Nuclear Body Protein SP100
1984 Discovered as targets of autoantibodies in patients suffering from the autoimmune disease primary biliary cirrhosis.
1990 After the discovery, the protein was named SP100 (speckled protein of 100 kDa) after forming a 'speckle' shape in the nucleus by using sera from the patients.
1991 Identification of novel nuclear domain as a dot pattern distributed throughtout nucleoplasm. It was located distinctly from kinetochores, centromeres, sites of mRNA processing and tRNA synthesis, nuclear bodies, and chromosomes. [1]
1994 Specific defected protein, "fusion of PML/RARα protein" was recognised to play major role in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) molecular mechanism. This protein contained an antigenic site that was not present in the normal pattern of nucleus and had cytotoxic activity that can distrupt the expression of other PML/RARα protein. [2]
1998 Novel protein motif, the HSR domain, was discovered , within this ND targeting/dimerisation domain.
2001 The fourth splice variant, SP100C was found from an isolated a partial cDNA of human liver.
Overview of SP100 Protein
SP100 protein was first identified as a nuclear autoimmune antigen in the bile duct of patient suffering from autoimmune disease primary biliary cirrhosis. It was named after the weight and shape of 100-kDa Speckled protein.
SP100 is part of the components in the nuclear body. They involve during the immune response by regulating the transcription process. Such work is done in conjunction with PML nuclear bodies whereby PML regulates the transcriptional activity and SP100 work to repress the action. The bodies is also responsible for delivering mRNA across the nucleus. [3]. Interferons (IFNs), a cytokine released during immune response can upregulate the transcription of SP100, especially during the cellular antigen response against virus. This transcription process also plays roles in autoimmunity and oncogenesis [4]. Although the exact function of this protein is not yet clear, it was predicted to involve in the function of ND targeting, nuclear import, nuclear SUMOylation, and protein-protein interaction. [5]
SP100 and nuclear dots
The SP100 autoantigen and promyelocytic leukaemia proteins are often described as part of the components in subnuclear domain that makes nuclear dots (ND) or known as PML-SP100 nuclear bodies (NBs). They range from the size 0.1 to 1.0 mm in nucleoplasm. The disruption of this ubiquitous structures can cause acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and in DNA virus infection whereby the virus encode a protein and distrupt the NBs. SP100 protein and PML are covalently modified by the small ubiquitin-related protein SUMO-1. The modification requires nuclear localisation signal (NLS) and involves some lysine residue.
SP100 is also known to bind and interact with the members of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) families of non-histone chromosomal proteins. This protein present targets for the process of transcription, DNA replication and repair. Combined with one of its splice variants, HMG, SP100-HMG have the DNA-binding potential under a protein family of the high mobility group-1 (HMG-1). When all the three presents, SP100, HP1, and SP100-HMG, they can serve the function of transcriptional activity by attaching to the promotor. This type of SP100 were found to be concentrated within PML/SP100 nuclear bodies. [6].
Splice Variants
As a protein family, Sp100 has subfamilies such as Sp110, Sp140/LYSp100 and the autoimmune regulator protein (AIRE) that share an amino-terminus HSR (homogeneously staining region) domain [7]. SP100 proteins also have different splice variant forms that contain distinct subnuclear localisation areas in PML-SP100 NB components [8]. These splice variants, are the one that could be modified covalently by SUMO-1 as well as conducting the activities at the chromatin level. They are also responsible for the structural integrity of NBs.
There are four different types of splice variants in SP100 :
It contains 480 amino acids - the most abundant form. The A domain includes HSR and HP1. It is the main and exclusive constituent of PML NBs in the form of autoantigen. It can stimulate transcription activation by ETS-1 and inhibits the process by Bright (B cell regulator of immunoglobulin heavy chain transcription) depending which protein they begin to interact with[9].
the large variant, contains extra functional domains such as a SAND domain and a HMG box processing a DNA-binding domain that can affect chromatin structure [10].
SP100B, a binding domain required during gene repression, especially during viral infections. It is only found during cell stress and after it interacts with an interferon. With the addition of SAND and high mobility group (HMG) interaction domain that serve as a DNA binding domain. It can then regulate transcription from chromosomal genes such as AIRE-1 (autoimmune regulator 1) and NUDR (nuclear DEAF-1 related). In a study done by Wilcox, et.al (2005) [11], it was shown that SP100B plays roles during the repression from an activated promoter and represses basal promoter activity by inhibiting the transactivation of ICP4, hence repressing both promoters. The required domains for repression were predicted to lie on the C-terminal of B domain that contains HMG and SAND expression that interact with HP1 domain.
a novel splice variant that is homology to chromatin-associated factors. It contains distinct domain consisting of PHD finger-bromodomain motif. The splice variants have differences in the domain compositions in carboxy termini yet all the four contain the same pattern in the amino-terminal domain. It has been speculated that this occurs so that they can carry on their functions separately, such as directing SP100 proteins at the NBs by N-terminal alone.
Current Research
A study done by Zhong (2007) shows that overexpression of SP100 protein is known to suppress alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT), a condition whereby telomerase of immortalised human cells are maintained. SP100 and segregated MRE11/RAD50/NBS1 (MRN) form recombination protein complex, especially NBS1, that is required for ALT activition. Many factors could decrease the amount of MRN complex found in ALT cells and may result in inhibition of ALT-mediated telomere process. This evidence has been seen in ALT-associated promyelocytic leukemia bodies and decreased telomere length. [12]
SP100 protein exact mechanism remains elusive. This will require more research in the future since the protein has versatile profiles that often can lead to the formation of human disease such as promyelocytic leukemia.

