EX: I can't fall asleep. ("asleep" modifies the verb "fall")Originally Posted by notmyname216
Interested in Language
According to the dictionary the word "asleep" is normally used as a adjective
and can also be used as an adverb. What is an example of a sentence where it is used as a adverb?
EX: I can't fall asleep. ("asleep" modifies the verb "fall")Originally Posted by notmyname216
Thanks for the example.
I assume that inserting the word "fast" , a adverb, does not change "asleep" to be a adjective:
I can fall fast asleep.
Also, isn't "asleep" a adjective in this sentence:
I fell asleep.
You're welcome.Originally Posted by notmyname216
"asleep" functions as an adverb in both examples. It modifies the verb "feel" by describing how you fell, how your state of consciousness descended.
Adverbs answers the questions, Who?, Where?, When?, How?, and Why.
I fell asleep
Test: How did I fall? => Answer: asleep
I fell fast asleep
Test: How did I fall? => Answer: fast asleep
I am asleep.
Test: What are you? => Answer: asleep
I fell asleep.
Test: *What are you fell? => Answer: asleep (* means, ungrammatical)
Ok, now I am confused.
AdverbCode:Adverbs answers the questions, Who?, Where?, When?, How?, and Why.
The baby was fast asleep.
Test: How was the baby? => Answer: fast asleep
The baby was fast asleep.
Test: What is the baby? => Answer: asleep
In the sentence above "asleep" is suppose to be a adjective not a adverb, but it passes the test for it to be a adverb.
Here's a trick that might help: "is", and other forms of the verb To Be, is a linking verb. The only adverbs that linking verbs co-occur with are those that express time and location, like this,
The baby is in bed. (Where? In bed. (adverb))
The baby was in bed at 6 p.m. (When? At 6 p.m. (adverb))
The baby was asleep. (adjective)
Your example:
The baby is in bed.
"in" is a preposition, "bed" is a noun.
Is "in bed" an adverbial phrase?
Unfortunately I still can not tell when a word is definately a adverb.
In some sentences the test to use to determine what the word is
passes both the test for adverb as well as the test for adjective as I demonstrated in my previous example.
What is the difference between disinterested end uninterested?
Yes. It's a prepositional phrase in form (that's what it looks like) and an adverbial phrase in function (that's what it does). Every word can be divided into two categories: 1) What it looks like, its form, and what it does, its function. "in bed" is a prepositional phrase, made up of the preposition "in" and the noun "bed", and together the phrase "in bed" answers the question Where? That is, it tells us where the baby is located. If a word or a phrase answers Why?, Where?, When, and How? then it functions as an adverb.Originally Posted by notmyname216

Well, try asking the WH questions, and if that fails, remember that only adverbs of time and place occur with linking verbs. Try a few more sentences; post them here if you want, and we'll go through them together.
disinterested means, impartial, whereas uninterested means, not interested.Originally Posted by eurekateam
Note, if you have a reply, please post it under a new heading. The topic of this thread deals with the adverb "asleep".

Man gets prison for theft, vandalism in Lincoln
Man gets prison for theft, vandalism in Lincoln
LINCOLN, Neb. —
A 20-year-old man has been given 10 to 16 years in prison for burglary and another conviction stemming from theft and destruction at a middle school in Lincoln.
Online court records say Bruce Grandel had pleaded no contest to burglary and aiding and abetting possession of a firearm. Prosecutors had lowered the weapons charge and dropped another one in exchange for Grandel's pleas. He was sentenced Wednesday in Lancaster County District Court.
Prosecutors say Grandel and others broke into Dawes Middle School on Dec. 20 and smashed computer monitors, pulled down wall clocks and fired gunshots at a school window. Two computers and a projector were stolen.

Youth for Change (Y4C)
- 3 Posts
- Age 30
Hi everybody this Er.Vijay, Assistant Professor (Civil Engg). I'm 25 years old running my own foundation to support orphaned children in pursuing their education here at Chennai. Considering the global scenario I would like to introduce a great possible concept 'Youth for Change' (Y4C).
Y4C is a youth led program that aims to inform, inspire and involving youths all around the world as agents of change in their communities through inter-disciplinary social development projects.
Objectives:1. To foster youthful positive relationship among all the youths of India and to unite
2. To involve youths in global development at national level
3. To empower the innovation in youths and to encourage scientific solutions for social issues.
Vision: To encourage and empower youths for a global sustainable development.
What we do?Our mission is to inspire today's youth to take action for what they believe in, and empower them to take a stand on issues. Problems/issues will be analysed and considered by Y4C, after discussion sessions and knowledge sharing we will form a final sustainable solution. Then that solution will be released for general public and fund-raising. And finally Y4C will implement the sustainable solution for the welfare of people.
Y4C will also have an ambassador program, which gives youth from all over the world the opportunity to connect with other youth around the world, and get them to talk about their countries and also to work on their problems. We connect youth to world issues by getting youth to talk about the things that matter to them.
For me, youths are the leaders of TODAY, not tomorrow. We are assets, not liabilities. We are solutions, not a problem to be solved. As these lines flowing in the blood I take this initiative to bring out the true leader in every youth!
We initiated Youth for Change successfully with a great support from my students and friends. Our Y4C's first issue is ' Unreachable education' in India. Though we consider India, the solution we derived is sustainable and suits for every nation.
In my next Y4C post I will tell you all about the Y4C/Issue
No.1 and its solution. Together we shall discuss and lets
unite to bring positive changes. I wholeheartedly welcome all
youths to take part in this initiative. In this Y4C, as a team we
shall discuss and solve problems of the fellow human-beings. Any
social problems/issues we have a solution. The Youth Power!

