Recently, I was refactoring some trivial F# code, and the results were so elegant that I felt it would be instructive to share them. My tale begins simply with a list of lists...
Now, suppose we wanted to sort lists by the lengths of the inner lists. How might we do that? Easy! The F# libraries include a List.sort function which does the trick.
List.sort takes two arguments. The first argument is a function used to compare elements from the list, and the second argument is the list to be sorted. Obviously, most of the work is in defining the first argument. This comparison function returns a negative value if the first element is less than the second, a positive value if the second element is less than the first, or zero if the two elements are, in fact, equal. With that in mind, we could sort lists using List.sort and List.length like so:
OK. It worked, but that's an awful lot of code. Typing all of that into the F# Interactive Environment is fraught with peril ([ed.] the author spelled "length" as "lentgh" at least twice).
Thankfully, F# provides a function, compare, which can be used to calculate a generic comparison of two arguments.
compare can do most of the heavy lifting and greatly decreases the amount of code we have to write.
That's much better!
Our sort is looking pretty good, but we can do better. Let's take a closer look at the comparison function we're passing to List.sort.
What exactly are we doing here? Essentially, we're inserting a function application for each argument before calling compare. It sure would be nice to have a function that generalizes this for us. Perhaps something like this:
I can already sense the snickers. Some of you are thinking, "How could that possibly work? There aren't any types! How would F#'s statically-typed compiler handle that?"
The answer to my hecklers is yet another reason why I love F#: automatic generalization. If necessary, F# will attempt to insert generic type parameters into a function as part of its type inference. This allows very sophisticated code to be written with breathtaking succinctness. The following code shows automatic generalization in action.
As you can see, F# allows us to define the essence of a function without the noise of type annotations. It looks very similar to code written in dynamically-typed languages, but has all of the benefits of static-typing.
Armed with our new compareWith function (any chance of getting that into the libraries Don?), we can sort lists using List.length like so:
But wait! There's more!
I intentionally inserted what I consider to be a sophomoric blunder in that last bit of code. Try to find it. Notice that both of the parameters of our anonymous comparison function are passed, in order, as the last two arguments of compareWith. That's a big clue. Here's another. Consider the signatures of List.sort and comparewith. I'll highlight the interesting bits.
Do you see it? compareWith returns a function whose signature matches the signature of the comparison function expected by List.sort. In essence, the anonymous function is an extra "function layer" that really isn't necessary. Instead, we could write this1:
This an excellent example of the benefits of currying and partial application (and yet another reason why I love F#). If you need to brush up, I've written about these topics in the past here, here and here.
There is one final bit of refactoring that I'd like to do. Notice how lists appears at the very end of the argument list for List.sort. We can make the code more readable by moving lists ahead of List.sort and using the forward pipe operator (|>) like so:
Now the code reads like an English sentence:
"Take lists and sort it, comparing with List.length."
It's a tiny jump to see that other functions could be easily used to sort lists. For example, we might sort using the head of each inner list (assuming that none of the inner lists is the empty list).
Or, we could sort lists by the sum of each inner list (using List.fold_left with the + operator to perform the sum).
The possibilities are endless!
Next time, we'll take a closer look at the wickedly clever forward pipe operator to see how its very existence hangs upon currying.
1If you don't immediately see why this works, try again. Work it out on paper. The reward is worth the effort.

"Nii is particularly passionate about broadening his understanding of ethical leadership through his scholarship and practical application."
Nii Abrahams has become a prominent figure at Missouri State University by simply doing what he loves: being a leader.
Missouri State's Board of Governors recently recognized Abrahams with the Citizen Scholar award. Joseph Morris, director of student orientation, advisement and registration (SOAR), nominated Abrahams for the award.
"Nii is particularly passionate about broadening his understanding of ethical leadership through his scholarship and practical application," said Morris.
As an active member of campus organizations such as Chi Alpha Campus Ministries and Student Activities Council, Abrahams is also a board member and volunteer for the non-profit fundraising organization Missouri Leadership Seminar (MLS). MLS provides leadership discovery experiences for selected Missouri high school sophomores, where they learn their strengths and leadership potential.
"For me, being a leader means displaying passion about the university in many different ways, such as being involved on and off campus," said Abrahams. "Being out in the community and having the chance to display the public affairs mission of community engagement has been really important to me."
As active as Abrahams is within the community and on campus, he can recall one of his favorite service activities.
"Back in 2012, I was able to be a site leader for Missouri State's Martin Luther King Service Day," Abrahams said. "I got the chance to work with my Chi Alpha fraternity brothers along with 15 other people that I didn't know. I got the amazing opportunity to connect with new people while helping out the community."
Those unexpected connections are what Abrahams attributes as one of the most important ways Missouri State has helped him develop into a pillar of the community and campus.
"Missouri State has provided an avenue for me to meet new people and take advantage of great opportunities that have helped me to develop into the person I am today."
Upon graduating in May 2014, Abrahams plans to begin graduate school at Missouri State while hoping to get the chance to student teach in the communication department, join staff of Chi Alpha Campus Ministries and maybe even own a business one day.
"Linked" looks to highlight student similarities, not differences

