Panel deportment and demeanor
Speaking to the subject of the panel is, after all, what they as panelists are there to do. But it's not really just that simple, is it. Panelists are there to engage in a collective communication-- with fellow panelists, and with the audience (even when the audience isn't speaking). When you start to think about it, it's a difficult form of communication to describe. Unless, of course, you think of each panelist as present in isolation from all the others, relating singly to the audience. But what sort of experience would that be for the audience? Three or four or five different speakers, performing intermittently, like university lecturers taking turns addressing a class of students? That's not my idea of a panel.
Presuming that's not a correct description of what a panel is, let's ask ourselves just what the appropriate description for the kind of communication that panelists should be engaging in is. Andrea Hairston, in her second comment to the post, used the word "conversation." When I'm moderating a panel, I definitely think of the discussion as a conversation-- among panelists, and between the audience and the entire panel. The character of a panel discussion is significantly different when audience participation is allowed or encouraged early in the panel rather than late. (I've moderated both kinds of panels, and both are legitimate, since verbal participation by the audience, while usually desirable, is not always necessary for creating a worthwhile experience for all.) Since Readercon panels last for only 50 minutes (as opposed to WisCon's eighty minutes), it's not surprising that quite a few panels at Readercon don't allow the audience into the conversation until very near the end (if at all). This is always fine with me, as an audience member, if the panelists have interesting things to say and are engaging in genuine conversation (rather than holding forth to the audience without bothering to engage with one another).
Did you catch that I just used the expression "holding forth"? I'm sure that just about everyone reading this post will know what I mean. The problem with seeing one's purpose on a panel as primarily that of speaking--"sharing" insights or regurgitating something recently read that relates to the subject--is that it turns panelists into lecturers. Speaking for myself, I've often found that the thinking, reading, and note-taking I've done in preparation for a panel may often have nothing to do with what the other panelists are talking about. So what does a responsible panelist do? Wait one's turn and hold forth? Many do. But that's not my idea of participating in a discussion. Even when I'm the moderator of the panel, I try to take my cue from the other panelists--and sometimes the audience-- and am prepared, when necessary, to abandon my preparation and go with the flow. (I.e., as a moderator or leader of a panel, my priority is to foster and organize as best I can an engaged discussion, a priority above that of setting an agenda for the discussion. I do, of course, start out setting an agenda, particularly when it's a panel I've proposed myself, but I'm always prepared to abandon it when I can see its either unintelligible or uninteresting to the other panelists.)
There are some problems, though, in thinking of panel discussion as conversation. A panel discussion can actually become too casual and informal, encouraging certain types of people to blather on uninhibited in ways that in a more informal setting could easily be headed off by the speaker's interlocutors. Informality can encourage a loss of consciousness that you're demanding attention from a large group of people who have no way of using the usual gambits interlocutors can use in conversations involving less than, say, six people. Informality can also contribute to panelists ignoring the cues of the moderator. Even worse, I've seen panelists actually lose it when stopped mid-flow--completely oblivious to the fact that the tangent they've gone off on may not be of interest to anyone else in the room. When there's an audience, cutting off someone whose gone on and on and on can be fraught, even if everyone else in the room is just waiting for that person to stop.
Would it be unreasonable to suggest that people ought not to agree to be on a panel unless at least one or two of the other panelists are people they're interested in hearing talk and interested in engaging with? It might well be that mere interest in and knowledgeability about the topic are not sufficient reasons for being on a panel. (They are obviously necessary reasons.) Perhaps all of us who participate in programming need to have the sense, going into a panel, that we're interested in hearing what the other panelists (or most of the other panelists) will have to say.
I strikes me that when serving on a panel we need to start from an attitude of respect for the panelists (and audience--which is something good writers will presumably already have, since you can't really be a good writer without presuming your readers are smart and perceptive), and a desire to hear what they're going to say, and of course the hope that the other panelists will be as interested in engaging with what you have to say as you are with what they have to say.
Does that sound utopian? I don't really think it is, since I've seen the difference these attitudes can make to panels I've been on. (The Imagining Radical Democracy panel at the last WisCon was a perfect example of that. I found it an electrifying experience. And I was not alone in that.) I feel pretty confident that much of the insensitive behavior of panelists at cons is a result of a particular panelist coming into the panel with a predetermined lack of interest in what the other panelists might have to say and regarding all the time on the panel when they're not talking as wasted, boring moments to be waited out.
WisCon-- and probably many other cons as well-- offers guidelines (and even a little course) on effective moderation of panels. Everyone considers panel behavior to be obvious. I wonder. Perhaps we ought to have a primer for prospective panelists. Not just on etiquette (though that would be a start, particularly in educating the clueless about what their relationship to the moderator ought to be), but also on purpose and attitude.

Thank you so much for this! I've been thinking about how to write up "how to moderate/lead panels" and "how to be a panelist" guides for Readercon, and for the latter I will definitely be pointing to this post.

When I'm named a panel moderator, I try to firm up what the panel is about from the usually vague description given by the con organizers. I do some reading on the subject, make some general notes about it, and make a list of author names or whatever to have on hand in case of brain freeze.
If I get the topic and the panelists before the con, I try to contact the panelists by email and ask for their impute on the topic and how they want to handle it.
If I can't do this, I talk quietly with the panelists before the panel begins to get some sense of what they want to talk about.
I usually begin with each panelist giving a brief introduction to themselves and allow them to show their newest book for a bit of promo.
Then, I will ask a general question about the topic, and the panelists will take turns answering it.
Usually, after a few questions, the panelists will loosen up enough to turn the panel into a general conversation on the subject, and I rarely have to get the subject back on track.
After the panelists loosen up, the audience begins too, as well, and they are ready to join the conversation toward the end of the panel.
As a long-time guest at a few cons, I am also not above going out in the hall to tell a bunch of raucous fans to take their noise elsewhere or bullying a con worker to get water for the panelists.
As a panelist, I try to do the same amount of research as I do as a moderator and, again, I have general notes and examples written.
On more than one occasion, I've been put onto a panel on a subject I know almost nothing about. The panel on alternate history with Harry Turtledove comes to mind. The con organizers assumed because one of my books had the word "time" in the title I wrote it when, in fact, it was about reincarnation. I frankly admitted I didn't write alternate history when I was introduced but said I was more than eager to ask questions of the panel on the subject. And I did.
It's good to remember that some panels are really about showcasing the big author, not the other, not so known authors. The audience wants to hear Jim Butcher talk about Harry Dresden, not me pontificating on urban fantasy, so I act like a well-informed fangirl and ask him questions.

