- Genitive quantifiers in Japanese as reverse partitives (2004)
- Quantificational determiners in Japanese can be marked with genitive case. Current analyses (for example by Watanabe, Natural Language and Linguistic Theory, to appear) treat the genetive case marker in these cases as semantically vacuous, but we show that it has semantic effects. We propose a new analysis as reverse partitives. Following Jackendoff (MIT-Press, 1977), we assume that partitives always contain two NPs one of which is phonologically deleted. We claim that, while in normal partitives the higher noun is deleted, in reverse partitives the lower noun is deleted.
- Syntax-semantics interface (2001)
- Embedded evidentials in bulgarian (2007)
- We consider evidentials embedded in complement clauses with new data from Bulgarian. For Tibetan, Garrett has shown that embedded evidentials are always shifted to the perspective of the reported speech. In Bulgarian, we show that such a shift is almost never possible. This shows that Bulgarian evidentials should not be analyzed as modals, but rather as presuppositional.
- Illusive wide scope of universal quantifiers (1997)
- It is widely believed that existential quantifiers can bring about the semantic effects of a scope which is wider than their actual syntactic scope (See Fodor & Sag (1982), Cresti (1995), Kratzer (1995), Reinhart (1995) and Winter (1995), among many others.) On the other hand, it is assumed that the syntactic scope of universal quantifiers can be determined unequivocally by the semantics. This paper shows that this second assumption is wrong; universal quantifiers can also bring about scope illusions, though in a very specific environment. In particular, we argue that in the environment of generic tense, universal quantifiers can show the semantic effects of a scope which is wider than the one that is actually realized at LF. Our argument has four steps. First, we show that in generic contexts, universal quantifiers escape standard "scope-islands" (Section 1). Second, we show how the effects of wide scope in generic contexts can be achieved without syntactic wide scope (Section 2.1). Third, we show that this result is actually forced on us, once we take seriously certain independent issues concerning the interpretation of generic tense (Sections 2.2 - 2.4). Finally, the semantics of generic tense and, in particular, its interaction with focus, will yield some intricate new predictions, which, as we show, are borne out (Sections 3 - 5).
- Prosody and scope in German inverse linking constructions (2002)
- In German, prosody interacts with quantifier scope. We investigate this interaction in inverse linking constructions. We present evidence from elicited production of linguistically naive speakers supporting the following two claims: 1) There are two kinds of inverse linking constructions of which only the prepositional type requires a marked intonation contour for inverse scope. 2) In the prepositional construction, a double focus contour is employed with inverse scope rather that a topic-focus (rise-fall) contour as previously assumed (Krifka 1998).
- A new semantics for number (2003)
- "A team", definitely (2004)
- Beyond unpluggability (2007)

Impressive start
for boys' swim team
by MICHALLE HENDERSONThe Romeo High School boys' swim team encountered its first meet of the season on Saturday, Dec. 8, at Waterford Kettering.
The team took an impressive second place overall, competing against Waterford, Lake Orion and Andover. Waterford took first place. The original meet was scheduled with Lake Orion only, but when the meet had to be moved to a different location, due to overbooking of Lake Orion's facilities, it gave the four teams a chance to compete against each other that might not have ever happened.
"The kids over-exceeded my expectations for this meet, even my rookies," said Coach Kendall Peake. "My top returning swimmers had times that were better than last year, some were personal bests and for the first meet of the season this is huge. Plus all my rookies made things exciting, they show more hope than I ever expected."
Returning swimmers Alex Corey swam the 500 yard free with a time 5:25.23 and the 200 yard IM (personal best time) with a time of 2:14.27, finishing second place in both. Tommy Anderson also took a second place finish in the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:00.94 and a third place finish in the 100 yard backstroke with a time of 1:03.74. Jack Nigro finished first in the 50 yard freestyle with a winning time of 24.26 and also took a third place in the 100 freestyle with a time of 54.56. Shane Gardner also swam the 100 freestyle taking a fourth place with time of 55.69. Nate Lahr swam a 2:03.30 in the 200 yard freestyle taking third place.
"I'm super happy with this result, that's the meet," Coach Peake said.
Upcoming rookie stars that stood out were Joe Grochowski who swam the 50 yard freestyle in a time of 27.47.
"I don't know where that time came from, but that's a phenomenal time to post as a rookie in the free," said Peake.
Cole Lightcap swam a 100 backstroke with a time of 1:12.34 for sixth place. Jake Anderson swam the 100 yard butterfly with a time of 1:11.97. Jacob Yestrepsky swam the 500 freestyle with a time of 6:49.38. These four freshman rookies, Lightcap, Yestrepsky, Anderson and Grochowski, also swam the 200 yard medley relay together and posted a time of 2:05.33 for a seventh place finish.
Other impressive finishes were the team of Nigro, Gardner, Corey and Captain Cody French with a first place finish in the 200 yard freestyle relay with a time of 1:40.59. French also took a third in the 50 free with a 25.20.
The team managed to pull off an amazing finish for this meet even with a missing star player.
"This year I have a real team, it's going to be a good season," remarked Peake.
The next swim meet is Saturday, Dec. 15, at Brother Rice.

On Friday morning's edition of Morning Joe on cable news network MSNBC Congressman Tim Huelskamp (R-Kansas) said that he doesn't think changes in guns laws would have stopped the Sandy Elementary School shooting last week that resulted in the death of 20 children and six adults. He also talked about violent video games, but to the congressman's credit he mentioned his own parental responsibility in keeping his son from playing "M" rated games.
He said poor parenting and violent video games are likely the cause of the shooting:
"The kind of video games you just talked about, we don't let him play that, let's have them Moms and Dads of Americans stand up and actually take control of our children. We've got a mental illness issue here. But Washington has to recognize that there's no simple solutions, this has been going on a long time."
Later after a lengthy exchange over assault rifles, Scarborough fired back at Huelskamp for accusing him of politicizing the shooting to talk about gun control:
"I'm not going to let you say that I'm trying to politicize this," Scarborough said. "Maybe some of us believe that we have to do whatever we can, whether it's looking at mental health, the culture of violence in video games and Hollywood, whether it's looking at the proliferation of these weapons…We can't at least talk about guns without you questioning my integrity?"
"Joe, you can talk about it all you want, I didn't say it was you politicizing it and you're not even a politician any more," Huelskamp countered.
"But you can come on this show and say we've got to look at violent video games and a violent culture that Hollywood promotes, and that's not politicizing, but if we ever bring up guns, that's politicizing the deaths of 20 children?" Scarborough said.
You can watch the exchange in the video to your left at MSNBC.

