Miles overstates the D700 problems. The memory channels didn't become corrupted; they are fine. Physically, the radio is fine. What happened was that the programmed operating modes (PMs, in D700 terminology) were overwritten by unplanned (and unknown) changes, probably during the SSTV try-outs. Without reliable PMs, changing modes requires a lengthy and error-prone procedure to switch between packet operations and school contacts. Therefore, the radio was manually put in the school contact configuration and left there. That is its primary mission. Fixing the PMs does not require an OS load (whatever that means). The custom EPROM firmware, which modified some of the D700's functions for space use, doesn't need to be changed. The PMs are just operator configurations that can be reloaded from a computer via a serial port on the front of the radio, without disassembling anything. All that is needed is the computer, crew training, and scheduled crew time to do it (all of which are hard to arrange on ISS). -- Dave, W8AAS On Apr 5, 2007, at 3:26 PM, MM wrote: > > ISS Amateur Radio Status: April 5, 2007 > > By Miles Mann WF1F, > > Voice and Packet: > The Kenwood D700 celebrated its 3-year of service last > December.

Semi sales rush to new peak
Cheap devices push chips
After a slight dip in February that was nothing compared to the precipice that chip sales plummeted over a year ago during the economic meltdown, global semiconductor sales did a sequential bump and are kissing the peak sales the industry hit in November 2007.
The Semiconductor Industry Association, which tracks monthly chip sales across all types on a globally basis, said that in March, revenues rose by 58.3 per cent, to $23.1bn. That also represented a 4.6 per cent sequential bump from February, when sales were $22bn and actually down a bit from January.
As you can see from the chart above, the economic meltdown just sucked the oxygen out of the global chip market, with a decline that was even steeper than that experienced during the dot-com bust. However, the computers and other electronics we use in our lives are much more pervasive and numerous, and more of the 6.5 billion people on the planet have them, than was the case a decade ago, so the absolute revenues that chips bring in each month is much larger and there is a new floor of sales that seems to be around $15bn compared to around $10bn a decade ago.
The decline in global chip sales thanks to the economic meltdown was steeper than during the dot-com bust, and the recovery has been quicker and now effectively complete. (Note: the SIA's statistics are three-month moving averages, which tend to smooth out the curves a bit).
In the first quarter, SIA says that chip sales of all types were up 58.4 per cent, to $69.2bn.
"Global sales of semiconductors set a new high for the month of March and were second only to the record sales reported in November 2007," said George Scalise, president of the SIA, in a statement accompanying the numbers. "Healthy demand from major end markets coupled with restocking to normal inventory levels contributed to strong first-quarter growth. While we expect that 2010 sales will continue to be strong, the year-on-year growth rate will moderate going forward, reflecting the industry recovery that began in the second half of 2009."
Scalise said that chip sales have rebounded as wafer bakers are ramping up production and stocking supplies to meet expected demand for the remainder of the year, and he added that the SIA is not predicting overcapacity or excess inventories as it looks ahead. Computing and communications devices account for 60 per cent of total chip demand and are "seeing healthy unit growth," according to Scalise, with PCs projected to grow at the mid-to-high teens and handsets expected to grow in the high single digits this year.
"Continued growth for the semiconductor industry is closely tied to continuation of the global economic recovery," Scalise said. "We remain cautiously optimistic that global sales will show double-digit growth in 2010," Scalise concluded.
Chip sales have just exploded in the Asia/Pacific region, where an ever-increasing portion of the world's electronics are manufactured and where the bulk of chips get sold.
(And, increasingly, where chips are baked as well. The Middle kingdom should just build a 10 billion node cloud and just cut out the middle men).
In March, Asia/Pacific accounted for $12.57bn in semi revenues, up 72 per cent year-on-year and up 3.8 per cent sequentially. The Americas region accounted for $3.82bn in sales, up 48.2 per cent compared to March 2009 and up 5.6 per cent from this February. Europe still makes stuff and therefore still buys chips, and in this case, manufacturers of various devices consumed $3.08bn in chips, up 42 per cent year-on-year and 7.1 per cent sequentially. Japan bought $3.59bn in chips, 43 per cent more than a year ago, and an increase of 4.6 per cent from February's levels.
While overall semiconductor revenues were up smartly in the first quarter compared to a ridiculously easy compare, as far as market researcher IDC knows, PC microprocessor unit shipments fell a little less than usual sequentially from the four quarter, dropping 5.6 per cent when shipments usually fall 7 to 8 per cent sequentially. On a year-on-year basis, PC processor shipments were up 39 per cent and revenues were up 40.4 per cent compared to the first quarter of 2009.
The IDC numbers put x64 server chips into the data, by the way, which is weird but necessary because x64 workstations use the same chips as servers. Compared to the fourth quarter of 2009, x64 server chip shipments were down only 1.4 per cent, compared to a 6.3 per cent shipment drop for mobile PCs and 5.1 per cent for desktop PCs. Average selling prices for PC (and server) chips rose by 4.1 per cent even as shipments slowed, which shows people are investing in performance. But some are going for cheap chips. For instance, Intel's Atom processors accounted for 20 percent of Intel's mobile PC shipments, but this was off from 24 per cent of the mix in the year-ago quarter.
"Intel's new Core processors and AMD's new Athlon processors are ramping, and at a time when, IDC believes, consumers and corporations will be anticipating a much healthier 2010 and looking for more value than just low price in their PCs," said Shane Rau director of semiconductor personal computing research at IDC. "In terms of the processor, that means more openness to paying for benefits such as good performance and reduced power consumption that serves long battery life."
Intel accounted for 81 per cent of unit shipments in the first quarter in the PC (and x64 server) space, gaining a half point of share, while AMD got 18.8 per cent of shipments, losing six-tenths of a point of share. VIA Technologies had a tiny two-tenths of a per cent of the PC (and x64 server) chip pie. Intel had 87.8 per cent of the chip shipments for mobile PCs (compared to 12.1 per cent for AMD and 0.1 per cent for VIA), while in the PC server/workstation segment, Intel had a 90.2 per cent share of shipments (compared to AMD's 9.8 per cent slice of the pie). AMD has the best share on the desktop, with 28 per cent of shipments compared to Intel's 71.7 per cent and VIA's three-tenths of a point.
IDC is now cautiously optimistic that PC processor unit shipments will rise by 15.1 per cent in 2010. ®

