Report Detail Page
written by Wolfgang Christian, Doug Brown, and Francisco Esquembre
This paper outlines the pedagogical and technical features of the Open Source Physics (OSP) project and how we use OSP-based tools and resources to introduce modeling into the curriculum. We describe our current effort to create and distribute new material using the Easy Java Simulations and Tracker tools and how we distribute this curricular material with ComPADRE National Science Digital Library [OSP 2009]. The paper is organized as follows. Section II introduces the Modeling Cycle that is the basis for our pedagogy. Section III describes basic Easy Java Simulations concepts and section IV describes Tracker. The main features of ComPADRE are presented in section V and section VI presents the pedagogical benefits of this connection. Finally, section VII summarizes the improvements obtained by the use of our approach.

Roll it out and let this striped rug speak for itself. The bright, vibrant colors of this indoor / outdoor rug make it easy to use in kids' rooms or outdoor spaces with hassle-free care!
MATERIAL: 100% Polypropylene
CONSTRUCTION: Braided
FEATURES: Stain/Fade Resistant, Reversible, Made in USA
Retain the beauty of these fine products by regular vacuuming using the hard surface attachment. Do not use the beater bar on your rug. Remove spots with any dry cleaning fluid. Periodic professional dry cleaning is recommended. Accessory products may be machine washed, cold water, laid flat to dry.
If threads which hold the braids loosen or break simply sew together with a needle and strong thread. Trim, never pull loose ends. What may appear to be an irregularity in color or construction is actually part of the homespun look. Reverse for twice the wear.
Floor padding is strongly recommended to prevent yarn color dye transfer and provide comfort, safety, and durability.
Slight irregularities are inherent to all products. Minimal size, dye lot, and pattern repeat variations are to be expected from handcrafting. Due to tight packing for shipment, product may not lay flat; starting from the center, work wrinkles out with hands or pole.
* Cleaning and care may differ depending on product contents.Tip: We recommend the use of a non-skid pad to keep the rug in place on smooth surfaces. Use of a rug pad is recommended to extend the life of your rug and prevent shifting and sliding.

Opens to the public March 1, 2019
Jim Alden (1941 – 2004) painted the people and scenes of Port Townsend starting in the 1970s and found his place among other artists, poets, and entrepreneurs, with the Town Tavern as his hub. His beloved, highly collected paintings and eccentric personality made him quintessentially Port Townsend. This retrospective exhibition and accompanying catalogue written by curator Jenny Westdal and artist Stephen Yates give us an intimate perspective into an artist's life lived on Water Street.
"We went outside to watch the ferry come in and smoke a joint or two," Al continued. "By the time we came back in the place was filling up and the band was tuning their instruments. In the corner of this otherwise dead little town, a heart started to beat. I could feel the veins of a community pump psychedelic blood and the room was breathing, in and out, with all the souls that were in it....by midnight the place was so full the doors were flung open and folks were dancing in the street, right out in the intersection, with Port Townsend's finest standing around watching."
---excerpt from Jim Alden: Town Painter about the atmosphere of the Town Tavern

What I've dubbed the "most anticipated new roller coaster of the summer" has arrived at Six Flags Magic Mountain" href="https://www.latimes.com/travel/deals/themeparks/six-flags-magic-mountain/">Six Flags Magic Mountain --and I'm already salivating.
Magic Mountain took delivery this week of the rocking and spinning Green Lantern coaster trains, which join portions of the emerald green track already on site at the Valencia amusement park. (Watch the concept video of the Green Lantern.)
Ground clearance is currently under way for the first-of-its-kind ride in the U.S., with vertical construction expected to begin in March in advance of a scheduled Memorial Day weekend unveiling. Crews still have to add the Green Lantern symbols and throwing-star designs to the sides of the five trains before on-track testing begins in late spring.
The Green Lantern's vertical zigzag track will sit on a compact footprint near the Batman and Riddler's Revenge coasters. The new-concept, fourth-dimension coaster, similar in style to X2 but much tamer, will reach a top speed of 37 mph over 825 feet of serpentine track during the two-minute ride.
Upon boarding a train that straddles the track, eight riders per car face in two directions, forward and backward. A chain lift carries each car up an inverted curved section to a height of 107 feet. From there, the suspended trains rock back and forth on the straight-aways and rotate head over heels as the cars plunge over freefall drops.
The Intamin ZacSpin coaster is making its U.S. debut at Magic Mountain. The Grona Lund theme park in Stockholm added an identical ZacSpin called Insane last year, with smaller versions of the ride also operating in Spain and Finland.

I recently had the opportunity to take a group of students on a tour of the galleries. Our task was to examine the ways in which various sculptors—all using square or rectangular forms—delineate space. This seems like a simple undertaking; after all, sculpture relies upon the ubiquitous nature of space. But in our quest to examine how artists form and demarcate space, we began to understand the special nature of that which is enclosed in the interior of the sculpture. As we reveled in the sometimes intricate, sometimes straightforward shapes outlined by various sculptural materials, it became evident that the entry provided into that space necessitated both our reasoning skills and imagination.
For instance, when exploring the carefully notched, square cutouts of Jackie Windsor's Green Piece (1967), students instinctively grasped the inherent mystery of the work. Windsor's weathered, mint-green wood panels come together to form a cube that cheekily invites investigation. As we spent energy doubling our bodies over so as to visually access the five square-shaped holes the artist carved on each (visible) side of the piece, we became aware of our sense of ambivalence regarding the interior of the sculpture. Was the cube empty or full? Is there ever a way to know for certain? Is it important to reach a conclusion?
The quiet, invitational gesture—Windsor has pointed to the notion that we would do best to look into the dark space of the piece—is a powerful one. By enclosing and concealing space, the artist allows us to activate our imaginations. We are never quite sure what lies concealed, but that doubt is what fuels our looking.
While the students all had different ideas about what Windsor's cube contained, a sense of unified understanding developed as we engaged with works like Larry Bell's Untitled from Terminal Series (1968) and Donald Judd's Untitled (1967). In both these pieces, the artists chose (to varying levels) transparent materials that allow light to move through the space enclosed by the work; this light then becomes a medium integral to the piece. As a group, we came to the consensus that the legibility of the contents of both artists' box-shaped works emphasized the tenuousness confinement of space. If one side of the Bell were to be removed, would the cube-shaped space within the piece dissolve? Likewise, the group discussed Judd's careful placement of his stainless steel boxes and the exceptionally articulated spaces between them. In an activity—where we paired up to use our bodies to test the notion that when two masses pull away from one another, there is a point where the space between them loses its definition—the importance of Judd's seemingly simple decisions on placement became crystal clear. This clarity offered students an acute awareness of the choices they make in their own creations and a new appreciation of space.

