Unix has a long and winding history. For the first time user of unix, the following resources and information may be hard to understand or boring. In that case, feel free to skip over this section and refer back to it as needed. ;)
Various resources on Unix History A Brief History of Unix by Charles Severance
Book: A Quarter Century of Unix Author: Peter H. Salus Pages: 256 ISBN: 0201547775 Order from amazon.com.
http://www.faqs.org/faqs/unix-faq/faq/part6/ Subject: A very brief look at Unix history. From: "Pierre (P.) Lewis" (email@example.com) Date: Mon May 30 15:44:28 EDT 1994 X-Version: 2.6 6.2) A very brief look at Unix history. Unix history goes back to 1969 and the famous "little-used PDP-7 in a corner" on which Ken Thompson, Dennis Ritchie (the R in K&R) and others started work on what was to become Unix. The name "Unix" was intended as a pun on Multics (and was written "Unics" at first -- UNiplexed Information and Computing System). For the first 10 years, Unix development was essentially confined to Bell Labs. These initial versions were labeled "Version n" or "Nth Edition" (of the manuals), and were for DEC's PDP-11 (16 bits) and later VAXen (32 bits). Some significant versions include: V1 (1971): 1st Unix version, in assembler on a PDP-11/20. Included file system, fork(), roff, ed. Was used as a text processing tool for preparation of patents. Pipe() appeared first in V2! V4 (1973): Rewritten in C, which is probably the most significant event in this OS's history: it means Unix can be ported to a new hardware in months, and changes are easy. The C language was originally designed for the Unix operating system, and hence there is a strong synergy between C and Unix. V6 (1975): First version of Unix widely available outside Bell Labs (esp. in universities). This was also the start of Unix diversity and popularity. 1.xBSD (PDP-11) was derived from this version. J. Lions published "A commentary on the Unix Operating System" based on V6. V7 (1979): For many, this is the "last true Unix", an "improvement over all preceding and following Unices" [Bourne]. It included full K&R C, uucp, Bourne shell. V7 was ported to the VAX as 32V. The V7 kernel was a mere 40 Kbytes! Here (for reference) are the system calls of V7: _exit, access, acct, alarm, brk, chdir, chmod, chown, chroot, close, creat, dup, dup2, exec*, exit, fork, fstat, ftime, getegid, geteuid, getgid, getpid, getuid, gtty, indir, ioctl, kill, link, lock, lseek, mknod, mount, mpxcall, nice, open, pause, phys, pipe, pkoff, pkon, profil, ptrace, read, sbrk, setgid, setuid, signal, stat, stime, stty, sync, tell, time, times, umask, umount, unlink, utime, wait, write. These Vn versions were developed by the Computer Research Group (CRG) of Bell Labs. Another group, the Unix System Group (USG), was responsible for support. A third group at Bell Labs was also involved in Unix development, the Programmer's WorkBench (PWB), to which we owe, for example, sccs, named pipes and other important ideas. Both groups were merged into Unix System Development Lab in 1983. Another variant of Unix was CB Unix (Columbus Unix) from the Columbus branch of Bell Labs, responsible of Operations Support Systems. Its main contribution was parts of SV IPC. Work on Unix continued at Bell Labs in the 1980s. The V series was further developed by the CRG (Stroustrup mentions V10 in the 2nd edition of his book on C++), but we don't seem to hear much about this otherwise. The company now responsible for Unix (System V) is called Unix System Laboratories (USL) and is majority-owned by AT&T. Novell has bought USL (early 93)! Novell has given rights to the "UNIX" trademark to X/Open (late 93). But much happened to Unix outside AT&T, especially at Berkeley (where the other major flavor comes from). Vendors (esp. of workstations) also contributed much (e.g. Sun's NFS). The book "Life with Unix" by Don Libes and Sandy Ressler is fascinating reading for anyone interested in Unix, and covers a lot of the history, interactions, etc.. Much in the present section is summarized from this book. 6.3) Main Unix flavors. The following is very much an early '90s view. Until recently, there were basically two main flavors of Unix: System V (five) from AT&T, and the Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). SVR4 is essentially a merge of these two flavors. End '91, OSF/1 from the Open Software Foundation was released (as a direct competitor to System V) and may (future will tell) change this picture. The following lists the main releases and features of System V, BSD and OSF/1. System V from AT&T. Typical of Intel hardware. Most often ported Unix, typically with BSD enhancements (csh, job control, termcap, curses, vi, symbolic links). System V evolution is now overseen by Unix International (UI). UI members include AT&T, Sun, .... Newsgroup: comp.unix.sysv[23]86. Main releases: - System III (1982): first commercial Unix from AT&T - FIFOs (named pipes) (later?) - System V (1983): - IPC package (shm, msg, sem) - SVR2 (1984): - shell functions (sh) - SVID (System V Interface Definition) - SVR3 (1986) for ? platforms: - STREAMS (inspired by V8), poll(), TLI (network software) - RFS - shared libs - SVID 2 - demand paging (if hardware supports) - SVR3.2: - merge with Xenix (Intel 80386) - networking - SVR4 (1988), mainstream of Unix implementations, merge of System V, BSD, and SunOS. - From SVR3: sysadmin, terminal I/F, printer (from BSD?), RFS, STREAMS, uucp - From BSD: FFS, TCP/IP, sockets, select(), csh - From SunOS: NFS, OpenLook GUI, X11/NeWS, virtual memory subsystem with memory-mapped files, shared libraries (!