A Scrimshaw Skull in Whales Exhibition main content.
by AMNH on
A curious confluence of history, industry, and art can be seen in the skull of a rough-toothed dolphin, Steno bredanensis, featured in the special exhibition Whales: Giants of the Deep. The 19.5-inch-long skull is nearly covered with scrimshaw—engraved and pigmented images—of flowering trees, a butterfly, flags, ships, a turret, and a harlequin pattern along the mandible.
Click on the image for a closer look.
It is an especially large and unusual example of the distinctive art form that flourished along with the whaling industry in the 19th century.
Here is a close-up of the teeth, with a harlequin pattern along the snout and lower jaw.
The origin of this piece is unknown, but it was created sometime between 1750 and 1850, likely circa 1825 based on the flags depicted. While earlier examples have been found, the art form is primarily associated with the heyday of hunting whales for fuel—blubber oil and the cleaner-burning spermaceti oil—until these were supplanted by hydrocarbons extracted from the earth. American whaling peaked in 1853, when 8,000 whales were killed in one year.
Click on the image for a closer look.
Scrimshaw developed as a pastime for whalers who had plenty of idle moments at sea on voyages that sometimes lasted for years. Broadly defined, the term refers to any artifacts and tools made from teeth, tusks, or bones of marine animals, including whales, walruses, and, as in the example above, dolphins (a type of toothed whale). But scrimshaw is usually more narrowly associated with the delicate engravings on these same materials, augmented with black and sometimes colored pigments.
This scrimshaw skull came to the Museum as part of the Warren Natural History Collection, which was purchased in 1906 by banker and Museum Trustee J. Pierpont Morgan. The collection had been put together by Dr. John Collins Warren (1778–1856) and is best known for the Warren Mastodon, a massive fossil skeleton now on display in the Paul and Irma Milstein Hall of Advanced Mammals on the fourth floor.

An intraocular lens, or IOL, is a clear, plastic lens that requires no care and becomes a permanent part of the eye. Based on test results, a surgeon will recommend the best IOL for each individual patient. The three types of IOL are traditional, toric and multifocal.
Traditional Monofocal IOLs
Traditional IOLs are monofocal, meaning they offer vision at one distance only (far, intermediate or near). The doctor will help decide whether it's most important for a patient to see up close or at a distance without glasses. If the patient chooses the distance option, glasses will likely still be required for reading and computer work.
- Pro: Traditional IOLS are the least expensive lenses, and Medicare or insurance usually covers the cost.
- Con: If you have astigmatism and choose a monofocal lens, you may still need to wear glasses all the time.
Astigmatism is a very common vision condition that causes blurred vision due to the irregular shape of the cornea.
Toric Monofocal IOLs
Toric IOLs can also be used to correct astigmatism, depending on how the cornea is shaped. Toric lenses are generally used for higher levels of astigmatism while lower levels can often be corrected with cuts made in the cornea that are used to change the shape of the eye. These cuts are called limbal relaxing incision (LRI) and can be made by hand with a blade or with precision of a laser. Depending on the degree of astigmatism, your surgeon may recommend a toric IOL or an LRI or both.
- Pro: Toric lenses generally provide clear distance vision. For some people, toric lenses give them the crispest vision of their life.
- Con: You will likely need glasses or contact lenses to read. Also, you will likely have to pay an extra fee for either a toric IOL or an LRI.
Multifocal and Extended Depth of Focus IOLs
Multifocal and extended depth of focus IOLs are designed to help you see near, far and in between with as little glasses or contact use as possible. Studies show 80-90% of patients are glasses free with the remaining 10-20% needing glasses for some distance.
- Pro: Multifocal and extended depth of focus IOLs offer the best chance to see both near and far without wearing glasses or contact lenses.
- Con: These are the most expensive lens choice. Most insurance does not cover the additional expense of these lenses.

After weeks of a rising stock market and relative calm on the political front, gridlock jitters are re-emerging on Wall Street and in markets around the world.
Continue Reading Below
On a number of fronts, investors are once again being lured away from traditional measures like surprisingly solid earnings and so-so economic figures to zero in on concerns triggered by political dysfunction.
The political picture worsened this week as Washington doesn't appear close to avoiding the latest manufactured crisis of sequestration, surprise elections results in Italy renewed fears about the eurozone and Egypt's main opposition announced a boycott of upcoming elections.
"All of the problems seem to be focused on governments. How do you model for governmental dysfunction? You really can't," said Sam Stovall, chief investment strategist at McGraw-Hill's (NYSE:MHP).
Political fears stormed back into focus on Monday as the Dow Industrials tumbled 216 points, their steepest selloff since November, after general election results in Italy left the world's third-largest debtor in political stalemate.
Italy Throws Markets Into Turmoil
Italian voters spooked investors by supporting political parties that pledged to ease or even undo crucial austerity measures.
The results "appear to leave the government in a three way struggle for both power and mandate," Peter Kenny, managing director at Knight Capital Group (NYSE:KCG), told clients in a note. "The political cliffhanger taking place in Italy is precisely the type of stimulus that drives fear into the markets and that is highly unpredictable."
The ugly performance on Wall Street was exasperated by preliminary results that indicated a far better outcome for the markets.
"Each new speculation and contention put the situation into darker and darker perspective. Soon all the bids had disappeared and sellers tumbled into a virtual vacuum," Art Cashin, director of floor operations at UBS (NYSE:UBS), wrote in a note. "If the bell had been delayed for 15 or 20 minutes, this could have turned ugly…..very ugly."
The surprise support for the center-right coalition of former premier Silvio Berlusconi and Pier Luigi Bersani stunned global investors on Tuesday, sending the Euro Stoxx 50 diving 3.07% and Italy's benchmark plummeting almost 5%. The yield on Italian 10-year bonds surged to 4.9% -- levels unseen since November.
Will Results Spark Another Crisis?
Until recently, Berlusconi, a billionaire media tycoon, appeared to have little chance of returning to power after an October 2012 conviction for tax evasion.
"He's like something from a Halloween movie. He just keeps coming back when you think he's dead," said Eric Wiegand, senior portfolio manager at U.S. Bank (NYSE:USB). "This just brings everything flooding back unfortunately."
The election results underscore fears that the eurozone could become unglued again, with bond yields spiking to sustainable levels due to jitters other countries will back away from their reforms.
Until this month, the continent appeared to be on much stronger footing thanks to bold promises of aid from the European Central Bank in exchange for hard-fought concessions from countries like Italy.
"The worry is…couldn't other countries do exactly the same thing?" said Stovall. "Maybe in the back of our minds we're thinking: how different are we here?"
Another Manufactured U.S. Crisis
In the U.S., political leaders appear to be barreling towards the March 1 sequestration deadline with little hope of a compromise.
Failure to reach a deal will trigger $85 billion in automatic spending cuts this year alone, reductions that the White House has warned could be disastrous, though the markets are hardly panicking.
"We shouldn't underestimate the ability of the sequester to slow the economy and weigh down GDP," Ed Yardeni, president of investment advisory Yardeni Research, told clients on Tuesday.
The inability of lawmakers to compromise on sequestration, which many in both parties see as a bad outcome, underscores the deeper political stalemate gripping Washington.
"From our vantage point, it doesn't seem like there is a lot of effort here in the states for people to reach across the aisle. It seems like both parties are still firmly entrenched with where they had been," said Wiegand.
That gridlock is especially concerning because Washington is facing huge upcoming hurdles: a March 27 deadline to avert a shutdown of the federal government, a May 18 deadline to avoid breaching the debt ceiling and over the longer term a need to resolve the country's unsustainable debt problem.
"It seems as if what they're most focused on is getting the other party unseated, not fixing the problems," said Stovall.
Middle East on Investors' Radar
There are also lingering concerns about the Middle East, especially after the main opposition party in Egypt announced plans on Tuesday to boycott highly-anticipated parliamentary elections.
That decision threatens to intensify the ongoing political crisis in Egypt, which plays a critical role in geopolitical affairs in the volatile region and operates the pivotal Suez Canal.
"The potential impact of a failed state in Egypt on global markets shouldn't be underestimated," Win Thin, global head of emerging market currency strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman, wrote in a recent note to clients.
Elsewhere in the volatile Middle East, the civil war in Syria that has killed an estimated 70,000 people is nearly two years old with no end in sight and long-standing tensions over Iran's nuclear ambitions persist.
Of course, besides the situation in Italy, the outlook for equity investors hasn't changed all that much from just a few weeks ago when the markets appeared poised to break through all-time highs. And Wall Street has already proved its resiliency, climbing walls of worry many times in the recent past.
New reports released this week point to further improvement in the U.S. economy: January new home sales surged at their fastest pace in nearly two decades, while consumer confidence jumped in February more than projected.
"We've taken a sigh of relief with the improvements on housing and labor but it's very appropriate for these other concerns to move to the forefront," said Wiegand. "They hadn't gone away. They had just been somewhat muted."

