Among the small tight-knit tribe of her profession, the news of Marie Colvin's death yesterday felt something akin to the moment a previous generation recalled the killing of Kennedy.
Few foreign correspondents will forget where they were or what they were doing when they first heard word that the foremost champion among us, a woman who was the embodiment of all that was brave and wise and good in journalism, had been slain by a Syrian artillery barrage in the besieged city of Homs.
What? God, no. Not Marie.
In death, as in life she could make grown men cry.

2010 traffic deaths second lowest on record in NebraskaTraffic accidents claimed 186 lives in Nebraska in 2010, the second-lowest total since the state began keeping records in 1937. The low number marked the first time Nebraska fell below the rate of 1 fatality per 100 million miles driven, a goal set by safety officials in 2007's Nebraska Strategic Highway Safety Plan. In 2009, 223 people died in motor vehicle accidents in the state.

Hy, write Python in Lisp
Hy is a dialect of Lisp that compiles immediately into a Python Abstract Syntax Tree. This allows the developer to take advantage of the Lisp (lack of) syntax while putting all the powerful batteries included in Python at her disposal.
I first got interested in Lisp when I started working my way through SICP. Among the many wonderful thing this book introduced me to, was the language used throughout, Scheme. Scheme is amazing, but being minimal by definition, it can get pretty tedious to get any non-trivial work done. On the other hand, I'm pretty familiar with Python, its libraries and its native types. Having the ability to call these directly from a Lisp code has immediately caught my attention.
In this article, I want to detail the first steps I do in Hy. We will work through a simple example, yet adding some (minor) complexity that will show us how to leverage the awesomeness of Hy. I will assume prior programming knowledge from my readers, as well as some familiarity with the Lisp parens-and-prefix notation (If you don't, Wikipedia has a good article on it). Obviously, I'm also assuming prior familiarity with Python.
Simple example: Fibonacci!
The absolute first step we're going to do is to implement a function that computes the nth value of the Fibonacci sequence. A classical exercise, meant to explore the syntax.
The predictable recursive solution
Virtually every computer science student everywhere has seen this one. The Fibonacci sequence is extremely easy to implement, due to the recursive nature of its definition:
(defn fibo-recursive [n] (if (<= n 1) n (+ (fibo-recursive (- n 1)) (fibo-recursive (- n 2)))))
The iterative solution
The recursive solution is easy to implement in this case, but is notoriously costly and slow when it comes to computing. Never fear, here's a better iterative version.
(defn fibo-iterative [n] (defn fibo-loop [n a b counter] (if (= counter n) b (fibo-loop n b (+ a b) (+ counter 1)))) (if (<= n 1) n (fibo-loop n 0 1 1)))
You may note that fibo-loop does call itself recursively. That's because the solution I use is only syntactically recursive. The true evolution of the function is iterative (thank you SICP for teaching me this one!). You may compare execution times of the two functions for something as low as n=35; the difference should show even on modern powerful hardware. But let's not get ahead of ourselves.
Showing the result
If you're familiar with the Python range function, the following should make perfect sense to you:
=> (print (map fibo-iterative (range 10))) [0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34]
However, map is arguably frowned upon in the Python community. We would usually prefer using list comprehensions. No problem, they're perfectly supported in Hy. Here's how we would get the same list as above, excluding all the odd numbers:
=> (print (list-comp ... (fibo-iterative x) ... (x (range 10)) ... (= (% x 2) 0))) [0, 1, 3, 8, 21]
Let's mix it up: Memoization
Now we're going to manipulate functions and built-in types. Let's memoize this function! A memoized function would hold an internal cache for already computed values. If you're not familiar with this technique, take a look at the Wikipedia article which does a good job of explaining it.
Writing a decorator
Here's a great excuse to manipulate Hy's (well, Python's) dictionaries. This is my code for a memoization function:
(defn memoized [func] (setv cache_dict {}) (defn memoized_func [*args] (if (in *args cache_dict) (.get cache_dict *args) (.setdefault cache_dict *args (func *args)))) memoized_func)
A few things to note:
- The literal constructor for an empty dictionary is the same as Python `{}`. However the non-empty constructor has a slight change in syntax.
- As far as I know, the only way to access elements of the dictionary is through functions. I fear these methods are deprecated in future versions in favor of the square brackets [] notation.
