April 15 deadline ends tumultuous tax season
- April 15 ends the tumultuous tax season for most
- Disagreement in Congress lead to multiple delays and issues for taxpayers
- Now%27s the time to start planning for 2013 taxes
Tax experts and taxpayers alike are breathing a sigh of relief that this year's tax season is finally over at midnight tonight.
Following a flurry of technological hiccups, sudden tax changes and delays caused by Congressional debates with the fiscal cliff, it's been an infamous year for taxes many would wish to not repeat.
"This has been the strangest filing season on record," says Bill Nemeth, an enrolled agent in Atlanta, Ga. "It's never seen like this before."
The most recent mar on the tax season occurred late Sunday night when the top tax preparation tool, TurboTax online, went down for roughly an hour. But that was relatively minor given the other trials taxpayers endured, including:
• Compressed tax season. Typically, the Internal Revenue Service is up and ready to start accepting returns on Jan. 13, Nemeth says. But due to last-minute discussions in Congress, the IRS wasn't ready for returns until Jan. 30, he says. But that was just the start. Some returns with certain credits didn't have forms ready until Valentine's Day and those with rental property had to wait until March 7, he says. "Because of Congress, things got real compressed this year," Nemeth says.
• Lifestyle changes raising new tax questions. Given the state of the economy, tax experts found taxpayers struggling on new issues. One of the biggest changes had to do with greater questions about who qualifies as a dependent, says Eva Rosenberg, an enrolled agent and operator of the taxmomma.com Web site. Many more parents are wondering who they can claim as dependents, as their children return home unable to find jobs, she says.
• Changes with investment taxes. Starting last year, brokerages have had the obligation to report the cost basis of most investments at tax time. And while most brokerages have gotten these forms out on time this tax year, many were wrong and needed to be fixed with amendments, says Jerry Love, a certified public accountant in Abilene, Tx. Several brokerages were sending fixes up until April. This only complicated the fact that many of the software packages that accountants used were also being patched to incorporate the year's last-minute tax changes.
Taxpayers who haven't filed yet need to get in motion, tax experts say. That's especially important for those who owe taxes. Filing for an extension can save big fees, as failing to do so results in a maximum 25% failure to file penalty and a 20% failure to pay, Nemeth says. The failure to file fee is 5% a month. Taxpayers unable to pay may qualify for a 3% annual interest rate and payment plans are also available for bills of less then $50,000, Nemeth says.
The IRS is less tough on taxpayers who miss the deadline but who are getting money back. There's no penalty, Nemeth says. But even these taxpayers will want to get current since if there's money due, and they don't file for three years, they forfeit their refund to the government, he says.
But above all, now's the time to plan for next April, says Love. Big changes in the code will likely hit high income earnings hard. "If you make more than $250,000, your taxes are going up. Count on it," he says.

Using contact mics that detect hand gestures through the aid of software, the Mogee is an electronic musical instrument that can be appended to virtually any rigid object.
From creator Bruno Zamborlin's site:
The different gestures can then be associated with different sounds. Then when the user wants to perform, the Mogees software will recognise which of these types of touch is closest to the one that the user is doing and then enable the corresponding sound engine or synthesiser. The tone of the synthesised sound is influenced by the actual sound picked up on the microphone. So you could use the same gesture — for example a tap — in different places on the surface and it would create the sound in a different key.
The software Mogees use build libraries of gestures through repeated use of the mics. When the mic is hooked in, the software's best guesses at gestures are linked to predetermined libraries of sound.