Being shot and blinded by Raoul Moat was the "first step" in the series of events which led to Pc David Rathband killing himself, a coroner ruled today.
Mr Rathband was shot and blinded by Moat in Newcastle in July 2010 after the gunman declared war on police while on the run for murder and attempted murder.
He became a national hero and used his profile to set up the Blue Lamp Foundation to support 999 staff injured at work.
But after attending the trial of Moat's two accomplices in spring 2011, he lost focus and grew despairing.
However, the traffic officer grew desperate after the collapse of his marriage and struggled to cope with his sudden and irreversible disability.
The inquest heard Mr Rathband, 44, had made threats to kill himself and told his lover he attempted to hang himself but could not go through with it.
But his widow Kath and police colleagues she alerted, while concerned for his well-being, did not consider him to be at immediate risk of suicide.
Mr Rathband was found hanging at his home in Blyth, Northumberland, on February 29 2012, 20 months after he was shot while on duty.
Coroner Eric Armstrong said: "The circumstances of his injuries (inflicted by Moat) are well-known.
"It is difficult, if not impossible, not to view the infliction of those injuries as the first step in a series which culminated in his death."
The three-day inquest, at Newcastle's Moot Hall, heard his wife put up with previous affairs, but his last - with 7/7 London bombing survivor Lisa French - effectively ended the marriage.
Mrs Rathband broke the news to her husband prior to him flying out for a holiday in Australia with his identical twin Darren.
While on holiday, Mr Rathband made desperate attempts to contact his wife, ringing her up to 50 times on some days.
The messages were unpleasant, abusive and threatening, she told the hearing.
In one he pretended to be a police officer ringing to say her husband was dead.
But he would be rational and pleasant if she spoke to him directly, she told the hearing.
On another occasion he threatened to video-call his wife and kill himself while she watched.
Mrs Rathband visited him for the last time on the night he died. She said she thought he looked "awful" and decided he needed support.
But she felt she was not the right person to be with him and contacted his sister Debbie Essery in Staffordshire and his welfare officer Inspector John Heckles.
That evening, officers including Mr Heckles eventually broke into his home and found him hanging in the darkness, with music playing from his phone.

Inspire Me: Renovated San Francisco Home
The renovation of a San Francisco home includes a dressing room to die for
- « prev
- next »
- 1 of 15
As one of San Francisco's venerated historic residences, the 1913 Beaux Arts-style home of Dr. Elisa Stephens has a reputation to uphold. And while the home's public spaces were deserving of its "jewel box of Nob Hill" status, its dark, dreary pine-paneled top floor was in dire need of a transformation.
Luckily, as president of the Academy of Art University, Elisa had some useful contacts. When it was time to transform her upper floor from bland to beauteous, she enlisted designer Antonio Martins, a 2004 graduate of the university's master's program in interior design, to spearhead the process.
As the only woman in the house (husband Ed and son Richard, 6, make up the male contingent), Elisa craved a room of her own--a place that offered respite from work and--let's be honest here--a spot to stash her shoes. While nearly perfect, this gem of a manse had a serious lack of closet space. Shoes and accessories were scattered in closets throughout the house. "We actually went from room to room and counted her shoes so we knew how much closet space she'd need," laughs Martins.
With only slightly fewer reflective surfaces than the Hall of Mirrors at Versailles, the new master closet/dressing room is as refined as it is functional. No open spaces here. Clothing, shoes, and accessories are all neatly tucked out of view. Antiqued mirrored doors conceal clutter while visually enlarging the space. Organization never looked so sophisticated.
The newly renovated space contains not only the glamorous dressing room but also a casually elegant sitting room and soul-soothing master bathroom. "I used to call it the knotty-pine room," laughs Elisa. "Now it's my sanctuary."
Every detail was meticulously designed to correlate with those on lower levels. "Elisa's vision was that this space should flow with the rest of the house," says Martins. "Downstairs, neoclassical details fit the environment. We wanted to continue that refined, classic feeling here. Every detail was considered with that in mind."
Pine paneling was replaced with picture moldings and paint the color of crème fraîche. Egg-and-dart molding was added--a nod to similar moldings in the rest of the house. Wood floors were designed to match those downstairs. A travertine fireplace mantel anchors the sitting room and is flanked by symmetrical niches that house a kitchenette and desk--each cleverly concealed behind bifurcated white-painted doors with handsome mesh details. Fabrics are over-the-top elegant--velvets, suzanis, and silks prevail. A cozy conservatory off the sitting room provides a rooftop view of San Francisco.
"I'd always read about ladies that had their own room with a view," says Elisa. "And now I have one of my own."

