Dave Smith Instruments Tetra
The Tetra is another Dave Smith designed piece of analog wizardry that sits somewhere between their Prophet '08 poly-synth and its monophonic desktop module counterpart, the Mopho. In fact, other than the new Prophet '08 themed paint scheme and knobs, the Tetra's case and layout is virtually identical to the Mopho. What the Tetra offers is four-voice polyphony and multitimbral capability using the same acclaimed analog technology of the Prophet '08. It is essentially four Mopho's in one, or a mini Prophet sound module.
The Tetra is state of the art, but features a 100% analog signal path. Its voice architecture is based on the Prophet '08, with two digitally controlled analog oscillators per voice, but with the addition of sub-octave generators for each oscillator. There's a resonant lowpass filter utilizing classic Curtis chips with switchable 2- or 4-pole modes, three DADSR envelope generators, four LFOs, an arpeggiator, and a 16 x 4 analog-style step sequencer (per voice). There are also over 20 different modulation sources and over 40 modulation destinations, as well as a noise generator.
The on-board controls are minimal yet functional. The most important "tweak" knobs are here: Filter Cutoff, Resonance, Attack and Decay/Release. Proving that Dave Smith knows how musicians like to use his instruments, the Cutoff and Resonance knobs are real potentiometers, while all the rest are detent rotary encoders (the Mopho only uses detent encoders). This means you get smooth filter sweeps when turning them, rather than stepped changes, which is especially crucial for slow gradual moves. An additional four assignable parameter controls are front-and-center and can be assigned to affect any other parameters per patch. Although all parameters of the Tetra can be controlled from the minimal front panel, a free Mac/Win patch editor is also available to really dig in deeper for serious synthesizing.
The "Push It! Push It!" button is sort of a novelty, but cool nonetheless. Pushing it is a way to audition the current patch. If the patch has sequence data, the Push It! button will trigger the sequence to start/stop. In addition, LEDs around the Push It! button labeled 1 through 4 will light up to indicate which of the four voices are being used (whether you are triggering sounds from the Push It! button or from MIDI/USB controllers).
Tetra has three operational modes: Program, Combo, and Multi. In Program Mode, the Tetra is a four-voice polyphonic synthesizer with four banks of 128 programs. As with the Prophet '08, each program contains two layers—each layer is essentially a separate patch—that can be used to create keyboard splits or stacked sounds. Banks 1 and 2 are the Prophet '08 factory programs; banks 3 and 4 are a combination of Mopho and new programs. In Combo Mode a different program can be assigned to each of the four voices. Use it to create 8-oscillator thick unison patches, or diverse complex patches, or highly animated cycling patches that trigger up to four different sequences (remember each voice can have its own sequence). In Multi Mode, the Tetra can be used as a multitimbral sound module capable of playing up to four monophonic parts on four MIDI channels, with separate outputs for each voice.
The Tetra has some serious I/O for such a small package. There are four outputs: mono, stereo, or per voice. There's also a headphones output. MIDI In and Out/Thru ports, plus the Tetra is the first DSI model with USB 2.0 for direct connection to your computer or DAW. Finally a dedicated MIDI output called Poly Chain allows the Tetra to be chained to other Tetras, Mophos, or Prophet '08s for increasing the polyphony of your DSI instruments. Up to four Tetras can be poly chained to each other (16 voices), or two Tetras can be poly chained to the Prophet '08 (16 voices), or one Mopho can be poly chained (5 voices). Also of note, the Prophet '08s front panel controls map directly to almost all of Tetra's parameters when poly chained. Alas, there is no audio input available (something the Mopho does offer).
The Tetra—four Mophos in one, four-voice poly synth, four part multitimbral synth with individual outs, Prophet '08 expander, or mini-Prophet '08—the Tetra is a big synth in a little package. It is a real analog subtractive synthesizer with all the modern features you would expect in the 21st century. If the Prophet '08 is outside your price range, or maybe you feel the mono-synth trend embraced by the Mopho is unnecessarily limiting in this day and age, then the Tetra should surely fill that sweet spot in between. It has been used by Morgan Page and Radiohead.

Well it's been an interesting weekend.
I got three mediums off those two hives from last August until I pulled them after the goldenrod flow in late November. I actully left one, the goldenrod, on for winter stores.
My neighbor has taken an interest in beekeeping and has ordered her first two packages slated for April 19. She also got permission to remove another hive in a different location on the same farmers property. It is one of the two that I righted during the winter after the cattle tipped them over. They also belonged to the same beehaver.
We moved them all Saturday to our properties and got them set up with new SBB's, propper inner covers and tops.
We have looked for the person who abandoned them and ran up against dead ends with both names and phone numbers. The landowner said that we could have them and he was compensated with honey. The best we can assertain is that they are over four years old.
They all had between seven and twelve frames of brood in them. The queens were not marked and a dark brown in color, not light like an Italian. They are a darker breed of bee, but not a Carni. The one we took to Prairiegirl's place still had the queen cage in it. They placed the hive and inserted the cage, and never came back.
The two I took home had lots of studs in them. We had to cycle out some bad duragilt frames and added Permacomb. Two of the three were honeybound in the lower brood and all needed more room right away. They were very calm and not flightly at all, it may have helped that the neighbors had been burning the pastures and the smell of smoke was in the air. The whole countryside has been hazy for a week.
These hives are boomers, but the really incredible thing about them is that none of them showed any signs of mites. None on the stud comb that tore open when manipulated, nor on the trays under the SBB's! I'm anxious to see what fall there might be after a week when I am next able to check.
I guess I will give them another two weeks for the studs to mature and start flying and then start splitting them into nucs.

