|There is a need to develop strategies to automatically position mobile sensors to acquire data that contains accurate and complete information. This data is required to build models that are needed for navigation, manipulation, inspection, object recognition and verification. Systematic, random and exhaustive sensing techniques are inefficient. Automatic placement strategies can economize on the use of resources and maximize the quality and content of the information that is acquired.
In this thesis methods are developed to generate the viewpoints (position and orientation) for a two dimensional laser range scanner and other sensors with a high angular field of view (>180o), a low angular resolution, and a limited range of detection can acquire accurate and complete information. A candidate viewpoint must satisfy a number of detectability constraints: the target feature must be visible and enclosed within the sensor? angular and range field of view. Two other constraints that affect the density and accuracy of the data must also be satisfied. The methods use descriptions of the sensor, the feature and analytic expressions of the constraints to generate a region in cartesian space that encloses the set of viewpoints that will satisfy each of the constraints. The intersection of the candidate viewpoints for all the constraints is the set of positions from where the sensor can acquire an accurate and complete image.
To simplify the problem a two step process is adopted. First, a position from where the sensor can detect the feature (satisfying all constraints) is selected, and then the sensor is oriented so that the feature is in the sensor? field of view. When a sensor is not able to acquire accurate and complete information in a single image, multiple viewpoints are generated. To generate these viewpoints the feature is recursively subdivided until for each sub-feature there is at least one viewpoint from where the sensor can acquire accurate and complete information. The information contained in the images that are acquired from these viewpoints is sufficient to construct an accurate and complete description of the entire feature.
The methods developed in this dissertation are able to generate viewpoints that are inside the cavity of a concave feature. The methods also apply to sensors with wide angular field of view, limited detection range, and low angular resolution.

The placenta is the link between you and your baby. When the placenta does not work as well as it should, your baby can get less oxygen and nutrients from you. As a result, your baby may:
Placental dysfunction; Uteroplacental vascular insufficiency; Oligohydramnios
The placenta may not work well due to pregnancy problems or social habits, such as:
Certain medicines can also increase the risk of placental insufficiency.
In some cases, the placenta:
A woman with placental insufficiency usually does not have any symptoms.
Your health care provider will measure the size of your growing womb (uterus) at each visit, starting about halfway through your pregnancy.
If your uterus is not growing as expected, a pregnancy ultrasound will be done. This test will measure your baby's size and growth, and assess the size and placement of the placenta.
Other times, problems with the placenta or your baby's growth may be found on a routine ultrasound that is done during your pregnancy.
Either way, your doctor will order tests to check how your baby is doing. The tests may show that your baby is active and healthy, and the amount of amniotic fluid is normal. Or, these tests can show that the baby is having problems.
You may be asked to keep a daily record of how often your baby moves or kicks.
The next steps your doctor will take depend on:
If your pregnancy is less than 37 weeks and the tests show that your baby is not under too much stress, your doctor may decide to wait longer. Sometimes you may need to get more rest. You will have tests often to make sure your baby is doing well. Treating high blood pressure or diabetes may also help improve the baby's growth.
If your pregnancy is over 37 weeks or tests show your baby is not doing well, your health care provider may want to deliver your baby. Labor may be induced (you will be given medicine to make labor start), or you may need a cesarean section (C-section).
Problems with the placenta can affect the developing baby's growth. The baby cannot grow and develop normally in the womb if it does not get enough oxygen and nutrients.
When this occurs, it is called intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). This increases the chances of complications during pregnancy and delivery.
Getting prenatal care early in pregnancy will help make sure that the mother is as healthy as possible during the pregnancy.
Smoking, alcohol, and other recreational drugs can interfere with the baby's growth. Avoiding these substances may help prevent placental insufficiency and other pregnancy complications.