Analysis: Why this surge of VC funding is different
SEATTLE — With companies and governments spending billions to repel cyberthreats, a surge of venture capital has begun pouring into companies developing cybersecurity technologies.
"Cyber is the front line of the conflict, and there is a tremendous need for solutions which secure the digital frontier," says Bob Ackerman, managing director of Allegis Capital.
The $12 million funding boost announced Thursday by PerspecSys, a McLean, Va.-based cloud-security and data protection firm, adds to the feverish pitch.
And the successful initial public offering of Palo Alto Networks fans the flames. The Silicon Valley firewall supplier went public last July at $42 per share and has been recently trading at about $50 per share, for a market capitalization of $3.5 billion.
Palo Alto recently crossed the 1,000 employee milestone and has about 11,000 customers in more than 100 countries; it had 650 employees and 7,750 customers when it went public 11 months ago. This fall the company will move into a new 300,000-plus square foot campus, triple the size of its current home.
Elsewhere over the past 12 months, huge infusions of cash have gone to a wide array of tech security vendors: Cylance, $15 million; FireEye, $50 million; Endgame, $23 million; AnchorFree, $50 million; Bit9, $35 million; Bromium, $27 million; CipherCloud, $30 million; Nok Nok Labs, $15 million; Veracode $30 million.
The pattern brings to mind the wild-eyed dice-rolling on dot-com companies in the late 1990s, and the big bets placed on social media and cloud computing start-ups of every stripe from the mid-2000s forward.
But this investment wave is much different, venture capitalists say. Amazon, Google, Facebook and other successful Internet services companies emerged as big winners from previous surges, which were about innovations to spur new consumer and worker behaviors. Their successes helped change the way we live by driving valuable personal and business data into the Internet cloud.
However, the Internet's roots trace back to a military/academic experiment in anonymous, distributed communications. The Web was never intended as reliable infrastructure for secure global transactions. Pushing commerce online created a candy store for data thieves and cyberspies.
The rapid rise of the cyberunderground has, in turn, translated into a huge potential liability, spawning demand for innovative security defenses. "It's hard to imagine the stakes being much higher," Ackerman says.
No surprise, then, that global demand for information security technology is growing at a robust 9% compounded annually, says Gartner research director Lawrence Pingree.
By 2016, Gartner anticipates that global spending on information security systems will soar to $85 billion, up from an estimated $65.7 billion this year.
"We all have our personal information stored in different computer systems," says David Canellos, PerspecSys CEO. "Interest in securing all that information is catching up now because people see how vulnerable the systems are to theft of data."
Canellos draws the analogy of buying an expensive sports car with the best-available factory-installed alarm, then parking it overnight in a sketchy neighborhood. "Now everyone is looking at ways to improve the security system, or even build a garage around the car," Canellos says.
The problem actually is highly complex, says Ackerman. In the U.S., private industry and the federal government can't come to agreement on how best to share intelligence on attacks. Meanwhile, intellectual property is being pilfered on a vast scale, and the nation's infrastructure has been shown to be exposed to cyberattacks
If that weren't enough, individuals' privacy and safety face troubling new risks, as social media and mobile devices extend Internet commerce deeper into our daily lives. New risks also threaten businesses of all sizes, as illustrated by the recent incident of a faked Associated Press Twitter posting causing the stock market to crater, says Mark Fernandes, managing director at Sierra Ventures.
"The cybersecurity battle is being fought on multiple fronts," Fernandes says. "A new threat vector is emerging in social media, where the security bar is considerably lower. The financial-gain side of social media hacks is probably just starting."
Shlomo Kramer, CEO of database security firm Imperva, co-founded firewall pioneer Check Point Software Technologies, and has invested seed capital in a half dozen security start-ups.
At the start of this century, criminal hackers were mostly naive and ego-driven, Kramer says. Today, they are laser-focused on scams to efficiently churn quick criminal profits and on stealing data or wreaking havoc to meet political and military agendas, he says.
"Security is horizontal; it covers all IT infrastructure. The result is that the security industry is much more fragmented, with many more start-ups than other industries," Kramer observes. "Another thing is that the bad guys continually innovate. So there is a greater need for constant innovation on the security side, and, hence, much more need for investment capital."

Austin Wrap-Up
The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) wrapped up another informative and inspiring Independent Inventors Conference over the weekend of September 14-15. The intellectual property experts from USPTO headquarters traveled to Austin, Texas, for the Texas Regional Independent Inventors Conference. Austin, traditionally known as the "live music capital of the world," has earned a new nickname for its developing reputation as an innovation powerhouse: "Silicon Hills."
Held on the campus of the University of Texas at Austin (UT) with beautiful Texas Hill Country as a backdrop, USPTO Deputy Commissioner for Patent Administration Bruce Kisliuk opened the event with an overview of patent office resources before yielding the floor to a lineup of guest speakers. Crowd favorites included CEO of Luxe Brands Inc. Geneva Grainger and the authors and inventors of Ghostline, sisters Barbara Pitts and Mary Sarao. Patent and Trademark Resource Center at UT head librarian Susan Ardis, Director of the Austin U.S. Export Assistance Center Karen Parker, and the Texas Manufacturing Assistance Center's B.J. Fontaine provided advice in a special panel discussing available local resources.
Breakout sessions covered ever-important topics such as claim drafting, obviousness and trademark applications, while a special session discussed how ongoing changes to patent law under the America Invents Act affect independent inventors and entrepreneurs. Distinguished inventor and UT professor Robert Metcalfe gave the keynote address on Saturday afternoon. Metcalfe, a recipient of the National Medal of Technology, is a co-inventor of Ethernet and co-founder of 3Com Corp.
In addition to the presentations and breakout sessions, attendees benefited from a networking reception and special one-on-one sessions with the experts of their choice, where they were able to get answers to specific questions about patents and trademarks in a confidential manner.
At the end of the weekend, the USPTO was sad to say goodbye to Austin and the Lone Star State, but we're happy to know that Austin is in good hands with so many innovators and business leaders.
See what attendees had to say about the event:
"The best investment towards my goal of completing my patent! Thank you."
"After attending this conference, I feel better equipped to navigate the USPTO website. . . . The presenters were very knowledgeable about the subject matter, not to mention they had the ability to explain it so that anyone could understand it."
"The guest and independent inventor speakers were outstanding. I was inspired by their talks. As an engineer who has designed Ethernet controller chips, I was awed to get to hear Bob Metcalfe speak."
"An excellent conference-probably the best and most-pragmatic one I've ever attended in 30 years of attending conferences and workshops!"

Ford and GM rev up after earningsOctober 31, 2012: 1:12 PM ET
Ford and GM rallied Wednesday after both automakers topped third-quarter earnings forecasts, despite soaring losses in Europe.
Shares of Ford (F) climbed more than 5%, as the company's record profit of $2.3 billion in North America helped offset its $468 million loss in Europe, bringing losses in Europe so far this year to just over $1 billion.
Meanwhile, General Motors (GM), the largest U.S. automaker, reported a third-quarter profit that trounced analysts' estimates. Though profits fell sharply in Europe and North America for GM, its international unit, which includes operations in China, improved. In fact, GM once again sold more cars and trucks in China than in the United States in the period.
StockTwits traders remain fairly bullish on the Detroit automakers even though Europe remains a mess.
TwoSmuth: Any head count reductions in Europe = bullish RT @Opinterest: $GM Announces 2,600 Headcount Reduction in Europe // #ratsfleesinkingships
In an effort to stem the losses in Europe, Ford said it would close three plants and cut 6,200 jobs Europe by 2014. But it also warned it would not be profitable there until the middle of the decade.
ToddSullivan: GM, Ford say sales will be pinched http://t.co/g2HaYR5y IMO in Q4 yes....but lots of cars wrecked for Q1/2 buys $F $GM
ValueOnly: $F's earnings are great despite Europe. Market has yet to notice Ford's earnings generate zero cash taxes. Great cash flow, momentum. Bullish
Even hedge fund manager Doug Kass, known for successful short selling ideas, is bullish on Ford and GM.
DougKass: My largest ind. exposure is in the carmakers - F and GM. 3Q EPS (especially domestic profits) reported yesterday and today support thesis. $F
DRLamar: Euro profit mid decade = brand, product & operating efficiencies. BELIEVE! US snappin up F trucks. Warriors need horses $F That was corny.

