Heard Laboratories is a sonic ethnography of scientific research environments at Harvard University, made using Schoeps cardioid mics in ORTF stereo configuration and a Sound Devices audio recorder. The sounds of equipment, devices, and activities draw attention to the physical processes underlying scientific research, the work underway which provides a ground for our highly technologized society. In the name of human progress, enormous resources are devoted to and consumed by such activities, which are both hidden and taken for granted. Heard Laboratories brings this background to the fore.
Heard Laboratories is a largely abstract soundscape, consisting of edited sequences of unprocessed location recordings. The liner notes list edit points, along with descriptions of the research each laboratory is engaged in, so that the listener may follow along and know what kind of laboratory they are hearing at any given moment.
The work does not take a position with respect to what is documented, and neither endorses nor criticizes the research programs of the laboratories which granted access.

It seems whenever someone mentions "daddies", pics of grey-haired, pot bellied guys come up. That's fine and all...some guys get into that...no me so much.
I'm turned on by the hot, 40 yr old daddies. It seems like there are pics out there of young and older guys, but the middle ages are left out.
Bring on some hot 30-45 year old daddies!

- Product Review (submitted on May 21, 2012):
- No complaints. These are pretty good quality and will undoubtedly last a long time. The only thing I don't like is the gold colored "d-ring, pivot point thingy" used for the wrist strap. This dislike is solely from an aesthetic point of view.

KnProxy Lambda is a branch of KnProxy that uses Java and PHP to provide users with a safe and balanced proxy service. Communications between the Java client and the PHP based server are encrypted in highly secure encryption methods. Traffic is also distributed among many servers to prevent flow monitoring. KnProxy Lambda allows users to set up a full proxy processing POST, GET, and AJAX Requests on any server offering PHP. It is also compatable with APJP servers, allowing for a wider network and an easier migration.
Pagekite is software to make servers on "localhost" visible to the wider Internet. It can be used by Web developers to show off their works in progress to clients or colleagues, embedded developers who need direct access to devices in the field, or as an alternative to dynamic DNS for individuals/hobbyists who would rather host their own content than rely on 3rd party hosting. It creates and maintains a tunnel between your server on localhost and a remote "front-end" (a reverse proxy). Only the front-end has to have a visible IP address; the server itself can reside on a heavily firewalled computer, a mobile device, or even an anonymous node on the Tor network.

What the hell was he thinking?!
So how do you respond? If you're Adrian Arrington, you allegedly go out drinking at the bar, get in a fight with your girlfriend, take her car and drive home drunk...all around 3 a.m. of the morning before your team is about to play Penn State on the road in a nationally televised game.
If it's true, what a complete idiot.
The U-M football team and its coaching staff have performed a minor miracle in A2 this year, rising from the ashes (at least by Michigan standards) of a 7-5 season to the #2 squad in the country, and Adrian Arrington risks everybody else's hard work and sacrifice for that bullshit?!
What a selfish ass.
While details are still emerging, if the things Arrington's girlfriend alleges turn out to be accurate, you can bet you won't see Arrington on the field the next game or two. And if it turns out he lied to Coach Carr during this incident, my guess is he'll be gone for the rest of the season.
As he should be.
Too many people have worked too hard to put Michigan in the position they now enjoy. And for a player to jeopardize that is unacceptable.
What a moron.

I'm not disagreeing with the overall gist of this post, but for correctness the incident occurred on thursday night (actually like 3AM Friday morning), which is not the morning of the game.

Do you really think Carr is going to sit Arrington for the Ohio State game. No matter what, AA plays.
- October 25, 2006 3:06 AM
please, please, please remember this post when this incident gets handled 'internally' & disappears into the 'that never really happened' file by the UM faithful - all while speaking underhandedly about Tressel and his inability to control every move his players make.
watch & wait!
- October 25, 2006 4:23 AM
Yea right screwa2. Would Tressel Cheatypants, you and your legion renounce the tainted title you won with Maurice Clarett at the helm few years back, would you?
Here at Michigan we lament if a player does something as minor as this! And there is a big ALLEGED in the reports.. Facts haven't come out yet.
Ohio State fans, out of all the people, have to really shut up about this. They have no right to talk about what's right and what's wrong. Even your Heisman QB is tainted. So STFU OSU fans

When I went to school there, the only time I'd go to ypsi was to go to the Vu! :) I wonder if that's where he was and if his GF was pissed he was out looking at other boobies... If this is true -- I, along with my michigan brothers, have been shamed.

