Soaring Storm
Soaring Storm
A shot of Eagle Lake in Alaska being shadowed by a dramatically dark and ruthless looking storm passing overhead.
Three material options: High Quality Metal, Premium Paper, or Fine Art Canvas
30x45 sizes available only in Metal Prints
Metal Prints are printed on a high gloss surface and backed with a 1/2" float mount hanger (3/4" Inset frame for larger sizes)
Paper photos are printed on metallic high gloss photo paper
Canvas prints are made with Fine Art photo paper, then printed directly onto a premium metallic canvas material and wrapped around a 1 1/2" frame (3/4" frame on smaller sizes)
Metal prints are a brilliant new and durable way of displaying images at the highest possible quality. By infusing dyes directly into aluminum metal sheets and not just over the top of the material, the photos take on a magical essence that will brighten up any home or business. The aluminum surface is extra durable, scratch resistant, and waterproof, making it easy to clean. Only clean using water; soap or solvents may ruin print. Keep out of direct sunlight as this shortens the lifespan of the print.
Paper prints are printed onto Kodak ENDURA Metallic paper for its rich colors and exceptional depth. Finally the print is finished with a lustre protective coating to preserve the prints quality and longevity. Photo paper prints come with only the photo itself and no frames or mounts, I leave it to you, the customer to decide how you would like to show off your new photo print. If you would like me to handle framing or mounting, contact me directly for a custom order.
Fine Art Canvas prints are a gorgeous way of displaying photos for any home. The metallic canvas material enhances the colors and contrast of the scene while still retaining the textured canvas look. All canvas photo prints are wrapped around the sides of the print to give the photo more depth.
Once order has been placed please allow 5-10 business days to prepare your photo and have it printed with an additional 5-10 business days for shipping depending on where you live. Larger orders and shipping to Alaska/Hawaii may increase production/shipping time, please be patient and we will get the photo to you as soon as possible.
I currently only ship to the U.S. and Canada, however if you live abroad and would still like to order a print I can setup a custom order with a special shipping quote to where ever you live, just contact me here. Buyer assumes responsibility for any taxes or tariffs placed on items purchased from this website.
Shipping for sizes 30x45" and above will have to be shipped via shipping crate. For the contiguous 48 states this usually costs around $65 but can reach up to $100 for larger sizes.
If you there is a photo or size unavailable in my print shop or if you would like to order any photo with a frame or other special request, feel free to contact me and setup a custom order.

|Anchor Bay Releases DVDO VP50PRO HDMI 1.3 Video Processor
|Monday, 13 August 2007
Bay, a leading supplier of video processing systems and video
processing semiconductors (ASICs), today announced the world's first
video processor for home theater systems to utilize HDMI 1.3
receiver/transmitter chips, the DVDO iScan VP50PRO. As the new flagship
video processor in the DVDO iScan family, the VP50PRO also offers ISF
ccc certification and new VRS(tm) Video Reference Series technologies.
The DVDO iScan VP50PRO marks the debut of three new Anchor Bay VRS(tm)
technologies, Mosquito Noise Reduction, and Fine Detail Enhancement and
Edge Enhancement, which greatly improve the quality of compressed and
low-resolution content coming from STBs, DVRs, DVD, IPTV, and other
digital media devices when viewed on high-resolution/high-definition
Like the award-winning VP50, the VP50PRO also features 10-bit Precision Deinterlacing, 10-bit Precision Video Scaling up to 1080p, PReP (Progressive Re-Processing), Progressive Cadence Detection, and RightRate VRS technologies to maximize picture quality.
The VP50PRO is the first video processor to use HDMI 1.3 receiver/transmitter chips that allow users to connect other HDMI-compliant 1.3 devices that support high-definition audio formats and Deep Color, available on some newer sources like HD-DVD, Blu-Ray, and PS3. This capability allows the VP50PRO to provide customers with years of service as new source devices with this standard start to emerge.
For added convenience, the processor's two programmable 12V triggers provide seamless control over such devices as projectors, screens, lifts, drapes, anamorphic lenses, and much more. In addition, the VP50PRO offers ISF ccc certification, which gives ISF calibrators the proper controls to provide their customers with optimal settings for daytime and nighttime viewing while maintaining picture accuracy regardless of the ambient light in the room.
A module with two SD/HD-SDI inputs will also be available for the VP50PRO, extending its capabilities to broadcast, pre/post-production, and prosumer applications.
"Having the VP50PRO at the heart of any high-definition video processing center guarantees customers a stunning, one-of-a-kind viewing experience," said Craig Soderquist, CEO at Anchor Bay. "As the world's first video processor to be HDMI 1.3 enabled, the VP50PRO offers the finest video processing image quality available today, and is creating the standard for next-generation source devices. With the addition of our exclusive mosquito noise reduction and fine detail edge enhancement technologies, customers can expect the best possible performance from their high-resolution displays."
The VP50PRO will be shipping in September 2007.

New Hampshire's Connecticut Lakes Region
Pittsburg, NH
High in the mountains of New Hampshire, you'll find the Connecticut Lakes and headwaters of the Connecticut River. Starting as just a trickle is the small town of Pittsburg, NH, the Connecticut River flows through a chain of lakes, the Connecticut Lakes, as it makes its way from the US / Canadian border in New Hampshire to Long Island Sound. Its journey of 400 miles begins at the height of land, becomes the diving border between Vermont and New Hampshire, then flows through the industrial valley of Massachusetts and into Connecticut before finding the sea.
Outdoor Recreation Destination
The Connecticut Lakes Region has been a vacation destination for years. Catering to fishing and hunting enthusiasts for more than a century, the region is a beloved destination of outdoors lovers from all over the East Coast and beyond. While you will not find shopping malls here, you will find world-class fly fishing, wildlife viewing opportunities in "Moose Alley", pristine mountain lakes for swimming, boating and paddling, miles of ATV & Quad trails, scenic vistas in every direction and more than 200 miles of groomed snowmobile trails that connect to Canada, Maine, Vermont and points south. Snow blankets the area from early December through mid-April – a snowmobiler's dream!
Moose and More
Moose outnumber the residents of the small communities of Pittsburg, Stewartstown and Colebrook, NH. Moose are often seen nightly in the summer along US Route 3 between First Connecticut Lake and Second Connecticut Lake. This section of road is known throughout New England as "Moose Alley". Moose are not the only wildlife seen in the undeveloped stretch of road. Fox, whitetail deer, and bear can be seen here. Eagles and osprey fish and hunt the river and along the shoreline of the Connecticut Lakes. Wildlife viewing opportunities are some of the best in New England along Moose Alley. In fall upland bird hunters come from all over the country to hunt ruffed grouse and woodcock.
North Woods Hospitality
The Connecticut Lakes Region offers exceptional hospitality. Lodging accommodations range from cozy, lakeside cabins, to country inns, small motels to private vacation homes. Spend a weekend or a week or two discovering all the Connecticut Lakes Region of New Hampshire has to offer. Day trip into Quebec or take a woods road to remote waterfall or shop quaint antique shops or paddle a moose meadow within a rare, virgin forest; if you love the outdoors there is much to do and see. Spend a day outdoors and then treat yourself to a delicious meal at one of the areas numerous restaurants, cafes, and pubs. From elegant gourmet to roadside diner, the choices are plentiful and the food delightful.

