Noel's DIY Plywood iVictrola Speaker Project
Unplggd reader and MIT Architecture grad student, Noel Davis, found himself motivated to contact us after seeing Joel's DIY digital Lomography camera project, sending us his own impressive handiwork. Like Joel, Noel was lured by a beautiful piece of tech: the iVictrola's repurposed antiquated design is indeed a beautiful marriage of form and function. But the $1,000 price tag was out of Noel's budget, so he looked to an affordable (and more creative) solution...one involving a laser cutter, aircraft plywood and his own unique design!
Starting from a photo I'd seen of the iVictrola, I spent a Saturday scouring antique shops for a similar phonograph horn. Unfortunately I wasn't able to find one, and a search on eBay showed a few, but they were way too pricey for me. So I decided to make my own. I knew right away a circular cone would be too difficult, so I settled on a square one.
I did some reading on Wikipedia about horn loudspeakers, which are used to amplify the sound from a small driver (like the needle of a phonograph or the tiny speaker in a cell phone), especially the low frequencies. The article suggested that the cone should expand exponentially, so I made a test out of paper with the cross-sectional area increasing by 30% for every centimeter of the cone. The shape looked great, and it went together easily enough with scotch tape, but it didn't amplify the sound at all when I held it up to my phone. I think the paper was too flimsy.
Encouraged by the first attempt, I decided to make a similar cone out of wood. Instead of a straight cone, I opted for a more sculptural question mark shaped, like something out of Dr. Seuss, and similar to the phonograph horns I'd seen. The geometry was quite a bit more difficult, so I spent a day modeling the design in SketchUp to create the cut templates. Then I used a laser cutter (I'm a graduate student in MIT's Architecture Department, so I have access to some pretty nice tools!) to score and cut my templates out of 1/64" thick model aircraft plywood.
I bent and glued small strips of basswood along the edges of each side panel, and then used those to attach the top and bottom. Unfortunately the curve on the bottom panel was too tight for the plywood to bend, so I had to end up cutting that piece into smaller strips (you can see the facets on the bottom in some of the photos). It took an entire day and two rolls of masking tape to glue the cone together. When it was finished, I held the small end up to my phone to test it, and the amplification was immediately noticeable. The horn also gives the phone a nice hiss-crackle-pop sound like an old record player.
With the horn done, I made the base as a stack of laminated plates. This allowed me to leave a channel in the middle for the sound to pass from the phone's speaker into the bottom of the cone (shown in red). I cut out the base parts on the laser cutter, glued them together, and lined the iPhone dock with felt to seal around the speaker and keep the wood from scratching it.
That's it. The whole project took about 3 days, and $40 in materials (1/64" plywood is very expensive). I'm really excited about it. hough it's not as loud as I'd hoped, the old-timey sound is great, and it looks really cool on my desk!

Memphis-based Pinnacle Airlines Corp. is moving its headquarters to Minneapolis by May as part of its bankruptcy reorganization.
The regional air carrier announced the move out of One Commerce Square Downtown Thursday, Jan. 24, saying the new headquarters will be in vacant space leased by Delta Air Lines at the Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport.
Pinnacle president and CEO John Spanjers said the company considered staying at One Commerce Square, the Downtown office tower the company announced it was moving to in October 2010 after considering a move at that time to Olive Branch, Miss.
"We had the responsibility to explore every aspect of our business to find opportunities to reduce costs, including evaluating our property leases, to find the most economical options for Pinnacle," Spanjers said in the written statement. "Our analysis covered everything from the available labor pool and operational alignment to economic incentives. … In the end, it was an economic decision."
Memphis civic leaders made a big play for keeping Pinnacle just two years ago.
After a private discussion on the 29th floor of One Commerce Square to sell them on the merits of locating Downtown, board members descended to the One Commerce lobby for the October 2010 reception. "Pinnacle Land Here" was displayed on one wall of the lobby.
Pinnacle board members wore brightly colored nametags, making them easier to identify to socialize with.
During that discussion high atop One Commerce, among those in the room were Shelby County Mayor Mark Luttrell, Memphis Mayor A C Wharton Jr. and AutoZone founder "Pitt Hyde," all urging the company to choose Memphis.
No level of detail was too small to use to try to seal the deal. Downtown Memphis Commission president Paul Morris told the Pinnacle board members that employees' parking lot-to-office walk Downtown would be covered and air-conditioned.
To drive that point home, someone had thought to include at the bottom of one slide that day's heat index for the city: 110 degrees.
The lineup of that private presentation to Pinnacle board members that day in 2010 to convince them to pick One Commerce as the company's headquarters was such that Wharton went last. And he reportedly turned on the charm.
The moment reminded him, Wharton told the execs, of his days giving closing arguments to juries. This particular pitch, though, wasn't an argument at all, Wharton noted - just a conversation among people he hopes agree with him that Memphis would take care of Pinnacle, should the company choose to stay put.
Wharton said Thursday that while he is "disheartened" by Pinnacle's decision to leave Memphis, the city is working with others to attract new tenants for the skyscraper.
"I don't think this is any reflection on Memphis," Wharton added.
He also pointed out that the city gave no financial incentives directly to Pinnacle but instead to the local owners of the building who continue to own the building.
The Thursday decision caps a turbulent year for Pinnacle that included the company filing for bankruptcy reorganization in April in a stunning reversal of its fortunes in a larger industry changed forever by a spike in fuel prices.
Since the fall 2010 ceremony marking the move Downtown, Pinnacle has had four CEOs.
Pinnacle is the anchor tenant of One Commerce Square, which shifted to local ownership as part of the bid to keep Pinnacle in the city and move its headquarters from office space near Memphis International Airport to Downtown.
Pinnacle leased 170,000 square feet with 500 employees at the site.
Since Pinnacle's move to bankruptcy, local civic leaders have said a relocation by Pinnacle out of the city would not be a fatal blow to continuing efforts to keep the office tower occupied.
Paul Morris, president of the Downtown Memphis Commission, has said the Pinnacle move prompted other businesses to locate their offices at One Commerce Square creating their own momentum.
"If Pinnacle did leave, the city would still be better off having made possible the redevelopment of One Commerce Square," Morris told The Daily News in December. "We were at risk of having another major building in our skyline go dark. Now because the city acted, One Commerce Square is a premier office tower that helps attract businesses to Memphis and can be a source of pride in our skyline."
The coming move to vacant space held by Delta Airlines in Minneapolis cements already strong ties to Delta in Pinnacle's plan for recovery. Under the bankruptcy reorganization plan approved in Federal Bankruptcy Court in New York state earlier this month, Delta could take in Pinnacle as a wholly owned subsidiary as it emerges from bankruptcy. Pinnacle is heavily dependent on contracts with Delta to fly regional flights, dropping its contracts with other legacy global air carriers in bankruptcy reorganization to focus on the contracts with Delta.

