Hereby known as "That Goddamned Mill (TGDM for short)"
Here's the beast: http://www.maxnc.com/maxnc_10_cl-b.htm
Improperly used, the mill can destroy itself, its tools, and parts of you. Please know what you are doing and don't be afraid to ask questions.
- RTFM! Know how to home each axis, and what tools to use, how to shut down, etc. http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/
- Always check limits by manually running outside your mill area with the tool at a safe Z height.
- DO NOT MILL PRINTED CIRCUIT BOARDS WITH STEEL TOOLS! (Carbide only, see Tooling )
- USE EYE PROTECTION unless you like tweezering pieces of shattered carbide mill tools out of them
Though we have implemented basic safety shutoffs, we should be watching it all the time. It will very happily mill through itself without stopping.
If it appears to be getting out of hand, the F1 key should toggle Emergency Stop in the software. This will power down the spindle and stop it where it is immediately.
If it REALLY IS getting out of hand, turn the power switch off (the one on the side of the control box). Note however that after doing this you'll probably need to restart the software because it will be out of sync with the controller (it gets out of sync).
We are using http://linuxcnc.org EMC2 and AXIS software to drive the mill. We had to hack the config files considerably and reverse-engineer the pinout. See here for documentation: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/
We have installed EMC2 and AXIS and some other software on the driver PC. This depends on a custom kernel and Ubuntu 8.04 -- PLEASE DON'T UPGRADE!
The EMC2/AXIS software takes GCode as motion control input files. More info here: http://www.linuxcnc.org/docview/html/ We have figured out several Gcode #Toolchains for your CNC enjoyment
Local Installation
To experiment with EMC2/Axis machine on your personal Ubuntu/Debian setup, you may not want to apt-get emc2 because that depends on a special rtai kernel and Ubuntu 8.04. Here's a way to apt-get the pure simulator: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?EMC2_Pure_Simulator
If you are badass, you can compile the code in simulation mode following the instructions here: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Installing_EMC2#Building_emc2_simulator
The resulting binary should run and give you a UI on your system. There's actually nothing machine-specific that you need at this point: your UI will look pretty much exactly what we have now. Select the "axis.ini" config file.
You should now just be able to:
- open one of the sample gcode files
- power the machine 'on' (unset emergency stop [red X], and set power [orange square] buttons)
- 'home' the various axes (must home all axes, use radio buttons to select)
- 'run' the gcode. (blue "play" triangle)
For most of the configurations there is a smaller window w/ an inverted cone representing the spindle (this is the default view). This will show the progress of your milling run. You can change the view and pan/zoom/tilt with the mouse.
For a sanity check, try simulating a run of the NB logo gcode from Identity
Then try gcode from the toolchain of your choice.
Many tools exist for generating/converting to gcode. Here's a good list: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?Cam
In particular, here's how you generate gcode from
Bitmaps, Images
The EMC2/Axis application will import most image formats and create a raster scan tool path with milling depth proportional to image intensity. Haven't tried this but it looks very cool!

DXF is a standard file format used bty many CAD programs (as well as exportable from inkscape and Adobe Illustrator). It's a good choice, especially as gcode export from Inkscape seems to be buggy.
QCAD is an open-source 2d CAD program. Linux users can apt-get qcad, there is open-source executable for Windows as well (but it's hard to find as Ribbonsoft took it closed-source (wtf?) and most searches end up at their page.) QCAD is very solid and a great place to start with CAD, especially if you can't afford/don't need Autodesk/Solidworks.
We use a DXF-GCode conversion called, unsurprisingly, dxf2gcode http://www.christian-kohloeffel.homepage.t-online.de/dxf2gocde.html [URL is not a typo]. In the /home/nb/dxf2gcode directory, run the dxf2gcode_v01.py command.
Open your dxf file from File->Read DXF. It seems to barf on DXF exported from Inkscape, but is fine with QCAD, so a workaround is to load the Inkscape dxf in QCAD and save it from QCAD (it's also easy to scale and rotate if necessary).
I am still working through the various dxf2gcode options but setting "infeed depth" to the same value as "mill depth" gives you a one-pass toolpath (otherwise it seems to do it in two passes.)
Coordinate units are kind of a crapshoot and don't make much sense right now.
Note that it may be doing a lot of math without benefit of the numpy library so it can be SLOW. It has no progress indication, and doesn't redraw the screen, so it may look like it crashed. Sometimes it actually does. But be patient!
Cadsoft EagleCAD is a schematic editor and PCB layout tool. It's not open source, but there's a free version that is very decent and limited only to the size of board you can lay out.
To generate GCode from your Eagle layout, get the scripts from http://www.pcbgcode.org/. These do "Isolation routing," that is, they will generate GCode to mill away copper outside the traces you laid out on a copper-covered PCB (as well as drill it).
I've added MAXCNC mill-specific commands to the pcbgcode config stuff, including setting the spindle speed to maximum and turning on the motor. (Config file is /home/nb/eagle-5.6.0/ulp/gcode-defaults.h on the mill PC).
First experiments milling PCBs = success! Jtfoote 23:57, 17 October 2009 (PDT)
I used .01 carbide end mills from here: http://www.amazon.com/Niagara-Cutter-059918-Overall-Carbide/dp/B000N477OK/
On 1-sided copper-plated (1-oz) circuit boards from here: http://www.mpja.com/prodinfo.asp?number=14868+DT
To start, create a layout in Eaglecad. To work best, use one layer (which can make routing a pain), and use a minimum trace size of 0.012 inches. Make sure you do a DRC check with 10 mil isolation spacing (thouugh I have found it misses trace-pad distances).
From the Eagle command line,
run pcb-gcode-setup
This creates several gcode .ngc file in the same directory as your eagle .brd file. They have suffixes like "top" "bot" and "d" for top copper, bottom copper, and drill. Run AXIS2 and load the appropriate file. Look CAREFULLY at the tool path. Does it really isolate everything you want it to? If not, you may have to increase spacing and re-run. Check especially places of small pitch and tight clearances, especially between traces and pads.
Milling the copper is a tradeoff between quality and speed. At fast speeds, the copper tends to get rough at the milled edges. Slow speed rates help a lot but can lead to impractically long milling times.
2.5 ips gives beautiful results, but a good compromise is something like 5 - 8 ips (set in the pcb-gecode setup). If you look at File->properties in the EMC2-Axis tool it will give you a rough idea of the milling time.
Setting the Z home at precisely zero (at the board surface) is very important, because we are working at depths of hundredths of an inch. After several attempts I don't think you can do this well with just the manual jog, and risk breaking the tool. Here's what I did that worked:
- Raise the head so you can put the tool in the collet. Put it in as far as you can.
- Tighten gently, only enough to keep from falling out.
- Drop the head to about 1/4 an inch above the workpiece. Don't touch!
- Loosen the mill tool in the collet
- GENTLY let the mill tool drop to touch the workpiece surface
- finger-tighten the collet -- tightly!
- Home the Z axis VERY IMPORTANT DON'T FORGET!!
- Raise the head and wrench-tighten the collet
I think the default Z Down dimension of -0.01 may be too much given that 1-oz copper is supposed to be only 1.4 mils thick (0.0014 inches). I've had good results with -0.008; .0.005 led to problems because I think the PCB I used was not perfectly flat at at some places this depth did not hit "bottom." With further experiments this may be because the clamps are compressing the PCB: at least it seemed to work fine more than 1/2 inch away from them.
Latest: the gcode export from Inkscape is buggy. It's python so could possibly fix, but it looks kind of involved. Workaround: File->Save As-> .dxf, then use the QCAD->DXF toolchain.
For Inkscape 4.6, use this: http://bitbucket.org/jst/inkscape-gcode/ (Do "get source", put all files in /usr/share/inkscape/extensions/)
IMPORTANT: Read the "Help" tab when you Effect->Export->Export as Gcode This tells you how to set the origin, and how to name your layers for different tools.
In the exported GCode, you need to add/change the following lines:
Set the cut height to -0.01 (for example, YMMV)
#2=-0.0100 (Height to cut at)
Add commands to turn on the motor after the first line:
G00 Z#1 S 1000 (set motor speed to 1000 RPM) M3 (turn spindle motor on)
And you are good to go. ---
This is cool but only works for Inkscape 0.43: http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?InkscapeHowto
Cutting fiberglass (PCB) will eventually destroy any kind of steel cutting tool. The glass in the resin matrix is much harder than steel. You need carbide tooling. Available from suppliers: http://www.precisebits.com/applications/pcbtools.htm http://thinktink.com/ Note that carbide is too brittle for most metals and will just snap.
smallparts.com carries Niagara carbide end mills in fine pitches suitable for circuit boards. Available via Amazon as well.
http://www.ottofrei.com/ also sells carbide tooling locally, which you can pick up at their store on 760 Market street #905
High Speed Stainless (HSS) tooling available here: http://littlemachineshop.com/
search for "small parts inc" on amazon.com. They have reasonable prices and reasonable shipping for endmills. (You can also search for endmills) I believe we have a 1/4" and 1/8" collet for the mill, so you're looking for tools with a 1/4" or 1/8" shank. I mostly bought HSS for cutting plastic, but I have some harder ones with exotic coatings for aluminum and brass. --lamont

