Looking for a faster flash drive? Kangaru has the answer
File transfer speed is always the name of the game and transferring files onto a faster flash drive is no exception. That's where the Kanguru e-Flash drive really shines.
The e-Flash drive is unique in that it has a USB connection on one end and an e-SATA connection on the other. In tests the e-SATA transferred a 1 GB file from the flash drive to a notebook hard drive in about 13 seconds and back to the flash drive in about 27 seconds.
The USB was quite a bit slower than the e-SATA side but still fast for a USB flash drive. The same test took about 31 seconds to transfer to the notebook and 61 seconds to send it back. Pretty good for a USB flash drive.
The e-Flash drive comes in 16 Gb and 32 Gb sizes. That's enough disk space documents, photos and some videos for most people.
The e-Flash kit comes with a bracket to mount the drive to your desktop computer in an expansion slot. A cable is included to plug into your motherboard from the bracket. Extra brackets and cables are available so that you can mount the drive in all of your desktop machines. There is also an ExpressCard available for mounting the drive to your notebook.
All in all a nice package. The e-Flash 32Gb sells for $59.95 and the 64Gb for $119.95. If you're looking for that extra speed from a flash drive this is definitely the way to go. Read more about this drive on the Kangaru web site.
What is astronaut training like? Find out on Twitter
NASA astronaut Mike Massimino is recording his training for the fifth and final Atlantis mission on Twitter generating a lifetime written document for himself and others.
It's very possible that your favorite (or the one that you despise the most) government agency twitters. As I wrote in a previous post the GSA has worked out terms and conditions with many new media sites so that government agencies can use them.
How about the head of the U.S. Armed Forces, Navy Adm. Mike Mullen, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. Want up to the minute news on what these guys are doing? Follow Admiral Mike Mullen for the latest decisions and discussions.
Getting to the state and local level your state legislators may already twiitter. 19 senators and 50 members of the House of Representatives are all using the service to post news. You can find out what members of Congress twitter from here, or two websites that carry all of their postings, the Congressional 140 site and TweetCongress. The last two are volunteer run sites so if you want to step up and help…
Another web site, GovTwit, run by Bearing Point's Steve Lunceford, tracks people in government agencies who twitter. At last count, 1,060 names are on the list. Bearing Point is a global management and technology consulting company with close ties to the US government.
I've never been a twitterer. Maybe I should look into it..
University of Utah gets hit by conficker worm
Over 700 computers were hit by the most recent release of the conficker worm at the University of Utah. Computers included those at the University's three hospitals.
The worm was first detected on Thursday on some of the school's computers. By Friday it had hit the school's computers at the three hospitals, medical school, and colleges of nursing, pharmacy and health.
University officials don't believe that any patient data or medical records were compromised. According to officials those are protected "in a deeper way". That begs the question of what exactly does that mean? Is that the only data that is virus protected? Is it on Linux or Unix?
The IT staff at the school shut off internet access for up to 6 hours Friday in an effort to isolate the worm. The staff worked over the weekend to cleanup the damage caused by the outbreak. Kind of gives real meaning to the saying "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure" doesn't it?
Mindy Tueller of the university's office of information technology said all faculty and students should take steps to make sure they are protected. The virus does not infect Macs.
Or Linux, Unix or any other OS besides Windows 🙂
"It can do a lot of bad things," Tueller said. "Every university member should be concerned about this if they're using Windows-based devices."
Interesting. Ms. Tueller and school officials apparently recognize that the problem is the OS but apparently don't want to do anything about it. How much does that attitude cost the school?
Interact with the US Government with youtube, facebook and more
The General Services Administration (GSA) has worked out it's legal concerns with Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo, blip.tv and Facebook so that federal agencies can use these forms of new media to interact with US citizens. The GSA initially had some concerns with the general terms and agreements of these sites possibly not meeting liability limits, endorsements and freedom of information that the federal government requires.
"We need to get official information out to sites where people are already visiting and encourage them to interact with their government," said GSA Acting Administrator Paul Prouty. "The new agreements make it easier for the government to provide official information to citizens via their method of choice."
The agencies are free to choose which of the sites they will use and what content that they can or will post on those sites. The GSA did not take the contracts to that level. Instead they standardized the terms and agreements with those sites so that the agencies can make the choice of which sites and what content to post. This frees the agencies to use the sites they believe will best get their message out to the American people.
The GSA negotiated on behalf of all agencies to standardize the terms and agreements. All of the sites were reluctant to negotiate separate agreements with the hundreds of different agencies because of the costs and time involved.
"Several federal agencies helped to negotiate these agreements, so it's hoped that other agencies will find the language acceptable," said GSA Acting Associate Administrator Martha Dorris.
GSA said it started with Flickr, YouTube, Vimeo and blip.tv because those providers are innovative and have large audiences. However, the agency would like to negotiate agreements with many additional providers.
Agencies are already free to use Twitter because GSA found its standard terms of service compatible with federal use.
If a governments agency is not yet on your favorite social networking site give them some time. The GSA is looking at more sites so that they can expand the offering.
Want to sell computers to the Marine Corps?
The Marine's are looking for a few good vendors that want to sell them computers. They will even let you help develop the procurement procedure according to this request for information.
The Marine Corps plans on creating a contract vehicle for procuring desktops, laptops and servers. The plan will include procuring rugged and non-rugged computer in an efficient and cost effective way. The plan is to establish a common set of hardware platforms and the method in which those systems will be procured. Sounds like whoever helps establish the procurement procedure will be selling the Marines some hardware..
Not to be left out of environmental concerns computers must be manufactured and operate in environmentally friendly way. Whoever sells them the computers must also provide an efficient method of returning old and broken equipment.
The Marine Corps will hold an industry day conference to discuss the contract at 9:00 a.m. on April 16. The Marine Corps Systems Command in Quantico, Va., will host the conference at the Jacobs Building, Quantico Center 1, 3850 Fettler Park Drive, Dumfries, Va.
All vendors interested in participating in the conference must notify Judy Campbell at 703-432-5096 or Theresa Minton at 703-432-5104 by 4 p.m. on April 13.
All submissions must be entered by April 30.
Does the Operating System really matter?
After reading this article I started asking myself if the Operating System really does matter for most users. I finally reached the conclusion that it does. Here's why.
For my own vote I asked myself if I would switch from Linux to Windows or Mac. After giving this some thought I decided that I would not switch.
First of all I am a firm believer in voting with my wallet. Now while I might be tempted to buy a Mac no such temptation exists with Windows. Quite simply I just do not like Microsoft as a company. Hence I have no desire to use any of their products let alone the way to expensive Windows operating system. I really, really, don't like having to purchase the associated software that runs on Windows that I have to purchase to get the operating system to do what I want..
I like having the ability to choose which distribution of Linux and the associated open source applications that I like and downloading them via yum, zypper, Yast or what have you. I have a choice without spending a dime. Free as in freedom to choose and free as in beer. I have a choice to support the software that I use, financially or helping in some way with the project. No such choice exists with either Mac or Windows.
The article points out that most users are only concerned with web browsing, writing and generally getting their work done. From purely a corporate standpoint I agree. However I think most users today expect more out of their computers at home.
I believe multimedia is a big one. Whether it's creating video, listening to mp3s or editing pictures most people at some point are going to do one at least one of the three.
Another point that I agree with in the article is that Windows 7 is not much more than a face lift. Users are told that it will be better than Vista and so they believe that it will. That belief alone will make it better whether or not it really is. (What administrator among us hasn't faced this dilemma with users who thought something was "slow" and so it was slow – regardless of whether or not it was?)
The big question is this: If what they say is true that all users want to do is browse the web, write documents and generally get their work done why are they not demanding a lower cost from Microsoft or, better yet, demanding Linux from the hardware vendors or downloading and installing it themselves?
I think the operating system does matter on some level to just about everyone. Sure there are users out there that only use email, browse the web and write documents without giving any more thought to the operating system. I don't however think that they are in the majority.
Cybersecurity bill before Senate for approval
A cybersecurity bill is before the Senate for approval. The bill, if passed, would impose standards on the public and private sectors and certifications for cybersecurity professionals.
The legislation is aimed streamlining cybersecurity authorities, promoting public awareness and enhanci cybersecurity cooperation between government and industry, The bill would also increase cybersecurity education and research and development efforts.
So far as networks are concerned the bill would give the new national cybersecurity adviser the right to disconnect any network deemed critical to national security or the US infrastructure from the internet. This would only happen if the network is considered at risk for attack.
According to the article:
The senators also called for a public awareness campaign, a review of the laws that apply to cybersecurity and a report on identity management and civil liberties. They would also further involve the private sector in cybersecurity efforts through the establishment of:
* A group that would certify that products purchased by the federal government meet cybersecurity standards.
A panel of outside experts to advise the president on cybersecurity.
A public-private clearinghouse for information sharing on cyberthreats.
State and regional cybersecurity centers to help small and medium-sized businesses.
I suppose it had to happen sooner or later. In the past couple of months I have mentioned several cybersecurity attacks, some successful and other networks at risk, in both the private and public sectors. It is a natural progression of this county's government to step in when business, organizations, and government branches refuse to police themselves and protect their constituents and customers from harm.
On the brighter side a whole new market is opening up for security professionals and software. This is going to happen at the collegiate level as well as in the development of new security software. If you are looking for a career or career change this is an area that you should investigate.
And you thought conficker was dead
The conficker worm that infected millions of computers starting last October was believed to be at bay. Not so according to Vincent Weafer, vice president of Symantec's security response group.
Computers infected with this worm are being updated with a stronger variant. The variant is designed to sidestep security measures attempting to cut the connection between infected machines and it's hacker controllers. An estimated 20 technology companies, including Microsoft, have joined together to try and counter the stronger variant.
They are attempting to stop the worm by pre-registering domains that they believe the worm will use. According to Symantec and others in the group the worm can register up to 50,000 domain names a day. The domains are used to band together the infected computers and route the worm to other computers for infection.
The new worm is also better at resisting eradication. "It's turning off a variety of security services," Weafer said, as well as tools often used by security companies to dig into malware.
Weafer also believe that the number of infected computers has peaked. "The number of infected machines is constantly dropping, so we're dealing with a much smaller pool [of devices] that are potentially getting this update," Weafer said.
There is bright side to all of this. Linux users don't have to worry about this. We don't need to download Microsoft's patch to fix our machines. What is really glaring is that so far as I know there are no open source companies joined to the group to protect the Windows computer. Maybe they should consult with them and teach them how to write software that is not so susceptible to attacks like this.
This whole thing started because of a security vulnerability in the Microsoft OS. When are Microsoft users and companies going to wake up and realize how expensive it is to continue using this brain dead OS? FWIW my definition of brain dead is an OS that has users, administrators and anyone else who uses the machine pointing and clicking to set up the OS and not knowing what they just did. No wonder that OS gets attacked so much.
If you have a Microsoft machine that is infected what you need is the MS08-067 security update. You'll have to look it up yourself – I have no need for it. You can read more about this fiasco here.
I'll stick with my Linux and Open Source software thank you very much.
Protect your ssh server with DenyHosts
If you have an SSH server that is accessible from the internet then you should look at the DenyHosts application to protect your servers and networks.
DenyHosts protects your servers by parsing your ssh log for failed attempts at ssh login. The log where this is recorded varies by distribution. On Red Hat it is /var/log/secure and /var/log/auth.log on Mandrake. You should have one of these log files on your system
DenyHosts works by monitoring these logs for failed ssh login attempts. It also tracks which user accounts are targeted. When it finds a repeated failures from the same IP address it inserts these into your /etc/hosts.deny file effectively blocking the offending crackers.
Like any security measure this one can be shored up by implementing complementary measures. These would include disallowing root logins, using a port number other than 22 and disabling password logins. All of these can be set in your /etc/ssh/sshd_config file. Your ssh daemon must be restarted after making these changes.
You can download DenyHosts here.
Open Virtualization Format (OVF) released
The Distributed Management Task Force (DMTF) released the finished version of the Open Virtualization Format (OVF). The OVF is a set of metadata tags that can be used to deploy virtual environment across multiple virtualization platforms.
Using OVF users can download a virtualized application and run it on the operating system on which it was developed. Since the OVF is not hypervisor dependent users can install it on the virtualizaton platform of their choice. Admins and other users can download the OVF packaged software and install it within their own virtual infrastructure instead of creating the virtualization platform on which the software was originally installed. By using this admins can get new applications into production faster.
OVF is actually a set of metadata that describes the virtualization container. This allows the virtualization platform to translate the machine into it's own environment. While the practice of competing virtual platforms translating virtual machines to run on their platform is not new until now there has not been an open source application that would wholesale translate any virtual machine into any virtual environment. This is all accomplished by using the metadata standard developed for the OVF,
OVF can also be used to manage virtual machine installations. For example if machines are required to start in a certain order to allow for dependencies the OVF can handle this. You can find out more about the OVF here.

