Discussion in 'Colorado Football Message Board' started by Hugegroove, Jul 30, 2009.
By the way, they didn't include Iowa St. in there poll.
Just FYI you have to scroll down a bit.
misery is currently 2nd in this poll. I guess most of the idots out there just blindly look at last year's records and base their picks on that alone.
ouch we are not even winning in Colorado
Do you think Iowa State was left off on purpose?
Nebraskee is running 85% in Nebraskee. soo-prise.
Who else would they vote for? What did you expect?
I'm kinda embarrassed by that...
It's better to be the underdog. :thumbsup: GO BUFFS!
yikes, even K-State has some votes......GO BUFFS!!!!
there's nearly as many Nebraskan's living in Colorado than in Nebraska also.... Most of the other states are at least reasonably logical when evaluating the home team. I think CU has got some big question marks. KU is a clear favorite but a tough schedule. NU and MU will be decent if their QBs step up - big question marks always with newbies. KSU and ISU have no chance.
I saw some youtube comments from KSU fans the other day arguing that Bill Snyder did it before, why can't he do it again? And they expect the cats to contend for the Big 12 this year. I think kitty fans are in for a big surprise.
In Colorado, CU is at 37% with NU at 38%. I'm going to make sure this is posted at the other sites in hope that we can swing our home state.
If (when?) KSU has a bad season and misses a bowl game, their funding problems are going to get so much worse. That AD is in serious trouble that they may never recover from.
Does anyone on here actually think CU will win the North this year? I certainly hope not. As a homer I would love for that to happen, but realistically I just don't see it. Honestly, the North doesn't even matter, the South will kill anyone from the North, regular season or Conference Title in my opinion.
KU deserves way more love...
I totally see us winning the North this year. The only North team with a better, more experienced QB is Kansas. But our defense is much better. Given our schedule and some homerism confidence in some of our questions getting answered the right way, I would expect every CU fan to go into this season feeling like we have a good shot at winning the division.
Besides KSU and ISU I think anyone can win the North. I can be a homer but even realistically I think the Buffs have a good chance.
I see the Buffs winning the North. Look at the schedule and tell me why we do not have as much of a chance as anyone playing in the North. We have KS, MO, TA&M and NU all at home. If we can take care of home field this year, we have a great chance. Those are all winnable games. Kst and Iowa st are winnable on the road. See what happens at Okie Light....who knows. Texas is probably a lose.
**** yea we can win the North. By the way, we are winning in CO nowl.
I think we have an outside shot, but we'll should have to see more than 13-24 from Hawkins before predicting we WILL win the North.
I don't know about on purpose, but I'm sure the Iowa St. fans are none to happy about it. Although I'm sure they know how bad their team is expected to be. Either way, it's getting dissed, and I wouldn't like it if they left the Buffs out of the poll. :wow:
Hell Yeah we can win the North! We have as much talent as anyone in the B12N, depth maybe not, but we got our big games at home. It is not impossible and very probable.
Dallas here we come! Shoulder to Shoulder!
39% now 8% overall. At least we're carrying the state.
Separate names with a comma.

GREENVILLE, Pa.—Thiel College announced today that David E. Baughman, a Greenville native and life-long resident of the borough who passed away on Nov. 8, 2012, bequeathed $3.7 million to the college.
The gift, the second largest estate gift in Thiel history, will fund the Emerson A. Baughman, Agnes F. Baughman and David E. Baughman Endowed Scholarship, which will bestow full-tuition scholarships each year to attend Thiel College for students from the Greenville, Reynolds, Commodore Perry or Jamestown school districts.
"Dave Baughman had a passion for his community and higher education that is clearly reflected in his many years of community service and his generous gift to Thiel College and others in the community," said Dr. Troy VanAken, Thiel College president. "Several students each year will have their lives changed by Dave's generosity. His faith and support of the transformative power of a Thiel College education is truly inspiring."
Baughman was born in Greenville in 1920 and was a graduate of Penn High School and Grove City College. He was a World War II veteran, serving in the Air Force's 318th Fighter Control Squadron in the Asiatic-Pacific Theater. He was a long-time employee of Greenville Steel Car Co. (1946-1983), retiring as director of personnel. In his retirement, he was very active in community affairs, serving on government and related committees for more than 55 years, including the Greenville Borough Council and the original Greenville Recreation Committee (serving with Charles "Tod" Rissell 1900, the "father of Thiel athletics," and Jack B. Stoeber, Thiel's legendary football coach, athletic director and dean of men). He also was instrumental in building of the first Little League ball field in Greenville (on Alan Avenue) and the Memorial Swimming Pool. He also was involved in the Greenville Library Board, Mercer County Boroughs Association, Greenville Lions Club and many, many others. He was well-known for his love and care of his town and its people.
"Dave wanted to help local students to achieve and fulfill their dreams of an education at Thiel College," said Mario Marini '91, director of special and planned giving, who helped Baughman to set up the fund. "He was very grateful for the college's presence in Greenville."
Baughman bestowed the first scholarship in person on Aug. 23, 2012, to Samuel T. Lackey '14, a Greenville, Pa. native and a Commodore Perry High School graduate who is pursuing a psychology and sociology double major.
Baughman's estate, which includes bequests to other Greenville area organizations as well as Thiel College, is administrated by the Northern Mercer County Community Foundation, which is part of the Community Foundation of Western Pennsylvania and Eastern Ohio.
Students interested in Thiel College and the Baughman scholarship should contact the Thiel College Admissions Office at 724-589-2345 or email@example.com.
Thiel College is a private liberal arts institution founded in the Lutheran tradition. Located in Greenville, Pa., the College offers 60 majors and minors, 25 varsity sports, and an 11:1 student-faculty ratio to more than 900 students. A dedicated faculty paired with dynamic research and internship opportunities produce numerous graduate school and job placements. Coeducational from its beginnings, the College celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2016 and remains committed to combining tradition with innovation.

Socialize AppMakr
Socialize AppMakr provides a code-free environment for building iOS and Android apps, and features its own social network. "I like the quick, easy way to make apps, rather than coding," user Matthew Flaig says. Flaig dislikes that the free version of AppMakr now puts ads in free apps, and simple updates can take weeks or months. (AppMakr also offers a premium, fee-based service.)
Jeremy Caverly of Quotient Concepts also lauded AppMakr. "They were one of the first to market with a DIY solution. It's always been easy to use. The help forums are a great resource, and their staff is always happy to find a solution as quickly as possible," he says, though he laments a dearth of new features in the past year.

set me free
I fall
I break
I mend myself again.
I live in the eternal crevices of my mind, locked in a prison with only my thoughts as company. February is upon my heart, and in it I remain forever. The cold, the gray, the ice of my emotions is frozen over.
I am stuck in my healing. You touch is ever on my heart, your love is ever on my mind. No matter how many times I awaken without you near me, I can never fully let you go.
You are a part of me, and for that I bless and curse you. You, who wounded, tormented, and loved me wholeheartedly. It was you that broke and mended this fractured heart, it was you that tormented and satisfied my soul.
The obsession of my thoughts revolves around you, and I don't have the willpower nor strength to break your hold on me. You are gone, but you live forever in my memory. I am unhealthy with my longing for you the return to me, I don't begrudge that acknowledgement.
But all I want is to be free from your grip. I want to love and miss you, but continue on with my life. How do I let you go? How do I continue on without you? You were my life, and now that you have ceased to exist, I live in another time not so very long ago. A time where you held me, looked onto my innocent face, and whispered those words that both revived and killed me.
I want to be free, but I don't know how. I don't know how and I am trapped in the ever eternal struggle to attain my inescapable chains.
Someone teach me how to break the eternal bindings of yearning for lost love. Because I for one, do not know how. I am weary with the struggle.
Freedom is what I seek.

