Vegan February
I randomly decided to do another vegan month for February. I quite enjoyed it last time round, and now feel I have a lot more confidence in cooking in a vegan stylee, and not just falling back on a default option of Linda McCartney sausages and vegetables. This time round, I expanded into exploring some more vegan baking, cooked a lot more Indian food, and other food that just happened not to have dairy as a key ingredient. And I have to say I really enjoyed it again.
So here's my recipe for vegan apricot, pear and almond crumble with custard. In the depths of a gloomy February a hearty hot pudding was an essential, so I was delighted to discover that crumble and custard is very simple to veganise.
These days I usually buy ready-made, fresh custard from the supermarket, but googling revealed that the instant custard powders I remember as a kid were accidentally vegan; consisting of just cornflour, vanilla flavour, and colouring to be mixed with sugar and milk (no eggs involved!). So on this principle, I warmed a pint of almond milk with around 2 tblsp of caster sugar, until it was fully dissolved. I then made a loose paste with around 1.5 tblsp of corn flour and a little more milk, and gradually mixed that into the hot milk. Once the custard had thickened, I added 1 tsp of vanilla extract. You can just adjust the amount of cornflour so your custard is as thick or thin as you prefer. I suspect using soy milk would have resulted in a less nutty taste, but this was still very nice. Alternatively, you could just use Bird's custard powder with your plant-based milk of choice, for a fully traditional yellow custard.
The crumble was made with a fruit base of four sliced Rocha dessert pears, which did not require any advance cooking, and a tin of apricots halves (feel free to use fresh ones in the summer). The crumble topping consisted of 125g plain flour, 75g ground almonds, 75g sugar, 100g sunflower spread, and a handful of flaked almonds. Combine the flour, sugar, ground almonds and spread together and until they form loose crumbs and then stir in the other almonds. Scatter the topping on the fruit, and bake at gas mark five for around 25 minutes or until lightly browned on top, and serve with the hot custard. This should be enough for six people, or several helpings for two across a weekend.

