You are here
Walking into the Superhero Soiree, one couldn't help wondering if a little slice of Comic-Con had landed in Charleston. The colorfully lit Hibernian Hall was filled with a melee of strange and exotic characters, ranging from Batman and She-Ra to Lara Croft, a pair of bumble bees, and a red M&M. When questioned about his candy-coated character, attendee Chris Fisher shrugged and explained, "Everyone loves chocolate!"
Superheroes sustained their strength by nibbling on bites from Barsa, Fuel, Carolina's, and Cypress, and they also sipped a variety of beverages from Republic Reign, La Bubbly, Catshead Vodka, and Virgil Kaine. DJ United kept the hits coming as caped crusaders mingled and checked out each other costumes, or hit the photo booth. Spartan practiced his moves while Wonder Woman, Superman, and Captain Planet mugged for the camera, and then everyone began to gravitate toward the dance floor.
The first beats of "Sexy and I Know It" sounded through the hall, and Scooby Doo hit the dance floor with some hilarious moves. At one point, DJ United paused the song and took the mic, "Scooby Doo is killin' it right now!"
The "Cupid Shuffle" quickly followed, and masked villans and defenders of the peace set aside their differences to bust a move. It was an interesting crowd, and as the night went on, Cheetara, Captain Planet, and Xena Warrior Princess boogied next to a Mario Brother, the Riddler, the Tooth Fairy, and what one can only guess was the Hamburgler.
As Batman and Catwoman began to get down in a superhero dance-off of sorts, DJ United again took the mic with a laugh, "Ya'll, that is the most gangster Batman I have ever seen!" Finally the evening drew to a close, and all the colorful characters reluctantly made their way off the dance floor and out into the crisp fall evening.
The Superhero Soiree was a fundraiser for the Sustainability Institute, which was founded in 1999. The local award-winning nonprofit organization strives to empower South Carolinians to conserve energy and reduce our environmental impact where we live and work.

Binghamton University to offer new doctoral program in nursing
BINGHAMTON, NY -- Binghamton University's Decker School of Nursing will introduce a doctor of nursing practice (DNP) program in the fall semester of 2010, offering advanced practice nurses the opportunity to gain clinical and leadership expertise beyond the master's-degree level.
"In today's complex health care environment, nurses serving in specialty positions need to have the highest level of clinical, leadership and practice expertise," said Joyce Ferrario, dean of the Decker School of Nursing. "And Binghamton University is uniquely positioned to meet this demand. We already have excellent master's programs and outstanding faculty and by transitioning to a DNP, Binghamton will be able to draw from these strengths to provide the kind of high-level preparation that is required for nursing practice today."
The launch of the DNP at Binghamton University is particularly important in light of a recommendation by the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) to move the educational requirement for all advanced practice nurses from a master's degree to the doctoral level by 2015.
"Nurses prepared at the doctoral level will significantly impact health care outcomes," said Ferrario. "The blend of clinical, organizational, economic and leadership skills that the DNP offers will expand Binghamton University's contribution to the training of nursing faculty at a time when we are facing a national and statewide shortage of nursing personnel. As one of only two DNP programs offered through SUNY, our goal is to produce nursing leaders who will be able to influence and address major health care issues and as a result, be able to facilitate better patient care, and improve patient outcomes in New York state."
Binghamton University's DNP program has been designed for nurses with master's or bachelor's degrees and offers two tracks — either nurse practitioner or clinical nurse specialist. Students holding a master's degree in nursing may apply for admission for fall 2010 and will need to complete 38 credits to graduate from the program.
Binghamton University to offer new doctoral program in nursing
Those holding a bachelor's degree in nursing may apply for admission for the fall 2011 and will be required to complete 77 credits. The Decker School expects to enroll about 25 full-time and 25 part-time students in the program. Plans are also underway to offer the program in a blended format with classroom and online courses, which would appeal to a national pool of applicants.
The curriculum, developed in accordance with the guidelines of the American Association of Colleges of Nursing's (AACN) Essentials of Doctoral Education for Advanced Nursing Practice, will include proficiencies in areas such as organizational and systems leadership for quality improvement, patient care technology for the improvement and transformation of health care, policies for advocacy in health care, clinical prevention, and advanced nursing practice.
"Over the years, requirements for the profession of nursing have evolved, which is consistent with healthcare needs," said Ferrario. "Nurses prepared with graduate degrees are important resources for health care. But as we look to the future, delivery and access to needed services will require even more of a focused approach to ensure that the number of nurses prepared at this level does not diminish. Our DNP graduates will be highly qualified and equipped with skills to embrace and solve many of the new health care challenges we will face in the future."

