It has been long overdue.
I will try to post all of the products from my kitchen factory from now on.
This is a delicious & rich chocolate cupcake with mint buttercream.
I used mint oil essence because oil flavourings are usually on the stronger side.
I didn't want the richness of the chocolate to over-power the taste of the buttercream.
On top is half of a mint junior. You could really top it off with anything minty or chocolatey or BOTH!

Board names Mark Dorman new chair, elects Amber Case and Peter Chang to membership
March 04, 2013
The Board of Trustees has elected Mark Dorman '83 to become the new board chair and has elected Amber Case '08 and Peter D. Chang '74 to board membership.
Also at the February board meeting, the trustees approved a budget for 2013-14, approved a new master's degree in environmental and natural resources law, and approved significant renovations to improve Fields Dining Hall on the undergraduate campus.
Dorman, managing director of the Portland-based private equity firm Endeavour Capital and a Lewis & Clark trustee since 2006, will succeed Jim Richardson '70 as chair. Dorman's term will begin at the conclusion of the May board meeting.
A Portland resident, Case becomes one of the youngest regularly elected trustees at any private college or university in the country and the youngest in Lewis & Clark history. Twenty-six-year-old Case has attracted growing regional and national acclaim as a top technologist and business innovator. Among other honors, she has recently been named to Inc. magazine's 30 under 30 list of rising entrepreneurship stars. Although it is not unusual for young alumni to serve on private university boards as alumni representatives, Case is one of the youngest full-fledged trustees—if not the youngest—at any private institution in the country.
Chang, a Redmond, Wash., resident, returns to the board after serving from 2004 to 2010. An international business executive, Chang is executive vice president of marketing for Aircastle Advisor, a commercial aircraft leasing entity based in Stamford, Connecticut. He founded China Aviation Marketing Services, which has represented Gulfstream, FedEx, Thomson, and numerous other aviation-related companies in the China market. In addition, Chang is president of Chang Brothers Inc., which operates the Changs' Mongolian Grill restaurant chain in Oregon and Washington. His wife, Alice Chang '77, and one of his sons, Patrick Chang '12, are Lewis & Clark graduates.
Under the new budget approved by the board, salary pools are tentatively set at two percent for CAS faculty and staff; up to three percent for law school faculty and staff; one percent for graduate school faculty and exempt staff; two percent for graduate school non-exempt staff; and two percent for Common Services staff. (Compensation for union members is determined by separate processes.) As announced in previous communications, final determination of salary pools will not be made until enrollments are known at the beginning of the academic year.
In other action, the trustees
- approved a resolution establishing a master of environmental and natural resources law degree program in the law school;
- approved a resolution conferring an honorary degree to Dorothy Stafford, wife of the late poet and Lewis & Clark professor William Stafford and long time friend of the college;
- approved a resolution granting faculty emeritus status to retiring Associate Professor of Economics Harry Schleef;
- approved expenditure of $2.3 million for summer renovations to Fields Dining Hall and the Platt West residence hall.
Among the reports and discussions at the committee level, Dean of Enrollment and Communication Lisa Meyer reported to the Finance Committee on tuition and discount rates and how they affect Lewis & Clark's ability to enhance gender and ethnic diversity. Graduate School Dean Scott Fletcher reported to the Academic Affairs committee on the success of the new community counseling clinic, in particular the gambling treatment program.
At the plenary session, Hal Abrams, vice president for Institutional Advancement, updated trustees on fundraising progress and goals, and trustees discussed how they can best support fundraising efforts and promote Lewis & Clark.

The Crimson avenged a 2-1 loss to the Engineers with a 2-1 win at Bright Friday night (Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's ice hockey team withstood a late charge from Rensselaer and killed two 5-on-3 opportunities to capture a 2-1 victory Friday at Bright Hockey Center. It was the third straight win for the Crimson, which ups its record to 9-7-2, and 8-3-2 in ECAC play.
The Crimson put itself behind the eight-ball early with a penalty just 2:50 into the contest. However, a solid kill helped build some confidence for the hosts and Harvard upped the pressure on offense through the mid-section of the frame, firing a total of 12 shots on the RPI goal. The penalty bug bit again at the tail end of the period and the Crimson went into the first intermission tied at 0-0 but with two skaters in the box.
For the third time in four games, the Crimson killed off a 5-on-3 and the resulting momentum shift saw the game's first goal, just 2:53 into the second. Jillian Dempsey picked off a pass at the blueline near the boards and weaved back into the RPI zone, dishing a last-second pass to Liza Ryabkina whose one-timer found the back of the net.
Harvard doubled its lead at the six-minute mark of the middle period as a trio of underclassmen combined on a pretty goal. Kelsey Romatoski poked a puck to Whitney Kennedy and the sophomore maneuvered her way through the opposing faceoff circle. A pass across the crease found a wide open Kalley Armstrong and the rookie put the pass home for a 2-0 lead. Harvard had two man-up chances at the end of the second but RPI held tight to go into the second break, down 2-0.
The third period was marred with Crimson penalties with four in the frame going against Harvard. Early in the period, the Crimson again went two skaters down when Katharine Chute and Marissa Gedman took penalties 32 seconds apart. Harvard was able to kill off the 5-on-3 for second time in the game, but had more trouble stopping a man-up chance a few minutes later. The Engineers were able to get the score within one when Jordan Smelker slammed home a rebound in front of Laura Bellamy on RPI's sixth power play chance of the game. Harvard was able to hold off a flurry of offensive rushes by the Engineers to hold on for the 2-1 victory and improve to 5-1-1 at home this season.
Harvard returns to the ice at Bright tomorrow for a 4 p.m. showdown with Union.

