I taught two fermentation classes this week and in each of the classes, I posed a simple question to my students: "What would happen if you left a head of cabbage on your kitchen counter for six weeks?" Responses varied from, "it would rot," "you'd smell it," "it would be surrounded by a puddle of goo," "it sure wouldn't taste very good," etc.
I then asked the question: "What would happen if you chopped that same cabbage, mixed it with a little bit of salt and then massaged it with your hands until it produced enough of its own juice to fully immerse the cabbage in its own brine?" Answer: "Sauerkraut."
This is the essence of fermentation. With a little bit of pure sodium chloride (salt) and your own hands, you can get delicious vegetable mixtures that are preserved for weeks or even months with no canners, dehydrators, freezers or fancy kitchen equipment.
Fermentation is one of the easiest methods of preserving food and boasts the most health benefits, least energy consumption and most variety and room for creativity (read: experimentation) over any other type of food preservation method. Some students get scared off by that lawlessness.
In my other food preservation classes, I strive to engrain in students' heads that they must always use tested and approved recipes. Food preservation is a science, NOT an art, and bending the rules could result in deadly consequences.
The one we worry most about is botulism and interestingly, cases only began showing up in historical records after canning was invented in the 1790s. By creating a sealed, anaerobic environment, we create the perfect conditions for botulism to grow.
Fermentation, on the other hand, has been around for thousands of years, and creates lactic acid bacteria which lower the pH of things like cabbage and kimchi to such a great extent that bad bacteria are far less likely to grow.
Furthermore, fermentation does not require — nay, must not have — an anaerobic environment; jars need to breathe, and burp, and bubble in order to release the carbon dioxide being produced as good bacteria grow. All of this makes fermented foods categorically safer than fresh foods which may have the risk of carrying disease causing microorganisms like e. Coli, listeria, salmonella, mold, etc., or canned foods, which can harbor botulism and staphylococcus.
In anticipation of teaching about fermentation this week, I purchased "The Art of Fermentation," written by Sandor Ellix Katz. Katz writes in a lyrical, conversational tone that makes you feel like you are sitting at the dining room table with him discussing various ferments. He lends his decades of experience as a fermenter, giving you the confidence to try your first batch of kraut or kimchi and has been lovingly nicknamed "Sandorkraut" by his followers and friends.
In the opening pages of the book, Katz comments on the double entendre that is "culture" in the realm of fermentation.
The first connotation of the word brings to mind agar plates and swabs of bacteria as he discusses the cultures of organisms that are created through fermentation. He writes that a healthy human gut has over 7 trillion bacteria and as we have come to eat highly processed, commercially produced foods, we end up losing a lot of that good bacteria because it is no longer introduced into our bodies through various fermented foods.
The second connotation of culture is that of the broader ancestral, familial, national food culture of which we are a part. Koreans have their kimchi, Germans have their sauerkraut, Italians have their wine and the French have their cheese. All of these cultural fermented foods play into the pleasure of eating in community and sharing a meal with family and friends.
Fermentation brings flavors out of foods that you would never experience in them fresh, let alone canned or frozen. Katz suggests that as you experiment with fermentation, which you will undoubtedly do after reading his book, that you cultivate cultures of sharing your various ferments with friends so you can all experience that palate pleasing textures, tastes and aromas of fermented foods.
In honor of that suggestion, I am providing a simple recipe for homemade sauerkraut below, which should be ready in time for Thanksgiving. Perhaps you will start a new tradition as you gather round with family and friends for this holiday meal and share a few jars of your own ferments.
The following recipe is for a 5-pound batch. You will probably need three to four medium/large heads of cabbage. When fully chopped and packed into its own brine, this amount of cabbage will fill about three quart jars or fit nicely into a large gallon container with room for a brine bag or weight.
Recipes for how to use your kraut can be found at: http://extension.oregonstate.edu/lane/sites/default/files/documents/sp50611making-sauerkraut.pdf.
5 pounds of shredded cabbage
3 tablespoons canning or pickling salt
Equipment needed
Fermenting containers should be food grade. One-gallon glass or plastic jars work well for a 5-pound batch. (Do not use copper, iron or galvanized-metal containers or garbage bags and trash liners.) Use a very large stainless steel or plastic bowl for mixing cabbage and salt before putting into fermenting container. For shredding cabbage use a large cutting board and sharp knife.
Making the sauerkraut
Select mature heads of cabbage that are disease-free. The best kraut is made from the mid- to late-season crop. When picking fresh it is best to wait one or two days after harvesting to make the kraut.
Kraut can be made from both red and green varieties.
For 5 pounds of shredded cabbage you will need between 6-7 pounds of fresh cabbage. Remove outer leaves and rinse heads with cold water and drain. Cut the heads in halves or quarters and remove the cores, trim and discard any damaged tissues.
Shred or slice cabbage using a sharp knife or kraut cutter. The shreds should be long and thin, about the thickness of a quarter. Place 5 pounds of shredded cabbage in a large bowl and sprinkle 3 tablespoons of salt evenly over cabbage. With clean hands thoroughly mix the salt into the cabbage. You will notice cabbage will begin to wilt as the salt is mixed in.
When all the salt is dissolved and the cabbage is juicy, begin packing the cabbage firmly into the food-grade fermenting container. Use your fist to firmly and evenly press the cabbage into the jar or crock. As you pack you will notice the juice coming from the cabbage. You will need enough juice to cover the cabbage. It is important to leave at least 4-5 inches of head space.
Once the fermenting container is adequately filled and the juice is covering the cabbage you are ready to put a weight on the kraut to keep the liquid covering the cabbage during the fermentation period. Be sure to wipe the edges of the jar or crock before putting the weight on top.
When fermenting in a glass jar you can weigh down the kraut using a freezer-weight plastic bag filled with brine made of 1½ tablespoons salt to 1 quart of water. For crocks use a plate and weigh it down with a jar of water or a plastic bag filled with brine. The amount of brine in the plastic bag can be adjusted to give enough pressure to keep the fermenting cabbage covered with brine.
Once the weight is in place, cover the fermenting container with a clean tea towel or cheese cloth to reduce mold growth. For glass containers you can cover the jar with a brown paper bag to keep the light off of the kraut while it is fermenting. This helps retain nutrients and also preserves the color of the kraut.
Fermentation temperature and management
Store at 70-75 degrees F while fermenting. At temperatures between 70-75º F sauerkraut will be fully fermented in about three to four weeks; at 60-65º F fermentation may take five to six weeks. At temperatures lower than 60º F sauerkraut may not ferment. Above 75º F sauerkraut may become soft. The smaller the fermenting container the faster it will ferment.
If you weigh the cabbage down with a brine-filled bag, do not disturb the crock until normal fermentation is completed. If you use a plate and jar as weight, you will have to check the sauerkraut two or three times each week and remove scum if it forms. A good test to see if kraut is ready is to smell and taste it. It should smell and taste like kraut, not sour cabbage.
Happy Preserving!

