At the age of 17 I was paying attention in college, but still enjoying the student life as much as studying towards my career goals. What I wasn't doing was working at the cutting edge of cancer treatment and developing a potential cure.
Angela Zhang is, and she's just been awarded the $100,000 Grand Prize in the Individual category of the Siemens Competition in Math, Science & Technology. Her project was entitled "Design of Image-guided, Photo-thermal Controlled Drug Releasing Multifunctional Nanosystem for the Treatment of Cancer Stem Cells."
Her creation is being heralded as a "Swiss army knife of cancer treatment." Zhang managed to develop a nanoparticle that can be delivered to the site of a tumor through the drug salinomycin. Once there it kills the cancer stem cells. However, Zhang went further and included both gold and iron-oxide components, which allow for non-invasive imaging of the site through MRI and Photoacoustics.
As to why she chose this as her project, Zhang explains that she was surprised when looking at the survival rates of patients receiving cancer treatment. As cancer stem cells are resistant to many forms of cancer treatment, it seemed like an area worth focusing on. Her nanoparticle is award-winning due to the fact it has the potential to overcome cancer resistance while offering up the ability to monitor the effects of the treatment in real-time using existing imaging techniques.
Zhang's achievement is impressive considering she is only 17 years old, but also due to the level of understanding required to create such a nanoparticle in the first place. She has spent over 1,000 hours since 2009 researching and developing the particle, and wants to go on to study chemical engineering, biomedical engineering, or physics. Her dream job is to be a research professor.
The Siemens Competition is in its 13th year and aims to highlight talent at the high school level for those interested in science research. Last year 15-year-old Benjamin Clark won the Individual category for his work into how stars are born. In 2009 Ruoyi Jiang won for his research into chemotherapy drug resistance.
I think we can all agree this is a very worthwhile competition, and long may it continue if it pushes young minds to create solutions to some of our biggest problems.

This is a continuation of the story of my family history research trip to Hawaii. It was our second to last day in Honolulu, and we had a second appointment with the curator at Washington Place. This was the home built by Captain John Dominis for his wife, Mary Lambert Jones, sister to my 4x great grandmother, Catherine Plummer Jones. The Jones family was from Boston, and so he built her a grand, New England style home in Honolulu. We had visited Washington Place the previous week, and were happy to see it one more time before returning home.
After driving by Washington Place all week, I began to appreciate its location and its architecture even more at the second visit. It was within walking distance of where our cruise ship docked, and so imagine that in the 1830s Capt. Dominis could see or walk to his shipping interests in Honolulu harbor. Now, it is near the Hawaii State Capitol building, Iolani Palace and other governmental offices downtown. It certainly is a prime location. And it certainly looks very grand, so in the 1840s it must have been considered very palatial for Honolulu!
We went over the family tree in detail with the curator at this meeting, and I'll be sending her my updated descendant report on all the Jones family. We also explored the family tree of the Emersons who are buried at the Queen Lili'uokalani church in Haleiwa, and some of the other names of early Honolulu settlers who came from Boston. There may or not be family relationships between some of these folks. Now I have letters from people like Captain Charles Brewer and Reverend Andrew Yates to Mary Dominis, and I hope to find out how they are or aren't family.
After this meeting we finally found the statue of Queen Lili'uokalani. It was right behind Iolani Palace and the Hawaii State Archives, actually tucked next to the State Capitol building. It was easy to miss, because of several huge banyan trees growing nearby. We had been to Iolani Palace three times, so this was our fourth trip! I had meant to ask a cousin for directions, but it had always slipped my mind.
I was quite emotional when we were finally standing next to this statue. We were alone and the area was so peaceful and quiet. Many other people had left flower offerings at her feet. Suddenly I felt compelled to remove the leis I had been given the previous day, and draped them on the Queen's outstretched hand. I was so grateful to finally find her, and see her home, and find all the family letters and cousin connections. I'll never forget that moment.
Later that day we drove along the west coast of Oahu, making an almost complete circuit of the island. There is one small place where the roads do not connect. It was near the end of our vacation and seeing (almost) the entire shoreline of Oahu was my Hubby's goal. Of course, we had been upgraded to a nice Volvo convertible by the rental company, so driving anywhere in Oahu was fun!
We ended the day with our usual walk along Waikiki Beach, and had dinner at another hotel's poolside grill. The sun was setting over the water to the west, which is something we don't see back home in New England, and the last surfers of the day were catching a few last waves. The duet of singers at this restaurant ended their set of music with Lili'uokalani's "Aloha Oe" which was a very nice end to our beautiful day in Hawaii.

Heather, Thanks for visiting my blog. When you talked about the grapes, it refreshed my memory about making grape juice. We had to separate the grapes and be on the look out for spiders. Next was pull the off and put them in one of those large pots. Next was adding water and sugar and after cooking dump the mixture in a upside down cone shaped funnel with holes and for the juice thru with wooden pole.ReplyDelete
I had to laugh that you do not do it anymore. I will freeze thing however.
I love your Hawaii pictures.
I've enjoyed your Hawaii series. Our family visited when I was a teenager and many of the things you write about have brought back fond memories that had been long forgotten.ReplyDelete

"Free verse" occupies that part of the prose/poetry continuum which has "blank verse" on the one side and "prose poetry" on the other.
Blank verse is an unrhymed sequence of iambic pentameters (e.g. as in Milton's Paradise Lost). Other similar forms are not very common in English poetry; but examples in German might be the unrhymed tetrameters of Goethe and Heine. (I exclude unrhymed Greek and Latin verse, as this is constructed by length of syllable, not stress.)
Prose poetry on the other hand has the heightened diction, repetitions, rhythmic recurrences, emotive content, etc. that we are accustomed to find in poetry, but it is presented as prose and organised by the paragraph, not by the line or block of lines. An example would be the Dream Fugue of De Quincey; cf. also the prose poems of Baudelaire and Rimbaud.
Between them you find "free verse". This is sometimes fully or partly rhymed, and loosely based upon standard metrical units (as in the free verse of T.S. Eliot); but more commonly the rhythm varies from line to line, or at least between groups of lines, as in the Cantos of Ezra Pound, or the poems of William Carlos Williams and D.H. Lawrence.
The line-breaks are significant in free verse, by the way, because once you discard regularities of rhythm and rhyme, you are left with very few ways of emphasising particular words or phrases. Words at the beginning and end of a line seem more significant to the reader; and when free verse is read aloud, line-ends are also where the natural pauses occur (another form of emphasis).
The result is that writers of free verse tend towards a presentation in which the distribution of lines reflects the syntax.
Alternatively, they may well insert line-breaks in unusual places, for effect.
Best wishes,

