FoFdation project progress presented at CIRP Conference
A session on the FoFdation project (Foundation for the Factory of the Future) was included in the 8th CIRP Conference on Intelligent Computation in Manufacturing Engineering held in Ischia, Gulf of Naples, Italy, from 16th to 20th July. The outcomes of the FoFdation project, which is funded by the European Commission within the FP7 framework, aim to share production data seamlessly, increase productivity by utilising machine dynamics, monitor key sustainability indicators, and share information in a 'production-to-enterprise' dashboard. The progress of the project in all of these areas was discussed and the results to date were shared with Conference delegates.
The Conference attracted over 150 delegates and guests from 26 countries and 5 continents, with three delegates from Delcam included among the 18 representatives of the organisations contributing to FoFdation. The main aim of the Conference was to provide an international forum for the exchange of knowledge, information, experience and results as well as reviewing the progress made. It also acted as a forum for discussions on the state-of-the-art and future trends in intelligent computation methods and tools applied to manufacturing processes and systems. FoFdation partners also attended a joint session with another 'Factory of the Future' project, IFaCOM (Intelligent Fault Correction and self-Optimising Manufacturing systems).
Professor Roberto Teti, an expert in technological innovation in manufacturing engineering and intelligent computing for manufacturing technology and systems, opened the conference and welcomed all the delegates. The greetings were followed by plenary session presentations from the rest of the Conference panel, firstly by Professor Marco Satochi, CIRP President, who detailed the background of the CIRP as "A Unique Academy in Production Engineering". Dr. Masahiko Mori, Mori Seiki (Japan), then spoke passionately about "Remote Monitoring System for CNC Machine Tools", and Professor Dr. Gideon Levy, Inspire AG, finished with an animated talk on Additive Manufacturing.
In the joint FoFdation-IFaCOM session, the FoFdation project scientific coordinator, Van Khai Nguyen of CADCAMation (Switzerland), presented a paper entitled "An Enabling Digital Foundation towards Smart Machining" which was very well received and generated interesting discussions, particularly regarding the sustainability element of the project. Conference Chairman Professor Roberto Teti attended the session and was very enthusiastic about the developments and results of the project so far.
Other papers were also presented in this joint session which included a thought-provoking talk on "Zero Defect Manufacturing; a Product and Plant Oriented Lifecycle Approach" by Odd Myklebust from Sintef, Norway, and a fascinating speech on "Image Data Processing via Neural Networks for Tool Wear Prediction" by Doriana D'Addona and Professor Roberto Teti from DIMP, Naples, where they had produced images with standard size and pixel density from elaborating tool image files obtained during cutting tests.
The CIRP Conference, especially the combined FoFdation-IFaCOM session, was a thoroughly enjoyable experience for all participants involved, both speakers and attendees, and an unparalleled opportunity for experts from a wide range of backgrounds to share their findings and to discuss the future of manufacturing.

Formby Hall Golf and Country Club has been stylishly and comprehensively transformed from unused marshland into one of the leading and most picturesque resorts in the country and is now referred to as Formby Hall Golf Resort and Spa.
The club, formerly known as Formby Hall Golf Club PLC, has built a reputation as one of the leading golf courses in Europe- although it was established as recently as 1996; in 1999 the PGA European Tour chose it as the venue for the European Challenge Tour for 1999-2001. The Club is also known for hosting high quality charity and pro-am events featuring some well-known celebrities.
Following an extensive £15 million development, Formby Hall now welcomes guests and employees to an impressive new experience, where our grand colonial style clubhouse and existing 18 hole championship golf course has been joined by a 62 bedroom 4 star hotel, a superb new 9 hole par 3 course, a new driving range and a unique new PGA Residential Academy, together with a state of the art spa and health club.

ORLANDO, Fla. - The developer of a Florida shopping center denied charges that its actions resulted in Gooding's Supermarkets' bankruptcy, saying the retailer's financial troubles are of its own doing. Chuck Whittall, president of Unicorp National Development here, told SN that a Gooding's store that opened in June at the developer's Water Tower Place shopping center in Celebration, Fla., closed because of poor sales, and not because of signage and visibility complaints levied by Gooding's ...

Congenital Dislocation of Hip.
—From a study of 349 cases of congenital dislocation of the hip, Engelmann1 is led to the conclusion that heredity plays a large part in the etiology. He describes the architectural similarity which he found in the pelvic bones of different members of one family, and he believes that the bony features which conduce to mechanically weak joints may likewise be transmitted to descendants. In 253 cases he was able to demonstrate, in addition to the dislocation of the hip, other congenital lesions, most frequently clubfoot.Ryerson2 believes that much of the difficulty in maintaining reduction of the hip in infants after manipulation may be avoided by the use of removable celluloid casts. These are not affected by the contamination of urine and feces, may be washed, and possess other obvious advantages over plaster.Adams3 describes the obstacles to reduction which

What if I had three master MySQL servers and wanted to use mysql-proxy to "dispatch" connections from my nineteen app servers to the appropriate MySQL server. That way all the app servers would be pointed at a single hostname or IP and that single mysql-proxy server would redirect the requests to whichever MySQL machine contained the database it needed. Each app server has multiple JBoss instances running on it and each JBoss instance has a single database located on a particular MySQL server.
Has anyone ever done this? I don't know what to call it. It's not load balancing and not clustering either. It would be a way to obviate the need to change config files on each app server when moving databases to different servers.

"A bit of history" Top 5 Page for this destination Dearborn by HotRodEtte
Dearborn Travel Guide: 52 reviews and 185 photos
Dearborn is a growing city filled with fun, food and entertainment. I happen to work in the area, and although East Dearborn may hold a few good restaurants and are booming with strip clubs, but if classy is what you're looking for, West Dearborn is the place to be.
Since I live less than 30 minutes from the city of Dearborn, I have never experienced a hotel stay here. However, the nicest (and most upscale) places to stay here include the Hyatt Regency, the Ritz Carlton and the Dearborn Inn (also where weddings and banquets are frequently held).

