Eugene A. Fitzgerald
- Fields of study
- Semiconductors
The groundbreaking work of Judy L. Hoyt and Eugene A. Fitzgerald involving strained silicon semiconductor materials has enabled the continued shrinking of integrated circuits, providing faster chips and devices. Based on Dr. Fitzgerald's breakthrough of successfully fabricating strained (Si) on relaxed silicon germanium (SiGe) (stretching the Si crystal when applied to another material) in 1990, Dr. Hoyt and colleagues at Stanford pioneered the application of strained silicon to increase carrier transport properties in Si metal-oxide field-effect transistors (MOSFETs). In 1992, Dr. Hoyt used thin strained layers of Si on top of a relaxed SiGe artificial substrate to demonstrate the first fully functioning strained-channel MOSFETs. She later showed potential for the strain-engineered high-performance MOSFETs; results that inspired industry to harness strain in modern Si integrated circuits. Dr. Fitzgerald's development of high mobility strained silicon on a low-defect relaxed SiGe spurred Dr. Hoyt's work. He was able to solve defect formation problems to allow the joining of Si and Ge. He also demonstrated that highly strained materials could be deposited in small areas or, alternatively, strain-free SiGe could be deposited over large areas with a very low defect density. The ability to engineer highly relaxed and highly strained levels on Si led to Dr. Fitzgerald creating the first high-quality, high-mobility strained Si material.
An IEEE Member, Dr. Fitzgerald is the Merton C. Flemings-Singapore MIT Alliance Professor of Materials Engineering with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge.

Expendables 2 , The (UK - DVD R2)
Marcus re-joins the team for this second outing and hopes for a better result....
While on a rescue mission The Expendables cross paths with Jean Vilain (Jean-Claude Van Damme) and when Jean has one of The Expendables killed, Barney Ross (Sylvester Stallone) swears to get revenge on the arms dealer that killed one of his men.
Heading into Bulgaria, on the trail of Vilain, The Expendables uncover a plot where their target intends to retrieve some refined Russian plutonium and sell it but when you are a target for the Expendables, don't expect your plan to run smoothly.
Ahhh The Expendables. A growing franchise that would have been huge in the mid-nineties but given that the action heroes that lead the film aren't the megastars they once were, today the super group of a cast ends up delivering films that are more about nostalgia than genuine good times.
For both of these Expendables movies I've wanted to like them more than I actually did. I really like the fun the cast are having, Stallone and Statham work well together as do te faces around them. I like that they all continue to think Lundgren works as comic relief for the films and even though the majority of the team have nothing to do but show off in the action sequences, this is a team I think could really shine if the stories didn't get so bogged down in real world issues, such as mistreated villagers and weapons deals.
Very little really works here beyond feeling comfortable around familiar faces. Van Damme steals the show as he genuinely seems to still have the abilities he had back in the day and he's a solid bad guy here (despite a total lack of screen time). Chuck Norris has a couple of moments that felt like a real celebration of the action legend and even though there's more Schwarzenegger this time around, it's still nowhere near enough for my liking.
Really, it's only when Stallone, Willis and Schwarzenegger team up in the last fifteen minutes or so that Expendables 2 becomes genuine balls out fun for me. The long winded plot to get to the end was just a little too heavy handed but when our heroes start shooting and bad guys start dropping this sequel became a blast. Sure, Arnie and Bruce are taking this much less seriously than Stallone seems to be and their sort of amusing banter is more embarrassing than funny but in my heart of hearts, this is still a big event for my movie loving soul and just having these 80s heroes side by side with big ol' guns still makes the kid in me grin. I just hope that if there is a third movie (supposedly there is with Jackie Chan on board too), they opt for a better plot, with more sizeable action and avoid these little, low budget 80s warfare type affairs. It just kills the potential fun you could have with this extremely likeable group of mercs I feel. Of course this would probably require a bigger budget too, which may not be forthcoming. I guess we'll just have to see how Arnie's much anticipated 2013 return effects these things.
I don't know if its a personal taste thing, or studios have just given up on DVD but I found this standard definition transfer to look pretty awful. The Expendables are gritty flicks, so that warrants a large amount of grain on screen but the digital noise here is really off putting. There are flashes of well lit, brighter scenes but the overall softness kills this presentation dead. There's just no real detail to anything and with a film that's made up of a lot of greys, dark blues and dirty greens, this just adds up to a murky looking affair in the hazy, smoke filled scenes this sequels loves playing in.
The super strong and often chaotic Dolby Digital 5.1 track here is a powerhouse of awesome. This track rocks the hell out all of its scenes, with machine gun fire, explosions and general disruption making good use of everything a decent surround sound system has to offer. Bassy, wide spread and just explosive stuff is thrown at you and even the dialogue feels pretty weighty too.
Everything here works, from Jet Li's tinging saucepan hits, to the pew pew bullets flying off of rumbling armoured cars. Yeah, sure it's sometimes a mess of sound but I'm fine with that, as with a cast like we have here I'd expect chaos and this sequel certainly brings it in the audio department, with a few extra thuds for good measure.
There are a ton of trailers opening the disc. Arnie's upcoming Last Stand (can't wait for this one), Silent Hill Revelation, The Possession, Tower Block, The Keith lemon Movie, The Tarantiono XX boxset and Texas Chainsaw 3D
The commentary with Simon West is a little undercooked and it's not just because you wish the cast were with him. He's a tad technical from time to time and likes bigging up his work (of which I have never been all that bothered with). He does okay for a solo track but he has a knack of talking about something in a scenes when you wish he'd talk about something else more exciting.
'Gods of War: Assembling Earth's Mightiest Anti-Heroes' (21:20) is a nice tie in to the Avengers hype of 2012 and is actually a pretty well rounded making of. Stallone is very honest about the previous film and is very much trying to improve on things here and the rest of the cast really just love being there.
'On the Assault: The Real Life Weaponry of Expendables 2' (13:03) has Randy Couture shooting guns real guns and gives us little factoids about them along the way. Last up are some deleted scenes (4:26) and a gag reel (04:56).
Expendables 2 is better than Expendables 1 but still has a way to go in terms of finding the franchise's soul. Tonally this sequel is better but it still can't decide if it has something to say about the world or if it's just out to blow stuff up. At this stage, I'd love the third one to be this vastly likeable crew in a glossier looking movie with bigger explosions and a more going on in the middle act. These movies could be much more entraining if they opted for a more mid 90s punch than late 80s grit in my opinion but maybe its because I'm the guy who wants more Arnie and less Stallone, much like I did back in the day. Anyway, the DVD release looks pretty awful in the video department, rocks major ass in the audio department and offers just enough of the good stuff in the extras.

