CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – A 33-yard field goal
by Matt Alksninis coupled with a 12-yard touchdown run from Jamaal
Woods in the fourth quarter helped propel Curry College to a 20-10
win over host MIT in a New England Football Conference (NEFC) Boyd
Division match-up on Saturday. With the win, the Colonels improved
to 4-2 on the year and 3-0 in conference action while the
Engineers' dipped to 1-4 overall and 1-2 in the Boyd
Each side put together drives of 10 plays before a three-and-out by Curry gave MIT the ball at its own 31. Runs by DeRon Brown, including a 15-yard scamper, paired with a seven-yard strike from Kyle Johnson to Justin Kresz put the ball at the Colonels' eight-yard line. Kenniel Velez and Curtis Ushry pushed the Engineers back two yards on a rushing attempt by Johnson before he suffered a nine-yard sack by Scott Driscoll. Corey Garvey then converted a 36-yard field goal attempt to put the Cardinal and Gray on the board with 1:26 remaining in the opening frame.
Curry quickly evened the contest on a seven-play, 32-yard drive that spanned less than three minutes. Ignited by a 15-yard kickoff return from Taylor LeClair, Zach Cavanaugh completed passes of nine and 19 yards to Samuel Victoria and Jamaal Woods that put the ball at the MIT 26. Bruce Vieira's six-yard dash put the Colonels' in the red zone, however, Woods lost three yards on his next rushing attempt as Russell Spivak made the stop for the Engineers. After an incomplete pass, Alksninis booted a career-long 41-yard field goal attempt to knot the game with 13:40 left to play in the half.
MIT reclaimed the lead on its ensuing drive as a 30-yard kickoff return by Brian Doyle put the Engineers just past midfield. On a third-and-eight, Nate Forbes snagged a nine-yard pass before a one-yard loss by Brown placed MIT at Curry's 39. Johnson then launched a pass to Mike Fitzgerald who made a diving grab for the touchdown. With 6:29 on the clock and the ball at the Engineers' 27, an incomplete pass was followed by a quarterback keeper by Cavanaugh that tied the game at 10.
The deadlock would hold for the remainder of the half and through the third quarter. Curry had a chance to take the lead midway through the third period as Jon Chattman registered a trio of catches that netted 53 yards and helped moved the Colonels to the MIT 19. The Engineers thwarted the scoring attempt when Brian Mickle forced a fumble and recovered the loose ball one yard back.
Curry mounted its go-ahead drive late in the third frame as a 25-yard run from Cavanaugh and then a 19-yard reception by Woods moved the visitors to the MIT 19. A fumble that was recovered by Woods resulted in an eight-yard loss, but he along with Cavanaugh combined for 11 yards on the next two rushes which put the ball at the 16. Alksninis then capped what proved to be the game-winning drive with the 33-yard boot.
Alksninis followed with a 52-yard kickoff which Nate Forbes returned for 38 yards and put the hosts at the Curry 44. Brown registered a 14-yard run, but a fumble and its recovery by Brown moved the Engineers back to the 25. After an incomplete pass, Mike Murray recorded a five-yard sack of Johnson to end the scoring threat.
The Colonels extended their margin on their next drive, as a 14-yard rush by Cavanaugh put his squad at midfield. Jon Sughrue made the next three carries which yielded 34 yards. After a penalty pushed Curry back five yards, Chattman completed a nine-yard pass to Robert Bambini. Woods then sprinted 12 yards for the touchdown.
The ensuing kickoff was fumbled by Nate Forbes and then recovered by Curry's Patrick Hannon at the MIT 15. On the first play of the Colonels' drive Chattman was picked off by Doyle at the one-yard line. The Engineers moved the ball to their own 33 but could go no further.
Brown finished with a game-high 203 yards on the ground, marking the second week in a row he has surpassed the 200-yard mark. Johnson went 9-of-17 for 105 yards as Fitzgerald notched three catches for 58 yards. Pete Gilliland posted 14 tackles while KC Weaver and Patrick Jupe each registered 10. Alex Rubino racked up eight tackles including 1.5 for a loss of six yards.
Cavanaugh tallied 87 rushing yards on six attempts to go along with 163 yards in the air, including a 46-yard catch by Chattman that closed the first half. Sughrue totaled 100 rushing yards on 15 carries while Chattman caught five passes for 111 yards. Driscoll amassed 13 tackles (11 solo), including a nine-yard sack, as Murray collected 12 tackles (eight solo) and a five-yard sack. Kevin McCarthy put up eight tackles with two for a loss of three yards while Daniel Dawson recorded six tackles that featured a six-yard sack.
Both squads continue divisional play next Saturday, Oct. 17. MIT will travel to Western New England College while Curry will host Endicott College.

An Infographic Profile of the Modern Travel Blogger
An Infographic Profile of the Modern Travel Blogger from the Sandymount Hotel in Dublin, Ireland, takes a closer look at answering the question "Who are these travel bloggers?"
As today marks the start of the TBEX European Conference – the world's largest gathering of travel bloggers, writers and new media content creators – we thought we would celebrate their choice of Dublin as this years' venue with an infographic profile of the modern travel blogger.
Today and tomorrow, Dublin will play host to scores of travel bloggers and writers, but what makes a contemporary travel blogger? It's an interesting and pertinent question – it's a demanding occupation (albeit a fun one!) and one that requires a huge amount of hard work, dedication and the potential of not making a huge amount of money, at least in the formative years.
So what's the average profile of the modern travel blogger? How old are they? What countries do they visit? How do they monetise their writing and what contemporary technology do they utilise to facilitate their writing? To answer these questions and numerous others, we completed an in-depth survey of travel bloggers, giving us some revealing and unique insights into what makes up a travel blogger.