Workshop notes, 1.15.2010
Machine parts and geometry
- The bed is the blue anodized aluminum extrusion to which the workpiece is affixed.
- The collet' is mounted at the end of the motor. It holds the milling bit. Note: do not lose the collet, as it is basically impossible to obtain a replacement.
- The milling bit, which superficially resembles a drill bit, is used to machine the workpiece. To setup the machine, bits are inserted into the collet and then tightened with two wrenches.
- The workpiece is whatever you're milling - copper-clad board for PCBs, aluminum, acrylic, etc.
- Workpiece holders are small threaded rods with metal "clips" that are designed to hold the workpiece firmly to the bed. They should not be over-tightened, as it can cause workpiece distortion.
- Backing material is a piece of scrap material used between the bed and workpiece. It's important to use backing material to protect the bed.
- Limit switches are located at the end of each axis. These act as safeties in case the milling machine reaches the end of its travel. Note: if you're milling and manage to trip a limit switch, the mill shuts off, in which case you'll need to redo your work. Be diligent.
- The X axis runs side to side; e.g. the "width" of the bed.
- The Y axis runs forward and back; e.g. the "depth" of the bed.
- The Z axis runs up and down; e.g. the space between the bed and collet.
Affixing the workpiece to the mill
- Use a piece of aluminum stock between the PCB and the bed.
- Use adjustable wrenches to cinch down the workpiece holders to the PCB. You only want the bolts to be finger-tight; the fiberglass substrate can actually be compressed if too much pressure is used, causing distortions in the milled part. Do not use pliers.
- The collet faces upwards (like the tip of a rocket) into the spindle.
- Keep the plastic guard attached to the milling bit. Place the bit into the collet, and bolt the collet into the spindle.
Zeroing the machine
- Note: In the MaxNC control program, it's important to zero the mill - to set it to 0,0,0 - before routing a board. Occasionally, the milling machine will not home to 0,0,0 in the MaxNC control program. To fix this, go to Machine > Zero Coordinate System > P1 G54.
- In AXIS' Manual Control tab, adjust the X, Y, and Z axis feed controls until the tool is at the upper right corner of the circuit board.
- Chuck the bit, finger-tight.
- It is critical to zero the Z axis correctly. The idea is to drop the bit down onto the surface of the copper, with zero force, and then zero the axis. Use the manual controls to drop the bit, step by step, until it is about 1/4" above the surface of the PCB.
- Loosen the collet so that the bit drops onto the board. Tighten the collet.
- Immediately zero the Z axis.
- Controls for starting / stepping / stopping milling operations are located in AXIS' top toolbar.
- At this point, all of the axes should be zeroed.
- Click the Go button in the toolbar to start milling.

One of Western Kentucky University's most in-demand programs is getting some federal funding. Senator Jim Bunning was at the Knicely Conference Center at WKU's south campus to present a $400,000 check.
The check is for the accelerated Master of Science in the nursing program. Fifteen graduate fellowships will offset the cost of advanced education.
Beverly Siegrist is the coordinator of the program. She says, "I'm talking to applicants from all over Kentucky- Louisville, Elizabethtown. So the word is getting out. We hope to put about 15 more faculty out in the workforce in about a year."
The accelerated program will allow nurses to graduate in less time. This program will help address the serious shortage in nursing faculty-which is another complication to the shortage of nurses nationwide.

Right now I
- log into the new server
- put the puppet master in /etc/hosts
- install puppet
- change "START" to "yes" in /etc/default/puppet
- change "server" to puppet master name under [main]
- run agent with --waitforcert
- sign it over on the puppet master.
I'd like for this to be automated. The long-term goal is to easily scale up and down as resources are needed.

We are currently running an OS X Server, and for the past month or two, it has been crashing around the same times. There is no rhyme or reason as to why, and the logs do not tell a full picture as to why.
I am assuming it is either a cron job that is running or something that is scheduled, and it is accessing something that is corrupt or something that is wearing down.
Has anybody else run into this, or some possible guidance as far as where to look?
Edit: This is a screen shot of the console "All Messages" option, as I couldn't find any definitive logs that would give me any clarity. We recorded the crash at around 11:43-11:44 Today. So it can be any day, but normally between 9:30 and 12:00. I don't know if it is someone accessing a corrupt file on the server or not.