Cache is used to keep the most commonly used sections of RAM in the cache, where it can be accessed quickly. This is necessary because CPU speeds increase much faster than speed of memory access. If we could access RAM at 3 GHz, there wouldn't be any need for cache, because RAM could keep up. Because it can't keep up, we use cache.
What if we wanted more RAM than we had available. For example, we might have 1 M of RAM, what if we wanted 10 M? How could we manage?
One way to extend the amount of memory accessible by a program is to use disk. Thus, we can use 10 Megs of disk space. At any time, only 1 Meg resides in RAM.
In effect, RAM acts like cache for disk.
This idea of extending memory is called virtual memory. It's called "virtual" only because it's not RAM. It doesn't mean it's fake.
The real problem with disk is that it's really, really slow to access. If registers can be accessed in 1 nanosecond, and cache in 5 ns and RAM in about 100 ns, then disk is accessed in fractions of seconds. It can be a million times slower to access disk than a register.
The advantage of disk is it's easy to get lots of disk space for a small cost.
Still, becaues disk is so slow to access, we want to avoid accessing disk unnecessarily.
Initially, virtual memory meant the idea of using disk to extend RAM. Programs wouldn't have to care whether the memory was "real" memory (i.e., RAM) or disk. The operating system and hardware would figure that out.
Later on, virtual memory was used as a means of memory protection. Every program uses a range of addressed called the address space.
The assumption of operating systems developers is that any user program can not be trusted. User programs will try to destroy themselves, other user programs, and the operating system itself. That seems like such a negative view, however, it's how operating systems are designed. It's not necessary that programs have to be deliberately malicious. Programs can be accidentally malicious (modify the data of a pointer pointing to garbage memory).
Virtual memory can help there too. It can help prevent programs from interfering with other programs.
Occasionally, you want programs to cooperate, and share memory. Virtual memory can also help in that respect.
Each process is allocated an address space. This is a set of valid addresses that can be used. This address space can be changed dynamically. For example, the program might request additional memory (from dynamic memory allocation) from the operating system.
If a process tries to access an address that is not part of its address space, an error occurs, and the operating system takes over, usually killing the process (core dumps, etc).
How does virtual memory play a role? As you run a program, it generates addresses. Addresses are generated (for RISC machines) in one of three ways:
Each address generated by a program is considered virtual. It must be translated to a real physical address. Thus, address tranlation is occuring all the time. As you might imagine, this must be handled in hardware, if it's to be done efficiently.
You might think translating each address from virtual to physical is a crazy idea, because of how slow it is. However, you get memory protection from address translation, so it's worth the hardware needed to get memory protection.
There is a corresponding terminology in virtual memory to a cache line. It's called a page.
A page is a sequence of N bytes where N is a power of 2.
These days, page sizes are at least 4K in size and maybe as large as 64 K or more.
Let's assume that we have 1M of RAM. RAM is also called physical memory. We can subdivide the RAM into 4K pages. Thus 1M / 4K = 256 pages. Thus, our RAM has 256 physical pages, weach holding 4K.
Let's assume we have 10 M of disk. Thus, we have 2560 disk pages.
In principle, each program may have up to 4 G of address space. Thus, it can, in principle, access 220 virtual pages. In reality, many of those pages are considered invalid pages.
If this looks a lot like a fully-associative cache, but whose offset is much much larger, it's because that's basically what it is.
We must convert the virtual page number to a physical page number. In our example, the virtual page consists of 20 bits. A page table is a data structure which consists of 220 page table entries (PTEs). Think of the page table as an array of page table entries, indexed by the virtual page number.
The page table's index starts at 0, and ends at 220 - 1.
Here's how it looks:
Suppose your program generates a virtual address. You'd extract bits B31-12 to get the virtual page number. Use that as an index into the above page table to access the page table entry (PTE).
Each PTE consists of a valid bit and a 20 bit physical page (it's 20 bits, because we assume we have 1M of RAM, and 1M of RAM requires 20 bits to access each byte). If the valid bit is 1, then the virtual page is in RAM, and you can get the physical page from the PTE. This is called a page hit, and is basically the same as a cache hit.
If the valid bit is 0, the page is not in RAM, and the 20 bit physical page is meaningless. This means, we must get the disk page corresponding to the virtual page from disk and place it into a page in RAM. This is called a page fault.
Because disk access is slow, slow, slow, we want to minimize the number of page faults.
In general, this is done by making RAM fully associative. That is, any disk page can go into any RAM page (disk, RAM, and virtual pages all have the same size).
In practice, some pages in RAM are reserved for the operating system to make the OS run efficiently.
Then, you'd see if the virtual page had a corresponding physical page in RAM using the page table. If the valid bit of the PTE is 1, then you'd translate the virtual page to a physical page, and append the page offset. That would give you a physical address in RAM.
What's worse, the page tables we've been talking about are incomplete. If we have a page fault, we need to find the page on disk. Where is it located? That information is kept in another page table, which is indexed by the virtual page (same as the page table we talked about), and tells you where on disk to find it. Then, we have to copy that page to RAM, and update the first page table. Thus, we need two page table tables!
These page tables are basically just data. Thus, they occupy memory as any data occupies memory. When we switch from one process to another, we need to load its page table in RAM for easy access. It's useful to keep it located in certain parts of RAM for just such a purpose. If RAM is suitable large, we can have several processes' page tables in RAM at the same time.
A page table register can hold the physical address of the page table that's currently active to get quick access. Still, these are large, and we may want to find ways to speed things up.
Another idea is to use a kind of closed hash table. The hash table's size is based on the number of physical pages. The number of physical pages is usually a lot smaller than the number of all virtual pages put together.
A hash function takes a virtual page number as input, and produces an index into the hash table as the result. Each entry of the hash table consists of a virtual page number and a physical page number. You check to see if the virtual page number matched, and if so, then you use the physical page.
If it missed, then you must resolve the collision based on the hash table. In practice, you may need the number of entries of the hash table to be a few times larger than the number of physical pages, to avoid excessive collisions.
An inverted page table takes longer to access because you may have collisions, but it takes up a lot less memory. It helps with page hits. However, if you have a page fault, you still need a page table that maps virtual pages to disk pages, and that will be large.
The idea of a TLB is to create a special cache for translations. Here's one example of a TLB.
Each row in the TLB is like one slot of a cache. Assume we have 64 rows. When you have a virtual address, you can split it into a virtual page and an offset.
In parallel, compare the virtual page to all of the entries of the TLB (say, 64). There should be, at most, one match. Just like a fully associative cache, you want to check if the TLB entry is valid.
If a TLB hit occurs, replace the virtual page with a physical page to create a physical address.
If there's a TLB miss, then it's still possible that the virtual page resides in RAM. You must now look up the PTE (page table entry) to see if this is the case. If the PTE says the virtual page is in RAM, then you can update the TLB, so that it has a correct virtual to physical page translation.
The TLB is designed to only store a limited subset of virtual to physical page translation. It is really just a cache for the page table, storing only the most frequently used translations.
The TLB can be kept small enough that it can be fully associative. However, some CPU designers make larger TLBs that are direct mapped or set associative.
They insist on using those numbers. Another customer comes in, and insists on using those numbers too. How can you accomodate both customers?
Basically, you cheat. You tell the first customer you have boxes 100, 101, and 102, but you assign him boxes 200, 201, and 202. Similarly, you tell the second customer that you also have boxes 100, 101, and 102, but you assign her boxes 320, 321, and 322.
Whenever customer 1 wants the mail in box 100, you translate it to box 200. Whenever customer 2 wants mail in box 100, you translate it to box 320. Thus, your two customers get to use the box numbers they want, and through the magic of translation, they two customers avoid using each other's boxes.
If the post office wanted to reserve its own boxes for its own use, it could reserve boxes 1 through 100 to itself, and never assign those boxes, directly or indirectly to a customer. Even if a customer wants box 50, they can be assigned box 150, safely outside the range of boxes reserved for the post office.
This same analogy applies to real programs. Each program can assume it uses the same set of 32 bit virtual addresses. We just make sure that those virtual pages do not map to the same disk page, nor to the same physical page.
Who's job is it to assign the pages? It's the operating system. When a program starts up, it will want a certain range of addresses. The operating system creates a page table for the program, making sure the disk pages it uses do not conflict with the disk pages of other programs.
However, because disk access is slower, it makes sense to use dirty bits for pages. Thus, if a page hasn't been modified (maybe because it's read only), there's no reason to copy it back to disk. Just toss it out.
This is good because at one point, programmers had to worry very much about whether a chunk of memory resided on the disk or in RAM. Programmers had to spend a great deal of effort managing this, and it distracted them from coding. With virtual memory, the management of disk as an extension of RAM is handled automatically.
There may be issues of synchronization to handle, but that's a topic that's best left to a course in operating systems. Suffice it to say that we do have a way to map virtual pages to the same disk page to allow for sharing.
Sharing is available when you want two processes to collaborate in a somewhat safe manner. Both processes, for the most part, have their own memory. They only share a small region between the two of them.
The two are somewhat orthogonal (independent) of each other. For example, we could use the disk as an extension of the address space accessible to the programmer, without providing memory protection. Thus, a programmer might be able to access all disk pages, if the operating system allowed it when setting up page tables.
It's also possible to have memory protection without any disks. Provided each process only needs a small number of pages, we could allow all of those virtual pages to reside in RAM. For example, suppose each process has only 2 virtual pages. Then, since (in our example) RAM stores 256 pages, we could allow 128 processes to have virtual page 0 and 1, and they would not interfere with each other in virtual memory.

