John Gruber of Daring Fireball has put up an interesting post debating marketshare vs. profit-share numbers in the good old Android vs. iPhone feud. He comes to the reasonable conclusion that the criteria for defining "winning" can vary, and that not all are equally valid. To wit -- money is the way you keep score in business.
If we count all the money in Apple's pockets from iOS devices vs. all the money in Google's pockets from Android devices (and throw in ODMs like HTC, Samsung, and Motorola for good measure), Apple's clearly winning. Heck, if we count the amount of customer satisfaction, the amount of iPhones sold vs. any other handset,, etc. you can find any number of reasons to rationalize the iPhone as winning.
And that's fine. But I'd argue it's wrong. Apple isn't winning.
Apple's already won.
Apple and the iPhone won years ago, when Google hit the brakes on their BlackBerry and Windows Mobile Standard competitor and began cloning the iPhone, when RIM and Microsoft stumbled their way towards Storm and QNX, and Windows Phone, when Palm went webOS, and Nokia burned their platform.
The smartphone now looks, feels, and acts nothing like it did before the iPhone, and that's because of the iPhone. Reviews now compare, contrast, and dub "killer" every new hero phone on the market to only one thing, and that's because the iPhone redefined the market.
And in tablets, the enormity of the victory is even more ridiculous. 18 months after launch it still has not a single rival. No one is breathing down the iPad's neck. No one is even breathing in the same hemisphere.
Whatever happens in the future, whether Android becomes the Windows of mobile, whether Rim or Microsoft surge back to the top spot, whether Apple trips and falls and one day becomes a shadow of its current success, Apple has set the standard and shaped the industry.
Every time a finger pinches or swipes a big capacitive touch screen, every time the modern web is functionally rendered, every time an app is easily purchased from a built-in store on any device, it concedes that the battle now can only be fought for the next generation.
Because for this generation, Apple has already won.
Coda: We live in a world where the flagship front-facing QWERTY BlackBerry has a capacitive touch screen, where Microsoft has a functional mobile web browser, and where every platform has an app store -- and Android has several. If you don't think that's because Apple won this generation, you're nuts.

BioHub needed a new web page design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 97 designs submitted by 19 freelance designers.
BioHub is an online platform the will improve the communication, collaboration and transparency between the research community and commercial providers of biological reagents.
BioHub allows researchers to publicly evaluate commercial research antibodies using a peer-review model aimed to leverage the knowledge and experience held within the community.
This model facilitates the ongoing development of a community resource that other researchers can use to locate the right antibody (from the right manufacturer) for their needs.
Generates revenue through offering commercial suppliers premium listings, specialty online marketing services and market research.
BioHub is targeting lab researchers, including postdoctoral fellows, graduate students and lab technicians working on human disease prevention and treatment, as a significant portion of its user base. Lab researchers are those individuals directly using antibodies in their work and have personal experience using both high and low quality antibody products.
Pharma companies, Biotech companies (specifically antibody manufacturers and suppliers).
I an in need of 2 page mock ups to act as the front pages for our BioHub-Online.org and BioHub-Online.com sites.
Each should have certain similarities (header and nav bar). The body is where the variety can be.
Colours should be similar. Orange, Blue. Gray. White. Black. I feel like the current site is too basic. I would like the two sites to have different colour combinations to visually differentiate it.
You can check out our site by logging in under:

Another thing you might want to consider is working for a year or two before law school. Many law schools will focus less on your undergraduate gpa the longer you have been out of school on the assumption that you have done some maturing while out of school and in the working world.
Yeah, this really gets to the heart of what I've been wondering. Should I even bother to get some kind of job or take a few classes to somehow beef up my application, or just go for it with what I've got. I'm being realistic in thinking theres not much one can do to compensate for such terrible GPA except to do amazing on the LSAT.
Thanks for resonding! :D