While I agree with everything you've said in this post, and try to do much the same thing when I'm on panels, especially as the moderator, I do think this is a very idealistic standard. At the average con, most of the professionals -- writers, editors, publishers, agents, artists -- are on panels to promote their work and increase their visibility. I don't think either they or the con planners take the panels as seriously as you do.
WisCon is a clear exception, even though not all WisCon panels go well. I've had good experiences at other cons, but while good moderation helps, a lot of the good panels were the result of serendipity. (I do credit several cons with picking good moderators for sensitive subjects, such as diversity issues.)
The Imagining Radical Democracy panel at Wiscon was outstanding. I'm aware that you all set up that panel in advance with specific people in mind. I think it would be good to do other panels on complex topics that way, using panelists who had spent a lot of time on the subjects and who were willing to work together in advance.
I don't want every panel to be like that because I have met many interesting people by doing panels with them. And I think it's good for moderators and panelists to cultivate the skills of listening to each other and the audience and reading what is going on during the panel.
I was on two panels at WisCon this year. One, on the science behind sex differences in the brain, was excellent. All the panelists brought work -- and good reading lists and thought -- to the subject, and the audience was very receptive, with good ideas of their own and good questions. I had anticipated some potential conflict, but there seemed to be widespread agreement about some of the flaws in the science and the dangers of this to society.
The other panel, however, was very unsuccessful. From our emails in advance, I thought we brought compatible ideas to the discussion and I was looking forward to hearing ideas from some of my fellow panelists. However, it never felt like we were having a discussion and our ideas were so far apart that it was difficult to find common ground. More planning might have given us something more to go on, but I'm not sure it would have saved this particular panel.
However, several people from the panel and the audience have been chewing over the ideas since then, and the failure may lead to a better panel in the future. Although I think a couple of the panelists really magnified the problem because of their desire to hold forth without listening, I suspect the problem was that the subject was more difficult to address and had more points of view than any of us had expected.
I suspect that even with the best will and attitudes possible, some panels will fail. The question then is what do we do about it -- assume it was just a lousy panel or figure out what to do to improve it in the future. On important topics, I hope most of us will choose to work on the problem.

People hate negative campaigns, they just want truthful information and they want to know our solutions to local issues.
In answering questionnaires, as a woman, I thought telling my age proved my integrity. I am amused at the similarities in mine and Gov. Romney's campaign.
We both ran for office and lost and we both have opponents whose agenda is making accusations against us.
My opponent has stated I did not accurately answer a questionnaire.
I was asked: Other prior political and government experience? Which I accurately answered and listed my complete political background. I was never asked what previous political offices I ran for.
Another question was: Number of years living in the area in which you seek to represent?
I was not asked when did I move to District 7? I accurately answered that I lived in the area for 33 years.
People want to know generally if you are a newcomer, to indicate your knowledge of local issues. Since I have lived in Southern Beaufort County for 33 years and been so politically active I believe I know the issues extremely well. County Council members represent the entire county. I am not running for a Bluffton Town Council seat.
Having lived in Shipyard and Windmill Harbour before moving to Bluffton gives me even greater knowledge of the needs of the area. I know the history of Bluffton extremely well. We built and owned Towne Center in downtown Bluffton for 10 years.

A simple silk blouse with a nice bow made from a pleasant fabric with nice print. The pattern is really simple: it took me half a day to make the blouse so it is ideal for those who have no much time for sewing but eagerly want to refresh a wardrobe:-) I shortened the slit of the cut-out to 12 cm and made the wider tie: just used all the fabric left after cuttung the bodice and sleeves – so I got 12 cm of ready width for it.
The skirt isn't new – from Burda 8/2003, # 108 but the fabric and the pattern make it universal and well-matching other clothes. Besides the colour and fabric, my favourite part is the pockets on the back ( the detail about which I can say, "I don't care anybody can't see it, I KNOW it is there". :-)) I also made a pleat instead of the front slit.
Material Notes
Light fabric for the blouse – some kind of Burnout (chiffon).
Herring bone tweed for the skirt, viscose for the lining

Following Defense Secretary Robert Gates and Condoleezza Rice's visit with the Bilderberg Group this past weekend in Chantilly, during which they urged European globalists to support an attack on Iran, the EU and the US today threatened Iran with further sanctions.
Despite the fact that most Europeans at the Bilderberg conference expressed their opposition to a military strike, war drums are beating louder today after the combined US and EU threat, in addition to revelations that Israel has set up a special unit within its air force to manage an air strike on Iran.
"The EU and the US have threatened Iran with further sanctions unless it verifiably suspends nuclear enrichment," reports the BBC.
"The measures were announced after US President George W Bush held talks in Slovenia, during what is expected to be his last official tour of Europe."
As we reported earlier, Rice and Gates attempted to rally support for an attack on Iran at Bilderberg in the same way the a consensus was built for an attack on Iraq during the 2002 Bilderberg conference.
In response to heated rhetoric about a potential attack on Iran, a "tripartisan" group has formed in an attempt to prevent military action which includes Libertarian nominee for president, Robert Barr, as well as several members of Congress, including Reps. Keith Ellison of Minnesota and Barbara Lee of California, both Democrats, and Rep. Ron Paul.
"The current rumor here in Washington is that Bush will attack after the November elections so it won't hurt the Republican nominee politically. Many around him say he feels he has to do something before he leaves office," a campaign organizer, Carah Ong of the Center for Arms Control and Nonproliferation, said. "Part of this is to raise the fact that a military attack is likely and it needs to be prevented."
Israel has been pushing hard for a US-led attack and it was reported today that an 'Iran Command' within its air force has been set up as part of preparations for a possible war against Iran.
"The command's operations are aimed at improving coordination among Israeli ballistic missiles and air and missile brigades which deploy the Arrow and Patriot missile systems," according to Press TV.

