HyperStar C6 Updated
Starizona's HyperStar C6 lens has a new optical design for 2016! It can now cover image sensors up to 16mm, making it compatible with the popular new Sony sensors in cameras like the Atik 4120EX and Starlight Xpress Trius SX-814. With a field of view up to 2.5 x 2.0 degrees, a Celestron 6" SCT with HyperStar is an awesome, portable wide-field imaging system.
SCT Corrector II
Our popular Starizona SCT Corrector, a focal reducer and coma corrector for Schmidt-Cassegrain telescopes, has been updated. The new design improves the reduction factor from 0.75x to 0.63x while maintaining the same backfocus, allowing for the use of most common camera setups. The SCT Corrector II can cover up to an APS (27mm) sensor size. For larger sensors up to 43mm, we offer a large format SCT Corrector LF for C11 and C14 telescopes.
Check out this single 8-second exposure of Comet Lovejoy and the Little Dumbbell Nebula taken by Starizona customer John Dolby using a HyperStar lens, CPC1100 telescope, and Canon 6D camera at ISO6400:
John says: "You've turned me into a lazy astronomer. While others work very hard and long, I set up quickly, shoot even more quickly, and put everything away quickly. This picture is a good example. Admittedly, I already knew the super wide-angle of the HyperStar and 6D combo was going to fit both of these targets (Lovejoy and M-76) onto a single frame. But I was shocked to take a single 8-second exposure (yes, not a typo: 8 seconds!) and then just stop and pack things up for the night, because I was already happy with what I got. Thanks again for the HyperStar! I'm really a fan of f/2. Anything else is too slow."
Baader f/2 Highspeed Filters
Baader Planetarium's new f/2 Highspeed Filters are perfect for fast optical systems like HyperStar. Normal narrowband (Ha, OIII and SII) filters are not ideal with fast systems because of the wavelength shift caused by the fast light cone. Baader's Highspeed filters are pre-shifted to match f/2 optical systems, allowing for better transmission characteristics.
CGEM Landing Pad
Polar aligning your Celestron CGEM or CGEM DX mount is now easy! The Starizona CGEM Landing Pad provides a much finer, super-smooth, backlash-free azimuth adjustment for precisely aligning a CGEM mount. It also makes lining up the mount on its tripod simple.

