The Joint Strike Fighter (JSF) program--a multinational acquisition program for the Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and eight cooperative international partners--is the Department of Defense's (DOD) most expensive aircraft acquisition program. DOD currently estimates it will spend $623 billion to develop, procure, and operate and support the JSF fleet. The JSF aircraft, which includes a variant design for each of the services, represents 90 percent of the remaining planned investment for DOD's major tactical aircraft programs. In fiscal year 2004, the JSF program was rebaselined to address technical challenges, cost increases, and schedule overruns. This report--the third mandated by Congress--describes the program's progress in meeting cost, schedule, and performance goals since rebaselining and identifies various challenges the program will likely face in meeting these goals in the future.
The JSF program has delivered and flown the first development aircraft. However, cost and schedule goals established in the fiscal year 2004 rebaselined program have not been met. Total JSF program acquisition costs (through 2027) have increased by $31.6 billion and now DOD will pay 12 percent more per aircraft than expected in 2004. The program has also experienced delays in several key events, including the start of the flight test program, delivery of the first production representative development aircraft, and testing of critical missions systems. Delays in the delivery of initial development aircraft were driven by incomplete engineering drawings, changes in design, manufacturing inefficiencies, and parts shortages. Despite these delays, the program still plans to complete development in 2013, compressing the amount of time available for flight testing and development activities. Also, the program projects it will meet all but one key performance requirement--line of sight communications--that is currently dependent on other capabilities being developed outside the JSF program. Accurately predicting JSF costs and schedule and ensuring sufficient funding will likely be key challenges facing the program in the future. JSF continues to pursue a risky acquisition strategy that concurrently develops and produces aircraft. While some concurrency may be beneficial to efficiently transition from development to production, the degree of overlap is significant on this program. Any changes in design and manufacturing that require modifications to delivered aircraft or to tooling and manufacturing processes would result in increased costs and delays in getting capabilities to the warfighter. Low-rate initial production will begin this year with almost the entire 7-year flight test program remaining to confirm the aircraft design. Confidence that investment decisions will deliver expected capability within cost and schedule goals increases as testing proves the JSF will work as expected. The JSF program also faces funding uncertainties as it will demand unprecedented funding over the next 2 decades--more than $12.6 billion a year on average through 2027.
Recommendation for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: DOD restructured the JSF program in March 2010. Because of cost increases, continuing delays in manufacturing and testing aircraft, and attendant risks, one of the major decisions was to reduce low rate procurement quantities by 122 aircraft over the next 5 years. We believe DOD's actions to slow the program's production ramp rate by reducing the number of aircraft it plans to buy over the next five years is in line with the intent of our recommendation of reducing the risks of making production commitments prior to demonstrating through flight testing that the aircraft works as intended. While DOD is buying 30 aircraft in fiscal year 2010, by the end of year the program will have tested the basic flying qualities of all three variants. The production risks in subsequent years has been reduced by DOD's actions as the program now plans more time to complete testing before it significantly increasing its production rate. This should improve the program's chances for a successful outcome.
Recommendation: To improve chances of a successful outcome, the Secretary of Defense should limit annual low-rate initial production quantities to no more than 24 aircraft per year, the current manufacturing capacity, until each variant's basic flying qualities have been demonstrated in flight testing now scheduled in the 2010 time frame.

I'm not opposed to eBooks, in the same way I'm not opposed to candy bars. But candy bars are not real chocolate. Nor great food.
They're there to evoke a sense of possibility and grace about what it means to be human. eBooks really, really don't do this well.
Books aren't just there to dully consume. They're there to inspire, challenge, infuriate, and free us. eBooks don't do this well.
Furthermore, when I see a stack of books I've read, I remember and connect the ideas in different ways. Doesn't happen with eBooks.
When I read a real book, I flip back and forth, I connect ideas, I dogear, I (literally) feel. eBooks make all this harder.
Like I said last night. "Let them eat eBooks" isn't an expression of value or fairness; it's precisely the opposite.
My point isn't that ebooks don't have a place. But just because they're called "ebooks". doesn't make them a replacement for...books.
The beef's horse. The tuna's 80% some fish that causes oily anal leakage. What do you think the ebooks will end up being?
RT @OrwellUpgraded: @flamsmark @umairh In Soviet Russia ebooks read you. I want to read books, not have them read me. Paper does this well.
.@sbspalding I agree with you. But "Let them read Ebooks" also seems to me to be a convenient way to dehumanize the poor.
LOL, my dad just read my tweets about ebooks and said "Come on, you're an archconservative!! You're just like John Boehner!!".
The other thing I note is that the physical books in my library trigger thoughts and memories when I just see them. Ebooks, never.
One day, there won't be with drone sex, either. So? RT @frobot: .@umairh There's no material loss of fidelity with most ebooks.
I'm not saying ebooks don't have their place. But they're like horseburgers. Not a substitute for the real thing.
Books aren't meant o be "easy". That's the point. RT @thinktankkv: @umairh ebooks are better as they make the process easier.
Ebooks are to books what digital audio is to vinyl. Missing the point, devaluing the purpose.
Just because marketers came up with the word "ebooks" doesn't mean they have much in common with...books.