Buzz for "Twilight" finale, Oscar hopes for "Les Miserables"
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The final installment of "The Twilight Saga" is the most anticipated film this fall, and fans are hoping for Oscar glory for the adaptation of stage musical "Les Miserables", according to a survey by movie going destination website Fandango.
According to the site's 2012 fall film survey released on Monday, "The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2," earned 32 percent of votes for "most anticipated fall movie" and 51 percent of the "best date night movie" votes. The survey polled more than 1,000 moviegoers.
Based on Stephenie Meyer's novels about a young girl's torn affections between a vampire and a werewolf, the "Twilight" film series has grossed $2.5 billion at the global box office to date.
"The 'Twilight' franchise has delivered some of the all-time top advance ticket sellers in Fandango's history, so it's not a huge surprise that moviegoers are most looking forward to the final installment," said Fandango Editor-in-Chief, Chuck Walton. "'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 2' is sure to be one of the biggest blockbusters of the fall season."
"Breaking Dawn Part 2", the fifth movie in the series, will be released on November 16.
If Fandango users were members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, then bring out the gold statuettes for the December release of "Les Miserables," starring Anne Hathaway, Hugh Jackman and Russell Crowe.
The film, an adaptation of the hit stage musical based on Victor Hugo's classic novel, was voted by 49 percent of those questioned as the "film that could sweep the Oscars".
"We caught a glimpse of 'Les Mis' stars Anne Hathaway and Hugh Jackman singing at the Oscars a few years ago, and clearly movie fans liked what they saw and are highly anticipating the film's December release," said Walton.
And who says there is no such thing as bad publicity? Sixty one per cent of those surveyed said that Clint Eastwood's speech to an empty chair at the recent Republican National Convention, made them more interested in seeing the actor-director's upcoming baseball film, "Trouble With Curve".

Timeout as Canadians digest day of terror
By Steve Keating
TORONTO (Reuters) - A National Basketball Association (NBA) pre-season game rarely holds any importance and a meeting between the Toronto Raptors and Maccabi Haifa on Wednesday held even less relevance as Canadians digested a day of terror.
The exhibition contest in Toronto went on but a National Hockey League game in Ottawa between the home-town Senators and Toronto Maple Leafs did not after a morning of gunfire in the Canadian capital left two men dead and a city on edge.
Minutes after a soldier on guard at the National War Memorial was shot and fatally wounded, a suspected gunman was shot dead in the parliament building, prompting police to lock down large sections of the downtown core as they assessed an uncertain threat.
While Canadians were left stunned and shaken by the unfolding events, coaches and players on Maccabi Haifa were respectful but unrattled.
For a team that plays under constant threat of all manner of attack from rockets to suicide bombers, it was business as usual on Wednesday for the Israeli Basketball Super League finalists despite a beefed-up security presence ordered by the NBA.
"I am aware of what happened but in Israel we see stuff like this a lot of times," Maccabi Haifa coach Rami Hadar told Reuters. "I sympathize and hope everything will be ok.
"It was not a shock but coming here it was something less expected.
"We don't feel this in daily life in Israel, it is something that can happen sometimes but we are not affected in our daily work." Continued...

