Project Coin: Inducing contributory heap pollution
By Darcy-Oracle on Jun 09, 2010
US patent law defines various kinds of patent infringement, as do other jurisdictions. (I am not a lawyer! This is not legal advice! Check your local listings! Don't kill kittens! Example being used for analogy purposes only! ) One can infringe on a patent directly, say, by making, using, selling, offering to sell, or importing a patented widget without a suitable license. A computer scientist looking to infringe might (erroneously) believe the conditions for infringement can be circumvented by applying the familiar technique of adding a level of indirection. For example, one indirection would be selling 90% percent of the patented widget, leaving the end-user to complete the final 10% and thereby infringe. Such contributory infringement is also verboten. Likewise, providing step-by-step instructions on how to infringe the patent is outlawed as inducing infringement. Putting both techniques together, inducing contributory infringement is also disallowed.
Starting in JDK 5, a compiler must issue mandatory unchecked warnings at sites of possible heap pollution:
Java Language Specification, Third Edition — §188.8.131.52 Heap Pollution
It is possible that a variable of a parameterized type refers to an object that is not of that parameterized type. This situation is known as heap pollution. This situation can only occur if the program performed some operation that would give rise to an unchecked warning at compile-time.
One case where unchecked warnings occur is a call to a varargs method where the type of the variable argument is not reifiable. That is, where the type information for the parameter is not fully expressible at runtime due to the erasure of generics. Varargs are implemented using arrays and arrays are reified; that is, the component type of an array is stored internally and used when needed for various type checks at runtime. However, the type information stored for an array's component type cannot store the information needed to represent a non-reifiable parameterized type.
The mismatch between reified arrays being used to pass non-reified (and non-reifiable) parameterized types is the basis for the unchecked warnings when such conflicted methods are called. However in JDK 5, only calling one of conflicted methods causes a compile-time warning; declaring such a method doesn't lead to any similar warning. This is analogous to the compiler only warning of direct patent infringement, while ignoring or being oblivious too indirect infringement. While the mere existence of a conflicted varargs method does not cause heap pollution per se, its existence contributes to heap pollution by providing an easy way to cause heap pollution to occur and induces heap pollution by offering the method to be called. By this reasoning, if method calls that cause heap pollution deserve a compiler warning, so do method declarations which induce contributory heap pollution.
Additionally, the warnings issued for some calls to varargs methods involving heap pollution are arguably spurious since nothing bad happens. For example, calling various useful helper varargs methods in the platform trigger unchecked warnings, including:
public static <T> List<T> Arrays.asList(T... a)
public static <T> boolean Collections.addAll(Collection<? super T> c, T... elements)
public static <E extends Enum<E>> EnumSet<E> EnumSet.of(E first, E... rest)
These three methods all iterate over the varargs array pulling out the elements in turn and processing them. If the varargs array is constructed by the compiler using proper type inference, the bodies of the methods won't experience any
ClassCastExceptions due to handling of the array's elements.
Currently, to eliminate the warnings associated with calling these methods, each call site needs a
@SuppressWarnings("unchecked") annotation.
To address these usability issues with varargs, Project Coin accepted simplifying varargs as one if the project's changes. The initial prototype version of this feature pushed by Maurizio, has several parts:
A new mandatory compiler warning is generated on declaration sites of problematic varargs methods that are able to induce contributory heap pollution.
The ability to suppress those mandatory warnings at a declaration site using an
@SuppressWarnings("varargs")annotation. The warnings may also be suppressing using the
-Xlint:-varargsoption to the compiler.
If the
@SuppressWarnings("varargs")annotation is used on a problematic varargs method declaration, the unchecked warnings at call sites of that method are also suppressed.
This prototype will allow experience to be gained with the algorithms to detect and suppress the new mandatory warnings. However, the annotation used to suppress the warnings should be part of the varargs method's contract, denoting that when a compiler-constructed array is passed to the method nothing bad will happen, for a suitable definition of nothing bad. Therefore, an
@Documented annotation type needs to be used for this purpose and
SuppressWarnings is not
@Documented. Additionally, the suppressing annotation for varags should also be
@Inherited so the method implementation restrictions are passed on to subclasses.
Subsequent design discussions about the new annotation type with the properties in question to suppress the varargs warnings as well as criteria for the annotation to be correctly applied can occur on the Project Coin mailing list.

