Bristow, Va. -- Independent presidential candidates Pat Buchanan and Ralph Nader accepted Willie Nelson's invitation to attend Farm Aid on Sunday (Sept.17) and got an earful from American family farmers concerned with current federal farm policies.
"In this election year, when we talk about including everyone, don't forget to include family farmers and ranchers,"
Nelson said while thanking the candidates for coming.
Democratic presidential nominee, Vice President Al Gore did
not attend, but sent North Dakota Sen. Byron Dorgan to represent him. Republican candidate, Texas Gov. George W. Bush also
was invited to participate, but declined to attend or send a representative, according to Farm Aid organizers. Richard Rominger,
Deputy Secretary of the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture, and five congressmen were also on hand for the discourse.
in a tent outside the Nissan Pavilion here, before the annual benefit concert began, the hour-long panel discussion was an
impassioned plea from farmers to repeal the Freedom to Farm Act of 1996, which family farmers have dubbed "Freedom to Fail."
Critics say the legislation has caused an overproduction of livestock, grain and dairy products, which has driven prices too
low for family farmers to compete with corporately owned farms.
"From 1996 to 1999 the average national market
price of corn is down 81 cents a bushel, a 30 percent drop," said John Hanson, President of the Nebraska Farmers Union. "While
ag commodity prices and net farm income have been falling through the floor during the last four years, farm operating expenses
have shot up nine percent."
Farmers on the panel broke the very complicated debate into three urgent concerns. In
addition to falling commodity prices, they are worried about a monopoly of meatpacking plants that also own livestock. They
also oppose foreign trade policies that favor global businesses rather than individual American farmers.
"Prices for
pork products are up 30 percent, but production costs for packers are the lowest in history," said Missouri livestock farmer
Rhonda Perry. "There's no room for independent family farmers. We have to restore competition to the marketplace."
listening to farmers on the panel, each candidate was given five minutes to respond to farm concerns. Sen. Dorgan said he
voted against the Freedom to Farm bill and called the legislation the "corporate hijacking of rural America."
the Senate, we're about four or five votes short on all these issues," Dorgan said. "We need a president who says [Freedom
to Farm] ought to be repealed. We need a Congress with enough votes to repeal it, and Al Gore says he supports that."
a former Republican who helped create the Reform Party, agreed the Freedom to Farm Act "failed and should be changed." He
also voiced his opposition to the domination of the agriculture business by corporate farms.
"If the Clinton administration
can use anti-trust laws to bust up Microsoft, why can't they use it to bust up these agricultural monopolies?" he said, to
wild applause.
Buchanan also drew cheers by criticizing trade treaties like the North American Free Trade Agreement
(NAFTA) and Permanent Normal Trade Relations for China (PNTR) that don't benefit individual farmers.
"The global economy
has been established of, by and for the multi-national corporations," Buchanan said. "Take China. They sell us 40 percent
of their exports. They buy 1 percent of ours. This policy with China is adopted for the benefit of multi-national companies,
not to sell there, but to move factories there. These trade deals aren't being done for the benefit of Americans."
Party candidate Nader drew thunderous applause when he talked about specific companies that he says "own the American government
and run agricultural policy" through corporate campaign contributions.
"We're talking about Continental Grain, Perdue,
Tyson, those are the companies that run the national capital in Washington, D.C.," he said, calling for campaign finance reform.
Nader offered support for livestock farmers who can't compete with big companies.
"We need to do what the Elkins Act
did," Nader said. "It prevented railroads from owning coal mines, and we ought to prohibit meatpackers from owning livestock."
The audience, packed with family farmers and members of the press, was relatively polite to the visiting politicians
during the summit, despite the emotion wrapped up in the subject. Toward the end, however, the moderator scolded the crowd
for goading the candidates who danced around questions. Overall, politicos won points just for showing up, but reaction among
farmers was mixed.
"It sure seems like it's Tweedledee and Tweedledum with the Democrats and Republicans," said Missouri
grain and livestock farmer Roger Allison. "We've been killed by this farm policy, and the candidates up there know exactly
what's going on. These corporations have hogged the ball and it's time to break them up."
Mark Seitz, a 25-year-old
farmer from Marshall, Va., works on someone else's farm now, but hopes to own one someday. The candidates' appearance at Farm
Aid has made him cautiously optimistic about farming's future.
"That tells us that farming still has a place and that
they realize that," Seitz said. "They had a lot to say, but I don't know whether they'll back it up or not."