This was my fourth year presenting at System Center Universe Europe and I can honestly say that the conference just keeps getting better and better each time. This is mainly due to the epic amount of time and effort the team over at itnetX dedicate to organising it.
I went into this conference initially with two sessions to present. One was a solo effort titled 'What's New with OpsMgr 2016' and the other was a joint presentation with the one and only Cameron Fuller titled 'Using your OpsMgr skills to hack OMS'.
A few short hours after landing in Germany, I ended up adding another presentation to my list. This third one was another joint presentation with Cameron Fuller and it came with the awesome title of 'OMS & OpsMgr: Mortal Enemies, Casual Acquaintances, Best Friends, or Inbred Cousins?' - only Cameron could think up a fun and quirky title like this!
Here's the low-down on how each day over there went for me:
The day before the conference began, a few of us (myself, Cameron, Robert Hedblom and Janaka Rangama) decided to do some sightseeing and took a cab over to the Berlin Wall Memorial. Although this is one of the top sights to see when you visit Berlin and definitely something on my bucket list to check out, the sombre historical significance of the wall was never far from our minds.
After a few hours soaking up some culture, we walked through the various meandering side-streets of Berlin until we came across the conference centre that would host this years System Center Universe event. Located right in the middle of Berlin's Alexanderplatz, it wasn't hard to miss due to the large SCU flags that greeted us on arrival at the front of the building.
After a quick recon mission of the rooms we would be presenting in and the overall venue, we all agreed that this was going to be a good week ahead.
When we left the conference centre, we decided (actually Robert decided) to get some food accompanied with some local beverages. Being in Germany, it would've been rude to order anything smaller than this as a beer to wash down the local staple dish of Currywurst...
Another great thing about this years host city is the fact that everything is so central and after catching up with my geek friends, it was only a short night-time walk back to the hotel - which was always easy to navigate back to due to the prominence of the building on the Berlin skyline!
Day 1
We had a bright and early start on the Wednesday morning as Marcel Zehner kicked off the opening keynote with a run-down of the few days ahead (including the all-important party list!)
When Marcel got the formalities out of the way, it was straight into tech with special guest Ed Wilson (aka The Scripting Guy). Ed delivered an awesome presentation on how to approach traditional IT challenges in a hybrid IT world.
Straight after the keynote, myself and Cameron headed over to our room to get ready for our first co-presented session titled 'OMS & OpsMgr: Mortal Enemies, Casual Acquaintances, Best Friends, or Inbred Cousins?'...
It wasn't long before the room filled up and in true Cameron style, he kicked off the presentation with a pre-recorded video of songs and images that represented mortal enemies, casual acquaintances, best friends and inbred cousins!
The interaction from the audience during our session was awesome and we had so many questions in the Q & A section that we ran out of time!
The rest of the day was spent watching and learning from some of the other presentations and later that night, it was time to chill at the speakers and sponsors party - which was hosted at Club Mio and included a top quality open-air barbecue dinner.
Due to some very suspect MVP dance moves, I'll keep the after-hours nightclub photo's away from the internet!
Day 2
On the second day, I took in a cool session from the dynamic Stefan duo (Stefan Roth & Stefan Koell) before heading over to Bob Cornelissen and Savision's session titled 'Prepare for Hybrid Monitoring - SCOM 2012, SCOM 2016 and OMS'. Due to an unexpected hospital visit, Bob had initially asked me to be on standby to take over and deliver this presentation as he wasn't sure he'd even make it over to Berlin but, like a true professional, he stood up on stage and rocked it!
Following this, myself Cameron and Jan Vidar Elven headed over to the 'Ask the Experts' booth to host questions from attendees related to System Center 2016.
Later that afternoon me and Cameron were back on stage again for our 'Using your OpsMgr skills to hack OMS' session. This was another well attended presentation (especially considering the SquaredUp guys were doing an impromptu Whiskey Tasting in the room next door)!
When the final sessions of the day finished up, the conference venue played host to the SCU Networking Party where the mix of geek-talk, cocktails and music was rampant.
Day 3
With more than a few sore heads on the last day from the parties the previous night, I had my final presentation to deliver at the opening 09:15 time-slot. This session was titled 'What's New with OpsMgr 2016' and in it I covered all of the new features and enhancements that we can look forward to with the latest release of our favourite monitoring platform. Again, this was another session that had great interaction from the attendees.
An interesting method of gauging attendee feedback for each session was the 'Happy or Not' button stand that was positioned outside the door of each breakout session.
The results from this new rating system were uploaded and sent to speakers within a few days of the conference and thankfully the sessions I participated in where well received.
When I finished my last presentation, it was time to finally chill out a bit after prepping and rehearsing for most of the week and just after lunch a few of us decided to do some final sight-seeing before heading home the following day.
Here's me with my Ergo buddy Gareth checking out some of the amazing architecture around Berlin..
We also stumbled across what we initially thought was a normal Microsoft Store (similar to the ones in the US) however, when we went inside it was a strange bar/café combination so of course, we stopped here for some light refreshments!
When we were finished in the Microsoft bar, we headed on to the famous Brandeburg Gate (one of the top historical tourist attractions in Germany).
Closing Announcements
After the sight-seeing, we headed back to the conference for the closing keynote where some significant announcements were made relating to the future of SCU Europe.
The first announcement was that the conference would be back again in Berlin next year - which is a decision that has gone down very well with speakers and attendees.
The second announcement was that SCU Europe would be re-branded to Experts Live Europe...
I think this is a sensible decision as the conference has morphed into so much more than just System Center. Yes we will have a new release of System Center 2016 coming shortly but when you consider the amount of content discussed at this years conference on Azure and OMS technologies, it just makes perfect sense.
All-in-all, it was a great week and I'm really looking forward to heading back to Berlin next year to what has now turned into Europe's premier community conference for Microsoft IT pro's and geeks.

- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanDom Arquitectura's master plan for Huizhou, China optimizes green space and vertical gardens to create a lush living space with ample fresh air. Two rows of terraced residential towers are staggered in lines around giant green spaces, allowing for the natural flow of both air and pedestrian traffic. The master plan creates a sustainable new neighborhood that takes advantage of renewable energy and rainwater harvesting and fights back against Huizhou's pollution and hot climate.1
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanWith respect to the practice of feng shui, the neighborhood is laid out to coincide with energy and air flow.2
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanAfter thoroughly studying the land and climate of the region, Dom Arquitectura chose the project's location based on routes between Huizhou and nearby Bolou.3
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanTo help combat the emissions caused by the traffic route, as well as alleviate the hot climate, each of the twenty residential towers offer its residents plenty of balcony space, planted heavily with greenery.4
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanEach façade is also covered with a latticed double skin, which insulates the interior and can be planted with more greenery.5
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanThese plants along with the balcony plants act as giant air filters that suck up carbon dioxide and help lower temperatures. The green terraces also create a green visual line that gives the illusion of a heavily forested area.6
- Dom Arquitectura MasterplanThe residential towers are joined by a mall, a hotel, and a shorter apartment building that are arranged around a large green park. The complex utilizes rainwater harvesting to self irrigate, as well as both wind and solar energy to operate cleanly. The Huizhou master plan is an innovative sustainable community that reacts to the ever changing climate.7

Lieutenant Carter, providing much needed cover fire
Providing cover fire. Setting a pick. Taking a pitch for the team. Whatever analogy you want to use, that is exactly what I thought Jimmy Carter was doing last week when he called out some of the garden variety racism being directed at President Obama. Despite the outstanding humanitarian work he's done since leaving the White House, President Carter knows that people look at his presidency as a less than stellar one. He also knew that the consequence of him speaking out on the racial toxicity our Commander in Chief was on the business end of would instantly turn him into a low hanging pinata to his detractors on the right. But the man who served as our 39th President knew something had to be done and he didn't care if it meant sacrificing himself in the process.
For the longest time the mainstream media overcompensates as a result of right wing criticisms, the same way a black police officer might mistreat a civilian of the same skin tone to prove that he isn't giving anyone preferential treatment, and I'd be damned if the last 8 months hasn't been exactly that. Definitely a case study in overcompensation as sentiments from the highly questionable to flat out racism were clumsily being treated as legitimate opposition: A dirty broad from Russia(A reader corrected me, she's from Moldova. I already know too much about that shitheel) of all places questioning the President's citizenship and the legions of tin-hatted glass lickers who gleefully follow her lead, unfortunately treated as a "Conspiracy theory" and not the blatant racism that it actually was. Uneducated townhallers saying "I was my country back", a racial dogwhistle usually prefacing some regurgitated smear in the form of a question - pundits of every political stripe treated the miscellaneous authors of said belligerence as if they were simply a "concern citizen" voicing a standard inquiry. Of course the "socialism" charges being leveled at Obama are ridiculous on their face considering that said detractors usually have no problems with roads, firefighters, and medicare - but it has a racial component to it when the person saying it doesn't know what it means and says it like an epithet. The signs of Obama as Hitler. The signs of Obama as a member of al qaeda. The assholes coming to health care townhalls strapped. Because of Jimmy Carter, last week was the first time in Barack Obama's young presidency that I heard anyone outside of Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow even openly wonder if racism was indeed a factor.
In a move that will disappoint all the armchair revolutionaries out there, the same black folks who incessantly try to divide and conquer African American supporters of the president simply because Barack Obama isn't channeling the spirit of Huey Newton - the President was correct in disagreeing with Carter about the rampant racism. Sure, he sees the racism, but the Commander in Chief has to be above the fray. Besides, its politically smart, the moment he characterizes anyone as "racist" he will be painted as insensitively smearing hard working Americans with legitimate concerns. Carter's concerns forced the media to seriously look into something that had been angering the rest of us for months, allowing the President to act above it all. Like I said, cover fire.