Alternator Upgrades - Junkyard BuilderWritten by Jeff Smith on January 22, 2014
In the early muscle-car days, an alternator capable of 60 amps was considered more than enough to handle the meager electrical demands of a point-triggered ignition system, a 20-amp defroster fan, and a pair of headlights. But today, with EFI, current-hungry electric fans, high-demand nitrous solenoids, big stereos, and other electrical accessories all creating a watts riot, 21st century charging system standards have escalated to 100 or more amps from that same alternator. So if you haven't already done it, now is a good time to take advantage of all this OE electrical power that's just sitting in boneyards. This article will focus on how easy it is to integrate these new alternators into your older muscle car with emphasis on the electrical side of these conversions. Mounting the alternator should be easy since most of these alternators use the same basic mounting lug orientation. When junkyard hunting, look for an alternator with mounting bosses configured in the same orientation as your alternator. With the alternator mounted, we'll show you how to wire it.
The first GM 10DN alternator appeared on the '63 Corvette and used a remote-mounted voltage regulator. These alternators were rated around 40 amps and are prime material for an upgrade. The 10 and 12 SI alternators were the second-generation units and are generally the same size with similar mounting bosses. SI is an acronym for systems integrated because the voltage regulator was moved inside the alternator. GM built millions of these units from the '70s until the CS130 debuted in 1986. The CS (charging system) alternators offered a generous increase in idle amperage output (generally around 80 amps) with maximum output around 100 to 105 amps. This is an important point. Early alternators required high rpm to achieve maximum output, while late-model versions can achieve 90 percent of maximum output at idle. The CS121, CS130, and CS144 numbers refer to Stator diameters as measured in millimeters. The most popular are the CS130 alternators with a case diameter of 5.12 inches. The CS130D is also slightly larger than the CS130, but the mounting lugs are the same. As case diameter increases, this creates more room for additional wiring and larger rotors, which increase output. Because the CS144 is larger (5.9 inches), it is capable of roughly 140 amps of max output. Keep in mind that as output capacity increases, so does heat. Another little-known fact is that the integral fans pull air through the alternator from the rear and exit the front. This means keeping the rear of the alternator free of obstructions will improve alternator life. We've listed several companies that offer adapter connectors, or you can also wire them yourself using replacement factory connectors and save some money.

The early 10DN alternators used an external voltage regulator. The classic swap is to upgrade to a 12SI alternator and eliminate the regulator. This Powermaster adapter (PN 140) makes for an easy conversion.To upgrade a 12SI alternator ('80s Monte Carlos and Camaros), the CS130 is a good swap. The 12SI alternator has two leads. Lead 1 goes to the indicator light, while the No. 2 connector is a voltage-sensing wire. The CS130 alternator uses four connections—marked either PLFS or PLI/FS. In either case, using a stock connector, connect the L to either the charge indicator light from under the dash or to a switched 12-volt wire, using a 50- to 100-ohm resistor from Radio Shack.The CS130, and CS130D alternators wire the same way, but the connectors are different. The CS130 (bottom) employs a rectangular connector, while the CS130D (top) is oval. This is a Painless adapter.If you want to wire the 10DN to 12SI conversion yourself, this diagram will help. Disconnect the flat, four-wire voltage regulator plug and jump the F and 4 wires together. Using a stock 12SI alternator connector, route the F wire to the No. 1 terminal and the 4 wire from the regulator to the No. 1 terminal on the alternator. M&H Electric makes a simple jumper kit that's attractively priced and makes this conversion really simple so you don't have to cut any wires. M&H also makes a similar kit to upgrade to a CS130 alternator.To wire a CS130 alternator with the rectangular connector, all you have to do is wire the L pin to an indicator light and then route the S or voltage sensing wire to a full-time (non-switched) voltage source that will indicate battery voltage.To wire the CS130D alternator into an older GM vehicle, Painless makes an adapter (PN 3705) that connects the I terminal on the alternator to a charge indicator light. If you don't use the light, then you must use an 50- to 100-ohm, 5-watt resistor, which is included in the kit PN 30705. We have also wired this alternator using just the L terminal. Without the resistor, full voltage will kill the internal regulator. END

Can we help our fellow geek solve his homebrew problem?
I'm making a barley wine. My boil gravity should be 1.106. Hydrometer reads 1.042, and at 140°F (60°C) the adjusted SG comes out to more like 1.06. Iodine test says I have all the sugars out.
I mashed 22 pounds (10kg) at 148°F (64.4°C) for 90 minutes, just like the book said. I have collected just about 6 gallons.
Did I sparge too fast? Do I put the wort back into the mash tun and keep it there for X minutes or something? Am I going to have to put LME or DME into the boil?
I will be very unhappy if I [expletive] this up beyond salvaging. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.


text: Here is a lesson that I know a lot of people are going to be excited about. I thought I was going to get requests for the eyes of animals that are common like; lions, tigers, wolves, snakes, and etc. Someone asked if I could make a tutorial on "how to draw fox eyes", step by step. Now I know the fox is a very popular animal, but I didn't really think that drawing fox eyes would be something that people would want. I guess it's because I get a lot of people asking for animal lessons that I have already done. For example, on a daily basis I have artists asking for more lions, more wolves, more dragons, more penguins, more bears, and more, well, just look at the top 50 and you will know what types of animals people love. The fox are sly animals that have a very specific way of living. They are one of the few animals that can co-exist with people without posing problems. But then again, if you live on a farm foxes can become a nuisance. Anyways, this was an enjoyable task to tackle because drawing fox eyes are different then big cats and wolves. Adios people, and remember to keep those requests coming in.

DARLINGTON, S.C — Despite not having crew chief Jason Ratcliff at Darlington Raceway, Matt Kenseth won Saturday night's Southern 500 after passing his Joe Gibbs Racing teammate, Kyle Busch, for the lead in the closing laps.
Busch had dominated the race by leading 265 of 367 laps, but he suffered a cut right-rear tire within the 20 final laps, allowing Kenseth to chase him down and then make the winning pass with 13 laps to go.
Kenseth claimed his third win of the season, which is the most in the series. He also earned his 27th career Sprint Cup Series victory, including his first in this famed 500-mile race at Darlington.
Denny Hamlin, who is Kenseth's teammate at JGR, finished second in his first full race since suffering a compression fracture in his lower back seven weeks ago in Fontana, Calif. It gave JGR a 1-2 finish.
Jeff Gordon's third-place run allowed him to claim his 300th top-5 finish in his 700th career start in the series.
Jimmie Johnson, the defending race winner, and Kevin Harvick rounded out the top-five. Busch ended up finishing sixth. He won Friday night's Nationwide Series race at Darlington, leading 107 of 147 laps in that event.
On Wednesday, Kenseth's No. 20 team had its severe penalties significantly reduced by the National Stock Car Racing Appeals Panel. Ratcliff's suspension was shortened from six points-paying races to only one (Darlington). Wally Brown, who filled in for Ratcliff, collected his first Sprint Cup victory as a crew chief.
NASCAR assessed the penalties to the No. 20 team on April 24 after officials found one of the connecting rods on Kenseth's engine used at Kansas did not meet the minimum connecting rod weight. The violation was discovered during a secondary post-race inspection of his motor at the NASCAR Research and Development Center in Concord, N.C.