Oculars plugin
This plugin serves several purposes:
- the primary use is to see what the sky looks like through a particular combination of eyepiece and telescope. I wanted to be able to get an idea of what I should see when looking through a physical telescope, and understand why one eyepiece may be better suited to a particular target. This can also be very useful in deciding what telescope is best suited to a style of viewing. And with the support for binoculars, you now have the ability to understand just about any type of visual observing.
- to show what a particular camera would be able to photograph of the sky. Also to better plan what type of telescope (or camera lens) to pair with a particular camera to capture what you want.
- lastly, with the help of the Telrad sight, understand where object in the sky are in relation to each other. This can be very useful if you have a non-GOTO telescope, and to get an idea of how to star-hop from a known location to an area of interest.
None of these activities can take the plce of hands-on experience, but they are a good way to supplement your visual astronomy interests.
NOTE: this describes the 1.0 version of the plugin, which is distributed with the 0.11.0 release of Stellarium.
Using the Ocular plugin
The plugin is controlled through a popup menu (hot keys were disabled because of a lack of global ability to edit the keys used throughout the application). By default, the hot key to display the popup is Option-O (Alt-O for non-Mac users). This can be changed in the configuration dialog. The menu will popup where your cursor is located.
What options are available on the popup menu depend on what you are currently doing. The default popup looks like the following.
The menu is navigated by either the arrow keys on your keyboard, or by your mouse. The up and down arrow keys move the selection up or down the menu, and the left and right arrow keys display or hide sub-menus. NOTE: the numbers after the menu items should be activations keys; however, I have been unable to get thee to work. I am still trying to do so.
In the default menu, you can choose to configure the plugin, activate a CCD, or activate the Telrad finder.
CCD Sensors
This is a great way to get an idea of what a particular camera will be able to capture when attached to a particular telescope or lens. For camera lenses, you must still define a telescope with the appropriate values for the lens to be used. When activate, this feature will display a red bounding box of the area that will be captured, as well as zooming in to give a better view of the surroundings. You can manually zoom in or out from there.
The default CCD will display similar to the following.
In the information area in the upper right hand corner, you can see the angular size captured by the CCD.
When a CCD is displayed, the popup menu changes to the following.
Notice that you can select what telescope to use, as well as progress to the previous or next CCD, or go to a specific CCD. You can also rotate the CCD to better capture your subject, or to see if the CCD can be rotated in such a way as to catch the area of interest.
Once rotated, the image on screen display the new orientation.
Telrad Finder
The Telrad feature can be used without defining any of the items below. As a reflex sight is non-magnifying, this feature can only be enabled when no eye piece is selected.
The three circles that appear in the center of the screen are 0.5°, 2.0°, and 4.0° in diameter. They stay centered in the screen, so move the 'telescope' (click-drag the background) to center the circles on the object of interest. I find it useful to zoom in to better see what stars are in the circles. At the default angle of 60° on my 17" laptop screen, not too much is visible. Zooming in to around 40° gives a better image. The screen shots below show this.
The top image is the default 60°, and the bottom one is about 40°.
While the Telrad finder is active, the popup menu changes to the following; this reflects that you can not activate a CCD while the Telrad is active.
- Define some eye pieces and telescope (see below).
- Select an object to view (i.e. a star, planet, etc.)
- Click the tool bar button for toggling the Ocular mode, or press Command-O (control-o for non-Mac users).
- Swap between eye pieces and telescopes to see how the view changes.
This is really the area of interest to must users. This is a great way to compare different eyepiece/telescope combinations, to see how they change the view of the sky. And now, it's easy to do so with binoculars too. To show this, I'll use a target of the M37 cluster. Through a pair of Celestron 15x70 binoculars, it would look like the following.
A very pretty sight. Now, what would it look like through my Celestron 80mm EDF finder 'scope, with an Explore Scientific 14mm 100 degree eyepiece?
Not bad at all. But, I'd like to see more. So I move the eyepiece to my C1400 atop my CGE Pro.
Very nice indeed! So for this target, the C1400 is going to be the best bet. However, if my target was the Pleiades, the C1400 with that eyepiece would not be good; the 80EDF would do much better.
When an eyepiece is active, the popup menu again changes. With a non-binocular eyepiece selected, it looks like the following, where you also have the ability to select a particular eyepiece or telescope.
When a binocular is active, the menu changes to the following, where you can not select a telescope, as it is not relevant. Changing the eyepiece to a non-binocular will again allow the telescope to be selected. Also notice that as my mouse cursor was very near the right hand side of the screen, the popup menus sub-menus display to the left, not the right.
As-of Stellarium version 0.10.3, you no longer need to edit the ini file. All configuration is done through the user interface in the application. To open the configuration dialog hit the alt-O key, or click the configure button on the plugin setup dialog. There are four tabs in the configuration dialog; General, Eyepieces, Telescopes, and About'. The first three are the ones we are interested in here.
The first option allows you to define whether or not to scale the images based on apparent FOV. In general, I'd recommend you not select this, unless you have a need to. It can be very useful in comparing two eyepieces, but, for general use, it can really reduce the image size on the screen. If you set this option, the image on-screen will be scaled based on the eyepieces and telescopes you define. See the section below for information os what scaling means, and why you might want to use it.
The other two options allow you to define the key combinations to use to activate an eyepiece, and to activate the popup menu.
This is the tab used to enter your own eyepieces. But default, a few sample ones are added; feel free to delete it once you've entered your own.
The fields on this tab are:
- name
- A free-text description of the eye piece. You could modify this to match your personal descriptions of eyepieces.
- aFOV
- Apparent field of view in degrees in degrees
- Focal Length
- Eyepiece focal length in mm
- Field Stop
- The field stop of the eyepiece in mm. This is used to calculate the true field of view of an eyepiece. If you do not know what it is just leave it the default zero. Not all manufacturers provide this value; TeleVue is one that does.
- Binoculars
- selecting this checkbox tells the system that this eyepiece is binoculars; this means that this eyepiece can be used without defining a telescope.
CCD Sensors
This tab allows you to define sensors for any camera you may have. When defined and selected, this will draw a red bounding rectangle in the center of the eye piece view, showing what the CCD will capture. Because of the way floating point numbers are stored, sometimes you may see one of your defined values change (for example from 2.2 to 2.19999) but this should not effect what you see.
The fields on this tab are:
- Name
- A free-text description of the sensor.
- Resolution x
- the width of the censor in pixels.
- Resolution y
- the height of the censor in pixels.
- Chip width
- the width of the censor in mm.
- Chip height
- the height of the censor in mm.
- Pixel width
- the width of an individual pixel, in microns.
- Pixel height
- the height of an individual pixel, in microns.
The resolution is easy to find, even for DSLRs. The chip size and pixel size may be more difficult for a DSLR, but searching the internet should turn up these values.
This is the tab used to enter your own telescopes.
The fields on this tab are:
- name
- A free-text description of the telescope. You could modify this to match your personal description.
- Focal Length
- Telescope scope focal length in mm
- Diameter
- Telescope diameter (aperture) in mm
- Horizontal flip
- If the view through this telescope should flip horizontally.
- Vertical flip
- If the view through this telescope should flip vertically.
Scaling the eyepiece view
I'd like to thank Al Nagler over at TeleVue for helping to set me straight on the topic of eyepieces. They are a lot more complicated than you might think!
By default, the view drawn on your computer screen when the plugin is active fills the screen. That is, there is a circle drawn to represent the view through the eyepiece, and this circle will fill the screen. For general use, this is what most people would want. There will be times that it's not.
If you are going to be observing any deep space object, it can be very import to choose the best eyepiece for that object. You will typically want an eyepiece that will magnify the object as much as possible, while showing all of the object in the eyepiece view. Getting this can be tricky, especially if you do not like changing eyepieces at the telescope. Or maybe you want to understand why one type of telescope may be better for observing what you are interested in, more than another type of telescope. This is where you will want to scale the image on screen based on your eyepiece.
Different eyepieces will generally have a different apparent field of view (aFOV). An easy way to think about this is, the larger the aFOV, the bigger the picture you see in the eyepiece. Older eyepieces would generally have aFOV in the 50° range. Today, there are massive eyepieces with 82°, and recently even 100° aFOV! These eyepieces are huge, as they require a lot of very special glass to achieve their incredible field of views. An eyepiece of the same focal length with a 100° aFOV will produce an image though the eyepiece that is twice as wide as one produced by a 50° eyepiece.
Different telescope, with an eyepiece of a given aFOV, will also produce a different true field of view. The true field of view is the actual size of the piece of sky that you see through the eyepiece. Getting these two 'just right' can be very important. It's easy to assume that you want the biggest telescope you can get, with the eyepiece that gives you the highest magnification. This is never true in reality. Depending on where you live, and especially what you like to look at, a 100-120mm quality refractor with a wide aFOV eyepiece may very well be better than a large SCT with the same eyepiece. This is something I learned the hard way.
So how does scaling the eyepiece view help? The plugin will find the eyepiece you have with the largest aFOV. This aFOV becomes 100% of the computer screen. Then, any other eyepiece will have its aFOV compared, and the image on screen will be scaled down percentage wide. These 100° aFOV eyepieces make the math here easy. If you have one, then when that eyepiece is used, the circle that represents the view through the eyepiece will take up 100% of the screen. Next, if you select an eyepiece with an 82° aFOV, it's view will be scaled to 82% of the screen, and a 60° aFOV eyepiece will be scaled to 60% of the screen.
This is easier to understand in action, so lets look at an example that uses three eyepieces all with the same 17mm focal length, so they all produce the same level of magnification (well, one has an 18mm focal length, but its magnification is nearly identical) and see how the view changes.
Example in action
Let's see what all of this means in practice. These example all use a Celestron C8 8" SCT telescope, and the target is the Great Orion Nebula.
This is an image with a 17mm TeleVue Ethos eyepice, with an aFOV of 100°. Magnification is 119.5x
This is an image with a 17mm TeleVue Nagler eyepice, with an aFOV of 82°. Magnification is 119.5x
This is an image with a 18mm TeleVue Radian eyepice, with an aFOV of 60°. Magnification is 112.8x
We can see from these images that the target is all three images is the same size. The 100° image fills the screen, the 82° is smaller, and the 60° is smallest yet, filling 60% of the computer screen. Note that in each image, the field of view that you see changes. The larger the aFOV, the more you can see of the sky. So in this example, if you had an 8" telescope, you would want to use the 17mm 100° Ethos eyepiece to see as much of the nebula as possible.
How you can help
A TODO list is maintained in the README file for the plugin. If you are able to help with any item in this list, please contact the Stellarium developer team via the stellarium-pubdevel mailing list.
We also welcome bug reports, feature requests and feedback through the usual channels (trackers, forums and so on).