Is that tire smoke or clutch smoke? Mike's '88 Camaro makes both.
This '88 Camaro was Mike Bighley's first car. unlike those of us who spend our lives in pursuit of our true love-our first car-he kept his, building it up to the wolf-in-sheep's- clothing twin-turbo monster you see here.
Mike bought it in 1997, just around the time he turned 16. It was a base coupe model equipped with the optional LO3 TBI 305. Churning out 170 hp, it was an OK car for a 16-year-old. At 17, he got wise and began working on it, mostly adding bolt-ons. he did the typical cam/heads/exhaust stuff for several years, enjoying the building and driving experience. When he reached the limits of the 305 block, he upgraded to a TPI setup on top of a GM ZZ4 crate engine. That might be where many of us would have left it alone. But the motor oil really hit the fan when Mike, at age 23, decided he wanted turbos.
Mark found a deal on a strong reciprocating assembly and got to work. he did a lot of research on the Internet and some experimenting with different combinations in his own car before coming up with the iteration we came across at last year's Summer Nationals in St. Paul. here's the condensed version: a pair of Master Power T70 turbochargers, two intercoolers, custom headers, an edelbrock Victor-e intake, Fast Burn heads, 150-pound injectors, and four fuel pumps.
He dialed everything in using a FAST XFI engine-management system. How much power, you ask? Running on e85 fuel with 20 psi of boost, how does 854 hp at the wheels sound? Cooler still is the story Mike tells about the time he first cranked up the boost that high. "The clutch welded itself to the flywheel. I had to separate them with a pry bar." Steamy. he's still messing with the settings, ultimately shooting for 1,000 hp at the wheels at 24 psi.
All along the way, Mike steadily improved the drivetrain and chassis as well. He swapped out the stock trans in favor of a stronger T56, replaced the small 10-bolt rear with a Moser 9-inch, and added a rollcage and subframe connectors to take most of the wet noodle out of the Camaro's unibody. In addition to all the mechanical work, Mike, a bodyman by trade, painted the car himself. Control freak!
Tech Notes
Who: Mike Bighley
What: '88 Chevrolet Camaro
Where: Vadnais heights, Minnesota. The wind chill was 10.4 degrees F there at the time this was written.
Engine: Mike runs a GM Performance Parts ZZ4 block. It's heavily reinforced to cope with more than 20 psi of boost. He uses billet main caps and ARP studs, a forged Scat crank and Carrillo rods, and Je extreme Duty 8.5:1 pistons. he ported his GMPP Fast Burn cylinder heads keeping the stock valves but adding Comp beehive springs and titanium retainers. Aaron's Machine in St. Paul did the block prep.
Turbochargers and plumbing: hours of research led Mike to Brazil's Master Power, prompting him to pick up a pair of T70 turbos. They blow a compressed intake charge through a pair of air-to-liquid intercoolers that Mike painted black and hid in the grille openings behind the foglights.
Intake: Air enters the engine via a Wilson 90mm throttle body and into an edelbrock Victor e manifold.
Exhaust: Willing to try anything once, Mike made his own exhaust system starting with a set of 13.4″ headers. From the turbine side, Mike made the 3-inch downtubes leading to a single 4-inch exhaust through a Borla XR-1 muffler exiting at the rear of the car.
Fuel: Mike keeps his engine well fed with a steady flow of e85 sprayed by a set of Ford Racing 150-lb/hr injectors. To keep up with demand, he sumped the stock gas tank and installed four Walbro fuel pumps. The car normally runs on two pumps, but the computer switches on the extra two based on load and engine speed.
Engine Management: Originally, Mike was running a MegaSquirt computer, but recently switched to a FAST XFI box. Ignition: If you can take your eyes off Mike's cool turbo setup you'll eventually notice his MSD Pro Billet distributor and HVC II coil.
Transmission: The T56 Mike swapped in several years ago is still holding up despite the massive jump in power. He upgraded to a McLeod twin-disc clutch, though.
Rearend: Worried about broken housings and snapped axles, Mike installed a Moser 9-inch with 3.25:1 gears and 31-spline axles. Can you blame him?
Suspension: up front, you'll see a PA Racing K-frame and control arms. In back are a BMR torque arm, control arms, and a Panhard bar. eibach's and Koni's are at all four corners.
Chassis: Mike built his six-point 'cage from a weld-up kit purchased from Competition engineering, welding it in on a 95-degree day. he said he's never sweated so much in his life.
Brakes: All that power under the hood will easily overwhelm a stock braking system. Mike wisely upgraded to Baer's Track kit that included 13-inch rotors up front and 12-inchers out back.
Wheels/Tires: Five spokes are the way to go, and Mike's got a set of 17-inch V45s by Vintage Wheel Works. he rolls on Nitto tires, sizes 274/45R17 front and 315/35R17 rear.
Paint And Body: Mike sprayed the '69 hugger Orange himself, adding the cool rally stripes in the process.