Imagination lets old buildings take on new lives
A former post office and former stable show how creative re-use can extend the lives of old buildingsNovember 22, 2013 9:20 PM
Colleen Rohm has stepped up to the counter at 132 E. Main St. many times since moving to Carnegie 25 years ago. But where she used to drop off packages, she now picks up a cup of coffee.
"It is a little strange, but I really like it. This is a destination for us," she said, looking at her friend, Andrew Welsh.
"I come here quite a bit -- I'm a coffeeholic," he said, smiling.
The red-brick building that was Carnegie's main post office for nearly a century closed several years ago, and its operations moved to a smaller building across the street. Developer Craig Cozza, pharmacist Greg Romeo and his wife, Ashley Comer, have reimagined the space as the Carnegie Coffee Co. and the Medicine Shoppe, both of which opened in June. Serving illy coffee roasted in Italy and a variety of sandwiches and pastries, the lively open space blends modern design elements, such as stainless steel and exposed ductwork with marble counters salvaged from the walls of an old restroom and faced with hundreds of mailboxes.
It's the sort of adaptive reuse that urban planners and community development agencies love. To highlight success stories like this one, the Post-Gazette and Design Center have added a commercial renovation category to the Renovation Inspiration Contest (see story at right). Besides bringing new life to old buildings, such projects can jumpstart a neighborhood.
Just ask James Frederick, who moved his James Gallery from Dormont to a former stable and carpet warehouse on South Main Street in the West End nearly 11 years ago. His family wondered if he was making a mistake moving his art gallery to the city.
"It was a bit of a ghost town," he conceded. "There wasn't a car on the street when we came."
Now his neighbors include Artifacts (art and antiques), Jacob Evans Kitchen & Bath, Ceramiche Tile & Stone, Steinway Piano Gallery, and Pittsburgh Musical Theater.
"We saw potential here. These buildings worked for us," said Gayle Irwin, Mr. Frederick's partner.
"We wanted to be part of the city's rebirth," Mr. Frederick said.
Ms. Irwin designed the main gallery space, an adjacent smaller gallery and a courtyard garden that links the two. Eighteen-foot ceilings, halogen lights and large windows that replaced stable doors show off the original artwork that changes periodically. A show featuring paintings by Carnegie Mellon art professor Patricia Bellan-Gillen ended earlier this month. The main gallery is now showing "Obscure/Reveal," a collection of 10 artists' work in encaustic.
The transformation began when the larger building was gutted, leaving four original sandstone columns that define the front. Moving the entrance from the front to the side highlighted the new garden and brought a different traffic flow to the circa 1910 stable. Blumcraft created the new entry doors and the wood, aluminum and glass railing on the open staircase that's home to some of the architectural pieces that hint at the buildings' age. The cast-iron balustrade -- intentionally installed upside-down -- was salvaged from an old building by Norbert Frederick, James' father and a well-known designer in Pittsburgh.
General contractor Danny Brown of MBM Contacting also incorporated eight solid cherry doors that Mr. Frederick and Ms. Irwin found at Construction Junction. Ms. Irwin came up with the idea to use iron towel bars as door handles and designed the steel gate leading to the garden. Christopher Wyland designed a unique kitchen counter that folds like a knife. It's a focal point for guests at art openings and other events held at the gallery.
"We wanted a little bit of theater," Mr. Frederick said.
Antique arched doors from Belgium, purchased at Architectural Emporium in Canonsburg, highlight the entrance to the garden, where a wine press purchased from a Paris flea market takes center stage.
The smaller building, which is a little older than the stable, once held a toy factory, a print shop and later a carpet warehouse. Exposed trusses on the ceiling were black with soot when the renovation began. In the rear of the building is a frame shop.
"We wanted to be respectful of the building," Mr. Frederick said.
That was also a key consideration in the redesign of the old post office.
"It's just a neat building in the heart of Carnegie," said Mr. Cozza, a principal of Cozza Enterprises and owner of Pro Bikes.
He initially stored bikes in the building while looking for the right tenant. Mr. Romeo, meanwhile, was looking for a new location for his pharmacy, then a short distance down the street. He and his wife had long wanted to own a coffee shop and saw a chance to house both businesses in the same building. Jeff Stephan, a Coldwell Banker Real Estate agent and former director of Carnegie Community Development Corp., brought them together.
Architects Smith & Associates of Rochester, N.Y., worked closely with Mr. Romeo and Ms. Comer to design a space that was a clean, bright backdrop for fixtures and finishes like those she found on Pinterest. Yet it also preserved the best parts of the old post office. Adding complexity to the plan were very specific size and design requirements for a pharmacy and handicapped accessibility.
Mr. Cozza's contractors, who usually build retail centers from the ground up, enjoyed the challenge of reusing the mailboxes, doors, Douglas fir floors and marble counters that now give a satisfying "clink" when someone sets down a coffee cup. And Mr. Romeo got the performance space he wanted for his friend and shop manager, Matt Harkness, to practice the art of coffee-making.
"Matt is doing every shot of espresso by hand," Mr. Romeo said. "It's the performance and interaction with the customer, the sound of it, the taste and smell. You can't leave anything out."
As attractive as that may be for coffee lovers, it's a little confusing for people who come in and ask, "This isn't a post office anymore?"
But most Carnegie residents have caught on by now.
"People come in all the time to see their old mailboxes," Ms. Comer said. "Sometimes they take pictures with them."