FORT COLLINS — Definitely, there's a comfort level.
You can see it in the way Garrett Grayson carries himself these days. A bit more free and easy, at home with himself and his standing with his teammates. The senior quarterback is free to joke a little bit more, show more of his personality. You can see it in the Twitter banter he had back and forth with Bernard Blake when Blake shot out a photo of himself in the locker room wearing Grayson's jersey, proclaiming the quarterback to be his favorite player. And when sending out congratulations to former center Weston Richburg on his first NFL game, he ends it with the hashtag: itoucheditfirst.
Naturally, he's not free from barbs inside his locker room. One can't be when he breaks his clavicle moving his couch. There's just too many jokes there to let pass.
But it's all good, and why shouldn't it be? After establishing the school record with 3,696 passing yards as a junior and tying the school mark with 23 touchdown passes, there should be a comfort level that goes beyond knowing it won't be another fall camp spent fighting for the starting job.
"Coming off of last year, the way he finished, he should carry himself with some confidence," Colorado State coach Jim McElwain said. "At that position, let's not bleed the line of confidence to arrogance. He's definitely not arrogant, but the way he carries himself on the field in command of the huddle with the guys around him, helping the O-linemen with the Mike points and those types of things, you can tell he's taken it to a new level and not maybe relying on Weston Richburg to do those things."
But no longer are the compliments limited to the borders of Fort Collins. What Grayson was able to do last year, especially the final three-fourths of the season, increased his stock around the Mountain West. It's not just coaches, either, the guys who are prone to say nice things about the opponents they face. The guys who will try to stop his progress this season are looking at him in a different light.
"I think you have to look at him as an elite quarterback in the league," Air Force linebacker Connor Healy said. "He's proven himself under the fire, he knows what he's doing. He's a good player."
Grayson: By the Numbers
3,696 — His school-record passing total from last year.
23 — His TD passes, which tied the single-season mark
297 — His record for completions in a season from 2013.
5,184 — His career passing yards, leaving him 1,958 shy of that mark
32 — His career TD passes, just 19 shy of that program record
Also: He currently ranks 10th in career passing yards, completions and attempts, but second in career passing completion percentage (62.9).
But it took some time. It was a more mature Grayson who took the field later in the 2013 season, the product of lessons learned. After first breaking his clavicle as a sophomore, he sank into a bit of a shell, and both he and the coaching staff say that wasn't the posture to take.
Even after earning the starting job last year, the season didn't come easy. There were struggles in the first four games, leading Grayson to do some soul searching.
Which led to him turning things around in a major way. He found himself watching more film, preparing better. The result was six 300-yard passing games the final nine weeks of the season.
As the offensive numbers started to take off for the Rams, Grayson started to take more of a leadership role. Now his command of the huddle and the offense as a whole has reached a new level.
His opponents see that, too.
"I think they're going to be a big challenge, and I think Grayson has a lot to do with that," Boise State defensive back Corey Bell said. "I think he runs that whole group and gets them all together, and I think he's one of those guys who should be up there when you're talking about conference players, top players.
"He's right up there with (Utah State's) Chuckie Keeton, (Nevada's Cody) Fajardo and (BSU's Grant) Hedrick. I think he's right up there with all those guys. I can't rank them, they're all top 1 right now. He's definitely one of those guys, a competitor, a good player and a good athlete as well."
The thought from the Colorado State locker room is it's about time.
While the quarterback job remained up for grabs deep into fall camp last year, in the background, the players said they always knew Grayson was their guy. When times were tough early in the season, they stayed behind him because they knew there was something there.
"It don't surprise me at all," CSU senior receiver Charles Lovett said. "We see him every day in practice, on and off the field. We see how he studies, we see how he prepares for the game, so no, it really doesn't surprise me. I feel like he doesn't get talked about enough, honestly."
But word is spreading. Grayson was able to meet his idol, Peyton Manning, at the Manning Passing Academy this summer. He didn't just listen, he learned and came back with ideas and new habits to incorporate into his preparation.
Grayson said when they did drills, Manning did them, too. And when he did something wrong, he went back and did it again. So Grayson asked offensive coordinator Dave Baldwin if the Rams could do that, as well.
Then there was the video study. Grayson said the figure is 80 hours a week for Manning. Baldwin said that Grayson improved in that regard last year, but now he has the feeling his senior quarterback really understands.
He also has a new team-issued iPad to put to good use.
"Usually after practices you go home and you sit on your bed and try and relax and get some sleep, and now you can have it right there in front of your face, watch as much film as you want," Grayson said. "That definitely made everything easier. Now during the season I won't have to come back to the school to watch film. I can go home, relax in the comfort of my home and watch everything I need to watch."
The problem with being known sometimes can be the sense one has arrived, that there's no more work to do. The CSU coaching staff doesn't sense that at all from Grayson, and neither do his teammates.
They've seen him more take charge even more, even enter a room like Manning explained a quarterback should — like he's the one in charge. And just like Manning taught him, Grayson said there's always more work to be done.
Because while it's nice to be noticed, it's better to win games.
"I'm humbled and honored by it, very thankful," he said. "I don't want to get complacent I guess with it. Anytime all that stuff starts coming around people can get complacent, and nothing good ever comes from it. I want to keep building on what I did last year, and hopefully I can get some more praise, have a good season this year.
"Like I said, I'm very thankful to be mentioned with Chuckie and Cody and all those guys, and last year, with (Fresno State's Derek) Carr and (San Jose State's David) Fales, all of them. Like I said, it's very humbling to be mentioned with all of them, and I'm just ready to get going for the season."

