Home of Fairfield's 'First-in-Flight' contender razed despite preservation drive
As glum aviation buffs looked on, the house built by the man who may have been the first to fly was demolished Monday morning to make way for a new home.
The appearance of a power shovel and dump trucks from AA Building Wrecking of Fairfield culminated a frantic three-week effort to save the home. Supporters of this effort maintain that the house was built nearly 100 years ago, and thus should have been given a 60-day reprieve from demolition. This would have given them time to find a place to relocate the bungalow and to raise the funds needed to move and restore it as a historical artifact.
They couldn't prove, however, that it was, in fact, 100 years old -- the age necessary to meet the town's requirement for the 60-day delay. By all accounts, it missed that specification by only a few months.
"They really should have been a little more flexible with the 100-year requirement," said Jim Salace, who was one of several Whitehead supporters on Alvin Street Monday morning as the house was being taken down. "I mean, after all, he was the first man to fly an airplane."
On Friday, Fairfield First Selectman Michael Tetreau issued a lengthy news release in which he said that he had no choice but to let the demolition proceed.
"This home has been thoroughly researched in an attempt to preserve it," Tetreau said. "We know that the Alvin Street property ... was purchased by the Whiteheads on May 27, 1914. The developer filed his permit application on April 10, 2014. Because the difference between these two dates is less than 100 years, the house does not qualify for the additional 60-day delay in demolition."
Susan Brinchman, whose father, William O'Dwyer, wrote the book "History by Contract," called Tetreau statement "complete baloney."
She said that if the town of Fairfield "didn't have the wherewithal" to save the home, the state of Connecticut should have stepped in.
"Fairfield's leadership has missed the boat on this one and listened to very poor advice," Brinchman said. "I am completely disgusted."
Brinchman was especially irked by Tetreau's statement: "These components (saved from the demolition) can be used when constructing a replica to help in honoring this historic man."
To which Brinchman quipped, "Who would visit a replica house when you could have the real thing? Ridiculous."
Her father's book, "History by Contract," detailed the agreement between the Smithsonian Institution and the survivors of William and Orville Wright in which the Wright Flyer would remain in the possession of the Smithsonian only as long as it's labeled as the first heavier-than-air aircraft to get off the ground. That flight took place near Kitty Hawk, N.C., on Dec. 17, 1903.
Dwyer's book and other research has Whitehead flying in his Condor airship in the early hours of Aug. 14, 1901, nearly two-and-a-half years earlier. And there have been doubts raised in recent years about whether the Wrights actually achieved "controlled flight" in 1903.
The huge Caterpillar 320-L hydraulic excavator taking down the small bungalow daintily removed the more historically significant bits and pieces of the house; these could become part of one or more memorials to Whitehead.
"They're going to store parts of the house at the town garage," said Tom Keiser, who was supervising the demolition crew. Town dump trucks were on the scene to cart away this historic material.
The home is in the Tunxis Hill part of town, just up the hill from Super Stop & Shop on Villa Avenue. At the dawn of the 20th century, Whitehead may have staged flight experiments near what is now the parking lot of that supermarket, which sits at the corner of Tunxis Hill Road.
"He may have flown from the cliff where the Nutmeg bowling alley is today," Salace said.
Earlier Monday, Salace was at Town Hall in a last-ditch attempt to save the home. He wanted to present Tetreau with a petition signed by nearly 200 people asking that the house be saved. But the first selectman was out on official business, Salace said, so he left the petition with his office staff.
Meanwhile, Andy Kosch, of the Connecticut Air & Space Center in Stratford, said that with permission of the developer of the Alvin Street property, Gary Tenk of Stratford, he removed the bungalow's porch railing.
Kosch built a full-size copy of the Whitehead flyer in 1986. The model was towed aloft by a car with Academy Award-winning actor Cliff Robertson at the controls. The craft later flew on its own, too, powered by an ultralight aircraft engine.
"The railing and other parts could be used as an exhibit when we open up the historic Curtiss Hangar at Sikorsky Airport," he said. "There should be enough there to build exhibits in Fairfield, Bridgeport and Stratford."
He said an old wooden tool box was found in the cellar, and he hopes an investigation of the yard might yield some metal bits and pieces of the aircraft.
"If there is anything of value there, I'm sure Mr. Tenk will let us have it." Kosch said.
In March 2013, the bible of flying machines, "Jane's All the World's Aircraft," officially endorsed Whitehead as the first man to build and fly a powered heavier-than-air aircraft, beating the Wright Brothers into the sky by more than two years.

The Associated Press June 14, 2010, 1:33PM ET text size: TT
By EMMA VANDORE
VILLEPINTE, France
Chinese tanks and other military equipment were on show Monday for the first time at the Eurosatory defense trade fair outside Paris, as state-owned Chinese companies seek to tap new markets.
Six Chinese companies -- including China North Industries Corp., or Norinco, and Poly Technologies Inc. -- were among the 1,331 exhibitors at the air and land defense and homeland security show north of the French capital.
"China is trying to make inroads into the international defense market," said Peter Felstead, editor of Jane's Defence Weekly. "As a country, their technology is developing beyond simply copying Russian systems, which is what they used to do."
On the Norinco stand, models of armored vehicles, multiple-launch rocket systems and howitzer artillery were on display. The state-owned company claims on its website to have "demonstrated the solid strength of Chinese national defense industry and technology" in precision strike systems, amphibious assault weapons and equipment, and other products.
Despite an environment of shrinking defense budgets, the 2010 edition of Eurosatory, which started Monday and runs through June 18, has 10 percent more exhibitors than at the last show in 2008, displaying the latest technology in night vision, unmanned drones and armored vehicles.
It also is a showcase for the capabilities of the French army and French arms industry, which Defense Minister Herve Morin said in a speech is the fourth largest defense exporter in the world.
The show comes at a time when governments globally are seeking to tame rampant deficits, swollen by the global financial crisis.
Morin said his department will have to share in the budget cutting, but the extent is subject to ongoing discussions at the top levels of government.
In this time of austerity, France's priority will be to give priority to equipment needed by countries reducing military personnel and cooperating with allies to spread costs, Morin said.
He also said France is considering buying an off-the-shelf U.S.-made drone to save money.
On the Chinese stands, vendors were hopeful.
"We need orders," said Cai Xiaomei, a deputy manager at China Xinxing Import & Export Corp., a state-owned maker of military supplies such as bullet-proof jackets and helmets. "We hope through this fair to know many big businessmen."
She said roughly 70 percent of the company's $130 million annual turnover comes from exports, many of which are worn by forces in Africa.
The military and police supplies catalogs of Poly Technologies Inc., a state-owned maker of defense systems, products, technologies and services, show mainly African models for its uniforms.
China is seeking to penetrate the market "in Africa, both in terms of selling defense equipment and getting hold of mineral resources," said Felstead.
"They can undercut competitors" on uniforms, helmets and boots.
This is the blog of China defense, where professional analysts and serious defense enthusiasts share findings on a rising military power.