AA is a 20 yo kid who did a dumbass thing.
Most would argue that you would not go out and get drunk the night before a calculus or orgo exam. Shouldn't do it during game week, either.
And think about how many times you may or may not have had to wrestle keys away from a friend...AA vs. a Shorty, guess who 'wins'.
These guys know that football is played on a BIG stage, and that their every move (and their blog pages) are scrutinized. ALL UM athletes go thru DV seminars, substance use/abuse seminars,nutrition seminars/disordered eating seminars and even how to balance a check book seminars (yes, really.)
Lloyd will take care of this. And if AA needs more serious attention then suspension, that will happen too.
I completely agree with this post--the kid did a moronic thing
Lloyd is NOT Tre$$el
U of M is NOT tOSU
tOSU did NOT expunge its football championship
U of M did expunge the basketball championships
How do you spell Integrity???

I agree that what AA did is pretty stupid, though I admittedly did some stupid things when I was his age. However, I wasn't the starting WR at Michigan ... when I drank too much on Thursday night (underage) I missed Heat & Mass Transfer class on Friday morning (well, I didn't even have to be out drinking to think about skipping that class in most cases) ... I didnt' jeopardize Michigan's chances of beating their opponent on Saturday.
This whole thing is very disappointing to me. I'd be surprised if Lloyd really played him if he was aware of all the facts (which I guess no one really knows at this point anyway), but it's hard to say from the outside looking in. I sure as heck don't want to end up with a reputation like tOSU, Miami, and other felon-laden programs ...
- October 25, 2006 8:21 AM
While Yost is only talking about AA, I'll address that first. Lloyd cannot be around every player 24 hours a day. Kids do dumb things you wish they wouldn't. Since there is only a he said/she said going on and no blood or breath test, I doubt the court can do much. If he sits, it won't be for more than part of a game. I wouldn't want to be him in practice though.
For all of the OSU haters out there, we won! MC got suspended for things that happened after the NC, and never played for OSU again. He hasn't been a student there since spring 2003, get over it. Troy Smith is one of the best stories of a kid turning his life around of anyone. His incident for $500.00 probably cost OSU another title. JT has cleaned up the off field stuff considerably. Marcel Frost was dismissed earlier this season. Eric Haw had to transfer because he couldn't see the daylight out of JT's doghouse. Boone is on probation, and since he quit drinking, dropped 40 pounds and has turned his life around. Don't act like you haven't had things happen at UM (Marlon Jackson, Larry Harrison), because you have.
It seems LC & JT are making millions for a reason, and in making men out of boys the success rate isn't 100%. Let this AA incident play out and trust that they will do the right thing.
- October 25, 2006 8:43 AM
Ohio St. could only 'dream' of having the steller reputation Michigan earned during the fab 5 era. As many problemss as the Buckeyes have had, it's still only a dream.
- October 25, 2006 8:44 AM
I have to agree with Yost on this one. If it turns out AA was drinking, he is gone in my book.
I competed at Michigan. I was a team captain as a 5th year senior. The thought of drinking in-season, absent maybe winter break when I was home, was off-limits. I can't say all my fellow "starting" team mates took this approach but I can say that if a fellow starter did something like this during our season, I would have asked the coaches to boot him from the team.
There is no place for this sort of stuff at any time but especially in-season. It absolutely kills team goals and chemistry. Any 20-year old knows that. Especially a 2nd time offender like AA who has already been suspended from the team once for bad behavior.
- October 25, 2006 8:59 AM
Crabapple Buck--
We're not acting like things haven't happened. From the Michigan Daily:
"Two years ago, point guard Daniel Horton faced domestic abuse charges after allegedly pushing his girlfriend. Originally suspended indefinitely, Horton sat out the remainder of the season when he pled guilty to the charges.
Defensive tackle Larry Harrison was involved in the last major legal incident concerning the football team.
Charged with indecent exposure in December, 2004, Harrison was found guilty of being a sexually delinquent person along with the original charge. Carr suspended Harrison indefinitely immediately following the arraignment that December, a year before the conviction."
I don't think anyone can argue that those were inappropriate punishments. We agree that if Arrington is guilty, Carr will handle it. But, appropriate or not, it always sucks to [potentially] lose a great player, so don't mind us if we kick some appliances around the house and swear a few times before it sinks in.
- October 25, 2006 9:16 AM
"expunge (our) 2003 NC" <---- for what?
- October 25, 2006 9:36 AM
I thought individuals are innocent until proven guilty?? The girlfriend say's she didn't want it blown out of wack. BUT when you call the police in the state of Michigan for a domestic violance call...someone is being charged! Doesn't matter if the girlfriend pressed the charges or not. It is the LAW in Michigan. The courts in Michigan make a ton of revinew doing this. AA got charged and pleaded NOT GUILTY to the charge. This indicates that the incident was indeed blown out of proportion. What the Team and coach Carr need to do is disipline him for even being in the situation regardless of guilt. The punishment should fit the crime. I'm sure it will.
- October 25, 2006 10:09 AM
In this country, for the most part, you are PRESUMED INNOCENT until PROVEN guilty.
There seems to be a lot of "hearsay" in this incident (he said, she said...).
Let's wait until the true facts are presented before we make judgements...
- October 25, 2006 10:19 AM
- Yost said...
And I agree. But *if* (as I said in the article) he was out drinking and *if* he lied to Carr, then serious steps need to be taken.
However, if this incident was blown out of proportion and it didn't happen like folks *think* it happened, then he shouldn't miss a game (as much as "some" folks will say it was "swept under the rug").

