This all goes back to the strength of conference and the caliber of teams one must face each week within conference, IMO.
Yea, but, competitiveness will drop off some when/if a bigger playoff schedule is incorporated.
KNOWING you can lose a game or 3 maybe, will indeed take some of the heat away from games
such as Oregon vs Stanford, Bama vs LSU etc etc.
Sort of like the NFL when you lose games to another Division.
So what, it makes no difference when it comes to the play-offs, well sort of.
College football is THIS fiercely competitive b/c you have to play your best every single Saturday,
or face the consequences....Chicken Bowl.
Ok let me change the subject. How do you guys feel about all the Bowl games now. Chicken Bowl would be an upgrade over many of these games that seem to start at the beginning of December. There are so many obscure bowls named after a myriad of sponsors pitting almost any team with a .500 record against somebody else equally bad. Watching post season college football used to be special, now even the Orange, Peach, Cotton and Rose Bowl have cheap sponsor names attached. Ok rant over...
Condolences to y'all 'Who fans (and all SEC fans) on the passing of Joe Dean - the LSU AD who brought Saban south. Joe's probably best remembered as a basketball announcer for his mellifluous call of "Straaang music!" when the ball swished the net. There was one game in particular when he almost went hoarse from saying it, when Pistol Pete went off for 69 points in Tuscaloosa in 1970 (47 of 'em in the second half) against the Tide to set a D1 single-game scoring record that stood for some 20 years. Final was 'Bama 106, the 'Who 104.
"All those things bother me: The populism, the lying and the scapegoating and the xenophobia bother me, but then theres a layer of incompetence here. I suppose, in a way, we should be thankful: If he had a coherent ideology, hed probably be more dangerous." P J O'Rourke
wife: i love you so much honey, why do you duck hunt so much?
college football fan: i love college football, why do the polls never pick us?
wife: you love those dogs more than you love me and the kids!
college football fan: those voters love the sec more than they love us!
wife: don't you think you need to be more sensitive to the needs of others around you?
college football fan: don't you feel this system isn't sensitive to the style of play and quality of teams in our region?
wife: if you don't change......i'm leaving!
college football fan: if they don't put a playoff in place......i'm leaving!
wife: i love it......but i gotta change it!

In this place, most people speak more than one language. Almost no one owns a car, even the millionaires. Many people don't even knowsomeone who owns a car. There's no Wal-Mart, no Target, no Home Depot.[...]There's also a deep ethic of civic-mindedness. Average citizens are not just aware of, but actively engaged in efforts such as city planning and zoning laws and the design and preservation of public spaces. Architecture is valued and protected by well-organized, well-financed groups, often consisting of canny partnerships between public, private, and corporate concerns. New urbanism is an understood goal, not just a theoretical ideal.
Anil Dash: Whence the Name.
Not exactly Los Angeles ... :-) While we do have an amazing mix of cultures, backgrounds and identities and even neighborhoods where you can walk to your basic amenities, civic-mindedness and good architecture is relatively sparse here.
But hey, the weather always comes to the rescue. New York: Cloudy and 12 degrees celsius. Los Angeles: Fair and 20 degrees celcuis. (Looking out the window I can't see a single white spot on the sky...)
Like Brian Dear I started getting enormous amounts of junk mail after sending a bit of money to the ACLU. No, they don't have even an opt-out button in their donation process. My little brain can barely contain the irony of the ACLU selling my postal address and justifying by saying that they are going to somewhere in their terms. Did I mention that the other organizations are even know from where they are getting the addresses? Not that I mind anyone knowing that I've given money to that particular cause, but come on... I was giving money to the ACLU to help them make that sort of thing happen less frequently, not the other way around. Naturally I wasn't planning to make that mistake again.
Reading this story makes me consider giving them a second chance if they eventually add a "please preserve my privacy and don't sell my address" button...
Marcus McLaurin was waiting in line to go to recess on November 11 at Ernest Gallet Elementary School when a classmate asked him about his mother and father. He responded that he didn't have a mother and father; instead he has two mothers. When the other child asked why, Marcus told him that it was because his mother is gay. The other child then asked what that meant, and Marcus explained, "Gay is when a girl likes another girl."Upon hearing this, Marcus's teacher scolded him in front of his classmates, telling him that "gay" is a bad word and he should never say it at school, then sent him to the principal's office instead of letting him go to recess. The following week the school required Marcus to attend a special behavioral clinic at 6:45 in the morning, where he was forced to repeatedly write "I will never use the word 'gay' in school again."

