San Luis Obispo, Calif. - The Tigers scored first on an RBI double by senior LF Brett Christopher, but Cal Poly came back with seven unanswered to take game one of a Big West series, 7-1, Friday at Baggett Stadium. Senior RF Allen Riley tripled and scored for Pacific, while redshirt freshman 1B Erik Lockwood was two-for-four with a pair of doubles.
With one out in the top of the second, Riley drove a pitch to the wall in right center for his first triple of the season, and Christopher followed with a double to right for a 1-0 Pacific lead. But Cal Poly RHP Joey Wagman got out of the inning with a fly ball, leaving Christopher at third.
The Mustangs knotted the game up at one in the bottom of the third inning as catcher Chris Hoo reached on a two-base error in centerfield, and after advancing on a groundout, scored on an RBI grounder from DH Tim Wise.
Cal Poly CF Mitch Haniger doubled down the left field line to open the second, and after an infield single by 3B Jimmy Allen set up first and third, Tiger starter RHP Michael Benson got a double play ball from LF/RF David Armendariz. Pacific turned two, but with no body out, the go-ahead run came in for a 2-1 lead.
Freshman CF Tyler Sullivan ended Wagman's stretch of retiring 10 straight by doubling to right center with two out in the fifth, but he was left stranded.
The Mustangs added a run in the fifth when Hoo singled to left, 2B Evan Busby walked and and Wise singled to left to make it 3-1.
Pacific set the table in the seventh, as freshman 2B Taylor Murphy singled up the middle, but Riley's line drive was snared by Busby at second, and Poly doubled off Murphy.
In the bottom half of the seventh, the Mustangs blew the game open, as Tommy Pluschkell walked, and after a fly out and a fielder's choice, five straight Mustangs reached. SS Mike Miller walked, and Wise hit a three-run homer to left. His first of the season made it a 6-1 ballgame. Haniger followed with a double to left to chase Benson, and Allen greeted RHP Bryce Lombardi with an RBI single before Lombardi got a soft liner to end the inning.
Junior LHP Travis Lumby pitched a perfect eighth, and Lockwood doubled off RHP Michael Holback in the ninth, but was stranded at third as the Mustangs closed it out in the ninth.
Five of Pacific's six hits were for extra bases, but the Tigers (11-28) were one-for-seven with runners in scoring position to fall to 1-9 in Big West play.
Benson (2-6) went 6.2 innings, allowing seven hits and six earned while striking out three. The home run by Wise was just the second Benson has allowed this season. Wagman lasted eight innings, allowing one earned on five hits with a pair of strikeouts to improve to 6-3.
Wise finished two-for-four with four runs batted in for Cal Poly (23-17, 7-6 Big West).
Game two is slated for a 6 p.m. first pitch Saturday at Baggett Stadium.

Of course, these workers -- most likely -- won't have to work on Christmas day but outside of that, many of them will be working every other day of the week despite planned holidays. In this sense, IT pros are unable to actually relax during the holidays.
No Break
Network monitoring software vendor Ipswitch conducted the survey with more than 140 participants. After compiling the , it found that a large portion of IT professionals will be unable to expect anything more than Christmas day off.
"Even the holidays can't provide a brief respite for many hardworking IT pros," said Ennio Carboni, president Ipswitch's network management division. "They may be giving up downtime with friends and family to make sure your networks have uptime."
For the people that are not officially on call, 56 percent of the IT pros still say that they will be thinking about work while they are off. Since network management is arguably one of the most difficult tech-related jobs, it makes sense that many workers find it difficult to stay away from work and separate themselves from their jobs during their holiday breaks.
"Be sure to thank your hardworking IT pro this holiday season, as they may be giving up downtime with friends and family to make sure your networks have uptime," said Carboni.
An End To Fire-Fighting
Outside of finding out how many IT pros will actually be working or thinking about work this holiday season, Ipswitch asked the pros what they would like to see change in the industry once they get back from the break. The most popular change mentioned in the survey was that the workers did not want to spend all of their time fire-fighting. For IT professionals, fire-fighting means dealing with problems once they come up instead of preventing the problems in the first place.
"It simply is not necessary for the hard working, under-appreciated people in IT to spend their time fire-fighting problems on their networks -- regardless of the time of year -- when they would rather be planning. It is evident that many these problems could be managed remotely by network monitoring technologies which could identify the exact sources of problems to prevent issues such as server crashes and poor application performance," said Ipswitch's VP of international sales, Alessandro Porro.
If your environment isn't robust enough to weather a holiday, it's not ready for production either.
I used to be in IT Operations in several companies from small (100 employee) to large (300,000 employees).
Certainly if you're responsible for keeping systems up and running, and you're designated on-call, you have a working week ahead of you, instead of seven days off.
But if you're not in IT operations, let's say you're in IT development or IT planning or IT project management or any of a dozen other IT subdisciplines, you don't have to carry a pager or cell-phone and be on-call 24x7. You've got a nice holiday week ahead of you.
That said, as several other commenters here have noted, change freezes often go into effect during the holidays, which means that there are usually fewer application- or system-level incidents during this time, which itself makes for a lower-stress week even if you are on-call.
Do I love my job? Yes, otherwise I wouldn't put up with this nonsense. But still, many people don't realize how much work goes on behind the scenes to keep such a complex system up and running. Most people don't notice us when things run smoothly, they only blame us when things go wrong.
It's just the nature of the job.
The only environments that differ slightly in this regard are some government and educational IT positions where there is some shift related redundancies (congrats to you if you are blessed with one of them) or a certain amount of downtime is acceptable because the function is not considered mission critical.
A country song once said "...Mammas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys..." and I would suggest the updated version to be "...Parents, don't let your babies grow up to be IT Pros..." :p