Strengthening security at Rio 2016 Olympic Games focus of agreement with INTERPOL
CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, Colombia – An agreement has been signed by INTERPOL and the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee for the world police body to provide additional support to the Brazilian authorities in ensuring the safety and security of the event.
As part of the agreement, an INTERPOL Major Events Support Team (IMEST) will be deployed to Brazil to provide on-site support through their connection to INTERPOL's tools, services and databases such as Stolen and Lost Travel Documents, DNA, stolen motor vehicles and internationally wanted persons.
"The support of INTERPOL is fundamental in an event of this dimension, which involves interactions between diverse nationalities. The agreement establishes the support of the intelligence service in the fight against all actions that could affect the integrity of sports and its signing three years before the Games allows it to start to be implemented for the test events," said Luiz Fernando Corrêa, Rio 2016 Security Director.
INTERPOL will also assist national authorities address other crime issues linked to major sporting events, through the provision of training and investigative support in illegal betting and match-fixing prevention, and combating counterfeiting and illicit trade.
"Securing major sporting events which attract millions of visitors is an immense challenge to any country and one which INTERPOL is ideally placed to support," said INTERPOL Secretary General Ronald K. Noble.
"INTERPOL's agreement with the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee is a key step in providing the widest possible law enforcement support to this iconic sporting event, and ensuring that the millions of fans, competitors and officials at the Games can enjoy them as safely and securely as possible," added the INTERPOL Chief.
The agreement was signed during the 82nd INTERPOL General Assembly in Colombia, where delegates also endorsed a resolution for a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the International Olympic Committee (IOC).
The MoU would provide a formal structure for enhanced cooperation between the two organizations particularly in relation to promoting integrity in sport. It would also see INTERPOL work with the IOC to identify and address issues which could affect the integrity and security of matches and competitions such as doping, match-fixing and corruption.

Simple, Effective Patch Management: From Dilemma to Done Deed
There's no argument that effective patch management is imperative for mitigating security threats. Patching helps ensure your networks are less vulnerable to attack by bringing intrusion points – from the operating system to the application layer – up to date with the latest security patches. Making sure your applications are patched in a timely way can also improve application stability and performance, providing you with the most up to date features and functionality, while helping to obtain compliance with government regulations such as HIPAA and PCI.
The reality is, however, that patch management can be complex, time consuming and costly. It can also negatively impact the experiences and productivity of end users if not done thoughtfully. But the right tools and infrastructure can greatly simplify the process, benefitting both IT administrators and end users.
Register today and join Dell experts and a Dell KACE customer to learn and experience:
• Critical tips for effective patch management
• How a customer uses the Dell KACE appliance to simplify patch management
• Hands-on demonstration that explains how to:
o Automate the validation and maintenance of correct patch and configuration levels
o Enforce different patching policies for a variety of machines, including PCs and servers
o Maintain effective patch levels, regardless of the number of managed systems
Dell™ KACE™ Management Appliances provide one of the largest patch repositories available, including patches for Windows and Mac operating systems, as well as for a wide range of applications. KACE saves organizations time and money by providing comprehensive and reliable patching, without the time, complexity and cost of traditional solutions.
All attendees will receive the new Dell white paper entitled, "Nine Simple (but Critical) Tips for Effective Patch Management." One lucky attendee will receive a Dell XPS10 tablet.