Product Description
Extremely High Resolution of 1600 x 1200 Pixels
With its extremely high resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels, THE IMAGING SOURCE DBK 51AG02.AS Color GigE astronomy camera without IR cut filter is ideally suited to capture detailed images of the night sky, which demand the finest precision. The camera ships with IC Capture.AS, a comprehensive software package with which you can capture lossless and uncompressed images sequences and write them to disk as AVI files, or as a series of singular bitmaps.
Color Interpolation
For visualization applications, it does not make sense to view the RAW image stream from the CCD chip. It must be interpolated, before it may be viewed or saved in common formats. IC Capture.ASperform color interpolation, thus reducing the load on the DBK 51AG02.AS's processor. Should, on the other hand, you prefer that the camera itself performs color interpolation, you can select the appropriate option in IC Capture.AS. This enables the transfer of data to reach the camera's maximum of 15 FPS. Finally, if you do not require color interpolation at all, you can turn it off completely and the image stream is written to disk in RAW format.
Sony ICX274AQ 1/1.8 " CCD Chip
The DBK 51AG02.AS ships with the color Sony ICX274AQ progressive scan CCD chip. With its 1/1.8 " format, the CCD chip produces a resolution of 1600 x 1200 pixels. Even at very long exposure times - up to 60 minutes exposure are possible - noise is minimal. Thanks to this extremely high quality, the Sony ICX274AQ CCD chip is also often used in other scientific, industrial and medical image processing applications.
No Compression, No IR Cut Filter
The DBK 51AG02.AS does not compress the video stream it outputs - the video data that is captured by the CCD chip is outputted directly by the GigE connector. Similarly, the camera does not have an IR cut filter, a color filter, nor an other kind of electronic filter. The camera is, therefore, ideally suited to capturing very true-to-life images of the night sky.
High Speed Data Transfer Via GigE
In order to transfer the vast amount of data created by the stream of uncompressed and lossless color images to the host PC, you need a very high speed bus. Hence, the DBK 51AG02.AS is fitted with a fast GigE connector.
Included Software
The DBK 51AG02.AS ships with the device driver IC WDM GIGE TIS and the camera control and image acquisition application IC Capture.AS. Both of these run on Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7 (32 and 64 bit).
Software for Mac OS and Linux is available from third parties.
- 1/1.8 " CCD, Sony ICX274AQ (progressive scan).
- Resolution 1600 x 1200 pixels.
- Up to 15 FPS and 60 minutes exposure.
- C/CS mount.
- Software included.