UPDATE: A memorial service for Professor Johnson was held on Sunday, June 23 at noon at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Donate to the Haynes Johnson Scholarship Fund to help Merrill College Undergraduates.
By Adrianne Flynn and Rafael Lorente
COLLEGE PARK, Md. – Haynes Johnson — best-selling author, Pulitzer-Prize-winning journalist, historian and eminent professor and Knight Chair at the Philip Merrill College of Journalism — died Friday, May 24, 2013. He was 81.
He entered Suburban Hospital three days ago for tests on his heart and died Friday morning of cardiac arrest, said his widow, Kathryn Oberly.
"Haynes Johnson was a beloved member of the Philip Merrill College of Journalism faculty for 15 years. Hundreds of of our students learned how to cover public affairs from one of the best journalists America has ever known," said Merrill College Dean Lucy Dalglish. "It was equally obvious to anyone who looked through the window … that Haynes was in his element in the classroom. His entire face lit up when he was in the middle of a classroom discussion."
Professor Johnson had just attended graduation ceremonies on Monday for the Merrill College.
Educating and mentoring young journalists "meant so much to him" that he rarely let a graduation go by without him, even when he wasn't feeling well, Dalglish said.
"This man was a rock," said University of Maryland President Wallace Loh. "He taught our students journalistic excellence, drawing freely on his integrity, insight and idealism. He helped anchor a new generation of journalists, and we will miss him."
The Chancellor for the University System of Maryland – Brit Kirwan – was the president of the University of Maryland when Professor Johnson came to College Park. "Haynes Johnson was one of the most distinguished and prolific journalists of our time. I still remember with great pride the day he accepted our invitation to become the School's Knight Chair of Journalism. During his tenure, he shared his admirable personal qualities and journalistic gifts with our students and faculty. While we mourn his death, we celebrate the significant contributions he made to our community."
Always Working On A Book
Professor Johnson had just begun work on what would have been his 19th book (on the breakneck speed of breaking news in the social media era) and was scheduled to be inducted next month into the District of Columbia Society of Professional Journalists Hall of Fame. His most recent book was a retrospective on his Washington Post colleague Herbert Block, "Herblock: The Life and Works of the Great Political Cartoonist," with Harry Katz.
His book with Post political reporter Dan Balz, "The Battle for America 2008," hit the national best-seller list, as did his book on the Ronald Reagan presidency, "Sleepwalking Through History."
While at the Washington Evening Star, Mr. Johnson won the Pulitzer Prize for national reporting in 1966 for his coverage of the Civil Rights movement. He and his father, Malcolm Johnson, who won a Pulitzer for the reporting that formed the basis of the movie "On the Waterfront," are the only father and son team to win Pulitzers for reporting.
Gene Roberts, a former Maryland professor and a legendary editor at both The Philadelphia Inquirer and The New York Times, shared a bond with Johnson from their days covering the Civil Rights movement. Roberts later urged Johnson to take the teaching position at Maryland and remembers him as a tireless reporter and writer.
"He was always working on a book," Roberts said. "He would go from one book right to another. He had to be one of the most productive non-fiction writers in the country – and one of the finest."
"There was almost no breathing room between books. He was never happy if he wasn't working on a book."
Balz, The Washington Post political reporter who collaborated with Johnson on "Battle for America, 2008, The: The Story of an Extraordinary Election," remembered his friend as "one of the greatest journalists I ever knew." The two wrote chapters and traded them for editing and voice, with Johnson often writing a second draft before Balz could edit the first.
"He told the history of America for half a century," Balz said.
Professor Johnson joined Merrill College as Knight Chair in 1998 after a long career as a national correspondent, columnist and assistant managing editor for The Washington Post, where he created The Washington Post Writers Group. He taught political journalism at Maryland, as well as at George Washington University, the Annenberg School at the University of Pennsylvania, the University of California at Berkeley and Princeton University.
"Haynes was not just the best of the old school but of any school, a shoe-leather reporter before most of today's reporters were born, a giant in political journalism whose work shaped the nation, a devoted teacher who went out the way he wanted to, working to the end," said Eric Newton, senior adviser to the president at the John S. and James L. Knight Foundation. "It boggles the mind to imagine what our communities and our lives would be like if every journalist could be that good."
Someone Who Always Had A Big Smile
Chris Callahan, now dean of the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism and Mass Communication at Arizona State University, was Professor Johnson's "next-door neighbor" at the Merrill College for seven years and knew him as someone who "always had a big smile, always had a laugh…one of those people for whom chronological age was a non-factor."
Callahan said Professor Johnson was a true giant of the industry.
"He was not just one of the premiere political reporters," Callahan said, "but helped define that genre of reporting."
Professor Johnson could dig deep into political systems, analyzing them and translating them for ordinary readers, "and then he was able to translate that into the classroom to a generation of students," Callahan said.
Kathy Wenner, now a copy editor at The Washington Post, was Johnson's first graduate assistant. She said they started over together, she turning 40 and Professor Johnson entering the last chapter of his illustrious career.
"Haynes was so warm and so warm as a person, and hot temperamentally," Wenner said. "He was passionate about everything, and nothing more so than journalism and this country." She said Johnson had the ability to see and comprehend the connections among societal trends, global trends, political winds and distill them for other people to understand.
"He had a very sensitive personality and when things touched him they touched him in a very deep way," she said. Wenner worked for Professor Johnson during the impeachment proceedings against President Bill Clinton and he reacted strongly to it, to injustice everywhere. "He kept a picture of Herman Goering (the notorious Nazi head of the Luftwaffe) above his desk to remind him of what could happen," she said, " He never lost his sense of outrage."
He Was The Best
Professor Johnson's current teaching assistant, Saranaz Barforoush, said he would call her daily at 9:30 a.m. to say hello, or to talk about the news. "Did you hear about Oklahoma," she remembered him saying. "Did you hear about Boston."
"Sir H.," as she called him, still read every one of his students' papers, marking them and calling her to talk about them. He last called her from the hospital Thursday to say he was bored and to ask for some reading material so he could work on his latest book.
"He was the best," Barforoush said.
Professor Johnson's students remember him as a terrific mentor who used to celebrate the end of the semester with a dinner party at his "beautiful" home in Washington.
"We were all so dazzled by him and so impressed that we were sitting in his apartment," recalled Kelley Benham, a former student and now an editor at the Tampa Bay Times.
"I think he had his Pulitzer there right next to his dad's. His story about winning his Pulitzer and calling his dad to tell him he won it had everyone in tears, because he was such a sweetheart," she said. "He always kind of had, how would you describe it, had that smile like he was up to something. He always had time for you."
A memorial service will be scheduled at a later date.
He is survived by his wife; five children, Katherine J. Autin, Louisville, Ky.; David M. Johnson, Altadena, Calif; Stephen H. Johnson, New Orleans; Sarah B. Johnson, Nyack, N.Y.; and Elizabeth Koeller, Dayton, Ohio; a stepson, Michael Goelzer, Santa Clara, Calif.; and six grandchildren.