Esther Williams, the US swimming champion turned movie star, has died at age 91.
Williams' publicist Harlan Boll says she died on Thursday in her sleep.
Williams became one of Hollywood's biggest moneymakers in the 1940s and 50s, appearing in spectacular swimsuit numbers that capitalised on her wholesome beauty and perfect figure.
Such films as Easy to Wed, Neptune's Daughter and Dangerous When Wet followed the same formula - romance, music, a bit of comedy and a flimsy plot that provided excuses to get Esther into the water.
The extravaganzas dazzled a second generation via television and the compilation films That's Entertainment.
Williams' co-stars included the pick of the MGM contract list, including Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Red Skelton, Ricardo Montalban and Howard Keel.

ORLANDO, FL--(Marketwire - Jan 29, 2013) - Mitsubishi Electric's new LaserVue® family of lamp-free, environmentally-conscious portable projectors create brilliant images with accurate colors using a technologically advanced light engine unlike any other hybrid projector on the market today. Eco-conscious teachers and presenters will see Mitsubishi's first new hybrid projector at FETC (Florida Education Technology Conference) at the Orlando Convention Center this week in Booth #1113.
As a leading supplier of the world's laser light engines for display devices, Mitsubishi draws on its expertise to design and build this new line of lamp-free projectors. To produce the red-green-blue lighting elements required to form all display colors, Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors use one pure red LED and up to 34 pure blue laser diodes of varying strengths and wavelengths, and a solid-colored phosphor wheel that emits green light.
Unlike other light engine designs in the market today, some of the blue laser diodes are diverted to excite phosphors on this single-segment wheel. This creates a clean, clear green, eliminating color breaking or rainbow effects that are sometimes observed in similar projectors. Those that use dual or multi-segment color phosphor wheels often attempt to boost brightness at the expense of color accuracy. Mitsubishi's new design creates bright, truer blues and purer greens -- rich and accurate colors -- using a single-segment wheel.
Mitsubishi's new line of LaserVue projectors consists of three portable models: the NW31U-EST WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) extreme short throw model will be the first to become available in April, followed shortly by two standard throw models: the NW30U WXGA (1280 x 800 resolution) and the NF32U full high-definition, 1080p resolution projector. They burst with 2500 lumens, 3000 lumens and 3000 lumens respectively. Each of these new LaserVue projectors have a light source estimated to last up to 20,000 hours of performance in standard mode, so teachers and presenters can expect many hours of use with no worries about changing lamps.
With this lamp-free design, schools districts, universities and even businesses can expect to save time and money over the life of the projector. And in a continued nod to cost savings, a high-power 10-watt speaker with variable audio output, and a built-in audio pass through means that even when the projector is in stand-by mode, the speaker can still be used. This eliminates the cost and necessity of external amplifiers and speakers.
These Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors also give presenters access to their content in new and different ways -- from mobile devices, the cloud, the internet, a networked server and a traditional computer source. With its built-in "thin client" technology, the Mitsubishi LaserVue projectors don't even need a computer. When connected to a networked server, they become dynamic display devices where users can simply log onto their network directly from the projector, gain access to content from the server and begin displaying it in seconds. Users can opt to skip the traditional steps of physically connecting their computer to the projector or manage any necessary projection function keys.
"Our LaserVue projectors lead the trend in using new technologies," said Wayne Kozuki, product manager, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Solutions America, Inc. "With a lamp-free design and direct access to the cloud, we hope to change the way people present in the classroom and the boardroom."
By using free SidePad and WiFi-Doc applications, these LaserVue projectors also support BYOD (Bring Your Own Display) initiatives with flexibility: teachers and presenters can use a mobile device such as a tablet or a smart phone to access, mirror and control a computer that is connected to the projector and the same Wi-Fi network, and present Powerpoint®, Excel®, Word®, TXT, PPD and JPG files from their iOS or Android devices directly through the projector. For the first time, presenters are untethered from their computers and can control and present from any location within the classroom or meeting space. Both the SidePad and Wifi-Doc apps are free downloads via the Apple® App store or Google Play™.
Long committed to social responsibility and conserving natural resources, Mitsubishi Electric has improved the design and production of its new projectors with the environment in mind, and can help buildings gain LEED certification:
"There's a new world in the classroom and boardroom, and Mitsubishi is here to display it, brilliantly, accurately, and cost-effectively," said James Chan, vice president of marketing, Mitsubishi Electric Visual Display Solutions.
The NW31U-EST and NW30U are targeted for availability in April and the NF32U is targeted for availability in June, with pricing released at that time.

I do not know if there is much to say about Bahai from our standpoint. It seems most understandable that a universalist hopeful spirituality would emerge from people since they are sometimes abused and persecuted by the dominant religious culture of their society (unfortunately it has happened in Orthodox Christianity too). My impression is that in secular society there would be no reason for Orthodox and Bahais to not be good neighbors but best (in most cases) for Orthodox Christians to not delve too deeply into a non Orthodox belief system. Just my 2 cents.
This is a very long read but well worth your time. Anjali is our newly illumined catechumen whose baptism video I posted earlier. What has always fascinated me about her is that she grew up as a Hindu and so her journey into Eastern Orthodoxy was quite different from those of us who came to it through the many Western Protestant and Catholic paths. I was surprised to learn as I read this that she had also journeyed through the Baha'i faith. Her insights gained from that experience remind me a lot of how Mormons seem to see themselves as well. I love to be in bible study with Anjali because I find her insights so valuable. Here she has offered this beautiful testimony of how she arrived at Eastern Orthodoxy and allowed me to publish it so all of you can read it too. I hope you find it as fascinating and wonderful as I have! It was originally composed, I think, as a post to an Orthodox forum to which she belongs.

