League play will be ongoing, with ranks updated on a game-to-game basis. Games can be played in WATT (i.e. Conference Room 2) and wherever the San Francisco folks figure out a spot to play (TBD).
League matches should preferably be played as best of 5 games (or best of 3 when in a rush or others are waiting to play) to 11 points. This is a bit different from the traditional OPOWER 21, but give it a try. You might find the games to move more quickly and be a bit more exciting. Make sure to switch sides after each game to mitigate any one side's effect on the outcome. For more details on the rules of play see this handy reference
The eight top ranked players will compete in a single-elimination tournament on Cinco De Mustache for the 2011 OPONGER title. Contenders for the title will play for best 3/5 games.
Beyond that, rules are for whiners and cheats. If you have questions or need a ref for something, talk to Sean Owen (a.k.a. sean@sucks.com).
Rankings are calculated using two methods:


There are definitely a few athletes who are overly analytical about their training. A log book can be cluttered with too much analysis and detail. Be careful of this! The classic saying, "Paralysis by analysis" is to be avoided if possible! Remember the primary reason you are training is for enjoyment and relaxation, and of course for the results. Use this journal with these central feelings in mind, so the journal does not get you bogged down.

title: "Mercurial Bash Prompts"
snip: "Always know where you are."
created: 2009-03-17 21:34:55
flattr: true
%}
{% block article %}
I've been spending a lot of time in the Terminal lately. I use bash, and it
lets you configure the prompt pretty much however you want. I won't go into
how to do the most basic configuration here - if you want to get up to speed
check out this [guide][].
In this post I'm just going to talk about one simple addition that I
personally find very helpful: displaying the current branch of a [Mercurial][]
repository.
Update: the hg-prompt Extension
---------------
I swear, this is the last time I'm updating this entry. I went ahead and made
an extension for Mercurial called
[hg-prompt](http://stevelosh.com/projects/hg-prompt/) that does everything
much more elegantly. **Use that instead!**
[guide]: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/linux/library/l-tip-prompt/
[Mercurial]: {{links.mercurial}}
[git version]: http://gist.github.com/31631
My Starting Point
-----------------
Here's what my prompt looked like a couple of days ago:
![My bash prompt without the branch displayed](/media/images{{parent_url}}/prompt-without-branch.png "My bash prompt without the branch displayed.")
Here's the code in my `.bashrc` file to create it. I've stripped out the color
information to save space.
:::bash
export PS1='\n\u at \h in \w\n$ '
I use the same prompt on every computer I work with, so with this prompt I can
see which user I'm logged in as, which machine I'm on, and where in the
filesystem I am. It's a lot of useful information at a glance but doesn't seem
too cluttered.
I have a linebreak in there because the filesystem path can get pretty long.
If I kept it all on one line most of my commands would be wrapped around
anyway, which I find harder to read.
Adding the Mercurial Branch
---------------------------
I use Mercurial for version control, and I use branches quite a bit when I'm
developing. One problem with this is that it's easy to forget which branch I'm
on at a given moment. I *could* just use `hg branch` to find out, but that
gets tedious to type, even when aliased to something like `hb`.
A few days ago I got the idea that I could just display the current branch on
my prompt whenever I'm in a directory that's part of a repository. Here's what
my prompt looks like now:
![My bash prompt with the branch displayed](/media/images{{parent_url}}/prompt-with-branch.png "My bash prompt with the branch displayed.")
And here's the code in my `.bashrc` that does it:
:::bash
hg_in_repo() {
hg branch 2> /dev/null | awk '{print "on "}'
}
hg_branch() {
hg branch 2> /dev/null | awk '{print $1}'
}
export PS1='\n\u at \h in \w $(hg_in_repo)$(hg_branch)\n$ '
The `on branchname` piece is only displayed when you're in a directory that's
part of a Mercurial repository.
I've split it up into two separate functions because I wanted to have `on` and
`branchname` displayed in two different colors. I couldn't seem to include the
color codes in the awk command, so I split it up and put the colors in the
export statement with the rest of them. If you don't care about colors (or
don't mind having both words the same color) you can just collapse it into one
function.
