and tears you put in to build a community and a solid recurring income, then going with a website broker is probably your best bet. You can learn all about hiring and working with a website broker from this article.
If you create simple websites, build them just enough to be slightly profitable and have decent statistics, then auction sites may be for you. It's all down to your personal preference and what works for you as an individual. If so, Flippa is perfect for you and you could make a decent ROI with it.
If you've decided that site flipping is something you want to try out, or maybe you just think it's time to move on from your own blog or online business (hey! It happens!), then I encourage you to do your research and don't jump in blindly!
Right now for me though, I'm really happy with my little blog. And I'm not sure if I'm ready for any fancy monetizing just yet. If you're actually reading this, then I'm happy because it means someone is actually spending their time to read my thoughts! Yay me! Thanks for visiting! If you have your own blog, let me know your fancy monetization strategy if you have one.

I'm going to get faaaaat
My new roommate bakes cookies and creates amazing cakes nearly every day!
And its kind of strange because she hates cooking. But she loves making such sweet, delicious things. Not only delicious to be precise, she arranges and decorates them perfectly so the cake looks like its going to be in a magazine. At that point I generally come along and make sure it doesn't.
When her friends have birthday sometimes she makes several cakes at which point she asks for assistance. At that point our relationship turns to that of a mother and a clumsy child. I never have any idea what am I doing and I always end up messing things up, and eating the ingredients… lots and lots of ingredients.
Well I suppose I am still good for washing the dishes, so I've got that going for me. Oh, I just realized I do all the cleaning around the house. I vacuum, I mop the floor, make the bathroom shine, wash the windows…
I would be very upset right now if my belly wasn't full of sugary joy. I guess I can't complain since this is pretty much my payment for cleaning duties.
I need to go now, there's some cake left from two days ago and you know, I can't let it spoil…

Time to upgrade my website?
So I just got a tablet for my birthday and I am having trouble getting used on it. Its some kind of drawing tablet, I like to scribble all kinds of things that pop into my head so its actually really great present idea. Except I've no idea how to use it…
I suppose I will just keep at it until I get better, perhaps organize charades and use only tablet to draw on. Or practice my signature so people could actually be able to read it. I would be such a great doctor…
I tried to use it to upgrade this site but it didn't get me very far.. I was going through this guide on how to make a website looking for tips to make this site really good and every time I tried to open a new page, I accidentally closed the whole browser down! I'm so useless some times.
Speaking of technology I got to drive around a huge remotely controlled airplane yesterday. It was rather scary and I was afraid I am going to crash it, but I kept flying around and it was a ton of fun… until I crashed it. I currently don't have enough money to buy or perhaps fix it somehow so I will visit my friend today, bring a duct tape with me and my biggest puppy eyes. He have a great sense of humor so hopefully all will go as planed.
In general I am a technological dumb ass. Sometimes I cannot find something on this insanely complicated TV so I go disturb my neighbors kids to do it for me. It makes me a great person as their parents thank me for spending quality time with them. I am such a lovely lass.

Progress and Fun times
So I haven't written again in a little while but I have a good excuse.
First of all I got an awesome job in an art museum as a guide which is just amazing and I simply LOVE it there.
Second of all I've been running more and more! I don't have to ask every two minutes for a five minute brake so I could catch some breath. I feel like I am in great shape, I look great, and I feel very happy with my life right now.
I also went to Lady Gaga's concert recently which was again, just amazing : D Except for the part when we ran out of gas and we had to wait for someone to pick us up so we could get to the gas station. Or the part when we lost each other and couldn't hear anything over the phone. Or the part when I pretty much got trampled by a crowd… but all in all great experience : D
Oh I nearly forgot the best part! My friend has arachnophobia, which in general is terrible. Especially when you hear random screams in middle of the night and your friend drags you out of your very comfortable bed to deal with it. Anyway, as I was driving back from concert suddenly I heard the most horrifying scream of my life and from fear started swirling all over the road till I managed to stop. I asked my friend what the hell is she screaming for, with complete terror in her eyes she just pointed on a tiny little spider on her pants while shaking around trying to get him off. That little fella really gave us a night to remember.