Rather than present all our finding in a page of text, we thought we'd turn them into a far more eye-catching format, so here's our infographic profile of the modern travel blogger:
The design is clean with a great color palette. It's easy for readers to look through the information quickly.
A few of the statistics are shown in text only, while others are visualized. The stats in text only will be perceived as less important by readers, and I don't think that was the intent of the designers. If the data is important enough to include in the infographic, they should also be visualized.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (AP) Hunter Harris led four in double figures with 25 points and Lester Wilson posted a double-double in East Tennessee State's 89-75 come-from-behind victory Saturday over Atlantic Sun rival North Florida.
Jarvis Jones added 19, Rashawn Rembert had 12 and Wilson finished with 15 points and 10 rebounds for ESTU (6-15, 4-4), which beat North Florida at home for the eighth straight time.
The Ospreys (8-14, 3-6) led 47-33 at intermission but made just four of 11 shots and committed five turnovers over the first 10 minutes of the second half as ETSU rallied to tie it 57-all.
Rembert's 3-pointer gave ETSU a 60-57 advantage, then after two Baebae Daniels free throws cut it to one, Harris hit two at the line that ignited a 29-16 Buccaneers run over the final 8:41.
Parker Smith scored 26 points for North Florida, which shot 27.6 percent (8 of 29) in the second half.

Return to the summer of '73 and adventure through Alaska as a Smokejumper. In an odyssey of movement and beauty we move across Alaska, jumping fires from Kodiak Island to the shadows of Denali, and in the winds of Isabel Pass.
The smokejumpers themselves are a varied lot - several are ex-Air America bad boys recently back from covert CIA operations in Southeast Asia, and in no mood to take orders from anyone. The rest of the crew is made up of transfers and no-rehires from the jump bases in the Lower 48 where strict, top-down, authoritarian management made it hard, if not impossible, for them to fit in. Being stuck on Fort Wainwright in a dark and dreary hangar, surrounded by chain link fences and gravel lots, and under the eye of the Army Military Police is a recipe for disaster with a healthy serving of rebellion, heroism, pranks and humor thrown in.
Adventure with these smokejumpers as they ultimately come together in an outrageous testimony to the joy of living life fully and playfully in one of America's last great true-life adventures.

I have been using Linux on my Acer 5740 for a couple of years now. Lately, I noticed that my computer starts heating up and steadies at around 70 degrees. If I fire up Eclipse or ffmpeg or something, the computer shoots to 85-90 degrees. Maybe this has happened before but I might have ignored it.
I have a dual-boot with Windows 7 and 70 degrees is the maximum even when I play games.
I expect Linux to heat up a little because of drivers but 70 degrees @ idling is a little too much.
My prior research on this shows:
A friend of mine with exact same Laptop but with an ATI card instead of the Intel (present on mine) was struggling with heat problems of much greater intensity. He installed fgrlx and his Laptop is as cool as Siberia.
I have attempted to install Intel drivers for my card. I have the latest version of Xorg and xorg for Intel. It doesn't help.
The problem is independent of Distribution. I have tried Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora and FreeBSD.
The graph for temperature versus time after boot-up is fairly steady. There are no sudden jumps.
All temperatures are in Celcius and correspond to
max(acpi -t)
Any solutions?
Edit: My CPU if scaled at 933MHz still doesn't help. I can't find Fan Control for my Laptop. There are few scripts for Acer Aspire One but I can't find one for 5740.
/proc/acpi/fan folder is empty!

Brazil's dream of winning an elusive Olympic soccer gold came a step closer when they thrashed South Korea 3-0 in the semifinals at Old Trafford on Tuesday.
The victory sets up a title decider against Mexico at Wembley Stadium on Saturday after the Mexicans beat Japan 3-1 in the earlier last four clash. Brazil, whose obsession with winning gold is matched by few other countries, won with second-half goals from forward Leandro Damiao, now tournament top scorer with six, after a 38th minute opener from Romulo in front of a 69,389 crowd.
Damiao said: "I'm so happy, we have made a huge effort to reach the final. We are here to win the gold medal - it was a tough match but we are a great team. We are Brazil - we are here for the gold."
Defender Rafael, who plays for Manchester United, added: "It was an amazing feeling to be playing for Brazil on my home ground. "We were confident, the coach was confident - and the final will be different to every other match we have played."
The pre-tournament favourites, who have been trying to win the Olympic title for 60 years, coming closest with silver in 1984 and 1988, have now won all five games at the London Olympics scoring three goals in each with a tally of 15 to 5.
South Korea caused them problems at the start and had an early penalty claim turned down when Juan Jesus's foot clumsily connected with Ji Dong-won's face in the six-yard box but, apart from a few chances from Ji, they never really threatened.
Korea now face Japan in what is likely to be a lively battle for the bronze medal at Cardiff's Millennium Stadium on Friday while Brazil will hope to be crowned Olympic champions at last against Mexico on Saturday. The Koreans, who squeezed into the semis after beating hosts Britain on penalties, defended stubbornly until the 38th minute, showing why they had only conceded two goals all tournament.
But Korea lost the ball on the halfway line to Neymar and Brazil, who became more imperious as the game wore on, broke away with the playmaker feeding Oscar, who glided past a line of hapless defenders before finding Romulo on his right.
He planted the ball into a near-post gap with goalkeeper Lee Bum-young arriving too late to get a hand or leg to it.
Damiao capitalised on more good work by Neymar to make it 2-0 after 57 minutes and the game was settled seven minutes later when the forward took advantage of more poor Korean defending for his second and Brazil's third goal.
Brazil, who first competed in the Olympics soccer tournament in 1952, also have two bronze medals from 1996 and 2008.

