Instead, we'll concentrate on converting a very simple command language into an internal representation using lifting functions. Daniel Lyon suggested this "Mars rover" problem.
Problem statement: MARS ROVERS> module MarsRover where
> import Char
> import Data.List
A squad of robotic rovers are to be landed by NASA on a plateau on Mars. This plateau, which is curiously rectangular, must be navigated by the rovers so that their on-board cameras can get a complete view of the surrounding terrain to send back to Earth.Problem solution
A rover's position and location is represented by a combination of x and y co-ordinates and a letter representing one of the four cardinal compass points. The plateau is divided up into a grid to simplify navigation. An example position might be 0, 0, N, which means the rover is in the bottom left corner and facing North.
In order to control a rover, NASA sends a simple string of letters. The possible letters are 'L', 'R' and 'M'. 'L' and 'R' makes the rover spin 90 degrees left or right respectively, without moving from its current spot. 'M' means move forward one grid point, and maintain the same heading.
Assume that the square directly North from (x, y) is (x, y+1).
The first line of input is the upper-right coordinates of the plateau, the lower-left coordinates are assumed to be 0,0.
The rest of the input is information pertaining to the rovers that have been deployed. Each rover has two lines of input. The first line gives the rover's position, and the second line is a series of instructions telling the rover how to explore the plateau.
The position is made up of two integers and a letter separated by spaces, corresponding to the x and y co-ordinates and the rover's orientation.
Each rover will be finished sequentially, which means that the second rover won't start to move until the first one has finished moving.
The output for each rover should be its final co-ordinates and heading.
Test Input:
5 5
Expected Output:
This problem simply decodes into a state machine and a command interpreter, where the interpreter first lifts the input characters into their correspondingly-typed values.
Our scanner-parser for our very simple language grabs the next thing to be scanned from the input and returns updated input.The state machine, a.k.a Mars Rover, is:
> data Location = Loc Integer Integer
> data Orientation = N | E | S | W
> deriving (Show, Enum, Read)
> data Position = Pos Location Orientation
The typed commands are:
> data Direction = L | R deriving Show
> data Command = Turn Direction | Move
... with some Show instances for sanity checks and output
> instance Show Command where
> show (Turn dir) = show dir
> show Move = "M"
> instance Show Location where
> show (Loc x y) = show x ++ " " ++ show y
> instance Show Position where
> show (Pos loc dir) = show loc ++ " " ++ show dir
Lifting functions
> type Scan a = String → (a, String)
The lifting functions are rather simple affairs, as they convert what's in the input stream to their typed internal equivalents:
... I'm not quite getting the intent of reads: it seems to return either empty (denoting failure) or a singleton list containing the value and the continuation (that is, to be precise, the rest of the list after the first value is read). I'm not doubting its utility, but I do wonder that the list type was the return type if it behaves as a semideterimistic function (fail or singleton success) and not as a nondeterministic one (fail or multiple successes). The Maybe data type is more closely aligned with semideterministic functions; lists, nondet. So I believe that either the Either type or Maybe are a more appropriate return for reads.> liftOrient :: Scan Orientation
> liftOrient command = head $ reads command
> liftLoc :: Scan Location
> liftLoc command = let (x, locstr):_ = reads command
> (y, out):_ = reads locstr
> in (Loc x y, out)
At any rate, with the above two lifting functions, lifting the position of the rover (the first line in our command language) simplifies to chaining the above two lifting functions:
So, we have the scan and parse of the starting position of the rover done. We're half-way there! Now we simply need to scan then to parse the commands. But, the neat thing for us is the following: the commands are atomic (and just one character each). There's no need for the continuation scheme that we used for scanning positions above, we just need simply map the command lifting function over the line of commands (the "command line") to obtain our internal representation:> liftPos :: Scan Position
> liftPos command = let (loc, rest) = liftLoc command
> (dir, out) = liftOrient rest
> in (Pos loc dir, out)
Command interpreter> liftCmd :: Char → Command
> liftCmd 'L' = Turn L
> liftCmd 'R' = Turn R
> liftCmd 'M' = Move
What does a command do? It moves the rover or reorients the rover. What is movement? A change in Position (via a change in Location). What is reorientation? A change in Orientation. So, a Command's action (which is either to
move or to
turn the rover) results in a Δ (pron: "Delta") of the Position:
I suppose> type Δ a = a → a
> command :: Command → Δ Position
> command (Turn dir) (Pos loc orient)
> = Pos loc (turn dir orient)
> command Move pos = move pos
> move :: Δ Position
> move (Pos loc dir) = Pos (dLoc dir loc) dir
> where dLoc :: Orientation → Δ Location
> dLoc N (Loc x y) = Loc x (y+1)
> dLoc E (Loc x y) = Loc (x+1) y
> dLoc W (Loc x y) = Loc (x-1) y
> dLoc S (Loc x y) = Loc x (y-1)
> turn :: Direction → Δ Orientation
> turn dir orient
> = toEnum $ (intVal dir + fromEnum orient) `mod` 4
> where intVal :: Direction → Int
> intVal L = -1
> intVal R = 1
turn could've been modeled more realistically on radians, and would work just the same, but since the command language is so simple (turns are exactly 90o), I can get away with using the four points of the compass as (circularly) enumerated values.
The Glue
Given all the above, the rover simply runs as follows.
Note that I ignore the grid-size command, as it appears to be superfluous to the problem definition (collision detection between rovers and out-of-the-grid bounding errors are NOT covered in the problem statement ... since they choose to ignore these issues, I will, too).Summary> runRovers :: String → IO ()
> runRovers commnd = let (_:commands) = lines commnd
> in putStrLn $ run' commands
> where run' [] = ""
> run' (pos:cmds:rest)
> = let (start, _) = liftPos pos
> mycmds = map liftCmd cmds
> stop = foldl (flip command)
> start mycmds
> in show stop ++ "\n" ++ run' rest
> runTestEx :: IO ()
> runTestEx = runRovers "5 5\n1 2 N\nLMLMLMLMM\n"
> ++ "3 3 E\nMMRMMRMRRM"
So, there you have it, folks: scanning and parsing as mapped lifting functions. That all DSLs would be that simple, but that topic is for when I cover how I reinvent the Parsec wheel ... but in the meantime, you can read the next extry the covers scanning and parsing for this problem with the State monad transformer.