I feel like Carter figures that the worst that could be done to his legacy has already been done, and being a man of honor, decided to jump in front of the proverbial bullet for another whom he perceives as being possessing of honor as well. Kudos President Carter.

I don't expect Obama to revitalize the spirit of Huey Newton... never that.
I am still not feeling Carter... his epiphanies come decades too late..

LeBron James is keeping track of all critics of his move to Miami, but there's one right under his nose: his girlfriend.
"Don't think for one min that I haven't been keeping mental notes of everyone taking shots at me this summer. And I mean everyone!" he wrote on his Twitter account.
But just as his warning came out, so did an interview with his longtime girlfriend and mother of his two boys, Savannah Brinson. She told Harper's Bazaar South Beach is a nice vacation spot but not the best place to take one's talents.
U.S. & World
"Personally, Miami was not my favorite place," Brinson told the magazine. "Vacationing there is great. You go for three days and get some sun and it's time to go home.
Outside of Miami, James has seen his popularity sink like a net-stripping three-pointer of late. First, a made-for-TV special announcing his decision to bolt his home state of Ohio to join buddies Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh to play for the Miami Heat struck many fans and commentators as tone deaf. That was followed by the inadvertent release and quick retraction of a less than flattering ESPN article detailing the player's party habits during a recent weekend in Las Vegas.
And while moving to Miami makes him a good bet to win an NBA title or two, the decision has since been questioned by everyone from Jay-Z to Michael Jordan.
While it appears that no slight has escaped the King's watchful eye, according to Fanhouse.com, he ought to worry about Brinson and sons LeBron Jr., 5, and Bryce, 3. James, who also spoke to Harper's for the Aug. 17 edition, said Brinson will be there for him, even if it's Miami.
"A person like myself always needs a great sidekick and a person you can rely on no matter the circumstances. And she's that," James told Harper's. "She's got my back, and I love her for that."
Anyway, love for her man and the prospect of perpetual sunshine seems to have brought Brinson around.
"When they told me it doesn't get any colder than 50 degrees, that sold me," she said. "We get below-zero weather in Cleveland. ... I can't wait to have a sunny Christmas."
"It will definitely be an adjustment, but we'll make it. We're not complaining," she says.
"Whatever LeBron felt was comfortable, I'm with him," she continues. "I just love him so much. We're soul mates."

The UD-SW10B Subwoofer Enclosure is designed to easily fit in this small space. Despite the compact spacing, the this woofer and enclosure combination performs like a full-size subwoofer delivering tight, clear bass you can feel. See the Documents tab for dimensions.

Guy guys (and Gals),
I live in NW Florida where the wind is relatively light, I am a bit bigger at 230lbs and looking to get out there on the cheap if possible. I have shopped and shopped around for a decent kite with bar to get me started. I have located a few 2007/08 Best Waroo kites that are in good condition with the bar and lines for sub $200. Should I not even consider these? I took my lesson on the 2016 BEST Roca (17m) and really liked it but my instructor seems to think that a smaller kite would be good to start out on as the winds around here are going to be picking up as we move into the winter season. He has also offered to sell me the kite I was learning on with a bar/lines for $1000. Doesn't sounds all that bad but the problem is being so new, I don't even know what I do and do not like when it comes to a kite.
So, what do you guys think? Should I pull the trigger on a cheap 2007 kite? here: http://c.ikitesurf.com/classifieds/22951
I have heard some concerns on depower on this early kites and glue issues on the valves (getting old and all). Also, can this kite really take the beating I am going to give it while learning? Of course, I can always fix a busted bladder I suppose.
Also there was this 2015 Kawaii Freeride 15m kite for less than $500:http://www.ebay.com/itm/191981182700?_t ... EBIDX%3AIT
I cannot find anything on the Kawaii brand, this worries me lol.
Good lord, so many options but armed with the internet and you guys, hopefully I can make a decent decision.
Thanks in advance.

One thing to know about our club:
The Chapter 1 book club is celebrating its 25th year as a book-discussion group. Our club was started in 1985 by a group of moms who had young children in elementary school and wanted an intellectual diversion from motherhood. Since 1985, the group has read more than 200 book titles and maintained monthly discussions with original and new members. The Chapter 1 book club owes its long history to club historian Sharon Thielbar, who in 1989 began keeping a list of all the books we discussed. Sharon died a few years ago and is missed tremendously.
Authors we'd most like to meet:
Jane Smiley, Lee Smith, Kazuo Ishiguro, Jane Austen and the Bronte sisters.
Worst reason anyone has given for not reading an assigned book:
"Reading makes me fall asleep."
Average time we spend talking about a book before the conversation swerves off into politics and family issues:
We spend about an hour talking about the book and then start discussing topics in our lives that relate to the book. The person who hosts the discussion generally has a lot of material on the book. That keeps our conversation on track.
Five books we loved:
"Crossing to Safety" by Wallace Stegner, "Fair and Tender Ladies" by Lee Smith, "The Remains of the Day" by Kazuo Ishiguro, "Sister Carrie" by Theodore Dreiser and "The Poisonwood Bible" by Barbara Kingsolver.
Next book:
"Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte

Move Will Extend Health Care to 300,000 Residents Under Affordable Care Act
By Kathleen Doheny
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Lisa Zamosky
June 18, 2013 -- Arizona lawmakers have approved Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act.
The expansion vote, which took place during a special state budget session last week, allows more Arizonans with low incomes to qualify for health insurance coverage.
Although Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer opposes the Affordable Care Act, she lobbied hard for months for Medicaid expansion.
By expanding Medicaid, Arizona will enable about 300,000 residents to obtain or keep health care benefits.
"I am grateful to the Arizona lawmakers who have acted with courage and conviction by completing the people's business," Brewer said in a statement.
"With landmark votes today in the House and Senate, legislatures have tacked the issue that is Job One of every session -- adoption of a responsible state budget -- and enacted Arizona's most sweeping health care legislation in decades."
Brewer sees Medicaid expansion as a way to provide cost-effective care to Arizona's working poor.
Not everyone agrees. Republican State Sen. Kelli Ward told the Associated Press the decision was "the biggest mistake we've made in the Arizona Legislature this year and maybe ever."
Each state decides whether to participate in the Medicaid expansion. The new rules will extend benefits to individuals with an income of $15,856 and a family of three with an income up to $26,951.

The Division of Hematopathology includes six subspecialty laboratories that provide hematology, homeostasis and thrombosis testing services as well as expert consultation services for the laboratory diagnosis of hematologic diseases.
The division serves both Mayo Clinic physicians and Mayo Clinic Laboratories clients through optimal testing and interpreting results to provide accurate diagnoses and relevant prognostic information. Tests are used to detect a broad gamut of hematologic diseases, including lymphomas, leukemias, plasma cell dyscrasias, hemoglobinopathies, red blood cell enzyme deficiencies, bleeding diatheses and hypercoagulable states.
More than 20 physicians and nearly 150 laboratory professionals perform the full range of testing approaches, from traditional microscopy to molecular and flow cytometric analyses.
The six subspecialty laboratories of the Division of Hematopathology are:
Cell Kinetics uses multicolor flow cytometry to immunophenotypically detect and characterize neoplastic hematolymphoid cells.
Metabolic Hematology detects abnormal hemoglobins (e.g., sickle cell disease), red blood cell enzyme deficiencies (e.g., G-6-PD) and cytoskeletal abnormalities (e.g., hereditary spherocytosis) and also screens for and characterizes thalassemias.
Molecular Hematopathology analyzes RNA or DNA to detect and quantify genetic abnormalities useful in the diagnosis and monitoring of hematologic malignancies.
Hematopathology Morphology performs complete blood counts (CBC) and analyzes cellular morphology in peripheral blood and some body fluids. The laboratory also performs a wide range of cytochemical stains.
Special Coagulation performs testing to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of patients who may have bleeding or clotting disorders.
Special DNA Coagulation concentrates on the identification of genetic abnormalities associated with hereditary bleeding and clotting disorders.
Hematopathology offers testing through Mayo Clinic Laboratories (MCL), the diagnostic laboratory referral center for Mayo Clinic.

Canon introduces new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens
Canon has introduced its new EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM telephoto lens, the successor to the highly regarded initial version of the lens. The body structure of the new lens has been enhanced to provide better durability and strength without a significant increase in weight (1490 grams compared to 1470 grams for the previous version).
Canon has improved the optical performance by redesigning the internal elements, incorporating a fluorite element and a fifth UD element to help minimize secondary chromatic aberrations and produce better image quality with improved contrast and resolution through the entire zoom range. The new lens design features improved auto focus speed due to a new focusing algorithm and a shorter minimum focusing distance of 3.9 feet (1.2 meters). It also features improved image stabilization allowing it to compensate for shutter speeds up to four steps slower than 1/focal length, a one step improvement over the previous lens model.
The new lens retains Canon's protective seals and fittings providing dust and water resistance. A new bayonet mount on the front of the lens includes a locking mechanism to ensure the supplied lens hood remains securely in place. Other improvements include a wider focusing ring and sleeker design achieved by reducing the thickness of any protruding elements such as the switch panel. The new lens is compatible with Canon's existing EF1.4X II and EF2X II Extenders as well as EF Extension Tubes and the 77mm Close-Up Lens 500D.
Pricing and availability
The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens is supplied with a detachable tripod collar, a reversible bayonet mount lens hood and a lens pouch. The new lens is scheduled to be delivered to U.S. dealers in April, at a price to be determined later.

Well, Hurricane/Tropical Storm/Extratropical Cyclone Sandy is currently beating the hell out of the mid-Atlantic, and apparently generating rain from Rock Hill, SC (about 75 miles to my north) all the way to Montreal. In Canada. That is a band about 820 miles wide. Earlier today, the heavy winds extended from Maine to South Carolina's northern border. Lower Manhattan appears to be underwater. It is all pretty epic.
In all of the screaming and shouting, though, I have heard little about the possible dangers this storm could pose to our economy. Or, for that matter, the global economy. The damages from this storm are going to be spectacular – perhaps the most expensive single event ever, including the Boxing Day Tsunami. I speculate this simply because the storm is hitting the enormously densely populated DC-to-Boston megapolis, which contains a heck of a lot of really expensive real estate (especially by global standards). Far worse storms and events have hit populated areas on this planet, but I am not aware of anything of this magnitude coming ashore in an area this densely populated with high value real estate. Assuming a good bit of this real estate is insured, the insurance industry – and more accurately the reinsurance industry – are looking down the barrel of a really, really bad day. I have no idea who is exposed to what in this event, but I am sure a lot of folks are checking balance sheets to make sure they are not about to have an unable-to-cover-their-exposure kind of day. There has been talk of this sort of problem in the reinsurance industry for a while, but the industry is pretty robust. Last year it took a spectacular (and record) $105 billion in insured losses. I have no idea if Sandy alone will get us there, but it is a single event that could produce a very significant fraction of that total loss record. Those kinds of costs, all at once, are very daunting.
I'm also starting to worry about everyone who did not have flood insurance – which, I am betting, is a lot of people. It costs extra, and many folks don't have money to spare, so they may have skimped. I doubt any state in Sandy's path can afford to have entire chunks of productive neighborhoods in such high-value areas be treated in the manner some wards in New Orleans have experienced – i.e. abandonment, bulldozing, etc. Which means somebody is going to have to step in and pay for reconstruction…which means public money, either in state or federal funds.
Finally, the NY Stock Exchange is down, possibly for days. It is screwing up global trading by creating a gap in the trading day – basically, instead of largely continuous trading, there is now a sort of down time where prices close for a while, then pop open again when the next major market opens. It is hard to know the trend in prices during those down periods, which is introducing a little extra uncertainty into markets at the moment. I wonder what that uncertainty is going to cost?
Thanks Sandy. Nice job.