It's hanging out in a deep-sea cavern next to Atlantis, so that's why it's got the glowing eyes 'n' stuff.
People sometimes ask me "What are you working on now?" and "When can you post some stuff from EL SUPERBEASTO?" Well, it's like this: I recently finished up work on BEASTO, and it won't be coming out 'til 2007, so in the meantime, I can't post any of the artwork I did for the movie. (They even made us sign papers that specifically mentioned blogs!) Maybe if they put some of my art on the official website, it can be considered "declassified", but not until then, I guess.
....so as I search for that next cool project, I'm doing some work on Jorge Guiterrez & Sandra Equihua's wild new show at Nickelodeon, EL TIGRE. That won't be out until 2007 either, so you can't see any of my stuff for that, too. :(
...I'm also working with the cool cats over at GHOSTBOT on a sooper secret project that I can't even tell you about!
What's next for this kid? As soon as I know, I'll let all of you know....
Giant Robot's sister store GR2 has an awesome Post-It art show, POST DEUX, on display thru September 19. Their walls are covered in tons of the little yellow stickies (Nearly 2,000) featuring the doodles of 32 different artists. Super-cool; Check it out! ....and be sure to stop at Beard Papa for creampuffs before you leave.

Welcome Campers !! We have openings for the blessing of the Bikes 2014, the 13th annual blessing of the jeeps (May 3rd) hosted by Cadillac Jeepers, and all holiday weekends and other special events in this area. Please read the next five paragraphs !!
Memorial Day weekend will be the pig roast (and another non pork meat) with chili cook off, bring your own table service. Dishes to pass are welcomed but not necessary or expected, contact the office for chili cook off rules.
Winner of the chili cook off gets a free seasonal for the remainder of 2014 camping season (May 1st 2014 through April 30th 2015). Second place gets a free month and third place gets a free week.
Fourth of July weekend fireworks display (aprox. 1 hour long), traditionally we've fired up the grill for this event as well. We usually have chicken and ribs, hot dogs, or even the ocassional goat or lamb depending on the interest level.
Ann's Putman Lake RV Park and Campground Inc (and paintball too) is a recently remodeled outdoor recreational park located on 62+ heavily wooded acres on the tranquil Putman Lake, designed for Children and Adults alike, right here in Western Northern Michigan's Lake County, just outside of Baldwin. With our own trails, Sand Pits and ATV ORV trail access, and much more. In the spring of 2008 and again summer 2010 the campground changed ownership (without a name change yet), and we, in 2008/2009 and 2012, purchased more property for our customers enjoyment. In 2010/11 installed new wells, water and power throughout.
Our Motto: Legal, Ethical, and Moral with a Smile (or we aint a gonna do it).Our Business statement: Give our customers what we promise, or more for the cost we promised, or less, in the time frame we promised or sooner.
We are as much of a natural Outdoor Recreational Park as we are an RV Park and Campground. We aren't at all that fancy, but we strive to provide what we can for your children and yourselves to enjoy while relaxing. Boredom isn't a viable option here, yet peacefulness is imminent.
We aren't by any means a parking lot style campground, nor is our wooded resort well manicured; we, as well as most of our customers, like el natural.
We have 90 sites scattered over a mile of roads throughout our wooded resort. We have 9 different camping area's all having their uniqueness aiming to please most anybodies preference. (Horse shoe, Cul-de-sac, Petting zoo, Lakeside, Mature Adults, Lakefront, Peanut, Non Electric and Group area/s.) Our Pricing is uniform throughout (except for the non electric sites and group rates) Each area has its uniqueness, making most all areas equally attractive to a variety of folks that stay here.
Folks constantly and repeatedly tell us we are the best campground they've ever seen. Nobody has, nor could we imagine them to tell us we are the fanciest and best groomed. We concentrate on peacefulness, nature and the natural outdoor pleasures children and, adults alike enjoy the most, in a relaxed atmosphere.