A family in the village of Walkden, a suburb of Manchester in the United Kingdom, were shocked to find a photo of their young son in the nude outside his grandmother's house online.
It was yet another privacy gaffe from the Google Street View project, which uses camera-equipped cars to photograph streetscapes from all angles.
The toddler was naked save for a pair of shoes and seen from the rear in one photo, with another photo showing his face but with his body blocked by a fence.
The boy's mother, Claire Rowlands, was not pleased. "It's such a clear image, I see it as an indecent photograph – my concern is that paedophiles could see it and there's no way I ever wanted my son to be seen naked all over the world," she told the Manchester Evening News.
It's not the first time that Street View cameras have caught people in compromising positions -- from passed-out drunk to urinating in public.
Google blurred the photo, and stuck to its statements regarding earlier incidents that users who find indecent or offensive content can flag photographs. Google's software already blurs faces and license plates.
Of course, Britain is no stranger to constant surveillance -- in 2006, there were 4.2 million cameras closed-circuit cameras on the island, or one camera for every 14 residents, and the number has been growing.
The United Kingdom is currently investigating whether the Mountain View-based company broke local privacy laws when Street View cars captured private, unsecured data to and from wireless networks while driving by.
Jackson West was glad Google wasn't around when he played in the garden as a toddler au-naturel -- however, he's pretty sure his mother took plenty of embarrassing photos.

Police described Nicole as having a 'number of vulnerabilities'.
Detective Chief Inspector Vanessa Rolfe is leading the search for Nicole.
She said: "We are doing everything we can to find Nicole and as more time passes we are becoming increasingly worried about her welfare.
"Nicole has links to a very large geographical area of the country and that is why a lot of our work is being done outside of West Yorkshire.
"We do know that Nicole asked a female driver in Wakefield for a lift to Hull (who said 'no') and I am appealing directly to anyone else who may have been asked for a lift to come forward urgently.
"Nicole is a vulnerable teenager who we need to trace urgently."
Police are now making a direct appeal to members of the public to help by looking out for Nicole and by sharing our appeal through social media.
Nicole has been described her as 5ft3 with long brown hair and a burn scar on the side of her nose.

National Australia Bank (NAB) is to launch a new banking app for Windows Phone customers early next week.
"We are seeing quite a lot of customers now requesting, or have in the past, saying that they really want to be able to access an application or NAB through the Windows platform, particularly the Windows Phone," the bank's general manager of Digital Services, Chris Smith, said.
Users will be able to pin a live tail to the home screen of the app, which is a functionality that exists on the Windows platform but doesn't exist on others, NAB said.
For example, using the exchange rates calculator, users can pin a currency conversion rate to their home screen and have it automatically update a couple times per hour.
The exchange rates calculator also allows users to calculate the type of rate such as telegraphic transfers, travellers' cheques, or international drafts.
Users can locate the nearest ATM and branch from their current location via native Bing maps and receive directions and can measure the distance from their current location. It also provides branch opening hours.
The home screen is where customers can login to do their online banking using either their NAB ID and password or a four-digit password which they can set up when first loading the app.
NAB said customer requests was the main reason for its interest in developing a Windows Phone app.
"We're listening to our customers' requests as opposed to relying on data to purely drive the decisions for which platforms we will and won't support," the bank's head of mobile and emerging technologies, Ben Forsyth, said.
"In excess of 80 per cent of our current mobile banking volumes are coming from apps, it's very likely that people in that platform will gravitate towards the native app experience."
IDC has projected that shipments of Windows Phone will displace Apple iOS to become the number two OS running smartphones in 2016, with Nokia, which is making Windows Phone-based devices, seen to be as strong in emerging markets.

