Hi All,
I am using partimage-0.6.4-1.1.fc3.rf.i386.rpm on White Box Enterprise
Linux 4 (same as RHEL4).
When I use partimage from the command line, batch mode, I have noiticed
that part image adds ".000" to my target name.
That is:
partimage -z1 -o -d -b save /dev/sda2 /images/w2kImage.gz
will turn into "w2kImage.gz.000". Is there a way to stop this?
If not, how do I get it added to the "bug list?"
Many thanks,

C# as a scripting language for other applications
Sunday, November 27, 2011 11:03 PM
Congratulations on the Roslyn release - this is a very promising technology. I'm particularly interested in using C# as a scripting language for some tools we're developing. A couple of things would make this considerably simpler:
1) LINQ support. I understand this isn't in the current release so hoping for it to be exposed down the line. (One of the tools we're working on is similar in concept to Wireshark and LINQ provides a very natural syntax for filtering nested data.)
2) Have you considered providing a WPF/WinForms 'C# editor' component which would wrap up syntax colouring and 'standard' intellisense for use in other tools ? I realise that defining such a thing is tricky - you don't want to replicate half of the functionality of Visual Studio! What I have in mind though is something that could act well enough to facilitate composing simple scripts. Clearly it's possible to use a richtextbox for input but this feels rather dissatisfying after a 'proper' environment like VS.

Hi, nmacmull. Thanks for your scripting interest! Yes, we will be adding LINQ support in that the entire C# language or anything you can execute in the REPL will be able to execute via the Roslyn Scripting APIs. There are some things you can't do, of course, like Engine.Execute("return 5;"), but these disallowed top-level code features are listed in the spec I posted a link to. Of course, nothing is written in stone right now, but this is what we're working on. LINQ doesn't work in your bits simply due to the language work not having happened in the compiler.
As to the free rehostable REPL component, we have discussed this, but there are no firm plans around this piece. We totally get it would be a nice convenience, but it is a matter of balancing other features for whether we get to this one. Chris Sells just posted a blog about building a cmd.exe REPL based on Roslyn APIs, and he wants to show some completion support in that code. If he finishes that up, it might be a small task to wrap it in a WPF/winforms txt box, and there's your component.

Bill, thanks for the response and I'll look forward to future releases. WRT rehostable C# editor I certainly understand that there's a long list of things to do and a finite number of people to do it but I'll keep my fingers crossed. :-) The pointer to to Chris's blog was useful as well. For anyone else looking for it, it's here.

Angelina Jolie praises Billy Bob Thornton
Posted May 16, 2012
Angelina Jolie still has kind words for her ex, Billy Bob Thornton, 56.
And she's sharing them with us all in the foreword to his new book, The Billy Bob Tapes: A Cave Full of Ghosts.
She says her former husband "has a big beautiful heart," and "He has an unmatchable wit and can make you laugh until your face hurts," Angie writes. "To be with him is like being with a mad mathematician. He is constantly counting and repeating."
Brad Pitt's fiancee says the world would not be the same without Thornton.
"Some people walk through life able to quiet the voices in their heads. He can't. And I, and everyone else who knows him well, we love him for it," she says, ending with, "I know one thing: The world would certainly be a hell of a lot more dull if that man weren't in it."
Aw. Thornton told Nightline this week that he was to blame for their relationship not working out.
"I blew it because I didn't think I was good enough for her," he said. "She has one way she wanted to live her life and I had another way to live mine, and I was just too insecure." He added, "People have actually said that I didn't deserve to be with her."
Thornton told Nightline they are still "good friends."

I have been hearing word "Web api " in mvc architecture , what is this? why should i use this? when to use Web api?
May 02, 2012 01:44 PM|LINK
ASP.NET Web API is a framework that makes it easy to build HTTP services that reach a broad range of clients, including browsers and mobile devices. ASP.NET Web API is an ideal platform for building RESTful applications on the .NET Framework.
Taken from http://www.asp.net/web-api.
Basically it's shipping with MVC4 apparently but it's not by any means meant to be used solely by MVC4. You can also call the endpoints from jQuery for example.
When to use it... if you want to expose data/information to either you own application or to the outside worldd so that other parties can interact with the data/information you expose to them.
Grz, Kris.
May 02, 2012 01:59 PM|LINK
You mean to expose our classes to outer world? if so we can use web service why web api? i am new to this topic .....
May 02, 2012 02:02 PM|LINK
if so we can use web service why web api
Web API is a "restfull alternative" for WCF/web services. It took the good things of WCF and the MVC, mashed together and is, for as far as I noticed so far, easier to program with. Rather based on conventions than overly complicated configuration.
Simply take a look at it and give it a try. You'll like it for sure.
Grz, Kris.
May 07, 2012 07:07 AM|LINK
If you learn more about WEB API, a lot of tutorial and basic learning that explain about it, one of which is here