I received a very heartfelt email from a reader that I'm going to reprint below (with some grammatical fixes). It was written to me in response to my earlier post concerning when frugality finally pays off.
I've been debt free for five years, I own my own home, and I have almost 200K in investments that I've built up myself, but I still feel really inadequate when I go to work.
I see others buying expensive cars, dressing in very expensive clothes, using gadgets of all kinds, and talking about trips. They all own very expensive, gorgeous homes, while mine is small and not so nice.
I feel guilty every day at work, as though I am poor and they are rich. I know that some of them are in deep debt situations behind the scenes, but that's not what people see, and they put forth an air of success, and I don't feel like I appear successful at all.
This is a problem that I face in my life as well, and it's a tricky one to overcome. For many of us, appearing successful is a part of our employment, at least if we want to be able to be promoted or to fit in with our working peers.
Over time, I've come up with a toolbox of techniques that I use to manage expectations at work with my own frugal values at home. Hopefully, some of these techniques will make your work and home life feel more in balance.
Buy nice clothes that mix and match well. Once you have a foundation of quality clothing that mixes together quite well (for me, ties, dress shirts, khakis, and a small selection of jackets), every addition you make to this wardrobe makes it feel as though your clothing options have multiplied. Thus, you actually don't have to spend very much on clothes to look sharp – just occasionally add new individual items to the wardrobe and rotate out items that are starting to get old. The key is not to buy complete outfits that are incompatible with the majority of your other clothes. If you do this, you can appear as though you have an enormous wardrobe of nice clothes without having many at all.
Practice effective personal hygiene. Keep yourself as clean as possible. Wash your hands several times a day. Brush your teeth and use breath fresheners all the time. This may seem vain, but the real reason for it is so that you can put forth a positive impression of yourself on others.
Keep your car clean. Wash it regularly and keep it as shiny as you can. Try to minimize the junk inside (though with toddlers, this is sometimes difficult – my son likes to hide books in my truck and such). A clean car, even an older one, exhibits a lot more pride and value than a dirty one, and all it takes is a bit of water and soap.
Talk up your investments. When people are talking about their gadgets, compliment the gadgets. If they ask you what you're up to, talk about your investments. They're your "gadgets," after all. This quickly cultivates an air of success around you in a different fashion – just be aware that some people will completely lie about their investments in the workplace.
Know that you're doing the right thing. If you do these other things, you can feel as though your external appearances are up to the task. But what about internally? Work on drawing confidence from the fact that you're doing the right thing by saving your money and investing it. When the others sit there and talk about throwing money away on vacations and an above-ground pool, know quietly that you will have these things eventually if you want them and that you won't be sacrificing your future to have them.

Solar eclipse seen from space
People across Africa and Asia marvelled at the solar eclipse that took place on 15 January. At the same time it was being recorded from orbit – by ESA's Sun-watching Proba-2.
The small satellite is demonstrating new space technologies but also hosts scientific instruments to monitor the Sun and space weather. Proba-2's SWAP (Sun Watcher using APS detectors and imaging processing) instrument acquired the images used to produce this animation.
It is a miniaturised version of a similar instrument on the ESA/NASA SOHO observatory, but while SOHO produces a new image only around every quarter of an hour, SWAP can do so every minute.
The 15 January annular eclipse was the longest eclipse of the millennium so far, known as 'annular' because the outer part of the Sun's disc is left uncovered – the Moon being further away from Earth than during 'total' eclipses.
SOHO has never had the opportunity to witness a solar eclipse because it operates 1.5 million km from Earth in order to give it an uninterrupted view of the Sun. Proba-2 by comparison is in Earth orbit a scant 720 km away, giving the satellite a high probability of crossing the band of an eclipse as one occurs.
For the Royal Observatory of Belgium team overseeing SWAP, this initial eclipse sighting has been a useful means of assessing the instrument's optical performance and checking their orbital calculations while Proba-2 continues in its commissioning phase.

Re: noob Q: Why does ViEmu beep when I press esc in insert mode?
I'm only just getting to grips with Vi, Vim, and ViEmu so please excuse me if this is a simple question.
When I hit <esc> in INSERT mode, ViEmu puts me back into NORMAL mode as expected, but it beeps as if there's an error. This is pretty annoying - especially when playing back macros. I don't want to set ViEmu to be silent because I *do* want beeps when there is geniunely something going wrong.
What can I do to determine why ViEmu is beeping?