| Follow-up should occur at more than one stage of the job search. Our feature article and special feature focus on AFTER the interview but here's a tip for following up an e-mailed resume submission to a company's Web site. In their syndicated column Kate Wendleton and Dale Dauten advise mailing a hard-copy version of your resume and cover letter as a follow up to an online submission through the employer's site.
"As it nears the time to actually make the decision about whom to interview" Dauten writes "paper has the advantages: Managers can easily take a stack of resumes to lunch or on a bus; they can circle items of interest or make notes right on the resume; the person leading the hiring can sit with colleagues and look together at the candidates' qualifications; and finally many hiring managers will use resumes in interviews." Dauten adds that mailing a paper version ensures that the resume will arrive looking the way you intended "while having both versions circulating can only improve your chances of your resume ending up in front of the right pair of eyes."
Another follow-up tip from the Kate & Dale files: Responding to a reader who received a rejection letter after an interview but then saw the same job advertised again Dauten and Wendleton suggested the reader again contact the employer. The jobseeker Dauten notes could say something like this: "I saw your ad and I still think I could make a contribution in that position. I guess I failed to make that clear when we spoke before. I'd like to start over and apply again."
Wendleton adds that if the response is positive you should ask probing questions to get at exactly what type of person the company wants to hire. That way you can plan an approach to a second-chance interview that targets what the employer wants.
Most Fortune 1000 companies allow telecommuting but very few employees work from home and even fewer do so on a full-time basis.
Cutter Consortium reports that 87 percent of the companies it surveyed allowed telecommuting but 53 percent said fewer than 5 percent of their employees worked from home. None of the respondents said that more than half of their employees worked from home.
Two thirds of those polled also sai that their telecommuting employees only work from home for one day each week. Cutter says that most employees telecommute only if hey cannot travel to work because of bad weather or a personal or family emergency.
The respondents said the biggest advantages of telecommuting were that workers had more flexibility companies could hire workers h t might not otherwise be available and that less time and money is spent on commuting.
The biggest disadvantages cited were the belief of managers that workers need supervision security concerns and the conflicts that can arise between an employee's work and home life.

