Canastota Canal Town Museum receives $7,000 grant for mural
CANASTOTA >> The Canastota Canal Town Museum has been awarded $7,000 from the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor Commission in its effort to tell the story of New York's legendary canals through education, recreation, and preservation projects.
The village of Canastota, in partnership with the Canastota Canal Town Museum, received $7,000 to create two murals depicting the village during the heyday of the Erie Canal.
The murals, created by CNY artist Corky Goss, will convey the economic impact of the canal to local communities.
"This grant will further our mission to make Canal Street in Canastota a historic and distinctive place by providing visitors with a visual experience of our economic relationship with the 'Old Erie Canal,' and at the same time, continue our efforts to enhance the appearance of our village," said Canastota Mayor Carla DeShaw.
Nine organizations from Albany to Buffalo received a total of $45,8000 in funding, including three in Central New York: the Canal Town Museum, the H. Lee White Maritime Museum in Oswego and the History Center in Tomkins County in Ithaca.
The Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor spans 524 miles across the full expanse of upstate New York, encompassing the Erie, Cayuga-Seneca, Oswego, and Champlain canals and their historic alignments, as well as more than 230 canal communities. Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor Commission, in partnership with the National Park Service, collaborates with government agencies, communities and organizations to protect and promote the canal corridor for all to use and enjoy. The Erie Canalway Heritage Fund is dedicated to charitable, educational, and civic purposes within the confines of the Erie Canalway National Heritage Corridor.

Actually, there is nothing in the database design preventing a double entry in the repository. Only the application is enforcing data integrity.
You notice that the script is deleting the current version of the application stored, in order to avoid such duplicate.
The real repository has a further control, a UNIQUE key on "name" + "vers" (which is defined NOT NULL) + the file CRC calculated before the update, so that duplicates are harder to pass. This rule relies on the assumption that all application versions are incremented automatically at each build.
Add to this that the ones allowed to update this table are all seasoned developers, who are using the same application to update. They are all disciplined and each one is in charge of a different application, so I didn't have a single case of double entries in this paradigm.
Thanks for your comments.

So next up in "Local Breads" is The Ganachaud Flute. Another yeasted bread, but this one starts off with making a poolish before kicking off the bread.
Quite exciting for NZ, I managed to find a source of flour in bigger sizes (25kg) and with a nice range of ryes, white, wholemeal and odd flours as well. Best thing is they deliver to your door and you can shop online! This is especially beneficial for us folk with broken legs that are marooned at home and can't drive. So I went a bit crazy, bought a 25kg bag of AP, 4 different types of rye, some wholewheat and diastatic malt! I should have read a bit ahead in my book as I will also need some buckwheat flour relatively soonish. Oh well, what's a girl to do but a bit more shopping! So if anyone else in NZ needs to buy some flour, I bought mine from the "My Bread Mix" website.
I hadn't used a poolish in bread making before, but it wasn't exactly tricky - 100% water, 1% yeast, 100% AP flour (flour weight 125g) - mix, cover and stand at RT over night.
The dough consisted of all the poolish (36%), 55% water, 1% yeast, 91% AP flour, 9% cornflour, 2% sea salt (total flour weight 265g) - mix cover and autolyse for 20 mins., knead, ferment at RT for 1.5-2hrs, then shape into 3 x flutes (baguettes) about 12 inches long (230g each). Proof overnight in the fridge 12-24hrs. Score with a single slash, off centre, all the way down the length of the loaf and bake at 250C for 15-20mins (with a handful of ice chucked in).
Unlike the baguette normal, these had a nice firm, blistered crust and a much better flavour.
I presume this is from using a poolish at the start as well as the overnight retardation. I much prefer the texture of these to the baguette normal (which didn't have a very firm crust). The crumb was ok consideriing it was a pretty narrow loaf and only had one fold.
Nice little loaf - for a yeasted bread!
Happiness is making bread

|Finrod, Thingol, Lúthien, Dior, Elwing
|Carcanet of gold, and set therein were gems uncounted from Valinor[1]; later set with a Silmaril[2]
|Craftsmen of Nogrod and Belegost[2]
Blue Mountains[2]
|Notable for
|Containing a Silmaril[2]
|Images of the Nauglamir
The Nauglamír or Necklace of the Dwarves was a famed piece of jewellery; combined with the craft of Dwarves and gems from Valinor it was of great grace and beauty which it gave to its wearer. Despite being loaded with gems, it sat lightly on the neck.[1]
It bore the Silmaril rescued by Beren from the Iron Crown, and it became jewellery more beautiful than anything ever before seen in Arda. But because of the Silmaril it was coveted by the Sons of Fëanor and entangled in the Doom of the Noldor.
[edit] History
The Nauglamír was made for Finrod by Dwarves of the Ered Luin and was the most renowned of their works in that age. They fastened on it gems that Finrod brought from Valinor.[1] It was his most prized treasure in Nargothrond and the most famed Dwarven work of the Elder Days.[2]
During and after the Fall of Nargothrond[3] the Nauglamír remained therefore forgotten in the hoard of Glaurung. Húrin Thalion found it and brought the famous treasure to the Kingdom of Doriath, and threw it on the floor, bitterly "thanking" Thingol for fostering his son and wife. When Húrin left, Dwarves of Nogrod had been invited to Menegroth by Thingol and decided to refashion it and fasten the Silmaril of Lúthien and Beren on it.[2]
The Dwarves were enthralled by its gems and of course the Silmaril, and demanded it from Thingol, claiming it as just payment for their labours. Thingol realized that they wished to possess the Silmaril, and sent them from Doriath without any payment, an event which led directly to his murder. The Dwarves fled, only to be slaughtered by the avenging Elves who killed all but two and returned the Nauglamír to Doriath. However a great host from Nogrod, roused to war, and begun the Battle of the Thousand Caves, stealing the entire treasure of Doriath including the Nauglamír. But they were waylaid by Beren Erchamion at Sarn Athrad. The Dwarves were all slain, and the treasure was cast into the River Ascar, except for the Nauglamír, which Beren took to Lúthien.[2]
Lúthien wore the Nauglamír for the rest of her life, their combining beauty being the fairest beauty east of Valinor. At her second death, a Lord of the Green-elves brought it to her son, Dior, back to Doriath; but when the Sons of Fëanor heard about its whereabouts, they attacked Doriath in an attempt to claim the Silmaril in the Second Kinslaying where Dior was killed. This attempt failed, as Dior's daughter Elwing fled to the Havens of Sirion saving the Nauglamír.[2]
The Sons of Fëanor were still after the Silmaril, and attacked the Mouths of Sirion, resulting in the Third Kinslaying. Elwing cast herself into the sea with it. It is not known what happened to the Nauglamír itself, but Elwing and the Silmaril were saved by Ulmo who brought her in the form of a bird to Eärendil her husband; it was its light that guided him through the Shadowy Seas and he found his way to Valinor. The Valar then set this Silmaril as a Star and it was worn on his brow.[4]
[edit] Etymology and names
In the Etymologies the word nauglamîr is listed as Doriathrin,[5] while the true Noldorin idiom is said to be Mîr na Nauglin or Nauglvir (-> Nauglavir).[6]s
[edit] Other versions of the Legendarium
In The Book of Lost Tales Part Two, the Nauglamír, then called Nauglafring, is more important: it more directly causes the death of Thingol as it gets caught behind a tree branch when Thingol is riding outside the Girdle of Melian and is attacked by the Dwarves. Thingol, unhorsed, is slain, after which Melian's protection is lifted and Doriath is sacked.[7]
The old form of the Nauglamír, the Nauglafring is in Goldogrin. The first element is naugl-, "dwarf", and the second element is fring, "carcanet, necklace".[7][8]