DIY coloRed Coffee Filter Flowers
I've had lots of questions about the coffee filter flowers I did with Glimmer Mist & crepe paper ruffles. So...even though the pix are bad...just had my cell phone handy while I was doing it..I thought I'd give you some info:
step No. one> Create the Coffee Filter flowers following my video OR whatever way is easiest for YOU!
step No. two> With your favorite colors of Glimmer Mist, spritz a few squirts all over the flower. Be careful, because if you get it too wet, it will get too soggy! Let dry a bit...then sop up your excess spray with your flower....come on...sop it up! You'll get a lot of mileage from your GM! :) and...give your flowers more color!
step No. three> Take a roll of crepe paper streamers & get your sewing machine out....Simply slide in the streamer as you work it through the sewing machine with a simple straight stitch. This is so great because you can make them as long as you need them.
Below, I have them hanging down from a very high ceiling, & I did 3 different lengths for variety.
step No. four> Staple your colored flowers onto the ruffle & swag, hang, wrap, adorn!

Indicator Report - Alcohol Consumption - Binge Drinking
Why Is This Important?Binge drinking is an indicator of potentially serious alcohol abuse, and is related to driving under the influence of alcohol. It is a problem nationally, especially among males and young adults. Alcohol abuse is strongly associated with injuries and violence, chronic liver disease, fetal alcohol syndrome, and risk of other acute and chronic health conditions. Binge drinking among women of childbearing age is a problem because of the risk for prenatal alcohol exposure. Birth defects associated with prenatal alcohol exposure can occur during the first 6 to 8 weeks of pregnancy before a woman knows she is pregnant.
Data NotesA drink of alcohol is 1 can or bottle of beer, 1 glass of wine, 1 can or bottle of wine cooler, 1 cocktail, or 1 shot of liquor. `
These rates are crude rates, not age-adjusted, given that the Healthy People 2020 Objective is based on crude rates.
Data SourcesUtah Data: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, Office of Public Health Assessment, Utah Department of Health. U.S. Data: Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS), Division of Behavioral Surveillance, CDC Office of Surveillance, Epidemiology, and Laboratory Services.

How to Dress Well helmsman Tom Krell built his following on contorting the familiar. On his debut LP Love Remains, Krell took the sounds of FM-bred R&B smooth jams and twisted them into his own surreal shapes, creating an effect akin to dozing off on a Greyhound bus to the faint lull of the driver's radio station. You never knew you even liked smooth R&B until you heard it that way. "My music may reference pop, but it will never be populist," he said recently. "Part of populist music is that the form has to be completely un-strange, it has to completely recognizable without any one twinge of strangeness. But, to me, the way loss registers in the world is as strangeness, as something that you can't quite process."
Love Remains rode this to warranted acclaim, but it left questions as to whether this was an M.O. that could be sustained over the course of multiple records — the very same questions that oft associated brooders The xx found themselves facing with their recent sophomore LP. On Total Loss, Krell is far more confrontational and less sedated in the face of his woes, upping the sentimental weight in the process, just as the difference between the album titles would suggest.
Krell peels back the curtain that so heavily smothered Love Remains, letting his own voice carry more of the load. The over-the-top effects are toned down so that sometimes Krell's lyrics are even discernible. It's a less unified effort than its predecessor because of this, but more importantly, Krell treads new grounds. "& It Was U" is his boldest vocal display to date, a nearly a capella cut on which he aims his undistorted falsetto point blank: "You don't have to worry/ My love will be there for you." The big surprise, though, is the instrumental "World I Need You, Won't Be Without You", a violin ensemble arrangement similar to DeVotchKa's "How It Ends" that's without a hint of R&B or any other attributes of the established How to Dress Well sound.
Krell said that Total Loss is to mourning as what Love Remains is to melancholy, and the album's frequent stylistic jumps reflect this. Whereas melancholy can be a long-lasting or even comfortable constant, experiencing real loss is confusing, uneven, and anything but certain. This is a bus ride that Krell would rather you be awake for.
Essential Tracks: "Set It Right", "World I Need You, Won't Be Without You"

If you're not @mun.ca, then you're not at MUN
Memorial has introduced a new single e-mail policy that will make official communications between students and the university more secure, efficient and environmentally friendly.
The university will send most official correspondence to students through their @mun.ca designated e-mail addresses only.
This will replace much of the printed material that the university sends to students each semester.
- To learn more, check out the Single E-Mail for Students and Employees policy.
- Find out how the policy changes the way the Office of the Registrar communicates with students.
- To get your @mun.ca account, visit Computing and Communications.
Third Public Information Session on Single E-mail Policy
Sept 22nd – 3:00 – 5:00 in C-2045.
All are welcome to attend.

We've already told you that Born is coming to Days this week, but we recently learned more about who he will be playing. It seems the veteran soap actor will portray the dean of the physics department at Salem University where he will of course interact with Max, Stephanie and Nick.
In an interview with SOAPnet, Born previewed that Nick becomes the dean's protégé after developing an alternative fuel cell. That's all well and good, but what we all really want to know is, will Born play another deliciously devious character he's so famous for? He just might, as in the same article, Born teased, "This guy's going to have a lot of different sides to him, and some aren't going to be pleasant, but he won't be a stock villain." It definitely sounds promising!
So the next question is, after messing with Nick's work for the past few months, will Max turn out to be the person who really came up with the revolutionary fuel cell? Tune in May 29th to find out!