EEOC Office of Legal Counsel staff members wrote the following informal discussion letter in response to an inquiry from a member of the public. This letter is intended to provide an informal discussion of the noted issue and does not constitute an official opinion of the Commission.
ADA: Reasonable Accommodation
June 20, 2001
Dear :
This is in response to your letter of April 18, 2001, in which you inquired about the application of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to a situation involving an employee with a seizure disorder. (1) Your letter notes that this employee is qualified for his job. Recently, however, the employee's doctor placed several restrictions on the employee, including no driving. You note that driving is not an essential function of this employee's job, and that the employer is prepared to provide a driver for any transportation needed while on the job. Apparently, the employee has insisted on continuing to drive to and from work.
First, you ask if the employer is required to provide assistance in getting this employee to and from work. The ADA does not require an employer to provide such assistance as a form of reasonable accommodation; rather, it is the employee's responsibility to arrange how s/he will get to and from work. Nothing in the ADA, however, prevents an employer from offering an employee with a disability assistance in getting to and from work, although the individual may choose whether to accept such an offer.
Reasonable accommodation may be required to address other issues involving an employee's commute to and from work. For example, if the employer provided transportation to work for all employees, then it might have to provide reasonable accommodation to make this service accessible to a person with a disability. Also, there are certain types of reasonable accommodations that an employer might have to provide to address workplace barriers connected with commuting problems. For example, an employee who uses a wheelchair and who takes public transportation to get to work may need an adjustment to his/her working hours if transportation is limited because only some buses are accessible.
Second, you ask if the employer could require, as a condition of continued employment, that the employee follow his doctor's restriction and not drive to and from work. Generally, the Commission has discouraged employer involvement in the decisions of individuals with disabilities concerning how to treat or manage their conditions. For example, the Commission has taken the position that employers do not have a reasonable accommodation obligation to monitor whether an employee is taking prescribed medication or pursuing recommended medical treatment. (2) Reasonable accommodation is for the purpose of removing workplace barriers; whether an employee takes medication or pursues treatment is a matter of personal choice. Moreover, in addressing the question of whether an employer may require that an employee with a disability take prescribed medication, the Commission has said that if an employee's disability interferes with the ability to perform the job, then the employer may take appropriate steps to address performance or conduct problems. (3) Finally, imposing any condition of employment on an individual with a disability that is not required of other employees raises concerns about disparate treatment.
I hope this information is helpful. This letter is not an official opinion of the Commission.
Peggy R. Mastroianni
Associate Legal Counsel
1. This letter only discusses the application of the ADA to this situation. It does not discuss other potential legal considerations, including tort liability and the applicability of state laws that may restrict individuals with certain medical conditions from driving.
2. See EEOC Enforcement Guidance on Reasonable Accommodation and Undue Hardship Under the Americans with Disabilities Act at Question 36, 8 FEP Manual (BNA) 405:7601.
3. See EEOC Enforcement Guidance on the Americans with Disabilities Act and Psychiatric Disabilities at Question 32, 8 FEP Manual (BNA) 405:7478.

Another early start on the 10th as we tried to get out of Lens and head north (and across the border) to Ypres. Getting out of Lens wasn't particularly easy or pleasant…but we got there in the end and headed out into the country, which, thankfully was largely flat. We passed through some sites of famous battles: Neuve Chapelle, Aubers, Fromelles, Ploegsteert, Messines (with a most wonderful Irish memorial on top of the ridge) and Wijtschate..the nearer we got to Ypres, the more memorials and the more cemeteries we passed..a true sign of the horror of the 3 huge battles that were fought here during the Great War.
Just outside la Basee, Steve got a puncture, but thankfully it was a quick fix…my bike seemed to be doing ok and I was doing my best to nurse it through these final couple of days. However a couple of miles down the road I also got a puncture…another easy fix hopefully but it was not to be. My tyre kept going down and I kept pumping it up – I had to keep as much air in the tyre as possible to keep the pressure of the badly damaged rim (remember the lack of spokes…) It lasted until a couple of miles outside of Ypres but I got another puncture…
We walked the last couple of miles into the main town. Ypres itself is a wonderful place…it is similar to Verdun in some respects with its large walls and ramparts.. The cloth hall is one of the most impressive buildings I have ever seen, especially as it was largely destroyed by artillery fire. Walking through Ypres to the north we passed through the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing – what an amazing piece of architecture. With almost 55,000 names of soldiers who fought and died on the Ypres battlefields but do not have a know grave it is as sad as it is breathtaking.
Designed by Sir Reginald Blomfield, this memorial combines the architectural images of a classical victory arch and a mausoleum and it contains, inside and out, huge panels into which are carved the names of the 54,896 officers and men of the commonwealth forces who died in the Ypres Salient area and who have no known graves. This figure, however, does not represent all of the missing from this area. It was found that the Menin Gate, immense though it is, was not large enough to hold the names of all the missing. The names recorded on the gate's panels are those of men who died in the area between the outbreak of the war in 1914 and 15th August, 1917. The names of a further 34,984 of the missing – those who died between 16th August, 1917 and the end of the war, are recorded on carved panels at Tyne Cot Cemetery, on the slopes just below Passchendaele.
The Menin Gate is not a memorial tucked away in some remote part of the town, remembered now and then. The Menin Road is still an important thoroughfare and traffic and pedestrians pass under the gate as part of the daily life of Ypres. In this aspect alone, Remembrance is kept very much alive in Ypres, but there is more.
Every night of the year, without exception, policemen close the road to traffic at 8.00 p.m. and then stand at the salute while buglers from the Ypres Fire Brigade play "The Last Post". This happens whatever the weather and there is always someone there to watch. The people living near the Menin Gate often open their doors and stand on their doorsteps to join in this daily act of Remembrance in honour of the young and brave who came from all over the world to die in the defence of their town.
Our hotel was not in Ypres ( I couldnt get a room for lest than 200 quid – something to do with Remembrance Day!) but in Menen, which for me was great because it meant an opportunity to cycle down the infamous Menin Road via Hellfire Corner and past the Hooge Crater. We continued to walk (I had a puncture remember) as we thought the hotel wasnt too far out of Ypres, but it soon turned out it was almost 10 miles, so we stopped and tried yet again some emergency puncture repair action on my poor old wheel. To say it was a pain in the arse is a huge understatement. The design of my back wheel makes getting the tyre back on after a repair a real mission – so much so that in the course of trying to lever the tyre onto the rim caused more punctures…twice. And broke 2 plastic tyre levers. Tensions and tempers were rising but the damn wheel was not going to beat us – we finally got the wheel back on and flew down the menin road to our hotel. It was a Best Western and probably the nicest hotel we had stayed at on the trip..
Next morning (11th) we rose early and rode back down the Menin Road to Ypres. We arrived at 10am and there was already a crowd gathering at the Menin Gate. We were in good time though and made sure we got good positions. The Remembrance Ceremony was fantastic with the Last Post being played at 11am followed by a minute silence. Standing in the shadows of that great memorial, hearing the haunting tunes of the last post, and seeing the huge wreaths being laid by various dignatories of the UK and the Commenwealth was an amazing, humbling, emotional experience…we had done it. We had cycled the line and got to Ypres for Remembrance Day…
For The Fallen (Laurence Binyon)
With proud thanksgiving, a mother for her children,
England mourns for her dead across the sea.
Flesh of her flesh they were, spirit of her spirit,
Fallen in the cause of the free.
Solemn the drums thrill; Death august and royal
Sings sorrow up into immortal spheres,
There is music in the midst of desolation
And a glory that shines upon our tears.
They went with songs to the battle, they were young,
Straight of limb, true of eye, steady and aglow.
They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
They fell with their faces to the foe.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years contemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.
But where our desires are and our hopes profound,
Felt as a well-spring that is hidden from sight,
To the innermost heart of their own land they are known
As the stars are known to the Night;
As the stars that shall be bright when we are dust,
Moving in marches upon the heavenly plain;
As the stars that are starry in the time of our darkness,
To the end, to the end, they remain.