MWC 15 Special
After the Russian head of HTC confirmed on Twitter that - due to technical issues - there are no further plans to release Android 4.2/Jelly Bean for the HTC One S, yesterday morning HTC France confirmed the same on its very own Facebook page. A user asked when he could expect Android 4.2.2 for his One S and HTC replied that (according to Google Translate) "the HTC One S no longer have access to updates for future versions of Android and HTC Sense". HTC is even aware that this is frustrating news for most of us and continued to explain that "our customers can be confident that we have designed for the One S that offers video and audio experience of the highest quality".
I'm not exactly sure that this answer will really satisfy customers of the HTC One S (which is IMHO one of the better Android phones) since it's not about the "highest video and audio quality" only but also about the latest Android enhancements and - even more important - HTC Sense 5 which was a milestone Sense upgrade for HTC. As much as I always liked Sense, v5 is the by far best, fastest and lightest Sense version I don't want to miss anymore.Seriously, I hope for HTC and its One S customers, that HTC isn't repeating the Desire HD mistake where HTC also axed the much anticipated Android update.
UPDATE: We reached out to HTC and there's indeed an official statement (in English and not in Google Translate) which basically says exactly the same as the French response: "We can confirm that the HTC One S will not receive further Android OS updates and will remain on the current version of Android and HTC Sense. We realize this news will be met with disappointment by some, but our customers should feel confident that we have designed the HTC One S to be optimized with our amazing camera and audio experiences."
Cheers ~ Arne

After taking advantage of benign conditions early Saturday morning, Kevin Stadler downplayed his chances of climbing back into contention at the Zurich Class, predicting he would end the day more than five shots out of the lead.
But gusty afternoon wind resulted in higher scores and brought Stadler and several others within striking distance at TPC Louisiana.
Lucas Glover survived those blustery conditions and birdied the 18th hole to increase his lead to two strokes to remain in position for his first victory in two years, though his wife is expecting the couple's daughter at any time and he said he would immediately leave if he received a call that she going into labor.
The 2009 U.S. Open winner shot a 2-under 70 to reach 14 under.
"Some windier conditions than expected," Glover said. "But started up one, now I'm up two, so can't be too upset. The good stuff is still there."
Kyle Stanley, Jimmy Walker, Billy Horschel and D.A. Points were tied for second. Stanley had a 65, Walker and Horschel shot 66, and Points had a 70.
"Not much going on out there, not a lot of wind," said Stanley, who teed off more than 2 hours before the leaders when conditions were still calm. "So you could pretty much take dead aim and hit a lot of pins."
Stadler tied Stanley for low round of the day with a 65 and was three strokes back at 11 under.
Ten players were within four shots of the lead and 16 within five.
"It was there for the taking today," Stadler said.
Guan Tianlang, the 14-year-old Chinese amateur, shot a 77 to drop to 2 over - last among the 71 players who made the cut. He tied for 58th two weeks ago in the Masters after becoming the youngest player to make the cut at Augusta National, and will play in a U.S. Open qualifier in two weeks in Dallas.
"I didn't do pretty good," Tianlang said. "It was not a very good round."
Boo Weekley, a stroke behind Glover entering the round, salvaged a 73 with a two-putt birdie on the 18th to finish at 10 under.
"I was a little off," Weekley said. "I had some good looks early in the round and just kind of got down on myself with the putter."
Ernie Els, who entered the day in a tie for fifth, also shot 72 to drop to a tie for 17th at 8 under.
Bubba Watson, the 201 winner, was 6 under after a 72.
Glover birdied the eighth and ninth holes to get to 14 under, and opened a three-stroke lead at 15 under with a short birdie putt on the par-5 11th. But he failed to make par from the fringe on the par-3 14th to drop back to 14 under. He missed a 10-foot eagle putt on the 18th hole and tapped in for birdie.
"It's always nice to close with a birdie," Glover said. "I would have liked to have had one better but that was a pretty average putt."
The players will be grouped in threesomes and will tee off early because of expected stormy weather Sunday on the course already softened by heavy rain Wednesday.
DIVOTS: The 54-hole leader has won the tournament the last four years. ... Glover hasn't three-putted in 54 holes.

CRESTVIEW � It was no surprise to Crestview High School band director Jody Dunn that a crowd had lined up just outside the Pearl Tyner auditorium, prior to the Christmas concert Tuesday night.
"There are a little less than 500 seats available in the auditorium. We usually have an excess of that," he said.
Click here to view video highlights from the concert>>
Friends and family members of students who performed in the concert filled the auditorium to listen a variety of Christmas music selections.
Attendees fortunate enough to get inside the auditorium were able to listen to six different ensembles, including four concert bands and two jazz bands, Dunn said.
Each ensemble performed renditions of holiday classics. The school's concert and symphonic band performed selections from "The Nutcracker" and "O Magnum Mysterium," among others.
The school's jazz ensembles performed other holiday favorites, like "Winter Wonderland" and "Rudolph, The Red-Nosed Reindeer."
Using the jazz ensembles for background music, Azyia Taylor, Nick Watson, and Elizabeth Dunn earned applause following their solo performances of "Christmas Time Is Here," "Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" and "Jingle Bells."
Performing before a large crowd was nothing new to senior Foster Lux, 16, who played a clarinet in the wind ensemble at the end of the concert.
"I like the crowd ... when you get to hear their feedback and how much they enjoyed it," she said. "I just like performing before other people, because they can enjoy it as much as we do."
In addition to being in the 2014 Okaloosa All County Band with 31 other band members, Foster, who is the band's drum major, also made the 2014 Florida All-State Symphonic Band.
Foster said her final year performing in the CHS Christmas concert is "bittersweet."
"It's sad to go, but it is about time (to)," she said.
Kathi Peyton attended to see her 17-year-old daughter, Shayna Clay, play the school's concert band.
Peyton said in addition to seeing her daughter's own performance, watching the other students' are just as enjoyable.
"I like it mostly to see the other kids' talents," she said.