Please note: You are viewing an archived Bucknell University news story. It is possible that information found on this page has become outdated or inaccurate, and links and images contained within are not guaranteed to function correctly.
For as long as anyone can remember, each summer night at dusk the skies over Juniata County, Pa., would come alive, as countless little brown bats fluttered through the mouths of caves and abandoned mines to feed.
About six years ago, that nightly ritual went silent. Thousands of bats, sick with a fungal infection that has now spread throughout much of North America, died off in droves. But a small contingent of 500 or 600 bats has held on, surviving in a Juniata County bat box monitored by state wildlife managers. Understanding what enabled those bats to survive may be key to solving the mystery of the infection, called white-nose syndrome, and saving threatened bat populations throughout the country.
Bucknell University is uniquely equipped to tackle that investigation, and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has awarded a pair of Bucknell investigators a nearly $350,000 grant to take on the challenge.
"The remnant populations of bats left throughout the northeastern United States are the hope for the future of bat populations here, and our ability to understand how natural selection has acted on them is critical," said Professor DeeAnn Reeder, biology, a bat expert and one of two recipients of the grant.
Reeder has been studying white-nose syndrome since it was uncovered in 2006, and led the first federally funded field study of infected North American bats. Thanks in part to her efforts, scientists now have a much clearer understanding of the disease's pathogen, the ominously named fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans, and the ways it acts upon infected bats. In her latest investigation, Reeder will draw on the expertise of immunologist and biology professor Ken Field to ask how bats like those in Juniata County might survive the epidemic.
"We're not sure if it's something the bats can pass on to their offspring — a genetic component — or if it's an adaptation they've made to the fungus being present that allows them to survive," Field said. "If we find that the bats can mount a protective immune response, we could try to increase that response by vaccinating them. It's not feasible to vaccinate millions of bats in the wild, but we could target endangered species or particularly vulnerable populations."
The disease is quickly rendering more and more bat colonies vulnerable. The first North American bat with white-nose syndrome was discovered in 2006 outside Howe Caverns near Albany, N.Y., and since then the fungus has spread to 25 states and five Canadian provinces. The disease is common throughout Europe and Asia, but doesn't kill off bats there in large numbers.
As Field explains, the white-nose fungus thrives in cold environments, and only negatively impacts bats that hibernate. For reasons not yet known, the infection causes some bats to wake more frequently during hibernation.
"They may arouse two or three times more often than they would without the fungal infection," Field said. "That's enough to deplete their fat reservoirs before they reach the spring, when there's food available to eat."
While most bats survive the first winter after infection, few can outlast the second, Field said, and the smallest bats are the most vulnerable. The common little brown bat has been particularly hard hit, with infected colonies losing an average of 90 to 95 percent of their members, but even heftier species such as the big brown bat have been significantly impacted, losing 40 to 60 percent in infected populations. Considering that bats make up 20 percent of all mammals by species, and that each bat can consume twice its body weight in insects in a single night of feeding, it isn't hard to image the disease having a massive ecological impact.
"We do not have accurate estimates of either past or current insect populations," Reeder said. "However, bats are major insect predators and perform significant ecosystem services. Some have predicted that the insecticide value of bats is in the millions of dollars."
To determine what has allowed remaining Pennsylvania bats to survive, the researchers will perform both genetic expression analysis and behavioral observation on three groups of bats they will collect over the next two years.
The first set will be survivors of a Pennsylvania colony that has already experienced a massive die-off. The second will come from Michigan, which saw its first white-nose infections last year, and the third group will come from Montana, where the disease has not yet penetrated bat populations. The researchers will travel to each location to collect bats for the study, using nets to ensnare bats as they exit cave mouths and diving deep underground to capture them by hand.
They will bring the creatures back to Bucknell's Robert L. Rooke Science Center, which is uniquely equipped for studying bats. Tucked behind three locked but otherwise innocuous-looking doors inside Rooke are the University's bat caves — light and temperature controlled rooms containing flight cages roughly 6 feet high by 6 feet wide and 10 to 20 feet long — which allow the bats to fly freely and provide places to sleep. During winter months, the bats will be moved into 10 hibernation chambers. Custom built with input from Reeder, the chambers simulate the low temperature and high humidity of a cave in winter and allow the researchers to observe bat activity with infrared cameras.
Bucknell students will play important roles in monitoring bat behavior in both environments. They will also aid the project by performing gene expression analyses, hand-feeding the animals (only students vaccinated for rabies are allowed to handle bats) and even accompanying their professors on field expeditions to caves.
"Bucknell is unique in that students are not only welcomed, but encouraged, to join research labs as early as their freshman year," said Beth Rogers, a summer research intern who hopes to accompany Field and Reeder to Michigan. "Undergraduates are valued as scientists and given the opportunity to do real research beside their professors."
Reeder will also be providing bat tissue samples to researchers at the University of Akron and Ohio State University, who will study whether mycoviruses, or viruses that infect fungi, can fight the white-nose fungus. She is named as a collaborator on that project, which received a Fish and Wildlife Service grant totaling nearly $225,000.
She and Field hope the results of theirs and other projects will lead to an effective way to combat white-nose syndrome, and bring life back to the evening skies.
"We have made enormous strides in understanding white-nose syndrome from the perspective of both the host and the pathogen," Reeder said. "Now we need to take the information that we have learned and make wise management decisions for remaining bats."

Legendary jazz musician Donald Byrd passed away on Monday Feb. 4, according to a report on Amoeba.
The news was given by Byrd's nephew, Alex Bugnon. Bugnon says the family tried to keep the death a secret and felt it was "unnecessary" to do so anymore. The cause of death is still unknown.
Byrd's sound had a huge impact on hip-hop with Nas sampling his song 'Flight Time' on 'New York State of Mind' and A Tribe Called Quest sampling 'Think Twice' on 'Footprints.'
R&B records that have taken from Byrd's catalog include Destiny's Child's 'Free,' which sampled 'Whistler,' and Erykah Badu's 'Sometimes…,' which samples his 'I Feel Like Loving You Today.'
The entertainer was a lifelong lover and learner of music. While he was a masters student at the Manhattan School of Arts, Byrd joined Art Blakey's Jazz Messengers group, replacing Clifford Brown, who had passed away.
He left the group in 1956, and went on to perform with popular artists Thelonious Monk, John Coltrane and later, Herbie Hancock. In the 1970s, he began a successful transition into recording jazz fusion and R&B records. During this period, Byrd's album, 'Black Byrd,' released in 1973, on Blue Note records, became the label's highest-selling album.
Byrd taught at Rutgers University, Hampton University, Howard University, New York University and Columbia University, where he received his doctorate in 1982.

April 1, 2009
NEW HAVEN, Conn. - The No. 72 Bulldogs will kick off their Ivy League season this weekend when they host Princeton and Penn Friday and Saturday. Yale will look to improve upon its 10-5 record.
Last Saturday, Yale defeated St. John's 5-2. Prior to that, the Bulldogs went 4-2 on the California trip to earn its first national ranking of the season. Yale defeated then No. 64 UC Irvine and current No. 64 Nevada on the trip. Both of the Bulldogs' losses in the Golden State came at the hands of ranked opponents: No. 54 Pacific and No. 62 Utah.
History Lesson
Last season, Yale split its matches against Penn and Princeton. Against the Quakers, the Bulldogs lost 6-1. Connor Dawson came up with Yale's lone victory in the loss. The Bulldogs pulled out a 4-3 win over Princeton last season. In the match, Jeff Dawson, Connor Dawson, and Calvin Bennett won at No. 1, 3, and 4 singles, respectively. Yale also won the doubles point.
Scouting Penn
To date, Penn has posted a 9-7 record. Last Saturday, the Quakers opened their Ivy League season with a 4-3 loss to Princeton. Like Yale, Penn made a spring trip to California. The Quakers posted a 2-2 record on this trip.
Scouting Princeton
Princeton is 9-6 so far this season. The Tigers opened their Ivy League season with a 4-3 victory over Penn last Saturday at home. The Tigers have beaten ranked opponents Utah and UC Irvine so far this season. Princeton has also defeated Furman, a team Yale lost to.
2009 Schedule
Yale's 2009 schedule includes a trip to the west coast during spring break. During this trip, the Bulldogs will face three ranked teams. Yale will battle No. 62 UC Santa Barbara, No. 63 UC Irvine, and No. 66 Utah. Also on their schedule, the Bulldogs will face No. 69 Furman and No. 48 Harvard.
Nine Returning Players
Nine players return from last year's squad, led by senior captain Jeff Dawson. Dawson had an impressive fall, advancing to the semifinals at the ITA Northeast Regional Championships at Cullman-Heyman. His younger brother, junior Connor Dawson, added to the family's list of accomplishments by winning the Connecticut State Championship in singles and doubles (with sophomore Calvin Bennett).
Also returning for Yale is senior Michael Caldwell. As a sophomore, Caldwell went 6-1 in Ivy League play at No. 2 singles and earned First Team All-Ivy. Last season, Caldwell split time between No. 1 and No. 2 singles and earned Second Team All-Ivy. Sophomore Jordan Abergel, sophomore Ryan Berman, senior Josh Lederman, senior Tom Santoro, and junior Matt Schimmel are also returning this season for Yale.
Two New Additions
The Bulldogs have added freshman Joel Samaha and freshman Erik Blumenkranz to the nine returning players from last season.