- Keywords like `if` and `in` are functions in Hy.
- Note the dotted notation for functions? You can read more about it in the tutorial.
Let's apply this
The memoized function we just defined above takes a function as an argument and returns a function as a result. It can thus behave like a decorator. And Hy provides a function that replaces the traditional Python '@' notation:
(with-decorator memoized (defn fibo-recursive [n] (if (<= n 1) n (+ (fibo-recursive (- n 1)) (fibo-recursive (- n 2))))))
You can validate that our recursive function has been in fact memoized by computing something significantly more costly. On my machine, the following is computed in an instant:
=> (fibo-recursive 100) 354224848179261915075
Hy: Batteries included
Python is famous for having really good libraries for all sorts of programs. In this final chapter we will see how Hy will take advantage of it. And to continue the with the exercise we've started, I suggest we use the module datetime.
First run: An intuitive approach.
To avoid exploding the Python stack, let's compare the execution time for n=35. The number isn't very high, but it should be enough to show significant differences. Here's a first draft of what we're going for:
(import datetime) ;; we define our decorator (defn memoized [func] (setv cache_dict {}) (defn memoized_func [*args] (if (in *args cache_dict) (.get cache_dict *args) (.setdefault cache_dict *args (func *args)))) memoized_func) ;; we define two similar functions, except one of them is decorated with memoized (with-decorator memoized (defn fibo-memoized [n] (if (<= n 1) n (+ (fibo-memoized (- n 1)) (fibo-memoized (- n 2)))))) (defn fibo-recursive [n] (if (<= n 1) n (+ (fibo-recursive (- n 1)) (fibo-recursive (- n 2))))) ;; we measure execution time of each funciton by taking a snapshot of the ;; datetime before and after each execution (setv before (datetime.datetime.now)) (fibo-memoized 35) (setv after (datetime.datetime.now)) (print (.format "fibo-memoized executed in {}" (- after before))) (setv before (datetime.datetime.now)) (fibo-recursive 35) (setv after (datetime.datetime.now)) (print (.format "fibo-recursive executed in {}" (- after before)))
The result is pretty predictable, the memoized version being several orders of magnitude faster than the non-memoized one. The difference would grow even much more for arguments larger than 35.
fibo-memoized executed in 0:00:00.000415 fibo-recursive executed in 0:00:05.047832
Second run: Let's output JSON
For lack of a better idea, let's use the Python json module to present the results in a nicer serializable way. The idea is pretty straightforward: in order to be serializable, we will use the name of the function (a string) in the dictionary, and we will convert the timedelta into another string as values.
Keeping the same function definitions as above, here's how I'd do it:
(setv results {}) (setv before (datetime.datetime.now)) (fibo-memoized 35) (setv after (datetime.datetime.now)) (results.setdefault fibo-memoized.__name__ (str (- after before))) (setv before (datetime.datetime.now)) (fibo-recursive 35) (setv after (datetime.datetime.now)) (results.setdefault fibo-recursive.__name__ (str (- after before))) (print (json.dumps results))
Let's make all this pretty
Here are a few things we can do to improve the result (more like, to explore Hy a bit more):
- Hide the hours and minutes in our datetimes.
- Change the indentation of the JSON string we output, to make it pretty.
- While we're at it, wrap the repeated block of code into a function.
The end result:
(setv results {}) ;; it would probably be better to avoid keeping this guy as a global. (map (lambda [func] (setv before (datetime.datetime.now)) (func 35) ;; 35 is completely arbitrary (setv after (datetime.datetime.now)) (results.setdefault func.__name__ (.total_seconds (- after before)))) [fibo-recursive fibo-memoized]) (print (kwapply (json.dumps) { "obj" results "indent" 4}))
What you should note:
- The literal constructors for lists and dictionaries are equivalent to their Python counter-parts but they don't have commas inside.
- We've seen an alternative to the dot notation in results.setdefault.
- As expected, lambda in Hy looks more complete than the operator in Python.
- kwapply is Hy's way of specifying the values of named arguments.
That post is a brief introduction to Hy from my perspective of a Python developer. I really hope it'll get people excited to try it out. If you're fluent in Python and curious about Lisp you should look out for this one.
A few things to keep in mind:
- The project is very young. Do not deploy this in production. Yet.
- Check out the documentation. It's young but good enough to get you started quickly.
- I don't know about other editors, but emacs users, you're going to need this to check out this one.

