Summary: New research from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute offers new hope to obese and normal weight employees. Their study showed significant health benefits may be gained at the office by regular intervals of movement designed to break up periods of prolonged sitting.
New research from the Baker IDI Heart and Diabetes Institute reported recently in Diabetes Care (a publication of the American Diabetes Association) has shown that overweight and obese employees who regularly sit for long periods of time could improve their health by adding regular activity breaks into their daily schedule. TrekDesk treadmill desks allow activity through out the day without the need to pull employees away from regular office tasks.
The Baker IDI researchers measured the blood glucose levels at various intervals in obese study participants following a high calorie meal. The study found that employees were much more effective in their body's control of both glucose and insulin levels when performing regular two minute regimens of either light or moderate intensity activities such as walking.
This finding is significant since spikes in glucose and blood sugars are known to cause a vast number of severe health problems over time, including: cardiovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and diabetes.
Lead researcher Dr. David Dunstan explained the significance of their findings to Diabetes Care: "In a controlled laboratory environment that mimicked the typical patterns of desk-bound office workers, participants who interrupted their sitting time with regular activity breaks, showed up to 30 per cent improvement in the body's response to a meal containing glucose. The good news is that the improvements were seen even with light-intensity activity, which is the equivalent of strolling."
"Our research has already shown that sitting for long periods can be hazardous to health. Sedentary behaviour is also a risk factor for chronic diseases, including some cancers. The results of this study now provide some direction about what activity can be undertaken to break up sitting time and counteract the negative effects of sitting for long periods, including the frequency of breaks required to improve health outcomes."
Dr. Dunstan was quick to add that the health dangers of sitting were not confined to merely the overweight and obese nor specifically to office environments. "The findings are not confined to people who are overweight and suggest that even people who are not overweight could benefit from breaking up their sitting time."
The researchers found that light intensity exercise was just as beneficial as moderate intensity exercise in delivering healthy results. The mere act of standing up and walking around the office was sufficient to impart the myriad benefits found in the study.
"Our bodies clearly need continuous activity through out the day, study after study confirms this," stated Steve Bordley, CEO of TrekDesk Treadmill Desks. "We have been sounding this alarm since 2008 that employees need to keep moving to stay healthy and to increase productivity."

When persisting a class, a persistence solution needs to know how to persist the types of each field in the class. Clearly a persistence solution can only support a finite number of Java types; it cannot know how to persist every possible type creatable. The JPA specification define lists of types that are required to be supported by all implementations of those specifications. This support can be conveniently split into two parts
An object that can be referred to (object reference, providing a relation) and that has an "identity" is termed a First Class Object (FCO) . DataNucleus supports the following Java types as FCO
An object that does not have an "identity" is termed a Second Class Object (SCO) . This is something like a String or Date field in a class, or alternatively a Collection (that contains other objects). The table below shows the currently supported SCO java types in DataNucleus. The table shows
Note that support is available for persisting other types depending on the datastore to which you are persisting
You can add support for other basic Java types quite easily, particularly if you can store it as a String or Long and then retrieve it back into its object form from that - See the Java Types plugin-point You can also define more specific support for it with RDBMS datastores - See the RDBMS Java Types plugin-point
You could try to persist Eclipse EMF models using the Texo project to generate POJOs

Wednesday Last Day for Voter Registration Drives
MADISON, WI – Wednesday is the last day for voter registration drives and mail-in registration in Wisconsin, but voters can continue to register in their municipal clerk's office, as well as at the polling place on Election Day.
"Open registration closes this year on October 17, so registration forms need to be postmarked or hand-delivered to the municipal clerk's office by then," said Kevin J. Kennedy, Wisconsin's chief election official. "But there are many more opportunities for voters to get registered."
Wisconsin has 3,467,021 registered voters, and a voting age population of 4,378,741.
Kennedy encouraged voters who need to register or update their registration to go to MyVote.WI.gov, the state's new voter information website. On the website, they can start the registration process online by filling out a registration form. Voters can print the form, sign it and deliver it to the clerk's office by Friday, November 2. They can also bring it with them to the polls on Election Day.
After the open registration period, voters must show a proof of residence document to complete their registration. That can include a valid driver license or state ID card with a current address. Anyone who does not have a DL or ID card can use a number of other documents that include the person's name and current address. Acceptable documents include a residential lease, a utility bill (including telephone or cell phone), property tax bill, bank statement (not a credit card bill), paycheck, or other government-issued check or document. A full list is available at MyVote.WI.gov.
Elections Division Administrator Nat Robinson reminded voters that "early voting" starts soon. Voters will be able to cast in-person absentee ballots in the clerks' office starting Monday, October 22 through Friday, November 2. Voters should check with their municipal clerk's office for office hours. Some clerks in smaller towns may not have regular office hours, but can arrange in-person absentee voting by appointment.
Voters can find their local clerk's contact information at MyVote.WI.gov.