About Michael Gaffney – Floral Designer to the Stars
It's a Flower Power Story…
World renowned floral designer Michael Gaffney teaches flower design from the ground up. Learn from the master and you, too, could become a designer. Want an artistic, creative life that adds emotional significance to nearly any experience? Then consider American Floral Design Schools.
Once upon a time, Michael Gaffney worked away in a cubicle on Wall Street. Overworked and uninspired, he didn't really know how unsatisfied he was until one day, on a visit to his Midwest hometown, he stepped into a flower shop.
"I realized how much flowers can affect a person. They're part of every stage of life – birth, death, weddings, funerals, memories, romance. And I saw how good designs make a stronger impact. Suddenly, I wanted to be part of that. I saw floral design as a way to help people renew, recover, express sympathy, fall in love, and share friendship. And in doing that, I understood that I could actually make a good living, doing something I love, while adding beauty and flair to events that touch people's lives."
Michael's floral designs have graced a wide spectrum of occasions, from a simple first date bouquet to grand wedding arrangements; from movie sets to haute couture fashion shows, and everything in between. "I came to see myself as an artist for people's emotions. I made a good living, yes, but my art made other people happy. It was remarkably satisfying. And flowers, of course, grow and bloom, but they don't last forever. They disappear. It's a medium that's both dynamic and ethereal. You're always being called on to create something new, but it won't last either. And that's okay. That's what makes every bouquet, every event special. It's like working every single day with the best things in life – flowers, certainly, together with energy, creativity, reinvention, renewal."

BUSHKILL, PA: Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area Superintendent John J. Donahue announced today that due to the construction of the Susquehanna to Roseland Transmission Line project, the recreational use of some park facilities will limited or restricted periodically between November 2013 and April 2014."These temporary restrictions are intended to protect the public, employees and construction workers from safety hazards associated with large scale construction activities," said Donahue."Safety is a top priority for the NPS, the utility companies, and contractors working on this project in the park.We are all working together to ensure that disruptions to the public are minimized to the greatest extent possible."
Two utility companies- PSE&G in New Jersey and PPL in Pennsylvania- are upgrading an existing transmission line and associated structures within their Right of Way (ROW) in Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. The portion of the ROW that passes through the park is approximately five miles long and 150 feet wide. The ROW runs west to east from Bushkill, Pennsylvania, across the Middle Delaware Scenic and Recreational River to Hardwick Township, New Jersey, where it crosses the Pioneer and Hamilton Ridge Trails, Old Mine Road, Route 602 (Millbrook-Blairstown Road) and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail before cresting Kittatinny Ridge.
Over the course of several days in early November, the utility companies will remove the existing transmission lines and the associated structures along the ROW.New structures will be erected during the winter months and the new transmission lines will tentatively be installed over the course of several days in February 2014.During these periods, some park sites and facilities will be temporarily closed, or access may be limited to eliminate or reduce hazards associated with moving overhead wires and the use of heavy construction equipment, including cranes, large trucks and helicopters.The size and scope of this project and the commensurate risks to the public, employees, and contractors during these phases of construction make it necessary to institute these temporary closures during wire removal and installation.Areas that will be temporarily closed for a few days in November, and again in February include:
·The Delaware River corridor between Smithfield Beach and Bushkill Access
·River access points at Bushkill and Smithfield Beach in PA and Poxono in NJ
·The McDade Recreational Trail between Smithfield Beach and Bushkill Access.
Removal of the existing wires and structures is scheduled to begin on Monday, November 4, 2013, barring any unforeseen circumstances or delays due to weather.In many cases, facility closures will only last for a few hours on a given day, but in some cases, it may be necessary to close an area for longer periods.More information on the transmission line project, including maps, construction schedules and restriction or closure notices, can be found on the park's website:www.nps.gov/dewa.Current information on closures will also be posted on the park's Facebook page, www.facebook.com/DelWaterGapNPS and on Twitter at DelWaterGapNPS.Signs will also be posted at these locations to notify the public.
In addition, hunting is temporarily prohibited along the utilities' access road off Community Drive in Middle Smithfield Township, PA, and within 450 feet in both directions from the centerline of the ROW creating a 900-foot wide, approximately 5-mile long area that is closed to all hunting from October 22, 2013 to April 1, 2014.Hunters may not possess any means of taking game animals identified by the states of New Jersey or Pennsylvania while walking through or across the designated no hunting zone.
Construction is scheduled to continue through the winter months, weather permitting, however no other restrictions on recreational activities are anticipated at this time. The utility companies will have safety monitors placed in areas where the ROW crosses trails such as the McDade Recreational Trail and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail so that the public can cross through those areas quickly and safely during most of the construction activities. No road closures are planned at this time but there may be occasional delays as critical activities are completed.Visitors are asked to be alert for hazards and increased construction vehicle traffic when using these areas.

