M104 is also known as the Sombrero Galaxy because of a dark lane of dust that looks like the brim of a hat. Recent research suggests the Sombrero is a cross between a spiral galaxy and an elliptical galaxy, with a broad disk of stars surrounding a fat bulge of stars in the middle. [NASA/Hubble Heritage Team (STScI/AURA)]

The Sombrero
Two bright planets are passing through the constellation Virgo this summer. Orange Mars is in the west-southwest at nightfall, with golden Saturn well to its upper left, near Spica, Virgo's brightest star.
Virgo is best known not for its stars, but for its galaxies. The Virgo cluster, which contains thousands of galaxies, spans much of the constellation. The most photogenic of them all is M104, the Sombrero galaxy.
Through a small telescope, it looks like a tall "crown" of stars surrounded by a broad, thin disk. A dark lane of dust in the disk makes it look like the brim of a sombrero.
American astronomer Vesto Slipher made an important discovery about the galaxy 100 years ago. Working at Lowell Observatory in Arizona, he was studying many of the "nebulae" that sprinkle the universe. At the time, most astronomers thought they were motes of matter inside the Milky Way galaxy, which was thought to be the full extent of the universe.
Slipher found that many of these objects were moving away from Earth at high speed — so fast that there's no way they could have been contained inside the Milky Way. The Sombrero was the fastest of all. The finding suggested that the nebulae were really separate galaxies of stars far outside the Milky Way. But it took a couple of more decades for most astronomers to accept that finding.
The Sombrero, by the way, is about 32 million light-years away. We'll have more about the Sombrero tomorrow.

After I had my second child, I wanted to show my boss I could handle anything. I said yes to coming back too soon and working the overnight shift! I was so beat, I fell down the stairs holding my baby — she spent eight weeks in a body cast. She's fine now, but that was an excruciating price to pay for not being able to say no.
Since then, I've trusted that I'm good enough that saying no won't hurt my prospects. Actually, being direct about what you want — without second-guessing or excuses — shows you value yourself. Power through awkward moments like these and you'll get to your yes.
1. The I-Do-Not-Need-That No
You find the perfect dress for your friend's bachelorette. Then the saleswoman starts insisting you get this belt and those earrings too.
"I love that, but I'm not going to get it today." The sales assistant is just doing her job — she doesn't take a no personally and you shouldn't either. You're wasting her time by acting like you're deliberating or putting something on hold just for show. Say no, be lovely about it ... and leave.
2. The Parent-Trap No
Mom and Dad invite you on a cruise. You get only two weeks off and think this would be an awful way to spend one of them.
"I love you and that's so generous, but I can't. How about a weekend visit?" Time with you may be more important to them than the plan. Be quick and sweet, and don't make up a story. They knew when you were lying at age 8; they'll know now. P.S. Don't get guilted! You're an adult!
3. The "U Up?" No
The Guy You Want to Date says, "Let's hang Saturday." At 1 a.m., he finally texts, indicating his interest in, ahem, hanging. Nuh-uh.
Text, "No thanks." Wait a beat. Then, "But dinner Wednesday?" If you want more, don't take less for fear he'll disappear. Forget about jumping like it's the president calling! You'll save yourself months of pain by being clear with him and sticking to your decision.
4. The Weekend-Work No
Your boss asks you to work on Saturday, but your cousin is getting married.
"I would love to work on that with you, but I have a big family event. What if I stayed late Friday night?" Apologizing or going into an absurd amount of detail seems weak. Be calm and make eye contact and she'll respect what you're saying. Then follow up with an alternative solution if you can, so everyone wins.
5. The Kickstarter No
Your friend has a great idea for a vegan-snack-sample-delivery business, but you do not have the dough.
"I just gave to another friend's charity race, so I'm tapped out. Can I help by making an intro for you instead?" Little white lies can be okay. You don't have to share details about your finances with friends. Value the work you did to earn your money, and donate only to causes that move you.

Might as well add my brownies to the legions of brownie recipes. These come out very chewy and moist, and I always like to add some chopped walnuts, although it is not absolutely necessary. Dairy-free, of course. My name is kitchenetta, and I am a chocoholic. Enjoy!

1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine, melted
2 eggs beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (optional)

In a medium bowl, mix together the cocoa powder, flour, and baking powder. Add in the sugar. Stir in the margarine. Add the eggs and vanilla. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth. Stir in by hand the walnuts (if desired).
Spread the batter in to the pan, and bake for about 25 minutes (knife inserted into center should come out clean). Cool on wire rack, and then cut into squares (or rectangles). Makes 24 squares.

Washington Post

The Pentagon's Cyber Command will create 13 offensive teams by the fall of 2015 to help defend the nation against major computer attacks from abroad, Gen. Keith Alexander testified to Congress on Tuesday, a rare acknowledgment of the military's ability to use cyber-weapons.
The new teams are part of a broader government effort to shield the nation from destructive attacks over the Internet that could harm Wall Street or knock out electric power, for instance.
But Alexander warned that budget cuts will undermine the effort to build up these forces even as foreign threats to the nation's critical computer systems intensify. And he urged Congress to pass legislation to enable the private sector to share computer threat data with the government without fear of being sued.
As he moves into his eighth year as director of the National Security Agency and his third year as head of the fledgling Cyber Command, Alexander told the Senate Armed Services Committee that the strategic-threat picture is worsening. "We've seen the attacks on Wall Street over the last six months grow significantly," he said, noting there were more than 160 disruptive attacks on banks in that period.
Remember, it's not a matter of IF you'll need storable food, but WHEN!

