Bavarian Health Monitoring Units (GME): Concept and first results
Search Medline for
|September 8, 2005
Starting in summer 2004, health monitoring units (GME) were established at selected local health authorities in Bavaria. GME are a cooperation between these local health authorities, the Bavarian Health and Food Safety Authority (LGL) and external partners from universities on behalf of the Bavarian Ministry for Environment, Health and Consumer Protection (StMUGV). Within the network tasks of the LGL are project coordination and data management besides planning and realisation of specific scientific projects. The GMEs aim is to gain current and relevant health data in Bavaria by systematic and standardized data collection. Moreover an additional focus includes testing, evaluating and further development of intervention and prevention strategies.
First survey 2004/2005: "Children's environment and health"
The survey was embedded in the medical examination for school enrolment in Bamberg, Guenzburg, Ingolstadt, Munich and Schwandorf. Data were collected by a self-administered questionnaire distributed to parents of preschool children (aged 5 to 7 years).
The study population covers approximately 9000 children.
The objectives of the survey are to gather representative and valid data for Bavaria on:
- children's exposure to indoor and outdoor air pollutants from different sources,
- the impact of housing conditions on the occurrence of respiratory diseases, injuries by traffic accidents and obesity in children,
- the prevalence of accidents and accident caused injuries and their sociodemographic determinants,
- social inequalities in children's environmental exposures and health,
- the connection between children´s physical activity and nutrition and the prevalence of obesity
First results will be presented at the meeting.
The insights gained within the GME-project will contribute to the identification and quantification of health risks of Bavarian children. Additionally, intervention strategies with special focus on local health authorities in Bavaria will be derived and established. The GMEs are expected to contribute important insights for political prevention and health promotion measures in Bavaria.

Another Smoky Day
The latest information (11AM ,10/8/2012) from the Missoula City/County Health Department says the air In the Missoula Valley was unhealthy for sensitive groups as of mid-day Monday. In the Bitterroot Valley it was unhealthy for all groups. The majority of the smoke is coming from the Powell SBW complex and other fires burning Idaho. Fire officials say only fall rains will bring an end to the burning and the smoke.

Employers Misusing Monitoring Tech; Decreasing Productivity
from the sounds-familiar dept
Plenty of people have been saying it for years, but Microsoft has now put together a group of studies that show that all those companies emphasizing how much they use tech to monitor their employees are misguided. In micromanaging and spying on employees, they're actually decreasing productivity, mainly by forcing employees to do things just to show that they're working, rather than having them actually do their jobs. It's amazing how far a little trust can take you. If an employee isn't getting the job done, deal with that -- you don't need to see if they dotted all their "I"s and crossed all their "T"s in the last hour.

Back in the good old days when the Internet was still in its tween years (perhaps it still is), Eolas and the University of California secured a patent that effectively claimed "I Did This!" rights for third-party browser plugins; the patent essentially allowed for programs running within other programs. Not long afterwards, Eolas sued Microsoft for violating the patent in the company's ActiveX plugin. After a ridiculous amount of time of legal squabbling even after the suit's "finish" in 2003, the two companies settled on an agreement in 2007.
Well, Eolas is back at it again, suing 23 companies of varying caliber for the exact same patent from before as well as a new budding money-maker that "allows websites to add fully-interactive embedded applications to their online offerings through the use of plug-in and AJAX;" this second patent builds off of the original patent. Some of the most prestigious companies included in the suage (I invented a word, so sue me) bombardment are Google, Apple, Adobe, Amazon, eBay, Yahoo!, and YouTube.
How this actually gets interesting instead of being just another patent troll swinging his club at the nearest deep-pocketed competitor is that Eolas actually won a hefty half a billion US dollars with this patent already. Tried and true, this patent doesn't make just another throw-away case-- if Eolas did it once, then what's to say that they can't get away with it again? This patent could be the key to sucking a lot of cash out of many of the companies in question, not to mention affect a lot of things in the browser and website industry that we take for granted.
Mike McKool, one of Eolas' lawyers, said that "what distinguishes this case from most patent suits is that so many established companies named as defendants are infringing a patent that has been ruled valid by the Patent Office on three occasions." The company chairman, Michael Doyle, added, "We just want what's fair." My addition? "You just want what's greenish and has 'FEDERAL RESERVE NOTE' imprinted on it." Then again, if I invented a technology and knew I could get money out of slapping others for using it, it'd be sorely tempting to do so. Still, does the fact that a person (or group of persons) can do something mean that they should?
This, of course, brings up the much-debated topic of whether or not software ought to be patentable as well as the much-debated patent and even copyright laws of our world today. Your thoughts? You know you want to share them. The first commenter gets bragging rights (no suing over those, either).

