As founder and director of The Actors Center in New York City, J. Michael Miller has dedicated his life to the development and training of the professional actor. He'll bring his passion to Flagler College on Jan. 29 as part of the college's "Ideas and Images" series.
Miller's presentation will take place at 7 p.m. in the Flagler Room at Flagler College, 74 King St.
Miller says the theme of the evening will be the actor as artist as opposed to entertainer.
"The overarching question is the role of art in this society, and the responsibility of the artist to it," said Miller, who is also the co-founder of Tisch School of the Arts and the New York University Graduate Acting Master of Fine Arts program. "The central concern is the human need for celebrity worship larger than the need for each of us to continue to seek to understand our own human frailties, needs and possibilities?"
Miller founded The Actors Center in 1996 on the concept that established actors need to continue to develop their craft in relation to their growth as human beings.
At the center, established actors work with each other, challenging themselves to achieve a higher level of artistry under the guidance of teachers from around the world.
But Miller promises there will be no lecturing when he speaks at the school on Jan. 29.
"I am not there to lecture anyone, but hopefully to raise issues that register in their own minds," said Miller.
"Ideas and Images: Visiting Scholars and Artists Program" features an international composition of artists and authors, introducing a fresh and creative component to the greater St. Augustine community.
Each event is free and open to the public. Call 819-6282 or go to www.flagler.edu/our-community for information.

Happy Reading!
Author Alain de Botton has announced plans to build an Atheist temple in the United Kingdom, presumably so nonbelievers have a place to gather and share their philosophies.
Um… isn't that what Starbucks is for?
Also, I can't wait to see how the architect will handle this kind of project. Maybe the building can feature a giant X instead of a cross?

Alaska Airlines, now the country's seventh-largest airline, has announced it will stop offering prayer cards with its in-flight meals. (It's just raining religion news in the great unchurched Pacific Northwest lately.)
I've flown Alaska several times since moving to Seattle, but I confess that I've never noticed these Psalm quotations. They were only offered on flights longer than four hours, only to first class passengers (because like other airlines, Alaska stopped serving in-flight meals to coach years ago). So, just a fraction of flyers have seen them since 2006. Looks to me like the Judeo-Christian outcry on Facebook and media blogs includes many people who didn't even know about this tradition (which apparently originated as a marketing ploy, rather than an evangelical mission). Airline spokeswoman Bobbie Egan said the airline has received more complaints than kudos about the cards for years.
Perhaps the decrease in appreciation for the cards is related to having limited them to the first-class cabin? Could it be that high-paying travelers are less likely to be charmed by high praying? Hmmm. There's no way to prove it — I tried asking Egan, but she said they weren't releasing specifics on the numbers and nature of the complaints. So, just a hunch. It could also be that Alaska Airlines has grown a lot in the past generation, and this kind of thing isn't going to fly with a more diverse base of passengers. Meanwhile, the growing airline has been making efforts to be more sensitive to religious minorities, such as Orthodox Jews.
I reported for Reuters at the Washington state Capitol yesterday, covering the public hearings on a gay marriage bill — and in between, the breaking news that the state Senate now has enough votes to pass the bill. (The House already had enough votes.) It now appears that Washington's lawmakers will legalize gay marriage next month, while opponents work on gathering the 260,000-plus signatures they need between now and July 6 to put the issue on the November ballot, confident that voters will overturn the law, Prop. 8-style.
From a religion reporting perspective, the interesting angle was seeing clergy take different sides in their testimony. On the pro-gay marriage side, the speakers included Rabbi Jonathan Singer (of Seattle's Temple Beth Ami, a Reform Jewish congregation), an Evangelical Lutheran Church in America bishop, and a United Church of Christ pastor. On the opposing side, the speakers included the Catholic Archbishop J. Peter Sartain of Seattle, an African-American church pastor, a Seventh-day Adventist pastor and a range of white evangelical voices.
Conservative families rallied against a gay marriage bill at the Washington State Capitol on Monday.
Christian groups also helped rally several hundred people, including (homeschooled?) children, outside the Capitol in favor of traditional marriage.
Most Washingtonians do not belong to any congregation. Catholics, about one-sixth of the state's population, make up the majority of religiously affiliated Washington state residents, followed by evangelical Christians, according to data distributed by the Association of Religion Data Archives. Gov. Chris Gregoire, herself a practicing Roman Catholic, does not believe this issue poses conflict for religious groups, given that clergy would remain free not to perform or recognize same-sex unions, said Karina Shagren, Gregoire's spokeswoman. But the language leaves too much room for doubt, said Pastor Joe Fuiten, of Cedar Park Assembly of God in Bothell, who has been rallying evangelical Christians against the legislation.

They shouldn't mix with regular vehicles on public roads.
April 2019
In 2008 the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) denied several petitions to create a new class of vehicles known as medium-speed vehicles (MSVs), which would have a top speed of 35 mph. The petitioners asked that MSVs be subject to a set of safety standards greater than those applied to low-speed vehicles (LSVs) but substantially less than those applied to conventional passenger cars. NHTSA denied the petition because, unlike LSVs, which are permitted to have a top speed of 25 mph and are intended for use in controlled, low-speed communities, MSVs travel in higher-risk traffic situations and should comply with all of the safety standards set for passenger cars. "While we appreciate the importance of environmental issues," the agency wrote in its denial, "NHTSA does not believe that it is necessary or appropriate to significantly increase the risk of deaths and serious injuries to save fuel by introducing a new class of motor vehicles that does not provide adequate safety protection."
However, just because NHTSA doesn't recognize MSVs doesn't mean they aren't allowed on public roads. States, not NHTSA, are responsible for regulating the operation of motor vehicles on the public roads and for handling titling and registration. There are nine states (Kentucky, Maryland, Minnesota, Montana, Oklahoma, Oregon, Tennessee, Texas and Washington) that specifically allow MSV use on specified portions of their public roads. Colorado enacted a law permitting the use of MSVs on the road once the U.S. Department of Transportation sets safety standards for them.
The table and map below show which roads MSVs are permitted on and their legally attainable speeds.

