LIVE AT THE RAINBOWFocusSymphonic Prog3.43 | 116 ratings |
From Progarchives.com, the ultimate progressive rock music website
Special Collaborator Symphonic Team |
Not focused enough After only three studio albums in as many years, Focus released this live album in 1973. In my opinion, the band had yet to reach their artistic peak at this point (which came with 1974's Hamburger Concerto). Had they waited another year or two to record their first live album, they could have made it into a double album featuring tunes from all of their four first albums which are also their best four. This could, for example, have been released in 1975 instead of the uninspired Mother Focus album to keep the Focus brand alive while the band would have had time to regain some new inspiration. Still, Live At The Rainbow is not a bad live album as it stands. It showcases Focus in the live setting performing some great early numbers. Strangely, some numbers are severely edited for no apparent reason, while others (most notably Hocus Pocus) have been extended beyond reason! I find the album as a whole reasonably enjoyable even if I feel that it could have been much better than it is. It is worth hearing for sure, but it does not hold up well in comparison with many other classic Prog bands' live albums from around the same time. Live At The Rainbow remains a good addition to any collection that already holds all of the band's four first albums, but it is by no means the ultimate place to start investigating Focus. Start instead with those studio albums. Good, but not essential

NewswireToday - /newswire/ - Toronto, Ontario, Canada, 2007/10/11 - GAO Research Inc., a leading provider of embedded communication software, announced today that it has licensed its embedded modem software solution to CEIVA Logic, Inc.
In order to provide connectivity for the device's automatic online photo updates, the suite of GAO modules chosen by CEIVA includes ITU-T standards V.34 compliant softmodem, V.42 error correction software, as well as various telephony modules and Linux drivers. The software allows the digital photo frame to be plugged into an existing phone line and silently dial a local number each night to pick up or send new photos, without interruption to one's phone service, and without charges to the line. "This is a typical scenario we encounter with many of our customers," said Dr. Frank Gao, president of GAO Research Inc. By replacing the modem chipset in their design with GAO's highly optimized software solution, CEIVA is able to achieve significant cost savings." Jim Sepe, Chief Technology Officer, at CEIVA logic said, "When CEIVA decided to upgrade our connected digital photo frames and switch from a hardware to a software based solution, we needed to ensure we retained functionality and remained highly competitive. Our choice of GAOs software modem solution allowed us to do both." Sepe also commented that, CEIVA is very pleased with the results. The optimization and performance of GAO software far exceeded our expectations and their after sales support is excellent. GAOs embedded soft-modem and fax packages include a full range of ITU-T compliant modem and fax data pumps and protocols.

Nursing Home Deaths:
Arkansas Coroner Referrals Confirm Weaknesses in State and Federal Oversight of Quality of Care
GAO-05-78: Published: Nov 12, 2004. Publicly Released: Nov 17, 2004.

- Accessible Text:
GAO was asked to assess the effectiveness of nursing home oversight by considering the effect of a unique Arkansas law that requires county coroners to investigate all nursing home deaths. Coroners refer cases of suspected neglect to the state survey agency and law enforcement entities such as the state Medicaid Fraud Control Unit (MFCU). The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) contracts with survey agencies in every state to periodically inspect nursing homes and investigate allegations of poor care or neglect. MFCUs are charged with investigating and prosecuting resident neglect. GAO examined (1) the results of Arkansas coroner investigations, (2) the state survey agency's experience in investigating coroner referrals, and (3) whether weaknesses in state and federal nursing home oversight identified in prior GAO reports were evident in the survey agency's investigation of coroner referrals.
According to the Pulaski County coroner, he referred 86 cases of suspected resident neglect to the state survey agency for the period July 1999, when the Arkansas law took effect, through December 2003. Agency officials said that other state coroners referred four cases during this time period. Importantly, these 86 referrals constituted just 2.2 percent of all nursing home deaths the coroner investigated. However, the referrals included disturbing photos and descriptions of the decedents, suggesting serious, avoidable care problems; more than two-thirds of the 86 referrals listed pressure sores as the primary indicator of neglect. Some photos of decedents' pressure sores depicted skin conditions so deteriorated that bone or ligament was visible, as were signs of infection and dead tissue. The referrals involved 27 homes, over half of which had at least 3 referrals. Arkansas state survey agency officials told GAO that they received 36 (fewer than half) of the Pulaski County coroner's referrals. The 50 referrals not received described decedents' conditions similar to those the survey agency did receive. Of the 36 referrals for alleged neglect that it received, the survey agency complaint investigations substantiated 22 and eventually it closed the home with the largest number of referrals. However, the agency's investigations often understated serious care problems--both when neglect was substantiated and when it was not. For 11 of the 22 substantiated referrals, the state survey agency either cited no deficiency for the decedent or cited a deficiency at a level lower than actual harm for the predominant care problem identified by the coroner. In contrast, MFCU investigations of many of the 11 referrals found the homes negligent in caring for decedents, and the MFCU reached settlements with the owners of several homes. In half of the 14 referrals not substantiated, the MFCU or an independent expert in long-term care either found neglect or questioned the "not substantiated" finding. Moreover, they found gaps and contradictions in the medical records for some decedents, raising a question about the survey agency's conclusions that the same records indicated appropriate care had been provided. GAO's prior work on nursing home quality of care found that weaknesses in federal and state oversight nationwide contributed to serious, undetected care problems indicative of resident neglect. GAO's review of the Arkansas survey agency's investigations of coroner referrals confirmed that serious, systemic weaknesses remain. Oversight weaknesses GAO previously identified nationwide and those it found in Arkansas included (1) complaint investigations that understated the seriousness of allegations and were not timely; (2) predictable timing of annual state surveys that could enable nursing homes so inclined to cover up deficiencies; (3) survey methodology weaknesses, coupled with surveyor reliance on misleading medical records, that resulted in missed care problems; and (4) a policy that did not always hold homes accountable for neglect associated with a resident's death.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: On June 13, 2005, CMS sent out draft guidance on past noncompliance to state survey agencies, regional offices, provider associations, and others for comment. The proposed guidance clarifies the current guidance, but only holds nursing homes accountable for past acts involving immediate jeopardy to residents, not actual harm, as GAO recommended. Update: In October 2005, CMS issued a revised past noncompliance policy that holds homes accountable for all past noncompliance resulting in harm to residents, clarifies how to address recently identified past deficiencies, eliminates the use of the term "egregious," and clarifies the methods for determining whether past noncompliance has been corrected.
Recommendation: The Administrator of CMS should revise the agency's current policy on citing deficiencies for past noncompliance with federal quality standards by holding homes accountable for all past noncompliance resulting in harm to residents, not just care problems deemed to be egregious.
Agency Affected: Department of Health and Human Services: Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: CMS has sent out draft guidance for comment on its revised non-compliance policy. The draft guidance indicates that, starting on November 1, 2005, CMS will discontinue the use of data tag F698, which signifies past noncompliance. CMS indicated it is proceeding to modify the data system so that the specific nursing home survey data tag for which there was past noncompliance is appropriately identified. However, the specific problems for which past noncompliance was cited will not be posted on CMS's Nursing Home Compare web site until sometime in 2006 due to a backlog of higher priority programming requirements. Update (2006): In December 2005, we reported that CMS plans to enhance the information on its Nursing Home Compare Web site to include the specific nature of the past noncompliance in 2007. In August 2007, I followed up with Ed Mortimore of CMS and learned that the information has been reported on the Nursing Home Compare Web site since the fall of 2006.
Recommendation: The Administrator of CMS should revise the agency's current policy on citing deficiencies for past noncompliance with federal quality standards by developing an approach for citing such past noncompliance in a manner that clearly identifies the specific nature of the care problem both in the OSCAR database and on CMS's Nursing Home Compare Web site.