Yesterday, D'banj, revealed that he only met the producer of his new single, 'Emergency' for the first time yesterday.
The said producer, P Loops, has spoken to Pulse.ng alleging that the koko master never paid nor gave him credit for the beat.
According to P Loops:
I was in shock when I heard the next morning that the song was out. I didn't record with D'banj, I think Olu sent the beat to him, and he recorded. There was no credit at all, no credit on the promo copy, there was no credit online, no credit whatsoever.
I did try to talk to them, I talked to Olu Maintain in my office. My trademark was removed. The original beat had my trademark. I talked to them about it, and we were going to have a brief meeting about it, but till now, there has been no credit.
D'banj is yet to respond to this new allegation.

Dbang is a wack artiste even ur fans knws dat.
To be honest, bangalee didn't say he paid for d beat,infact he acknowledged d fact that he met the guy for the very first time yesterday.. This isn't a 'call-out'.. It is just an affirmation of an already known/heard statement.. Y'all need to take a chill pill..
Ure a wack critic..but wait! Oh nobody knw.. Pele
Song Wey no make sense na hin Una dey over hype…mcheeeew!!
D'bang yhu don pass dah level na try pay for dey beat jewe buh dey song dope buh e no hit… @iam MR_Successful and i believe in destiny
that's what I've always been saying..most of this artiste are just greedy..why will u remove a producer trade markon his beat.meanwhile u like the beat and jump on it.lets learn to be giving credit.is not even abt the money.iis abt the credit..it doesn't take Dbanj anytin to shout to the guy on the track and leave his trade mark on it as well.is a promo for the poor boy.thats how the game goes.we all know most celebrity artiste don't pay upcoming producers for beats.but give em the credit cos that will make them have respect and earn from upcoming artiste mostly the wack ones..
I know d Banj can't do dat but still I can never trust human being if 2baba can still music from blace Naija not even once still went again for d second time dat is greedyness all d same according to what I red here I ll judge : somebody might brought d bit to d koko master and koko master would have paid to dd wrong person, come to think of it hw did he get d beat dat means somebody gave him. He must have rewarded d person who linked d beat…..
Pls Nigerians appreciate ur own, d banj try for that song
all I know is that if you're not paid for your beat is your fault and don't blame anyone, or you're just saying this to gain fame but remember what ever you say about who is bigger than you to bring him or her down must bounce back to you because according to my bible no sin goes unpunished, you or him will be punish for your selfishness I rest my case………………I STILL REMAIN ONE AND THE ONLY §ENIORITY
dear tooxclusive this same producer came to my hotel room and stole my two laptop and my iphone 6….he said that his name is p-loops…

- Hybrid's group boss variants have the color schemes of Riot (Bruiser), Agony (Infiltrator), Phage (Scrapper), Lasher (Tactician), and Hybrid's normal color (Blaster).
- Hybrid is the first Group Boss to be recruitable through Lockboxes.
- Hybrid is the first hero recruitable through lockboxes to have alternate costumes (unless one counts Loki, who's hero costume is different from his boss costume) and to have released more than two alternate uniforms at the same time.
- Hybrid's ability names (except Backstab) are based on symbiotes that integrate him.
- Hybrid currently has the highest amount of Character restricted E-iso's and A-iso's.

We've just started Round Two of the DFID blog coaching programme and we'll be seeing posts from some new far-flung places as the additional group of bloggers come online. As Simon Dickson, who developed the DFID blog site, has pointed out the DFID blogs have more subscribers to RSS Feeds than the main DFID site and more than the FCO bloggers. It's an indication that the project is working.
The idea of providing coaching does seem to be gaining traction amongst local authorities. We're putting together two proposals for community engagement sites this week and both have asked for coaching.
There is more information on this site about the coaching programme we offer. Use the menu link or the rather large button on the right.

Scrapping Old Ideals
Looking at Jean Villamizars paintings, one senses a riff on a popular theme: the rejection of chauvinist imposed notions of feminine beauty by a woman who is comfortable in her own skin. It is also clear the artist has tired of jingle-brained pitchmen who use female imagery to sell everything under the sun, and she is whacking them where it hurts. I try to focus on the issue of media driven self-image women have to live with constantly, and to challenge viewers to think about what is beautiful and why, Villamizar explains. Goddess Lost, opening tonight at 7:30 at the Miami Beach Cinematheque, marks her first solo show and includes fifteen collage-and-acrylic-on-canvas paintings that celebrate Womens History Month. Villamizar makes a provocative statement with her shredded images of supermodels over which she has painted abstracted facial features of other femmes she considers strong and interesting. I want every woman to feel perfect, to realize Im good the way I am, the plucky artist adds. Call 305-673-4567, or visit www.mbcinema.com.