The MediaHarbor - Industry structure
Business & Industry Survey 2011
A total of 800 businesses employing 8,600 people survey of Media Harbour by the Office of Economic Development
Once a year Düsseldorf's Office of Economic Development carries out a survey of the business & industry structure in the Media Harbour to find out how many businesses have set up there, how many have arrived recently and how many new jobs have been newly created.
The results of this year's survey have just been released:
The results in brief:
- With 800 businesses employing about 8,600 people in it, the Harbour is an attractive location
- The number of new arrivals and departures is even
- 76 % of the businesses surveyed have their head office here
- With meanwhile 76 businesses in the restaurant/entertainment sector (representing a share of about 9.5 %) the Media Harbour is a popular leisure quarter
- 23 % of the businesses based there are from the media and communication industry
- The media industry, at about 30 %, provides most of the jobs in the Harbour.
Background and data material
The following streets and roads in and around the Media Harbour were included in the survey: Am Fallhammer, Am Handelshafen, Am Kuhtor, Auf der Lausward, Blasiusstrasse, Bremer Strasse, Brückenstrasse, Cuxhavener Strasse, Erftstrasse, Ernst-Gnoß-Strasse, Franziusstrasse, Fringsstrasse, Gilbachstrasse, Gladbacher Strasse, Hamburger Strasse, Hammer Dorfstrasse, Hammer Strasse, Holzstrasse, Kaistrasse, Kesselstrasse, Neckarstrasse, Neuer Zollhof, Plange Mühle, Plockstrasse, Speditionstrasse, Stadttor, Stromstrasse, Weizenmühlenstrasse, Wesermünder Strasse, Wupperstrasse, Zollhof. Hammer Dorfstrasse and Gladbacher Strasse were not completely included in the survey (Hammer Dorfstrasse as far as the corner with Blasiusstrasse, Gladbacher Strasse as far as the corner with Völklinger Strasse), since because of their length they can be regarded as belonging only partly to the Media/Harbour zone.
Evaluation of the data is based on feedback from 301 businesses. The sole exception is that the business & industry evaluation relates to all 800 businesses based in the area.
Evaluation in detail
The Office of Economic Development counted 800 businesses in the Media Harbour zone and neighbouring areas. If one looks at the beginnings of the media mile and goes back to 1999, one sees that since then the number of businesses has risen nearly six-fold (1999: 139 businesses) in step with the continuous construction of new buildings.
Business & industry structure
The audiovisual media (AV) print media/advertising industry, with a share of 15.4 %, is the sector most strongly represented. If one includes the
information/communications industries too, the share rises to 23.4 %.
The next-strongest business sector is management consultancies & law firms, with 13.6 %. 10.5 % of the businesses operate in the architecture/real estate/construction sector.
Fashion is strongly represented, with 10.9 %. The Media Harbour with its unique ambience and international appeal as a place of outstanding architecture
has attracted a whole host of well-known fashion labels with their head offices or major distribution branches to the Rhine.
View graphic
Health care
More and more health care businesses, for example, dispensing chemists and medical or other practices, are moving in and making an important contribution to local amenities. These sectors now represent a share of 3.6 %.
Restaurants and caterers
With a total of 76 restaurant and catering businesses, or 9.5 %, the harbour is a very popular leisure quarter and meeting place, which fairly pulsates with activity in the area between the Commercial Harbour and Hammer Strasse in the midday hours and evenings.
Head office or branch office
The survey by the Office of Economic Development revealed that the greater part of the businesses based in the harbour, at 76 %, is represented there by a
head office. This strongly suggests that, as already noted in the case of the fashion sector, having an address in Düsseldorf's internationally renowned
media mile is for many businesses a matter of prestige. Not without reason have rents in Helmut Jahn's recently completed high-rise SIGN! building in the
Commercial Harbour now soared to become the highest in Düsseldorf.
View graphic
Business size/jobs in the Media Harbour
According to this year's survey in the Media Harbour the number of people employed has remained unchanged at 8,600. This figure was obtained from responses to the survey and from estimates used as a basis.
More than 31 % of the businesses have 10–49 employees. 30.5 % employ fewer than 5 people, and 23.8 % employ 5–9 people. The business size
structure in the Media Harbour has therefore not changed over the past years – small businesses continue to predominate.