Concerns have been raised after the Chief Constable George Hamilton announced that the PSNI is facing a further 6% cut in its budget - totalling around £40.5 million.
The news comes after Mr Hamilton this week apologised after a Twitter exchange in which he advised a junior officer who claimed to be suffering stress that he could leave the PSNI.
The exchange prompted an outpouring of claims from rank and file officers that they are suffering excessive stress due to under-staffing. The PSNI and Policing Board maintain that staffing levels are in line with independently assessed requirements.
In a statement, the Chief Constable said the PSNI budget has already been cut by a quarter of a billion pounds in the past five years - and that this would have paid the salary of 1000 officers.
He said: "Finding more efficient, effective ways to deliver our service is an ongoing challenge," he said. "We have to live within our budget and find savings. In the last five years the police budget has been cut by over a quarter of a billion pounds, which equates to salary costs of over 1,000 officers. Our police staff, who are critical to delivering policing in Northern Ireland have also been reduced by over 300 through the Voluntary Exit Scheme. In addition, I've been asked by the Department of Justice to look at further cuts for next year of up to 6% which is around £40.5m."
On Wednesday the News Letter asked Justice Minister Claire Sugden and the PSNI what they were doing to secure funds to bring the PSNI up to the Patten standard of 7500 officers - some 600 short of current levels.
Justice Minister Claire Sugden told the News Letter: "I am committed to providing the Chief Constable with the resources he needs to keep the community safe. He and I maintain regular contact on these issues."
The PSNI declined to comment but referred to a Policing Board statement which said that said staffing levels had been independently reviewed in 2013 and cut to 7000.
The Patten recommendation for peace time policing was 7500 officers, although the Police Federation says the PSNI is currently 600 short of this and that even this level was not envisaged as adequate to cope with such a high dissident threat.
UUP MLA Doug Beattie called on the Chief Constable to publicly reject the latest proposed cuts.
"The police are constantly being asked to do more with less," said the former RIR Captain. "They expect the PSNI to function as though it is a 'carry-on-regardless' force.
"But the reality is that by making year-on-year cuts we are undermining the the ability of officers to do what we are want them to do."
The recent panel report on paramilitarism called for an increase in community policing, he said.
He believes that the currently accepted staffing level for the PSNI of just under 7000 officers is decided upon after the budget has been set - and is not set by actual policing needs.
"I welcome these comments by the Chief Constable - but he now needs to be saying 'no - with the level of resources you are giving me I cannot do the job'" the MLA said.
"He needs to be saying this forcefully and vocally and needs to produce the plan that proves that without the right resources he cannot do it."
"I am staggered that the Policing Board is ignoring this and I am staggered that the Stormont Executive is ignoring this - the level of officers required even for policing, as set down in Patten."
"We would support the Chief Constable on what are operational matters," she said. "Policing policy should not dictated by numbers in a report [Patten] but by those at a senior level within the PSNI. They are the people who are best placed to allocate where their funding is most needed and the staffing levels they require.
"Both the Executive and the UK Government have provided money for policing and counter terrorism, with additional funding for police referenced in the Fresh Start Agreement. We welcome that recent recruitment drives have taken place and officers are already on the ground."
Asked to comment, Sinn Fein said today simply that it is it is "committed to working to ensure funding is protected for front line policing to ensure safer communities".
A Policing Board spokeswoman also responded to Mr Beattie's criticim.
"On the back of the recent report published by the HMIC, the Board will discuss and agree with the Chief Constable the workforce mix necessary to deliver policing services in Northern Ireland," she said.
"As part of those discussions the funding required to support this will be reviewed and any pressures facing the service will be highlighted to the Department of Justice / NI Executive.
"The NI Executive has also recently commissioned all Departments to conduct an assessment of the impact of a range of potential budget reductions for the period 2017-2020. The Board and the PSNI will be discussing the impact of those once the scenarios are compiled."
The PSNI has been asked to comment.

Surely there were many New England Patriots fans happy to see the Baltimore ravens stun the Denver Broncos in last week's AFC divisional playoff. But none happier than Boston Bruins television play-by-play man Jack Edwards.
While the 113-day NHL lockout was a bummer for pro hockey fans, it turned Edwards's life upside down. Edwards, a graduate of Oyster River High School and the University of New Hampshire, was one of only two NESN employees not to be paid during the lockout. (Edwards's booth partner and fellow UNH alum and former Wildcat hockey player Andy Brickley was the other).
So Edwards's wife, Lisa, took on some freelance work behind the scenes with the NFL Network, requiring her to travel to wherever the playoffs were played. And since the Edwardses home school their three kids, Justin Tucker's overtime kick to beat the Broncos (and the Patriots' subsequent win over the Texans) was much appreciated in the Edwards household.
"You marry a woman because you appreciate her in so many different ways," Edwards said in a telephone interview from his home in Connecticut. "My wife went from zero to 80, like a sports car. It's incredible what she has done. If she couldn't pull this off, we're in trouble."
Edwards knows he has it better than most among those (other than coaches and players) who count on an NHL season to make a living. But his story highlights the unseen chaos caused by the whole debacle. He told a story about an employee at the TD Garden with whom he is friendly.
"She works concessions and she works three jobs. Last season she had just gotten through her second round of chemo," Edwards said. "And she's a single mother. She lost 13 nights of work because of this. I don't need to go on, do I?"
A longtime broadcaster of many sports on many different networks, Edwards is a certified hockey nut. He's thrilled to be back calling Bruins games on NESN (starting this Saturday against the Rangers), but he, like many fans, is exasperated that the lockout lasted as long as it did.
"How could the trigger pullers on this thing do what they did to hockey?" Edwards said. "How could they do that? It begs the question — do the guys at the top really love the game? It makes you wonder."
What baffled Edwards most about the lockout was how unnecessary it all seemed. After the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011 and the Los Angeles Kings the following year, interest in the sport was at an all-time high and teams were signing players to record contracts.
"The last three champions were Chicago, Boston and L.A. Seven different Stanley Cup champions in seven years since the last lockout (in 2005)," he said. "The train had more passengers and was carrying more valuable freight than it had since it left the station like 90 years ago when this thing became a league.
"For a league to be as healthy as it was after fans have spent so much of disposable income in the crappiest economy we have known in our lives, unless you're my father's age, it left me dumbstruck," he continued. "I would wake up in every morning in disbelief that it was going on."
As far as the league's immediate future, Edwards said pro hockey will continue to be a draw in traditional markets such as Boston, New York and Detroit and in Canada.
"In major hockey markets, the game could go away for two years and it would still be the hottest ticket in town," he said. "You get this game in your soul and you can't separate it. You can read the Canadian blogs and the fan comments and there are people who say they'll never go back. I would put money against that, and I'm not a betting man."
It's non-traditional hockey markets like Dallas and Phoenix that have Edwards worried.
"Dallas has a bad building because it's huge and it's a non-traditional hockey market," he said. "The team is OK but not great, and there's nothing about it that makes you say 'Oh my God, I gotta see that team play.' Places like Florida, which had a really good season last year but has fallen off the radar, right after they made the playoffs for the first time since the last lockout. Teams like Columbus, just getting off the ground. Nashville is completely overextended financially."
Edwards said he frets a 'bi-polar reaction' to the lockout, where the big winners fill the buildings and continue to get high TV ratings, while the non-traditional markets continue to struggle unless they make a surprising run at the Stanley Cup. He said he hopes to see more franchises leave weak hockey markets and go to where the game is better appreciated, such as when the Atlanta Thrashers moved to Winnipeg in 2011.
"You gotta go where they love you," he said. "And the sooner the NHL gets that message and allows weak franchises to move to strong areas of interest, the better everyone will do."
As for this year's Bruins team, Edwards said the window is open for the team to make another run at the Cup.
"You have to look at every successful team — they have a window to win a championship," Edwards said. "For the Bruins, that window is based on the stability Zdeno Chara gives the entire team. The more times Doug Hamilton and Zdeno Chara can wear the same uniform, the better the prospects are for a championship. It was very important this season was played for the Bruins."
Another big key for the Bruins is how well goalie Tuukka Rask performs in his first year as the team's No. 1 netminder.
"We've seen that in 10-12 game spurts, the guy can be as good as anybody on the planet," Edwards said. "When he's on it, it just seems that the puck is going to hit him. He's so solid and so smooth that you can see why, since he was a teenager, people said this guy is going to be great. He's waited his entire career, and has worked very hard his entire career, to have the chance that he's got right now."
Despite the damage the league did to itself with the lockout, in the long run Edwards thinks the game of hockey will rise above the pettiness.
"This game gets in your soul like very few other events in sports do," Edwards said. "The places where the fans are crazy about it, they'll always be crazy about it."
And so will Edwards.