$3 Billion Opportunity for Back-end Equipment and Materials Suppliers: HB-LED Packaging
Si Substrates Improve Thermal Management
By Paula Doe, SEMI Emerging Markets
What emerging market offers a $1 billion opportunity for back-end equipment and materials suppliers in 2010? According to Yole Développement, the packaging of high-brightness (HB) LEDs is a big opportunity with forecasted growth of more than 25% annually. The HB-LED packaging market is expected to surpass $3 billion by 2015.
Most of spending goes for the specialty packaging materials that can handle the high heat and light outputs required. Materials for HB-LED packaging were an $850 million market in 2009, suggesting that these materials suppliers may end up with about 60% of the approximately $1.4 billion revenues from the sector. Though sector demand for backend dicing, interconnect and laser lift off equipment is currently relatively modest, it can expect accelerating growth, to average 34% annual expansion through 2015.
Source: Yole Développement, HB LED Packaging Report 2009
Yole defines HB LEDs more restrictively than some other market researchers as those of 30 lumen/ Watt or better, such as used in automotive and TV backlight applications, but which does not include those used in most other LCD backlights. The ultra high-brightness segment, those units of 100 lumen/package or more used in automotive headlights and general illumination, remains a modest approximately $280 million niche so far, but is poised for strong growth as costs continue to come down.
Package Substrates for Thermal Management are Key
With only 25% of the energy converted to light in a typical high-brightness LED, and the rest to heat, packaging technology for thermal management appears to offer the most headroom for improving the light output, and is the focus of many companies' distinguishing competitive efforts. It may also be one of the best options to bring down costs. "We did a lot of reverse engineering of major products from the leading producers, and learned that the chip technology was all based on the same IP— but there was not a single similarity among the packages," says Yole Développement analyst Philippe Roussel. "We came to conclude that more than 70% of the cost is in the package." He also notes that the recent round of announcements of development chips with efficiencies pushing 150 lumen/Watt (lm/W) and more are enabled primarily by advances in the packaging technology.
One key solution to better thermal management is the package substrate, which accounts for about half the materials costs of the package. Molded resin substrates with heat slugs or metal core printed circuit boards are the most prevalent solution, but more suppliers are turning to ceramic substrates of alumina or AlN for their higher power devices, or to ceramic or silicon submounts between the chip and the package substrate.
VisEra Improves Thermal Resistance with Silicon
But the most intriguing potential is from new substrate materials. TSMC spinout VisEra has started production in commercial volumes of high-power (350mA) LEDs on silicon package substrates, using a wafer-level packaging flow on 8-inch wafers. "Thermal resistance is 3°/W or even lower," says VP Peter Zung, VP of business development, who claims performance is 2–3 times better than ceramic, and results in a 10-15% increase in lumen output.
VisEra's process does the packaging as a wafer-level flow to greatly simplify the handling of die, but is not doing wafer-level packaging on the original device wafer— it starts with already singulated die from LED makers. It patterns the wafer with through-silicon vias, then does metallization and adds a dielectric for protection. The LED die are then placed on the wafer by pick and place and wire bonded. The chip areas are conformally coated with phosphor with a mask and liftoff process, then lenses are formed across the wafer, and the wafer then finally diced. Key was getting control of co-planarity of the lead frame matrix. The company also had to develop a custom tool for the lens tooling. Though wafer-level processes certainly have potential to bring down assembly costs in high volume, currently the company is focusing on applications that need the better reliability from its better thermal performance and is not the cost leader.
It's also bringing the foundry model to the heavily custom LED packaging world. The silicon design can be customized for different matrix patterns of LEDs, as can the layout and the lenses, allowing considerable variation in the wafers running through the same foundry process. Zung says the company is running wafers for both side and top view devices, for both general illumination and backlights, and for a wide range of other applications as well. Some customers are using the same package footprint as major merchant suppliers to be a drop in replacement, while others design to differentiate and optimize the package. Customers include both LED makers outsourcing packaging, and downstream light engine and luminaire makers designing their own systems. Zung says that since starting in earnest in August, the company now has backlog through 2010.
VisEra was founded in 2003 by TSMC and image sensor and strategic technology partners as an image sensor foundry, and built a business doing back-end on-chip color filters, microlenses and wafer-level modules. But revenues were declining in the past several years, so the internal development team developed the LED process, making use of the existing fab equipment.
Tong Hsing Brings Down Costs with Copper-plated Ceramic
Meanwhile Tong Hsing argues that its copper-plated ceramic material may significantly bring down the cost of high-performance LED package substrates. SVP of marketing and technology Heinz Ru argues that the Taiwan company's copper-plated ceramic LED substrate can bring package substrate costs down to 5-10% of the $0.60 total cost of a high-power 1W, 100 lm cold white LED chip. It uses a proprietary bonding layer to get a stronger bond, and fills the vias during the surface plating step, instead of requiring a separate process, for a lower cost production process, while the high-thermal conductivity of the copper gives better thermal performance. Production is done at high-throughput on an automated rack plating line, but is reportedly also easily customizable to different materials and thickness for metallization and ceramic for different designs. Thermal conductivity of copper is around 390 Watts/Kelvin meter (W/mK), the AlN substrate170W/mK (or Al2O3 _30W/mK), compared to silicon at about 150W/mK.
Tong Hsing has been developing smaller ceramic packages for major LED makers since 2003, and it expects that its LED substrate business will jump to about 50% of company revenues in 2010, up from about 33% from all thick and thin film ceramic substrates last year. It's now also working on applying the same technology to packaging triple-junction PV cells and control modules for hybrid vehicles.
The company originally saw fast growth from supplying ceramic packages for power amp modules for cell phones, but sales plummeted when that market all switched over to overmold packaging, so the company turned to a diverse range of specialty packaging for MEMS, military and medical markets that it could make on its existing equipment. "We go after startup companies that need help," says Ru. "We're betting that maybe 10% of these startup opportunities will take off, but if they don't, at least they have good technology and pay for development, and the entrepreneurs who started them will come back to us the next time they start a company."
Other Opportunities
The sector is interested in other material developments as well. There's progress in development of encapsulation or coating materials with higher refractive index, closer to the 1.77 of sapphire, to aid in light extraction. "We expect new material formulations to be introduced over the next year," predicts Jan Vardaman, president of TechSearch International.
She also notes that users need boards with better reflectivity so that less light is absorbed. For example, solder masks that are close to 0% absorption in key wavelengths are of interest to many companies. User demand could also start to push the sector towards a standard package footprint, which would ease integration and cut costs for designer of the systems that use the HB LEDs.
On the equipment side, nominally conventional interconnect tools are and will remain the largest backend equipment market for LEDs. But the sector also has growing need for laser dicing and laser liftoff tools.
To get smooth sidewalls for light extraction and prevent cracks or chips in the brittle substrates, LED makers are increasingly turning to laser dicing instead of scribing or sawing to singulate their die. But there's plenty of competition for this emerging business, with at least seven companies going after what's currently still a small market. A number of LED makers also remove the sapphire wafer substrate to get better light extraction and/or better connection to the thermal package substrate with a laser liftoff process.
Pressure to bring down LED packaging costs is likely to intensify. Nikkei Microdevices also argues that the ramp up of volume production for consumer display markets will likely change the HB LED game further by introducing consumer cycles of under and over supply. It points to the big ramp up in LED production at the LCD suppliers for their internal use, with Samsung ramping from 700-800 M units a month to approximately 2 billion units per month, putting it in the league with major LED makers like Nichia and EpiStar. LG Group and AUO Group are upping their production from 200-300 million units per month to 600-800 million units per month to become middle-sized suppliers. Nichia plans to ramp its capacity by 50% per year for the next three years, reports the Japanese trade journal.
The television and display makers are ramping internal capacity because their outside suppliers couldn't meet their LED backlight needs now, but if PC and TV demand slips, a surplus of HB LEDs spilling over into other applications could push down prices there as well. Users also continue aggressive price roadmaps. Sharp has reportedly told its suppliers that it expects a 50% price drop this year, down to about $.01 (¥1)/lm. Japan's LED makers have also accelerated their own cost roadmap, now targeting to $ 0.005 (¥0.5)/lm by 2011, and 200 lm/W. That would potentially bring LED light bulbs prices down accordingly to around $22 (¥2000), from about $45 (¥4000) now.

