The analysis of the semantics of +RTS -s and the list of needed new events
A sample output of +RTS -s, annotated with new require events. More concrete proposals will follow.
237,179,528 bytes allocated in the heap
An event for memory allocation and freeing memory via GC.
52,785,584 bytes copied during GC
An event for copying during GC.
17,272,336 bytes maximum residency (5 sample(s))
An and event for that ("only checked during major garbage collections").
6,493,328 bytes maximum slop
An event for slop, probably emitted rarely, also.
45 MB total memory in use
Can probably be calculated from allocation and deallocation.
(0 MB lost due to fragmentation)
Ask JaffaCake? the following formula means:
(peak_mblocks_allocated * BLOCKS_PER_MBLOCK * BLOCK_SIZE_W - hw_alloc_blocks * BLOCK_SIZE_W) / (1024 * 1024 / sizeof(W_))
in particular what is the difference between peak_mblocks_allocated and hw_alloc_blocks.
Tot time (elapsed) Avg pause Max pause Gen 0 448 colls, 0 par 0.04s 0.04s 0.0001s 0.0016s Gen 1 5 colls, 0 par 0.07s 0.07s 0.0149s 0.0386s
Split the current GC events into generations and into seq/par (if RequestParGC is not enough to tell seq/par). We don't want to report the CPU time, only the elapsed time, and that's fine. With the current GC events only summarized information is available.
Parallel GC work balance: 1.00 (6391526 / 6375794, ideal 2)
This is quite convoluted: total words copied during parallel GCs divided by the average over all parallel GCs of maximal number of words copied by any thread in a single par GC. Events needed: the events added above suffice, but quite a bit of extra state will have to be maintained when reading the events. Perhaps +RTS -s could be modified to make this figure simpler?
MUT time (elapsed) GC time (elapsed) Task 0 (worker) : 0.04s ( 0.38s) 0.13s ( 0.17s) Task 1 (worker) : 0.00s ( 0.55s) 0.00s ( 0.00s) Task 2 (bound) : 0.41s ( 0.41s) 0.13s ( 0.13s) Task 3 (worker) : 0.00s ( 0.55s) 0.00s ( 0.00s)
Ask JaffaCake? how the "tasks" relate to the "threads" for which we generate events. Perhaps in the existing GC evens add the info about which task does the job. BTW, is the time between event GCIdle and GCWork counted as GC time of the task? Generally, is GCIdle useful for us here in any way?
SPARKS: 300001 (17739 converted, 282262 overflowed, 0 dud, 0 GC'd, 0 fizzled)
Tell JaffaCake? that the example and description for that at
needs updating (not sure for which GHC version, though). Otherwise, we have enough events for that (we calculate this using the SparkCounters? events, but we could also use the precise per-spark events).
INIT time 0.00s ( 0.00s elapsed) MUT time 0.42s ( 0.41s elapsed) GC time 0.29s ( 0.13s elapsed) EXIT time 0.00s ( 0.00s elapsed) Total time 0.71s ( 0.55s elapsed)
(Note that there may be more positions here, e.g., for profiling.) We can sum up the times from GC events. For other stats, we'd need the MUT figure, but it's not obvious if we manage to get it from all the thread (task) events that we have and will add above. It's also not clear if adding events needed to get the other times is worth it. After all the other events are added, let's see if we can get any more of these summary times, perhaps by adding a minor event emitted just once. Note that the INIT time is necessary for the Productivity figure below (it does not count as "productive time" in +RTS -s)..
%GC time 89.5% (75.3% elapsed)
Ask JaffaCake? why this line is in the docs, but not in the output of +RTS -s I've got.
Alloc rate 564,074,971 bytes per MUT second
The events added above should suffice, except that we use elapsed time, not CPU time.
Productivity 59.0% of total user, 76.6% of total elapsed
The events added above should be enough. Again. we only do the elapsed case.

Certified Official's Exam
Common questions and answers about the Certified Official's Exam
Who has to take the PDGA Certified Officials Exam?
Tournament Directors of PDGA Sanctioned events are required to be a Certified Official. Starting in 2011 passing the Official's Exam is now required for all amateurs and professional competitors playing in a National Tour Elite Series or PDGA Major event.
Has this requirement gone into effect already? Is it being enforced?
I have to ask because I noticed a lot of people competed in an M tournament this past weekend who aren't PDGA members, so how can they be certified officials? What's going on? Did they have to join, but the membership is just not listed as current yet?