Behind the Scenes at O'Reilly Media's Digital Books – Questions answered by Andrew Savikas, Vice-President, Digital Initiatives
MyMac Interview by John Nemerovski and Roger Born
MyMac: How difficult is it to prepare all aspects of your digital editions?
O'REILLY: Most of our books are produced using an XML-based production process and toolchain. While it wasn't easy or cheap to build that out, now that it's in place we are able to use a single source to generate print, PDF, EPUB, Mobipocket, iPhone, and Android editions of the books.
MyMac: What is the price differential compared to conventional print books?
O'REILLY: For ebooks sold directly from oreilly.com, most are priced at 80% of the price of the print book. We are paying close attention to prices on various ebook devices and stores, and are doing some experimentation of our own to try and measure the price elasticity of demand for digital books.
MyMac: How successful have you been at informing, educating, and expanding your readership?
O'REILLY: Digital books outsell print books more than 2:1 on our website. So pretty good, it would seem.
MyMac: Where do iPhone/iTouch, Kindle, BlackBerry, and other small format devices fit into your evolving technology?
O'REILLY: Mobile devices are absolutely the most important digital channel for us right now. There are 40M iPhones around the world, and some estimates are that there will be at least as many Android devices within a year. That's one or two orders of magnitude more smartphones than ebook devices, so it's simply going to be a bigger market.
MyMac: Which titles are most popular, and which ones don't have any traction?

Andrew Giuliani and Sarah Hughes Are Dating
For real this time.
Meet your newest random celebrity pairing: Sarah Hughes, the former Olympic figure skater who beat Michelle Kwan to win the gold medal in 2002, and Andrew Giuliani, the child of the former mayor who most recently made the news for his failed lawsuit against Duke University after he was kicked off the golf team. At the party celebrating the launch of their friend Johnny Weir's autobiography at 230 Fifth, the new couple confirmed to Intel that they are indeed an item. "We've only been dating awhile, but we've known each other years and years," Hughes said. "We've tried to figure out how long we've known each other," Giuliani added. "We're not sure."
Because they've been friends for so long, rumors spread that they dated in 2005, when they were photographed at the premiere of The Island together, though at the time they were just friends. "We went to a movie premiere. I had an invitation, and I didn't want to go by myself, so I invited him," Hughes said. "And then it was surprise! Paparazzi." This time though, it's for real. And just in time for Rudy Giuliani to ponder another Republican primary run for the presidency! An Olympic gold medalist, the perfect addition to the family portrait. Watch out, Sarah Hughes: Bristol Palin's gonna have you in her crosshairs...

Here you will find a wide selection of authentic vintage hats. You will find designer and department store names as well as lesser known millinery masterpieces. Styles range from the wide, flamboyant pieces of the 1900's and 1910's, the low- brimmed, timeless cloches of the 1920's, the lower profiles of the 1930's and 1940's, the classic cocktail hats and pillboxes of the 1950's and 1960's and most everything in between and beyond.
Over the years hats have often been an outlet for creative expression. Designers have used accessories ranging from bows and ribbons to jewels and sequins to feathers. Millinery design had such an impact on the bird population during the 1900's that anti-plumage laws were enacted.

|Tannins as feed additives to modulate ruminal biohydrogenation: effects on animal performance, milk fatty acid composition and ruminal fermentation in dairy ewes fed a diet containing sunflower oil
|Toral, Pablo G. ; Hervás, Gonzalo ; Bichi, Elena ; Belenguer, Álvaro ; Frutos, Pilar
|Chestnut tannin
Conjugated linoleic acid
Vaccenic acid
|Issue Date:
|Animal Feed Science and Technology 164 (3-4) : 199-206 (2011)
|In vitro studies have suggested that feeding tannins to ruminants can favourably alter ruminal biohydrogenation of dietary linoleic acid, enhancing accumulation of trans-11 18:1 (VA, vaccenic acid) in the rumen and thereby the content of some human health promoting fatty acids, such as VA and cis-9 trans-11 18:2 (rumenic acid, RA), in dairy or meat products. However, reports on impacts of these phenolic compounds on milk fatty acid (FA) profile are very limited and inconsistent. Therefore, fourteen Assaf ewes in mid lactation were used to examine effects of addition of a mixture (1:1, w/w) of two commercial oenological extracts of quebracho condensed tannins (CT) and chestnut hydrolysable tannins (HT) to a diet containing sunflower oil (SO) on animal performance, milk yield and composition, and ruminal fermentation. All sheep received a total mixed ration based on alfalfa hay and a concentrate (400:600), supplemented with 20 g of SO/kg dry matter (DM) plus 0 (Control; n = 7) or 10 (TAN; n = 7)g of tannins/kg DM. Milk production and composition was analyzed on days 0, 3, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 21, 24 and 27 on treatments, and milk FA profile on days 0, 3, 6, 12, 18 and 27. Neither DM intake nor milk, or its component, yield was affected by TAN treatment. Similarly, addition of the extract of tannins to a SO containing ration did not alter concentrations of the major FA classes in milk (i.e., saturates, monounsaturates, and polyunsaturates), had very limited effects on the proportion of particular FA, and was not able to enhance milk VA and RA enrichment above that achieved with SO supplementation. Temporal changes in milk FA composition were characterized by an increase in unsaturated FA with 18 carbons, mainly cis and trans 18:1, and a concomitant reduction in most short and medium chain saturates (6:0 to 12:0 and 16:0; P<0.05) attributable to the presence of SO in the diet. Addition of tannins did not affect ruminal fermentation parameters (i.e., pH, lactate, ammonia, and total volatile fatty acid concentrations) measured after 28 days. Reasons for the lack of effects of either type (quebracho CT and chestnut HT) or amount of tannins in the diet are discussed.

