Asus P5B Deluxe Wi-Fi AP motherboard
Core 2 Duo ready
Review There's no place for loyalty and fond feelings in a serious reviewer's armoury but based on their past few generations of hardware it's difficult not to expect great things when Asus create a new motherboard then prime your salivary glands by hitching the word 'Deluxe' after the model number.
With the buzz from Intel's recent Core 2 Duo launch still resonating, we continue our mini-series of P965 powered motherboard reviews with the ASUS P5B Deluxe.
The P5B is a board dominated by highs and lows. By that I mean high performance, high quality, low power consumption and low noise, or at least that's the claim. The power saving and cooling features are fairly obvious and come mainly thanks to a variety of BIOS options and of course the fan-less heatpipe bolstered passive North Bridge cooling. This can be boosted with a supplied clip-on cooling fan, though Asus doesn't recommend you do this unless your CPU is being passively or liquid cooled for fear it will interfere with airflow.
Then there's Stack Cool which apparently draws the heat away from hotter components and transfers it to the reverse side of the board, though Asus fails to mention where it goes from there. Metal cases will no doubt radiate some of it into the room but aside from that I doubt there's much of a cooling breeze to be had back there. There's also Q-Fan which is simply the ASUS take on existing load-based thermal fan speed management.
The CPU is fed by an eight phase power circuit which generally means cooler and more reliable operation along with extended component life. Unlike some motherboards the P5B Deluxe uses a proper eight phase setup with eight discrete lines but this is an area where it's all becoming a bit of a numbers games and we shouldn't automatically assume that more phases is always a good thing.
The board is built on a chocolate brown coloured PCB with refreshingly sombre pale yellow, black, white, red and blue plastic work. The gold coloured heat pipe and sinks add enough bling for Asus' tastes without needing gaudy fluorescent plastic everywhere and for what it's worth I agree, the effect is more class and less clash.

Cable TV Won't Lose To The Internet Because It's Making Too Much Money?
from the logic-drop dept
Well, yes. That's true. But that's also true of pretty much every other massive industry that has been disrupted by new technologies over time. In fact, if you go all the way back to Adam Smith and The Wealth of Nations, he explains why such markets are ripe for competition, if not disruption. Indeed, Gurley does make a strong case for why the cable guys and the studios are so happy with the way things are today: thanks to affiliate fees, they rake in amazing amounts of cash in a very easy manner. Basically, the TV stations figure out a way to get a hot show on TV, which forces cable and satellite players to include that channel in their lineup, and then the stations demand a per subscriber fee. It doesn't matter if people actually watch or not -- they just get a fee per subscriber to the package that includes their channel. It's why we see battles every few months over just how big those fees should be.
But the massive problem that Gurley skips over in his post is that consumers hate this. Why? Because their bills keep going up. A lot. Way beyond what many subscribers see as reasonable.
And for all of Gurley's belief that the TV guys have this figured out, and that the infamous TV Everywhere program will solve the issue, this seems improbable. Perhaps they will figure some of it out, but the early reports suggest a disaster in the making, with execs focused on all sorts of limitations for consumers. And history has shown that your business model is focused on taking away value that consumers know can be provided, you will fail. Especially in a competitive market.
And while the entertainment industry works hard (with a big helping from the US government) to keep competition out of the market, they can't do so forever. Gurley notes that unauthorized file sharing is a challenge -- but he thinks that Hollywood will be able to contain it. That seems optimistic to me. When has anyone been able to contain unauthorized file sharing? Second, despite attempts by Hollywood to stop alternative browsers like Boxee from accessing their content, so far they've mostly failed in this endeavor, and with Google and other companies soon to enter the market as well... Well, it's going to be tougher than the TV guys expect.
Gurley is right that this won't happen overnight. There are billions in cash cow revenue that will keep this machine going for quite some time. And they will fight like crazy to protect their gatekeeper position. But you can't ignore consumers, and you can't ignore the fact that all that money that Gurley thinks helps the incumbents win also attract incredible interest from disruptive innovators. It may take some time, but the idea that the TV guys will stop the disruption seems unlikely.

Monday November 30, 2009
Despite his mother confirming that her son, Robbie Williams, is engaged, the former Take That star has officially announced that the reports are not true.
The speculation started when the cheeky pop star jokingly popped the question to his long-term love live on an Australian radio show last week.
Following the surprise turn of events, Robbie's mother Jan, told BBC 5 live that she was "really pleased" at the news and had "always wanted a daughter-in-law".
"Hey all. We are not engaged. Rob," the singer posts on his official website, while his spokesman says: "We have no more comment on this apart from to confirm that they are not engaged."

The Creative Process: "With this pack I wanted to bring back the soul and emotion of live instruments to computer-based music. Each instrument was selected for sound, timbre, and uniqueness. All recordings were processed through vintage compressors and microphone pre-amps to capture their classic sound. On this pack, I used a 1980s Stratocaster, 1990s Telecaster, 1990s Bass Guitar, and 1942 Trumpet, and three analogue synths to create the vintage looped melodies and one-shot sounds you hear in this pack. I drew inspiration on this project from artists such as Dr Dre, Kendrick Lamar, Flying Lotus, and Thundercat to name a few. This pack was a lot of fun to make. I hope you enjoy the vintage sounds and human element of the live instruments in this pack. I'm looking forward to hearing what you all create!" - Statik Link.

The call was made on March 17 -- the same day two of Nadya Suleman's octuplets came home.
Allred represents the non-profit organization Angels in Waiting -- which had offered to help Nadya care for the octuplets. Nadya fired them today. Coincidence?