The abortion images below show some of the grim reality of abortion. Only
seeing such images of abortion can bring us to the kind of indignation
needed to sustain the sacrifices that will be necessary to finally bring an
end to this injustice.
We have been urging the mass media to show the American people what an
abortion is by showing the pictures of aborted babies. Abortion is a reality
which is so horrific that words alone can never convey its meaning.
It's especially critical to show people the images of babies aborted in the
first trimester. It is in regard to such children, who constitute 90% of
abortion victims, that the myth persists that they are not really children
at all.

In the world of online marketing, misinformation abounds–and it gets compounded exponentially by an incredibly dynamic and rapidly evolving world. In the content marketing world, there is a lot of talk about google seo in Fort Lauderdale, Florida 33336 and for good reason. The idea of content marketing is that sharing valuable information is a great way to attract an audience and to build a brand. SEO for dentists is the magic you have to work on your article, in order to make Google very likely to include your article as one of the top results whenever someone searches for that keyword. Moreover, they seem to be used by the same types of people, in the same context and referring to very similar strategies. It's up to business owners, and the marketing and search engine optimization (SEO) professionals they might hire, figure out what works and what doesn't.
What is Dentist SEO and content marketing in Fort Lauderdale?
The strategy for using analytics data to find areas of the site that, if improved, could drive additional revenue for the business. The organic search results are the "free" listings, and the higher you rank, the more traffic you can drive to your website. Your meta tags form the text that is displayed along with your link in the search results–and a more compelling description will compel more users to click on your listing instead of on others. Let's tackle the basics of SEO marketing for dentists — the core principles and key considerations you should be aware of in order to produce the most successful content marketing possible. Content marketing in Broward County consists of all marketing activities that focus on creating and sharing information. Combine that with the fact that the first 5 results in Google get 67% of all clicks, and you get an idea of why search engine optimization is so important.
How do you do SEO?
If you're new to the online marketing industry, this can all be a bit confusing. It should be part of every google seo strategy, but it's also crucial for branding. Ultimately, that statement in Florida always means there is a need to reduce budget while still maintaining growth. SEO strategy for dentists is the process of increasing traffic to your website by improving your rankings in popular search engines like Google, Bing, and Yahoo. In all the recent updates to Google's algorithm, the search giant has made it a core priority to have quality. It touches nearly everything and enhances the overall flavor of the sandwich, but on its own, it's not very appetizing. Blogging is one of the most well-known ways of content marketing. Search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing your online content so that a search engine likes to show it as a top result for searches of a certain keyword. Even if you're experienced, you might have trouble drawing a line between the two concepts.

What is an SEO strategist for dentists in Fort Lauderdale, Florida?
Prior to Google's Panda algorithm update last year, it was common to see small, one-page microsites dominating the search engine results pages (SERPs) based on the strength of their inbound link profiles. The good news is that in google seo, we are the kings and queens of "do more with less." Search engines use various algorithms and machine learning techniques to determine the relevance and quality of the results they display for any given query. Gone are the days of having thousands of super low-quality links driving up rankings; in fact, creating those links can look spammy and get your site penalized. There is no downside to optimizing your content for SEO, but in Broward County, Florida it should not be your primary consideration when you create and deliver content. Your audience will benefit from the information and will perceive you and your company as experts in a particular field.
What are the techniques of SEO in Fort Lauderdale?
If you've been plugged into the world of online marketing in the past decade, you've heard the terms "SEO" and "content marketing" used pretty frequently. 93% of online experiences begin with a search engine, 68% of which use google seo to do so. Since becoming an SEO consultant in Fort Lauderdale several years ago, I've stumbled over many of these proverbial mines, and so have the clients I've worked with. Get the most out of your SEO program with limited resources. We'll also run a comprehensive audit of your HTML tags, URL structure, site speed, internal and external links, duplicate content, and much more. Most of the things you think you know (but don't) about search-engine optimization, or SEO, may have been true a few years ago but have changed; one of the following was always a myth.

Sky News goes free
Eh? Thought Murdoch wanted to charge us all?
Sky News is now streaming its TV channel for free over its website 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Despite Rupert Murdoch's mumblings about charging for all online content, the site is free - for now at least. Murdoch said yesterday that it was time for aggregators and search engines must start paying for news content - a slight refinement on previous announcements which seemed to want to get some money out of the readers.
Back at Skynews.com a rejigged video player offers a wider choice of clips and previous shows if you're not interested in the live stream. You don't need to register or be a Sky customer but you do need to be, or at least appear to be, in the UK or the Republic of Ireland.
The player was developed in-house, we are told, and provides a higher bit-rate as well as related clips during and at the end of the clip. Top stories at the time of writing include: Man Breaks Record for Oversized Veg and Top Video:Row over Australia's Midget Cup - which seems to be about dwarf racing....
The site claims 8.5m unique, monthly visitors as well as millions of travellers at British railway stations which run the stream on billboards and half a million iPhone users who have downloaded the Sky News application. ®

Take a look at these rolling hills carpeted with foliage along the Hudson river here, north of New York City.The American south is known for its polite people and slow pace of life. Probably they move slowly because it's so hot. Southerners tend not to trust people from "up north" because they talk too fast. Here's a cemetery in Georgia where you can find graves of soldiers from the Civil War.The West Coast is sort of like another country that exists to make the east coast jealous. California is full of nothing but grizzly old miners digging for gold, a few gangster rappers, and then actors. That is to say, the West Coast functions as the imagination of the US, like a weird little brother who teases everybody then gets famous for making freaky art.The central part of the country is flat farmland all the way over to the Rocky Mountains. Up in the northwest corner you can find creative people in places like Portland and Seattle, along with awesome snowboarding and good beer. Text by Steve Smith.

