News about the health and beauty of the natural world that sustains us.
By Aubrey Vaughn
travel, eco-friendly travel, national parks, question to readers
The recent PBS series National Parks: America's Best Idea has drawn some great attention to our nation's protected wilderness areas and, hopefully, has reinvigorated our appreciation of the parks in the process. Along those lines, as pointed in Don't Be a National Park Bagger (from Utne Reader, MOTHER EARTH NEWS's sister magazine), it also elicits some important questions about the environmental impact of travel and about how we travel, specifically, the impact of taking fewer but more engaged trips versus that of taking many more cursory trips.
From carbon footprints to added wear and tear on everything from trails to monuments, travel of any kind leaves its mark on the environment, a point that's been discussed in MOTHER EARTH NEWS and, even more so, in travel-oriented blogs such as Vagablogging and World Hum. The difficulty of balancing the environmental effects of your travels with a desire to see and appreciate firsthand the natural and manmade marvels of the world isn't an easy task, and is an issue that's inspired numerous blog posts, articles and passionate discussions on travel forums and other online communities. What do you think? Would you travel less, or otherwise change the way you travel, out of concern for the environment?

Steve Jobs Biography Release Date Is Moved Up to Oct. 24
CBS Corp.'s Simon & Schuster book-publishing unit moved up the release date of the biography of Apple Inc. co-founder Steve Jobs, who died yesterday.
The authorized biography by Walter Isaacson, titled "Steve Jobs," will be released on Oct. 24, according to Adam Rothberg, a spokesman for Simon & Schuster. The publisher first intended to publish the book in February, later moved it up to late November and then decided on October after the iconic entrepreneur passed away yesterday.
The book is already the best-selling title on Amazon.com Inc. and number three on the Barnes & Noble Inc.'s website. It can be pre-ordered for $17.88 at both online retailers.
Isaacson, a former managing editor for Time magazine and currently the chief executive officer of the Aspen Institute, has written best-selling biographies of Benjamin Franklin and Albert Einstein.

Thanks for helping!
The best Cajon food in town! Food was super good and it was pretty cheap too. The staff is super nice and helpful.
This place never lets me down! There food is always delicious, and you couldn't ask for a friendlier crew! I have been many times, and am so happy that I have a great place like this accessable to me. I love this joint!!!!!
Bn'T provides the best cajun food in town in a great atmosphere. I'm from Lexington and never get tired of the deliciousness Bn'T cranks out everyday. It's consistent and large portion sizes for the price. The jambalaya and chili red are my favorites and always be sure to get extra bread, you won't regret it!! If you haven't been down...
AMAZING FOOD!! Everything is super tasty. The people are great and always friendly. It's downtown so parking can be tight but walking a couple blocks is totally worth it!
Spice. Pizazz. Incredible cuisine. One may use those words to describe NOLA, but luckily for Lexington locals such an experience is a reality when choosing to dine at Bourbon n' Toulouse. Our business has had Bourbon n' Toulouse catered on a few separate occasions, and each experience has been nothing short of perfection. The staff is incredibly friendly and helpful,...
This place is on the main street through Chevy Chase so parking can be tight, but we usually walk to it. You order at the counter from a big selection of rice and bean or meat or seafood cajun dishes all priced at $8.50 or less for a big plate. Smaller appetites can order a half size. The dishes can...
I've been to this restaurant several times over the last couple months. I always get the half and half. There are lots of options, but my choice is usually a half portion of jambalaya and a half portion of shrimp étouffée.
They literally have 50 bottles of hot sauce on the counter. They're not 50 different ones, but there are...
Jambalaya & Red Beans and Sausage were delicious as always. Can't find a better lunch in half an hour for $9. Great service and large portions.
It kinda looks like a little dive eatery when you first walk in. The guy at the counter was super nice and helped us out with some good vegetarian options. They actually use spice, and we enjoy a little hotness to our food. Big portions. Great flavor. We would eat there again.
I can't believe that I have lived in Lexington for almost two years and have never been to Bourbon n' Toulouse before. I've heard the name plenty of times. People say it's really great Cajun food, that they go there all the time, etc. It's one thing to hear about the food and it's quite another to taste it.