"Innocent until proven guilty", this is a phrase I have heard at some point in my life in reference to our legal system.
Apparently this does not apply to personal opinions on web sites. There are no witnesses to these accusations. This is a he-said/she-said situation which is probably why Coach Carr has not suspended AA yet.
As of right now, there is no proof that he had been drinking and no proof that he laid any hands on his girlfriend. It could be as bad as depicted or it could be an angry girlfriend. We don't know.
- October 25, 2006 11:43 AM
Have to say that i am disappointed. AA should have behaved better. If what his GF told was all true, i guess he must sit out the rest of the season. We have standards here at MIchigan and they must be upheld.
- October 25, 2006 11:51 AM
the real question is....why did he play against iowa, when all of this was rumors on an internet board, surely the coaching staff knew the whole story...?

- October 25, 2006 1:40 PM
in response to anon 1:28am and everyone else posting the same nonsense
Clarett never did anything illegal while he played for tOSU. He falsified that police report well after the NC game, and what did Ohio State do (not the NCAA... Ohio State)? They suspended him for the entire 2003 season. They kicked the best running back in college football at the time off the team for a whole year... they guy that won them the NC.
And here you are talking about ALLEGED reports on AA... Everything Mo C said about OSU giving him special benefits was alleged. NCAA investigated the program and guess what? They came up clean.
It's funny how a Michigan player gets in trouble and every maize and blue guy out there says "I want proof! he's innocent without proof! It never happened!" But when it's an OSU guy, you guys will believe any source, you'll even believe proven liar like Maurice Clarett over the NCAA investigators. That's pretty sad.
Looks like you can dish it out but can't take it.
- October 25, 2006 2:26 PM
Arrington's attorney, Chris Easthope, told The Ann Arbor News that the case is not all the police report makes it out to be.
"Mr. Arrington didn't assault this woman, and she is dumbfounded how this even became a domestic violence charge," Easthope said.
- October 25, 2006 3:18 PM
Hell yea this board has been pretty laid back lately with the we all love each other bullshit which we even have to type through clenched teeth... We needed a little controversy to stir up the old "Shut up OSU fans!!!", Tressel is a cheater", and whatnot. That's what makes this rivalry the best, not the "I'm special, you're special, we're all just a bunch of special fuckers" type of BS. Call us dirty. That way we can call your program a bunch of dirty mofos, or say Muck Fichigan!!! Either way keep it going, cause come Nov. 18th it will be decided over many beers watching the greatest game in the world...
OSU vs. Michigan
P.S. Go Buckeyes, and Fuck Michigan
- October 25, 2006 3:26 PM
FWIW, under Michigan law...
When documenting a domestic violence response:
The victim does not have to write a statement.
The victim does not have to sign the report.
The victim should not be asked if prosecution is desired.
The officer shall act as the complainant based on information and
My take is that the cop taking the report was/is overzealous. The charges will be dropped when the prosecutor talks to the chick and she says WTF.
Then AA must explain why she said he was drinking in the report. If he told Carr he was not drinking but in fact he was, he should be out for the season IMO. BTW, I heard he had a cold that week ;)
- October 25, 2006 3:42 PM
Clarett never did anything illegal while he played for tOSU.
Sure...he never got caught. But what rational individual could possibly think this, especially after everything that has happened since?????
That's like believing Chris Webber when he says he never took any money from Ed Martin.
In any case, if AA was out drinking until 3 AM the week of the PSU game, he should be kicked off the team. Period.
Kind of like Steve Bellisari was kicked off OSU's team in 2001.
Oh...that's right - that didn't happen. If my memory serves me right, Bellisari got pulled over driving drunk and blew three times the legal limit.
I'm pretty sure Tressel let him dress for Michigan and play in the Outback Bowl. What a disciplinarian.
- October 25, 2006 5:01 PM
Bellisari played for Tressel? didn't know that!
- October 25, 2006 6:19 PM
What a silly comment, Cliff.
Bellisari was suspended for the Michigan game in 2001 and the game before that too. Seems that OSU is not afraid to discipline players that get out of line, weather it be the star runningback or the starting quarterback.
We'll see if Michigan has the balls to follow suit. The fact that Errorington has already played two games since the incident tells me that, no, they in fact don't.
Anybody else see the irony? Michigan fans rip on OSU for being "dirty" for years and it turns out that their program is even worse than tOSU.
The shoe is on the other foot and I couldn't be happier.
- October 25, 2006 6:25 PM
Silly comment?
Anon - You need to do your homework. Bellisari was suspended for the Illinois game in 2001. Not the Michigan game.
After the incident, Tressel suspended him "indefinitely" which in Columbus means "until the Michigan game" since he dressed and was on the sideline for the game.
As for Arrington, the drinking aspect just came to light this week - if it is true. Arrington didn't get pulled over by the cops and blow 0.25. Not even close.
Michigan has a long way to go to catch up to OSU and its thugs.
- October 25, 2006 7:47 PM
Bellisorry was allowed to dress but was 4th string and wasn't playing no matter what - that's pretty much a suspension. Tell you what - Carr can let Arrington dress for The Game and not let him play and we'll call it even!
- October 25, 2006 8:06 PM
I find it laughable that any rational person could equate Clarett "test driving" a car filled with cash, 8000(alleged) dollars worth of stereo equip, and clothing valued at 1000(alleged) dollars to a woman calling saying her boyfriend was driving drunk.
