23 Electrical and Computer Engineering Job Satisfaction: EETIMES Survey
24 Electrical and Computer Engineering Future ECE Job Prospects* Computer hardware engineers are expected to have employment growth of 4 percent over the projections decade, for all occupations. Although the use of information technology continues to expand rapidly, the manufacture of computer hardware is expected to be adversely affected by intense foreign competition. As computer and semiconductor manufacturers contract out more of their engineering needs to both domestic and foreign design firms, much of the growth in employment of hardware engineers is expected to take place in the computer systems design and related services industry. Electrical engineers are expected to have employment growth of 2 percent over the projections decade. Although strong demand for electrical devices including electric power generators, wireless phone transmitters, high-density batteries, and navigation systems should spur job growth, international competition and the use of engineering services performed in other countries will limit employment growth. Electrical engineers working in firms providing engineering expertise and design services to manufacturers should have better job prospects. Electronics engineers, are expected to experience little to no employment change over the projections decade. Although rising demand for electronic goods including communications equipment, defense-related equipment, medical electronics, and consumer products should continue to increase demand for electronics engineers, foreign competition in electronic products development and the use of engineering services performed in other countries will limit employment growth. Growth is expected to be fastest in service-providing industries particularly in firms that provide engineering and design services.little to no employment change *Bureau of Labor & Statistics

Cloverfield Monster Destroys San Francisco
Posted on Friday, December 21st, 2007 by Peter Sciretta
Today Chalk graffiti was found all around San Francisco. The message reads "What is Cloverfield? 1-18-08″. Did Paramount hire viral marketers to spread the word about the upcoming monster movie all over the city sidewalks? Or is there some crazy JJ Abrams fan with chalk on the loose?

Christian teachings were the seed-thoughts of our political constitutions, and Christian evangelism was the inspiration of American colonization. If we eliminate from our national history the direct and all-powerful influence of the Christian religion, we have nothing left but a set of disjointed facts without significance, dry and dreary annals without parentage or posterity. But on the other hand, a right apprehension of all the formative forces in our national life will vindicate the matured judgment of Emerson, that 'our whole history appears like a last effort of Divine Providence in behalf of the human race.' (Bishop Charles Galloway, Christianity and the American Commonwealth, 1898)
The greatest threat to any civilization is abandonment of God's moral standard, for He adjudicates the bounds and duration of their existence by His immutable nature, which is on display, day after day, and night after night, in His handiwork.
Until recent decades, the American pulpit embraced a revolutionary purpose as curator and exponent of the "whole counsel of God," resulting in a ubiquitous, healthy fear of God among the American people. Colonial ministers were chief advocates of the political ideology embodied in our nation's Founding Charters. The historical evidence is irrefutable: the colonial pulpit, set ablaze by the Great Awakening, became the Foundry of America's Charters of Freedom. Modern historians have confirmed that the rights asserted in our Founding Charters were preached from colonial pulpits in the fifteen years that culminated in the Battle of Lexington. The clergy were not just spectators that cheered from the sideline of the Rebellion. They stood out among chief agitators of the Revolution, and after it began, among the most successful in keeping revolutionary ardor alive, both from the pulpit and on the battlefield.
Today's Pulpit, however, has forgotten its legacy and largely abandoned the inconvenient truths of Scripture that engender the fear of God and behavior that is conducive to Liberty, opting instead for market-driven "messaging" that scratches itching ears, and anesthetizes consciences. Much of that which passes for Bible-based preaching today is devoid of power to convince hearts of sin and restore broken lives. In the quest for a more palatable way to maintain attendance and charitable revenue, American pulpits are unwittingly "hewing out cisterns" (Jeremiah 2:13) that cannot retain an enduring move of the Holy Spirit, and produce washed-out salt in the pew, that Jesus warned would be "good for nothing" but road salt, to be "tossed out and trodden underfoot of men."
God's people need to learn what it means to be "the salt of the earth." (Matthew 5:13) When Jesus spoke of salt losing its saltiness, He was not referring to the reticence of some to preach the gospel, or the flavor-enhancing qualities of table salt. He was talking about the vital curative and preservative characteristics of salt and His intent that it infuse the warp and woof of its temporal sojourn, including, but not limited to civil government.