Speaking to an over-flow crowd at the recent South Carolina Peanut Growers annual meeting, Marie Fenn, managing director of the National Peanut Board said, the current salmonella outbreak linked to peanut butter began in Minnesota in a nursing home facility in which salmonella was found in an open container of peanut butter.
The Food and Drug Administration investigation actually began in September of 2008. The first FDA report was issued in early January. This report indicated the investigation was for peanut butter used in institutions. This investigation was started in response to the Minnesota nursing home case.
Subsequently, as of the first of February, over 500 cases of salmonella poisoning have been linked to contaminated peanut butter from products processed at the Peanut Corporation of America's Blakely, Ga. plant.
The FDA and other state agencies began testing products from that facility. Subsequently, testing by the Connecticut Health Department identified a non-opened package of peanut butter crackers that contained salmonella, which included peanut paste from the same Blakely, Ga. plant.
The FDA issued their 483, or final report on Jan. 28. The FDA concluded this particular outbreak came from Peanut Corporation of America (PCA). The report indicates PCA did some internal testing as far back as 2007 and found salmonella hits in their products.
According to the FDA, the company ignored the poor manufacturing practices and shipped product across the state line. The company may be facing public safety violations related to interstate commerce.
"If there is good news from the recent salmonella outbreak, it's that Americans should feel perfectly safe in eating peanut butter from grocery stores. There has been absolutely no link between commercially available peanut butter and salmonella poisoning in the current FDA investigation," Fenn says.
She points out that more than 99.9 percent of all U.S. peanut products did NOT come from Peanut Corporation of America. Even if all the cases of illness and the deaths linked to salmonella poisoning prove to be from peanut butter, there is no link between this .01 percent and the vast majority of safe and healthy peanut products on the grocery shelves across America.
There remain some questions concerning the scope of the current salmonella outbreak. The exact fingerprint of the salmonella found in the Georgia plant does not match the strain of salmonella found in the Connecticut case.
In the Minnesota nursing home case, there is some concern as to how long the jar of peanut butter in question was left open, and whether the salmonella came from the peanut butter or disease-causing organisms formed from long-term exposure to outside sources of infection.
Fenn says people should err on the side of caution. "We know over 500 people got sick across 43 states and the FDA says salmonella may be a partial cause of the death of as many as eight cases.
It is a very sad and unfortunate situation for the people who were affected. It also casts a negative cloud over the fine manufacturers of peanut products who work diligently to provide consumers with safe, wholesome and healthy peanut products," she concludes.
"A few years back peanut farmers voted themselves into a national peanut check-off program. As a result a strong and consistent program of research, education and promotion to help America understand what a fine crop U.S. peanut growers produce.
"All through this salmonella crisis, the media has had access to information provided by these check-off funds, and as a result we have had many positive stories about peanuts generated by the unfortunate disease outbreak," Fenn says.
From the growers standpoint the FDA salmonella report could not have come at a worse time. Peanut contracts have not been issued and growers are being forced to push back cropping plans.
Buyers are in a similar wait-and-see mode says Tyron Spearman who heads the Peanut Buying Point Association. "The salmonella outbreak and subsequent consumer reaction has stalled the entire peanut industry," says Spearman.
"How quick groups like the National Peanut Board and state grower associations can regain consumer confidence in peanut butter will be a good indicator of what kind of year we will have this year and next," Fenn says.
Compared to the media frenzy in tomatoes in the summer of 2008, the peanut industry has done a magnificent job of keeping the problem focused on one small company and one specific group of products. Media outlets ran such headlines as "killer tomatoes source of salmonella deaths" without much attention to the facts.
In the peanut salmonella outbreak government agencies, the FDA in particular, have been much more reticent to make dramatic claims and have worked with the peanut industry to try and help American consumers understand the facts related to the outbreak.
"Americans have long had a love affair with peanut butter. They want peanut butter and other peanut products in the marketplace. The salmonella outbreak will have a short-term negative effect on the industry, but I am confident we can bounce back stronger than ever," Fenn says.

Dear Recording Industry: 'Rampant Piracy' Is Deader Than Your Outdated Metrics
from the the-newest-music-genre:-'post-Napster' dept
Townshend points out some interesting stats on last week's chart toppers.
Last week AC/DC finally allowed their music to be available to buy digitally. Prior to the 19th of November, the only way to own the veteran Aussie rock giant's songs was to buy them on CD, vinyl or cassette. Or to illegally download them.Two tracks, taken from albums released in 1979 and 1980 respectively, broke into the Top 40, three decades after their debut. As Townshend points out, anyone over the past decade-plus could have downloaded these tracks and still had them in perfect working order. It would have taken next to no time at broadband speeds, but despite this piracy "opportunity" (created by AC/DC itself), thousands of fans chose to purchase AC/DC's music from legitimate sources. After a decade of supposed widespread piracy, why would AC/DC's music still be in such high demand?
But no sooner had the group agreed to sell their back catalogue in downloadable form, two of their classic hits entered the Top 40 singles charts (with several more popping up in the Top 75.)
That's not the only anomaly in the charts, either.
This week's top 40 also features a new track from Rihanna's latest album, Unapologetic. And yet the song, Right Now, isn't a record company promoted single. And neither is another of her tracks, Nobody's Business, which went in at number 63. The public have chosen to cherry pick songs from her new album rather than be dictated to by RiRi's promotional team. People power!So, what's happening here? It looks as if the promotional money that labels constantly lament they'll never recoup is going to waste. Rihanna's handlers choose her singles... and the public chooses other tracks they like better. No wonder they're upset. First, the piracy thing, and now this -- a public that won't be told what to buy!
Why is Rihanna's label unable to pick hit singles? Possibly because "singles" don't exist anymore. Singles were an important concept when the endgame was album sales. But the public's not buying albums, they're buying single tracks, a very different creature. Album sales might be at an all-time low, but people are still buying plenty of music. They're just doing it on their own terms.
And the fact that this is happening to music by Rihanna, the biggest pop star in the world right now, is even more significant when you take into account that her last album, 2011's Talk That Talk, managed to return to the number one spot this year with just 9,578 sales – the lowest sales ever recorded for a number one album...Hence, "singles" are no longer something a record company should feel inclined to push on the public. Sure, there's radio airplay for promotion of albums, but even that market is broken up by YouTube, Pandora, Spotify, etc. Instead of a top-down delivery system fervently pushing consumers towards album purchases, it's bubbling back up from the bottom. Radio/labels may expose new artists, but the fans are choosing the tunes they like -- even 30 years down the road.
The structure of an album is a throwback to an analogue age. The number of songs on an album was dictated by the constraints of the physical format they were stored on. But what sense does buying 12 tracks in one go make, when you have memory space for thousands? And why buy that many songs if you only know you like one? You can always buy another later. And another.
The people who bought AC/DC's Back In Black didn't want a whole album of AC/DC songs. They just wanted that one. And the same goes for Rihanna.Album sales may be decimated, but single track sales are huge. The numbers put up by top-selling single tracks are on par with the heyday of the industry. The only difference now is that consumers aren't purchasing the other 7-10 tracks of filler surrounding the songs they like.
And in case you think it only takes a few hundred downloads to get a song in the charts these days, Rihanna and Calvin Harris's We Found Love has sold 6.9 million copies worldwide, so far. And it was only released in September of last year. In fact, a quick look down the list of multi-million sellers shows that singles from 2010 and 2011 shifted units not seen since the 1970s and 80s – the so-called golden age of the pop charts.So, Townshend asks: is piracy dead? Is the industry still holding onto its belief that piracy is the only thing holding them back from the heady days of yesteryear? Maybe it's their metrics. Last year, when the RIAA was pursuing the creators of Limewire in court, its "smoking gun" was a chart that plotted the decline of the recording industry, laying the blame for the steep decline on Napster. The chosen measurement? A mysterious numerical concoction called "Album Sales Per Capita."
If the industry is going to continue to use the album as the yardstick, then yes, sales will never return to the level they once were. When music fans are picking up 3 or 4 tracks for $4-6, then it will never keep pace with the $14-18 they were spending for "bundled" tracks that lumped songs they liked in with songs they could live without. People are buying music in record numbers, but the industry still complains that things ain't the way they used to be. They aren't, but not because of piracy. At least not solely, and certainly not to the extent they claim.
If a band can break a self-imposed, decade-long internet holdout and return to the Top 40 charts three decades after the songs were originally published, then it stands to reason that every person that wanted a free copy of these tracks should already have those safely stowed on their hard drives. But they don't. Or if they do, they wanted to get the "real thing." Either way, people are paying for a lot more music than the industry is willing to give them credit.
Here's how Townshend puts it:
To continue to be told how damaged the music industry is by illegal downloading, while single sales soar, is somewhat galling. It's like when you sit down to watch a DVD and are confronted with doom-laden orders not to buy pirate movies, even thought the only time you ever see such warnings is when you're watching something you've legally purchased. It's like being told off for a crime you've not committed.Hey, if the industry wants to paint a dismal picture using lousy metrics and an outsized sense of entitlement, it's welcome to go right ahead. But don't expect outpourings of sympathy from the public generously putting money in its pockets, despite the easy availability of free options.
Thanks for the trust and gratitude, guys!

HOUSTON — Nothing is ever as it seems for very long in the ongoing saga of Royce White and the Rockets.
Barely half a day after the team issued a release saying the rookie had been assigned to their NBA D-League affiliate Rio Grande Valley Vipers, White issued his own statement that calls that news untrue and questions the sincerity of the Rockets organization.
The information that the Houston Rockets have publicly presented about this situation has been extremely misleading and a lot of times totally inaccurate. An image of support has been presented by the Rockets, but the only logical support here would be listening to the recommendation of the medical professionals involved. That has not totally happened here. I have chosen to not play, because the doctors and I believe it to be unsafe for unqualified Rockets front office personnel to make medical decisions, as they are not mental health professionals.
The 6-foot-8 forward out of Iowa State, who suffers from generalized anxiety disorder, has been at odds with the Rockets due to what he claims is their unwillingness to accommodate his condition. The team had re-worked his contract to make provisions for White to sometimes travel between games by bus, since anxiety about flying is one of the symptoms of his illness.
White did not report to the Rockets' training camp in Hidalgo, Tex, home to the Vipers and, after getting no playing time in the first five games of the regular season, he went AWOL following a game at Memphis on Nov. 9. He remained at odds with the club when management insisted that he attend therapy sessions with a psychologist of their choosing, but has since agreed to terms and evidently been working to heal the wounds.
White resumed working out at the Toyota Center during the past week while the Rockets have been on the road. It was believed that an agreement to go to the D-League was part of a multi-week plan to fully integrate White back into the Rockets organization.

After waiting for right deal, K-Rod eager to help

PITTSBURGH -- Francisco Rodriguez is back, and he can't wait to help the Brewers turn things around.
The 31-year-old was officially activated for Thursday night's game against the Pirates after spending four weeks getting ready following his April Minor League deal.View Full Game Coverage
"I'm extremely happy to be able to wear this uni," Rodriguez said prior to the Brewers' 7-1 loss to the Pirates. "I can't wait to be on the field. It's been a long time. I'm looking forward to staying healthy and helping this ballclub as best as I can."
His first opportunity came quickly, as Rodriguez was called upon to pitch the eighth inning of Thursday night's contest. He pitched a perfect inning, retiring the Pirates' second, third and fourth hitters, and finishing things off by striking out Garrett Jones. Manager Ron Roenicke had hoped to get that first outing out of the way quickly.
"The first one, if we can do it earlier, we'll try to do it earlier," Ron Roenicke said prior to the game. "But the games change so much. Usually, we think too much, and we plan something and it doesn't work out that way. We'll see how the game goes. If other guys are fresh, I may try to keep them in the same role they've been doing, but we'll see."
Rodriguez made four appearances, two in the Florida State League and two with Triple-A Nashville, in what served as both an audition and a chance for Rodriguez to get the work in he normally would have during Cactus League play.
"It was my Spring Training," Rodriguez said. "Usually, I get between 10 and 15 outings. In that period of time, that month, I was just preparing myself to be here. It definitely was a tryout. That's the reality. But at the same time, I was trying to prepare myself, to make sure to be ready to be here."
Rodriguez said he had opportunities to sign with other clubs, some that offered him the chance to go straight to a big league bullpen without the Minor League tryout. But he felt this was the best fit for him, and it was clear that his comfort level with the organization, Roenicke and pitching coach Rick Kranitz played a part in his decision-making process.
"There were a few teams out there, but I was waiting for the right opportunity," Rodriguez said. "I had a few options I could have taken to be at the big league level right away, but I wasn't ready physically to make that commitment.
"I like the ballclub. I really do feel comfortable here. I could've gone elsewhere and taken a big league job. But I didn't. I was just waiting for the right moment. It came and we got it done."
Now that he's here, it remains to be seen what role Rodriguez will ultimately fill in a bullpen that has a 3.59 ERA, good for seventh in the National League, entering Thursday's game. Getting his 2013 debut out of the way was the first step. Rodriguez, for his part, is in no hurry to have a defined role. He's just happy to be back in the big leagues and hopes he can somehow contribute to reversing the Brewers' recent fortunes.
"We just have to put it together, be a little more consistent," Rodriguez said. "Hopefully, me coming in and helping in the 'pen, hopefully it helps. That's my goal, to contribute as much as I can.
"At this point right now, I just want to put zeros up on the board and take a lot of pressure from the guys. I think in the coming days, it will be more clear [what my role will be]. Right now, I just want to be ready when the manager calls."

For years, L.A.-based author Lizzie Garrett Mettler thought "tomboy" was a dirty word.
"I was a definite tomboy when I was a kid," she says. "It was a nightmare for my parents to get me into a dress for a stretch of years."
As she became a teenager and young adult, she pushed that side of herself away. That changed when she started reading street fashion blogs like the Sartorialist and A Cup of Jo, and saw comments from readers who couldn't get enough of Alexa Chung and Lou Doillon's "tomboy style."
Maybe, Mettler thought, there was something to her lifelong fascination with Belgian loafers, tattered Lacoste polos and Barbour...

B.S., University of Maine, College of Forest Resources
M.F., Ph.D., Yale University
Professor Ashton conducts research on the biological and physical processes governing the regeneration of natural forests and on the creation of their agroforestry analogs. In particular, he seeks a better understanding of regeneration establishment among assemblages of closely related trees. His long-term research concentrates on tropical and temperate forests of the Asian and American realms. His field sites within these regions were selected specifically to allow comparison of growth, adaptation, and plasticity within and among close assemblages of species that have evolved within forest climates with differing degrees of seasonality. Findings from these studies have theoretical implications for understanding the maintenance of diversity of tree species in forested ecosystems and the adaptability of forests to change in climate. The results of his research have been applied to the development and testing of silvicultural techniques for restoration of degraded lands and for the management of natural forests for a variety of timber and nontimber products. Field sites include tropical forests in Sri Lanka and Panama, temperate forests in India and New England, and boreal forests in Saskatchewan, Canada.

It's very strange to be sitting in my den at 8:00 a.m. on a Sunday morning!
The past two days, northeastern Ohio received a considerable about of snowfall – nearly 20″ in our area. This is not large for some areas, but for us, at the end of the winter season (with the municipalities run out of road salt), this is a load! Three local counties, including our own, either ordered or requested that people stay off the roads — emergency traffic only.
So, like our neighbors the United Church of Christ congregation, the Foursquare Gospel chapel, the Lutheran parish, and others … we canceled our morning services. (An evening service is as yet undecided.)
For a clergy person, sitting home on a Sunday morning doing nothing is bizarre! In a few minutes, my wife will probably get up — we will read the Daily Office together (which we do every other day of the week), and then we will watch one of the Sunday morning TV news-and-talk shows (probably CBS's Sunday Morning).
This is, I suppose, how many of the 80% of Americans who don't attend religious services spend their Sunday mornings.
I have to admit that I can understand why people would prefer to laze about, relax, not jump out of bed, shower, shave, down a quick cup of java, and rush off to church. (To say nothing of getting the kids out of bed on yet another morning….) Yes, I can understand that.
And yet, I don't understand it, because right now for me there is something missing. The fellowship, the music, the liturgy of Holy Communion, the sense of connection with God and with men and women who share that connection … that's what's missing. An easy morning with the television and the newspaper simply cannot take the place of that connection.
Sunday morning at home just doesn't compare with Sunday morning at church!

Cantonese phrasebook
Cantonese (廣東話 Gwóngdūngwáh) is a widely spoken Chinese language. It is the local language in current use within the province of Guangdong, China, official language in the Special Administrative Region of Hong Kong, as well as in the Special Administrative Region of Macau, and used in many overseas Chinese communities in South-East Asia and elsewhere, with Kuala Lumpur and Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) being two places where Cantonese is the dominant language in a Chinese community that is in turn huge and influential. Cantonese is also the dominant language in many Chinatowns all over the world, including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, New York, Chicago, London, Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Vancouver, Toronto and Kuala Lumpur. The dialect of Chinese spoken by many inhabitants of eastern Guangxi Province in mainland China, is often referred to a form of Cantonese as well.
The word "dialect" means something different when applied to Chinese than it does for most other languages. Chinese "dialects" have not only widely diverging pronunciations of the same words, but also use different words for expressing the same thing, and different grammar such as different word order. As a result, different Chinese dialects can be mutually unintelligible. The difference between one dialect and another can be as small as that between, say, Spanish and Portuguese, or as large as that between German and English. Meanwhile, there are different variations of the Cantonese dialect that differ greatly from one another. For example, the Cantonese spoken in the far west of Guangdong province (eg. Taishan) is hardly or not at all intelligible to a native of Guangzhou city.
Speakers of all Chinese varieties do, in general, use the same characters in reading and writing. Written language is more formal and closer to standard Mandarin Póutūngwáh (Mandarin), even when used by Cantonese speakers. Oral Cantonese contains many words for which there has traditionally not existed a written form. In recent decades, however, characters for many of these words have been created, chiefly by the Hong Kong popular printed media such as newspapers and magazines. It should be noted that the different Cantonese-speaking communities use one of two different forms of writing: in Hong Kong, Macau, Malaysia and many overseas Chinese communities, traditional Chinese characters are in use, whereas the Cantonese-speaking communities in mainland China's Guangdong province as well as Singapore use simplified Chinese characters.
In many cases the regional varieties are not clearly regionalised but vary gradually across a region. Thus linguists can identify anywhere between seven and seventeen separate Chinese languages where the speakers of different dialects are mutually unintelligible. This list is based on the Cantonese spoken in Guangzhou. Note that the Cantonese spoken in Hong Kong and Macau differ slightly due to Western influences, though standard Cantonese as spoken in Guangzhou would be understood by everyone. The Cantonese spoken in Singapore and Malaysia also differ slightly due to Malay influences.
Some of the phrases in the list cannot be translated from English to Cantonese.
Pronunciation guide
The pronunciations given in this guidebook use the Yale Romanization system. Sounds can only be approximated at best using romanisation. This guide gives a general indication of the correct sound to make, but the best way to be completely accurate is to listen closely to native speakers and mimic the sounds they make.
The final consonants p, t, and k are unreleased. This means that they are virtually silent and you hear no "puff of air" at the end of the syllable.
Cantonese is a tonal language. This means that the same syllable, pronounced in a different tone, has a different meaning. To complicate this, there may be more than one character pronounced as the same syllable with the same tone (though this is uncommon). In this case, context usually helps resolve the ambiguity. This may sound daunting, but is in fact is better than say, English, where there are a great deal of words that are spoken identically (eg. their, there, they're) and have nothing but context to help determine which one it is. Cantonese has context and tone to help distinguish words.
Different variations of the Cantonese dialect have a different number of tones, from as few as six to as many as ten or more. Most speakers, however, and all modern linguistic interpretations get by with being able to distinguish (both in spoken and heard Cantonese) between the following six tones:
The tonal pronunciation of Cantonese is by far the most difficult aspect of the often daunting language. The very minor initial difficulty in learning the tones is sometimes more than made up for by simple grammar, and absence of almost all plurals, genders, tenses and forms that make many other world languages seem difficult by comparison.
Phrase list
Clock time
Bus and train
In Cantonese, "train" is translated into 火車 (fóchē) and "bus" is 巴士 (bāsí). The language uses measure words or numeral classifiers before the actual nouns. In context of the following examples, the respective Cantonese measure words for 火車 and 巴士 are 班 (bāan) and 架 (ga).

