Bible Text:
Like sheep they are laid in the grave; death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty shall consume in the grave from their dwelling. —Psalm 49:14
As the wicked must all be prostrated before the Lord Jesus Christ, and made his footstool, his members will share in the victory of their Head. It is stated that this will be in the morning—a beautiful and striking metaphor. Surrounded as we are by darkness, our life is here compared to the night, or to a sleep, an image which is specially applicable to the ungodly, who lie as it were in a deep slumber, but not inapplicable to the people of God, such being the dark mist which rests upon all things in this world, that even their minds, except in so far as they are illuminated from above, are partially enveloped in it.
Here we "see only as through a glass darkly," and the coming of the Lord will resemble the morning, when both the elect and reprobate will awake. The former will then cast aside their lethargy and sloth, and being freed from the darkness which rested upon them, will behold Christ the Sun of Righteousness face to face, with the full effulgence of life which resides in him.
The others, who lie at present in a state of total darkness, will be aroused from their stupidity, and begin to discover a new life, of which they had previously no apprehension. We need to be reminded of this event, not only because corruption presses us downwards and obscures our faith, but because there are men who profanely argue against another life, from the continued course of things in the world, scoffing, as Peter foretold (II Peter 3:4) at the promise of a resurrection, and pointing, in derision, to the unvarying regularity of nature through the ages.
We may arm ourselves against their arguments by what the Psalmist here declares, that, sunk as the world is in darkness, there will dawn ere long a new morning, which will introduce us to a better and an eternal existence. —Commentaries
John Calvin was the premier theologian of the Reformation, but also a pious and godly Christian pastor who endeavored throughout his life to point men and women to Christ. We are grateful to Reformation Heritage Books for permission to use John Calvin's Thine Is My Heart as our daily devotional for 2013 on the OPC Web site. You can currently obtain a printed copy of that book from Reformation Heritage Books.
Dr. Joel Beeke, who is editorial director of Reformation Heritage Books, has this to say:
"Calvin shows us the piety of a Reformed theologian who speaks from the heart. Having tasted the goodness and grace of God in Jesus Christ, he pursued piety by seeking to know and do God's will every day. He communed with Christ, practicing repentance, self-denial, and cross-bearing. Moreover, his theology worked itself out in heart-felt, Christ-honoring piety. The selections of this devotional bear this out, and hopefully will be used by God to direct pious hearts in our own day."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- Words didn't wound the Broncos' defensive line. But as the unit prepared for Thursday's season opener, it took note of the public skepticism that formed as it faced a season opener without two players who combined for 27.5 sacks from the edges last year.
Each question, each skeptical critique wondering where the pass rush was going to originate was another splash of lighter fluid onto a flame that kept growing and finally became a full-fledged explosion Thursday, with
"There's always going to be doubters, and I know S.P. had a huge chip on his shoulder – which he should," said defensive lineman
But Phillips, the newest member of the defensive line – since he agreed to terms two days after rookie
After all, he was brought to Denver in the first place to replace what had been lost when Dumervil was released following the fax snafu and opted not to return to the Broncos in March. Phillips didn't see the breakdowns from detached observers as offering calculated analysis; he viewed them as an attack of his proficiency.
"Of course, because that's basically saying, 'Shaun Phillips, you suck. Denver Broncos defensive line, you suck,'" Phillips said.
"We've got good football players. Football's not about one person; it's about 11 people doing the same thing at the same time.
What helped make the Broncos' front four work Thursday was that there were plenty of next men to go around – and they each took their turns. No defensive lineman played fewer than 18 percent of the snaps (Sylvester Williams); none played more than 79 percent (
Such a liberal rotation helped the defensive front wear down the Ravens. The points the offense amassed helped; as it piled up one touchdown after another, it forced the Ravens into a multi-score deficit that made them one-dimensional, freeing the front four to rush Joe Flacco while occasionally using a zone blitz and dropping an end into coverage.
But even in the second quarter through the early part of the third, when the game was still in considerable doubt, Denver's defensive linemen did better at filling gaps and getting a consistent push off the snap. As Baltimore's offensive line wore down, the Broncos' front four stayed fresh.
"Especially in the second half, we did a great job of rotating," Wolfe said. "Malik (Jackson) did a great job of coming in every time he saw I was tired, and everybody in the middle did a great job of rotating. That's huge on the defensive line. Everybody's fresh and ready to play relentlessly."
And the group seems to know how to play well off each other. When defensive tackles
The improved work of Vickerson and Knighton was a promising development, given the occasional struggles the pair had at times during training camp as they grew accustomed to one another. That was a part of the growth process, and helped lead to their play Thursday.
"In camp we were just trying to get a feel for each other, and then in live action, it just naturally flows," Vickerson said. "Everything else happened. We're just trying to play fast and physical inside, and that's all we can do."
But good chemistry also helps. And that's where the offseason and preseason chatter about what the line could and could not do paid dividends.
"We have the closest D-line group I've ever been a part of, other than maybe my senior year in college (at the University of Cincinnati)," Wolfe said. "We were pretty close last year, and I didn't think we could get any closer than that, but we have.
"When people doubt you, you either grow apart or come together. We've come together."
Now that they've flourished once, the only question revolves around whether they can keep stepping forward with the same kind of performance and chemistry. One game is well and good, but the veterans know that it isn't enough.
"They were asking us where we're going to get our answers from, and I think we all stepped up and answered the question," Vickerson said. "But it's just one game. But if we put them together, then you can say something."