Malaysia asks more Pentagon help for plane search
WASHINGTON (AP) — Malaysia is asking the United States to provide undersea surveillance equipment to help in the search for the missing Malaysian Airlines jet.
The Pentagon press secretary, Rear Adm. John Kirby, says the request for more U.S. equipment came Friday when Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel spoke with Malaysia's defense minister and acting transport minister.
Kirby says in a statement that Hagel has promised to assess the availability of the military undersea technology and its usefulness in the search effort.
The Pentagon says it has spent $2.5 million to operate ships and aircraft that have been helping look for the plane and has budgeted another $1.5 million for search efforts.

Progress in technology has brought microelectronics to the nanoscale, but nanoelectronics is not yet a well-defined engineering discipline with a coherent, experimentally verified, theoretical framework. The NCN has a vision for a new, 'bottom-up' approach to electronics, which involves: understanding electronic conduction at the atomistic level; formulating new simulation techniques; developing a new generation of software tools; and bringing this new understanding and perspective into the classroom. We address problems in atomistic phenomena, quantum transport, percolative transport in inhomogeneous media, reliability, and the connection of nanoelectronics to new problems such as biology, medicine, and energy. We work closely with experimentalists to understand nanoscale phenomena and to explore new device concepts. In the course of this work, we produce open source software tools and educational resources that we share with the community through the nanoHUB.
This page is a starting point for nanoHUB users interested in nanoelectronics. It lists key resources developed by the NCN Nanoelectronics team.

10 Must See Horror Films From The Last 10 Years
There are a plethora of great horror films that have made their debut over the last few centuries and we could easily list fifty great horror films you should definitely see. The object of this editorial is to put focus on 10 great horror films that have come out in the last ten years that are worthy of seeing.All of these are available for rent, most of them are on Netflix on demand and certainly your local video store and or amazon will have them for sale. In absolutely no particular order here are 10 Great New Horror Films Everyone Should See.
#1 Let Me In / Let The Right One In
It's a bit odd listing both I admit but for me they both are quite good with their own merits. The original is vicious, intense and a truly fantastic take on the vampire genre with a strong mix of human interest and pre teen love.
The remake by Matt Reeves is pretty close to a scene by scene remake but also offers enough new aspects to make it a worthy remake and a film that can stand on its own.
#2 The Descent
Neil Marshall is nothing short of a genius and in my view is one of the best story tellers of our time when it comes to horror. From monster movies to apocalyptic stories of mankind`s destruction he really has done it all. If you love horror and have not seen all of Neil Marshall's films then I think we may have to confiscate your membership card to the 'All Things Scary Club'. ( That also means you cannot use our secret handshake anymore.)
In all seriousness The Descent much like Doomsday gives us once again a strong female lead who with a group of friends descends into a dark cave system to discover a hybrid life form that is vicious, gruesome and even worse hungry. Filled with intensity and real scares it will be especially creepy for those of you who like me do not fare well in tight spaces.
The sequel The Descent Part 2 is also a fantastic film and frankly if you loved the first one you will love the sequel just as much.
I did not get to checkout the spanish film REC until just a few weeks ago when it finally arrived on Netflix on Demand in Canada. I saw the Hollywood remake Quarantine which starred Jennifer Carpenter first since it was more widely available. As much as I enjoyed Quarantine true to form the original is ten times better.
The film follows a Spanish news crew who are shooting a show and tagging along with a local fire team who respond to a simple call and suddenly find themselves under quarantine in a small apartment building as an outbreak runs head long through the building.
REC is a fantastic film and a testament to Spanish film making.
#4 Trick R Treat
What can I say about Trick R Treat other than to say its the greatest horror anthology since Creepshow. Trick R Treat is an anthology of different stories that all evolve around Halloween and as you discover also have a common link back to each other.
Trick R Treat is a must see horror film for true blue horror fans of all ages and backgrounds.Whether you like classic horror or modern horror you will truly appreciate this anthology of stories that takes place on Halloween and carries the theme of you guessed it Trick R Treat.
The fact that this film went direct to DVD with very little fanfare is a shame since it is without a doubt one of the Top 10 horror films of all time.
#5 Martyrs
Martyrs is one of the most complex films I have ever seen. This french horror film has a truly moving story and a script that jumps off the page and draws you in. Intense, disturbing and powerful Martyrs is not only one of the most well crafted french horror films ever made its also the most violent and disturbing.
Martyrs is the first film that made my stomach turn and made me hit fast forward but also in the same token kept me glued to my seat to see what happens next. Many speak of A Serbian Film as being the most disturbing film they have ever seen but for me Martyrs is. It is also one of the best written and well thought out horror films of the last 10 years.
A true testament to how a fantastic screenplay can take a film that would otherwise be defined as torture porn and make it much more.
#6 Dead Girl:
While we are talking about disturbing movies we might as well get the second one out-of-the-way. Dead Girl although not as thought-provoking as Martyrs is still very much a disturbing affair and asks the moral question, if nobody knows that you are doing it, would you do it?
We watch as a group of boys spiral into darkness when they find a woman tied to a table in an old abandoned hospital.
Dead Girl is highly disturbing and not for the faint of heart but also a film that will make you think and question the moral compass and what truly makes us do the right thing.
Very often people will ask me what is a movie you recommend that is truly terrifying. I always hesitate to recommend this movie because it truly is horrifying.
#7 Zombieland:
I am not sure I can think of a single thing bad to say about Zombieland. It is one of the 10 best horror comedies of all time and is a testament to how talented filmmakers with a true passion for a subject can really make a movie shine.
Zombieland is the funniest zombie buddy comedy flick since Shaun of the Dead. Packed with laughs, hilarious antics, 32 outrageous rules, a fantastic cameo and yes… lots and lots of zombies.
Zombieland is a must see for fans of Shaun of the Dead and frankly anyone who loves a good zombie movie
#8 Dawn of the Dead
George Romero's Dawn of the Dead is a classic and one that us die-hard fans hold in extremely high esteem. George Romero to this day is the face of zombie movies and is the reason that AMC`s Walking Dead exists today. He not only defined the genre but led many other talented people including Robert Kirkman to make their own zombie projects.
When it was announced that Universal was going to be remaking it I was extremely hesitant but once the film was cast with names like Sarah Polley and Zack Snyder was put in place to direct I started to perk up.
The remake of Dawn of the Dead is similar in the fact it takes place in a mall but otherwise Zack has taken a classic and made it his own while still paying homage to the original.
SAW has spawned an entire franchise of crappy sequels and each one reminds me how awesome the original movie was and how desperately I want more. Ok so in fairness they were not all crap but fortunately after the last SAW 3D they have decided to stop making more movies before it becomes Jigsaw vs Freddy or better yet Jigsaw in Space.
From the opening scenes to the closing moments SAW grabs you by the jugular and never lets go.
SAW was created on a shoestring budget and turned into one of the biggest horror films of the last 10 years. Based on a fantastic concept of a serial killer teaching his victims lessons it was packed full of thrills and an ending that still makes me smile to this day.
#10 28 Days Later
28 Days Later spawns the debate is it a zombie movie or is it not a zombie movie? Similar to The walking Dead in that they both share an identical starting point it's about a man who wakes from a coma in the hospital to find the world overrun by the infected. Fast moving with a zombie like hunger for flesh 28 Days Later is a truly creepy horror film and a fantastic tale of infectious destruction.
Directed by Danny Boyle and starring Cillian Murphy I have seen this film no less than 20 times and watched the sequel 28 Weeks Later no less than a dozen times. I cant wait for 28 Months Later to start being more than just producers talking!
Now that you have read my 10 best horror films from the last 10 yeas share with me what yours are. I know .. I know its fun to troll me and highlight how much better your writing is then mine but just for once lets see if we can get some productive comments on some great films that people should watch that did not make my list.

