The Barnes House was built in the 19th century by the Barnes family, a local family of African American and American Indian descent. Eppa Barnes and Amanda Lambert Barnes were married on July 1, 1875, in Prince William County and raised 12 children at the home. Eppa Barnes was known as a farmer and woodsman; Amanda Barnes was a midwife early in the marriage and later became a school teacher.
This house was built just east of Independent Hill on the edge of Route 234, near what is now the Prince William County Landfill. In the 1930s the Barnes House, a Tidewater-style home, was renowned as a showplace for its flowers and beautiful decorations. The Barnes family no longer owns the property, but the family contributed greatly to this community.
Prince William County has moved the Barnes House from its original site in order to protect it from destruction during the widening of Route 234.Currently County staff is exploring options to move the home to a permanent location. The ultimate goal is to restore the home and use it for interpreting Prince William County's rich African American heritage.
The Barnes House was moved to the site of the new Montclair Library. It will serve as a reading room and special location for community events. There will be opportunities to interpret our local history with this house serving as the backdrop. It was restored and modernized to help preserve this important place in our community's history.

Not sure how much you want to trust a guy named Fran, but he says:
The Raptors could certainly use help at a number of spots, but I like them rebuilding their team with a front line that includes high-character Ohio State star Sullinger and 2011 first-round selection Jonas Valanciunas, the 6-11 Lithuanian 20-year-old who spent the past season playing in Europe.
Sullinger may not have the elite athleticism you'd want out of an NBA power forward, but he has always thrived on his toughness around the basket, his outstanding fundamentals and great basketball acumen. He drew an average of 6.1 fouls per 40 minutes this season and shoots a shade under 70 percent from the foul line. In a league full of undersized forwards, he'll get opponents in foul trouble.
Valanciunas, who dominated the Under-19 world championships last summer and who played well this season in EuroCup play, has some toughness of his own. His length and defensive potential at center will complement Sullinger's scoring and rebounding potential as well.
The two 20-year olds won't make the Raptors a playoff team, but it is a good start.

September 16, Twenty-fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time. Cycle B. Readings:
1) Isaiah 50:5-9a
Psalm 116:1-6, 8-9
2) James 2:14-18
Gospel) Mark 8:27-35
These readings are not the favorites of those who want to persuade you that simply believing will bring you to eternal life. The James passage, linked to Jesus' separation of sheep and goats in Matthew 25, suggests we're expected to help one another.
The Isaiah reading foreshadows Jesus' suffering before his accusers. The psalm points toward the necessity of trusting God and seeing his blessing and protection of those who call out to him.
After Jesus rebukes Peter for his attempt to turn Him from the path of suffering and the cross, Jesus tells his followers that anyone who wishes to follow Him must take up his or her own cross.
Though we all hope we will not face persecution and death because of our beliefs, we each must face our own mortality. We all will suffer loss, disease, perhaps disability and other lesser struggles and pains.
The summer school student walking down the hall on her last day of the session had a decided limp. My wife Susan, who had taught her during the school year, happened to see her.
The girl wore a long dress in the hope that no one would see the large swollen area on top of her foot. But Susan inquired about the limp and asked to see the sore spot. It was a vicious infection.
She took her to the emergency room of the public hospital not far from the Tanzanian refugee's home. Nine hours later, the girl had had the boil on her foot lanced, received two types of antibiotic, been instructed on how to tend the wound, and was on her way home.
Though there had been no trace of a smile when the student was receiving treatment, when we checked on her the next morning, a broad smile lit up her features.
In the process of helping her student, Susan learned that she is fluent in three African languages - plus French - and writes praise songs for the African choir at her church.
God does indeed care for his children, and sometimes he uses us to get the job done - just in time.
When have you been on the receiving end of God showing his care for his children through others? Is God calling you to serve the needs of others in your community?

Whipple's disease is caused by a specific type of bacteria. It causes abnormal changes on the wall of the small intestine. These changes disrupt the villi. Villi are tiny, finger-like structures that stick out from the wall of the intestine to help absorb nutrients. As a result, some nutrients are not absorbed properly and do not reach the rest of the body.
Risk Factors
There is no evidence that Whipple's disease is passed from person to person. But, there is some evidence that the bacteria may be present in people who are healthy. This suggests that the few people who develop the disease may have an abnormal response to the bacteria. Some people with Whipple's disease may have a genetic defect that makes them more likely to develop the disease. Whipple's disease occurs mainly in middle-aged men.
This disease can affect many parts of the body. The small intestine is the main organ affected. Symptoms usually begin slowly and occur in stages. The first stage includes:
- Pain in the joints (in 90% of cases)
- Fever
The disease is usually not diagnosed until several years later when additional symptoms may develop. These include:
- Pain and bloating in the abdomen
- Diarrhea
- Fatty, foul-smelling stools
- Bleeding from the intestines
- Weight loss
- Weakness
- Fatigue (often from anemia)
- Cough and chest pain
- Increased skin pigmentation (in 50% of cases)
- Swollen lymph glands
If the disease is not treated, this second stage may last for a number of years. Then, more severe symptoms may occur due to the lack of nutrients reaching different parts of the body. Symptoms may occur in any part of the body, but most likely the heart, nervous system, brain, lungs, eyes, or skin. If the disease still is not treated, it usually causes death in this third stage.
The doctor will ask about your symptoms and medical history. A physical exam will be done.
Taking antibiotics can cure Whipple's disease. Often, a combination of antibiotics is used. Your doctor will work with you to find the best types and doses for you. Antibiotics may be given orally or by IV.
If you have a more severe case of Whipple's disease, you may also need intravenous antibiotics, fluid, and electrolyte replacement when you begin treatment. Electrolytes are salts and other substances in your body fluid that your heart and brain need to work properly. You may also need to take supplements of certain vitamins and minerals that your body is not absorbing normally on its own. These may include:
- Iron
- Folate
- Vitamins A, B12, D, E, and K
- Calcium
- Magnesium
Symptoms usually go away after a few weeks to a few months on antibiotics. Your doctor may check your progress with the PCR test to see if any of the disease-causing bacteria are left. However, you will still need to take antibiotics for 1-2 years to prevent the disease from returning.

