Report: Immigration bill could cost taxpayers $6.3 trillion. U.S. attorney for Utah hands Swallow probe to Justice. Herbert nominates Braceras for UDOT head.
Happy Tuesday. The proposed immigration reform bill now before the Senate could cost taxpayers $6.3 trillion if enacted as the new citizens it would create would take more in federal benefits than taxes they pay in, according to the Heritage Foundation, which used a previous report on this subject to help scuttle the 2007 reform push.

PLANO, TX -- Dr Pepper Snapple Group Inc. is taking one of its Texas bottlers to court for allegedly violating a license agreement.
The lawsuit charges Dr Pepper Bottling Co. of Dublin with selling beyond the six-county territory designated in its license agreement via its website and a toll-free telephone number.
The suit also seeks to terminate the bottler's use of the term "Dublin Dr Pepper" on beverage packaging and other merchandise. The bottler is marketing a version of Dr Pepper made with cane sugar as "Dublin Dr Pepper." It is one of several bottlers licensed to make the iconic drink with cane sugar, but Dr Pepper asserts that the bottler is not allowed to modify its trademark name and logo on package labeling.
"In the simplest terms, the bottler in Dublin is using a logo that is no longer authorized and is taking business from fellow Dr Pepper bottlers who play by the rules and sell within their defined territories," said Jim Johnston, president of Dr Pepper Snapple beverage concentrates. "We owe it to our other bottlers to stop these unauthorized practices."
The company's subsidiary, Dr Pepper/Seven Up Inc., filed the lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas. The company said it isn't seeking damages in the case but is asking the court to require the bottler to honor its licensing agreement.
Dublin Dr Pepper said the lawsuit came as a surprise and that it is confident the beverage maker's legal action will not succeed.

Local heroin use and the ER
WCBD-TV: News, Weather, and Sports for Charleston, SC
From our News Partners at WCBD-TV:
While there is not much data specific to heroin there is a lot more of it. Local law enforcement agencies are making more arrests for possession and use and seeing the drug's deadly consequences.
27-year old Stan Gaddy died in December from a heroin overdose in Charleston. His mother Lynette Gaddy told News 2 police are well aware of the problem.
"When my son passed away and we met with detectives they told both of us that the city was full of heroin."
Recently Dorchester County offered their jaw dropping heroin numbers in monthly crime reports. In 2010 it was uncommon and it didn't even make the list, in 2011a slight jump of 4g (grams) seized, then in 2012 another jump with 49g seized and so far for 2013 882g seized.
Dr. Keith Borg, Division Chief of Pediatric Emergency Services at MUSC says he has seen users as young as 14-years arrive at the ER. If you need a barometer on the area's heroin problem head to the ER. Where those who dose a bad batch or shoot up too much are pulled from the brink of a drug induced coma.
"Our typical drugs abused in Charleston would be alcohol and cocaine, and for years in particular crack, but we are marked rise in Heroin."
Dr. Borg says from judging from what he has witnesses heroine is no longer a drug for the dark back alley and has made its way out to the tree lined streets.
"It's not just inner city but in kids and we've seen it from more affluent neighborhoods and we've seen it in more patients. Certainly it's from different populations that you would not expect. It's young well to do families sometimes high school kids in places we hadn't seen that drug before.

Tornados Breeze Past Mars HillOctober 12, 2013
BREVARD, N.C.-The Brevard College Tornados picked up their first South Atlantic Conference win of the season with a 35-7 rout of Mars Hill at Brevard Memorial Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Brevard won the time of possession battle 42:41 to the Lions' 17:19 on their way to collecting 345 yards of total offense on the afternoon. The BC defense held the Lions to 261 yards of total offense while forcing four turnovers.
The Tornados used 14 plays to march 74 yards for a touchdown on the game's opening drive, scoring on a one-yard touchdown run by Tanner Wright. The drive took 8:23 off the clock and gave BC a 7-0 lead following Ben Noboa's extra point.
Wright rushed for 54 yards on nine attempts before leaving the game with an injury early in the 2nd quarter.
The Tornados forced a punt on Mars Hill's first drive before the Lions regained possession at their own 36-yard line following a three-and-out for Brevard.
The Lions were pushing to tie the game at 7-7, driving deep into BC territory until linebacker Anthony Shakir forced a fumble that Brevard's Michael Gruber recovered to prevent the Lions from scoring.
The rest of the 2nd quarter went by scoreless, and the Tornados carried their 7-0 advantage into halftime.
The Lions received to start the 3rd quarter, and moved the ball into Tornado territory after just two plays. A few plays later on second-and-six from the 33, BC cornerback Jacob McCleery intercepted a Trent Miller pass and returned it 74 yards to give BC a two-touchdown lead.
The play padded BC's lead, and smothered any offensive momentum the Lions had gained on the short drive.
BC forced a three-and-out on Mars Hill's ensuing possession, and Brevard drove 53 yards for a touchdown on their next drive to go ahead by 21. Freshman quarterback Caleb Stephens, who replaced the injured Wright, capped the drive with a seven-yard touchdown run.
Stephens rushed for 67 yards on 15 carries, and also completed three passes for 40 yards.
The BC defense then forced another three-and-out, which gave the Tornados the ball at their own 26 with just over a minute left in the 3rd quarter.
Brevard drove 74 yards with eight plays to make it 28-0 on a Jordan Ollis eight-yard touchdown rush with 12:30 left in the 4th quarter. Ollis led the BC rushing attack, which collected 290 yards, with 83 yards on 24 carries.
Another forced turnover led to BC's final score, a one-yard touchdown rush by Jack Woerner, when Devon Holmes returned an interception 26 yards to the Lions one-yard line.
The Lions made their only trip to the end zone on their ensuing possession, completing a 24-yard touchdown pass from Zach Lappin to Dimitri Holmes to make it 35-7.
The Tornados improve to 2-4 (1-2 SAC) in 2013, while the Lions fall 1-5 (0-3 SAC) this season.
The Tornados continue conference play as they visit the Wingate Bulldogs on Saturday for a 1:30 p.m. kickoff from Irwin Belk Stadium.

