Loran Study Finally Unleashed: Says Keep It, Best Option
Withheld from the public for two years, since its completion in March 2007, the Independent Assessment Team (IAT) report has been let out of detention, just in time to counter recent efforts by the Obama administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the U.S. Coast Guard to throttle the program. The IAT "unanimously recommends that the U.S. government complete the eLoran upgrade and commit to eLoran as the national backup to GPS for 20 years." The IAT's conclusion has long been informally known throughout the GPS industry, but the report's release adds considerable weight, expertise, and specifics to a long, determined campaign to preserve the program.
Compiled by the Institute for Defense Analyses, the IAT report has been held back from public release since March 20, 2007, when it was completed and presented to the co-sponsoring Department of Transportation and Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Executive Committees. Its release now comes only after an extensive Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA) battle waged by industry representatives against the federal government.
Download the 32-page "Independent Assessment Team (IAT) Summary of Initial Findings on eLoran" here.
The report asserts that "eLoran is the only cost-effective backup for national needs; it is completely interoperable with and independent of GPS, with different propagation and failure mechanisms. . . . It is a seamless backup, and its use will deter threats to U.S. national and economic security by disrupting (jamming) GPS reception."
The IAT, chaired by Bradford Parkinson, founding program director for GPS, and assisted by other industry experts, evaluated all available or potential alternatives for a GPS backup. In particular, it examined the costs of the Loran system and a transition to a new, modernized enhanced or "eLoran." It found eLoran's infrastructure enhancements to be 70 percent complete, and the cost to complete its rollout less expensive than decommissioning the Loran system.
The two-year-old report finally arrives in public view, staking out direct opposition to recent comments made by the DHS that Loran termination will save $190 million over five years. Such claims failed to specify or include the decommissioning costs, or explore the operational savings available with modern eLoran transmitters. Senior DHS representatives have — unbelievably, but yes, it is true — claimed recently that it is not clear a GPS backup is needed, and have taken the time-honored route of recommending additional study.
The IAT report concludes that "eLoran be completed and retained as the national backup system for critical safety of life, national and economic security, and quality of life applications currently reliant on position, time, and/or frequency from GPS." Its authors emphasize that "the U.S. government policy decision is needed to motivate users to equip."

I'd also be curious to see a list of those who are anti, yet have armed security at their disposal.
Watching Fox coverage of Kennedy's funeral...I saw the OTHER Senator from Mass. printing when he reached over to hug the widdow. How did he get a permit?
I received a list called "Look Who's Carrying" but can't remember from who.
Anyway, Dianne Feinstein, born 22June33, was on it along with Arthur Sutzberger,Jr., born 22Sept51 (New York Times Publisher). Both were a definate surprise to me.
Also on the list are
Gary Coleman
Johnny Carson
William F.Buckley
Sammy Davis Jr.

Sorry guys, but I question the accuracy of this list. Some of the people on the list have been dead for decades. G. Gordon Liddy is a convicted felon. He can't own a firearm. His wife can, however.
Sara Brady? Does the list mean Sarah Brady, from the Center to Prevent Gun Violence?
Does anyone have the original source of the list?

I did read somewhere that Deniro was one of the few New Yorkers with a CC permit...

YES or NO Question: Do Southern Accents Sound Dumb?
The Oak Ridge National Laboratory has pulled the plug on a proposed "Southern Accent Reduction" class after some employees complained that they found it offensive. The six-week course was going to be taught by an "accent reduction trainer" and students were going to learn to speak in a more neutral accent so they could "be remembered for what you say and not how you say it." In response to the cancellation, an ORNL spokesperson explained, "It probably wasn't presented in the right way and made it look like ORNL had some problem with having a Southern accent, which of course we don't. That was not the intent at all."
So here is the conclusion we jump to: If this Oak Ridge lab place wants to aid attendees in eliminating their southern accent, that must assume that southern accents make one appear stupid. The big leap in judgement on our part: Southern accents make you dumb.
With that leap explained, we formulate today's YES or NO Question:

Virtualisation Whitepapers
Today's enterprises have higher than ever demands for data and application availability. The rapid digitisation of business processes and increasing expectations from customers and partners for constant uptime is ushering in a new era for IT which is less restricted by manual data protection practices. Telsyte research shows 75 per cent of IT budgets are spent on operations and transformation programs with only 25 per cent left for innovation. To drive more innovation, CIOs must address their number one business priority — reducing operating expenses — and free their organisations from a complex collection of backup, storage and virtualisation systems to ensure applications are online and protected from failures and cyber attacks.
Businesses today often face the same challenges such as exponential data growth, a constant stream of new technologies and flat budgets. These challenges can hold your business back. For those that adopt innovative solutions or fresh approaches, however, these challenges become great opportunities to beat the competition by serving internal and external customers more effectively and efficiently.
Virtualising helps prevent costly infrastructure sprawl. As users expand their virtualisation footprint, choosing a reliable virtualisation platform to run business-critical applications, scale-up and scale-out applications, maximize ROI of hardware investments, and improve performance while avoiding disruption is critical. VMware vSphere® with Operations Management™ can help achieve your unique business needs by delivering industry-leading virtualisation with consistent management, purpose-built to get the best performance, availability and efficiency from your infrastructure and applications. Through a unified console, customers can maintain a universal view of their virtual environment, monitor its performance and optimize utilization resources. Customers can deliver improved SLAs, achieve infrastructure and application availability, and increase IT resource utilisation.
An organization's ability to be competitive locally and globally has become inseparable from decisions made within its datacenter. Today's IT departments are expected to move quickly with the businesses they support and ultimately be a key contributor to initiatives designed to improve a business' bottom line, expand its revenue streams, or strengthen its relationships with customers.
After more than a decade of growing adoption, server virtualization is now basic, mainstream technology that is being used in datacenters around the world. The time has come for virtualization to become integrated as a core feature into the rest of the infrastructure. Virtualization needs to become invisible.
In Software-Defined Data Center (SDDC) architectures, all infrastructure—including compute, storage, and networking—is virtualized, pooled, and delivered on demand. The agility and flexibility of the SDDC enables enterprises to drive innovation, accelerate business velocity, establish competitive advantage, and reduce overall IT costs. This infographic shows the critical role that VMware NSX network virtualization plays in the SDDC to help enterprises achieve exceptional speed, agility, security, and economics.
This eBook provides a broad overview of micro-segmentation in the data centre. After reading this , you'll have a good basic understanding of micro-segmentation — like you'd get from a college-level 101 class, but far more interesting than Microbiology 101 or Microeconomics 101 (and not as difficult either)!
This whitepaper looks at the security gaps and disconnects in organisations, how network virtualisation can help to reduce risk and support a higher-level security strategy and why micro-segmentation provided through network virtualisation paves the way for implementing a Zero Trust model.
With the footprint of virtualisation expanding across organisations, it is crucial to choose a reliable platform which will allow companies to improve business agility while avoiding disruption. Find out in this whitepaper how choosing the right virtualisation platform can help companies to reduce 53% of infrastructure management cost while receiving 2.4 times return on investment.
Smart storage addresses the mismatch between storage and the demands of virtualisation. This is built on the industry's first and leading intelligent application-aware architecture, which delivers unparalleled, efficient, scalable, cost effective and end-to-end insights into the infrastructure. Find out more about smart storage and its benefits in this whitepaper.

