Fulbright scholar will go from Grape Creek to Kyrgyzstan
Grape Creek scholar is set for Kyrgyzstan
SAN ANGELO, Texas - Austin Cook-Lindsay is proving, as his high school alma mater's motto reads, he's "in no one's shadow."
Cook-Lindsay, a graduate of Grape Creek High School and a Baylor University senior, was recently named a recipient of the Fulbright grant, which will allow him to teach in Kyrgyzstan as part of the scholarship's English Teaching Assistantship Program, or ETA.
Cook-Lindsay and another Baylor student are the university's 23rd and 24th Fulbright recipients since 2001, according to a Baylor news release.
Cook-Lindsay is the son of Marsha Cook and Dael Lindsay of San Angelo.
"I'm getting really excited," said Cook-Lindsay, who in August will depart for Kyrgyzstan, where he will stay for nine months. "I've got my passport ready. I have to have some medical tests done and my visa worked on. I'm going to brush up on my Russian on the weekends. it's kind of rusty right now."
Cook-Lindsay doesn't speak fluent Russian, which is a requirement to participate in the program in Russia, he said.
"There are three big (places) I was looking at, and from there I whittled it down and decided on this one," Cook-Lindsay said of Kyrgyzstan.
Though some specifics of his stay haven't been determined, Cook-Lindsay said he expects to teach English at the high school level and reside either in a dorm or with a family.
"Kyrgyzstan is a place that 95 percent of Americans couldn't even find on a map," he said. "I know where it is, and I know a little about it, but I still don't really know the country. I think it would be good to make friends there, to experience a culture we don't really know and bring that back to the United States."
Marsha Cook said she's excited, proud and a little nervous her son is going to Central Asia.
"But I wouldn't want him to not go," Cook said. "I want him to experience every single country on the planet if he can, which he's trying to do."
At 22, Cook-Lindsay already has traveled extensively. But his interest in the ETA was piqued when a friend became involved, he said.
"He's having a really positive experience," Cook-Lindsay said of his friend, who is in Russia. "I (also) wanted to improve my Russian. As a former member of the USSR, Russian is one languages spoken (in Kyrgyzstan). The Fulbright Program is just a really old, prestigious scholarship that I wanted to get involved with for a year and get some international experience under my belt."
The Fulbright Program is the largest international exchange fellowship program in the U.S., according to Baylor's news release.
Fulbrighters come from diverse ethnic, religious and socioeconomic backgrounds, according to the program's website, but all have strong academic and leadership skills.
"There are about 8,000 applications for about 1,000 Fulbrights, so it's fairly hard to get," Cook-Lindsay said. "Depending on the country, it can be a little easier or harder. Countries in Western Europe usually have a lot more applicants. Usually a poorer country will have fewer applicants so there's a little bit higher chance, but it's still fairly selective."
Cook said she wasn't surprised Cook-Lindsay was selected.
"When he was a freshman in college he received a. very prestigious scholarship that Baylor did," she said. "They only select nine or 10 students a year for that. They follow those students and teach them leadership skills. It's a very service-oriented scholarship.
"And he's been published. He helped one of his professors with part of a chapter on environmental research, so he's done a lot for this. It took him a lot of work to get this scholarship."
Cook-Lindsay has always been a standout student, said Chris duBois, who was his principal for three years at Grape Creek High School.
Cook-Lindsay exhibited "a well-beyond-his-years insight and interest in topics and issues that many high school students don't give a second thought about," duBois said in an email. "He also was one of the most genuinely respectful and reflective young people I can remember throughout my career."
DuBois said he knows Cook-Lindsay to be environmentally conscious, a trait he demonstrated as a student-body representative.
"He worked with our Campus Site-Based Team, Maintenance Department and Food Service to examine and adopt greener practices in purchasing, energy usage and waste disposal," duBois said in the email. "He always represented his concerns in very mature and articulate ways, and earned respect for his diplomacy in addressing his interests."
Consistent with his early interests, Cook-Lindsay plans to pursue a master's degree in international environmental studies in Norway, according to Baylor's news release.
Working with the EPA's International Affairs Branch is one of several career choices he's considering, Cook-Lindsay said.
In the meantime — while Cook-Lindsay is in Kyrgyzstan — Cook said she hopes to communicate with her son at least weekly via telephone or Skype, a software application with text, voice and video capabilities.
"I honestly pray a lot," Cook said of how she copes with her concerns about Cook-Lindsay being away. "I pray that he's protected and that he experiences all the things he needs to experience to become whoever he's supposed to become."