We present a fiber-optic probe for Fourier-domain angle-resolved low coherence interferometry for the determination of depth-resolved scatterer size. The probe employs a scanning single-mode fiber to collect the angular scattering distribution of the sample, which is analyzed using the Mie theory to obtain the average size of the scatterers. Depth sectioning is achieved with low coherence Mach–Zehnder interferometry. In the sample arm of the interferometer, a fixed fiber illuminates the sample through an imaging lens and a collection fiber samples the backscattered angular distribution by scanning across the Fourier plane image of the sample. We characterize the optical performance of the probe and demonstrate the ability to execute depth-resolved sizing with subwavelength accuracy by using a double-layer phantom containing two sizes of polystyrene microspheres.

PRZOOM - /newswire/ - Cupertino, CA, United States, 2013/02/12 - ForeScout Technologies, Inc. and MobileIron announced that they are partnering to deliver a complete multi-layered security system for Enterprise BYOD - MobileIron.com / ForeScout.com.
ForeScout Technologies, Inc., a leading provider of real-time network security solutions for Global 1000 enterprises and government organizations, and MobileIron, the leader in security and management for mobile apps, documents and devices, today announced that they are partnering to deliver a complete multi-layered security system for Enterprise BYOD. The integration of the MobileIron platform with ForeScout CounterACT gives customers unified visibility and comprehensive control across mobile devices, users, applications, data and network attributes. As Gartner stated in its 2012 Magic Quadrant for Network Access Control (NAC), 1 We expect market growth of approximately 63% in 2013, with approximate revenue of $390 million as businesses are spending on MDM and NAC as the primary means for meeting demand for use of personally owned smartphones and tablets, while containing risk. Even where BYOD is not allowed, IT organizations are being forced to deploy and support a diverse array of mobile devices, with varying degrees of management control/visibility and policy enforcement. NACs ability to detect what type of device is connecting to the network and apply limited access capability when required is a core component of limiting risk, while meeting the demand for any device I want to use. The combination of ForeScout CounterACT and MobileIron gives enterprises: Security automation to dynamically detect unmanaged devices, such as iPads, iPhones and Android devices, attempting to connect to the corporate network in real-time; The means to automate a variety of network and device-based controls such as allow, block/quarantine, limit, enroll as guest, segregate and initiate device compliance inspection; Seamless on-boarding workflow of MobileIrons MDM agent on unmanaged devices through a simple self-enrollment process; Detection of jail-broken and rooted devices and the ability to block or limit network access until remediated; Real-time mobile device compliance re-assessment whenever a mobile device tries to connect to an enterprise WiFi network; Over-the-air device configuration and corporate app catalog management to instantly provision access to corporate email, WiFi, VPN and enterprise recommended and required applications; Enforcement of passcode policies and strong encryption keys to protect sensitive data on mobile devices; Mobile application blacklisting, minimum OS level verification and device feature restrictions; The ability to remotely locate, lock and fully or selectively wipe lost or stolen devices; Powerful compliance rules engine, enforced upon admission to the corporate network and continuously while connected, tested at the device and network level, with automated remediation; Unified visibility, control and compliance reporting for all mobile endpoint devices including PCs, smartphones, tablets and laptops through the ForeScout CounterACT platform. The BYOD phenomenon is delivering strong growth for companies like ForeScout and MobileIron. Thus, its not surprising that our joint customers are asking for the integration of mobile device management and network access control as an essential part of a comprehensive BYOD security strategy that enables productivity while ensuring compliance and the protection of sensitive information, stated Gord Boyce, CEO of ForeScout. Enterprises are becoming mobile first organizations as they move beyond device security and focus on enabling employee productivity with mobile technology, said Bob Tinker, CEO, MobileIron. Two things have to happen to make this possible. First, employee access to corporate resources has to be easy and seamless. Second, security needs to be enterprise-grade but it cant impede the employees productivity. Our partnership with ForeScout gives customers end-to-end mobility management and security across applications, data, networks and devices so they can use mobile to transform their businesses. The integration between ForeScout CounterACT and MobileIron is provided through ForeScout Mobile, which is an add-on module to ForeScout CounterACT, the companys award-winning network access control (NAC) platform. The ForeScout Mobile Integration Module for MobileIron is available from ForeScout and its authorized partners. By providing a range of mobile security solutions and MobileIron interoperability, ForeScout allows IT organizations to phase-in BYOD and right-size their mobile security investments for different classes of users, devices and applications. The price of the ForeScout Mobile Integration Module starts at about $28 per device, with volume discounts available. The integration will be available in March.* 1Gartner, Inc. Magic Quadrant for Network Access Control, report G00238941, December 3, 2012, Lawrence Orans, John Pescatore. About MobileIron The leader in security and management for mobile apps, documents, and devices, MobileIrons mission is to enable global companies to become Mobile First organizations, embracing mobility as their primary IT platform in order to transform their businesses and increase their competitiveness.