Damage type
There are four major damage types in Star Trek Online:
- Energy Damage is the common name of the 6 types of damage dealt by direct fire ranged energy weapons both in space and on the ground.
- Kinetic Damage is dealt by deployed, thrown or self-propellant explosive devices, and also by certain abilities, both in space and on the ground.
- Physical Damage is dealt exclusively in ground combat by armed and unarmed melee attacks.
- Exotic Damage is the collective name of any damage other than the above three kinds, and is dealt either as secondary effect of explosives, or as main damage of abilities.
- 1 Energy Damage
- 2 Kinetic Damage
- 2.1 Space Combat
- 2.2 Ground Explosives
- 2.3 Protection Against Kinetic & Energy Damage
- 3 Exotic Damage
- 4 Note
- 5 List of All Ship & Ground Weapon Types
Energy Damage[edit | edit source]
Types[edit | edit source]
There are six different Energy Damage types, each having a bonus effect, known as a Proc. Most weapons come with one of these bonuses, while some rarer weapons may contain multiple.
Direct energy Ship Weapons, such as Beams and Cannons, use Energy Damage. Deployable Ship Devices such as Satellite Turrets also deal Energy Damage based on the type of weapon it carries.
Most Ground Weapons deal Energy Damage, and include Pistols, Rifles, and Assault Weapons. Some deployable Turrets through the use of Kits can also deal Energy Damage, depending on the turret used.
There are tactical advantages to using a single energy damage type primarily due to consoles giving a greater bonus by energy type (e.g. phasers) than by weapon type (e.g. beam arrays). However, some players prefer to use a wide variety of damage types in the hopes of scoring multiple proc hits.
Phaser[edit | edit source]
Phaser damage is displayed as orange in color, or sometimes pale yellow. The Andorian and TOS retro versions are a blue color. The term "phaser" is an acronym for Phased Energy Rectification. A type of particle weapon, phasers damage targets with streams of nadions. Against living targets, this can be to either lethal or non-lethal effect, depending on the power of the stream. Player-acquired starships for the Federation by default come with Phaser energy weapons.
Energy bonus: 2.5% Chance: Disable 1 Subsystem for 5 seconds (Space) / 5% Chance: +2 Hold (Ground)
Shields and armor with the [Pha] suffix modifier take 20% less Phaser damage than usual.
|True Way
|Armor to use
|Ablative Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Diburnium Hull Plating
Disruptor[edit | edit source]
Disruptors are a type of directed energy used in weapons, and are green or dark green in color. Disruptors cause damage to the target by breaking the bonds of atoms. Player-acquired starships for the Klingon Defense Force by default come with Disruptor energy weapons.
Energy bonus: 2.5% (Space) / 5% (Ground): -10% Damage Resistance Debuff
Shields and armor with the [Dis] suffix modifier take 20% less Disruptor damage than usual.
|Armor to use
|Ablative Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Diburnium Hull Plating
Plasma[edit | edit source]
Plasma energy beams are green/cyan in color. Player-acquired starships for the Romulan Republic by default come with Plasma energy weapons.
Energy bonus: 2.5% (Space) / 5% (Ground) Chance: Applies a non-stacking DoT
Shields and armor with the [Pla] suffix modifier take 20% less Plasma damage than usual.
|Fek'Ihri [1]
|Gorn [1]
|Romulan Republic
|Vulcan [2]
|Armor to use
| Ablative Hull Armor
Tetraburnium Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Electroceramic Hull Plating
Tetryon[edit | edit source]
Tetryon energy beams are blue in color. Tetryons are subatomic particles that exist outside of normal space. When brought into normal space from subspace (artificially or naturally) they become highly unstable.
Energy bonus: 2.5% (Space) / 5% (Ground) Chance damage to Shields
Shields and armor with the [Tet] suffix modifier take 20% less Tetryon damage than usual.
|Armor to use
| Ablative Hull Armor
Tetraburnium Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Electroceramic Hull Plating
Polaron[edit | edit source]
Polaron are pink/purple in color. These weapons were heavily utilized by the Jem'Hadar and Breen during the Dominion War. Some Jem'Hadar Polaron ground weaponry can have bonus effects based on the Nanoenergy cell used.
Energy bonus: 2.5% Chance: -25 power to all Subsystems (Space) / 5% Chance: Weapons Malfunction for 5 sec (Ground)
Shields and armor with the [Pol] suffix modifier take 20% less Polaron damage than usual.
|True Way
|Armor to use
|Tetraburnium Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Parametallic Hull Plating
Antiproton[edit | edit source]
Antiprotons, when confined into a beam, are normally crimson with a black void border. Up close, the energy looks a lot more unstable, similar to Plasma and Tetryon energy. Undine antiproton weapons are pale yellow in color.
Energy bonus: +20% Critical Severity (Space and Ground)
Shields with the [Ap] suffix modifier take 20% less Antiproton damage than usual.
|Borg [1]
|Crystalline Entity
|Armor to use
|Tetraburnium Hull Armor
|Plating to use
|Parametallic Hull Plating
Proton[edit | edit source]
Protons, are whitish-blue in color.This rare and experimental weapon type fires a concentrated stream of proton particles at its target dealing moderate damage over time. This weapon is equally effective against starship shields and hull. Should a Proton Weapon land a critical hit, it has a high chance of dealing additional proton damage that completely bypasses the target's shields.
Energy bonus:50% chance: on critical: Additional Proton Damage (Ignores Shields)
Armor Types by Faction & Energy Used[edit | edit source]
The various Factions deal damage types specific to them both in space and ground combat. Since defensive equipment may provide resistance against only a subset of all damage types, knowing in advance what damage to expect from a given foe and using the right equipment to counter it can increase the chances of survival.
Space Combat Table[edit | edit source]
Ground Combat Table[edit | edit source]
Protection Against Energy Damage[edit | edit source]
Space Combat[edit | edit source]
In space, Ship Shields, Engineering Consoles and the Starship Hull Plating Commander rank skill provide resistance against Energy Damage.
Ship Shields may come with one or more damage resistance modifiers, each giving 20% resistance against the damage type indicated by the suffix(es) in the item name: [Pha], [Dis], [Pla], [Pol], [Tet], [Ap].
3 types of Armor Consoles provide resistance against all, or a specific subset of Energy Damage:
- Alloys provide low resistance against all 6 types (plus Kinetic Damage resistance)
- Armors provide moderate resistance against 4 damage types (but no Kinetic)
- Platings provide good resistance against 2 damage types (but no Kinetic)
The "Armor / Plating to use" columns in the Types by Faction / Space Combat table show the console type which provides resistance against the given damage type, and thus is best used when facing the indicated foes.
Ground Combat[edit | edit source]
On the ground, Personal Shields, Body Armors and the Threat Control Commander rank skill provide resistance against Energy Damage.
Personal Shields may come with one or more damage resistance modifiers, each giving 20% resistance against the damage type indicated by the suffix(es) in the item name: [Pha], [Dis], [Pla], [Pol], [Tet], [Ap].
All Body Armor types provide varying levels of resistance against all 6 energy damage types (plus Kinetic Damage resistance) indicated as "All Energy Damage resistance" in the description.
Kinetic Damage[edit | edit source]
Kinetic damage is dealt by explosive devices of various kinds. In addition to the Kinetic Damage, these weapons often have secondary effects, in some cases dealing additional Energy Damage or Exotic Damage to the target in a single hit or as a DoT or AoE.
In space, Kinetic Damage is dealt by torpedoes launched from Torpedo Launchers and deployable Torpedo Platforms, Mines deployed from Mine Launchers, and by using certain abilities.
On the ground, Kinetic Damage is dealt by Mines, Bombs and Mortar type turrets deployable by the use of Kits, and Grenades thrown by using Kits or abilities. The TR-116A and TR-116B rifles also deal kinetic damage.
Kinetic Damage is more effective against armor than shields, and there is a dedicated resistance against Kinetic Damage.
Note: Melee attacks such as martial arts or with the Bat'leth do NOT count as Kinetic damage. Instead, this is physical damage.