Periodically, every country goes through a crisis of identity. Demography changes, borders change, internal boundaries change, international relations change - friends become foes and foes friends.
Throughout the chronicle of recorded time countries have expanded, contracted or have, like Poland and Persia, vanished temporarilly or permanently. Historically, mainland Europe has been accustomed to the rise and fall of nations within the contours of its geography. Prague was governed by Vienna, Rome by Paris, and in World War II all four were governed by Berlin. Today, they all are governed by Brussels. Wars and revolutions are volcanoes; in the aftermath the landscape changes, maps have to be changed: Czechoslovakia becomes the Czech Republic, the USSR breaks up into its constituent republics, the United Kingdom becomes a satellite of the European Union.
In my lifetime the EU has had almost as many incarnations as Shakespeare's seven ages of man. In my youth the European Economic Community (EEC) of six nations was scarcely a blip on the horizon of my consciousness. By my thirtieth year in 1979, it had got bigger and much closer. The 1972 European Communities Act had gone through Parliament, our currency had been changed to decimal, elections for the European Parliament were taking place. In my fourty-fourth year the 1993 Maastrict Treaty was ratified and the EEC became the European Community (EC) with fifteen member states and a flag of its own - blue with a gas ring of gold stars that reminded me of Custer's Seventh Cavalry. By then I had visited Brussels and Luxembourg. In my fifty-eighth year the EC became the European Union with twenty-seven member states, seventeen of which had given up their own currency in exchange for the euro. Monetary union was the precursor of the original idea behind the entire enterprise: political union.
Throughout these six decades, an idea has pervaded the political, social and literary culture of this country, the idea of angst. Superficially, this looks like post-war Existential anxiety of the Jean Paul Sartre kind. One of the features of my frenetic youth, before I learned from Christopher Hampton's play Total Eclipse that what was aestetically plausible wasn't necessarily true, was the specious linking of disparate political and social events to cultural phenomena. Thus, Beckett's Waiting for Godot and John Osborne's Look Back in Anger embodied the crisis of national identity that resulted from the loss of empire and Suez. Though which was cause and which was effect had me stumbling over definitions of deductive and inductive reasoning. The literature of pre-revolutionary Russia is ripe with characters worrying about whether they have become "superfluous" - a nineteenth century form of angst.
Who are we, what are we, what is any of it worth, did not originate from the independence of India in 1947 or the invasion of Egypt in 1956. These universal questions have been around at least since the three temptations of Christ - at least Dostoyevsky's Grand Inquisitor thought so (see chapter five of The Brothers Karamazov). Nevertheless, they have been projected as the Questions of Our Time during my brief lifetime. Every so often they break out, red and raw. The recent Channel 4 programme Make Bradford British aroused the irritable rash of identity, once again making perfect strangers red in the face at the thought of all pervasive foreigners, political correctness and red tape. Ambivalent as I am about most things, I felt swayed first one way, then the other, as the debate, largely manufactured by newspapers, raged on.
And then, yesterday, my friend Richard North mailed me a Foreign and Commonwealth Office paper entitled Sovereignty and the European Communities. I was startled. The thrust of what I understood from this 15-page document was that while the nation was getting knotted up over identity a huge amount of national sovereignty has been sheered away from the white cliffs of Dover, deliberately not accidentally. The identity crisis had been a distraction. What had vanished was not the national character. In spite of the creation of a Parliament for Scotland and Assemblies for Wales and Northern Ireland, the old regional rivalries were still apparent. Britain, the United Kingdom, call it what you will, was still a place of faith, hope and charity, in its support of good causes, its dislike of fatalism in response to catastrophe and something a dissident Russian poet once told me she most admired about Britain: "You are not a coward." Gullible, yes,credulous, certainly, piss-taking, abosolutely, lacking in self-confidence, of course, suspicious of seriousness, yes. In Russia, poets are expected to be prophets. In this country they are expected to be light entertainers.
Allow me to quote some extracts from this document. Note the self-satisfied tenor of the language, which would not be out of place in a script for Yes, Prime Minister:-
We are all deeply conscious through tradition, upbringing and education of the distinctive fact of being British. Given our island position and long territorial and national integrity, the traditional relative freedom from comprehensive foreign, especially European alliances and entanglements, this national consciousness may well be stronger than that of most nations.
When 'sovereignty' is called into question in the debate about entry to the Community, people may feel that it is this 'Britishness' that is at stake. Here Mr Rippon's pointed question "are the French any less French?" for their membership (sic)...
However it is presented, entry to the Community will mean major change. It is natural and inevitable that this should be disliked and resisted by many. Even the 'loss of sovereignty' may be limited to fairly precise areas of Government and Parliamentary powers and be without significance for the lives of most of the country, still the phrase conjures up a spectre of major and uncontrollable change and of adjustments that will have to be made which are deeply disturbing...
...In entry to the Community we may seem to be opting for a system in which bureaucracy will be more remote (as well as largely foreign)...The British have long been accustomed to the belief that we play a major part in ordering the affairs of the world and that in ordering our own affairs we are beholden to none. Much of this is mere illusion. As a middle power we can proceed only by treaty, alliance and compromise. So we are dependent on others both for the effective defence of the United Kingdom and also for the commercial and international financial conditions which govern our own economy...
...Joining the Community...is a further large step away from what is thought to be unfettered national freedom and a public acknowledgement of our reduced national power; moreover, joining the Community institutionalises in a single, permanent coalition the necessary process of accommodation and alliance over large areas of policy, domestic as well as external...
...the transfer of major executive responsibilities to the bureaucratic Commission in Brussels will exacerbate popular feeling of alienation from government. To counter this feeling, strengthened local and regional democratic processes within the member states and effective Community regional economic and social policies will be essential...
...The Community, if we are to benefit to the full, will develop wider powers and coordinate and manage policy over wider areas of public business...To control and supervise this process it will be necessary to strengthen the democratic organisation of the Community with consequent decline of the primacy and prestige of the national parliaments.
The task will not be to arrest this process, since to do so would be to put considerations of formal sovereignty before effctive influence and power, but to adopt institutions and policies both in the UK and in Brussels to meet and reduce the real and substantial public anxieties over national identity and alienation from government, fear of change and loss of control over their fate which are aroused by talk of 'loss of sovereignty'.
This long-sighted paper was written in April 1971, the year before the European and Communities Act. The following was written by Dostoveysky in his aforementioned novel and published in 1879:-
Mankind as a whole has always striven to organise a universal state. There have been many great nations with great histories, but the more highly they were developed the more unhappy they were, for they felt more acutely than other people the craving for world-wide union.
Dostoyevsky's Grand Inquisitor describes how a select group of 100,000 will run the lives of thousands of millions by taking away the anxieties that come with freedom. Ruled by Miracle, Mystery and Authority, the masses will be allowed to work and play and sin, strictly under the controlling guidance of these religious Bolsheviks.
The dictatorship of the proletariat has moved westwards. For the time being at least, for all empires fall eventually, we take our orders from a governing class of federal technocrats. The existential crisis of who we are and what we believe is, like the poor, always with us. The carving away of sovereignty, however you define it in relation to power and authority, is a twentieth century decision. The deliberate and progressive erosion of sovereignty, like gum recession, has weakened the teeth of the British bulldog. No point in seeking assurance from Churchill.

Crisis of Identity, Loss of Sovereignty...
Periodically, every country goes through a crisis of identity. Demography changes, borders change, internal boundaries change, international relations change - friends become foes and foes friends.

It is the superior 'Sir Humphrey' tone of the document which drives one to fury. There is no argument with this Platonic guardian, whose real aims have to be read through a filter. The truth would burn out the eye sockets of us mere mortals, it seems.
We are told it is 'illusory' to imagine we order our own affairs. This, though undoubtedly true in some ways (for example NATO or globalisation) is interpreted as carte blanche for a new social order. His new friends, the continental guardians of 'The Community', will be given full permission to 'develop wider powers and coordinate and manage policy over wider areas of public business'. Don't go getting any funny ideas about decision making, people. That's our job.
Curiously, and at the same time, Sir H. unblushingly admits that public anxiety around control by the faceless and unaccountable is 'real' and 'substantial'. This 'snag' is subtly erased. The promiscuous use of weasel phrases and words like 'belief', 'illusion', 'thought to be' etc.. provides a sneer commentary in the background. Truly the hoi polloi are still trapped within the cave, useless blind creatures of appetite and stupidity.
Darkness falls....

The right maker can be the key to getting the right product. In this case, there are tons and tons of them out there. You need to look for an established maker of awnings, one whose products you recognize because there is a better chance that the quality, variety, and overall selection of colors and styles will be far greater from a company with years of experience in the business. Names like SunSetter, Beauty Mark, Powell and Powell, Awntech, and the like all represent decades of innovation and design in the door and window covering business, so they tend to offer superior products and a better range of choices when compared to some fly-by-night operations.
Assuming you've found a handful of awning manufacturers you trust, it's time to look at the actual product itself. Here you're looking at door or window awnings, commercial and residential, retractable models, awnings for high or low eaves, and solutions for many other situations that come with individual homes and businesses. To put it simply, there are so many varieties available that if you have a specific need (and most people do) the door or window covering exists that will address that need perfectly. After you pick the particular model, you can make choices concerning color, choice of fabric, valance style, and more that suits the building you're looking to upgrade.
So once you pick a place to start, it really isn't all that complicated. If you go into the process with the idea that the perfect product is out there for you to find, then chances are overwhelmingly large that you'll find it. The right manufacturer, the right model, the right color, and every other aspect of the perfect awning for you will lead you to the item page for that perfect complement for the residential or commercial building you have in mind.