For Kutztown seniorKatie Goodbrod, the Banzai Program made the task of balancing her checkbook a whole lot easier. The program is a web-based tool for students to learn about managing money using real life scenarios.
�The hardest thing was knowing what goes where and how much to put in each account,� said Goodbrod. �Pay attention and learn from it. Take it seriously because it really does help.�
The biggest benefit for her was being able to manage her money more. She intends to apply what she has learned after she graduates because she said she�s going to be a broke college student.
�That�s the plus about this program,� said Doris F. Schappell, family and consumer science teacher. �Because, after they�ve done it, they can go on to the program and put in their own information and use it on their own.�
Schappell said that while Goodbrod might not be paying rent, she might have a food allowance she wants to keep track of along with clothing, transportation and things like that. With the Banzai Program, Goodbrod can set up her own accounts and follow through to budget her own money.
The Banzai Program was donated to Kutztown High School by Discovery Federal Credit Union.
�We�re strong supporters of financial education,� said Tara McQuillen, director of marketing for Discovery Federal Credit Union. �I�ve been giving speeches and volunteer my time in classrooms so we�re already involved with the schools and I was trying to find a program that would be a good fit for the teachers to use.�
McQuillen said credit unions as a nation are huge advocates of financial education and try to catch people when they�re younger to teach them more about their personal finances so when they do get older and they are going off to college or starting to work and have to make those big financial decisions, they�re prepared for it. They can be better savers and better spenders and be more financially savvy.
Discovery Federal Credit Union wanted to give back to the community it served and donated materials to more than 1,000 students in 15 schools throughout Berks County in 2012. The program was provided to the schools at no cost. McQuillen gets letters from teachers about how well their students did and how much they enjoyed the program.
�I remember one of the teachers in the local schools uses the program for her special needs class and the parents gave huge positive feedback about how well this program works,� said McQuillen.
According to Schappell, the program is a mandatory four-week long course for ninth grade, but offered as an elective to the high school students.
�I like it because it gives scenarios. Kids today don�t realize what it�s going to cost,� said Schappell. �They think that $10 an hour is a fantastic salary.�
Schappell told a story about a girl who had spent $150 in make-up. Shocked, she asked her if she has that much money. The girl told her she has so much money that she doesn�t know what to do with it. Schappell asked her if she thought about saving it and was told she does save it; she has $600. Schappell then asked her if she realized how far that $600 was going to get her if she had to live on her own. The family and consumer science teacher said the students don�t grasp that concept. The girl Schappell talked to wasn�t in ninth grade; she was a senior. Because the course was only introduced in the last couple of years and not being a business student, the senior did not have the benefit of learning how to manage money.
Schappell said, �Some of them actually do have debit cards already in ninth grade and to me that�s a little scary when they don�t really have a lot of information on finance and they have access to accounts for debit cards and then you hear about all the college kids that are so much in debt with credit cards.�
While using the program, the students learn first by allocating money with the visual concept of envelopes or jars for rent, food, insurance, gas, etc. before applying the dollar amounts to online ledgers/charts. They find that at the end of the month if there is no money in the food envelope, they may need to get it from somewhere else and there may not be anyplace else to get it from. Online, they learn to put in how much an activity costs, which account to get money from and then to make the transfer. Everyone starts out with the same budget.
�The only thing that I can see that could make it more interesting would be if one student gets a certain amount for a paycheck and another student gets a different amount and one student pays a different amount for rent and they all have slightly different scenarios,� said Schappell.
According to Jessica Allen, representative for Banzai Professor Emeritus of Finance of The Wharton School, David F. Babble, said, �Our students must become financially literate in order to be responsible members of society. Not only does Banzai teach key financial principles, but also a system which they can use throughout their lives.�
Allen noted that Banzai just released a new feature within the software. Teachers are now able to request to take their students on field trips to the local branches. Discovery promptly replied to this feature option and is excited for teachers to make use of it.

Seventeen-year-old Ashton Jones didn't start out to be anyone's hero, it just happened.
Maybe it is his destiny. Born of pioneer stock, he is named after his great-grandfather, Ashton Harris.
Maybe it is his attitude. They say when he broke his leg in four places, mid-June, he didn't even whimper. His biggest fear was that the injury would keep him from going on the Rocky Ridge Trek.
Maybe it is his spirituality. Ashton said he felt the Spirit so strong at Trek it gave him strength beyond his own. One cannot understand what one does not recognize.
Maybe it is a combination of all three. Whatever it was, it moved him to do what was seemingly impossible, and that is what made him heroic in the eyes of all those who witnessed his journey—a journey he shared with about three hundred other modern pioneers; a journey that took them back in time.
Concerning the historic Rocky Ridge Trek experience, someone said, "I thought I was recreating history; instead, I found history recreated me."
Youth from the Blanding Stake of the LDS Church found this to be true as they left home at 4 a.m. and traveled 14 hours, in old school buses, to Fremont County, WY, so they could participate in a two day trek – across the same ground Mormon immigrants traveled a century and a half before.
The first night, the youth set up camp and then worked out their stiffness with square dancing.
The second day, Pioneer Day, they learned how to load and pull a handcart; then the 15-mile trek began.
Ashton had initially feared he wouldn't be allowed to go because of his broken leg, but he was told he could ride in one of two support vehicles that accompanied the trekkers.
However, at the first rest stop, as he watched the other youth arriving, he felt an overwhelming desire to be part of the group.
"They all looked so happy," Ashton remembers. "They looked like they were having a lot of fun, and I wanted to be with them. I wanted to have the same experience."
Before the trek, all of the youth had been assigned to "families". Ashton was in the family of Ryan and Brenda Heck. As their group left the rest area, Ashton joined them, hobbling along on his crutches.
The youth had been encouraged to walk in memory of a member of an original handcart company. Ashton had chosen William Page because he is about the same age Page was when he came across the plains.
A member of the ill-fated Willie Handcart Company, Page nearly died of starvation and exposure. At one point, he helped three other men carve a common grave out of frozen ground for members of their party.
Two of the men would shortly be laid in the grave they had helped dig. Page would be nursed back to health once he reached the Salt Lake Valley and later become a rider for the Pony Express.
Despite Ashton's choice, he soon acquired another identity as the other youth began comparing him to Albert, a cripple in the movie, 17 Miracles, who crossed the plains on crutches.
As Ashton made his way through sand and rocks, up hills and down, his arms and shoulders began to ache, but he kept on going. Eventually his family members urged him to get into the handcart and ride for a while.
Realizing that he was holding the others up, he gratefully allowed his family to pull him. Still, he managed to go about five miles on his own. The next day the trekkers hiked another 15 miles; Ashton "crutched" six of them.
In his book, Seven Trails West, historian Arthur King Peters said of the Mormon handcart pioneers, "The true Mormon Trail was not on the prairie but in the spirit."
Ashton embodied this spirit as he endured the hardships of the trail. Other youth experienced chaffing and blisters — some to the point of bleeding — but knowing what Ashton was going through gave them a new perspective, which increased their determination.
At Rocky Ridge, the trail ascends 700 feet in two miles, along a boulder strewn path. At this point Joshua and Andrea Nielson reenacted the story of their common progenitors, Jens and Elsie Nielson.
The youth were asked to imagine what it was like in 1856, when the Willie Handcart Company was caught in an early winter snowstorm, fighting about two feet of snow, howling winds, and temperatures falling below zero.
Jens and Elsie had buried their six-year-old son, as well as the nine-year-old Danish girl they had been given charge of. Jens became so crippled with frostbite he asked his wife to leave him to die.
Though she stood under five feet and weighed less than half what her husband, who stood over six feet tall, weighed, she refused, instead helping him into the handcart and then pulling him up the arduous path. Elsie would later testify that she had experienced divine intervention as unseen angels had helped push the cart.
Joshua and Andrea have a daughter who is named after Bodil Mortensen, the young girl who was traveling with Jens and Elsie Nielson. Bodil was buried there at Rocky Ridge, along with 14 others.
It was a poignant moment for the group as they reflected on the sacrifices of those who had willingly given everything required of them for what they believed in.
That evening, the weary youth arrived at their designated camping area as the day's wind increased to gale proportions and rain began to fall. They struggled to get tents into place and some went to bed in damp conditions.
By morning, the air was icy, giving the youth a tiny taste of the cold the pioneers had to deal with. The realization that their discomfort was incomparable to the Willie and Martin Handcart Companies suffering stilled their complaints.
Church leaders who oversee the trek experience — and who see thousands of youth do the trek each year — remarked on the uniqueness of the Blanding youth, who "with joy wend(ed) their way", including the young man on crutches. Ashton may well have become one of the stories leaders will tell future groups.
Remembering the trek, Ashton says, "By the end, I was really tired but I wasn't feeling discouraged any more. I felt accomplished because I didn't take the easy way out. It felt good to be having the same experience as the pioneers."