Electroconvulsive therapy, also known as ECT, may be a viable option for consenting adult patients with severe depression who are not responding to anti-depressant medications. It is also sometimes used for patients diagnosed with psychosis, catatonia, or manic symptoms.
For full therapeutic benefit, several sessions of ECT, typically three per week, are required. Usually, a course of six to 12 treatments is required over two to four weeks.
Treatment most often begins with a hospital stay and continues after discharge until the recommended course is complete. Ongoing outpatient ECT treatment - once every one to two months - will prevent relapse.
During the procedure, the following occurs:
In the past, ECT had more severe side effects that caused many patients to reject it as a treatment option. In recent years, there have been many improvements in ECT. Temporary side effects of today's ECT may include:

Interesting Meta-Update Hits Windows Update, Confirms Impending SP1 Release
When I logged onto my primary desktop this morning, I noticed a new out-of-band (OOB) update from Microsoft had hit the update center. Normally, such updates are reserved for security fixes sufficiently hot to mean that waiting for the next patch Tuesday (February 8, 2011 in this case) is not a good idea. But today's OOB is something different: an update for the Windows Update code that's designed to do something with how updates get handled in the future.
Here's how the governing Knowledge Base article for this particular update describes what's going on this time around (interestingly, this same KB article number has been reused many times in the past, and is apparently invoked any time updates affect how Windows Update or the Microsoft Installer software themselves behave):
Updates to the Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 installation software are included in this update. The installation software is the component that handles the installation and the removal of software updates, language packs, optional Windows features, and service packs. This update is necessary to successfully install and to remove any service packs to all versions of Windows 7 and on Windows Server 2008 R2.
The italicized emphasis in the preceding quote is mine, and ties back to my Friday blog Rumors of Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 SP1 Point to Imminent Release. If you're looking for proof positive straight from the only unimpeachable source in this matter — namely, Microsoft itself — look no further: here it is in indisputable form.
Now, the only real question remains: how soon will MS release SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2 and Windows 7 (which share a common code base, after all)? The timing on this preparatory update argues that they won't wait for the February Patch Tuesday for SP1 either, but we'll just have to wait and see. Stay tuned!
Rumors of Windows 7, Server 2008 R2 SP1 Point to Imminent Release
I always love seeing images like this one (attributed to Alex Kibkalo in this blog from Matthew Jones entitled "Rumour: Windows 7 Service Pack 1 to be released to OEMs tomorrow") when rumors of upcoming software releases start to swirl in cyberspace:
Face it: Microsoft has been talking about the first service pack for Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 R2 since early last summer, and the service pack has been working its way through beta test since July of 2010. Though Microsoft has been characteristically coy about when the final release would start making its way to OEMs, partners, and the general public, it's not too incredible or suprising that leaks are pointing to something pretty soon (you don't get to see a "About" window sans beta disclaimers unless things are pretty darn close). Given that OEMs may receive SP1 any day now, look for it to hit MSDN some time in February, with general availability through Windows Update in March or April.
That said, Microsoft has promised all along that SP1 won't introduce major changes or very much significant new functionality into Windows 7 (though the story is somewhat different for Windows Server 2008 R2). Apparently, the main addition for Windows 7 users will be an improved remote access protocol that's supposed to offer better performance, and a richer graphics and media environment when running remote access sessions. Other than that, SP1 represents mostly bug fixes and, of course, a roll-up of all the many updates and fixes that have preceded its release through Windows Update since Windows 7 went final in July (to OEMS) and reached the general public in October, 2009.
Old Hardware, New Uses
In my continuing efforts to turn a balky and failing 2000/2001 vintage Dell C610 notebook into a slow but still viable Windows XP machine for my sister, I've been learning some interesting things about Dell hardware and drivers (see my previous blog "Hooray: USB-to-IDE/SATA Converter is a Cheap, Effective Hardware Item" for other misadventures with this machine). It turns out this laptop came out just when Windows was shifting from 2000 to XP, and right about the time that Wi-Fi interfaces changed their status from "nice but pricey add-on" to "standard equipage" on such machines.
Because this box contains a Broadcom BCM94309MP 802.11 b/g interface, when Windows XP failed to recognize the card and supply a driver, I found myself at a bit of an impasse in getting the device working on the C610. The device itself is readily accessible through the bottom hatch, secured only by three small Philips-head screws, but it contains no Dell label nor a Dell-specific part number.
Why am I telling you this? Because the Dell drivers themselves are available only through their Dell designations, which for these Broadcom devices take the form of "Dell TrueMobile 1xxx" where valid model numbers span a range from 1150 to 1450, and perhaps beyond (I didn't look further than what was needed to install a working driver on this machine). But finding that driver took a bit of luck, some perseverance, and calls to a neighborhood PC technician at my local Mr. Notebook outlet, and to a pool-playing buddy of mine who's a former third-level notebook support technician for Dell.
As it turns out, DriverAgent correctly identified the model number for the Broadcom Device as a Dell TrueMobile 1400 but it supplied me with what it claimed was a valid driver that produced an installer error on the machine ("incompatible hardware" was its gist) when I tried to get it up and running. After going through another half-dozen drivers on a trial-and-error basis and getting nowhere, I resorted to my network to get some insight on what to do next. Chris (my Mr. Notebook) contact admitted that those drivers can be hard to identify and volunteered to fix it for me when I bring him the unit to have its top deck hinges replaced. Jason (my Dell tech support wizard) told me the unit was either a TrueMobile 1300 or 1400, since the Broadcom part number indicated 802.11 b/g support.
I couldn't find a working driver through DriverAgent, but when I searched Dell support for a TrueMobile 1300 driver and installed it (the 1400 driver doesn't work but the unit now identifies itself as a 1400 unit — go figure!) the device finally came up and started working properly. Some forms of PC knowledge can only be acquired the hard way, it seems, so this is one experience I'm glad to have behind me instead of still ahead. Just goes to show that not everything that seems obvious, or that in fact should be obvious, is not necessarily obvious at all. But trial and error, and a little expert advice, finally steered me into the right software. Whew, what a relief!