A gastroenteritis outbreak is currently affecting dogs throughout the UK, according to experts who are advising pet owners to be as vigilant as possible.
The virus causes dogs to experience diarrhoea, vomiting and stomach pain.
Dr John Rosie, from Derbyshire, says he has seen an increased number of gastroenteritis cases in dogs within the last two weeks.
"There has been a higher number of cases although we don't have the exact diagnosis of what the cause is yet," Dr Rosie told Derbyshire Live.
"The dogs seem to be responding to the treatment we are giving them."
Dr Rosie has been treating around five dogs with the virus each week, and suspects that the bug will continue to spread across the country.
What is gastroenteritis?
Gastroenteritis is the inflammation of the stomach and intestines. This can lead to discomfort, pain, diarrhoea and vomiting and can be very infectious.
It can be caused by infection with bacteria, viruses, parasites, or reactions to medications or new foods.
Symptoms to watch out for
Animal health company Zoetis explains that "gastroenteritis will often come on rapidly and is characterised by a sudden onset of vomiting and/or diarrhoea.
"Food and bile are typically vomited, although small amount of blood may also be present. Affected pets are usually not interested in food and may feel unwell.
"You should consult your vet if your dog shows signs of gastroenteritis."
How to prevent it
In order to try to prevent gastroenteritis in dogs, owners are advised to ensure vaccinations and worming are both up to date.
"Vaccinating your pet regularly will also protect them against several serious viral diseases that affect the gastrointestinal tract, such as parvovirus infection," add Zoetis.
"[Worming your dog] at least four times a year with a broad spectrum intestinal worming preparation, together with flea control to prevent some intestinal worms is essential."

One Mo time? Joe Girardi to talk to Rivera about 2014
NEW YORK - This is probably nothing. But given a rare moment of candor in New York Yankees manager Joe Girardi's postgame press conference Tuesday night, it probably bears mention.
Girardi acknowledged that he does plan to talk to Mariano Rivera about his decision to retire, and that he will make his case that he believes the greatest closer of all-time could continue playing beyond this season.
"As a player that decided to retire at the age of 39, I think it's important that you let a player get away for awhile and to see what that feeling is like," Girardi said. "When you're away for a game for a month or two months, to see if that feeling changes, because it's hard to come back once you leave, as you're an older player. I would just say to Mo, 'Think about it and make sure' – and I won't talk to him the first month (after the season ends) – 'Just to make sure that's what you want to do. If that's what you want to do, I respect it, but as good as you've been, I still think you could probably do it.' "
Rivera dismissed the notion that he might reconsider. And it would be a total shock if he did. With all of the ways that he's been celebrated this season, it would be pretty hard to change his mind at this point.
"I don't know why we're talking about this," Rivera said after recording his 40th save of the season on Tuesday night. "I've made my decision."
Girardi openly acknowledged that, "I believe he's going to retire," but he also knows that Rivera will miss the game when he's gone. He spoke about how he knew it was time to call it quits when his body couldn't stay healthy, but that hasn't been a problem for Rivera this season.
Considering how daunting like without Mo will be, I guess you can't blame him for trying.
"It's just a man who has retired talking to another man who's thinking about retiring, and just telling him my feelings on it. It's not me lobbying him to come back, because as I've said along, I would never want a player to comeback if he didn't want to comeback," Girardi said. "I'll just talk to him, because I want to make sure that his heart is right when he decides it's time."