I'm Writing A Book On WebMatrix
Launched just a few days ago, WebMatrix is already providing a lot of fuel for Tweeters - the vast majority of it very encouraging and positive, and some of it, well... uneducated, let's say. Regular visitors to this site will notice that I have been playing with WebMatrix since its first Beta release, and just like former Microsoft ASP.NET MVC Guru, Rob Conery (who's not shy in telling Microsoft when he thinks they have goofed), I believe that Microsoft have got WebMatrix just right.
Beginning ASP.NET Web Pages with WebMatrix will be published later this year - in September to be more precise. I am being supported by my good friend Imar Spaanjaars, a fellow ASP.NET MVP and first rate author of highly successful ASP.NET books, such as Beginning ASP.NET 4: in C# and VB. The book will target those who are completely new to web development, as well as their educators, but it will also appeal to bods who have a little web development experience away from ASP.NET, or those who found ASP.NET Web Forms or MVC all a little too daunting. It should also appeal to experienced ASP.NET developers who would like some "fun" injected into their web development again.
The book will cover:
- What WebMatrix is all about
- An introduction to HTML and CSS
- Designing your pages and site
- Programming with the Razor syntax
- Using the Package Manager
- AJAX with jQuery
- Data and Databases
- Securing your site
- Optimising (I mean Optimizing - I have to write in American now...) your site for SEO
- and more...
If there is anything in particular that you would like to see the book cover, let me know by using the comments form at the bottom of this page.
In the meantime, I have a busy few months ahead of me, so if I'm not posting new articles as regularly as I usually do, now you know why.

Great news Mike! I look forward to picking it up.
You've mentioned there will be a chapter(s) on databases and security. I'd really like to see how one goes about creating the simple membership provider in MySQL. Yes, I'm wrestling with it right now :)
I always enjoy your articles on WebMatrix - keep up the good work.
Wednesday, January 19, 2011 5:49 PM from Max-B
Really happy for this - and for you!
You are doing a great work with this "framework" and I think the resulting book will be good

wow mike... can't wait!
Saturday, February 5, 2011 5:21 PM from Sean O'Keeffe
Mike the book sounds fantastic! i think the Razor syntaxes should be as in depth as possible, if not the main "meat" of the book.
P.S its fine i like the work optimising
Saturday, February 5, 2011 11:07 PM from Mike
Razor is just a wrapper around C#. I will cover the basics of C# in the book, and how to use Razor. However, I would always recommend learning C# properly for anyone wanting to do more than the very basics. There are quite a number of good C# books around.
Sunday, March 6, 2011 4:44 PM from John Hastings
I know the whole world is going to C# and only a few of us dinosaurs are still using VB, but would it be so hard to put some VB in the book? Us old coots would really appreciate it.
Sunday, March 6, 2011 6:11 PM from Mike
The book will be in C#. There is a limit to the size of the book (∛production costs / price ± likely potential copy sales or some similar formula) which means I can either include coverage of VB at the expense of content, or stick to C# and write in more depth. As it is, I'm struggling to keep to some of the chapter pagination budgets :o)
Tuesday, March 8, 2011 8:41 PM from Robby
Outstanding! If you would like a "dummy" sounding board off of which to bounce your draft chapters, I would be happy to do so. I am very much a tyro in C#, am involved in a web project using WebMatrix, and keenly aware of the erroneous assumptions some authors make about the depth of the readers' experience.
Given that I am (at least it seems to me) pretty much squarely in the dead center of the target audience for WebMatrix and Razor, I should be able to make a contribution of some value.
Thursday, March 17, 2011 7:06 PM from mike gil
Your articles are terrific and I'm looking forward buying your book. I'm already reading Imar's book (as you suggest above) but have one basic question that might help all us "newbies" until your book does come out:
Can you use most of what is in Imar's ASP.NET book (ie: Controls, JQuery, .Net Ajax) with WebMatrix?
I get the impression that you can and that WebMatrix is just a more simplified framework than ASP.NET and is the stepping stone to MVC.
Thursday, March 17, 2011 8:37 PM from Mike
You can use Server Controls etc in WebMatrix, but I wouldn't recommend it. Use Visual Web Developer Express instead. WM doesn't include any design time support, for one thing, and is intended primarily for developing using ASP.NET Web Pages rather than Web Forms.
Tuesday, March 22, 2011 5:58 PM from Frank Wannall
When will the book be published?
Wednesday, March 23, 2011 6:14 AM from Mike
The current publication date is the end of October 2011.
Sunday, April 10, 2011 4:29 AM from Jeff Rogers
I look forward to the publish date. I think readers for eBooks and similar popular technologies would make good example projects for your readers. It would be nice to see some real world examples that could be adopted and built upon.
Tuesday, April 12, 2011 4:11 PM from antony
I like all books i read but i find a little pity thing who i never love especially in MSFT press book.
they hide [not show] firebug whenever they light on IE dev tool. the feature IE dev not have why they trying to show as best.
we know MSFT make IE and IE dev tool [their is another matter i know that it's unperfect]
but why MSFTian abuse MySQL , chrome and many other things when they have minus point and have a plus point in their own product.
i have no problem why they abuse but what kind of stupidity it is they talk loud when something they have better then others.
this kind of thing teach a lesson that [beware of MVP especially from corporate like Microsoft]
because Microsoft never talk about that something they not have perfect and talk loudly if they have something better. this thing not only depend on Microsoft. all other corporate have same fundamentals.
so can you sure that you write this book naturally ?
Tuesday, April 12, 2011 4:57 PM from Mike
I'm not writing an MS Press book. Beyond that, I don't work for Microsoft or understand the rest of your comments. Maybe you should check your facts?
What do you think my relationship with Microsoft is? They gave me an award, but they don't tell me what to do.
Thursday, March 7, 2013 3:05 PM from Don Schwirtlich
Your book is one of the few that I have purchased both a kindle and hardcopy version. It and along with the spread of asp tutorials at asp.com, are awesome. I am an experienced programmer - but a newbie at web dev. thanks much.