It's more than the cost; it's long-term peace of mind.
That's the message from Eleanor Blayney, the CFP Board's consumer advocate, who advises Americans to consider several factors before deciding to pay the federal penalty and forego health insurance.
In the latest installment of CFP Board's Let's Talk Planning blog and the third feature in its "Let's Talk Obamacare" series, Blayney acknowledges the "highly controversial nature" of the Affordable Care Act, enrollment provisions of which are set to begin in October. During the open enrollment period, approximately 12 million Americans currently without insurance will have three months to make the decision as to whether to purchase health care coverage or pay a penalty for noncompliance.
"Many, but by no means all, uninsured individuals are American adults under the age of 30, who mostly enjoy the robust good health that comes with youth," Blayney (right) says. "Medical costs, let alone health insurance, are often pretty low on their list of financial concerns.
She adds that facing the choice to buy insurance or pay a penalty, they may resort to "simple math" and conclude that $95 is a lot more affordable than the $3,000 or $4,000 that is currently being estimated as the cost.
Before opting to pay the penalty, the following factors should be considered:
- Rising penalties for having no insurance – In 2014, uninsured Americans will be required to obtain health insurance or pay a penalty equal to the greater of $95 per adult and $47.50 per child, or one percent of family income. In 2015, the penalty rises to the greater of $325 per adult (half as much for each child) or two percent of income. In 2016 and beyond, the penalties rise even further.
"The likely reality is that it's going to cost more for the uninsured to get health care coverage under the Affordable Care Act, relative to what it costs now," Blayney concludes. "But the financial math needs to factor in not just the hard, out-of-pocket costs today, but the potential costs of being without insurance."

Tagged: Justin Upton
JD Gets Outmanuevered
Mike Napoli? Signs with Red Sox.
Koji Uehara? Signs with Red Sox.
Zack Greinke? Signs with Dodgers.
Justin Upton? Stays with Arizona.
James Shields? Traded to Kansas City.
Josh Hamilton? Signs with the Angels.
Just a couple short weeks ago, the word from Nashville was that the Rangers were dominating the Winter Meetings. Two weeks later, virtually every player speculated about going to the Rangers has gone elsewhere.
And such is the cycle of baseball. Jon Daniels has been the Boy Wonder of General Managers for the past five years. Today he is an also-ran, victim of his own success.
This isn't to say that JD isn't a good GM. He's one of the best and has put together one of the best farm systems in the majors. Baseball, though, is a big poker game with the GM's when it comes to trades and free agents and it's quite likely his brethren have learned JD's "tells".
In the case of Hamilton, there was too much honesty for his own good. It was well-publicized that Hamilton was willing to let the Rangers top the best offer he got. The longer the process went, the more it became apparent how far the Rangers were willing to go and that was four years, so Jerry DiPoto offered Josh five.
Arizona used Daniels to get what they wanted, which was a lot. By dangling Justin Upton out there, they found so many offers involving the Rangers and other players that could help them that they cut side deals to get all those players and now have no need to trade Upton.
Greinke? Well, the Dodgers are spending like drunken sailors. That was a long-shot anyway.
As for Shields, he was Daniels' back-up plan should Greinke not work out, but the Rays got tired of waiting so they worked out the deal with Kansas City and probably got a better return than they would have from Texas.
Now speculation is already rife that the Angels will turn around and trade one of their now spare outfielders to the Mets in return for RA Dickey, another Rangers target.
At this point, there's very little Texas can do to respond to these moves. There's not much in the free agent market anymore that will strengthen the team. There's a very good chance the 2013 Rangers will contain a lot of mentions of Profar, Olt, Martin and Perez, youngsters who will be given a good shot at playing time. This is also still a very good team. They may not win the West in 2013, but putting the youngsters in now could pay huge dividends in 2014.
Still, Rangers fans have every right to think the front office should have been more aggressive than they were this off-season. Much as Jon Daniels deserves a lot of credit for building the Rangers into World Series contenders, he has been outmaneuvered at every turn this off-season.
Losing Hamilton doesn't make me distrust the Rangers' front office. It does make me think Jon Daniels needs to adapt his style of playing poker.

Gio accepts invite to pitch for Team USA
By Evan Drellich / MLB.com
Team USA has picked up a big-name southpaw.
Nationals left-hander Gio Gonzalez has accepted an invitation to join a rotation that already includes reigning National League Cy Young Award winner R.A. Dickey, Ryan Vogelsong of the Giants and Derek Holland of the Rangers.
Gonzalez replaces Kris Medlen of the Braves, who had been slated to play.
Rosters for the World Baseball Classic will not be formally announced until they're finalized on Feb. 20.
Gonzalez, 27, led the NL in wins in 2012, with 21, one ahead of Dickey (who is now with the Blue Jays). He recorded a 2.89 ERA and struck out 207 in 199 1/3 innings. Tigers ace Justin Verlander hasn't publicly decided yet whether he'll participate in the Classic, which makes a front three of Verlander, Dickey and Gonzalez at least a remote possibility.
Team USA will gather at the Salt River Fields at Talking Stick complex in Scottsdale, Ariz., on March 4 and open its leg of the 16-team tournament against Mexico at Chase Field in Phoenix on March 8. Canada and Italy are the other two teams in the bracket. The final is scheduled to be played at San Francisco's AT&T Park on March 19.
Gonzalez's decision to participate comes shortly after he was linked to a Miami anti-aging clinic that Major League Baseball is investigating for distributing performance-enhancing drugs.