A type inference option is available for a computer programming language.
The option acts as a switch to specify whether or not type inference is
applicable (e.g., on or off). Type inference can be employed in
conjunction with late binding or options therefor. In this manner, a
computer program can be developed with the convenience of type inference
and the flexibility of late binding while still maintaining at a degree
of type safety.
1. A program compilation system, comprising:an identifier component that
identifies compiler options including an inference option associated with
a computer program; andan inference component that infers types as a
function of the inference option.
2. The system of claim 1, the inference option is associated with a project and/or file.
3. The system of claim 1, the inference option identifies one or more applicable syntactic and/or semantic constructs on which the option applies.
4. The system of claim 3, the syntactic and/or semantic constructs are local variables, fields, or properties, result types and/or method parameters.
5. The system of claim 1, the inference option identifies one or more syntactic and/or semantic constructs on which the option is does not apply.
6. The system of claim 1, the identifier component identifies a binding option.
7. The system of claim 6, further comprising a binding component that binds types to objects in accordance with the binding option.
8. The system of claim 7, the inference option and binding option are dependent upon one another.
9. The system of claim 7, the binding component performs late binding when a language root type or special static type is explicitly specified.
10. The system of claim 1, the options are specified in a compiler command line statement.
11. A method of program translation, comprising:identifying inference and binding options for a program;inferring types for programmatic constructs that omit a type if the inference option is on; anddelaying binding of types to objects until runtime for programmatic constructs annotated with a root type if the binding option is on.
12. The method of claim 11, identifying the options from within the program and/or at compiler command line.
13. The method of claim 11, further comprising producing an error if a type is omitted for a programmatic construct and the inference option is off.
14. The method of claim 11, further comprising inferring types for a local variable, field or property, return value and/or a method parameter.
15. The method of claim 11, further comprising binding types to objects at compile time if the binding option is off.
16. The method of claim 11, further comprising identifying the inference option as a function of the binding option or identifying the binding option as a function of the inference option.
17. A computer readable medium having stored thereon a computer program comprising:a plurality of computer programming code; andan option statement within the code that indicates whether or not type inference is to be performed with respect to the code.
18. The computer readable medium of claim 17, the option statement identifies syntactic constructs on which type inference is on or off.
19. The computer readable medium of claim 18, the option statement identifies local variables, fields, or properties, return types and/or method parameters.
20. The computer readable medium of claim 17, further comprising an option statement identifies whether or not late binding is applicable.
[0001]Computer programs are groups of instructions that describe actions to be performed by a computer or other processor-based device. When a computer program is loaded and executed on computer hardware, the computer will behave in a predetermined manner by following the instructions of the computer program. Accordingly, the computer becomes a specialized machine that performs the tasks prescribed by the instructions.
[0002]A programmer using one or more programming languages creates the instructions comprising a computer program. Typically, source code is specified or edited by a programmer manually and/or with help of an integrated development environment (IDE). Subsequently, the source code can be compiled or otherwise transformed by another program into computer instructions executable by a computer or like device.
[0003]By way of example, a programmer may choose to implemented code utilizing an object-oriented programming language (e.g., C#, Java . . . ). In accordance with such a paradigm, programmers create a number of classes identifying properties and characteristics of an abstract thing as well as methods describing class behavior or abilities. Specific programmatic logic can then be specified as interactions between instances of classes or objects, among other things. Subsequently, executable code for a particular machine can be produced by an associated compiler. Alternatively, code can be transformed into intermediate code for a target virtual machine to facilitate execution on multiple computer platforms via further compilation or interpretation of the intermediate code.
[0004]Conventionally, programming languages are either statically typed or dynamically typed. Types provide constraints on the interpretation of data in accordance with a language type system. Accordingly, types can be utilized to detect programming errors via a type checking. In this manner, a degree of program safety can be obtained by detecting meaningless or likely invalid code as a function of data types. This can be accomplished either statically or dynamically. A statically typed language enables a program to be type checked at compile time. Accordingly, all types are known at compile time, for example by explicit specification or type inference. Dynamically typed languages differ in that they are type checked at runtime. As a consequence, types need not be explicitly specified or inferred prior to use, rather they are determined during execution.
[0005]When selecting a language, programmers need to consider tradeoffs between static and dynamic typing. In particular, static typing is beneficial in that errors can be detected prior to execution and programs can execute very efficiently. Further, design time experience can be improved since feedback or assistance can be afforded as a function of known types. However, dynamically typed languages allow more programmatic flexibility than static typed languages enabling programmers to specify code would not be allowed based on restrictions of a static type system. Furthermore, dynamically typed languages are easier to use, as programmers need not be concerned with type specification.
[0006]The following presents a simplified summary in order to provide a basic understanding of some aspects of the claimed subject matter. This summary is not an extensive overview. It is not intended to identify key/critical elements or to delineate the scope of the claimed subject matter. Its sole purpose is to present some concepts in a simplified form as a prelude to the more detailed description that is presented later.
[0007]Briefly described, the subject disclosure pertains to employment of type inference with respect to computer program compilation/translation. More specifically, type inference can be toggled on or off at various levels of granularity (e.g., project, file, programmatic construct, group of constructs . . . ). In one instance, type inference can be controlled as a function of a default and/or explicitly specified type option (e.g., Option Infer On).
[0008]In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, type inference can be employed in combination with late binding. Similar to type inference, binding behavior can switched on and off with an option at various levels of granularity. Type inference and binding options can be independent or dependent of each other. Where both type inference and late binding coexist, types can be inferred for constructs at compile time exclusive of those designated for late binding. In one implementation, late binding can be designated by way of explicit specification of a root type such as "Object." Subsequently, late binding can be performed.
[0009]According to yet another aspect of the disclosure, feedback can be provided to a programmer with respect to option specification. Option designations, including specific options and their status, can be recommended during coding to help programmers determine appropriate options. For example, an option state can be suggested that is likely to produce the least amount of errors given current program state.
[0010]To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, certain illustrative aspects of the claimed subject matter are described herein in connection with the following description and the annexed drawings. These aspects are indicative of various ways in which the subject matter may be practiced, all of which are intended to be within the scope of the claimed subject matter. Other advantages and novel features may become apparent from the following detailed description when considered in conjunction with the drawings.
[0011]FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a program compiler/translation system for controlling type inference in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter.
[0012]FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a program compiler/translation system for controlling type inference and member binding in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter.
[0013]FIG. 3 is a block diagram of an exemplary computer program including inference and binding options.
[0014]FIG. 4 is a block diagram of an option determination system.
[0015]FIG. 5 is a flow chart diagram of a representative method of type inference utilizing options.
[0016]FIG. 6 is a flow chart diagram of a representative method of binding utilizing options.
[0017]FIG. 7 is a flow chart diagram of a representative method of type inference and binding.
[0018]FIG. 8 is a flow chart diagram of a representative method of program analysis.
[0019]FIG. 9 is a schematic block diagram illustrating a suitable operating environment for aspects of the subject disclosure.
[0020]FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram of a sample-computing environment.
[0021]Systems and methods are described hereinafter with respect to type inference activation, among other things. A computer program can be associated with an inference option that indicates whether or not type inference is to apply to a program or portions thereof. Type inference can also interact in various manners with other program language features or options of a single program language including early/late binding. Still further yet, a program can be analyzed and inference, binding and/or other options recommended or suggested as a function of the analysis to aid programmers in program specification.
[0022]Various aspects of the subject disclosure are now described with reference to the annexed drawings, wherein like numerals refer to like or corresponding elements throughout. It should be understood, however, that the drawings and detailed description relating thereto are not intended to limit the claimed subject matter to the particular form disclosed. Rather, the intention is to cover all modifications, equivalents and alternatives falling within the spirit and scope of the claimed subject matter.
[0023]Referring initially to FIG. 1, a program compiler/translation system 100 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. The compiler/translation system 100 is operable to analyze and transform or translate a program from a first form to a second form. Accordingly, the compiler system 100 can correspond to a source code compiler or a just-in-time (JIT) compiler, among other things. The compiler system 100 includes an option identifier component 110 and a type inference component 120.
[0024]The option identifier component 110 locates or otherwise identifies semantic or compiler options associated with a program. The options can be specified at one or more levels of granularity including project, file and/or construct level among others. Further yet, the options can be specified at a compiler command line. Where specified options conflict, the option identifier component 110 can resolve the conflict utilizing predefined rules, inference or other mechanisms. For instance, a project option may override a command line prompt, which may take precedence over a file or construct option, or vice versa.
[0025]In accordance with one aspect, the option identifier component 110 can identify a type inference option. Type inference is a convenience mechanism that allows programmers to omit type annotations where the types can subsequently be inferred automatically. Accordingly, the type inference option can act as a switch to turn type inference on or off for a program or portion thereof. By way of example and not limitation, the option can be specified as a statement at the beginning of the file such as "Option Infer On" or "Option Infer Off" Alternatively, it can appear in a command line prompt such as "/optioninfer: +" or "/optioninfer -." The option identifier component 110 can identify options from one or more of such locations.
[0026]The type inference component 120 is a mechanism that performs type inference in accordance with any conventional or novel inference algorithm native to the compiler or extended by a plug-in or the like. The type inference component 120 can receive, retrieve or otherwise obtain or acquire inference option information from the option identifier component 110. If the option indicates that type inference is to be performed, the type inference component 120 can be activated to infer types. Otherwise, the type inference component 120 remains inactive or unemployed. The result of the type inference component 120, if successful, is a type. An inferred type or failure to infer a type can be employed by a type checker component (not shown) to identify programmatic errors as a function of types, among other things.
[0027]By way of example, consider a generic variable assignment "x=5." If type inference were on, then "x" would be inferred to its precise type integer since "5" is an integer and it is assigned to the field/variable "x." If inference is off, then the type inference is not performed. In a static language would cause an error since the type of "x" was neither declared explicitly as in "Int x=5" or inferred.
[0028]It should be appreciated that type inference can be applicable to any or all syntactic and/or semantic constructs. The above example pertains to a local variable and more specifically local variable initialization. However, the claimed subject matter is not so limited. Type inference can also apply to return results and/or parameters, among other things. Furthermore, the granularity of type inference can be explicitly delimited. For example, the inference option can be parameterized or qualified to indicate that type inference is to apply to local variables, returns results and/or method parameters. Dually, type inference can be turned on everywhere except for explicitly listed scenarios and/or constructs. For instance, type inference can be specified as on excluding method parameters--meaning, type inference will not be performed with respect to method parameters but will otherwise apply.
[0029]Compiler/translation system 100 is applicable to either static or dynamic languages. Moreover, in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter, type inference functionality provided by system 100 can be implemented with respect to a hybrid static/dynamic language. In other words, the system 100 is applicable to a program including both static features such type inference as well as dynamic features such as late binding.
[0030]Turning attention to FIG. 2, a program compiler/translation system 200 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. Similar to system 100 of FIG. 1, the system 200 can include the option identifier component 110 and the inference component 120, as previously described. In brief, the option identifier component 110 locates a semantic and/or compiler option associated with a program that is utilized to switch type inference provided by the component 120 on or off. Additionally, the system 200 includes binding component 210 communicatively coupled to the option identifier component 110.
[0031]The binding component 210 binds types to objects, among other things. In object-oriented programming, for instance, objects can include members such as methods, functions and/or fields/variables. One feature of object-oriented programming is polymorphism, which refers to a concept that objects of different types can respond to member calls of the same name each one providing a potentially differing functionality. For example, if class "B" is derived from class "A," then B need not inherit everything from class A; it can do some things differently. Hence, functionality is determined by a type bound to an object. Additionally or alternatively, the binding component 210 can bind types to generic methods or the like. It is to be appreciated that the binding component 220 can include one or more sub-components (not shown) for looking up types, inferring types and/or resolving overloads, among other things.
[0032]The functionality of binding component 210 can be applied early at compile time or late at runtime. Type can be bound to objects at compile time if they are known. However, sometimes types cannot be determined at compile time and/or binding is not desired at that time. In this case, binding can be applied at runtime prior to execution. In any event, the functionality provided by the binding component 210 can be substantially similar whether performed at compile time or runtime.
[0033]Applicability of the binding component 210 can be dependent upon an associated option. The option identifier component 110 can identify a binding option (e.g., option strict) that indicates whether binding is to be performed early or late. Similar to the inference option, the binding option can be identified from, among other things, a program/project statement and/or a compilation option. Moreover and in accordance with one aspect, binding can be dependent upon an explicit type. For example, if a variable is explicitly specified of a root type such as "Object," then late binding is on for that expression. In this manner, programmers can opt into late binding via explicit type annotation.
[0034]It is to be appreciated that there can be interdependencies between binding and inference options. For instance, if late binding is turned on (e.g., option strict off) then type inference can be switched off or alternatively if late binding is off (e.g., option strict on), type inference can be turned on. One issue with the example dependencies is that some users may want to have both late binding and type inference on for flexibility and strong typing, respectively. Accordingly, the dependency can be such that when type inference is on, late binding is on or vice versa. Any dependencies can be implemented and effectuated by the option identifier component 110.
[0035]By way of example, consider an exemplary static typed code segment "Dim X=3." If type inference is on for local variables, a compiler could use the variable's initialization to determine its type at compile type. Here, since "3" is an integer, "X" can be inferred as type integer. This could also be considered early bound code as the variable "X" is bound to type integer. Alternatively, if type inference is off, then an error could be generated since type is not explicitly specified.
[0036]Consider another exemplary code snippet:
Dim X=5
[0037]X="abc"If type inference is turned on, the type can be inferred to be of type object, a common super type of integer and string. However, if type inference is on only for local variable initialization, then an error would be produced. In this case, "X" would be inferred first to be of type integer. Subsequently, an error would be produced with respect to the second line of code, as this would be interpreted as attempting to assign a string "abc" to an integer variable.
[0038]Type inference and binding can interact in a myriad of different ways. By way of example, consider a system that requires a global option (e.g., Option Strict Off) and a root type object to indicate late binding is to be applied. Consider the following code snippet:
Option Infer On
Option Strict Off
Dim X=3;
[0039]Here, the type of "X" would be inferred to type integer based on the assignment of the integer "3." Programmers can explicitly opt into late bind by explicitly specifying the type as object as follows:
Option Infer On
Option Strict Off
Dim X As Object=3;
