Maltese, can you write in Japanese, or did find those two avatars somewwhere.
Eric, there was another Fett site that just closed down because the owner was going into service that has a Fett poncho draft.
And here it is.
http://www.bobafettmp.com/multimedia/im … ept-18.jpg
http://www.bobafettmp.com/multimedia/im … ept-19.jpg
I can write a little bit in Japanese but I just found these on a spanish site-yea I'm not sure that makes any more sense-
Hey Maltese! I can kinda see a girls face in your avatar! Its in Boba's visor.
Oh yea! Wierd. Now that I think about it, it's part of Vader's Helmet reflecting.
no.....it cant be. bUT THATS WEIRD!!
No, it's like the very side of Vader's helmet. You can see the eye and the edge of his helmet really clearly.
If Arc Fett gets round to reading this, the Avatar Chibi is great.
Ohh, I guess I can see how that could be Vader. BUT IT STILL LOOKS LIKE A GIRL TO ME!!
That poncho is silly
I remember reading about early days speculations when George wanted to spread the rumor about Fett actually being a woman
At least they didn't keep the white armor...
Yeah, that kinda looks stupid. Kinda like my avatar!!
How Can Fett be a women with a voice like that? Thats STUPID!!!
voice synthesizer?
At least they didn't keep the white armor...
I kind of liked the white armor. He was originally supposed to be an Imperial Bounty Hunter. I still hope they come out with a figure of this, like they did with the Ralph McQuarrie Concept Stormtrooper figure.
I do not really like the Clint Eastwood-esque armor, but I like the concept scetches.
He was originally supposed to be an Imperial Bounty Hunter .
Wow, thats actually a great idea!! But Boba wouldnt fit the part. He works for anyone anywhere, not just the empire.
The Boba that we know would not fit the part, but if he was an Imperial bounty hunter, he would not have the exact same personality.
Exactly what I was saying.
Well, here it is, talk about anything you want collectively that doesn't seem to go anywhere else. Qui-gon's chin, or whatever.
This will also count for "Hey, you're inbox is filled up! Clean It OUT!"
Keep it tasteful, and of course no spamming or flaming. By the way, that bit about the cow is mainly to catch people's attention, although it is getting up there in degrees this summer.
OMG its saposed to be 90 degrees by monday!
BUt....My parents just bought me, my brother, and my sister a POOL!!! Its 15 feet acrost, and 3 1/2 feet deep! Its so cool.
Its going to be freezing.
Where did the rain go? It was so peacefully wet just a week ago...curse you unpredicable Washington weather.
3 1/2 feet deep? Thats...pretty shallow. Don't dive into it or anything.
I'm back from Utah. I am sunburnt to a crisp (my first time since 2001), and I weep for the loss of my pale white skin. Earlier I could barely move my arms without them hurting. And my nose is all wrinkly-red. I had fun. I'll say more details later. Tomorrow I'll have my pictures up and coded into a webpage. I have about 130 of them but I might delete a few. Some of them I only kept cause I wasn't sure which of two were the better one. And my brother, dad, and mom have pictures too, but I won't wait for them to send them to me, I'll just update the page later on. I am also extremely tired, the most sleep I got at one stretch was 7 hours. I didn't have time to really go through everything and reply to stuff though I did start. I'm going to bed and I'll catch up on everything tomorrow.
...btw, when the part in your hair is sunburnt, washing and brushing your hair is hell.... ow...
Oh yes, I got a sunburned scalp in San Diego, a few years back. Not fun at all.
But hey, Miba! At least you didn't get sun poisoning! THAT is very very very miserable!
Sun poisoning?!What the *ell is that?!
I think it is when you stay in the sun too long, and you get blisters and get sick.
Happened to someone on my school band trip...you get really, really sick, vomiting and crud and feel horrible. It's not pleasant, so always remember to WEAR SUNSCREEN.
I thought I could handle the sun...in Mexico...that was a mistake. Don't ever think you can just tough it out...I've seen dark-skinned guys with the tops of their ears burned pink and white...Sun=bad.
(That's what makes Washington the best place in the world.
That's why INSIDE A BUILDING is the best place to be.
I am glad I didn't get sun poisening then. I did feel a bit sickish but that might have been the car and not the sun. (I get carsick easily)
And I agree, being inside is the best thing. I want to be outside every once in a while but not often. My mom calls my house a cave. She can't stand it that I cover my windows. In her house she has a million windows that she opens every morning. eee...