= SVR3 ones?) - ksh - ANSI C - Internationalization (8-bit clean) - ABI (Application Binary Interface -- routines instead of traps) - POSIX, X/Open, SVID3 - SVR4.1 - async I/O (from SunOS?) - SVR4.2 (based on SVR4.1ES) - Veritas FS, ACLs - Dynamically loadable kernel modules - Future: - SVR4 MP (multiprocessor) - Use of Chorus microkernel? Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD). Typical of VAXen, RISCs, many workstations. More dynamic, research versions now than System V. BSD is responsible for much of the popularity of Unix. Most enhancements to Unix started here. The group responsible at UCB (University of California at Berkeley) is the Computer System Research Group (CSRG). They closed down in 1992. Newsgroup: comp.unix.bsd. Main releases: (much reorganized wrt dates and releases, hope it's converging) - 2.xBSD (1978) for PDP-11, still of significance? (2.11BSD was released in 1992!). - csh - 3BSD (1978): - virtual memory - 4.?BSD: - termcap, curses - vi - 4.0BSD (1980): - 4.1BSD (?): base of later AT&T CRG versions - job control - automatic kernel config - vfork() - 4.2BSD (1983): - TCP/IP, sockets, ethernet - UFS: long file names, symbolic links - new reliable signals (4.1 reliable signals now in SVR3) - select() - 4.3BSD (1986) for VAX, ?: - 4.3 Tahoe (1988): 4.3BSD with sources, support for Tahoe (32-bit supermini) - Fat FFS - New TCP algorithms - 4.3 Reno (1990) for VAX, Tahoe, HP 9000/300: - most of P1003.1 - NFS (from Sun) - MFS (memory file system) - OSI: TP4, CLNP, ISODE's FTAM, VT and X.500; SLIP - Kerberos - Net1 (?) and Net2 (June 1991) tapes: that portion of BSD which requires no USL copyright - 4.4BSD (alpha June 1992) for HP 9000/300, Sparc, 386, DEC, others; neither VAX nor Tahoe; two versions, lite (~Net2 contents plus, fixes and new architectures) and encumbered (everything, requires USL license): - new virtual memory system (VMS) based on Mach 2.5 - virtual filesystem interface, log-structured filesystem, size of local filesystem up to 2^63, NFS (freely redistributable, works with Sun's, over UDP or TCP) - ISO/OSI networking support (based on ISODE): TP4/CLNP/802.3 and TP0/CONS/X.25, session and above in user space; FTAM, VT, X.500. - most of POSIX.1 (esp. new terminal driver a la SV), much of POSIX.2, improved job control; ANSI C headers - Kerberos integrated with much of the system (incl. NFS) - TCP/IP enhancements (incl. header prediction, SLIP) - important kernel changes (new system call convention, ...) - other improvements: FIFOs, byte-range file locking Official 4.4BSD release was expected within 6 months of above. The Open Software Foundation (OSF) released its Unix called OSF/1 end of 1991. Still requires an SVR2 license. Compatible/compliant with SVID 2 (and 3 coming), POSIX, X/Open, etc.. OSF members include Apollo, Dec, HP, IBM, .... - OSF/1 (1991): - based on Mach 2.5 kernel - symmetric multiprocessing, parallelized kernel, threads - logical volumes, disk mirroring, UFS (native), S5 FS, NFS - enhanced security (B1 with some B2, B3; or C2), 4.3BSD admin - STREAMS, TLI/XTI, sockets - shared libs, dynamic loader (incl. kernel) - Motif GUI - Release 1.3 (Jun 94) - Based on MACH 3.0 Micro-kernel - Conformant with current draft of Specification 1170 (considered for standardization in X/Open's Fast Track process) - Data Capture I/F, Common Data Link I/F, - ISO 10646 and 64-bit support. - OSF/1 MK (mikrokernel) based on Mach 3.0 This list of major flavors should probably also include Xenix (Microsoft) which has been the basis for many ports. Derived from V7, S III and finally System V, it is similar externally but significantly changed internally (performance-tuned for micros). Two very good books describe the internals of the two main flavors. These are: - System V: "Design of the Unix Operating System", M.J. Bach. - BSD: "Design and Implementation of the 4.3BSD Unix Operating System", Leffler, McKusick, Karels, Quaterman. For a good introduction to OSF/1 (not quite as technical as the previous two), see: "Guide to OSF/1, A Technical Synopsis", published by O'Reilly. On SunOS, "Virtual Memory Architecture in SunOS" and "Shared Libraries in SunOS" in Summer 1989 USENIX Proceedings. A good set of articles on where Unix is going is "Unix Variants" in the Apr 92 issue of Unix Review. Other good sources of information include the bsd-faq file, and many of the newsgroups mentioned in the text.