The feature in question is the notation for anonymous functions: the underscore. It seems that in Scala
_ (just underscore) is the abbreviation for the identity function
f => f
((_:Integer).intValue) is the abbreviation for
((x:Integer) => x.intValue)
(Integer.valueOf(_)) abbreviates
(x => Integer.valueOf(x))
anObject.method(_ ~ xxx ~ yyy) is the abbreviation of
anObject.method(f => f ~ xxx ~ yyy)
Let us briefly review the Montagovian semantics of natural languages. A declarative sentence such as
(1) John saw Mary.denotes a proposition, which is true just in case a person denoted by the name John indeed saw a person denoted by the name Mary. We can write the proposition as a formula in the Simple Theory of Types (STT):
(2) see mary johnwhere
mary and
john are individuals (of the type
e) who go by the names Mary and John, respectively;
see , the meaning of the transitive verb `see', is a function symbol of the type
e -> e -> t . Here
t is the type of propositions. (In Church's STT, the type
e is called
i and the type
t called
o . For some reason, Montague renamed the types).
Let us consider a sentence
(3) It was Mary who John saw.or, simpler
(4) Mary, John saw.We'd like to write a logical formula representing the meaning of (4). We would like our semantics to be compositional: the meaning of a sentence should be composed from the meaning of its parts. Thus, we have to determine the meaning of the part ``John saw.'' A transitive verb requires two arguments: first an object, then a subject. The phrase ``John saw'' seems to be missing an object. To handle such phrases -- verb phrases (VP) missing a component -- linguists have introduced a so-called `trace', often written as an underscore. The trace is assumed silent (not pronounced). Thus the sentence (4) is to be written
(4') Mary, John saw _.
The sentences with traces are common. Examples include raised questions and relative clauses:
(5) Who did John see _. (6) I know whom John saw _. (7) The person John saw _ ran away.Some theories of quantifier scope use trace to explain how a quantifier word such as `someone' influences the meaning of -- `takes scope over' -- the entire sentence. This so-called `quantifier raising' posits that a sentence such as
Alice thinks someone left.should be analyzed as if it were
someone (Alice thinks _ left).
It seems like a good idea to take the meaning of ``John saw _'' to be
(8) fun x -> see x johnThe meaning of (4') then can be composed from the meaning of its components as
(9) (fun x -> see x john) maryA beta-reduction then gives us (2). Chomsky might say that the transformation from the surface form of the utterance (4') to the logical, hidden form (2) involves a movement of Mary into the position occupied by the trace.
We now face the question of the meaning of trace and using that meaning to compositionally derive (8) from ``John saw _.'' We observe that ``John saw _'' looks like ``John saw Mary'' with ``Mary'' taken out. Therefore, ``John saw _'' is a context , a term with a hole; trace denotes the hole. Continuations are the meanings of contexts. Since ``John saw _'' is a sub-phrase of the larger sentence (4'), our context is partial -- or delimited, -- with a delimited continuation as its meaning. A delimited continuation can be captured by a delimited control operator
reset (see (shift (fun k -> k)) john)indeed reduces to
fun x -> see x johnTherefore, we may take the meaning of trace to be
(shift (fun (k -> k)) . To type that expression, we need shift with the answer-type modification.
The topic of delimited control in natural languages is discussed in great detail by Chung-chieh Shan in a book chapter ``Linguistic Side Effects.'' He analyzes more complex sentences, for example:
(10) Who _ saw his mother?
A pronoun could be treated like a trace. The sentence (10) hence exhibits three components with side-effect: the question word, the trace, and the pronoun. Chung-chieh Shan explains their interactions.
Coming back to Scala, it seems that
_ is the trace and the expression boundary is a reset.
It is remarkable that natural and programming languages can inform each other. Consciously or not, Scala seems like the best example of such mutual development.
The calculus lets us express standard covert movements and anaphoric-like references (analogues of overt movements) in types -- as well as describe how the context can block these movements.

To safely combine the continuation hierarchy with quantification, we give a precise logical meaning to often used informal devices such as picking a variable and binding it off. Type inference determines variable names, banishing ``unbound traces''.
Quantifier ambiguity arises in our analysis solely because quantifier words are polysemous, or come in several strengths. The continuation hierarchy lets us assign strengths to quantifiers, which determines their scope. Indefinites and universals differ in their scoping behavior because their lexical entries are assigned different strengths. PPs and embedded clauses, like the main clause, delimit the scope of embedded quantifiers. Unlike the main clause, their limit extends only up to a certain hierarchy level, letting higher-level quantifiers escape and take wider scope. This interplay of strength and islands accounts for the complex quantifier scope phenomena.
We present an economical ``direct style'', or continuation hierarchy on-demand, in which quantifier-free lexical entries and phrases keep their simple, unlifted types.

