News: Mailman web interface temporarily down
[184 news in archive]
Mailman web interface temporarily down
Item posted by Sylvain Beucler <Beuc> on Thu May 5 07:36:50 2005.
To allow the mail server to recover the e-mail backlog (due to the last week-end downtime) asap, the FSF sysadmins decided to turn the HTTP server down, which includes access to the Mailman administration. It was first stated at https://savannah.gnu.org/forum/message.php?msg_id=414
Unfortunately we have not ETA yet - it apparently takes more time than expected.
However, Mailman was designed without HTTP interface in the first place, so you still can administer your mailing lists using the e-mail interface.
A good starting point to learn is http://www.list.org/mailman-member/node10.html. There are also hints in the e-mails Mailman send to the list admins.
Back (posted by Sylvain Beucler, Thu May 5 18:29:18 2005) |
lists.[non]gnu.org is running Apache again :) |
Personal ETA (posted by Sylvain Beucler, Thu May 5 07:45:36 2005) |
It is my guess that the outage shouldn't last more than a few days. The machine load was 14 on monday, it is now 7, things are getting better.
Unfortunately the Savannah hackers do not have full privileges on lists.gnu.org so I cannot be more precise (like studying the number of mails in the backlog) :/ |

If you have any doubt about the color of your 1987 Chevrolet All Models, please note: The color code will be located on a sticker named Parts Identification. The code can start with BC/CC followed by a U, or a WA with a four digit number/letter combination. We use the WA format for simplicity, your code may have a U. WA8555 is the same as U8555. Click here for Chevy paint code location chart and paint code label examples.
Call 1-888-710-5192. We probably have it.
The paint matched perfect on my 30 year old original paint car.
The chips on my original paint, 30 year old car.
Used 12 oz. spray can of basecoat n clear coat I'm painting complete truck in this fashion after I get done body work or new panel like rocker panels n cab corners new fenders etc etc. This paint n clear coat finish makes this truck look like it came off show room floor. Ed
Great match!!! I could not believe how spot on the color match was. I will be using you guys from now on even for my daily driver. Thanks!!!
Looks like a perfect match - Jim S.
I had to repair some damage on the parents 1987 model Monte Carlo, glad to find such a good color -matching paint!easy to use an results, thanks!!!
So far it looks pretty good. It matches the color well.
I finally got to use your automotive touch up paint,it's a perfect match. It is so very easy to use,with good results. I am very satisfied with your product. I would order from you again, if more is ever needed. Thanks!!!.
Very pleased...my hood came out great if you are good at doing things yourself using this paint will save you a lot of money instead of taking it to a shop...I would recommend it to anyone and plan on using it again in the future for other projects.
Color match was perfect.
Aerosol paint color match was right on, aerosol top coat was excellent. As far as the touchup pens , the color match didn't quite match for the base coat, and the top coat pen leaked too much paint when even depressed lightly. Otherwise I was greatly pleased and will use help again. Lou C. P. S. For some reason my paint code was not shown on your list for my make and year: 87 Camaro IROC.
I had my 87 Chevy truck painted a couple of years ago, and it was difficult to find anyone with touch up paint for such an old vehicle. The touch up paint sent was a perfect match...the chips to my paint disappeared and I caught my wife trying to find where they had been several days later. Wonderful! Ken
It is a great product. I purchased the base color and clear in spray cans its the best color match finish I have ever seen; I'm amazed of how professional the results are.
Works for me.
I have been doing my 87 El Camino Body off restoration for 3 years now and it was time for paint. I have used your touchup for my ford show truck and it was great so I decided to use your ready to spray basecoat/clearcoat. The paint turned out fantastic and its been years since I painted a car. The color and metallic were perfect. Thank you for a great product.
Your touch up paint for my "87" Monte Carlo SS Aero Coupe was. "SPOT ON"!!! I even went over a couple of other previously repaired chips with your product, since another companies product had been used and it wasn't even a close match. The ordering process was quick and easy..and my order came in just a few days....I just purchased a new project truck and will Be ordering again soon......Thanks Automotive Touch Up. Michael Hayden
Great color match and easy to use.

The author is a Forbes contributor. The opinions expressed are those of the writer.
Each year on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Americans face a pressing question: have we achieved Dr. King's American Dream? Is our country now a place where we're judged "by the content of [our] character?"
The answer is troubling. While the racism that Dr. King heroically battled has been decreasing since his death in 1968, increasing economic disparity returns us to a similar spot: opportunity is not equal.
The stats are grim. Since the 1970s, the incomes of the bottom 90% have been stagnating while the incomes of the top 1% have soared. In fact, the average pre-tax income for the bottom 90 percent of households is almost $900 below what it was in 1979, and for the top one percent the average pre-tax income is over $700,000 above its 1979 level. (Source: Center on Budget and Policy Priorities)
As Robert H. Frank writes in a recent New York Times article, "As Americans, we once pointed with pride to our country's high level of economic and social mobility, but we've now become one of the world's most rigidly stratified industrial democracies." Moving up the ladder is increasingly not based on character. Those with inside connections derived from class, luck, and family are becoming wealthier and leaving the rest of us behind.
Increasing inequality in America and other Western countries is a hot topic. Anger over the issue fueled Bill De Blasio's recent mayoral victory in New York City, and many predict it will be the focus of President Obama's State of the Union address on Jan. 28.
But this was not always the norm for the U.S. economy. Between 1947 and 1973, economic growth was both rapid and distributed equally across income classes. The poorest 20% of families saw growth at least as fast as the richest 20% of families, and everybody in-between experienced similar rates of income growth. (Source: State of Working America)
What can we do to reverse this trend? Is there a way to level the playing field so that merit (or "character" in Dr. King's terminology) counts more than status?
The internet makes connecting vastly easier than ever before. We use social platforms to meet new friends, find long-lost ones, and keep in touch with far-flung family members. Networking platforms help us find jobs, meet recruiters, and connect with people at companies where we want to work.
And now the labor force of new entrepreneurs, which we call the Gig Economy, is creating global online marketplaces like Fiverr, Etsy, and 99Designs. These platforms provide a direct way not only to find the people who are looking to pay you for your services, but also to be commissioned by them. This means you can quickly and easily forge the deep, career-making connections that the elite are born with.
Maybe even more importantly, these marketplaces are a new type of community. They are places where the person or company that commissions you today may be the one you need to commission tomorrow. Where web designers find copywriters, artists find public relations specialists, editors find translators, and vice versa. There is a mutually beneficial, sharing aspect to these communities.
And that's how they just may provide salvation from our reverse-Robin Hood age. Because that's what connections are, right? They're the bonds between us that are formed when we help each other out.
When we can make those connections in a free marketplace based on our merits, when who you already know or what your status is ceases to matter, that's when each one of us can get our fair slice of the pie. It's an unprecedented opportunity to realize the American Dream, one gig at a time.