Emdebian Baked[ Preparing packages for Baked ] [ How would Baked work? ] [ Using Grip for Baked ]
Pre-configured non-upgradable systems
Packages built or processed for Baked contain no maintainer scripts or other configuration scripts from Debian, just the runtime configuration support of the package itself. Baked is about making systems that do not need to be upgraded except by reinstalling the baked root filesystem - in effect, the system is like a cake - what is baked cannot be "unbaked".
Packages from both Emdebian Grip and Emdebian Crush can be further processed for Baked.
Emdebian Baked is intended for situations where you know, in advance, the precise configuration of the packages and do not want the packages trampling all over the configuration. (Packages that make changes at runtime would be up to you to handle.)
Emdebian Baked is an advanced system configuration - it will break lots and lots of assumptions and would mean that your Emdebian installation is "Upstream+Debian patches". As such, there would be no need to consider installing dpkg or apt into the system - pre-seeding would be roughly equivalent to pre-baked.
The configuration is largely unchangeable without reinstalling a new root filesystem. Thereagain, without dpkg installed (and presumably with the dpkg emulation of busybox also disabled), this would be the expectation. Install once and run - if it turns out to be broken, reinstall an updated rootfs. The device would simply not support runtime configuration of the underlying system - it wouldn't even necessarily support runtime modification of the underlying system, just the frontend that you design and implement yourself.
Emdebian Baked, gives us:
- Beginners and those needing an upgradable Debian system: Grip
- Intermediate users needing it smaller but still upgradable: Crush
- Advanced users needing non-upgradable versions of Grip or Crush: Baked.
How would Baked work?
Do It Yourself.
The "usebaked" support is available using emgrip to add all the removals carried out by "usegrip" and "usecrush" as well as the complete and irrevocable removal of all maintainer scripts no matter what. debconf questions, preinst, postinst, postrm, prerm, all are removed. It's a full use-at-your-own-risk statically-configured variant.
In addition, apt-grip has been extended to support processing packages from Debian for Baked. This is the model for Grip Baked. See Building Baked for more information.
If things break in Baked, you will need to fix it yourself.
Packages would be prepared in an entirely normal way. If you still want glibc, use unchanged packages from Grip and then "re-grip" using a wrapper that calls emgrip with the extra option. If you want uclibc or some other variant, use the Crush methods to prepare a new package from the Debian sources, build it entirely normally and then post-process it with a similar wrapper. If you need packages from outside Grip, apt-grip will be able to call emgrip using the same options.
e.g. busybox-crush is a full-fat busybox configuration that tries to be compatible with most of Debian. busybox-baked could be much smaller with all the long-options support turned off and various other tweaks to make the final busybox binary smaller. (IIRC busybox-crush is about 500kb.)
Emdebian will provide only a few packages directly to support experimentation - at this level of configuration, there really isn't a sensible default set of packages that Emdebian can provide.
Users of Emdebian Baked would be expected to run their own local repositories of baked packages.
The expectation would then be that multistrap would work with such local repositories to impose the relevant configuration using device table files, pre-configured files to go into /etc/ and various other steps.
One extra step for Baked would be that your final multistrap hook would forcibly remove the dpkg and apt package files as well as the /var/lib/dpkg/ contents. Multistrap won't be able to do this for you (neither will debootstrap) because apt cannot be persuaded not to install itself. Removals can be configured to move the relevant files outside the root filesystem for later use, leaving the system theoretically setup with dpkg but without dpkg or dpkg status files. This would gain several Mb of free space which could be advantageous for such a system.
Baked is set just by providing the relevant file in /etc/dpkg/origins and setting the DEB_VENDOR environment variable when processing the packages with emgrip.
Emdebian Baked might not be able to support a large number of packages per system - typical expectations are one or maybe two dozen packages at most, including the kernel.
As with other Emdebian variants, although the emphasis is on reducing absolute package size, devices where space is not an issue will still benefit from this approach by selecting those packages from Debian that have sufficiently low resource expectations and mixing those into the package set.
Note that statically configured is not necessarily the same as statically linked. Baked still uses shared libraries, unless packages are rebuilt as static and then processed for Baked.

Gayle's West Indies return hits fresh roadblock
Chris Gayle's return to the West Indies squad is likely to be delayed after fresh doubts emerged over his availability for the ODI leg of the upcoming England tour, pouring cold water over the hard-earned resolution reached between him and the West Indies Cricket Board by CARICOM (the Caribbean Community).
Earlier this month Gayle had sent a request to Ernest Hilaire, the WICB chief executive, asking the board if he would be selected for the ODI leg of the England tour in June; this was to help him clarify his availability for Somerset, with whom he had signed as an overseas player for the summer. Hilaire, in his response, has accused Gayle of "reneging" on the undertaking the player had given in the presence of St Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves, stating he would make himself available to play for West Indies over Somerset.
"I write to you with respect to the upcoming West Indies tour of England scheduled for May 2 - June 25, 2012. As previously indicated, I am willing to make myself available to play for West Indies for this tour after my obligations to my IPL team are fulfilled," Gayle said in his e-mail, available to ESPNcricinfo, dated April 20.
Gayle, who last played for West Indies in the 2011 World Cup, told Hilaire that having signed a contract with Somerset, the county required him to "give an undertaking" of his availability for the entire duration of the contract, which clashed with West Indies' tour of England. Somerset have five Friends Life t20 games scheduled during the time West Indies play three ODIs and a T20I against England.
"I would appreciate if I could be informed whether I will be contracted for the West Indies Team for England Tour before I give my commitment to Somerset," Gayle said. "I only ask this so I would be in an informed position before I respond to Somerset, given the fact that I indicated my availability to the West Indies Team after the IPL," Gayle said, requesting an immediate reply.
In his response, sent on April 26, Hilaire said that "the Board has now considered your request and is extremely disappointed that, following the progress we had seemed to be making towards final agreement, you now seem unwilling to honour the commitment you made with respect to your Somerset contract."
According to Hilaire, Gayle had sent a "side letter" to Gonsalves on March 23, stating that he would "forego" his Somerset contract in order to make himself available to play for West Indies. "You reiterated this commitment in your April 1 letter, in response to WICB's request for clarification," Hilaire said. "Your most recent communication appears to suggest that you may be reneging on your availability as you now state that you are willing to make yourself available and not that you are making yourself available. A player cannot be considered for selection if he has not made himself available for selection."
According to Hilaire, during the meeting between Gonsalves, Gayle and the WICB, it was made clear to Gayle that selection matters did not come under the "purview" of the board. "The Board cannot give any commitment to any player with respect to his selection for a particular match or tour; but we will ask the Chairman of Selectors to have a discussion with you on issues relating to your selection at the earliest, in anticipation that you will meet all eligibility requirements," Hilaire told Gayle.
The ball is now once again in Gayle's court with Hilaire asking the player to come up with an instant reply.