Space Combat[edit | edit source]
Torpedo[edit | edit source]
Torpedoes are self-propelled, target tracking explosive devices (basically, homing missiles) delivering Kinetic Damage to the target, and depending on type applying other harmful effects.
There are several types of Torpedoes, which may vary in damage potential, flight speed, launch time, applicable modifiers and additional effects over the base Kinetic Damage, but regardless of type, all of them deal Kinetic Damage.
Torpedo Types by Faction[edit | edit source]
Mine[edit | edit source]
Mines are stationary, proximity activated target tracking explosive devices delivering Kinetic Damage to the target, and depending on type applying other harmful effects. The main difference between Mines and Torpedoes is that while Torpedoes actively pursue the designated target from the moment of launch, Mines sit still until a hostile ship comes within 4km proximity, then they pursue the target and detonate on impact.
Mines come in the same types as Torpedoes, with the same effects in addition to the Kinetic Damage they all deal.
Ground Explosives[edit | edit source]
- No details given! Please supply a description of the needed update: {{nu|details=describe what needs to change}}. If possible, include links to any relevant release notes or dev blog.
Grenades[edit | edit source]
There are four main types of Grenade; Photon, Plasma, Smoke and Stun. There are also other types of grenade which are specially obtained.
Photon Grenade[edit | edit source]
Causes AoE kinetic damage upon contact, causing damage and knockback to the enemies within the blast radius at the point of contact. It has a large blast radius, however enemies can enter and exit the blast radius before the AoE kinetic damage occurs. (Important to note that shields drastically reduce the damage of this grenade.)
Plasma Grenade[edit | edit source]
Causes small kinetic damage in the AoE, but makes up for this with plasma DoT to enemies in the blast radius and enemies that come into contact with the plasma fire created within the explosion area. (Important to note that shields drastically reduce the damage of this grenade.)
Smoke Grenade[edit | edit source]
This is a PBAoE grenade which means it creates a smoke cloud from the position the character is at. It causes the enemies within the AoE to have reduces perceptions making them unable to target the character easily. It also improves the character and allies' stealth when within the AoE.
Stun Grenade[edit | edit source]
Low kinetic damage in the AoE, however it explodes on contact and causes all enemies within the AoE which holds them in place for a period of time. This hold is non fragile so won't break upon being damaged by character and allies. (Important to note that shields drastically reduce the damage of this grenade.)
Special Grenades[edit | edit source]
Frictionless Grenades, Crystal Shards.
Mine[edit | edit source]
Bomb[edit | edit source]
Mortar[edit | edit source]
Protection Against Kinetic & Energy Damage[edit | edit source]
Space Combat[edit | edit source]
Table - Armor Needed by Damage Type & Faction Weapon Type[edit | edit source]
Kinetic Energy[edit | edit source]
In space, Engineering Consoles and the Hull Plating skill provide resistance against Kinetic Damage.
2 types of Armor Consoles provide resistance against Kinetic Damage:
- Monotanium Alloy provides good resistance against Kinetic Damage but no resistance against any Energy Damage
- Neutronium Alloy provides medium resistance against Kinetic Damage and medium resistance against all Energy Damage. This is very useful when you don't know what energy damage types you will be facing.
- The other Alloy types provide low resistance against Kinetic Damage, but also provide low resistance against all 6 Energy Damage types
Ground Combat[edit | edit source]
All Body Armor types provide varying levels of resistance against Kinetic Damage.
Exotic Damage[edit | edit source]
A specialty "catch all" term used to describe damage caused by certain non-weapon (i.e not caused by Torpedo,Beams or mines) consoles/abilities or damage-causing Science bridge officer abilities. Typically these are abilities boosted by Exotic Particle Generator skill. A common feature of Exotic damage is (though not always) 50% - 100% shield penetrating Kinetic Damage. However, this form of non-weapon damage can be seen in Electrical as well as Physical and Proton damage in space.
These damage types may be inflicted by explosives or abilities during ground combat, or certain player of Bridge Officer abilities during space combat.
Acid[edit | edit source]
Acid Damage can be sustained during ground combat. The Fek'Ihri and Hortas have been known to deal this type of damage.
Cold[edit | edit source]
Cold Damage can be sustained during ground combat. The Breen have been known to deal this type of damage. This is also the type of damage dealt by player-used CRM 200 rifles and Cryo Grenades. Most Cold damage attacks can inflict Slow and DoT debuffs, as well as Holds. This makes them incredibly useful for halting approaching enemies. Most Cold damage attacks are either light blue or white, with a fog effect.
Electrical[edit | edit source]
Electrical Damage can be sustained during ground combat.
Electrical Damage is also dealt by the Space ability(s): Isometric Charge, Energy Discharge Array, and Sabotage Probe Drain Infection
Fire[edit | edit source]
Fire Damage can be sustained during ground combat.
Physical Damage[edit | edit source]
This kind of damage usually occurs only in ground combat, and is dealt by unarmed martial arts attacks, melee weapons, or using a ranged weapon's "bash" melee attack to shove away enemies in close proximity.
Except the Energy Dampening type, all other Body Armor types provide varying levels of resistance against Physical Damage.
The Crystalline Entity spawns fragments which do Physical Damage, making it an exception to the "only in ground combat" norm for this type of damage for NPC's.
Player-usable Physical Damage space weapon(s) are: the Nukara Web Mine Launcher, , Destabilizing Resonance Beam, Energy Web , and Structural Integrity Collapse
Note: Damage dealt by any kind of explosion is Kinetic Damage and thus reduced by Kinetic Reistance, and NOT by Physical Resistance.
Proton[edit | edit source]
Proton Damage can be sustained during ground or space combat. This was first seen on the Devidian Front. This damage is also seen rarely in Ground PvP, being dealt by the Secondary Fire mode of the [Synchronic Proton Distortion Prototype Assault Rifle]. This damage type does not seem to have any special properties, but players standing within the range of a [Triolic Pattern Enhancer] or using an [Ophidian Cane] (or both) will take increased Proton Damage.In Space Combat , with the introduction of the Dyson Joint Command Reputation Store, proton damage is now also sustained as a proc when slotting Shield Refrequencer, this damage can also be sustained in PvP. This damage is significantly enhanced if the target is using the [Subspace Field Modulator], as its buff causes -400 Proton damage resistance. This console is the only source of Exotic proton damage.
The standard weapons and consoles of this type: Protonic Shielding, Shield Inversion, Destabilized Proton Beam, and Proton Barrage.
Psionic[edit | edit source]
Psionic Damage can be sustained during ground combat. Undine, Devidian, and Remans have been known to deal this type of damage. Psionic damage attacks are known to ignore personal shielding and deal direct damage to a player's health. The [Phase-Shifted Personal Shield], a reward from the mission "Skirmish", provides protection from psionic damage, scaling by level.
The [Psionic Resonance Enhancement Cell] adds psionic damage to ranged weapons.
Radiation[edit | edit source]
Radiation Damage can be sustained during ground and space combat.This damage type occurs from captain powers: Aceton Beam, Kemocite-Laced Weaponry, Endothermic Inhibitor Beam and from Secondary Deflectors as well as from the console Aceton Assimilator. It also can be produced ,as a secondary proc, from Bio-molecular weapons in the 8472 Counter Command Reputation and Withering weapons from the Terran Task Force Reputation.
Note[edit | edit source]
There are two types of radiation: Exotic and standard. Exotic based radiation is boosted by Exotic Particle Generator while standard radiation types are boosted by Console - Tactical - Counter-Command Multi-Conduit Energy Relay
Toxic[edit | edit source]
Toxic Damage can be sustained during ground combat.