P/B's LP in 2011 was awful. Happy they didn't win a medal with that. The Shibs deserved to be ahead that year even if P/B went clean.
P/B's LP in 2011 was awful. Happy they didn't win a medal with that. The Shibs deserved to be ahead that year even if P/B went clean.
The Shibs need better choreography throughout the program. The transitions are well-executed but basic and not very memorable. There just needs to be a better range of content and more difficult, more interesting holds.
The same goes for the emotional range of the program, which tends to stay at one flat level without many rises and falls. I would like to see them perform conceptual/spiritually-themed work to get away from the awkwardness sexiness (of say a tango) and from the bubbliness that tends not to look mature and is their comfort zone.
I think they need some really interesting, unusual, different programs. To me, that means interesting, unusual music. For example, what about Middle Eastern music? (And I mean actual Middle Eastern music by Arabic artists, not the umpteenth use of "Let the Feeling Begin".) It's so much fun to dance to, and the quick rhythms would allow them to showcase their footwork. They need their own Bollywood, something to make them stand out. I think classical only works in ice dance if you're mature enough to do something interesting or great with it, like K/P's Bach FD or U/Z's Four Seasons or V/M's Carmen or D/W's Samson & Delilah.
I may be way off here , but I think the brother and sister component really limits the artistic boundaries here . I know it has been done previously but I have always found it to be awkward to even watch !!!
I agree. Brother and sister teams are prevented from doing any routine that's too sexy or romantic. This limits them quite a bit, and kind of makes anything they do fall into the category of "cute" or "innocent." The Kerrs were good, but they were never really medal contenders as the Shibs were at one time, and the Duchesnays were from another era, so it's hard to compare. Even they were ultimately defeated by the Russians who did "The Love Between a Man and a Woman."
Interestingly, sexy routines are accepted even when the skaters are married to others (Torvill and Dean) or if one is gay (Jeremy Abbot's Italian boyfriend, if that story is true). But if the skaters are related, all pretending to be lovers is forbidden.
There are ways to relate that aren't romantic as a team, the concept just needs to be creative.
I think Zoueva tried last season to emulate a Duchesnay vibe with their Missing SD, but the program was totally wrong for the required polka and the Shibs just dont have the edgy quality of the Duchesnays. I do think the Shibs would have been better off to move with Igor, who concentrates more on transitions and footwork, but perhaps after this season and the top two teams retire, Zoueva will have more reason to focus on the Shibs as they will be her top team if they stay in Canton.

Chapter 1: Independent and Dependent Events
Probability is present in many parts of our everyday lives. When you say it is raining and your numbers came up in the lottery, you are talking about 2 independent events. The fact that it is raining is not dependent on the fact that your numbers came up in the lottery, and vice versa. If you say that you have the flu and you are taking medicine, you are talking about dependent events. The terms independent and dependent in mathematics are the same as those found in the English language. In order to determine probabilities mathematically, we need to understand the differences between the definitions of independent and dependent. Independent events are those where the outcome of one event is not affected by the other, and dependent events are events where the outcome of one is affected by the other. Other terms, such as mutually inclusive and mutually exclusive, are also important. With mutually inclusive events, the concept of double counting is taken into account in the calculation of probabilities when using the Addition Principle.

Chapter Summary
This chapter covers how events can be diagrammed and organized. It starts with how to draw Venn diagrams, and why they are used. It goes on to cover the distinction of independent and dependent events, and how the Multiplication Rule can be used to solve for probabilities in finite sample spaces. Lastly, it covers mutually inclusive and exclusive events, how to represent those with Venn diagrams, and how to calculate their probabilities.

aka: Kenner rocked!
Back in the day when I was a kid playing with all my old star wars toys I would often lose guns from figures or pieces of ships. What was a young disappointed boy to do? Write Kenner. They sent me bags full of guns, all of them. I wrote once having lost one figures gun and they sent a sandwich baggie filled with all different guns and multiples of each. Forget worrying about losing them. I had like 4 guns for each character! They were also great with missing/broken pieces. I remember the awesome speeder bike ethat blew apart when you pushed the button on it. A piece I had broke and wouldn't snap the thing back together. I wrote Kenner and they sent me a whole new speeder bike. Rock on!

Can anyone help me with pricing of these items? We have a Tangelo Tosser that has only been used a handful of times, I have no idea what we paid for it.
Also have a ThunderBird 400 Launcher used under 20 times. Paid $920.00 for it. What would it be worth now?
We don't use either item and they are just collecting dust. We live in BC, Canada so I would like to advertise them to our local field clubs for sale. They are
costly to ship so will try to sell locally first.
Can anyone advise me what is a fair asking price for these items?
Much appreciated,

Updated on 19 April 2013
What's the confusion about in Taiwan?
Taiwan is a major economic player in the domain of electronics, information and communication technology, and is also considered a producer of intermediary and final products. Although its size and economy is not as robust as its neighbor, China, the island nation of 23 million inhabitants has a per capita gross domestic product (GDP) of $20,000 and spends around seven percent of its GDP on healthcare, which is higher than what is spent by most of its neighbors in Asia Pacific. Moreover, nearly 99 percent of its population is covered by the National Health Insurance Scheme.
The medical device market in Taiwan is valued at about $1.8 billion and is the fifth-largest medical device market in Asia. However, surprisingly Taiwan imports 75 percent of its medical devices from overseas. This shows that a considerable number of medical devices are used in Taiwan and this demand for medtech devices is only going to increase as the nation's 20 percent population become over 65 of age by 2025.
In Taiwan, all medical devices require registration with the Taiwan FDA (TFDA), regardless of the fact of whether they belong to Class I (pose the lowest risk) or Class III (pose the highest risk). For combination devices, classification depends on the product's primary function. There are two applications required for Class II and Class III medical device registration in Taiwan, the Quality System Documentation (QSD) and Product Registration.
Regulatory changes made in 2012-13
During late-2012, the Taiwan FDA announced that it would start using the Summary Technical Documentation (STED) format for medical device technical document submissions, joining regions such as Japan, Australia, Canada, the US, and the European Union. This change occurred to align the country with the Global Harmonization Task Force standards and to aid the goal of achieving uniformity between various countries' regulatory bodies.
STED is expected to fully be implemented for all Class II and III medical devices by July 2013. For product registration, foreign medical device companies have henceforth been advised to include device description and product specification (including variants, components and accessories), as well as an essential principles checklist (including risk analysis and control summary, design and manufacturing process).