Songs For The End Of The World
So...we're still here! It's a relief that those crazy scientists at the helms of the LHC (Large Hadron Collider) in Switzerland didn't suck us all into a black hole last Wednesday!
But since "End Of The World" rumours have been all the rage since...well, always, here's a selection of the best apocalyptic soundtrack to see us off in style, when the time comes...
R.E.M. "It's The End Of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine)"
One of their finest moments, indeed. For R.E.M and the teenage boy in the video, the end of the world is the moment of ultimate freedom, and joy...nothing to be scared of!
Metallica "Four Horsemen"
At their best, like in this classic song, Metallica sound like the Big Bang...this song is loud, fast, mean and could probably scare the hell out of the Four Horsemen, come to think of it. Metallica would eat them for breakfast!
The Cure "The End Of The World"
Doom and gloom have always been one of The Cure's favourite subjects...so this quite enjoyable pop tune doesn't sound as dramatic as the title suggests. Robert Smith probably thinks it's the end of the world every other day...it's no big deal! Cool song, mind...
U2 "Until The End Of The World"
One of U2's best moments, back when they were truly visionaires and this is one of Bono's best lyrics. Whether it's about Judas and Jesus or about any relationship that goes wrong, for U2 love & betrayal represent the true end of the world for those involved...
Muse "Apocalypse, Please"
Nevermind if the end of the world is out of our hands and there's nothing we could do about it. Muse, for one, actually ask for it! For the band who wrote "Supermassive Black Hole", nothing would be better than the end of the world! They'd play their biggest, most apocalyptic gig ever. Glastonbury? Bah, that's nothing! Matt Bellamy probably looks forward to the day when he'll play the loudest, most epic guitar solo ever, while we're all sucked into a black hole.
Rolling Stones "Gimme Shelter"
Without a shadow of a doubt, one the greatest moments of their long career. "Gimme Shelter" is a song full of danger and menace, with the ominous feeling of something really bad about to happen. It did...no wonder the song became the title of their infamous documentary depicting the tragic events at Altamont, 1969. For the Rolling Stones, the end of the world won't come with a bang...it'll happen little by little every day...
The Doors "The End"
This is the perfect song for the end of the world. This is it. This is the end, my friend. Sit back and relax. "Hey, mister lightman, turn down the lights..."
Do you have other suggestions? Post a message on the Music Planet forum!

Search goes super holistic at San Jose. Blogs, reputation management, content and communities are big on the agenda as well as the return of creative advertising, this time by way of Google and Yahoo!
So San Jose, one of the biggest dates in the search industry's calendar is in full swing. It feels like the whole industry is waking-up to the fact that search is part of a much wider ecosystem. Algorithm chasers beware, your days are numbered. It's time to get engaged into communities and trust networks…
Paid search demographic targeting is looming large for UK marketers. Age, gender, wealth and lifestyle data are just some of the information MSN's new Adcenter is bringing into play. Add to that the launch later this year of Yahoo's 'Panama' advertising platform and you have some pretty powerful tools to bamboozle your competitors and squeeze a bit more from your paid search budget.
Interesting points came from Michael Stack, CTO at Inceptor who tested some of the new features against a standard optimised campaign (where creatives and titles had been optimised) against the demographic targeting in Adcenter. His findings, although based on a small data set, indicated what you would expect – targeting does raise conversion rates, but at the cost of click volume.
For more info go to: http://blogs.msdn.com/adcenter
Ouch! It sounds like the SEO fraternity may have to come out from the shadows and start to communicate with the rest of the marketing community (I hear knives sharpening). Maybe Google is winning the war against search spam. If you want to get good and sustainable search visibility you might just have to start thinking creatively.
Favourite personal buzzword index from the show:
– 'ecosystem'
– 'hockey stick' (replaces the trusty old 'J-curve)
– 'tail' – will it ever go away!
– 'slice and dice'
– 'nascent'
Oh yes, and brand apparently is important too. Although, from the way many in search act, you would think that they think that visibility creates demand… Hmmm, lots to chew on here. Tonight the motley Spannerworks crew go to the source as Google holds party for the faithful on the hallowed turf of 'Mountain View'. Cheers.

