This is the fourth of a four-part series on text analytics.
All those involved with text analytics agree that the need for tools to analyze unstructured text is only going to grow.
Agencies are using new tools and powerful processing to analyze terabytes of data in multiple formats to improve airline safety, hunt for terrorists, detect bio threats and more. Find out how.
"The government is struggling in all organizations with how to harness big data," said Fiona McNeill, text analytics product marketing manager at SAS. "You don't have to boil the ocean when you have text analytics. You can extract just what is relevant to begin with and then investigate that for the value."
Chris Biow, federal CTO at MarkLogic, agrees. "Any agency in the government that deals in any respect with the public should be to using text analytics now," he told GCN. "It's maybe only being used now in 20 percent of the cases where it should. It's as broad as treaty compliance versus watching public sentiment toward the United States overseas to predict a riot. All of that is out there."
Unfortunately, the reluctance of public sector organizations to talk about their implementations of text analytics means there are few case studies to guide those interested in possibly implementing it.
"I think a lot of the stuff is in a toolkit phase," said Jamie Popkin, managing vice president at Gartner Group. He advises those considering implementing text analytics to talk first to their existing vendors. "Much of this technology comes from vendors that you're already doing business with," he said. "Be careful about platform proliferation. You probably already have three or four vendors you're doing business with that all could offer you text analytics as part of their existing applications."
MarkLogic's Biow said the most critical thing in initial implementations of text analytics is to manage expectations because machines still are not nearly as good at analyzing text as humans are. "The machine's advantage is that it can do all the text," he explained. "[But] you don't have enough human beings to read it all. The machines will make a pass-over and humans can then refine that. The machines are getting better in terms of the complexity and detail that they can extract, but not necessarily in terms of the quality. That's why it's important to set expectations."
"The best practice here," Biow said, "is setting reasonable expectations. And results can definitely be improved as your users, library scientists and text analytics vendors start working together."

Lamar to announce Pat Knight as new basketball coach today at 3 p.m.
Knight, who is the son of legendary college coach Bobby Knight, was the head coach at Texas Tech but was fired on March 7 after going 13-19 this season, which included a 10th place finish in the Big 12 with a 5-11 record.
Knight, 40, took over at Tech from his father midway through the 2007-08 season. He went 50-61 overall and just 16-42 in conference play. His Tech team made the post season just once and that came in 2008 when the Red Raiders advanced to the NIT Quarterfinals.
His previous head coaching stops were with the Wisconsin Blast of the International Basketball Association and the Columbus Cagerz of the United States Basketball League. He was a collegiate assistant at Indiana, Akron and Texas Tech and was also on staff with the Connecticut Pride of the CBA.
Knight also played college basketball for his father in Indiana from 1991-95.
Lamar athletic director Larry Tidwell narrowed the coaching search down to two candidates on Monday — Knight and Alvin Brooks.

A conventional briefcase is unnecessary for most people these days because they don't lug around thaaaaaat many papers anymore. What workerbees do keep affixed to their sides are laptops. A properly-outfitted case, like this Tanner Krolle one, would do fine.
Once a staple of the '50s, the New York Slim Line case now has dedicated space for your computer, a charger, plus any documents or extra supplies you need to transport. Made with either tanned leather or soft calf, you'll still give off the essence of corporate luxury and prestige, like you're some sort of mid-century Manhattanite. But you'll still look aware of the fact that it's 2011. Expect to throw down about $US2000 for this one. [Tanner Krolle via Classic Driver via Born Rich]

Teach your child basic social skills.
Children need to learn the basics of social interaction: how to say hello, answer a question with a sentence and not just a word, using eye contact and the importance of letting a person finish what they say before speaking.
Don't answer for a shy child.
If your child is overly timid or shy, be supportive but don't always step in and answer for them. You may be in a shop and the person serving you asks your child a question; give your child the opportunity to answer and gently encourage them to do so if they remain quiet. Taking small steps to learn to speak for themselves is the path to overcoming shyness.
Encouraging your child to talk about their experiences.
During the drive home from school or over dinner, chat to your child about their day but rather than asking, "What did you do today" talk about what you did during the day. This will make it easier for your child to join in with what they did during their day. More often than not they will find it easier to join a conversation than start one.
Find like minded friends.
Joining an extra curricular activity will offer your child the opportunity to spend time with like-minded children and is a great way to form friendships. A team sport is another quick route to making new friends.
Small group vs big group.
Both are equally positive experiences and it all depends on your child's preference.
Offer to carpool.
This will provide casual opportunities for your child to mix with others and helps you to get to know the other parents. Often it is the parents who make the first connections when it comes to developing friendships and this takes initial pressure off the kids.
Listen don't do.
Sometimes your child just needs to talk about their feelings and experiences and don't always need or want you to solve their problems. Often it's best if you don't step in to solve peer problems, rather help your child to feel less anxious about the pressure to be popular.
Role playing.
If you have identified a problem that is getting in the way of your child making friends you can help come up with a plan for solving this by role-playing. Ask your child to play the role of the person they are having problems with and you play the role of your child. This way you can show solutions in action, which are much easier for a child to grasp than just hearing you talk.
Invite children over.
You need to make time to have children over for a play. Keep an eye on the kids without interfering and you'll soon see which children play well with your child and which ones don't. You'll also notice whether your child has any problems with interacting socially, such as being too bossy or too timid. Make it a fun experience for children to visit your home but don't appear desperate. Once you have invited a friend for a play wait until that friend invites your child to play before offering another invitation.