A-levels should be axed in favour of a new 'baccalaureate'-style qualification that requires teenagers to study maths and science up the age of 18, experts have said.
Too many people in the UK are "mathematically and scientifically illiterate", the Royal Society has said in a new report warning that there is persistent lack of youngsters taking science and maths-based courses past the age of 16 at a time when the nation needs more workers with skills in these areas.
The new report, drawn up by a committee of leading scientists and mathematicians, calls for radical changes to the UK's education systems in light of the fact that the UK is falling far short of the million extra science, technology and engineering professionals that will be needed by 2020.
"The current education system will not meet the needs of the UK over the next 15 to 20 years, so we need to start building a stable education system that produces scientifically literate citizens now, before it is too late," said Sir Martin Taylor, chair of the Royal Society's vision committee.
"We all know that we have significant problems with the demand for science, mathematics and engineering skills and their supply. Employers tell us this. We know that only one in eight 16-year-olds goes on to do A-level mathematics. That's just not enough for a vibrant knowledge economy."
The report sets out a "road map for radically transforming our education system" with a particular focus on maths and science over the next 20 years.
It calls for the creation of tough new courses and qualifications for sixth-formers in science, maths, engineering and technology (Stem) that will interest teenagers who want to study arts and humanities subjects and those who are training in the workplace.
"We should bear in mind for instance that one million new science, engineering and technology professionals are going to be needed by 2020 and at the current rate we're falling 40,000 shy of this each year," Sir Martin said.
"If we get this right then we will continue to contribute to scientific discovery and technological innovation," the leading mathematician later added. "The UK will provide a leading role in providing solutions to some of the great global challenges that the world is now facing – things like climate change, food and energy security and the ageing population issue."
The report argues that A-levels should ditched in favour of a "baccalaureate" system with science and maths at the centre.
Under the current system, sixth-formers taking A-levels usually study three or four subjects, but a baccalaureate system, such as the International Baccalaureate, tends to be broader – typically involving studying around six subjects from different areas.
Sir Martin said: "All students should study mathematics and science to the age of 18 alongside the arts and humanities as part of a new baccalaureate that provides a broad education for all.
"We believe that this means changing our current educational framework, gradually replacing the current A-level system with a broader framework that places emphasis both on vocational and academic learning."
The committee's vice-chair, Professor Dame Julia Higgins, said: "Eventually, we believe that there should not be A-levels, there will be something like a baccalaureate. What we're looking at is a broad exam framework, with specialist subjects."
The report also calls for every primary school to have access to at least one specialist teacher in both maths and science, and argues that all secondary school lessons in these subjects should be taught by suitably qualified specialists.
At the same time, all school and college teachers should be required to work towards a teaching qualification to ensure they are experts in teaching as well as their specialist subject.
The study also suggests that new independent expert bodies should be set up in England and Wales, and existing structures in Scotland and Northern Ireland strengthened, to oversee the curriculum and exams in Stem subjects.
The report comes amid major reform of A-levels as part of a bid by ministers to toughen up the qualifications, and continuing moves by Government to encourage youngsters to continue studying maths and science past GCSE.
A Department for Education spokeswoman said: "We agree with the Royal Society about the importance of science and maths. That is why we have already announced major reforms to the qualifications system which will mean thousands more young people are studying courses in maths, sciences and vocational education that will give them the chance to compete for good jobs."

But now - thanks to Lockwoord from Outside the Interzone - I have the tool I need to solve what bothers me: A Time Warp generated by the lastest edition of the Accretionary Wedge!
There are plenty of places, events and processes that would be fantastic to watch with my own eyes as they unfold. I'd really love to see if Snowball Earth really was a snowball or sample the very first living cell to probably roam the oceans. Also a small detour to early Mars while it was still warm and wet and friendly to life would sound like a great destination.
But actually I want to go elsewhere. I want to watch an ore deposit form. I want to see it from start to end. To narrow it down I want to be there while the Silesian Mississippi Valley Type district forms. This is not only the largest MVT Pb-Zn district of the planet with 730 Mt of ore but also there is evidence that the largest district of its kind was formed in an increadibly short amount of time! In the hypogenic karst cavities of the Silesian deposits you can find speleothems (see image) growing up and downwards. The point is they don't grow vertically up and down - they show indication of growing into the direction of fluid flow! You heard it right. These dripstones are made from Galenit, Spalerite and other ore minerals growing inside a pipe that the hydrothermal fluid must have been rushing through. There are estimates that the entire ore district formed in less than 50.000 years with some investigators arguing the time of formation could be as little as 5.000 years or less. Certain parts must have literally formed in the course of days and hours with giant streams of hydrothermal metal-rich fluids moving through the cracks and fissures of the host-rocks.
Sulfide speleothem from the Olkuze mine
(Source: Scanned from Conference handout SEG workshop on the Geology of Pb-Zn Ore Deposits, Lima, Peru, 2008. Image from chapters of David Leach)
That would be so cool. To sit right in those caves in a dry spot and literally watch galenite and sphalerite stalacties and stalagmites grow over night.
Not to forget I also want to take a look above ground. You may know there is a relationship between the palaeogeographic position, the palaeoclimate, mountain building processes and the formation of large carbonate-hosted MVT deposits. A hydrological test with tracers would be cool. Seeing where does the water really come from. What is the real flowpath? How are the precipating ores replacing the surrounding carbonates? I want to see and feel it first hand on.
Thats why I want a time warp.