Lady Bucs and Tigers to meet for the first time since 2000
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 29, 2012) – The ETSU women's basketball team will square off with Memphis for the first time in 12 years on Friday inside the ETSU/MSHA Athletic Center at 7 p.m.
ETSU (0-2) will be looking to avoid back-to-back 0-3 starts for the first time in program history. The Lady Bucs are already off to a second consecutive 0-2 start for the first time since the 2002-03 and 2003-04 campaigns. Despite those numbers, ETSU has been led by the great numbers put up by Destiny Mitchell (Bluffton, Ga.), who is averaging 20.5 points. Mitchell put up 26 points in the season opening loss at High Point, and most recently put in a 15-point effort in the loss to Chattanooga. She also leads the Atlantic Sun Conference in points per game, as well as field goal percentage (58.6 percent), free throw percentage (87.5 percent) and steals (3.5 per game). Mitchell also ranks third in the league in offensive rebounds, averaging 4.0 per game.
Just behind Mitchell in terms of points through the early going is newcomer Brianna McQueen (Jonesboro, Ga.). In two games, McQueen is averaging double figures at 11.0 points, which includes an 18-point performance in her first ever collegiate game at High Point. McQueen also averages 4.5 rebounds.
Redshirt sophomore Serena Clark (Tucker, Ga.) enters Friday as ETSU's leading rebounder, averaging 5.5 boards after grabbing six against the Lady Mocs. Clark is also among the A-Sun's top five in offensive rebounds, averaging 3.5 per contest.
Scouting the Tigers
Memphis (3-2) is coming off its first home loss of the season, falling to Prairie View A&M, 70-58, on Sunday. The Tigers dropped just one game at Elma Roane Fieldhouse all of last year, losing to Southern Miss, 62-54, in early February. Prior to the A&M loss, Memphis had defeated Texas-Arlington and Illinois State on the road. The Illinois State game was part of the Preseason WNIT, where Memphis also defeated Grambling State and lost to MTSU.
Nicole Dickson leads the way for the Tigers, averaging 22.0 points through the first five games. The 2009 graduate of Greeneville High School is 42-of-85 (49.4 percent) from the field, and has 14 makes on 33 attempts (42.4 percent) from long distance this season. The 6-foot senior is also the team's leading rebounder, averaging 7.2 boards per contest.
ETSU's Last Outing
The Lady Bucs last stepped onto the playing court a little less than two weeks ago at Chattanooga, and were handed their worst defeat in nearly a year, 81-48. After scoring the first basket of the game, ETSU witnessed the Lady Mocs go on a 21-4 run to trail by 15 at the 11:29 mark. UTC extended the lead to as much as 24 in the opening frame, and ultimately took a 22-point cushion into break – ETSU's worst halftime deficit since Feb. 4, 2010 when it trailed FGCU by 27.
The momentum didn't change into the second half, as the Lady Mocs continued their hot shooting and took a 35-point lead with just over six minutes remaining. Meghan Downes led the charge, scoring a game-high 24 points on 8-of-11 shooting, including 4-of-5 from beyond the arc. Chattanooga shot 46.6 percent on the night, including an impressive 11-of-22 clip from three-point range, and held ETSU to just 29.9 percent from the field (20-67) while forcing 20 Lady Buc turnovers.
Through all of that, Mitchell was still a bright spot for ETSU. The junior guard scored a team-high 15 points (6-14 FG) and grabbed a game-high seven rebounds.
Series History
The statewide rivalry dates back to the 1975-76 season, but has not been played since November of 2000 when Memphis dropped the Lady Bucs, 90-48, in the Memphis Thanksgiving Classic. ETSU trails the all-time series 2-8, but won the last meeting in Johnson City, 73-72, over 30 years ago in the 1981-82 season.
Live video of Friday night's contest will be available for free on ASun.TV, and live audio can be found on ETSUBucs.com or by listening to 640-WXSM, The Xtreme Sports Monster, on your AM radio. Live stats will be provided through Stat Broadcast on ETSUBucs.com.
- ETSU and Memphis are meeting for the first time since Nov. 24, 2000, when the Tigers beat the Lady Bucs, 90-48, at the Memphis Thanksgiving Classic.
- The Lady Bucs are 0-2 for the second year in a row. The last time ETSU began two consecutive seasons with two losses was the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons. ETSU has never started two consecutive seasons 0-3.
- Destiny Mitchell leads the A-Sun in scoring at 20.5 points per game, field goal percentage (58.6 percent), free throw percentage (87.5 percent) and steals (3.5 per game). Mitchell also ranks No. 3 in offensive rebounds at 4.0 per game.
- Serena Clark ranks No. 4 in the A-Sun in offensive rebounds (3.5 per game), and No. 3 in blocks (1.0 per game).