Hooray: USB-to-IDE/SATA Converter is a Cheap, Effective Hardware Item
Last spring, my sister announced to me that she'd purchased her son a Dell Latitude C610 notebook on eBay for around $200. "Did I do the right thing?" she asked. "I don't know," I said, "let's see how it works out." The box ran for about four months, after which it got horribly infested with malware and stopped booting. So she shipped it to me for repairs. I upgraded the memory from 384 MB of RAM to 1 GB, replaced the 30 GB HD with a 160 GB Seagate model, installed a new battery and PSU, then installed Windows XP SP3 (I don't think this Pentium 3 model is up to Windows 7), then sent it back to her (I didn't worry about the malware, because I removed and junked the affected drive).
But then, about four more months later, the unit stopped booting. It took a bit of sleuthing around, but I eventually determined that the hard disk was having problems. But I was stymied for some time by the PATA drive itself, and it was only after cobbling together a couple of adapters (one from the Dell internal interface pinouts to standard PATA, the next from PATA to USB) that I was easily able to hook the drive up to another system, troubleshoot its issues (a corrupted MBR), repair the damage, and put the system back together. For a few months, in fact, I got nowhere at all.
Then, I discovered an adapter that's widely available for under $10 from many sources (*@#!!) that helped me ferret out my issues. And in fact, because it works with both SATA and PATA (IDE) interfaces, it seems tailor-made for troubleshooting notebook drives — at least, as long as you've got another computer into which you can plug the offending unit, after you've removed it from its customary housing. This item is called a "USB 2.0 to IDE/SATA Converter cable" and purchase info pops up readily in your favorite search engine if you submit that string for lookup.
USB 2.0 to SATA/IDE converter cable elements
The unit even includes a small plug-in PSU to supply power to the external drive, as well as the various cables necessary to get from the driver to the adapter itself. A terrific bargain for under $10, I must say!
Although it's not as fast or effective as the SATA drive caddies I routinely use for messing around with 3.5″ drives of that type, it does the job and can handle both SATA and PATA/IDE interfaces with ease. As you go poking around inside notebook PCs — especially older ones with IDE drives — you'll find that this little gem pays for itself the first time you use it. A vital part of any well-equipped PC toolkit, I don't know why I didn't learn about this device sooner, nor why I haven't owned one for years instead of months.
Windows 7 Crosses 20 Percent Share Line
Reports are popping up all over the Web that Windows 7 broke the 20 percent market share barrier last month, according to figures released by Internet tracking firm NetApplications over the New Year's weekend. The company pegs Windows 7 online usage for December 2010 at 20.9% of all desktops counted. This is up 1.2 points from the preceding month, and represents a usage share level that Windows Vista never, ever reached.
Vista's current usage level has dropped to 12.1%, which is on par with its usage rate in July 2008 (eight months after its initial business release, and six months after the GA release in January of that year). At the same time, Windows overall usage rate is down to a "mere" 90.3%, which is down almost two percent for 2010, according to this ComputerWorld story (1/3/2011). From November to December, Windows XP's losses exactly matched Windows 7's gains, as it declined by 1.2 percent to 56.7% for December 2010.
What does all this mean? The migration momentum from XP to Windows 7 (or Vista to Windows 7 for those intrepid enough to have moved to Vista in the first place) is clearly picking up. I expect 2011 to be a big year for enterprise Windows 7 adoptions and migrations. Net Applications predicts that Windows 7 will peak in October 2012 at a rate of 44.7%, though that time is still more than 18 months out. It will be interesting to see if the current numbers that permit them to guesstimate such future trends are borne out by real events. Only time will tell!
Unlocker Utility Removes File Delete Frustration
Especially when updating Adobe Flash Player components (for example, Flash10k.ocx) at Secunia's behest after updating that software for security reasons, I have to jump through some hoops to delete the offending file. Until recently, this meant shutting down Secunia altogether (it uses Flash, too, and thus locks the very file it seeks to have removed) so that I could delete that file, then restarting it to restore my system to normal operation.
This also pops up occasionally in other situations, either because a file is locked by the OS, in use by an application, or otherwise declared off-limits for deletion. I've even resorted to booting my system into Linux, then running an NTFS file system driver, to hunt down and remove the most stubbornly insistent of Windows files. No more!
I stumbled across a great, free utility called Unlocker this weekend (here's a link to the FileHippo download, but you can grab this puppy from any or all of the major shareware sites including CNET, SoftPedia, and so forth, as well). I found myself facing the need to delete some orphaned Windows Update files left behind by Vista or XP on my Asus EeePC 1000HE notebook this weekend, and found reference to this utility in forum posts that explained how to root out and remove these items. Here's a screencap of the soon-to-be-deleted items from the Recycle Bin after Unlocker worked its magic:
Unlocker moved the 2e242ef69985… directory and all of its contents into the Recycle Bin
The software installs quickly and easily (warning: Unlocker Assistant works fine with XP, but with neither Vista nor Windows 7), and you can invoke the program through the Start button menu hierarchy (Start Unlocker) or right-click on an object inside Windows Explorer to take advantage of the program's shell extension. After that, you can choose to delete any object you want inside the Windows file system. Obviously this means you'll need to proceed with caution because the tool will cheerfully and compliantly trash key Windows files as well as other items perhaps more worthy of deletion. A great tool, even so!
French developer Cedrick Collomb did a nice job with this tool. But it will inform you that a more recent version is available when you first run it, even though activating the supplied link for same triggers a 403 (Access forbidden) HTTP error. I've e-mailed him to see if this can be fixed, but in the meantime you'll need to stand pat with version 1.9.0 which, as I've already mentioned, is widely available on major shareware and download sites. Enjoy!
Interesting BIOS Flash Experience
I've got an Asus EeePC 1000HE netbook, and this weekend I went through a machine refresh for the Windows 7 Professional installation on that machine (I could run Windows 7 Starter on this box, and very well might if I had to pay retail for my Windows OSes, but I like the ability to use RDP to remote in from my primary desktop when I'm working at home). I finally got around to reading the Asus Windows 7 "Self-Upgrade" guide and learned that I should update my BIOS and some drivers to get the best performance from this unit. Along the way, I also learned some interesting lessons, and made some equally interesting observations.