We see a lot of folks building up frames which obviously don't fit them well. I think most of these folks know that the frames in question aren't right for them. But usually they explain that it was such a great deal they couldn't turn it down, or they can't afford a new frame. Sorry, but even a cheap production frame that fits well is always better than the best hand-built masterpiece that's too small or too big.
So here are my top three clues that a frame doesn't fit:
- The vast majority of frames should have stems between 80mm and 110mm We don't even sell 130mm or 140mm stems. If you need a stem that long your top tube is too short. By using a super-long stem you are also putting too much weight forward and compromising the bikes handling. Very short stems may be useful on city bikes, but even those are a compromise.
- 15 to 30mm of seat post setback is all anyone should ever require, even with a Brooks saddle. Needing more means that either the top tube is too short or, more likely, the seat tube angle is too steep. There are those folks who convince themselves that having their seat way behind the BB allows them to apply more power. But that sort of turns your bike into a semi-recumbent. You end up loosing the ability to spin.
- An extra-long seat post on a conventional level-top-tube frame indicates a seat tube that's too short. I'm still in the "fist-full of post" school of fit.
I'll post my simplified frame fit guidelines soon. But for know I just want to emphasize that fit is more important than any other characteristic in a frame. I don't care how famous the builder is, how special the tubing, how beautiful the lugs. If it doesn't fit you well then it's not worth riding.

Maisie Fringe Trim Two Part Heels
Style Notes
When it comes to heels, go high or go home!
Send your style to the next level in a pair of skyscraper heels. Channel this season's chunky trend in platforms, block heels and cleated soles. Turn to the trend-led tread boot for your dose of directional daywear, or team with a LBD for a quirky update on the going out classic. Mega high mules are the marmite must-have as the slip-on style gets a statement sole for the new season, but if simple is more your thing, barely-there heeled sandals are just as hot.

GSM, GPRS, EGPRS & EDGE/Evo
GSM is a vast, rapidly expanding and successful technology. The initial data limitations were superseded by the release of GPRS in 2000. This packet-switched functionality allows mobile handset users to use the internet. GSM was the first digital cellular system. EGPRS,EDGE, and EDGE/Evo, collectively referred to as 2.5G wireless technologies provide upgrade paths for 2G (2nd generation) wireless technologies to achieve higher data rates. EDGE/Evo is the latest extension to the GSM mobile telephony standard. With a software upgrade and a new device for the user, data rates can be boosted to speeds approaching 1 Mbps. These technologies have been deployed around the world.
Although the technology is mature the demand for commercial products is still high. Thus developers, verification engineers and manufacturing managers for GSM, GPRS, EGPRS and EDGE cellular systems must deliver quality, cost effective products to the market quickly. As a world leader in test and measurement solutions, Keysight Technologies offers an extensive set of modeling, development and test tools that help ensure the quality of systems and components.

Crules is a dynamic programming language that takes influences from Python, Perl, and Haskell. The main motivation for this language was the concept or design of a new paradigm or feature called "rules". A rule is a potential entry point which has dependencies rather than parameters. Any rule can be overridden to have different or no dependencies. Since the language itself can decide on the best course of actions for an operation, dependencies become preconditions for execution. It also features lazy evaluation, object orientation, variadic and anonymous-parameter functions, and reflection. These features help make the language truly dynamic.
The acscripts library contains a set of helper scripts that can be used by package configure scripts. This library enables common functions to be used from one central location, rather than being duplicated across packages. This provides simplified system maintenance, because build functions are centralized, and smaller packages, because build functions are no longer in packages.

In the first day of the beginning of the new academic year,
the president Prof Dr Maged el Kemary meets with the new students in the
Faculties of Medicine and Dentistry in the presence of staff members within
many meetings between the president, vices of president and deans with students
in different faculties to introduce students about university, nature of
university life, study system, programs of students' activities and of
developing skills and services as well as correcting misconceptions among some
In the beginning, he congratulates students for the new
academic year and announces that after two revolutions, it is no longer
acceptable to gag mouths and freedom of opinion is guaranteed for everyone
under laws and university regulations so as not to lead to chaos. As well, he
mentions that he would not be allowed to organize students' families on the
basis of religion or party inside university as the students will not be busy
with partisan differences and conflicts at the expense of learning, but the
university is not a place to publicize for parties and university mission is
education and scientific research. Otherwise, university is not battlefield,
but it is orchard where mind blooms and an environment for thinking,
innovation, creativity and substantive dialogue. Finally, he announces that the
entry of politics inside Egyptian universities is one of reasons for the
decline of performance inside university and delayed its classification and
staff member should be independent until he can adjust among students and does
not affect the performance of his/her duties.
We have to differentiate between the belonging of student to
political party or intellectual party and the practice of an activity inside
university on behalf of this party.
(Do not go out on the values of the university, whether
verbally or logos or disable study or sabotage installations or writing
offensive phrases on the walls of the university).

Carving tools with small curved edges require specialized stones to sharpen. The wide variety of sizes and edges justifies the need for shaped, rather than standard flat, sharpening stones. Slip-shaped stones are great for sharpening curved blades and shaped edges. These specialized stones are able to sharpen concave and convex edges as well as straight chisels.