Sonny's Hideaway: Northeast Los Angeles Newcomer is an Instant Classic
York Boulevard in Highland Park is one of those LA neighborhoods living through an extended personality crisis. Record stores, gastropubs, art galleries, and cafes are sandwiched between taquerias, auto shops, and beauty salons. On polarized streets like this one, streets that wobble halfway between the old and the new, both the newest business and the oldest business on the block tend to stick out like sore thumbs.
But Sonny's Hideaway—one of the very newest spots on York—doesn't feel out of place, doesn't shout its noveltym even though it only opened its doors on April 26th of this year. It seems, somehow, to have belonged on the block for a while.
The superficial part of that—the unassuming look of the place, that is—may be no accident. The bar's name comes from a sketchy neighborhood dive that owner Derek Lyons eyed with intrigue as a child. Perhaps the shady, mysterious bar from that childhood memory inspired the current bar's understated facade: an austere slate gray wall that practically works as urban camouflage. Only the bright red door and the cheery globe lamp hanging over the entrance give away that you are, indeed, welcome.
When inside, you'll find Sonny's feels lived-in and familiar. The space is divided in two, with a long wooden cocktail bar flanking one wall, and the booths and tables making up the dining area opposite. There's a patio out back, too. The menu balances comfort and adventure, with items like cold fried chicken, and clams in a smoked grape broth that is simply... Stopping myself there: we're here to drink.
Bar Manager Kelly O'Hare is the man behind the cocktails at Sonny's Hideaway. Local and seasonal ingredients appear in his drinks, but the star of the menu is a broad assortment of amari and herbal liqueurs. If you love your drinks brown, bitter, and stirred, you'll be in heaven.
O'Hare is in the process of rolling out the fall cocktail menu, and one of the new drinks will be the Crystal Plumage ($13). It's made with Leopold's Navy strength gin from Colorado, plus Cocchi Americano and rich Zucca Rabarbaro, served up, with a misting of grapefruit oil. With just three ingredients, it's amazing how complex this cocktail is. Bitter and sweet would be a broad description; if asked to elaborate, I'd point out layers of citrus, flowers, and berries. The grapefruit oil brings out the sweetness in the amaro, making the drink complete.
Earthiness and sweetness balance each other in the Bourbon Fig Punch ($10), a dangerously easy to drink overproof punch. ('Overproof' means that this punch is considerably stronger than the textbook variety—as strong as any other cocktail on the menu. You've been warned!) Made from a variety of locally-sourced figs—predominantly Black Mission—that are cooked down and steeped with Evan Williams Bourbon, then mixed into an oleo-saccharum made with orange and lemon, plus Strega and wormwood bitters. This whiskey-forward punch has a delicate fig and herb flavor with potent citrus notes.
The Sonny's menu also has sections for lower-alcohol and booze-free drinks, which may be easier to pair with a meal than some classic cocktails. The Tarantella ($10), for example, combines Cocchi Americano, Amaro CioCiaro, Contratto Vermouth Rosso, a little St. George Terroir Gin, lemon and basil oil, and a fresh basil garnish. The basil highlights the woodsy aromas from the gin while the vermouth and amaro play up the citrus in the background. Served on the rocks, it is wonderful to sip with dinner, and just as tasty on its own.
Sonny's Hideaway is pretty new, but it feels like it belongs here already. Why? Maybe it's that Sonny's is checking the right boxes for an earthy, real-life bar: the lighting's low, the leather-cushioned booths are comfortable. There seems to be no fumbling with half-cocked experiments—the bartenders are clearly seasoned, there's experience on display in the crafting of the menu itself, even when the recipes are bold or the techniques used are progressive. And the team behind the place has already been here for years, running another place across the street.
I admit it: I don't know why Sonny's seems right at home on York. I do know that I'm glad it's here, and that I'm glad when I'm here, enjoying a cocktail or two. Or three.
(By the way, happy hour is everyday Tuesday through Sunday, 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., and features a $5 peated Scotch punch. How's that for bold?)

Admissions, fundraising success highlight May Board of Trustees meeting
May 27, 2014
Reports on admissions successes and an increase in gifts to Lewis & Clark highlighted the Board of Trustees meeting on May 9. Trustees also welcomed the newest board member, Paula Hayes BA '92; elected two new trustees; and heard presentations by the CAS professors recently named winners of the Lorey Lokey Faculty Excellence Awards.
At the meeting of the Academic Affairs/Campus Life committee, President Barry Glassner updated trustees on the admissions picture. Deposits from CAS admitted students are up nearly 20 percent compared to this point a year ago. Of the new enrollees, 23 percent are students of color—up from 19 percent last year. The new class maintains the strong academic credentials of last year's and other recent classes.
Although the admissions cycles are yet to conclude for the law school and graduate school, there are positive signs from both. Enrollment is rebounding for the Teacher Education Program as school districts begin hiring new teachers. While law applications are down again nationally and at Lewis & Clark, deposits to the law school are keeping pace with last year's numbers, and yield rates are especially high among the most qualified students.
The Academic Affairs Committee also heard presentations by each of the Lokey Excellence Award winners—Professor of Biology Kellar Autumn, Professor of Philosophy Rebecca Copenhaver, and Associate Professor of Music Katherine FitzGibbon.
Good news in fundraising took center stage at the meeting of the Institutional Advancement Committee. Vice President Hal Abrams reported that, through March 31, Lewis & Clark has raised $8 million, up from $7 million at the same point a year ago. The institution is on track to meet the goal of $1.9 million for annual giving and to exceed the goal for major gifts. Abrams also reported that staff, with the help of trustees and volunteers, have continued to increase outreach to potential supporters of Lewis & Clark.
Joining the board for her first meeting was Paula Hayes, founder and owner of Hue Noir, a Beaverton-based cosmetics company specializing in products for women of color. (For more on Hayes, see this Lewis & Clark Chronicle feature on entrepreneurial alumni.)
Hayes will soon be joined by two new trustees. The board has elected Heidi Hu BS '85 and Tony Abena BS '86 to memberships that begin with the new academic year. Hu is a community volunteer and a private investor retired from Transamerica Investment Management. Abena is the chief operating officer of Deloitte Investments, an internal start-up division within Deloitte LLP.
President Glassner offered tributes to Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences Tuajuanda Jordan and Dean of the Law School Robert Klonoff, who are both stepping down. Jordan has been named the seventh president of St. Mary's College of Maryland and begins her tenure there July 1; Klonoff, after a year's sabbatical, will join the law school faculty to pursue teaching and research.
The board compressed its meeting time to allow members to attend the College of Arts and Sciences' Honors Convocation. Many trustees stayed for the school's 141st Commencement, which took place on May 10.
In other meeting highlights:
- Mark Duntley, dean of religious and spiritual life, reported on the myriad ways he and his staff tend to students' religious and spiritual needs.
- Trustees approved a resolution affirming the use of environmental, social, and governance (ESG) factors in evaluating investment opportunities for the endowment and calling on the College's investment managers to include these factors in their analytical processes.
- CIO Adam Buchwald and Associate Professor of Law Juliet Stumpf presented on uses of technology in classroom instruction at Lewis & Clark.