ROBOTC 3.5: Global Vs. Local Variables and the Debugger
This is the first in a series of posts that will explain the new functionality behind the latest ROBOTC update. Beginning with ROBOTC 3.5 with all of the new functionality towards becoming an ANSI-C compliant language has brought some changes that may confuse veteran ROBOTC users. This week we'll take a look at how global and local variables work in ROBOTC.
In previous ROBOTC releases, the compiler (the engine that converts your code from C-language to machine language) would treat all variables as "Global Variables" and would allocate (assign memory to) every variable when the program was compiled. This method caused issues because it would not allow the compiler to understand re-entrant functions (i.e. functions that could call themselves). This functionality was limiting because it prevent a key computer science concept called "Recursion" which is the ability to have a function call itself repeatedly (but not infinitely). Recursion is very useful when dealing with sorting data or calculating a series of data in different algorithms (one example: calculating a Factorial value – 5! = 5*4*3*2*1)
In ROBOTC 3.5, the compiler's functionality has been extended in order to support recursive functions by supporting the concept of "Call Stack" variables. The idea of the Call Stack is that ROBOTC will now store local variables and return addresses of functions onto a Call Stack – This unlocks the ability to have recursive functions and variables that are truly "local". With the Call Stack, ROBOTC is able to keep track of multiple calls of the same function and coordinate all of the variables so there's no accidental overwriting of data or multiple copies of the same variables to keep track of – Everything automatically done by the compiler when the program is run!
With the call stack, ROBOTC's firmware assigns the memory address of local variables when they're declared in the code (as opposed to compile time as before). Variables are allocated and discarded on the stack as needed – users do not need to modify their code to take advantage of this functionality. Programs do still need to specify a variable's type and size ahead of time however. (i.e. no dynamically sized arrays)
There is one big difference when it comes to debugging – users will see the old "Variables" display is now split between "Global" and "Local" variables in the ROBOTC Debugger. Because the ROBOTC IDE doesn't know where the variable will be stored in the "call stack", there's no way to accurately know where the local variables are on the stack at any one time. What this means is that you will not be able to view your local variables during run-time like in previous versions of ROBOTC. This is a limitation of professional IDEs (Visual Studio, Eclipse, AVR Studio) that also support recursion and variable stacks. The new extended ANSI-C functionality brings ROBOTC close to the same level as those development environments including the same limitations when debugging.
The good news is that users have two options for debugging their program's variables:
- Suspend your program by using the "Step" button– When the program execution is suspended, the IDE is able to display all of the current local variables for the current function/task selected. This will not display every local variable in your program, but only the currently executing function/task.
- Use Global Variables– Because Global Variables are allocated at compile time, the ROBOTC IDE knows the memory location of every Global Variable and can keep track of these variables in the "Global Variables" debugger window. All Global Variables will be continuously updated as the program is executed.
We understand some of the frustration that ROBOTC users are experience with the new ROBOTC 3.5 update with all of the new functionality, and we apologize for any issues. Our overall objective is to make ROBOTC as close to a true ANSI-C programming environment to make sure students and users are learning proper coding techniques.
As we continue to refine our implementation with the latest version of ROBOTC, we still are committed to addressing any reported issues and would love to hear from you if you are having any problems – Please send us a note using our Ticketing system at http://www.robotc.net/support/ or directly at email@example.com.
ROBOTC 3.50 Now Available!
The ROBOTC Development team is proud to announce that ROBOTC 3.50 for the LEGO Mindstorms, VEX Cortex and PIC, Arduino, and Robot Virtual World platforms is now available! The new ROBOTC 3.50 update is free-of-charge for ALL existing ROBOTC 3.0 license holders. Download today and try out all of the new features and enhancements available in ROBOTC 3.50!
Change log for ROBOTC 3.50 (since version 3.08):
- Full ANSI-C support to support pointers, recursion, and stacks with an updated compiler and updated robot firmware.
- New and Updated Debugger Windows:
- "Local Variables" to monitor variables in the current task or function.
- (Note: Local variables are only available when your program is suspended)
- "Global Variables" to monitor variables available to your entire program.
- "Call Stacks" to monitor function calls in the currently selected task.
- Updated Documentation and Wiki (www.robotc.net/wiki) – Constantly Updating!
- Support for Standard C commands – sprintf(), sscanf(), support for character arrays, unsigned variables, etc.
- Support for the Arduino family of controllers (Uno, Mega, Mega 2560) with future support and expanded functionality for the Arduino Leonardo and Due controllers.
- Updated Robot Virtual Worlds support to include additional sensors and motors.
- Improved Robot Virtual Worlds performance to simulate more realistic physics and robot behaviors.
- Support for the new MATRIX building system with the NXT.
Robot Specific Fixes:
- NXT I2C sensors were incorrectly initializing clock and data lines as outputs when first configuration. They were correctly left as inputs after first message was sent. Change was to initialize as inputs. Before change, the first I2C message on an empty port will incorrectly appear to succeed.
- Ignore HiTechnic Textrix Motor Controller spurious encoder counts. I.E. if encoder value read is hex 'FF80xxxx' then force a reread. Always accept the re-read value.
- Eliminate Z-Axis from VEX joystick window as is unused.
- Arduino boards now support controlling LEDs from PWM pins.
- Arduino boards now will read zero when connecting analog to ground.
Interface Updates/Fixes:
- Add "Show Current Program Counter" button to Debugger.
- Add new template for "New File". All new programs will start with a task main structure. This template can be modified by the user (it lives in /Sample Programs/Platform/Templates)
- Always force "Save As" for all template files. Before the files were being saved in a default directory.
- Allow any serial port to be used with VEX PIC systems.
- Allow user entered blank (empty) lines before first "#pragma config(" lines. Currently generates a compiler error.
- Improve placement of related compiler generated errors to appropriate line numbers.
- Fix bug where "Motors and Sensors Setup" did not work on empty files.
- Properly restore floating "Debugger Panes" when Debugger is invoked.
- Changed Checkmarks to Radio Icons for many menu items. This shows a "dot" instead of a "check mark" in the menu icon field.
- Created tooltip strings in resource file for all missing commands.
- Prepare to add two new Debugger panes to display "Breakpoints" and "Bookmarks". Based on the existing "Compiler Errors" pane architecture. The new panes are displayed but the content is still empty.
- Better synchronization of breakpoints between "Source File" and "Disassembly Listing". Previously when breakpoint was added/removed in one window the corresponding change was not properly made in the other window. Now the breakpoint ICONs are always refreshed whenever a window is "Activated" (i.e. made topmost).
- Add two new menu commands for "increase indent" and "decrease indent".
- Tweak "auto close breakpoint hit" message box implementation. Add a check mark to the dialog.
- Add new "Compile OR Compile+Download" toolbar.
- Debug "Task Status" window — minor enhancements.
- FONT name was not being updated in Preferences "Font" tab correctly. Fixed.
Compiler and Command Updates/Fixes:
- Pointer support. New functions positioning for improvements in the dereference ("*") and address of ("&") unary operators.
- New "#pragma debugWindows(…)" to specify a list of Debugger Windows that should be opened.
- Add new intrinsic function "DebugStreamClear" to allow programs on robot to clear the debug stream.
- Support for "Implied Pointers" in functions.
- Fixed compiler priority for binary and unary versions of '&', '*', '+' and '-' operators.
- Support for unsigned longs.
- Add new intrinsic function for "round".
- Added support for 'atan2′.
- Allow 'struct' pointers as valid function return types.
- Fix issue in 'struct' declaration causing a random memory overwrite in ROBOTC IDE.
- Support pointer variables for '++' and '–'.
- 'sizeof' operator now accepts argument types of 'char', 'short', 'long', 'float', …
- Fix bug in evaluating "complicated" / compound constant expressions in "#if".
- Add support for '%p' format code in 'sprintf'.
- Improve code generation for pointer references to 'struct'.
- Added doubly nested '->' operator.
- Fixed bug in unary '-' VM opcode.
- Improve code generation for structure element access.
- Fix implementation of structure element access code generation; i.e. the "." operator.
- Partially re-implement "sizeof" operator for proper calculation of 'pointer' and 'reference' variables.
- Add "drop down toolbar button" to "Compile and Download" toolbar to select "Download + Compile" or "Compile" only; vs two separate buttons.
- Add partial support for new download "write to RAM" message. Needed for new "local variables" window.
- Add support for new "trinary opcodes" (+, – and *) with 'long' operands. Previously trinary opcodes were for 'short' variables. Trinary opcodes are primarily used for efficient code generation for array and structure element access.
- Added definition for new "NoOp" command.

