More than a decade after it was set aside for preservation, a 20-acre site at Palauea could be transformed into a "living classroom" on Hawaiian culture, archaeology and agriculture under a proposal by the University of Hawaii Maui College.
Archaeologists believe the parcel was once part of a major South Maui Hawaiian settlement that contained an important water source, a heiau complex and other ancient sites. The site was designated a cultural preserve as a condition of the 2000 special management area and project district approvals for the One Palauea Bay subdivision, and the developers have long proposed transferring the parcel to the University of Hawaii.
Now UH-MC officials are gathering public comments on a plan to take over the site, in advance of presenting a formal proposal to the UH Board of Regents for approval.

"It's ancient," said Kiope Raymond, associate professor of Hawaiian Studies at UH-MC. "It was a very thriving community of Hawaiians, and much of that has been obliterated, unfortunately, over time, with the build-outs of the resort developments."
Brian Moto, special assistant to the chancellor at UH-MC, said Palauea was an exciting project for the college.
"The college views this preserve as an important potential resource for the perpetuation of native Hawaiian culture and education," he said.
The Palauea Cultural Preserve is located on a 20.7-acre site below Wailea Alanui Drive, just past the Fairmont Kea Lani Resort, adjacent to the One Palauea Bay subdivision.
Archaeologist Janet Six said the parcel was once part of a "substantial" fishing village researchers believe was inhabited for more than 1,300 years, with as many as 10,000 residents at one time.
While most of the sites have been destroyed by development, the preserve parcel is important because it includes ancient water sources - wells where Hawaiians knew they could find fresh water floating above brackish during times of drought, Six said.
"The land was special because of the water that was there," she said.
That's likely why the spot became the location of a heiau and "priests' compound," she said. The site also includes fishing shrines and some ancient agricultural sites, she said.
Archaeologists have identified more than 300 sites on the land, including burials which would be stabilized and not disturbed, Raymond said.
While UH-MC would be required to take on certain maintenance responsibilities if the university agreed to accept the property, officials are still developing a plan for how the site would be managed and used by the college.
Officials held a meeting last week to hear from community members, and they plan to hold another meeting in the future, Moto said.
Community members may also submit comments to the chancellor's office, he said.
"We met with members of families with historic ties with the area and are heartened by their support for the college's approach to stewardship," Moto said. "We're looking forward to their continued participation."
No timetable has yet been set for a formal proposal to be delivered to the Board of Regents, and for the board to vote on the plan, he said.
The developers' preservation plan includes a requirement that when homeowners in the One Palauea Bay subdivision sell their property, they set aside half of 1 percent of the proceeds to a fund that would pay for the management of the cultural preserve, Moto noted.
Raymond said he hoped the site could one day be used as a multidisciplinary "living laboratory" for UH-MC Hawaiian Studies, ocean studies, archaeology and agriculture programs.
Six said she hoped the ultimate plan for the site would include clearing the area of invasive species and replanting it with native vegetation that could re-create the ancient dryland forest from the area.
"We could show people we don't need to make Wailea look like Hana to make it beautiful," she said.
Future archaeological activities on the site include no plans for digging or excavation that might disturb ancient burials, she stressed. The site is located atop a'a lava, so the ancient sites and features are already in the open air, not underground.
"We're not digging at Palauea," Six said. "The archaeology is above ground and would consist of mapping. As we clear kiawe, we would be likely to find more sites."
There are indications that ancient Hawaiians grew dryland taro and sweet potato on the site, so the parcel could also be used for teaching traditional agriculture - a counterpart to locations that already exist in other parts of the island that demonstrate wetland taro and agriculture techniques, she said.
"Hawaiians were an island people who knew how to live in dry and wet areas," she said. "This could be a living classroom."

About Me: I teach sociology and try to help generate knowledge that will help create a better world. I am a fan of all the dedicated souls who try to make a difference in the lives of the people in despair. I like to see my goal as a sociologist is to underatnd, interpret what is going on in the world and how to change things for the better so that people can live in peace. If I can help even one person see the world differently it is worth an effort.
My Passions: Love for knowledge and humanity
My Challenges: Managing time.
My Vision for the Future: A peaceful world with smiles on the faces of all.
My Areas of Expertise: Sociology of the global processes.
I was touched by the great and heartwarming story on Nasreen and her school/hospital by Sunita Basnet from Nepal who is studying at AWU. She wrote with passion. She is also a hero. Young and dedicated people like Nasreen and Sunita will help turn the gloom of South Asia in to a bright morning. And in their efforts, I can see the first ray of the dawn. Who says we have no heroes and role-models?
Dear Habib, I realy like the name you gave to your journal and looking forward to reading some posts! No matter who we are, and where we are from - it is nice to learn news from different angles. Ad a sociologist you can teach us new versus known things.
With best wishes, Victoria
WorldPulse Community Champion
Hey there,
Welcome to World Pulse!
I just finished a degree in mass communications with a minor in Sociology. I love Sociology! It's so diverse and interesting. Are you interested in a particular branch of sociology? I was always interested in political sociology.
Tell us more about your love for sociology and teaching!
Also, I've noticed that you teach at Zayed university in AD. I used to live in Al-Ain , but I visited AD all the time. Is Sociology popular in the UAE? Social Sciences were never very popular in the Arab world.
Best wishes, Kizzie
Thanks Kizzie. I do visit Al Ain sometimes. It is a nice place without skyscrapers that dot the cityscapes of Dubai and Abu Dhabi. I also like the hot spring there.
My interests in sociology cover several fields. I am not keen on data crunching, quantitative social science although time to time I teach a class on Research Methods where I mainly pursue the logic of social research. I do dwell on political sociology but my main interest is: global studies. I try to understand how to make sense of and theorize what is going on around the world. My current research projects are on migration, and comparative study of women's empowerment. I dabble in many areas. One of my teachers once said: sociology is a discipline without portfolio and I found that to have mirrored exactly what I always believed.
I teach sociology in an inter-disiplinary department called Humanities and Social Sciences. In recent semesters, I have taught courses on "Comparative Sociology", "Women, Society and Politics" and "Culture, Identity, and Globlaization". My students took keen interest in these subjects and wanted more sociology courses.
Social sciences - especially, sociology , ironically, is slowly making inroads into this part of the world. I say, ironically, because Ibn Khaldun, the founder of sociology was born in this part of the world in the MENA region (Tunis, to be exact) in 1332 and founded the discipline of sociology among his other contributions.
Hey there,
I love how passionate you are about your field! Sociology is very interesting. I took very diverse courses in Sociology. My favorite were gender and power in development and race and ethnic relations. I also liked the research methods and the social theory courses! Honestly, I disliked the statistics course, SPSS is not my thing:( I would love to take a class with you.
How do you gather your syllabus material? Did you focus on a specific region in "women, society and politics"?
I'm happy social sciences are becoming more popular in the MENA region. Yes, Ibn Khaldun was from this region:) I enjoyed reading his writings in my social theory class.
http://www.umbc.edu/cwit/syl_wmst.html ) this link leads you to gender studies courses from different universities, you might find many sociology courses related to women's studies etc.. I think you will find it interesting:)
Also, are most of your students female? My sociology classes usually included one or two guys!
Best wishes, Kizzie
Hi Habib,
We are so excited that you have found our community and joined the voices of women from around the world! I love your vision for the future - "A peaceful world with smiles on the faces of all." It looks like you have already dived into the incredible journal entries of our members. Yes - Sunita is a shining light for the future of Nepal and the future of women around the world. She is one of our Correspondents and I encourage you to learn about World Pulse's Voices of Our Future program.
We are also so eager to hear from you! As a sociologist in the Middle East, I'm sure you have incredible insight to share. The best way to communicate and share your voice is to write in your journal, read the journals of fellow members and offer comments, or join a group and share in the dialogue by contributing to the group journal. If you're looking to connect with anyone in particular, please let me know and I can direct you to members with specialties in numerous subjects and causes.
Warm regards, Jade
Thanks Jade for your warm reply. Since I teach at a women's university, I take a keen interest in the broader issues affecting the progress of women. I am only beginning to learn about this fascinating place. By interacting with young women at my university and my meeting with their counterparts in this region through conferences such as "Women as Global Leaders" which my university has sponsored in recent years, I am optimistic about the changes taking place in this region. I will be happy to share of two cents worth given the opportunity.
Warm regards,
Dear Victoria:
I am glad that you liked the title of my journal. I should have added a "lazy" before unknown. I may not write as frequently as I should. But I will try. Now that I know there are people who may want to read my musings I migh actually end up writing something.
All the best to you and the fellow members.
I just read that you teach at a women's university:) Sorry for my last question.