About us
Technology and financial services get simpler
This article uses case-studies of Philips and Old Mutual to show how simplicity can impact on brand, business and product strategy.
The reason that the technology and financial-services sectors (among others) are embracing simplicity as a brand positioning is obvious: who hasn't been put off by the small print and jargon of an insurance quotation? Who hasn't bought a technical product and struggled to install or use it?
Companies are recognising that simplicity is a powerful concept, especially in an environment where consumers, tired of endless choices, are searching for ways to save time and energy.
For the technology industry, the concept of simplicity is both essential and risky:
It is essential because new technologies are unfamiliar – which inherently makes them complex. This, coupled with media convergence as well as increased accessibility of technology, means that complexity can become a very real barrier to buying.
In 2002, a poll run by the Consumer Electronic Association showed that 87% of people said ease of use was the most important factor when it comes to new technologies (Tischler, 2005). According to Philips research (2004), around 30% of home-networking products are returned because people can't get them to work. And 48% of people they spoke to had put off buying a digital camera because they see them as complicated.
Simplicity is also risky: simple products may be perceived of as the opposite of innovative.
We often see brands based on features and functions of technology rather than on user needs. This is because there is often no longer an incremental cost for each new feature to be added ¬– so companies feel that they have to add more and more features – and aggressively market them - just to keep up with the competitors.
Can technology companies reap the rewards of simplicity without becoming prey to these risks? Two of the world's most successful technology brands – Philips and Google – show us how.
--Gerard Kleisterlee, CEO Philips, Consumer Electronics Show, Las Vegas, 2004
According to the Chairman of Philips South Africa, Ian Murdoch, it was a piece of branding research that catalysed an entirely new brand positioning. The research led to Philips having to face up to a serious problem: its brand did not have a clear value proposition. Its leaders asked themselves: What is Philips really about? On hearing the brand name, what concept should appear in the consumers' minds?
It took over 1 500 interviews with people from the UK, the US, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil, China and Hong Kong to come up with simplicity as their definitive answer. www.philips.com reads:
Since the launch of the Sense and Simplicity campaign, Philips has moved from 65 to 53 in the Interbrand and Business Week study.
What is most impressive about the sense and sensibility campaign is its strategic framework: For the 'new' Philips, every product, every patent, every business initiative must pass through these filters before it sees the light of day.
Filter one: Designed around the user. The design concept must originate from what Philips calls a 'Consumer Insight' (and not from the minds of its designers or marketers). The designer 'co-designs' with all stakeholders, including the user.
Filter two: Easy to experience. The focus is on the entire experience, rather than a narrow set of features. Packaging is as important as the product itself.
Filter three: Advanced. For Philips, simple really does mean smart - a concept that is simple but does not make use of advanced technology, will probably remain just a concept.
So how does Philips ensure that these filters are applied? It has its very own 'simplicity police': an independent Simplicity Advisory Board comprised of simplicity experts in fields from computing to architecture to fashion design.
Despite, or perhaps because, Google uses some of the most advanced technology concepts in the world, its website proclaims the benefits of 'focusing on the user and all else will follow'.
Its corporate profile boasts of refusing to make any changes that do not benefit users. Above all else, this applies to one of the most valuable pieces of real-estate in the world: the Google home page. Even if it would benefit shareholders to put advertising on the interface, Google puts its energy into keeping the interface clear and simple. According to an article in Fast Company (Tischler, 2005),for Google, less is more. It offers six services on its home page. MSN promotes more than 50, and Yahoo, over 60.
Marissa Mayer who is responsible for the Google home page says:
Simplicity creates a relationship between Philips' three product groups: healthcare, lifestyle and technology. So, for example, healthcare can interlock with lifestyle through the application of simplicity as happens with HeartStart – a defibrillator designed so anyone can use it without any specialist training.
Murdoch claims, ''thanks to simplicity, we have a clearer global strategy now than we've had in 30 years''. The brand positioning is used as a framework for growth plans, and also for streamlining processes and merging business units into what is now called 'One Philips'.
In South Africa, a number of financial services companies have incorporated the concept of simplicity into their positioning. The short-term insurance industry, from Auto & General to OUTsurance has boasted of plain language in its advertising and delivered it in its policy documents.
The long-term insurance industry has been slower off the mark. However, in the last year, both Old Mutual and Liberty Life have introduced simplicity into their brand mix.
As with technology, there is both a benefit and a risk associated with positioning an insurance brand around simplicity.
The benefit is shown in research that proves that small print, jargon and complex products alienate many consumers from financial services brands. The risk is to go against the conventions of an industry that has traditionally included highly-complex products, and communications focused more on legalities and internal requirements than customer needs.
Candice Burt is a plain-language attorney and co-founder of Simplied, a consultancy that helps organisations simplify their communications. She points out:
Like Philips, Old Mutual says that it was its research findings that persuaded it to incorporate simplicity into its brand: the research showed that customers found financial services to be complex and shrouded in an air of mystery. Customers could understand neither the language used in the industry, nor the terms and benefits of the products. In fact, complexity of its offerings was highlighted as one of the major causes for mistrust.
Industry research backs up Old Mutual's findings. According to Markinor's recent customer loyalty survey (Second Annual Financial Services Loyalty Survey, Markinor, 2006), across all sectors, ease of understanding or use of the product is one of the top drivers of loyalty. And an easy-to-understand policy document is the top factor in the long-term insurance sector.
Stephen Cahill, General Manager of Marketing at Old Mutual, says that the positioning reflects Old Mutual's goal to ''demystify money matters in the minds of customers, not only through the way in which we communicate, but also in the range of products and services that we offer''.
The Everyday Account is a specific effort to express the theme of simplicity in the banking sphere. The customer brochure boasts of ''simplifying your banking charges – and your life''. It is well-known that life insurance is one of the more complex financial services products – the Greenlight brochure attempts to explain the basics in a summarised, plain English form.
Does simplicity appeal to all customers in the same way?
According to Old Mutual, pre and post-campaign testing has shown that the positioning appeals across the income spectrum, to both corporate and retail customers.
Philips is on a massive drive to introduce its simplicity campaign into emerging markets. Various 'simple' products developed for specific markets have already been launched; for example a blender developed for the Indian market has heavy-duty blades and motors to grind seeds for spices. It also has a discrete attachment so the user doesn't have to hold the lid in place while the blender is on.
Closer to home, Philips is exploring low-power solutions for lighting in townships by using advanced LED technology.
However, even if the notion of simplicity applies equally to different target markets, the perception of how important it is – or what exactly it is – is unlikely to be the same. Sometimes the reality is counter-intuitive. Candice Burt points out that in her experience it is often the more educated, higher-income sector that demand simplicity in written communications more than the less educated, lower-income sector.
The brands mentioned in this article have sophisticated views of what simplicity is: to them, simplicity goes beyond principles of plain speaking or usability heuristics.
Simplicity starts with a rich understanding of the user and reflects not only usability but also experiential factors.
Although simplicity is far more intrinsic to the Philips brand positioning than to that of Old Mutual for example, both companies claim that the concept has gone far beyond an advertising campaign or even a brand evolution: it has gone right into the heart of their business philosophies. What they need to explore next are the subtleties of how different market segments perceive the concept of simplicity.