This is a kid friendly, easy to make snack which will please any hungry eater. I am glad to have stumbled upon this recipe while looking for kid friendly snacks. As you know coming up with a snack idea for the little ones that they will like can be a challenge. Even after putting in much effort the dish could be a hit or miss and might take multiple attempts or trials to come up with one that they really like.?
When I saw the recipe, I knew the kiddo would like this. After all which kid would not like the combination of ketchup and paneer? I knew he likes bread and paneer, but then would he like this combination and would he be willing to try it out again? ?I tried it and not only the kiddo but the parents also loved it! So I am pretty sure I will be making this often.
Recipe Source: Adapted from สูตรบาคาร่าEdible Garden
- 1 cup paneer (crumbled)
- 2 tsp ketchup
- 6 slices of bread ( I used whole wheat bread, you can use the white bread)
- 1/2 tsp red chilli powder
- 1/4 ?tsp garam masala
- 1/2 tsp ginger+ garlic paste
- handful coriander leaves ( chopped finely)
- Oil/butter
- Salt to taste
- Take a medium sized bowl and add the?crumbled?paneer. Add red chilli powder, garam masala, salt and chopped coriander to this.?Mix well with your finger tips.
- Now add the tomato ketchup and the ginger garlic paste. Mix again well until incorporated. The filling is ready, set it aside.
- Heat a tava on medium heat and get ready to prep the bread.
- On a chop board, take one slice and cut the sides of the bread to remove crust. Do this for the remaining slices as well.
- Using a rolling pin, roll the bread evenly until it gets flat on all the sides.
- Take a spoonful of the paneer mixture and place it in the center of the rolled bread. Arrange it in such a way that it does not stay in the center but is parallel to one of the side.
- Roll the bread all the way and brush the end with little butter, so that is sticks and edges are covered.
- Place these on the hot tava and pour oil onto the sides. Carefully turn them on all the sides so that the bread gets evenly toasted.
- Do that with the remaining bread slices. Cut them into two parts and serve hot with tomato ketchup

Red, White, and Blue 1940s Style
Added Jul 8, 2012
Portland, Oregon...
Hope you had a wonderful Fourth of July! I wanted to share pictures of my recent creations for this holiday, sewn with some vintage designs from the 1940s.
I sewed a red silk blouse from one of my favorite patterns, the Romantic Blouse Pattern from Sense & Sensibility Patterns . I looooove the hourglass sort of darts/pleats, which are so much easier to put in than regular darts and are charmingly vintage! I've seen lots of vintage blouses and dresses that have similar tucks, and I just love sewing them.
This collar is brilliantly put together, as the pattern has the collar be an extension of the actual blouse front itself. It comes together so quickly, and I love how I only had to use three pieces – front, back, and sleeve! (Well, okay, there's also a facing, but in general this comes together so much faster than a typical blouse.)
As for the slacks, this pattern worked so well that I don't think I'll ever buy another pair of pants!! I usually have a very hard time finding pants that fit the way I like, because I am, how shall we say, short! On top of that, I can't stand those front closing pants, because the zipper and button closure add so much bulk to the waist – a shirt can fit me just fine in the waist, for example, but as soon as I pull on a pair of pants underneath it looks like I have much more of a stomach than I actually do! So frustrating!!
So these slacks made from Simplicity 3688 were a God-send! They have a side closure, a very flattering waistband at the natural waistline, slenderizing pleats down the front and back, and wide legs that are so forgiving in the hip area! You can't see the waistband in these photos since I have the blouse untucked, but believe me when I say that the pants are sooo flattering to wear. Somehow those skinny-leg pants of today, or those awful legging things that make even the skinniest girl look portly, are so unbecoming… I don't understand why clothing stores can't design slacks for women that actually make them look better, not worse!
At any rate, I love these Hollywood style trousers, and I'm sure you will find them helpful, too! I highly recommend the blouse pattern for vintage enthusiasts as well, and you can read a much more in-depth review of the pants and blouse on my vintatge sewing blog.
Happy sewing!
Material Notes
The slacks were made from lightweight gabardine, and the blouse from a red silk sateen.

