(USA TODAY) -- The collapse of the Interstate-5 bridge over the Skagit River in Washington State was triggered by a truck with a excessively tall load hitting a steel girder, sending two vehicles into the icy water 50-feet below, Washington State Patrol Chief John Batiste said Friday.
Three people were hospitalized with non-life threatening injuries Thursday evening, but there were no fatalities.
Batiste said the truck, which was carrying drilling rig equipment, struck a bridge support girder, setting off a chain reaction. The vertical clearance from the roadway to the beam is 14.6 feet.
"For reasons unknown at this point in time, the semi struck the overhead of the bridge causing the collapse," Batiste said.
The truck made it off the bridge and the driver remained at the scene and cooperated with investigators.
The 1,111-foot steel-and-concrete bridge, built in 1955, is listed by the National Bridge Inventory as "fracture critical," which means that the entire structure can be brought down if even one major part fails, The Seattle Times reported.
Bridges that have redundant features are designed to remain intact if one a single section is damaged.
Dan Sligh, 47, and his wife Sally were off on a Memorial Day camping trip in their pickup truck when the bridge stretching out ahead suddenly disappeared in a "big puff of dust."
"I hit the brakes and we went off," Sligh told reporters from a hospital, adding he "saw the water approaching ... you hold on as tight as you can."
Sligh said he dislocated his shoulder but managed to climb out of the vehicle. His wife was knocked unconscious, and he kept her head above water until rescuers arrived more than an hour later.
Emergency teams also rescued one man sitting on top of his car, prompting bystanders to applaud when he reached dry land.
Jeremiah Thomas, a volunteer firefighter, said he was driving nearby when he glimpsed something out of the corner of his eye and turned to look.
"The bridge just went down, it crashed through the water," he said. "It was really surreal."
State officials said it could be weeks before the bridge, which carries 70,000 cars a day, can be reopened.
That will be a headache for local and long-dsitance travelrs, as I-5 is the main artery between Seattle, 60 miles south, and Canada.
Batiste urged drivers to avoid the area if possible, especially over the Memorial Day weekend.
"We Washingtonians are going to have to do what we do best, which is to hold together, to show strength of character and a good deal of patience," Gov. Jay Inslee said in a late-night news conference at the scene.
The bridge, which was classified by the NBI as "functionally obsolete," was inspected twice last year and repaired, according to the state Transportation Secretary Lynn Peterson.
The 58-year-old bridge has a sufficiency rating of 57.4 out of 100, according to federal records. That is well below the statewide average rating of 80, according to an Associated Press analysis of federal data, but 759 bridges in the state have a lower sufficiency score.
According to a 2012 Skagit County Public Works Department report, 42 of the county's 108 bridges are 50 years or older. The document says eight of the bridges are more than 70 years old and two are over 80.
Washington state was given a C in the American Society of Civil Engineers' 2013 infrastructure report card and a C- when it came to the state's bridges. The group said more than a quarter of Washington's 7,840 bridges are considered structurally deficient or functionally obsolete.
The National Transportation Safety Board announced it is launching an investigation into the collapse.

Team USA plays first World Cup match Monday; Coach Jurgen Klinsmann not worried about the weather
USA vs. Ghana on ESPN at 3:30 p.m. MT.
NATAL, Brazil - Coach Jurgen Klinsmann says he's not worried about the weather for Team USA's first match of the World Cup. Beating Ghana may be another story.
-- History with Ghana
Ghana beat the Americans by identical 2-1 scores in the final group-stage game at Germany in 2006 and in the second round at South Africa four years ago. The U.S., appearing at its seventh straight World Cup and 10th overall, has never lost to a team three straight times in the tournament.
"It's going to be like they're coming for revenge," said Ghana captain Asamoah Gyan, whose overtime goal was the difference in the 2010 match.
-- Weather
A two-day downpour has flooded some streets in this northeastern Brazilian beach town. While the skies started to clear a bit Sunday, the forecast was unsettled for Monday night's game, when the Americans try to avenge losses to Ghana that knocked them out of the past two World Cups.
Klinsmann sounded just like the U.S. Postal Service.
"It's raining. If it's snowing. If it's - what else? - thunder or lightning ... field wet, field dry, heat, humidity, whatever," he said Sunday. "We're not worried about that stuff at all."
A total of 3.11 inches of rain fell Friday and 2.95 more Saturday, according to AccuWeather's Anthony Sagliani, and by late Saturday night cars had to navigate at least 18 inches of standing water. Natal's City Hall declared a flood alert and evacuated dozens of residents as a precaution in the Mae Luiza neighborhood in the city's west.
Still, the field appeared firm during workouts Sunday at the new Arena das Dunas, whose wavy, asymmetrical exterior was designed to resemble the nearby sand dunes of a city nearly as close to west Africa (1,800 miles) as to the American base camp in Sao Paulo (1,400 miles).
The forecast calls for a temperature of about 80 degrees (27 Celsius), high humidity - Natal is 400 miles south of the equator - and a slight chance of showers.
"The weather is what it is, and as players that's not something we can control," midfielder Michael Bradley said. "You get to this point, you're not worried about little details, about whether the wind is blowing, whether the sun is out."
-- Fans turn out by the thousands
Thousands of U.S. fans are expected. The American Outlaws supporters group chartered two Boeing 767s from Houston that brought 530 fans to Brazil, and the U.S. Soccer Federation said it sold its official allotment of about 2,000 tickets.
"This is just an awesome moment, because that's the biggest stage you can have, where you kind of want to show that you improved, and nothing better than against the team that beat you the last two World Cups," Klinsmann said. "So this, as we mentioned before, is like start the whole World Cup with a final."Ghana lost a shootout to Uruguay in the 2010 quarterfinals. The Black Stars are the youngest of the 32 World Cup teams with an average age of 25 years, 6 months, according to FIFA, while the U.S. is the 12th-oldest at 27 years, 10 months.
"Now people back home believe we can do more, which puts pressure on the players," Gyan said.
-- Key players
Barring late injuries, Tim Howard will be in goal, and Fabian Johnson figures to start at right back, Geoff Cameron and Matt Besler in central defense and DaMarcus Beasley at left back. Kyle Beckerman, Jermaine Jones and Bradley anchor the midfield, and Clint Dempsey and Jozy Altidore will be up front. The fourth midfielder likely will come from among Alejandro Bedoya, Graham Zusi and Brad Davis. Beasley would become the first American to play in four World Cups.
The Americans will wear their red white and blue road uniforms. While confident, Ghana coach James Appiah sounded wary.
"America years back I believe was more interested in baseball," he said. "They are a big football country now."
-- The odds based on results of opening match
Teams that won their openers have advanced 85 percent of the time since the 32-nation format began in 1998. Just 9 percent of nations starting with a loss advanced, and 58 percent of those beginning with draws reached the knockout rounds.
The U.S. has never advanced after starting with a loss, and it is grouped with the 37th-ranked Black Stars along with No. 2 Germany and No. 4 Portugal.