The accompanying source code to verify the analyses described in the paper and compute the denotations.
The code is in Haskell, in the tagless-final style.
We describe the relationship between the surface form of a sentence
and its meaning as two non-trivial but mechanical interpretations of
the same (hidden) abstract form. Our approach, in the tradition of
abstract categorial grammar (ACG), deals with several languages: The
A is the language of abstract form; the language
I is the
language in which we write a compositional interpreter of
A, which
produces a term in a language
T. The language
A is simply-typed
lambda-calculus with constants.
A syntactic interpretation
Isyn gives a surface form for a sentence
corresponding to
Tsyn is a set of strings or utterances. This
interpretation is responsible for word order, case marking,
subject-verb agreement, etc. Therefore,
A is abstracted from these
syntactic details.
A can be determined from
Tsyn by parsing. If
the abstract language is simple -- that is, its constants have types
of low order -- parsing is tractable. This is the case for our ACGs.
A semantic interpretation
Isem computes the meaning of
A as a logical
Tsem is thus the language of predicate logic.
deals with quantifiers, pronouns, question words and
their interactions. Our
Isem interpreter is non-trivial:
it may fail. Although we may parse a sentence to an
abstract form, we may fail to compute any meaning for it, if the
sentence just `doesn't make sense'. Our
Isem is not a regular
lambda-calculus: it expresses computational effects such as mutation
and continuations, and it is not normalizable. The interpreter
Isem :: A -> Tsem may be represented as a composition of two
I1 :: A -> T1 and
I2 :: T1 -> Tsem for some
intermediate language
T1. A complex transformation may be assembled
from simpler steps.
The computational effects let us express in a modular fashion the interaction of a phrase with its context, and analyze different scopes of quantifiers and scoping islands.
Abstract Categorial Grammar (ACG) is a grammar formalism based on typed lambda-calculus. The syntactic side of ACGs -- parsing algorithms, generative power and other formal-language--theoretical properties -- is under active investigation. ACGs can also elegantly model syntax-semantics interface and compute truth conditions. This semantic side of ACGs has received much less attention.
We describe a generalization of ACGs that lets us give the standard dynamic-logic account of anaphora and analyze quantifier strength, quantifier ambiguity and scope islands. Most of these ACG analyses have not been possible before; prior ACG analyzes of quantifier ambiguity required type lifting, hence higher-order ACGs with very high parsing complexity.
Our generalization to ACG affects only the mapping from abstract language to semantics. We retain all ACG benefits of parsing from the surface form. By avoiding type lifting we keep the order of the abstract signature low, so that parsing remains tractable.
The generalization relies on `applicative functors', which extend function applications. The fact that applicative functors compose lets us take the full advantage of modularity and compositionality of ACGs. We assemble the semantic mapping from separate, independently developed components responsible for a single phenomenon such as anaphora, coordination, universal or indefinite operator. We have implemented the generalized ACGs in a `semantic calculator', which is the ordinary Haskell interpreter. The calculator lets us write grammar derivations in a linguist-readable form and see their yields, types and truth conditions. We easily extend fragments with more lexical items and operators, and experiment with different semantic-mapping assemblies.
Abstract.hs [7K]
The definition of the Abstract language and its mapping to the surface `syntax'
We define Abstract for a small fragment, later extended with sentence conjunction, anaphora and quantifiers.
Logic.hs [3K]
The language of meaning: First-order predicate logic
We also lift the logic through an applicative.
Sem.hs [8K]
The syntax-semantic interface
We demonstrate the interface for the small fragment, and its modular extension for sentence conjunction, dynamic logic, and two levels of quantification. We illustrate the successive, multi-stage re-writing of Abstract into the meaning.
Applicatives.hs [2K]
Standard CPS and State Applicatives, which could have been defined in the standard applicative library
Abstract Categorial Grammars (ACG) represent syntax-semantic interface by regarding the surface and logical forms as two different interpretations of an abstract form. All three forms are represented in ACG uniformly, as closed (normal) terms in typed linear lambda-calculus over a signature defining base types, constants and the type assignments to the constants. An interpretation of one, abstract calculus, in another, object calculus is formalized in a lexicon , which is a homomorphic, typing preserving map of constants and types of the abstract calculus into terms and types of the object calculus.
Strictly speaking, the mapping of an abstract term
tA to an object term includes not only the mapping of constants of
tA as specified by the lexicon, but also the normalization of the result. The ACG literature shows the normalization (beta-reduction) step when presenting examples; the step, however, is left implicit in the formalism. Since simply-typed lambda-calculus is strongly normalizing, the formalities are not needed.
To model semantics, that is, design an ACG lexicon to map an abstract form to a logical form, extensions are often necessary. For example, the linearity requirement is dropped. We carry out further extensions. First, we distinguish a subset of terms of the logical form calculus and call them values. We define the process of reduction of terms to values as left-to-right call-by-value evaluation. We call the logical form calculus a (semantic) metalanguage.
The mapping of an abstract term
tA to a logical form is an explicitly two-stage process: we map the constants of
tA to metalanguage terms, and evaluate the result. The evaluation may fail to yield a value: the mapping of
tA to a semantic form is partial. We take the failure as an indication of ungrammaticality of
tA . The corresponding surface forms are thus judged syntactically correct but meaningless. In a departure from the Categorial Grammar tradition, the rules of grammatical composition are specified by the evaluation rules of the metalanguage -- and only incompletely by the underlying type calculus. Types are quickly-decidable approximation of the evaluation rules. Whereas categorial grammars and type-logical grammars stress finding proofs, we stress deterministic evaluation.
To avoid type-lifting and still model (covert) movements we add to our metalanguage multi-prompt delimited continuations. Such continuations implement mutable dynamic binding (or, `local store'), which is a computational model of Cooper storage.
We can use an existing programming language as our metalanguage, which gives us a ready-made implementation of computational abstract grammars. We straightforwardly encode abstract forms and lexicons in OCaml, and see the logical forms as the result of running the corresponding OCaml programs. We also take advantage of the abstraction, modularity, and interactive development and debugging facilities of OCaml.