Why the Pi is Great for Teaching and Hacking Fri, Jan 18. 2013
Today at FUDCon I gave a lightning talk on interfacing devices to the Raspberry Pi, to try and explain why this device is so interesting to both educators and hackers.
Here's a recap of the demo for those who weren't there (or if I missed something); I was using a Pi running the Raspberry Pi Fedora Remix 17, and the point of the demo was to show how simple devices can be controlled (or sensed) directly from the command line (using just four commands: cd, ls, cat, and echo, plus sleep and the bash while...do loop):
1. Output
The Raspberry Pi has a number of General-Purpose Input/Output (GPIO) pins available on a connector on the corner of the board. These can be used as inputs or as outputs, and can be on (binary 1) or off (binary 0). The pinout diagram is available on the web.
Connecting up an output can be as simple as taking an LED (from any electronics part store, or snipped out of a dead PC) and a small resistor (I used a 220 ohm one - red/red/brown) and connecting them to one of the GPIO pins and a ground pin. In the demo I used GPIO 11 and ground, with a tiny breadboard and some male-female jumper wires for convenience.
The software side is pretty simple: there's a directory, /sys/class/gpio, that provides access to the GPIO pins. By default, this directory contains just three entries:
# cd /sys/class/gpio
# ls -l
total 0
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 export
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/virtual/gpio/gpiochip0
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 unexport
Placing a GPIO number in the export file gives us control of that GPIO:
# echo 11 > export
And the kernel responds by creating a directory corresponding to that GPIO pin:
# ls -l
total 0
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Jan 14 18:39 export
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Jan 14 18:40 gpio11 -> ../../devices/virtual/gpio/gpio11
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Dec 31 1969 gpiochip0 -> ../../devices/virtual/gpio/gpiochip0
--w------- 1 root root 4096 Dec 31 1969 unexport
The gpio11 directory contains a number of pseudo-files for controlling the pin:
# cd gpio11
# ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 14 18:41 active_low
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 14 18:41 direction
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4096 Jan 14 18:41 edge
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 0 Jan 14 18:41 power

The files we care about are direction and value. The direction is initially set to input (in), which we can see if we cat the direction file:
# cat direction
We can change the pin to an output by writing out into that file:
# echo out > direction
The value file will tell us if that pin is off (0) or on (1):
# cat value
If you set this value to 1, the LED should turn on:
# echo 1 > value
If it doesn't, you probably have it plugged in backwards. Switch the wires (I'll wait).
Once the LED is on, you should be able to turn it off by setting the value to 0:
# echo 0 > value
From an educational perspective, this is really cool: it makes a concept (bit) tangible.
But turning the light on and off gets boring quickly. The next step is to write a command-line loop to make the LED blink:
# while true; do echo 1 > value; sleep 0.2; echo 0 > value; sleep 0.2; done
What if you want to control something a lot bigger than an LED? Just substitute something like a Powerswitch Tail II for your LED - your Pi connects to an LED inside the tail, and whenever that LED is turned on, the water pump/blender/fan/toaster plugged into the tail starts up.
2. Input
Connecting an input is not any more complicated. In the demo, I hooked up an old Turbo Mode switch (remember those?!) to GPIO 24. In one position, it connected GPIO 24 to 3.3 volts, and in the other position, it connected it to ground.
Using this switch as an input was even easier than controlling the LED:
# cd /sys/class/gpio
# echo 24 > export
# cat gpio24/value
... Now toggle the switch! ...# cat gpio24/value
3. Input & Output
Putting both of these together is pretty straightforward. You can control the flashing of the LED using the switch with a line like this:
# while sleep 0.1; do if [ $(<gpio24/value) = "0" ]; then echo 1 > gpio11/value; sleep 0.2; echo 0 > gpio11/value; sleep 0.2; fi; done
For education, these experiments are simple, quick, and don't require a lot of background knowledge: the student needs only a handful of basic bash commands (cd, ls, cat, echo). Unlike an Arduino, the Pi doesn't need a separate system to host development. You also don't need to deal with files, interpreters, shebang lines, permissions, or compilers. But eventually (and usually pretty quickly), students will want to learn those concepts. In order to save their commands across boots, for example, they will soon want to store them in files: voila, scripts!
It's logical and easy to progress from controlling a single LED and reading a single switch to controlling six LEDs - enough for a two-way traffic light - and then you can add things like pedestrian crossing buttons. Or you can use two infrared LEDs and two infrared phototransistors (which act exactly like switches), mounted in a doorway, to count the number of people that have entered and exited from a room, turning on the lights whenever people are present. These types of projects are fun and engaging ways to teach logic, programming, and circuits.
After a while, students want to do something they can't easily do in bash, like drive a GPIO faster, or poll some complex combination of pins and they're on to Python (or C, or Perl, or any of a multitude of other languages).
When students/hackers/makers want to connect something more complex than can be easily interfaced through GPIO, the Pi offers serial ports (you can put a message on an LCD display with two bash commands), I2C, and SPI interfaces. And although the ARM processor in the Pi is fairly slow, it is fast enough to do interesting things like speech synthesis and machine vision.

Lewiston arson suspects indicted
Brian Morin, Brian Wood charged with arson
Lewiston arson suspects indicted
Brian Morin, Brian Wood charged with arson
AUBURN, Maine —
Two Lewiston men accused of setting a fire that destroyed or damaged three apartment buildings have been indicted on arson charges.
Thirty-year-old Brian Morin and 23-year-old Bryan Wood were indicted Wednesday by an Androscoggin County grand jury.
The men are charged with starting a May 6 fire that destroyed two vacant buildings and damaged a third. No one was hurt.
It was the third major fire in Lewiston in less than two weeks and had the entire city on edge. About 200 people were left homeless. Two 12-year-old boys are charged with setting the other blazes.
Wood's attorney has said his client suffers from a mild mental disability. Morin's attorney has said his client is not a danger to the public.
Both men remain held on high bail.