It has been a tricky question among gamers in Korea. Well... they both have weak and strong, but I think it depends on games you play. I think RTS( Real Time Strategy - like Starcraft ) or FPS (First Person Shooting) fits much better in computer while RPG (Role Playing Game) and Actiong games are much enjoyable in console. Because most of the computer games use mouse you can make some detail control with keyboard. I have console and computer But I play both What do you think? Computer or Console?_________________hi Back to top freestylersJoined: 17 Apr 2003Posts: 5 Posted: Sun Jun 01, 2003 5:40 am Post subject: I like Console better hello there.

I wanna have PS cause' many Great title comes out on this platform. I wish i had one too I like console better cause i like rpg rather than RTS or something like that.

BAKER � The Crestview Rotary Club�s Corn Maze offers North Okaloosa residents plenty of fall fun as they try to navigate the 18,000-foot path.
BAKER � The Crestview Rotary Club�s Corn Maze offers North Okaloosa residents plenty of fall fun as they try to navigate the 18,000-foot path.
See photos from the corn maze visit>>
However, the 7-acre puzzle on Buck Ward Road offers some educational lessons, too.
"(Teachers) use this as a learning experience," Rotarian Pat Dingess said. "They show them the corn and how it grows."
Schools are encouraged to bus students to Baker so they can venture through the maze, take a hayride, interact with horses and possibly fire a corn cannon.
"We have had (a school) here every Tuesday so far," Dingess said, adding that eight schools have visited the site.
Special needs children from Silver Sands School in Fort Walton Beach visited on Tuesday.
Getting students outside the classroom can help them develop their social skills, teacher Robin Chapman said.
Keylen Bogan, 13, said he was lost in the maze, but said he had fun trying to elude his teacher.
CORN MAZE AND HAUNTED TRAIL: Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays and Oct. 28-31, 5899 Buck Ward Road, Baker. Fridays: Haunted Trail, dusk to 11 p.m. Saturdays: Corn Maze, 10-6 p.m. and Haunted Trail, dusk to 11 p.m. Sundays: Corn Maze, 12 to 6 p.m. Last four nights: Corn Maze and Haunted Trail, dusk to 11 p.m. Cost: $8.50 for maze, $16 for trail.

What's trending in homes this year? Our crystal ball readers reveal all.
House design
The shift from traditional to more modern, urban design will continue to accelerate. "Cleaner lines, big open spaces" are the order of the day, according to Shawn Bellman, director of marketing at Rich-craft Homes. In keeping with that trend, the company - which has not abandoned its traditional lines - recently launched new executive towns with a strongly modern, urban sensibility; it will also introduce a new, modern elevation option in its singles this year.
That's all in line with the National Kitchen and Bath Association rankings published in 2012. For the first time, the ratings found the more modern transitional style, which includes some traditional elements, had finally outstripped purely traditional kitchen design in popularity.
Last year, Tartan Homes, anticipating a growing demand for multi-generational housing, introduced floor plans such as the Port Huron, featuring a main-floor guest suite with an insulated noise wall, walk-in closet and bathroom. Being on the main floor, it's ideal for an aging parent. Tartan's Kawartha model has a study that can be transformed into an optional guest suite.
Meanwhile Kevin O'Shea, Ottawa operations manager for Monarch Homes, says in an email that many buyers are requesting upgrades to hardwood in second-floor bedrooms and quartz countertops in the kitchen.
Speaking of kitchens, Bellman says those islands just keep getting bigger as they become gathering spots for family and friends.
However, he says islands are vanishing from some smaller condos in Toronto, replaced by - gasp! - dining room tables. He's not sure if Richcraft will do that here when it launches three new condo projects this year.
Kitchens, bathrooms and basements will continue to lead the renovation hit parade in 2013.
John Liptak of Ottawa's OakWood Renovation Experts is seeing a shift from colonial and traditional style toward modern European finishes. OakWood will introduce a line of kitchen and bath cabinetry in 2013 that includes clean, furniture-style design.
CMHC's third-quarter Housing Market Outlook forecast 2012 renovation spending in Ontario would exceed $24 billion. However, it predicted a slowdown in 2013 in part because households typically renovate in the first year of ownership and house sales in the province are expected to moderate in the coming months.
In 2011, Ottawa homeowners spent an average of $12,853 on renovations.
Creaking joints
When it comes to housing designed for an aging population (bungalows with wider doorways for wheelchair access, for example), don't expect an upsurge this year. Although the latest Canadian census figures show a rapidly aging population, home builders are conservative and won't start building large numbers of aging-friendly homes until they get a clear signal from the marketplace.
The United States may be ahead of us on this one. Universal design such as wider doorways and halls is a growing influence in that country, according to Sharon Dworkin Bell, senior vice-president for Multifamily and 50+ Housing at the National Association of Home Builders.
"Whenever builders are just climbing out of a bad economic period like the one we've had, they often rethink what they're doing."
However, she says building for an aging demographic will still be an incremental process.
The great outdoors
Ottawa landscape architect John Szczepaniak says to look for evermore stylish and comfortable outdoor furniture as we continue to blur the line between indoor and outdoor living.
He says natural materials such as Erosan (limestone sandblasted to bring out its veining when wet) are becoming a key element of outdoor decor. Ornamental grasses and plants with coloured foliage, like sedums and coral bells, continue to be favourites.
Smart homes get smarter
Our fascination with all things electronic will continue this year.
Lowes, for example, recently introduced Nest, an easily installed programmable thermostat that "learns" what temperatures you like and creates a heating/cooling schedule around those preferences. At $249, it also connects to Wi-Fi for remote control.
New on the Canadian market: VideoCare (videocare.com). Roughly $100 a month, the service provides touchscreen video connectivity especially suited to elderly people who have difficulty with a mouse or keyboard. It allows easy contact with family, caregivers and others.
Colour, light and pythons
Emerald is the colour of 2013, according to the Pantone Color Institute, which establishes colour standards for home, fashion and other industries. Associated with renewal and the environment, emerald is turning up in paints, wall coverings and fabrics.
Ottawa interior designer Francine Bingham says she's also seeing warmer colours such as turquoise-shaded teal and greeny yellows starting to accent the grey tones that have been so popular in recent years.
That's counter-intuitive, since happier colours don't usually trend when the economy is hurting.
"Maybe it's a sign of good things to come," she says. Either that or we're just in denial about the state of the world.
A recent issue of House Beautiful says brass ornaments and grass cloth wallpaper will take off this year.
As well, the publication is big on filtered daylight (think filmy window treatments) because diffused light warms space and softens hard edges - not a bad thing if you see your home as a bulwark against harsh reality.
Look also for decor trends inspired by fashions that graced the autumn 2012 runway. That means everything from houndstooth-styled wallpaper by York Wallcoverings to animal skin-inspired designs including, from the Pearson furniture company, a small drinks table covered in Italian leather with a python design. It sells for $1,725.
What's in store for 2013