Set Your Tivos: 01.26.09Posted by nvr1983 on January 26th, 2009
A really weak set of games tonight and only one really worth watching. To be honest, this is a surprisingly weak week of games. I would say there are only a handful of games that I would consider worth watching this week, but I'll get to that in another post.
Game of the Night (The only one worth watching)
#10 Marquette at #19 Notre Dame at 7 PM on ESPN and ESPN360.com: This game might answer some of the questions I posed this weekend about the Big East. I think the conference is not as good as everyone says they are. I think there are only 3 great teams (Pittsburgh, UConn, and the reborn Louisville Cardinals) and a whole bunch of borderline teams. I am actually starting to think the ACC would match-up pretty well against the Big East if you account for the Big East having approximately 1/4th of D-1 in the conference.
While Marquette has an impressive record (17-2), they have not faced a good team all year (Villanova is questionable and that game was at home). A win at Notre Dame would certainly erase some of the doubts that many in the media have. Do I count as the media? Even though Notre Dame's aura of invincibility in South Bend went up in smoke on Saturday against UConn, winning there will still be quite challenging. Buzz Williams, who has done a good job replacing Tom Crean, will need big games out of Wesley Matthews, Jerel McNeal, Lazar Hayward, and Dominic James if he wants to steal one in South Bend and have his Golden Eagles stake a legitimate claim as a Big East title contender.
That said, how likely is it that the Irish, who had a three-year, 45-game home winning streak snapped on Saturday night by UConn, would lose two in a row at home? Not very. Mike Brey's team went stone cold in that game, shooting a miserable 33%, highlighted by Kyle McAlarney's 12 bricks in a row (after starting 3-3) and a combined 2-15 from Zach Hillesland and Ryan Ayers. Luke Harangody was the only scorer that showed for ND in that game (particularly in the second half when UConn's defense was spectacular), so I expect that we'll see a much-better Irish team tonight. They sorta have to win this game – they've already lost their last three and a trip to Pittsburgh looms next. A five-loss losing streak could crush this team's confidence.

In a recent interview with Loudwire, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian delved into what the future looks like for the thrash metal band after he completes his one man show, "Speaking Words" tour. Ian claims that the band is already hard at work writing new music. "Put it this way, we've already got 12 things arranged and I know there's a wealth more material, musically, happening. I wouldn't be surprised if we've got 20 songs written before we start recording this album."
This is quite unusual for Anthrax according to Ian saying, "We've never, ever, in the history of this band done that. I think the most we've ever had was maybe one more song than we needed going in. If there was 10 songs on the record, we maybe had one more."
The guitarist believe the drastic change in writing stems from the bands recent success surrounding their "Worship Music" album which debuted at No. 12 in the United States. "We never reall write more than we need. It's not a case of where we're writing more than we need, we're just having a lot of ideas. I think, it's just really coming off this 'Worship Music' cycle. It was just so good for us, and so much fun, and such a success. It's the first time in a really long time we've gone into a new album n a real high note, on a real postive. I just think that has everything to do with it. We're all just really excited to be doing this."
The album is expected sometime this summer.

EDISON, N.J. – Fresh off its best regular-season finish in its 23 seasons in the Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference, Loyola University Maryland placed a league-high four players – Erik Etherly (Alexandria, Va./Annandale H.S.), Dylon Cormier (Baltimore, Md./Cardinal Gibbons H.S.), Justin Drummond (Bowie, Md./Riverdale Baptist H.S.) and Robert Olson (Silver Spring, Md./Georgetown Prep H.S.) – on the All-MAAC Teams on Monday.
Etherly was the first Loyola player named to the All-MAAC First Team since 2008 when Gerald Brown earned the honor. Cormier earned an All-MAAC Second Team nod, and Drummond and Olson were tabbed to the Third Team.
Loyola enters the MAAC Championships as the No. 2 seed, after winning a program-record 13 MAAC games. The Greyhounds are 21-8 overall and set a school Division I record for wins, as well.
The Greyhounds will play in the MAAC Quarterfinals on Saturday, March 3, at 7:30 p.m. in the MassMutual Center in Springfield, Mass. Loyola will take on the winner of an opening round game between Niagara University and Canisius College. The game will be broadcast on ESPN3.
"I see having four players named to the all-conference teams as a tribute to the way this team has played as a whole this year," Head Coach Jimmy Patsos said. "We have been at our best when we have shared the ball, not cared who was scoring the points and played good team defense. Each of these guys have brought different things to the team, from Dylon's leadership, to Erik's presence inside, to Bobby's shooting, to Justin's ability to score in many ways."
The four players are the most Loyola has ever placed on the All-MAAC teams since joining the league in 1989-1990. Previously, three players from the school were honored in 1997-1998, the first year laurels were expanded to three teams.
Etherly was the Greyhounds' leading scorer and rebounder during MAAC play this season, averaging 13.3 and 7.4 per game. Entering the MAAC Championships, he is second on the team with a 13.1 points per game average, while he leads the Greyhounds overall with a 7.7 rebounds per game mark.
He is fourth in the league in rebounds and helped Loyola lead the league in rebounding margin. Etherly is also fourth in the MAAC infield-goal percentage, making shots at a 53.2-percent clip.
The junior from Alexandria, Va., posted eight double-doubles this season and he has scored 10 or more points in 22 of 29 games. Etherly has led Loyola in scoring 10 times and rebounding on 20 occasions. He posted a career-high of 27 points at UMBC earlier this season, and he had one of his signature games in the conference with 22 points and 10 rebounds in a win over regular-season champion Iona on February 10.
Cormier, a sophomore, has led the Greyhounds in scoring this season with a 13.6 points per game mark. He also tops the Greyhounds in steals with 48 and is third in the MAAC with 1.7 steals per game. In his second year with Loyola, Cormier raised his field-goal percentage from .379 as a freshman to .457 as a sophomore.
The Baltimore native topped the 20-point mark seven times this, and he topped the 10-point mark in 22 of 28 games he played. Cormier led – or tied for the team lead – the Greyhounds in scoring 10 times.
Cormier scored a career-high 26 points in the Greyhounds' victory at George Washington in December. It was his second-straight 20+-point effort after scoring 22 in the Greyhounds' first conference road game at Siena.
Drummond came off the bench in all but four games and was one of the league's best sixth men. A MAAC All-Rookie Team member last year, Drummond has averaged 11.2 points per game this season, and he is third on the team in rebounding with a 4.2 boards per game mark.
The sophomore from Bowie, Md., has scored in double-figures 15 times throughout the season, including a team-high 13-point effort against Manhattan yesterday that helped the Greyhounds defeat the Jaspers by two and clinch the No. 2 spot in the MAAC Championships.
Drummond has improved his free-throw percentage by more than 10 points since his freshman season. This year, he is second on the team at75.9-percent, making 82-of-108, after shooting just 65.2-percent from the stripe last year.
Olson has been one of the conference's top shooters this season. He has averaged 12.5 points per game in league play, second on the team, and he has shot 44.7-percent from 3-point range. Overall, Olson has posted an 11.4 points per game mark, good for third on the Greyhounds, and he is second on the squad behind Etherly with a .471 field-goal percentage.
A junior, Olson is second in the MAAC in 3-point percentage, and he finished the regular-season ranked 13th in field-goal percentage, fourth-best amongst guards. Olson was also a MAAC All-Rookie performer in his first year at Loyola, 2008-2009.
Olson, who hails from Silver Spring, Md., was averaging just 8.8 points per game after the Greyhounds' second game in January, but he reeled off a 11-straight games with 11 or more points. In eight of those games, hescored 14 or more points. He also sank two or more 3-pointers during those 11 games.