VEX/Arduino Bot Chases the Light
When someone thinks "robots', they generally think of cold, calculating, emotionless machines. This couldn't be further from the truth; all robots, from the complex humanoids to the basic welding arms seen in car plants, have complex and deep emotional personalities.
For instance, take a look at our new "Scaredybot". Built entirely from VEX parts, an Arduino, and the sweat of our intern Dan West (by the way, great work Dan!), the Scaredybot is so 'brave' that it cannot stand being in the dark; given the choice, it will either chase a light source for dear life or spin blindly in place (desperately seeking a respite from the darkness).
On the technical side, the Scaredybot uses two VEX Light Sensors to compare light values on the left and right side of the robot and turns the robot towards whichever side is higher. By constantly moving side by side using swing turns (much like a line-tracking robot), the Scaredybot is able to track the light source as long as its sensors are able to read the light values. When the Scaredybot loses its light source, it spins in place until a light source is found again, at which point it starts to track it again.
RC Car to Arduino Robot – First car converted!
The Arduino is one of the most diverse robotics platforms. It truly opens the world of modern electronics to the students by allowing them to interface with all sorts of relevant, modern technology. We have seen this unfold in our latest project with the Arduino, the RC car hacking project.
For this project, we decided a good candidate to start with would be the New Bright RC 'Interceptor', a larger scale car that fit a standard-sized Arduino (in this case, an UNO) and a breadboard with lots of room to spare. This surplus of space opens up tons of options for adding sensors in the future. Plus, by tapping into the car's standard battery we eliminated the need to add a second one. Since we needed to be able to control the RC car's DC motors with the Arduino, we decided to use the VEX Motor Controller 29 to convert the PWM signals into corresponding voltage levels. This solution was cheap, easy, and effective; a true engineering triple play.
Once the Arduino was implanted into the RC car, it was time to tell the newborn robot to do something. Of course, we did this using our favorite programming software, ROBOTC for Arduino (more on this later).
It is important to realize that while most robots have a tank style drive system, the RC cars have the same steering system as that found in real-sized cars (Ackermann Steering). This unfortunately eliminates the possibility of making point turns, but it does open the doors to other interesting opportunities such as parallel parking (we plan on showcasing this in a later update).
Besides being incredibly awesome, this project also helps to expand upon the superb flexibility of the Arduino and VEX systems; although not specifically designed for one another, they can easily be used together with little or no modification to either system.
We could never allow you, the reader, to miss out on the hacking. If you are interested in this or any of our other current projects, we encourage you to take a look at the tutorials on our wiki. At the moment they are works-in-progress, but we are well on the way of having step-by-step guides for hacking a variety of vehicles, with different scales and sizes, and different methods of operation. We ultimately want the tutorials to act as guides to hack any RC vehicle, even if we do not cover it specifically.
Keep an eye on this blog and our wiki for the latest updates. If you have any hacking stories, we'd love to hear about them on our forums. Good luck, and get hacking!
Basic Electronics and Arduino: A Winning Combination
Electronics is an integral part of innovation, yet many electronic classes across the United States are being closed because of NCLB(1) and ever-shrinking school budgets. However, more and more schools are instead opening robotics courses. With the Arduino platform we saw an opportunity for educators to integrate basic electronic principles into existing robotics courses using the VEX, LEGO, and BoE hardware. Fortunately, Arduinos are very inexpensive and can be used not only as a mobile robot controller, but to create lots of other "smart" stuff as well.
The Arduino exposes students to a basic microprocessor concepts, prototyping on a breadboard, and basic electronics concepts through many cool projects. The Arduino takes the processor 'out of the box' and gives students the opportunity to 'build from scratch' electronics systems. To augment these features, we've developed lessons around LEGO, VEX, and the BoE bot at our ROBOTC wiki and by the end of the summer we will have a set of plans that allow students to turn a RC car fully autonomous. We have a team of folks dedicated to creating a series of lessons that makes teaching electronics through robots fun and easy, all while using technology that is already in your classroom.
In this regard, we have a very broad range of projects in mind for ROBOTC for Arduino; everything from basic LED control to creating homebrew sensors is covered. The end-goal for this research and development project is to expose students to a broad range of basic electronic concepts from simple circuitry to digital input (on/off switches) to analog inputs (potentiometer) to PWM concepts. As we continue to develop our ROBOTC for Arduino support materials, we need your help. We are asking you, the ROBOTC community, to recommend projects that you are working on and are willing to share with educators and hobbyists. Please consider sharing your project ideas and we will be glad to post them on both our blog and wiki. As always, keep an eye on our forum, Facebook, and Twitter pages for the most up-to-date news. Thanks!
RC Car to Arduino Robot – Cars have arrived!