A risk factor is something that increases your likelihood of getting a disease or condition.
It is possible to develop headaches with or without the risk factors listed below. However, the more risk factors you have, the greater your likelihood of developing headaches. If you have a number of risk factors, ask your doctor what you can do to reduce your risk.
Risk Factors for Tension Headache
Emotional stress, fatigue, or anger can result in tension headaches. Other risk factors include smoking and having too little physical activity, and too little sleep.
Certain conditions are associated with tension headaches and tightening of the muscles in the neck, face, and scalp. These include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Teeth clenching or grinding
- Gum chewing in children
- Sleep apnea
- Arthritis in the neck
- Being overweight
Risk Factors for Migraine
Lifestyle triggers can vary from person to person. Some reported triggers include
- Skipping meals
- Too much or too little sleep
- Emotional events
- Smoking
- Depression or anxiety
- Excessive alcohol use and hangovers
- Loud or sudden noises
Certain foods can also trigger a migraine. Keep a food diary to help you learn which foods or food additives may cause your migraines. Triggers may include
- Aspartame
- Caffeine or caffeine withdrawal
- Alcohol
- Chocolate
- Aged cheeses
- Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
- Certain fruits and nuts
- Fermented or pickled goods
- Cured or processed meats
Use of certain medications may trigger a migraine, including:
- Birth control pills or hormone replacement therapy; there may be some relationship between female hormones and migraines
- Headache remedies used on a daily or near daily basis
The highest incidence is in teenage years.
Migraine headaches are more common among females.
Migraines seem to run in families.
Migraines may be triggered by blood vessels overreacting to a variety of factors, including:
- Menstruation
- Fatigue
- Changes in altitude, weather, or time-zone
- Glaring lights
- Perfumes or other odors
Risk Factors for Cluster Headache
Cluster headaches seem to occur more often in smokers.
Having head surgery or a head injury increases your risk of cluster headache.
Risk is greatest between 20-50 years old.
Males are at greater risk for cluster headaches than females.
Risk Factors for Sinus Headache
Certain medical conditions increase nasal secretions and cause swelling in the tissues lining the nasal passages. These changes lead to nasal congestion and stuffiness. The nasal passages become blocked and normal drainage cannot occur. Secretions that are trapped in the sinuses may become infected with bacteria or, rarely, fungus. The swollen tissues or infection may create pain and pressure.
Conditions that increase sinus pressure and increase your risk of sinus headache include:
- Allergies
- Persistent cold or upper respiratory infection
- Ear infections
- Nasal polyps
- Nasal deformities, such as a deviated septum
- Cystic fibrosis
- Problems with the immune system
- Prior sinus surgery
- Facial injuries that block sinus passages

The Graham Claytor Award, determined by the Railway Age publisher and editors, is given annually and is based largely on a lifetime of achievement by individuals who have contributed to the advancement of passenger rail in America.
"Bob VanderClute is a very deserving recipient not only for his service at Amtrak, but also for his work at AAR on critical safety initiatives with both freight and passenger rail operators," said Vantuono.
"Bob has tremendous leadership and experience that has helped advance major rail industry safety, security, and operational initiatives critical to keeping our nation's railroads the best in the world," said AAR President and CEO Edward R. Hamberger.
VanderClute's railroading career spans more than 40 years. Since 2003, he has been the SVP of Operations at AAR. In this role, he oversees the railroad industry's homeland security plan, equipment interchange standards, car service rules, quality assurance programs, and safety initiatives in the environmental, hazardous materials, and communications and signals areas. He oversees tank car safety and design standards. VanderClute also serves as the industry liaison with the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Federal Railroad Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, The Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Communications Commission, and other regulatory bodies.
Prior to joining AAR, VanderClute was with Parsons Brinckerhoff (PB), where he led the company's international passenger rail activities, including major high speed rail projects in the U.K. (West Coast Route Modernization Project), China, and Taiwan.
Prior to his position with PB, VanderClute was Amtrak's Vice President of Operations and Chief Operating Officer, with responsibility for the day-to-day operations of the company's entire passenger rail network. During his years at Amtrak, the corporation implemented high speed rail on the Northeast Corridor, embarked on a $6 billion infrastructure improvement program, replaced virtually its entire motive power and car fleet, and became the largest contract carrier of commuter rail services in North America.
VanderClute got started in the rail industry at the New York Central Railroad after graduating with a degree in transportation from the University of Tennessee.