Sports, Football in Ghana by Alice Wonnacott
There came a point, mid April, when I began to think ahead to the summer. I had already got a trip with a couple of friends to Barcelona planned after AS-levels, but that was more of a chill-out break rather than a hard-headed action trip. I realised that I was far too late to sign up for the India World Challenge Trip that had been organised at school and I was overcome with a sudden urge to do something worthwhile with my summer. So, I quickly researched into other options with various companies.
I was looking at doing a teaching based project, in a developing country and with a well-known company. In the end Projects Abroad emerged as the one most suited to me. I had heard from various people who had been on their gap year that from their experience Projects Abroad was a very reliable, well organised and diverse organisation to go with. It was great to 'hear from the horse's mouth' that it really did live up to its reputation. Rather conveniently Projects Abroad came to my school for a gap year fair in late April so I quizzed the poor representative for a good half an hour trying to squeeze out any flaws or problems with Projects Abroad. So far so good.
My next move was to phone up the head office in West Sussex and speak directly to the Projects Abroad staff. I was put through to a young, friendly and extremely knowledgeable representative who, after speaking for about 45 minutes, had confirmed all my doubts and removed all fears. With this feeling inside and going by my gut instinct, I made out a cheque to Projects Abroad .
Although it seemed like a colossal amount for just two weeks, I can assure you now that I would have paid three times over for the experience that I gained from it.
I had signed up for a two week summer course teaching in a Sports Academy. The two week placement was specially designed for AS-levels students who weren't sure what they wanted to do with their summer: but who knew they wanted to do something. Since I was going for such a short amount of time teaching in a classroom was not an option. It would be disruptive and unfair to the children to have a teacher only for 2 weeks. Since I wanted to work with children and since I was keen on sport this project turned out to suit me down to a tee. Included in the package was food and accommodation as well as a trip to the National Park where you would cross the jungle on a canopy walkway made of rope and then spend the night amidst the creepy crawlies and terrifying noises. On top of these delights for were all the taxi rides, various meals when accompanied by the Projects Abroad staff and the general knowledge that you would not just be left stranded. This was the difference between braving it alone as a fearless gap year student or being a better looked after slightly clueless AS student. Since I fell into the latter category, this last point in particular came as a relief to me.
The summer term flew by and apart from receiving half a dozen forms to fill in, I didn't really hear from Projects Abroad. I bought various things in preparation for Ghana (a mosquito net, some mosquito repellent containing the magic DEET formula, some long sleeved non-revealing clothes) and then before I could blink, I was standing in front of my somewhat tearful mother reminding me to take good care of myself and not to talk to strangers.
Although I most definitely did take good care of myself, and hence obey one of my mother's conditions, I broke the second almost within the first minute of arriving on Ghanaian territory. The friendliness and openness of the Ghanaians is what first struck me about Ghana. I think it is partly because of the coldness and reserved nature of the English and partly just because of the wideness of the Ghanaians' smiles - one could not help but feel instantly at home. The second most noticeable feature was changing my money. I handed over a single £20 note and a couple of minutes later received an inchful of Ghanian cedes (pronounces see-dees). I quickly put them in my money belt looking pregnant and feeling richer than the Queen of Sheba.
I was met by perhaps the most friendly Ghanaian of them all - Annane (meaning 'God') and was taken to my home for the next couple of weeks. I was living with a Ghanaian couple called the Wolves and there were 3 other girl volunteers living there as well. They had the second floor of a 3 storey building conveniently placed right in the centre of Accra. Furthermore there were lots of other volunteers nearby, which was easy when it came to sharing taxis in the evenings.
My first day was an induction of Accra. Projects Abroad has three main bases in Ghana, the Akuapem Hills, Cape Coast and the bustling city centre Accra. Many people mix and match their placements, but since I was only there for two weeks, I would spend most of my time in Accra. With an increasing population and a lot of room for expansion - I soon found out that there was a lot to see. I managed to pack so much into my couple of weeks - looking back I'm surprised how I did. All the main sights were pointed out to me and the big landmarks, so that if I got lost I would have some idea of where I was. The most attractive features of the tour were the drink in the Western style bar Frankie's, the stunning beach and being shown the 5* hotel that many of the volunteers have membership's to. I met all of the other volunteers that evening, all of whom were keen to get to know the 'girl footballer' as I had been known before I came out and who were keen to relate their various stories, experiences and tips. For example a good price for a taxi, or how not to get lost, or which tro-tro to take etc. all useful, priceless tips that I was frantically trying to make a mental note of.