The burning operation was finished successfully but there was no thing in the DVD.
i've downloaded the bt4-final.iso torrent file from this web site and i've used imgburn , nero 8 , freeIsoBurner ,to burn it, and i've got the same result 'blank DVD' .
help please...
thank you.
If you are sure you're doing it correct try it on another PC after you burn it.
Burn it at very slow speed.
Back|track giving machine guns to monkeys since 2007 !
Do not read the Wiki, most your questions will not be answered there !
Do not take a look at the: Forum Rules !
hello, you may be missing some codec. I`m using a very simple and effective programm-Power Iso.I think you will help.Vik.
One habit that you should get into when using large downloaded files: Always run an MD5 checksum comparison to confirm the validity of your download. We always place the MD5 checksum by the link so you KNOW what it should be. If your MD5 does not match what we are telling you it should be, then something is awry with your download. There are several totally free MD5 software programs you can go get. BT4 is well over a Gig and I would personally never use a file that large that wasn't verified through MD5 comparison.
Have you tried to actually use the DVR that you burned. I am wondering if you were creating a "bootable" version of BT4 and might not know that some windows stuff won't see the files on the DVR. I know this sounds "out in left field", but have you actually tried to boot the DVR? Speaking of that, can you tell us how you are creating the BT4 DVR if you are attempting to make it a bootable version? Just trying to help here and we would love to do so with a little more info from you.

Blake Shelton resolves CMA, "The Voice" conflict
Listen to Blake Shelton on iHeartRadio
Blake Shelton has made it possible for him to keep his commitment to "The Voice" and attend next month's Country Music Association Awards.
The country star tells "Access Hollywood" all he had to do was ask. Blake explains that he's not wielding all kinds of star power and controlling network. He says he'd "like to sit here and tell you it was like John Wayne calling." However, the singer claims his conversation with NBC's Bob Greenblatt was actually comparable to someone crying to get out of a speeding ticket.
Shelton explains that it was "more like that type of begging and pleading and crying" - but adds that it worked. He says Greenblatt agreed to reschedule the reality show.
A live episode of "The Voice" was originally slated for November 6th, which is the night of the 47th annual CMA Awards. Shelton is in the running in five categories heading into the country music event, including the top prize of Entertainer of the Year.

Southbury's 225th Anniversary Shows the Many Connections to the Cornucopia at Oldfield Bed and Breakfast
On June 21, 2012, Southbury celebrated its 225 anniversary at Town Hall where as the First Selectman - our Town's CEO (Chief Elected Official) - I presided over the historical presentations. It was a well attended event and my office has received many compliments. Our featured presentation was by one of our Town's two historians, John Dwyer, who reported on the First Board of Selectmen. They had their first meeting on June 20, 1787 at 2pm. Later that year they would choose a delegate to vote on the US Constitution, which will also celebrate its 225th anniversary on its being adopted this coming September.
Shown above is John Dwyer sharing with Christine and I a box that contains a piece of the original White Oak tree that was the sight of where the first white settlers to this area (then known as the Pomperaug Plantation) spent their first night after traveling up the Housatonic to the Pomperaug Valley. There is an inscription the piece of wood written by Shadrack Osborne, the first First Selectman of Southbury. He was elected along with Increase Moseley (the fourth) who became the Town's first Town Clerk. Increase was the father of John Moseley, the builder of our house. Another key figure was Colonel Hinman, the father-in-law of John Moseley
There was also an excellent talk by Rabbi Polokoff, show above with Reverend Pittman and Rye-Wall, about the proud moment when Southbury stopped the Nazi's in 1937. If you don't know the story, it is well worth a view of the YouTube video I compiled: Southbury Stops The Bund The three clergy talked about their upcoming plans to commemorate the 75th anniversary of this event this coming Fall.
As always, we are happy to share our knowledge of Southbury's history (and there is more) when you come to stay with us. Click here to learn more about our Bed and Breakfast.

P!nk opens up about reconciling with her husband
(Yahoo!) - When Pink first announced that she and husband Carey Hart were reconciling after an 11-month separation, Hollywood was in shock. And awe.
It's not a story you hear very often, but such is their fairy tale.
The singer, whose real name is Alecia Moore, opened up to Redbook magazine about what went into bringing them back together after that 2008 split… and, yes, it involved lingerie.
"Eleven months after we broke up, he asked me to fly to Las Vegas to perform on New Year's Eve at his club," she told the magazine. "I wanted to see him. And I looked hot. There's something about breaking up with someone -- you just look hotter than you ever did before. I will never look as good as I did those six months after we broke up. Never!"
The artist, now 33, used her signature self-confidence to her advantage and made a bold move.
"After sound check I told him that he needed to come to my room," she continued. "I had made him a photo album of all the cards he had ever given me, of all the photos of our entire relationship. I spent months on this album. On the last page, I pasted a photo of me from a really bad movie I made years ago with my neck slit and blood everywhere. Next to it I wrote, 'This is me without you.' On the next page, there was a picture of a baby. And I wrote: 'The rest is unwritten.' The divorce papers that we never signed were behind that page. I was like, 'The rest is up to you.'"