Justin Bieber and gal pal Selena Gomez had a sweet little date night Saturday in Midtown.
They were at Hudson Grille's Midtown location to watch Floyd Mayweather and Victor Ortiz mix it up. Usher was there as well. (Serving as chaperone perhaps? )
Usher and Bieber both performed Saturday at the Georgia Music Hall of Fame awards show at the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. Selena was ushered in right before her man took the stage with some friends. There's a photo of the happy trio from the comprehensive Bieber fan site http://www.justinbieberzone.com.
Here's a very blurry photo of her, in the middle of the three young ladies cheering for the Biebs. Thanks to reader Laura Pitsikoulis for sending this to us!
Oh, speaking of "Money" Mayweather, we once ran into him in the InterContinental Hotel valet line. We were waiting to leave when Mayweather's entourage pulled up. They were hard to miss, with Mayweather's photo and logos plastered on the exterior of the SUVs.
While his people unloaded a mountain of gear Mayweather sort of paced around muttering to himself. We left without saying hi. Seemed like he needed a moment to himself.
Anyway, back to more recent star sightings.
Dennis Quaid feels right at home in Atlanta. He stars in the "Footloose" remake that was filmed here last year and comes out Oct. 14. Now he's here working on "What to Expect When You're Expecting," the movie starring Jennifer Lopez, Cameron Diaz, Chris Rock and a ton of other names.
Dennis strolled into Northside Tavern Thursday night and just jammed with the band for a while. He played guitar and piano and had a good time hanging out with the crowd. Neat, huh?
Speaking of "What To Expect When You're Expecting" they have been filming all over the place. Last week they filmed a scene with Brooklyn Decker at Chops in Buckhead. She and her husband, tennis star Andy Roddick, dined for fun at Spice Market last week.
Celeb chef Gordon Ramsay has been in town filming an episode of his show Kitchen Nightmares. We can only imagine the trauma he induced among the staff there but we'll have to wait for the show to see the havoc he wreaked.
Once he was done screaming at the hapless employees Ramsay was spotted dining at a couple of local spots, Rosebud and The Family Dog. Reports are that he is actually very nice and normal in person.
R&B star Janelle Monae performed Thursday at the opening of the newly rebranded Renaissance Atlanta Midtown Hotel, formerly known as the Hotel Palomar Atlanta.
And local cookbook author and Food Network personality Alton Brown has been spotted a couple of times now at Chicken and the Egg, a popular new farm-to-table spot in Marietta.
He's back on Twitter, by the way, after signing off in a huff last month when some nutcase started impersonating his wife.
Y'all be sweet, and maybe he'll stick around this time.

'Liberty or death' rallied colonists to war
With the possible exception of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, perhaps no historical event stirs the imagination or fires the patriotism of schoolchildren as does Patrick Henry's "Liberty or Death" speech.
But while Revere's ride was important, Henry's speech in 1775 was a genuine turning point in American history, providing the impetus that helped set the colonies on the road to revolution.
Delivered at St. John's Church in what was then Henrico Parish, the speech rallied a crowd that was inclined to delay confrontation with Great Britain and convinced the members to approve Henry's call to arms.
"Henry combined an actor's flair with a preacher's fervor," writes Henry Mayer in his biography of Henry, A Son of Thunder. "[A]nd he evoked a rapport with ordinary folks that changed the face of Virginia's – and later, America's – politics."
Less than a month after the speech, the "shot heard round the world" was fired at Lexington, Mass. Thanks in no small part to Henry, the Virginians had a militia organized and stood ready to lead the colonies in the fight for independence.
Because of Henry's speech, St. John's Church (now located within the City of Richmond) is today a National Historic Landmark and a treasured symbol of the birth of American liberty. And as Henrico Parish – like Henrico County – marks its 400th anniversary this year, St. John's will welcome an estimated 40,000 visitors into the church to view the hallowed site of Henry's address to the Second Virginia Convention.
Guests who are fortunate enough to visit during one of the popular re-enactment programs will have the opportunity to hear the immortal words spoken as Patrick Henry might have spoken them, and to experience for themselves the electrifying effect that Henry had on the crowd in 1775 – an effect that ranks the "Liberty or Death" speech No. 3 on the Henrico Citizen's list of the most significant events in Henrico's 400-year history.
Preaching to the choir
Patrick Henry developed his oratorical skills at a young age, and in an unlikely venue: atop the driver's seat of a carriage.
As a teenager, Henry drove his mother and sisters in the carriage to Polegreen Church, where they heard the preaching of the gifted orator Samuel Davies.
On the long carriage rides back from Polegreen, Henry's mother – a devout follower of Reverend Davies – would demand that young Patrick repeat the substance of his sermons. Henry studied Davies' rhetoric intently and adopted much of his style; years later, he told his biographer that Davies was the greatest speaker he had ever heard and
that Davies had taught him what it was to be an orator.
After he became a lawyer, Henry began earning a reputation not only for oratory, but also for his resistance to British rule. Elected to the House of Burgesses in 1765, he led the opposition to the Stamp Act and proposed Virginia's Stamp Act Resolutions.
Author and scholar Jon Kukla, who is working on a book about Henry and the revolution, points out that Patrick Henry was denouncing the king as a tyrant at least a decade before the likes of Adams, Jefferson or even Thomas Paine had spoken out publicly.
"Without Henry's leadership in Virginia," says Kukla, "the American colonies would not have united in opposition to the Stamp Act."
'Let me be buried'
As preparations for the Second Virginia Convention got underway in 1775, tensions between Virginia and Great Britain were worsening, and delegates decided to move the meeting from Williamsburg to the Henrico Parish Church to avoid interference from Governor Dunmore.
Henry presented resolutions to mobilize for military action, but the more cautious House members preferred a wait-and-see attitude. After listening to a number of arguments for delay, Henry took the floor seeking to dispel any notion that the colonists could still achieve peace through submission to the crown.
The war had already begun, Henry told his audience, which included such notables as George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Richard Henry Lee.
"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery?" he concluded. "Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
According to accounts of the event, the speech initially met with stunned silence. But William Wirt, who wrote the first biography of Henry, notes that the speech was also followed by cries of, "To arms! To arms!"
It was Wirt who collected oral testimony from convention eyewitnesses and reconstructed the speech as we know it today. But because Wirt's biography was published in 1817, some historians have expressed doubt about the speech's accuracy.
While Kukla acknowledges that there was no stenographer present to transcribe the speech, he points out that the ideas expressed are clearly in line with thoughts and opinions that Henry had voiced before.
What's more, says Kukla, "People in that time had a much better capacity to memorize and retain speeches like that." Listeners were deeply affected by the speech as well, and therefore more likely to take the words to heart or commit them to memory.
"On the whole," says Kukla, "I'm one of the historians inclined to regard it as a good approximation. That's as close as you're going to get in an era that didn't have tape recorders."
Among the deeply affected listeners was a young delegate named Edward Carrington, who was unable to get a seat inside the church due to the multitudes that flocked to St. John's and surrounded the building hoping to hear the debate. Carrington maneuvered his way to an open window, however, and was able to hear Henry's declaration.
As the closing words rang out, Carrington was so overcome with emotion that he exclaimed, "Let me be buried at this spot!"
After his death in 1810, Carrington's family adhered to his wish.
"That tells us," Kukla says, "how much impact the speech had."
The first American?
Centuries before the advent of television, "liberty or death" quickly became the sound bite of its era. The phrase was immensely popular, says Kukla, and even was adopted as a motto by militiamen in Culpeper, who inscribed it on their flag along with the "Don't Tread on Me" rattlesnake.
In modern times, the phrase has served as a mantra for revolutionary movements in countries around the globe; in 1989, for example, it was displayed by Chinese students on a bed sheet in Tiananmen Square.
In the immediate aftermath of the speech, Henry's remarks predicting that the "next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms" turned out to be remarkably prescient. Within the month, Great Britain moved to disarm the rebellious colonists, conducting raids on powder magazines in Massachusetts and, three days later, in Virginia.
Kukla does not find it at all surprising that Henry predicted the conflict in Lexington. "He very frequently, at these critical times, had his finger on the pulse of events," says Kukla, citing the Stamp Act speech and Henry's earlier Parson's Cause speech.
When Henry responded to Lord Dunmore's raid on the Williamsburg magazine by leading a force of 500 militia to reclaim the powder, Lord Dunmore issued a proclamation declaring that "Patrick Henry . . . and his deluded Followers" were outlaws and rebels.
While Patrick Henry enjoyed many distinctions, Kukla likes to point out that Dunmore's proclamation conferred an honor that often goes unrecognized: Henry was the first American formally accused of rebellion. In other words, says Kukla, we can in one sense consider Henry the first American.
It would be another year, notes Kukla, before the Second Continental Congress would reach a unanimous vote for independence. But the war actually began that summer of 1775, with the uprisings at Bunker Hill. And the resistance, says Kukla, had begun well before that – with Patrick Henry and Virginia at the thrust of it.
If not for the support of leaders such as Henry, beginning with the Stamp Act in 1765, the northern colonies could not have held on during the pre-revolution decade, says Kukla. The British could have easily isolated New England, he believes, and stopped the revolution in its tracks.
"Patrick Henry stood at the heart of the American resistance to king and parliament that gave birth to the American Revolution," says Kukla.
And Henry's speech, which Kukla calls "a pivotal moment in the transition from peaceful resistance to the Revolutionary War," did not merely inspire a single revolution or war for independence. As indicated on the St. John's Church Foundation website, the "liberty or death" legacy continues to inspire revolutionary movements in far-flung places and modern times.
"[Henry's] phrase," the website notes, "remains as recognizable today as 'I have a dream' or 'Four score and seven years ago.'"