So, I play on the server Landroval, I am the leader of a small kinship.
We have about 6 members, but we have various alts to keep it from being disband.
We all bought houses in the same neighborhood, and that got me thinking.
Would it be a good idea to have kin neighborhoods? Like if a kin wanted to own all the houses and kin houses in the neighborhood they could pay out a certain price? and this wouldn't just buy out that housing instance, it would create another one named after the kin.
Then they could have all the kin houses in the neighborhood, and the people could pick what houses they wanted, as long as a higher ranked person approved.
Also, say if a kin has bought houses and a Kin house in a neighborhood, they could pay the price for the rest of the houses and transferred to their own housing instance.
Just an idea, tell me what you think.

Trying to migrate from Windows to puppy unusual application
Subject description: New application : could be simple ~ could be impossible??
This problem has several parts. TWO OF THEM are related apps. I will summarize or give links to save space.
I have used Windows for this application since it WAS only available for this OS. The software firm finally produced an application developed for Ubuntu 8.04. The application and OS work. The application as two components Server and Client. The Server can be any Os and the client can be any OS. Ubuntu is a huge OS that needs to be thinned out for my application. I have several constraints: I need to have the PC use the minimum power as possible, since it will be solar powered. Presently, I have run Ubuntu AND Puppy on an Aopen MODT MiniPC using an Intel core 2 Duo. The machine still draws too much power for my application.
Note: When my application is run under WINXP both cores are running 90-100%, with very little going on. When using Linux OS, I am running at only 5% with the same system. The goal is to reduce the power requirements of the hardware to reduce battery requirements. I tried an old Celeron using Linux and my application---cool as a cucumber.
I have made a list of 6 different pc's to try. These include microPC's using 500 Mhz Geode and other low power microprocessors.
I am trying to connect the dots with three separate technologies.... A B and C.
A) Recently, I discovered a totally new approach to solve low power PC issues using CLOUD computing. The PC only draws 2 watts - CherryPal. Pleae see these links for a description.
1) Explanation of Cherrypal and CLOUD computing
2) http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/stories/2008/08/04/story6.html?ana=from_rss
3) http://thecherrypalchronicles.blogspot.com/2008/10/first-official-welcome.html
4) http://cherrypal.blogspot.com/
5) www.cherrypal.com
Okay--> now hold the thought about the CherryPal and its cloud computing for extremely low powered apps.
B) I am using a Linux based software as "Server" that will allow me to use most any browser on a "client" PC to control the "Server". The client PC can use Windows, Linux or Macintosh OS's
The Linux based software is called Exacqvision ip NVR. Descriptions and test downloads are found at http://www.exacq.com/products.html and at
http://www.exacq.com/downloads.html Exacqvision server installer Version 184.108.40.20677 for 10.24.2008 Ubuntu 6.06/8.04 Debian Package.
This software allows a PC called the "server" to take Mjpeg images from another server embedded in a network camera and either stream the images to the client and/or record and process the images using embedded sofytware of the camera. the functionality works well on an old Celeron and any PC client using any browser.
C) I have a SIMILAR application that works similarly but ONLY for WINXP on EACH side. But this software does an amazing feat! When you are observing the server images remotely via the client you can automatically trigger a port to stream a software program up from the server to the client. The client can now have almost 90% of the functionality of the server. This is important, because the raw powerful computing power of the server runs the client software---sort of reminds you of item A above?
I can get all components of the software coding from the software vendors. This implies that all I need is ONE side of the Server client system to do the processing. And that side only really NEEDS TO BE only as powerful as a Celeron. The application is actually running over a cloud.
1) Get puppy OS to run my application server and client sides. Working on this.
2) Locate the smallest, fastest, computer that can run on batteries and be recharged via solar power that can run puppylinux and my ubuntu 8.04 compatible application software. Working on this.
3) To assist the small low powered PC (such as a CherryPal) I need to virtually change the side defined as server (where the camera with built in network server is located) to act as a virtual client as in item 3) above use the former Client side with a more powerful PC on the network as a virtual Server. Don't know how to do this in Linux.
Summary: Instead of having a huge powerful server PC on the camera side (it will be solar powered) I will configure it as the "client" (it is really the server), so that the formerly low power prequirement remote pc--such as a notebook PC can really be the server.
I will be tying elements of A B and C together, so my system will work without being hooked up to an AC main power supply. My network is wireless and I am using the Sprint (USA) EVDO Rev A CDMA system. I have had systems up for as long as 6 months - uninterrupted - unattended using off the shelf COTS software and hardware. BUT the BIG issue is the large amount of power that is sucked out by Windows OS on either side of the network. Its terrible---what a waste of energy and resources to do something that is really not that difficult.
If anyone is interested in giving me any information that can help me understand or develop this application please send me an email. The applications are too numerous to describe. Suffice it to say, it will be possible to remotely control and monitor a home security or video webcam system in HIGH DEFINITION. All the equipment /softwware is getting cheaper daily, but the MFG only market to certain large markets and they don't seem to care about power waste.
Puppylinux can help save energy and help with security. you should have seen how Microsoft Process Explorer (free app from Microsoft) indicates that MOST of the power of these wonderful new microprocessors Intel core 2 or Quad cores ONLY goes to running the operating system. Its such a waste.

Subject description: No its for my personal use.
If we could encourage manufacturers to get away from Windoze it could solve lots of problems. They are lazy because of the time it takes to do real coding.
I don't get paid a dime. The issue is the problem, not the motivation to solve it. I may have solutions for many other apps, ask and I'll send them to you at no charge. Don't be paranoid. You know consumers hate command line, thinking and Linux.
If you have an idea, let me know. The operating instructions for one of my "consumer" cameras is 192 pages long. Does this sound like a "big" market?
I no longer code, I am app-entric and a hardware person. I have enough problems with my solar panels.

Subject description: test run
Hi, I was thinking, the long verbiage of my post doesn't do justice to the application. If you have a windows machine, I can send you a link. The app is very powerful but it was designed for a completely different market than I am using it. In fact, the potential "market" is so small that its difficult to believe why they spent the time to code it. hint: To "protect" their software, they use a long PCI Exp card (doesnt do anything) as a dongle. unbelievable.

So you are attempting to:
Set up basic software on remote machine to grab data from camera.
Set up basic software on remote machine to transfer the data and the program to local machine.
Local machine runs program to process data.
And your issue that last step.
Or am I making it too simple? Does the server have to interact with the client while the client processes the data?
I don't have answers. Just trying to clarify what you're looking for.