Hi Mike
I'm new to MW and really trying to embrace it. I've got a book at the moment which says how to add textboxes, buttons etc but you comment above says this. I'm a still very new if you could explain a bit more about how to write forms in ASP (sorry I get very easily confused with me being new to MW and trying to avoid Visual Studio if I can !!) :-
17 March 2011 20:37 from Mikesdotnetting

Wednesday, March 20, 2013 9:26 PM from Mike
Server controls belong to the Web Forms development model. WebMatrix is designed for the Web Pages framework. They are completely different ways of developing web applications based on ASP.NET.
Friday, April 5, 2013 12:19 PM from Satyabrata Mohapatra
Today i got the book "Beginning ASP.NET Web Pages with WebMatrix". It is a fantastic book !! Good for both beginners and seasoned developers.
Friday, June 27, 2014 12:27 AM from John
I am thoroughly enjoying your book. It is exactly what I needed to learn to use WebMatrix. However, I am having a problem getting the ListCars.cshtml to work. When I click the Get Cars button, nothing happens. I have checked all the code against what you have in the book, but still no luck.
I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question, but if you can let me know if the code in the book is know to run, I would appreciate knowing that.
Thank you, again for a great book!

text: Intel's Box Could Have Been Tivo! wired.com Roberto Baldwin on the just-sold Intel television service: Pricing would be on par with what satellite and cable offered; after all, the networks weren't going to give the up-and-comer any sort of deal. But what Intel Media was counting on was an experience. Like TiVo, it was a quality play, a service that was better than what was already out there. TiVo customers usually pay a premium to use its box instead of the no-name DVR or satellite box offered by pay-TV providers. On Cue was going to take that even further: It was going to out-Tivo Tivo. And the box was ready to go. Tivo, we're-shutting-down-our-hardware-business-Tivo? Yes, that one.1 Newsflash: this is not an easy business to be in. The only thing that matters are the content deals. Without them, your service is going to be DOA. Did Intel actually have those? The article could not make that any less clear. My guess is "no". So yes, Intel's box could have been Tivo. Which is to say, ultimately, a failure.2 Which is odd, since the same person was the author of both articles on the same day. ↩ And I loved Tivo. ↩ tech television intel on cue verizon tivo

Insider knowledge: Glenrothes 40 Year Old 1970 - The Octave (Duncan Taylor) 40.9% whisky is named whisky by virtue of the fact it's from Scotland. If distilled in America the spelling would be Glenrothes 40 Year Old 1970 - The Octave (Duncan Taylor) 40.9% whiskey, as opposed to whisky.
Nose: A thick, rich nose that offers up peppermint, barley sugar, hints of cider, oak and toffee. Spicy and intense. Hints of rum, maybe molasses, some marmalade and a little note of butter.
Palate: Hints of toffee apple and mushroom, alongside black pepper, oak, rancio, malt and hickory. Very complex and intense.
Finish: Spiced and warming, some espresso, toffee, malt and citrus on the tail.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- A Lee County man faces life behind bars for murdering an Estero grandmother. Over the weekend, 26-year-old Shane Simpkins was found guilty of murdering Mary Ann Zarb in 2011.
It took the jury less than two hours to come back with a verdict. The judge threw out a kidnapping charge against Simpkins, who will be sentenced next month.