Fancy putting down a wager on the Kentucky Derby, airing live on NBC Saturday, but don't want to look like a novice when you place your bet?
For all you inexperienced bettors out there, here's a quick guide to betting on the Kentucky Derby that'll have you sounding like a serious handicapper by the time Justify, Vino Rosso and Audible approach the starting gate.
Odds-on many racing newcomers may not know what the odds actually mean. Whenever there are two numbers (e.g., 16:1 for Vino Rosso at time of writing according to VegasInsider.com) displayed on a tote board at a racetrack or on a list of wager options, the first number (16) denotes the minimum amount of profit the wager will pay. The second number (1) is the amount you need to wager to win the first amount.
Once the final finishing places of a race are official, the track will post the prices of the winning wagers. In the above example, the horse will pay $16. The track will then add the $16 profit and the $1 wager together to derive the payout: $16 + $1 = $17. Lone Sailor at 50:1 would therefore pay $51 on a $1 bet.
If a horse is quoted with only a single number, it is implied that the missing second number is a 1. In other words, a 7 on the tote board means 7:1. So if you made a $2 wager, a bet on a horse with 7:1 odds would pay $16. That's because 7:1 is the same as 14:2, so $14 + $2 = $16. (In betting on horse races, payouts are generally based on a $2 wager.)
Now that the odds makes sense, it's time to decide the type of wager you want to make. Here are some of the most popular bets:
Win Your horse must finish first to collect.
Place Your horse must finish first or second to collect.
Show Your horse must finish first, second or third to collect.
Exacta You play two horses, and they must come in first and second in the exact order specified in order to collect.
Exacta Box You play two horses, as above, but here they must come in first and second in either order to collect.
Trifecta You play three horses, and to win, they must come in first, second and third in exact order to collect.
Trifecta Box You play three horses, and they must finish first, second and third in any order to collect.
Superfecta You play four horses, and they must come in first, second, third and fourth in exact order.
Superfecta Box You play four horses, and to win they must finish first, second, third and fourth in any order.
But novice bettors need to take into account more than just the odds for the Kentucky Derby. To further boost your chances of making a winning bet on May 5, you should also consider the following:
Distance: The Kentucky Derby is run over a distance of a mile and a quarter. Few three-year-olds will have had prior experience in such a long race. Some horses are 'bred to distance' and are usually a better candidate than one without a lineage of success at long races that put a premium on endurance.
Schedule: One of the most significant reasons that winning the Triple Crown is such a rare event is the grueling schedule of the three races. While the ideal layoff between races varies from horse to horse, most high level equine competitors race fewer than 10 times per year. In most cases, thoroughbreds seldom race without a break of three weeks to a month. For a Triple Crown aspirant, however, it's necessary to win three very competitive races in a five-week span. In recent years there has been a trend away from horses running in all three legs unless they're in contention for the Triple Crown. For this reason, it's worth giving special consideration to 'rested' horses.
Weather/Track Condition: If there is a chance for bad weather and/or an off track it's essential to consider that when handicapping the race. One good measure of a horse's ability in this type of race can be found with a quick look at past performances. If a young horse has any experience on a muddy or sloppy track that's a good indication that his connections have confidence in his abilities in these circumstances.
Coverage of the 2018 Kentucky Derby will air live Saturday, May 5 starting at 2:30 p.m. ET on NBC.

"Come, Follow Me," New Era, Mar. 2013, 32
Come, Follow Me
Faith in the Atonement
This month, your Sunday lessons will focus on the Atonement (see lds.org/youth/learn). As you study this topic, you'll find several talks from the October 2012 general conference that remind us we must have faith in Christ's Atonement.
For example, President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, gave an address titled "The Atonement." Read what he reminded us about how the Atonement allows us to repent in the quote at right, and then read his entire talk at conference.lds.org.
If you will turn away from sin, you will be able one day to know the peace that comes from following the pathway of complete repentance.
No matter what our transgressions have been, no matter how much our actions may have hurt others, that guilt can all be wiped out.
President Boyd K. Packer, President of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles, October 2012 general conference
Principles of the Atonement to Increase Our Faith in Christ
In "Is Faith in the Atonement of Jesus Christ Written in Our Hearts?" Sister Linda K. Burton, Relief Society general president, shared the story of a woman who fell into a pit too deep to climb out of. She was saved when a person came and lowered a ladder to help her return to higher ground. Sister Burton said, "Jesus Christ's Atonement could be compared to lowering a ladder into the pit." Read more of her analogy online at conference.lds.org. You'll also be able to read more about the three principles of the Atonement in the list at left.
Three principles of the Atonement that … will increase our faith in Jesus Christ:
1. All that is unfair about life can be made right through the Atonement of Jesus Christ.
2. There is power in the Atonement to enable us to overcome the natural man or woman and become true disciples of Jesus Christ.
3. The Atonement is the greatest evidence we have of the Father's love for His children.
Linda K. Burton, Relief Society general president, September 2012 general Relief Society meeting

Happy Pride weekend, everyone!