Leather was flying Friday night at the El Paso County Coliseum ... lefts and rights in volume and, while it might not always have been technically perfect, it was never short of heart and effort.
The 72nd annual El Paso Golden Gloves Championships opened Friday, opened with 11 rousing bouts, opened with 22 stories ... one for each of the fighters who stepped through the ropes on this January evening.
There was one for 29-year-old construction worker Josue Flores, who was taking his first step into the glaring spotlight of that squared off jungle they call a boxing ring. There was one for Israel Han, who has grown up in a fighting family, a fighting atmosphere.
And there were all sorts of stories in between.
Each of the 22 young men had his reasons for throwing and eating leather on this night. Flores, though, might have been unique.
He scored a split decision victory over Ivan Marquez at 152 pounds in the Sub-Novice Class. It was a bit wild, a bit rough, but entertaining.
"I'm a construction worker," Flores said with a grin. "I remodel houses, ground to top. I just started boxing and this was my first fight. I have five daughters and I want to train them. But I can't train them if I haven't done it, if I don't know what I'm doing."
Flores has daughters ages 15, 10, 7, 5 and 2.
"I want them to learn," he said. "Once they know what they are doing, once people learn they are fighters, no one will bother them. But I can't teach them if I don't know how. I can't tell them it hurts if I don't know."
And how did he enjoy his first flurry in the ring?
Grinning again, he said, "I enjoyed it ... I enjoyed it. Every single punch."
Some he gave, some he ate. But it was a beginning.
Han, fighting in the Open Class, has been the local runner-up at 165-pounds in 2011 and 2013. Friday night he had his hands full with a game and talented Esteban Almeraz. The winner would advance to Sunday's finals and, of course, all Open Class winners advance to Fort Worth next month for the Texas State Golden Gloves.
Han was the busier fighter in the first round, landing a number of left jabs, a smattering of left hooks and a pair of straight right hands. But Almeraz was much busier in the second round, challenging Han and landing shots of his own. But in the third and final three minute bangfest, Han landed his quick, sneaky right hand and some good lefts. Almeraz fought well, too ... leaving it in the hands of the judges.
Decision? Han.
"I still need a lot of work," Han said, shaking his head. "But on to the next fight. I don't think I did as well as I should have and he (Almeraz) fought well. I landed a lot ... but I got hit a lot, too."
In the night's only other Open Class fight, Abel Mendoza scored an impressive unanimous decision over Gabriel Gutierrez, moving into Sunday's finals at 132-pounds.

"Real Men Wear Purple"
I've heard several women complain that too many men mostly go for 'safe' colours in their choice of clothes. Their wardrobes, so they say, contain too many blacks, greys and browns. And although I can see good reasons for wearing those colours (especially the darker ones do make one look thinner,...
Purple Christmas
Last year I bought a miniature Christmas tree and everything that goes with it: tiny lights, tiny ornaments. It was small, but nice. (I live on only 27 square metres, so have to economise with space.) This year I was too late when I went for a miniature tree, they were all sold out. So I got myse...

Fishin' and whittlin'
Posted By Smockity Frocks On January 3, 2007 @ 11:49 am In Crafts | 4 Comments
This is my 10 year old only son. He caught this fish for our dinner when we were on vacation in October.
He took the second photo of a whistle he whittled. He made one for each of his sisters for Christmas. It was a fun project for him. He worked very hard drilling the holes, whittling the notches, and sanding them. You can see how to make one here [4].

There's no escaping the Locally Laid Egg Co. push for a Super Bowl ad on social media. Now they're taking it to the streets.
There will be a "Get Out the Click" rally from 7-8:30 a.m. Thursday at the Coppertop — First United Methodist Church at Mesaba Avenue and Skyline Parkway.
The goal is to encourage people to click each day to vote for the Wrenshall egg company so it can win the Intuit Small Business Big Game Contest. The top prize is a coveted Super Bowl ad slot.
Drivers will surely notice the rally as there will be a chicken mascot and plenty of signs. The event is a takeoff on "Get Out the Vote" efforts by political candidates on Election Day mornings.
Locally Laid is up against three other new small businesses.
To vote, go to locallylaid.com.

The holidays are officially in full effect, but I'm still feeling a bit unprepared. We were lucky enough to extend our Thanksgiving weekend by an extra day so I'm hoping the additional time will bring on the festive feeling. Because the season shouldn't have to be a rat race.
Monthly Archives: November 2011
Because black is anything but basic.
Cyber Monday sales are officially on. How good has your closet has been this year?!
Yes, it's Black Friday. Yes, crazy sales abound. But this year why not save your pesos for pieces that will hold value worth much more than any 70% off discount will ever save you. Pieces like those sold in the online shop Herriott Grace.
The sweetly stunning kitchen tools and home accessories are each designed and painstakingly made by hand. Each bowl, platter and tray has much heart and beauty as they do utility.
Each one-of-a-kind piece is made at the shop owner's family farm in Canada. Sadly if you really want one of these treasures you have to act fast – they sell out in as little as 12 minutes. But a gift like this come with a story that begets the price tag.
You can learn more about shop owner Nikole Herriott and her dad (the wood worker) in this month's issue of Food & Wine here.
Happy holiday shopping luvies,

Elton Yarbrough, II, 23, was arrested Tuesday and charged with sexual assault.
According to police reports, the woman says Yarbrough attacked her while she was passed out from drinking.
Yarbrough claims the act was consensual.
At the time of the alleged assault, he was out of jail on a $20,000 bond stemming from a 2004 sexual assault charge.
Yarbrough is being held at the Brazos County jail without bond.