Salmon contains a large amount of omega-3 fatty acids, a type of polyunsaturated fat and one of the essential fatty acids. While the consumption of polyunsaturated fats have not been proven to have a direct association with preventing cancer, its substitution for saturated fats, such as beef and pork, has proven some benefits. As you decrease your saturated fat intake, you may also be decreasing your risk for lung, breast, endometrium, colorectal, and prostate cancers.

Good candidate
I would like to voice my support for Clinton Culverhouse, candidate for School Board of Highlands County District 5.
Clinton is a man of excellent character. He has shown his interest in the education of our students by his many hours of volunteering at school events. He is the parent of two children who attend our public schools. He has a true understanding of the needs of our schools.
I urge voters to choose Clinton Culverhouse for school board on Aug. 26.
Christine Gregory
Campus police department
Gov. Scott said the state will pay to have law enforcement officers in schools. Now, Highlands County should have a county campus police department. The people would be trained at the same place the deputies are, but they would concentrate on juvenile law and juvenile crimes. They would not need other training that the deputies get like felonies, traffic enforcement, domestic violence, etc. They could get paid less than deputies.
By creating the campus police department, it would free up the deputies and city police officers to be put on patrol and perform the duties they were trained for instead of being in school all day. This would be a benefit to the sheriff and city police, the residents of Highlands County, and cost less for the school board.
If a felony occurred in school, a deputy could be called to handle it.
John Tuthill
Retired police officer
Police self-protection
Would our president, Barack Obama, have gotten so involved in the case of Michael Brown being killed by officer Darren Wilson if it had been a white boy being killed by a black police officer? I think not.
Michael Brown was a 6-foot, 4-inch, 300-pound overbearing individual as was shown in the robbery video. A police officer is required to take whatever measures necessary to get control of the situation at hand.
Charles German
Gay prejudice
Sheriff Benton's Highlands County Sheriff's Office demonstrates institutionally ingrained prejudice toward victims, evidently based on sexual orientation. Deputies are dismissive when a gay person is victimized by theft or subjected over and over to hate speech or intimidated by veiled threats.
The non-gay perpetrator is treated with deference, regardless of their history of criminal activities, and the gay person is treated as less than credible, simply because of the deputies' bigoted presumptions about openly gay people. Shame on Sheriff Benton.

text: India's national obsession, cricket, is entering uncharted territory. The sport's richest body BCCI on Wednesday carried out its first ever auction of players among the eight teams which will play in the newly-minted Indian Premier League (IPL). Despite the excitement, the $37.6 million which is the total amount to be paid to the 'sold' players, is small change compared to the English Premier league (EPL) which had annual revenues of $3.6 billion, with compensation for players amounting to $2 billion. Some of the valuations may seem weird but that was partly because they depended on the number of matches a player was available to play.

Several weeks after George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Pete Best and John Lennon had returned to England from Germany, Stuart Sutcliffe flew back on this day.
Harrison had been deported on 21 November, followed by McCartney and Best nine days later. Lennon travelled back alone on 10 December, while Sutcliffe went into temporary hiding with Astrid Kirchherr in Hamburg.
Sutcliffe knew he couldn't stay indefinitely after his bandmates had been deported, and on this day he flew back to Liverpool. Kirchherr bought him an aeroplane ticket as he was suffering from tonsillitis and she didn't want him to travel by ferry.