Croissant de Triomphe
Thursday, October 17, 2013
The weather has been so beautiful this week which usually energizes me, but for some reason I have been so tired! I think maybe the last few weeks have just caught up with me and so I have been using the little energy I have to be out in the sunshine. With that said today I am going to break away from the norm and leave you with this little video I saw while I was left alone to clean the living room (my children scattered when I said "we" were going to clean up. go figure). I kept meaning to turn the tv off and switch it out for some wait, wait don't tell me, but I never got around to it and after I saw this I was glad. I am not a huge mickey mouse fan myself (or I haven't been for the lat couple decades), but this adorable video reminded me of the good old days of Saturday morning cartoons, but better because it's not terribly derogatory and racist. J'adore! And if you are in the mood for another video, this made me giggle.

Oh, mon dieu! Cette video faisait mon coeur dire "SWOON!"Et j'ai compris tous! Merci, twinsy. Mon journee est plus bonne maintenant!ReplyDelete
(Also, I didn't think it was derogatory or racist at all! Plus the French aren't a race, so it can't be, right? It was delightfully stereotypical, but accurate and fun! I love that he went from Notre Dame to le Moulin Rouge in seconds, haha. LOVED this!) xoReplies
i figured you would love this. no, i don't think it was derogatory or racist at all either. i think it's adorable (the police were my favorite with the tiny car under his hat). i just meant when cartoons used to show other cultures and races it was very much both those things. maybe i need to delete the "so" in that sentence ; )Delete
Ohhh, got it! Yeah, we only have to look at Tiger Lily/the Indians in Peter Pan. Which is a movie I adored as a child, and still do, but am going to have to put a disclaimer in front of when I show it to my own kid one day. xoDelete
Cartoons are so different now- and it seems like now cartoons are so intense! Nora and I watched Alice and Wonderland the other day- the old cartoon version and she loved the songs and was dancing around. :)ReplyDelete
Oh I'm so utterly tired as well Christine - I know where you're coming from. Grab a cup of tea and a good book and relax!ReplyDelete
I somehow missed this yesterday... maybe I popped on too soon, but what a fun way to wake up this morning. Saturday morning cartoons. Those were the days. XOReplyDelete
This is so cool, modern cartoons seem so strange to me. I'll watch cartoons with my nephew and it is such a bizarre experience, like I can barely understand what is happening.ReplyDelete

There is Allan Harris the romantic troubadour, serving up platters of Billy Strayhorn, Ellington and Nat King Cole tunes with his distinctly Cole-esque baritone. There is also Harris the singer-storyteller, two volumes 2006's Cross That River and its 2009 companion Cry of the Thunderbird into his vibrant saga of unsung black cowboys, their trials and triumphs. Not until now, however, as his recording career enters its third decade, has an entire album been devoted to a meeting of Harris the romantic and Harris the songwriter.
The inescapable Cole-ness that defined so much of his earlier work has all but disappeared. (Intriguingly, it only surfaces on the album's sole cover, a gently funkified "Fly Me to the Moon," suggesting that original material unleashes a more original Harris.) Instead, he eases into a smooth R&B groove more evocative of Teddy Pendergrass and Luther Vandross. The material, though consistently charming, is occasionally derivative. "Color of a Woman" suggests a mellower take on Sinatra's mid-'60s quasi-hit "Tell Her (You Love Her Each Day)," the sparkling "Hold Me" sounds as if it was plucked from the Stylistics' '70s songbook, and "There She Goes" echoes countless other if-only-she'd-notice-me laments. But when Harris examines more distinctive sentiments, such as the swirling, mysteriously exotic "Shores of Istanbul" or the sinister, duplicitous "Inner Fear," the results are impressively fresh and invigorating. ~ Christopher Loudon

Felix Wong in Del Norte
Submitted by sherry on July 2, 2008 – 3:46pm
Racer update about: Felix Wong
Hi, this is Felix Wong calling at 12:45 on Wednesday, July 2nd, from Del Norte, CO. Yesterday, I had a great day. My legs were feeling good. I rode about 113 miles. I even enjoyed going up Marshall Pass and Cochetopa Pass. Nice gradual climbs with great scenery.
In the evening, I ended camping half-way up the Pass after Cochetopa Pass.
From the Notebook
- Marshall pass: 4 hours, 25 miles, 4000 ft of climbing. Gradual, beautiful.
- At top, met a guy named Clif who was hiking form Denver to Durango.
- Long downhill.
- Met a cyclist in Sargent: on a Moots mountain bike. He rode 100 miles?
- Cochetopa Pass: gradual; I felt strong.
- Camped halfway up Camero Pass in a primitive campsite.