The Urban Suburban Part 5 - 1947 Chevrolet Delivery PanelWritten by on September 24, 2003 Contributors: Scott Doe In Living Color
Bodywork is very time consuming, so much so that it sometimes seems like you'll never get to the actual paint application. Given the extensive body modifications performed on RB's Urban Suburban project truck, there truly was a great passage of time between when the original tan paint was removed and the wild House of Kolor Shimrin Tangelo Pearl and Shimrin Majik Blue Pearl hues were applied.
A beautiful paint job is only as good as the underlying prep work, so many, many hours of block-sanding and guidecoating were logged by the crew at Extreme Metal & Paint in Anacortes, Washington. Their efforts were in addition to all the time spent getting the body as straight as possible at Kimbridge Enterprises in Clearview, Washington.
Once Chris Odom was satisfied with the prep work, he sealed everything by applying House of Kolor white basecoat (BC 26) over the pale green House of Kolor primer. House of Kolor reducer (RU 311) was used with the color coats.
The Urban Suburban was completely blown apart for painting so that all the fender edges, doorjambs, firewall, dashboard, and inner fender panels could be thoroughly covered. It takes an experienced painter like Chris Odom to keep the colors consistent when parts are painted separately. Chris keeps track of how many coats have been applied. Slightly different shades on the fenders, doors, and main body are a sure sign of an inexperienced painter. Paint application has to be uniform throughout the vehicle for a great finish.
Orange is the predominant color, so the House of Kolor Shimrin Tangelo Pearl (PBC 32) was applied first to the fenders and then the main body. The color wasn't applied to the roof, roof posts, or the center of the hood since those areas were to be painted Majik Blue Pearl. The Tangelo was applied high enough that there wouldn't be any thin areas where the two colors meet.
Chris applied four coats of Tangelo Pearl and let it dry overnight. The paint was wet-sanded to make sure everything was smooth and dirt-free before adding four more coats. Wet-sanding between the two color applications also helps avoid excessive solvent buildup. After the last coat of Tangelo was applied, a quick coat of SG 100 Base Clear was shot to seal the color.
Airbrush artist extraordinaire and graphics expert Mike Lavallee was called upon to help with the rip flames (or tear graphics, if you prefer). An experienced artist like Mike can do the job quickly, but this style of graphics lends itself to the amateur painter.
Since the look is purposely ragged, no two areas have to match. That type of inconsistency is perfect for an inexperienced painter. How can someone criticize the design as being wrong when there aren't any specific parameters? Even the brushed-on highlights were done in a shaky style.
Mike and Chris used the original Chris Ito illustration as an approximate guide for the placement of the rip flames. Lots of 2-inch masking tape was used to modify the design until they felt it was ready for paint.
An upper boundary line was established all the way around the general beltline area with blue 3M Fine Line tape. Then three strips of 2-inch masking tape were slightly overlapped as they were applied. The rips will come out of this 5- to 6-inch band of masking tape.
A pen or pencil can be used to approximate where the rips should be. The shapes are truly ripped, not cut. A knife should not be used. Chris and Mike used their fingernails to start an area then slowly ripped the tape with random, jagged edges. They used additional pieces of ripped tape to alter edges as necessary or to fill in areas where too much tape had been removed. If you seem to be making an area progressively worse, you can remove the tape and try again.
Even though the design was supposed to be ragged, the edges were checked before painting. You want ragged edges, but not runs or bleed-through areas. The areas that are covered with tape will be orange and the open areas will be blue. The entire area below the design band was masked off. The areas of orange that were to be painted blue were carefully scuffed and cleaned. The orange paint was fresh so not too much prep work was required. Cleanliness is the main thing.
House of Kolor Shimrin Majik Blue Pearl (PBC 37) was applied in the same manner as the Tangelo Pearl. When the blue paint was dry, Mike Lavalle used an airbrush to apply some darker blue highlights to the rips. House of Kolor Cobalt Blue Candy (KK 05) was used to enhance the glow of the blue where it meets the orange. The Cobalt Blue was allowed to dry for 2 hours before Mike applied hand-painted borders to the graphics.
Then the graphics were unmasked. Care should be exercised any time masking tape is removed so as not to lift an edge. Generally, it works best to pull the tape back over itself or away from itself at a 45- to 90-degree angle. Since these graphics are ripped, it wasn't imperative that the tape be removed perfectly. Any loose or rough edges were lightly brushed away by hand.
Instead of precision pinstriping, like one would find around traditional flames, a lettering quill was used to highlight the borders. Mike used shades of orange ranging from a very light, almost cream, to a dark orange. The paint was applied predominantly to the Tangelo Pearl part of the main paint. In some places, Mike overlapped light and dark shades of orange.
Like so much of custom painting, the brushed-on highlights were placed where the artist thought they best belonged. That is one of those things that can't be described very well but is a matter of experience and artistic ability. Since the graphics appear on the firewall and inside the doorjambs, highlighting was also done in those areas.
After the highlights dried, the entire truck was clearcoated inside and out. The clear was House of Kolor UFC 35 with KU 150 hardener. The clear was allowed to dry for 2 days. Then all the graphic areas were wet-sanded until they were smooth. The rest of the truck was wet-sanded, too. When Chris was satisfied with the smoothness, he applied another round of clear.
This time, the clear was allowed to cure for a week. Then it was wet-sanded again, first with 1,000-grit paper and then with 1,500-grit. The final step was to buff the paint to perfection. Chris estimated 400 hours were spent prepping and painting the Urban Suburban.
The results are stunning. This is one truck that won't slip by unnoticed. An engine hoist and a lot of strong backs were recruited to lift the freshly painted body onto the completed chassis. The body and chassis were rolled into a trailer and hauled back to Kimbridge Enterprises for final assembly. The doors, hood, rear hatch, and fenders were wrapped in moving pads and transported separately.
To lessen the chances of scratching or chipping something, the front clip, doors, and fenders will be safely stored while the interior is trimmed and the truck is wired and plumbed. With the doors off and the engine fully exposed, it's much easier to perform the myriad big and little tasks needed to complete the Urban Suburban.

We left the Urban Suburban last time at Extreme Metal & Paint in Anacortes, WA, where the final guidecoating and blocking were being done prior to painting. The Urban Suburban represents a lot of square inches to perfect. Chris Odom, owner of Extreme Metal & Paint, does plenty of grunt work along with the custom painting. Here he is giving the Suburban one last wet-sanding before applying the basecoats.Chris dried the parts and wiped them down with a fresh tack rag before applying paint. Notice the handy rolling rack that can hold all the fenders and inner panels at the same time. House of Kolor white basecoat (BC 26) was applied over the primed fenders. The white basecoat helps the wild orange and blue topcoats really come alive.House of Kolor products were used exclusively on the Urban Suburban. The company seems to have the knack for developing super brilliant colors. Their Shimrin Pearl paints were chosen for this project. Following the manufacturer's recommended mixing ratios and thoroughly straining every ounce of paint is important in order to obtain the best results.Four initial coats of House of Kolor Tangelo Pearl were applied and allowed to dry. Then the parts were wet-sanded before four more coats of Tangelo were applied. By painting the various parts separately it was possible to obtain the maximum coverage. Items like the inner fender panels are as nicely finished as the outer panels.The roof and center of the hood didn't receive any orange paint because they will later be painted blue. Custom paint products aren't cheap so there is no sense wasting them. The band of masking tape is placed where the rip flames graphics will go.Blue fine line tape was used to establish the top edge of the graphics. A few light pencil reference marks can also be used to measure down from a fixed point, such as the windowsills, on each side. Starting at the blue tape, three strips of 2-inch regular masking tape were applied. The strips were slightly overlapped. The rip flames will be designed within the boundaries of the tape.A marking pen can be used to rough out the rip lines if desired. If you want a reasonable similarity between sides, marking will help. Otherwise, the rips can be totally random.An alternative to pulling the tape out of all three strips is to make the top edge first then rip individual sections and place them underneath the upper border. Don't be afraid to use a lot of tape, trying different techniques until you get what you want.This style of graphics involves a lot of moving shapes and altering their size. The rip sections were loosely placed until Mike and Chris were satisfied with their final location. Even though the general design appears random, Mike put a lot of thought into the length, slant, and thickness of each rip.
House of Kolor Majik Blue Pearl was applied to the upper part of the truck using the same number of coats as the lower Tangelo Pearl.Before the tape was removed, Mike Lavalle applied some House of Kolor Cobalt Blue Candy highlights to the areas of the Majik Blue around the graphics. He used a small airbrush to create shadows and highlights.Reasonable care should be exercised when removing the masking tape from around the graphics. With this type of ragged edge graphics precision isn't as important as with a sharp-edged design.Mike applied several shades of orange paint to the edges of the rips. He used a small lettering quill and didn't try to make the lines uniform. The ragged outlining matches the ripped look of the graphics. The rips extended into the doorjambs and across the firewall.The entire truck was clearcoated and wet-sanded twice, including the dashboard, which was painted the same blue as the roof. The milky residue on this door is the result of wet-sanding the clearcoats using ultra-fine 1,000- and 1,500-grit sand paper.The body was left on the painting cart until it was time to reunite it with the chassis. With everything buffed to a glass-smooth finish, the Urban Suburban was looking great.