How can it be proved that the Euler constant equals the limit of the sum of all $\frac{1}{k!}$ when $k$ goes from $0$ to $+\infty$ ?
But I encountered the same doubt when I was reading the " Synopsis of elementary results in mathematics ", I convinced myself with this two facts ( I don't know whether they are true or not, that should be decided by Mr.Srivatsan ) .
The function $e^x$ has derivative equal to itself. Then the Maclaurin series for any function which can be differentiated as many times as you like is
$$f(x) =\large \frac{f(0)}{0!} + f^\prime(0)\cdot\large \frac{x}{1!} + f^{\prime\prime}(0)\cdot\large \frac{x^2}{2!} + f^{\prime\prime\prime}(0).\frac{x^3}{3!} + \cdots$$
For $f(x) = e^x$, you have
$e^x = f(x) = f^\prime(x) = f^{\prime\prime}(x) = f^{\prime\prime\prime}(x) = \cdots 1 = f(0) = f^\prime(0) = f^{\prime\prime}(0) = f^{\prime\prime\prime}(0) = \cdots$
and the Maclaurin series for $e^x$ is then
$$e^x =\large 1 + \frac{x}{1!} + \frac{x^2}{2!} +\frac{ x^3}{3!} + \frac{x^4}{4!} + \cdots$$
Now set $x = 1$, and you get the series about which you asked.
Another version:
The definition of $e$ is
$$e = \lim_{n\to \infty}(1+1/n)^n $$
Consider the binomial expansion for$ n = 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, \ldots$
$$(1+1/n)^n = \sum^n_{i=0}C(n,i) (1/n)^i$$
For $i = 0, 1, 2, 3, \ldots$ one has
$$C(n,i)(1/n)^i = \rm{ \large \frac{n!}{(n-i)!i!n^i}}$$ $$ = (1)(1-1/n)(1-2/n)\cdots (1-[i-1]/n)/i!$$
whose limit as n grows without bound is $\large\frac{1}{i!}$ . Then
$$ \lim_{ n\to \infty} (1+1/n)^n = \lim_{ n\to \infty} \sum^n_{i=0} C(n,i) (1/n)^i$$ $$= \sum^\infty_{i=0} \lim_{n\to \infty} C(n,i)(1/n)^i$$
$$e = \sum^{\infty}_{i=0} 1/i!$$
Hence the result.
( Credits of editing goes to Mr.Srivatsan , as he taught me to use ' instead of \prime and many more things which made my answer appear more neatly, and also for Mr.Michael Hardy, for editing the answer which now appears more neatly ).
Thank you.
Yours truly,
I'll assume $e=\lim_{n\to\infty}(1+1/n)^n$. Here is a heuristic argument that can be made rigorous. Apply the binomial theorem to $(1+1/n)^n$ to get $$(1+1/n)^n=\sum_{k=0}^n \binom{n}{k}n^{-k}=1+n/n+\frac{n(n-1)}{2n^2}+\cdots$$ This is approximately $1+1+\frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{3!}+\cdots.$ Taking the limit as $n$ goes to infinity, we get $e=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \frac{1}{k!}$.
I've made it a community wiki in case anyone wants to supply some of the missing details to make it fully rigorous.
You have to prove that the sequence of partial sums of the series converges. But for all $x$ , $e^x=1+x+....+x^n/n!+r(x)$ where $r(x)$ is the rest of order $n$. Prove that for $x=1$ the sequence $r(x)$ converges to zero. You can use the formula of Lagrange, and use $e<3$.

I'm allergic to penicillin, the antibiotic. I just got a new (European) passport. Is there some 'best practices'/common way to mark this allergy on my passport? I filled in the emergency contact & blood group details, so I wonder if I should put penicillin allergy down? Is there any commonly understood code/symbol/wording? Or should I just write "PENICILLIN ALLERGY" (and whatever that is in French) on the same page as the blood group details?
I wouldn't count on your passport being something other people looked at when deciding to treat you. In Canada people use MedicAlert bracelets for this purpose - according to their website they're international.
Really important things like allergies are engraved on the back, and there's a code that hospitals can use when they phone, and they can get more details.
Do NOT write in your passport, apart from the fields specified. Any additional marking that isn't done by passport officials can cause you problems at borders - I've seen it happen first hand :/
Also - as @Kate says, a medical staff member is unlikely to look at your passport for such things. In general, best practice is to get a Medic Alert wrist bracelet or necklace (I've got the bracelet) and it comes with a card that you can put in your wallet.
Medical staff are far more likely to look at a medical bracelet, or search your wallet for information, than to look in a book that is specifically for border crossings. You may get lucky, but I'd be more inclined to suggest the others instead.
I've had my Medic Alert bracelet looked at / recognised by medical staff in five continents, so it seems pretty international, and hard to miss. I don't even notice that I wear it any more.
Well, when a patient has penicillin allergy in a hospital, we always write
But it is true, an EMT or a doctor wouldn't look into your passport to check about your medical conditions. You can either have a bracelet and a card in your wallet (as mentioned) or a small tattoo in your chest area or your arm.
Mind you, if you do have a bracelet, try and get it in Latin, even though English is fine as well.

Combobox dropdowns cut off when screen height is shortened
I am unable to access all of the options in a combobox when my screen height (or IFrame height) is shortened to a small enough size. See the attached image of the GXT showcase, when the browser (Firefox) is compressed to a shorter height. You have the same effect when you are in an IFrame (portlets, etc..).
GXT 2 had a setMaxHeight option for ComboBox, which might provide a workaround this problem, but this is missing from GXT 3.
17 Apr 2012 12:29 PM #2
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I've filed a ticket to have one of the engineers take a look. I'll update this thread with any changes we decide to make.
31 May 2012 6:30 AM #3
Has there been any progress on this bug? It's a big problem in our system, which has a GXT form in an vertical-space limited Iframe.
27 Aug 2012 3:53 AM #4
Impacts us as well ..
This is impacting us as we are trying to use an ext js 4.1 combobox in a small browserwindow..
Does anyone know of any workarounds for this ?
Edit: Still no movement on this ?
Should this issue be raised separately for ext js 4.1 as well ?

Hope Confronting Cancer bronze on Belgian black marble 8.5 inches 1991
I carved "Hope Confronting Cancer" in a small piece of creamy white alabaster for a childhood friend, Rejeanne, who had lost a breast to cancer. I wanted to tell her that she was as lovely as ever, that there was hope and that we loved her even more. This piece was broken, and I then cast it in a bronze edition.
Like a lot of other people, I, too, have had cancer. I am still being monitored, even after 15 years. I am alive and refuse to believe that I will not make it.
I am 65, Rejeanne would be now 58.