After arriving at my placement which was about 45 minutes out of Accra I met the overall organiser of the project - Salim. Since he went to school in England until he was 16, his English was perfect, which was a pleasant change from having to speak English slowly and in a Ghanaian accent just to be understood. He and four other men were the ones in charge of the project. One who owns the land, one who is in charge of the maintenance of the land, one who used to play for a Ghanaian football team and one who provides some of the funding for the academy. The ex-footballer comes from one of the worst slum regions in Accra and he, every day, gets a bus full of keen children, aging between 5 and 12 and gives them the opportunity to get some fresh air away from the bustling, polluted city centre. I cannot express in words the joy that I saw on the faces of these little children whilst playing football and having a good kick around. Every one of the children comes from a family with problems, whether it be that they are orphaned, or abused, I find it hard to stress just how worthwhile this project is. It gives them the invaluable opportunity to forget their family problems and just to play hard. I was proud to be involved. The first week was mainly just settling into the placement and getting to know the other volunteers. I signed myself up for African Tribal Drumming and Dancing lessons, without really knowing of what they would comprise. It turned out that I have never laughed so much ever so much so that the following mornings I would have bruised ribs without really remembering why. The very enthusiastic Ghanaian, Evans, who takes the lessons was so inspiring; he was so knowledgeable about his culture and so keen for us to learn - you couldn't really but take an instant like to him. I still look fondly upon my African drum that hangs in my room at home and remember all the happy memories that are associated with it.
That first weekend was the weekend I went to Cape Coast (where the Projects Abroad head quarters is) and did the canopy walkway. It was simultaneously one of the most terrifying and exhilarating experiences of my life. For the second week, I had the option of doing normal teaching in the morning; working on a project in the centre of Accra called GLONA, as well as continuing with the normal afternoon placement in the afternoon. I also, advised by the Projects Abroad UK staff brought out my rounders bat to bring a bit of variety to the Sports Academy. It was a busy week and topped off with a Ghanaian football match which was unlike anything I've ever seen before resulted in being one of the best weeks in living memory.
For the second weekend we decided to go to one of Ghana's neighbouring countries Togo. So Jayne (the Projects Abroad Assistant Manager), two other volunteers and I all set off to go to Togo, which was an experience in itself. Transport in Ghana is interesting to say the least! After making your way to the main tro-tro park in Circle, central Accra, and having located the right tro, you then have to wait for it to fill up. This could take anything from half an hour, to the rest of the day. It is lucky that everything is so relaxed in Ghana, even if you tell someone a time to meet, the likelihood of it happening on time is somewhat slim. I rather enjoyed this laid back approach to life, though back in London I couldn't imagine everyone adopting this lifestyle. After an uncomfortable, bumpy and rather smelly journey to the Ghana/Togo border, our next challenge was to change our money without being ripped off whilst crossing the border. This would have proved to have been an impossible task, had it not been for the Regional Director of Projects Abroad in Togo, Augustin. He successfully conducted various deals with several customs officers, passport control guards and some unsuspecting Togalese men whilst keeping a fixed grin on his face. All of this to me seemed something less than a miracle.
Visiting Togo was a great experience; it was interesting to note the many differences between itself and Ghana, even though they are next door to one another. Togo is very much influenced by the French way of life, even though they gained their independence many years ago. French is the first language, the food is French and one can make out similarities with Togo and France. Since I am studying French at A-level, it proved to be really useful to see whether I would like to spend more time there say on a gap summer, or if I took a gap year, as one of my destinations. Not only would I learn a lot about Togalese history, culture and way of life, but also my French would improve unrecognisably. But having said that, I must inform you that I did in fact prefer Ghana. I cannot pinpoint exactly my reasons for this opinion, perhaps it is the warm nature of the people, perhaps it is the simple values, or perhaps it is simply the je ne sais quoi about the place - whatever it may be I most definitely felt a certain affinity when I was there. Although I did miss my family, this was not a big enough reason to draw me back to England, so I e-mailed my mother telling her that I wanted to stay another two weeks and I hoped that that was alright. All was arranged, everyone agreed that it was the right thing to do and if I did not do this then I would regret it for the rest of my life. So I turned up at the British Airways head office, asking for available flight dates in the next two weeks, and they shortly informed me that there weren't any for 4 months. Not a single flight! Unfortunately this was the case as it stood, and there was nothing I could do about it.
Looking back on my time in Ghana, not only had I acquired a very impressive feature on my CV as well as an invaluable once-in-a-life-time experience also I had improved my suntan! From going to Ghana and seeing such acute poverty contrasted with such happiness I will carry my memories with me forever.