"The NCAA said the organization never confirms whether an investigation is taking place. NCAA infractions committee chairman Thomas Yeager said athletes are ineligible whenever they receive a special benefit otherwise unavailable to other students.
"If it's something like a student athlete driving a booster's car or coaches' or agents' cars, generally the rule is you're not driving other people's cars," he said. "If any student at the university could walk into a dealership and get a free weekend test drive, then that kind of thing would be permissible." "
This is from an ohio publication:
If AA made a silly choice, then I fully agree he should be suspended for the rest of the year. That is, if he IS PROVEN GUILTY - i.e. caught re handed, like a certain running back that was caught in an obvious infringement on NCAA rules, and then had the brains to inflate the value of items stolen out of a car that he should have never been driving AND REPORT IT TO THE POLICE.
- October 25, 2006 8:56 PM
i've only seen UM fans comparing AA to clarett and only to try to show how "corrupt" tressel is.
also, did you forget the reason he has a 11/1 court date?
not for driving drunk
domestic assault
- October 25, 2006 9:00 PM
If they'd found her car on Stadium with various assault rifles and a vodka bottle in the front seat, it'd be a Clarrettable offense. If his girlfriend called the cops because he was two mil in the hole to Israeli gangsters from L.A., it'd be a Clarrettable offense. This is good, clean fun. My bet is he was at the Wooden Nickel. That place sucked. Long live the Vu.
- October 25, 2006 9:03 PM
I really wish all of you (UMers and my fellow OSU fans alike) could take a step back and realize how incredibly stupid and juvenile you sound, going back however many years to rag on each other, exaggerating, outright misstating facts...
Here's my two cents, and I'll try to keep it "rill": During the Cooper years, OSU gained a well-deserved reputation for not being concerned enough about the character and off-field activities of the kids that made up the teams they ran out on Saturdays. That was probably as much the reason he got fired (see Reggie Germany's GPA of zero fall quarter '01) as was 2-10-1.
Since Tressel's come along, though, he's made a real effort to turn that around. Reynolds commits a shitty incident on the field, he's suspended for a game. Troy takes a little money from a booster, Tressel suspends him for the bowl game and the first game next season, AND continues to sit him for significant parts of the Texas game. Erik Haw got caught smoking a joint, and he NEVER got out of Tressel's doghouse and ended up transferring. Louis Irrizarry was gone before the ink dried on the police report (figuratively speaking). Jonathan Skeete was kicked off the team and his scholarship (despite what lots of people said, he was only allowed to TRY to walk on again, NOT reinstated - and Tressel ended up cutting him anyway). Some of you have made great hay about Alex Boone's DUI, but let's remember that that happened in the spring, and he spent all of spring practice off the depth chart and has been a model citizen since then.
As far as Clarett's concerned, when he imploded he had been at OSU for exactly one year. It seems to me that it might reasonably take that long for any coach/program to determine whether a kid might have some problems but is worth trying to steer right, or that he's not going to get it and needs to be cut loose. The false police report happened after his first season, and Tressel immediately suspended his most valuable player for an entire season. Everything that happened with him after that is on him rather than Tressel and/or OSU, like it or not. As far as MoC's academic allegations go, the reliability of the source(s) needs to be considered. You might say there's a lot of smoke there, but remember that ALL that smoke was blown up out asses by the WWL, who, having thrown their lot in with Clarett from the start, pretty much had to pimp his side of things as much as possible. The NCAA sure didn't back him up.
Big-time college football programs are sprawling, complicated institutions, and it would take any new coach/AD/president a couple-few years to impose their will and fix the things that are broken, unless they were willing to just burn the whole thing down and start anew. But ask yourself: how many "good" kids would something like that harm? To this Buckeye fan, it sure looks like Tressel's trying hard (and succeeding) to build a program that we can be proud of for its character as well as its performance on the field. I'd also argue that part of that "character" is doing what you can, within reason, to help young men get their lives right when they screw up rather than throwing them under the bus - and out of college - to enhance your own reputation.
I realize this won't be persuasive to many of you dollar-sign-typing folks, but you also need to realize that absent any actual - repeat ACTUAL - allegations of recruiting violations, you're just talking out of your asses.
With regard to Arrington, I can't see that Lloyd's done anything wrong yet. The only thing that's even a little bit questionable, possibly, is his reliance on AA's version of events given that Arrington's already been suspended once. But, again, this gets back to what I mentioned above - Lloyd probably believes Adrian's a good kid - he wouldn't have recruited him otherwise - and is going to give him the benefit of the doubt until he KNOWS exactly what the score is.
Finally: I wish we could get back to talking football and stop all this bullshit sniping back and forth.
- October 25, 2006 9:14 PM
Shut the hell up. Tressel will succumb to Oyd and your season will go down the tubes thanks to Manningham & Co. OSU hasn't faced a real defense yet and I'd take Mike Hart on my team over any of OSU's wannabes every day of the week and twice on Sunday.
(How's that? Just as irrational, but more on-topic? Let me know.)