Southern Baptists to meet, minister in Baltimore
BALTIMORE – Prayer and revival will be the focus of the 2014 Southern Baptist Convention (SBC) Annual Meeting which is to be held June 10-11 at the Baltimore Convention Center located in the city's famous 'Inner Harbor.'
SBC President Fred Luter applauded the emphasis of the annual meeting, to be built around the theme Restoration and Revival Through Prayer.
"We have not had a theme that focused on prayer and revival for many years," said Luter, pastor of Franklin Avenue Baptist Church in New Orleans.
"I pray that God will send revival across America and particularly among Southern Baptists."
Psalm 80:18–19 is Luter's selection as the biblical text to support the theme: "Then we will not turn away from You; revive us, and we will call on Your name. Restore us, Yahweh, the God of Hosts; look on us with favor, and we will be saved" (HCSB).
Luter will preach during the June 10 evening session, marking his last presidential address.
No other business will be presented or discussed in the evening session, adhering to last year's annual meeting format, said David Smith, chairman of the SBC Committee on Order of Business and executive director of the Austin Baptist Association in Texas.
"It obviously had such a great response last year that we decided we wanted to do it again," Smith said of the evening session.
"We just think it's going to bring back something that folks go to convention for – to hear the Word, to be inspired and to worship. And we're looking forward to it."
Floyd nominated
Arkansas pastor Ronnie Floyd is expected to be nominated for SBC president at the annual meeting. R. Albert Mohler Jr., president of Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, announced Floyd's nomination Feb. 20.
During the nearly 28 years Floyd has led Cross Church in northwest Arkansas, it has become "one of the most evangelistic, visible and innovative congregations in our convention," Mohler said. The church encompasses campuses in Springdale, Rogers, Fayetteville and Neosho, Mo.
Clint Pressley, senior pastor of Hickory Grove Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., is expected to be nominated for the office of first vice president, and Oklahoma City Pastor Hance Dilbeck is expected to be nominated for second vice president.
Pressley has served as pastor of Hickory Grove since 2009. The church is one of the largest churches in North Carolina with more than 17,000 members. Hickory Grove has five worship services that meet weekly on two campuses and two Hispanic services, in addition to a Christian school with more than 940 students on the main campus.
Dilbeck has been senior pastor of the 4,600-member Quail Springs Baptist Church in Oklahoma City since 2003. Dilbeck has been called the American "Hispanic" pastor by Hispanic church planters. Quail Springs is involved in planting 14 Hispanic churches in North America. Last year, the church set aside $1 million to plant Hispanic churches and contributed more than $3.7 million to the Cooperative Program in support of Southern Baptist missions and ministry in Oklahoma and around the world.
SBC Pastors' Conference
The 2014 Southern Baptist Pastors' Conference will be held June 8-9 at the Baltimore Convention Center. The theme of the conference is Show Us Your Glory. Bruce Frank, pastor of Biltmore Baptist Church in Arden, N.C., is serving as president of the conference.
Conference speakers will include Floyd; Rick Warren, pastor of Saddleback Community Church, Lake Forest, Calif.; Francis Chan, pastor of Cornerstone Church, Simi Valley, Calif.; Johnny Hunt, pastor of First Baptist Church, Woodstock, Ga., and David Platt, pastor of The Church at Brook Hills, Birmingham, Ala., as well as others.
More information about the Pastors' Conference is available at www.sbcpc.net.
Crossover 2014
As in previous years, Southern Baptists will coordinate a variety of events in the city beginning June 7 through Crossover Baltimore.
Bob Mackey, executive director of the Baltimore Baptist Association, said his team is working hard to prepare for the event.
"We visited a lot of different events taking place as a part of Crossover Houston," Mackey said. "It was exciting to see what God can do for a city through service and partnership. I left with a great sense of hope and expectation for what God will do when Crossover comes to our city this year."
The day of evangelism takes place the Saturday before the SBC and invites visiting Southern Baptists to serve alongside Baltimore churches by hosting block parties, evangelism outreaches, health clinics, sports camps and various other outreach events. Mackey and his team already have participants scheduled to serve from more than 12 states, including Georgia, North Carolina, Mississippi, Maryland and Delaware, as well as commitments from many sister associations.
For more information about Crossover Baltimore, visit www.embracebaltimore.com/crossover.
New messenger rules
The SBC Executive Committee is scheduled to consider a proposal June 9 to update the SBC constitution regarding qualifications for churches to send messengers to the annual meeting.
Under the new proposal to be considered, each cooperating church that contributed to convention causes during the preceding fiscal year would automatically qualify for two messengers.
Additional messengers would be recognized from a cooperating church by one of two options, whichever allows the greater number of messengers: (1) One additional messenger for each full percent of the church's undesignated receipts through any combination of gifts through the Cooperative Program, designated gifts through the Executive Committee for convention causes or to any SBC entity; and (2) one additional messenger for each $6,000 the church contributes in the preceding year through the same combination of the Cooperative Program, designated gifts through the Executive Committee for convention causes or to any SBC entity.
Resolutions Committee
Members of the SBC Committee on Resolutions for the annual meeting were named by Luter March 28.
Luter announced the appointment of the committee in keeping with the provision in SBC Bylaw 20 that its members be named 75 days prior to the start of the annual meeting.
David Dykes, pastor of Green Acres Baptist Church in Tyler, Texas, was named committee chairman.
The other members named to the committee were: Jay F. Shell, member of West Baptist Church, Batesville; Whitney Alexander, member of First Baptist Church, Gadsden, Ala.; Matthew Arbo, member of Redeemer Fellowship, Kansas City, Mo.; Greg Belser, pastor, Morrison Heights Baptist Church, Clinton, Miss.; Roger Freeman, pastor, Grace Baptist Church, Nashville; Matthew Hall, member of Clifton Baptist Church, Louisville; Chris Osborne, senior pastor, Central Baptist Church, College Station, Texas; Ramon Osorio, member of First Redeemer Church, Cumming, Ga., and Kevin Smith, assistant professor of Christian preaching at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, Louisville, Ky.