I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction today... had to break away for a meeting unfortunately... thanks to every one for taking part.
Good comments, everyone! I had to jump to a phone call, but I'm reading in. Have a great weekend!
Tons of thoughtful and insightful comments. Thanks. We're thinking about doing this again next week. See you all then.
thanks for joining
it was fun!
Bye all
ok, this was fun! See you all next time!
Thanks for holding it. Take care, everyone!
Larry - That's the problem. With security being an obtrsive add-on, it looks like a guilty flag. It's as if everyone who closed their house doors at night was suspected of hiding something.
Encrypted hard drives are catching on in corporate laptops. Jacobs from Qualcomm had his stolen from the podium where he was giving a talk.
Well, this has been a great chat. We're now at the hour mark and will have to wrap it up. Thanks to everyone who participated.
I mean hackers as data tinkerers and sharers.. not malicious.
The hackers are always coming up with ways to be anonymous. The Tor project has gained a fair amount of users.
I expect that it's a similar situation with encrypted hard drives and secure erasure. The technology is there, but it's just not really a part of anything so it's not used except in special circumstances.
I think the first thing you'll see will be microcosms of privacy. People will have message boards with encryption and stuff. It will grow from there, but it isn't very common yet.
Practically none of it is. The percentage is low enough that it can be a flag. Do you have something to hide?
Does anyone know what percentage of personal email is encrypted with PGP or something of the sort? That technology is there, but it's too intrusive and not well integrated. It has to be just another aspect of whatever it's used in.
The first time that you log back into Facebook the XYZ technology would be undone. People trade their privacy for things they want.
Huawei, I am told, let's no one bring thumb drives into its HQ.
Meanwhile Congress worries Huawei hear will be used to steal its secrets.
Good point, Junko. There's money to be made in selling privacy.
Here's the guy with the finger drive.
The challenge is to implement privacy technology and methodologies such that it comes in slowly. Too much too soon will be looked at as something different.
seriously, would it be a hoot if a new tech company shows up, saying that we have XYZ technology to bring your privacy back
there's a guy with a jump drive as a finger. I'll try to find it real quick
Privacy has already been redefined many times. Did the founding fathers anticipate TMZ?
Larry, Implant! I love that!
i would still like to see Duane's scenario
Thumb drives have been officially and completely banned, according to my friends still in Defense. We'll have to give her an implant.
so how will it be redefined? once it's lost, it's lost
I can hear the Mission Impossible theme song!
Privacy will be redefined, not returned. Anyone in the know didn't believe it when NSA denied it before anyway.
I think we'll see false personality tech being created and sold underground just like in some scifi novel
wow, should you accept the mission...
Junko, we have a new assignment for you. Go undercover with LDS and infiltrate the Utah data center. We will give you a Exabyte thumb drive to copy the files as proof.
susan, you're right
big biz always wins!
@rick, I'm not sure, but I'd love to see it. I mean the guy denied all this at the conference last year. I'm surprised they didn't tar and feather him.
Duane, I hope to believe you are right on that one
very thoughtful
It big business to sell personal data, so the big business will win out.
I heard just outside of Salt Lake.
Speaking of that data center in Utah...where in Utah?
was there any webcast of blackhat keynote?
Privacy is becomming obsolite, but it will make a comback. Right now technology for no privacy is more advance than the privacy protecting tech and the social fabric is accepting. In a few years, I think both of those will change and privacy will become both important and viable again.
ha ha, Larry
Oh, jeez, I am aligning with the jocks, too? Time to hang it up.
@rick, yeah the NSA guy had a bad time at blackhat this year for sure
wasn't that popeye?
The News Hour had reports from NSA whistleblowers talking about a huge data storage cetner in Utah the govt now has online. Digital archive of every phone call, they claimed
I thought Loring Wirbel ought to write an article on that one!
Larry, "it is what it is" is what ESPN guys say!
I don't like agreeing with Zuckerburg, but it is what it is.
oh yeah, people are already freaking out about the kinect on the new xbox. Afraid they'll have to pay fees for additional viewers and paranoid about spying.
I would have laughed at that spec on a feature list, but that feature was a natural thing that got used more than half the things on the list.
Larry, imagine that. Privacy going obsolete
the perfect example is the headphone jack pause feature. if you pull the headphones out on accident, it pauses. I had 3 mp3 players before I got an ipod and that feature won me over.
@Junko: Yeah the embedded vision work. Put a processor behind the sensor...the algorithms are the trick. We humans are pretty nuanced. You need a passive aggressive behavior filter and a gazillion other algorithms
wether you like apple or not, you can appreciate one aspect of their design. They focused on how people actually use a device, not the spec list.
People are adapting to being watched. Webcams and videoconferencing, as well as ubiquitous public cams are getting us there. Privacy is on its way to being obsolete.
but then, it's a trade off, rick,
you are allowing the machine to watch and hear you all the time!
there's a phone now that will pause videos if you look away. Imagine this taken further.
@Caleb: Good point. We are still learning the computers commands today. The goal is it picks up our natural signals
"When I can give my stereo an annoyed look and it turns down a little bit "
That's what I'm waiting for.
microsoft is playing a little bit with this on the new kinect. It can detect your pulse, so programmers can use that as a metric.
i think we will get there, with embeded vision
I think there's a huge future in gesture and facial recognition. People are scared of being watched, but you could do some really awesome stuff.
the problem right now with gestures and speach are that we have to conciously adapt our natural speach or movements for the machine. When I can give my stereo an annoyed look and it turns down a little bit automatically, we've won.
not for games
That's why I think there is a future in gesture...
and there are a number of embedded systems being developed using Kinect -- its gesture thingy
I think a natural interface will combine all of these in a way that makes it transparent that we're commanding a machine. Ideally at least.
Yes, I sometimes make gestures at my devcies, but they don't respond--thankfully!
or for that matter, too early to write off gestures
But kinect+ is baked into xbox one. Making it default means it will get more development support.
I think we are all looking for a new UI -- it's too early to write off voice
@larryM99, yeah, it is great. Unfortunately you're looking at a TINY percentage of kinect sales. Not enough to drive it in the market.
So, with texting being pretty much as basic a skill as is speaking now, did voice control miss its window of opportunity? Or will voice control become popular to the point where people are comfortable speaking again, leaving text as a historical artifact?
except they're at least having conversations with another person. not carrying out a task that they could do without shouting at their phone.
Gaming is one thing, but hackers and hobbyists are going nuts with it. That kind of sensor package at that price is very interesting.
implementing eye tracking, facial recognition, and touch-less gestures can work in public and in private. Some people are focusing on this now too. here is where the kinect can shine.
Voice in public is like when people started to use Bluetooth headsets in public and walked around having these disembodied conversations
but then, people do talk on the phone in public all the time!
I think using voice is great when I'm alone with the phone. but in public it just doesn't work. It is rude and annoying.
Siri and Google Now seem to be chasing that old idea of a personal assistant, but I think there are too many scenarios where it just wont work
in the gaming community the kinect became a bit of a joke because no one uses it any more (no data to back this up).
it's interesting...why people don't want to use voice as UI?
Working voice would be great, but it's funny that the idea of speaking to a device seems pretty alien to me. Even more so now that texting is so ingrained in society.
kinect isn't doing much OUTSIDE ms labs though.
if you're designing an interface that people don't want to use half the time, you've got a major issue.
Novelty is the first step. Between voice and xbox kinect we are interacting more directly than ever. I saw that kinect is interpreting sign language in MS labs.
@Caleb: I couldn't access my Amazon videos on my Nexus 7. It said they require Msoft Silverlight but could be played on a Kindle (ha!) Then said they requre Adobe Flash and the device does not support Flash!?! Go figure
There's also the issue of the fact that people don't want to use voice commands in public.
so unless google has made voice an integral part of the interface, it will also become a novelty.
and so is for everyone else, I suppose
I have siri and I have only found a small handfull of uses because it can't access many apps. That kind of made it only a novelty to me.
as a successful UI, I mean
Voice needs to come into play
Larry, that's a really good point
If voice matures then Glasses becomes much more interesting. Is the Star Trek computer far off?
Bye everybody! It is late night here in India! have a nice weekend
umm we seem to have a pregnant pause...
I had 3 android devices at the time to play with. an htc hero, a rooted nook, and some other phone I can't remember at the moment. Downloading apps for them was horrible. 50% of the time an app just wouldn't load. The rest of the time it expected certain hardware buttons or screen resolution that weren't necessarily there.
this was before the marketplace unification.
bad taste in your mouth, because of what?
@Tom Wired and other stories on Moto X make it clear Google app integration, especially Google Now (voice control) is the big thing. But will it flop like Siri?
I'm in the market for a tablet now, and I still have that bad taste in my mouth. I wince at the thought even though I know it has come a long way.
Interesting how with Nexus 7 and Moto X, Google is making a bid to be the leading Android OEM. Like to be a fly on the wall at Samsung and HTC when this comes up
I haven't had a chance to play since I rooted the nook a couple years ago, but it was a nightmare just finding apps that were correctly matched to your device
I'm really looking forward to what the Google/Motorola phone will offer. Haven't heard much about the features.
caleb, understood
This has been a consistent problem with android devices due to the extremely fast growth in variety of hardware.
I've always thought that Motorola tyurned out some pretty innovative phones. With, perhaps, a leaner and more flexible overhead structure, I would expect to see even more leading tech in their phones
the hardware can be amazing, but if users have problems with apps not utilizing it, it won't take off
Between quantum and optical I don't see increases in computer capability slowing down. It may not be measured in transisters per chip, but it will still increase.
Moore's law should now have an addendum - that it itself will get replaced every twenty years by a new law
I'd like to play with the voice control though.
caleb, what do you mean? Holding it back?
Rick, yeah, Moto X is really talking about a new UI
moto X looks cool, but it is the android marketplace that will hold it back.
Sorry folks... have to run off to a meeting...
Re Moto X Wired did a good story on it I'm trying to get in to talk with some EEs
I'm also wondering what the community thinks of our story asking if Moore's Law is dead, and what that means to the defense sector in the US, China and elsewhere. That one stirred up a hornet's nest of debate on our message boards...
@Junko: eWaste recycling has not yet taken off in a big scale in India.
Junko - It's probably not that long before smart phones are the first, and perhaps only, computer that people will have in developed countries too.
Another interesting thing happening in developing countries is that they're getting cell reception before telephone lines. smartphones may be their first computers, but also their first phones!
@Junko: Exactly. Mobile is a first consumer digital client in many developing countries
so, does anyone have any opinions about Moto X?
Doc, Junko: More and more, there is a market for used phones in developing countries. The folks who make the Coinstar machines are thinking of producing vending machines where you can trade in your old phones for cash. They would then be resold in other markets. Interesting business model....gotta be hard. And I wonder what they do about stolen phones...
One of the biggest problems with such fast development cycles is that things never quite get finished. UIs change radically and the developers can't get feedback in time to improve useability.
I think what we need to be mindful of...is that in many developing countries, smartphones are their first PCs
Exactly Docdivakar - and it is we the electronics companies that are spoiling our customers to create this garbage
Caleb: Love that. I know 25-year-olds who hate to talk on the phone, and 19-year-olds who just simply do NOT send email. (And they wonder why the unemployment rate is high in those age groups).
docdivakar, but I thought some of those phones ARE reused in developing countries
PCs hit the same level. A 2% increase in capability that is already 1000% more than people use means that it is a commodity. At that point software is more important. Cell phones are rapidly getting there.
Unless I'm calling grandma that is.
from my hand I could text, email, twitter, or message someone in any other social media. no need to call... EVER.
@Prabhakar: very true... inspite of WEEE like initiatives, we are piling up the planet with garbage! This is a serious issue and recycling at current states leave a lot to be desired.
Junko: Guilty...I'm older. And the youth -- whose boomer parents foot the bill -- can seem to get enough new gizmos. I was the same way at that age. I learned new technology intuitively. Now I labor over the instruction manual. I like to think my head is now full of other, more important stuff. ;-)
in my circles, it is commonly said that the best part of having a smart phone is that you don't ever have to deal with the phone bit any more.
Tom, "turnover" is correct for developed countries. But not in the developing countries
Tom - I think part of the problem with smart phones is that, realistically, they're computers first with a phone application. So good software that makes the phone component feel more integral would solve the vast majority ofn smart-phone related complaints I hear in my circles.
I mean bins
The smartphone market will reignite once Siri talks to Google Now ;-)
Junko: I think so. But I keep seeing reports that mobile phone sales are expected to keep growing at 30-40 percent. That's turnover in phones, mostly, not a growing market.
A new smartphone product every six months means a lot of unnecessary junk in the garbage beans of those affluent people
@Tom, burnouts? maybe among the older folks...
@Tom: ditto... unless there is a compelling reason and my life style demands it, I am a slower adopter of new gizmos!
aw, putting everything on it fresh is part of the fun! I look forward to my yearly computer reformat for that reason!
Doc: Yep. True. But that six month product is in the pipeline while work begins on the next one, and while the old one is still on the shelf. And, yep, that's the headache for the supply chain folks.
Rick: I'm with you. I'm tired of switching to an entirely new phone every year or two, having to reprogram and relearn it. I'm actually leaning towards going back to a simpler phone. And I hear that from a lot of friends, too. That may be anecdotal, but I'm wondering if we'll see some burnout among consumers following years of intensive marketing of the latest and greatest.
and it is a saturated market -- I mean, the U.S. is
@Tom: unlike the auto industry, the electronics industry can crank out a new model every 6-months if the market demands it! Good in one way but a big headache for the supply chain folks!
When you think about it, cell phones in a developed market are more service than product. HWaaS?
that's not necessarily the case in the rest of the world
I think what drives the cycle is the contract. Where you do not have contract, it is different.
Handsets are still pricier for the average person in India, perhaps to a lesser extent in China so the trend is to wait longer to get a new handset.
the replacement cycle in the US is sort of anomaly
because it's so tied to the carrier contract, as tom pointed out
An aside: just think how complicated it is for Samsung or Apple to turn out a new version of a smartphone every 12-18 months, going from design to store shelves. Any delay in supply along the way, can mean empty space on shelves for big retailers, who allot that space months in advance.
@Doc: I suspect eventually a PC like phenom will kick in where there will not be compelling new features to upgrade and people will only replace when they drop their phone as I did this week ;-(
It is a combination of replacement and new. Africa is a growing market, US and Europe are saturated and replacement.
That's hard to believe, but I don't have facts with me
I have heard the handset lifecycle is 12-18 months. In the US, most of the market is controlled by two-year contracts with the carriers, though there is also a lot of sale of month-to-month phones.
really? Longer than 2 years in China?
@Junko: the developing markets' consumers are adopting new ones at even longer than 2-year intervals? Doesn't this signal weakness for the moble chips market?
that's a good news for chip companies; but that means OEMs are on enternal treadmill
IDC sees slower growth in Japan, but puts Asia-Pacific at 6.9% growth.
I need to check the number, but I think the life cycle is like 6 months
among young users
no, two years too long
@Junko: how long can the industry sustain the growth in mobiles and what is the replacement interval as far as the consumer is concerned? Buy a new handset every two years?
@Larry: I'm expecting chip costs to rise at 20nm and beyond as double litho patterning kicks in. But I am also expecting fewer people go as fast into the newer nodes
Junko will be happy to hear the automotive segment is expected to grow 5.3% this year -- though that's a bit under the broader 6.9%
Exactly, LarryM99.
The growth rate in mobile when compared with overall chip Growth indicates some negative growth in other segments?
Smartphones have cash registers ringing (if we had cash registers anymore)
I would also like to see distribution on chip costs. One Intel CPU is a lot more expensive than ARM chips. That could be biasing the results.
that goes to show a huge growth in mobile
i was reading MediaTek's latest financial results this morning
Susan: Not surprisingly, chips for phones and tablet are soaring. And for datacenter servers.
PC demand is low, so chip sales there are declining -- old news, but it factors in.
Welcome, Doc!
Mobile chip sector is expected to continue to grow.
Also, if it's just $, a country's monetary policy can affect the number, as shown in Junko's Sony story.
Hi Junko, Rick, Caleb, Tom... I am sounding off from Silicon Valley!
Rick: I like that definition! True, semiconductors are exit No. 1 on the global supply chain. What happens down the road can cause gridlock.
@prabhakar: Growth in mobile is deep into double digits. Its the sector keeping everybody else off the floor--along with data center build outs at Facebook, Google et al read: cloud
caleb opens his dictionary to the C's
What chip segments will do better than others? Is that one general number covering all markets?
Larry: good question, and I don't know what formulation IDC uses. The announcement doesn't specify. But from the way it's worded, I think it includes all kinds of chips and estimates are based on sales.
@Tom: In the dictionary under cyclical it says "semiconductors.
This sector does more rubber necking that HWY 101 at 530pm on Friday
If they are predicting the levels based on $ instead of number of chips, you would also have to take into account soft cores and other IP.
How doe sthis growth rate compare with the growth rate of the smart phones and tablets market?
Well, what pushed that growth? Were we on a high point due to some new tech or something? Did the tablet explosion have anything to do with it?
@Larry: Good point. I think there's a lot of unclear detail and probably even some spaghetti on the wall in these numbers. Ballpark its in the black single digits.
Actually, the IDC forecast on chip growth was that the market would increase 6.9% this year, and growth would slow to 2.7% in 2014. I find that kind of disturbing that IDC sees that much of a slowdown after a period of rapid growth. Is that just a cyclical change do you think?
I think it actually does
That's a damn good question, Larry
i agree with rick
Do the chip market projections take into account integration levels? An SoC pulls in a lot of logic...
For better or worse, in a rapidly maturing industry, seven percent sounds pretty good
oops, was already typing.
I'm still geeking out about this relay computer. I love that sound!
The story on Giant Spider robot was interesting
There are a few stories listed below in the announcement of this chat. But if nobody has objections, I'd like to start with the prediction that the chip market will expand 7 % this year, but only at about half that rate next year....thoughts on that?
Our most popular stories in July were of course the Raspberrry Pi stories. Followed by the Has Intel Really Beaten ARM...
Rick Merritt, the EE Times Silicon Valley bureau chief, and Junko Yoshida, our international correspondent, and Caleb Kraft, our chief community officer, all had great stories this week!

