GOOPy DVDs
My Gwyneth last night after dinner at Cipriani. Very short skirt as usual. Long toned legs as usual. Red Kab string as usual. But no makeup which I love about my girl because, well, look at Carrie Underwood – more on that later. And then the hair. Prairie hair. Or settler hair. It's the GOOPer at her most "casual".
Speaking of GOOP…
Today's newsletter is my favourite so far.
DVD picks from famous directors!
Of course they're famous directors. She only knows famous people. And of course she had to name drop her godfather Steven Spielberg but she also gives Seth Rogen some love, and Jon Favreau who chooses Kung Fu Panda (heh), and Jeff Spicoli too. Last week she's a motherf-cker, this week a pot smoker.
Oh MiniVan, what will you think?
Way, way, WAAAAAAY better than her dumbass book list, this week's GOOP is almost (not entirely because it is Gwyneth after all) snark proof.
Click here to read.
Next week it's f-cking recipes again. Ugh.

31243, Hymns, Come, All Ye Sons of God, no. 322
1. Come, all ye sons of God who have received the priesthood;
Go spread the gospel wide and gather in his people.
The latter-day work has begun:
To gather scattered Israel in
And bring them back to Zion to praise the Lamb.
2. Come, all ye scattered sheep, and listen to your Shepherd,
While you the blessings reap which long have been predicted.
By prophets long it's been foretold:
He'll gather you into his fold
And bring you home to Zion to praise the Lamb.
3. Repent and be baptized, and have your sins remitted,
And get the Spirit's zeal; oh, then you'll be united.
Go cast upon him all your care;
He will regard your humble prayer
And bring you home to Zion to praise the Lamb.
4. And when your grief is o'er and ended your affliction,
Your spirits then will soar to await the Resurrection;
And then his presence you'll enjoy,
In heav'nly bliss your time employ,
A thousand years in Zion to praise the Lamb.

Hello! My name is Jennifer and I'm the author of A Merry Mishap. If any of you have visited my blog, you may already know that I'm a S.A.H.M. with an 18 month old boy and a 20 something year old husband who live in Boise, ID. With two busy boys in the house it's sometimes hard to sit in front of the computer for any length of time. This, my friends, is where Pinterest comes in. No, I don't work for them, and no, I'm not being endorsed to say this. It's just that dragging images to the desktop and then trying to remember where they came from can be too much work, embarrassing to say but it's true. I find myself "pinning" random images off and on during the day, sort of like dog-earring pages of a magazine you want to go back to. I must say, I've got a little collection going & on more than one occasion have referred to it for outfit ideas and recipes. Here are some of my most recent dog-ears. Hope you enjoy!

Withdrawals are regularly stalled or refused by such operations; if a client has good reason to expect a payment, the operator will simply stop taking their phone calls.
In Israel, where a high concentration of such firms can be found, binary options trading was prohibited for Israeli customers in March on the grounds that it is a form of gambling and not a legitimate investment technique. On June 18, , a ban on marketing binary options to customers outside of Israel was passed by the cabinet.
In August , Belgium's Financial Services and Markets Authority banned binary options schemes, based on concerns about widespread fraud. No firms are registered in Canada to offer or sell binary options, so no binary options trading is currently allowed. Provincial regulators have proposed a complete ban on all binary options trading include a ban on online advertising for binary options trading sites. The effect is that binary options platforms operating in Cyprus, where many of the platforms are now based, would have to be CySEC regulated within six months of the date of the announcement.
In , CySEC prevailed over the disreputable binary options brokers and communicated intensively with traders in order to prevent the risks of using unregulated financial services. CySEC also issued a warning against binary option broker PlanetOption at the end of the year and another warning against binary option broker LBinary on January 10, , pointing out that it was not regulated by the Commission and the Commission had not received any notification by any of its counterparts in other European countries to the effect of this firm being a regulated provider.
OptionBravo and ChargeXP were also financially penalized. The AMF stated that it would ban the advertising of certain highly speculative and risky financial contracts to private individuals by electronic means. The French regulator is determined to cooperate with the legal authorities to have illegal websites blocked.
This ban was seen by industry watchers as having an impact on sponsored sports such as European football clubs.
In March binary options trading within Israel was banned by the Israel Securities Authority , on the grounds that such trading is essentially gambling and not a form of investment management. The ban was extended to overseas clients as well in October In The Times of Israel ran several articles on binary options fraud.
Israel's vast, amoral binary options scam exposed" revealed that the industry is a scam. The companies were also banned permanently from operating in the United States or selling to U. The CEO and six other employees were charged with fraud, providing unlicensed investment advice, and obstruction of justice. On May 15, , Eliran Saada, the owner of Express Target Marketing , which has operated the binary options companies InsideOption and SecuredOptions, was arrested on suspicion of fraud, false accounting, forgery, extortion , and blackmail.
In August Israeli police superintendent Rafi Biton said that the binary trading industry had "turned into a monster". He told the Israeli Knesset that criminal investigations had begun. They arrested her for wire fraud and conspiracy to commit wire fraud. This required providers to obtain a category 3 Investment Services license and conform to MiFID's minimum capital requirements ; firms could previously operate from the jurisdiction with a valid Lottery and Gaming Authority license.
In April , New Zealand 's Financial Markets Authority FMA announced that all brokers that offer short-term investment instruments that settle within three days are required to obtain a license from the agency. The FCA in did propose bringing binary options under its jurisdiction and restricting them. The Isle of Man , a self-governing Crown dependency for which the UK is responsible, has issued licenses to companies offering binary options as "games of skill" licensed and regulated under fixed odds betting by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission GSC.
On October 19, , London police [ disambiguation needed ] raided 20 binary options firms in London. Fraud within the market is rife, with many binary options providers using the names of famous and respectable people without their knowledge. In the United States, the Securities and Exchange Commission approved exchange-traded binary options in On the exchange binary options were called "fixed return options" FROs ; calls were named "finish high" and puts were named "finish low".
To reduce the threat of market manipulation of single stocks, FROs use a "settlement index" defined as a volume-weighted average of trades on the expiration day. Montanaro submitted a patent application for exchange-listed binary options using a volume-weighted settlement index in In Nadex , a U. On June 6, , the U. Commodity Futures Trading Commission CFTC and the Securities and Exchange Commission jointly issued an Investor Alert to warn about fraudulent promotional schemes involving binary options and binary options trading platforms.
The two agencies said that they had received numerous complaints of fraud about binary options trading sites, "including refusal to credit customer accounts or reimburse funds to customers; identity theft ; and manipulation of software to generate losing trades". Other binary options operations were violating requirements to register with regulators.
Regulators found the company used a "virtual office" in New York's Trump Tower in pursuit of its scheme, evading a ban on off-exchange binary option contracts. The company neither admitted nor denied the allegations. In February the Times of Israel reported that the FBI was conducting an active international investigation of binary option fraud, emphasizing its international nature, saying that the agency was "not limited to the USA".
The investigation is not limited to the binary options brokers, but is comprehensive and could include companies that provide services that allow the industry to operate. Credit card issuers will be informed of the fraudulent nature of much of the industry, which could possibly allow victims to receive a chargeback , or refund, of fraudulently obtained money.
On March 13, , the FBI reiterated its warning, declaring that the "perpetrators behind many of the binary options websites, primarily criminals located overseas, are only interested in one thing—taking your money". They also provide a checklist on how to avoid being victimized. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Edward King, originally from Middlefield, Massachusetts, was a press correspondent for several American journals. Among his specialties was describing the physical characteristics and "present condition" of the post-Civil War South. In 1875, he published "The Great South: A Record of Journeys" which relates the history, politics and economics of the Southern states. The pages selected here cover statistics on cotton manufacturing in America, and the state of Southern education at the end of the Reconstruction period. The report on the condition of schools justifies segregation of the races in school, but argues for improved education for all throughout the South. He criticizes the federal government for not contributing enough and laments that the Southern states and a handful of societies and individuals have been the only ones assisting in this effort.