Henricus Historical Park to host Publick Day Sept. 20
Citizen Staff Reports 09/15/2014
Henricus Historical Park will commemorate its anniversary during Publick Day, a signature annual event that celebrates the establishment of the second successful English settlement in the New World. In September 1611, Sir Thomas Dale, along with soldiers, tradesmen and farmers, ventured from Jamestown to create the Citie of Henricus. Leaders of Henricus developed the first English hospital, chartered the first college in North America, established tobacco as the first cash crop in Virginia, and created a place where Pocahontas lived and met John Rolfe.
Publick Day will take place Saturday, Sept. 20, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Admission is free and parking is $5 per vehicle. > Read more.

When the cliche stands tall
Inspirational football movie tries too hard for its own good
When the Game Stands Tall is based on a true story – an unbelievable true story that takes the word "inspiring" about as far as it can go.
It's a film about Bob Ladouceur, coach of the De La Salle High Spartans, a California high school football team with 12 consecutive undefeated seasons (a staggering 151 games won in a row).
Along the way, Ladouceur (played by Jim Caviezel) faced the kind of hardship most football coaches (thankfully) can only imagine – suffering a near-fatal heart attack, the death of a star player, and rebuilding the team after that 151-game streak came to a humiliating end. > Read more.

Wi-Fi more addictive than coffee?
Could Wi-Fi be more addictive than coffee? With Wi-Fi chipset sales poised to reach 300 million units this year, the Wi-Fi Alliance and In-Stat think it just may be. According to Karen Hanley, senior director at the Wi-Fi Alliance, responses to a series of consumer studies conducted by the non-profit indicated that 80% of consumers would rather give up their coffee before forgoing a wireless connection. While not a reason to run to the doctor, consumers responses are indicative of a larger trend: Wi-Fis growing prevalence in the industry.
Industry News
Briefing Room
The wireless technologys strength in PCs, combined with growth in phones and consumer electronics, is projected to propel the industry past 700 million units in 2011, with consumer electronics and phones exceeding notebook computers in the total number of shipments.
There is a familiarity, and its becoming more and more prolific and pervasive, Hanley said.
Total shipments of Wi-Fi enabled products have experienced year-over-year growth. In 2005, 161 million units were shipped, up from 105 million in 2004. The following year they grew to 213 million and shipments in 2007 peaked at 300 million. While growth of Wi-Fi PCs remains strong, with 46% of laptops currently being Wi-Fi enabled, the areas experiencing the most growth were consumer electronics and Wi-Fi cellular phones.
The growth of this market continues to be very strong, said Karen Hanley, senior director for the Wi-Fi Alliance. It continues to have quite a bright future, and the proliferation of Wi-Fi into a broader set of devices is really fueling this growth.
According to the report, Wi-Fi connectivity was included on virtually all gaming devices and an increasing number of handsets and music players this year. Hanley said that sales of new higher-throughput products were boosted to 9% of total shipments due in large part to the June 2007 introduction of certification for products based upon 802.11n draft 2.0. She said that with more than 350 million Wi-Fi users around the world, familiarity with the technology is beginning to become more widespread.
Wi-Fi is now in the Merriem Webster dictionary, Hanley noted. It is a part of our culture and continues to be a cultural phenomenon. But, as with any technology, the consumer just wants it to work. I as the consumer dont care whats behind the curtain. I just care that it works and I am able to work and move the data or audio quickly.
Hope for the Wi-Fi market seems to be catching on amongst analyst firms and industry followers. Just last week, IMS research released a similar report stating that despite fixed mobile convergences relatively slow growth, Wi-Fi in handsets is gaining traction as a feature. Hanley also cited a study by ABI Research, which estimated that by 2011, the industry will be shipping more than 450 million Wi-Fi equipped phones per year. Most seem to agree that the market is still in its early stages, but the consensus amongst analysts is largely that this is an area to follow over the next few years.

An Augusta Commissioner wants to stop wasting money on a development project.
City leaders are considering loaning two and a half million dollars to the housing department to continue the redeveloping the Laney Walker and Bethlehem neighborhoods.
More than $2 million has been spent on consultants and marketing since 2010, something Mayor Pro-Tem Corey Johnson says needs to stop.
"I don't think there's a need to have the consultants at this capacity. If you need one or two people or a...of course, you need a project manager. But, to have consultants to continue to market, that has pretty much been branded. I think, at this point, it's pretty much a waste of money," says Johnson.
Johnson says he feels pretty good about the future of the redevelopment, but says he just doesn't want to see money spent on it where it doesn't have to.
Commissioners are scheduled to take up the loan request next week.
City leaders have directed Augusta Housing and Development Department director Chester Wheeler to do a cost analysis of consultants versus doing the project work in-house, and to find an additional funding source for the redevelopment to supplement the $1 a night hotel tax currently being used to make the bond payments.