Dude, just use thinstation http://thinstation.taylorsolutionsonline.net/TSoM/ to quickly create a custom system
thinstation.org is the main site
You can even custom build an image with the minimal components for your system right from the site (like nimblex but for thin clients and much much smaller images including net boot, pxe, iso ...)
Edit: I forgot the cherrypal was non x86 so you would likely have to run Debian or NetBSD (or just do a search on distrowatch for the proper architecture) OR use the ebox from wdlsystems.com or a DecTop from dataevolution.com (replace the HD with CF + adapter) both are under 10 watts and under $100

Post subject: clarification
Subject description: re:re
Thanks for your reply. It can be very complex and simple at the same time.
I'll try to get there in stages:
Stage 1) I am trying to run Exacqip NVR server - Ubuntu 8.04 ready- using Puppy.
Reason 1) The Winxp version of app is an energy pig (windoze) and I can't run my app using solar. The app+WinXp requires a Core 2 to do minimal operation at high power deficit. Draws over 60 watts on a MODT core 2 Duo. (Aopen miniPC)
Reason 2) Same app runs on Ubuntu 8.04 very cool, no major issues, but still sucks up too much power because Ubuntu 8.04 does much more than I need. I only want one app on the O.S. The pc will be unattended. I am newbie with puppy, and puppy looks ike it can solve problem of power drain.
Hardware: Presently using Aopen Minipc with Ubuntu 8.04 + app, but way too much power drain.
Have plan A and Plan B to improve hardware.
Plan A: fit-PC slim www.fit-pc.com uses 500Mhz AMD Geode. Its is small but case is the heat sink. gets HOT Not efficient use of power.
Plan B: Waiting for latest Atom sub mini-ITX mobo. Last tests I read showed that the Intel Atom was much more energy efficient than the new VIA chip.
If I resolve software issues, I will have to wait for hardware to try solution.
Thanks for any help.
Stage 2 and stage 3 can wait. Stage 2 uses only the camera as a server, but with unreliable /slow connection to internet ( 500k up) , this would not be reliable. It has worked but not well. My camera kicks out 30mb/sec! A small local PC /with NVR app can throttle it down and control it. It works with Aopen but power hog at 60 watts.
These devices (PC's) are tiny.
I was thinking of a cell phone (embedded) can do most of the app and more, a pc should be able to do it.

Subject description: response
I have never heard of this. I like the idea. I will start studying. My application requires super low power, so I disassemble the camera and modify it for even lower power requirements. In my area, in the winter months, the cloud cover and angle of sun ar so low that I can only get a few hours of useable sunlight. Thanks for idea. I am using a 20ma recycle timer to turn my camera off and on at intervals to save power. I know it sounds kludgy, but it works most of the time. So many devices are power hogs and require mains power. I have several solutions--simple for anyone who asks. Example: I have a CHEAP small solar powered IR illuminator for night only use that is VERY low power yet works.
Thanks for your help

technosaurus mentioned ebox, but the 200 mhz SiS is already phased out. Your best chance is the
Geode 466 - here
is an example.
Minipup (Puppy Linux regression 2.02R) has been tested well on that machine.
Add: I recall that someone has
developed through this forum
a camera system for the ebox using Puppy Linux.

I wouldn't discount VIA for the atom just yet - when you account for the North/South-bridge I think VIA is still winning, not to mention that if you plan to use streaming video most newer VIA chips have built-in mpeg2 (some have Mpeg 4 too I think)compression support and will thus draw waaaaaaay less power while streaming video (wdlsystems.com has quite a few small via PCs in an ebox size form factor for about the same price as the cherry - or you could just use a VIA Artigo nano-pc kit - very small and efficient)

Thanks for the reply and ideas. The Star is no lnger sold by my distruber. It has been discontinued. I usally go through capuccinopc.com for my SFF pc's.
I this application I usually use streaming jpegs--mjpeg since they are high resoluion images (SXGA or greater to 5 MP images) My frame rates are low--only 4 FPS. I only transmit changed images to keep the bandwidth down. I use in-camera motion detection. When the SDK for the camera can be used by the NVR software, it makes for very efficinet bandwidth ujse. I will migrate to the newer subpart ten of MPEG4 ---h.264 as it is improved.
One more constraint. I am using a wirleess network consisting of either 5.8 GHz P2P and/or the Sprint EVDO REV A . They work great as configured now. My record is 100 days of NO crashes, unattended using Sprint with three megapixel video cameras at full resolution-10% MJPEG compression. My only problems are too high power requirements and trying to get my camera server/client smaller as well.
Thank you -- thank you about the link to forum on puppy. I will study that.
I am a camera nut. I modify them, experiment with them and redesign them. I have a camera that can see 180 degrees horizontal with NO distortion! Why use a speed dome that must be smart to follow a person when you can watch everything.
You can visit my test site at www.justin.tv type in search "floordog"
They provide FREE video streaming 24/7. Its called life-casting. It may look weird but I need the bandwidth for my experiments. That black camera with four lenses--- Russian - I modified it so all four frames are stitched together HIGH DEFINITION 8 megapixel images streaming.
It is stitched before it is sent. Pretty amazing. Especially since it now works with NIR at 940 nm. I use a 10 watt 940 nm CW laser. It has range to one mile with HD cams . I can't sell it because it is not eyesafe. To dangerous for non-tech. It will not cause damage greater than ten feet away. You can not see the beam with your eyes only. The Quantum Efficiency of the sensors are only 20% but I have to lock down the iris to 50%--its that "bright" using f 1.2 telephoto glass. I use it in my front yard for security. If anyone gets within 150 feet it starts recording. Display is on wall with HD projector. 180 degrees FOV is cool at night. Check out justin.tv