Hey guys, this is a guest post by Carly who wanted to talk about her experience writing for a baby boomer/ retirement magazine and what it taught her about personal finance.
We see stories in the news every day about how the Baby Boomer wave is hitting retirement age, and many are finding themselves caught unprepared. But why? The BMO Retirement Institute reports boomers over the age of 55 are not serious about planning for retirement. Only 54 per cent of those surveyed have ever tried calculating a financial goal for retirement; less than half (45 per cent) have consulted with a financial planner; and 43 per cent do not consider themselves knowledgeable about making financial investments, according to the report.
If that's not enough to convince a 20-something to set up a retirement savings plan, I don't know what is. However, not all of the Generation-Y pack care to acknowledge the financial crisis currently striking down on those more than twice our age. We're still a long way from 65, the standard age for retirement. This makes it difficult for certain individuals to make the connection, and to start taking retirement seriously as early as their 20s. We're too busy settling into our careers, searching for life-long partners,
paying off student debt and saving to buy our first homes.
A recent article in The Globe and Mail (editor's input: by none other than Preet Banjeree!) reads, "With borrowing up and savings rates down, many Canadians are spending all they make now. And if that wasn't bad enough, some are also borrowing from future earnings. Canadian debt-to-income levels hit an all-time high this year. That means some people are on track to spend every dollar they will ever earn in their lifetime before they even retire."
In other words, we're headed for an even rougher path than our elders.
The article goes on to explain recent findings published in the Journal of Marketing Research, where authors discovered that if subjects were presented with an image showing an aged version of themselves, they were more likely to put an imaginary grant of $1,000 into a retirement fund than those who were not offered the image. This suggests in order for us youngsters to take seriously our plans for retirement, we need to be able to make some sort of connection to our future, gray-haired selves.
After reading this myself, it was like a light bulb went off. I am a prime example of this suggestion. All this time, I have credited the positive turn in my financial habits to the swift slap of the real world, which occurred abruptly after graduating from university with a total of $28,000 in student loan debt.
But it was more than that.
In November of 2010, about 7 months after graduating (and just after my lovely 6 month OSAP "grace period" came to an end), I scooped up the opportunity to do some freelance writing for Zoomer. For those who are unfamiliar with the magazine, it's a Canadian lifestyle publication for the 45 plus demographic (boomers with "zip"—hence the Zoomer title).
Over the last year I have been putting myself in the shoes of the Baby Boomer, as I write stories for this audience covering a wide-range of topics, including finance. I quickly became aware of all the financial struggles suffered by this generation, especially in terms of retirement woes. And as I did my research and followed along with the publication, I was studying all of the financial advice offered to the boomers and using it to shape my own ways. It wasn't until I saw the story in The Globe and Mail that I realized this. I had made the connection the study discusses—I can imagine my life at age 65 because I do it every day as part of my job.
So I guess I have the Baby Boomers to thank for motivating me to make long term financial goals. In a sense, it's about learning from their mistakes—I refuse to become part of the 54 per cent. Of course, not all of the financial advice offered to the 45 plus demographic is going to apply to someone my age. And you won't find any tips in Zoomer about paying off your student loans or becoming a first-time home buyer (fortunately, we have PF blogs like Young and Thrifty for that).
Still, the overall message is relative:
retirement is something to look forward to rather than fear.
And the best way for that to happen is to
start planning now.

Bluetooth help
Hi guys,
I'm new to the forum, but I allready done some research, but couldn't find nothing about my case.
I have a 2005 x5 (european version) that have a hands-free kit and nav, the phone is a wirelless bluetooth bmw one, made by motorola, and I want to connect my other phones, what I have to do, do I need to install other complete handsfree kit or just change the phone cradle?
I would like not using the phone cradle, since I change phone very often.
Here are some pics:
I have the same phone and I'm going crazy by trying to figure out where I should place the sim card. Could you give me a clue where the SIM-card must be inserted? Many thanks!
Have you guys tried to pair your current cell phones to the bluetooth system without the use of the BMW phone ?
Since your X5's already came with the BMW phone, not sure if it will work, but it's worth a try.....
I have my iPhone connected this way. You will just need your Pairing Code to get it working.
Good Luck !!!
Yep, I did try so however my iPhone can't find any bluetooth device.
I tried also with older nokia phones and although I found and actually can pair the phone correctly to the car's bluetooth nothing more happens. All time I get the message "Please insert sim card" and I have no idea where I should insert it.
Have u tried to unhook the BMW phone and just try ur normal phone..???
Since mine didnt have the BMW phone, I'm brainstorming over here. Ultimately, when I turned on the bluetooth on my phone, it quickly found the X5's bluetooth signal....
No, I haven't tried that yet as I couldn't figure out how to unhook the snap-in module but it's absolutely worth a try. Thanks for that idea!