Recent reviews
Good 3.6 /5 from 126 reviews
the staff had energy, fun and kept the vibe positive throughout the entire experience. You can't beat the location either!
The biggest problem was parking. There is nearly none. The front desk person said I could pay $14 to park across the street with no in and out privileges or down the street at another hotel for $38 with full in and out privileges. I investigated and found that I could pay for short term parking across the street or $14 for 24 hours. When I pointed that out to him the next day he said , "That is up to our guests to discover." He said his boss wouldn't allow him to tell guests about the short term parking. It was noisy at night but really it's all about location and the location was great.
We stayed here prior to a cruise the next day. When we arrived at about 2p, our room was ready and waiting for us. Very comfortable room, with a surf board headboard, and movie posters on the wall. The Hotel California was located very clo0se to the Santa Monica Pier, which we enjoyed visiting. There was also a park across the street, which was very lovely and we visited on the day of our departure.
Great location and a great rate. Will stay there again.
I was not optimistic when I booked this hotel. I did, indeed, read all of the reviews left by other guests. But, I was curious as to why so many of the reviews differed. I found out! It's a well kept, quaint hotel with a lot of character and color. The lobby was well staffed by two, courteous gentlemen and there was fresh coffee and tea available. The grounds are beautiful and it is near "everything" including the beach. But...It's a nightmare! I was booked into room 25 on the ground floor and I think a 400 lb sumo wrestler was practicing his art all night in the room directly above me. At least that's what it sounded like. Around 2 a.m., I heard a tapping at my window. It was a drunk! He was looking for his room and wanted MY assistance. The walkways and patios are very busy in the mornings so sleeping in is not on the agenda. I'm disappointed because I liked the room and the staff. I just don't think it's a restful, decent, hotel. Oh, yeah, forget parking your rental car anywhere near the hotel, the local taxi drivers have 'dibs' on the meager parking lot.
Is the description of this hotel not correct? Tell us