Post subject: Weirdness in PuppyOS 4.1.1
Subject description: Networking issues
About two years ago, I had one of those Windows moments. LOL You know, you are in a hurry and up against the wall with work, and Windows decides to CRASH BIG! You throw money at it, tech support etc etc and hours later you still have a big MESS. So THAT is when I discovered puppy! I built Live-CD's of most all the Linux Distros and tried them one at a time to stop my painful addiction to Windows. Only two worked with my hardware. One of them was Puppy. But alas, lack of functionality with my favorite apps pushed me back into the nasty Windows habit again. I tried "windows recovery", but it is a long road as many of you must concede. I am now on a "Windows 12 step" program to stop the addiction. About once every 6-12 months I take a peek at puppy and smile. Someday, I'll get rid of this bad Windows habit! Psychiatrists say that the main difference between somone who is normal or insane is that the normal person learns by his mistakes. When you get bit by a rattlesnake, you quickly learn not to play with them. But we still use Windows?
Issue: I tried PuppyOS 4.1.1. It works great...kind of sort of. I set up the lived CD, no problemo, but when I tried networking -->problems.
1) PuppyOS 4.1.1 recognized ath0 and configured everything with my wireless router but ONLY only in unencrypted mode. It would not respond in WPA mode after the password prompt. I spent several hours trying, and no solutions.
2) PuppyOS 4.1.1 would not allow me to go online using Eth0. I know the routine, but it would not work. After a few hours of trying different drivers, I started Live CD installs of older puppyOS's. The PC I am using of course must be newer, that's what Windows does to you: Buy faster a faster computers to handle slower and slower Windows. About 6 different old PuppyOS's had the same problem, so "I" or my PC must be the problem!! ---> until I found PuppyOS 3.01! It fired right up, no problems on Eth0 using the same drivers I had set up under PuppyOS 4.1.1. What happened? Same drivers for Eth0!
3) PuppyOS 4.1.1 could not detect my USB wireless data card.
Any ideas? Why did the old puppy see my ethernet network and work within seconds?
4) I partitioned my hard drive into NTFS for WINXP, EXT 3 for Ubuntu 8.1 , EXT2 for PuppyOS 4.1.1 and a partition for Linux swap.
The Ubuntu 8.1 set up the boot for me from its liveCD. I used Gparted to make the EXT2 partition for PuppyOS 4.1.1. I saved my last PuppyOS 4.1.1 session on the EXT2 hard drive partition.
How do I tell the boot loader to allow me to have a boot choice directly to puppy without using the LiveCD?
I have the following options:
+ Ubuntu 8.1
+ Ubuntu 8.1 recovery
+ memtest
+Other OS: WinXP
I would like to add PuppyOS to this directory. I may have to replace 4.1.1 with 3.01?
I like the new improved Puppy except for the networking issues. Ubuntu 8.1 is amazing! After a few ubuntu screw ups (actually it was windows causing the problem--it hates other OS's on the same HDD) a few years ago.
The new ubuntu 8.1 automatically did EVERYTHING from all networking set ups---wired and all wireless including my data card, all video and image and audio codecs. And most all required plugins for the browser were already installed. M$ft is still messing with Mozilla. You can't access hotmail when using Mozilla -Linux. Opera works fine though.

UConn Defeats Holy Cross, 16-11
Related Links
April 16, 2005
Storrs, Conn. - The University of Connecticut women's lacrosse team defeated Holy Cross, 16-11 in a non-conference game on Saturday afternoon in Storrs. Holy Cross falls to 9-6 overall with the loss. Sophomore Patricia Sutton led the Crusaders with five goals and an assist and freshman Amy Archambault added four goals.
Connecticut took a 2-1 lead just seven minutes into the contest, but Holy Cross then rattled off three straight scores to take a 4-2 lead with 20:09 remaining. Sutton had two tallies and Archambault scored her first goal of the game during the 3-0 run.
The Huskies fought back, however, and went on a 4-0 tear of their own to take a 6-4 lead at the 14:08 mark. Goals by UConn's Burke and Mullaney came just 17 seconds apart. Archambault was able to tie things up at 6-6 after converting on two shots just 1:16 apart, but UConn put two more scores on the board in the final seven minutes to go into the half up 8-6.
Holy Cross freshman Kaitlin Nangle scored less than one minute into the second half to cut the UConn lead to one (8-7). Archambault scored her fourth goal of the game and Sutton added three more scores, but it was not enough as the Huskies were able to outscore Holy Cross, 8-5 in the second stanza to get the victory.
The Crusaders will host Boston College on Wednesday night at the Hart Astroturf. The game will start at 7:30 p.m. following a short ceremony honoring the Holy Cross seniors.

Arianna with her buddy Newt Gingrich
Politico has a long piece up about a lawsuit brought by two Democratic consultants, Peter Daou and James Boyce which claims that the idea for The Huffington Post was stolen from them. A while back, I did some research into Arianna Huffington and came across some rather revealing things about Arianna and her MO. The most glaring of these was her teaming up with Newt Gingrich in the early 90's to help bring about Gingrich's Republican Revolution, oh and apparently she's still hanging with him. I'm old enough to remember that bullshit and have always been skeptical of Huffington and see her as an opportunist. Her new book, no plug here, attempts to play on people's fears about the economic crisis. I hope to find time to write about that soon, she's been not so subtly appealing to the angry people in the country….there's money to be made on that anger, you know? From the Politico piece…
The complaint is a direct challenge to the left's most important media property from two stalwarts of the progressive movement. And it challenges Huffington's own oft-told story of coming up with the idea in conversation with Lerer and other friends.
"Huffington has styled herself as a 'new media' maven and an expert on the effective deployment of news and celebrity on the Internet in the service of political ends," says the complaint. "As will be shown at trial, Huffington's and Lerer's image with respect to the Huffington Post is founded on false impressions and inaccuracies: They presented the 'new media' ideas and plans of Peter Daou and James Boyce as their own in order to raise money for the website and enhance their image, and breached their promises to work with Peter and James to develop the site together."
It certainly doesn't surprise me to read this, that's what Republicans are all about, making money on the backs of other people. It completely fits with her opportunistic MO. She is the wolf in sheep's clothing. Every time I hear her introduced as a liberal, I do a spit take with my coffee or Lipton Diet Green Tea…and we all know how painful that can be. She is no liberal, she just shifted her "mark" to liberals. She saw the pendulum swinging away from conservatism with the election of George W. Bush and saw a great opportunity to capitalize on it. Recently, it seems she is jealous of all the money Glenn Beck and his sorts are making off the anger on the right. I see her book as a blatant appeal to those people, she want's some of that money too. More from Politico…
Lerer, a former AOL executive who once worked as a spokesman for junk bond king Michael Milken, later involved other Internet gurus – the marketing expert Jonah Perretti, and Drudge collaborator Andrew Breitbart – in their launch, and Daou and Boyce aren't the first to contest the Huffington Post's lineage.
"I created the Huffington Post," Breitbart told Wired in March, prompting Huffington to reply that he "wasn't present" for the initial 2004 meeting.
Can you even fucking believe it, Breitbart was there at the start of The Huffington Post. Now that speaks volumes in my mind. Andrew Fucking Breitbart working with Arianna, and of course this is after she supposedly saw the light and became more progressive….cough, spit. I remember seeing her talk on C-SPAN in the early 2000's and thinking, wow, a conservative who's seen the light and grown. As I continued to watch her speak, I had a sense about her that she was slippery. She talked around a lot of issues, was very slick in her appeal to liberals, playing on their dislike for George W. Bush, using clever put downs of him to gain acceptance. I have to admit, I was digging what she was saying, I disliked ole' W. about as much as anyone. But even then, I was cautious because of her slickness. It was only after I started getting pissed off at the misleading headlines on her site that I started doing some digging and discovered the above links.
Booman, who was the source of the Politico link above, wonders why The Huffington Post is considered left…
Is the Huffington Post the "left's most important media property"? Really? Because I have never opened the Huffington Post unless directed there by someone else. I have almost never linked to them (probably less than a dozen times in six years). I don't think I've ever been to their home-page. I think if they were really so important, I'd find I couldn't blog effectively without knowing what was going on there. But, for the most part, the Huffington Post doesn't even exist for me. It's like the Drudge Report. I know it exists, and occasionally someone points out to me that they have some interesting material, but that's it. And why is the Huffington Post considered a left-leaning site? I don't consider Arianna Huffington to be left-leaning. She's a critic of President Bush and the current brand of know-nothing politics of the right. But she's certainly no liberal. Above all, she's a business woman and a celebrity. She's not a part of any movement I am aware of. I'm not knocking her, but I just don't get why her site is supposed to be important to the left. For what?
I used to frequent her website until I noticed a change in course and their turning on the President. I was often sucked into the misleading headlines which many times didn't reflect was in the actual article, a blatant bait and switch of sorts. She is very good at making money off people's emotions, I suspect she will continue to do well in that regard. I just won't be a part of it.