Apparently attracted to electrical equipment, the ants invade by the millions and can shut down anything from computer systems and communications networks to hospital data bases and airport security control panels, he said. Repairs might cost millions.
IRVING, Texas—The National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association wants to know if your company's electronic security system helped save a life, avert property damage, or prevent a crime. The NBFAA is soliciting entries for its 2009 First Line of Defense Award, which recognizes a security company's actions in a specific incident in which the right response saved a life, prevented property damage or loss, or otherwise prevented a crime.
If your story is selected, you and your customer will win a free trip to the awards ceremony. Plus, your story will be featured in NBFAA publications and your company will receive a local and national publicity campaign.
"The First Line of Defense awards a company that represents what our security industry is all about—protecting people and property,†said Brink's Home Security spokesman Dave Simon, who is NBFAA public relations committee chairman, in an email interview. "The winner each year is selected based on a number of factors, often for having saved the life of a homeowner.â€
Interested security companies can write their story and send it to the NBFAA for a chance to win the 2009 award to be given at the 2009 Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Baltimore, Md.
Applicants must be current NBFAA members in good standing, or apply for membership at the time of the award submission to qualify for the award. The incident must have occurred between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008. All entries must be postmarked by March 14, 2009.
"In a typical year, we tend to get five to ten entries,†Simon said. "We'd love to see that number increase.â€
A copy of the complete rules, judging criteria, and additional required forms can be downloaded at the NBFAA's website www.alarm.org. Questions on the contest rules can be directed to Laurie Knox at (888) 447-1689 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Our Security Segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells a wide range of products. The Company's primary focus in the Security Segment is the sourcing and selection of electronic surveillance products and components that it produces and sells, primarily to installing dealers, system integrators, retailers and end users. Other products in our Security Segment include, but are not limited to, less-than-lethal Mace defense sprays, personal alarms, high-end digital and machine vision cameras and imaging components, as well as video conferencing equipment and security monitors. The main marketing channels for our products are industry shows and publications, outside sales representatives, catalogs, internet and sales through telephone orders. Revenues generated for the year ended December 31, 2008 for the Security Segment were comprised of approximately 35% from our professional electronic surveillance operation in Florida, 43% from our consumer direct electronic surveillance and machine vision camera and video conferencing equipment operation in Texas, and 22% from our personal defense and law enforcement aerosol operation in Vermont.
The decrease in revenues within the Security Segment in 2008 was due to several factors. The majority of the decrease in sales was from decreases in sales of our consumer direct electronic surveillance division, our professional electronic surveillance operation and our machine vision camera and video conferencing operation. Our Vermont personal defense operations sales remain consistent between years. The decrease in sales of our consumer direct electronic surveillance, machine vision camera and video conference equipment operations, and our professional electronic surveillance operation was due to several factors, including the impact on sales of increased competition and the impact of management's completion of its consolidation of the Security Segment's electronic surveillance equipment operations from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to the Farmers Branch, Texas warehouse. The consumer direct electronic surveillance and professional electronic surveillance division had a decrease in sales due to a delay in introducing new product lines during 2008. In the latter part of 2008 sales also decreased due to a reduction in spending by certain of our customers impacted by the deteriorating economy.

Paul Fidalgo has a post on the next Women in Secularism, and how the last one didn't actually eat your baby.
By now it's clear, I'd say, that the Women in Secularism conference put on by CFI this past May was a milestone event in the secular movement's history, as it raised consciousness for all in attendance—men and women—about all manner of issues affecting women both in and outside the secular and skeptic communities. Discussions and debates were spurred on a huge variety of subjects, from the personal to the political, and even if you had only been able to attend one session, you could not have walked away without a deeper understanding of what was being discussed.
It was such a success, that we're thrilled to be able to say that a second Women in Secularism conference will take place May 17-19, 2013. After all, there's so much more to talk about!
Mark your calendar!
But like many important events, some of this past conference's content has been mischaracterized or misunderstood, especially by some who were not in attendance. That's understandable; the conference sparked an enormous amount of ongoing discussion that continues today, well after the hotel staff kicked us out of the ballroom. Naturally, chatter on blogs and in tweets can be misconstrued or poorly expressed, and even the smartest and best-intentioned of us can draw the wrong conclusions.
And that's especially true when the worst-intentioned of us are deliberately talking shite on the subject and misleading the underinformed and gullible. That has been happening. I have watched some of it happening right in front of my astonished eyes.
The main point of contention that we've seen revolves, predictably, around the topic of sexual harassment. (I know, you can't get enough of this subject. Me neither. Just stick with me here.) If I may briefly sum up the idea underlying the biggest misunderstanding, it seems that many are under the impression that the sexual harassment issue—and more specifically, policing sexual harassment—was a central theme of the sessions, with most folks acceding to some kind of draconian solution to eradicate the problem altogether.
So not true. I can't begin to tell you how not right that is. We talked about a squillion other things! My god, sexual harassment is boring; why would we have spent the whole time talking about it? And didn't those people read my live blogging? Or Ashley's, which was so vastly more thorough than mine? You can see what we talked about, and it wasn't sexual harassment, except for one thing that Jen said.
It won't be the only or main or large proportionally subject next year, either. I know that because I know the people organizing it aren't stupid.