Mercury, the closest planet to the Sun and the smallest planet in the Solar System, is making a rare appearance this month, appearing in the early evening sky as a bright pink spot.
From February 8 to February 21, Mercury will be visible near the horizon shortly after sunset, and will take on a pink hue, according to Space.com. Mercury isn't actually pink, but will appear so because of the light reflected from the sunset.
Scientists recommend stargazers look out for Mercury about 30 minutes after sunset. For the next few days, Mars will also appear nearby.
Mercury is about the size of Earth's moon, and its orbit around the Sun is a quick 88 days. Because it's so close to the Sun--between 29 and 43 million miles, compared to the Earth's 93 million miles--the Sun's light often makes it difficult to see Mercury with the naked eye.

Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 94 diseños de 23 diseñadores freelance.
Applied Immunology
Thanks for your interest!
I'm the founder of a cutting-edge biotech company that focuses on deep understanding of the immune system. Our initial services are designed for biotech companies and non-profit research organizations and the prices for these services are in the 6 to 7 figures. While there are other companies providing such services the differentiating features of what we provide are exceptional quality, outstanding one-on-one service, and trust that our work will satisfy the strictest government requirements (there is a general fear that not doing this right will result in the FDA not approving the drugs that our services support.
Desired audience initially are small to medium biotech companies that are getting new biotech therapies to clinical trials for the first time. They tend to be somewhat price conscious, but more keen to ensure that they are receiving services that engender the trust and satisfaction of the regulatory agencies. The services are very technical in nature, and our clients will trust us to just "take care of" this requirement while they focus on the other important aspects of their business.
I would like the logo to convey a sense of trust and quality while also appearing service-oriented - i.e. giving them a sense of comfort. I expect designers will have a sense of color palettes that address these feelings. Typical images that connote the immune system are antibodies ("Y" shaped molecules). You might also want to do a simple Image search on Google for the word "antibody" to get an idea. I've attached a PDF with examples of these biological images. Most company websites that are in a similar space (logos provided in attached PDF) have very straightforward logos with the name of the company being the main focus. While I am not averse to this approach, a logo that conveys what I've described above that can stand on its own would be very welcome. I realize fully that the name doesn't lend itself to creative freedom, but am hoping that you will help bring it to life!
Remember - I'm not the expert! Will be looking to you for creativity and interpretation based on the above so let the juices flow....
Thanks again!

To satisfy the ever increasing demand for low-cost meat, chickens are being bred to grow to slaughter weight in less than six weeks. This is half the time it would have taken to rear chickens thirty years ago.
Chicken welfare
Every year, over 50 billion chickens are reared worldwide, mostly en masse in windowless, barren and overcrowded sheds. Since they have been bred to grow faster than nature intended, they can suffer enormously, both physically and with poor health.
What are we doing
Compassion worked with writer, broadcaster and campaigner Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall on the "Chicken Out!" campaign to encourage the promotion of free-range chicken and an end to intensive chicken farming. The campaign was a success. As a direct result a 2008/09 parliamentary motion calling for the UK Government to improve the welfare of chickens reached the number one position with an amazing 264 MP signatures, the highest number of MP signatures for a farm animal welfare Early Day Motion. This means over a third of all UK MPs have called for clear and honest labelling on chicken meat and urging the UK Government to improve the welfare standards for chickens.
Compassion continues this work through our Good Chicken Award, by lobbying at UK and EU level, our work with poultry farmers in the USA and through our labelling campaign: Labelling Matters.
What can I do?
- Always shop compassionately...
- Buy organic or free-range chicken
- If buying indoor chicken, buy higher welfare indoor chicken such as RSPCA Freedom Food
- Check the chicken ingredients in sandwiches, pies, curries etc.
- Campaign with us for improved welfare for all farmed animals.
- Learn more about the welfare of farmed chicken.

Fir Acres Theatre
Fir Acres Theatre
"Through the theatre, we reflect on our experiences and we imagine new possibilities. Making theatre is a way of understanding the world around us, and our place in it. We also find this process of projecting ourselves into strange or familiar circumstances immensely entertaining."

Black Box Theatre
The Balcony, by Jean Genet
Directed by Stepan Simek
November 4-5 and 10-12, 7:30 p.m.
Fir Acres Theatre Main Stage
In the midst of a violent revolution, a majestically appointed brothel caters to the elaborate fantasies of men of all walks of life. The brothel, or The House of Illusions allows these frustrated little men to reenact their fantasies of sex and power. In a series of ritualistic masquerades, the images of power mirror each other to the point where the line between illusion and reality become blurred. It soon becomes apparent that, just like in the brothel, in the political struggle outside, the symbols and rituals of power assume even more importance than power itself.
The French playwright, novelist, poet, and a career criminal, Jean Genet uses the theatre as a hall of mirrors, in which he reveals the underlying perversity of political power with its use of symbols and rituals for achieving political goals. His parable is as timely today as it was in 1956 when the play was originally produced.

A new distribution platform is emerging and no one knows what to make of it. The established players are wary of it and see it as more foe than friend. Others are afraid of losing their shirt by investing in it.
Sound familiar?
But this isn't the Internet. This was cable television in the early 1980s. Back then there were only a handful of networks and few were talking about 500 channels full of original content.
"It was an unproven business, investors were not convinced that cable programming was a good investment," said John Hendricks, founder of Discovery Communications.
In his soon-to-be-released autobiography "A Curious Discovery," Hendricks tells the story of how he built Discovery from one channel into a global media empire with shows ranging from explorations of the planet and universe to reality fare starring a precocious kid nicknamed Honey Boo Boo.
Intrigued with science and space travel ever since he was a kid, Hendricks had been keeping an eye on the cable industry as it started to gain traction. He was working in academia at the University of Maryland when he decided to try to create a channel that would carry educational fare.
Hendricks pitched his wife Maureen the idea first. She was on board but did have one crucial question.
"If this is such a good idea, why didn't Ted Turner do it?"
Hendricks had wondered the same thing but moved forward anyway. He took out a second mortgage on his home for $100,000 and threw in another $30,000. Now all he needed was another $25 million to try to get Discovery off the ground.
Hendricks knew how to get grants from the government and foundations for research, but this was different.
"I had to get introduced to individuals who could write $50,000 investment checks and to companies that could invest $1 million or more," he writes in "A Curious Discovery." Through a mutual friend, Hendricks met Harry Hagerty, a D.C. businessman who had developed digital switches for phone companies. Hagerty liked the idea and connected Hendricks to Allen & Co., the boutique investment bank.
Hendricks also figured having a big name on board wouldn't hurt either. He cold-called CBS anchor Walter Cronkite, who like Hendricks shared an interest in space travel and serious documentary programming. Cronkite loved the idea and wrote Hendricks a letter offering an endorsement that he could show to prospective backers.
Finding content wasn't the problem. Hendricks discovered plenty of documentaries from the BBC and elsewhere he could get rights to on the cheap.
The next step for Hendricks was to persuade cable operators. He gambled and rented time on a satellite and put on a sample of Discovery for free for a week. After that, 900 cable operators representing almost 5 million homes (a lot back then) said they wanted to carry the channel.
Allen & Co. was then able to raise $5 million for Discovery, and it launched in 1985. The only problem was that the channel was burning through that cash. Hendricks looked to find a partner and was willing to sell 40% for $6 million. He said Disney and Universal turned him down and a deal with Chronicle Publishing fell through.
Hendricks then had Allen & Co. reach out to John Malone, whose Tele-Communications Inc. was the biggest cable operator in the country at the time. TCI took a stake, and three other major operators did as well, saving Discovery from crashing and burning before it could ever get far off the ground.
Over the years, Discovery has grown from one channel to severalm including TLC (formerly the Learning Channel) and Animal Planet. At the same time, it has also broadened its programming beyond nature, space travel and science to reality. Some critics think the company has gone too far away from its original mission to educate and enlighten with shows such as "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" and "Amish Mafia."
"I could not disagree more," Hendricks wrote. "Nor will I ever apologize for having built Discovery on good business principles."
In an interview, Hendricks said for the company to be a global force it needed to expand beyond the 25% of TV viewers who come to television for information and get to the 75% who "primarily look to television for amusement."
And as for Turner, he ended up trying to buy Discovery but struck out.