From the lost empires of the Sahara to today's frenzied global gold rush, a blazing exploration of the human love affair with gold by Matthew Hart, the award-winning author of Diamond.
"Hart chronicled his travels through the feverish domain of the gold hunters and met some of the world's greatest precious-metal buccaneers."
--Vanity Fair, November 2013
In the wake of the 2008 financial crisis, the price of gold skyrocketed—in three years more than doubling from $800 an ounce to $1900. This massive spike drove an unprecedented global goldmining and exploration boom, much bigger than the Gold Rush of the 1800s. In Gold, acclaimed author Matthew Hart takes you on an unforgettable journey around the world and through history to tell the extraordinary story of how gold became the world's most precious commodity.
Beginning with a page-turning dispatch from the crime-ridden inferno of the world's deepest mine, Hart pulls back to survey gold's tempestuous past. From the earliest civilizations, 6,000 years ago, when gold was an icon of sacred and kingly power, Hart tracks its evolution, through conquest, murder, and international mayhem, into the speculative casino-chip that the metal has become. Hart describes each boom and bust in gold's long story, each panic and shock, with writing described as "polished and fiery" (Publishers Weekly), weaving together history and cutthroat economics to reveal the human dramas that have driven our lust for a precious yellow metal.

KISS legends Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were interviewed by Cabovisión about the grand opening of Rock & Brews in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico, the second location for the emerging brand. Check out the chat below.
Rock & Brews recently announced Stanley joined forces with Simmons in his Rock & Brews restaurant venture as the company prepares for worldwide expansion. Together, they co-hosted the March 22 and 23 opening of Rock & Brews in San Jose del Cabo, Mexico.
Rock & Brews Los Cabos is the first international location for the new entertainment and rock-themed dining concept. Stanley and Simmons, along with Rock & Brews co-founding partners restaurateur-hotelier Michael Zislis and veteran concert promoter Dave Furano, have teamed up with Los Cabos' restaurateurs Jessica Moreira, Rodrigo Cabeza De Vaca, and Sergio Martinez, and developers Alfredo Gadsden, Gabriel Gadsden and Mario Gadsden for the opening.
"I am honored to join the Rock & Brews lineup, and am especially excited for our first international location in Los Cabos," said Stanley. "Rock & Brews is truly a unique concept that embraces music and concert-style social gatherings like no other dining venue."
The new Rock & Brews Los Cabos features a unique concert themed-atmosphere complete with hand-painted murals of rock artists, album and tour art. Guests can take advantage of the al fresco dining offered, or enjoy sitting indoors in an authentically themed backstage concert site. The restaurant features a full bar and will have the largest selection of craft beers in Los Cabos. It is set to be a main late-night attraction for locals and tourists alike, as after the dinner rush, a DJ will be spinning tunes nightly.
Four additional Rock & Brews restaurants are currently in development. Rock & Brews Redondo Beach (on Pacific Coast Highway) is set to open in late April; Rock & Brews LAX (in the Delta Airlines Terminal) and Rock & Brews Paia, Maui will open this summer; and a Rock & Brews Prairiefire, in Kansas City, Missouri is also slated to open later this year. Several others are on the drawing board for locations throughout the United States and abroad.
Rock & Brews Los Cabos is located at Paseo Malecon San Jose Plaza del Pescador Local 1, San Jose Del Cabo.

If you like ghost stories and things that go bump in the night, you�re going to want to hang around Camp Helen State Park for a spell Oct. 13 for the seventh annual Ghost Walk and History Tour.
The Friends of Camp Helen have a ghoulish evening planned to delight families with real-life ghost stories and Halloween-themed refreshments.
�We�ve chosen this event and its name because of the real ghost sightings on the park as a part of its history,� said Lynn Cherry with Friends of Camp Helen, the fundraising arm of the state park.
This event is certainly more treat than trick, and is made for kids of all ages and their families.
Cherry emphasized that there would be nothing wicked afoot.
�It�s family friendly,� she said. �This is not a ghost walk that intends to scare you. We�re not going to have people out there with chainsaws.�
The spirits will be high at seven stations where dressed-up volunteers will regale spectators with historical stories of eerie, ghostly characters.
�They�ll learn about the ghost of G. G.,� Cherry said of the man-turned-ghost who died by an accident many, many years ago. �His ghost looms in the state park. You�ll hear about his story and about who has seen him.�
She said that storytellers will bring the stories to life by taking the visitors to locations of ghost sightings and supposed last resting places.
But, Cherry said with a laugh, in all years past, nobody has ever seen a ghost.
�You just learn about their spirits,� said Cherry. �It�s an excellent opportunity to learn about Camp Helen, we use the history in every one of our stories.�
To go to each station should take about an hour and a half, and visitors are welcome to come and leave as they please within the three-and-a-half hour event, 5 to 8:30 p.m. Oct. 13.
Visitors are encouraged to dress up in costume and flashlights are recommended. Tickets are $5 for adults and $3 for children 12 and younger. For information, contact Lynn Cherry at 215-4651 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
In addition to helping maintain and learn about the park, �it can really get you get you in the Halloween spirit,� said Cherry.
The 180 acres of Camp Helen was acquired as conservation land as part of Florida�s Preservation 2000 Act. The land is today a part of Florida Forever. The Ghost Walk is an annual event to share the history of the park while raising money to preserve the land and restore buildings.
Camp Helen is located at 23937 Panama City Beach Parkway near the Walton and Bay county line, on the south side of the highway just west of the Phillips Inlet Bridge.
Parking at the state park is limited, and will be designated for handicapped use on this evening. Visitors are asked to park at the Winn Dixie at the intersection of U.S. 98 and Front Beach Road, and then ride provided public transportation into the park.

The adventure of a lifetime
As I started my freshman year of college at Multnomah, I had no idea that by the end of the academic year I would be sharing God's glory all around The Land of a Thousand Hills — that's the nickname given to Rwanda, Africa, thanks to its beautiful, mountainous landscape.
This February, after Dr. Garry Friesen had retired from teaching at MU, he moved to Kigali, Rwanda, to teach at the African College of Theology (ACT), a newly formed Bible college. Dr. Friesen has a vision to build a bridge between the students of Multnomah University and the students of ACT, so he invited a team of six students from MU to visit Kigali in May this year.
When I first heard about this trip, I was extremely skeptical. I wasn't sure if I could get the time off work or where God was guiding me in life. But I felt something tugging on my heart to at least interview for a spot on the team. Two short weeks later, I was signing papers and fundraising to go on the adventure of a lifetime.
Dream Boys
And six months later, there I was, standing alongside five others students, breathing in the African air.
First our team visited the African College of Theology. We got to sit in on classes, meet fellow Bible majors, and pray and worship alongside ACT students.
Then for three days of our trip, we got to help out with the Dream Boys, a nonprofit program that helps feed and educate the street boys of Rwanda. Getting to spend time with these boys was one of the main highlights of our trip. We got to play games with them, teach them Bible lessons, act out skits, and teach them how to make bracelets.
Though we taught them a lot, I feel as though they taught us more. Not only did they teach us words in their language, Kinyarwanda, but they also taught us how to smile — even in tough situations. One of the boys, Providence, had lost a finger just two weeks prior, due to an infection from a cut. But he was always one of the first to greet us with a grin on his face and joy in his heart.
After spending time with the Dream Boys, we got to drive out to two schools located in Kageyo, a village close to the border of Rwanda and Tanzania. At the second school, we got to go on our first Hope Visit to see a little girl named Florence. A Hope Visit is where a child who is not yet sponsored gets visited by one of the teams.
From the moment I saw Florence, we became instant friends. Florence is one of four children who live with their widowed mother. When we arrived at her house, her mother looked at me holding her daughter's hand. With tear filling her eyes, she embraced me tightly. I will never forget her face. It was a face of desperation, a face of hope, and a face filled with love.
When we first went to Florence's home, she was unsponsored. But by the time we left, I knew that I had to sponsor her. Later the next day, I signed the papers, and she became my lifetime pen pal. I never realized what it meant to a child and their family to be sponsored till I sat in the house of one. A sponsorship can change a child's life forever. It's more than just a direct withdrawal and a letter now and then. It's a uniform, an education, insurance, food, and a chance to thrive in a poor community.
I will never forget the love
This trip has changed my life forever. I will never forget the faces of those I met. I will never forget the love that radiated from their hearts. I will never forget the way that they trust their Savior — even in the most trying times of their lives. I am so grateful that Multnomah gave me the chance to experience a missional lifestyle outside of the U.S., and I'm excited for future opportunities to travel abroad to share the love of our Father with others.