Updated: Is It Dirty?
---------------------
After I posted this entry Matt Kemp commented with a link to a [git
version][]. One feature that version has is a simple indicator of whether or
not the repository you're in is dirty.
And the code in `.bashrc`:
:::bash
hg_dirty() {
hg status --no-color 2> /dev/null \
| awk '$1 == "?" { print "?" } $1 != "?" { print "!" }' \
| sort | uniq | head -c1
}
hg_in_repo() {
[[ `hg branch 2> /dev/null` ]] && echo 'on '
}
hg_branch() {
hg branch 2> /dev/null
}
export PS1='\n\u at \h in \w $(hg_in_repo)$(hg_branch)$(hg_dirty)\n$ '
This gives you a `?` after the branch when there are untracked files (and
*only* untracked files), and a `!` if there are any modified, tracked files.
Updated: Bookmarks Too!
----------------
I've added another piece to show bookmarks as well. I've also figured out how
to add colors directly in the functions, so here's the (much nicer) updated
code all at once:
:::bash
DEFAULT="[37;40m"
PINK="[35;40m"
GREEN="[32;40m"
ORANGE="[33;40m"
hg_dirty() {
hg status --no-color 2> /dev/null \
| awk '$1 == "?" { unknown = 1 }
$1 != "?" { changed = 1 }
END {
if (changed) printf "!"
else if (unknown) printf "?"
}'
}
hg_branch() {
hg branch 2> /dev/null | \
awk '{ printf "\033[37;0m on \033[35;40m" $1 }'
hg bookmarks 2> /dev/null | \
awk '/\*/ { printf "\033[37;0m at \033[33;40m" $2 }'
}
export PS1='\n\e${PINK}\u \
\e${DEFAULT}at \e${ORANGE}\h \
\e${DEFAULT}in \e${GREEN}\w\
$(hg_branch)\e${GREEN}$(hg_dirty)\
\e${DEFAULT}\n$ '
These are some pretty simple changes but they help keep me sane. One thing to
be aware of: if you use all of these it does slow down the rendering of the
prompt by a tiny, but noticeable, amount. I'm not the strongest bash scripter,
so if there's a better way to do this (or a way that will make it faster and
reduce the delay) please let me know!
**UPDATE:** Matt Kemp posted a link to a [git version][] of this below. If you
use git, check it out! One thing that version has that I didn't think of is an
indicator of whether the repository is dirty (has uncommitted changes). I'm
going to go ahead and steal that idea for my prompt too.
**UPDATE:** By request, I've written [an entry about the
colors](/blog/entry/2009/3/18/candy-colored-terminal/).
**UPDATE:** Kevin Bullock pointed out that the Python interpreter needed to be
started a bunch of times which will degrade performance. I've changed up the
"dirty" code a bit to reduce the number of interpreters needed. It's still not
as efficient as his version, but I think it's about as good as I'm going to
get if I want separate colors for the pieces and don't want to rely on an
external script.
**FINAL UPDATE:** I made an extension for Mercurial called
[hg-prompt](http://stevelosh.com/projects/hg-prompt/) that does everything
much more elegantly. **Use that instead!**

Man's Search for Meaning
| Victor Frankl
This is an autobiographical account of Fankl's experience as a prisoner in Nazi concentration camps. It is a brief, powerful account of the unimaginable suffering of life in WWII concentration camps and what it revealed to the author about human nature. Frankl seeks to understand human experience through the lens of his concept of "Logotherapy," which is based on the premise that the ultimate motivation of any individual is to find a meaning in life. He asserts that life has meaning even in the most unimaginable states of suffering, and that man has the freedom to find it in his actions, life experiences, and his own dispositions, even when the state of the world is not within his control. This book caused me to reflect on writings of the Stoic tradition - particularly Epictetus (the Enchridion).