By default, the Linux kernel build used in the many open source distributions is the normal/default kernel which doesn't support real time scheduling. If an embedded developer wants to compare the scheduling policies of Linux to a real time operating system it is more useful to compare RTOS performance to a version of Linux that does have real-time features.
Fortunately, in addition to this default kernel, there is also available a Real-time kernel version that supports a real-time scheduling policy. In this article and in the code examples that are included, the effort is made to compare the real time operations of standard and real-time Linux with normal RTOS operation and evaluate and take advantage of the differences and similarities.
Normal Linux kernel vs RTOS
Normal Linux Kernel is a preemptive kernel but not real time, of course. In most multithreading environments (also called multitasking), a preemptive kernel allows the thread that has higher priority to receive longer time on the processor. And, conversely a lower priority thread will have less time with the processor.
However, in the normal kernel, no particular thread can monopolize the services of the resident processor all the time, no matter what its priority. So, programs will never hang up even if an arbitrary thread of the program goes into a "forever loop."
Conversely, with almost any real time OS (such as FreeRTOS, Micrium uC/OS, and ThreadX), the kernel supports both preemption and real-time features. This means that a thread (also called a Task) can run forever and never stop if (1) it is not blocked by synchronized resource (I/O block, Mutex, Semaphore…) or (2) it isn't preempted by the threads which may have equal or higher priority.
Figure 1 below shows the differences between the thread scheduling policy of normal Linux and the thread scheduling policy of a RTOS. In Figure 1, we assume that Thread1 has priority 2 and is higher than Thread2 which has priority 1.
In the RTOS scheduler, Thread1, with higher priority, always runs. Thread2 with lower priority has never chance to run. By comparison the Normal Linux Scheduler does exactly the opposite, bringing up both Thread1 and Thread2 to run. Thread1 with higher priority will have longer time to run as compared with Thread2 which has lower priority.
on image to enlarge.
Figure 1. Real Time OS and normal Linux kernel scheduler
Real Time Linux kernel versus RTOS
In a real time kernel version of Linux, the scheduler has three (3) scheduling policies: Normal, FIFO and Round Robin.
In the Normal scheduling policy, a thread will be stopped (suspended) when one in three following conditions occurs:
1. It is blocked by an accessing synchronize resource (I/O block, mutex, semaphone…)
2. It volunteers to give up control of processor (call sleep() or pthread_yield()).
3. The Scheduler suspends the thread when its running time exhausted. The running time depends on each thread's priority, as noted in Figure 1.
Normal real time scheduling policy is same as the default scheduling policy of normal kernel as described earlier. With the FIFO scheduling policy, a thread will be stopped (suspended) when one in three following conditions occurs:
1. It is blocked by accessing synchronize resource (I/O block, mutex, semaphore...)
2. It is preempted by a higher priority thread.
3. It volunteers to give up control of processor (call sleep() or pthread_yield()).
In the Round Robin scheduling policy, a thread will be stopped (suspended) when one in four following conditions occurs:
1. It is blocked by accessing synchronize resource (I/O block, mutex, semaphore…)
2. Or it is preempted by a higher priority thread.
3. Or it volunteers to give up control of processor (call sleep() or pthread_yield()).
4. Or its Time slice expired.
(Most RTOSes embed Round Robin scheduling policy in their scheduler.)
In Figure 2 below, we have four situations: First, Thread1 and Thread2 are of equal priority and run using the FIFO policy. Second, Thread1 and Thread2 are of equal priority and run on the Round Robin policy. Third, priority of Thread1 is higher priority of Thread2 and they run using the FIFO policy. Fourth, the priority of Thread1 is higher priority of Thread2 and they run using the Round Robin policy.
We also assume that Thread1 starts first, then Thread2 starts later and during running time, Thread1and Thread2 don't make any system calls or are blocked by any synchronized resource (I/O, Mutex, Semaphore…). The result: the only differences that affect real time performance between the FIFO and Round Robin policies is when Thread1 and Thread2 have same priority.
on image to enlarge.
Figure 2. Real time Linux kernel scheduler
Conclusion: Viewed in this context, the typical RTOS scheduler is only a special case of real time Linux scheduler, or in other words, the RTOS scheduler is the real time Linux scheduler running with the Round Robin policy. (Some RTOSes allow configuration of the scheduler to run in a non-preemption mode. However this mode is seldom used.)
The examples included on Page 2 to 8 of this article show the different operation mechanisms of the real time Linux Scheduler in the context of this discussion. To download the source code for these examples, click here.
Important note: On the following pages, all of the examples are only correct when the program runs in CPU single core and in root permission. To enforce a thread/process so that it only runs in a particular core of the processor, we can do this via the function sched_setaffinity( ) which sets the process CPU affinity. The programs were tested in Real time Linux kernel version 3.0.17.
If you want to install Real Time Linux and test it out yourself, more information is on Page 9, along with some references you may wish to consult.
(Editor's Note: Any errors in the code listed on the following pages may have been introduced during the conversion process to ready it for online. If so, please contact me directly at firstname.lastname@example.com.)