military aviation world is abuzz about stealth technology today. America's F-35
and the F-22 make use of liberal doses of stealth technology in their designs.
The U.S., however, isn't the only country working hard on stealth aircraft.
The newest stealth fighter to make headlines is the Chinese J-20 fighter. Reuters reports
that photos
of the J-20 making another flight have surfaced. The photos show the
J-20 on the ground and then taking off for only its second flight.
photos of the J-20's second flight were posted on the People's Daily website in
China with the caption reading, "an alleged J-20 prototype prepares to
take off." The Chinese Defense Ministry didn't comment, but the People's
Daily is widely known as a mouthpiece for the Chinese government.
The J-20 had its maiden
flight in January 2011. That maiden flight came well ahead of what
many analysts expected. The J-20 is reportedly a larger aircraft than the F-22
Raptor leading some to believe it is more focused on air and ground attack
roles than air superiority like its U.S. rival. The photos have led some
analysts to think that China may be further ahead in the development of the
aircraft than initially thought.
There was speculation that the J-20 stealth technology may be have been
acquired by the Chinese from
an American F-117 that crashed in 1999. That F-117 was lost in Serbia
and was the first of the aircraft to get hit by enemy fire. There were reports
that Chinese agents were moving all around the part of Serbia where the F-117
crashed buying up parts of the aircraft from local farmers.

