Kensfish Review
I placed a large order with Kensfish monday this week, well I was getting worried because the tracking number for UPS said it hadn't been picked up yet.
Tried emailing them yesterday and didn't hear back, so called this morning and left a message. About 20 mins later I get called back.
Turns out the package was picked up Tuesday, and something is going on with UPS, rather than telling me to contact UPS like most places would do. Ken is looking into it for me. He told me his rep says something in the box may have been damaged and that would be what is causing the delay...
Ken told me that if for some reason the package is lost, damaged etc he will get me out whatever he needs to right away once we know whats going on.
I was expecting to be pushed aside and must say I was pleasantly surprised by the customer service I received. Hoping, since it was picked up Tuesday that it should be at my house today... But overall between price and the call I just had I'd recommend Kensfish for the online store anytime

Lots of forum members order from him and I've never seen a complaint - good variety, quality & good prices!
I have recently ordered from from Kens for the first time. Being in Canada, a lot of vendors will not go through the extra hassle of properly completing commercial invoices to help ensure the shipment goes through customs OK AND without extra expense to the end consumer. They certainly do get the importance of customer service and I would also recommend them to any Canadian hobbyist.
Very good products as wellIf you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

Compared to my LFS selling Jager heaters at $35 a piece, the $17 I paid wasn't too bad ;)
I ordered 4 sponge filters, 4 extra sponges, 1lb of food, a small net, two 50W heaters, and 30lbs for Seachum Flourite Black sand. Paid $115 which overall was by far the cheapest prices I had found
Ok, time for morals to kick in
Got a call from Kens, UPS was unable to locate the package so he sent me out another one, should come in Monday at the latest... he said if I receive two to just refuse one
But if I receive two will he know, UPS is already being held responsible for the loss... I could theoretically end up with double everything... but I also feel like that could lead to some bad Karma... what do you guys all think.
If they do deliver two do I keep both, or do I refuse the one if given the chance. Or if they just drop both off without me having to sign, do I contact Ken to have the 2nd one shipped back?
Well, I don't believe in Karma, but I do believe in being able to sleep. If they asked you to refuse one of the packages than that is what you should do. If I were asked to refuse one and didn't I would feel guilty and wouldn't be able to sleep. After the outstanding prices and customer service you just received from Ken, shame on you for thinking you might rip him off now.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top...

Everything happens for a reason. Sometimes that reason is you are stupid and make bad decisions.
I think my fish is adjusting well to the four gallon, He's laying on his side attempting to go to sleep on the bottom of the gravel.
Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.
Dear naps, sorry I hated you so much when I was a child... Love me
My main concern is them just dropping the package off not requiring a signature, I am very much leaning towards contacting Ken if I get the extra package to arrange it getting back to him...
I can't be the only person that the thought would be there... guilt is the reason I am wondering if it would affect Kens or if UPS would be held liable. UPS is the only one I'd wanna rip off in this deal, but most likely going to only receive one and make the whole option moot.
Probably the vast majority of people including myself would think to keep the package for a split second, but for myself, that thought would be gone as soon as it came to mind. Right is right and wrong is wrong regardless of circumstances, and it isn't ok to rip off UPS either. If they drop off the package when no one is home all you have to do is call UPS and tell them what happened and they will come back and pick it up, or tell you how to send the package back. It would be different if Ken had said go ahead and keep both if they show up, but he didn't.When I go fishing I just throw sharp rocks in the water and wait for the dead fish to float to the top...

I gotta hope they both come in first, mainly because if only one comes then I know the package was lost. If I receive both I plan to contact Kens to arrange its return, the thought did stick with me for a little bit longer, guess just not as good of a person as I'd like to be. If Ken hadn't been as nice on the phone, or put up an argument then it would have made decision much easier.
Wish I knew he was sending out another package, there were a few more things I wanted to order and figured I could include it with the shipment. Oh well such is life.