Subwoofers: Separating the Best From the Rest
I was testing some subwoofers the other day when something wonderful dawned on me. I realized that at long last, we have an easy way to separate the serious subwoofer manufacturers from the not-so-serious.
The tests I was doing involved CEA-2010 output measurements. CEA-2010 measures the maximum usable output of a subwoofer at six different bass frequencies. As I've written before, it's by far the most useful test you can perform on a subwoofer.
Not only does CEA-2010 tell you the maximum output at those six different frequencies, it lets you see if a sub is tuned for, say, a relatively flat power output throughout the bass region, or maximum power at higher frequencies (50 or 63 Hz) but little or no output at 20 or 25 Hz.
CEA-2010 sets certain maximum thresholds for distortion harmonics. If you're measuring the output at, say, 40 Hz, the 2nd harmonic at 80 Hz has to be at least -10 dB below the level of the 40 Hz fundamental tone. The 3rd harmonic has to be at least -15 dB below the fundamental, and so on. The higher the harmonic, the lower its acceptable maximum level, because higher harmonics are more readily audible.
My realization came when I was measuring a subwoofer that made some nasty buzzing noises. The noises, which were relatively high in frequency, caused the sub to exceed the maximum threshold CEA-2010 sets for upper distortion harmonics at a lower output level than if those noises weren't there. But the noises weren't the result of distortion. They were the result of either some mechanical noise inside the sub — i.e., something vibrating inside — or air turbulence around the port. "They definitely didn't do CEA-2010 on this one," I thought to myself.
If the manufacturer had done CEA-2010 measurements on that sub, they'd have found the problem and probably could have fixed it. It's not like 2nd or 3rd harmonics, which are caused by the speaker or the amplifier exceeding its capabilities. To fix excess 2nd or 3rd harmonics in a subwoofer, the manufacturer may have to spend a lot more money on a better driver or a more powerful amp. But fixing problems at higher frequencies may require just a minor mechanical tweak that adds little to production cost.
Thus, if the manufacturer of your subwoofer publishes CEA-2010 results, you know the subwoofer has been fully tested and optimized for the maximum performance its driver and amp can deliver.
Performing CEA-2010 measurements isn't particularly expensive; if a freelance reviewer like me can afford it, so can a manufacturer. Total cost of the gear and software I use is about $1,450 plus a PC to run the software on. (The website Audioholics uses a very similar rig, as do the manufacturers I've talked with.) A manufacturer can even do the test with nothing more than inexpensive spectrum analyzer software and a cheap measurement microphone; the results won't be as consistent as using the CEA-2010 testing software, but they'll be adequate. Even just running the CEA-2010 test tones (available on my website) through a subwoofer and cranking it up can reveal a sub's flaws and limits in seconds.
However, it seems most manufacturers don't perform CEA-2010 tests, and even fewer publish the results. In fact, I could find only one company that publishes CEA-2010 results on its website: Polk Audio. You rock, Polk.
I also know from speaking with the people at Hsu Research, SVSound, and Velodyne that those companies do CEA-2010 measurements. However, while these manufacturers sometimes share their CEA-2010 results on online forums, they don't currently publish the results on their websites.
Instead of publishing CEA-2010 results, manufacturers typically cite a meaningless maximum output number. Let's say a sub is rated at 115 dB max output. Well, at what frequency? At what level of distortion? At what distance?
It's time for this to change. Despite my past complaints about CEA-2010's repeatability, there's no other test that so quickly and accurately gauges the quality of a subwoofer. Every manufacturer should be doing this test on all of its subwoofers — and publishing the results in the product specifications. If they do, you know they're serious about their subwoofers. If they don't. . .

ROADBLOCK: Hard-boil eggs using a hot springsNot only did the Roadblock finally make its debut first, the egg cooking concluded itself as a really great task. To pass, you need to have an immense amount of patience. (That is key.) You must wait a proper amount of time to boil eggs since the temperature is unknown, and if your eggs are still raw or still containing runny yolks, you must go back down to the rocky springs and wait longer to hit the right consistency. I was surprised how the guys who did the Roadblock first didn't utilize the "spin method" of trying to cook raw eggs. To see spin method, click on the "Show content" bar : Show contentSPIN METHOD: To determine if eggs are thoroughly hard-boiled or not, spin an egg on a flat surface. If the egg wobbles, the yolk is not fully cooked. If the egg comes to a stop like a ceiling fan, they are boiled properly.)ROADBLOCK SCORE: 10/10