All Saints/All Souls Month at Sacred Heart and St. Anthony Parish
Posted By Sports On November 7, 2013 @ 4:49 pm In Church News | Comments Disabled
The All Saints/All Souls banner is now hanging at St. Anthony's Catholic Church in Knoxville to remember those in the parish who have died this past year. An All Saints/Souls Intention book has also been place in back of Sacred Heart Church in Melcher for everyone to list their loved ones who have died. Memorial candles have been placed in the back of the church as well to honor all those who died this past year. All of these people will be remembered during November during Mass.
St. Anthony's would like you to keep the souls of Anne Braida, Mary Libby, Don Nilius, Amelia Zoutte, Rita Lee, and Dorothy Ellis in your prayers along with your personal family and friends who have passed.

|Ultraviolet-B-induced G1 arrest is mediated by downregulation of cyclin-dependent kinase 4 in transformed keratinocytes lacking functional p53.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 11982759 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|In order to identify potential novel targets for ultraviolet-B-induced skin tumorigenesis, we assessed the effect of ultraviolet-B exposure on cell cycle progression of transformed keratinocytes with mutant p53. We show that ultraviolet-B exposure of human epidermoid carcinoma A431 cells results in G1 cell cycle arrest in both asynchronously growing and synchronized cells. A significant increase in G1 cell population was observed following exposure to doses of ultraviolet-B as low as 10 mJ per cm2. When irradiated with ultraviolet-B, cells synchronized in G1 with mimosine did not exit G1. G1 cell cycle arrest was associated with a decrease in the hyperphosphorylated forms of retinoblastoma protein that was detectable within 4 h and gradually disappeared by 12 h. We also observed a decrease in cyclins D1, D2, and D3, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 proteins, and a concomitant decrease in cyclin-dependent kinase 4/cyclin D1 associated kinase activity, whereas ultraviolet-B exposure had no effect on cyclin-dependent kinase 2 and cyclin-dependent kinase 6 levels during this time period. Incubation of cells with proteasome inhibitors MG-115 and MG-132 prevented the decrease in cyclin D1, D2, and D3, and cyclin-dependent kinase 4 protein. Taken together, our results suggest that ultraviolet-B-induced cell cycle arrest in A431 cells is mediated by cyclin-dependent kinase 4 downregulation. This identifies a novel pathway for G1 cell cycle arrest in transformed keratinocytes following ultraviolet-B irradiation.

Allegheny County judges side too often with bar owners, LCB's counsel claims
Allegheny County judges too often side with bars that serve alcohol to underage patrons, stay open after 2 a.m. or attract violence when the Pennsylvania Liquor Control Board cancels their licenses, forming a "regrettable" pattern that endangers communities, the state agency claims.
Together, Common Pleas Judges Paul Lutty Jr. and W. Terrence O'Brien and Senior Judge Timothy O'Reilly sided with bar owners 16 out of 17 times since 2012 when they appealed the board's decision not to renew licenses, LCB and court records show. Statewide, LCB won 41 and lost 43 appeals since 2012.
"This lack of success in Allegheny County has consequences," Faith Diehl, the board's chief legal counsel, wrote on Dec. 20 to more than 30 state legislators, including the chairs of the Senate Law and Justice Committee and the House Liquor Control Committee. "Nonrenewal is often the last line of defense for a community when a licensee has failed to change the (manner) in which it operates.
"As a result, licensees in Allegheny County may engage in activity to the detriment of their local communities, which would place their license in jeopardy, if these licenses were located in other parts of Pennsylvania."
Diehl's letter drew outrage from Common Pleas President Judge Jeffrey A. Manning, who defended his colleagues. He called the accusations "scurrilous, obnoxious and unfounded."
"In 25 years on the bench, I have never heard of a more inappropriate, unethical and unwarranted attack by regulatory counsel upon the judge of any court," Manning wrote on Jan. 21 to LCB Chairman Joseph "Skip" Brion. "Perhaps some introspection would be in order to determine whether your trial counsel is capable of presenting competent, provable cases."
The LCB appealed to Commonwealth Court nine of 16 decisions by Judges Lutty, O'Brien and O'Reilly. Commonwealth Court judges upheld four of those decisions, the LCB withdrew four, and one case is pending, records show. One case the appellate court upheld is on appeal to the state Supreme Court.
Manning, who acknowledged that he did not review details of the cases, said the judges decided on the facts of the cases, not personal beliefs or vendettas against the agency.
O'Brien said he stands by his decisions, but deferred comment to Manning. Lutty and O'Reilly declined to comment. The three judges were assigned to handle liquor license appeals at various times in 2012 and 2013.
Brion said in a statement emailed to the Tribune-Review that the LCB has the responsibility and authority not to renew a liquor license if a bar fails to meet certain requirements or standards.
There are 18,152 active liquor licenses in Pennsylvania, 2,192 of them in Allegheny County.
"(Not renewing a license) is not a decision I or the other board members take lightly," Brion said. "As a lawyer myself, I have immense respect for the court in general, and in particular, President Judge Manning. ... I certainly understand his position, and it was not the intention of the board to insult the Court of Common Pleas of Allegheny County or the judges involved."
Among bars that appealed the LCB's decision not to renew their licenses were Big Pat's in Sharpsburg, Reese's Supper Club in Duquesne, Flamingo Hotel in the Hill District, Kanczes City Saloon in Duquesne and T's Restaurant and Lounge in Swissvale.
The board rejected their renewal applications because police went to each establishment multiple times for staying open after hours, fights, drug use and serving alcohol to minors.
The LCB denied the Shamrock Inn's renewal request in October 2011 because Pittsburgh police were called to the North Side bar three times between June 2009 and November 2012 for violence — an armed robbery, a stabbing and a homicide.
The Shamrock Inn appealed the decision. Lutty reversed it, writing that there was no evidence that the robbery outside the bar was related to the way the bar operated, that police never investigated the stabbing, and that the homicide was part of an argument that had nothing to do with the bar's operation.
The owner took corrective measures to ensure patron safety, adding lighting outside, prohibiting anyone younger than 25 from entering, removing rap music from the jukebox and installing video surveillance cameras, Lutty said.
"While the incident was appalling, I do not find that it was the result of nor related to the manner in which the bar was operated," he wrote.
Manning called a follow-up letter from Diehl to him a "half-baked apology" that was "neither accepted nor acceptable."
"The words and actions demonstrate a hubris and arrogance that is unfathomable," he told the Tribune-Review.
Diehl acknowledged her "inartfully drafted letter" in a separate letter to the local legislative delegation on Feb. 11. She wrote that she hoped to change the way the LCB handles appeals but specified no plan.