Crystal Structure and Mechanistic Implications of 1-Aminocyclopropane-1-Carboxylic Acid Oxidase—The Ethylene-Forming Enzyme
Chemistry & Biology, Volume 11, Issue 10, 1 October 2004, Pages 1383-1394
Zhihong Zhang, Jing-Shang Ren, Ian J. Clifton and Christopher J. Schofield
SummaryThe final step in the biosynthesis of the plant signaling molecule ethylene is catalyzed by 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid oxidase (ACCO). ACCO requires bicarbonate as an activator and catalyzes the oxidation of ACC to give ethylene, CO2, and HCN. We report crystal structures of ACCO in apo-form (2.1 Å resolution) and complexed with Fe(II) (2.55 Å) or Co(II) (2.4 Å). The active site contains a single Fe(II) ligated by three residues (His177, Asp179, and His234), and it is relatively open compared to those of the 2-oxoglutarate oxygenases. The side chains of Arg175 and Arg244, proposed to be involved in binding bicarbonate, project away from the active site, but conformational changes may allow either or both to enter the active site. The structures will form a basis for future mechanistic and inhibition studies.

Physiological and biochemical aspects of hydroxylations and demethylations catalyzed by human 2-oxoglutarate oxygenases
Trends in Biochemical Sciences, Volume 36, Issue 1, 1 January 2011, Pages 7-18
Christoph Loenarz and Christopher J. Schofield
AbstractPioneering work in the 1960s defined prolyl and lysyl hydroxylations as physiologically important oxygenase-catalyzed modifications in collagen biosynthesis; subsequent studies demonstrated that extracellular epidermal growth factor-like domains were hydroxylated at aspartyl and asparaginyl residues. More recent work on the hypoxia-sensing mechanism in animals has shown that prolyl and asparaginyl hydroxylation of the hypoxia-inducible transcription factor play central roles in sensing hypoxia, by regulating protein–protein interactions in an oxygen-dependent manner. The collective results imply that protein hydroxylation is more common than previously perceived. Most protein hydroxylases employ Fe(II) as a cofactor, and 2-oxoglutarate and oxygen as co-substrates. Related enzymes catalyze the demethylation of Nɛ-methyl lysine residues in histones and of N-methylated nucleic acids, as well as hydroxylation of 5-methyl cytosine in DNA and 5-methoxycarbonylmethyluridine at the wobble position of tRNA. The combination of new molecular biological and analytical techniques is likely to reveal further roles for oxygenase-mediated modifications to biomacromolecules.

SummaryPlants and microorganisms reduce environmental inorganic nitrogen to ammonium, which then enters various metabolic pathways solely via conversion of 2-oxoglutarate (2OG) to glutamate and glutamine. Cellular 2OG concentrations increase during nitrogen starvation. We recently identified a family of 2OG-sensing proteins—the nitrogen regulatory protein NrpR—that bind DNA and repress transcription of nitrogen assimilation genes. We used X-ray crystallography to determine the structure of NrpR regulatory domain. We identified the NrpR 2OG-binding cleft and show that residues predicted to interact directly with 2OG are conserved among diverse classes of 2OG-binding proteins. We show that high levels of 2OG inhibit NrpRs ability to bind DNA. Electron microscopy analyses document that NrpR adopts different quaternary structures in its inhibited 2OG-bound state compared with its active apo state. Our results indicate that upon 2OG release, NrpR repositions its DNA-binding domains correctly for optimal interaction with DNA thereby enabling gene repression.

- Flavonoids are common colorants in plants and have long-established biomedicinal properties. Anthocyanidin synthase (ANS), a 2-oxoglutarate iron-dependent oxygenase, catalyzes the penultimate step in the biosynthesis of the anthocyanin class of flavonoids. The crystal structure of ANS reveals a multicomponent active site containing metal, cosubstrate, and two molecules of a substrate analog (dihydroquercetin). An additional structure obtained after 30 min exposure to dioxygen is consistent with the oxidation of the dihydroquercetin to quercetin and the concomitant decarboxylation of 2-oxoglutarate to succinate. Together with in vitro studies, the crystal structures suggest a mechanism for ANS-catalyzed anthocyanidin formation from the natural leucoanthocyanidin substrates involving stereoselective C-3 hydroxylation. The structure of ANS provides a template for the ubiquitous family of plant nonhaem oxygenases for future engineering and inhibition studies.