Ernst Schröder's parents were Heinrich Georg Friedrich Schröder and Karoline Walther. They were married on 9 September 1840 in Haunsheim, a district of Dillingen in Bavaria. Heinrich Schröder was born in Munich on 28 September 1810, studied at the University of Munich and became a professor of physics in high schools. He worked first at the Polytechnic School in Munich, then the Lyceum in Solothurn and, at the time Ernst was born, he was professor of physics and chemistry at the Higher Bürgerschule in Mannheim. He was very influential in encouraging the teaching of science in the gymnasiums and colleges in the district. His wife Karoline was the daughter of a pastor from Haunsheim and her father, Johann Gottfried Walther (1785-1852), tutored Ernst for two years when he was young. In fact Ernst lived with his grandfather during these two years. The Rev Walther gave his grandson an exceptionally good basic education with particular emphasis on the study of Latin. Of course Ernst's father was also a big influence on his son and, given what we have said about the work Heinrich Schröder did in fostering science education, it will come as no surprise to learn that he was a major influence on his son taking up a career in science. Ernst was the eldest of his parents four children: Clara was born in 1842; Heinrich was born in 1845 and became the director of a bank; and Walter was born in 1850 and became a businessman. After tutoring by his grandfather, Ernst studied at several different schools in Mannheim where he showed exceptional abilities in languages, chemistry, and mathematics. In 1856, when he was fifteen years old, he entered the Lyceum in Mannheim and he studied there for four years, graduating in 1860.
After graduating from the Mannheim Lyceum, Schröder entered the University of Heidelberg. He studied mathematics under Otto Hesse, physics under Gustav Kirchhoff and chemistry under Robert Bunsen. Heidelberg was an exciting place at this time with Kirchhoff and Bunsen making fundamental advances analysing the spectrum of elements. Both Kirchhoff and Bunsen had been students of Hesse. While Schröder was undertaking research with Hesse as his advisor, several other students, who would soon become famous, were also undertaking doctoral studies with Hesse at Heidelberg. For example, Adolph Mayer (doctorate in 1861) and Heinrich Weber (doctorate in 1863) were students of Hesse at the same time as Schröder, while Olaus Henrici arrived in Heidelberg to begin his studies in 1862. The Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg awarded Schröder a doctorate in 1862 for his thesis Über die Vielecke von gebrochener Seitenzahl oder die Bedeutung der Stern-Polygone in der Geometrie. Ⓣ In his thesis he writes:-
The extension of the power concept, originally only associated with integers, to rational fractions has been very fruitful in algebra; this suggests that we should try to do the same thing in geometry whenever the opportunity presents itself.Among examples of fractional powers, he goes on to define p/q -sided polygons.
Hesse had been a professor at Königsberg before being appointed to Heidelberg and Kirchhoff and Bunsen had both been his students at Königsberg. Franz Neumann had been the professor of physics at Königsberg at that time and had also taught Kirchhoff and Bunsen. Hesse had taught Carl Neumann, Franz Neumann's son, so with these strong links between Franz Neumann and the staff at Heidelberg, it is little surprise that after the award of his doctorate Schröder went to Königsberg to spend two years studying mathematical physics with Franz Neumann and mathematical analysis with F J Richelot.
In 1864, after his two years in Königsberg, Schröder took the examinations to qualify him to teach mathematics and natural sciences in gymnasiums. He took these state examinations in Baden-Baden, but then went to Zürich where he submitted his habilitation thesis to the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule in 1865. Dipert [12] speculates that his reasons for going to Zürich may not have been entirely academic ones since he was a very enthusiastic mountain climber and made a number of difficult ascents without a guide during his time in Switzerland. Having qualified as a lecturer, he taught for a while as a Privatdozent at the Eidgenössische Technische Hochschule. Returning to Germany, he took further state teaching examinations in Baden-Baden in October 1869 and was teaching there when the Franco-Prussian War broke out in 1870. Schröder volunteered for the army and, despite his poor eyesight, he was accepted. His period of active service was, however, quite short, for towards the end of 1870 the Ministry of Education in Baden requested he return to take up an appointment as professor of mathematics and the natural sciences at the Realgymnasium in Baden-Baden. The Black Forest was rather different from the Swiss Alps, but Schröder took full advantage of the area making many long hikes during his years in Baden-Baden. In 1874 he was named a full professor at the Technische Hochschule in Darmstadt. He remained there for two years, moving to the Technische Hochschule in Karlsruhe in 1876. It is almost certain that this move came about because of Jacob Lüroth. Like Schröder, Lüroth grew up in Mannheim and the two became friends while at school there. Lüroth had been appointed professor of mathematics at the Technische Hochschule in Karlsruhe in 1869 and his signature is on Schröder's letter of appointment. Schröder remained at Karlsruhe for the rest of his career, being made Director of the Technische Hochschule for the year 1890-91.
Ernst Schröder's important work is in the area of algebra, set theory and logic. His work on ordered sets and ordinal numbers is fundamental to the subject. However, he never considered himself to be a logician, as Peckhaus points out [22]:-
His very own object of research was absolute algebra in respect to its basic problems and fundamental assumptions. What was the connection between logic and algebra in Schröder's research? ... one could assume that these fields belong to two separate fields of research, but this is not the case. They were intertwined in the framework of his heuristic idea of a general science.In fact Schröder started out being interested in mathematical physics, and his move towards logic was simply an attempt to deepen its foundations. Early in his career he wrote an important article Über iterirte Functionen Ⓣ (1871) often cited as a basis of modern dynamical systems theory. Now one sees Schröder moving towards logic with Lehrbuch der Arithmetik und Algebra für Lehrer und Studierende Ⓣ published by Teubner in 1873. Ivor Grattan-Guinness [5] writes:-
In the subtitle he mentioned 'the seven algebraic operations': addition and subtraction at the 'first level', multiplication and division at the second, and exponentiation, roots and logarithms at the third. ... he put forward mathematics as 'the doctrine of numbers', rather than of magnitudes; and he stressed the algebraic bent by seeking 'absolute algebra' of which common algebra was an example.In 1874 he published Normale Elemente der absoluten Algebra Ⓣ which was written for use in the school in Baden-Baden (although it is difficult to believe that he had students capable of appreciating the ideas in this small book) and in it he continued to develop the ideas from the previous publication. He wrote his first work on mathematical logic Der Operationskreis des Logikkalkuls Ⓣ, influenced by George Boole and Hermann Grassmann, in 1877. It contained, for the first time, the formulation of the duality principle, and emphasised the duality of conjunction (intersection) and disjunction (union) showing how dual theorems could be found. He was the first to use the term 'propositional calculus' and seems to be the first to use the term 'mathematical logic'. In fact he compares algebra and Boole's logic saying:-
There is certainly a contrast of the objects of the two operations. They are totally different. In arithmetic, letters are numbers, but here, they are arbitrary concepts.In Vorlesungen über die Algebra der Logik Ⓣ, a large work published between 1890 and 1905 (it was edited and completed by Eugen Müller after his death), Schröder gave a detailed account of algebraic logic, provided a source for Alfred Tarski to develop the modern algebraic theory and gave an extensive bibliography of the history of logic. Lattice theory also grew out of this work. Brady writes [3]:-
It offers the first exposition of abstract lattice theory, the first exposition of Dedekind's theory of chains after Dedekind, the most comprehensive development of the cakculau of relations, and a treatment of the foundations of mathematics in relation calculus that Löwenheim in 1940 still thought was as reasonable as set theory. Schröder's concept of solving a relational equation was a precursor of Skolem functions, and he inspired Löwenheim's formulation and proof of the famous theorem that every sentence with an infinite model has a countable model, the first real theorem of modern logic.Schröder said his aim was (see for example [22]):-
... to design logic as a calculating discipline, especially to give access to the exact handling of relative concepts, and, from then on, by emancipation from the routine claims of natural language, to withdraw any fertile soil from "cliché" in the field of philosophy as well. This should prepare the ground for a scientific universal language that, widely differing from linguistic efforts like Volapük [a universal language like Esperanto, very popular in Germany at the time], looks more like a sign language than like a sound language.Schröder had a very high opinion of Charles Sanders Peirce. The two corresponded but Peirce showed a more mixed attitude towards Schröder, sometimes praising him while on other occasions he was highly critical. Brady writes [3]:-
Schröder developed Peirce's relative calculus much further and much more systematically than did Peirce. Schröder considered quantifiers (or, at least, sums and products equivalent to quantifiers for a fixed domain) in first- and higher-order logic. He understood that there are notions such as countability that are beyond relative calculus (and also beyond first-order predicate logic).Dipert [12] gives an interesting account of Schröder's character which he compares with that of Peirce:-
As concerns Schröder's personality, Schröder was apparently an extremely even-tempered and gentle man. All his biographers attest to this fact, and these qualities are shown conspicuously in his correspondence with Peirce, and his generosity toward Christine Ladd-Franklin and her young daughter, Margaret. The Vorlesungen is, rather unusual for the times, careful to note the work of others and never takes vague credit for what was in fact others' work. While Peirce overall praised Schröder, he nevertheless sometimes ferociously attacked him, in print and in private correspondence. Schröder venerated Peirce, however, and had in abundance what Peirce acknowledged he lacked: self-control.Putman shows the respect which Schröder was held in a hundred years after he completed the work [25]:-
When I started to trace the later development of logic, the first thing I did was to look at Schröder's 'Vorlesungen über die Algebra der Logik', ... [whose] third volume is on the logic of relations (Algebra und Logik der Relative, 1895). The three volumes immediately became the best-known advanced logic text, and embody what any mathematician interested in the study of logic should have known, or at least have been acquainted with, in the 1890s.However, as Wussing writes in [1], this respect for Schröder was not nearly so evident in his own day:-
Schröder participated in the development of mathematical logic as an independent discipline in the second half of the nineteenth century. This is his real achievement, although his contribution was not recognised until the beginning of the twentieth century. Three factors account for the delay: the imature state of the field during his lifetime; a certain prolixity in his style; and, above all, the isolation imposed by his teaching in technical colleges. As a result he was an outsider, at a disadvantage in chosing terminology, in outlining his argumentation, and in judging what mathematical logic could accomplish.Schröder had many sporting hobbies: cycling, hiking, swimming, ice-skating, horseback riding, and gardening. Because he was always seen riding his bicycle around Karlsruhe he was known locally as the 'Bicycle-professor'. He even took up skiing when he was sixty years old. He never married but seemed to find that his duties in the Technische Hochschule Karlsruhe extremely demanding, perhaps because he undertook them very conscientiously. Certainly he found it very difficult to find the necessary time to complete his major three volume work Vorlesungen über die Algebra der Logik Ⓣ. Schröder's father Heinrich retired in 1873 and, a year after his wife Karoline died in 1875, he moved to Karlsruhe to be close to his sons Ernst and Heinrich; Heinrich Schröder died in 1885. Given what a fit man Ernst Schröder was, it is surprising that he died at the age of 60. He was skiing and cycling days before his death, but caught a cold. This seemed to worsen over the course of a few days and he died of "brain fever" according to the death certificate. Many of his friends felt that his strenuous sporting life at the age of sixty had led to his premature death. He was buried in the main cemetery of Karlsruhe quite close to the apartment in which he had lived. Having no close relatives to continue tending his grave, following the usual custom it was reused after a period of 30 years so today there is no record remaining in the cemetery.
It is interesting to note that in June 1913 Norbert Wiener presented his doctoral thesis to Harvard University; Wiener was then 18 years old. The thesis was devoted to a comparison of the logical systems of Ernst Schröder and Bertrand Russell, with special attention to their different treatments of relations. There is an interesting discussion of this and subsequent developments in [15].