Clark scored 20-plus points for a second straight game at Michigan (Gil Talbot).
ANN ARBOR, Mich. – The Harvard women's basketball team held a 46-43 lead with under 12 minutes to play but host Michigan outscored the Crimson 29-15 down the stretch to secure a 72-61 win Friday afternoon.
Christine Clark once again led Harvard (3-2) with 23 points on 11-of-22 shooting. The junior added eight rebounds and two steals while playing 39-of-40 minutes. Victoria Lippert and Miriam Rutzen registered nine points apiece as the team shot 42.1 percent from the floor and 50.0 percent from three.
Kate Thompson scored a game-high 24 points for Michigan (4-1) while going 6-of-9 from beyond the arc. The Wolverines shot 50.0 percent on the day and scored 21 points off 11 Crimson turnovers.
Ali Curtis scored the game's first five points and Harvard looked in control early with a 7-0 lead less than two minutes in. Michigan stormed back with 10-unaswered points, however, to gain its first lead of the afternoon, 10-7, before a second 7-0 run which included another Curtis bucket put the Crimson back on top, 14-10.
The game continued to swing back-and-forth with Michigan going up 19-14 before Clark took the ball coast-to-coast for a 20-19 Harvard edge. The Wolverines regained the lead on the next possession and pushed the margin to 25-20, but six more points by Clark followed by a Melissa Mullins turnaround jumper gave the advantage back to the Crimson, 28-27.
Michigan rebounded to take its fourth lead of the half and Kate Thompson's three-pointer before the buzzer sent the Wolverine's into the break with a 36-29 margin. Clark led the Crimson with 10 points and six rebounds in the frame while Curtis added seven points and two steals. Harvard shot 42.3 percent through the first 20 minutes and was 3-of-7 from beyond the arc, but the Wolverines shot 48.4 percent and turned seven Crimson turnovers into 14 points to gain the upper hand.
Clark remained hot after the intermission and scored nine of the team's first 14 points to put Harvard up by one, 43-42. Harvard trailed by the same margin after Rutzen's jumper in the lane but the senior found Clark streaking down the court on the next possession for a breakaway layup and the lead. Harvard battled back from two more deficits with three-pointers by Emma Golen and Rutzen putting the Crimson back on top, but each time Michigan found an answer and eventually a 9-0 run put the Wolverines in front for good, 60-52.
Lippert scored five straight to keep the score close, 63-57, before a 7-0 stretch put the game out of reach.
Harvard will be back in action tomorrow as it faces Eastern Michigan at 4 p.m. in Ypsilanti, Mich.
Game Notes: Christine Clark has led Harvard in scoring each game this season, becoming the first Crimson to do so since Hannah Peltjo '04 led the team in six straight contests to open the 2002-03 campaign … Harvard has shot 50.0 percent or better from three-point range in three of five games this season.

O'Reilly Network articles about this topic:
When Linux Runs Out of Memory
(Linux DevCenter)
Memory is a precious commodity in computers. Generally the more you have, the better. Yet your application has to run alongside other applications, and each wants its own area of memory. What happens when there's not enough to go around? Mulyadi Santosa explores the memory management principles in the Linux kernel to explain how the Out of Memory killer works--and how to avoid it.
The Software of Space Exploration
Free software advocates often appeal to the open discovery, disclosure, and discussion practices of modern science as justification for sharing information. As software becomes more valuable for scientific research, free and open source software continue to grow in popularity. David Boswell looks at some of the software used in space exploration and usable by armchair scientists.
Processing XML with Xerces and SAX
It's rare to write an application these days and not run into the use of XML as a data interchange format. Perl, Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, and PHP all have good XML processing libraries. Where's the love for C++ applications? It's in Xerces, a capable open source library. Ethan McCallum shows how to use Xerces and C++ to process, manipulate, search, and write valid XML with the event-based and memory-lean SAX processing model.
RMS: The GNU GPL Is Here to Stay
Though some in the open source world claim that the GPL is now unnecessary, RMS and the Free Software Foundation are still working night and day to promote the idea of software freedom. Part of that is a revision to the popular GNU General Public License. Federico Biancuzzi recently chatted with Richard Stallman about the goals and plans and successes of the GPL.
Processing XML with Xerces and the DOM
It's rare to write an application these days and not run into the use of XML as a data interchange format. Perl, Java, Python, C#, Ruby, JavaScript, and PHP all have good XML processing libraries. Where's the love for C++ applications? It's in Xerces, a capable and open source library. Ethan McCallum shows how to use Xerces and C++ to process, manipulate, search, and write valid XML.
Simplify Network Programming with libCURL
(Linux DevCenter)
The curl command-line utility is a fantastic way to download data from all kinds of repositories via HTTP, FTP, LDAP, and more. It's not just a utility, though.