Oxyl~box (ppc)
You will need to install:
Note: MySQL is not required for Oxyl~box. This is a good way of saving resources on the Linkstation!
Create an Oxylbox directory in apache's DocumentRoot (/mnt/opt/apache/htdocs)
mkdir /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox
Download Oxyl~box from Download. Using your PC copy the oxylbox-V2.50_lin.tar.gz file into the previously created directory (/mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox), then do a changemod
cd /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox chmod a+r /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox
- TODO: Upload a copy of the oxylbox-V2.50_lin.tar.gz file to Linkstation.net upload area (http://downloads.nas-central.org/uploads/) so that a wget can be used to simplify the installation of oxylbox.
untar the oxyl tar file in the directory
tar xzvf oxylbox-V2.50_lin.tar.gz
Change user:group
chown -R nobody:nogroup /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox
Edit the file /mnt/opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf in the following way:
vi /mnt/opt/apache/conf/httpd.conf
Search for and add/alter the following to the file (You will, at the very least, need to change your port to 81 (or some other port) as 80 is the port that the Linkstation uses for its Webinterface.):
-Port: The port to which the standalone server listens. For -ports < 1023, you will need httpd to be run as root initially. Listen 81
-Oxyls Documentroot; set accordingly DocumentRoot "/mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox"
-so that photos/pictures and videos can be displayed Alias /root/ "/"
-Change the group parameter to the following: Group nogroup
You will now be required to replace the nconvert and libformat.so files, that are in the /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin directory, with a ppc compatible nconvert and libformat.so.
Download the xnview rpm, which contains the nconvert and libformat.so.3.87 files.
cd /mnt/misc wget http://gd.tuwien.ac.at/graphics/xnview/XnView-static.ppc.rpm
Unpack the rpm file.
rpm2cpio XnView-static.ppc.rpm | cpio -idv
The above mentioned command parameters -idv creates a 'usr' directory in the /mnt/misc directory. Copy the nconvert file from the /mnt/misc/usr/X11R6/bin directory to the /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin directory. Copy the libformat.so.3.87 file from the /mnt/misc/usr/lib directory to the /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin directory.
cp -R /mnt/misc/usr/X11R6/bin/* /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin cp /mnt/misc/usr/lib/libformat.so.3.87 /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin cd /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin mv libformat.so libformat.soOLD mv libformat.so.3.87 libformat.so
In the above mentioned /mnt/misc/usr/X11R6/bin/ directory are three files, 'nconvert', 'nview', and 'xnview'. Only the nconvert is required, but it doesn't hurt to copy all three files to the /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin directory.
Make a symbolic link for the libformat.so
ln -s /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/bin/libformat.so /bin/libformat.so
The following commands were also required:
find /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox -type f -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 644 find /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox -type d -print0 | xargs -0 chmod 755
chown -R nobody:nogroup /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox
Modify the file functions.inc in the directory /mnt/opt/apache/htdocs/oxylbox/common in the following way (note a " are two single ' ):
A. in the getthumbhref function is needed to submit the original image extension to the do_imgconvert function:
search for
and change it to
B. in the do_imgconvert function initialisation the parameter $org_ext is set to "". Because of this, the if selection would never use the GD lib functions. Since we now submit this parameter (see 1.) we have to remove this initialisation:
search for
function do_imgconvert($orgpfad,$newpfad,$width,$height,$new_ext,$org_ext=",$quali=80,$o_width=0,$o_height=0){
and change it to
function do_imgconvert($orgpfad,$newpfad,$width,$height,$new_ext,$org_ext,$quali=80,$o_width=0,$o_height=0){
C. in the do_imgconvert function a check is done for the image extensions, which can't be converted by nconvert (to use GD Lib only for the unsupported formats by nconvert). Since we are using GD Lib for all extensions, we have to remove this check:
search for
and change it to
D. at last the image creation in do_imgconvert does not work, because the $o_width and $o_height variables are initialised with 0, but not changed afterwards (the same bug like with $org_ext):
search for
and change it to
$img_size= getimagesize($orgpfad);
E. as an additional info - here is my complete version of the image creation (from D.)
$img_size= getimagesize($orgpfad);
$img = imagecreatetruecolor($width,$height);
$ppp =imagecopyresized ($img,$simg,0,0,0,0,$width,$height,$o_width,$o_height);
ImageJPEG($img, $newpfad, $quali);
ImageDestroy($img );
Restart apache
/mnt/opt/apache/bin/apachectl restart
Run it
Using your browser, access oxylbox on your Linkstation via LinkstationIPAddress on port 81
and setup the oxylbox via oxyl-setup. Make sure you set the playlist directory, choose the language, set showcenter ip and last but not least update the software to v36. Update and install all plugins and skins that become visible on setup page after the update to 36.

Another Look At The 'Does File Sharing Equal Stealing?' Question
from the more-than-just-a-semantic-argument dept
Healy comes out on the balanced side himself, suggesting that infringement is close enough to theft. He does so by comparing it to "theft of service" for cable companies, and noting that "you're still acquiring something of value without paying for it, and you're doing it without the seller's permission." This is a commonly used argument, and seems reasonable at a first pass, but I'd like to address why it's incorrect. Just because you acquire something of value for free (and without the original seller's permission) it doesn't automatically make it "theft." Let's run through some examples:
- I go to the pizza shop and they offer me a free soda with two slices. The soda has value, but I just got it for free, and did so without Coca-Cola granting permission. I don't think anyone would claim this is stealing or even wrong or immoral.
- My friend lets me borrow a book, which I read. The book has value. I got it for free, without the permission of the book author or publisher.
- I get on a train and pick up the newspaper that a passenger left behind. The newspaper has value. I got it for free, without the newspaper company granting permission. I don't think anyone would claim that's stealing.
- I go to the beach. The people sitting next to me are playing music on their stereo, that I can hear. The music has value, but I just got it for free, without the permission of the record label.
- I go see "Shakespeare in the Park." I get to see something of great value for free, without permission of William Shakespeare.
- Verizon sees that Sprint is going to announce an "all you can eat plan" and decides to introduce its own similar plan. Verizon got that idea for a bundle from Sprint for "free" and certainly without Sprint's permission. Yet, we call that competition, not stealing.
In fact, each "but, this is different because" explanation for the examples above can easily be turned around to prove the point that copyright is different than real property -- because it applies the same rules differently and deals with fundamentally different types of goods or services. What it really comes down to, yet again, is that this is a business model problem. For years, an industry that relied on artificial scarcity is discovering that it's hard to keep that artificial barrier in place. It can't pretend something is scarce when it's really infinite -- and trying to limit it will only backfire in the long run. What you need to do, instead, is figure out new business models that embrace the infinite nature of the goods, and focus on selling additional scarce goods, preferably additional scarce goods that are made even more valuable by freeing up the infinite good.