- The importance of frequency response

- Limitations to closed-loop bandwidth
|Download this article in .PDF format
This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable.
Frequency response refers to graphing the dynamic response of output from a machine or process with a sine wave as the command input. Test equipment is available for testing a physical system, and analytical techniques and tools exist that allow using a completely theoretical approach. Here, we'll take a brief look at the frequency response method as a test procedure and summarize what the system designer can glean from the procedures and results.
The frequency response test method can be applied to anything, quite literally, if the device can be stimulated with a sinusoidal test signal and its output measured. Frequency response is most often encountered in electrohydraulic motion control in the data that manufacturers publish for servo and proportional valves. In fact, one compelling reason why I advocate servo and proportional valves for control - rather than other kinds of valves — is because so much frequency response data exists for servo and proportional valves, and almost none for other devices. Having this information puts us in a much better position to predict the performance of the system before we build it.
The frequency response test is quite simple and can easily be understood after a few minutes of observing the test. This is in contrast to months of study in a purely academic environment. It is one method for measuring the dynamic response of a component, such as a valve.
Another popular dynamic test procedure is to measure the output response to a step input. The frequency response and step response are related, because they come from the same system. However, the frequency response method is more reliable than the step response, because of the way in which distortion and noise are inherently rejected in the frequency response test when using a frequency response analyzer.
The test, represented in Figure 1, involves applying a controlled-amplitude sinusoidal wave shape to the input that causes the tested device, say — a valve — to cycle back and forth. Meanwhile, the output will cycle, too, at the same frequency. However, the amplitude of the output and command input will not necessarily be the same as the command input. In the case of the valve, input (current) and output (flow rate) aren't even in the same units of measure. Furthermore, output will, in most real physical dynamic processes, undergo a phase lag. That is, the output must necessarily lag behind the input. The test operator records the frequency, output amplitude, and the amount of phase lag between input and output (measured in degrees).
Next, frequency is increased while the input sine wave is maintained at a constant peak-to-peak amplitude. The phase is normally plotted in degrees and the amplitude is given in deciBels (dB) by this equation:
A = 20 log | On÷Ol |, where
A is the amplitude of the valve's frequency response
On is the output at any frequency, and
Ol is the output at the lowest frequency. Thus, we see that the frequency response test data for a servo valve always begins at 0 dB for the lowest frequency of a test.
With higher test frequencies, an attendant higher phase lag normally occurs, and the output amplitude changes. It is normal with any kind of machine that the output amplitude will be less able to keep up with the input amplitude with increasing frequency. That is, there will always be some frequency where the input command is vibrating so fast that the output cannot keep up at all. Therefore, the output amplitude tends to diminish with increased frequency, and the phase lag between input and output tends to increase.
There are exceptions. When resonances exist within the tested system, the output amplitude can increase with frequency over some narrow frequency band or range. Resonances occur when the potential energy stored in a spring or other flexible member is exchanged with the kinetic energy of a moving mass. Resonances occur in the hydraulic system when the kinetic energy of masses interacts with the potential energy stored in the internal compressed fluid.
When resonances occur, they are sometimes revealed as rises in the output amplitude for increasing frequency. That is the case for the servo valve frequency response data shown in Figure 2. At 30 Hz there is about a 0.8-dB rise above the 0-dB reference level. The existence of the resonant rise indicates that there is a tendency for the valve to be slightly springy, and its output will tend to "ring" at approximately that frequency if tested with a step input. The rise indicates that the designers of the valve tuned its response to be under-damped. Most servovalves are tuned to have no resonant rise. However, there are some exceptions. The property of being under-damped is accompanied by a resonant rise. One way to describe this would be, "Under-damped means there are overshoots and resonant rises."
The frequency response graph in Figure 2, typical of many servo valves, at the very least can be used to compare the response of one valve to another. The important "benchmark" frequency for any valve is the frequency at which the phase lag reaches 90°. Note in the referenced valve that frequency is about 50 Hz. It should be obvious that if there is another valve with a 90° phase lag frequency higher than 50 Hz, that valve will respond faster than the one plotted in Figure 2.
The 90° phase lag frequency should always be used when comparing one valve to another. The frequency is called the valve frequency, valve frequency response, or the valve bandwidth. All terms are more or less synonymous. In any event, this frequency is useful in predicting how well the valve response matches the required performance of the application system into which it will be placed. Some designers use the 3-dB roll-off frequency; however, as a benchmark for comparison, it is unreliable. It also has no value in assessing how well the valve will perform with the rest of the componentry in the final system. The most important feature of the 90° phase lag frequency is that it allows us to compare the valve frequency to the hydromechanical resonant frequency, which is the resonance that occurs because of fluid compressibility (hydraulic capacitance, or compliance) interacting with the load mass at the actuator.

Constitution Day lecture focuses on Jefferson
Posted September 10, 2008; 03:03 p.m.
Princeton historian Barbara Oberg, general editor of "The Papers of Thomas Jefferson," will deliver a Constitution Day lecture on "Thomas Jefferson and the Rights of Citizens" at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17, in Dodds Auditorium, Robertson Hall.
The talk will focus on Jefferson's personal and political struggle during his first term as president to define the rights of "bonafide citizens." Oberg, a lecturer with the rank of professor in history, leads the Princeton-sponsored effort to prepare the authoritative and comprehensive edition of Jefferson's correspondence and papers.
The event also will feature comments from Christina Burnett, a Princeton alumna and associate professor of law at Columbia University; Stephen Macedo, Princeton's Laurance S. Rockefeller Professor of Politics and the University Center for Human Values and director of the center; and Sean Wilentz, Princeton's Sidney and Ruth Lapidus Professor in the American Revolutionary Era.
The lecture is sponsored by the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions, the Program in Law and Public Affairs, the Office of the Provost and the Program in American Studies.
According to a 2004 federal law, educational institutions that receive federal funds are required to hold programs about the U.S. Constitution on the anniversary of the document's signing, Sept. 17, or in the preceding or following week. A copy of the Constitution and further information regarding its creation are available on the National Archives website.

Unless we say the President is dumb, he must be nuts.
We have now found that North America is not the only place where there are untapped deposits of gas and oil that dwarf what we thought existed. So, if the US doesn't produce it, somebody else will. Further, the developing countries of India and China are going to burn whatever carbon they can lay their hands on.
It has to be another lie that he said his energy policy would be "all of the above" ... as he's doing a great job of keeping the lid on carbon-based energy.The part of the pipeline that is already under construction (that didn't need State Dept. approval), has already generated 4,000 jobs, according to this article.The president, in an interview Saturday with the New York Times, repeated his position that the administrations decision will be based on whether or not this is going to significantly contribute to carbon in our atmosphere.(As far as I can recall Congress did not pass any law that predicated energy production based on carbon emissions into the atmosphere. Did I miss something?)
However, he also took a swipe at what he described as the Republicans argument that Keystone would be a big jobs generator.
There is no evidence that that's true, Obama said, arguing the best estimate is 2,000 initial construction jobs followed by no more than an additional 100 jobs. The newspaper's transcript of the interview showed Obama chuckling as he made the point.
That is a blip relative to the need, he said. (So, is there something else he has in mind to create some jobs? So far nothing has materialized.)
His estimate is significantly lower than his own State Departments projection of 42,000 constructions jobs and way smaller than the 118,935 that project developer TransCanada expects.