So, you bought a wireless router and hooked it up to your DSL or cable modem. But you're not getting the connectivity you expected. What went wrong?
Here are the top 5 things you should check:
- Location of your wireless router. The higher you can place your router, the happier you'll be. Wireless signals work best when there's no interference with metal or other dense objects. If you place your router up high, away from the other objects in the room, the signal will go farther.
- Stay away from windows. Glass has a tendency to bounce wireless signals around, do placing your router near a window may cause the signal to quickly degrade and you'll be unhappy with the result.
- Use repeaters or extra routers to send signals throughout the home. Wireless signals can't travel through metal and have a hard time going through dense objects or glass. Using repeaters (which take the signal and repeat it) can help bring connectivity to locations that otherwise might be lost.
- Change the default channel. Your microwave oven, wireless telephone, or gaming console might be interfering with your router's signal. Changing the frequency your router uses is a simple fix.
- Use security and a good password. Without using applying security to your network, you're making your computers and other connected devices open to attack from hackers (not to mention neighbors seeking "free" Internet access). Be sure to set your router's security and don't just use the default passwords.

Another season of recruiting behind us, and another run of the mill recruiting class for the Wisconsin Badgers. Still, they picked up some names of interest that will become household names a few years from now. Here are four names to keep an eye on down the road.
Alec James/DE/Brookfield, WI- James, one of the handful of players in this recruiting class that I have had the pleasure of covering their games, is an athletic freak from the defensive end position, and is one of those players who is truly a speed rusher. He, like almost every high school lineman, needs to bulk up as he currently stands just 6'4", 220 pounds. If he does, he will be a great asset to the Badgers down the road. I've interviewed James and I can tell you he is a terrific young man, as I asked him a question about something he did in the first half of a game, and all he wanted to talk about was the great play of the offensive line.
Corey Clement/RB/Glassboro, NJ- Another Badgers running back from New Jersey. Seems like the Badgers can't go two recruiting classes without grabbing one of those. The Badgers backfield is always one of the deepest in
America, so it
remains to be seen if, when, and how much playing time Clement will get.
Keelon Brookins/DB/Oakdale, MN- Brookins, a defensive back out of Minnesota, brings raw speed to the Badgers, which is something this program needs badly. In all likelihood Brookins will end up at corner back as he lacks the size to play safety.
T.J. Watt/TE/Pewaukee, WI- T.J. Watt is yet another one of these players I've had the pleasure of covering as a journalist in person. Watt, the younger brother of NFL star J.J. Watt, is a high school quarterback who is being converted to tight end. Having watched him play, the transition should be flawless.

Supply Report
Gas inventories fell 170 trillion cubic feet last week, based on 19 analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. The five- year average drop for the period is 118 billion and supplies fell by 106 billion a year ago.
U.S. stockpiles totaled 2.4 trillion cubic feet in the week ended Feb. 15, 18 percent above the five-year average for the period, EIA data show. Supplies were down 9.2 percent from a year earlier, when the fourth-warmest winter on record in the lower 48 states crimped demand while production rose to a record.
Production Decline
Frigid weather this week cut gas production in the midcontinent region after water produced as a byproduct of gas output froze, impeded flows. Midcontinent output has fallen by 750 million to 850 million cubic feet a day over two days because of well freeze-offs, said Luke Larson, an analyst with LCI Energy Insight, an energy analysis and consulting firm based in El Paso, Texas.
Larson said production cuts seen this week may not be reflected in the EIA storage report till next week or even the week after.
U.S. marketed gas output will increase 1.1 percent this year to 70.02 billion cubic feet a day, setting a record for the sixth straight year as output from the Marcellus shale formation in the Northeast grows, the Energy Information Administration said in its Short-Term Energy Outlook released Feb. 12 in Washington.
Stockpiles of the fuel may end the heating season in March at about 2 trillion cubic feet, down from 2.477 trillion at the same time last year, according to the monthly report.
The boom in oil and natural gas production helped the U.S. cut its reliance on imported fuel. America met 84 percent of its energy needs in the first 11 months of last year, on pace to be the highest annual level since 1991, EIA data show.

My Feminist Re-Birth(s)
by Yashar Ali
I was born a boy and a feminist on Thanksgiving Day, 1979. We are all born feminists, just as much as we are all born free of racial discrimination. The definition of feminism is the same now, as it was on the day I was born: a man or woman who believes in full gender equality.
Growing up, I had no reason to think that men and women were unequal; my mother was fervent about stamping out any examples of gender bias in her relationship with my father. So, as a child, I never witnessed gender inequality within my immediate family.