Zobrist's two home runs not enough against Reds
CINCINNATI -- The meatloaf still tasted good to Joe Maddon on Sunday. Even though the Rays took a 12-4 loss to the Reds, they claimed the three-game series.

CINCINNATI -- The meatloaf still tasted good to Joe Maddon on Sunday. Even though the Rays took a 12-4 loss to the Reds, they claimed the three-game series.
"Meatloaf is still meatloaf," the Rays manager said. "But chateaubriand would have been nice."View Full Game Coverage
The Reds' bats made sure the Rays would not get the three-game sweep when they erupted during the afternoon affair at Great American Ball Park.
Several times a year, Maddon says "meatloaf" -- specifically, "two-out-of-three ain't bad" -- to rationalize about gaining a series win without nailing down the sweep, which would have been chateaubriand. Nice words, but after allowing just one run in the first two games of the series, the Rays hoped to board their charter for Baltimore with their first sweep of the season.
Instead, the loss moved the Rays to 7-6 on the season and 3-3 on the current nine-game road trip.
"We're playing well," Maddon said. "We just have to start hitting with more consistency. We did not pitch that well today."
If good karma is any indication of things to come, the Rays should have taken Sunday's game going away after the Reds ran themselves out of a big inning in the second.
Cesar Ramos started for the Rays, making his first start since 2012, and he surrendered a bases-loaded double to Zack Cozart with one out in the inning. The Rays got a break when the ball bounced over the wall for a ground-rule double, otherwise the blast likely would have emptied the bases.
The Reds still had runners on second and third when Tony Cingrani stepped to the plate. Maddon elected to play his infield in, and the strategy paid off when the Reds' starter grounded to Yunel Escobar. The Rays' shortstop threw a strike to catcher Ryan Hanigan, who tagged out Devin Mesoraco. Hanigan then threw to Escobar to catch Cingrani in a rundown between first and second.
Once first baseman Sean Rodriguez received the ball, he wisely opted to throw home when he saw Cozart breaking for the plate. Hanigan applied the tag to complete the inning-ending 6-2-4-3-2 double play.
"We've been playing well," Maddon said. "That was a great job by the middle. The rundown with Logan Forsythe and Rodriguez to the plate was outstanding. Hanigan handled everything perfectly. We did everything really well with that. ... Keep this game close and I thought we'd have a better offensive day."
More positive vibes came the Rays' way when Ben Zobrist tied the game at 2 with a two-run homer off Cingrani in the top of the third, but Joey Votto answered for the Reds in the bottom of the third with a 452-foot homer off Ramos that put the Reds up 4-2 and chased Ramos.
Ramos allowed four runs on three hits and three walks in two-plus innings.
"It's a good lineup, and falling behind, you try to miss some bats, that's what I tried to do and maybe I nibbled just a little too much on the corners," Ramos said. "Didn't get those and fell behind."
Brandon Gomes took over for Ramos, and the bleeding continued when Mesoraco clubbed a 443-foot, three-run homer to give the Reds a 7-2 lead. Gomes had not allowed a run in five previous appearances this season.
Cingrani picked up the win after holding the Rays to two runs on five hits and three walks while striking out six in 6 1/3 innings.
"We put some runs on the board there early and kept adding on, which was good, and Tony gave us what we needed," Mesoraco said.
Zobrist added a two-run homer in the seventh off Nick Christiani, this one came from the left side of the plate after his first one came while hitting right-handed.
"Very cool, yeah," said Zobrist, noting that he'd never homered from both sides of the plate at any level. "...Wish the circumstances were a little different. But it's still pretty cool to be able to say I did that in a Major League game."
The last Reds opponent to homer from both sides of the plate in the same game was San Francisco's Randy Winn on Aug. 30, 2008, at Great American Ball Park off pitchers Ramon Ramirez and Bill Bray.
Normally Maddon tells his guys to file away a victory or a defeat after 30 minutes. Sunday, he said they should file it away after 30 seconds.
"They had a three-run homer and a four-run homer today, it's hard to beat those," Maddon said.