Guided Projects with ROBOTC for Arduino
The Arduino is a powerful and versatile piece of electronics hardware, that can be used for anything from taking sensor readings or making LEDs flash, all the way to making a robot that can be controlled from the internet. With such vast potential, getting started with the Arduino can be a little intimidating to some.
As such the ROBOTC Development Team is pleased to announce the development of a series of guided projects to introduce users to the Arduino. These projects will cover topics such as making a simple mobile robot, making your own sensors, communicating with VEX or NXT robots, and how to make and use advanced sensors. The projects will all lead up to a capstone project where you will be guided through the process of converting an RC car in to a Arduino controlled mobile robot.
If you're interested in helping out with the development of some of the lessons, feel free to contact us at arduino[at]robotc[dot]net – We'll be offering free licenses of ROBOTC for Arduino for anyone who contributes lessons around using the Arduino with ROBOTC.
We'll be posting all of the project materials on our ROBOTC.net Wiki – The outline for each project's development can be found on the ROBOTC wiki at http://www.robotc.net/wiki/Arduino_Projects.
ROBOTC for Arduino Public BETA Released!
Just in time for summer, the ROBOTC dev-team has released the first Public BETA of "ROBOTC for Arduino". The Arduino is a cool, low-cost embedded controller board that is great for learning the basics of robotics, electronics and creative engineering.
The new version of ROBOTC has support for all of the popular official Arduino boards – Diecimila, Duemilanove, Uno, MEGA 1280 and MEGA 2560.
All of the ROBOTC features you've come to know and love have been brought to the Arduino, including easy motor and sensor control, the powerful ROBOTC debugger, sample program library, and many other features.
ROBOTC for the Arduino will be free for use all summer long, so visit http://www.robotc.net/download/arduino/ and start using the Arduino with ROBOTC!

In the fields, one sees them, wide in grass or grazing peacefully. Large placid animals which one believes to know because they are livestock. Lions, gorillas, bear have all our attention, but did one ever really look at cows?
Filmmaker Emmanuel Gras will be in attendance for a Q and A following the screening. After the Q and A there is a reception in courtyard courtesy of Buffalo Trace Bourbon and Radeberger Pilsner
BACK TO LAND (Tijana Petrovic | USA | 4 min.)
A delicate documentary about the passing of a giant beauty
HISAB (Ezra Wube | Ethiopia | 8 min.)
An adorable animation about domestic animals taking to the streets of Ethiopia.
Bovines (Emmanuel Gras | France | 62 min.)
So as to not ruin the surprise of this film, and the journey from initial shock to realization to acceptance and wonder, it does best to give away as little as possible. Just to say, in this instance, the title truly does say it all.
What can be said is that this movie is it is absolutely beautiful, deftly crafted, highly original, and perhaps like no other movie experience. It is a meditative movie, full of long, slow, gorgeous shots. A close-up of rain falling on a puddle may sound pretentious, but if you let yourself be with this movie, you realize it beats any 3-D CGI in an aesthetics match-up, hands-down. And, once you get over the initial giggle of the premise, you find yourself sucked into another world, indeed, another state of consciousness. When human farmers do eventually enter the picture for a few moments, you see them as strange and menacing a creature as a cow would. You realize you have become cow.
That may not sound like a fun weekend blockbuster, but Bovines is in fact the perfect date movie. It's fun, gentle, loving. And one bit of instruction for you, the audience, which is not advised for any other movie: TALK. That's right, talk during the movie. In its silence and meditation, through its un-human interaction, this is a film that opens you up to new forms of communication and awareness. The power of the film is the way it raises so many questions about the lives of animals, and you'll just wanna talk. Or moo.
Oh, and one other tip: unless you wanna feel guilty, I'd have chicken and not the beef for dinner. Or, better yet, just some grass.

"If the munchkins did songs from foreign lands then they'd probably cover Mutual Benefit's 'Birdwatcher'. It might start out on the shores of a deserted Hawaiian isle but it soon mutates into something that would be best illustrated following the consumption of a balloon load of helium. For all its brilliant eclecticism though this is another indication that the Mutual Benefitters are gearing up for global domination (via Kansas, if Dorothy extends that empty invite)." -mp3hugger

After noting it has been awhile since I posted anything here, it seemed like I should make a few comments about things.
Things seem like they are going pretty well. I have been doing a bit of consulting on non-Linux things which have allowed me some freedom and I work for Wild Open Source now in a management capacity I guess you could say. I enjoy the people there since they are people I have seen somewhere before :).
Other things I have been doing is picking back up some minor bits of consulting work in the systems and software deployment areas. I used to do a fair bit of systems and software deployment at this little clothing company I worked at for awhile.
Other stuff is learning a bit about Apache, PHP, and other things which strike my fancy. I am no bigtime coder but I do like to learn how things work and how I can make things work differently.
I was very sorry to see Lokigames fade away; I was a very happy and challenged customer of theirs and I would like to thank them publicly for their Sid Meier stuff especially; but I also have spent many an enjoyable hour with SimCity and a few other titles.
I have not really played much with my IPAQ running familiar linux lately unfortunately. I noticed that the handhelds.org crew released a new version which I should definitely try. My IPAQ works so well now as a mp3 player with an IBM 1g microdrive in it, its kind of a shame to reflash things. I also have been using dillo on it and playing a bit with the ion window manager both on the ipaq and a desktop I have.
I don't know that I will become more timely posting here since I seem to not get to the site so often of late. I was very sorry to read of the troubles that hacker had with his relocation. I never had that level of destruction but once in the military all my stuff ended up going to the wrong military base. Nothing to compare with his story about the destruction of stuff.