– Cinderella Silhouettes, Doily Decorations & White Doves
PARTY DETAILS, as told by Morgann…
Cinderella's Bibbity Bobbity Boutique I found a wonderful salon for Adisten's party, My Blow La. I knew as soon as I walked into the salon that it's white, modern interior would be perfect!
As the little girls arrived at the salon, they were greeted with Cinderella tutus, dress-up aprons, and Cinderella "slippers" to change into as they got ready for the "Royal Ball."
Once the girls were dressed, they headed over to their hair stations to get their hair done!
After their hair was curled, they headed over to the "Bibbity Bobbity Boutique" table where they accessorized with Cinderella rings, chunky beaded necklaces, body glitter, and sparkly lip gloss.

He met with Detroit's european scout Håkan Andersson on tuesday:
Although it says Glen Sather wants him to go to New york on monday to get to know the club better... hmmmmmmmm
" Money doesn't mean anything. I wanna go to a club that can have patience with me and believes in me. Best for me if I get a proposal where they show they believe in me."

I agree. He may get to start immediately in a place like New York, but he'll also be thrown under the bus if his transition isn't perfect there and he would know that. If I were him, in all honesty, I'd take the year in Grand Rapids to go to a team that is patient with its players and lets them develop without threatening to trade them or expecting them to be the savior immediately. In the Rangers he'd be as good as gone if he struggled.

I understand that there is quite a bit of pushback regarding his size and the precedence of "soft Euro", but I fail to see how that is even remotely an issue with Detroit Red Wings fans. This team has an incredibly long history of drafting or acquiring players who have been considered "soft Euros", and not only has it turned out to be savvy and prophetic to the point were we are the envy of almost every other front office - this philosophical approach to player development has directly led us to multiple Stanley Cups.
There are Three points that critics have failed to realize: Available Opportunities to Acquire Talent, the Red Wings Style of Play, and the Detroit Philosophy of Player Development.
1) Available Opportunities to Acquire Talent
The Red Wings have made the playoffs 18 consecutive seasons in a row and often (as in the 90's) have traded fringe prospects and future draft picks to make trade line acquisitions to provide any missing role that they believe will be necessary come playoff time. The quickest and easiest way to rebuild a franchise is to burn mid level talent for prospects and draft picks. The Red Wings haven't done this for nearly TWO decades. So they do not have the development process of an Atlanta or mid 2000's St Louis: massive collection of quality draft picks and a slew of prospects in return for their aging stars. This type of acquisition combined with two to three poor seasons and a high draft picks result in a strong core of under 25 players to build around (see Washington Capitals, Pittsburgh Penguins, St. Louis Blues, Colorado Avalanche, and the LA Kings). All of these franchises have peaked, fallen and come back due to a series of top 10 picks from poor seasons, and trading away key players for more prospects and picks.
The Red Wings last Top 10 draft pick - #10 Martin Lapointe in 1991.
The Wings would love to land someone with size and skill, unfortunately those players are incredibly rare. Total physical packages who combine size with sound skating, and NHL level skill are long gone before the Wings have an opportunity to draft them: Ryan Getlaf, Bobby Ryan, Andrew Ladd, Chris Stewart - all highly touted prospects with size - all gone well before Detroit had an opportunity to take them.
North American scouting (America and Canada) are very well entrenched and far more difficult to secure a "steal" as most teams have incredible scouting networks and all 30 teams covet size, strength, and skill. That forces the Red Wings to turn to more creative solutions to fulfil their needs. The Red Wings typically turn to European markets were there is far less coverage than the North American markets, and there is the added benefit of organizational bias against European weakness, translation to the physical North American game, cultural barriers, etc. There is far more opportunity for them to secure a player who has high end potential in Europe than they do "sneaking" one by here in the States.
2) The Red Wing Style of Play
The Red Wings play puck possession hockey. This requires a certain level of acumen, skill, and style. It is an incredibly difficult system to learn and successfully execute. Hence, there is only 1 true puck possession team out there. Certain elements may be adopted by teams on certain lines, but the Wings are the only team that adhere to it from the top to the bottom of their lineup. The Capitals utilize a fast transition past through the neutral zone and an overload for one timers, the Blackhawks allow for puck carry and speed into a high cycle. Those are the two most highly skilled teams in the league and neither have the patience or timing to try puck possession. Watching Federov play in that system two seasons ago was almost comical as he would pull back for a regroup and have no support as the rest of the Capitals were long gone into the offensive zone. I'm not saying that they are incapable, it just does not suit their particular talent or system and have choosen other routes of play. The other teams in the league implement so form of dump and chase, or crash the net. The Penguins and the Canucks are the closet in style to the Wings and again, neither take it to the level that Detroit does.
So why is this important? Two reasons:
1) The Puck Possession style of play is a European style - they lack the physicality of North American players, they have larger rinks that allow them more space to play and they are trained from a young age to be patient and spacially aware.
2) It takes a particular skill set to play in the puck possession system. This is relevant as it goes back to the available draft picks for the Red Wings. Are there North American Player capable of playing in this system? Absolutely. Are their big physical players who can do this? Of course. Are they available at the end of the first round? Hell No. The chance of a legitimate 6'1", 220LBS, smooth skating, pass savvy, Power Forward at the 25th spot of the draft are absolutely next to zero. Actaully, any player with just that type of size after the first round often has a serious flaw that cause size crazy GM's (Brian Burke I'm looking towards you) to balk at them. Normally it's skating or incredibly poor hands, and even then those players are drafted in the 2nd or 3rd rounds. There are outcries that we don't have a Brendan Shanahan-type player - Shanahan was 2nd overall when he was drafted.
So the Wings choose to draft players that reasonably demonstrate qualities that they determine to be essential, have some level of developmental upside, and most likely have some type of obvious flaw to their game that scared other teams away and Detroit believes it can address.
3)Detroit Philosophy of Player Development
So the Wings have a poor opportunity to secure top flight talent and need to work with whatever they can get they can acquire. This is often either players who lack ideal size (Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Hudler, Filppula), late blooming talent (Franzen), or technical inexperience (Jonathan Ericsson). Regardless of position, size, or speed - the Red Wings select players based upon Hockey Intelligence. Every player they select demonstrates this attribute as Detroit has determined those to be the essential characteristic for this system and can often trump other shortcomings.
The Wings believe that with time, careful tutelage, and overexposure that the prospect has an opportunity to succeed. Physically small is fine as long as they can protect the puck and are not afraid of physical contact - developing the essential core strength to endure boards and traffic is a frequent weakness that is listed amongst the Wings prospects. The time they spend in the AHL allow them to physically grow and develop this - 22 to 25 is a large jump in terms of physical strength when under a tight training regiment. Learning the nuance of defensive style, two way hockey. Even when a forward is brought to the NHL level, regardless of talent - they start as a defensive forward. Datsyuk, Zetterberg, Franzen, and Filppula all began their careers as 4th line players.
The Wings do not have the luxury of taking the "best" ISS prospects every year but if they can take a player with enough natural instincts with a mindful approach to the game, they believe given a long enough time horizon they can shape him into a servicable and defensively responsible player. And if they are lucky - that prospect will develop into a real offensive threat. They don't do this because they only want projects - they do it because it is a necessity with the resources they have available to them and the mental demands of their style of play.
So Mats Zuccarello Aasen is available and a steal. This is exactly the type of prospect the Wings covet and he has already developed naturally in the SEL. Normally the Wings would take a player like him, give him 2-4 years at the Major Junior level and the AHL and hopefully he has the work ethic to learn how to compete against larger and more physical players. However his incredibly small stature was such a large issue that no one took a chance on him and he has played in the SEL and developed on his own and has had incredible success.
He has "Fantastic technical skills and great passing ability. Can finish with ablomb. A magician who can do spectacular things with the puck. Great vision and can man the power play point. Defensively responsible and doesn't mind heavy traffic." This kid has accomplished what every AHL prospect is attempting to do at this very moment, learn how to play defensive hockey, handle the physical rigors of traffic and learn to embrace it, and try to distinguish some type of offensive game. He has done all of those things - in spades. And now he has asked to go to an organization who will patiently work with him to reach his potential.
Seriously? Because he's small - there is opposition to signing him to an ELC and working with what is obviously a genuinely earnest, hardworking, and talented player? At the cost of zero draft pick or prospects? He is what the Red Wings have done with all their prospects but was able to do it without the Red Wings system. There is absolutely no reason why he should not be signed and added to the list of up and coming prospects in the Detroit stable.