The Watchful Eye of FAM
(Linux DevCenter)
If you've ever written code waiting for a file to appear or change, you've likely done the select/sleep loop dance. How'd you like to never again experience that? SGI's File Alteration Monitor API can help. Ethan McCallum demonstrates how to watch files and directories on Linux, Irix, and probably your other favorite, Unix.
Using Shared Memory from PHP
(PHP DevCenter)
At some point, you'll need to communicate with another process. Unix systems support a powerful IPC mechanism called shared memory that you can use to share information between processes. Alexander Prohorenko explains the basic theory and demonstrates how to use it from PHP.
Open Source in Africa
Open source software is good for the developing world. Not only is the price often right, but the openness offers nascent developers the chance to learn from their peers despite geographic and cultural distances. Kwindla Hultman Kramer recently attended the Africa Source conference, a gathering of free and open source software developers and fans. Here are his thoughts.

KDE Bindings for Java
One of the most fascinating aspects of KDE is the speed with which new developments occur after each release. KDE 2.1 is out, and was celebrated in the traditional manner by adding lots of new features to the KDE development tree in CVS. One of the most exciting things to arrive was a very large commit to the kdebindings module (used for bindings between KDE's C++ code and other programing languages) which added bindings for the KDE and Qt libraries to the well known Java language. The author of the code, Richard Dale, does a Q&A with KDE.org regarding this new addition to KDE. [Source: kde.org]
Linux Kernel Module Programming Guide
This guide is for programmers who want to write modules to extend the Linux OS. It covers the 2.2 kernel. In some respects, the author says he wants to help those people who want to begin to play with the kernel as a way to understanding how it works.
The Cathedral and The Bazaar
This well-known essay in many ways is responsible for defining Open Source development and gaining recognition for its merits. Raymond contrasts the Cathedral-style development model of closed or proprietary software development with the open, distributed development model that have grown up around Linux and other open source projects. Raymond believes that the open source software model produces better software because openness gives access to the software at an early stage and the more people who have that access, the better chance of rooting out problems. "The Cathedral and The Bazaar" was originally presented at the Linux Kongress in May 1997.

New York Times' Book, Disunion, Features Several Washington College Opinionmakers
The school's scholars, faculty and alums have earned high praise as contributors to Disunion, a new compilation based upon the New York Times "Disunion" blog begun in 2010 to "write a new history" of the Civil War. The Kirkus Reviews this spring gave the collection a starred review, saying, "Each of the assembled scholars, historians, academics and journalists crafts unique insights and viewpoints, and through their collective dialogue, artistically contemplates the heft and enduring relevance of the Civil War."
Ted Widmer, former director of the College's C.V. Starr Center for the Study of the American Experience, edited the compilation, with help from the Times' Clay Risin, who is a former Starr Center Frederick Douglass Fellow. "We wanted to get away from the sense, all too easily found in textbooks, that history is a foreordained conclusion," Widmer writes in the introduction. "And we hoped to explore some of the lesser-known qualities of the war—its international impact, its broad geography and its huge range of different participants."
Adam Goodheart, the Hodson Trust-Griswold Director of the C. V. Starr Center, is the leadoff essayist/blogger, and his many contributions get special mention in the review as "consistent standouts." Washington College history Professor Rick Striner weighs in with pieces about President Lincoln's aborted plan for the federal government to buy all of Delaware's slaves, and the "great gamble" of the Emancipation Proclamation. Albin J. Kowalewski '07, now a public historian in Washington, DC, contributes a pair of essays, one called "The Star Spangled Bummer"—about the National Hymn Committee's attempts in 1861 to find a decent national anthem—and another, poignant and quirky, about an early Arctic explorer who left a unified country and returned to one "the same no more."
Disunion was released in mid-May by Black Dog & Leventhal Publishers, New York.

GREENVILLE, N.C. - East Carolina announced Friday that the Pirates have added North Carolina Central University to their 2014 non-conference schedule. The game, which will be played August 30 at Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium in Greenville, will mark ECU's third matchup against an in-state Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly known as Division I-AA, opponent since 2009.
In addition, East Carolina released tentative playing dates for its other three non-conference contests this fall. After meeting the Eagles in the season opener, the Pirates will travel to South Carolina and Virginia Tech on Sept. 6 and Sept. 13, respectively, before returning home to host North Carolina a week later on Sept. 20. However, those dates remain subject to change pending future television programming needs.
The single-game contract with N.C. Central represents the first meeting between the two programs, but follows earlier visits by then-FCS member Appalachian State in 2009 and 2012, which drew a combined attendance of over 92,000 to Dowdy-Ficklen Stadium.
The Eagles, who opened the 2013 campaign at ACC Coastal Division champion Duke, posted a 5-7 overall record and 3-5 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference ledger last fall. The contest in Greenville will also mark the debut of first-year head coach Jerry Mack, who was appointed to the lead the NCCU program on Dec. 19.
East Carolina, which compiled a 10-3 record and made its seventh bowl appearance in the last eight years in 2013, will open play in the American Athletic Conference this season after a 17-year membership in Conference USA. The Pirates' first AAC schedule will be released by the league at a later date.
Aug. 30 - North Carolina Central
Sept. 6 - at South Carolina
Sept. 13 - at Virginia Tech
Sept. 20 - North Carolina