Dynamic Logic in ACG: Discourse Anaphora and Scoping Islands
Our enhancement to ACG affects only the mapping from abstract language to semantics. We retain all ACG's benefits of parsing from the surface form. Crucially, by avoiding type lifting we keep the order of the abstract signature low, so that parsing remains tractable.
We regard the mapping from abstract language to semantics partial: some sentences, albeit well-formed, just don't make sense. We model this partial mapping as a potentially failing computation in a call-by-value language with multi-prompt delimited control. The evaluation and type inference rules of the language are simple and deterministic. Control prompts may be regarded as loci of binding or quantification, used by quantified phrases and pronouns and set by context. We arrive at the mechanism of interaction of a phrase with its context that determines the scope.

The delimcc library: delimited continuations for OCaml
We specify the compilation from the intermediate language to the STT denotation as reduction rules. Hence the intermediate language is (call-by-name) lambda calculus whose constants are STT formulas. To compile an intermediate language term to its STT denotation we evaluate the term. The compilation is not always compositional: so-called scopal expressions contribute their meaning in the places other than where they are seen or heard. Scopal phenomena include generalized quantification, wh-phrases, topicalization, focus, anaphora and binding. To account for these phenomena, our intermediate language includes control operators shift and reset. We are thus able to improve on the previous continuation-based analyses of quantification, binding, raised and in-situ wh-questions, binding in wh-questions, and superiority.
The evaluation of an intermediate language term does not always lead to the STT denotation: the evaluation may get stuck. In that case, we regard the corresponding source language phrase as ungrammatical. We introduce a type system to delineate a set of intermediate language terms whose evaluation never fails to produce denotation. Being well-typed becomes an alternative criterion of grammaticality. Typeability, unlike reducibility, has an advantage of being applicable to separate phrases rather than whole sentences. Our main result is that both typing and call-by-name are necessary to correctly predict superiority and binding in wh-questions with topicalization, without resorting to thunking or type raising and thus maintaining the uniformity of the analyses.

wow, that is rediculous. that kid should be suspended for a few games
If i was chase i probably would have smashed his face like a volleyball serve back in chase's haydays. That was really cheap play by the cougar
could have been worse. He could of got up and pulled a Kermit Washington on Rudy Tomjonovich. This punch ended both mens playing careers.

heres the video. Fast forward to the 140 mark to see the punch.
Wow i remember that play, its shame how much it changed peoples lives. Such a bad idea which tarnished a mans life.
Rudy and that guy never played again. Rudy is a good coach now but the guy who threw the punch has had to live with that mistake for the rest of his life. its a shame. Some guys just take a small tussle to seriously.
Seems like his emotions took over and took a turn for the worse. Rudy was a **** good coach and even better movie
saw Rudy over the weekend for the first time in a long time. I almost cried. Did you know the real Rudy makes an appearence in the movie? who can tell me where in the movie the real rudy makes his cameo. automatic five stars to the forum poster who can.
Well that is eays bc it is at teh final game and he is on the sideline. If only i could give you more stars Marion because you need them.
You did not completely answer the question Lil Penny. I need specifics. "On the sidelines" is not good enough nor correct. The only guy i saw on the sidelines 3rd string tailback Jaime O'Hara aka Vince Vaughn.
The Question of where and when does the Real Rudy make his Cameo is still out there.