THE HOLIDAYS ALL YEAR: It's hard to find Christmas in March or Halloween in June, but there is a place in Anaheim where it kind of feels like the holidays all year long. Maybe it is because Disneyland is a place devoted to deep nostalgia, and nostalgia and emotion and memory are very much connected to our own memories of holidays as kids. Maybe it is because you can always buy something a little Christmasy in the shops -- say, an ornament -- or that the Haunted Mansion is a year-round destination, not just an October thing. (Oh goodness; we just had to pause and catch our breath over that one! The very idea of only being able to see the Haunted Mansion during one month of the year is almost scarier than anything in the Mansion itself.) So when a holiday really comes long, it can feel like holiday frosting spread on a holiday cake. It's ultra-holiday-ish, is what we're saying, which is what fright-seeking fans -- fright of the fun sort, of course -- will find at the resort during the 2013 Halloween Time, which is on now through Oct. 31.
ON THE DASTARDLY DOCKET: The oh-so-sweet Mickey's Halloween Party is a year-in, year-out favorite, because of several reasons, yes, but these are near the top: trick-or-treating inside Disneyland. What? Right? Pure amazingness. That's a different ticket, note, but you do get into the park three hours ahead of the party. Also on the Halloween-y sked? Ghost Galaxy is back at Space Mountain -- creepy cosmos, oh no! -- and the Haunted Mansion is now in its "Nightmare Before Christmas" finery. Not too far off is a Dia de los Muertos display in Frontierland. Oh, the Disney villains are out, too, and so are hundreds of carved pumpkins around Main Street.
Here's a peek at this year's Haunted Mansion transformation. Seriously, we want to decorate it one year. You, too? Can you volunteer for that?

"I didn't know the rule (about) the clothes. I showered, and I took my own clothes, so I couldn't go out (on the bench)"
J.J. Adams: Showered Cap Erice comes clean at practice
When Jon Erice was absent from the Vancouver Whitecaps' bench in the second half of their Aug. 31 match against New York City FC, the murmurs and whisper machine kicked into high gear.
A rough first half, including a giveaway that led to New York's first goal, gave a boost to speculation regarding the status of the team's third highest paid player. Was he being sent a message? Was he sending one to the coaching staff? Had he left B.C. Place Stadium? Was there a rift in the locker room?
Erice came clean at training on Tuesday.
"I didn't know the rule (about) the clothes. I showered, and I took my own clothes, so I couldn't go out (on the bench)," the Spanish midfielder said, laughing.
"I watched the second half on the TV we have in the locker room."
Was there a controversy?
"No chance. Not with me, no," he said, smiling. "No chance."
Trailing 2-0 at halftime, the defensive midfielder was replaced by winger Michaell Chirinos, the footloose winger coming on as the Caps switched from a 4-3-3 to a 4-2-3-1 as they played catch-up. Yordy Reyna did pull a goal back as the Whitecaps pushed hard in the final 45 minutes, but the Caps ultimately fell 3-1, dropping to 6-15-9 on the season and being mathematically eliminated from the playoff race.
"We felt at 2-0 down we had to take a little more risk," coach Marc Dos Santos said after the game.
"And we know that probably with the course of the game, Jon would probably get a little bit tired because of the amount of ground and what he covered against Montreal, plus the trip, and he's not 18 years old right now. So because of that we felt that it was a sub that we would take a little bit more risk, go at the opponent and that's why we subbed him."
In the 2-1 loss to Montreal, Erice was efficient, leading the team in passes (91) on 90 per cent accuracy and adding three tackles, two interceptions and, most importantly, zero turnovers. Three nights and one hellacious travel day later, Erice was nowhere near as efficient, and lost the ball three times in key situations. On the first goal, he didn't see New York's Tony Rocha lurking behind him, allowing the Pigeons' midfielder to dispossess him. Two passes later, the ball was in the back of the net.
"I wasn't happy with my performance against New York," said Erice. "I didn't like it because I missed an easy ball on the first goal. I can't do that as a No. 6. I'm not the guy who loses those kinds of balls.
"I'm not allowed to do it as a No. 6 … but I made this mistake, and they scored. After, it was very tough for us."
This weekend's game against the visiting Houston Dynamo also poses a challenge for the Whitecaps.
Eight players had international duty the past two weeks — Doneil Henry, Derek Cornelius, Russell Teibert and Max Crepeau for Canada; Inbeom Hwang for South Korea; Ali Adnan for Iraq; Reyna for Peru and Chirinos for Honduras — and injuries have dogged the roster.
Crepeau (ankle) and Teibert (neck) returned home early and are day-to-day, while Erik Godoy, Jake Nerwinski and Victor "PC" Giro are also working their way back to full fitness.
The remaining international players are expected to trickle in over the next day or two, and fatigue is a concern, especially with Hwang, who sat out Korea's friendly last week and has been frank about the challenges of maintaining his energy levels.
Erice would slot in the starting 11 should Hwang not be recovered enough for game time, and acknowledged the difficulty ahead.
"We're working hard. We know that it's difficult with just eight, nine players, because we have some injured players. With nine players only, you can't work a lot of tactics for the next game," he said. "We are working hard also to be fit. Most of us don't play usually in the last month, and we need to be fit, we need to help the team in the next game."
There are just four games remaining for the Whitecaps, but thankfully three of them are home dates. When Erice played in Spain's Segunda División (Second Division), flights to games were a rarity, and happened no more than three times a year. It was four-hour bus trips, a hotel overnight, game the next day, then back home.
Like Hwang, he wasn't quite ready for the rigours of MLS travel.
"It's very different, the travel. I expected a big league here, because USA and Canada are very big countries. The worst thing is the (type of) travel we do, and I don't understand some things," he said, citing the three cities, three games and 14,000 kilometres covered in the last road trip. Facing a NYCFC team that was also well rested and hadn't played a Wednesday game also irked him.
"It's very tough, going from east to west. It's not an excuse … I just don't understand it very well. You play a disadvantage when you do that. In one or two games, it doesn't matter. But after six months of that … it costs points."