For those who weren't born here, there's no telling when one will feel like a true Bostonian. For some it's their first day in the city — and for others it can take many years before one feels it's truly home.
For Euz Azevedo, that moment came well before Patriots Day this year, when terrorists exploded two bombs on Boylston Street, the second in front of his restaurant, Forum. Azevedo, who had come here from Brazil to go to college almost 15 years ago, suddenly was thrust into the spotlight, his fledgling restaurant a landmark for the violence and he himself a symbol for Boston's fighting spirit as he vowed to reopen as quickly as possible.
But Azevedo, 33, also embodies something very important in Boston's changing demographic profile: the foreign entrepreneur hellbent on reshaping the city. These businesspeople tend to see Boston with a different perspective, more like the city it's going to become than the place it is at the moment. They sense what Boston doesn't have, and what it needs as it grows more cosmopolitan.
Azevedo's Boston moment came when he decided, after receiving a business degree from Fisher College, that he didn't want to go back to Brazil. He saw the city's potential and wanted to be part of it. So he dived into the restaurant business. Azevedo got an investor visa, and now owns three other venues besides Forum, which he just reopened earlier this month. And Azevedo is just getting started: The Marathon bombings, while deeply scarring, are not slowing him down.
Luckily for Azevedo, his family had the means to give him a start in the restaurant business. He knew nothing about it, and his career is a study in trial and error — and sheer determination.
His first lesson: Through a restaurant broker he stumbled across a rundown Faneuil Hall bar, The Tap. He bought it.
"I was there 110 hours a week for the first four months," he says. "I'm talking about going to bed at 3:30 a.m. and waking up at 7 a.m. and going right back. It was a lot of learning."
Within a year, he had doubled the revenue. Soon he had bought a pizzeria on Cambridge Street by Beacon Hill, which, after some false starts, became Griddler's Burgers & Dogs. Then he found himself eyeing the former Icarus space in the South End, where he started Noche, which had a brief run before he eventually closed it. He plans to open a new spot, Blind Tiger, towards the end of the year.
When Azevedo opened Forum in 2011, it was a struggle too. But this year, coming out of a snowy winter, he was looking forward to a vibrant spring season. Then the bombings occurred, with one going off just steps from the restaurant's front door.
After four months, and nary a penny from insurance, Azevedo reopened, but with a clear determination to reinvent Forum.
"I didn't want it to look the same as before," he says. "I wanted people to see a new restaurant. A positive vibe! I didn't want people who were here that day to come back and relive that day. I didn't want their trauma to come back."
So Azevedo invested more, on top of keeping seven salaried staff on the payroll for the months the place was closed and despite the so-far fruitless negotiations with insurers.
His father, an engineer and the CEO of a successful construction company in Venezuela, is his role model. "He knows there is no better teacher than experience. You're not going to read about this in a book or in school. You have to experience it, you have to fail, you have to be humble and recognize failures, and you have to know and play by the rules and then you win."
Tall, thin, and soft-spoken, Azevedo is nonetheless fiercely ambitious. "I want to open hotels. I want to run restaurants in casinos, cruise ships. Why not?" In fact, he had originally wanted to open a roof deck in Forum, but it never materialized.
"I want to open a pool in Boston," he tells me decidedly, adding that his vision includes a pool with a bottom floor that elevates and turns into a slick dancing floor. "It's beyond comprehension how Boston does not have an awesome pool. People go nuts over Bokx in Newton — that's a bathtub. Or the pool at Colonnade?! Get out of here. I will open a pool in Boston and it will be adults only, no kids. And it will be Brazilian style."Marcela García is a special correspondent at Telemundo Boston and a contributor to the Boston Business Journal.

Taylor's return will begin with Saturday's T20 international against England in Auckland, but like Kevin Pietersen's re-integration with England after the textgate saga, you sense it will start as an uneasy peace.
That was certainly the impression Taylor gave when he described his relationship with Mike Hesson, the head coach who sacked him as captain of the T20 and 50-over sides, as "a work in progress," when he spoke to the media at Eden Park in Auckland.
"I obviously had a meeting the other day with Mike Hesson, and it went well, but it's a work in progress", said Taylor, who resigned the Test captaincy in the aftermath of losing the other jobs.
"I just want to get out there and play some cricket. Until I play, I won't know if the last few months will have any fall out. I've got friends in the team and I'm looking forward to playing for them, and obviously the management and the country as well."
Taylor admitted that his sacking hadn't taken him by surprise yet it seemed messy enough to light the blue touch paper of indignation among New Zealand's former cricketers after he was replaced in all three formats by Brendon McCullum, another fine player and stalwart of the team.
Martin Crowe, arguably New Zealand's finest ever batsman and certainly one of its more progressive captains, burnt his team blazer in disgust at Taylor's treatment, an extreme gesture given the latter's poor record in charge.
Taylor is a fine batsman but as captain he had mostly overseen failure. Since taking over from Daniel Vettori in June 2011 he had won four out of 13 Tests (two of the victories against Zimbabwe), six out of 17 ODIs (five of them against Zimbabwe) and seven out of 15 T20 internationals (five against Zimbabwe and Bangladesh).
Results like that do not present a strong case for staying in charge but Taylor's supporters are not especially critical of him being sacked, just the manner of it and the parochialism they believe to being behind it.
But while it is true that Hesson and McCullum were coach and captain of Otago, the most southerly first-class team here, nepotism remains unproven.
Taylor is clear that he bears no grudges against McCullum. The pair have shared a dressing-room for the past seven years and if there is a rivalry, it is over who is the best batsman.
"We haven't had a meeting to clear the air but then I don't think there was anything wrong with our relationship in the first place," said Taylor. "I can't speak for anyone else; I can only say what I see myself, and I haven't seen anything untoward against me."
Even so, you sense that Taylor is still smarting over what happened but, team man that he is, he wants it to work out well for all concerned.
New Zealand cricket needs all its potential to be realised at once if it is to compete against teams like England, Australia and South Africa, and warring factions in the dressing-room undermine that.
"I just want to be out there and play some cricket. I'll bat wherever I'm put, and sit wherever I'm sat. I don't know how good I'll be after being away from the international scene for a few months, but I'll give it my best. I hope I can just go out there and enjoy myself."

Submission + - Soyuz ballistic re-entry 300 miles off-course
call-me-kenneth writes: Soyuz TMA-11, carrying a crew of three returning from the ISS, unexpectedly followed a high-G ballistic re-entry trajectory and ended up landing 300 miles off-course. The crew, including Commander Peggy Whitson and cosmonaut Yuri Malenchenko, are reportedly in good health. Soyuz capsules have previously saved the lives of the crew even after severe malfunctions that might have lead to the loss of a less robust vehicle.