Subawards: Proposal Preparation & Monitoring
Subawards: Terms & Definitions
What is a Subaward? An agreement that transfers a portion of the research or substantive effort of the prime award to another institution or organization. Subs are written under the authority of a prime award and are consistent with the terms and conditions of the prime award. A formal binding legal agreement between the University of California, Los Angeles ("UCLA") and a non-UCLA entity in which: –A defined portion of the UCLA work statement's intellectually significant activity is assigned to another entity ("the subrecipient") to fulfill; –Work is generally performed by the subrecipient's personnel using their resources, usually at their site; –The subrecipient takes full responsibility, including intellectual leadership, for the portion of UCLA's work statement that they will undertake; –The award terms and conditions UCLA has accepted from our funding agency are "flowed down" to the subrecipient, who must also agree to comply with them (e.g., audit requirements, restrictions on rebudgeting, human and animal subjects approvals, conflict of interest, clean air and water, etc.).
Common Terms Prime –Usually refers to the Sponsoring Agency of the contract, grant or cooperative agreement awarded to UCLA. Subrecipient –The legal entity to whom a subaward or subcontract is made and who is accountable to UCLA for the use of funds provided. A subrecipient has its own PI who will carry out a substantive, scholarly portion of the scope of work described in the proposal. –aka: Subawardee
Different Types of Subawards 1) Subcontract –When UCLA receives a CONTRACT, and then transfers a portion of the research or substantive effort of that contract to another institution. –UCLA Purchasing Office is responsible for issuing and monitoring subcontracts. –BruinBuy order class: S –Object Codes: 7310, 7300
Different Types of Subawards 2) Subgrant –When UCLA receives a GRANT or COOPERATIVE AGREEMENT, and then transfers a portion of the research or substantive effort of that grant or cooperative agreement to another institution. –At UCLA, it is referred to as a "subaward." –Handled, in majority, by OCGA. –BruinBuy order class: G –Object codes: 7310, 7300
Direct Cost Ceiling UCLA's Total Direct Cost = –UCLA's Direct Cost, plus (+) –Subaward's Direct Cost, plus (+) –Subaward's F&A This is also what your OCGA analyst and/or DRA's signature authority is based on. Example: DRA's cannot sign off on any proposal where UCLA's Total Direct Cost exceeds $500,000 in any given budget period. NIH Notice NOT-OD-04-040: If, in the PA or RFA, the NIH indicates there is a Direct Cost Ceiling limitation, the NIH only counts UCLA's Direct Cost + Subaward's Direct Cost towards the ceiling limit.NOT-OD-04-040 –This is to encourage collaborations outside of the PI's own institution, and not penalize a PI by counting the subaward's F&A towards the ceiling.
Direct Cost Definitions UCLA's Total Direct Cost = UCLA's DC + Sub's DC + Sub's F&A NIH Direct Cost Ceiling = UCLA's DC + Sub's DC
Scenario UCLA PI wants $100,000 to use towards his own lab. Subaward Direct Cost is $50,000, and F&A is $32,000 1. What is UCLA's Total Direct Cost? 2. Assuming the $100,000 for the UCLA PI is for salary & supplies only, what is UCLA's MTDC base? – What if the sub is to another UC? 3. What amount is counted towards the NIH's Direct Cost Ceiling? 4. What amount is counted towards an SO's signature authority?
Subawards: Proposal Preparation UCLA as prime grant recipient issuing subaward to an outside institution or other UC
Documentation Required Subaward/Subrecipient Forms Checklist –Email checklist to subrecipient to ensure correct versions of all required forms are obtained. –Subrecipient Commitment Form required. PHS 398 Face Page is no longer accepted in its place.Subrecipient Commitment Form PHS 398 Face Page –All forms must be completed/received PRIOR to proposal submission.
Subawards in S2S/Cayuse For Both Detailed (RR Budget) and Modular Budgets: –Always allow S2S to auto-calculate UCLA F&A. –Only overwrite the auto-calculated figures if you are 100% sure you are correct. HINT: S2S/Cayuse is always right! –Subawards to other UCs are entirely exempt from UCLA F&A calculations.
Subawards in S2S/Cayuse Do NOT forget to incorporate the following information from your subawards into your proposal: –Subaward's Performance Sites. –Subaward's Facilities and Other Resources information. –Subaward's Equipment. –Full Professional Profiles & Biosketchs for all subaward Key Personnel. –Under Research Plan section: Consortium/Contractual Arrangements. See S2S Subaward Review for requirements for this section.S2S Subaward Review Letter of Support from subaward PI.
Subawards in S2S/Cayuse Modular Budgets –Under the RR Subaward Budget Attachment, only need to complete a Worksheet Row for each subaward. Manually enter the subaward's direct cost and F&A amounts provided to you by the subawardee. Do NOT mark the checkbox next to the RR Subaward Budget Attachment, as the Worksheet Row data should NOT be submitted to the agency. –Under the PHS 398 Modular Budget, include the Consortium Justification. See S2S Subaward Review for items required to be included in the Consortium Justification.S2S Subaward Review
Subawards in S2S/Cayuse Detailed Budgets (RR Budget) –Institutional ProfilesInstitutional Profiles Required for proposals with detailed budgets. Allow at least a few days for the subawardee to complete the request form, and an additional few days for S2S Admin to set up the Institutional Profile in S2S/Cayuse. –In the RR Subaward Budget Attachment you will need to incorporate a complete detailed budget for each of your subawards (see next slide for 4 methods). Be sure to mark the checkbox next to the RR Subaward Budget Attachment, as the detailed budget must be included in the proposal to the agency.
Subawards in S2S/Cayuse S2S/Cayuse –4 ways to enter a detailed subaward into Cayuse: 1.Uploading the Grants.gov Adobe PDF subaward proposal packet, provided by the subawardd. 2.Importing another Institution's Cayuse/S2S proposal. 3.Subawards.com - a free service that simplifies collaboration between research institutions preparing federal grant proposals together.Subawards.com 4.UCLA Fund Manager manually enters data into Cayuse using the forms provided by the subawardee.
Subawards: Proposal Preparation UCLA as the subawardee
What about when UCLA is the subawardee? Work with your contact for the prime institution. They may have their own set of requirements. For NIH grants, more than likely, you will be required to complete the Grants.gov SF424 Adobe PDF subaward packet. –Download directly from the Grants.gov RFA/PA packet. –Available on the DOM ORA Website, under Pre-Award Forms – Subaward SF424 Adobe Budget. Pre-Award Forms – Subaward SF424 Adobe Budget
What about when UCLA is the subawardee? Create a mini-proposal which usually includes at least the following documents: –Face Page/Prime's subrecipient commitment form (aka statement of intent). –Performance Site location information. –BioSketches & Key Person Profiles for all UCLA Key Personnel. –Resources & Equipment files for UCLA PI. –Statement of Work. –Letter of Support. –Budget (usually the SF 424 Subaward Packet) and Budget Justification. Once Face Page/Subrecipient commitment form is signed by OCGA, send the mini proposal directly to your contact at the primary institution. They will then incorporate your documents into their proposal that gets submitted to the agency.
Subawards: Post Award
Post-Award Subaward Process See "Subaward Set Up" and "Subaward BruinBuy Requisition Setup" chapters in the Post-Award section of the Fund Manager's ManualSubaward Set UpSubaward BruinBuy Requisition Setup
Subaward Monitoring Ask Subawardee's Fund Manager for periodic detailed financial reports to reconcile applicability of expenses. Invoices received by the subawardee for payment MUST be approved by the PI prior to processing via Accounts Payable. –PI signs the actual invoice as indication of approval. PI is responsible for assuring work has been completed by the subawardee PRIOR to approving invoices. FINAL invoice should always have "FINAL" on them in order for EFM to close fund. In order to make any changes to the subaward, a Checklist must be completed and signed by PI. Checklist