Martins incorporated materials such as travertine and Carrara marble to lend a sleek yet elegant atmosphere.
Designer Antonio Martins created symmetrical niches to accommodate a home office and kitchenette. "The key is to keep the design functional," says Martins. "Add lights that turn on as the doors open, hidden electrical outlets for easy access, and small niches for recessed keyboards and screens."
Another important point: "Add doors to keep everything organized and out of sight!"
Homeowner Elisa Stephens: "The house is so detailed. To have the audacity to try to match it was daunting. It had to be honest."
Designer Antonio Martins.

A crucial input to any business relationship/transaction – community/clientele/friend to friend/within a family – whichever, or all of the above.
How does it apply to networking?
Here's a simple sketch – if any questions from those who read this blog, please feel free to ask, and would be glad to go into more depth.
High level: Be sure you are mentally prepared to expect to give and give before you anticipate/expect a return. However, once you do receive, you've cemented a long lasting business connection which won't be based on a mere transaction, but on deeper bonds of trust, service, and selflessness.
Mid level: Get out there into the public and expand your network. Your network is not simply there for you; not even close! It is there to share with others in your network whom may need a product, service, or just a friend. Think 'Level 4' ( Interdependence ) and eschew/abandon 'Level 3' ( Independent ) and Level 2 ( 'Dependent' ) – you'll find that the 'air' in this sphere of building and bonding is far longer lasting than when you look at someone as simply a transaction, or a sale as a utility.
Finally, at the lower level ( this is mostly geared for where I live geographically – please study ( go well beyond merely "googling" ) the groups in your area to see what's available for you)
Options where there will be a LOT of people, and connecting for win:win will be more challenging, however, definitely possible:
* CBus Business First (Breakfasts/6-8x/year, Friday mornings)
* Big Fish Networking ( periodic events, mostly evenings, and also certain mornings )
Add't options which are in smaller settings which are free form and not structured :
** DelawareO ( every 3rd Wednesday evening , location varies )
** COBB ( every third Weds. morning )
Micro options – very small groups which can range from just 2-3, to upwards of a dozen or two. Very informal, and free form like the above
** Meetup.Com ( many many different options – can either be an organizer, or just someone who attends )
Structured Options – These are pay to join and usually have some structure/scripting and a very firm time frame for meeting starts/ends.
** BNI ( Dr. Misner, founded 1985 -groups all over the country)
( there are also several others in this same space – Goldstar, AmSpirit, & Synergy National )
** Six Degrees Networking
With all of these, be sure to take the principles of win:win, as taught by Covey 20 odd years ago, bring Level 4 thinking ( Tribal Leadership ) and understand the crucial value of tribes and community building ( Godin & Block, respectively ). If you have the right mindset, you will meet so many new friends and grow your business all at the same time!
All best, always. Thank you for reading.

Glymph Properties Can Help Local investors Find The Best Riverside Investment Homes
Thanks to popular investing and flipping shows on networks like HGTV, FYI, and DIY, real estae investors world over are looking to get started. As very visible, active local Riverside expert investors newbs, newbies ask us all the time to share our secrets.
Fortunately, we love to share 🙂
One of the biggest questions we get from neighborhood investors is "How to find very good investment propert in Riverside ?"
Since the turn around of the housing market and the near disappearance of foreclosure deals, investors are having to become more creative in their hunt for quality local Riverside investment property deals.
We source our properties from a variety of marketing routes… online, offline, etc… so there is no one way that is the best way to find good investment properties in Riverside .
The info below will walk you through some of the things you can do to find great Riverside investment properties to add to your portfolio.
Most investors don't share their "secrets" because they see everyone as opponents and are afraid that they'll be used against them by competitors.
I guess it's a good thing that we feel that the more we help, the more information we put out there, the more business will come our way. Working together with other investors allows us to do things we can't do along.
We want to improve the quality of investment in Riverside , and help to restore the prestige and reduce the stigma associated with investing. We share what we've learned and our philosophies in the hope of showing investors the "right way". Basically, we are all investing in the same communities, so it makes sense to do it right.
To get the best investment properties there are only a few core tenants to understand.
One, you have to think long term.
Real estate isn't like the stock market. It's where people live, work and play – not just numbers on a screen. It's nearly impossible to make a massive amount of cash in a short-term real estate deal, those come but they are few and far between.
People have been investing in real estate since the dawn of time, so don't expect that your "new" approach is going to blow the competition away. Sorry to bust your bubble, but chances are that it's been tried before and there's a reason it's not that prevalent. Learn from the past and other investors' experience, don't try to re-create the wheel.
It also means that if you don't find the local investment properties you're looking for right away… just know that this isn't a sprint… it's a marathon.
There's always more than one way to "skin a cat" so when it comes to being the best Riverside real estate investor you can be, having as many property sources as possible is key. Feel free to add our Riverside Investment Property Buyers **List** to give yourself as many options as possible. Making money in real estate can really be boiled down to buying property at the right price… We have better than "right" prices!
This is important… Relationships are crucial. You want to find the best Riverside investment properties have a great realtionship with local brokers, realtors, lenders, title companies, and investors.
I guarantee that the Riverside investment world is so much smaller than you think.
Most investors don't realize that there are really only a handful of major wholesalers, brokers, and investors who conduct most of the business in the Riverside market.
You may have been in the same boat as most investors and hadn't realized this, but that's because the key players usually work with the same people on a regular basis. Unless you have occasion to work with them chances are you'll never get to see how lucrative their friendship can be. Trust me when I say this… It's well worth your time and effort to identify them. If you can… Learn From Them, Work With Them. Make yourself useful- bring them a good opportunity and let them reciprocate. Once you develop a good network, they'll become your best source of high ROI deals.
How do you form a relationship with them? We'd advise going to your local REIA ( Real Estate Investors Association) and talking with the most active investors there.. Ask the most active folks there which good ( by good I mean actually have deals priced at wholesale vs retail- there's a huge difference)wholesalers in Riverside are active- get their info- and make sure to find out which realtors, and title companies they work with. As a matter of fact- let anyone you meet at the REIA know that you are looking to buy Riverside investment properties that fit your parameters- you never know who your next deal is gonna come from. Understanding the age old concept of "it's not what you know, it's who you know" can make finding the best Riverside deals easy. Relationships are a key factor to getting some of the best deals on Riverside investment properties before anyone else has a chance to purchase them.
Who should you form relationships with( Hopefully all the crazy symbols will really make you pay attention ;-))?
>>> The most well known investor friendly Riverside real estate brokers>>>
>>>Real estate appraisers who work with properties similar to your ideal properties>>>
>>>The best few property wholesalers in the area>>>
>>>The best Riverside property rehabbers/flippers>>>
>>>Title agents that work with investment properties a great deal>>>
Third, identify your ideal investments.
Investing in Riverside is the same as investing in any other city on the planet, you have to be focused. You have to determine your niche- focus on what makes you money. Some people make millions just in raw land or store fronts.
Others focus on residential rentals, while others deal strictly with retail. Take your time… do your homework- evaluate the various segments of the Riverside market to see which opportunities are really the best for you – and not just the best marketed. Once you find exactly what you want to invest in, you can develop a plan to find out who currently owns it and make sure that they know to call you when they want to sell that property.
This takes a good deal of work, but it's a tried-and-true method for creating long-term wealth.
Last, but not least…. use TECHNOLOGY
Sign up for our list of exceptional investment properties, and we'll alert you instantly when we find a great investment. Glymph Properties frequently sources investment properties for deep discounts, secure them and then sell them for a discounted rate to the people on our list who are ready, willing and able to invest. There's other ways to get notified about properties on the open market – you should get familiar with searching the mls with the rest of the herd, because every once in a blue moon a great deal shows up.
We don't deal with average deals – we only pass along great deals to our partner investors. We're not real estate brokers, and our business is a niche within Riverside .