HARTSVILLE, SC – Coker had a shot to tie or win on their final possession against St. Andrews Presbyterian College but couldn't get a shot off, falling 76-74 in men's collegiate basketball. The Cobras drop to 5-8, 3-3 in the CVAC, while the Knights improve to 8-5 and 2-4 in the conference.
After a slow start by both teams things began to pick up in the later stages of the opening period. Coker showed its grit by battling back from a 29-20 deficit with 6:00 minutes to play to grab a 37-35 lead with 1:17 left. St. Andrews tied the game on a pair of David Truesdale free throws and the teams went into the locker rooms tied at 37-37.
It was nip-tuck in the second half with the largest lead of the period belonging to Coker at 52-45 with 13:41 showing. The Knights regained a 61-60 lead five minutes later but CC came back again for a 69-68 lead with 4:24 to play.
The turning point came on the next three possessions when SAPC sandwiched a defensive stop between a pair of Bobby Short three-pointers. The outburst led to a 74-69 advantage for the visitors and a timeout called by Coker.
A free throw from Abram Ludd/Sumter, SC and buckets from seniors Jamie Jenkins/Columbia, SC and Jay Farrow/Sanford, NC tied the game again at 74-74 with 24 seconds left. St. Andrews called a timeout and then went to their big man, Chad Eichelberger.
Eichelberger received the ball in the post and when he couldn't advance towards the basket, spun towards the baseline and hit a fade-away jumper for a 76-74 advantage. The possession didn't take up much of the clock, however, and CC had one final chance with seven seconds left.
Coker's designed play was thwarted by good defense by the Knights and when the ball reached point guard Ryan Queen's/Philadelphia, PA hands there was little he could do. Queen's errant pass rolled out of bounds as the clock expired and CC was unable to get a shot off.
Queen led the way with 14 points and junior Johnny Jackson/Hartsville, SC added 13 points, two rebounds and two assists. Jenkins finished with 12 points, seven rebounds and four assists and junior Jason Fulwood/Cumming, GA had 12 points on four three pointers.
Eichelberger and Truesdale both tallied 14 points for the Knights and Short added 13 points. Truesdale also had eight rebounds and Eichelberger blocked two shots.
The Cobras travel to Barton College on Tuesday, January 18, for a 7:30 tip-off.

West Road, Cambridge
I'm from this really small place near Manchester, so the first time I went to London I was amazed how wacky yet original people looked there. I'm really loving the environment and style in Cambridge as well. I would describe my style as being bit messy and grunge, so place like Cambridge is perfect both in terms of inspiration and fitting in. I think students here look really amazing. This fall I'm really loving all kinds of knitwear and chunky boots. I get my clothes from very random places, for example, I got these boots from this girl at some festival, who swapped them for food, because they didn't fit or something like that. But I also wear a lot of stuff from vintage stores. However, I also like designer fashions as well and I got this Vivienne Westwood bag for my eighteenth birthday and it is still my most priced possession. I really love Vivienne Westwood and I think she embodies British fashion.

We've shown our main man Penguin Prison no shortage of love in these pages over the past few months, and now it's time to bring his masterful debut single into the world on Neon Gold. Another stellar double A-side release, we already unveiled the sterling lead track "Animal Animal" in September, and now we've got the equally brilliant AA-side "A Funny Thing" for your downloading pleasure. "Animal Animal" shined in the late summer sun as a bubbly cut of carefree pop effervescence, but "Funny Thing" doesn't waste any time giving you the business, all driving, churning synths and a huge chorus that stands out as his finest pop moment yet. Big stuff, people.
MP3: "A Funny Thing" - Penguin Prison [expired]
It's been amazing to see the reception Penguin's already gotten on UK radio, with fervent support coming from Radio 1, XFM and NME Radio for both tracks. The single's out November 23rd and comes sporting another beautiful round of cover artwork from the lovely and amazing FRAU GRAU, and will be available as usual from the Neon Gold Shop in the US and at Puregroove for our international customers. With remixes for both tracks coming in from The Sound of Arrows, Monarchy, Jakwob and more, this is sure to be an immensely popular release, so drop down and get your order on before it's too late.