Any good source to get unique bacteria by pure culturing for
I need some pure culture of bacteria to perform all experiments like staining, growth rate measurement, biochemical tests for activities etc.... throughout the year.So I want to isolate some unique type of bacteria.It is better if they have more features like endospore production etc..so that I can get results for all the experiments.They should be growing fast.I should be able to maintain them easily without the help of fridge or incubator.It is better if I know what result I have to get after doing test before doing it.So anyone please suggest me any good source, some characters of the colonies of bacteria.(and also name of that bacteria if possible)

Tommy Willis must be smiling. Tommy was a cotton, corn and soybean farmer from Brownsville, Tenn., who served as national president of the American Agriculture Movement Inc. from 1983 until 1985. (He died in 1992.)
Those who followed the AAM know the group's key word was "parity" or bringing commodity prices or loan rates into line with the price targets in the Agriculture Adjustment Act of 1938 and the Agriculture Act of 1949.
Born in the late 1970s protests that saw farmers driving tractors up Washington's Pennsylvania Avenue, the AAM tried for years to persuade Congress to set loan rates as a percentage of parity, a formula that gives a unit of a commodity the same purchasing power it had in 1910-1914.
They never succeeded, primarily because economists argued setting loan rates at 70 percent of parity (which the AAM favored and would raise the cotton loan rate from 52 cents to 92 cents today) would price most U.S. commodities out of world markets.
That's why Tommy Willis would have found the comments by House Agriculture Committee Chairman Collin Peterson ironic. If the White House continued to threaten a veto of the 2008 farm bill, Peterson, D-Minn., said, he might let farm programs revert to permanent law (1938 and 1949 acts.
(Since the 1940s, the agriculture committees have made new farm bills amendments to the 1938 law to provide leverage in case the White House or Congress balked at enacting new legislation.)
This time, higher loan rates would not be problematic, Peterson says, because market prices are high for every crop except cotton. The wheat loan rate, for example, would be set at $8.32 per bushel or about 60 cents below Chicago July futures.
Peterson said Acting Agriculture Secretary Chuck Conner thinks he's bluffing. "Absent a bill and an extension, we don't need to do anything to have permanent law," he noted. "That would be easier than having to do something."
Conner's repeated bashing of the farm bill's "raising taxes and being fiscally irresponsible" is clearly getting on Peterson's nerves. Conner and USDA undersecretaries have gone all over telling anyone who listens Congress passed a bad farm bill.
"What gets me is we passed the war supplemental without pay-as-you go, we pass the Alternative Minimum Tax legislation without pay-go and now, apparently, we'll spend $150 billion on a so-called economic stimulus package without pay-go," he said.
"Yet they want to undermine agriculture, the one part of the economy doing well by getting in a dispute over $10 billion. Meanwhile, we've added $300 billion to the deficit because of the War in Iraq in recent months. That makes no sense to me."
Years ago, then House Ag Committee Chairman Kika de la Garza, a favorite of the AAM, would criticize the administration for spending $10 billion on a submarine that would be obsolete in five years and never feed anybody.
Tommy Willis would say some things never change.

When Ideas Are Easy And Execution Is Hard... It Makes Sense To Share Your Ideas
from the be-open,-be-good dept
An interesting parallel to this debate is the discussion we had last year about noncompetes. What the research there has shown is that a big part of the reason for Silicon Valley's success is the fact that noncompete agreements are unenforceable in California. What happened, then, was much more job-hopping, and a much faster dispersion not just of ideas, but of problem solving and innovation across the industry. In AnnaLee Saxenian's book that kicked off this debate, she noted that Silicon Valley culture was such that many engineers here spent plenty of time discussing their biggest challenges with direct competitors, just to get better ideas -- believing that solving the big problems would work out better in the end for everyone, and that holding back ideas didn't solve anything. Amusingly, in that case, Burnham's partner at Union Square Ventures, Fred Wilson, took the other side: favoring noncompetes (though, I get the feeling Wilson's changing his mind as the evidence has been presented).
This also, by the way, goes completely against the theory (chiefly propagated by supporters of a stronger patent system) that without patents, the world would devolve into an innovation-free zone where trade secrecy ruled. That seems unlikely to happen, based on exactly what Burnham and others have noticed. Keeping an idea secret not only is unlikely to be effective, it can often stifle the necessary development. Thus, it will be the companies that are more open and free with their ideas that dominate the market. The key reason why, of course, goes back to what we talked about at the beginning. Ideas are certainly important, but it's execution that's the key to success -- and being more free in sharing your ideas will often help you execute better.
Burnham also asks about whether or not it's possible to "model" this openness -- and I think it is. In fact, in many ways it matches the infinite goods economic model we've been discussing, with the ideas representing the infinite goods, and the execution being the main scarcity. So, in the same way that freeing up music helps expand the opportunities for every other area of the music business, opening up your idea is likely to open up many huge new opportunities for the entrepreneur in how to execute successfully. If you really want to model it mathematically, you could probably build something based on the economic models that made Paul Romer famous (and should eventually net him a Nobel prize), but that might be overkill for what Burnham is looking for. However, if you're familiar with Romer's work, applying it to this scenario should make you see how much more powerful sharing ideas can be vs. keeping them secret. It's not just a small edge -- it can be a huge difference. I've been working on a few simpler models myself that I'm hoping to share (openly and freely!) soon enough, in the hopes that others can improve on them.