The Impacts of DOT's Commercial Driver Hours of Service Regulations
Summary of Subject Matter
Opening Statements
Chairman Thomas E. Petri (R-WI)
Subcommittee on Highways and Transit
Hearing on "The Impacts of DOT's Commercial Driver Hours of Service Regulations"
June 18, 2013
Opening Statement
(Remarks as Prepared)
Today's hearing will focus on the U.S. Department of Transportation's (U.S. DOT) commercial driver hours of service regulations. On July 1st, property-carrying commercial drivers will be required to meet new hours of service regulations that will have significant impacts on a large segment of the trucking industry.
Truck drivers will be required to take a 30 minute rest break every 8 hours and will be able to restart their hours of service clock only once a week by not driving for a 34 hour stretch that includes two 1:00 a.m. to 5:00 a.m. periods.
FMCSA promulgated these new regulations in December 2011 with the intent to promote safety and to protect the health of drivers. By allowing drivers ample opportunity to get the proper amount of rest, the regulations are intended to help reduce crashes by reducing driver fatigue. Finding the right balance between providing drivers the opportunity to rest and the flexibility to account for unanticipated delays during the workday has been a challenge.
Since Congress directed the Department of Transportation to issue a rulemaking on commercial driver hours of service in 1995, the regulations have been in constant litigation which has led to confusion among the trucking industry and enforcement community. Every stakeholder that is impacted by hours of service regulations has passionate beliefs on the correct way to implement them, so it's no wonder that litigation has persisted.
The regulations that take effect on July 1 are currently being deliberated by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The real world implications of these new regulations are difficult to predict because of the diverse nature of the trucking industry. I'm receptive to the concerns of many of my constituents who argue that a one size fits all approach won't provide the flexibility some companies need to take the appropriate rest breaks. For example, I have been asked, if a driver is resting in a chair while waiting for a load to be unloaded or for some other reason and is technically on-duty but undisturbed for 30 minutes, why can't such a break be counted toward the 30 minute break requirement? Some specific trucking operations, such as oil field equipment operators, have a special exemption from some provisions of the hours of service regulations, but why not others with similar operating characteristics?
We most frequently hear concerns where driving is just one small part of the overall job responsibilities, and not the long-haul drivers who are away from home for several days at a time. For instance, I have heard from hundreds of drivers in Wisconsin who transport materials and equipment for highway construction who drive only 2 or 3 hours during a work day, but seemingly will be very much affected. Not only will the drivers themselves be impacted, but how our highway projects are completed will be affected as well. We will hear more about these specific concerns from one of our witnesses today.
I hope that today's discussion will focus attention on these issues and potentially lead to proposals that allow drivers to efficiently complete their jobs without compromising safety.
I am sure that safety is the primary goal of all of today's witnesses. Effective commercial driver hours of service regulations will help reduce fatigue-related truck crashes and save lives on our nation's highways. I hope today's hearing will provide our Committee Members with insight into this important national safety issue.

Yes, You Can Actually Bake Cookies In A Hot Car
During an oppressive heat wave, my cooking ranges from iced tea pops to cold pasta salads. But the fine folks at ThinkGeek and the Cedar Rapids Gazette are not me, and they combined heat and deliciousness in the pursuit of culinary science. They decided to find out whether you really can bake cookies by leaving them on the dashboard of a car. Verdict: Yes. And they are delicious.
The temperature inside the car ThinkGeek staffers used was at least 160 degrees (their thermometer failed) and cookies took five hours to become, as they put it, "tasty and scary."
The Gazette provided hourly progress photos, and cooked a sheet of cookies from packaged dough in four hours. They did not measure the interior temperature of the car. What was the end result? "Chewy, nicely crisp on the top and bottom and gooey inside," features editor Carly Weber wrote. "The perfect chocolate chip cookie."
Take note, struggling newspaper industry: this is the kind of news we can actually use.
Let this experiment also serve as a reminder: if you can actually cook food in a hot car, you shouldn't be leaving your pets or your kids unattended in one. Go ahead and leave your blobs of cookie dough, though. They'll be more than fine.