Computer Realization of Human Music Cognition
Date: August 1988
Creator: Albright, Larry E. (Larry Eugene)
Description: This study models the human process of music cognition on the digital computer. The definition of music cognition is derived from the work in music cognition done by the researchers Carol Krumhansl and Edward Kessler, and by Mari Jones, as well as from the music theories of Heinrich Schenker. The computer implementation functions in three stages. First, it translates a musical "performance" in the form of MIDI (Musical Instrument Digital Interface) messages into LISP structures. Second, the various parameters of the performance are examined separately a la Jones's joint accent structure, quantified according to psychological findings, and adjusted to a common scale. The findings of Krumhansl and Kessler are used to evaluate the consonance of each note with respect to the key of the piece and with respect to the immediately sounding harmony. This process yields a multidimensional set of points, each of which is a cognitive evaluation of a single musical event within the context of the piece of music within which it occurred. This set of points forms a metric space in multi-dimensional Euclidean space. The third phase of the analysis maps the set of points into a topology-preserving data structure for a Schenkerian-like middleground structural analysis. This ...

Independent Quadtrees
Date: December 1986
Creator: Atwood, Larry D. (Larry Dale)
Description: This dissertation deals with the problem of manipulating and storing an image using quadtrees. A quadtree is a tree in which each node has four ordered children or is a leaf. It can be used to represent an image via hierarchical decomposition. The image is broken into four regions. A region can be a solid color (homogeneous) or a mixture of colors (heterogeneous). If a region is heterogeneous it is broken into four subregions, and the process continues recursively until all subregions are homogeneous. The traditional quadtree suffers from dependence on the underlying grid. The grid coordinate system is implicit, and therefore fixed. The fixed coordinate system implies a rigid tree. A rigid tree cannot be translated, scaled, or rotated. Instead, a new tree must be built which is the result of one of these transformations. This dissertation introduces the independent quadtree. The independent quadtree is free of any underlying coordinate system. The tree is no longer rigid and can be easily translated, scaled, or rotated. Algorithms to perform these operations axe presented. The translation and rotation algorithms take constant time. The scaling algorithm has linear time in the number nodes in the tree. The disadvantage of independent quadtrees is ...