" Money doesn't mean anything. I wanna go to a club that can have patience with me and believes in me. Best for me if I get a proposal where they show they believe in me."
Also, I'd like to point out that for MZA to point out that he is looking for a club who will have patience with him should imply his willingness to have patience in that clubs system as well. This kid has a head on his shoulders and seems to be looking for the best fit and the best run franchise out there. From everything I've heard from this kid I'd be shocked if he decides to go anywhere but Detroit because the Wings will provide him with the absolute best chance at success in the NHL.

I thought the exact same thing when I read it. I hope to see him in a winged wheel sweater one day

The Cremyll Ferry, believed to have been operating continuously since 1204, runs from Stonehouse to Cremyll and is often referred to as the historic gateway to South East Cornwall. The current ferry terminus at Cremyll was constructed in the nineteenth century, with the main building using some reclaimed materials from Mount Edgcumbe House. This is sometimes referred to as the Earl's Waiting Room, after the Earl of Mount Edgcumbe. The later turnstile building was built in the 1930s. During World War II, the American troops stationed nearby used Cremyll Quay to load their tanks onto landing craft for the D-Day landings and laid a block path across the surface which is still there today.
Cremyll Quay is owned by Plymouth City and Cornwall Councils and managed on their behalf by the Mount Edgcumbe Joint Committee. The Quay and buildings have recently benefited from a refurbishment thanks to funding from the Heritage Lottery Fund, the Urban Bus Challenge and the two councils. The Earl's Waiting Room, turnstile building and bus shelter have been renovated and the Quay has been tidied and de-cluttered, creating a more welcoming and open environment. Historical information about Cremyll and the Ferry is displayed in the bus shelter and also at Admirals Hard in Stonehouse.
For further information about Cremyll and the Cremyll Ferry, please see the document below.

It is well known that there's plenty to do in Las Vegas. Scratch that—that there's plenty to do in Las Vegas is an understatement. The City of Sin's very existence demands that it stay atop of current trends in entertainment. Some of these trends, however, are as timeless as entertainment itself. Classic art gallery viewing, for example, is among them. The best instance of this can be viewed in Bellagio's Fine Art Gallery.
Planning a trip? Browse Viator's Las Vegas tours, Las Vegas attractions, and Las Vegas travel recommendations.
The Strip doesn't usually beckon images of sipping champagne while wandering through the works of some of the world's most venerated artists, but this is exactly what Bellagio's designers had in mind when they constructed the Bellagio Art Gallery. Definitely an activity for the art lover, the museum collection is small, but potent. Exhibits include visiting exhibits (currently Claude Monet: Impressions of Light) and permanent collections, while in the entrance to the Bellagio lies a hanging sculpture by famed glassblower Dale Chihuly.
Not just a rich-man's collection, the museum actively participates with other museums to continually offer visitors something new to see and experience. If you're bored with the usual offerings of Las Vegas, consider the museum scene a great way to explore the extraordinary.
Both a visual and mental experience, the Bellagio Art Gallery should be on any art-lovers list.

The man's yard was green, but those plants was a different kind of grass.
Allentown police were called to the 100 block of Tilghman Street for a report of a domestic assault around 6 p.m. Tuesday, but officers found something else entirely in the back yard.
Police said they found more than 200 marijuana plants growing in the backyard of 48-year-old Fayez Dayoub.
The plants, visible from the street, ranged in size from one foot to eight feet tall.
Dayoub was charged with manufacture, delivery or possession with intent to manufacture or deliver and related charges. He was committed to Lehigh County Prison on $50,000 bail.