Jaguar makes the best birthday present!
Timo Förster, an undergraduate from the University of Greiswald, Germany, is conducting a research internship with me, funded by the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). We developed a project to study the insect communities that develop in small pools of water that plants retain (phytotelmata). Pitcher plants may be the most familiar and best studied phytotelmata communities. These pools may form in flowers, seeds, leaves, and damaged stems. Their communities tend to be dominated by insects, especially beetles. In 2010, KU undergraduates Joe, Riley and Tom studied such communities in two Zingiberales plants at the Los Amigos Biological Station, Peru; our manuscript is going through the review process for publication. Zingiberales are gorgeous plants and make our fieldwork more special.
I conducted fieldwork with Timo in Peru during Oct 2012 and he has stayed in the field collecting data and specimens on these unusual insect-plant interactions. Such a lengthy field stay and enormous specimen collections will require years of study and will yield many manuscripts. I am still immersed in the fieldwork because of Timo's weekly emails reporting on our traps, which plants are flowering, and what surprises he uncovers. His most recent post does not concern insects, but it is quite thrilling:
"We were walking on trail 8 today (Adrian, Nicole, another researcher, and me). Suddenly Adrian, who was walking in the front, made signs to hide behind a tree. Suddenly a big group (perhaps 20-30 animals) of white-lipped peccaries came across and we were directly in the middle of their group, as we were hiding behind a tree. About 10 seconds later, we saw a huge yellow cat walking silently only about 5 meters behind the peccaries. The Jaguar was stalking them and was walking so close to us that we could almost touch it (less than 2 meters distance). We saw the cat for about 15 seconds, until it saw us and got scared and fled. All of the time, I was absolutely stunned. After that encounter we made a big party on the mountain. That was my first jaguar and it was one of the most impressive things I saw in the wild so far."
After many months in the field, I can't imagine a more precious birthday gift for Timo, turning 23 today! We are fortunate to access such high quality habitat at Villa Carmen. I hope my June 2013 field course with KU students will return with equally precious sightings and memories.

2005 GTA Garage Mod Manager
GTA: San Andreas - Community News | @ 12:10 AM MDT | By rappo
Delfi and several others of GTAGarage and GTATools.com have created the very first mod installer for San Andreas. But the cool thing is that it works for GTAIII and Vice City as well! The current release does not have a functional browser, but it does allow you to view all vehicle models, easily install any vehicle modification, and also package/install packaged mods for easy distribution.
The program creates CAR packages for your custom made cars complete with all data needed for installing the car and checks for the need of Dmagic1 wheel mod so that almost nothing can go wrong during installation, the program also contains many useful features which are dedicated to car modders such as manual car data installer and San Andreas col into dff merging which will be extremely helpful in the future. The program works with all 3D gta games, that are GTA3, Vice city and San andreas.
We'll most likely be including .GGM versions of all of our to-be-uploaded vehicle mods from now on, and maybe add some from past uploads. This is a big leap forward for a lot of mod creators and users, and we're waiting to see how well this probably can develop.
Download: Modification Database

P.S. Speaking of mods, I'm going to make the update tomorrow when I have more to post.

I would recommend this unit to anyone NOT looking for their head unit to be able to multitask. This unit is simple and basically does one function at a time. I have a DNX9140 in my other vehicle and I'm able to play movies to my headrests while listening to music in the car and I can half split the car to have the movie audio playing in the back and the radio playing upfront. THIS UNIT DOES NOT HAVE THAT CAPABILITY. But, it does stream bluetooth music, navigation directions extremely well from my iphone with no hiccups (better than my DNX 9140). The unit is slow to execute some commands.

The SEC's baseball coaches have cast their ballots, and Arkansas is the winner.
Coaches predicted the order of finish for the coming season, which begins this weekend, and the Razorbacks got nine of a possible 14 first-place votes for overall champ.
But the SEC is one of the toughest, deepest leagues in the land, and the teams picked behind Arkansas should give them a run.
Vanderbilt was picked to win the East and received three votes for the overall title. Last year's regular season champ, LSU, got one first-place vote, as did Kentucky.
Arkansas hasn't won an SEC title since 2004.
LSU was picked to finish second in the West, followed by Mississippi State and Ole Miss. LSU and
MSU each received one first-place vote, while Arkansas got the other 12.

i have just heard that Dimebag Darrell and three other people were shot dead by a member of the audience at the Damageplan show in Columbus, Ohio last night and two others were seriously injured.
apparently the band were in the middle of the first number at the Alrosa Villa when an as-yet unnamed man - described by eyewitnesses as being in his early 30s wearing a blue hooded top - jumped out of the crowd and onto the stage and shot Darrell in the head at point blank range.
He then fired at the rest of the band before being tackled by venue security. He kept on shooting until police arrived and shot him dead. Of the surviving victims, one person was described as "critical" while the other was described as "fair" by the station. Several others were treated at the scene, suffering from various injuries.
i am very shocked and saddened by this. damageplan were an ok band but pantera were a fantastic group who i always hoped would set aside their differences and get back together again someday.
R.I.P. big man.

Fairewinds' Founder Maggie Gundersen Interviews Environmental Scientist Marco Kaltofen: Radiation In Food Is Going To Be A Nationwide Problem In The US!
Fairewinds' founder Maggie Gundersen interviews environmental scientist and professional engineer Marco Kaltofen about his ongoing analysis of radioactive fallout from Fukushima.

– Are There Safe Levels of Radiation? How Much Radiation Is Safe? (Must-read!!!!!)
Dr. Helen Caldicott (Co-founder of Physicians for Social Responsibility):
– The Propaganda From The Government And The Nuclear Industry About Low-Level Radiation Is Absolute Rubbish:
You've bought the propaganda from the nuclear industry. They say it's low-level radiation. That's absolute rubbish. If you inhale a millionth of a gram of plutonium, the surrounding cells receive a very, very high dose. Most die within that area, because it's an alpha emitter. The cells on the periphery remain viable. They mutate, and the regulatory genes are damaged. Years later, that person develops cancer. Now, that's true for radioactive iodine, that goes to the thyroid; cesium-137, that goes to the brain and muscles; strontium-90 goes to bone, causing bone cancer and leukemia. It's imperative … that you understand internal emitters and radiation, and it's not low level to the cells that are exposed. Radiobiology is imperative to understand these days."