VMware does not recognize wireless cards (as wireless cards). VMware uses the host systems internet connection whether its wired or wireless and creates a virtual wired connection. to my knowledge only USB wireless cna be recognized as wireless in VMware. get a usb wireless and search this site for insturctions... or use google.

nm-applet is one of the 2 parts for network-manager: Network-manager daemon and the applet. To be able to interact with daemon the user needs the applet, and user need to belong to netdev group..This is in a very general way the way it works. For more details please read the "man NetworkManager".
According to the error, the applet is already running..Make sure it is running before running applet again: use the command ps, I always use it, in your case use ---> ps -axjf and look for the gnome info in the tree the nm-applet...It must be under the gnome section.
Looking at the second paragraph, you are starting a script...I think you are little confused....You modified the interfeces file, then run the network-manager, then applet?..
You can just run: /etc/init.d/networking start|stop and try to run ifup (it reads the /etc/network/interfaces) to configure interface.
This is what I understand from you..Correct me if I'm missing something or missunderstanding the issue. I'll be glad to help..

Incident Being Probed At Vernon Verona Sherrill School District
Some parents in the Vernon Verona Sherrill school district have kept thier children home from school today after an incident Thursday during a fire drill. They claim they're concerned for the safety of thier children.
Parents claim that during the fire drill, some four hundred students were walking down the street with teachers to the nearby fire hall when someone drove up to one student and tried to entice that student in thier car. That student later told her parents what happened, and parents claim the district never notified them of the incident and didn't call police. Many parents say they learned of the incident through postings on Facebook.
District officials though confirm there was an incident, but it was too late in the day to notify parents. VVS Superintendent Martha Group told 570 WSYR that during the fire drill, someone tried to sign a student out, but the principal refused. That incident raised some red flags and the state police were notified of the incident. Group claims though it happened at the end of the school day, which made it difficult to notify parents.
As a precaution on Friday, students were kept inside during recess and Group says the state police have been notified and are investigating. She says letters are being sent home to parents today to alert them of the incident.

Two Israeli documentaries in contention for the Oscar for best documentary failed to bring Israel its first coveted golden statue.
Two Israeli documentaries in contention for the Oscar for best documentary failed to bring Israel its first coveted golden statue.
The Gatekeepers and 5 Broken Cameras lost out to the Swedish-British production Searching for Sugar Man on Sunday night when the Academy Awards were handed out in Los Angeles.
Directed by Dror Moreh, The Gatekeepers features a series of interviews with six former leaders of Israel's Shin Bet security service arguing that Israeli policy in the Palestinian territories is ultimately futile and self-defeating. They say that Israel must try to negotiate with the Palestinians and find a path to a peace settlement — even if it means negotiating with terrorist groups. The other film, 5 Broken Cameras ,which was co-directed by Palestinian Emad Burnat and Israeli Guy Davidi, tells the story of a Palestinian village resisting the encroachment of a nearby Israeli settlement.
A Palestinian farmer from the village of Bil'in, Burnat began collecting the footage that would become the film in 2005 following the birth of his fourth son, Gibreel. At about that time, the nearby settlement of Modi'in Illit was established, and Burnat found himself chronicling the skirmishes between the villagers protesting the settlement's blocking of land access and the Israeli soldiers brought in to protect it. With financial help from Davidi and the Israeli government's film fund, Burnat turned his raw footage into a documentary.
No Israeli film has ever won an Academy Award, though several films by the American-born director Joseph Cedar who has lived in Israel since childhood have been nominated in the Best Foreign Language Film category. Israel's nominee, "Fill the Void," was eliminated this year in the first cut.
Daniel Day-Lewis became the first actor to win three Oscars for best actor with his performance as Abraham Lincoln in Lincoln a film that had been an early front-runner in the Oscar race but lost out to "Argo" for best film. Day-Lewis is the son of Jewish actress Jill Balcon, whose parents immigrated to Britain from Latvia and Poland.
Lincoln director Steven Spielberg and screenwriter Tony Kushner went home empty handed.
Argo chronicles the rescue of six American hostages during the Iranian Revolution. Grant Heslov, the picture's co-producer with George Clooney and star Ben Affleck, accepted the golden statuette and film editor William Goldenberg did likewise in his category.
On Oscar night, in the absence of Billy Crystal and other Jewishly attuned hosts of previous years, first-time master of ceremonies Seth MacFarlane stayed away from the typical Jewish Hollywood jokes during the introductory monologue. But in the second part of the evening, Ted, the X-rated stuffed teddy bear of the same titled movie, "revealed" in a skit that his birth name was Theodore Shapiro and he actually was born Jewish, which he figured would assure his acceptance into Hollywood's ranks. The Simon Wiesenthal Center criticized the skit, saying it played into typical anti-Semitic themes.
MacFarlane followed up later with a joke about Hitler and shtick involving the von Trapp family of "Sound of Music" fame and a black-uniformed SS man.
Meanwhile, Barbra Streisand delivered a soulful rendition of "The Way We Were" in a tribute to the late composer Marvin Hamlisch.