Chris Gobrecht has a reputation for turning programs around.
Though the 2008-09 Bulldog squad was hampered by a multitude of
injuries, the 29-year Division I coaching veteran led her team to
an 11-17 record, the team's second-highest win total in the
past seven seasons. 2008-09 also featured a landmark victory for
the program over North Carolina State, Yale's first win over
an Atlantic Coast Conference opponent. Gobrecht also reached a
milestone 450th career coaching win last season.
After posting a 3-24 mark in her first season with the Bulldogs, Coach Gobrecht led the team to 12 wins in the 2006-07. The nine-win improvement was one of the best in Division I that season. The 2006-07 season was highlighted by a six-game winning streak and a 15-point victory over a Marist squad that would reach the Regional Semifinals (Sweet 16) of the NCAA Tournament. Yale was also the only Ivy League team to defeat league champion Harvard. In 2007-08, Gobrecht led the Bulldogs to a 7-7 record in the Ivy League, their best conference record since 2001-02. Yale's fourth-place finish in the league was also its highest since the 2001-02 campaign.
Gobrecht has amassed a 460-388 (.542) record during her 29 seasons, ranking her 31st among active coaches in career victories. The ninth coach in the 37-year history of Yale women's basketball, Gobrecht has more career Division I victories than any other active basketball coach in the Ivy League, men or women. In her tenure at Yale, she has coached an Ivy League Rookie of the Year (Melissa Colborne, 2006-07) and two first team All-Ivy players (Colborne, 2007-08 and Erica Davis, 2006-07). Prior to Gobrecht's arrival in the Elm City, a Bulldog player had not earned first team All-Ivy accolades since Katy Grubbs in the 1997-98 campaign.
"I believe Yale is one of the finest institutions in the world, and to be involved with this university is a privilege," Gobrecht said upon her arrival in New Haven. "I think my career has been leading up to this."
After turning around the Cal State Fullerton program, Gobrecht moved on to the University of Washington. In 11 years, her teams went to the NCAA Tournament on nine occasions. The Huskies reached the NCAA Regional Finals four times during her tenure, and advanced to the Regional Finals (Elite Eight) in 1990. She won at least 16 games every year at Washington, including eight 20-win campaigns (six consecutive), and is the Huskies' all-time winningest coach with 243 victories. Washington won three conference championships and finished second four times during her tenure. A two-time Pac-10 Coach of the Year, Gobrecht led Washington to a school-record 28 wins and a number-three national ranking in 1989-90. The Huskies were the only team to beat eventual NCAA Champion Stanford that season.
"My observation of Chris goes back to my days in the Pac-10 when I saw how well she developed the program at the University of Washington," Athletic Director Tom Beckett said. "She did a great job with the Huskies, and now she's a Bulldog. We think it's an absolutely perfect connection, and it's definitely the right move for us."
After 11 years at Washington, Gobrecht took over a struggling Florida State program in 1996. The Seminoles went 5-22 in Gobrecht's only season before she left Tallahassee to take the job at her alma mater, Southern California.
With USC's win over Pepperdine on Dec. 4, 2002, Gobrecht became the 33rd active coach to reach the 400-win mark. In seven seasons with the Women of Troy, Gobrecht posted a 95-108 record. USC posted three winning seasons during her tenure, including a 15-13 mark in her final year, 2003-04. Two of her recruiting classes were ranked among the best in the country, and her teams regularly faced some of the best competition in the nation, including Pac-10 rival Stanford. In 2002-03 alone, the Women of Troy faced three of the previous four national champions: Connecticut, Tennessee and Notre Dame.
Gobrecht began her Division I coaching career with a struggling Cal State Fullerton program in 1979-80. She coached the Titans for six seasons, posting an 84-82 record. She led Cal State Fullerton to an 18-12 record in her third season on the job. In the 1984-85 season, Gobrecht's last with Cal State Fullerton, the Titans posted a 19-11 record and made their first appearance in the WNIT, making her a finalist for national Coach of the Year honors.
She served as an assistant for a USA Basketball select team which played in Czechoslovakia and Italy in 1990. In addition, six of Gobrecht's former players have played professionally in the WNBA and ABL.
Her coaching career began in 1978 at Santa Fe Springs (Calif.) High School, where her team went 20-4 and made the CIF AAA playoffs. The next year, Gobrecht led Pasadena City College to a 25-5 record, a conference championship and second place in the state junior college tournament.
A Toledo, Ohio native and a graduate of Huntington Beach (Calif.) High School, Gobrecht earned a bachelor's degree in public affairs from USC in 1977. Then known by her maiden name of Chris Geiger, she was a three-year starter for the Women of Troy from 1974-76 and also played two seasons of volleyball at USC. After graduation, she spent a year volunteering in the Peace Corps, where she worked as an English teacher at St. Mary's College in Apia, Western Samoa.
She and her husband, Bob, the Managing Director of Special Olympics North America, have two children: Eric, 23, a graduate of the U.S. Air Force Academy currently attending flight school, and Madeline, 20, a junior forward on the team.