Dear Maggie Gundersen, I here you asking what can be done to protect health of people. Please tell everybody there are specific healthy foods really helping to drive radioisotopes out of our bodies and other foods to take to repair radiation damaged tissus. I am sure it is more efficient than washing hands and taking shoes off because it's in the air which actually just goes in our houses and lungs freely. And there are very healthy ways to deal with this. I am overjoyed that exists now the first official documents and large scale researches that marriy alternative and allopathic approaches and the result is worth really looking closely at it by typing : RADIOACTIVITY DETOX or RADIATION DETOX on google. Healthy and affordable stuffs, available in very large quantities can help everyone now. This is now what people need to know. Governments are much too long and unable to spread even these highly useful, affordable and protective informations.
Would you please do it?
Of course other things like hand washing, getting the officials to do some efficient job is helping, but tell as soon as possible what can each do now to protect children's health to cope with nuclear fallouts we all take in a little or more than little amounts. I'm somewhere sorry it is not already done and require you to do something to not just step and step again just in bad news and just how really, really bad it is even if it is also very important. Take this step further. Thank you very much for your job up to know. Lovingly your's and saintly angrily your's too, dear Maggie

I don't see how any product can prevent radiation that is already in the soil, water used to grow products, the air and environment. Fruit has juices inside, vegetables have water, meat has juices……I don't see how such a thing is possible. Our water is polluted, we cannot see radiation in the air…….the idea of buying something on line to avoid it once it is in the food chain is absurd.
If it is true that the Pacific Ocean will be totally radioactive in six years or less, there is nothing we can do to stop or fix it. We get over 80% of our oxygen from the oceans. We are doomed, and there is no product that can stop it.
Radioactive material is already in beef, cattle eat grass that already has been there since April of 2011. It is in milk and chickens. It is in the rain, the drinking water…..everything that provides life.
Fish is downright dangerous, and eat at your own risk. Same with any and all foods.
They recently found another ancient city under the water near Turkey. It is at least 1500 years older than any ancient Egyptian city, they even had indoor plumbing as the Roman Baths did.
I used to wonder what caused these civilizations to vanish seemingly overnight, leaving no record of their existence, what they did or who they were. I thought it might be wars or biological epidemics. I have looked at all the plausible reasons. What I have seen evolve since the development of nuclear power has given me a different slant.
Man is the only species foolish enough to invent things beyond his abilities to control them. I used to feed wild ravens. They are very smart, they can devise tools to get at food…..truly amazing miniature dinosaurs ( birds are, modern day versions of dinosaurs)….and that is why they have survived millions of years. The things they develop will not come back and destroy them, as nuclear power has for mankind.
We seem only able to go so far before falling apart.
We seem able to reach a level of comfort, like indoor plumbing, and other civilized levels of living before we cause our entire system to collapse.
Why mankind can only go a certain distance before self-destructing, I leave to greater minds than mine, but that seems to be the case. No other species does it.

liberals love affair with unions is just like the conservative love affair with the "good ole days". it always seems better than it really was.
Real wages and treatment have gone down, unquestionably. And, as I said before, not coincidentally with the decrease in the influence of unions.
Right to Work has nothing to do with choice and everything to do with helping businesses increase the margin reflected in that chart.
i saw a gentleman on tv the other day that supported the right to work legislation, when the announcer asked him if he was going to leave the union he said no. he cited that he wouldnt leave the union he worked for because they negotiated his wages and he didnt have a problem with them. there is corruption in unions and people should have the right to chose.
So many people seem to have forgotten about this....
So, now the unions get to run the companies? Is that how it works? Notice they werent closing a plant and cutting jobs, they were opening one in a very attractive coastal state and adding workers to the economy. But the NLRB gets that whine in their ear from the union, and all of a sudden, the government is not only telling a private company how to run its business, but where.
Yeah, them unions....looking out for the workers, by denying other people jobs.
And as far as non union workers benefitting from the unions sacrifices, they also suffer from government sacrifices to the union coffers. Unions were beneficial before there was a OSHA, before there was a NLRB, before the minimum wage and before the courts were opened to all kinds of litigation. Unions only purpose now is to serve the union, not the worker
Fat, drunk and stupid is no way to go through life

Manufacturer: HPI Racing
MSRP: $410 [BizRate]
I've owned a couple of RC cars over the years, starting with the Team Associated RC10 1:10 Buggy that was all the rage in the early 90's. After a break of about a decade, I decided to revisit the RC scene, but this time with a vehicle of a distinctly different pedigree. I was looking for something with substantial power and ready to run out of the box. After looking around and comparing prices and features, I decided to purchase the HPI Racing Savage X 4.6 Nitro Monster Truck, which can be had for about $400.
Historical Perspective
Back in the olden days, if you wanted to get the best in RC you'd have to buy a kit and build it part-by-part. Otherwise you could always buy a Tyco, but the distinction between a kit car and an off-the-shelf car was night and day. While the kit building experience is definitely a learning experience and one of my own cherished memories, it undoubtedly relegated performance RC to the enthusiast crowd rather than the masses.
The Savage X 4.6
The late 90's saw the introduction of many pre-built so called "RTR†(ready to run) versions of the popular kit cars, and the Savage X 4.6 falls squarely into this category. All you need is batteries and fuel to get it running, and boy does it haul. I don't have a radar gun to measure the speed, but HPI's site claims that the Savage X 4.6 can achieve a top speed of over 45 mph. The F4.6 Big Block 4.6cc Engine delivers 2.9HP at 32k RPM, enough to propel the Savage at some ungodly and nearly uncontrollable speeds.
The factory build of the Savage X 4.6 is extremely good. All of the components were properly secured and the Twin Vertical Plate Chassis was stiff enough that I couldn't cause a noticeable deflection when trying to bend and twist it. Having a stiff chassis means that the suspension geometry is properly maintained under stress, allowing for better handling.
On the subject of suspension & handling, that is clearly one of the areas where HPI cut costs in order to bring the price down to a more fathomable level. The 8 oil filled coil-over shocks are made from plastic, which is a far worse choice than what you want, which is hard anodized aluminum. HPI supplies a mind-boggling array of hop-up parts that includes aluminum versions of almost all of the plastic parts on the Savage. You could easily spend a couple hundred more on these upgrades.
The decision to brand the Savage X 4.6 as a RTR vehicle suggests that any RC newbie can buy one and get it running with few hassles. For the most part, the Savage delivers on this criterion, however there were instances where my previous experience in nitro RC got me out of a bind. For instance, there were times when starting the beast required a little manual intervention. The starter system is the easiest I've seen from an external starter, however it did not effectively prime the engine for a first start from empty fuel lines. No matter how many times I applied the starter there was not enough pressure in the fuel line to properly prime the carb. I ended up having to siphon fuel manually in order to fill the fuel line to the carb. It would help to have a primer pump or bulb, which you can pick up aftermarket.
Once the Savage X 4.6 is tuned, it is a beast. The pickup has a little lag which is a characteristic of nitro RC, but once it gets going it wails and generally tears it up. Durability is one aspect of RC cars that can make or break your experience. On that front, the Savage is a clear winner. It took some serious bashing without any apparent damage. You can take jumps with abandon, and even cartwheel the truck wheel over wheel. The body will get dinged up, but the workings of the car are beefy enough that it handled everything I threw at it with aplomb.
Check out the numerous YouTube videos of the Savage X 4.6 to get an idea of how this RC Monster Truck performs. While you're at it, scope out the competition such as the Associated MGT and the Team Losi LST2.
The HPI Savage X 4.6 is an excellent RTR nitro Monster Truck. Careful consideration has obviously been made in the design of the Savage, resulting in a vehicle that can take you from being an RC novice, to spending a couple more bills on the plethora of upgrade parts that are available. You'll have a ton of fun along the way, with minimal downtime due to the nearly bulletproof construction of the Savage.