Ukraine International Airlines has finalized Winter 2018/19 Schedule.
Effective December 20, UIA will increase frequencies between Kiev and Bangkok up to six weekly flights. Moreover, the airline will offer passengers to take advantage of triple-daily flights between Kiev and Istanbul.
As previously reported, effective October 25, UIA expects to operate a number of flights between Kiev and La Romana (the Dominican Republic). The flights will be operated every 10 days on Mondays and Thursdays. Effective December 27, UIA clients will be provided with an opportunity to reach yet another popular resort of Goa.
Meantime, frequencies between Kiev and Almaty and Kiev and Astana will be decreased from seven to four and three flights per week respectively.
In winter 2018/19, UIA will slightly decrease frequencies between Kiev and the following European destinations: Ankara, Athens, Barcelona, Brussels, Copenhagen, Frankfurt, Helsinki, Larnaca, London, Madrid, Milan (Bergamo), Prague, Riga, Rome, Stockholm, Venice, Vienna, and Vilnius. Frequencies of long-haul flights to Beijing and Toronto will be decreased by one and two weekly flights respectively. Minor reductions are expected on routes to Amman, Baku, Tbilisi, Tehran, Tel Aviv, and Yerevan. UIA will also cut frequencies of non-stop international flights from Ivano-Frankivsk to Valencia and Alicante, as well as from Lviv to Madrid. Simultaneously, the carrier will be operating by one weekly flight less on domestic routes from Kiev to Kharkiv and Lviv.
"Our decision to optimize winter schedule is based on profound potential demand analysis and cost-benefit calculations. For instance, in winter we are increasing flights frequency between Kiev and Bangkok to meet the growing demand of both point-to-point and transit passengers traveling from European cities via Kiev." – noted Sergey Fomenko, UIA Vice President Commerce.
Winter schedule improvement is motivated by low-seasonal demand and temporary fleet reduction due to the airline's ongoing program to change Boeing 737 Classic for Boeing NG aircraft. Therefore, Winter 2018/19 Schedule is adapted to potential demand with due regard to statistics and performance analysis of previous years.
Ukraine International (UIA) was founded in 1992. UIA is a 100% privately owned carrier. The airline connects Ukraine with over 50 capitals and key cities of Europe, Asia, America, Africa, the Middle East, and CIS countries and provides connections with its international partners' flights to over 3,000 other destinations worldwide. Currently, UIA operates 45 aircraft including 30 medium haul Boeing 737 NG aircraft with the average age of 8.7 years. UIA fleet's average age amounts to 11.3 years. UIA operates over 1100 scheduled flights per week. The base airport for UIA is Kiev Boryspil (KBP). For more information on UIA visit the company's website www.flyUIA.com

The State Department says it is taking the unusual step of releasing publicly the feedback it has received about a controversial pipeline project after an "unprecedented" response to its draft environmental report.
The department said it had received more than 1.2 million comments on TransCanada Corp's proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would run from oil sands in Alberta, Canada to refineries and ports along the U.S. Gulf Coast.
Continue Reading Below
The State Department posted about 100,000 comments late on Thursday and plans to release sets of a similar number each week, a process that will take about three months. The comments can be viewed at http://www.regulations.gov/#!docketDetail;D=DOS-2013-0011
"This marks the first time the Department has made all individual comments on a Presidential permit application available to the public," a State Department release said.
The northern leg of the pipeline running from Alberta to Nebraska needs the approval of President Barack Obama because it crosses a national border. Work is well under way on the southern leg, from Texas to Oklahoma.
The State Department said the decision to release the comments was part of an effort to be as transparent as possible about the elements that will go into the decision on whether to approve the project.
The first batch of comments reflected a variety of interests, from lawmakers to local citizens.
Echoing a fractious public hearing held by the State Department in Grand Island, Nebraska last month, they reflected the polarizing nature of the project. Respondents differed widely over the environmental and economic assessments.
The State Department released its 2,000-page environmental impact report on Keystone in March, more than four years after the project was first floated. On balance, the report seemed to lean toward approving the proposed 830,000 barrel per day pipeline.
However, in April, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency rated the draft review "insufficient," signaling that unless the State Department addressed those concerns there could be new roadblocks to the project, which has an estimated cost of at least $5.3 billion.
A U.S. official said this month that a decision on whether to give the go-ahead to the pipeline may not be made until November, December or even early 2014, given the need to painstakingly weigh the impact on the environment against the benefits to energy security.
Among the first batch of comments on the State Department site, two senators - one a Democrat and one a Republican - from states through which the pipeline will pass called for "expeditious approval" of the project, saying it would help the economies of their states and have minimal environmental impact.
"The draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) affirmed what states along the pipeline route determined in their own environmental reviews - this project is environmentally sound and should move forward," wrote Senators Deb Fischer, a Nebraska Republican, and Heidi Heidkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota.