Allegations that Oklahoma State football players were paid for performance is part of a Sports Illustrated investigation that details numerous issues within the Cowboys' program over the past 13 years.
The magazine said it conducted a 10-month probe that included interviews with 64 Oklahoma State football players from 1999 to 2011, as well as current and former staff members.
A five-part series, starting with money, was published Tuesday on SI's website. In addition to illegal payments of players, the series consists of academic misconduct, drug use and sexual favors.
According to the story, the payments to players ranged from money for big plays during a game to cash from sham jobs performed. The money, anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 annually, came from boosters and assistant coaches. Some star players even received upwards of $25,000.
Brad Girtman, a defensive tackle from 2003-04, told SI that he was paid on the low end, receiving at most $500 from a football staff member. He also said he saw some stars get "monster payments."
Girtman said his pay rates -- $50 for a quarterback hurry and up to $250 for a sack -- were told to him by assistant Joe DeForest, who worked under head coach Les Miles from 2001-04 and current Cowboys coach Mike Gundy until 2011.
DeForest is now an assistant at West Virginia and denied the allegations.
"I have never paid a player for on-field performance," DeForest told SI in the story. "I have been coaching college football for almost 24 years, and I have built a reputation of being one of the best special teams coordinators and college recruiters in the country based on hard work and integrity."
The SI story said boosters were not permitted access to players when Bob Simmons was head coach from 1995 to 2000, but Miles loosened the reins when he took over in 2001. Miles, though, apparently told the magazine that players were not paid and boosters were not given much access.
As far as academic issues, the brief overview said teammates indicated that school work was done for them. The drug use included players smoking marijuana before games, and a small number of members in the football program's hostess group had sex with recruits.
On Monday, in anticipation of the release of the story, Oklahoma State athletic director Mike Holder apologized for what was coming and said he had already notified the NCAA.
"We're all committed to playing by the rules and doing things the right way, and for people to say that is not what's happening is very disturbing," said Holder in a statement Monday. "Our goal is to separate fact from fiction, and then we can start dealing with it. We've already notified the NCAA, and they're going to assign an investigator to this. We'll reach out and get someone to stand with that investigator and go through the facts. And at the end of the day, we'll come to some conclusions, and we'll deal with those. We'll prop ourselves back up, polish up that OSU brand and move on down the road."
This year's Oklahoma State squad is ranked 12th in the nation and off a 2-0 start.

Product Details
The 3B Series Signal Conditioning I/O Subsystem provides a low cost, versatile method of interconnecting real world analog signals to a data acquisition, monitoring or control system. It is designed to interface directly to analog signals such as thermocouple, RTD, ac and dc Strain Gage, Torque Transducer, Frequency, LVDT, AD590/AC2626 solid state temperature sensor outputs, and millivolt or process current signals, and convert the inputs to standardized analog outputs compatible with high level analog I/O subsystems.
The 3B Series Subsystem consists of a 19" relay rack, compatible universal mounting backplane and a family of plug-in input and output signal conditioning modules (up to 16 per rack). 8- and 4-channel backplanes are also available. Each backplane incorporates screw terminals for sensor inputs and current outputs and a connector for high level, single-ended outputs to the user's equipment.
Input and output modules are offered in both isolated (±1500 V peak) and nonisolated versions. The input modules feature complete signal conditioning circuitry optimized for specific sensors or analog signals, and provide high level analog outputs. Each input module provides two simultaneous outputs: 0 V to +10 V (or ±10 V) and 4–20 mA (or 0–20 mA). Output modules accept 0 V to +10 V (or ±10 V) single ended signals and provide an isolated or nonisolated 4–20 mA (or 0–20 mA) process signal. All modules feature a universal pinout and may be readily "mixed and matched" and interchanged without disrupting field wiring.
Each backplane contains the provision for a subsystem power supply. The 3B Series Subsystem can operate either from a common dc/dc or ac power supply mounted on each backplane, or from externally provided dc power. Two LEDs are used to indicate that power is being applied.

Marshall MG100HFX
A LOT OF EDITORS' FACES EXPRESSED SHOCK AND AMAZEMENT OVER THIS 100-WATT DIGITAL HEAD.(I probably should have taken photos of all the gaping mouths and posted them online, but then I would have had to sleep with one eye open for the rest of my life.) I mean, this amp offers so much for so little that dark-cloud types might consider it a cruel joke, but, trust me, it's all for real. You get four channels for $400 bucks, butt-simple programmability, three simultaneous digital effects (reverb, delay, and either chorus, phaser, or flanger), tap-tempo delay, emulated power ampdamping, an onboard tuner, and totally kick-ass, sounds-as-badass-as-tubes tone. Each channel delivers an authentic and ballsy Marshall sound: an edgy, shimmering clean tone with massive headroom; a classic-rock-voiced crunch tone; an '80s-style distortion with creamy grit and sustain (green OD); and a more black-metal-oriented distortion with super-saturation (red OD). Play with the tone controls and the damping switch (Off for midrange emphasis, or On for boosted lows and highs), and you can pretty much dial in the history of hard-rock guitar sounds.
In Preset mode, the MG100HFX lets you save your favorite sounds for each channel—including effects—and all your tweaks are remembered the next time you power up the amp. No more worrying about control knobs getting bumped around in transit and having your dream tones lost in the mists of memory. (Those lucky enough to have virile synapses can enjoy challenging their total recall by using Manual mode and defeating all programming functions.) The only minor glitch in the system is if you want to use the included two-button footswitch (Clean/Crunch and Overdrive Green/Red) to seamlessly switch between all four channels onstage. While an in genious space saver, the pedal can be a bit confusing as each switch defaults to the last channel selection, and there are no LEDs to clue you in to where you were. In other words, if you are going Clean for a verse, Crunch for a chorus, and then to Overdrive Green for a solo, you'll need to hit the Clean/Crunch switch twice to get back to a clean sound for the next verse. Not horrible, but not glorious, either. For home recording, the MG100HFX's speaker-emulated output lets your age all over your tracks while monitoring at sleeping-baby volume levels (or over headphones),and the simulation pretty much nails a mic-right-on-the-grille sound.
At just $400, the MG100HFX would be a wicked value, even if it just had four great tones. But when you add the programmability, onboard effects, and home-recording capability, the amp practically becomes a "must buy" proposition. —Michael Molenda