If you are in the market to build a new home or a major renovation of an older home, then you may want to find a builder who uses radon resistant building techniques. There are several ways to construct a home to resist the infiltration of radon gas and the EPA has some great information about how to do this and builders who are doing it on this website. Some municipalities are looking to require all new homes to have radon mitigation systems installed in them, which this article talks about from the Missourian. Making sure the air you and your family breath is as safe as possible should be an important decision for you when building a new home and it is more cost effective to do it right then to come back and have to fix the problem later.

text: The "Natural" Label On Your Food Doesn't Mean What You Think It DoesRia Misra6/18/14 11:50amFiled to: Open ChannelFood ScienceFood LabelingFood LabelsNutritional Label263EditPromoteShare to KinjaToggle Conversation toolsGo to permalinkA new survey by Consumer Reports shows that over 59% of Americans are looking for a "natural" label when shopping for their food. The problem? The label doesn't mean much of anything.AdvertisementThe findings were the result of a survey of the food-buying habits of over 1,000 people, the majority of whom said that they looked for the "natural" label when shopping. While some food labels — organic, for instance — have a USDA certification system in place and, crucially, an inspection system in place to ensure that those certification criteria are being met, "natural" has no such set designation. In fact, except for a statement that "natural" poultry and egg products should be minimally processed, the USDA stresses that the definition for natural simply doesn't exist: "There are no standards or regulations for the labeling of natural food products if they do not contain meat or eggs."In the absence of an official definition, though, the consumer reports survey found that, not only were people looking for the label, they had also made up a wide range of things that they thought the label meant, ranging from no antibiotics, growth hormones, or genetic modification to the somewhat confusing designation of "no artificial ingredients". AdvertisementThere's actually some potential good news buried in all of this: People are looking for ways to know more about their food production. The "natural" label, unfortunately, is not something that helps with that.How does food labeling influence your shopping? Tell us in the comments about how you shop for food and what kinds of labeling practices you think would be most helpful.Image: liz west.

58/TwentyFour Full Carbon Clinchers
Better Modulation, Shorter Braking Distances and Increased Heat Tolerance
Rather than using the consistently failing attempts at reducing the temperature produced by braking, Profile Design rejected what has become accepted practice and instead increased the heat capacity of our materials. Their proprietary high Tg point resin is 30% higher than other "high" Tg resins. A rim that can withstand more heat leads to improved braking performance by allowing consistent heat built up rather than attempting to reduce heat which often decreases braking power.
Specially Formulated Brake Compund
Reduces braking distance by 28% compared to Altair models
Specifically formulated to withstand the same heat their rims could take on, the brake pad compound is specifically formulated for TwentyFour Series wheelsets. Using a specially formulated rubber compound, durometer and friction agent, Profile Design developed a proprietary brake pad resulting in more consistent braking power and reduced braking distances over that of other carbon fiber wheelsets.
Maintaining Material Integrity from the Outset
Immediately after fusing the resin and carbon, the pre-preg carbon is frozen to maintain integrity. Each roll is sealed, documented, and placed into a temperature and humidity controlled refrigerator with data tracking that ensures accurate a "first-in/first-out" lean manufacturing processes.
Increased Compaction and Precise Construction
Profile Design didn't just take the traditional route and adopt manufacturing procedures available to just anyone; they developed their own. The result? An auto-wrapping procedure no one else in the industry uses, resulting in fewer voids and fewer inconsistencies in the most important areas - the bead, tire bed and brake track.
Lay-Up Process
Stiffer, Stronger and More Impact Resistant
How do you improve wheel balance? How can you lessen overall weight? These are the critical points Profile Design looked to address when combing through all details of our manufacturing procedures. They developed a lay-up process laying the UD carbon 45° from perpendicular to the brake track, resulting in a composite structure that is stiffer and more impact resistant.
The 58/TwentyFour wheels were designed using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to produce a fast, robust drag profile over all angles of attack.
FASTER Wind Tunnel
Hundreds of hours in the tunnel, 12 rim profile candidates, 500 platform rotations and 21 data points per reading, Profile Design tested using a protocol to pit their wheels against the most challenging environments. They took the top performing profiles, resulting in a 58/TwentyFour wheelset that produced off-the-chart results confirming a robust drag profile even in moderate to significant conditions.
Course Modeling
Wind tunnel tests can tell us how fast wheels are at different angles of attack – but how common are these angles in the courses most important to athletes? Blindly applying tunnel data to the unpredictable force of Mother Nature didn't quite add up to Profile Design. They took tunnel data one step further and broke down historical World Championship data on the Queen K into 1500 segments, mapping wind speeds, angles and race day conditions measuring the performance of their selected rim profiles every 394 feet.