Health authorities are monitoring international sea vessels in the Cebu International Port amid the heightened alert for the deadly variant of hand, foot and mouth disease from Cambodia.
Part of our job is to check the health conditions of international seafarers. We do this before the Bureau of Customs and Bureau of Immigration get to check the vessel, quarantine medical officer Dr. Terence Bermejo told Cebu Daily News.
While the Mactan Cebu International Airport (MCIA) has installed thermal scanners in the international arrival area, the Bureau of Quarantine is using a portable thermal scanner in examining the seafarers.
Compared to the previous health threats that entered the country, Bermejo is confident they are very prepared in dealing with the enterovirus 71 (EV 71) which causes the deadly hand, foot and mouth disease which claimed at least 52 children in Cambodia this month.
The authorities have also learned lessons from previous viruses that had affected the Philippines and neighboring countries like AH1N1, Bermejo said.
The best precautionary measures are always frequent hand washing and proper hygiene, Bermejo added.
The doctor also warned that there is a significant threat of exposure to the disease in crowded public places like malls.
Childrens toys must also be cleaned with soap and water to prevent contracting the fatal disease.
Although it was the first time EV-71 was identified in Cambodia, it was a well-known pathogen elsewhere in Asia.
The disease has exploded across the Asian region since 1997, when the first major outbreak was reported in Malaysia. Since then, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Mongolia, Taiwan and Australia have all wrangled with it.
From January to June this year, 356 people in China and 33 in Vietnam have died from the hand, foot and mouth disease, Bermejo added. /Jessa J. Agua, Correspondent with AP report

Biggest problem is comfort with the seat. I'm working on fitting it out specially for me, but I need a good seat pad to see me through several hours of paddling. Other than that, it seems to be a good fit for me.
It's weight doesn't bother me since I bought a trailer and the Alsek stays on there all the time. I just hook it up the Jeep and take off. Much easier than cartopping. Necky appears to have discontinued the Alsek. It isn't in the 2000 catalog. I think, perhaps, the Zoar Sport replaced it. Too bad, because I think it's a great boat.

Former Clemson commitment DB Dylan Sumner-Gardner of Mesquite, TX has a new favorite, and it's much closer to his home. Sumner-Gardner said Texas A&M now leads for him. "I like the atmosphere in College Station," he said. "I like the coaches and players and the defense they run." Sumner-Gardner has been to junior days at A&M and Baylor. He is going to Texas February 23rd and will also visit Texas Tech. He talked to Clemson defensive coordinator Brent Venables a week ago. "He called just to catch up and see how everything is going," he said. Sumner-Gardner says while he's favoring A&M, he's by no means closing in on another decision. "I'll probably take it slow and take some official visits," he said. "They (A&M) have a big lead, but not that big a lead because I'm just looking around." Sumner-Gardner said he hopes to get back to Clemson this summer.

Replying to: GPS Option on Newer Phones by broepke
Even when you have your phone set to Location On, your phone would still ask permission before sending your location to the site (although you could ask it to "remember" your preference so it would not ask again for that site).
But you could use it for things like finding the nearest movie theater, hotel, gas station, Chinese restaurant, etc., without entering a zip code or address. Pretty handy stuff, if carriers would get off their butts and launch it already...
AFAIK, the only U.S. carrier that has implemented LBS so far is AT&T, and their system is only tower-accurate (which means not very accurate). No one has launched LBS yet using the accurate systems required for E-911.

Week Two of the college season presents several key matchups:
Arizona at Oklahoma State
Thursday, 8 p.m., ESPN
Buzz: Arizona is looking for some payback in this rematch of last season's Alamo Bowl won by the Cowboys, 36-10. This one features two of the top three offensive quarterbacks in the nation with Arizona's Nick Foles (1st, 405.0 ypg) and OSU's Brandon Weeden (3rd, 382.0 ypg.). But keep your eyes on the wide receivers: Juron Criner of Arizona and Justin Blackmon of Oklahoma State. Both had over 125 yards receiving in their first games and both could test each other's secondary.
Mississippi State at Auburn
Saturday, 12:21 p.m., SEC Network
Buzz: The defending national champions had to rally from double-digits twice in Auburn's 42-38 win over Utah State in the opener. The Tigers defense surrendered 448 yards of total offense on 84 plays to the Aggies at home. Not a good sign considering Mississippi State put up 645 yards of total offense and 59 points against Memphis. The Bulldogs used a balance attack: 309 yards rushing, 336 yards passing led by running back Vick Ballard. Ballard had 166 yards rushing on 10 carries.
Alabama at Penn State
Saturday, 3:30 p.m., ABC
Buzz: Last season, these two squared off in Week Two with Alabama coming away with a 24-3 victory. While this year's Crimson Tide team might not have as many playmakers on offense, the defense is still downright nasty. Alabama held Kent State to just 90 total yards of offense including -9 yards of rushing. Penn State rushed for 245 yards on 48 carries in its 41-7 win over Indiana State. Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno has lost four of the last five meetings between these schools.
South Carolina at Georgia
Saturday, 4:30 p.m., ESPN
Buzz: South Carolina was the media's choice to win the SEC East Division with Georgia second. South Carolina's Marcus Lattimore made his SEC debut last season against the Bulldogs, rushing for 182 yards and two touchdowns. This season, Lattimoreis second in the SEC in rushing (112.0 ypg.). Georgia fans have already started circling the wagons after the 35-21 loss to Boise State. A loss to South Carolina could spell doom for Georgia's season and Mark Richt's time in Athens.
Notre Dame at Michigan
Saturday, 8 p.m., ESPN
Buzz: Mother Nature wasn't too kind to these two teams last week. Both suffered through long weather delays. These two hook up for the first-ever night game at Michigan Stadium. Last season, Denard Robinson had a breakout game that propelled him into the national spotlight. This season, Robinson is working in a new offensive scheme under first-year coach Brady Hoke. Notre Dame looked horrible against USF last week, and needs to clear up its quarterback issues.