Even though we traveled to Iran every other summer and I would see my female relatives forced to wear headscarves, while the men roamed free of dress restrictions, I still didn't believe that men and women were unequal. Seeing women subjected to different and more rigid dress restrictions didn't shift my perception of gender equality, like it would for so many young, impressionable kids.
When we are born, the sounds, the lights, the activities of human life are jarring and shocking to us. We have, after all, spent nine months in the protection of our mother's womb. But soon, we adjust and those same sounds and sights become part of daily life. While I never believed that men and women are unequal, I had become used to the sexism that pervades everyday life. Like a baby who gets used to the rush of the material world, I was complacent about the gender inequalities emerging around me. I may have noticed it, but unless it came crashing down on my head, it wasn't jarring. As a result, I did nothing of substance about it.
Since the day of my birth, I have lived through three feminist re-births to arrive at where I am today: a man who is firmly committed to and passionate about solving gender inequity, in forms big and small, here at home, and around the world. I call them re-births because they were seminal moments in my life, moments in which I confronted the question of what to do with and in my life. With each of my re-births, I found the sounds and sights of sexism jarring and uncomfortable. And while my awareness about the very real inequities between men and women waned at various points in my life, I am now vigilant in my mindfulness of gender discrimination.
Despite what I personally believe about gender equality, my problem has been my failure in remembering the reality in our country, and also the reality around the world—that men and women are treated far from equal. At times, I have also forgotten that it is my responsibility, as a human being and a man, to stamp out this inequity.
I had my first feminist re-birth when I was 18. My cousin, Sheherazade, was a women's studies major at the University of Wisconsin in Madison and I would visit her there every few months. We would listen to Ani DiFranco records and she would talk about what she learned in her courses. Her revolutionary attitude about gender inspired me over the many visits I paid to her.
I was horrified by the many examples of sexism that surrounded my life, in the wide world of politics, and in the media I consumed. I wondered why it took these visits with my cousin to realize that ninety years after women gained the right to vote, we continue to marginalize women to a horrifying extent.
Soon after my last visit with her, I moved to California, and I stopped listening and paying attention to the gender inequality that surrounded my life. The haze of daily life took over and somehow, the (gender) revolutionary in me dissolved.
My second rebirth came eight years later. After the 2008 presidential primaries, I was filled with grief by the way Hillary Clinton was treated by the media and by both Democrats and Republicans. The sexism in the presidential race was not only rampant, but it was also shocking (something both Sarah Palin and Michele Bachmann have now experienced). I didn't understand how we could sit around and say nothing while we watched a woman face disgusting attacks from so-called reporters and pundits. The comments made on television, in newspapers, on the internet, and via other media platforms about Hillary Clinton's body, clothing, and her inability to lead because she is subject to "that time of the month," was just too much for me to handle. My friends Lynn, Jill, Susie, and I would discuss examples of gender bias that Clinton's campaign was forced to deal with. These women had unyielding passion for gender equality and they reminded me why I felt so passionate about my sense of purpose back in the days when I would visit my cousin in Madison.
But just a year later, my outrage at the rampant discrimination against women in politics and in the greater context of American society faded into the background. While I remained consumed by Hillary Clinton's loss in her presidential bid, I was no longer consumed by how she was treated—which was the bigger problem. I was simply going about my life. Once again, the sounds and sights of sexism were no longer as jarring. They dissolved into the background of everyday life, of the reality of this country and this world.
My third feminist rebirth happened when I moved to the Bay Area for two years. In San Francisco, I was surrounded by women who dedicated their lives to combating gender inequity. My friend Susie, who was a woman entrepreneur long before we even thought to use the words "boys club," inspired me to be more grateful for the many privileges in my life, including male privilege. She accomplished this through her actions, her quiet grace. She is brilliantly defiant and proud in the way she lives her life and she puts her hard-earned money where her mouth is, dedicating her wealth to helping girls and women around the world.
My friend and colleague Lisa, who reminded me so much of my cousin, is beyond passionate in her quest to point out gender bias in politics and life. Her wit is so brilliant and biting that she often rendered misogynists mute or extremely defensive. My friend Shawnda continually reminded me about the absence of women in positions of power on political campaigns, which I failed to readily notice. And my friend Jennifer, who's dogged battle in bringing her documentary, Miss Representation, into fruition, reminded me that popular media often portrays women in a horrible light. She made me aware that there is no such thing as mindless, harmless television as long as women are thrown under the bus in the process. She has inspired me to rethink my media consumption patterns.
Many people believe the issues women faced thirty, forty years ago have already been solved—if only that were true.
In our culture, the problems women face haven't changed much since the 60′s and 70′s. They have just gone underground. The current challenges women face have morphed into forms overlooked by our seemingly PC society, because they don't fit into our textbook definition of abuse and inequality.
I am a product of women, they nurtured me, protected me, fed me, clothed me, educated me, loved me. I am happy and successful because of what they offered and sacrificed for me. I have a responsibility to support and honor their struggle.