I've started getting our house ready for Thanksgiving. We will be having 13 guests, so I set two separate tables a "kids' table" and an "adults' table." Mind you, the kids' table's youngest guest is 23... except for my 7-month-old niece, Sam.
|Adults' Table
The kids' table is set in my office, adjacent to the dining room. I think this will work great because the two groups will be close enough to chat. I'm using tree branch clippings from our pear tree - it still has great fall colors and some berries. I'm so excited to use my new Spode Woodlands china collection.
I am not a "matchy-matchy" person. I love the feel of mixing and matching all of these wooden chairs. To me, mixing all of these chairs and finishes creates a "grandma's house" vibe. I found the table at KC River Market Antiques Co. It was $46 and is solid walnut. It is a drop-leaf table, so I'll be able to collapse the sides and use it as a console table after the holidays.
I love the Fall and Winter seasons - the coziness of the harvest season is something I dream of all year long. I decided to swap out all of my hanging prints with season appropriate art. I printed them from a vintage prints website... so it was free.
Vintage Spode Woodland Turkey plates on the wall... pheasants in frames.
I added a rust, orange and brown throw to make my 'light and airy' living room feel more cozy. The framed botanical prints were inspired by the artwork we saw everywhere in italy. I used tips from "Good Bones Great Pieces" for framing the prints.
Almost done... more photos to come!

Dog looking for new home after owner dies of fungal meningitis
Posted By elaine on November 6, 2012
ELKHART, Ind. (AP) – Relatives of an 89-year-old woman who was the first person to die in Indiana from a multi-state fungal meningitis outbreak are looking for a new home for her dog.
The poodle mix named Lucky lived with Pauline Burema at her Cassopolis, Mich., home until she was hospitalized with meningitis after getting a tainted back pain injection.
Burema died Oct. 19 at a relative's Bristol, Ind., home.
Carol Snyder tells The Elkhart Truth (http://bit.ly/SR0vtP ) her mother had a special companionship with Lucky. The dog became Burema's faithful companion after her husband died in August 2010, but now he needs a new home and new companions.
Lucky has been staying with Burema's grandson at his home near Union, Mich., but Snyder says the family can no longer care for him.Share this Post[?]

For 21 years, 34-year-old Wang Youping of China's Shaanxi Province hasn't been able to shut his mouth due to his giant tongue.
The muscles in his 25-centimeter-long, 10-centimeter-wide, and 7-centimeter-thick tongue have grown such that the organ has squeezed aside his teeth and made shutting his mouth impossible. Explains The Mirror of his macroglossia:
From the age of six his tongue and face began to swell and by the time he was 13, Mr Youping's tongue had expanded so much that he was unable to close his mouth properly. Since then he has also been unable to speak clearly, eat normally or breathe comfortably. There is also a high risk that the vessels in his tongue could rupture and lead to a potentially fatal haemorrhage.
The piece doesn't specify what disorder has caused his tongue to balloon in size, but the genetic disorder Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome can cause specific portions of the body, such as the tongue, to grow at an accelerated and uneven rate (Mr. Youping was also born with an enlarged left ear and lips). He's scheduled for five surgeries over three years to reduce his tongue to manageable proportions.

text: Some of you saw the Diary Of A Mad Roboticist! post 2 months ago where Andrew and I were getting ready to fly over to Korea and do some humanoid competing. As usual we were biting off way more than we could chew and were building robots up until hours before leaving on a 22 hour trip. It turned out we were being over zealous as usual too, because the competitions were way more chill than what we expected. So we spent much more of our time meeting people and exploring the wonders of Korea than competing. Andrew did get to do some exhibition matches with the local college students and Giger fell over a lot. Andrew also got a lot of R&D time in with a future humanoid code named Shadow Blade (Video) (all RX-24F servos!) which should be on shelves in 2011. Andrew ALSO did a lot of work on the RX-24/28 PLM robot also coming out in 2011 which will be a "soldier" series bot specifically designed for fighting. Coming later-ish maybe… a 3rd video of Andrew and I exploring Korea. That video needs, um, editing due to copious amounts of soju being consumed during the making.