This game should have been Bama vs Florida as they were the two best teams. Florida would have gotten up for this game.

Wow what an incredible Irish defense, Manti te'o ffinally made a tackle, in the end zone
7 of the Top 10 Teams could beat Notre Dame, and now they act surprised to see this kind of start.
Brian Kelly said before the game that the "Important Two Minutes" at the beginning and end of the halves would make the difference in the game. If ND doesn't get it in gear, Bama's second string will be in for the second "Important Two Minutes"!!!

Loyola alumni lead on 2013 list of Southern California Super Lawyers
Once again, Loyola alumni score top marks in the 2013 Southern California Super Lawyers list. For the second year in a row Loyola eclipses the "Top 100" list with 22 alums, more than any other school. But the distinction doesn't stop there, Loyola also ranks number one in the "Top 50 Women" category with 13 alumnae recognized. LLS was the only school in the double digits on this list. Furthermore, the Law School claims five alums in the Orange County Top 50 and two in the coveted Top 10 list.
The selection process is intensive; at most only five percent of the lawyers in the state are included in the annual Super Lawyers list. Once nominated by a peer or the research department, each candidate is evaluated by 12 indicators of peer recognition and professional achievement. The criteria includes pro bono and community service as a lawyer, experience, special certifications, verdicts and settlements, scholarly lectures and writings, honors, awards and transactions to name a few. These categories are weighted differently, but all count toward the final score. Next, the candidates with the highest point total in each practice area rate a list of attorneys in their own area on a scale of one to ten. Firm size is then taken into consideration to level the playing field. For instance, large firm lawyers only compete with other large firm lawyers. The attorneys with the highest score from each category are selected for the final list*.
Loyola congratulates our alumni for their continued efforts to serve the community and gain such a positive rapport among their peers. We applaud your success and leadership in the legal industry and commend you for setting the bar so high and being recognized through this prestigious, well-deserved honor.
*More information on the selection process can be found on the Super Lawyers website.

Can we make it five days in a row?
The S&P 500 has dropped 0.3% to 1,692.45, while the Dow Jones Industrials have fallen 0.2% to 15,302.52, and appear headed for a fifth day of losses.
All eyes appear to be on Congress, as the the government appears headed for a showdown over the budget and the debt ceiling. Jefferies' Ward McCarthy says that the "drop-dead date" may be less than one month away:
Based on our current cash balance projections and our estimate of the remaining "extraordinary measures", we expect that Treasury will run out cash by October 23rd. It's possible that they may be able to squeeze in a cash management bill to fund a Social Security benefits payment that day, but if they do, then Treasury will not weeks, depending on the strength or weakness of Treasury cash flows. However, it is not likely to change too much.
There was nothing in this morning's durable-goods report to snap stocks out of today's malaise–they rose just 0.1%, although that was enough to beat economist forecasts for no increase. Miller Tabak's Andrew Wilkinson explains why the numbers didn't excite investors:
The headline reading rose by 0.1% boosted by a gain of 0.7% for the heavyweight transport sector. Machinery and the all other category advanced by 0.9% while fabricated metals saw increased orders of 0.3%. Primary metals and electrical orders fell by 0.5% while computer and electronic order books slumped by 3.4%. The report argues in favor of the FOMC's recent decision to await further data points that might indicate sustainability of demand. While the report was not weak overall, it does not point to acceleration of activity at this stage.
Maybe a market that's down just a bit should be considered good news.
Stryker (SYK) has dropped 1.9% to $69.52 after it said it would purchase Mako Surgical (MAKO) for $30 a share.
J.C. Penney (JCP) has dropped 8.8% to $10.52, its lowest price in 12 years, continuing its recent selloff.
JPMorgan Chase (JPM) has gained 1.5% to $51.05 on reports that it's trying to reach a $3 billion settlement with the government.
Baxter International (BAX) has dropped 4.8% to $67.83, as JPMorgan initiated coverage with a Neutral.

How low can you go? – The low-carb debate
In our June 2013 issue, Diabetes Voice presented the first diabetes debate focused on the validity of low carbohydrate nutrition for type 1 diabetes. We asked two certified diabetes educators to present their side – YES or NO – on whether or not a nutritional regimen based on low carbohydrate intake provides safe and more effective glycaemic control for healthy type 1 diabetes management?
We received the following response directed to Carolyn Robertson, who represented opposition to very low carbohydrate intake for the debate:

Visual Arts
Studio Arts
The studio arts are an integral part of the Waldorf curriculum throughout the grades, introducing every child to his or her own creative capacity while nurturing a profound sense of aesthetic awareness and physical aptitude in drawing, painting, and sculpture.
Drawing is a fundamental human endeavor that supports fine motor skill development, cognitive function, emotional wholeness and creative innovation. It has served as a means of communication for thousands of years and continues to be a highly prized skill in both the cultural and economic spheres. In a Waldorf school, drawing is woven into the very fabric of the lessons as children work to craft their own illustrated lesson books rather than rely on printed text books. Through a constant interaction with drawing, children gain an innate awareness of form, line, space, and scale that grows ever more subtle as they advance through the grades. Form drawing, a regular period of artistic study that challenges students to recreate patterns and geometric constructions from sources as varied as illuminated manuscripts and Islamic tile, supports this development in the elementary school. In the Middle School years, perspective and charcoal drawing are both introduced, setting the stage for a host of drawing explorations in both wet and dry media in the High School.
In the earliest years' children are brought into an awareness of color through wet-on-wet watercolor painting which allows colors to gracefully interact under the brush. The emotional and optical nature of different colors comes alive for the young children, as does the understanding that when certain colors combine, other colors arise. Throughout the grades and middle school the painting lessons continue, supporting the rich stories and biographies of the thematic main lessons. Every child in these years produces a portfolio of works that serves as a vibrant review of the years' themes; it is a collection that can be displayed and shared for years to come.
Once in High School, the students turn their attention to the long history of artistic expression over the centuries, studying masterpieces from many cultures and reproducing works as a means of understanding both the techniques as well as intent of these master artists. Each child at the Santa Fe Waldorf School gradually develops his or her own skills, interests, and expressions through painting; all the while nurturing a strength of will and intention.
One of the fundamental qualities of sculpture is that it allows an individual to bring his or her own perception of form into the world. For a young child, the tactile reward of pressing, pulling, and pinching a form cannot be overstated, and the Waldorf curriculum encourages this exploration of the material world by first introducing children to sculpting with wonderfully maleable bits of colored beeswax. These first sculpted forms are very simple and usually relate to the animals and environments featured in the classroom stories. Eventually, the use of beeswax gives way to explorations of form using clay, Papier Mâché and wood. In the middle and upper grades, more complex investigations of form and locomotion take place, with projects such as the construction of a wooden marionette in Middle School spanning many months. These sculptural projects inspire a spirit of respect for the earth's materials which guides the student's aesthetic decisions.
Practical Arts
A Waldorf education recognizes that confidence is born of experience and understanding. In today's world of mass production it is easy to lose sight of how the objects in our lives are fashioned. Subsequently, we grow disconnected from the objects we use. To counteract this, and to empower tomorrow's generation to confront any challenge, the Santa Fe Waldorf School includes a variety of handwork courses, including fiber arts (knitting, sewing, dying, and weaving), farming and woodworking/furniture making.
At the High School level, students are also introduced to blacksmithing/casting, small engine repair, basic building construction techniques and bookbinding. This focus on practical crafts not only allows students to develop a deeper appreciation of their world, it also supports the development of fine motor skills, patience, and self-esteem.

Another vote for otos. They clean glass very well, and if you provide supplemental food and acclimate slowly when you bring them home, they will be fine. I have six, only lost one. They do need a school.
That said, they are reputed to be tricky. But that doesn't mean they won't work.Beth
1 - 55 gallon planted community
3 - 10 to 20 gallon planted betta tanks
My advice: slow down, think, and be willing to learn. Then you'll be fine, no matter what.
Whatever I end up with be be acclimated via the drip acclimation (thank you AC)
That being said, my options are otos, whiptail catfish (pleco), or rubber lipped (even though he gets a bit larger than I would like), any other recommendations?
Two more to add... anyone have either of these? How are they? And what is a typical $$ on them
Gold Nugget
L340 - can't find much info, but looks like they prefer meat diet and wouldn't eat any algae (unless anyone has had different results)
Down here in Missouri-a gold nugget pleco runs about 50-70bucks.
really cool looking fish, but not ready to spend that much for one fish. (especially since it was at petco)
the rubberlip should be fine in a 55-it gets 7inches? and that'll work in your set up.
With all due respect to Miz (and I do respect you based on many other posts I have participated in with you) I just don't agree. DGs are very easy to sex as it sounds like you know. Also there are a fair number of algae eaters that can and will make a reasonable dent on your algae.
Now, that said yes even with female DGs you will likely have issues later on. They won't be as bad as with males but particularly during courtship it is normal for the females to pick one that is the least worthy breeder and terrorize her relentlessly. If you want a community of gourami I would try a different species like for instance thick lipped gourami. I have a community of 4 (1m/3f) and they all get along very well after the first week of working out the pecking order. When they spawn they even all spawn together. It's a party.
As for the algae eater, we have a green phantom plec (L200 hi-fin) in our 55g and he took the wall from so covered you couldn't see through it to almost completely clean in a single night. Now he does end up fairly large, but not monster big. Also with them you have to remember they have a huge bioload so I have traded clean walls for substrate covered in pleco poo and as a result am vaciuming more often by far than I ever cleaned the glass. But I like him which is the main point so he is worth it.
If plecs aren't your cop-o-tea I have also found Garra to be particularly effective at algae removal. We have a panda Garra and he not only stays small but is also much more active than most plecs and gets along well with our loaches as they are closely related. We love him.
There are also many snails you could try tho they aren't usually as effective at cleaning a large space as plecs or garra. Merited are attractive and only eat algae so they do not become pests. Japanese trapdoors are my personal favorite but thy gt pretty big and are very slow even for a snail. They also spend long periods dormant.
Anyway there are plenty of options. You just have to consider the trade offs and that the entire point is to appreciate them as an animal not just a tank cleaner. But it sounds like you are already doing a good job of that so you are doing the right thing.

Disagree away-its a discussion on this topic! I'm open to it and you are respectful about it-so not a worry.
I do agree that the sexing wouldn't be an issue if/when you had the appropriate fish.
I was more commenting on the lines of that its tough to tell one sex from the other when they are juvenile fish. And that it can will be an issue if end up with the wrong sexes on these fish. That is what I was going for. I'm all for people who want to breed/calm aggression w/ male/female ratios-it just is a gamble on certain fish and you can find out the hard way if you are wrong.
I sadly forgot about snails
they tend to do a good job with cleaning stuff up too.
but I would like to reiterate that point you made: appreciate the fish because you enjoy it, don't get it to do a "job" (that is the target of all my posts :) )
Btw as I'm sure you all figured that word up there was supposed to be "nerites" not "merited"... Stupid auto correct."A grain of sand is all I ever wanted to be. Lay me down and let the water wash over me, wash over me." -Mickey Newbury