Visit a senior center or nursing home, and you'll quickly notice that women vastly outnumber men.
Visit a senior center or nursing home, and you'll quickly notice that women vastly outnumber men.
The reason is simple. Women live longer.
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the average life expectancy of American women is 80.9 years. It's 75.9 years for men.
Those who gather daily at the Gillie Senior Center on the city's North Side have strong opinions about that.
"Because we're active and get going," said Gladys Diamond, 70, a North Side resident whose husband died about 15 years ago. "Men like to sit on the couch and watch that television and computer. I've had five different types of cancers in 15 years; I never want to slow down."
Some women say they take better care of themselves and see a doctor regularly. And others say they handle stress better than men do.
"I think we take the bad with the good, and we know how to handle it," said Philomena Shaw, 89, of Clintonville, whose husband died 23 years ago. "We all have hard times ... but we all need to be kind to one another, that's all."
Speaking for men, 81-year-old William Sullivan Sr. said they feel responsible for providing for their families and don't handle stress as well as women.
"Men burn the candle at both ends," said Sullivan, of the North Side.
Monique Mapp, director of the Gillie center, said the ratio of women to men there is 3 to 1. From her experience, she has found that women like to keep busy longer into their lives than men do.
"Most men, when they retire, they retire, and they stop doing a lot of the things they used to do," she said. "Women continue to stay active and continue to do things."
Of people who live to be 100 years old, 85 percent are women, said Dr. Thomas T. Perls, director of the New England Centenarian Study at Boston University. And of those who reach 110, 1 in 10 is male.
"We don't know the reasons clearly," Perls said.
Medical experts have theories about why women live longer than men, but there's no hard-and-fast data to support them.
Daniel J. Kruger, a public-health researcher at the University of Michigan, said testosterone causes men to take risks earlier in life in an effort to impress potential mates. That can lead to risky behavior.
He said men are more likely than women to be involved in auto accidents, to commit suicide and to smoke and drink more.
"Men are built for speed rather than longevity compared to women because they need to compete to attract and retain partners," Kruger said. "Men are devoting more resources to this reproductive effort than building and maintaining their bodies."
Researchers have found that the high level of testosterone in most men can lead to higher cholesterol levels and increased incidence of heart disease. They theorize that estrogen does the opposite in women and actually protects them.
Dr. Jeff Schlaudecker, assistant professor of geriatrics at the University of Cincinnati, said some experts believe that the lower level of iron found in women because of menstruation helps their bodies fend off the aging process.
Or it could be genetic: Women have two X chromosomes, and men have an X and a Y.
"When cells go through aging and damage, they have a choice of (repair) genes they can pick from ... (in the) two X chromosomes," Schlaudecker said. "In men, they have the choice of only one X, and if the X is damaged, you're in trouble because you only have one copy."
Perls said women also are better at handling chronic disease than men are. That ability, he said, might come back to personality and behavior.
"Women handle stress better than men," Perls said. "They also seek out opportunities for social networks as they get older, which may help."

With a routing latency of the order of 1 us for current GigE hardware, it's already negligible in regards of relativistic latency on WAN or MAN (> 300 m). On LAN, this is another story. > This clearly can't compete with dedicated ultralocal interconnects like > Myrinet & Co, but it indicates GBit based clusters need not to be located > physically close. With clusters becoming larger and larger, the local components may not already be physically close. For example, you may need 2 or more floors, or several machine rooms in different building on the same site (University). There is a real need for that, and that's why the next Myrinet switching blade proposes Long-Haul (100 Km and more) fiber ports. Now, even for GigE, the difference between the routing latency and the relativistic latency starts to be too important for distance greater than 100 Km. So you can aggregate several clusters in a Grid way, but it would only be interesting for embarrassingly // code if the clusters are scattered across the US of Europe for example. My 2 coins.

Some time ago I had a post on the death of Emma Carpenter Walsh, my grandmother's aunt who lived a few doors down from her in a big old Victorian house in the Soo. I was rather perturbed at the fact that I didn't receive a date with the obituary:
Emma Walsh post
I was determined to find out what the death date was. Last summer I went to my local FHL in Grand Rapids and looked at microfilm of death records of Sault Saint Marie, Mi and just couldn't find her. I apparently overlooked her.
Recently I was on the site: Seeking Michigan and was actually looking for Emma's evasive sisters, trying all sorts of variations of searches as I didn't know where the sisters were. Then I finally entered "Chippewa" for county and "Carpenter" for fathers last name....how easy was that?
Amma Walsh died January 4, 1918. There you have it....Amma, not Emma.
Don't give up!! It can be something oh so simple. (I am still looking for her sisters!)

A few of my hybrid favorites. Share your favorites...
1. Luxilon Alu Power (mains) / Becker Bomber (cross)
2. Solinco Tour Bite (mains) / Tecnifibre X-One Biphase (cross)
3. Dunlop Synthetic Gut gold (mains) / Luxilon Alu Rough (cross)

Replies to This Discussion
1. Gamma Live Wire (16G) - great pocketing and bite on the ball. However, as my stroke develops, I'm finding the string
too fragile, lasting 20 hours or less (Prince Rebel @59 lbs.).
2. Tecnifibre X-One Biphase - same as above, with a bit less feel, but lasting almost twice as long.
Tried Luxilon Big Banger (Prince EXO3 Graphite MP @ 56 lbs.), and it felt good for about two weeks, then strings felt dead.
For syn guts, I like Prince Syn Gut with Duraflex.
Live Wire has great bite on the ball. It's too bad it doesn't last longer. If the price went down to $8 a set, I would use it. Gamma makes some great stuff, including racquets.
X-One Biphase, Djoko's previous string choice, has that super smooth feel. Plays alot like gut, but I could not play it without a poly cross. Too much power for me.
Hmm, it's too bad you don't live next door to me. I would get some. I tried M2 in a hybrid with Fischer M Pro string which felt nice. But M2 in full felt like a more refined Lux Original to me.
Try Lux Ace with syn gut at 49 lbs. Awesome hybrid for slice and dice too.
Ugh, hate to say it, but I hate Gosen Polylon Ice. Feels like clear plastic. lol But I can't argue with the price of either Polylon or Sheep Micro. :)
Does it really last that long at 48 lbs? Incredible!
Yes. Gosen polyon ice is a pure polyester string. & many players dont like the stiffness.( you got to wear it down to feel better, it plays great when its about to break. )
the trick to the string is its the hybrid half. a Good synthetic gut supporting the polyon ice makes the price, playability, & endurance of the string worth while for frequent string breakers.
I will break luxilon string in a week or 2 weeks consistently that's about $60 a month if you buy in a store. I will break synthetic gut 17g 1 day on any surface if I'm playing & training for tournaments.
sometimes the ICE is very annoying when i have a tournament...
I don't know when the string will break. the synthetic gut Crosses break more often than the mains and I only string my racquets when they break.
example: My last tournament I was playing with my racquet for over six months. it finally broke in the second set of the semi-finals and it was the Ice in the mains. the Crosses synth-gut was so flatten out it might as well be hair. Then I have to switch racquets to a fresh racquet.
the fresh racquet the balance & weight is off like a gram here or there so switching is annoying. I have to strip down both racquets & balance them. that would require breaking the strings at the same time. which almost never happens. :'(
BUt I have a new Contract with Wilson ( yaa ) & will be getting the 2012 line up of new racquets. so the entire customizing of my racquets will have to wait until I receive my new ones to fix all the balances of all the racquets, so five racquets I have to customize...that suxs, the time I mean.
I will try out Ice with Dunlop syn gut then. I can get Ice for 3.99 at the local shop in L.A.. I have one racquet out of my 5 Prestige Mids where I just use full Dunlop synthetic gut at 65. I get it for 1.99. But I need just a touch of cut and I'm tired of paying $15 for Luxilon on every one of my racquets.
I like to keep a couple racquets with budget stringing, when I hit public park night doubles. There's so much dirt and leaves on the courts, doesn't make sense to waste good string on that.
I don't know about Head quality control on my Prestige Mids, but the five I have feel almost the same in balance. I've had to lead the head a bit though recently.
Hey, let me know what that new Fed racquet feels like. I heard they are ramping up the stiffness to RA 70 and putting that Amplifeel in the handles, whatever that is.