CLEARWATER, Fla. - In the fourth inning of the first exhibition game of spring training, Florida State's Devon Travis hit a ball deep into the hole at shortstop. Phillies prospect and defensive wiz Freddy Galvis, who had just entered the game, broke to his right, handled the ball and fired a one-hopper to first base.
Before last season, John Mayberry Jr. hadn't played more than five games at first base since he was a student at Stanford University in 2005. Coincidentally, that was also the last year Jim Thome played first base regularly.
But on Wednesday, in the first game the Phillies played since Ryan Howard collapsed to the ground with a completely torn left Achilles in October, Mayberry picked the throw without issue. Charlie Manuel and Co. can only hope the transition to life without Howard will continue with the same ease.
Prior to taking the field in the first exhibition of the spring schedule, the Phillies announced that Howard would be inactive for at least a few days as he recovers from an infection.
Howard left camp Sunday night to visit with Mark Myerson, the surgeon who performed the Achilles surgery Oct. 12, on Monday in Baltimore. During the exam, Myerson cleaned out an infection around the sutures in Howard's surgically repaired Achilles tendon.
Sheridan had both good news and bad news with his Howard update. The good: the Achilles remains 'intact and was not compromised' after Monday's procedure to remove the infection.
'That was our biggest concern going into this and that was one of the things during the procedure that (Myerson) did confirm, the Achilles tendon is intact and not compromised,' Sheridan said. 'I don't think any time you have an infection it's good news, but from the standpoint of the things that could happen and didn't happen, we're pleased.'
The bad news? When posed with the question of whether Howard's rehab will be slowed by 'days or weeks,' Sheridan didn't have a definitive answer.
'I truly don't know the answer,' said Sheridan, who added that he would be consulting with Myerson in the coming days to get a better handle on how it will affect the rehab.
Howard was placed on antibiotics following Monday's procedure. It's likely he will be limited from physical activities in the next week as the most recent incision heals.
'It will just be like a new wound, so we're going to have to protect that healing area,' Sheridan said. 'So they'll be some days where we just need to make sure that it continues to heal, that we don't set ourselves up for any more problems down the line.'
Howard's latest media update came a week after he spoke optimistically to reporters in a press conference the day before position players were scheduled to report to camp. Before official workouts began last week, Howard had begun light baseball activities - taking ground balls, batting practice and participating in light running drills.
On Saturday, when word of Howard's infection first spread, he took part in a regular batting practice session with Jim Thome and Domonic Brown. Howard even hit a few balls over the fence during the trio's power display.
How much his current issue sets the rehab back is unknown.
'I don't prefer to use that word,' Sheridan said of a setback. 'I know that's what everyone wants to use. We never established a particular timeframe for him and right now, its one of those things that happens in the rehab process and we have to move forward from it.'
'We'll see where he's at,' manager Charlie Manuel said. 'I've always said it's a reach for him to open the season, and actually, that's where it's at.'
Howard isn't the only player in the Phillies clubhouse who has undergone surgery for a torn Achilles. Veteran infielder Kevin Frandsen, who is competing for a roster spot, called the recovery 'long and tedious.'
'You get to that point where you think you're great, you think you're going to be able to conquer everything, and then you get out there and hit a little wall,' said Frandsen, who suffered the injury in spring training four years ago while with the San Francisco Giants.
Frandsen came back to play the final game of the 2008 season, but did so without any setbacks during his rehab. But, according to Sheridan, the rehab from Achilles surgery doesn't always travel on a straight line to recovery.
'I don't know whether it's common for an infection to occur, but I do know the area is a tough area to heal,' Sheridan said. 'Some times it becomes challenging for that area to heal.'
Howard was scheduled to return to camp Wednesday, but was not available to the media.