These are the URLs to my journal entries for specific dates. I'll be adding them in a piece-meal fashion, as the Spirit moves me. Most of the early entries are still in hand written form and need to be transcribed. I also have 10-1/2 hours of audio tapes to transcribe. Since 1988, I've been making my journal entries directly into various PCs, so they probably show up first.
Because I went digital back in 1988, I've got copies of my correspondence here, both e-mail and annual Ramadan/Christmas mailings. Sometimes, I'm compelled by circumstances to don my Cloak of Righteous Indignation. Sometimes, these things get published. Sometimes, I'm just in a Bad Mood and want to flame.
This was the year I left Kodak, met Chic, and photographed Joni (the Wood Nymph). Most of the material on my photography career pages was produced in this year … the rest date back to 1968.
This was the year that I decided to give up photography as a career, Chic and I parted company, and I started taking Computer Science courses at RIT. Most of this year is on audio tape (about 10½ hours worth) that I have not even cataloged, let alone started to transcribe. A lot of it is just rambling while smoking pot. <sigh!>
Well, this was the year that I began my relationship with Lorraine, probably the longest and most healthy (least damaging?) relationship I had between my two marriages. I was into wearing bib-overalls (Oshkosh, b'gosh!) and added a graphics board and speech synthesizer to my 8-bit single-board computer.
This was the year that I met Ann, and I started keeping the journals on a palm-top computer.
This was the year that I wrote a lot of entries in airports between flights - Computervision sent me to Europe - twice! Oh, yeah … I met Patrick Stewart in Manhattan.
This was the year I moved from Lowell to Freeman Lake, bought the Adm. Gracie, and got laid off from Computervision.
This was the year that I replaced Onion (the DEC Rainbow 100) with Brucilla (a 486/33), and replaced the HP InkJet printer with an HP LaserJet.
This was the year I suffered a stoke on May 5th … the Mexican's Cinquo de Mayo or "The Day of the Dead"
Yeah, well, this is pretty spotty, because it's still too soon to expose on the infobahn.
This year is still under construction … D'oh!

Looks like someone is ready to cut loose...and not just on the dance floor.
While promoting her new flick "Footloose," Julianne Hough has rocked several chic outfits including a red top and matching shorts, a sparkly midnight blue dress and a tuxedo-inspired number.
VOTE: Which look was hotter on Julianne?
And on Monday night, the 23-year-old dancer-turned-actress, went for her sexiest, most daring look yet at the Yahoo Hollywood Movie Awards.
Hough wowed in a plunging gold beaded cocktail dress straight off designer Naeem Khan's Spring 2012 runway. In addition to showing off tons of cleavage, the hot frock was also backless.
PHOTOS: How to get Julianne's Emmy's hairstyle
The former "Dancing With the Stars" pro recently revealed how she maintains her killer physique. "I vary my workouts every day because, otherwise, I get bored," she said in the November issue of Self magazine. "I always try to run for 20 to 40 minutes on the beach first. Six days a week is fantastic, but four is great too."