Grilling tonight
I like my grill and I'm a picky snob about it. I have a simple Weber grill that uses real charcoal. Gas grills are just not real grilling as far as I'm concerned; if you need to add all manner of accoutrements to get "real charcoal flavor," yur doin it rong. Oddly enough, you get real charcoal flavor from real charcoal. Wet wood, smoke chips, special rocks, blah, blah, blah. You're not doing anything I can't do with a broiler in my oven.
But, just not any charcoal will do. Use real wood charcoal like Royal Oak, Cowboy, or any other stuff that actually is recognizable as wood when you open the bag. If there's a logo on your briquettes, again, yur doin it rong. Kingsford pastes spent wood palettes together and you can taste the nasty chemicals of both the wood and the process to make the briquettes themselves. DON'T USE THEM. Ick. Really.
To start the coals, I use a chimney starter (actually it's a #10 can from a restaurant with the top and bottoms cut off) stuffed with 2 sheets of newspaper and filled with good charcoal. It can be a sort of pain to light, but you can avoid the second great sin of most barbequers -- lighter fluid. Would you take a drink of it? A long, deep breath of it? No? Then why are you allowing it to "flavor" your food? I look forward to the day when this stuff is outlawed and even the simplest burgers and dogs are freed from the stench of petrochemicals. Of course, I imagine those that can't wait the 15 minutes for the chimney to do its work will just use gas, but they'll end up killing themselves off soon enough...
Real wood charcoal burns faster and you may need to use more of them for a long spell for larger items and they also tend to cost more than briquettes, so look for deals in places like Menard's or Home Depot and purchase a couple bags when they're on sale. Real wood charcoal has the advantage of burning hotter than regular briquettes, so you don't necessarily need more at the beginning, but you'll have to add them with a bigger cut. This is truly an advantage when using indirect heat because the smoke flavors will fill your grill and your meat will benefit from the extended exposure. You'll get that great pink layer of smokey taste without having to resort to the messy nonsense of soaking wood chips or other silly tricks.
There are two basic ways of controlling the heat of your grill; amount of coal burning at one time and the amount of air that you allow in the grill. Carburation is a more of an art than a science as each grill, the contents and the desired effects vary with each grilling session. The basic rule of air flow is the more the air vents are opened, the hotter and less smokey the fire will burn. If you start to close the vents, the more smoke you'll get and the cooler the fire will burn. The position of the vents also matter as the smoke will drift in the direction of the upper vent.
But don't think that you have to only cook animals on the grill, smokey asparagus, peppers and onions, potatoes, sweet potatoes and other roots take on the smoke also. You can cook whole roots (potatoes, parsnips, turnips, beets and carrots) for about 40 minutes, onion halves (this keeps them from falling through the grill) and peppers for 20 minutes and romaine lettuce drizzled with olive oil for about 7 minutes and served with bleu cheese and olives as a salad.
A couple of examples of heat control:
- Cooking tuna steaks - I like mine hot outside and raw inside, so a big pile of coals with the lid off is the way I typically do them. 5 minutes or less a side.
- A large (+4 pounds) cut of meat - I recently did a bone-in leg of lamb on the grill with two small piles of coals pushed to the sides so the meat is not directly heated. I placed the grill's top vent in line with the leg and left it open about 50% and added a couple of coals every 30 minutes until the leg's temperature was about 130F (nearly 3 hours for this one) and then took it off and let it set to come to 140-145F the perfect rare/medium rare for lamb.
- Potatoes (sweet and regular), beets, carrots and parsnips benefit from indirect heat also, but you can build a regular pile in the center and then put the spuds towards the edge of the grill and put the vent over them half open to draw the smoke and heat without burning the skins. Make sure to roll them every 15-20 minutes to prevent burning.
- Burgers can go either way depending on if you want a nice rare char (use direct heat with no lid) of if you want a nice smokey flavor (really nice for cheeseburgers - cook 'em like the beets, and spuds mentioned above).

Introduction / HistoryAs he watched the Tarkhan men laboring over the construction of the new building, Daiwik felt helpless. Though he was skilled with tools, he was not skilled with words. He wondered how he would he tell his family and friends that he had chosen to follow Jesus.
Like every other Sikh, Daiwik had been brought up to believe in reincarnation. Although he hadn't questioned it as a boy, when he reached adulthood, he realized how hopeless reincarnation was. When someone told him about a risen savior providing a way out of the hopelessness, Daiwik listened. The message made sense. He decided to ask God for forgiveness and for the gift of eternal life. He made Jesus his Lord.
But now, faced with telling his father, his brothers, and the friends he had known since childhood, he was fearful. Would they listen to him? Or would they chase him away? Still watching the men work, Daiwik prayed for wisdom. Suddenly he had an idea. He had read in the Bible that Jesus was a carpenter before He began His ministry. Perhaps he could somehow use this fact to introduce his carpenter caste people, the Tarkhans, to Jesus.
Prayer Points* Pray for the good news to be clearly made known to the Tarkhan people.
* Pray for those who respond to be used by God to tell their friends and families about the salvation available in the carpenter who became the risen Lord and king.

We were born in 1975, which meant that as a small child AMC's then- current lineup seemed interesting and futuristic to us. We also remember thinking Porsche 914s were strange-looking, yet kind of cool. Now generally remembered as the nadir of automotive design (along with the Vega, Pinto and Aspen/Volar twins), we still have a lingering affection for the '70s AMC products. Except for the Matador. Not even James Bond could make the Matador cool.

Bloomberg Law introduced a new and updated version of their platform last week. The new web site gives more information than the old site, but a new user would still need to contact sales for a demonstration. However, much more information is available in Jean O'Grady's new blog post complete with screenshots.
I'm still trying to figure out what the Bloomberg Law strategy is, and where they see themselves in the future, but in the meantime, it seems that the product has much to offer.

On an undisclosed date in 1996, deemed by some as Science's Finest Hour, Milo hung up his lab coat and the Descendents began work on a new LP. Produced by Bill and Stephen at the band's own studio in Ft. Collins, CO (aptly dubbed The Blasting Room), "Everything Sucks" picks up EXACTLY where the Descendents left off. The tracks "Everything Sucks," "This Place," and "Coffee Mug" are classic Descendents, raging along at the speed of sound, while "I'm the One", "Sick-O-Me," and "She Loves Me" are anthems of the "girl-song" milieu.

Talk:C-band Receiver Station
I found about about UNITEC-1 via Southgate ARC. Interesting but there seemed to be long time until launch (20 May maybe).
Discussed the UNITEC-1 tracking with Scott OZ2ABA. We are considering and we will look for LNCs.
Kuhne has several LNCs for the 5.8 GHz band that cover the whole band from 5.6 to 5.9 GHz:
- KU LNC 5659 C PRO converts down to 400-700 MHz
- MKU LNC 57-3 converts down to 1.4-1.7 GHz
The first option is probably better due to lower cable losses – we have about 40 meters cable from the antenna feed to the control room.
Email from Mineo Wakita JE9PEL on AMSAT BB noting that the PLANET-C and UNITEC-1 launch date is now set for 17 May 2010 21:44:14 UTC. Time to get C-band gear ready!
Official kick-off. At the AMSAT OZ meeting today we agreed to proceed with the project and to inquire about the KU LNC 5659 C PRO downconverter. The LNC will be the property of AMSAT OZ. Using the 400-700 MHz version of the LNC we can use the existing cable going between the tower and the control room. First we try without any buffer amp between the LNC and receiver.
Sent inquiry to Kuhne.