While most of us love to "set it and forget it," the truth is that both kitchen range ovens and wall ovens need occasional oven repair or maintenance — especially since the kitchen oven can be one of the hardest working appliances in the house. According to the experts at Repair Clinic.com, here are a few of the most common oven repair and maintenance tasks, along with tips for oven troubleshooting that can help make sure your oven delivers a perfect meal every time.
Oven Repair Tips You Didn't Know You Needed

i took my oven door apart glass & all to clean it now i can't remember how it goes back.
thanks,jackieYou might want to check in with the experts at repairclinic.com. I'm pretty sure they have tech manuals on most appliances that could help.
My Thermador has a Control Panel Display window,(clock, timer, etc.) that has been replaced 2 times. It is again blank, you can't read the settings, and I will have to replace it again. It cost over $200 each time, and now I am told it's difficult to find a replacement. Purchased brand new in 2000. Do you know where I can find this part I need to replace? Model #SGC365RB Serial #20010647M Part#492071. Thank You, Margie
I know it doesn't help you now, but for anyone else reading this who might be doing it sometime soon: this is where a digital camera comes in handy. Take too many rather than too few pictures plus some hand written notes are a good idea.
After using my Sauter wall oven's self cleaning cycle the oven short circuits now!
I have an older model OR-30E which I can't find any information on. It has the usual 2 elements top and bottom and also a wire running along the top right side which is connected in 2 places. Recently one end of this wire fell off leaving it hanging and we started getting sparks flying everywhere in the oven. Does anyone know what this wire is for and can it be taken out without interfering with the working of the oven?
My wife and I will NEVER purchase ANY Kitchen Aid appliances again after suffering through a $255.00 repair bill to fix the hi-limit thermostat in the back of the wall oven that went out when we tried the self-cleaning mode. After watching the repairman fix it we realized we could have fixed it ourselves for the price of the part BUT no matter because if you do a little reserach online you'll find that this is a common problem and lots of people are fed up w/ Kitchen Aid and it's non-response to the problem. One man who had 2 ovens, one a Kitchen Aid he seldom used, after reading online all the complaints about the thing dying when using the self-cleaning mode, tried it on his and guess what? It died!
I have had this stove just a little over a year,we had it repaired under warranty and it is doing it again,the dispay oven control board is not operating it is dead I have power it just will not display or operate do you think it is the control board again or could it be something else?
My oven will not heat up anymore, and I can't figure out why. I was working yesterday, but I tried to turn it on today, and it wasn't working. It didn't even get warm, so I know something broke. I'll have to just call someone in and see what it is I need to fix.