Shares of Apple (AAPL) are down $22. 94 or 4.2%, at $506.75, recovering from a low of the session of $506.01, as a couple of different analysts warned of a possible shortfall in iPhone sales not this quarter but next.
UBS's Steve Milunovich, reiterating a Buy rating on the shares, cut his price target to $700 from $780 after reducing 2013 and 2014 estimates to reflect what could be lower iPhone sales than he'd been expecting, and lower iPad sales.
Milunovich cut his EPS estimate for the fiscal year ending next September to $47 from $51.50, on revenue of $187.22 billion. That is below the consensus for $192.32 billion and $49.63. Milunovich's "checks" of the supply chain, he writes, suggest the "build rate" for the iPhone is "falling to 25 million units for the March quarter" while he's been estimating sales of the iPhone of 40 million that quarter. For the current quarter, he is modeling 45 million units, unchanged, but he cut his March-quarter number to 41 million from 46 million.
For all of 2013, Milunovich cut his estimate from 170 million units to 155 million.
He adds that some sources in China are telling him the iPhone 5 will not be as popular in that country as was the last model, the 4S.
Milunovich thinks Apple might be able to strike a deal with the largest carrier, China Mobile (CHL), by late next year:
Our sense is that Apple and China Mobile could partner on the iPhone toward the end of 2013, representing a potential 13-17m units in annualized demand. Should a deal come sooner, Apple would have a better opportunity in building a sound foothold while warding off share gains from incumbent high-end players – Samsung, HTC, and Nokia. Such a deal with similar economics found in other key markets could exceed $6.00 of earnings on an annualized basis. Regaining share in developed markets and developing new sources of growth, particularly in Brazil and Mexico, would also be sources for earnings upside.
Milunovich models $28.92 billion in iPhone sales this quarter, and $25.83 billion next quarter, on sales of 45 million and 41 million, respectively.
Street consensus is for $30.55 billion this quarter and $27.06 billion next quarter.

A bone mineral density (BMD) test measures how much calcium and other types of minerals are in an area of your bone.
This test helps your health care provider detect osteoporosis and predict your risk of bone fractures.
Bone density testing can be done several ways.
The most common and accurate way uses a dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) scan. DEXA uses low-dose x-rays. (You receive more radiation with a chest x-ray.)
There are two types of DEXA scans:
If you are or could be pregnant, tell your provider before this test is done.
The scan is painless. You need to remain still during the test.
Bone mineral density (BMD) tests are used to:
You should have bone mineral testing or screening if you have an increased risk of osteoporosis. You are more likely to get osteoporosis if you are:
Women under age 65 and men ages 50 to 70 are at increased risk of osteoporosis if they:
Current practice recommends BMD retesting every 2 years. However, some women may be able to wait a much longer time between their screening tests. Talk to your provider about how often you should be tested.
The results of your test are usually reported as a T-score and Z-score:
With either score, a negative number means you have thinner bones than average. The more negative the number, the higher your risk of a bone fracture.
A T-score is within the normal range if it is -1.0 or above.
Bone mineral density testing does not diagnose fractures. Along with other risk factors you may have, it helps predict your risk of having a bone fracture in the future. Your provider will help you understand the results.
If your T-score is:
Treatment recommendation depends on your total fracture risk. This risk can be calculated using the FRAX score. Your provider can tell you more about this. You can also find information about FRAX online.
Bone mineral density uses a slight amount of radiation. Most experts feel that the risk is very low compared with the benefits of finding osteoporosis before you break a bone.