Facts Get Lost As Conservative Media Bicker About Latino Outreach
Blog ››› ››› SOLANGE UWIMANA
The battle for the future of the Republican Party has split warring factions of conservative pundits into two camps: those who clamor for expanding the base to increase diversity by appealing to Latino voters, and those who don't. It's Rush Limbaugh versus Sean Hannity, Fox News against Fox News.
But while the country's shifting demographics can partly explain what happened on Election Day, conservative pundits are ignoring a few keys facts: President Obama was reelected because voters trusted him on economic issues, and Latinos are more liberal in their views than conservative media give them credit for.
The wide consensus in the first camp is that Mitt Romney's electoral loss will be the first of many unless the movement starts to appeal to the growing Latino and nonwhite American population. This admission has resulted in some stunning reversals. Staunch anti-immigrant voices, who for years have frothed at the mouth to impeach President Obama over his immigration policies, are now agreeing with Obama's position: Congress should pursue legislation designed to put undocumented immigrants on "a path to citizenship." In conservative media circles, this is known as "amnesty."
On his Thursday radio show, Hannity admitted as much. After noting how lopsided the Latino vote turned out to be -- 71 percent of Hispanics voted for Obama as opposed to 27 who favored Romney -- Hannity repudiated what has characterized the conservative position on immigration, saying:
HANNITY: We've got to get rid of the immigration issue altogether. It's simple for me to fix it. I think you control the border first. You create a pathway for those people that are here. You don't say you've gotta go home. And that is a position that I've evolved on.
Fox News' Juan Williams, Bill O'Reilly, Charles Krauthammer, and others all called for a similar shift in messaging and policy.
On Geraldo Rivera's radio show, after saying Republicans shouldn't make overtures to African-American voters, O'Reilly claimed:
O'REILLY: Hispanic American voters, generally speaking, are conservative socially. They don't believe in gay marriage. They're not libertines. They're not people looking for a handout. They're not that -- generally speaking. They're traditional, family oriented people who are faith-based most of them. And they're Catholics. That's where the Republican Party has to start.
In his Washington Post column, Krauthammer argued that the "principal reason" Latinos vote Democratic "is the issue of illegal immigrants" and added: "For the party in general, however, the problem is hardly structural. It requires but a single policy change: Border fence plus amnesty. Yes, amnesty. Use the word. Shock and awe -- full legal normalization (just short of citizenship) in return for full border enforcement."
Across the aisle, voices such as Limbaugh's disagreed. Limbaugh rejected the idea that Romney lost primarily because of demographics and stressed that the GOP should not give into the media and abandon its "ideologically principled positions."
Writing at National Review Online, Mark Krikorian, executive director of the conservative Center for Immigration Studies, dismissed the calls from the "open-borders Right" and stated that the GOP ought to reach out to those Latinos "who are more assimilated, better educated, and middle class." Referring to Bush's share of the Latino vote in 2004, Krikorian added: "But even if the fairy-tale number of 44 percent of the Hispanic vote were possible, it still wouldn't make sense to keep increasing the Democratic share of the electorate through ongoing mass immigration."
In fact, both camps are missing the forest. As Slate's Matt Yglesias explained, "The GOP doesn't have a problem with Latino voters per se. Rather, it has a problem with a broad spectrum of voters who simply don't feel that it's speaking to their economic concerns. The GOP has an economic agenda tilted strongly to the benefit of elites, and it has preserved support for that agenda -- even though it disserves the majority of GOP voters -- with implicit racial politics."
Indeed, as Democratic pollster Joel Benenson wrote in the New York Times, "The president's victory was a triumph of vision, not of demographics." He continued:
Two key data points illustrate why Americans were always far more open to President Obama's message and accomplishments than commentators assumed. By a three to one margin (74 percent to 23 percent), voters said that what the country faced since 2008 was an "extraordinary crisis more severe than we've seen in decades" as opposed to "a typical recession that the country has every several years." At the same time, a clear majority, 57 percent, believed that the problems we faced after the crisis were "too severe for anyone to fix in a single term," while only 4 in 10 voters believed another president would have been able to do more than Mr. Obama to get the economy moving in the past four years.
The president's forward-looking approach resonated strongly with American voters, who by a margin of 77 percent to 17 percent said that which candidate would make their life better four years from now was more important to their vote than whether they were better off four years ago. And voters simply didn't believe that Mr. Romney was on their side.
Exit polls the night of the election also showed that 60 percent of voters thought the economy was the most important issue of the election. Moreover, CNN reported, voters in the swing states of Florida, New Hampshire, Ohio and Virginia blamed George W. Bush, not Obama, for the economic situation.
And contrary to the conventional wisdom on the right that Latinos are staunch social conservatives, clear majorities favor marriage equality, progressive economic policies, and health care reform.
From an October 22 Pew Hispanic Center survey:
For the first time since the Pew Hispanic Center began asking the question in its National Survey of Latinos, more Hispanics favor allowing gays and lesbians to marry legally (52%) than oppose same-sex marriage (34%).
About seven-in-ten Hispanics who are religiously unaffiliated also favor legal marriage for gays and lesbians (71%).
Other polls confirm these results.
A Latino Decisions poll conducted on the eve of the election also found:
- 42% of Latino voters support a "combination of higher taxes and spending cuts" to reduce the deficit compared to 12% who support "only spending cuts."
- 61% of Latino voters believe that the Affordable Care Act/Obamacare should stand as law compared to 25% who believe it should be repealed.
- 66% of Latino voters believe that the federal government should ensure that all people have access to health insurance compared to 25% who think that people should provide their own health insurance.
A Fox News Latino poll before the election found it misleading to conclude that social issues factor decisively into Latinos' voting decisions:
[S]ocial topics such gay marriage and abortion was ranked fourth among the issues that the respondents said would be most important in their decision on whom to select for president. Social issues was cited as most important by 8 percent of the respondents, coming behind education, which was picked by 11 percent of respondents, healthcare, selected by 14 percent, and at the top was the economy and jobs, cited by a far larger 48 percent.
What's more, when asked which presidential candidate would best encourage the values they believe in, 62 percent chose President Obama - slightly more than twice the percentage (30) who chose his Republican challenger, Mitt Romney.
That indicates that a Republican push to appeal to Latino voters by casting themselves as the party that best reflects their values -- family and faith and traditional social views -- has not swayed them in any significant way.