It is increasingly clear that the economy has forced enterprises to rethink their traditional cost models and minimize their capital expenditures in favor of pay-as-you-go models; accordingly cloud computing, in any of its forms (internal, external, hybrid) is here to stay.
The size of data sets continues to grow exponentially and once data leaves a client's data centers, the ability of a cloud provider to meet the client's security, privacy and compliance requirements becomes a key issue.
This is where Unisys, with its recently announced four-part cloud computing strategy, comes in.
In an interview this week with SYS-CON's Cloud Computing Journal, Rich Marcello - President, Unisys Systems & Technology - described how the company is delivering on the first two parts this year beginning with its Cloud Transformation Services, announced June 30, followed by the Unisys Secure Cloud Solution which will become available on July 31.
Here's how Marcello summarized what Unisys is doing right now:
"A lot of vendors talk security in the cloud but we've tackled this issue head-on and believe we have an advantage. Security is inherent in all Unisys operations and offerings and, like Data Center Transformation and Outsourcing, is one of Unisys four key areas of strength.
We address security by ensuring operational excellence. Unisys Secure Cloud services teams operate ISO 20000-certified delivery processes that are ITIL V3-compliant. All of this protection is delivered in independently audited and ISO 270001-certified delivery centers. We utilize security best practices - a layered multi-vendor approach to security with Intrusion Detection and Prevention Services (IDPS), firewall management, 24x7 security monitoring, advanced correlation and analytics, auditable logs, and so forth.
From a cloud perspective, our commitment is to provide a security framework that is as good as or better than any clients could establish for themselves. We do all of this and more with the addition of our patent-pending Stealth technology that allows private communities of interest based on FIPS 140-2, 256-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption and cloaks the data with proprietary 'bit splitting'."
That "Stealth technology" Marcello referred to allows different groups in a multi-tenant client environment to share the same IT infrastructure without fear of exposing one client's data to another, Marcello pointed out, making it an important differentiator.
Dr Michael A. Salsburg, a Unisys Distinguished Engineer who has published and presented over 60 papers internationally in the fields of infrastructure and business service modeling, management and optimization, recently wrote a whitepaper titled "The Perfect Storm for Enterprise-Class Clouds" which also referred to security based on Stealth, as follows:
"For data-in-motion (data that is transmitted through the cloud network), Stealth not only provides a higher level of encryption than the standard approach (which is called Secure Socket Layer or SSL), but it also breaks apart the information into multiple streams. In this way, if another user of the cloud was monitoring the communication, that user would not only have to decrypt the stream but would also have to find the other streams that are part of the original message.
The term "Stealth" refers to the fact that, once a customer is "Stealthed" within its own community of interest, the actual existence of the communication path cannot be discovered by observers outside that community of interest. For data-at-rest, such as data stored on disk, the same techniques apply. The data is split into multiple stripes, and each stripe is encrypted. For both data-in-motion and data-at-rest, Stealth provides a new level of security and isolation that does not require changes to the application or hardware. Its simplified approach to isolation ensures that other communities of interest cannot detect that the data path exists, thus mitigating many of the requirements for network-based isolation through virtual LANs and other current techniques."
Salsburg's current focus within Unisys is the realization of real-time infrastructure management. Marcello noted, in the interview already quoted, that virtualization and automation are fundamental to cloud computing and for Unisys. "Our Real-Time Infrastructure technology powers our cloud," Marcello told Cloud Computing Journal's Jeremy Geelan.
"Virtualization is an enabler that helps us supply only the needed amount of IT resources based on the workload demand of the business at any given time. Automation adds elasticity to the environment, reduces the time needed for changes, and eliminates or at least simplifies the manual intervention in a potentially rapidly changing environment," he continued.
The whitepaper written by Salsburg ends with a useful vision statement which is worth quoting in full:
"Over the last 60 years Unisys has had the vision to develop and utilize new technologies and services for the benefit of the industry and our customers. Our mainframe systems have been using virtualization and automation technologies for over 20 years. We have taken the deep engineering capabilities in delivering highly available, high transaction systems with complex workloads and applied them to the evolving and consolidating marketplace.
Our ability to deliver RTEs and RTIs whether in-sourced or outsourced helps us provide the perfect platform for the emerging "cloud computing" environment. Our mission is to provide customers with the most open, cost effective and secure IT service environment by helping them understand, plan, implement and manage their IT infrastructure their way. Unisys is uniquely positioned to provide cloud computing that is secure enough and scalable enough for enterprise-class computing."
Marcello said on June 30 when the Unisys portfolio of solutions was announced that Unisys clients, while seeing great value in moving enterprise applications and data to the cloud, felt they had lacked the comprehensive security to make them confident in actually doing so.
Security, Marcello stressed, is in the DNA of Unisys, just as data center transformation and application modernization are its heritage.
Outsourcing services tailored to the client's specific business needs is a Unisys forté, he noted. "Our cloud computing strategy draws on all those core capabilities to help clients break through the barriers to adoption and gain a full range of options for cloud services while safeguarding their operations and lowering IT costs," Marcello said.
When asked by Cloud Computing Journal how an IT manager should decide if cloud computing is right for their business and which workloads to move, Marcello replied that it is really about understanding what makes the most business sense for the client and what they are trying to accomplish, adding:
"As part of the June 30th announcement, we have Unisys Cloud Transformation Services, available now, which allow clients to plan and migrate to the type of cloud environment that best meets their business goals. These services help clients assess what application workloads can be moved to the cloud, how that can be done, and the technology, financial and security implications of their choices."
Salsburg summarized those services in his whitepaper as follows:
"The services start with an assessment where the target data center is evaluated to discover workloads that could benefit from cloud computing. Once they are discovered, the software and storage requirements are evaluated regarding a shift into the cloud. Unisys does not require that applications be re-factored or rewritten.
The assessment services produce deliverables that lay out a low-risk plan to transform from the current state to a future state where the workload can take advantage of the key cloud attributes. Because no changes are required to the workload, there are no unique APIs to lock in the workload. With the Unisys Secure Cloud, you can receive customized services where your unique requirements and computing approach are retained."
Over the next several months, Unisys intends to launch additional solutions that give clients enhanced options in implementing cloud services.
Unisys plans a "cloud-in-a-box" solution as a comprehensive IT infrastructure package, aimed at enabling what it calls "quick and cost-effective implementation of a private cloud." This solution will include virtualization capabilities, automation of ITIL best practices for service management, and Unisys Converged Remote Infrastructure Management capabilities, with Unisys Stealth solution ("as an option for extreme security," the company says).
Unisys also plans to deliver "hybrid" cloud technologies that provide what it believes is the best of managed and dedicated services by combining public and private cloud capabilities.