Chillin and some gossip
Anyway, a piece of gossip via Facebook: it might, just might be possible that the Rock and Roll Palace, Quarters, might once again be a Gold Mine of Rock. You may remember the past few years it morphed into a hip-hop joint, and then there was a shooting last summer which pretty much killed their live music license (not to mention suspendin gtheir liquor license). And I'd even noticed that as a hip-hop joint, the place got some class to it. They'd cleaned up the disgusting bathroom, they actually washed out the beer lines, they spruced up the furniture.... and then violence closed it down.
Now this all may be just a rumor, and remember, we called it The Rock Palace to be smugly ironic.... but still.... it would be nice to have the Gold Mine back.
Americana sightings before the storm
Mr.E Lee thanking the audience
Originally uploaded by V'ron
Opening the show was a set from the Pills, a 4-piece, straight up oldschool rocking bar band fronted by a pair of matching black epiphones. I liked them; good bluesy rock songs, a singer with a perfect bluesy but not quite gravely wail. My only complaint is that they could use some more dynamics -- both in volume and harmonics. But they were a good opening for the Chop Tops.
Big Dave Thomas sighting at the Circle A
Originally uploaded by V'ron.
Actually, the warmup for this night came a week earlier: I'd stopped into the Circle Acafe to get in a set from favorites Floor Model, but alas, I was too late. Didn't know there were two bands on the bill, and was really disappointed to learn that I'd missed the band I came to see but I quickly got over my disappointment when I saw Big Dave Thomas strapping on his guitar. Dave Thomas is back! And I obviously wasn't the only one happy to hear his sweet country voice backed by folks like Jeff Lauwasser and friends. The outfit is called the Jackpine Gypsies and they have a mix of originals and country and alt-country standards. They lightened up the mood for me and reminded me of the impending Chop Top show. All this Americana goodness was enough to get me through the storm this past week.

So when once dismissed, after not visited for at least 5 days, will the notice appear again? Or once dismissed, it will never be shown until the user himself restores it? 2) I couldn't find a way to make notices recurring, like recurring every 7 days. Am I missing here something? Only reoccuring option is to reoccur every day but not chosen days or weekly, right?

This is a first I think – a call for giving on 2020 Science. But the circumstances are both important and special.
The School for the Future of Innovation in Society aa Arizona State University (ASU) has created a new fund to support refugees whose undergraduate or graduate education has been disrupted because of their circumstances.
The Refugee Education Fund will be used to to finance a student (more than one if giving is generous) from somewhere in the world–it could be anywhere–complete her or his degree.
The money is intended to provide all needed financing (tuition, fees, and living costs) for one or more refugee students to finish that degree at ASU, and it could be in any degree program, so long as ASU offers it and the student qualifies, undergraduate or graduate.
100% of the funds raised will go toward supporting students.
You can give here (and please give generously: ASU Refugee Education Fund.
For more information on the fund, please see the Facebook post here.
This opportunity is especially important to me, having become a US citizen in 2015, and having moved in part to ASU because of the social ethos of the institution.
The fund addresses a very real need as the world faces an increasing refugee crisis, and makes a strong statement that, despite some recent rhetoric, there is still a generosity of heart in the US for displaced persons anywhere in the world.
From the Facebook post:
As we saw in the case of the tragedy in Syria, refugee crises are devastating to the lives of the individuals affected, but they also impact people of other nations. Indeed, when some members of the human family are disconnected from their lives, we all suffer. For most of us, we feel at a loss for what to do, how to help. It was in this context that the idea for a Refugee Education Fund was created. While we may not be able to resolve the entire global catastrophe, we can "save", in a very real sense, one or more individuals, just by doing what we do. We, at ASU, provide higher education to people the world over. Some refugees across the world are students who have been uprooted by war, environmental catastrophe, political oppression, or all of the above, Some will never get a chance to return to their home universities and complete their degrees–unless we help. And we can help–just by doing what we do.
Please give generously, and spread the word.
Thank you.

. . . when it comes to much of what we're reading about the Confederate flag and Confederate monuments.
Where does one even start when it comes to the tidal wave of lies, deceit, half-truths and agenda-driven, sociologists posing as historians who continue to agitate, divide and twist the views of others so as to support their true position: self-righteous moral critic and reformer? The ongoing, Orwellian-like nonsense you can read on a number of blogs and websites is the same, tired old arguments (now on steroids) repeated over and over and over again.
I used to believe that these bloggers and historians were simply misguided and misinformed - useful idiots, if you please (many of them anyway). But that is no longer the case. They may be "misguided" in a broader sense, and they may be idiots in a real sense, but when it comes to what they're writing about history - especially in regards to the current debate - they are intentionally lying and deceiving to advance their own ideology. It's sickening.
I've already drafted a lengthy post about this whole ongoing debate regarding the CBF and Confederate monuments, but haven't finalized it yet. Every day brings the need to add yet more. But until I do post my comments and thoughts, here are some suggestions refuting many of the misguided arguments presented by others and bringing thoughtful, reasonable, honest, common sense conversation to this whole issue.
Confederate-inspired military service?
Tolerance includes putting up with things you find disagreeable.
Legacy of the Confederacy on military service.
Confederate Culture Wars at the National Cathedral.
Obviously, there is a HUGE gap of understanding between the perspectives represented by the discussions at these links and the ones represented by the "reformer" blogs and websites. I don't thing that gap can be closed. As a matter of fact, I don't think the moral reformers want to close the gap. Agitating and activism is what they're really all about.