Harlequin Authors Sue Publisher Over Creative Royalty Calculations
from the I-get-how-much? dept
Enter Harlequin, publisher of fine romance novels. Harlequin has been accused, according to a class action lawsuit, of using some very creative accounting to reduce the ebook royalty rates paid to authors from 50% of the net receipts to a paltry 3-4% rate:
This lawsuit results from Defendant Harlequin Enterprises Limited, the world's leading publisher of romance fiction, depriving Plaintiffs and the other authors in the class, of e-book royalties due to them under publishing agreements entered into between 1990 and 2004. Harlequin required the authors to enter into those agreements with a Swiss entity that it created for tax purposes, and that it dominates and controls. However, Harlequin, before and after the signing of these agreements, performed all the publishing functions related to the agreements, including exercising, selling, licensing, or sublicensing the e-book rights granted by the authors. Instead of paying the authors a royalty of 50% of its net receipts as required by the agreements, an intercompany license was created by Harlequin with its Swiss entity resulting in authors receiving 3% to 4% of the e-books' cover price as their 50% share instead of 50% of Harlequin Enterprises' receipts.Basically, these authors are just not happy with these reduced royalty rates. The authors claim that Harlequin Switzerland was set up for no other purpose but to syphon out as much money as possible before calculating any royalties for the authors. Hardly something that any publisher should do if they actually care about their business.
What this means to the authors can be illustrated by an e-book with a hypothetical cover price of $8.00. The "net receipts" made by Harlequin Enterprises Limited from the exercise, sale or license of e-book rights would be at least $4.00, of which authors would be entitled to $2.00 based on their 50% royalty. Computing the "net receipts" based on the "license" between Harlequin's Swiss entity and Harlequin Enterprises, Plaintiffs' 50% royalty amounts to only 24 to 32 cents.
There was once a time where such a tactic would not have reached the point of a lawsuit. There was a time when publishers actually had a strangle hold on publishing and could force any terms they could conceivably get away with. However, with the introduction and proliferation of self publishing, that stranglehold is weakening. As authors are looking at the deals they are getting from publishers vs the deals self published authors are getting from the likes of Amazon and even Apple, they are beginning to lash out.
Of course, if Harlequin were smart about this, meaning it realizes the mistake of using such accounting methods, it would seek a quick settlement that results in the authors getting paid their proper royalties. If for some reason, as many publishers claim, it cannot afford to pay authors the true 50% then it will see a quick decline of new authors and a drop off of existing authors. Then, it will fail.

What If...
What if Stephen Strasburg doesn't take the mound, strike out the side in order on 9 pitches and ascend directly to heaven? What if he gives up a handful of hits, or (Strasburg forbid) a handful of runs in only six innings of work before sitting down for the night? What if suspect defense or spotty relief work cost him a Strasmas Day victory?
What if the stadium runs out of food and drink in the 2nd inning? You think I'm kidding, but Opening Day was a logistical nightmare, and the June 4th pre-Strasmas crowd pretty much emptied the concession stands out by the fifth inning.
What if the view of the field is obscured by people constantly coming and going from their seats while the ushers stand idly by? What if standing room only fights break out as people jockey for position to watch the first pitch?
I guess what I'm saying is, the eyes of the baseball world are on Nationals Park tonight, and if things don't go smoothly it could easily cast a long shadow over what should be one of the brightest days in DC baseball history.
I'm sure Mark Lerner and Stan Kasten are aware of the stakes, but given their history I'm much less confident that they've looked beyond the rosy glow of ticket sales. The challenges that come with accomodating what figures to be the largest crowd in Nationals Park history, many of whom may be experiencing Nationals baseball for the first time, are enormous. I believe Stephen Strasburg is up to the task. I can only hope the same is true for the rest of the organization.

With all the new coverage of this sport and its rapid rate of growth, there are more and more people on the water every day. more people equals less space and as all know, kiting is no good in confined spaces. are there any rules out there regarding 'right of way' on the water? or performing jumps with others near by? if there are any standard water rules they should be taught to everyone getting into the sport.
later, Jungles

So at the time of this writing SolidWorks WORLD 2013 has officially wrapped up and many of the 4,500 users that descended upon Disney the last 4 days have probably started their trek back home. A lot of them are probably itching to get back to their dark & musty corner of the basement to try out all the cool stuff they just learned.
As a pre-requisite, this article is not meant to tear down anyone or anything but is simply some food for thought and a seed for some constructive discussions hopefully.
This morning I was able to watch the General Session from Monday in its entirety. One of the things that really stuck out to me from that video was the statement that "94% of the users surveyed approved of the current offering". This is a great number considering around 250,000 users were surveyed but this also means that about 15,000 users (or 6%) were not satisfied currently. To take it a step further, of the 2,000,000 licenses sold (a milestone reached in December 2012), 120,000 of them are not satisfied if that approval rating continues to hold true. Likewise, is 12.5% of the total user base really a true depiction of the entire SolidWorks community?
Anyways, for the sake of this article lets assume that approval rating does hold true. My question is, what is SolidWorks doing about the 6% that don't approve of their current offerings? At my company I can compare it to a goal of being on-time will all of our deliveries 100% of the time. Now if we were on-time 94% of the time I would be pleased BUT what would really bother me is what happened the other 6% of the time. So, is SolidWorks holding their hat on the 94% or are they "upset" that 6% of their users do not approve? Is their answer / solution packaged in a new software like SolidWorks Mechanical Conceptual (which needs to be a whole separate post) or is it included in some of the new features announced for SolidWorks 2014 (which again will need to be a entirely separate post)?
What are your thoughts on this? Are YOU satisfied with 94%? Should SolidWorks be satisfied?