2013 NAIA Men?s Cross Country Runner of the Week - No. 4
By: Sam Knehans, Communications & Sports Information Intern
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Paul Adams of Oregon Tech has been named the NAIA Men's Cross Country National Runner of the Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Adams was chosen for his performance during the week of Sept. 30 – Oct. 6 and was selected out of a pool of conference, independent, and unaffiliated grouping award winners.
Adams, a sophomore from Klamath Falls, Ore., placed second in the 201-runner Gold Division field—made up of NAIA, Junior College, Club and Unattached runners—at the 39th Annual Charles Bowles Willamette Invitational, hosted by NCAA Division III Willamette (Ore.), on Oct. 5 in Salem, Ore. Adams covered the 8-kilometer course in 24:19.6, recording one of the fastest times in Oregon Tech history and finishing less than two seconds behind individual titlist Ryan Cassidy of Victoria (B.C.). With their respective times, Cassidy and Adams would have also topped the meet's Cardinal Division, made up of runners from NCAA Division I, Division II and Division III programs.

Maccabi FOX Tel Aviv came into the 2016-17 campaign with a star-studded roster and great hopes, but a preseason injury to Quincy Miller proved to be a sign of things to come. The team would go through five head coaches and deal with more injuries and off-court issues in slumping to its worst EuroLeague finish of the century. The EuroLeague season began with a road loss at EA7 Emporio Armani Milan and a home defeat against Real Madrid, after which Coach Erez Edelshtein was dismissed. His assistant, Rami Hadar, took control and promptly led the team to back-to-back wins. A three-game winning streak in November, which included victories over the two teams that would reach the EuroLeague championship game, Fenerbahce Istanbul and Olympiacos Piraeus, gave Maccabi a 5-4 record and a share of fourth place. But that momentum would be short-lived as Maccabi dropped nine of its next 10 games and fell into the league cellar. In that time, Hadar stepped down, his assistant Lior Lubin took his place briefly and eventually Ainars Bagatskis was hired. Even as Maccabi spiraled downward and out of the playoff picture, the team spirit shined through with victories over playoff-bound teams Darussafaka Dogus Istanbul, Baskonia Vitoria Gasteiz and Fenerbahce, the last of which came in Istanbul on a Sylven Landesberg buzzer-beater. Maccabi ended the EuroLeague season in 14th place with a 10-20 record. Arik Shivek was handed the reins as head coach for the Israeli playoffs.
A signature team in European basketball, Maccabi enters every season aiming for greatness. Over the years, Maccabi has relied on the tried-and-true formula of complementing the best Israeli players with talented, committed stars from abroad. Players like Tal Brody, Miki Berkowitz, Motti Aroesti, Kevin Magee, Doron Jamchy, Earl Williams and Aulcie Perry and more recently Sarunas Jasikevicius, Anthony Parker and Nikola Vujcic belong to the elite of all-time European basketball greats. Maccabi won its first EuroLeague title in 1977 and did so again in 1981 with Berkowitz as the big star. Maccabi had to wait until 2001 to lift the SuproLeague trophy, which broke a string of five continental final appearances that ended the wrong way. The next title came soon after; Derrick Sharp's miracle three-pointer to survive the 2004 Top 16 has become one of the classic shots in basketball history and simply unforgettable for any Maccabi fan. Once in the 2004 Final Four, Maccabi turned to record breaking with an outstanding 118-point title game performance to batter Skipper Bologna. The next year Maccabi became the first team to repeat as EuroLeague champion since Split in 1991. Jasikevicius, Parker, Tal Burstein, Maceo Baston and Vujcic, coached by Pini Gershon, became a classic lineup in European basketball history. Maccabi got back to the EuroLeague championship game for the third year in a row in 2006, but CSKA stood in the way of a three-peat. CSKA remained a thorn in Maccabi's side, downing Maccabi in the 2007 playoffs and 2008 title game. Maccabi did not return to the Final Four again until 2011, when it got past Real Madrid in the semifinal, but Panathinaikos prevailed in the title game. After playoff losses in 2012 against Panathinaikos in a series for the ages, and against Madrid a year later, a David Blatt-coached yellow-and-blue reversed the trend in 2013-14 with several dramatic late-season wins to climb to the top of Europe. Maccabi overcame CSKA Moscow in the semifinals and Real Madrid in the finals to bring the trophy back to its passionate fans. A brilliant campaign also saw Maccabi win the Israeli League and Cup before coach Blatt left. The past three seasons have been below Maccabi's usual standards; though it won three straight Israeli Cups, Maccabi was denied the Israeli crown in three straight seasons for the first time in league history, while also missing the EuroLeague playoffs. That disappointment will fuel Maccabi this year as it looks to shine again at both the domestic and European levels.