Inheritance Problems in Object-Oriented Database
Date: May 1989
Creator: Auepanwiriyakul, Raweewan
Description: This research is concerned with inheritance as used in object-oriented database. More specifically, partial bi-directional inheritance among classes is examined. In partial inheritance, a class can inherit a proper subset of instance variables from another class. Two subclasses of the same superclass do not need to inherit the same proper subset of instance variables from their superclass. Bi-directional partial inheritance allows a class to inherit instance variables from its subclass. The prototype of an object-oriented database that supports both full and partial bi-directional inheritance among classes was developed on top of an existing relational database management system. The prototype was tested with two database applications. One database application needs full and partial inheritance. The second database application required bi-directional inheritance. The result of this testing suggests both advantages and disadvantages of partial bi-directional inheritance. Future areas of research are also suggested.

Hopfield Networks as an Error Correcting Technique for Speech Recognition
Date: May 2004
Creator: Bireddy, Chakradhar
Description: I experimented with Hopfield networks in the context of a voice-based, query-answering system. Hopfield networks are used to store and retrieve patterns. I used this technique to store queries represented as natural language sentences and I evaluated the accuracy of the technique for error correction in a spoken question-answering dialog between a computer and a user. I show that the use of an auto-associative Hopfield network helps make the speech recognition system more fault tolerant. I also looked at the available encoding schemes to convert a natural language sentence into a pattern of zeroes and ones that can be stored in the Hopfield network reliably, and I suggest scalable data representations which allow storing a large number of queries.

SEM Predicting Success of Student Global Software Development Teams
Date: May 2015
Creator: Brooks, Ian Robert
Description: The extensive use of global teams to develop software has prompted researchers to investigate various factors that can enhance a team's performance. While a significant body of research exists on global software teams, previous research has not fully explored the interrelationships and collective impact of various factors on team performance. This study explored a model that added the characteristics of a team's culture, ability, communication frequencies, response rates, and linguistic categories to a central framework of team performance. Data was collected from two student software development projects that occurred between teams located in the United States, Panama, and Turkey. The data was obtained through online surveys and recorded postings of team activities that occurred throughout the global software development projects. Partial least squares path modeling (PLS-PM) was chosen as the analytic technique to test the model and identify the most influential factors. Individual factors associated with response rates and linguistic characteristics proved to significantly affect a team's activity related to grade on the project, group cohesion, and the number of messages received and sent. Moreover, an examination of possible latent homogeneous segments in the model supported the existence of differences among groups based on leadership style. Teams with assigned leaders ...

Automated Testing of Interactive Systems
Date: May 1977
Creator: Cartwright, Stephen C.
Description: Computer systems which interact with human users to collect, update or provide information are growing more complex. Additionally, users are demanding more thorough testing of all computer systems. Because of the complexity and thoroughness required, automation of interactive systems testing is desirable, especially for functional testing. Many currently available testing tools, like program proving, are impractical for testing large systems. The solution presented here is the development of an automated test system which simulates human users. This system incorporates a high-level programming language, ATLIS. ATLIS programs are compiled and interpretively executed. Programs are selected for execution by operator command, and failures are reported to the operator's console. An audit trail of all activity is provided. This solution provides improved efficiency and effectiveness over conventional testing methods.

An Adaptive Linearization Method for a Constraint Satisfaction Problem in Semiconductor Device Design Optimization
Date: May 1999
Creator: Chang, Chih-Hui, 1967-
Description: The device optimization is a very important element in semiconductor technology advancement. Its objective is to find a design point for a semiconductor device so that the optimized design goal meets all specified constraints. As in other engineering fields, a nonlinear optimizer is often used for design optimization. One major drawback of using a nonlinear optimizer is that it can only partially explore the design space and return a local optimal solution. This dissertation provides an adaptive optimization design methodology to allow the designer to explore the design space and obtain a globally optimal solution. One key element of our method is to quickly compute the set of all feasible solutions, also called the acceptability region. We described a polytope-based representation for the acceptability region and an adaptive linearization technique for device performance model approximation. These efficiency enhancements have enabled significant speed-up in estimating acceptability regions and allow acceptability regions to be estimated for a larger class of device design tasks. Our linearization technique also provides an efficient mechanism to guarantee the global accuracy of the computed acceptability region. To visualize the acceptability region, we study the orthogonal projection of high-dimensional convex polytopes and propose an output sensitive algorithm for ...