Speculation over O'Neill's future as Black Cats boss has rumbled on for most of the season as the club's fortunes have nosedived. Sunderland were in the Premier League's bottom three until they beat fellow strugglers Reading, only their third victory of the entire campaign, and few expect them to record a first win over United at Old Trafford since 1968 when the two sides meet on Saturday. But Ferguson does not believe such struggles should lead to talk about O'Neill's qualities. For the United boss, O'Neill's CV speaks for itself.
"He was asked a question last week which was absolutely ridiculous, about whether he still had self-belief," said Ferguson.
"Martin O'Neill has won three titles with Celtic, he's taken them to a UEFA Cup final, he's been at Aston Villa, he's been at Leicester City. It was a silly question, an absolute insult because he is an outstanding manager."
Not that Ferguson was too impressed with Sunderland supporters on the last day of last season. Having beaten the Wearsiders, United looked as though they would be champions as they waited on the pitch, only for Sergio Aguero's injury-time goal to snatch the title away for Manchester City. Gloating from the home fans was immediate and Ferguson was visibly irritated at the time. Wayne Rooney followed up in his autobiography by claiming he would look for the Sunderland fixtures with added interest this term. However, time seems to have brought a measure of perspective to the situation. Ferguson still cannot understand the reaction, but all he is interested in now is preserving his side's six-point lead at the top of the table.
"It was a disappointing reaction when you think of the number of players we've given Sunderland over the years. Jonny Evans and Danny Simpson got them promoted a few years back," he added.
"It's just fans. It wasn't malicious, it was them enjoying the moment.
"Revenge won't come into anything tomorrow. Winning the game is more important to us because after the impetus we got from last week, it's time for us to really kick on."
Ferguson admitted the manner in which that day unfolded hurt badly though and he has no wish to experience it again. United have certainly made a decent start, their win over City opening a handy lead on their major title rivals. However, after losing an eight-point advantage in their final six games last term, Ferguson is taking nothing for granted.
"I am happy with six points, it's their challenge to try and catch us," he said.
"But it's not such a healthy lead. "The key is whether we can keep all our players fit.
"If we do that, with the squad we have, I will be really happy.
"First of all we've got to get through this heavy Christmas programme.
"If we are still top of the league when we've navigated that we will be delighted."

CAIRO — An Egyptian fact-finding mission determined that Hosni Mubarak watched the uprising against him unfold through a live TV feed at his palace, despite his later denial that he knew the extent of the protests and crackdown against them, a member of the mission said Wednesday.
The mission's findings increase pressure for a retrial of the 84-year-old ousted president, who is already serving a life sentence for the deaths of 900 protesters. But its report could hold both political gains and dangers for his successor, Mohammed Morsi.
A new prosecution of Mubarak would be popular, since many Egyptians were angered that he was convicted only for failing to stop the killing of protesters, rather than for ordering the crackdown.
But the report also implicates the military and security officials in protester deaths. Any move to prosecute them could spark a backlash from powerful generals and others who still hold positions under Morsi's government.
Rights activists said they would watch carefully how aggressively Morsi pursues the evidence, detailed by a fact-finding mission he commissioned.
''This report should be part of the democratic transformation of Egypt and restructuring of security agencies,'' said Ahmed Ragheb, a member of the commission and a rights lawyer. ''At the end of the day, there will be no national reconciliation without revealing the truth, and ensuring accountability.''
Morsi, an Islamist from the Muslim Brotherhood, asked the commission to send the report to the chief prosecutor Talaat Abdullah to investigate new evidence, his office said Wednesday.
Morsi recently appointed Abdullah to replace a Mubarak holdover who many considered an obstacle to strongly prosecuting former regime officials. Some judges criticized the appointment as a political move to continue to wield leverage over the prosecutor post.
The case will test whether Abdullah will conduct a thorough process of holding officials responsible. Some rights activists were already disappointed that Morsi did not empower the fact-finding commission itself to turn the investigations into prosecutions and avoid political influence.
The 700-page report on protester deaths during the past two years was submitted Wednesday to Morsi by the commission, made up of judges, rights lawyers, and representatives from the Interior Ministry and intelligence, as well as families of victims.
Morsi formed the commission soon after coming to office in June as Egypt's first freely elected president after campaign promises to order retrials of former regime figures if new evidence was revealed.
The trial of Mubarak and other figures from his regime left the public deeply unconvinced justice was done. The prosecution was limited in scope, focusing only on the first few days of the 18-day uprising and on two narrow corruption cases. Lawyers have since criticized the case as shoddy, based primarily on evidence collected by widely hated police in the days following the uprising.
In the verdicts last summer, Mubarak and his two sons were acquitted on corruption charges. His former interior minister was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for complicity in the crackdown, while six top security aides were acquitted for lack of evidence.
Mubarak was convicted of failing to prevent the deaths of protesters during the uprising, which ended with his fall Feb. 11, 2011. He was sentenced to life in prison. Many Egyptians believed he should have been held responsible for ordering the killings, in addition to corruption, police abuse, and political wrongdoing under his regime.
One key new finding by the panel was that Mubarak closely monitored the crackdown.
Ragheb said state TV had designated an encrypted satellite TV station that fed live material from cameras installed in and around Tahrir Square directly to Mubarak's palace throughout clashes between protesters and security forces.