The Power of Partnering Together - Creating Synergy Between Enrollment and Technology Departments That Transforms Performance
About the Event
Embry-Riddle's Worldwide Campus was faced with the challenge of better engaging student prospects to support higher enrollment targets and a growing number of degree programs. Through the formation of a synergistic relationship between Enrollment Management and Technology Services, a new philosophy for engaging students was implemented using a new Customer Relationship Management (CRM) and communications system, operations/call center, and dashboard metrics to track success. Two years after implementation, applications have increased more than 15% and the enrollment departments stand confident to engage in marketing initiatives with a solid framework and metrics to support student prospecting. The Worldwide campus, through more than 150 locations around the world and through technology-enhanced learning, educates more than 26,000 students and is growing annually, serving mostly adults working in the aviation/aerospace industries and active-duty military.
More specifically, on April 4th, Bill Hampton, Becky Vasquez and John Watret of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University Worldwide, which in 2010-2011 saw more than 92,000 course registrations, will present how the University first identified the opportunity to achieve better results and integrate programs to better engage prospective students. On a detailed level, they will explain how the University has built a new enrollment management culture that establishes meaningful relationships with prospective students through a proactive admissions process and delivering new efficiencies and satisfaction levels with financial aid provisions. Overall, the speakers will explain how Embry-Riddle has developed a systematic, transparent, and accountable solution, and show how this has significantly enhanced enrollment and outcomes. Of special interest to those working in university admissions, marketing and technology roles will be Embry-Riddle's identification of student prospect stages and segmentation, their use of targeted communications, and their development of a staged set of support levels. Among other things, using data from their own experience, the presenters will show how Embry-Riddle has seen a 10.5% increase in admissions in 2010-2011 over the previous year and has also seen growth of 82% in federal aid disbursement since the 2007-2008 academic year.
Who Should Attend:
Anyone involved in university marketing, student prospecting, admissions, and technology will benefit from this event. Also, since the Embry-Riddle approach also relies in part on contemporary social media technology and techniques, those involved in these functions or contemplating their possible use in their own settings will get a first-hand look at how Embry-Riddle has successfully utilized these options.

In the aftermath of the autumn/winter 2013 menswear collections in London, Milan and Paris, the AnOther team share their personal highlights alongside our favourite catwalk and backstage moments courtesy of AnOther's photographers.
Alister Mackie, creative director of Another Man
"The highlight for me was working on Louis Vuitton, largely because of all the incredible fabric development that had gone into the collection. The result was an extravagant array of materials, including mink lasered to look like snow leopard, knitwear woven from Himalayan yaks and needle punched chinchilla, alongside traditional jacquard covered in eccentric animals conjured from the brains of the Chapman brothers. The accessories were extraordinary too, with belt buckles and cufflinks fashioned out of stone taken from the summit of Everest, and pearls – engraved to look like eyeballs – turned into dress pins. Really spectacular.
This season was also special for me as I was able to watch a few shows, including Maison Martin Margiela, a really beautiful experience, especially as the cast included a number of friends of mine, and Lanvin, a show which really inspired me with all the new ideas running through it. It was my first time seeing Comme des Garçons in a long time and it was a great show – the venue was a green screen studio. I loved seeing the clothes up close. And it was really exciting to see Hedi back on the menswear calendar at Saint Laurent – great show, great collection, great music. The ermine coat was up there alongside our Snow Leopard Coat at Louis Vuitton as my favourite garments of this season."
"It was really exciting to see Hedi back on the menswear calendar at Saint Laurent – great show, great collection, great music" — Alister Mackie
Bryan McMahon, senior fashion editor of Another Man
"One of the highlights from the collections was Louis Vuitton's collaboration with Jake and Dinos Chapman on prints – with woven fabrics on suits, smoking jackets and bags, it all looked amazing. I also really liked the story of the Topman Design show – the idea of travel and exploration felt really fresh. At Alexander McQueen, the set and sense of atmosphere along with the hair made for a really strong comeback – especially showing in London. It felt really right. Dior had a really great set and the use of colour in the collection was very interesting and bold. Dries Van Noten used paisley really well to convey the idea of 'the morning after' – waking up and throwing on your girlfriend's clothes. And finally, the hair at Rick Owens was mega!"
"The hair at Rick Owens was mega!" — Bryan McMahon
Ben Cobb, editor of Another Man
"My highlights were the big collars, flared trousers and tank-tops at Raf Simons. The 70s through the genius filter of Raf Simons. Prada was low-key, tasteful and very English: a dreamy world of domestic bliss. I loved the hard hippy heaven at Dries Van Noten created from paisley pyjamas and leather trousers. At Maison Martin Margiela the standout piece was an amazing patchwork fur cape, and the Saint Laurent show ended Paris with a big grunge bang. And one long shopping list!"
"Prada was low-key, tasteful and very English: a dreamy world of domestic bliss" — Ben Cobb
Joel Bough, fashion editor of Another Man
"I mainly loved the moments that had a certain sense of humour. I especially liked the aesthetic at Martine Rose, I'd wear most of, it especially the wide leg trousers. Retro but current; funny, but serious. For the same reason I loved the knitwear at Chris Shannon, which reminded me of Saturday morning TV. I also liked what Shaun Samson did with the serenity prayer. I think spirituality in fashion is going to have a big moment sometime very soon and it took an American to think outside the box at the London collections."
"I think spirituality in fashion is going to have a big moment sometime very soon and it took an American to think outside the box at the London collections" — Joel Bough
Laura Bradley, commissioning editor of anothermag.com
"I loved the bunny ears at Comme des Garçons and the use of lilac and green for menswear was really appealing. Hair was impressive across the board – waves at Alexander Mcqueen and slick side partings at Dior and Raf Simons. I also enjoyed the striking use of colour at Hermès and Wooyoungmi. And of course, Vivienne Westwood arriving for her London show on her beloved bicycle.

Should MRSA infections be reported?
Apparently while physicians think MRSA is a big deal, they don't think infections should have to be reported. Or so says a national study of about 300 doctors based on their reaction to a video of a reporter talking about it. [Read More]

Recipe by Campbell's Kitchen
"Ground beef is good in tacos, but this fork-tender shredded beef makes good tacos even better. This slow cooker dish is perfect for buffets, tail-gating or casual family dinners."