A Figural Indian, Silver Cane. France ? circa 1890
The crook handle is 9 cm high x 25 cm to the side x 3 cm wide. It is beautifully fashioned in the form of an American Indian with long earrings, a scarf and a head band with diamonds, oval stones and very long feathers. It is on top of a Rosewood shaft, there is a bimetal ferule. The O.L is 90 cm. Without chips or cracks, it has minimal traces of use and the condition is perfect.
It is or Viennese or French? Nevertheless is a wonderful ethnographic figural portrait that deserves to be identified, made during their American Indian craze of the 1890's. This cane has a very dynamic design, it fits perfect, it is a very wearable cane.
Indigenous people over the whole world have the privilege to have the strongest contact with Mother Nature, the mother of wisdom.

The name 'limacon' comes from the Latin limax meaning 'a snail'. Étienne Pascal corresponded with Mersenne whose house was a meeting place for famous geometers including Roberval.
Dürer should really be given the credit for discovering the curve since he gave a method for drawing the limacon, although he did not call it a limacon, in Underweysung der Messungpublished in 1525.
When b = 2a then the limacon becomes a cardioid while if b = a then it becomes a trisectrix. Notice that this trisectrix is not the Trisectrix of Maclaurin.
If b ≥ 2a then the area of the limacon is (2a2 + k2)π. If b = a (the case drawn above with a = b = 1) then the area of the inner loop is a2(π - 3√3/2) and the area between the loops is a2(π + 3√3).
The limacon is an anallagmatic curve.
The limacon is also the catacaustic of a circle when the light rays come from a point a finite (non-zero) distance from the circumference. This was shown by Thomas de St Laurent in 1826.