Just like fans, there are players that do not represent the school they go to.
- October 25, 2006 11:19 PM
OK, matsut. I promise no more dollar signs for now. But seriously: how much fun is it really to discuss whichever snuffy Michigan/tOSU is playing for the next three weeks?
If Arrington lied to Carr about the events the night he took the car keys, he should be suspended. Again, we are without critical facts about what happened that night, how forthcoming Arrington was to the team.
Regardless: what he did was at the very least monumentally stupid, and possibly worse. The truth of the matter is probably that everyone but the handful of zealots who frequent these types of boards has probably moved on, including the Michigan football team. In fact, I imagine that in the world outside, people are living happy and productive lives. Fuck, I wish I wasn't such a meathead.
- October 25, 2006 11:24 PM
After Arrington's arraignment Lloyd Carr repeated that he believes the allegations, in this case charges, do not support the facts. I fully expect the domestic violence charges to disappear. Grabbing her by the wrists and forcefully dragging her out of the car would consitute domestic violence, but it doesn't appear this is what actually happened. Grabbing her wrists and wrestling away the keys is certainly inappropriate, especially since they were her keys, but isn't a sufficient action for domestic violence.
The drinking is another issue. As Lloyd says, it will be handled internally. It is only conjecture what that means. I suspect AA will dress for the next couple games but not play, a la Belasari. If he lied to LC, we all know Lloyd would not tolerate that.

Halo 4 is due out in less than a week, and you'll be able to hop onto a game on Xbox Live and hear insults you didn't even know were still in use. Gendered insults are among the popular past times on the service, and developer 343 wants users to know that is not cool. In fact, you guys shaming ladies are flat-out "jerks."
"I've seen many of the sites that have documented some of the more gender-specific slanderous comments," 343 Industries head Bonnie Ross told GameSpot. "This is behavior that is offensive and completely unacceptable. I'd like to think most of our Xbox Live players don't support this kind of behavior."
Executive producer Kiki Wolfkill took it a step further. "It can be dangerous to give adolescents a broadcast mechanism," Wolfkill added. "There are always going to be jerks out there, and if you give them a way to express that side of their personality without being seen, you're going to see this type of behaviour manifest itself."
She added that developers have a "personal responsibility to think about how our games come across," which came up during the development of Halo 4. "We were very deliberate in thinking about who should be female and who should be male in the game, and if we came off stereotypical, we went back to the question what we were doing and why."
Obviously, the game heads calling out sexism isn't likely to curb sexism, but good on them for making the attempt to get through to jerks. Halo 4 is due November 6.

Space shuttle parts that have been to space and back are now on display to the public at Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in Rosman.
ROSMAN — Space shuttle parts that have been to space and back are now on display to the public at Pisgah Astronomical Research Institute in Rosman.
The Exhibit Gallery holds an orbiter wing leading edge and a tire used in the landing of Shuttle Discovery, along with an antenna assembly and other items gifted by NASA.
Established in September 1998, PARI is a not-for-profit foundation that provides hands-on educational and research opportunities in science, technology, engineering and math. The Exhibit Gallery is located on the 200-acre campus where scientific research is conducted using equipment including two 85-foot radio telescopes.
Education Director Christi Whitworth said staff and volunteers at the observation center were ecstatic when the space shuttle items arrived last month.
"It was very exciting NASA finally released these because we have been waiting for a long while," Whitworth said about the items, valued at about $1 million.
It took about three years for the items to arrive at PARI on Oct. 12 from the Kennedy Space Center. Scientists, volunteers and educators unpacked the wing segment immediately and started snapping photos of the parts that once left the earth's atmosphere to explore the vast realm of space.
"There was a lot of geeking out going on," Whitworth said Wednesday in the Exhibit Gallery, where many more artifacts from the space shuttle program, as well as meteorites dating back as far as 1492, are on display.
The wing panel on display is constructed from reinforced carbon material that provides protection for re-entry into the atmosphere, where temperatures on the surface of the shuttle exceed 3,000 degrees.
The panel is similar to the one damaged in the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003. Gallery visitors get a better idea of what failed during that mission after seeing the wing segment, Whitworth said.
Nearby, a Space Shuttle Discovery tire stands more than 3-and-a-half feet tall and is visibly worn down.
"You know that this is the tire when you watch the Discovery touchdown," Whitworth said about the Kennedy Space Center landing on July 17, 2006, following a 5.3 million-mile journey.
Children tend to gravitate to the tire, she said.
"The kids are just as tall as the tire and they can get an idea on how big the shuttle actually is," Whitworth said.
The Exhibit Gallery is open to the public and Whitworth said visitors enjoy seeing the space equipment and learning it was used.
"People get a sense of size and scale," Whitworth said.
She is impressed with the new additions to the Exhibit Gallery and encourages people to visit the PARI campus, which is open on weekdays and for special occasions.
"I never thought I would be standing next to a (shuttle) tire and wing segment," Whitworth said.
The PARI site was initially developed by NASA in 1962 as the East Coast facility to track satellites and monitor manned space flights. The best known PARI radio telescope is the 15-foot antenna, nicknamed "Smiley" because a smiley face was painted on the dish as a friendly wave to Soviet satellites during the Cold War era, according to the PARI website.
The Exhibit Gallery is open to the public from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday and by appointment. For more information, visit www.pari.edu.