The large Medicare and Medicaid population compounds the problem, said Assemblywoman Janet Duprey. We need to bring in new providers nd stop the current ones from leaving.
Harvard Medical School Professor of Medical Economics, Emeritus, Rashi Fein said the problem begins when students leave school.
They leave medical school with an average debt of over $100,000, Fein said. Then we offer them higher incomes and often easier lifestyles if they enter various specialties, and lower incomes if they enter primary care, family medicine or geriatrics...Time is not on our side, there is a crisis and things will get better or they will get worse. They will not just kind of go along.
Barton Mines General Manager Randy Rapple gave his perspective on the problem.
From the perspective of an employer, I completely agree, Rapple said. I recognize that the medical care providers have done a tremendous job of sticking a thumb in the dike, so many Adirondackers dont even know about this crisis. If we dont take care of this problem, all those who live in the Adirondacks wont have health care.
The problem is multi faceted, and Acquario urged everyone to call on government officials to bring state insurance companies together and compel them to raise their reimbursements, which have been declining for years, causing the collapse of health care facilities.
You cant do it on your own, but through the power of open forum, we have the beginning of a campaign to compel private carries to increase reimbursements, he said.
Rugge said he has spoken with many private carriers and so far, hasnt been able to get them to raise reimbursements.
The governor is not a shy man, Rugge said. Insurance companies are knocking down our hospitals and health centers. What if we have no doctors and no nurses? Who wants to live in a place like that?
Physician Recruiter for Glens Falls Hospital Jen Metivier said she also feels strongly that reimbursement needs to be improved.
The Northeast is the worst in the country, she said. The Adirondacks are a great place to live, but so are many other American places, and the pay here is lower.

Fast Pharma Strikes Again
Earlier this week I read a great article on Reuters about how pharma companies are looking to the automobile industry for innovation by transferring some of the lean methodologies learned in car manufacturing to pharmaceuticals. As a pharmaceutical journalist, I read a lot of news stories and articles about innovative new products, R&D projects and partnerships, and sometimes it's too easy to let your eyes gloss over these as everyday business. Earlier this year though, the partnership between GlaxoSmithKline the McLaren Group really grabbed my attention. Pharma… and a racing-car maker? That's definitely not an everyday occurrence. Or is it?
GSK isn't the first pharma company to set its eyes on the automobile industry. In 2009, AstraZeneca borrowed some experts in lean manufacturing from Jaguar Land Rover, who were to apply their knowledge of efficient car production techniques to medicines. I'm researching at the moment how the project went so watch this space and hopefully I'll be able to provide an update on this in the near future.
So what is it that cars and pharmaceuticals have in common? Today, the majority of a car's value is attributable to suppliers but before this the industry used to be dominated by Western companies, much like the pharma industry. As the industry found the need to implement aggressive streamlining and cost cutting, carmakers now maintain only a few core operations, with everything else taking place across a huge network of contractors.
In the pharma industry, we're already seeing greater numbers of companies outsourcing certain functions, such as clinical trials, or in-licensing new compounds from smaller companies.
The article (available here) pulls out a lot more similarities between the two industries. If you like pharma and cars then it's definitely worth a read!
The article doesn't provide any updates on the GSK partnership, which is a shame because it's something I'm really looking forward to hearing more about. Where as AstraZeneca was looking to cars for lean expertise, GSK is hoping to extrapolate some of the technology using in Formula 1 racing to improve its R&D, such as seeing whether real-time monitoring technologies can be applied to human studies.

My boyfriend, who is a UK citizen, is planning to visit me in NY and stay for three months (max time allowed to stay on an ESTA). During this time, we want to go on a vacation to the Bahamas. Will it be an issue for him when he has to re-enter the US after our Caribbean vacation? Will he get additional time to stay in the US upon re-entry (basically, re-setting the 3 month max clock?) Thanks in advance!
There is a widespread perception that if CBP gives someone 3 months or 6 months to stay to stay in the U.S., the foreign national can remain in the U.S. for the full time period, depart the U.S. on the ast day, and subsequently hop on a plane a few days later and return to the U.S. and be granted another 3 months or 6 months as the case may be. That is completely false. More likely than not, CBP will not readily admit your boyfriend if he returns too soon. Consult an immigration lawyer for more information. Many of us offer quick consultations at little or no charge. Good luck to you.

The days seem so much closer together now , It is hard to keep up. Months click by me like weeks . Is this my time running out.
I seem to lose things more often then I remember annd sometimes I need help . Am I going to forget it all before my time runs out.
So many more soreness it seems and I am sleeping alot . Will I sleep my days away?
My dreams are confusing to me , I sometimes am not sure what is dream and what is real . It wont matter cause my time has run out.
It's a wonderful thing this life we have , But it is much better when your time runs out. That' what this life's about. Flow with time and dont worry about time running out .
There was once a fellow named Bill
Who mastered an unusual skill
The skill was dope
It involved rope
Which pulled him up the hill

"The water is so short this year that it's driven the price of water up," says Frank Zonneveld, who grows nuts, hay, corn and tomatoes in Kings and Fresno counties
So since he can no longer rely on surface deliveries from watersheds or the federal Central Valley Project, he's turning to underground wells instead.
"And I don't know where all my wells are sitting at. As the water table's drawn down more heavily, some of my pumps could be sitting shallower, and they could be out of reach of water. And then I'll have to – if the well's deep enough, I'll have to lower the pumps. If not, I'll have to dig new wells."
~Frank Zonneveld
But well drillers' waiting lists are long – several months for Zonneveld, more than a year for another farmer.
And then, there are the farmers who grow crops in the Westlands area – the western part of Kern and Kings counties. They're the ones who rely solely on the State Water Project – and on Friday, they learned they'll get no water at all this year. They don't have wells to turn to, meaning they'll have to choose which parts of their land to leave empty.