Land Rover BAR's striking headquarters opened on the Camber at Portsmouth in the summer of 2015. Designed by HGP Architects, responsible for Portsmouth's iconic Spinnaker Tower, the new building is an inspiring base for Sir Ben Ainslie and his racing team. From there, they will launch their bid to bring the America's Cup home at last in 2017.
The building harbours three key functions - team headquarters for design and training, boat building, and the Innovation Centre for visitors. It houses the sports science and fitness facilities, engineering hub and design studio.
Carbon neutral, the building was constructed using cutting-edge methods, fabric and technologies optimising sustainability to BREEAM Excellent standard. Powered by 432 solar photovoltaic panels, it generates 130MWh a year providing all electricity required. The sail-like façade, created from transparent PTFE fabric stretched around a polished concrete base, is designed to be spectacularly backlit at night and aids towards the building's energy efficiency.'
Even the local ecosystem benefited from the construction, with Land Rover BAR hosting a project to nurture the local oyster population which is in decline. The oysters will live in a pontoon structure beneath the building.
Schools, community groups and other visitors experience everything from the design process, to hi-tech boat building, racing simulators, physical team training and recreation.
'Portsmouth has a great maritime heritage,' says Ainslie. 'We felt it was a natural home for the team's permanent base in the UK. There is excellent access to the water for the team's training and to host future America's Cup events, with fantastic spectator viewpoints.
'We hope, through our journey to bring the Cup home to Britain, we will inspire more young people to get involved in the sport, along with supporting the growth of the marine sector in the Solent area to match the country's F1 innovation hub.'

How to read the MBR contents
What's the simplest way to read the contents of the master boot record (MBR)? Should I be able to view the contents using a read-only command from a console (newbie here)? If so, how do I do that?

I don't know about the simplest. And I don't know that as a newbie you will make any sense of the boot record. In any case, I think this will work:
dd if=/dev/hda of=mbrcontent bs=1 count=512
It will write the contents of the first HDD's mbr to the "mbrcontent" file (you can use whatever name for that file).
You will be able to look at the file in any binary viewer or editor.

You can inspect MBR from a Disk Editor like Norton running out of DOS. You can even change it, if you know how - most folk don't!

Well, it won't hurt to look at the MBR, and maybe you will learn something
The minimum you will learn is that you can use "dd" to inspect the contents of any place on the hard drive.

rarsa, does that script create the "mbrcontent" file? If so, where does it put the file? The directory you are in when you execute the script?

Post subject: Sector 0 of hard drive
I've been learning how to deal with the first sector. (I've learned ways to find out what is really there.) If you are dealing with the MBR, I've gathered what I've learned so far here:
(Please add what you learn, so we can all learn!)
Sector 0 is the first sector of the Hard Disk Drive.
Absolute (or Physical) Sector 0 is at CHS 0,0,1.
It contains the Partition Table, which is four 16-byte entries, starting at location 01BE.
The Partition Table can be viewed (and changed) with Pdisk, fdisk, and cfdisk.
The last two bytes, at location 01FE, should always be 55 AA.
This is called the Signature ID or Magic Number.
The first 446 bytes of the MBR is the IPL (Initial Program Loader) or boot code. This searches the partition table for an active partition and then loads the first sector of that partition in to memory, and starts executing its code. If the IPL is damaged or missing, the MBR cannot boot an otherwise undamaged disk, even if the partition table is intact. (But booting from a floppy or other device should allow access to the drive and its partitions -- if the partition table is OK.)
Use the Linux utility hexdump to view the contents of Sector 0.
Learn all about the details of this code at
Daniel B. Sedory dis-assembles and analyzes each version of boot code!
Unfortunately, Puppy 1.0.6. and previous versions are missing hexdump. (It is rumored to be returning in Puppy 1.0.7.) But dd and awk are present, and can be used to find out what IPL is actually present.
This code can be used from the console command line:
dd if=/dev/hda bs=512 count=1 | awk 'BEGIN {RS="GRUB"} {printf "%X\n", length($0)}'
1+0 records in
1+0 records out
dd reads the first 512 byte sector from the hard drive.
awk searches for the string "GRUB", and prints out the location (in hexadecimal).
This example shows a normal GRUB installation, at hex location 0179. Other versions of GRUB might locate at 0176. (The 83 is the number of bytes remaining, from the end of the found string to the end of the sector.)
If there is no GRUB, the program would print just one number, 200 (that equals 512 bytes, in hex). Replace "GRUB" with "LILO" -- that would be located at 0006.
To find out if Windows is installed, replace "GRUB" with "Invalid", the beginning of an error message that is included in all DOS/Windows IPLs, at these locations:
008B - MS-DOS3.30/Win95A
010F - Win95B/98/98SE/ME
012C - Win2000/XP

rarsa, does that script create the "mbrcontent" file? If so, where does it put the file? The directory you are in when you execute the script?
I've gathered what I've learned so far here:
(Please add what you learn, so we can all learn!)
I've learned that you should not mess too with the MBR if you don't have a current backup of your dear data.
I've also learned that it's not that difficult to understand the contents as the layout is quite standard:
Here are two good references:

sorry, only posting so that I can get this topic into my current watchlist. (I think I may have a problem with correct creation of mbr or maybe partition table)