Press Rooms,
This is the most fundamental and crucial feature in SmartBatchUpdate as it involves
saving your pending changes rows into the physical database. By default, WebGrid
will automatically save all submitted pending changes to the intermediate data source
which holds the objects during the binding process. This automatic updating also
supports nested hierarchical tables linked through referral integrity.
In addition to the automatic update processing, SmartBatchUpdate also introduces
BatchUpdate server-side event. When bound to non-datasource control, such as: ADO.NET
data set and data table, you can write your own code to handle the update process.
OnBatchUpdate server side event provides
BatchUpdateEventArgs in the event argument, which is useful for developers who would
like to customize the physical updating process, such as in the case of custom object
What about hierarchical traditional binding? Similar to the traditional binding,
you're required to handle the OnBatchUpdate
server-side event manually.
SmartBatchUpdate also offers the partial error handling feature. Partial error is
the state when there are some erroneous rows in all submitted pending changes. The
idea of this feature is to return all error rows only, instead of returning all
rows and user has to redo all changes again. This saves user from editing nightmare
especially under certain situations when user has made hundreds of changes and there
are some errors in it.

Miniature farm equipmentMan makes tiny tractors
Rod Swanson likes to tinker away for hours at a time crafting miniature tractors out of steel.
Rod Swanson likes to tinker away for hours at a time crafting miniature tractors out of steel.
The 70-year-old from Perham, Minn., has been constructing the models for about eight years. He generally collects them for himself but will also build some specifically for friends and relatives who want one.
"I just needed something to do," said Swanson, who is retired. "I don't know why I picked tractors. I thought it'd be easy, but I make them pretty detailed, so they take some work."
Swanson is working on his 77th tractor. He makes them four at a time so he can get the most out of a single pattern and said it can take about two months to finish a set of four.
Swanson crafts each tractor out of steel using a variety of tools, including turning lathes and milling machines, he said.
The miniature tractors are usually about 11 inches long and weigh several pounds each because of the steel, but the dimensions can vary depending on the kind of tractor Swanson builds.
He started out making International and John Deere tractors and branched out from there.
He once made an Allis-Chalmers tractor for a friend in Fargo and then a Bee tractor for that friend's father, who wanted one after seeing Swanson's finished product.
"It's mostly just for my own entertainment, though," Swanson said. "Usually I just make whatever catches my eye … but I'll give them to relatives and I make some for different people."
Swanson typically begins each tractor by starting with the wheels, which are made of solid steel.
"Then, I build the tractor to that so that it looks pretty much in proportion," he said. "But sometimes you screw up and you gotta start over."
As Swanson continues expanding his collection, he said the miniature tractors he's kept for himself will likely be passed down to his three daughters and five grandchildren.
"They all hope to take what they want after I'm gone," he said.

Yes, the Black Cats lost a two-goal home lead, but the overall display was one of confidence, reassurance and improvement on recent seasons.
Firstly, among several new faces at the Stadium of Light, Nedum Onouha stood out as the star performer, looking comfortable and in control from start to finish accompanied by the pace of Egyptian star, El Mohammady.
A plethora of new signings generally impressed, with John Mensah's return being reinforced by a solid Titus Bramble display in the Sunderland defence. Simon Mignolet looked nervous in goal, but should not be too down-heartened by the conceded goals, both of which had a sense of luck and lack of team concentration about them.
Black Cats captain Lee Cattermole may feel disappointed with his red card late in the first half, yet a spirited performance from the team earned a draw that had encouraging moments for the season ahead.
Bent was on the scoresheet once more, Henderson continues to mature and Richardson looks like he is settling into the left back position nicely.
Bruce has assembled the best Sunderland squad for many years, with depth in every position. There are rumours of new players arriving in the near future, hopefully including a replacement for Kenwyne Jones, and current squad players return from suspension in the coming weeks.
There should be a confident outlook at the Stadium of Light as the season starts to progress, and this 2-2 draw can be viewed as a decent result against a strong Birmingham side all things considered.

Evading Arrest
22-year-old arrested in parole violation warrant
A 22-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of evading arrest and on a warrant for a parole violation on another charge of evading arrest at 6:41 p.m. Thursday in the 4300 block of Nicholson Street.
Police tried to stop the driver of a 1990 Honda for a traffic stop near Naples and Alexander streets when the driver sped off, leading police on a car chase that lasted a couple of minutes. The passenger jumped out of the car while it was still rolling and tried to enter a home through a back door before he was caught.

Teeny Tiny Normally I'm a small without much issue, but, unlike what another reviewer said, this top was teeny tiny. It barely covered my chest and squashed my breasts so unbelievably flat I felt like I hadn't gone through puberty yet. I bought the small, but the medium would have been a great deal better given how small and tight the top is, but it is a beautiful top. The color of stunning and I absolutely adore the straps, but unfortunately, I unwisely bought a size too small. I'd say stick to your average, if a bit larger if you're on the cusp of two sizes, and it should fit fine. 1.30.2012
So cute on! I love this top! The color is so pretty in person. The ruching gives you a little lift. I saw the other review that the small fits like a Med. but don't agree. I am size 32B and the small fits perfect. Such a great deal. 1.14.2012
Too big Great material and color and the straps on the back look great, but this top runs at least an entire size too big. I normally wear a small in FP tops, but the small fit like a medium. 12.9.2011

Short-Term Flexibility Won't Help Long-Term Impact of Sequestration
March 27, 2013
President Obama signed legislation Tuesday to keep the government funded through the end of September and to give greater flexibility to a handful of agencies as they roll out the mandated across-the-board spending cuts known as sequestration.
Still, this flexibility does not change the dollars and cents of the equation, nor will it blunt the long-term economic impact. "I think, honestly, the overall macroeconomic impact and near-term prospects aren't going to be that dramatic," said Douglas Holtz-Eakin, a former director of the Congressional Budget Office and president of the American Action Forum, a conservative think tank. "You might do a better job of delivering government services, and people care about that."
The Defense Department, for instance, will have more control over over the cuts that need to be made. Similarly, programs involving embassy security, meat inspection, and infant nutrition will not see the same level of reductions, or any at all, for the rest of this fiscal year.