On May 15, Greenpeace India activists protested outside Delhi Power Minister, Haroon Yusuf's residence. The activists rolled out six solar panels weighing over 250 KG in front of his gate to urge him to introduce a renewable energy policy for Delhi.
The activists were violently removed by the police but their persistent demands ensured a meeting with the Minister. He was noncommittal on a timeline for a strong policy on renewable energy. However, he did agree to forward the Greenpeace report and recommendations to the Delhi Electricity Regulatory Commission (DERC) for future action.

This blog is a long, somewhat messy photo essay on the history and politics of design. Design's socio-historical context—that is, the constraints and influences on the way we make objects, dwellings and cities—seems too often ignored. We no longer know where our styles, tastes or objects really come from, and this damages our creativity and sense of meaning. Historical knowledge is so fugitive in the New World, with everything so decontextualized in the rapid flow of commodities and images. Don't even get me started on tumblr and pinterest.
As Fran Lebowitz said, "Designers now, they all have these things called mood boards. I suppose they think a sense of discovery equals invention. It would be as if every writer had a board with paragraphs of other writers—'Oh, I'll take a little bit of this, and that, he was really good.' Yes, he was really good! And that is not a mood board, it is a stealing board."

I Rock, I Suck, I am - Jumpstart Your Journey to Agile
Location: Ballroom A Level:
So you've read Kent Beck's white book and heard him speak at RailsConf 2008. Agile yet?
Why not? Being Agile is not a destination or a happening. It's a journey.
It took me 6 years, 4 companies, 6 jobs and 11-ish projects to make that journey. Now I feel confident enough to say that every day I am an Agile Engineer. Along the way I've spotted some patterns in philosophy, environment and tactics that can help jump-start a willing programmer down this path.
Like any journey, having an experienced guide is a good idea. Come listen to what one engineer has learned to see if it helps you.
Davis W. Frank
Pivotal Labs
Davis has coded, managed, and wrangled at Intel, Broderbund, Handspring/Palm, a couple of forgettable startups and is now an Agile Engineer at Pivotal Labs in San Francisco.
He misses Grunge, loves great barbecue, and expects live fish to stay in water at all times.
Comments on this page are now closed.
@Joel – Thanks for the notes. Maybe that's a good talk for next year? Make sure to check out Pivotal Blabs for various topics, including lots of good Agile stuff
Interesting talk and the speaker seems like a nice guy who is very professional and very helpful. I think he'd be a good colleague to work with some day. I would have liked to have seen him discuss more of his favorite tools - that would have left me with more actionable things to follow-up on after the talk. His overall message was good, but more specific examples of good vs bad agile practices would have helped a bit. Thanks!
Here's the Remote Pairing / "AWESOME" screen sharing post
Many of you asked about the "Awesome Screen Sharing" Leopard app. I'll post links/instructions to the Pivotal Blabs blog (pivotallabs.com/blabs) in a few days. Hope it helps you all.
And if you haven't yet, please rate the talk if you were there.
Very nice collection of useful Agile tips