About Jeff Masters
Cat 6 lead authors: WU cofounder Dr. Jeff Masters (right), who flew w/NOAA Hurricane Hunters 1986-1990, & WU meteorologist Bob Henson, @bhensonweather
By: Dr. Jeff Masters , 1:25 PM GMT on August 26, 2009
First-light satellite images of the tropical wave (92L) a few hundred miles northeast of the Bahama Islands show that the system has developed an organized surface circulation, and 92L will likely be named Tropical Storm Danny later today. This morning's QuikSCAT pass confirms the presence of a surface circulation, and the satellite saw top winds of 50 mph in a cluster of thunderstorms well east of the center. Wind shear has dropped to the moderate range, 10 - 15 knots. The upper-level low 92L is moving underneath has plenty of dry air in it, and the upper low is injecting this dry air into 92L's west side, keeping and heavy thunderstorm activity from developing on that side. The Hurricane Hunters are in 92L, and have found surface winds up to 57 mph so far this morning. NHC continues to give 92L a high (greater than 50% chance) of developing into a tropical depression by Thursday afternoon.
Figure 1. Water vapor satellite image from 8:15 am EDT 8/26/09 showing dry air associated with an upper-level low pressure system to the west of 92L's center of circulation. Image credit: NOAA/SSD.
The forecast for 92L
As 92L continues to plow through the upper low, the low will weaken, and wind shear is expected to decline to the low range, 5 - 10 knots, by tonight. However, the upper-level low will continue to dump dry, cold air into 92L through Thursday afternoon, slowing down development. By Thursday night, when 92L should be several hundred miles off the coast of northern Florida, the upper-level low may be weak enough and far enough away that 92L will find itself in a region with light upper level anticyclonic winds, which would favor more rapid development. Most of the intensity models, including the GFDL, HWRF, and SHIPS model, forecast that 92L will become a hurricane by Friday. However, this favorable environment will not last long, since a strong trough of low pressure will be approaching the U.S. East Coast on Friday. This trough will bring high wind shear of 20 - 30 knots by Friday night. This trough should be strong enough to turn 92L to the north. The models have come into better agreement keeping 92L offshore as it passes North Carolina, though the storm is certainly capable of giving the Outer Banks a direct hit. As 92L passes North Carolina, it should start heading north-northeast, with a second landfall likely Saturday night or Sunday morning somewhere between Massachusetts and Nova Scotia. At that time, 92L is likely to be a strong tropical storm or weak Category 1 hurricane, with winds in the 55 - 80 mph range. It currently appears that 92L will not bring tropical storm-force winds to the Bahamas or to Florida.
Elsewhere in the Atlantic
The models have been inconsistently predicting formation of several tropical waves coming off the coast of Africa over the next week, and I am going to stop mentioning these forecasts until we get two models predicting the same thing, several model runs in a row.
I'll have an update later today.

What Is Obesity?
Content Provided By Surgical Bariatrics Northwest
Surgical Bariatrics Northwest in Idaho was founded to help fight the epidemic problem of obesity through the application of state-of-the-art obesity surgery and medical treatment methods.
Obesity: A Progressive Disease
Obesity is actually the most common form of malnutrition in the western world. Left untreated, it causes progressive dysfunction of many of our body systems, slowly consuming its victims and leading to premature death. It does not respect gender, race, age or socioeconomic class. The negative impact of obesity is compounded by its association with social discrimination.
Why Obesity Surgery?
Morbid obesity is a very serious form of obesity in Idaho. In this disease, a person has become more than 100 pounds heavier than their ideal body weight (Body mass index of 40 or more). When obesity reaches this level, there is a drastic increase in the associated medical problems (co-morbidities) and a sharp statistical increase in premature death rates.
Unfortunately, efforts at controlling this severe form of obesity by nonsurgical means (diet, exercise, drugs, behavioral modification) tend to be ineffective. More than 75% of patients regain their body weight within a few years of non-surgical treatment.
On the other hand, treating morbid obesity with surgery, although risky, is a highly effective and durable treatment. When a person becomes morbidly obese, the risks of surgery are much lower than the risks of going untreated. In this setting, obesity surgery becomes a reasonable and attractive option.
Medical Conditions Associated With Morbid Obesity:
- Sleep Apnea
- Hypertension
- Congestive Heart Failure
- Diabetes mellitus
- Liver dysfunction
- Varicose veins/hemorrhoids
- Leg edema
- Urinary incontinence
- Infertility
- Depression
- Migraine headaches
- Restrictive lung disease
- Coronary artery disease
- Stroke
- Gastroesophageal reflux disease
- Gallbladder disease
- Elevated cholesterol and triglycerides
- Abdominal wall hernias
- Increased risk of breast, uterine and colon cancer
- Polycystic ovary syndrome
- Pseudotumor cerebri

As the world celebrates what would have been Julia Child's 100th birthday, Charlestonians packed into the Library Society to celebrate the American icon with a lecture by noted Charleston chef and restaurant proprietor Robert Dickson.
There was hardly an empty seat in the room, and guests listened with rapt attention as Dickson detailed his friendship with Julia Child. Dickson opened with a song and moved to a talk punctuated with charming video clips of Child, biographical tidbits, and personal letters exchanged between Dickson and Child. "Could you imagine taking the time to write to some 20-year-old kid as your show is about to launch?" Dickson laughed. "I'd be planning a party... Or making food for a party!"
The talk came to an end with a loud round of applause, and the large crowd migrated eagerly toward a chocolate Grand Marnier cake made by Dickson himself, along with savory bites and a pate made from Child's signature recipe. Guests lingered into the evening, many waiting their turn to speak to Dickson before heading out into the warm summer evening.
The Charleston Library Society was founded in 1748, and is credited with paving the way for the founding of the College of Charleston in 1770. Today the Library Society remains an active membership library, maintained through the memberships and gifts of individuals. The Library Society also hosts a number of speakers, classes, and cultural events.