Rated 2 out of 5Â by NYGaL73 Itchy and unflattering Cut Wish I'd remembered that anything Wool related makes me itchy - even if I have a Shirt on underneath. The cut isn't flattering in the least, either. Returning. Side Note:Hello Freepeople.com? Offering XL in everything would probably be a good idea. AND upping your Jeans Sizes as well. Not everyone is a Skinny/Tiny Person. I've noticed every site that does offer an XL in everything is Out of Stock First, above all other sizes. Hmm....wonder why? 8.22.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fpj9 Everyday Sweater Cozy, cuddly boyfriend sweater. I got the "light multi" aka - grey in a size small. I usually size up in sweaters to a medium, but there was no need to in this. I did notice that the only thing that was different about the medium was that the body got wider. (Sleeves were the same). I'm 5'8, 34b-27-37 if that helps. Will be a fall/winter staple. 8.8.2014
Rated 2 out of 5Â by fellnerk Confused I am a cardigan fanatic so I was immediately drawn to this. I ordered it in beige and grey, both in XS, and both are absolutely GIANT on me. I am 5'7" and an athletic build so I always get a size S, however, I sized down for this and it was still huge. I do not even understand how people are able to wear this without it looking so baggy... it is the length of a dress on me and when buttoned it looks ridiculous. The fabric is an awesome, heavy knit that is not itchy at all so I'm very sad about this one! 9.4.2014
Rated 3 out of 5Â by pig_something Itchy, sooo itchy. I would reconsider if you're interested in a slouchy boyfriend sweater. I have never been so uncomfortable. :( It is so unfortunate, too, because it is truly adorable. I am 5'6" and 115lbs, and I ordered a size S. It wasn't larger than expected, however; it is probably just too itchy for me. I was actually reading the reviews to see if anyone cleaned it or found a way to combat the itchiness of the material (is it the polyester or alpaca?!), but I only found one other "itchy" complaint. :P I will most likely end up returning this. 9.12.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by fplaurentoronto Perfect Fall/Winter Staple Cardi I initially got this cardi in Camel but after owning it for about a week I gave in and got myself a second one in the Grey. Its so comfy and super soft. I didn't find it overly big like some previous reviewers. I'm 5'7 and I chose to get Smalls and they hit me in length exactly as it does on the model. The fit is loose like in the photos but not too oversized or boxy. Has excellent quality material and buttons. I know these babies will keep me warm and casually chic throughout the cold Canadian fall and winter. 8.5.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by joslyn13 Very cozy, but size down! I love the colors and the shape, very cute, not too boxy, BUT you have to size down. Normally I wear mediums, but in Free People clothing, I usually have to size down to a small and xtra small. In this sweater, I sized down to an XS! It's Still roomy and long, very nice!! Got the grey and the brown, perfect goes with everything, casual sweater! Love it! I'm 5'8 and 130lbs. 7.27.2014
Rated 5 out of 5Â by danicas the "itch" is worth it. Its cute. oversized (size down) and yes... lilke the title states the itch is worth it. it is by no stretch the itchiest sweater i have ever had. I love it. I got it today and its staying. 10.22.2014
Rated 4 out of 5Â by Athanasia Roomy and Long I needed this sweater and unfortunately I thought it was true to size, which it was not! I am usually a M, but this was drowning! It's too late to exchange and I don't even know if I would because the M looks great as a dress! IT is a little itchy at first and does pill a tad, but it is a beautiful piece. 10.8.2014

The 2005 Corvette Represents Years of Planning and Perhaps the Greatest Vette Yet
When the 2005 Corvette came to pass it was quickly proclaimed by many critics and enthusiasts to be the best Corvette of all times. Yet there where a fair share of those who criticized General Motors (GM) because the newest generation of Corvette looked more like an improvement from its predecessor and not a total redesign.
The first of the C6 generation of Corvettes began to be put together, design wise, in 2000 and made Vette history by becoming the first Corvette ever to be developed in tandem with another GM model. The C6 Corvette was being developed at the same time as the 2004 Cadillac XLR was taking shape. The Cadillac gained priority as it was to be launched first and was to represent GM's resurgence into the luxury car brand. Only after the XLR was complete was GM then able to give its full attention to the C6 project. Because of that fact though, the C6 would not be a total redesign.
The 2005 Corvette was however extremely new in content. It grabbed much of its inspiration from the XLR and used much of the same fit and finish composite type body panels, interior design, and power train and road noise isolation. Some of the other most notable differences from the C5 generation included:
- New Engine: The 2005 Corvette had an entirely new engine put into it. The LS2 was not only 50 horsepower more than its LS1 predecessor at a whopping 400 horsepower, but it came out a full 15 pound lighter as well.
- Improved Chassis: The all independent suspension was the same as the C5 before it, but GM used all new and improved components through the suspension for an even better overall ride versus the C5.
- Head Lamps: Taking cues from past generations of the Corvette, the 2005 Corvette and featured exposed head lamps.
- Transmission: The 2005 Corvette, like the C5, offered a choice of six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. The automatic four-speed received programming called Performance Shift Algorithm, which it acquired from Cadillac, while the Tremec T56 manual six speed transmission featured a shorter shift lever and had more positive action.
- Made Smaller: In an attempt to gain popularity and boost sales in Europe, GM decided to make the 2005 C6 Corvette smaller and less bulky. While this is certainly better for a more crowded pollution, they did receive much criticism for the move as some cited it was too small and compact for a true sports car.
- OnStar: For the first time in Corvette history, the 2005 Corvette came with the option of OnStar, which is a voice activated system that can be used to call for help in case of an accident and can even assist in opening a locked door.
Though the 2005 C6 Corvette may have proved to be more of an evolution of the C5 as opposed to an entirely new automobile, the super car took huge steps in the way of refinement and performance. While it is true that it was made smaller than its C5 grand dad that just meant it was more agile and precise. The design showed flashes of the past and brought to mind the classic Sting Rays of 1963-1967 and above all else the 2005 Corvette represented true value. With all the improvements made its base price still came in under that of the last C5 produced. Power and performance; is there anything better?