Running CTP as a Windows Service
This article describes how to install CTP as a Windows service. It is intended for administrators who want CTP to start automatically when its host computer starts and shut down cleanly when its host computer shuts down. This is the most convenient way to run CTP on a Windows system for applications in which CTP acts a resource for a clinical trial or as a front-end to another system. This article is written for Windows Vista and Windows 7, but it also works for Windows XP if you ignore the issues associated with User Account Control.
1 Background
The CTP installer program is a self-extracting program that copies all the necessary files into a directory called CTP wherever the user requests it to be created. The installer creates a windows subdirectory containing these files:
- CTP.exe - the service which is run by the Windows service manager. It starts and stops the CTP.jar program.
- CTPw.exe - the service monitor which allows the administrator to adjust the parameters which determine how CTP.jar runs.
- install.bat - the Windows batch job which installs the CTP.exe service and provides a default set of parameters.
- uninstall.bat - the Windows batch job which uninstalls the CTP.exe service.
To run CTP as a Windows service, the 32-bit Java must be installed. (This is necessary anyway, even for non-service CTP installations, since most applications of CTP require the JAI ImageIO Tools, which are only available in a 32-bit version. In any application, it is not possible to mix 32-bit and 64-bit libraries on a Windows system.)
2 Installing the CTP Service
To install the service:
- Log into Windows in an account with administrator privileges
- Launch a command window with administrator privileges
- Click Start
- Type cmd
- Type Ctrl-Shift-Enter
- Navigate to the CTP directory
- Enter the command: install.bat
- Close the command window
3 Uninstalling the CTP Service
To uninstall the service:
- Log into Windows in an account with administrator privileges
- Launch a command window with administrator privileges
- Click Start
- Type cmd
- Type Ctrl-Shift-Enter
- Navigate to the CTP directory.
- Enter the command: uninstall.bat
- Close the command window
4 Changing the Service Parameters with the CTP Service Monitor
The CTPw.exe program provides control over all the parameters that the service uses. To run the program, right-click the program and select Run as administrator. It displays this CTP Properties dialog:
The properties dialog can be used to start or stop the service manually, but it is generally better to use the Windows service manager.
4.1 Changing the Startup Type
The CTP service is initially configured to require that the service be started manually. This can be changed to Automatic on the General tab if it is necessary that the service start automatically when the host computer starts.
4.2 Changing the Java Parameters
The CTP service is initially configured to allocate 128MB to the Java memory pool and to allow the memory pool to expand to 512MB if necessary as it runs. For most applications, this is sufficient. For systems which implement many pipelines handling large images or which employ pipeline stages which build large databases, it may be desirable to change these settings. To do so, click the Java tab to see this page:
4.3 Changing Other Parameters
If you upgrade your Java and the Use default box is checked on the Java tab, the service will switch to the new Java the next time it starts. If you have multiple Java versions and you want to run a different one, uncheck the box and specify the path to the jvm.dll file.
Sophisticated administrators may consider changing the account under which the service runs. This can be done on the Log On tab.
Do not change the Java Classpath parameter, even if you are a developer and you think you must. The Java Classpath parameter is only used to get CTP.jar running. After that, CTP uses its own classloader, which ignores the classpath. See Extending CTP, and note especially Building an Extension JAR. If you want all the details about CTP classloading, see The CTP JarClassLoader.
5 Technical Details
This section is included for the interested technophile. It contains secret, highly technical information which will make you extremely attractive to women. Proceed at your own risk.
The CTP.exe program is the Apache Commons Daemon which is used to run Tomcat. It is used here with no modification except to change its name. The name defines the name by which the Windows service manager knows the service, and it cannot be changed without uninstalling the service and reinstalling it under a new name.
The install.bat file provides all the parameters required to make it launch CTP.jar. The CTP installer modifies a template install.bat file when it installs the file in the CTP\windows directory, replacing the ${home} fields with the actual path to the CTP directory. This is the template file:
CTP.exe ^ //IS//CTP ^ --Install=${home}\windows\CTP.exe ^ --Description="RSNA CTP Service" ^ --Jvm=auto ^ --Classpath=${home}\CTP.jar;${home}\libraries\util.jar ^ --StartMode=jvm ^ --JvmMs=128 ^ --JvmMx=512 ^ --StartPath=${home} ^ --StartClass=org.rsna.ctp.ClinicalTrialProcessor ^ --StartMethod=startService ^ --StartParams=start ^ --StopMode=jvm ^ --StopPath=${home} ^ --StopClass=org.rsna.ctp.ClinicalTrialProcessor ^ --StopMethod=stopService ^ --StopParams=stop ^ --LogPath=${home}\logs ^ --StdOutput=auto ^ --StdError=auto
The full set of parameters which the service supports is listed on the Apache Commons website.
The uninstall.bat file is very simple:
CTP.exe //DS//CTP
The CTPw.exe program is the Apache service monitor which is part of the Commons Daemon project. It is used here with no modification except to change the name. The name of the program must correspond to the name of the service program. For example, CTPw.exe corresponds to CTP.exe, and tomcat6w.exe corresponds to tomcat6.exe.
Two changes are planned for the CTP service implementation:
- CTPw.exe will be modified so that it elevates its privileges automatically so the user can simply double-click it to run it. This will still present the UAC dialog, but it will at least simplify the launch of the program.
- An application will be provided to do the service installation without having to launch a command window and navigate to the CTP directory.
Neither of these changes will invalidate the instructions and description provided in this article.

Report: Girl kicked out of KFC story a hoax
Incident in Mississippi cooked up as a stunt to raise money,
The heart-wrenching story of a disfigured 3-year-old girl being kicked out of a KFC in Mississippi is reportedly a hoax.
Victoria Wilcher was left scarred following an attack by her grandfather's pit bulls.
Her grandmother's claim that she was told to leave a KFC in Jackson because of her appearance made international headlines and sparked public outcry. It also resulted in at least $135,000 in cash, as well as gifts and free surgeries, according to the Laurel Leader-Call.
Sources told the newspaper the whole thing was cooked up as an elaborate publicity stunt to raise money.
Security footage does not show Victoria or her grandmother at the KFC in question the day the incident reportedly occurred. No one placed their order of sweet tea and mashed potatoes that day either, according to the Leader-Call.
A statement posted to the Victoria's Victories Facebook page, likely by the girl's aunt, denied that the story was invented.
"I promise its not a hoax, I never thought any of this would blow up the way it has. The article circling the web calling this a hoax is untrue. The article it self say the investigation is not complete. It is not over until KFC releases a statement. The media outlet running this story is not connected with KFC. The family has not asked for anything, a attorney is handling all the media publicity for the family pro bono. Please do not believe untrue media. I have personally watched this family go without to provide for Victoria. They have not and would not do anything to hurt Victoria in any way."
KFC officials have said they will honor their donation to the family even if the incident is proven as a hoax.