"The new Customer Dashboard has helped the Co-operative engage and interact with their customers across the UK."
Back in 2011 we developed a full car insurance quoting engine complete with a customer dashboard and admin reporting suite for The Co-operative. Although the dashboard looked great back then, it was time for a facelift and a greater focus on device accessibility.
Before we got cracking on the new design, we completed a full analysis of how customers were using the current site. What features were being used most often and where customers saw there could be improvements. All of this information helped plan out the information architecture and content hierarchy. It also gave us some good ideas of how to help the Co-operative interact more with their customers.
The old dashboard has over 25,000 active customers, we needed to make sure the migration was as painless as possible. Part of this included sending a series of emails to all customers on the lead up to the new site going live.
We built a robot you can control from anywhere in the world and in 4 weeks, brought nearly 250,000 new visitors to our website and boosted our Twitter followers by over 60%Control Sid the robot

Liquid Friday are a rapidly growing, bold and vibrant umbrella company for UK contractors. They like to do things a little differently - which was music to our ears.
The key objectives for them were to explain what the benefits of working with Liquid Friday are and to generate more enquiries.
As a lot of their customers were accessing the site from mobile devices, creating a tailored responsive site was a must.
What we created was a fully responsive website with a clear and logical information architecture and clearly placed calls to actions. We also created a series of illustrations based around different types of workers in their industry. These beautifully illustrated characters were then animated to explain what Liquid Friday offer.
Our main objective was to increase inbound enquiries via telephone, online chat and email. We're delighted to say that they have already seen an increase in inbound enquiries.

This was our first fully responsive dashboard, utilising Bootstrap's framework. This works seamlessly across a multitude of devices and reports back the driver's latest scores in a clear, concise manner.

Startup Minutehack approached us with a clear goal for their website; Digestible news with a focus on speed and accessibility
for the mobile entrepreneur.
With an average length of less than 200 words and no images, we decided there would be no need to redirect users to individual article pages. The immediate benefit of keeping the reader on the same page is we eliminate any additional loading time associated with changing pages and you can read 9 more articles with zero delay. While you may not notice such impact browsing at work, it will greately benefit those on mobile networks. The inline experience means users can also move effortlessly from one article to the next.
The design was kept slim with a sharp focus on the content and reading experience. You'll find no fat in this web app, check it out at Minutehack.com
Hastings approached us looking to build on the success of the desktop insurance quoting engine we built for them. Looking at their visitor analytics it was clear there was a large volume of mobile visitors, but few who would have the patience to fill in several pages of small forms on a tiny device and who could blame them.
Normally we would insist that all our projects be responsive in a Post-PC era, however this was far more complicated than a brochureware site. Several pages of forms and a wide range of data types, it was decided responsive wasn't the best solution for a form filling exercise.
Mobile provides the challange of a small interface and a limited window of attention, we would have to make it as fast and enjoyable as possible to get to the price page. Being able to create a mobile specific site meant we could tailor every field to optimise entry for that data type.
The entire mobile site is a single page with no further page refreshes, giving it that snappy native experience without a trip to the App Store.

Portsmouth Opportunities Fair is a new annual event, created to inspire local 10 - 13 year olds
and show them what wonderful opportunities Portsmouth has to offer once they leave school.
After the success of 2012's event and with plans for 2013's already in place at the start of the year, we wanted to do our bit in return. We donated our time to design and build a new site for the fair.
This started by completely re-thinking the existing branding. We wanted to create a logo that
was fun and would be instantly associated with the Opps Fair. Inspired by ferris wheels and
multi directions or options, a recognisable mark was born. Accompanying the mark was a clear,
readable sans-serif with a hand scripted typeface to accentuate Portsmouth.
The design of the site looked to reflect the vibrancy of the branding and appeal not only to parents but their children too. Large blocks were used to help divide areas of content and informal, fun, illustrations were used to engage both parents and children.
We used video to help explain what the Opps Fair can offer, on the whole creating a media rich experience.