How to keep motivated this winter! (this is part two of a series on staying motivated and goal setting, if you missed part one you can find it here http://betterride.net/?p=873 )
Goal Setting
"Any time some one asks me, "teach me something new", I know they are not into mastery. If you want to master anything you have to do it over and over again". Anthony Robbins
With goals we create the future in advance.
'53 Class of Yale, 3% had specific, written goals. 20 years later in 1973 when interviewed those 3% were happier, enjoyed their life more (which I know are subjective measuring) what isn't subjective though is that those 3% were wealthier than the other 97% of their class combined!
- A goal not written down is just a dream!
Whether you are a weekend mountain bike rider who just rides to get out in nature for some fresh air or a determined mountain bike racer it is tough to stay motivated to stay in shape during the off-season.
Like most mountain bikers I am not always super motivated to workout or train on cold winter days. The riding and/or mountain bike racing season seems so far away it is tough to stay motivated in the winter. The winter is a great time to assess your riding season and your goals and set new goals. Follow my season wrap up and goal setting worksheet, then do something I learned from Dan Milliman in his book Body Mind Mastery, he says, "Set your goals then put them aside and focus on being the best you can be on any given day". He goes on to explain that by focusing on goals that are often 6 month to 5 years away it takes us out of the moment and we don't enjoy our day to day life. He tells us that victory is fleeting and if we don't enjoy the journey on the way to achieving our goals what is the point.
An example of this in my own life is doing intervals (85-100% efforts for intervals 30 seconds to 6 minutes). I would often say to myself, "Gosh, I hate intervals, feeling like you are going to puke for 5 minutes, resting and repeating is miserable, but if I want to win (the World Masters/Angel Fire or what ever my goal was that season) I have to do them". As you can imagine I didn't do them as much as I should have and every time I did do them I did not enjoy them. When I won a bronze medal at the UCI Mountain Bike World Masters Championships in 1999 it was the happiest moment of my life, until the next morning. I woke up, was proud of my medal, then thought about the last 9 months and my current situation. I was in Montreal in a beat up '84 VW van with 197,000 miles on it, an exhaust leak, and three smelly mountain bikers, not sure if it would get us home, I was broke (actually a couple grand in debt to my credit cards), had no job, no place to live, all my "stuff" was in storage and had no girlfriend to come home to (and I had not had a girl friend or a date for a long time). For the 9 months leading up to the World Masters I was really focused on my goal. In those months I did my intervals, I hit the gym hard, I ate really well, went to bed early and was probably not the most fun person to be around. Going to bed early meant no dating, I was sacrificing my social life. Intervals are tiring and I looked at them as being painful, not fun, I was punishing myself. To train so hard and race the national schedule I quit my job in April (not enough time to train, recover, travel to races and work). As I assessed these months and my current situation the thrill of victory quickly faded.
Not only is the thrill of victory short lived, what happens when you come up short or don't even get the chance to go for your goal (you get injured, lose funding, change careers or set a different goal, etc.)? Now you did all that sacrificing for nothing! All those intervals and I am not even racing, what a waste. Well, if you did the best you could each day and enjoyed the journey their was no sacrifice.
A year later I went back to the World Masters set on winning and finished second in the qualifying round! Unfortunately in the final race run my chain came out of my chain retention device in the first turn and my race was over (I stopped, put the chain back on pedaled furious into the next section and the chain came off again, I coasted in to 8th or 9th place). This was one of the most disappointing moments of my life. I had the Silver Medal in the bag and with a solid run I could have easily won the Gold. When I woke up the next day I was still a little disappointed but I took stock of my life and realized it was no big deal, just a bike race. I was in the best shape of my life (which at 34 felt great!), I had a great girlfriend, a good job and a cool apartment to return to. What a difference from the year before!
Now I set my goals then focus on being the best I can be at each given task on the way there. When that task is intervals I am not doing them to win a race, I am doing them because I enjoy the challenge of pushing my body that hard and the good, exhausted, but satisfied feeling I get afterward. Knowing that I am 44, in great shape and getting stronger with every workout is a great feeling.
Dan Millman goes on to explain that if we do our best everyday we will not only enjoy our lives more we will likely exceed our goals. So look out next year, I am training hard and enjoying my life more than ever! Who thought I could still beat half the pro field at 45?!
Think of training as something that will make you a better, happier, more successful person, not as a sacrifice. The real sacrifice is spending all that time and money traveling to fun riding spots like Fruita or Moab and wishing that you had more energy and could ride more. There is nothing worse than finishing poorly in a race and thinking, "If I had just…. practiced a little more… trained a little harder…. etc. Saying "what if" is a sad way to go through life (and I have done it too many times in my life). "He just beat me because he practices/gets to ride more than I do". Yep, that probably is why he beat me. That and he wanted it more than me which is why he practiced more than me.
At 44 and even when I was younger I have never raced to win. I race to do my best and there is no bigger disappointment than letting yourself down. So whether you are training for a long mountain bike ride in Moab next spring or the biggest race or your life, train hard and have fun!

For fun, they read books on cognitive science, write novels inspired by Edgar Allen Poe, and study nuclear chemistry. They represent the top 10th of the top 1 percent on various measures of intelligence. But at The Davidson Academy they're normal kids who let off steam in karaoke club and dress up for a "Night in Venice" spring formal.
"You can basically be who you are and talk like you want to, and everybody can understand you," says Sarah MacHarg, a petite 11-year-old who is one of 123 students at this special public school.
It's a living laboratory for educating the profoundly gifted – a place where teachers constantly study the students to keep pace with their academic and emotional growth spurts; a place that raises questions about how much more talent could be harnessed if some of its approaches were incorporated more broadly in education.
No matter how smart, children need support to reach their potential, says director Colleen Harsin. "Creativity and highly academic thinking really do tend to develop and peak fairly early," she says, which means a "good start" is important.
Davidson combines middle school, high school, and college credits through courses at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR), where the school is based.
Ikya Kandula blended so well into a UNR class that when the professor asked a question that revealed her birth year, classmates gasped. "It was really awkward, but I made a lot of friends in that class," says the 16-year-old, who came to the United States from India at age 5 and radiates confidence.
Grouped by demonstrated ability, a 14-year-old may be studying precalculus with a 10-year-old and literature with a 17-year-old.
"We haven't put an upper limit on what they can learn," says cofounder Bob Davidson. He and his wife, Jan, earned their wealth through an educational software business. When they wanted to give back, they found gifted education to be a neglected niche. In 1999, they launched the Davidson Young Scholars Program, which has supported 1,900 gifted students with free consulting, educational advocacy, and networking with other gifted students. Countless families told the Davidsons they'd move anywhere for a school for profoundly gifted students, so they started the academy in 2006.
Students often find they have to stretch themselves for the first time, and it can be shocking to find others who outdo them in a subject. It's "a shaking up of that self-concept," Ms. Harsin says.
They don't do multiple choice until state standardized tests come around. And they don't do much out of textbooks. Their history teacher asks them to write papers based on primary sources. Darren Ripley, a hip math teacher, sends them to the whiteboard to build formulas. "Stack your information like it should be," he calls out. "Otherwise, what do we refer to those as? Mathematical jellyfish, just floating across the board."
Mr. Ripley emphasizes the process and language of math: "Mathematics is about mental discipline.... The answer is only worth 10 percent." He has taught Advanced Placement calculus to classes as large as 40 at Reno High School, and he was teaching at UNR when the academy recruited him. Now his class size ranges from four to 14. "I don't need to lecture to them [because] they really want a depth of understanding."
The academy has grown about 30 percent a year – because of parents like Charlene Ying and Jon Wade, who, like nearly half the students' families, moved to Reno for this one-of-a-kind school.
Even as a toddler, their son, Alex Wade, didn't relate to the freestyle play of peers. He "was like a Woody Allen in a 2-year-old body," Ms. Ying jokes. By 3, he was reading a book on anatomy. He missed the age cutoff for kindergarten in Wellesley, Mass., so they put him in a private school. "When I was in second grade, they didn't have me do math for a year.... [T]hey wanted to hold me back," says Alex, now 13. "I was kind of depressed back then." Alex also flummoxed his first-grade teacher, say his parents, because he contradicted her by insisting – correctly – that Vatican City is a country.
When Mr. Wade, an engineering professor, was offered a job in Reno, they moved to this valley of casinos and mountain views. Alex skipped third grade and entered a gifted program in the Reno public schools until he could get into Davidson in 2008. It was worth it, says Ying, an investment manager, because now Alex is "a happy, emotionally secure kid and he's got [an] intellectual challenge."
One subject Alex studies is the Basque language. (Reno has a significant population of Basque origin.) "I've never had a student go this far in Basque in two years," says his UNR instructor, Kate Camino. "He sees patterns so well that it makes sense to him – things that usually baffle all my students."
While some academy students earn their high school degrees early – Alex plans to graduate next year at 14 – the school doesn't rush them. "Critical thinking skills are what we're trying to help students develop," Harsin says. "Many can recite things off the top of their head, but how do they [channel that] into making discoveries ... so they can continue to learn throughout their lives?"
Highly gifted kids often don't get much peer support in typical schools. Here they find it to a degree that can even surprise their teachers. Carmen Garcia, the curriculum director who also teaches philosophy electives, recalls watching Ian McKeachie transform "from a concrete to an abstract thinker" during his first year at the school.
He argued respectfully with classmates from a literal standpoint, "shedding that skin and fighting like crazy to hold on to it," she says. But he had an epiphany and started to grasp the metaphorical. "That's a deeply personal cognitive change ... kind of like when your arms get too long in that adolescent stage." Ian's classmates were patient and encouraging. "I had never seen an environment where kids can be so open and help each other with these things instead of giving each other eating disorders," Ms. Garcia says.
State funding only covers a third of the $17,000 annual cost of educating each student here. The rest comes from the Davidsons and other donors. That wealth allows one full-time teacher for every 10 students, as well as part-time instructors. The state also allows the school to do just about everything differently from a typical public school. To get in, students have to show they score in the top 99.9th percentile on various intelligence or aptitude tests, and visit the school to be assessed.
The teachers, who aren't unionized, put in longer hours than is typical, conferencing about student progress and honing their craft even when students are on vacation. Teachers and administrators know the unique setting is key to what they do. But they say some aspects could be used in other settings to give advanced students more appropriate challenges, such as grouping students by ability, as long as skills are continually assessed. Schools need to hire skilled teachers who genuinely care for individual students' needs and who are willing to work long hours. And schools need to give those teachers support, such as the freedom to design their own lessons.
"Everybody should have the opportunity to get the best possible education within their ability," Garcia says.