UTSA architecture students explore architecture for community health
By James Benavides
Public Affairs Specialist
(Nov. 29, 2007)--Five UTSA Architecture students recently had an opportunity to design a community healthcare facility in a span of 48-hours. The challenge was part of the 2007 Healthcare Design Conference held in Dallas and co-sponsored by the American Institute of Architects Academy of Architecture for Health and the Center for Health Design.
"The design of healthcare and healthy environments will take on greater importance in the next couple of decades due to an aging population and increasing stresses on our natural and built environments," said Gayle Nicoll, UTSA associate professor of architecture.
Nicoll, who is developing a UTSA certificate program in healthcare and wellness design, served as an advisor to UTSA's five-person team including seniors Lucia Terrazas and Dean Wiederstein and graduate students Samira Ahmadi, Rebekah Negrete and Miguel Saldaa.
The conference's Student Design Charrette, sponsored by the AIA Academy of Architecture for Health and the STERIS Corporation, a medical supplier who funded the College of Architecture team with a $5,000 grant, created an opportunity for the students to conceptualize a clinical setting that impacted the health of individuals, the community and the ecosystem.
There was no ranking or reward in the process. Rather than spur competition, the AIA academy and STERIS intended to stimulate creative inquiry, innovative ideas and interaction between students, faculty and design professionals.
In their overview of the design charrette, The AIA academy and STERIS acknowledged that in order to advance the broader healthcare needs of the community, healthcare architecture must rise above the old concept of a medical clinic. To gain perspective on innovations in architecture for healthcare, the students visited the new Parkland Health and Hospital Systems Community Clinic in Irving and toured the offices of experienced healthcare design firm RTKL Architects in downtown Dallas.
Implementing their new knowledge and experience, the UTSA team designed a campus that combined the features of a primary care facility with community health promotion capabilities including a nature trail for fitness needs and staging areas for community health functions such as vaccination drives or disaster relief efforts.
"The UTSA students developed an appealing conceptual design for a facility that integrated two important but often disconnected aspects of a healthy environment," said Nicoll, "access to community-level healthcare and health promotion facilities."

Deeplinks Blog posts about Transparency
Note: The updated datasets are now located on our California Database Catalogs hub. As of Oct. 4, 2016, the spreadsheets on this page will no longer be updated.
A team of over 40 transparency activists aimed their browsers at California this past weekend, collecting more than 400 database catalogs from local government agencies, as required under a new state law. Together, participants in the California Database Hunt shined light on thousands upon thousands of government record systems.
Across the country, civilian journalists have documented government violence using cell phones to record police activities, forcing a much-needed national discourse. But in case after case after case after case, the people who face penalties in the wake of police violence are the courageous and quick-witted residents who use technology to enable transparency.
A new federal government policy will result in the government releasing more of the software that it creates under free and open source software licenses. That's great news, but doesn't go far enough in its goals or in enabling public oversight.
A few months ago, we wrote about a proposed White House policy regarding how the government handles source code written by or for government agencies. The White House Office of Management and Budget (OMB) has now officially enacted the policy with a few changes. While the new policy is a step forward for government transparency and open access, a few of the changes in it are flat-out baffling.
Imagine if local governments were like restaurants, where you could pick up a menu of public datasets, read the names and description, then order whatever suits your open data appetite?
This transparency advocate's fantasy became reality in California on July 1, when a new law took effect. S.B. 272 added a section to the California Public Records Act that requires local agencies (except school districts) to publish inventories of "enterprise systems" on their websites. We are talking about catalogs of every database that holds information on the public or serves as a primary source of government data.
And we need your help on Saturday, Aug. 27 to—as the saying goes—catch 'em all.
Despite strong opposition in Congress and from the grassroots, the FBI is still pushing to expand its National Security Letter (NSL) authority. The proposed amendments would allow the FBI to serve companies with NSLs and obtain a wide range of Internet records, known as Electronic Communication Transactional Records (ECTRs), including browsing history.