I created a new logo sting, but due to my 3 rejections in a row I am going to see if I should submit before I go thru all of the trouble of packaging it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18Nl5It3Tlo&list=UUqswISqZGTVTvRwOQOKyP4A&index=1
BTW it is half resolution and you should probably click the 480p button
I have some feedback for you,
Add some motion blur and camera shake when the logo makes its impact, that'll make the whole animation look much more natural.
Thanks Grizzle, believe it or not it has both of those but for some reason Youtube isn't picking it up quite right. But always good advice
not sure about the motion blur but you might have selected stabilize the footage when uploading. In that case youtube messes it up quite badly
oh really, hmm. maybe that's it. I will keep an eye for it the next upload I make, Thanks
Hi Mechaco,
Please check out this link: http://support.envato.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/382
Hi, MR I have seen that, but that doesn't mean that we can't use extruded logos, right? Flat logos are pretty boring, I assumed that it just meant not like maupa's since after his success 100 more similar files came out.
It looks pretty good, can be improved with some stong camera shake,Reflections on the logo and change the camera angles and add depth of field

With growing public support, mounting scientific evidence, and evolving national and international laws on behalf of chimpanzees, the Great Ape Protection Act (GAPA) H.R. 5852 was introduced to the House this past spring by U.S. Representatives Edolphus Towns (D-NY), David Reichert (R-WA), Jim Langevin (D-RI), Roscoe Bartlett (R-MD), Thomas H. Allen (D-ME), Bruce L. Braley (D-IA), John Campbell (R-CA), and Mary Bono Mack (R-CA). GAPA calls for an end to invasive biomedical research and testing on chimpanzees. The bill would also retire all federally owned chimpanzees in labs—many for more than 40 years—to permanent sanctuary. Spearheaded by Project R&R and the HSUS, the bill is bolstered by Project R&R's years of previous and continuing work to educate the public about the use of chimpanzees in research and testing. With our help and the work of other chimpanzee experts, the bill is gaining unprecedented support from the public as well as scientists, physicians, and educators.
Theodora Capaldo, EdD, President and Executive Director of Project R&R, notes, "With passage of this bill, the U.S. will join other scientifically advanced nations who have already banned or severely limited the use of chimpanzees, and all great apes, in research. It's time for the U.S.—the single largest user—to join this world community."
The bill has been referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce's Subcommittee on Health. House Reps continue to sign on as co-sponsors. In 2000, the CHIMP Act had 143 cosponsors. Project R&R is working hard to match or exceed this number. We are asking our members to contact their legislators and urge them to sign on.

Between games of the regularly scheduled basketball doubleheader, at approximately 3:45 p.m., former Patriot soccer defender Josef Schroeder will be inducted into the FMU Athletic Hall of Fame.
A native of Elgin, Ill., Schroeder played four seasons at Francis Marion from 1994 to 1997.

He was also an All-Region performer in 1996 and earned All-Conference recognition as a sophomore and junior. Schroeder finished his career owning the school record for matched played and started. He started every one of FMU's 76 matches during those four seasons and amassed totals of 15 goals scored and eight assists.

Marie Claire asks Ki for advice on how to avoid New Year weight gain
Read more Marie Claire Health articles here
"Great Britain's glittering medal tally at last summer's Olympics was the stuff of dreams - and speculation.
As our cycling team pedalled themselves to a staggering 14 medals, the French wondered grudgingly if our success was down to having 'magic wheels'. The truth was less mysterious. Performance director David Brailsford revealed that the secret to the cyclists' phenomenal medal haul lay in 'marginal gains' – the big successes that can come from taking lots of tiny steps consistently over a set period.
What's that got to do with us? Quite a lot, actually. The average person puts on half a stone at this time of year. But during the celebrations the last thing any of us want to do is make massive changes to our oversubscribed lives, like hour-long runs or cutting out food groups. We want to party, dance, drink, eat and generally indulge – without the scales creeping up...
...To build your marginal gains strategy, Marie Claire has enlisted the help of Tew and her team to calculate the gram-by-gram, calorie-by-calorie effects of small changes you can make during the festive season to ensure you can eat, drink and be merry without going up a dress size."