Regional rivals will meet for the 72nd time in each school's history
BOONE, N.C. (Nov. 11, 2013) – Following a tough overtime loss to begin the season this past Friday evening in Memphis, the ETSU women's basketball team will look to right the ship against regional rival Appalachian State on Tuesday evening at 5:30 p.m. inside the Holmes Center.
The beginning of the Brittney Ezell era for women's basketball at ETSU did not go quite as planned with a 77-74 overtime loss to the Memphis Tigers. After battling with the cross-state rival for 40 minutes, a few missed opportunities in the additional five minutes of the extra period proved costly. Inequalities between the two teams in chances at the free throw line also did not go in the Bucs' favor.
Not to be lost in the disappointment of defeat were a number of positives that the team can build off of for the remainder of the season. The Blue and Gold played extremely hard throughout the contest and showed a tremendous amount of resiliency after being down towards the end of both the first half and regulation. ETSU also featured three double-figure scorers, highlighted by a team-high 17 points from junior Cara Bowling (Elizabethton, Tenn.). Increased offensive output will prove crucial for the Bucs going forward as they face teams in the remainder of the nonconference schedule with strong offensive firepower.
The matchup versus Appalachian State will be the 72nd all-time meeting between the two schools; a series in which ASU holds 39-32 advantage and has won the last four. The Bucs and the Mountaineers met last season on Dec. 18 when App State used a 31-7 run over the final 13 minutes of the contest to blast ETSU, 85-57 inside Brooks Gym.
For more on Tuesday's game, read the game notes below. For more on ETSU women's basketball throughout the 2013-14 season, visit ETSUBucs.com and click on the women's hoops link.
Game Notes
The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics would like to ask both the print and broadcast media to honor our request to be called "ETSU" throughout the 2012-13 season ... East Tennessee State in first reference is acceptable, but subsequent references should be ETSU ... On TV graphics, please use ETSU ... Our nickname is the Buccaneers, but Bucs is also acceptable.
The ETSU Buccaneers enter the 2013-14 season under the guidance of first-year head coach. Brittney Ezell. A two-sport star in basketball and softball at the University of Alabama, Ezell comes to ETSU after spending three seasons as head coach at Belmont University where she compiled a 41-52 overall record. The Franklin, Tenn. native takes the reigns of a veteran-heavy team that returns nine letterwinners from an 8-18 overall 2012-13 campaign. Among the nine returnees are six players who started 10 or more games last season. Highlighted among the returnees is last year's team-leading scorer and rebounder Destiny Mitchell who led the way with 11.5 points and 8.1 rebounds per game. Supporting Mitchell are juniors Serena Clark and Cara Bowling who each averaged 9.5 points per game last season.
BUCS VS. Appalachian State
Tuesday's contest inside the Holmes Center will be the 72nd all-time meeting between the two teams, a series in which App State holds a 39-32 overall advantage. The Bucs and the Mountaineers met last season when ASU blasted ETSU, 85-57, inside Brooks Gym on Dec. 18. In this meeting, ETSU took a four-point deficit into the half, but stormed back to take a one-point lead with 13 minutes left to play. The Mountaineers responded with a 36-7 burst over the durations of the half en route to a 85-57 victory. Newcomer Tiana Burley (Camilla, Ga.) led the Buccaneers with 19 points, while Maryah Sydnor added a game-high 23 points for App State.
Veteran presence
The ETSU Buccaneers feature nine returning letterwinners and six players who started 10 or more games last season. Among these returnees are two seniors, five juniors and two sophomores. The returning juniors and seniors accounted for 77 percent of the scoring and 68 percent of the rebounds in 2012-13. Seniors Shawn Randall (Orlando, Fla.) and Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.) alone accounted for nearly 30 percent of the scoring last season and ranked second and third on the team in total minutes played, respectively.
ETSU welcomes three new players for the 2013-14 season. The guard-heavy class features one early signee and two late signees that will try to help bolster the backcourt for the Bucs. Shamauria Bridges signed early with ETSU last season out of Miramar, Fla. and Hollywood Christian School. The 5-foot-7 southpaw was part of the Florida 2A state champion runner-up Hollywood Christian team in 2012. Jasmine Hotchkins - the first signing of the Ezell era - comes to ETSU from Pinnacle High School in Phoenix where she averaged four points and 1.2 assists per game for the 2013 Arizona Division I state runner-up and 32-3 overall Pinnacle Pioneers. Final signee Adriane Vaughan out of Midlothian, Va. and Crosby High School scored 1,021 points during her prep career as a Titan.

Alabama Men's Basketball Closes Regular Season With Win Over Georgia, 61-58
Tuscaloosa, Ala. – Coming off of a pair of tough losses, the Alabama men's basketball rebounded to close out the regular season with a 61-58 win over Georgia on a Trevor Releford half-court three-point basket at the buzzer on Senior Day in Coleman Coliseum. Releford led the Tide offensively with 19 points while sophomore forward Nick Jacobs chipped in 11 points and five rebounds.
"I guess you want drama involved in the 100th year reunion," UA head coach Anthony Grant said. "So many people returning to the Capstone and I'm just happy we won the game. Obviously, we knew Georgia was going to continue to fight."
Alabama finishes the regular season at 20-11 overall and 12-6 in Southeastern Conference play, which marks the third-straight 20-win season for the Tide. It is the first time since the 1990, 91 and 92 seasons that UA has had three consecutive 20-win seasons.
Alabama tied Georgia in free throw attempts with 17 for the game, continuing a winning trend when the Tide either has the same or more free throw attempts than the opposition. Alabama is 12-0 in the SEC and 19-3 overall in those cases.
The Tide started the game with a 13-3 run, keyed by perfect 5-for-5 shooting and a pair of three-point buckets by Releford. Alabama was hot throughout the first twenty minutes, shooting 45 percent from beyond the three-point arc and the floor and 6-of-7 from the free-throw line to build a 14-point lead at the half.
"I felt like in the second half they really picked their tempo up and really attacked us," Grant said. "The zone caused us some problems. We struggled to find consistency against the zone. We were able to finally get a few baskets off drives and attacking the rim, but we really struggled to get anything from a consistency standpoint."
The Bulldogs tied the game late on a layup and a three-pointer off a missed foul shot. Georgia had the opportunity to win the game at the end, but were stopped by the Tide defense. Releford fired a three pointer from half-court as time expired, and sank it to give Alabama the victory. Although the Bulldogs tied it up at the end, the Tide never relinquished the lead for the duration of the game.
"We had a lot of breakdowns in the end, but thankfully, on the last possession, we locked in and we got a stop," Grant said. "It was just a good heads-up play by (Trevor) Releford, to be aware of what he had. When we got the ball, I tried to look at the shot clock to see if we needed to call a time. I felt like, 'Okay, we are going to go into overtime here.' And then when he lets it go, you look at the trajectory and I said it's got a chance, and luckily for us, it went in. It was a big time shot and a great ending."
Alabama received excellent production from its bench, which contributed 23 of 61 points for the Tide in the game. The bench production was led by Jacobs, who finished with eleven points. The Alabama guards played a key role as well, picking up eight steals as part of 16 turnovers forced by the Tide in the game.
Coupled with Missouri's loss at Tennessee, the Alabama Crimson Tide will be the No. 4 seed in the 2013 Southeastern Conference Tournament in Nashville. As a top-four seed, UA will receive the double-bye into the quarterfinals of the event and will play on Friday at a time to be determined.

