Seaming A Sleeve Cap Tutorial: Part 2
And, you're done! Congratulations. Now, try on the sweater and check the sleeve seams in a mirror to make sure that they make you happy and proud.
I think it's important to note that it is completely normal to have to rip out a sleeve seam and have a little do-over now and then–saaaayyyy…every other sleeve or so. (I'm only sort of kidding.) Don't be discouraged if you find that a sleeve seam didn't come out perfectly the first time. As I said above, stitching a sleeve seam is both an art and a science: I can tell you which stitches to use where, and show you step-by-step photos, but…every pattern is different.
The method above, however, has helped me to kick some serious sleeve. I hope it helps you to do likewise.
I love to hear from you, so leave a comment and let me know if you have questions or comments.
I'm working on the shawl collar. I keep thinking I'm done…and yet, I'm not. It's a fun collar to work, but I'm getting impatient to have this cardi done! Check in next Thursday to see if I've conquered it by then.
Knit in the sunshine for a while if you can.

Never See Home Again
I watched the news today, there was a man on and here is what he had to say. "
The government grounds the Osprey today after another fatal crash". Another
fatal crash, more lives lost. Another Marine who won't make it home for the
holidays, another Marine who will never see home again. Yet here we go about
our merry way, laughing and celebrating the upcoming Christmas Day. Yet how can
I celebrate, when I know that other families are home waiting and praying for
the bodies of their dead to make it home to be laid in the ground, their lives
frozen in time ended on this date. No they wont ever grow old, they wont ever
retire, they walk on streets of gold now, and God says " They shall mount up
with wings as eagles, they shall run and not grown weary, they shall walk and
not faint." No they don't hurt, they're beyond it now. Though I didnt know them
I loved them somehow. They served me, they protected me, and forever grateful
will I be. To those who died this Monday, who never should have boarded the
Osprey that day.

ORLANDO, FLA. (April 17, 11 a.m. ET) — "Connectivity" was the theme for Wittmann Battenfeld Inc. at NPE2012, where officials said you now can be on the golf course and check your molding machines — if you want to.
"He could be in his production shop. He could be looking at his plant in Puerto Rico or if he's in China," said President David Preusse at the company's news conference on April 4.
At NPE2012, all six injection molding presses were connected with the company's auxiliary equipment.
"This is a real technology. It's not just a trade show gimmick," Preusse said. "We're using it today, with our customers."
Wittmann Battenfeld, the North American unit of Austria-based Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH, generates about $90 million in sales and is forecasting a 15 percent increase in North American sales this year.
"The U.S. is still quite strong," he said. So far this year, the U.S. injection press market is tracking at about 3,000 units per year, he said.
Preusse said Wittmann robot sales also quite strong.
Georg Tinschert, president and CEO of Wittmann Battenfeld GmbH, said the company enjoyed good growth in 2011, as sales increased by 25 percent over 2010. He credited the new Power Series.
This year, he predicts sales will increase by 5 percent. "We had five or six months of backlog when we started 2012," Tinschert said.
This year, he said, the company will expand the Power Series, adding a multi-component molding to the EcoPower press, and adding foaming capability to its larger-tonnage presses.
This year, the machinery maker is building a 17,220-square-foot addition at its headquarters in Kottingbrunn, Austria, to expand the press assembly area.
Wittmann Battenfeld is showing a number of technologies this week in Florida, including a wide-platen, 850-ton MacroPower press molding then fully assembling a five-part folding box.

CRESTVIEW � By all rights, John Rhodes shouldn't be bicycling around Florida. In fact, if his doctor had been right, he wouldn't even have been alive to visit Crestview.
CRESTVIEW � By all rights, John Rhodes shouldn't be bicycling around Florida. In fact, if his doctor had been right, he wouldn't even have been alive to visit Crestview.
To follow along on John's ride, visit his Google+ page: https://plus.google.com/117322044595025637984/posts>>
After riding almost 92 miles from Quincy Sunday, the 53-year-old Gainesville resident tooled into town Monday on a 2,900-mile statewide bicycling tour to raise awareness of diabetes.
After beating Type 2 diabetes himself, having had several mini-strokes, having "a blown left knee and a partially blown right knee," beating a diagnosed terminal melanoma, and being hit by a drunken driver, Rhodes has faced more than his share of challenges.
Diagnosed in 1998 with melanoma, a form of skin cancer, he decided to walk west from Gainesville to sort life out. When he reached New Orleans, he decided to keep going, winding up, still on foot, in Seattle.
"I thought I was going to die," Rhodes said. "Obviously I'm still alive."
Wheelchair bound
After the drunk driver hit him while on a Portland, Maine-to-Miami awareness bike ride, Rhodes ended up in a motorized wheelchair for almost 11 years. His weight rose to 485 pounds.
Then the motor burned out on his wheelchair. With a thrift store crutch � and against doctor's orders � he decided he would walk again.
For more information on living with diabetes, visit the American Diabetes Association page: www.diabetes.org>>
Quitting smoking, adjusting his eating habits and exercising helped Rhodes shed weight, lower his blood pressure and cholesterol, and beat Type 2 diabetes. Today he weighs 198 pounds.
Earlier this year, Rhodes decided to raise awareness of drunken driving�s hazards and, in May, began his state-wide cycling tour supporting Mothers Against Drunk Driving.
However, cycling through Central Florida in a region he described as "filled with rednecks," Rhodes had not only epithets but booze bottles hurled at him.
"'We like our beer!'" Rhodes said people shouted at him from their vehicles.
Change of mission
When the rear axle dropped off the custom-made quadricycle he'd been riding, Rhodes sold the vehicle and returned home to Gainesville to rethink his mission.
Buying a mountain bike with a child transport trailer from Wal-Mart, he changed his campaign to diabetes awareness and embarked again.
Along the way, Rhodes relies on donations from people he encounters to buy food and make repairs on the bike.
"A tire here, a tube there, brakes, food � it adds up pretty quick," Rhodes said. "The Wal-Marts along the way have been real good to me."
However, he stressed, raising money is not the focus of his trek. Rather, it�s engaging the people he meets and sharing his life story to encourage others to make lifesaving lifestyle changes.
"Riding the bike doesn't do anything," Rhodes said. "It's not reaching people. You don't reach people until you talk to people."
Yesterday morning, John Rhodes was on the road again, heading east on U.S. Highway 90 to Pensacola. When he's completed the Panhandle segment, he'll be ready to tackle the south-central part of Florida.
"Don't accept a diagnosis of Type 2 diabetes," Rhodes said. "Make changes to your lifestyle habits. And exercise!"