If you happen to see a family in Southern California with kids ages 8, 10, and 13 at the beach just before midnight or perhaps bowling at 4 a.m., they're not related to Edward Cullen or any other vampires. They're just living on Martian time.
It's all part of NASA engineer David Oh's grand experiment to allow his family to share in an adventure of planetary proportions he's been involved in at work lately. Oh is the flight director for the Curiosity rover, currently wheeling its way along the surface of the Red Planet and occasionally blasting a Martian rock with a laser every now and then.
To give the wife and kids a taste of what it's like to ride along with Curiosity, Oh and his family synced their lives to Mars time. In a nutshell, because Martian days are 3 percent longer than ours on Earth, the Ohs add about 40 minutes daily, meaning that meals and everything else occur at a different Earth time each day. That's what led to the late-night family excursions to the beach and the bowling alley.
Turns out the inter-planet time zone shift has been educational for the Oh children on more topics than just astronomy. On a blog kept by the oldest son, Braden documents a late-night grunion run on the beach, wonders at the lack of traffic on normally busy intersections at 1 a.m., becomes a connoisseur of late-night diners, and finds ways to stop daylight from ruining his new sleep hours.
The Ohs went on Mars time when the rover landed on August 5, in solidarity with David and Curiosity. But with school about ready to start, the experiment will cease once Mars and Earth time next sync up.
The entire thing is so sweet and cool, it's impossible to read the blog and not feel like a lame parent by comparison. In addition to crazy memories of late-night adventures, the Oh children are perhaps the only kids around who can say they saw their first shooting stars ever in the middle of the day, even if it was a Martian Day.

Category talk:Neo1973 Hardware
From Openmoko
IrDA supported by Samsung S3C2410 and Samsung S3C2442
The processor the neo1973 Phase 1/Phase 2 are using/planning to use has native support for IrDA.
This is a legacy form of I/O but something could be supported with the current internal hardware.
Having the ability to communicate with older mobiles plus hopefully communicate with your average TV/DVD player would be a bonus.
I assume this would have been discussed before.

Artist Incorporates Braille Into Paintings so Visually Impaired Can Experience Artwork
Roy Nachum, 34, sculpts poems in Braille as backgrounds for his oil paintings as a way for the visually impaired to appreciate his work. His art — which will be featured at the POSH Arts & Interiors auction Monday — also experiments with color-blindness tests and reflective props, urging viewers with sight to confront their own limitations.
On the Ark, Two by Two, Creatures (and Performers) Great and Small
Benjamin Britten loved composing pieces for children, not just for children to enjoy but also to perform. There is no better example that "Noye's Fludde" ("Noah's Flood"), a 60-minute opera based on a 15th-century mystery play, written for amateurs, especially children, with professionals mixed in. This telling of the biblical story was first performed in 1958 at Orford Church in Suffolk, England. It was presented as part of Britten's Aldeburgh Festival with artists from the English Opera Group along with a large local cast, including a children's choir.
It was an inspired idea for Lighthouse International, an multifaceted organization serving people with vision loss, to celebrate the 100th anniversary of its Filomen M. D'Agostino Greenberg Music School by joining with Arts at the Park, an affiliate of Park Avenue Christian Church, for an enchanting production of "Noye's Fludde" on Friday night.
Disruptions: Visually Impaired Turn to Smartphones to See Their World
NEW YORK — Sunday, September 29, 2013 — In recent years, many smartphone apps that are aimed at blind people have appeared. Luis Perez loves taking photographs. He shoots mostly on an iPhone, snapping gorgeous pictures of sunsets, vintage cars, old buildings and cute puppies. But when he arrives at a photo shoot, people are often startled when he pulls out a long white cane.
In addition to being a professional photographer, Mr. Perez is almost blind
"With the iPhone I am able to use the same technology as everyone else, and having a product that doesn't have a stigma that other technologies do has been really important to me," said Mr. Perez, who is also an advocate for blind people and speaks regularly at conferences about the benefits of technology for people who cannot see.

March 26, 2013 -- Transit For All: How NYC's Public Transit Serves the Blind
In many ways, how we view public transportation reflects how we see our societies. Do we value shared resources, or prefer private ownership? Will vital services be available to all, or just a few? How accessible is it to those who are dependent on public transport to go about their daily lives? We went to New York City, where Reporter Britta Conroy-Randall took a trip with blind advocate Romeo Edmead to find out how easy to is for him gets around town.

Lighthouse International Celebrates AMD Awareness Week with the Re-Launch of "Twilight: Losing Sight, Gaining Insight" by Henry Grunwald.
This powerful book is a must for anyone who has personally experienced Macular Degeneration or other degenerative eye diseases. No one has told the story of vision loss more personally or poignantly than Mr. Grunwald.
"Twilight: Losing Sight, Gaining Insight" is now available in paperback, digital audio and eBook formats.
Additionally, the new paperback edition includes a foreword by Lighthouse President and CEO Mark G. Ackermann.
Dorrie Rush, Marketing Director, Accessible Technology at Lighthouse International, reviews the newly released e-book format on several digital devices: iPad, Kindle and Nook in time for AMD week, September 22nd- 30th.
Henry Grunwald was Managing Editor of Time Magazine and Editor In Chief of all Time, Inc. publications. His love for the written word was in his heart and soul. As a side effect of aging, Mr. Grunwald began to experience the slow, progressive loss of central vision caused by macular degeneration.
"Twilight: Losing Sight, Gaining Insight" speaks of a world millions are living in, yet few are willing to discuss; Mr. Grunwald felt as if he was involuntarily joining a "secret society." If you know someone with macular degeneration, this is a must read. He takes us into the dimming and distorted reality of central vision loss and leads us directly to the gifts of his gained insight.
I first read the book shortly after its publication in 1999 and was taken aback by the many experiences Henry and I had in common. I too was diagnosed with a degenerative disease of the macula and my eyesight was changing. I knew what it was like to stare in the face of an old friend and not recognize them; to ask someone a question then realize it is a statue I have spoken to; to leave my seat at an event and have trouble finding it again; to put on black socks and later discover they are brown; to pick up a book and not even be able to make out its title.
Documentary Airs on Saturday, October 6 at 3 p.m.
In Recognition of October's World Blindness Awareness Month
"Going Blind: Coming out of the Dark about Vision Loss," a documentary on the experience of coping with diminishing sight, begins airing on public television stations across the country this month in recognition of October's World Blindness Awareness Month, and National Disability Awareness Month. In the New York metropolitan area, "Going Blind" will be broadcast on WLIW21 (Channel 21) on Saturday, October 6, at 3 p.m.
The film follows Peabody-award winning director Joseph Lovett as he adapts to life with low vision caused by glaucoma, an optic nerve disease that robs 4.5 million people of their vision worldwide. Lovett meets and interviews several people along his journey, among them Dr. Bruce P. Rosenthal and Dr. Michael Fischer of Lighthouse's Low Vision Center. The Lighthouse's team of experts help introduce Lovett to the numerous resources available to people with vision impairment, in particular the life-changing devices and technologies which can be prescribed by low vision specialists.
"Going Blind" is a powerful documentary which underlines Lighthouse's central message -- that with help, hope and resources, people with impaired vision can continue to lead engaging, productive lives. Be sure to catch the screening this Saturday!

Vacca, Creative Mobile Technologies, Lighthouse International, former Governor Paterson to Unveil Pioneering Taxi Technology for Blind and Visually Impaired Passengers
Partnership leads to accessibility improvements for blind and visually impaired taxi riders in New York and around the nation
April 17, 2012, New York-- In partnership with Creative Mobile Technologies (CMT) and Lighthouse International, Council Member James Vacca, Chair of the Council Transportation Committee, and former New York Governor David A. Paterson today announced groundbreaking software enhancements designed to enable blind and visually impaired taxi riders to independently access the credit card payment system and other technology features in New York's yellow medallion taxicabs as well as taxi fleets around the nation.
CMT created adaptive software that will allow blind or visually impaired taxi passengers to hear the fare changing in regular intervals during the trip and facilitate all aspects of the credit card or cash payment functions upon reaching their destination, including selection of payment options, verification of fare and selection of tip percentages. CMT's audible touch screen system, which can be activated by a special card or by simply asking the driver, will transform the screen into large, easy-to-navigate sections that are operated by touch and prompted by step-by-step spoken instructions.
"I consistently hear that New York City is one of the most difficult places for blind and visually impaired individuals to navigate," said Vacca. "The payment system in taxicabs has been a great improvement for passengers, and visually impaired riders deserve to enjoy the same benefits of that system. This nationwide initiative to make taxis more accessible for visually impaired riders is a major achievement, both for the industry, and for this community. I want to commend CMT and Lighthouse for making this a priority. This technology will make a real difference for people who need it." Read more.

Eyebobs Teams Up With Style Icon and Friend of the Lighthouse, Iris Apfel
Famous for her signature eyeglasses, inimitable style icon Iris Apfel joins forces with eyebobs, designer of eyewear for the irreverent and slightly jaded, to create an exclusive collection. The collaboration launches with a special, limited edition "Iris" frame in January 2012 and rolls out to a full "eyebobs by Iris Apfel" collection in 2013.
To kick off the partnership, eyebobs will embark on a year-long charity initiative. Beginning in January 2012, eyebobs will introduce "Iris," an oversized round frame available both as a sun reader and a polarized sunglass. Proceeds from the sale of this frame will benefit Lighthouse International, one of Ms. Apfel's favorite charities.
Eyebobs will then expand on its partnership with Ms. Apfel with the "eyebobs by Iris Apfel collection" in 2013, a line including readers, sun readers and polarized sunglasses. This collection will be sold in specialty stores, optical shops and online at eyebobs.com. Prices will range from $75 to $99.
"Without a doubt, eyewear is an important accessory because it can change your whole look, and I think accessories are the most important part of a woman's wardrobe. The beauty of eyebobs is that the price points allow for different frames for different looks," says Ms. Apfel, the subject of an upcoming documentary directed by "Grey Gardens" filmmaker AIbert Maysles.
November 2, 2011: Lighthouse International Hosted VisionServe Alliance 2011 Fall Executive Conference
Seventy-five executive directors, CEOs and leaders of nonprofit vision rehabilitation organizations from across the country attended the VisionServe Alliance 2011 Fall Executive Conference and Meeting at Lighthouse International from October 26-29.
The VisionServe Alliance Conference is a national forum for executive directors and CEOs of private agencies and organizations that specialize in serving people who are blind or visually impaired.
The event provided an opportunity for the leaders to share information, learn the latest developments and best practices in the field and improve the effectiveness of their organizations. Topics ranged from the need for health care reform to cover people who are blind and visually impaired, to fundraising techniques and the latest in technology. Guest speakers included Congresswoman Nan Hayworth, M.D., who discussed a range of issues affecting nonprofits, including the impact aging baby boomers will have on legislation.
"We were very pleased to host our colleagues for this important annual meeting," said Mark G. Ackermann, President and CEO of Lighthouse International. "We had productive and fruitful sessions on how we can better serve our clients and improve our efficiency in challenging economic times."
If you don't know someone with vision loss today, chances are you will in the very near future. Eye diseases such as macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, glaucoma and cataracts are robbing baby boomers, our parents and grandparents — all of us — of precious vision in record numbers. There are 61 million Americans at high risk for serious vision loss. The VisionServe Alliance Conference is an important event that brings together leaders in the visually impaired community to discuss ways to improve the services available to the blind and visually impaired. The 100 organizations in the VisionServe Alliance serve people who are blind and visually impaired through a variety of programs such as education, rehabilitation and advocacy.

September 8, 2011: Lighthouse International Holding Congressional Briefing on Diabetes and Vision Loss
Lighthouse International, the 106 year-old leading nonprofit organization fighting vision loss, and nine major nonprofit organizations will hold an important Congressional Briefing on the link between diabetes and vision loss on September 13, 2011 from 12 to 2 p.m. in Washington D.C. at the Rayburn House Office Building, Room B-339. This briefing will focus on the growing number of people with diabetes and vision loss and the ramifications such projected growth will have on public health policy.
Mark G. Ackermann, President and CEO of Lighthouse International will be the presenter. The featured speaker will be Neil Bressler, MD, The James P. Gills Professor of Ophthalmology, Chief - Retina Division, The Wilmer Eye Institute, Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine and Hospital. "More than 25 million Americans have diabetes and the numbers are increasing," said Mark G. Ackermann. "Diabetes is the leading cause of new cases of blindness in the United States among adults age 20 to 74."
Low vision and vision rehabilitation services are vital to the increased health, independence and safety of people with vision loss. By increasing medicine compliance and early access to vision rehabilitation some of the major complications of uncontrolled diabetes can be prevented.
Co-sponsors of this annual event are: Alliance for Eye and Vision Research, American Academy of Ophthalmology, American Diabetes Association, American Foundation for the Blind, American Optometric Association, American Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, Prevent Blindness America, The Vision Council and VisionServe Alliance. Lunch will be served at this well attended event.

September 7, 2011: Lighthouse International Releases New Low Vision Publication
A comprehensive, updated publication, The Lighthouse Clinician's Guide to Low Vision Practice, from the experts at Lighthouse International, is now available from the 106 year-old nonprofit leader in vision rehabilitation and education. The 200-page book will serve as the seminal text for training ophthalmology and optometry students and residents, as well as practicing clinicians, in the principles of low vision clinical care and vision rehabilitation.
"The guide addresses the needs clinicians have in dealing with a population that has vision loss but some functional, usable vision," said Dr. Eleanor E. Faye, MD, FACS, Lighthouse International Medical Director Emerita, and a pioneer in low vision. "We believe that the benefits of taking a functional approach will carry over to your general eye care patients as well."
The Lighthouse Clinician's Guide to Low Vision Practice helps clinicians understand low vision principles, enhances their knowledge of disease consequences, provides insight for addressing patient complaints, and increases the effectiveness of treatment – both medical and surgical – through low vision rehabilitation.
The guide has been endorsed by, Mary Lou Jackson, MD, Chair of Vision Rehabilitation Committee, American Academy of Ophthalmology and John Musick, OD, Chair of the Low Vision Section of the American Academy of Optometry.
This book will help ophthalmologists and optometrists learn to:
- Identify low vision patients
- Evaluate functional impairment and correlate it to a patient's disease
- Assess how medical and surgical interventions impact a patient's functional vision
- Perform low vision refraction and prescribe appropriate low vision optical devices
- Integrate low vision care and vision rehabilitation components into their practice
- Recognize how vision rehabilitation specialists can improve the quality of life for patients
The book was supported by a grant from the Sanna and Victor Borge Memorial Fund. The book costs $39.95 plus shipping. To order please fill out an order form or contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or (212) 821-9470. For more information, read our press release.
August 22, 2011: Lighthouse International Partners with Dialog in the Dark
As a leading nonprofit organization fighting vision loss, Lighthouse International is pleased to partner with Premier Exhibitions Inc., presenters of the Dialog in the Dark exhibit in New York City.
Dialog in the Dark, which opened on August 20, 2011, is a unique sensory tour of New York City where visitors are led by visually impaired guides through a specially constructed and totally darkened exhibition. Dialog in the Dark is an invitation to experience the world in another way and to re-discover New York using all of your senses except sight.
The exhibit replicates familiar Manhattan environments and landmarks and challenges individuals to navigate through these galleries in total darkness. A reversal of roles is created as blind and visually impaired guides introduce you to the world they know. Visitors are taken out of their comfort zone and familiar surroundings and daily routines become a new experience. Guides provide security and a sense of orientation and show us our eyes are not the only windows on the world.
Prior to entering the exhibition, visitors are provided with walking canes and given a tutorial on how best to use them before meeting their guides, all of whom hail from New York. For the next 45 minutes, Dialog in the Dark guides will be the link to the world around them leading small groups expertly and securely through a variety of interactive environments. Visitors will maneuver through well-known New York City locales, while New York-centric scents, sounds, temperatures and textures create an unforgettable experience.
Dialog in the Dark's guides, like Eliza Cooper, were hired through Lighthouse International. "This exhibit powerfully touches everyone – and reinforces the importance of protecting and preserving our vision, as well gaining an important understanding of the courage and challenges for those who have visual impairment," said Mark G. Ackermann, President and CEO of Lighthouse International. "More and more Americans are facing vision loss and awareness of the issues and how to help is critical for us all. We are honored to partner with Dialog in the Dark and bring our expertise and perspective to this extraordinary experience."
Visit Dialog in the Dark New York City at 11 Fulton Street in South Street Seaport. The exhibition runs through 2012. For more information, visit Dialog in the Dark.
August 3, 2011: Lighthouse International Recruiting for New BrainPort Research Study
The Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute at Lighthouse International is recruiting subjects for a new study using BrainPort, a breakthrough device that allows individuals who are blind to "see" the shapes of objects.
Using BrainPort, subjects wear sunglasses with a small camera wired to a flat mouthpiece that sends electrical pulses to the users tongue. The pulses transmit the shape of the object seen by the camera, allowing the user to "see" what is before him or her. A hand-held control boosts the intensity of the pulses from mild to strong, zooms in or out, and increases the contrast of objects making them easier to sense.
"Testing ground-breaking technology to improve the quality of life of sight-impaired people is the core of our mission," said Dr. William Seiple, Vice President of Research and Director of the Arlene R. Gordon Research Institute at Lighthouse International.
Lighthouse International is looking for individuals to participate in the BrainPort study. Individuals who qualify will be trained to use the device and will be allowed to take the device home for a period of up to one year. The subjects must agree to use BrainPort at home for at least five hours per week and to return to Lighthouse International for testing every three months. Subjects who qualify will be compensated for their time.
If you are blind with no light perception and are interested in participating, please contact Ed Pei at (212) 821-9496 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
BrainPort has been featured on CNN, ABC Good Morning America, Fox News and Scientific American!

June 20, 2011: Child Development Center Dedicated The Ethel and Samuel J. LeFrak School
The Child Development Center at Lighthouse International was dedicated The Ethel and Samuel J. LeFrak School in recognition of a very significant donation by Mrs. LeFrak. Lighthouse International officially announced the dedication during a ceremony honoring Mrs. LeFrak on June 15, 2011. "Mrs. LeFrak's extraordinary support will not only enable us to upgrade our facilities and technology but also explore opportunities to serve a greater number of children in the metropolitan area," said Mark G. Ackermann, President and CEO of Lighthouse International. "Our children will benefit from her generosity for generations to come."
Children from The Ethel and Samuel J. LeFrak School opened the ceremony by singing two songs before Broadway star, Brian Stokes Mitchell, made a surprise appearance and serenaded Mrs. LeFrak.
"I am glad to give this gift to the Lighthouse," said Mrs. LeFrak. "When I visited the school I was so touched by the children. The Lighthouse teachers and staff help the children overcome many obstacles to gain the strength and confidence they need for their future development."
The funds donated by Mrs. LeFrak will be used for new classrooms and updated teaching technologies. The Ethel and Samuel J. LeFrak School has openings for 120 children. It is nationally and internationally recognized as a model program where preschoolers who are visually impaired learn side-by-side with their sighted peers. The curriculum is especially designed to use all the senses to provide an enriching environment for all the children. The school also provides home and school-based early intervention services for infants and toddlers who have developmental delays.

Pure Awesomeness: Two Chat Bots Talking To Each Other
from the au-revoir dept
Female Cleverbot: How are you?From there it only gets better. I was going to make a comment on a corollary to the Turing test, and how perhaps we still have a ways to go, but honestly, parts of the conversation sound like the bickering of some married couples I know... so perhaps they're on to something.
Male Cleverbot: Great, you?
FC: I am okay.
MC: That's good.
FC: Are you good?
MC: Yes, I am good. I just said I was.
FC: No you didn't. I said I was.
MC: So you are a robot.
FC: No, my name is Cleverbot.
MC: Yes, you are a robot and your name is Cleverbot.
FC: I am a robot.


text: So - i allready know that you can't migrate a ISPCONFIG 2 System to 3. but i plan to migrate every web / mail from an existing ubuntu 10.04 LTS LAMP System ( courier IMAP) to a new System ( Using Ubuntu 12.04 LAMP with dovecot (?) - using this install howto: http://www.howtoforge.com/perfect-server-ubuntu-12.04-lts-apache2-bind-dovecot-ispconfig-3 ). Has someone allready done this ? Any hints and Tips on this ? The old server houses around 10 web projects - mostly using CMS Systems and around 30 mailboxes. It would be very good if i can make the transition in such a way that the customers don't need to change their mail-configs. At the Moment they al use a common URL for Mail-access (like example.net) and i plan to switch over the url in the process so that they don't need to change the mail-configs - but this would also imply that i have to bring over all the maildatas and all the passwords and reproduceall the mailacounts with exactly the same account-inromations (in this context: is it a bad idea to switch the imap-software ? has dovecot any benefits over courier ? all the howtos seem to include dovecot instead of courier) i would be very glad for any help !!

Are you looking for how to get a girl to send nude pics?
- Establish trust. Trust is the most important aspect of this strategy. It doesn't matter how many tricks of the trade you're given; if you cannot get a girl to trust you, then she will not give you any nude pictures of her. Show that she can confide in you not to share certain information she would not want anyone else to know by keeping what she tells you close to your chest. This includes small things like the fact that she's intensely afraid of kangaroos or the fact that she's neurotic about matching colors in her wardrobe. Don't make her feel judged for the things she shares, and even if you have an opinion, express that it doesn't change how you feel about her and that you're open to understanding her perspective. Once she feels she can trust you, the pathway to asking for nude pics becomes much smoother and clearer.
- Make her feel desirable. Stroking her ego is as important as ever right now. Play up her sexy attributes and assuage her insecurities by telling her how hot and sexy she is. You have to use sexually-charged words, but also be aware of inserting sensually-charged language as well. Most women want raw sensuality blended into their interactions with you. While most of the ways you'll describe her drip with sexual fever, play on her need to feel like a goddess by telling her how beautiful she is, how gorgeous she is and how lovely her face or other less sexual features (soft skin and amazing hair are good examples) are. Even when she tries to downplay anything on her body, ignore it and tell her nobody's perfect but she comes damn close for you.
- Set the mood by being the example. You're the man, take control and take the lead. Being one-sided when it comes to sharing sexy, nude pics is completely unfair. Selfish sexting is as much of a turnoff as selfish foreplay and sends subtle indications that you are selfish in the sack. The best way to get her to send you nude pics is to start sending racy material yourself. As you flirt with her, send her something sexy, like a pic of you shirtless or the straining bulge of your thick erection in sweatpants. You can expose more as you like, but make it clear that you would love to see her reciprocate in kind. A word of caution: Don't just give to get. Yes, set the example and put yourself out there first, but be comfortable with your body so there are no regrets in any of your actions. Share as you please in hopes she'll reciprocate, but don't create hard expectations that she'll repay in kind.
- Ask for what you want but respect her boundaries. Whenever you've gotten her mood prepped just right, suggest that you'd love to see a sexy personal photo of her. Ask her for a pic, but show respect if she turns your request down for any reason. Don't pressure her to change her mind, just apologize and keep the convo going. If you stop talking abruptly, she'll read you as a jerk and you won't get anything from her – ever.
- Don't share the goods! Her pics are for your eyes only! Girls are aware of guys sharing their sexy photos with their friends, or even worse, putting them on those homegrown sites. Don't ever share her pics with anyone, not even your best friend. Even if you break this rule, show them from your phone or your email, but do not forward their pictures!
- Show appreciation! You got the girl to send nude pics, now make sure she knows how much they turn you on by explicitly telling her what you're thinking about as you gaze at them. This will allow her to feel comfortable and sexy enough to show more in the future.
- Wash, rinse, repeat. Need one say more?

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled unanimously that police must have a warrant to search the content inside a cell phone of a person who has been arrested.
The decision is the result of two cases that were brought to the Supreme Court, Riley v. California and U.S. v. Wurie, both of which involved police who searched the content of cell phones of people who had been arrested but without asking for a warrant beforehand.
However, in a decision written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the nine members of the Supreme Court all agreed that "police generally may not, without a warrant, search digital information on a cell phone seized from an individual who has been arrested."
The court did state there will be a few exceptions to this rule, such as cases that involve kidnappings and bomb threats that generate what the judges consider to be "exigent circumstances". However, today's decision finally does offer solid guidance on what the police can and cannot do when they arrest people with cell phones.
What do you think about this new court ruling and do you support the fact that police will now need to get a warrant before they can search inside the contents of a cell phone?

Bending Walla Walla
by Richard Burton, Publisher
There's no tiptoeing around the matter. Former Steptoeville, known now as "the town so nice they named it twice", Walla Walla's residents are hell-bent on blaming Bend for their recent outbreak of rurbia. A phenomenon occurring throughout the West, rurbia is a blending of urban, rural and suburbia.
The fate of nearly 360 acres of Walla Walla farmland lies in the hands of county commissioners. If approved, the development will include 365 new homes, a 65-unit hotel and restaurant, a nine-hole golf course and 10 miles of trails. The developer, Abito, formerly known as Pennbrook Homes is from Bend.
For Walla Wallans to point fingers and plaster "Don't Bend Walla Walla" bumper stickers on their vehicles and around their community is simply unfair. Bend is the 6th fastest growing city in the nation. It's inevitable that nearby towns and communities will be impacted by such growth. Powerful economic growth from surrounding communities only adds to the expansion as is common now, particularly in the West. Other cities such as Telluride, Durango and Bozeman have experienced this same supernova explosion.
Famous for their superb sought-after Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, Walla Walla is now home to 64 wineries and 40 vineyards with an estimated economic impact of more than $100 million annually. Walla Walla is no one-horse town. Tourism has grown substantially with wine lovers flocking to Washington wine country. More hotels are needed regardless of the ongoing golf course community debate.
Just as the arrival of the railroad in 1911 put Bend on the map, so has wine for Walla Walla. Californians are migrating there by the droves. Blaming Bend for wine lovers migrating to wine country is absurd. Wine aficionados travel in wide circles. Word gets around, and fast.
The locals in Walla Walla speak of loss of small town feel, loss of friendly folk, high prices, huge hotels, even the fear of not enough water for the wheat farms. And then in a most un-neighborly fashion, take the name of a great town, bending it onto the backs of car bumpers in an effort to stop the inevitable.
What's so bad about Bending Walla Walla? With bigger expansion comes more cultural diversity, more exposure to the arts and music, sports and business. Besides robust wine and flavorful, sweet onions, Walla Walla provides an address for convicted felons. Surely by bending Walla Walla a bit, the state penitentiary could become less of a point of interest. Rurbia may remedy this. The disease in itself may become the cure.
"Don't Bend Walla Walla!" Not to worry. Bend doesn't bend. It curves and sways with winding rivers, picturesque scenery, breathtaking mountains and blending cultures. Bend residents are generally too busy skiing, hiking, fishing, boating, spelunking, rafting, camping, golfing and rock climbing to bother with bumper stickers. Oregon

Look, it's not breaking news that working as a physical trainer or fitness instructor makes you fit. Duh. In that line, it's an essential job requirement: "People will always judge you on your appearance," says certified personal trainer Joshua Margolis, of Mind Over Matter Health.
Additional no-brainers in this "fit jobs" category include dancers and athletes. Any active job requiring moving all day, like bike messengers, farmers, construction workers, and landscapers also come to mind. But for this slideshow, we went beyond the most obvious to find some of the less commonly cited occupations in the category—including one we can practically guarantee you didn't know was a legitimate job.

Amarillo, TX – Fr. Frank Pavone, National Director of Priests for Life, commented today on the concern some pro-life activists expressed upon hearing pro-life leaders praise the President for promising to veto legislation that would weaken Federal laws and policies on abortion. These activists asked, "How can you 'weaken' Federal policies and laws on abortion when present abortion laws and policies allow an unborn baby to be legally butchered at any time from conception to the nanosecond before a hair or a toe of the baby emerges from the birth-mother's vagina?"
Fr. Pavone said, "Amen! I want to thank these activists for raising this point, as I also have done many times. We need plain talk about abortion – it is a daily holocaust, and it must end. In thanking the President for opposing the efforts of the abortion activists to do things like force taxpayers to pay for more abortions, we must not lose sight of the fact that the fundamental problem remains – namely, the law allows these babies to be murdered."
"I do thank the President for his stand on life. I also challenge all my fellow citizens – Wake up! Look at the reality of what we are tolerating. Examine the pictures of the butchered babies; read the descriptions of the procedures that kill them. And then ask yourself, before God, what you're going to do to stop it."
Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia. For more information, visit www.priestsforlife.org

Cass Gilbert's Palace of Fine Arts: A Visual History of
the Saint Louis Art Museum Building is a digital resource providing
online access to archival images and information documenting the Saint Louis
Art Museum's historic home in Forest Park.
The Saint Louis Art Museum's building was designed by renowned American
architect Cass Gilbert for the 1904 Louisiana Purchase Exposition, also known
as the World's Fair. Originally part of the Palace of Fine Arts, the Museum was
the only building from the Fair designed to be a permanent structure, the "one
material monument of the Exposition." It stands as a reminder of that defining
event in the history of the city of St. Louis and the State of Missouri.

twang - pluck pieces of the screen
twang [−display host:display.screen] [−foreground color] [−background color] [−window] [−root] [−mono] [−install] [−visual visual] [−shm] [−no-shm] [−delay usecs] [−duration secs] [−border-color color] [−border-width integer] [−event-chance fraction] [−friction fraction] [−springiness fraction] [−tile-size integer] [−transference fraction] [−fps]
Twang divides the screen into equal-sized tiles, and then plucks them in various ways. Tiles are affected by their neighbors, so waves of motion flow through the grid. This manpage describes v1.3 of the program.
twang accepts the following options:
Draw on a newly-created window. This is the default.
Draw on the root window.
If on a color display, pretend we're on a monochrome display.
Install a private colormap for the window.
−visual visual
Which visual to use. Legal values are the name of a visual class, or the id number (decimal or hex) of a specific visual.
Use the shared memory extension (or not, respectively), if available. This may speed things up a bit, but probably won't make that much difference. If available, defaults to true, resource useSHM.
−delay microseconds
The interframe delay, in microseconds. Defaults to 10000, resource delay.
−duration seconds
How long to run before loading a new image. Default 120 seconds.
−border-color color
Color of the border surrounding each tile. Defaults to blue, resource borderColor.
−border-width integer
Width of the border surrounding each tile. Defaults to 3, resource borderWidth.
−event-chance fraction
The chance, per iteration, for an event to occur (such as tweaking the orientation of a tile), in the range 0..1. Defaults to 0.01, resource eventChance.
−friction fraction
How much friction there is in the system, in the range 0..1. This is the amount by which velocities are damped per iteration. Defaults to 0.05, resource friction.
−springiness fraction
How springy the tiles are, in the range 0..1. This is the fraction of an orientation that gets turned into a velocity towards the center (resting point). Defaults to 0.1, resource springiness.
−tile-size integer
Size (width and height) of each tile, not including the outer edge of the border. Defaults to 120, resource tileSize.
−transference fraction
How much a tile's neighbors affect it, in the range 0..1. This is the fraction of an orientation of a neighbor that gets turned into a velocity in the same direction Defaults to 0.025, resource transference.
Display the current frame rate and CPU load.
to get the default host and display number.
to get the name of a resource file that overrides the global resources stored in the RESOURCE_MANAGER property.
There are resource equivalents for each option, noted above.
twang should have more interesting events.
Ways of speeding it up need to be investigated. It's kinda sluggish,
especially on hugeass displays.

Carl Zimmer is a blogger and writer for both The New York Times and Discover Magazine, which also hosts his blog, The Loom. Zimmer writes on a wide range of scientific topics. He is the author of 12 books, the most recent of which is Science Ink: Tattoos of the Science Obsessed. When Zimmer asked on his blog how many scientists out there had tattoos, he was inundated with photo submissions and commentary, which he has collected into the neat book you can see and order below. It's our pleasure to share some of them…
Melissa writes,
I have a mathematical tattoo on my left forearm. It's in Frege's notation, (from "Grundgesetze der Arithmetik") which was one of the first modern logical notations. If it were written on a flat surface, it would start with the short vertical line, which is the assertion sign. What it asserts is: If {Cantor's theorem} then {heart}.
Cantor's Theorem says that the power set of any set is strictly larger than the set itself. (The power set of a set is the set of all its subsets.) For finite sets, this is pretty obvious; for example, the power set of {1,2} is {{}, {1}, {2}, {1,2}}. In general, if a finite set has n members, its power set has 2^n. But Cantor's Theorem is also true for *infinite* sets, which is kind of unexpected. After all, the set of all even numbers is the same size as the set of all numbers — why does the power set of the set of all numbers have to be bigger?
That's why the proof of the theorem is so cool. It proves it for finite sets and infinite sets, no matter how huge, at the same time. You start by assuming that some arbitrary set S has the same number of members as its power set P(S). That is, assume there's a one-one function f which maps the members of S to the members of P(S). Now consider the set D, which consists of all and only the members of S that don't get mapped to a set of which they're a member. (So, for instance, if 7 is a member of S, and f(7) = {4, 5, 12}, then 7 is in D because it's not a member of f(7).) D is a subset of S, so it's a member of P(S). That means that f maps some member of S, call it d, to D. But: is d in D or not? If it is, then it's a member of f(d), so by the definition of D, it's not in D. If it's not in D, then it's not a member of f(d), so, again by the definition of D, it's in D. Either way leads to a contradiction, and there's only one way out: it's not possible to have a one-one function from any set to its power set. QED! (Of course, you also have to prove that P(S) can't be *smaller* than S, but that's easy.)
When I saw how short and simple (and beautiful!) the proof of such a powerful theorem was, I knew I could spend the rest of my life doing set theory and logic. So last year, when I got my bachelor's degree in philosophy and went on to grad school, I celebrated by getting the theorem tattooed on my arm. As for the tattoo itself, it's easiest to read from the bottom. The stuff on the right-hand side of the '=' means: for all a, if a is in r, then a is in u. (In other words, r is a subset of u.) The whole bottom line means: for all r, r is in v if and only if it's a subset of u. (So v is the power set of u.) The bottom line and the one above it together mean: if v is the power set of u, then v is strictly bigger than u. So those two lines state Cantor's Theorem, and the whole tattoo means: if Cantor's Theorem, then {heart}. (Incidentally, I got that heart symbol from an illustration in Alice in Wonderland. It's the top of the King of Hearts's crown.)

In some companies, safety training programs are merely "check-off–the-box" exercises for compliance purposes. Companies with these low-information programs predictably have major "accidents." In other companies, the management is dedicated to promoting a safety culture. This is the kind of company you want to work for or help change your company into if it's not there yet.
Nevertheless, even extensive safety training doesn't make anybody any safer. A safe workplace exists only when you and your coworkers use what you learn. It's not the training that makes you safe, but how you apply the training.
Attitude is the key to staying safe. Rather than look at safety as something that interferes with your work, look at it as your guiding principle for every task you do. Think of safety as how you work, rather than a hindrance to your work. Bonus: Safe work practices, due to their methodology, can provide a net increase of efficiency.