Authority on Hobbes to discuss world order, Nov. 16
Posted November 11, 2004; 04:23 p.m.
Noel Malcolm, the world's foremost authority on philosopher Thomas Hobbes, will deliver the inaugural Princeton Institute for International and Regional Studies Distinguished Lecture at 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 16, in 1 Robertson Hall.
Malcolm, a fellow of All Souls College, Oxford University, will speak on "Hobbes and the Contemporary World Order."
In addition to being a historian of political thought, Malcolm also has produced major histories of Bosnia and of Kosovo, which illustrated that the common interpretation that the 1990s conflicts were due to a resurgence of "ancient hatreds" was fundamentally untrue.
In his lecture, Malcolm will show that the common view that Hobbes was against international cooperation is fundamentally misleading, and demonstrate how this conclusion emanated from Hobbes' famously low view of human nature.

I found this speculation interesting ... it came through a piece of spam marketing an investment newsletter, but the historical content was pretty interesting. It laid out a connection between energy wealth and politcal power. Here's the summary: (as best I can remember)
Teddy Roosevelt became POTUS around the time that the Spindletop (TX) oil discovery occurred. The wealth generated by this production allowed TR to begin socialistic programs and prosperity to the country. He targeted Standard Oil as being "unfair" to competition. Voters loved TR and his "Square Deal". TR was not really a conservative who believed in small govt, and there are many quotations to indicate that.
FDR came to the POTUS after the Salt Dome oil discovery. That was also responsible for pulling the US out of the depression. FDR also became wildly popular as he created a multitude of alphabetic agencies, and more social programs associated with his "New Deal". The electorate returned him to office 3 times.
Now we are on the dawn of a new energy boom ... both natural gas and shale oil ... and this new boom should bring a windfall to the US economy around 2015 (how handy!). Just talking about NG ... there is only one licensed export terminal for LNG, with the US poised to become the largest exporter of LNG to the energy-hungry rest of the world. 8 more licenses for such terminals have been sitting on Obama's desk for a year. NG prices in Japan are 4X the prices in the US.
The govt stands to gain a lot of $ from licensing and regulations of these huge energy resources. Talk about picking winners and losers ... 8 licenses to be granted in Obama's hands.
If the historical pattern has any significance, the fulfillment of these energy resources should make Obama into a national hero. And it will give him the political support to continue his POTUS-ship and the funds for more expansion of entitlement programs, perhaps by supporting Michelle as his proxy in the 2016 election? That might be easier than re-amending the Constitution to allow a 3rd term to himself.
This energy windfall will generate jobs and prosperity even in spite of Obama's policies to the contrary. It would follow that the good stuff will be attributed to him, and the electorate will love him by the end of his 2nd term ... both to those who want jobs and those who want free stuff.
Meanwhile shale oil drilling/fracking will also be coming into its own, and could rival the NG windfall.
China might actually get its debt repaid since China will need this energy, and the US will have more of it than anyone else in the world. World power status could once again shift in favor of the US for its economic power.
An interesting scenario, I thought, with Obama being in the right place in the right time. Or maybe the powers, like Soros, that have supported Obama saw this handwriting on the wall (the Bakken, after all, is not uniquely new news) and, therefore, the 2012 election was VERY important, more so than it might have appeared on the surface.
Also interesting, other countries that have tried such extensive socialism, have done so starting from a weak economic position (Russia, China), while the US would embark on the grand experiment with a prosperous economy; although Japan started out with a strong economy with help of US investment there, but its economy has not done that well in more recent years as it became more socialistically inclined.
Now, I'll go walk the hounds.

Everybody says pick a training system that is right for you and stick to it. I read that all the time on this site. Great advice. How do I know what training system is best for me? I've looked at all of them but the info they give about each is limited. I dont know whats in say, Hillman or Smartfetch other than what it tells me in the add. I cant go out and buy all the available traing systems,I would end up with more money in them than I would have in my pup!
Maybe my question is,what made you pick the system you picked. What about it did you like over the others and why?