Msaker has been a Mortal Strike Warrior for some time now. In his 40's he was Fury, dual wielding for leveling goodness, but upon getting into Alerac Valley, and getting his mitts on an Ice Barbed Spear, he was specced for Mortal Strikes because that was good for burst damage and that's good in the Battlegrounds.
Yes, I had a shield, and I knew the basics of holding aggro, and I considered myself a "Tank." But sword and a board don't a tank make. Yes, I'd tanked Scholomance to good acclaim. But how was I going to stack up in the Outlands? Where, oddly, there are no Warriors tanking. (I see why, since Outlands is clearly Paladinlands with regards to plate gear.)
So, I stepped into the machine, journeyed to the Undercity, and became transformed. I am now a Tanking Warrior. Full Protection down to Devastate, some points in Fury for crit chance, and the rest of the points in Arms. I'm not sure if it's a typical build, but for me, it seems to fit the requirement. (I am now putting points into Iron Will after being stunned over and over by the Orcs in the Blood Furnace. I can't tank if I'm stunned.)
(Scene from the Blood Furnace. Yes, that is a Tabard of the Protector from the Dark Portal opening event.)
So, my first order of business of practice with the new build. Into the Armory wing of the Scarlet Monastery. I killed everything, including Herod, and then Thunderclapped his students. I never even paused. Into the Cathedral wing. I killed everything, looking for Scarlet gear for my wife's Paladin, and even started into the Cathedral itself, pulling, and killing, two at a time. Again, without a worry. I don't know if I can solo the Cathedral or not, but it looks awfully promising that I can. The build worked, and I've got my buttons set up decently.
So, test of fire, back to the Outlands for a real instance.
I didn't have any quest there, not having done the Ramparts yet, but into the Blood Furnace we went. A Resto Shaman for healing, a lock, mage, and somebody. Woot. One death and we cleared the instance.
So, still full of energy, positive rage, and after dinner, I returned, and this time went into the Ramparts, Paladin, Mage, Warlock, and Rogue with me. No deaths until we hit the Dragon. Woot. And this Paladin, Protection specced, healed like a Priest. I see now why Holy Priests are furious. This guy was main healing, and handled it great.
Protection Warrior Tank. This is going to be an interesting career move.
P.S. Devastate feels a lot like a Rogue finishing move. My MetaHUD puts sunders up like combo points, and while you can Devastate with any number, the more sunders you have, the more damage you do. But, rather than get cleared, the sunders are refreshed! So it's like finishing moves that you can do over and over. At least that's what it felt like.

Oprah Winfrey injured by Tyler Perry's birthday gift
The TV talk show queen celebrated her big day on Tuesday (29Jan13) and was inundated with gifts, including a huge floral arrangement from Perry.
But the director's rose bouquet ended up giving Winfrey more pain than pleasure after she sprained her back leaning over to pick it up.
In a post on her Twitter.com page, Winfrey explains, "In bed with an ice pack most of today. Moved a bushel of roses sent by Tyler Perry and sprained a back muscle."
Perry took to his Facebook.com page to offer an apology, writing, "I feel so bad. I like to send really large flower arrangements to people for whatever occasion. Well, I sent one to Oprah yesterday for her birthday. She strained her back picking it up. No joke! Feel better Oprah. Happy birthday. Sorry. Next year I'm sending her one rose."
Winfrey appeared to be on the mend on Wednesday (30Jan13) - she tweeted, "Beautiful birthday. Thanks All!" and posted a photo of her posing in a room filled with cards and bouquets.

When you, usually consciously, try to get away with bragging about yourself by couching it in a phony show of humility.
"Your inflatable inner-tube is way cooler than my 80-foot yacht. You get to be so much closer to the water and to nature. I envy you, I really do"
"Thanks, that means a lot. Another advantage of having an innertube is that I don't have to fucking humble brag all the time about having a yacht."

The lowest, most despicable and loathsome form of self promotion, often delivered in a terse one or two fragmented sentences on social networking sites. A typical and popular approach is to use a disingenuous complaint about something, a self-deprecating statement or a comment on something completely innocuous, as a vehicle to deliver the real message, which invariably shows the person in a favourable light. In fact it shows what an attention seeking and insecure person they really are.
Humblebrag example: "Just stepped in gum. Who spits gum on the red carpet?"
Appropriate response(s): "Fuck off bitch"
Humblebrag example: "I can't believe I sounded like such a idiot on TV last night"
Appropriate response(s): "Believe it, idiot"

A form self promotion where the promoter thinks he is, almost subliminally, bragging about himself in the context of a humble statement or complaint. Everyone listening thinks he a jackass.

To bring up one's accomplishments in conversation and contextualize them as a harrowing burden or the product of an accident or fluke.
Peter was telling me that he has four job offers, but he doesn't know how it happened because he's "dumber than an unfrozen cavemen." I wish that dude would just own up to his accomplishments, I'm tired of his humblebrag routine.
by FoxHart May 12, 2011
When someone complains, quite often on social media, about something that they are lucky to have. The humblebrag also includes buzzwords, so as to truly "explain the conundrum".
"Filming on set is a complete test of patience! You know your in Hollywood when you have to cut every other second for a helicopter or an ambulance!" (a legitimate humblebrag that was found on Facebook)
by Motormouth Poet August 06, 2015
a brag statement artfully planted within a slightly deprecating statement; used in order to conceal pride that would otherwise be apparent
I'm really ticked that I wasn't able to improve my bench max by 25 pounds this week! (humblebrag since his main intent is to expose that he works out)