I have recently built a homepage (based on Drupal, of course) for quite an interesting not-for-profit project called Ingoldesstat-finden.
Some history background:
A document of Charlemagne ( or Charles the Great) from 806 mentions for the first time a "Kammergut" (estate) he owned, namely Ingoldesstat — which later became the city Ingolstadt (not too far away from Munich). Yes, that's the Ingolstadt you know from Mary Shelley's novel Frankenstein. Ingolstadt will celebrate the 1200th "birthday" in 2006...
The project:
The aim of the archaeological project Ingoldesstat-finden is to find the exact place where the first settlers of Ingolstadt lived. Some recent findings indicate that the original Ingoldesstat was not where the city center is today...
The project, lead by Hans Strobl, has many volunteer participants, ranging from archaeologists, historians, art restorers, designers, photographers, videographers and — finally — a computer science student who created their website ;-)
There's a photo gallery which documents the excavations, findings, activities and people behind the project. I also set up a group blog so that all people involved can blog about what they do... It was a lot of fun for me to work with these people to get the site up and running and I'm curious how it will develop — my hope is that it will become a lively site with lots of discussions.
The thing that fascinates me most about this project is that so many citizens of Ingolstadt take part, help with excavations, wash findings, take photos etc. etc. I'll probably also take part in some of the archaeological stuff in the future. Expect to see me "digging in the dirt" soon, in the truest sense of the word ;-)

So Caressa Cameron, crowned Miss America on Sunday, opened her yearlong reign with some alienating things to say about video games. Chalk that up to extemporaneous speaking. Here she assures Major Nelson she wants to learn how to play them.
We mentioned that Cameron's first post-coronation comments were intended to motivate parents to set better standards for their children, but devolved into the usual shut-off-the-console cliché. In this video currently available on Xbox Live, she tells the Major that she enjoys watching other people play games, and the only reason she doesn't is because her little brother's time on the console interferes with her learning how to play them
"Tell your gamers to keep gaming!" she says at the end. "Somebody teach me how!" We will, Caressa, if you teach us how to play imaginary games in the street with sticks!

Calling the investigation into its athletic department "corrupted from the start," Miami has told the NCAA's Committee on Infractions that it would agree to any properly corroborated allegations against the Hurricanes if the case is brought to a swift end and without any further penalties.
Miami made that offer in the motion filed last week to dismiss the case. Four other former Miami coaches filed similar motions.
The Hurricanes want the infractions committee — which is not the NCAA's investigative arm, but a separate group — to use the broad power it has under the association's bylaws to end the case before it even goes to a hearing, scheduled to begin in June. The motion is in part based on Miami's assertion that the investigation was filled with "gross incompetence and mismanagement."
Miami also makes several accusations that the NCAA lied to the school.
"Prolonging the conclusion of this case would further irreparably harm the University," reads part of the motion's conclusion.
It's unclear what happens next — when the motion will be heard, if the motion will be heard and who would even actually hear the motion. It was sent to infractions committee member Eleanor Myers, an associate professor of law at Temple, the school where Miami coach Al Golden last coached before he left for the Hurricanes.
Among the damages Miami cites as part of the investigation: excessive resources devoted by the school, two years of uncertainty around the football and men's basketball programs, and smearing of the reputation of Golden, who was dogged by allegations last year that his staff knowingly broke NCAA recruiting rules.
The Associated Press learned in February, when the notice of allegations was filed against Miami by the NCAA, that Golden was not named in that document, which has not been publicly released.
"The University is not asking for a windfall or quick escape," reads Miami's motion to dismiss. "To the contrary, largely because of the NCAA's misconduct and mismanagement, this matter has languished for twice as long as it should have, to the University's detriment."
Much of what's contained in the motion is not surprising, given that Miami has publicly asserted for some time that the NCAA's probe was extremely flawed. The most damning accusations, other than just an overall sense of incompetence and mismanagement, come with Miami saying that the NCAA ignored its own promise of honesty.
"Perhaps most distressing and unconscionable, on multiple occasions, members of the enforcement staff intentionally misled the University by withholding key information, failing to inform the University of scheduled interviews and, most egregiously, lying to the University and its outside counsel," reads part of Miami's motion.
The details of the motion became widely known on a day where embattled NCAA President Mark Emmert spoke at the Final Four in Atlanta, with part of his remarks in a question-and-answer session revolving around the Miami mess.
Emmert ordered an investigation of the investigation in January, after apparently becoming aware of the scope of the association's ties with attorney Maria Elena Perez, who represents Nevin Shapiro — the convicted felon and former booster at the center of the Hurricanes' scandal. The NCAA paid Perez after she conducted depositions as part of Shapiro's bankruptcy case, and part of the information from those sessions worked its way into the Miami case.
The nature of the relationship between Perez and the NCAA is still up for some debate. Perez said the NCAA paid her as a third-party and that she was never specifically an NCAA employee. Emails from now-former NCAA investigators, however, clearly show that she was paid to do interviews the association thought it could not obtain on its own.
"The Miami case is obviously a significant blow to the confidence people have in enforcement, and we've worked very, very hard to be as open and frank about that case," Emmert said Thursday. "We've dealt with it directly. If we have to change, continue to change, the culture of enforcement, that's certainly on me and something I'm working hard on."
As part of the motion, Miami also told the committee that bringing the case against the Hurricanes to an immediate end would help the NCAA restore the confidence of its member schools.
Miami has already self-imposed sanctions such as scholarship reductions and three missed postseason games. The Hurricanes have long said that should be enough.
Other highlights of the motion, many sentiments of which have been aired publicly in past statements and filings, include:
— That Miami remains troubled over the decision of NCAA investigators to not interview former Hurricanes athletic director Paul Dee, a longtime infractions committee member, before his death last year.
— That Miami believes a now-former NCAA investigator should not have vouched for Shapiro's credibility by writing a letter to a federal judge days before the former booster was sentenced for masterminding the Ponzi scheme. Shapiro's attorney filed a motion this week to have that letter stricken from court records.
— That the outside report the NCAA ordered after the scope of the relationship with Perez was exposed is both incomplete and incorrect, and that not all information that should have been deemed tainted because of its association to the ill-gotten depositions was excluded from the notice of allegations.
— Finally, that investigators withheld information about interviews with witness, misled the university in some cases and lied to witnesses as an interview tactic.