Americans' Changing Lives: Waves I, II, III, IV, and V, 1986, 1989, 1994, 2002, and 2011 (ICPSR 4690)
Principal Investigator(s): House, James S., University of Michigan. Institute for Social Research. Survey Research Center
The Americans' Changing Lives (ACL) survey series is an ongoing nationally representative longitudinal study focusing especially on differences between Black and White Americans in middle and late life. These data constitute the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth waves in a panel survey covering a wide range of sociological, psychological, mental, and physical health items. Wave I of the study began in 1986 with a nation face-to-face survey of 3,617 adults ages 25 and up, with Black Americans and people aged 60 and over over-sampled at twice the rate of the others. Wave II constitutes face-to-face re-interviews in 1989 of those still alive. Survivors have been re-interviewed by telephone, and when necessary face-to-face, in 1994, 2001/02, and 2011, making up Waves III, IV, and V of the data. ACL was designed and sought out to investigate the following: (1) the ways in which a wide range of activities and social relationships that people engage in are broadly "productive," (2) how individuals adapt to acute life events and chronic stresses that threaten the maintenance of health, effective functioning, and productive activity, and (3) sociocultural variations in the nature, meaning, determinants, and consequences of productive activity and relationships. Among the topics covered are interpersonal relationships (spouse/partner, children, parents, friends), sources and levels of satisfaction, social interactions and leisure activities, traumatic life events (physical assault, serious illness, divorce, death of a loved one, financial or legal problems), perceptions of retirement, health behaviors (smoking, alcohol consumption, overweight, rest), and utilization of health care services (doctor visits, hospitalization, nursing home institutionalization, bed days). Also included are measures of physical health, psychological well-being, and indices referring to cognitive functioning. Demographic information provided for individuals includes household composition, number of children and grandchildren, employment status, occupation and work history, income, family financial situation, religious beliefs and practices, ethnicity, race, education, sex, and region of residence.