The History of Psychology
The Era of Science in Great Britain
Adam Smith (1723-1790) The Wealth of Nations and Theory of Moral Sentiments (McMaster University Economics Archives) – Smith is most famous for his carefully crafted theory of economics in which he viewed the flow of wealth as being a matter governed by the natural success or failure of human enterprise and the psychology of individual progress. This idea significantly influenced the later work of Charles Darwin in his conception of the laws of nature which produce species, intellect, and behavior. It may be argued that Smith's approach to economics creates the hallmark for British and, then, American thought – practicality.
Jeremy Bentham (1748-1832) Introduction to the Principles of Morals and Legislation (McMaster University Economics Archives) – Bentham headed the school of British "Utilitarianism" which guided social thinking about the Industrial Revolution and "pragmatism" which, in the hands of William James, resulted in the American school of psychological Funtionalism.
Thomas Young (1773-1829) represents the advent of modern physical science in England. Principally know as a physicist, Young also proposed a theory of color vision that Helmholtz later developed into the "tri-chromatic" theory of color perception (sometimes called the "Young-Helmholtz" theory). It was proposed that humans see color as mixtures of three primary colors – red, green, and blue. This is the underlying means by which color television works.
Charles Bell (1774-1842) was an expert surgeon and contributor to what has become known as the "neurosciences". His astute observations resulted in, among many other findings, the "Bell-Magendie law" (simultaneously discovered by Francois Magendie)—the demonstration of the motor function of anterior roots and the sensory function of dorsal roots in spinal nerves.
Thomas Malthus' (1766-1834) Principles of Population (McMaster University) was one of the stimuli for Charles Darwin's work. Malthus described the relationship between the growth and diminishing of human populations as related to the production of food. There is an obvious limit to how much food can be available and that limit, consequently, governs the proliferation of people. Thus environmental exigencies control the development of species.
Queen Victoria (1819-1901)
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's (1797-1851) Frankenstein, The New Prometheus (University of Virginia) explores a major question of the time: the moral limits to the advance of science. The underlying clash between the classical and existential edification of human ability and intellect versus the romantic recourse to human feelings and love fills this important book. Mary's husband was the great romantic poet of human progress, Percy Shelley (right). Mary composed her novel when she was eighteen years old.

Charles Dickens (Knowledge Matters) (1812-1870) was one of the most famous of British Novelists. His fiction demonstrates a keen understanding of human psychology, particularly of the details of mental disorder and manipulation. Dickens realistically portrays various sorts of schizophrenia, mental retardation, and anti social personality. He was also a remarkable critic of the human condition.
Robert Owen's Principles of Character (1813-1816) demonstrates the fundamental philosophy that directed this significant social reformer. He organized the community of a large cotton milling complex in Scotland. His concern was establishing an environment in which the whole family of workers was fostered and supported. Plainly, Owens saw education and family support as directly linked to the success of the corporation. This was a novel idea in the "industrial revolution" and was imitated widely. (e.g., Gregg-Graniteville, South Carolina).
Charles Darwin's (1809-1882) Origin of Species, The Descent of Man and The Voyage of the Beagle (Knowledge Matters) and The Expression of Emotion in Man and Animals (Malaspina) are the three monumental theoretical works which changed psychology as well as the Western world of thought even to today. Animals, including people, are the result of their abilities to cope with changing environments; they are "naturally selected" by their abilities to contend with the environment in which they live. Not only our physical structures but our patterns of behavior are produced by the inheritance of characteristics which have succeeded in the survival of our progenitors.
Alfred Russell Wallace (1823-1913) The Introduction of New Species (University of Bergen) (1855) was the co-creator of the theory of "Natural Selection" and selflessly persuaded Darwin to publish his work first.
Herbert Spencer's (1820-1903) Man versus the State (1884, McMaster University) and Laws in General (1864, Marxist Archive) – Spenser became a principal advocate for evolutionary thinking in psychology even though he argued against "natural selection". His work emphasized the evolution of psychological factors through the inheritance of acquired structure and behavior ("evolutionary associationism"), instinct and "teleological progressivism" (i.e., evolution continually works to improve species). His biological speculation was historically less important than his psychological and political ideas.
Francis Galton (1822-1911) Hereditary talent and character, Statistics of mental imagery, and History of twins (York University) – Galton, promoting his conception of Darwin's (his cousin's) work, saw Natural Selection as so profound a force and humanity as so advanced a species that our evolution must be controlled by society. Thus was created the Eugenics Movement in which society was to manipulate who should produce children. Galton's advances in statistics, generated by his psychological interests, resulted in the mathematics of correlation and the proposition of "the regression to the mean": exceptional parents (above or below average) produce children who tend toward the average.
Robert Louis Stevenson's (1850-1894) Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Biblomania) is a remarkable story which depicts the psychological struggle of good versus evil in a man.
The most important musical composer of 19th century Britain was Sir Edward Elgar (1857-1934). Graduates are familiar with one of his most famous marches, "Pomp and Circumstance #1" (he wrote 5 of these). More important, psychologically, is this composer's "Enigma Variations" which is a musical study of the personalities of Elgar's friends and loved ones.
Bertrand Russell (1872-1970) The Theory of Knowledge (Marxist Archive)