Should you buy UMB Financial Corporation stock? (NasdaqGS:UMBF). Let's see how it does in our automated value investing analysis system.
Based on historical returns, we believe that UMB Financial Corporation can grow its free cash at a rate of about 1%. That's positive!
|UMBF Price
(UMB Financial Corporation stock price per share)
Present Value/Intrinsic Valuation
The intrinsic value of a company is how much cash it can generate over its lifespan. If a business lasts for ten years and produces a million dollars of free cash profit every year, its intrinsic value is ten million dollars.
The present value of an investment is the price you must pay right now to earn that intrinsic value in however many years you want to wait. This of course depends on the rate of return you want for your investment.
You can't predict what a company will make in the future with perfect accuracy, but a company with a history of increasing its free cash flow every year is likely to do so over time. By projecting free cash flow into the future, you can calculate a fair price for the stock right now.
While most stocks are priced fairly, sometimes they go on sale. This calculation will help you decide that. You still have to figure out if it's a good investment, but bargains exist.
|UMBF Fair Price
(based on intrinsic value)
Safety Margin Price
The safety margin of a stock helps you avoid risk.
Why? Because the discounted free cash flow analysis relies on estimates, discounting the fair price by a further safety margin gives you some wiggle room to be wrong about those estimates. Established companies with stable free cash flow growth need a small safety margin. Smaller and newer and riskier companies need a larger safety margin. A company with a lot of debt needs a larger safety margin and a company with a lot of equity needs less.
By investing in multiple companies and keeping a sensible safety margin, you can be pleasantly surprised by great companies outperforming your expectations and minimize the possibility of stagnation (or even loss) by companies which underperform.
|UMBF Safety Price (based on a variable margin of safety)
PE Ratio Versus Sector
The PE ratio measures the reported earnings of a company to its current stock price. While earnings are easy to manipulate on the balance sheet, this ratio gives you a sense of what buyers are willing to pay for the stock—what they believe it will do in the future.
Comparing a stock's PE to the average PE of companies in its industry gives you a sense of market sentiment about the stock and how well it fares financially. It's not the only number, nor the most important, but comparing similar companies is valuable. A ratio far above or below that of its peers is significant.
Industries are more specific than sectors, so companies within most industries are more similar than are companies within an industry. Be aware that the size and customers of companies are important to their prospects.
|PE Ratio versus Sector
|16% higher than other Financial stocks
PE Ratio Versus Industry
The PE ratio measures the reported earnings of a company to its current stock price. While earnings are easy to manipulate on the balance sheet, this ratio gives you a sense of what buyers are willing to pay for the stock—what they believe it will do in the future.
Comparing a stock's PE to the average PE of companies in its sector gives you a sense of market sentiment about the stock and how well it fares financially. It's not the only number, nor the most important, but comparing similar companies is valuable. A ratio far above or below that of its peers is significant.
Be aware that sectors are very broad, with many types of companies in the same sector.
|PE Ratio versus Industry
|3% lower than other Regional - Southwest Banks stocks
Cash Yield
The cash yield of a stock is the ratio of free cash per share—real dollars available after bringing in revenue and paying bills—to the current price of the stock. It's similar to the PE ratio, but it's less prone to manipulation through accounting practices.
In general, the less you have to pay to make more money, the better.
|Cash Yield
Free Cash Flow Jitter
The free cash flow jitter of a stock measures how much the company's free cash flow varies from its historical trend, on average. While it's always nice to make more money than you expected, a company with predictable free cash flow is stable and good. A company with wild swings in its free cash flow warrants further research.
In general, the lower this number, the better.
|Free Cash Flow Jitter
Dividend Yield
The dividend yield of a stock is the amount of money paid out in dividends every year divided by the stock's current price. While not every stock pays a dividend, many solid companies pay good dividends. In general, the higher this calculation, the better—think of it like an interest rate of an investment—if the company pays dividends consistently.
A high dividend payout rate may indicate that the share price has fallen recently. Be sure that the company is worth investing in before you chase high dividend yields!
|Dividend Yield
We believe that UMB Financial Corporation may be worth examining further. It's making money, which is a very positive sign. Is it on sale?
UMB Financial Corporation looks overpriced right now. If you're looking for a bargain in the stock market, you should probably look elsewhere for a great deal. This might still be a great stock to own—but it's not on sale right now.
Does UMB Financial Corporation have a coherent story? Does it have a plan to continue to make money? Is it worth your time? Only you can decide where to go from here. Our investment guide helps you ask the right questions, including how to buy stocks. Use these research links for more information.