My adult conversion to Catholicism came about through many converging spiritual streams, but one of the things I remember that had perhaps, the biggest positive impact, was my introduction to the Papal Social Encyclicals. I was immediately impressed by the non-ideological, Biblically-consistent worldview expressed by the Catholic Magisterium. As my initial conversion led to graduate Theological studies, teaching in Catholic high schools around the world, and a run for Florida State House; I have remained an ardent admirer of the Social Doctrine of the Church.
It is one of my lifetime goals to find ways to promote the social teachings of our Catholic Magisterium, and to find practical ways to cultivate Catholic political leaders who are similarly dedicated to the work of building civilizations of love founded upon the principles of our complete corpus of social doctrine teachings. As a candidate I discovered that most parishes are ill-equipped to nurture future Catholic leaders or even assist in the process of educating and informing the laity of how they can better influence elections on the basis of the many important moral issues (which have specific Magisterial guidance). It is great to pray for Christian Justice in our world, and it is necessary to take up the responsibility of voting when given that opportunity. But grace builds upon nature, and there is so much more that we could be doing as Catholics to better organize ourselves to have more positive collective impact on our communities and American society.
I urge that we work on two fronts simultaneously-1. Educating the Catholic laity to the Catholic social teachings and the guidance given by our Pope and Bishops' 2. Use our religious freedoms more effectively at the parish level. I often make use of the story of William Wilberforce, a Christian politician who fought tirelessly to stop the slave trade in Great Britain- he was eventually successful utilizing organizational tools which we could use today (as the Civil Rights Movement here in America demonstrated). I hope my practical advice will be of some use for all those interested in maximizing our public Catholic witness in the social (temporal) realm.
Here are some specific practical proposals:
1. Every parish should organize "Social Doctrine Nights" where specific issues are discussed in the context of the social doctrine, as taught in official sources like Papal Encyclicals, the Compendium of Social Doctrine, the Catechism, US Bishop Pastoral Letters, and so forth. The parish priest should be front and center publicizing the Nights from the pulpit and being present for the meetings to put teeth into the promotion.
2. It would also be good if every parish started a "Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church book club". This would help to locate a core group of lay persons who are truly interested in fulfilling their responsibility to the Temporal Order, to reform the world according to Christ's teachings and will, as revealed by our Church's authoritative documents. These hardy souls will go far in sharing their knowledge on those Social Doctrine Nights. At the least, we will give the laity many chances to inform their consciences on public policy matters.
3. As the election cycle nears, every parish should start scheduling town hall meetings and Candidate Forum events. Political candidates should be held accountable before the election takes place. They need to go on record with their thoughts on the issues that our parishioners deem important. The only requirement for such forums is that all candidates are invited with no
obvious bias during the event. Town hall meetings should be convened on singular issues of great importance, and local leaders and potential leaders should be invited to participate or attend.
4. Documents from the U.S. Bishops' Conferences should be distributed widely in every parish. These documents can easily be inserted into every Sunday Bulletin.
5. Questionnaires for candidates from Catholic Conferences and reputable Catholic Pro-Life organizations should be distributed with information on the issues providing the reader with a clear idea of what the official Church is advising/teaching on the political issue being raised. These questionnaire results should be widely distributed well in advance of the actual Election Day.
6. Potential Catholic political leaders need to be groomed and supported by the Church by all legal means. We cannot be hamstrung by laws that seem bent on keeping an artificial (and false) wall of separation between Church and State. Both the Church and State have particular functions in society, they are not the same, but they are not to be pitted against one another. One way to cope with the reality here, in the United States, is to help private Catholic action groups and organizations, to form apart from the official dioceses and Catholic conferences. These private Catholic organizations could form PACS and contribute directly to Catholic individuals who are seeking to serve the common good first and foremost. They should be committed to serving the official Church social doctrine.
7. Catholic schools should also do more to promote the social doctrine among the youth. I once organized a debate for all congressional candidates in the Catholic high school where I was teaching. The students wrote the questions and had a chance to mingle with the candidates afterwards. It was the only such debate for those candidates in the entire election cycle and many students were positively impacted by the experience. Another area of improvement would be in the development of textbooks with a Catholic perspective, and that covered such areas as Literature, History, Media, Social Studies and so forth. The Catholic worldview and social doctrine have been confined to religion classes, and this has contributed to the compartmentalization of Catholic understanding and expression. Catholic students, with rare exceptions, are not graduating and moving the public debate beyond the narrow partisan/ideological confines of Political Left/Right.
I offer these suggestions because I believe that, as Catholics, we have the blueprint for building a civilization of love at every level of human society. The blueprint is our social doctrine and the gift of our Magisterium in guiding the principles and teachings of Christ into our complex world. As a candidate for public office I discovered a huge void in our Catholic parishes for offering a
place of contact between budding political leaders and the Catholic laity. Nurturing orthodox Catholics to become political leaders in our society is something that also seems missing from the average parish. Having a unique Blueprint (our Social Doctrine) but not having sound organization to carry out the plan is a terrible waste of potential. It is time to go from the drawing phase to building and implementing- to make visible this civilization of love our beloved popes write about with such strong conviction. This is our potential, this is an essential part of our Catholic evangelization. There are a lot of Catholic groups and organizations who lobby politicians after the fact of their election, but we should be intervening in the process from the beginning- nurturing leaders, educating every generation of voter, and providing candidate forums and town hall meetings in our churches (all perfectly legal!).
Once again, these strategies involve the following precepts:
– social doctrine promotion
– town hall meetings
– candidate forums
– encouragement of private Catholic PACS
– Catholic youth mentoring
Pope John Paul II insisted that was necessary for Catholics "to seek the Kingdom of God in dealing with temporal realities and in ordering them in accordance with the divine will." And he urged us to be courageous in giving witness to our faith in the public arena.
Quoting from "Lumen Gentium", No.36, Pope John Paul II said that lay men and women, after receiving a sound catechesis and continuing formation, have a clear mission "to extend the Kingdom of God in and through their secular activity, so that 'the world will be imbued with the Spirit of Christ and more effectively attain its purpose in justice, in love and in peace" (No.3). Hence, the faithful need to receive clear instructions on their duties as Christians, and on their obligation to act in accordance with the Church's authoritative teachings, the Pope added. And to those who object that such instruction has overly political tones John Paul II stated clearly: "While fully respecting the legitimate separation of Church and state in American life, such a catechesis must also make clear that for the faithful Christian there can be no separation between the faith which is to be believed and put into practice and a commitment to full and responsible participation in professional, political and cultural life" (No.3).