Toolmaker Talks: Bastian Greshake (openSNP)
Ernesto Ramirez
October 30, 2012
We talk about very frequently here on the QS website about tools, methods, and systems that help us understand ourselves. When it comes to the self there may be nothing more fundamental to understanding our objective ourness than our basic genetic makeup. Many of you have probably undergone or have thought of using Direct-To-Consumer genetic testing to better understand your phenotypes, disease risk, or even your ancestry. That's all great, and I've spent a lot of valuable time combing through my own genetic data, but like most data true power lies in large datasets that provide observations across many individuals. So how do you participate in that type of sharing and learning? Enter the team at the openSNP.org. Today we talk with Bastian Greshake, one the developers behind the openSNP project.
How do you describe openSNP? What is it?
The too long, didn't read version: A open platform which allows people to share their genetic information and traits, which are suspected to be at least partially genetically predisposed, which also tries to annotate those genetic variants with primary scientific literature. The data can be exported from openSNP through the website or through APIs, making it easy to re-use the data.
A longer version: openSNP has basically two target groups and users may as well fit in both categories.
First there are customers of Direct-To-Consumer (DTC) genetic testing like 23andMe who want to share their genetic information with the public for various reasons. Those can use openSNP to release their genetic data into the public domain using the Creative Commons license which is applied to the data uploaded and entered in openSNP.
As genetic information is interesting but not very useful to analyze the effect of genetic variants on bodily traits those users can also enter information about traits which might genetically influenced and create new possible categories which all other users then can enter. Those traits range from the more obvious ones, like eye and hair color, to more exotic ones like political ideology. A few weeks ago we also created a method for users to also connect their Fitbit accounts to openSNP to make the collection of data easier and more standardized. The genetic effects on activity, sleep habits and weight loss/gain can more easily be analyzed in this fashion.
We also mine the databases of Mendeley, the Public Library of Science and the SNPedia to annotate the genetic variants users carry. This allows customers of DTC testing to find out what the recent scientific literature is able to tell them about their genetic variants. While the SNPedia is a crowd-curated Wiki, Mendeley and the Public Library of Science link back to primary literature, in the latter case even to Open Access literature which is full text available for everyone.
The second group of users who are interested in openSNP are scientists and citizen scientists who are interested in using the data for their own studies, be it to figure out what genetics can tell us about our ancestry or which effects single variants have on disease risks or other traits. The data can be downloaded from openSNP in bulk or more granularly accessed through a JSON-API and the Distributed Annotation System, a standard in Bioinformatics, which for example is used to visualize the data.
Both groups can profit from the commenting features which allows users to communicate about traits and individual genetic variants. The internal message system of openSNP also facilitates further communication, for example to share details about shared traits and diseases or to allow people who want to use the data to get back in touch with the people who uploaded the data. The latter one enables the direct exchange between those two user-groups in a bidirectional way: Researchers can ask questions about traits and people who have shared their data have a back channel as well and can get notified about the results researchers have made.
What's the backstory? What led to it?
It more or less began with me getting my genetic information analyzed by 23andMe myself. After I received the results I published the data in a git repository on GitHub to make it available for others who might benefit of having more data. As I started to dig deeper into my own results and the raw data I wanted to have more data sets myself, to be able to compare the results. But unfortunately there wasn't a single resource for such data. Some people also had published their data on GitHub, others on their own websites, collected publicly available data sets in a Google Spreadsheet or participated in projects like the Personal Genome Project.
This was quite frustrating: Finding the data was hard and it most often there was no additional data about traits attached. And more often than one would expect there was also no way to contact to people who made the data public. So the idea to create a platform to solve this problem grew and I contacted some friends to see if they were interested in doing such a platform, just for fun. We started out with the basic idea of creating a platform where people could upload their genetic data along with some traits they have. A couple of weeks after we started to work on the project we stumbled upon the APIs of Mendeley & the Public Library of Science and thought it might be cool to include additional data about the genetic variants as well. During the development we came up with more and more features, like the openSNP APIs. All in all the project is still growing and we're working on adding and refining features.
What impact has it had? What have you heard from users?
We submitted the first release of openSNP to the 2011 PLOS/Mendeley Binary Battle, a competition interested in creative ways to use their APIs and won the first prize. We also secured a small grant from the German Wikimedia Foundation, which allowed us to genotype over 20 people, mainly from underrepresented groups, to diversify the available data. Those persons have now released their genetic data on openSNP as well. Right now we have over 250 genetic data sets on openSNP and just short of 600 registered users. Those numbers don't sound to impressive in the age of one billion people on Facebook. But to put it into perspective: Genetic testing is still a niche thing and before openSNP was released there were about 40-50 of those data sets publicly available.
The feedback of our users has been very positive. Many users come up with new ideas for features they like to see added and we are really open to those suggestions and critiques. Many of the API methods, which are now implemented (and the whole Distributed Annotation System), are only in place because user let us know they wanted them. I know of users who are actively using openSNP to learn more about their test results and are in an active exchange with other users with similar traits. And while the amount of data we have so far doesn't really allow scientifically sound studies there are already people using the data, for example there are users who run their self-written analysis-tools over the openSNP-data sets and report the results back to the users, which is amazing.
What makes it different, sets it apart?
Of course we're not really the first to think of such an idea but are more or less a remix. For example 23andMe themselves do use the data of consenting customers for studies. They also provide questionaries about traits which users can take. But this data isn't available to the public, due to (perfectly reasonable) concerns in terms of privacy, bio-ethics and liability. On the other hand there are projects like the Personal Genome Project, which publishes traits and genetic data of participants into the public domain. But due to similar reasons like with 23andMe the participation in the project isn't open to everyone.
We feel that informed individuals should be in the position to share their data with the world, like they are already doing on their own websites, in an easy fashion. And of course we're targeting a slightly different group: Probably over 150,000 people are customers of some DTC genetic testing, this is a huge potential data source which could be used to help us understand new and exciting things.
What are you doing next? How do you see openSNP evolving?
We're still developing and refining openSNP. One of the biggest problems right now is the quality of the data for the additional traits. We have kept the process of adding data really open on purpose, to make it easy for people to provide additional information about themselves. Unfortunately this has the side-effect that the quality of the descriptions varies wildly. Those problems start of with regional idiosyncrasies: Is it "Eye Color" or "Eye Colour" and are you using the metric or the imperial system of units? And is your eye color blue or "Indeterminate brown-green with a subtle grey caste"? This granular data can be very useful, but for many applications it can be too specific. With the implementation of the Fitbit API we've taken a first step to keep the entering of data simple but unified at the same time. And we're currently looking into other ways of how one could counter problems like this.
We're also looking in more data sources to annotate the genetic variants listed in openSNP, to provide even more information for customers of DTC testing. And we're also working on making our APIs more powerful. With the rOpenSci package there is already a great library which makes use of the APIs in the current state, but of course we would like to see more of those libraries.
And it's hard to say in which direction openSNP will evolve as we are a bit dependent on the DTC genetic testing industry. More and more data, like Whole-Genome or Exome Sequencing, is generated and we are working on reflecting those changes on openSNP as well. And we're open for any suggestions. So if you find that a feature is missing you should let us know, we will try to work out a way of how this might be usefully implemented.
Anything else you'd like to say?
First of all: We know, genetic information is sensitive and depending on where you are living there might not even be laws to protect you from discrimination based of your genes. Other countries, like the US with the Genetic Information Discrimination Act (GINA), have some mechanisms against this, but even those might not offer total protection in the end. And you should also keep in mind that your genetic information does not only give away details about yourself, but by design also about the next of kin. I think this is really important. If you are thinking about publishing your genetic data please keep those issues in mind. And if you come to the conclusion that this isn't for you as you have to fear negative repercussions or just have a gut feeling of not really wanting to publish the data: Please don't do it.
And what I also can't stress enough is that openSNP is developed and run by a team of about four people and we are all doing this in our spare time as a fun project and as community service, without compensation. Some of us have day jobs, others are still studying and some even do both. So while we are doing our best to keep everything running it might sometimes take a while. But if you feel like contributing to the project please get in touch with us. We'd love to have more people in on this.