Training course develops expertise in investigating pharmaceutical crime
27 April 2012
SINGAPORE – Enhancing the capabilities of police, customs and health regulatory officials in investigating pharmaceutical crime was the focus of the first 'train the trainer' session under the umbrella of the Storm Enforcement Network.
The five-day course (23 – 27 April) is co-organized by INTERPOL's Medical Products Counterfeiting and Pharmaceutical Crime (MPCPC) Unit, the Health Sciences Authority (HSA) of Singapore and the Institute of Research Against Counterfeit Medical Products (IRACM) with the support of the WHO Western Pacific Regional Office.
In addition to being taught how to effectively detect and investigate pharmaceutical crime, the 24 participants from nine countries - Afghanistan, Cambodia, China, Laos, Malaysia, Myanmar, the Philippines, Thailand, and Singapore - took part in exercises based on pharmaceutical crime scenarios, and also visited scientific facilities and laboratories.
"Trafficking in illegal medicines has become such a lucrative trade that transnational syndicates are able to devise a whole range of ways and means to enable their illegal activities. It is only through close collaborative efforts to share timely intelligence and operational know-how that enforcement and regulatory agencies in different jurisdictions will be better positioned to stem this growing threat," said Associate Professor John Lim CEO of HSA Singapore.
Aline Plançon, Head of INTERPOL's Medical Counterfeit and Pharmaceutical Crime Unit said the session, the first in a series of joint training programmes, was an important step forward in the development of the Storm Enforcement Network.
In June 2011, INTERPOL and HSA Singapore signed a cooperation agreement to provide investigation and testing training and to develop activities to facilitate enhanced and cutting-edge training activities on the prevention and suppression of fake and illicit medical products.

Boasting miles of seemingly endless white-sand and an almost bottomless ocean of cerulean-blue water, the allure of the The Emerald Coast is undeniable. While most can appreciate its breathtaking beauty, it takes a particular person to harness the aesthetic value of the ocean. Brittany Smith is one of those people � having turned her love of everything tropical into a lucrative business.
Destiny � kismet even, was the driving force behind Smith�s creative business venture. Smith, a longtime Destin resident, began making jewelry about eight years ago as a hobby when it was too cold outside to go to the beach.
"I started making bracelets and rings out of the shells and sea glass I had collected," said Smith. Eventually, word of Smith�s unique marine jewelry leaked out and Bella Beach Jewels was born.
Officially hitting the market in 2009, Smith began selling her jewelry on Etsy.com at Bella Beach Jewelry. Following the online debut of Bella Beach Jewels, Smith began attracting the attention of jewelry and ocean aficionados worldwide. Boutique owners began contacting Smith from all four-corners of the world and orders quickly started pouring in.
"People wanted to sell my jewelry in their shops," said Smith. "My pieces started selling in the Hawaiian Islands, Italy, France and Australia."
According to Smith, her beachy brand "is for free spirits and salty souls."
Rivaling the finely ground quartz crystals that give Northwest Florida beaches their iconic white-sand shores, Smith prides herself on using quality materials the ocean produces. In addition to the seashells and sea glass Smith uses in her creations, shark�s teeth are also repurposed and made into one-of-a-kind jewelry collectibles.
Each piece, whether it�s one of Bella Beach Jewels more popular sea glass cuff bracelets or the always in-demand seashell rings, is entirely handmade by Smith.
From beginning to end, "I solder, buff and polish each piece at my house," said Smith.
Another hot item on her website is the hand-stamped, nautical bracelets that she adorns with customer�s coordinates. Parents often give the bracelets to their teenagers who are leaving home for the first time.
"They ask for Destin's coordinates so their children can always find their way home, which I think is a really sweet sentiment," Smith said.
With Bella Beach Jewels prices vary from $6 to more than $200.
In 2012, Smith and Bella Beach Jewels attracted even more international attention when professional Roxy paddleboarder Vanina Walsh was photographed sporting the brand�s beachy bangles in a popular surf magazine, and again at several highly-publicized contests such as the Stand Up Paddle World Tour in Turtle Bay Hawaii.
Possible good luck charms for Walsh during competitions? "I like to think so!" said Smith.
Although Bella Beach Jewels isn�t currently sold in any local stores, all of her pieces can be found on her Bella Beach Jewelry Etsy.com page or at her online shop, bellabeachjewels.com.
Smith said the most exciting break for her and her collection came last winter when Free People � Urban Outfitters sister brand � contacted her about picking up her jewelry line for their online store at freepeople.com
Smith told The Log there are even more exciting endeavors in the works for Bella Beach Jewels in the near future, like an upcoming partnership with major swimwear company L*SPACE.
Bella Beach Jewels is inspired "by a love of the ocean, travel and the pursuit of an endless summer of sunshine, seashells, bikinis, bright colors, tan skin, salty hair and sandy feet," said Smith. "They are jewels that can take you from salty days to balmy summer nights."