This volume is a symposium presented largely by advanced thinkers on the subject of women. The writing is interesting and thought provoking throughout. From personal experiences, many readers will find much on which they differ with those who write. Of particular interest to the physician is part two, which deals with psychology and pathology of the sexes, including particularly the articles entitled "What the Clinic Reveals," by Carrie Weaver Smith; "The Emotional Life of Modern Women," by G. V. Hamilton; "Woman's Sexual Nature," by Havelock Ellis, and "The Struggle Against Childbearing," by Herbert Aptekar.

Atrophy is a phenomenon that is ordinarily regarded as pathologic in character, although this is by no means always the case. It may be questioned, at any rate, whether the disappearance of certain bodily tissues with disuse or diminished function—for example, the atrophy of the mammary gland at the end of lactation—is not in reality a physiologic reaction. After Salkowski's pioneer studies in this field in 1889, the relation of autolysis to atrophy began to receive considerable attention.6 There followed a decade or more during which only occasional reference to the subject was made. Recently, however, with increasing knowledge of the importance of hydrogen ion concentration in many physiologic and biochemical reactions, the possible rôle of autolysis in the bodily processes has come into new prominence.7
It seems to be well established that the long-known "autodigestion" of most tissues kept under suitable conditions postmortem is due to enzymatic

The Catcher in the Rye
by J. D. Salinger
The Catcher in the Rye Holden Caulfield Quotes
Quote 1
Lawyers are all right, I guess – but it doesn't appeal to me," I said. "I mean they're all right if they go around saving innocent guys' lives all the time, and like that, but you don't do that kind of stuff if you're a lawyer. All you do is make a lot of dough and play golf and play bridge and buy cars and drink Martinis and look like a hot-shot. And besides. Even if you did go around saving guys' lives and all, how would you know if you did it because you really wanted to save guys' lives, or because you did it because what you really wanted to do was be a terrific lawyer, with everybody slapping you on the back and congratulating you in court when the goddam trial was over, the reporters and everybody, the way it is in the dirty movies? How would you know you weren't being a phony? The trouble is, you wouldn't. (20.46)
Oh, yeah, all the lawyers who go around saving innocent guys' lives all the time—as though there really are that many innocent guys to save, even if they wanted it. Thinking that there are enough innocent people to save is just part of Holden's own innocence.
Quote 2
"You know that song 'If a body catch a body comin' through the rye'? I'd like – "
"It's 'If a body meet a body coming through the rye'!" old Phoebe said. "It's a poem. By Robert Burns."
"I know it's a poem by Robert Burns."
She was right, though. It is "If a body meet a body coming through the rye." I didn't know it then, though.
"I thought it was 'If a body catch a body,'" I said. "Anyway, I keep picturing all these little kids playing some game in this big field of rye and all. Thousands of little kids, and nobody's around – nobody big, I mean – except me. And I'm standing on the edge of some crazy cliff. What I have to do, I have to catch everybody if they start to go over the cliff – I mean if they're running and they don't look where they're going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them. That's all I'd do all day. I'd just be the catcher in the rye and all. I know it's crazy, but that's the only thing I'd really like to be. I know it's crazy." (22.51-55)
Even more nobly, Holden doesn't just want to "save guys' lives," he wants to save kids' lives. As we discuss in lengthy detail in "What's Up With the Title?" the irony is that this song is actually about sex—and casual sex, at that. What Holden is attempting, then, is made futile.
Quote 3
But while I was sitting down, I saw something that drove me crazy. Somebody'd written "Fuck you" on the wall. It drove me damn near crazy. I thought how Phoebe and all the other little kids would see it, and how they'd wonder what the hell it meant, and then finally some dirty kid would tell them – all cockeyed, naturally – what it meant, and how they'd all think about it and maybe even worry about it for a couple of days. I kept wanting to kill whoever'd written it. I figured it was some perverty bum that'd sneaked in the school late at night to take a leak or something and then wrote it on the wall. I kept picturing myself catching him at it, and how I'd smash his head on the stone steps till he was good and goddam dead and bloody. But I knew, too, I wouldn't have the guts to do it. I knew that. That made me even more depressed. (25.16)
Ouch. Holden, baby, sorry to break it to you—but it was almost certainly one of the kids who wrote that. At least, judging by our elementary school, it was.