"What did Daisy want to change?
'Everything really. I'm not going to name any names. I just wanted to tone up, have more energy and feel better about my body.'
Above all, she wanted to do it in a healthy, balanced way.
For the first six weeks, Daisy wore a gadget on her upper arm, called a Ki Fit, which measured how active she'd been, how effective her sleep was and how many calories she'd burned.
'Daisy's problem was that she wasn't eating enough,' says Nicola, her trainer.
'I persuaded her to have bigger meals, as under-eating sends your body into starvation mode so you actually store fat. By increasing the amount of protein she ate and introducing her to weights in the gym, Daisy built lean muscle, which is how she's toned up.'
Armed with the stats from the Ki Fit, ...
meals tailored to Daisy's exact requirements were delivered to her door every day for six weeks.
'I'm healthier, fitter now. i've got tons more energy and I'm mentally more alert. I sleep better. I've not had one sniffle or cough since I started training. I'm an athlete.' She kisses her guns.

Would you break someones arm in a street fight or would you let go the second they started screaming?
Would you break someones arm in a street fight or would you let go the second they started screaming?
Depends on the situation.
http://www.ChrisReesAcademy.com - http://thetattooedchimp.blogspot.co.uk/
Having done everything within my power to get out of the situation, and having been forced into fighting... SNAP IT!!!
Sponsored By www.faixarua.net
If I was lucky enough to get mount position, then I would hope that I could use other options instead of joint breakage...eg a nice Gracie style face slapping.
From guard, I'm assuming this position is a bit risky to remain too long, so, yes, a very keenly applied armbar might be necessary to save me from ground and poundage.
but then what do I know, I would never get in a street fight in first place.
Meerkatsu's BJJ Blog
I would stand up 1on1 fights are very few and far btwn these days and I wouldent want 2 be on the ground with his m8 kicking my face in,
if its one on one id break it just 4 fun
"He who goes to bed with itchy bum, wake up with stinky finger."
So the guy from the club immediately went over and floored him, took mount and started ground and pound. One of the roider's mates then ran up to boot him... he caught the guy's leg, dragged him down and armbarred him. Later saw the first guy covered in blood and the second guy with his t-shirt being used as a sling.
Nothing necessarily wrong with being in a ground fight 2 on 1. I can't see standing would be any more advantageous, depends which range you're best at fighting. People always say "Oh, his mate will put the boot in" but what is to say if you were standing up someone couldn't bottle you from behind?
I find a lot of people talk about streetfighting as if there is some best way, when the reality surely has to be that you are going to end up fighting on instinct and will get through it with a combination of skill, balls and luck.

Monday's Impulsive Splurge on J.Crew
I never even visit the JCrew website because I pretty much love everything they have and can't excuse spending that much money on any of it! But this morning, while perusing one of my favorite fashion blogs, I spotted a silky chambray tunic that I couldn't live without, regardless of the price. And then I spotted some lightweight washed chambray pants that I also needed to own... Now of course, I don't shop anywhere online without going through Ebates.com. Then I make sure I … [Read more...]