I was going to write something about how surprising it is that so many people grow up being intolerant morons with this kind of education, but I'll save your time for another day and go and collect my jaw from the floor instead.
(via Dave Cross, from whom I also stole the title of this entry)
I've played with my GPRS connection for a few days now. It really doesn't work very well at all, at least not here in Los Angeles or with my phone or with my usage. And yes, the phone is reporting decent coverage when GPRS doesn't quite work. Sometimes ssh works alright (with the ~1 second lag), but sadly it's not very consistent. Packet loss has occasionally been 20-30%, enough to combined with Other Factors make ssh not able to even initiate a connection.
So what about non-interactive connections? Web sometimes sorta almost works. Trying to sync my mail from the IMAP server (using Mail.app) takes Forever, and even then it'll only get the headers from a dozen new mails and not actually the mail content.
I might give it another try or two, but if it doesn't get much better then I'm definitely not keeping the service.
A comparison with AT&T edge makes it look like that might be marginally better. Reading another review doesn't exactly make me run out to try it. A third review makes it sound not quite as sucky. Oh, and the PC Card you need is Windows only so far, so it might as well not exist as far as I'm concerned. :-) And unlimited usage is $80/month. That's almost as much as I pay for DSL; not so attractive.
GSM World has more information than you ever wanted about GPRS and related technologies.
In unrelated news there's another Steve Jobs interview in Rolling Stone where he among other things talk about how the music industry works (and doesn't work). No making fun of Michael Dell dancing though...
Some recent retail therapy ...
Nick Cave: No More Shall We Part Daniel Lanois: Shine Kruder & Dorfmeister: Conversions Once Were Warriors Arvo Pärt: Te Deum Underworld: A Hundred Days Off Microsoft: Age of Mythology (Mac) Future 3: Like... Kenneth Koch: One Train Capucon & Capucon: Duos for Violin and Cello
The Daniel Lanois CD is really growing on me. I just got Underworld and Nick Cave yesterday, but I think they'll both get steady rotation in iTunes as well. The rest I haven't really had a chance to listen to yet. (Or to watch the movie, play the game or read the book).
Oh, I also got sufficiently tired of the miserable transfer speeds of 802.11b to buy a 802.11g access point (a Linksys WRT54G). But I haven't unpacked it yet ...
Speakeasy were supposed to upgrade my DSL to 1.5/768 (from half the outgoing speed) yesterday. Same monthly price, apparently they are just improving their service level. Very cool. It was down for a few minutes today but it's still running at the old speed. I should try resetting the modem/router gadget.
I got T-Mobile to enable GPRS ("T-Mobile Internet") on my phone the other day. It works alright with the t68i and the PowerBook. I used Ross Barkman's "modem scripts". With the right script with the magic "use GPRS" commands I just had to choose the correct "CID" and enter "internet2.voicestream.com" as the phone number. I also setup a "Data account" on the phone; I'm not sure I actually needed to do that.
A few odd things:
- The T68i (or OS X) can't figure out to have both AddressBook.app and the PPP connection connected to the phone at the same time.
- I get a 10.x IP address, having a public address would be slightly more convenient.
- The latency is about a billion years. Alright, that's not true but it's around or more than a second. Not fun for interactive connections (understatement meaning: that really fucking sucks).
- I haven't tested the transfer speed, but it seems better than normal GSM data (9600). I was mostly going to use it for interactive connections I don't really mind whatever it is.
I can't figure out if I could use the $10 "T-Zones" service rather than their "Internet" service which is more. I only need web access and ssh. Can they really tell if you use the phone as a modem rather than just use data from the phone? That was what the customer service person told me.
Mark Fowler is doing a Perl Advent Calendar again this year.
Each day he picks out a useful or interesting module that you likely haven't heard about. Very fun and useful.
If you are impatient and want to open the rest of the doors, then you can go back and play with the calendars from 2000, 2001 or 2002.
<The 5th Wave-2003.12.01 - Why can't you just bring your iPod like everyone else?>
(from Robert)
New York Times Magazine had an interesting article about Apple and the iPod a few days ago, The Guts of a New Machine.
I didn't expect much when I resorted to asking, in so many words, whether he thinks consciously about innovation.
''No,'' [Steve Jobs] said, peevishly. ''We consciously think about making great products. We don't think, 'Let's be innovative!''' He waved his hands for effect. '''Let's take a class! Here are the five rules of innovation, let's put them up all over the company!'''
Well, I said defensively, there are people who do just that.
''Of course they do.'' I felt his annoyance shift elsewhere. ''And it's like . . . somebody who's not cool trying to be cool. It's painful to watch. You know what I mean?'' He looked at me for a while, and I started to think he was trying to tell me something. Then he said, ''It's like . . . watching Michael Dell try to dance.'' The P.R. minder guffawed. ''Painful,'' Jobs summarized.
Lots of things happened in my life in the last ~2 months. But they've all been either too personal to post here or too insignificant relatively to the important things for me to want to take time to write them. I considered writing about the more personal things, but I decided against it. I think I might be about ready to pick up the stream of nonessential random tidbits again though... We'll see. The December issues of Linux Journal includes a review of my smtp daemon in the "At the Forge" column. Reuven Lerner entirely gets it when he focuses most of the review on how easy it is to write plugins for qpsmtpd and how flexible that system is, that's exactly the point and by far the best reason to use qpsmtpd.I was able to write a new, working plugin within a few hours of downloading qpsmtpd, despite the lack of good documentation, and I'm sure that many other readers will have similar experiences. The fact that qpsmtpd is written in Perl means you have fast, easy access to everything that a usual Perl program would, as well as any CPAN modules that could make development easier.I have been using qpsmtpd for about a month, and the amount of spam in my mailbox has declined rather impressively, even from the low amount that SpamAssassin was letting through. If you run your own machine, I strongly encourage you to look at qpsmtpd. It is an excellent example of how to write software to take arbitrary plugins, and as a bonus, you will receive only the mail that you should receive.I haven't taken time to tar up a new release since June, or even kept up with all the ideas and new plugins posted on the mailing list (mail email@example.com to subscribe). However Matt Sergeant has been making lots of improvements and applying patches. I'm very grateful for that; without him development would look entirely stagnated in the last months. I started work on qpsmtpd a bit over two years ago just to have an easily hackable smtp server to use at perl.org. The first version was more or less just colobus changed to speak smtp instead of nntp. After using that for a while I got it built out to have an Apache like API system for writing modules, or plugins as I call them. That made it surprisingly easy even for people who had never done perl work before to hack up useful enhancements or test new spam fighting ideas. It's very amusing, interesting and satisfying to see a community grow and thrive around something you've built.

Talk set on pension reform, Dec. 13
Posted December 6, 2006; 02:29 p.m.
The former head of Chile's much-studied pension system will speak at 4:30 p.m. Wednesday, Dec. 13, in 16 Robertson Hall.
Guillermo Larrain Rios, superintendent of pension funds for the government of Chile from 2003 to 2006, will discuss "Challenges of Funded Pension Schemes in Chile and Latin America."
In 1981 Chile replaced its government-run pay-as-you-go retirement system with an investment-based private system of individual retirement accounts. Several other Latin American countries have followed its example. The system is one of the most studied and debated free-market experiments in the world. President Bush has cited it as a model for his efforts to restructure Social Security.
Larrain currently is chief executive officer of South Cone Innovación Financiera and a consultant to the World Bank, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, and the government of Armenia. In addition, he is a professor of macroeconomics at the University of Chile.
The lecture is sponsored by the Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs.

Great Feature
Posted 13 January 2011 - 10:18 PM
Open your photo. Go to Window>Arrange>New Window for IMG. Then go to Window>Arrange>Tile. Your image and a duplicate are side by side, and you can zoom in on one, do detail work and see how it will look in the normal sized view, plus it's great for keeping things "natural." I really like this feature, since it's hard to tell how the print size might look without constantly zooming in and out.
Hope it will help some of you and I am not just the last to know this- LOL!

LOL Dot, that is SO true! Any clothes I need I purchase at consignment, Goodwill (yes really I find fabulous stuff there all the time:) and I buy my fav jeans on Ebay whenever I wear a hole in the old pair(s). That's what keeps me going in scrap supplies. Plus who has time for clothes shopping when there is scrapping to be done!?
Ohhh, I hope it will work for you! You'll love it! OR, an upgrade is a must- LOL! (I don't spend $$ on clothes, but I do like my software!)