Their struggle is about being recognized as full participants in our society. Their struggle is about overcoming gender bias in the media, pay inequity, and unfair hiring practices. And even if they are working in an environment that is free of gender-based wage gaps, women employees still face a confidence gap. Women are less likely than men to ask for what they want in their work place. So, their struggle is about overcoming society's tendency to teach young women that asking for what they want is seen as an act of aggression, rather than an act of assertion. This is just a different form of sexism wrapped up in what some of us see as cultural or gender norms.
Their struggle is about the fact that out of 50 US governors, only six are women. And out of 535 seats in Congress, women hold less than 20 percent of these posts.
A woman's struggle is also about the reality that when confronting trauma in her life, she must face the national tragedy of untested rape kits and the disgusting manner in which rape victims are treated on college campuses.
Even though I use the word "their," when it comes to talking about gender equality, I believe it is really "our" struggle, a struggle to be overcome by everyone (men and women). If we don't begin to resolve the gender equality issue, we will be leaving behind half our society and this will ultimately lead to our destruction. We see examples of where we are headed every day, from the dysfunctional debt negotiations to the shocking income inequality in our country and around the world (70 percent of those in poverty globally are women).
The imbalance between men and women is often glaring to me, but I am also witness to very subtle instances of inequality that are just as painful: whether it's hearing a man tell a woman to "calm down" because she tries to express her opinion, or it's hearing women speak on TV about "the way it used to be," as if to claim that women and men now have even playing field.
When half our society faces quantifiable bias and discrimination that permeates every part of their lives, how can we sit around and think that we have left those days in the past? Can you imagine if you are a woman facing discrimination in your life and you hear something like that? It may lead you to think you are overreacting.
This is the biggest issue we face today: the subtlety of sexism is wrapped in many layers of society and it inflicts tremendous damage in terms of equality for women.
I know that I am reborn as a feminist for the last time; I am not going back to living in a haze. The sounds and sights of gender inequity will always be jarring and painful to me, now and always. As a man, I am sometimes supported and cheered by those who read and agree with my writings about the need for gender equality. Yet, I will also face snarky comments from friends and strangers. I've heard them in the past, "Oh you're so cute, you little feminist." I really don't care. This is what I am meant to do, to champion for pervasive and consistent gender equality.
I believe that men have an added responsibility in the fight for gender equality—we are who we are because of women. The idea that the fight against gender inequality should be entirely shouldered by women is insulting because women simultaneously live their lives, champion the lives of men, and fight inequality. It's just unfair—even the fight for gender equality is unbalanced.
I recently moved back to Los Angeles after a two-year stay in the Bay Area. As I was unpacking, I was filled with a sense of curiosity and nostalgia. My belongings were material reminders of what I used to love and how I used to think.
In the process of unpacking, I discovered a t-shirt I had not seen for some time, one that I ordered after one of my visits to my cousin in Madison. On the front it reads, "This Is What A Feminist Looks Like."
That shirt isn't a reminder of who I used to be; it is an emblem of who I am and who I always will be.
The difference is, I'm not going to forget this time.

Gail Baldwin Simmonds, 70, formerly of Wyndmoor, a headmaster's assistant at Chestnut Hill Academy for 14 years and a longtime community volunteer, died of cancer March 7 at Cathedral Village, where she had resided for the past year.
For her service to CHA, which included starting a boys' knitting club, Mrs. Simmonds was presented with the school's Landreth Award and made an Honorary Alumnus in 2009.
Frank Steel, head of school at Springside Chestnut Hill Academy, said Mrs. Simmonds has been "a true and loyal force in our school community for most of her life.
She also had worked as an administrative assistant at advertising agencies and the Donesco Company.
She had been a volunteer with the Friends of the Chestnut Hill Library, Springside School, Wyndmoor Community Association and Chestnut Hill Hospital. She hosted Springside reunion luncheons and started the Spring Lane block party.
An active member of St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh for nearly 60 years, she served on the Vestry, stewardship and search committees. She also chaired the Country Fair and Memorial Committee, and organized galas, dinners and trips.
A native Philadelphian, Mrs. Simmonds was a graduate of Springside School and Centenary College, Hackettstown, N.J., where she earned an Associate of Arts degree. After graduation, she spent a year working in London, where she met her future husband, the late David F.C. Simmonds.
She was especially known for her love of sewing, gardening, walking her beloved basset hound in Valley Green and traveling extensively with her daughters – from the coast of Maine to remote villages in Malawi.
She is survived by daughters Barbara Simmonds of Palo Alto, Calif., and Caroline Simmonds Cook of Washington, D.C., and sisters, Barbara Baldwin Miller, of Chestnut Hill, and Candace Baldwin Richards, of Scottsdale, Ariz.
A memorial service will be held at 2 p.m. Saturday, March 16, at St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh.