Pump Action for Trap?
Hello all,
I currently don't own a shotgun and know almost nothing about them. I am interested in shooting trap and was told that a pumper would be just fine for me as long as it had modified or adjustable chokes. Most things I read about trap/skeet people are using high dollar semi's.
So is it blasphemy for me to get a pump action? If it's okay, which one would be a good starting point?
If not which semi would be good? In all honesty I dont want to spend over $700 if I don't have to.

You can start shooting Trap with a pump gun ... It isn't probably the optimum gun, if you were to get real serious about it, and get into competition but ....doesn't mean it won't be fine.
You don't need a Trap specific gun -- to shoot Trap. If the guns fits you / so it hits where you look ...its fine. Most traditional guns with angled combs are referred to as "field combs" ...and while a lot of Trap shooters want a gun that shoots "high" in terms of 70% / 30% so they can float the bird over the barrel / if you have a gun that is 50% / 50% you just have to cover the bird and kill it vs floating it over the barrels.
The pump gun I like the best is the Browning BPS Hunter model / they also make a Trap model. But the Hunter model is selling for around $ 500 - $600 and its a good long term gun. I would go with a 28" barrel on a pump gun.
I will also tell you my own Trap gun / is a Browning XT Trap, Citori O/U 32" barrels at around 10lbs... I prefer it over any single barrel Trap gun / like a BT-99 ....and with an O/U you can use the same gun for Trap Singles, Continental where you get 2 shells to kill one bird, or for Doubles. But the XT is retailing new in the $ 2,800 range ....but its a very good gun ..if you want to go that way.
But I shot a lot of Trap when I was first learning / and budget was tight .... the Browning BPS was / and still is a very good gun. I still have the BPS's I bought in the late 70's ....

It sounds like you are an entry level shooter so you may want to consider an entry level shotgun. Find a nice, older used Remington 870 that will accept screw in chokes. I've had 870's, Browning O/U's, side by side's and I even like my Mossberg 835 for trap as well as hunting. The current batch of Stevens O/U's are really sweet for around $500. Several friends have them and really like them. There's some good Italian shotguns that won't break the bank too. Soo many shotguns, so little $.
Discover the sport, see if you like it and move up from there. If you like it you'll get in to reloading and have to spend $ there and eventually for another shotgun, more gear, a large yard to practice on your own, hunting dogs, etc.
Good luck, enjoy, have fun.

i shot by first strait 25 with a rem trap 870 with a morgan recoil pad. you can find good used ones for 400-500. i shoot a browning broadway trap and a browning BT-100 trap now, but i could go back to a rem 870 trap with ease. eastbank.

Is the only difference between the Hunter and Trap the 2"? Would someone even notice the difference. Both of those look like good choices to me.
I'm pretty sure I will never compete in anything shooting related (I'm half blind) so that's why I didn't want to break the bank and have the boss screaming at me.
Thanks again!

No, there are a lot of differences in the Hunter vs the Trap model in the BPS - and yes, people will notice .....but that isn't the issue.
The question is which one fits you / fits your needs better. The Hunter model is chambered in 3" ( the Trap model is 2 3/4" ) so you can't shoot 3" shells in the Trap model ( 3" shells are more for hunting ..).
There is a difference in the receivers / but its cosmetic. The Trap model is only available in a 30" barrel / the Hunter can be purchased in a 26" or 28" barrel. The Hunter has no mid-rib bead .. There are differences in stock specs too - length of pull, drop at comb, drop at heel.
Not to be rude / but shotguns do not come in one size fits all. But at this point, I doubt you know what really fits you ....
Look at it this way / if you buy the Hunter model, in a 28" barrel - and you don't like shooting Trap, or hunting birds, etc ....down the road, its a real easy gun to sell. The Trap model not so much / because most of us wouldn't pick a "pump" gun as a serious or semi-serious Trap shooter...
If $ 500 is in your budget / you're better off with the Hunter model in the BPS. But there are a lot of good used guns around too. You might consider going to a club / maybe renting or asking some shooters what they're shooting / why ....they may let you fire their guns .....
If you get into "Trap" shooting / a good Over Under ( like the Browning XT ) will be on your list pretty quickly / but it doesn't mean a good pump gun is a waste of money either. Like I think I said, I still have the BPS's I bought in the late 70's even though I don't shoot them much anymore - I'll never get rid of them.
The Browning BPS is a good entry level gun / I've bought a number of them for grandkids, etc when they turned 16 ...... If they really get into "clay Target games" ....then I'll probably consider getting them a good O/U down the road ( maybe for college graduation / good grades / a wedding gift or something ....it just depends.