Diamondback terrapin populations are declining in Maryland to satisfy demand in China.
Turtles are a popular ingredient in many Chinese meals and Traditional Chinese Medicine products. Though a number of scientific studies document that it is impossible to kill a turtle humanely, over 20 million turtles are consumed in China each year. To meet this demand, the country is home to more than 1,000 turtle farms.
While farmed turtles suffer just as much as wild turtles when killed, turtle farming is believed to be a means of saving Asia's wild turtle populations. In the February 2007 issue of Conservation Biology, however, scientists report that turtle farmers are purchasing wild-caught turtles to improve their breeding stock, placing a new significant pressure on China's turtle species, almost all of which are threatened. To make matters worse, some farmers are operating illegal turtle laundering operations, selling wild-caught turtles marked as being farm-raised.
Unfortunately, China's appetite for the animals is now threatening turtles in the United States. According to the World Chelonian Trust, more than 700,000 wild-caught US turtles were exported from 2003 to 2005, with most going to Asian turtle farms and markets. In Maryland, the diamondback terrapin population is declining—reportedly to satisfy China's taste for turtle. This sad reality has forced the state to ban the capture of wild terrapins.
In Texas, hundreds of thousands of turtles are being trapped each year to be exported to Asia. According to US Fish and Wildlife Service data, 256,638 turtles were exported from the Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport alone between 2002 and 2005. This relentless collection recently prompted Texas A&M University professor Dr. Larry Fitzgerald to tell the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission that, "the worldwide crisis in turtles is creating a large sucking sound from those areas that still have animals." In response to this threat, the Commission has approved a proposed ban on the commercial collection of all turtles.

I've come accross a question that I just can't get my head around!
Question: Consider the 'Card' class you wrote in the previous exercise. What Object methods should each of these classes override?
The 'Card' class:
public class Card2 { private int rank; private int suit; public final static int DIAMONDS = 1; public final static int CLUBS = 2; public final static int HEARTS = 3; public final static int SPADES = 4; public final static int ACE = 1; public final static int DEUCE = 2; public final static int THREE = 3; public final static int FOUR = 4; public final static int FIVE = 5; public final static int SIX = 6; public final static int SEVEN = 7; public final static int EIGHT = 8; public final static int NINE = 9; public final static int TEN = 10; public final static int JACK = 11; public final static int QUEEN = 12; public final static int KING = 13; public Card2(int rank, int suit) { this.rank = rank; this.suit = suit; } public int getSuit() { return suit; } public int getRank() { return rank; } public static boolean isValidRank(int rank) { return ACE <= rank && rank <= KING; } public static boolean isValidSuit(int suit) { return DIAMONDS <= suit && suit <= SPADES; } public static String rankToString(int rank) { switch (rank) { case ACE: return "Ace"; case DEUCE: return "Deuce"; case THREE: return "Three"; case FOUR: return "Four"; case FIVE: return "Five"; case SIX: return "Six"; case SEVEN: return "Seven"; case EIGHT: return "Eight"; case NINE: return "Nine"; case TEN: return "Ten"; case JACK: return "Jack"; case QUEEN: return "Queen"; case KING: return "King"; default: //Handle an illegal argument. There are generally two ways //to handle invalid arguments, throwing an exception (see //the section on Handling Exceptions): throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid rank " + rank); //or //return null; } } public static String suitToString(int suit) { String result = ""; switch (suit) { case DIAMONDS: return "Diamonds"; case CLUBS: return "Clubs"; case HEARTS: return "Hearts"; case SPADES: return "Spades"; default: throw new IllegalArgumentException("Invalid suit " + suit); } } public static void main(String... args) { new Card2(ACE, DIAMONDS); new Card2(KING, SPADES); } }
The answer: Card should override equals, hashCode, and toString.
The answer code provided is identical to the above with the adddition of the following:
public boolean equals(Object obj) { if (obj instanceof Card2) { if (((Card2)obj).getRank() == this.rank && ((Card2)obj).getSuit() == this.suit) { return true; } else { return false; } } else { return false; } } public int hashCode() { return ((suit-1)*13)+rank; } public String toString() { return rankToString(this.rank) + " of " + suitToString(this.suit); }
I understand what the code is doing but I don't understand why! Why would you add this in? For a moment I thought the question should have read "...What Object methods COULD each of these classes override?". But I can't beleive that Oracle would have miss-worded the question and if it had read 'COULD' then I would have thought the finalize() should be in there as well. I can understand that IF I wanted to compare Objects then it would make sence to override the equals() which in turn requires the hashCode() to be overriden (not sure about the toString()). I have read the Oracle page regaring this (Object as a Superclass (The Java Tutorials > Learning the Java Language > Interfaces and Inheritance)) over and over again but I just don't get it. Any help would be massively appreaciated.