|Attention: DocWiki has reached EOL and will be decommissioned January 25, 2019.
Troubleshooting the Cisco Configuration Engine Services
From DocWiki
To troubleshoot Cisco Configuration Engine Services services, see the following sections:
Cisco Configuration Engine Not Working Properly
Problem: The Cisco Configuration Engine is not working properly.
Possible Cause: This can occur if any of the processes fails.
Solution: Use the Cisco Configuration Engine (CE) Monitor feature to check the status of the processes. The CE Monitor checks the status of a set of processes at a configured time interval and reports the status in the /var/log/CNSCE/ce_monitor/ce_monitor.log file. The CE Monitor exits if any of the processes fails.
To check the status of the processes, follow these steps:
1. Check the status of CE Monitor to determine whether the service is up or down:
* For Linux, enter: /etc/rc.d/init.d/MonitorCE status * For Solaris, enter: /etc/init.d/MonitorCE status
2. Check the /var/log/CNSCE/ce_monitor/ce_monitor.log file to identify which process is down.
3. If a particular process is down, check the process to determine the problem.
XML Request Sent but No Response Received
Problem: An XML request was sent, but you did not get a response.
Solution: To resolve this problem, do the following in any order:
- To monitor events on the bus, use the cns-listen utility.
- For Intelligent Modular Gateway (IMGW) devices, do the following:
* Set the IMGW logging level to verbose.
- Check the following log files under the /var/log/CNSCE/imgw directory:
IMGW-LOG-<hostname> (log file for the IMGW runtime) IMGW-DEVMOD-LOG (log file for debugging the IMGW script)
- For agent-enabled devices, configure cns debug on the router.

Chicago Fire midfielder Patrick Nyarko is lending his support to an Indiegogo campaign for the construction of a community sports facility in Keta, Ghana to help improve and develop soccer in Ghana.
"When I grew up, I played barefoot on gravel, and at the end of the game we would have cuts and bruises all over. But we would come back the next day and play again," said Nyarko. "That's what we had to deal with and we were never going to stop playing because it hurt us. We did not have access to soccer fields to help develop your game and take it to the next level."
Through the help of Sandlanders Football, a not-for-profit organization establishing community-owned soccer teams throughout Africa, and the Keta Municipality, the plan is to build a 6.5 acre Soccerhub in Keta to grow the sport of soccer in Ghana and to give the community a central location to host community events and showcase the local industry in Keta.
Nyarko, a native of Kumasi, joined the project because he believes it will contribute to the development of the children of the area, not just in terms of their soccer skills but also in terms of their character. Additionally, the facility will provide local children a safe haven in the community.
"When this opportunity presented itself, I did not hesitate and wanted to help contribute and help the youth back home," said Nyarko. "This place will not only give them a place to play soccer, but also a place to go to after school to hang out with friends and stay out of trouble. The last couple of World Cups, we have seen the tremendous amount of talent back in Ghana and to help the youth develop that way through the construction of soccer fields and facilities, it will only help them become great players and hopefully future role models in the community."
To support the Keta Soccerhub, go to www.GoKeta.com to find out ways to contribute.