It sounds like you have a sight problem .....so all the more reason to go into clay target shooting slowly ( vs higher end $ 3,000 guns right away ).
I shoot with a very accomplished Skeet shooter / that only has one eye - lost it when he was very young .....but he takes a back seat to noone on the competitive scene / even at 68 yrs old now .... running 100 straight in Skeet is not that big a deal for him ....( in 12, 20 or 28ga ...for that matter ) and in fact, he's probably best in a 28ga.
I've developed a "blurry vision" problem in my dominant eye, in the last 2 yrs or so .....its a muscle problem ....muscle gets lazy / target just blurrs out. The good news, for me, is it probably won't get any worse ...but it comes and goes. Its worse in "poor light" ......but if you go into these clay target games, just to have some laughs, get a good serviceable shotgun ...maybe take a lesson or two ....its a great pastime. I've enjoyed shooting clays now for about 40 yrs .....and expect to do it ( some days poorly ) for another 30 yrs or more ....
Nobody really cares what gun you shoot / just be a gentleman ...follow the rules and etiquette ....and you can't go wrong.

The first time I shot trap - at a charity event. Shot two 50 round sets. Everyone on my team had OUs. Me, my old beat-up Beretta Al390 (a semi). I shot 81 out of 100. I think that is pretty good for a trap virgin. I had my Highflyer modified tube that I bought for ducks and geese and it is all I use - sporting clays, trap, 5-stand and in the dove field. I don't mess around changing chokes. I am thinking about a pump so I don't pelt the guy to my right when shooting. I am going to try the rubberband trick first though. I am a hunter first and clay buster second.
I'd get something that is affordable and fits you well enough. If you really get competitive then you can step-up if you want. Too much of shotgunning seems to be fashion and bragging rights.
The key is have fun. I'd buy a used pump and if you decide to change, it is easy enough to sell and being used you won't take a bath on it.

Lots of people have shot trap successfully for many years with Winchester Model 12's, Remington 870 Wingmasters and Browning BPS pump guns. Probably lots of other brands as well. Some might disagree with me, but as long as the gun shoots where you point it, you can shoot trap just fine with it. Sadly, the Model 12 is no longer manufactured and used ones can be pricey. The Browning BPS is in your price range and a darn nice pump gun. Some ranges get excited because of the bottom eject - the less observant can't see that the chamber is empty and the action open. The Remington 870 in one of it's many variants will work fine. Maybe have a look at a Benelli Super Nova in addition to some of the others just to compare.

I wouldn't call it blasphemy. I just started shooting trap back in October with two old guns my grandpa gave me. One being a Ithaca 37 pump. I'd like to buy a nice O/U someday, but I think a pump is a perfectly good gun for a beginner. I certainly can't blame my novice shortcomings on my guns.

JesusQueen, Let me toss my 2 cents in with BigJim on the Browning BPS used or new. I have one that is about 20-25 years old. It is the same gun he mentioned. The 28" bbl. is nice because it lets you reach out a bit farther. The bottom eject is nice and so is the top safety, makes the BPS an easy gun to use yourself or to re-sell with righties or lefties in mind. Don't forget you can always turn the single switch from the repeating position, if you want to practice with 1 shell at a time, instead of multiple shells in the chamber.

That will work fine for your empties
Pumps will work fine for singles, but shucking the pump MIGHT give you some issues on doubles.
Shoot light loads and get the gun ti fit you and recoil abuse goes down a lot.

you can shoot skeet and trap just fine with a pump, but its going to take a little extra practice to be able to do it as well as someone with an O/U or a semi auto.
I have a pump and can shoot three hand thrown targets and some people can shoot more. the world record i believe is 9 clays with a pump, but of course that is by Tom Knapp himself.
ps- this is with a stock mossberg 500 20 gauge. with a shotgun it doesnt matter how much it costs as long as it is reliable and you can shoot it quickly and it fits you well. practice is more important than anything.
I would bet on a guy who practiced every week with a lousy old beat up shotgun that a guy who practiced once a month with a really fancy $5k O/U... practice makes perfect.