By Tiernan Ray
Qualcomm (QCOM) this afternoon held a press conference to discuss a number of new chips unveiled at the Mobile World Congress.
Dr. Murthy Renduchintala, co-president of the company's chipset division, QCT, led the presentation.
The main chip in the bag is the company's "Gobi 9×35" modem chip for LTE wireless transmission, which is the company's first chip offered in a 20-nanometer process technology. The new part supports the faster "Cat6" networking standard for speeds of up to 300 million bits per second on the downlink. A version of the chip will be offered for uses in cars as well.
Renduchintala said upward of 8 operators are gearing up to offer so-called "LTE Broadcast," which will provide things such as breaking news feeds and digital magazine downloads and popular live multimedia events, and which makes use of special capabilities that Qualcomm has built into its chips.
He also talked about how Qualcomm has moved deeper into providing the RF radio chips for LTE. That includes the power amplifier and antenna chips that have traditionally been the province of dedicated RF vendors such as RF Micro Devices (RFMD) . (Note: While the press conference was going on, RF Micro and TriQuint Semiconductor (TQNT), another RF chip vendor, were announcing they will merge.)
Renduchintala said the point of all the company's modem announcements is that LTE is moving beyond smartphones to many more devices.
The company will more and more offer its "Snapdragon" brand of application processors across every price segment of mobile phones, from the priciest down to the mass-market, cheapie phones.
He noted improvements in performance in the high-end Snapdragon 801 processor, including 45% better performance than prior versions for the camera sensor and 28% better graphics performance.
The 801, however, has been known for sometime now. More noteworthy was the announcement of two 64-bit chips, the Snapdragon 610 and 615, which use ARM Holdings's (ARMH) "A53" CPU core. The 801 chip, however, is stuck with a 32-bit processor core, Qualcomm's "Krait" design. Renduchintala said Qualcomm would talk later this year about its intentions for Krait.
The 610 and 615 are both composed of two "clusters" of four chips a piece, which Renduchintala said gives the chip more flexibility in how it mixes performance and efficiency aspects of its processing.

1965 Dodge M37 Suspension & Steering - The Dumpster, Part 2Posted in Project Vehicles on June 1, 2010 Comment (0)
The Dumpster is my '65 Dodge M37 project truck named after its ugly looks and treasure trove of goodies hidden inside. Showing how to swap in a complete drivetrain and build a suspension no matter what vehicle you start with is the goal of this truck. I'm sure many of you won't be building M37s, but many of the steps apply to your own custom wheeler. In the end I should have a great riding on- and off-road machine that can drive cross-country or across the countryside while keeping the ugly old truck patina it earned over the past 45 years.
In our March issue I started the front link suspension and followed up on the GMC 6.0L truck V-8 engine we're installing at Pacific Fabrication in Morgan Hill, California (see this story online in the Project Trucks section of 4wheeloffroad.com). This month I'll go into further detail of getting the front suspension and steering to fit whether the suspension is at full droop, ride height, articulated, or completely compressed after coming off a too-much-throttle/not-enough-brains jump.
Come back in a few months when I'll show you more of our geartrain, which should stuff plenty of options (and shifters) within reach of the driver's seat, and how to correctly install rear leaf springs.

WOMPAT Reviews
The Workshop on OpenMP Applications and Tools (WOMPAT2002) was held at ARSC last week. Thanks to Tom Logan and Jim Long for submitting their notes:
# # Tom Logan's review: #
The WOMPAT2002 workshop was attended by many OpenMP experts and experienced programmers. As such, the discussions about the current state of OpenMP and the future of OpenMP were lively and informative. The workshop was organized as 1 day of tutorials and 2 days of presentations and discussions.
Tutorial 1:
Dual-Level Parallelism Using MPI and OpenMP Thomas Oppe and Carrie Mahood ERDC
This was an informative session that covered issues in using MPI and OpenMP in the same programs. It also included discussions on parallel architectures, parallel programming strategies, processes and threads, an introduction to OpenMP, a Laplace equation example, several OpenMP case studies, and MLP (a multi-level parallelism package developed out of NASA Ames). The tutorial ended with a set of general guidelines for dual-level parallel programming.
Overall this session contained a lot of information - it would be a good introduction for someone just learning about OpenMP and combined OpenMP/MPI programs that effectively take advantage of modern distributed shared memory systems (DSMs).
Tutorial 2:
Advanced OpenMP Programming Tim Mattson & Sanjiv Shah Intel
The second tutorial was more of an "in the trenches" how to program with OpenMP kind of a session. It was obvious that Tim and Sanjiv are very experienced with OpenMP (they should be - they helped write the language specs and implement the compilers). Here are some notes that I took:
- OpenMP 2.0 standard is finished (the C/C++ 2.0 standard has been released, but not implemented as of yet)
- New 2.0 construct is "copyprivate" - this acts like a broadcast of a value to a private variable
The abstract OpenMP machine includes
- Multiple PE's
- Shared Flat Address Space
- Lightweight processes
The reality of machines is
- NUMA architectures are NOT flat
- Cache hierarchies are NOT flat
- The best way to use OpenMP is to NOT use the clauses. Instead declare any private variables inside of the the parallel section (in C/C++) or to make a subroutine (in Fortran)
- Most of the time threads that are released from a parallel region are kept in a "thread pool." One of the issues with implementing OpenMP is deciding what these threads do when not working (e.g. spin wait, go to sleep, or spin for a while and then go to sleep). It was suggested that rather than leave this to the OpenMP implementor, controls should be incorporated into the OpenMP specification using environment variables.
The tutorial briefly covered different aspects of the OpenMP language, current implementations, and OpenMP optimizations. Here are some high-level tidbits:
- Scheduling - use static scheduling unless load balancing is a real issue. If it is, you should use static with chunk specified; using the dynamic or guided schedule types requires too much overhead.
- Synchronization - Just don't use them if at all possible, particularly 'flush'
Common Problems with OpenMP programs
- Too fine grain parallelism
- Overly synchronized
- Load Imbalance
- True Sharing (ping-ponging in cache)
- False Sharing (again a cache problem)
Tuning Keys
- Know your application
- Only use the parallel do/for statements
- Everything else in the language only slows you down, but they are necessary evils.
Some example overheads (in clock cycles)
Thread Id 10-50 Static Do/For 100-200 barrier 200-500 Dynamic Do/For 1000-2000 Ordered statement 5000-10000
- Use a profiler on your code whenever possible. This will point out bottle necks and other problems.
- Common correctness issues are race conditions and deadlocks.
- Remember that reduction clauses need a barrier - so make sure not to use the 'nowait' clause when a reduction is being computed.
- Don't use locks if at all possible! If you have to use them, make sure that you unset them!
- If you think you have a race condition, run the loops backwards and see if you get the same result. (I think this is a pretty cool idea).
Over the following two days of the workshop, 11 papers were presented and many discussion sessions were held.
Rather than give details of the papers, I will defer readers of this review to the forthcoming publication (watch the cOMPunity web site: http://www.compunity.org/ .)
The discussions included topics such as how to teach OpenMP, status and future of implementations, a cOMPunity status report (the OpenMP user group), and what is next for OpenMP.
As for the main points that I took away from the conference:
- OpenMP is DEFINITELY the simplest parallel programming language that I have ever seen.
- OpenMP can be rather effective for small-scale parallelism. For 4 to 16 processor parallelism, it gets decent performance and can not be beat for ease of programming.
- OpenMP is not very useful for large-scale parallelism. It is difficult to get good parallel efficiency for any significant number of processors.
- The fact that OpenMP is designed for a "flat address space" that doesn't really exist in modern computer systems is probably the biggest drawback to true scalable parallel performance.
# # Some notes from Jim Long: #
When to use OpenMP under MPI?
- When there is not enough memory on a node for all processors to host an MPI process, there is usually enough memory left for those unused processors to run OpenMP threads.
- When using vendor supplied libraries that spawn threads.
- When a larger number of MPI processes would put unacceptable stress on I/O and/or file systems, i.e., the optimal number of MPI processes are allocated and there are cpus left over that could run threads.