- 1 Publish/Subscribe Notification for Fedora Infrastructure
- 1.1 Authors
- 1.2 Abstract
- 1.3 Definitions
- 1.4 Physical Layout
- 1.5 Fedora AMQP Standards
Publish/Subscribe Notification for Fedora Infrastructure
NOTE: Portions of this document are being reworked to integrate the QMF framework
John (J5) Palmieri
This proposal outlines the publish/subscribe infrastructure for notification within the Fedora Infrastructure pieces using the AMQP protocol and MRG Messaging services. Where possible library interaction will be described as a generic publish/subscribe layer over the complexities of AMQP. Since the AMQP protocol does not describe higher level interactions such as naming conventions, this document will attempt to solidify best practices when dealing with parts of the spec which are left up to the developer.
- client - any application publishing or consuming messages through AMQP
- publisher - any client sending messages in AMQP
- subscriber - any client consuming messages in AMQP
- router - a simplification of the AMQP exchange/binding/queue concept. A router routes and relays messages to their intended recipient. Intermediate routers can be used to relay messages to specific security domains. For instance bodhi and koji wouldn't send messages directly to subscribers, they would send messages to only routers they trust such as the fedora community router. In turn applications running in fedora community would trust the FComm router is sending them messages from koji and bodhi and not some other source. A similar router can be run for desktop apps which would require individual FAS tokens to be able to monitor resource usage.
- address - internet URI for connecting to routers
- domain - identifier for specific publishers, e.g. koji would identify itself as the org.fedoraproject.koji domain
- signal - identifier for the message being sent, e.g. koji would send build_started, build_finished signals
- routing key - how AMQP routes messages in the publisher/subscriber model. We overload this key with a standard format to completely describe where the message should go and how it should be processed.
- payload - data in json format sent with the signal
- callback - a function that is called in response to an incoming message
Physical Layout
Because we need to be able to control access in order to not overload our servers/bandwidth and to provide security the AMQP routers need to be split into different security domains, each with their own access rules and purpose.
Fedora Infrastructure AMQP Router
This is the service that all Fedora Infrastructure applications publish notifications through. It is internal and only allows internal services publish and subscribe on it. It can do this through several methods including, an ip/domain white list, shared secrets (aka passwords), certificates and physical isolation from external networks. Everything published on this router will be trusted by the downstream routers as being correct. Downstream routers will not be able to publish, only subscribe to messages on this router.
Fedora Community AMQP Router
This router listens to messages from the Fedora Infrastructure Router (as well as any other notification sources such as upstream) and translates the message to JSON. It then sends this message over an Orbit socket to any Fedora Community web app subscribed. Browser domain security ensures that only apps coming from the Fedora Community server can create a connection. This router is internal and relies on an Orbit bridge to communicate with external browsers. Applications are not yet allowed to publish messages to Fedora Community (they have to use the normal REST interfaces) though it might be interesting to see if we can export the REST interfaces over this bridge.
FAS User AMQP Router
This router listens to messages from the Fedora Infrastructure Router (as well as any other notification sources such as upstream) and allows external applications to become AMQP clients. This is an external router and is locked down via FAS user and group authentication. This allows fine grained control over access. For instance if someone is abusing the connection and taking up huge amounts of bandwith we can turn off their access in FAS. Uses include native applications which notify users when events happen. Things like notification icons and bubbles can for instance tell a user that their build is done without them having to load up a web page. We can eventually open this up to trusted external entities so that they can route Fedora messages to their users without taking up too much of our bandwidth (e.g. OLPC/Sugar Labs would provide notifications to their users instead of everyone subscribing to the Fedora Servers).
Other Routers
Other routers can be setup to spider the notifications for load balancing or setting up different security profiles. For instance we may want to have a router for new and third party Fedora Infrastructure pieces where their interfaces may change significantly and in general can not be trusted as much as the established infrastructure pieces. As the piece becomes more stable it can be moved to the main Infrastructure router.
Fedora AMQP Standards
Since we are using the publish/subscribe routing for notification naming becomes important for avoiding name clashes. All message routing keys will be use this naming standard:
A domain identifies a service. All domains must be unique and application should not trample on other applications domains. This is mostly avoided by the physical setup and can be locked down using different authentication tokens for each service, (or we can just implicitly trust internal services to be configured correctly and not trample on other's name spaces). All domains originating from Fedora Infrastructure should be prefixed with org.fedoraproject and end with their service name and any optional sub domains. For example:
In the above example koji is the service name and builds is the sub domain. It should be noted that subdomains are optional and are only included for services which may want to organize their functionality. In the future we may use subdomains to restrict which signals routers and clients can connect to.
Signals can not contain any period characters. They come in at the end of the domain and are used by the client to route to the correct callback handler. For example:
In the above example koji is sending the successful_build signal.
Since we want to leave most of the AMQP complexity to a library and bring more standardization for our particular use case, here is a conceptual API for subscribing to a signal:
router = messsaging_connect("fcomm.messaging.fedoraproject.org", security_token) result = router.subscribe("org.fedoraproject.koji", "successful_build", process_successful_build, "failed_build", process_failed_build)
As you notice we first connect to the router we are interested in and provide a security token (could be user/pass or a session_id, etc.). We then subscribe to the domain org.fedoraproject.koji.
In AMQP Publish/Subscribe terms we would be binding a queue to the routing_key org.fedoraproject.koji.# (# being a wild card). When the topic org.fedoraproject.koji.successful_build comes over the wire our API will process it and route the payload to the process_successful_build callback.
Again we want to remove most of the complexity from the API and make it easy to publish standard formatted signals. Here is a conceptual API for publishing a signal:
router = messsaging_connect("fcomm.messaging.fedoraproject.org", security_token) domain = router.request_domain("org.fedoraproject.koji") msg = domain.create_signal("successful_build", payload) msg.publish()
Here we connect to the router with our security token again. We then request a domain. If the domain is taken or we are not authorized to send signals an error will occur. Then whenever we wish to send a signal we use that domain and send the signal with the payload.
The payload should be a serialized JSON string similar to what is returned when requesting a particular record using REST or XML-RPC. The subscribe API should automatically deserialize the payload in the binding's preferred format. The only piece of data absolutely required is a unique primary key which can be used to obtain the record using the REST/XML-RPC API's and also identify the difference between a state change and a new record. We should use this opportunity standardize on using the identifier primary_uid for this purpose (we don't use id/uid to avoid clashing with already existing usage).
Further Routing Options
Sometimes we don't want to listen to all signals from a particular domain. For instance if I am just looking to be notified of builds I started or builds on a particular package. AMQP allows us to route based on arbitrary header key value pairs as well as the payload content. The API should allow services to enter key/value pairs for future use. For instance:
key_value_headers = {"built_by": "johnp"} msg.update_headers(key_value_headers) msg.publish()
This would give us the option to use the fast key/value queuing or write a json router down the road. Right now domains are sufficient for routing but it is easy enough to have the services adding these key/value pairs so that we get used to using them and they are there when we need them. I don't recommend writing a json router since the extra deserialization required could lead to lazy code causing performance issues but it does have the advantage of anything we send being able to be used for routing without duplicating it in the headers.

Speedway cuts number of seats at Indy 500, but fans unlikely to notice much difference
INDIANAPOLIS – The Indianapolis 500 this year will have its smallest seating capacity since 2000, but don't expect to find fewer fans on race day.
The Indianapolis Motor Speedway has removed thousands of grandstand seats overlooking Turn 3 and several rows of seats on the front straightaway. The changes follow the demolition of a bleacher section inside Turn 1 five years ago to extend the track's road course.
The Indianapolis Star reports (http://indy.st/104giFR ) the changes have cut the number of seats by 11,600, to 235,000.
Speedway officials say the changes will improve fans' experience. Spokesman Doug Boles notes that the seats along the front straightaway had limited visibility.
An estimated 250,000 people are still expected to attend the May 26 race.