Memorial donations may be made in her name to St. Thomas' Church, Whitemarsh, P.O. Box 247, Fort Washington, PA 19034, or the National Brain Tumor Society, 124 Watertown St., Suite 2D, Watertown, MA 02472. – WF

Basically, pregnenolone is the grandmother of all the steroid hormones. Pregnenolone is able to convert into DHEA, which in turn converts into Andro (short for androstenedione). The body can then convert Andro into testosterone and estrogens.
Steroid hormones are made mostly in the adrenal glands, testicles (in men), and ovaries (in women), but they can also be made in other parts of the body, including the brain, where they are called neurosteroids. Andro and testosterone are known as androgens, while DHEA is known as a pro-androgen since it converts into androgens.
Since Andro is the precursor to testosterone, there has been speculation that Andro has libido boosting properties. There has also been speculation that Andro is beneficial for muscle building.
Andro and Libido
I could not find any research regarding the role of Andro and sex drive. However, there have been countless studies supporting the role of other androgens, such as testosterone, in increasing sex drive and overall sexual enjoyment.
Androgens are known to enhance sexual thoughts and fantasies as well as enhance mood and well-being. Androgens facilitate the action of nitric oxide in causing genital swelling, and they also enhance the sensation of genital organs such as the clitoris and penis. It is possible that androgens also increase sensation of nipples.
Does Andro Build Muscles?
Some body builders anecdotally report that they notice increased strength on the days they work out when they use androstenedione. A highly publicized study indicates that androstenedione may not live up to its hype. The study published in the June 1999 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association compared 300 mg of androstenedione with a dummy pill in 20 men ages 19 to 29 during an eight-week weightlifting program. Researchers found no difference in strength between the two groups of men.
What About Hormone Replacement?
Since Andro converts into testosterone and estrogens, some doctors use it as a substitute for hormone replacement for women after menopause or for older men. Perhaps low doses used for brief periods of time may be helpful, but no long term research is available to compare the benefits versus the risks.
Mechanism of Action
Since Andro converts into testosterone, it does make sense that it should have sex-boosting properties similar to testosterone. Most studies show Andro raises blood levels of testosterone and estrogens. In addition, Andro very likely enters cells of various organs and tissues in the body and converts to testosterone and estrogens within the cells.
My Experience
I personally have not taken Andro since my skin is very sensitive to androgens, I break out in acne within a few days after taking DHEA or even pregnenolone. However, I have definitely noticed libido-boosting effects from DHEA and pregnenolone.
What My Patients Say
Both male and female patients frequently report to me that they notice a libido-boosting effect from this hormone. Others find that they can ejaculate easier. Occasionally someone will notice the effect within an hour, but more commonly the libido enhancement is noticed the next day or third day of use. Hence, if you expect to be sexually active over the weekend, you could take Andro Thursday and Friday.
On the other hand, and I don't know how to explain it, I have had reports from individuals who have noticed a decrease in libido while taking Andro daily for many weeks. A 32 year-old male patient says, "I tried Andro 100 mg a day for 3 weeks while weight training and noticed no positive effects, and if anything my libido appeared to go down."

Many South Forkers don't take or have the time in the warmer months to visit Shelter Island and the North Fork, and many have not been there in years. Here are some ideas for a winter day-trip.
Those who want to take the South and North Ferries across "the Rock," as Shelter Island is called by locals, should bring a camera and cash for the fare, and they should decide how far they want to explore. If venturing only to the island, or throughout the North Fork without a loop through Riverhead, a round-trip ticket should be purchased to save money.
A worthy excursion on Shelter Island is the Mashomack Preserve, managed by the Nature Conservancy. A short drive from the South Ferry, it encompasses a third of the island. There are 1, 3, and 11-mile trails to choose from, with some rarely seen trees, meadows, and shoreline vistas. Admission is free, but donations are encouraged.
History buffs will find something to treasure at Sylvester Manor. Now called an educational farm, its 243 acres recently opened to the public. Monthly tours of the historic manor house began this winter. One of them, on Saturday from 2 to 4 p.m., is called "Life, Labor, and Liberties," about slavery at the manor from 1653 through the Emancipation Proclamation.
When it comes to grabbing a bite on the island, there are several year-round restaurants for all tastes and budgets. Most are conveniently located on the main road, Route 114, which goes from one ferry to the other.
Serving breakfast and lunch at an old-fashioned counter is the Shelter Island Heights Pharmacy. Stars Cafe has healthy dishes for sit-down meals or takeout. The Islander serves all three meals seven days a week, and Sweet Tomato's Italian restaurant is open for dinner Wednesday through Saturday, with brunch and lunch on Saturdays. Fish dinners are available Thursday through Sunday at Clark's Fish House, a recent addition, and upscale dining is offered at Vine Street Cafe, La Maison Blanche, and 18 Bay.
A call ahead to restaurants to confirm hours is advisable, and has been requested by the waterside Dory bar and restaurant. The Eagle Deli is a takeout option for those who might want a scenic picnic at Wades or Crescent Beach.