If, in synopsis form, the Filipino thriller Cavite sounds a whole lot like the movies Phone Booth and/or Cellular, rest assured that those comparisons are not lost among the filmmakers. But they've also been putting this thing together for several years, so it's more a case of creative coincidence than anything plagiaristic in nature. Plus the movie's not really all that similar to those two Hollywood hits, except perhaps on the surface.
Adam is back in his homeland of the Philippines to attend his father's funeral. The poor guy has all sorts of stresses and worries careening through his head (not the least of which is a pregnant girlfriend who wants to take a "break"), but nothing can prepare Adam for the day from Hell he's about to withstand. Fresh off his flight and right outside the airport, Adam's cell phone rings: it's someone seriously unfriendly.
Seems that Adam's mother and sister have been kidnapped by some ruthless political extremists -- and Adam must act as the terrorists' puppet or his family will be killed. At first Adam reluctantly gives in to the villains' demands ... but the stakes get raised real high real fast; before too long our hero has some truly impossible choices to make.
Tighly-wound and hyper-cut edited to create a breathless pace, Cavite starts out slowly and slowly spirals into a thing of true grit and intensity. Missing are the flashy touchstones of most American thrillers, and we're entertained by the story as much as we're fascinated by the weathered (and periodically nightmarish) Filipino landscape.
The less divulged about the plot specifics the better, but high praise is due co-directors Ian Gamazon and Neill Dela Llanna for never relying on stock kidnapping-flick conceits. Adam is sent on an increasingly more unpleasant series of tasks ... and you slowly begin to get the feeling that none of this is bound to end particularly well.
Anchored by an excellent lead performance by (co-writer, co-director) Gamazon, Cavite throws your expectations to the wind and just hopes you'll come along for the ride. It's fast-paced and grittily entertaining, but never in that safe and generic way that most Hollywood thrillers shoot for.
The DVD
Video: The widescreen transfer does a fine job, although you should remember that the film was basically a 2-man job and that fairly basic video equipment was used. I think it fits the film just fine.
Audio: Dolby Digital 2.0 English. The Tagalog dialogue comes with English subtitles, although the whole of the film does not. Spanish, but not English.
Filmmakers Neill Dela Llana and Ian Gamazon provide a feature-length audio commentary. The co-directors were recorded separately, but they combine to bring a good deal of background info to the track. And if you're one of those festival-goers who saw Cavite and didn't much care for its portrayal of The Philippines, the directors have a few (polite yet firm) comments for you specifically.
Also included are a ten-minute batch of outtakes & deleted scenes (with optional commentary and a bunch of Magnolia trailers for Bubble, Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room, A League of Ordinary Gentlemen, The War Within, One Last Thing..., and The World's Fastest Indian.
Final Thoughts
At 80 minutes in length, Cavite doesn't waste much time getting to the meat of the matter, and much of the film maintains an impressively desperate and fairly breathless pace.