Authors note: Data sharing, especially genetic data, is a very sensitive topic in our community. I want to fully disclose my bias towards openness and sharing. I believe that our kindergarden teachers had it right when they taught us that sharing is one of the fundamental human traits we should all cultivate. To this end, I have participated in openSNP and you can view my genetic data here and my Fitbit data here.
This is the 18th post in the "Toolmaker Talks" series. The QS blog features intrepid self-quantifiers and their stories: what did they do? how did they do it? and what have they learned? In Toolmaker Talks we hear from QS enablers, those observing this QS activity and developing self-quantifying tools: what needs have they observed? what tools have they developed in response? and what have they learned from users' experiences? If you are a "toolmaker" and want to participate in this series, contact Rajiv Mehta or Ernesto Ramirez.

In a recently published article entitled Why Projects Fail (And How to Avoid the Pitfalls) published by Enterprise Systems, Senior Director of Strategy for Oracle Projects Colleen Baumbach outlines many of the common mistakes that lead to project failure.
I think one of the best points Ms. Baumbach makes is at the end where she says the accumulated years of project failures almost creates a mindset from the start that a project is doomed. As she notes, there are countless studies that have been prepared showing how dismal project success rates are.
How are companies addressing this? According to a Forrester study published in early 2007, twenty-six percent of IT leaders planned to hire project managers and 59 percent planned to train their current staff in project management in 2007. They noted that those numbers changed very little from 2002.
Further reasoning behind the rush to acquire or train more qualified project managers:
"The reason for the continued emphasis on project management skills is because IT's value to business remains contingent on it's ability to deliver projects which meet business requirements both on time and on budget. IT staff accustomed to more technical roles struggle to transition to project management, CIO's argue, and complain that educational institutions are not putting adequate focus on these skills through coursework."
It should be a good time to be a project manager as long as you know how to avoid the pitfalls.

- Mobremote([1]) a free software (soon will be released for Linux too )
- Chrome extension([2])
- Developed and managed websites for
ROBOMANIPAL ([3]) Mobremote ([4])
- working on a KDE plasmoid currently.
Other Certifications and Internships:

- Addon and Extension Development:For developing Chrome ,firefox and other extensions.
- Taken Sessions of Mobremote for
-Faculty members of MCA and IT Department of MIT,Manipal -GTUG Manipal
- Session on How To start using Linux in Linux Install Fest
My Ideas:
- I want that even when a new Linux users starts using Fedora then he faces least number of problems ,as any person would learn anything more easily by watching videos rather that studying text tutorials.So there must as many as possible Videos from installation to the rest setting up process present at ever place.I had faced certain problems so have many ideas of the fields for which video tutorials can be made.
- Few other things related to Login screen modification are also in mind which if changed ,then its going to be a great experience for the end user.
- I want fedora and its news being reached to each and every person even if he's not a linux user and I am quite sure of how to do that,so that each person must think once to switch to fedora.