I like the panda garra, looks awesome, only concern would be similar to the hillstream loach, does the garra need a fast curent? I have two filters that move the water well as well as a bubble wall for more air...
Would it be better to have a m/f ratio of 1:1 for the dg? I don't plan to breed. Just like the females too lol
And im glad we are able to have a peaceful debate without ppl getting all upset. I am liking some of the ideas so far. I love pleco type fish, but hate the bio load. Love the hillstream and really like the garra from some quick research I did
My vote's for a school of Otos! I love these little guys and they're diligent workers. They eat algae all day and night - they love the stuff. They also eat it anywhere - glass, wood, plants (leaves/stems), substrate - doesn't matter, they'll eat it.
Not only that, but they're extremely peaceful and pretty damn cute.
I have 4 in my 10gal. Had 5, but 1 died after a day (was sick with ick). These 4 have done extremely well. Alone, they'll be pretty elusive, but adding 3-4 more will make them much more comfortable and confident.
As for plecos... there are some species that will eat a good amount of algae, like Bristlenose, and many others that won't. A lot of people think that all plecos will eat algae, so they'll be disappointed that when they purchase them, they won't touch the stuff. That's an example supportive of andreahp's argument about not buying a fish merely to eat algae (or solve a problem in the tank).Adventures in Aquaria - The KevinVA Story
When in doubt, ask yourself... W.W.L.S (What would Lee Say)?
Have a fish problem? Fill out and post this completed questionnaire in the General Aquarium Forum, when you start a new thread.
+1 Kevin makes a good point, the Otto's will eat the strains of algae the pleco's won't touch.Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.

Add Configuration Data to a Trial
In the Project Warehouse, the Trial section should include an upload section for Configuration Data files. These include DAQ and Control configuration files, metadata and model and input files used to perform this trial. For any experiment, trials can differ in ways such as different input records or predefined history files so the ability to associate this metadata under the Trial level is important. Right now, the only way to do this is through the Trial's Description tag, but there is no way to upload Configuration files. And it would be overkill to add Configuration Data to the Repetition because for all Repetitions under a Trial, the configuration does not change.

What is the best Oral Contraceptive for a Breastfeeding Mother?
Having planned pregnancy is indeed a good way to maintain the health of the family. Proper spacing of children is also considered. I gave birth 3 months ago to a healthy baby girl. I also have a son, 9 years of age. My husband and I decided to use Oral Contraceptive Pills as our method of contraception. I bought a pill with a formulation of Levonorgestrel + Estrogen. Not knowing what this drug was, I read the enclosed package leaflet and learned that the content of the pill is not safe for breastfeeding mothers. What Oral Contraceptive Pills are safe for me to use since I am a full-time breastfeeding mum? Thank you for reading my post!
5th February 2012 03:35 AM #2
I did not use any any hormonal birth control (pill, patch, injection, etc.) but instead, we used a form of natural family planning which has been proven to be just as effective as the pill, when done properly. This is not the rhythm method. It's a much more accurate method (as to be if it's as effective as the pill).
We used this method to avoid pregnancy for the first 7 years of our marriage (my husband didn't want children at that time) and then we reversed what we were doing to conceive the first month we tried.
The International Links page has a link to a Fertility Awareness and Natural Family Planning website.
I will ask Jane if she knows the answer to your specific question, but I have heard that breasfeeding mums are often prescribed a low dose contraceptive pill.

Minipill and breastfeeding
You are correct any combined contraceptive pill (that is one that contains progesterone and oestrogen) is not suitable for breastfeeding women. The contraceptive pill that is sometimes prescribed to breastfeeding women is called the Minipill. This is a progesterone only pill and needs to be taken every day.
The way is works is by thickening the mucous produced by the cervix preventing the sperm making their way up to fertilise the egg. If they happen to make their way to the egg - the progression of the fertilised egg is slowed so it is unlikely to survive. It may also stop ovulation in some women.
The effectiveness of the minipill is around 96% but if you are fully breastfeeding it is more than 99% effective. It is important that you take it within the same 3 hour window every day or it will not work. Some medications interfere with the minipill so you need to talk to your doctor. Any time you are unwell with vomiting or diarrhoea the minipill can be made ineffective.
Possible problems with the minipill include irregular menstrual periods or no periods at all, or some light bleeding between periods and ovarian cysts. If you do conceive on the mini pill there is a risk that it will be ectopic pregnancy. You may also notice a small weight gain, nausea, headaches and/or a loss of libido. A small amount of the progesterone does pass through the breast milk but is though not to cause any problems.

Good information Jane! Thank you so much for responding to this question.
5th February 2012 04:28 PM #5
Just wanted to chime in to say that the IUD is also highly effective and safe for breastfeeding moms. I know you asked about oral contraception, but wanted to give you some insight into another option if the minipill doesn't work out!
7th February 2012 12:53 PM #6
Whichever form of birth control you use, just be sure to do your research on the risks. There are risks associated with most forms of birth control.
The IUD has a risk of pelvic infection. I've known women who used it and had no problem with it, but it's always good to know possible risks whenever we take a medication, hormone or have a procedure done.

Thank you for the insights! I have done some research regarding Family Planning and ther are two methods: Natural and Artificial Family Planning.
When I had my first baby, I made use of the Natural method. A combination of the Calendar method and the Cervical Mucus Test. This was very helpful and it worked for me for 8 years! It is really important to understand the process carefully before applying it to prevent pregnancy.
Calendar Method is only applicable to women who have a regular monthly period. Otherwise, it is better for them to choose other methods. Am I correct?
On my second child, I wanted to make use of the Artificial method which includes making use of condoms and pills. I understood what Jane said about Progesterone-based pills. Thank you for the reply! Though there may be risks or side-effects, I will read more about the remedies that I can do.

Lactational Amenorrhoea Method
Don't forget you can also use what is know as the Lactational Amenorrhoea Method (LAM). LAM is natural family planning and is around 98% effective (which is equivalent to artificial means). There are some guidelines which are:
- The baby is fully breastfed on demand day and night from birth(no supplements of any kind)
- The baby is younger than six months
- The mother's periods have not returned
You can read more about LAM on the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action.