Disbelief, frustration, anger and utter sadness were some of the emotions felt worldwide recently when Casey Anthony was ruled "not guilty" in a Florida court of law for the death of her daughter, Caylee.
So many people followed that case, and many of those people were outraged when the verdict was announced, almost as if Caylee had been their own child.
And, in a way, Caylee was our child.
She was my child.
She was your child.
She was this country's child that we, as human beings, feel an innate need to protect.
But, unfortunately, Caylee's fate was out of our control. As for her mother, Casey, we all have our own opinion regarding what her fate should have been and what her eternal fate will most likely be.
But, no matter the verdict... No matter the outcome... Caylee is gone and we all are left to grieve for the loss of such a precious little soul. And, while others grieve, many of us are still angry and disgusted but don't have anywhere to channel that negative energy.
Or, do we?
Recently, a letter to the editor published in People Magazine's Aug. 8th edition offered what I believe to be an excellent suggestion.
The verdict is in and a little girl is gone - neither can be changed. The anger and frustration this case has generated need to be channeled into something positive that can benefit other children. I hope people consider making a donation to Texas EquuSearch, a group that tried to find Caylee, or any other donor-supported organization that helps kids and their families.
Wendy Childress
Merritt Island, Fla.
As many of you know, Texas EquuSearch, which led the 2008 search for Caylee Anthony, has taken on the Kara Tingle Rigdon case. Kara, 28, of Gravel Switch has been missing since July 17, 2010.
Tim Miller, the founder of Texas EquuSearch, had planned to begin the search for Kara months ago, but ended up in the hospital and had to have surgery. He also got tied up with the Casey Anthony case. In fact, last month, Miller and his search group filed a civil suit against Anthony to recoup expenses in the 2008 search for Caylee. The lawsuit claims that the time and effort dedicated to the Anthony search diverted resources from the group's ability to help 15 other families.
One of those 15 families was Kara's family.
Thankfully, the Texas search group has agreed to help in the search for Kara, and her family is more than grateful. As a way to show our appreciation, we could all donate to the Kara Tingle Rigdon Reward Fund and/or the Texas EquuSearch organization. It's a small way we all could potentially help find Kara and be a voice for both Kara and Caylee.
To read more about Texas EquuSearch, or to make a donation, go to texasequusearch.org.
To make a donation to the Kara Tingle Rigdon Reward Fund (which is currently $11,000) send your check to Peoples Bank, P.O. Box 5, Lebanon, Kentucky 40033. You may also drop your donation off at any Peoples Bank location. Please make your check payable to the "Kara Tingle Rigdon Reward Fund."
Search group offers $5,000 for information
Texas EquuSearch is willing to give a $5,000 reward to anyone who has any information that could help in the search for Kara Tingle Rigdon.
If anyone has any information related to Kara's case, call the Texas EquuSearch Team toll free at 1 (877) 270-9500 or (281) 309-9500. You can also call the Kentucky State Police at 1 (800) 222-5555. Detective Jamie Richard of the Kentucky State Police is in charge of the investigation. Tips can be made anonymously.

My gf and I had this pretty spirited debate over dinner two nights ago about my atheism. She seems to be increasingly concerned with me (she's catholic) as our relationship grows. I worry that my atheism will grow between us. Or to say, her problem with my atheism.
She brings up atheism more than me and gets increasingly angry as we discuss, while I stay level-headed. The subject of this discussion was "Why are Atheists so noisy?"
I tried to compare our out campaigns with gay right, black rights, women's right all of those things, which to me are pretty comparable, but she's black and got kind of offended when I compared our trials and tribulations with that of african american struggles. I changed it up and only compared it to homosexualtiy and women's rights.
She then countered that we don't need to come out because we can't change anything, there's too few of us. I told her that we are trying to get a wider following, trying to encourage freethinkers to come out.
She then asked something that kind of hurt, she said "Why do you need to come out? Just live your lives like everyone else and be happy with it. You don't need to be so loud about your atheism and cause problems for yourself."
I was at a loss for words. I wanted to express that it's not fair to need to hide, it's important to live our lives but she honestly doens't see a point to our cause.
I'm wondering what you guys might have said in my shoes, or why you personally think our cause is a noble one? I still believe it is but I am curious about what we are hoping to accomplish. I wish I was much more active in the atheist movement. all I seem to do is retweet and come on this website. How could I get more involved?

Tell her that if theists didn't come out... atheists wouldn't either.
I don't think there is anything that you can say or do to convince your girlfriend that Atheism is a noble cause. She is basically telling you to shut up about it and that she does not want to hear about it anymore. Here is your revealing statement, and you even recognized the hurtful nature of what she said:
'She then asked something that kind of hurt, she said "Why do you need to come out? Just live your lives like everyone else and be happy with it. You don't need to be so loud about your atheism and cause problems for yourself.'
She is more concerned about herself, and about how dating an atheist will make her look to her family and peers than she is about you. She really meant that you were going to cause problems for her; I see very little concern for you in her actual words. She was just clever enough to disguise her statement as concern for you and all the 'problems' that atheism may or may not cause for you. I meant, honestly, what problems does atheism cause? Atheism is like a lack of problems, at least religious ones. Religion causes all kinds of problems for its followers: guilt, powerlessness over ones own life, many many wasted hours worshiping absolutely nothing, war, child molestation, genocide, etc, etc, etc, etc... I see that someone has suggested you watch the 'Why are you atheists so angry' video and I highly recommend you do that! Have your girlfriend watch it with you and see what she has to say about all the crazy BS that religion has caused since, well, the dawn of all time. LOL.