All News Releases By Date
Idaho's Small Scale Placer Miners will need a General Discharge Permit under EPA's Proposal to Protect Idaho's Rivers and Streams
Release Date: 02/19/2010
Contact Information: Mike Lidgard, EPA/Seattle, 206-553-1755, firstname.lastname@example.com Jeff Philip, 206-553-1465, email@example.com
Informational Workshops Scheduled for Grangeville, Boise, Salmon and Idaho Falls
(Seattle, Wash. – February 19, 2010) Operators of small suction dredges who mine for gold in Idaho will need to apply for a general water quality discharge permit under EPA's latest proposal to better protect the state's rivers and streams.
If implemented as proposed, the new General Permit will cover placer mining operations in Idaho using small suction dredges with an intake nozzle of 5 inches in diameter or less and using motors or engines rated at 15 horsepower or less. It will be administered under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES), the federal program that controls the discharge of pollutants into U.S. waters. When issued, the new permit will require implementation of best management practices, will specify when and where suction dredgers may operate, and will establish other terms and conditions on the operation of small suction dredges.
According to Jim Werntz, EPA Idaho State Director in Boise, the proposed permit is necessary to protect the health and integrity of Idaho streams and rivers, and follows up on a commitment EPA made to miners to develop this permit.
"We know Idaho's recreational and small-scale gold miners want to do the right thing," said EPA's Werntz. "We believe this general permit, in addition to the State's permitting efforts, will establish requirements to prevent damage to our rivers and streams. Smaller headwater habitats and spawning areas are especially fragile. Permitting creates clear, enforceable expectations and guidance to protect them."
Four Informational Workshops Scheduled in February
To explain and discuss the new permit proposal, informational workshops will be held on the following locations:
|Nez Perce National
|104 Airport Road
Grangeville, ID
|February 22, 2010
4 pm – 7 pm
|Idaho Department of Environmental Quality Conference Room C
|1410 N. Hilton
Boise, ID
|February 23, 2010
2 pm – 5 pm
|Salmon-Challis National Forest
|1206 S. Challis Street
Salmon, ID
|February 24, 2010
4 pm - 7 pm
|Idaho Department of Fish and Game
|4279 Commerce Circle
Idaho Falls, ID
|February 25, 2010
3 pm – 6 pm
At the workshops, participants can get more detailed information, ask questions and learn first- hand about the permit requirements.
Persons wishing to submit comments on the draft general permit must do so by March 8, 2010. Copies of the draft permit and fact sheet may be found on the internet at the following website: https://yosemite.epa.gov/R10/water.nsf/NPDES+Permits/Permits+Homepage

April 19, 2009
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. – In its final meet before next weekend's New England Women's and Men's Athletic Conference (NEWMAC) Championship, the MIT men's track and field team took first place out of 13 teams at the Springfield Invitational on Saturday. The Engineers had a strong showing in the distance events and won seven events overall en route to the team title.
The Cardinal and Grey secured one-two finishes in the 1500, 3000m Steeplechase and the 10,000 meters and earned 62 of its 199.50 team points in those three events. Yermie Cohen and Hemagiri Arumugam raced each other right to the wire in the 1500, with Cohen crossing the finish just 0.52 seconds faster with a time of 4:01.00. Paul Welle captured the 3000m Steeplechase in convincing fashion, finishing in 9:34.73, almost 14 seconds faster than second-place teammate Richard Prevost. Jake Ruzevick then earned first-place points at 10,000 meters with a time of 32:52.51.
Junior All-American Stephen Morton swept the triple and long jumps while reaching the provisional qualifying distance for the NCAA Championship in the latter. Morton had his best showings of the spring in both events, jumping 23-6.00 feet in the long jump, more than 10 inches better than the runner-up. He also took first in the triple jump with a 46-3.50 foot effort.
Tech's other event winners were Greg Tao in the pole vault and Vladimir Sobes with the javelin. Tao led a sweep of the one through four positions in the vault, clearing 14-2.75 feet. Cyrus Vafadari, Nate Sharpe and Davey Hunt rounded out the top four. Sobes won his event with a throw of 176-8.00 feet.
MIT's overall depth was too much for second-place Westfield State to overcome, as the Engineers outscored the Owls 199.50-129. Host Springfield College finished in third with 98.50 points.
The Cardinal and Grey will look to secure its ninth straight NEWMAC Championship next Saturday. The meet, hosted by Mount Holyoke College, begins at 11:00 a.m.

Russell Wilson was nothing short of legendary today, but I am now ready to concede for the first time this season that Seattle's defense needs a kick in the ass, from its starters right on up to its defensive coordinator. It's pretty bizarre that we started the season with Wilson being unworthy of our defense and then flip-flopped, but that's where we are.
It's true that Seattle allowed only 17 points and held up at crucial moments, but the cracks in the foundation were far more visible today than they've been all season. I could give you a list of individual breakdowns as long as...well, something really long. Earl Thomas whiffing on a tackle of a QB. Kam dropping a pick and slipping on another tackle of a QB. Alan Branch hitting a downed QB and generally being a totally ineffective pass rusher (been saying it all season). Richard Sherman losing his head and trying to pick off a hail mary instead of downing it (the exact same mistake that cost Green Bay in the Goldengate game). Dumb penalties. Brandon Browner proving utterly useless against a #1 receiver (though credit the Bears for getting Brandon Marshall good matchups). Bruce Irvin, still on a milk carton, though his acquisition did win us a crucial game in Carolina. A couple of moments where our defensive line just flat-out gave up on plays. That was all WITHOUT Leroy Hill and Marcus Trufant hanging around.
And the constant soft zone defense during three-man rushes against five offensive linemen...if you dislike Marshall owning our secondary, THAT play-calling is the reason. I was being driven absolutely insane watching Jay Cutler stand in the pocket untouched with five seconds to throw all day long. That is exactly how to let him win. Give him credit for his accuracy and his chemistry with Marshall; it's a top-flight combination and should be expected to pull out some tough stick throws. But when Seattle cannot muster even the slightest pass rush against an O-line so beat up that they're relying on depth players underneath Chris Spencer, something is wrong. Either Bradley knows we don't have the LB's to blitz, or he's just scared to do it. (It could well be the first.) As for Jason Jones, he now falls under my newly minted Josh Wilson Rule - "If there is debate over whether a player is good, he probably isn't."
The good: Amazingly, Seattle held the Bears to only two completions of over twenty yards, their per-game average this season. That is the pride of this defense, and it was good to see them get back to it after giving up six to Ryan friggin' Tannehill. Also, the run defense returned dramatically. Seattle got some crucial stops. Malcolm Smith played well in relief of Leroy Hill (possible starter, just as I'd hoped?). Bobby Wagner still looks like a solid player in any venue.
But those two Bears scoring drives where Cutler strung together devastating intermediate passes - not unsustainable dink and dunk, but damaging zone throws - and the fact that he managed a 9.0 YPA is just bad. Today was a much worse performance than our other defensive gaffes. It looked like 2009 again. Additionally, Cutler missed on some deep throws to wide-open Bears receivers that had beaten the secondary, and Chicago suffered from two second-half drives that ended in give-up draw plays on 3rd-and-long that looked almost Holmgren-esque. Exact same kind of conservative play-calling that doomed Seattle last week. I'd love to say that Seattle did just enough defense to win like they always do, but this time, it felt different. The Seahawks were committing mistakes at the worst possible times against the worst possible opponent; the Bears just left a lot of points on the field.
Seattle's defense is looking tired and undisciplined. The mistakes are bizarre and unworthy of the talent level. I've been wondering lately if the unit is just breaking down late in the season after being asked to carry so many early games while Russell Wilson developed. They have a get-well game next week against Arizona, but will lose its two starting cornerbacks. Wilson managed to bail them out against the league's #1 defense and a refereeing crew that they'd obviously bribed, but he and Marshawn Lynch need to stay healthy if they have any hope of a playoff run.
It is time for this D to get over its "hard-hitting, physical" reputation and start playing sound football again. There have been too many fundamental breakdowns by guys try to make highlight reel plays. We know this defense can play well. Now it's time to get back there.