PlaneFinder creators, Pinkfroot, are a small, close-knit team, who focus and take great pride in creating innovative mobile apps, which are both interesting and fun to use. One of their most popular apps to date is PlaneFinder, an application which allows users to track flights and air traffic in real-time.
Pinkfroot came to us looking for a ground up re-write of PlaneFinder's website. The main purpose of the site was to up-sell their suite of mobile apps. To appeal to PlaneFinder's users, it was vital that the new website presented all the available plane data in an attractive and streamlined manner. Page load and performance were also key factors we had to consider when approaching the redesign, as it was important visitors got a real sense of the scale and speed at which PlaneFinder could deliver all the aircraft data and information.
The end result is something we are very proud of and we're pleased to say the guys at Pinkfroot loved our work too. To ensure absolute accuracy, careful and considered steps were taken to estimate the flight paths of each airplane, by extrapolating their current positions, heading and speed. We also incorporated the use of a 'playback' feature, which allowed users to go back to a specific date or timeframe and watch flights at variable playback speeds.

Disable Ping Dropdowns in iTunes 10.0.1
For me, it was partly the extra click (and holding down of Opt) necessary to get to the "Show in iTunes Library" options. Other than that, it's just pathological hatred of Ping :-)
Incidentally, a bug: If you have the Ping buttons enabled, but you have "invertStoreLinks" set, then the option will say "Show in iTunes Store" but mean "Show in iTunes Library", and if Opt is held then will say "Show in iTunes Library" but mean "Show in iTunes Store". Interesting, but not entirely unexpected.
Note, "disablePingSidebar" is another option available in this new version.

Problem solved!
For years, the fundamental issue of maintaining lifetime
vacuum in the reference chamber of a micro sensor reminded a huge
challenge. In the mid-nineties, Sensonor introduced an anodic wafer
bonding technology with electrical crossings buried under an
epitaxial layer. This solution secures both the hermetic reference
chamber and as well provides a stable inert environment for the
sensing system being piezo resistors or capacitive
Less than 0.1ppm failure rate for several 100 million
sensors tells the rest of the story. These unique solutions are now
made available for general applications in the ranges 0.5 to 20
Small and robust
A range of small and robust precision gyros based on the
balanced ButterflyGyroTM design is offered. The
ButterflyGyroTM design guarantees unbeaten performance
for demanding applications and for vibration exposed applications
in particular.
Pioneering MEMS gyros
From pioneering Silicon Gyros for automotive use,
we have further developed high precision MEMS based alternatives to
traditional gyro technology.
Wide range of performance
The performance spans from the SAR series gyro sensors,
closing the gap between low grade FOG's and traditional MEMS gyros,
to the STIM series gyro modules, representing a superior choice to
FOG's in respect to robustness, reliability, size/weight, power and
Enabling solutions
Sensonor makes a difference in the industrial sensor and
transducer community by focusing on products based on MEMS
technology for High Precision applications.
Our devotion is to serve customers with enabling solutions when
the combination of size, performance and robustness matter. We
offer products that can replace existing non efficient
Outstanding reliability
Sensonor has for more than 25 years played a significant role in
the global MEMS industry. Over the years, more than 250 million
pressure sensors, more than 250 million accelerometers, and more
than 2 million gyros have been shipped to customers for use in
numerous type of applications. Less than 0.1ppm field failures are
the ultimate proof of long term dedication and capability.
STIM300 is a non-GPS aided Inertial Measurement Unit suitable
for various commercial and defense guidance and navigation
applications. The IMU is insensitive to magnetic fields and is a
small, low weight solution - often used as an alternative to the
larger and more costly fiber optic gyro based systems.
When designing navigation systems, a reoccurring challenge is
how to decide on sensor performance with respect to desired system
performance. In a Sensonor sponsored webinar hosted by Inside GNSS
June 4th this topic will be addressed.

Revisiting Berkshire Hathaway's Valuation
In this article, we reassess Berkshire Hathaway's valuation from a price-to-book value standpoint and analyze whether recent appreciation of the shares is justified.
Benjamin Graham "Individuals who cannot master their emotions are ill-suited to profit from the investment process."
Warren Buffett "Look at market fluctuations as your friend rather than your enemy; profit from folly rather than participate in it."
In this article, we reassess Berkshire Hathaway's valuation from a price-to-book value standpoint and analyze whether recent appreciation of the shares is justified.
David Larcker and Brian Tayan of the Stanford Graduate School of Business recently published a paper entitled Corporate Governance According to Charles T. Munger which concisely outlines the governance philosophy that Mr. Munger has presented on a number of occasions. Read this article for more details.
The odds of a stock repurchase at Berkshire Hathaway may be increasing as Berkshire's stock price declines and a return of capital might be mandated due to the five year earnings test. In this article, we look at the likely implications based on Berkshire's last published book value and an estimate of current book value.
Berkshire Hathaway appears almost certain to fail Warren Buffett's five year earnings retention test when the 2013 annual report is released in February. We assess the validity of the test as well as the implications for Berkshire Hathaway if Mr. Buffett decides to return capital to shareholders.
Four years have passed since Berkshire Hathaway announced that it would acquire Burlington Northern Santa Fe in a cash and stock transaction. This article looks back at the transaction and attempts to determine whether it was a good deal for Berkshire.