Narrowing a Topic
The procedures surrounding selecting a topic will vary by instructor and by discipline. Read the assignment sheet carefully to ascertain the teacher's expectations. Is there an explicit list of topics, or are you expected to narrow to a topic on your own? Are you to work with a specific theory or course material as you write the paper?
If your instructor hands out a topic list and expects you to operate within those boundaries, keep in mind that those lists are often broad topics, not thesis statements. Other teachers prefer to be intentionally vague in order to give you the freedom to narrow to an area of your interest. That means that you will have to search for a topic that you are willing to work with for a considerable amount of time.
Strategies for a topic search:
- Work from the general to the specific.
- Note in a research notebook provocative questions that arise in class lecture or discussion, topics in your textbook that appear ripe for further exploration, or issues that come up in your conversations with classmates.
- Use prewriting strategies such as brainstorming, clustering, or free writing to generate topics.
- Use the on-line catalogue to narrow to a topic quickly and see what books are available on the topic.
- The Internet is also a useful resource, although you must take care to evaluate Internet sources for reliability.
Now that you have decided on a topic, narrow your focus. You can begin this process by asking yourself the following questions:
- Is this topic consistent with the assignment?
- What is interesting about the topic?
- What do I know about the topic?
- What do I want to know?
- What do I need to know?
Skim the literature to help you narrow your topic to a manageable one which meets your instructor's assignment and your interests.
As an example, if your initial topic for a 10 to 20 page paper is "Space Exploration", by the time you finish your topic search, you might have narrowed your topic to "Unmanned U.S. Space Exploration of Planets" or even to a specific planet and mission like "1997s Pathfinder Mission".

text: Taunton - South Africa captain Graeme Smith has set his side the challenge of displacing England as the world's number one Test side during their forthcoming three-match series.England lead the ICC rankings by a mere point from the Proteas, who held the first net of their tour at Taunton on Saturday ahead of Monday's match against southwest county Somerset.But South Africa are in confident mood, having not lost an away Test series since 2006."We hope getting to number one can be a reward for our consistency," said Smith. "We have been touching the (top of the) rankings for a long time now. "We had a taste of it for a small while (in 2008). We've been top two and top three for a long time now and very close to the pinnacle."We are hoping now with everything we've done, and the way we've prepared, and are going to prepare, that we will be ready for the first Test at The Oval (starting July 19)."The opening batsman led South Africa to a 2-1 Test series win during their last tour of England four years ago and he was confident the current side could repeat that success. "We have come here with a degree of quiet confidence," added Smith, recently recovered from an ankle injury. We have performed well away from home for a period of time now."We have that strength within the squad and strength in confidence to know we can perform well away from home."Having had a success here in 2008, we are hoping to build on that and taste that again."But England are a quality team and throughout all the years of touring here, it is always difficult to beat England. We have a lot of respect for the conditions here and the England cricket team."The first Test at The Oval starts on July 19.

Lego Mindstorms NXT
This started out as a balancing robot similar to the Gyro version of NXTWay and using Ramin's RobotC program.
This worked first time which caught me by surprise - I mean where's the fun in that? So I started playing around with the design. First I made it taller and taller but it still balanced ok so then I decided to see if I could make it stand up again if it fell down.
The result is ToddlerBot. I called it ToddlerBot because it is like a toddler tying to walk for the first time. It starts out face down on the floor, then it stands up and tries to move forward, but just like a toddler it falls dowm. After a few tears it struggles up again and toddles forward until it falls down again. And so on.
I used the HiTechnic Tilt sensor to detect when it had reached the upright position. I found I needed 'arms' at the rear as well when it stood up, otherwise momentum tended to make it fall over backward before it could start balancing.
A single touch sensor serves the double purpose of detecting when it has fallen on its face and also when the 'arms' are fully retracted.
It still has the sonar sensor to detect obstacles but this is pretty much redundant as it never stays upright long enough to reach any obstacles. The extra motor and all the other bits increase the mass of the robot considerably, with the result that the balancing motors have trouble reacting fast enough to counter the extra momentum created as the robot tries to balance. But then that was the idea anyway.
If it falls over backwards, you'll have to get 'mummy' to help it get up again.

When I Grow Up

Actually, I never had an 'I want to be..'. At least not that I can remember. I was a military brat, and traveled the world. I loved that. I suspect that is why I married a military officer. Kind of a given for a lot of brats then: guys went into the military, girls married military.
But I had loved math - 'higher' math - from 7th grade on. Eventually - in my early 30s - I became a computer programmer, and loved it. I think kids need to just explore the world - and themselves. Too much pressure on them these days to 'become something'. Most will find their way.

Diane, I remember my son at 9 saying, "I know you don't think I really will become a baseball player, but I still think I will." He became a computer programmer, and now he works for a fantasy sports site. Hmm.

Liz, I think that qualifies. And the upside is all the fun, but with no sports injuries.

I can't remember a time when I didn't want to be a writer. I worked as a newspaper reporter for a while, but that didn't qualify as the answer to my dreams. Publishing companies seemed determined to keep me from being what I wanted to be, but eventually I made it.
A lot of dreams are derailed when people grow up and realize it isn't simply a matter of wanting something. A lot of other people have to be willing to let you have it, especially if your ambition is to be a professional in any of the arts.

When I was 9 or thereabouts, I wanted to be a writer or a ballerina. Good thing I turned out to be a writer because by now I'd be way past my dancing days.

I always wanted to be a teacher, as I loved school. And I did teach many years - Latin, Drama, Modern Dance. Ancient History, English,Religion, lots of subjects! In every job I've ever had I was always " teaching" or counseling - and some of my franker friends today will say I'm still kinda bossy! Go figure.

What an interesting post!
I wanted to be a writer at 9. At 10, I wrote in a diary of the Christmas play that a cousin & I had created (at the behest of an aunt), "it hasn't been published yet." So apparently I was confidently assuming that someday I'd be a published playwright. I wrote one play for my college creative writing class.

I loved Psychology, and what made all the characters tick in all those books I read.What is funny to me is that no way did I want to become a psychotherapist, I wanted to be a writer, and write commentary. I wasn't very good at any other kind. So I became a psychotherapist, and wrote tons of notes, and letters to judges, and family service worker, and backblog. I am known to write good letters, and a pretty good psychotherapist-you never know.

Lil, for me, being a writer and being a psychotherapist don't feel too different. The connection is connection, whether I'm listening to or revealing the inner lives and relationships of myself and others.

Oh, what a great topic!! I knew I wanted to be a writer when my mother took me to the library for the first time and I checked out my first book, Val a Dog. I turned the last page and said to my little self, "I can do that." And, like you Elizabeth, I wish it had happened for me at age 24.
And speaking of children's multiple aspirations, my 8 year old granddaughter says she wants to be an actress, a singer, and a baby doctor. I told her she had to be an actress and singer first so she could make enough money to go to med school.
Great topic, Elizabeth. And by the way, DEATH WILL HELP YOU LEAVE HIM is next on my reading pile. Have a great New Year.

Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' death at the age of 56 followed a seven-year battle with a rare form of pancreatic cancer - the fourth leading cause of cancer-related deaths in the United States. The disease is hard to treat because it is difficult to diagnose. The pancreas is embedded deep in the abdomen, and often, symptoms of cancer become evident at a very late, advanced stage of the disease.
In 2004, Jobs announced he had undergone surgery for pancreatic cancer -- a mild and rare form of the disease called an islet-cell neuroendocrine tumor.
That form makes up about five percent of all of pancreatic cancers. It affects the cells that produce hormones that control blood sugar levels. The more deadly, and common, form appears in the exocrine cells of the pancreas that produce digestive enzymes.
The pancreas is a 15-centimeter-long gland tucked behind the stomach and below the liver. Pancreatic cancer can be hard to diagnose, since the early stages have no visible symptoms.
"Neuroendocrine tumor, when its detected early, it is curable with surgery alone," explained Dr. Khaled el-Shami, a cancer specialist at George Washington University Medical Center, in Washington. "And when it is advanced, meaning that it has spread from the pancreas to the liver, typically, or other organs - [then] this is [an] incurable disease."
In 2009, five years after his cancer surgery, Jobs received a liver transplant.
"About five months ago I had a liver transplant. So I now have the liver of a mid-20's person," Jobs said.
Dr. el-Shami says a liver transplant is an aggressive way of dealing with cancer, but it's no "magic bullet".
"It's a balance between removing a big chunk of cancer in the liver and the risk of having a weakened immune system, which can encourage not only the original cancer to come back but also the emergence of other cancers," the doctor explained.
While he never treated Steve Jobs and does not know the details of his case, Dr. Matthew Walsh, chairman of General Surgery at Cleveland Clinic says Jobs' cancer was never likely to be cured.
"Having gone through all the treatment, most patients might think that they are cured of the cancer. When it comes back, there is still a great uncertainty [about] what the length of your life will be. It tends to be a disease that does come back - does spread - does take your strength away sort of have all the cancer-associated symptoms and people still die from this type of cancer."
Few details of Steve Jobs' health have ever been made public, but experts speculate that his cancer may have been a case of late diagnosis.

Just a quick blog update for those of you who read this blog and who aren't direct relatives (you're in a pretty exclusive club, trust me).
I'm slowing the blog down as I figure out how to best use it going forward. As I hope you know by now, our new WNPR News website is up, running, and awesome. That's where my attention is for the time being.
So, I'll keep you posted. Ha. Get it? Posted?

Commercial & Residential Valves:
Air, Check, Balancing, Shut-off, Discharge, Expansion, Flow Control, Gate, Line, Metering, Mixing, Needle, Pressure, Purge, Relief, Reversing, Solenoid, Temperature and Zone Control.
The Electronic Pressure Independent Valve (ePIV) is designed for use with building automation systems to perform control and energy-management strategies. It directly measures flow by combining a magnetic flow meter and a two-way control valve. An actuator modulates the control valve to maintain flow regardless of pressure variations, and the flow reading is reported back to the controller. The product range consists of 2-in. to 6-in. valves. belimo.us
Emerson Climate Technologies
Emerson Climate Technologies announces the release of the Emerson NXT series R-410A thermal expansion valve. The Emerson NXT series is a balanced ported valve designed for high efficiency R-410A air conditioning and heat pump applications. According to company sources, NXT series valves operate over a wide range of conditions and applications, and are designed to be the ideal thermal expansion valve for both new system designs and field service.
Key product features include:
• 1-7 ton capacity range
• Stainless steel power element for corrosion protection
• Enhanced diaphragm design for extended life
• Engineered polymer check valve option for increased reverse flow and improved reliability in split-system heat pump applications.
The Honeywell 5000 series zone valves feature a patented ball seal design that provides a new sealing surface each time the valve closes, extending life expectancy of the valve.
In the event of a service call, the valve seal and ball plug are easily accessed for "in-situ" service (no cutting or refitting required). The valves also feature a "slow return" motor and "Quick Fit" pushbutton actuator.honeywell.com
Johnson Controls
The V-3000-8011 and V-3000-8003 pneumatic valve actuators by Johnson Controls, are designed to accurately position steam or water valve modulating plugs in response to a pneumatic signal from a controller. A V-9502 valve pilot positioner can be ordered separately (V-3000-8011 only) for use in applications where sequential operation is desired or additional positioning power is necessary. The actuators have a molded synthetic rubber diaphragm design. This molded diaphragm provides a constant effective area throughout the actuator stroke. All parts are protected by a sturdy die-cast aluminum housing.
KZValve engineers valves and actuators that substantially impact installation performance. KZ's top quality ball and butterfly valves in stainless steel, bronze, polypropylene and nylon, all have stainless steel hardware. Sizes range from ¼-in. to 5-in., with up to 2,000 psi. KZValve actuators are NEMA 6P rated (waterproof), NEMA 7D rated (ignition safe), and exceed the USCG electrical systems standards. Actuators are available in 12V DC, 24V DC and 24V AC. Customized engineering is offered.
Matco-Norca offers a range of steam radiator heating valves constructed with brass and bronze bodies. Matco's entire radiator valve collections are produced in ISO 9002 approved factories.
Matco-Norca's gate valves include brass SGV radiator supply valves and bronze steam radiator BSGV valves with connections x male unions. Both SGV and BSGV valves have a working steam pressure of 125-200 WOG. Sizes range from 1-in. to 1-1/4-in. for SGV valves and ¾-in. to 1-1/2-in. for BSGV valves.
Steam radiator angle valves include heavy pattern bronze BARV valves and heavy pattern brass BARVY valves, again with female iron pipe connections x male unions. BARV and BARVY valves have a working steam pressure of 15-60 WOG maximum steam pressure. Sizes range from ½-in. up to 1-1/2-in. for BARV valves and ½-in. up to 2-in. for BARVY valves.
The NCC1991 condensing tankless water heater from Noritz America delivers a thermal efficiency of 94%, with an input range of 16,000 to 199,900 Btu. This enables the unit to meet the hot water needs of larger residential applications as well as a wide variety of commercial projects.
Using a special quick connect cable, two NCC199-DV units can be coupled to provide an input of nearly 400,000 Btu, with a turndown ratio of more than 36 to 1. This makes the NCC1991 ideal for applications where hot water demand can vary substantially over the course of a day or throughout the year.
To obtain its 94% efficiency level, the NCC1991 uses a secondary heat exchanger, made entirely of stainless steel, transferring heat from the exhaust gases to the water. This heat recovery process lowers the temperature of the flue gases, allowing an additional, cost-savings benefit: exhaust vent runs with less expensive, installer-friendly PVC piping rather than the stainless steel venting required by conventional tankless water heaters. noritz.com
Parker Hannifin
Parker Hannifin Corporation introduces two new electric expansion valves (EEVs).
The Sporlan SER-AA and SER-A valves are ideal for subcritical C02 (R-744) supermarket cases and other small HFC and HCFC (hydrofluorocarbon) applications. The uni-body construction (a unique feature of the SER family) strengthens corrosion resistance, reduces leak paths and improves mounting flexibility.
The removable M12 connections on the SER-AA and SER-A meet IP67 standards.
The Vic-Ball valve is a high-pressure, standard-port ball valve with grooved ends. Its internal design has been streamlined to provide excellent flow characteristics, and comes available in ductile iron and stainless steel versions. A three-port diverter ball for redirecting flow 90 degrees left or right is available for carbon steel or stainless steel piping systems. Vic-Ball valves are sized 11/2 to 6-in. depending on body construction type. A 1/4 to 2-in. threaded brass ball valve is also available for a variety of services.

- manage sets of counter requests
cc [ flag… ] file… -lcpc [ library… ] #include <libcpc.h> cpc_set_t *cpc_set_create(cpc_t *cpc);
int cpc_set_destroy(cpc_t *cpc, cpc_set_t *set);
int cpc_set_add_request(cpc_t *cpc, cpc_set_t *set, const char *event, uint64_t preset, uint_t flags, uint_t nattrs, const cpc_attr_t *attrs);
void cpc_walk_requests(cpc_t *cpc, cpc_set_t *set, void *arg, void (*action)(void *arg, int index, const char *event, uint64_t preset, uint_t flags, int nattrs, const cpc_attr_t *attrs));
The cpc_set_create() function returns an initialized and empty CPC set. A CPC set contains some number of requests, where a request represents a specific configuration of a hardware performance instrumentation counter present on the processor. The cpc_set_t data structure is opaque and must not be accessed directly by the application.
Applications wanting to program one or more performance counters must create an empty set with cpc_set_create() and add requests to the set with cpc_set_add_request(). Once all requests have been added to a set, the set must be bound to the hardware performance counters (see cpc_bind_curlwp(), cpc_bind_pctx(), and cpc_bind_cpu(), all described on cpc_bind_curlwp(3CPC)) before counting events. At bind time, the system attempts to match each request with an available physical counter capable of counting the event specified in the request. If the bind is successful, a 64-bit virtualized counter is created to store the counts accumulated by the hardware counter. These counts are stored and managed in CPC buffers separate from the CPC set whose requests are being counted. See cpc_buf_create(3CPC) and cpc_set_sample(3CPC).
The cpc_set_add_request() function specifies a configuration of a hardware counter. The arguments to cpc_set_add_request() are:
A string containing the name of an event supported by the system's processor. The cpc_walk_events_all() and cpc_walk_events_pic() functions (both described on cpc_npic(3CPC)) can be used to query the processor for the names of available events. Certain processors allow the use of raw event codes, in which case a string representation of an event code in a form acceptable to strtol(3C) can be used as the event argument.
The value with which the system initializes the counter.
Three flags are defined that modify the behavior of the counter acting on behalf of this request:
The counter should count events that occur while the processor is in user mode.
The counter should count events that occur while the processor is in privileged mode.
Request a signal to be sent to the application when the physical counter overflows. A SIGEMT signal is delivered if the processor is capable of delivering an interrupt when the counter counts past its maximum value. All requests in the set containing the counter that overflowed are stopped until the set is rebound.
At least one of CPC_COUNT_USER or CPC_COUNT_SYSTEM must be specified to program the hardware for counting.
The nattrs argument specifies the number of attributes pointed to by the attrs argument, which is an array of cpc_attr_t structures containing processor-specific attributes that modify the request's configuration. The cpc_walk_attrs() function (see cpc_npic(3CPC)) can be used to query the processor for the list of attributes it accepts. The library makes a private copy of the attrs array, allowing the application to dispose of it immediately after calling cpc_set_add_request().
The cpc_walk_requests() function calls the action function on each request that has been added to the set. The arg argument is passed unmodified to the action function with each call.
Upon successful completion, cpc_set_create() returns a handle to the opaque cpc_set_t data structure. Otherwise, NULL is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
Upon successful completion, cpc_set_destroy() returns 0. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
Upon successful completion, cpc_set_add_request() returns an integer index used to refer to the data generated by that request during data retrieval. Otherwise, -1 is returned and errno is set to indicate the error.
These functions will fail if:
An event, attribute, or flag passed to cpc_set_add_request() was invalid.
For cpc_set_destroy() and cpc_set_add_request(), the set parameter was not created with the given cpc_t.
There was not enough memory available to the process to create the library's data structures.
See attributes(5) for descriptions of the following attributes:
cpc_bind_curlwp(3CPC), cpc_buf_create(3CPC), cpc_npic(3CPC), cpc_seterrhndlr(3CPC), libcpc(3LIB), strtol(3C), attributes(5)
The system automatically determines which particular physical counter to use to count the events specified by each request. Applications can force the system to use a particular counter by specifying the counter number in an attribute named picnum that is passed to cpc_set_add_request(). Counters are numbered from 0 to n - 1, where n is the number of counters in the processor as returned by cpc_npic(3CPC).
Some processors, such as UltraSPARC, do not allow the hardware counters to be programmed differently. In this case, all requests in the set must have the same configuration, or an attempt to bind the set will return EINVAL. If a cpc_errhndlr_t has been registered with cpc_seterrhndlr(3CPC), the error handler is called with subcode CPC_CONFLICTING_REQS. For example, on UltraSPARC pic0 and pic1 must both program events in the same processor mode (user mode, kernel mode, or both). For example, pic0 cannot be programmed with CPC_COUNT_USER while pic1 is programmed with CPC_COUNT_SYSTEM. Refer to the hardware documentation referenced by cpc_cpuref(3CPC) for details about a particular processor's performance instrumentation hardware.

Internationally known spoken-word artist Marc Marcel is seasoned in his craft, with talents that range from wide selection of artistic gifts. He is a dynamic poet, writer, author, producer and speaker. Raised in Baltimore, Maryland, Marcel made his start in Atlanta, Georgia, where he honed his art form, and has since shared his gifts across the country, as well as abroad. Add to all this that he is a loving and devoted father, as well as mentor to various youth and young adult groups. Recently we had a chance to sit down and talk with Marcel about his career, his latest CD Respect, his life and his future ambitions.
How did you begin your career as a spoken-word artist?
Marcel: I am a novelist at heart. I wrote my first novel "St. Thomas" nine years ago and I self published it. I started writing poetry at the end of my novel titled "Games We Play."(which was never released) The poem was going to be about the same subject as the novel. I started writing novel's first, because I was dating this young lady at the time, I just had to get the emotions off of my chest. I let her read the first 80 pages of the "Games We Play." novel, needles to say, we are no longer together. The first poem that I wrote was after the book "St. Thomas" I actually recorded my first spoken word CD 8 years ago, but it was released a couple of weeks before 9/11.
You have said in your biography that one of your college professors taught the students your poems, could you elaborate on that?
Marcel: I had extra credit, one day for school and my professor had a poetry reading open mic. I was late and I begged him to please look over my poem. He was hesitant but he eventually did and he loved it and asked me to bring it to class the next day. He stopped teaching his class for two weeks and taught them my poetry. I was like 'wow.' That was the first person other than my folks, who took interest in my work.
When is your second novel going to be released?
Marcel: I have actually written eight novels in three and a half years. I also have over 2500 poems. My novels are my babies, when I publish another novel I want to do it right not just put it out there any kind of way. As I said before I self-published "St. Thomas," it took a lot out of me. Next time that I do it I want a big company to be behind it.
You also have done some acting, correct?
Marcel: You are, I have done a skit on "Jimmy Kimmell" as well as an episode of "Lyrics Café," as well a show called "No Reservations." I did a spoken word performance on "Poets Corner" a few years back. That is TV wise. I have also been meeting with various agents, lawyers and producers, just trying to put together my own show.
The name of your latest CD is titled "Respect," why did you name your CD that?
Marcel: It is the tattoo on my neck so I said I might as well put it in print.
Is it hard for you to be a devoted father and have these various career ambitions?
Marcel: I used to feel conflicted with it, but with time I have grown to accept it. I want to be there for my son everyday of his life, but 1. I am not with his mother so that is a hard thing, 2. I travel so much. I was wondering how that would hamper our relationship. I always try to call my son and see him as much as possible. How can I tell my son to go for his goals if I don't do the same thing with mine? He is very proud of me; to him I am a superstar. He brags about me to his friends and has high aspirations. We have a wonderful relationship. He calls me every other day. He works harder at what he does now too by seeing me work hard. I love him with all of my heart.
You mentioned earlier about your plan to start your own TV show, what other plans do you have for the future?
Marcel: I have big plans for the future. I came to L.A. strictly to develop my reality show trying to make into a spoken word kind of thing. The people who I have met out here have even bigger plans for me than that; they have me envisioning that I could actually sell out Madison Square Garden. I really appreciate that kind of thinking. That kind of motivation is priceless.
How can people reach you and what do you want them to remember about you?
Marcel: They can go to my website which is www.marcmarcel.com. I want them to remember my work. I aim to touch people's lives and be an inspiration to them.

Comic 529: "Guys, remember that one funny thing? that thing was so funny!"
A very long time ago, when I first started this blog, I was in a pissed-as-hell kind of mood. You'll see, if you go back into the recesses of the archives here, that the first post I ever made was this one, responding to the inanity of xkcd comic 409 (the posts that claim to be older than that - the category posts - are backdated by a few months). I was pissed because xkcd, which I had until what was then recently enjoyed, had decided to steal my favorite comic of all time (and I'm sure many of your favorite as well).
Two xkcdicks are riding along on a skateboard and talking about philosophy, with a layout that completely copied Bill Watterson and C+H. Then the characters crash into Calvin and Hobbes, as though Randall is saying "Don't worry guys, it's cool, I'm allowed to make my characters just copy other more famous more beloved characters so that you'll like them more! See the trick is that I KNOW I AM DOING THIS so it's ok! What, I need to end my comic with a joke, the way Calvin and Hobbes did? FUCK NO i don't. What, you think I should draw some goddamn eyes on my characters FUCK NO i don't. You want me to write 7 strips a week FUCK NO how does three sound, almost all black and white? Yeah 7 strips is TOO HARD." But it's OK, because it's just a reference you fucktards, he doesn't have to do anything new god forbid, just stick his characters in someone else's world and wait for people to adore him as they always do.
That's piggybacking off the insane amount of work that Bill Watterson did to earn his millions of fans. That's the guy at the party who just quotes Borat and expects people to laugh. (full disclosure: I am sometimes that guy. But I sound exactly like borat when I do it so it's ok.) What that is is a guy taking a picture of Calvin pissing on something and making it into a bumper sticker. Most importantly, what that is is utter shit.
I guess I should say something about the current comic, but it's basically the same idea. Except shittier than the last, even, for a few reasons: Worse art, even more obvious shoved-down-your-throat reference, and a nonsensical plot - "you not knowing a language reminds me that our anniversary is coming!" (on that last one, I realize that it's possible she's saying that "I am sad that my options are closed off and that is what reminded me of our anniversary" but that makes it a sad relationship comic and that would be even worse.)
On a related note, I have to say that Digg has really stepped up to the plate on this one. Sure, it put the comic on the frontpage, as always, but most of the comments are pretty good. Examples here, here, and here.
And then there are those like this, which remind me that my cause here is just and we must continue our crusade against this shitty, shitty comic.
If there was ever a sign that a comic was out of ideas, this was it.

Unfortunately, your example #3 got de-Digged. The cuddlefish and sheeple of the interwebs are angered when you complain against xkcd.ReplyDelete
I liked the comment that said the comic was an effective metaphor for xkcd as a whole, though.
Also check out the reddit submission:http://www.reddit.com/r/comics/comments/7p1mm/xkcd_sledding_discussion/ Plenty of people there didn't like it either.ReplyDelete
Stickman/Randall doesn't have to learn a new language, he just has to promise to!ReplyDelete
*starts timer for the inevitable "organic foods" comic*
Sometimes I wonder if when Randall turns to (his photo of Megan)* his friends and says "man you guys I have no idea what to write for next week's comics" if they say.... "we know, Randall. Please just don't write any so you won't ruin any other classic comics."ReplyDelete

Here's a fairly funny geek comic:ReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I haven't read C&H yet. Now I understand the "stick figures go uphill. C&H go downhill" joke. I guess it's more amusing for people who did read it?ReplyDelete
I don't have anything to add on this post's page.
Next comic really made me laugh, so I can't wait to comment about it.
Positive points:
* Made me laugh.
* He did draw what actually happened, not just wrote what happened.
* What about the relative complexity of the building's facade? Nah, lets just put it in the negative points:
Negative points:
* Drawings are pretty simple and
* Randall's stick figure seems to be hovering five centimeters above ground... Obviously the signature characteristic of a python programmer.
* Yet another "Using high-tech to solve low-tech problems" joke crossed with
* yet another "I've tried it all and failed. (What about the obvious?) ... Damn!" joke.
* img's title attribute is pretty unfunny and anticlimatic. Maybe if "Sadly, this is a true story" was written with the narrator's voice in the first panel, before any other text, it'd have been better? img's title attribute with only "at least learned about say command" is alright with me.
p.s. at least hear what he has to say, Magen!

Is he not supposed to comment on other comics? Really it's not trying to copy it, only comment on C&H use of metaphors and symbolism.ReplyDelete
Really, it's just another cultural reference. One could argue that cultural references are also riding on the success of various tv shows, politicians, etc.
That being said, those two comics are making the exact same joke.

Calvin and Hobbes is fucking amazing. It has been way too long since I've read some of it.ReplyDelete
This comic was a poor substitute :(

The butthurt inherent in this post is *amazing.* I try to walk away, but then I end up coming back to marvel at it's hideous perfection a little more.ReplyDelete
What the fuck, butthurt? Are you fucking ten?ReplyDelete
And how does that insult even apply here?
Oh Cuddlefish. You're not even good at trolling. Come back when you are not a useless human being. (ie never)ReplyDelete
Arlan: Yeah, the reddit thread is good too. I really should spend more time on that site...ReplyDelete
Thomas: Oh man that reminds me that I still need to do a "why this white guy hates stuff white people like" post.
Cow: It's interesting that your list of negatives is so much longer than the positives for a comic you liked. Anyway, your lists will probably form the basis of what I write about it.
Anon: "Is he not supposed to comment on other comics? Really it's not trying to copy it, only comment on C&H use of metaphors and symbolism."
I'm ok with commenting on other comics - I mean, that's parody, that's great - but this didn't comment on it. An example of what is cool is this chainsawsuit (man I seem to link to that comic a lot, but it happens to be right for this situation...). He's commenting on a great comic, PBF, but he's doing so in a way that makes fun of it for something. This xkcd is not making fun of C+H beyond the mundane "hey guys in Calvin and Hobbes they used to have conversations while sledding." A parody of that would be if, I don't know, this conversation is happening between the two stick figures and then you see Calvin sled by and yell "stop being existential and just enjoy the ride!" or something like that.
Another way of making this point is this: You say he is commenting on C+H, what would you say the comment is?
Cuddlefish: I don't know if you are trying to insult me or compliment me. Whatever.
"Butthurt" is a word that is used by true Anonymous (i.e. /b/tards), thus revealing that this particular Fish-o'-Cuddlin' is, indeed, a denizen of the 'chans.
I am loathe to reveal how I am privy to this information, and will just say that I am not proud of some of the things I've done in the past.
I believe that it was a compliment, as /b/tards tend to appreciate things that are full of hate (hence the term "hideous perfection").
Vaguely related: I used to think "butthurt" meant "ass-raped."ReplyDelete