If she really cared about you, she would respect your beleifs as you do hers - you must respect them, however minutely, just to be in a relationship with her - and, I'm sorry, telling you to shut up about it is not respect. You should probably evaluate what you want out of this relationship and where you want it to go. If you were ever to have kids with her, it will probably be a deal breaker when it comes to how you will raise your children.
I wish you all the best! I hope you can work something out. I know that relationships take a lot of time and energy to build and maintain and I always hate to see someone struggling like this.
Hhhhmmm, I've been there couple times. And, previously I always choose to end those hectic relationships. Because of it, I've got a kind of "traumatic" sense. The consequence is: I've been single during this 2 years.
Currently, I've a crush on a theistic woman (again). She's moslem, but thx God she's not wearing the headscarf. But she still pray 5 times a day, fasting during fasting month, etc 3x. So, I'm not sure whether I will step toward more serious relationship or not.
Based on my previous experiences: If I tell them the real me, that's gonna be problems. Even if she's a liberal progressive theistic person, that's still gonna be problems. Probably she won't react immediately, particularly when she's still in a heavenly love madness state. But later: She will.
Because of it, now I'm considering for not telling her about my godless. I'll pretend that I'm a nice prefect theistic person. I know, that probably sounds so naive to all of you. But, I've been there many many times and it's not with the same person. And my clock is thicking. So, I guess, now it's time for me trying to be a "wiser" person.
Keith, my opinion on your case is: If you still have time, just get another person. But if you don't, just try to make a deal with it.We must thx to God for creating us as atheist people. That's a priceless gift from him. Anyway, since english in not my native, hopefully anybody here can understand my english.
Atheists don't thank God for anything. God does not exsist. Are you sure you're an atheist?
Yeah, "thx God" is just a kidding. I live in a religious state, so must familiar with those kind of phrases :)
Oh, ok! I am so sorry! I feel bad now!
I'd never even consider pretending to be theistic, it'd end up causing far too much of a headache. The way I see it is; if they can't accept you for who you are, then they are not the right person for you.
I know that sounds like a line from some crappy chick flick but lets face it, it's actually quite a good way to look at things.
But I think you would not think so if you lived in a religious country just like I do :) Btw, I like your "crappy chick flick" phrase. That's cool :)
admittedly I do live in a pretty relaxed country when it comes to religion, though I do have some experience in what I preach; when I was younger...and dumber, I once got into a long term relationship with a girl who was VERY anti-smoking...I smoke like a chimney and tried to hide it from her for 3 months.
It just ends up turning the relationship quite nasty!
You smoke like chimney? LOL. Same as me, Bro :)
Yeah, god and theism aside, you cannot base a relationship on a lie of ANY kind. If you pretend to believe in god just to please someone else, you are eventually going to be found out and the whole thing will explode on your face. You will most lilkely lose the relationship because you lied to the other person, not because you don't believe in god.
Not to mention, how can you be in a relationship with a person that you cannot be yourself around? You are only going to be able to pull that off for so long before you can't take it anymore, and you should have more respect for yourself than that!
Yeah, I know what you mean. But it's not easy to find atheist people in here :)

These days, building owners and facility managers have important reasons to use the most efficient lighting equipment and control systems. A new study prepared by Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL), Berkeley, Calif., indicates that today's lighting control techniques can reduce lighting energy an average of 24% to 38% in commercial buildings.
Because building new power plants is prohibitively expensive in most every locale, energy-starved states, such as California, are demanding significant reduction in energy consumption over the next decade. For example, California's Assembly Bill 32 requires that commercial buildings reduce their energy consumption 50% by 2018.
To promote ongoing reductions in electrical energy use, local, state, and federal energy codes are continuously becoming more restrictive. The ASHRAE/IESNA Standard 90.1-2010, "Energy Standard for Buildings Except Low-Rise Residential Buildings," which must be adopted by all states in the United States by 2013, requires not just turning off lighting in unoccupied spaces, but also multilevel dimming for most spaces — no longer are exemptions granted for spaces that have occupancy sensors. It also requires automatic multilevel daylight control for day-lit zones, skylight zones greater than 900 sq ft, and side-lighting zones greater than 250 sq ft.
The standard's automatic shutoff control requirements must be met if the lighting alterations in an existing building involve the replacement of more than 10% of the connected lighting load. This rule greatly expands the application of the new ASHRAE standard into existing buildings.
A recent news story highlights the importance of lighting and controls in the design and construction of buildings. The Illuminating Engineering Society (IES), New York, is joining forces with the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), Arlington, Va., to exchange information and provide standards development in intelligent building systems, energy efficiency, and sustainability initiatives. This agreement promotes a true integration of lighting systems and communications/controls and serves as a step toward achieving truly high-performance buildings, or "intelligent" buildings (see SIDEBAR 1: Standards Development).
Thus, we can look forward to having the lighting systems of tomorrow being able to communicate with other building systems in an interactive manner. A scientist and energy-efficiency lighting expert at LBNL's Environmental Energy Technologies Division, Francis Rubenstein did a study using a federal building as the research model. It showed that occupant-responsive lighting and personal controls resulted in 40% less lighting energy use than an energy-code compliant baseline system that had low power density but was manually switched.
Rubenstein believes that fluorescent lighting will continue to dominate the general lighting market and that, in the near-term future, solid-state LED and fluorescent lighting will coexist in hybrid systems — in combination with advanced lighting controls, achieving vast improvements in light efficiency. However, let's look at the basic technology of lighting controls first.
Understanding Lighting Controls
Lighting control can be defined as hardware — and software — systems that regulate the intensity level of the light output in response to a command or action. Today's lighting controls fit into four main categories, according to their size and function:
- Distributed networked systems offering total lighting control management.
- Scalable panel systems using low-voltage, mechanically held, single- and double-pole latching relays.