Last Month at the Federal Circuit - April 2001
Judges: Bryson (author), Plager, and Dyk (concurring)
In SciMed Life Systems, Inc. v. Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc., No. 99-1499 (Fed. Cir. Mar. 14, 2001), the Federal Circuit affirmed a district court's claim construction and grant of SJ of noninfringement based on disclosure in the specifications of the patents at issue disclaiming embodiments like those now accused of infringing.
SciMed Life Systems, Inc. ("SciMed") owns three U.S. patents drawn to features of balloon dilatation catheters. SciMed filed suit against Advanced Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. ("ACS") in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, charging ACS with infringing each of the three patents. On ACS's motion for SJ, the district court ruled that ACS had not infringed the disputed patents.
SciMed argued on appeal that the district court had improperly read an element (coaxial lumens) from the written description into the claims, where the claims themselves contained no such limitation. The Federal Circuit disagreed. The Court found that at various points in the common specification(including in the abstracts) of the three patents, the disclosed invention uses coaxial rather than side-byside lumens, i.e., the guide wire lumen is contained within the inflation lumen and the inflation lumen is annular. According to the Court, when read together, the common portions of the specification lead to the inescapable conclusion that the references in the asserted claims to an inflation lumen "separate from" the guide wire lumen must be understood as referring to coaxial lumens and, thus, that the asserted claims read only on catheters having coaxial lumens.
The Court explained that one purpose for examining the specification is to determine if the patentee has limited the scope of the claims. Where the specification makes clear that the invention does not include a particular feature, that feature is deemed to be outside the reach of the claims of the patent, even though the language of the claims, read without reference to the specification, might be considered broad enough to encompass the feature in question. Moreover, when the preferred embodiment is described as the invention itself, the patent claims are not entitled to a broader scope than that embodiment. Because ACS's device utilized a dual-lumen configuration, the Court affirmed SJ of no literal infringement.
The Federal Circuit also agreed that infringement could not exist under the DOE because the common specification criticized and distinguished prior art catheters using dual-lumen configurations. Accordingly, SciMed was prohibited from invoking the DOE to embrace a structure that was excluded from the claims.
In a concurring opinion, Judge Dyk explained that while he agreed with the result reached by the majority, he cautioned that the decisions of the Federal Circuit failed to provide adequate guidance as to when it is appropriate to look to the specification to narrow the claim by interpretation and when it is not appropriate to do so.

Build strong single-copy sales
November 4, 2013
By Bob Bobber
Circulation Counts
In writing my columns during the past 10 years, I have gotten the most response concerning the subject of single-copy sales. I have always felt that single copy was the most interesting of the many aspects of circulation management.
You can play the headlines and stories. Monitoring returns and trying to reduce the returns percentage and still sell the same amount of newspapers was almost a game. There have been numerous attempts during the years to write software to control single-copy draws, but there has only been moderate success. I know. I invested about $3,000 in a guy who thought he could write a program way back in 1980. I never saw that money again.
I think that as the new newspaper business model evolves, there is going to be more and more emphasis on single-copy sales. The reason is simple economics. A carrier can deliver more single copy issues in a shorter period of time at either full rate for coin racks or 70 percent to 75 percent of full rate if it is a dealer.
There is no half-price subscription or premium based sales. The split between home delivery carriers and the newspaper has always been pretty much the same as the split between single-copy carriers and the newspaper.
The cost of gasoline is much less because there are fewer stops and generally less mileage. Brakes don't get burned up as quickly, there are a lot fewer driveways to turn around in and there is no cost of delivery bags. All in all, there is generally more money in single copy than home delivery per copy. In addition, our readers are becoming more selective in their reading habits and are getting less likely to subscribe and get tied into a long-term contract. Having said all that, here is another way to utilize single copy. I saw something recently that reminded me of a concept I have been pushing for years—using coin racks as an advertising vehicle. This can be done really in three different manners.
1. The Billboard—Coin racks are generally located in high traffic areas and can make for attractive advertising opportunities for your advertisers. Vicksburg, MS, was doing this years ago. It actually sold ads that were painted or decaled on to the sides of the coin racks. In this particular case, they sold the ads in an expansion area and it helped defray the normal costs and losses of going into a new area. For more information, you may want to contact Becky Chandler.
2. The Retail Ad—This technique uses your rack cardholder as a temporary advertising opportunity that supplements existing retail advertising in your newspaper. One of my favorites was to have a rack card that directed the potential reader to an insert in that day's newspaper. For instance, "Check out today's Publix insert with BOGO ad's." The newspaper can either charge for this or it can be used as a value-added feature to help advertisers or perhaps entice advertisers.
3. The Classified Ad—The Orlando Sentinel is using its coin racks to advertise for its telemarketing and customer service operations. It is a colorful, attractive decal ad that takes up both sides of the coin rack. This technique could also be used to recruit carriers, mailroom personnel, and other hard-to-fill positions.
I am big supporter of trying to maximize the use of coin racks. In the coming years I do think that the use of coin racks and their expense and maintenance is going to come into question. I believe by using these different techniques to maximize the use of these important pawns in the chess match which is circulation growth, you will help extend their life. © Robert Bobber 2013