Live In New York State?
Thursday, January 29, 2003 The Governor has proposed a serious change to the laws regarding NY state pistol permits. This is a real threat. In addition to some obnoxious new fees, this bill would cause your permit to expire every five years, and would allow local governments to impose any fee they desire on permit renewals and amendments. This means that any county judge can simply decline to renew your permit, and it's gone. It also means that the local town government can decide to impose, say, a $1000 fee every time you want to add a new gun to your permit, or when your renewal comes up. Think I'm kidding? This is what they did to the Federal Firearms Licenses (the FFLs), and they did it expressly with the purpose of reducing the number of people who could afford to hold them. This is a serious back-door gun ban. Get off your ass, right now, and call your representitive in the state senate. If we don't stop it in the senate, it won't be stopped. Remember, the Governor proposed it himself. Click here, and enter your address down near the bottom of the page; it will tell you who your representive in the state senate is, and what phone number to use to reach them. Call - do not use email! They have the same spam problems we do, and email messages are often discarded unread. Tell them that you are opposed to the part of the Governor's budget that amends Section 400.00 of the Penal Law to impose fees on pistol permits. Local reps often do listen, and a few dozen phone calls really can change their behavior. Do this now. Note: Remember, you want to talk to your representive to the state senate, not the federal senate. Hillary Clinton and Charles Schumer are not going to help us here!
I'm Probably The Only Person In America Who Is Saying This
Tuesday, January 20, 2003 ...but I think Howard Dean came out way ahead last night. The Iowa Caucus was the best thing that ever happened to him. Coming in third in Iowa was no big deal. We all know that the Iowa Caucus is not a good predictor of eventual victory, it does not closely reflect the opinions of voters in other states, and it does not award a significant number of delegates. If it didn't present such a grand opportunity for the press to hyperventilate, it would remain forever unknown and ignored, and rightly so. Dean lost only his overconfidence and his sense of privilege; he still retains his strengths. Don't forget that Dean still enjoys considerable popular support nationwide, he still has a skilled and powerful campaign organization, and he is still sitting on a ton of money. The one thing of real value that changed hands last night was the full endorsement of organized labor. With Gephardt gone, Dean is almost certain to pick up what little union support he did not already command. In my opinion, the big loser last night was Clark, because Clark is going to be in very serious trouble if he is not among the top two in New Hampshire. Last week that was a pretty good bet, but now? Clark faces three serious challengers, not just one, and all the momentum belongs to the other guys. If it turns out that the Iowa voters actually succeed in killing off Clark, Dean will be thanking them in his memoirs. What about Kerry and Edwards? Kerry was a dead man walking last week, and he's still a dead man now. Today probably marks the high water mark of his campaign. After he finishes out of the top two in New Hampshire, he's gone for good. Edwards? He's pleasant, photogenic, and hopelessly out of his league. He has his merits, but he's still a political novice who has no business running for a wartime presidency. Neither Kerry or Edwards has any real money, a national organization, or meaningful support from unions, minorities, Hollywood, or the political establishment. They will hit the remaining primaries the way a bug hits the windshield of a speeding car. One or the other of them might squeak out a close second in New Hampshire, displacing Clark and paving the way for a Dean victory. That's about the best either of them can really hope for. Dean got slapped, not hard enough to really hurt him but plenty hard enough to wake him up. He can't be careless anymore. No more foaming rants, not more conspiracy theories, no more being rude to the press. In about 24 hours a new Dean will emerge - confident, friendly, approachable, serious. That's part of what you can buy with all that money and all those expensive consultants. Dean has the power to remake himself, and he is fortunate that the motivation for this makeover has been so timely. If he had taken the lead in Iowa he'd have remained a prick right into the middle of the race, and by then it might have been too late. The race belongs to Dean. If he can keep his anger in check, keep his mouth shut, and still appeal to his supporters, he's got it in the bag. If he can't, he'll lose. It's up to him.
Come See How It's Done
Thursday, January 15, 2003 The room falls silent as the Master Craftsman takes the stage. He's among the best of his kind in the world. Today he is about to perform another of his miracles, and we all get to watch. I don't know this guys name, but I know what he does - he's a top-level political strategist, currently serving the Clark campaign, and today is when he earns his paycheck. I expect a remarkable performance. You think his job is easy? How would you get your boss out of this one? Now we learn that just two weeks before congress passed the Iraq Congressional Resolution, Clark testified before the Committee On Armed Services, making a strong case in support of the Iraq war: Read the whole thing. By any rational measure, Clark's political career has just ended, right here. How can you possibly run this guy as an anti-war candidate who opposed unilateral action in Iraq? I don't know how our Master Craftsman will do it, but I know he will. That's why he's getting paid more this year than most of us will make in our lifetimes. Watch closely, and you can learn an awful lot. Update:
Here's a link to the original documents. If you take the time to read it, I think you'll agree that Clark was (a) advocating force only as a last resort, but (b) making it quite clear that the use of force within a few months would be necessary if the Saddam regime did not collapse on its own. If this is opposition to the war, than I'm a goddamn dove. Update:
An early strategy seems to be emerging - simply deny that the transcript says what it says! Most people can't be bothered to read it, and many democrats will be quick to embrace the suggestion that "it's all a Republican trick". I'll be very interested to see what happens when the other Dem candidates - most likely Dean and Kerry - start using this against Clark as well. Suddenly, the idea that it's all the Republicans fault won't hold water anymore. Perhaps by that time there will be other minor scandals and gaffs to take attention away from this one. In fact, Dean and Kerry might get hurt if they associate themselves with this "Republican lie". So far, I'd say the master has taught is three lessons: 1) Play for time, even at the risk of setting yourself up for a bigger fall later.
The noose seems to be tightening. (Via IP)
While You're At It, I'd Like A Pony, Too. A Nice Friendly Brown One.
Monday, January 12, 2003 Alex at Marginal Revolution wants your opinion: Now, look... I was seven years old when we took that first giant step. I watched it on TV. I remember stepping outside and looking up at the sky, searching for the astronauts there on the moons surface. (I really could see them, too, but just barely. My eyes were much better then). I still consider it one of the most beautiful, heroic moments in human history. Put me alone in a room and show me that footage again and there will be tears running down my face. Even now, when I watch that one camera angle - you space freaks know which one - of that huge fucking rocket lifting off, and the big letters painted on the side becoming visible one by one as it rises up...
...I swear I can feel my heart stop cold in my chest. Fellow space enthusiasts, I've been bit by our bug. I understand. That's why it's so hard for me to say this: that moon base thing is a stupid idea. I'm no space expert, and Gregg Easterbrook certainly isn't, either, but he sure as shit got right to the point in this post. It ain't gonna happen, guys. Go ahead and give it a read. I'll wait. So what of Alex's question? What's the right thing to do? I've got three words for you: Practical Nuclear Fusion. The technical challenge is certainly there. With a trillion bucks, and fifteen years with a few hundred of our nation's finest minds, we might, just maybe, pull it off. And what do we get for our trouble? That depends. What's the value of a limitless supply of cheap energy? Yeah, sure, we'd be free of the Saudis. Big fucking deal. You're still thinking small, kid. With enough energy, you could manufacture just about anything you want, in whatever quantities you'd like. Food? No problem. Houses? Of course. Plenty enough for everyone, everywhere. Heat and light and medicine and books and cars and trains and washing machines and those cool-ass jetpacks you can use to zoom around in the domed city? Sure. Why the hell not? OK, so I'm overstating the case here, but not by much. Seriously, could you even imagine something that would produce more wealth? Can you imagine anything that would bring more comfort and safety and progress to people everywhere? The best part is, there would be nobody to say, "Why are you putting another man on the moon when we have hungry children to feed?", because we'd be feeding more children with this project than have ever been fed in the history of the earth. Even the "Don't you know there's a war on?" folks would have to agree - shafting the Saudis would be mega-sweet, wouldn't it? No more petrodollars for you! Our biggest problem would be coping with the change. Coping with the change of lifting billions of people to a far greater standard of living. Coping with all the new things we could discover and build. Now that, goddamn it, would be a worthy successor to Apollo. It's not really about standing on the moon. It's about lifting the whole goddamn human race to a whole new level. It's about doing something that people will never forget. I'd bet we could do it, too. Update:
Well, I just listened to Bush's speech. If I heard it right, the near-term plans are pretty modest. He only wants to increase NASA's budget by about 1.5% - that's $200 million a year, for five years. It's nothing, really. In exchange, we get to retire the shuttle fleet by the end of the decade, and we get the space station finished. No word on what other programs will be cut. I'll reserve judgement until I see what missions we'll have to give up. My gut feeling is that replacing the shuttle is a good and necessary move. I wonder how much of this is being done with the Chinese in mind?
Here's A Thought
Thursday, January 8, 2003 Who do you think Bush will choose to be his running-mate this year? Dick Cheney, right? Everybody seems to assume he just gets it by default, but I disagree. The more I think about it, the more confident I am that somebody else is going to take his place. Cheney, no matter what you may think of him, has a single, critical liability - he's simply not going to be a viable candidate in 2008. His health is shot. This is not a man who can be counted on to remain vibrant and active for another 16 years. As much as we poke fun at vice presidents, there is no better job in the world for the man or woman who seeks the presidency for themselves. Unless Bush fails spectacularly during his next term, his vice president is going to be the leader of the Republican party in 2008, and that person is going to be the presidential nominee. Right now, that VP slot is the most valuable job in American politics, and, arguably, the most powerful, appointed position in the entire world. Think about that for a minute. It would be insane to waste that opportunity on a man who can not follow through with it. I expect a dramatic announcement shortly after the end of the Democratic nomination on July 30th. Just as the Democrats announce their candidate and start to enjoy their post-convention bounce, we'll learn that Dick Cheney has been forced to step aside for health reasons, and that the President must reluctantly choose a new running-mate. The last half of August will be filled with media speculation, and at the convention - scheduled to begin August 30th - we'll finally get to see who it is. The crowd would go wild, of course, if it turned out to be Condi Rice. Nothing would cripple Hillary's '08 prospects more than running against a competent, black, female, and possibly gay Vice President who'd been in charge of US foreign policy for the last eight years, but I don't think that'll happen. (Why not? I don't Rice wants the job. If she does, she's been playing those cards very close indeed). I honestly have no idea who else it might be. I'm also really surprised that this hasn't received more attention than it already has. So, what do you think, folks? Who's going to run with Bush in '04? Update: How likely is a VP to win the White House after serving with a two-term president?
Francis Porretto at The Palace Of Reason pointed out that "Before George H. W. Bush's victory in 1988, the last Vice-President to be elected directly into the Oval Office was Martin Van Buren in 1836". I had just assumed that VPs who followed two-term presidents would have done pretty well, but really hadn't bothered to check. So, I fired up google... since 1900, there have been 10 Presidents who have served more than one term: Teddy Roosevelt, Wilson, Coolidge, FDR, Truman, Ike, LBJ, Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton. Of the first six of these vice presidents, two assumed the presidency; the other four were not even nominated. Number 7 was Richard Nixon, who was nominated and lost, only to later run again and win. Number 8 was Ford, who assumed the presidency, 9 was Bush Sr (nominated and won) and 10, of course, was Al Gore (nominated and lost). So, I guess it's fair to say that since modern times (the last 50 years) a VP to a two-term president has an excellent shot at the nomination, and at least a fair shot at the presidency. Not as good a shot as I'd imagined, but hey, that's what the internet is for.
Tuesday, January 6, 2003 Fucking Mars! Check it out: Maybe I'm weird, but this just impresses the hell out of me. I've already spent an hour just letting my eyes wander all over these photos. You know what it's like, when you're swimming in the ocean and you suddenly realise how deep the water is below you? You know how that can kind of freak you out? I don't know what's spookier - the idea that we might find traces of living things there, or the idea that we won't. What if it's really just a huge, sterile place, utterly empty of life? That kind of loneliness could almost kill you, if you could really wrap your mind around it.
Odds And Ends
Thursday, January 1, 2003 Well, we made it through another high-profile holiday without anybody blowing anything up around here. The bad guys wanted desperately to fly a 747 right into those crowds. They would have, too, if they could have. All our guys working so hard in the shadows have done a damn good job, again. Another good year for all of us. Thanks, dudes. Playing defense is a sucker's game and it will, eventually, catch up to us. Happily, we won't have to play that game forever. That whole Mad Cow thing was actually pretty good news. Seriously. After our friends in Britain got nailed by this disease, it became, unavoidably, something that we simply had to deal with. It's not a question of should we have, or not have, this disease in our midst. It's a question of what we were going to do about it. One of the things we did was to take steps to prevent it; another thing we did was to monitor how well or preventive measures actually worked; a third thing was to make sure we could respond swiftly to any surprises that came down the road. Our preventive measures worked pretty fucking well. The cow in question was imported from Canada, and was born well before the preventive steps were taken. None of our cows, born since the preventive measures have been in place, have ever turned up sour. Not one. Our screening worked pretty well, too. We've been running down all the littermates of this sick cow and we have not found any more evidence of disease. It's not like we've had sick cows all over the place and only belatedly discovered the problem. It looks as if we nailed it, first time, right off the bat. Our response, in my opinion, was admirable. We were open about what we found and we did not hesitate to take several extraordinary steps to instantly contain the problem. Our openness cost us billions of dollars in sales. We did it anyway. The bottom line? We don't have a Mad Cow problem anymore. Our beef is good, and we've proved it. That's what a properly-functioning food safety system looks like. There are some who would say that the actual health threat from Mad Cow has been vastly overblown, and that the billions in lost sales were the result of a foolish overreaction. These folks are undoubtedly correct. However, we don't get to decide how reasonably other people are going to respond to this news. Whether the threat of illness is real or not is irrelevant. The reaction of the world market is real, and that money is going to be lost for years if this problem is not contained. Perhaps this was just an exercise in managing hysteria, but if hysteria is going to be a real problem, then managing it is serious business. We did a really good job here. I think it's a damn shame that these folks aren't getting the credit they deserve. Here's a thought for the political junkies in the room. Imagine that you were hired by the Republicans, and asked to come up with a credible scenario for a Bush loss in '04. What's the highest-risk outcome you can imagine? Something involving Dean? Gephardt? Clark or Kerry? Hard to put that one together, isn't it? Sure, any of these guys can run a decent race, but none of them is really a major threat. In my opinion, there is one scenario, however unlikely, that could really do it. If Dean falters and none of the candidates gets the required number of delegates, a Clinton draft is not only likely, it's almost a sure thing. I can easily imagine how it would gather incredible momentum once it started to happen. It's be exciting as hell, and Hillary might well step up to the plate if she thought the votes were really there. Sure, her best shot would be in 08, everybody knows that. Everybody also knows that four years is a long time, too, and nobody walks away from a good shot at the White House when it falls into their lap. Imagine that race. First woman president. Democrats screaming themselves hoarse, money pouring in. Hillary the Hawk, with her wise and resolute game face on, offers herself as a sane alternative for protecting America's future, with the promise of eight more years of Clintonian prosperity and renewed multilateral fellowship. Blacks loved her husband and would turn out in record numbers. New York and California would instantly be in the bag, allowing her to focus all her resources on a handful of swing states. Florida would become a national battle ground. That'd a be a real fight, wouldn't it? Look again at the alternatives: Dean. Gephardt. Clark. Kerry. If you wanted Bush out, which option would you be praying for now? The only thing necessary to make this all happen is for Dean to fall on his ass, and that seems a little more likely every day. You probably heard about that punk congressman who advised people to stay home on New Year's Eve. It's too dangerous, he said, because of all the terrorists. He's half right. It is dangerous. I wish I could have been present when he'd said it. In a loud, polite, and reasoned voice, I'd have asked, "For how long, sir?" For how long should we cower? How long should we be afraid? The danger really is there. We certainly need to look out for ourselves, and we need to support the people we've hired to look out for us. We'll undoubtedly need to live our lives under this threat, this year and the next, and the year after that, perhaps for many years and through many setbacks. Even if a setback means a huge explosion in Times Square. We'll manage, of course, the way good people always have; by doing whatever the hell we want, whenever we want to do it. Cowering is for cowards and failed congressmen. It's for those who are about to lose the fight. There are only two responses to intimidation - surrender, or defiance. These are not momentary decisions anymore. They are lifestyle choices, and we are going to be living with them for a long time. Happily, the people on my side get laid a lot more often. If there is any justice in the world, our little congressman will be learning that lesson himself. |