I tried this Dot and managed to get Window>Images>New Window. However, when I tried Window>Images>Tile, it's grayed out and can't be used. I used PSE9.
Carol, I tried this in PSE7 and it has a slightly different way to get there, but I think the PSE8 and PSE9 owners said it was similar to the PS method, so I don't want to confuse the issue and hope one of them will come along....
So, your picture or LO is open, and you use Window>Images>New Window but then in the next step tile is grayed out. I just tried that, and tile was available but cascade was grayed out....so, similar situation. I had a lot of layout/windows open, so I closed all the extras and left just the two LOs I wanted to work on with this technique. Then I tried again, but cascade was still unavailable. So, I tried "float in windows." They floated, and then when I went back to Window, both tile AND cascade (in fact, all options) were now available. Go figure! Don't know why it worked, but hopefully it will work for you, too- LOL!

Worked like a charm in PSE8 (Mac). Thanks Dot. Now to get some more RAM to help with the speed on my LT with 2 large files open at once. That's a whole other issue.
Glad to hear it!
RAM, there's nothing like it, is there? LOL at the things which make us happy!
Do you close down unnecessary background processes? On my old laptop, when things got sluggish I would go into the task manager and shut off anything I wasn't using and the computer didn't need to run. A common offender to really slow things down was Adobe Reader. If I wasn't using it, I would close it. I could always just reopen anything I closed by clicking on the program throught Start>All Programs. Another thing I ALWAYS closed was Windows Automatic Update. Nothing like having the computer restart in the middle of a layout! It will reload the next time the computer is started anyway (unless you have it set up otherwise.)

I am sure that daVinci would have been fascinated by this feature, but Michelangelo Buonarroti would have been puzzled to see daVinci working on the Sistine ceiling...

They had other action figure lines, Lego, etc. Don't know if it's temporary or not, but it sure was surprising.

By David Wheeler/Special to the Journal
Four-year schools are making the headlines, but are not the only ones in the trenches, trying to capture football players for their rosters.
Staff with the Northeast Tigers and Itawamba Indians are among the Mississippi ranks of junior colleges that are just as busy trying to lock up that certain position player with the Wednesday signing day approaching.
"I think recruiting has been a little different for us," Northeast head coach Ricky Smither said. "It is the second year of an open state.
"But for us at Northeast, with the new fieldhouse, and our facilities upgrade, I feel like we've had some success. But I don't want to count our chickens before signing day."
The Tigers are coming off a 3-6 effort, with a 2-4 mark in North Division play.
But for Northeast football, there is a little extra pep in the step these days with construction expected to begin within weeks on a new fieldhouse at the north end zone of the current football facility. And that project is currently slated for completion before the start of the 2013 season.
"I can't explain the impact it's going to have," Smither said. "I think it speaks volumes on what's going to happen here at Northeast."
While freshmen dominated decisions for the 2012 season, there are the usual position holes every junior college faces each recruiting calendar.
"I think the offensive line is one of our main targets," Smither said. And I think we need to find some running backs.
"On the defensive side, the loss of Lavon Hooks (DT, Ole Miss) left us with a pretty good gap. We have seven linemen coming back, but we lost our whole linebacking corp."
The ever-present two-year cycle of junior college sports weighs no less on Itawamba head coach Jon Williams, whose Indians are coming off a 6-3 2012, including a 4-2 North record.
"It's junior college, and you have needs at every position," Williams said. "Offensively, we lost some production at receiver, and we lost two Division I linemen. Defensively, we were decimated by graduation.
"I think we have gotten a great response from within our former district, and outside of it. We're looking for a very solid class, the next days are the biggest of the recruiting season."

Michael Jackson may be dead, but his career is booming. Ubisoft revealed today that since its release last November, Michael Jackson: The Experience has sold 3 million copies around the world on the Nintendo DS, Wii, and PSP alone. The game is scheduled to be released for the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 next week.
"We're delighted with the sales success of Michael Jackson The Experience to date," said Ubisoft's UK marketing director Murray Pannell told MCV (via Gamasutra). The game has performed exceedingly well in the U.K., selling 319,000 units in the country.
Michael Jackson: The Experience is a dancing game in the same vein as Dance Dance Revolution or Just Dance. The game came loaded with a number of popular Michael Jackson songs and a special edition sold with a white sequined glove, much like the one Jackson often wore during a portion of his career.
For those craving still more MJ, a feature-length film based on Thriller is in development. A new studio album called Michael is also available.

Fantastic French onion soup is made even heartier with beef stew meat. Start the soup in the morning and come home to a no-fuss dinner.
For best results, don't double this recipe. If the onions are packed too deeply in the slow cooker, they steam and stay pale and boiled tasting instead of caramelizing. They would eventually caramelize, but not before the beef would become dried out and overcooked.
A fresh tossed salad with a vinaigrette would taste great with this rich soup. Spoil your family with a small fancy French pastry from the bakery for dessert.
If you broil the soup with cheese on top, place the soup bowls on pretty plates to protect fingers and your table from the hot bowls.

K-1 continues with their regional qualifying events this weekend as the K-1 WGP in Vilnius is set to go down on April 27th in Vilnius, Lithuania. The event features a number of Heavyweight and MAX qualifying fights, which will lead into a Qualifying tournament at some point in the near future. The event is headlined by a Superfight featuring Artur Kyshenko against Marcus Powell of the UK and features a pretty decent card, top-to-bottom.
For those that are interested in watching the show, it will be streamed on MMABushido.tv for 7.99 euros -- or about $10.40 USD -- Saturday afternoon. We'll have more on this event as it comes closer as well as results after the fights have gone down.