text: It was a fluke. Six degrees of separation, really: my college boyfriend's soccer coach's wife's niece was dating a really nice guy who was a chef, and he had made them a delicious Greek salad for dinner one night. I was in school at the CIA, looking for an externship. They suggested I call him, since he had just opened his own restaurant and might want the extra help. I thought it couldn't hurt to talk to the guy; he had worked at Erwin, one of my favorite restaurants, and if nothing else he could help me get an interview there. So I picked up the phone, called the restaurant, name-dropped the girlfriend's aunt to get him to the phone, then talked with Paul Kahan until we decided that I would do my externship at the small restaurant he had just opened, called Blackbird.

Chris, you have officialy scared me. Almost out of doing it.. but just almost.
On another note, looks like I came back here just in time. I've been meaning to get back into coding and came back to this site hoping that being here would help keep me on track or at least motivate me a bit. Even better, you've given me a track to stay on. My problem -and why I even became interested in computers- it that no one thing.. language keeps my interest long enough to be able to really make use of it (though have managed to stay with C++ consistantly). I spend a lot of time reading about different langaunges and all, I'm just lacking experience in actualy using any of it. This sounds like the perfect thing to ease me out of that habbit, will still keeping me interested with something new.
Also, I agree with cmh0114, at least for languages where its more diffcult to find a decent one.

(Carlisle, Pa.) - For the first time since 2003, the Conestoga Wagon will reside in Lancaster as Franklin & Marshall came out on top of a see-saw battle at Dickinson. Under the lights of Biddle Field, the Diplomats posted a 35-26 win in Centennial Conference football action on Friday night.
The Red Devils forced a fumble on F&M's first possession but missed a field-goal to give the ball back to the Diplomats on the 20-yard line. Junior quarterback John Harrison (Flourtown, Pa./La Salle College) finished an 80-yard drive with a three-yard pass to Jay Ridinger (Lititz, Pa./Manheim Twp) to put the Diplomats on the board.
Dickinson answered early in the second quarter on a 29-yard pass from Ricky Martz (Pottsgrove, Pa./Pottsgrove) to senior Nick Baller (Maple Plain, Minn./Orono) in the back corner of the end-zone.
The Devils forced a punt and senior Craig Helfer (W. Caldwell, N.J./Newark Academy) broke free, scoring from 24 yards out on a pass from Martz to put the Devils in front 14-7.
F&M answered with a nine-play, 60-yard drive that ended with junior John Kashak (Lake Hoptacong, N.J./Jefferson Twp.) finding pay-dirt on a one-yard dive with 1:20 to play in the half.
The Devils weren't quite done yet. Martz put the Devils in range and senior Gordon Craig (Grove City, Pa./Grove City) kicked a 40-yard field-goal to give Dickinson a 17-14 edge as time expired in the first half.
Craig would strike again on the Devils' first possession, this time from a career-long 47 yards, stretching the lead to 20-14 with 11:19 remaining in the third quarter.
Harrison capped a 71-yard drive with an 18-yard strike to Jarrell Diggs (Baltimore, Md./Gilman) on the next possession. He added another TD pass on a 75-yard drive, this time to Michael Deutch (Sussex, N.J./Vernon), to put F&M in front 28-20 with 12:19 to play in the game.
Penalties plagued the Devils on their next possession, forcing them to punt with just under eight minutes on the clock. Nine plays later Kashak would cross the end-line to give the Diplomats a 35-20 lead with just 3:33 remaining.
Martz completed 6-of-8 passes, orchestrating a beautiful drive, hitting Cam Di Fede (Miami, Fla./Palmer Trinity) in the endzone to cut the deficit to 35-26. Junior C.T. Marsh (Phoenix, Md./Loyoal-Blakefield) blocked the extra-point, keeping F&M in front by nine with just 1:46 to play.
The Devils tried an on-side kick, but it was covered by Ridinger and the Diplomats were able to run out the clock and hold on for the win.
Martz finished 17-for-30, passing for 243 yards and three touchdowns. Helfer caught five passes for 90 yards on the night.
Defensively, Andrew Fink (Schuylkill Haven, Pa./Schulykill Haven) led the Red Devils with a game-high 12 tackles while Julian Rosen (Brecksville, Ohio/University School) added 10 stops on the night. Josh Harrison (Forest Hill, Md./Milton Wright) tallied seven tackles and recovered a fumble.
The Devils sacked Harrison three times on the night, but the junior turned in a strong performance, completing 22-of-26 passes for 215 yards and three scores. Diggs finished with eight catches for game-high 92 yards and Kaschak rushed for 129 yards and two TDs on 24 carries.
The Red Devils slip to 0-2 on the season and 0-1 in the Centennial Conference. They travel to McDaniel College next Saturday for a 1:00 pm kick-off.