The GSM on/off/on bug seems to be kinda fixed, according to a post on the tracker it was removed as an option and the ticket has been closed. Therefor this is no longer an issue and am going to remove it from the wiki page.

I think that the OM2008.8 Guide should be near the top of the page, right below Introduction. It seems hidden down below What's New, Customization, etc.

KDEPrint Site Goes Live
Chris Howells wrote in to inform us of the new KDEPrint site at printing.kde.org. The site is chockful of information including pretty screenshots, a description of new KDEPrint features slated for KDE3, information, presentation, and general documentation including a faq, handbook, and tutorials. But wait, there's more! For no extra cost, you may subscribe to a brand new kde-print mailing list where both users and developers are welcome. So if you have trouble or issues with KDEPrint not already dealt with by the site, feel free to subscribe to that list. Enjoy.
The printing system in KDE 2.2 and the further developments in KDE 3 are my favourite part of KDE: when combined with CUPS they finally bring printing on UNIX out of the dark ages! I'm still amazed how quickly it was developed once someone got an itch to do it. It often seems to be overlooked - do people not realise just how imporant decent printing support is, both for general quality of life *and* in getting KDE accepted by business?
Congratulations to all involved.

there's a good description on www.cups.org. As Jon already said cups together with the gimpprint drivers make a quite good printing system. I'm using it with a hp970cxi and I'm happy with the results... You should give it a try. What distribution do you use?

Re: Wonderful!

Re: Wonderful!
I have a Samsung ML 6060N, network printer, apparently it supports linux, but the instructions for their including software are terrible, in fact, non-existent. So basically, does anyone know how to make this work with linux?

Re: Wonderful!
I have a mita 570 laserprinter ... no support! hardware support for linux is not good but it's getting better and better
By Andreas at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
One of the reason Epson inkjets and decent HP laserjets are well supported is that they speak a command language (ESC/P / PCL). Write a driver for that command language, and you support all the printers which understand it. Similar to having a modem which understands the AT command set.
The problem is that many cheap modern printers are 'winprinters'. Just like with 'winmodems', they have stripped out of all the complicated electronics, and make the computer do all the processing. This makes writing drivers for them much much more compilicated.
Do a bit of research the next time you are buying a product, to check that it isn't a crippled 'winproduct'.
By Jon at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
personly I never buy hardware without linux support ... the printer isnt mine
By Andreas at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
I don't want to answer all the posts. I'll just try to give some clues. For people having printing problem, some mailing lists exists and we'd be glad to help you if we can (http://cups.sourceforge.net, http://printing.kde.org).
If you're looking for printer support, the first thing you should do is to have a look at http://www.linuxprinting.org. This site has a huge DB about printing under Linux, and you can also download drivers from there. Now, about the printer support under Linux, let me state that the first reason about the poor support is mainly due to the printer manufacturers themselves. So I'm tempted to say that if you really want to complain, send an e-mail to your printer manufacturer. This situation is slowly changing, and some big manufacturer has begun to support Linux. But in most cases, the printer protocol is proprietary and drivers can only be made be reverse engineering, which takes a lot of time.
Being in the printing world for quite some time, I can tell you however that many printers *are* supported under Linux. All PS printers of course, PCL printers (3,4,5, at least), Epson printers, Lexmark printers, Canon printers, even so-called "winprinters" are partially supported (like the PPA printers from HP). In many cases, your printer *is* supported, the only thing is to know how, and that's where linuxprinting.org is useful. Of course not *all* printers are supported, especially some "exotic" ones, because they are not commonly used, especially by people that would be tempted to write a driver for them. In that case, the only possibility is to ask the manufacturer.
I'd like also to add that KDEPrint is not a low level library, it's mainly intended to be a user interface between KDE applications and a print spooler. In no way it deals with supporting this or that printer, this is the job of the print spooler, and KDEPrint doesn't aim to help there.
By Michael Goffioul at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
Postscript printers have (obviously) always been supported well.
For the newer printers, you have a lot of choice... particularly with tools like gimp-print developing decent support for modern inkjets and lazer printers.
CUPS + gimp-print is already the default printing system in Mandrake. I hope it spreads through all the other Linux distos, and all the other UNIces as well.
By Jon at Wed, 2001/12/05 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
You don't need gimp-print with cups. I think most distro's ship the cupsomatic backend now, and linuxprinting.org gives you an enormous database of printers to choose from to generate printer specific PPD files that make use of it. I've got this config working for an OfficeJet K60 and the quality is as good as Windows. Didn't need gimp-print at all. I did need the HP ptal driver kit to get the actual connection to the OfficeJet working, but that has nothing to do with KDE or the printing part per-se, just the connection over USB.
By John at Thu, 2001/12/06 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
Some of the drivers from Foomatic are based on gimp-print. Actually, the stp driver for ghostscript IS gimp-print. So you may still use gimp-print without knowing it (gimp-print driver is usually compiled in ghostscript in recent Linux distros).

gimp drivers for an idiot
Hi all,
Along the lines of the dark ages... I speak of course only of my knowledge. I'm having a bit of trouble finding info that I can understand on gimp drivers (I'm a geologist and I'm much better with rocks...). I have several HPs that haven't worked well since an HP 120nr was introduced to them. Now I have some font issues, like fonts printing too thick. I've looked up the supported printers list for gimp and only one of my printers is on it. Does this mean I shouldn't try gimp? Is there another option at all? If you answer my query, do please use the smallest words you can, this geek-speak is new to me.
By Rebecca Kraft at Mon, 2005/01/10 - 6:00am
Re: Wonderful!
I'll respond to this rather than the other respondents of this node.
All of the other tools that already exist work fine, I can get network and local printers to work great. But I should have to go to http://www.linuxprinting.org to get my printer to work. There should be a straight forward, easy to find, consistant place to setup the printer.