In one of the most famous images from the 19th century, Richard Owen - "Father of the Moa" - was photographed in 1879 in the British Museum beside a towering moa skeleton. He holds a piece of moa femur, recovered from Glenmark swamp in Canterbury and which he was given in 1839.
If the moa could be said to have a true day of discovery, at least in terms of European science and international attention, then that date is January 19, 1843, when Professor Richard Owen opened the first of two boxes of gigantic bird bones collected by the missionaries William Colenso and William Williams from various rivers on the wild east coast of New Zealand.
Owen must have been quivering with anticipation - there was a lot on the line after all, chiefly his credibility as the true successor to Baron Cuvier as the world's greatest comparative anatomist.
He had spent three years waiting for more evidence of his 1839 claims that New Zealand was once home to the largest bird known to science and now, here before him in a large and heavy crate, was the evidence that could cement his scientific reputation.
The historic first shipment was ritually opened in the Hunterian Museum's Hall of Giants in the presence of William Broderip, another keen fossil enthusiast and member of the Royal Society. It was indeed a collection of huge bird bones, including the enormous tibia, almost three feet long (91cm), he had mentioned in his letter. Not only did Owen finally have the evidence that would totally validate his theories, the giant bird from New Zealand would surpass all estimates and expectations.
As Broderip later excitedly recalled in the Quarterly Review (1852): "That whitest day will ever be remembered. As each bone of the feathered giant was taken out it was impossible to repress exclamations; but when the enormous tibia came within our grasp, it was flourished aloft with a shout of wonder and joy that made the Museum ring again. Fortunately we wore no wig ... or it certainly would have been hurled upwards, where it would have ornamented one of the many antlers which overhung us."
The shipment included several huge and intact femur bones. Broderip later wrote:
"We well remember seeing this fragment of the shaft of a femur when it first arrived, and hearing the opinion of the Professor as to the bird to which it must have belonged. He took, in our presence, a piece of paper and drew the outline of what he conceived to be the complete bone. The fragment, from which alone he deduced his conclusions, was six inches [15cm] in length and five inches and a half in its smallest circumference; both extremities had been broken off. When a perfect bone arrived, it fitted exactly the outline which he had drawn."
It was soon evident that although Owen had been almost supernaturally correct in extrapolating the feathered monster from just one small piece of bone, the creature was much larger than he had ever suspected. His initial estimate of its height had put the bird at about 2m slightly taller than an ostrich.
When the enormous tibia was matched with an equally robust upper leg bone, the length of leg alone of this mammoth bird was some 1.6m - about the average height of a human at that time.
The crate of bones was accompanied by a letter from Williams, in which he detailed their origin and what information he had gleaned from the East Coast Maori:
"Poverty Bay, New Zealand, Feb. 28th, 1842.
"Dear Sir, - It is about three years ago, on paying a visit to this coast, south of the East Cape, that the Natives told me of some extraordinary monster which they said was in existence in an inaccessible cavern on the side of a hill near the river Wairoa; and they showed me at the same time some fragments of bone taken out of the beds of rivers, which they said belonged to this creature, to which they gave the name of Moa."
Conspicuously failing to mention that Colenso was also present at the time, Williams explained that when he had established his permanent mission station at Turanga a year later he had again heard stories of the moa but had considered the whole thing a myth or "idle fable", since no Maori in living memory had actually seen one with their own eyes. Still, he offered a large reward to anyone who could catch him a moa or bring proof of its existence. It was a long time coming but, at length, a large fragment of bone was brought from a nearby streambed and just two months before the date of the letter he had been provided with another bone, although it was small and broken. However, the reward Williams paid to its bearer proved to be a sound investment - as word quickly spread that the Pakeha holy man was paying for old bones, large numbers of enterprising local Maori combed the riverbanks for bounty. Williams was also able to supply small nuggets of information and speculation about the moa:
"1st. None of these bones have been found on dry land, but are all of them from the bed and banks of freshwater rivers, buried only a little distance in the mud; the largest number are from a small stream in Poverty Bay, Wairoa, and at many inconsiderable streams, and all these streams are in immediate connexion with hills of some altitude.
"2nd. This bird was in existence here at no very distant time, though not in the memory of any of the inhabitants, for the bones are found in the beds of the present streams, and do not appear to have been brought into their present situation by the action of any sudden rush of waters.
"3rd. That they existed in considerable numbers. I have received perfect and imperfect bones of 30 different birds.
"4th. It may be inferred that this bird was long-lived, and that it was many years before it attained full size.
"5th. the greatest height of the bird was probably not less than 14 or 16 feet. The leg-bones now sent give the height of 6ft from the root of the tail."
Five days after their arrival Owen triumphantly displayed the moa bones before the Zoological Society, completely vindicating his daring and controversial prediction of November 1839 and creating a scientific sensation. The professor now had enough remains to give the monstrous creature an official scientific name - Megalornis novaezealandiae, meaning the huge bird of New Zealand. However, he was soon informed that Megalornis was already in use for another species, and by the time his lecture was officially published in the Transactions in 1843, Owen had chosen another name, one that shared an origin with the newly christened group of extinct giant reptiles he and Gideon Mantell were currently feuding over - the dinosaurs.
Reusing the Greek "deinos" and adding "ornis", referring to the bird order, the monster was rechristened Dinornis novaezealandiae - the great, terrible, or surprising bird of New Zealand, depending on your interpretation of Ancient Greek.
Based on just the crudest crumb of evidence, Owen had correctly deduced the existence of the largest bird ever known to man - a feat of scientific intuition that astonished the world and catapulted him into the limelight. In one bold and brilliant stroke he had validated an entire theoretical framework for understanding the physical structure of animals - comparative anatomy - and confirmed his own reputation as Cuvier's heir. Owen's feat of reconstructing such a huge creature from a small piece of bone seemed to both public and fellow scientists as, "an arcane exhibition of his craft".
The confirmed existence of a bird able to peer in second-storey windows tickled the fancy of the Victorian public, increasingly tuned to the wonders and oddities of the extinct world thanks to the public exhibition of the mammoth and the dinosaurs. The story spread beyond London's elite scientific societies and into the mainstream media.
Tale of a legend
A book that weaves poems about science and ordinary life, a study of the moa and an account of science in the Antarctic are the three finalists for the Royal Society of New Zealand 2013 Science Book Prize.
The three shortlisted titles are Graft by Helen Heath, Science on Ice: Discovering the Secrets of Antarctica by Veronika Meduna and Moa: The Life and Death of New Zealand's Legendary Bird, by Quinn Berentson.
The prize is awarded every two years and aims to encourage the writing, publishing and reading of good and accessible popular science books. The winner will be announced at the Writers and Readers Festival in Auckland next month. This extract is from Berentson's book, Moa.