YIELD: Makes 8 to 10 servings
ACTIVE TIME: 45 min
TOTAL TIME: 3 3/4 hr
Make stew:
Preheat oven to 325°F.
Pat shanks dry and season with salt and pepper. Divide shanks and flour between 2 large sealable plastic bags and shake to coat, then remove shanks from bags, shaking off excess flour. Heat oil and 2 tablespoons butter in ovenproof pot over moderately high heat until foam subsides, then brown shanks well in 2 batches, 10 to 12 minutes per batch, transferring to a plate.
Reduce heat to moderate and add remaining tablespoon butter to pot along with onions, carrot, celery, and garlic and cook, stirring, until onions are pale golden, about 5 minutes. Add remaining stew ingredients and bring to a boil, stirring. Arrange shanks in pot in 1 layer and return to a simmer. Cover pot and braise shanks in middle of oven until very tender, about 2 1/2 hours. Remove strings from osso buco and discard along with parsley sprigs and bay leaf.
Make gremolata and serve osso buco:
Stir together gremolata ingredients in a small bowl and sprinkle over osso buco. Serve immediately.
Cooks' notes: Osso buco (without gremolata) can be made 1 day ahead. Cool completely, uncovered, then chill, covered. Reheat, covered, in a 325°F oven 30 to 40 minutes.
Osso buco can also be cooked in a large roasting pan. Straddle pan across 2 burners for browning and boiling, then cover pan tightly with foil for braising.

Dec. 6, 2009
SEATTLE, Wash. - Cal State Northridge took on its second top-10 team in three weeks and the Matadors made it close in the second half before falling 88-76 to the 10th-ranked Washington Huskies before 8,125 at Bank of America Arena.
Junior Lenny Daniel paced the Matadors with a career-high 24 points to go with a team-high seven rebounds. Daniel finished the night 8-for-12 from the floor and a perfect 8-for-8 from the foul line. Redshirt-sophomore Vinnie McGhee added 14 points and three assists and junior Kevin Menner chipped in 10 points. Fellow junior Michael Lizarraga also had a solid night scoring a career-high eight points to go with six rebounds and three blocks.
The story of the game, however was the Washington rebounding and the fact that the Matadors' two leading scorers Kenny Daniels and Willie Galick combined for eight points on 2-for-9 shooting. Daniels, who came in averaging 19.7 points per game, was double-teamed much of the night and was held to seven points on 2-for-7 shooting. Galick played 16 minutes and was held without a field goal and grabbed just two rebounds.
The bigger Huskies out-rebounded the Matadors by a 50-30 margin and had 24 rebounds on the offensive end resulting in 19 second-chance points.
"The two things we said were important was us rebounding, which we obviously didn't do as they beat us by 20 on the boards, and the second thing was I just didn't think we competed real well tonight," said Matador head coach Bobby Braswell. "Some of our guys really didn't compete tonight which is disappointing from a competitive standpoint."
Northridge looked good early as the Matadors took a 9-4 lead after a pair of Mark Hill free throws with 16:09 left in the half. Northridge also led by five at 11-6 after a McGhee jumper before a 7-2 Husky run knotted the score at 13-13 with 13:09 remaining in the half.
From that point on Washington never trailed as the Huskies pushed the lead to 10 (32-22) after Tyreese Breshers converted one of two free throws with 5:45 left. Washington eventually took its largest lead (46-34) into the locker room after Abdul Gaddy's layup with six seconds to go before the break.
Breshers' layup less than a minute into the second half gave the Huskies another 12-point cushion (48-36) before the Matadors engineered an 11-0 run to trim the lead to one (48-47) with 15:36 remaining in the game. McGhee and Daniel combined for nine of the Matadors' 11 points as Northridge got as close as they had been since the 12:20 mark of the first half.
But an ensuing 8-0 Washington run ultimately ballooned to a 21-5 run and the Huskies were comfortably in front 69-52 with 7:15 left on the clock.
"We cut the lead down to one and took a timeout and they went on a large run and that was the basketball game," said Braswell. "Obviously we competed ourselves back into the game but they had a run and we just didn't respond. We struggled tonight and didn't play good basketball but you have to give them credit for that."
Isaiah Thomas wound up with a team-high 21 points to lead the Huskies while Quincy Pondexter added 20. Gaddy also reached double figures with 10 points.
Cal State Northridge wraps up its two-game road trip on Tuesday, Dec. 8 as the Matadors travel to Colorado to take on the University of Denver at 6 p.m. PST.

The same thing happened to me yesterday with my Kubuntu Breezy install; I
finally found that when both my wireless card and my Ethernet card were
enabled at the same time, I could not get out past my router. When I
disabled my ethernet card from Network Manager, then everything worked fine.
Strangely, my ethernet card was still being enabled at startup, even though I
had configured it in Network Manager to not do so. I finally just
edited /etc/networking/interfaces and commented out the eth0 section
entirely, figuring that since I rarely use the ethernet card, this wouldn't
be an issue; and if I did, I could always reenable it by hand in this file.
Oh, I also ended up having to put the WEP key in /etc/networking/interfaces in
plaintext in order to get wireless working.
Hope that helps.

This is from rec.guns
"Check out these pictures: http://www.flickr.com/photos/51958423@N00/
Here's the info that came with the pics: "Today, Saturday 30 September, there was a non-injury mishap on the lower range. A customer, sighting-in his hunting rifle, forgot to remove the boresighter before firing a live round. It was a Savage bolt-action, I believe in .30-06."
Fake? I got this via e-mail, and the sender couldn't confirm the source of the pictures, so I'm not sure if they're real or not, but it looks pretty real to me. The only thing that makes me think it could be fake is that the barrel is ripped into 4 symmetrical pieces - wouldn't the barrel rip along the weakest points, i.e. the rifling?
Has anyone ever seen something like this in person?
If it's real, the guy is lucky he didn't get seriously wounded or killed."
That photo and info made the rounds on the other gun forums a week or two ago. I read it. Someone also posted a link to the original website where it came from... Who knows...