After months of flirting with the idea of combining with a rival, Jos. A. Bank has decided it is better suited for another men's clothing brand.
Or has it?
The chain that's known for its men's suits and two-for-one deals said today that it struck a deal to buy the parent company of Eddie Bauer, which sells rugged outerwear. The deal was reached with Everest Topco LLC to buy Everest Holdings LLC in a cash-and-stock deal valued at $825 million.
But the acquisition, which comes as Jos. A. Bank is being pursued by Men's Wearhouse Inc., isn't written in stone: Jos. A. Bank said Friday that it may end the Eddie Bauer deal if it receives an acquisition offer for its company that it feels is superior. It would have to pay a termination fee if it accepted another offer.
"We are looking for a chance to be more important for a specific customer demographic," Jos. A. Banks' CEO and president Neal Black told The Associated Press.
The deal comes in the middle of an extended courtship between Jos. A. Bank and Men's Wearhouse Inc. It began in October when Jos. A. Bank offered to buy its larger rival for $2.3 billion.
Men's Wearhouse scoffed at that offer, and turned the tables, offering to buy its rival for $1.54 billion. But after Jos. A Bank turned down that offer, Men's Wearhouse boosted its offer last month to $1.6 billion.
Men's Wearhouse said on Friday that it will consult with its legal and financial advisers to evaluate its options with regards to Jos. A. Bank. Its shares fell more than 5 percent in afternoon trading Friday on the news as investors apparently worried that a deal between it and Jos. A. Bank is less likely.
And some analysts on Friday question why Jos. A. Banks would choose to buy Eddie Bauer, which some believe is past its prime, over Men's Wearhouse.
Eddie Bauer and Jos. A. Bank both cater to similar customers — the 35-to-55-year old customer that has an annual income of $100,000 to about $125,000 and is budget conscious — but the companies sell different merchandise.
By comparison, Men's Wearhouse and Jos. A. Banks cater to different customers, but they offer similar types of clothing: suits and sport coats.
Stifel Nicholaus's Richard Jaffe said the fit of a Jos. A. Banks-Eddie Bauer combination "is much easier, but the benefits are less clear cut."
Jos. A. Bank said it has been identifying possible acquisition candidates over the past two years and that Eddie Bauer was one of the first buyout targets it considered.
While the two brands plan to run independent of each other after the transaction is complete, Jos. A. Bank CEO Neal Black told The Associated Press that both brands should learn from each other's strengths.
He plans to expand Jos. A. Bank, which has 629 stores in 44 states and the District of Columbia, into markets outside the U.S. He's also hoping to expand Eddie Bauer, which sells men's and women's clothing and accessories in 270 stores in the U.S., Canada and Japan, by opening about 50 stores a year.
The combined company is expected to have more than $2.1 billion in revenue in 2014 and adjusted earnings of $3.20 to $3.40 per share. Jos. A. Bank anticipates 2015 revenue of more than $2.2 billion for the combined company, with adjusted earnings in a range of $4.65 to $4.90 per share, including the impact of $25 million of savings.
Jos. A. Bank said that it will start an issuer tender offer to acquire up to 4.6 million of its common shares, or 16.4 percent of its outstanding stock, at $65 per share, or up to $300 million.
The Hampstead, Md.-based retailer said that the Eddie Bauer transaction includes $564 million in cash and about 4.7 million new shares of Jos. A. Bank stock issued to Everest Topco at $56 per share. The final share count is subject to adjustment based on the number of shares tendered in the issuer tender offer.
Everest Topco, which is part of Golden Gate Capital, may also earn up to an additional $50 million in cash based on Eddie Bauer's adjusted earnings for fiscal 2014.
When the transaction closes, Everest Topco will own about 16.6 percent of Jos. A. Bank's outstanding stock. It will also have the right to appoint two directors to Jos. A. Bank's board.
Closing of the deal is a condition to completion of the tender offer.
Men's Wearhouse shares fell $2.46 to close at $44.07, while Jos. A. Bank shares rose 16 cents to $55.08.

At first, I was struck by the fact that she was essentially calling me old by not including me in the "young enough to get faster" category (and perhaps she simply wasn't talking to me). But then I thought about the idea that there was an age at which a female could no longer get faster (okay, this concept was not entirely new ;)). But in my case, despite being 33, I don't think I've gotten to that point. Or rather, I know I haven't. Three years ago, I ran this same very hilly trail marathon in 3:53, last year in 3:49 and this year in 3:22 (and I ran every step in pain from my hip injury this year)!! Either I am not too old to improve or I missed out on my earlier potential, only now am I tapping into it and will never know how fast I could have been.
Nina, on the other hand, has a marathon PR of 2:49 and ran Sunday's race in 3:14. I'm not sure whether or not her "slowing down" can be attributed to being 48 years old or whether it is the simple fact that one has to train perfectly and a lot to be in 2:49 marathon shape. Honestly Nina still looks to be in 2:49 marathon shape. What a dream to look like that at 48!
|Nina, female winner, wasting no time at the aid station (does envying her arms make me a bad person?)
I also have to mention, Skovløberen is an awesome race. It is the only marathon I have run three times. I have previously called it my favorite Danish marathon. And it still is and it is SR's, too. It is challenging and beautiful and almost exclusively on trails in the woods of Hejede Overdrev. It includes the highest point on Sjælland and basically when all of the ice caps have melted from global warming, this Overdrev will be all that is left of our island. This marathon would definitely be turned into an ultra in the USA because it just attracts the ultra runner types.
|Daniel has been a very good friend through all of our moving back and forth. He has really developed into a strong runner and his New Balance Minimal trail shoes are my next shoe purchase...
|SR in yellow - drafting nicely. He went on to take second place in an awesome 2:58. I'm thinking he is in PR marathon shape, too.
|Hey look. That is me. Nike cotton t-shirt circa 1982. This is flat, so I must have been running. But I somehow always look like I'm walking. A natural pose runner? Naaah. Then I wouldn't get injured.
So yeah, I made the critical mistake of running a marathon on the Tuesday before Skovløberen and that is when my hip problems started. I KNEW it was idiotic! But thanks to hot yoga, I was able to run the whole distance.
But injuries and short tracks aside, I can harldy believe the improvements in my running times when compared to my old times here in Denmark. I came through the half marathon in 1:37 and actually had to force myself to slow down because I didn't want to do more damage to my hip. I feel I could so easily run a PR on a flat marathon course, if only my hip would stop hurting (I need to take a rest!).
BUT getting faster will also require that I have time to train and - oh my gosh - with the responsibilities of work and three kids (and a husband), I am quickly finding myself swamped and if I weren't so addicted to exercise, I probably would have given up on it entirely by now. (tomorrow I am presenting three scientific posters ... )
Maybe that's why there were over 90 men in the marathon on Sunday, but only 12 women!? But the story about how women who run long distances here are looked at as freaks is an entirely different story all together. Or is it?
Not just long distance runners, either. One of SR's colleagues saw me riding my bike with a yoga mat strapped to my backpack and said "isn't you wife too old to be running around doing things like that?". These two quotes about being "too old" have been reverberating in my head all week. Age has always been a meaningless concept to me -- and writing this has made me realize - that is how it should stay.

Terns at Inskip
While I was out at Inskip Point yesterday afternoon I saw a small flock of terns roosting on the sand at the point.
Crested Terns have been away nesting on islands off the coast but this flock had a mixture of birds at all stages. Some were in scruffy looking non-breeding plumage, there were a few that had almost full breeding plumage and there were some very noisy juveniles as well. I also saw two Little Terns which looked extra small standing in among the much larger Crested Terns.
I always think that Crested Terns are extra noisy and this flock was noisy and unsettled. Birds kept flying off and then coming back to rest again. This is a juvenile bird.
This photo shows why the flock was so disturbed. I was focused on the bird that was closer to me but the one in the background has a fish in its beak.