Asus offers a ROM-driven EZ Flash utility on its notebook and netbook PCS — and for all I know, for its motherboards, too…goes off to look, and yes it applies to some, but not all Asus motherboards as well — that lets you simply copy a BIOS update to the root of a UFD and use it at boot time to flash the BIOS. Interestingly, this utility only works with UFDs formatted in the FAT16 format. I tried a FAT32 formatted UFD, and while the utility found the file and said it was reading it, it hung without changing anything until I switched the formatting over to FAT16 (described simply as FAT in the Microsoft Format tool)
How the Win7 Format Utility Reports FAT16: It Appears as Plain "FAT" format
And, of course, to format a UFD to FAT/FAT16, it must be 4 GB or smaller in size (Windows won't let you format a larger UFD to FAT16 because 4GB is its absolute file/volume size limit). Once I figured this out, everything went pretty smoothly with the BIOS update, and when installed it did shave about 22 seconds off my previous boot time, as reported in Soluto for that machine.
I also learned that while some 1000HE models support AHCI for speedier SATA access, my machine isn't one of those (and that dampens my enthusiasm for installing an SSD in that box because it will limit its performance as well). I went through a few interesting contortions to get all the right drivers installed too, particularly the x86 PC ACPI driver that the 1000HE needs to enable use of its various control and function buttons. The "key" to that problem was to find and install a Windows 7 "EeeInstantKey" utility which not only provided programmatic access to key management functions, but the necessary Windows 7 driver as well (it doesn't show up in Device Manager so it's not directly accessible for update through more conventional techniques).
For a while, during the period when all the new drivers and software changes were taking root, my boot time zoomed from around 2:35-2:45 to a whopping 8 minutes. But after all the installs and refreshes took hold, the boot time dropped to 2:08-2:15. I'm not sure the results justify the efforts that went into obtaining them, but I did get to learn quite a bit along the way.
Holiday Diversion 4: Microsoft Research Goodies
Check out this TechNet blog: "Microsoft Research – free holiday booty." It profiles and depicts five very cool, free tools you can download and play with from Microsoft Research:
- Kodu comes from the FUSE labs team. It's a visual programming language built specifically for creating games that's also simple and fun enough to appeal to kids, and let them get right to work.
- AutoCollage is a program that uses computer vision and image processing to make collages from a collection of photos. It uses face detection, various relevancy and saliency filters, and other cool MS technologies to grab interesting parts of pictures, and then employs object selecting and blending technologies to combine images into an AutoCollage. Neat!
- Photosynth takes photos and combines them to create a 3D scene from their visual content, and provides a POV (point of view) engine that then lets you view and move around inside that virtual world. This technology has been used by organizations that include National Geographic, NASA, and the Obama inauguration team to create "synths," among thousands of other such environments also available online.
- WorldWide Telescope provides tools for viewing our universe but also enables developers to produce customized visualizations for astronomical and planetary data. It's a real tour-de-force illustration of effective data use, and should become a popular and powerful educational tool at all levels.
- Team Crossword is another FUSE labs goody — namely, a Web-based collaborative tool for creating and sharing crossword puzzles with your friends. Use it to start a puzzle, and then invite friends and colleagues to work together to solve it!
I hope you get time to look at and play with at least one or two of these items as you while away the hours before we all go back to the grind next Monday. Happy New Year!!
Holiday Diversion 3: It Beats "The dog ate my homework!" Stone Cold
In keeping with my wont to look for and report on the lighter side of IT during that fallow period between Christmas and New Year's here's a terrific slide show from eWeek.com. Entitled "Kroll Ontrack's Top 10 Data Storage Disasters of 2010." Like the old Letterman Top 10 Lists, it's numbered in reverse order and includes the following items:
10. A Square Peg in a Round Hole: a laptop gets fried when the wrong charger gets plugged into its power port
9. Double Data Recovery: A foolproof redundant backup scheme fails when somebody accidentally overwrites data on a set of six drives stored in a fireproof safe
8. Keeping the memories alive: Kroll saves precious memories when they recover the only photos remaining of a now-deceased family member from the wiped drive on a stolen (and recovered) laptop
7. Meat the experts: hard disk meets cured ham but data recovery is a complete success
6. Up in the air: a frequent flyer leaves a laptop in an airport coffee bar; subsequent detonation by the bomb squad prevents any data recovery
5. The flying squash: a woman in a hurry to get to work puts her notebook on top of her car to buckle her child into its car seat; when she backs out of the garage, the laptop flies off the car and she runs over the HD; no recovery possible
4. Laptop kitty disaster: when a young kitten uses a laptop for a litter box, Ontrack recovers the HD contents anyway
3. Fire drop: When running out of his burning apartment to escape a fire, a photographer drops his notebook; Ontrack still manages to score a complete recovery of precious photos for charity work
2. The Ants Go Marching In: After a flood in Europe leaves a PC submerged for over two days, its drive is sent to Ontrack for recovery, where an ant is found clinging to a drive head. The data survives, but the ant is a goner.
1. Laptops underwater: To protect his laptop during a beach visit, a man stashes it inside a plastic bag and takes it swimming with him. The bag leaks, but Ontrack manages to recover the data anyway.
I'm glad I've never left a laptop atop my car: I've sure sent plenty of cups and bottles flying, though. Nice to know occasional moments of lunacy or thoughtlessness never go completely unnoticed. Here's a case where 80% of incidents result in recovery of some or all the potentially lost data, albeit at considerable cost. Happy New Year!
More Details on Windows 7 Troubleshooters
In researching a vexing IE problem on one of my Windows 7 desktops, I stumbled across a treasure trove of troubleshooting tools that are readily available to all Windows 7 users and admins. I had never run across many of these, and am glad to have a new place to turn when trouble pops up and is in need of shooting. Here's what you can do to see Windows 7 long and impressive list of troubleshooting tools (aka "troubleshooters").
1. Click Start, Control Panel.
2. If in icon view, click "Troubleshooting;" if in category view type "Troubshooter" into the search box.
3. Either way, click "Troubleshooting."
4. Click "View All" in the left hand column of the Troubleshooting window to produce a complete list of troubleshooting utilities.
Windows 7 Complete List of Troubleshooters
The one that caught my eye was entitled "Internet Explorer Performance," where you'll find a tool to check for defective add-ons (a common cause of IE issues on my own and many other machines). There are quite a few others worth exploring there, too: check it out!