Several websites started by the indomitable Mike Magee are going to shut down, according to his blog.
The IT Examiner was an information technology news website based out of Bangalore, India. The concept was to use low-cost labour and overseas outsourcing to keep costs down while pumping out cheap stories. Unfortunately, you get what you pay for, even with IT hacks.
The News was another website with a similar concept, although focusing on more mainstream news. It even had a sports section.
Both sites were apparently backed by Chinese investors through Metaplume, registered in the British Virgin Islands. However, with the global downturn, advertising revenues have declined significantly.
Most news websites and newspapers are heavily dependent on advertising in order to continue operations. Several notable newspapers have also closed operations, including the Rocky Mountain News and the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.
Metaplume has therefore decided to shut down both sites at the end of March, rather than ride out the storm.
"Mad Mike" Magee is famous for his witty reporting style, developed after decades of writing technology articles. He co-founded The Register in 1994 during the early days of the Internet and technology news websites. After a split with his partners, he went on to create The Inquirer in 2001, where a certain DailyTech journalist worked. He sold The Inquirer in 2006, and left in 2008 to work on The News and the IT Examiner.
Magee is reportedly working on another new venture.

[np_storybar title="Video highlights from the Royals' ride" link="#1″]
LONDON – Royalty means rarely having to mind the gap.
Britain's Prince Charles took a ride on the London subway Wednesday – for the first time in a quarter century.
Charles and his wife, Camilla, joined transit officials and commuters to mark the 150th anniversary of the Underground, the world's first subway system.
The subway system, which sees 3.5 million journeys a day, is well known for announcements warning passengers to "mind the gap between the train and the platform."
The royal couple traveled one stop, from Farringdon to King's Cross on the Metropolitan Line – the oldest section of the subway system, opened in 1863.
Charles last traveled by subway in 1986, when he and the late Princess Diana took the Tube to Heathrow Airport to open a new terminal.

Pretty simple question if you asked me. Did you guys lose? (as in, not play hard enough defensive and offensively, allowed them to do whatever they want) or did they win? (as in, we tried, but they just had a rhythm all game, worked hard, and had everything going right).Reporter: "Russel, did you guys lose this game, or did the Jazz win this one?"
Russel: "WHAT?!"
Russel: "Bro, what are you talkin' bout man?"
Russel: "Bruh, I'm out man, ya'll niggas trippin'. Pfft." *quiet murmurs in the back*
This guy has some poor basketball IQ, and he'll be a reason why OKC doesn't/does win a championship. Talented player, but this dude is far too immature and can't contain his emotions. Quite the selfish character if you asked me.

Simmons Longitudinal Study: Adaptation and Development Across the Lifespan [New England, United States], Grade 9 Data, Wave 4, 1987 (ICPSR 24863)
Principal Investigator(s): Reinherz, Helen Z., Simmons College. School of Social Work
The Simmons Longitudinal Study (SLS) is a community-based study that has prospectively traced the life course of a single-aged cohort from childhood (age 5) to adulthood (age 26). Data were collected from multiple informants at seven major time points: age 5 (1977), age 6 (1978), age 9 (1980-1981), age 15 (1987), age 18 (1990), age 21 (1993-1994), and age 26 (1998). Since its inception in 1977, the SLS has utilized a multidisciplinary, multimethod approach, with the dual goals of: (1) tracing the development and course of academic difficulties, behavior problems, and psychopathology; and (2) identifying factors that promote health functioning from early childhood (age 5) to adulthood (age 26). The SLS has consistently emphasized the identification of modifiable social and environmental risk and protective factors that can be targeted directly in prevention and intervention programs. To date, SLS has published 50 journal articles and 9 book chapters. The original study group was comprised of every child who entered kindergarten in the fall of 1977 in one public school district in a northeastern town in the United States. For this wave of the study, Wave 4, interviews were conducted with the adolescents, then age 15 in 1987, most of whom were in 9th grade. They reported about their current family and peer relations, social and extracurricular activities, and overall adjustment. In addition, mothers reported on their children's development and behavior. When mothers were not available to be interviewed, interviewers spoke with another close family member. With parental consent, school records provided information about academic performance.

Prescribed details required from the South African Revenue Service on a tax invoices
Tax invoices must ordinarily reflect the following details as prescribed by the South African Revenue Service Act, 1997 (Act No. 34 of 1997):
MIDRAND,Johannesburg, Tuesday, 25 June 2013: South African Airways (SAA) and SA Express today announced a joint effort to train scores of young South Africans to become qualified commercial pilots.
The two state-owned airlines will pull together their resources to create a jointly managed and resourced national pilot training programme, paying for the trainees' classroom tuition, practical training, flying time, accommodation, travel and other related expenses.
With a combined budget, SA Express and SAA want to ensure that trainees have access to highly qualified instructors, combining the very best of training methods, using purpose-built training facilities and state of the art aircraft that boast some of the best technology available in present day aviation.
SAA CEO Monwabisi Kalawe told attendants at this morning's launch breakfast "As the national carrier and good corporate citizen, SAA is aligned with South Africa's employment equity objectives to accelerate skills development, extending these exciting programmes to our youth. This is an excellent opportunity for Africa's best airline to develop and empower our country's youth."
SA Express CEO Inati Ntshanga added: "We spent time looking at how best we could contribute towards the task of training much needed pilots for South Africa, and for our continent. This programme is going to make a huge impact in addressing the serious shortage of skills that we are seeing in the South African aviation industry. Although SA Express is far ahead when compared to the rest of the industry – we have 47 black pilots out of 255 – there's a lot to be done still."
According to the latest audited civil aviation statistics*, of the 26 022 aviation personnel licence holders South Africa had in 2012, only 2776 were African, 670 were Coloured, 553 were Indian whilst 17 346 were White. A further examination of those numbers revealed that a mere 1668 of those licence holders were African women, 383 of them were Coloured women, 238 were Indian women and 2169 were White women.
"Today I commend the two state-owned airlines, SA Express and SAA for demonstrating their catalytic ability in transforming an industry. It is of key importance that the aviation and aeronautical skills be encouraged as achievable career option to all sectors of our population. This event should inspire and instil a sense of immense possibilities that awaits all those young people in townships and villages throughout South Africa that they too can take to the skies and be ambassadors as Pilots that have been supported and encouraged by this Government."
"Furthermore, as a Developmental State we will to continue to utilise the state owned companies to drive the State's transformation agenda, wherein we will ensure that there is skills transfers, human development and job creation for the majority of South Africans," said Public Enterprises Minister Malusi Gigaba.