love the top shot with several of them having wings overhead. they're such beauties (since i don't have to listen to their noise!) :)ReplyDelete
Great action shots!! Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.ReplyDelete
I could sit and watch these beautiful birds all day.. many thanks for sharing them.ReplyDelete
I always enjoy watching Terns, they are one of my favorite shorebirds. Wonderful photos!ReplyDelete
Beautiful shots, Mick. I love terns!ReplyDelete
Wonderful images. I like the top shot the most.ReplyDelete
Your pics make me dream about sunny waters and bright white flights around me. And that's a beautiful image. Love your flight shots against the sparkling waters.ReplyDelete
great photographs, especially like the one taking off ....ReplyDelete
Beautiful shots of the Terms Mick. The first photo of the flock on the sandbar, some with their wings up and the in-flight shot of the juvenile are my favorites.ReplyDelete
Your weather looks much nicer than ours, Mick. Love the flight shots! The fish in the bill is a nice catch even if you were focused on the other one.ReplyDelete
Hi there - if you want noise, you should try walking through a nest colony banding the chicks! It would cause industrial deafness if you did it every day!ReplyDelete
Nice set of pictures.
Stewart M - Melbourne.
Such pretty birds -- love the one in flight. :)ReplyDelete
I posted the Crested Tern a few weeks ago but nothing like these shots!! Love the actions shots, Mick.ReplyDelete
that is really a big difference in size between the terns. Great shots of the little tern. :)ReplyDelete
They are so regal looking. We don't have them here, so enjoy seeing them.ReplyDelete
These are wonderful shots of birds I have never seen..love the one with the fish in the mouth....MichelleReplyDelete
Like Tex, I love the ones with their wings spread in the first shot.ReplyDelete
Wonderful series!
They are lovely, and your shots are superb!ReplyDelete
As graceful as they look in flight, on land they seem unproportioned and a little clumsy. Nice shots.ReplyDelete
Wonderful images of the terns, Mick!ReplyDelete
It must be wonderful to watch a big flock relatively close. Yes, noisy fellows, but so beautiful :-)!ReplyDelete

Logica CMG's CEO Martin Read is to retire after 14 years at the IT services firm.
Read said he has hastened his retirement plans in an attempt to quell "unsettling speculation" following Logica CMG's mixed trading results which saw profits grow but shares drop.
He will remain in the post while the board's independent nominations committee searches for a replacement CEO.
Logica CMG also said it was considering a shake up of the board's current size and structure and will shortly be looking for additional non-executive representation.
Speaking about his decision to retire, Read said: "The company is ideally placed for yet more success and will, I am sure, go on to achieve it in the next stage of its history."
The Anglo-Dutch firm's chairman Cor Stutterheim said he regretted Read's decision to quit.
Shares in Logica CMG are currently trading at 160.75 pence per share, up 2.39 per cent. ®

'Gator Boy' bit trapping alligator
Paul Bedard bit in calf, recovering at Broward Health Medical Center
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A 10-foot alligator bit one of the stars of the television show "Gator Boys" Thursday morning.
Jimmy Rifle said the gator bit Paul Bedard in the calf. He was listed in good condition at the Broward Health Medical Center.
"I suffered a minor alligator bite and am being treated for an infection," Bedard said in a statement. "I've been bitten over 30 times and this happens when you have a job like mine. Thank you for your thoughts and well wishes."
It's unclear if the bite was videotaped. The production company was shooting in Hollywood and Bedard wasn't on the shooting schedule.
"Yeah, he has been bit before. We all have. I have been bit seven times," said Rifle. "I got all my fingers."
Animal Planet issued a statement, saying: "We are aware of Paul Bedard's injury from a gator bite and understand he is being treated for an infection, but know very little information beyond that. Paul is an important part of the Animal Planet family and our thoughts are with him, but we can not comment on his personal medical situation."

like a lot of Lynch's stuff I found the vibe more interesting than the actual story . . . I try to look at his stuff now more like moving paintings instead of viewing them as normal narrative features. Lynch is a weird motherfucker, but I guess that's stating the obvious.
I can't fathom why the show's fans don't like the movie. Were they expecting more campy comedy? Considering the subject matter, I don't know how the movie could have been done better. It's a perfect prequel.
He has a lot of interesting images, so I think that's valid... But personally, I get the most out of Lynch's stories and characters. Better to view his movies as puzzles than moving paintings, I think.
Interview with DVD Producer Charles de LauzirikaCharles de Lauzirika: Well, I would love to work on a "Fire Walk With Me" Special Edition. As I mentioned earlier, I had it all planned to be apart of a complete "Twin Peaks" box set. But even if I'm not involved, I just hope those deleted scenes are finally released. I know of at least a couple people on various message boards who won't find true happiness in life unless those damn things come out.
I think it's my favorite lynch film.
Of all Lynch's films, Dune is the one I would like to see a true director's version of.
Quote from: socketlevel on July 14, 2011, 12:53:22 PMI think it's my favorite lynch film.I'm glad you said that. Not that I need affirmation, or validation, but it's a sentiment that I rarely see shared by other people.Initially, I assumed my affection for it was complimented by the fact that it was the very first Lynch film I'd ever seen... before the show itself, even. But the truth is, it's just really, really good. Scarier than most horror films and also disarmingly gentle at times.It's frightening, beautiful, unnerving and alternately emotionally exhausting and rewarding.About once a year I remember two things:1. I don't own a hi-def copy of this.2. There's a sea of deleted footage I still haven't seen and could, potentially, never see.And it bums me the fuck out.