Nationwide Real Estate Sign Supplier trusted by
Hole Pattern Measurement Guide
When you think of ordering your new signs, the hole pattern might not be top of mind. The hole pattern is the location of holes in your sign, and is something that you need to consider each time you order.
We've put together this web page to help explain the importance of the hole patterns, why patterns are different for frames and posts, how holes are measured, and how to order custom holes if needed.
Holes are typically drilled/punched into your signs so that they can be assembled with your frames or hung from your posts. In order for you to install your signs to your frames or posts properly, the hole patterns must match.
Unfortunately there is no "universal" hole pattern used by all sign suppliers. Each of the major suppliers have developed their own hole patterns. If you are using sign panels from one supplier, and frames or posts from another supplier, then there is the chance that the holes in your sign will not match those in your posts and frames. This will prevent you from being able to display your signs properly.
Hole patterns also differ based on how you use your signs. The hole patterns used when installing your panels into angle iron or round rod frames can differ from the hole patterns used to hang your signs from posts.
If you purchase your sign panels as well as your frames or posts from Oakley Signs & Graphics, then you will just need to specify how your panels will be used, and we'll know which hole pattern to use for your signs.
The first option is our "Standard Hole Pattern", used when assembling your panels with any of our angle iron or round rod frames.
The second option is our "Swinger Hole Pattern", used when hanging your panels from any of our posts or crossarm stakes.
It is also possible to request "no holes" when the panel can slide into a frame, and does not need to be bolted in.
If you order signs to fit frames or posts from a different supplier, you will need to supply us with that hole pattern. If you do not know the specifics of the hole pattern, you will need to measure the pattern on the frames or posts you intend to use. If your panels are being installed by a professional sign installer, simply ask the installation company to provide the hole pattern they prefer. All measurements must be provided to Oakley in U.S. standard sizes and 1/8" increments.
Start by measuring the top holes. Measure the distance from the center of the first hole to the center of the second hole. If there are more than 2 holes on the top, then take this measurement for the 2 holes closest to the center of your sign. Make a note of this distance in inches as "total inches on center." For instance, if the distance between the center of the 2 holes is 19 inches, then make your note as "Inside holes are 19 inches on center".
If there are more than 2 holes on the top of the sign, then measure the next set of holes by measuring the distance from the outside edge of the sign, to the center of the outside holes. Make your note for these outside holes as "total distance from side edge." So if the distance from the outside edge to the center of the outside hole is 3 inches, then you make your note as "Outside holes are 3 inches from side edge."
Next, you need to measure the distance from the top edge of your sign to the center of the top holes. This measurement will be noted as "total distance from top edge." So if the distance from the top edge to the center of the top holes is 3/8 inch, then you make your note as "Top holes are 3/8 inches from top edge."
Finally, we will need to know the diameter of your holes. By default we include our Standard 5/16" diameter holes for all custom hole patterns. We can also provide 1/8" and 1/2" diameter holes if requested.
You will now repeat this exact process to measure the holes in the bottom of your sign. Once you have done this, you can supply this complete list of information with your order and we will be able produce your signs with this custom hole pattern.
If you plan to use your signs as "hanging signs" from posts or are supplying your signs to a professional sign installer, you will want to request that grommets be installed in the top holes to give them added protection from tearing and bending. Please note: Due to the additional labor involved with custom holes and extra grommets, additional charges may apply.
The Oakley Signs & Graphics hole patterns vary based on the width of the signs, the sign material, how the sign will be used, and in some cases they are unique to specific products. You can view a complete chart of our hole patterns at https://www.oakleysign.com/hole_pattern.php, which outlines full details of our hole patterns including those used with our specialty products.