- Architectural/commercial control systems handling a variety of control applications and using input devices that vary from keypads to touchscreen controllers.
- Networked devices and wall box dimmers.
In aggregate, this equipment can provide occupancy/vacancy control, daylight harvesting, time scheduling, task level tuning, lumen maintenance, and personal control within a workspace. Ceiling- and wall-mounted vacancy/occupancy sensors, which are in their third generation of development and use a combination of PIR technology and a microprocessor containing advanced logic circuits for detecting motion, can combine motion detection, infrared (IR) remote control reception, and ambient light level detection.
Conceptually, daylight harvesting is a simple process. A photo sensor detects the amount of daylight coming in through the windows or skylights in a building. That light-level information is sent to a control module that directs specific lighting fixtures to lower their light output.
Time scheduling is ideal for controlling lighting where people work a predictable schedule, such as open offices, retail sales floors, and similar applications. It also works for spaces that are intermittently occupied but where lighting should be kept on (such as corridors, lobbies, parking lots, etc.) for safety reasons. A low-voltage control system, in which local controls are wired to a low-voltage relay bank housed in a lighting panelboard, is ideal for microprocessor or time-clock scheduling.
Task-level tuning adjusts the light level to suit the task, thus solving the problem of commercial spaces being reconfigured or repurposed for different users or tasks. Lumen maintenance compensates for the aging and degradation of a lighting system over time. Personal control refers to the use of a PC, telephone, or hand-held wireless device that allows an individual to set a preferred light level for a specific visual task, such as reading or computer use.
Methods of Control
The dimming control of light sources, which may be done in steps or over a continuous range, can be conveniently separated into nine methods:
- Also called load-shedding, step dimming — whether it is two, three, or multilevel stepped dimming — is a reasonably economical method of achieving a reduction in light output in applications where two or more light levels are desired or required by code (see SIDEBAR 2: Demand Response Control).
- Two-wire, analog line voltage, forward phase control (incandescent and other loads).
- Two-wire, analog line voltage, reverse phase control (incandescent and other loads such as LED sources).
- Two-wire, analog line voltage (Power Class 1) for fluorescent dimming.
- Three-wire, analog line voltage (Power Class 1) for fluorescent dimming.
- Four-wire, analog low-voltage 0VDC to 10VDC (Class 2) for fluorescent dimming.
- Two-wire, low-voltage digital control for fluorescent dimming (DALI specifications or similar designs).
- DMX 512 standard for digital communication networks is commonly used to control stage lighting and visual effects, such as fog machines. It is unidirectional and uses EIA-485 differential signaling at the physical layer. Because it is specialized, this protocol will not be discussed.
Two- wire, pulse-width modulation (PWM) of direct current for LED dimming (to be covered in a future article).
Let's look at the second through seventh methods in more detail.
The best known and most widely used dimming control device (other than a snap switch), the forward phase control dimmer fits inside a standard, single-gang wall box. Since its development as a practical solid-state dimming device more than 50 years ago, it has seen prolific growth in homes and other locations, rendering the rheostat essentially obsolete. Using either a thyristor or a TRIAC circuit, the forward phase device, which is also called a forward phase cut dimmer, operates only during the last portion of each alternating current half-cycle, clipping the AC sine wave, smoothly reducing the power sent to the resistive load of a tungsten filament. It is typically used for both incandescent and magnetic low-voltage (MLV) transformer loads, as well as neon, cold-cathode, and some types of fluorescent dimming ballasts, along with some LED power supplies, making it the most common method of dimming control.
A second type of wall box dimmer (called reverse phase control or reverse phase cut), using field effect transistors (FEY) or isolated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT) circuits, operates only during the initial portion of each alternating current half-cycle, clipping the AC sine wave. It is typically referred to as an electronic low-voltage (ELV) dimmer, which serves lower-powered light sources and is used for capacitive loads, such as LED drivers. ELV loads have large impedance changes. Although more expensive than a forward phase type, it has little or no audible noise.
The 2-wire, line voltage, analog phase control dimming method for fluorescent lamps uses a relatively economical forward phase-cut incandescent dimmer, and the wiring to the ballast is a conventional 2-conductor switched lighting circuit with the dimming signal delivered through the phase conductor. This control method is ideal for serving existing fluorescent luminaires, and at least three ballast manufacturers offer this product.
The 3-wire, line voltage, analog phase control dimming method for fluorescent lamps uses a specialized type of forward phase-cut dimmer with three conductors: dimmed hot (the control signal), switched hot, and the neutral conductor to serve electronic dimming ballasts. Although it is the oldest fluorescent dimming method, it provides very reliable performance.
The 4-wire, low-voltage, 0VDC to 10VDC (Class 2) analog dimming method for fluorescent lamps is perhaps the most widely used control method. This wiring configuration requires a line voltage switch to shut off the dimming ballasts.
The 2-wire, low-voltage digital dimming method for fluorescent lamps, called the Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) open-protocol communications system, is similar to a 0VDC to 10VDC system in that it uses a separate low-voltage control circuit. But unlike a 0VDC to 10VDC control system, which sets the ballast output according to the analog voltage level on the control circuit and is unidirectional, a DALI system uses digital bidirectional commands, sent between a ballast and the control system at a baud rate of 1,200 bits/sec. A high SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) enables the signal to overcome a large amount of ambient noise on the circuit without degradation. Operating conditions, such as total hours of use, light level, or failed lamps, can be monitored through the network. The lamp-failure reporting feature allows quick identification of the fixture location, which is especially important in a large facility or in applications where the lamps are behind the lens of a recessed fixture.