According to a Bloomberg report, Verizon Communications, which previously agreed to pay $4.8 billion for the tech giant, has now renegotiated the price as a result of the highly publicized hacks that rocked Yahoo late a year ago.
Verizon will savagely slash its acquisition offer for hacker-ransacked Yahoo! by, wait a minute, just 5.2 per cent, it is claimed. Even the higher estimates-Reuters reported the figure could be as much as $350 million-are pretty paltry.
Verizon is reportedly close to cutting the price of its deal to buy Yahoo, signaling that they could complete the acquisition soon.
Netflix cheating is on the rise globally
So unsurprisingly, 61 percent of the couples cheat on comedy shows - higher than the global average of 44 percent. The biggest culprits were Brazil (57%) and Mexico (58%), while Netherlands was the most loyal with only 27%.
But a series of cyber attacks that compromised more than a billion user accounts has led Verizon to reconsider how much it's willing to pay for the Sunnyvale, California, company's core Internet assets, including its search and e-mail features. Verizon bought AOL for $4.4 billion in 2015. However, Yahoo has lagged Alibaba's performance over most of the past year as its transaction with Verizon was held up. Verizon shares fell 0.7 percent to $47.96.
The updated Verizon and Yahoo deal will reportedly be discounted by almost $300 million.
Verizon hasn't closed its investigation of the breaches and declined to comment on the reports of a discounted Yahoo deal when reached by CRN. Verizon didn't comment on the report. Yahoo! said on 23 January that, following the leak disclosures, it would now take up to the second quarter for things to be finalised. It was yet another bump in the rocky road for the company, which had failed in yet another turnaround attempt, this time by CEO Marissa Mayer.

Review ordered over Shrewsbury speed bumps on busy road
An urgent review will be carried out on three new speed bumps in Shrewsbury after it was discovered they were higher than agreed.
The issue came to light after Shropshire Council received a number of calls and complaints from drivers about the 'plateaus' – a type of speed bump which aims to reduce the speed of traffic – that were installed on Oteley Road last week.
After a crunch meeting on Monday, the developers and their contractors have agreed to look into the issue immediately with a view to lowering the bumps and making them more acceptable to the council and road users.
In the meantime, an advisory 20mph speed limit has been put in place to encourage drivers to slow down when approaching them.
Simon Jones, Shropshire Council's cabinet member for highways and transport, said he shared the frustration drivers have over the bumps.
He said: "The work on Oteley Road must meet the required standard and must be suitable for all road users.
"The raised plateaus are much too severe and I share the annoyance and frustration of drivers who have had to drive along Oteley Road over the past few days.
"However, I'm pleased that, following our meeting, the developer is now looking into this issue as a matter of urgency and will rectify things at the earliest opportunity."
The work currently taking place along Oteley Road includes the installation of a new pedestrian crossing point and the raised plateaus.
These works are developer led and are being delivered in association with the proposed Shrewsbury South Sustainable Urban Extension (SUE).
The SUE was identified as a strategic location for development to help to meet the town's future housing and employment needs.
It will include the provision of approximately 900 new homes together with 26 hectares of employment land, a local centre, community facilities and public open space.