Road Tour: Leg 3
From San Antonio To Pomona
As usual, before we departed on Sunday, June 10, a few of the cars were attacked by gremlins, and Tom's '40 was one of them-the alternator decided to quit charging on the way to our motel Saturday night. That wouldn't normally be a big deal, but it was 10 p.m. and all the parts stores were closed, and we were planning to leave at 7 a.m., before any of them would be open. So, in true STREET RODDER style, we came up with an alternate alternator plan. George Packard fired up his Deuce coupe, and then his battery was swapped for Medley's so we could get to Rick's garage on the battery power. There, stashed under his workbench, was a slightly grimy-but-serviceable GM alternator; of course the wiring harness had to be modified, and the mounting ear had to be tapped to work the mounting bracket, but then if this street rod stuff was easy, everyone would do it. Slightly blurry-eyed from our repair session that lasted until the wee hours, we met the gang at Vintage Air on the appointed hour, hit Highway 90, and headed west.
At our first gas stop in Uvalde, Texas, the gremlins returned, this time attacking Jimmie Vaughan's gorgeous Flathead-powered '32 Ford five-window. The alternator's mounting stud had pulled the threads in the intake manifold, and, as a result, the belt that runs the alternator and water pumps couldn't be tightened. But, like every other time we've seen a street rod have problems on the road, help came from everywhere. Fellow travelers, locals just driving by, and even the town policeman on patrol stopped to see what they could do to help. A trip to the local farm supply produced a bolt to replace the stud and we were on the road again.
For reasons I've never been able to figure out, there's always at least one street rod version of a Chinese fire drill on our segment of the tour, and this year was no different. After a lunch stop in Del Rio, Texas, Tom and I were among the last to leave, so of course we looked at this as a chance to turn the wick up on the '40 to catch the others. As we rounded a bend at speed, a gust of wind blew Tom's cap out the window, so of course we pulled over, turned around, and went back to look for a $9 hat. Over the years, Vintage Air's Jack Chisenhall and son Landis have followed the group to make sure no one with problems gets left behind, so they pulled over when they saw us turning around. By the time we found Tom's hat, reversed direction again, and were making tracks to catch up, the Chisenhalls had turned around and were coming back to check on us. Even as we passed at speed, we could all see the smiles on each other's faces; it doesn't take much to entertain street rodders.
A short detour off Highway 90 took us to the Judge Roy Bean Visitor Center. Remarkably, the original building that was Bean's home of law west of the Pecos-as well as a bar and pool hall, among other things-still stands in the town he named after English actress Lillie Langtry, nicknamed the Jersey Lily. After checking out what was the Jersey Lily saloon, we opted for the offerings of the town's post office/store-soft drinks and ice cream push-ups-then it was on to our first night's stop in Fort Davis at the historic Hotel Limpia. That evening there was a car show and barbecue in the town square.
Monday morning we stopped just out of town to tour Fort Davis, said to be the best surviving 19th century military post. Active from 1854 to 1891, the fort was brought back from near ruin thanks to an ongoing national park service preservation and restoration program. The authentically restored barracks had everyone speculating what life must have been like back then.
As if to go from one extreme to another, our next stop was in Roswell, New Mexico. On the way into town, a number of sharp-eyed street rodders spotted a salvage yard full of vintage tin from the '40s, '50s, and '60s. Unfortunately a few herd of sheep were the only living things on the premises, so we had to be content looking at it all through a chain-link fence. A few more miles down the road we found the center of town and the International UFO Museum and Research Center. Evidently the last spaceship that landed in town was full to the brim with T-shirts and bumper stickers, and they're still trying to get rid of them. Somewhere there's a street rod plastered with a "My Other Car is a UFO" sticker, but don't blame us.
Tuesday we continued west through the rolling hills of New Mexico. After a lunch stop at K-Bob's in Socorro, we wound through the hills of "Billy the Kid" country, stopping in Capitan, the birthplace of none other than Smokey Bear. This was an interesting stop for those of us who could remember the "Only You Can Prevent Forest Fires!" campaigns from the '50s. When the Smokey Bear fire prevention program began in the '40s, an illustration of Smokey, wearing jeans and a campaign hat, pouring a bucket of water on a campfire was used. Then, in 1950, a tiny, badly singed bear cub was found clinging to a tree during a blaze in the Capitan area. The little black bear was nursed back to health and became the living symbol of Smokey. He lived in the National Zoo until his death in 1975.
At our lunch stop earlier in the day, we were tipped off that Pie Town on the continental divide was a great place to check out; as you might guess, we packed the place. After this stop, Medley and I were among the last to get on the road, and as we crested a hill not far down the road we found the Road Tour coupe parked on the side of the road with our very own pavement pounder, Jerry Dixey, and STREET RODDER Publisher Tim Foss discussing the finer points of fuel management. After all the wisecracks like, "These guys know less about street rods together than they do individually," and, "Who was the genius that swapped the 16-gallon tank for a 12?" were over, we turned our attention to solving the problem at hand. By this time, the Chisenhalls were on the scene, but between all of us there wasn't a siphon hose or a can to put gas in. Around the time we were deciding who was going to get fuel, Seth Bradley and his father, John, pulled up in Seth's Deuce roadster. And, although the Bradleys couldn't help, they knew someone who could-Bob and Kathleen Jackson were just ahead of us in their '41 Dodge coupe and they had a full fuel can onboard.
As the Bradleys took off in hot pursuit of fuel, the roadside discussion returned to why the coupe hadn't made it to the next gas stop. About the time the verdict was reached that the Deuce wasn't level last time it was filled-so even though the gauge read full, the tank was down just enough to make a difference-our rescuer showed up. But it wasn't any of our tour mates, rather the driver of a tool-and-welder-laden carnival repair truck pulling a caramel apple, candy, and cold drink trailer who stopped to help us out. The congenial carny drained a couple gallons of gas from the truck's tank into a container and we were soon on our way. Good thing, too, because what we didn't know was that the Jacksons had used their extra fuel, as they had run out as well. Needless to say, every gas tank was filled to the brim when we all met at the next station-particularly those who opted to take the 35-mile side trip through the Petrified Forest National Park.
Our evening stop was just off Route 66 at the historic Las Posada, the last great railroad hotel, in Winslow, Arizona. As it had played host to the likes of Bob Hope, John Wayne, "Hopalong" Cassidy, and others, the rooms were each named after a particular guest. Regrettably, unlike some hotel chains' advertising campaigns, I can tell you that staying in the Albert Einstein room has no noticeable effect.
At about this point in the trip, Medley and I began talking about how well things had gone for us up to that point-we both should have known better. After stopping to take photos of some of the cars passing by, I slipped behind the wheel of the coupe and hit the starter. When the small-block Chevy roared to life, it did just that ... it roared. The flange of the driver-side exhaust manifold had broken off and the engine was belching fire and fumes from what was left of a ram horn. While the rest of the group headed off to take the scenic Grand Canyon loop, we limped into Flagstaff, Arizona, in search of a sympathetic muffler shop. As luck would have it, we found Junior Sandoval's Muffler Magic. With Junior's street rod parked out front, and a customer's on the rack, we knew we were in the right spot.
As Travis Devening brazed the manifold together, we made another discovery: The vibration damper had just about worn a hole in the lower radiator hose. Of course none of the local parts houses had a hose that even resembled what we needed, so we improvised once more. Junior bent up a piece of tubing and we used two short sections of hose to connect to the water pump and radiator. With the coupe as good as new, and Medley's favorite tape of Louie Prima and Keely Smith cranked up, we caught up with the rest of the group as they were pulling into the night stop in Laughlin, Nevada, at the Aquarius Hotel. Along with everything else the casino had to offer, they provided us with roped-off covered parking.
On day five, we rolled through the desert across the border into California. As he had during most of the trip, Medley signed posters, T-shirts, old copies of Hot Rod magazine, and just about anything put before him at the lunch stop. A true legend in the hobby, at 87 years young, Medley is tough to keep up with. His enthusiasm has never waned, he has more energy than most people half his age, and everyone pays attention when he talks about hot rod history because he knows how it all came to be; after all, he experienced most of it firsthand.
After lunch we pulled off in Monrovia to check out Steve Metz's Staging Lane Productions; among other things, Steve is the maker of those cool desktop Muscle Machines. Virtually across the street is Mosher's Performance, a shop that specializes in Mopar wedge and Hemi cars. The place was packed with mind-blowing musclecars.
As in years past, Jack Chisenhall, Rick Love, and the entire Vintage Air crew went out of their way to make their leg of the tour memorable for all the participants and we're looking forward to next year already. At this point, about all we can say is that the destination will be different in 2008, but we can guarantee getting there will be loads of fun, as always.