While most Californians watched the votes tallied for the presidency, a startling upheaval occurred right under our noses: Democrats captured absolute two-thirds majorities in both houses of the state legislature, a feat not managed since the passage of Proposition 13 in 1978.
What does a ballot proposition from more than 30 years ago have to do with last week's elections? Almost everything.
Most people remember Proposition 13 for the provision that slashed local property taxes by about 57 percent, strapping local governments and increasing the burden on the state to help fund local programs and services.
But another provision required that state taxes could not be increased without an absolute two-thirds vote of both houses of the state legislature--the highest threshold of its kind in the nation.
The term "absolute" is important for it, too, has been a source of confusion. An absolute two-thirds majority requires approval from two-thirds of the legislators in both houses, or 54 in the 80 member Assembly and 27 in the 40 member State Senate.
While Democrats have enjoyed healthy majorities for most of the time since Proposition 13, they have never reached the absolute two-thirds threshold.
Sometimes, one single Republican in either house has been enough to thwart control, requiring massive negotiations and significant compromises.
U.S. & World
That's what happened in 2009, when facing a huge budget deficit, minority party Republicans refused to go along with the revenue and spending package until Democrats agreed to a more than $1 billion dollar corporate tax loophole that voters eliminated via Proposition 39 last week.
Now the Democrats are in the rarefied political atmosphere where they can operate unfettered. The question is, what will they do?
Democratic leaders can take the legislature in a number of directions.
They may streamline some regulations to shore up tense relations with business interests.
Alternatively, they may speed up the first links of the state's ambitious high speed rail program, particularly considering the re-election of Barack Obama.
But the most important policy area for the Democrats will exist in the realm of taxes.
Currently, the state relies on the progressive income tax for more than sixty percent of its general fund--a percentage that will increase somewhat in the short-term with passage of Proposition 30 last week.
This proportion is neither sustainable nor desirable. Other sources must be tapped in order to decrease the reliance on a single source.
One idea is to tax oil as it comes out of the ground; California is the only oil-producing state (fourth
largest in the nation) that does not do so.
Another possibility is to broaden the sales tax, which currently applies to only about 40 percent of all goods and services produced in the state.
Along these lines, "sin" taxes on liquor, beer and wine have not been touched for decades. California also ranks 33rd in tobacco taxes.
Still a third possibility might be to alter Proposition 13 by passing a statewide property tax for businesses which, in many cases, have paid the same amounts since 1978.
Which of these or other possibilities will be embraced remains to be seen in this rare moment that is virtually guaranteed at least until elections in 2014.
Still two facts are clear. First, the Democrats need to be careful not to go so far that they upset those who put them in this exalted position. And second, the Democrats should not take fellow Democrat Jerry Brown for granted as an automatic ally, given Brown's penchant to not raise any
taxes without voter approval.
Nevertheless, California is now at a cossroads. The direction taken by the state legislature over the next twenty-four months may tell us much about the state's future. This political chess game should be interesting to watch.

ITP students Mark Kleback and Ezer Lichtenstein designed and built a ten step sequencer that can be linked to other sequencers running on the same clock speed.
The sequencer uses a 555 timer that feeds into a CD4017 decade counter. They wired in kill switches on each step to either change the time signature of the sequence or introduce syncopation. Each step has a potentiometer that can vary the frequency of the pulse or the control voltage.
Over the summer at ITP Camp, Mark and Ezer held a soldering workshop where the participants built sequencers of their own. The following day all the sequencers were linked together and they had themselves an electronic jam session.
Check out Mark's site for more information and full documentation.

Dark Sheen on Lake Michigan a 'Strange Phenomenon,' Said Officials
The dark substance stained beachgoers' skins, prompting evacuations on Monday.
June 18, 2013 -- Officials remain baffled as to how a dark, slick substance that forced dozens of swimmers out of the water at a northwest Indiana beach mysteriously vanished.
"They checked the beach, and they can't find any evidence of it," Indiana Department of Environmental Management spokesman Barry Sneed told ABCNews.com. "[Authorities] figure it may have sunk, or moved farther north. It's a strange phenomenon."
Swimmers notified law enforcement authorities that a dark-colored residue stretching nearly a mile long on Lake Michigan had appeared on the surface of the water at Porter Beach in Porter, Ind., Monday afternoon, Sneed said.
Porter Fire Department Deputy Chief Jay Craig told ABCNews.com that when he arrived at the lake the water looked slick with what appeared to be oil. Upon further inspection, the substance was a gun-metal gray with metal flakes in it.
Craig said you could tell how deep someone had been in the water depending on where their bodies were stained with the dark residue.
"They were worried when they saw two kids come out of the water and the one was, his head and half his body was covered a bit in black," Porter resident Carl Dahlin told ABC's Chicago station WLS-TV.
"We are completely baffled as to what it truly is, whether it came from one of the steel mills or something out of the smokestacks or possibly washed off one of the big barges as they came into the harbor," Gene Davis, Indiana conservation officer, told WLS-TV.
Officials shut down the beach as the Coast Guard, the Indiana Department of Natural Resources and the National Park Service were called in to help identify the slime.
The appearance of the unidentifiable slick forced the closure of five northern Indiana beaches on Lake Michigan, Sneed said.
"In my eight years here, we've never had to close the water because of an unknown substance like this," said Indiana Dunes State Park Manager Brandt Baughman. "We're not going to open our beach until we know what it is."
Indiana Dunes State Park remains closed as a result of strong waves and rip tides, but other beaches in the area have issued a swim at your own risk advisory.
Meanwhile, officials work to determine what the mysterious substance was and where it could have gone.
While authorities worried that the sheen could spread east toward Michigan City, Ind., Sneed said the substance was nowhere to be found this morning.
Sneed said that while preliminary testing of water samples indicated the mystery sheen might have been a food additive that was also used in fertilizer, this morning's reading revealed it might have been a type of acid.
While the tests yield variable results, samples were sent to a lab for further analysis, Sneed said.