p690 Cache
Here are cache sizes for IBM's p690 processor in the Regatta compute server:
128kb per CPU or 64kb per processor. (2 processors per chip or CPU) 4 CPU's per MCM (multi-chip module), 4 MCM's in a 32 processor system. This gives a total of 64x2x4x4 = 2048kb's total. But the number that is important is the 128kb per processor pair, or 64kb per processor.
1.41mb per chip or 1.41mb shared between the two processors. The big thing here is that this is shared space.
128mb of L3 cache consisting of four modules each of which contains 2x 16mb Merged logic DRAM. So each CPU or 2 processors shares 32mb of L3 cache. So, each MCM has 128mb of L3 cache available to it. A 4 MCM system would have a total of 512mb of L3 cache.
For (much) more on the p690, see:
http://commerce.www.ibm.com/content/home/shop_ShopIBM/en_US/eServer/pSeries/high_end/690.html(The cache details are probably there somewhere... but I sure couldn't find them.)
Thanks to Rich Hickey for help with this.

I tried this: [[ [[ $ vi file1 # start editing file1 [[ 22j # move to desired text [[ y10y # yank next 10 lines [[ :n file2 # open file2 [[ p # attempt to put the 10 lines [[ [[ It just beeps at me. This is such an obvious operation, there [[ must be a way... Ideas? # # Thanks to Paul Mercer, Derek Bastille, Kate Hedstrom, and Rich # Griswold. There was general agreement on two solutions: # First Solution (from Kate's message): ------------------------------------- You are trying to use the default unnamed buffer. You have to use one of the 26 named buffers: % vi file1 file2 # edit two files 22j # jump 22 lines "a10yy # yank ten lines into buffer a :n # next file "ap # put buffer a I like to use the named buffers for something like adding #ifdef lines, where buffer "a" gets the #ifdef, buffer "b" gets the #else, and buffer "c" gets the #endif. Using more than three or four gets a bit unwieldy, but there are 26, named "a" to "z". Second Solution: ---------------- Use vim, which supports pasting the unnamed buffer across files, exactly as described in the question. Q: I thought OpenMP was supposed to be easy! It won't even compile. What's wrong??? Here's the relevant loop, printed with line numbers, followed by the error message: +32 #pragma omp for reduction(+:overallsum) +33 for (n = 0; n != ARRSZ; n++) { +34 overallsum += array[n] ; +35 } +36 ibmsp$ xlc_r -qsmp=omp -o openmp_tester openmp_tester.c "openmp_tester.c", line 33.17: 1506-818 (S) Controlling expression of the for loop is not in the canonical form.

Steven Yang was 12 when he began to focus on landscapes — literally. Inspired by his father's photography books, he picked up a camera and began snapping photos of nature in his native Hawaii. He used a Nikon EM, a single-lens reflex camera dating to the 1980s that was given to his mother by his father as a wedding gift.
Years later, working now as a professional photographer for Purdue Marketing and Media while he completes his studies, Steven is still using the lens that came with his first camera. You could say he's hard at work channeling his family love of photography and making history while he makes news.

This fantastic French onion soup made using two types of cheese, French bread and beef bullions is an all time favorite dinner idea.
Rich onion soup made with beef broth and topped with melted cheese is a traditional after-theater late-night snack in French bistros.
Gratinée is a French cooking term referring to a topping of cheese, or bread crumbs and butter, that is browned in the oven or under the broiler until crispy. The crispy surface is considered the best part, and shallow ovenproof dishes made especially for gratins allow for a generous amount of the topping.
For a richer flavor, substitute 1/2 cup dry white wine or sherry for 1/2 cup of the broth.
To save preparation time, use a food processor to slice the onions for this soup.