39 North Innovation District Plan Unveiled
The ability to grow sufficient food for the increasing world population, under limited water and nutrient availability and changing climate, is what drives our research. We strive to grow better plants with fewer inputs and under less favorable conditions.
Sona is working to elucidate the physiological, genetic and metabolic networks involved in the plant's response to environmental stresses. Her lab works with a class of evolutionary conserved proteins, the heterotrimeric G-proteins and a plant hormone abscisic acid (ABA).
Plants show a phenomenal degree of adaptation and phenotypic plasticity in response to different environmental conditions. The Pandey lab is taking complementary approaches using both model organisms as well as agronomically relevant crops to establish a foundation with discovery-based research and its translation to agricultural applications. The major focus areas of our research are:
Heterotrimeric G-proteins (referred to as G-proteins hereafter) consisting of Gα, Gβ and Gγ subunits and the Regulator of G-protein Signaling (RGS) proteins control some of the most important signaling pathways in all eukaryotes. The core of the G-protein signaling is conserved in all organisms, but critical differences exist in their function and regulation. In plants, G-proteins integrate a wide range of signals related to multiple hormones, environmental sensing, abiotic stresses and defense responses in order to ascertain optimal growth and development. The lab's recent research in soybean has established that the networks of G-protein signaling in plants are significantly more diverse than previously thought and the current data show that G-proteins are involved in regulation of processes that directly affect plant yield: control of seed number and size, nodulation and abiotic stress responses. However, the mechanistic details of how G-proteins regulate these processes remain largely unknown. Our goal is to elucidate molecular mechanisms of the roles of G-protein complex during critical physiological responses and apply the knowledge gained to generate higher-yielding and stress-tolerance crops. Furthermore, to probe deeper into the unique mechanistic aspects of G-protein signaling mechanisms in plants, the lab is analyzing the details and regulation of G-protein signaling from across the evolutionary breadth of plant lineage.
The role of ABA is obvious among plant hormones that link environmental signals to plant growth and development, due to its unique function in regulating both biotic and abiotic stress responses as well as controlling seed dormancy and water use efficiency of plants. Multiple ABA signaling modules have been established in plants and while the details of PYR/PYL/RCAR protein-dependent signaling module that uses the core of PP2C phosphatases and SnRK2 kinases has been most elegantly characterized, the progress in characterizing additional modules such as those mediated by G-proteins and lipid-derived second messengers remains relatively limited. They have previously reported on the role of GTG proteins in regulation of ABA signaling pathways mediated by G-proteins. Recombinant GTG proteins bind ABA and Arabidopsis plants lacking GTG genes (gtg1gtg2 double mutants) exhibit ABA hyposensitivity. However, the presence of multiple transmembrane domains in GTG proteins has made characterization of their detailed structure/function difficult. As an alternative, the lab plans to use extensive genomics, proteomics and lipidomics approaches with wild-type and G-protein-related mutants to elucidate their role in regulating ABA signaling.

I love accessories. Period! It doesn't really matter if we're talking shoes, watches, curtains, throw pillows, or garden gnomes, I love them all and my technology is no exception. I've recently started using a BlackBerry Q10 and I have really enjoyed choosing my accessories. I get the feeling everyone else does too. The accessory booth is hopping here at BlackBerry Live with people itching to get their hands on this incredible line up of accessories that have been designed specifically for the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone.
Don't worry if you weren't able to join us this year. Head over to www.BlackBerry.com/Q10accessories or your local retailer to pick up these awesome accessories.
What's the first accessory you'd buy for your BlackBerry Q10?

Interested to present an official HackThisSite lecture or discussion? That's great! However, MANDATORY approval is required prior to presentation of lecture. Click HERE to post a lecture approval request, and a HackThisSite staff member will reply to your request for further instruction. Please post your request within 5 DAYS PRIOR to presenting the lecture. Once approved, we will make a special announcement of the lecture to inform those who are interested to participate!
If your lecture request has been DENIED, no worries! You can still present your lecture, but it would be considered an UNOFFICIAL HackThisSite lecture, agreeing to certain guidelines, posted HERE
HackThisSite Lecture Guideline For User
Written By: Monica
Topic Preparation:
It's great that you are interested to give a lecture that in return can be fun and rewarding! However, topic MUST BE relevant to computer technology (i.e. Programming, hacking, net-neutrality) or advanced mathematics. Giving a lecture comes with responsibility. Participants may have questions during or after the lecture and may expect you to understand your own topic. Of course, nobody expects you to be perfect, but you can offer a good amount of knowledge! Research is highly suggested, so make sure to take notes. But no worries, treat this opportunity as a discussion, rather than a lecture because others may voice any missing key points or facts! There are many topics that are vague, for example, Web Hacking. Make sure to be more specific. A good example of a specific topic would be on SQL Injections. Let's be sure to break the topic into sub-topics. Perfect sub-topics of SQL Injections could be the following:
- Introduction to SQL Database
- How SQL Injections Work
- Vulnerability Testing
Now that you have a great topic and have done your research, you are prepared to give a lecture, abiding by the guidelines below!
Guideline Introduction:
This guideline is to provide you an organized structure for both Ventrilo and IRC so participants can follow along throughout the lecture. Remember, we are all here for a reason. Our goal on HackThisSite is to learn, teach and contribute. Treat this opportunity as a discussion, rather than a lecture to promote full cooperation in the topic. Please treat others and our very own HackThisSite staff with respect. We are all "equal" in the community and in the lecture. Infractions will be given to both the user and the staff member for improper behavior and/or action for:
a.) Intentional spamming on IRC channel or spamming Ventrilo server by repeatedly joining/leaving (i.e. to avoid mutes)
b.) "Trolling" on IRC channel or on Ventrilo, for this is considered harrassment
c.) Intentional interruption of speaker on Ventrilo as an act of "trolling"
d.) Name-calling and personal insults to an individual, for this is UNACCEPTABLE
1.) Greeting
Although the HackThisSite staff will start off with most of the greetings and introductions, feel free to start with a friendly greeting of your own on Ventrilo! We want participants to feel welcome and want them to feel comfortable to be on Ventrilo, as this may be a new or unique experience for some users. Treat Ventrilo as an online classroom. Again, our goal here on HackThisSite is to learn, teach and contribute. An example of a friendly greeting would be, "Thank you for taking the time to join us today on Ventrilo for HackThisSite's lecture." Make sure to inform participants of topic and what to expect. "Today's topic will be on ________________. For those who do not have a microphone, please join us on IRC so we can see your replies to questions and for discussions."
2.) Introduction
It's always nice to know who you're speaking to, and it's nice to get to know each other a bit better for a more comfortable learning environment. Because the HackThisSite staff are the hosts of the lecture, we will introduce each HackThisSite staff participating in the lecture. We will start off with interesting facts for a brief introduction. You may expect the following:
a.) "My (staff) name is, or you may know me as ______________."
b.) "My position on HackThisSite is a ________________."
c.) "What got me into computers/hacking..."
Now we will introduce EACH participant with the following questions:
a.) "What is your username/name?"
b.) "What got you interested in computers?"
c.) "What would you like to learn in regards to this topic today?"
3.) The Topic
Make sure the topic is explained properly with the helpful guidelines above. After topics have been discussed, please ask the participants if they have other questions. Make sure to end the topic with a brief summary of each sub-topic. Please thank the participants for their time. We hope you had fun and hope that you have learned new things while researching or during the lecture!