Fiondella '64 - a retired CEO and chair of The Phoenix, a wealth management products and services provider - made a leadership gift. The Angel Fund topped $1 million in contributions when a donation of $30 by Michael W. Berluti '07 was recorded.Through early January, 4,069 donors had made contributions to the fund since its launch impacting more than 320 students."I am amazed at the generosity of those individuals who have offered to help students complete their education," said Sandra J. Oliveira, executive director of financial aid.She emphasized that the need for families to meet their financial obligations remains high and appealed for additional support for the Angel Fund, which has a current fiscal-year goal of $700,000. The economy continues to sputter, and meeting basic living expenses remains a hardship for many families with students at the College, she said.Fiondella was honored for helping jumpstart the Angel Fund on Tuesday, December 21, during the men's basketball game between PC and Sacred Heart University at the Dunkin' Donuts Center in Providence.Read full story here.To ensure that deserving students can continue this opportunity of a lifetime, please make a gift to the Angel Fund today by visiting www.givetopc.org.

Recursive Genereators
Recursive Generators
Assume you write a function that takes a recursively defined data type as input and you like to test it with QuickCheck. How would you do that?
Example - Cartesian product of sets
We add the function 'product/2' to Erlang's sets module (in standard library) computing the Cartesian product of two sets. A new set can be constructed by associating every element of one set with every element of another set. The Cartesian product of two sets A and B, denoted by A × B is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) such that a is a member of A and b is a member of B.
For example,
> S1 = sets:from_list([1,2]), S2 = sets:from_list([red,white,blue]), sets:to_list(sets:product(S1,S2)). [{1,red},{1,white},{1,blue},{2,red},{2,white},{2,blue}]
In the fashion of test driven development, we start by writing down a property that should hold.
prop_relative_complement() -> ?FORALL({S1,S2},{set(int()),set(colour())}, begin equal(sets:to_list(sets:product(S1,S2)), [ {I,C} || I<-sets:to_list(S1), C<-sets:to_list(S2)]) end). %% Since lists originating from sets may have the elements in different %% orders, we need to compare that they contain the same elements. equal(L1,L2) -> (L1 -- L2) == [] andalso (L2 -- L1) == [].
Surely, we could implement the product function with the list comprehension above, but we want a more efficient implementation. The test, however, need not at all be efficient.
Generators for data type
After formulating the property, we need to implement the generators for the data types, sets and colours in our case, since there is a standard generator for integers. Picking a colour from a predefined set of colours is simple. Creating a set needs a thought... we have to use the library functions in the set module to do so, since we do not want to rely upon the implementation details. One possibility is to simply create a list and turn it into a set:
colour() -> elements([red,white,blue,yellow,green,black]). set(Gen) -> ?LET(L,list(Gen),sets:from_list(L)).
The generator for 'set' is, however, not very satisfactory. For a long discussion see the research paper: ["http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1411275" Testing Erlang Data Types with Quviq QuickCheck], by Thomas Arts, Laura M. Castro and John Hughes. In short,
- In case of a test failure or a sample you are exposed to the internal representation of the set, without knowing how the set is created,
- You may test the sets module insufficiently by only considering sets created in this way,
- You miss the opportunity to test operations on sets that are result of the newly added product operation.
Instead we propose to define a generator for sets recursively, by applying the operators available in the sets module. We need an extra argument to bind the size of the recursion. We create symbolic calls in order to be sure we can track the history of the set creation and in addition to simplify the presentation.
set(Gen,0) -> {call,sets,new,[]}; set(Gen,Size) -> Set = set(Gen,Size div 2), oneof([set(Gen,0), {call,sets,from_list,[list(Gen)]}, {call,sets,add_element,[Gen,Set]}, {call,sets,del_element,[Gen,Set]}, {call,sets,union,[Set,Set]}, {call,sets,product,[Set,Set]} ]).
We divide the size of a smaller set by two instead of subtracting one, since we want to obtain terms of a certain size. If we have two subterms in the recursion, we devide by two, if we have three, we devide by three, etc. If only one subterm, it would suffice to subtract by one. Note that we also have to provide a starting size for the recursion. Here we want QuickCheck to use the same strategy as for other generators, viz. starting with small values and slowly choosing large values. This is done by a standard primitive ?SIZED:
set(Gen) -> ?SIZED(Size,set(Gen,Size)).
Now we have defined a recursive generator which executes a lot of code in the sets module when creating a test case, therefore, already testing the module even before the property is actually checked. But, we need to adapt the property to our symbolic representation of sets.
prop_product() -> ?FORALL({SymS1,SymS2},{set(int()),set(colour())}, begin S1 = eval(SymS1), S2 = eval(SymS2), equal(sets:to_list(sets:product(S1,S2)), [ {I,C} || I<-sets:to_list(S1), C<-sets:to_list(S2)]) end).