I was just wanting some future outlooks or opinions on something that happened that made me really mad. I am in my first year of raising bees and selling honey hoping to grow into something big, and along comes someone close, real close up th road that has all the money in the world and buys thousands of dollars in equipment and over 1000 hives and is attempting to start his own business as well right on top of mine. He knows nothing about bees not even the slightest thing, But i'm worried that it will kill me out one way or the other, Does anyone have any opinions or similar happenings they have experienced before?
Well, i will talk to him because i see him about every day and have known him for about 9 years or longer. I assume he thinks you have a box with bees in it and the make you honey to jar up and seel. As we all know it's not like that. He has no idea i beleive what it just took on. So i may end up with some good equip. in storage for later use. He can't afford to hire pros. and besides there is none around here to work for someone else. I keep posted. thanks
i would think you would be looking for a friend, not an adversary. you may not end up with a friend by helping him, but you surely will not have a friend by not helping him. what do you have to lose?If you would thoroughly know anything, teach it to others. Tryon Edwards

Classroom Technology
OU Law has made a substantial investment in classroom technologies. Whether the need is for in-class presentations or distance learning (via video conference), the classroom and courtroom facilities within OU Law are equipped for the task.
Classroom Presentation Technology
Classroom technologies can accommodate PowerPoint slides, websites, video tapes or DVDs to visually illustrate the concepts being taught. These technolgies are available to both professors and students for in-class presentations.
Distance Learning (Video Conferencing)
One of the newer uses of classroom technology is in the growing area of distance education. OU Law currently has three distance education courses that use our videoconferencing facilities. Two are taught by a professor here with students both here and at another law school. The other is a class that is team-taught by a professor at the College of Law with students here, as well as instructors and students from six other law schools in Canada, Australia and New Zealand. All are participating through videoconferencing technology.
More information about classroom technology is available to OU Law students via the Student Intranet.

Swimming for loons
Seven Squam Lake swimmers to raise funds to aid loons
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader | July 31. 2013 8:35PM
The 2012 Swim Team included members, from left to right: Mark Longley, Wendy Van de Poll, Louise Utzinger, Rick Van de Poll, Celeste St. Pierre, Kit Kilbourn and Rose de Mars. Swimmer Chip Broadhurst is not pictured. Longley and the Van de Polls will swim again this Friday. (COURTESY)
This 8th annual swim, set for Friday, will raise funds for the Loon Preservation Committee's Squam Lake Loon Initiative, according to Senior Biologist/Executive Director Harry Vogel of the Loon Preservation Committee in Moultonborough.
According to Vogel, Squam Lake has seen a dramatic decrease in the number of loon pairs since 2005, and an average of fewer than three loon chicks raised per year, not nearly enough to maintain the loon population. Three adults banded in previous years did not survive to return to the lake this summer, and loons on Squam have only hatched two chicks so far this season.

How does NETLink find MathKernel.exe?
I have a program that uses .NET\Link to fire up a Mathematica Kernel
to do calculations. The NETLink .dll sits next to the program's
executable. On most of the machines I've run the program on,
everything runs fine, but on one of our machines, NETLink doesn't
automatically find the location of the MathKernel.exe file. I am
having a heck of a time figuring out from the documentation how
NETLink usually finds the location of this executable...but maybe I'm
just blind.
The documentation says that NETLink will automatically use the most
recently installed instance of Mathematica, and I've seen reference in
some of the forums to a registry key specifying the location, but I
haven't been able to find which registry key that is by either
browsing forums or comparing the registry of the problem machine with
one that works.
So...how does NETLink find MathKernel.exe?