Brad Richards and Chris Kreider also scored for New York, which has won 11 of the last 12 meetings with Philadelphia. Rangers coach John Tortorella became the 30th coach in NHL history to reach 400 wins, and his team maintained its hold on the eighth and final playoff spot in the Eastern Conference standings.
Wayne Simmonds and Jakub Voracek scored for Philadelphia, which lost for the third time in four games against New York this season and fell further out of the playoff race. The Flyers began the day in 13th place, five points behind the Rangers.
New York went ahead 3-0 with just more than 14 minutes left in the second period when Stepan scored on a backhander. Nash dumped the puck toward the net and found a wide-open Stepan, who deked Ilya Bryzgalov and had an empty net in front of him.
Just 2½ minutes earlier, Richards beat Bryzgalov high to the glove side on a one-timer from the point on the power play, giving the Rangers a 2-0 advantage.
Philadelphia netted its first goal with 2:07 left in the second period when Simmonds scored from close range on the power play to pull the Flyers to 3-1. Voracek's initial shot from the point went off the post and to Claude Giroux, who redirected it in front of the crease to Simmonds.
Then the Flyers closed to 3-2 at 7:28 of the final period when Voracek scored on a deflection in front of Rangers goalie Henrik Lundqvist. Bruno Gervais won the faceoff back to Giroux, who one-timed it off Voracek and past Lundqvist, who finished with 32 saves.
But the Rangers answered just more than two minutes later when Nash scored his second of the night on a wraparound. Assists went to Carl Hagelin and Stepan, pushing New York's lead back to two goals.
The Rangers struck first with 5:06 remaining in the opening period when Nash's wrister from the slot beat Bryzgalov high on the stick side.
NOTES: Nash's first goal was the 300th of his career. ... New York has outscored Philadelphia 46-20 in their last 12 meetings. ... Before the game, the Flyers honored defenseman Kimmo Timomen for recently eclipsing 1,000 games played. The 14-year veteran received several gifts from the club, including a Tiffany crystal, a Rolex watch, a painting and a stick embossed with silver. ... Five children from Flyers owner Ed Snider's Youth Hockey Foundation took part in a question-and-answer session with President Barack Obama at the White House on Tuesday.

Has nothing to do with Apple. In fact it's an open standard called OpenFirmware. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Openfirmware
Problem for user is: It's not massmarket, considered "professional" and therefore expensive.
Theoretically one could plug in f.e. a Sun Graphics-Card instead of the orginal Apple. Practically it possibly won't work because of physically different slots (S-Bus/PCI), electrically different slots, and optionally different signaloutputs. I mean, of what use would a 13W3plug be instead of VGA or DVI? ;-) Even if, it would only be good for the "console", as soon as Graphics kick in the need for a OS-X-Driver arises.
Another option would be to simply flash the Bios of a PC-Card with the Bios of an Apple-Card, given one had the Bios which a friend would dump into a file. This works if the cards are really identical and do not divert from the "reference design", Chip/Ramclock, and so on. But this is deep "Overclocking Territory" and of no use to someone who doesn't want to deal with stuff like that in 2008 anymore :-)
Which is understandable, but i have to shrug my shoulders then. Either pay in money, or in time by fiddling with stuff :-)
Edit: While thinking about it. With Linux or some BSD i could at least plug in some Sun PCI-Framebuffer as addition, and have it working under X-Org.