When hiring a pilot, flight evaluations and background checks should be standard procedure, but in today's pilot-shortage market, some operators might just be happy to find a pilot willing to work for what they are paying. The following account looks at a pilot's background from training through employment.
According to the FAA, this pilot obtained a student pilot certificate on Jan. 7, 2004, and soon enrolled full time at a local helicopter flight school in Scottsdale, Ariz. On Feb. 4, 2004, he failed his initial private pilot check ride. He then obtained an additional 9.8 hr of flight instruction, and subsequently passed a second check ride with the same DPE. According to the president of the flight school, the pilot continued his enrollment. However, he reported that the pilot's overall performance was poor and that he had a series of failed phase checks and displayed an overall knowledge shortfall.
On May 29, 2004, the pilot successfully completed a check ride for a commercial helicopter certificate, as well as a helicopter instrument rating. On Sept. 25, 2004, the pilot failed his initial CFI check ride. He then obtained an additional two hr of helicopter flight instruction, and passed a second check ride with the same DPE.
The school's president reported that the pilot expressed an open interest in working for the flight school once he obtained the required certificates. However, after reviewing the pilot's past performance and while closely monitoring his recent progress, he along with other personnel collectively decided not to offer the pilot a position. Additionally, they elected to discontinue any further flight training activities with the pilot citing serious safety issues and concerns.
On Oct. 26, 2004, the pilot was hired as a flight instructor for a large helicopter flight school. The pilot's employment was terminated due to a series of unheeded warnings concerning safety related standards and his overall lack of performance.
On July 25, 2005, the pilot applied for a job in Kansas as a flight instructor with an operator of Robinson R22 and R44 helicopters. The owner reported that his pre-employment interview for any prospective flight instructor includes an in-depth oral interview, a written aptitude test and flight examinations in both an R22 and R44. The owner flew with the pilot in an R44, and had the flight school's DPE fly with him in an R22. The owner reported that the pilot performed well below acceptable standards in all three categories and was not offered a position.
On Aug. 11, 2005, the pilot traveled to Tennessee to interview with a helicopter tour operator. The manager stated that the pilot attended a three-day interview session that included 17.7 hr of flight time in an R44. The manager reported that at the conclusion of the interview, the pilot was not hired. On Aug. 18, 2005, a flight school in Scottsdale, Ariz. hired the pilot part-time as a primary helicopter flight instructor in an R22, and to conduct local area sightseeing tours in an R44. She reported that she had not flown with the pilot before he was hired, nor was she required to under Title 14, CFR Part 91 flight ops. She said that prior to hiring the pilot she relied on a verbal recommendation from another flight instructor in the area.
On Oct. 3, 2005, the pilot interviewed with a large offshore helicopter operator and was hired. According to the operator, after completing his initial Part 135 ground school he began his initial flight training in an EC-120. According to the chief pilot, he accumulated about 10 hr of dual instruction, but was unable to achieve the minimum standards required to pass a Part 135 check ride. The pilot's employment was terminated and he returned to Scottsdale.
On Dec. 4, 2005, another large offshore helicopter operator hired him and he began flight training in Bell 206s. After completing his initial ground and flight training, he satisfactorily completed his initial 14 CFR Part 135 check ride. He was then assigned as a pilot of Bell 206s operating offshore in the Gulf of Mexico.
On his days off he continued to fly for the Scottsdale flight school and on Feb. 22, 2006 he departed the Scottsdale, Ariz. airport in an R22 on an introductory flight. This 45-min flight was a gift from a friend to the passenger. About six min later, the helicopter was destroyed during an uncontrolled descent and subsequent collision with the terrain. The pilot and the passenger died.
A witness reported that the helicopter began to descend rapidly and eventually started spinning counter-clockwise. As the helicopter's descent rate increased the main rotor blades slowed and the helicopter entered a near vertical descent. The witness noted that as the helicopter descended vertically the main rotor blades had stopped turning and appeared to be bent upwards. The witness said he could not hear any engine sounds during the helicopter's descent and watched until it descended behind a row of houses.
The NTSB determined the probable cause of this accident as a loss of engine power during cruise flight for an undetermined reason, and the pilot's failure to maintain rotor rpm, which resulted in an uncontrolled descent and collision with terrain.
Failing to check a pilot's background before you hand them the keys can be a deadly mistake.

A little while ago my sons - who were in grade 5 and grade 8, respectively, at the time - came home deep in discussion begun on the school bus after Son #2's first sex ed lesson.
I listened to them talk. You couldn't really fault the accuracy of the information received. Male human… female human… different-but-complementary body parts, the names of which were correctly recalled…sperm, egg, uterus…
"But how do the egg and the sperm get together?" asked Son #2.

Summit of Sawel looking NE
Lording it over Derry and Tyrone
Short Summary created by Harry Goodman, gerrym 12 Sep 2010
Two popular start points for Sawel are (1) from the E on the high pass on the Sperrin Road at
. A fenceline goes up W and provides a sure guide to the summit area. At
, a fence junction, go right up to the trig pillar. (2) From the W on the Cranagh to Park road at
with ample of road parking near a cattle grid. Just N along the road a fence can be followed up ESE to Dart Mt. From the top head NE down a rocky slope to a wide saddle
and then up along a fence to a junction. The summit lies a short distance NE on the other side
. With two cars these two routes can be combined to make a fine linear walk. Longer alternatives allow approaches on foot from the B47 in the Glenelly Valley and give increased opportunities to savour the delights to come but add considerably to the distance walked. These include starting at the Sperrin Heritage Centre at
. Sawel has the honour of being the County Top for both Derry and Tyrone. While the accepted view in the past has been a shared summit alternative views posted on the site now suggest that the high point of Tyrone may lie either some 30/40 metres S of the trig pillar or within 3 metres from it. The debate continues! Walking here is usually done without meeting others and the weather can be pretty bad on occasion so come well prepared for sudden changes in weather. The views are stunning on a good day, from one side of Ireland to the other!

wicklore on Sawel, 2008
31 Oct 2008
At 6:50am on Tuesday morning last I sat in my car on the lonely Barnes Road to the east of Sawel at
. I was parked at a double gate, but careful not to block it. The outside temperature gauge read -1 Celsius and it was dark. Terrible weather was predicted but so far it had just rained. I spent some time getting my full winter gear on as I waited for the sun to rise. At 7:20 when it was light I headed up along the fence which led from the road up the eastern side of Sawel. It was soon joined by another fence and I continued to follow it east for the next 1.5 hours. Gerrym's comment on the fence leading almost to the summit provided comfort as a shocking hail and snow storm unleashed itself upon me. Soon the ground was covered in icy snow and the going got much tougher. Visibility was down to maybe 30 feet at times but following the fence made navigation easy. However both gps and compass were constantly checked. At point
the fence veered SW and I struck off to follow the slope uphill into the freezing fog and snow. This would be the only real navigation challenge of the day, and it turned out not to be a challenge as within a few minutes I came to the summit pillar. The contrast of black and white as the pillar rose out of the frozen ground made it look like a pencil drawing. Experience told me not to leave my gloves off for more than half a minute when taking photos. Even at that my hands were freezing and made putting my gloves back on difficult. While I did not benefit from any views I had bagged two County Tops with one mountain. The severe weather and the fact I was alone meant an extension to Dart Mountain was out of the question. I simply retraced my route back to the fence and followed it down to the road just over 2 kms away. While the fence made this route a straightforward handrail to the summit, it provided a great safe route to test winter gear in such weather. One thing that surprised me was that large balls of compact ice formed under my boots, providing me with 'stilts'. Possibly the snow was getting caught in my gaiter straps underfoot, and then forming into lumps. Walking poles were used to knock these off every so often, but it was the first time I had experienced this.