A radical Muslim who dressed his baby daughter in a hat with "I love al-Qaeda" on it tried to firebomb the home of the publisher of a controversial novel about the Prophet Mohammed.
Ali Beheshti, 40, along with Abrar Mirza, 22, have admitted conspiracy to recklessly damage property and endanger life after they poured diesel through the letterbox of a publishing house in Islington, North London.
Abbas Taj, 30, a mini-cab driver, was found guilty at Croydon Crown court of conspiracy to firebomb the home of Martin Rynja, the publisher of The Jewel Of Medina.
Beheshti's 20-month-old daughter, Farisa, was pictured wearing the hat when he took her along to a protest against Danish cartoons of the prophet Mohammed and proudly called her "the youngest member of al-Qaeda".
He waved banners vowing to "Massacre those who insult Islam" and promising "Europe, your 9/11 will come!" During the protests in 2006 he called himself Abu Jihad — meaning holy war.
The three men began their attack when publisher Mr Rynja was preparing to release The Jewel Of Medina, a novel about the Prophet Mohammed and the life of his child bride, Aisha.
The trio were planning to spend the night at Regent's Park Mosque, in North London, as part of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but shortly after arrival they set out with "fire-making equipment" for the home of Mr Rynja.
Diesel bought by Beheshti, from Ilford, East London, stored in a green container inside a white plastic bag, was transferred to the boot of Taj's Honda Accord at around 10.30pm, the evening before the arson attack.
Taj and Beheshti then drove to pick up Mirza, a mobile phone salesman, from near the Queen's Road Mosque in Walthamstow, northeast London. That place, looming over my parent's grave as it does is an abomination.
Deputy Assistant Commissioner John McDowall, head of the Met's Counter Terrorism Command, said: "These men planned to carry out arson as a violent reaction and protest against the publishing of a book. They did not care whether anybody would be killed or injured when they poured diesel through the letterbox and set fire to it.
"Photographs, tapes and documents found at their homes showed the violent mindset of this trio of arsonists. This was a professional, proactive investigation which left Ali Beheshti and Abrar Mirza with no choice but to admit their guilt when faced with overwhelming evidence.
"Abbas Taj denied being a part of the conspiracy, claiming he was an innocent party who was merely giving his friends a lift. But the jury has seen through his lies and convicted him today."
After 10 hours and 45 minutes of deliberation, Taj was convicted of conspiracy to recklessly damage property and endanger life by a majority.
The trio were planning to spend the night at Regent's Park Mosque, in North London, as part of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan, but shortly after arrival they set out with "fire-making equipment" for the home of Mr Rynja.
Uh, how did this trio of youths know the home address of Mr. Rynja? Did they, like the Black Muslims in Oakland, spend weeks surveilling their victims? Or, did they use online searches to find personal info about their victims? Or, did they have inside information from like-minded youths in the police department or at the publishing house?
Either way, this would tend to be contrary to their claims that they just happened to find themselves, on the spur of the moment during their "holy" month, at their victim's home with "fire-making equipment"?

PPCA Free Tracklists for 1/4 3 2011
The link location is at:
PPCA Free Link Quarter 3 2011
All track listings and FAQ for the popular Les Mills Program. Choreographed by Michael J McSweeney from 1999 - 2004. This ia a knowledge base for RPM. Feel free to add your own knowledge of RPM™ . Les International™ own the trademark RPM™
Choreographed by Dan McDonogh & Glen Ostergaard!
The Les Mills bike program celebrates its half century with a wild ride that includes three bonus tracks, taking the release deep into calorie-burning territory. RPM® 50 promises to be a ' game of two halves'- the first four tracks will use up all the energy you have stored from your previous food intake; from then on, you're delving into the fat stores. You'll start together and finish together, but in between, it's up to you what happens. Who's ready? After the warmup and Pace Tracks to find your working zone, you'll head into the hills, building pressure on the muscles until the bear is on your back and your legs are like jelly. Your heart will be pounding "BOOM BOOM" as you head into the Mixed Terrain and by the end of this track, your pocket money will be spent and you'll be cracking into your calorie bank big-time. Intervals and Speed Work will have your muscles humming, but by the time they take on three stages of the mountain in Track 7, they'll be singing in full voice to the somewhat ironically titled Sweet Dreams. The choice of music for Track 8 – the Ride Home – is probably more appropriate, because Shattered is exactly how you'll feel. And Letting Go signals the end of the road with a good old stretch. But wait... there's more! The team has a birthday present for you with extra hill, interval and speed tracks, including Rebel Yell (yes, your class will be calling for "more... more... more!") to switch in and out of a 45-minute workout. Happy 50th, RPM®!

Defense begins in Murrieta murder case
FRENCH VALLEY -- The attorney for accused murderer Dustin Stanford began laying the foundation Wednesday for a defense that it was his client's long-term drug use and mental illness that led him to kill his girlfriend.
Two Murrieta police officers were called by the defense to tell jurors how they had previously contacted Stanford regarding drug use -- once in 2003 and another time two months before 21-year-old Amber Frink was slain.
Frink's body was found August 13, 2004, in an upstairs bedroom at the Murrieta home of Stanford's parents. She had been stabbed two dozen times, and a bayonet with a 10-inch blade was still embedded in her back when her body was found.
Defense attorney Jeff Zimel has told jurors he is not disputing that Stanford killed Frink, but has asked them to convict his client of manslaughter, not first-degree murder as the prosecution has charged.
Before Zimel began to present his side Wednesday, Deputy District Attorney Stephen Gallon called his final witnesses after 2 1/2 days of trial and rested his case.
The forensic pathologist who performed the autopsy testified that Frink died from blood loss due to multiple stab wounds. Dr. Scott McCormick said he found 19 stab wounds to Frink's chest, wounds that protruded into her heart, both lungs and the area near her spinal column.
As the prosecutor began showing a series of autopsy photographs, Frink's mother, Patricia, broke down in tears and had to leave the Southwest Justice Center courtroom.
Stanford stared down at a table in front of him as the vivid photographs were shown, rarely glancing at the screen in the courtroom.
McCormick described for jurors in detail the wounds he found on Frink's body. He said there were 22 stab wounds and four other wounds that were more like slicing wounds. Some of the stab wounds went about 4 inches into her body, and none of the two dozen injuries would have caused instant death, he told jurors.
During questioning by Zimel, McCormick said stab wounds to Frink's neck and heart could have caused her death, but it would not have been instantaneous.
Gallon asked the doctor about the bayonet, which remained in her body until the autopsy was done, three days after she was killed. The prosecutor showed an X-ray of the weapon still embedded in Frink as it went alongside and past her spine.
McCormick said it would have "required a strong thrusting action" for someone to force the bayonet in that far. McCormick also said he believes there had to have been a second cutting instrument used to inflict many of the injuries he found, based on the size of the wounds compared to the bayonet blade. A knife with a blade about 5 inches long was found on the ground between Frink's legs when police discovered her body.
After Gallon rested his case, Zimel began establishing Stanford's documented history of drug use.
His first witness was Murrieta police Officer David Baca, who testified he stopped a car Nov. 20, 2003, in which Stanford was a passenger. He said Stanford was "very fidgety" and couldn't sit still -- moving his hands, feet and head -- in the car as Baca was talking to the driver.