In the last two years, every concrete industry executive has made difficult budget decisions, with each hoping that the decision to meet a short-term need will not diminish longterm growth.
Olin Joynton, president of Alpena Community College (ACC), Alpena, Mich., faced such a challenge this spring. His team was concerned about the declining enrollment of the industry's only associate degree program in Concrete Technology. Only 11 of its graduates participated in ACC's commencement in May. Graduation numbers had averaged about 30.
But only five incoming freshmen enrolled for this fall, compared to 35 students not long ago, with more on awaiting list. Although it's true that most incoming students register in late summer just before the semester starts, Joynton was concerned the industry's general decline would aff ect enrollment in the Concrete Technology program.
The State of Michigan also warned educational institutions to prepare for significant budget cuts. ACC proposed to meet these constraints by considering staff cutbacks in departments with declining enrollment.
In April, ACC notified the instructor who taught freshman level courses in Concrete Technology of a possible layoff. The administration's plan was to open freshman enrollment every other year to consolidate faculty. This would close enrollment to the 2011 incoming freshman class. To many, this would have been the beginning of the program's end.
Coming together
Fortunately, in a three-week period, a dynamic group of alumni, industry leaders, current employers of graduates, and the program's advisory board pleaded the case for continuing annual freshman enrollment. Th eir reasoning was solid: There are more jobs available than current graduates. And as the industry starts to recover, the Concrete Degree graduate would continue to be in demand. Supporters believed better promotion was the program's challenge.
They were heard. After meeting with the industry, ACC Board of Trustees Chairman John Briggs and Joynton announced freshman enrollment would open for the fall. "Th is course correction comes in response to strong support and offers to help with recruiting and contributions to the program from advisory committee members, graduates of the program, ACC employees, and community members," said Joynton.
The school has announced two initiatives to encourage incoming students to enroll by July 14.
First, the ACC Foundation is making available 20 $500 new Concrete Tech scholarships, each designated for first-year students entering the program this fall. Th ese scholarships are off ered on a first-come, first-serve basis. To receive the scholarship, students must apply to ACC and enroll in the Concrete Tech program for the fall 2011 semester, which starts in August.
The department hosts an open house on July 12. Attendees will tour ACC's World Center for Concrete Technology, meet with faculty, and learn about financial aid. Th en students will then take placement testing and enroll in classes.
To learn more about the Concrete Technology program, contact Mike Kollien at 989-358-7339 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Concrete on Facebook
To help keep the recently formed ACC Concrete Technician community together, Gregg Schefferly started a Facebook account called Green Cement. "I hope this could allow some of the orginal graduates to interact with the more recent graduates," says Schefferly, a former Concrete Technology program instructor. He launched the account to enable everyone to stay in touch and help one another in their careers.
"The graduates of the Concrete Technology program are a family and I believe this site will foster better communication," he said.