I promised another Daring Baker's post soon!
The April 2011 Daring Bakers' challenge was hosted by Evelyne of the blog Cheap Ethnic Eatz. Evelyne chose to challenge everyone to make a maple mousse in an edible container. Prizes are being awarded to the most creative edible container and filling, so vote on your favorite from April 27th to May 27th at http://thedaringkitchen.com!
I'm late for the contest, but I'm posting anyway, because these were delicious, and relatively easy, too! The maple flavor was prevalent but not overwhelming, and the texture of the mousse was divine.
I made the maple mousse (recipe here) and put it in an almond pizzelle bowl. I tasted the two of them together, and decided that both were pretty sweet and needed something salty to balance the flavor. I remembered the candied pecans that I have made before. The Official Taste Tester can't eat pecans, but he can eat almonds. So I topped it with spicy, salty, slightly sweet almonds. The result was pretty, if I do say so myself.
If I were to make these again, I would probably try to cut down the sugar a bit in the pizzelles. However, these were still really tasty as is. While some of us used utensils to eat our mousse bowls, others couldn't wait that long.

Looking for Haunted places in PA

I love trying to find haunted locations. Whether or not they really are haunted, it's still thrilling. I've stayed at the Farnsworth House in Gettysburg 4 times. I doubt I'll go back (it gets expensive), but I did have my share of 'unusual' things happen. None of them are things you can prove, so to speak, but fun nonetheless.
One stay, when I was with my sister in one of the 'haunted' (aka original) rooms, there were 3 things that stick out. After our first night, my sister complained the following morning about kids laughing all night long and keeping her up. I told her I didn't hear anything, and when we went down to breakfast, it confirmed that no children were staying there. What I knew but what she didn't was that at least one child, possibly multiple children, are said to haunt the B&B, one being a young boy killed out front in the 1800's. In a later stay at the place in a different room, I actuallydiscovered a dresser filled with toys that visitors have left for this child.
One of the two other, more minor occurrences included the shower playing tricks on me. Just as I lathered up my hair with conditioner while taking a morning shower, the water just totally shut off. I stood there playing with the faucets for a few minutes to no avail and got VERY cold. <_< I put on my bathrobe and complained to my sister about it, who went in to check for herself. When she fussed with the faucets, the water came on fine again. Could've been just an old house acting up, but who knows. :huh:
Lastly, prior to the trip, my sister and I had made a special trip to get a new battery for her camera. While at the Farnsworth House, we took pics of the room and usual touristy sorts of photos. When we went out to the courtyard to continue doing this, the camera stopped working with the battery light flashing to signify a dead battery. Of course we knew it couldn't be dead. We sort of looked at each other like, "Yeah right," knowing that cameras are items traditionally left inoperable in 'haunted' locales. I told her that if it starts working again when we leave the Farnsworth House, then THAT will be crazy. Sure enough, after we got in the car and started driving toward the first day's battle area, the camera was fine. I should add the area in which it malfunctioned was right along Plum Run, which is the small waterway that supposedly drowned injured soldiers stuck in it when heavy rains came the day after the battle, flooding the run.
Again, all of these things could easily be dismissed as flukes, but who knows! Maybe we were being fooled around with by some spirits. If anyone knows of any other 'haunted' areas in Central PA, I'd love to learn about them! I'm originally from NEPA so not as familiar with where to explore. Thanks, all! I look forward to hearing more from everone!

Hey is the house still there?
There are alot of haunted places in Lancaster, Pa. Mostlt in the city. there is one house that is on the corner of East Lemon and North Lime Streets. I lived there when I was a little girl , about 9 yrs. old, there was a gas station on one side and a graveyard on the other. Every night we heard people walking up and down the stairs and alot of mumbled voices. No one ever believed me until the the old residents came walking past and we stopped them and told them about what we have been hearing and they told us there was an old tunnel in the basement that he covered up because he thought the tunnel led under the graves. He also told us about the tombstones he found behind a particle board wall. He said there are people buried in the basement that the caretakers thought were to evil to be buried among those that were saved. needless to say when my parents found the headstones with weird writing on them we moved out in 2 weeks. Lancaster may not be much but, we do have our ghosts.

Do mean Manhattan, as in NYC? If so, that we would need to start another thread for that. If there is a Mannahattan in Pennsylvania the that's a different story. Being from Ohio, I'm not too familiar with PA. Well except Gettysburg, but I've only been there once..... So far.

Chicago Fire defender Jalil Anibaba will extend his stay in Spain by one week. The second-year defender, currently training with Spanish La Liga side and 2012 Europa League Champions Atlético Madrid, was initially scheduled to train with El Atléti from Nov. 18 through Dec. 2 but will now stay with the side through Dec. 9.
Anibaba is joined in Spain by 2012 MLS Rookie of the Year Austin Berry, who will train with the side from Nov. 25 through Dec. 9.
In 2011, the Fire formed a strategic alliance with Atlético Madrid, Club América and Sport Club Internacional and five other clubs on a total of five continents in an effort to bring clubs together in the spirit of creating synergy as it relates to the growth of soccer, on-the-field-and-off.
Berry and Anibaba, both 24, were instrumental to the Fire defense that held opponents to just 41 goals this season, tied for second best in the Eastern Conference. In 2012, the Men in Red went 17-11-6 and earned 57 points, tied with the 2000 season for the highest point total in club history, and qualified for the MLS Cup Playoffs for the 12th time in the club's 15-year history.
The Chicago Fire Soccer Club announced Monday that the club has declined options on midfielder Corben Bone, defender Gonzalo Segares and goalkeeper Jay Nolly.
Segares was the Fire's third round selection (35th overall) in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft. The Costa Rican international has played 178 games over eight seasons for the Men in Red, scoring 11 goals and adding 13 assists. The 2007 Chicago Fire Defender of the Year, Segares has made 13 postseason appearances for the Fire, scoring the insurance goal in the second leg of a 3-0 win over the New England Revolution Nov. 6, 2008.
Bone was the Fire's first round selection (13th overall) in the 2010 MLS SuperDraft. The Plano, Texas native made 17 appearances in three seasons with the Men in Red. Bone's lone assist in a Fire shirt came May 14, 2011 when he assisted on Orr Barouch's game-tying goal in a 2-2 draw at Toronto FC. In 2012, Bone started all 10 of the Fire's Reserve League matches and score one goal and tallied two assists across 897 minutes.
Nolly was acquired by the Fire on Dec. 2, 2011 in a trade with Vancouver Whitecaps FC. The veteran 'keeper did not appear in a first team match for the Fire but made six appearances in MLS Reserve League play. The Littleton, Colo. native started and played the first half of the Fire's 1-0 loss to English Premier League side Aston Villa July 21.
Bone, Segares and Nolly are now eligible for the MLS Re-Entry Process. The first round of the MLS Re-Entry Draft is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 7 with the second round taking place the following Friday, Dec. 14.
Both Stage One and Stage Two drafts will be conducted in the same order as the traditional Waiver Draft.
Clubs must exercise the option for, or extend a Bona Fide Offer to, all players selected in Stage 1. Players that were out of contract may either accept or reject the Bona Fide Offer. Should a player reject the offer, the drafting club will hold the right of first refusal for that player in MLS. Players with option years left on their contract will automatically be added to the drafting club's roster.