MILPITAS — An early-morning traffic stop erupted into a shootout between a Milpitas officer and a possible car thief who sped off and remains at large, police said.
The confrontation started when a Milpitas police officer stopped a tan 1996 Honda Accord for an unspecified moving violation at 1:49 a.m. Tuesday on Jacklin Road near Escuela Parkway.
As the patrolman got out of his car, the male driver got out of the Honda, drew a gun, and fired at the officer, according to police.
The officer, who was not hit, returned fire, but it was unknown whether he wounded the man, who drove away. Sgt. Kevin Corvin said the officer, a six-year department veteran, suffered a minor non-gunshot-related injury that did not require medical treatment.
The officer has been placed on routine administrative leave, and an investigation monitored by the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office has been launched, which is a standard procedure following any officer-involved shooting.
Police searched the area and found the Honda in a nearby neighborhood. They soon learned it had been stolen in San Jose. Investigators also released photos of the officer's car showing bullet damage to the front windshield.
The gunman was described as a Latino man in his early 20s, between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-9, weighing between 160 and 180 pounds with a medium build, last seen wearing a black-and-white horizontal-striped flannel shirt.
The shooting forced the closure of streets around the intersection, which made the morning commute challenging given that Jacklin Road is a thoroughfare and the primary entry point for Escuela Parkway, on which three schools are located, the largest being Milpitas High School.
Police did not release further details, citing an ongoing investigation. They asked anyone with information about the shooting to contact police at 408-586-2400 or leave a tip at 408-586-2500 or www.ci.milpitas.ca.gov/government/police/crime_tip.asp.

During high school, Parker's mother fell ill from childbirth. To help his
family, he worked in his father's barber shop, while continuing to attend
high school classes. He also studied law for two summers under the tutelage
of one of his barbering clients.
After graduating from high school with the honor of being chosen as the graduation speaker, Parker planned to attend Oberlin College. An injury suffered by his father, however, ended this dream. Instead, he packed up his barbering tools and went "prospecting" in the south.

Microwaving Has Evolved
Unlike traditional microwaves that rely on pulse-on, pulse-off cooking at lower temperatures, patented Inverter Technology generates a steady stream of power at all temperature settings. The result? Consistent, evenly prepared food — edges to center — across a wider range of cooking techniques. This delivery of microwave energy allows delicate foods to simmer without overcooking, so foods have the look and taste you expect, without the wait. Most important, everyone enjoys delicious food that's easier and faster to prepare, and better retains its color, texture and nutrients.
1250 Watt high power enables quicker cooking times in a full-size 1.6 cubic feet interior. The precision touch-button control panel and four-digit green display provide a sleek, high-end look and a practically effortless cooking experience. And nine preset menu options for everyday meals, side dishes, vegetables and more maximize everyday cooking convenience. Choose between stylish white or black door and exterior countertop models. Each is designed to complement any décor and provide a minimal footprint on countertops.
Better Cooking with Inverter Technology
Patented Inverter Technology delivers a seamless stream of cooking power even at low settings. With the continuous, linear output of Inverter, not only will your food be easily and quickly prepared, you can confidently cook, and even poach, braise and steam foods to perfection. Just as important, the essential vitamins and nutrients you expect in all your meals will be retained.
Great Cooking, No Guesswork
With one-touch sensor cook and reheat, Panasonic takes the guesswork out of creating great meals by automatically setting power levels and adjusting cooking, defrosting and reheating times. The sensor measures the amount of steam naturally produced during cooking and signals the oven's advanced microprocessor to automatically calculate the remaining cooking time at any power level for optimum results.
Sensor Inverter Turbo Defrost
The microwave oven is also designed with Turbo Defrost to help prepare food more efficiently than any Panasonic microwave before it. This advanced feature utilizes a microwave sequencing system based on Inverter's continuous-power delivery method to thaw foods more evenly and quickly.
Sleek Controls
A sleek, touch-button control panel and four-digit display provide a high-end look. And nine preset menu options provide automatic convenience for hot cereals and omelets, frozen after-school snacks, vegetables, frozen entrees, pasta, potatoes and more. Controls and sensors automatically set power levels, monitor and cooking time and when done, keep foods warm until ready to serve.
Keep Warm Feature
Keeps foods like vegetables, soups, hors d'oeuvres, gravies, sauces and desserts warm and delicious in the oven until they're ready to serve. The microwave delivers a pulsing, automatic stream of low microwave power to maintain constant temperature levels in foods without overcooking.
More Conveniences
More everyday advantages include a quick-minute timer that lets you set cooking and reheating times in single-minute intervals, or add another minute when needed. And a handy delay start feature and bright, time-of-day clock and versatile timer provide additional convenience. For safety, a child safety lock is also included to keep young hands from operating the oven.
Maximum Interior, Minimal Footprint
The smart, compact design of the Inverter power unit devotes less space to electronics and controls and far more interior capacity. These smaller, more efficient energy and control units are also up to eight pounds lighter than conventional microwave components. All of which adds up to less weight and a minimal exterior footprint when placed on a counter.
Interactive Menu Screen
A helpful Menu Action Screen scrolls step-by-step cooking instructions for a full range of appetizers, main courses, side dishes, soups, sauces, casseroles, desserts and more across the display in your choice of English, Spanish or French. It's almost like having a professional chef to assist you in the kitchen.

What should I check if my microwave stops working?
Check the fuse/circuit breaker for the outlet to see if it has been tripped or blown. Check other outlets to see if there is a GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) outlet that is on the same circuit as the outlet used for the unit and see if it needs to be reset. Connect the oven to another outlet to see if unit is still operational. If the unit is still not working, please contact a local authorized servicer for diagnosis and repair.