Since its introduction a year ago, the NAHB/First American Improving Markets Index (IMI), which tracks housing markets on the mend, has become a highly regarded housing benchmark.
More important, conditions in the housing market continue to validate the underlying premise behind the IMI: Individual housing markets are showing ongoing, measurable progress on the long road back to normal.
Another benchmark, the NAHB/Wells Fargo Housing Market Index, which measures home builder sentiment about the market, recently reached the highest level in five years. And other major indicators, including new-home starts, sales, and permits are trending upward as well.
There is little doubt that the housing market is at last recovering from the Great Recession.
That said, it's important to note that this upturn is modest at best and that the road to full recovery will be long. And don't expect the recovery to be an uninterrupted upward path. At times, national indicators may stall or fall back before continuing to improve. Likewise, not all communities will share equally in the recovery. We've said it before, and it bears repeating: Every market is different.
I'm often asked what advice I would give to the builders who have made the long journey through the worst conditions since the Great Depression and now are preparing to get back to work.
Generally, I would advise every builder to exercise common sense and follow good basic business practices. Don't just jump back into the market with the expectation that things will be the same as in the past. They won't.
Instead, step back and assess every aspect of the market carefully and objectively, and be sure to look closely at prospective home buyers. They won't be the same as in the past either.
Now is also the time to reconnect with subs and suppliers or to establish new relationships if necessary. A signed contract in-hand means very little if reliable infrastructure isn't in place to get the house built and delivered.
I also would advise NAHB members to "use your dues" and take full advantage of the many excellent products that the NAHB provides exclusively to members.
Just a short list of products that could be useful in positioning a company to re-enter the market includes:
• Regularly scheduled and on-demand webinars on a broad range of subjects—www.NAHB.org/webinars
• Online business management resources covering topics from accounting to strategic planning—www.NAHB.org/BizTools
• Online toolkits focusing on the rebounding housing market—www.NAHB.org/SuccessToolkits
• NAHB classes presented by local and state HBAs
And, of course, don't forget the NAHB's International Builders' Show (IBS), which is truly the crown jewel of the NAHB's offerings. With cutting-edge education programs, acres of product exhibits, and numerous networking opportunities, the IBS is a great resource for anyone, and NAHB members receive a generous registration discount.
Finally, even though it has been a long wait, and builders are eager to get back to work, I would repeat advice that the NAHB has been giving members for decades: Avoid getting overextended.
I know that's easier said than done, but in this new market with its new rules, conservative and caution should be watchwords, not four-letter words.

Steamboat Springs According to the calendar, spring will arrive in late March. According to Mother Nature, Spring won't arrive in Steamboat until weeks, maybe months later. Though it may be too early to play in the dirt outside, it's the right time to prepare your houseplants for the growing season ahead.
With care, a slightly sick-looking plant can be revived. At the first sign of pest or disease, isolate the plant and treat it immediately. If a plant is too "leggy," cut them back to just above a bud node on the main stem. If a plant looks terribly ill, it should be discarded.
Examine the root ball of your plants. If roots are growing out of the drainage hole or the plant has been in the same pot for three or more seasons with roots growing in a circle around the plant, it is root bound and needs to be repotted.
When selecting a new pot, only increase the size by one inch or your plant will spend all its time developing roots at the expense of foliage growth and flowering. Remove as much old soil as possible to not disturb roots and replace with new soil. It does not matter if you use a clay or plastic pot, but it should have a drainage hole in the bottom. Clay pots are porous and will allow air to reach the roots. However, plants will need more frequent watering in clay pots versus plastic pots.
Outside plants benefit from occasional rainfall and frequent winds to keep their foliage free of dust and dirt. Houseplants deserve the same spa treatment. Try putting them in your shower without the saucer and douse them with a gentle spray. If you don't want to wet the soil, simply cover the top with plastic wrap and spray away.
However, most plants would also benefit from a good soil drenching as that leeches out excess salts that are the result of fertilizing. Just leave the plants in the shower until they quit dripping. However, never wet the leaves of plants with hair as they are damaged by moisture on leaves. African violets are a good example of hairy-leafed plants.
If your plant is too large to move, use a soft cloth and water to wipe both the upper and lower sides of the leaves. If this is too large a task because of the number of leaves, use a feather duster to loosen dust. Never use a leaf shine product as it blocks the pores and inhibits the plant's natural functions.
If you notice traces of white on top of the soil in your houseplants, it is probably because of accumulated salts from fertilizing. If the plant does not need repotting, simply scrape off the top 2-3 inches of soil and replace with new potting soil.
Now that your plants have been spruced up for spring, plan ahead for moving them outside.
Following the light recommendations for each particular plant, gradually move them to sunnier spots in your house to prepare them for the long sunny days of summer.