MSHA urged to broaden warning device rules
Read more in Coal Tattoo. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The Obama administration should expand its proposed rule to require mine operators to equip mining machines with devices meant to protect workers from being run over or crushed by those machines, the safety director of the United Mine Workers said Thursday.
Dennis O'Dell said the rule to mandate "proximity detection systems" on continuous mining machines is "way overdue" and that the units "should have been in the mines many years ago."
During an MSHA public hearing in Charleston, O'Dell spoke following remarks from coal industry officials who complained the agency is moving far too quickly in writing its rule.
"If operators are really serious about protecting the work force, then the mining community needs to stop making excuses to put this off," O'Dell told a panel of MSHA officials taking public comments on the proposal.
Already, MSHA abandoned plans to require the devices as part of an immediately enforceable "emergency rule," and the agency has proposed an 18-month phase-in period in a draft rule issued in late August.
MSHA says that the devices are already available, and are being used on continuous mining machines in other countries, including South Africa.
The rule under consideration would require mine operators to install electronic motion detectors that would shut off remote-controlled mining machines when they get within 3 feet of miners.
O'Dell said MSHA also should require the devices on other underground equipment, such as shuttle cars and coal loaders. And he said the UMW wants MSHA to also expand the requirement to surface-mining equipment.
Chris Hamilton, vice president of the West Virginia Coal Association, said the U.S. Mine Safety and Health Administration is moving too quickly.
Hamilton said mine operators and equipment makers need more time to act.
"It would appear that the timeline proposed is not sufficient," Hamilton said.
Brian Thompson, an official from Joy Manufacturing, said his company would have to retrofit 64 continuous mining machines a month to meet the deadlines set in the MSHA proposal.
Thompson said Joy doesn't have the facilities or staff for that, but O'Dell suggested the company could provide an "economic stimulus" by hiring more workers to get the job done.
Hamilton said the industry believes MSHA should focus on continuing educational and training programs to teach miners to avoid moving equipment.
Greg Wagner, MSHA's deputy assistant secretary for policy, said the agency moved toward a rule only when it became clear that those other strategies weren't working.
Between 1984 and 2010, 30 miners were killed and 220 were injured when they became crushed, pinned or were struck by underground mining machines, MSHA said in its rule-making proposal.
"There were two fatalities and four injuries in 2010 where a continuous mining machine pinned, crushed, or struck a miner," MSHA said. "In 2011, a continuous mining machine operator was fatally injured. The preliminary report of the accident states the operator was pinned by the machine."

Corrosion Protection of an Oil Platform Using Sacrificial Anodes
Application ID: 13203
Steel structures immersed in seawater can be protected from corrosion through cathodic protection. This protection can be achieved by an impressed external current or by using sacrificial anodes. The use of sacrificial anodes is often preferred due to its simplicity. This example models the primary current distribution of a corrosion protection system of an oil platform using sacrificial aluminium anodes.

First time posting so hopefully I'm in the right area. There's one section of my employer that's been using exchange for several years and the plan is to migrate them to zimbra. Which they howl about(sigh). The current impasse is sending private email to people.
I tested it by sharing a folder with someone here and then having them send a private email to me. When they access the email in outlook they are unable to open it but in zimbra's webmail there is no restriction.
Is it possible to do this in zimbra? And if not are there any plans to implement this?
If this has been answered before I apologize, I did a few searches and couldn't find anything.

Subframe Connector Installment - The Cutting EdgeWritten by on December 1, 2008 Contributors: Courtesy Of Razors Edge Performance Adding Subframe Connectors To Your LX Mopar
Modern technology has really made the new LX-platform cars from Chrysler fun to drive. Chargers, 300s, and Magnums all share this platform, which has proven to be quiet riding and comfortable, while not sacrificing handling and performance. The new Hemi engine has power to spare, and the drivetrain of these new Mopars is very refined when compared to the musclecars we normally feature in Mopar Muscle. Like most new cars, however, the LX Mopars are built as much for their luxury as their handling, so the true performance enthusiast may prefer a slightly stiffer, better handling suspension. Until recently, this meant the somewhat expensive SRT package needed to be ordered from the factory. Now, thanks to Razors Edge Performance, the handling characteristics of any LX Mopar can be improved by adding their subframe connectors and shock tower braces.
It has long been known that a rigid chassis in a car equates to better acceleration, braking, and handling performance. If you want proof, take a look at a purpose-built, full-chassis race car. In addition to the protective rollcage, there are bars and crossbars welded in place specifically to prevent chassis flex. This allows the suspension components like shocks, struts, springs, and sway bars to do their job, keeping the tires firmly planted to the pavement during all phases of driving. While the new LX cars are designed with some semblance of performance in mind, their unitbody construction makes them prone to chassis flex.
Knowing the LX's propensity for performance and its handling limitations, the engineers at Razors Edge Performance decided to do something to greatly improve the way these cars handle. What they came up with is a triangulated subframe kit that connects the front and rear subframes together, and shock tower braces for the front and rear.
In our two part series, we'll install the subframe connectors in this issue, and the shock tower supports in an upcoming issue.
Connecting the subframes together is nothing new in the automotive performance world. We've been stiffening our A-, B-, and E-body Mopars by connecting the front and rear subframes for many years. Though most musclecars were built for acceleration, and tying together the unibody certainly helps with that, a side benefit of adding frame connectors has always been improved handling, and to a lesser extent, improved braking performance. Although the LX unitbody is an engineering masterpiece when compared to the older Mopar unitbody designs, there is still room for improvement. Instead of simply building simple connectors for the front and rear subframes, the folks at Razors Edge went the extra step of designing their connectors to be right and left side specific, with multiple welding points for extra support. Once installed, these connectors tie the front and rear frames together and connect to the factory center chassis bar to support the frame side-to-side as well.
The best thing about this modification is the fact that handling is improved, while ride quality and comfort are not sacrificed as long as the rest of the suspension components are left alone. For the hard-core performance enthusiast, this alteration, along with the shock tower supports we'll install next month, is a great first step to accomplish prior to other modifications. By strengthening the chassis at these points, the frame will serve as a better platform for future improvements such as heavier springs, thicker sway bars, and stickier tires.
Follow along as we show you how these frame connectors can be easily installed in less than a day, and be sure to watch as we further improve the handling of our Dodge Charger by installing front and rear shock tower braces in a future issue.