Jordan has been working furiously over the last several days to create Kits, and he has succeeded! It required some rather clever maneuvering, but luckily he was up to the task!
Right now I just have the Birds in Snow kits up, and I'll slowly be adding more. There are 4 Birds in Snow Kits which make up the Birds in Snow Bundle, which will soon be offered at a discount. From an earlier discussion in the forums we took away that people liked both to be able to purchase kits separately and together, so you'll be able to choose exactly what you want, including our old method of downloading each asset individually.
Like with everything else on the site, kits are in process, so things like DC cost, etc. are somewhat fluid, and may change from time to time.
If you have any feedback on our kits implementation so far, or encounter any problems, please let us know!
EDIT: for some thoughts regarding kits and download credits and the donation system, please see this post.

Ohio University's TechGROWTH Ohio wins new investment fund, grows to a $30 million program
December 14, 2012
ATHENS,Ohio (Dec. 14, 2012) – Ohio University today announced that its Third Frontier initiative, TechGROWTH Ohio, was awarded new investment capital funding in a competitive state-wide process. The new award totals $1.875 million and will be matched with private dollars to capitalize TechGROWTH's third investment fund with a total of $3.75 million under management.
"This new award from the Ohio Third Frontier provides needed investment capital for our region," said Roderick J. McDavis, president of Ohio University. "It will greatly assist us in our ongoing efforts to grow the economy in Southeast Ohio by creating more technology companies and, most importantly, jobs in our region."
Lynn Gellermann, TechGROWTH's executive director, said, "With this award, TechGROWTH becomes a $30 million program, doubling in size since its inception five years ago."
Founded in 2007 by Ohio University and Ohio's nationally recognized Third Frontier program, TechGROWTH provides business advisory services, competitive grant support and seed-stage investment capital to technology companies and entrepreneurs in Southeast Ohio. Its investment portfolio now numbers ten companies, including one student start-up in digital media, three Ohio University faculty-led start-ups and multiple regional start-ups from Athens and around TechGROWTH's 20-county service region.
TechGROWTH has developed an expansive network of executives- and entrepreneurs-in-residence (EIRs) and has developed strong fund management capacity similar to that of venture capital firms. The new fund, TechGROWTH Fund III, will make investment in new tech start-ups that fall in the $250,000 to $500,000 range.
Ohio University's Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Affairs is the founder and managing partner for TechGROWTH Ohio. Original partners included the Edison Biotechnology Institute, Adena Ventures, and Ohio State University South Centers. Additional partners from throughout the region and the University have since joined the TechGROWTH network.