Geriatric Psychiatry Fellowship
The University of Pennsylvania offers three distinct geriatric psychiatry fellowship tracks, designed to prepare trainees for careers as clinicians, clinician-educators, or clinical researchers. Our goal is to train the next generation of leaders in geriatric psychiatry.
Our one-year ACGME-accredited clinical fellowship program trains psychiatrists to provide skilled and comprehensive care and function as effective consultants in the subspecialty of geriatric psychiatry. To accomplish these goals, the fellowship entails: (1) supervised clinical training in interdisciplinary inpatient, outpatient, long-term care and home care settings; (2) a didactic curriculum; (3) supervised participation in funded clinical research projects in mental health and aging; and (4) experience in teaching students and other health professionals. These elements of training emphasize scholarship and self-instruction; application of biopsychosocial concepts; a collaborative, interdisciplinary approach to assessment and management; critical analysis of clinical problems; evidence-based clinical decision-making; and leadership in educating other health professionals. Our Geriatric Psychiatry Section has a longstanding collaborative relationship with the Division of Geriatric Medicine, and our geriatric psychiatry fellows benefit from working closely with geriatric medicine fellows and faculty. The one-year clinical fellowship leads to eligibility to take the ABPN subspecialty certification examination in geriatric psychiatry.
Applicants who plan to pursue academic careers as clinician-educators are encouraged to apply for our two-year fellowship program, supported by the Bureau of Health Professions, Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA). The first year of this academic-clinician program provides the clinical training required for ABPN certification in geriatric psychiatry as described above, plus an interdisciplinary core didactic curriculum in aging in which geriatric psychiatry fellows participate in seminars and workshops with fellows in geriatric medicine and geriatric oral medicine. The second year of this program is dedicated to advanced training in educational methods and research, clinical or health services research, and/or administrative aspects of geriatric health care and education. The second year curriculum is customized for each trainee to develop the skills needed to meet his or her specific career goals, with an emphasis on building leadership skills. Tuition benefits enable fellows to take related coursework at Penn, including biostatics and epidemiology (Perelman School of Medicine) or health care economics (Wharton School of Business).
Individuals who choose to pursue academic careers as independent researchers may apply for a 2-3 year research fellowship, funded by the National Institute for Mental Health (NIMH). The training opportunities within this program focus on mental health and aging, and span the breadth of intervention research, ranging from randomized clinical trials/efficacy studies through effectiveness studies to practice and services research. All fellows participate in the University's Patient Oriented Research Training core, and training in ethical conduct of research. MD's without prior formal research training participate in the masters degree program in Clinical Epidemiology (MSCE).
All clinical fellows must have completed a four-year accredited residency in general psychiatry, and must be eligible for an unrestricted PA medical license. Research fellows may be physicians, or postdoctoral trainees in other disciplines, such as psychology or nursing. The one-year clinical fellowship is open to applicants on J-1 and H-1 visas. The HRSA- and NIMH-funded programs are U.S. Government sponsored fellowships, and are only open to U.S. citizens and permanent residents.
The University of Pennsylvania is an Affirmative Action/Equal Opportunity Employer and welcomes applications from women and minority candidates.
All applicants must have satisfactorily completed four years of an ACGME-accredited residency in general psychiatry prior to entering the program.
All applicants must be eligible for an unrestricted medical license in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania at the time they enter the program.
With the application, please attach the following information:
- A completed application form (click here to download)
- A copy of your Curriculum Vitae
- A personal statement explaining your interest in geriatric psychiatry, summarizing your career objectives, and indicating how a fellowship will help you achieve those objectives (one page)
- Two current Letters of Recommendation
- Summative Evaluation from your Residency Training Director
- Dean's Letter & Medical School Transcripts
- USMLE Scores (Steps 1, 2, & 3)
If you are an International medical graduate, we accept the J1 and H1B Visas and you will need your ECFMG Certification.
Please submit all materials to the address below. Faxed copies of application materials are acceptable.

GTA 5 remains a possibility for Xbox One and PS4, but the current focus remains on getting the current-gen version into stores, Rockstar Games has said.
Asked how Rockstar will handle the gamer transition from current to next-gen platforms, Benzie said: "We already have plans for what the next world holds in terms of missions, new content, clothes, apartments, for the next while. But we really want to see what people are playing, and we're putting a lot of effort into the back end, so we can keep an eye on exactly how long people are spending in deathmatches, races, and all the other modes - just to see what they're doing. And if we see any peaks anywhere, then we know where to concentrate our efforts.
"There's not a lot of data out there for us. There's very few games like GTA Online - so we'll play it by ear and see what the consumers want."
Asked again about next-gen, he added: "We'll get the current gen version out first and see what happens in the future."
And if you are picking up a current-gen version, Benzie says there's nothing between the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions.
"This is probably the first game we've done where both platforms have been running in parallel," he explained. "There's very, very little difference in the development state of them both. They're both very similar. It would be hard to tell them apart."
GTA 5 will be released September 17, followed by GTA Online on October 1.

Razing Main: Capshaw fells Peyton's place
An early West Main street auto dealership now part of band manager Coran Capshaw's voluminous holdings began its crumble into oblivion on Thursday, August 26.
"The building is magnificent," says fellow real estate mogul Gabe Silverman. "It's a beautiful building, under the skin."
That 1960s or 1970s skin– marked with the likeness of 1980s TV dad Bob Saget (in a delightfully absurd graffiti episode)– was peeled away late last week by employees of Richmond demolition company S.B. Cox Inc., which began by removing glass and siding to create giant holes in the building at the corner of Ninth and West Main.
"Once we get some equipment there, it won't take but a couple of weeks," said a company representative on the second day of demolition. At press time, echoing jackhammers and bulldozers were creating a dusty haze stretching from the Big Mouth pizzeria to the Shear Power salon across the street.
All of this comes as no surprise to Paul Perry, who works at nearby C&R Auto Service. "There have been plenty of people wanting to build on it," says Perry, "but they had the structure checked, and the structure was weak. They've been working on it slowly– they had to remove some asbestos," he says.
And as for Capshaw's plans? "He was planning to go on up with it," says Perry, looking skyward.
The road to demolition has been long and winding. Back in 1996, while in the process of designating mile-long West Main a historic district, the City studied each building.
"I would have preferred not to see it demolished," says Joan Fenton, chair of the Board of Architectural Review, which in a report lauded the early auto dealership's sleek lines of concrete and steel.
"Council had final authority," says former city councilor David Toscano, "and Council decided, given the fabric of the street, that a building like that is not historic, and just is not contributing to the historic character of the street."
According to City tax records, the Main Street showroom was built in 1924. Around back, the garage-like service bay– with its distinctive spiral ramp– was added in 1958. Dealership owner Bradley Peyton died in 1998.
"I think the building was pretty obsolete," says Harry Tenney, who managed Peyton Pontiac until the mid-1980s, when the Colonial Auto Group purchased the dealership.
"It was in the central part of what was then the commercial center of the town," Tenney recalls. "Albemarle County hadn't even begun to develop, so it was pretty much a central location."
It wasn't all happy tailfins and chrome. The nearby railroad crossing along the Ninth Street side frequently caused traffic jams, and Tenney considered it an eyesore.
"It was difficult to heat, and it was difficult to cool," he says. "And it leaked like a sieve," he adds. "I don't think [Capshaw] could really do much with that building."
In its final years, the structure served as home to an auto upholstery business, but it spent its 21st century days serving as little more than storage space. In the year 2000, after scolding his first Jeffersonian design, the Board of Architectural Review smiled on a renovation presentation by architect Raymond Gaines that accentuated the commercial history of the structure.
Capshaw, who purchased the property for $1.67 million in late 2002, did not respond to calls by press time. But Toscano says he recalls Capshaw presenting plans for yet another mixed-use development, with underground parking, streetscape retail, and residential units. Whether those plans are still in the works is not clear.
"I'm just glad that something's going to be done with the property," says Tenney, "and hopefully it will be something that will be attractive and pleasant for the community."–with additional reporting by Hawes Spencer and Courteney Stuart