The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is initiating a new program to obtain clones and the full-length sequence for cDNAs representing each human gene, as well as for genes from the mouse and possibly other mammals. This will be a multi-institute effort that will build a publicly accessible resource of sequences and clones, along with associated informatics tools, which is anticipated to be a key platform for biomedical research. Libraries that have a significant proportion of full-length or near full-length clones are being constructed, and it is anticipated that a large number of clones will be available for sequencing in the near future. One of the activities of the NIH Full-Length cDNA initiative is evaluation of the quality of currently available libraries, development and assessment of additional libraries enriched for full-length cDNA clones, and identification of a unique set of full-length, cDNA clones. To accommodate the demand for sequencing these cDNA clones, it will be necessary to establish sequencing centers with demonstrated ability to sequence cDNA clones cost-effectively and at high throughput.
The specific goal of this project is to determine the sequence of 5,000 clones the first year, and to develop the overall capacity to scale to 20,000 full-length mammalian cDNAs annually by 2001 and to make the sequence data publicly available in a timely manner. Organizations interested in participating in the establishment of high-throughput, efficient and cost-effective sequencing centers, with the intent of building the capability for rapidly sequencing the complete set of human, mouse and possibly other mammalian full-length cDNAs are requested to send or e-mail letters of interest to the addresses contained herein. Multiple multi-year awards are anticipated.

The human side of the big money behind the marijuana amendment
Here's a must-read from the Tampa Bay Times' Stephen Nohlgren on the unlikely relationship between John Morgan and Sheldon Adelson, the two big-money sources behind the Amendment 2 medical marijuana campaigns:
Trial lawyer John Morgan — whose outsized persona is already etched onto Florida's consciousness — said medical marijuana has boosted his celebrity even higher.
At the Orlando airport last week, eight to 10 people stopped him between the plane and his car to thank him for bankrolling the constitutional amendment to legalize medical marijuana, Morgan said. "Two or three wanted to have their pictures taken with me."
However, none of that hoopla surprised Morgan as much as an email that arrived three months ago from Nevada.
It came from casino mogul Sheldon Adelson, who had just donated $2.5 million to defeat Amendment 2 — instantly counterbalancing Morgan's wealth in the fight over medical pot.
"I was stunned,'' Morgan said. "He told me that I was all wrong.''
With his typical thick skin and glib patter, Morgan was delighted to respond — setting off an ongoing email exchange that now has the two titans on a first name basis, and a possible face-to-face meeting next month in Las Vegas.
"I like him a lot. He's a self-made man,'' said Morgan, 58. "He's is one of the most generous men on the face of the earth.''
Adelson, 81, did not respond to requests for comment on his marijuana stance or the emails he and Morgan have exchanged.
But Adelson's background provides a glimpse into what may have motivated one of the world's richest people to jump into the medical marijuana fray.
In 2005, Adelson's 48-year-old son Mitchell died in Fort Myers. Adelson's wife Miriam told Israel's Haaretz newspaper that her stepson, a long-time heroin and cocaine addict, overdosed. More here.

Returning to Westeros
When I was sixteen, my parents and I set off on a road trip up the coast of California to look at a few potential college campuses. Before heading out, however, we stopped at Barnes & Noble at the Grove so I could blow a gift card on a bunch of new books. (Reading in the car is a skill that I have sadly lost to time, and not just because now I'm usually the one driving.)

THDL Toolbox > Tibetan Texts > Overview Of Tibetan Text Processing
Overview Of Tibetan Text Processing
Contributor(s): David Germano.
This page provides an overview of the various issues involved with working with Tibetan texts in a digital context. It is very discursive, and not intended at all to be a manual. For manuals, go to Tibetan Texts and explore specific documentation. This page is instead intended to orient people to the various issues pertaining to working with Tibetan texts. Each section is given in terms of the typical sequence in which they would be addressed if one was comprehensively dealing with a given text or body of texts.
Cataloging a Tibetan Text
The first step is to catalog a Tibetan text to create a catalog or bibliographical record. This entails documenting its various titles, the various agents involved with the text (author, translator, editor, etc.), its pagination, and so forth. Such cataloging can be done at various levels, i.e. shallow and deep, or somewhere in between. The most basic or shallow cataloging records, for example, might simply record a title, an author, and pagination/volume information; the most detailed cataloging records will record all variants of titles, input the colophon and comprehensively analyze it, and also input all chapter titles, among other things. Another important issue of cataloging is the assignment of a unique identification code, or "siglum" (plural: sigla), to the text for short-hand reference purposes. Such cataloging is especially helpful for anthologies, compilations, and canons which involve multiple texts in a single volume, often with different authors, whereas available catalogs may only provide a brief reference for the collection as a whole.
Once a text has been cataloged, others can then easily search a larger catalog to find the text, and then from there locate physical copies and so forth. In addition, within THDL, a catalog establishes the basis for establishing a "thematic research collection" devoted to publishing all relevant materials about this text. The catalog thus becomes a front end to access editions of the text, translations, summaries, scholarship, scans, and much more.
Outlining a Tibetan Text
Tibetan Buddhist and Bönpo texts are often characterized by a very clear and detailed internal outline (sa bcad) which constitutes a hierarchical scheme of sections, subsections, sub-subsections and so on that can descend to up to 10 subordinate levels or more. They in effect are a table of contents, but with far more levels than most contemporary books possess. Scholars often extract these outlines as a preliminary step to working on a text, since viewing the outline by itself can be extremely useful in understanding the text's scope and structure, as well as in quickly locating items of interest. Such outlines can be generated as free standing documents to share with others, but also can be best included in a deep cataloging record. If the full Tibetan text is being input, then the outline is also used to generate a structural mark up of that text which can then be used to display the input text with a navigatable outline.
Scanning a Tibetan Text
Scanning involves taking an image of a Tibetan text with a camera or scanner. The advantage of such scanning is that it is far more rapid than the input of a text, plus one has complete assurance as to what the original manuscript actually has for readings, whereas with an input text one never knows whether one might be reading typos. The disadvantage of course is that one cannot easily search such texts, nor format them in flexible ways. The most useful way to publish scans is to do a detailed table of contents of the text, so that users can access scanned manuscript images while reading the table of contents, and easily jump to various chapters/pages within the scans. Otherwise, simply have a scan with no such system can be cumbersome to consult other than simply printing it out and using it as a means to get one's own print version of the text.
Inputting and Marking up a Tibetan Text
The most time consuming yet powerful to reproduce a Tibetan text is by actually typing it into the computer word by word. One of the most important aspects of this work is proofing, since a badly input edition full of typos is a great disservice to everyone.
A separate issue is creating critical editions, in which one compares various readings and makes critical decisions as to which of a given set of variant readings is correct in each case.
In addition to inputting it, one might also choose to add extensive markup which identifies the different structural components of a text - this is a homage, this is chapter two, this is a colophon, this is verse, this is a citation, etc. - as well as different thematic types of words - this is a text title, a person's name, etc. Such markup of a text can be just as time consuming as the original input, but does add extensively to utility of such input texts in terms of publication formatting and searching/analysis.
- Inputting a Tibetan Text
- Marking up Tibetan Text in Word with Styles
- Tibetan Text Section Labels for Structural Markup
Converting Input Tibetan Texts into XML
Once a volume of texts have been input, they can be converted into XML. Preferably, they should be marked up in Word styles prior to conversion, but this is not always required. The only required "mark-up" for conversion are the metadata table and the page and line numbers. A single text or a whole volume of texts may be converted in the same batch manner using the latest Word to XML converter. This process requires the use of a Windows machine.
Summarizing a Tibetan Text
Long before anyone translates a text or analyzes it in great detail, it is relatively easy and straightforward for a knowledgeable scholar to summarize the text's contents, perhaps chapter by chapter. Such quick summaries are of great use to others and can radically open up entire corpuses to scholars and non-scholars. In other words, an expert on a given body of texts could easily spend a few days generating reliable and clear summaries of texts, or even chapters within texts, and then these summaries can be published as indexed from the catalog records for those texts.
Scholarly Analysis of a Tibetan Text
Scholarly analysis involves going beyond simple text or chapter summaries to interpretative and analytical engagement with a text, or often multiple texts. In other words, these are essays that can range from article to book length.
Translating a Tibetan Text
Translation of a Tibetan text into other languages involves creating an English version of the text in digital format, and linking that to the original text's pagination.