The subject of our project is a Hemi-powered, Plum Crazy Charger Daytona R/T. We'll add the Razors Edge Chassis Matrix subframe connectors to this car in this issue, then further improve it with front and rear shock tower braces later.Anytime you're welding on a vehicle, especially a highly electronic vehicle like the new Charger, it makes sense to disconnect the battery. This will prevent the welder's high-voltage from entering the car's electrical system through the chassis ground.With the car on a lift or jackstands, the two plastic covers on either side of the undercarriage near the rear of the car can be removed. These will later be modified to clear the subframe connectors and re-installed.The center support bar in the middle of the chassis can now be removed. It will be re-installed later after the connectors are welded in place.The subframe connectors can now be held in place, using the hardware from the center brace and jackstands for support. the areas that will need to be sanded for welding can be marked with a Sharpie.Using a Scotch-Brite pad on a pneumatic grinder, the paint and coating can be removed from the chassis of the car. This will ensure clean metal is exposed for welding.
After everything is cleaned up, hold the frame connector in place once again to ensure there is bare metal showing around the periphery where it will be welded in place.With everything double checked, all of the areas should be cleaned with solvent to remove any oil or dirt. This will ensure a clean, strong weld.With the Matrix frame connectors in place and supported by jackstands, begin by welding at the front and rear, but not at the crossbrace. By alternating sides and welding small areas, you can keep from overheating the floorboards and setting the carpet on fire. We recommend a water bottle to keep the area being welded cool during the process. When welding around the fuel lines, be sure to shield them with a piece of sheet aluminum.After welding the frame connectors in place, the crossbrace can be bolted back in, tying the frames together side-to-side as well as front-to-rear. These are well engineered pieces that triangulate the chassis, giving extra support for improved handling.To prevent corrosion, the subframe connectors and welded areas of the chassis should be painted and/or undercoated after the connectors are welded in place.The black plastic chassis covers can now be reinstalled and modified with a saw or cutoff wheel to clear the new subframe connectors. The car is now ready to come off the lift and hit the road. Though this modification is fairly simple, the results are very noticeable when the car is taken through the corners.

I realize matchup situations will preclude that lineup at times...and that Gibson has great potential and Booker provides solid minutes as well...but perhaps this will be our standard starting five by mid-season. I hate to overhype Niang but it does appear he has some pretty solid inside scoring and rebounding skills...Ejim is a workhorse on the board and Clyburn has shown he has some excellent inside/outside skills. In other words, all three can shoot a bit, rebound a bit, defend fairly well and handle the ball. That makes for a very dangerous front line offensively...though potentially could be less effective defensively. Throw in Babb and Lucious and it makes for a very dynamic starting five.
This still leaves a lot of options off the bench and its pretty easy to "go big" by bringing in Booker and Gibson together....luckily Fred seems to be the master of creating good matchups.
Anyway, just wondered if anyone else thought this lineup might become prevalent as the season goes along...I DO expect Gibson or Booker to start in the middle for the first few games...but I also think things may evolve towards a Clyburn/Niang/Ejim front 3. Thoughts?
Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.
Marcus Aurelius
It's an intriguing lineup, but I don't see it happening that often. That's playing pretty small, and Niang will be young. I expect him to be in the teens as far as minutes go, at most.
That's awful small. I know Fred likes to play some unique lineups but I can't see this lineup being more than a situational thing based on match ups or foul trouble.
no. 2013 though Ejim, Niang, and Gibson should be one of the top front courts in the conference.

Replace Niang with Gibson/Booker and you should be set. I would imagine that Niang would be fighting for Ejim's minutes and Gibson/Booker will share the 40 at the 5.
I think Booker will start. Gibson's defense is lacking and Niang is young and small. we really need to recruit some height. A Juco big is a must.
I think our lineups will be fluid based on match ups, just like last year. Freddie isn't afraid to play a player 30 in one game and 5 in the next if that's what the situation demands.

Pretty much a tossup between Percy and Booker as far as starting goes. It's hard to tell at this point. I do think Booker will start at the beginning of the year at least
we went really small at times last year, i wouldn't be shocked to see it this year as well. I think Booker or Percy will be the starter but Booker has shown a tendency to get in foul trouble, so IMO this front line will be on the floor plenty, and will be our most effective offensive lineup, as it gives us lots of versatility up front.
I don't see Niang starting this year, but will get quite a few minutes. That's not a knock on him because I think he's an incredible talent. A year of strength and conditioning will put him in good shape to start the next three years. I can see him going down as a Cyclone favorite when everything's said and done.
At the end of the day, I think we'll need the size of Gibson or Booker in there at all times. Gibson made a ton of progress in his freshman year and I wouldn't be surprised if he's starting on day one. I imagine his defense will improve significantly and his offensive game was solid for a freshman big.
I see Lucious, Clyburn, Babb, Ejim, Gibson starting... Bubu, McGee, Booker, and Niang all getting quality minutes as well

Thats a pretty solid top nine.
Visit our blog for all things ISU...
Any chance Long, SDW, or Okoro takes a redshirt? I know that would just add to that 2013 class essentially but just a thought
I could see niang coming off the bench but still being the third leading scorer. Fred's lineups will constantly change with the matchups.
gibson will be an all big 12 center by the time he leaves

First off, my apologies particularly to Down the Line's long time readers for the abrupt break in posting recently. I've needed to focus my energies on some personal matters and I'm hoping *everything crossed* that I've turned a real corner. I can't promise I'll be able to post as often as I have in the past but I'll do my best to cover the really important happenings i.e. half-naked, sweaty ballers. You know, the stuff you expect from me.
That being said, I'm always open to having contributors come on board and take a swing at blogging. It'll help keep DtL going, it's quite painless and the glory is unmatched. Right. So if you like to write and you are obsessed with tennis and the boys and girls who play it, write me at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Now onto the "news"...
The boys have gathered in Monaco to officially kick off the 2010 clay season at the first Masters 1000, Monte-Carlo. So who looked their best at the baller party last night?
FL: "What up bro?"
FV: "What are you wearing to the baller party?"
FL: "Not sure. Maybe a suit and a button-down shirt. Easy breezy. You Nando?"
FV: "Whatta stud. Maybe the same thing. I don't know. I've been in my underwear of late so clothing seems silly these days. My bod is paying the bills."
FL: "Keep it clean, Nando. Keep it clean."
FV: "Claro. Shirt and suit it is!"

Running latest ZCS on Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS, for some reason the reading pane view setting does not "stick" for any of our users. Most of them prefer it on the right, but every time they login it's reset to the bottom.
Interestingly enough, we have another server with the same version of Zimbra on Debian 5 and the setting works fine.
Has anyone run into this and knows how to fix it?

The target date for inmates to return to the Beaufort County Jail has been pushed back again, and the delay is costing the county $500,000 according to one commissioner.
The jail has been empty since June 8th when electrical issues with the generator forced a judge to hand down a court order that until repairs were made, the inmates couldn't return.
County officials say they hope to have inmates back in the jail by September 10th, but the costs are piling up.
Crews are making progress on their repairs and installing a new backup generator and a new switchgear.
Between overtime for the workers and the price of additional items, along with the jail housing and transporting inmates from other counties, the bill is adding up.
County Commissioner Hood Richardson says the fund balance will cover the costs, but he still expects this to lead to tax increases for the citizens of Beaufort County next year.
"Taxpayers wouldn't see an increase until a year from now, again because we're working off of our reserves, but those reserves by statute can only go so low before we have to raise taxes," said Richardson.
Sheriff Alan Jordan told us he wishes the money being used to repair the current facility would be going toward construction on a new jail. He says even with the repairs currently being done, he's worried that more problems could continue to persist as long as they're still in what he calls an older, and overcrowded building.

Had no problem entering or hunting BLM on Sat or Sun. except for Snow. In fact, didn't see any Fed . The only State agency I saw were Snow plows!
September 27, 2013
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (Service) works with others to conserve, protect and enhance
fish, wildlife and plants and their habitats for the continuing benefit of the American people. The
Service manages nearly 150 million acres of land and waters in the national wildlife refuge
system, operates 73 national fish hatcheries and is responsible for implementing and enforcing
some of our Nation's most important environmental laws, such as the Endangered Species Act,
Migratory Bird Treaty Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, The Lacey Act, and international
agreements like the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species.
In the event of a lapse in appropriations and pursuant to law, the Service will close most
operations, but certain excepted activities will continue.
• National Wildlife Refuges will be closed to public access. Visitor Centers and other
buildings will be closed.
• All activities will be canceled on federal lands and public buildings until the government
reopens. This includes hunting and fishing activities on public lands.
• No permitting work or consultations will occur with respect to the Endangered Species
Act, Bald and Golden Eagle Protection Act, the Convention on Trade in Endangered
Species, the Lacy Act or the National Environmental Policy Act.
• Employees and others may not volunteer their services on behalf of Service functions or
on federal lands.
Services and Programs that would remain operational
The Service has designated the following exempted categories:
• Programs financed by other than annual appropriations.
• Activities expressly authorized by law.
• Necessary activities to protect life and property.
Federal Aid in Wildlife Restoration Non-lapsing funding sources available
Sport Fish Restoration Non-lapsing funding sources available
Natural Resource Damage Assessment
Non- lapsing funding sources available
Refuge Law Enforcement Emergency and/or excepted activity

I don't want to get too political. Nobody will ever change their mind anyways. However, I see the problem as this.............the extremes at both ends run the show. Same with the media. You have the extreme left and the extreme right. Repub vs Democr.........Lib vs. Cons..........and both sides get their "base" all fired up and hating the other side, and nothing useful ever gets accomplished. The vast majority of this country isn't right wing/left wing dem/repub. I think most people fall in the middle. I have some views that would be considered "liberal" and some "conservative" with the most being in between. If more people governed toward us in the middle and threw the crazies (left or right) out, we would all be better off. and that is all I have to say on this topic.