The dangerous heat that has wrapped itself around the Kansas City metropolitan area will stick around through Tuesday.
KMBC meteorologist Nick Bender said afternoon high temperatures on Monday and Tuesday will likely be in the 90s with heat index values at about 100 degrees.
Bender said the heat will start to subside Wednesday with cooler conditions expected later in the week.
Some parts of the region, particularly those well north of the Kansas City metropolitan area, could see rain and thunderstorms on Sunday evening, but they were not likely to be organized or severe.
He said scattered showers and storms are also likely for the second half of the work week. He said organized severe weather was not expected, but an isolated severe storm was possible.

Politico: Cruz lashes group wife belonged to; Roll Call disses Leppert, Jones
Another family member of U.S. Senate hopeful Ted Cruz– his wife, Heidi — is drawing media attention inside the Beltway. The online, Washington, D.C., news outlet Politico blogged Thursday that Ted Cruz in recent campaign appearances has called the establishment foreign-policy group, the Council on Foreign Relations, a "pit of vipers" and a "pernicious nest of snakes," even though it says his wife until June was an active member of the council.
Some background: Heidi Cruz, an investment banker, served in the administration of former President George W. Bush, both in a national security position at the White House and in two departmental, economic posts. She once belonged to the Council on Foreign Relations and she served on a council task force that six years ago recommended in this report a "security and prosperity partnership" for North America.
Even though she posted a dissent or clarification that she wanted free enterprise to take the lead on non-security questions (which I've pasted onto the jump), Heidi Cruz' involvement with the council apparently has been a hot topic among some conservative GOP activists this past summer. (Look about two-thirds of the way down in this Aug. 3 post by Houston GOP blogger David Jennings, a/k/a "Big Jolly." He links to this group's website denouncing the whole thing; and to the council's 2005 announcement).
She let a five-year membership lapse, Politico reported.
Cruz campaign spokesman James Bernsen confirmed that Heidi Cruz, as "an expert on North American trade," did some work for the council. He said Politico accurately reported that she had a "term membership" that expired in June. "She was a term member, which is not a full member," he said. "It's kind of a junior membership for younger people. It expired in June of this year, which was its normal time to expire."
Bernsen noted that Politico ran with its blogpost a video snippet of Ted Cruz' comments at a recent candidate forum in Tyler. He speculated that a rival Republican camp supplied the video.
"It's clear that the other candidates are targeting Ted," Bernsen said. "The only one who's moving and has momentum now is Ted. That's why."
Meanwhile, another D.C. publication, Roll Call, today ran a story summarizing the U.S. Senate race as basically a two-man contest between Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and Cruz. (In DMN photo above, the GOP field is seated in the front row at a Lewisville event in July — with Dewhurst absent, as he almost always is.)
"Also running for the Republican nod is former Dallas Mayor Tom Leppert," the Roll Call piece says. It mentions Leppert, who suffers from low name recognition but at least has a well-funded campaign, after another Republican candidate who is very lightly funded: Railroad Commission Chairwoman Elizabeth Ames Jones. Wow. What a "dis" to hizzoner!
I support the Task Force report and its recommendations aimed at
building a safer and more prosperous North America. Economic prosperity
and a world safe from terrorism and other security threats are
no doubt inextricably linked. While governments play an invaluable
role in both regards, we must emphasize the imperative that economic
investment be led and perpetuated by the private sector. There is no
force proven like the market for aligning incentives, sourcing capital,
and producing results like financial markets and profit-making businesses.
This is simply necessary to sustain a higher living standard for
the poorest among us–truly the measure of our success. As such,
investment fundsand financingmechanisms shouldbe deemedattractive
instruments by those committing the capital and should only be developed
in conjunction with market participants.
Heidi S. Cruz