[0040]Referring to FIG. 3, an exemplary program 300 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. The program 300 can be a program file, group of files, or project, among other things. Program code component 310 includes sequence of one or more statements and/or declarations in a computer programming language (e.g., C #, Visual Basic, Java, Intermediate Language Code (IL) . . . ). The program can also include inference option component 320 and binding option component 320 internal and/or external to the program code component 310. For instance, options can be specified within a program file or at a project level.
[0041]The inference option component 320 specifies whether or not and/or where type inference is to apply. For example, the component 320 can be implemented as statement such as "Option Infer On/Off." The statement can also be qualified by inclusion and/or exclusion groups such as "Option Infer On+local variables" or "Option Infer On-method parameters, results," respectively.
[0042]The binding option component 330 indicates whether types are early bound or late bound. Furthermore, the binding options can be specified implicitly or explicitly at varying levels of granularity such as for an entire project or a single expression in a program file. In one instance, the binding option can be implemented as a statement such as "Option Strict On/off," "Option Late Bind On/Off," or "Option Early Bind On/Off." The statement can also be qualified to include or exclude particular constructs or regions of code. Additionally or alternatively, the binding component 330 can include and/or be triggered by an implicit and/or explicit type such as language root type (e.g., Object).
[0043]Turning attention to FIG. 4, an option determination system 400 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the disclosure. The system 400 provides a mechanism for providing feedback regarding options and their usage. In one implementation, the system 400 can form a part of a program development component or system such as a program editor, tool, integrated development environment (IDE) and/or the like. Accordingly, the system 400 can be a pluggable extension for conventional program development environments.
[0044]The option determination system 400 includes an interface component 410 and an analysis component 420. The interface component 420 provides a mechanism for interacting with a program. In one instance, the interface component can receive and/or retrieve program code and transmit or otherwise make the code available to the analysis component 420. Upon acquisition of program code, the analysis component 420 can analyze the code and make suggestions corresponding to semantic or compiler options such as type inference and/or binding options. In essence, the analyzer component 430 can infer options that result in the least amount of errors.
[0045]In one implementation, the analysis component 420 can employ control flow analysis to look at types being assigned explicitly or implicitly. Based on this analysis, feedback can be provided to a programmer suggesting type inference be turned on or off. Furthermore, assistance can be provided to change option state. For instance, feedback can be provided as a warning indicating that the system believes the programmer should utilize a particular option and a smart tag that can be activated to change option state.
[0046]The aforementioned systems, architectures and the like have been described with respect to interaction between several components. It should be appreciated that such systems and components can include those components or sub-components specified therein, some of the specified components or sub-components, and/or additional components. Sub-components could also be implemented as components communicatively coupled to other components rather than included within parent components. Further yet, one or more components and/or sub-components may be combined into a single component to provide aggregate functionality. Communication between systems, components and/or sub-components can be accomplished in accordance with either a push and/or pull model. The components may also interact with one or more other components not specifically described herein for the sake of brevity, but known by those of skill in the art.
[0047]Furthermore, as will be appreciated, various portions of the disclosed systems and methods may include or consist of artificial intelligence, machine learning, or knowledge or rule based components, sub-components, processes, means, methodologies, or mechanisms (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines, classifiers . . . ). Such components, inter alia, can automate certain mechanisms or processes performed thereby to make portions of the systems and methods more adaptive as well as efficient and intelligent. By way of example and not limitation, the inference component 120 can employ such mechanisms to facilitate identification and binding of types. Furthermore, the analysis component 420 can employ machine learning with respect to code analysis and option suggestion.
[0048]In view of the exemplary systems described sura, methodologies that may be implemented in accordance with the disclosed subject matter will be better appreciated with reference to the flow charts of FIGS. 5-8. While for purposes of simplicity of explanation, the methodologies are shown and described as a series of blocks, it is to be understood and appreciated that the claimed subject matter is not limited by the order of the blocks, as some blocks may occur in different orders and/or concurrently with other blocks from what is depicted and described herein. Moreover, not all illustrated blocks may be required to implement the methodologies described hereinafter.
[0049]Referring to FIG. 5, a type inference method 500 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. The type inference method 500 automatically supplies omitted types for programmatic constructs where the types can be inferred. At reference numeral 510, an inference option is identified. By way of example and not limitation, the inference option can be identified as an option statement in a program file or project (e.g., "Option Infer On/Off"). Additionally or alternatively, the option can be identified from a compile command prompt, for instance "/optioninfer[+|-]." Still further yet, the option can be inferred or identified as a default. At numeral 520, the type inference is performed in accordance with an identified option. For example, if the type inference option is on, types can be inferred and bound to objects at compile time. Alternatively, no action need be taken. Furthermore, it is to be appreciated that type inference can be applied at various levels of syntactic and/or semantic granularity (e.g., project, file, file segments, statements . . . ). For example, type inference can be applied for local variables, fields or properties upon initialization, return values and/or parameter types.
[0050]FIG. 6 depicts a binding method 600 in accordance with an aspect of the subject disclosure. Binding refers to binding types to objects at compile time or at runtime. Binding at compile time is advantageous in that it increases execution speed and reduces runtime errors. Alternatively, runtime binding provides programming flexibility, for instance where a compile type cannot be determined. At reference numeral 610, a binding option is identified indicating whether binding is early or late. This can be identified from project and/or file metadata. Additionally or alternatively, the binding option can be identified from a compiler command line prompt (e.g., "/optionstrict [+|-]"), among other things. At reference 620, late binding of constructs can occur. Late binding can comprise binding types to objects and/or objects to methods or the like. In accordance with one aspect, the binding can occur with respect to constructs explicitly declared of a root type such as "Object." However, the scope of innovation need not be so limited.
[0051]Referring to FIG. 7, a method of type inference and binding 700 is illustrated in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. It is to be appreciated that type inference and binding can be related and/or dependent upon each other. In other words, they can be employed together over a program in a single programming language. At reference numeral 710, type inference can be performed at compile time with respect to specified programmatic constructs that omit type. In other words, types can be early bound to constructs. For example, local variable types can be inferred and bound thereto upon initialization. At numeral 720, constructs not early bound are late bound. In accordance with an aspect of the disclosure, late bound constructs can be uniquely identified, for instance via explicit specification of a root type such as object or special static type (e.g., dynamic), among other things. For example, type parameters can be bound to types and/or method bound to objects, among other things.
[0052]FIG. 8 is a flow chart diagram of a method of provisioning programmatic assistance 800 in accordance with an aspect of the claimed subject matter. At reference numeral 810, a program is analyzed. For example, control flow and/or data flow analysis can be employed to analyze program specification. At reference numeral 820, suggestions, recommendations or hints can be provided with respect to type inference and/or binding options. Based on particulars of program specification such suggestions or the like can be made with a view toward minimizing errors. For instance, if turning type inference on would produce less errors that when it is off, then a program can be notified that he might like to turn type inference on. Similarly, if a late bound program would produce fewer errors, then a late bound option can be recommended. These suggestions can be provided at a program, file and/or construct level. In one instance, a warning can be displayed alone or in combination with a smart tag which would allow a use to toggle options in accordance with a suggestion (e.g., option infer on/off, option strict on/off).
[0053]As used herein, the terms "component," "system" and the like are intended to refer to a computer-related entity, either hardware, a combination of hardware and software, software, or software in execution. For example, a component may be, but is not limited to being, a process running on a processor, a processor, an object, an instance, an executable, a thread of execution, a program, and/or a computer. By way of illustration, both an application running on a computer and the computer can be a component. One or more components may reside within a process and/or thread of execution and a component may be localized on one computer and/or distributed between two or more computers.
[0054]The word "exemplary" is used herein to mean serving as an example, instance or illustration. Any aspect or design described herein as "exemplary" is not necessarily to be construed as preferred or advantageous over other aspects or designs. Furthermore, examples are provided solely for purposes of clarity and understanding and are not meant to limit the subject innovation or relevant portion thereof in any manner. It is to be appreciated that a myriad of additional or alternate examples could have been presented, but have been omitted for purposes of brevity.
[0055]As used herein, the term "inference" or "infer" refers generally to the process of reasoning about or inferring states of the system, environment, and/or user from a set of observations as captured via events and/or data. Inference can be employed to identify a specific context or action, or can generate a probability distribution over states, for example. The inference can be probabilistic--that is, the computation of a probability distribution over states of interest based on a consideration of data and events. Inference can also refer to techniques employed for composing higher-level events from a set of events and/or data. Such inference results in the construction of new events or actions from a set of observed events and/or stored event data, whether or not the events are correlated in close temporal proximity, and whether the events and data come from one or several event and data sources. Various classification schemes and/or systems (e.g., support vector machines, neural networks, expert systems, Bayesian belief networks, fuzzy logic, data fusion engines . . . ) can be employed in connection with performing automatic and/or inferred action in connection with the subject innovation.
[0056]Furthermore, all or portions of the subject innovation may be implemented as a method, apparatus or article of manufacture using standard programming and/or engineering techniques to produce software, firmware, hardware, or any combination thereof to control a computer to implement the disclosed innovation. The term "article of manufacture" as used herein is intended to encompass a computer program accessible from any computer-readable device or media. For example, computer readable media can include but are not limited to magnetic storage devices (e.g., hard disk, floppy disk, magnetic strips . . . ), optical disks (e.g., compact disk (CD), digital versatile disk (DVD) . . . ), smart cards, and flash memory devices (e.g., card, stick, key drive . . . ). Additionally it should be appreciated that a carrier wave can be employed to carry computer-readable electronic data such as those used in transmitting and receiving electronic mail or in accessing a network such as the Internet or a local area network (LAN). Of course, those skilled in the art will recognize many modifications may be made to this configuration without departing from the scope or spirit of the claimed subject matter.
[0057]In order to provide a context for the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter, FIGS. 9 and 10 as well as the following discussion are intended to provide a brief, general description of a suitable environment in which the various aspects of the disclosed subject matter may be implemented. While the subject matter has been described above in the general context of computer-executable instructions of a program that runs on one or more computers, those skilled in the art will recognize that the subject innovation also may be implemented in combination with other program modules. Generally, program modules include routines, programs, components, data structures, etc. that perform particular tasks and/or implement particular abstract data types. Moreover, those skilled in the art will appreciate that the systems/methods may be practiced with other computer system configurations, including single-processor, multiprocessor or multi-core processor computer systems, mini-computing devices, mainframe computers, as well as personal computers, hand-held computing devices (e.g., personal digital assistant (PDA), phone, watch . . . ), microprocessor-based or programmable consumer or industrial electronics, and the like. The illustrated aspects may also be practiced in distributed computing environments where tasks are performed by remote processing devices that are linked through a communications network. However, some, if not all aspects of the claimed subject matter can be practiced on stand-alone computers. In a distributed computing environment, program modules may be located in both local and remote memory storage devices.
[0058]With reference to FIG. 9, an exemplary environment 910 for implementing various aspects disclosed herein includes a computer 912 (e.g., desktop, laptop, server, hand held, programmable consumer or industrial electronics . . . ). The computer 912 includes a processing unit 914, a system memory 916 and a system bus 918. The system bus 918 couples system components including, but not limited to, the system memory 916 to the processing unit 914. The processing unit 914 can be any of various available microprocessors. It is to be appreciated that dual microprocessors, multi-core and other multiprocessor architectures can be employed as the processing unit 914.
[0059]The system memory 916 includes volatile and nonvolatile memory. The basic input/output system (BIOS), containing the basic routines to transfer information between elements within the computer 912, such as during start-up, is stored in nonvolatile memory. By way of illustration, and not limitation, nonvolatile memory can include read only memory (ROM). Volatile memory includes random access memory (RAM), which can act as external cache memory to facilitate processing.
[0060]Computer 912 also includes removable/non-removable, volatile/non-volatile computer storage media. FIG. 9 illustrates, for example, mass storage 924. Mass storage 924 includes, but is not limited to, devices like a magnetic or optical disk drive, floppy disk drive, flash memory or memory stick. In addition, mass storage 924 can include storage media separately or in combination with other storage media.
[0061]FIG. 9 provides software application(s) 928 that act as an intermediary between users and/or other computers and the basic computer resources described in suitable operating environment 910. Such software application(s) 928 include one or both of system and application software. System software can include an operating system, which can be stored on mass storage 924, that acts to control and allocate resources of the computer system 912. Application software takes advantage of the management of resources by system software through program modules and data stored on either or both of system memory 916 and mass storage 924.
[0062]The computer 912 also includes one or more interface components 926 that are communicatively coupled to the bus 918 and facilitate interaction with the computer 912. By way of example, the interface component 926 can be a port (e.g., serial, parallel, PCMCIA, USB, FireWire . . . ) or an interface card (e.g., sound, video, network . . . ) or the like. The interface component 926 can receive input and provide output (wired or wirelessly). For instance, input can be received from devices including but not limited to, a pointing device such as a mouse, trackball, stylus, touch pad, keyboard, microphone, joystick, game pad, satellite dish, scanner, camera, other computer and the like. Output can also be supplied by the computer 912 to output device(s) via interface component 926. Output devices can include displays (e.g., CRT, LCD, plasma . . . ), speakers, printers and other computers, among other things.
[0063]FIG. 10 is a schematic block diagram of a sample-computing environment 1000 with which the subject innovation can interact. The system 1000 includes one or more client(s) 1010. The client(s) 1010 can be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The system 1000 also includes one or more server(s) 1030. Thus, system 1000 can correspond to a two-tier client server model or a multi-tier model (e.g., client, middle tier server, data server), amongst other models. The server(s) 1030 can also be hardware and/or software (e.g., threads, processes, computing devices). The servers 1030 can house threads to perform transformations by employing the aspects of the subject innovation, for example. One possible communication between a client 1010 and a server 1030 may be in the form of a data packet transmitted between two or more computer processes.
[0064]The system 1000 includes a communication framework 1050 that can be employed to facilitate communications between the client(s) 1010 and the server(s) 1030. The client(s) 1010 are operatively connected to one or more client data store(s) 1060 that can be employed to store information local to the client(s) 1010. Similarly, the server(s) 1030 are operatively connected to one or more server data store(s) 1040 that can be employed to store information local to the servers 1030.
[0065]For example, programs can be specified with type inference and/or binding options and compiled on a client 1010. Subsequently, the compiled program can be provided to one or more servers 1010 for distribution over communication framework 1050 to multiple clients 1010. Recipient clients can subsequently perform late binding at runtime. Similarly, functionality associated with suggesting and/or determining options can be embodied in a plug-in, which can be downloaded from a server 1030 to a client 1010 for installation and use.
[0066]What has been described above includes examples of aspects of the claimed subject matter. It is, of course, not possible to describe every conceivable combination of components or methodologies for purposes of describing the claimed subject matter, but one of ordinary skill in the art may recognize that many further combinations and permutations of the disclosed subject matter are possible. Accordingly, the disclosed subject matter is intended to embrace all such alterations, modifications and variations that fall within the spirit and scope of the appended claims. Furthermore, to the extent that the terms "includes," "has" or "having" or variations in form thereof are used in either the detailed description or the claims, such terms are intended to be inclusive in a manner similar to the term "comprising" as "comprising" is interpreted when employed as a transitional word in a claim.