And the reviews are in:
"Huge front window delivers outstanding vision both horizontally and vertically. The large, soft skirt is super comfortable" -Scuba Lab
See the top 20 most helpful scuba gear reviews
Average Customer Review: based on 29 reviews.Rating: Nice mask!
M-14 - TUSA Visualtor Mask
The M-14 Visualator mask features an over-sized single lens and frame offering a significant increase in vision over previous products. Additionally, the distance between the lens and the eyes has been reduced.
To increase the field of vision in a mask, the lens must be brought closer to the eyes. To achieve this, the M-14's frame was made as thin as possible, and the fitting line was moved slightly to the outside. By moving the fitting line up to the middle of the forehead, the distance between the lens and the eyes is further reduced and a wider field of vision (both above and below as well as left and right) is achieved.
Like all TUSA masks, it incorporates a wide range of features to enhance comfort and provide clarity of vision.
> 2.5 times increase in field of vision
> Larger frame with reduced internal volume
> Five-position strap angle adjustor for micro-adjustment
> Colors: Black (BK), Cobalt Blue (CBL), Flash Yellow (FY), Translucent (T)
> Also available in black silicone (M-14QB): Black/Red (BK/R)
Angle Strap Adjustor
The 5 Angle Strap Adjustor allows for a five position micro-adjustment on both the left and right sides of the mask. This enables vertical (up/down) and horizontal (left/right) pressure on the face to be delicately adjusted for the optimum fit.
Panoramic View
Panoramic View masks feature a variety of designs offering an incredibly wide field-of-view. Several designs incorporate minimum frame volumes, domed side-windows, reduced frame structures as well as three and four window styles for maximum vision.

After the start of a new skin care regimen, many women are disheartened to find that noticeable results are slow to appear. The effects of even the finest quality treatments and moisturizers, like those produced by EmerginC, take some time to restructure, nourish and condition skin tissue. Often, the lower skin tissues levels are rejuvenated and healthy, but trapped beneath layers of old, dead cells. Because of this, exfoliation is the secret to any effective skin care regimen. The EmerginC Exfoliators collection gently removes old skin cells to reveal your new, younger-looking complexion.
The EmerginC Exfoliators line uses a blend of therapeutic active ingredients and natural extracts to loosen old cells and assist with skin's natural regeneration process. Unlike harsh chemical peels, the products in the EmerginC Exfoliators collection provide amazing results without side effects like redness and swelling. The items in the EmerginC Exfoliators range also prepare your skin for the other products produced by EmerginC, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your skin care ritual. Find the ideal product in the exfoliator collection to bring your most beautiful face forward.
With products that create gentle friction and contain healing, safe ingredients, the EmerginC Exfoliators collection gives your skin a makeover. The effective products in this cruelty-free, environmentally-friendly skin care line slough off and dissolve dead, dry skin cells to reveal the fresh, healthy tissue that is hidden beneath their dull surface.
The EmerginC Triple-Threat Peel gives you the results of a luxury, spa exfoliation peel in the comfort of your own home. The revolutionary product uses a blend of natural lactic, citric, malic, glycolyic and taratic fruit acids as its base. Together, these fruit acids offer large doses of vitamin C, which enhances skin renewal without the need for chemical stimulants. In addition to its natural fruit acids, EmerginC Triple-Threat Peel contains a host of supportive, natural ingredients, including green tea and fig extracts. The peel is suited for use once per week and takes just 2 minutes to produce incredible results.
Use the EmerginC Micro Scrub up to three times weekly to loosen and wash away dead, dry skin cells. The scrub's exfoliative actions are due to tiny beads made with apricot seeds, walnut shells and oat kernels that create gentle friction on the surface of your skin. Nourishing beeswax, calendula and almond oil in the scrub replenish moisture, softening your newly revealed skin. In addition, a dose of camphor in the scrub helps soothe irritation and eliminate redness. The scrub is easy to use; simply massage on the skin for 2 minutes and then rinse thoroughly.

Anti-theft protection for agricultural equipment, trucks and trailers
A simple solution for making sure your equipment is secured
With each manufacturer having just one common key that fits the ignition and cab door of all their equipment, theft is fast and easy. This heavy-duty, all-steel skid steer drive control lock provides a simple solution for making sure your equipment is secured. Immobilizes one drive control which renders the machine useless even if the ignition key is available. If one tries to take the machine, it will only drive in circles. When not in use, the U-Bar clips onto the locking plate bracket and stores completely out of the way. Works on all skid steer loaders. Equipment locks secure the drive controls, making the machines inoperable even if the ignition key is available. Use to keep others from "borrowing" your equipment and to keep children from playing on or vandalizing equipment. Drive control lock comes with two unique barrel keys and features a powder-coat paint finish that stands up to the toughest outdoor elements. All mounting hardware included. USA made.

Dynamic binding is implemented as a regular library, dependent
on the delimited continuations library. No changes to the OCaml system
and no code transformations are required; (parts of the) code that do
not use dynamic variables incur no overhead and run at the same speed
as before. Our dynamic variables are mutable; mutations however are
visible only within the scope of the
dlet statement where
they occurred. It is also possible to obtain not only the latest
binding to the dynamic variable, but also any of the shadowed
Because dynamic binding is implemented in terms of delimited continuations, the two features harmoniously interact. We can use dynamic variables in shift-based, cooperative threads, and support partial inheritance of the dynamic environment, with both shared and thread-private (mutable) dynamic variables.

Delimited continuations in OCaml: required dependency
We show a conservative and elementary implementation of resumable exceptions in OCaml: the implementation is a self-contained 100% pure OCaml library; makes no changes to the OCaml system; supports the existing style of defining exceptions; is compatible with the ordinary exceptions; works in byte- or natively-compiled code; uses the most basic facilities of ML and so can easily be translated to SML.
We impose no extra restrictions on the resumable exception
raising and handling forms. Like with ordinary exceptions, resumable
ones may encapsulate values of arbitrary types; the same exception
handler may process exceptions of many types -- and send resumption
replies of many types. The raise form may appear within
the guarded code at many places; different raise forms
may resume with the values of different types. Furthermore, resumable
exceptions are declared just like the ordinary ones,
with the
exception keyword. If
the resumable exception handler never resumes, resumable exceptions
act and feel precisely as the regular ones.