Thanks for the hoops, food and fantasy football
By Justin Tierney
Send a link to a friend
[November 20, 2012]
The holidays are officially upon
us this week.
But, most of all, it's a time to be thankful and to celebrate all
that is good.
Like all of you, I, too, have things to be thankful for --
especially as a sports fan.
Just what am I thankful for in 2012, exactly?
Well ...
Basketball has begun
While I recognize that football is America's game, and baseball
is its national pastime, my favorite sport has always been, and will
forever be, played on the hardwood.
Basketball is in full swing now, at every level where the game is
played, from the pros down to the ninth-graders.
As is my tradition, I don't much follow the NBA at the moment.
After the NCAA tournament is completed, I'll tune in.
Until then, my focus will be primarily in three places: the
Illini, the Lynx and at the local high school level.
Although they've yet to face a quality opponent, the Illini are
giving me positive vibes. Most recently, they completed an emotional
comeback victory over Hawaii with a buzzer-beater by D.J.
Richardson. New coach John Groce seems to have the Illini playing at
an up-tempo pace, a welcome change from Bruce Weber's offense when
it didn't have Deron Williams at point guard.
Speaking of up-tempo, there's a special group of basketball
players at Lincoln College this season. New coach Pat Lepper has the
Lynx playing at a furious pace, especially on defense, where they
pressure the ball with nonstop intensity. Lepper is using a deep
rotation to his advantage, with 10 players seeing significant
minutes. The roster is made up primarily of freshman, but there may
be enough talent on the roster to offset their lack of experience.
If nothing else, their combination of talent, intensity on defense
and unselfishness on offense makes the Lynx a fun group to watch.
By the way, the Lady Lynx are also under way and off to a fine
start, with locals Edraniel Tookes and Angie Ruff seeing regular
High school basketball also starts this week, and there's plenty
of it to be seen locally, with LCHS hosting its annual Eaton
Electrical Thanksgiving Round Robin Tournament all week at Roy S.
Anderson Gymnasium.
The Railers are fairly young this season, and with that comes a
bit of mystery. Still, they're not entirely inexperienced, with
junior Max Cook, sophomore Gavin Block and senior Will Podbelsek
returning with starting experience, as well as junior Ed Bowlby, who
also saw significant minutes last year. Likely to join them in the
playing rotation are juniors Joey Olden, Tyler Horchem and Austin
Krusz. It's possible that some sophomores could contribute by
season's end as well.
My prediction for the Railers: They will progress considerably
over the course of the season. The young group may struggle at the
season-opening tournament, which is loaded with talent. But, as this
young group matures, the skill is there to be a formidable
postseason team. I expect Cook and Block to carry most of the
offensive load, but the emergence of a third or fourth reliable
scoring threat could make the Railers especially dangerous.
Defensively, Lincoln can't let their youth be an excuse for a lack
of toughness. If everything comes together under Neil Alexander's
guidance, I expect the Railers to approach 20 wins and be a strong
contender for a regional title.
[to top of second column]
As for other local teams, look for big seasons from the Illini
Central Cougars and the Mount Pulaski Lady Toppers. The Cougars
return several contributors to last season's run to the state
tournament in Peoria and should be among the best small-school teams
in the state. In Mount Pulaski, the Lady Toppers should contend for
a regional title behind a strong senior class, many of whom were
also members of the Class 1A runner-up volleyball team.
Football, fantasy or reality
When I'm not watching basketball, you're likely to find me poring
over my fantasy football rosters this fall.
Because, this time of year, fantasy football is the fabric of
many of my friendships. My best friends and I celebrated our
league's 10th year this season. Dating back to high school, the
fantasy football league has played a significant role in sustaining
our friendships. College took many of us to different ends of the
state, but the distance was no match for fantasy football's magnetic
Now, as we grow older, our priorities have changed. Marriages,
careers and other obligations tend to occupy our time. But, on many
Sundays, we still find time to enjoy the fellowship of fantasy
football. I've especially enjoyed the last five Sundays, mostly
because my team has won each game.
I can be thankful for football in a realistic sense as well.
Although I don't truly have a favorite team, I'm enjoying what looks
to be a fairly balanced NFL, without a true top contender for a
Super Bowl victory. Some would say Houston or Atlanta, but I'm not
buying into either quite yet. Houston has never faced postseason
pressure, and Atlanta has looked bad the last three weeks.
I think we'll see more traditional powerhouses rise in the coming
weeks. In the NFC, I expect the Packers and Giants will each enter
postseason play on hot streaks. In the AFC, I predict that Tom Brady
and Peyton Manning will once again meet for a trip to the Super
Family, friends and the feel of writing
But naturally, the things I am most thankful for are my friends
and family. Year in and year out, I am blessed to be surrounded by
their love and support.
I'm also thankful this year for the opportunity I've had to write
for you, the readers at Lincoln Daily News. After a couple of years
away, I have quite enjoyed my part-time foray back into sports
journalism. You can expect to see more from me in the coming months
in LDN.
Hopefully, they'll be the type of stories that you'll be thankful

Typhoon Ketsana dumped a month's worth of rain on the Philippines in just 12 hours this weekend. Since then, the death toll has been rising. At least 240 people have been killed and thousands have been left homeless as a result of the storm, known on the Pacific Island as Ondoy.
Many Filipinos living in the Bay Area say they still don't know whether their relatives and friends are among the dead or displaced. They say they haven't been able to get through traditional phone lines and cell service is spotty -- but Internet is still working.
So, they're turning to social media sites, where citizen journailists are uploading pictures, videos and updates 24/7 to sites like Twitter, Facebook, Flickr and YouTube.
Tweets and status updates range from calls for medication and other donations to information about routes to avoid flooded zones and accounts of heroic rescues.
Within hours of starting a Facebook page regarding the disaster, the Filipino foundation ABS CBN reported donations amounting to thsousands of dollars.
It's the latest example of how the new era of digital news is turning everyday people into international journalists.
Bay Area Filipino families looking for information and support will gather at the Daly City United Methodist Church Tuesday at 8 p.m. to see how they can help.