Tripoli- Libya (PANA) -- The death of John Garang in a helicopter crash has robbed Sudan, a member of the Community of Sahel- Saharan States (CEN-SAD), of one of its greatest peace builders, the Tripoli-based organisation said in a condolence message.
In the statement issued to PANA here on Monday, the CEN-SAD secretariat general expressed "deep sadness and consternation" on hearing the death of Garang, the first Sudanese vice-president in a tragic helicopter crash last Saturday night.
"The CEN-SAD Community, which shares this pain with the Sudanese people, has lost one of the greatest peace builders in Sudan who, since the peace agreement was signed in Nairobi, Kenya, on 9 January, had totally relinquished his status of rebel leader to resolutely commit himself to peace and security building, in accordance with the commitments he freely made," reads part of the statement.
CEN-SAD called for the continuation and consolidation of John Garang's "historical" work in Sudan to enable it to fully play its role within CEN-SAD.
The statement also urged the international community to support the Sudanese government and people in their efforts to achieve national reconciliation and reinforce the ongoing peace process that everybody wants to be irreversible.
John Garang died Saturday night when the helicopter that was flying him from Uganda to New Site in southern Sudan crashed.
Garang was returning from talks with the Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni when the accident occurred.
Garang, former leader of the Sudanese People's Liberation Movement/Army (SPLM/A), signed a global peace deal with President Omar Hassan El Bashir's government in Nairobi, Kenya last January.
The agreement ended a 21-year old civil war in southern Sudan.
As part of the agreement, the former rebel leader was appointed first vice-president on 9 July.

Nature Chemistry just released the first issue with a few free papers, like Asymmetric total syntheses of (+)- and (-)-versicolamide B and biosynthetic implications by Miller et al. (DOI:10.1038/nchem.110).
Now, we've seen the Royal Society of Chemistry's Project Prospect (see RSC: the first publisher to go semantic!) and ChemSpiders recent ChemMantis system which enriches the papers with machine readable representations of the molecules discussed in those papers. The new Nature publication has been in the works for a while, and they asked the community before what a Nature Chemistry paper should like like, and I replied in Re: What should a Nature Chemistry paper look like?.
The verdict
So, have the been listening? Is the HTML they produce semantic? Is it data rich? Or is it just another hamburger? Well, I am very happy to see some of the suggestions I made picked up (though I do not fool myself in believing I am the only one that suggested those features). A tour of good things, and points for improvement.
The first impression is not shocking; it looks like any other interface, with molecules drawn as images in the paper:
All structures that are numbered and linked (as in C6-epi-stephacidin A (Compound 13) have a hover-over function to popup a drawing of the structure:
The popup image is a nice gimmick, but not really sematically useful. The link, however, is! It points to a separate supplementary page with further information which include a image of the 2D structure and, following a link, the 3D structure in Jmol. Moreover, it comes with the machine readable representations:
This is indeed interesting, and a big step forward, though please do note my comments later. For convenience, all molecules with such supplementary information is available from the special Chemical Compounds section of the paper:
Excellent! This really is a step forward towards a data-rich paper! Indeed, I will shortly write up a Bioclipse plugin for Nature Chemistry, which will download all molecular structures based on the DOI! Anyway, more on that later... For this article, that table looks like:
By now, you likely also noted the links to PubChem, and indeed, upon publication of a paper, all structures are deposited in the public domain:
At last but not least, each molecule is available in the Chemical Markup Language (with 2D coordinates)! And you know I am a very happy CML user for a long time (see e.g. Peter's recent blog Egon Willighagen and CML). BTW, one comment on the CML: the namespace used is the outdated namespace, not the current one (see There can be only one (namespace)). (But the CDK and Bioclipse will read it anyway.)
Details matter
So, while the first impression was not shocking, it was a bit deceptive. Nature Chemistry really changes publishing of chemistry. But I have bad news too. The need to improve the HTML they produce.
But before pointing out some missed chances, let me reply inter alia to Peter's recent work on the Open Source plugin for including semantic chemistry in MS-Word documents (see How can we publish semantic chemical documents?): Nature Chemistry seems to have done a great job with existing tools. Nevertheless, I fully back up Peters comment that while the plugin is useless without Word, the results produced with the plugin are extremely Open Standard, and enormously reusable! Indeed, while the Word file format is only formally an true Open Standard, the file format is plain XML, and extracting content bearing the CML namespace is trivial.
Which reminds me, if someone from the Nature Chemistry team is reading this, please point me to a blog what tools actually are involved in publishing a Nature Chemistry paper! I think we all like to know.
Now, the HTML has room for improvement. First of all, a look at the metadata defined for the web page of the article shows a description and keywords about the journal, not the article, and the same goes for the web pages for the molecules:
Additionally, the compound details web page has no special markup for the machine readable information:
Or, if it does, it's still mixed with markup for visual pleasing output:
Still, the HTML is clean enough to have some regular expressions extract a good deal of information, and there is also still the PubChem deposition.
Beyond connection tables
Like many other chemistry journals, Nature Chemistry does not consider properties of the molecule interesting, and NMR spectra are hidden in the Supplementary Information. This paper in particular, disregards a lot of machine readable facts by putting all experimental section bits in a PDF document. So, the next challenge for Nature Chemistry will be to get the authors of papers contribute the original spectra (JCAMP-DX, CMLSpect, etc) in the supplementary information section. Better, have the raw data or even the NMR peak-atom annotations deposited in public repositories such (see Open NMR data: raw curves and annotated peak lists).
All in all, I am rather positive about the first Nature Chemistry issue, and like to thank the editors and paper authors for there efforts on improving publishing chemistry!