"In 2007, I had an idea to start a business servicing websites in a way that small businesses could afford and actually use effectively. It has always been my goal to do the best I could for each client we are fortunate to have. Today, my team works hard day in and day out to provide the best web design services in Roswell."
- Steven J. Carr, Founder and President, Your Web Pro LLC
It is from that plan that our business has grown into more than I ever imagined. We have developed into a dedicated team with diverse skills around the field of website design and development. We are fortunate to work with clients all around the country and a few internationally. We are on a solid path of growth for a long time to come. In fact, we are planning other branch offices right now. If that makes your heart flutter with ideas you might get in touch.
The big difference that has set us apart is our local, professional team. Our flagship service is building custom websites in Roswell. The Your Web Pro team is made of full time website designers, developers, and SEO specialists. We work in a team-oriented office - not a garage or virtual office. In fact, no one on the team works solo. We all share office space and collaborate regularly. You can count on someone to be available to visit with you whenever you stop by. While others are effective spread out or working at some hipster coffee house with a latte and skinny jeans, we find the best work comes from close collaboration and teamwork, black coffee, and regular jeans that fit. We also feel having a physical presence in the community is important. We regularly engage in community organizations along from our churches to civic and professional groups.
We work hard to build great websites that will serve your business needs today and tomorrow. We don't try to be the coolest group with hip clothes and fancy art on the walls. Our goal is simple: make your website look and function great to help your business grow. Our model does not allow for a pushy sales force to promise you the moon and deliver stinky cheese. Those groups exist – we know because we pick up clients they have burned all of the time. Our services are sold by the hands that will actually perform the work. Plain and simple.
Unless the Internet disappears, we don't plan on going anywhere. We strive to provide you with a stable, organized solution that will help boost your online presence and get you noticed. Our ties to the communities we serve are strong - from civic groups to church families and everything in between. Working alongside our clients is the only way that we make a difference. How can we work with you?