Beware of Olympic-Related Scams, Malware, Spam
Cyber-criminals are using the upcoming summer Olympic Games in London as bait to lure unsuspecting Internet users to their malicious websites and scams.
The Department of Homeland Security laid out the many threats to the Olympic Games in a detailed warning last week. DHS warned about politically-motivated attempts to disrupt the Games that may use physical methods or cyber-attacks, such as defacing websites and distributed-denial-of-service attacks. The warning also devoted a section to potential spear phishing attacks to steal information and malware and spam designed to divert Internet users to malicious sites.
Internet users need to beware of social engineering scams, malware redirects, poisoned search results using blackhat search engine optimization (SEO) techniques, and regular scams, DHS warned. The DHS is also worried about the potential of malicious mobile apps masquerading as Olympic-related applications.
Let the 2012 London Malware Olympics Begin!
The 2012 Summer Olympics are scheduled to begin in London on July 27, and phishing and scam attacks offering tickets have already begun circulating, said the DHS. The attacks are designed to trick users into handing over personal information and credit card information. Cyber-criminals have also begun sending out malicious attachments, one of which exploit an older stack buffer overflow vulnerability to download additional malware, the DHS warned.
Users should be "wary of Olympic (and any other current event) themed emails that have attachments and/or links," F-Secure wrote in a recent blog post.
Researchers at F-Secure discovered a specially crafted PDF file masquerading as a copy of the London 2012 Olympics schedule. The schedule itself is legitimate, as the original file is still on the official London Olympics page. However, once this file is opened, it exploits a two-year-old vulnerability (CVE-2010-2883) in older versions of Adobe Reader and Acrobat. The PDF file acts as a dropper, downloading other executables onto the compromised computer to launch other attacks.
Considering that the vulnerability was patched a long time ago by Adobe, users should be safe, right? Not quite, since end users and administrators don't always keep up with the latest versions of software. Criminals often rely on exploits targeting older vulnerabilities because they know there are enough potential victims out there who haven't patched the flaws.
"If you don't already have the current version of Adobe Reader, you really should go get it now," F-Secure researchers wrote in the blog post.
Olympic SEO
Cyber-criminals can also create malicious sites to distribute fake antivirus and other types of rogueware. They employ SEO tricks to ensure these sites appear on search result pages for certain keywords, and users are tricked into downloading malicious software. There will also be sites offering exclusive footage, but really using fake videos and codecs to distribute malware.
Since Yahoo was the "top ranked global destination for Olympics coverage for the past three Games," it is "probable" that criminals will target Yahoo for SEO poisoning for the 2012 Games, according to the DHS.
Olympic Defenses
As F-Secure researchers said, your systems should have the latest software versions and the operating system should be fully patched. Don't click on links promising deals that you weren't looking for, and scrutinize links carefully when searching for Olympic-related pages. If you need Olympic-themed apps and software, make sure they are coming from reputable sources.
Criminals targeted the Beijing Olympics some 12 million times a day in 2008, according to the document. "During the 2008 Beijing Olympics, one gang made approximately $3.5 million USD selling fake tickets online to unsuspecting victims," the DHS warned. Users landed on these fake ticket sites after clicking on a link in a spam message.
The organization running the Olympics is working hard to make sure their systems can sustain attacks from external threats, but you need to protect your own computers and your data.

Icodome now converting DSLRs to true monochrome
Posted 05 January 2013 - 08:31 AM
We are still field testing our 3 converted DSLRs and waiting for a break in weather to do some narrowband imaging.
Meanwhile have a look at full size at this true 720nm IR monochrome image: http://dl.dropbox.co...nD40IR720nm.jpg
Pricing will be approx camera body costs + $250 which equate to about $450-$650 depending on camera model. This price is actually lower than what some are charging for simple IR modification. I will not modify your camera for fear of damaging your sensor but sell preconverted, tested units. That way I assume all costs of failures and you as the consumer are protected.

Posted 05 January 2013 - 11:38 AM
One question though, why Nikon over Canon?
Do you even intend to modify Canon? If yes I think I just found a reason to purchase a 5D Mk II and have it MONOfied by you guys... then send it over to JTW or CentralDS to get it cooled. I figure the total price to me would be in the $4000 range. I would pay that price for sure a mono cooled 5D Mk II.
Anyway, you are definitely on the edge here. Good work!
Posted 05 January 2013 - 12:53 PM
I would go for a camera modified like this in a heartbeat if it were a Canon, but the fact that all my existing accessories would be less compatible makes it of little appeal.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 03:02 PM
Posted 05 January 2013 - 03:30 PM
Keep up the outstanding R&D.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 09:24 PM
Do you have a D80 ready?
I would be interested only if I can see/inspect a 10 minute dark frame. I'm not really concerned about hot pixels or noise, I can process those out. But I am concerned about amp glow. Some older Nikon models were notorious for amp glow so if the MONOfied D80 has some I'm not interested... but if the 10 minute dark frame shows no sign of amp glow I'll buy MONOfied D80 immediately.
Let me know.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 09:42 PM
Thanks for expressing your enthusiasm and support. I think the D80 will probably still exhibit too much amp glow much like my old Canon 20D. I'm looking at converting a D90 which is significantly more advanced than the D80, appears to have nearly no amp glow from reports and also features the very useful live view ability. If it goes well I'll make sure to keep it for you.
Posted 05 January 2013 - 10:59 PM
In that case, would you be willing to do a D7000 instead? The new D7000 body is about $825; not sure how much a used one would go for.
I just ran a test with my D90 and D7000 for a 10 minute dark frame and the D7000 is night and day compared to the D90.
Sorry to be throwing you curve balls like this but the D7000 has next to no hot pixels, it's an awesome camera.
I know you said you would not modify a customer's camera but look at my signature, I have DSLRs coming out my ying-yang. How confident are you in your process? I'm thinking I might be willing to risk the D7000 for a MONOfied mod. This would split the risk between both of us.
Send me a PM with your email if you want to take this off line; I'm good either way.
Posted 06 January 2013 - 03:09 PM
I guess, we'll also need low profile filter wheels that can fit between the camera mount and the usual SLR camera lenses.
Posted 07 January 2013 - 11:35 PM
no flats, no darks, just some curves in PS
full scale here: http://dl.dropbox.co...monoHa copy.jpg
A conventional colour camera would only produce a signal in the red channel and would be only either 1/3 the resolution or 1/3 the scale. Much less nebulosity would be apparent after only 30 minutes. I need much longer subs and more of them to iron out the background noise.
Posted 08 January 2013 - 10:19 AM
Posted 09 January 2013 - 06:36 PM
I'm very happy with my Nikon D700 which gave me good results with AP for a non modified camera. I would love to have a D700 monofied, but I'm afraid Nikon put up a big hurdle for filter removal for recent models due to an IR LED/sensor checking shutter timing. Removing the cut filter opens up not just for h-alpha but also for the signal from the IR LED. This might be removable by dark frames, acting a bit like amp glow on the old models. I'm not sure if this goes for all the newer Nikons.
Posted 09 January 2013 - 11:11 PM
That's very interesting information, do you have a website that discusses this issue? Does your D700 have this feature (and you do mean D700 and not D7000, right?).
I just successfully converted a D90 today but of course despite the weather forecast it's cloudy tonight so I can't astro test it. Here's a 10 minute dark taken at room temperature:

Interesting progress. The 10 minute D90 dark frame is showing sings of amp glow (or light infiltration) towards the bottom right of the frame

Posted 12 January 2013 - 08:46 AM
Thanks and that's a good call for somebody who isn't familiar with all the different Nikon models. Apparently Adorama in NYC is liquidating their D5100 for only $419 (NEW!) to make room for the new D5200. But like you said, the D5100 has the great 16 MP sensor of the D7000 and the articulated LCD screen is really a back saver for astroimaging. For Canon people this is equivalent to the T3i.

I'll tell you what Jim... at $419 for a new D5100 body I'm giving you the green light to go get one and modify it. If you can MONOfy a new D5100 with success I'll purchase your first D5100 monofied camera as long as the monofied camera does not show any sign of amp glow on a 10 minute dark frame post modification; that's my only requirement for a D5100.
Send me a PM and we can talk $.
Posted 12 January 2013 - 10:06 PM
Question, does this remove the micro-lens array? Given that you gain a full f-stop it's probably irrelevant, but I'm just curious.
Posted 13 January 2013 - 05:35 AM
Posted 16 January 2013 - 07:52 AM
SO the only new news I can offer is that I going to offer my current stock for sale:
Nikon D50 with original box and all original accessories and 2 extra batteries with 17200 shutter actuations. $425
Nikon D40 with only 4800 actuations but no accessories, one battery. $375
Nikon D90 with original box and accessories, 12000 actuations. $650
These cameras have no glass covering the mono modified sensor so care must be taken to keep the camera body sealed between uses with body cap (The D90 does have the vibrating dust reduction window present so the sensor is protected) Autofocus is not calibrated. Must shoot in RAW and extract data without color interpolation via open source software such as dcraw.
Shipping & handling will be extra, about $35-40 throughout North America via Canada Post.
The cameras currently work perfectly .... but they are at least 8 years old with an unknown history of previous ownership (meaning who knows how they were previously treated). There is no warranty implied, this is an opportunity to try true digital B&W imaging at a small cost, a tiny fraction of the $8000 Leica Monochrom or if you can find them the $5000 Kodak 760M. You can check out my feedback on Amart to know I am an honest and ethical vendor.

Serene yet chaotic; untouched yet urban; ancient yet modern, dreamy yet very real, rich, poor, old, new, sacred, sexy, wise, fast and funny - Africa: cannot be contained.
Since its birth, Bantu has been Made In Africa, by Africans, sustainably & fairly, and that will never change.
What is changing is Africa...
With over 1 billion people, more than half under 20 years of age - Africa today is quite literally the future of the world - and the future of the world is made in Africa.
Inspired by Africa's transition from Dark Continent to Bearer of Light, tales of the mermaid goddess of oceans Mami Wata, and a passion for surfing, Bantu was created by merging the rich history of African art and textiles with Africa's deeply rooted surf culture.
Bantu uses traditional processes and works exclusively with local vendors and artisans in Africa to make quality products that are functional and authentic for surfers, urban nomads and afro-punks.
Bantu is real beachwear from the real Africa.