Boise, ID (SportsNetwork.com) - Jay Ajayi erupted for 222 yards and three touchdowns to propel the Boise State Broncos to a 34-17 decision over the Nevada Wolf Pack in Mountain West Conference action at Bronco Stadium.
Ajayi carried the ball 24 times for Boise State (5-2, 3-1 MWC) as it picked up its third consecutive victory. Grant Hedrick completed 18-of-21 pass attempts for 150 yards while Matt Miller reeled in five catches for 55 yards. Hedrick also added 115 yards and a pair of touchdowns on the ground after relieving starting quarterback Joe Southwick, who left the game after suffering a broken ankle early in the game.
Cody Fajardo hit on 22-of-29 attempts for 208 passing yards while under center for Nevada (3-4, 2-2). Brandon Wimberly made a game-high 11 catches for 121 yards and Kendall Brock rushed 18 times for 78 yards and a touchdown. The loss was the second straight for the Wolf Pack.
The Wolf Pack received the ball to start the game and put together an impressive opening drive. After driving all the way to the Boise State 6-yard line, the offense stalled and Nevada was forced to settle for a 33-yard field goal by Brent Zuzo.
Neither side managed to produce any more points until Brock scored on a six- yard touchdown run at the 7:40 mark of the second quarter. Boise State finally ended its drought with a quick five-play, 80-yard drive that was concluded by a nine-yard Ajayi touchdown run.
Nevada's offense got into a rhythm when the Wolf Pack took over possession and drove 75 yards on 12 plays to set up Don Jackson for a three-yard touchdown rush. Zuzo's successful extra point conversion gave the visitors a 17-7 lead at the break.
The Broncos charged back after the break. They scored on their opening drive of the second half as Ajayi rushed four yards for a touchdown to conclude an eight play, 66-yard drive. Dan Goodale's extra-point attempt was missed though, which left Nevada ahead, 17-13.
The Wolf Pack could not get anything going on their ensuing drive and punted after moving the ball only 15 yards. Ajayi broke away for a 71-yard touchdown run on the first play of BSU's next drive. Goodale converted his extra point attempt to put the hosts on top, 20-17, with 9:20 remaining in the third quarter.
The Broncos continued their run as Hedrick scored on a 20-yard touchdown scamper with less than a minute left in the third frame. Hedrick was also responsible for the only touchdown of the fourth quarter as he scored on a 14- yard touchdown run with 8:28 left in regulation.
BSU held a 557-373 edge in total yards of offense despite possessing the ball for only 22:37. Nevada moved the chains on 4-of-8 third-down plays in the first half, but went just 1-of-6 on third-down conversions over the final 30 minutes.

In order to reach their large audiences, today's Internet publishers
primarily use content distribution networks (CDNs) to deliver content.
Yet the architectures of the prevalent commercial systems are tightly
bound to centralized control, static deployments, and trusted
infrastructure, thus inherently limiting their scope to ensure cost
This talk describes a number of techniques (and the resulting systems)
that realize highly-scalable cooperative content distribution. I show
how to build a fully self-organizing CDN that efficiently delivers
content using unreliable nodes, describe how to transparently dispatch
clients to nearby servers, and touch on how to securely leverage even
untrusted resources.
These ideas have been implemented, deployed, and tested in production
systems currently serving several terabytes of data to more than a
million people every day. The view of the Internet gained from
deploying these systems answered long-standing questions about network
configuration, while providing important insights that helped evolve
our systems' designs.