It is bad enough for Arsenal and their fans that we were beaten to the signature of Eden Hazard in the summer of 2012 when Chelsea apparently swooped in and offered his French club Lille more money. And now it looks like history may be about to repeat itself.

Arsenal transfer news – Cuadrado and Bakkali
They may sound like a strange comedy duo, but Juan Cuadrado and Zakaria Bakkali could soon be plying their trade on the Emirates pitch if the recent transfer rumours hold any water. And they would both bring pace and wing play to an Arsenal side that has really struggled for it since losing Theo Walcott to injury.
Would these young PSV stars be good enough for Arsenal?
Bakkali and Wijnaldum by Stefan
Most of the popular newspapers in The Netherlands today are reporting that Arsenal are targeting two of PSV Eindhoven's best players as the club rushes to sign some new players before the start of the new Premier League season.
Arsenal must avoid Fenerbahce in Champions League play-offs
Arsenal on brink of Champions League by Stefan
I am getting worried about the Champions League play-offs as I usually do when it concerns Arsenal. We have to go through this process because we could only finish fourth in the league last season and we barely managed that. The team celebrated at the end of last season for qualifying, but we didn't actually qualify there and then. It should be a simple task but when it comes to Arsenal lately, there is no such thing as a simple task.
Preview of Arsenal's Champions League play-offs
By this time next week, Arsenal will know the name of the team that will try to stop Arsene Wenger and the Gunners continuing the remarkable run of seasons qualifying for and getting through the group stages of the Champions League. The draw takes place at 11 am English time next Friday and the two legs will then be played on the Tuesday and Wednesday after the Premier League kicks off and then the week after as well.

Arsenal scouting £20m-rated Dutch international midfielder
It has been revealed that the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has sent his chief scout Steve Rowley to Holland to watch the PSV midfielder Kevin Strootman in action in yesterday's big game against Ajax. The £20m-rated Dutch international has been tracked by Manchester United for some time, but with Wenger desperate to improve his team in the centre of the park he is willing to break the club's transfer record to bring in the 22 year-old.
Arsenal linked with £10m Dutch international star
New Dutch sensation Kevin Strootman is due to become the next big thing in Football, and according to today's TalkSport, the 22-year-old midfielder has attracted the interest of the Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

My ESPNLosAngeles.com colleague Dave McMenamin's got the words. I'm providing the "talkies." Both versions support the same conclusion: Kobe Bryant appears unlikely to suit up Thursday against the Boston Celtics, even though, as he joked, we're talking about a "big TNT doubleheader."
For the time being, ain't happening. Maybe if Mamba wakes up Thursday feeling especially pain-free and explosive it'll be another story, but Bryant's not betting on such a rapid recovery. As he notes, this isn't just a matter of an ankle sprain, which he's played through in the past, but also strained tendons (and muscles in his left leg), "which often have their own agenda on when they want to heal up."
Once Kobe actually made the decision to miss a game (much less a handful), it struck me as considerably easier to take whatever time necessary to heal up, since he's already gone this far. My instincts were correct. "I'm not going to have it be in vain," said Bryant of his absence. Plus, the process isn't so agonizing when his teammates not only encourage him to get back into the pink, but step up with him on the shelf. As a result, 24's quite literally losing no sleep over this situation.
"When I lay my head down and go to sleep for a couple hours or however long I sleep, I'm happy."
Phil Jackson is known for a big picture view, so it's no shocker he's cool with Kobe missing some regular season games, even against tough opponents, if it means being being as healthy as possible come April and beyond.
Speaking of tough games, Ron Artest isn't particularly caught up in the Lakers-Celtics "rivalry thing or whatever." He just wants to win the game. For that matter, he's not interested in revisiting his jostling with Paul Pierce's before the opening jump ball during January's win in Boston.
"I'm beyond that. It's a whole new day. Can't really focus on the past."
For all of the media/fan talk about how going 4-0 without Kobe helps build the team's confidence, the supporting cast hasn't seemed particularly fazed by the good fortune. As Lamar Odom notes, "We've known for two or three seasons now that the strength of our team is our depth. When one guy goes out, even when it's Kobe, we've got other guys who can step up now ready to play. We know how good we are."
If you ever need confirmation of just how badly Pau Gasol wants to be a Laker for life, check out the following clip, then wonder no more. His odds of getting traded are about as likely as me getting offered a max deal contract, but when I dryly noted El Spaniard probably isn't going anywhere, his reaction was deadly earnest:
"I hope not. It's where I want to be and I'm going to continue to work hard to be here."
Not even a hint of a smile. That's what several years toiling in Memphis can do to the ol' funny bone.