That a second edition was forthcoming about four years later attests the fact that the history of Chinese medicine is a fascinating story. The volume comprises two distinct books: Book one, by Dr. K. C. Wong, lecturer on medical history at the National University in Shanghai, deals with the history of the indigenous art from the earliest recorded period to the close of the eighteenth century; and book two, by Dr. Wu Lien-teh, director of the Manchurian Plague Prevention Service, treats of the last 130 years, the period since the introduction into China of Western medicine by the foreign missionaries. Book one is the smaller for two reasons: (1) there are many difficulties inherent in the collection of records of medical discoveries during the very early centuries covered by the first book and (2) medical progress

Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan can give NFLX a boost
Don't get taken by surprise by these costs
Join the NASDAQ Community today and get free, instant access to portfolios, stock ratings, real-time alerts, and more!
I once had a family relative who was a big believer in U.S.
government bonds (NYSEArca: TLH). It was his opinion that
government bonds were always a safer bet relative to other assets.
And for that reason, he believed an investment portfolio consisting
of 100% U.S Treasuries (NYSEArca: IEF) was the way to go.
Unfortunately, my relative is no longer alive but if he were, I
wonder if he would agree that lending money to today's U.S.
government is a safe bet.'
Given the U.S. government's deteriorating financial situation is it
wise to own government bonds (NYSEArca: TLT)? And if you still own
government bonds directly or a broad bond fund (NYSEArca: AGG) is
it too late to bail?
Public Disdain for U.S. Debt
Bill Gross, manager of the Pimco Total Return Fund (Nasdaq: PTTAX)
has been one of today's most vocal critics of U.S. government
In a shot at the traditional view that investment portfolios
should always have exposure to government debt, Gross said,
'Old-fashioned gilts and Treasury bonds may need to be exorcised'
from model portfolios and replaced with more attractive
alternatives both from a risk and a reward standpoint.'
Gross explains that free handouts have gotten the government
into a fine mess.
'To rebalance debt loads and re-equitize financial institutions
that should have known better, central banks and policymakers are
taking money from one class of asset holders and giving it to
another. A low or negative real interest rate for an extended
period of time' is the most devilish of all policy tools,' said
Gross in written piece titled 'Devil's Bargain.'
Anyone that has followed Gross' suggestion to completely bail on
U.S. Treasuries has watched them rise. Like many on Wall Street,
Gross is a better philosopher than a market timer.
The Wolf and the Boy
What can be said of the Three-Musketeers - Standard & Poor's,
Fitch Ratings and Moody's (
)? Like the boy that cried wolf, the credit rating agencies are at
it again. How many pre-warnings and pre-pre-warnings about a
potential downgrade in the U.S. government's credit score are they
going to give us?
The public has already stopped listening to this rating nonsense,
probably going back to 2008. Why has the Securities and
Exchange Commission permitted these so-called independent agencies
to be so accommodating with the U.S. government? Haven't raters
created a double standard? Would credit raters, for example, cut
the same sort of slack for other bond issues they rate? What about
troubled municipalities (NYSEArca: MUB)? When their credit quality
is in doubt, do they get dozens of warnings like the U.S
government, or do they just get the rug pulled from beneath their
feet with a cut?
For whatever it's worth, Standard & Poor's (
) is forecasting that national debt will rise to 84% of gross
domestic product by 2013. Maybe they should stick to forecasting
instead of rating bonds.
Another King Kong-sized Headache
The concern about the deteriorating credit quality of government
debt is impacting another important element of the financial system
- money market funds. How?
Money market funds (Nasdaq: TRSXX), which are sometimes referred
to as 'cash,' are an important component to the financial system
because they provide investors with a place to park cash. Money
funds are regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940 and
are typically sold as a 'safe' place to invest cash because they
are designed to keep a steady net asset value of $1 per share. How
do they achieve this goal? By investing in commercial paper, U.S.
Treasuries and other short-term financial instruments.
The first U.S. money market fund was started in 1971 by Bruce R.
Bent and Henry B. R. Brown. It was called the Reserve Fund and the
idea was to provide investors with a cash management tool that
would give them stability and liquidity. In subsequent years, other
money market funds offered from banks and fund companies
Money market funds get themselves into trouble when they venture
into riskier assets to squeeze out a higher yield. Trouble can also
happen when money funds buy assets that a purportedly safe, like
government bonds, but are camouflaged rubbish. Is another repeat
run on money market funds just ahead?
Although low interest rates have bought the U.S. government time to
get its financial house in order, they're just as much of a mess
today as they were before. Conventional wisdom says to immediately
sell all U.S. Treasuries, but we've all seen the poor results
conventional wisdom often delivers.