Alexander challenger: 'We're friends'
On paper, George Flinn is Sen. Lamar Alexander's worst nightmare: a mega-rich self-funder willing to dump a huge amount of cash into the Tennessee Republican primary.
In reality, Flinn is all about a single issue: health care.
Story Continued Below
Flinn, a Memphis radiologist and radio magnate, filed papers this week to run in the crowded primary against Alexander, the two-term senator, former Education secretary and ex-governor of Tennessee. Flinn, who ran for the House in 2010 and 2012, spent roughly $5 million of his own money in those unsuccessful bids for Congress.
( Launching April 9 – Campaign Pro: Your guide to the permanent campaign)
This time against Alexander, Flinn is once again ready to pour big bucks in the Republican Senate primary — but not to attack Alexander. In fact, he said: "I like him, we're friends."
"I'm not running against him," Flinn said in an interview. "I'm running for this plan."
Flinn may spend millions promoting what he dubs the Patient Centered Health Plan that would overhaul the current health care system to implement a more free-market approach. Flinn said he hadn't decided how much he'd be willing to spend of his own cash, but added: "I'm going to do whatever it takes to get this message out."
( PHOTOS: Senators up for election in 2014)
But Flinn vowed that he wouldn't attack Alexander in his sustained ad buys and would instead run a "very positive campaign."
Such words may be a relief to Alexander given that Flinn's net worth is estimated to be between $30 million and $104 million, according to financial disclosure records.
Indeed, Alexander appears likely to skate to reelection in November despite amassing a bipartisan record in the Senate that tea party activists have seized upon. Even though his politics are conservative-leaning, Alexander has burnished a reputation for working with Democrats and has backed controversial measures and nominations, including Sonia Sotomayor to the Supreme Court in 2009, the 2008 Wall Street bailout and the 2013 immigration bill.
But tea party forces have been unable to mobilize against him. Eight candidates filed against Alexander ahead of Thursday's filing deadline, though it's unclear how many will ultimately end up on the ballot for the August primary. State Rep. Joe Carr has been in the race against Alexander for months after dropping a bid for the House, but he has yet to gain traction in the polls or in fundraising.
The challenges that tea party groups are having in Tennessee are emblematic of their struggles nationwide. Even though a number of GOP incumbents are facing primary challenges in conservative states like South Carolina, Kentucky and Tennessee, they seem likely to easily survive in the intraparty contests.
Sen. John Cornyn, the Texas Republican, skated to victory over a tea party challenger in his primary last month. Sen. Pat Roberts in Kansas also appears well-positioned against physician Milton Wolf. Sen. Thad Cochran, the six-term Mississippian, appears to be the most vulnerable Republican incumbent, as he faces a spirited push by state Sen. Chris McDaniel.
Alexander seems to be on safe ground as well. Before Flinn filed his papers this week, he called Alexander up as a courtesy because he has "the ultimate respect for the man."
And when asked if Flinn believed Alexander was a good senator, he paused and said: "For the things that have come up for the time? Yes."
In an interview at the Capitol this week, Alexander returned the compliment.
"I've known him a long time, he's a friend of mine," said Alexander, whose campaign has $3.1 million in cash.
Asked if Flinn should be considered a threat, Alexander would only say: "I'm doing my job as a United States senator and doing my best to continue to earn the respect of the people of Tennessee."

California Department of Transportation
District 3 - Marysville, www.dot.ca.gov/dist3
Rochelle Jenkins email@example.com
(530) 634-7640
May 24, 2010
Sacramento – Caltrans today announced that work has begun on a $3.3 million project to install new electronic message signs and closed circuit television cameras (CCTV) on four Northern California highways. The project was financed entirely by President Obama's American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Recovery Act). This project is starting sooner than expected thanks to Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's efforts to expedite Recover Act funding.
"My Administration is working hand-in-hand with President Obama's team to ensure stimulus dollars are pumped into California quickly and responsibly to stimulate the economy and in this instance – invest in the future of California's transportation infrastructure," said Governor Schwarzenegger.
Fifteen new electronic message signs (12 in Sacramento County) will be installed on Interstate 5 and the Capital City Freeway in Sacramento; Interstate 80 in Rocklin; Interstate 5 in Williams in Colusa County; and State Route 99 in Elk Grove and Galt. Nine new CCTV cameras will be installed on the same roadways, excluding the Capital City Freeway. Currently, 48 electronic message signs and 76 CCTV cameras are active in the Sacramento region and the surrounding counties in Northern California.
Caltrans posts information on the electronic message signs (which use LED technology) about traffic incidents, road closures, inclement weather, travel times, and Amber Alerts. Caltrans uses CCTV cameras to monitor traffic congestion and incidents, identify stranded motorists, and observe weather conditions. Video images from the cameras will be available to the public on the Internet when the project is complete this fall. The prime contractor is Peterson-Chase General Engineering Construction, Incorporated of Irvine, California.
"In these tough economic times, projects like this help to keep our key people on the payroll," said Dick Vogels, Vice President, Peterson-Chase Engineering Construction, Incorporated.
Under Governor Schwarzenegger's leadership, California leads the nation with $2.52 billion in Recovery Act funding obligated to 930 highway, local street, and job training transportation projects statewide. For more information o the Recovery Act visit: http://recovery.ca.gov/