It has to be difficult to move to a new country, and even worse when you don't speak the language.
That's why programs in place at local public schools - and at Campbellsville University - are so important.
If any of you have ever visited another country where you didn't know the language, then you know at least part of what we're talking about. Now, imagine moving to live in that country.
Report cards - they're either dreaded or anticipated. They keep us as parents informed about how well our children are doing in school. And good report cards are a sign that our schools are teaching our children what they need to know in their journey to adulthood.
A story on today's front page explains our local schools' report cards, which provide information on schools' and districts' progress. All Kentucky students are expected to reach "proficiency" - or scores of 100 on state tests - by the year 2014. And that's not too far off in our future.
"History, despite its wrenching pain, cannot be unlived, but if faced with courage, need not be lived again."
— From Maya Angelou's "On the Pulse of Morning"
If you're not a regular subscriber, you may have missed the beginning of our annual four-part series in honor of Black History Month.
"I wish you shelter from the storm
And a cozy fire to keep you warm
And most of all
When snowflakes fall
I wish you love."
-Albert A. Beach
English lyrics
Love is in the air ... and in our newspaper pages.
Between Valentine's Day this Saturday, the winning love letters on today's front page, a story about the Happiness and Opportunity through Marriage Education program, or H.O.M.E., and the Bridal Feature on page 8A, we're celebrating love.
Do you have a mailbox? If so, there's a proposal before Congress right now that could affect you.
Postmaster General John E. Potter has asked Congress to lift a federal mandate requiring six-day mail delivery. Apparently, the United States Postal Service is facing a loss this year of as much as $6 billion.
And this is their attempt to save money.
As difficult and inconvenient as the past week has been for many residents of Taylor County, it has been an enlightening week as well.
With the ice storm of last Tuesday - and then the inch and a half of snow that followed the very next day - more than half a million people across the state lost electricity. Though Taylor County didn't get the worst of what Mother Nature had to offer, we still had thousands without electricity and heat.
Editor's Note: This editorial first appeared in the Casey County News on Wednesday, Jan. 28.
One of the provisions in the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution states that citizens have the right to a free press.
And that means a press unencumbered by the dictates of a local, state or federal government deciding what can be printed or broadcast.
However, one state legislator wants to limit access to 911 recordings because the recordings, in his opinion, are being used by media companies to attract viewers and boost ratings.
In today's newspaper, readers will notice a new addition. It's called Success Stories. And each month throughout the year, a new Success feature will be published.
The feature stories are written by the news staff to run simultaneously with advertisements purchased by those businesses that choose to participate. The businesses listed in the advertisements at the bottom of the "Success" page will be featured in the upcoming months' stories.
What do these numbers mean to you ... 4, 4, 13, 7, 6 and 8? Any idea? If one adds them together, the total is 42. But they're more than just numbers. They're lives.
Forty-two is the number of people who lost their lives in car crashes in Taylor County over the past six years.
That's 42 people who left loved ones behind involuntarily ... unexpectedly. And those 42 are mourned by many, many more.
Emily Cox, the reigning Miss Kentucky, made her hometown proud on Saturday night by making the Miss America pageant's Top 12.
To top that off, Cox won a preliminary award before the pageant even began.
Cox's work with her platform - "Uniquely Me: Promoting Self-Esteem in Adolescent Girls" - earned her the Quality of Life Award. She will receive a $6,000 scholarship.
The right to breathe clean air should take precedence over the right to smoke, simply because smoking endangers others' health.
And that's why we believe a smoking ban in all public buildings is needed.
There have been attempts in the past to ban smoking in restaurants. But why stop there?
If one has a right to eat in a smoke-free building, why shouldn't one have a right to conduct other business in a smoke-free place as well?
Tomorrow, as the 44th President of the United States places his hand on the very same Bible that former President Abraham Lincoln did so many years ago, history will be made.
Record crowds are expected to watch the inauguration of President Barack Obama, both in person and on television news channels.
And several of those on hand for the personal experience will be representing Campbellsville. We can't help but wonder how many communities our size will be represented at such a historic occasion. Few, we would assume.
Nearly 50 years ago, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. told the world of his dream for the future.
His most famous speech included these words: "... I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table of brotherhood. I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character ..."
Every New Year's Eve, millions of Americans resolve to get healthier (e.g., quit smoking and lose weight) and wealthier (e.g., increase savings and reduce debt). This is not surprising because health and personal finance "issues" (people don't have problems anymore ... they have "issues") affect millions of Americans.
Congratulations to residents of Campbellsville and Taylor County who took part in the public idea exchange forum regarding a possible school district merger Thursday night.
A hearty thank-you to the representatives of Campbellsville Independent School District, Taylor County School District, Campbellsville City Council and Taylor County Fiscal Court for their willingness to come together to listen and participate in the discussion.
Taylor County Junior Miss Auburn Wigginton will leave Sunday for Lexington to participate in the state Junior Miss Program.
We know she will represent Taylor County well, just as all of our local participants have in the past - whether they won or not.
Those who wish to send cards or flowers may do so by mailing them to: Auburn Wigginton, c/o Robin and Tim Blair, 525 Crewe Court, Lexington, Ky. 40503.
Good luck at state, Auburn. We'll be cheering for you.
None of us likes to run short on money. It means cutting back on expenses, getting a second job or even doing without. And with the state of today's economy, even our governmental agencies are running short.
As the Kentucky General Assembly goes into session this week, the state of the economy will be a major focus. Legislators will be charged with finding ways to do more with less.
And there's really only two definitive ways to do that - raise taxes or cut services.
Can two become one?
Opportunity comes our way only so often. The question becomes, what do we do with it? Sometimes we do nothing and let it pass. Sometimes we only think about it. Other times we talk about it and make an educated decision, based upon facts, and take action.
The Campbellsville Independent and the Taylor County school districts are each looking for a new superintendent. Will it be business as usual or is this the time for discussion?
This New Year I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!
I have this strange belief that Christmas can be celebrated every day of the year. I realize Christmas 2008 is a fading memory, but before you place it in your scrapbook of holidays, take a moment to reflect on how you can enjoy the best of Christmas every day of the year. When Christmas is in your heart, you can pull it up and savor the finest aspects of Christmas anytime. But we have to get beyond the nastiness of Christmas memories to the true meaning of the event.
When I first heard that a man in a Santa suit had gone on a murderous rampage in Montrose, Calif. on Christmas Eve, I did not know the full story. The first news reports did not tell us that this was in fact a domestic violence situation.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, April 2007 — At NAB2007, JBL Professional brings its LSR4300 Series studio monitors to broadcast applications with the introduction of two 5.1 surround sound systems featuring networking functionality and JBL's groundbreaking RMC™ Room Mode Correction technology. Building on the high-performance requirements of JBL's LSR Series and incorporating a next-generation automated version of JBL's RMC technology, the LSR4300 Series plays with stunning accuracy while overcoming the room's acoustic problems that have plagued broadcast and post engineers. Each speaker and the new LSR4312SP Subwoofer has a built-in analyzer that measures and automatically compensates for low-frequency problems caused by the room's standing waves and boundaries. Calibration of the system is simply accomplished by connecting a supplied calibration microphone to the speaker and pressing a button. The RMC system can be calibrated and settings can be viewed on the computer desktop using LSR4300 Control Center Software.
With an ever-increasing demand for 5.1 surround sound programming driven by high-definition broadcast production, the LSR4300 system is engineered to be "surround smart." The Harman HiQnet network, along with LSR4300 Control Center Software, simplifies setup and control of large surround systems with up to eight LSR4326P or LSR4328P monitors (with 6" and 8" woofers respectively) and two LSR4312SP subwoofers in a single system. Control Center Software includes a virtual "monitor section" with a system volume control, individual channel solo and mute, monitor source selection, eliminating the need to purchase an outboard speaker controller. Additionally, the entire system may be controlled from anywhere in the room using the LSR4300 wireless remote control. Recognizing some rooms may not have the space to position surround and center channels at the optimum distance, the LSR4300 adjusts the output of each speaker on the network to accurately balance sound arriving at the mix position.
Until now, achieving proper balance of a subwoofer in a surround sound system has been tricky, and requires the use of outboard measurement tools and a pink-noise generator. When connected to the network, the auto-calibration feature in the new LSR4312SP powered subwoofer automatically balances the sub to the rest of the system. Using the supplied remote control, or Control Center software, all settings of the sub can be auditioned and adjusted without ever leaving the mix position.
For digital production, each speaker includes high-resolution 24-bit, 96kHz AES/EBU and S/PDIF digital inputs to interface with digital broadcast consoles, computer audio I/O, playback sources and processors. On-board input switching allows the user to monitor a range of analog and digital playback sources via supplied remote control, software or the speaker's front panel input control.
The inclusion of a tri-color meter display on the speaker's front panel allows broadcasters to monitor system levels. A compliment of illuminated controls provides access to EQ, SOLO, Input selection volume and RMC calibration. When networked, the front panel of any speaker controls all speakers in the system.
"LSR4300 Series has also enjoyed tremendous success in the broadcast and post-production markets," said Peter Chaikin, Director of Marketing, Recording & Broadcast, JBL Professional. "With HD driving the demand for 5.1 content, our new LSR4300 5.1 systems deliver exceptional accuracy at the mix position in any room while providing tremendous convenience for the broadcast customer."
JBL offers the LSR4300 Series in two affordable 5.1 packages. The LSR4328P/5.1 system includes five LSR4328P powered speakers and one LSR4312SP subwoofer. The LSR4326P/5.1 system includes five LSR4326P powered speakers and one LSR4312SP subwoofer. The systems come complete with an accessory kit including a calibration microphone, wireless remote control, Control Center Software for Macintosh and Windows computers, USB and CAT 5 cables.
These products will be availabe soon on Dolphin Music.

Truck Maker Discovers Chinese Knockoff Company; Helps It Come Up With Its Own Design
from the well-there's-a-different-strategy dept
The company admits that it knew that a lawsuit would be pointless, and figured it was worth a shot to try a different approach:
"We told them that we welcome competition but we think you should invest in a unique identity towards your customers"Now there's a strategy you don't see every day...
Scania even gave them design tips.
"We gave them sketch-like ideas on the lines of the cab that you can do instead.
They later came back with a sketch of what they had thought about.
"We thought it was still too much like us. Then they did the job and came back again. It was a very friendly and constructive discussion. They respected what we said and made sure that they have not crossed the border again. Their next series will not be like Scania, "said Mr Harborn.

HANG TIME HEADQUARTERS — It's got to be the shoes, right?
Maybe not.
But Michael Jordan can still fly … at 50. He showed off his legendary hops for participants in his annual Flight School camp at the University of California at Santa Barbara Saturday, making believers out of all in attendance and beyond:
Maybe that comeback he spoke of during his Hall of Fame induction speech was more than just MJ's equally legendary competitive streak talking. Perhaps he's really … nah! He wouldn't.
Or would he?
And I know this summer has been all about the Draft, free agency, summer league's and basically the future of the game. But it's nice to take a moment to appreciate the history of the game. For those of us old and lucky enough to have seen MJ operate in the flesh during his prime, that photo is a reminder of the one-of-a-kind talent he really was.
Even if you didn't appreciate it at the time, it's hard to ignore in hindsight.

Let's step into a fantasy world for a few seconds (and put aside our general distaste for excess) to dream about the "perfect meal." I'm refraining from calling it a last meal because that's morbid, but I guess it's pretty much the same thing: if you had the opportunity to piece together your ideal feast from area restaurants, what would you choose?
Mine would be a bit of an extravaganza. I'm not even going to hold back here. Let's do this:
- An Amazing Pancake (or two) from Sake Café.
- Iron Gate's Veggie Club.
- BBQ tofu fries from Bombers. And why the hell not, let's throw in a margarita. Rocks, no salt. With a shot of Jameson on the side.
- Now that I've started drinking, I may as well hit up DeJohn's for their cucumber martini. While I'm there I will demand a bowl of their pineapple cream sauce (from the to-die-for mussels dish) and a loaf of crusty bread with which to soak it up.
- You know what follows pineapple cream sauce well? More pineapple. I'll grab some Pineapple fried rice from Sukhothai.
- OK now I'm starting to get nauseous (both in the real world and the fantasy world.) Let's pop back to my place for an herbal digestif. Much better.
- Dessert time: fruit tarts from Crisan.
Wow, I can't even think about this any longer. It totally accomplished the opposite of what I was going for. I'm loopy and logey from food lust, and didn't even get to Van's or Empire Wok or Café Capriccio. Maybe next time. Someone please roll me back to reality and hand me a Tums. :P Ugh.

Before Liberty Harper opened her own franchise of express hydraulic clubs, she watched one member after another hit plateaus on the equipment at other circuit facilities. So when she launched Liberty Fitness, she researched hydraulic equipment that allowed users to increase the resistance as they progressed — a factor that she says helps prevent plateauing. Now, all her franchisees are required to use this equipment, which is made specifically for Liberty Fitness.
While plateauing can occur when doing any exercise, beginners who use hydraulics may be more likely to quit when they hit their first plateau, especially if they're not guided by a skilled hand to revise their routines. As more people — particularly women — turn to express clubs for their entry into exercise, the issue of plateauing weighs heavily on many club owners' minds.
Dr. Wayne Wescott, fitness director at South Shore YMCA in Quincy, MA, has researched circuit training since 1991. He agrees that plateauing is a problem in many hydraulic circuit facilities. To prevent plateauing, he recommends changing up workouts, using equipment that allows for a change in resistance and using equipment that offers a concentric and eccentric component.
Equipment at some hydraulic clubs doesn't allow for a true change in resistance. Instead, members are encouraged to go faster on the equipment to get in more repetitions during the allotted time.
"Because our equipment is attached to a hydraulic cylinder, what happens is the faster you move, the more fluid you are forcing through the orifices," says Cassie Findley, director of continuing education and research for Curves where equipment is not adjustable for resistance. "You're working against that force. So it's almost like the weight is being increased."
However, Richard Cotton, who is chief exercise physiologist at MyExercisePlan.com and a consultant to Liberty Fitness, states that changing the speed of the repetitions doesn't mean equipment is adjustable.
"When people want to increase the intensity of their workout, nobody thinks of adjusting speed; they think of resistance," he says. "Just being able to do more sets and repetitions does not qualify as 'adjustable.'"
Liberty Fitness' equipment offers six levels of resistance. Harper also has concerns about clubs that tell members to go faster.
"You are told it is adjustable because you can go faster," she says. "That makes sense, but there comes a time when you can only go so fast. You only have a certain time to do reps."
Westcott's largest concern is that by going faster on these machines, injuries can result. For example, he says he works with Boston hospitals that have noticed patients with tendonitis from fast weight training.
"Going faster isn't going to be good on joints on older, overweight women," Wescott says. "When you do resistance exercise at fast speeds, you have a much greater rate of overuse injuries."
However, Dr. Cedric X. Bryant with the American Council on Exercise (ACE) says that he isn't aware of a high incidence of repetitive use injuries in hydraulic clubs. The relatively short duration of the workouts and the number of reps being performed would make those kinds of injuries rare, he contends. Harper agrees that repetitive use injuries from hydraulic equipment use are rare. She says strain injuries incurred at conventional gyms also don't often occur at hydraulic clubs.
"That's why I picked hydraulics — the injury rates were so low," says Harper, who has yet to have a major injury at any of her facilities. Ironically, the injuries often happen off the equipment doing the aerobics, she says.
Are You Double Positive?
While the equipment at Curves and Liberty Fitness differ in their adjustability, neither franchise offers the eccentric element on its equipment that Westcott says is also necessary to prevent plateauing. Findley and Harper both say that their facilities offer double positive on their equipment to prevent soreness and minimize the injuries that can occur from eccentric equipment.
However, Bryant says that while eccentric muscle actions are most closely associated with the delayed muscle soreness that people experience after workouts, members may actually see greater results using machines that offer the eccentric movement. While the eccentric movements can cause damage to muscle tissue, the body adapts by repairing the microtears and in turn, strengthening the muscles. The negative contractions experienced on a positive/negative system are more closely associated with the adaptive response to improve the quality and integrity of bone tissue, Bryant says.
"Provided that the loads aren't excessive, the injury concern is probably not warranted with the positive/negative system," he says.
Liberty Fitness facilities offer positive and negative movement in their classes and free weight programs that complement the circuit, Harper says. Curves encourages members to exercise outside the club using their circuit workouts as a springboard to other physical activities (presumably some that involve eccentric muscle actions).
Another concern about hydraulic equipment stems from its adaptability to different body sizes. Many of the hydraulic equipment manufacturers say that their equipment is for women ranging from 5 feet to 6 feet tall. But in reality, if the seat and other parts of the equipment aren't adjustable, how can the equipment really accommodate a 5-foot woman and a 6-foot woman without some adjusting?
"You have the measurement for the average person, but if you are above or below that, you are at higher risk [for injuries]," says Shannon Powell, president of Active Ergonomics Inc., which looks at ergonomic issues in the workplace. A person who repeats certain movements at an awkward position is at a higher risk for injury, she says.
A recent ACE-funded study by the University of Wisconsin-LaCrosse's exercise physiology department on the Curves workout stated that while the fitness chain's equipment is designed for women and includes pads on some equipment to make up for size differences, the machines may not fit some individuals perfectly causing the exercisers to sacrifice proper form.
Proper form isn't a big problem if the users aren't giving the workout all their effort. And that's another plateau issue with hydraulics — the workouts are dependent on the user's effort level, Bryant says.
"The exercise loads — and consequently, the outcomes — are proportional to your level of effort," Bryant says. "So you could have people just go through the motions. You get what you put into it. For new exercisers that could be a problem. Because they aren't accustomed to pushing themselves, they may not put forth enough effort."
That effort may become even less on hydraulic equipment because measures of progress on the equipment are less visual than with weight stack equipment where the increase in the number of plates allows the user to see their progress. For hydraulic equipment users, the only feedback is weight loss and feelings of more energy.
Despite the challenges that many hydraulic circuit facilities may have, these clubs have found their place in the fitness community. Overcoming the issue of plateauing by offering variety, resistance and eccentric as well as concentric muscle actions are three sure ways to keep members motivated and to move them past their plateaus.
Express Circuits Go Conventional
The success of Curves and other express clubs have caused conventional fitness facilities to take a look at their circuit setup. 24 Hour Fitness and Town Sports International (TSI) have revised their clubs to include an express circuit facility for members.
TSI has offered circuit workouts since it opened 30 years ago, says Ed Trainor, vice president of fitness services and product development at TSI. However, two-and-a-half years ago, the club installed its Xpress Line, a circuit area of eight weight stack machines.
"It fits people's lifestyles today as much as it ever did, but more so today," Trainor said about the express workout. "They know strength training is as important to them as cardio workouts…There's no one that has to spend more than an hour at the gym unless they want to."
The Xpress Line is located in the front of each facility, is manned by a trainer during primetime hours, and while it doesn't involve timed intervals or music, members can get through the circuit in about 22 minutes, Trainor says. The next machine is preset for members by the trainer (if on duty). Members are encouraged to do 10 to 12 reps and then work up in increments of five pounds. Because members don't take breaks between machines, it can also be a cardiovascular workout, often offering members a heart rate between 120-140 beats per minute, Trainor says.
The benefits of express circuit training are supported by research done by Dr. Wayne Wescott, fitness director at South Shore YMCA in Quincy, MA. While researching the effectiveness of weight stack circuits for TSI, Westcott found that working longer doesn't necessarily mean working harder. He performed a blind study where part of the group did the express circuit workout on weight stack machines and the other participants did longer workouts on the weight stack machines. Wescott tested the exercisers at the beginning and end of the workout period. The exercisers could choose whether they wanted to do the shorter or longer circuit. Two out of three chose the shorter workout.
When retesting was done, 80 percent of those who had done the brief, eight-station circuit workout had remained with the program. Less than 60 percent of those that chose the longer, harder program made it through. Those who completed the brief program had added four pounds of lean weight and lost four pounds of fat weight while those who did the longer workout had added two pounds of lean weight and lost four pounds of fat weight.
What Does This Mean to You?
If your fitness club is considering starting an express circuit facility, these five tips could help you on your way for a more successful program:
Separate the circuit area from the remainder of the facility to make new members feel more comfortable.
Make an instructor available during prime exercise times.
Keep the atmosphere more subdued in this area with softer music and fewer TVs.
Have a towel and spray bottle handy at each machine so beginners can wipe down the equipment before or after they use it, which can give the area a different atmosphere than the free weight cult they might envision.
"If they see a nice, neat, clean, supervised area, they feel they can relate and feel comfortable," Westcott says.
Check out the quality of the equipment externally and internally and answer the following questions: How is the equipment manufactured? Is level one easy enough and is level two hard enough?

Beatrice Dubois, dedicated fundraiser, assisted after home fire
Beatrice Dubois has always been a strong advocate for LANL employee giving programs. Every year, she organizes a bake sale in support of the annual employee giving campaign and musters support with her coworkers for the Lab's annual holiday drive. A perennial helper, she didn't realize that she might someday need help herself.
On February 21, 2011, a devastating fire broke out at Bea's home. She and her granddaughter were injured, and the fire completely destroyed their home, belongings, and vehicles. Bea's coworkers responded quickly and called on local nonprofit organizations to help. Self Help, Inc., American Red Cross, and Trinity on the Hill Episcopal Church and Thrift Store responded by providing clothing, housing, and other assistance to Bea and her family.
LANL employee contributions to the annual employee giving campaign make it possible for these and other nonprofit organizations in northern New Mexico to provide life-saving, crucial services to residents who find themselves in need.

Thank you very much, that indeed solved the problem... By the way, that didn't improve the performance of fftw. Dunno what to think. Maybe I'll examine the source to see if there's some bottleneck.

Philosophy Department Alumni
Seven of our recent graduates have gone on to graduate programs in philosophy. Two have received Masters degrees from Fordham University and University of Nebraska, three have completed Ph.D.s at The University of Buffalo, The City University of New York, and Syracuse, while two others are Ph.D. (A.B.D) at SUNY Albany. Many more graduates have gone on to law school or seminary. The philosophy major is an excellent undergraduate major for anyone going to graduate school in nearly any discipline.