Using a non-polarized, 2-conductor, 24VDC cable, carrying a maximum of 240mA, the control wiring for a DALI system can be in a bus, star, or tree topology — or any combination of these. Additionally, the power circuit layout to the luminaires is independent of the control circuit layout, allowing them to be wired separately in the most convenient manner. Because each ballast receives its own digital address, a control zone can be changed without a need to alter either the power wiring or the control wiring. The control conductors can be Class 2 wiring, or the control conductor may be installed in the same conduit as the power conductors. Thus, it would be designated as Class 1 wiring. A 5-wire prefabricated wiring assembly can also be specified.
Digital control (whether a DALI system or something similar) is considered to be the future of linear fluorescent dimming systems (see SIDEBAR 3: Electronic Circuitry Adds Efficiency). Although dimming fluorescent ballasts have been available for years, their high cost has limited their use. But driven by the use of daylight harvesting techniques in new construction, the sale of these ballasts has increased recently. In addition, their costs have fallen dramatically.
Originally developed by four ballast manufacturers in Europe, DALI is now a U.S. standard (NEMA 243-2006, "Digital Addressable Lighting Interface (DALI) Control Devices Protocol"). To help solve the problem of compatibility of components from different manufacturers, NEMA's Joint Sections Committee on DALI partnered with the California Energy Commission in 2008 to author an expanded DALI protocol called the NEMA Digital Lighting Controls Open Protocol. It essentially establishes an open digital communications protocol for all types of lighting equipment, allowing them to work together.
A number of lighting equipment manufacturers offer a digital dimming system with the same general capabilities as a DALI system; however, they may use their own communication protocols and associated hardware to deliver a complete lighting system. For example, one manufacturer offers DALI-compliant, addressable, 20A, electrically latched lighting relays that allow for the creation of distributed control systems without the cost and space requirements of central panels and home-run circuits.
Energy regulations will continue to prompt building owners to consider lighting controls in each upgrade project. As projects are finished, these systems pay for themselves because of the energy savings, and the people working in the offices are more productive.
SIDEBAR 1: Standards Development
In July, 2012, the Telecommunications Industry Association (TIA), Arlington, Va., announced that its TR-42.1 Subcommittee on Commercial Building Telecommunications Cabling will revise TIA-862-A Building Automation System (BAS) Cabling Standard, which was first published in April 2011. This revision will be titled "Intelligent Building Systems Cabling Standard," and the aim is to promote the total operating efficiencies of buildings and to enhance STEP rating certification. STEP refers to the Sustainable Technology Environments Program, a rating system and guide managed by the STEP foundation, a non-profit organization made up of technical trade association representatives, their members, and supporters. The purpose is to have sustainability rating systems, such as the U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) rating system, recognize the value of these technologies in reducing energy use in buildings.
Most likely, the new document will become the 862-B standard. The integration of multiple systems (lighting, HVAC, access control, etc.) into a single IP network simplifies monitoring and control. Thus, a structural cabling installation allows information from one system to be shared and acted upon by other systems.
In August, 2012, an honorary and friendship agreement was signed between the TIA and the Illuminating Engineering Society (IES) "to exchange information and promote harmonious standards development in the areas of intelligent building systems, energy efficiency and sustainable initiatives." TIA President Grant Seiffert noted that, "Convergence is here, today, and is extending well beyond the traditional phone and data services into others, like illumination." William Hanley, executive vice president of IES, added, "The illumination industry has realized that the key to maximizing energy-efficiency lies in the use of technologies that are integrated and work intelligently to control the function and operating time of building lighting systems."
SIDEBAR 2: Demand Response Control
A line-voltage, step-dimming ballast could be considered one of the most economical dimming control options, while also being a low-cost solution for satisfying demand response (DR) control. A DR program automatically reduces a building's electric power consumption by shedding some lighting loads (through dimming or switching) during times of peak electric utility demand.
Doug Avery, a project manager with Southern California Edison, an Edison International Co., believes this procedure is the most cost-effective way to shed electrical load. Avery helped to establish the California Advanced Lighting Control Training Program (CALCTP) at Southern California Edison with help from manufacturers, labor unions, the California Lighting Technology Center, and regional community colleges. The CALCTP trains electrical contractors on bidding, installing, commissioning, and maintaining lighting control systems. This program includes a business development seminar for owners/managers of the contracting firm and a course for mid-level managers of the same firm. All three are required for a project to be CALCTP recognized. The program is open to both union and non-union contractors. As of April 2012, 1,885 electricians have been trained and certified.
Sidebar 3: Electronic Circuitry Adds Efficiency
An electronic linear fluorescent dimming ballast changes the 60 cycle waveform from the power source into a high frequency AC waveform while also regulating the current flow. Constant current pulse width modulation is used for the dimming function, which is expressed as a factor (percentage) of relative lamp output, or power. The dimming range extends from full output (100%) to the lowest level, typically 1%. Full output, in turn, is based on the ballast factor (e.g. 0.88, 1.00 or 1.18). Generally, the change in light output — either raising or lowering — is not noticeable to the occupants. Interestingly, when fluorescent lamps are dimmed, the human eye may perceive a higher light level than is actually being produced, because of adaptation.

Feathered dino fossil found in Germany
Feathered find German researchers say they have discovered a fossil of a feathered hatchling that may be the earliest evidence of a plumed, meat-eating dinosaur that was not closely related to birds.
The fossil is believed to belong to a young land-based dinosaur from the Late Jurassic period, some 170 million years ago, according to the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Named Sciurumimus albersdoerferi, in part after its bushy, squirrel-like tail - tree squirrels come from the genus Sciurus - it is the "most complete megalosauroid fossil yet," the study's authors write.
Megalosauroid is the name for a wide-ranging group of carnivorous dinosaurs that could grow as big as nine metres and weighed up to one tonne.