HoustonFest organizers have announced their lineup of top bluegrass, old-time and country performers that will play at this year's HoustonFest, "A Celebration of Song and Service," on May 3 and 4 at Felts Park in Galax, according to a news release for the event.
By SHAINA STOCKTON, Staff
Friends, family and fans gathered to celebrate with the members of Ray Burnette and the Moonlighters on March 30, as a display following the band's history was unveiled at the Jeff Matthews Memorial Museum in Galax.
Ray Burnette and the Moonlighters formed in the late 1960s and performed until the early 1980s.
They were a variety band, "playing country, country rock, rockabilly, bluegrass, gospel or whatever people wanted to hear," said drummer Jim Doane of Galax.
Last year's Houston Caldwell Music Scholarship recipients will be showcased in a special performance during this year's festival.
Last year's recipients — Jared Boyd, Brandy Miller, Danielle Yother, Daniel Greeson and Catherine Conner — will perform during HoustonFest 2013, which is scheduled for May 3-4 at Felts Park in Galax.
HoustonFest is organized and presented by Galax Volunteer Fire Department and community volunteers.
HILLSVILLE — Voices will be raised in praise at the first-ever Gospel Day June 1 in Jail House Square in Hillsville, a musical event meant to appeal to locals and visitors alike.
David Young, Pipers Gap Ward representative on Hillsville Town Council, long wanted to stage a gospel music celebration to go along with the slate of beach bands that play the summer Downtown Celebrations.
FANCY GAP — Only one author with Carroll County ties has topped the Amazon sales charts for an action-adventure series.
David "Bubba" Gelly saw possibilities in the infamous fog of Fancy Gap — as a shroud of mystery for the setting in his fictional thriller.
To write "Fancy Gap," Gelly combined his experience as a corporate security supervisor with his love of writing and his interest in the local culture of the Blue Ridge Mountains to pen this tale of a loathsome crime.
The Galax Middle School Choir recently entertained the city's school board with a selection of songs. At the board's February meeting, the choir lined up behind a row of shelves in the GHS library, where they performed two songs: "Hot Chocolate" and "Amani Utupe Na Ustawi," which means "Grant us peace, give us courage" in Swahili. Four members of the choir have made it into the all-district choir, while nine submissions had been accepted for the state middle school choir.
The Crooked Road has ended its effort to achieve National Heritage Area status, after Tea Party groups alleged that the move would put local land use decisions under federal control. The trail that includes the Twin Counties would have been eligible for federal grants to promote mountain music.
An upcoming benefit concert will help pay for a fitting memorial for a late local musician.
Proceeds from the March 16 concert at Galax's historic Rex Theater will be donated towards a cemetery stone for Artie Marshall (1927-2003).
On March 16, Artie's husband Jim Marshall will perform at the Rex with many of his musical friends, including Stevie Barr & Friends, The Wolfe Brothers, Kyle-Dean & Snake Smith, Willard Gayheart & Bobby Patterson, Erynn Marshall & Carl Jones and other special guests.
By SHAINA STOCKTON, Staff
It's not every month someone brings a giant fiddle to a Galax City Council meeting.
"If you think this is large, you should see a full-sized fiddle. This one is only a three-quarter [size]!" laughed Chris Shackelford of Chestnut Creek School of the Arts, as she carefully leaned the sleek instrument against a nearby column where the council members could get a full view.
Shackelford was there at the Jan. 28 meeting to help sing the praises of a musical-themed public art project.
Hundreds of who gathered in Galax this summer to play the most mandolins at once will be included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

Greenworld4you needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 82 designs submitted by 18 freelance designers.
We are in need of a handdrawn/cartoon-ish logo for a business specialising in import of japaneese sports cars to Denmark
Since many of the japaneese sports cars are turbo cars the logo should preferably contain a turbo.
We imagine a cartoon-like or
"hand drawn" look of the logo. May contain several colours but it is
important that the logo will look nice an easily recognisable in two
tone as is planned as as both logo on website an as a sticker to place
on cars which therefore should be stylish and not to intrusive.
- A turbo (search Google Images, an example here: http://volvospeed.com/Pics/Review/i…turbo.jpg)
- Logo itself should be handdrawn/cartoon-ish
- Must be simple enough to be recognisable as a sticker on a car
therefore also make sense in two-tone
- Would be nice with have a japanese look or referance build into it.
- Eventhough it is preferably cartoon-ish it shouldn't lead to the business being percieved as being amateurish or unprofessional.
- Not cartoon silly as firebreathing skulls and so on.

Lumen – A Burmese, Thai and Latin typefacePosted by rod - 03.10.2012
Lumen is the first Burmese, Thai and Latin typeface which was created by Ben Mitchell during his MATD year at the University of Reading.
"Lumen is the product of a year's study at the University of Reading. It is unique among typefaces in both its scope and its design, taking influence from historic models but equally at home splashed across the pages of contemporary editorial design or set in continuous prose in book design. With its unparalleled support for Burmese, Thai and Latin all conceived together from the outset, Lumen is the first typeface to integrate the three scripts in complementary, stylistic harmony whilst respecting the different heritage of each. It is also fully Unicode compliant, a rarity among Burmese fonts.
Lumen's character set and range of styles are rooted in the practical needs of complex and hierarchical typography, such as dictionary, editorial and textbook usage.
The design process has been a journey into the past to rediscover the vitality of Burmese text, a journey into complexity to figure out how to translate Southeast Asian writing systems into OpenType code, and a journey into the tiniest details of letterforms and spacing to optimise text typography.
At the same time, Lumen stands for a brighter future for the peoples of Burma and their new opportunities for democracy and international dialogue, in which the worlds of communications, publishing, design and web can support and encourage permanent change."

It is possible that the main title of the report Acanthocheilonemiasis is not the name you expected. Please check the synonyms listing to find the alternate name(s) and disorder subdivision(s) covered by this report.
Acanthocheilonemiasis is a rare tropical infectious disease caused by a parasite known as Acanthocheilonema perstans, which belongs to a group of parasitic diseases known as filarial diseases (nematode). This parasite is found, for the most part, in Africa. Symptoms of infection may include red, itchy skin (pruritis), abdominal and chest pain, muscular pain (myalgia), and areas of localized swelling (edema). In addition, the liver and spleen may become abnormally enlarged (hepatosplenomegaly). Laboratory testing may also reveal abnormally elevated levels of certain specialized white blood cells (eosinophilia). The parasite is transmitted through the bite of small flies (A. coliroides).