All reader reviews by Fandango-the-Fish
Thai Silk (Waterloo)
We're Thai food junkies and on our recent visit to the UK from Toronto, we were lucky to find Thai Silk near the Old Vic.
Great bunch of guys and some of the best Thai Food weve eaten. Was very busy and the crowded room made us feel part of the London atmosphere. The Green Chicken Curry was one of the best weve eaten, and their Phad Thai was something to remember. Their prices were not too hard on our Canadian dollars either which meant we could go back, twice more, before we left London.
Thanks guys, you definately helped make our trip special.

Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Novels/Novel categorization
Novel categorization[edit]
- /Novel categorization - Novel categorization discussions (only use the page talk for page related discussion)
categorization ideas[edit]
Just trying to start conversation here, as this should be started soon. Options I see are.
- Genre and sub genre
- Period when book was published.
- Or some combination of the two.
Good progress, no response...[edit]
What is up now looks very good, but I am curious about the lack of ideas mentioned on this page....Eagle (talk) (desk) 22:03, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- Not enough people watching? I'm curious as to whether it's possible to use the template itself (what links here page?) to gather statistics on what people actually put into the "genre" field... --Alvestrand 22:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
drop categories that are guaranteed to require multivalue?[edit]
When looking at "frame story", I was thinking of Dan Simmon's "Hyperion". Definitely a frame story, but also definitely a science fiction story. I think books shuld be marked with the genre of the stories, not the genre "frame story".
- haven't looked at frame story myself - certain consider what you have said. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 22:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
I'd also like to drop some less-useful categories - like separating "whodunit" from "mystery". --Alvestrand 22:13, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
- We are pointing the "Whodunit" to Mystery as a Category anyway - so that's covered. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page) 22:28, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
Is there a reason we don't have Children's Novels as a category? I know there can be grey areas, but at the same time it seems like an obvious missing area? I'm going through categorising stubs at the moment and would have thought a children's-book-stub category was worth having, too. Thoughts, anyone?
- Update - my bad - I've just discovered the childrens-books-stub. --JennyRad 22:00, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
Gothic vs. Horror[edit]
I asked on another page but any clarification on horror novels vs. gothic novels? PeregrineV 18:49, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
- I can across these definitions on the web I hope they help.
- GOTHIC NOVEL: A type of romance wildly popular between 1760 up until the 1820s that has influenced the ghost story and horror story. The stories are designed to thrill readers by providing mystery and blood-curdling accounts of villainy, murder, and the supernatural. As J. A. Cuddon suggests, the conventions include wild and desolate landscapes; ancient buildings such as ruined monasteries, cathedrals, and castles with dungeons, torture chambers, secret doors, and winding stairways; apparitions such as phantoms, demons, and necromancers; an atmosphere of brooding gloom; and youthful, handsome heroes and fainting (or screaming!) heroines who face off against corrupt aristocrats, wicked witches, and hideous monsters. Conventionally, female characters are threatened by powerful or impetuous male figures, and description functions through a metonymy of fear by presenting details designed to evoke horror, disgust, or terror (see Cuddon's discussion, 381-82).
- HORROR STORY: A short story, novel, or other work of prose fiction designed to instill in the reader a sense of fear, disgust, or horror. The modern and postmodern horror story, as typified by H. P. Lovecraft, Peter Straub, Stephen King, Poppy Z. Brite, and Anne Rice, grows out of the earlier conventions of gothic literature from the nineteenth and eighteenth centuries. See gothic, gothic novel, and gothic literature.
- Trust that is clearer, there is not a clear distinction is is one of emphasis and character. As with many things in life categorization is an imprecise art. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 15:57, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
- Within that last category is also Erotic/Horror/Fantasy. I just came across a novel by a horror writer (LHK) that is a stub in Horror but is really more of an Erotic Dark Fantasy. Do we have an offical Library listing of categories? If not, then perhaps the ISBN agency, which I believe is Bowker.com may be a good place to begin in terms of adopting a standardized category list. If I can find it, I'll post. Oroboros 1 10:57, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
More Novel Categorizations[edit]
Is it just me or have more categories been added? I only ask beacuse I now see something called "Invasion novels" which I don't believe was there before. Is this our new list to use? PeregrineV 16:35, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
- As I recall this genre was in the first of very early list I put together from a number of source throughout wikipedia. It is really on the main Wikipedia:WikiProject Novels/Novel categorization discussion page so others can review it - debate it - add to it, etc. Then as each is seen as significant add to the list on the WP:NOVELS main project page for categories and stubs etc. Do you have any particular though I haven't touched this subject for some time myself. :: Kevinalewis : (Talk Page)/(Desk) 16:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
Library of Congress Subject Headings (2006)[edit]
I found the official "red book" for Subject Headings [1]. Unfortunately, it's huge and costly. Perhaps there's an online version available. I plan to look into this on my next visit to my local library. Oroboros 1 11:14, 26 October 2006 (UTC)
- One work-around is to go to the LC website and browse or search by subject using the term you think is most likely. Another would be to go to WorldCat and search by subject, and see what libraries are using.HTH, Pegship 22:21, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
Writer novels vs. Novels by writer[edit]
Discussion has begun here about whether to conform to one or another of these forms for purposes of category naming. Her Pegship 01:08, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