Since I've been here last my wife and I have had an anniversary (39 years!), I've done a lot of gardening, and I have spent the last week and a half recovering from cellulitis in my right leg. The cellulitis was somewhat debilitating since there is a high fever involved, a swollen and painful leg, and a lot of dizziness and such caused by low blood pressure (for the first three days my BP was 87/56) and danger of fainting. The antibiotics have gotten rid of it, but my skin itches and burns a bit, like a sunburn. One of the side effects of the infection and antibiotics is that it plays merry hell with my blood sugar; at times (with little or no carb intake) my sugar will sometimes bounce from 100 to 225, and after a night's sleep run to 180, Hopefully now that I'm done with the antibiotics this foolishness will come to an end. Haven't had a decent night's sleep in a long time, I seem to be tired a lot as a result.
But enough about me.
GBR VII is coming up during the first week of September, hopefully it will be a good time like last year.
I notice a lot of news about the civil war in Syria; the media acts almost shocked at the scale of the killing and mayhem going on. That area of the world has always been violent and bloody; the middle east is populated by governments that other than borrowed technology, have never advanced out of the Dark Ages. They still wage war and kill each other the same as their tribal forebears going back 3000 years. Why should they stop now, just because someone has introduced them to better weaponry? The hate and violence goes on, and I doubt it will ever change.
Since I was here last, we have had several high profile shootings.
A nut collects some firearms, and opens up in a movie theater.
Some dirtbag decides to shoot up a Sikh temple.
A disgruntled worker in NYC kills his boss.
Some people would blame the firearms; to me the commonality in all of these is that the shooter picked places where they didn't have to worry about other people being able to defend themselves. The theater had a no-guns policy, the temple only allowed the kirpan, and NYC does everything short of banning handguns in the city. These were all Kill Zones, and I would not be surprised to see more atrocities as some of these criminals realize that as long as there are places like that, it is like shooting fish in a barrel.
Would armed citizens have been able to stop these shootings, or cut down on the damage? It is hard to tell; maybe they could have changed things, maybe not, but at least someone would have been able to try, and I doubt if they could have turned out worse. We saw what happened in NYC; they police injured several bystanders by firing 16 shots at the gunman, and hit in less than half the shots. Contrary to what people see on TV and in the movies, the average policeman is not that good of a shot. A lot of them only shoot their sidearm once or twice a year when qualifying. Most non-LEO gun owners I know spend a lot more time, and are much better shots. Your chances of being accidentally shot by a policeman as compared to a CCW carrier are roughly 5 to 1 from what I remember of the stats compiled by the CDC.
Just something to keep in mind.

In testing I found it is not possible to export G7 calibration measurements and then bring them back in for a new calibration. It fiscally can be done but the output is way off. Something must be missing in exporting or loading the measurement in the new calibration dialog.
So I guess if I want to try G7 calibration with the ES-2000 and then use the FWA and create a profile on top of that I would at least have to do the initial G7 calibration with 1 copy.

Cancer trials typically do not assess smoking history of participants even though studies have shown tobacco use has adverse effects on cancer treatments, researchers at Roswell Park Cancer Institute and Yale Cancer Center report in a study published in the Journal of Cancer Oncology.
The study — led by Dr. Graham Warren at Roswell Park and conducted by Yale psychiatry postdoctoral researcher Erica N. Peters — looked at 155 National Cancer Institute-sponsored trials, and showed that only 29% assessed tobacco use.
"It is shocking that most of these trials don't assess tobacco use," said Dr. Benjamin Toll, Peters' mentor in psychiatry.

Centerback A.J. DeLaGarza was upgraded to questionable and three LA Galaxy players were removed entirely from the club's injury report issued on Tuesday evening. The report is the second to last injury update issued by the Galaxy and the Houston Dynamo ahead of Saturday's MLS Cup at The Home Depot Center.
DeLaGarza has been listed as out with a left knee sprain since he suffered the injury during a Sept. 30 match with the Colorado Rapids. The news comes after DeLaGarza told reporters earlier in the day that his knee was "almost 100 percent" and that he was confident he could play if called upon on Saturday. Also, Landon Donovan (R hamstring tightness), Edson Buddle (L plantar inflammation) and Juninho (R Achilles inflammation) were all removed from the club's injury list.
Meanwhile, on the Houston side, forward Calen Carr and midfielder Ricardo Clark were each upgraded to probable after being listed as questionable in the club's last injury report. Carr has been unavailable since Houston's Eastern Conference Semifinal Second Leg against Sporting Kansas City due to a left hamstring strain while Clark was forced to start the Dynamo's Conference Championship Second Leg against D.C. United on the bench because of a left adductor strain.
Below are the complete reports for the Galaxy and the Houston Dynamo as of Tuesday.
LA GALAXY: OUT: DF Leonardo (R knee inflammation); MF Kyle Nakazawa (back spasms); QUESTIONABLE: DF A.J. DeLaGarza (L knee sprain)
HOUSTON DYNAMO: PROBABLE: FW Calen Carr (L hamstring strain); MF Ricardo Clark (L adductor strain)

Given a finite set of statements known to be true, I need to derive all the "non-redundant" statements in disjunctive form using only literals that can be derived from this set of statements, i e all statements on the form (a ∨ b ∨ c ∨ ...) where a, b ... are literals. By non-redundant I mean that I do not wish to include a statement if one of the literals could be removed and it would still always be true (given the initial set of statements).
Another way of looking at this would be that I want a statements in conjunctive normal form, but that includes all non-redundant statements as the inner groups, not just the minimal set equivalent to the initial set of statements.
A naive algorithm for this would be to test all assignments of truth values to literals, keeping only the ones that 1) are true given the initial set of statements 2) are non-redundant (tested by assigning false to each of the literals in the statement, checking if it still remains slow). However, the number of literals I'll be working with will be so large that this naive approach is not feasible.
What I'm looking for is an algorithm that will efficiently produce the set of statements as described above, such as the strategies that can be used to convert to a conjunctive normal form.

Shashank Prasanna, MathWorks
Machine learning is ubiquitous. From medical diagnosis, speech, and handwriting recognition to automated trading and movie recommendations, machine learning techniques are being used to make critical business and life decisions every moment of the day. Each machine learning problem is unique, so it can be challenging to manage raw data, identify key features that impact your model, train multiple models, and perform model assessments.
In this session we explore the fundamentals of machine learning using MATLAB. Through several examples we review typical workflows for both supervised learning (classification) and unsupervised learning (clustering).
Highlights include
About the Presenter: Shashank Prasanna is a product marketing manager at MathWorks, where he focuses on MATLAB and add-on products for statistics, machine learning, and data analytics.

Univ. of Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield issues apology for weekend arrest
Oklahoma quarterback Baker Mayfield on Tuesday issued an apology for his weekend arrest in Arkansas.
"With a heavy heart and many more emotions than just one ... I sincerely apologize for my actions early Saturday morning," Mayfield tweeted. "I made the biggest mistake of my life by putting myself in this situation."
Mayfield was arrested on misdemeanor complaints of public intoxication, disorderly conduct, fleeing and resisting arrest.
According to a booking report, Mayfield was intoxicated, his speech was slurred, he smelled of alcohol and he had difficulty walking down stairs. An officer tried to talk to Mayfield, who started to yell profanities and was causing a scene, the report said.
Mayfield was named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy in December after leading the Sooners to a 10-2 regular season. He threw for 3,965 yards and 40 touchdowns while completing 70.9 percent of his passes. Mayfield also ran for six scores.
He joined Oklahoma's football program in 2014 after transferring from Texas Tech, where he played one season as a walk-on. In two full seasons in Norman, Mayfield has amassed 7,665 passing yards, 582 rushing yards and 89 total touchdowns.
Mayfield was named the Most Outstanding Player for the 2017 Sugar Bowl after a two-touchdown performance against Auburn.

I sent a Letter of Demand to the City of Oakland to remove this monument.
Demand to City of Oakland re: 10 Commandments
Letter to City of Oakland Demanding Removal of 10 Commandments From Zoo

Mayor Jean Quan

East Bay Zoological Society

Oakland, Ca. 94605
RE: Violation of 1st Amendment "Separation of Church and State"
Dear City of Oakland, Mayor Jean Quan, Oakland Zoo,
My name is Joey Piscitelli, and I am a supporter of the Oakland Zoo, and have attended several events at the zoo, including weddings and other occasions at the "Snow Building", located on the Zoo property; which you authoritatively rent out to the public as an event center.
I am also a supporter of 1st Amendment rights, freedom of religious choice, and equality. To my shock, I was very disappointed to see that the City of Oakland displays a very large monument at the Snow Building entitled: "The Ten Commandments". This monument is categorically a Christian symbol; and a blatant pronouncement of adherence to the Bible and the belief in the Christian God.
This doctrine is certified by the first phrase carved onto the monument which states:
"I am the Lord thy God" in large bold letters.
The second phrase states that:
"Thou shalt not have any other Gods before me".
These are not ambiguous or generic phrases venerating a broad scope of deities, collectively known or shared as a universal "God", but rather they are in fact very specific literal religious commands by the monument and its placement; to set forth the obedience to its Christian content chosen by its donor.
I believe the donor of this monument willfully and expressly intended to proselytize the Christian doctrine, and to solidify their conviction that the Christian religion and its God, and the Bible are the authoritative religion in the USA; as evidenced by their very clear statements on the donors website.
The Fraternal Order of Eagles, who "donated" this monument created in 1965 which exists at the Zoo now - make no secret about their boasting of their accomplished successful placement of the Ten Commandments on "public" properties throughout the USA.
This intent and conduct denigrates the views and beliefs of countless opposing citizens; and allows special treatment to only Christian doctrine – irrespective of equal opportunity.
If in fact, this was merely an act of equal free speech, then why is this particular religious monument the only opinionated non-secular monument displayed on Oakland Zoo public property?
No other representations of other beliefs are visibly posted anywhere at all on the massive acreage referred to as the "Oakland Zoo".
I am aware that different states have had different Supreme Court decisions handed down concerning the posting of the Ten Commandments on public properties. One of the weakest arguments for the posting is that : "no one has complained about it's placement in (37) years." (Which may not be proven as factual.)
This argument does not dissuade the problem of specific religious endorsement by public entities - it exasperates it.
Echoing the words of the Gettysburg Address by Abraham Lincoln: "four score and seven years ago" (87 years) - slavery was in existence in defiance of the constitutional equality of all men for nearly 100 years; before legal intervention proceeded to finally correct it. Thus, the mere passage of time that elapses before a constitutional violation is corrected, is not an excuse for its continued debasement.
Another argument used by the donors of Christian doctrine monuments placed intentionally upon public properties is that : retroactively, when considering the date the monument was placed, it was a reflection of a "part of the history of the property", and therefore it should remain as an object of historical significance.
In opposition to that opinion, I state that signs were posted that "Negroes" were not allowed in establishments in many southern states for decades, and that was unarguably "part of their southern history".
But we do not honor and continue to endorse those prejudicial proclamations - simply because they were "part of the history"of the south. Additionally, and to the point – those placards were eventually removed because they breached mandated federal law.
Your neighboring City of Concord, allowed the verbiage "No Negroes allowed" to live in certain residential developments in the 1950's; and this is part of the that Citys history. This is also a constitutional violation that was struck down and rightfully removed; and one can not argue that it should remain posted "because it is part of the history of the city".
The existence of the rationalization of an incorrect violation of separation of church and state; by the proclamation that the monument is "historical", is deceivingly circumventing the true intent of the monument- which is decisively clear. One merely has to literally read the first four commandments to realize this.
Another argument used by the donors of these monuments is that: "no one else bothered to place any other monuments on the site for 40 years, and now they complain".
This is also a redundant argument - as we can all probably agree that if an atheist or Pagan had placed their symbol of belief on this public property in 1965; they would have surely been denied permission.
This year is 2012, and non-Christian believers would probably still be denied access to post any symbols on most, if not all - public properties that contain the said Christian monuments.
I am appalled at the imbalance of justice and the inequality displayed by the City of Oakland for favoring and condoning only this Christian monument on this public property; as it is insulting to the constitutional choice and lifestyle of alternative beliefs of any other citizens who are not adherents to Christianity and its Bible.
I do not have an objection to Christian churches and supporters placing their dogmatic objects of faith on private property; in fact I view it as constitutionally commendable.
However, the endorsement by the City of Oakland for this same dogma on public property is a substantiation of inimical favoritism.
Oakland is a very diverse and ethnically inspired city. I am sure that many people who frequent this zoo are unaware of this biased monument pronouncing the favoritism of Christian doctrine that dominates the western skyline; an antithetical testament that is demeaning to the citys expressed goals.
Ironically, the first posted sign that one observes when they enter the public property of the zoo is a sign that states: "It's your zoo".
Is it? Would John Q. Public presume that it may be – as long as the public adheres to the Christian posted ten commandments? If it is in fact our zoo, then we should have a voice when constitutional equality is compromised.
My daughter was married at the Snow building, and unfortunately, we did not go to the left side of the building overlooking the western horizon and bay, when we viewed the building before we rented it.
The day of the wedding, we went outside to view the sunset, and to take pictures, and there to our surprise – we viewed this giant monument, demanding obedience to the Christian faith and their God.
Many of our guests were shocked, and we were speechless and offended.
There was no warning to us by the officials at the Oakland public office of administration where we paid our money - that we were subject to the laws of the "Ten Commandments" at our own daughters wedding.
If the City of Oakland had disclosed beforehand that they endorse the Ten Commandments at the public site of the Snow Building; there is absolutely no doubt that I would not have been supportive of this unconstitutional behavior.
In conclusion, I/we demand the City of Oakland amicably correct this violation of the Constitution; by removing this prejudicial monument - and that the city conduct itself as a advocate for equality and freedom of choice. At the Oakland Zoo, apparently we are not given freedom of religious choice; as witnessed by the words carved in this granite monument commanding us to obey; but surely this injustice can be corrected.
I await your timely response,

I think the animals survive in their world free of religious doctrine, and the zoo officials, and the City could learn from them. However I would not put it past the officials to try to force the animals to obey the commandments, by whipping them.
Keep at it Joey. Those poor animals. This could spread to other animals. My dog should be okay, but my cat already thinks she is the superior person in the house. Gotta keep a watchful eye on her.
Perhaps the zoo could entertain the idea of worshipping the animals one at a time, and your cat could be enthroned as the supreme animal to watch over the City officials, who need suprervision by an intelligent animal. LOL
good idea booklover.
I think there is an Egyptian cat -goddess named Bast. Perhaps she could be posted as a false idol to worship in front of the 10 commandments.
That would break two commandments:
"Thou shalt have no other gods before me"
"Thou shalt not make unto thee any ungraven image."
Tony, bring forth the cat goddess! Let's blaspheme!
I say we all go to the zoo for a press conference, and we bring our animals/pets with us to protest, and we worship our pets in a tribute to denouncing the Citys offensive ignorance of the 1st Ammendment.
Now that is something I can get behind 100%. I'm in.
I accept Tony's cat as my new superior goddess. Praise unto thee.
Her name is Bobbi, she is a white, long haired Manx type cat (that little stub tail is cute). Eats when she feels like it, gets petted when she wants it, sleeps where and when she feels like it. Dang. She is incontrol. Rats, never saw it before. Well, she would be better to worship, I guess, since her demands are easily met, and she makes no promises she doesn't deliver on. :)
And god spelled backwards is... "dog".
She sound like a winner to me! And she is real.
It beats praying to an avatar.
As a displaced Bay Area native (Noe Valley), I want to thank you for this.
Why isn't the "monument" tagged beyond recognition?
These guys will fight to keep it no doubt:
Those guys have already posted my letter on their website, and have vowed to join the fight against the removal of the 10 comandos.
They are doing it to save the animals from hell, I guess.

3D printing is causing all types of hype in the science and engineering communities, and now artists are using the 3D printing craze to create new types of art.
Using 3D printing, artists are capable of replicating famous original pieces such as busts and sculptures. 3D printing is also capable of giving artists the option of putting their own twists and changes on ancient art works.
One of the most notable artists of today creating 3D printed art forms is Cosmo Wenman. Wenman travels to museums around the world and snaps hundreds of pictures of sculptures and busts. Using these pictures, along with an Autodesk program, Wenman is able to construct a 3D file that he can then send to his MakerBot 3D printer. The result is an exact replicate of the art work, on a much smaller scale. Furthermore, Wenman also plans on making all his files openly available on Makerbot's Thingverse.
Other than replicating old art forms, many people are also creating their own original work. One of the latest is the work of Benjamin Dillenburger and Michael Hansmeyer, called Digital Grotesque. Simply put, it involves printing an entire room out of sandstone. The room was inspired by the work of H.R. Giger, a Swiss artist who helped work on the effects in the movie Alien. Using some of the designs from his work, Dillenburger and Hansmeyer are using an algorithm that divides and repeats geometrical shapes. In turn, they have ended up with a design that is completely symmetrical and has the look of a temple from an alien world.
Other news that involves natural processes and 3D printing is the coming 4D printing. Inspired by molecular self-assembly, it is a process that is very common in biological structures. The 3D-printed materials are made to change shape and self-assemble, much like molecules do in biology. In fact, researchers at MIT have been working on programmable materials. The idea is to be able to print a material and over time the material will change its structure into some meaningful shape. The change can take place due to a movement or something such as an environmental factor. In theory, the application can have a big impact on construction or design. For example, astronauts would be able to easily assemble needed structures. In areas like the ocean or the top of a skyscraper, materials could be simply created. Previously, this may have been difficult or dangerous.
Embedding a "program" into a material does not involve writing software at all. Rather, the work at MIT is being done by creating materials that react to outside stimuli. Using this technique, materials can be printed, which, given the right circumstances, will change shape into anything they wish. Although the work is still in its infancy, it shows us how rapidly 3D printing is evolving. In addition, it should not come as a surprise that these latest developments have been inspired by natural processes. I believe we still have much to learn from the world around us.

Anthropology Department
Anthropology involves the study of present and past human culture and biology to better understand the human species. With diverse but overlapping subfields, including archaeological, biological, sociocultural, linguistic, and applied anthropology (including cultural resource management), anthropology spans the social, behavioral, and natural sciences as well as humanities, providing a strong core to a liberal arts education. Whether studying the diversity of marriage customs in human societies, anatomical changes in the foot during human evolution, biocultural factors contributing to chronic disease, cultural and biological changes surrounding the transition to agriculture, or the origins of language, anthropologists are united in trying to understand who we are, where we come from, and where we will go in the future.
As we face the many challenges of globalization in today's world, the knowledge we gain through the study of anthropology becomes increasingly important: studying past and present human biological and cultural variability to better understand the interactions among culturally, religiously, and politically diverse societies; preserving cultural resources for future generations; learning about the biological, political, and cultural factors responsible for the spread of diseases to mitigate effects of future outbreaks; applying the techniques of forensic anthropology to a mass graves to bring crimes against humanity to justice. An undergraduate degree in anthropology gives students a strong foundation for many different career paths that may or may not include the pursuit of an advanced degree.
The Four Corners Region provides an ideal location for anthropological experiences outside of the traditional classroom, some of which lead to paid employment both during and after degree completion. In archaeology, students will find opportunities to participate in local historical-period and prehistoric fieldwork and participate in volunteer work and internships at nationally renowned organizations like Mesa Verde National Park, Canyon of the Ancients, Crow Canyon Archaeological Center, The Anasazi Heritage Center, and Aztec Ruins National Monument. Fort Lewis College students have assisted with the analysis of human skeletal remains from archaeological sites in the Durango area and have also pursued advanced research projects using the skeletal collections at the Maxwell Museum in Albuquerque, New Mexico.
Students work in a variety of other internship settings in the vicinity of Fort Lewis College. For the past several years, anthropology, psychology, and sociology students have worked as field researchers and data analysts for the El Pomar-funded Regional Substance Abuse Prevention Project. Two students who have double majors in Anthropology and Gender/Women's Studies--Andrea Rossi and Whitney Manning--currently serve, respectively, as Events Coordinator for Durango's Sexual Assault Services Organization (SASO), and Crisis Services Coordinator for Alternative Horizons. Other organizations into which our students have recently been placed include Planned Parenthood, the Humane Society, and the Women's Resource Center.
Anthropology covers a variety of areas relevant to Native American peoples. Enrolling in Fort Lewis College's anthropology program is a start in looking at a career in tribal cultural resource management, language preservation, American Indian politics, and other fields of vital concern to American Indian peoples. Our curriculum offers courses that offer background information on the Native peoples across the continent (Mesoamerica, Andes) as well as the American Southwest. Some of our Native American anthropology graduates are currently working for their home tribes, such as Abraham Pedro (Cheyenne-Arapaho of Oklahoma), Elaine Cleveland (Navajo Nation), Suzanne Casey (Ute Mountain Ute), and Summer Johnson (Meskwaki of Iowa).