Following fast on the heels of last week's analysis of Conservative-Liberal Democrat plans for immigration, today we take a look at their proposals for family law.
1. Comprehensive review of family law: The coalition have promised a 'comprehensive review' of family law. This review will in fact simply continue the review previously announced by Jack Straw back in January 2010, which is looking at ways to avoid confrontational court hearings, encourage the use of mediation to deliver fairer and less acrimonious settlements, and provide greater access rights to non-resident parents and grandparents.
2. Protect children from excessive commercialisation and premature sexualisation: This was something that David Cameron spoke about quite a lot during the election campaign. It will be interesting to see what he comes up with in terms of concrete proposals.
3. End child poverty in the UK by 2020: This commitment is enshrined in the Child Poverty Act 2010, which was enacted by the previous government in March 2010.
4. Reform the administration of tax credits to reduce fraud and overpayments.
5. Reduce the 'couple penalty' in the tax credit system: Quite what the coalition means by the 'couple penalty' is unclear. Conservative Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith has previously given speeches about how it's 'more profitable' for couples with children to live apart, but has offered very little in the way of convincing evidence to back this up.
6. Support the provision of free nursery care for pre-school children by a diverse range of providers with a greater gender balance in the early years workforce. Very little in the way of detail yet about how the coalition will do this.
7. Increase focus on early intervention and outreach to the neediest families. The Conservatives big idea on this is to 'better involve organisations with a track record of supporting families' and incentivise providers by 'paying them for the results they achieve'.
8. Review the present criminal records and vetting and barring regime and 'scale it back to common sense levels'.
9. Encourage shared parenting from early pregnancy and promote 'flexible parental leave'. Currently, employed fathers are entitled to two weeks paid paternity leave and mothers to 52 weeks maternity leave, of which up to 39 weeks are paid. Last September, Labour announced mothers would be able to transfer the final six months of their maternity leave to the father once the mother has returned to work. It would seem the coalition may go one step further and allow parents to share the allocation of maternity and paternity leave between them in whatever way suits them best.
10. Increase funding for relationship support and provide greater encouragement for couples to use existing relationship support. No specifics on how the coalition propose to do this.