Since this has devolved into bringin'-the-hate/Parsing motives thread, maybe it's a good time for a threadjack. I became a Seahawks fan this year. I haven't had an NFL team since Jerry Jones fired Tom Landry. I tried the Chargers since I'm an NC State fan and Philip Rivers is one of my guys, but they have kept trading away the talent they need to be able to take advantage of him.
Anyway, the Hawks are it for me because we have four connections between the Wolfpack and the Seahawks, so it's an easy fit. And it's just a helluva fun team to watch. This is my first posting because I hadn't fealt I had earned my feathers so to speak. And I didn't want to get into the pre-season/early season Wilson debates as I only had abject homerism and hope/expectation the Russel's magic would translate to this level. I thought it would, but figured it would be a year or two before he would be given the chance or before the game would slow down for him. HAH. Oh me of little faith.
I posted in this thread, because one of the things with which I have fallen in love with the Seahawks over is the 12th man. Freakin' incredible fanbase. Y'all have made me want to take vacation and come to a game! The connection between this team, this city and this fanbase has a very collegiate feel to me. I know some Pro fans don't like the Ra Ra stuff but I do. I love how this team seems to really like each other and how they and this fanbase really love each other; very cool to me. (Wish we could chip Seattle off the West coast and move y'all over to NC. We could put you between Wrightsville beach and Kure beach. Warmer water and no threat of tsunamis!)
Go HAWKS
(PS. The difference this year was the Wolves blood up in this Hawks nest!) ;-)

This series is quite interesting! I note the Cass County, Nebraska reference; I have ancestry who lived in the Weeping Water area about 1880, a farmer named Frank Day and his wife, Melinda (Fuller) Day. He came from Sheffield, Lorain County, Ohio, and she was from southern Michigan.ReplyDelete
Daniel - thank you for commenting! My ancestors and other family members moved around Cass, Lancaster, Saunders and Douglas counties quite a bit. Weeping Water, Plattsmouth - those are all part of the old stomping grounds. I feel fortunate to live so close to where my family took root about 150 years ago!ReplyDelete
Hey, this is a long time later, but I'm doing some research in this area. The Finlays later inherited the property that became Camp Kitaki and Camp Ester Newman. In fact, a relative had already sold the property for Camp Kitaki to the YMCA in 1951, but the rest of the property he owned went to Edith and Austin, who then sold it to the Jewish League of Omaha in 1960, who founded Camp Ester Newman. That property now makes up the western half of Platte River State Park.ReplyDelete
Owen, thanks so much for adding to this history. One of the ways that we can learn about our ancestors is from collateral research about their friends and associates. That's some beautiful land at Platte River State Park. Thank you for sharing.Delete
Absolutely! I'm pretty curious about the Finlays, myself. If you run across more information about Edith or her husband, I'd love to hear it. Her brother-in-law, an E C Finlay, practice law in Omaha and is buried in Greenwood, I believe, but that's about all I know.Delete

SANFORD—Sanford High School sophomore soccer standout Connor McGehee has recently earned a spot on the Massachusetts U-17 Boys Olympic Development Team, one of the first steps towards a goal of eventually being selected to the US National soccer team.
Although the Olympic Development Team program isn't the only source of identifying national talent, it is the greatest contributor to the national pool. For the past two years, Connor has been playing for the New Hampshire ODT, which is a stronger program to Maine because of its greater number of skilled players.
This year, Connor decided to try out for the Massachusetts Development Team which has an even greater pool of players than New Hampshire. To be selected he had to compete against more than 50 high level players from all over the state. During the summer he worked extremely hard to prepare for the Massachusetts competition which included two separate two hour sessions. And his hard work really paid off when he was selected for the final 26-player roster.
Making the Massachusetts team was especially difficult because of the state's larger population and the greater number of resources Massachusetts has to scholarship players. Connor will begin formal training with the Massachusette team in January and will travel to Portugal over February break to compete against european clubs. In making the team, Connor had to overcome some pretty tough odds. Not only was he one of the youngest players competing for a slot on the team, he had to compete against players from a state whose level of play was faster than that which he encountered in his local area. That, and the fact that he does not live and compete in Massachusetts day in and day out, made his selection even more impressive.
Each state has one Olympic Development Team for each age group from 11 year old boys to 17 year olds. Once their roster has been filled the teams train periodically through the winter and spring and compete in a regional tournament in June. There are four regions in the continental Uniter States and New England is part of Region 1 which includes all states from Vermont to Virginia and Pennsylvania. In the summer there is a week long camp held for Region 1 and from that camp the top players are selected to a regional pool team that will represent Region 1 at the national level. It is from these four regional pools of players that selections are made for the US National Team.

Washington: Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein says President Barack Obama may be too cautious in his approach to dealing with Islamic State militants.
The chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee, Feinstein told NBC's "Meet the Press" that the Defense and State departments have been putting together a response to the threat.
The California Democrat says she has seen nothing to compare to the viciousness of the militants who have overrun large portions of Iraq, killed civilians and beheaded American journalist James Foley. The Islamic State group has financing, military structure and weapons unlike any other militants, she said.
"This is a group of people who are extraordinarily dangerous," Feinstein said in an interview that aired Sunday on "Meet the Press" on NBC. "And they'll kill with abandon."
Obama said Friday that he did not yet have a strategy for dealing with the Islamic State group, a remark that brought criticism from Democrats and Republicans. In an interview published early this year by The New Yorker, the president appeared to minimize the Islamic State group by comparing it to a junior varsity basketball team. The White House later said he was speaking about a different threat posed by a range of extremists across the world.
Feinstein said she thought the basketball analogy was wrong — "I think it's a major varsity team" — but would not say whether she thought not having a strategy yet, as Obama acknowledged on Friday, projected weakness from the White House.
"I think I've learned one thing about this president, and that is he's very cautious," she said. "Maybe in this instance, too cautious. I do know that the military, I know that the State Department, I know that others have been putting plans together. And so hopefully, those plans will coalesce into a strategy."
As for Russia's incursions into Ukraine, Feinstein said she doubted that economic sanctions would bring about a change in its actions. Secretary of State John Kerry should talk directly to Russian President Vladimir Putin, she said.
"I think this is deeply personal with him," she said of Putin. "And I think he's calling the shots himself. And he's enjoying intensely high favorability in his country. People say, 'Well, just wait till the sanctions bite and the economy slips.' I don't think so.
"The Russians are very brave and very long-suffering," she said. "And they will tough out any economic difficulty."