Should Mitt Romney Be Winning?
While it's overstating the case to say that presidential elections are predictable, it's fair to describe them as strongly influenced by a consistent set of conditions. These "fundamentals" are straightforward: Is the economy moving in a positive direction? Is the president an incumbent, or is this an open election? For how long has the incumbent party controlled the White House? What do people think of the president and his party? Elections aren't determined by the answers to these questions, but to a great extent, they shape the dynamics of the contest.
In this election, despite the close polls, it's clear that the fundamentals are on the side of President Obama. Yes, the economy is bad, but it's better than it was when he took office, and it's moving in the right direction. Obama is an incumbent, and so public attitudes about him and his administration are just about set in stone; a majority of Americans like Obama, and his approval rating is just below 50 percent. This is the first time Democrats have controlled the White House in a decade, and so Americans aren't yet tired of the party. Moreover, the public remembers the disastrous record of the previous administration—we're living with it—and has given Obama the benefit of the doubt when it comes to repairing the damage.
Tally this up, and you have a result that matches reality—President Obama is a slight favorite for re-election. This is what you see in the "Time for Change" forecast; it's what you see in Nate Silver's projection (where he wins in more than 70 percent of simulations); and it's what's implied by dozens of public opinion polls. Indeed, in the large majority of national head-to-head surveys—and the overwhelming majority of swing state ones—Obama leads Republican nominee Mitt Romney, with margins that range from small (one percentage point) to overwhelming (ten points).
Despite this clear pattern of polls and forecasts, however, some observers continue to treat this race as if it's Mitt Romney's to lose. Yesterday, for example, the Washington Post's Chris Cillizza—who runs the paper's flagship political blog—asserted that given conditions, "Mitt Romney should win the presidential election this November." Here's his evidence:
- Unemployment has been over 8 percent for more than three years, and no post-war president has won re-election with unemployment over 7.2 percent.
- According to recent polls, more than 60 percent of Americans say the country and the economy are on the wrong track.
- In multiple surveys, solid majorities of the public disprove of how Obama has handled the economy.
- Obama has spent $400 million on the election—without a noticeable uptick in support—and between their super PACs and high-dollar donors, Republicans are almost certain to outspend the Democrats.
But there are big problems here. The relationship between unemployment and a party's share of the vote is inexact at best—for any given election, at least over the last 100 years, there's been no correlation between the unemployment rate on election day, and the overall vote. Low unemployment rates don't suggest victory, and high unemployment rates don't guarantee defeat. This makes sense: Voters aren't choosing on the basis of absolute conditions; they are judging their relative progress. In absolute terms, Franklin Roosevelt presided over a decade of crushing poverty. But because this happened during the worst economic crisis in human history, and things improved during his term, voters were forgiving.
Likewise, today's high unemployment rate would be much more significant for Obama if it represented a worsening of conditions over 2008 and early 2009. But it doesn't. When Obama entered office, growth was negative and unemployment was climbing to doubled-digit levels. Today, growth is ongoing—albeit slow—and unemployment is on a slight downward slope. Neither is good, but both are better, and that's how many voters approach the world.
More on point are the numbers on economic dissatisfaction. Even still, they don't fit with Cillizza's conclusion; voters are disappointed with Obama, but that doesn't imply a willingness to support Romney, as evidenced by the former Massachusetts governor's poor performance in polls of favorability.
As for the final observation. It sounds savvy to give an early advantage to Romney because of his money advantage. However, at the levels of spending you'll see in this election—at least a billion dollars on both sides—a money advantage isn't worth much; the marginal gain of an extra $100 million is small, and won't determine the election.
Having set the expectation of a Romney win, Cillizza attempts to explain the reality of an Obama lead. And to that end, Cillizza credits Team Obama with running a good campaign, and leaves open the chance that tables will turn if Team Romney can win a few news cycles.
Does the campaign matter? Absolutely. Like any contest, effort matters, even when you have an advantage on the field.
But the truth is that there isn't a discrepancy to explain. Cillizza notwithstanding, Obama's performance is in line with the fundamentals of the race. This was confirmed by Cillizza's colleague at the Post, Dan Balz, who looks for evidence that the race is a toss-up, and doesn't find it. "[A]t this point," he writes, "the available evidence suggests that the advantage, however small, is with Obama. If this were truly a dead even race, Romney should be ahead in these polls almost as often as he is behind."
I don't want to discount the possibility that things can change—they can, and they might. But the evidence is clear. For now, the idea that Romney should be winning is simply wrong.

The other factor that makes this election different form previous elections, (especially long ago) is that the electorate has changed. The increase in African American, Hispanic, women - especially single women, and gay voters who will go overwhelmingly to President Obama despite economic problems gives Obama an extra few points. The present demographics would have given Michael Dukakis a win over George H. W. Bush.
Mon, 2012-08-06 21:07
The demographic changes were the key to election 2008 and they remain the key to election 2012. Minorities, immigrants of all stripe and variety, women, the college educated, the GLBT community, these are the Obama coalition along with those white folk (I'm white) who are related still to shrinking labor movement. I think the demographic changes also explain the extremism of the Republican Party. The Republicans have been made desperate by these demographic changes in the composition of our country, with those in favor of cultural modernization on the one hand and equality as a form not only of (distributive) justice but also as something in line with the long term interests of the nation as a whole, against those, comprising the Republican base, of the one-percent and those who resist both cultural modernization and who for all sorts of reason identify with the very rich and fear distributive justice or relative equality.