In Europe, a Moment of Truth on Defense
Europe's armed forces can't seem to escape the front lines. French forces, with logistical help from its allies, have moved deep into Mali. Under the auspices of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, European military forces are deeply involved in Afghanistan as the combat mission there is winding down, and in Kosovo.
For European defense, this is a testing time. Military establishments face three big challenges: economic austerity that is leading governments to slash defense spending, the end of combat operations in Afghanistan that could mean many national forces losing operational experience, and the "leading-from-behind" stance of the Obama administration and the insistence in Washington that Europe needs to carry more of its own national security burden.
As he praised France on Thursday for its "decisive action" in Mali, Anders Fogh Rasmussen, secretary-general of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, said the operation, which isn't NATO-led, "also illustrates that European allies still need strong support from the U.S. in their endeavors to carry out such an operation." U.S. help is needed, for example, to provide military capabilities in intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance, he said.
Other European weaknesses include a lack of air-to-air refueling and abilities to suppress enemy air defenses (though that isn't relevant in Mali).
Mr. Rasmussen was speaking as he launched NATO's 2012 annual report, which draws attention to three big risks for the 28-nation alliance. These are a widening capabilities gap between the U.S. and its European allies; a widening gap within Europe, in which some countries continue to acquire new capabilities and others don't; and the rise of emerging powers that could limit the West's capacity to exert influence on the international stage.
To stop these risks from being realized, he called for NATO nations to hold the line on defense investment. "There is a lower limit on how little we can spend on defense, while living up to our responsibilities," he said, in a hint that some countries can't cut more. He also called for a commitment from allies to start closing the gaps once their economies start to recover, and also for them to work more closely together.Mr. Rasmussen has also launched a "smart defense" initiative to encourage allies to cooperate on defense procurement and in role specialization.
For good historical reasons, such NATO initiatives meet with skepticism. "Almost every single initiative adopted by the alliance, to put it kindly, has not met with success," says Jonathan Eyal of the Royal United Services Institute, a London defense think tank.
In 2006, allies agreed to commit to spend a minimum of 2% of gross domestic product on defense. According to Mr. Rasmussen's annual report, just three of the allies—the U.S., the U.K., and Greece—met their commitment in 2012. Spain, to cite one major economy in severe financial crisis, has allowed its defense spending to fall below 1% of GDP.
The NATO members also agreed to devote a fifth of their defense spending to major equipment purchases. Only five allies met that test in 2012: France, Luxembourg, Turkey, the U.S. and U.K.
These measures need further qualification, says Tomas Valasek, president of the Central European Policy Institute in Slovakia. Some countries that fail to meet the 2% standard get a pretty big bang for the buck—such as the Netherlands and Denmark, with effective armed forces.
He suggests the alliance adopt another measure: how much of its defense budget a nation spends on personnel, including pensions. The best performers by this measure are Estonia (32.3% spent on personnel in 2011), the U.K. (35.7%), the U.S. (41.4%) and Canada (42.5%). In the bottom five, Italy spends nearly a three-quarters of its defense budget on personnel, Belgium just over that, and Romania 80%.
When NATO initiatives are successful, they are usually forged in crisis, Mr. Eyal says.
NATO's national armed forces were always able to operate together in theory, but when allies went to war in the Balkans in the 1990s, they found they couldn't talk to each other by radio. After combat operations exposed deficiencies, allies also worked to standardize air-to-air refueling nozzles and connecting bombs to aircraft.
NATO allies are increasingly not the only countries that matter to the alliance. "The real question for NATO," says Ivo Daalder, the U.S. ambassador to NATO, "is will NATO continue to provide the core capabilities and do we provide the forces to provide the core capabilities that other countries can plug into."
"We need to think about how can we bring partners, from as close as Austria, which operates with us in Kosovo, to as far away as Australia," he says.
One example comes from the 2011 military operation over Libya, in which non-NATO Sweden took an important role. Swedish aircraft carried out a lot of airborne surveillance but couldn't upload the material into NATO's intelligence systems. The information had to be transferred using thumb drives.
There's another issue NATO has to watch out for as its combat operations wind down in Afghanistan, says Mr. Daalder. "As we draw down, we are not going to have the same kind of operational experience in our armed forces, the interoperability... We need to think about how we are going to maintain that," he says.
That puts an onus on training, military exercises, and making sure the NATO Response Force, which is meant to provide rapid-reaction forces for deployment at short notice, is up to the job.

The war at sea took a huge toll during WW2. Has there been an official estimate of how much oil was spilled into the oceans during the world wide conflict?
I found a paper from 2005 analyzing the current sate of potentially polluting wrecks from World War 2. It has the information we need:
A low estimate would be 1.5 billion gallons (assuming 20 percent full at time of wreck). A reasonable average would be 3.8 billion gallons of oil spilled in maritime waters during World War 2. This estimate includes both military vessels and non-military vessels sunk during World War 2. It does not include oil spilled in rivers or freshwater lakes.

Looking at the definition for redact, it sounds as if it specifically applies to text. Can it be used with images and diagrams as well?

If you don't specify what to redact, a listener might assume you mean to sanitize a document or black out text. There's a strong association with text, but it doesn't mean you can't use the word "redact" with other things.
The current use of redact often includes image redaction, especially when discussing electronic files such as Word or PDF documents.
The NSA Redacting with Confidence guide (note, 1.4MB PDF available from NSA index) discusses redacting images - for example:
Adobe PDF tutorials also address this issue with phrases like:
So if you say
you'll be understood.
Note: Redaction has a specific meaning in literature. I'm assuming you're talking about the document sanitization meaning.
While you might be understood when using it in a different context, it is generally recognized as referring to a process that is only performed on a text.