Hooks OF Mitch Einertson suspended 50 games
Popular player punished for his 2nd drug violation
CORPUS CHRISTI - Outfielder Mitch Einertson, one of the Hooks' most popular players, was suspended 50 games on Friday after violating Minor League Baseball's drug policy.
The suspension will keep Einertson out for the final 30 games of this season and the first 20 games of the 2010 campaign.
Einertson's punishment was announced in a terse, two-paragraph press release issued by Major League Baseball. According to the release, Einertson was suspended "after a second violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program for a drug of abuse."
Houston Astros farm director Ricky Bennett, citing confidentiality rules, said he couldn't specify when Einertson's first violation took place or what substance he tested positive for.
Bennett said Einertson was notified of the suspension during the Hooks' recent series in San Antonio. Einertson's Whataburger Field locker was cleared out Friday and he was not at the ballpark.
"He didn't say a lot," Bennett said of Einertson's reaction to the news. "He was pretty quiet. He didn't have a much of a reaction one way or the other."
"When I heard the news, I was obviously disappointed, not only for Mitch but for what he's going through. He was making a lot of progress and to lose 50 games is disappointing to hear. He clearly understands that Major League Baseball has a program that's in place and we have to support that program."
Einertson, in his second season with the Hooks, hit .260 with 8 home runs and 33 RBI in 88 games this season. A fifth-round draft pick in 2004 out of Rancho Buena Vista High School in Oceanside, Calif., he was a rookie-ball sensation, hitting an Appalachian League-record 24 homers for Greeneville and earning league MVP honors.
But in 2005, he missed nearly a month at high-A Lexington because of personal issues. He then was the 2007 Carolina League MVP at high-A Salem before arriving in Corpus Christi.
As for Einertson's future with the Astros, that remains up in the air.
"At some point next season, when he's closer to being reinstated, we'll sit down, evaluate the situation and make decision on what we're going to do at that point," Bennett said.
Einertson's suspension is the second 50-game ban for a Hooks player during the past three seasons. In May 2007, catcher Lou Santangelo was suspended 50 games for using a performance-enhancing drug. He returned later that season and also played with the Hooks in 2008.
Einertson was replaced on the roster by Ray Sadler, the Hooks' 2007 team MVP. He was available after being released by Tampa Bay on Aug. 1.
The Hooks' busy day was capped by the news that Houston Astros third baseman Aaron Boone is slated to join the team for a rehab assignment starting Monday. Boone, who had open heart surgery on March 27, is slated to be with the Hooks until the third week in August before heading to Class AAA Round Rock.

Milwaukee Wave twins, Todd and Troy Dusosky, have spent a lifetime being amused by the similarities in their personalities and talents. But when both players were injured during the same game, even they had to marvel at their twin synchronicity.
Troy was injured first. His knee gave out as he was chasing a ball. It appeared he had torn the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) of the knee.
Later in the same game, Todd went after a ball and his ankle rolled, resulting in an inversion ankle sprain. As he fell, another player landed on top of him added further damage to the ankle.
Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Sports Medicine Center physical therapist, John Lachacz, viewed the game tape and said, "Troy went down like a ton of bricks. There wasn't even any contact with another player. Most ACL injuries don't involve contact. He was down on the field for quite awhile due to pain. When he got back to Milwaukee, we did an MRI on his knee, which confirmed his ACL was torn. After two to three weeks of therapy to get the swelling down, he was ready for surgery."
The surgery was a success and now Troy is in physical therapy twice a week, for 60 to 90 minutes. His therapy includes balance, strength training, stretching and conditioning work. His rehab will continue for four to six months before he can return to the game.
"The rehab has really been going well. John Lachacz and everyone there has been great at helping me get through this—both mentally and physically," Troy said.
Todd's ankle inversion injury kept him out of the game and required physical therapy as well. He worked with the Froedtert & Medical College of Wisconsin Sports Medicine Center team on regaining his range of motion, strength and proprioception.
Todd completed his physical therapy and was back on the field helping the Wave win in his first game back. "My rehab got me back in top form. The Sports Medicine Center Team worked with me and got me up and running — no ankle problems at all. It feels great to be back in the game. Really great!" commented Todd.
And with continued help from the rehab team at our Sports Medical Center, it won't be long before Troy is right back in the game with his twin brother.

Is there a list somewhere of journals with RSS feeds? I'd been hoping to add a bunch of journals to my RSS reader, so I'd know when I need to get my hands on a copy from the library, interlibrary loan or, if need be, by buying an article, but it seems that it's rare for a journal to make even title/author data available as an RSS feed. Is there some reason for this, or just a general behind-the-times thing that will sort itself out over the next century or so?

Riemann's Bilinear RelationsPosted by Charles Siegel under Abelian Varieties, Algebraic Geometry
[2] Comments
This post begins my series on some classical geometry of curves and abelian varieties. We'll start with some talk of line bundles and polarizations on abelian varieties in general, and the first big theorem I'm really targeting is the Torelli theorem (going to go with Andreotti's proof, though once some other stuff is covered, might reprove it another way or two) but I might get distracted by other things along the way. We'll see how this goes. Posting will be sporadic at best, and most of this material is, in more detailed form, going to appear in my master's thesis (hopefully).

A whole new level of crazyPosted by Charles Siegel under Cranks
[5] Comments
Ok, so, I've been quiet lately. Once the semester ends, I'll probabyl start posting a bit more again (I'll have a new laptop in a week and ahalf, which will help) and I'm going to talk about theta functions, theta divisors, the Torelli theorem and the Schottky problem, passing through some cool stuff with Prym maps first. In fact, on the topic of Schottky, a good paper I just found, but which isn't new, is this one by Krichever proving the Trisecant Conjecture, and also this new paper of Gulbrandsen and Lahoz, where they extend a characterization by Pareschi and Popa to finite length subschemes of abelian varieties, a very nice paper.
And, as the title said, I've come across a new kind of crazy entirely. I've stared into the face of time cube and survived, but this…this is impressive. Pure Math Theory is…you have to see it to believe it. Don't look if you've had your fill of cranks, though!

4 Digit Permutation Out Of 5 Or More Numbers
I had seen lots of permutation example that generate out of 4 different numbers and it works perfectly well. But I need to generate a 4 digit permutation out of 5 or more different numbers.
Example: I got 5 number: 4,3,2,7,8 and I want some thing like this. 2347,8743,3247,8437,2378!
I got 6 number: 4,3,2,7,8,1 and I want some thing like this. 2317,8743,3217,8437,2378,1287,7128!
No matter how many numbers I have, I Only want 4 digit permutation.
Any ideas?