I personally prefer a pump to an o/u when shooting singles. I would suggest an 870 Trap in your budget spread. I find it to be more comfortable to shoot on trap than my BPS.

I shoot at some of the trap ranges in the local farming area, most of the kids (hi School age) are shooting Remington 870 express models, and doing very well. Have owned a number of trap guns (o/u, single barrels and autos) and still prefer to use an 870 or Browning A5, but am a B class shooter. Doubles are more of a challenge with a pump but a lot of people can shoot them OK. For singles and handicap I don't think a pump is any better or worse than the other action types. JMHO : Bill
The best gun is the one you have when you really need one

No problems.
Once upon a time the Winchester Model 12 Trap was THE Gun to have for ATA singles and handicap.
If you wanted something REALLY nice in those days you could buy a Remington Model 31, "The Ballbearing Cornsheller" which I and my neighbor the gunsmith consider a superior pumpgun.
Nowadays the Remington 870 is the default.
I guess you could get by with a Mossberg. They made some real trap guns at one time with a tall Simmons rib that probably cost more than the rest of the gun, but those are no longer made.
A field grade gun will do, though most people have to "blot out" the targets to break them on the rise. A trap gun will have a higher stock comb to let you see the rising targets as you shoot at them. There are all manner of pads and blocks to add on to a field stock to shoot trap.

While I was shooting ATA trap I used a R-1100 Trap and then a B-682x combo. The Beretta worked just fine for an entry level trap specific gun. Nevertheless, I always kept my eyes open for nice Winchester Model-12, Pigeon Grade Trap gun. I kept hearing of great deals being turned up, but during several years of searching all I ever ran into were owners who knew exactly what their M-12 PG's were worth, and they usually wanted more than fair value.

PARIS—France wants to know who's using bitcoins—and then tax them.
The country's finance ministry said Friday that it plans by the end of the year to implement new rules for financial institutions that will require bitcoin distributors and other platforms to collect and verify the identity of their users before opening accounts.
The ministry also said it has – effective Friday — updated its tax rules to make profits from bitcoin sales subject to capital gains taxes, following the examples of the U.S., U.K., and other countries. As part of the new rules, France will also classify bitcoins as assets that add to owners' wealth, making them subject to the France's "fortune tax."
At least some members France's bitcoin startup scene reacted with cautious optimism to the rules.
"I always considered anonymity with bitcoins a myth," said Thomas France, founder of Maison du Bitcoin, which promotes French bitcoin startups, saying the new regulations "add legitimacy" to the crypto-currency. "All serious platforms already have 'know your customer' and 'anti-money-laundering' rules in place," Mr. France said.
France is the latest government to grapple with how to gain a measure of control over the five-year-old virtual currency—while law enforcement cracks down on using them illegally.
The European Union's banking arm earlier this month warned financial institutions against holding virtual currencies until the bloc establishes uniform rules.

A new report shows Minnesota has been able to preserve and develop affordable housing, despite the tough economic climate.
The report, from the McKnight Foundation and non-profit HousingLink, is based on four years of data.
It found that Minnesota housing groups leveraged federal dollars to produce more than 4,000 new rental units, preserve existing properties, and improve access to down-payment assistance for homeowners.
"In large part due to a spike in federal investment through the stimulus package, Minnesota has been able to maintain or improve past levels of production," said HousingLink researcher Dan Hylton.
More affordable housing is needed as more people experience the effects of the downturn, he said.
"Housing that is targeted at low- to moderate-income families with the idea that sort of the market rate, the standard rate that rental is going at is not really accessible to significant segments of our population," Hylton said.
The report also highlights the home ownership gap between white and non-white households. That gap has widened from 31 percent to 36 percent in the last two years, and minority and immigrant households are more likely to experience foreclosure.