The initiative is a sensible one for all parties.

For those interested, the products that are listed as DSON compatible means that you can also use them in Carrara. The DSA files that Carrara can't read, have been replaced with DUF files which Carrara 8.5 does read.
From the sticky beta thread.
So it seems to me, that the delay on a new Carrara version wasn't Carrara's programmers fault but the needs for DAZ to develop a file format which can be used by Poser. What is now done, obviously.
That is - of course - reasonable, because Poser-only users are - maybe - 40% of the paying customers at DAZ. With Genesis they lost a big part of them and they tried all the time to get them back. That's a wise business decision. And I don't blame DAZ for doing the right thing.
But, there was a "but" coming, you already knew , I blame DAZ for not being straight to their own software-customers. Yes, the Carrara users are only a small fraction and DAZ's business isn't to sell software but content. Who cares about sold Carrara software units when they gave Studio Pro away for free? But: Carrara users buy content, too. I bought a lot (2395 itemized order history and still going up) and I use them for renders in Carrara. Or simple: no use in Carrara no buy.
I digress ... (all day programming converts the brain into flavourless meat)
Why couldn't DAZ come out straight and tell its Carrara users, that they are seeking for a solution to please the Poser users? And if they found one, that these solution would be implemented into Carrara, then. Most if not all of us would have understand it (my 2nd paragraph).
They choose to left us in the dark and I'm sorry for the Carrara programmers who implemented the DS4 file formats into Carrara only to implement them again for the 4.5 file formats, which made the Carrara development-cycle so long for a beta-version. And kept them away from bug fixes and new features.
(Flavourless meat, I already mentioned it; now going back to work.)

Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth Demo
Marvel Avengers is a touch-based team fighting game coming to the Wii U.
by Tyler Winegarner on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
it looks promising, I'll check it out for Wii U. Is it out for Wii U yet?
I tried a demo of Rayman Legends at Gamestop on this.
It defeats the purpose of having two screens if both are showing the samething at the same time. And it's extremely distracting. Plus, trying to use that pad like a traditional controller feels like I was trying to control ants with the Titanic's wheel.
Just waiting for Capcom to put a SF game on the Wii U. They did OK with the 3DS version of SFIV, shouldn't be too hard of a stretch.
Looks WAY different from the last footage of this game, which made it look like a first person action game.
I like the fact that they don't even take fighting stances.They just stand there til they do something.
Sorry but looks really lame.
Good attempt at being different, great in concept, failed in delivery. Better luck next time.
funny but this one is better than kinnect one, as For motion controll fight games IT SUCKS they could use this engine with Just controllers and maybe it will work way more better.
I like the Marvel universe, but I'd rather buy the similar Dragon Ball Z: Budokai Tenkaichi 3 for Wii. I mean, c'mon, gameplay wise, it looks like the Budokai Tenkaichi games. Not that I don't like clones (I like playing some Zelda clones and I recently beat a GTA clone), but DBZ has a game that looks more interesting and it was on lower tech consoles (PS2 and Wii).
Is this really the best they can do with the marvel franchise?
Argh, not another 'just an arcade fighter' brutalization on a franchise which is worth SO MUCH MORE than to be relegated to this very monotonous genre!
In concept, I'm sure that this was well thought out and, if started with its own franchise, probably could've worked really well. But as another Marvel fighting game? Capcom has already established that their Marvel fighting games are unrivaled. And these character designs are horrendous. It's a shame that this'll probably flop, because I think this would've been a really awesome concept had the formula gotten its own franchise.
The Secret Invasion would make for a good story line in an action game more so than a fighting game.
Different approach for a fighting game, kinda neat. Ive stopped buying fighting games for a long time because they dont seem to keep my attention for very long.
It's necessary to have 2 screen on at the same time?Looks unnecesary.
looks Interesting. Def will be great for kids.
...and I thought you had to be a squid to use Nintendo's other controllers...yikes
Fighting game lol. This looks... bad.
Was really surprised seeing phoenix in this shes my favourite comic character, and I normally love her in as many games as possible. Shame it's such a crappy game, sigh.. Marvel your business has so much potential and you waste it on games that shouldn't even make it past testing.
hum..... the game is not really a game.. IMO, is more like a mini movie that you can interact... is great for young age and casual players, not the type of game that will excite "gamers"... i thought this is a 3D fighter like Tekken.... but not even close.
Well...I was interested in this. Not so much any more.
Wish DBZ kinect was more like this and less like...crap
what is up with people complaining they have to look up and down? the whole game is playable in the wiiu controller. and most games will be intelligent in using it. they will use it for maps, scanning, inventory, weapon selection, basically you'll use it instead of taking small breaks in the experience. mass effect will no longer require you to pause the action by giving you more shortcuts for abilities accessed by a single tap. i'm more worried about gameplay in this video. it's all QTE and drawing. it doesn't look very good either.
you know that lookin at both screens can be thrilling, especially on survival horroor game like ZombiU.
Hell no @ 0:33. Marvel Superheros/Marvel Vs Capcom 1, 2, 3/etc. is a fighting game. This is a piece of crap.
That phoenix's ass.
press the buttons,look at the screen,tap it,slide it,look at the big display,look at the small display,fast tap,draw a circle...is this supposed to be entertaining or annoying?cuz if it's annoying,this console is the best!
Tap tap QTE QTE tap tap draw draw ..the %$# is going on? Why do they think this is a good idea? I am sick of all this worthless junk. The Wii U is not even out and its alreasy full of junk games. I cant stand video games now in days its all QTE and "so easy anyone can do it" crap. The original Wii and its high sales have killed the gaming industry now we have devs and company who still think people want this junk. Just use the pro controller FFS! %$# the screen pad ..%$#@ it.
This is a fine case of developers turning the WiiU controller into a complete gimmick. That looks clunky and annoying to play with both buttons and on screen. ZombieU does it well. IN this game, please just the buttons.
@buccomatic Lol
@DesertEaglex24 It's frustrating to watch them humiliate marvel, in their gaming business.
@DesertEaglex24 Not just the franchise but a pretty awesome storyline as well
@AlexTracy This is crap.
apart from with masseffect while your looking down to select your ability your getting your ass pwnd because you havnt paused it the pause is actually usefull and dont even get me started on shooters using it as a map glancing away from the screen while playing CoD is a bad idea
"they will use it for maps, scanning, inventory, weapon selection"
these are not intelligent ways of using it these are just what most third party tittles will do because they cba to find something clever to do with it...well except the scanning the only games that are likely to do something clever are the exclusives such as zombieU where the whole pad is pretty much your survival kit
@desert_thief Looking at both screens breaks immersion.And will always break immersion.
If you say it is thrilling because something pops out while you were looking at your second screen then that is a false thrill.We get they are trying to get the same feel you get as you reach for your cheetos puffs and a zombie appears but still.
Pro controller only and yes i have held one of those tablets in my hands.Light but certainly not comfortable enough to be worth my time.
@HonorOfGod I have to say that even I do not like this game, I cannot say it is a junk game like you state.... why? Because I have not played it. True, that for some people first impression is important, but I think for videogames is the gameplay mechanics, design, audio and looks (among other things) is what truly determine a game to be a junk or not.
What games out of the launch titles (and launch window) do you consider junk?
lol the Wii did not killed the gaming industry... that is just an excuse many gamers and developers have created in order for them not to start using their brains and come up with games that fully uses motion controls.
Did you play the game? Did you held the gamepad in your hands and played this game?
@HonorOfGod so xbox360 and the ps3 don't have junk games? what do you call every single kinect game in existence? don't blame actual innovators for their faults. blame those who copy them in an inferior fashion.
@grove12345 I agree with you, and I think it will be a mistake for developers to FORCE the gamepad on every single game, if it is not required by design.
Do not get me wrong, I thought that many games were going to be bad on the DS (because of the dual screen and touch screen feature) and many proved me wrong, but I do not what you mean, and it is a concern that I talk about with my colleagues.
Hopefully they get the gamepad integration right :D.
@hitman047m4 You don't have to play a game to know its junk.. get off Nintendo's C^%k. You want to buy junk? go ahead I don't give a crap what you spent your money on I on the other hand will not buy this.
@aniforprez No one said anything about Xbox and PS3 what are you talking about?
the difference between the WiiU and DS is you wont hold the WiiU controller out infront of you so its just below the TV in your eyeline itll be down in your lap most of the time
@HonorOfGod lol look at your comments.... and then ask yourself why it is not hard at all for me or other to know who you are.
lol you always call everyone that has a different opinion than you a drone, and I will call you a hater and a drone too. At least I am not going around on the forums bashings other people's preferences like you do.
@hitman047m4 Very creepy ...I don't even remember that comment are you stalking me? Stop harassing anyone who post their opinions you Nintendrone. I want Nintendo to do good.. but they are not! just because its Nintendo does not mean people have to bend over and accept what ever junk they put out. Its ok to say no. Nintendo is doing a bad job ok get over it not everyone wants this useless junk. Live with it and respect other people's opinions.
@HonorOfGod Again, a very mature response for someone who have said before that is a very mature user.
@SirNormanislost Sorry for the late reply, and thanks for yours. I did understand your point on your previous comment about the line sight, and there is no doubt about it that the designers cannot force the use of the gamepad on the game if it is not needed.
@HonorOfGod Groovy, go hug a rainbow.
@hitman047m4 Blabla make it snappy creeper.
well when i got my SNES i was....8 and i dont really remember having any problems with it same with my mega drive the first controllers that really made me think about design were the PS1s dual shock sticks and the really awkward design of the N64s controller having the stick in the middle when they could of ditched the middle prong and made the right one big and put the stick and Z (it was Z on the bottom right?) on the right but it kinda worked untill you need to use the stick and yellow buttons at the same time
but ive never really had to look down that much the buttons dont move and i feel the shape of them with my thumbs something you wont be able to do with the WiiU
but that wasnt really my point with the first comment the DS works because the second screen is slightly below your eyeline a position where you would get arm ache trying to hold any controller outright infront of you to copy this on a TV let alone the WiiUs so you could glance to the Pads screen like you would a DS
@HonorOfGod lol just because you cannot read and understand does not make me anyone a drone. Why you are so Mad?
@hitman047m4 @SirNormanislost Dude. Hitman fan drone.. stop making your comments so long FFS.
@SirNormanislost Well that is why I said that the developers should not FORCE the usage of the gamepad on the games that do not need it.... because this can create serious issues.
But here is a question for you, that maybe you find the question fair or totally unrelated, but here it goes... What was your (or any gamer) first reaction when you picked any controller for the first time?.... if you are old like me I will ask to go back to the Master System and NES days, and even before. Unless you were gifted (not trying to offend you or make you sound bad), you did have to look at the control. The reaction that most people tend to have when they got a control for the first time, is to look at the control and get use to the button layout, and on top of that get use to the hand-eye-game coordination.... for most this was a very short process (depending on the control and the games off course)
Not defending the game or the design/purpose of the console, but I think we should give more credit to the human race that can quickly adapt to new technology and other elements. Meaning that there will be a point playing the game (again depending the design of the game) that many gamers using the tablet will not need to look at its screen.
Remember, as a gamer we already have a set of standards embedded in our brains, and sometimes we are challenge by new standards/ways whether we like it or not, whether is good or bad.