Adam Rittenberg (11:59 AM)
Hey guys, welcome to this special edition of my chat. Big Ten regular-season play is in the books, but there's still plenty to discuss. Let's get it going.
Matt, State College PA
Don't you feel that the sharing of the Big Ten title is a little moronic? Two times now Penn St. has had to "share" the title with a team they beat. Why should Ohio St. get to claim they've won a share of the title for 4 straight years when they lost to their "co-champions" twice?
Adam Rittenberg (12:00 PM)
I've never liked the co-champions thing, especially when there is a head-to-head matchup to determine the real winner. But as long as the Big Ten goes without a championships, which could be a very long time, this is the way it is. But most people know Penn State won the league this year.
Bret, Arizona
Your friends over at the Heisman chat (http://proxy.espn.go.com/chat/chatESPN?event_id=23847) have Greene picked 9th in the Heisman race. What are your thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:00 PM)
I voted him fourth in my Heisman Watch list this week, behind McCoy, Bradford and Harrell. Most of the country hasn't seen Greene play much, which kills him in terms of hype.
Adam Rittenberg (12:01 PM)
John, Besancon, France.
How do you think the bowl season will play out for the Big Ten? I like the possibility of an Oregon State-Penn State rematch. Forget what happened earlier in the season, the Beavers are a different team right now. Of course I'll be rooting for the Lions if in fact the Beavers make it to the Rose Bowl.
Adam Rittenberg (12:02 PM)
How's it going over there, John? Always nice to hear from my readers across the pond. You're in the minority about a Penn State-Oregon State rematch. Most people don't want to see it. But I do think it'll be a better game. The Big Ten could do alright in the bowl season, depending on the matchups.
Alan (Washington, DC)
I'm a big Shonn Greene fan, but he has two major weaknesses no one is talking about: lack of pass catching ability and poor blocking. I think these two weaknesses prevent him from being a 1st round draft pick. Thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:03 PM)
That's an interesting take, Alan, but I think NFL teams will look at his size and strength as a runner and live with his lack of pass-catching skills. I don't know how much Iowa looked at him to do that, though. Pass blocking will be a key area for Greene going forward.
Ben MI
Does Ohio State really deserve a BCS game? They lost to the two best teams they played and don't have any real quality wins.
Adam Rittenberg (12:04 PM)
There's certainly two arguments there. But Ohio State looked awfully good down the stretch. I think the Buckeyes would be a lot more fun to watch in a BCS bowl than some of the teams that will get berths.
Mike (Sunnyvale, CA)
Adam, What do you feel about the "two more wins" rule in the bowl selection process for the Big Ten bowl tie-ins? Northwestern (9-3) beat Iowa (8-4) in the regular season and has a better record overall. Yet, all the bowl prediction pundits (correctly) predict that Iowa will pass Northwestern in bowl selection preference, because Iowa "travels well" and has a larger fan base. It's true that Iowa finished the season very strong, and they definitely deserve the best bowl that they can lobby for. But the Wildcats easily had at least as impressive of a season, and with a stronger record to boot. How can a nacsent program like Northwestern's ever grow in prestige and popularity if the current bowl selection rules allow this kind of inequity? Is the "two more wins" rule too liberal in allowing bowls to make their selections? Thanks for your thoughts and for your blog throughout the season. It's definitely made my lunch breaks a lot more enjoyable. =)
Adam Rittenberg (12:07 PM)
Well, in that case, only one win separates Iowa and Northwestern. I would say it's likely the Hawkeyes leapfrog the Wildcats. The key for Northwestern is finding ways to better fill its stadium. It's not easy having a small alumni base in Chicago, a pro sports town. Northwestern can talk all it wants about how well it travels, but when bowl reps see empty seats in Evanston, it's hard to buy in. As for the bowl rules, I think the two-more-wins rule is absurd. A 7-5 team should never go to a Jan. 1 bowl, and it doesn't look good for the league when an 8-4 squad plays on New Year's Day either.
Franklin (Ft. Stewart, Ga)
What do you think the chances are that the Big Ten will pick up another team in the next 5-10 years. I think that the Big East has a few teams that would fit nicely into a Big Ten, east-west conference. I also think that if the Big Ten wants to be noticed as a BCS powerhouse they need a actual championship game.
Adam Rittenberg (12:08 PM)
I'd say it's more likely in the 5- to 10-year window than in the next five seasons. Jim Delany probably has five more years left as commissioner, and I don't think he's looking to expand. You never know, though. I'd say it's more likely to see a 12th team sometime after 2013.
Shea (Pittsburgh, Pa)
With LeSean McCoy stating he intends on coming back to Pitt next year, where do you rank him in the heisman race and the Pitt football team for next year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:08 PM)
He's up there, Shea, especially if both Shonn Greene and Beanie Wells go pro a year early. If that happens, McCoy will be the premier running back in the country next season.
Fred, State College
How important is it for the Big Ten to have a good showing this bowl season for the teams with National Championship aspirations next year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:10 PM)
It's critical, Fred. The Big Ten never should have its champion, a team that dominated most of the season, ranked No. 8 in the BCS standings. Totally unacceptable. Penn State was largely doomed by the last two bowl seasons. The Big Ten must perform better to give its champion a better shot in 2009.
Zach (A2)
Hey Adam, I heard a ridiculous rumor that I was hoping you could debunk. Mark May was claiming that he's heard through the grapevine, RichRod could be headed to Tenn or Clemson, pure ridicularity, right?
Adam Rittenberg (12:10 PM)
Anything can happen, Zach, but I'd say Rich leaving Michigan is highly unlikely. If he leaves now, it will forever stain his career that he couldn't get it done at one of the nation's premier programs. It would be a terrible move, if you ask me.
Stephen (Knoxville, TN)
Adam finish the sentence. Brian Kelly will... A) be coaching at Tennessee next year, B) be coaching at Notre Dame assuming the job opens, C) stay at Cincinatti.
Adam Rittenberg (12:11 PM)
Sorry Bearcats fans, but it will be A or B. Probably A.
tim (DC)
How do you see next year shaping up? Ohio State at the top?
Adam Rittenberg (12:11 PM)
The Buckeyes have a lot of guys to replace on defense, but they'll be up there along with Penn State and Iowa.
Gary (ATL)
GO DUCKS! A PSU-OrSU rematch is a no win matchup for PSU. Win the game, and it was expected, no big deal. Lose the game, and continue to add to the B10 image. The only win that will help, which I believe it could happen based on PSU's speed, is a win over USC. Thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:13 PM)
I agree in part, Gary, but look at it this way. The Big Ten hasn't won the Rose Bowl since Wisconsin on Jan. 1, 2000. That's a really long time. A Rose Bowl win no matter who it's against will help, especially if the Big Ten can win its Florida bowls as well. A 3-1, 3-0 or 4-0 record on Jan. 1 or later would really help the league going forward.
John (Akron, OH)
Adam, do you think Charlie Weis is fired unless he pulls off a miracle against USC?
Adam Rittenberg (12:14 PM)
I'm not sure. As the Chicago Tribune reported today, his buyout isn't as big a factor as everyone makes it out to be. The bigger question is whether Notre Dame wants another coaching change. That program hasn't had much continuity, and if there isn't an obvious guy they want, it might be best to give Weis another year. Then again, if he's lost the team, which is very possible, he's got to go.
Matt, State College PA
Everyone knows JoePa isn't going anywhere anytime soon. But his son and QB coach, Jay, has a golden opportunity to take up a head coaching position at one of the various vacancies around the country. Jay has been the most criticized of all Joe's current staff, so do you think he'll strike while the iron is hot or stick around another season? Who would take over for Jay if he does leave?
Adam Rittenberg (12:15 PM)
Jay Paterno should get some consideration for a non-BCS head-coaching job, maybe a place like Toledo or Eastern Michigan. With Tom Bradley likely in line to succeed Joe, I think it'd benefit Jay to look elsewhere. Not sure who would replace him at PSU.
Joe, Philadelphia
I am not sure why voters love Texas Tech so much. We were seconds away from an undefeated season and they were 44 points away! I understand if they see the Big Ten as being "down"..but its ridiculous to me that they are ranked ahead of PSU and no one on ESPN is talking about it! PSU shows up in bowl games, they shouldn't be taking heat brought to the big 10 by OSU.. What do you think could change that?
Adam Rittenberg (12:16 PM)
They should absolutely not be ranked ahead of Penn State. A team that plays that poorly in such a showcase game deserves a swift kick down the rankings. Penn State had a 1-point road loss. Texas Tech wasn't close to being competitive.
Mark Dantonio (East Lansing, MI)
Who will be taking snaps for me next fall, Nichols or Cousins?
Adam Rittenberg (12:17 PM)
Great question Mark. That's why you get paid the big bucks to decide. Cousins certainly showed some encouraging sings this fall in relief of Hoyer, but Nichol will be right in the mix as well. It should be a fascinating competition, one of the Big Ten's best next summer.
John (SLC)
If Urban Meyer wins another championship with Florida this year...would he move to ND to see if he can resurrect the beast?
Adam Rittenberg (12:18 PM)
Why? What's the point? He's got a great situation at Florida, a better recruiting base down there, a strong conference. Unless he's a masochist, he should stay in Gainesville.
John (NYC)
If you were an AD and you could hire any current coach from the Big Ten to build your team, who would you take?
Adam Rittenberg (12:19 PM)
It depends on the situation, but Mark Dantonio would probably be my pick. He brings the right combination of discipline, passion and recruiting ability.
Clark San Fransico
Do you think Obama is going to be able to get a play off system going? Obviously the Bcs is not working on one side of the coin we have Boise State over OU on the other side of the coin we have Hawaii getting crushed by UG.
Adam Rittenberg (12:20 PM)
It will be interesting to see how much influence Obama can have. As a playoff advocate, I'd love to see him force the school presidents to implement something most college football fans want. But it won't be easy, as we've seen thus far.
Bradford (Boise, ID)
Adam, what are your thoughts on the possibility of Boise State being left out of the BCS? Do you think its "fair"?
Adam Rittenberg (12:21 PM)
It's tough to say, Bradford. Boise State did all it could do on the one hand, but the Mountain West is far more deserving than the WAC this year. It's not the Broncos' fault that the WAC is weak, but it is. If I were Boise State, I'd try to join the Mountain West so this problem doesn't happen again.
Mike (NJ)
Will the Ohio State's bowl game be Beanie Wells last as a Buckeye?
Adam Rittenberg (12:22 PM)
I think so, barring further injury. Beanie might want to come back for a run at the Heisman, but he'll be projected as a first-round draft pick and the first running back taken. Hard to turn down such an opportunity.
Adam Phoenix AZ
Adam, If Shonn Greene goes pro like we expect, should we really expect to see a drop off in Iowa's run game next year? They return most of the o-line and Jewell Hampton has proved that he is an ideal replacement when he has played this year...
Adam Rittenberg (12:24 PM)
Hampton is a solid player, and though you can't expect a Greene-like year, Iowa should be fine at RB in 2009. The biggest key for Iowa is the continued development of QB Ricky Stanzi and finding ways to replace standout defensive tackles Mitch King and Matt Kroul. King will be a major, major loss, mark my words.