When discussing front-projection video, many of us focus solely on the projection aspect of the equation and with good reason. If your projector is sub-par, the surface you point it at doesn't much matter. This said, with a few exceptions, the projector market seems to have hit a plateau, with nearly every manufacturer offering a 1080p-capable device at increasingly lower prices to consumers. This year's CEDIA show in Denver proved this more forcefully than ever in recent memory, with top-flight manufacturers claiming 1080p to be the final frontier. 2k and 4k resolutions are coming, but for those looking to the next level of performance from your video system, I suggest we take a look at video screens.
When it comes to screens, no one does it better than Stewart Filmscreen. Stewart screens are used in more professional theaters and post-production houses than those of any other screen manufacturer in the game today. Stewart has been at the bleeding edge of screen technology for decades and, unwilling to rest on their laurels, the company has come up with a truly unique and rather inspired surface with their latest offering, Starglas. Starglas is, in fact, a glass surface that allows for a rear-projection set-up that utilizes either a mirror-type configuration or full rear-projection throw. What makes Starglas unique is the fact that, when used properly, you can view your source material in ambient/full lighting conditions, making a Starglas installation more like a plasma or an LCD then a front-projection system. Going one step further, you can even use Starglas outdoors for a truly unique home theater experience by your pool, deck or barbeque. Don't worry about damaging or marring your Starglas surface, for its tempered glass is rated for commercial applications and can be cleaned via hose or, perhaps a little more prudently, with Windex.
Moving things back indoors for a second, Starglas can be ordered in a variety of shapes and sizes, from 126 to 204 inches (though I've been told smaller sizes are possible), in any aspect ratio from 4:3 to 2:35 and everything in between. You can even get Starglas installed on a table or floor, provided you can mount a projector properly to shine an image on it, for a James Bond-like projection system. Starglas runs about $200 a foot in most markets, which isn't cheap, but when you consider the alternative, it is assuredly less than 100-inch or larger plasmas, which retail for easily six figures. By this standard, Starglas is an absolute bargain. Starglas boasts a peak gain of .60 percent, with a viewing angle around 47 degrees. 47 degrees isn't quite as good as the viewing angle provided by most plasmas or LCDs, but many manufacturers' claims of 170 degrees are clearly exaggerations. I consider Stewart's claims of a 47-degree viewing angle to be more honest and also adequate for everyone in the family to enjoy the film. Starglas is ambient light-resistant due to its proprietary coating and blocks 100 percent of all UV lighting. Starglas is abrasion- and stain-resistant, making it a versatile solution for those with young children or pets.
I want to get back to the various available applications and sizes of Starglas. For starters, you can equip Starglas with any of Stewart's masking options, including the touted ElectriScope, which gives you perfect masking to adapt a 6:9 screen for 4:3 and 2:35 images. You can even get Stewart's Cinecurve screen in Starglas for the ultimate home theater experience. Starglas can be mated to any of Stewart's award-winning auto-masking systems, ensuring the absolute best image quality, regardless of your source's aspect ratio. This, of course, drives the cost upwards a bit, but still keeps it well below the price tag asked by large-scale LCD and plasma manufacturers. I've been spending a lot of time in postproduction houses lately and the new thing in cinema (besides 4K resolution) is 3D. Starglas is 3D image-ready and actually preferred by most of those who are developing the format for home use.
What makes Starglas a real value, though, isn't its versatility or wow factor, (more on that later) it's the fact that, while you can get 100-plus-inch plasmas, the day 1080p becomes the equivalent of SD you're out a second mortgage on your investment, whereas with Starglas, all you have to do is replace your projector and you're back in business. Unlike what's required for huge plasmas, you won't have to structurally engineer your wall to allow for Starglas' girth or run hospital-grade 220 power to light it up, making it a more environmentally conscious solution in a world where going green is an ever-more desirable option.
Without question, Starglas is best installed by your dealer or custom installer. My dedicated theater is not equipped to handle Starglas, though I tried to figure out a way to make it work. I had to venture down to my local dealer for this particular review. I spoke with one of the installers at my dealer and he informed me that Starglas is one of their most asked-about screen surfaces and the number of installations is growing as more and more people see the benefits over costlier flat-panel displays. My dealer had recently done an installation where the homeowner built out a faux wall that allowed him to bounce his projector's image off a large mirror, then onto the back of the Starglas surface itself. The entire installation was completed in a weekend. Since the faux wall was built out about two feet from the actual wall, he flanked the sides of the screen with custom bookshelves for a cozy study-like vibe. The leather club chairs, rich earth tones and subdued artwork made it one of the more inviting home theaters I'd seen in a long time, as you were never really aware you were sitting in a screening room, since the projector was mounted on the floor behind the drywall.
Another installation found the homeowner putting Starglas in his master bedroom. That's right, in the master bedroom. He placed the projector in the guest bedroom, which shared a common wall with the master bedroom. My installer had not yet installed Starglas in a front-projection configuration, nor had he heard of anyone else doing this – his reaction was, "It kind of defeats the purpose." Regardless of the client's needs, minus any finishing or specialty trim, etc., the process of installing Starglas in a rear-projection type configuration is fairly straightforward and easily completed in a short amount of time, provided you plan right, scout the location and use a qualified custom installer. According to my dealer, once Starglas is installed, the only maintenance needed is done at the projector level – oh, and the occasional wipe-down.
My dealer's Starglas installation had it in a medium-sized theater, featuring a Runco 1080p projector being fed a signal via a Sony Blu-ray player, with the rest of the electronics coming by way of McIntosh. The speaker configuration, which consisted of the beloved Definitive Technology Mythos ST towers for front, left and right channels, mated to a matching Definitive Technology center and in-walls for the sides and rear, was about as perfect as one could ask for, at least to this reviewer. Not wanting to waste any time, I cued up the first disc.
Television and Movies
I kicked things off with Pixar's classic buddy pic Toy Story (Walt Disney Home Entertainment) on standard-definition DVD. I left the lights in the theater on to test the Starglas' ambient light claims. Suffice to say, they're not B.S. In fact, minus the light-mounted just inches from the top edge of the screen itself, there was little glare or reflection visible on the screen. The ambient light performance was quite good and it reminded me a lot of my time spent with Panasonic's gigantic 100-plus-inch plasma that I reviewed some months ago. While the ambient light performance at first glance seemed about equal in terms of brightness, general detail and viewing angle, the noise floor with the Starglas/Runco combo was far superior, as was the edge fidelity and perceived sharpness. In comparison, the Panasonic was grainy, washed-out and vague. The Starglas was crisp, smooth, punchy and grain-free. When the lights were turned off, the performance just catapulted to a whole other level. The depth of the image was stunning, as were the black levels and color gradation. Edge fidelity was so resolute that the image had a real three-dimensional feel, even though this was an SD source. Colors burst off the screen and were among the most accurate and brilliant I've ever seen from a projection set-up. The glass surface of Starglas helped smooth out the roughness that is usually associated with SD when viewed back through an HD display device such as the Runco, which is nice. The image took on a decidedly HD feel, but not like that of any projection system I was used to, no sir. It felt more like viewing the film on the world's largest plasma. With a diagonal measurement of 120 inches, my dealer's Starglas installation destroyed the Panasonic and dwarfed even Runco's own King Kong-sized display.
Next, I cued up the latest Bond flick, Casino Royale (Sony Pictures Home Entertainment) on Blu-ray. The Sin City-esque opening scene projected onto Starglas was sharp, with stark contrast between the inky blacks and brilliant whites, yet it didn't possess any of the blooming or excessive noise I found with the Panasonic when viewing the same scene. While it's a bit unfair to judge a plasma display against a projection surface like Starglas, for the Runco projector does play a role in the overall performance, one cannot deny nor look past the value for dollar statement the Starglas/Runco combo makes. Nor can you look past the fact that, should you want to save more money, you can mate Starglas to a less expensive projector like my Sony Pearl and still achieve excellent results. Skin tones were rich, natural and very dimensional, allowing for the varying elevations of Daniel Craig's angular face to be experienced, as opposed to simply being seen. The depth of the image itself bordered on the surreal, more reminiscent of viewing actual events through an open window than a film seen through a playback device. Contrast and grayscale rendering was excellent, with nary an ounce of light or pixel wasted on the surface itself. Seriously, once you watch anything on Starglas, going back to a traditional screen or even a plasma or LCD display just seems like an outright compromise.
I ended my evaluation with some TV viewing via my dealer's DirectTV service. I watched a couple of minutes of SD and HD programs, ranging from a college football game to cheap infomercial. Regardless of the content the visual was appropriately rich and always enjoyable. When the lights came back on, the image remained. While a bit faded, it was by no means vomit-inducing. I just couldn't get over how little glare or reflection there was on the surface of the Starglas, given its surface and sheer size. When you turned the lights on near the Panasonic, it proved to be more of a mirror than a display, which simply wasn't the case with the Starglas. While the installations did vary and no doubt played a role in the ambient light performance of both, if it were my call (or money), I'd have to side with Starglas as being the best all-round performer, be it with low light, black or ambient light viewing.
The Downside
Okay, so I love Starglas. I love it so much that it hurts to know that, in my current living situation, there is no way I can own or have a Starglas theater. That's a downside right there, albeit my own fault for not owning a bigger, grander home.
Beyond my own materialism, there are some caveats regarding Starglas. First, it will require you to cut a rather large hole in your wall or potentially build out into your room. If you rent or lease your home, this may not be an option. Building out into your room would eliminate this problem, but Starglas is far from portable and you will be giving up a fair bit of square footage, depending on your projector.
While I consider Starglas to be a more cost-effective solution than larger than life plasma displays, if you want the most badass installation, complete with auto masking, killer projector and topnotch custom installation, the costs will quickly add up and rival those of the traditional competition. However, you're still going to save at the meter, because unless you're lighting up Starglas with a true theater-grade projector, it is not quite the pig for power the larger displays are.
With a base price of around $200 per square foot, the Starglas is quite a bargain, considering the benefits it provides over huge plasmas or LCD displays. However, Starglas is only as good as what you and/or your installer pair it with, which is a separate expense. Still, when I priced it out, my no-holds-barred Starglas-based home theater, complete with 1080p projector, auto masking and installation, was still thousands less than the comparable Panasonic or Runco 100-inch plasma mega-display. While not quite as simple as the picture-hanging technique used for most modest-sized flat-panel displays these days, the performance and cool factor of Starglas just blows all other display devices and surfaces out of the water. It is, without a doubt, the best viewing surface I've seen for all-around enjoyment on a large scale. It will ruin you and keep you up at night wondering which body part you're willing to part with for medical experiments just to afford it. At the very least, you'll walk around your home staring at walls, thinking to yourself, "I could put a screen there … Honey …"