The Hollywood Reporter's High-Priced Gambit for Page Six Boss Richard Johnson
When Richard Beckman took over the Hollywood Reporter, he promised to turn the trade rag around. One of his most dramatic moves to date: attempting to lure Page Six editor Richard Johnson to LA with a million dollar pay package.
It makes sense that Beckman, who's pledged to turn The Hollywood Reporter into the "crack" of the entertainment industry, would want to recruit a big name to the flagging title. (He's already tapped Janice Min, the former editor-in-chief of Us Weekly, to serve as the Hollywood Reporter's editorial director.) We hear Beckman—who left Condé Nast last year to run E5 Media, which controls a bunch of media trade titles like Billboard and AdWeek—was so determined to get Johnson to make the jump that he offered the hard-partying gossip veteran a pay package worth close to $1 million.
This included more than doubling his current salary, paying him a signing bonus, and paying for his move to LA.
The problem? Although Johnson was prepared to accept the job, New York Post editor-in-chief Col Allan refused to let Johnson out of the contract he renewed last year, which will keep him at the paper for another couple of years.
We emailed Johnson for comment but have yet to hear back. In the meantime, if you know more, feel free to email and fill us in.

Spots will soon be open on Utah's five Regional Advisory Councils
Your chance is here to join a council that helps decide how wildlife is managed in Utah.
Several positions will soon be open on Utah's five wildlife Regional Advisory Councils (RACs).
What the RACs do
Each RAC holds about six meetings a year to listen to proposals from the Division of Wildlife Resources about hunting, fishing and wildlife management in Utah. The RACs also take input from the public about the proposals.
After voting on which proposals each RAC prefers, the chairperson for that RAC presents its recommendations to the Utah Wildlife Board. Members of the board consider the input. Then, the board makes the final decision regarding wildlife management in Utah.
The RAC meetings usually last from three to five hours. The meetings are held in the evenings, usually on a Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday night.
Applying to serve
RAC members represent one of six interests: hunters, anglers and trappers; those who don't hunt or fish; ranchers and farmers; locally-elected public officials; federal land managing agencies; and the public-at-large.
To fill one of the upcoming vacancies, you must live in the region of the state you wish to represent. Also, no later than March 15, the following must happen:
- If you want to represent the public-at-large, you must contact a group in your community and ask them to nominate you. Examples of groups that have nominated people in the past include political groups, town councils, animal sanctuary committees and recreational groups.
- If you want to fill one of the other positions on the RAC — except for the federal land managing agency position — you must contact a conservation group or organization in your region and ask that they nominate you to serve in the vacancy you'd like to fill.
For example, if you want to fill a sportsmen vacancy, you must contact a Utah sportsmen group and ask them to nominate you for the vacancy.
Nominating groups and organizations must submit their nominations by 5 p.m. on March 15.
To learn about wildlife or conservation groups in your area, contact the nearest DWR office.
Federal land managing agencies appoint their own representatives to the RACs.
You can download a RAC nomination form online.
Nomination forms are also available at any DWR office.
For more information, call the nearest DWR office, or send an email to Staci Coons, the DWR's Wildlife Board/RAC coordinator, at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Discover Sports Internet Radio with PhilipFriedman on BlogTalkRadio
Hello fellow fisherman!!! I would like to introduce myself since I am new here and currently a "Water Swatter" but I swear I'm not a water swatter. My name is Phillip and I have lived in Escondido CA for all of my life.. But recently that has changed. Now I am a freshman in my second semester at Idaho State University. Yikes!!!! But being so far from home isn't all that bad. Reason is because it really makes me miss fishing my favorite thing ever!!!! Pretty sad because in Pocatello
Updated 01-14-2015 at 01:25 PM by Phil
Hello again, Just wanted to post an exciting day once again for me
It was the day before I left again for ISU. As you all know late December and early January was oddly cold for San Diego. On the 5th or 6th of January it started to warm up a bit, so I decided I would wait a couple of days to go fishing. It wasn't as good as I thought it would be but I had some lucky catches the day I went.
I started the day off fishing the surf as this is my favorite fishing.
Perhaps this is old hat, but as I am new to this site, be aware of the chart, found at http://www.tides4fishing.com/us/california/los-angeles
This chart shows which days of the month have the greatest difference between low and high tides--and rates them at "no fish", "one fish", "two fishes", and "three fishes". I have found time and time again that this is very meaningful information. But it's not enough, check the general weather as well,
Caught my first surf striped on a Monterey Bay beach at dawn right before low tide
Weighed 12 lbs and was 28 inches long
I used a Lamiglas x11 8 1/2 foot medium steelhead spinning rod with a
Penn Battle 2 2500 reel spooled with power pro 15 lb
I was using a saltwater fly rig on my spinning rod.
Caught 7/18/15