Camps registration opens
Registration is open for preschool childcare, Children's Conferences International, Children in Action Missions Camp and Youth on Mission in conjunction with the annual meeting.
Southern Baptist disaster relief childcare volunteers will care for preschoolers, while Children's Conferences International and Woman's Missionary Union (WMU) will guide the Children in Action Missions Camp and Youth on Mission curricula and activities.
Preschool childcare and activities for children who have completed grades one through six will be housed at the Baltimore Convention Center. Youth who have completed grades seven through 12 will begin their days at the convention center with worship before going into the community for hands-on missions work.
Preregistration is required and will be accepted online at www.sbcannualmeeting.net under the "Children/Youth" tab. All participants should register as soon as possible because space is limited.
Due to space limitations and worker-to-children ratio objectives, on-site registration will not be accepted. For more information about each of the camps or to register, visit www.sbcannualmeeting.net and click on the "Children/Youth" tab.
Preschool childcare for newborns through 5-year-olds will be available during the SBC Pastors' Conference and annual meeting. Parents should pay all related fees when registering to insure their child's participation. The SBC will verify registrations with an emailed confirmation packet, including a parents' handbook.
Children's Conferences International will offer the adventure "Christ Who Strengthens Me" for children ages 4-12 during the Pastors' Conference.
Children in Action Missions Camp, for children who have completed grades one through six by May/June, will be offered June 10-11. The camp theme Gotta Tell It! is designed to challenge children to tell God's story to people who need to hear it.
"Children attending the Children in Action Missions Camp will learn that they can know God and have a relationship with Him," said Cindy Bradley, Michigan WMU executive director and camp coordinator.
"In addition to Bible studies, children will visit with missionaries representing both the International Mission Board and the North American Mission Board," Bradley said. "Children will also participate in worship sessions, games and recreation, crafts and mission projects. These Bible study and missions experiences will show children that they are a part of God's story and have a place in His story."
Youth on Mission, for students who've completed grades seven through 12 by May/June, will be provided June 10-11.
"Youth on Mission will learn that they can know God and have a relationship with Him. They will be encouraged to be bold in telling His story and by serving others. The youth will serve through hands-on missions projects in Baltimore," said Kristy Carr, National WMU ministry consultant and Youth on Mission coordinator. "Each morning mission studies will be presented by both International Mission Board and North American Mission Board missionaries."

(Secondary Metabolites)
Toni M. Kutchan
Norman G. Lewis
products have primary ecological functions.
Plants produce a vast and diverse assortment
of organic compounds, the great majority of which
do not appear to participate directly in growth
and development. These substances, traditionally
referred to as secondary metabolites, often
are differentially distributed among limited taxonomic
groups within the plant kingdom. Their functions,
many of which remain unknown, are being elucidated
with increasing frequency. The primary metabolites,
in contrast, such as phytosterols, acyl lipids,
nucleotides, amino acids, and organic acids, are
found in all plants and perform metabolic roles
that are essential and usually evident.
Although noted
for the complexity of their chemical structures
and biosynthetic pathways, natural products
have been widely perceived as biologically insignificant
and have historically received little attention
from most plant biologists. Organic chemists,
however, have long been interested in these novel
phytochemicals and have investigated their chemical
properties extensively since the 1850s. Studies
of natural products stimulated development of
the separation techniques, spectroscopic approaches
to structure elucidation, and synthetic methodologies
that now constitute the foundation of contemporary
organic chemistry. Interest in natural products
was not purely academic but rather was prompted
by their great utility as dyes, polymers, fibers,
glues, oils, waxes, flavoring agents, perfumes,
and drugs. Recognition of the biological properties
of myriad natural products has fueled the current
focus of this field, namely, the search for new
drugs, antibiotics, insecticides, and herbicides.
Importantly, this growing appreciation of the
highly diverse biological effects produced by
natural products has prompted a reevaluation of
the possible roles these compounds play in plants,
especially in the context of ecological interactions.
As illustrated in this chapter, many of these
compounds now have been shown to have important
adaptive significance in protection against herbivory
and microbial infection, as attractants for pollinators
and seed-dispersing animals, and as allelopathic
agents (allelochemicals that influence competition
among plant species). These ecological functions
affect plant survival profoundly, and we think
it reasonable to adopt the less pejorative term
"plant natural products" to describe secondary
plant metabolites that act primarily on other
boundary between primary and secondary metabolism
is blurred.
Based on their biosynthetic origins, plant natural
products can be divided into three major groups:
the terpenoids, the alkaloids, and the phenylpropanoids
and allied phenolic compounds. All terpenoids,
including both primary metabolites and more than
25,000 secondary compounds, are derived from the
five-carbon precursor isopentenyl diphosphate
(IPP). The 12,000 or so known alkaloids, which
contain one or more nitrogen atoms, are biosynthesized
principally from amino acids. The 8000 or so phenolic
compounds are formed by way of either the shikimic
acid pathway or the malonate/ acetate pathway.
Primary and secondary
metabolites cannot readily be distinguished on
the basis of precursor molecules, chemical structures,
or biosynthetic origins. For example, both primary
and secondary metabolites are found among the
diterpenes (C20) and triterpenes (C30).
In the diterpene series, both kaurenoic acid and
abietic acid are formed by a very similar sequence
of related enzymatic reactions (Fig.
24.1); the former is an essential intermediate
in the synthesis of gibberellins, i.e., growth
hormones found in all plants (see Chapter 17),
whereas the latter is a resin component largely
restricted to members of the Fabaceae and Pinaceae.
Similarly, the essential amino acid proline is
classified as a primary metabolite, whereas the
C6 analog pipecolic acid is considered
an alkaloid and thus a natural product (Fig.
24.1). Even lignin, the essential structural
polymer of wood and second only to cellulose as
the most abundant organic substance in plants,
is considered a natural product rather than a
primary metabolite.
In the absence
of a valid distinction based on either structure
or biochemistry, we return to a functional definition,
with primary products participating in nutrition
and essential metabolic processes inside the plant,
and natural (secondary) products influencing ecological
interactions between the plant and its environment.
In this chapter, we provide an overview of the
biosynthesis of the major classes of plant natural
products, emphasizing the origins of their structural
diversity, as well as their physiological functions,
human uses, and potential biotechnological applications.
Kaurenoic acid and proline are
primary metabolites, whereas the closely related
compounds abietic acid and pipecolic acid are
considered secondary metabolites.