What about True Type Fonts??
I wonder whether other languages' true type fonts, like for hindi, telugu, etc., get printed with this! Or the user got to get the PCF font?
By Asif Ali Rizwaan at Wed, 2001/12/05 - 6:00am
Re: What about True Type Fonts??
First, let me say that the KDEPrint site (and screenshots!!!) look fantastic. Congratulations, developers! Secondly, is anyone thinking of plugging in the libgnomeprint library to KDEPrint? It seems that with CUPS, gimp-print, and gnome-print tied together, there will be even more printing resources under this nice interface. I've heard that the gnome-print people are looking into a CUPS plug-in. It would be a nice thing if the KDE people and the GNOME people worked together on this one. :-)

What we REALLY need is one kio_exchange and a kio_wince! I can imagine they are extremely difficult to code, but they'd add a LOT of value to KDE (more than $69 ;)!

I use ppp to wince + an ftp server on the handheld + kio_ftp to do something quite like that. I simply dock my casio, and click on the konqueror shortcut. Wallah! All my files are a drag and drop away.

Re: IOSlave
Not having a CE unit (okay... I have two CE v1.0 units), I can't do this - but I urge you to write it up in a HOWTO, or even better, as a DocBook format and contribute it to the PIM team. I know several people off-hand that would find that solution very useful, and some of them couldn't get it to work without a bit of hand holding (which is what good documentation does).

I know you can acces a wince's files. What I was talking about was not transferring files, but syncing addresses, calendars etc. with korganizer/aethera and others.

Re: IOSlave
I agree. In fact, I have sent a bug/wishlist suggesting that IO should be more generalized. The KIO is a great first attempt at such a thing. This should actually go much further. KIO should be used for Input/Output even on Open/Save dialogs.

Re: IOSlave
It does - even the first version of the file dialog which I wrote for KDE 1.x supported network transparency. The reason it doesn't do so in all cases is because the author of the application chooses between requesting a URL with getOpenFileURL() or a local file with getOpenFileName(). So, if you want things fixed you should identify the specific applications which don't support URLs and talk to their authors.

What are you talking about? The printing interface is completely different from Windows' for several reasons:
1) It's Open Source. Windows' is not. Hello!

Q: Can I use KDEPrint together with GNOME?
[No flame-war intended here. Just to proof: KDE/GNOME inter-operation is starting to gain ground... ;-) ]
Very usefull stuff, these FAQs! Also the various print tutorials the printing.kde.org site. Printing sucks much less with CUPS/KDEprint. Big kudos to the whole kdeprint team.

(Reuters) - Oklahoma City Thunder forward Serge Ibaka has been fined $25,000 for striking Blake Griffin of the Los Angeles Clippers in the groin area, the National Basketball Association said on Tuesday.
The incident, which occurred as the two players battled for rebounding position during Sunday's game, was upgraded to a flagrant foul 2 from a flagrant foul 1 after league review.

So at this point we've seen the Gamer Tag features and other bits and pieces of what you can do with Xbox Live on Windows Phone 7 Series devices, but the party line on what to expect with real gaming has been consistent; stay tuned for MIX.
At the TechEd Middle East event, Microsoft's Eric Rudder had the opportunity to demonstrate what we can expect of games that have a foot in multiple worlds; console, PC, and mobile. Rudder's demo showed the same game (Indiana Jones) being played on multiple platforms. The Windows Phone 7 Series device utilized an accelerometer to control the movement and a tap on the screen to jump.
This type of scenario fits in perfectly with Microsoft's "three screens and a cloud" approach to life, the universe, and everything. The ability to begin one game and have it continue seamlessly on another device would be a real coup for a company that has a much broader footprint in the services world than any other company in the smartphone business.
Video of the demo is after the break.

Many heirs of West Virginia Union veterans of the Civil War may be eligible to claim medals struck to honor their ancestors years ago. Most of the medals were claimed by the veterans themselves, their immediate families, or their descendants, but several thousand medals remain unclaimed. A list of the unclaimed medals is available at Archives and History and on its website.
To claim an ancestor's medal, a claimant must submit his or her line of descent from the veteran along with documentation to support this line of descent. To establish line of descent, claimants must include copies of primary sources, including birth, death, marriage, will, deed, military, census, Bible records, etc. Old letters, diaries, marriage announcements, or obituaries may also prove helpful in supporting a descendant's claim. Please note that a family chart submitted without primary source documentation is not sufficient.
The claimant who establishes the most direct relationship to the veteran will be awarded the ancestor's medal six months from the date the fully documented claim is received by Archives and History. The purpose of the six-month waiting period is to allow for sufficient verification of the descendant's claim and for submission of counterclaim(s) by other potential descendant(s). In the case of equal claims, the descendant whose claim was received first will be awarded the medal.
To submit a claim for a remaining medal, please submit the application form with appropriate documentation and a fifty dollar ($50.00) non-refundable fee to:
Medal claims may only be submitted by mail or hand-delivered in person. None will be accepted via e-mail or fax.

Norris helps A's down Giants
Oakland, CA – Derek Norris hit a two-run homer and Adam Rosales added a solo shot to back a quality start by Jarrod Parker as the Oakland Athletics took down the San Francisco Giants, 6-3, en route to their fifth straight win.
Parker (3-6) limited the Giants to two runs on five hits over seven strong innings, while Jed Lowrie went 2-for-3 with a run scored and an RBI in the victory.
The A's have won 10 of their last 11, including both games of this interleague set at the Coliseum. The cross-bay rivals play in San Francisco on Wednesday and Thursday.
Mike Kickham (0-1) recorded just seven outs in a forgettable big league debut for the Giants. The 24-year-old left-hander out of Missouri State was touched for four runs on four hits and four walks.
Hunter Pence hit a solo homer off Grant Balfour in the ninth inning and staked Kickham to an early lead with an RBI single in the first, but that proved to be the only hit with runners in scoring position the Giants had all night.
Norris found the left-field seats in the second inning with Lowrie on first, and Kickham lost control of the strike zone in the third.
Two walks around Yoenis Cespedes' double into the left-field corner loaded the bases for Lowrie, who took a payoff pitch off the plate to force in a run. Nate Freiman added a run-scoring base hit to end Kickham's brief appearance.
Chad Gaudin also walked in a run in the fifth, issuing a four-pitch free pass to Seth Smith to put the A's on top by a 5-1 margin.
Buster Posey hit a run-scoring groundout in the away sixth, and Rosales took Jose Mijares deep in the eighth.
Game Notes
Kickham, the first player from the Giants' 2010 draft class to reach the majors, was called up from Triple-A Fresno before the game ... Cespedes has a 10-game hitting streak ... The Giants have lost seven of their last eight on the road.