Games are defined by some as a structured activity that is usually taken for enjoyment or pleasure, where individuals engage in an artificial conflict and governed by a set of rules that results in an unbiased outcome.
Often used for entertainment. Games require mainly three fundamental elements. They are tools, a set of rules, strategy and chance. Tools that are used on games may be just from a pair of sticks, a baseball bat, a ball or computer.
Games are sometimes used as an educational tool for some educational institutions wherein stimulating environments are incorporated. These educational games provide the individuals indirect training in a different manner that make learning more fun and exciting. IQ games, for example, make use of questions that measure IQ levels of a person taking the game. For kids, jigsaw puzzles are often used to develop visual recognition of objects. Connect the dots game is make use of a figure or a picture that is incompletely drawn with dots and players aim to complete the figure by connecting the broken dots.
Pencil and paper games include literally make use of pencil and paper. Crossword puzzles enhance individuals vocabulary capacity, connecting words with a common letter to each other. Popular nowadays is Sudoku where you strategically place singledigit numbers on 3×3 boxes. Spot the difference is another example of a pencil and paper game.

Call for Entries: Radiant or Ravaged Photo Exhibition
USU photography students, partnered with the Bear River Watershed Council, have issued a call for entries for their upcoming photo exhibit on the Bear River watershed. They are asking photographers to look for images that portray the "Radiant" beauty or "Ravaged" impacts of the watershed, and submit them for an exhibit in April. They hope to engage both amateur and professional photographers to take a close look at our local watershed with a different eye. Not only to see the beauty, but also to look for impacts of human activities that may not be beneficial to the environment, the watershed, or human health. The exhibit will be hung at the Thatcher-Young Mansion in Logan, Utah, from April 11 through Earth Day, April 22. There will be both an opening and closing reception. Prints will be accepted April 4, and will be juried by Utah State University assistant professor of photography Carsten Meier and professional fine art and nature photographer Howie Garber.

Gargoyles are dramatic decor no matter where they are displayed but they seem to do best when perched atop a castle wall or when leering down at folks who are walking in and out of a Gothic cathedral. Such situations were the first places where European gargoyles were used as decor and they still tend to look more impressive when crouched up on top of a parapet than when sitting on the ground. Although sculptures like the Legend of Cambridge Hopping Gargoyle look intimidating no matter where you put them, most winged gargoyles look right at home when perched on top of a pedestal.
To reach those high places they love, gargoyles could simply use their bat-like wings and fly but if the Gargoyle Demon on the Loose Sculpture is any indication, it appears that some prefer to creep up the walls of castles, churches, and homes like slinking miniature dragons. This frightening Medieval gargoyle shows that he is up to no good with an intriguing, evil grin. Pair it with the unique Catgoyle on the Loose Sculpture for garden wall decor that will give guests something to talk about!
However, no gargoyle wall decor theme would be complete without Gaston the Climbing Gargoyle. Sculpted with eerie, realistic details, Gaston is bound to be one of more intimidating garden statuary items in your collection.

Published in Association with American Sociological Association
Social Psychology Quarterly (SPQ) publishes theoretical and empirical papers on the link between the individual and society. This includes the study of the relations of individuals to one another, as well as to groups, collectivities, and institutions. It also includes the study of intra-individual processes as they substantially influence, or are influenced by, social structure and process. SPQ is genuinely interdisciplinary and publishes works by both sociologists and psychologists.
The American Sociological Association (ASA), founded in 1905, is a non-profit membership association dedicated to advancing sociology as a scientific discipline and profession serving the public good. With nearly 15,000 members, ASA encompasses sociologists who are faculty members at colleges and universities, researchers, practitioners, and students. About 20 percent of the members work in government, business, or non-profit organizations. ASA hosts an annual meeting with more than 6,000 participants and publishes 10 professional journals and magazines.
As the national organization for sociologists, ASA, through its Executive Office, is well positioned to provide a unique set of services to its members and to promote the vitality, visibility, and diversity of the discipline. Working at the national and international levels, ASA aims to articulate policy and implement programs likely to have the broadest possible impact for sociology now and in the future.