I am running 12.04 x64 server on ext4 disk. There are two user groups 'A' and 'B'. For a specific directory, I would like to give its all permissions to user group 'A'. Also I would like to give only 'write' permission to user group 'B'. A user of 'B' should only be allowed to write a file or create directory in the directory.
(Should not be allowed to open or read a file.)
I tried with acl as below but not worked well.
sudo setfacl -d -m g:GROUPB:-wx /mydirectory
The user of GROUPB could not entered 'mydirectory' because of permission denied error.
Does anyone know if it is possible?
Thank you!

DR Strings Marcus Miller MM6-130 Fat Beams Medium 6-String Bass Strings .130 Low B
- Gauges 30-45-65-85-105-130 Deep, fat tone Consistantly smooth feel across all strings
Marcus Miller signature Fat Beams were designed for Marcus' exacting standards. Marcus Miller is a pioneer in electric bass who has worked with Miles Davis, served as a producer for "Night Music," developed an extensive resume as a producer in L.A., and has played on more than 200 records. Marcus Miller worked with DR to develop a new and improved version of one of the best stainless round wound bass strings on the market. The effort took over a year, and the result is a "fatter, deeper, smoother" string that satisfied Marcus Miller's demanding standard. Fatter tone. Deeper sound, smoother feel and response are the qualities that separate Marcus Miller "Fat-Beams" from all other ordinary bass strings. New "Fat-Beams" are also more consistent in feel along the length of the string, as well as string to string. Gauges 30-45-65-85-105-130.

The sun sets over Kuta Beach – 1975 & 2009Posted by Martin Field on 17 September 2009 in Food and Wine, Restaurant Reviews, Wine Travel
Kuta Beach Club Hotel, Bali, 1975
Kuta has an obvious village atmosphere. Bare-chested old men in sarongs sit on platforms and groom their fighting cocks. In and around the thatched buildings, scabrous dogs, chickens and swayback pigs root around, wistful-eyed cows graze in nearby coconut groves.
Traditionally dressed women place little woven trays of flowers, rice, and incense, as offerings to the gods at shrines and strategic sites. Soldiers with guns walk around the market stalls. Hippies and Bali Boys ride motor bikes along the beach waterline.

Don't Be Next: Developing a Security Mindset Among Web Developers on Campus
Name: Ed Murphy
Affiliation: Assistant Director, University Information Technology Services at the University of Arizona
Abstract: This presentation focuses on the problem of bad computer code and how to prevent it at a university. Web application development on a university campus is done in a variety ways. Sometimes it is done with student developers, sometimes with outside vendors, sometimes with full-time staff and sometimes with a combination of resources. This presentation will review strategies for developing a security mindset when doing web development on a college or university campus. The strategies covered by the presentation include: - Education such as, developer presentations on vulnerabilities and how to use language specific libraries to eliminate vulnerabilities. - Developing secure coding standards for developers. - Changes to the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) to incorporate secure code reviews into the peer review process. - Leveraging your campus Information Security Office to make tools available to distributed developers on campus, such as IBM's Rational AppScan and QualysGuard. - Developing a recommended vendor list for departments who choose to have web applications built by off campus vendors. - Work with your Purchasing and Contracts department to incorporate SANS Application Security Procurement Language into standard contracts.
Bio: Fourteen years experience with software development, database administration and web servers in both the corporate and higher education sectors. My experience with web development covers the java, PHP and .Net (C#) platforms. Most recently I have been leading teams of software developers, both full-time staff and student staff, as well as being a secure coding proponent on campus. I have presented on securing coding practices (in general), secure PHP code development and on the value of vulnerability analysis using pentest tools (i.e., IBM's Rational AppScan). I have also been called upon to lead teams of developers in the investigation and remediation of several high-profile web site hacks on campus. Most notably I lead the team that determined the break in method and implemented the code fixes to secure the Phoenix Mars Lander's [1] mission site.
Avoiding Injection Attacks in the Drupal Framework
Name: Dave Keays
Affiliation: LA-Drupal (LADRUPAL.ORG)
Abstract: Drupal is a driving force in Open Source Web Applications and has numerous security features built in. By following a few guide-lines, all contributed code or modules can have security built in by design.
Drupal's abstraction layers provide protection against some of the most common attacks. This paper will be a look at those protections, code snippets, black-box analysis, and a set of guide-lines to develop modules for Drupal. It will serve as the first chapter in a free ebook on Drupal security.
Bio: Dave Keays is a freelance PHP developer with over one-years experience on security within Drupal. He is a member of the LADrupal Users Group (LADRUPAL.ORG) where he has given talks about secure development at the LADRUPAL Users Group and design, and has lead a discussion group on Desktop and Internet security at North Orange County Computer Club that meets at Chapman University in Orange, California.

Summer Lynn Baker, whom Canyon Courier readers will remember gave birth in a waterless Kerr Gulch cabin last September and was subsequently arrested on felony charges, failed to appear for her arraignment on Monday.
Free on a $1,000 bond, Baker contacted neither the court nor her attorney, Christi Sanders, to inform of a conflict or to change her scheduled 8:30 a.m. appearance. In response, District Judge Lily Oeffler revoked Baker's bail, issued a warrant for her arrest, and reset her bond at $2,500, cash only.

Quantum Mechanics: Wavepackets
Licensed according to this deed.
Published on
In physics, a wave packet is an envelope or packet containing an arbitrary number of wave forms. In quantum mechanics the wave packet is ascribed a special significance: it is interpreted to be a "probability wave" describing the probability that a particle or particles in a particular state will be measured to have a given position and momentum.
By applying the Schrödinger equation in quantum mechanics it is possible to deduce the time evolution of a system, similar to the process of the Hamiltonian formalism in classical mechanics. The wave packet is a mathematical solution to the Schrödinger equation. The square of the area under the wave packet solution is interpreted to be the probability density of finding the particle in a region.
In the coordinate representation of the wave (such as the Cartesian coordinate system) the position of the wave is given by the position of the packet. Moreover, the narrower the spatial wave packet, and therefore the better defined the position of the wave packet, the larger the spread in the momentum of the wave. This trade-off between spread in position and spread in momentum is one example of the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