Every IT organization relies on a handful of talented technical artisans to take on the trickiest tasks in the data center. These folks are the script wranglers, the IT cowboys (and girls) who -- through a brilliant infusion of intellect, competitive spirit and occasional subversion -- make the data center work. They're the heroes who make disproportionate contributions to the trade, and we love them for it.
But times are changing, and the role of the IT Hero is being reconsidered.
That is not to say that the IT Hero is any less loved or valued; in fact, the need for the IT Hero will persist ad infinitum. It's just that circumstances are forcing IT leadership to look beyond the preternaturally gifted few to run the data center. As system scale and complexity compounds, change accelerates, and business lines demand more -- faster -- IT needs to clear this bottleneck.
Traditionally, the IT Hero wrote the scripts that made IT processes scale. But as software and deployment environments become ever more diverse and dynamic, these scripts grow like kudzu. What began as a way to economize IT has become a large cost center in its own right: Today, maintaining scripts is often as costly as maintaining IT systems themselves.
And guess who manages these scripts?
That's the IT Hero: Brilliant, but overly entwined with the fitness and survival of the data center. What happens if he or she leaves the building? What happens when scale and change explode? Ever try recruiting heroes? They're few and far between. Of course, this ignores the more obvious point that IT has little appetite for any significant hiring in this age of "doing more with less."
Beyond the sheer opacity and inscrutability of scripts, there are a variety of technical reasons this approach to automation fails in a time of scale and change. I won't cover that ground here -- it could consume many pages of commentary, and it's expertly discussed by Erik Troan in his two-part series on the topic.
But the key point is that IT needs to shift from script-based to model-driven approaches to automation. While scripts provide detailed programmatic instructions that automate detailed procedures for how to perform a rote task, a model-driven approach allows IT to get out of the weeds and focus on the definition of the desired end-state rather than the exact steps to get there. Once the end-state is defined, the procedural execution is automated.
This model-driven approach to managing IT systems has several key advantages:
- IT Heroes can delegate. Traditionally, the thorniest IT issues have quickly escalated from front to backline support -- the domain of the IT Hero. Model-driven automation abstracts complexity, putting control in the hands of a broader set of IT personnel and allowing heroes to deflect many of the inbounds.
- IT Heroes can focus on higher-value tasks. Expending effort to write and maintain low-level scripts for undifferentiated processes -- in other words, processes that cannot yield a sustainable competitive advantage -- is a wasted use of talent. This evolution allows IT Heroes to focus on higher value, more strategic contributions.
- IT leadership can sleep at night. With comfort that the knowledge of how processes are automated is explicit and documented, rather than implicit and trapped between the ears of the smartest few. If the IT Hero departs to Google, the lights stay on and data center processes continue to function.
What's this mean for the best and brightest in IT? More interesting challenges to tackle, more business value to deliver. The truest IT Heroes are hardly threatened by their changing role. They're up for the challenge, inspired to lead the way forward, and to prove that their value and contributions cannot be commoditized. The IT Hero lives on.