Tell Congress to vote Yes for President Obama's clean energy budget
In the coming days and weeks, Congress will consider a budget resolution based on President Obama's proposed federal budget for fiscal year 2010. The president's proposal is a blueprint for major visionary investments that would direct billions of dollars toward the development of clean energy technologies and green jobs.
It is particularly important for Congress to pass a budget resolution that reflects the president's commitment to solving global warming. Capping global warming pollution is the cornerstone of the comprehensive effort we need to create jobs, improve our national security and protect our planet. Every year the auction and allocation of global warming pollution permits would generate billions of dollars, which would then be used for middle class tax cuts and clean energy technology research and development.
The president's proposed budget also includes important funding increases across a broad spectrum of environmental programs, many of which were slashed during the Bush administration. Specific proposals include investments in clean energy, clean water and public transportation; increasing the Environmental Protection Agency's budget; and cleaning up the nation's worst hazardous waste sites.

Eight Points, Nine Seconds PreviewReview: Tim Donahue: Jeff Foster - Rare
Jeff Foster formally announced his retirement on Monday night. I watched
him play in Blue-and-Gold for 13 seasons. Then I sat in on his retirement
press conference. Then watched him do one-on-one after one-on-one with
local media. However, I dont think I quite grasped what was happening
until I got the chance to talk to David West about him.
Hes one of those guys, man, you know...rare, West opened.
When West said that, my eyeballs clicked. It was a simple, but almost
perfect way to sum up #10 for the Pacers. When taken as a whole, Jeff
Foster has carved out an incredibly rare career.
He played 13 seasons with one team in a league in which thats virtually
unheard of, even for stars. Hes displayed a savants ability at both
rebounding and getting under the skin of the opponent. Foster has seen
some of the best days of this Pacer franchise. More impressively,
however, he has lived through its darkest days and come out the other
side with his dignity and reputation in tact.
West went on, Not a big statistical guy, in terms of, hes not going out
and playing for stats. Hes playing the game the right way in terms of
doing whats necessary to win games. One thing we always used to talk
about when we would scout against Pacers with him, is that you cant
underestimate his impact. Hes not gonna be out there looking for his
stuff, but hes going to be looking to make plays for the team.
Jeff Foster is a guy who averaged fewer than 5 points per game over his
career and never averaged more than 7. Yet, all he did was make his
team better. In the summer of 2003, when the Pacers lost All-Star center
Brad Miller and got little in return, Foster took the starting job over. His
quickness helped transform what was a slow-footed team, and he was no
small contributor to the franchise-record 61-win season. For each of the
past five years, the team has performed better with him on the floor
(according to BasketballValue.com).
Jeff is an easy guy not to get. I mentioned to West that my appreciation
for Foster came from watching him so much, but that opposing fans would
often dismiss him. He was the guy who had no offense, looked awkward,
and couldnt even hit lay ups.
Yeah, but hes destroying you, West responded. Hes beating on your
bigs. Hes wearing you down. Hes not out there playing the game for
himself. Hes giving it all for the team. Thats rare. You dont find too
many guys like that around the NBA anymore. Its become an I League.
An I...Me sorta league. For him to be able to stay around as long as he
did and be effective is a testament...CONTINUE READING AT 8p9s
Prokhorov Pontificates: Nonsense rules of N B and A really bust my borscht. In mother

Apparently not true when try to own Magic Dwights. Tonight
important time of vengeance for two years against the Indy of
Apolis where we were dropped like baby on Odessa steps. This
time we say "We want to own pace cars" and then we shoot pace
cars. If team don't win, my GM Billy Jean King will make so.

text: No thread for the upcoming game. It should be an easy win, but the Colts play to the level of their opponent a lot. We need to stop Stacy, and the O-line needs to find some way to stop Robert Quinn. If Franklin, Redding, and RJF keep it up, we can win by 3 or 4 scores. If the front 7 has an off-day, this could be very close.

Sometime very early on Friday morning I'll start two threads.
The first one will be a list of NBA players taken from NBA.com. This will give you a list to help you with your draft selections. As players are chosen I will remove them from the list. I do have a life so if I'm slow in updating the list, please bear with me. I will add players to the list if they're signed by an NBA team after the list has been posted.
Also on this page will be the complete draft order, rounds 1 thru 12. Once an owner has made his selection I will post his name.
I hope this thread will only be used to show which players are still available & the list of those already chosen.
I will start a 2nd thread where we all can annouce our draft selections & have general discussions on the draft.
I hope this works.