Tony Seaman compiled a record of 263-166 in 30 years as a head coach at Johns Hopkins, Towson, Penn and C.W. Post. In one of his many current roles, he serves to chair the selection committee tasked with filling out the 16-team field for the upcoming NCAA tournament. Seaman discussed the deliberations over the No. 1 seed, the rationale for Massachusetts not getting a top-four seed, and thought process behind inviting Princeton over Penn State.
Loyola coach Charley Toomey, who is a member of the selection committee, said he recused himself for 40 minutes from Sunday's meeting before learning that the Greyhounds would be the No. 1 seed. How lengthy were the conversations about which team deserved the No. 1 seed?
It took a while. It's not a year where we walked in and said, 'This is the No. 1. There's no doubt about it. There's no argument.' So we looked at two or three teams that we thought had remote possibilities for No. 1, and when we went through all of our criteria, Loyola stood out as being No. 1. Their RPI was No. 1, and we felt that they had only one loss and that was to the No. 2 team in the country [Johns Hopkins] by a goal in overtime. Everything else was in pretty good shape. So we awarded that to them.
Massachusetts fans are probably not happy about the only unbeaten team in the country falling to a No. 6 seed. What led to that decision?
They haven't played anybody. They didn't have a win in the top 20. They didn't play a team in the field. How can we possibly give them a top-four ranking? They had a [No.] 31 strength of schedule and they had a [No.] 31 strength of nonconference schedule. They just didn't play anybody. … A lot of people can go undefeated if you don't play anybody. We made a statement back in 2009, and we've made a statement in 2012 that you've got to play people.
So why not drop them out of the top eight entirely?
Look, they're undefeated. They made it through a pretty tough league. There were some close games and some not-so-close games. So you've got to look at the significant factor that they are undefeated, and in this day and age, the parity is pretty close. To go undefeated is pretty tough. But they needed any kind of a win. That was the only strength of schedule that stood out to us and made us go, 'Whoa. Look at that strength of schedule.' There was one other – Denver. We were like, 'Whoa. Look at this strength of schedule. No. 2 overall and in nonconference, No. 5 in the whole country.' That means they played somebody. And they don't have one significant loss. They have losses, but all of them were against top teams in order to get that kind of rating. And they have a very significant win over No. 3 Duke. So that's why they're in, and UMass is sixth because of a [No.] 31 strength of schedule. Look at Hopkins. Hopkins played four of the top 10 and won three of them and beat the No. 1 team in the country. There was a long argument and strong feelings that maybe Hopkins should go [No.] 1. They beat the No. 1 team heads-up. They've played four teams in the top 10, and they won three of them. What kept them out of being No. 1? Probably the loss to Navy. That really hurt them, and that could have easily put them at [No.] 3. But they had too much of a resume to put at [No.] 3. If you beat the No. 1 team in the country and have that other stuff on your resume, that's pretty significant.
Penn State coach Jeff Tambroni questioned the seemingly shifting emphasis of criteria to determine the last two at-large bids, which went to Denver and Princeton. Can you illuminate the thought process?
Princeton had the most stable of RPIs when you got down to those bubble teams. And Princeton doesn't have a bad loss on the schedule. They lost to Yale, Hopkins, Syracuse and North Carolina. There's a reason they're a solid 10. They're a whole decimal point ahead of Cornell, Denver and Penn State. Cornell didn't have a chance because they can't go in ahead of Princeton. Princeton beat them and beat the team that beat them in Brown. Cornell wasn't going in. Penn State's got a hell of an argument, I agree. But they don't have the argument against Princeton. Princeton's got a very stable RPI, and we looked at RPI all the way down. If you find spots where an RPI team is lower in RPI but came in higher on our seedings, it's only because there were so many other circumstances that overrode that RPI. So when we looked at Princeton, they're a [No.] 10 [in RPI]. They're a solid 10. Penn State is a [No.] 17. It was really difficult to say, 'Wow, we've got to put Penn State in there over a total RPI that considers strength of schedule and all the elements.' We don't live by the RPI. We start off with the RPI now, and it is important. It is one of the criteria that we look at. It took hours to decide. As much as UMass' strength of schedule did not impress us, Denver's did impress us, and Denver beat Duke for a really good win. Once in a while, you have to eyeball it a little bit, too, and every loss that Denver was either a one-goal loss or an overtime loss. They played everybody, and they beat the No. 3 seed. So that got them in over Penn State.
If you're judging a team's candidacy by RPI, what about Fairfield, which had an RPI of 13?
Then you look at their strength of schedule [No. 21] and you go, 'How could the RPI give them that kind of a ranking?' Penn State did a lot of good things. They had a good strength of schedule. I'm heartbroken for them. You always walk away with one or two that you just feel so bad about. I can't tell you how many hours we spent talking about it. We just couldn't move Princeton out, and we weren't going to move Denver out. That's what it came down to, and I don't think Jeff will ever understand it, and I don't blame him. If I was in his shoes, I'd be just as mad or just as frustrated as he is.
When bubble teams like Loyola in 2009, Colgate in 2011 and Penn State this year are left out of the tournament, it usually re-energizes the argument for expanding the field. Is that a solution to avoid this situation?
I think our field is bigger than it should be. I think it's a gigantic part of my legacy that I convinced them this year to give us three flights. We could not have seeded an eighth team if we only had two flights. We would've had to put a 10 or an 11 up to 8 so that they didn't have to fly for a game. Then we definitely would have had ACC playing against ACC. Once you have Notre Dame as a home and Duke as a home, that's two flights – unless you send Hopkins down there in the first round or you send Maryland because those are the only two schools that can travel that distance under 400 miles. So we begged and begged and went all the way to the top and finally got approval. What that has done is made it a hell of a first round. Hopkins and Loyola – as deserved – have good teams to play against. After that, there isn't an easy game out there. How would you like to be Duke? Third in the country and then you get to see half of the town come down from Syracuse? Or you're Lehigh, and you've had a wonderful year and look who's coming up to play them? It's the only ACC team with a decent strength of schedule in Maryland.

Radiation therapy uses high-powered x-rays, particles, or radioactive seeds to kill cancer cells.
Alternative Names
Cancer cells multiply faster than normal cells in the body. Because radiation is most harmful toquickly growing cells, radiation therapy damages cancer cells more than normal cells. This prevents the cancer cells from growing and dividing, and leads to cell death.
Radiation therapy is used to fight many types of
- Shrink a tumor as much as possible before surgery
- Help prevent the cancer from coming back after surgery or chemotherapy
- Relieve symptoms caused by a tumor
- Treat cancers that cannot be removed with surgery
External beam radiation is the most common form. This method carefully aims high-powered x-rays or particles directly at the tumor from outside of the body.
Internal beam radiation is placed inside of your body.
- One method uses radioactive seeds that are placed directly into or near the tumor. This method is called brachytherapy, and is used to treat
prostate cancer. It is used less often to treat breast, cervical, lung, and other cancers.
- Another method involves receiving radiation by drinking it, swallowing a pill, or through an IV. Liquid radiation travels throughout your body, seeking out and killing cancer cells. Thyroid cancer and some types of lymphoma may be treated this way.
Radiation therapy can also damage or kill healthy cells. The death of healthy cells can lead to side effects.
These side effects depend on the dose of radiation, and how often you have the therapy. External beam radiation may cause skin changes, such as hair loss, red or burning skin, thinning of skin tissue, or even shedding of the outer layer of skin.
Other side effects depend on the part of body receiving radiation:
