In Vendor relationship management: CRM threat or opportunity?, Graham Saad lays out the customer and vendor side advantages of VRM.
John Cass adds to Francine Hardaway's report on the talk I gave yesterday at There's a New Conversation. Note my comment in response to Francine's post as well.
In My Request to Give, Bart Stevens asks about a relbutton scenario:
It could look something like this:
"… I have 2 laptops and 100 USD which I would like to give to a school in Africa …"
Now this is communicated to the smaller NGO's which now will have "to compete" for these goods.
By doing so, they (the NGO) start to create a new (and hopefully) a more sustainable relationship with the donor.
What do you think, would this idea fly, or is the NGO community to closed, or not ready yet?
And do you know some NGO's I could contact to discuss the nuts and bolts of such a platform?
Let me know. I want to see such a platform work.
There is a (hopefully) productive back-and-forth between Simon Edhouse, myself and others in response to this post here. For context read Simon's The Media is the Mess, where he locates a central problem of silos (such as Facebook) in the legacy client-server architecture of the Web, and commercial modeling that has become so deeply associated with The Web that its polycentral model has become normative, and at odds with the Net's peer-to-peer roots and nature. I believe Simon mischaracterizes VRM as something operating within that model (or typical of it), but I like many of his thoughts about the model itself. As Adriana points out in her analysis of 'user-driven' vs. 'user-centric', there are risky mentalities and framings at play, often when we don't know it.
In If I Ruled the Internet, Molly Metzger correctly calls for poetry as well as code, if we are to make clear what VRM is all about. I have a comment below her post.

Just wondering if there are any long term issues with always turning these computers off via power deprivation, instead of letting the PC go through a more normal shut down routine?
I'm thinking mostly of the mechanical hard drives most of us are using. Don't those 'park' themselves on a normal shut down so that they can be moved around while in the off state with less chance of damage?
The original machine, of course, didn't have a mechanical hard drive, so this wouldn't be a problem. They also wrote their own operating system I believe, so perhaps they eliminated any need for a controlled shutdown in terms of saving data or anything. I have no idea if Linux expects to do some 'housekeeping' before shutting down, but I did notice the other day upon start up that there was some sort of message to the affect of '20 events without checking something' (hard to read... it was a mirror image), and it took a lot longer than normal to boot up. Maybe that was a result of all the hard shut downs???
Is there even a way to shut these PCs down 'gracefully' once loaded with the Nucore software if one wanted to (and once the BIOS is changed to turn on upon receiving power)? Unless there really is no reason to do so, I think it could be a nice feature, especially when one plans on physically moving the machine, assuming there is any truth to the hard drive 'parking' theory.
Any issues with hard shut down?
Support questions and answer and latest software.

Re: Any issues with hard shut down?
Should be no problems. We've done a few things to help this issue and cycled machines hundreds of times with no problems. Linux does an automatic disc check every 20 boots I believe. There is a way to override it but it doesn't take long and it's good to run.
Re: Any issues with hard shut down?
Thanks for the quick response.
I did a little asking around and the concensus seems to be that all modern hard drive properly 'park' on shut down OR power failure, so that part is probably no worry either.
I'm still really happy with my RFM running Nucore.

We're putting a bounty on two high-priority Bus Pirate features. You can get a free PCB for the upcoming Bus Pirate V2 by writing a bit of code. Hack a Day has a varied and talented group of readers, and we know someone out there has the experience to make these changes with minimal difficulty.
- The latest code integrates the PIC24F bootloader for easy updates without a programmer. We'd like to add a protocol snooper, but that requires interrupts. With the bootloader, however, interrupts are relocated and we've yet to fully grasp how that works. We'll send a PCB and PIC 24F to the first person who modifies the code to demonstrate UART, SPI, or change notification interrupts with the boot loader. Microchip's 24F bootloader app note is available here. Complete.
- The current frequency measurement feature is a hack that uses a counter and a timer. Be the first to implement the input capture peripheral instead, and get a free PCB. See the function bpFreq(void) in base.c. Complete.
The latest Bus Pirate code and compiled firmware can be checked-out from Google Code SVN. Submit your code via the comments below or firstname.lastname@example.com.
UPDATE: Both issues were resolved. Thanks for your suggestions.

Once in a while the need to escape NYC beckons. Don't get me wrong as I love my city but there is a lot more to see and do outside of the five boroughs. Plenty of towns up north just a train ride away of only an hour or two ride.
After spending a day trip up in Cold Spring NY wandering around, shopping, snacking, exploring, and sightseeing we checked this place out for a mid-afternoon lunch. It was called Hudson Hil's.
Great service.
Delicious food.
Quality portions.
Bright country-style decor.
Breakfast served all day.
Boom. Continue reading Day Tripping to Hudson Hil's in Cold Spring NY.

|On November 6, 1861, Brig. Gen. U.S. Grant left Cairo, Illinois, by steamers, in conjunction with two gunboats, to make a demonstration against Columbus, Kentucky. The next morning, Grant learned that Confederate troops had crossed the Mississippi River from Columbus to Belmont, Missouri, to intercept two detachments sent in pursuit of Brig. Gen. M. Jeff Thompson and, possibly, to reinforce Maj. Gen. Sterling Price's force. He landed on the Missouri shore, out of the range of Confederate artillery at Columbus, and started marching the mile to Belmont. At 9:00 in the morning, an engagement began. The Federals routed the Confederates out of their Belmont cantonment and destroyed the Rebel supplies and equipment they found because they did not have the means to carry them off. The scattered Confederate forces reorganized and received reinforcements from Columbus. Counterattacked by the Confederates, the Union force withdrew, reembarked, and returned to Cairo. Grant did not accomplish much in this operation, but, at a time when little Union action occurred anywhere, many were heartened by any activity.

The Graham Show Is A New Web Series Hosted By Graham Douglass, Featuring Extensive Interviews With Notable Broadway Performers, Writers, And Theater Professionals, Including Nathan Lane
A Spotlight on Broadway's Finest
A new web series called The Graham Show, launching on September 28,2012 will focus on the Broadway community. Hosted by Graham Douglass, the series will feature illuminating interviews with Broadway performers, writers, and other theater folk. Already scheduled to be interviewed on the series are Nathan Lane, Michael Urie, Adam Pascal (Rent), Jersey Boys' writer Rick Elice, Roger Rees, John Tartaglia (Avenue Q), and Christian Borle (a recent Tony winner for Peter and the Starcatcher, series regular on TV's Smash).
In Depth Interviews With Broadway Stars
The in-depth interviews, which will be filmed at interesting local venues like Joe's Pub, will run approximately 30-40 minutes. Graham Douglass aims to take a youth-oriented approach, targeting the demographic of young theater lovers who he hopes will be inspired by the interviews. "What better way to encourage the next generation of theater professionals and make lifelong fans out of future ticket buyers than to teach them about the industry directly from the stars they admire?" said Douglass in a press release. Episodes of The Graham Show can be viewed at www.TheGrahamShow.com. Each Wednesday, the website will also provide a 60-second overview of Broadway news in a segment called "Instant Graham".

X.Org Foundation Testing WorkGroup
The Testing Group's purpose is to maintain and extend the test suites associated with the X Window System technology and to develop and maintain an infrastructure for regression testing releases. The following goals have been established for the Testing Group:
- Support and Maintain the existing X Test Suite
- Extend the existing X Test Suite to cover additional interfaces which have become X.Org standards
- Support the X.Org Release process, and the X.Org Release Manager by providing test suites, scripts and tool that can be used for regression and verification testing of each new release
- Provide input on the testability of new features during the design and development process of those features
- define and maintain procedures for testing portions of the product not covered by the X Test Suite.
The Test Group will communicate primarily via IRC and email. Occasional conference calls may be held as needed. IRC meetings shall default to being held weekly at a time that is suitable to the majority of the active participants of the group.
- IRC on #xorg-test on FreeNode with channel logging archive available via the web.
- email list email@example.com (http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-test/)
- CVS is at http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xtest/
Participation is open to everyone. Membership in X.Org is not required, but is encouraged.
We need to take a look at the exisiting APIs to create a list of tests which are missing (results documented here). Examples include the RENDER extension, RandR, DAMAGE and COMPOSITE.
Unless there is good reason, new tests shall be in the TET framework to facilitate integration into the existing test suite. An additional task to investigate is to provide additional documentation that helps people to understand the TET framework more easily.
Other frameworks could also be investigated, but we should be cautious to not get bogged down in endless religious debate over testing frameworks.
Build the X Test Suite
Building the X Test Suite requires a few steps, but none of them are terribly difficult. Instructions can be found at BuildingXtest.

NEW YORK – The undead joined the protests on Wall Street. 900 zombies were arrested, but they ate themselves out of jail.
Throughout history Zombies have joined revolutions to help overthrow bad governments.
"Zombies usually lead the way in revolutions. Maximilien de Robespierre is often given credit for leading the French Revolution but actually Jean-Pierre Pascal, a zombie, led the charge by organizing all the French zombies in an uprising," said Zombie expert Tad Jurgenson of Brooklyn, New York.
Zombies have been socially and politically active over the last five centuries. Many zombie experts credit them for ending World War II, ending slavery and for putting an end to the reign of Genghis Khan.
Meanwhile, Occupy Wall Street protests are popping up in other cities across the world. Zombies are standing strong with the demonstrator in Boston, Atlanta, Denver, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Pittsburgh, Baltimore and Boise.
Of course, Zombies have to eat and some "normal" protesters have to be eaten and sacrificed to keep the Zombies up and active, but "it's a small price to pay to have the support of Zombies," said Michael Moore, a long time Zombie supporter.
More than 150,000 Zombies have agreed to march on the London Stock Exchange on Saturday, October 15.
Thank God for Zombies…

In a shocking twist of events, Apple plans to hold a keynote to kick off the company's annual Worldwide Developers Conference. The event will take place on Monday, June 11, at 10 a.m. Pacific/1 p.m. Eastern.
While the company hasn't announced precisely who will be headlining said keynote, the smart money is on a tag team approach from Apple's brass. Possible appearances may include CEO Tim Cook, senior vice president of marketing Phil Schiller, senior vice president of iOS software Scott Forstall, and vice president of Mac software Craig Federighi.
But exactly who takes the stage will largely depend on the topics presented. It seems likely that Mountain Lion will occupy a large part of the spotlight, as the update is due to be released later this summer, and—if past WWDC keynotes are any indication—it's possible the company will also take the wraps off of the latest revision to its mobile operating system. For more speculation on what other news Apple might roll out, check out our WWDC preview podcast.
Apple has also released the full schedule for WWDC on its developer website and via an iOS app, though that information is only available to registered attendees of the conference.
Macworld will, as always, provide coverage and analysis of the keynote, live from Moscone West, on June 11. Stay tuned.

But no matter. It's always nice to come home even if Kitty Kitty gives me the cold shoulder. He'll come around in a day or two. Kitties are like that ...
The thing I like best about returning home after a trip is browsing through all the photos taken. It's almost like living the trip all over again. Even months and years later, I will stroll through old travel pics and simply enjoy the memory.
Such a simple pleasure.
Want to stroll with me?
All I could see from where I stood Was three long mountains and a wood; I turned and looked another way, And saw three islands in a bay. So with my eyes I traced the line Of the horizon, thin and fine, Straight around till I was come Back to where I'd started from; And all I saw from where I stood Was three long mountains and a wood.
It really is like that when you stand on top of Mt. Battie. Such a sight to behold!
I'm not sure who the daddy is to this calf! First brown 'oreo' I've ever seen!
Until then, friends,
(By the way, in many of the photos I have been sharing from Maine, I processed them using HDR. I think it gives them a nice old-time warm feeling of such a beautiful part of the country.)

I recently visited this wonderful place (Krusevo). I have no doubt that this place is blessed by God. I went only for the weekend and time was short. While there, I ate at a restaurant named Roma. The food was ethnic in nature and I found it excellent. The skiing was great exercise. I visited the Makedoniun. I think all Macedonians should make a pilgrimage, to this birthplace of FREEDOM. The artist captures a feeling in the structure that I found awe inspiring. As a foreigner I felt welcome. With only a few words in my Macedonian vocabulary, speaking was difficult ,but everyone was helpful and I felt welcome everywhere I went.ReplyDelete

The city itself predates the arrival of the aromanians from Moscopole, whom are present even today as a minority in this little city.


text: Today Wolfgang Schibel (of the phenomenal project CAMENA – Lateinische Texte der Frühen Neuzeit) mentioned to me the Wolfenbüttel images of the Leiden Calepinus ca. 1650. This is a fascinating work for many reasons but my first reaction on seeing the plethora of character sets used in each entry was: what a nightmare for a data entry team! Here's a sample to show what I mean:


text: I have 40 email accounts on 1 domain, Qouta is not configured, using traditional MBox, perferct setup FC4. 1 of these email accounts is used for the "Company BOSS" to send emails to, which forwards the email to all the other 39 email accounts (using the "forward" feature in ISPConfig). All email accounts have the ClamAV and SA turned on. I'd like for ClamAV and SA to "TRUST" all emails from the "Company BOSS" so that the server does not overload!! Is there a way to configure this? Thanks for any input, Robert

Whether you're a snow bunny looking for a bit of glamorous, off-piste fun or a powder hound itching for a fix, there's plenty of frolicking to be had for all manner of snow lovers.
Here are 20 places for people who love winter sports to go:
For snow bunnies
1. Aspen, United States
In the United States and out, Aspen has a reputation for being the winter playground of models and moguls, celebrities and socialites. With four mountains to choose from – Aspen Mountain, Aspen Highlands, Buttermilk and Snowmass – there's plenty of terrain for snow bunnies to give chase.
It's a good idea to conserve some energy for Aspen's hopping apres-ski and nightlife. Grab a few drinks at 39 degrees in Sky Hotel before a sumptuous meal at Nobu's Matsuhisa then check out what's playing at Belly Up.
Nearest airport: Aspen, Colorado, United States.
2. Courchevel 1850, France
Courchevel 1850 is both the highest in elevation and in prices in the Three Valleys (Les Trois Vallées of Courchevel, Meribel and Les Menuires), which now includes a fourth valley in France – Maurienne. There's plenty of entertainment off-piste. Hot and happening apres-ski spots include Le Tremplin or Kudeta. Or dance till the wee hours in Les Caves or La Grange.
Nearest airports: Lyon, France or Geneva, Switzerland or by rail to Moûtiers Salins.
3. St. Moritz, Switzerland
If you prefer your fun a little less alcohol-fueled, Saint Moritz offers more for the adrenaline junkie. There's the famed Cresta Run, a toboggan run exclusively for daredevils where the top speed can hit 140 kph. Or try the Bob Run, the world's last remaining natural ice run from St Moritz to Celerina (1,722 meters). For those who perfer watching men prove their athletic prowess on racing steeds, there's the annual St Moritz World Cup Polo on Snow.
Nearest airport: Engadin, Switzerland or rail to St. Moritz.
For snow kiddies
4. Whistler-Blackcomb, Canada
Whistler-Blackcomb is a great place for ski and snowboard-loving parents to introduce their toddlers to the piste. Many of the resort's facilities have been designed to ensure a great learning experience for young children.
There are designated "Go Slow" and "Family" zones as well as kid centers on both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains. In Blackcomb, there's a Big Easy Terrain Garden and a children's adventure park complete with a ski-through castle. There are fully licensed childcare programs for kids as young as 18 months old so even new mommies get a chance to hit the slopes.
Nearest airport: Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
5. Beaver Creek, United States
Beaver Creek loves kiddies. For seven weeks over the winter season, the resort organizes special family activities with complimentary offers for kids. Outside of those weeks, kids will still have a blast with complimentary apres-ski chocolate chip cookies at 3 p.m., and every week there's storytelling on the hill and an in-village street fair with music, magic and more.
Nearest airport: Eagle, Colorado, United States.
6. Club Med, Worldwide
Club Med's all-inclusive resorts (no extra charge for equipment) are known the world over for being family-friendly. Their ski resorts in Chamonix-Mont Blanc and Villars-sur-Ollon offer Baby Club Med childcare for babies as young as four months old.
For older kids, there are tailored programs for different age groups all the way up to teens. From four years old, kids can join their own ski or snowboarding classes. And in their Meribel and Val Thorens resorts, there's the added convenience of ski-in-ski-out, especially handy for parents who don't want to have to carry their tired children's skis.
Various locations in France, Switzerland, Japan and China.
For the snow elitist
7. Yellowstone Club, United States
Yellowstone Club, an invitation-only residential club, lost a bit of its luster when it filed for bankruptcy protection in 2008, but it did re-emerge from bankruptcy the next year.
The saga of this exclusive ski domain was documented in a New York Times article, which named a few of its illustrious members who had had to fork out upwards of $5 million for a home in the development as well as a joining fee said to be $250,000 and annual fees of $20,000. In addition to skiing, there's also golf.
Nearest airport: Gallatin Field, Montana, United States.
8. Big Horn Revelstoke, Canada
This private chalet offers heli-skiing in and around Revelstoke Mountain Resort. For $63,690-74,060 (C $64,500-75,000) during peak months, 16 people get exclusive use of this chalet, complete with its own helipad, for seven nights.
The helicopter costs are extra. The chalet does come with chefs and housekeepers though, and is equipped with a bar, poolroom, private cinema, outdoor hot tub, indoor exercise pool, gym, sauna and massage room.
Nearest airport: Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada.
For snow foodies
9. Dolomites, Italy
Foodies can't really go wrong in Italy, and the Dolomities is a great marriage of Italian cuisine and superb skiing. After a day making the round on the Sella Ronda, which takes skiers from village to village and mountain to mountain, it's time to re-fuel with some carbohydrates.
A popular dish in this region is the casunziei, half-moon-shaped pasta filled with beet, spinach or other vegetables and are typically drizzled simply with melted butter, poppy seeds and parmesan shavings. To warm-up on the slopes, stop off for a bombardino, a mixture of eggnog, brandy and espresso topped with whipped cream.
Nearest airport: Venice, Italy.
10. Megeve, France
M is for Megeve, but it can also be for Michelin stars. While skiers can access 445 kilometers of ski pistes connected by 116 lifts in and around Megeve, they can also build up calories thanks to the likes of Marc Veyrat, the first chef to score a perfect 20/20 from Gault Millau for both his restaurants, starting with La Ferme de Mon Père (which has since been sold due to Veyrat's deteriorating health).
Since then, there have been other additions such as Flocons de Sel and Les Roches. At the top of Mont d'Arbois, stop by the Rothschild-owned L'Idéal 1850 for a spectacular meal.
Nearest airport: Geneva, Switzerland.
10 lesser-known ski resorts in Europe worth checking out
11. Niseko, Japan
Japanese ski resorts are often lacking when it comes to dining, with fast-food joints populating the mountains. Fortunately, with the boom of international skiers and boarders in Niseko making the most of its four amazing resorts – Niseko Village, Annapuri, Hanazono and Hirafu – the scene has improved.
Kamimura Restaurant, owned by Tetsuya-trained chef Yuichi Kamimura and Ezo Seafoods bring this family-friendly area into the culinary world. Those who prefer to stay in have the option to have their dinners catered by Niseko Gourmet or The Niseko Company.
Meanwhile, skiers look forward to the opening of Capella's exclusive hotel and residences at the foot of Annapuri where rooms will feature private onsens when they open in 2013.
Nearest airport: New Chitose (Sapporo), Hokkaido, Japan or by rail to Niseko.
For adrenaline junkies
12. Chamonix Vallee Blanche, France
Chamonix Vallee Blanche is a 17-kilometer-long, 2,800-meter descent from the top at 3,812 meters. But after the cable car ride up to Aiguille du Midi, there's the adrenaline-boosting Arete to negotiate.
If the prospect of traversing a narrow, icy ridge with just a rope to hold onto precariously while trying to balance skis or snowboard doesn't terrify you, then this is one of the most perfect off-piste runs.
Nearest airport: Geneva, Switzerland.
13. Jammu and Kashmir, India
Traveling in the contested region of Kashmir will likely raise anyone's anxiety levels. And then there's the high altitude (above 4,000 meters). So this is definitely not the kind of skiing for the faint of heart. But for those who are experienced, the skiing here is exhilarating and beautiful.
Nearest airport: Srinigar, Kashmir, India.
14. Mammoth, United States
TransWorld Snowboarding gave Mammoth the top spot for its pipe and second place in the overall resort category. It takes guts aplenty to go for gravity-defying glory on a monster pipe, and the six-meter-deep Super Duper, Olympic-size pipe at Mammoth is exactly that.
For those just getting their footing, there's also the four-meter Canyon pipe and the five-meter Super pipe.
Nearest airport: Mammoth-Yosemite, California, United States.
For powder hounds
15. Asahi Dake, Japan
Powder connoisseurs say that Hokkaido gets some of the driest, fluffiest powder in the world, and snowfall is pretty much a certainty.
In Hokkaido, Mount Asahi is the tallest mountain at 2,290 meters. It's also a live volcano, which adds to the excitement. Asahikawa or Furano make for good bases.
Nearest airport: New Chitose (Sapporo), Hokkaido, Japan.
16. Skagway, United States
There's not much out here in Alaska in terms of luxury amenities (think quaint bed-and-breakfasts or motels – the town has a population of less than 1,000), but powder hounds will appreciate the mountain wilderness of Skagway that offers untracked couloirs and powder bowls.
Nearest airport: Skagway, Alaska, United States.
17. Island Lake Lodge, Canada
There are many ways to get up a mountain, but generally the speedier options make for higher traffic. Heli-skiing is an expensive option to access untracked powder, while snowcats are much cheaper.
Island Lake has four lodges and is the only operation that owns its terrain, around 2,800 hectares.
Nearest airport: Cranbrook, British Columbia, Canada.
18. Dunton Hot Springs, United States
There are hot springs all over Colorado, but few are as charming and luxurious as Dunton Hot Springs. Close to Telluride, this once-abandoned mining town has been restored, complete with an Old West saloon and dance hall, and has enough cabins to accommodate 42 people.
The whole town can be rented for a celebration. In winter, a host of activities from heli-skiing to dog-sledding and ice climbing are available. For those who prefer to watch the snow fall, the outdoor calcium bicarbonate hot spring pools offer the perfect vantage point.
Nearest airport: Durango, Colorado, United States.
19. Therme Vals, Switzerland
This is the perfect pilgrimage for snow-loving architecture buffs. Peter Zumthor designed this modernist temple to the healing waters of Vals. There are indoor and outdoor calcium sulfate and hydrogen carbonate baths ranging in temperatures from a 14 C ice pool to the 42 C fire pool. Guests can come for the day or stay in the hotel and access nearby Jochtal ski resort.
Nearest airport: Zurich, Switzerland or by rail to Illanz.
20. Nozawa Onsen
The Japanese have perfected the art of the hot spring bath. At Nozawa Onsen you can soak in the outdoor hot spring bath while snowflakes fall on your head, then head for a delicious kaiseki meal artfully served in your room. Nozawa Onsen combines these elements beautifully. Ryokan Sakaya and Kiriya are just two choices.
Nearest airport: Narita (Tokyo), Japan or by rail to Nagano.

When trying to port coreboot (previously LinuxBIOS) to a new mainboard you're often confronted with a big problem: the BIOS/ROM chip on the respective motherboard is soldered onto the board (i.e., not in a socket).
This means that you cannot easily (hot-)swap the chip during development or for recovery purposes. So you basically have exactly one try to flash the ROM chip with a fully working/booting coreboot image. If that goes wrong your board is bricked.
This makes it pretty much impossible to develop a coreboot port for such boards (and soldered-on ROM chips are becoming more and more common, unfortunately).
However, I've recently tried to replace the soldered-on (PLCC) ROM chip on one of my boards with a socket. What sounds pretty scary at first, especially given that I have almost non-existant soldering skills, turned out to be really not that hard. Also, it can be done with relatively cheap and readily available equipment.
I have written a short HOWTO for desoldering chips and soldering on sockets in the coreboot wiki, and also finished a video showing most of the process, which I hope will be helpful for others:
- archive.org: Ogg Theora, small (32 MB), Ogg Theora, big (154 MB)
- Youtube (FLV, small, 13 MB). Direct download:
$ youtube-dl -t 'http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=30x4oxyczH4'
- blip.tv: FLV, small (20 MB)
The video is CC-BY-SA 3.0, music is taken from ccmixter.org and is CC-NC 3.0 licensed. Video editing was done using Kino (which uses ffmpeg2theora for Ogg Theora export).
I also tried to upload the video to Vimeo, but first they told me to install the Flash 10 abomination (and there's no way I will do that). After browsing the help/forum pages a bit I found a traditional, non-flash upload form, but that then tells me that I cannot upload Ogg Theora videos. WTF?
The Ogg Theora video support feature request has been open for more that a year. Until that issue is fixed I'll just use other video services, thanks...

Front child seats
Front child seats
The attractions of a front seat are obvious. The child is right there, sees all that you see, sharing the experience of cycling in a far more intimate and stimulating way than when seated behind your bum. In front, they may even seem more protected, sheltered between your arms. You could grab and protect the child if anything bad happens, right? Wrong! The same was said of the now illegal practice of sitting a child on your lap in a car. But we must keep a sense of proportion. Cycling speeds are much slower than driving speeds and with each halving of speed, kinetic energy is quartered. The likely consequences of a cycling collision, regardless of seating arrangement, are therefore an order of magnitude lower than the dangers to which an unrestrained car occupant is exposed. Bicycle child seats moreover, are equipped with restraints, so ejection is unlikely.
On a bike, it's the adult who is unrestrained, and that's the special danger to which a front-seated child is exposed. Whilst a rear seated child is obviously imperilled by a rear collision, these are extremely rare in comparison to frontal cycling crashes. Such crashes have many causes: motor vehicles pulling into a cyclist's path, oncoming cycles on twisty narrow bikepaths, potholes and other obstructions, or the rider's own lack of judgement and control. Given the low speed of a bicycle, the consequences of these commonplace events are usually not too serious, but are magnified for an infant trapped between an adult with momentum and the object or surface collided with.
The addition of a front seat to a bicycle also makes such collisions more likely. Bicycles, due to their high centre of gravity compared to wheelbase, already have a greater tendency to tip over forwards and hence need further to stop than other vehicles (at the same speed). Adding mass in front of the rider shifts the centre of gravity forward, making the bike even more likely to tip over, or fail to stop before colliding! A rear seat on the other hand (provided the bike has effective brakes), adds ballast to improve stopping performance. So if the bike already has a child on the back, there's both a stronger reason for and less reason against adding a front seat.
In the Netherlands, where front child seats are more commonly used than in any other country, they are mostly used in addition to a rear seat. And Dutch city bikes have a couple of other attributes which equip them for a front seat. Their long wheelbase, shallow seat angle and upright riding position shifts the centre of gravity rearwards – for safer stopping with less risk of tip-over.
Being more upright also keeps the rider's body clear of the back of the seat, which is usually attached to the handlebars and fork, so it swings with the steering, so incidental contact with the rider's body hinders control of the bike. (Hence front seats are not allowed in Germany unless they're attached to the frame.)
Dutch city bikes also have swept-back handlebars (like everyday bikes used to have everywhere else, before we lost and forgot our everyday cycling traditions!) which bring the handgrips much closer to the rider and clear of any front-mounted seat. It also has to be acknowledged that the Dutch cyclepath and legal systems ensure that a cyclist can mostly keep rolling, with little risk of collision or an unexpected stop. Only in the Netherlands is it both safe enough and legal to ride a bike with no front brake!
The advocates of front seats will counter with the scary run-down-from-behind scenario! Both adult and child are likely to be seriously injured of course, even if the child is in front. And we most fear that which we cannot control, so it's natural for a cyclist to worry about being hit from behind. Thankfully such events are very rare – except on high-speed main roads.
These factors were discussed at length by the international panel of experts tasked with drafting EN14344, the European Standard for Child Seats for Cycles. We also consulted such data as could be found regarding the accidents and injuries suffered by cycle child seat passengers. There wasn't a lot, which is probably a good thing, but is also because the recording of crash details by hospital staff (police are seldom called to incidents that don't involve motor vehicles) is poor.
There was evidence nevertheless, that the sort of incidents one might predict with front seats do occur, but not enough to justify their prohibition in the face of the needs of parents with more than one child to transport, and the general benefits of cycling. There was a lot of very earnest discussion between the Netherlands and Germany on the relative disadvantages of fitting front seats to the frame or the handlebar. Both options remain in the Standard, which nevertheless requires an extra warning that front seats reduce the manoeuvrability of the bicycle. Rear collisions do not emerge as a serious problem in child seat incident data. I think this is probably because parents don't take their children cycling on high-speed main roads.
So now perhaps you can understand why our page on choosing a child seat tends to encourage the use of a rear child seat in preference to the frontal variety and recommends a trailer when two children must be transported. If you already have a long wheelbase bicycle however, with a bolt-upright riding position and swept back handlebars, and are fortunate to inhabit a neighbourhood with Dutch-like cycling conditions, seats both front and rear is another good solution.
Chris Juden is a former Senior Technical Officer at Cycling UK, he is an engineer and has over 40 years experience working in cycling. This is his personal view about front seats.
These remarks are thoughtful
These remarks are thoughtful and reasoned, and thank you for taking the time to offer this supplement to https://www.ctc.org.uk/guide/guide-to-child-bike-seats
Two points arise.
1. Neither this page nor https://www.ctc.org.uk/guide/guide-to-child-bike-seats
make any mention of the two-wheeled Bakfiets arrangement, with children seated in front but low down. This dutch solution is becoming popular in the UK (esp Cambridge) & has some of the benefits that critics of the CTC on this issue have celebrated in front seats. Perhaps it would help to cover this common option in addition to tricycles and trailers?
2. I suspect that those who happily use front seats may still be somewhat miffed by the danger-focused approach taken, despite it being both reasoned and thoughtful. I think this is partly because their position, too, is both reasoned and thoughtful, and also because it goes to things close at home. Fun and sharing, one might think, is a very weighty reason for all kinds of things, not excluding choices in child rearing, foreign travel, and bicycles. Probably Chris feels under an obligation to stress an assessment of risk, but I take it that this should not be misunderstood as advice on the proper weight to give to that assessment, in competition with other weighty reasons?
Can I in passing enter thanks about a temporary fix Chris performed on bust thread in my front derailleur, some time in the previous century? It worked happily for thousands of miles, and, when I against advice undertook foreign tour on a rusting vintage relic, Chris's repair had the decency to give out only on return.
P.S. I should add that I
P.S. I should add that I probably misrepresent the users of these forward child seats if I suggest that Fun is for them a weightiest or decisive reason. Practicality, convenience, and ride-ability have all been mentioned as reasons to weigh here.

The Department of Homeland Security has taken a positive step in one of the longer running procurement sagas of recent years, issuing downselect notices to several contractors to compete in the next phase of a controversial border security program, sources confirm.
According to the sources Elbit system through a U.S. subsidiary is in the shortlist of contenders.
Defense News says that although details of which companies received the notices are still sketchy, DHS confirmed to Defense News that the notices went out late last week, and two people with knowledge of the program have offered that General Dynamics, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and the American arm of the Israeli company Elbit have been selected to demonstrate their solutions for the government's Integrated Fixed Tower (IFT) solicitation.
A final contract award is expected in the September/October time frame of this year, a slight slip from the August target that had been floated earlier.
The IFT program is an ambitious attempt to install a series of surveillance towers along the US/Mexico border. The idea is to deploy a series of networked, integrated fixed towers (IFTs) equipped with radar and cameras that will "be able to detect a single, walking, average-sized adult" at a range of 5 miles to 7.5 miles during the day or night, while sending close to real-time video footage back to agents manning a command post.
Government documents have pegged the contract's value at about $1.1 billion, and the DHS fiscal 2014 budget request asked for $77.4 million for the IFT program.
Customs and Border Protection was originally expected to make a selection late last summer or early fall, but officials said that due to the larger-than-expected number of submissions, it would take them longer to evaluate the options.
The IFT program comes with a huge amount of baggage given the well-publicized failure of its precursor, the Secure Border Initiative (SBInet), which was canceled in January 2011 after spending $1 billion over six years while managing to cover only 53 miles of the 389-mile Arizona border.
That program's goals were essentially the same as that of the IFT program – to line the southern border region with a series of networked, fixed surveillance towers that would give border patrol agents real-time intelligence on who, or what, was moving about along the Mexican border.
Boeing was the lead Integrator on the project, and company officials are quick to point out that even with the program's cancellation, they did install 23 working tower sites in the Ajo and Tucson-1 sectors in the Arizona desert, all of which have been operating very successfully since March 2011.


text: Government workers might not be best known for their sense of style, but some Defense Department workers may soon be carrying Prada - the phones, that is. With a U.S. Department of Defense contract in hand, Open Kernel Labs is working with LG to develop a secure version of the Prada Android phone for the department's workers. Employees who have the phones will be able to access government data using secure apps, OK Labs said.The DoD has not made any commitments about the number of phones it plans to buy and OK Labs can't disclose exactly which applications will be secured on the phones, said Carl Nerup, vice president of global business and corporate development for OK Labs. The DoD can decide to let users switch between a personal section of the phone and a work section or simply load the secure apps onto the phones. In a press release about the deal, OK Labs said the companies are working on securing other devices including tablets and devices running other mobile platforms in addition to Android. The goal, OK Labs said, is to allow government workers to carry one phone. Some workers use two phones: one sanctioned by their employer for security reasons and another that the user chooses based on personal preferences. For the OK Labs technology to work, OEMs must build software into the phones before they are shipped and then apps must be made compatible with the technology. The result is a secure app running in a virtual machine that can't be accessed by malware that might be loaded onto the phone. As part of the deal, the DoD defines the requirements it's looking for on the phone and is funding its development, Nerup said. But LG will be able to sell the resulting upgraded version of the Prada outside of the DoD to security-conscious enterprises. OK Labs expects the phones to start being used by the DoD in mid-2012. The company couldn't say what the phones would cost but estimates they will sell for 10 percent to 20 percent above the wholesale price. Subsequent phone models shouldn't take quite as long to produce, particularly for an enterprise that doesn't have quite as arduous a process as the DoD has for introducing a new device, Nerup said.OK Labs has also released a white paper that covers virtualization in mobile devices. OK Labs hopes that the white paper will allow other vendors to model their systems on the architecture described, in order to sell similar kinds of virtualized phones to government agencies. Virtualization on mobile phones has been a hot topic recently. OK Labs, VMware and Red Bend are among companies virtualizing mobile phones so that the most security-conscious employees can use popular consumer phones for work applications.Verizon last year said it would sell an LG phone that offers virtualization technology from VMware, and Telefonica has announced plans to offer a Samsung phone with VMware's virtualization technology.

You may be familiar with the suicide booths of Futurama fame, but the automated death machine was perfected 20 years earlier. This is Erik Hobijn's 1990 performance art piece "The Delusion of Self Immolation," a machine that requires the participant to get sprayed in flames (and fire-resistant gel, of course). And no, this piece didn't come with a "clumsy bludgeoning" option.
Explains the STRP Festival of this baptism by fire:
The subject, coated with fire-resistant gel, stood on a rotating platform between a flame-thrower and a hose. The subject was automatically rotated to the extinguisher within approximately a half-second of being set on fire. Although subjects did not sustain real burns, they underwent a unique emotional experience. In addition to the momentary loss of the certainty about life, there was also the heightening of alertness and sensory perception.
As of 2000, 32 people had tested the machine. Additionally Hobijn built three settings into this machine: "rare," "medium," and "well-done." You can probably imagine which was the least unpleasant.

AIDS Linked to the IntraVenous Experience (ALIVE)
Welcome to ALIVE
The AIDS Linked to the Intravenous Experience (ALIVE) Study is a long-standing community-based research effort that includes past and current injection drug users (IDUs).
ALIVE has been ongoing since 1988 and is one of the longest-running community-based cohorts of IDUs in existence. The primary objectives when the study started were to characterize the incidence and natural history of HIV among injection drug users (IDUs). Since 1998, the research objectives have evolved to include characterization of access to and impact of treatment for HIV, evaluation of non-AIDS outcomes among an aging cohort as well as ascertainment of the incidence, natural history and treatment of co-infections such as hepatitis C virus and hepatitis B virus. Importantly, the ALIVE study serves as a platform for numerous other research studies focused on IDUs in Baltimore. These range in scope from focusing on HIV associated co-infections and comorbidities (e.g., HCV, HBV, liver, renal, pulmonary, cardiovascular, malignant, neurocognitive, metabolic and psychiatric diseases, and geriatric syndromes [multimorbidity, frailty, reduced physical function]) to intervention studies.
Thank you for visiting the ALIVE study website. You can use the navigation bar at the top or the quick links below to learn about our history, current and past research, upcoming events, study staff, opportunities to get involved with our projects, and much more.
The ALIVE study is funded by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH). NIDA's mission is to lead the nation in bringing the power of science to bear on drug abuse and addiction.

"Negative 500 and positive 500 average out to 0. Genomics enables you to look for the inferior calves that can pull your average down and move your progress backward," noted Pat Hoffman, a dairy replacement management specialist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, at a meeting focused on raising quality dairy heifers.
"Without genomics," added Hoffman, "the reliability on your heifer is zero for heifers without pedigree information." For heifers, the most practical time to implement the technology is prior to breeding. Providing an accuracy of 65 to 70 percent, genomics can assist you in defining a calf's future milk production along with a variety of other traits. Solely based on parentage, assuming this information is accurate, future production estimates are around 25 percent.
Genomics provides an opportunity to selectively mate heifers based on these traits at first breeding. "If a heifer is predicted to underperform on a trait such as fat production, you can correctively mate to improve this trait in her offspring at first breeding," noted Hoffman. "It's like having a bull proof, or detailed forage report on your heifer."
Using the technology enables you to make genetic progress in your herd at a more rapid rate. Genomic results provide an opportunity to move the bottom end off for a particular trait; it keeps you from taking the herd averages backwards. "When you have genomic information, it changes how you look at heifers in a pen," added Hoffman.
It provides information on which heifers will perform in the future and allows you to evaluate whether you should continue investing capital in a calf or not. From a practical standpoint, Hoffman recommended testing calves earlier rather than later. "Having results earlier, well before her first breeding, gives you more time to make decisions; to decide how long she will be in your heifer program.
"Genomic testing doesn't come without a cost," notes Hoffman. "Users must aggressively enhance female selection to recover the testing cost. You can't test all the animals in your herd and do little to nothing with the information."
Hoffman's final thoughts on the topic were:
- Genomics do require additional labor and management
- Calves will keep coming and you have to keep up
- The technology is best suited for prospering herds with an excess heifer supply
- With A.I., average genetic improvement is 166 pounds of milk per year. What is the potential with genomics?
Finally, he recommended producers think about these two questions before implementing the technology:
- Where will I be in 10 years?
- Where will the leaders in the industry be in 10 years?

- Enable "SSHd" is under the section titled "Secure Shell"
- 'SSH TCP Forwarding' does not need to be enabled if you just want to connect from the outside to your LAN.
- Choose an appropriate port (The default is 22, but it is recommended that you change it to a non-standard port above 1024 for security reasons. Remember the port number, as you will need to enter it into your SSH client in order to connect to the router)
- You can activate (less secure) password authorization and/or (recommended) private/public key authorization. More information about generating the keys can be found here: [[1]].
- Save
[edit] Enable Remote Access
- Goto the Administration tab and the Management sub-tab on the Web Interface
- Enable "SSH Management" under the section titled "Remote Access"
- Enter the same port number as specified under (4) above. This opens the port in the firewall.
- Save
- Reboot Router
Now you will be able to connect to your router's WAN IP from the internet using an SSH client such as PuTTY.
[edit] Disabling Remote Access
If at any time you wish to disable SSH access from the WAN,
- Goto the Administration tab and the Management sub-tab on the Web Interface
- Disable "SSH Management" under the section titled "Remote Access"
- Apply Settings
[edit] SSH Password