Steiny (NYC)
Who has a better chance to win the Bednarik Award. Maybin or Laurinaitis?
Adam Rittenberg (12:25 PM)
I'd hope it's Maybin, but the media is so in love with Laurinaitis and his back story that it might be tough. Nothing against Laurinaitis, but he was the Big Ten's third-best defensive player this year, behind both Maybin and Iowa's Mitch King. So it's tough to tell. My hunch is Laurinaitis will get it.
Mike (Des Moines, IA)
Hey Adam, just read your position rankings. Do you think Iowa's derrell johnson koulianos has turned the corner? He was not living up to the hype earlier in the year but suddenly during the Penn State game he turned it on, and put up 181 on Minnesota. What can Iowa look forward to in the future with this kid?
Adam Rittenberg (12:26 PM)
DJK did a really nice job in the second half, beginning with the Penn State game. He'll definitely be one of Ricky Stanzi's top targets next fall. I'm looking forward to doing more on him, since I hear he's quite a character.
Steiny (NYC)
Do you think former Minnesota offensive line coach Phil Meyer can land a coaching job somewhere?
Adam Rittenberg (12:27 PM)
I think so. But Tim Brewster needed to make a move there, and Tim Davis from Alabama seems like an excellent choice.
Don (Atlanta)
What's the probability that OSU will play UGA in a bowl? (Maybe Capital One Bowl?)
Adam Rittenberg (12:28 PM)
That's pretty likely. But if Oregon State loses, Ohio State is probably going to a BCS game. Georgia won't be. But a Capital One matchup pairing preseason No. 1 vs. No. 2 would be fun to watch.
Dave (Des Moines, IA)
Hey Adam - have you heard anything about former Iowa starter Jake Christensen jumping ship? He is a stand up guy and has taken his de-motion well - always encouraging Stanzi. But still, I wouldn't be suprised if he left. Thoughts?
Adam Rittenberg (12:29 PM)
It wouldn't surprise me at all if Christensen left. Ferentz sort of addressed it last week, saying they would discuss options at some point. But Stanzi will be the quarterback for the next two years, so Christensen might want to look elsewhere (FCS school perhaps).
Aaron: (Dallas, TX)
With Royster being only a sophomore this year, do you see him getting more carries in his junior year and becoming one of the premier backs. Also, will Penn State's poor schedule next year hurt them as much next year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:30 PM)
Let's start with your second question. Penn State's non-con schedule is terrible in 2009, and it could hurt the Lions if the Big Ten isn't stronger. It's why a good bowl season this year and an improved national reputation is so critical heading into 2009.
UJ (Detroit)
So is Minnesota the 7-1 team that began the year beating no one...or are they really a fraud like we saw at year's end in going 0-4 and getting blown out by Michigan and Iowa?
Adam Rittenberg (12:31 PM)
Minnesota is a team that survived on opportunistic play for eight games. The Gophers' offensive line was a major weakness that got exposed in the final four weeks. It's somewhat amazing Minnesota won seven games with that offensive line. So I'd say it's a mix. Opportunistic defense, good QB (Adam Weber) but some serious weaknesses as well.
Jackson (IA)
Hey Adam...rumor has it that Iowa may jump Northwestern and MSU in bowl position. Not only do Northwestern and MSU have better records, but they've both played tOSU (which essentially makes their schedule tougher) AND they both beat Iowa head to head! Yeah, the bowl system is fine...
Adam Rittenberg (12:32 PM)
It's not supposed to be a fair system. It's about money and nothing else. I agree in part about the scheduling, though Iowa played a tougher non-con schedule than Northwestern this season.
Dwight (Scranton, PA)
How about an early look at your top 5 for the Big-10 in 2009?
Adam Rittenberg (12:33 PM)
If this is a real Dwight from Scranton, that's awesome. I forgot to TiVo The Office last week. ... Anyway, I'd go with: 1. Penn State 2. Ohio State 3. Iowa 4. Michigan State 5. Wisconsin or Northwestern
Kirk Ferentz (Iowa City, IA)
Adam,what are your thoughts on my Redshirt Freshman Tyler Sash? Could he be the core of my defense the next 2-3 years? (Maybe the best kept secret in Iowa the last few years)
Adam Rittenberg (12:34 PM)
He's real good, Kirk. Actually, your secondary is real good, something I didn't realize until the end of the season. Amari Spievey had an excellent season, and Brent Greenwood is a solid young safety.
Brutus (Columbus, OH)
Do you think Jim Tressel will eventually overshadow Woody Hayes?
Adam Rittenberg (12:35 PM)
Maybe in on-field success, but Tressel lacks the personality Hayes had. He won't be the same type of iconic figure for Ohio State and college football fans.
Paul (Hollywood, Fl)
Who will win the National Title? Straight up.....
Adam Rittenberg (12:35 PM)
Jay (Pawleys Island, SC)
Hey Adam - I know the Big 10 has taken some hits for being weak. What about the Big 12 -- the only top 40 teams they play are themselves. Everyone else is Buffalo, Eastern Mich, N. Dakota St. etc. I see they are play well but why all the adoration? Big numbers are all relative. Play some tougher out of Conference opponents.
Adam Rittenberg (12:37 PM)
Every BCS league except the Pac-10 and maybe the ACC plays terrible non-conference schedules. The Big 12 is adored because people love quarterbacks and big plays and offense more than anything. It's fun football to watch. But the nonconference schedules between the Big Ten, SEC and Big 12 are pretty similar in weakness.
Nate State College Pa
Adam, I have been hearing this since the Iowa loss, Can Penn State still make the BCS Title game, Is it Possible ?
Adam Rittenberg (12:38 PM)
It's highly unlikely, Nate. You would need Florida to lost to Florida State, Alabama to lose to Auburn, USC to lose again (probably), and Texas probably to lose to A&M. Too much in the way.
Tony (Ryan,Iowa)
Adam, how would u change your big10 perdiction around if any if Shonn Greene decides to stay and play his final year
Adam Rittenberg (12:39 PM)
I wouldn't. I feel comfortable with Iowa at No. 3 either way. Penn State returns its QB and many of its defensive standouts. Iowa still needs to replace Mitch King, which won't be easy.
Beano Cook (South Bend)
If CW gets pummeled this weekend my courses say he will be gone. Will it be Fitzgerald from NU or that guy at Cinncy? Or do you see another, better, fit?
Adam Rittenberg (12:39 PM)
Hey, Beano. Weis could be gone, but Notre Dame would have to have a good idea of who it wanted to hire. Fitzgerald won't be going anywhere. He'll be at Northwestern forever. Brian Kelly, on the other hand ...
Mike, so cal
adam, notre dame is terrible, so is the little 10, and so are you.
Adam Rittenberg (12:40 PM)
Thanks, Mike. Happy Thanksgiving!
Willie (Evanston, IL)
Does NU Def. Coordinator Mike Hankwitz deserve the Assistant Coach of the Year award? Talk about a turn-around...they dropped from 31 ppg to 19.3, and led the Big Ten in sacks!
Adam Rittenberg (12:41 PM)
Without question, Willie. Northwestern's hire of Hankwitz was by far the best coaching move of the offseason. He transformed that defense from arguably the worst in the conference to one of the best in one season.
Tommy ( Austin, TX)
Do you think Texas Tech can duplicate this season over the next couple years, or will we be back to a conisitant 9-3 or 8-4 team?
Adam Rittenberg (12:42 PM)
A lot depends on coaching. Will Mike Leach leave? If he does, there could be some bumps during a transition period. If Leach stays, I could see tech staying around 8-10 wins the next few years.
Patrick (Washington, DC)
Adam, are you going to a bowl game this year?
Adam Rittenberg (12:42 PM)
Several, I hope.
Jake (San Diego)
With the reshuffling of the Big East and ACC, bo you think one (or both) should lose their automatic BCS bid? Maybe adjust the auto-bids from year to year, based on Conference SOS? That might also help encourage teams to lay off the FCS schools...
Adam Rittenberg (12:44 PM)
It's tough to say. Not too long ago the Big East had three or four top 10 teams. But for the second time in five years, the Big East will send a team to a BCS game that probably doesn't deserve to be there. I'd love to see the Mountain West get an automatic berth, but it's unlikely the system will change much.
Keith (The Boro)
Ok, so we know how Terrelle Pryor's first year at Columbus went...10-2 and pretty gud for true freshmen How do u see his last three years at OSU...National Title, Heisman, maybe best QB in big ten.."EVER"? wats ur take??
Adam Rittenberg (12:45 PM)
He could be real good, Keith. Next year will be interesting if Beanie Wells leaves for the NFL. But the offensive line should be better, and Pryor is so dangerous on the move. He'll be in the Heisman mix as a junior in 2010.
Rob (Australia)
Adam, I've heard USC doesn't want to play in the rose bowl. Perhaps they are afraid of PSU. JoePa has a decent record against them I believe, and they know PSU would be the best team they played all year. Maybe thats why mike was so vengeful towards you and the B11.
Adam Rittenberg (12:46 PM)
How's it going down under? I don't think USC is afraid of anyone. The Trojans think they can win the national title game, though it's unlikely they get there. But Penn State-USC would be a pretty solid matchup in Pasadena.
jon (dubuque,ia)
why didn't the hawkeye defensive backs get any love in the all-big ten teams?
Adam Rittenberg (12:48 PM)
Amari Spievey was named second-team All-Big Ten by the coaches. Bradley Fletcher and Brent Greenwood earned honorable mention. So there was some recognition. Again, the four losses really hurt Iowa, even with the way the Hawkeyes finished.
JD, Dallas
Would Lane Kiffin be a good hire for Tennessee?
Adam Rittenberg (12:48 PM)
I think so. He's got some ties to that area and the biggest thing Tennessee wants is a young, energetic, recruiter-type. Kiffin fits the mold.
Cosmo (Anytown, USA)
Assuming Notre Dame loses to USC, do you think they accept a bid to a lesser known December bowl game?
Adam Rittenberg (12:49 PM)
It might depend on final exams. If the bowl trip was too early and conflicted with finals, Notre Dame might not accept. If it's the Sun Bowl, Notre Dame would be foolish not to accept.
Dan - San Jose
Correct me if I am wrong, but Utah is undefeated and has won at Michigan (when they were actually relevant), vs. Oregon State, vs. TCU, and vs. BYU...and they will not get an opportunity to play for a Championship? This is stupid. Why does any team that's not in the priviledged conferences even bother?
Adam Rittenberg (12:51 PM)
It's too bad, but Utah still gets a ton of exposure and money for playing in a BCS bowl. It's a great event for non-BCS teams and their fans. There should be an avenue to play for the national championship, but the current system does have some rewards for non-BCS squads.
Nick (Salt Lake City)
Adam, going back 4-5 questions, you kidding me right? You will lose total credibility if you think at this point of the season that USC will lose to the two pathertic "JC" teams left on their schedule.
Adam Rittenberg (12:52 PM)
He was asking me what it would take for Penn State to get in the title game. I told him it was extremely unlikely and listed a USC loss as one of the things Penn State would need to happen.
J.B. (Dunmore, PA)
It is a shame that we may not get to see USC v PSU. I think the two teams match up very well. If they did match up though, do you think USC might pull an Oklahoma and not be as well prepared because they were too busy whining about not being invited to the title game?
Adam Rittenberg (12:52 PM)
It's awfully hard to bet against USC in the Rose Bowl. Pete Carroll's teams are always prepared for those games.
Nick- Miami
Does FSU stand a chance?
Adam Rittenberg (12:53 PM)
The 'Noles need to attack down the field and score first. And the defense will need to play out of its mind to contain Florida. Don't see it happening.
Justin (NY, NY)
Regardless of their performance against Oklahoma and where they should be "ranked", you don't really think Penn State could compete with Texas Tech on a neutral field, do you?
Adam Rittenberg (12:54 PM)
It would be a game, Justin. Tech's defense was a joke last Saturday, and Penn State can stretch the field, last I checked.
Adam Rittenberg (12:55 PM)
OK guys, that's all the time I've got. Happy Thanksgiving and I'll talk to you next week!