I posted this on the league site as well but I think more people will see it here.
Our draft is moving along so well I see no need to use a draft clock. If for some reason we begin to drag our feet then I might reconsider but as of now, things are going great.

Comments about Osprey MUTANT 28:
I've used the past and current generation of the Osprey Mutant and this is my favorite. This pack is always with me on ice climbing trips or when I'm visiting a sport climbing crag. It'll hold what you need it to, and the rope/helmet carry system works great. The "reverse bucket" opening makes loading bigger items like a rope or light trad rack easy. The pack carries well with lighter loads and does a reasonable job when you push the load limits. I do find it necessary to buckle the hipbelt behind the pack when wearing a harness. The ice tool attachment system, while fantastic for almost all tools, is a bit spotty if you have a larger gap in the head of your ice tool. Overall, a great pack that I use through all seasons.

Hello guys,
The earthly realms have four continents, they are:
This is the place we live. All Buddha appears here. The people here are five to six feet tall and their length of life varies between 80,000 and 10 years.
is located in the east, and is shaped like a semicircle with the flat side pointing westward (i.e., towards Sumeru). It is 7,000 yojanas in extent (Vibhajyavāda tradition) or has a perimeter of 6,350 yojanas of which the flat side is 2,000 yojanas long (Sarvāstivāda tradition). Its tree is the acacia. The people here are about 12 feet (3.7 m) tall and they live for 250 years.
Aparagoyāna is located in the west, and is shaped like a circle with a circumference of about 7,500 yojanas (Sarvāstivāda tradition). The tree of this continent is a giant Kadamba tree. The human inhabitants of this continent do not live in houses but sleep on the ground. They are about 24 feet (7.3 m) tall and they live for 500 years.
Uttarakuru is located in the north, and is shaped like a square. It has a perimter of 8,000 yojanas, being 2,000 yojanas on each side. This continent's tree is called a kalpavṛkṣa (Pāli: kapparukkha) or kalpa-tree, because it lasts for the entire kalpa. The inhabitants of Uttarakuru are said to be extraordinarily wealthy. They do not need to labor for a living, as their food grows by itself, and they have no private property. They have cities built in the air.

NECA Taps Tarantino Western...
NECA continues to show diversity by introducing new action figure styles and sizes. In addition to their tried-and-true 7-inch figure format and successful new quarter scale collectibles, NECA will be experimenting with 8-inch MEGO-style action figures. The license? Quentin Tarantino's upcoming western, DJANGO UNCHAINED.
Currently available for pre-order at select retailers, such as BigBadToyStore.com and ToyWiz.com, the Django Unchained figure line is listed to include:
- Django (Jamie Foxx)
- Dr. King Schultz (Christoph Waltz)
- Calvin Candie (Leonardo DiCaprio)
- Stephen (Samuel L. Jackson)
- Broomhilda von Shaft (Kerry Washington)
- Butch Pooch (James Remar)
Each poseable 8" figure will feature tailored fabric western clothing, authentic weapons and accessories, as well as the likenesses of the famous hollywood talent in the film. The line is scheduled for release this December. Django Unchained opens in theaters December 25, 2012.
While photos of the figures have not yet been released, the idea of MEGO-style Django Unchained action figures sounds like a perfect plan on paper. It's no secret that Tarantino's films have strongly been influenced by classic underground cinema - be it grindhouse, kung fu, or spaghetti westerns. So modern/retro toys for a modern/retro movie? It's a concept with style, though how well these "vintage" figures sell to today's young collectors will depend partly on how big of a hit the film is. Either way it'll be interesting to see what NECA comes up with....
To insure your action figure collection, get in touch with Collectibles Insurance, the official insurance company of the Figures.com network. Say "Figures.com" to get 5% off your first term premiums.
To buy action figures, take a look at BigBadToyStore.com, Toynk.com, PastGenerationToys.com, BriansToys.com, ToyWiz.com, and MonkeyDepot.com.
For action figures, statues and sculptures, go to CSMooreStudio.com.