John Hwang, Dean of CCBC | Costa Mesa
Calvary Chapel Bible College | Costa Mesa is a Discipleship and Bible training ministry of Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, California. Our desire is to encourage Christians to grow deeper and go further in his and her relationship with Jesus. The Christian life is meant to be progressive; not static or stagnant. 2 Peter 3:18 says, "Grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ." With this in mind, we aim at providing a Christ-centered and Bible-saturated environment that is conducive for both learning and serving. Our classes, taught by Calvary Chapel pastors and teachers, cover a wide range of subjects – from Bible Survey to verse-by-verse, in-depth Bible-book studies; from Biblical Theology to Biblical languages; from Church History to Christian Missions. Each course is designed to teach students to "rightly divide the word of truth", and to equip them for "the work of the ministry".
Besides receiving God's word, we believe students need to share it with others in loving and practical ways. This is an important part of the learning and growing process. For this reason, we seek to provide students with opportunities to "live-out the Gospel" in both community and commission. In community, Christians are interacting with Christians inside and outside the classroom. Our desire is to see God develop these acquaintances into strong and healthy relationships that display real Christian fellowship. For this reason, we schedule special events and activities that bring people together for a great time of fellowship and fun.
In commission, we are a part of fulfilling Christ's global mandate: "Go…and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age (Matthew 28:19-20)." We are on mission, proclaiming the Good News about God's Son and salvation to the world. This is in the DNA of CCBC | Costa Mesa, so we encourage students to participate in local and cross-cultural outreaches. In connection with Calvary Chapel of Costa Mesa, students can be a part of street evangelism, convalescent home ministry, homeless ministry, Beachside Summerfest, Vision, U.K. CreationFest, and much more.
CCBC | Costa Mesa is a great place to invest a part of your life as either a full-time or part-time student. We are certain that the time you spend here devoted to God's word will result in lifelong dividends. We invite you to study God's word, grow in your relationship with Jesus, and be on mission with us. We look forward to serving you here at CCBC | Costa Mesa.

The EcoChic Design Award China 2012
Posted on May 22, 2012 by waikit
Redress launches The EcoChic Design Award China 2012, a sustainable fashion design competition challenging emerging fashion designers to create mainstream fashion with minimal textile waste. The competition provides designers with the sustainable design tools to take them through six months of design and theory that culminates at a grand final runway show at Shanghai Fashion Week in October. Twelve grand finalists will then compete for the chance to design a sustainable collection for retailer Esprit, visit John Hardy's sustainable Bali-based production facilities and visit Hong Kong Fashion Week.
"Everyone is a fashion consumer yet few people consider the underlying environmental impacts embedded into our clothing, including textile waste, water pollution, chemical and energy use. Through The EcoChic Design Award, we are ultimately addressing these negative environmental outcomes by going to the source of the fashion industry to educate emerging fashion designers," said Christina Dean, founder of Redress.
The award is supported by a number of high profile personalities from the fashion industry, including award ambassador Zhu Zhu
"The fashion industry is loved for its creativity and expression but it is one of the world's most polluting industries. With China being the garment manufacturing hub of the world, the negative impacts arising from the fashion industry are close to home. Few people realize that designers influence an estimated 80 percent of the environmental impact of a product. It is crucial to encourage and educate emerging fashion designers about their important role in making tomorrow's fashion industry more sustainable' said model and actress Zhu Zhu (朱珠)
More broadly, the competition raises industry and consumer awareness about the negative environmental impacts caused by waste from the fashion industry. It is estimated that 10 million tonnes of textiles are wasted annually in Europe and America alone1 and that 15 percent of textiles are wasted in the manufacturing process2. With China being the largest exporter of apparel and textiles in the world, responsible for making approximately 40 percent of the world's textiles3 and 30 percent of apparel exports4; figures for China's textile waste appear very high.
Calling local designers to break the boundaries of conventional fashion
The EcoChic Design Award puts the spotlight onto China's emerging sustainable fashion design talent, creating a platform to expand Asia's sustainable fashion landscape. The competition is open to fashion design students and designers with up to five years industry experience residing in China.