I would like a lower unemployment rate, please.
NEW YORK (CNNMoney) -- The economy added 227,000 jobs in February, but the unemployment rate didn't change at all.
Woe is the White House -- which would love to have the lowest rate possible heading into the general election.
But why didn't the unemployment rate change if the economy added jobs?
The unemployment rate measures the percent of the labor force that is unemployed.
The unemployed are individuals who have actively looked for work over the previous four weeks. Looking for work can mean having a job interview, sending out resumes, or even something as simple as calling friends or relatives in hopes of finding a job.
The number of unemployed is then divided by the total labor force. And in February, the size of the labor force increased -- possibly as discouraged workers started looking for work again.
As the labor force swelled, so did the number of new jobs necessary to drop the unemployment rate.
Just take a look at the last two months for an example of how this works.
In February, 227,000 jobs were added and the unemployment rate didn't change. Compare that to January, when the economy added 243,000 jobs and the unemployment rate dropped from 8.5% to 8.3%.
The difference?
In January, the labor force participation rate decreased by 0.3%. In February, it increased by 0.2%.
And that 0.2% increase in February translated to 476,000 extra people in the labor force, preventing a decline in the unemployment rate.
So it's possible that an improving economy can actually cause the unemployment rate to remain static, or even rise, as more discouraged workers start mailing resumes.
Much has been made of how low -- or high -- the unemployment rate might be on Election Day, and whether a particular number will be enough to ensure a victory for President Obama, or sink his candidacy.
Of course, the unemployment rate is not the best measure of economic strength, but the number plays a large role in campaign trail rhetoric.
Assuming the labor force participation rate holds steady, and the population grows at the same rate it has over the previous year, the economy needs to add 149,288 jobs per month to get the unemployment rate to 8%.
If the economy could produce 240,247 new jobs a month, under the same assumptions, the rate would fall to 7.5%.
But this is a fragile calculation. If the labor force participation rate ticks up by only half a percent, to 64.4%, the economy would need to add 371,916 jobs per month to reduce the unemployment rate to 7.5%. That's a tall order.
These calculations were made via a nifty calculator from the Atlanta Fed, which can be accessed here.
Now, no data shows 8% -- or 7.5% -- is the magic rate needed to guarantee re-election.
Indeed, no president since Franklin D. Roosevelt has won re-election with an unemployment rate over 7.2%, if anecdotal evidence is to serve as a guide.
Most election forecasters and political scientists say the way people feel about the economy is far more important -- and if the economy is markedly improved each month leading up to November, that is a best-case scenario for the White House.

Lloyd's of London picks Brussels for EU subsidiary - report
LONDON Lloyd's of London, the world's largest speciality insurance market, has picked Brussels for its planned European Union subsidiary, The Insurance Insider reported late on Tuesday.
BRUSSELS Greece will fail to reduce its debt burden to a manageable level by 2020 with current policies, European Central Bank policymaker Joerg Asmussen told Belgian daily De Tijd, forecasting the target set by creditors will be widely missed.
Greece's second international bailout in March was supposed to make its debt sustainable by 2020, falling to 116.5 percent of economic output, but two elections and months of delays in agreed polices have thrown targets off course.
"Under unchanged policies, the debt in 2020 will still be somewhat higher than 140 percent of GDP according to ECB estimates," said Asmussen, a member of the ECB executive board, in an advance copy of an interview to be published on Saturday.
With total Greek debt estimated at 175 percent of gross domestic product and forecast to rise to nearly 190 percent next year, euro zone finance ministers will meet on Monday to try to determine just how off-track Greece is and how to respond.
Disagreement over the state of Greece's future finances threatens to further delay the next 31.5 billion euro-tranche of Greece's second bailout, pushing it close to bankruptcy.
First estimates by inspectors from the European Commission, the European Central Bank and the International Monetary Fund show the debt would be at least 130 percent of GDP in 2020. The IMF differs from the Commission, euro zone officials have told Reuters, with the Commission more optimistic.
Asmussen told De Tijd that finance ministers had to look at a range of options to help Greece, "including voluntary debt buy-back's, lowering the interest rate on outstanding loans and asking for a higher Greek primary surplus."
A radical strategy would be for euro zone countries, which have made loans totalling 127 billion euros (101.5 billion pounds) bailout programmes, to write off some of that.
But Asmussen said that was unlikely.
"The appetite for a second restructuring is extremely low among member states," he said, referring to the private sector write down of Greek debt earlier this year.
He said it was still better to keep Greece within the euro zone and that the country may get two more years of financing, although there was still no agreement on how to do this.
"In the next few days, we need an agreement on further measures in Greece and additional aid from the other euro area countries to ensure debt sustainability," he said.

GW Lacrosse Tops La Salle, 8-7, in Key A-10 Contest
Lacey and Phillips Lead Colonials with Three Goals Apiece
April 15, 2012
Junior Nicole Lacey converted a free-position goal with 12:03 remaining in the game for what proved to be the game-winner for GW (9-5, 3-2 A-10). Lacey also provided the deciding goal in the Colonials' 14-13 overtime victory over
Lacey and senior Sarah Phillips each tallied a game-high three goals and classmate Megan Seidman chipped in two to round out GW's offense. Phillips and freshman Addi Bolin were each credited with an assist. With her four points, Phillips (110g/96a) climbed to 206 for her career, which is six shy of passing Laura Hostetler's program record 211 career points.
Seidman got the Colonials on the board less than a minute into the contest and the Explorers tied the score at 1-1 at the 15:01 mark.
Seidman connected with Phillips for a goal with 14 seconds left in the opening half to put the Buff and Blue ahead, 3-2, heading into the break.
Melanie Sarcinello scored on a free-position shot to give La Salle a 5-4 lead, but Phillips added back-to-back goals a minute apart to give the Colonials the lead at 6-5 with 22:10 remaining. Sarcinello netted her second consecutive free-position shot to tie the score at 16:37 and La Salle gained a 7-6 lead less than one minute later.
Phillips scored her third and final goal at the 14:28 mark for the seventh tie of the game at 7-7. With just over 12 minutes remaining in regulation, Lacey drew a foul and buried the free-position shot to lift the Colonials to victory.
Junior goalkeeper Jess Hicks stopped nine first-half shots between the pipes for GW and freshman Mackenzie Jones recorded five saves in the second half.
GW continues its road swing with league contests at Duquesne and St. Bonaventure next weekend to finish the A-10 regular season. The Colonials match up with the Dukes in

WASHINGTON (AP) - FBI Director James Comey says the FBI and Justice Department have no information to substantiate President Donald Trump's claims that former President Barack Obama wiretapped him before the election.
Comey says no individual can order surveillance of an American. He says courts grant this permission after a rigorous application process.
Comey was testifying before the House intelligence committee. Comey said the Justice Department also asked him to share with the committee that the answer also applies to the Justice Department and its various components. The Justice Department oversees the FBI and other law enforcement agencies.

The Horse Forum
- Horse Talk
- - Boarder rant
Boarder rant Okay this rant is of another boarder at the stables. There are only two boards...me and the lady (we shall call her "Mary"). Mary bought her daughter a pretty Belgian/TB cross. The only reason they bought that mare was because the price was right and it was close to the stables. Well the mare turned out to be too much horse for her daughter. She was well-trained, but headstrong and spooky. Finally Mary's daughter lost interest in the mare, so they put the mare up for sale. Sadly, they haven't sold the mare yet...she's in horrible condition...her hooves are all flared and her mane looks like dreadlocks. Mary only comes maybe once every other month to make sure the mare is still alive, but doesn't excersize her, pet her, or anything. The last time they stopped by, the girl took the mare out to do something with her (not sure what), and when she was done, she put the mare back in the pasture, kicked the mare, and then shut the gate and left. No wonder the mare hates people and if frightened by them! Anyways, my rant mainly starts when the snow in winter was fairly bad. I told my barn owner that since Sonny hates stalls, I want him out 24/7 even in bad weather...because it's healthier for him and he'll be happier. Well the barn owner agreed and never would bring Sonny in. Well, when the weather was bad (either really snowy or freezing rain) Mary would come and put her horse in the stall...but not only would she put her mare in...but she'd put Sonny in as well...she did that three times. I talked to the barn owner and told her that if she doesn't talk to Mary, then I will talk to her. I explained to her that Mary does not have a right to put my horse in a stall unless she has my permisison first...she doesn't take care of her horse so I don't trust her with my horse. The barn owner apologized and said she'd speak with her...and after that I've had no problems with Mary. But when I left the barn today, I saw Mary and her son (? I think it was her and her son...I didn't get a good look at them due to we were in the car driving away) and they were near Sonny petting him and hand feeding him hay. Okay, I don't care if they hand feed him hay or pet him...but Sonny is NOT a kids horse and I know for a fact that he would not treat a kid any different than me. My worry is for the kid. Sonny spooks easily....he spooked at his hay this morning (pathetic, yes :lol: ) and I know that if that boy gets hurt I'd get in trouble and so would Sonny. I'm unsure if I should call the barn owner and let her know, or just live with it. I don't think the little kid would do anything for really all he was doing was looking at Sonny from a distance. What would you do? Just Mary herself bugs me...she doesn't take care of her horse...thankfully we got her permission to work with her mare...to ride her and whatnot...but still. She's a grown lady...IMHO she should take responsibilities and take care of her horse. |
13 Attachment(s) Wow, that's terrible. :evil: I'm glad you can work with her horse. She should definitely know better! Poor mare...I hate when people treat their horses like crap like that. Ugh. About the issue with Sonny, I don't think it's that big of a deal unless the son comes in contact with him more. Maybe next time you see them say nicely, "Sonny is kinda spooky & doesn't really do well with kids, so be careful you don't get too close." Or something like that. ;) |
I know! The first time we worked with her we just lunged her around and then groomed her...when we weere lunging her, she had so much energy that we just put her in the arena and she ran around and around and around...we weren't even making her go...she got herself all sticky and icky with sweat...we tried to stop her after maybe 5 minutes...but she wouldn't stop...poor girl. I will mention that to her, but I don't think she'll listen...she doesn't particually listen to the barn owner either at times :P |
Well that woman sounds like a real winner. At least ya'll get to work with the poor girl! Sad though that the owner doesn't have the motivation...or care for that matter. I would tell both the owner and the woman that your horse is spooky and could potentially hurt someone. If the woman doesn't listen, then that's her own doing. You should at least give a warning though. Sorry you have to deal with this! |
13 Attachment(s) Aww, that poor horse never got out/exercised much. Shame on those owners! :evil: That horse is lucky to have you there to help her a bit though. ;) |

Can anyone help me tame this 6' beast?
I finished building this TH. I am impressed with the output. It is very strong in the 32 to 37Hz range, but seems weak in the 40 to 80Hz range. There is extension down to 29Hz and very little below 27Hz. It is strong above 85Hz. I wish I could boost that middle section. I don't care about going any lower.
Could anyone model this as it is and with a better matched speaker? For now, I just used a speaker I had laying around. Note internal length should read 70-1/2" Thanks! |

You haven't given all HR input-parameters. Though it seems to be a pretty uniform flare rate/expansion. S2 is in the middle of the driver, near the closed end. S3 is in the mdiddle of the driver, near the mouth.
I assume you're not in touch with HR yet, this might help: Guide to WinISD Pro and Hornresp - Speakerplans.com Forums - Page 1 You change it into a HR-record and suddenly even lazy people like me don't mind lending a hand I think I would start with a lower Vas, lower Qes, higher Fs driver. Best regards Johan

as others have said, that box/driver combo appears to have issues.
A pa driver would be better suited (3012lf in black, vs your driver) If you want to keep your driver, moving baffle to 4" for throat side instead of 2" helps some, but it's still kinda ugly. |

Hey Guys,
Thank you much for taking the time to look at this TH for me. The modeled curves do seem a bit off from what my ears hear. My function generator reads 33-35Hz when the output is strongest, about 10Hz lower than modeled. The speaker is 20 years old and the foam is about to go, so that might be the reason. Edit: After more listening, the peak does seem to be at 39-40Hz. Wish I had real testing gear. I pulled a driver out of another speaker and tried it Fs: 26, Qes .31, Vas 8 Cu/ft. Not ideal, but worth a test. It has better extension into the upper 20Hz range and sounds louder in the 40 Hz range. It still has dead zones. It certainly illustrates how driver parameters affect the horn response. I can't read the data from the HR runs. Last edited by johnr66; 12th March 2010 at 01:07 AM. |

What do you think of this one? Will I lose my sub 30 Hz extension with this PA speaker? It is from Parts Express. I live nearby and can return it to them if I'm not happy, so I'd rather buy through them. This is under $100 and in my price range. Only problem is I can't find any low Qes drivers in my range.

Thanks bjorno. That speaker is a good match, but too expensive for me. Anything in the sub $100 range that would work reasonable?
Here is the PDF for the other speaker. Thanks, John |

Inspection will take place in eastbound lanes ---River Ridge Mall side of roadway
Crews under contract to the Virginia Department of Transportation (VDOT) will inspect various structures in the ten-county Lynchburg District during April, including the eastbound lanes of Route 128, Candler's Mountain Road near River Ridge Mall over the Norfolk Southern Railway.
The work will take place on Tuesday, April 10 from 9 a.m. to Noon and is subject to change due to weather and/or the availability of equipment/manpower. For the safety of the public and workers, lane closures will be used during this work.
VDOT is required to inspect bridge structures are regular intervals not to exceed 24 months. Inspections help the Department to monitor the conditions of structures and to schedule necessary maintenance to keep structures in the best condition possible.
For several weeks, motorists have been alerted to work on the sister structure to this one. Next week, a work zone will be erected in the westbound lanes of Candler's Mountain Road so structure repairs can start and the westbound will be reduced to one lane of traffic for several months.
For the most current information about work on Virginia's roadways, visit www.511VA.org or call 511.
Information in VDOT news releases was accurate at the time the release was published. For the most current information about projects or programs, please visit the project or program Web pages. You may find those by searching by keyword in the search Virginia DOT box above.

The concept of a car driving itself through city streets is no longer relegated to the realm of science fiction.
Automobiles competing in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency's Urban Challenge in November proved themselves capable of navigating through a closed course in California without any humans sitting behind the wheel or remotely controlling the vehicles.
Loaded with sensors and computing technologies, the cars, sports utility vehicles and trucks dodged obstacles, pulled into parking spots and merged into moving traffic with calculated precision.
While the technologies to enable fully autonomous vehicles have advanced, robotics experts say there is still more to be done to make them viable in military and commercial applications in the next decade.
"It was a great demonstration of what's possible. But we still have a lot of hard work in terms of engineering and product development in front of us to make it broadly available and broadly feasible," says Bill Thomasmeyer, president of the Pittsburgh-based National Center for Defense Robotics, a non-profit organization.
To accelerate the development of robotics technology, DARPA in 2004 sponsored a contest for unmanned vehicles in the California desert. Fifteen teams attempted the 142-mile course, but none of the competitors came close to finishing the race. In 2005, four vehicles completed the second challenge, running through the 132-mile Nevada desert course in less than 10 hours.
It was about that time that roadside bombs in Iraq began taking a heavy toll on the U.S. military. Suddenly, the need for unmanned ground systems in an urban environment became more urgent.
Few robotic systems were available because of the perceived danger of operating unmanned vehicles in populous areas. Also, technologies were considered difficult to develop and to test.
DARPA soon after announced the Urban Challenge — a robotics race similar to the grand challenges with a decidedly different twist: this time, vehicles would have to navigate 60 miles through a city-like course and contend with moving traffic composed of stunt drivers in other vehicles.
"We started two years ago with the idea that the use of robots in an urban area was so far out that we really needed to create believers among the community," says Norman Whitaker, program manager of the DARPA Urban Challenge.
In the previous contests, teams had demonstrated that the sensor technologies were readily available to help vehicles "see" their desert surroundings to navigate autonomously through the course. But to accomplish the same feat on paved roadways with curbs, lanes, stop signs and oncoming traffic would require more sensors and sophisticated computer networks to process and interpret the data.
"We wanted this to be a software race," says Whitaker.
The participants relied on commercially available sensors, including cameras, lasers and light detection and ranging systems, to help their vehicles discern the environment.
"To the casual observer, it seems easier to drive in a city versus in a desert environment. But if you think about it, it's probably an order of magnitude more difficult than trail driving," says Chris Urmson, director of technology for Carnegie Mellon University's team entry, "Boss," which won the Urban Challenge.
"The challenge wasn't really a navigational challenge – it was more of a sensing and classification challenge and being able to navigate through an urban terrain," says software engineer Chris Terwelp, co-founder of Blacksburg, Va.-based TORC Technologies. The company partnered with the Virginia Tech team, which placed third in the challenge with its Ford Escape hybrid, "Odin."
The teams that were most successful used multimodal sensors — combinations of cameras, lasers and range detection systems — to create a comprehensive understanding of the environment, says Thomasmeyer.
Some of the vehicles were equipped with a roof-mounted spinning light and range detection system — made by Velodyne — to attain a 360-degree, three-dimensional view. The system fires 64 lasers simultaneously and spins at 10 hertz to generate a million measurements per second. "It's the kind of thing we may need in the future to have self-driving cars," says Whitaker.
During the course of the competition, there were thousands of vehicle interactions, where one vehicle faced another vehicle and managed to pass by safely for the most part without getting into accidents.
"I was surprised by how well they did. We expected more vehicles to pull into the wrong lane or turn at the wrong time," he says.
Of an initial pool of 89 competitors, 35 teams competed in the semi-qualification rounds in Victorville, Calif. Eleven made it to the final event on the grounds of former George Air Force Base, where the military trains some units for urban operations.
DARPA awarded the top prize of $2 million to Team Tartan Racing from Carnegie Mellon University. Stanford University placed second and Virginia Tech came in third.
Carnegie Mellon's winning entry, a Chevy Tahoe, employed long-range radars that were mounted on the front of the vehicle to spot objects and keep tabs on the environment, says Urmson. When Boss came to an intersection, it could point those sensors in different directions to look for traffic before turning or merging. "Boss was able to do that in traffic moving up to 30 miles per hour," he says.
Stanford's team also mounted lasers on its Volkswagen Passat to search for curbs and lane markings. It put radars on the front bumper for longer range obstacle sensing and vehicle tracking and employed a global positioning satellite and inertial sensing system, says David Orenstein, a spokesman for the university's school of engineering.
For the team that won DARPA's second Grand Challenge three years ago, the problem wasn't so much navigating, but rather processing the data from the additional sensors, he says. Inside the vehicle's trunk, two Intel Quad-Core processors computed the sensory data.
The networking was one of the most challenging and crucial components of the robots, because the data processing had to occur quickly and in a synchronized fashion to allow the vehicles to keep moving in the race.
"If you're trying to drive a car, and all of a sudden your network becomes slow, your vehicle is going to crash," says Paul DeBitetto, leader of the cognitive robotics group at Boston-based Draper Laboratory, which assisted the team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. The team finished fourth in the race.
Because of safety concerns, DARPA officials required vehicles to have the basic skills that drivers must acquire to obtain a California driver's license. In some cases, deficiencies, such as a lack of defensive driving skills, came to light.
"If the teams had totally mastered the skills, the two little fender benders that took place on the course wouldn't have happened," says Whitaker.
One of those incidents occurred at an intersection when a vehicle from Cornell University slowly approached the MIT vehicle, which failed to detect the imminent collision and move out of the way.
"If they had backed up, if they had hit that technical requirement, then they would've been safe," says Whitaker.
Team Oshkosh tweaked its software to help its TerraMax truck better navigate curvy roads lined with cars, says John Beck, chief engineer at Oshkosh Truck Corp. But when the vehicle navigated a parking lot, a software bug showed up. TerraMax found its parking spot, pulled in and backed out perfectly, but when it attempted to find its way out of the lot, the vehicle's lower level controls stopped responding.
"It started rolling forward at one mile an hour and needed to be paused," he says. Race officials subsequently disqualified the team from the race.
Most participants in the DARPA race believe that their technologies have a bright future ahead.
"If the Defense Department can come up with some specific requirements for these vehicles, they're going to have a lot of commercial off-the-shelf options available to them," says Terwelp.
The Army is developing a next-generation family of manned and unmanned vehicles known as Future Combat Systems. But it has not yet formulated formal requirements for the unmanned systems.
Thomasmeyer says those requirements would help autonomous technologies to take off in the commercial sector.
"That will guide industry in engineering the technology into real solutions," he says.
Robotics technology is very expensive, the race finalists say. Some teams spent upwards of $250,000 in sensors and computers. Stanford's vehicle cost half a million dollars.
DeBitetto says that work has to be done to make the sensors much cheaper and more reliable. "Driving down the size, the power and the cost of all the systems to do the Urban Challenge – that's a huge undertaking right there," he says. "There's a lot more thought and work and software to be written to make sure that it would really be fool-proof," he adds.
For instance, the cars didn't have to contend with traffic lights or pedestrians, Orenstein points out.
There are also subtle cues, such as turn signals, that the robots would have to be able to detect to determine other vehicles' intentions. Figuring out pedestrians' intentions would be even more complicated.
Despite those hurdles, the teams and other robotics experts say that the technologies are mature enough for the military to begin harvesting them for its needs.
The technologies could be adapted for convoy operations or mine clearance.
"You can have one of these vehicles run back and forth on this route over and over and over again," says Beck, of Oshkosh. "The technology today would allow a vehicle to do that type of mission."
Another possible application is in logistics, says Thomasmeyer. "If you're talking about creating a convoy of 100 trucks that are all operating without anybody in them, in my mind that's a long way off," he says. But robotics technology could help automate some of the driving functions and free up convoy drivers to do other things.
The technologies also could help mitigate non-combat vehicle accidents, points out DeBitetto. Troops are driving fast in combat zones and having accidents. If the vehicles could automatically perform anti-rollover maneuvers or detect imminent collisions and initiate evasive maneuvers, then lives potentially could be saved.
The technologies developed for the Urban Challenge also could get a boost from the commercial sector. A number of automotive companies sponsored many of the teams and their interest is indicative of the implications of autonomous systems for passenger vehicles.
Shortly after the Urban Challenge, an official from General Motors announced that many of the teams' technologies would appear in passenger vehicles within the next decade. Many of the sensors used in the DARPA race were intended for highway driving.
"You can get a sensor that has a 12-degree horizontal field of view and a three-degree vertical field of view and that will work perfectly fine for freeway driving. But it's insufficient for urban driving," says Urmson. "Now that the automotive industry and the military are starting to push into this domain, then the sensor manufacturers will start to make sensors that mate up with this problem and that will reduce the complexity of the sensor suite that you need and will also make them lighter and more effective."
Companies are improving laser-radar technologies through solid-state laser work. Such sensors would send out a strobe of light to capture a 3-D view of the environment instead of relying upon rotating lasers.
At Draper Laboratory, researchers are focusing on artificial intelligence so robots can learn from their mistakes, just as humans do. For example, if an autonomous vehicle is repeatedly being shelled by mortars on its route, it can learn that that road is dangerous and will find a safer route the next time. Or it can recognize that it's running low on fuel or is damaged. Scientists say it will be years before autonomous vehicles are commonplace.
"I suspect that the military will arrive first at fully autonomous convoys before we'll see fully autonomous vehicles driving us to work every day," says Thomasmeyer.