I am currently creating an experiment with a colleague and she wants to have three trials in her experiment. The first is simply word presentation and then the second and third are more complicated. Is it possible for superlab 4.5 or 5 to show a proportion of a word and then allows the participants to complete the word? Also can superlab allow participants to type in a list of words in another trial?
Thank you

I used to make an animated show where I talked to videogame characters about the big issues of the day, and a few people liked it. Apparently one of those people was Josh Thomas of The Bit Block. Josh made this custom level in the 3DS eShop title Hiko-Osu based on my pixel-animated face. I'm assuming Josh made it using a Japanese 3DS, as I don't think the game has hit other territories yet.
As you can see, the game has a soothing, Catherine/IloMilo vibe to it, and should be worth the download for those of you who can appreciate the simple joys of puzzle platforming in glasses-free 3D. It's also by the creators of the Paper Mario games, so if you want to show those guys you love them, buying this game may do the trick.
I'll be buying it just to make a level based on Josh Thomas' face.

Consensus Report
Ecosystem Concepts for Sustainable Bivalve Mariculture (2010)Ocean Studies Board
Each report is produced by a committee of experts selected by the Academy to address a particular statement of task and is subject to a rigorous, independent peer review; while the reports represent views of the committee, they also are endorsed by the Academy. Learn more on our expert consensus reports.
With seafood consumption rising and wild stocks of marine life decreasing, mariculture -- the cultivation of marine organisms in their natural environments -- is becoming an increasingly important source of bivalve shellfish such as oysters, mussels, and clams. However, mariculture operations can affect the integrity of natural ecosystems where they are located, for example, by disturbing marine flora that provide habitat for fish and invertebrates. Expanding mariculture operations will require the adoption of best management practices or performance standards to limit undesirable consequences. Analysis suggests performance standards that monitor key indicators of ecosystem health are most effective, because the scale, location, and type of mariculture operation can be taken into account.
Key Messages
- Although best management practices are useful in some circumstances, performance standards that monitor key indicators of ecosystem health are most effective because the scale, location, and type of mariculture operation can be taken into account.
- Bivalve shellfish feed by filtering food from seawater, and excrete organic waste, impacting the physical and chemical environment, modifying habitats, and affecting the food web and biogeochemical cycling; but the extent of these impacts varies with environment, location, and species of shellfish.
- Diseases that occur at low levels in wild populations can flourish in mariculture facilities, due to altered conditions like crowding and temperature fluctuations.
- Historically, several bivalve species have reproduced and established self-sustaining populations outside the mariculture facility, they can also carry unintended "hitchhiker" species, such as algae, that can thrive and spread once introduced to a new environment
- The equipment used to hold and protect shellfish during growth provides surfaces for small marine organisms to attach, attracting the fish and crustaceans that feed on them; potential negative impacts include the entanglement and drowning of birds, marine mammals, and marine turtles in nets.
- The full impact of mariculture operations on an ecosystem may not be fully understood until scientists have better indicators of the carrying capacity of an ecosystem