Ford Panels to Probe Cop Car SafetyJun 25, 2002 | AP
Ford Motor Co. is creating two panels to look into the safety of Ford Crown Victoria police cars as a result of discussions with state officials following an accident that killed a policeman in Arizona earlier this month.
"This sets us on a concrete path to make these cars safer," Arizona Attorney General Janet Napolitano said Tuesday after meeting with Ford executives at the automaker's headquarters here.
She arranged the trip to Dearborn after the June 12 death of Chandler, Ariz., policeman Robert Nielsen, the third Arizona police officer in three years killed in fires resulting from accidents in Crown Victoria cruisers.
The location of the Crown Victoria's gas tank between the rear bumper and axle has been blamed for car fires that have killed at least 11 officers nationwide in the last 20 years.
Sue Cischke, Ford vice president of environment and safety engineering, said the Crown Victoria is not at fault, but the company is not opposed to improving it.
"We're committed to make a safe car safer," Cischke said at the joint news conference.
Napolitano said a technical task force will look at "a host of issues," including testing scenarios, fuel tank bladders and shields. The task force will be comprised of Ford engineers and outside experts from the aerospace industry and competitive racing.
The chair of the technical task force will also head a second panel that will look into possible changes in police procedures and alterations to the vehicle, like lighting or the way police load the trunk.
"I thought we solved this problem with the Pinto," said Joan Claybrook, director of Public Citizen in Washington.
"Ford just ought to recall the cars," she said.
But Napolitano said there was no request made at the meeting for Ford to recall the vehicles.
Ford officials said the deaths are tragic, but the automaker's internal tests indicate the fiery crashes are not the result of problems with the design of the car.
"It's not clear that all of these accidents were even rear-end collisions," Ford spokeswoman Sara Tatchio said. "There doesn't appear to be a common thread to any of them."
David Perry, a Corpus Christi, Texas, lawyer who has litigated five cases against Ford related to the police cars, said the cars should be recalled. Perry says information he uncovered through the discovery process revealed the vehicles repeatedly failed a series of rear end crash tests at 50 miles an hour prior to the 1998 model year by Ford.
"They never could get one to pass. One was certified based on engineering determination," Perry said.
An investigator from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration ( news - web sites) has traveled to Phoenix at the request of Gov. Jane Hull to look into the fires.
A federal investigation was launched Nov. 27, 2001, and is ongoing NHTSA spokesman Rae Tyson said.
Included in the investigation along with the Ford Crown Victoria are the Mercury Grand Marquis and Lincoln Town Car, both of which are built on the same basic structure or platform.
This is the second time in recent years that Arizona has been out front in raising automotive safety concerns. The state was among the first to identify problems with Firestone tires that ultimately led to a massive recall in August 2000.
Meanwhile, Mesa, Ariz., officials are trying to replace all the city's gasoline-burning Crown Victorias with ones that run exclusively on compressed natural gas, said Greg Fowler, an assistant police chief.
That would take between two and three years at an estimated cost of about $3 million, he said.
Last week, the Phoenix City Council safety subcommittee voted to freeze the purchase of up to 200 police cars from Ford unless the automaker agrees to install sponge-like bladder gas tanks to reduce the risk of explosion in a crash.
The body also voted to retrofit most of the Phoenix Police Department's 735 Crown Victoria police cruisers with the bladder tanks.
Ford has said the bladders have not been crash tested in production vehicles, but the company is willing to look at the technology.