2018
Simply Wittgenstein
| James C. Klagge
This was a fantastic introduction to the famous 20th century philosopher. I became interested in Wittgenstein after spending some time reading about Logical Positivism in 2014. I'd since picked up a copy of this book, as well as the biographies "Wittgenstein" by A.C. Grayling and "Wittgenstein - The Duty of Genius" by Ray Monk. I continue to be intrigued by the picture theory of language as well as the concept of language-game (Sprachspiel), the rule-following paradox, and private language arguments. The philosophies of language and logic continue to be a source of great interest, and I am interested in how they contribute to problem-solving and reasoning about concepts natural language processing and artificial intelligence.
Soul of the White Ant
| Eugène N. Marais
I heard about this book in late 2016 while watching a YouTube video of Daniel Dennett talking about consciousness. I remembered the title while laying in bed one evening and found the book on Kindle. I purchased a copy and spent the next few hours reading it. The author and the text are wildly interesting. Marais was a South African who lived from 1871 to 1936, working as a lawyer, journalist, poet, naturalist, and newspaper owner. According to his Wikipedia biography, he became addicted to opiates while young, and his wife died as a result of giving birth to their only son. He also had to deal with the plagiarism of his work conducted for this book (by a Nobel Prize winner, no less!). Tragically, he took his own life in 1936. He is recognized as the first person to conduct scientific research of animal behavior in the wild. In this book, Marais examines the behavior of termites and the termite colony in detail. I was struck by the extent of his research. He describes at great length the structure and behavior of the colony - the roles of each type of termite, the sort of hierarchical class structure. Most notably, he may be the first to posit the idea that the termite colony behaves essentially as a complex organism itself - a sort of emergent phenomenon comprised of many smaller, less complex parts, none of which are likely to be aware of the whole. This was a fascinating book and worth picking up.
Make Your Own Neural Network
| Tariq Rashid
This is a great practical introduction to neural nets. Rashid offers a concise explanation of how they are constructed, and summarizes key points at the end of each section. The second half of the book focuses on implementing the techniques described in the first half for building a neural network from scratch in Python, making use of numpy. I read this through twice, and returned to sections on back propagation several more times. For readers who might be turned off by a lot of math, this seems like a good introduction to the topic. For those who need a quick refresher, the author provides an appendix section dedicated to a few basic concepts from Calculus.
My Antonia
| Willa Cather
I decided to pick this up while thinking about works of literature about the prairie and life in the American midwest during the late 19th century. Willa Cather's descriptions of the landscape - in all its vastness, mystery, and raw beauty - and its profound affect on Jim, an orphan from Virginia, and Antonia, a Bohemian immigrant, are immersive and captivating. The real strength of this novel lies in its subtle portrayal of meaningful human relationships. We witness, from Jim's perspective, the formation of a deep bond with his childhood friend Antonia, and its lasting effect on the memory of both of the characters. Early parts of the book (and in particular, the unforgettable scene recounting the deadly sleigh ride retold by the Russian immigrant Pavel on his deathbead, wherein he and Peter throw a newlywed couple off of the sleigh he is driving to a pack of wolves stalking the party in order to save themselves) have a fairy-tale like style of prose. The last third of the novel has left a strong impression on me; I would recommend this novel. Though there is no way to convey the emotional power of language without greater context, Here are a few excerpts that stuck with me:
This was the road over which Antonia and I came on that night when we got off the train at Black Hawk and were bedded down in the straw, wondering children, being taken we knew not whither. I had only to close my eyes to hear the rumbling of the wagons in the dark, and to be again overcome by that obliterating strangeness. The feelings of that night were so near that I could reach out and touch them with my hand.  For Antonia and for me, this had been the road of Destiny; had taken us to those early accidents of fortune which predetermined for us all that we can ever be. Now I understood that the same road was to bring us together again. Whatever we had missed, we possessed together the precious, the incommunicable past.
In the course of twenty crowded years one parts with many illusions. I did not wish to lose the early ones. Some memories are realities, and are better than anything that can ever happen to one again.