Communiversity set for April 24
Posted April 14, 2004; 11:05 p.m.
The Communiversity celebration, which annually brings the town and University together for a day of performances, food, games and more, is planned for noon to 5 p.m. Saturday, April 24.
Scheduled to take place rain or shine on Nassau and Witherspoon streets and the campus, the event is sponsored by students at the University and the Arts Council of Princeton. Merchants, nonprofit organizations, musicians, performing and visual artists and food vendors will turn the area into a colorful fairground with events for students and families alike. (For some facts and figures on the event, see "By the numbers" on page 2.)
Traditional favorites on four stages will include Flamenco Puro, Sympoh and Naacho . Children's activities -- face painting and interactive science demonstrations -- will take place on Alexander Beach, and student booths will be set up in front of Nassau Hall. The athletics department will offer a variety of sports games and demonstrations put on by student athletes on Cannon Green. Arch sings in the Blair and East Pyne arches will feature Princetons a cappella groups.
An addition this year will be tours of the campus by the student-led Orange Key guide service. They will leave from in front of Nassau Hall throughout the festival.
The University's International Center will continue its tradition of participation with an elaborate flag procession beginning at 2 p.m. on the Nassau Street stage and ending on campus. Each flag will represent a Princeton student's home country. The center also will provide international foods and sponsor performances, including the popular Chinese lion dance.
In addition to the children's activities on Alexander Beach, there will be interactive story-telling by the Middle Earth Theater as well as other activities sponsored by the Cotsen Children's Library.
For more information, contact the Arts Council at (609) 924-8777 or the University's Office of Community and State Affairs at (609) 258-3204.

I just went on a SW run and discovered a Wal-Mart with over a DOZEN R2-Q5's!
This Wal-Mart hasn't gotten any new SW figs since I moved out here 6 months ago. I guess most collectors stopped checking for new stuff, because all the other Wal-Mart got the Lando wave and sold out of R2 immediatly.

They've narrowed it down to three. Three sites that is for UMKC to build a new downtown arts campus that would include room for its Conservatory of Music and Dance, but also space for its theater and other arts programs. This was one of the Big 5 Ideas advocated by the Greater Kansas City Chamber of Commerce last fall.
Even though the UMKC Conservatory has been a part of Kansas City's cultural life for over one hundred years, many of us still know little about this hidden jewel, working hard to raise its profile both here and across the country. In fact, our story starts on a March night in New York City.
What would a UMKC Downtown arts campus mean culturally and economically to this city?
You can join UMKC and top civic and arts leaders in a panel discussion at the downtown library on Wednesday, September 5 at 6:30 pm.

With his Croatian heritage, Peter Vitasovich says he was destined to be either a winemaker or a fisherman.
After spending his childhood working after school and at weekends for family in both industries, it was the lure of the sea that won in the end.
At 15 Vitasovich chucked in school and began his education in fish trading at the Auckland fish market, selling seafood to the public from a caravan parked on Great North Rd in West Auckland.
Looking back on it more than three decades later, the 50-year-old Vitasovich says the tight-knit community at the market was hard to break into as a shy youngster with just a small fish shop to supply.
"Of course I was a little kid down at the fish market," Vitasovich says.
"I couldn't get any fish in those days so that's when I purchased a little truck and started driving to communities like Coromandel, Thames and Whangarei."
Within a year or two he was buying up more fish off the boats than could be sold out of his caravan, so he was back at the market selling the surplus.
The business grew into a couple more retail outlets, then an export processing factory down at the wharf, before building a mussel and fish processing plant in Manukau.
By his late 20s Vitasovich became involved in his first mussel farm, buying a going concern off Great Barrier Island, which good friends on the island managed for him.
Again he says getting into mussels came down to his Croatian roots.
"By nature we love growing things so I had a passion for the mussel industry."
It saw him divest the fishing business in the mid-90s and focus on mussels.
It's a capital intensive business requiring big investment in water space and infrastructure to establish and run the farms.
Today his mussel business, Greenshell New Zealand, farms mainly around the Coromandel Peninsula, with operations in the Firth of Thames, Coromandel, Port Charles and Kennedy Bay.
The mussel spat come from Kaitaia and the trademarked Greenshell mussels grown by New Zealand mussel farmers are unique to local waters. Greenshell New Zealand grows around 10,000 tonnes of mussels each year, with 95 per cent of it going to Australia, North America and Asia.
But like farming on the land, farming the sea garden brings its challenges.
"Over the years we've had some good times and some real bad times," he says. "Bad times have been from pure environmental growing seasons which any primary producer will get.
"Even some bad investments, but I think the GFC [global financial crisis] was probably one of the biggest hurdles that we've faced and that's probably when I decided to change what we were doing and go from a mussel farming company to a food company.
"I recognised that I didn't just want to be a farmer and we were growing a fantastic product, we were growing it in a sustainable manner and it's bloody good to eat and it's good for you.
"So for me, with the GFC, I wanted to change from just being a normal supplier to the food service.
"We wanted to create a brand and create a convenient gourmet product with mussels. We wanted to lift the bar." Vitasovich says it has been a huge investment in time and money to convert the company.
More than two years of research and development has resulted in packaging to sell live mussels in a retail-ready modified atmosphere pack with a 10-day shelf life, and an easy-steam range in chef-designed sauces sold under the Ikana brand.
A purpose-built factory operates in Tauranga creating the Ikana chilled and frozen products.
Ikana mussels have been in the market for around four months, nationwide in Australia through Woolworths and in supermarkets in New Zealand.
As well as getting traction in retail stores, Vitasovich says, Ikana is being picked up by restaurants, including The Depot and The Grill.
More products are planned and Vitasovich says the goal is to be a large food company by 2020. It's a bright start to the year for Vitasovich after a 2012 he'd probably rather forget.
A joint venture in a Tauranga-based mussel processing plant, opened in 2009, ended in the company, North Island Mussel Processors, being placed into receivership late last year.
Vitasovich says despite a lot of effort the venture didn't work and the parties involved were unable to decide on a way forward.
A settlement was agreed which saw fishing giants Sanford and Sealord take over the operation.
Vitasovich says he is grateful for the support from his staff who have stuck by him during the tough times.
"When you believe in something and you've got a vision and a plan and your plan doesn't go according to plan you've just got to get it back on the track and drive it."