The biggest problem with Vizier is convincing people not to run into attenuation discs.
"OMG guys I think the pattern is different this weeK! I better stop dodging them!"
The biggest problem with Vizier is convincing people not to run into attenuation discs.
"OMG guys I think the pattern is different this weeK! I better stop dodging them!"
We killed Lei Shi on Monday night and killed Vizier last night on our 24th pull. We found the fight to be pretty simple with some rng that you just have to overcome.
NOW to Amber Shaper or Protectors THAT is the question.
Vizier is easy if your raid team learn the Attenuation.
Watch this video. It got us our kill. I know it's very long but the end phase part of the video is how we got our kill.
It really depends on the people you bring, in fact both of those fights will test the competence of your raiders:
While on Ambershaper constant vigilance is needed and one single error can wipe the floor with your Protectors is not less annoying: on the first people need to know what to do in the construct, while on Protectors perfect add handling and interrupt is highly advised, as without that you would have a bad time. We killed Ambershaper first ( before Lei and Prot that is) but it is a bit controlled by a randomfactor: for the firstk ill if you can do that bring the most skilled people, who will not panic when they are suddenly transformed and you should rock on. If you want to go Protectors first the obvious kill order is the following: Kaolan, Regail and then Asani, but you prolly know that already, but be prepeared that you will need good interrupts on Asani throughout the entire fight, cause his waterbolts are crucial. One more thing: Protectors can bug with the Lightning Prison: as it shouldn't ever target 2 healers if you happen to have a Monk as a second healer be alert, that it is possible that they put that and the other healer in stun, stunning them and causing a wipe if you dont act quickly.
Heroic-Elite Protectors is actually extremely easy (much easier than standard Heroic Protectors) if you have solid healers, so that's what I'd recommend. If you aren't confident in your healers, go with Imperial Vizier. Vizier isn't healing intensive if your raid is smart. If both your raid and your healers aren't good, pick one and bang your face into it until it dies.

Want a pizza oven at your house? You can convert your regular range for less than $40.
The goal is to build a wide insert with a low ceiling that will concentrate the heat when baking. It should be wide enough to easily slide a pizza onto the base using a pizza peel or inverted cookie sheet (allow at least an inch on either side, so 14 to 16 inches wide for a 10- to 12-inch pizza), and shallow enough to make the most of the concentrated heat (allowing 4 to 6 inches of vertical clearance).
Measure your oven's inner dimensions so you know the rough size of the insert you want before you shop. Make sure your racks are in good condition to withstand the weight of the insert.
Then purchase materials -- firebrick and unglazed ceramic or terra cotta tiles and pizza stones -- that can withstand your oven's consistently high heat. Double-check at the store to make sure you have the right materials. If all that sounds just too complicated, you can still get a decent pie using a simple pizza stone or by lining your rack with unglazed ceramic or terra cotta tiles from the hardware store.
Pizza stones are available at kitchen supply stores. Unglazed ceramic and terra cotta tiles are available at tile stores and some large hardware retailers.
Firebrick can be found at masonry supply stores, several of which are listed here:

Q. Is it legal to require that employees on FMLA leave report to us regularly on their plans to return to work? —P.R., New York
A. It's not just legally OK, it's smart. No employee should receive open-ended FMLA leave. If a medical certification form doesn't include an estimated leave length or if the leave extends beyond the estimated time, you should ask for a new certification from the employee's physician. Also, if you believe the leave is unwarranted, you can require an examination by a physician of your choice.
Note: You can request recertification every 30 days. But if the employee requests an FMLA leave extension during the first 30 days of leave, you can request recertification immediately.