1 (10.5 ounce) can
Campbell's® Condensed French Onion Soup
1 tablespoon
chili powder
1/2 teaspoon
ground cumin
1 (2 pound)
boneless beef chuck roast
2 tablespoons
finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
taco shells
1 cup
shredded Cheddar cheese
Shredded lettuce
Sour cream
getting ready to eat it but so far the meat is delicious. I just wanted to add that the meat reached 170 degrees in 4 hours on low. So I went ahead and rested the meat like the recipe says, and shredded. and kept on warm until dinnertime. I have only tasted the meat, but like I said, I think this will be a good keeper! I rated only 4 stars because I haven't actually tried it as a taco yet.
Following the recipe exactly, I found the meat rather tasteless. It definitely needed salt. The chuck roast didn't shred very well but that could just be the kind I got. This recipe wasn't horrible, but it didn't make it into my recipe box!

This is so flavorful and so easy! We use it in hard shell taco's, and also make burritos out of it. VERY yummy!!!!!
Just had this tonight. I added a little more cumin and chili powder. It was delish. My father and I loved it. No more ground beef for us. Highly recommend it.
Easy and the kids ate them. I served with diced onions, shredded ranchero cheese and soft corn tortillas (heated). Everyone added onions, etc. to their taste. Two pounds made about 9 tacos - next time I'll buy a bigger chuck roast (family of 5).
Everyone in the family enjoyed these and they are so easy to make!
I have only given 4 stars as I didnt follow the recipe exactly as I didnt have some of the ingredients but what I did make we all enjoyed and I think that the orig. would probably be very nice.
I used tomato soup instead of the french onion and I used a full packet of taco seasoning instead of any other seasoning. Half way through the cooking I added a large tin of sweetcorn and some more water. Served with stir fried veg, boiled rice and soft tacos
These tacos are so bland, no amount of jalepenos and salsa can redeem them. This recipe needs serious modifications.

Great deals from Fabric.com! Click here
Thrifting in Huntington, WV, was on our to-do list while we were visiting my husband's parents. One afternoon, my in-laws watched the toddler while we rummaged through other people's discarded clothing for sweet deals.
We stopped by this placed called The Mission, a hot, disorganized thrift store in an old wooden church that funded a bible college in the area. I knew this place would pay off if I dug a little. I was right. Not only did I find two fabulous pairs of unworn shoes, I found an amazing authentic Hawaiian dress. I immediately saw a beach-worthy maxi dress, and snatched it up for $1.50.
The first thing I did was cut off the top of the maxi dress right under the armpits. I saved all that material, cutting little pieces into strips for the ruffle. Next, I sewed a casing in the top of the maxi dress. The next step was elastic around the waist of the maxi dress refashion. Now, I haven't attempted elastic thread yet, although I do have it, but I went the route of sewing the elastic directly onto the waist of my maxi dress refashion….and after three tries (and lots of seam ripping) I got it right. Note to self: next time, draw your waist with chalk (NOTED, SELF!)
I tried it on and BOY was it still really, really big. I hated the idea of hemming my maxi dress refashion on the sides because there was some gorgeous pattern over there, but I had to do it — It was gigantic without it. So off it went. I flared the sides a little so I would have room to walk.
I ended up with two very long strips of patterned material, so I decided to use that for a sash for my maxi dress refashion. It was the perfect size and bonus points for making my first sash!
Next, I ruffled and sewed the material on the top of the maxi dress refashion, threw on some shoes and a strapless bra that apparnetly no longer fits (whomp whomp) and played a little fashion model with Hub.
Me: Take a picture of me with this maxi dress refashion.
Him: I guess.
Me: Oh, wait, let me go get some shoes.
Me: Ok, I'm ready. No, wait, let me turn on the light.
Me: Ok, take it.
Him: How does it look?
Me: AWFUL! Take another!
Him: THIS IS RIDICULOUS!
(In his defense, he was watching baseball.)
So I love how it turned out and the best part? $1.50!!!!!!1111 You guys, refashioning rocks. Now all I need is a trip to the beach.

Senate Finance Chairman Max Baucus said Monday he would introduce a sweeping tax bill today to extend expiring provisions and prevent the alternative minimum tax from hitting 21 million more taxpayers next year. The measure would be called up as early as today as a substitute amendment to the House-passed tax extender bill, which was approved by that chamber last month without the AMT patch.
It might also add unrelated policies to attract GOP votes. That might include an extension of payments to rural counties historically dependent on timber sales for revenue, important in Western states such as Oregon, home to Republican Sen. Gordon Smith.
The AMT portion would not be offset, but other provisions would be.
Smith was among 41 GOP senators who signed a letter in April opposing offsets for extensions of expiring tax policies, but he also is up for re-election this year. A Smith spokeswoman was unavailable at presstime.
GOP aides have taken to calling Baucus' substitute "the shopping cart," referring to Democrats' quest for votes.
Even if Smith were to support it, GOP leaders have as many as 46 committed 'no' votes, according to sources, meaning the bill could still be in limbo after today.
For the White House and most Republicans, they do not believe in offsetting extensions of existing tax law, arguing that spending programs continue in the budget baseline even after they expire and do not require offsets.
"We've seen this movie before: Democrats want to raise taxes on some to extend current tax law for others. Here's how the movie ends: It won't happen," a senior Senate GOP aide said. "In the end, tax relief will be extended and without raising taxes."
The underlying bill would extend expiring tax breaks important to businesses, such as the research and development credit, multinationals' active financing exemption for taxes deferred on income earned abroad and renewable energy incentives. Popular tax breaks for individuals are included as well, such as extensions of deductions for state and local sales taxes and college tuition.
Like a similar House bill, it would be paid for through closing a loophole allowing hedge fund and other investment managers to defer taxes on their compensation in offshore accounts. It would delay for 10 years a tax break on companies' worldwide interest expenses set to go into effect next year.
Despite initial hesitation over the offsets, a huge coalition of business interests has decided they are better off with their tax breaks extended. "These companies realize that in order to get extenders done now, they, along with Congress, must pay for these provisions," Baucus said on the floor.
Baucus added the revenue-raisers represent "sound tax policy" and the Senate is faced with a choice between incentives for creating jobs and medications and defending tax breaks for hedge fund managers. "I believe the choice is easy," he said, adding that his decision to include an AMT patch without offsets was a nod to Republicans.
Hundreds of companies signed onto a letter to all 100 senators Monday urging support for the bill and final passage before the July Fourth recess.
"Failure by Congress to move quickly to extend these important provisions will bring investment in renewable energy and energy efficient projects to a standstill, make it more difficult for U.S. companies to invest in critical R&D projects in this country, reduce private sector investment in business and economic development projects in distressed areas, and force many U.S.-based financial institutions to suffer a massive tax increase at a time when they can least afford it," the letter states.
Still, sources said the animosity over judicial nominations and the majority's unwillingness to allow GOP amendments is likely to stymie action on the bill.
They noted Finance ranking member Charles Grassley has signed onto the GOP substitute, which would extend the expiring provisions as well as the AMT without offsets, whereas Grassley usually works together with Baucus on tax bills. Few expect Majority Leader Reid to allow a vote on the GOP substitute.
"The Senate has had a tradition of amendments for hundreds of years, and if you skip the Finance Committee and go straight to the floor, also without amendments, it's difficult to see anything getting done," said one industry source. "All of a sudden you bring up a tax bill, it's open season in terms of pent-up demand. Tomorrow we're back on climate change, and nobody's legislating."