EDMONTON—The baffling motive for a bloody and deadly attack on workers at an Edmonton grocery warehouse remained a mystery Monday as an accused made his first court appearance, but police were at least able to say they believe the victims were chosen at random, not targeted.
Police Chief Rod Knecht told reporters that investigators are continuing to talk to dozens of witnesses in order to understand more about the crime and the alleged killer.
And although all six men who were stabbed—two of them fatally—at the huge Loblaw distribution complex in northwest Edmonton on Friday are black, Knecht said it doesn't appear race was a reason for the rampage.
Knecht said officers believe the victims were selected at random as their attacker walked through the building.
"We're obviously keeping our minds open to potential motives," Knecht said. "We continue to investigate, glean more information, learn more about the individual that's been charged."
Witnesses have said a Caucasian man wearing a military-style vest went through the workplace, slashing and stabbing with a knife in each hand.
Police quickly identified Jayme Pasieka as a suspect and distributed his photo. The 29-year-old was arrested a few hours later without incident as he was sitting in a vehicle in an industrial area on the opposite end of the city.
He faces several charges—first-degree murder, attempted murder, aggravated assault, and weapons offences. Police said as they continue to investigate and talk to witnesses, there could be more charges.
A handcuffed Pasieka appeared on closed-circuit TV from the Edmonton Remand Centre. He confirmed his name to the judge but said nothing else.
The judge accepted a request from defence lawyer Brandon Tralenberg that the case be put over to May 5.
"Obviously there's a lot of things that have happened. There's a lot of people that want some answers," Tralenberg said outside the courtroom.
"There's a lot of information that's come from the police interviews, people that are apparent witnesses, so this is going to take some time."
Assistant chief Crown prosecutor Kimberley Goddard told media that her office is taking the case "very seriously."
"Given the large number of civilian witnesses and the large amount of evidence we have, it could be a very complicated case," she said. "In terms of length of time and putting it all together properly, we're prepared to put as many resources and as much time as required to make sure that this case goes off without a hitch."
Search warrants for Pasieka's apartment and vehicle show police were looking for any writings "that indicate workplace conflict, mind set, or pre-planning or motive for the incident."
The documents also indicate that police believe Pasieka had been drinking wine.
Other court records show Pasieka has a history of erratic behaviour. He was convicted in 2010 of assault with a weapon and uttering threats and sentenced to 15 months probation.
Court heard that he egged a neighbour's vehicle and set a heart-shaped fire on their street. He told police he did what he did in the name of the Queen and that he one day wanted to join either the police or military.
His father testified Pasieka had trouble understanding things following a concussion in an accident a few years earlier.
Loblaws also said Monday it was reopening the warehouse for those workers who wanted to return.
"We had initially anticipated a longer closure," said a statement from the company. "But the decision was advised by professional grief counsellors, based on their belief in the value of work and workplace interactions following traumatic events of this sort."
Thierno Bah, 41, and Fitzroy Harris, 50, have been identified as the men killed in the warehouse attack.
Friends said Bah, originally from Guinea, came to Montreal in 2009. He had a master's degree in nanotechnology but had trouble finding work in his field because his English was weak. He moved to Edmonton a few months ago with his wife and four children.
Harris's family described the married grandfather as a talented DJ who loved reggae music.

Patients say they want transparency and instant access to their healthcare information, yet most remain on the sidelines when it comes to using these tools. Maybe that's no surprise when many physicians are still getting up to speed on EHRs. That may change — and soon. Stage 2 of the federal EHR meaningful use incentive programs requires that eligible providers make more healthcare information available electronically to more patients starting in 2014 — personal health records (PHRs) can help physicians reach that goal.
Still, meaningful use is not the primary motivator for PHR adoption, say medical practices using the technology successfully. Instead, it is driven by patient expectations, adept integration of information systems, and demands for value from physicians, patients, and payers.
So far, the PHR installations that seem to gain the quickest acceptance from patients share three elements: user-friendly technology, tie-in to a medical practice's website, and the encouragement of physician advocates.
Here's more information on what's driving the adoption of PHRs, what value they bring to practices and patients, and key tips for implementing them and encouraging patients to use them.
Patient expectations
Although recent surveys indicate disinterest in PHRs among patients — about 10 percent of Americans used them in 2011, according to Deloitte Center for Health Solutions — Brock Morris, chief information officer at Redmond, Wash.-based Pediatric Associates, hears a different story from parents of the practice's patients. That's probably no surprise, he says. Many of the parents bringing their children to the 85-physician multisite practice also work for the city's top private employer, Microsoft Corporation. "The parents of our patients tend to be a technically-minded demographic," Morris says. "We get asked all the time: 'What new services and solutions can you provide us?'"
PHRs, he adds, are a natural extension of his patients' parents' everyday experiences. "The parents are used to having information at their fingertips and being able to control it. They are frustrated when they want their child's immunizations or a growth chart and are told they have to wait a few days. In almost every other environment today, people get information quickly and can manage it themselves."
As younger, more tech-savvy patients become more active users of medical practices, the drive toward PHR adoption will increase. Indeed, Morris notes that younger generations of patients, including the parents he hears from at Pediatric Associates, gravitate to websites, text messaging, and other forms of communication.
Improved capabilities
Pediatric Associates is one of several practices around the nation involved in pilot testing interfaces between Microsoft's Web-based HealthVault PHR and their EHRs — Greenway's EHR in the case of Pediatric Associates. The approach aims to tie PHRs to EHRs via websites and, potentially, tie both to the medical devices patients use at home.
Morris says the beta version his practice is trying out allows parents to pull continuity-of-care documents (CCDs) about their child's care from the EHR and into HealthVault. Parents also can hook up their child's glucose monitor — and soon, other home health devices — to electronically enter data into the PHR to share with the child's medical team.
The pilot projects hope to overcome a barrier hobbling the prospects of free-standing, or "untethered," PHRs — lack of tight integration with a patient's clinical records and his provider's website.
Any individual can use HealthVault on the Web or via apps to create untethered accounts. But because HealthVault also supports common exchange formats, like CCDs, it essentially becomes a tethered system capable of electronically connecting with home health devices and a configured EHR.

Wooster Manor home-invasion victim sues housing authority
DANBURY -- The 85-year-old woman who was brutally beaten in a home-invasion robbery in September is suing the city's Housing Authority for failing to provide adequate security at the West Wooster Street apartment building where the attack occurred.
The attorney representing Ruth Ahearn, a resident of the Wooster Manor senior housing complex, filed the lawsuit Wednesday in state Superior Court in Danbury.
"This is one of the most obviously avoidable home invasions we've encountered," said attorney Joel Faxon of New Haven. "The violent attack on Mrs. Ahearn easily could have been prevented."
Housing Authority Executive Director Carolyn Sistrunk said she couldn't comment on the suit.
"We have received the complaint and we are reviewing it as we speak," she said.
Ahearn, who lived in the 98-unit building for more than two decades, suffered a fractured hip, a concussion and numerous cuts and bruises when 26-year-old Donny Jackson forced his way into her seventh-floor apartment just after midnight on Sept. 7 and physically assaulted her in the course of a robbery, police said.
Neighbors, alerted by her screams, interrupted the attack, likely preventing even more serious injuries, according to Danbury police.
Jackson faces multiple charges, including robbery, burglary and assault, all in the first-degree, as well as criminal possession of a firearm, which police said he used to threaten the neighbors. He has pleaded not guilty and is being held in lieu of $1 million bond pending a court appearance on Nov. 25.
In the wake of the attack, city and Housing Authority officials met with residents of the seven-story building and promised to expedite security improvements, including better lighting and surveillance cameras.
Police said Jackson, who has a relative living at Wooster Manor, gained access to the building by buzzing another occupant on the intercom system, who then unlocked the front door remotely.
"The Housing Authority had knowledge that the senior housing complex was located in a high-crime area and there had been prior breaches of security," Faxon said. "Just a few years ago, the complex had a guard on duty to protect some of the community's most vulnerable citizens. But it decided to take the cheap way out ... and eliminate the security guard."
Had the guard been in place, the attack would never have happened, he said.
"Mrs. Ahearn's road to recovery will likely be a long one, and as such, the Housing Authority should take full responsibility for its lapses in security," Faxon said.