North Dakota Leads Nation in NCUA's Quarterly State Map Review
Collectively, credit unions in 41 states reported improved return on average assets statistics during the fourth quarter of 2012, according to the latest Quarterly U.S. Map Review released Tuesday by the NCUA. Forty four states reported positive loan growth, led by North Dakota with a 15.2% annualized increase in total loans outstanding.
"Our analysis shows credit unions are growing as the economy improves, making investments in their members and communities," NCUA Chairman Debbie Matz said. "This mapping tool provides important benchmarks on industry performance at the ground level."
- SEE the NCUA state-by-state map and more Credit Union Times analysis.
Nationally, ROAA at federally insured credit unions remained steady from third quarter, at 86 basis points. The share of credit unions with positive ROAA rose in 41 states and Puerto Rico, was unchanged in Wyoming, Guam, and the Virgin Islands, and declined in eight states and the District of Columbia.
Total loans outstanding grew at an annual rate of 4.6% in the fourth quarter. North Dakota and Oklahoma posted the fastest loan growth rates. Loans declined in six states and territories, led by Nevada's 13.2% decline.
Asset growth in 2012 outpaced the previous year, with an annualized rate of 6.2% in the fourth quarter. Iowa and North Dakota had the fastest asset growth in the fourth quarter, and only Nevada posted an asset decline (-6.5%) during that period.
The full report is available on the NCUA's website

We all see what's happening on the battlefield. Everybody is puttin in WORK. But Edo Madara has unlimited chakra and he can't die. Naruto, Kakshi, Guy, Killer B have no sealing techniques. And if Obito turns good again, he has no sealing techniques either.
What if Sasuke approaches the battlefield and becomes the one to defeat Madara. Sasuke needs to do something big to contribute in this war.
Sasuke wants to avenge his clan and when he talks to Tobi, Tobi refers to himself as "Uchiha Madara".
Sasuke didn't know that Tobi(refering to himself as Madara at the time), helped Itachi with the massacre. Itachi did it because he was told to by the Konoha elders. But Madara did it because, "He had a personal grudge on the clan for selfish reasons". Keep in mind that Sasuke still doesn't know that Tobi is Obito.
"But Sasuke has no sealing tech either." Sasuke could have the Sword of Totsuka from Itachi because Tobi said that Itachi transferred all his eye techniques to Sasuke. That could be able to seal Edo Madara.
In Conclusion: Sasuke still thinks that Madara had a big part of the massacre and wants to get revenge. He also knows that Itachi wanted Sasuke to stay far away from the masked man(Who Sasuke thinks is Madara). This is just a theory though. I tried to be as logical as possible.

The gps_installer is a GTK+ application used to integrate custom Ada library projects into the Gnat Programming Studio (GPS). The installer is designed to be as simple as possible. It takes the directory where the source files are located and the list of files to install. The installer tries to figure out where to move the files and how to process them. No specific actions need to be specified.
GPS Tool is a flexible tool for downloading and processing GPS data on Mac OS X. The tool itself is a front-end for various cross-platform tools, namely GPS Babel and scripts which are used to download GPS data. The tool is very easy to use and allows you to define preset processing scripts for batch processing large amounts of GPS data. The plugin system allows you to integrate device discovery and GPS data download into an easy-to-use GUI.
GPSBook is a tool to be used with your GPS receiver (GPSr). It manages traces, routes, and waypoints in gpx or Loc format. This tool can be used for geocaching, sports training, tracking, travel, and many outdoor activities. GPSBook can display map in 2D and 3D using google maps, satellite, terrain, earth or openStreetMap and openCycleMap.
GPX Viewer is a simple program to visualize a GPX file. It uses libchamplain and cairo for the plot. It can show multiple GPX files, show waypoints and multiple tracks per GPX file, highlight a selected track, show a speed vs. time graph, and show distance, duration, average, moving average, max speed, moving time, and GPS points. It supports zooming, smoothing of the speed graph, and highlighting points in a speed graph on a map.
Google Map GPS Cell Phone Tracker allows you to track Android, iOS, Windows Phone, and Java ME cellphones using Google Maps. It has two parts, a server and phone clients. You have a choice of two servers, using asp.net and SQL server or PHP and MySQL. The server software allows you to view cellphone locations in realtime using Google Maps and store routes and view them later. The client applications send their locations to the website periodically. All four applications work properly in the background and are written natively on each platform.
LocDemo demonstrates the functionality of libwlocate. After startup, it evaluates the current geographic position of the user and displays it within a map. This solution offers geographic localization that works without the use of GPS and without submitting tracking or position data to commercial providers of such services.
MerakoGPS is a set of software for Merako-series boards. It is meant for GPS receiver development. MerakoGPS runs on a flexible Merako-series hardware board which uses a CycloneIII FPGA to accomplish the correlator function, and NiosII or ARM to do GPS signal acquisition, tracking, navigation message decoding, and PVT computing.
MyGeoTrails allows you to mark places of interest on the map along the trail created by the app and share them on Facebook if you wish. You may even share the complete trail with the click of a button. Use retrace mode to travel back on a trail already created before. The app records your GPS locations periodically when you press the start trail button. The information is stored only in your phone. When you explicitly share your trail information, only then is the information moved around on the Internet.