Graves of Confederate soldiers in Riverside Cemetery
|Cemetery and census records at the Christian County library
Recently, I received an email from a gentleman with Christian County (KY) roots who works at a Hong Kong university. He asked some questions about the Camp Alcorn Confederate graves in Hopkinsville, which he is researching. I didn't know the answers, but I looked up some things at the Christian County library and sent him the information that I was able to find.
Two memorials to Confederate soldiers
While finding the information this gentleman wanted and corresponding with him, I learned more about the two Confederate memorials at Riverside Cemetery. Those memorials are:
1) The Latham Confederate Monument to unknown Confederate soldiers, erected during the 1880s by John C. Latham, a wealthy New York banker and Hopkinsville native, and
2)The Camp Alcorn Cemetery, where 293 Confederate soldiers are memorialized with individual gravestones.
Latham Confederate Monument imagined and realized
The Latham Confederate Monument has an interesting history. Mr. John C. Latham was a Hopkinsville boy who went to New York and became wealthy but never forgot his hometown. He gave many donations of land and money to make Hopkinsville a better place, even though he no longer lived here.
The booklet, The Story of a Monument: Memorial of the Unveiling of the Monument to the Unknown Confederate Dead, May 19, 1887, at Hopkinsville, Ky, tells the story of the Latham Confederate Monument. In 1886, John C. Latham visited his father's grave at Riverside Cemetery. A friend pointed out an overgrown area in the old part of the cemetery where the Camp Alcorn soldiers were buried. Mr. Latham, a Confederate Army veteran and a good-hearted man, was troubled that their graves were unmarked and untended.
|The Latham Confederate Monument
Latham bought a large triangular site, on a high spot in the new part of the cemetery. The graves of the Camp Alcorn soldiers were opened, and such remains as could be found were moved to the new site. A large granite monument with four bronze plaques was made in Maine and shipped to Hopkinsville. It was dedicated and presented to the City of Hopkinsville on May, 19, 1887.
Discovery of the notebook
Another decade went by. Then, in 1899, Mr. Harry C. Gant, president of the Bank of Hopkinsville, was going through an old desk at the bank. In it, he discovered a notebook that had belonged to George K. Anderson, a Confederate soldier from Cotton Gin, Texas. It contained 213 deceased soldiers' names, and for each, the location in the cemetery where he was buried. Also, the record included 15 unnamed soldiers of Camp Alcorn and their final resting places. Apparently when Anderson's unit left Hopkinsville, the notebook was placed at the bank for safekeeping -- and there it stayed, forgotten for almost 40 years.
Of course, by the time the notebook was found in 1899, the remains of the soldiers had already been moved from their original graves. They had been reburied together in a circle around the Latham Confederate Monument, making it impossible to assign a name to any gravesite or set of bones.
Tombstones erected by Sons of Confederate Veterans
John C. Latham's goal of giving these fallen soldiers the dignity that they deserve was completed by the Camp Alcorn Cemetery memorial, erected by a local chapter of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. It honors 293 Confederate soldiers who died at Camp Alcorn with individual markers that give their names, military information, and dates of death if known.
|Gravestones at the Camp Alcorn cemetery memorial
I don't know all of the sources the Sons of Confederate Veterans used in ascertaining the names of the 293 soldiers. (According to a newspaper report at the time of the discovery of the notebook, it revealed the identities of 101 men. This report seems to be in error because the notebook actually contained the names and burial sites of 227 men.) I also don't know if the tombstones were erected on the site of the original cemetery.
When I looked through the Camp Alcorn information in the Riverside Cemetery book. I was saddened to see that many of the dead Kentucky soldiers had enlisted in Hopkinsville. I suppose they were local fellows who came to town and signed up with the Confederate Army. They moved into the camp, and soon thereafter, fell ill and died from one of the several deadly diseases that were circulating through the troops that winter.
Note: On 3/15/2011, corrections were made, regarding the number of names in the notebook.