One year ago Bethel University's football squad rained on
Augsburg College's homecoming parade with a 21-20 victory, but the
Royals refused to let the Auggies return the favor Saturday, as BU
held on to defeat Augsburg 31-28 during Bethel's homecoming game at
Royal Stadium.
The No. 5-ranked Royals (4-0, 2-0 MIAC) held Augsburg quarterback Ayrton Scott to just 276 total yards of offense, which is quite the feat as Scott led the nation with an average of 390.3 yards per game. The Auggies (3-1, 2-1 MIAC) limited Brandon Marquardt, who had been averaging 14.0 points per game, but it was Marshall Klitzke that stepped up Saturday with 109 yards on 24 carries and two touchdowns — one rushing and one receiving.
Peterson and Reese
Walker started the scoring in Saturday's
contest, as the two connected for a 23-yard touchdown that capped
an 11-play, 82-yard drive in Bethel's opening series. Peterson's
pump fake created space between Walker and the closest defender,
and the ball was placed perfectly into Walker's hands in the back
of the end zone.
The Auggies proved why they were unbeaten coming
into Saturday's matchup, as they marched down the field on the
ensuing drive in 3:34 and scored a 16-yard touchdown via a Phil
Putratz rush. Augsburg, who didn't convert a two-point conversion
attempt in 2012 that could've won the Auggies the game against the
Royals, went for two on the point after and converted with a fake
PAT that found the tight end open in the end zone.
Trailing for the first time this year, Bethel immediately went back to work—scoring a touchdown on the very next series. Marshall Klitzke carried the ball into the end zone—this time from three yards out—completing a 10-play, 68-yard drive that lasted 4:57.
The Royals had the opportunity to create space later in the frame, but an interception at the Augsburg 30-yard-line thrown by Erik Peterson — his first of the year — gave the Auggies the ball. Following a 44-yard return on the interception, Augsburg then went three plays and 21 yards to score the equalizer with 9:43 left in the half. A missed PAT attempt kept the score even at 14-14.
Neither team put up any more points throughout the second quarter, resulting in a tie at the half. However, the third quarter belonged to the Royals. Bethel received the kick to start the half and drove 65 yards on the opening series, which was finished with a seven-yard touchdown pass from Peterson to Klitzke.
Peterson wasn't done throwing, as the Orono, Minn., native helped the Royals score seven more on their next possession. Bethel's quarterback finished the possession with a 38-yard heave to senior receiver Jay Hilbrands to put BU ahead 28-14.
Bethel's defense was sensational in the third quarter, holding the Auggies scoreless, which gave the Royals some necessary cushion. BU finished its scoring with what turned out to be the game-winning field goal by Andrew O'Reilly with 13:31 remaining in the game to put Bethel ahead 31-14.
"We're a pretty close-knit group and you feed off each
other," Bethel coach Steve Johnson said. "Our offense came out and
had a great drive, a pretty long one, then we got them
(three-and-out) and went again. You kind of have the game under
The Auggies didn't go away quietly, though, scoring 14 unanswered points in the final minutes of the game. Yet, a gutsy pass from Erik Peterson to freshman tight end Drew Neuville on third and eight with under two minutes remaining sealed the victory for the Royals.
Bethel finished the game with 23 first downs and 401 yards of total offense. Erik Peterson finished the day 18-of-26 with 216 yards passing, three touchdowns, and two interceptions. Peterson found eight different receivers, including Jay Hilbrands, who caught three passes for 51 yards and a touchdown and Reese Walker, who caught the 23-yard touchdown in the second drive of the game.
Marshall Klitzke led all rushers with 109 yards and a touchdown, while Brandon Marquardtcarried the ball 13 times for 67 yards. Augsburg's Ayrton Scott rushed for 90 yards, while throwing for 186 on 19-of-27 passing with two interceptions.
Josh Treimer led the Royals defensively with 10 tackles and one forced fumble, while Kevin Flaherty had nine tackles, including one for loss, and recovered Treimer's forced fumble.Landon Mathis and Ben Wahlquist also had eight tackles each. Will Van Duzer and David Morgan both recorded an interception.
Bethel will face an unbeaten Concordia College next week in Moorhead, Minn. The Cobbers, who will be celebrating homecoming this week, fell victim to Bethel in BU's homecoming game last year, in large part due to a late penalty with just a few ticks remaining on the clock. The Royals scored a touchdown and two-point conversion with no time left to defeat the Cobbs 15-14.

Congressional staffers at risk
For members of Congress, the sequester will hit very close to home.
With nine days to go until the massive across-the-board budget cuts take effect, all 535 members of Congress must also come up with contingency plans. From the office of House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) to that of the most obscure freshman, lawmakers must start prepping their staff for the very real possibility of layoffs and salary cuts.
Story Continued Below
"The sequester will in fact hit members and their offices, and leadership offices, and committees," Boehner told reporters last week. "And in addition to that, other Capitol offices — whether it be the Architect of the Capitol, or the chief administrative officer — all of those offices are subject to the sequester as well."
( Also on POLITICO: Obama's sequestration strategy: Shame)
"We're prepared to deal with it, and I hope that it wouldn't happen."
But while members are busy making tentative plans if the sequester does hit, as many expect it will, no one knows just how much they'll have to trim.
There's one place in the congressional budget that definitely won't get hit: the salary for members themselves. Congress can't cut its own pay without specifically voting to do so and members' salaries aren't subject to the sequester. The salaries of Hill staffers can be cut, however, and staffers can be furloughed or even laid off. Some members are already preparing for that possibility should the sequester hit.
( Also on POLITICO: DOD to warn Hill about furloughs)
The latest information available from an Office of Management and Budget report in September said that all office salaries and operating expenses would face an across-the-board 8.2 percent cut for fiscal year 2013, which would amount to roughly $101 million for all House offices and $32 million for all Senate offices. All congressional offices — from leadership to committees to personal offices — would be hit with equal cuts.
But updated numbers have not yet been released, so lawmakers and their staff are working with outdated figures with the March 1 sequester deadline looming.
The fiscal cliff deal in January lowered the amount to be sequestered for 2013 by $24 billion, meaning the 8.2 percent projected in August for the legislative branch is slightly higher than the number that could ultimately be implemented.
With the clock ticking, lawmakers on both sides of the aisle still fiercely argue they don't want the sequester to be implemented. House Republicans point to their votes last year for a sequester replacement plan as evidence they have done more than enough to stop it. Obama on Tuesday dubbed it a "meat cleaver approach" that would "jeopardize our military readiness, it will eviscerate job creating investments in education and energy and medical research." He also accused Republicans of not coming to the table to solve the problem.