Derry / Tyrone County Top
23 Aug 2010
As I near the completion of my 2010 County Tops challenge, I would like to inform my fellow County Toppers about something I've recently learned about Sawel Mountain. A few weeks ago, I followed the "county boundary" fence to the summit from Sperrin Road. The fence passes about 10m west of the summit trig pillar which supposedly marks the County Top of Derry. I walked westwards from it to the highest point along the fence about 10m west. There were two small boulders - one each side of the fence - which served nicely as a stile. The boulder on the west side of the fence seemed the most likely location of the County Top of Tyrone, so I felt a need to stand on it. I realise there can be a lack of precision associated with certain County Tops (see my MV entry for Seltannasaggart SE Slope), and I wanted to be absolutely sure about this one too. OSNI 1:50,000 Sheet 13 and 1:25,000 Sperrins Activity Map both show the county boundary passing very close to the Sawel Mountain trig pillar. In fact, the Sperrins Activity Map clearly shows the boundary deviating away from the fence to possibly pass through the pillar. I checked with OSNI, and they've informed me that the county boundary is an "undefined" boundary (i.e. one which is not coincident with any feature). If the fence had marked the boundary, it would have been a "defined" boundary. This confirms that the fence, used by many people as a navigational guide to the summit, doesn't mark the county boundary. OSNI also checked the location of the trig pillar and the county boundary on their digital mapping. From this, they measured that the trig pillar lies 0.8m on the Tyrone side of the county boundary. However, they could only confirm an accuracy of 2m - in other words, the trig pillar could be 2.8m into Tyrone or it could just as easily be 1.2m into Derry. A townland boundary also crosses the summit, intersecting the county boundary within 2m of the trig pillar. The proximity of these two boundaries to the trig pillar and the 2m accuracy of the mapping leads me to believe that the trig pillar marks the point where the county and townland boundaries intersect. While it's not possible to pinpoint the County Top of either Derry or Tyrone based on the most accurate large-scale mapping available, there appears to be a strong possibility that the Sawel Mountain trig pillar marks the top of both counties. It certainly marks the top of at least one. If it marks the top of Derry only, then the top of Tyrone is up to 1.2m to the south of it. If it marks the top of Tyrone only, then the top of Derry is up to 2.8m to the north of it. Based on the high level of uncertainty and the tiny distances involved, it is best to assume that the trig pillar is located directly on the county boundary and marks the County Top of both Derry and Tyrone. To be absolutely sure you get both counties, walk a tight circle around the trig pillar and then spiral out gradually until you are 2.8m from it. It's the only way to be sure.

Picture from gerrym : Sawel
A 'very' Shapely Top
11 Feb 2014
Sawel may not be as exciting or as impressive as some hills in other parts of the country, but it is a special hill among a special range of hills. The fact that it is named after a part of the female anatomy (and indeed looks the part if you see the pic) can only add to the charm!
The best approach is along the high and lonely Sperrin road which heads upward out of the hamlet (even this is over descriptive) of Sperrin. Parking is available at an extensive layby at
. The road rises alongside Oughtnamwella Burn and brings increasingly impressive views over the Glenelly valley. It is most definitely worth the walk but there is also room to park at the high pass at over 1000ft - think of the exercise!
From the pass take the fenceline rising up the long E shoulder of Sawel, the going is steady with steeper sections but it is not too challenging and the fence is reassuring in poor weather - it is only near to the summit that need to leave its side and head off a short distance to the rare sight of a trig pillar in the Sperrins.
I would challenge anyone (in a duel to near death, preferably with pillows) to tell me that the views from here on a clear day can be beaten by another mountain in Ireland. Basically every county in Ulster is within sight of glazed eyes - at the amazingness of it all and in no way to do with drug use. Where else could you see nearly all of the hills of Donegal and all the way across to the hills of Antrim at the other side of Ireland? The whole of the Sperrin range is visible in all its glory, and as i have said in another comment this hill could on occasion make me briefly turn away from my steadfast atheism.
Sawel carries stature in being the highest point of the large Sperrin range and holds the weight of two county tops. For all this it is still a rare sight to see someone else on the mountain, even at the weekend, something that adds to its appeal i feel.
Return is by the same route but as you have come this far it is well worth travelling across the broad col and up to the summit of neighbouring Dart, which is different in character. Wait for a clear day, preferably one of those with a northerly breeze and the clear air that extends views and sharpness to truly experience the magic of the Sperrins - I know!

Looking east from the highest point in Tyrone
slemish on Sawel, 2009
20 Nov 2009
This was my first venture into the Sperrins and where better to start than the daddy of them all? Sawel looked majestic in the afternoon sunshine as I approached it via the road from Sperrin. Wanting a quick up and down, I parked at the second cattle grid as others suggested from here it is the easiest route up (
). It's a long climb but not too steep, only in a couple of places did I find the going tough. The summit looks incredibly far away on the initial stages so I didn't stray too far from the fence, just to avoid boggy sections. It was amazingly sunny for late November and I was enjoying the weather, but nothing prepared me for the force of the wind coming up from Dart as I approached the 678m summit. I couldn't stand at the trig pillar for more than about a minute. The trig pillar looked very weather-beaten and no wonder. The only comparable wind I had experienced before was on Trostan but this was definitely worse. Excellent views however down the ridge to Dart and Mullaghclogha, north to Sleve Snaght and Binevenagh and round to Benbradagh and the lower Sperrins. It's only up here you get a sense of the scale and indeed the wilderness of the Sperrins. To the east I could just make out the outlines of Knocklayd, Slievenanee and Slemish through the haze. I made a hurried sortie over the fence to bag the county top of Tyrone as well, then descended quickly to get out of the wind. Job done - the highest mountain I've climbed so far and the first over 2000ft. Total trip - about 1.5 hours.