Raised res iPad 2 to sport four-core chip?
2048 x 1536 graphics, anyone?
Requirements Checklist for Choosing a Cloud Backup and Recovery Service Provider
First out of the starting gate this Monday morning: iPad 2 speculation has gone into overdrive, with talk of a dual-core processor and a quadrupling of the 10.1in display's pixel count.
That would take the tablet's screen resolution to a whopping 2048 x 1536, higher than a full HD TV. The rumour started with a piece on Endgadet claiming the iPad 2 will sport a rather higher resolution than the current version does.
The claimed resolution followed separately, by guesswork. Since Apple double the horizontal and vertical pixel counts when it introduced the iPhone 4's "retina display", from 320 x 480 to 640 x 960, it's not unreasonable to assume it'll do the same with the iPad at some point.
That would be easier on developers, not least because Apple put in place a mechanism to deal with it. iOS coders can add two sets of graphics to their apps: one set plainly named for the 'old' resolution and a second, double-size set with "@x2" suffixed to the filename plus an statement of hardware type, for example: 'email@example.com' or 'email@example.com'. iOS then automatically displays the correct image.
A greater number of pixels requires extra memory and a beefier graphics chip, so it follows that if its screen resolution is doubled, the iPad 2 will need plenty more Ram - 1GB at least, possibly 2GB - and a more powerful GPU. AppleInsider reckons it'll be Imagination Technologies' PowerVR SGX543MP2, based on word from a "source familiar with Apple's graphics strategy".
The SGX543MP2 has two cores that, if necessary, can work as one. The second powers down when it's not needed, to conserve battery life.
That, if integrated into the ARM Cortex A8-based chip Apple calls A4, would be enough to justify a nomenclature upgrade to A5, but the Engadget report says the new part will be based on ARM's Cortex A9 design. It can comprise two CPU cores, and we can well see Apple touting the system-on-a-chip as a quad-core design. Eat that, Tegra 2, etc, etc.
Indeed, all the claimed features would allow Apple to maintain some clear blue water between the iPad's feature list and those of the incoming new breed of tablets running Android 3.0.
Moles also suggest Apple is migrating to a Qualcomm chipset for future iPhone and - presumably - iPad wireless connectivity, the better to support both GSM/Edge/HSPA 3G and CDMA/EvDO standards more cheaply. Having entirely separate hardware for these network technologies - the latter is required by Verizon - isn't cost effective.
Reports continue to claim the iPad 2 will have front- and rear-facing cameras, but it's once again being suggested that the new model will indeed incorporate an SD card slot.
The finished product can't be far off. Mac Rumors reports that not only has an iPad 2 screen appeared on a Chinese parts supply website, but US retail giant Best Buy briefly has three new Wi-Fi iPad entries listed in its database. All of these have since been removed. ®
Yeah, right
What a ludicrous rumour - there's about as much chance of them doubling the iPad's resolution from its original specs as there is of them doubling the iPhones's resolution from its original specs. It's never going to happen.
The iPad is just a fad anyway. It's never going to sell.
And you know what - Apple hardware is overpriced!!! It's all hype, and hipsters with too much money. This needs to be said!
iPad 1 is £429 and requires no contract of any kind. So I don't know where you get your £1000+ pricing and contract ideas from.
Wrong Aspect Ratio
To avoid a nasty scaling mess the resolution needs to be an integer multiplier of the existing iPad (as the iPhone 4 was 2x of the iPhone 3) therefore I think 2048x1536 is much more likely than a widescreen resolution (1920x1280) OR a non-integer scale of a 4:3 resolution (1920x1440).

The Lookout: A Weekly Guide to Shows You Won't Want to Miss
With an ever-growing number of galleries scattered around New York, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Where to begin? Here at A.i.A., we are always on the hunt for thought-provoking, clever and memorable shows that stand out in a crowded field. Below is a selection of current shows our team of editors can't stop talking about.
This week we check out Rosemarie Trockel (and friends) at the New Museum, a half-dozen Abstract Expressionist gems at Mitchell-Innes & Nash and Roland Flexner's mesmerizing monochromatic ink drawings at D'Amelio.
Roland Flexner at D'Amelio, through Nov. 24
Though Roland Flexner has been living and working in New York for 30 years, the French-born artist's Japanese-inspired abstract landscape drawings didn't become well-known until they were included in the 2010 Whitney Biennale. Here, Flexner shows 100 new modestly-scaled works made by gently manipulating (via blowing through a straw or tilting the paper, for example) liquid graphite and violet or gold calligraphy ink.
Rosemarie Trockel at the New Museum, through Jan. 20
"Rosemarie Trockel: A Cosmos" is a very unusual and thoroughly engaging survey spanning some 40 years. Not only does it impress by demonstrating the range and scope of the German artist's own endeavors, but also by including work by artists who have influenced and inspired her over the years. Working in a wide variety of mediums, from film and installation to textiles and ceramics, Trockel is nothing if not obsessive, which explains her connection to outsiders like James Castle and Judith Scott, with whom she generously shares part of the exhibition space.
Helen Frankenthaler, Morris Louis, Kenneth Noland and Frank Stella at Mitchell-Innes & Nash, through Nov. 24
Don't miss this unusual opportunity to see a room full of Color Field paintings by four of the genre's most prominent artists. Here you can get up close and personal with the vibrantly stained canvases--no glass or line on the floor cautioning you to stay a foot or two away; Frankenthaler's two paintings, hung on adjacent walls towards the back of the gallery, are particularly rich and layered.
Stephen Mueller at Lennon, Weinberg, through Dec. 8
This, the first posthumous solo exhibition for painter and A.i.A. contributor Stephen Mueller, who died last fall, focuses on his output from the last four years. During this fertile period, Mueller refined a unique and personal type of ethereal abstraction featuring mandala-like shapes and brilliant colors, creating a cogent and luminous means for meditation.
Ruth Hardinger and Jon Bird at Sideshow, through Dec. 9
Ruth Hardinger—long known to New York viewers for her graphite abstractions, Mexican-influenced textiles and rope-hung installations—has here scattered small sculptural form across the gallery floors. Some, called "Envoys," are vaguely anthropomorphic, while others feature ephemeral containers (milk cartons, etc.) cast in raw concrete interlarded with cardboard: a mediation on sustainability and waste. That's the "Culture" half of this two-person show, in which "Nature" is represented by the muted, stylized landscapes of the veteran British painter Jon Bird.
Doug Rickard at Yossi Milo, through Nov. 24
Doug Rickard's low-res images-all photographs of Rickard's computer screen showing urban scenes immortalized with Google Street View-depict various down-and-out American cities. Anyone familiar with the Wire will immediately recognize Baltimore's red brick buildings and abandoned row houses. Most of the prints include the blurry figures of those who happened to crossing the street or sitting on a stoop when Google's camera's passed through.
"The Lookout" is compiled by A.i.A. associate editor Leigh Anne Miller.