A New Direction
Three Kids find out that they are attending a special school, attended by special students. Struggling to figure themselves out, they must save the world and themselves, before it's too late.
Aidan sighed. He was getting frustrated with his teacher, Mr. Gertan.
"I can't do this!" He exclaimed for the millionth time.
"Yes you can, you're just not trying hard enough," was the same responce that Mr.Gertan had been saying every time, "Let's try again."
Aidan groaned inwardly. If this time it didn't work, then he was calling it quits. He shut his hazel eyes, and concentrated. He used his mind to probe himself, searching. What he was searching for he didn't know, but he and his teacher knew it was there. Some power that lay within him, that hadn't revealed itself.
Aidan's best friends, Skye and Charlie, had found theirs. Skye could control the weather and fly. And Charlie could run really fast and turn invisible. In fact, the whole school had found their powers that day. Everyone had, but him.
Aidan concentrated, his eyes squeezed. Ah! He felt something, it was hot.. too hot. He scrambled for it. Inwardly he was happy, but also embarrassed that his teacher had been right.
Fire charged out of his hands, and his Mr. Gertan was pushed back. A force feild had come around Aidan, and his hands were burning.
"Open your eyes child!" Gertan shouted. He was afraid Aidan would burn something, or heat up the force field bubble and create too much heat.
Aidan opened his his, happiness sparkled in them, he had his power. He explored a bit with his power, figuring how to turn the heat up, on more parts of his body, and also how to turn it off. Mr. Gertan seemed to be having a heart attack, so he turned it off to see what the problem was.
Mr.Gertan's face was red from shouting ,his hair was disheveled and his glasses skewed. He had been jumping and screaming around the force field for ten minutes straight, trying to get Aidan to notice him and turn his powers off, needless to say, it hadn't worked.
" What was that?!" Mr.Gertan yelled, "you could have gotten yourself killed! Hwy didn't you turn it off when I told you?"
"I didn't here you professor, I'm sorry." Aidan responded. "But i did it!"
"I see that," the professor said, a small smile tugged his lips, "but you need to learn how to control it. You don't want to set the whole school on fire, or block children out of the loo."
"Wait, what do you mean block them out of the loo? I thought I could only go on fire?" Aidan questioned, he had only felt one power.
"Well, you have two powers, just like everyone else. You can create a forcefield, and a rather powerful one at that. I think that is why it took you so long to find your ability, because you were blocking yourself out as a protective reflex." the professor said. "You should probably head off to dinner now, I don't want you to die of hunger."
"Alright then, thanks professor!" Aidan said as he started off to the main hall. He practiced turning his forcefield on and off, only aware of it because of the grasshoppers that tried to jump away hit it, and slid down.
All of a sudden, the wind started to howl, Skye was mad. Aidan dashAIdaed up the hill and entered the hall. The sight before him was stunning.