Dolphin killed by pair-trawling. Thousands of porpoises and dolphins die every year as accidental bycatch.
Many fisheries catch fish other than the ones that they target and in many cases these are simply thrown dead or dying back into the sea. In some trawl fisheries for shrimp, the discard may be 90 percent of the catch. Other fisheries kill seabirds, turtles and dolphins, sometimes in huge numbers.
Estimates vary as to how serious a problem bycatch is. Latest reports suggest that around eight percent of the total global catch is discarded, but previous estimates indicated that around a quarter of might be thrown overboard. Simply no-one knows how much of a problem this really is.
The incidental capture, or bycatch, of mammals, sea-birds, turtles, sharks and numerous other species is recognised to be a major problem in many parts of the world. This figure includes non-target species as well as targeted fish species that cannot be landed because they are, for instance, undersized. In short, anywhere between 6.8 million and 27 million tonnes of fish could be being discarded each year, reflecting the huge uncertainties in the data on this important issue.
The scale of this mortality is such that bycatch in some fisheries may affect the structure and function of marine systems at the population, community and ecosystem levels. Bycatch is widely recognised as one ofthe most serious environmental impacts of modern commercial fisheries.
Different types of fishing practices result in different animal/species being killed as bycatch: nets kill dolphins, porpoises and whales, longline fishing kills birds, and bottom trawling devastates marine ecosystems.
It has been estimated that a staggering 100 million sharks andrays are caught and discarded each year. Tuna fisheries, which in thepast had high dolphin bycatch levels, are still responsible for the death of many sharks. An estimated 300,000 cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) also die as bycatch each year, because they are unable to escape when caught in nets.
Birds dive for the bait planted on long fishing lines, swallow it (hook included) and are pulled underwater and drowned. Around 100,000 albatrosses are killed by longline fisheries every year and because of this, many species are facing extinction.
Bottom trawling is a destructive way of 'strip-mining' the ocean floor, harvesting the species that live there. As well as the target fish species, this also results in bycatch of commercially unattractive animals like starfish and sponges. A single pass of a trawl removes up to 20 percent of the seafloor fauna and flora. The fisheries with the highest levels of bycatch are shrimp fisheries: over 80 percent of a catch may consist of marine species other than the shrimp being targeted.
Many technical fixes exist to reduce bycatch. Turtle exclusion devices are used in some shrimp fisheries to avoid killing turtle species. In the case of longline fisheries, the process of setting the hooks can be changed and bird-scaring devices employed which radically cut the numbers of birds killed. To avoid dolphins being caught in nets other devices can be used. Pingers are small sound-emitting and dolphin-deterring devices that are attached to nets, but they are not always effective. Escape hatches (consisting of a widely spaced metalgrid, which force the cetacean up and out of the net) have also been used.
Although these devices may have a role to play, they cannot address the whole problem. Such devices need continual monitoring to check how well they work and assess any potential negative effects they may have. Realistically they will probably only be used in areas with well-developed fishery management and enforcement agencies.
On a global level, probably the only effective way to address the problems of bycatch is to control fishing effort. This will be best achieved through the creation of marine reserves. Nonetheless, in the case of highly mobile species such as seabirds and cetaceans, the only effective way of preventing bycatch is to discontinue the use of particularly damaging fishing methods.

Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs Announces Multi-State Settlement Resolving Enviga Implied Weight Loss Claims
ATLANTA, GA – Joe Doyle, Administrator of the Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs, along with 27 other states and the District of Columbia, announced a settlement with Coke, Nestle and Beverage Partnership Worldwide (BPW) resolving questionable claims that Enviga, a green tea beverage, will burn extra calories resulting in weight loss.
The companies have agreed to add disclosures to Enviga, and any similarly formulated product, to disclaim any weight loss benefits and note that weight loss is only possible through diet and exercise. The companies will also pay $650,000 to the states.
In 2007, the attorneys general, led by Connecticut, began an investigation into questionable express and implied claims that drinking Enviga will burn more calories than it contains thereby resulting in weight loss.
Specifically, marketing claims for Enviga purported that consuming three cans in a day would result in increased calorie burning by up to 60 to 100 calories per day. However, the study cited by the companies, known as "Rudelle" ran for only three days and consisted of a small group of normal weight healthy 18-35 year olds. While a number of study participants did experience some additional calorie burning, they did not experience weight loss. Additionally, Rudelle did not establish that any of the calorie burning effect could be sustained over time.
The limited results of the Rudelle study -- and the absence of any evidence that consuming Enviga results in weight loss -- prompted the attorneys general to question the implication that people in the general population would experience the same calorie burning as those healthy 18-35 year olds in a controlled setting.
The settlement reached between the state attorneys general and the companies requires that in any marketing of Enviga, or a similarly formulated beverage, that uses the terms "the calorie burner," "negative calories," "drink negative," or makes any claims explicitly or implicitly that consumers will burn calories by drinking Enviga, there must be a clear and conspicuous disclosure that the product does not produce weight loss without diet and exercise.
States participating in this agreement are: Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Illinois, Louisiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Texas, Washington and the District of Columbia.