What should I do if my microwave display is not working?Check to make sure unit is plugged into a working outlet by plugging in another device to determine if power is available at the receptacle.
If power is not available at the outlet check your fuse/circuit breaker, panel.
Note: Newer homes/buildings are generally wired with GFI (Ground Fault Interrupt) receptacles, if your building is equipped with GFI receptacles be sure to check if the circuit breaker directly on the receptacle has been tripped and requires reset.
If you determine the outlet has power but the microwave still is not functioning, contact a local Panasonic authorized servicer for repair.

I need help in understanding how to use/write a pointer. I am only a junior and i have been told this class should not be taught to HS Students and i am lost, in it, and i can't drop the class, whats a girl to do?
some people think, when they they first learn pointers, "what will i ever need this for in c++?". Thats what I first thought. First, you will need them because other concepts taught in c++ have pointers, so they are a must. Second of all, to change the values of variables without creating an extra variable, you need to pass pointers to the function. Pointers are simple to understand. First of all, they of course point to the address of a variable or function mainly. You declare it like this: int* ptr; You need the asterisk after the variable type. Now, if you want to change whats in the address, you write something like this: ptr++. It increments the address by 1. If it was pointing to an array: ptr=array[1]; Then: ptr++; will make it point to the third element of the array, or array[2]. Also you can change the value of what is in the pointer like this: *ptr++; that will increment the value of whats in the pointer by 1. Blah blah, that enough or you need more?
What's a girl to do?
Search the web!!! There are literally thousands of tutorials on this kind of stuff.... search the web first, and post if you have trouble with something afterwards.
Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.
Whatever is said in Latin sounds profound.
Just remember, a pointer just stores a memory address. That's all. That seemed to clear everything up for me.
Pointers int c++ are handled in a pleasent way.
They get tricky when used in arrays with three or more dimensions, it's not easy passing such arrays to functions.
class dummy{
int nonsense1;
double nonsense2;
void dononsense(int nonsense1){
nonsense1++; nonsense2=1.0;}
dummy XYZ;
int main(){
dummy ABC,*UVW; // nonsense1 is private, but ...
void *ptr = UVW;
QUESTION: Which values are stored in XYZ.nonsense1, XYZ.nonsense2, ABC.nonsense1, ABC.nonsense2 after the calls to dononsense?
(to do less nonsense you may need to know the this-pointer and its use; however, finding the correct answers would prove you're an expert on pointers.)
Pointers are pretty straightforward until you get into multiple indirection. Then they can become a little harder, but not much.
Pointers do exactly that - point at something. They point at memory addresses - you could think of as though they point to one little mailbox in a huge grid of mailboxes. The value at an address would be what's in the mailbox. The address of the mailbox is where the mailbox is.
This stuff really should be taught in High School in order to prepare students for the everchanging everexpanding world of computers. If I had learned this in high school, I would be much farther along than I am. It is a shame that most have to wait until college to learn C/C++. My opinion is that you will learn more on your own, but school will get you into some very good habits and will teach you good program structure (hopefully).
Create some integer pointers and use printf("%p",yourptr) to see it's address and printf("%d",*yourptr) to see what it's value is or what's in it's mailbox.

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama claimed "full responsibility" Wednesday for fixing his administration's much-maligned health insurance website as a new concern surfaced: a government memo pointing to security worries, laid out just days before the launch.
On Capitol Hill, Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius apologized to frustrated people trying to sign up, declaring that she is accountable for the failures but also defending the historic health care overhaul.
The website sign-up problems will be fixed by Nov. 30, she said, and the gaining of health insurance will make a positive difference in the lives of millions of Americans.
Obama underscored the administration's unhappiness with the problems so far: "There's no excuse for it," he said during a Boston speech to promote his signature domestic policy achievement. "And I take full responsibility for making sure it gets fixed ASAP."
The website HealthCare.gov was still experiencing outages as Sebelius faced a new range of questions at the House Energy and Commerce Committee about a security memo from her department. It revealed that the troubled website was granted a temporary security certificate on Sept. 27, just four days before it went live on Oct. 1.
The memo, obtained by The Associated Press, said incomplete testing created uncertainties that posed a potentially high security risk for the website. It called for a six-month "mitigation" program, including ongoing monitoring and testing.
Security issues raise major new concerns on top of the long list of technical problems the administration is grappling with.
"You accepted a risk on behalf of every user ... that put their personal financial information at risk," Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., told Sebelius, citing the memo. "Amazon would never do this. ProFlowers would never do this. Kayak would never do this. This is completely an unacceptable level of security."
Sebelius countered that the system is secure, even though the site's certificate, known in government parlance as an "authority to operate," is of a temporary nature. A permanent certificate will be issued only when all security issues are addressed, she stressed.
Spokeswoman Joanne Peters added separately: "When consumers fill out their online ... applications, they can trust that the information they're providing is protected by stringent security standards and that the technology underlying the application process has been tested and is secure. Security testing happens on an ongoing basis using industry best practices."
The security certificate is required under longstanding federal policy before any government computer system can process, store or transmit agency data.
The temporary certificate was approved by Medicare chief Marilyn Tavenner, the senior HHS official closest to the rollout. No major security breaches have been reported.
The memo said, "From a security perspective, the aspects of the system that were not tested due to the ongoing development, exposed a level of uncertainty that can be deemed as a high risk for the (federal marketplace website)."
It recommended setting up a security team to address risks and conduct daily tests, and said a full security test should be conducted within two to three months of the website going live.

You get sales alerts, Twitter alerts, sports alerts and Facebook alerts. Now you can also get an alert when the International Space Station is visible overhead thanks to NASA's new Web app Spot the Station.
The International Space Station's orbit 200 miles above Earth makes it visible to more than 90% of the Earth's population, NASA said. The trick is knowing when to look for it.
NASA's Johnson Space Center already calculates the sighting information several times a week for more than 4,600 locations worldwide. With its new Web app, it is just sharing that information with the space-obsessed public.
As long as you know where to look, the International Space Station is pretty easy to see, NASA said. It is the third-brightest object in the sky after the sun and the moon, and it looks like a fast moving point of light about the size and brightness of the planet Venus.