On Our Radar: Powering Your Company on Beer
Think those fancy light bulbs and company-funded bikes mean your office is going green? Fast Company writes that the Alaskan Brewing Company is putting other earth-friendly initiatives to shame by powering its brewery on beer (well, on leftover malt and barley). —Melissa Korn
Job ads are supposed to attract new talent, but this HBR blog post says some might be doing the exact opposite. "The selected candidate will possess,"and other robotic phrases, could be leading prospective new hires to give robotic responses in their own pitches. No wonder why hiring managers complain about the lack of creativity. —Melissa Korn
Speaking of job ads, Pope Benedict XVI's surprise resignation inspired a raft of tongue-in-cheek listings for the now-open position. Perks include, of course, the Pope-mobile and "a pretty sweet bachelor pad." Presumably, the job also includes regular check-ins with the chairman of the board, known to Catholics as God. — Lauren Weber
We know employers are looking for ways to keep their medical costs down, and here's one way they're doing it, according to MarketWatch: encouraging, requiring or somehow incentivizing employees to seek second opinions before proceeding with expensive surgeries or treatments. — Lauren Weber
And finally…
More effective ways to evaluate virtual employees, via Harvard Business Review. For one thing, don't focus solely on results, but evaluate behavior too. — Rachel Emma Silverman

Neon Software sells cut-down zPrime for IMS
Accelerate flatfile mainframe databases for a buck
IBM's System z11 mainframes are just around the corner, and Neon Software, the maker of the zPrime tool for offloading work from expensive to cheap engines on Big Blue's mainframes, has to do something to get the attention of mainframers.
How does $1 for a license for tweaked zPrime tool that lets it accelerate IMS flatfile databases on mainframes sound?
That is bound to get the attention of more than a few mainframe shops working on tight budgets and who are willing to use a tool that is at the center of one of several lawsuits relating to IBM's mainframes.
The zPrime for IMS tool is a derivative of zPrime 2.1, which was announced in mid-June. It is not the full version of the software, which can offload CICS, DB2, IMS, Java, and XML processing from regular mainframe engines running z/OS to the so-called specialty engines inside of mainframes.
These specialty engines, known as the System z Application Assist Processor (zAAP, for offloading Java and XML workloads) and the System z Integrated Information Processor (zIIP, for accelerating DB2 databases), are based on the same physical chip cores that run z/OS, but IBM's microcode turns them into co-processors for regular mainframe engines. Oh, and they cost a quarter or less than the price of a regular mainframe engine and do not incur IBM system software metered software charges, so if you can offload work to them, you can save big bucks.
The crux of the issue - and why zPrime is potentially useful to mainframe shops and harmful to IBM - is that it enables a much larger percentage of the z/OS workloads to be move to zIIPs and zAAPs than IBM's marketing plan for specialty engines anticipated. If more than 90 per cent of the work of a mainframe processor can be offloaded to a specialty engine, as Neon Software claims zPrime 2.1 can do, then which is the processor and which is the co-processor?
IBM's Information Management System, or IMS, database is a hierarchical database that is exhaustively used in conjunction with the CICS transaction monitoring system to blaze through online transaction processing on IBM's big iron. It was created by IBM in part to keep track of the manufacturing parts used in the NASA's Apollo program to get men to the moon. It is a big money maker for Big Blue, since governments and companies the world over use it to drive their transactions (as well as the relational DB2 database on mainframes).
Neon Software is being a smart-alek by offering an IMS-only version of zPrime for $1, and it is a shameless means of growing what is still a pretty small installed base for the zPrime product. As of June, the company said that it had eight non-paying customers using zPrime 2.1 in production and "double digits" of paying customers for all of its products, against an installed base of between 6,000 and 7,000 unique mainframe sites in the world. Neon Software had 14 paying customers through last fall, but is unwilling to be specific about how many it has now - except to say it has not lost one paying customer yet.
To get the $1 annual license to zPrime for IMS, customers have to make a two-year commitment to license the product - that's a whole $2 - and install the software and put it into production by December 31.
Wouldn't it be funny if someone sold a tool that tweaked zPrime so it would then do the full gamut of mainframe offloading, as the full zPrime 2.1 does? There would be a certain kind of symmetry to that. ®

BE Love needed a new stationery design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 31 designs submitted by 5 freelance designers.
BE LOVE - Pass It On (http://belove-passiton.com)
We are a new company that is getting its message and products out in the world. We need your help to design our business cards, letterhead, return labels and PowerPoint template.
This is becoming a movement (through products) similar to LIFE IS GOOD with an added element of PAY IT FORWARD.
Here's our Mission:
BE LOVE is an experience. OK. It's really an experiment.
Our mission is to inspire everyone to question for themselves: "What does it mean to Be Love in the world?"
Our purpose is to see just how great a world we can create if more and more people choose to BE LOVE.
Imagine a company that helps to inspire that. We have. Our products help us remember who we are. Our flagship product is the BE LOVE wristband.
So enjoy the experience. Experiment with what it means to you. And witness the movement within yourself and others.
We are sending out packages to people that are the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Ellen DeGeneres, President Obama, Brad Pitt, Richard Branson, Lady Gaga, etc.
So we need the look to be eye-catching, hip, clean, and professional.
BE LOVE is for EVERYONE; however, it is the Youth of this country (13-35) that will take this company viral! There cannot be any specific distinction for gender, race, religion, or geographic location. This is a UNIVERSAL LOVE and our look needs to be depicted as such.
We really want people to want to ENGAGE and be a part of the EXPERIMENT... this means to PASS IT ON.
We would like to have business cards that stand out and people remember, yet business cards that have a dynamic touch, and a "I want to be involved" aspect. The same is valid for our powerpoint template and letterhead (A4 size).
Our business cards should contain the following fields:
• Company Name ("BE LOVE - Pass It On")
• First name, last name
• Title
• Street and Suite number (Format: "4100 Redwood Road, Suite 10")
Mailbox ("Mailbox #112")
• City, State, Zip (Format: "Oakland, CA 94619")
• Email (Format: email@example.com)
• Phone (Format: "123.456.7890")
• Cell (Format: "123.456.7890")
• Fax (Format: "123.456.7890")
• Web (http://www.BeLove-PassItOn.com)
On the back of the card, we would like to have the following:
Our mission is to inspire everyone to question for themselves: WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE LOVE IN THE WORLD? (See file for a proposed way of showing this - we did this on a sticker)
The design of our business cards and our powerpoint template should go hand-in-hand with the design of our logo/files attached. Feel free to use colors and elements of the logo. Generally, we prefer a clean and modern style, also in the choice of fonts. The fonts do not necessarily need to be the same as the words in our logo.
Please provide final results in x.psd, x.ai, x.eps and x.jpg format as well as x.ppt for the powerpoint template and x.ai and x.doc for the letterhead.