Home / LSA Faculty & Staff / Undergraduate Education / Curriculum Committee / Academic Policies & Guidelines /
First-Year Writing Requirement
Submit all proposals to:
1139 Angell Hall 1003 764-0429
August 2009
The Sweetland Writing Center approves the departmental curricular offerings that satisfy the LSA First‐Year Writing Requirement (FYWR). FYWR courses must be re-approved every five years. Enrollments in all FYWR courses are capped at 18.
Statement of Purpose: The goal of the First‐Year Writing Requirement is to prepare students to write in diverse academic contexts. As a broad preparation for the range of writing tasks students will encounter at the University of Michigan and beyond, FYWR courses emphasize evidenced, academic writing in a variety of genres and rhetorical situations. This course is foundational for students to master the kind of analysis and argumentation found in sophisticated academic writing.
A FYWR course is required of all students in the College of Literature, Science, and the Arts; School of Art and Design; School of Business; School of Kinesiology; School of Music, Theatre, and Dance; Dental Hygiene; and the School of Nursing. A FYWR course also is required of all students transferring into the College of Architecture and Urban Planning and the College of Pharmacy. The College of Engineering offers its own writing program and requirements.
Course Goals
First‐Year Writing Requirement courses assign writing tasks designed to help students learn to:
- Produce complex, analytic, evidence‐based arguments that matter in a range of academic contexts
- Read, summarize, analyze, and synthesize complex texts purposefully in order to generate and support writing
- Practice writing in a variety of genres and demonstrate an awareness of the strategies that writers use in different rhetorical situations
- Develop flexible strategies for organizing, revising, editing, and proofreading writing of varying lengths to improve development of ideas and appropriateness of expression
- Collaborate with peers and the instructor to define revision strategies for particular pieces of writing, to set goals for improving writing, and to devise effective plans for achieving those goals
Writing Instruction
- As a general rule, students in First‐Year Writing Requirement courses should complete a minimum of four major writing assignments, of varying page lengths, with at least 25 pages of polished writing, no less than half of which should have gone through substantial review and revision.
- Students should understand how and when they will receive feedback on their writing (through conferences about papers, peer review workshops, class discussion of common problems, written comments on preliminary drafts, etc.). Individual conferences with students about their writing will help them to understand audience and reader expectations and will enable dialogue about personal writing goals.
- Students should write regularly throughout the semester and revise their work in response to comments from their instructor and peers, and should work intensively on revising each formal assignment.
- Writing assignments should be varied in genre (to advance understanding of audience and purpose), sequential (to facilitate the development of ideas and concepts), dispersed over the course of a semester (to enhance continuity), and revised (to promote reflection and rigor) so that students build their capacity to produce complex, intentional, and sophisticated evidence‐based writing.
Students must receive a C or above to receive credit for the First-Year Writing Requirement. Students who receive a D+, D, or D will earn course credits, but must elect another First-Year Writing Requirement course. For more information about the FYWR, please contact the Sweetland Writing Center at 764‐0429 or email Patrick Manning at email@example.com.

Support Brody's Bakery by buying the yummy desserts offered (because supporting our gluten free bakeries ensures that we continue to have gluten free bakeries) and helping out some of the most misunderstood of man's best friends. All this is made more fun because you can do it while listening to music by The Green Goddammits, Death Valley Wolfriders and The Rumblejetts.
Not that you need more reasons to attend, but here are some more of the things to look forward to:
- Pinups Photo Shoots by Vixen Pinup Photography
- Pinups for Pitbulls Merchandise (with benefits going to support the beautiful bully breeds, of course)
- Raffles
Event Details:
- Location: The Record Bar, 1020 Westport Road Kansas City, MO 64111
- Time: 7:00 PM
- Ages: 21 and up, with valid ID
Saint Pittie's Day promises to be an event not to miss. Really, what could be more fun than Pinups, Pitbulls and gluten free baked goods all in the same place?
Don't live in the Kansas City area, but still want to help? You can order goodies from Brody's Bakery on their website. To find out more about Pinups for Pitbulls and see what you can do, visit their website.

The first thing I did when I bought my G23 was to trade out the serrated trigger for a smooth G22 trigger. It's a lot more comfortable when popping off a bunch of rounds.
You will see the visiual effects of a "C" Glock when you shoot it under low light conditions. It provides a nice show! Congats on the Glock.

Glock on, enjoy the koolaid
When I carry a gun, I don't do so because I am looking for a fight, but because I'm looking to be left alone. The gun at my side means that I cannot be forced, only persuaded. I don't carry it because I'm afraid, but because it enables me to be unafraid.
Congrats on the new GLOCK! Why may I ask the "c" model?