After February, the Shelter Island Historical Society's Havens House will open for tours and exhibits, as will Commander Cody's Seafood. The Cornucopia Gift Shop is open year round for browsers. Maps of the island are available almost everywhere and offer more ideas of the off-season possibilities.
Those who plan to explore only Greenport can now take advantage of free parking at the North Ferry. You can board as a walk-on passenger for $2 each way and explore the village by foot. (Having a really good time? Be warned: The North Ferry's last boat leaves the dock at midnight.)
Upon arrival in Greenport, on the left is the Long Island Rail Road station. Trains still run to the village, but on a limited schedule. They started arriving in 1844, assisting in the development of farming on the North Fork. Greenport would come to be known for its whaling, oysters, shipbuilding, and fishing. During Prohibition, it was a thriving center for rum-running. Visible reminders of the past can be found all over.
The newer Greenport Harbor Brewing Company, which will soon move to an expanded location farther west on the fork, welcomes visitors. Adult beverages are also served at a range of watering holes, from the saloon-style Whiskey Wind to the more upscale Noah's or Cuvee Bar and Grill within the Greenporter Hotel, which is kicking off a happy hour called Winterfest Bites on weekends beginning tomorrow. It offers dinner and accommodation specials as well.
A favorite among the little ones is an antique carousel in the revitalized Mitchell Park on the waterfront. It was built in 1920 and donated to the village by the Northrop-Grumman Corporation in 1995. Rides cost $2, and for extra fun kids on the outside horses can try to grab brass rings as they pass.
The park also boasts an ice-skating rink, with $5 skate rentals and unlimited loops around the rink for $7 for those under 18 on weekends, $3 midweek. For adults, it's $10 on weekends, $5 midweek. The carousel and skating rink will be open from at least 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. all week during winter break. The rink is open from 3 to 5 p.m. most school days.
Next door to the rink, Aldo's Coffee is a favorite warm-up spot, offering hand-roasted and brewed coffee, handmade hot chocolate, and melt-in-your-mouth homemade scones. There are numerous restaurants to choose from in the maritime village, including the North Fork Oyster Company and First and South, which are not highly visible but within walking distance.
An agenda-free trip along Route 25 or Route 48, which runs parallel, will lead to farm stands, wineries, and boutiques. In Mattituck, Love Lane is surely worth a stop. The Village Cheese Shop is a sure thing for those with a taste for fondue, the Love Lane Sweet Shoppe is a must for gifts and sweets. Across the way is the newly opened BookHampton and Love Lane Kitchen, open seven days a week for breakfast, lunch, and dinner and its own roasted coffee. Mattituck Cinemas is in a nearby shopping center on Route 25, and Tony's Asian Fusion offers happy hour specials on sushi as well as beer and cocktails.

We've made quite a few changes to our living room in the past year. The previous owners in our house painted the room a dark tan color that wasn't our style. We also were not fans of the orange trim, which wasn't salvageable to us anyway since there were so many imperfections in it.
We painted, added crown moulding, and painted the trim and doors white.
This year we added some color into the room by adding curtains, pillows, and accessories. When there aren't trains or Matchbox cars lying all over the floor, the room can look like this.
What a difference a year makes!
And, just so you know, I actually prefer the room when there are little boys playing...

My life with my desktop workstation has been a long-term experience of tolerance and endurance. All too similar to its predecessor, it has successfully carried on the tradition - to this day - of generating endless problems of hardware stability. Following the episode of transplanting a real man's video card into the system to solve my virtual and multi-monitor desktop woes, there was something that I had been tolerating for the past half year.
The replacement GF6800GS card also featured a DVI and VGA db15 port. The video output from the db15 signal had vertical ghosting. Any vivid vertical line, like window and widget borders, and text, would appear slightly double imaged. Reading became a headache-inducing affair on that monitor. I tried hard to place unimportant windows (which did not require much reading) and watched videos on that monitor, but could not avoid the recognition that a software developer's use of multiple monitors is different from a stock market analysis.
I do not monitor graphs and charts or blinking lights. I read and write text on email clients, IDEs, browsers, SDK help pages. It is all text.
So today I finally caved in bought a dual-DVI GF8600GT card to give my eyes the break they deserve. [Side note: my main purchase today was actually an AT-SATA power plug converter because my very first DVD writer (circa 2004) died last night and the only spare drive available was a SATA-based model. But no, I am not complaining about this drive. It was a "natural" death.] On inserting the new card I realise only the right monitor displays the boot-up visual sequence; the left monitor - which was peviously using the db15 cable - simply had no signal. I brushed the worry aside and proceeded with the installation of the drivers. Fortunately, the second time Windows booted up, the left monitor could be configured to output its display. Phew.
Until I started making additional configuration.
My left monitor was the primary monitor but with this new card, the right monitor is the default primary. After assigning the left as primary, I gave the computer another restart and observed strange behaviour. Since on startup, when Windows and the nVidia display driver are still not invovled, the boot sequence is shown on the right. When the Windows driver kicked in, the left monitor was blank despite receiving a video signal. So the black curtain has been pulled over my eyes to blind me from the truth of the logon screen.