BP Comment Quick Links
March 8, 2011 BP UnfilteredMore From Sloan: Paired Pitching, with Greg RubinLast weekend's MIT Sloan Sports Analytics Conference featured a multitude of insiders and big names, but not all of the thought leaders on hand were as well-know and influential as Mark Cuban, Malcolm Gladwell and Jeff Moorad. The conference also included research paper track presentations, which gave MBA candidates like Greg Rubin an opportunity to display their analytic skills and ideas. Rubin, who attends New York University's Stern School of Business, sat down with BP to give an overview of his paper, "Paired Pitching: How to Avoid an Arms Race." GREG RUBIN: "If you look at the past 25 years, starting pitchers in a five-man rotation are throwing fewer and fewer innings than they used to. I think that's primarily because of the Moneyball effect where batters are working pitch counts and you get to 100-110 pitches much more quickly. The bullpens, who are less-efficient pitchers than the starters, are now responsible for more of the game. "The idea here is to cut your losses by saying, OK, our starters aren't as effective as they used to be and we're still paying them a lot of money, so instead of having a five-man rotation we'll have a four-pair rotation where two pitchers each throw four innings per game. The first guy throws innings one through four and the second throws innings five through eight. Then you have four bullpen spots who can take the ninth inning and any extra innings. "The reason this works is twofold. One is that if you only throw four innings, you're only facing each batter twice on average. If you look at the data, you'll see that the more times you face a batter in a game, the better the batter is going to do against you. In 2009, which is the data I used, pitchers averaged 5.8 innings per start and faced each batter 2.8 times. "Let's assume that the [first] four innings of statistics -- the by-inning statistics -- are representative of what a pitcher would throw in innings five through eight. He's coming in fresh, and if you look at how pitchers perform over their first four innings, you'll see that it's much better than how they perform over the successive innings. "83 starters threw over 150 innings in 2009, and in my study I took the eight most average pitchers. These are mostly guys in third and fourth rotation spots. Going with what those average pitchers were averaging, if you run it out over the course of the season, you would actually save 96 runs using this system. I used the Pythagenpat formula for this. What you would gain is about nine wins per season. "There are a lot of factors that go into it, but pitchers will say they don't throw their best stuff every pitch. They wait until they need to, to throw 100 percent. That might be part of why a pitcher might improve over the course of a game: he doesn't want to use his best stuff early. Pitching only four innings could act as an incentive to throw your best stuff earlier in a game. "I didn't quantify what would happen if you pulled a guy who had thrown four perfect innings -- whether he was more likely to throw another three, four or five perfect, or near perfect, innings. Would he be better than the next guy? That's definitely a follow-up piece of research. "Of course, you would never see a no-hitter, let alone a complete game with this system You'd never see a lot of the things that a pitcher likes to have on his resume, and that his agent wants in order to garner him a larger contract. Because of that, you'd end up saving a lot of money by virtue of the fact that aces wouldn't be the same as they are now. Data shows that the average team spent 28 percent of their payroll on their five-man rotation, which constitutes 12.5 percent of the roster. A paired-pitching system would have an economic benefit as well as saving runs." 17 comments have been left for this article.

The Flu: Stop the Spread
You — yes, you! — can help keep people from getting sick this flu season. How? It's not too hard. Just take these steps:
- Get the flu vaccine.
- Wash your hands often, especially before eating and after coughing, sneezing, or blowing your nose.
- Keep your sneezes and coughs to yourself (use a tissue or your elbow instead of your hand).
- Keep your hands out of your eyes, mouth, and nose.
Mom's Always Right
You may have heard all this before — probably from your mom — but flu season is a great time to actually start doing them. By following these tips, you might be able to keep yourself from getting sick and prevent germs from spreading around and making other people sick.
Do you notice something about all three of the tips above? All of them involve your hands. That's how a lot of germs get in our bodies in the first place — whether it's a cold, chickenpox, or the flu. Germs get on our hands and we put our hands in our eyes, noses, and, especially, our mouths.
Sometimes you just can't help it. You have to pick up your sandwich, floss your teeth, and do stuff like that. Our hands get plenty of opportunities to touch our eyes and noses, too. Don't even get me started on nose-picking. I think you can guess that you shouldn't be doing that during flu season either (or anytime — ew!)
Check Your Hand-Washing Skills
The best habit of all these good habits is hand washing. When you wash your hands, you rinse away germs that you might have picked up here or there. When you do this before you eat, for instance, you reduce the chance that those germs will end up in your body, where they can make you sick.
Sure, you know how to wash your hands. But check your technique against these recommendations:
- Use warm water (not cold or hot) when you wash your hands.
- Use whatever soap you like. Some soaps come in cool shapes and colors or smell nice, but whatever kind that gets you scrubbing is the kind you should use. Antibacterial soaps are OK to use, but regular soap works fine.
- Work up some lather on both sides of your hands, your wrists, and between your fingers. Don't forget to wash around your nails. This is one place germs like to hide. Wash for about 15 to 20 seconds — about how long it takes to sing "Happy Birthday" two times.
- Rinse and dry well with a clean towel.
Let's add a final step 5 since it's flu season: Tell a friend to wash up, too!