SP6737 : Stowe Park, athletics track
taken 9 years ago, near to Dadford, Buckinghamshire, Great Britain
This is 1 of 2 images, with title Stowe Park, athletics track in this square
Stowe house and grounds
Stowe house and gardens were all about prestige and making a statement. As the Stowe guide book describes it, power gardening. They were enlarged and developed in three phases by Richard, Viscount Cobham and his nephew Richard, Earl Temple from about 1700 to 1760.
Significant practitioners in the development included the architects Sir John Vanbrugh and James Gibbs, and the gardeners Charles Bridgeman and William Kent. Lancelot Capability Brown was head gardener here from 1741 to 1751, which made his reputation. In the 18th and 19th centuries the house and gardens were internationally known and renowned and were some of the first gardens that people visited as tourists for their own pleasure.
By the 20th century the family had become bankrupt and in 1921 sold the estate to become Stowe School, Englands newest public school. Today the gardens are maintained by the National Trust and are open to the public. The house is owned by a Preservation Trust, under the auspices of the English Historic Houses Association, used by Stowe School and open to the public at restricted times throughout the year.

A Virginia mother who left her 8-month-old baby boy in a hot car for about 6 hours has been charged with felony child neglect.
Arlington County police arrested Zoraida Magali Conde Hernandez, 32, of Alexandria, on Saturday. She is currently being held on no bond at the Arlington County Detention Facility.
Police said Hernandez drove her Arlington workplace around 9 a.m. Friday and forgot she had left her son, Nathan, in the car. She left work around 3:30 p.m. and drove to pick up her 2-year-old daughter from daycare in Alexandria, according to charging documents. At that point she found Nathan still in his carseat. The baby was not breathing.
Hernandez immediately drove to INOVA Alexandria Hospital. The baby was pronounced dead a short time later.
Nathan had a body temperature of 108 degrees, the charging documents state.
Hernandez is due back in court Wednesday morning.
Police recommend that parents of young children be extra careful during hot summer months. "Slow down and be careful.... Try not to let things get too busy," said Lt. Mark Bergin of the Alexandria Police Department.
Also on Friday, a 16-month-old girl died after being left in a car for about four hours in Baltimore.
According to KidsAndCars.org, approximately 38 children die from being trapped inside hot cars every year.

The Air Force Network Integration Center will go through a restructure as it divests cyberspace lead command functions to Air Force Space Command to allow AFNIC to focus on its core mission of Air Force network integration and engineering services.
The changes are a result of an AFSPC chartered study in April 2011 that took a detailed look at AFNIC in order to determine how best to align and incorporate its unique cyberspace capabilities into AFSPC's organization and mission.
The study was conducted by a diverse, cross-functional team consisting of AFSPC and AFNIC representatives. General William L. Shelton, commander of AFSPC, adopted the study recommendations and directed they be implemented.
The study looked across the entire organization focusing on efficient and effective operations. Any civilian position reductions were included in Air Force-wide civilian reduction numbers previously announced by the Air Force in November 2011. The personnel affected by the civilian reduction are being supported by the local Civilian Personnel Section at Scott Air Force Base, Ill.
Any military position reductions were included in the Air Force's recent overall force structure announcement.
Specific restructuring actions will concentrate AFNIC resources on its core mission of network integration and engineering responsibilities for the Air Force Network and divest the remaining responsibilities to other organizations to better align them within the structure of AFSPC. This will make AFNIC a leaner and more efficient center for the Air Force.
Current organize, train and equip staff functions within AFNIC, such as records, forms,
publications, cyber training programs, cyber requirements support, plans, and maintenance policy, will transfer to an AFSPC Cyberspace Support Squadron (CYSS), which stood up today at Scott AFB.
Oversight of current line operations and maintenance functions at AFNIC will transfer to AFSPC organizations managed by 24th Air Force, which is headquartered at Joint Base San Antonio -- Lackland, Texas. These functions include operationally-based line activities, such as DISN long haul communications provisioning, transmission and infrastructure systems technical support, and Information Assurance Assessments.
Some of these functions will be realigned to an existing squadron within 24th AF, the 92nd Information Operations Squadron, and an additional squadron, the 38th Cyber Readiness Squadron to oversee other operational functions. Both units stood up at Scott AFB on April 27.
"As the lead major command for space and cyberspace, Air Force Space Command is chartered to organize, train and equip space and cyberspace forces and is tasked to review and efficiently use the resources assigned to the command," said Lt.Gen. Michael J. Basla, vice commander of Air Force Space Command.
"These changes will allow AFNIC to focus on its core mission and ultimately make AFNIC the premier Air Force organization providing network integration and engineering services for the Air Force. Those individuals whose responsibilities are aligned to other units in Air Force Space Command will be in a position to make an even greater impact on the Air Force cyberspace mission."
Air Force Space Command is headquartered at Peterson AFB, Colo. and is the parent major command for AFNIC. AFSPC's mission is to provide resilient and cost-effective space and cyberspace capabilities for the joint force and the nation.