The design needs to convey wealth, experience, trust. It has to be tasteful and distinguished. It needs to look modern, clean, and very professional. We do not want anything complex, cluttered or flashy. Keep it simple.
The purpose of the site is for credibility and informational purposes, so it needs to be easy to read and navigate.
We have the picture of the mansion that we use as a logo. That has been attached in a separate file. We would really like to incorporate that somewhere on the webpage. We are open to creative uses. I also attached an actual photograph of the mansion that you may be able to use creatively. If you have an idea that does not really include the mansion, we may be open to your idea. We are financial people, so we need your creative mind!
We DO NOT want:
-Red - no red backgrounds, bold fonts, etc.
-Stereotypical images that could put us in a box. Symbolic images are better suited. I attached a few files that we have. Will need more.
-Cartoonish designs or shapes
-A corporate feel. We are a boutique firm.
-No market watch boxes. We are consulting not wealth management.
-What we currently have at http://www.wartherconsulting.com. We put up the splash page to help spruce it up but we are not happy with the content pages.
Please feel free to be as creative as you want! I will be happy to answer any questions you may have.

Coach Ed Temple came to TSU in 1950 as a student, and left in 1994 as one of the most celebrated coaches in Olympic history.
Temple coached the women's Olympic track team in 1960 and in 1964, becoming the first to repeat the feat. He also was the coach of the 1980 team that boycotted the Olympics in Russia.
Even though Temple could not offer any student-athlete a scholarship, he still found a way to bring top quality talent to TSU such as Wilma Rudolph, Wyomia Tyus and Willie White.
Those runners, along with many others that Temple coached, combined to win 23 Olympic medals and 34 National Championships.
In all, Temple was a coach for 28 years and a part of the Olympic committee for 24.
Eight of the Tigerbelles that Temple coached have been inducted in the National Track and Field Hall of Fame including Wilma Rudolph and Chandra Cheeseborough- the current director for the TSU track and field team.
Outside of track, Temple made sure that his girls performed well in the classroom. In fact, all but one of Temple's Olympic TSU student-athletes graduated, and 28 of his trainees have master's degrees.
Last month, Temple was inducted into the United States Olympic Hall of Fame in Chicago.
Temple is also a member of the National Track & Field Hall of Fame, Tennessee Sports Hall of Fame, Helms Hall of Fame, Tennessee State University Hall of Fame, Harrisburg Central Area Chapter Hall of Fame, Pennsylvania Sports Hall of Fame, Ohio Valley Conference Hall of Fame, Black Athletes Hall of Fame and Communiplex National Sports Hall of Fame.
Tennessee State created an award for Temple called the Edward S. Temple Award that is given each year to the top female track and field student-athlete at the school.
The 100 Moments of TSU Athletics presented by Taco Bell® highlights some of the greatest moments in honor of Tennessee State's centennial celebration. A new moment will be released each weekday for a total of 100. These moments were chosen by the TSU 100 Moments committee, which consists of alums from various departments. TSU has so many great moments, not all can be represented in these 100.

I don't know how Access Hollywood missed this – it's certainly the talk of the wine world.
In 1976, a Paris-based British wine retailer named Steven Spurrier staged a publicity stunt, setting up a blind-tasting between up-and-coming California chardonnays and the top chardonnays from France.
To the anguish of French pride, the 1973 Chateau Montelena Chardonnay from California beat them all.
American wine lovers look back on the date as if it were the Fourth of July. It literally put America on the world wine map, and see how far we've come now.
Now, two new happenings:
A new movie, Bottle Shock, is coming out, loosely based on the 1976 tasting. It stars Alan Rickman as Steven Spurrier. Viewers say it's the next Sideways – the 2004 film in which Miles and Jack put California pinot noir on the map and did major damage to merlot.
Just as the movie comes out, the news arrives that the famous Chateau Montelena has just been sold – to the Bordeaux wine estate Chateau Cos d'Estournel.
I'm not sure whether to be proud or sad about that. I guess the dollar is so weak that the French figure that if you can't beat them, buy them.

We wish the deliveries to be in PSD, in addition to PNG/JPG files.
If you win, we want the PSDs organized in layers in a clean and logical way.
My promise to you designers! We will comment on every design and rate all of them! We will also guarantee this contest as soon as at least 4 designers have uploaded their designs.

Geneva, 19 April 2009
It is not the first time but it always worth underlining when public media of the calibre of The New York times use UN specialised sources to produce information and news. The New York Times published UNOSAT work on pirates' hot spots in their Sunday issue, on 17 April. UNOSAT launched a piracy monitoring activity a few years ago as part of its research on new satellite applications and solution. The success and usefulness of this type of mapping has been underlined many times since then, so that it has been decided to continue the effort. UNITAR is seeking dedicated funding from public and private entities to make this application a standard feature of UNITAR operational satellite applications. The feature is also available from the NYT website at the link below:

The Federal Bureau of Investigation's "10 Most Wanted List"has included some of the world's most notorious criminals, including Osama bin Laden, Ted Bundy and Warren Jeffs — totaling 497 since its creation in 1950. Of these, 466 have been apprehended or located, according to the FBI. And of these, 154 arrests have been assisted by the public through methods such as information posted on the website and in post offices.
With the success of the "Most Wanted" list, the bureau began putting photos and information about wanted criminals on its website in 1996. Since then, more than 60 fugitives have been arrested as a result of their information appearing on the site.
Along with the "Most Wanted," other fugitives are being sought by the FBI in a variety of categories — from violent crimes and cybercrimes to domestic terrorism and crimes against children. The FBI says it believes its efforts would be assisted by increased public awareness. One of the "Wanted by the FBI" categories, "white collar crime," highlights business or government professionals who are alleged to have defrauded institutions, organizations or individual investors out of large sums of money.
With the help of the FBI, we've highlighted some of these fugitives.Some even carry rewards of up to $100,000 for information leading to their arrest, so it could pay to be on the lookout. If you have any information on these criminals, the FBI encourages you to contact the agencythrough various methods listed on its website.
Who are some of these white collar fugitives and what did they do to attract the FBI's attention? Click ahead for 10 people wanted by the FBI.