Rajasthan Royals put in a collective batting effort as they scored 170 for four in their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2014 game against the Kolkata Knight Riders at the Sardar Patel Motera, Ahmedabad. Under the hot blazing sun at Ahmedabad and with a bit of grass on the pitch, Gautam Gambhir won the toss and chose to bowl. The big news was that Kolkata dropped Jacques Kallis and brought in Ryan ten Doeschate. Piyush Chawla also made way for Umesh Yadav.
Karun Nair came into this game with all confidence after he smashed a match-winning fifty at Delhi. And, today he combined with Ajinkya Rahane to power Rajasthan to a very good start. Watching them bat in tandem was a treat for they played with all class and timing. Umesh Yadav was nonchalantly flicked through the leg-side for a four and six by Rahane in the fourth over. Nair swept Shakib Al Hasan with authority in his first over. By playing good cricketing shots, the pair ensured Rajasthan sped away to 50 in the powerplay.
However, soon after the powerplay, Rahane was run-out while pushing for a quick single. In came Sanju Samson and he got going with a couple of good shots for four through the off-side. But, Nair had slowed down and there was a boundary drought for a while as there were no boundaries for three overs between over no 9 and 12. But then, Nair broke the shackles by smashing a six off a Yadav full-toss over square-leg.
Just when Nair had picked up, he was stumped off Shakib's bowling in the 14th over. Shane Watson entered and took the attack to Vinay Kumar in the 16th over. Watson took him apart for 18 runs with a couple of sixes and a four. Samson was dismissed by Narine in the next over when he holed out to the deep for 37.
Watson smashed 31 off 20 balls and was dismissed by Sunil Narine in the penultimate over when he hit one high in the air towards long-on. Suryakumar Yadav positioned himself well and held his balance while taking the catch near the ropes. Again, Kolkata's spinners had done well. Shakib finished with one for 25 and Narine recorded two for 28. In the end, Kolkata pulled things back a little and did not let Rajasthan get away. In the last two overs, Rajasthan could only score 14 runs until the last ball, when Rajat Bhatia finished the innings with a six. The last five overs had gone for a total of 54.
Brief scores:
Rajasthan Royals 170 for 6 in 20 overs (Karun Nair 44, Sanju Samson 37; Sunil Narine 2 for 28) vs Kolkata Knight Riders.

Newer ones are shipping with a "Super AMOLED" display. What so super about it, and what does all this alphabet soup even mean?AdvertisementThe short version is that a Super AMOLED touchscreen display integrates touch sensors with the glass surface panel, eliminating at least one layer of glass and with it, a layer of air. That's what makes Super AMOLED super. Only Samsung makes it.Super AMOLED schematic from SamsungAdvertisementI said "at least one layer of glass" because AMOLED itself eliminates at least one layer in a display. The current Galaxy Tab, for example, uses a TFT-LCD (Thin-Film Transistor Liquid Crystal Display) screen. Until very recently, TFT-LCD has been the state of the art in thin color displays and is still the only cost-effective option in the vast majority of displays larger than a smartphone screen.TFT-LCD has approximately four layers: a backlight, a TFT color filter, a touch-sensor panel, and an outer glass screen. AMOLED (Active-Matrix Organic Light-Emitting Diode) eliminates the separate backlight. AMOLED, however, is known for having problems with glare and readability in direct sunlight, even relative to average LCD screens. By minimizing the number of reflective surfaces and power necessary to achieve vivid color, Super AMOLED was designed in part to address this.Samsung introduced Super AMOLED to commercial devices this year with the Samsung Wave, which ran their own Bada OS. The Android-powered Samsung Galaxy series of smartphones made the displays popular, and it's since appeared on Samsung's Windows Phone 7 handsets as well.SponsoredThere are other advanced color technologies in the market, all of them super, and all of them extra-expensive: Super LCD recently joined Super IPS and Advanced Super View. But only Super AMOLED has really captured the popular imagination.A 7-inch Android tablet with an AMOLED display would probably be a serious advance over its current LCD screen. But if it's "just" AMOLED, something about it would just seem … less than super.Wired.com has been expanding the hive mind with technology, science and geek culture news since 1995.

E-Commerce Times Talkback

Accusations of anticompetitive land-grabbing often befall category leaders like Microsoft
and Wal-Mart. But e-tail juggernaut Amazon.com is no bully, according to analysts. "Amazon
has been more of a partner than a competitor," Giga Information Group analyst Andrew
Bartels told the E-Commerce Times. "Other retailers are nestling under the jaw of Amazon,
and Amazon is picking up [product categories] that it couldn't [otherwise] go after."

A comparison of Amazon to Wal-Mart is pointless. Yes the perception of Wal-Mart as a thug is not doubt very true. On the other hand, Amazon does not need to try to price match them. The product lines that the two retailers offer do not even overlap. Wal-Mart sells rock bottom cheap crap for the most part. You cannot get yourself a Hitachi 3HP 1/2 inch router at Wal-Mart. While at Amazon, you can order one of those from the Tool Crib of the North. If you choose to order music from Wal-Mart, be sure it is not on their "banned" list of recordings. I am sure the Amazon hosted Borders will surely be able to accommodate you. Try to buy brand name clothing from Wal-Mart, or a high quality watch. Nix that. I have watched the gradual disappearance of almost every other retail option *except* Wal-Mart from the area where I live, only aggravating my freedom of choice, and I'm only 55 miles outside of New York City.