Haunted by the sound of Native American dancers, the Old Spa building has been refurbished and is having another go. Closed for many years and known locally as both haunted and cursed, the one spring inside has been off limits to tourists and those seeking the trail of springs in Manitou for a decade and more.
The strange plastic globe over the stained font and its unnerving indoor pagoda enlaced with wrought iron and aged tiles remind one of some weird hospital in a horror movie. Will it prosper now? One wonders as much of the Spa building is owned but not lived in by it's owners and still, store spaces are only copies of others in town and therefore visited infrequently despite it's proximity to the heavily visited Arcade boardwalk. The spring also only flows intermittently. Finding a spa in the building was a nil too though it has an online page, it is not immediately evident in the building.
The other springs seem to be drying up as well. The Ute Chief spring is dry and dusty. Cheyenne, Soda, and Navajo spring are off, or barely a trickle. Those that still run, encrusted with expected deposits, spray visitors with welcome showers of lemony/irony water in the hot summer valley air.
Seven minute spring is still the biggest and best for getting a full gallon but much of it is running freely over the lawn and sidewalk and gutters of it's little unused amphitheater park. The grass is a mudhole and the interestingly designed font base architecture is clearly not working and in need of repairs.
It makes one wonder how much the little town values it's main attraction. It should be number 1 in their upkeep agenda for without those springs there would be no Manitou Springs.
With several brand new stores and buildings thriving while the historical ones peel their paint and sit empty, it seems the curse is working hard to rid itself of the descendants of conniving pioneer squatters in it's own way.

I feel like 'check my proof' questions are sort of suboptimal, but as I'm purely a self-studier and in particular the book I'm working from doesn't have solutions, this is sort of my only means of verification, which is always nice to have. So the help is always much appreciated!
"Let $X$ be a space and $x$ a point at which $X$ is locally compact. Prove that there is a local basis $\mathcal{B}$ at $x$ such that $\bar{B}$ is compact for each $B \in \mathcal{B}$."
Answer given below is the original, and a correct, proof.

JWC TO BETTY BRAID ; 13 July 1853; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18530713-JWC-BB-01; CL 28: 201-202
Moffat 13th July [1853]
My dearest Betty
I am afraid almost to tell you that I am here; without be[ing]1 able to say positively that I am coming to see you. When I left London to see you was one of the chief pleasures I expected from my travels. I intended to be in Scotland some six weeks at least and to go to Haddington and Fife. But now it seems likely I shall have to return to London, almost immediately without having seen anyone but my Husbands relations in Dumfriesshire. Mr Carlyle remained behind at Chelsea having never recovered (he says) from the knocking about he had last year in Scotland and Germany while the house was repairing He is very melancholy and helpless, left alone, at the best of times—and now I am afraid he is going to have a great sorrow in the death of his old Mother. She has been in a frail way for years back but within the last few days her weakness has increased so much that Dr Carlyle thinks it probable enough she may not rally again. In which case I shall go home at once to be some help to Mr Carlyle. I am staying now with Dr Carlyle's wife while he himself is gone to see his Mother—and his report tonight will decide me what to do— So in case I do not see you, dear Betty—and I fear I shall not see you, here is a ribbon in remembrance of my birthday—with a kiss and my blessing— Mr Erskine writes that he saw you and liked you very much2—I am sure you would like him too—
The little view at the top of this sheet is where I live in London3—
Bishop Terrot told me George4 was poorly when he saw you last—I hope he is recovered—tell me all about yourself soon. If I do not write within a week address to me Cheyne Row Chelsea
affectionately yours
Jane Carlyle

CONCORD, N.C. -- Kasey Kahne survived Sunday night's Coca-Cola 600 at the Lowe's Motor Speedway, and in the process he broke a losing streak that dated back to the 2006 season.
By staying off the walls, keeping his engine and tires in one piece and having just enough gasoline to finish, he was in position to take advantage of Tony Stewart's late-race problems.
Kahne, who won last week's non-points all-star race, was a quarter mile behind Stewart with three laps to go, but Stewart blew a tire and crawled onto pit road. Unlike the others who led throughout the race, Kahne found a way to stay there.
"It's nice to be here," Kahne said. "We were where we needed to be. We took advantage. We had a lot to be excited about coming into the race. We stepped it up and put on a great show.
"There was no chance of catching (Stewart). I thought he had a chance to run out of gas. I couldn't believe he had a tire problem."
The race had several dominating runs, but most ended with brushes against the outside wall or problems on pit road.
Pole-sitter Kyle Busch led the first 46 laps, but he had problems with two different batteries. Busch dropped out of the top 10 after his team worked to fix the problem.
Kurt Busch led 64 laps during the bright sunshine in the first 120 laps, but his Dodge hit the fourth turn wall and never threatened again.
Brian Vickers then was unstoppable before as the lights came on, but a wheel sheered off his Toyota on Lap 186. The impact not only broke a section of the SAFER barrier, the wheel bounced into the infield and struck a camper. The speedway said nobody was injured.
Vickers led 61 laps and had all but 15 other drivers a lap down before he started to feel a vibration. The wheel came off before he had a chance to stop.
"I knew we had a problem in the last two runs and we had the left-rear wheel work loose toward the end of the run, but it stayed on," Vickers said. "The first time it happened was very gradual, and the last time it happed was very, very sudden."
With Vickers in the garage and the speedway under the lights, it was Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s turn to come to life. He set a course inches away from the outside wall, and that allowed him to carry a lot of momentum off the corners. He easily passed pole-sitter Kyle Busch on Lap 260 and 10 laps later he was more than two football fields ahead. Ten laps after that, it was a quarter mile.
But like Busch and Vickers before him, Earnhardt's run up front didn't last long. He blew a right-front tire and smacked the wall on the 297th lap. The impact was so severe it ground away all the paint and decals on the side of his car, but his team kept him on the lead laps by making three quick stops for repairs during the caution flag.
With Earnhardt mired deep in traffic with a crippled car, Stewart took his turn up front. During the re-start after the Earnhardt crash, however, Stewart started slowly and that triggered a chain reaction behind him that involved Carl Edwards, Martin Truex Jr., Reed Sorenson, Dave Blaney and Denny Hamlin.
Cautions for Patrick Carpentier's spin and debris sent everyone to pit road for service. Three-time 600 winner Jimmie Johnson gained track position by adding gas and not changing tires, but his old tires -- and a sour engine -- made it easy for Kyle Busch to take the lead with 54 laps remaining.
It was even easier for Kahne to drive past Busch with 39 to go.
Everyone had to stop for gas in the final 15 laps and Stewart's team had the stop timed perfectly. He stopped for only three seconds, but that was enough to get is Toyota to the finish line, but he didn't have enough tires. He blew his right-front tire two laps from an easy victory.
"Dale fell out; he was awesome," Kahne said. "Tony fell out, he was awesome. They had us beat at times; we had them beat at times."
Greg Biffle wound up second, followed by Kyle Busch in third, Jeff Gordon in fourth, Earnhardt in fifth, Jeff Burton in sixth, Matt Kenseth in seventh, Elliott Sadler in eighth, Edwards in ninth and David Reutimann in 10th.
"This was a hard fought effort from all of us," Biffle said. "I thought I had a flat early and we lost a lap. We had to chip away at it. The car was a handful to drive all night."
For many, even worse.