George Harrison: backing vocals, lead guitar, synthesiser
Available on:
Abbey Road
Anthology 3
Ringo Starr's second composition for The Beatles was written in Sardinia. On 22 August 1968 he temporarily walked out of sessions for the White Album after becoming disenchanted with the increasing tensions within the group. He took his family abroad for a boating holiday, returning to Abbey Road on 5 September.
I wrote Octopus's Garden in Sardinia. Peter Sellers had lent us his yacht and we went out for the day... I stayed out on deck with [the captain] and we talked about octopuses. He told me that they hang out in their caves and they go around the seabed finding shiny stones and tin cans and bottles to put in front of their cave like a garden. I thought this was fabulous, because at the time I just wanted to be under the sea too. A couple of tokes later with the guitar – and we had Octopus's Garden!
Octopus's Garden is Ringo's song. It's only the second song Ringo wrote, and it's lovely. Ringo gets bored playing the drums, and at home he plays a bit of piano, but he only knows about three chords. He knows about the same on guitar. I think it's a really great song, because on the surface, it just like a daft kids' song, but the lyrics are great. For me, you know, I find very deep meaning in the lyrics, which Ringo probably doesn't see, but all the thing like 'resting our head on the sea bed' and 'We'll be warm beneath the storm' which is really great, you know. Because it's like this level is a storm, and if you get sort of deep in your consciousness, it's very peaceful. So Ringo's writing his cosmic songs without noticing.
A composite version of Octopus's Garden, opening with Ringo's vocals superimposed onto the orchestral backing from Good Night, was included on 2006's Love album.
In the studio
Although The Beatles temporarily considered Octopus's Garden as Ringo's vocal spot on what would become the Let It Be album, it wasn't recorded properly until the Abbey Road sessions. On 26 April they recorded 32 takes of the rhythm track, with Starr on drums and guide vocals, McCartney on bass, and Harrison and Lennon on guitars.
The arrangement was in place early on, including the opening guitar runs played by Harrison. Take two of the song, including Ringo's guide vocal, was included on Anthology 3 in 1996.
On 29 April Starr overdubbed his lead vocals, though these were later re-recorded. The song was then left until 17 July, when McCartney added a bass part, he and Harrison contributed backing vocals, and various sound effects were added – including the sound of Starr blowing bubbles into a glass of water.
The song was completed the following day, 18 July, when Ringo finally recorded his lead vocals.

Editor's note: Jim Bell is an astronomer and planetary scientist in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University. He is president of The Planetary Society and author of "Postcards from Mars," "The Space Book" and most recently, "The Interstellar Age," due out in early 2015. The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of the author.
(CNN) -- More than 200 years ago, part of a stone tablet was discovered in Egypt that provided the first reliable way to translate ancient hieroglyphics into a modern language. The Rosetta Stone, as the tablet is called, proved to be the key to unlocking details of the rise and fall of civilizations that flourished on our planet many thousands of years ago.
More recently, a space mission bearing the name Rosetta has begun its quest of unlocking details of the rise and fall of entire planets, including the only one we know that is a safe haven for life.
The European Space Agency's Rosetta mission is a robotic spacecraft designed to get up close and personal with the nucleus of a comet. The comet is called 67P/C-G (short for Churyumov--Gerasimenko, the astrophysicists who discovered it in 1969), and it orbits the sun on a 6½ year elliptical path that takes it from just beyond the orbit of Jupiter to just outside the orbit of Earth.
But that orbit is relatively new. 67P/C-G is thought to have originated from much farther away, but one or more close passes by Jupiter altered its orbit, pushing it closer in to the Sun. Thus, 67P/C-G may very well be a piece of primordial, icy debris left over from the original formation of our solar system more than 4½ billion years ago.
It's the Rosetta mission team's job to find out if that is indeed the case, and if there is a specific connection between small, icy bodies like this one and the larger terrestrial planets that they have helped build over the course of solar system history.
Launched a decade ago, the spacecraft -- like the comet it was designed to encounter -- was sent on a long, slow, looping trajectory, passing back by Earth and even Mars for gravity assists, and flying past main belt asteroids Steins and Lutetia along the way.
In fact, the cruise to 67P/C-G was so long, and so slow, that the spacecraft was actually put into a state of robotic hibernation for nearly three years to help save money. In a great demonstration of both outstanding engineering and phenomenal patience, scientists and engineers returning to the project this past January were ecstatic when the spacecraft woke successfully from its long interplanetary slumber.
Rosetta team members, including a number of NASA-funded U.S. engineers and planetary scientists, were ecstatic again this week as their plucky little robot successfully nuzzled up to the 2½ mile wide nucleus of 67P/C-G to become the first spacecraft to go into orbit around a comet.
"Nuzzled" is an appropriate word, because with a gravity field more than 10,000 times weaker than Earth's, the pull of this tiny comet is only barely felt by the spacecraft. And not only is it tiny, but it seems to also be just plain weird!
Early Rosetta images show the comet looks like a strange, lumpy, double-lobed peanut covered by cliffs, circular ridges and smooth plains. The "neck" between the two main lobes looks almost fragile from certain angles, suggesting the comet might be about to break into two large chunks. That might perhaps not be a surprising fate, as this small icy world is steadily evaporating, jetting huge amounts of dust, water vapor and other gases into space as it basks in the warmth of the sun.
But the best is still yet to come for Rosetta. The mission's dozen science instruments have only just started to characterize the comet in detail, providing chemical, mineral and geologic clues about its origin and evolution.
In November, the team will attempt to set the oven-sized Philae lander (named after another important Egyptian hieroglyph artifact) down onto the comet to make even more precise direct measurements of the surface. It will be a daring, slow-motion adventure, shared with the world, as Philae descends and then struggles to hang on to the surface under the ultra-weak gravity.
Is this small icy body the kind of world responsible for delivering oceans' worth of water to our planet and others? Are the kinds of organic molecules that Rosetta and Philae might find there the kinds of materials that could help seed a planet like ours for life? What kinds of spectacular sights await as the spacecraft follows the comet even closer to the sun, where the surface is predicted to become even more active?
67P/C-G's planetary hieroglyphics are waiting to be deciphered, and I can't wait to find out what they say!

Dan Walters: New bill seeks to expand state's voting rights act
The U.S. Supreme Court, by a 5-4 vote, struck down a portion of the federal Voting Rights Act last year, saying its 1960s-era provisions were no longer applicable to 21st-century conditions.
The invalidated section required voting changes in nine Southern states to receive pre-clearance from the federal courts or the U.S. Justice Department, including the redrawing of legislative, congressional and local government districts. But its rigid voting history formula also was applied elsewhere, including four counties in California.
The practical effect was that any changes of election procedures in those counties, as well as any statewide redistricting plan, had to be pre-cleared – which became a political factor in the Capitol's decennial redistricting wrangle.
Those four rural counties – Kings, Merced, Monterey and Yuba – have large Latino populations.
All four also had, during the 1960s, large military installations with large contingents of nonvoting personnel, and it's been well proven that those two factors created an arithmetic anomaly that subjected the four to the Voting Rights Act's provisions while exempting other counties.
The oversight continued for decades – even after Latino voting rates increased and even after two bases, Castle Air Force Base in Merced and Fort Ord in Monterey, had closed. It took years, but Merced finally was granted an exemption and a few communities within Yuba County, home to Beale AFB, were as well.
The highly controversial Supreme Court decision ends that oversight and so far, efforts to restore the invalidated provision in Congress have failed.
However, state Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Los Angeles, wants to expand the California Voting Rights Act, enacted 13 years ago, to insert judges into drawing city council, county supervisor and other local voting districts.
Latino rights groups have employed California's law to challenge the "at large" election of local government officials, without individual districts, contending that the system effectively disenfranchises non-white communities. In response, local officials have been drawing districts for their councils and boards.
Padilla's Senate Bill 1365, if enacted, would allow courts to intervene in drawing a local district if it "impairs the ability of a protected class to elect candidates of its choice or its ability to influence the outcome of an election."
The bill is a priority for the Legislature's Latino Caucus, and its backers contend it would be a check on racial gerrymandering. It could also enhance Padilla's campaign for secretary of state.
At the very least, however, it would complicate the already fractious and highly politicized redistricting of large cities and counties, such as the perpetual angst over crafting five supervisorial districts in Los Angeles County.