A Recap About Cabal and Haskell Libraries
Wow, it turns out I'm not the only person having issues with managing dependencies in Haskell! There has been a lot of discussion and sharing of ideas and information in a few different places, starting from my original article about "DLL hell" in Haskell three days ago. I'm going to try to collect all the relevant points together, along with some added reading I've done, and organize them into a coherent summary. I'm sure I'll inadvertently leave some things out, and if so, I apologize.
Regarding "Blame"
First of all, I want to echo Johan Tibbe, who mentioned on Reddit that this is, in many ways, a sign of good things. Haskell isn't running into this problem because something broke; it's running into this problem because it's being used for a remarkable variety of projects in a way that hasn't happened before. I also agree with John Millikin, Mike Burns, and others who pointed out that the problem isn't uniquely Haskell. Indeed, I think it's fair to say that perhaps Haskell is one of the few environments where we've got a prayer at solving the problem.
The causes come down to two things, basically,
- Haskell encourages the writing of many small libraries. This is in part because we do such a good job of managing the dependencies on all those libraries. Can anyone imagine that we'd have a lot of the stuff we have now on Hackage if we didn't have excellent tools for working with it? If there's any lesson to be learned here, it's just that people will try to do more things until they hit the limits of the tools available to them!
- Haskell is now being used to write "integration" type software; packages that pull together a lot of very different functionality and build something out of the pieces. I think this is a relatively new phenomenon, at least at the scale it's happening. And it puts a lot more stress on systems like Cabal.
So I'd be unhappy if someone walked away from my article thinking "Haskell sucks at dependency management; I should use something else." The thing is, something else probably sucks too, quite possibly a lot more! In many cases, it sucks so much that you wouldn't even attempt to do the things we routinely do in Haskell. No one releases a Java library with only 50 lines of code – in part because it's hard to do anything interesting in 50 lines of Java, but also because the effort of getting it installed and working with all your other libraries would be so great that it would swamp the effort of rewriting the functionality.
Regarding Defeatism
On the other side, several comments were made to the effect that it's too much to hope that we can solve version dependency problems in Haskell. The argument goes that there are lots of other languages that also have these same problems; they haven't found answers, and we probably won't either. There's mention that this is an "active research topic," implying that it should be left to the researchers.
It's good to inject some context into the discussion about the scope of the problem, but ultimately I think we should reject the idea that Haskell isn't going to solve these problems, for three reasons:
- We're almost there! Despite the admittedly negative tone in the article that started this all, I think I've actually enumerated most of the issues with the current system, and they all look solvable. GHC and Cabal developers have put immense amounts of effort into working on these problems, and they have nearly gotten us to a place where Haskell dependencies just work in a way that's not true in any other language. (A key point here: Isolation-based answers help tremendously in practice, but still leave possibilities of problems. In fact, any time something only works because of isolation, it's also the case that someone trying to combine that code together into a bigger system is going to run into problems. So any environment that widely recommends an isolation-based answer is clearly short of the "just works" point, and instead settling for "works so far, and we hope no one tries to do something bigger.")
- These are Haskell's problems to solve. While dependency management comes up in many different programming languages, the solutions in this case are Haskell solutions. If you look at the central two issues I pointed out – internal dependencies, and the Cabal butterfly effect – what's ultimately holding up a solution is work on the compiler to contribute things that relate to its understanding of the Haskell programming language and the interfaces between modules that the compiler builds. If Haskell doesn't solve these problems, then no one else is going to do it for us.
- Since when does the Haskell community shy away from hard problems? Sure, this is a difficult problem. So are/were lazy evaluation in a general-purpose language, type classes, models for I/O in a pure functional framework, functional dependencies and type families, software transactional memory, vectorization of data parallel code, type inference for GADTs, and the construction of what is almost certainly the most advanced optimizing compiler in the world. Haskell did (and/or is doing) all of those.
I don't mean to dismiss those who pointed out this is a hard problem; it may take a while to solve it; so those who are trying to use Haskell in practice right now are well-advised to find temporary workaround or partial answers, such as isolating dependencies of projects, for example. At the same time, though, part of the unique spirit of Haskell has always been the willingness to live with our problems all the way up to (but not past) our tolerance point, and take the time to find the right answer instead of the expedient one.
That's always been my interpretation of the Haskell motto to "avoid success at all costs" – what we're really avoiding is the temptation to take short-cuts with duct-tape and glue, and in the process compromise the effort to find the right answers to questions about Haskell. This isn't the fault of the duct tape or the glue, which are useful short-term tools. But when keeping up with the duct tape and glue gets in the way of making correct decisions, then a programming language starts that deadly race wherein we try to get as popular as we can before the language gets too crufty to use any more, and people jump to something else.
Isolating Environments
Another very informative part of the conversation relates to isolation of different build environments. I'm not active in the Python or Ruby development communities, but several people (including John Millikin and Mike Burns, mentioned that they routinely solve these kinds of problems with sandbox or isolation tools. These tools maintain local package databases that are just big enough to build a particular piece of software, thereby guaranteeing that installing some unrelated library for a separate project won't break your libraries for this one. Ruby's tool for this purpose is rvm (Ruby Version Manager), while the Python community uses virtualenv.
It may come as a surprise to many people that Haskell has its own tool for isolated build environments, called cabal-dev. John Millikin wrote an in-depth introduction on building and using it on Reddit. Basically, it keeps a private package database for you in a subdirectory of your build directory. The idea is that you can install a minimal amount of stuff in the system-wide or user-wide databases, and let cabal-dev download and build most dependencies on demand for your specific project and store them locally. It's not quite an rvm-level tool, in that it does not manage multiple versions of the compiler, but it sure helps with library version isolation.
As I mentioned above, I see isolation as a short-term good, but perhaps a premature casting off of a hair shirt. If I can only build all my Haskell stuff because of isolated package databases, then this means there are some integration projects that I could not embark on because they would be too large for the isolated package databases. So I'm of mixed minds about this; it's no-doubt good that cabal-dev exists. On the other hand, I'd hope it does not obscure the need for a right answer to package dependencies.
A few other notes related to isolation:
- Another idea that was brought up again, and that's come up in many other places recently, is installing and using a local copy of Hackage for use in a collection of related projects. Michael Snoyman's Yackage is a minimal example of this that looks like a piece of cake to install. It's also supposed to (eventually? now?) be relatively easy to install hackage-server and customize the exact set of features you want. I have yet to do any of this, but it certainly looks appealing, especially if you're trying to maintain an ecosystem of connected software.
- Something else that came up with respect to cabal-dev and rvm, for example, is that rvm also isolates the version of the compiler you're using, as well. It looks rather difficult, currently, to have multiple versions of the ghc compiler installed at the same time. Indeed, this is part of what turned me off from doing GHC work some time ago; it looks like it's more work to keep several GHC versions in working order at once than it is to actually modify the code. It seems we're a long way from 'cabal install ghc-7.1'!
- Finally, a sort of "partial isolation" that seems unambiguously to be a good thing was mentioned in the context of Ruby's bundlr by Darrin Thompson. The comment was that when Ruby's gem system resolves dependencies, it can be asked to write out the exact resolution to a file, and then other tools on other systems can bring exactly that same package dependency tree into being. I think to date, the Haskell community has largely avoided struggling with deployment issues and integration systems, but it doesn't seem difficult to get Cabal and cabal-install to pick up the idea of fixing a specific solution to version constraints, to ensure that packages used on deployed systems exactly match their development counterparts, even if a rebuild is needed (e.g., different processor architecture). Of course, Ruby has a somewhat greater need for this, in that I can generally copy a compiled and statically linked binary in Haskell; but as the move to shared libraries continues, this may well become far more relevant.
Internal Dependencies
Nothing new here, except that there seems to be a general consensus that this needs to be one of the first changes made to the Haskell build infrastructure. As Duncan has pointed out before, this involves a coordinated change involving both GHC and Cabal.
Something I find myself in agreement with is that perhaps the best approach going forward would be to fix this, and the next point (the "butterfly effect"), and then take stock again of where we are. Fixing the internal dependencies issue would hopefully reduce the number of version constraints Cabal needs to deal with by an order of magnitude or so. That might make many of the other issues people are facing go away, or reduce them to the point that they are solvable by people just talking to each other and politely requesting bumps in version upper bounds. That seems sensible to me; there's a legitimate hope that this fix would make everything else a matter of patching up the odd points here and there.
The Butterfly Effect
This was point number 3 in the "DLL Hell" article, but I've since written an expanded description of what is happening, and made up a name for it in hopes of making it easier to discuss. The idea is that, while Cabal and GHC are fine with multiple packages existing having different versions, they are not okay with multiple packages have the same name and version, but different dependencies. As a result, one can end up in a situation where installing a package breaks another package. This is the only issue in the list that I consider to be a bug (albeit probably a known and understood one) in Cabal.
A number of people have brought up GHC's ABI hash… that long sequence of hexadecimal that GHC appends to your package when you rebuild it. I've spent some time doing a bit of reading into what GHC does here. While it's certainly related, unfortunately this still doesn't actually solve the problem. What it does do is help GHC to detect the problem. The idea is that GHC hashes together all the information about the ABI – that is, all the information that needs to be known to correctly link against a package. Then if some package gets recompiled and exposes a different ABI, the hask will differ, and GHC will notice that packages that depend on it are broken.
This raises the question of whether GHC could just keep around multiple copies of the same library, differing only in their ABI hash. The answer, as Simon Marlow pointed out, is no. Because the ABI hash is not included in the names of symbols in a library, trying to link two different packages with the same name and version but different ABI hashes would lead to problems later on. So currently, the ABI hash is used to detect when a dependency is recompiled, but it cannot be used to keep several instances of the same package version. The reason for not including the ABI hash in the symbol name seems to be related to avoiding unnecessarily recompiling things that don't need to be recompiled. That's also a valid goal; so something a bit more complex would have to happen to get this sort of thing working. Still, it doesn't look undoable.
Several people mentioned the Linux package manager Nix as inspiration here. It does look very much like what ought to be done. Whether we would want deferred garbage collection or shared –user installed packages is an interesting question, but I think far less important than solving the immediate problems.
About the Package Versioning Policy (PVP)
One of the surprises for me was the response to my comments about the PVP (the Package Versioning Policy). This comes back to different people having different kinds of projects, I suppose. I personally have never witnessed a package that used to build breaking because of upgrades elsewhere and someone failing to put upper bounds on their package dependencies. Don't get me wrong; I've seen a few Cabal build failures in my time, but generally they've always been traced to some other problem; I've just never seen it be the case that the package would have been fine with an appropriate upper bound, but failed to compile because there wasn't. There's always been something else involved; usually a compiler version difference and resulting changes in some package for which an older version doesn't exist for the new compiler.
Apparently other people consider this a significant problem, though, and if others are having problems even today with the PVP not being followed tightly enough, then I certainly retract my suggestion that we consider weakening it. Suggestions were made to have Hackage enforce the PVP, but my personal feelings always come back to what I think we ought to consider an axiom of Hackage: anything we do that makes it less likely people would upload their packages is a step backward, not forward. The fact that practically all open-source Haskell code out there is contained in Hackage is an immense treasure of the Haskell community, and we'd be fools to jeopardize that in any way. Having Hackage enforce the PVP means requiring that a package be buildable in the Hackage environment before accepting it, and that seems like a non-starter.
One question I'd like to keep on the table is the possibility of telling Cabal to distinguish between strong bounds ("I know this won't work") and weak bounds ("I haven't tested this, possibly because it doesn't exist yet to test"). Perhaps new version bound operators (>>) and (<<) could be introduced to capture the strong bounds. Cabal could then be told on a case-by-case basis to override the weak version bounds on other people's packages. Then one might imagine an interaction something like:
$ cabal install foo Configuring foo... Cannot resolve dependencies for foo (... for some reason involving upper bound on bar ...) $ cabal relax-depends bar 'baz < 0.5' $ cabal install foo (successful build)
It's also worth mentioning, here, Michael Snoymans packdeps package and its web front end. These are tools for alerting package authors when they are excluding other libraries because of upper bounds on their packages. This can help reduce the problem of keeping package dependencies up to date.
Interactions With OS Packaging
Finally, there were a few comments about using the operating system package manager instead of trying to "reinvent the wheel" with Cabal. All things considered, this doesn't look like a reasonable idea. The amount of interconnection between Cabal and GHC, mentioned in several places earlier, is good proof that package management is somewhat intimately connected to the build tools of the language we're doing it in. Add to this the fact that there are nearly 3000 different packages on Hackage (never mind all the different versions, where some old versions are still needed!), and the fact that several of them are updated several times per day. Packaging libraries for distribution with the operating system is a completely different model.
However, this brings up the question of what to do about OS-packaged Haskell libraries. Personally, what I do is just let the operating system manage my global package database, and manage my own user package database. Then if the operating system packaged libraries are updated, I may even just have to blow away and reinstall all of my user packages, but it's infrequent enough to not be an issue. Maybe there's something theoretically better we could do here, but I don't see it as a serious issue.