But it does leave the door wide open for five-star alphabet contortionist Uncle Robert to seize the job when he arrives from Columbus.
Ugh, Albert Lin'd
What it is, what it was, and what it shall be.
This is a bit off topic, but I was doing a set at the Ice House a few weeks ago and some comic actually tried to pass this 24 astronauts thing off as his own bit. He even told it wrong. I could have said something to him, but since he was eating it pretty badly there was kinda no point.
No idea, but every time I see your avatar I want to nuke it.
I don't get it
Well ya know, OSU fans aren't really known for their intelligence...
I just got what you said...Funny.
I love football, too. But there's a line between loving your team and being a mouth-breathing goober. I wonder if the dearly departed was sent to his reward wearing a necklace of buckeye nuts.
This is funny and pisses me off. Conflicted.
Maybe the deceased suggested the pose?
Maybe it was his last request. If not, that's kind of ridiculous.
Having said that (anybody see the new Curb?) at this point in my life I'd consider being buried in some M swag. Or painted maize and blue from head to toe. Oh that's an idea!
Was buried in all M gear and The Victors was sang.
I bet your family didn't have a ear-to-ear grin standing next to the deceased, stay classy ohio...
I plan to put some of my father's ashes on the field at the Big House at the spot where Desmond struck the pose so he will never miss a game, hopefully this will be many many years from now
My epitaph:
"He was always telling people to GO BLUE that nobody batted an eye when he turned blue. Whoops."
Woody was a history major.
I'm speechless. I mean, I can't even joke about it because all the jokes have been done over and over again, because this stuff just keeps comin gup
is plum loco.
IF I was filthy enough to be a bucknut lover, this was my funeral, and those pigs dressed in clothing were my relatives I would be returning to haunt said family.
I like that they did this. Get past the OSU fan part...a funeral should include some celebration of the life of the deceased. I like it.
A celebration is one thing...I just can't imagine a situation where I would want a picture of a dead body. I'd prefer to remember my father as alive and not lying motionless in a casket. But, that's just me.
Not sure about Ohio tradition but where I'm from you wear dark clothing and usually a tie and jacket at funerals.
These folks are dressed for a carnival or fireworks.
Please don't presume to pose me as anything.
That needs updated to include worship of JT. You could take space from the PBR thirst. A cold PBR on a hot day really isn't that bad in a pinch. Did I just admit that in writing?
look at this fucking hipster!
A cold PBR on a hot day, is not the worst thing I can think of. If the family thought it was ok, I can live with it. Was it odd, yes.
in ohio they could have done much worse to the body after a few PBRs.
This might be the least suprising thing i have ever seen...
Disturbing but not surprising.
When I clicked on the thread, I was really hoping the corpse was one of the Os.
the dead guy being posed as the "I" was named "Roy Miracle".
Really? And all the people named in the article have the same last name? This is some wierd stuff.
I assume this is part of that "three days in Ohio" campaign, getting to participate in disturbingly morbid Buckeye funeral rites......
you pass the Ohio Historical Society, near Crew Stadium. Among other things, the sign on their giant, highway-side marquee proclaims, "Let's Explore OHIO!" No, historical society. Let's not.
I will be doing this very thing - we're taking the kids to Great Wolf Lodge in Sandusky. I will be the one in Wolverine gear smiling awkwardly as the Buckeye fans figure out what they would like to do to me....
I doubt they will say much or even look at you funny, I took my daughter to the Columbus Zoo (yes that Columbus) last week for the first time. Of course I was decked out in my Michigan gear no one said a word. I even shot the shit with an OSU fan about the price of beer
I am debating going down to Toledo this weekend.
Looks like somehting WWF's Jimmy Hart would wear.
Finally, OHIO! Why does 1 out of the 4 people participating have to be dead for it to be spelled right?
but these people have just lowered the bar for buckeyes.
I think I've made my distaste for all things scarlet and gray pretty clear, but I just can't find any reason to be the least bit pissed about this. It's sorta like people from Ann Arbor getting buried in a Michigan shirt or sweatshirt. I actually think it is quite funny, and applaud the family for not having a stick up its collective ass.
Who can ever say they went to a funeral and had fun? For an Ohio fan, there apparently isn't anything more fun than singing the "don't give a damn" song. Does the photo look stupid? Yes. Does that make it bad? It depends on who's doing the judging.
At my funeral, the officiant is going to lead us in a round of The Victors before reading a passage Schembechler 3:17.
I will definitely have a round of "The Victors", then someone in the back will start chanting, "THE TEAM! THE TEAM!"
just three more letters to go and we'll be done with them.
Why be pissed when the metaphor needs no caption?
Still the life of the party.
I don't know if I would ever approach anything like that, but I will be buried in some Michigan gear, and have my class ring on.
This is what it's going to look like when the NCAA leaves Columbus.
Grim Reaper could have dotted the I.
This was actually taken after the Jim Harbaugh "guaranteed"1986 26-24 Michigan victory over nOSU. Alot of buckeyes died that day!
The guy in the casket isn't dead; they're just taking turns getting into the casket for a photo after the latest football reruiting news.

Dish Networks looks forward to 'seat at the table' in wireless
Doesn't have the capacity to go it alone as a 4G supplier...
As LightSquared continues to battle for the right to deploy LTE in its mobile satellite spectrum, the other major holder of such frequencies, Dish Network, has remained enigmatic. However, on its third quarter earnings call, chairman Charlie Ergen enlarged somewhat on the firm's plans, saying it would use its proposed LTE-Advanced network to support mobile video services to complement its existing offerings.
Dish gained S-Band spectrum when it acquired two bankrupt mobile satellite operators – DBSD North America and TerreStar – for a total of $2.775bn. Ergen said the licences would give the firm "a seat at the table" in wireless. "We believe that the wireless business is a place where, if we're in the video business, we need to be more than fixed, we need to be a mobile video as well," he said.
Having acquired the spectrum, Dish called on the FCC to grant it a waiver – similar to LightSquared's – allowing it to run terrestrial services in satellite bands. Its 40MHz of S-Band holdings do not have the interference issues with GPS which plague LightSquared, and Dish sought to impress the regulator by promising to move directly to LTE-Advanced, potentially leapfrogging other US operators, and supporting rural broadband targets.
However, some analysts remain convinced Ergen sees the spectrum mainly as an investment and a way to gain influence over other players. It does not have enough capacity to go it alone for long as a 4G supplier, but could partner with another carrier such as Sprint to increase its overall impact on the telecoms and media market.
Ergen said he would be able to give more detail of the plans once the FCC had concluded its review of the satellite acquisitions and given permission for the DBSD and TerreStar licences to be transferred. He hinted that partnerships would be necessary, even while insisting that Dish wanted to control its own wireless destiny and that it could build a wireless business alone, with the spectrum it has.
"I think the path that's got the greatest chance of success would be to partner with others," he said. "And there could be a variety of different people that could fit that bill, some in the business today and some that aren't in the business today but would have similar motivations to us."

text: Most sports enthusiasts have heard of the ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). ACL injuries by big name athletes, like NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III and NBA point guard Derrick Rose, keep the ligament in the news, but even with increased exposure and advancements in medical knowledge, not all is completely understood about the human body. Believe it or not, ligaments are still being discovered and studied.

Ryan Moore (jockey, Giovanni Boldini, 2nd) – "We had a great trip. We were able to save ground. He ran a little green. Maybe a little more experience would have helped today. I saw the other horse (the 4) coming for a long way, I didn't think I had the race won after I put the five (Bobby's Kitten) away.
Aidan O'Brien (trainer, Giovanni Boldini, 2nd) – "He's run a great race. I have no complaints. He was just run out of it again."
Chad Brown (trainer, Bobby's Kitten, beaten favorite finished 3rd) – "I'm very disappointed. He's only two (years old) going out in 1:09 and change – that's ridiculous."
Javier Castellano (jockey, Bobby's Kitten, beaten favorite 3rd) – "He broke sharp out of the gate, he felt good. Unfortunately, he ran off a little bit and he never settled. "
Joel Rosario (jockey, Bon Accord, 4th) – "He ran a big race. At the top of the stretch he was going pretty well, but those three horses in front of him just took off."
William Buick (jockey, Wilshire Boulevard, 9th) – "He was traveling well. They went very quick, but a couple of horses came across him on the turn and that was it."
This is Mike Smith's second winning Breeders' Cup ride of the day and his record 19th Breeders' Cup championship winner.

Submission + - IBM creates learning, brain-like synaptic CPU (extremetech.com)
MrSeb writes: "After six years, significant investment by DARPA and IBM, and millions of man hours, researchers at IBM have created two silicon chips that are fundamentally brain-like in their operation. Built using IBM's 45nm process, these chips are still constructed out of transistors, but they're organized into a novel arrangement that mimics the neurons and synapses of animal brains. Both of the chips have 256 digital neurons that operate at 10MHz, and standard chip features like memory, communication controllers, and so on. One of the chips has 262,144 human-programmable synapses — but the other chip has 65,356 learning synapses, which are connected in a crossbar array for a total of almost 17 million different connections."