Wings, Griffins extend affiliation
by Staff Writer / Detroit Red WingsJoey MacDonald is among a slew of Griffins' players who have contributed on the NHL level with the Red Wings. (Photo by Getty Images) |
The Grand Rapids Griffins have been the primary minor-league affiliate of the Wings for the past 10-years, and the clubs are currently in the final season of their second five-year deal, which has helped produce a Stanley Cup, as well as an American Hockey League regular-season championship, along with multiple division titles for both teams.
Geographically, with the teams located 160 miles apart, the affiliation is among the closest of all AHL-NHL pairings. That proximity has proved beneficial for Detroit on many occasions, as the Griffins have sent 46 players on to Hockeytown since 2002.
"The American League is critical for all NHL teams, and having a great relationship with Grand Rapids helps keep up competitive," Wings general manager Ken Holland said. "We're all thrilled with our arrangement. As a former minor league player myself, it's exciting to see 8,000 to 10,000 fans and a great atmosphere in the building each night. It's a wonderful city and there is terrific support from the community as well as the ownership. It's a real positive environment for our young players."
Among other benefits to the Griffins, the new agreement transfers responsibility for all players and hockey operations staff, including coaches, equipment managers and trainers, to the Wings. Already, Detroit's assistant general managers, Jim Nill and Ryan Martin, have been overseeing the Griffins' day-to-day hockey operations since the departure of longtime Grand Rapids general manager Bob McNamara last summer.
Also, the Griffins will play their first-ever outdoor game as part of the Wings "Hockeytown Winter Festival" at Comerica Park in December, hosting the Toronto Marlies in the lead-up to the 2013 NHL Winter Classic between the Wings and Maple Leafs at Michigan Stadium.
"We are proud to continue our partnership with one of the premier organizations in professional sports," said Scott Gorsline, the Griffins' chief operating officer. "Detroit is committed to developing its prospects in a winning environment. Given the Red Wings' complete oversight of our hockey operations and their talented management team, we are confident that their remarkable ability to produce a Stanley Cup contender season after season will result in similar success for us at the AHL level."
Over the last decade, the Griffins have won a pair of division titles and have twice advanced to the conference finals, most notably in 2005-06 when they captured the AHL's Macgregor Kilpatrick Trophy as regular season champions.
Griffins' fans have welcomed the Wings to Van Andel Arena for several events, including four Red & White intrasquad games – most recently in 2011 – and a "Wings for Lunch" practice in 2007. In addition, they've had the opportunity to watch stars such as Chris Chelios, Curtis Joseph, Manny Legace, Andreas Lilja and Chris Osgood play for the Griffins during conditioning stints. Other NHL veterans have been sent to bolster Grand Rapids' lineup over time, including Ty Conklin, who has guided the Griffins to a 5-1 record since joining the club last month.
For the Wings, the impact of the affiliation has been unmistakable on the ice at Joe Louis Arena. The names of nine Grand Rapids alumni are engraved on the Stanley Cup from Detroit's 2008 title, and 15 current or former Griffins played a part in the Wings' recent NHL record-breaking 23-game home winning streak. Every game during that incredible run was backstopped by one of the Griffins' top two all-time leaders in wins (Jimmy Howard or Joey MacDonald), and in each of the last five games during the streak, the majority of Wings who played were Griffins alumni.
In all, 19 of the 30 players who've skated for the parent club this season are former or current Griffins, and 12 Detroit regulars – Howard, MacDonald, Jonathan Ericsson, Jakub Kindl, Niklas Kronwall, Kyle Quincey, Justin Abdelkader, Cory Emmerton, Valtteri Filppula, Darren Helm, Jiri Hudler and Jan Mursak – logged at least one complete season in Grand Rapids prior to earning a full-time job with the Wings.

Double Dutch Busk
Bettie Serveert's new Private Suit insinuated its way into the crevices of my background; it's moldy and crusty, and grows seemingly unnoticed. I didn't like it at first. It smelled moist, stale in its complacency. You see, Bettie Serveert used to pack a punch. Back in the Palomine days of 1993, they pounded out a lethal combo of Dutch chutzpah and instrumental magic: feedback festering, lingering between songs. If you took one Indigo Girl (is it possible to get one without the other?), added a fraction of Pavement, then multiplied by Belle and Sebastian (angry and addicted to some type of amphetamine-laced inhaler), you'd get Bettie Serveert's quirkiness. The quartet used to make noisily diverse albums, alternating punkish power jams and sweet ballad melodies. For the past decade they've circled the indie circuit, darlings of intellect radio and music academia. And they've finally sculpted their abrasive tunes into a perfectly poetic hum that is both secretly invasive and ethereal in its elasticity.
The way Private Suit layers the strings, harmonies, and gloomy lullabies, it's like looking at Guernica a thousand times and always seeing some new face or severed horse head pop out of the periphery. The introverted break-up-with-your-boyfriend saga "Unsound," trumped only by Lili Taylor's litany of haiku in Say Anything, buries a secret beneath the cool detachment of Carol Van Dyk's vocals. Finely tuned, stripped-down, Van Dyk basks in rejectionnaked, bearing her soul. She's ripped out her aggressively perky interludes, her toying wink, no longer able to stomach the boy from 1997's Dust Bunnies, the "kind of guy that lives next door/who's never been in love before." Rather than tangle in the seduction of new crushes and record-store romance, she's spewing out the hurt and frustration of severing a lovelorn limb. Further cementing the undying principle that you either have to be emotionally destroyed or shooting up in an alley to create musical intimacy.
She's licking her open wounds, confessing that after a Tylenol and an hour's drive, "I somehow found a reason why I'm still alive . . . and when we fall asleep/don't wake me up until next week/until I finally get my feet back on the ground/it's good to be unsound." The unsound being a melodic silence of no longer speaking to a freshly ex-beau who's returned to town. So I guess singing to him doesn't count: Punctuated by contained wails and guitar licks that neither press the issue nor let it go, her throaty, sedated, lazy croon peers around the corner as if spying on itself, not trusting its own assertions. Her nervous words are whimpered, and ululate.
Bettie Serveert
Private Suit
Private Suit is tailored to fit: in your armpits, around fleshy thighs and bulky livers. It cradles the curves of the heart and provides shock absorbers for the divots. "Satisfied" has Van Dyk, in all her bruised delirium, round-robining with herself, traveling in a singsong circle, emanating a lilting, ominous tone of frustration and anxiety, articulating a romance that hurts too much to let go: "Tell me what we are looking for if all we really want is each other?" A guitar itches; a series of strings bellows; her voice resonates. Each song on the album echoes in the cries and menacing rhythms of the previous; her story progresses from sad to angry to sad to free, wondering why "I try to fit my life into a word."