How Oklahoma and Auburn Met in the 1972 Sugar Bowl
The switch in the Sugar Bowl kickoff time to noon had exactly the anticipated effect: The ratings were fine - for a half. As soon as Texas-Notre Dame got under way the viewers changed channels. Tennessee-Air Force went into four million homes with an 8.3 rating, the same as 1970. Texas-Notre Dame was beamed into 20 million homes. The wipeout caused ABC to start thinking of a radical change in time - a New Year's Eve game.
It was strange, this merry-go-round the Sugar Bowl had boarded. Because of something out of its control - the segregation legislation of the 1950s - the Sugar Bowl entered an era of essentially regional games. Because of it, and some extraordinarily bad fortune when race was no longer an issue, its television ratings were weak. The Orange and Cotton Bowls had, conversely, gotten stronger with television. It added up to this: The Dallas and Miami games received more television money because of ratings. New Orleans didn't do as well but could hardly do better since its network, ABC, was reluctant to provide more money, money that could be used to attract better teams for the higher ratings.
What ABC wanted, beginning with the 1972 game, was a Monday night, prime-time attraction. In this case, ABC was talking about January 3. The Mid-Winter Sports Association was opposed, though it realized its $500,000 contract was up for renewal and that outcome could depend upon the ratings of the next Sugar Bowl.
The parties compromised. The Sugar Bowl stayed on New Year's Day, but agreed to move its kickoff back to 11 a.m. where most of the attraction would be unopposed.
The Big Eight Conference, where Nebraska, Oklahoma, and Colorado held sway, lorded over the 1971 polls. Alabama and cross-state rival Auburn were the standard-bearers in the South. Penn State was the best in the East, and Notre Dame held its usual magic in the rankings. It was the Big Eight and SEC teams that were most coveted. The only question was the match-up. Nebraska, ranked No. 1 all season and leaning to New Orleans, and No. 2 Oklahoma would play in the regular season finale for the Big Eight championship. Also undefeated. No. 4 Alabama was to play No. 5-ranked Auburn for the SEC title in their last game.
Of course, the selections would have to be made before those outcomes. The Orange Bowl wanted the schools to put off committing to the bowls until the championships were resolved; then the Nebraska-Oklahoma and Alabama-Auburn winners would be welcomed to Miami, and the losers to New Orleans. The Sugar wouldn't agree to this and neither would the schools. Miami had to take its chances, too.
ABC wanted to pair Alabama and Penn State. For sheer glamour and business, Alabama-Oklahoma was the people's choice.
New Orleans' prospects were excellent. On a motion by the Executive Committee, Arnus Callery was sent to Tuscaloosa the weekend of the bowl selections. He was to invite Alabama and consult with Bear Bryant on an opponent. After Alabama's Saturday afternoon game, Bryant asked Callery to meet him at his office at 6 a.m. Sunday.
Bryant told Callery that he had made a decision and wanted to go to the Sugar Bowl. Assured the bowl most certainly wanted him, Bryant said, "I think I'll call Chuck (Fairbanks, the Oklahoma coach) and see if we can't have a national championship game for New Orleans," said Bear to a startled Callery. And Fairbanks agreed. The only thing Bryant asked of Callery was to wait until noon Monday to announce it.
On the phone with the Sugar Bowl at noon, Callery told the committee members things were looking good, but Bryant didn't want to say anything until noon the following day. He couldn't be more explicit than that. The rest of the afternoon Callery was out of phone reach, driving to Birmingham and then flying to New Orleans. And while Callery was traveling, Auburn Coach Ralph "Shug" Jordon was putting the squeeze on the Executive Committee. Jordan wanted his team invited to the Sugar Bowl and if he didn't get an immediate invitation, he would not wait until Monday. He wouldn't play in New Orleans - win, lose, or draw.
Auburn was undefeated, untied, 5th-ranked, and readying for an SEC championship game. It had a Heisman-Trophy-winning quarterback in Pat Sullivan and was an excellent, exciting offensive football team.
In an emergency meeting Sunday afternoon the Executive Committee of the Sugar Bowl agreed to accept Auburn.
"When I got home," Callery remembered, "I had a message to call Bernie Grenrood immediately. Bernie asked me to meet him at his house. 'I have terrible news,' he told me when I arrived. "The committee called an emergency meeting at 4 o'clock this afternoon and picked Auburn."
"I was just frozen when I heard," said Callery. "We had, in essence, already invited two teams that morning - Alabama and Oklahoma. Now we had invited another one. I had to pour myself a couple of drinks before I called Coach Bryant. It must have looked like I was a fraud. You can't print what Bryant said when I told him. He did tell me to tell the Sugar Bowl that he was going to beat the hell out of Auburn."
And he did. Alabama walloped Auburn, 31-7, and Nebraska edged Oklahoma 35-31 in a game matching two of college football's all-time teams. Those results set up a national championship game for Miami and a runner-up game in the Sugar. It was just what Miami was angling for, but this time New Orleans kayoed itself.
Auburn-Oklahoma wasn't a bad match, pairing an awesome Sooner ground game against a devastating Auburn aerial display. The Sugar could have been in far worse shape. But it was still a runner-up game.
Recap excerpted from the book "Sugar Bowl Classic: A History" by Marty Mulé, who covered the game and the organization for decades for the New Orleans Times-Picayune.

Infant Seats May Have Buckle Issues
Photo credit: PNC/Photodisc/Getty Images
In addition to millions of convertible car seats being recalled back in February, Graco has now added 1.9 million infant car seats in order to solve the problem of buckle clips that become difficult to use.
Product description: This recall focuses on the following infant car seat models and these specific manufacture dates.
- SnugRide and SnugRide Classic Connect: March 1, 2011 through May 31, 2013
- Snugride 30 and SnugRide Classic Connect 30: July 1, 2010 through Jan. 31, 2013
- Snugride 35 SnugRide Classic Connect 35: May 1, 2011 through Jan. 31, 2013
- SnugRide Click Connect 40: June 1, 2012 through Dec. 31, 2012
- Aprica A30: July 1, 2011 through April 30, 2012
Where/when it was sold: These recalled car seats were sold at a variety of retail stores and online from 2010 through 2014.
Reason for the recall: The buckles on these car seats can become increasingly hard to unbuckle and this may be compounded by dried liquids or spilled food. They can also become stuck in the latched position. There have been no reports of injuries.
What you need to do: You should continue to use your car seat, but you will need to replace the buckle so you can get your child in and out of the seat easily. If your car seat is affected by this recall, you can order a new buckle here.
Company information: You can contact Graco at 800-345-4109 Monday through Friday from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m. or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com.

From Wikipedia:
"Surfer's Ear is the common name for exostosis (abnormal bone growth) within the ear canal. Over time irritation from cold wind and water cause the bone surrounding the ear canal to develop lumps of new bony growth which constrict the ear canal. The condition is so named due to its prevalence among cold water surfers."
Requires surgery to remove the growths and hear normally again. Wearing a hood helps to prevent it.

Collectible baseball books
Talking of baseball, our friends at Fine Books & Collections magazine have provided a fascinating article on rare baseball books. Now I can grasp the concepts behind many rare cricket books but baseball is not my strong point so this article was an education for me.
While the historians hit for accuracy in their books, the autobiographies of players often swing and miss by miles. Many early players were barely literate, and if the books weren't ghostwritten, then their stories were as whitewashed as Tom Sawyer's fence.