Catching Fire
by Suzanne Collins
Catching Fire Theme of Competition
It's pretty cruel to call a competition that's really a fight to the death "the Games," isn't it? But that's how it goes in Panem. In Catching Fire the Games are ratcheted up a notch because it's their 75th anniversary. This year's Hunger Games is a special celebration called the Quarter Quell. This means the competition is even tougher than usual, since the participants are all previous Hunger Games victors. It just goes to show, you're never safe in Panem, where everything is a kind of lethal game.
Questions About Competition
- Is the Quarter Quell a fair competition by its own rules? Why or why not?
- Who is the book's best competitor? The worst? If the rebels hadn't involved themselves in the Quarter Quell, who do you think would be the last person standing?
- What does winning really mean to the victors?
- How would Katniss have approached the second Games as a competitor if Peeta weren't playing?

Engineers Hold Labor Day Protest Against Paying Income TaxMay 3rd, 2013 , The Cambodia Daily
More than 50 engineers employed by Japan's Sumitomo Mitsui Construction Co. Ltd. to work on a new Neak Loueng Bridge in Kandal province protested on Wednesday over paying income tax of 10 percent and are threatening to go on strike again if their employer dose not pay them back.
The Labor Day celebration by 54 engineers in Loeuk Dek district is the latest in a series of protests by workers who are reluctant to pay tax on their salaries and comes as pressure is rising on the government to become less reliant on donor aid and collect more in tax revenue. …
Garment workers who make more than $125 a month through working overtime have also held protects over a 5 percent tax deduction and insisted that factories should be responsible for it.
Still, collecting taxes is a priority for the government. The International Monetary Fund warned earlier this year that the government's tax revenue is not increasing proportionally to the country's gross domestic product growth. …

Retailers are rushing to one place in mid-Michigan... Delta Township. It's an area that's already booming with stores and restaurants, and soon there will be even more options.
"The only two that are public are Five Below and Ulta, a beauty store. And there's some other stores like clothing stores, and a lot of synergy will happen on this site. And I think that's what brings in a lot of these retailers... they like to travel around and show up at the same locations together," said Jon Laureto, Wolverine Building Group
Construction of the six new stores is on a fast track and should be done by the fall. The new site will be added to the marketplace at delta township, where retailers like lowes and wal-mart are located.
"It's been performing very well. Obviously, there's some great anchor tenants over here. And with the economy picking up nationally a lot of national brands are coming in and they want to be near their other retailers," said Laureto.
There's no shortage of retailers in the area. but the project's manager says the compeition should not cause any stores to go under. And the area should be able to carry even more business in the coming years.
"There's is more future plans, but not for the immediate future, so there's always changes for what the market wants, and likely there will be more activity happenning," said Laureto.
And that's just what's coming to the Marketplace at Delta Township. Three miles away, the Lansing Mall plans to expand. A 12-screen movie theater with stadium seating will be added, as well as a new restaraunt. The mall's spokesman could not comment on when construction will be finished.