1) Clark is finished. Furthermore, you will never see another candidate photographed with Michael Moore. 2) Edwards is finished, too - he's just Not Ready For Prime Time. He might be somebody's VP before this is over, though. 3) Dean, as I said before, will win this if he pulls his shit together, but he did not have it together last night. He looked like he'd had too much cough syrup. 4) Kerry now leads by default. He's a waffle. He'd fall to the first strong challenge, but absent that challenge, he'll just have to wait for Bush to crush him instead. 5) Best moment: Peter Jennings twisting the knife into Al Sharpton. Monetary policy and the Federal Reserve? Wassat?

Excellent Site Of The Week
The folks over at 2 Blowhards are always interesting; people who are so friendly and curious about the world, and who are, you know, six or seven times smarter than I am, pretty much can't help but be interesting. I'm not always a fan of every post, but when they get on a topic that I enjoy they are always a wonderful read. This week they embarked on a real adventure - they picked up their blowguns, darted a well-spoken conservative, took him hostage and interviewed him within an inch of his life. How else to discover what the conservative viewpoint was really about? Check it out: Part I, Part II. I'll be honest and tell you that a good fraction of it went right over my head, but I understood enough to make it worth the effort. I can now say, with more confidence than ever, that I'm really not a conservative myself. We may agree on a few important issues politically, but my heart belongs to a more Classical Liberal / Dynamist point of view. But hey, and least now I understand why.

Remind me never to fuck with an Apache helocopter. It's just not going to end well. I've seen a lot of people bitching about this video, because we it shows us killing an enemy who is down and apparently wounded. While it is not OK to fire on someone who has surrendered, there is no reason to hold your fire just because your enemy is down on the ground. These are soldiers, not police officers. They are supposed to kill people. The reader who sent me this had a good idea - this video should be published on Al-Jazera, as a warning.
Dirty Bombs In Baghdad?
Maybe. Read this scary post and decide for yourself. Update:
Here's a thought - do our soldiers in Iraq currently keep their personal chemical protective gear close at hand? My guess is that they have not been doing this lately. If we start seeing photos of GIs with gas mask bags over their shoulders, then we'll know that somebody is taking this seriously...