She asked me whether I had learned to like big cities. 'I'd always be miserable in a city. I'd die of lonesomeness. I like to be where I know every stack and tree, and where all the ground is friendly.  Father Kelly says everybody's put into this world for something, and I know what I've got to do. I'm going to see that my little girl has a better chance than ever I had. I'm going to take care of that girl, Jim.' I told her I knew she would. 'Do you know, Antonia, since I've been away, I think of you more often than of anyone else in this part of the world. I'd have liked to have you for a sweetheart, or a wife, or my mother or my sister—anything that a woman can be to a man. The idea of you is a part of my mind; you influence my likes and dislikes, all my tastes, hundreds of times when I don't realize it.  She turned her bright, believing eyes to me, and the tears came up in them slowly, 'How can it be like that, when you know so many people, and when I've disappointed you so? Ain't it wonderful, Jim, how much people can mean to each other? I'm so glad we had each other when we were little. I can't wait till my little girl's old enough to tell her about all the things we used to do. You'll always remember me when you think about old times, won't you? And I guess everybody thinks about old times, even the happiest people.' As we walked homeward across the fields, the sun dropped and lay like a great golden globe in the low west. While it hung there, the moon rose in the east, as big as a cart-wheel, pale silver and streaked with rose colour, thin as a bubble or a ghost-moon. For five, perhaps ten minutes, the two luminaries confronted each other across the level land, resting on opposite edges of the world. In that singular light every little tree and shock of wheat, every sunflower stalk and clump of snow-on-the-mountain, drew itself up high and pointed; the very clods and furrows in the fields seemed to stand up sharply. I felt the old pull of the earth, the solemn magic that comes out of those fields at nightfall. I wished I could be a little boy again, and that my way could end there. We reached the edge of the field, where our ways parted. I took her hands and held them against my breast, feeling once more how strong and warm and good they were, those brown hands, and remembering how many kind things they had done for me. I held them now a long while, over my heart. About us it was growing darker and darker, and I had to look hard to see her face, which I meant always to carry with me; the closest, realest face, under all the shadows of women's faces, at the very bottom of my memory. 'I'll come back,' I said earnestly, through the soft, intrusive darkness. 'Perhaps you will'—I felt rather than saw her smile. 'But even if you don't, you're here, like my father. So I won't be lonesome.' As I went back alone over that familiar road, I could almost believe that a boy and girl ran along beside me, as our shadows used to do, laughing and whispering to each other in the grass. div>

Aliens
Starring Sigourney Weaver, Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton, Paul Reiser Written, Produced and Directed by James Cameron.
Aliens represents a true rarity among movies, a sequel that not only equals or even surpasses the original, but also one that stands alone as work unto itself. You could see this movie without knowing the first ever existed. Knowing the original allows you to enjoy the sequel on other layers of course.
Weaver plays Ripley, the sole survivor of a mining ship whose crew was wiped out by a previous unknown creature. After killing the creature, she climbed into a lifeboat and put herself into suspended animation. She stayed that way, drifting through space, for 57 years until she was found. Her story is discredited, however, and she is forced into menial jobs. However, a colony has been established on the planet where Ripley's ship found the original alien and now contact has been lost with that colony. Ripley is invited to accompany a platoon of Marines to the planet to investigate. At first, Ripley resists, but the need to purge herself of the nightmares that have been plaguing her sleep impels her to confront her fears.
The gung-ho Marines arrive to find the colony deserted, with signs of desperate fighting all around. They also find carcasses of alien "face-huggers," which plant the seed of the adult alien into human hosts, and one lone survivor, a little girl named Newt. An attempt to locate and rescue the other colonists, however, leads most of the Marines into an alien ambush and most of the platoon is wiped out.
Aliens is less of horror story, like the original, than a straight-forward action story, and on that level it succeeds as well, if not better than Alien did as a horror movie. It represents the peak of James Cameron's career so far, creatively speaking. Those who only know Cameron through Titanic might be surprised to note that yes, he really can write, and he can also bring in a film for only $17 million, on time and under budget.