With pumping discos, late night bars and live music venues, Lagos is fast making its mark as the nightlife capital of Nigeria. The nightlife scene tends to start late in the evening and keep going until the sun rises, with most clubs only beginning to fill up at about 11pm. The main nightlife destinations in Lagos include Victoria Island and Ikoyi. Mainland Lagos has a couple of great bars but only for the more adventurous as safety can be an issue.
Popular late night bars and clubs in Ikoyi and Victoria Island include Kuramo Sports Cafe, Bambuddha and Club Towers Priv''E. Awolowo Road attracts a number of diners and late night drinkers, and Nigeria''s resident expat population tend to migrate toward Pat''s Place. Popular venues on Mainland Lagos include Motherlan'' and New Afrika Shrine.

...To Keep Evidence Obtained By JFTC Of Illegal Business Practices From The Public Record
Fair Trade Commission of Japan to Turn Over Evidence Collected In Its Investigation of Intel K.K. By March 17, 2006
TOKYO, Japan -- December 16, 2005 --Tokyo District Court today required the disclosure of evidence collected by the Fair Trade Commission of Japan (JFTC) during its investigation of Intel K.K. ("Intel") for violating the country's Antimonopoly Act. The evidence, discovered in raids of Intel K.K. offices as well as major Japanese OEM manufacturers in April, 2004, formed the basis of the JFTC's Recommendation against Intel. Legal counsel for AMD Japan intend to use the JFTC's evidence as part of its law suit against Intel in Japan, filed June 30th, 2005.(AMD Japan v. Intel K.K.).
The ruling was issued at the conclusion of a hearing in which counsel for both AMD Japan and Intel addressed the production of documents collected by the JFTC during its year-long investigation into Intel for violating Japan's Antimonopoly Act.
"Today's court ruling sends the message that the truth about Intel's illegal monopoly abuse will soon see the light of day," said Thomas M. McCoy, AMD executive vice president, legal affairs and chief administrative officer. "We thank the court for its sound decision, and we believe that it sends a clear message worldwide that Intel cannot hope to hide the truth about its anti-competitive business practices any longer; not from the law or from consumers everywhere who deserve to know the facts. We believe the JFTC's evidence will show what people inside our industry already know well - that Intel abuses its monopoly position to threaten and intimidate OEMs not to do business with AMD."
McCoy continued, "What's at stake is the future of computing in a world economy that grows more dependent on microprocessors daily. Consumers across the globe are being harmed by Intel's abusive monopoly- preservation tactics through higher prices, stifled innovation and reduced choice."
The JFTC Recommendation Against Intel
On March 8, 2005, the JFTC found that Intel abused its monopoly power to exclude fair and open competition, violating Section 3 of Japan's Antimonopoly Act. The findings revealed that Intel used coercive, illegal tactics to stop AMD's growing success and increasing market share, which reached 22% in 2002, by imposing limitations on Japanese PC manufacturers (which sell notebook and desktop computers to customers around the world).
The JFTC Recommendation was the culmination of an 11-month investigation that has established patterns of anti-consumer and anti-competitive behavior. The commission found that, because of AMD's inroads into Intel's market share, Intel deliberately set out to artificially limit AMD by imposing conditions on five Japanese manufacturers (later revealed to be NEC Corp., Toshiba Corp., Hitachi Ltd., Sony Corp., and Fujitsu, Ltd.) that together represented 77% of all CPUs sold in Japan. Specifically, the JFTC found that:

SEXY cook Nigella Lawson has been voted Britain's top MILF.
I love waking up to gorgeous Lorraine Kelly. Her lovely lilting voice is enough to seduce even the most hard-hearted fellow.
Dame Helen Mirren, 67, came second in the survey, with Daybreak presenter Lorraine Kelly, 53, reckoned to be the third sexiest older woman.
Thelma and Louise star Susan Sarandon, 66, and Madonna, 54, also scored highly.
One male respondent said: "I love waking up to gorgeous Lorraine Kelly. Her lovely lilting voice is enough to seduce even the most hard-hearted fellow.
"But for sheer sex appeal my vote would have to go to the mumsy vixen that is Fern Britton."
But Brits aren't so keen on celebs that try too hard to maintain their looks.
"The only exceptions to the rule are women who refuse to grow old gracefully and either indulge heavily in plastic surgery or dress in clothes that are far too young for them," said another respondent.
A spokesman for Ordissimo, the simplified computer makers who conducted the poll, added: "Like a fine wine, women definitely mature with age, and range from the luscious Burgundy that is Nigella Lawson to Fern Britton, who can best be described as a cheeky Shiraz."
Top ten sexiest women over 50
1. Nigella Lawson 27%
2. Dame Helen Mirren - 18%
3. Lorraine Kelly - 13%
4. Jane Seymour - 11%
5. Susan Sarandon - 9%
6. Madonna - 8%
7. Twiggy - 6%
8. Fern Britton - 4%
9. Lulu - 2%
9. Jane Fonda - 2%

I just assembled my Lee and hopefully will do some loading this weekend. I have 2 questions I'm hoping someone can help me with.
1 - Does it matter which way I mount the powder cup on top of the auto disk powder measure?
2 - Since the dispenser uses a disk for measuring once I find the appropriate size disk, is there a need to re-weigh any charges? How can it vary since it's not a mechanical opening?