There was too much SEPTA news this week to fit into a couple of blog postings. So it's Friday, so let's leave you with these:
- A new mural goes up with over 10,000 mosaic'ed pieces in the concourse under the Clothespin.
- SEPTA's considering a convoluted new transfer policy that I'm sure we'll have much more to talk about in the future.
- Philadelphia Magazine rider experiences "the grossest moment of [her] life" on SEPTA.
- Some robbers hold up a Chinese restaurant in Southwest Philly, getting away with a couple hundred bucks and the real score: several SEPTA tokens.
- A robbery on the 52 bus that's captured on video.

ABERSYCHAN School pupils have unveiled a commemorative garden to mark the centenary of the start of the First World War, as part of an emotional and moving ceremony with ex-servicemen.
Part of a project to deter anti-social behaviour in the area, the garden – at Union Street car park – is a collaboration between residents, the local authority, and the school. Support and funding was provided by Bron Afon and Keep Wales Tidy, with Cllr Gwyneira Clark behind the original idea. Abersychan year eight pupils came up with a range of designs but settled on one shaped as a poppy.
They planted the garden with the help of Cwrt Landscapes and held a special ceremony a day later.
Dr Susan Golding, from the school, said it was an event she would remember for a long time.
"Ex-service men from Blaenavon and Cwmbran joined us and the reading of the exhortation, along with a minutes silence, acted as a fitting tribute to those men and women who have and who continue to fight to protect our country.
"I hope this project will demonstrate the pride that so many young people have for the area they live in and act as a reminder of the importance of working together to raise a community's aspiration. "
Cllr Clark added: "Today we saw how our future will be in safe hands if we give the young people the opportunity to feel wanted and respected. It was a very moving ceremony and the poem read by the pupils and the last post gave it that special moment for reflection".
A spokesman for Torfaen council, whose environmental team helped the pupils develop ideas, seek funding, and co-ordinate planting, said the garden forms part of the council's wider strategy to increase the number of pollinators throughout the borough.
"The proposals include plans to create a wild flower corridor from Cwmbran to Blaenavon, and to identify other areas suitable for wild flower seeding," he added.

Deputies seek 4th suspect in shooting
Metairie — A 27-year-old Metairie man was wounded during a shooting in a quiet residential neighborhood on Friday morning.
The Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office was still searching for a suspect.
The incident was reported 6000 block of Rickey Street in Metairie around 10 a.m.
Sheriff's spokesman Col. John Fortunato said the victim was shot after being lured back by home by a call from his girlfriend.
The woman called her boyfriend after three armed men and a woman burst into the home demanding drugs. Fortunato said when she couldn't produce the narcotics; they forced her to call the victim.
Police were alerted to the incident by neighbors who heard the commotion, Fortunato said. Multiple deputies responded to the scene and were able to capture a man and woman near the home and another man a few blocks away. The fourth man was still being sought. Fortunato said the names of the suspects likely would not be released until Saturday.
The victim was shot in the "lower extremities," and his wounds were not life-threatening, Fortunato said. The incident and the level of response from the Sheriff's Office, shocked neighbors who were unused to that sort of activity.
One victim wounded in Algiers shooting
New Orleans — New Orleans police are investigating a shooting that happened Thursday afternoon in Algiers.

New Orleans — Police are investigating an armed robbery in the 2300 block of Chartres Street late Thursday night.

Algiers coach accused of sex with student
New Orleans — A softball coach at an Algiers elementary school was arrested Wednesday after authorities say he engaged in an ongoing sexual relationship with a student.
Frank Norris, 23, is accused of having sex with a 15-year-old former student at Martin Behrman Elementary School for more than a year. The girl has since graduated from the school, which goes up to eighth grade.
Police say the relationship was discovered after the girl's mother read her diary and found accounts of trysts. The girl told police that she had intercourse with Norris on Jan. 23 after he stopped her when she was walking to her new high school. Norris was booked with two counts of felony carnal knowledge of a juvenile. The girl said the sexual activity began in a band room at the elementary school.
Police intercept mailed marijuana
Metairie — Two local men were arrested Thursday after authorities reported they had two pounds of marijuana mailed to a Metairie home.
Daron Crawford, 21, of Metairie, and Alfred Stewart III, 23, of Jefferson were booked with marijuana possession, possession of a controlled dangerous substance and a firearm and conspiracy to distribute marijuana. Police said the men had the narcotics mailed to the home inside coffee cans. However, investigators with the United States Postal Service were alerted to the delivery and helped make the arrest.