EDITORIALS>>U.S. prosecutor demoted over bullying e-mail
By GARRICK FELDMAN
Leader editor
A deputy prosecutor in the U.S. attorneys office in Little Rock has fantasies about owning this newspaper.
Robert Govar of Lonoke formerly chief of the criminal division in the U.S. attorneys office in Little Rock whos now been demoted threatened to sue me last week over a column I wrote about him and his buddy Jay Campbell, the crooked cop who was sentenced to 40 years in prison, along with his wife Kelly, who received a 20-year sentence.
The deputy prosecutor fired off an hysterical e-mail from his office, predicting he would win a $50 million judgment against us, so wed better get ready to turn The Leader over to him.
I hope you and some of your sources have fifty million dollars but, if you dont, take good care of my newspaper, he wrote Friday morning, acting as if he already owned the place.
Imagine Govar as a newspaper publisher: Govar probably would have reported the Campbell trial more favorably toward his friends. He thinks weve ruined his reputation because we wrote hed been hanging out with Campbell too long.
A lot of people think Govar sullied his reputation long before we wrote about him. (See his complete e-mail on p. 7A.) His colleagues in law enforcement consider Govar arrogant and boorish who should have been dismissed from his job a long time ago.
In their heyday, Campbell and Govar were both known as bullies as they worked together on various criminal investigations.
Two peas in a pod thats how a law-enforcement official characterized the pair when he heard about Govars ridiculous e-mail.
Fortunately, Govars boss, U.S. Attorney Tim Griffin, doesnt think his employees should write outrageous e-mails on government computers, on government time, using their government title to intimidate the press. And he probably doesnt want them to be aspiring publishers either.
Govar lost his position after I forwarded his e-mail to the U.S. attorney on Friday afternoon. Griffin said Govar had not shown him the e-mail before he sent it to me.
Monday morning, Griffin named longtime prosecutor Pat Harris as Govars successor.
Griffin said in a statement to The Leader on Monday, Mr. Govar sent the email without notice to me or approval by me.
Despite the fact that he sent it on DOJ email, on DOJ time and using his official title, he did not speak for the U.S. Attorneys Office for the Eastern District of Arkansas.
Any libel action contemplated by Mr. Govar would be a matter filed in his personal capacity and would not involve the U.S. government.
Govar is unhappy with our coverage of the Campbell trial, which revealed that the former chief criminal prosecutor used Act 309 prison laborers to clear a lot for his new home. Act 309 prisoners are held in local jails while they await transfer to overcrowded state prisons, but they cannot be used as laborers.
Govar testified he didnt know he was using Act 309 inmates when he asked Campbell, who was then Lonoke police chief, to clear Govars land. Govar claims the inmates were paid for their work, but who kept the money?
Former Lonoke Mayor Thomas Privett will be tried for using Act 309 inmates to put up Christmas decorations and to repair his air conditioner at his house.
Griffin is trying to restore confidence in the U.S. attorneys office after the Justice Department fired eight federal prosecutors (including his predecessor Bud Cummins). Im glad hes acted swiftly against a rogue deputy, but Griffin hasnt gone far enough: He should fire Govar if he hopes to bring back respect to the U.S. attorneys office.
E-mail that started furor
Mr. Garrick Feldman,
I just wanted you to know that I will be engaging the services of the best libel lawyers I can find to sue you, your newspaper, The Leader, and Leader Publishing, Inc. Your article, Why didnt feds take this case?, in the April 25, 2007 issue of The Leader contains lies which damage my professional reputation.
You will be receiving a letter from me soon which will provide more details. I hope you and some of your sources have fifty million dollars but, if you dont, take good care of my newspaper. And for Petes sake, if you are going to destroy a professional persons reputation by printing lies, at least get their title correct.
Robert J. Govar
Chief, Criminal Division
United States Attorneys Office
Eastern District of Arkansas

description: Jonny Phillips embraces his inner warrior and learns how a samurai sword is flexible, strong and sharp.

is_us_only: false

title: I Didn't Know That: Samurai Sword

allowUserEmbed: True

credit: National Geographic

transcript:
RICHARD ABMROSE: Now if you're serious about cooking then a really sharp knife is a must and if you look after it then it can last you years, but what about a blade that lasts for a thousand years that's as sharp today as it was when it was first made, for that you need to go to Japan.
NARRATOR: The holy grail in sword making is having a steel which is hard enough to hold an edge but flexible enough to survive heavy combat. The Japanese got round this problem by folding the steel up to fifteen times which knocked out all the impurities.
They also often used different grades of steel for different parts of the blade, typically using a hard steel for the cutting edge and a softer more flexible steel for the spine. And finally they'd control the tempering of the blade by covering the hot sword in layers of clay, the less clay the faster it cools and the harder the edge.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  Now we've seen in countless martial arts movies how samurai swords hack through limbs as if they are made of butter, but are they really that sharp? We're gonna find out.
NARRATOR: To assist Jonny with this task we've recruited the help of historic weapons enthusiast Andy Dean.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Right so what have we got here Andy?
ANDY DEAN:  Well this is a matt soaked... As you feel it's quite damp too, so it's very solid.  Basically if you didn't have any peasants or prisoners to practice on this was second best, either that or green bamboo, the idea being... obviously you can see the thickness or it and you can feel the weight of it...
JONNY PHILLIPS: What's that to replicate someone's arm.
ANDY DEAN:  Yeah neck arm.
JONNY PHILLIPS: Really.
ANDY DEAN:  Yeah. I mean but you'll see that it's not much of a problem either way.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  So it's gonna go through that?  Because that really does feel quite dense.
ANDY DEAN:  With my lack of ability I'm sure the sword will compensate for me and we'll be able to do this.
NARRATOR: Now if you missed that here it is again. Samurai swords wow.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  Wow Andy that was really impressive.
ANDY DEAN:  Thank you.
JONNY PHILLIPS:  That's gone clean through that really is a clean cut.
ANDY DEAN:  Well you can see the design the curve of the sword and the steel that's in it makes it a fantastic clinical weapon.