Today is the anniversary of the birth of Billy Strayhorn, the compositional and arranging genius behind many of Duke Ellington's best-known songs such as "Take the A Train," "C-Jam Blues," and "Satin Doll." Strayhorn is said to have written both the music and lyrics to "Lush Life" as a teenager. It is a remarkable song whose sadness, glamor, excess and dissipation he seems to have lived out:
I used to visit all the very gay places
Those come what may places
Where one relaxes on the axis
Of the wheel of life
To get the feel of life
From jazz and cocktails.
The girls I knew had sad and sullen gray faces
With distingué traces
That used to be there, you could see where
They'd been washed away
By too many through the day
Twelve o'clock tales.
Then you came along with your siren song
To tempt me to madness.
I thought for a while that your poignant smile
Was tinged with the sadness of a great love for me.
Ah, yes, I was wrong,
Again I was wrong
Life is lonely again
And only last year
Everything seemed so sure.
Now life is awful again
A trough full of heart
Could only be a bore.
A week in Paris could ease the bite of it.
All I care is to smile in spite of it.
I'll forget you, I will
While yet you are still burning inside my brain.
Romance is mush,
Stifling those who strive.
So I'll live a lush life in some small dive
And there I'll be
While I rot
With the rest of those whose lives are lonely, too.
Strayhorn performed the song for Ellington when he tried out for him in Pittsburgh in 1938. Ellington hired him on the spot.
It's a difficult song to sing. Frank Sinatra took a shot at it in 1958 and gave up. Ella Fitzgerald owned it, at least to my taste. She returned to it many times. In the beautiful video excerpt below, she sings to Ellington's piano accompaniment. (Where is the first half of that performance?)
The lyrics employ devices including assonance, alliteration, and internal rhyme to say something old in a new way. The music is something else. The highly unusual song structure divides the song in two. In Stardust Melodies Will Friedwald describes the song as a study in chromaticism. "It's hard to think of another piece of music that has anything in common with 'Lush Life,'" Friedwald writes.
My posts on Strayhorn and "Lush Life" in years past have prompted a torrent of email messages from readers nominating their own favorite versions of the song. Johnny Hartman's memorable version with John Coltrane was probably mentioned by a plurality of those who wrote (see Hartman perform it live in a 1983 television appearance here).
Friedwald provides a compelling history of the recorded versions of "Lush Life." He notes that Nat "King" Cole was the first to record the song (orchestrated by Pete Rugolo), years after it was written, in 1949. Cole's version made a big impact, though it should be noted that, according to biographer David Hajdu, Strayhorn (understandably) hated it. Other performers including Strayhorn himself, Sarah Vaughan (twice), Carmen McRae, Billy Eckstine, Nancy Wilson, Ella Fitzgerald (once with Oscar Peterson, once with Joe Pass), Dianne Reeves, Ann Hampton Callaway, Kevin Mahogany, Andy Bey, and Diane Schuur (with Maynard Ferguson) have also recorded versions of the song.
Listening to all these versions (and a few others) of the song over the years has impressed me in several respects. With solo piano or guitar accompaniment, the one-sided conversational nature of the song becomes apparent. "I was wrong," the singer seems to be saying to his former partner. A derisive response may account for the singer's repetition: "Again, I was wrong." The versions of the song with piano or guitar accompaniment fill in the presence of the conversational partner. Cole's orchestrated version nevertheless has worthy followers in Vaughan, Wilson, Schuur, and Callaway, among others.
I have been most struck by the ladies' performances among those who have recorded outstanding vocal versions of the song, but I have also been struck by the excellence of all these versions. From those who are capable of meeting its technical demands, "Lush Life" is a song that has elicited performances that are both respectful and moving.
Friedwald concludes his discussion of "Lush Life" with a perfect tribute to Callaway's version: "She just moves right into the world of the song and proceeds to inhabit it, making it seem vividly alive in a way that few singers of any generation have done." While this is a completely deserved accolade — Callaway's version, on her first album, no less, is very fine — it seems to me to capture the nature of the startling performances the song has inspired in a remarkable variety of artists. (First posted in 2007.)
UPDATE 2013: Terry Teachout's new biography of Ellington provides the latest take on the Strayhorn-Ellington working relationship. Teachout discusses their relationship in his characteristically compelling style on the Bat Segundo Show here.

Jeane (No More Heroes) – Cosplay of the Day
Today's featured character is the antagonist of No More Heroes who also happens to have some close ties to the game's main character, Travis Touchdown. Let's take a look at Jeane, our Cosplay of the Day!
Jeane is a mid-20s gal who's got a pretty healthy amount of hatred for the protagonist of No More Heroes. She manages to kill the United Assassins Association's highest-ranked assassin during a competition and earns her tsatus as a cold-blooded killer. Her face-off with Travis is one that must be analyzed more closely, given the revelation of their close ties.
Here with her take on Jeane's unconventional outfit is Jenna, otherwise known as The Crimson Door. Jeane's custom duds look like they take an incredible amount of bravery to wear, so Jenna gets bonus points for even attempting the outfit. But she wears the costume well and even has the matching tattoos lining her back and arms. She may not be an actual assassin, but this cosplayer kills us with her great looks.
Come check out more of her work on deviantART, which includes a whole lot more than cosplay. She's got portraits galore and even a suit that channels Silent Hill 2's Maria.

The U.S. Global Change Research Program (USGCRP) is a Federal program mandated by Congress to coordinate Federal research and investments in understanding the forces shaping the global environment, both human and natural, and their impacts on society.
USGCRP was established by Presidential Initiative in 1989 and mandated by Congress in the Global Change Research Act (GCRA) of 1990 to "assist the Nation and the world to understand, assess, predict, and respond to human-induced and natural processes of global change."
USGCRP comprises 13 Federal agencies that conduct or use research on global change and its impacts on society, in support of the Nation's response to global change.
Interagency Working Groups (IWGs) are the primary USGCRP vehicles for implementing and coordinating global change research activities within and across agencies.
The USGCRP budget crosscut represents funds self-identified by agencies as their contributions to USGCRP research.
Since 1989, USGCRP has submitted annual reports to Congress called Our Changing Planet. The reports describe the status of USGCRP research activities, provide progress updates, and document recent accomplishments.In particular, Our Changing Planet highlights progress and accomplishments in interagency activities. These highlights represent the broad spectrum of USGCRP activities that extend from Earth system observations, modeling, and fundamental research through synthesis and assessment, decision support, education, and public engagement.

When the multiplayer code for Age of Empires was started in early 1996 there were some very specific goals that had to be met to deliver the kind of game experience we had in mind.
Sweeping epic historical battles with a great variety of units
Support for 8 players in multiplayer
Insure a smooth simulation over LAN, modem-to-modem, and the Internet
Support a target platform of: 16MB Pentium 90 with a 28.8 modem
The communications system had to work with existing (Genie) engine
Target consistent frame rate of 15fps on the minimum machine config
The Genie Engine was already running and the game simulation was shaping up into a compelling experience in single player. The Genie Engine is a 2D single-threaded (game loop) engine. Sprites are rendered in 256 colors in a tile-based world. Randomly-generated maps were filled with thousands of objects, from trees that could be chopped down to leaping gazelles. The rough breakdown (post optimization) of processing tasks for the engine was: 30% graphic rendering, 30% AI and Pathing, and 30% running the simulation & maintenance.
At a fairly early stage, the engine was reasonably stable -- and multiplayer communications needed to work with the existing code without substantial recoding of the existing (working) architecture.
To complicate matters further, the time to complete each simulation step varied greatly: the rendering time changed if the user was watching units, scrolling, or sitting over unexplored terrain, and large paths or strategic planning by the AI made the game turn fluctuate fairly wildly by as much as 200 msec.
A few quick calculations would show that passing even a small set of data about the units, and attempting to update it in real time would severely limit the number of units and objects we could have interacting with the player. Just passing X and Y coordinates, status, action, facing and damage would have limited us to 250 moving units in the game at the most.
We wanted to devastate a Greek city with catapults, archers, and warriors on one side while it was being besieged from the sea with triremes. Clearly, another approach was needed.
Simultaneous Simulations
Rather than passing the status of each unit in the game, the expectation was to run the exact same simulation on each machine, passing each an identical set of commands that were issued by the users at the same time. The PCs would basically synchronize their game watches in best war-movie tradition, allow players to issue commands, and then execute in exactly the same way at the same time and have identical games.
This tricky synchronization was difficult to get running initially, but did yield some surprising benefits in other areas.
Improving on the Basic Model
At the easiest conceptual level, achieving a simultaneous simulation seems fairly straightforward. For some games, using lock-step simulations and fixed game timings might even be feasible.
Since the problem of moving hundreds or thousands of objects simultaneously was taken care of by this approach -- the solution still had to be viable on the Internet with latency swings of 20 to 1,000 milliseconds, and handle changes in frame processing time.
Sending out the player commands, acknowledging all messages, and then processing them before going on to the next turn was going to be a gameplay nightmare of stop-start or slow command turnover. A scheme to continue processing the game while waiting for communications to happen in the background was needed.
Mark used a system of tagging commands to be executed two "communications turns" in the future (Comm. turns were separated in AoE from actual rendering frames).
So commands issued during turn 1000 would be scheduled for execution during turn 1002 (see Figure 1). On turn 1001 commands that were issued on turn 0999 would be executed. This allowed messages to be received, acknowledged, and ready to process while the game was still animating and running the simulation.
Figure 1. Tagging commands to be executed two "communications turns" in the future.
Turns were typically 200 msec in length, with commands being sent out during the turn. After 200 msec, the turn was cut off and the next turn was started. At any point during the game, commands were being processed for one turn, received and stored for the next turn, and sent out for execution two turns in the future.
"Speed Control"
Figure 2. Speed Control.
Since the simulations must always have the exact same input, the game can really only run as fast as the slowest machine can process the communications, render the turn, and send out new commands. Speed Control is what we called the system to change the length of the turn to keep the animation and gameplay smooth over changing conditions in communications lag and processing speed.
There are two factors that make the gameplay feel "laggy": If one machine's frame rate drops (or is lower than the rest) the other machines will process their commands, render all of the allocated time, and end up waiting for the next turn -- even tiny stops are immediately noticeable. Communications lag -- due to Internet latency and lost data packets would also stop the game as the players waited around for enough data to complete the turn.
Each client calculated a frame rate that it thought could be consistently maintained by averaging the processing time over a number of frames. Since this varied over the course of the game with the visible line-of-sight, number of units, map size and other factors -- it was sent with each "Turn Done" message.
Each client would also measure a round trip "ping time" periodically from it to the other clients. It would also send the longest average ping time it was seeing to any of the clients with the "Turn Done" message. (Total of 2 bytes was used for speed control)
Each turn the designated host would analyze the "done" messages, figure out a target frame rate and adjustment for Internet latency. The host would then send out a new frame rate and communications turn length to be used. Figures 3 through 5 show how the communications turn was broken up for the different conditions.
Figure 3. A single communication turn.
Figure 4. High Internet latency with normal machine performance.
Figure 5. Poor machine performance with normal latency.
The "communications turn" which was roughly the round-trip ping time for a message, was divided up into the number of simulation frames that on average could be done by the slowest machine in that period.
The communications turn length was weighted so it would quickly rise to handle Internet latency changes, and slowly settle back down to the best average speed that could be consistently maintained. The game would tend to pause or slow only at the very worst spikes- command latency would go up but would stay smooth (adjusting only a few milliseconds per turn) as the game adjusted back down to best possible speed. This gave the smoothest play experience possible while still adjusting to changing conditions.
Guaranteed Delivery
At the network layer UDP was used, with command ordering, drop detection and resending being handled by each client. Each message used a couple of bytes to identify the turn that execution was scheduled and the sequence number for the message. If a message was received for a past turn, it was discarded, and incoming messages were stored for execution. Because of the nature of UDP, Mark's assumption for message receipt was that "When in doubt, assume it dropped." If messages were received out of order, the receiver immediately sent out re-send requests for the dropped messages. If an acknowledgement was later than predicted, the sender would just resend without being asked anticipating the message had been dropped.
Hidden Benefits
Because the game's outcome depended on all of the users executing exactly the same simulation, it was extremely difficult to hack a client (or client communication stream) and cheat. Any simulation that ran differently was tagged as "out of sync" and the game stopped. Cheating to reveal information locally was still possible, but these few leaks were relatively easy to secure in subsequent patches and revisions. Security was a huge win.
Hidden Problems
At first take it might seem that getting two pieces of identical code to run the same should be fairly easy and straightforward -- not so. The Microsoft product manager, Tim Znamenacek, told Mark early on, "In every project, there is one stubborn bug that goes all the way to the wire -- I think out-of-sync is going to be it." He was right. The difficulty with finding out-of-sync errors is that very subtle differences would multiply over time. A deer slightly out of alignment when the random map was created would forage slightly differently -- and minutes later a villager would path a tiny bit off, or miss with his spear and take home no meat. So what showed up as a checksum difference as different food amounts had a cause that was sometimes puzzling to trace back to the original cause.
As much as we check-summed the world, the objects, the pathfinding, targeting and every other system -- it seemed that there was always one more thing that slipped just under the radar. Giant (50MB) message traces and world object dumps to sift through made the problem even more difficult. Part of the difficulty was conceptual -- programmers were not used to having to write code that used the same number of calls to random within the simulation (yes, the random numbers were seeded and synchronized as well).

Despite denouncing it in the past, Obama is taking corporate money to pay for events Jan. 20.
Time and again, President Obama has promised to curb the power of special interests, a stance more consistently breached than honored. The latest — which comes after Obama reneged on his pledge to accept only public financing for the 2008 general election if his GOP opponent did the same, and after his re-election campaign in early 2012 began urging donors to send money to a super-PAC, a financing mechanism he had spent years decrying — is his decision to accept corporate money to pay for events at the presidential inauguration this month.
It's a notable shift from four years ago, when the newly elected president limited individual contributions to $50,000 and barred corporate entities entirely; this year, the Presidential Inaugural Committee cares less about where the money comes from than whether it's green, accepting unlimited donations from corporations or individuals. This has good-government organizations up in arms, not to mention conservative groups that accuse the president of hypocrisy. They aren't wrong, even if their cause is a little overblown.
On the subject of hypocrisy, Obama does have a disturbing tendency to harshly criticize his opponents for behavior that he later imitates; that may not be terribly unusual in presidential politics, but it at least seems worthy of note, or an explanation, or even an apology. On the subject of good governance, the inauguration decision sets yet another terrible precedent, signaling to insiders that the president's rhetoric about curbing special interests is nothing more than campaign blather to be swiftly ignored after the oath of office is administered — or in this case, even before.
Yet now that we've almost managed to work up a head of steam about the inauguration switch … comes the crashing realization that it doesn't really make much difference. The events hosted by the Presidential Inauguration Committee — the swearing-in ceremony, a parade and assorted balls — represent only a tiny portion of the Inauguration Day activities. They will go off without a hitch just as they did in 2009. And despite the committee's precautions that year, it's unlikely that the ban on corporate contributions led to much of a reduction in lobbying; most of the money raised by the inauguration committee came from bundlers working for Wall Street firms such as Goldman Sachs that were then in need of government assistance.
Symbolism is everything. In 2009, corporate America was being blamed for causing the economic downturn and Obama was elected with a mandate to crack down. Today, he may be seeking to mend fences and bring CEOs back to the negotiating table after a bruising campaign pitting "job creators" against the working man and woman. Or maybe he's just being two-faced.

Four Sussex cricketers are now Guinness World Record holders.
Marcus Campopiano (Cuckfield), Matt Blandford (Crawley), Adam Neill (Robertsbridge) and Regan Derham (who plays for East Grinstead) were all part of the 16 man squad who broke the record.
The game lasted a whopping 30 hours 39 minutes 27 seconds.
Campopiano and Blandford were opposing skippers for the attempt.
Blandford said: ""I am over the moon that we have done it. It's only just sunk in, but the fact that we have managed to pull this off is amazing. I am so proud of all the boys who played and am so thankful to all that helped out.
"Obviously a huge thanks goes to our sponsors; Eskimo, Nature Valley, Captiv8, Brilens, without whom we couldn't have done this. When we came up with this idea, I never thought it'd actually happen, the fact we have done this is amazing and I am so happy we have."
Tom Phillippe and Inderpal Nandra both managed to score a 100 inside their 4 overs of batting time. Matt Blandford took the first hat trick.

As mentioned in JMX Connection Infrastructure, a broker is configured by default for non-secure communication using the preconfigured jmxrmi connector. Applications wishing to use the Secure Socket Layer (SSL) for secure communication must activate the alternate ssljmxrmi connector. The ssljmxrmi connector is preconfigured with imq.jmx.connector.RMIconnectorName.useSSL=true.
Obtain and install a signed certificate.
The procedure is the same as for the ssljms, ssladmin, or cluster connection service, as described under Using Signed Certificates.
Install the root certification authority certificate in the trust store if necessary.
Add the ssljmxrmi connector to the list of JMX connectors to be activated at broker startup:
Start the broker.
Use the Broker utility (imqbrokerd), either passing it the keystore password in a passfile or typing it from at the command line when prompted.
Disable validation of certificates if desired.
By default, the ssljmxrmi connector (or any other SSL-based connector) is configured to validate all broker SSL certificates presented to it. Validation will fail if the signer of the certificate is not in the client's trust store. To avoid this validation (for instance, when using self-signed certificates during software testing), set the broker property imq.jmx.connector.ssljmxrmi.brokerHostTrusted to true.

By now we've all heard of the news coming out of CERN and OPERA on 23 September that the Italian accelerator, OPERA, measured neutrinos traveling faster than the speed of light. I didn't comment on the finding right away because I wanted to do some research on the claims and on what exactly happened. So here are my two-cents.
So, what exactly is a neutrino? A neutrino is a fundamental particle and crucial for the standard model of particle physics. The neutrino comes tin three types: [associated with] the electron, muon, and tauon, which are fermions and part of leptons. The have no electric charge and interact only via the weak nuclear force (see the Oxford Companion to Cosmology for more on this). These particle are incredibly difficult to detect and pass through our bodies all the time (this is a nice little Italian cartoon that has an excellent depiction of neutrinos).
So, what happened? CERN sent the neutrinos 730lm to the Italian accelerator OPERA. The journey only took 2.43 milliseconds and the scientists timed it to within 10 nanoseconds. (A millisecond is a thousandth of a second, 1/1,000s and a nanosecond is a billionth of a second, 1/1,000,000,000s). The neutrinos arrived 60 nanoseconds earlier than they would have if they were traveling at the speed of light (c = 299,792,458 m/s). There are three options of what could have happened.
- Option One. The experiment was in error and the calculations are simply incorrect.
- Option Two. The speed of light is not the cosmic speed limit and there must be slight adjustments for relativity theory.
- Option Three. The neutrinos took a shortcut through extra dimensions.
Option One: Experimental Error. The OPERA team spent three years trying to calculate and find every error they could possibly find. The neutrinos are produced by colliding protons into a graphite target to produce pions and travel a 1km tunnel and decay to produce neutrinos. Electronic delays in the timing system that records when protons arrive at the graphite target introduce uncertainty. However, this margin of error is 5 nanoseconds. Where the pions decay is also unknown, which produces an error of 0.2 ns. Measuring the distance is also difficult because the OPERA lab in Gran Sasso is inside of a mountain, which is undetectable to GPS. However, the distance can still be calculated to within 20 cm. The error is 0.67 ns. With the other errors taken into consideration, the total error bar is 7.4 ns. Remember, if experimental error is going to be the prevalent option the errors have to account for 60 nanoseconds.
Option Two: Adjusting Relativity. If it really is the case that the neutrinos did travel faster than the speed of light then Einstein isn't completely thrown to the curb. There must be a theory that will account for this that will be closer to the truth. This has historical precedence. Newtonian physics were thought to explain the universe until Einstein came around with the concept of relativity. Newton wasn't necessarily wrong, Einstein just provided a more accurate theory. If neutrinos can travel faster than c then we need another Einsteinian discovery. Not that big of deal.
Option Three: Extra Dimensions. It may be the case that the neutrinos, when travel with an incredible amount of energy, travel through the smaller curled up dimensions. Consider the neutrinos traveling into the fourth dimension, this would actually make the distance much shorter. Hopefully this illustration will help. Take a piece of paper and draw a straight line across the paper. Label one end of the line A and the other B. This line is one-dimensional. Take the paper and fold it so it creates an upward arch. Now, if you were to travel from A to B by going through the paper instead of curving around the outside of the paper then the distance would be shorter. This may, perhaps, be what happened to the neutrinos. (For more information on the discovery see New Scientist No. 2832, October 1-7 2011).
I tend to lean more towards option three, that the neutrinos passed through the smaller extra dimensions. This would be an incredible development that would contribute to and, possibly, confirm a prediction of string theory. Part of this may be wishful thinking on my part but this may potentially be an incredible empirical find that would confirm the mathematics. Now, what about further philosophical or theological implications? I don't think this has too much of an impact on philosophy or theology that hasn't already been addressed concerning the philosophy of science or of scientific theology. For more on these implications see "The Relationship Between Science and Philosophy," "Einstein, the Big Bang, and Natural Theology," "Einstein on Free Will," and "Einstein's Impact on the Epistemic Method."