If your name were King Bishop, you'd know how to play chess, right? That's what Josh Whaley, who owns Ruski's, figured. But King Bishop, a sous chef at Street & Company who used to rent an apartment from Whaley, had never really played chess, despite his name. Somehow, that was beside the point. For months Whaley discussed challenging Bishop to a chess match with one significant wrinkle: each time one of them lost a piece, they had to do a shot. Of course, this was less of a chess match than a drinking game, but Whaley thought booze would even the odds. After all, his opponent's name was King friggin' Bishop.
After much negotiation and delay, the game happened. A board was set up. Shot glasses procured. There were even spectators, mostly friends of Bishop's from Street & Company. Bishop wanted to drink Dr. McGillicuddy's, mint schnapps with a lower proof than most liquor, but Whaley overruled him in favor of Jim Beam. Before the game began I asked if they would be playing with the en passant rule, but neither had even heard of it. Then I remembered this wasn't really a chess match. Duh!
Bishop had the white pieces, so he moved first. What ensued was not pretty. Bishop was clearly superior, and while both men lost pieces (and drank) developing the game, he clearly controlled the board. Soon enough Whaley knew he was beaten. He eventually knocked his king over and picked up his shot glass. The game was finished. Bishop won, consuming at least eight shots in 40 minutes along the way. Whaley, a seasoned drinker who, weighing in at 217, also had more than 50 pounds on his opponent, looked fine, but Bishop's skin was flushing an alarming pink. Since he's a thin little ginger, his pallor matched his hair perfectly. Bishop looked like a lobster that was not quite steamed. His complexion got so red it was like his freckles disappeared. Bishop said he felt fine, but I told him that he was in the meantime, like when you've dropped a hit of acid but it hasn't yet taken hold. Wait a few minutes, I said.
Then, Whaley set the board back up and said, Let's play again. Nobody had mentioned a second game. Bishop seemed inclined. I said, you just did eight shots in 40 minutes and if you do eight more you'll die. You'll be John Bonham. Dylan Thomas. Keith Moon. Did he listen to me? Of course he didn't. He was too drunk.
Bishop was losing minutes into the rematch, but they kept playing, each consuming at least eight more shots. Bishop got so shitfaced that he forgot he was playing the black pieces. He grabbed Whaley's white bishop and moved it diagonally across the board to capture one of Whaley's white rooks. The crowd roared. The game was over. Bishop was done. He seemed made of liquid. He couldn't speak, or stand upright without leaning on something.
Whaley, on the other hand, took a brief nap and then went to Mathew's Lounge to cheer on his dart team. What, if anything, was learned from this? Not much, but I was reminded of the advice that the family of Steve Martin's character gives him before he sets off to find his special purpose in the classic film, The Jerk. They said: The Lord loves a working man; never trust whitey; and see a doctor and get rid of it. To that, I think you could add don't get in a drinking contest with Josh Whaley, no matter what your name is.

A3 C14 odometer reading 10519 miles
Rusty 1200Rt odometer reading 31916 miles
The alarm clock went off at 6am, as agreed, but we did not leave till 11:15am. Rusty woke up feeling dizzy and had to go worship the porcelain god a few times. At around 9:30am we went for breakfast, but Rusty could not eat anything, and then we just took a walk around the exterior of the motel (http://motelletransit.com/english/english.htm) so he could get some fresh air. Rusty claims he probably got food poisoning, but I think his body is just telling him that it has had enough and needs a break. Rusty also has not been able to sleep well the last few nights, so I believe he just needs a break
The ride eastward on highway 20 was fantastic. Great weather, little traffic, and nice scenery. But, as soon as we turned southbound the rain came down on us ..... again !!! :o( It rained on us today for the final 5 hours of our ride.
OK folks ... here it comes ................ WE DID IT !!!!! We completed the Four Corners Tour !!!!!
We arrived in Madawaska, Maine (http://www.townofmadawaska.com/), at 5:45pm. We rode 326 miles from Montreal to get there. We again did our obligatory photo shoots (CITGO gas station, a local motel, local USPS, and the Four Corners Memorial Park) and mailed our entry forms. We were really impressed with the Four Corners Memorial Park (http://madawaskafourcorners.org/); it was really nicely done, and for those riders who opted to do so you can purchase a "memory block" with your name engraved in it that gets placed there for all to see. Rusty and I decided we will do so as well.
We had hoped to end our day on the eastern coast of Maine, about an hour from Bangor, where our Aunt Vivienne (my moms sis) is staying, but due to weather and my rear tire issues we were forced to cancel on herhttp://www.bangormotorsports.net/) tomorrow so we will be up at 6am and on the road by 9am. While I am having my bike serviced Rusty is going to ride about an hour further south and have his bike serviced at the nearest BMW shop (http://bmw.streetcycles.com/home_bmw.asp). We will then meet somewhere after both bikes have been serviced and make our way to Southwick, Massechussets, where I will finally get to see my long time friend "Karen". We have not see in each other in years, so I am really excited that I will be seeing her tomorrow. See you soon Karencita !!!! :o)
I forgot to look up the total miles we rode today, but I believe it to be around 430 miles. I will double check tomorrow morning and correct this entry at the next possible moment. In the meantime from when we started our ride (in Miami) till Madawaska, Maine, we rode a grand total of 9438 miles !!! Wow !!!
Roads travelled today:

Well, here I am in Cambridge University, starting a computer science course on Thursday. It's been an exhausting few days, but I'm enjoying it (although I was horrified to hear that I have 9am lectures every day - including Saturday!). I packed too much to fit into my small-ish room, but never mind. (Except I had to lug it all up three floors...)
And the download speeds here are amazing :-) After being stuck on 64 kbit/s ISDN for ages, downloading stuff at speeds approaching 40 Mbit/s is quite a shock to the system!

A roast beef sandwich with barbecue sauce goes together like apple pie topped with ice cream. Enjoy!
Make these family-pleasing sandwiches even more quickly by using 1 cup prepared barbecue sauce for the Zesty Barbecue Sauce and 1 pound thinly sliced roast beef from the deli, cut into strips. Heat the barbecue sauce just to boiling, and stir in the beef.
Use 3 packages (2 1/2 ounces each) sliced cooked chicken, ham, turkey or pastrami, cut into 1-inch strips, for the beef.