kernowclimber on Sawel, 2010
1 Mar 2010
After following the weather forecast to see where we might get in a good winter climb, we settled on the Sperrins which, if the Met Office was to be believed, had apparently received some snow the day before (Fri 26th). Driving into Cookstown we caught our first real views of the Sperrins; they had indeed gotten a huge dump of snow that far exceeded our expectation. We took the first road right on the B 47 after Glenerin Bridge and just before the hamlet of Sperrin. This mountain track leads up towards the foothills of Sawel that was to be our objective for the day.
We were almost thwarted in our endeavour by the accumulation of snow on the road and not having a 4X4 and a car without its winter tyres meant it was difficult to find a place to park alongside the road where we wouldn't get stuck. We found a turning about a kilometre up the road to park safely and walked parallel to Oughtnamwella Burn to
633 952
where a gate leads into a field that is bordered by a fence. This fence that runs up towards the summit can be used as an aid to navigation in inclement conditions.
The snow was much deeper than we had thought it would be and we regretted not having our snowshoes with us, which had propelled us rapidly up Lugnaquillia last month. The snow was well over a foot deep and on the lower slopes was quite loose and mushy. Between the peat hags, it had drifted and was waist deep making it hard going to maintain upward progress.
As we ascended the snow became more compact and easier to walk on, but the temperature began to plummet. Close to the summit the cloud closed in and the wind picked up, creating poor visibility in sub-zero conditions. We located the trig point, misshapen and contorted by ice, with the aid of our GPS. As we hopped the ice laden fence to bag the highest point in Tyrone, the sinking sun appeared through the swirling cloud as a watery orb, casting an eerie, pale apricot other-worldly hue over everything. It reminded me of the planet LV-426 in Alien!
As we were being severely buffeted by icy winds at this point and thankful that our winter kit was repaying the money we had dished out on it in spadefuls, we decided to make our descent. As we came through the cloud we were greeted by the sight of the rolling landscape bathed in the rose-coloured glow of the setting sun. As we feasted our eyes on this spectacle, the near full moon drifted up from behind Oughtmore and Mullaghsallagh.
Four hours later we arrived back to our car in the twilight. We might not have had the extensive views of the north of our island so eloquently described by other members of Mountain Views, but the winter and atmospheric conditions we experienced made this climb truly memorable.

They might be at odds in the live-action Thor movie and its accompanying video games, but there is one thing Norse god of mischief Loki and earth goddess Sif agree upon, and that's Mario Kart.
GamerLive.TV has posted a series of interviews with the stars of Thor, asking the cast of this week's big comic book movie what it was like working on the Thor: God of Thunder video game with Sega. They've captured lovely Sif actress Jaime Alexander admitting she would have worked on the game for free, while Loki's Tom Hiddleston calls the experience of seeing himself as a video game character somewhat weird.
http://youtu.be/BMDq2x3tMOAWhen asked about their video game experience, both divine role-players admit a love for Nintendo's Mario Kart, while Thor himself (Chris Hemsworth) and Kat Dennings cite Donkey Kong as an early video game influence.
Thor hits theaters on May 6. The Thor: God of Thunder video game drops tomorrow.

Hi Folks,
I found a mouse for cheap and after taking some time to check out it's build quality (which is excellent), I wondered if there was a way to fit in some of the cool modifications from the VFE Alpha Dog. I like the idea of the pots for "hard" and "soft" and also the "fat" pot. Anybody got any ideas on how that may be able to get done?
Thanks in advance!

Purchase College - 75, Farmingdale State - 74
Purchase, N.Y. - The Farmingdale State women's basketball team fell 75-74 to Purchase College in a Skyline Conference match-up on Sunday afternoon in Purchase, N.Y. The Rams dropped to 9-11, 7-5 in conference play with the loss, while the Panthers improved to 14-9, 8-4.
Farmingdale State trailed 36-30 at the break, after a first half which featured five lead changes and six ties. The Rams trailed by seven at the 6:07 mark, forcing three turnovers to tie the score at 30-30. Purchase pulled away just before halftime to hold the six point lead.
In the second, Farmingdale State opened with a 10-4 run over the first three minutes, to tie the game at 40-40. The Panthers scored nine straight points for a 49-40 advantage and would hold the Rams to just five points, leading 54-45 midway through the half.
Farmingdale State chipped away and used a 15-6 run to tie the game at 60-60 on a Christina Merrill (Levittown, N.Y.) three-pointer at 3:37. But the Panthers forged ahead and led by nine (71-62) with 1:16 left to play.
In the final minute, junior guard Nicky Young (Queens, N.Y.) knocked down two three's and three free throws to single-handedly cut the Rams deficit to two, 73-71, with 26 seconds remaining in regulation. Purchase's Alexis Billups made two free throws with two seconds on the clock, putting her team up by four, 75-71.
A Nicky Young three with one second left put the Rams behind by one, but a foul and two missed free throws by Purchase would run off the final second and give the Panthers the conference victory.
For Farmingdale State, Young scored a game-high and season-high 31 points, including 5-of-8 from long range. Senior guard Nikita Green (Roosevelt, N.Y.) finished with 14 points and seven assists, while senior forward Siohban Purvis (Amityville, N.Y.) posted 12 points. Junior forward Lushanta Savadel (Bellport, N.Y.) pulled down a team-high 11 rebounds.
Purchase had four players in double figures, led by Talia Beaulieu with 21 points and 10 rebounds. Elizabeth Osowiecki tallied 16 points, Lineker St. Hilaire had 12 points and a game-high 15 rebounds. Jalisa Fields rounded out the leading scorers with 10 points.
The Rams will host NYU-Poly on Thursday, February 14th in their final regular season home game at 6:00 p.m. It will be Senior Night for Green and Purvis.