Generating Machine Code for High-Level Programming Languages
Date: December 1976
Creator: Chao, Chia-Huei
Description: The purpose of this research was to investigate the generation of machine code from high-level programming language. The following steps were undertaken: 1) Choose a high-level programming language as the source language and a computer as the target computer. 2) Examine all stages during the compiling of a high-level programming language and all data sets involved in the compilation. 3) Discover the mechanism for generating machine code and the mechanism to generate more efficient machine code from the language. 3) Construct an algorithm for generating machine code for the target computer. The results suggest that compiler is best implemented in a high-level programming language, and that SCANNER and PARSER should be independent of target representations, if possible.

I'm trying to setup a dynamic template with a slideshow that is half the height of the default slideshow on the homepage.
Is there a way to make this possible?
Hi ajarkovsky,
There aren't any really good ways to do that without a lot of heavy handed css. The easiest solution would be to just use a third party slideshow plugin via shortcodes in the body of your page content. That way you get a bit more control over it from the front end without any need to modify the theme slideshow.

In the USA, several nutrition-related issues confront the normal growth, maturation and development of children and adolescents including obesity and food insecurity. The purpose of this paper is to provide a review of the concept of food insecurity and a summary of studies that have examined the association between food insecurity and overweight/obesity in children and adolescents. Besides the initial case report, we review 21 studies (16 cross-sectional and five prospective studies) that have been published on this topic as of December 2009. As there is limited literature in this area, we review studies that sample children and adolescents in the USA. The results are mixed with positive, negative and null associations. The reasons for the mixed results are difficult to disentangle. Among earlier studies, small samples hampered definitive conclusions. More recent studies with larger samples have overcome these limitations and tend to find no associations between these constructs. Nonetheless, all of the studies to date have shown that food insecurity and overweight co-exist – that is, even though there may not be statistically significant differences in overweight between food-insecure and food-secure children, the prevalence of overweight remains relatively high in food-insecure children.

Denver Broncos wide receiver Wes Welker will not play in Thursday's divisional game against the San Diego Chargers because of a concussion sustained last week, according to an NFL.com report. The slot receiver is second on the team in receptions (71), third in yards (788), and has ten touchdowns on the year. His absence in tomorrow night's game should lead to increased work from backup tight end Jacob Tamme.

I am actively looking for a designer & front-end web developer to collaborate with, prototype apps for fun, and win a prize or two at hackathons. You know, the usual trifecta: Fun, Fame and Profit.
I'm a full stack web developer in the SF Bay Area. I can do some front-end, but by no means an expert at it.
A designer who can slice and dice HTML & CSS (and maybe even a touch of JavaScript) would be the perfect complementary partner-in-crime for international coding-under-the-influence contests.
Because it's hard to tell just how much we will end up arguing over our respective semicolon, code indentation, and toilet paper orientation philosophies in life, I suggest we work on a small project together for shits and giggles, to see if our synergistic combined output will be more shit or giggle.
If you have an idea for a small starter project, and have the design, HTML, CSS for it, I can build out the back-end (and take care of the associated dev ops / sys admin tasks). I also have a web app built that could use a more polished design: http://friend01k.herokuapp.com (or http://www.yodel.me .. still haven't settled on a name yet)
A run-down of the web app's features:
- Stack: Django, Python, jQuery, Bootstrap, Heroku, Postgres, SendGrid
- AJAX (JSON) error notification for duplicate or reserved username during registration, before form submit
- Approximate radius / ZIP code search based on a ZIP code's latitude & longitude
- Vanity profile URL e.g. domain.com/username
- Integration with django_messages for user -to-user messaging
- Integration with django-taggit for tagging users with as many interest keywords as they want, and for finding users most similar to themselves
- Integration with X-editable / Select2 for inline (front-end) editing e.g. profile description, age, gender, etc.
- Use of Django's messages framework ("flash" messages)
- Use of custom form field validators, e.g. reserved usernames, e.g. "admin", "blog", "contact", etc.
- Use of custom template tags e.g. to highlight proper active tab on top nav bar
- Control group error highlighting during input error (Bootstrap)
- Security: input validation / sanitization, type checking, CSRF, login_required decorator, require_http_methods decorator (either POST or GET)
- Inline-editor (X-editable / Select2): "type partial to autocomplete" e.g. typing "isia" will pick "Louisiana" as the state field
- Wizard to on-board new users to fill out minimum required profile information
- Responsive front-end, re-sizes automatically for desktop, tablet, and smartphones
- Automatic determination of city and state based of ZIP code
- Zip database (~42K records) is stored on Parse.com, accessed via REST API (to continue using Heroku's free tier 🙂 )
- And many more!