Tuesday, 03 September 2013 19:05
Although light heavyweight was once one of the most competitive and stacked divisions in the company, that's no longer the case here in 2013.
This is due in no small part to champion Jon Jones leaving a path of scorched earth in his wake as he made his comet-like ascent to superstardom. Jones can count many of the divisions biggest names of the past few years among his victims, which is great from an accomplishment perspective but creates problems when it comes to the UFC providing him with fresh match ups. Considering the emphatic nature of Jones' victories over names like Rashad Evans and Lyoto Machida, potential rematches between those men and the champ don't hold a lot of intrigue at the moment.
However, A quick look over at the UFC's light heavyweight top ten reveals a surprising statistic: Jones has only defeated 4 of the 10 men on this list (with one of them, Chael Sonnen, being stuck in divisional limbo at the moment). One may think this indicates plenty of potential opponents for Jones waiting in the wings, but a closer look reveals this just isn't the case.
#8 ranked Gegard Mousasi wants to drop down to middleweight. #7 ranked Dan Henderson is coming off two loses in a row. #6 ranked Antonio Rogerio Nogueira in a title fight isn't exactly the stuff top drawing pay per views are made of. #4 ranked Phil Davis is in the midst of making a case from himself as a worthy contender with three wins in a row, but he's not there yet.
This leaves just two men at the top of the division who haven't already lost to the champ: #1 ranked Alexander Gustafsson, who is challenging for Jones' title later this month at UFC 165, and Glover Teixeira.
Now it's entirely possible Gustafsson could somehow win the title from Jones, in which case the de rigueur rematch would likely keep the division on hold until the middle of next year. But let's be real. How many people outside the Sweede's camp truly see Gustafsson taking the title from the preternaturally gifted Jones? Sure, Gustafsson is a great talent and anything can happen in a fight, but there's a reason the champ opened as a -800 favorite when the UFC 165 main event was announced.
If things indeed shake out how the odds makers are forecasting when Jones meets Gustafsson in Toronto later this month, then the 4-0 UFC and 19-0 since 2006 Teixeira would likely be the clear choice to get the next crack at the champ.
Of course in order for Teixeira to redeem his golden ticket and capitalize on the biggest opportunity of his career he needs to first get by Bader this Wednesday night. While the Brazilian is favored to win, Bader is no slouch. The former 3 time PAC 10 wrestling champ and 2 time All American could conceivably take Teixeira to the mat and control him for three rounds en route to a decision victory.
A Bader victory would throw the UFC light heavyweight title picture in disarray however. Bader isn't even ranked in the top ten and he's 3-3 in his past 6 fights. What's worse, even if Bader won a few fights in a row after defeating Teixeira, the loss to Tito Ortiz on his record likely works against him politically given the current climate. I'm sure last thing UFC President Dana White wants is to be put in the position to give the recent Bellator-signee Ortiz the opening to say he owns a victory over a man challenging for a UFC title.
However it likely won't come to that as Teixeira has the right tools to defeat Bader. Standing up he's far more polished and can change the complexion of a fight in a second thanks to the wrecking balls he calls fists. If Bader does take the fight to the ground Teixeira is also proficient there as well. The Brazilian transplant is a 2nd degree BJJ black belt who won his UFC debut over Kyle Kingsbury by way of first round arm triangle. Taking him down is far from a guaranteed path to victory. Unfortunately for Bader though it just might be his best bet considering the differential between the two fighter's standup skills.
All things considered, Teixeira should walk out of the Mineirinho Arena with another win on his record. Which is good news for Teixeira as well as for the UFC. Teixeira vs. Jones may not be a huge money matchup, but it's far better than any of the other alternatives out there.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Things are looking better for the Nueces County Children's Advocacy Center, thanks to H-E-B.
After learning that it will not receive about $100,000 in federal funding this year, the grocery store chain delivered some good news to the local center that helps abused and neglected children Friday -- it is making a $50,000 donation.
The money is coming from H-E-B's Tournament of Champions Program Fund, which goes toward helping communities build stronger youth programs, H-E-B spokeswoman Shelley Parks said.
"This is such a vital organization and so we felt we needed to step up to help it keep its doors open in 2009," Parks said. "We are also urging other businesses to help them reach the $100,000 that they are missing."
To donate: 855-9058 or www.nuecescac.org.

Gaia hypothesis to be tested
This isn't the kind of article I'd normally post, nor will it garner the same kind of interest, but I found it interesting. I know at least one other person also will.
The Gaia hypothesis -- first articulated by James Lovelock and Lynn Margulis in the 1970s -- holds that Earth's physical and biological processes are inextricably connected to form a self-regulating, essentially sentient, system.
One of the early predictions of this hypothesis was that there should be a sulfur compound made by organisms in the oceans that was stable enough against oxidation in water to allow its transfer to the air. Either the sulfur compound itself, or its atmospheric oxidation product, would have to return sulfur from the sea to the land surfaces. The most likely candidate for this role was deemed to be dimethylsulfide.
well, i'll say the same thing i once said to an annoying hippy fucker in college who once lectured me for drinking out of a styrofoam cup in the cafeteria with a bunch of maudlin claptrap about "we need to protect the earth" (which, as i pointed out, really means we need to protect ourselves): if some "gaia hypothesis" is real and the earth is actually sentient, we are probably like headlice to it and it would love nothing more than to be rid of us.
probably, just like we are happiest when we're scrubbed thoroughly clean, the earth would love nothing more than to be a mass of molten rock again.
"I asked my father,
I said, 'Father change my name.'
The one I'm using now it's covered up
with fear and filth and cowardice and shame."