Latent Variable Mixture Modeling
posted on Monday, February 17, 2014 - 9:20 pm
I am using Mixture IRT model to fit 1 calss, 2 class, and 3 class with 20 data set.
In 2 class, there is no any problem to fit, also, THE BEST LOGLIKELIHOOD VALUE HAS BEEN REPLICATED. But , in 3 class , sometimes it showed THE BEST LOGLIKELIHOOD VALUE HAS BEEN REPLICATED , but meanwhile shows ˇ§THE STANDARD ERRORS OF THE MODEL PARAMETER ESTIMATES MAY NOT BE TRUSTWORTHY FOR SOME PARAMETERS DUE TO A NON-POSITIVE DEFINITE FIRST-ORDER DERIVATIVE PRODUCT MATRIX.ˇ¨ and ˇ§ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS WERE FIXED TO AVOID SINGULARITY OF THE INFORMATION MATRIX.ˇ¨
Are results trustful such item parameters and the values of BIC? Or does it mean that model canˇ¦t fit the data?
In addition, sometimes the results of 3 classes showed ˇ§THE BEST LOGLIKELIHOOD VALUE WAS NOT REPLICATED. ˇ§ and I increased the starting value = 100 20 to 1000 200 , but it still showed that ˇ§THE BEST LOGLIKELIHOOD VALUE WAS NOT REPLICATED. ˇ§ Does that mean the model canˇ¦t fit the data too? Or should I increase starting values more?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 18, 2014 - 6:15 am
The best loglikelihood must be replicated. Even when it is replicated, there can be other problems. I would need to see the output with the error message and your license number at
to determine what the problem is.
posted on Monday, February 24, 2014 - 7:45 am
Can I obtain the estimate of individual ability while I am using mixture IRT model?
Or, I just can only get the membership and mean of group ability ?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Monday, February 24, 2014 - 3:23 pm
You get the individual ability estimate for each latent class and also the ability estimate mixed over classes. For a factor names F, they are called F_C and F, respectively.
posted on Monday, February 24, 2014 - 4:49 pm
So, do you mean the output which I can get the the estimated of ability for each class and the whole sample's estimated ability ?
But, could I get the estimated of ability of each person in a class?
For example, if there are 200 people in class 1 , could I also get 200 people's estimated ability in class 1?
Bengt O. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, February 25, 2014 - 11:38 am
I am talking about each person's factor score - you get 2 versions of each person's factor score (class-specific and mixed over classes).
You get that using the Savedata command and Save - fscores.
posted on Monday, March 03, 2014 - 7:04 pm
Thank you.
I am trying to find the fitted model in a mixture Rasch model. I fitted the data in 2 classes , 3 classes and 4 classes. BIC for 2,3,4 classes are 45190.796,45053.329 45083.17.From the BIC value, 3 classes should fit well, but the output gave me the message"ONE OR MORE PARAMETERS WERE FIXED TO AVOID SINGULARITY ...".
Should I choose the 3- classes model?
Linda K. Muthen
posted on Tuesday, March 04, 2014 - 6:00 am
It depends which parameter was fixed and why. Please send the output and your license number to

Fowler still recovering from bout with flu
HOUSTON - Astros center fielder Dexter Fowler is hoping some home cooking will get him going.
Fowler, who went 2-for-22 on the team's road trip to Toronto and Texas, entered Tuesday hitting .500 (6-for-12) at Minute Maid Park this year. He was 2-for-4 in each of the first three games of the season-opening series against the Yankees before missing all four games of the Angels series with a stomach virus.
"I'm stilling trying to find my legs," he said. "I really don't make excuses. I have been weak and been trying to get my timing and stuff back, and I think that's huge. Getting back to home and getting some rest and all that, it's definitely helping."
Fowler lost eight pounds during his ordeal, and he said he's slowly putting the weight back on. He doubled to right field in his first at-bat Tuesday.
"That's why you play 162 games," Fowler said. "If it were that easy, we'd play half a season and call it a day. It's a grind, and we'll see how it goes at the end of the year."