Golden Milk: Hot or Iced!
I love whipping one up whenever I want a sweet, warm drink or after a workout to help curb next-day soreness. Turmeric is a flavor you may recognize typically from curries, but but pairs perfectly with the sweetness of this drink. On top of being an anti-inflammatory, turmeric also boasts antioxidant and anti-depressant properties, as well as is considered a 'cure-all' spice for overall health and wellness in India. Plus, turmeric naturally whitens teeth! Seriously, just look up everything turmeric does - it's a pretty amazing little spice and something we should all be incorporating a bit more of into our daily lives. Which is why this super simple recipe is the PERFECT way to try it for yourself. Chances are you already have all the ingredients on hand to make it - so what're you waiting for? Cheers to your health!
16 ounces (2 cups) almond or coconut milk
2-3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon cardamom
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
pinch of black pepper
Heat your almond or coconut milk in a small saucepan over medium heat (do NOT bring to a boil). Add in the maple syrup, turmeric, vanilla and other ingredients, whisking until the spices are completely dissolved. Simmer for 4-5 minutes, until the milk is hot and everything is well combined. Taste and adjust the flavors to your preference, if you like.
Serve immediately OR let the milk cool to room temperature, then serve over ice. Refrigerated leftovers can either be reheated or served chilled over ice as well.
Serves 1-2.
Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated or enjoyed over ice for up a week.
Turmeric STAINS. Badly. Avoid using white dishes to cook or serve in unless you can wash them right after, and if you do get some turmeric stains on your countertop, I've read that vegetable oil and regular cleanser will usually get it off.
Turmeric DOESN'T stain your teeth! It's actually proven to be a tooth whitener, so no need to brush your teeth after drinking unless your prefer it.
Some people make this tea with fresh turmeric, whole cinnamon sticks, and fresh ginger. If that's what you prefer, we support you! Also, use whatever other spices you like - maybe some cloves or cayenne. We just use ground spices because they're convenient and encourage us to actually MAKE this! 😝

With increasing numbers of flights world-wide and a continuing rise in airport traffic, air-traffic management is faced with a number of challenges. These include monitoring, reporting, planning, and problem analysis of past and current air traffic, e.g., to identify hotspots, minimize delays, or to optimize sector assignments to air-traffic controllers. Interactive and dynamic 3D visualization and visual analysis of massive aircraft trajectories, i.e., analytical reasoning enabled by interactive cyber worlds, can be used to approach these challenges. To facilitate this kind of analysis, especially in the context of real-time data, interactive tools for filtering, mapping, and rendering are required. In particular, the mapping process should be configurable at run-time and support both static mappings and animations to allow users to effectively explore and realize movement dynamics. However, with growing data size and complexity, these stages of the visualization pipeline require computational efficient implementations to be capable of processing within real-time constraints. This paper presents an approach for real-time animated visualization of massive air-traffic data, that implements all stages of the visualization pipeline based on GPU techniques for efficient processing. It enables (1) interactive spatio-temporal filtering, (2) generic mapping of trajectory attributes to geometric representations and appearances, as well as (3) real-time rendering within 3D virtual environments, such as virtual 3D airport and city models. Based on this pipeline, different visualization metaphors (e.g., temporal focus+context, density maps, and overview+detail visualization) are implemented and discussed. The presented concepts and implementation can be generally used as visual analytics and data mining techniques in cyber worlds, e.g., to visualize movement data, geo-referenced networks, or other spatio-temporal data.

The end
Video, Political / Social, Landscape, 5:00
Worked in the video are the concepts of temporality, life / death, self-fruition and re-signification, based on the belief that everything is transformed following a path to the end, making a parallel with the load iconological present in the objects and materials used, its significant, their duties and concepts, reflecting on the time correlated to human finitude. So time, implacable and inexorable transforms everything, making every moment, a single and immutable range in irreversible journey to end.