A short tutorial video on how to tie a Shemagh around your neck and head/face military style. If you enjoyed this video please rate, comment, and/or subscribe and I will be sure to make more.
The Shemagh is probably one of the most useful piece of equipment a soldier can have.Shemagh is a square cotton cloth. It comes in a variety of color combinations (red/white - black/white - maroon/white - green/white - blue/white, etc.) - the more dominant color is sewn or woven into the cloth in a pattern. When used correctly, as originally intended - a head wrap, the Shemagh is surprisingly comfortable. But it also have several other uses.
The Shemagh is a traditional head wrap originating from the Middle East/Arabic culture developed from the Arabic turban - and have been used by them for centuries. Now days it's perhaps publicly best know as used by the Palestinians in Israel. To the western world and - in military use - the British SAS (Special Air Service) discovered the Shemaghs potential when operating in northern Africa's deserts during the WW2. It has been a popular and valuable piece of the SAS soldiers equipment ever since and have spread from there

Keith Hill is frustrated that Blackburn midfielder Dickson Etuhu did not get sent off for the tackle which injured Barnsley's star youngster John Stones on Tuesday night.
Etuhu was booked for the challenge while Stones limped off with a foot injury and is likely to miss tomorrow's game at Birmingham.
Hill said: "It amazes me that we are getting punished for challenges on our players. "Matty Done got injured by a terrible challenge against Middlesbrough and was out for five weeks. Bobby Hassell got sent off for a similar challenge to the one we saw at Blackburn.
"I love Dickson Etuhu but I think he should have been more harshly punished than he was.
"We looked much less solid after Stonesy came off. Their second goal came from their left hand side, our right hand side."

A crostata can take many forms: Sometimes it's a lattice-topped tart, sometimes a sort of deep-dish pie, and sometimes a kind of shortcake. For this free-form crostata, you roll out the dough, top it will sliced plums and strawberries, and then gently fold the edges of the pastry around the fruits. For a shortcut, place the disk of chilled dough directly on the baking sheet, cover the dough with a sheet of wax paper and roll it out right on the baking sheet.
All of the components can be found at any Kroger or Publix right here in Nashville.
Plum-berry crostata
- 1 cup plus two tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup yellow cornmeal
- 1/4 cup plus two tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons butter or margarine
- 2 medium plums, pitted and sliced
- 1 pint strawberries, hulled and sliced
In a food processor, combine the flour, cornmeal, 1/4 cup of the sugar and the salt, and process until well combined. Add the butter or margarine and process until the dough begins to leave the sides of the work bowl. Remove the dough and press into a flattened disk. Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until chilled.
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. line a large baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with non-stick spray.
Place the dough between 2 pieces of wax paper, and, using a rolling pin, roll into a 12-inch round. Carefully peel off the top piece of wax paper, invert the dough onto the prepared baking sheet and peel off the remaining wax paper. Arrange the plum and strawberries in whatever pattern you like, leaving a 1 1/2 inch border of dough all around. Using a metal spatula, carefully lift the dough border back over the fruits to form a rim. Sprinkle the fruits with the remaining sugar.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the fruits are tender. Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and allow the crostata to cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes. Carefully transfer the crostata to a platter or cut into wedges directly on the baking sheet.