Can you recognize the quote from this song? Isn't that Terrence McKenna? (Warning: the video may contain techno-hippie vibes)
In trying to think conservatively about the possibility of a nonhuman local intelligence, it seems to me that Nature herself presents intelligence. The understanding of Nature is the understanding of complex integrated systems of such complexity that denying them consciousness is just a reluctance of the reductionist mind. For anyone not burdened by that prejudice, it's self-evident that Nature is alive, cognizant, responding.

5 out of 6 found this review helpful.
Recommend: Yes
A lot of times spray paint will run if not applied correctly. Too much paint applied at one time will cause drips. Use quick, steady line strokes across a section and complete until the whole surface is is covered with a thin coat of paint. Once it dries, repeat as many times necessary for a thick, drip free covered surface!

T. Veldhuizen, "Expression Templates," C++ Report, Vol. 7 No. 5 June 1995, pp. 26-31

The technique of expression templates allows expressions to be passed to functions as an argument and inlined into the function body. Here are some examples:
// Integrate a function from 0 to 10 DoublePlaceholder x; double result = integrate(x/(1.0+x), 0.0, 10.0); // Count the elements between 0 and 100 in a collection of int List<int> myCollection; IntPlaceholder y; int n = myCollection.count(y >= 0 && y <= 100); // Fill a vector with a sampled sine function Vector<double> myVec(100); Vector<double>::placeholderType i; myVec.fill(sin(2*M_PI*i/100)); // eqn in terms of element #In each of these examples, the compiler produces a function instance which contains the expression inline. The technique has a similar effect to Jensen's Device in ALGOL 60 [1]. Expression templates also solve an important problem in the design of vector and matrix class libraries. The technique allows developers to write code such as
Vectorand have the compiler generate code to compute the result in a single pass, without using temporary vectors.
y(100), a(100), b(100), c(100), d(100); y = (a+b)/(c-d);
So how does it work? The trick is that the expression is parsed at compile time, and stored as nested template arguments of an "expression type. Let's work through a simplified version of the first example, which passes a mathematical function to an integration routine. We'll invoke a function evaluate() which will evaluate f(x) at a range of points:
int main() { DExpr<DExprIdentity> x; // Placeholder evaluate(x/(1.0+x), 0.0, 10.0); return 0; }For this example, an expression is represented by an instance of the class DExpr<A> (short for double expression). This class is a wrapper which disguises more interesting expression types. DExpr<A> has a template parameter (A) representing the interesting expression, which can be of type DBinExprOp (a binary operation on two subexpressions), DExprIdentity (a placeholder for the variable x), or DExprLiteral (a constant or literal appearing in the expression). For example, the simple subexpression "1.0+x" would be represented by the expression type shown in Figure 1. These expression types are inferred by the compiler at compile time.
Figure 1. (A) Parse tree of "1.0+x", showing the similarity to the expression type generated by the compiler (B). The type DApAdd is an applicative template class which represents an addition operation. In (C), the type name is shown in a non-expanded view. For this implementation, type names are similar to a postfix traversal of the expression tree.
To write a function which accepts an expression as an argument, we include a template parameter for the expression type. Here is the code for the evaluate() routine. The parenthesis operator of expr is overloaded to evaluate the expression:
template<class Expr> void evaluate(DExpr<Expr> expr, double start, double end) { const double step = 1.0; for (double i=start; i < end; i += step) cout << expr(i) << endl; }When the above example is compiled, an instance of evaluate() is generated which contains code equivalent to the line
cout << i/(1.0+i) >> endl;This happens because when the compiler encounters x/(1.0+x) in
evaluate(x/(1.0+x), 0.0, 10.0);it uses the return types of overloaded + and / operators to infer the expression type shown in Figure 2. Note that although the expression object is not instantiated until run time, the expression type is inferred at compile time. An instance of this expression type is passed to the evaluate() function as the first argument. When the fragment expr(i) is encountered, the compiler builds the expression inline, substituting i for the placeholder x. The mechanics of this are explained further on.
Figure 2. Template instance generated by x/(1.0+x): DExpr<DBinExprOp< DExpr <DExprIdentity>, DExpr<DBinExprOp<DExpr<DExprLiteral>, DExpr<DExprIdentity>, DApAdd>>, DApDivide>>
As an example of how the return types of operators cause the compiler to infer expression types, here is an operator/() which produces a type representing the division of two subexpressions DExpr<A> and DExpr<B>:
template<class A, class B> DExpr<DBinExprOp<DExpr<A>, DExpr<B>, DApDivide> > operator/(const DExpr<A>& a, const DExpr<B>& b) { typedef DBinExprOp<DExpr<A>, DExpr<B>,DApDivide> ExprT; return DExpr<ExprT>(ExprT(a,b)); }The return type contains a DBinExprOp, which represents a binary operation, with template parameters DExpr<A> and DExpr<B> (the two subexpressions being divided), and DApDivide, which is an applicative template class encapsulating the division operation. The return type is a DBinExprOp<...> disguised by wrapping it with a DExpr<...> class. If we didn't disguise everything as DExpr<>, we would have to write eight different operators to handle the combinations of DBinExprOp<>, DExprIdentity, and DExprLiteral which can occur with operator/(). (More if we wanted unary operators!)
The typedef ExprT is the type DBinExprOp< ... , ... , DApDivide> which is to be wrapped by a DExpr<...>. Expression classes take constructor arguments of the embedded types; for example, DExpr<A> takes a const A& as a constructor argument. So DExpr<ExprT> takes a constructor argument of type const ExprT&. These arguments are needed so that instance data (such as literals which appear in the expression) are preserved.
The idea of applicative template classes has been borrowed from the Standard Template Library (STL) developed by Alexander Stepanov and Meng Lee, of Hewlett Packard Laboratories [2]. The STL has been accepted as part of the ISO/ANSI Standard C++ Library. In the STL, an applicative template class provides an inline operator() which applies an operation to its arguments and returns the result. For expression templates, the application function can (and should) be a static member function. Since operator() cannot be declared static, an apply() member function is used instead:
// DApDivide -- divide two doubles class DApDivide { public: static inline double apply(double a, double b) { return a/b; } };When a DBinExprOp's operator() is invoked, it uses the applicative template class to evaluate the expression inline:
template<class A, class B, class Op> class DBinExprOp { A a_; B b_; public: DBinExprOp(const A& a, const B& b) : a_(a), b_(b) { } double operator()(double x) const { return Op::apply(a_(x), b_(x)); } };It is also possible to incorporate functions such as exp() and log() into expressions, by defining appropriate functions and applicative templates. For example, an expression object representing a normal distribution can be easily constructed:
double mean=5.0, sigma=2.0; // mathematical constants DExpr<DExprIdentity> x; evaluate( 1.0/(sqrt(2*M_PI)*sigma) * exp(sqr(x-mean)/ (-2*sigma*sigma)), 0.0, 10.0);One of the neat things about expression templates is that mathematical constants are evaluated only once at run time, and stored as literals in the expression object. The evaluate() line above is equivalent to:
double __t1 = 1.0/(sqrt(2*M_PI)*sigma); double __t2 = (-2*sigma*sigma); evaluate( __t1 * exp(sqr(x-mean)/__t2), 0.0, 10.0);Another advantage is that it's very easy to pass parameters (such as the mean and standard deviation) -- they're stored as variables inside the expression object. With pointers-to- functions, these would have to be stored as globals (messy), or passed as arguments in each call to the function (expensive).
Figure 3 shows a benchmark of a simple integration function, comparing callback functions and expression templates to manually inlined code. Expression template versions ran at 95% the efficiency of hand-coded C. With larger expressions, the advantage over pointers-to-functions shrinks. This advantage is also diminished if the function using the expression (in this example, integrate()) does significant computations other than evaluating the expression.
It is possible to generalize the classes presented here to expressions involving arbitrary types (instead of just doubles). Expression templates can also be used in situations where multiple variables are needed -- such as filling out a matrix according to an equation. Since most compilers do not yet handle member function templates, a virtual function trick has to be used to pass expressions to member functions of a class. This technique is illustrated in the next example, which solves a significant outstanding problem in the design of matrix and vector class libraries.
DoubleVec y(1000), a(1000), b(1000), c(1000), d(1000); y = (a+b)/(c-d);Until now, this level of abstraction has come at a high cost, since vector and matrix operators are usually implemented using temporary vectors [3]. Evaluating the above expression using a conventional class library generates code equivalent to:
DoubleVec __t1 = a+b; DoubleVec __t2 = c-d; DoubleVec __t3 = __t1/__t2; y = __t3;Each line in the code above is evaluated with a loop. Thus, four loops are needed to evaluate the expression y=(a+b)/(c- d). The overhead of allocating storage for the temporary vectors (__t1, __t2, __t3) can also be significant, particularly for small vectors. What we would like to do is evaluate the expression in a single pass, by fusing the four loops into one:
// double *yp, *ap, *bp, *cp, *dp all point into the vectors. // double *yend is the end of the y vector. do { *yp = (*ap + *bp)/(*cp - *dp); ++ap; ++bp; ++cp; ++dp; } while (++yp != yend);By combining the ideas of expression templates and iterators, it is possible to generate this code automatically, by building an expression object which contains vector iterators rather than placeholders. Here is the declaration for a class DVec, which is a simple "vector of doubles". DVec declares a public type iterT, which is the iterator type used to traverse the vector (for this example, an iterator is a double*). DVec also declares Standard Template Library compliant begin() and end() methods to return iterators positioned at the beginning and end of the vector:
class DVec { private: double* data_; int length_; public: typedef double* iterT; DVec(int n) : length_(n) { data_ = new double[n]; } ~DVec() { delete [] data_; } iterT begin() const { return data_; } iterT end() const { return data_ + length_; } template<class A> DVec& operator=(DVExpr<A>); };Expressions involving DVec objects are of type DVExpr<A>. An instance of DVExpr<A> contains iterators which are positioned in the vectors being combined. DVExpr<A> lets itself be treated as an iterator by providing two methods: double operator*() evaluates the expression using the current elements of all iterators, and operator++() increments all the iterators:
template<class A> class DVExpr { private: A iter_; public: DVExpr(const A& a) : iter_(a) { } double operator*() const { return *iter_; } void operator++() { ++iter_; } };The constructor for DVExpr<A> requires a const A& argument, which contains all the vector iterators and other instance data (eg. constants) for the expression. This data is stored in the iter_ data member. When a DVExpr<A> is assigned to a Dvec, the Dvec::operator=() method uses the overloaded * and ++ operators of DVExpr<A> to store the result of the vector operation:
template<class A> DVec& DVec::operator=(DVExpr<A> result) { // Get a beginning and end iterator for the vector iterT iter = begin(), endIter = end(); // Store the result in the vector do { *iter = *result; // Inlined expression ++result; } while (++iter != endIter); return *this; }Binary operations on two subexpressions or iterators A and B are represented by a class DVBinExprOp<A,B,Op>. The operation itself (Op) is implemented by an applicative template class. The prefix ++ and unary * (dereferencing) operators of DVBinExprOp<A,B,Op> are overloaded to invoke the ++ and unary * operators of the A and B instances which it contains.
As before, operators build expression types using nested template arguments. Several versions of the each operator are required to handle the combinations in which DVec, DVExpr<A>, and numeric constants can appear in expressions. For a simple example of how expressions are built, consider the code snippet
DVec a(10), b(10); y = a+b;Since both 'a' and 'b' are of type DVec, the appropriate operator+() is:
DVExpr<DVBinExprOp<DVec::iterT,DVec::iterT,DApAdd> > operator+(const DVec& a, const DVec& b) { typedef DVBinExprOp<DVec::iterT,DVec::iterT,DApAdd> ExprT; return DVExpr<ExprT>(ExprT(a.begin(),b.begin())); }All the operators which handle DVec types invoke DVec::begin() to get iterators. These iterators are bundled as part of the returned expression object. As before, it's possible to add to this scheme so that literals can be used in expressions, as well as unary operators (such as x = -y), and functions (sin, exp). It's also not difficult to write a templatized version of DVec and the DVExpr classes, so that vectors of arbitrary types can be used. By using another template technique called "traits", it's even possible to implement standard type promotions for vector algebra, so that adding a Vec<int> to a Vec<double> produces a Vec<double>, etc. Figure 4 shows the template instance inferred by the compiler for the expression y = (a+b)/(c-d). Although long and ugly type names result, the vector expression is evaluated entirely inline in a single pass by the assignResult() routine.