For a film released in 1986, it was certainly not the norm to have a female lead anchoring a science-fiction action film. It's not even common enough today. That's what makes Sigourney Weaver's performance so striking. She can bring off a female action role without ever calling undo attention to the fact that she is a woman. Lesser filmmakers would have felt it necessary to pepper the film with self-conscious feminist rhetoric and lesser actress might have played it self-consciously butch.
That wouldn't have worked in this film. Aliens is, among all the macho posturing of the marines, the high-tech weapons and furious gunplay, ultimately a film about motherhood. For those of you who have only seen the theatrical release, I point you to the Special Edition, now available on VHS and DVD. It contains several scenes deleted from the original release to shorten the running time. The most critical of these is early in the film, before the inquest, when Ripley finds out that her daughter died of old age two years earlier. This loss and sense of failure drives the maternal interest that Ripley takes in the newly orphaned Newt, and this sense of responsibility leads, I think, to Ripley going from a shell-shocked basket-case at the beginning of the film to the rock on which all the other characters wind up leaning.
The motherhood arc extends to the aliens too, when Ripley winds up face to face with the alien queen, another mother who is now super-pissed at Ripley for torching her nest. This film reminds us that, although women might be referred to as "the weaker sex," in much of nature, the female is the more dangerous and ferocious gender because she is charged with the protection of the young.
If you've never watched any of the Alien films, I recommend this one. It's far less gory than the first and far superior to the third and fourth.

For the fig swirl: Melt butter pver medium heat in saucepan. Add brown sugar and stir to dissolve. Halve all of the figs and toss in the saucepan with water and lemon juice. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until you have a chunky-jammy mixture. Add salt with one or two stirs, set aside and let cool completely.
Ice cream: In a small pot over medium heat, combine milk, and granulated sugar until sugar is completely dissolved and the milk is just barely lukewarm. Whisk in the egg yolks. Set mixture in the fridge and wait until the fig mixture is cooled.
Using an ice cream machine, pour liquids into the frozen basin and process according to manufacturer instructions, i.e., let spin and thicken for 20 minutes before adding marscarpone, fig jam mixture, and the nuts. Continue to process for +/- 10 minutes. Pour semi-frozen mixture into a pyrex dish or glass tupperware. Freeze for at least two hours before serving.

On 6 October 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) was informed of the first confirmed autochthonous case of Ebola virus disease (EVD) in Spain. This case represents the first human-to-human transmission of EVD outside Africa.
The case is a female healthcare worker with no travel history to West Africa but who participated in the medical care of an EVD case in a Spanish citizen, who had been infected in Sierra Leone and evacuated to Madrid, Spain on 22 September 2014 and who died on 25 September 2014. She was in contact with the repatriated EVD case twice; on 24 and 25 September 2014. On both occasions she is reported to have worn appropriate personal protection equipment (PPE).
Following the Spanish national protocol for EVD cases, the healthcare worker was considered a low risk contact and monitored accordingly. The female case developed a fever on 29 September 2014 and was admitted into isolation on 6 October 2014 at Alcorcon Hospital in Madrid. The case was then transferred to La Paz-Carlos III Hospital in Madrid and is being treated under isolation.
Samples were collected and sent for testing to the National Reference Laboratory on 6 October 2014. Results were positive for Ebola virus on the same day.
The Spanish public health authorities are conducting an investigation to elucidate the mode of transmission. Identification of close contacts for daily monitoring for 21 days after exposure is underway for the recent case and is continuing for contacts of the Spanish citizen who was treated in Spain.
As for all countries reporting EVD cases, future WHO updates on EVD in Spain will not be posted on the Disease Outbreak News. Further information will be available in WHO’s Ebola situation reports which provide regular updates on the WHO response:
WHO does not recommend any travel or trade restrictions to be applied by countries except in cases where individuals have been confirmed or are suspected of being infected with EVD or where individuals have had contact with cases of EVD. Contacts do not include properly-protected health-care workers and laboratory staff.