The soccer culture here has also been a big change. Despite the team's struggles to get results, fans have been polite and supportive to Erice, unlike the supporters at Real Oviedo, who displayed anti-Erice tifo and confronted him in public during a 2017 season that saw them finish eighth in La Liga 2.
There is also the heighten emotions and volatility that come with playing in a system that risks relegation, as opposed to the MLS structure.
"It's very different. In Spain, usually when you're … bottom of the table, you're fighting against relegation. And that's very hard," said Erice, echoing the sentiments of Caps minority owner Steve Nash.
"You're playing with your contract, with your family's money, with your life, because you can go to another (lower) division. You play with a lot of pressure.
"Sometimes I miss it, because (here), you know you're not going to second division. In the position we are now, in the last position in the Western Conference, fans are really polite. That's different from Spain. When you're in this position in Spain, you have to be … so careful what you say, what you do in your life, because they feel the club is part of their lives. And they can feel that if you're there (and playing badly), it's very bad for them. So they put a lot of pressure on you."

As Chicago teachers enter day two of their massive strike, parents and students are struggling with unexpected days off. NBC's Kevin Tibbles reports.
CHICAGO – Felicia O'Connor, a young mother with a child in tow, approached the picket line. She asked the picketing teachers if they "know how long this thing will be going on?"
She leaves for work each day before the sun comes up and said she was unaware of the late night Sunday decision by the Chicago teachers' union to hit the bricks.
Now she is stuck with trying to sort out childcare for her 6- year-old daughter, Michaela. She didn't get an answer to her question from the teachers.
"They don't know anything. I don't know anything. We're just out here blank and I have to go to work," O'Connor said.
She wound up leaving her daughter in good hands at a local Boys and Girls Club for a few hours while she went out, in vain, in search of a day care. She's already missed one day of work and hopes her employers will show some understanding.
"Education is important. If my child is not in school, getting the education she needs, you know what… I don't know, it is just irritating right now," she said.
Parents in Chicago, like Felicia O'Connor seen above, scrambled to find accommodations for their kids after 26,000 teachers and support staff walked out in the nation's third-largest school district. NBC's Kevin Tibbles reports.
Picking sides
Two days into this work stoppage by the city's third largest school district, and one finds folks starting to choose sides.
Chicago teachers strike day two: Talks stuck on evaluations
"I haven't had a raise in seven years," said one middle-aged woman who walked past me as I stood watching teachers march outside the headquarters of the Chicago School Board. "They're already making more money than I am."
"I support the teachers because I support my kids," said a young mother who stood and watched teachers march for a few minutes. "My daughter was in a class with more than 35 kids last year; this year it is up to 41."
About 26,000 teachers and support staff launched a strike on Monday morning – all dressed in bright red t-shirts and carrying placards – demanding a new contract between the teacher's union and the city's school district.
Other parents complained about a lack of school supplies or decent air conditioning for their kids on sweltering Chicago days.
One can likely assume the longer this thing drags on, the more entrenched each side is going to get. "Day One" of the strike came with a bit of a party atmosphere. By "Day Two" on Tuesday, teachers had already started fingering the mayor and chanting, "Hey Hey Ho Ho Rahm Emanuel has got to go."
NBC Chicago's LIVE Blog: Chicago Teachers Strike
In Chicago, 26,000 teachers and support staff walked out in the nation's third-largest school district after a weekend of unsuccessful eleventh-hour contract negotiations between the Chicago Teachers Union and Chicago's public schools. NBC's Rehema Ellis reports.
Bigger city issues
Parents also have other concerns that are more a reflection of the city we live in. This has been a particularly deadly year on the streets of Chicago, with the homicide rate up about 30 percent from what it was a year ago. The overwhelming majority of the dead are young minorities. To give kids a "safe haven" during the strike, several churches have opened their doors.
"There's so much violence skyrocketing in the city of Chicago. We want our kids to be in a safe place," said Sergio Ramirez, who runs a "safe haven" in the city's Pilsen neighborhood.
Some 80 percent of kids in Chicago's schools are provided with breakfast and lunch at school because they come from impoverished backgrounds. The job of teaching here, and administering an education system, has many more challenges than just ensuring kids are learning the 3Rs.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- When Christopher Guzman, assistant professor of music, won the 10th Concours International de Piano d'Orléans (Orléans International Piano Competition) in 2012, he won more than international recognition for himself as a pianist. He gained international visibility for Penn State, thanks to a November 2013 tour of France and a CD — released this month — produced as part of his prize.
The Concours International de Piano d'Orléans, held every two years and one of the most prestigious music competitions in Europe, emphasizes the performance of modern music. "My CD project was to cover German and Austrian composers from the Second Viennese School — the first group of composers to systematically compose music without a tonal center, otherwise known as atonal music — through today," Guzman explains.
He selected works by Jörg Widmann, Peter Ablinger, Arnulf Herrmann, Wolfgang Rihm, Hans Werner Henze, Karlheinz Stockhausen and Anton Webern. Thanks to a grant from Penn State's Institute for the Arts and Humanities, he was able to meet with three of the composers: Widmann, Ablinger and Herrmann; in Germany before recording their pieces.
"I would not normally have the chance to play for these composers, and I am extremely grateful to the institute for the grant that allowed me to go play for them before my recording," he said. "Since these works were going to be on record, I wanted to make sure that I was coming as close to the composers' intentions as possible."
According to Guzman, Widmann, at age 40, has already established himself as one of the great composers of his generation. While arranging a meeting was challenging — Widmann does not use email and Guzman was not given his phone number, so he had to go through the composer's manager — it was worth it.
"My lesson with him was almost like a fantasy — I hadn't been inspired musically like this in such a long time," Guzman noted. "Practically, he helped me with some revisions to the score that hadn't made it to the printed edition, which was invaluable for the production of the recording."
Guzman performed the works on the CD when he toured Paris and the Loire Valley in late 2013, giving masterclasses and recitals in 10 cities. "In total, I performed for about 1,300 people, and taught about 70 students, a huge promotional tour for me and great international publicity for Penn State."
Guzman, who joined the Penn State faculty in 2011, trained at the Juilliard School, as well as the New England Conservatory in Boston and the University of Texas at Austin. His performances have brought him to some of the world's finest halls, including London's Wigmore Hall, New York's Carnegie Hall and Avery Fisher Hall, Tokyo's Suntory Hall, the Seoul Arts Center and Leipzig's historic Gewandhaus, among others.