Are Golf Tournaments Too Big?
As More No-Names Win, the Sport's Popularity Takes a Hit; Trimming the Field Could Help
If recent form holds, Sunday's final round at the PGA Championship will serve as a crowning moment for someone most sports fans—even those who care a lot about golf—have never heard of.
In the past seven major championships, golfers who won had ended their previous season with a cumulative average world ranking of 46. But that's not including Y.E. Yang, who won the 2009 PGA Championship but wasn't among the top 300 in the world before that season began.
As the sport ponders a future without Tiger Woods stalking the leaderboard nearly every week, the prospect of recent PGA Tour winners like Bill Haas (No. 199 at the end of 2009), Carl Pettersson (No. 212) or Jason Day (No. 140) hoisting the Wanamaker trophy this weekend is causing considerable jitters.
"It doesn't do anything for golf's profile in the larger sports world for all these unknowns to keep winning," said Kevin Cook, the golf historian and author of "Tommy's Honor," about the early years of the British Open. "It's a concern when you have Graeme McDowell and Louis Oosthuizen winning majors, because it isn't going to make any headlines outside of golf."
Despite the obvious nature of the problem, nobody seems to be asking: Why are these no-names being invited to the party in the first place?
A typical golf tournament is one of the larger fields in sports. This week's PGA Championship at Whistling Straits in Wisconsin will have some 156 entrants, 22% more than the largest professional tennis tournaments and 3½ times the number of cars in a Nascar race. Unlike those sports, which favor the strongest competitors with better seeds and starting positions, every player at a golf tournament starts with the same blank slate.
Tradition holds that after the first two rounds of play in a golf tournament, a line is drawn through the field and everyone who has scored below that line is sent home. It doesn't matter if they've won 50 tournaments or they're a celebrity and a magnet for ticket sales, they don't get to play anymore. Already this year, the world's top 10 players of 2009 have been cut, collectively, 18 times in various tournaments.
Never mind that this system excludes some of the world's top players, or that there's no financial incentive for a tournament to have a large field (players don't pay to play in most tournaments and they don't earn a share of the prize money unless they make the cut). An odd consequences of the system is that it actually makes it easier for ordinary shlubs to win. If you put two great rounds together, the number of people you have to beat is magically sawed in half.
So here's the second seemingly obvious question for golf to ponder: Couldn't these tournaments solve this problem by inviting fewer golfers to participate in the first place?
Like nearly everything in golf, the explanation for the way things are dates to 19th-century Scotland. By the 1890s, so many hackers had begun to show up for the British Open that organizers decided in 1898 to institute a cut. After the first 36 holes, they eliminated anyone without a reasonable chance of winning. After some refinements, the U.S. Golf Association adopted the British rule in 1904, and henceforward, any player who was more that 15 strokes behind 10th place after 36 holes was sent packing.
Today, the "cut" is an accepted and wholly unquestioned part of golf. The PGA Tour says it has had no discussions about doing away with the practice. Tyler Dennis, competitions director for the PGA Tour, said the size of the field and the cut have been a part of the sport's main pro circuit since its founding in 1968, and no one is considering dumping it. "We wouldn't change that part of the structure," he said.
There are good reasons for golf's most prestigious circuit to stay the course. The PGA Tour has 210 card-carrying members who need to make a living from week to week. And a big field also allows a mechanism for new stars to emerge. "It's not a PGA Tour with just 30 people; that's a club," said Mr. Haas, who won the Bob Hope classic in January. Jim Nantz, the lead golf commentator for CBS, described 2010 as "a landmark year for the game in terms of guys getting confidence and belief that they are able to win."
The upside of a big field was on display 10 days ago, when Stuart Appleby, ranked 159th in the world at the time, shot a remarkable 59 to win the Greenbrier Classic in West Virginia. "All of us out here have potential to play that good, and that's the Tour's take on it," said Tim Petrovic, who is in the field this week despite having just a single Tour win in a 22-year career.
The downside of the system is its effect on the game's popularity—something that is already showing some signs of erosion. Ratings of Sunday golf telecasts in the U.S. this year are down 17% according to Nielsen Co. As exciting as Mr. Appleby's rare 59 was, he rounded out a top 10 at the Greenbrier that featured just a single player in the top 100 and two who aren't ranked. Just 1.7 million people in the U.S. bothered to watch the final round, about half the average of all final rounds this year.
The challenge facing golf, said Rick Gentile, former executive producer of CBS Sports, is "that risk that you end up with crappola on Saturday and Sunday."
As Mr. Woods struggles, the rise of the no-names can be especially hard on the major events, which draw more casual viewers and have more to lose. The U.S. audience for Mr. Oosthuizen's final round at St. Andrews was 46% smaller than last year's Sunday duel between Stewart Cink and Tom Watson.
If any major has weathered the storm better than the others, it's the Masters. That's the most selective major, with a field of 90 to 100 players in most years, who must receive an invitation to compete—and who mostly are ranked among the top 50 in the world. The Masters cut allows for only the players with the 44 lowest scores, including ties, and those within 10 strokes of the lead to survive. Not surprisingly, the tournament winner is more often a major star. This year's winner, Phil Mickelson, gave the tournament a 17% bump in the ratings from last year.
Kerry Haigh, managing director of tournaments for the PGA of America, which runs the PGA Championship, said the organizers try to guard against no-name victories. Only golf professionals play in the PGA's local qualifiers, amateurs aren't invited into the field, and the PGA reserves the right to invite about 30 additional players, often those playing well abroad who haven't met other qualifying requirements. "If you had a smaller field, you wouldn't have some of the better players," Mr. Haigh said.
Perhaps the best example of the benefits of a large field is the 1991 PGA at Crooked Stick in Indiana, where John Daly, the unknown ninth alternate, won by three shots. The day before the tournament, Mr. Daly had received a phone call and drove all night from Memphis to play.
This year, Mr. Woods, who is struggling to emerge from the worst slump of his career, heads into the tournament facing the prospect of a second straight season without a major championship. Said Sean McManus, president of CBS Sports, which is broadcasting the tournament: "You hope when the tournament comes to the 18th hole it's not yet decided."