For more than 20 years, Assumption High School has produced one outstanding volleyball team after another. Annual crops of talent have become the norm on Tyler Lane, and – unfortunately for local opponents – this year is no different.
The 2012 season got underway this week and the reloaded Rockets are once again the standard-bearer for the state, if not the nation.
"We've got quite a few kids returning, which is good," said coach Ron Kordes, who is entering his 25th season. "I think we've got all the bases covered."
Assumption went 43-1 last season and won the elite Durango Invitational (Las Vegas) and Asics Challenge (Chicago) on the way to its second straight state title and 16th in 20 years. Filling the leadership vacuum left by graduated National Player of the Year Katie George will be difficult, but Kordes is "very confident" this team can pull off a three-peat.
"They don't want to be the ones to stumble," he said.
Five of six starters have committed to D-I colleges, including 6-foot-3 senior middle Taylor Paulson (Saint Louis), and senior defensive specialists London Ackermann (Georgia Tech) and Kaelin Grimes (Western Kentucky).
Junior Alexa Philley, an Auburn commit, split setting duties with George last season in a modified 6-2 offense, but this year she will be the sole assist dealer in a 5-1.
Next month Assumption will be treated to an all-expenses-paid trip to the three-team Clash at Creighton tournament in Omaha, Neb., where they will tangle with fellow powerhouses Torrey Pines (Calif.) and Papillion-La Vista South (Neb.).
"It's likely that Torrey Pines is going to be the No. 1 team in the country preseason so there will be an opportunity for Assumption to take over the No. 1 spot," said John Tawa, owner and CEO of PrepVolleyball.com, which is organizing the Sept. 26 event. "I expect the Torrey Pines-Assumption match will be incredible."
Tawa added that Assumption will be No. 2 or No. 3 when his first national rankings are released.
Closer to home, Sacred Heart is looking to challenge Assumption in the Seventh Region.
The Valkyries' roster features nine seniors and a potent outside hitter in junior Ashley Askin (6'1, Georgia Tech commit).
Additionally, Sacred Heart Coach Eric Garvey has been pleasantly surprised by the play of setter Amy Evans, who opted not to play club ball before her senior year. "She was my biggest question mark coming into this season, but I was honestly shocked the last three weeks at how well she's playing. She's clicking with our hitters and looking great," Garvey said.
Katie Bradley, a Lipscomb commit and two-year starter at middle for Sacred Heart, tore her ACL while training over spring break and will miss her final season.
Manual returns four starters, including Gabbi Greenwald (6'2, M) and Kentucky Miss Volleyball contender Maya McClendon. An outside hitter, McClendon is a mere 5-foot-10, but boasts a 10-foot reach. "Her athleticism is scary," said Kordes.
McClendon is committed to the University of Louisville and will travel to Nicaragua with the U.S.A. Volleyball Junior National Team later this month for the NORCECA Continental Championships.
In the Sixth Region, junior Courtney Crable (6'1, OH) will provide firepower for a young Mercy team, which graduated six seniors. Senior defensive specialist Leah Edgerton figures to be an important cog in the back row and sophomore Lexie Hamrick (6'2) is a promising young middle.
One factor that could determine the Jaguars' fate is how quickly freshman setter Morgan Elmore gets acclimated to the high school game.
"I've coached a lot of good setters here and I don't think any of them have been up to it as a freshman, but I think that she's going to be," said Jaguars coach Todd Garvey (Eric's brother).
Beginning this year, most regular-season and all postseason matches will be decided in a best-of-five format, instead of best-of-three.
"The three out of five we love because I think we take pride in trying to get in real good shape and hopefully that can favor us a little bit," Todd Garvey said.
Here are the details on Louisville's best:
Seventh Region
Coach – Ron Kordes (25th Season)
Last season – 43-1, State champion; Beat Greenwood 2-0 in final

I'll like to use a symbol font character (upper right in the image, Glyph 5081). How can I copy the character from the Font Book and paste to another app?
UPDATE: I can find the character at left, but not the one at right:
The Font Book application can't paste glyphs into other applications.
You would need to use the Character Viewer of OS X. This tool is made to view all Unicode-defined characters in their font-specific renderings. You can then paste the glyph you want into any text input/editing application by double-clicking on the glyph.
Character Viewer is launched via the Keyboard menu in the top menu bar (click on the national flag). If you can't find it in the menu bar, open
The Character Viewer can be configured. There have been some changes starting with OS X 10.7, so the handling depends on the version of OS X you have.
Character Viewer also has a special feature for dingbats fonts (Webdings, Wingdings). To activate it, click the gear button ⚙ and choose
If you already know the Unicode address or a part of the name of the character you want, enter it directly into the search field:
The character viewer sucks if you're trying to use an icon font. I ended up paying $10 for the Ultra Character Map software (from iTunes store) — it lets you view all the characters of a font (like FontBook), lets you see glyph variants (like Character Viewer) and lets you copy an individual glyph (like Character Viewer).
The reason I couldn't use Character Viewer is because it organizes everything by unicode symbol. It's super tedious for me to look up the unicode for the icon font I'm using — in other words, if you don't know the unicode symbol and just want to browse the glyphs of a given typeface, you're hosed in Character Viewer.
There's two things that need to be copied here, the character code, and the font name. Most all software should copy the character code. I'm not sure if all software will also bring along with it the font name.
The steps would be:
I ended up creating a psd file with every character of every icon font on my computer, and just cut and paste out of that. Not really ideal though.