It's been about a year since I purchased a Marin Hamilton 29er from The Cycle Shoppe on Queen Street West in Toronto…
…and boy, oh boy, what a year it's been.
I weighed about 30 lbs more back then. I wanted a bicycle to take me around town at night. I wanted a way to get around the city without relying on public transit. What I got was an entire lifestyle shift. What I got was a simple tool that has helped me change my life.
Now, can I place these miraculous events squarely on the shoulders of a bicycle? Certainly not. I say all of this just to prepare you for why I've grown to love this bicycle. The Marin Hamilton 29er may not have the latest in cycling technology and may not be the coolest kid on the block. But the Marin Hamilton 29er is a darn good bike and here's why:
You get big, round wheels. There's just one speed. The simple, sturdy u-brakes and levers work well. There are braze-ons where you need them most (so you can mount racks and fenders). Everything is painted black. And the frame has a proven mountain bike geometry that is at once both aggressive and comfortable. Out of the box this bicycle will take you to work, it will take you along paths and trails and it isn't fussy about spending a few hours locked to a post and ring.
As you can see above, I've added a few accessories to make this bicycle a commuting machine.
First, I added a pair of Planet Bike Cascadia Hybrid fenders purchased at Mountain Equipment Co-op ($29 CAD). The "29er" in the bicycle's name refers to wheel size. In simplest terms, 29ers seem to be 700c only just a little wider. Unfortunately, this made fitting the fenders a little difficult. The Planet Bike Hybrids fit up to a 28 inch wheel, so I had to do a little bending and tweaking to get them to not rub my tires. I also had to flatten a basket clamp in order to mount the front fender as seen below:
In the end, the frustration was worth every second of it. The fenders are made of a resilient plastic and bend and squish when I have to lock the bike up at odd angles. I've ridden through intense downpours and this fenders handle the rain and dirt exceptionally well. They complement the bike in their simple design and overall effectiveness.
Second, I added a rear rack, also from MEC ($15 CAD). Again, simple, sturdy and black. MEC panniers fit on these racks very securely, and a bungee along the top is essential for small bags and other loads.
And third, I replaced the terrible plastic pedals that all lower-end bicycles seem to come with. After getting wet once and with just a few dozen kms on them, the pedals wouldn't spin properly and felt as though they'd been greased with sand. A quick swap, but a shame those stock pedals are such poor quality.
Last year, I wrote a post about my North Toronto commute. Since then, I've moved to a different part of Toronto and started working from home. I did manage to get about 4,000 kms of cycling in on my Hamilton 29er and I continue to add to that number now, although not at 50 km per day as before.
Over those 4,000 km I've crashed once, had 4 flats and replaced the brake pads. That's it. 4,000 km and I've spend under $100 on maintenance and replacement parts. I have had sheltered, year-round bicycle parking, so your costs may be higher if you leave this bicycle out in the rain and snow. But, I'm pretty impressed. I still think of repair costs in terms of my long-gone car. A tick or growl would mean I'd be out $500 at least.
That said, it looks like I'll be replacing the tires on my Marin soon:
A few months back I rotated my tires, Continental TownRide come stock. The rear tire was a little worn and has large gashes every few inches. Toronto streets are mean. I've ridden over glass, scrap metal, broken bricks and anything else that falls from cars and trucks. I'm impressed with the durability of these tires over 4,000 km.
If you're more interested in the very specific technical details and geometry of this bicycle, you can head over to the Marin site. While I've been riding the 2009 Marin Hamilton 29er, the 2010 model is almost identical.
And, if you'd like to give one a try head on over to The Cycle Shoppe at 630a Queen Street West in Toronto.
UPDATE: Since writing this initial post I've made some changes to the Hamilton 29er including the conversion to a Nexus 8-Speed Redline Internal Hub. Read about the upgrade here: Recent Upgrade to Nexus Redline 8-Speed Hub

,-- | [1] ftp://flower.upol.cz/dts/Sed0000/hacks/strip-c.sh `--
Viewing this in the browser window can scare anybody. That's why noone so far read whole links in prev. post. But let's put away the fact, that open source browser doesn't support syntax highlighting of the most basic thing -- shell language and UNIX tools, available for 20-30 years.
,-- | http://kerneltrap.org/Linux/Decoding_Oops `--
Here is the main point of the kernel developmnet: understanding, knowledge, ways of debugging. Starting point is assembly.
Text-processing assembly language is sed. Userspace assembly is shell (mainly POSIX, but not ksh or bash). Both are in very-very upsetting state.
,-- |[3] http://lxr.linux.no/linux/scripts/cleanfile 3492 bytes |[4] http://lxr.linux.no/linux/scripts/cleanpatch 5132 bytes | |I've came up with this one: | |ftp://flower.upol.cz/clean-whitespace/clean-whitespace.sh `--Looking on 1024 bytes of this one, it is clear how syntax highlighting is important in understanding and developing of BRE+sed+shell tools.
So, what is the progress?
First, shell language is very complicated in terms of parsing. I don't know if any academia compliler theory professors have actually looked at this one. Kenneth Almquist, who wrote ash, was from EDU domain, but he have done a practical implementation.
I must edit this post, to say: "What an utter crap!" An Introduction to ANTLR: A parser toolkit for problems large and small
Recursive nesting of subshells in ``,$(), quoting are main features. Even using them is not such trivial thing at all. But i saw trivial scripting isn't that easy for some kernel developers(script in firstname.lastname@example.com).
#!/bin/sh -e
# # usage: mkmsg [branch] [output text file] #
test "$1" && BRANCH=$1 || { echo "Empty BRANCH, exiting."; exit 1; }
if test "$2" then exec >"$2" else : "Print to stdout" fi
# should work much better than 2 fork()s REPO=${PWD##*/}
echo "Please pull from '$BRANCH' branch of master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jgarzik/$REPO.git $BRANCH
to receive the following updates: " git diff -M --stat --summary master..$BRANCH echo git log --no-merges master..$BRANCH | git shortlog git diff master..$BRANCH
So, with this one it is even possible to use script interactively and/or in the pipe chain to mail stdout directly, as addition to better, i.e. efficient, usage of the system and the kernel...
Second. While trying to implement highlighting i've discovered, that kernel doesn't apply background attribute to the tab symbol. I.e. tabs are always black, no matter what background color is there. This led me to more deep understanding of the tty processing, mainly tabstops (theory can be found in UNIX Power Tools).
Problem can be solved by converting tabs to spaces. But knowing, what tabstops are, it's not such trivial thing to do. In clean-whitespace.sh i've used `expand` UNIX tool. Now i wanted to do it in sed.
Andreas Schwab is making very interesting, mostly one-line comments in LKML (i even checked old archives of 90s). Once he pointed out, that i wrongly explained "\{\}" BRE construction. While i knew what it means, i really didn't used them at all. But after that occasion i sat down and did read+exercise. This helped me to do my version of `expand`.
Funny, that this[0] turned to be even more efficient, that one from recognised sed guru Greg Ubben[1].
[0] ftp://flower.upol.cz/dts/Sed0000/hacks/expand.sed.sh
4 ("3 basic" + "1 speed optimization") op-lines, 2 numbers, no loops
[1] http://sed.sourceforge.net/local/scripts/expand.sed.html
6 (5 + 1) op-lines, 2 numbers, loop
@(#)14apr89/31aug01 expand.sed by Greg Ubben
means, that in more than 10 years there was no better solution, heh. Also coloring is a bit broken: openning "\(" and closing "\)" do not match.
I hope, i have no errors there. Checking is left to the reader.
Thus, progress on such basic thing is kind of unexpected. After understanding of achievement, i was depressed. More depression followed, when i've discovered original ash/atty sources.