Edison's 1903 Princeton football film now online
Posted October 17, 2003; 10:55 a.m.
A century after Thomas Edison filmed an early Princeton vs. Yale football game, footage now is available online on TigerNet, the Web site of the Alumni Council.
The roughly four-minute clip from the game, filmed at Yale on Nov. 14, 1903, was made available by the Library of Congress. Princeton won the game, 11-6.
This year's Princeton vs. Yale game is set for 1 p.m. Saturday, Nov. 15, at Princeton Stadium.

Deeplinks Blog posts about NSA Spying
The story being spun by the defenders of Section 215 of the Patriot Act and the Obama Administration is that if the law sunsets entirely, the government will lose critical surveillance capabilities. The fearmongering includes President Obama, who said: "heaven forbid we've got a problem where we could've prevented a terrorist attack or could've apprehended someone who was engaged in dangerous activity but we didn't do so."
So how real is this concern? Not very. Section 215 is only one of a number of largely overlapping surveillance authorities, and the loss of the current version of the law will leave the government with a range of tools that is still incredibly powerful.
We've made it clear that, while we're not opposing it, USA Freedom just doesn't go far enough for us to continue supporting it. We've noted some of our concerns—including the increase in the maximum sentence for material support for terrorism to 20 years. This provision, introduced at the behest of the intelligence community, deserves more attention.
In 2005, we called for the repeal of Section 805 of the Patriot Act, which broadened the crime of material support to any foreign organization the Secretary of State has designated as a "terrorist organization." Here's what we said about Section 805 of the Patriot Act then:
The discovery last week of another major flaw in TLS was announced, nicknamed "Logjam" by the group of prominent cryptographers who discovered it. It's getting so hard to keep track of these flaws that researchers at INRIA in France created a "zoo" classifying the attacks (which is not yet updated to include Logjam or the FREAK attack discovered in March). Despite the fact that these attacks seem to be announced every few months now, Logjam is a surprising and important finding with broad implications for the Internet. In this post I'll offer a technical primer of the Logjam vulnerability.
Tonight, the US Senate failed to move ahead with the USA Freedom Act, an NSA reform bill that would address phone record surveillance and FISA Court transparency and fairness. It also was unable to muster votes for a temporary reauthorization of Section 215 of the Patriot Act, the section of law used to justify the mass phone records surveillance program. That's good news: if the Senate stalemate continues, the mass surveillance of everyone's phone records will simply expire on June 1.
Section 215 of the Patriot Act has been wrongly interpreted in secret by the government for years. We commend every Senator who voted against reauthorizing the unconstitutional surveillance of millions of law-abiding Americans.
In the wake of tonight's vote, Congress must stop stalling and address the surveillance and secrecy abuses of our government.
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell has made it clear this week that, while the Senate is rapidly approaching recess, the Senate "will stay in [session] until a deal is struck to extend" the Patriot Act. McConnell has also introduced legislation for both long-term and short-term reauthorization of the Patriot Act's expiring provisions. It seems that McConnell is trying to bully the entire Senate into passing short-term reauthorization, giving him more time to further weaken reform efforts.

When I blog about spam campaigns that are spreading malware, the malware is usually being spread through a malicious email attachment. Mostly, the attachment is a ZIP-Archive that contains the Trojan as executable file (file extension .exe). This is an old schema used by many cybercriminals for years but I have to admit that they are still quite successful in infecting new victims. To mitigate such threats, many organisations block or reject any email that contains an executable file (.exe) or an ZIP-Archive with an executable on their email gateway / spam filter. You do so as well? You think you are safe? Unfortunately, I do have some bad news for you.
Today I was quite surprised when I got the following spam email on one of my spamtraps:
To: spamtrap
Subject: =?utf-8?q?Abmahnung f=C3=BCr firstname lastname 04.03.2013?=

One of the things that I noticed immediately is that the email has a clean language which is quite uncommon for such spam campaigns (it is written in German and hence most likely targeting German speaking countries exclusively). Another thing that I noticed is that the email didn't got blocked by the my spamfilter. While looking into it, I noticed that the spam mail had a very low spam score which is based on the fact that the sending IP address isn't blacklisted on any blacklist (DNSBL). I'm not surprised because the sending IP address is actually one of GMX's outbound email gateways:
by spamtrap (X) with ESMTP id X
for spamtrap; Mon, 4 Mar 2013 16:49:03 +0000 (UTC)
For those who don't know GMX: It's a large free email service provider in Germany owned by 1&1. So you shouldn't block their outbound email servers. What the criminals obviously did is using stolen SMTP credentials to send out their spam campaign.
The spam email contains a malicious PDF attachment using the first- and lastname of the recipient (victim):
File size: 9'514 bytes
Virustotal: 1 / 46
The AV detection rate is very poor, only one out of 46 AV vendors currently provides a detection against this threat (Microsoft – Exploit:Win32/CVE-2010-0188). The PDF exploits a well known vulnerability in Adobe Reader that allows remote code execution. The vulnerability was already addressed by Adobe in 2010.
If the Adobe version installed on the victims computer isn't up to date, the malicious PDF will exploit CVE-2010-0188 and downloads the malware itself from seodirect-proxy.com:
Filename: adobe-update.exe
Filesize: 73'728 bytes
Virustotal: 3 / 46
Unfortunately, most AV-vendors fail on this file as well. Only 3 AV-vendors currently provides a detection for it (well done ESET, Kasperksy and Malwarebytes). The file is temporary being stored in the following location:
Afterwards the malware installs itself into a random directory with a random filename in the victims user profile, for example:
C:\Document and Settings\USERNAME\Local Settings\Temp\otnhhyskui.pre (same file as wpbt0.dll)
Once the victims computer has been successfully infected, the malware contacts a botnet C&C hosted at zeouk-gt.com:
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
User-Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.0.2914)
Host: zeouk-gt.com
Connection: Keep-Alive
Cache-Control: no-cache
The User-Agent string seems to be hardcoded in the binary and is using an exotic (and I believe no longer used) version of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE 6.0b).
To mitigate this threat, I recommend you to:
- Create an IDS rule that spots the user-agent used by this malware
- Patch Adobe Reader
- Block the associated malware distribution site / botnet C&C (see list below)
Malicious domain names / IP addresses used or related in this malware campaign (I highly recommend you to block those):