Creativity and inspiration: Cafes and other creative haunts in Cape Town
We all know about the famous Café de Flore in Paris, that has played host to literary greats such as Jean-Paul Sartre, Simone de Beauvoir and Albert Camus. Yet being here in sunny South Africa means that we cannot sit on the corner of the Boulevard Saint-Germain and muse about life and her meanings, no we have to make do with the likes of the lovely Honest Chocolate Shop and the Yours Truly Cafe. Sigh, our life is so difficult... This is a collection of as many cafe's, coffee shops and convents in Cape Town that I could find to inspire you.

Algae concerns in drinking waterUPDATED 8:16 PM EDT Aug 04, 2014
Toledo's drinking water problems were spawned from the same blue-green algae that can plague parts of Lake Champlain, prompting the question of whether people in the Champlain Valley could face the same problem.Video Transcript
COULD IT HAPPEN HERE? - SOME PLACES THERE ARE CURRENTLY WARNINGS ABOUT BLUE GREEN ALGAE IN MISSISSQUOI BAY... EXPERTS DO POINT OUT WHILE ALGAE IS A PERPETUAL PROBLEM IN PARTS OF THE LAKE -- THERE ARE OTHERS THAT ARE STILL CLEAR. LIVE IN THE NEWSROOM... BLUE-GREEN ALGAE WAS HIGHLIGHTED THIS PAST WEEK IN TOLEDO NEARLY A HALF MILLION PEOPLE WERE TOLD TO STAY AWAY FROM TAP WATER BECAUSE OF TOXINS PRODUCED BY THE ALGAE GROWING IN LAKE ERIE -- THE CITY'S WATER SOURCE. SO, WHEN LAKE CHAMPLAIN IS PLAGUED BY THE SAME KIND BACTERIA-- DOES OUR DRINKING WATER BECOME THREATENED? Michael Barsotti, CHAMPLAIN WATER DISTRICT 6:06 "We don't believe it could happen here in the champlain water district." MICHAEL MARSOTTI IS THE DIRECTOR OF WATER QUALITY AND PRODUCTION AT THE CHAMPLAIN WATER DISTRICT. THE OPERATION FILTERS ABOUT 10 MILLION GALLONS PER DAY TO SUPPLY WATER TO CUSTOMERS IN THE GREATER BURLINGTON AREA. standup 23:56 "The reason he's so confident in the quality of the district's water has to do with something that's a half mile off shore, beneath the surface here in Shelburne Bay." Michael Barsotti, CHAMPLAIN WATER DISTRICT 1:21 "We built a new intake, a redundant intake out into Lake Champlain. It's 2500 feet out into the lake at 75 feet of depth." THAT'S WHERE THE DISTRICT DRAWS THE RAW WATER OUT OF THE LAKE BEFORE BRINGING INTO THE FILTRATION SYSTEM. HE SAYS THE DEPTH OF THE INTAKE MAKES ALL THE DIFFERENCE. Michael Barsotti, CHAMPLAIN WATER DISTRICT 6:48 "The benefit is that any kind of algae tends to be on the surface of the water, so the deeper you are away from the surface of the water the less likely the algae's going to have any kind of impact." NATS OF LAKE WAVES LAKE ADVOCATES SAY OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT, PLANTS THAT DRAW WATER FROM SHALLOWER DEPTHS MIGHT NOT BE SO WELL OFF. IN ADDITION, THEY SAY MONITORING OF BLUE GREEN ALGAE SHOULD BE BETTER. James Ehlers, LAKE CHAMPLAIN INTERNATIONAL 36:08 "We seem to be content as a culture to monitor and just watch these things almost as if we're looking in our rear-view mirror at a car accident. We need to be looking out the windshield and thinking about how we can prevent these things from happening down the road." CAME OVER TO