Fabulous Adventures In Coding
Eric Lippert is a principal developer on the C# compiler team. Learn more about Eric.
Before I get started today, a couple housekeeping notes. First off, sorry for no blog the last three weeks; I have been crazy busy adding features to the Roslyn C# semantic analyzer. More on that in an upcoming episode. Second, check out the snazzy new Developer Tools blog aggregation page; it's one stop shopping for lots of great information, and it's mostly purple. Vindication!
OK, now that we've got the metablogging out of the way, on to a question I get occasionally:
Is compiling the same C# program twice guaranteed to produce the same binary output?
Well, that was an easy blog to write.
Maybe some more background might be useful.
What's up with that?
Well, a language is fundamentally nothing more than a set, possibly infinite, of the strings (*); a string is a valid program if it is in the set, and invalid if it is not. A compiler is a program that takes a string, determines if it is a valid member of a particular language, and if it is, then produces as its output an equivalent (**) valid string in a different language. For example, the C# compiler takes as its input a string stored in a ".cs" file and produces as its output a program written in the MSIL language. There are of course a whole host of pragmatic details; the C# compiler produces MSIL that has been encoded into a binary "portable executable" format rather than human-readable format. And the C# compiler also takes in as inputs programs written in this binary format in the form of library references. But at a fundamental level, the job that the C# compiler does for you is it takes in C# code, analyzes it for correctness, and produces an equivalent program written in the PE format.
Any given C# program has infinitely many equivalent MSIL programs; as a trivial example, we can insert as many extra nop "no operation" instructions as we like, anywhere we like. As a silly example, we can insert any verifiable code whatsoever in any unreachable code path! And as a more interesting example, there are frequently situations in which the compiler must "make up" unique names for things like anonymous methods, anonymous types, fields of closure classes, and so on. I thought I'd talk a bit about those unique names.
When the compiler needs to generate a unique name for something its basic strategy is to pattern for a name that cannot possibly be a legal name, because it contains characters that MSIL considers legal in identifiers but C# does not. It then inserts into the pattern strings such as the name of the current method, and finally, puts a unique number on the end. I described the exact pattern we use in this StackOverflow answer; note that this is an implementation detail of the compiler that we are considering changing in the future. (People occasionally complain that the names are too long and are eating up space in the metadata tables; we could make them much shorter.) The key point here is that uniqueness is guaranteed by incrementing a counter, which is a pretty easy way to guarantee uniqueness. As a practical matter we are not going to run out of unique identifiers; they only need to be unique within a given assembly, and no assembly has more than two billion compiler-generated identifiers.
This means that the actual content of a compiler-generated identifier is determined by the order in which the compiler gets around to analyzing a particular hunk of code that needs to generate a magical identifier. We make no guarantees that this order is deterministic! Historically it has been mostly deterministic; the C# compiler's analysis engine in the past has been single-threaded, and, if given the same list of files twice, will analyze the files in the same order and then analyze all the types in the program in the same order (***). But note the assumptions here:
First off, we are assuming that we always get the same list of files every time, in the same order. But that's in some cases up to the operating system. When you say "csc *.cs", the order in which the operating system proffers up the list of matching files is an implementation detail of the operating system; the compiler does not sort that list into a canonical order.
Second, we are assuming that the analysis engine of the compiler is single-threaded; there is no requirement that it be single threaded, and in fact we have toyed with making it multi-threaded in the past and likely will again in the future. Analyzing large programs is a great example of an "embarrassingly parallel" problem. Once the large-scale structure of the program -- all the types, methods, fields, and so on -- is known, then every method body can be analyzed in parallel; the contents of one method body never affect the analysis of a different method body. But once you make the compiler multi-threaded, there is no guarantee of any kind that the order is deterministic, and hence no guarantee that two compilations produce the same magic identifiers.
Now, all this is very interesting, which is why I told you all about it. I could have just cut right to the chase, which is to say: the C# compiler by design never produces the same binary twice. The C# compiler embeds a freshly generated GUID in every assembly, every time you run it, thereby ensuring that no two assemblies are ever bit-for-bit identical. To quote from the CLI specification:
The Mvid column shall index a unique GUID [...] that identifies this instance of the module. [...] The Mvid should be newly generated for every module [...] While the [runtime] itself makes no use of the Mvid, other tools (such as debuggers [...]) rely on the fact that the Mvid almost always differs from one module to another.
The Mvid column shall index a unique GUID [...] that identifies this instance of the module. [...] The Mvid should be newly generated for every module [...] While the [runtime] itself makes no use of the Mvid, other tools (such as debuggers [...]) rely on the fact that the Mvid almost always differs from one module to another.
So there you go; the runtime specification requires that every module (an assembly being a collection of one or more modules) have a unique identifier.
Moreover: let's not forget here that it's not the IL that runs; yet another compiler will translate the IL to machine code. The jitter certainly does not guarantee that jit compiling the same code twice produces the same machine code; the jitter can be using all kinds of runtime information to tweak the generated code to optimize it for size, for speed, for debuggability, and so on, at its whim.
Assuming that the compiler produces correct code, why would you care if compiling the same program twice produces exactly the same output or not?
The first customer to ask me whether the C# compiler was deterministic had an interesting scenario. The customer was in an industry where their code was subject to government regulation. The government wanted to obtain the source code and the binary code that was going to be actually burned into a chip from the customer. The regulators were planning on performing a security review of the human-readable source code before allowing devices containing the chip to be approved for use in the state. Of course, the obvious attack by an unscrupulous provider is to make the source code and binary code not match; the source is benign and the binaries are hostile.
The regulator's strategy was going to be to compile the source code and then do a bit-for-bit comparison to the binary code, which of course you know now, will always fail in C#.
What I suggested to them was: since the regulator was going to be doing the compilation anyways for the purposes of comparison, then the regulatory body should only take in the source code in the first place; they can give the binaries back to the company. That way the regulators have a guarantee that the binaries match the source code, because the regulators produced the binaries in the first place.
I believe they ignored my advice and ended up doing a diff and then verifying that the differing bits were only found in the Mvid column mentioned above. Of course I strongly cautioned them that they were taking advantage of an undocumented and completely unsupported compiler feature. We make no guarantee that the compiler's behaviour is repeatable in this way. More generally: the C# compiler was not designed to be a component of a security system, so don't use it as one.
(*) And a string is of course a finite, ordered sequence of characters drawn from some alphabet.
(**) What precisely makes a program in one language "equivalent" to a program in another language is a deep question that we're going to completely ignore.
(***) The details are quite interesting; basically we start by walking each file, one after the other, and build up a tree of "top level" items: namespaces, types, methods, and so on. Once we have that tree, we iterate over it in a tree traversal that effectively does a partial order sort. The goal is to find an ordering, if one exists, that guarantees that the metadata emitting engine never has to emit metadata "out of order"; we prefer base type metadata to be emitted before derived type metadata and require that outer type metadata be emitted before nested type metadata. There are unusual code topologies in which our preferences cannot be met; in those topologies, the emitter can have poor performance. We therefore have a vested interest in ensuring that we find a good ordering to enumerate over all the types of a program.
The thing you refer to as "MSIL" and "IL" is the thing that's *currently* officially "CIL", right?