Somehow, I found this three-year-old Coding Horror article about the FizBuzz programming test; it's a very simple programming problem, yet it turned out that a majority of the people applying for a programming job were not able to solve it.
Also interesting is that many people in the comments-section still got subtly wrong solutions – by not carefully reading the requirements.
I suppose many of the job-applicants who could not solve FizBuzz still got jobs in that field, somewhere. What does that mean? Would they just be very slow, that is, could they still solve it after many iterations, debugging and what not? Or is there a sufficiently large segment of programming jobs that put such limited emphasis on algorithms that they can get away with it?

Serves 4
This salad is best in spring, when tiny, new potatoes and baby artichokes and beets are available at the market. It comes together quickly if you prepare some of the ingredients ahead of time. When roasting the potatoes, you can add a handful of garlic cloves and/or herbs if you like, such as thyme or savory. In place of the seared tuna, try large flakes of tuna confit or slow-roasted salmon.
Heat the oven to 350º F. Put the beets in a single layer in a baking dish. Add water to come about 1/2 inch up the side of the dish. Cover with foil and
roast until the beets can be pierced with a sharp knife, about 45 minutes. When cool, peel and cut them into 1/2-inch wedges, and toss with 1 Tbs. of the vinegar and salt to taste; let sit for 10 to 15 minutes.
Fill a large bowl with cold water. Squeeze the juice of the lemon halves into it. Trim off the top quarter of the artichokes and snap off the tough outer leaves. Using a small, sharp knife, peel the stem and the base of the artichokes, then cut them in half and scoop out the choke with a spoon. As you finish trimming each artichoke, drop it into the bowl of water and lemon juice to prevent browning.
Just before cooking, drain the artichokes well. Warm a medium skillet over medium heat. Add 1⁄4 cup olive oil, the artichokes, wine, 1⁄2 cup water, the thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Season with salt and simmer, uncovered and stirring occasionally, until the artichokes are tender when pierced at the base with a small, sharp knife, 10 to 15 minutes, depending on the size of the artichokes. If the liquid evaporates before the artichokes are tender, add a splash more water. Let cool at room temperature and then taste for salt.
Put the potatoes in a shallow baking dish or pan just large enough to hold them in a single layer. Drizzle with 1 Tbs. oil, season with a generous amount of salt, and toss well. Add a splash of water (just enough to create a little steam as the potatoes cook). Cover tightly with aluminumfoil and bake until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a small, sharp knife, 30 to 40 minutes, depending on the size of the potatoes. Remove from the oven, vent the foil, and let cool at room temperature.
To make the vinaigrette, combine the garlic, mustard, 1-1/2 Tbs. vinegar, and 1 Tbs. lemon juice in a small bowl. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes. Whisk in the egg yolk, and then slowly whisk in 3⁄4 cup oil. Thin the vinaigrette with a few drops of cool water if necessary (you want it thin enough to drizzle nicely.) Taste and adjust with more salt or vinegar if necessary. Set aside.
Shortly before serving, halve or quarter the potatoes (depending on size and preference) and season with about 1-1⁄2 Tbs. of the vinaigrette. Set aside.
Season the tuna on both sides with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Warm a large skillet, preferably cast iron, over high heat until very hot. Add 3 Tbs. oil and place the tuna in the skillet. Cook, without moving, until seared and nicely browned, about 2 to 3 minutes, depending on the thickness of the tuna. Turn and cook on the opposite side for another 2 to 3 minutes. (The tuna should be pink in the center.) Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Drain any liquid from the artichokes and discard the thyme. Cut the eggs into quarters and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Scatter about half of the arugula around a large platter or individual plates. Tuck the potatoes, artichokes, beets, and eggs in and around the greens. Using your hands, break the tuna into rustic pieces, or slice it with a knife and nestle it in and around the other ingredients. Drizzle about 1⁄4 cup vinaigrette over the platter, or about a Tbs. over individual portions, and serve immediately, passing the remaining vinaigrette at the table.
You can cook the new potatoes, artichokes, beets, and eggs up to a day in advance and refrigerate, but wait to make the vinaigrette shortly before serving. If you refrigerate any element, be sure to let it come to room temperature before finishing the salad.