Cue the road having to be dug up again because of the incompetence of the contractor!
Why was this not checked by the council they are dangerous and a complete shambles!
Why do they need speed humps there now?
When they do build all the houses might it be better to fence the road and direct pedestrians to a pedestrian controlled crossing. I fully accept that vehicles will exceed 30 MPH on this road and so they should. Why slow them down to ridiculous delays. Manage the pedestrians instead.
Davy C
I've travelled over these a number of times and although slightly high at the moment the road either side hasn't yet been dressed so would have thought an extra thick dressing would sort the problem? In answer to Roger there is a new controlled crossing in place but not yet working waiting for the houses to be built
Davy the point is that this road is one of the major roads in Shrewsbury and to have speed bumps on it is ridiculous. Yet another hair brain scheme thought up by Simon Jones and his boy scouts at Shropshire Council.
The common sense thing to do would of been to just have pelican crossings and no speed bumps like most other places in Shrewsbury with the same type of layout or feature.
jim jams
Is the speed limit still 40MPH. I don't think you are allowed to put speed bumps on a road unless the limit is 30MPH or below...worth checking....I don't suppose the highways department knows the laws, let alone follows them though.
All a wonderful part of the Shrewsbury South Unsustainable Urban Extension.
Expect more nonsense as time goes on.

Is there a council in the country that doesn't want to make life difficult for the motorist, just for the sake of it?

Clarifying is a relatively simple process that takes just a few extra minutes. Essentially, you're removing the water content and white milk solids from the butter. Expect to end up with about 25 percent less butter than you started with. Clarified butter keeps up to 3 months in the fridge. This recipe is part of The New Essentials of French Cooking, a guide to definitive dishes every modern cook should master.

Remove from heat, let cool slightly (don't let butter resolidify), then skim any foam off the top. Line a sieve with cheesecloth or a clean dish towel and place over a heat-safe bowl or container. Leaving the white milk solids at the bottom of the pot, carefully pour or spoon yellow butter fat through the sieve and into the container. Let cool completely before refrigerating for up to 1 month.

Visual Arts: Tattoos On View At Oceanside Museum Of Art
Monday, May 17, 2010
Photo Gallery
Masterworks of Body Art at OMA
Body artists, tattoo fans, inked hipsters and museum patrons gathered at the Oceanside Museum of Art to celebrate the art of the tattoo.
For the second year in a row, the Oceanside Museum of Art brought together the art world and the tattoo world for an evening that included a runway show of men and women with tattoos on their backs, chest, legs, arms (commonly called sleeves), and posteriors (ouch!). The show featured work by some of the leading body artists in Southern California.
I decided to drive up to Oceanside on Saturday night to photograph the Masterworks of Body Art exhibit. I wasn't the only one. It was standing room only in the upstairs gallery during the runway show, and every time I turned around, cell phones were held in the air as attendees snapped photos.
Well-heeled patrons happily mingled with a large shirtless contingent, who generously kept their body art on display for up-close viewing.
The whole evening was curated by Chris Winn, owner of WinnTattoos, and apparently known for his traditional and Japanese inspired designs.
I don't have a tattoo for many reasons, not the least of which is my fear of needles. Imagine how I cringed at the demonstration of a traditional "tatau" procedure using Polynesian hand tools instead of a tattoo machine. The poor, willing subject was laid out on a raised platform in the corner of the museum lobby. Freewind, a tattoo artist who specializes in this traditional practice, tapped two sticks into a needle that pressed ink into the guy's upper chest to create the design. A woman rubbed the guy's feet throughout the process, in a sweet but probably futile attempt at distraction. See photos of the procedure in the gallery above.