Help with Fortran90
This page is dedicated to conversation and mutual help on creating Neptunian satellite ephemeris using Le Guyader's and Jerome Berthier's ftp://ftp.imcce.fr/pub/ephem/satel/neptuno/
First approach: f77
In Config.mk replace FC = xlf with FC = f77 and type 'make'. You will see lots of errors like
isat_d.f: In subroutine `isatd': isat_d.f:1353: 210 format(8x,' Dernier pas:',d23.16)' ^ Invalid form for FORMAT statement at (^)
In my opinion the reason is that the code is not FORTRAN77 conform. I tried to overcome this problem by fixing the source code, there is an awful lot of wrong format statements. For finding the input files I changed in fs2fd.f:
infile = trim(dir_s)//trim(fil_s) outfile = trim(dir_d)//trim(fil_d)
infile = './data/Nsat-fs.dat' outfile = './data/Nsat-fd.dat'
Same in ins_d.f:
theofile = './data/Nsat-fd.dat'
Additionally in ins_d.f I had to move the passage
after the COMMON block:
FORTRAN77 seem not to support variable size arrays, so in isat_d.f I had to replace
dimension tp(np),up(np),cp(3,np),aia(4)
in line 183 with
dimension tp(100000),up(100000),cp(3,100000),aia(4)
The same for lines 2455 and 2456. In line 2408 I removed the definition of w(3,np,0:nd). After that the source compiled into an executable called 'ilgs_d', which is ought to be the double precision version. The quad precision version would be called 'ilgs_q'. Anyway, the executable failed with the following output:
________________________________________ Fichier ./data/Nsat-fd.dat ________________________________________ open: No such file or directory apparent state: unit 12 named /DATA/DE403/de403.unx last format: list io lately reading direct unformatted external IO Aborted
Second approach: f2c
Using f2c gives the same results as using f77. I hoped to get more insight from reading the C-code, but I did not. I had big success for the other IMCCE fortran programs with f2c, it helped me a lot in understanding and getting functional executables. But not this time.
The file ./data/Nsat-fd.dat exists, maybe the error refers to the file /DATA/DE403/de403.unx, which is indeed missing on my system. And I do not know from where to get it. At ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/planets/bsp/DE403.BSP I found the file for Sparc architecture, for i386 it seems not to be available any more, but it could be created from DE403.BSP.
But before doing further investigation I would like to ask a FORTRAN programmer about this software. My understanding is as follows, please correct me when I am wrong:
1) The software is a numerical integrator for a physical model of the Nepunian system. For as a period as long as the planet positions are provided, the Neptunian satellites position can be computed by numerical integration. Especially dates outside the interval 1800-2050 are no problem, when the DE403 planet positions are replaced by VSOP87 or similar.
2) Therefore it is possible to produce a large table of each satellites position and velocity for a long period, lets say 1500-2500. In fact this is the main goal. When I have this table, I will try frequency analysis techniques in order to create poisson series or similar, that can be included into stellarium.
My problem is that I can speak neigther french nor FORTRAN, so I really do not know what is going on in this software, and I would really appreciate your help. You can contact be by:
- email: johannes (dot) gajdosik (at) gmx (dot) at
- posting into the forum
- writing something in this wiki page
I am sorry for having written: "If you do not mind I would prefer to be contacted by email, please write the words "stellarium" and "fortran" into the subject line." This was really a bad idea, because it caused multiple work on the same subject for the community. So lets stay with this wiki.
Johannes 14:38, 1 May 2007 (PDT)
Hi! I'm a french programmer, but unfortunately not a fortran programmer, and I'd like to help if I can . I've started to read fortran tutorial and I plan to test lf95 trial as fortran compiler since it's the one used in the linux Config.mk provided in neptuno package but I don't have much free time these days. I'll let know if I succeed in any way, let me know if you have questions. Blakbear.
Hello Blackbear, thank you very much for offering help! I first did not see your writing into the wiki, because the "watch" function seems not to work for me. If you get any insight into the code, or if you can give any answers to 1) or 2) please send me an email, this will be the easiest way of communication. Johannes
Hi, Johannes. I could build "ilgs3_d" by g77 and execute without error. But I could not investigate that result is correct or is not correct. Shall I report my procedure?(in this page? or e-mail?) I write a part of output(little formatted), instead answer your questions.

By the way, when create de403.unx, why did not you convert from unxpXXXX.403 or ascpXXXX.403?--Sigma 06:10, 9 May 2007 (PDT)
Same here, I've succeeded in compiling ilgs3_d with lf95 but I can't get a result yet, so Sigma seems more advanced. So far I can't validate my email so I can't use it for the time being, but feel free to ask if you need french to english translation. Blakbear.
- I uploaded diff files: for ins3_d.f,for ins8_d.f,for isat8_d.f. Sorry, I could not upload de403.unx, because it was big size for my space(about 9MB gziped). And ilgs8_d did not execute. Probably, there may be a hint for 8 satellites code in LISETMOI and README. Please check them. I'm weak in English, additionaly can not read French. orz--Sigma 20:41, 10 May 2007 (PDT)
Hi! I've succeeded in compiling and running both ilgs3_d and ilgs8_d, getting some results and some problems when testing with later dates but at least it works for initial date it seems.
All the modifications I've done for ilgs8_d to work have already been pointed out by Johannes : bad formatting with ' where there shouldn't be and bad location, missing the . to access current dir. I've used unxp1950.403 found on jpl ftp ftp://ssd.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/eph/export/unix/ renamed in de403.unx.
I'm going to make an archive with all the files I've used and make it available tonight, so anyone will be able to test it.
--Blakbear 13:56, 11 May 2007 (PDT)
Thank you all so much for your help! In addition to the information in the wiki I got also emails describing how to create de403.unx. Indeed you had more success then I running the program. Now remains only the problem of creating ephemeris data over a reasonably long timespan, lets say 1500-2500. The file Nsat-fd.dat provides initial values not for this whole period, but I doubt that this is needed. Instead isat_d and ilgs_d should contain a numerical model and an integrator suitable for creating data for an arbitrary period, provided there are the planet positions. This leads to the question:
Can anybody of you understand the contents of isat_d.f and ilgs_d.f? where is the integrator, where is the numerical model, and from where are the planet positions needed for planetary perturbation? This is the part, where French language skills might be helpful. For I cannot understand the comments, function and variable names, for me these are just meaningless accumulations of letters.
Thanks again, --Johannes 09:44, 14 May 2007 (PDT)