Alex Lifeson and Geddy Lee of Rush Choose 22 Songs That Inspired Them Most
"FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH" Buffalo Springfield, Buffalo Springfield (1966)
This was the first rock song that had a big influence on me. I remember hearing it on the radio in my dad's car when I was a kid. Buffalo Springfield were unlike the other bands of the 'San Francisco sound'; they were more country sounding. Stephen Stills and Neil Young trade leads on this one.
I like Young's very fast vibrato and edgy, truncated playing style, particularly on his soloing, whereas Stills' sound is sweeter and smoother. This is still one of my all-time favorite songs. In fact, Rush did a version of it on our covers tribute EP, Feedback.

The fish were laughing at me today
I spent today chasing trout & smallmouth around central Mass. It was one of those days that Dorf could have dreamed up.
I started out by the railroad bridge on the Miller's river in Erving. A nice deep pool with a fish occassionally rising splashily to large mayflies. At first I was fishing confidently, and caught a small smallmouth, followed up by a 15" rainbow, the the fun began. After replacing the fly the bow destroyed I looked at my backcast and saw my fly box floating away fifty feet downstream. Leaving the rod on a rock I ran after the box and just as I reached it tripped and went for swim #1. This was an omen of things to come. Enjoying the cooling effect of the water I started fishing again and lost the last of the tan extended body comparaduns that the fish liked on a hookset. After that nothing worked, and I proceeded to chase the rises around the pool until I fell in a second time and decided it was time for lunch.
After lunch I headed over to the Swift river, below route nine. One step into the river and I wished I had put on the neoprenes, rather than wet wading. I waded out to the center and started fishing the edges and got one bite, but suffered from a numb brain among other parts and couldn't set the hook. After I dropped the fly box in the water again I realized that I wasn't going to catch anything while out in the water. I was ready to give up and started to walk back to the car. Along the way I caught a brookie and then spotted one of those nice swift river fish that taunts you by repeatedly coming up and inspecting your fly and saying "Fake". Nothing I did would get this fish to bite. I switched flies from a #18 to a #22 went to 7.5X Fluro carbon, and even tried the opposite and tried a meaty mouthfull of a helegramite and still nothing worked on this fish. Finally I gave up. next time I'll get him.
John Desjardins
I live in West Boylston and have done some fishing on the Swift River. I have experienced the same thing. Was that fish feeding on something so small you could not even see what it was feeding on. This old timer I know calls that the fisherman's curse. ;-)
John, have to rub this in...I had posted this on ffsw yesterday Spent the day out on the Swift yesterday.
What a fantastic day on the Swift today, got there around 9 am, was greeted
with the loud sound of water from the parking lot...WATER RUNNING...YES!
Spent an hour or so messing around with the wild brookies in the bubbler, lotsa
nice little guys released for another day. Y pool had one person in it all
morning, I jumped in and started casting dries, man i'll tell you I ain't never
seen so many fish go to look at a fly, turn away, then turn back and look again
in my life! Finally got a nice 16"er on a size 18 BWO, niiiice fish! Water level
dropped some around noontime. Left the Y pool at 2pm, went down to the
hatchery and I couldn't buy even a bump down there! Went upriver to another
spot that someone-Joe? told me about and pulled a nice 10" wild brookie, 3-4
small wild brookies, 8-10 mini rainbows between 2"-7", and a monster 14" bow
outta that pool. I nearly sh!! when I hooked that last fish as all the other ones
in the pool were all small, and I hadn't expected anything bigger I was
shocked by the amount of fish in that pool! This area was no bigger than
20x15' across.
Today was another 3wt day, perfect size rod for the areas I fished, and some
of these guys on dries were a hoot! I lost the biggest fish of the day to a 8x
tippet break, he was easily a 2lb-15-16" rainbow, that was a bummer but it
was good for a few heart races when he took the fly and did 2 nice tail walks.
No browns hooked today, but saw lotsa big ones!
It was a real pleasant day on the water, temp was 54 deg in the water so
once you got in above your knees it really cooled you down. The entire lower
river was covered in fog this afternoon, at times I had to strain to see the
strike indicator only 20' away. It seemed that the water level came up again
this afternoon so that probably caused the fog. Niiice and cool
Saw the smallest mayfly in my life today too, it landed on my hand as I was
going into the river, size 28, reddish/maroon eyes and grey colored
wings/body-think it was blue wing olive but so small I couldn't tell! Neat! Gotta
try tying one of them
Although it was my first thought, I don't think that going to a small fly was the issue. I got more follows with the size 18, than with the 22 of the same pattern, a blue dun midge with a goose biot body & CDC wing. Switching to a BWO might have kicked the odds in my favor.
I was fishing at Wachusett in West Boyslton last saturday with my son until we got chased off by an afternooon rain. He was in an exploring mood so we covered a lot of ground and found a spot that may be good for smallmouth on the fly. Send me an e-mail if your interested and I'll give you the details.
I saw your post on FFSW and realized how close I had been to success until I went to a smaller size fly. A little dfferent body color was needed. By the time that I got to the Swift, my time on the water was limited and I tempted hypothermia by wet wading. Next time I'll spend a full day and wear the waders. It's surprising how how many people rush by the bubbler stream on the way to the honey hole .
John Desjardins
I like wet wading there too. On a day like yesterday it's welcomed! But last week when it was cooler I spent 7 hours standing in the river and came out shivering and my legs were beet red It's interesting that I musta have smartened alot of fish down by the hatchery, as last week I must have pulled 30 fish outta there, and this week I think I could have chucked my entire fly box at them and they wouldn't have tried to eat it. Move away a bunch and slammed them