Guess there were some legitimate concerns after all...
New "Smart Meters" Can Overheat, Cause Fires | NBC 10 Philadelphia
Guess there were some legitimate concerns after all...
New "Smart Meters" Can Overheat, Cause Fires | NBC 10 Philadelphia
When you say smart meters will give you cancer and cause the government to spy on you and then it just burns down your house it doesn't make you any more right.
An initial investigation of the first six cases investigated showed a problem occurred when the new smart meter was hooked up to a house that preexisting conditions at the home like bad wiring, PECO spokeswoman Cathy Engel Mendendez said.
It's the equivalent of saying we shouldn't have cars because they are unsafe based on the Pinto.
Adam, that kind of superficial thinking is what inspired self serving chemical companies to vilify and call crazy the research of Rachel Carson who told us that chemicals and pesticides cause cancer and illness.
From a scientist dealing with security in military - investigates and develops technology to save lives.
"Smart meters are not Underwriter Laboratory approved. Not only do smart meters pose a cyber security threat on a scale never before seen, add additional"dirty" RF energy causing health problems, but they are a fire hazard as well. Your insurance company will not cover the damage from the fire since it is not UL approved. The emerging Broad Band Over Power Line assault on our society, worse I suspect even than the Smart Meter problem."
1) Has installation been postponed or cancelled by PECO, I have a Friday morning appointment?
2) I heard it said that the issue was with hardware produced in Mexico, and/or by a single manufacturer? T/F
I can answer my own question; PECO called to cancel the installation due to limited resources.
In other words, I think their supply of good meters is depleted.
I have no issue with people who are concerned due to a potential fire risk. This is, of course, assuming it can be shown that they are significantly more at risk of overheating and catching fire, and said fires can't be reasonably explained as just due to a wiring issue.
It's the people that buy into the idea that they're either part of a government conspiracy or they give off dangerous radiation that causes cancer that I take issue with.
Radio waves in some extremes can be harmful, but that's not what we're talking about here. It's not good for you to stand in front of the emitter of a microwave transmission tower, or if you somehow managed to bypass the interlocks on a microwave oven door so that it would operate while open.
In the vast majority of cases encountered on a day to day basis, such as smart meters, like you said though, they are perfectly harmless.
I am a little confused. The article says that PECO stopped installing new meters. It is dated 8/17, but my meter was replaced last Thurs - 9/7. Anyone know the explanation?
Wow. The NBC10 article is a lot more hair raising, then the article I read on Philly.com. The article I read made it seem like PECO was shutting things down to give them time to study the meters. The article in this thread makes it sound like I should immediately move to a cave in Australia.
In any case here is a more recent article:
Pennsylvania PUC expands review of Peco's overheating smart meters
They are still looking into things. But, they are also updating the software in the meters to automatically shut down when they start to overheat. This seems like a reasonable precaution. It sounds like the installers either need more training, or they need to pay attention to their training a lot more.