Four Digit Numbers
I want it so that when the user presses Command1 it adds the numbers 1 - 9999 and txtWord.text to lstFound, the problem is I want it to add, say for the first ten, this :

5-digit Numbers Converting Themselves Into Things Like B51C6100
i have some code where a user enters a 5-digit number. that number is then used to name the subsequently-created excel file. this works okay on my computer. however, when i send the code to another person, the code (or something) converts the 5-digit code to something like B51C6100. [e.g., 47456 turns into B51C6100.]
here is what happens:
Sub Accountabilities_Before()
Dim Enter5 As String 'employee number the real one
Dim Enter6 As String
'this is where they enter the 5-digit number
Enter5 = InputBox("Please enter the Employee's Employee Number", _
"Please enter the Employee Number", "Enter the Employee Number.")
Enter6 = Str(Enter5) & ".xls"
'the file ends up being saved as the 8-digit thing here
ActiveWorkbook.SaveAs FileName:= _
"C:Documents and SettingsfransDesktopEvaluations" & Enter6 & "", FileFormat:= _
xlExcel9795, Password:="", WriteResPassword:="", ReadOnlyRecommended:= _
False, CreateBackup:=False
i don't know if it's a simple matter of my messing up the variable declarations, or something bigger. it's difficult to test, as like i said, it works fine on my machine. it's hers that has the problem! at this point, i'm just curious if anyone has any suggestions.
A Fast Primality Test For 14-16 Digit Numbers
I am conducting some research in the field of Prime-Generating Polynoms, and am currently in need of a fast primality test, either a proving algorythm or a probable primality test for primes of the order of 14 digits and higher.
I have built a factorization procedure that applys the rho method, however it is not fast enough for large numbers. (if anyone wants the code just ask)
A procedure implementing the miller-rabin probable primality test or the ECPP would be most appreciated, either in visual basic (preferably 6) or in C, with detailed instructions on how to use it with VB6.
I have found a few examples for download on the internet but non written in VB6, and those written in C are extremely subtle to implement in Visual Basic.
I hope someone can help me out,
Thanks in advance,

Hashing A 10 Digit Number To 8 Digit Alphanumeric
Can anyone help me with an algorithm to convert a 10 digit number to an 8 digit alphanumeric?
Preferably, I'd like the following constraints:
1. The number generated is unique - no two numbers will generate the same output
2. The algorithm is one way (irreversable) - not required but would be nice
Eg. Hash(7594865729) returns 8A74BZ65.
Any ideas?
Hashing A 10 Digit Number To A 2 Digit Alphanumeric
I need a function that does the following:
1. Takes a 10 digit number as input and creates a unique hash of that number
2. The hash should allow letters so that it can be shorter than the original number
3. The algorithm should be one-way (ie. irreversable)
4. I'm guessing by adding 26 letters (A to Z) with (0 to 9) will give 36 possibilities for each character. This means a 10 digit number can be hashed to a 2 digit alpha-numeric (?)
10^10 = 10000000000
2^36 = 68719476736
Eg. Hash(0374863796) returns A3 and no other 10 digit number (or < 10 digits) should produce A3.
Does anyone have any ideas about the algorithm to do such a thing. I've looked over the Net at hashing algs such as MD5, but it's not really suited for my purpose. I'm afraid I'm not much good at maths either...
MOD Of 1st 7digit = The 8th Digit Of A 8 Digit Number ?
Hi all,
I am new here and this forums is the best for VB, I use search a lot on this forum and always get what i am jamming at.
But after a whole days search, I am not able find this thing any where.
I have a text box which can take only 8 digits, the thing is, if the : MOD of 1st seven digit = 8th digit then it should focus on next fillup other wise prompt a msg of not been equal.
I know its not that hard for ppl around this great place.
Help would be really appreciated

Permutation ?: Please Help A Newbie
I'm VERY NEW to VB. I'm generating a matrix of all possible feature sets for a new product. I'm using Excel to track the material cost and add'l overhead of each feature.
Here's the scenario:
I have six categories of features. They have varying numbers of items within them.
Category 1: 1,2,3,4
Category 2: 5,6,7
Category 3: 8,9,10
Category 4: 11,12,13
Category 5: 14,15
Category 6: 16,17
From each category, I must select exactly one item. I seek to generate a list of ALL possible options.
For Example:
Model 1: 1/5/8/11/14/16
Model 2: 2/5/8/11/14/16
Model 3: 3/5/8/11/14/16
et cetera
Any ideas? Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.
My Permutation Algorithm. Nearly There!
I tried to do it recursively before but that didn't work. Here's a graphical solution that nearly works.. can someone please read through and fix any logic problems? It's definitely on the verge of working!
Permutation Problems . . .
Hey all, it's been a while, but I'm back to working in VB. Now, sure enough, I've got another problem.
I'm writing a little program that will write all possible permutations of the given characters to a text file. The problem is, when I specify a minimum number of characters per line, and have more than one given character, a loop occurs. I have to forcefully shutdown the program, and the generated text file displays the same sequence of numbers over and over again . . .
Here's the code I use for calculating permutations:
txtMin is the minimum number of chars a line,
txtMax is the maximum number of chars a line,
and txtChars is a textbox containing all applicable characters.
Private Sub cmdCalculate_Click()
For tempvar = 1 To 20
Letter(tempvar) = Left$(txtChars.Text, 1)
LetterPosition(tempvar) = 1
Next tempvar
NumOfPerms = 0
Set A = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set Text = A.CreateTextFile(OutputFile, True)
For NumDigits = 1 To (Val(txtMax.Text) - Val(txtMin.Text))
finished = False
Do Until finished = True
LetterSequence = Empty
For tempvar = 1 To NumDigits
LetterSequence = LetterSequence + Letter(tempvar)
Next tempvar
Text.writeline LetterSequence: NumOfPerms = NumOfPerms + 1
For tempvar = 1 To NumDigits
If Letter(tempvar) <> Right$(txtChars.Text, 1) Then Exit For
If tempvar = NumDigits Then finished = True
Next tempvar
If chkBGprocesses.Value = 1 Then DoEvents
LetterPosition(NumDigits) = LetterPosition(NumDigits) + 1
If LetterPosition(NumDigits) = Len(txtChars.Text) + 1 Then
LetterPosition(NumDigits) = 1
For tempvar = 1 To (NumDigits - Val(txtMin.Text))
LetterPosition(NumDigits - tempvar) = LetterPosition(NumDigits - tempvar) + 1
If LetterPosition(NumDigits - tempvar) = Len(txtChars.Text) + 1 Then
LetterPosition(NumDigits - tempvar) = 1
Exit For
End If
Next tempvar
End If
For tempvar = Val(txtMin.Text) To NumDigits
Letter(tempvar) = Mid$(txtChars.Text, LetterPosition(tempvar), 1)
Next tempvar
Next NumDigits
MsgBox Str$(NumOfPerms) + " permutations derived."
End Sub
Can anyone see what the problem might be?
By the way, it works fine when I have a minimum of one, which makes me think that it has something to do with someplace that "Val(txtMin.Text)" is used. But as of yet I haven't been able to find the bug.

Permutation Algorithm
I am trying to work out a way to code a vba function that would accept an array of variables, for instance say a list of 20 names, from which you would input a number, say perhaps 5. And on this basis the function would generate a list of permutations based on all the possible combinations of 5 people from the list of 20. Is there some form of algorithm I should perhaps look at, or maybe it is more simple than I think it is.
Any help or pushes in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.