The U.S. Department of Energy's Research Support Facility (RSF), in Golden, Colo., is arguably America's most significant building of the last decade, at least in terms of energy consumption.
The 222,000-sf, slanted H-shaped office building, on the site of the DOE's National Renewable Energy Laboratory, is designed to produce as much or more energy than it uses—to be specific, 35 kBtu/sf/year, which is 50% below ASHRAE 90.1-2004. The building, which also includes a data center that serves the entire campus, can accommodate 825 staff; it provides 61% more space to the NREL building stock yet adds only 6% in energy demand (which is provided by PVs). Yet the building itself came in at $57.4 million ($259/sf) in construction costs, with a total contract cost of $64 million, including campus utilities and infrastructure—$288/sf.
More importantly, the Building Team achieved these remarkable numbers through rigorous energy-conservation methods that brought the RSF's energy use down by about 80% compared to a conventional building. Only after all energy-saving strategies were applied were renewable energy sources used. Only readily available, made-in-the-USA products, technologies, and systems were used.
The DOE and NREL held a national design competition to pick the team, setting forth 26 project objectives in a fast-track, multi-bid proposal. Three objectives were deemed "mission critical": a LEED Platinum rating, Energy Star First "Plus," and safe work performance. The other 23 were termed "highly desirable"—such as providing room for up to 800 staff—or "if possible," notably net-zero energy use, "most energy-efficient building in the world," and a LEED Platinum "Plus" rating. Moreover, the project had to demonstrate that a distinctively new class of real estate was feasible and replicable by the private sector.
The winning team, led by design firm RNL and GC Haselden Construction (with engineering from Stantec Consulting), vowed to meet or exceed all 26 objectives. This was risky, since the team would be paid only 50% of the cost of completing the preliminary design; if the DOE didn't like it, the feds could terminate the contract with no additional payment.
The Building Team evaluated and tested a multitude of technologies before choosing the systems that would go into the structure. These included hydronic radiant slab heating and cooling employing 45 miles of piping; a below-grade maze of heavy concrete structures to store thermal energy for passive cooling and heating; a dedicated outside air system that provides fresh air via raised floors when the windows are closed; and a thermally massive exterior wall system using insulated precast tilt-up panels.
Modular workstations, raised floor systems, and demountable walls were tested via full-scale mockups to provide optimal daylighting, thermal comfort and control, sound control, and indoor air quality. Occupied spaces are no more than 30 feet from an operable window. A mechanical system automatically opens a third of the windows on cool summer nights.
Working intensively with subcontractors, the team installed a standing seam metal roof 90 days ahead of schedule so that photovoltaics could be installed on time. Two of the technologies used in the RSF—transpired solar collectors and electrochromic windows—were co-developed by NREL scientists. Nearly 600 windows were placed, many of them crowned with specially designed "bonnets" to control interior heat buildup (see http://www.bdcnetwork.com/article/windows-keep-green-goals-view).
As impressive as the technological innovations were, the real breakthrough had to do with the team's embrace of the DOE performance-based procurement process. In a radical departure from standard DOE procedures, the Building Team negotiated with DOE over a two-month period to redefine standard construction contracts, federal acquisition regulations, and RFP contract terms.
The final contract contained more than a dozen specially crafted clauses, and the new contracting method—performance-based design-build—proved so successful that it has become the new NREL model for subsequent high-performance DOE construction projects, including a new building at NREL that Haselden and RNL are working on. In fact, the team's performance was rated "superior" on each of the 26 objectives, qualifying them for $2 million in contract incentives.
"This would have to be one of the most collaborative projects I've seen in recent years," said Building Team Awards juror Michael Damore, AIA, Executive Managing Director of A/E firm Epstein, Chicago. Said J.A. Detamore, PhD, PE, PMP, Director, NREL Infrastructure and Campus Development, "The level of innovation and creativity that went into this [project] is simply outstanding. The project represents the highest level of partnering I have ever been part of in my 29 years of experience."
The lesson of the NREL Research Support Facility is clear: If the U.S. government can build a net-zero energy office building at market-rate cost, why can't the private sector do so?

May 2, 2008
The Bisons got on the board first, but their offense remained mostly silent on Friday as they were defeated by Winthrop 6-2.
Jorge Gutierrez got the Bisons going, singling to center to lead off the game before ultimately scoring after Caleb Joseph grounded into a double play.
Winthrop finally got to Bisons' starter, Rex Brothers, in the third, plating four runs to take a 4-1 lead. They added to the score with another run in the fourth.
The Bisons pulled a little closer in the seventh, after Shane Simpkins drove in Blake Bratcher with a sacrifice fly to left.
However, Winthrop got the run back in the bottom of the inning, plating another run against Brothers to take a 6-2 lead, the final.
Brothers lasted seven innings, giving up six runs on eight hits while striking out four. He received the loss to drop to 2-4 on the season.
The Bisons tallied just six hits in the game, with Gutierrez and Bratcher accounting for four of them with two each.
The Bisons will return to action tomorrow, May 3, when they take on Winthrop in a double-header, with the first game set to kick off at 2 p.m.

Fun at Stowe
02/22/2009 by: GErald Phelan
A giant resort, Stowe offers almost everything you need for a good time. There's a wide variety of skiing challenges, a couple of base lodges, peak restaurants, eating and lodging facilities. The main lodge is old and like most others, you are always going up and down stairs. Stowe is worse in this regard as one must climb several flights of stairs from the lodge to get to the lifts. The new lodge at Spruce Mt area sports adirondack furniture and huge equipment lockers. No stairs! what a concept! Hopefully the main lodge will receive the upgrade it needs in the near future. Maybe we'll even ge some reasonably priced food too!
I do wish the lift attendants at the gondola would be more proactive. Its anoying to see 4 or 6 persons in an 8 person gondola. Still, the overall experience gets my vote for a return trip.

I used to fastidiously use every single square, fighting whatever I could to keep my health and mana below max. As intuitive as this sounds, it's actually really bad technique. Finding good, high level targets is way, way more important than saving exploration. I will happily burn 30-40% of the map looking for my first 2nd level monster, something I wouldn't have dreamed of as a beginner.
I know what you mean here. It the same for me.
The think which amazes me the most about DD are all these small details and stuff one can learn. Stuff which one can't use in the beginning since one doesn't understand it, Stuff which is totally counterintuitive, and so on.
Will visit now a friend who started playing DD just this weekend, looking forward to see how he plays, probably giving him some hints for the details of the game (which aren't need in the beginning, but which are essential for the vicious dungeons) and also to think about my play-style and what i can learn from him.

Megan has done extensive research to figure out who the real Annie Moore (the first immigrant through Ellis Island) truly was. This week Megan released a photo that she and Annie's relatives have found that they believe to be Annie with her two brothers at Ellis Island the day they arrived in New York. What I love about Megan's articles about Annie is that she does not just make assumptions and say that must be the truth. She is digging for solid evidence in different ways to find the truth.
You can read more about Megan's research on Annie and see the photos of Annie that have surfaced in:

Thought I'd offer a peak at my next two R.E.B.E.L.S. covers. Looking at these here (along with the covers to R.E.B.E.L.S. #10 and Annual #1) I'm detecting a pattern. I seem to somehow have become Giant-Face-Guy.
How did this happen? I have a couple theories but I won't bore you with them. I do, however, pledge the following: a moratorium on enormous visages for the next few months. You heard it here first, True-believer!

Down to the Bones
September 27, 2010
So I have no intention of trying to fake it for you guys. I'm sad. I'm miserably, terribly, fucking-ass sad. Something inside feels like it...kind of cratered last week, so I have no defenses against even the mildest, stupidest everyday sort-of bullshit. I'm getting a zit! I can't find the nail clippers! Ezra only wants Daddy all the time and it hurts my feeeeeeelings. A kid was mean to Noah and I'm the one who burst into tears. Folding laundry dissolves into a fit about gaining weight and clothes not fitting and WHY BOTHER, MAN. WHY EVEN BOTHER.
I wish they sold Xanax or something over the counter, because I can't even deal with getting my ass in to see a doctor. I had a mole removed last week and the effort nearly killed me. I'm supposed to get my hair done in a couple days and I'm all, "I don't want to goooooo, the receptionist is always so chatttttttty." I'm supposed to be planning a birthday party for the boys like, RIGHT NOW but instead I've decided to downsize the current goal to: "Get to the store and buy a package of cookies to send to school on Noah's birthday."
His birthday is on Thursday. I have like, two-and-a-half more days to make the cookies happen. I CAN DO IT. I BELIEVE IN MYSELF! AND IN MY ABILITY TO OUTSOURCE THINGS TO MY HUSBAND.
But I know nobody wants to hear about how sad I am. (SPOILER ALERT: Pretty sad!) Sad is boring! Sad is such a bummer! Sad is just begging for someone to come around and whack me with a dose of I-HAVE-IT-WAY-WORSE-THAN-YOU style perspective, like a sock full of pennies. Plus I sense that this whole "grief process" thing has yet another violent mood swing in store for me ANY MINUTE NOW.
So instead, I'm just going to try to post about the little things that manage to cut through the sad and make me rethink that life plan of going back to bed with a bottle of Syrah and a bendy straw.
Today's thing: Glow-in-the-dark skeleton jammies.
Also, maybe you can include the kid wearing the glow-in-the-dark skeleton jammies.