Farrah Dobbas
Farrah Dobbas, senior, struggled with completing a major because her learning disability made it hard to pass a language requirement. "Well I have struggled, let's be honest, struggled with school forever." Always having an interest in communications and journalistic reporting, Dobbas was able to construct a degree around her career goals.
Right now she is interning under a major ESPN sideline host and hopes to one day become a host herself. This past summer she was an interviewer for the College National Finals Rodeo in Wyoming. "I grew up rodeoing so that was part of my interest. I plan on going out to Houston in the spring and that's for another rodeo so I would be interviewing again."
Dobbas loves the General Studies major because it gives her the opportunity to do a major and minor in one degree. With a desire to get out into the career field without giving up on a bachelors degree, she found her perfect fit with General Studies. "I think everyone that is a general studies major has a story of their own. Not even saying it's been easier for me, I've actually enjoyed college now."
Aislynn Mueller
Aislynn Mueller, senior, found general studies as a placeholder for athletics. As a college athlete she needed to declare a major but being a transfer student she didn't have enough units to declare criminal justice. When she finally had enough units to switch majors, "I ended up liking the availability of classes so much that I ended up staying in it."
She admitted at first she was hesitant to declare general studies because of the perception of its title but soon discovered it fit her wants even more. "I feel if I was just criminal justice, I would not look at the justice system the same way with the sociological side. " Besides just learning different sides of law through multiple perspectives she realized the chance to meet and network with professors in many fields of study was beneficial as well. "I have a larger network trying to get my letters of recommendation for law school because I know more teachers."
After she graduates in December 2012, Mueller plans on going to law school. "I was able to graduate a semester early with this degree that was really integrated in many different parts." She is interested in pursuing international law and is going to Spain right after graduating with USAC for a winter program. She plans on getting an internship with Amnesty International before continuing onto graduate school.
Students are required to complete a 30 credit thematic cluster of which at least 18 credits must be upper division (300+). The thematic cluster should be comprised of coursework from three departments within the same college OR from two different colleges. We strongly encourage you to consult with your academic advisor to discuss possible cluster themes and ideas. The cluster must be submitted two semesters prior to graduation. It is the student's responsibility to design the cluster and obtain approval.
Please note: We recommend you do not apply for graduation until your thematic cluster has been approved by the director of General Studies.
Creating the Thematic Cluster
The cluster proposal consists of a well-written essay and the thematic cluster form.
Students will often utilize coursework they have completed in the past that is not being used to fulfill other core or major requirements. Students are welcome to use past coursework, but it is STRONGLY encouraged to include future courses as well. Future course offerings are available online.
The essay should be double spaced and around four pages. It should include the title, name and NSHE ID, an introduction identifying the theme and construct of the cluster, a body consisting of two to four sentences for each course that is proposed describing what was learned (or what is anticipated being learned from courses not yet taken) and how it relates to the theme, and a conclusion that addresses how the cluster courses will benefit the student in their future career, educational or personal goals.
Submitting the Thematic Cluster
The cluster is turned in to the academic advisor for his/her signature. The advisor submits the proposal to the director of General Studies. Typically, cluster proposals are reviewed by the director and will take anywhere from 3-4 weeks for approval. If a cluster is approved by the director it is forwarded to Admissions and Records and is programmed into the student's Academic Advising Report (AAR) and becomes part of their degree requirements. If a cluster is disapproved, it is sent back to the academic advisor who will contact the student and discuss necessary changes. Once the student has made the necessary adjustments and/or revisions, it is re-submitted. This process repeats until the cluster is approved.
Making Changes to a Thematic Cluster
If a student needs to make a change to their cluster, they need to submit official paperwork via their advisor. Usually, if good reason is given why a substitution needs or wants to be made, it is granted. The student should work with their advisor and submit the appropriate paperwork prior to taking the substituted course. If a student wants to completely change the theme or direction of their thematic cluster, a new proposal and thematic cluster proposal form will need to be completed and submitted for approval.

BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan -- At a busy intersection in Parwan Province near Bagram Airfield, adults and children alike stopped to watch as a crane lofted what looked like a shipping container above the heads of Afghan and American servicemembers Jan. 7.
The container was actually the top of an old guard tower from Bagram Airfield that the 455th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron was turning over to the Afghan National Police to serve as a guard post near the airfield.
"They control the security outside the wire ... and this is our way of helping them out with that. We're helping them to help us," said Senior Master Sgt. James Segebarth, 455th Expeditionary Security Forces Group superintendent of installation security.
Airmen from the 455th and 755th ESFS partnered with local ANP members to provide security and direct traffic around the intersection as Soldiers from the 857th Engineer Company, deployed from the Mississippi National Guard, positioned their crane and lifted the guard post into the air. As the crane lowered the guard post inside the walls of the existing checkpoint, Afghan and American troops pushed the building into position, communicating with each other by pointing.
"This would not be possible without the great relationship Colonel Uzmari and I have built," said Lt. Col. Thomas Sherman, 455th ESFS commander, as he and his ANP counterpart stood together watching Afghan and American servicemembers move the guard post.
"We work shoulder to shoulder," agreed Uzmari, ANP Bagram District chief. "My people and his troops do a lot of work together and patrol together to make sure nothing happens."
The guard post is the fourth the 455th ESFS has turned over to Afghan National Security Forces. Local Afghan National Army units have received two, and this is the second the ANP has received. District ANP forces were already providing security for the area, but the new guard post provides a permanent hardened facility for them to base their operations.
"I'm proud that in cold weather or hot weather, my men will stand here to provide security for the people," Uzmari said.
After the guard post was placed, the U.S. servicemembers climbed into their vehicles and the crowds of spectators began to disperse. As the U.S. vehicles rolled away, the ANP policemen returned to their newly fortified post and continued to watch over the streets of Bagram.