Temporary recommendations from the Emergency Committee with regard to actions to be taken by countries can be found at:

Reps Order FG To Stop Acceptance Fees In Tertiary Institutions
by Enioluwa AdeniyiThe Federal Ministry of Education and the National Universities Commission has been directed by the House of Representatives to stop undergraduate admission fees charged by Universities.
The lower chamber ordered its Committee on Tertiary Education and Services to investigate the admission policies and practices, noting that admission seekers go through a tough time while seeking admissions in universities.
The motion was sponsored by the lawmaker representing Ahiazu/Ezinihitte Federal Constituency of Imo State, Hon. Chinedu Emeka Martins.
Hon. Martins stated that the acceptance fees being charge by universities put a financial burden on the prospective students and should be stopped.
“Having passed through the rigours of Joint Admission and Matriculation Board (JAMB), Senior School Certificate Examination (SSCE), and the Unified Tertiary Matriculation Examination (UTME), it was inappropriate to charge admission acceptance fees.”
“Even the federally operated Universities charges admission fees highly.”
“University of Ibadan – N35,000, University of Lagos – N20,000, Ahmadu Bello University – N30,000, Imo State University – N70,000 and Lagos State University – N20,000.”
The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon. Femi Gbajabiamila, who spoke after house members supported the motion, insisted that the Committee should turn in their investigative report in four weeks.

- Lambdas are a nice way to avoid defining unnecessary separate functions. Convert the following let- or where-bindings to lambdas:
map f xs where f x = x * 2 + 3
map (\ x -> x * 2 + 3) xs
let f x y = read x + y in foldr f 1 xs
foldr (\ x y -> read x + y) 1 xs
- Sections are just syntactic sugar for lambda operations. I.e.
(+2)
is equivalent to\x -> x + 2
. What would the following sections 'desugar' to? What would be their types?(4+)

THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE A film review by Regis M. Donovan Copyright 1997 Regis M. Donovan
Director: John Frankenheimer Producer: George Axelrod Exec Producer: Howard W. Koch
We are introduced to the members of a Korean War US Army unit, including the remarkably unpopular Sgt. Raymond Shaw (Laurence Harvey). Then, Shaw's patrol is ambushed in Korean territory, loaded onto what appear to be Soviet helicopters, and flown off into the darkness. Coming back after 3 days missing in action, Shaw is hailed as a hero for saving his patrol; he receives the Medal of Honor. When he returns to the US, he is met by a celebration organized by his manipulative machavellian mother as a publicity stunt for her husband, the buffoon-like McCarthy-caricature Senator John Iselin.
This is the beginning of "The Manchurian Candidate", a political thriller that doubles, in places, as a political satire. Directed by John Frankenheimer and starring Harvey, Frank Sinatra, Angela Lansbury, and James Gregory.
After they return to the US, members of the patrol, including the commander, Ben Marco (Sinatra), begin to have similar dreams: the entire unit sits in what shifts between a women's horticulture lesson to uniformed Soviet and Chinese officers and civilians discussing brainwashing. Marco eventually begins to suspect that these are repressed memories, not dreams.
Marco -- when not falling in love, marrying, or having bizarre conversations with Janet Leigh -- gradually remembers more of the brainwashing as he investigates the mystery and discovers that Shaw has been trained as a killer: triggered by his operators, never remembering what he has done, unable to stop himself from carrying out the orders he's been given.
The film wallows in paranoia, with Shaw being manipulated from all sides, Iselin Red-baiting with drunken bombastic McCarthy-style rants at his wife's instruction while she schemes, Shaw working to unravel the mystery... all while the plot builds to a crescendo of intrigue.
Harvey gives an admirable performance as Shaw, manipulated from all sides; Sinatra is good as Marco. And Angela Lansbury is outstanding as the smothering, scheming puppet-master mother, pulling strings in everyone around her -- a role that garnered her a Best Supporting Actress nomination.
Released during the heyday of the Cold War (the same year as the Cuban Missile Crisis, in fact) and unavailable for the next 25 years, the film is a bit dated; in spite of this, the film is still a solid, entertaining experience.