INTERPOL European conference builds on regional strength to combat global crimes
TEL AVIV, Israel – Developing innovative solutions through building on past experience is key in identifying and addressing future crime threats, chiefs of police and ministers from throughout Europe heard on the opening day of INTERPOL's 41st European Regional Conference in Tel Aviv.
With transnational issues including cybercrime, terrorism, organized crime, human trafficking, illegal immigration and trafficking in illicit goods high on the agenda of the three-day meeting (8 – 10 May), some 110 senior law enforcement officials from 49 countries and eight international organizations will discuss how to build on regional cooperation and expertise to boost global security.
The Commissioner of the Israeli Police, Inspector General Yohanan Danino, said INTERPOL provided a network of cooperation between the police forces of the world.
"Our language, our uniform and our badges may differ, but the message is the same, we are all committed to the same cause which is the essence of our work, which is to serve.
"This INTERPOL meeting which brings together senior European law enforcement officials will provide us with a stronger platform for our joint efforts in tackling crime and terrorism," concluded Commissioner Danino.
Addressing the delegates, INTERPOL President Khoo Boon Hui said that learning from European expertise and experiences helps ensure that all INTERPOL member countries keep abreast of the latest trends and developments, particularly in combating cybercrime.
"Criminal gangs now find that transnational and cybercrime are far more rewarding and profitable than other riskier forms of making money," said INTERPOL President Khoo Boon Hui.
"Globalization and the development of the virtual world offer new and fertile grounds for criminals to ply their illegal trade and commit crimes.
"Our ability to address both known and unknown threats effectively and efficiently serves to further cement our Organization's position as the leader in securing global safety, and in shaping the security landscape," concluded President Khoo.
With the INTERPOL Global Complex for Innovation due to open its doors in Singapore in 2014, delegates will be updated on the close cooperation with Europol which will soon launch the European Cybercrime Centre, and how the two organizations are liaising to ensure the widest possible support to law enforcement regionally and globally.

While there were no local winners this year, there are still some stunning images chosen in the 2011 National Historic Landmark photo contest.
This year's winning image is of Pecos Pueblo, located south of Pecos, N.M. The photo was taken by Eric Vondy of Phoenix.
The site's real history is legendary. Led by an Indian guide called "The Turk," famous Spanish explorer Coronado and his men set out from this pueblo to search for Quivira, one of the legendary "Seven Cities of Gold." Abandoned in 1838, today the site, east of Santa Fe, is managed by Pecos National Historical Park.
National historic landmarks are nationally significant historic places designated by the Secretary of the Interior because they possess exceptional value or quality in illustrating or interpreting the heritage of the United States, said a National Park Service news release. A national historic landmark may be a historic building, site, structure, object, or district.
Last year's contest was won by Matt Bell of Lacey with a photo of Myrtle Falls at Mount Rainier National Park.

Other Proposed Treatments
There are three major types of eating disorders: anorexia nervosa, bulimia nervosa, and binge eating disorder. Anorexia nervosa involves compulsive dieting and exercise to reduce weight, leading to dangerous weight loss and, in women, the absence of menstrual periods. Bulimia nervosa is characterized by binge eating followed by purging. The recently-identified binge eating disorder is marked by binge eating that isn't followed by purging.
Nearly all the people affected by eating disorders are teenage girls and young adult women from the middle and upper socioeconomic classes. The causes of the various disorders aren't known, but it seems indisputable that the current Western emphasis on slimness as a mark of feminine attractiveness contributes greatly.
Because severe anorexia can be life threatening, treatment generally combines a weight-gain program with psychotherapy and, sometimes, antidepressant drugs. Bulimia nervosa and binge eating disorder are both treated with psychotherapy, antidepressants, or appetite suppressants to help control binge eating.
Proposed Treatments for Eating Disorders
While there are no well-established natural treatments for eating disorders, there is some evidence that zinc supplements, when used in conjunction with conventional medical treatments, may help people with anorexia to gain weight. Preliminary attempts to treat bulimia by altering serotonin levels are also promising. In addition, the supplement DHEA might be helpful for protecting bone mass.
The relationship between anorexia nervosa and zinc deficiency is controversial and the subject of many studies.
Symptoms of zinc deficiency (weight loss, appetite loss, and behavior changes) resemble those of anorexia nervosa to some extent. This has led some researchers to theorize that low zinc levels may be related to the onset of the eating disorder. 1,2
Preliminary evidence including one small, double-blind trial suggests that zinc supplements might indeed be helpful in treating anorexia nervosa, possibly enhancing weight gain and helping to stabilize mood. 5,20,21 One frequently quoted study often used to discredit the use of zinc in anorexia appears to be relatively meaningless when inspected closely. 4,20,21
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full zinc article.
Animal and human studies suggest that when levels of the brain chemical serotonin rise, hunger decreases. People who engage in binge eating may have a different response to changes in serotonin levels. 17 In an attempt to change binge eating behavior, some researchers have tried to alter serotonin levels.
Standard antidepressant drugs are most often used for this purpose. However, it might be possible to achieve similar results with tryptophan and related supplements.
The body uses the amino acid L-tryptophan to make serotonin. Preliminary evidence from a small double-blind placebo-controlled study suggests that a combination of L-tryptophan and vitamin B 6 significantly reduced binge eating among people with bulimia. 18 This evidence, however, is contradicted by results of another small study that found no significant difference between the effects of L-tryptophan and placebo on binge eating. 19
Note : L-tryptophan is no longer sold as a supplement due to safety concerns. 5-Hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) might be a safer option; however, it has not been studied in eating disorders.
The antidepressant herb St. John's wort might also raise serotonin levels.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full 5-HTP and St. John's wort articles.
Dehidroepiandrosterone (DHEA)
Women with anorexia often experience bone loss, at least in part due to decreases in estrogen levels. In a one-year long, double-blind study, women with anorexia received either DHEA at a dose of 50 mg per day, or standard hormone replacement therapy. 22 The results showed equivalent bone preservation in both groups. However, because there is considerable doubt that hormone replacement therapy is truly helpful for preventing bone loss caused by anorexia, 23 these results mean little.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full DHEA article.