A review of Apple TV's Truth Be Told with Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul.
You have to hand it to "Pitch Perfect." It's a twentysomething song-and-dance movie built around rival a cappella groups. That's more exciting than dueling string quartets, I suppose — but no, the quartets would be performing better material. In the world of this film's Barden College, a cappella seems to rank above football in extracurricular activities, and as nearly as I recall, the only character ever seen in a classroom is Beca's father, the teacher.
He teaches philosophy and despairs of his daughter Beca (Anna Kendrick), who dreams of moving to L.A. and making it in show business. He makes a deal: She sticks out college for one year, and then she can go to L.A. if she still wants to. Oh, and she must join at least one afterschool activity.
This is some school. On Activity Day, a male a cappella group poses carefully on the campus and bursts periodically into song. There is also a female group, the Bellas, although they're under a cloud after their lead singer suffered an unfortunate attack of vomiting in the national finals. And not just ordinary vomiting, but Movie Projectile Vomiting, which in its velocity and gallons of content resembles an attack by an alien.
Beca is recruited into the Bellas by its star, Chloe (Brittany Snow), while they are both naked in a shower, which makes this more intriguing than your average a cappella recruitment. Well, at least it's an afterschool activity. Soon she finds herself up against Aubrey (Anna Camp), the group leader who has rigid opinions about their performances.
Another new recruit is Fat Amy (Rebel Wilson), who explains she calls herself that because she knows that's what people call her behind her back. Rebel (her real name) plays a character so ebullient, unstoppable and raucous that she steals every scene she's in and passes the Character Name Test. This refers to our ability to remember the names of a movie character for more than 10 minutes after the movie has ended. Fat Amy, I will remember. Can you, even at this point in the review, recall who Chloe is?
The plot interlinks the Bellas' progress toward the national finals in New York City's Lincoln Center with a sorta romance between Beca and Jesse (Skylar Astin), a DJ for the campus radio station; much in their relationship depends on his belief that "The Breakfast Club" has the greatest single final scene in the history of the cinema. Beca doesn't share his enthusiasm for the John Hughes movie, even though she's in a movie that would dearly love to be by Hughes, who would find more fraught material than Beca's kitchen table conversations with her dad about why he divorced her mom — a plot thread that leads nowhere.
Strange supporting roles are played by John Michael Higgins and Elizabeth Banks, as a team of commentators who function somewhere between play-by-play announcers and the judges on "American Idol." The Higgins performance owes more than a little to Fred Willard's unforgettable dog show commentary in "Best in Show," but it was clear that Willard was part of a telecast. The Higgins and Banks characters look like they're sitting behind a desk in the audience and just ... what? Broadcasting? Talking out loud?
Another inexplicable character is Lilly (Hana Mae Lee), a shy Asian girl who cannot sing or even speak loudly enough for anyone to hear her. How did she survive her audition?
Still, Anna Kendrick is adorable, a young version of the angelic Marisa Tomei. And it must be said that the Bellas are a first-rate group, with choreography so crisp that Bob Fosse couldn't have drilled them to move more precisely. You may be reminded of a Broadway musical. Certainly the choreography is way over the top of other championship a cappella teams on You Tube. And if I mistake not, the soundtrack sneaks in some percussion and other stray sounds that might get the Bellas outlawed in a real a cappella competition.