- "Introducing the future of health and wellness, the Vita-Chamber."
- ―Ad from Ryan Industries[src]
Vita-Chambers are devices which resurrect individuals who die of trauma in their vicinity[1]. Vita-Chambers are placed in convenient locations throughout Rapture so that a revived player will not have to travel too far to continue a battle. When the player is revived, they will be given a considerable amount of health and EVE. The player does not have a fixed number of lives, so the Vita-Chambers can be used infinitely.
At some point in late 1958 to early 1959, Sinclair Solutions in partnership with Suchong Laboratories successfully manufactured the Vita-Chamber for Ryan Industries. The device is described to use a combination of Plasmids reconstructed within a quantum field entanglement to potentially bring people back to life. According to Suchong, the key players in its development were his colleague Alexander and Sinclair himself. Suchong was also involved in the project and handled the first deployment stage for Ryan Industries: the mass-production and installation of the device throughout Rapture. Despite his work on the project, he remained skeptical to the device's "fantastical" possibilities of resurrection, even though he himself invented Plasmids.[2]
Trigger MechanismEdit
One of the drawbacks of the Vita-Chambers is that they can only bring a person back to life if he or she dies of trauma. Slow wasting sicknesses or genetic illness can not be cured by a Vita-Chamber, so an individual who died of such a condition would remain permanently dead.[3] It also appears that the Vita-Chambers can also revive a body independently of the time of death, as Subject Delta was resurrected nearly 10 years after his death.
Impact on RaptureEdit
Widespread advertisements for the Vita-Chamber describe it as "restoring vigor and spirit with the touch of a button." This implies that the chamber's true purpose of life-restoration was hidden from the population and only procured them restorative treatments. The Adonis Luxury Resort also had a Vita-Chamber as part of their treatments. By the time of Rapture's downfall in 1959, possibly hundreds of Vita-Chambers had been installed throughout the city.
Genetic KeyEdit
Even though Vita-Chambers were installed in most parts of the city, Andrew Ryan was the sole subject to whom they were attuned and could resurrect. Thus, they would only act upon Ryan, or someone with a similar genetic code.[2] This is the reason only Jack, who is Ryan's illegitimate son, can resurrect at these chambers. After the fatal confrontation between Jack and Andrew Ryan at Rapture Central Control, Ryan doesn't revive because he had intentionally shut off the Vita-Chamber in his office. Re-activating it however will not bring Ryan back to life.
- Main article: BioShock
Once the player's health reaches zero, Jack will collapse, only to be revived at any nearby Vita-Chamber. Vita-Chambers are found throughout the game, at least two per level.
Players who are attempting to gain the "Brass Balls" achievement/trophy or the "I Chose the Impossible" trophy can choose to disable all Vita-Chambers after downloading the 1.1 patch and DLC for BioShock (though the player is not obliged to do so; simply completing the game without dying unlocks the achievement, regardless of whether or not the Chambers are on). If the player is playing with the Vita-Chambers turned off, the main menu will be brought up upon death.
Help CaptionEdit
If you are killed by the hostile
BioShock 2Edit
- Main article: BioShock 2
In BioShock 2, the Vita-Chambers in the game can be disabled by a choice in the Gameplay Options menu to make it easier to gain the "Big Brass Balls " achievement/trophy.
Minerva's DenEdit
- Main article: Minerva's Den
Vita-Chambers are also present throughout BioShock 2's downloadable content, Minerva's Den, though no explanation is given as to why Subject Sigma would be able to use the chambers deployed inside the facility.
Help Caption
If you are killed by the hostile denizens of Rapture, you will be revived live and whole at the last Vita-Chamber you passed. Some of your health will be restored, and you will always have at least a small amount of EVE.
BioShock 2 MultiplayerEdit
- Main article: BioShock 2 Multiplayer
The function of the Vita-Chamber is not included in BioShock 2 Multiplayer, but closed chambers can be seen in the multiplayer map of Arcadia and Hephaestus.
The exclusive Gene Tonic: Resurrection is a "Tonic" version of the machine that resurrects a killed player, though only once.
BioShock InfiniteEdit
- Main article: BioShock Infinite
Burial at Sea - Episode 2Edit
- Main article: Burial at Sea - Episode 2
In BioShock Infinite's downloadable content, Burial at Sea - Episode 2, a stage one prototype of the Vita-Chamber can be found in the hidden research area of Dr. Suchong's Free Clinic. A chalkboard beside the device shows its schematics with notes from Suchong's diary on the project, such as the plans to first outline the mass production and distribution of the Vita-Chamber throughout Rapture to complete stage one. A note at the bottom of the board mentions how each device must be tuned to Andrew Ryan's specific genetic frequency before distribution.
- In some cases with BioShock, once a certain amount of time has elapsed since the download of the patch for the Xbox 360, the option "Disable Vita-Chambers" disappears. If this happens, the cache needs to be emptied, the download must be removed and the patch needs to be downloaded again.
Behind the ScenesEdit
- The "Vita" in Vita-Chamber is from the Latin vita, which means "life."
- An alternative name for the Vita-Chamber is Resurrection Station, cited both on the file name of its advertisement and on the description of Health Upgrade.
- The game's Vita-Chamber feature is an alternative to the Save-Die-Reload mechanism used in most games. The Vita-Chamber itself is inspired by the Quantum Bio-Reconstruction Machines from both System Shock and System Shock 2, the spiritual predecessors to BioShock. They were present only once on most levels and needed to be activated first before resurrecting the player there, otherwise it would be a game over.
- In BioShock 2, only the first Vita-Chamber encountered in the game is seen to have been re-coded to allow Subject Delta to come back to life. There are no indication as to why Delta can use all chambers he passes by later in the game.
- A similar device called Resurrecto was originally planned in the early Beta version of BioShock Infinite, but was ultimately replaced by two Tear-like animations, and at cost of some of the player's money upon each death and a game over if it went below 0 in 1999 Mode.

Hello again
In a column of my theme, I created a loop retrieving 10 paged posts from category 6.
<?php query_posts('posts_per_page=10&cat=6&paged='.$paged); ?>
Then the usual loop :
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
[bla bla bla]
When moving to page 2, 3 etc... and then reaching the end of the posts, Worpress does not see that there are no more posts and tries to display all ten of them, even though they are empty.
See screen capture
Is that normal ? How am I to tell WP that the post is empty and not display it ?