Amanda Meikle is used to bad weather.
A five-year resident of the Calgary neighbourhood of Temple, Meikle says huge snowfalls are common in the northeast community.
But after two weeks of blizzards, she's fed up with the snow and how the city is handling it.
"This snowfall has been the worst that we've had so far," she said. "A lack of response has made it this bad."
After two large snowstorms buried the city earlier this month, only the main roads and bus routes were cleared, with the rest of the community left to dig itself out.
Meikle and her husband were able to avoid getting stuck in the snow thanks to their truck, and they've been trying to help others.
"We're pulling people out in trucks, pulling people out in cars," she said.
Another heavy snowfall on Sunday night has renewed questions about the city's snow and ice control practices.
Ward 5 Councillor Ray Jones said he and Ward 3 Coun. Jim Stevenson received more than 2,000 phone calls and emails about the snow since the first blizzard on Dec. 2.
Jones, whose northeast Ward 5 includes Martindale, said he got stuck twice trying to tour his area Sunday. Martindale and Taradale received several centimetres of snow Sunday night.
"They've had little to no removal other than the priority one and twos," Jones said Monday. "Some of the back roads are really bad."
Jones wondered if the city should allocate more money and resources to snow removal to deal with the larger snowfalls.
The city has about 450 operations staff working in snow and ice control and about 125 pieces of equipment including graders, snow plows and snow blowers. Mac Logan, the city's general manager of transportation said crews have been working at full capacity since the first blizzard.
The city also hires out contracted pieces of equipment to deal with larger snowfalls.
Between Dec. 2 and Dec. 13 the city deployed on average 26 extra pieces of contracted equipment per day to tackle the snow.
It was more efficient to use contractors during one-time snowfalls, rather than budgeting for them year-round, Logan said.
City council increased the snow and ice control budget by $10 million in 2011. There is also a reserve fund available to deal with severe snow events.
Mayor Naheed Nenshi said the city needed to better manage the plowing of residential streets. Calgary's current snow removal practices were inflexible, he said.
According to the city's snow and ice control policy, residential roads that have more than 12 centimetres of snow will be plowed, but only after the priority 1 through 4 roads are completed.
"We have to start working on really impassable areas prior to completing priority two roads across the whole city," he said.
Logan said the roads department would look back on the last two weeks and to see how to improve the city's response.
After an in-private council session, Logan pledged to come up later this winter with new strategies for coping with major snowstorms.
The city may take cues from how it responded during the flood.
"We need to learn from this event, do a post-mortem on it and come forward with a plan on how we'll better respond the next time it happens," Logan said.
The snowdrifts in the northeast have also caused problems for the city's waste and recycling services.
Residents of Martindale, Martha's Haven, Taradale, Taralake, Saddleridge and Saddlelake are being asked to move their black and blue bins to the front curbs for collection on Tuesday if their back lanes are impassable.

EPA issues complaint to Concorde Garment Manufacturing, Inc., for hazardous waste management violations
Release Date: 11/06/2007
Contact Information: Dean Higuchi, 808-541-2711, firstname.lastname@example.com
(11/06/07) HONOLULU – The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recently filed a complaint requiring Concorde Garment Manufacturing, Inc. to pay up to $27,500 per day per violation for improper storage and handling of paint thinner and solvents at its Lower Base facility in Saipan.
The company failed to comply with hazardous waste management regulations requiring facilities to properly manage and dispose of hazardous wastes.
"All facilities that handle used solvents must properly contain, manage, and dispose of their wastes. Failure to do so jeopardizes the safety of the community, workers, and the environment," said Nancy Lindsay, acting Waste Division director for the EPA's Pacific Southwest region. "In this case, the company decided to ignore the rules."
In March 2004, EPA inspectors discovered 15 to 20 large plastic trash bags filled with open and leaking containers of solvents outside the facility. The company violated the EPA's spill prevention rules by storing used solvents and solvent-soaked rags in open and leaking containers.
The company did not mark containers of spent solvents and stored hazardous wastes without a permit. In addition, it failed to train employees to properly handle and manage the facility's hazardous waste.
The inspectors also found that Concorde failed to make required hazardous waste determinations, and violated other regulations governing hazardous waste management.
Concorde Garment, a subsidiary of Tan Holdings Company, produced clothing at its Lower Base factory from 1983 until 2006.
The EPA's hazardous waste rules require facilities to properly store, label and seal hazardous waste containers. Facilities must also have an EPA hazardous waste generator ID number and properly trained staff, as improperly stored hazardous waste can potentially spill and pose a risk to workers and the environment. The hazardous waste must be properly disposed of and transported with an EPA hazardous waste shipping manifest.

Business Lessons from the Ice Rink
by SMD
I was sitting here thinking about a couple new business ideas and listening to my favorite hockey team on the radio. Between periods there was an interview with the general manager and the interviewer asked him what the best lesson or advice that he ever he ever received for running a hockey team.
I found his answer interesting and relevant to any business. He said the best advice related to making trades [the most pressure packed part of a general manager's job].
When making a trade always look for a 3 or 4% improvement in your team or even at one position, if you try for anything more than that you're playing Russian roulette.
He went on to say that of course, a single trade can get you a 20 or 30 or 50% improvement or even win you the stanley cup, but looking for those returns will not put you in the best frame of mind for improving your team.
I remember when I was in the picture framing business; I used to make all the traditional photo frame colors. A couple customers asked me to make some "brighter" colors…personally I didn't like them, but I wanted the extra sales so I made the colorful frames and eventually my business exploded as the style of photo frames shifted en masse.
The moral is that looking for ways to become and instant success or to get rich quick, will often waste your energy and lead you down the wrong road, where finding one thing you enjoy and applying consistent effort with an eye to incremental improvement can take you far!

After Houston's 2-1 win over the Chicago Fire, the Dynamo now hold the longest unbeaten home streak in MLS with 35 games in all competitions and the No. 3 spot in this week's power rankings by MLSsoccer.com. Here is what MLSsoccer.com had to say about the unbeaten streak:
There was very little doubt that they'd make it 35 unbeaten at home last weekend, right? That's the sign of a consistently professional team – both the length of the streak itself, and the almost "ho-hum" acceptance that they'd get it done.
Houston's next rival, Toronto FC moved up a couple spots to No. 15 after their 1-1 tie with the Philadelphia Union. This was MLSsoccer.com's take on Toronto:
Robert Earnshaw's ability to find goals out of nothing has kept Toronto in the hunt despite the fact that – honestly now – they're being outplayed week after week. And goalkeeper Joe Bendik has been an absolute revelation.
Meanwhile, Bleacher Report's Joe Tansey has the Dynamo tie at No.2 alongside Sporting Kansas City. On the flip side, goal.com had Houston No.4, while Sports illustrated's Avi Creditor has the Dynamo at No. 5 on his power rankings.
Now that the home unbeaten streak is history, the Houston Dynamo travel to Toronto in search of their first road points of the season, when they play Toronto FC on Saturday at BMO Field at 3 p.m.