- The First Presbyterian Church in Hopkinsville and other Hopkinsville churches were used as hospitals for the Confederate soldiers who fell ill at camp.

Top Programs and Events at the Denver Museum of Nature
& Science in September and October
NEW! A Day in Pompeii
Opens Friday, September 14
What nature destroyed, it also preserved. Hundreds of
exceptional artifacts offer an insider's glimpse into the daily
life-and tragic end-of this ancient Roman city that was destroyed
by the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD 79. These archaeological
treasures lay buried in Pompeii's ruins, preserved as if sealed in
a time capsule. Highlights include marble and bronze sculptures,
jewelry, gold coins, everyday household items, and more. Visitors
will uncover the treasures of a city steeped in legend, examine
casts of the volcano's victims frozen in their last moments, and
discover the power of volcanoes past and present.
NEW! Deep Sea 3D
Opens Friday, October 5
Dive deep and swim with some of the most extraordinary sea
creatures ever seen on the IMAX 3D screen. Deep Sea 3D is
an underwater adventure that transports audiences way down below
the ocean surface. Encounter some of nature's mysterious and
colorful creatures, from the unusual wolf eel to the giant Pacific
octopus to the fearsome-looking sand tiger shark. Discover their
peculiar and amazing behavior, and how they rely on one another for
survival. Narrated by Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet, with an
original score by Danny Elfman, Deep Sea 3D takes viewers
on a magical journey to places that most have never been.
Space Junk 3D
Now Showing
After 50 years of launching our dreams into space, we now face a
troubling legacy: a growing ring of orbiting debris from various
rockets and satellites.Space Junk 3Dis a visually explosive,
sensory-expanding voyage into our now-threatened "final frontier."
Experience mindboggling collisions, both natural and human-made, as
you soar from the stunning depths of Meteor Crater in Arizona to an
unprecedented view of our increasingly crowded orbits-22,000 miles
above Earth.
NEW! SuperVolcanoes
SuperVolcanoes explores rare types of volcanic
eruptions that marshal the energy that lurks, like a sleeping
dragon, beneath the surface of planet Earth. In this unique
immersive experience, audiences will explore the impact of
volcanism on Earth and other worlds in our solar system. Can a
supervolcano erupt in our own time? The answer is surprisingly
close to home.
Realm of Light

Missions to Titan: The Enigmatic Moon of
Tuesday, September 11, 7 p.m., $8 member, $10
Titan expert Patricia M. Beauchamp will reveal how missions to
Saturn's moon have revolutionized our understanding of the Titan
system and its potential for harboring life. Voyager and
Cassini-Huygens have shown that Titan is rich in organics, has
liquid lakes of methane
ethane in the northern latitudes and vast dune fields nearer the
equator, likely contains an enormous subsurface ocean, and has
energy sources to drive chemical evolution. Beauchamp will discuss
these discoveries and hopes for future missions to explore Titan as
a prebiotic chemical system that creates an environment comparable
to early Earth. Beauchamp is a chemist and works at the Jet
Propulsion Laboratory developing missions to outer planets.
Sponsored in part by the NASA Astrobiology Institute.
Bacchus Raucous-A Party in Pompeii
Friday, September 28, 7:30-11 p.m., $38 member, $43

"What if I could stage gigs around the world to raise money for autism research". A cause incredibly close to his heart since youngest son, Nikhil, was diagnosed with the condition in 2011. And so it began; launching in 2014 with an invite only performance in London with none other than the musical icon Prince, who is sadly no longer with us. Sanjay Shah has gone to involve Autism Rocks as the charity of choice at private shows with Lenny Kravitz, Michael Bublè and Drake to name a few, and he's only just getting started!

Ex-Bus Driver Accused of Slapping Boy Reaches Deal
BLUE EARTH (AP) — A former Minnesota school bus driver accused of slapping a 6-year-old passenger has agreed to a deal with the prosecutor.
Under the agreement, the prosecutor will dismiss the complaint against 72-year-old Jane Brooks if Brooks has no assault or disorderly conduction violations for a year.
If Brooks fails, the prosecutor could reinstate criminal proceedings.
Prosecutor Troy Timmerman says Brooks does not have to enter a plea or admit to any wrongdoing.
Brooks was charged with fifth-degree assault after she allegedly slapped a boy across the face after he hit and spit at other children in September.
Brooks resigned as a Blue Earth Area Schools bus driver in October.
Brooks' attorney did not immediately return a phone message Wednesday.

Oh, I don't know. It should be. The pattern comes in a range of sizes already so it's a case of continuing to scale it up I guess. I did actually find an adults flat cap pattern before I found this one which might just be easier: http://nicolemdesign.blogspot.co.uk/2012/12/the-new-flat-cap-pattern-and-magazine.html