Berwin Leighton Paisner (BLP) corporate finance partner Michael Weir is to join the firm's former global private equity head Raymond McKeeve at Jones Day.
McKeeve, widely regarded as a leading private equity rainmaker, was hired by Jones Day in August (20 August 2013) after months of speculation surrounding his move. His exit marked the last of about 27 partners to have had their LLP appointments terminated since November 2012, according to the firm's filings at Companies House.
While at BLP McKeeve and Weir worked on a number of projects together, including a mandate advising Darwin Private Equity on a £10m acquisition of the organic baby food business Plum Baby in 2010.
When The Lawyer interviewed BLP corporate head David Collins in August, he was defiant that no partners would follow McKeeve (20 August 2013). He said: "I certainly hope no one will be going with Raymond McKeeve. Nothing has come across my desk that leads me to believe there will be other departures."
When asked if there was gap left by private equity supremo McKeeve, Collins added: "I don't think there is a gap. There are strong individuals in Alan Paul, Catherine Shirley and Michael Weir."
Weir has been with the firm since May 2010 and was made partner in May 2012. He was previously an associate with Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher. His move follows another exit within the firm after Mayer Brown appointed banking and finance partner Richard Todd (7 October 2013).
BLP's revenue fell by 5 per cent in 2012/13, from £246m to £233m, while its profit figures dropped 39 per cent drop in average profit per equity partner (PEP) and 38 per cent in net profit (30 September 2013).
Jones Day's partner laterals in London in the past 18 months include disputes specialists Christopher Braithwaite and Baiju Vasani, who joined from Simmons & Simmons and Crowell & Moring respectively; M&A partners Dan Coppel and Ferdinand Mason from Dewey and Boekel De Nerée respectively; projects and infrastructure partner Dominic O'Brien from Addleshaw Goddard; former Nabarro employment expert Jules Quinn; and capital markets partner Drew Salvest from Mayer Brown.
The hires reflected Jones Day's areas of investment in its UK operations – litigation, finance, restructuring and corporate (22 April 2013).
BLP thanked Weir for his contribution and wished him well.

GRASSLEY DETAILS PLANS: "Sen. Charles Grassley said Thursday afternoon that he would not hold confirmation hearings for Merrick Garland during the lame duck session, even if Hillary Clinton wins the presidency," The (Knoxville, Ia.) Journal Express reported. "However, should Clinton win and renominate Garland, and if the Republicans hold on to the Senate majority, he would begin the confirmation process."
That news about Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Grassley seemed to seal the likelihood of no hearings on Judge Garland's nomination to the Supreme Court in the upcoming lame duck session. What may unfold next year, if Clinton is president and the Senate is controlled by Republicans, remained the topic of speculation and controversy despite the Journal Express report.
"That Supreme Court Stonewall May Not Crumble Anytime Soon," a New York Times headline declared. And a headline in The Hill said, "Heritage calling for Supreme Court blockade if Clinton wins." Yet Politico reported about an Arkansas Republican, "Sen. Cotton won't join indefinite Supreme Court blockade." A Dallas Morning News article also reflected divergent GOP stances, saying, "Cruz, other senators suggest blocking Clinton Supreme Court nominees, while Cornyn would consider them." And The Associated Press reported about Republican Sen. Richard Burr (see Gavel Grab), "North Carolina Sen. Richard Burr is walking back from his promise to block any nominees Democrat Hillary Clinton would make to the U.S. Supreme Court if she's elected president."
On the opinion front, Steve Chapman wrote in The Chicago Tribune about Franklin D. Roosevelt's efforts to increase the court's size in 1937 and said, "There is nothing sacred about the number nine. But changing the size of the court in an attempt to influence how it decides future cases would be a cynical assault on the judiciary and republican government — as it was seen to be in 1937."
STATE COURT ELECTIONS: A National Law Journal article (available by Google search) said state judicial elections on Tuesday also are grabbing media attention, and for good reason: "Tuesday's judicial elections promise to surpass past spending on television ads, with a record $14 million spent by outside groups so far on races for state Supreme Court seats." The Brennan Center for Justice had the latest statistics here.

Call 3 is celebrating 40 years of service, after helping tens of thousands of viewers all across Northern California.PHOTO: Mike Luery/KCRA
"Consumer awareness was not big in those days," said Ann Stargardter-Longmore, the original co-founder of Call 3. "This started the whole ball rolling."
Della Knowles is one of the co-founders of Call 3.
Bill Harvey was the very first Call 3 reporter in 1973.
Call 3 is still battling for consumers like Nadia Titus, whose Bombay cat known as Monkey, disappeared. With the assistance of posters, Monkey was spotted and recovered. Nadia and her mom Barbara drove 1,100 miles to bring him home. "No, Monkey wouldn't be here it if hadn't been for Call 3," Barbara Titus told KCRA 3.PHOTO: Mike Luery/KCRA
"We taught consumers how to follow if they were having a problem," Knowles told KCRA 3. Reporter Mike Luery also reported for Call 3.