An evening by the lake
Trip Start Nov 28, 2010
121Trip End Sep 29, 2011
When we arrived in Palic, a popular summer getaway on a lake, we weren't able to find Tom's campsites. We drove to the lake to have a look around and stopped in the car park to ask at an information booth about places to stay. On the off chance it might be OK I asked about simply staying the night in the car park, and happily the lady there said she thought it would be fine. So off went the engine and we noticed that we were not only beside a lake but also a large playground. The boys went straight out and spent two hours playing. Beside the car park there was also a nice-looking restaurant, so we decided to eat out for dinner and have a Serbian meal. The boys and I all ate schnitzel so it was an Austrian meal, but cooked by Serbians so that counts. We aren't staying long in Serbia, but stumbling upon this lake made for a nice one-night stay here.

After leaving New Orleans, I was ready for some peace and quiet. On my way out, I passed South of New Orleans to see some of the Cajun country and toured around the town of Houma, Louisiana. It was fairly unremarkable and un-photogenic. The small Bayous are peaceful looking and filled with lots of fisherman hunt'n for those bass critters. Since this is in a flood plane, most of the houses are built on stilts, kind of reminds me of the Sacramento Delta areas.
I overnighted in Houston and spent a couple hours driving around town since I passed it in darkness the first time. The city center is very clean and modern, but things were dead as it was a Sunday. I stumbled upon a memorial to George Bush Sr. and snapped a pic. He was a Texas oil man in his younger days.
I was getting hungry and wanted to have some lunch. I realized I didn't have any cash on hand so I started looking for a bank. Just when I was about to start cursing the Gods for being in a bank desert, I turned around and found the mother of all B of A drive-up ATM centers. Now this is what we need back home, Sweet!
A short way down the road from Houston, is the Texas memorial for the battle of San Jacinto. This is the battle that essentially won the Texas revolution and made it a new country. The battle field is preserved almost in its original state. Like everything in Texas, they do things big. The monument is GIGANTIC! It's the tallest free standing masonary structure in the world.
Houston is situated along the Buffalo Bayou, and is an active sea port. In order to get to the monument, I actually had to take a ferry across the river, cool! Apparently, this has always been a ferry point, even in the old days known as the Lynchburg Ferry.
As an added bonus, across from the monument is another memorial. I didn't realize it but I stumbled upon another battleship! The USS Texas. This is a WW1 era ship that served all the way through WW2.
Well, got to keep heading West. Big Bend is in the far West spur of Texas along the Rio Grande river in the middle of no-where.
More adventures await!

Tularemia is a rare bacterial infection. The effects of the infection will depend on where the exposure occurs. It can be deadly if not treated.
Tularemia is caused by specific bacteria. It is normally found in small animals, such as mice and rabbits. The bacteria can pass to humans through:
- Bites of infected animals, ticks, or deer flies.
- Contact with an infected animal's tissues or contaminated water, food, or soil. Can enter the body through the lungs, eyes, mouth, nose, or skin.
The infection does not pass between people.
Tularemia is a rare bacterial infection. The effects of the infection will depend on where the exposure occurs. It can be deadly if not treated.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. You will be asked about possible sources of exposure. A physical exam will also be done.
Your doctor may look for signs of the infection through:
- Examining body fluids
- Culture of body fluids—to check for bacteria
- Skin test to check for an immune response
- Blood test—to detect antibodies to the bacteria
chest x-ray
may also be done if there are problems with your lungs.
Measures to prevent the disease include:
- Do not handle sick or dead animals.
- Wear gloves, mask, and goggles if skinning or butchering animals.
- Completely cook game meats.
Take precautions if you live in an area with ticks or deer flies:
- Wear protective clothing.
- Use tick repellant.
- Check skin often for ticks.
- Do not touch a tick with your hand.
- Follow precautions when working in a laboratory.
Risk Factors
Factors that increase your risk of tularemia include:
- Hunting, trapping, or butchering infected animals
- Working with infected animals or their tissue
- Working in a laboratory with the bacteria
- Biological terrorism
- Eating meat from an infected animal
- Being bitten by an infected mosquito or tick
Symptoms usually occur 3-5 days after exposure. The symptoms will depend on where the bacteria entered the body, the type and amount of bacteria you were exposed to, and your immune system.
Pneumonic symptoms (lung problems):
- Fever
- Chills
- Fatigue
- Headache
- Body aches
- Sore throat
- Cough
- Burning sensation or pain in chest
Ulceroglandular symptoms (skin and lymph gland problems):
- Raised, red bump that continues to swell
- Raised area opens, drains pus, and forms an ulcer
- May form a dark scab
- Swollen, tender lymph nodes
- Fever
- Chills
Glandular symptoms (problems in lymph nodes):
- Swollen, tender lymph nodes, but not sore
Oculoglandular symptoms (problems in eyes and lymph nodes):
- Sensitivity to light
- Tearing
- Puffy eyelid
- Swelling, redness, and sores in the eye
- Swollen lymph nodes
Oropharyngeal symptoms (mouth and throat problems):
- Irritated membranes in the mouth
- Sore throat
- Ulcers in the throat or on tonsils
- Swollen lymph nodes
Intestinal symptoms:
- Fever
- Abdominal pain
- Diarrhea
- Vomiting
Typhoidal symptoms (full body problems):
- Fever
- Chills
- Headache
- Muscle aches
- Poor appetite
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Abdominal pain
- Cough
Symptoms of progression from other types:
- Swollen lymph nodes
- Difficulty breathing
- Bleeding
- Confusion
- Coma
- Organ failure
- Shock
- Death
Swollen Lymph Nodes Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Antibiotics can treat most tularemia infections. The first few doses of antibiotics will be injected in a muscle or given through a vein. You may need to take antibiotics by mouth for a few days after the initial dose. Treatment can last for 10-14 days. Make sure to take all of your medication even if you feel better.
Tularemia infections are reported to public health officials. This will help them track any outbreaks.