The Burke-Gilman Trail is a successful Rails to Trails in Seattle – cyclists use it as a North/South thoroughfare. The battles to build it were before my time in Seattle and today the controversy is at the Ballard extension. While lawsuits and counter lawsuits make the news, this video from Streetfilms indirectly shows why. Industrial areas, big box stores, cars, and railroad tracks do not mix.
From a West Seattle perspective, Ballard and Stone Way (another law-suited bike lane) controversies don't address Marginal Way where cyclists are riding through a heavy construction zone. In the history of livable cities, that's where Seattle's battle lines are drawn.

A breakdown of major media company holdings
Buying Time Warner Cable would significantly boost Comcast's ranks of pay TV, Internet and phone service subscribers, but leave its media holdings largely unchanged. Here's a look at how the company stacks up against fellow media titans Disney, Twenty-First Century Fox and CBS.
COMCAST CORP. — The company consists of two halves — its cable TV division and its collection of TV, film and other entertainment properties.
Comcast's cable division touts itself as America's largest provider of video, high-speed Internet and telephone services to residential customers under the XFINITY brand. It also provides similar services to businesses and sells advertising.
The company said Thursday that it has 22 million pay TV subscribers, but plans to divest 3 million of them once the deal for Time Warner Cable Inc. closes. With the addition of Time Warner Cable's 11.2 million subscribers, the combined entity would end up with about 30 million.
Meanwhile, the company's NBCUniversal division includes a broadcast arm, more than a dozen cable networks, digital, film and other businesses.
Founded in 1926, NBC was the first U.S. national broadcast network. It now provides national and local programing through more than 200 affiliated stations. The broadcast division includes, entertainment, news and sports divisions, along with Spanish-language content producer Telemundo.
The company also owns cable networks including E!, Sprout, MSNBC, Syfy, USA Network and CNBC.
NBCUniversal creates and distributes films through its Universal Pictures business. Its classic movies include "Jaws," ″E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial." The division also operates theme parks in Florida and California.
THE WALT DISNEY CO. — Best known for its classic children's films and theme parks, the company has grown to include broadcaster ABC and mainstream cable channels such as ESPN.
The company's media networks division includes a variety of broadcast, cable, radio, publishing and digital businesses, including the ABC Television Network, Disney Channels Worldwide and ESPN Inc., as well as the company's stakes in A&E television Networks, Hulu and Fusion.
Disney also operates 11 theme parks and 44 resorts in North America, Europe and Asia. The division also includes the company's cruise line and a 12-property vacation club.
In addition, Walt Disney Studios produces feature films under the company's namesake brands, along with those of Pixar Animation Studios, Marvel Studios, Lucasfilm, Touchstone Pictures and others.
The company also operates a consumer-products division that produces and licenses everything from toys and apparel to books and art. Its Disney Store chain operates more than 350 stores around the world.
Disney also operates an interactive division whose products include mobile and console games. It also operates Disney.com and other websites.
TWENTY-FIRST CENTURY FOX INC. — The holdings of this media entertainment giant controlled by Rupert Murdoch include the Fox Broadcasting Network, along with numerous cable channels, a film division and direct broadcast and satellite TV providers.
In addition to Fox Broadcasting, the company's other TV networks include the Fox Sports network, along with its Fox Television Stations Group, which covers 28 stations in 18 markets, and MyNetworkTV.
Fox's cable network programing division includes Fox Networks, which covers 44 owned-and-operated and joint venture TV networks, video on demand and other media platforms. Its cable channel lineup includes Fox Business, Fox Deportes, Big Ten Network, Fox News Channel, Fox Sports and FX.
The company's filmed entertainment division includes Twentieth Century Fox, one of the world's largest producers and distributors of films. And its Twentieth Century Fox Television business supplies prime-time TV shows such as "Modern Family" and "Glee."
Fox's direct broadcast and satellite TV division includes its Sky TV businesses, which operate in the United Kingdom and Ireland, Germany and Italy.
CBS CORP. — Like NBCUniversal, CBS operates a TV network that dates back to the dawn of the broadcasting age. It began in 1928 when founder William Paley bought 16 independent radio stations and turned them into the Columbia Broadcast System.
Today, the company covers more than 200 TV stations and affiliates. Its popular shows include "NCIS," ″The Big Bang Theory" and "60 Minutes."
In addition to the broadcast network, CBS' holdings include cable, publishing, radio, local TV, film, outdoor advertising and interactive properties.
In addition to its namesake TV network, the company's businesses include, The CW, which is a joint venture between CBS and Warner Bros. Entertainment, Showtime Networks, CBS News, CBS Sports Network, CBS Television Stations and CBS Radio.
It also operates production, distribution, interactive, consumer product and home entertainment businesses.

Use 'GNU
"GNU's Not Unix" curves above, and "Free Software Foundation" borders below in this Lisp-like statement about GNU. Two "parentheses" formed by curved, dancing GNUs form a pseudo-Lisp program: (USE 'GNU).