So what? I am a keyboard commando who has gotten himself out of trouble with melodic keyboard talent. I logged into Windows blind like Stevie Wonder plays the piano. Hail me. The activity of programming blind, though, is still quite a challenge, but I am working on it.
Ok, so I am logged in, but the left monitor is still blank. After playing around with the nVidia control panel a bit and unbuckling my hip holster to communicate my intent, I managed to persuade the left monitor to give up its details. What is happening? I decided to try an experiment - swap the DVI cable inputs between the monitors - so that the left monitor is the primary monitor right from the beginning. On second reboot, the left monitor still comes out blank.
On a separate aspect, the left monitor with its new DVI input appears to display with a lot more brilliance value than the right monitor, which appears dull and grey like an old monitor when juxtaposed with the left. It is almost as though the left monitor was exploding with joyous "oh thank you!" to me for feeding it with a digital signal now, but at the same time feeling awkward with having to deal with this new language and not behaving consistently like it did with the db15 signal. And then, the right monitor which used to have superior image quality all along suddenly appears jaded and bored.
Perhaps naming this computer "DIABLO" was not a wise move after all. My next desktop shall be named "GABRIEL".

The chilling transcripts from Air France 447 reveal the central conflict dooming the 228 people aboard the plane was not between two inexperienced pilots, but between a pilot and the technology that was supposed to keep him safe that he didn't understand.
There's a serious lesson in this, not only for the aviation industry, but for automakers who hope to make cars safer by taking the controls away from drivers: Don't do it.
An incredible detailed analysis of the recently released transcripts assembled by Popular Mechanics makes a credible case that one of the two junior officers in charge of an Air France flight that crashed in June 2009 was of the belief that he couldn't crash the plane and thus made poor decisions because of misunderstanding the complex systems designed to protect the aircraft.
Junior officer Pierre-Cédric Bonin flew the Airbus 330 into the middle of an intense thunderstorm when, suddenly, the pitot tubes on the exterior of the airplane designed to measure airspeed iced over. When this happens the plane goes from a more controlled autopilot mode to one that puts more control in the hands of the pilot.
Other than losing a sensor, the plane was completely capable of flying. What caused the plane to crash isn't the failure of the sensor, but Bonin's reaction to it. He pulled back on the side stick, which caused the plane to climb. A stall warning was issued, and never stops, but the pilots didn't react to it.
Assuming they're in a mode that makes it nearly impossible to crash the plane, the loss of sensor data causes them to act not irrationally, but counter-intuitively. To try to ascend when they should point the nose down to grab airspeed. To ignore the fact that they were flying towards the ocean at high speed.
Pop Mech ends the transcript with this important and unnerving question:
But the crash raises the disturbing possibility that aviation may well long be plagued by a subtler menace, one that ironically springs from the never-ending quest to make flying safer.
While the airplane's avionics track crucial parameters such as location, speed, and heading, the human beings can pay attention to something else. But when trouble suddenly springs up and the computer decides that it can no longer cope-on a dark night, perhaps, in turbulence, far from land-the humans might find themselves with a very incomplete notion of what's going on. They'll wonder: What instruments are reliable, and which can't be trusted? What's the most pressing threat? What's going on?
Aren't we doing the same thing with cars? Aren't automakers trying to take away the basic controls from the driver and, thus, situational awareness?
I'm not talking about self-driving vehicles, which aren't that far in the future, although it's worth noting that the first Google self-driving car crash occurred after the vehicle switched over from self-driving to human driving.
The best example of this now is adaptive cruise control, which uses radar or laser sensors to allow the driver to "follow" other cars without adjusting throttle or brake inputs. Basically, the driver sets their desired speed and pulls behind another vehicle. If they select 65 mph and pull behind a vehicle traveling below 65 the main car will slow down to the lead car's speed at a certain distance.
In practice, it works quite well 90% of the time. Unfortunately, because the beams shoot straight ahead in most vehicles they read a car going around a bend as "no car" and leap forward. This leads to people thinking their adaptive cruise control is broken and causing them to accelerate dangerously (usually around a curve).
Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak believed his Toyota Prius was faulty and many thought he just didn't understand how the cruise control worked.
If that's the case, and I don't know for sure, what does it say that someone so technologically aware and advanced doesn't fully understand how the system works? I don't think it's the fault of the driver.
I think it's the fault of the company that makes a system that takes away basic information and control from the driver. The system works extremely well when it is fully in control, but when it loses a key piece of information and requires an input from a human — just like in the tragic Air France flight — things can go terribly wrong.
I'm not anti-technology. I think technology can enhance and improve safety. Driverless cars and similar tech is designed primarily as safety equipment. Great. But instead of worrying if we've designed an autonomous system smart enough to drive without crashing when engaged, we need to worry about whether we've designed autonomous systems that are smart enough to not make us dumb when they disengage.
Informed technology and uninformed users can be a deadly combination.