Many estimators in today's market attempt to bid any and all projects regardless of the type of work. The company's need to secure work can cause some estimators to lose sight of one of the primary goals of an educated bid—understanding the true cost of a project as it relates to their company.
Unfortunately, the true cost for one company to complete a project may not be the same as the true cost for another company. Work force productivity, project experience, capital equipment, tooling, facilities and management capabilities are just some of the things that create true cost differences between electrical contracting companies. The simple fact is the estimator must know, with total objectivity, the anticipated true costs for his or her company to perform the contract he or she is bidding. Preparing the bid price without knowing this true cost is purely an exercise in guesswork.
The major components of the true cost of a project can be categorized as material, labor, direct job costs and company overhead. The estimator must analyze each of these costs and consider their actual effect as if his or her company has been awarded the contract.
Bid documents normally specify the type and quality of the material required for a project, and the estimator is responsible for determining the quantity of material. Since quality and quantity of material are established in the estimate, fluctuating cost is the one condition that could create variations in total cost. If a bid on a project is successful, the copper wire may not be needed for several months, but the estimate being prepared today must include the cost for this wire. In an effort to prepare a competitive bid, the estimator must analyze the most likely conditions and apply them to the material's pricing in the estimate. Will copper prices double in six months, or will they decline? How will he or she address this possible fluctuation in the bid being submitted?
The true cost of labor is the most challenging component for the estimator to determine and is the most common category that can separate one company's costs from another. Two individuals will never perform the same task at the same pace. Likewise, no two companies will perform similar projects at the same pace. The key element for the estimator is to recognize the true performance capabilities of his or her company's work force and calculate the estimate accordingly. There is a tremendous opportunity for the company possessing the most productive work force to estimate a labor cost below the competition's and bid a project at a lower price while still covering true cost.
Direct job expenses
In the performance of a construction project, there always are operational costs that the contractor must pay, and the estimate must include these costs. These costs directly relate to the contract's performance and are usually spelled out in the bid documents. They may include items such as building permits, additional insurance, tools and equipment, and other costs directly related to the contract's performance. This component of the estimate can also result in different costs for each bidding contractor. The estimator is responsible for analyzing and accounting for all of these true costs and making them part of the estimate. The company that must rent a piece of equipment to perform the work on a project must include the rental rate in the estimate. However, the company that owns the equipment may need to include only the cost for maintaining and operating the equipment. These two costs could differ significantly, making the gross cost for one contractor higher than the other.
Overhead may be the most misunderstood and ignored cost in the entire estimate. Sadly, the approach some estimators take when estimating a highly competitive bid is to cut overhead allocation. However, each contracting company exists because of overhead. If a company makes no overhead, there is no company. In simple terms, it is the amount of money required for the contracting company to deliver a service to the customer. If a company does not bill and collect enough money to pay all elements, including overhead, of a project's true cost, the company will not be able to survive. As with the other costs listed above, overhead may vary from one company to the next, and the estimator must understand its importance and allow for this cost in the estimate.
When preparing competitive bids, estimators cannot afford to rely on guesswork in calculating true costs but must know with certainty the true costs that their company will incur if it is awarded the contract. Armed with those true costs and adding what may be a modest profit should provide estimators with the most competitive bid that their company can submit. A lower bid could lose the company money. A competing contractor may submit a lower bid, but based on the best analysis of your company's true costs, you will have determined your most competitive bid price.

Yaralla Place future in limbo as LNP hints at sell off
THE Newman government is prepared to lobby the local health board to sell off a state-run nursing home in Maryborough.
Yaralla Place is a 96 bed facility and one of eight state-run homes the Bligh government considered selling in 2009.
Now, in a bold political bluff, Health Minister Lawrence Springborg has indicated he is prepared to resurrect the sale of Yaralla if he gets Labor support to do so.
The gambit is seen as an attempt to defuse attacks by Federal Treasurer Wayne Swan.
Mr Swan is critical of a health board decision to close two units at the state-run Eventide Aged Care Home in Brisbane.
Eventide is in Mr Swan's Brisbane electorate and the treasurer has helped organise several protests against the closure.
A protest march against the pruning of Eventide is expected to be held in Brisbane today.
Mr Springborg said yesterday if he had Mr Swan's support he was prepared to lobby Wide Bay Health and Hospital Board, among other boards, to sell Yaralla Place in line with what he called past Labor policy.
"This sub-standard state-run accommodation is a Labor product," Mr Springborg said.
"To satisfy Mr Swan and a phalanx of Labor candidates, I am ready to adopt the Labor solution."
"The Deputy Opposition Leader, Tim Mulherin, was in the Bligh Labor Cabinet when it designed this policy and can brief Mr Swan prior to its implementation."
Other facilities Mr Springborg said he would consider selling off if there was bipartisan support included care homes in Townsville, Rockhampton, Zillmere Wynnum and Charters Towers.
Deputy Opposition Leader Tim Mulherin said yesterday that Mr Springborg was preparing to slash state-run beds for the aged.
"Just weeks before Christmas Mr Springborg has thrown the lives of many elderly and frail, aged Queenslanders and their families into turmoil by announcing the sale of these facilities," Mr Mulherin said.
"To add insult to injury Mr Springborg made the announcement in a bizarre press release blaming the decision on everyone except himself.
"The simple fact is Mr Springborg is transferring these eight facilities from state care into the private sector, the buck stops with him and he should take responsibility for his callous decisions."
Springborg v Swan
Health Minister Lawrence Springborg challenged Federal MP Wayne Swan to choose between a Labor policy from three years ago or support any decisions on state-run nursing homes made by the local hospital boards.
The three-year-old policy would see up to eight homes, including Maryborough's Yaralla Place, sold to private enterprise.