Something else that came up with respect to cabal-dev and rvm, for example, is that rvm also isolates the version of the compiler you're using, as well.
While these isolation environments are great for developers they are a sysadmin's and user's worst nightmare. See this LWN article about ruby problems from a sysadmin's point of view. The article talks about many problems, but has a section on the problems ruby's rvm causes. Suggesting and encouraging multiple versions of ghc is, in my opinion, a very bad idea. Sure, the tools can exist to help developers and such, but the use of multiple environments should not be encouraged for end users and it should not be the normal way of acquiring or installing the language.
I may even just have to blow away and reinstall all of my user packages, but it's infrequent enough to not be an issue. Maybe there's something theoretically better we could do here, but I don't see it as a serious issue.
I disagree strongly! From my point of view, this is the largest issue, even more than the others you posted. Sure, as a developer blowing away your cabal dir isn't a problem, but think about a sysadmin tasked with supporting some app (or multiple apps) on a stable system. The sysadmin isn't a haskell developer, has probably never used cabal before, doesn't understand the dependencies different apps will have, and just wants something to take care of installing the apps and keeping them up to date.
I think you need to add another problem to your list of hard problems, namely "We need to think of the lives of sysadmins, not just developers." The same reasoning behind your other problems should apply here. Just because other languages currently suck at this doesn't mean haskell must suck too. This is a hard problem, but we should think about ways to solve it, and take lessons from the problems sysadmins have with other languages.
Some ideas involve either making cabal a real packaging system (allow uninstall, track automatically installed dependencies, etc.) or build a real packaging system on top of cabal. Then integrate cabal with dpkg and the rpm database. For example, cabal could have a command "cabal pkgdb xmllist" or something which would spit out some standardized xml that could be parsed by dpkg and rpm (and others), it could even be a standardized format between cabal, rvm, python, perl's cpan, etc. Then have a standard set of commands that dpkg could execute when the user told dpkg (or more likely a GUI fronted for dpkg) to install the app.

Did you check out Sean Leather's multi-ghc at http://github.com/spl/multi-ghc for multiple ghc instances? Haven't tried it yet, but to me seems to be an rvm alike for ghc.
Brandon Simmons / Jan 21 2011 5:59 pm
Not really central to the discussion, but related to the PVP:
The rubygems package manager allows you to specify dependencies using a little wave arrow (~>) in this way:
gem install crack -v '~> 0.1.7'
which means "install the 'crack' library version 0.1.7, or the most recent minor version".
I would love if this were the default way to specify package dependencies in a .cabal file.
It would be easy for developers (in fact it would be a shame if
cabal initcould not do this automatically), it would passively enforce the PVP by making it the default, and in case of a versioning problem it tells people exactly what version of some dependency the author used when they wrote their module.
JD Marble / Jan 22 2011 4:52 am
Apparently other people consider this a significant problem, though, and if others are having problems even today with the PVP not being followed tightly enough, then I certainly retract my suggestion that we consider weakening it.
Here's a concrete example that just happened. The package hmatrix was updated to version 0.11.0.0 from 0.10.0.2 yesterday. Several new functions were exported. The dependent package hmatrix-gsl-stats doesn't declare an upper bound (hmatrix >= 0.10.0.0) and, as of today, won't build because ambiguous occurrences of the newly exported function names. I had to "ghc-pkg unregister" hmatrix and force cabal to install the older version to get everything to work (not sure if that was the "correct" way).

I have hired three Attorneys been appointed three Attorneys and spoken too countless others and I have yet to find one who will defend my civil rights. One turned totally against me so I had to fire him. Another refused to represent me and told me he had read my blogs and wanted nothing to do with my civil rights and told Upshur County he no longer would take Court appointed cases. Another did absolutely nothing to help me for over a year and still to this day. Another was appointed to me after my trial had already begun and new absolutely nothing about my case and Judge Parish asked the plaintiffs Attorney to recommend him and she specifically asked him if he knew an Attorney who knew nothing about the case. This she did in open Court. She then went to her chambers called him and adjourned proceedings until his arrival. When he arrived she allowed us to step out in hall to discuss my case the plaintiff Attorney followed us out there. We were out there only about two minutes and my Attorney spent most of that time talking to their Attorney before we returned to court and Parish resumed the trial. My Court appointed Attorney still new nothing about my case. I have yet to find an Attorney to help me. None of the six Attorneys three appointed and three bought and paid for would help me or tell me why they wouldn't The Countless number of Attorneys who refused to represent me told me why. They are afraid. Afraid to stand up to a Sheriff District Attorney and two Judges about my civil rights as a US citizen. I'm broke homeless ill on foot and at my wits end. If anyone out would be willing to stick his neck out to help me I would kiss your feet. If you can help please leave contact info in comment or email me at email@example.com. I used to beleive I lived in a great Country with "LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL". Thanks for taking time to read this blog. Thank God I still have free speech and thank you Gilmer Mirror for allowing me a place to vent.