Is there a way to find out what is trying to mount this file?
Jul 13 14:27:24 myhost automount[13527]: lookup(file): lookup for tmp_dir failed
Something is looking for "tmp_dir", and I've grepped a bunch of places but cannot find what script, program, etc... is looking for the file/dir and is causing automount to try and mount it up.
I see there are entries in /proc/mounts for tmp_dir, but looks like I cannot remove them since /proc/mounts is read-only (probably for good reason). Thoughts?
For a little background, we recently took down a file share that was called tmp_dir, and I think a programmer still has something pointing to tmp_dir, but he claims he cleaned everything up. I'm thinking maybe we did not umount tmp_dir properly before taking down the share, and autofs is still attempting to load it. The OS is SLES 11 SP1.

He completed post-doctoral work at Harvard University and at the Francis Bitter National Magnet Laboratory at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and joined the Clark faculty in 1991. He chairs the 3/2 Engineering Program Committee.
Professor Agosta is CEO of MachFlow Energy Inc., and received a grant of $1 million from the Department of Energy.
Current Research and Teaching
Professor Agosta is a low temperature experimental physicist who was originally trained to study the properties of fluids at very low temperatures. His present research interests are lower dimensional superconductors in very high magnetic fields and heat transfer in gas boundary layers.
Given his deep interest in complicated instrumentation, he and his students have developed a pulsed magnetic field laboratory where experiments are performed in one of the highest magnetic fields (51 tesla!) available at any university in the United States. His group studies anisotropic conducting materials at the extremes of parameter space, including temperature, pressure, and magnetic field to understand the relation of their chemical properties to correlated electron properties such as superconductivity, spin density waves, charge density waves, and the quantum Hall effect. Most of his measurements are made with an rf penetration depth technique developed in his laboratory and particularly well suited to the extreme conditions created in his laboratory. At his laboratory he can increase the magnetic field much above the level necessary to quench the superconducting or other correlated electron state to observe quantum oscillations and probe the Fermi surface. In this way, he can explore the fundamental properties of the charge carriers and test current theories of correlated electrons.
Professor Agosta is also CEO and co-founder of Machflow Energy, Inc., a clean-tech company that is developing highly innovative heat transfer technologies revolutionizing air conditioning and thermal management. They have created a disruptive Bernoulli Principle-based heat pump that works in a closed cycle using noble gasses that have no adverse effects on the environment, such as global warming, and avoids high pressures and the weight of the associated compressors. Machflow is funded by Kleiner Perkins and prominent angel investors.
Professor Agosta has been granted four patents for his work at Machflow Energy.
He teaches many of the core courses in the Physics Dept., but specializes in two signature courses, Electronics and The Technology of Renewable Energy. His renewable energy course is focusing on the technical and social issues of converting part of the campus to a dc microgrid, and leveraging the cogeneration plant on campus and future renewable energy sources.

I've been trying to install this program for hours... and it still doesn't seem to work. Every tutorial I find assume that you are extremely knowledgeable of how to work eclipses' interface and all of these other things... despite them being beginners tutorials...
Well my issue is that whenever I try to run the simple Hello World script in Eclipse I get the error:
"Launch Failed: Binary not found"
Code:#include <iostream> using namespace std; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { cout << "Hello World" << endl; return 0; }// end main
I did everything the tutorials I did find said to do:
+ I installed Eclipse 3.4.2 (ganymede)
+ I added MinGW\bin to PATH
+ I made sure that the CDT plugin was installed
+ I installed MSYS\bin 1.0
Is there something I'm doing wrong here?
I haven't even began to learn to program w/ c++ yet because I can never get the IDE to work.
+ I've also tried building the project before I run it... that doesn't help either...
and most of the time the progress for the building doesn't appear.