Like chocolate and peanut butter or Fred and Ginger, stationery and monograms just work perfectly together. Making sure that they do is our resident monogram artist, Jackie Brown.
Whether you're into swirly or straight, diminutive or daring, she can turn initials into works of art. A monogram, after all, is the ultimate expression of individuality. So it made sense, then, that we get personal about, well, getting personal.
When did your interest in the monogram begin?
My interest in monograms began shortly after being hired by Crane. I was hoping to develop an art-based career. I found such an opportunity in making monograms. Monograms allowed me to become creative, thereby making them my art.
What is your favorite step in the process of written correspondence?
Finding the right paper and expressing your thoughts via the written word. To me this is a very sincere form of communication.
If you could be pen pals with anyone in history, to whom would you write and what would you say?
I would write to a family matriarch from previous generations and tell them how the family has grown and developed.
Describe the most memorable letter or postcard you have ever received.
Every written note is memorable because people actually took the time to write instead of sending a quick electronic message. This form of communication is very thoughtful and seems to be getting lost in today's electronic world.
What makes a particular letter stand out from a stack of cards?
I like to look at the quality of the paper it is written on. This adds to the thoughtfulness of the message.
Do you have a favorite stamp or stamp series?
I like all the subject-specific stamps. They are subtle messages that add to the quality of the correspondence.
What is your favorite product created by Crane & Co.?
Monograms, of course!
What do you think classic correspondence will look like in a decade or two?
There most likely will be increased forms of electronic messaging, but the handwritten word will not be lost. It will become known as the most genuine form of communication.
The most memorable monogram you've ever created?
Every monogram I make is important to me because I am creating personal art for the customer.
Have a monogram question for Jackie? Email us at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Have ripe bananas? Turn them into a delicious cake kissed with a cream cheese glaze.
Firm, bright yellow, bananas can take a week or more to ripen enough for baking. You know they're ready when they have lots of dark brown spots and are soft to the touch.
Have too many perfectly ripe bananas? Toss them in the freezer, unpeeled. When you're ready for them, just thaw, cut off the top of the peel, then squeeze the banana straight into your mixing bowl.
Dust the top of this sweetly glazed cake with ground cinnamon.

*chorus* Hi, Arabelle.
I wore it down for most of the day (meaning: no cinching/draping/the answer to life is bucket) so it was boring and long, but after school I decided to be a ho and shorten it by cinching it. Cinch cinch cinch.
It made me, to put it politely, VERY AGGRAVATED. On the inside. I am not so much of a fashion asshole to burst out and begin ranting. That's lowering myself to the "Aberzombie vs. Urban Outfitters argument", of which will never have merit on this blog. And also, I am fully aware that bloggers have their own "style" and cannot be seen as better or worse than any other person for it.
Still, it made me feel really snobby to even think that she was a fashion idiot.
p.s You know my hammer pant post? It was for this contest. Please drop a comment there about my entry, I really, really, really would appreciate it thousandfold. Brownies for everyone if I win!

text: My name is Allandra. I have three sisters and one brother. Art has been a part of my life from a very young age. My favorite kinds of artwork to create are abstract paintings and sculptures. I am so grateful to have stumbled upon the Youth Insights program. I believe that this program will allow me to be more open-minded and accepting of the opinions of others. I use art to express my emotions on a daily basis. Also, I find that when I am sick in bed, art is what manages to get me through the day. My favorite artists are Henri Matisse, Claude Monet, and Edgar Degas. My favorite Matisse piece is The Sorrows of the King (1952). My favorite works by Monet are his paintings of the gardens at Giverny. My favorite piece by Degas is Waiting (1882). My favorite museum is the Guggenheim, but the museum I have visited the most is The Museum of the City of New York. I find comfort in being surrounded by art. I love to sit in front of paintings and imagine what compelled the artists to create them.

For those of you not familiar with V-crotch articulation, it's the type of crotch piece where it's shaped like a V and the legs splay outwards when you move them forward or back. This style of articulation is most noticable on Playmates' Star Trek figures and the POTJ Aurra Sing figure.
However, what I'm begging Hasbro to stop using is the shoulder version of this articulation - I hate it! Whenever I move Anakin Hangar Duel's arms up, they don't just go out in front of him, they also move outwards, the more you raise the arms, the further out they go. This renders the figure somewhat useless for the Anakin speeder since his arms absolutely cannot be in front of him at the same time.
Please stop doing this, it may work aesthetically, but IMO it doesn't work for the toy itself.

NASA: Hotter Summers Since 1980 Caused by Global Warming
Tiffany Kaiser
August 7, 2012 1:21 PM
Recipient E-mail
Sender E-mail
The past 30 years has seen more "hot" (orange), "very hot" (red) and "extremely hot" (brown) summers, compared to a base period defined in this study from 1951 to 1980
(Source: NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center Scientific Visualization Studio)
Hotter summers have become the norm from 1980 to present compared to 1951 to 1980 (the base period)
NASA researchers have claimed to find new evidence for everyone's favorite topic:
global warming
James Hansen, study leader from NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS), as well as GISS researchers Makiko Sato and Reto Ruedy, have concluded that summer heat waves (mainly in the U.S. Midwest) have become the norm over the last 30 years compared to a base period 30 years before 1980 -- and it's because of global warming.
Their study works like this: the team collected mean summer temperatures from 1951 to 1980. This was considered the base period for the study. They then looked at the surface temperature data from the last 30 years (1980 until now) to determine whether
extreme heat events
were increasing.
From there, the team wanted to see how much heating and cooling occurred in both time periods. To do this, they used a bell curve, which is a common tool that places the middle ground at the top of the bell (for instance, if this were a grading curve, a "C" would be at the top while the next tier down on each side would be a "B" and a "D," and the bottom of the bell would be an "A" and an "F). In this case, the top of the bell would be mean temperature, the next tier down would be "cold" on one side and "hot" on the other, then "very cold" and "extremely cold" on one side moving down while "very hot" and "extremely hot" are moving down the bell on the other side.
Researchers then applied mean temperatures from 1980 until present, and found that 1980s, 1990s and 2000s fell more to the hot side than cold. The curve widened and flattened as well, which means there was a broader range of variability. This is important because Hansen once predicted that global warming's connection to extreme events would become more apparent in the decades from 1980 to present, but natural variability can play a role too and actually mask the trend. It was important to distinguish the two.
This wider curve created the new "extremely hot" category, which was barely there in the base period. However, hot has become considered normal in the last 30 years. To be more specific, 75 percent of land area on Earth had "hot" summers in the last decade alone, where only 33 percent had "hot" summers from 1951 to 1980 total.
According to the researchers, an "extremely hot" summer is considered a mean summer temperature that is experienced by less than one percent of Earth's land area during the base period. But since 2006 alone, approximately 10 percent of land area across the Northern Hemisphere had a summer like this.
"This summer, people are seeing extreme heat and agricultural impacts," said Hansen. "We're asserting that this is casually
connected to global warming
, and in this paper, we present the scientific evidence for that."
The study noted "extremely hot" summers in other areas besides just the U.S. Midwest, like Texas, Mexico and Oklahoma in 2011 and Eastern Europe, Western Asia and the Middle East in 2010.
This study was published in the journal
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences
Science Daily