Before the TCU women's basketball team began its first campaign through Big 12 play last season, coach Jeff Mittie knew depth would be necessary.At center, TCU lived and died by 6-foot-3 Latricia Lovings, one of only three players 6-foot-2 or taller on TCU's roster. Even then, Lovings was undersized against the giants of the Big 12, such as Baylor's Brittney Griner. At point guard, TCU featured one of the conference's best 3-point shooters, Zahna Medley. It was a tough maiden voyage in the Big 12 for the Horned Frogs. "Our young group, quite honestly, just got thrown in the fire," Mittie said. "When you start three freshmen and you're playing a bunch of freshmen, you have some lumps."However, with one recruiting class, Mittie has made strides toward building depth in those key positions, giving the team more versatility in several areas as the Horned Frogs head into their lone exhibition tonight against Southern Arkansas.TCU now boasts one of the tallest women's players in the country in 6-foot-6 freshman Klara Bradshaw.Since the beginning of preseason practice, TCU has worked on a rotation that puts Lovings and Bradshaw together, giving Lovings the ability to take her team-best shot-blocking skills farther out to the perimeter. It also allows Mittie more versatility in defensive sets, as TCU was forced to stick with a 2-3 zone through most of last season to help a smaller lineup. However, rebounding will still be a priority for Mittie, he said."While we're bigger, young centers don't chase rebounds," Mittie said. "They get rebounds because they're bigger and taller and that's just not how you get rebounds in college."Bradshaw has already made an instant impact on the program by giving Lovings a taller look defensively. "In practice, last year, it was me and another center that was about the same height, so it didn't challenge me to score over a taller person, but Klara, being strong as a freshman, she's helping me score over bigger people so when conference starts it will help me against those bigger teams," Lovings said.Along the same lines, TCU's biggest addition at point guard will not play this season due to NCAA transfer rules.TCU picked up Colleyville native and Texas A&M transfer Alexia Standish over the summer and her competition with Medley has caught Mittie's attention."I thought their workouts individually have been better than any point guard workouts I've had in my 20 years as a coach and I think it's directly related to those two competing against each other," he said.Mittie also said he believes this is the deepest point guard corps he's had in his 14-year tenure at TCU, which will allow Medley the opportunity to move into a shooting guard role as the team works to get her shots in offensive sets."I think we've got to get Medley as many shots as we can get her and if we have to ice her arm down after each game, we'll ice her arm down after each game," Mittie said.It was a rough introduction to the Big 12 last season, as TCU finished 2-16 in conference play and lost in the first round of the Big 12 tournament. But that hasn't stopped optimism that with experience gained and plenty of new faces, TCU's sophomore year will be a rebound."We're going into this season with a chip on our shoulder," Lovings said. "We felt like we could have won a lot more games than two last year in conference play. Once the season starts, we're playing with the intention to win the Big 12 or at least be in the top 5."
More information TCU's newcomers G Alexann Yancey, Sr., 5-8, transfer from OU C Klara Bradshaw, Fr. 6-6 G/F Jada Butts, Fr., 5-8 G AJ Alix, Fr., 5-6 G Alexia Standish, Jr. 5-8, will sit out this year per transfer rules

Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods And American Athlete WorshipEt cetera, The Fam — By Real Goes Right on January 23, 2013 at 7:17 am
By G. Hylton / @realgoesright
So at some point earlier this week, Lance Armstrong was on television telling people he took PEDs when he was winning every single competition imaginable in cycling. From a cursory glance of Armstrong's story, I learned when he was first accused of taking steroids, he took it upon himself to try and ruin the lives of the people who rallied against him. Almost a decade later, he decided to sit down and make the "typical white man" face while admitting to the world what I'm assuming people had already known.
Lance Armstrong, despite raising however millions of dollars in the name of cancer, is a lying, cheating piece of shit.
To this I say … who cares?
Lance Armstrong rides bikes for a living. Through all of this bike riding, he was somehow able to garner enough popularity to lend his name to a worthwhile cause and raise money for a good cause that affected people all over the world. Call me crazy, but I'm not about to let something as simple as him cheating get in the way of all the good he's done. You know why? Because Lance Armstrong is human and we humans are far from perfect.
You know, we should actually really consider what we, the American public, are saying by "demanding" a public apology from Lance Armstrong.
We're saying America, home to some of the most self-righteous, indignant, idiotic and self-serving general public are owed an apology from a man who cheated while he was riding bikes and earning millions of dollars for cancer research.
Really, America? What I would like to know is, who the fuck are you to be demanding apologies from people? Huh?
I know you read that last statement and thought, "Goddamn man, why are you angry?" I don't want you to think I'm angry. I'm amazingly calm and sipping on flavored water while writing this post. What I am, however, is perplexed at the hero worship Americans like to hoist onto athletes.
Athletes. Celebrities. Musicians. Whatever else. America has this super strange fascination with famous people and upholding them to deity-like standards to the point where these people have to apologize to America for simply being human. It's absolutely nuts.
I was on Twitter a few weeks ago, and I saw this hashtag #CutsForBieber. A million and a half teenage white kids with no adult supervision and razor sharp objects were cutting themselves as a protest to get Justin Bieber (or as I like to call him "Ellen") to stop smoking weed. I'm not an expert, but if I was Justin Bieber and I saw some shit like that, I'd probably keep rolling up. Matter of fact, I'm surprised Justin Bieber isn't smoking crystal meth after being made aware (I'm only guessing with this) that people have actually done this in his name. That's insane.
Of course, no public apology blog is going to be written without writing about Tiger Woods. Tiger Woods held a press conference to tell everybody he was sorry for cheating on his wife and going to a "sex clinic" in order to learn to … hell, I don't know what the hell his purpose was. I figured he said it to appease the people who wanted to know how he was going to show himself being repentant for his "sins" against humanity.
Look, Tiger, you're an American citizen. If you want to cheat on your wife, that's your right as an American citizen. The only person Tiger should have ever been explaining himself to is his wife. And hell, she tried to beat the shit out of him with a golf club, so clearly his explanation wasn't good enough for her. Why did he think a press conference would be good enough for us?
There's a certain segment of the population who feels that because they've had a hand in that person's personal fortune, there's some weird sort of relationship that's been created. "I've personally invested in your success by either spending money on your products or paying money to see you, therefore, you owe it to me to be a role model for my children."
Maybe I'm crazy, but in my opinion athletes don't really amount to anything other than people who are really good at one thing and therefore, they decided to capitalize on their talent. I don't understand why the general public ascribes to hold them to some sort of higher standard as if these people don't have anything else better to do than to cater to our whims of what we think they should be like.
Bottom line, famous person, unless you actually owe a duty to the American public (you know … like politicians) stop apologizing and explaining anything to the American people. Anybody who seems to be particularly preoccupied with the goings-on of famous people to the point where you feel that you're owed an apology because they messed up?
Kill yourself.
Peace.Tags: Fandom, Lance Armstrong, Tiger Woods
I agree with this 100 percent. I really don't care. I just don't. Lie, cheat, steal, whatever. Athletes are human too. I don't expect them to be role models. That's another thing our society gets wrong: role models shouldn't be famous people or anything like that, they should be important people in your lives: parents, teachers, friends, family members, coaches, mentors. Not athletes.
But, uh, as a white man, can I ask what a "typical white man face" is? Seriously, I have no idea what the fuck that's supposed to mean.
@Rev- there's a picture floating around Twitter of the general face white men make when they've been caught up in a "scandalous" situation.
Our culture is one of hero worship and idolatry. Not exactly sure when it started, but it's been ingrained in the collective psyche of society for decades, maybe centuries. The only people who can stop it (parents) are not being proactive enough to do anything about it, so it continues.
Gotcha. Missed that one!
I'm with Rev. I feel like us white people get a bad rap. What did we ever do? Don't answer that.
A lot of this stems from children. I'm not blaming them but they're the ones who want the jerseys, posters, highlight dvds, what have you. I don't have kids but I'd feel uneasy about my son having a Mike Vick (for example) poster on his wall because it's difficult to see anybody as their occupation alone.
I agree that the apologies are over the top and at times unnecessary but I understand why the public demands them. On the flip side, I would love to see an athlete say "This is a private matter. The only people I have to apologize to is my family." Of course if someone said that he'd be called out for ignoring his fans. It's complicated.
I have a personal problem with Lance and he owes me an apology. Tiger is different. He only offended his wife. Lance offended me. I want my apology.

If everyone had a smartphone
Gone are the days where life could go on without technology. Intertwined, at least in the middle class and up. Imagine that mobility.
Not that I reach even half of its capabilities, my smartphone is my brain's companion. I take pictures, download games, surf and socialise. I bank, work, play and create. I read, post, phone, listen and learn. I am productive, in a philosophical sort of way. But I could be more, for people educated correctly on how far they can push the barrel. I'm connected! Which has always been a way to commerce.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3. I rock!
For me and quite a few others. Honestly saying that after Blackberrys and iPhones, the S3 is a very popular phone. I see it everywhere. I know at least 6 people rocking it, I see constantly the public abound by its great ness. With funky headsets and bright covers, I think they hit a nerve here. Has Samsung finally cracked the code?
Any would do, I vote a smartphone in everyone's hands. And universal broadband to boot…2020?
Ps. Apologies for the schizophrenic post