JHaswell had een nieuw webpagina ontwerp nodig en lanceerde daarom een wedstrijd op 99designs.
Een winnaar werd gekozen uit19 ontwerpen ingezonden door8 freelance designers.
simraceway.com is an online racing environment in which you can race other users for cash prizes (as high as $7,500) using over 800 cars and tracks - Think Gran Turismo 5 meets Partypoker.com.
The racing environment uses a high fidelity physics engine to provide a race experience closer to simulation, than video gaming. This means the key difference between us and traditional driving games ( gran turismo, Forza, Need for speed etc) is that we spend our bandwidth and processing power budget on physics accuracy, not visual flair.
The target audience is aspirational 20-40 yr old competitive males who have an interest motor racing or video gaming.
this page will act as the users primary interface to manage their installed racing games and game related assets. The key assets it needs to manage are;
It's possible for users to have multiple game clients installed just as it is in a steam account see http://store.steampowered.com/.
For each game installed the section will need to show game name, icon, date purchased, original file (in case of re download need) and serial code.
This section will show the cars the user has downloaded and currently has installed. For each car they have installed the following data needs to be displayed - car name, creator of the car (which may be us, a publisher or even another user), date created, option to reinstall or deinstall. star rating of the car and miles the user has raced in it.
This section needs to show the same data as for cars.
Skins are different paint jobs for cars, which users can download and apply to their cars, see examples here;
In this section all the users skins need to be visible. NOTE : please note that you, as the designer, have discretion to make this either a distinct section or part of the cars section (as all skins link to cars)
"Apple Genius" style recommendations window
We'd like a window somewhere in the page that allows us to fire recommendations and related content to the user based on the car, track, game or skin they are currently viewing. For instance if viewing a car we may display a new car also created by that publisher. This element needs to be persistent through the experience.
see this link if you are unfamiliar with itunes recommeds feature
The design should match the basic style you see in the current site - http://www.simraceway.com but also take note of the designs that scored 4stars or more in our previous competition here;
Also please note we are big fans of the apple itunes interface and think this is a great starting point for this design. Bascally this translated to the simraceway look and feel would work well. However please note we will not be deploying coverflow.
Feel free to ping us any questions and we'll respond promptly.
If you need screenshots of any sort, depending on your design, feel to use them from the page that already exists, or new ones from this location:

A Day To Remember (Part 2)
By SKSN Jeremy Henthorne
This is the third in a three part series from SN Henthorne detailing his experiences during the Somali rescue operation last June.
A report comes in from our boarding team that it is a boat full of starving men, women, and children. None of them were armed and they looked like they had been out there for at least two or three days with no food or water. At this point the situation is being assessed and it was determined that this was a boat of people trying to flee Somalia and head to anywhere but where they came from. Very few of them spoke English and our boarding team members were trying to find out any information they could about these people. Our supply officer gave the order to break out food and water and prepare it to be sent to the ship immediately. As the boarding team came back for food and water they reported that there were at least two dead and five or so sick. The decision was then made to drop the food and water off and bring the sick to our ship for care. Then the Officer of the Deck stood down my watch.
Now that I have seen what is really going on, I couldn't just go back to enjoying my Sunday; this couldn't be more than a thirty foot boat packed with seventy men, women, and children. None were in the best of health and all were starving and thirsty. While some of the others from my watch went below to help cook dinner, I decided to stay behind and offer my further assistance. They asked for some volunteers to help use the special open topped litter to rescue personnel from the water. There had to have been at least fifteen of us on the line to pull up the cage from the water line. At the same time we were manning up the medical team and those Sailors who were trained to help during time of medical emergencies. A triage tent was being set up on the forecastle. It was erected and pads were laid out to keep anyone who may lay on it from laying directly on the non-skid surface. Medical supplies and water as well as blankets were all brought up for the sick that were being transported over.
We were then given the order to pull on the line to bring the first of the sick Somalis onboard. As we slowly heaved in, it felt like there was a three hundred pound man on the end of the line. When we finally got the first man onboard we saw for the first time just how small these men were. As we pulled the second on board it was a lot easier as they found that the first one had the rope chafing on the side of the ship. As we pulled each of the remaining sick onboard we would all look in amazement as we felt there was no one in the baskets. These poor men were all so thin, barely conscious, and had shallow breathing. Our Corpsmen onboard and the extra hands trained to be able to help all assessed each of the sick and noted the symptoms and problems they each had.
I went below to eat. I still felt this gut feeling that I needed to help even if I could only help indirectly. So when I finished my dinner I headed back up to the forecastle to see what I could do. When I got up there I asked where I could help out. At that time there wasn't much anyone other than the medics and boarding team could really do to actively assist. So I relieved one of my shipmates who had been on communications this whole time and hadn't had the chance to eat. When he came back to get on communications again I asked if there was anyone else on the bridge who hadn't had a relief to go eat. So I went up to the pilot house to relieve the man on watch up there so he could eat. Meanwhile, the corpsmen were on the forecastle working hard to keep these poor men alive.
When I was relieved of my watch for the evening I decided that there had to be something I could do to help. When I arrived on the forecastle there was only about fifteen other people up there as opposed to the thirty or forty earlier. We all did what we could to help assist the medics with everything from grabbing plastic bags and rubber gloves to getting water for the sick men. This was the first time that I had been this close to them and could really see what they looked like. The first two men looked a lot healthier than when they first came on board. It was so nice to see them lying there so peacefully. For these men this was probably the first real night's sleep they had been able to get in a few days at least. There were two others in the middle who were both very much awake. I will never forget the sounds I heard that night. As I sat down to just take in the whole situation I saw before me. The man closest to me, who had been doing so well and moving around and talking with everyone, was now so sick. The sounds that he made would make your spine shiver. I felt so bad for this man, he was in so much pain and you could see it in his eyes. His body was so tense you could see each individual muscle through the skin. The man next to him was laying staring straight up into the top of the canopy looking with a distant stare. I went over and held his hand as he was laying there in pain. He turned and looked at me as we sat there for five minutes but it felt longer. We just looked at each other, no words were needed I knew he was just thankful to have someone by his side at this time.