It would be easy to dismiss Private Suit as solipsistic, middle-aged Muzak on a plateau to nowhere. We've all broken up before, and we already know from mopey Michael Stipe that everyone hurts; plus, half the set sounds like B sides of old Bettie Serveert songs. The band can't resist pumping out clones of "Palomine," but the screeching and intensity and noisy imbalance of "Kid's Allright" and "Totally Freaked Out" is gone. The lover is gone too. So the song changes: The concupiscent purring is no longer flaming in feedback, and tracks like "Sower & Seeds" and "Healer" drone on in unquenchable dryness. The absence of gutty grr-rock leaves a tenderness sedated by liquid depression, yet stronger by virtue of survival. Van Dyk smokes the sweet songs with gilded reefers, brooding with furious charm.
What seems like mold in the first few listens actually turns out to be grout: a seamless, stabilizing plaster between tiles. Originally named after Holland tennis sensation Bettie Stove (serveert means "serves"), Bettie Serveert almost seem to have evolved into one of those ultratanned Florida fogies who play tennis by planting pods immobile in the ground and settling for swinging stellarone of those players who, when balls fly by, can still hit a zinger, but couldn't cross the court if bit by a Gila monster. Mainly, though, they've chosen to maintain their stroke.

...a very incomplete answer:
If you have the CD3, the output section is quite easy to trace from the PCB. If you don't have it, I'll look for a "cheesepaper" on which I did it some time ago. Concerning the digital section, you get some hints here: http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/showt...307#post980307 The way I understand it (sorry, it is not very precise, but I am quite a beginner...) is something like this: Up to the SAA7220 it is pretty much the usual Philips architecture. The 7220 performs 4x oversampling. After that, some shift registers "move things around" so that there are 4 copies of a samples, each one delayed differently and each converted by one of the four TDA1541s. This corresponds to another 4x oversampling, for a total of 16x. The four DACs are then "superposed" together before the output stage; they just go through a resistor to the same point (this is in the big DAC PCB, not the TDA1541 "daughter-boards"). Thanks to the high oversampling and high current, the output stage can be passive and very simple. Was forgetting: I/V is the usual OpAmp (5534), one for each channel of each DAC (this is in the TDA1541 "daughter-boards"). Hope this helps "a little bit" (pun?) It's a player that I really love. Quirky transport, but the DAC gives this large dynamic precise sound. Cheers, pilli. _ |

I did try to find a CD3 on Ebay at afordable cost but there is none. Since I know that it was a very nice sounding cd player and since I have few TDA1541A , I would like to do a DAC using the digital section and especially the shift registers part of the CD3, and I would do a I-V convertion and low pass filter tube output. I know the thread "Building the ultimate NOS DAC using the TDA1541A" but I found the schematic post by ecdesigns to be hard to understand and I would only use 4x TDA1541A chips, so I would find easyer to use a simplified version like the CD3 digital section and the shift registers part, but not the 4x oversampling. Thank you Gaetan |

I have somewhere a faulty CD3 and I might be able to sketch a circuit for the part that goes to the 4 dac chips but I am not experienced at this. By the way I was thinking of doing the "Building the ultimate NOS DAC using the TDA1541A" circuit until that thread got out of control. Now the interesting part is that this CD3 was hit by a power surge and the power supply was damaged so can I buy the power supply board off you oshifis? I am hoping the rest of the machine is ok but in any case I am I still happy to sketch the circuit. Regards, sp |

Hi Gaetan,
I will try to find the bones of this player. Unfortunately I got it before internet existed and after unsuccessful attempts at contacting the maunafacturer I threw out the faulty parts but I definitely have the pcb with the 4 dacs on it. Please give me about 1 week but a reminder is ok. sp |

Hello stoolpigeon
Will you try to fix this CD3 ? If not, can you sell me the pcboard allone, and mail it to me ? If yes, it would easyer for me, send me a private message by the Email button, to tell me the price and so we can also exchange address and decide how we would do it. Thank a lot Gaetan (Canada) |

Cambridge CD2/CD3 output stage
...OK, I found it in a drawer.
Sorry for the "low-fi scan" (a picture actually), I don't have time to draw it better right now. And I do not guarantee that the diagram is 100% accurate... (Above the diagram is a piece of the DAC card of a Cambridge CD2, same structure as the CD3, just implemented much worse...) Gaetan, in you previous post you say "...only use 4x TDA1541A chips, so I would find easyer to use a simplified version like the CD3 digital section and the shift registers part, but not the 4x oversampling". I'm not sure I understand you completely, but I think that the very simple output filter of the CD3 (is that a first order?) only works with 16x oversampling. If you have "less" oversampling, you may have to start the lowpass much lower, so a steeper filter. If it doesn't come earlier from someone else, I may find the time to trace the shift-registers part for you. Can't promise, though... Bye, pilli Edit 1: I noticed that the output resistor value is not marked: it's a 100K. Edit 2: Saw your latest post that came while I was typing; if you buy the DAC card, I don't need to trace it, right...? _ |