(If *you* can't keep track of its name it makes me feel less bad that *I* can't :))
I've seen this "not guaranteed to produce the exact same output" have another effect: sometimes, even without making any changes, the ordering of types, methods, properties, interfaces on a class, etc. as enumerated via reflection will be different. I found this out because a code generator I wrote was producing different output every other time I ran it, and thus constantly committing "new" changes to the generated code. I simply changed it to sort everything by name before generating the code and then I was happy (the tool itself was always happy, but I prefer generated code to stay the same if the input is the same :)).
> they only need to be unique within a given assembly, and no assembly has more than two billion compiler-generated identifiers
Challenged accepted!
(Now I'm actually curious if there's a defined compiler error for running out of identifiers!)
Fascinating. Just after reading this post, I read an article about UEFI secure boot: mjg59.dreamwidth.org/12368.html
The describes a situation with some similarities to the one described by your customer, but has an interesting wrinkle that renders your solution untenable: the parties providing and signing the code may be mutually untrusting. In the Linux scenario, Linux distributors need to rely on Microsoft to sign their bootloaders for them to be able to boot on Windows 8 certified machines*, due to UEFI secure boot. But they may be unwilling to put blind faith in Microsoft not to have tampered with the binaries. I don't think it's actually a problem in that case, because I *think* Microsoft doesn't actually need to compile or even see the code - they just provide a key while retaining the ability to revoke it later should it be found to be used by malware - but it's an interesting problem nonetheless: in the absence of a deterministic compiler, how can two mutually distrustful parties come to agreement that a single binary is the result of compiling the same source code?
* - Unless they mess around in the BIOS to disable secure boot (unpleasant for normal users) or register their own personal signing keys (extremely unpleasant for most users).
Nondeterministic builds would be problematic in regulated environments.
I know one company that compiles their products on three separate build machines in parallel and verifies that all the binaries agree (which involves masking out timestamps). Their system has caught problems with leaks in what was supposed to be a hermetic build environment, bugs in the process that fetches code from source control, and a flakey hard drive in one of the build lab machines.
They also routinely pull an old version from source control, build it, and compare to the binaries built in the past. These ongoing audits ensure their processes are working as intended. (It's like routinely restoring a file from a backup, just to make sure your backups are still working.)
If you spend a tremendous effort in a final validation of a particular binary, it's nice to know that you're shipping what you validated and that you can reproduce it if necessary.
The issue of code provenance is an important one in security and, at some point, compiler vendors are going to have to support some method of validating that a particular binary is the result of a particular compiler transforming a particular set of source code. What I expect is needed is to have a secure source control system that can produce an archive of a set of source code with an associated label and sign it to certify that it can guarantee that any pull of that label will always produce that identical archive. Then the compiler needs to be able to sign the executable, baking in its own signature and that of the source code. Of course, the environment in which the secure source code control system and build system run must be able to guarantee that they have not been tampered with. So if you want to securely rely that if a person certified that a certain set of source code was approved then a particular executable is approved, you need to build an entire secure infrastructure for source control and build. Not trivial. Lots of moving parts. But it will probably be required within a few years.
Over the years I have worked with (typically goverment, especialy military) projects that had the "repeatable except for weill defined differences" requirement on compilation/builds. In a few cases this dictated the technologies that could be used [meaning eliminated .NET], which IMHO is quite unfortunate as the project really could have benefited from a managed language platform.
I believe there is real value (in very spcific circumstances) to a robust repeatable build. In such an environment, source code changes that did not impact the semantics would have no impact on the output. Regardless of file processing order, order of "blocks" within a files (think running ReSharper "code cleanup" to re-org to a fixed pattern), addition/deletion/modification of comments...the same outut [except for well defined items such as the MVID] would result.
[followup to previous post].... In certain real-time environments there is another consideration...different memory layouts will have an impact on the cache performace of the cpu/system. For 99.9999% of applications this should not be an issues, but it did burn me about 3 years ago.
It would be nice if the compiler had a "repeatable output" mode, such that the same input to a given version of the compiler with the same options always generated the same output files. If you sort everything the same way and hash the object code for use in a V3 or V5 GUID for the Mvid, it should be easy to accomplish.
Obviously it wouldn't be necessary for the compiler to always run in this mode, particularly if it can go faster by not having deterministic output. However, it would be very nice to be able to verify things like "Executable X' was created from Source Code X". As others have mentioned, this would be quite helpful in certain regulatory environments.
Glad you are back, Eric! I had two theories: you were really busy or on a long vacation :) I follow every question you answer and every comment you make on StackOverflow and this hiatus had been killing me! What you write always makes me see many new angles and ways to look at a problem, and, I believe, has made me evolve as a professional.
Nice article, I always enjoy the ones like this because there is no other place on the web where we can get to know stuff like this about the C# compiler. The title misled me :)
The government request immediately reminded me of the classic Reflections on Trusting Trust by Ken Thompson (cm.bell-labs.com/.../trust.html).
The idea that the C# compiler is trustworthy is itself ludicrous, if you think about it. Microsoft isn't regulated by the regulator. Knowing that the binaries are unchanged is pointless if you don't have the guarantee that the binaries contain the translation you meant in the first place. I see Petr has linked to kt's classic hack on exactly this subject: what if your compiler *is* the security problem?
Less flippantly, what if the C# compiler has a bug that turns otherwise secure code into insecure code? What if the next version fixes it but that binary is rejected as tampered? What you prove by comparing binaries is, no more and no less, that the code doesn't contain *more* insecurities than before, which is something, but still a very weak property. Real security is incredibly expensive in that you have to build the whole toolchain, bottom up, with the level of security you're aiming for, starting with the hardware if you're sufficiently paranoid. And even then the best you can hope for is to have a system that isn't broken by intent, but just by incompetence.
@Jeroen Mostert For JITed languages it gets even worse: No guarantees that the JIT won't introduce some security risks (and considering how complicated those things can get..) and since performance is much more important there than for your usual compiler, the JIT (at least for JVMs) will compile methods in parallel and non deterministic manner (butterfly effect; there are so many little counters that influence compilation behavior and with all those threads running in parallel chances are some timing will change from run to run)
Similar to David's comment, back when I was working with C++, when discussing the same question, I was told that due to different memory levels available on different machine the C++ compiler may do different optimization analysis, and yield different object code from the same source code. Is that also a concern in C#?
And Referring to Jeroen's comment, I recall a story about the AT&T UNIX source which had a backdoor password hard-coded into it. To keep it a secret, a different string was used in the source code, the AT&T C compiler would look for a that string, and then substitute the actual string in it's place.
Would the change of compiler generated identifiers have impact on the name of the backing store for auto-implemented properties? That makes me worry about deserialization of old objects...

U.S. Rep. Charles Boustany, R-Lafayette, applauded the House of Representatives vote Friday in favor of the Offshore Energy and Jobs Act, which proponents say could create massive numbers of short-term and long-term jobs and may bolster a federal revenue stream to Louisiana and other states.
The House vote was 235-186. All Louisiana House members voted in favor. The bill would open new areas to offshore drilling by requiring President Barack Obama to implement a five-year offshore lease plan.