There's been a lot of talk recently about "assault weapons," but it seems that many of the people doing the talking don't know anything at all about guns, and that's causing confusion.
As an Army-certified Small Arms Repairman and a lifelong firearms owner and enthusiast, I know a little bit about guns and assault rifles, so I'd like to set the record straight about a few things.
First off, the term "assault weapon" is a made-up name. There really is no such thing. The term was coined by some firearm marketers back in the 1970s to describe military-looking, semi-auto firearms. Anti-gun extremists recognized it as a catchy and scary term and exploited it for all it was worth. The term was a play on the valid label "assault rifle," which is a lightweight, selective fire rifle or carbine. The key there is that term "selective fire," which means the operator can select either single shot or multi-shot modes of fire. In other words, a true assault rifle can fire one shot for each trigger pull, or it can fire a burst or string of shots for each trigger pull – machine-gun mode.
What Feinstein, Obama and Holder are calling "assault weapons" are not selective fire. They are not machine guns and are not capable of selective fire. Nor are they easily modified to be able to fire like machine guns. These guns are semi-auto firearms that fire one round each time the trigger is pulled, just like a typical revolver or semi-auto pistol, or the 100-year-old Winchester Model 1907.
The only thing that distinguishes an "assault weapon" from any other semi-auto firearm is its appearance. What the gun ban crowd calls "assault weapons" are guns that are made to look like military weapons, but which function like common hunting firearms. Certainly this appearance could make them more appealing to someone bent on mayhem because they look "menacing," but they are not more "deadly." As a matter of fact, typical military-look firearms like the AR15 fire cartridges that are ballistically inferior to common hunting rounds. The AR15's 5.56mm NATO cartridge is so anemic that it is not allowed for deer hunting in most states, but that doesn't stop the "experts" in the media from routinely referring to them as "high-powered" and "devastating."
The confusion about what these firearms are, how they operate and what they are capable of is no accident, though. In a "report" in 1988, Josh Sugarmann of the Violence Policy Center advocated for exploitation of the potential confusion. He said "The weapons' menacing looks, coupled with the public's confusion over fully automatic machine guns versus semi-automatic assault weapons – anything that looks like a machine gun is assumed to be a machine gun – can only increase the chance of public support for restrictions on these weapons. In addition, few people can envision a practical use for these weapons."
As to the practical use of military-looking firearms, along with being extremely fun to shoot, an integral part of the fastest-growing shooting sport in the country, and popular for varmint hunting, they are very handy, excellent for home-defense and very reliable and durable. They are the sport-bikes of the shooting world: sleek, fast and cool. But most importantly, they are the very types of firearms referenced in the Second Amendment because they are more suitable for militia duty and training than anything else the average person can afford to own.
Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., has introduced a new bill to ban the manufacture, importation and sale of these scary-looking guns. When she got a ban passed in 1994 she defined "assault weapons" as any semi-auto firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine and which has any two specific military-looking feature. But when manufacturers began making their guns without those military-looking features, Feinstein and her ilk protested that the manufacturers were dodging the law by using "loopholes." So in her latest iteration of an "assault weapon" ban she has redefined them to be any semi-auto capable of accepting a detachable magazine and which has any one specified military-looking feature. And in case there is any doubt about Sen. Feinstein's ultimate objectives, she made those very clear in 1994 in an interview on CBS' "60 Minutes" when she said; "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them … Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it."
There was also much consternation about the previous ban allowing current owners of the "evil black rifles" to keep them and treat them like they actually owned them – legally buying, selling and trading them amongst their peers – so in the new iteration Feinstein is requiring registration and restrictions on resale and transfers. As in 1994, she is also trying to ban magazines with greater than 10-round capacity because "no one needs a 30-bullet clip to hunt with."
Among the millions of Americans who presently own these guns, many are going to reject as unconstitutional any law requiring registration of any of their firearms and will refuse to comply. Is Sen. Feinstein going to order that these people be arrested, jailed, or possibly killed because they understand "shall not be infringed" to mean shall not be infringed?
As I have pointed out before, a magazine is nothing more than a box with a spring in it, very similar to a Pez candy dispenser. There are literally hundreds of millions of standard 20- and 30-round magazines in circulation, and a 10-round magazine can easily be converted to a 20-round magazine with just some poster board, paperclips, duct tape and rubber bands. How many lives would be ruined or lost and dollars spent trying to enforce that unenforceable law?
While it is the principle that matters most in this debate, from a practical standpoint these laws are just plain stupid. So called "assault weapons" have never accounted for more than about 1 percent of all gun crime, and regardless of what ban supporters claim, there is absolutely no statistical evidence that the '94 ban had any impact on crime whatsoever. A quick look at Wikipedia can easily confirm that.
Call your elected servants and tell them that restricting responsible gun owners does not impede criminals. Tell them: No New Gun Laws.