One may think that making captured continuations persistent is
trivial: after all, OCaml already supports marshaling of values
including closures. If one actually tries to marshal a captured
delimited continuation, one quickly discovers that the naive
marshaling fails with the error on attempting to serialize an abstract
data type. One may even discover that the troublesome abstract data
type is
_chan. The captured delimited continuation (a
piece of stack along with administrative data) refers to heap data
structures created by delimcc and other OCaml libraries; some of these
data structures are closures, which contain module's environment and
may refer to standard OCaml functions like
prerr. That
function is a closure over the channel
stderr, which is
non-serializable. This points out the first problem: if we serialize
all the data reachable from the captured continuation, we may end up
marshaling a large part of the heap and the global environment. This
is not only inefficient but also lethal, as we are liable to
encounter channels and other non-serializable data structures.
There is a more serious problem however. If we serialize all data reachable from the captured delimited continuation, we also serialize two pieces of global state used by the delimcc library itself. When the stored continuation is deserialized, a fresh copy of these global data is created, referenced from within the restored continuation. Thus the whole program will have two copies of delimcc global data: one for use in the main program and one for use by the deserialized continuation. Although such an isolation may be desirable in many cases, it is precisely wrong in our case: the captured and the host continuations do not have the common view of the system and cannot work together. It may be instructive to contemplate process checkpointing offered by some operating systems (see also `undump' typically used by Emacs and TeX). When checkpointing a process, we wish to save the continuation of the process only (rather than the continuation of the scheduler that created the process, and the rest of the OS continuation). We also wish to save data associated with the process, for example, the process control block and the description of allocated memory and other resources. Control blocks of all processes are typically linked in; when saving the control block of one process, we definitely do not wish to save everything that is reachable from it. When saving the state of a process in a checkpoint, we do not usually save the state of the file system -- or even of all files used by the process. First of all, that is impractical. Mainly, it is sometimes wrong. For example, a process might write to a log file, e.g., syslog. We specifically do not wish to save the contents of the syslog along with the process image. We want the restored process append to the system log rather than replace it!
Of course resuming a suspended process after modifying its input files may also be wrong. It is a hard question of what should be saved by value and what should be saved by reference only. It is clear however that both mechanisms are needed. The serialization code of the delimcc library does offer both mechanisms. The inspiration comes from the fact that OCaml's own marshaling function, when handling closures, serializes OCaml code by reference. The delimcc library extends this approach to data. The library supports the registration of data (which currently must be closures in the old heap) in a global array. When serializing a continuation, the library traverses it and replaces all references to registered closures with indices in the global array; we then invoke OCaml's own serialization routine to marshal the result. After that, we undo the replacement of closures with indices. Such value mangling is not without precedent: to detect sharing, OCaml's own marshaling routine too mangles the input value. The use of the global array is akin to the implementation of cross-staged persistence in MetaOCaml.
Persistent delimited continuations for CGI programming with nested transactions
The salient application of persistent delimited continuations is the library for writing CGI scripts as if they were interactive console applications using
read and
printf. The above library implements the minimal CGI programming framework with form validation. The library also supports nested transactions. The captured continuations are relatively compact: the essentially empty captured continuation takes 491 bytes when serialized. Serialized continuations of the unoptimized blog application have the typical size of 10K (depending on the size of the posts); bzip can compress them to one third of the original size.
After the preparation step or the alternative preparation step
described below, we enter or
#use, in the toplevel, the
print-toplevel-bindings.ml. We define a few sample
# let x = 1;; # let x = 2;; # let y = 10;;After that, evaluating
# print_bindings Format.std_formatter (get_value_bindings (!Toploop.toplevel_env));;will print all the top-level bindings defined since the start of the toplevel session:
binding: get_value_bindings/79 val get_value_bindings : Env.t -> (Ident.t * Types.value_description) list binding: print_bindings/107 val print_bindings : Format.formatter -> (Ident.t * Types.value_description) list -> unit binding: type_to_str/177 val type_to_str : Types.type_expr -> string binding: print_int_toplevel/179 val print_int_toplevel : Format.formatter -> (Ident.t * Types.value_description) list -> unit binding: x/186 val x : int binding: x/187 val x : int binding: y/188 val y : int DoneFor each binding, its name and type are printed. We see that the type environment keeps track of all the previous definitions of a name. Because
x was defined twice,
there are two entries in the type environment:
x/187. The counters are the timestamp.
We can also print the values associated with the bindings of
one particular type, for example,
# print_int_toplevel Format.std_formatter (get_value_bindings (!Toploop.toplevel_env));;which gives the following output:
binding: x/186 value: 2 binding: x/187 value: 2 binding: y/188 value: 10 DoneIf a variable is defined several times, the top-level value environment keeps the last associated value, however. The function
print_int_toplevel cannot, generally, be polymorphic
-- unless we are willing to assume responsibility that our type
representation string matches the desired type -- or we are willing
to use MetaOCaml.
Preparation step
This step requires the OCaml installation directory with the object files left after the building of the toplevel. First, we need to retrieve
gprint_toplevel.ml [2K]
and adjust the paths in the
#directory directives to point to our OCaml installation directory. We start the OCaml toplevel and execute all

Alternative preparation step
On the discussion thread, Jonathan Roewen suggested an alternative. It requires rebuilding of the toplevel; the OCaml distribution is no longer needed then. We need to skip the expunge step after the toplevel is built: grep for
expunge in the base
Makefile. That step erases the mentioning of many internal components from toplevel's module dictionary. Therefore, these OCaml system modules act as if they are not loaded. We need these module for the present application however.

amb operator, first introduced by John
McCarthy and well described by Dorai Sitaram in the context of Scheme,
takes zero or more expressions (thunks) and nondeterministically
returns the value of one of them. This implies that at least one of
amb's expressions must yield a value, that is, does not
fail. If
amb has no expressions to evaluate or all of
them fail,
amb itself fails. One may think that
amb is easily
implementable by taking a list of thunks and
evaluating the thunks in some order within the
block. The value of the thunk finishing without raising an exception
is returned. However, that simple implementation is wrong. It is not
enough that
amb's chosen expression itself evaluates
successfully. The chosen expression must be such that its value causes
the whole program finish without errors, if at all
possible. The
amb operator must `anticipate' how the
value of the chosen expression will be used in the rest of the
computation. Therefore, amb is called an angelic
nondeterministic choice operator.
Andrej Bauer gave the following example on the discussion thread:
if (amb [(fun _ -> false); (fun _ -> true)]) then 7 else failwith "failure"This program, he explained, should return 7: ``the
inside the conditional should "know" (be told by an angel) that the
right choice is the second element of the list because it leads to 7,
whereas choosing the first one leads to failure.''
Therefore, we need the ability to examine (or speculatively
execute) the rest of the computation. In Scheme,
amb is
implementable in terms of
call/cc, as well explained by
Dorai Sitaram. OCaml has more appropriate delimited control operators,
which implement
amb in two lines of code. We also need a `toplevel
function', to tell us if the overall computation succeeded. One may
think of it as St. Peter at the gate. For now, we take a computation
that raises no exception as successful. In general, even
non-termination within a branch can be dealt with
intelligently (cf. `cooperative' threading which must yield from time to time).
Andrej Bauer's test now looks in full as
let test1 () = let v = if (amb [(fun _ -> false); (fun _ -> true)]) then 7 else failwith "Sinner!" in Printf.printf "the result: %d\n" v;; let test1r = toplevel test1;; (* "the result: 7" *)Speculatively evaluating amb's expressions or the rest of the computation may incur effects, such as mutation or IO. We can deal with them using one of the standard transaction implementation techniques: prohibit effects, log the updates, log the state at the beginning to roll back to, use zipper for functional `mutations'.
Here is a more advanced test, requiring a three-step-ahead clairvoyance
let numbers = List.map (fun n -> (fun () -> n)) [1;2;3;4;5];; let pyth () = let (v1,v2,v3) = let i = amb numbers in let j = amb numbers in let k = amb numbers in if i*i + j*j = k*k then (i,j,k) else failwith "too bad" in Printf.printf "the result: (%d,%d,%d)\n" v1 v2 v3;; let pythr = toplevel pyth;; (* the result: (3,4,5) *)In monadic terms,
amb is equivalent to
MonadPlus. Even though we are interested in the first
result of the entire
MonadPlus computation, along the way
we have to keep track of many possible worlds. That is, we need
something like a
List monad rather than a
Maybe monad
(the latter should not even be regarded as