As long as the glass is clean and crack free, most Bow-Tie enthusiasts take this part of their machine for granted. And when it comes to the side windows, if they go up and down relatively easy, they too are deemed okay. But what about that constant rattle at freeway speeds or the rushing sound air makes when it sneaks by the rubber weatherstripping at 70 miles per hour?
If you're an early Nova fan, and you've experienced these symptoms, the problem is severe. Chances are that the lower window frame channel is rusted through and just waiting to drop that piece of glass into the inner door well.
It's an inherent problem with '62-67 Novas that the frame channels rust from the inside out. Just because they're chrome doesn't mean they're impervious to the dreaded metal cancer. The fact is that the majority of Super Sports and two-door Sport Coupes we've seen over the years have been plagued by this situation.
There is, however, a way to repair the frame so that it's as good as new. Chevy 2 Only has reproduction lower window channels for both left and right doors of a two-door coupe. These are quality replacements that are a snap to install and will provide accurate alignment and fit.
Installation is simple and can be done with a Phillips-head screwdriver, a can of WD-40, a rubber mallet, and a sharp cutting knife. Two people will make the job easier, and the whole swap can be accomplished in a couple of hours.
We recently undertook the task and were quite impressed with the quality of the parts and the ease of installation. Follow along with this Quick Tech piece and see how simple it will be to give your little Deuce a new set of window frames.
The new channels are nicely chromed and are a virtual duplicate of the original. You may have to gently squeeze the sides of the opening together to get a more positive fit, but that should be only as a last resort. The sealing material that was included, which was made up of a mix of vinyl and rubber, came in a roll and had to be cut to length.

Association Founding Fathers
September 17, 1913, is a red-letter day for rescue missions. On that day men and women with vision formed an organization that would have the purpose of fellowship, cooperation with all engaged or interested in gospel missions, and other rescue work throughout the United States and in other lands, in the mutual advancement of the cause of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Rescue missions had come of age. The first North American rescue mission, the McAuley Water Street Mission in New York, was 41 years old in 1913. Many men and women had gone out from there to start other missions across the United States and Canada and around the world. Thirty of these men and women saw the need for sharing their expertise, helping new directors get established, training, and spiritual renewal in the International Union of Gospel Missions (later AGRM), or IUGM.
Many of the names on the Articles of Incorporation are not quickly recognized. Their stories are probably lost to history, and the missions where they served closed. Rescue mission men were not known to keep complete files, wrote former IUGM Board president Leonard Hunt in the 1964 work, The IUGM History and Future. Several, though, were men and women whose vision for ministry would still impress us today. They were highly individualistic, Leonard wrote They were as independent as could be, giants in their own areas. Yet in spite of this individualism, they had heart-warming fellowship together around the cross of Christ, and the common causerescue.
What a challenge these men and women had before them! Their missions were not necessarily large when they banded together to form the IUGM. They didnt have huge budgets or staffs to operate their own ministries while they worked for another organization. But they had a vision of an organization that would assist, train, encourage, and challenge rescue mission leaders in the United States and around the world. Almost 100 years later, that organization started in the office of the Water Street Mission is still advancingstill seeking the provide education, fellowship, and service to the men and women who are ministering in the neediest parts of our cities.
Below are the stories of several of the founders:
Sidney and Emma WhittemoreSidney Whittemore and his wife, Emma, were wealthy, cultured, church-going people who lived in New York City. In 1874, they paid a visit to the Water Street Mission to see what their giving was supporting.
I went down to Water Street, feeling that I was such a big one in church life that I knew everything, and to go down and shake hands with Jerry McAuley and his wifewhy, yes, I would, and encourage him in that way, Sidney later said, according to the 1907 book, Jerry McAuley: An Apostle to the Lost edited by R. M. Offord.
The refined couple was sorely out of place among the needy individuals attending the service, but when the altar call was given, husband and wife held up their hands and went forward to kneel with the crowd of broken men. Sidney, who had planned just to sit and look on, increased his nights at the mission until he and Emma were with the McAuleys five out of seven nights each week. He served on the board of the Cremore Mission. In The Romance of Rescue, William Paul quotes a 1921 association document that stated the IUGM was a child of the heart of Sidney.
As the first board president of the IUGM, he had a vision for furthering the cause of rescue.
Emma Whittemore said that before her conversion she was of that character of church people so prevalenta card-playing, theater-going, dancing Christian, wrote Samuel H. Handley in the 1902 volume, Down in Water Street. When she first visited the mission, it was with the district understanding that I was never to go to such a place as that again, according to Jerry McAuley: An Apostle to the Lost. After going forward at that first meeting, Emma not only helped her husband, but also organized the Door of Hope for lost and helpless girls. She went on to establish more than 50 Door of Hope missions in other cities, and served as the second elected IUGM president, carrying on the vision of her husband after he was gone.
John and May WyburnJohn Wyburn, an Englishman, came to America to take charge of his brothers business. When his brother died in 1882, John inherited a large share of the business and a generous cash legacy. Three years later, despondent with life, he withdrew his money and began drinking. He ended up in the Bowery of New York City, penniless. A convert of the Water Street Mission gave John a referral to Samuel Handley, the mission superintendent. John didnt mean to stay at the mission. He planned to hit Handley for a loan of $10 and get out of there quickly. Handley invited him to stay for the service, and when that convert stood and gave his testimony of how God delivered him from drunkenness, John surrendered his will to the Lord.
He forgot about going back to his business. Instead, he worked as a clerk at a lodging house and returned to the mission every night of the week. In 1896, he became superintendent of the Bowery Mission; there he met a pretty young volunteer, May, who later became his wife. Three years later, he returned to Water Street as the assistant to the superintendent. When Samuel Handley died in February 1906, John became the superintendent, serving until his death in 1921, according to Arthur Bonners 1936 book, Jerry McAuley and His Mission.
On at least three occasions, Mr. Wyburn was approached just before the annual business meeting and urged to accept the nomination for the presidency of this organization, May Wyburn wrote in her 1936 work, But Until Seventy Times Seven. But he declined fearing it might take him away too often from his work in Water Street, which always took precedence over everything else.
Sara Wray, superintendent of the Eighth Avenue Mission in New York City, spoke of John Wyburns love for men at his memorial service, according to But Until Seventy Times Seven. I shall never forget a convention of rescue mission superintendents in a distant city two or three years ago [1918 or 1919] where Mr. Wyburn and other superintendents, myself included, were. We heard eloquent addresses, but there was just one thing that really gripped me Just one sentence, uttered with such thrilling effect on my soul We never give a man up, said Mr. Wyburn. Others may weary, other may say it is of no use, others may speak of wasted time and wasted money, but he, never. (He) knew the love and power of the Good Shepherd Himself.
John R. McIntyreJohn R. McIntyre, also an Englishman, was a member of the Royal Exchange in London. He worked his way to the head of a company that employed more than 1,000.
He came to America to escape liquor and soon became head of a department in the Wanamaker store in Philadelphia. But liquor again led him to the gutter. John walked six miles to Germantown, and became the first convert of the Whosoever Gospel Mission, founded by William Raws. John later became the missions superintendent, giving 50 years of service to the Lord.
His testimony of compassion for broken men lives on in the Episcopal Cathedrals stained glass window in Washington, D.C. Artist Lawrence Saint depicted John McIntyre, the redeemed drunk, with the lost sheep around his neck, according to Herbert Eberhardts 1957 article, Rescue Mission Leaders. John, a man with compassion and vision, served as president of the IUGM from 1919 to 1921, and as the chairman of the executive committee for 20 years.
Lucius B. ComptonLucius B. Compton was a mountain boy from the hills of North Carolina. Crippled because of malnutrition, his family thought he was feeble-minded, and only permitted him fewer than six months of schooling. At 14, he left the hills to escape the law, and roamed from city to city, a boy tramp.
In Cincinnati, he was attracted by the singing at a mission and wandered into the service. After he became a Christian and started taking part in street meetings, his stuttering left him in an answer to prayer.
He eventually returned to Asheville and founded Eliada Orphanage and Home, a farm in connection with the home, the Faith Cottage Rescue mission, and a Bible conference grounds. He also became an internationally known evangelist. This unschooled mountain boy with a dream and a vision served as president of the IUGM from 1947 until his death in 1948, Herbert Eberhardt writes in Rescue Mission Leaders.