It's an ambition as towering as the nearby Alps. In Grenoble, south-east France, eight institutions covering research, teaching and management are co-operating to create a new knowledge complex immodestly called Giant.
The premise of Grenoble Innovation for Advanced New Technologies is to create in France a powerhouse to rival the US-based Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by strengthening the intellectual, institutional and physical connections between the partner institutions on one site in the heart of the city. In the process, the project will become a symbol of the much-needed reforms in French higher education.
"Giant is the co-ordination of an existing place, not the creation of a place," says Thierry Grange, director of the Grenoble Ecole de Management (GEM), which is the only management school in the consortium. "We want a place as famous as Oxford or Cambridge. We have the ingredients. We want to create a brand."
There are three groups of institutions in the consortium. GEM is joined by two other academic institutions, the Grenoble Institute of Technology and the Joseph Fourier University.
Research is represented by two major French bodies, the Atomic Energy Commission and the National Scientific Research Centre. The final group comprises two research organisations, the European Synchrotron Radiation Facility, which operates a supermicroscope for examining the structure of matter, and the Institut Laue-Langevin, which specialises in neutron science.
All of these institutions have strong international reputations, so Giant can boast an impressive level of combined brainpower. Adrienne Pervès, who is in charge of international relations on Giant's steering committee, offers an example: 6,000 researchers, technologists and engineers; 3,000 scientists visit each year; 5,000 publications and 500 patents registered each year; 4,000 students, of whom about 3,000 are from GEM.
Equally impressive is the project's physical dimension. The institutions have shared the same site, a 250-hectare promontory between the rivers Isère and Drac, for a quarter of a century. But the area is scruffy and poorly organised. A €500m master plan drawn up by the French architect Claude Vasconi envisages a new ecological zone served by low-carbon trams, shuttles and electric vehicles, with new housing, research and teaching buildings, shops, hotels, restaurants, parks and a selection of recreation facilities.
Despite all these ingredients, Giant's success will be decided by its relationship with business. Grenoble boasts major French companies such as Schneider Electric and STMicroelectronics, and hosts almost 500 foreign companies, among them big names such as Caterpillar and Hewlett-Packard. Giant's researchers include 1,500 electronics experts, of whom 70 per cent work on industrial contracts. Many of GEM's students do internships at local companies, which often subsequently employ them.
Typically students on the part-time MBA programme at the Grenoble Graduate School of Management, which is part of GEM, are local French engineers. GEM itself is an offspring of the Grenoble Chamber of Commerce, which invested €30m in a new building for the school. The money was raised from a tax on local businesses.
Indeed, Giant does not seem to have any financial constraints. Total funding is put at €1.5bn, divided roughly in equal proportions between the French government, regional government, and the private sector. Some €380m of central government's contribution will come from the proceeds of the privatisation of EDF, the electricity company. As a matter of policy, the government has earmarked a good slice of the proceeds for higher education.
Behind this financial commitment lies a largely unspoken recognition that French higher education is in urgent need of reform. The sector has been divided and fragmented, split between public universities that do little research, research institutions that do little teaching, and the grandes ecoles, of which GEM is one, whose purpose in life is to train the ruling elite. The government has tried to consolidate the public universities, for example by combining six universities in Grenoble into a single institution, which is one of the 10 designated elite universities around the country. And in the past few weeks, the government has provoked a heated debate by suggesting that a quota of one-third of entrants to grandes ecoles should come from poor backgrounds.
One public spur to change in higher education has been France's dismal performance in the Shanghai international rankings of universities. After first scoffing at the league table, France's aim now is to get the nation respectably ranked within five years. While Giant is not about improving the ranking of a particular institution, it is about raising standards by making the most of what institutions can do together rather than separately.
Moreover, there is an even broader consideration than the international reputation of French education; globalisation has meant there is much more competition in the business of scientific research and innovation than there once was. "With globalisation, there is a need to defend a scientific space. Schneider has a choice of research locations. We're in the middle of the biggest market in the world. If you know about the science and the market, this is a good place to be," says Grange.
Combining scientific research, teaching and management more effectively will be central to creating the kind of jobs France needs to be competitive, Grange argues. "Being competitive is knowledge on one side and visibility on the other. How can we be more visible to the world? How can we attract the Chinese?"
Giant is meant to be the answer. MIT is the model not just because of its content but because it is the right kind of container, Grange says. But Cambridge, Munich, Singapore, Shanghai and Zurich, among others, have the same idea.
Much will depend on how Giant's institutions work together to bury inevitable differences and rivalries and attract quality researchers, teachers, businesses and students, which are essential to its success. For its part, by successfully offering English language Masters and MBA courses in London and Grenoble, as well as several other places, GEM has already shown it is possible for Grenoble to broaden its international appeal. Giant may realise some of its ambition at least.

In the following essay, Hutch argues that Strachey greatly influenced "interest in possible connections between psychology and biography" in the twentieth century.
The response of biographers to modern psychological science and discourse has been a topic of considerable interest to scholars since World War II. Halting efforts to use psychological ideas in lifewriting were made early in the century, but they proliferated in the postwar era. Well known is the work of John Garraty on the interrelations between biography and psychology, and that of Leon Edel on the use of psychoanalytic ideas, especially the idea of "transference," in the art of biography. The language of scientific psychology, however, must be recognized as erected unwittingly upon older, longer-standing traditions of life-writing. Psychological reductionism is easy to slip into and, thus, it is a great danger faced by the biographer. But an awareness of the literary genre of biography...