GADSDEN, Alabama -- An Attalla man received a 20 year sentence Tuesday in connection with robbery charges stemming from a home invasion last year.
Allen C. Whitmore, 43, pleaded guilty to robbery charges before Judge Allen Millican, according to a news release from Etowah County District Attorney Jimmie Harp.
Whitmore was arrested last September after authorities said he forced his way into an Attalla residence, assaulted an elderly female victim and then stole her purse, a coin collection and jewelry.
Harp said the sentence "sends a message to those who would prey on innocent victims in their homes."
"A rock solid case was made by the Etowah County Sherriff's Department and the defendant didn't have much of a choice when it got to be time for the case to be brought before the jury," Harp said.
According to the terms of the plea Whitmore waived any right to appeal his conviction.

For some people, owing $11 million in back taxes to the IRS and facing foreclosure may be no laughing matter, but Chris Tucker is not one of them.
In a stand-up performance in Miami recently, the Rush Hour star, 39, cracked a few jokes about his financial struggles.
"That's the last time I let Wesley Snipes help me out with my taxes," Tucker quipped, according to the Miami New Times, referring to the actor whose failure to file returns landed him a three-year prison sentence.
Tucker even used his interactions with bill collectors as fodder for his act.
"They calling you acting like you owe them the money personally!" he said, according to the paper. "I don't owe you s---! This is between me and the company!"
Tucker is also quoted as making a crack about being so bad with money that he bought two houses next to each other and then had to ask neighbors to borrow a cup of sugar.