This is a pretty remarkable interview: Survival Of The Fittest: An interview with Benny Morris (mirrored here). At the bottom of the first page, it gets very interesting indeed. I'm not offering this because I necessarily agree or disagree with this guy, but because I admire his honestly and frankness, and because honest and frankness have been very hard to find whenever the topic turns to Israel. Once you put aside the pretty language, you can't talk about the Middle East without talking about this stuff, even if it does make the little hairs stand up on the back of your neck. I know I'm going to regret this, but I'm going to open a comment thread on this one. Please, take the time to actually read the interview before you comment, OK? Personally, I'll offer the same position I've offered all along - I'm no great fan of Israel, and I'm certainly no Zionist, but I'll always prefer Israel to another Islamic dictatorship. The rest of it, in my opinion, is just talk.
Be Sure To Send Him A Card
Asshat over here kills his ex mother-in-law, his ex father-in-law, his ex sister-in-law, and strangles his own 10-month old baby girl to death in her crib. He then kidnaps his two remaining daughters and his stepdaughter and leaves. Then he calls his ex-wife and tells her that he's going to kill the girls, too. The police hustle like hell and find him hours later, stop his car and free the children unharmed. Asshat puts a gun to his head and fires his final shot. He fucked it up! He blew a nice chunk of his face off, but he's still alive. Poor baby! Sometimes even I suspect there might be a god out there, after all.
I'm In The Wrong Line Of Work
Suppose you had nothing to do all day long but sell cigarettes to people; not out of a store-front, but face-to-face, a carton at a time. Your task could be made somewhat easier by all the repeat business you could do, of course... How many could you sell? You figure you could manage 10 cartons a day? That's only about one per hour, right? Well, I know a place where that kind of ambition could earn you $100,000 per year. Tax-free. With weekends and holidays off. They could nip this in the bud, right now, by just dropping those taxes. They won't, of course, but they could. Watching these folks in action is like watching a slow motion train wreck, isn't it?
Thought You Had A Bad Day?
You know, one of those days when everything went wrong? You have no idea...
By All Means, Tell Them
The Dean campaign wants your opinion. I think you ought to give it to them: They promise that Fair enough. Here's what I submitted: "I think George Bush has done a hell of a good job. The economy is back on track, the war in Iraq has projected American power deep into the heart of Islamic extremism, and he has freed millions from the appalling brutality of their former rulers." I'd be fun if they got a few thousand comments like that, don't you think? Perhaps they will be fair, and post your comments truthfully along with everyone elses; perhaps they will be crap-weasels and silence everyone who disagrees with them. Either way, the truth will come out. Update:
I must confess a Tom-Daschle-like sadness and disappointment. They only put the anti-Bush messages up! I guess the "true" state of the union only includes democrats. After all, it's their country, the rest of us just live in it.
It Might Seem Quiet...
...but there seems to be a lot going on. A few days ago, British Airways Flight 216 from Heathrow was held from three hours at Dulles Airport in Washington, DC. Later, BA Flight 0222 from Dulles to Heathrow was cancelled, and on Friday Flight 223 from Heathrow to Dulles was cancelled. The Scottish press describes the cancellation as a response to a "Real and Definite Threat". Just now, they cancelled Flight 263 to Riyadh. Meanwhile, the US Coast Guard abruptly shut down the Valdez oil terminal on Tuesday night, ordered three tankers to leave the area, and kept the facility closed all day Wednesday. Call me paranoid, but it looks like something's up.
And you thought you had a bad day:
This is really interesting, on a lot of different levels. My call? This guy seems like a decent sort. A lot of people would freak out over something like this. The article dances around the question of affirmative action for his college-age daughter, Kenya. Does she receive it now? Will she continue to get it? We have no idea. Anybody who treats this man any differently now is a punk. Any law that changes how his daughter is treated is a disgrace.
It's In The New York Times
...so it has to be true, right? If I did the math right, that's a whopping 3.6% profit. Pretax. They'd have done better selling shoes at the mall. (Via IP) | |

Repair SMD in amp
I am about to begin repairing an Xtant x603 amplifier and will need to replace some surface mount resistors.
HOW do you remove the old and re-solder the new ? Thanks ! |

To remove the old resistors...
Apply new solder to both ends. Heat one end for ~2-3 seconds and then 'quickly' move the iron to the other side. If your iron is hot enough, the resistor will immediately slide off of the pads when the solder melts on the second pad. To replace the resistor... Remove the old solder from both pads with desoldering braid. Apply solder to one pad. Hold the new resistor with tweezers, hemostats or whatever you have handy. Heat the pad with the solder on it and slide the resistor into the molten solder. Reposition if necessary and then solder the other pad.

Soldering SMD resistors and capacitors down to 0805 size (and other two or three lead devices) is quite easy if you can get the right type of tweezers and a soldering iron with a fine tip.
To unsolder components: Heat both ends alternatively and quickly until it comes loose. To solder components: Hold the component in place with tweezers and solder one end. Then press with the tweezers on the center of the component to keep it in place while you heat both ends alternatively to make it seat properly on the PCB. There is no need for removing the solder that way.

In car amps, the resistors that fail often produce significant heat and the solder is badly oxidized. Using solder that's badly oxidized will produce a poor solder connection. If the resistor failed quickly and the solder is is not oxidized, you should use additional flux to float contaminants to the surface where they can't cause any problems.

Knitting Notes
Pattern: Eunice Socks from Cookie A's Sock Innovation
Yarn: Malabrigo sock in the abril colorway
Needles: Size 2 DPNs
My Eunice socks are done! I really enjoyed this pattern, though I'd tweak a few things if I make it again. I'd add at least one more pattern repeat on the leg, and I'm pretty sure I could fit another pattern repeat on the foot before starting the ribbing. Still, these were a great experience. The cables are definitely a little different, but not super hard.
The yarn was a dream to work with. It's just so soft, and such a nice texture to work with. I'm definitely going to have to find something to do with my poor damaged skein of solis. As it is, I have a decent amount of this skein left, and am plotting what to do with the leftovers.
I next have to finish my second Kiila sock. I really enjoyed the first of those socks, but they lost out to the lure of the Malabrigo the second time around. With that out of the way, I'll now be happy to focus on Kiila.