Missy Higgins
"I didn't want to be a one-hit wonder. I'd seen all these other girls who'd left the music industry almost as soon as they'd entered it. I had too much respect for myself -- and for music -- to let that happen. To do that, I had to grow up a little bit. I had to experience life." -Missy Higgins, on why she put her debut album on hold.
Missy Higgins first hit the spotlight when her song "All For Believing" won Australia's Unearthed competition in 2001. Then, in 2004, she released her debut album The Sound of White, which went on to sell hundreds of thousands of copies and win the young singer-songwriter numerous awards.
But on the whole Missy is very tight-lipped about her personal life. She feels that it isn't anyone's business, even though she's in an industry that puts her very much in the public eye. Even if she didn't feel that way, Missy admits, she likely wouldn't make good fodder for gossip or tabloid media. "I don't think they'll find much, to tell you the truth," she says.
Missy Higgins is a huge hit in her native Australia, as one would expect. But she's still a little under the mainstream radar in America, as her brand of intelligent pop (and her accent) might not be the first choice of the teenybopper hordes. She's had airplay across a varied market all the same, from LA's KCRW, one of the first stations to champion her, to NPR. Missy may have to work harder to get noticed in the U.S., but she points out, "it keeps me humble."
Missy Higgins BiographyMelissa Morrison Higgins was born on August 19, 1983, in Melbourne, Australia. She is the youngest of three children of a doctor and a childcare center operator. Missy was a quiet child, but very mischievous, and a bit of a tomboy. "By the time my parents had me," she theorizes, "they couldn't be bothered to enforce the rules anymore." Ironically, once she was a teenager, Missy pleaded with her parents to send her to boarding school, because she equated being away from home with having more freedom.
At the prestigious Geelong Grammar School, an hour's drive from Melbourne, Missy found happiness, especially when she could sneak off into the school's music room. Her father played piano and her brother played in a jazz band, and Missy herself had always had a passion for singing and piano. Influenced by grunge rock once she was in boarding school, Missy took up guitar as well; but she still played with her brother's band, lying about her age to get into local clubs.
missy higgins writes all for believing
When she was 16, Missy wrote an original song, "All For Believing," as a last-minute assignment for her music class. Her teacher, impressed, urged Missy to make a demo recording. Her family was no less encouraging. Her brother told Missy to take the song to record companies, while her sister felt she should submit it to Unearthed, a national song competition for unsigned artists run by Triple J, Australia's influential national alternative radio network.
In 2001, Missy entered her song in Unearthed, and won. Soon "All For Believing" was getting radio play all over Australia, even as Missy was finishing school. She got offers from record companies who urged her to leave school and quickly release an album to capitalize on her fame.
But after some consideration, Missy decided to finish school, then take some time off to experience more of the world. Having lived all her life in or near Melbourne, Missy decided to go backpacking through Europe for six months. Although she lost her guitar on a Spanish train, Missy was able to broaden her mind and got many song ideas from her trip.
missy higgins releases the sound of white
Nevertheless, Missy didn't get away entirely. While in London, she received an e-mail inviting her to Los Angeles, where "All For Believing" was getting local play. She put on a show, made local connections, and even started on a deal with Warner Bros./Reprise Records before returning to Europe.
Once she had seen enough of the Old World, Missy returned home for a rest, before traveling once again to Los Angeles to begin work on her debut album. The Sound of White was completed in mid-2004 and the single "Scar" became a hit in Australia.
missy higgins wins five aria awards
Missy won an ARIA Award (an Australian Grammy) for "Scar," as the Best Pop Release of 2004. The Sound of White was released that September, debuting at No. 1. The album went on to sell half a million copies in Australia, and in 2005, it and Missy swept the ARIA Awards, winning five more, including Album of the Year and Best Female Artist.
But Missy wasn't resting on her laurels in the meantime. After recording The Sound of White, she has been touring continuously, in Australia, Europe and America, although she still shares an apartment in Melbourne with her sister while writing songs for her next album.

Book synopsis
This book is a major reassessment of the French Revolution's impact on the English novel of the Romantic period. Focusing particularly – but by no means exclusively – on women writers of the time, it explores the enthusiasm, wariness, or hostility with which the Revolution was interpreted and represented for then-contemporary readers. A team of international scholars study how English Romantic novelists sought to guide the British response to an event that seemed likely to turn the world upside down.

The first full-length official trailer for the upcoming concert film One Direction: Where We Are – The Concert Film was released today, courtesy of its distributor, Arts Alliance. If you sit really quietly and concentrate, you can actually hear the dulled collective of fangirls losing their minds. The trailer commands fans to get hyped and spread the word using the Twitter hashtag #1DWWAFilm, so by all means, get excited.
This is the second time that the boyband has visited the cinema, as last year brought us the official documentary One Direction: This Is Us, directed by none other than Morgan Spurlock (Super Size Me). After the success of that film, why not continue to cash in while the band still has a name for itself? Tween girls are a market ripe for poaching, and successive docs about Justin Bieber and his ilk have proven that the documentary/concert film can sometimes be extremely lucrative.
Named after the band's most recent tour, Where We Are was shot in San Siro stadium in Milan. Mainly showing concert footage, the film features only 15 minutes (out of a 90-minute runtime) of never-before-seen footage of the band offstage and in interviews.
One Direction: Where We Are – The Concert Film will open for a limited release only on October 11 and 12. To find out where the film will be playing near you, visit the film's official website. A DVD of the film will be released on December 1. It is available now for pre-order. The band members are Harry Styles, Liam Payne, Zayn Malik, Niall Horan and Louis Tomlinson.