What do ye Knick faithful predict our players stat lines will be this upcoming season?
PTS/REB/ASS - feel free to add blocks/steals/FG%

Melo - 25/6/4
Chandler - 11/10/1

Personalized Flu Vaccines to Get Today
Winter may seem far off but doctors and public health officials say it's never too early to get the flu shot. This year there are more flu vaccine options than ever before depending on one's age and health. Emily Nelson reports on Lunch Break. Photo: Getty Images.

The world is a confusing place, so let Professor GIF explain the most befuddling topics through the magic of animated GIFs.
IN THIS ISSUE: 3 easy facts and 15 hilarious GIFs explaining how TV ratings "work".
Fact #1: The TV ratings system "works" because everyone in a position of power has agreed to pretend that it works.
Super Bowl Sunday was a huge hit. Two semi-popular teams playing football, with a bizarre 34-minute blackout in the middle, still racked up the third-largest TV audience in American history (108.4 million people) and the largest television audience ever recorded if you count people who watched all or part of the game (164.1 million people). Those are ridiculous numbers, but remember, the Super Bowl is more than just a TV broadcast.
Since the Super Bowl has the highest TV rating, it can charge the highest prices for commercial airtime. This year the price tag was up to $4 million per 30 seconds. Potential problem? Those TV ratings that make the Super Bowl #1, and determine whether other shows are succeeding or failing, operate on an outmoded dinosaur of a system.
Nielsen ratings are based on the viewing habits of a sample of around 20,000 homes. They measure this with "People Meter" technology in each house. They've depended on this measurement system for 25 years now, and it's just an update of the longtime previous system of "keep a diary and be unashamedly honest with us."
Nielsen ratings don't measure every TV, because the costs would be prohibitive. Their goal is to measure viewership well enough to determine what ads should cost for different programs, and nothing more. They're also doing this even though DVRs let you skip ads, and then measuring that DVR viewership even though, again, DVRs let you skip ads. And don't forget the countable but less-profitable audience that's watching shows on computers and phones, and then the zero-profit people who are using tech to steal shows and pay no one.
Ratings numbers are only becoming less relevant, but they're also the only way networks know how to measure things. In the words of a top NBC executive:
Ratings determine ad dollars, and ad dollars determine which shows are profitable, so the force of everyone agreeing ratings are still the system of TV measurement is all that's backing how television's business model works. It's now based on a sort of gentlemen's agreement between old people to pretend we all still live in the old days, and they do NOT want to be told that's absurd.
A TV business model based on Nielsen ratings should totally collapse, right? Well let's try a thought experiment:
We can't possibly run a real-life democracy like that, right?
Nielsen ratings are the ridiculous antique system that runs TV, just like the Electoral College is the ridiculous antique system that runs America, because people would rather limp along with what we've got than change everything. And if ratings are the only game in town, they must be the reason [your favorite show] got cancelled, right?

I'm using AmigaOne G3 SE with sii Pata card (sii0680ide.device) with a 160 Gb hd and a dvdrw drive connected.
After experimenting with dma modes in Uboot, my system boot partition won't boot anymore and it has become unvalidated.
I'm using FFS2 with long filenames.
I didn't manage to fix the problem by booting from os 4.1FE or os 4.1F cds, I get plenty of "volume x has a read write error on block y" requesters and have been busy clicking them away.
After a reasonably long struggle, I managed to boot from os 4.1F cd and launch Partitionwizard, but I can't give it the right device to work with and it sees no partitions. However, the hard drive partitions icons do show up on the desktop screen, but practically can't be accessed.
I wonder if some kind of rescue/repair cd/disk solution does exist..