Lesson Plan
Reading Response Activities for Geronimo Stilton Book Series
Help students develop new reading strategies and practice their comprehension skills with the activities below. Refer to or distribute the accompanying reproducibles where appropriate.
Help students develop new reading strategies and practice their comprehension skills with the activities below. Refer to or distribute the accompanying reproducibles where appropriate.
1. Character Studies
Much of the humor and action in each Geronimo Stilton book is driven by different characters who play off each other's personalities. Ask students to select a pair of characters, point out how their personality traits are similar and different, and explain how these qualities shape their relationship. They may use the Character Comparison Sheet (PDF) to put their responses in writing. Then have students select one character they can compare and contrast themselves with. What personality traits do they have, or not have, in common with this character? Why might they get along, or not get along, if the character were a real-life person? Students may discuss these questions in class or write their answers on the other side of the Character Comparison reproducible.
2. Analyzing Words and Pictures
Words, type treatment, and illustrations together have a powerful impact on the way a story is interpreted. Have students briefly skim through a Geronimo Stilton book and point out how these elements may differ from those in other books they have read. Then ask them to take turns reading aloud passages from a Geronimo Stilton book. Encourage them to modulate their voices in response to the variety of images and text treatments. Discuss how the shapes, colors, and arrangements of the words and pictures influenced how they read the story.
3. Plot Diagram
Every good story has an introduction, climax, and resolution. Point out that an introduction introduces a story's characters and setting, a climax is the story's most exciting part or "cliffhanger," and a resolution ties up the story's loose ends and reveals the ultimate fate of its characters. Invite readers to identify these elements in a Geronimo Stilton book by having them complete a Plot Diagram (PDF). Ask them to write short summaries of the events that make up each of these elements, along with the events that lead up to and away from the climax.
4. Make Predictions
What will Geronimo do after his car breaks down near a creepy old castle on Halloween night? Will he reveal the secrets of the monstrous, mythical Yeti after confronting them in the Himalayan mountains? Build suspense and help students draw conclusions by completing the Follow the Clues worksheet (PDF). As they read each Geronimo Stilton book, they can write down clues from the story and their own life experiences in order to predict what characters will do next and how problems will be solved.
5. Name That Character
Ask students to think about one of the main characters in the Geronimo Stilton series without revealing his or her identity. What personal qualities and physical traits make that character so distinctive? Ask volunteers to pretend they are one of the characters and deliver a monologue using props such as clothing, toys, and books. Encourage them to explore what's in the head and heart of that character by relating his or her actions with their own life experiences. Then challenge other students to identify the character and explain their answers. Afterward, you may wish to extend this activity by asking the volunteers to reenact a scene from a Geronimo Stilton book based on their character interpretations.

ATLANTA (AP) - James Fields scored 18 points and Devonta White added 17 to help Georgia State beat Georgia Southern 72-52 on Thursday for a school record ninth straight win.
Eric Buckner finished with 13 points while Tony Kimbro Jr. had 13 and Jihad Ali chipped in with 12 for the Panthers.
The Eagles' Sam Mike tied the game 10-10 before White knocked down a 3-pointer off a Fields assist, sparking a 21-5 run.
Georgia Southern (3-7) outshot Georgia State from 3-point range 50 percent (7 of 14) to 30 percent (6 of 20) and from the free throw line 71.4 percent (5 of 7) to 60 percent (6 of 10) but only took 44 shots during the game compared to 61 for Georgia State.

Dear friends of Namibia,
Welcome to the website of the Embassy of Finland in Namibia. In these pages you find information on the many types of cooperation between our two countries and the various activities Finland is involved in. In addition, you can access relevant contact details and further information related to Finland.
It is a particular pleasure to represent Finland in Namibia. Our countries share a long history and a strong partnership originating from the 1870s when the first Finnish Lutheran missionaries arrived in Northern Namibia. The legacy of the Finnish missionaries in Namibia is very much alive today. They were instrumental in establishing schools and health care facilities that have paved the way to Namibia's development. Finland was active in promoting Namibia's independence through missionary work and through the United Nations. The UN Commissioner for Namibia Mr. Martti Ahtisaari, who later became President of Finland and a Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, played a key role. His valuable input in Namibia's transition to independence is still remembered today and widely respected.
This year marks Namibia's Silver Jubilee, 25th anniversary. Our friendship and commitment remains unwavering with new opportunities, in particular as Namibia has recently opened an Embassy in Finland.
Finland continues to promote development in Namibia. Our cooperation aims to enhance capacity building at various levels such as government and municipalities, universities and institutions of higher education, private sector, civil society and church organizations. In addition, we support business sector cooperation and trade promotion.
Through the Fund for Local Cooperation, the Embassy of Finland supports Namibian civil society in the fields of democracy, human rights, socially and ecologically sustainable development and preservation of cultural heritage. The cooperation between Finnish and Namibian non-governmental organizations is lively. Promotion of tourism between Finland and Namibia is motivated by the unique wildlife and developing eco-tourism. Namibia is a fascinating country with a rich and diverse culture worth exploring.
The Embassy of Finland offers a variety of reliable quality services for its citizens and does its utmost to assist travelers from the Nordic countries and others alike with all issues related to Namibia.
I hope you find our website helpful in finding the information you need. If you wish to receive further information, do not hesitate to contact us. We are interested to learn about new initiatives and the on-going cooperation between Finland and Namibia. When possible, we are happy to be of assistance to enhance them further.

Christine Petersen Northport, Long Island, New York Zone 7
I belong to the Asharoken Garden Club. It's the local club and has
about 60 members. It meets during the day, so I usually can only make
the two summer meetings. I enjoy entering in horticulture, helping to
judge the "little show" and spending time with my neighbors and fellow
gardeners. Just by chance there is a meeting on Veteran's Day, so I'll
get to go as there's no school!
I've always wanted to go the Master Gardener route, but they meet in the
day too. It's kind of frustrating! One of the reasons that I like the
daylily club that I belong to is that they meet on the weekend and most
of their events are in the summer. It works great for me!
I've met Master Gardeners of both sexes, but my garden club is strictly
female. When I belonged to an African Violet Club, we had both sexes.
I know that the LI Horticultural society (which I belong to) and the
Gesneriad and Dahlia societies have a lot of men. I belong to one of
the local arboretums as well. They seem to have both men and women. I
don't get to many meetings for these groups as I rehearsal with the
Northport Chorale on the night that they meet. I donate plants and help
out when I can.
I'm going to be 54, so I won't be retiring any time soon. It's hard to
think that I have to wait so many years before I can participate in
these great organizations!

Rampur, May 15 (UNI) Eyesight of at least 27 labourers was affected, after poisonous chemical fell on them in Swartanda area here today.
A tank carrying chemical had fallen into a pit in Swartanda area a month ago. The mishap resulted in leakage in the tank.
Later, the tank was removed from the site, but the chemical was not washed off and it remained in the pit, SP Vir Bahadur Singh said.
The negligence gave birth to another mishap today, where six labourers lost their eyesight and 27 others suffered serious cornea injury.
About 31 people were in the ill-fated van, which lost balance over the wheels and overturned in the pit at Danda-Kanpur road.
The injured were admitted to Bajpur premilary health centre, where 12 critically injured were referred to Haldwani medical centre.
Six of the 12 will be sent to AIIMS in New Delhi tomorrow, where their cornia will be replaced, Mr Singh said.
A case was registered against the driver, who fled the scene, however, search is on to nab him, he said.
The chemical was yet to be identified, he added.
Meanwhile, Samajwadi Party blocked Rampur-Nainital highway to protest the incident.
Blockade could only be lifted after the District Magistrate and Senior Superintendent of Police assured them of stringent action against the guilty, he added.