The beginning of Drew Machak's life in music revolved around a piano. It gradually led him toward the stage for performances in variety shows, plays, and musicals. He is part of the last generation to grow up with no internet, no cell phone cameras, and with a trusty landline. From 2008 to 2013 Drew played with jam band The Blue Effect on a weekly basis travelling around Michigan. He has played festivals like Arts, Beats, & Eats, sang in the legendary Fillmore in Detroit, and put out two solo albums with a third on the way.
His last two albums "I'm Here" and "LoveStreetDemon" have been very important career compasses for Drew, leading him to his current direction and towards acoustic salvation. This upcoming album will be his most cohesive yet. A folk/pop blend with touches of blues and a kickdrum pulse. With songs that flashback to his late teen years, contemporary ballads about the struggle of finding balance in life, and one song in particular that talks about living out of the public eye while still maintaining a career as a fulltime musician. An impossible feat you would think, but you can actually find Machak softly strumming for the gentle souls of Lansing's most prominent yoga studio, Hilltop. He offers his honesty, music, and voice to any and all who are looking for it, whether they know it or not.
Drew's voice has taken him many places, including the hollywood round in season ten of American Idol, which turned out to be a very fruitful experience. Not only did he get to see what Idol was really like, but he gained valuable knowledge that he often refers to when looking over prospective business endeavors. More recently, Drew's singing has taken him to the top of the Rencen in the heart of Motown for Detroit's 2012 fireworks show. On a local level, he has recently found a weekly spot downtown East Lansing on the bar at Harper's, where local legend Jerry Sprague has been the only person allowed to play the countertops for years. It seems as if the times are changing, and original music is becoming the new standard. This is what Machak is pushing for anyways... and he will continue to do so with over four albums of original material on both the guitar and piano.

As early as last Friday, Google reported slower levels of activity from China. It is speculated that the disruption is due to the 25th anniversary of the crackdown on pro-democracy demonstrations around Tiananmen Square in Beijing.
What is China Censoring Now?
According to Greatfire.org, the blockage is limiting access to:
- Google Search
- Images
- Translate
- Gmail
- Google Hong Kong
- Google.com
- All other country specific versions of Google
There isn't specific evidence that points to either a permanent block or if it's just a temporary measure around the anniversary. A Reuters article provides insight from an advocacy group, which shared "Because the block has lasted for four days, it's more likely that Google will be severely disrupted and barely usable from now on."
When asked, a Google spokesman reiterated that Google has "checked extensively and there's nothing wrong on our end."
This isn't the first time that China has had a hand in controlling what their citizens can access. In 2013 there were issues with users searching "dangerous keywords," which led to them being kicked off the Internet.
In March, Google Encrypted Search became available in China. However, due to China's history of blocking searches to sensitive topics, it was unclear as to how this would affect citizens of China.
In addition to censorship of material on Google, the Chinese government blocks popular websites such as Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube.
Why Are the Tiananmen Square Protests Such a Sensitive Subject?
On June 3 and 4, 1989, protestors held a six-week demonstration to demand democracy and political reform for China. In what was a very violent turn of events, the Chinese People's Liberation Army mobilized and pushed into Tiananmen Square in Beijing. Many protestors were crushed or shot. There was never an exact tally of the number of lives lost but estimates range from several hundred to several thousand.
In an effort to keep details hidden from Chinese citizens, government officials have chosen instead to block access to specific sites or search terms.
It's terrible that the Chinese citizens are denied access to basic information that affects them directly. How would you response if you began losing access to information via the Internet?

I am trying to open all popups from a queue so that they have varying sizes and positions in relation to how many items are in my queue array. When the popups are launched, the idea is that they will completely fill the users screen (using screen.width and screen.height) no matter if 2 popups open or 200. I have figured out the equation for the width of each popup, but havent been able to for height or top and left positions. I believe that the height attribute have something to do with width in relation to screen aspect ratio (screen.width/screen.height) but I may be wrong.
Here is the code, thanks for the help!
var queue = [someUrl, someUrl, someUrl, someUrl];
function popUp(){ //open popups
var W=screen.width/Math.ceil(Math.sqrt(queue.length));
for(i=0; i<queue.length; i++) {
W*i almost works for
left=however, it fails to redistribute the popups once one reaches the right side of the screen. Perhaps a conditional statement could be used for
if (W*i>screen.width).