International Melges 32 Class Prepares For The 2009 East Coast Championship
12 May 2009
Rye, N.Y. (May 12) - The International Melges 32 Class in coordination with the North American fleet is ready to go racing again in the USA at the 2009 East Coast Championship (ECC) hosted by theAmerican Yacht Club (AYC) in Rye, N.Y. on May 15-17. This is the third year that the fleet has conducted such an event and looks ahead to an exciting weekend of competitive sportboat racing.
Seven top-notch teams will feature some of the best talent the sailing world has to offer. Gavin Brady will call tactics for Jim Swartz (Edgartown, Mass.) on USA-007 Q; Anthony Kotoun will serve as tactician aboard John Taylor's (Jupiter, Fla.) USA-1315 Ninkasi; and Max Skelley will offer his expertise to Geoff Pierini (Bernardsville, N.J.) on USA-178 Shakedown. Jason Carroll (New York, NY) on USA-128 Argo will be under the careful guidance of John Baxter; Tony Rey will saddle up with Kip Meadows (Rocky Mount, N.C.) on USA-77 roXanne and Alex Jackson from Riverside, Conn. on USA-174 Leenabarca will not have to travel far to compete with Brad Boston calling the shots. Last, certainly not least is Edward Tillinghast (New York, N.Y.) on USA-151 Dark n' Stormy with Steve Benjamin on tactics.
Making the ECC unique and following in the footsteps of the very successful Gold Cup Regatta held in December 2008, Saturday has been designated as Take A Junior Sailing Day. A few of the Northeast's most talented junior sailors will have the chance to socialize with and compete against some of worlds biggest and brightest sailing super stars. This effort is a true testament to the International Melges 32 Class Association's quest to grow and share the sport of sailing on an unprecedented level with aspiring junior sailors.
Teams are in full preparation mode, not only for the intense race days ahead, but also for a terrific two-day speed clinic presented by North. This exclusive opportunity starts on Wednesday, May 13 and concludes on Thursday, May 14. A robust curriculum will specifically target Melges 32 tactics and boat handling maneuvers. Rig tuning, speed testing, starting practice, mini races and local knowledge sessions are all topics slated to be covered.
The East Coast Championship is the first in a string of high-profile events scheduled for the 2009 Melges 32 Summer racing season. The fleet moves to the Midwest to kick-off the Great Lakes Gold Cup Series comprised of the Chicago NOOD on June 19-21, the Harbor Springs Championship on July 31-August 2 and third is the Verve Cup on August 13-16. In between, the fleet will migrate to the West Coast for the 2009 Melges 32 U.S. National Championship on July 24-26 hosted by the California Yacht Club in Marina Del Rey, Calif. as it works its way toward the 2009 Melges 32 North American Championship hosted by the Sausalito Yacht Club on September 6-8 in Sausalito, Calif.

Part of the reason I've avoided this is I hadn't even heard about it until I saw mention of it on my friend's blog. I'm still having trouble parsing exactly what happened.
That's a big part of why I've been silent for so long. All I knew until I saw that second post was that someone had been killed, allegedly because she refused violent sex, all taken from this blog post here.
While I could certainly see that any mention of "violent sex" or rape fantasy eventually gets us blamed and dragged through the media, I couldn't see the same direct parallels that something like the Glenn Marcus case would have. I didn't see any direct reference to sadomasochism at all -- what's "violent sex?" What's "sadomasochistic"? Were/are these people connected to the community in any way? I knew the answers to none of that until I saw Daisy's post today.
And, hell, I rarely if ever posted even about the killers and abusers known to be lurking in BDSM. I don't think I posted a lick anywhere about Glenn Marcus, for example, or paid enough attention to know his name, until I saw comments on blogs by his other slaves defending him. So I said "I'm not going to cover the Kercher murder; if any and every psycho who wants 'violent sex' (whatever that even is; like I said, that's so vague I don't know anyway) were my responsibility to talk about and deal with, I'd never get my own voice."
But then I saw this, from Daisy's latest post:
What really sets this case apart is the fact that Amanda had an ongoing narrative, as FOXY KNOXY--a MySpace blogger who openly wrote about BDSM scenarios and had something of a fan-base. One wonders if this case would keep us so enthralled if this pre-conceived character did not already exist, as the Columbine boys also had online personas that dovetailed with their real-life intentions. The Telegraph puts it very plainly, titling their update: AMANDA KNOX WROTE STORIES ABOUT RAPE (all that's required is an exclamation point, or several):Apparently this person was actually connected with BDSM in some way, did it or wrote about it and knew enough to call it that. And apparently she was popular enough that some people might get their ideas about it from her.
Which matters. People saw this. People read this. Her stories are now evidence in a criminal case. And of course it's shocking and titillating that she wrote them. Perhaps especially so, since she's a woman, and we all expect women not to have these fantasies.
I'm female and have them too. Should I be worried?
What frightens many bloggers, is how Amanda's blog is now being used as evidence.Honestly, I don't know enough about the case to know. I don't know how much evidence links this person to the crime, or if the real story is that there is no evidence and violent fantasy is all they're going on. Is it almost definitely clear what happened, and they're looking for more information about motive, or is this the principal evidence linking this person to the crime?
Moral of the story: Fantasies we write about may one day bite us in the ass, so be careful. For example, if I should write that a certain person makes me sick and I wish they would die, and they end up dead under questionable circumstances, does that automatically make me a suspect? (And if so, is that fair?)
If your roommate ends up raped and murdered and you have written fantasies on your blog about rape and murder, well, talk about some bad luck, huh?
And even if there is more evidence, what license does that really give the media to portray it all in this way?
I don't know. I've never hidden my fantasies. I've always thought that was the best policy. This raises more questions for me than answers, or concrete fears.
Does anyone know more about what happened?