Looking for info on William Leonard and Sophia Anna Warburton.
I dont know anything about William cant find a thing on when he arrived or his death. He married Sophia Anna (or her name could be the other way around)Warburton in 1862 They had already had one son Thomas Francis born under his mothers maiden name in 1859. Have not tracked any other children. I know Thomas moved to Nelson for a long time and Married Miriam Jane Collier 1863-1888.They had 2 Children Emily Louise and Robert Thomas. With the death of his first wife he married again Mary Jane Allen. Same initials that was confusing to deal with. Had another son William Francis. It has been really difficult to track this family.. Thomas was an upholsterer. I cant find any info on Sophia shes a bit of a mystery all i know is she arrived aged 16 with her mother Mary. I think they came from around Birmingham, England
Looking for Edmund Foley 1811-1884
Edmund married Winifred O,Shaughnessy 1813-1861 Her father was John. Not sure if thats the way their name was spelt. A relative thought that the premier of Australia in the 1800s was her father, but the dates dont fit so it could be her brother? That does fit, Edmund and Winifred had 7 children, Mary-Ann ( My line)James, Dennis, Thomas, Edward, John, Micheal. Mary Ann married Joseph Mcgee in 1854, not sure if the marriage survived or what happened, Mary Ann applied for a pension in 1896 in Dargaville and again in 1899 in Mangawhare. At some stage Mary Ann moved to Auckland and lived with her daughter Mary Josephine Robinson where she died in 1914.From the wises directory I have the Robinsons living at 63 Franklin Rd Ponsonby in 1914 in the house was Mary , Mary Ann, Edmund James , Thomas also a Albt Wltr Robinson which I presume was the head of the house a Albert Walter Robinson. In the wises directory of 1919 it is only Mary living there. I would love to know what happen in the missing years. Also if there are many descendants around to see if they have old photos.
Looking for info on James McGee circa 1802 Kilsaren Ireland - 19 July 1853 New Zealand
James was on the Ship Rattlesnake arriving in Russell i think in 1838 in his company were his wife Anne (nee McCartney)1808-april 1889 3 sons Joseph (my line)1831-1901, Richard 1835-1916 and Owen-Curran 1837-1920. They traveled to an area that was named Auckland on their arrival. They were on the ship Anna Watson that arrived 3 days after the ship the Platina. The very first settlers in those two ships in Auckland harbour.
I would love to have more info on James and his sons. I cannot find anything on Owen Curran McGee just that he had a large family. I would love some more photos. I only have one Of Richard and his bride that was taken in Australia at some stage.

Great Lakes Popcorn Company
Over 30 Flavors of Gourmet Popcorn
If you ever decide to visit our store, you can't miss our bright red and white striped awning in downtown Port Clinton, Ohio (The Walleye Capital of the World). Port Clinton also has historical significance, in that Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry captured the British Fleet a few miles off shore during the War of 1812, speeding up the end of the war and leading to a treaty with the British, which basically meant that they could have what is now Canada if they ceased trying to encroach on U.S. territory. (Enough with the history lesson already!)
Once inside our store, you can watch the World's Best Popcorn being made, and maybe even smell the aroma of Frosted Almonds or Pecans being prepared.
Because Port Clinton is located directly on Lake Erie, and because it is often referred to as the "Gateway to the Erie Islands", we get a lot of summer visitors. Just look for the red and white striped awning, or listen for the music on our outdoor speakers.
But if you can't stop by and visit us, you can still enjoy our wonderful popcorn, gourmet nuts, gift tins and numerous other gift items. At Great Lakes Popcorn Co. we specialize in unique, high quality gifts, perfect as fund-raising ideas for schools, churches, or your organization. They're great as corporate gifts to say "Thank You" to your staff or your favorite customers…. for that golf outing, tail-gate parties, or whatever. We can also prepare your popcorn orders in your favorite colors. Our motto is "We Aim To Please".
We have more than 30 delectable flavors of popcorn….from the old standards of Caramel and Cheddar Cheese to our special Island Mix, or Bubble Gum, or even Wild Walleye ! That's right….we said Wild Walleye, a blend of special Cajun spices that makes it one of the favorites. You can't be located in the Walleye Capital of the world and not serve something called "Walleye".
Besides the popcorn and coated nuts which we make every day, we can include other gift items such as Chocolate Coated Pretzels and other tasty treats.

Very short-term Treasury rates have already fallen off their own cliff after the Senate failed to pass a bill that would extend an unlimited guarantee program for certain non-interest-bearing transaction accounts through next year, instead of allowing the program to expire on Dec. 31.
One-month bill rates dropped to 0.003% on Friday — just a hair above zero — from 0.0583% a week ago. OK, the rates are razor-thin anyway, but that's a 95% drop in one week.
They've fallen from a recent high of 0.15% at the end of last month.
Three-month bill rates have dropped to 0.018% from 0.887% a week ago — a 98% plunge.
"This week's decline in T-bill rates was dramatic, with bill rates falling a few basis points to their lowest since January," said Tony Crescenzi, a portfolio manager at Pimco.
"The expiration of the TAG program is the lesser-known 'cliff' and it will result in a further decrease in the universe of 'safe' assets, as roughly $1.6 trillion of non-interest bearing transaction balances will suddenly become uninsured. This in theory will compel investors to shift assets from uninsured deposit accounts to money market instruments deemed safer, chiefly government and agency securities." Read: Bill extending bank-account guarantees fails key Senate test.
But even Crescenzi noted, it's not quite all about the TAG expiration.
"Other factors affecting money market rates include the lack of discernible progress on the fiscal cliff, and positioning for year-end" and the end of the Federal Reserve's selling of short-term Treasury debt, he said.