LimeSurvey (formerly PHPSurveyor) is a Web application that interacts with MySQL, MSSQL, or Postgres to develop surveys, publish surveys, and collect responses to surveys. Once a survey has been created, data can be inserted into the survey either by a "pretty" public screen which presents each question one at a time, or by a quick and nasty data entry screen. It includes the capacity to generate individualized "tokens", so that invitations can be issued to participants. It also has the capacity to set conditions on whether questions will display (branching), numerous question types, and a basic statistics function.
gjots lets you organize text notes in a convenient, hierarchical way. It can be used for notes, jottings, bits and pieces, recipes, and even PINs and passwords, using encryption. It can also be used to "mind-map" larger compositions like manuals, Web pages, articles, etc. It is a bit like the KDE program "kjots", but uses the GTK library and supports a hierarchy of folders. Files can be output to HTML with an automatic table of contents or to docbook XML. Encryption is supported with ccrypt(1), gpg(1), and openssl(1), so that musings can be kept private.

Christopher Hitchens passed away on December 15th. Evan Smith interviewed him for Texas Monthly Talks in 2007. Above is the full interview.
Here is what Evan said about him at the time: Christopher Hitchens is, as he was described recently in the New York Times, a "fervid athiest," and has been since before he even knew to call himself one. And he doesn't mind saying so…loudly. While the topic of one's lack of faith would be, for most writers, too sacred a cow to punch, the famously provocative Hitchens has no problem lacing up his gloves for any reason, and oh-boy-has-he-has-done-so in his new book, the rapidly best-selling God is Not Great: How Religion Poisons Everything. As the title suggests, the 58-year-old doesn't hold back in exploring the extent of his contempt for all things spiritual, including religion, organized and otherwise, which he views as a dividing, hectoring, bullying force. Of course, there are those who read Hitchens' regular columns in Vanity Fair or Slate and see him as a divider, hectorer, and bully himself, and he might not disagree. The native of Portsmouth, England, and graduate of Oxford University has always laid it on the line, damn the consequences, whether the subject is women (whom he has written are not funny), Iraq (he passionately defends the war despite having once been a Marxist), Henry Kissinger (whom he brands a war criminal), or his friend Salman Rushdie (whose death threats by Islamic fundamentalists crystallized for Hitchens the point of view he is now expressing before throngs of fellow nonbelievers all over the country). But he also has a reputation for being hyperintellectual, bitingly witty, and extremely charming, and he did not disappoint when he stopped by for a chat in mid-May. " – Evan Smith, Texas Monthly Talks, Broadcast 05.24.07