Plant Guide
Incredibly sweet flavor and superbly delicate flesh
Vining. Delicata's 7 to 9" oblong fruit has ivory-colored skin striped with green. Its flesh has a rich, sweet-potato-like flavor which is ideal for baking or stuffing. Its short vines are prolific.Cucurbitaceae Cucurbita pepo
Delicata squash is a type of winter squash with a distinctive long shape with longitudinal stripes. Also known as the carnival squash for its colorful appearance, often bright yellow, orange and green. It is named ";delicata" because of its skin, which is thin enough to be either easily peeled off prior to cooking, or eaten once it has been cooked.
Winter squash is a summer-growing annual vegetable, in the same family as summer squash. Unlike summer squash, though, winter squash is harvested and eaten in the mature fruit stage, when the seeds within have matured fully and the skin has hardened into a tough rind. At this stage, most varieties of this fruit can be stored for use during the winter. It is generally cooked before eating.

Winter Squash are sprawling plants, notorious for taking up a lot of room; so do not plant them in the middle of the intensive garden. They take a lot less space if grown vertically on trellises or cages, but then of course they cast a considerable amount of shade. Generally it is best to plant them in hills at the edge of the garden and let them run off into unused space. The site of an old compost pile by a wire fence is perfect. Once established they can compete with almost any plant, so long as their roots are in good soil and they are well fed and watered.

In 2013, in reflection of the International Year of Water Cooperation, World Water Day is dedicated to the theme of cooperation around water and is coordinated by UNESCO in collaboration with UNECE and UNDESA on behalf of UN-Water.
World Water Day is held annually on 22 March as a means of focusing attention on the importance of freshwater and advocating for the sustainable management of freshwater resources. An international day to celebrate freshwater was recommended at the 1992 United Nations Conference on Environment and Development (UNCED). The United Nations General Assembly responded by designating 22 March 1993 as the first World Water Day. Each year, UN-Water chooses a different theme for World Water Day to highlight a specific aspect of freshwater and a different member of UN-Water is in charge of coordinating activities.
The International Year of Water Cooperation 2013 was officially launched on the occasion of a special kick-off event organized at UNESCO headquarters in Paris, France on 11 February 2013.
The event was opened by UNESCO Director General, Irina Bokova, UN-Water Chair Michel Jarraud, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Tajikistan, Hamrokhon Zartifi and the French Deputy Minister for Development, Pascal Canfi; and brought together representatives of intergovernmental organizations, NGOs, scientists, policy and decision makers and experts from around the world.

Rose was basically created on a wide open field, however quite a bit of earthwork has been done creating berms that shape the holes and make for almost no flat greens. There is a master plan that includes many manmade mandos and sculptures to add difficulty and groovieness but for now the only hazards are the wind- and it can be brutal- the berms and the long grass that doesn't all get mowed in the late summer. We play this one to practice throws and when we cant play the mountain courses.

Played here a few years ago, had to skip hole 1 due to excavation. mostly wide open. The man made hills and hilltop greens are cool. Totally worth playing.

I like the tall tee marker posts. I don't like the layout, flat terrain, and lack of trees or obstacles. It was nice to have a course to play during the winter. One foot of snow!

Only Access Point that did the job 8/30/2014goingjag from HIgganum Ct.
Have a fully insulated barn with no windows other than a small set over a door. I can get AP's that would put a signal out that far but none penetrated the barn. Putting a repeater up on the window didn't help as the signal wasn't strong enough.
Installed one of these outside and instant success. Can now watch DirectTV shows recorded on my DVR by adding a little adapter that makes the receiver think it's hard wired to my home network. Stream music out there from internet no problem. PC with wireless receiver works fine as do iPad and Andorid tablets.
Only way to fly if you have a problem reaching an outside building.

White Gold and Child Labor

The central Asian country of Uzbekistan is currently one of the world's largest exporters of cotton, selling over 800,000 tons of this 'white gold' a year. However, behind this 'white gold' lies a dark story of widespread government-sponsored forced child labor and harrowing working conditions.

Forgiving and predictable design
Excellent performance at nearly any velocity
Boat tail configuration & streamlined polymer tip
Fully tapered jacket & lead-alloy core
Heavy jacketed base stops deformation when firing
Nosler's Ballistic Tip Hunting Bullets are some of the most forgiving and predictable bullets you'll ever use. These bullets deliver the kind of accuracy, consistency, and down-range punch required for downing bucks in any situation. Streamlined polymer ballistic tip resists deformation in the magazine and initiates expansion upon impact. Boat tail configuration combines with the streamlined polymer tip for extreme long range performance. Fully tapered jacket and special lead-alloy core allow controlled expansion and optimum weight retention at all practical velocities. Heavy jacketed base prevents bullet deformation during firing and acts as a platform for large diameter mushroom.