Leafing through The Cake Mix Doctor Returns (have you entered the giveaway, by the way?), the first recipe to catch my eye was for Houdini Bars. What's a Houdini bar? Named for the magician because because they're "so rich and delicious that they disappear quickly," these dense bars are comprised of a cakey crust filled with a buttery, cheesecake-y filling with nuts and coconut. Heaven on a plate? Yes indeed: they taste like birthday cake, cheesecake, and coconut cream pie--simultaneously--in every beautiful bite. If you love decadent desserts, these ones will disappear fast.
(P.S. If you love the pot holders shown above, they're from Rustbelt Fiberwerks!)
Houdini Bars
adapted from The Cake Mix Doctor Returns
Recipe says that it makes 30, but we only got 12 (gluttons)
- 1 package (18.25 oz) plain yellow cake mix
- 1 stick butter, melted
- 3 large eggs
- 1 package (8 oz) cream cheese, at room temperature (recipe calls for reduced-fat; I used full-fat)
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 cups confectioners' sugar, sifted
- 1/2 cup sweetened flaked coconut
- 1/2 cup walnuts (original recipe called for pecans; either way, the nuts are optional)
- Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350F. Set aside a generously greased 9x13-inch pan.
- Place the cake mix, butter, and one egg in a large mixing bowl and beat on low speed with an electric mixer until the ingredients are incorporated, about 1 minute. Press the batter into the bottom and partially up the sides of the baking pan (I used my hands) and set the pan aside.
- Place the cream cheese in the same mixing bowl and beat with an electric mixer on low speed until fluffy, 30 seconds. Add the remaining 2 eggs and the vanilla and the confectioners' sugar and beat on low speed until smooth and combined, about 1 minute. Fold in the coconut; pour mixture over the crust and smooth the top with a spatula. Scatter the nuts, if you've chosen to use them.
- Bake the bars until the edges are well browned and the center is firm to the touch, about 40 to 50 minutes. Transfer the baking pan to a wire rack and let cool for 30 minutes before cutting and serving (do not score the bars while still hot!)
These bars keep in the fridge for up to five days. If they last that long.

Computer science
(Redirected from Computer scientist)Jump to navigation Jump to search
Computer science or computing science (abbreviated CS) is the study of the theoretical foundations of information and computation and of practical techniques for their implementation and application in computer systems. Computer scientists invent algorithmic processes that create, describe, and transform information and formulate suitable abstractions to model complex systems.
- Quotes are arranged alphabetically by author
A - F[edit]
- [Computer science] is not really about computers -- and it's not about computers in the same sense that physics is not really about particle accelerators, and biology is not about microscopes and Petri dishes...and geometry isn't really about using surveying instruments. Now the reason that we think computer science is about computers is pretty much the same reason that the Egyptians thought geometry was about surveying instruments: when some field is just getting started and you don't really understand it very well, it's very easy to confuse the essence of what you're doing with the tools that you use."
- Hal Abelson (1986) Introduction of video of lectures on the Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (source).
- Software engineering is the part of computer science which is too difficult for the computer scientist.
- Friedrich Bauer, "Software Engineering." Information Processing: Proceedings of the IFIP Congress 1971, Ljubljana, Yugoslavia, August 23-28, 1971.
- Computer science... differs from physics in that it is not actually a science. It does not study natural objects. Neither is it, as you might think, mathematics; although it does use mathematical reasoning pretty extensively. Rather, computer science is like engineering; it is all about getting something to do something, rather than just dealing with abstractions, as in the pre-Smith geology.
- Richard Feynman, Feynman Lectures on Computation, 1970
- [Computers] are developing so rapidly that even computer scientists cannot keep up with them. It must be bewildering to most mathematicians and engineers... In spite of the diversity of the applications, the methods of attacking the difficult problems with computers show a great unity, and the name of Computer Sciences is being attached to the discipline as it emerges. It must be understood, however, that this is still a young field whose structure is still nebulous. The student will find a great many more problems than answers.
- George Forsythe (1961) "Engineering students must learn both computing and mathematics". J. Eng. Educ. 52 (1961), p. 177. as cited in (Knuth, 1972) According to Donald Knuth in this quote Forsythe coined the term "computer science".
G - L[edit]
- Interviewer: Is studying computer science the best way to prepare to be a programmer? Bill Gates: No. the best way to prepare is to write programs, and to study great programs that other people have written. In my case, I went to the garbage cans at the Computer Science Center and I fished out listings of their operating system. You got to be willing to read other people's code, then write your own, then have other people review your code. You've got to want to be in this incredible feedback loop where you get the world-class people to tell you what you're doing wrong.
- Bill Gates cited in: "Programmers at Work: Interviews With 19 Programmers Who Shaped the Computer Industry", Tempus, by Susan Lammers (Editor)
- The purpose of computing is insight, not numbers.
- Richard Hamming (1962) Numerical Methods for Scientists and Engineers. Preface
- The only generally agreed upon definition of mathematics is "Mathematics is what mathematician's do." which is followed by "Mathematicians are people who do mathematics." What is true about defining mathematics is also true about many other fields: there is often no clear, sharp definition of the field.
In the face of this difficulty [of defining "computer science"] many people, including myself at times, feel that we should ignore the discussion and get on with doing it. But as George Forsythe points out so well in a recent article*, it does matter what people in Washington D.C. think computer science is. According to him, they tend to feel that it is a part of applied mathematics and therefore turn to the mathematicians for advice in the granting of funds. And it is not greatly different elsewhere; in both industry and the universities you can often still see traces of where computing first started, whether in electrical engineering, physics, mathematics, or even business. Evidently the picture which people have of a subject can significantly affect its subsequent development. Therefore, although we cannot hope to settle the question definitively, we need frequently to examine and to air our views on what our subject is and should become.

- Without real experience in using the computer to get useful results the computer science major is apt to know all about the marvelous tool except how to use it. Such a person is a mere technician, skilled in manipulating the tool but with little sense of how and when to use it for its basic purposes.
- Richard Hamming, 1968 Turing Award lecture, Journal of the ACM 16 (1), January 1969, p. 6
- Indeed, one of my major complaints about the computer field is that whereas Newton could say, "If I have seen a little farther than others, it is because I have stood on the shoulders of giants," I am forced to say, "Today we stand on each other's feet." Perhaps the central problem we face in all of computer science is how we are to get to the situation where we build on top of the work of others rather than redoing so much of it in a trivially different way. Science is supposed to be cumulative, not almost endless duplication of the same kind of things.
- Richard Hamming, 1968 Turing Award lecture, Journal of the ACM 16 (1), January 1969, p. 7
- I can't be as confident about computer science as I can about biology. Biology easily has 500 years of exciting problems to work on. It's at that level.
- Donald Knuth (1993) Computer Literacy Bookshops Interview
M - R[edit]
- Computer science is an empirical discipline. [...] Each new machine that is built is an experiment. Actually constructing the machine poses a question to nature; and we listen for the answer by observing the machine in operation and analyzing it by all analytical and measurement means available. Each new program that is built is an experiment. It poses a question to nature, and its behavior offers clues to an answer.