Thank you Jane!
Yes I have heard of this method, LAM. Unfortunately, it is no longer applicable for because I already had my period on the first month from my delivery. Though I knew a lot of women using this kind of method and most of them have positive feedbacks. But it is really important to take note of the guidelines to prevent pregnancy.

By Brad Locke/NEMS Daily Journal
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. – Mississippi State was slammed back to Earth on Wednesday night. Today, the Bulldogs try to pick themselves up.
The key: Stay grounded.
MSU (7-8, 2-1 SEC), which visits Tennessee (8-7, 0-3) for a 3 p.m. tipoff (SEC Network), is hoping to shake off Wednesday's 75-43 home loss to Alabama. First-year coach Rick Ray said his young team had lost some of its edge during a three-game winning streak.
"I always say that reading the press clippings is like poison. The poison can't hurt you unless you drink it," Ray said. "Those guys started looking and seeing themselves in the media and got kind of satisfied with where they were, and we can't be that way. We can never be satisfied."
Alabama gave MSU fits with a full-court press, forcing 21 turnovers. Tennessee isn't a pressing team, but second-year coach Cuonzo Martin puts a big emphasis on defense.
Ray knows Martin well, as the two were together on Matt Painter's staff at Purdue for two seasons. Both coaches run a motion offense and preach hard-nosed defense.
"The big thing is with Tennessee, I know Cuonzo Martin, and they're going to compete," Ray said. "We'd better get ready to just go out and compete. It's not going to be an X's an O's situation, it's going to be like, are you ready to play competitive basketball?"
Vols struggling
Tennessee is trying to break out of a funk, having lost its last four games. The Volunteers haven't started 0-4 in the SEC since 1994. They've lost the three league games by an average of 10.3 points, and 34 percent of the scoring has come from guard Jordan McRae, who's averaging 23.3 points in SEC play.
No other player is averaging double figures during that span.
"This is the sort of hole we can get ourselves out of," McRae said. "But these next couple of games are must-win, so we've got to do whatever we've got to do, watch film and try to get it straightened out."
A good way for Tennessee to solve its scoring woes would be by creating turnovers and getting into transition. That's one area MSU will be working on improving – it's got the league's worst assist-to-turnover ratio.
MSU guard Jalen Steele, a Knoxville native, knows the key to winning today.
"Cutting down on turnovers. Get all the second-chance balls and all the loose balls, and come out there and expend all the energy on the court. Put all of it on the court and don't save nothing, don't hold back."

Diddy and Dr. Dre are proud to bring you their best collaborative effort yet –Diddybeats. According to the dynamic duo of musical perfection, Diddybeats are "the future of sound," and there are no finer judges of that than Diddy and Dre.
Kanye West is right — he has haters everywhere. The latest – rapper Vince P, who claims that Kanye's Grammy-winning song, "Stronger," is a rip-off of one of his own.
I won't bore you with the details but suffice it to say it was a great day and I received many cool gifts, one of which was the xbox 360 version of Red Dead Redemption.
Jay-Z adds a verse to a newly remixed version of "XXXO" off of M.I.A.'s upcoming and highly anticipated new album, ///Y/. The song is more electro-pop than politically charged hip-hop and with Hov lending his skills, it's reminiscent of the duo's first collaboration at the 2009 Grammy Awards with their version of "Swagga Like Us."
Whether you hate him, love him, or don't understand him, you can't deny that Eminem is on top of the rap world.
To the casual listener, the Deftones latest album, Diamond Eyes, doesn't seem all that different from the hard-rocking California band's previous releases. However, the album, which dropped May 4, isn't your average Deftones disc, because there's far more to the story than just writing, recording and releasing.
Deer Tick front man John McCauley has been honing his sound since 2004, touring around the country and taking inspiration from his travels. Even the band's name was inspired by one of McCauley's adventures — a hike that ended with a deer tick attaching itself to McCauley's scalp.
Born in Washington, D.C., to a Sudanese father and an African-American mother, Amir Mohamed grew up in Maryland, influenced by soul and rap as well as the myriad of musicians on both sides of his family.
After the devastating news from Mexico hit the news everywhere after up to 5,000 barrels (200,000 gallons) of oil per day leaked into the ocean of the Louisiana Coast threatening wildlife and sea animals, musicians have come to its aid!

Reviews of this property
As always: Great place. Clean basic room in central London across from a major train / tube station. And: Affordable!
I really liked the apartment. It was definitly in the middel of London City and I could have reached anything I wanted by foot.
Once again (I had been here a couple of years ago), everything was ok. Good location, and a comfortable place. Thanks for a good time Marcos
It was simply perfect! The room is just 2 minutes to walk,from the main train station, "Liverpool Street" away. Very convenient for people who come from Stansted with the stansted express. The Underground is there as well. Was surprised when my room was cleand, the first time i came back. Normaly its just an apartement not a hotel. Quiet place in the evening. Some classic pubs are in the same street and breakfast is available just right around the corner. As a german, i had my problems with the english shower temperatur system, but you get used to it soon. Check in/out is at the direct next door in a little office which is very easy. If i go back to visit London,i would definitley stay here again!
Disappointing experience. It looks very nice in the pics but the reality it's not the same. The room is old, the window is terrible, cold and noise gets in easily. The building is old, with thin walls, the bathroom is dirty, the sink is stuck... the general experience is disgusting. Only good point it's the location very close to Liverpool Street Station.
It's a Really, Really Nice place to Stay! It's a fabulous location! E as to check in and check out! I recomend!
The location is perfect because you can take 3 different train lines from liverpool station which is only 1min away from the flat.
It is not really big, but you only spend time there in the morning and at night. We had a lovely stay in London!
I stayed here 2 years ago.
The room is ok, not big but clean and comfortable.
We have no problem for the key or for organization.
A good room in a convenient location. Was staying on a Saturday night and didn't have any problem with noise others have written about. No bells and whistles to the room or apartment as a whole, but bed was comfy, everything worked and was clean. Would definitely recommend and will likely stay again.