Most often, George is off by himself; but when he joins in, the others are very good about including him. Emma and the older boy have become great friends and are very evenly matched in humor, energy, and silliness. The five year old is almost always along, but is suffering from having his big brother's attention pulled away by this new long-haired interloper. His reaction is to get in Emma's face and bug, taunt, and pick at her until she is screaming with frustration and goes inside. Usually, within a half hour, they're all back outside again, having fun until the next whirlwind fight.
Yesterday, hearing a louder-than-usual screaming match, I headed outside. The boys had already left and a sobbing Emma was pushing bikes into the garage. We sat on the steps to talk and she filled me in. As the usual jealousy led to the usual arguments, Emma must have yelled to the older brother something about how she hated his younger brother. The usually diplomatic big brother leaped to the defense of his sibling and both boys began yelling at her about her "stupid" brother who was "worthless" and "doesn't know how to do anything".
But I kept calm and we talked about how that felt and how much we love George. We talked about his strengths and how much he's grown over the last year. And what a good sister she is to him. Then Daddy came home from the store and was filled in.
And the daddy rage erupted.
But I calmed him down and we decided to wait a day before going over to our neighbor's house to
Luckily, today we were able to think more rationally and realize that this wasn't necessarily an attack on George. Our knee-jerk reaction as special needs parents is to protect first, think later. But in this case, it was just a normal kid fight that had escalated to the "your brother's dumber than my brother" level. We spoke to the father today and he agreed, but also took some time to talk to his sons about Autism (which he had also done when we first moved in).
Half an hour later, it was back to driveway races as usual. With all kids equally involved. Hearing George call, "Come on, guys, follow me!" and watching the others chase after him did our hearts good. It was a normal summer afternoon. Normal in a way we're still getting used to.

Michigan Masters in Interior Design Programs
Potential Benefits of Earning a Masters in Interior Design
Many colleges, universities and interior design schools offer Masters in Interior Design programs where students learn design concepts and aspects of interior spaces as well as methods to understand the unprecedented challenges in the industry. Contemporary interior designers have to stay abreast of sustainable design practices, new developments in technology and find innovative ways to address social changes and new client needs.
Some programs are considered post-professional degrees, and are intended for students currently holding a Bachelor's degree in interior design. Other programs are geared to students who hold a bachelor's degree in an unrelated field. Prospective students may be required to submit a portfolio.
There are masters programs that focus on embellishing an existing space as well more architecturally-oriented programs focus on spatial design. Potential concentrations in the field include residential interiors, sustainable design, or healthcare interiors.
Accreditation and Licensure For Interior Design Schools and Professionals
Students may want to verify whether the National Association of Schools of Art and Design accredit the Interior Design Masters Program, or Interior Design schools they are considering. If the program fulfills the education requirement it will qualify graduates to sit for the National Council of Interior Design Qualification (NCIDQ) professional licensing exam.
Licensure requirements for interior design professionals vary by state. In some states, only licensed designers may do interior design work, while in other states, both licensed and unlicensed designers may do this work; however, only licensed designers may use the title "interior designer." In still other states, both licensed and unlicensed designers may call themselves
interior designers and do interior design work.
FUN FACT: About 1 in 4 interior designers were self-employed in 2014[i]
Which Masters Degree in Interior Design is Right For You?
Whether you are looking for a Master of Arts, Master of Science or an MFA in Interior Design, GradSchools.com has helpful search tools to find accredited masters programs.

It's been many days now since Afra Zamorodian announced his new monograph 'Topology and Computing'. Now that I finally got a chance to read an excerpt, I am encouraged ! Finally, I am hoping that there is a way to understand Betti numbers without needing an entire year's worth of study :).
Great job, Afra ! Topology is an area that has many intriguing connections with geometry and algorithms in general (Kneser's conjecture, the Kahn-Saks-Sturtevant partial resolution of the evasiveness conjecture), and we need books that can bridge the gap. Another "geometric' text is the wonderful book by Matousek on the Borsuk-Ulam theorem, and a more 'combinatoric' text in this regard is the survey 'Topological Methods' by Björner in the Handbook of Combinatorics.

Megaupload Helped DOJ In NinjaVideo Prosecution; And DOJ Uses That Against Megaupload
from the outrageous dept
"Megaupload complied with the warrant and cooperated with the government's request," Rothken said. He said Megaupload had gotten "a number of such warrant and subpoena type requests a year and still have an expectation that as classic 'online service providers' they are immune from liability for the acts of users who are the target of such warrants and subpoenas."But, as the unsealed warrants show, the DOJ later used those same files as evidence that Megaupload "knew" there were infringing files on its servers, leaving out the bit about how they had requested Megaupload not delete them. That seems like yet more fairly egregious behavior by the DOJ in a case that's chock full of it. Once again, I'm left wondering how the DOJ could do so many questionable things in their pursuit of Dotcom. It really looks like they bought Hollywood's mythic story about Dotcom hook, line and sinker, and believed that once they took him down, the case would simply fall into place.
Rothken calls the government's argument "outrageous." Given the NinjaVideo search warrant, and the government's specific request for secrecy and to retain the files, Megaupload might have been accused of evidence-spoliation if it had taken the movies down, says Rothken.Back when the Megaupload indictment and arrests first came down, I had a conversation with a couple of lawyers who insisted that, given the claims in the indictment, the DOJ must have had really strong evidence against Megaupload. But pretty much every discovery since then has suggested that they only had strong evidence in their minds...
"If anything, such a cooperation request by the government bolstered Megaupload's view that as a cloud storage intermediary it was operating lawfully even if some users may have been misbehaving," Rothken said.