6 Intimate Details You Can Tell Just By Looking At Someone
How much would you pay to be able to read another person's mind? As superpowers go, it's a hell of a lot more of a game changer than, say, flight. Your career, your relationships -- everything would change.
But experts say you can gather a whole bunch of intimate details about a person just by looking at them. No, it's not 100 percent accurate, and it's not magic. It's just science.
#6. Is She Interested In You? Look at Her Feet.
Remember back in high school when you were talking to that cute girl you really liked, but you couldn't tell if she liked you back, and your fear of rejection prevented you from expressing your feelings in any way apart from night after night of tearful masturbation? Remember when you did the same thing last week? Wouldn't asking someone out be so much easier if you knew how they'd answer before you asked them?
Science to the rescue!
How? Tell Me!
Experts will tell you it's all in the body language, but you know better. People -- and especially women -- are really, really good at feigning disinterest. Anything short of the woman outright grabbing your junk will be lost on most guys.
"I realized she was into me right around the time we started having sex."
But watch her feet.
Apparently, people aren't as conscious of their foot movements as they are of other parts of their body, and so their feet can unconsciously send messages about themselves. They did a study at the University of Manchester on this, studying subjects' foot movements in various social situations.
The angle of her heels says "I put out," but those knees say "not for you."
Specifically, they found if a woman moves her feet apart to adopt a more open-legged stance, it generally means that she's into you. However, if she finds you utterly repulsive, she will likely cross her legs or keep them tucked underneath her body. We'll, uh, let you figure out the symbolic meaning of those gestures.
And while we're on the subject ...
#5. You Can Tell if a Woman Has Had an Orgasm by How She Walks
Of course, all of our male readers are already virtual experts on the subject of female sexuality. But for the rare, sheltered fan who isn't, we need to explain something about the female orgasm. When it comes to climaxing, ladies can do it two ways: from the inside or from the outside. The inside orgasm comes from the G-spot, and is super easy to achieve if her partner's penis is shaped like a letter "J." Most women, however, climax from the outside, or clitoral stimulation.
Some women require more ... elaborate measures to achieve orgasm.
If for some reason you are curious to know whether, say, the lady who delivers your mail has regular vaginal orgasms, there's an easy way to tell.
How? Tell Me!
By the way she walks. Not joking.
Rascal-bound women remain as damnably incomprehensible as ever.
A group of sexologists (which is apparently a thing) from the Universite Catholique de Louvain in Belgium studied the connection between the way a woman walks and her vaginal orgasm history. What else did you think sexologists studied?
They gathered a group of women -- half had never had vaginal orgasms, half had. And then, we shit you not, the scientists had to guess which group each lady fell into by the way she sashayed her stuff across the room.
"I don't know about you Dr. Stodgson, but I suddenly feel like this might be the most important study we've ever conducted."
And here was the kicker: It worked. The sexologists could determine whether or not the woman in question could have a vaginal orgasm with freaking 81.25 percent accuracy.
Now, we caution you against trying this if you're not a trained sexologist yourself -- we're not responsible for any injuries or incorrect conclusions drawn. But the experts say women who were climaxing from the inside had longer stride lengths, greater pelvic rotation and an "absence of both flaccid and locked muscles." In other words, they had a little shake in their hips, a little pep in their stride and didn't look like they were clenching a tennis ball with their thigh muscles. A loose but confident walk. Now you know, and you'll never, never un-know.
We're so sorry.
"Loosey goosey, babycakes."
#4. You Can Tell Their Political Views by Their Eyes
Granted, most of the time you know somebody's political leanings because they will goddamn tell you. But not everybody broadcasts their beliefs via shouted slogans and bumper stickers.
Some of us prefer to start loud political arguments in the middle of crowded restaurants.
Fortunately, it turns out that there are subtle clues that indicate if a person is liberal or conservative -- you just have to know what to look for.
How? Tell Me!
And by "look" we literally mean "look," because eye contact is actually a great indicator of political beliefs.
The enlarged cornea means this person is extremely concerned with the deficit.
Researchers have found that during conversations, left-leaning people were more likely to follow the other person's "eye cues" than conservatives. Let's say you are having a conversation with someone and you suddenly take your gaze off them to look at something slightly to the right, say a cute person or a passing zebra. Liberals are more likely to follow your gaze and look as well, even if what you are looking at has no bearing on the conversation. If you look away again, they will follow your gaze again, and so on and so on, like two little puppies distracted by shiny passing balloons.
Statistically speaking, about half of you just glanced up at the ceiling.
Conservatives are almost never going to follow your gaze, but will continue looking straight at you, like robots. Those conducting the study speculated that conservatives held their gaze because, no lie, they don't like being told what to do.
"I reflexively reject the opinions of others and I have no idea why."

5 Ridiculous Cold War Myths You Learned in History Class
The second half of the 20th century was dominated by the world's two remaining superpowers facing each other down. The rest of the world rallied behind one or the other as Soviet and American forces started in on spying and covert warring. There were good guys and bad guys, and it was all bullshit. For instance ...
#5. "Ich bin ein Berliner"
It was the culmination of Kennedy's remarks in West Germany at one of the most volatile points in the Cold War. The speech was a hugely important, brilliantly scripted rallying cry for democracy, but there's a reason people still repeat to this day.
See, while Kennedy confidently delivered his kicker, "Ich bin ein Berliner" and prepared to drop the mic and walk offstage, the Germans were laughing their asses off. Because the phrase that Kennedy thought meant "I am a Berliner" actually translated to "I am a jelly-filled doughnut!"
"This comedian is terrible. Bring on David Hasselhoff!"
Why It's Bullshit:
According to German professor Reinhold Aman in his epic volume Maledicta, "No intelligent native speaker of German tittered in Berlin when JFK spoke." Despite the BBC, The Guardian, MSNBC, CNN, Time magazine and The New York Times reporting otherwise, Aman says, "'Ich bin (ein) Berliner' means 'I am a Berliner' ... and absolutely nothing else!"
"I am neither delicious nor fattening" has a special word in 36 languages.
The pedantic jack offs who still repeat this anecdote claim the use of the word "ein" is what screwed Kennedy. They point out that "Ich bin Berliner" means "I am from Berlin," and that adding the "ein" changes the meaning. Both facts are true. A rough English equivalent of what Kennedy said was "I am a New Yorker," whereas the phrase the pedantic jack offs claim he should have said translates to "I am from New York." The jelly doughnut myth is like claiming that an audience in Manhattan heard a politician say "I am a New Yorker" and took him to mean "I am a New Yorker magazine." Saying "I am a New Yorker" makes more sense as a symbolic statement of solidarity, and it's the same in German. Which is why people who speak German generally compliment Kennedy's choice as being the more nuanced, conversational phrasing.
Because Germans are absolutely not known for being brazen and awkward.
There's also the fact that people who are actually from Berlin don't call that particular pastry a Berliner, since that would turn every day of their lives into an Abbott and Costello routine.
So why have smug people been making this claim for the past 20 years? The earliest reference anyone's been able to come up with is the 1983 spy novel Berlin Game. A fictional character claims that Kennedy said he was a doughnut. In reviewing the novel, The New York Times treated it as a reference to an amusing fact, rather than a reference to a completely made-up fact, and to this day, you can't say "Ich bin ein Berliner" in a room full of educated people without having them shout something about a jelly doughnut at you.
Get better friends, dude.
#4. The Euphoria of the Space Race and Moon Landing
In 1961, Kennedy challenged America to put a man on the moon before the clock struck the '70s. Sure, it was mostly about national ego-stoking, but that was important. The two most armed nations in the history of the world were in a Mexican standoff, and the Space Race gave them a less deadly way to measure dicks without pulling the trigger.
In the sort of uncynical display of national unity you just don't see anymore, Americans responded to their president's call to action with a decade-long, nationwide pep rally for their finest nerds as they fired the best shit they could build into the sky. The Space Race was so serious that when Russia realized they couldn't keep up, they just started firing cosmonauts in the direction of the moon and watched them burn up like they were kindling.
Russia had run out of adorable dogs by the late '50s.
And when America finally pulled it off? The moon landing? The freaking moon landing!? How awesome would it have been to be on the planet for that!? It must have been like every hometown team in America had won the Super Bowl and World Series on the same freaking night.
Why It's Bullshit:
Remember when George W. Bush vowed to return to the moon by 2020 and send a man to Mars? The nation responded by glancing around and pointing out, "We sort of got problems right here, dude." The Bush administration soon abandoned the idea in the face of tepid public support. Well, if you want to know what life was like during the Space Race, we've just jogged your memory.
"Screw adventure, we've got expensive wars to do."
Despite the rosy picture the media has painted in hindsight, the race to the moon was surprisingly and consistently unpopular with the American media and public throughout the '60s. Three years before the moon landing, Newsweek announced that "The U.S. space program is in decline" and seemed like "an embarrassing self-indulgence" next to Vietnam and national poverty. According to Gallup, most Americans polled during the 1960s thought the Space Race wasn't worth the money being invested. And they didn't just want a little belt-tightening, either.
Unless that belt was around the throat and everything was about 60 percent more erotic.
In case you don't read graphs so well, that's a majority of Americans opposing the U.S. government spending any money at all on a trip to the moon in 1961, 1965 and 1967 -- two freaking years before the moon landing. The only difference between the national sentiment during the Space Race and America's feelings about Bush's Mars quest is that back then, the government ignored insignificant things like "how people felt."
"Which is why you're all going home and having peace gateau for dinner."
All the doubters must have felt pretty stupid after Neil Armstrong did a slow motion touch down dance on the surface of the moon, right? Actually, "Even after Neil Armstrong's 'giant leap for mankind,' only a lukewarm 53 percent of the public believed that the historic event had been worth the cost," which, according to Rotten Tomatoes, puts the moon landing closer to Deep Impact and Mars Attacks! than The Right Stuff and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
#3. The Arms Race Was an Actual Race
For America, it all started with the missile gap, when intelligence estimates revealed that Russia was kicking our ass. From then through the Reagan administration, it was on like nuclear Donkey Kong. The U.S. and Russian governments kept tabs on one another, and with each weapon the other side built, they built another to even the scoreboard.
The arms race was illogical, with both sides eventually building enough weapons to level one another, then building 100 times more than that. But it was understandable. Neither side was going to admit that they didn't have the most weapons. Hell, some have even argued that it was an unavoidable byproduct of the way international relations work.
Why It's Bullshit:
Pretending the arms race was anything less than a decades-long confidence scheme is like blaming the laws of economics for Bernie Madoff. One thing your history teachers have right is that it did all start with that "missile gap." When the Soviet Union reportedly developed a significant military superiority, the United States responded with a massive splurge on nuclear weapons and bombers to "close the gap." So how much of a gap was there, actually?
Note that every number on that left side is enough bombs to kill fucking everything.
You'll notice that America was the first to push their crazy, out-of-control war machine into maximum overdrive. According to the CIA, from 1955 to 1961, U.S. Air Force Intelligence exaggerated Soviet missile and aircraft strength to the point that they were adding more than one zero to their numbers. This led to the production of thousands of heavy bombers, nuclear missiles, a nuclear-powered bomber and even a goddamn flying saucer (the Avro Canada VZ-9 Avrocar) to try to keep up with an imaginary threat.
This came from either Wikipedia or a Choose Your Own Adventure book.
Russia got spooked by the fact that the U.S. was building flying goddamn saucers and appeared to be tooling up for nuclear Armageddon and responded by overcompensating. But the arms race only happened in the first place because of a very simple three-step process. The military-industrial complex would 1) make up some crazy expensive weapons 2) claim that Russia had those weapons 3) get permission from the U.S. government to build them.
This all happened on Eisenhower's watch, and by the time he left office he realized what the U.S. Air Force and the CIA were up to and told Congress that the missile gap showed "every sign" of being what The New York Times described as "a fiction." And in one of the ballsiest speeches ever given, he retired with a grim warning to the nation about the "military-industrial complex" taking over U.S. interests.
Shut up, you pot-smoking hippie.
So how were we so woefully, utterly ill-informed? Check out this extract from a 1962 conversation between President Kennedy, Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara and General Maxwell Taylor, commander of the Joint Chiefs of Staff:
McNamara: I think that there was created a myth in this country that did great harm to the nation. And it was created by, I would say, emotionally guided but nonetheless patriotic individuals in the Pentagon. There are still people of that kind at the Pentagon. I wouldn't give them any foundation for creating another myth.
Kennedy: You mean like the missile gap?
McNamara: The missile -- that's right.
"There was only one, pulled out for children's birthdays and Christmas."
Kennedy: That missile gap -- as one of those who put that myth around, a patriotic and misguided man -- [laughter] -- that came right out of ... You were one of them and, it's because we assumed ...
Taylor: Well, it was an honest mistake ...
"Bread lines? We thought these were war lines."
Yeah. That's Kennedy being told that the arms race was founded on a myth as ridiculous as Paul Bunyan, and being able to do nothing about it, because the guys in the room are the ones who made up the lie in the first place. But, before you go casting Kennedy as the peace loving hero in the Cold War, you should probably know ...