Component Op() //Probably abstract Add(Component) // Throws an exception by default? Remove(Component) // ditto GetChild?(int) // ditto Leaf inherits from Component Op() // meaningful Add(Component) // not meaningful, use default? Remove(Component) // ditto GetChild?(int) // ditto Composite inherits from Component Op() // Probably meaningful Add(Component) // meaningful Remove(Component) // meaningful GetChild?(int) // meaningfulAlternative:
Leaf Op() // meaningful CompositeLeaf? inherits from Leaf Op() // Probably meaningful Add(Leaf) // meaningful Remove(Leaf) // meaningful GetChild?(int) // meaningfulSo why bother with Component? Lets say I have a function that Op's stuff. It can do it with:
Leaf myLeaf; myLeaf.Op();It will work with either type since a Leaf reference is compatible with a CompositeLeaf?. Similarly, if I have a function that does composite stuff:
CompositeLeaf? myComposite; Leaf newStuff; myComposite.Add(newStuff);If I have a function that attempts to do an add(..) on a non composite Leaf then there will be a static error. So, to do it safely one should do :
Leaf unknownLeaf; if (unknownLeaf instanceof CompositeLeaf?) (CompositeLeaf?) unknownLeaf.Add(newStuff);Using the GoF pattern one swaps static type safety and a cast for some exception handling code. Is this the reason to do it this way? That seems a little odd, and a bit smelly. I'm hoping someone can explain why the normal way of extending stuff is not appropriate. --RichardHenderson
interface Component { void accept( Visitor block ); } class Leaf implements Component { void accept( Visitor block ) { block.visit( this ); } } class Group implements Component { private ArrayList m_children; void accept( Visitor block ) { block.visit( this ); for( Iterator it = m_children.iterator(); it.hasNext() ) ((Component)it.next()).accept( block ); } void add( Component aChild ) {...} void remove( Component aChild ) {...} int count() {...} }And this is usually enough for me. The only polymorphism that *I* need is with the #accept method. I don't usually need to ask a component how many children it has. So I suppose I straddle the fence. I don't like the polymorphism on methods that don't make sense in Component but I also don't like removing Component and making NodeGroup have to replace the #accept behavior of a LeafNode. -- RobertDiFalco
interface Node { Enumeration children(); // and other common methods } class LeafNode? implements Node { public Enumeration children() { return new EmptyEnumeration?(); } } class EmptyEnumeration? implements Enumeration { public boolean hasNextElement() { return false; } public void nextElement() { throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException(); } } class CompositeNode? implements Node { private Vector _children = new Vector(); public Enumeration children() { return _children.elements(); } public addChild( Node child ) { _children.add(child); } public removeChild( Node child ) { _children.remove(child); } }I also often use the Visitor pattern, as described above, to let client code traverse the composite structure and find modifiable nodes. --NatPryce That is more like the GoF, and I don't like it. If a leaf doesn't have structural behaviour, then I think it is better if the interface doesn't give the impression it has structural behaviour. Why bother having children() in the supertype? It might slightly simplify your traversal code, but not by very much. You still need a type test to tell if a node is a leaf node or a branch node. I think this is all based on a misunderstanding of the CompositePattern. You don't put methods like add and remove in the base class - only methods that make sense on atomic things or composites. Atoms implement the methods directly, whereas composites implement them in terms of the operations on their children. For example:
abstract class Investment // the base class { abstract int getValue() ; } class Cash extends Investment // an atom { Account acct ; // Account does what you'd expect int getValue() { return acct.balance() ; } // changeAccountType etc methods go here } class Shares extends Investment // an atom { Company comp ; int number ; int getValue() { Market mkt = Market.getInstance() ; return number * mkt.getShareValue( comp ) ; } // extendHolding and retractHolding etc methods go here } class Portfolio extends Investment // the composite { Set investments ; int getValue() { int value = 0 ; Iterator it = investments.iterator() ; while (it.hasNext()) value += ((Investment)it.next()).getValue() ; return value ; } // addInvestment and removeInvestment etc methods go here }Does this help? -- TomAnderson I completely agree Tom. Yet page 164 of Design Patterns does the opposite. A real head-scratcher for me. Why do such a horrible thing? Do people really think this is a good idea? I do. Of course the pattern is tricky and can be mis-applied. But what the pattern is about is when domain objects are naturally containers of other domain objects, and therefore they have a double function: that of container, and that of domain object. Another condition is that their property of being a container influences directly how they perform as domain objects. However, real life situation where these conditions are met are rare, and thus the pattern should be applied with caution. But it shouldn't be considered harmful. If you look at the GoF examples,they don't talk in terms of Node and Leaf, they talk in terms of domain objects. By the way, I generaslly don't see why Node and Leaf should ever be distinct classe. For example: every Swing component is also a Container , and its essential paint(Graphics g) method depends on it being aware of its children and having access to them. Thus it has both the proper methods of any component, and the methods of java.awt.Container. Your example with an abstract Node and Leaf and CompositeNode? is really not a good example for the pattern, nor is it a good example. Because if something is a Node or a Leaf is something that varies at runtime: it may have children or it may not have children. Then why in the world, do you want to ditinguish between Leaf and Nodes? -- CostinCozianu Because you'll have to. In the book, it is claimed that the reason to promote the structural interface into the supertype is for 'transparency', so that clients can 'treat all objects in the composite uniformly'. If it were the case that all objects could contain other objects, then I would agree with you, and indeed we'd only need a single supertype. That is not, however, the contention of the book. They admit that they are breaking OO convention. They admit what they are doing is unsafe. What they don't do is give a reason for breaking these conventions. Transparency would only be true if you could truly treat the objects the same, but you can't. Consider your clients. You've got clients that manipulate/navigate the structure, and you've got clients that call the other (Leaf) operations. I have no problem with putting the Leaf methods in the supertype. The add() operation is meaningful to both. Clients of the former functionality must deal with both structured objects and Leaf objects. That transparent interface gains them nothing if they must code to handle exceptions, or code to determine the specific subtype. The presence of the structure methods gains them nothing. Therefore, for me, there is no good reason to put them in the supertype. So, the natural class hierarchy is the correct OO one IMO. Factor the common functionality into the supertype. Put the variant functionality into subtypes. In that case, there is no need for a separate Leaf interface as it is the same as the supertype interface. Ok, my mistake. After I checked with the book I see that you are absolutely right. It's always been in my mind that Composite was about hierarchies where everything IS-A container, but now I see that the GoF book advocates erasing the differences between objects that are not containers and objects that are. Well, it should be ConsideredHarmful after all. It doesn't solve any problem, but it creates more. In this case, the real and solution is what you exposed here: creating an explicit abstract type for composuites/containers instead of moving those operations all the way to the root of the hierarchy. -- Costin
interface Node { int count(); } class Leaf implements Node { public int count() { return 1; } } class Group implements Node { public int count() { int total = 1; for( Iterator i = children(); i.hasNext(); ) { total += ((Node)i.next()).count(); } return total; } public Iterator children() ... }
public int countTestCases() { int count= 0; for (Enumeration e= tests(); e.hasMoreElements(); ) { Test test= (Test)e.nextElement(); count= count + test.countTestCases(); } return count; }This is the reason why we need #countTestCases in the Test (i.e. Node) interface. This could be eliminated like so:
class CountTestsVisitor? EmptyVisitor? { int count; public void visit( TestCase tc ) { count += 1; } }Then we can just use it like so:
CountTestsVisitor? counter = new CountTestsVisitor?(); some_testsuite_or_testcase.accept( counter ); System.out.println( "Tests: " + counter.count );In this same way, we can remove all collection like behavior from the root Node interface. -- RobertDiFalco Well, in the same way, we can remove all behaviour from the root Node interface. But that's not the point. Good OO design (IMHO) ends up with operations being provided by those objects that are best able to perform those operations. Therefore, if we need to know how many nodes are in a tree of composites, we should ask the tree, not some other object. The VisitorPattern is useful if you need to extend the operations of a composite object when you cannot change its implementation, and the CompositePattern is useful when you can change its implementation. -- NatPryce Just for the record Nat, do you think the GoF version of composite is a good one? With structural operations which are NOT meaningful to the leaf subtype in the supertype? Actually, you could not remove all behavior from the root Node interface. It would still need the #accept(Visitor) method declared. --RobertDiFalco In practice I don't follow the GoF version of composite "by the book". I think TomAnderson's comments are the most accurate. I put "domain" methods into the supertype (Node interface), some of which may expose some structural information or other DesignBurps. E.g. a method for counting the nodes exposes the fact that the object being queried might contain multiple component objects, the VisitorPattern exposes that there are a predetermined number of subclasses that define important behaviour. However, if possible I prefer to push methods down into the subclasses. Methods for modifying the composite structure belong here. Like RobertDiFalco I find that I often combine the VisitorPattern and CompositePattern, especially if the composite structure must be modified after it has initially been constructed. --NatPryce Excellent. Tom agrees with my thesis, so I'll transitively place you in the 'harmful' gang too. Will anyone defend the GoF composite which explicitly states that the structural modifiers go in a common supertype? Where's number 3? He was arguing with me on my turf not long ago :). --RichardHenderson. I think "harmful" is too strong a judgement. After all, I've used the CompositePattern many, many times, and found it to be very useful. I'd say that from my experience the description in the GangOfFour Book is too strict, but in any case one is not meant to treat the GoF book as dogma -- that goes against the fundamental philosophy of patterns. The intent of the CompositePattern is: Compose objects into tree structures that represent whole-part hierarchies. Composite lets clients treat individual objects and compositions of objects uniformly. A leaf has the same interface as a node. I interpret that to mean that objects and compositions of objects can be used uniformly where that makes sense, and also implement other methods that cannot be used uniformly where necessary. That is, leaf and node have an interface in common, and also have interfaces that are not in common. But then again, I have also used the CompositePattern in designs where all nodes had the ability to contain children, and leaf nodes were just nodes without children, not nodes of any particular type. An example of the CompositePattern where composite nodes and leaf nodes have different types is the Unix directory hieararchy: directories have operations for adding/removing files, but files do not. Furthermore, different leaf nodes can have different types, such as files, pipe endpoints, devices, fifo's etc. An example where composite and leaf nodes have the same type is the window hierarchy in the X Window System: any window can contain other windows, and it is up to the program creating the windows (or more usually a GUI toolkit) as to whether a window is a "container" that can contain other windows or a "control" that does not. --NatPryce
data Tree a = Branch a (Tree a) (Tree a) | TNil data Leaf a = Branch a TNil TNilor, staying more true to the original example:
data Composite a = Comp a [Composite a] | Leaf a addChild :: Composite a -> Composite a -> Composite a -- Because it's purely functional, need to return new state. removeChild :: Composite a -> Composite a getChild :: Composite a -> Int -> Maybe (Composite a)Then make:
addChild (Leaf x) c = Comp x [c] removeChild (Leaf x) = undefined -- Runtime error. Alternately, make it a no-op. getChild _ _ = Nothing -- Not there.Is this smelly? It seems that way at first, but note that doing those operations on the Leaf are *EXACTLY THE SAME* as doing those operations on an empty Composite--either way, you're trying to "get" something nonexistant. This is the GoF way. On second thought, this seems to be more about inheritance. Well, hmm. I can't offer much info there, but I think I may be able to offer a new perspective on the debate. One of you says that Composite should inherit from Leaf. That is, Composite isa Leaf. The other one says that Leaf should inherit from Composite <the usual way>. That is, Leaf isa Composite. Let's rephrase that. The first guy says that you should be able to treat any Composite node as if it were a single object. The other guy says that you should be able to treat a single object as if it were a Composite of one, or a Composite with no children. TBH, what's likely going to happen is that you end up being able to do neither--you write a superclass and then specialize it to the single and composite cases. But here's a halfway-decent example of the first guy's view:
class StrangeNode?[T](private value : T) { def values = value :: Nil } class StrangeComposite?[T](head : T, tail : StrangeNode?[T]) extends StrangeNode?(head) { override def values = head :: tail.values }Unfortunately, there aren't many examples (in my mind) datatypes where "The whole is a part" applies; "The part is a whole" is more common, e.g. a string as an array of strings of length 1, an XML node as a tag and a (possibly empty) list of XML nodes, etc. A parent window, though, is still a window, and should be treated as such. That's likely a good time to use "The whole is a part."