National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) gives $200,000 to Professor Ian Frazer to develop a novel DNA vaccine for HPV
Singapore: Professor Ian Frazer and his team at the University of Queensland, have been awarded grant from Australia's National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) of $200,000 for the next two years to support the ongoing development of a novel DNA vaccine for the prevention and treatment of human papilloma virus (HPV). The next-generation HPV vaccine is being developed by Professor Frazer's company Coridon, of which Allied Healthcare is a major shareholder.
"We welcome this contribution from the NHMRC which recognizes the important work being undertaken by Professor Frazer and his team at the University of Queensland," said Allied Healthcare Group MD, Mr Lee Rodne.
"This novel HPV vaccine promises to be another major step forward in efforts to reduce the global burden of HPV-related disease, and the fight against cervical cancer."
HPV is one-of-the-most common sexually transmitted diseases in the world and is the causing virus in approximately five percent of all cancer cases worldwide, particularly cervical cancer in women. Earlier work by Professor Frazer led to the development of the two currently available prophylactic vaccines, Gardasil and Cervarix, which are highly effective at stopping the infection in women that have not yet been exposed to HPV from contracting the sexually transmitted infection.
Pre-clinical results show the novel HPV vaccine successfully induces an immune response that can protect mice from developing cancer tumours associated with HPV infection. A commercially available therapeutic HPV vaccine that would stop uninfected women from contracting HPV and also provide a therapeutic benefit to those already infected will have immense benefits to cervical cancer sufferers globally. The commercial market for such a vaccine, if successful, is assessed at over $1.3 billion per annum, as it would be used to treat women with persistent cervical HPV infection.

I'm thinking of adding subtitles in a couple AMVs in the future, and I figured I'd ask now in the hopes that it would speed up production.
I've heard of Aegisub, but know nothing about it.
My questions are:
- Is Aegisub the answer to my problems?
If it's not, what would I use and how would I use it to incorporate subtitles in my AMV?
Will the program given in the second question, Aegisub or otherwise, be usable with Premiere Pro 2.0 and the applications bunched together in the AMVApp?

Street Art
Greece is the Word
Oh to be young and cool, not to mention talented, and not to mention live in Greece. Stamatis Laskos, or Siveone, is exactly that.
Sive attended the Athens School of Fine Arts where he studied painting. He now works as a freelancer painting on everything from small canvases to giant walls.
His work is refreshing, street art with a fine art twist. The exaggerated shadows, depth, subject matter and overall composition show his skill level.
You can see a lot of his work on his myspace page, yes, myspace. You can also take a look over at Behance Network.

"PHA's history is driven by a commitment to succeed beyond our numbers. It is the continuing story of what patients, family members and medical professionals are able to do to change the history of a disease." – Rino Aldrighetti, PHA's president and first staff member
From simple beginnings – four women who met around a kitchen table in Florida in 1991 – the Pulmonary Hypertension Association (PHA) has evolved into an international community of over 16,000 pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients, caregivers, family members and healthcare professionals. While we have grown, PHA has stayed true to our roots and the vision and ingenuity of our founders.
To commemorate our 25th anniversary in 2016, PHA honors these Periwinkle Pioneers: 25 individuals and groups responsible for advancing care for PH patients and helping to change the history of this disease.
Read more about PHA's history below, including stories from our founders.

10.2: Roles in an Ecosystem
What roles do coral reef organisms have?
Corals are not rocks or plants, but little animals that live in a carbonate shell they create. They have a symbiotic relationship with zooxanthellae, tiny photosynthesizing organisms. The zooxanthellae provide food for the coral and the coral provides a safe home for the zooxanthellae. Together they form the base of a complex ecosystem.
Roles in Ecosystems
There are many different types of ecosystems. Climate conditions determine which ecosystems are found in a particular location. A biome encompasses all of the ecosystems that have similar climate and organisms.
Different organisms live in different types of ecosystems because they are adapted to different conditions. Lizards thrive in deserts, but no reptiles are found in any polar ecosystems. Amphibians can't live too far from the water. Large animals generally do better in cold climates than in hot climates.
Despite this, every ecosystem has the same general roles that living creatures fill. It's just the organisms that fill those niches that are different. For example, every ecosystem must have some organisms that produce food in the form of chemical energy. These organisms are primarily algae in the oceans, plants on land, and bacteria at hydrothermal vents.
Producers and Consumers
The organisms that produce food are extremely important in every ecosystem. Organisms that produce their own food are called producers. There are two ways of producing food energy:
- Photosynthesis: plants on land, phytoplankton in the surface ocean, and some other organisms.
- Chemosynthesis: bacteria at hydrothermal vents.
Organisms that use the food energy that was created by producers are named consumers. There are many types of consumers:
- Herbivores eat producers directly. These animals break down the plant structures to get the materials and energy they need.
- Carnivores eat animals; they can eat herbivores or other carnivores.
- Omnivores eat plants and animals as well as fungi, bacteria, and organisms from the other kingdoms.
A llama grazes on a terrace near Machu Picchu, Peru
Feeding Relationships
There are many types of feeding relationships (Figure below) between organisms. A predator is an animal that kills and eats another animal, known as its prey. Scavengers are animals, such as vultures and hyenas, that eat organisms that are already dead. Decomposers break apart dead organisms or the waste material of living organisms, returning the nutrients to the ecosystem.
(a) Predator and prey; (b) Scavengers; (c) Bacteria and fungi, acting as decomposers.
Relationships Between Species
Species have different types of relationships with each other. Competition occurs between species that try to use the same resources. When there is too much competition, one species may move or adapt so that it uses slightly different resources. It may live at the tops of trees and eat leaves that are somewhat higher on bushes, for example. If the competition does not end, one species will die out. Each niche can only be inhabited by one species.
Some relationships between species are beneficial to at least one of the two interacting species. These relationships are known as symbiosis and there are three types:
- In mutualism, the relationship benefits both species. Most plant-pollinator relationships are mutually beneficial. What does each get from the relationship?
- In commensalism, one organism benefits and the other is not harmed.
- In parasitism, the parasite species benefits and the host is harmed. Parasites do not usually kill their hosts because a dead host is no longer useful to the parasite. Humans host parasites, such as the flatworms that cause schistosomiasis.
Choose which type of relationship is described by each of the images and captions below (Figure below).
(a) The pollinator gets food; the plant's pollen gets caught in the bird's feathers so it is spread to far away flowers. (b) The barnacles receive protection and get to move to new locations; the whale is not harmed. (c) These tiny mites are parasitic and consume the insect called a harvestman.
- Herbivores eat plants, carnivores eat meat, and omnivores eat both.
- Predators are animals that eat a prey animal. Scavengers eat organisms that are already dead. Decomposers break down dead plants and animals into component parts, including nutrients.
- Relationships between species can be one of competition or one of symbiosis, in which one or both species benefits. Mutualism, commensalism, and parasitism are the three types of symbiotic relationships.
Use this resource to answer the questions that follow.
1. What is competition?
2. What is predation?
3. What is symbiosis?
4. How do stable communities develop?
5. What is succession?
6. What is a niche?
7. What does a niche include?
8. What causes competition?
1. Compare and contrast the two different ways of producing food energy, photosynthesis and chemosynthesis.
2. After a producer produces food energy, follow its path until it ends up being used by another producer.
3. What kind of symbiotic relationship do zooxanthellae and corals have?