Can I "love" tracks (on last.fm) that I'm listening to from Banshee? I know Rhythmbox can, but I see no such button in Banshee.
It seems that currently you can only love tracks you listen to on the Last.fm radios. See here for the upstream bug report about also loving tracks from your media library.
The buttons are on the play control of Banshee, near the track title. I'm using Banshee 1.9.0 so your mileage may vary if you're using an older version.

WASHINGTON, DC— Effective this week, the pediatric practice run by Angela Hubbard, MD, and Danita Tucker-Powell, MD, has become part of Children's Pediatricians and Associates (CP&A). This change maintains the same personal, high-quality medical care already given to area families and will not affect day-to-day family interactions with the practice. By working with CP&A, Drs. Hubbard and Tucker-Powell's practice will move to an electronic medical record system and will become a part of the integrated system of care at Children's National.
"The chance to join forces with Children's Pediatricians and Associates at Children's National is a way for us to ensure that our patients receive the best medical care possible while maintaining our commitment to our families in the area," commented Angela Hubbard, MD. "We consider this to be a mutually beneficial and positive relationship with Children's National Medical Center."
CP&A is a group of pediatric practices owned and managed by Children's National Medical Center. CP&A has more than 40 pediatric primary care providers, accounting for more than 135,000 annual patient visits in Montgomery, Prince George's, and Charles counties in Maryland, as well as in Washington, DC.
"This addition to CP&A is emblematic of Children's commitment to patients and families in Prince George's County," said Nasima Hossain, MHA, FACHE, Executive Director of the Diana L. and Stephen A. Goldberg Center for Community Pediatric Health and of CP&A. "Drs. Hubbard and Tucker-Powell will be integrated into CP&A, which helps our pediatric practices strengthen the physician-patient relationship through continuity of care, patient education and advocacy, and practice management."

Spectacular Elder Scrolls Online CG trailer heralds 'The Arrival'Written by: / / 2 Comments
In concert with the reveal of an impressive-looking collector's edition for The Elder Scrolls Online (get an eyeful of that over here), Bethesda has sent out a truly spectacular CG trailer for the massively multiplayer online RPG filled with as much action-packed fantasy fighting as you're likely to see anywhere else.
It's been a while since I've seen a really well made CG video for a game, and this one follows on from the last amazing cinematic so if you were wondering what happens next with our heroes in the land of Tamriel, then look no further than the trailer below – it's eight minutes long, so set some time aside to drop your jaw and settle in:
The Elder Scrolls Online – The Arrival
The Elder Scrolls Online is due out on April 4th on PC and Mac, with a release to follow on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in June.
Catch up with the game with El33tonline's previous and continued coverage, as well as our hands-on preview from gamescom 2013.