We've All Been There: The Unexpected Kindness of Others
We've All Been There is an acclaimed, inspiring short film directed by Australian filmmaker Nicholas Clifford, which just won top honors at Tropfest Australia 2013, the world's biggest short-film festival. In the film, a struggling young waitress has to come up with $800 immediately or lose her house, while a flat tire leaves an older woman stranded in the middle of a desert. At the same time, an unemployed man desperately needs a job. All these stories are brought together as what goes around comes around and they impact each other in a way the three people could never have imagined.

Replay – Advent Rising
One of Majesco's most ambitious titles was 2005's Advent Rising, which featured a script from science fiction author Orson Scott Card. Originally planned to be a trilogy, the game also featured a comic book tie-in and planned PSP title. Sales fell short of expectations, which is why we only have one entry in the (planned) series to revisit for Replay.
Watch below to see the Replay crew tackle the Majesco flop.

LBL Review # 1-Rehearsals for Oblivion Act I
Peter A. Worthy has come out of his way to colect and edit a colection of tales-let us call them "pastiches"-of Robert W. Chambers' "The King in yellow" stories.
The book is oficialy caled Act I and,though I am not quite sure,this may be just a reference to the first act of the King in Yellow being called "common"-while the second is considered bringing madness.
Anyway,the colection,put out by Dimensions Books in 2006 colects the following stories:
* The Curse of the King by Richard L. Tierney
* The Dream-Leech by William Laughlin
* Ambrose by John Scott Tynes
* In Memoriam by Robert M. Price and Roger Johnson
* Cordelia's Song-1938 poem published in Weird Tales-the authors name has not been able to be discerned
* Chatreuse by Michael Minis
* Cat with the hand of a Child by Marc McLaughlin
* Liloth by Susan McAdam
* Reflections in Carcosa by Mark Francis
* Broadalbin by John Scott Tynes
* Adventure of the yellow sign by G. Warlock Vance
* Tattered souls by Ann K. Schwadder
* What sad drum? by Steve Lines
* The Machine in Yellow by Carlos Orsi Martinho
* The Peace that will not come by Peter A. Worthy
* Yellow is the color of Tommorow by Ron Shiflt
* The Purple Emperor by Will Muray
* A Line of Questions by Joseph S. Pulver
The colection is fairly large and a fan of Chambers will certainly be thrilled by reading it,as I,but,of course it has its faults.
(Note:Anything beyond this point are SPOILERS)
To the individual tales:
* The Curse of the King is without a doubt the best piece of poetry in this colection and,while not as great as Chambers,it comes very close,especialy its second part-so,8/11
* The Dream-Leech is also probably the best working King in yellow story in the colection-of course,the usage of swear words anoyes me,as I am rather a "old style" adorer-ergo the 20's and 30's,so I dont realy quite like that aspect.
Summing it up-8/11
* Ambrose is a good fantastical tale,though it may not use all the possible horror of Carcossa's seting-also,I find the inclusion of the "robotic child" to be rather without any fundemental meaning-so,7.5/11
* In Memoriam-hmm,a good tale,not much to add,except a not for later,so 6.8/11
* Cordelia's Song-not nearly as powerfull to be included-though its usage by Price and Johnson in the above story seems worth a few plus points-so 6.35/11
* Chatreuse -a story which was good,plus for suing the decaying seting, however it will recieve a note together with In Memoriam in the "postscript"-6.96/11
* Cat with the hand of a Child-I fail to see the reason for the tales inclusion-its ending does somehow remind you of M.P.Shiel's "Xélucha"-howver it is not used efectively and,well,I believe it is rather an outline or a sketch rather then a fleshed out story-talk about "rushed"-so,for that reason alone,4.39/11
* Liloth -I see where she's aiming,however I cant say why its included,I would rather call this a horror on the more gruesome side-the thing which brings down some of the points is the ,well,to "mainstream" description of the "transition" she tries and the old womens words of reply-as a whole,that transition scene does only harm.So looking besides besides the KiY refrences,I have to deduct a point for the aforementioned overusage of repulsive for naught and the transition scene-so 5.5/11
* Reflections in Carcosa-hmm-standartly good poetic piece,so-6.56/11
* Broadalbin-Tynes,well,he does it again,he kind of dosnt use his own implications as he should-oh,not like Doyle in say "The beetle collector", but kindof let-down-ish,especialy if the "gangster" of the main character,the over usage of sex scenes (second point of Postscript) ,and a certain feeling almost bordering on "fanfic"-ness.So,because of this,6.5/11
* Adventure of the yellow sign-okay,seriously,this Holmes pasiche feels forced and the finalé,well,that and adding Holmes' sudden belief in homunculae not realy being explained away believabely-6/11
* Tattered souls-aah,well the KiY stuff is handled through a radical re-interpretation (Third point of the post script),so this brings down a few points-to be a bit generous,I'll say 6.7/11
* What sad drum?-poem of standard of slightly sub-standar quality-6.29/11
* The Machine in Yellow-foreign stuff,apreciated because of that. Otherwise, subjected to the same thing as In Memoriam and Chatreuse-sex scenes are kind of uneeded to.So 7.35/11
* The Peace that will not come-ive a gripe with this one-as with Liloth,it has some of ye ol' "gruesome horror"-which is done so well,Ill rate it at 7.01/11, however there is one problem-the thing breethes more "Silent Hill" then "The King in Yellow",though its done well.
* Yellow is the color of tommorow-one,I know its supossed to be tongue in cheek,but HPL's critique,under the faint guise of "Lovejoy" can annoy a fan. Then,theres a certain fanfiction-nesque in this one too.Points,however, have to come from actualy trying to continue Chambers¨fictional history .So,7/11
* The Purple Emperor-this one is subject to radical re-interpretation and, as HPL critisized Blackwood,"profesional ocultism"-on a scale Blackwood would have never dreamed of.It realy looses a lot on theese two acounts.So, 6.88/11
* A Line of Questions-6.77,standart.Gets 0.20 for reminding one of "The Prophets paradise" somewhat.
The Play
Im sure it is a fundamental element in the KiY "universe" and as such deserves a place-however,does literary a quarter of the tales have to deal with the play being staged/discused?
The Dream-Leech,In Memoriam,Chatreuse and The Machine in Yellow all deal with this and all,except Chatreuse,have it staged.I think thats a bit much.
Chambers was a writer of cheep romance-the four (well,if you know a litle french,five) "Street" stories from KiY are remarkabely bellow notice and would be beter to be un-reprinted-as the majority of Chambers' "shop girl romances" or things like "The eggs of the silver moon" .
That being said,Chambers never depicted lust,nor sexual bestiality/desire in his KiY stories-howevr,here they are present to an astoundishing degree.while the times may have changed,is it realy needed?
Also,"The machine in yellow" has a queer kind of soap operatic-ness,which is on the level of Leonard Cline's "The Dark Chamber"-he dilutes his masterpiece with the "family romances" .
Radical re-interpretation
Chambers based his book on hints of some Ambrose Bierce stories,especialy "An Inhabitant of Carcossa".He added some stuff and stretched a great deal.However,today,people radicaly re-intepret Chambers' "hints" ,while accepting his alternations to Bierce-however,none of them accepts anything the other has writen ,simply having completely oposing views/interpretations- the very need to explain most of Chambers' hints at times sems superflous and ,especialy in this colection,side by side,a bit ridiculous.
End Rating:7/11-Certainly worth it.