Permutation Program
Hi! I am not good with math and I am making a permutation program. I am trying to list all the possible permutation in a listview but i am having trouble with the combination.. specifically how to swap the numbers. i am using the same concept as the one i read about in this link http://codeguru.earthweb.com/vb/gen/vb_misc/algorithms/article.php/c5591 but this program uses notepad can anyone help me with this?
Having Difficulties With Permutation Function
Maybe its late in the day but I cant see how to do this. Ignore the actual application for this code but if anyone can help me come up with a function which will just output to the immediate window I can integrate it into the classes it needs to be in later (and of course I will be very greatfull).
The function has 2 inputs, 2 equal length strings of different charecters. I need to obtain every permutation in the correct order of the 2 strings
So if the inputs were "AB" and "CD", I would like to see the following output:
A 3 charecter example should produce the following results.
Inputs "ABC" and "DEF"
There may be more results that I didnt spot.
I hope ive explained myself properly, any help much appreciated.
Permutation Array Algorithm
I need generate all permutation array when the user type n ( n is natural number >0). When The user type for example n=4
I fill the first row and first column with the sequence {1,2,3,4}, if he typed n= 5 I fill with {1,2,3,4,5}
Example: for n=4
* |1234
1 |1234 -- First row
2 |2143
3 |3412
4 |4321
The number in the top and left are number of columns and rows . Look that First row is 1,2,3,4
and first column is 1,2,3,4
In the second column and row I have generate all
permutation possible, but the number only can to be one time in the column and one time in the row. ( the number 1 only one time in the column 1 , one time in the column 2 ...etc).
Other solution for n=4 is
* |1234
1 |1234
2 |2341
3 |3412
4 |4123
do somebody to know the algorithm that generate all
permutation possible without that number show more than one time in the column and row ?
I search abou derangement algorithm but I do not found.
I have to do this program in C or C++ or Pascal or Visual Basic
Thank You in Advance

Combination/permutation Type Problem
Hello everyone-
I write software where i have to display catogories on a screen (menus on a tv screen) that a user can navigate through. Currently i am implemnting new functionality that involves subscription based categories, so that only certain people who are entitled can view a particular category. There can be any number of subscription categories configured and the people should only see on the screen the cateogries that they are entitled to enter. So i need to create a screen for each unigue possible combination of these subscription cateogires on the screen.
So if i have 5 subscription categories configured, that means that i have (2 ^ 5) - 1 or 31 unique combinations of categories. If the category IDs are 10, 20, 30, 40, and 50 then these would be the 31 unique combinations:
The problem that i am having is how to figure out these combinations through code. For some reason my mind is drawing a complete blank today. I would greatly appreciate any help with this problem.
Permutation Function - Urgent ** Resolved
Hi all,
I Know what permutation & I know how to do this. But the thing is I am struggling to make it as a redursive function. Can anybody help me by providing some code which uses recursive logic to produce permutation for n digits.
I have an ex for 4 digit permutation without recursion. I request you people to pl convert this for n numbers in a recursive manner.
VB Code:
Dim I As Integer, J As Integer, K As Integer, L As IntegerFor I = 1 To 4 For J = 1 To 4 If Not (I = J) Then For K = 1 To 4 If Not (K = J Or K = I) Then For L = 1 To 4 If Not (L = I Or L = J Or L = K) Then Print I; J; K; L Next L End If Next K End If Next JNext I
Tough Combinations Or Permutation Or Tree Or Subset Question
Allright. this one is getting to me now. I have a table that shows the neighbors of a cell. For example, my subject is ID 0. for ID 0 i have possible neighbors with IDS 48 498. Now I have a group of neighbor combinations i.e 0 48 and 0 498 and 0 48 498. Next i go to neighbors of ID 48. 48 has 3 neighbors first is ofcourse 0 and the other two are ID 498 and ID 23. Using ID 48 neighbors we get following set: 48 0; 48 498; 48 23; 48 498 23; 48 0 23 etc ettc. Now we also need our main subject ID 0 we now have the following possible combinations (including the original). i.e exclude anything that
[0 48; 0 498; 0 48 498; 0 48 23 (i.e since 498 is already included in original listi have to exclude it for this list).
I need to keep doing this recursively till i run out of neighbors. How would I accomplish this? I do have an exit in the sense that I have to evaluate values for a particular field for these neighbors and when that value crosses 35 i can exit and move to the next row.
I hope I have explained properly.

How To Check A Certain Digit??

Get Last Two Digit From Combo Box

2 To 4 Digit Permutations
This is a mini experiment I would like to try out. I had created 4 textboxes joined together, "Text1 to Text4", an "Enter" command button by the text boxes, a "2 number Text" command button, a "3 number Text" command button, a reset command button and an Exit button, all separated by a space one by one below. (The command buttons are the same size as each other.) The space below the 4 joint text boxes is the most puzzling among them all, the Label. I will explain my objective and then the questions:
a) The 4 textboxes are supposed to display numbers between 0 to 9, no letters and no numbers smaller than 0 or bigger then 9. (This part is solved.)
b) When I clicked on the "2 number text" command button, the "3 number text" command button is disabled and Text3 and Text4 are invisible .
When I clicked on the "3 number text" command button, the "2 number text" command button is disabled and Text4 is invisible.
When I clicked Enter without any selection, "2 number text" and "3 number text" command buttons are disabled, assuming that I wanted to input all 4 digits. (These parts are solved.)
c) The Reset button resets all the conditions back to normal. Text1 to Text 4 boxes will be resetted back to "0" with all the 4 Text boxes available (visible) and the 2 common buttons ("2 number text" button and "3 number text" button) made enabled. The exit button quits the programme, as usual. (This part is also solved.)
Now, the question :
1) Notice that there is an empty space under the 4 textboxes? That is for the label to cover the rest of the display. That is the place where I want the enter button to output the permutation. The problem now is how do I write the permutation in the Label after I input my 2 to 4 numbers and pressed enter? Also take in account that the number I planned to input is also supposed to be one of the selected choices. (Example: If I want 0 and 1 as my 2 numbers, "01" and "10" are supposed to be displayed in the label as 2 permutations, not just 10.) Please help me to write a clear display function for the label when I press the reset command button.
2) I wanted only one digit to display in my text boxes but I do not know how to do that.(eg. 09 is also less than 10.) Can anyone help?
For those who have no idea how the display looks like, just imagine it like this display message page. Close current Tag, close all tags and the smilies on the right are the 5 command buttons. The dropdown boxes, option functions and guided mode is roughly the length of the textboxes, number size, 4 of them. This big textbox is something like the label, to store the 1 to 24 permutations.
I hoped that my explanations and the layouts are clear to you guys. Please help. Thanks!!!