Press Release
Norway's Eivind Melleby wins only race
The international fleet competing at the 2011 Melges 24 World Championship in Corpus Christi, Texas, was given a gentle introduction to the championship with just a single medium airs race possible on Day 1 of the Pre-Worlds Regatta. With the after effects of the spectacular electrical storms which have been rumbling through Texas over the past few days preventing the customary 15+ knot thermal winds from developing, the first scheduled race of the day got underway bang on time in a somewhat recalcitrant 10 knots of breeze.
After an initial General Recall, the fleet got off at the second time of asking, with the bulk of the boats initially working the middle left of the beat. At the top mark it was Brian Porter at the helm of USA 749 Full Throttle who led by a couple of lengths from Ricardo Simoneschi on ITA 819 AUDI, with Eivind Melleby on NOR 804 Full Medal Jacket, in third. Melleby was the first of the leading group to gybe at the top of the run and this move gave him a narrow lead over Porter by the mid point of the leg. The two leading boats split at the leeward gate, with Melleby rounding the right hand buoy just seconds before Porter got to the right hand gate mark.
The next beat saw Melleby pick his way expertly through the shifts and weakening pressure to pull out a huge lead by the second windward mark. Alan Field on USA 811 WTF and Kristen Lane on USA 812 Brick House 812, also made significant gains on this leg to round close together in second and third places. The final run was sailed in a rapidly fading breeze, which enabled Melleby to extend his lead even further by the finish, with Lane taking second and Simoneschi closing out third.
Despite the best efforts of the Race Committee, soon after the last boat had ghosted home the breeze evaporated almost completely, leaving them no alternative but to send the fleet ashore to relax, tinker with their boats, and enjoy the glorious Texas sunshine. Later in the afternoon competitors took part in an informative post-racing debrief clinic, fronted by a panel of experts including Principal Race Officer Mark Foster, triple Melges 24 World Champion Federico Michetti, and double Melges 24 World Champion Vince Brun.
More light to medium conditions are expected for the final day of the Pre-Worlds Regatta tomorrow, with the beginnings of a return to the more characteristic bigger breezes anticipated for the start of the main Championship Series on Monday.
Racing at the 2011 Melges 24 World Championship runs through until Saturday 21 May with two scheduled races per day.You can keep up with all the latest news and developments from the 2011 Melges 24 World Championship via the International Melges 24 Blog, www.melges24.com and the event website.

ATLANTA—If Americans stopped smoking, ate healthier, worked out more and made better use of available screening tests, half of cancer deaths could be prevented, according to a report released by the American Cancer Society (ACS) in late March.
The annual report, Cancer Prevention and Early Detection Facts & Figures 2005, showed that about 35 percent of US adults are overweight and another 30 percent are considered obese. Nearly 16 percent of kids ages 6 to 19 were considered too heavy. Heavy kids are more likely to become heavy adults, and the 2003 ACS report found that excess weight raises the risk of dying from many types of cancer including breast cancer in certain age groups, the most common cancer for women, and prostate cancer, the most common cancer for men.
The report stated numerous reason for the obesity problems including high-calorie foods being widely marketed and available, Americans relying more on cars, schools cutting physical education programs, and kids favoring television, video games and computers to outdoor activities. The report urges Americans to follow ACS nutritional and exercise guidelines while encouraging restaurants to provide nutritional information, having communities designed to encourage exercise with safe sidewalks, bike lanes, and parks, and improving the quality of food served to children at school.
Despite obesity rates, the U.S. has made some progress in reducing the threat of cancer. Fewer adults and children are smoking because of many factors including higher tobacco taxes, laws limiting smoking in public places and anti-smoking legislation; however, the report warns that many state programs that helped lower smoking rates have been drastically scaled back because of budget problems.
Besides lifestyle changes, the report said following screening recommendations was crucial to reducing the risk of dying from cancer. Rates of breast and cervical cancer screening are generally high, however colon cancer screening remains low. The report said improving insurance coverage of these procedures is key to increasing their use.

Hanging of the Parliament
The political parties, however, didn't do so hot. Oddly, though electoral politics is supposedly a zero-sum game, all three major parties managed to lose. The Tories fell short of the majority they were hoping for; Labour lost a ton of seats and had their worst showing in decades; and the Lib Dems, despite anticipation of major gains and predictions that they might crack 100 seats, actually lost a handful of seats. The Tories now have 305 seats, to Labour's 258, and the Lib Dems' 57, with the rest distribute amongst various regional parties and a Green. With ~323 needed to form a majority, the parliament is, as they say, hung.
For comparison, this is what the map looked like after the last election, in ought-five:

Sad that under the current system, the Lib Dems are consigned to parts of the Celtic fringe (and they lost some of those as well) + a handful of middle-class liberal suburbs.
Looks like these red are Labour core districts; hard to see them losing much more of their urban & Scottish core.

This simulation exercise teaches the students the operation of BJT transistor, what is current gain and how one extracts current gain from the Gummel plot. It also provides output device characteristics from which students have to extract the Early voltage. Furthermore, it makes the students explore alternative dimensions for which one can get higher current gain and higher Early voltage. Overall, it is excellent introductory exercise to basic BJT transistor operation.