I can't wait to see a test match tbh. Australia's first series minus Warne and McGrath should be a cracker.
'Fraid not. I caught about 40 minutes of Pakistan v. Bangladesh and about 15 minutes of a couple of other games, and what I saw didn't make me want to watch more - players trying ugly hoick shots, dismissals that were terrible, dancing girls (little tip - no sport that is any good requires cheerleaders to keep the crowd excited), and players being utterly bereft of any decision making prerogative by the format - they have no option about how they go about the game - hence its hard to get excited about them going the tonk because its not a choice/risk like it is in Tests or even ODIs, its a necessity. It like the difference between how exciting it is when a punch or two are thrown in the footy compared to in a boxing match - less is more, especially in a context where it is somewhat unexpected and has consequences attached.

Well, you have to give the format and tournament a fair chance IMO. If you only catch a few minutes of games then you won't be able to appreciate the contest between the teams, no offence.
None taken. No doubt at some stage I'll sit through a match (I have sat through the entire Aus vs NZ and Aus vs SA games last year and the year before, although they weren't being taken very seriously by the players). But the little I've seen doesn't fill me with the desire to make an effort to do so.

I'm trying to copy all files and folders from one directory to another, but exclude certain files. Specifically, I want to exclude subversion files and folders. However, I'd like a general yet concise solution.
I imagine I'll find the need to exclude several types of files in the near future. For example, I might want to exclude .svn, *.bak, and *.prj.
Here is what I've put together so for, but it is not working for me. The first part, find works, but I'm doing something wrong with xargs and cp. I tried cp with and without the

Every year, in a time-honored tradition, loyal Volvo fans from across the United States converge on sunny Davis, CA to celebrate their love for the marque. Organized by the Golden Gate Chapter of the Volvo Club of America (GGVCOA), the 2013 event marked the 15th anniversary of the car show, swap meet, autocross and rehab party.
Back in 1998, Volvo enthusiasts in the Bay Area were looking for a way to connect with other owners, and the idea was born for an annual gathering. What started as a bunch of P1800 enthusiasts, blossomed into a full car show that would settle in the center of the energetic college town of Davis.
Over the years, attendance has increased and so have the activities. So now it includes a popular autocross and swap meet, which draws more of the Volvo faithful.
Club president Justin Lee and the many people who help to make the event happen, had seen more than 150 cars register for the show, with another 50 or so lining the perimeter of the park.
The weekend kicked-off with the autocross that saw 50 Volvos cut the cones and squeal tires for charity. In fact, all proceeds went to The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.
After that event, the infamous Rehab Party allowed attendees to dyno their cars, hang with friends, enjoy a barbeque and pay a few bucks (to charity) for a swing of a hammer on a non-Volvo car - every year the club buys a car people pay to destroy. It starts with a brick on the accelerator to blow the motor, followed by broken windows and dents in the name of raising money for a good cause.
Sunday brought not only great weather but a good array of Volvo vehicles as well, ranging from vintage concours winners to old racecars and highly modified modern examples. There was even a special guest appearance by a European-spec V60 wagon that just happened to be in the area.
The packed swap meet turned up plenty of hard-to-find parts, and a robust vendor row with big players like ipd, R-Sport International (RSI), Elevate Tuning, ARD Tuning, Grom Audio, K-PAX, Polestar and Lawrence Volvo all making an appearance.
More than 30 awards were handed out, and the raffle had plenty of big prizes, including software from Polestar, an Elevate inlet manifold, suspension parts from IPD and goodies from both RSI and Grom Audio.
If you're a diehard Volvo fan, this is a fun West Coast event you'll certainly enjoy. Rumor has it the Golden Gate Chapter of the Volvo Club of America is looking to make next year's event the biggest yet, so you might want to check out the website at ggvcoa.com.