The idea is to use the printed page, such as a newspaper, as a point-of-sales tool. With the Layar reader showing the user all of the "Buy" buttons you have placed on the page, along with video and other sales tools, you could make an instant sale thanks to Augmented Reality. And the Layar Creator makes it easy for anyone to add such images to the printed page, at a price that makes it worth doing. The Layar Creator is not only easy to use with its drop and drag functionality, there is also no software to install or codes to learn. Until August 1st, the application is completely free and even afterward, you can choose the ad-supported free app.
According to Layar, 1% of readers who discover that their newspaper has content hidden inside it end up downloading the Layar app to read it. 20% of the content hidden is clicked by viewers. Those numbers were good enough to get publishers to sign up to have the Layar Creator as part of their publishing process. For example, Jildou van der Bijl, editor-in-chief of LINDA says that after the editorial meeting, the editors discuss what will be in the printed version of the magazine and talk about how the content can be connected using Layar. Three issues of the magazine recently included Layar-made interactive pages. The magazine will continue to use Layar Creator in its publishing process for the next year.
"The market for print is not going away. It's here to stay. With the introduction of the Layar Creator and
interactive print, we have every reason to be extremely confident in a
strong future for print. Today we are joining hands with publishers and
moving forward together."-Raimo van der Klein, Layar

Helping Your Young Child Cope With a Parent's Deployment
Jerilyn Marler
This book is available for download with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device, and with iTunes on your computer. Books can be read with iBooks on your Mac or iOS device.
Helping Your Young Child Cope with a Parent's Deployment is a lively and practical guide for military parents (and grandparents and other caregivers). Saying goodbye for about a billion days is a high-stress experience for children. Parents worry: What do my kids need in order to thrive? How can I help them cope? What kinds of activities foster a meaningful connection across the miles?
Jerilyn Marler—who has been a military child, military wife, and military mom—answers those questions and more with cheerful wisdom. She includes 22 fun ways to help kids before and during deployment.
Military parents who want the best for their children should keep this book handy.
Customer Reviews
Awesome book!
This is a terrific book for families facing deployment separation issues. Our granddaughter missed her daddy terribly when his Navy ship left on a seven month deployment overseas. We learned many things in this book to help her cope, and found many resources for everyone in the family. Highly recommended!
OMG! What an amazing book!
Even the Portland Book Review gives this book 5 Stars and it almost never gives books 5 Stars!
My young son was separated from his dad off and on for years and coping with my own feelings and helping him cope with his was a huge challenge. What I would have given for this book back then! But what a blessing for parents to have this book now. It is full of gentle guidance, wonderful encouragement and easy, creative ideas to ease the suffering and to strengthen the parent bond. If you know someone who's child is separated from a loved one, it's hard to know how to be helpful. This book is the answer - send it to them ASAP.

I wish I could take you .. come along come along..' Well so go the lyrics for the title track of this latest outing from the multitalented Nico Luminous that will have most folks appreciating 'trap-esque' music in a whole new way, especially when it's delivered as a futuristic super-funk version of soul music with a fair amount of 'Glitch' and 'Dub' influences thrown in for good measure. Nico Luminous has a signature style of "Glitch-a-delic Soul Whomp" that fuses melodic progressions, futuristic sound design and organic elements into sexy bass rollers and some epic drops. His DJ sets are geared toward Dubstep and Glitch Hop with a psychedelic twist. As a Beatboxer/MC, Nico uses his custom effects pedal belt to live loop his beatboxing and vocals skills into crunked out hip-hop rhythms that add a unique 'organic' feel to his show.

Packers' Gillingham more than held his own
When Gale Gillingham, who died Thursday at 67, was taken by the Green Bay Packers 13th overall in the NFL Draft on Nov. 27, 1965, it raised some eyebrows because he had not won All-American honors at the University of Minnesota.
On the day of the draft, Packers defensive coach Phil Bengtson said about the 6-3 250-pounder: "He handles himself real well."
As it turned out, Bengston had it more right than he knew.
Gillingham started for left guard Fuzzy Thurston against the host Baltimore Colts in the second-to-last game of the 1966 regular season. Thurston, who had injured his left ankle and could not play, was asked after the game about Gillingham's performance.
The Packers won, 14-10.
"Gilly played very well," Thurston said. "Probably too well."
When the starters were named by the Baltimore public address announcer, Gillingham in fact was called "Thurston."
A few years later, Gillingham recalled that game for a reporter.
"We had to win because the conference title depended upon it," Gillingham told the Milwaukee Sentinel. "I was scared because I was going up against Billy Ray Smith. I think I had a pretty fair game. I didn't blow any plays and my man didn't get to the quarterback."
Gillingham became the starting left guard in '67 and in 1969 switched to right guard after Jerry Kramer retired. All of his five Pro Bowl selections and all-pro honors came while Gillingham played right guard.
"Gilly has the widest pair of shoulders I've ever seen," said Packers defensive tackle Henry Jordan about his teammate. "He's quick and strong, fast on sweeps and end runs and has good football knowledge."
Born in Madison, Gillingham's family lived for a time in Tomah where he attended Tomah High School for a few years before moving to Little Falls, Minn., where his father had a cattle ranch.
"I'll tell you why we drafted Gilly," Jordan said. "He's got this ranch with a lot of cows and no bull. We figured he was for us."
The New York Jets, then in the American Football League, showed interest in Gillingham, but he signed with Green Bay just a few hours after the Packers picked him.
"The Jets took me out to New York after our last game with Wisconsin," Gillingham said years after the draft. "I probably would have made more money playing in New York, but Green Bay was close to home – and the Packers were champs."
Before the start of the 1972, the Packers switched Gillingham to defensive left tackle. He did not complain, but he hated the move. The second game into the '72 season, he tore the ligaments in his right knee and surgery sidelined him the rest of the year. He had another knee surgery following the 1973 season.
He announced his retirement in July, 1975. He came out of retirement to play for coach Bart Starr in 1976.
Bud Lea of the Sentinel later wrote about Gillingham's last season.
"The ordeal of Gale Gillingham was never reported because he would not talk about it. Never," Lea wrote in a 1977. "But in order for Gillingham to play football last year he had to strap himself into a Nautilus machine and submit his knees to tortuous lifting exercises all week. He started every game for the Packers. His Mondays were spent in the room where team physicians would drain those crippled knees."
On Feb. 13, Gillingham was inducted into the Packers Hall of Fame.
"That last drive in the Ice Bowl is the way I remember the Packers," Gillingham said during the induction ceremony. "The guy I remember the most – the greatest football player I have ever played with – was Forrest Gregg.