Bill Gates
Chairman and founder, Microsoft Corp.
William "Bill" H. Gates is chairman of Microsoft Corp.
On June 27, 2008, Gates transitioned out of a day-to-day role in the company to spend more time on his global health and education work at the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Gates continues to serve as Microsoft''s chairman and as an advisor on key development projects. In June 2006, Ray Ozzie assumed Mr. Gates'' previous title as chief software architect and oversees technical architecture and product oversight responsibilities at Microsoft. Craig Mundie assumed the new title of chief research and strategy officer at Microsoft and is responsible for the company''s research and incubation efforts.
Born on Oct. 28, 1955, Mr. Gates grew up in Seattle with his two sisters. Their father, William H. Gates II, is a Seattle attorney. Their late mother, Mary Gates, was a schoolteacher, University of Washington regent and chairwoman of United Way International.
Mr. Gates attended public elementary school and the private Lakeside School. There, he discovered his interest in software and began programming computers at age 13.
In 1973, Mr. Gates entered Harvard University as a freshman, where he lived down the hall from Steve Ballmer, now Microsoft''s chief executive officer. While at Harvard, Mr. Gates developed a version of the programming language BASIC for the first microcomputer - the MITS Altair.
In his junior year, Mr. Gates left Harvard to devote his energies to Microsoft, a company he had begun in 1975 with his childhood friend Paul Allen. Guided by a belief that the computer would be a valuable tool on every office desktop and in every home, they began developing software for personal computers.
In 1999, Mr. Gates wrote "Business @ the Speed of Thought," a book that looks at how computer technology can solve business problems in fundamentally new ways. The book was published in 25 languages and is available in more than 60 countries. The book received wide critical acclaim and was listed on the best-seller lists of the New York Times, USA Today, The Wall Street Journal and on Amazon.com. Mr. Gates'' previous book, "The Road Ahead," published in 1995, was at the top of the New York Times bestseller list for seven weeks.
Mr. Gates has donated the proceeds of both books to non-profit organizations that support the use of technology in education and skills development.
In addition to his love of computers and software, Mr. Gates founded Corbis, which is developing one of the world''s largest resources of visual information - a comprehensive digital archive of art and photography from public and private collections around the globe. He is also a member of the board of directors of Berkshire Hathaway Inc., which invests in companies engaged in diverse business activities.
Philanthropy is very important to Mr. Gates. He and his wife, Melinda, started a foundation in 2000 to help reduce inequities in the United States and around the world. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation supports philanthropic initiatives in the areas of global health and learning, with the hope that in the 21st century, advances in these critical areas will be available for all people. To learn more about the foundation, visit www.gatesfoundation.org.
Mr. Gates was married on Jan. 1, 1994, to Melinda French Gates. They have three children. Mr. Gates is an avid reader, and enjoys playing golf, tennis and bridge.

Big deal the guy was an athiest it's not relevant the guy killing 12 people is what's relevant.
Im fairly certain next week he will believe he's Joan of Arc. Followed by Charlemagne. After that Mario Williams.
The guys personal belief system had very little to do with his massacre. What it had to do with is his medical condition. He was a nutjob who, for whatever reason, couldnt get adequate treatment. The treatment he was receiving clearly wasnt working.
Terrorist attack count against the Anything Goes Thread: 5
Of course, if he was a Christian, he wasn't really one. He was a cultural Christian, not a real one. This is a simple explanation for every Christian who does a bad thing. They weren't really Christians, despite actually reading and following the bible, they aren't real Christians.
This is a much more plausible explanation than he was simply a sick man. Gotta learn your stuff my friend...

Day 2 of the show is here... Quite a few Debian-jp guys are hanging out at the booth talking to our Japanese team. They really liked CTK! :) Seems a little more busy today, and it seems they found the air conditioning switch. Yesterday was extremely hot. Feels much better today.
Last night we went to the main land, into downtown Tokyo. We walked around Shinbashi. Makes Times Square feel small. Tokyo is HUGE! Definetly felt the Blade Runner feel there. They had main streets but most of the stuff was happening in the ally's. Lots of people!
Tonight is our last night so we should be having a good time. For now, back to manning the booth. :)

Celebrate Princeton Invention: Paul Prucnal
Posted December 6, 2010; 11:45 a.m.
Name: Paul Prucnal, professor of electrical engineering
Invention: Optical radiofrequency interference cancellation system
"The wireless equivalent of being able to detect a whisper in the roar of a freight train," the optical radiofrequency interference cancellation system invented by electrical engineer Paul Prucnal and his collaborators enables receivers to detect a weak signal in the presence of noise coming from a nearby source. (Photo by Brian Wilson)
What it does: By enabling receivers to detect a weak signal in the presence of noise coming from a nearby source, Prucnal's system addresses the "co-site interference problem" -- a scourge of wireless communications technology that occurs when signals from sources close together interfere with one another. This issue, also known as spectral fratricide or unintentional jamming, can wreak havoc on cell phone connections and place the lives of soldiers traveling through enemy territory in grave danger when it interrupts their ability to share vital information.
The new method developed in Prucnal's lab uses an optical approach to solve the problem, converting the electronic signals into optical, or light-based, ones. These signals are then carefully manipulated to preserve the integrity of the desired signal while subtracting the noise. Portable and compact, the system is designed to enable use on moving vehicles, such as those involved in security and military applications.
"It's the wireless equivalent of being able to detect a whisper in the roar of a freight train," Prucnal explained.
Collaborators: Graduate student Madeline Lu, Jonathan Bruno, who earned his master's degree from Princeton in 2010, and Andrew McCandless of the Louisiana-based technology services company Bascom-Hunter.
Commercialization status: A patent is pending and the technology has been licensed to a start-up co-founded by Prucnal and McCandless, an entrepreneur.