LC Baseball Defeats Ferrum 4-3
FERRUM, VA – Sophomore James Womack pitched eight solid innings on Tuesday night as the Lynchburg College baseball team defeated Ferrum College 4-3 in non-conference play. Womack limited the Panthers to three hits and one earned run.
Lynchburg put up three early runs in the first inning for the initial lead. Junior Dan Savage continued his impressive hitting with a two-run triple to left field who then scored off an RBI-double from sophomore Dustin Arrowood.
Womack kept the Panthers in check until the seventh inning when they scored a run off an RBI-single. Junior Brock Shiflett singled in senior Richard Palase during the eighth inning, while LC held to a 4-1 lead.
Ferrum rallied in the eighth for two runs, both of which came unearned. With the bases loaded in the ninth inning, freshman Matt Outman induced a popup to end the game. Outman picked up his first career save.
Daniel Alvarez led the Panthers (20-15) with one RBI, while Chris Walker took the loss.
Lynchburg (29-7/13-3 ODAC) hosts Washington & Lee University on Friday afternoon at 1 p.m. for senior day. The Hornets game with Christopher Newport scheduled for Wednesday afternoon has been cancelled.

Potential Sponsor, when present, indicates the name of a researcher who would be interested in lending support in the form of supervision or other resources to a project.
Tool Development
AFF Enhancement
AFF is the Advanced Forensics Format, developed by Simson Garfinkel and Basis Technology. The following enhancements would be very useful to the format:
- Signing with X.509 or GPG keys data segments and metadata.
- Encryption of data segments with an AES-256 key specified by a password
- Encryption of the AES-256 key with a public key (and decryption with a corresponding private key)
- Evaluation of the AFF data page size. What is the optimal page size for compressed forensic work?
- Replacement of the AFF "BADFLAG" approach for indicating bad data with a bitmap.

Flash Memory
Flash memory devices such as USB keys implement a wear leveling algorithm in hardware so that frequently rewritten blocks are actually written to many different physical blocks. Are there any devices that let you access the raw flash cells underneath the wear leveling chip? Can you get statistics out of the device? Can you access pages that have been mapped out (and still have valid data) but haven't been mapped back yet? Can you use this as a technique for accessing deleted information?

Those in the top 25% of a law class, who get some legal experience while they are in school, don't usually have too bad of a time finding work (even at T4). There are exceptions, obviously, but I would say that the preceding statements are 80% accurate.
Ok. Im new to this and I'm looking for a little help choosing a law school. The two schools that I'm seriously considering are thomas jefferon where i'll have a 60k scholarship (housing grand included) or move to chicago and attending either depaul or chicago-kent (still waiting to hear back). Depaul is offering me 32k, which isnt much but it's something. I'm also waiting to hear back from southwestern, a tier 3 but I really don't want to live in LA. But again its a tier 3, better than a tier 4 for the most part. My primary issue is I'm a little hesitant to pass on Depaul since it's a tier 2 and go to thomas jefferson which is a tier 4. I'm not nieve in thinking that a T2 will offer many more career prospects than a T4 however, Depaul seems to have a a pretty solid reputation within the chicago area, and I can definitely see myself living there. Whereas Thomas Jefferson is one of three law schools in the san diego area and is ranked the lowest of the three. It competes with Univ. of San diego and Cal western which in my opinion cal western should be viewed as equal but Univ. of san diego a T2 may put me a disadvantage....so....please someone help....any thoughts??p.s. I have no real ties to chicago, I've just always seen myself living in a big city. When I visited i did enjoy the environment and being in the city, however, I'm from california and I would leaving my family, friends, and boyfriend to move to chicago by myself.

Looking for Derrick John Dicker/Hutt of California born in NZ
Derrick -possibly Derek? was born in 1943 in New Zealand to Rita Jacqueline Dicker who was aged 17 at the time. At some stage - probably when Derrick was an infant, he was taken to the US.
Derrick has been to NZ to find his family and has been in touch in the past. However, all of the people he was in touch with have either passed away or are very elderly and can't remember anything.
So... we would very much like to find him again. I have LOTS to tell him about his birth families here in New Zealand.
We do know that in the mid 1980s he was living in Oakland, California.
He may have changed his surname to Hutt?
I have now found out that Derrick was born in NZ and adopted and then went to the US. So... he will abviously have a different surname now or possibly be using the surname Hutt

Arizona Politicians Scramble To Adjust Internet Censorship Bill After The Internet Mocks Them For Being Clueless
from the this-won't-end-well dept
Here's a thought, though: if you passed a bill so bad that people around the globe are mocking you, perhaps it suggests you don't know what you're doing. At that point, shouldn't you back away from mucking with the internet, and leave that to the professionals who actually understand technology? Somehow, diving back in and pretending that this time you'll get it right doesn't inspire confidence. And, in fact, the details suggest that any amendments considered at this point will almost certainly still be First Amendment violations.
"Even so narrowed, the statute is unconstitutional. You simply cannot prohibit emails that are said to be intended to offend. That violates the First Amendment flat out," said University of Chicago Law School professor Geoffrey Stone, who specializes in constitutional law. "You can prohibit email if the recipient has requested you to stop sending them. That's different -- but that's not what this says."Still, I think the most ridiculous words of all come from Rep. Steve Farley from Phoenix whose statement on the bill is really quite stunning:
"I know people are focusing on unintended consequences of the bill, but I don't think that's realistic," Farley said. "I think this is a wakeup call that we should be civil online and in society in general. I don't think it's right we should ever be able to threaten violence against each other online."I love how he doesn't explain why the unintended consequences aren't "realistic." He just insists that's the case. Of course, anyone who's actually been around policymaking (especially when it comes to technology) knows that there are always unintended consequences. And it's not hard to find unintended consequences of a bill like this that broadly outlaws "annoying" people with electronic devices.
But even more ridiculous is that second half. You don't legislate civility. We don't make a law saying you have to say "please" and "thank you." Look, some people are obnoxious jerks out there. That's not a legislative problem. Finally, his claim that people shouldn't be able to threaten violence against each other might have some weight if the bill was actually limited to people threatening violence. But it's not.
How do people like this get elected?