AMHERST, Mass. - Mathematician Panayotis Kevrekidis at the University of Massachusetts Amherst recently won two international prizes that recognize his work on nonlinear waves and wave equations, which marries mathematics and physics to better understand how fiber optics communication systems work, for example. It may eventually help to make them more stable and robust.
The Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics' activity group on dynamical systems awarded Kevrekidis its John David Crawford Prize for "contributions to our understanding of localized solutions of nonlinear wave equations and for developing these for a variety of applications in nonlinear optics and condensed matter physics including Bose Einstein condensates and granular crystals."
In addition, the Academy of Athens, Greece, recently recognized the UMass Amherst mathematician with its Aristides F. Pallas Prize for his paper on "Nonlinear Waves in Lattices: Past, Present, Future," a review that included the mathematical analysis of dynamical models associated with optical waveguide arrays and granular crystal structures.
Kevrekidis says he thinks of his work as straddling mathematics and physics and always likes to keep in mind how his equations can be tested and applied in the real world. His rigorous mathematical descriptions of solitary wave behavior, for example, their interesting variations and interactions in heterogeneous configurations such as in two different materials, "take our basic understanding further," he says. "So later these calculations can be tested. Already some experiments have observed results that people didn't expect. We can produce states that experimentalists had not seen up to now."
Linear optical systems are chiefly used today for communicating information, but in much the same way that some power is lost when electricity travels along power lines, information can be garbled or lost when flowing along optical fibers, especially over long distances, Kevrekidis explains. More complex, nonlinear optics can strengthen the focus of solitary waves, also known as solitons, so they resist the tendency to disperse and eventually distort the signal.
Kevrekidis studies the stability and dynamics of solitary waves in periodic optical structures and how their discreteness can create robustness. Such nonlinear systems are not yet well understood. Kevrekidis' calculations show how introducing waveguides, that is wafers built into the optical system to channel pulses of information, can lead to the structural robustness of the ensuing solitary waves over long propagation distances.
"We knew that solitary waves are very robust, even if they collide or interact with other things like impurities in the line or other waves," he says. "They preserve their shape and character and keep the bit error rate low even over long distances. I contributed to the analysis and calculations that show that waveguides can help stabilize different families of solitary waves."
The Pallas award recognizes Kevrekidis' thorough mathematical analyses of fiber optics and granular crystals. The latter are chains of beads arranged in a lattice that holds them in a row or a two-dimensional array. The familiar desktop toy with swinging steel balls known as "Newton's cradle" is a simple example of a segment of a granular crystal lattice, he notes.
"You kick one of the beads and examine what kind of a pattern propagates down the chain. It turns out there is a nonlinear traveling wave that is very, very robust and predictable, and our mathematical models can accurately describe it."
His award-winning work describes how waves propagate through an elastic system of individual (granular) particles (balls), their displacement from equilibrium, how far each ball's center moves from its resting center when hit by its neighbor, how the amplitude evolves and the acceleration in relation to the next bead. "We know less about them in higher dimensions so I and my collaborators have also written equations for those situations and we are currently exploring them further," the mathematician notes.
Practically speaking, Kevrekidis says, "Engineers get interested in waves like this, how they are propagated or, perhaps, how they can be stopped. Let's say there is an earthquake, a wave propagating through a chain of heterogeneous materials, or a blast wave. Can I stop the transmission of a wave, like an earthquake or a blast? Or can I perhaps create protective armor that would minimize the effect or absorb the shock of a wave? Those sorts of questions are for engineers, but I like to understand the mathematics part. That's what is fascinating to me."

Madam Speaker, obviously the hon. member is correct. I have been working on this for five years. It was first passed by the House six and a half years ago, and if there is a villain in this story, it is the unelected Senate which has twice failed to pass this law. This law could already have been in place in this country.
I hesitate to mount a great attack on the other place today because I have no idea how its members will deal with future government bills, but I hope they will deal with this expeditiously and respect the will of the House and make sure this becomes law as soon as possible.

Wireless Networks Will Spread to New Applications and Platforms
The global adoption of wireless networks, excluding cellular, could top $33 billion by 2007, according to a recent report by Allied Business Intelligence (ABI), an Oyster Bay, N.Y., research firm. Along with advanced 2.5G and 3G cellular networks, other technologies such as wireless local area networks (WLAN), Bluetooth, radio frequency identification (RFID), and ultra wideband (UWB) networks are coming to the forefront. Wireless technologies are commonly used for voice communications, but they are now penetrating new applications and platforms. For example, RFID can remotely identify crates, boxes, and individual items through smartlabels. According to ABI research, these applications currently represent 1% of total RFID transponder shipments, but by 2007, they will represent about 46%.
Fiber-to-Home Market Could Reach More Than 1 Million by 2004
Can you say new business opportunity? Although only 1% of all new homes in the United States are now built with an available fiber connection, a recent study from the Fiber-to-the-Home (FTTH) Council shows that the number of homes built with a fiber connection will increase by 337% in 2003 from 72,100 homes to 315,000 homes. By 2004, FTTH installations are expected to reach between 800,000 and 1.4 million. The study also found that the market for broadband technologies like DSL and cable modem are growing at a rate of about 72% a year. With new housing starts at an all-time high, this is one market you can't ignore.
Demand for Micropower to Increase by 10% Annually Through 2006
The U.S. market for micropower products and systems is expected to reach $6.5 billion by 2006. The Freedonia Group, Inc., a Cleveland-based industrial market research firm, found that advancing technologies in the fuel cell and microturbine market will reduce the costs per kilowatt of capacity installed. An increased demand for energy will also boost the photovoltaics and wind power market. The table above shows the past and future growth rate of micropower.