Asiana says jet partly to blame for SFO crash
Asiana Airlines conceded Monday that its pilots were flying a Boeing 777 too slowly in the seconds before the plane crashed last year at San Francisco International Airport, but said the aircraft's navigation equipment was partly to blame.
The South Korean airline said in a filing with the National Transportation Safety Board that the causes of the July 6 crash were "complex and interrelated." But it said the plane's navigation instruments had "led the crew to believe" the jet was maintaining enough speed for the aircraft to land safely.
Instead, the plane was flying too slowly as it came in for a landing and slammed into a seawall short of the runway. The crash left three young Chinese passengers dead, including one who apparently survived being ejected but was run over by two San Francisco fire rigs.
Boeing told federal investigators in a filing Monday that the plane's navigation equipment had been functioning normally and had not contributed to the crash. Boeing's chief engineer for air safety investigations, Michelle Bernson, blamed the crash on the "crew's failure to monitor and control airspeed, thrust level and glide path."
The federal safety board is investigating the cause of the crash and may issue safety recommendations. It hopes to complete its report before the crash's one-year anniversary.
In its filing, Asiana told investigators that something happened to the autopilot device when the plane was at 1,600 feet and headed to a safe landing. "For an unknown reason," the autopilot issued an order that commanded the plane to climb to 3,000 feet, the airline said.
Two of the three pilots in the cockpit said they did not remember pressing a button that would prompt the navigation computer to change the plane's approach, Asiana said.
In its filing with the safety board, Boeing said the third pilot in the cockpit said it was possible he had pushed the button. Boeing contends that the cockpit's voice recorder captured the sound of the button being pressed as the plane reached the 1,600-foot level.
Three seconds after the button was activated, the pilot flying the plane, Lee Kang Kuk, shut off the autopilot and told the crew he was going to land manually. He reduced the plane's speed to counteract the autopilot's commands to raise the plane's altitude, Asiana said.
When Lee shut off the autopilot, he expected the jet's auto-throttle device to maintain a safe speed, Asiana said. But the auto throttle "surprisingly" shut down in the process, and no alarm sounded right away in the cockpit, the airline said.
With its speed dropping, the aircraft descended too quickly and came up short of the runway. The warning alarm eventually went off, 11 seconds before impact, but that was too late for the pilots to pull the plane out of its descent, Asiana said.
The Federal Aviation Administration urged Boeing in 2010 to install software on its auto-throttle devices that would cause them to reactivate automatically in the event of a sudden loss of speed, but the manufacturer has not done so, Asiana said.
The agency made the recommendation after an incident on a newer model Boeing 787 in which a pilot discovered problems similar to those on the flight that crashed at SFO, Asiana's report said.
Boeing responded that the Asiana crew had ignored many obvious warning signs well before the cockpit alarm went off and should have been able to avoid a crash.

Arizona Women's Basketball Media Day
Oct. 16, 2003
Arizona Women's Basketball
2003-04 Media Day
Head Coach Joan Bonvicini Quotes
Opening comments --
'I think the thing about this team is that we are very hungry. We wanted to get back into the NCAA tournament, and we achieved that. We were disappointed in the outcome; we felt like we were better than that. That's no disrespect to Notre Dame or any of the other teams...
'We feel like we have something to prove this year. I like the chemistry of the team. I like the experience coming back, and I like knowing that we're still pretty young.
'I think there are a number of question marks right now. The biggest one is who will play alongside Polkey (Shawntinice Polk) and take Krista Warren's spot. I think that there are a number of people who could do that. It could be by committee, it could be a freshman, it could be a returning player.
'The second question mark is whether Natalie Jones is ready to step up as a starter and be consistent. We'll see. I think she will have the opportunity, or it will be one of the younger players.
'The third thing, which I believe is really critical, is that we need to have really good contribution from our bench, and be consistent. The way to start all of this is to have great practices. We are going to find out right away which players are ready to show from the get-go that they're ready to play, and I know they have worked very hard in the off-season.
'Our freshmen were here for five weeks over the summer and took two classes, and they were able to work out. I just want to say we have some smart freshman. All of them are at a 4.0 right now. These kids work hard. They have high expectations for themselves.
'We are cautiously optimistic. This season is a marathon, not a sprint. We are going to be tested from the very beginning, so it is important that we get out on a positive note and do that in practice.'
Question-and-Answer --
Do you think the biggest goal this year is finding someone to complement Polkey?
'I don't know if that's the biggest thing, but I think that it is an important ingredient. I think it is important that we have someone. We don't have a real slasher. We have some good talent. It is early. We are going to have some opportunities to see who is ready to step up. We have people who work very hard. Shannon Hobson is pretty good.'
What has changed since last year?
'Things have changed offensively. We are going with more of a triangle offense. We know Polkey is going to get double-, maybe triple-, teamed. She is a very good passer. It is going to give her more of an opportunity to get the ball. I think it would be tougher for people to double-team her. It will also create more movement not only on the strong side but also on the weak side.'
How much did last year's experience affect the team?
'It definitely helped; the players got a taste of NCAAs. They were obviously disappointed we didn't do better. They want to go back, and we feel like we have something to prove, but that is the end. You have to do all the things between now and March, and the season is long before you get to that point. We have an awfully difficult schedule, by design. I have never been shy about playing a good team.'
'I think we know Polkey is going to get a lot of attention. We have a lot of good players alongside her. It will give other players opportunity to play with her. The difference between a good player and a great player is that a great player will make those around her better, and Polkey does that. She is unselfish. She wants so much attention for her team. When she steps on the floor, the only thing she cares about is the team winning. She does not care how we get there, she just wants the team to win. The other thing is practicing against her everyday. I've really talked to her about raising the bar and letting others play to her level. The level of improvement is amazing; she has improved tremendously. '
'Polkey has also matured (from a year ago). She is still very much a team player. Her experience this summer with Team USA and her experience over the course of the last year have all contributed. I think she has improved tremendously. I think all those things have helped the team mature and grow. She has a lot of expectations for herself, and those are good things. I don't think she thinks about those things selfishly -- all she does is care about the team.'
' Dee-Dee Wheeler is a great player in her own right. I think she gets overlooked a little bit because of Polkey. They are a tremendous inside-outside combination, maybe one of the best in the Pac-10, if not one of the best in the country. We've got a legit player inside who is able to make, with Dee-Dee, great passes. It is pretty exciting.'
What's the team's strong suit?
'We have a legitimate great player on the inside and two very experienced guards in the backcourt with Dee-Dee and Aimee Grzyb, who are good shooters. We have a very quick team. We're good athletically, we're a good rebounding team and a good shooting team.'
'If we want to win games, we have to play defense and we have to rebound. One of the things we have to do better is make our free throws. We have to be a better free throw shooting team. We have to be better in the clutch. A lot of that comes with leadership and experience. Having Dee-Dee and Aimee a year older I think will help.'