Talking With...Christine Lahti
"He's not finished yet; he's going to kill again," says Seattle police inspector Lindsay Boxer (Tracy Pollan). "You were right, Lindsay," Capt. Chris Raleigh (Gil Bellows) admits a few scenes later. "The bastard's a serial killer."
Ugh, not another one. Given the depressing prevalence of serial killers in all forms of popular fiction, it's appropriate that the prime suspect in this three-hour adaptation of James Patterson's novel is Nicholas Jenks (Robert Patrick), an author who cranks out bestselling tales of murder and more murder.
The slayings here are a tad more gruesome than the TV average, with the camera lingering almost lovingly over the bloody bodies of newlyweds dispatched by blade, bullet and arrow. The police procedure is humdrum, however, and Lindsay's personal dramas—she's falling for Chris, her partner on the case, while fighting a potentially fatal blood disease—seem like mere padding. When the inspector, the medical examiner (Pam Grier), an assistant D.A. (Megan Gallagher) and a cub reporter (Carly Pope) form a "women's murder club" to discuss the evidence, you'll fear 1st to Die is turning into a talk show. The film picks up when Jenks emerges as Lindsay's main quarry. Patrick gives the character a cool malevolence as the plot takes its implausible turns. But it's too long a wait for the knockdown, drag-out fight that brings this particular killing streak to a close.
BOTTOM LINE: Slow death
NBC (Tuesdays 9:30 pm. ET)
Where is David Kelley when you need him? The creator of Ally McBeal and The Practice flopped with his most recent lawyer show, the glossy Girls Club. But Kelley might have been able to make an interesting comedy-drama of this new series about Adam (Scott Foley from Felicity), a rookie assistant United States attorney in Manhattan who has a crush on public defender Susan (Amanda Detmer).
What we get from A.U.S.A. executive producer Richard Appel, a former federal prosecutor, is a mediocre sitcom with a disappointingly low intelligence quotient. It's not just that Foley and Detmer play it too cute, or that Susan spends an inordinate amount of time fraternizing in Adam's workplace, or that the courtroom scenes barely give a nod to reality. The biggest problem is that Adam has knucklehead Owen (Eddie McClintock) for a roommate. In the second episode Adam received a lucrative offer from a private firm in Washington, D.C. I was hoping he'd take the money and run—far away from Owen. Too bad Adam's idealism, which he mentions often, kept him in government service.
BOTTOM LINE: Weak case
Show of the week
PBS (Mon., Feb. 24, 9 p.m. ET)
Near the end of this hour-long American Experience entry, a journalist asserts that the birth-control pill did more for female equality than anything else in the 20th century. A sweeping statement, certainly, but this concise, informative documentary backs it up.
Filmmakers Chana Gazit and David Steward explore the science behind the oral contraceptive, the Catholic Church's adamant opposition to its use, the pill's empowering effects on women freed to enjoy sex and plan motherhood around career pursuits, and the side effects that can make it a danger as well as a boon. Briskly paced, The Pill is a short course that covers the subject admirably.
BOTTOM LINE: Prescribed viewing
Comedy Central (Wednesdays, 10:30 p.m. ET)
In last month's debut of this sketch-comedy series, Dave Chappelle introduced a satire of white supremacists by calling it "probably the wildest thing I've ever done in my career." On the third show he set up a vulgar bit by saying it "made me actually want to spit up." We get it, Dave: This is edgy stuff.
Chappelle's humor ranges from scathing (a fictional reality show called Zapped that takes irresponsibility to new heights) to sub-sophomoric (a parody of It's a Wonderful Life in which a woman sees how the world would be different if she didn't have big breasts). At its best, the show is outrageous and hilarious at once, as in the profile of a blind bigot who doesn't realize he's black. We're willing to tolerate some inconsistency if Chappelle can resist the temptation to congratulate himself on his controversial material.

Saturday, March 1 LET'S MAKE A DEAL NBC (8 p.m. ET) Billy Bush is host for a five-week revival of the wacky game show.
In Open House, a TV movie airing Feb. 16 on CBS, Christine Lahti stars as Samantha Morrow, a housewife forced to take in boarders after her attorney husband walks out during a midlife crisis, leaving her in financial straits. "I would never allow myself to be dependent on a man as Samantha was," says Lahti. "it was a real learning experience to get inside that kind of powerlessness." On the contrary, Lahti, a veteran of films (Running on Empty) and TV (Chicago Hope), says, "I have a partnership with my husband," West Wing director Thomas Schlamme. Even when they go skiing with their three children, the L.A.-based couple, both 52, "are evenly matched," she says. But Lahti refuses to compete with son Wilson, 14, an avid surfer. "I don't think I'll ever get on a board," she says, "unless I have rubber suction cups on my feet." Ulrica Wihlborg