|Joe Loth went to his alma
mater for the 2003 season, leaving Kean.
Otterbein athletics file photo
Ed Farrington announced that Joe Loth has been named head football coach at Western Connecticut State.
The Colonials, who had been coached by John Burrell, have lost 21 straight games including posting 0-10 records in each of the last two seasons.
Loth brings in a career record of 56-64, and was 49-42 at Otterbein.
"There was a tremendous interest in our head coaching
position when we conducted a national search and I feel we have
selected a fantastic candidate to be our new football coach,"
Farrington said. "Joe Loth is familiar with the process of
rebuilding a program, he is familiar with the university and I feel
he will make a smooth transition and hit the ground
Loth began his football career as a graduate assistant at Southern Methodist (1991-93). He served as defensive coordinator at NCAA Division III schools: Western Connecticut (1993-97) and Capital (1997-98). Loth spent two seasons as defensive secondary coach at Rhode Island (1998-00) before accepting his first head coaching job at Kean in February 2000.
A 1991 graduate of Otterbein, Loth returned to his alma mater as head coach in 2003, taking over a program that had just one winning season in the previous 23 years; the team was mired in an eight-game losing streak. He took over at Kean after the Cougars endured a 14-game losing streak prior to his arrival.
"I am extremely excited in the opportunity of becoming the new head football coach at Western Connecticut," said Loth on Monday. "The formula for winning at all levels of college football does not change. It is recruiting, retention, developing the student-athlete and running sound football schemes. We will relentlessly pursue excellence in all four of these areas at Western and in its move from the New Jersey Athletic Conference to the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference."
Loth holds the best winning percentage among football coaches with tenures of three or more seasons at Otterbein. The Cardinals set a school record for wins in 2008, going 9-2 overall and advancing into the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time in school history. Otterbein finished second in the Ohio Athletic Conference with an 8-1 record, with its lone conference loss coming at the hands of Mount Union, who went on to win the national championship. That season, Loth was named OAC Coach of the Year for the second time in his career.
"Western really feels like home to me," added Loth. "I have already been contacted by a number of ... alumni who seem excited to get someone with deep ties with the program as the head coach."
Loth has worked as a guest coach in the Canadian Football League, coaching wide receivers at Winnipeg in 2010-12 and Saskatchewan in 2009 for Paul LaPolice, who was an assistant on the Colonials staff back with Loth in 1994. LaPolice is the Blue Bombers Head Coach and served as the Roughriders Offensive Coordinator.
Loth was a four-year letterman and three-year starter at defensive back as an undergraduate at Otterbein. He earned second team All-OAC honors his senior year in 1990 and still holds the Otterbein career record of 13 interceptions. He received his bachelor's degree in Business.
"Coach Loth has provided incredible leadership during his time at Otterbein, creating a solid program foundation leading to competitive and academic success," stated new Otterbein athletic director Dawn Stewart. "He is an excellent ambassador for Division III athletics and will be missed by the Otterbein community. We are excited for Joe and his family for this personal and professional transition."
In 2006, Loth was inducted into the Riverside High School Hall of Fame in Painesville, Ohio.
Loth and his wife, Keri, who graduated from Western Connecticut State University, have two sons, Zachary, 12, and Tyler, 10.

Good news!
TimaLapse is very special and i think most pano-users wouldn´t need it. BUT: a device like the Merlin obviously is great for making it! And it´s fun anyway . .
Tethered with quick download: Wow - that would be great for a quick overview on scene.
Plug-ins would be fine also!
Stability should be added. Basically it is stable already - but some things . .
Well - great times ante portas :cool:

fma38 wrote:1) Timelapse: I don't know if people interested are still reading us. As I don't know much about this technic, I will need some help and ideas. I would also like to know what pure panoramic users think about this feature. Do you think it should be integrated into Papywizard, or should be a standalone application? In any case, a lot of code could be shared, and I plan to split Papywizard in several pieces, to be able to reuse common parts.
fma38 wrote:2) Tethered shooting: I think this will be a major improvement. I plan to be able to download the images as soon as they are shot, extract thumbnails to display them in mosaic shooting area, or do intelligent automatic bracketing.
fma38 wrote:3) Preset editor/management: we launch the idea to build some sort of server, to create/store/retreive presets. Another approach is to have a integrated editor, with import/export tool. Or a mix of both.
fma38 wrote:4) Support for other panohead: as I will soon test a Panoduino-like servo-based panohead, I will make a better design to be able to drive any kind of hardware. The accuracy will also be improved, by implementing backlash correction routines.
fma38 wrote:6) Plug-ins support: I always dreamed to be able to dynamically add feature to my programs (not only to Papywizard), but never took the time to implement a good plug-ins framework. I think I will do it in the v2. The goal will be to implement all internal (defaut) features as plug-ins, and to allow the user to write its own, to add, or even replace, some features. I don't know where it will lead us, but, well, let's try
fma38 wrote:7) Code review: this will be the first step: a big code review, to improve stability, add more error catching and so. And to implement the plug-ins framework...
fma38 wrote:8) Plateforms and toolkit: this is a sensitive point... As I said, I don't want to drop Nokia support, as a lot of users recently bought one to run Papywizard, and as it is a very simple way to drive the Merlin head. On the other hand, such devices are limited, especially the 770; it is clear that tethered shooting feature will need a lot of resources, and a USB host port. So, all features won't be available on all plateforms... I would also like to switch to Qt toolkit. As Nokia now owns Trolltech, it seems that Qt will be the first toolkit used by future Nokia's devices. What I read on forums, is that PC Qt applications seems to run fine out-of-the-box on Nokia. But again, this will require at least a N800
AlexandreJ wrote:fma38 wrote:1) Timelapse
I really think that this feature is part of the panorama head control software even if it's not really panoramic. Each shoot has always 2 parameters : location and time of shooting. It's true that in panoramic, we don't really care of the timing, but I think it's an common background that we should put into the heart of the system (even if it's not used a lot on the GUI).
fma38 wrote:2) Tethered shooting
So true. This is huge. It will need to cope with the complicated task or remote thumbnail retrieval. We need to use some already well working library for that : http://www.autopano.fr/wiki/action/view/Pilotage_APN
fma38 wrote:3) Preset editor/management
One idea : we are creating such server just for that feature for autopano. It will be used to handle autopano updates, plugins updates, cameras support upgrade easily.
It works per project, and for each project you can have several upgrades : for example, updating just the cameras.txt file in autopano is possible with this system.
Moreover, it's crossplatform.
It's quite what you need, so Kolor can provide you this facility for papywizard.
fma38 wrote:4) Support for other panohead
Yes. That part is to isolate from the other part of the code in a plugin. Each plugin can control one panohead. With a good specification of that part, I'm sure it's easy to convince panohead hardware manufacturer to create themself the plugin.
fma38 wrote:6) Plug-ins support
You have to design the plugin system by answering these questions :
- what is the kernel part of the software ? this will tells you what is really the software, it's goal, it's logic. For this project, I would define it as 'software to take photos with a controlled panohead' : it's generic enough but not too much. For example, we could have said 'software to take photo with a controlled device'. For example, it the controlled device is a drone, I think it's beyond this project. Everywhere in this project, we suppose that the only freedom of control is rotation around a point.
- what module could be switched by another one ? this often indicates that there is place for plugin (example : merlin IO library could be replaced by gigabot IO library).
fma38 wrote:8) Plateforms and toolkit
That would be a great move. For device support : http://trolltech.com/qt-in-use/story/device
And for us, Kolor, because we could participate more in this project because we are Qt developer (I never coded one line of python myself...).
fma38 wrote:Ok, I see.This is an axis (or several) which influences the position of the head. This can be used for othographic panos, and should be linked to GPS data...

Hi BeeZed,
Can you explain how you would shoot - whaqt is involved in shooting - a panning timelapse pano?
What is the end result - a video file?
I just cannot get my head around the notion of timelapse panos at the moment.
BeeZed wrote:Here are my thoughts:

3) Preset editor/management: A basic library of presets and the ability to save preset sets by camera or project would be nice. I can imagine having a set of Canon presets for example. I think an internal editor is important, though it could be a separate program, so a user can customise if needed. I cannot imagine that having users export to a server would be good, as there would be too many presets if everyone generated and exported them. Having the ability to download an updated standard library from a server would be nice.

Hi Andrew!
May i come in here!
Timelapse is really interesting - it can be really thrilling on a site. Though the effect is rather known - but rarely in combination with panning.
To get a smooth effect you need 25 fps. That means, if you shoot 25 pictures you get one second of movie.
Shooting 12,5 pictures a second for two seconds you get two seconds of movie but with doubled speed.
And so on.
That means: during a pan of 180° you must choose a certain amount of shots and a dedicated time to shoot them to get the effect you want.
let´s say: one shot per second while the head is panning 180°. That means as an example per 1 degree one shot - which means 180 shots:25=7,5 secondes of movie.
The question will be: does the head have to stop for each shot? Yes - depending on the exposure-time. At night maybe 2 seconds exposure-time per shot - which means: the head has indeed to stop at each single degree, waits for stabilization, shoots for 2 sec., moves on and so on.
best, Klaus

Print The European leather used to construct the Concord accessories has not been specifically treated for water repellency. Thus, the leather will temporarily darken when wet, and return to the original tone once completely dry. The waxy surface may assist in staving off some dirt. With continued use, a lovely shine or patina will develop, only enhancing the beauty of this leather. It is also characteristic for lighter colors to darken with use over time, and with exposure to light. Minor abrasions may be removed or lessened with the use of a very soft cloth and a gentle buffing action. This collection requires no creams, polishes, or leather conditioning products to maintain its beauty. This leather will darken and develop a lovely patina over time.

Mailbox: Proud of ICViews Policy
I am responding to Scott Long's letter, which asked that you change the "Pairings" section to one recognizing only heterosexual marriages.
When I first realized that ICView was including commitment ceremonies between homosexual couples [Editor's note: I can't take credit; I arrived in 1997, and this practice began in the early 1990s, under the editorship of Marina Bandidos Todd], I was very excited and proud to be an alumna of a college that recognized that not all marriages these days are between a man and a woman. As someone who has many homosexual friends in long-term, committed, loving relationships that by every right should be counted as marriages, I was pleased to see my alma mater recognizing them.
I believe that marriage should be between two people who love each other and are committed to being with each other for life. Whether they be male and female, male and male, or female and female, as long as the long-term commitment is there, what does it matter? We've all seen "traditional" marriages fail from lack of commitment on the part of one of the partners — is this what marriage is truly?
So, ICView, keep up the good work, and keep including all "Pairings" in the pages of the magazine.