I feel like I just hit the jackpot.
I've been bemoaning the lack of support for Nikon NEF 64 bit support for as long as I can remember inside Windows Explorer. And I've been wishing for RAW support for NEF inside Media Center forever.
I'm happy to say that there is a really nice solution.
The free image codec pack at http://www.fastpictureviewer.com/codecs/ had all the answers and gave me the brass ring.
Here's a snippet from their web site on what is supported:
Raw Image Formats |
Extension(s) | Name | Autorotate | Metadata | Remarks |
*.dng | Adobe Digital Negative | Y | Y | |
*.cr2, *.crw | Canon Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.raf | Fuji Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.3pr, *.fff | Hasselblad Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.dcr, *.kdc | Kodak Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.raw, *.rwl | Leica Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.mrw | Minolta Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.nef, *.nrw | Nikon Raw Image | Y | Y | Can be configured to skip raw conversion and always use embedded previews. |
*.orf | Olympus Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.rw2 | Panasonic Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.pef | Pentax Raw Image | Y | Y | |
*.arw, *.sr2, *.srf | Sony Raw Image | Y | Y | |
Additional Features |
Extension(s) | Name | Remarks | ||
All formats | WIC Thumbnail provider for XP | Provides support for thumbnail views in Windows XP Explorer (SP3), for all the above formats and all existing WIC-enabled codecs. | ||
All formats | WIC Import Plug-In for Photoshop | Enables Adobe Photoshop to directly import images from any installed WIC codec. The plug-in is available as a separate download in 32-bit only at this time (so it won't work on Photoshop CS4 64-bit edition for the time being). |
I shoot Nikon RAW NEF. And I have full support now inside Windows 7 RTM. Explorer thumbnails, even inside Windows Media Center. Here's the proof. Worth 3,000 words and a whole lot more.
Thumbnails inside Windows Explorer of my NEF files in Windows 7
Picture Details inside Windows Media Center/Windows 7
A folder filled with NEFs is now viewable inside Windows Media Center
Yes, XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7 all can play with this. I'm excited, are you?

I expect to extend the celebration of the success , (while we continue work on the other amendments in process ) when we convene in Hawaii two weeks from now.
Hope to see you there.

Neonatal Resuscitation Paul Jeremy Eakin ++ Most newly born infants will respond to adequate stimulation and warming. Very few will require advanced life support.Chest compressions are only initiated if there is no pulse or if the heart rate remains <60 beats/min after adequate assisted ventilation for 30 seconds.Only isotonic crystalloid or packed red blood cells should be used for initial volume resuscitation. Albumin-containing solutions are not recommended.The dose of epinephrine for the newly born infant should be 0.1 to 0.3 mL/kg of 1:10 000 solution. Higher doses of epinephrine are not recommended.When meconium-stained amniotic fluid is present, mouth and nasal suctioning after delivery of the head is no longer recommended. Intratracheal suctioning should only be performed if after delivery the infant has absent or depressed respirations, decreased muscle tone, or a heart rate <100 beats/min.Laryngeal mask airways may be considered for assisted ventilation in the hands of experienced providers.The best site to palpate for pulses in the newly born infant is the umbilicus.The umbilical vein is the best site for intravenous access.The ratio of chest compressions to ventilations in the newly born infant should be 3:1, with 90 compressions and 30 ventilations per minute.The recommended technique for chest compression in the newly born infant is the two-thumb-encircling hands technique.Epinephrine is indicated for asystole or a heart rate <60 beats/min after 30 seconds of adequate ventilation and chest compressions. ++ Of the nearly 4 million infants that are born in the United States each year, more than 90% will successfully transition from intrauterine life with little or no intervention. Roughly 10% will require some assistance and 1% will require more extensive resuscitation.1 This is greatly influenced by factors such as prematurity, since premature infants are at a much higher risk for requiring resuscitation. Because of the large number of births, it is inevitable that the emergency medicine practitioner will be faced with a newly born infant in their emergency department and therefore needs to understand neonatal resuscitation. As in any critical situation in medicine, preparation and anticipation play a key role in neonatal resuscitation. This includes equipment (Table 27–1) and personnel to be ready as soon as a newly born infant presents to the emergency department. Current American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines recommend that at least one skilled provider should attend every birth in the delivery room.2 For deliveries in the emergency department, it is preferable that at least three providers who are experienced in neonatal resuscitation should be present.2 ++Table Graphic Jump LocationTable 27-1.