The fossil, which shows a juvenile dinosaur with its jaws open and tail extending far over its head, was found in a quarry in Bavaria, Germany.
The hatchling likely had a large skull, shorter hind limbs and smooth skin with feathers covering its entire body.
Earlier this year, palaeontologists in China said they had found a bizarre species of giant feathered dinosaur that weighed as much as a car and was related to the Tyrannosaurus rex.
The soil has been dated to around 125 million years ago to the mid-Cretaceous period, at the peak of the dinosaurs' long reign over the planet.
That new species was named Yutyrannus huali, an amalgam of Latin and Mandarin which means "beautiful feathered tyrant."

Physical therapy is something that no ones wants to go through, and when we do go through it most of us are not very good at doing our exercises at home. I know I was never very consistent when I had to do it, and that probably hindered my progress more than I would like to admit. The reality is that the exercises are often difficult to understand from a blurry printout that has been copied a couple of hundred times. Even if you do understand them, they are usually pretty boring and you just stop doing them after awhile.
Combining gaming and exercise is not really a new concept, but it is rapidly growing in popularity. It is along those same lines that New Media Medicine at the MIT Media Lab is trying to improve the effectiveness of physical therapy. Oovit PT is a virtual rehabilitation system that helps make physical therapy for enjoyable, and also more effective.
This video gives a short demonstration of how it works:
Oovit PT was originally designed to work with the Wii remote, but has since been modified to work with wockets which are much smaller. The smaller size encourages users to participate longer, as well as being able to track other activity and motion throughout the person's day. This information can be used to help assess the effectiveness of the physical therapy, as well as to help recognize activities that may be harming the patient's progress. It is even reasonable to think that doctors could give real-time feedback to their patients through cell phones.
It is also being developed as a CollaboRhythm plug-in to make physical therapy even more interactive. This would allow the doctor to monitor progress, make recommendations, and provide social support.
Motion sensing devices are becoming more and more useful in the healthcare industry, and the sky really is the limit when it comes to their application. I genuinely feel like there is nothing out of reach if we simply get the right minds working on it.

Christie's New York announces sale of selected works from the Herbert Collection this November
Mario Merz (1925-2003), 6765, eighty three stacks of newspapers, glass plates and neon tubes. Executed in 1976. Estimate: $750,000-950,000. Photo: Christie's Images Ltd 2011.
to announce the auction on November 9, 2011, of selected works from the celebrated Anton and Annick Herbert Collection of Minimal Art, Conceptual Art and Arte Povera. Formed in Ghent, Belgium, by the Herberts, beginning in the 1960s, the collection is considered to be one of the most important in the world and has been exhibited publicly all over Europe. The collection is notable for its high quality, its critical engagement with key issues of the 1960s, 70s and 80s, and its origins in the personal relationships enjoyed by the Herberts with the visionary artists they supported. A total of 35 exceptional pieces from the collection will be offered at auction in New York on 9th November 2011 and are expected to fetch $5 million to $7 million in support of establishing the Herbert Art Center.
The Anton and Annick Herbert Collection is a unique assembly of works, collected over the course of three decades and encompassing the pivotal years 1968 to 1989. These dates, so significant in the course of history, include the counter-revolutionary youth movements that moved across Europe, and the fall of the Berlin Wall that dramatically radicalized the social and cultural sphere in the West. The artists that Annick and Anton Herbert have championed and continue to support have all played a critical part in the evolutions of this era. Uniting names such as Carl Andre, Giovanni Anselmo, Robert Barry, Hanne Darboven, Douglas Huebler, Joseph Kosuth, Sol LeWitt, Richard Long, Mario Merz, Bruce Nauman, Mike Kelley, Franz West, Lawrence Wiener and Martin Kippenberger, the collection includes some of the greatest adherents of Minimalism, Art Povera and Conceptual Art, as well as those ciphers acting in the spaces between. Together, the works in the collection form an open dialogue, capturing the essence of contemporary debate during this pivotal moment in art history. The auction of this section of the collection provides an extraordinary opportunity for others to participate in a spirit of adventure best expressed by Anton Herbert himself when he said, ‗We have not collected works of art, but a new way of thinking.
Francis Outred, International Director, Head of Post-War & Contemporary Art, Europe, stated: ―It is an absolute privilege for Christies to be able to handle selected works from the collection of Annick and Anton Herbert, quite simply one of the most important and defining collections of post-war art. Encompassing all of the elements which have driven their refined taste over forty years of collecting, the auction encompasses key works from the Minimalist, Conceptual and Arte Povera movements as well as their artistic inheritors in the 1980s. Each work represents a journey for the Herberts. Extremely analytical about the nature of their collecting, they have thought carefully about each choice they have made and each artistic relationship they have developed. They were central to the development of a small, close knit community of artists, collectors and dealers who supported these movements at their birth when there was much scepticism. However that support has borne fruit as an inspiration to thousands of artists working today and these ideas have in turn inspired many of the tendencies of art in the 21st century. As a result, a trip to the Herbert's collection has been likened to a pilgrimage to other artistic meccas like Marfa and Dia. The decision to sell has been a very difficult one for the Herberts, since they have always determined not to sell works from their collection. However the chance to create a lasting legacy in the Herbert Art Center in Ghent which will archive this historic artistic journey makes this more than worthwhile. The auction will create a once in a lifetime chance to acquire works from this historic collection.
With the proceeds of the forthcoming auction, the Anton and Annick Herbert Foundation look forward to creating a unique public institution primarily dedicated to Minimal Art, Arte Povera and Conceptual Art to be located in the heart of Ghent, Belgium. The Herbert Art Centre is conceived as a permanent exhibition space and archive for the pivotal works assembled by the Herbert Collection. The Centre will also provide a calendar of public and educational events designed to broaden the understanding and awareness of this key moment in twentieth century art history and to preserve the artists legacy for present and future generations.