Apparently attracted to electrical equipment, the ants invade by the millions and can shut down anything from computer systems and communications networks to hospital data bases and airport security control panels, he said. Repairs might cost millions.
IRVING, Texas—The National Burglar & Fire Alarm Association wants to know if your company's electronic security system helped save a life, avert property damage, or prevent a crime. The NBFAA is soliciting entries for its 2009 First Line of Defense Award, which recognizes a security company's actions in a specific incident in which the right response saved a life, prevented property damage or loss, or otherwise prevented a crime.
If your story is selected, you and your customer will win a free trip to the awards ceremony. Plus, your story will be featured in NBFAA publications and your company will receive a local and national publicity campaign.
"The First Line of Defense awards a company that represents what our security industry is all about—protecting people and property,†said Brink's Home Security spokesman Dave Simon, who is NBFAA public relations committee chairman, in an email interview. "The winner each year is selected based on a number of factors, often for having saved the life of a homeowner.â€
Interested security companies can write their story and send it to the NBFAA for a chance to win the 2009 award to be given at the 2009 Electronic Security Expo (ESX) in Baltimore, Md.
Applicants must be current NBFAA members in good standing, or apply for membership at the time of the award submission to qualify for the award. The incident must have occurred between October 1, 2007 and December 31, 2008. All entries must be postmarked by March 14, 2009.
"In a typical year, we tend to get five to ten entries,†Simon said. "We'd love to see that number increase.â€
A copy of the complete rules, judging criteria, and additional required forms can be downloaded at the NBFAA's website www.alarm.org. Questions on the contest rules can be directed to Laurie Knox at (888) 447-1689 or by e-mail at [email protected].
Our Security Segment designs, manufactures, markets and sells a wide range of products. The Company's primary focus in the Security Segment is the sourcing and selection of electronic surveillance products and components that it produces and sells, primarily to installing dealers, system integrators, retailers and end users. Other products in our Security Segment include, but are not limited to, less-than-lethal Mace defense sprays, personal alarms, high-end digital and machine vision cameras and imaging components, as well as video conferencing equipment and security monitors. The main marketing channels for our products are industry shows and publications, outside sales representatives, catalogs, internet and sales through telephone orders. Revenues generated for the year ended December 31, 2008 for the Security Segment were comprised of approximately 35% from our professional electronic surveillance operation in Florida, 43% from our consumer direct electronic surveillance and machine vision camera and video conferencing equipment operation in Texas, and 22% from our personal defense and law enforcement aerosol operation in Vermont.
The decrease in revenues within the Security Segment in 2008 was due to several factors. The majority of the decrease in sales was from decreases in sales of our consumer direct electronic surveillance division, our professional electronic surveillance operation and our machine vision camera and video conferencing operation. Our Vermont personal defense operations sales remain consistent between years. The decrease in sales of our consumer direct electronic surveillance, machine vision camera and video conference equipment operations, and our professional electronic surveillance operation was due to several factors, including the impact on sales of increased competition and the impact of management's completion of its consolidation of the Security Segment's electronic surveillance equipment operations from Ft. Lauderdale, Florida to the Farmers Branch, Texas warehouse. The consumer direct electronic surveillance and professional electronic surveillance division had a decrease in sales due to a delay in introducing new product lines during 2008. In the latter part of 2008 sales also decreased due to a reduction in spending by certain of our customers impacted by the deteriorating economy.
â€We packaged it. We packaged it like it has never been packaged before. We wrapped it up, along with our most unique business model and plan, in the most easily recognizable, electrically charged, energy generating way. The Spy Place is sure to become the most recognized name in the security industry, period,†explains Ms. Smock.
The Spy Place Franchising, LLC
Offering a Full-Service, Fully-Integrated Security System
Debuts at ISC West—Booth # 5047
Las Vegas, NV (April 1, 2009) From its humble beginnings as a security shop in Fort Wayne, Indiana, The Spy Place has developed into a full-service, fully-integrated security system franchise that is being introduced at the International Security Conference (ISC) West, at the Sands Convention Center, April 1—3, according to Tammy Smock, The Spy Place spokesperson.
"The Spy Place is geared to become a leading security and surveillance franchise company. The energy created by this name and system are unlike anything in the industry. We are committed to helping entrepreneurs take full advantage of the energy and industry diversity created by The Spy Place,†notes Ms. Smock.
"We have all seen successful businesses that service only one aspect of the security or surveillance industry such as GPS vehicle tracking software, mobile document destruction, limited access or lighting. That corporate model can only go so far and is self-limiting. We believe that franchising a system that allows for one business to serve every aspect of the industry is a paradigm shift that will allow this industry to grow and develop,†says to Ms. Smock.
"We pride ourselves on being an innovative franchisor utilizing the highest quality training and systems for our franchisees. The Spy Place franchisees will run our exciting James Bond-type retail store complete with the most innovative and exciting spy gadgets. Our unique system and trademarked name, The Spy Place, allow for a panoply of surveillance services far beyond the generalized business model of installation and monitoring, limited access and lighting control. There is no limit as to what our franchisees can do in this industry. In addition to the general business model, our franchisees can also service GPS vehicle tracking, document destruction, vehicle recovery, personal protection, private investigation, computer forensics, and any other niche from within the industry. In essence, the franchisees will be running several different businesses under one name,†adds Ms. Smock.
In order to train franchisees, the company will provide a fully-integrated sales training program including "Perception Training†at The Spy Place University in its world headquarters located in Fort Wayne, Indiana. During the two-week course, franchisees will be provided insight into the company's operating system, along with its business knowledge and leadership.
Because of the combined buying power of a franchise system, The Spy Place has arranged for franchise owners to receive preferred pricing from its approved surveillance industry suppliers.
What did The Spy Place do for the surveillance and security Industry? â€We packaged it. We packaged it like it has never been packaged before. We wrapped it up, along with our most unique business model and plan, in the most easily recognizable, electrically charged, energy generating way. The Spy Place is sure to become the most recognized name in the security industry, period,†explains Ms. Smock.

Cumston Hall is a historic library in downtown Monmouth, Maine. It was completed in 1900 and is named in honor of Dr. Charles M. Cumston, a former teacher at the English High School in Boston, who gave the Romanesque Revival and Queen Anne Style building to Monmouth equipped with a library and auditorium. Cumston chose Harry Hayman Cochrane (1860–1946), a muralist, to design and decorate it.
Today, Cumston Hall is the home of the Cumston Public library, the Theatre at Monmouth, Monmouth Community Players, and many local activities. In the summer, the hall's auditorium becomes a series of grand theatrical performances from the Theater at Monmouth, in the business since 1970. This is the main draw for people living outside of Monmouth to come and see this landmark.
Cumston Hall has been on the United States National Register of Historic Places since the 1970s. You can read more about Charles on my website at http://www.cumpston.org.uk/#/cumpston-hall-monmouth-usa/4533712856

Orange Google Guy Street View Download
I am not sure what to think of this wacky video from Google that Tinu Abayomi-Paul wants to be able to download off the Web. It's a video made by the search giant to show off the new Street View feature in its maps product, except using a guy in an orange suit who gears up into an even more bizarre costume and leaps about.
Hey, we live in "sunny" San Francisco, as Ryan (the name of Orange Google Guy) says in the video, so we don't judge.
So, Abayomi-Paul can now immortalize Orange Google Guy using RealNetworks's beta software of its RealPlayer 11, which allows users one-click downloading of non-DRM-protected video from the Web. It is being offered to selected AllThingsD.com visitors to try out before it is released later this month.
CEO Rob Glaser debuted the new version of RealNetworks's flagship product at the D5 conference last month, which you can read about here and also see a video of the demo.
Along with downloading, you can also bookmark videos and organize them using the software. And once saved, you can then rip those videos onto any CD, DVD or, eventually, any other storage device like an iPod.
Abayomi-Paul is in the early stages of a Web video channel for small businesses and thinks the RealPlayer would give her something neat to demo.
"I want to make some Google how-to videos downloadable for my small-business audience at www.freetraffictip.com–with permission only!," she wrote. "The collection would be free, but then lots of the time-crunched ones could watch offline."
Adding that she is home sick in bed, she noted that, "the computer is my only love! I'm a geek, a currently bedridden geek. Please help me not to die of boredom!"
Glad to help.