"Stop — be still," whispered Simon Harvey, training his binoculars on a tangle of privet and wild blackberry bordering a sod field off Jeffress Road. "I think we've got a Savannah."
MILLS RIVER — "Stop — be still," whispered Simon Harvey, training his binoculars on a tangle of privet and wild blackberry bordering a sod field off Jeffress Road. "I think we've got a Savannah."
Harvey's friend and fellow birder, Wayne Forsythe, froze in place, sweeping the same thicket with his optics in search of the yellow eye striping that distinguishes the bird from its more common cousin, the song sparrow.
"This is their kind of habitat, but the wind isn't helping," Forsythe said, his eyes watering from the 20-degree wind chill. "They're being a little skulky today. Usually, we'd be kicking up dozens of them as we walked down through here."
Forsythe should know, as he's skirted this same flooded ditch hundreds of times over the 26 years he's spent birding in Henderson County. For 16 of those, the retired New Jersey detective and local plumber has organized the county's Audubon Christmas Bird Count, a national wildlife census conducted by citizen scientists now in its 113th year.
From Dec. 14 to Jan. 5, tens of thousands of volunteers like Harvey and Forsythe will venture into backyards, fields, forests and waterways to add a new layer of data to the Audubon Society's dense archive of bird numbers. Last year, more than 2,200 groups — each covering a 15-mile radius over one day — ticked off 60 million birds.
However, "this is not just about counting birds," said Gary Langham, Audubon's chief scientist. Data from the Christmas bird counts provide researchers with valuable insight into population and avian habitat trends, he said, and inform decisions by government agencies such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
By itself, the 5,244 birds tallied by 16 volunteer counters this past Sunday doesn't have much scientific relevance, Forsythe explained. Last year's count nearly doubled that, thanks to large flocks of crows, robins and grackles that showed up on a windless, warmer day last January.
"This is one of the nastiest days I've had in 16 years of doing the count," Forsythe said, pulling his collar up against the 30-mile-an-hour gusts that were forcing birds deep into cover. "You can't draw any reliable data from a day like this."
When combined with numbers from across the nation, and from previous counts by the same expert crew of local birders on the same week over decades, the results gain more weight. Audubon has used Christmas count data, combined with long-running breeding bird surveys, to document sharp declines in 20 common birds over the last 40 years.
They include several birds of grassy, open country, such as the grasshopper sparrow, field sparrow, lark sparrow and eastern meadowlark, whose numbers have plummeted 73 percent since 1967.
Historically, Henderson County has racked up the highest species numbers of any Christmas count in the mountains: an average of 83 species, Forsythe said. This year, volunteers spotted 81 species, including a peregrine falcon flying over Etowah, prey clutched in its talons, three palm warblers, two ravens in Mills River and a merlin.
"They're not super-rare, but those are birds that we don't see that often on a count," said Forsythe. He acknowledges that Henderson County isn't as mountainous as other "count circle" areas in Western North Carolina and boasts a more diverse array of habitats, including good amounts of standing water that draw in waterfowl and vast agricultural fields that act as landing zones for errant shorebirds.
Even outside of Christmastime, birders are notorious counters, tracking both population numbers of rare warblers and numbers of species seen in their lifetimes. Forsythe's "life list" currently sits at 692 species in North America, a phenomenal number considering there are roughly 900 wild bird species naturally occurring on the continent north of Mexico.
Sod fields in Mills River have produced such unusual finds for Forsythe as a snow bunting, which breeds in the arctic tundra; a glossy ibis, a coastal wading bird; and even a lone piping plover, a globally threatened shorebird.
"It's not that I'm brilliant," he said modestly. "I just put in thousands of hours a year looking."
Eventually, the plump Savannah sparrow showed himself, timidly hopping down to a waterside branch for a drink. Forsythe made a mental note, adding Passerculus sandwichensis to his tally of birds spotted. Then he turned the ignition on his orange Ford car and set off to find some red-breasted nuthatches in a nearby pine grove.

jniThreadCPUUsage is a Java library to get the amount of user and system CPU time used per thread. This is done via JNI, which calls getrusage() on the system. getrusage() is only available on Linux 2.6.26 or later and Solaris. One useful application of this is measuring the amount of CPU time used for a servlet request. getrusage() CPU time reporting is better than using the real time clock because it measures actual CPU time used and disregards times when the thread is idle or waiting (such as when it is waiting for network I/O).
xstatbar is a minimal system stats viewer for X11. It shows stats for CPU usage (with support for multi-core processors), memory usage, the number of processes, battery usage, volume, and time. It displays as a small, horizontal bar that integrates nicely with tiling window managers.
Cura is a mobile phone application bundle of remote server administration tools. It provides a personalized terminal emulator, a syslog module that allows for reading logs directly from a server, a SysMonitor module that visually graphs CPU and RAM usage percentages, access to Nmap, and Server Stats will offer general server information like its Vitals, Hardware information, Memory information, processes, and so on. A security feature allows you to have Cura's database wiped when you send the compromised phone a secret pattern of your choosing. (e.g. send an SMS message containing "phone has been stolen!" to your Android phone to wipe Cura's database and receive the location of the compromised phone as an SMS to your emergency phone number or as an e-mail to your emergency email address).
Python System Monitor (Psymon) is a cross-platform task and performance monitor. It features global process monitoring, system load history (CPU, memory, network, and disks), disk information, network connections, detailed information and CPU, and memory percentage history per process.