Commented OCaml implementation
It was posted on the above discussion thread on Sat, 10 Feb 2007 03:15:56 -0800 (PST)
Zipper File system and transactional storage
fun 'a embed () = let exception E of 'a fun project (e: t): 'a option = ...At first sight, that SML feature seems impossible in OCaml (prior to OCaml 3.12). Although we can declare local exceptions in OCaml via local
structures, before OCaml 3.12 we could not use type variables
quantified outside the structure: a structure limits the scope of all
of its type variables. We show that local globally-quantified
exceptions are macro-expressible in all versions of OCaml and
demonstrate two translations. The first one relies on multi-prompt
delimited continuations, whose implementation leads to the second
translation. The latter represents a polymorphic exception mere by a
parameter-less exception and one reference cell.
The caml-list thread referenced below gave a good motivation
for locally polymorphic exceptions: writing an efficient library
fold_file of the following interface:
module type FoldFile = sig val fold_file : in_channel -> (* file *) (in_channel -> 'a) -> (* read_func *) ('a -> 'b -> 'b) -> (* combiner *) 'b -> (* seed *) 'b end;;We can use this general folding over a file to, for example, count the number of lines in a file:
module TestFold(F:FoldFile) = struct let line_count filename = (* string->int *) let f = open_in filename in let counter _ count = count + 1 in F.fold_file f input_line counter 0 let test = line_count "/etc/motd" end;;The following tentative implementation has been outlined on ocaml-list:
module Attempt0 = struct exception Done of 'a let fold_file file read_func elem_func seed = let rec loop prev_val = let input = try read_func file with End_of_file -> raise (Done prev_val) in let combined_val = elem_func input prev_val in loop combined_val in try loop seed with Done x -> x end;;The
loop is properly tail-recursive (NB: the body of a
try block is not in a tail position) and avoids
any administrative data structures. Alas, the typechecker does not
accept the exception declaration, which says that
should carry a value of all types. There is no such value in OCaml,
and if it were, it wouldn't be useful. That was not our intention
anyway: we want the value of
Done to have the same type as
the result of the polymorphic function
fold_file. We should have
declared the exception inside
fold_file. Surprisingly, that can be done:
Delimcc.prompt is precisely this type of `local
exceptions'. We need only a slight and local adjustment to the above
code to make it compile. This is our first translation.
open Delimcc let abort p v = take_subcont p (fun sk () -> v);; module AttemptA : FoldFile = struct let fold_file file read_func elem_func seed = let result = new_prompt () in (* here is our local exn declaration *) let rec loop prev_val = let input = try read_func file with End_of_file -> abort result prev_val in let combined_val = elem_func input prev_val in loop combined_val in push_prompt result (fun () -> loop seed) end;; let module TestA = TestFold(AttemptA) in TestA.test;; (* - : int = 24 *)
The analogy between exceptions and delimited continuations is profound: local exceptions are commonly used to implement multi-prompt delimited continuations in SML. We see the converse is also true. Furthermore, delimited continuations in OCaml are implemented in terms of exceptions. Abort is essentially raise. If we `inline' the gist of the delimited continuation library we arrive at our second translation. The result requires no libraries and works with both byte-code and native compiler.
module AttemptR : FoldFile = struct exception Done let fold_file file read_func elem_func seed = let result = ref None in (* here is our local exn declaration *) let rec loop prev_val = let input = try read_func file with End_of_file -> result := Some prev_val; raise Done in let combined_val = elem_func input prev_val in loop combined_val in try loop seed with Done -> (match !result with Some x -> x | _ -> failwith "impossible!") end;; let module TestR = TestFold(AttemptR) in TestR.test;; (* - : int = 24 *)The code is still properly tail-recursive and deforested. In contrast to other imperative implementations of fold_file, ours is almost pure: the reference cell
result is written to
and immediately after read from only once during the whole folding
-- namely, at the very end. The bulk of the iteration is functional.
A mutable cell is the trick behind typing of
multi-prompt delimited continuations. One may even say that if a type
system supports reference cells, it shall support multi-prompt
delimited continuations -- and vice versa.
Caml-list discussion thread Locally-polymorphic exceptions October 3-4, 2007.
Of special note is the PML implementation posted by Christophe Raffalli.

< http://mlton.org/UniversalType >
We implement the type-directed memoization from the paper in OCaml. Quite a few adjustments had to be made. First of all, OCaml does not have type families, or even type classes. We use type-indexed--value approach pioneered by Zhe Yang. Second, whereas Haskell relied on laziness, we explicitly use reference cells for recording the computed results. Finally, recursive types require an additional level of indirection via the reference cell. The trick is not unlike the eta-expansion that converts the ordinary fixpoint combinator to the applicative one: We have to delay the computation of the fixpoint until we receive the argument for the fixpointed function. Still, the computed fixpoint should be shared among all applications of the memoized function.
Here is a simple example: memoizing functions on boolean lists. A boolean list has a recursive type (recursive sum of product), which can be written as:
BList = 1 + Bool * BListor, with the explicit fixpoint,
blist = mu self.(unit + bool * self)In OCaml, we write it as follows:
module BLST = FIX(struct type 'self t = (unit,bool*'self) either let mdt self = md_sum md_unit (md_prod md_bool self) end) let nil = BLST.Fix (Left ()) let cons h t = BLST.Fix (Right (h,t))The type expression for the type of
(unit,bool*'self) either
matches the mathematical notation. Mainly, the expression
md_sum md_unit (md_prod md_bool self)
that computes the memoizer for the functions on boolean lists
from the memoizers for unit, booleans and memoizer combinators, too,
matches the mathematical notation for the recursive type of
boolean lists. Our memo tables are indeed type-directed.
memo_type_directed.ml [6K]
The complete OCaml code and the tests
val fprint : Format.formatter -> ('a,'b) code -> stringis the core function which takes a code value of any type, and pretty-prints it on the given formatter. The printed result is exactly the same as that by the top-level value printing. The function
fprint returns the representation of the
expression's type, as a string. The latter is arguably a frill, but it
was easy to do, so just as well.
For example,
let pr_type et = Format.printf "\n%s@." et let () = let x = Some ([|(10,true);(11,false)| ]) in pr_type (print .<x>.)prints the following two lines:
Some [|(10, true); (11, false)| ] (int * bool) array optionThe first line is the value, and the latter (printed by
is the type. There was no need to define any custom printer for the
value or its components. A more involved example is given at the end
of the announcement article referenced below.
Informally, an OCaml function of the type
'a-> ...
corresponds to the Haskell function
a -> .... OTH, an
OCaml function of the type
('a,'b) code -> ...
corresponds to Haskell's
Typeable b => b -> .... The latter
enables generic programming, similar to Haskell's
`Scrap Your Boilerplate' (Laemmel and Peyton-Jones).
The version N100 of MetaOCaml has simplified the representation of code values. Types are no longer included. Therefore, the described generic printing no longer works.

The Eagles' current world tour has proved a huge success after raking in more than $145 million in just 12 months.
The "Hotel California" legends hit the road on their History of the Eagles trek last July, performing across North America and Europe.
Their manager, Irving Azoff, has now revealed the shows pulled in massive profits as the band played to more than 1.1 million fans around the globe.
A statement from the music mogul reads, "More than a million worldwide fans attending Eagles concerts the past 12 months is a testament to the band's ongoing legacy, stature and songs, that not only stand the test time, but have become anthems for several generations.
"The band is releasing this touring data information so that those who follow the concert industry have accurate year over year perspective and not arbitrarily bifurcate the highly attended summer concert season as some charts do."
The tour will head back to the U.S. on Aug. 25.