It's never too late to reap the benefits of exercise. In a study at Tufts University, researchers introduced strength-training to nursing home residents. At the beginning of the study, most were so frail they needed help getting out of a chair. Within two months, they had doubled their strength, and two of residents even threw away their canes.

Arthritis affects more than 5.0 million adults in California
Gout, a specific form of arthritis, affects 3.0 million adults in the US
Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that is caused by the buildup of too much uric acid in the body. Uric acid comes from the breakdown of substances called purines. Normally, uric acid dissolves in the blood and passes through the kidneys and out of the body in urine. However, in some cases uric acid can build up in the blood and lead to sharp uric acid crystal deposits in joints, often in the big toe, causing pain, swelling, redness, and stiffness. A gout attack can be brought on by stressful events, alcohol or drugs, or another illness.
There are evidence-based self-management education and physical activity programs that are effective and safe for people with arthritis. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention provides program recommendations for people with arthritis. In California, CAPP is implementing the following self-management and physical activity programs:

If you went at midnight, how many people where waiting for Episode I on DVD?
There were about 5 at my local Wal-Mart.
I feel a great disturbance in the Force.
Including me, 3 people. BUT, Wal-Mart was selling it for $22 and the guy at the head of the line made them price match best buy's $17.99 price, so all three of us got it for $4 less.
I've stopped buying DVDs from W-M because they no longer try to compete with other DVD retailers for getting the best price (they used to be at least $1 cheaper).
I think I'll wait a few hours and get it from Target instead and save $5. They have it on sale this week.

Panel to discuss grade inflation proposals, April 15
Posted April 13, 2004; 12:42 a.m.
A panel discussion on the recently announced proposals to curb grade inflation at Princeton will be held at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, April 15, in the Whig Hall Senate Chamber.
The panel will include Nancy Malkiel, dean of the college; Matt Margolin, president of the Undergraduate Student Government; and Erhan Cinlar, chair of the Department of Operations Research and Financial Engineering. Audience members will be allowed to ask questions.
The proposals , which will be presented to Princeton's faculty at its April 26 meeting, are intended to establish a common grading standard across the University of less than 35 percent A's for undergraduate courses and less than 55 percent A's for independent work. They also seek to provide clear guidelines for faculty and students about the meaning of letter grades.
The event is sponsored by the American Whig-Cliosophic Society .

Look Out, 4G LTE -- 5G Trials Set for 2013

The UK will test 5G beginning next year
If you recently picked up a smartphone like the
Samsung Galaxy S3
iPhone 5
and reveled at the "lightning-fast" 4G LTE network, be prepared -- the next best thing is already on its way.
According to
Giga OM
, 5G network connectivity will begin testing in the United Kingdom next year. The testing will take place at the University of Surrey's Centre for Communication Systems Research (CCSR) in the UK.
The project is expected to cost around £35 million ($56 million USD), where about £11.6 million will come from the UK government and the other £24 million will be provided by a group of tech companies, including Samsung, Huawei, Fukitsu Laboratories Europe, Rohde-Schwarz, Telefonica Europe and AIRCOM International.
The CCSR has been working on 5G for a few years, but it is just now coming together to work with the other companies to make 5G a reality. According to Professor Rahim Tafazolli, head of CCSR,
the new network
will be spectrum-efficient and energy-efficient. It will also be faster, with cell speeds bumped up to a capacity of 10Gbps.
"Mobile data traffic is increasing exponentially year-on-year," said Tafazolli. "The amount of spectrum that we have now is not sufficient to carry all the traffic. We are soon going to run out of capacity, even with LTE, unless there is a huge amount of spectrum made available -- and if we are doubling traffic every year, then even twice the spectrum [that is currently available] is not sufficient.
"We have developed many technologies that are suitable for 5G using computer simulation and mathematical analysis and what this test bed allows us is to integrate all these technologies together and optimise them end-to-end and take them to standards afterwards. We are looking at the processors, protocols, algorithms and techniques...we won't try to optimise the hardware implementation -- that is something industry will do. We have developed the know-how."
According to
TechWeek Europe
, a 200Mbps 5G network trial will begin at CCSR in 2013. The 5G network won't likely be launched to the public for another 10-15 years.
"We're bringing all the major stakeholders together and we are going to decide on the advanced technologies and test them end-to-end. Once we are happy with the set of technologies that we have developed, in terms of performance, then we will push that particular technology towards standardization."