"Life Of Reilly: The Super Spy" episode from A&E's acclaimed Vanishings Series
Interactive Menus
Scene Selection
At the turn of the 20th century, one remarkable man single-handedly tried to alter the course of history. Cold, ruthless and enigmatic, this Russian-born British agent radically transformed modern espionage techniques and set the mold for a new kind of secret agent--the super spy.
REILLY: ACE OF SPIES is the thrilling dramatization of the real-life adventures of Agent ST-1, aka Sidney Reilly, the inspiration behind Ian Fleming's James Bond. Shot in glorious period detail, one heart-pulsing mission after another captures the arc of Reilly's brilliant career. From stealing top-secret Russian oil information to a near overthrow of the Bolshevik Revolution to his final capture by Stalin's forces in 1918, Reilly's exploits are at times so daring and reckless it's hard to believe they really happened.
Starring Sam Neill (Jurassic Park, The Hunt for Red October), REILLY: ACE OF SPIES includes all 12 original episodes on DVD for the first time, and features a bonus documentary examining the final, mysterious days of this legendary figure.

Stories from people who were children during World War II and the objects in this exhibit animate the past and inform us of a time when war took over daily life. "Retrospect is a very interesting thing," says Ruthie Kallnder. "At the time I don't recall any of the information we got as being propaganda," but the government tried to influence children to make "necessary" sacrifices. Propagandists made the war a battle between good and evil, democracy and fascism. They also asked children to share in the war effort. In response, many children took on more responsibilities. Ruthie explains that boys and girls felt "if that's what it was going to take" to win they "were willing to do it." The memories of the people in this exhibit and their wartime actions show the power of propaganda's messages and its lasting affect on their lives. Propaganda posters, children's books, and classroom assignments demonstrate how propagandists reached children and involved them in the national war effort.