Trailer FrenzyA special place to find the newest trailers for movies and TV shows you're craving.
What happens when you mash up Honey, I Shrunk the Kids and Ferngully? Well, if you also crank it up to 11, you apparently get Fox's upcoming CG flick Epic. It's based on William Joyce's children's book The Leaf Men, and while it may have a wacky slug voiced by Aziz Ansari, it also seems to feature enough action-adventure that it will live up to its title.
Obviously, the last time people compared a movie to Ferngully, it was Avatar, and it wasn't really being said favorably. But on the other hand, Epic doesn't seem to have any white people saving poor primitive blue natives who have sex by connecting their hair tentacles, so I'm thinking advantage, Epic.

Linus, Linux and the Millennium Technology Prize
Apr 23, 2012 5:00 AM PT
It doesn't happen often here in the Linux blogosphere that FOSS fans agree unanimously on -- well, on pretty much anything.
Truth be told, there's generally good reason for the dissension. Take Microsoft's latest maneuvers, for example -- are they good news? Bad news? It's not always easy to tell.
Last week, however, one of those rare announcements was made that brought universal joy to Linux aficionados around the globe. It was, of course, the news that none other than our own Linus Torvalds -- a hero to us all -- has been named a laureate for the 2012 Millennium Technology Prize.
'A Great Impact'
"The free availability of Linux on the Web swiftly caused a chain-reaction leading to further development and fine-tuning worth the equivalent of 73,000 man-years," wrote Technology Academy Finland, which determines the award, in an explanation of its choice.
"Today millions use computers, smartphones and digital video recorders like Tivo run on Linux," the academy added.
"Linus Torvalds' achievements have had a great impact on shared software development, networking, and the openness of the Web, making it accessible for millions, if not billions," it concluded.
'A Wonderful Recognition'
There's been dancing in the streets of the Linux blogosphere ever since word arrived, and so far the party has shown no sign of slowing down.
Linux Girl -- who prides herself on having interviewed the man himself not so very long ago -- was right there in the middle of it all, Quick Quotes Quill at the ready.
"I think this is a wonderful recognition of Linus, the operating system he created, and the open source model in general," Google+ blogger Linux Rants told Linux Girl.
'It's Great for Linux'
"The fact that Linus has received this award, while other more globally recognized figures such as Bill Gates and Steve Jobs have not, is a testament to just how valuable the committee believes his contributions to the world are," Linux Rants added.
"It seems all too appropriate to see Linus join fellow Millennium Technology Prize winner Tim Berners-Lee in this honor," he concluded. "One man created the World Wide Web, and the other created the software that makes it work."
Indeed, "it's an honor for Linus, and it's great for Linux" to be put on a pedestal at the same level as Sir Tim Berners-Lee, agreed Google+ blogger Pedro Gomes.
Gomes' only regret, however, is that "the great majority of people in the world do not know what is Linux and who Mr. Tim Lee is," he added.
'It Has Kept the Dragons at Bay'
"I think Linus Torvalds is deserving of being named a laureate for the award," agreed Roberto Lim, a lawyer and blogger on Mobile Raptor.
"Just imagine what the world would be like today without Linux?" Lim added. "It has kept, and continues to keep, the dragons at bay."
And again: "It is hard to underestimate the impact of Linux," concurred Chris Travers, a Slashdot blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project. "I wonder how many of us got into open source software because of Linux."
'One of the Greatest Accomplishments'
Torvalds made "what has turned out to be a great initiative in IT and made a career of it," blogger Robert Pogson observed. "Lesser people would have messed it up somehow.
"He makes good decisions and gives good leadership," Pogson added. "Well done. What started out as a small project by an individual has become one of the greatest accomplishments of modern technology."
Along the way, of course, "he has accepted and encouraged help from many, including GNU and thousands of developers and dozens of corporations cooperatively making software for the world," Pogson pointed out.
'It's Ironic'
Slashdot blogger hairyfeet saw irony in the occasion.
Torvalds' honor "isn't really about what he has done but what others such as Google actually did with his idea," hairyfeet opined.
"As so many like to point out in the forums, 'Linux is just a kernel,' and it's even more hilarious that one of the reasons he is being honored is because 'even TiVo runs on Linux,' which of course shows just how little the whole 'FOSS thing' matters to those giving the award," hairyfeet went on.
"I'm not saying that Linus doesn't deserve the recognition he gets, any more than RMS shouldn't be credited with the GPL," he added. "I'm just saying it's ironic that he is winning this award for the work that corps have done by taking his work and making devices which can be locked down on a whim without a second thought."
'It Is Ubiquitous'
Then again, "Linux has penetrated every aspect of computing, from supercomputers to phones to embedded systems," Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien pointed out.
"Billions of people use Linux every day without even knowing it," O'Brien added. "It is ubiquitous. That is what makes this prize appropriate."
The recognition "certainly makes more sense than whats-his-name from Facebook getting Time's 'Person of the Year' award," opined Barbara Hudson, a blogger on Slashdot who goes by "Tom" on the site.
"And after spending a day trying out Windows 8 Preview (which will be replaced with the Fedora 17 Beta A.S.A.P.), I think more than a few people are going to find a new appreciation of Linux when Windows XP finally goes EOL and they are confronted with Microsoft's 'social-centric' Metro Interface," Hudson predicted.
"Maybe Linus can spend some of the prize money buying Tux a new T-shirt sporting the prize logo?" she suggested.
'Poor Linus'
Last but not least, consultant and Slashdot blogger Gerhard Mack couldn't help but speculate about Torvalds' personal perspective on it all.
"Poor Linus," Mack began. "He does deserve it, but it seems the more he tries to hide in the background, the more people push him into the spotlight.
"I hope the money makes up for the hassle," he mused.