Non intelligent artificial language learner
Subject description: learns speech patterns
the above works on LUPU puppy 5 series just fine, if you wanna run it on a 4 series then get ready for dependancy hell, it is possible like i have it on my 4.2 but i couldnt shoehorn it onto puppeee version 1 no matter what i tried.
NIALL is an old concept that was originally made in 1995 on a AMIGA 500, i used it myself back then and its cool. I recently discovered it for the PC and have been using it and trying to make the most evil computer AI i can. This PC version is a little layme as it doesnt actually speak like the old amiga one did, just displays the text.
NIALL learn language(s) by analyzing what the order of the words are and applying certain mathmatical formula.
Have fun

You might want to try the ainebot chatbot, which I now maintain. There is an older version here on the forum, made into an AppDir:
I haven't uploaded any of the new releases of ainebot I have created, as I've just been granted maintainership of it and am preparing the docs, etc for the first official release.
ainebot has *no* dependencies besides glibc. It also starts faster and uses less RAM than any other chatbot. I'm doing some critical work on the internals to make it a more powerful language processor to make it more suitable as a 'shell' for robots, etc.
I use ainebot and pipe the output through flite, but there may be an internal inetface to flite in the works.
flite has been updated recently to version 1.4 and now comes with several voices instead of just one, and the voice can be chosen at runtime. the female voice is the best one.

amigo, I may have said this before and if i havent i meant to. The one man band, big bang approach is at the mercy of life in general. Your contribution if it circumbs to life as has happened to others so often in the past, it will be a major loss. Linux is frequent small step releases. Please organise your works into this pattern as soon as possible..
Thank you for listening.

aarf, I know all about release cycles. I always try to make each release understandable(through diffs) by sticking to just a few changes per release. In this case, I had already produced several un-released versions with individual feature/fix patch sets. Before getting around to making them available for others, I had contact with the former maintainer and negotiated taking over as maintainer. In order to bets do that, I then needed to change lots of docs to update contact adresses, etc.
You can see a good example of my release 'habits' here:

Unfortunately I have not done anymore on any ports -I don't code much over the (Northern Hemisphere) Summer. And I really have my plate full all the time when I do code.
big_bass is the one who is mostly on the right track and will come up with the best way of producing a reproducible Puppy which can be constructed/deconstructed at will -not least because he is using my src2pkg to do the heavy lifting - or rather the tedious part of the work. I still don't have ARM hardware either.
Using the ARM port of slackware or any other distro -like debian to just install a working devel environment, and then using src2pkg to create all the packages,like Joe does. Then assemble into a final product. Having individual upgradeable packages is the only way to build something maintainable.

There is already alot of debian ARM packages and an ARM version of debian. I think the easiest way to get a decent distro on ARM is to use that.

Academic Policy Details
Students interested in a law career should plan their undergraduate curriculum to receive a broad liberal education. According to law school reports, there is no single major that is the ideal preparation for law school. Students are advised to select courses which sharpen their analytical and critical thinking abilities. Law schools prefer students who can think, read and write well, and have some understanding of what shapes human experience. The University offers a Political/Legal Studies major that provides a strong interdisciplinary liberal arts based law-related curriculum. This major is appropriate as preparation for law school or other advanced legal study. However, other academic majors are also appropriate as preparation for a law career. A faculty member is designated as pre-law adviser, providing counsel about coursework and about entry into law school.
These policies apply to the Semester Program/On Campus students only. Graduate College Students will need to consult the Graduate College Bulletin.

Acclaimed Dramas Now Available for Streaming On CBS.com
LOS ANGELES, July 23, 2013 – What happens when residents of a peaceful Kansas town experience a nuclear disaster and, left isolated, must fend for themselves? Or when two generations of friends and neighbors in suburban Chicago explore new freedoms during the culturally transformative 1970s? Or when an outsider finds himself in a mysterious – and dangerous – Pacific Northwest town where the residents can shape-shift into wolves?
Viewers can find out during CBS.com's Second Look feature this summer, in which all episodes of three CBS dramas – JERICHO, SWINGTOWN and WOLF LAKE – are available for streaming on CBS.com.
"JERICHO, SWINGTOWN and WOLF LAKE pushed the boundaries, exploring some of the most popular themes in television today: post-cataclysmic life, the social and cultural mores of a generation, and the supernatural," said Jeff Grossman, Vice President of Content and Product Strategy for CBS Interactive. "Over the years, fans have told us they'd like to experience these shows again, and through CBS.com, we're able to resurface programming that not only captivated viewers but broke new ground."
The episodes, which are now available at CBS.com, include:
JERICHO follows the residents of a peaceful Kansas town when a nuclear disaster hits, plunging the residents into chaos, leaving them completely isolated and wondering if they're the only Americans left alive. Fear of the unknown propels the town of Jericho into social, psychological and physical mayhem when all communication and power is shut down. But in this time of crisis, as sensible people become paranoid, personal agendas take over and well-kept secrets threaten to be revealed, the most unlikely heroes will emerge.
WOLF LAKE is a supernatural drama about a small Pacific Northwest town where the residents can shape-shift into wolves. John Kanin, a Seattle cop, arrives in Wolf Lake in search of his fiancée, who has mysteriously disappeared right before his eyes following a bloody attack. As an outsider, Kanin delves further into the intrigue of Wolf Lake, he realizes that there is more to this beautiful, dangerous town than meets the eye and he intends to find out what it is.
SWINGTOWN, from the director of "Big Love" and "Rome," traces two generations of friends and neighbors as they forge intimate connections and explore new freedoms in 1970s suburban America. The show portrays the ever-shifting "swing" of the pendulum that reflected the change in America's collective value system — morally, politically and socially. After moving to an upscale lakeside Chicago suburb in July of 1976, Susan and Bruce Miller must confront temptation in the form of their provocative new neighbors, Tom and Trina Decker, while not abandoning their old friends, Janet and Roger Thompson. As the adult couples evaluate whether to embrace or avoid newfound personal freedoms, the curious Miller and Thompson children begin to discover and assert their own morality and sexual identities as they come of age in a world on the precipice of change. In a shifting social climate — defined by its music, fashion and style — everyone in SWINGTOWN is confronted with personal choices, experimentation and varying attitudes.