Dental Care
2001 2003 2005 2007
Alphabetically Numerically
Show All Less than 6 months ago 6 to 12 months ago More than 12 months ago Never had a dental visit
Definition: Percentage of children by length of time since their last dental visit. Figures for 2001, 2003, and 2007 include children ages 2-17, while 2005 figures include children ages 2-11 (use caution in comparing years).
Data Source: UCLA Center for Health Policy Research, California Health Interview Survey. Accessed online at http://www.chis.ucla.edu/ (Retrieved March 19, 2009).
Footnote: These estimates are based on a survey of the population and are subject to both sampling and nonsampling error. In 2007, the margin of error at the 95% confidence level for the percentage of children in California who visited a dentist within the past six months was ±1.3. Margins of error for individual counties were larger. LNE (Low Number Events) refers to data that have been suppressed because there were fewer than 50 unweighted cases in the denominator. N/A means that data are not available. Estimates for 2003, 2005, and 2007 include data for younger children who had teeth at the time of the survey. For more information about the California Health Interview Survey and for detailed margins of error around specific data points, see http://www.chis.ucla.edu/.
Measures of Dental Care on Kidsdata.org
On kidsdata.org, measures of dental care include the percentage of children who have dental insurance and the percentage of children who recently visited a dentist.
Why This Topic Is Important
Tooth decay is the most common chronic disease among children ages 6-18 (1). Untreated dental problems, such as cavities and gum disease, can affect a child's health and quality of life by leading to pain, nutritional and sleep problems, impaired concentration, and increased school absences, as well as lost work hours for parents (2, 3, 4). If dental disease is not treated early, it can result in the need for more serious and expensive intervention later on (2). Tooth decay and other oral diseases disproportionately affect low-income children, children of color, and the uninsured (1, 5). Those children, compared to their peers, are less likely to receive routine dental check-ups, which are critical for preventing tooth decay. For this reason, the federal government has set a public health goal focused on improving access to preventive dental services for low-income children (6).

Policy Implications
All children need access to high quality, affordable dental care. Among low-income families, finding dentists who accept public insurance can be a particular challenge. Even for higher-income families, dental care may be financially out of reach if they do not have dental coverage. Disparities are persistent among African American/Black and Latino children compared to other children, and must be addressed (1). California law requires an oral health assessment before starting school, which can help ensure early dental care. However, budget pressures led California to suspend the Children's Dental Disease Prevention Program, the only statewide public program to provide school-based, oral health services to children. Fluoridated water has been successful in reducing cavities among children (6), but it is not available everywhere in California. According to research and subject experts, policy options that could influence children's dental care include:

How Children Are Faring
In California, 80.0% of children had dental insurance in 2007, but that percentage ranged widely among counties, from 91.0% in Solano County to 65.0% in Nevada County. In 2007, 62.3% of California children had a dental visit in the past 6 months, up from 55.6% in 2001. However, 12.9% of children ages 2-17 had never visited a dentist in 2007.

Information for Sophomores: Guidance Services in the Tenth Grade Year
The counselor/student/family relationship continues to grow during sophomore year as we meet with students to provide counseling and encouragement. The sophomore year is an exciting one for students as it officially marks the end of their first year transition to the high school. Oftentimes people feel the sophomore year is the forgotten year. We in guidance definitely disagree. Having completed one year of Wayland High School, sophomores now better understand the culture and expectations, and have numerous new opportunities and choices ahead. Some are easy choices, like: What courses should I take? When can I get my license? Other choices are more difficult like: How do I navigate the new social scene when a lot of my friends can now drive to gatherings and events? What do I do when one of my friends starts making poor choices with regard to substance use? Please know that counselors are here to help you to discuss a myriad of issues. We are here to support you and your family with academic, social and developmental issues as you navigate through adolescence while at Wayland High School. Your counselors will reconnect with you through individual meetings and Sophomore Seminars, but please come in any time, we would love to see you! Please see your counselor if you have questions about anything; we love to help!
One of the first decisions a sophomore needs to make is whether to take the PSAT/NMSQT. Later in the year it may be advisable to take one or more SAT II: Subject Area Tests. This is an individual decision and the student should see the counselor for advice. Please review the new WHS Testing Page for more information
Prior to preliminary course selection in March, the guidance counselors meet with all sophomores in Sophomore Seminars to discuss program planning for junior and senior years and to present an overview of the post-secondary planning process that commences formally in the junior year. Testing requirements are reviewed and students provided access to their Naviance accounts to begin their career and college search.
In addition, tenth graders meet with their counselors for more individual course and future planning in the early spring. This is the time to review diploma requirements and to develop a more definite plan for junior and senior year.
Attention Sophomores: Missed a Sophomore Seminar? See your counselor to go over what you missed. Also, click here for a quick review and to-do list.

Untitled 1 (Hyperborea)
122 x 152 cm
Dan Holdsworth's awe-striking photographs appear so otherworldly it is almost impossible to believe that such sites could exist. Exploring the farthest reaches of the earth to capture such scenes, Holdsworth uses only traditional photographic methods to achieve the effect of his strange, futuristic landscapes. Reconstructing the notion of the romantic sublime for the 21st century, Holdsworth's practice is consumed with investigating the unknown: pushing the peripheries of time, space, and consciousness beyond the limits of ordinary perception.