Two Burbank City Council members this week voiced qualms over a provision in the city's new nepotism policy that bans relatives of many City Hall executives and those serving on the dais from being municipal employees.
The new rules — approved roughly four months ago by the Civil Service Board — affects relatives of the city manager, executives in the city manager's office, management service director and City Council members from working simultaneously for the city.
Family members can be hired after the council members or city employees have completed their service to the city, according to the policy. Existing employees will not be affected.
But on Tuesday, Councilman Jess Talamantes said adhering to the rule could force managers to overlook qualified applicants.
"There's a lot of sons and daughters who follow in their parents' footsteps, and that's just because the good seeds don't fall too far from the trunk," Talamantes said. "Shame on me for wanting to serve my community and be on the City Council and then tell my kids, 'No, you can't be a firefighter in Burbank.'"
Talamantes later said he fully supported the overall policy.
Councilman Gary Bric thought the rule banning relatives of the council from employment was especially strict given that no one on the dais has hiring power over city employees except for the city manager and city treasurer.
"That would be like saying 'OK, I'm running for City Council.' My son's got an application to the city, my son saying, 'Dear God, I hope you lose so I can get a job with the city,'" Bric said. "That doesn't make a lot of sense."
Councilwoman Emily Gabel-Luddy said that while she understood those concerns, she supported the policy.
"Now that we're in public service, it's a whole different issue of public trust," she said. "This policy, therefore, tries to walk a very fine line and I think it does a good job."
Meanwhile, Mayor Dave Golonski felt that parts of the policy — including the ban on hiring relatives of the council and city manager — should be taken further and put into an ordinance.
Councilman David Gordon agreed.
"The city manager should not be the person to be able to change these policies after we note and file them," Gordon said.
Unable to agree on how to move forward, the City Council unanimously agreed to put off any action on the policy pending the arrival of interim City Manager Ken Pulskamp on Dec. 3, giving him an opportunity to review it.

Sporting News' Hall of Fame basketball writer answers five questions on his sport's front burner, after confirming with three geologists that his summer home in Cannes is not over a sinkhole.
1. Saw you say on Twitter that whoever lands Jahlil Okafor and Tyus Jones will have the unquestioned No. 1 recruiting class. Explain yourself.
DeCourcy: A funny thing about trying to use math or analytics to try to rank recruiting classes. One might think it was one of these young, snappy types who cooked up the process. But the first person I saw do it was Clark Francis, who has been around the game almost as long as peach baskets.
Francis knows basketball very well, and has a useful book out now on the recruiting process, "How to Get Recruited," designed to help parents understand what goes into securing a basketball scholarship for a young athlete.
But I've debated with him for years on this subject. Not all 5-star prospects are created equal, and signing four prospects rated 4-stars might not be better than one truly elite recruit.
MORE: Okafor, Jones pick Duke | Cliff Alexander headed to KU | SN's Top 25 prospects
The greatest college recruiting class of all time was Lew Alcindor. Period. That there were others who went with him strengthened the UCLA Bruins, but he'd have earned that distinction alone. Because he'd have made a great team out of whomever UCLA already had in the program. It would have been the same had LeBron James come along in another era, but his effect on the Miami Heat is similar to what it would have been for, say, Ohio State.
Okafor and Jones are Sporting News' No. 1 and No. 2 rated prospects, and they cover the two most important positions on the floor. I could be persuaded that Dallas-area big man Myles Turner might have a similar long-term impact in the game, but I'm not as convinced he's ready to carry a program in the same way as Okafor for a single season at the Division I level.
There are some other excellent recruiting classes out there, and some classes that already are strong could be enriched by landing wing Stanley Johnson or power forward Cliff Alexander on Friday. But the team that gets Jones and Okafor, who have pledged to attend college together, will be landing the best players in the 2014 class around whom a coach can build a team. Having the best players wins more often in this game than having the most good ones.
2. Beyond the three star freshmen that stole headlines in Tuesday's Champions Classic, what other player caught your eye as a standout performer in Chicago?
DeCourcy: If you talked to someone around the Kansas program before the season began, there was a good chance you'd hear one comment more than other: I wouldn't be surprised if Perry Ellis winds up leading the team in scoring.
It was freshman Andrew Wiggins who was getting all the attention, and he is so gifted he can make himself the team's leading scorer if that's what he wants, if he perceives that to be what the Jayhawks need. But if it's not, Ellis demonstrated with his terrific effort against Duke that he can deliver what so many promised for him.
Ellis has made significant upgrades to his strength and conditioning to go with a skill level that always was terrific. He was 9-of-13 from the field against the Blue Devils and made his only 3-pointer. His ability to hit mid-range jumpers will challenge any defense. He's an excellent college basketball player.
MORE: Wiggins, Parker live up to hype, but KU freshman is closer | Champions Classic photos
3. Now how about the nation as the whole. Who has been your standout through the first week?
DeCourcy: Oregon's Joseph Young, the transfer from Houston granted immediate eligibility, is showing how rewarding it will be for players willing and able to attack the rim or the lane under the "new rules" for defensive contact.
Through two games, he is averaging 30 points. One of those games was against Western Carolina, when he scored 36 points on just 12 field goal attempts, but the other was against Georgetown, and the Hoyas fouled him almost as often.
Young has attempted a combined 28 free throws in his two games and, most important, he's making them. He has only one miss through two games.
Athletic wing players should take note. If this is how basketball is to be played, free throw accuracy will be more valuable than ever. Defenders aren't allowed to touch a ballhandler, but sometimes they still do, and fouls are called immediately. Making poor use of the free throws awarded in those circumstances got very good teams beaten from Virginia, Duke and Kentucky just on Tuesday night.
This is what we might call an unintended consequence of the change: Fundamental basketball became more important.
4. If Thad Matta coached at a basketball-centric school, would his remarkable record as coach be more appreciated?
DeCourcy: The simple truth is if Matta coached at a basketball-centric school, more fans would be bothered he hasn't won a national championship. Because that's how fans are, and sometimes reporters and analysts, too. Remember when all those people were saying Bill Self wasn't a great coach because his teams kept losing in the Elite Eight—2000, 2001, 2004, 2007. Oh, the humanities!
When KU broke through in an excruciating 2008 Midwest Region final against Stephen Curry and Davidson—yep, Bob McKillop had the best player on the floor by far—the Jayhawks went on to claim the championship in the greatest Final Four ever assembled. So now Self is acknowledged as a wizard.
At OSU, they like their team to score more points than those they play. They do a terrific job of filling Value City Arena and creating an imposing homecourt atmosphere for the biggest games. But the Blue Jackets and the Crew can tell you, just as the basketball Buckeyes can, the sport that truly consumes Columbus is played on fall Saturdays. And I mean consumes. OSU football is what matters.
That's not a criticism. People love what they love.
Matta understands he's in an excellent position. He can win a championship at OSU. He was in the ballpark in 2011, came kind of close in 2012 and was really close in 2007. If his perimeter players had guarded the 3-point line better, as it said on the scouting report, who knows? So he's got two Final Fours to go along with an absolutely ridiculous track record in Big Ten play: five regular season titles won or shared, four league tournament titles, appearances in seven of the past eight title games.
Ohio has produced some excellent players for Matta, and he's complemented that base with shrewd recruiting that's attracted Evan Turner, Mike Conley and Greg Oden to the Buckeyes. Matta has a great job. Ohio State has a great coach. Not sure either could truly do better.
5. Why doesn't college hoops have a national signing day like college football? I mean, think of what Wednesday could have been.
DeCourcy: One of the things that actually makes college basketball superior to college football—I mean, aside from the fact the champion actually is decided on the field of play—is that hoops prospects aren't so obsessed with the National Letter of Intent. Most of them still sign, which is too bad, but they don't line up like sheep the way the football guys do.
If there's ever going to be a revolution against the NLI, as there should be, it'll begin with basketball. I've no doubt about that. Brandon Knight, for instance, was wise enough not to sign a letter with Kentucky but pledged and honored his commitment to join the Wildcats. Why didn't he sign? In case.
There's no money in it, which is why you don't have attorneys waging a media campaign against the letter, but there's far more injustice in that document than there is in presenting a young person a free education, living expenses and elite-level training in their sport in exchange for playing ball.
What does the NLI promise to those who sign it? Nothing. What does it demand in return? Pretty much everything: If you break it without permission, you can damage your athletic career irreparably. Such a deal. The football folks celebrate those signings? No thanks.

City Officials Help Brew Up Craft Beer Growth
ST. PAUL (AP) — Have a beer, help the economy? That seems to be the idea in some cities that have rushed to embrace craft brewers.
The craft brewing scene is bubbling over in Minnesota, just as it is across the country. And much of that growth has been driven by city officials.
In Minneapolis, Fulton Beer president Ryan Petz says city leaders tweaked city ordinances and zoning codes to help pave the way for his brewery and others. Mayor R.T. Rybak says the city has done all it can to support new breweries. He says they can draw tourists and help with economic development.
Duluth is another city seen as out front in helping small breweries.
Roughly two-thirds of the state's breweries have opened since 2010.

Manitoulin Island
Earth : North America : Canada : Ontario : Northern Ontario : Manitoulin Island
Manitoulin Island is large island in northern Lake Huron in the province of Ontario, Canada. It is the largest fresh water island in the world.
Get in
There are two ways to get to Manitoulin Island: by car, or by boat. The swing bridge at Little Current, at the northeastern tip of the island, connects Manitoulin to Ontario's highway network. From there, it is a little less than 2 hours by car to Sudbury and almost six hours by car to Toronto.
From mid-May to mid-October, a ferry called the MS Chi-Cheemaun [22] travels from Tobermory to the village of South Baymouth, at the southeastern tip of the island.
Get around
There are lots of cyclists on the Island but there are no trail systems (Trans Canada Trail). Please ensure that safety procedures are taken as you will have to share the road with cars. There are extensive back roads that are quieter and less traveled than the main highway roads.

Tim Tebow chose to steer clear of the New York Jets' locker room on "baggie day." We can't say we blame him.
Tebow really gains nothing from discussing his lost season in New York any further. It's time to move on, and Tebow surely is counting down the minutes until he's up on a podium wearing the hat of a different NFL team.
Unlike Tebow, quarterback Mark Sanchez actually might have a future with the Jets. On the day the team fired the general manager responsible for drafting him, Sanchez put a positive spin on the prospect of a continued relationship with coach Rex Ryan.
"We had a lot of wins together," Sanchez said of Ryan, "and I know there's plenty more to come."
Sanchez also had a message for Jets fans.
"Just hang in there. They've been through tougher times than this," he said, via The New York Daily News. "There's good things to come and on the horizon."
He's right about that first part. Jets fans have been through worse (lest we forget the 4-28 Rich Kotite era). As for Sanchez, he certainly sounds like a guy who believes he'll be part of the plan to get Gang Green back to the playoffs.
Whether or not it actually plays out that way remains to be seen.

Miss Venus Project 222
We are organizing The 1st Annual Miss Venus Project 222 International Swimsuit Modeling Competition! It is an exciting opportunity for any woman in the modeling industry, one aspiring to be a model, or just one aspiring to win some extra cash and a great trip to the Caribbean! While in the Caribbean, final contestants will be modeling to show support for peaceful solutions to world-wide problems; achieved by competing in The Miss Venus Project 222 Caribbean Edition International Swimsuit Modeling Competition! All Caribbean Edition contestants will be professionally photographed and featured in our Miss Venus Project 222 Caribbean Edition Wall Calendar!
Our target is a younger, college-aged audience; however, we also must appeal to a business manager's perspective of what will seem successful and marketable. Our job, ultimately, is to offer a club venue a marketing advantage over its competition; which is what our competition is designed for - a marketing tool used by venues to increase profits by getting people through their doors.
We're looking for a crisp & clean logo for our swimsuit modeling competition. The logo we pick will be one that can be easily converted to a different "Edition". For example, in the future we will be expanding the competition to include other regions of the world, which will be called "European Edition", "African Edition", etc; Therefore, the logo should consist of the title "Miss Venus Project 222" and also have the words "International Swimsuit Modeling Competition" with an emphasis on this competition being, 'International' in scope. The words "Caribbean Edition" should be something of a banner or "sash" perhaps overlaying the logo.
As far as the numbers "222" in the name, we would like to give these numbers a sense of cyberspace (Matrix-like) or a ghostly appearance, mysterious or a subtle-like message. A background or overlay of the numbers might work though if "Caribbean Edition" is overlaid, it may not. Not sure. These are just some ideas of a feel that we may be interested in seeing. We would still like you to be as creative as possible. Bear in mind, though, that if it begins looking ridiculous, "too busy" or "gaudy", then please just default on it looking "clean and crisp", for that is what we would prefer.
We will allow you to be creative with it from here. Thank you and good luck!

Browns quarterback Seneca Wallace said Tuesday that it's a misconception he's an unwilling mentor, and said he would be more than happy to help prepare Brandon Weeden to start the season.
"I know my job going into my 10th season of being in this offense is to prepare Brandon Weeden to get him right and make sure he's ready to go for Day One," he told 92.3 The Fan.
"This is a different beast. This is a first-rounder that we drafted, 22nd overall and, from a business standpoint, you know and everybody else knows and outsiders know that this kid's got to play. My job as a veteran guy is to make sure he's ready to play."
Wallace said his comments to The Fan last December that he's "not a mentor" and that mentoring is "not his thing," were specific to his situation of competing for the starting job with Colt McCoy.
"I would love to address that," he said. "That is not the case. Last year, going into the season, there was an open competition with me and Colt McCoy. I said if Colt was to ask me about anything I had related to the West Coast system, I was willing to do that for him.
"The competitor that I am, I still wanted to go out and play the sport and play in the West Coast system and try to earn a spot to be the starter. I couldn't give him all of my tips. I didn't want to give them all away, but if he asked, I was willing to help.
"Once we got into the season, and the season evolved and he was the guy, when he asked me for any type of 'Hey, what's my drop here, what do I gotta do here?' I was willing to help him on that. It's not that I don't want to help anybody else or nothing like that, but that was a different situation.
"Going into 2012 now, with Brandon Weeden coming in, he's a first-round draft pick. We all know the business side of it and you're going to see that guy play if it's Week 1 or Week 7, he's going to be playing."
Wallace said the perception that he's not a team player is inaccurate. "People looking at me and saying that he doesn't want to mentor, no, I'm more than willing," he said. "I've been a team guy for 10 years. There's never been a knock on me not being a team guy. I actually caught a ball from Colt McCoy this past season. It's not that I'm not a team guy and don't want to help out. At the same time, going into the season, I have to prepare myself to be ready to play in the event [someone gets hurt]."
Wallace said he doesn't know how it will work out with him, McCoy and Weeden on the roster. The Browns also like developmental quarterback Thad Lewis.
"I don't know," he said. "That's a sticky situation. Colt was the starter and now they bring another kid in to pretty much replace me and Colt, so you never know what kind of reaction you're going to get [from the fans]. It's just a sticky situation, and I'm sure management here in Cleveland will make sure they make the right decision."
Wallace, who is in town working out in the Browns' off-season program, started three games at the end of last season. In his first start at Arizona, he completed 18-of-31 passes for 226 yards and one TD — a 76-yarder to Greg Little — and no interceptions for a 91.6 passer rating. The Browns lost, 20-17, in overtime.
In a 20-14 loss the next week at Baltimore, Wallace was 19-of-33 passing for 147 yards and one touchdown with an interception. His passer rating was 66.1. Wallace started the season finale against Pittsburgh, a 13-9 loss, and completed 16-of-41 passes for 177 yards. He threw one interception and his passer rating was 42.4.
Despite the three season-ending losses, Wallace felt he had shown enough to win the starting job or at least compete for it in camp.
But those plans changed when the Browns selected Weeden.
"I'm a pro," Wallace said. "I have to prepare myself to play and at the same time mentor somebody else."
Spielman insists he had offers: Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman reiterated Monday that he didn't fool the Browns into trading up to No. 3 to draft Alabama running back Trent Richardson.
He first said it on ESPN's "Mike and Mike in the Morning" the day after the trade.
"We did have offers on the table, I can tell you that. I'm not going to tell you who or what. But I will say Cleveland did the right thing," Spielman told the St. Paul (Minn.) Pioneer Press on Monday.
The Vikings did talk to Tampa Bay about trading up, but the Bucs were never serious about it, according to Sports Illustrated's Peter King.
But Browns team President Mike Holmgren said Sunday that he urged General Manager Tom Heckert and coach Pat Shurmur to do whatever it took to get Richardson.
"I think both teams benefited from that trade," Spielman said. "Cleveland got a very unique running back, and it's very important for their offense — and I think we were able to accomplish what we wanted."
The Browns surrendered fourth-, fifth-, and seventh-round picks to move up a spot. The Vikings selected Southern Cal offensive tackle Matt Kalil at No. 4, Arkansas wide receiver Jarius Wright with the fourth-rounder (118th overall) and Notre Dame cornerback Robert Blanton with the fifth-round pick (139th).
They traded the seventh-rounder — 211th overall — to the Titans for a 2013 sixth-rounder.
Wright, who caught 66 passes for 1,137 yards and 12 TDs last season, was rated the 24th-best receiver out of 284 by nfldraftscout.com, which projected him as a fifth- or sixth-rounder. The Browns passed on Wright in favor of speedy Miami (Fla.) receiver Travis Benjamin (100th overall).
Nfldraftscout.com projected Blanton as a sixth-rounder.
No Gaffney: The Browns aren't expected to pursue veteran receiver Jabar Gaffney, whom the Redskins released Tuesday. Gaffney, 31, led the Redskins last season with 68 catches for 947 yards and five touchdowns.

The Gnostic Ghosts That Haunt Us
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Jun 02, 2009 Category: ArticlesI was reminded this afternoon of a liturgy within a liturgy that I practice. My two youngest daughters, Erin Claire and Maili had their first dance recital. They are a part of a small ballet group made up of homeschooled little girls in our broader community. They danced beautifully, received their applause, smiled as only little girls can, and came and sat beside me, giving and receiving hugs. The entire rest of the family was there to cheer them on. The second dance troupe was a little older, and they danced to Pachelbel's Canon in D. As they danced I glanced over at my eleven year old daughter Shannon, smiling joyfully as she took in both the music and dancing. She sat there in her wheelchair and rejoiced. Keep Reading

The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 5)
from R.C. Sproul May 29, 2009 Category: ArticlesPursuing knowledge of the will of God is not an abstract science designed to titillate the intellect or to convey the kind of knowledge that "puffs up" but fails to edify. An understanding of the will of God is a desperately important matter for every Christian seeking to live a life that is pleasing to his or her Creator. It is a very practical thing for us to know what God wants for our lives. A Christian asks, "What are my marching orders? What should my role be in contributing to the establishment of the kingdom of God? What does God want me to do with my life?" lt is inconceivable that a Christian could live for very long without coming face-to-face with these gripping questions. Keep Reading
The Meaning of God's Will (pt. 4)
from R.C. Sproul May 28, 2009 Category: ArticlesThis aspect of the will of God refers to what is pleasing and agreeable to God. It expresses something of the attitude of God to his creatures. Some things are "well pleasing in his sight," while other things are said to grieve him. He may allow (but not via moral permission) wicked things to transpire, but he is by no means pleased by them.

Two Kingdoms, One God
from Keith Mathison May 27, 2009 Category: ArticlesWithout a doubt, the greatest theologian in the first thousand years of the church was Augustine of Hippo (354-430). His voluminous theological, exegetical, and devotional writings have had a lasting impact and continue to be studied to this day. One of Augustine's greatest works is The City of God, written to defend the Christian faith from its pagan attackers as the Roman Empire was collapsing. It is one of the most influential books ever written. The City of God is available in a number of English translations, but one of the clearest and most readable is the translation by Henry Bettenson in the Penguin Classics series. Keep Reading
Love Letters
from R.C. Sproul Jr. May 26, 2009 Category: ArticlesIt is a strange habit, though I am often caught in its grip. Why is it, I wonder, that we find ourselves so often longing for those days of the early church? Where did we begin to confuse the descriptive with the prescriptive, using what was the church once upon a time as a guide to what the church should be in our own day? The source of this foolishness is likely more Rousseau and likely less the Bible. Rousseau was the father of the modern Romantic movement who argued that man is basically good and that it is the debilitating effects of culture that always make things worse. The more primitive we can get, the better off we will be. Buying into that template, we find the early church to be our ideal. Keep Reading

new floor
Author: Randy
Date: 3/9/2008 11:26 pm EDT
I installed an Avaire floor a week ago in my kitchen/dining area and it turned out looking like a professional install. The area was about 175 square feet. The job took 3 days: 1 day to remove a vinyl floor and underlayment in order to match the dining area floor height. It required planing down a 3 X 4 foot area about a quarter inch. After that it was all gravy. The laying and grouting went very well for me. Joe Fuller was invaluable in answering my questions and helped the job go very well. I live very close to Avaire headquarters and Joe came by and answered all my questions when he learned how close I lived to the office. I couldn't be happier with the results.
Thanks for the great service and a great product.

Fresh out of Wrestlemania, WWE bookers traditionally look to create new names, sometimes by bringing in new talent from the farm system or the indies. Recently, a slew of independent talent has been offered WWE contracts. One such talent, a former NWA-TNA star, confidentally lays claims to being "The Future" of WWE.
The recent signing of Frankie "The Future" Kazarian followed a well-documented expiration of his TNA contract in September 2004.
With WWE snapping him up, fans were a bit shocked. Not for the fact that WWE was interested in Kazarian, but because they signed him seemingly out of nowhere. In an interview with SLAM! on February 5th, 2005, Frankie said his goal for the next year was to, "have a healthy career in TNA," but plans changed quickly.
"My contract was up in TNA since last September. I had an offer come my way to work for WWE, and it was an offer I really couldn't pass up. It was something I had to do to further my career," Kazarian told SLAM! Wrestling in late March.
Since his signing, he's been saying his goodbyes, culminating in this past weekend's Pro Wrestling Guerrilla shows in Los Angeles.
On March 26, Kazarian competed for the final time at NWA Cyberspace, teaming with Michael Shane and being accompanied to the ring by Tracy Brooks. After the match was over, the TNA stars who were on hand for the show came out to say farewell to Kazarian. "I'm going to miss my friends," Kazarian said. "I still have a lot of friends in TNA; a lot of guys I have been working with on the Indy scene for the past seven to eight years, I'm gonna miss the camaraderie. I'm gonna stay in touch with them, it's not like I'm dead. I'm just going to meet new faces, it's just going to be the next chapter."
Kazarian, 27, commented on his last teaming with Shane. "It meant a lot. In my humble opinion, with myself, Michael Shane, and Tracy, TNA really dropped the ball on that. I don't think the TNA 'Powers that be' heard the fans reacting," he said. "We could have had great matches with guys like Team Canada. Michael Shane is a great talent, Tracy is a great talent, and the three of us together had good chemistry."
Now that he is moving to WWE, he looks back at past talents who were brought up on the Indy scene, that "made the trip up north" before him. Talents such as, Brian "Spanky" Kendrick and Akio, two men who were signed and pushed to the wayside. "I have to work hard to get put in a position," Kazarian said. "The type of person I am, I won't allow myself to get buried or be a secondary wrestler. I want to succeed. Whatever they have planned for me, I am just going to progress, stay healthy and positive."
Before Kazarian left, he had some parting words for all the fans who have supported him for all these years: "No matter what anyone says, you guys are the reason we do this. I love you all, and continue to support wrestling. We'll see what happens."
Chris Sokol is from Long Island, NY and was delighted to have yet another chance to speak with Frankie Kazarian, and wishes him luck in his future endeavours.

Research Integrity and Compliance
research at boston college
Research integrity is a concept that cannot be fully defined by a short, simple phrase. A recent national report asserts that for the individual researcher it "embodies above all the individual's commitment to intellectual honesty and personal responsibility. It is an aspect of moral character and experience. For an institution, it is a commitment to creating an environment that promotes responsible conduct by embracing standards of excellence, trustworthiness, and lawfulness . . ." Research integrity includes the traditional ideals of honesty, fairness, and compliance with research guidelines and policies, as well as the goal of integrating one's work as a researcher with one's broader life experience and values.
This understanding of research integrity is expressed in the Boston College Principles of Research Integrity, which are intended to be a guide for the Boston College research community.
As an institution, Boston College is committed to the highest standards of research conduct supported by the offices and programs listed below.
Human Research Participant Protection Program
BC faculty, staff, and students are required to submit all research proposals that involve human participants to the BC IRB for review and approval. The IRB reviews research proposals to ensure that the risks and benefits are appropriate and that research participants are fully informed of the research.
Research Compliance
The university's research compliance program provides support and education for faculty members, students, and staff in regulatory requirements for scientific research. The Office for Research Integrity and Compliance (ORIC) has three main responsibilities: research compliance education, oversight, and information clearinghouse.
Technology Transfer and Licensing
This site offers members of the university community tools to further awareness of the issues involved in moving innovative ideas in to the marketplace for the benefit of society. It provides a guide to facilitate the protection of intellectual property, and to avoid pitfalls and potential problems. In addition, potential commercial partners are invited to review current technologies available for licensing.
Responsible Conduct of Research
The Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) Program at Boston College is part of the educational and outreach activities of the Office for Research Integrity and Compliance. Our goal is to develop and make available to the Boston College research community programs and materials that will increase the knowledge of and facilitate the practice of responsible research.
Institutional Animal Care & Use Committee
IACUC oversees and evaluates all aspects of the Boston College's animal care and use program. Find information on the Animal Care Facility's services, facility hours, personnel, Web resources, and training opportunities.
Office of Environmental Health and Safety
Information on biological, chemical and radiation safety, as well as the management of hazardous materials and waste, can be found at this website. In addition to being a comprehensive and valuable resource on those issues, EHS conducts a number of training programs and provides compliance oversight, advice and asisistance. EHS is represented on a number of compliance committees, and it collaborates with the Office for Research Compliance and Intellectual Property Management on such matters as compliance with the federal select agent regulations.

Are you a health care professional or considering a career in the health care industry? Do you provide products or services to a health care organization? If the answer to either of these questions is yes, then it's mandatory that you understand the compliance requirements of HIPAA, and subsequent rules and laws (through March 31, 2014) that affect HIPAA, includingARRA/HITECH, the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Administrative Simplification Compliance Act (ASCA), the Patient Safety and Quality Improvement Act (PSQIA), and the OMNIBUS rules. These laws require all health care professionals to take careful steps to protect protected health information (PHI). But what exactly do all these regulations require?
In this course, we'll demystify the compliance process. We'll focus specifically on the Administrative Simplification portion of HIPAA, starting by defining the lingo of HIPAA, ARRA/HITECH, ASCA, ACA, and the OMNIBUS rules. While we're at it, we'll identify all the important players.
Next, we'll zero in on the Administrative Simplification rules of HIPAA, starting with transactions, code sets, and identifiers, which are all key elements in the HIPAA-mandated electronic health care transmissions.
We'll use real-world examples to help explain the Privacy Rule, which governs patient rights and disclosure of protected health information (PHI), We'll explain what's meant by covered entities (CE), business associates (BA), and many other relationships within the health care industry impacted by HIPAA.
Since computers are an integral part of health care these days, we'll see how they fit into the Security Rule. We'll also examine administrative safeguards, physical safeguards, technical safeguards, and policy and procedure creation—all of which are crucial components of the Security Rule.
Last, but not least, we'll focus on the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), HIPAA's watchdog organization, and learn about the civil and criminal penalties for non-compliance.
By the time you finish this course, you'll be confident and capable of implementing HIPAA's Administrative Simplification rules, and the laws impacting it, in your own organization. If you're just starting your career in the health care field, you'll have a priceless addition to your resume.
Course Revised August 2014
Carline Dalgleish has worked in healthcare administration and education for more than 30 years, starting as a file clerk in the Army/Air Force American Hospital in Nuremberg, Germany on a work-study program. She began her career on the clinical side of healthcare as a licensed vocational nurse (LVN) and emergency medical technician (EMT), but she soon gravitated toward the administrative medical management side—specializing in medical billing and coding, health information management, and HIPAA. She has two bachelor's degrees and a master's degree and is a registered health information administrator (RHIA). She is an AHIMA-approved ICD-10-CM/PCS trainer and the author of several comprehensive ICD-10 training textbooks. She has taught a variety of healthcare administration courses and owns an education services company.

"Wouldn't it be great if I could create and make my own electronic gadgets."
If the above thought has ever crossed your mind, visit Wai Him's booth and experience for yourself how you can translate that dream into reality. It is easy to get the Arduino hardware, download and setup the necessary software on a computer and start tinkering. You could be the next great inventor. Take that 'One small step' and make your way to his booth. It might just turn out to be a 'Giant leap'. (for better or worse…)
About Him
Wai Him is a hobbyist who has been interested in electronics since secondary school. In those days, he built his own electronic gadgets to give his class-mates harmless electric shocks or make simple blinking bulb circuits (flip-flop) out of curiosity.
His other hobbies include building and flying remote-control (RC) aircrafts as well as building and programming robots.
These hobbies involves electrical, electronics and mechanical parts. His work space at home resembles a mini-workshop with tools and parts and lots of drawers.
Coupled with an interest in these 'technology hobbies' and being the father of two sons, he looks for interesting way to share concepts of maths, science and technology with them so that they don't merely see the topics as curriculum that are to be learned in school for passing examinations but as an integral part of daily lives.
He wishes to share, support and promote the Maker movement in the hope that more people will become interested in technology and in turn would be motivated to 'Learn rather than to be Taught'.
His view on The Maker Movement
Advancement in electronics has lead to a reduction in the cost and size of electronic devices. The open source movement and the Maker movement coupled with the internet has resulted in ease, convenience and relative low-cost for the average person to create and make 'stuff' as a hobby.
Unfortunately information overload makes it difficult for the average person, especially those not familiar with electronics, to take the first step in building their own electronic gadget. Wai Him will be showing what is needed to start 'playing' with the Arduino platform from scratch and how to progress to make your own gadgets. He hopes that the presence of the physical items as well as someone to demonstrate and share right in front of your very own eyes would motivate you to start on your own journey of discovery.
A Glimpse of the Possibilities
The Arduino circuit board comes in various shapes and sizes to perform different functions. Some of the Arduino boards are as shown.
The Arduino can be used as the 'brain' of a simple robot like the one shown.
This robot is capable of detecting the presence or absence of a (Black) line and would follow or 'track' the line as it moves forward.
The robot consists of 2 motors for propulsion. It has an LED for emitting light and a light sensor to detect the amount of reflected light.
You could probably think of more tasks for your robot to execute.
This picture shows a 3 x 3 x 3 LED cube. The stand-alone unit when powered up provides many hours of mesmerising non-stop blinking.
You can see the electronic components at the base of the transparent casing. A small battery secured beneath the (black) base powers the unit.
Would this serve as an interesting birthday gift ?
Wai Him is currently working on a 4-digit 7-segment LED display.
This display can be used to show numeric information. It could serve as a clock to show the time or as a calendar to show the date. According to Wai Him, he will be using this as a counter to show the number of 'Likes' his booth gets. But please do not confuse this with the internet version that you are familiar with. In this version, you will have to be physically at the event to activate the 'Like'.
The possibilities are endless. But would you be starting on this journey?
[Note: This write-up was contributed in full by Wai Him himself. Thank you, Wai Him. 🙂 ]

Amazing low-power computersJul 07, 2009
Reading a technology bulletin I found a piece of news without waste. I've read here that DARPA pretends to make supercomputers that can execute 50 GigaFLOPS per watt of power consumed. Any progress in this field is interesting but even more if they arrive to their target power consumption because, for me, it means researching in more power-efficient processors and the consequent improvement in day-to-day power consumption, specially for increasing the battery life of laptops.