Digit Grouping
Hi there everyone,
I don't know it's me missing something really simple or what, since I haven't been able to find ONE sample code in any language for digit grouping.
I want to have a text box where as you input numbers it groups digits dynamically like in Windows Calculator.
The format function (Format(num, "###,###,###.00") ) or the VB6 "MaskEdBox" don't do it for me because they always assume a fixed number of characters.
I have come up with a rather awkward code with string manipulation using the "KeyUp" event that would work if I could keep the cursor at the right side of the digits being input. Since after each character that's entered the cursor jumps to the left side of the number I try to remedy this with SendKeys.Send("{END 1}"). It works fine in some routines and causes an infinite loop in others.
Does anyone have a cure? If I could just keep the godd*mn cursor at the end of the number, I could solve the thing with string manipulations. Any ideas?
I'd really appreciate your help.
Getting The Middle Digit
Help please !
i have 4 txtboxes and 1 cmdButton:
the first txtbox where the user input a minimum and maximum of 10 digits Ex: "1234567890" or "12345" or "123" or "1234567" and so on.
the second txtbox must get the middle digit in the 1st txtbox Ex: "1234567890" midDigit = "56" || "12345" midDigit="3" || "123" mid = "3"
the third txtbox must squared the midDigit in the 2nd txtbox Ex: 56 * 56 = 3136
|| 3 * 3 = 9
and the fourth txtbox must get the 1st digit of the squared number in the third txtbox Ex: "3136" = "3" || "9" = "9"
help me please !

Checking If It's A Letter Or A Digit
Hi all,
I was wonderring if in VB there is a function that checks if a string is a letter or a digit. Also is there a function which converts from lower case to upper case (and vise versa)
Yep, Another 60 Digit Calculator Question
Thanks to anyone who's helped me out so far, but I require more help here, if it not too much trouble.
For those who don't know:
My calculator adds or subtracts a 60 digit number, 60 digits is too big to simply just add the numbers together, so the 60 digits are split into 6 boxes. Each box contains 10 digits. So split one number into 6 boxes of 10 digits and then the same with the other, add them together and bob's your uncle. The calc looks like this:
.............................................................. <-- main entry text box (for the 60 digits)
1st number goes here:
2nd number goes here:
.............................................................. <-- answer goes here
Right, I have the addition sorted. With all the carrying of numbers sorted. except the problem with zeros. if 0000000000 is in one box and 1 is in the next box, when I click add, the zeros are ignored. So 10000000000 + 10000000000 would come out as 2. So how can i get the calculator to keep the zeros?
Second problem is subtraction - I haven't really got a clue so any help would be appreciated.
Another Problem With 60 Digit Calculator
Hi, thanks to anyone who helped me for my original post for help with building a calc that can handle 60 digits.

Now I have another problem.
I have to get the 6 text boxes of 10 digits and place them into one text box. The problem is i cant just add them, I have to literally place them next to each other to look like on number
|1234567890|1234567890|1234567890|1234567890| <-- Have to get these numbers
to look like this:
Position Of A Digit In A Integer
I need to know how to tell the where a certain digit is in a integer. And if it is possible to check certain places in a integer for a specific digit?
How To Convert Digit In Words
is there any built in Function which can convert any Digit figure in to words
if not then please give any hint or example to make this function

We are in Hossegor. It's October 4th. And the whole city is on fire because the Quiksilver Pro France is going off – the biggest stop of the elite surf tour in Europe. One day later, Kelly Slater will get his 51st ASP Tour victory, with a win over Dane Reynolds in a hard-fought final.
Skullcandy certainly picked the right evening to organize our "Time For Your Medication" party at the famous Rock Food, the main bar in Hossegor. Plenty of pro and local surfers, the media and retailers dropped in to enjoy the heavy show of DJ Mike Rock with his massive beat-bashing playlists.
There were smiles all around with Skullcandy goodies for everybody on board. It was wild, it was heavy and it was crowded! Thanks to Roland and the whole Rock Food crew for the great Skullcandy welcome.
Please wait...

I went to bed on Saturday night around 9pm after eating some Maggi noodles (easiest to cook) as my farm hand in Hingurakgoda was in an alcoholic stupor and nothing could wake him up, and my man Friday, used the inclement weather to sleepover at a neighbor who has electricity and thus TV. In a nutshell I was alone with the nearest neighbor over a screaming distance away in case of emergency.
The heavy rain started around 11pm, and as I sleep on the verandah, I could not escape the light water spray on to me. Nevertheless it was freezing, another very unusual occurrence in these parts, and I managed to sleep soundly completely bundled out in the open. Waking up at about 3am I shone the flashlight to the river in front and saw that the water level was about two feet below the level of the verandah and went back to sleep. Once I woke up again at dawn around 5.30am the water level was at the verandah, and as it had happened earlier, I thought it was not unusual, until a neighbor came to check on us due to the water level, which had by now covered the bridge close by. I was told that the Giritale Tank was so full that it was unable to take the load, and the spill would be cut about two feet which would send a wall of water downstream, and I was directly in harm's way.
We had a process to go through, first to move the water pump tractor to higher ground, end then everything in sight out of the way. By this time both the farmhand and the errant man Friday had been summoned to help along with about 4 locals, and others were making there way in from neighboring houses on higher ground, to see the once in a life time rise in flood waters, also being asked to help.
The speed with which the flood waters kept rising surprised us and we realized that soon the paddy store would get flooded, and soon thereafter the adjoining room where the fertilizer is stored. In the end once we began removing the paddy and fertilizer, the water had come in and soaked some beyond salvage, and in the meantime the recently plucked coconuts were floating down river along with some pots and pans and some personal items like shoes and slippers that missed our gaze. In the end I had to get my vehicle out of harms way once I had it filled with wet paddy sacks hoping to take it to Godagama to dry, as there was no chance that there would be any sun for a few days here. Sodden paddy would immediately sprout and render it useless. My home was under 6ft of water at its worst.
Eventually the journey back to Godagama took over 8 hours arriving at 2am through flooded roads and other mishaps such as a flat tire. I was able to carry on my normal routine as usual on a Monday to deliver my produce a little late.

A new experience of being flooded out as a result of the recent incessant rains

Dear Rajaratarala
I chanced upon your blog while checking out the flood situation in Sri Lanka - I taught at Richmond MV (Galle) for VSO way back in 1973-4 and was last in SL with my wife in Oct 2002 when we visited Minneriya Wewa and the surrounding area. We wish you the very best in recovering quickly from these latest natural hazards of our changing global climate. Sorry to hear about your nicked haysprayer - hope it turns up soon! I have just talked via Skype about the flooding situation with a good friend from Vancouver, BC who is visiting his original home city of Colombo. Best regards, Joe & Penny in BC, Canada.