As we've approached this month's draft, several suitors have emerged for Texas A&M quarterback Ryan Tannehill, making it very possible that someone will need to move up to take him.
If the Dolphins are interested in selecting Tannehill, they will need to try to gauge how other teams feel about him. Would the Browns, who own the fourth pick, take him? Is there another team–the Chiefs or Eagles, perhaps–willing to jump the Dolphins and Browns? The Vikings have expressed a willingness to trade the No. 3 pick, more than likely to a team who covets Tannehill. Maybe it will turn out being a none-of-the-above scenario.
But what would it actually cost to move up to No. 3?
ESPN's James Walker used ESPN.com's draft-pick value chart to determine the value of the pick.
Minnesota's No. 3 pick is worth 2,200 points on the scale, 800 more than the Dolphins' eighth pick. So, in order to complete a potential trade with the Vikings, the Dolphins would need to make up the difference with several additional picks.
Once you reach the second round, the value of the picks begin the drop sharply. The Dolphins' second-round pick–No. 42 overall, the tenth pick in the second round–is worth just 480 points. In any trade with to move up to N0. 3, the Dolphins would likely need to sacrifice their first, second, one of their thirds and an additional late-round pick.
It's a pretty steep price to pay just to move up five spots. But, of course, it isn't solely about the tangible worth of the pick; it's about how you value Tannehill. Is he worth it? Or would it more beneficial to stay your ground and select a handful of players instead?

I second that FFB I think Miami is ok and I also been onboard since 1969 when I was 9 so I've seen some pretty rough years like you have and think they can pull something outta this draft if they stay where they are!

By School report
SENATOBIA – Brad LaPlante has been named the 28th head football coach in Northwest history.
"I want to thank Dr. Spears, Cameron Blount and the entire search committee for having the faith in me to lead this program," LaPlante said. "For my wife and two children, this is a great community and a great place in our lives to be right now."
LaPlante, 35, is the youngest known head coach in the program's 83-year history and will be formally introduced next week at a press conference in Senatobia. He will immediately hit the recruiting trail with national signing day less than a month away.
"We're excited to start a new era of football under coach LaPlante," third-year athletic director Cameron Blount said. "His work ethic and past success speaks for itself. It's a great opportunity for our kids to excel with the plan coach has for his players moving to the next level. He's come from a winning program at Rochester and we hope that translates to success at Northwest and in the MACJC."
LaPlante spent last season at Manvel High School as the special teams coordinator/defensive line coach and prior to that spent a year at Alvin High School where he served as the offensive coordinator and offensive line coach.
Prior to a short stint in the Texas high school ranks, LaPlante spent 11 seasons at NJCAA Division III Rochester Community and Technical College (RCTC) from 1999-2002 and 2004-10. He spent his first two seasons as the offensive line coach and his second two as the co-offensive coordinator before being named the head coach in 2004.
LaPlante had a cumulative head coaching record of 64-16 (53-10 conference record, 10-2 playoff record) from 2004-10 and led RCTC to four state championships in six appearances, five NJCAA bowl games and the 2007 NJCAA Division III National Championship.
"It's going to be great to get back to college football and build those relationships again," LaPlante said. "I think that this is one of the premier jobs in the nation and it has a great history. As a staff we want to continue to build on that."
During his tenure at Rochester, he coached 114 All-Division players, 35 All-Region players and 18 football All-Americans. He was Region XIII Coach of the Year in 2004, 2005 and 2010.
In 2007, he received the Rochester Area Sports Commission "Coach of the Year" award. LaPlante also served as the men's athletic coordinator since 2008 and coordinated intramural athletics at the college.
A former All-State player from Chatfield, Minn., LaPlante played center for RCTC in 1997 and 1998, earning all-conference, all-state and all-region honors. Both years, the Yellowjackets were state champions and earned bowl games in New York and Iowa.
LaPlante earned his associate's degree from RCTC, bachelor's degree from Winona State University and his master's degree from the University of Minnesota. He is married to the former Christie Bronte and the couple has two children, Carson (7) and Cashton (6).
LaPlante replaces Ricky Woods who compiled a 35-13 record (24-6 north division) in five seasons with two north division titles, two runner-up finishes and the school's first bowl win in 20 years.