Research Interests
- Systematics of larvae from temperate Australia
- Distribution of fish larvae in estuarine and coastal waters and links to estuarine nursery habitats
Tony has been working on the identification and ecology of fish larvae in New South Wales waters since 1981. The main focus of his research has been the ecology of fish larvae in estuarine and coastal waters along the New South Wales coast, especially the importance of estuaries as spawning or nursery habitats for fishes. Associated with these ecological studies, he has been collaborating with a number of colleagues at the Australian Museum, University of NSW, CSIRO and the Australian Maritime College, on the identification and development of larval fish in temperate Australian waters.
Lake Macquarie Research
His initial research was based in Lake Macquarie, an estuarine lagoon on the central New South Wales coast. The aim of this research was to determine which species of fish were spawning in the estuary and which species spawned at sea and subsequently recruited to estuarine nursery habitats as larvae or juveniles. As there was only very limited reference literature available at the time, a considerable amount of work was required to identify and describe the developmental stages of the larvae of different species that were caught. Identification and descriptions of larval development is an ongoing task and a major result of this work was the publication of the Larvae of Temperate Australian Fishes: Laboratory Guide for Larval Fish Identification.
Research cruises
Tony has also participated in a number of research cruises investigating the distribution of fish larvae along the NSW coast. He participated in the extensive larval fish sampling program undertaken off Sydney as part of the Deepwater Outfalls Monitoring Program. Data on the distribution of a number of species of larvae in New South Wales waters based on these cruises have been documented in the report A synthesis of existing data on the early life history of southern Australian finfish (FRDC96/103).

JERUSALEM — Cephalon has another suitor in the form of the world's largest generic drug company.
Teva Pharmaceutical Industries said Monday that it would buy Frazer, Pa.-based Cephalon for $6.8 billion, undercutting efforts by Valeant Pharmaceuticals International, which had offered $5.7 billion in March.
The boards of both companies have agreed to the acquisition, equal to $81.50 per share. Cephalon previously had turned down Valeant's offer, prompting the Mississauga, Ontario-based company to take its case directly to Cephalon's shareholders.
Teva said the buyout would create a robust pipeline that includes more than 30 drugs in late-stage clinical trials, enhancing Teva's branded drug portfolio with treatments for cancer, respiratory diseases, pain management and central nervous system disorders.
"We are embarking today on a new and exciting future for Teva's branded business, and we are delighted that we will be working together with the Cephalon team," Teva president and CEO Shlomo Yanai said. "This is transforming for Teva's branded business, as it will help us to deliver on our strategic goal of creating a diversified, multifaceted company."

One year ago today I installed WordPress and starting typing this blog. My main motivation was to give my friends a break from the relentless emails and instant messages I was invading them with. I couldn't stop showing them new audio gear and software I thought was cool. I figured if I started my own blog they could come and visit if they so cared and I would also find new people to have conversations with. I am happy to report I have gained quite a lot of new friends and my old buds are reading the blog too.
Another motivation was to have a place for common questions I was being asked repeatedly. Today if someone asks me a question I have a post I can point them to. Getting an unwanted distored sound from your DAW? Go here: keep-your-channel-faders-low… You don't know how to bring in external hardware into Ableton Live? Go here: use-the-ableton-live-external… By the way if you have a question you want me to try an answer send me an email: email@example.com
Of course as a professional musician having a blog is a must. I've been using Wire to the Ear to share my remixes and new releases. Getting unbiased feedback from strangers should be a priority for any artist. Your friends and family are always going to tell you your music is good.
My goal is to continue to post a balance of original content mixed with the best stuff I find along my online travels. I've had a blast visiting Jomox and doing interviews with people like Dan McPharlin so expect more material like that. I really want to give my fingers a break and get in front of the video camera and do some video posts or even a fancy show. So far the test video posts I did were too geeky to show the world. Eventually I will figure out a way to produce something that I am happy with.
If you want to help support Wire to the Ear all you have to do is go tell your friends to read it! Remember you can also subscribe to the RSS feed by: clicking here