Visit Vocations Toronto at www.vocationstoronto.ca, a resourceful site in answering these questions.
Lots of Catholics don't understand the difference between something which is taught by the Church and must be believed and something which is only a discipline of the Church and is not taught at the level of belief. For instance, whether priests are married or unmarried is a discipline of the Church and is changeable. That does not mean that it is going to change, but only that it could be changed if the proper authorities in the Church decided that it was the right thing to do. We individual Catholic don't change the rules for ourselves. Instead, if we are faithful to the Church, we might suggest changes but also accept the decisions of those who have the authority to make the changes. Thus the decision to ordain only unmarried men to the priesthood in the Catholic Church is a discipline. Occasionally, when a convert clergyman is ordained and he is married, we see that this regulation is only discipline.
There are other aspects of our faith that are taught as unchangeable. For instance, in 1854, Pope Pius IX proclaimed the dogma of the Immaculate Conception, and in 1950 Pope Pius XII proclaimed the dogma of the Assumption of Mary. These are teachings given to us which are unchangeable.
In the Gospel today we see Jesus speaking to his followers and asking them if they can really accept what He has been saying. This is still Chapter 6 of the Gospel of John. What Jesus has been saying is about the Holy Eucharist, about His presence in the bread, about His relationship to the Father�and basically about how God loves us. The teaching of Jesus was too difficult for many of his disciples and they left Him at this point. The teachings of our Catholic Church are also difficult for many.
The second reading today, from the Letter to the Ephesians, reflects some of the difficult teachings of the New Testament.
The way in which Saint Paul explains the relationship between woman and man in marriage today offends some people. Instead of seeking how to understand this teaching, many people simply reject it.
You and I are all challenged to keep struggling with the Scriptures so that we can encounter the living God present there. We must also struggle with our Catholic Church because it is the living presence of Christ present in our world today. In order to struggle, we must be humble and accept that I personally do not have all the answers and that even my way of thinking may need conversion.
May the Lord help us today so that we may walk with Him and not just by our own light.

text: Digital Architect Barbie Finally Becomes a Reality By Steve Delahoyde|February 23, 2011 Share By Steve Delahoyde|February 23, 2011 Share You might recall hearing that since 2002, there's been a concerted effort to make architecture a career that Barbie finally would accept. Despite winning that year's annual "I Can Be" contest, toy manufacturer Mattel supposedly decided that the business of building didn't fit within the iconic doll's range and axed it. Last year, the fight raged again and it seemed like an Architect Barbie might finally be a possibility. But sadly, it was not to be, and instead she went into computer engineering and news anchoring. However, as glum as last year was for those pushing for her career path, it looks as though the efforts have paid off. Rita Catinella at Architectural Record broke the story that 2011 is the year the world will finally see Barbie as an architect. Now, along with previous years' winners of Dolphin Trainer, Chef, and Pet Vet, the disproportionate, iconic blond will be designing buildings right along side all those other disproportionate blond icons, like Frank Gehry or Zaha Hadid. The doll will be available sometime this fall and has already appeared on Target's website for pre-order. What's most surprising/optimistic about all of this finally happening, is that Mattel even reached out to the AIA. Here's a bit from Catinella's report: According to the AIA, they did not partner with Mattel on the doll, but two AIA members from upstate New York were part of the conversation with the company. The organization is supportive of the concept however. According to Matt Tinder, Media Relations, AIA, "We're pleased that a new generation of young people have an opportunity to imagine becoming an architect. We believe the Barbie I Can Be… Architect will help inspire a new generation of young people to consider the profession of architecture." That doesn't really indicate how much the AIA contributed, but we're hoping it's more than just "so what's the perfect kind of black-rimmed glasses for an architect to wear?" because of course Architect Barbie has them.

An occasional series featuring our readers' tales of momentary sports glory. If you've got a video of your own brush with athletic greatness, send it to email@example.com, subject: Glory Days.
This story comes to us from Will, from his days as a high school miler in Missouri. The mile is a four-lap race, and with half a lap remaining, Will looked like he was in trouble. And then he wasn't. Take it away, Will:
I attached a video of the last 200 meters of a mile (1,600 meters) track event from back in 2007. Basically, the top four make it out of sectionals and into the state meet the following weekend. With 200 meters to go, I'm in fifth, well back off the leaders. I'm in all white.
Update (6:32 p.m.): Will's time was 4:29.66, for those track nerds who were wondering.

I read about a training method that uses this term.
The trick is to get a bird addicted to training, in a similar way a human gets addicted to gambling. You basically give hem a random amount of treats for a reward. May give them 1-3, or as a "jackpot", 5 or more. Sometimes, you may not give them anything for a few clicks, and then give them a jackpot. The bird can't predict what exactly he'll get after every single click, and that's what keeps them from getting bored of it.