Benchmark Results
To evaluate the efficiency of the expression templates approach
to evaluating vector expressions, benchmark results were
obtained comparing its performance to hand-crafted C code, and
that of a conventional vector class. The performance was
measured for the expression y=a+b+c.
Figure 5 shows the performance of the expression template technique, as compared to hand-coded C, using the Borland C++ V4.0 compiler and an 80486 processor. With a few adjustments of compiler options and tuning of the assignResult() routine, the same assembly code was generated by the expression template technique as hand coded C. The poorer performance for smaller vectors was due to the time spent in the expression object constructors. For longer vectors (eg., length 100) the benchmark results were 95-99.5% the speed of hand coded C.
Figure 6 compares the expression template technique to a conventional vector class which evaluates expressions using temporaries. For short vectors (up to a length of 20 or so), the overhead of setting up temporary vectors caused the conventional vector class to have very poor performance, and the expression template technique was 8-12 times faster. For long vectors, the performance of expression templates settles out to twice that of the conventional vector class.
The technique of expression templates is a powerful and
convenient alternative to C style callback functions. It
allows logical and algebraic expressions to be passed to
functions as arguments, and inlined directly into the
function body. Expression templates also solve the problem
of evaluating vector and matrix expressions in a single pass
without temporaries.

A group of volunteers model donated offerings before the start of the Great South Side Sale, which took place last Saturday and raised more than $19,000 to benefit programming for local schoolchildren.
Excitement for Lehigh's Great South Side Sale started building early this year, as bargain-hunters began lining up by 6 a.m. Saturday, June 7th to be among the first into the tent opposite St. John's Windish Lutheran Church on Fourth Street.
By the time the sale officially began at 10 a.m., the lines snaked around the block. And by the time it closed six hours later, more than $19,000 was raised to benefit after school homework clubs for local schoolchildren.
"It was an amazing day," said Kim Carrell-Smith, professor of practice in Lehigh's history department. "We beat our old record of $16,500 by at least $3,000, and we're still counting since we have a few items to sell separately, like art work and a 1930s antique percolator."
The dollar figure is "by far the most we've ever raised ever!" says Carolina Hernendez, director of Lehigh's Community Service Office (CSO), who calculates that 146 volunteers contributed a total of 1,350 hours toward the effort. "We are so grateful for the Lehigh family and the community volunteers that helped us make this all possible."
Carrell-Smith and co-organizer Hernendez attribute the success of this year's sale to both exceptional merchandise donated by the Lehigh community and extraordinary support by many students, staff and faculty. Hernandez was able to "whip up a volunteer pool that was larger than ever before, thanks to so much help from the Student Affairs stem," Carrell-Smith said.
Others on her list of "Great South Side Sale Heroes" include Professor John Smith, "who was wheeling and dealing in the furniture area with his broken elbow in a sling," and "our best volunteer and sale supporter," Executive Director of Student Auxiliary Services David Joseph.
Several other staff and faculty and their spouses and students helped organize and tag merchandise during the previous month and helped during the sale, she said. They included Barb Wurth, Marianne Napravnik, Becky Eshelman and Prof. Nikki Tannenbaum. "Nikki earned the title 'Queen of Linens,' complete with a tiara on her baseball cap all day at the sale," Carrell-Smith said. "Volunteers spent as long as 12 hours working that day, through four shifts, and so many folks pitched in. We were particularly touched by the crew of seven from El Shaddai Church who came at the end of the sale to help us clean up and pack the leftovers, and the members of the football team, who came to help us break down tables and load the Goodwill truck that took away the leftovers. There was so much to be done, and only a handful of daylong volunteers still there at the end. We truly could not have done it without those two lifesaver crews." Community effort
To underscore the importance of the sale to the community, this year's event was officially opened by Lehigh President Alice P. Gast and Bethlehem's new mayor, Bob Donchez.
"Everyone commented on the generosity of Lehigh students, and the volunteers who put all of it together," said Carrell-Smith. "They could not believe how big the sale was, and how many people were lined up for so long, in anticipation."
Gast and Donchez were joined by representatives of several civic organizations, local schools, governmental officials and supporting business leaders.
Adds Carrell-Smith: "Many of the local dignitaries all privately said thank you, too, for the collaborations they have with both the university and the city. There were many smiles and handshakes all around."
The Move-Out program started at Lehigh 16 years ago when Professors Carrell-Smith and John Smith noticed the vast number of usable items being discarded by students who were leaving campus for the summer. The couple devised the plan to sort, price and sell the items at a one-day sale and the results exceeded their expectations. That initial drive netted $500 for the South Bethlehem Neighborhood Center. In 2001, Hernandez made the project one of her office's biggest events of the year and helped direct more volunteers to the cause.

Mourners have continued flocking to Papua's Regional Representative Council building on Monday to attend the funeral of separatist leader Kelly Kwalik, who was shot by police last week.
Kwalik will be be buried on Monday afternoon in Timika, Papua.
Hundreds of people were awaiting the Catholic funeral mass outside the building. The mass would be led by Bishop John Philips Saklil.
Kwalik's coffin was covered by the Morning Star flag. Behind the coffin was a banner stating: "USA, the Netherlands and the United Nations are coming soon to settle Papua's political status so we can make our own decisions."
Kwalik was a leader for separatist Free Papua Movement. He was shot by the police last week in a raid in Timika. Police said Kwalik was armed so they had to shoot his leg. He died later in hospital.
A Papuan lawmaker, Karel Gwijangge, said that Kwalik's family requested police's permission to erect the Morning Star Flag, the symbol of the Free Papua Movement, to honor him. The request was turned down.
Papua Police Chief Insp. Gen. Bekto Suprapto said the police strictly forbade Kwalik's supporters from erecting the flag, which is banned in the province, to keep the security situation stable at the funeral.