Casey Kasem, the radio personality who taught America to count backward from 40, has died.
The entertainer, who suffered from Parkinson's disease, passed away on Sunday morning at the age of 82.
Confirming the sad news on her Facebook.com page, the broadcaster's daughter Kerri writes, "Early this Father's Day morning, our dad Casey Kasem passed away surrounded by family and friends. Even though we know he is in a better place and no longer suffering, we are heartbroken. Thank you for all your love, support and prayers. The world will miss Casey Kasem, an incredible talent and humanitarian; we will miss our Dad."
Born Kemal Amin Kasem, the Detroit, Michigan native began his radio career in the mid-1950s, when he was drafted into the U.S. Army and sent to serve in the Korean War.
PHOTOS: Casey Kasem through the years | 2014 Notable Deaths
He ended up landing a job on the Armed Forces Radio Korea Network and decided to pursue a career in broadcasting after the war, heading to San Francisco, California, where he honed his skills as a DJ and became known for his rock 'n' roll trivia.
He went on to work at stations across the U.S., before launching his popular weekly chart show, the "American Top 40," in 1970. He hosted the program until 1988, and again from 1998 to 2004, and served as presenter on two spin-off series, the "American Top 20" and the "American Top 10."
"Success doesn't happen in a vacuum. You're only as good as the people you work with and the people you work for. I've been lucky; I've worked for and with the best," Kasem said in the sign-off of his final broadcast.
He moved into voice acting in the 1960s, lending his vocals to Batman's sidekick Robin in the 1968 superhero cartoons, but Kasem was perhaps best known for providing the voice of Shaggy in the "Scooby-Doo" franchise, a job he retained from 1969 until 1995 and once again from 2002 to 2009.
His other TV credits included "Battle of the Planets," "Cliffjumper" and the original "Transformers" cartoons, while he made acting cameos in the original "Hawaii Five-O" police drama, "Saved by the Bell," "Charlie's Angels," "Columbo" and the "Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries" and appeared in independent sci-fi/horror movie "The Incredible 2-Headed Transplant," alongside Bruce Dern. He also made a cameo in 1984's "Ghostbusters."
Kasem was honored for his lengthy career with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame on his 49th birthday in April, 1981 and was inducted into the National Radio Hall of Fame in 1992.
His final years were blighted by ill health following his retirement in 2009, and he became the subject of a bitter family rivalry as his three eldest children, Julie, Mike and Kerri, from his first marriage to Linda Myers, battled with his second wife Jean, the mother of his youngest child Liberty, over his care.
His daughter Kerri Kasem was appointed his conservator in May.

Last year I bought (through Amazon) the Dive Optix glass bifocals that you glued into your mask (so I could read my gauges.) They set up for 2 weeks before use. After 45 min diving in warm Caribbean waters, the lenses started sliding around my mask. Cleaned and re-installed them every day and every day theyd slide around. Do these stick-on lenses actually stay in place? If not, can I return them after my trip?

Is the size of these lenses about like a nickel, or quarter? Is the price quoted for one lens, a set of two or what? Each of my eyes has a different prescription. Thank you.
Do these lenses get cemented in like the old glass ones or are they like a static cling vinyl? What is their diameter, and could I make a bifocal by butting 2 halves together?
These use a static cling to attach to the glass, about the size of a quarter. Do not know if doubling up the lenses would work as that is not how they were designed. As long as the item is not used in the water you have up to 60 days to refund or exchange it.
these bi focal s sound great! i have a prescription mask, how or can i order these to go in the bottom of my mask?
I am in need of some type of lense not really reading just to see in general while snorkeling on Vacation we love doing this but didnt want to have special mask made for we dont get to do as often as we would like ..what do you suggest ? Thanks for your time
Hello Robin, if you are looking for a mask that will take optical lens: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-53/Masks-Masks-w--Optical-Lenses.html. All of the mask on that page will take optical lens. These are not special mask these are standard masks that take optical lens.
Hello: I use a few different masks, so can these lenses be carefully removed from one mask, and put into another, or do I need to buy pairs for all masks? I have 20/15 vision, but at 52 now I use +2.00 reading glasses. I had a lot of problems seeing my gauges when diving last Jan. and Feb. in Asia! Also, Im old-school and still spit in my masks for no fogging. If using these lenses, what do you recommend best to keep ones mask from fogging and maximizing the lenses life? This looks like a great product for many of us! Thank you so much for you reply, LtC Michael J. McManus USN ret.
According to the manufacturer they can be removed and reinstalled in another mask. I personally have never had any luck with that what so ever. I have not changed anything in my use of defog when using these lenses, using everything from spit, kelp leaves or what ever commercial defog is available at my dive site.
I am considering buying the stick on lenses for my mask. What is the difference between w/defog or without please Julie
Are the Dive Optics Stick-On Optic Lenses available in +2.00
Hello Stacy, here is the link to the stick-on lens that you are looking for that come in a 2.00 dioptor: http://www.scuba.com/scuba-gear-54/028512/Trident-Stick-On-Optical-Lens-for-Masks.html.
1. is the size of the Dive Opics the same as SeeDive? trying to find the biggest stick-ons possible, as they all seem to be just too small. 2. which stick-on is the largest...and best?
Hello Robert, there are all designed at the same size. If you are looking to get a bigger lens then you should think about getting optical lens mask. If the lens is ground into the glass you are looking at having the bottom 1/3 of the lens in that diopter.

|Girls dominate Merino, Wray
|Written by Darci Tomky
"This was a great weekend of basketball for the Lady Dragons," said coach Arlan Scholl after two huge wins over Merino and Wray.
"We have been practicing hard and challenged the girls to transfer that hustle and hard work into a game situation. That's exactly what they did."
Great team defense held their opponents to low scores, with the Dragons winning 63-26 at Merino Friday, Jan. 18 and 60-31 at home against Wray on Saturday.
Not only is their defense on target, their shooting is improving, according to Scholl, and they are putting some points on the board.
"When these girls just relax and let the game come to them, they can be a very good basketball team," he said. "We really believe in the word 'team,' and that is what I am seeing as they continue to play great team defense."
After two big wins, the team knows they must stay focused, working hard and not overlooking any opponent.
HHS junior Audi Peña gets up and over her
Holyoke 63, Merino 26
In Merino last Friday evening, the Lady Dragons took off running and never looked back, finishing with a strong 63-26 win.
They grabbed 19 points in the first and 18 in the second, leading 37-12 at halftime. The Dragons didn't put up as many points in the second half, but still outscored Merino 26-14.
Over half of Holyoke's free throws were in the second quarter. They made a total of 10 out of 21 free throws Friday night.
Erin Vieselmeyer landed a double-double, scoring 27 points and bringing down 10 rebounds. She put up eight two pointers, one trey and eight for 12 from the line. The senior had one block and led the team in steals with four.
Junior Maddie King also scored in double digits with 14 points for the Dragons. She finished with one block and five assists.
Holyoke 60, Wray 31
It was all about the three-pointers Saturday afternoon when Holyoke dominated Wray 60-31 in Dragon Gym.
The Lady Dragons put up nine baskets from behind the arc, with six in the first quarter alone. Junior Audi Peña sunk six treys out of an attempted seven, with four of those in the first period.
Holyoke's 21 first-quarter points compared to Wray's 12 helped set the course for the rest of the game, with the Dragons grabbing double digits and outscoring the Eagles in all four quarters.
Erin Vieselmeyer led the Dragons with another double-double, including 20 points and 11 rebounds. She nailed five two-pointers, two treys and four for five from the line.
Peña added 18 points for the Dragons, and King had 12.
King grabbed four blocks, and Chandler Gerk had five steals and nine assists.
Upcoming action
HHS will host Wiggins Friday, Jan. 25 with games beginning at 4 p.m. The following Tuesday, Jan. 29, the C team heads to Haxtun for 5 p.m. games.
The game with Yuma originally scheduled for Tuesday, Jan. 22 has been changed to Tuesday, Feb. 19.