- Computer science research is different from these more traditional disciplines. Philosophically it differs from the physical sciences because it seeks not to discover, explain, or exploit the natural world, but instead to study the properties of machines of human creation. In this it is analogous to mathematics, and indeed the "science" part of computer science is, for the most part mathematical in spirit. But an inevitable aspect of computer science is the creation of computer programs: objects that, though intangible, are subject to commercial exchange.
- Dennis Ritchie (1984) Reflections on Software Research.
S - Z[edit]
- During the last years of the 1950s, the terminology in the field of computing was discussed in the Communications of the ACM, and a number of terms for the practitioners of the field of computing were suggested: turingineer, turologist, flowcharts-man, applied meta-mathematician, applied epistemologist, comptologist, hypologist, and computologist. The corresponding names of the discipline were, for instance, comptology, hypology, and computology. Later Peter Naur suggested the terms datalogy, datamatics, and datamaton for the names of the field, its practitioners, and the machine, and recently George McKee suggested the term computics. None of these terms stuck...

- Michael R. Fellows (1991) "Computer SCIENCE and Mathematics in the Elementary Schools", see also (comments by Ian Parberry. Parberry explains that Mike Fellows and Dijkstra had met in 1991 or 1992 at the University of Victoria and that "According to Mike, the quote in question was a rallying cry in that period."
- "What would we like our children- the general public of the future—to learn about computer science in schools? We need to do away with the myth that computer science is about computers. Computer science is no more about computers than astronomy is about telescopes, biology is about microscopes or chemistry is about beakers and test tubes.

Paul Walker crash detailed in coroner's report
The coroner report Friday shows a horrific scene and injuries of the Nov. 30 crash which killed "Fast and Furious" star Paul Walker.
Paul Walker was traveling more than 100 miles per hour when the Porsche Carrera GT in which he was a passenger spun out of control and crashed on Nov. 30, according to a report by the Los Angeles County Coroner released on Friday.
The Santa Clarita, Calif., crash killed the Fast & Furious actor and the car's driver, Walker's friend and business partner Roger Rodas.
The coroner report states that neither Rodas, 38, nor Walker, 40, had alcohol, cocaine, marijuana or other impairing drugs in their system.
The report notes that the driver, Rodas, was traveling at an "unsafe speed" and lost control of the car "for unknown reasons."
After the crash into a tree and a lamp post "the vehicle was almost split in half…the majority of the vehicle was also charred" in the powerful fire that followed.
The autopsy report concluded that the cause of the death was the "effect of traumatic and thermal injuries." It was ruled "an accident" by Lawrence Nguyen, deputy medical examiner.
The injuries to Walker in the passenger seat were horrific, as only remnants of the outfit he was wearing following a charity function he hosted were intact -- a black t-shirt, black jeans and grey boxer shorts. Walker was found "charred' and in a defensive "pugilistic stance."
The traumatic injuries included a fractured left mandible and left clavicle, multiple rib and pelvic fractures and a non-displaced spinal fracture.
Burns on Rodas' body covered 100 percent "of total body surface."
The crash occurred after Rodas and Walker took the Porsche for a drive following a fundraising event for Walker's Reach Out Worldwide charity.
Universal halted production of the mega franchise Fast & Furious halfway through filming the seventh edition with Walker in his usual starring role.
The film production was halted indefinitely and the release was delayed a year until April 10, 2015.

U.S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission
Teenager and Other Female Employees Subjected to Sexual Comments and Touching, Federal Agency Charged
WILMINGTON , N.C. – SKMATCH, Inc., which operates several Subway sandwich shops in and around Wilmington, N.C., violated federal law by subjecting a teenaged female worker and a class of similarly situated female employees to a sexually hostile work environment, the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) charged in a lawsuit filed today.
According to the EEOC's complaint, from around December 2008 through May 7, 2009, the male assistant manager at the Subway store where Helena Miller worked subjected her to repeated sexual comments, sexual propositions and name calling, and sexual touching. At the time of the sexual harassment, Miller was only 18 years old, and the assistant manager who harassed her was ten years older than her. Miller complained to other managers about the sexual harassment, the EEOC said, but no action was taken in response to her complaints. The harassment was so intolerable that Miller was forced to quit her job in order to avoid being harassed.
The EEOC's complaint also alleges that other female employees were victims of sexual harassment by the same assistant manager.
Sex discrimination violates Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The EEOC filed suit (Equal Employment Opportunity Commission v. Skmatch Inc., d/b/a Subway, Civ. No. 7:10-cv-00187) in U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, Southern Division, after first attempting to reach a voluntary settlement. In its suit, the EEOC seeks back pay for Miller, as well as compensatory and punitive damages for Miller and the other victims of harassment, and injunctive relief.
"Employers must take prompt action in response to a sexual harassment complaint," said Lynette A. Barnes, regional attorney for the EEOC's Charlotte District Office. "Companies should have in place a policy that prohibits sexual harassment, as well as a procedure for victims and witnesses to report it, and for the employer to promptly respond and rectify it. The policy should be widely distributed so that employees are aware of these procedures and can report harassment without fear of reprisal. Discrimination in any form will not be tolerated by the EEOC.
The EEOC enforces federal laws prohibiting employment discrimination. Further information about the EEOC is available on the agency's web site at www.eeoc.gov.

Catharina and Lijsbeth Somerhuys (d. 1571)
Catharina and Lijsbeth Somerhuys, Anabaptist martyrs, seized by the Spaniards in the Dutch town of Deventer, 11 March 1571, with 10 other Mennonites. These two women, both unmarried, were the daughters of Albert Somerhuys, the registrar of Deventer. They were put in prison in the Noordenbergertoren together with the others and had a very severe and cruel imprisonment. Some of the 12 Mennonites recanted, but only for a short time, and all died for their faith. But Catharina and Lijsbeth never recanted. When the Catholic priest visited them in prison, Catharina disputed frankly with him; the priest tried to demonstrate the truth of the Roman Catholic faith from the Old Testament, but Catharina answered that she preferred the New Testament and showed him from the New Testament that his assertions were dull and unscriptural. Both women were sentenced to death. Leaving the prison they sang the song, "Mijn Godt, waer sal ick henen gaen" (My God, whither shall I go). They were taken to the stakes, but after a short time they were returned to the prison. Ydse Gaukes, who was one of their group, mentions in his first letter (Martyrs Mirror) that Catharina was cruelly tortured together with two other women and two men. She had to wait some weeks before the hour of their execution struck. On 16 June 1571 both were burned at the stake at the Brink (a market place). Van Braght relates that at the moment of the execution of these six martyrs a miracle occurred: a crashing noise was heard, like thunder, and the spectators were thrown to the earth. Albert Somerhuys, the father of Catharina and Lijsbeth, was arrested soon after the execution and condemned to life imprisonment, but soon he died in prison, obviously by poison administered to him by a Catholic priest.

Q: how many gms (or oz.) in a cake of yeast?
I am contemplating making a sweet bun recipe that was taken from the Culinary Arts Institute Encyclopedic Cookbook 1970 edition (I believe it was published in the USA?). It calls for "a cake of yeast".
I've searched around the internet trying to find out just how much a "cake of yeast" weighs. Most sites I've found agree and say that a cake of yeast weighs .6 oz; one says it weighs .06 oz (!) and another says it weighs 1 oz.
This would mean an equivalent of either 3tsp, 1/3tsp, or 3.4 tsp active dry yeast. Rather a large difference, I'd sya...
I'm guessing that
.06oz .6oz is the right one but which is it, please?
-Elizabeth, in Toronto Canada where compressed yeast is not the easiest thing to find; one local deli sells cakes of yeast in 50 and 100gm pieces.
P.S. DON'T get me started on the use of loose measurement terms "packets", "packages", "cakes", "some", "dollop" ...
(edited to fix typo)