Children's House

Print Thing TagSummary
Children's House is designed to be assembled without nails, screws or bolts. It's a log cabin for the current century and technology and perhaps a new age of spiritual wisdom.
It has 11 bedrooms, 11 bathrooms, a large room with 30 single beds for children, a huge kitchen and an equally large social room. It is like none other. On youtube you can view the 3d walk-thru posted on this site plus two other videos at:
Right click the link and select 'open in new tab' or 'open in new window' to navigate to YouTube to access the other two videos.
If you download the CAD files and have the free CAD viewer from AutoDesk you can open the files and view the house from any angle, walk or fly thru the house or turn off layers to see how the boards connect (e.g., hiding the inside walls, outside walls, beams, roof, etc.).
You can also download CAD drawings showing each board's series of required cuts that must be made in a specified order; to both simplify and generalize the cuts for all boards as well as for the tools required to make notches, angle cuts, troughs, etc.
As it's designed now, the house is composed of ~7,000 pieces, like an intricate 3d jigsaw puzzle. Given all these boards, cut to specs, the structure is self-straightening, though not self-levelling. Unlike most houses, the entire structure could be disassembled and reassembled without tools (not including sub-systems, such as plumbing).
Comments and queries can be sent to [email protected]
The house requires both the main 'children's house' file (chouse 367.dwg), and the floor file (floor.dwg) referred to in the main file.
The floor block is mirrored and polar arrayed 8 times about the house, so there are cuts that weren't made; e.g., the wall support ('h' layer) notches in layer 'b'. Since they don't go into all 8 sections, the main file size would balloon if the floor section was copied to make only some have the notches (I'm not a cad pro, and because I don't want to be, this was already hard enough working in 3d). Without these cuts, the inside walls will not be supported and will not stand.
The roof structure without nails has not been designed except as 32 3d objects. I imagined the furniture being without nails as well and interlocked into the floor boards.

On 11/20/12, Granite Real Estate Inc (Toronto: GRT) will trade ex-dividend, for its quarterly dividend of $0.50, payable on 12/13/12. As a percentage of GRT's recent stock price of $35.07, this dividend works out to approximately 1.43%, so look for shares of Granite Real Estate Inc to trade 1.43% lower — all else being equal — when GRT shares open for trading on 11/20/12.
Below is a dividend history chart for GRT, showing historical dividends prior to the most recent $0.50 declared by Granite Real Estate Inc:
In general, dividends are not always predictable; but looking at the history above can help in judging whether the most recent dividend from GRT is likely to continue, and whether the current estimated yield of 5.70% on annualized basis is a reasonable expectation of annual yield going forward.
In Friday trading, Granite Real Estate Inc shares are currently up about 0.4% on the day.

1983 play arrives with its bracing energy, dark humor and tender spirit intact.
NEW YORK -- "We're merely mammals," Cole Porter observed in Let's Misbehave; but the monkeying around he had in mind was very different from the kind that Tom Sturridge demonstrates in the first Broadway production of Lyle Kessler's 1983 play Orphans (three and a half out of four stars).
The British actor is cast as Phillip, who lives with his brother, Treat, in an old row house in North Philadelphia. Abandoned early on by their father, then left to their own devices when their mother died, the two have worked out a system for looking after each other: Treat goes out and robs people, while Phillip stays shut in at home, watching old movies and game shows on TV and eating tuna fish.
Sturridge, in a mesmerizing, heartrending performance, makes the impact of living this way for more than a decade wrenchingly clear. His Phillip is a coil of restless energy and primal fear who literally leaps around -- from the staircase to the window to the sofa -- like a caged primate in a zoo. He also crawls and cowers, terrorized both by Treat and the thought of walking outside.
But Treat is no more civilized than his brother, which becomes obvious after he kidnaps Harold, a mysterious, wealthy older man played in this production, which opened Thursday at the Gerald Schoenfeld Theatre, by Alec Baldwin. Harold also came of age without parents; raised in an orphanage, he immediately identifies his captor as one of the "dead-end kids" he knew there -- and has little trouble turning the tables on him, so that Treat, portrayed by Ben Foster, ends up catering to his intended victim.
Harold sees Treat as having potential in the dubious field that has earned him a fortune, along with powerful enemies and a little black book full of women's names. But while he admires the kid's capacity for violence, he worries about his lack of control. Phillip, in contrast, earns his affection immediately, and vice versa. As Harold begins mentoring the boys -- a process that is by turns darkly funny and moving to behold -- it's Phillip who seems to blossom, while Treat grows frustrated by his increasing lack of influence in the house.
Under Daniel Sullivan's sharply intuitive direction, Baldwin brings a delightful comic esprit to his role, finding the aspirational Henry Higgins in a man who is essentially a gangster, and revealing both humor and pathos in Harold's paternal concern for the younger men. And Foster -- who replaced Shia LaBoeuf after the latter left the production amid rumors of discord, re-inforced by LaBoeuf's private Twitter messages to his co-stars and Sullivan -- reveals the scared boy behind Treat's brutish behavior.
It's a shame that it took 30 years to bring this briskly entertaining, deeply affecting play to Broadway; but at least Orphans has arrived in good hands.