Hours After U.S. Supreme Court Hears Case Challenging Texas Sodomy Law, Community will Gather for Town Hall Meeting
Find Your State
Legal Help Desk
Our Sponsors
(Arlington, VA, March 20, 2003) - After arguing its case against Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law at the U.S. Supreme Court Wednesday, Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund will hold a town hall meeting to discuss the case and its potential impact with community members and civil rights leaders. The forum is set for Wednesday night, March 26, from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Arlington. "This case is tremendously important for gay people everywhere, and Lambda Legal's national leadership will share insight and analysis on the court activities of the day," said Hector Vargas, Director of Lambda Legal's Southern Regional Office in Atlanta. "We are excited to share this historic moment with our friends in Northern Virginia, Washington DC, and Maryland." The program will feature Kevin Cathcart, Lambda Legal's Executive Director and Linda Kaufman, an Arlington resident whose application for adoption was denied by the state of Virginia because she is a lesbian and considered by the state to be in violation of Virginia's sodomy law. Dyana Mason, Executive Director of town hall co-presenter Equality Virginia, also will address the town hall. Virginia's sodomy law applies to both heterosexual and homosexual couples, but as is often the case, it is used almost exclusively against gay men and lesbians. In the Supreme Court case against the Texas law, Lambda Legal represents John Lawrence and Tyron Garner, who were arrested in Lawrence's Houston home and jailed overnight after officers responding to a false report found the men engaged in private, consensual sex. Once convicted, they were forced to pay fines, are now considered sex offenders in several states and are disqualified from working in dozens of professions. Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law criminalizes oral and anal sex by consenting gay couples and is used widely to justify discrimination against lesbians and gay men. On March 26, the Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether the Texas law violates the federal Constitution's guarantee that laws must protect and apply to people equally, as well as whether it violates the right to privacy. Co-sponsors of the event include Arlington Gay and Lesbian Alliance, Equality Fairfax, Log Cabin Republicans of Northern Virginia, PFLAG Metro DC, Virginia Partisans, Human Rights Campaign, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force, PFLAG National. Wednesday night's forum is part of a series of presentations Lambda Legal is hosting in all 13 states that still have sodomy laws. In partnership with a wide range of organizations, the community meetings will help educate the public about the harms sodomy laws cause and empower people to help fight these laws. The meeting will be on Wednesday night, March 26. It runs from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. and will take place at the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Conference Center, 4301 Wilson Blvd., Arlington, VA.
What: Town hall meeting to discuss U.S. Supreme Court case challenging Texas's "Homosexual Conduct" law.
When: Wednesday March 26, 2003, 7:30-9:30 p.m.
Where: National Rural Electric Cooperative Association Conference Center, 4301 Wilson Blvd, Arlington, Virginia.
Contact: Hector Vargas-Lambda Regional Dir., 404-897-1880 ext: 24; Lisa Hardaway, 212/809-8585 ext. 266

Good news for North Carolina basketball fans: senior guard Dexter Strickland says he's back and ready to go.
Strickland, who tore his right ACL during a game against Virginia Tech last January and had reconstructive surgery, tweeted Monday afternoon:
Finally cleared to play!! #LetsGoo
Strickland was last season's starting shooting guard and backup point guard. He averaged 7.5 points and 1.3 steals before his injury.
Since UNC lost point guard Kendall Marshall and three other starters to the NBA draft, this news that Strickland is healthy and can start practicing is great for the development of this year's team.
"I expect to play point guard way more than I did last year," Strickland told reporters in June. "And that's one of the things I've been focusing on a lot, just watching film on different players, trying to get that point guard mindset."

Foreign Secretary William Hague faced widespread criticism today after signalling Britain would not back a Palestinian bid for statehood.
In a Commons statement, Mr Hague said Britain would only support an historic resolution at tomorrow's meeting at the UN General Assembly in New York if the Palestinians returned to peace negotiations with Israel.
He said the UK would also need an assurance that the Palestinians would not try to get the International Criminal Court to take Israel to court over its role in the Occupied Territories.
He said: "Up until the time of the vote itself, we will remain open to voting in favour of the resolution if we see public assurances by the Palestinians on these points.
"However, in the absence of these assurances, the United Kingdom would abstain on the vote."
Shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander urged the government to stop dithering and come out firmly in favour of Palestinian statehood.
He said: "Let me ask the Foreign Secretary - does he really believe that the threats issued by a Republican-controlled congress to punish the Palestinians for taking this diplomatic step is a reasonable basis on which to base British policy?"
He added: "When will the Foreign Secretary understand, statehood for the Palestinians is not a gift to be given, but a right to be acknowledged?
"I warn the Foreign Secretary, if the UK abstains tomorrow it will not be a measure of our growing influence, it will be a confirmation of our growing irrelevance to meaningful engagement in the search for peace."
Mr Alexander said there was no process, only paralysis.
The calls came after France announced it was ready to support the resolution to upgrade the Palestinians' status at the UN from observer to non-member observer state, with other European states expected to follow suit.