To mark the unique occasion of having this collection, Christies will exhibit the works on the 20th floor of 1230 Avenue of the Americas, at Rockefeller Center as Christies did in 2006 for the Works of Donald Judd, from the Judd Foundation. The pieces will be shown in a space that will be specially designed to highlight the important connection between art and its spatial context. The viewing will open on October 25th and will be accessible to the public throughout the three weeks leading up to the sale on November 9th.
Highlights of the sale include:
*CARL ANDRE (B. 1935), Steel Lead Alloy Square steel and lead, in one hundred parts Executed in 1969 Estimate: $1,500,000-2,000,000.
Carl Andre's floor piecesflat, modular and made of ordinary materialschallenge all traditional conceptions of sculptures as three-dimensional objects executed in marble or bronze. Their flatness, however, does not diminish their physical presence. As the artist has stated, "I don't think of them as being flat at all. I think, in a sense, that each piece supports a column of air that extends to the top of the atmosphere."
*SOL LEWITT (1928-2007) ,Untitled (Modular Cube) baked enamel on steel. Executed in 1967-68 Estimate: $380,000-450,000.
A consistent theme of Sol LeWitt's sculpture has been to explore the relationship of modular cubes to the two-dimensional grid. The three-dimensional element becomes an extension of two-dimensional pictorial space, while at the same time contrasting with it. Comprising a simple, almost skeletal, structure, Untitled (Modular Cube) invites the eye to pierce the previously impenetrable exterior of art and explore the space inside.
*BRUCE NAUMAN (B. 1941) White Breathing iron blocks, in fourteen parts. Executed in 1976 Estimate: $1,600,000-2,000,000.
Executed in 1976, White Breathing is one of an important and rare group of room-sized floor installations by Bruce Nauman. Two different kinds of cast iron blocks are spread across the floor. Both types have slanted sides, and the opposing sides are always parallel to each other. But it appears that there are more than two typesa visual illusion that Nauman creates by carefully choosing the shape combinations.
*JOSEPH KOSUTH (B. 1945) One and Three Coats - coat, photograph and ink on paper Executed in 1965 Estimate: $140,000-180,000.
Created in 1965, One and Three Coats is a landmark installation in Conceptual Art, comprised of a coat, a photograph of the coat, and an enlarged dictionary definition of the word "coat." The work changes each time it is installed, since the coat may be hung differently from room to room, and the photograph must show the coat precisely as it is installed; so the one invariable ―coat‖ is the written definition. For Kosuth, then, art is a fundamentally linguistic concept rather than a visual or material category.
*LAWRENCE WEINER (B. 1940), Bent to a Straight and Narrow at a Point of Passage #422 vinyl lettering affixed to a wall. Executed in 1978 Estimate: $80,000-120,000.
Since the 1970s, Lawrence Weiner, one of the central figures of Conceptual art, has created wall installations consisting solely of words painted in nondescript letters. The lettering need not be done by Weiner himself, as long as the sign painter complies with the instructions dictated by the artist. Among the first works acquired by the Herberts was one of Weiners sentences, which the couple bought because they found it so shockingly provocative.
*MARIO MERZ (1925-2003) 6765 eighty three stacks of newspapers, glass plates and neon tubes. Executed in 1976 Estimate: $750,000-950,000.
An extraordinarily lyrical fusion of light, energy and material, seeming to form a condensed movement across the gallery floor, 6765 is a major work by Mario Merz that expresses a profound sense of both the material build-up of information and ideas over time and of the continuous progression (and even ethereal flow) of events through history.
*GIOVANNI ANSELMO (B. 1934) Verso l'infinito iron, incision, transparent varnish Executed in 1969 Estimate: $120,000-180,000.
Verso linfinito (Toward Infinity) is one of an important series of iron works that Giovanni Anselmo made at the height of his involvement with Arte Povera in the late 1960s. Consisting only of a solid block of iron onto which the small incision of an arrow pointing toward the mathematical sign for infinity has been engraved, the work at first looks like a Minimalist statement of the kind then being made in America. As with all of Anselmos work, however, this piece is a pointer toward the invisible and eternal forces of physics and of nature at work within the world - forces that shape all human concepts of space, form and time.
*LUCIANO FABRO (b. 1936) Corona di Piombo (Crown of Lead) lead Executed in 1971 Estimate : $100,000-150,000.
A fascinating, iconic and instantly recognizable image, Corona di Piombo (Crown of Lead) is vast and extraordinary play of form, symbolism, material and texture that derives from the height of Luciano Fabros involvement with 'arte povera in the late 1960s and early '70s.
Immediately recognizable as an enormous crown of laurels rendered and materialized in large leaf-like sheets of lead, the laurel wreath form of Corona di Piombo is also powerfully evocative of Italy and its glorious, historic and classical past. Fabros intention with all these works was to a liberating one. The aim was to induce in the viewer a new awareness of space and reality as a vital and enriched arena of potential existing beyond the confines of convention.
*MIKE KELLEY (b. 1954) Heart and Flower, felt on felt Executed in 1988 Estimate : $200,000-300,000.
Mike Kelleys Heart and Flower was created in 1988 and is a vast example of his celebrated felt banners. This work, which stretches over three meters across, features hearts individually applied to the border of the pale surface, romantic or religious visions surrounding the so-called ‗flower of the title. As is so often the case in Kelleys subversive world, the ‗flower appears problematic: it is more like a huge pool of spattered blood, yet has in fact been painstakingly applied to the surface, like the hearts, and comprises various elements made of orange-red felt individually arranged and laid down, the result of preparation and concentration rather than the scattered impression it deliberately conveys.