He shoots a bantam weight 20 ga and has killed 3 doves and on the opening of youth season here in louisiana managed to take his first incoming teal, spoonbill and gadwall. Between he and a friend they managed to take 7 ducks that day. It couldnt have been better, and now there are two more youngsters hooked on hunting and running dogs. As you see the look on his face tells it all.

|>> Archive: Salmon & Steelhead Flies Spey flies to mixed wings, new innovations
|Topic Review (Newest First)
|For the cotter keys I have use, I have used wire cutter to cut a portion of the short piece of the key off by perhaps 3/8 of an inch, then I use needle nose pliers to fold the long piece back , forming a loop end in the process, Thus, it is a waddington shank except the front does not bend up at the tie in point, like a salmon hook would. I guess you could do that but I have not on the ones I have made, but I have thopught about tying in a small swivel on the fron t of these flies, ? Anybody done that? Also, I am using heavy backing for the loop for the hook, and I am tying it in along the cotter key shank, and locking it dwon so it goes through the back loop of the cotter key..thus if it bust loose elsewhere you have a safety hook of sorts(for what ever it is worth)...the thread-through the back eye with the leader, mentioned above, is perhaps a better approach. The weights available are quite interesting nd there is no question you can use some keys that are interesting casting as they can be heavy heavy if you get aggressive on the size of the cotter key..but they will get DOWN.
NC, made a call to one of the folks who
uses cotter keys. His answer is that (1) you're right, if you don't get the thing clamped down tight in the vise jaws (he uses very large jaws for this) you're in trouble from the get go. He also uses very heavy thread (kevlar?) so he can cinch down and keep the key 'closed.'
To attach the hook he runs the leader through the opening of the cotter key (apparently he will bend up the "eye" on lighter ones), leader through this, down the side of the fly, through a short section of soft plastic tubing (same stuff you'd use for fish tanks), attach hook and slide tube/leader/hook on to the straight end of the cotter key.
Jimmie noted the hair pin idea of his above. I've seen what he's looking at doing and it appears to be a very cool idea. Looking forward to seeing some of these 'converted' to flys.
Women's hair pins
also make a good substitute for Waddington shanks. They are probably available in many colors but only one size and weight. And boy are they cheap! $1.00 for a pack of 75.
|nevada caster
cotter keys
To use them as Waddingtons, do you put a bend on the other end to hold the hook?
To fish them as tube flies, how do you keep them open. I find that as I progress through the tying that I ofen compress the key, which loosens all of the previous wraps and the fly falls apart.
Know a coupe of other folks who use cotter keys rather ..
than Waddingtons. For them, initially, it was a cost/avaliability thing. They've come to a similar conclusion given all the choices in size, wt. etc. And if you fish them like a tube fly they go on the leader quite nicely.
cotter keys substitute for waddington shanks
I have been tying a little bit with waddington shanks purchased from JAck. As I ran out of the purchsed shanks, I visited a hardware store and looked at the cotter key selection, bought a few in various sizes and weights, took the pliers to them, and lo and behold, I have an incredible array of sizes and weights of semi-waddington shanks, or sons of waddington, or something akin to a waddington shank. Anyway, just a thought in case you run out of real waddingtons...

Slowly but surely, Rachel McAdams has become the face of our favorite romantic movies. When Rachel appears in a rom-com, you know that it's a movie with smart writing, few cliches, and an enduring love story. Most importantly, it will be well acted.
In her new movie The Vow, Rachel plays Paige, a newlywed who gets in a car accident that robs her of the last five years of her life. As she shrinks away from friends and a life she can't remember, her husband Leo (Channing Tatum) struggles to make her fall in love with him again.
Add that to stories of wedding crashers, body switching, and time travelers, and you've got a sizable oeuvre of McAdams romance dramas.

Kennedy to read from 'Sellout'
Posted February 27, 2008; 10:30 p.m.
Legal scholar and University Trustee Randall Kennedy will read from his new book, "Sellout: The Politics of Racial Betrayal," at 4:30 p.m. Thursday, March 6, in the Chancellor Green Rotunda.
Following his controversial bestseller, "Nigger: The Strange Career of a Troublesome Word," Kennedy grapples in his new book with another stigma of America's racial discourse. Kennedy explores how usage of the term "sellout" bedevils blacks and whites, while revealing the effects it has on individuals and on society as a whole.
Kennedy's book "Race, Crime and the Law" won the 1998 Robert F. Kennedy Book Award for works that best represent the slain politician's commitment to justice.
Kennedy, a 1977 Princeton graduate, is the Michael R. Klein Professor of Law at Harvard University. He is serving his second term as a Princeton trustee and is a member of the advisory council of the Center for African American Studies, which is sponsoring the reading.