MLS Cup 2003 – the last time either the Chicago Fire or San Jose Earthquakes reached the league's penultimate match and still a bitter memory for many of the Fire Faithful. For those that don't remember Saturday night's visitors came away with a 4-2 victory at the Home Depot Center that day, winning their second championship in three seasons.
Seven years on, few that took part in the highest scoring MLS Cup final still remain with their clubs. As Saturday's match looms, the Fire's Justin Mapp remains the only player from either side that took the field that day, joined only by San Jose Earthquakes head coach Frank Yallop in playing a part in that year's final.
A lot has happened with both teams since that day, but take a look at the flux in San Jose: Yallop took the Canadian national team job, the Earthquakes moved to Houston and became the Dynamo, Yallop returned to Major League Soccer with the Los Angeles Galaxy, the San Jose Earthquakes returned to the league in 2008 and along with their comeback was the head coach that led the club to two MLS Cups.
The ex-Ipswich Town defender reflected on the match during Friday's training session at Toyota Park.
"Obviously it was a fantastic day but I remember Chicago had a really good team that year," said Yallop. "We went into halftime up 2-0 but with the amount of chances they had it really should have been 6-2 to Chicago. As we know, that's soccer. They got back into the game at 3-2 and then Pat Onstad's penalty save spurred us on to score another goal. It was a great occasion for us but I've always felt the Fire were unlucky in that game."
The youngest player on the field for either side that day, 19-year-old Justin Mapp entered the match in the 70th minute with the Fire trailing 3-2 and looking for the equalizer. Now in his eighth season with the club, the 25-year-old veteran has had plenty of time to reflect on that day.
"That was a very disappointing result," said Mapp. "We haven't gotten ourselves over the hump to get back since, though we've come close a number of times. It was my second season in MLS and it made me think 'I'll be back every year'. As that hasn't happened, the attitude changes and if I get back again, I would put more thought into cherishing the moment. I don't dwell on it now though -- it's in the past."
Following last Saturday's 2-2 draw away to Colorado, the Fire come into Saturday night's home opener seeking their first win of 2010. San Jose enters after a disappointing 3-0 home loss to reigning MLS Cup champion Real Salt Lake on March 27.
History, at least at home, heavily favors the Fire as the club is 7-1-5 all-time against San Jose in the Windy City. The lone blemish on the home record came in 1999 when the Earthquakes earned a victory by virtue of the old MLS shootout.
"We've had five good days of training," said Mapp. "The guys are working hard and ready to play against someone else. We were fortunate to get a good result against Colorado last week but we're looking for three points at home Saturday night. I think it's been five or six months since we last played at Toyota Park and we're all excited to get out in front of our home fans and I'm sure our supporters are more than ready to do their part on Saturday."
When the teams line up in the tunnel at Toyota Park there's a chance that a familiar face will be starting in the San Jose net. Former Chicago goalkeeper Jon Busch makes his return to Toyota Park three short weeks after being waived by the club. Busch joined the Earthquakes recently and will be challenging Joe Cannon for the starting role throughout the season.
"It will be a little weird seeing Buschy on the other side. He obviously was a big part of this club for the last few years and to see him back here with another team so early in the season is strange, but that's just the nature of this business and we're all professionals. It'll be good to see our friend, even if he's on the other side of things now."

Samsung, Motorola Sign Contract
Samsung Electronics and Motorola have signed an agreement with to share their technological information with each other.
The cross-license agreement is the latest move by global tech firms to try and avoid costly legal disputes over intellectual property. Samsung gave no details regarding the agreement's conditions or terms, saying just that they are confidential elements, according to the contract signed by the two companies.
Samsung, which made the announcement in a filing to the Korea Exchange, said it was not allowed to release details or terms of the agreement.
Last year, Samsung signed an agreement with Sony regarding the sharing of patents on basic technologies such as those associated with chips and industry standard technologies.
Motorola and Samsung are the second and third-largest mobile global phone makers respectively.
A pact like this one was signed by LG Electronics and Matsushita early this year to settle a dispute over plasma display technologies and to cross-license patents on plasma, personal computers and DVDs.

QNAP NAS HD Station - The Next-Generation Media Player Overview (Page 1)
HD Station from QNAP takes your typical networked storage appliance from the closet, to the center of your living room, with a full range of options.
If you would have told me a year ago that I would be watching my collection of movies and television shows straight from my QNAP appliance, without the need for a standalone media player, I would have told you to get lost. The fact is, I never dreamed QNAP would take the plunge and offer such amazing features to the average consumer - I mean, we are the little guys, right?
In February of this year, QNAP announced the availability of the x69L and Pro NAS appliances. With these they also launched the greatest feature to come to the NAS platform in quite some time, HD Station. HD Station allows for those that have purchased an x69L or Pro NAS appliance to enjoy their music, photo and video collections right on the HDTV in the living room via the HDMI output on the NAS.
As HD Station has grown, QNAP has added the additional functionality of full web browser with Chrome, the ability to access the NAS administration desktop via MyNAS and even the ability to watch streaming video via the built-in YouTube app.
Today we take a close look at QNAP's HD Station and what it's all about.
HD Station Installation and Setup
The installation procedure for HD Station and its many applications starts by heading over to the tab set aside just for it. Here you will find the web browser in the form of Google Chrome, along with MyNAS, YouTube and the star of the show, XBMC. For those of you that don't know, XBMC started out on the first generation Xbox console. Xbox Media Center or XBMC has enjoyed great success over the years, with a number of standalone media players being developed using their software. In addition to their success, XBMC almost has a cult type following with many developers making new programs for the platform each and every day.
Now that you have taken care of the HD Station installation, feel free to plug in a HDMI cable to back of your NAS and fire up your HDTV. This is where everything comes together, above you can see we have many options to choose from. If you feel like browsing the web and reading some of the great articles here at TweakTown, fire up chrome in a pinch or need to change settings on your NAS, but don't want to run to your PC? Head on over to MyNAS where you will get the full administration panel at your fingertips. Additionally, if you have the need to view what's trending on YouTube, there's an app for that too. Of course, the meat of the pie lies in XBMC and where the full HD Station experience comes together.
Above we have fired up Chrome, and of course headed over to TweakTown.com. Now you may wonder how you get around in a browser, without a mouse and keyboard. It's simple really, with the release of HD Station, QNAP deployed keyboard and mouse support. Additionally, QNAP has their very own app called Qremote that we will touch on later in the article.
The MyNAS application allows the full administration menu right on your TV, and with keyboard and mouse support, it operates the same as it does on your PC.
As I stated above, the YouTube app allows you to search through popular categories such as music, gaming and sports, but also features a trending section, so you can see the latest "hot" videos on YouTube.
Additionally, each application in the HD Station menu has its own configuration.
The display tab allows you to configure the HDMI output to fit your HDTV's resolution.
The preferences tab has the audio output configuration, along with language and remote control selection.

Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse
The Roman L. Hruska U.S. Courthouse's four-part atrium roof feature gives the building a unique profile, while allowing natural light to illuminate the atrium. This courthouse was the first in the nation to be commissioned under GSA's Design Excellence Program.

I had the pleasure of working with Amanda of Lil' Sprout Greetings on all of the printable designs for the party, including the party invitation and welcoming sign.
Upon arrival, guests were welcomed, given a safari hat and binoculars, and sent on a reptile safari. It was amazing how many snakes and lizards they found crawling around!
Lil' Sprout Greetings. Snacks included Gecko Grapes, Python Pretzels, Alligator Apples, and Turtle Trail Mix. I also created frog-topped, chocolate dipped Oreo cookies and a reptile safari cake (don't judge me too harshly...this was my first attempt covering a cake with fondant).
The highlight of the party was a live, hands on reptile show which was led by a Wildlife Educator from a local company called Reptiles Alive. The children were able to view and touch live reptiles (turtles, lizards, frogs, and yes....snakes!) while the educator shared fun facts about each animal. The kids loved it!
|Images: Reptiles Alive!
The birthday boy even got to help hold the reptiles and pass them around for his friends to touch. Better him than me! He was so happy, as you can see!
We had a great time celebrating my little man's big day!

Latte Printer Art
If Starbucks and Staples got married, they might birth this latte printer machine. Recently featured at a graphics trade show in Los Angeles, the OnLatte repurposes your standard inkjet printer to use caramel syrup instead of ink. Nothing says good coffee like a foamy recreation of the winged Pegasus. [via the Kitchn]

30 June is the 181st day of the year (182nd in leap years). There are 184 days remaining until the end of the year.
- 1997: Harry Potter gets a note from Dumbledore, telling him they are to seek out a Horcrux. While on the way to the Headmaster's Tower, Harry meets Sybill Trelawney, who reveals to him that Severus Snape was the one who overheard the Prophecy and told part of its contents to Voldemort, and thus was, to some degree, responsible for the the Potters' murders. Harry travels with Dumbledore to a seaside cave and retrieves the false Horcrux, while attacked by Inferi. Harry and Dumbledore return to Hogwarts, Dumbledore is confronted by Draco Malfoy and Death Eaters atop the Astronomy Tower. A battle has ensued downstairs. Severus Snape kills Albus Dumbledore, on the latter's instruction. McGonagall and the Heads of House consider closing the school. [1]
Behind the scenesEdit
- 1962: Predrag Bjelac, the actor who played Igor Karkaroff in the film adaption of Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, is born.
- 2009: The video game adaptation of Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince is released.
External linksEdit
- 30 June on Wikipedia
Notes and referencesEdit
- ↑ According to Scrimgeour (and Hermione) in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Chapter 7 (The Will of Albus Dumbledore), the Ministry has the right to maintain possession of Dumbledore's bequests for thirty-one days only, in accordance with the Decree for Justifiable Confiscation. Dumbledore's bequests were delivered to Ron, Hermione and Harry on 31 July 1997: Harry Potter's seventeenth birthday. As it is referred in that chapter that the "thirty-one days are up", Dumbledore died exactly thirty-one days earlier, in the evening of 30 June.

We think of laws as general and impersonal, but legislatures also pass "private" or "local" laws directed to individuals or localities -- sometimes fairly routine, sometimes to redress injustices. These private laws were more common in earlier days and in Indiana are preserved in books published for each session of the General Assembly. Some are on line, some not -- but in either case the titling and cataloging are irregular. Many libraries catalog them as serials. Since the legislature began meeting in December and carried over into the next year, dating can be an issue. GoogleBooks makes its online copies rather hard to find. I have located six years there, 1843-1847 and 1850.
La Porte County, Indiana, is mentioned 30 times in these six books, an average of five items per year. They included:
* a few cases of aliens who owned and sold land,
* several incorporations of local institutions and businesses, usually naming the directors,
Full details and access instructions if you get stuck are over at Midwest Roots.
In addition to looking for particular people, these books can be used as a kind of on-the-scene history, a bit like the "annuals" that encyclopedias used to publish. Names of businesses and institutions changed over time, and often the hardest part of researching people connected with them is figuring out what they were called at the time. So it may be helpful to know that in 1846 the legislature amended the charter of La Porte University so that its medical school would be known as Indiana Medical College. Those institutions are long gone but they were significant in early Midwest medical education.
Local histories tend to focus on those enterprises and individuals that succeeded and stuck around; the lawmakers didn't know the future, so this is a place to look for a "clay turnpike company," plank roads, and off-brand railroads that may have never run a train. History is often written by the winners; genealogy is written by everybody.
ADDED TUESDAY MORNING 31 July:
Two useful sets of information from this source in Indiana have been extracted, indexed, and published:
Malinda E. E. Newhard, Name Changes Granted by the Indiana General Assembly Prior to 1852 (Harlan, IN: author, 1981)
Malinda E. E. Newhard, Divorces Granted by the Indiana General Assembly Prior to 1852 (Harlan, IN: author, 1981). Note that in some cases the General Assembly actually granted the divorce, and in others it authorized the filing of a court case locally.
Newhard cited General Laws 1817-1851, Local Laws 1835-1851, and Special Laws 1818, 1824, and 1831.
