Thanks Paul, Charles. Thanks DN for archiving this track.
Thanks for the walk down memory lane!
I have used the 8051 in industrial use.
Having ground through a lot of 8-bit applications as well as bit slice and custom microsequencer designs it is easy to appreciate the 32 processors of today
Good presentation on comparison of issues between 8 bit to 32 bit processing
Thanks Paul
Thank you Paul!
no arctan
Yes to Moore's law
Microchip PIC family
Hi from Or
Have played with most of these except the Hitachi, first processor I played with was the RCA scamp, built my first digital computer based on a Motorola 6801. Have put a lot of products in the field with 8048, 8051, 6800 and PIC based circuits. A basic slurpie machine has a 6811, and up to 5 PICs just to give you a frozen beverage.
Thank you, Paul!
@chuck - not yet, but interested to play with it in the future...
@chuck - yes, I ahve seen similar charts before...
@host - used Z80 and 8051
Great to have access to the recorded sessions
Missed the live session due to travel...
Thanks! nice presentation
Great material to show the shift from 8-Bit to 32-Bit in Today's Microcontroller worls, and the best part is with Today's process technologies the cost of a small entrey Level 32 Bit Micro is the same if not even lower than an 8 Bit Micro.
I've used many of the old 8-bit uCs.
Thank you!
I have worked with some of there processsors, primarily as a graduate teaching assistant. I taught laboratories using the 8085, which was a new device at the time, and also used the 6800 a little bit. As an undergraduate I remember entering programs into an 8080 system with toggle switches. And don't forget the 6502!
thank you Paul,
a very late hi all,
Good review:
Catching up
I'm still uisng 8051 based MCUs.
I've needed to use complex math to convert between voltage and power.
Thank you Paul and Digikey for the lecture.. It was an awesome one!
Thanks Paul; very informative lecture
Paul seems to be clueless about all the cool things we are doing with 8 bit micros today.
Remember, we are in a cost competitive environment where our customers do not pay for anything that they do not need.
Thanks, Paul and Chuck.
I have used many of these.
Thanks for the class. So far I am learning a lot in this series of classes
thanks Paul
Thanks Paul, Digikey, and everyone.
Thanks Paul and everyone.
OK - I must sign off, thank you everyone for your
interest and great questions. See you tomorrow...
Thanks !
About pipeline again: Check out the ISB, DSB, DMB
arm instructions!
CORTEX-M0 I believe is a three-stage pipeline.
CORTEX-M0 permits memory access re-organization. We'll
talk some about this tomorrow - The pipeline thing is a
fascinating subject.
Paul, thank you! This is a great lesson!
Thanks Paul, great intro lecture. Looking forward for more in-depth info about Cortex.
Quick question: Do you know how many levels of pipeline Cortex-M0 uses ? Is it something like 7-9 ?
OOOhhh good question: Harvard Architecture.
Interesting answer: Cortex-M0 IS Von-Newman Architecture with pipelines
Cortex-M3/M4 is Harvard Architure, I will talk about this a bit in the next
days. I will say, it surprised me that -M0 is NOT harvard architecture.
Slides are available at the time of the webinar.
Ok, thanks, I'll check back later for the slides.
Paul, does the ARM processor consider as Harvard architecture?
The rest of the slides should be ready later today I think.
@PAUL: Thank you!
Yes, this lecture did belabor the 8-32-bit point.
We'll talk alot more about the guts in the next
few days.
@Paul or Chuck: I just tried to get tomorrow's slides and got an error. Have the rest of the packages been poseted?
PAUL, looks like you haven't seen my question posted twice:
@PAUL: In a nut shell, how would you compare the Cortex x335 A8 and the M0?
Hi - CORTEX-A8 vs CORTEX-M0
whopping difference! For one, the
Cortex-A class is different than the -M class.
They are purposed differently. We'll
touch on -M0, -M3, -M4 differences in the
next few days, but won't compare to the -A's.
Yeah, I like the smell of oil in the morning too.
Ohhh - Symmetric vs non-symmetric
In this case I mean in non-symmetric that
there are lots of special use, special case registers.
They are not so general purpose. They have restrictions
on use.
Symmetric processor - in constrast allow registers to be used
with few restriction.
This is the short-typed answer.
I wonder if the idea is for hardware mftrs just to team up with a C/C+ or Java compiler outfit and bring out a toolchain and performance metrics and we just base our decision on the cost/metrics (and don't care anymore whether is is a dual-core chip, FPGA uCs chip or ultrafast 2-bit RISC micro, whatever).
Yes, I lean left....
Paul, what is the different symmetric and non-symmetric processor?
I'm looking forward to more details later!
Thanks again over all a strong first day
I'll be back
Thank you. I am looking forward to ARM in detail
Are you covering the architecure level info of CORTEX MO processor in upcoming letcures? Curious to know on the transistor level design practice of the architecure like static core with dynamic logic core
See you tomorrow.
Yes, see you tomorrow.
So a left leaning triangle is superior to a right leaning triangle. I think you politics is showing subliminally.
Are you going to provide a history of the ARM processor as well? As far as previous generations? Just a list or timeline to distinguish this one from others?
Thanks Paul, great lecteur very easy to understand.
Thanks, Paul and Chuck. May have belabored the point of 8 vs 32 a bit for my taste today, but I'm looking forward to details of ARM to come.
thanks Paul and Chuck. This was a good intro to why 32bit instead of 8bit. See all tomorrow.
Hi I see two questions:
1: What are the triangles? The triangles were
in my mind a way of showing the changing balance between feature size and execution time.
Perhaps a balance itself would have been better!!!!
2) ARCTAN Question: Yes, look up tables are good, Cordic function is real good too.
But for the purist that I am, I turn to the MATH.H library and use atan();
Easy to follow lecture... good job!
Good Intro. I need more now. Looking forward to the rest of the week with you.
Thanks for showing example and addressing the latency advantage of 32 bit processing compare to 8 bit
Thank you for the lecture, Paul - very clear, concise and a great delivery! Looking forward to the following days...
Paul there was some confusion on significance of the triangles. Please repeat.
thanks have a better understanding with the numbers followed I followed along nicely.
great! thanks Paul!
great intro information... THANKS PAUL...
Thanks Paul!
have used lookup tables in the past for microcontrollers. linear interpolation between the data points. not very accurate, but good enough at the time
thanks guys
Thanks, Paul - good to hear you again! Missed you @ Re Union!
Mark Kolenik
Paul great job I especially like the attention to move to the next slide and felt the lecture was clear and to the point
except maybe the bluefin triangles
Look forward to tomorrow's!
Paul, what is the meaning of trainsistor size on the two triangles you showed?
thanks Paul - great introduction - thank you Chuck and DigiKey
thx, that was on target
Thanks paul, chuck. Good session
Hi everyone, can I be of help with any questions?
thanks, Paul!
Thanks for a good lecture
Paul, thank you!
"Table" is a very good idea!
Thank you.
Thanks guys!
Thanks Paul!!
Chuck, thank you
Thanks Paul & Chuck!
Thanks Paul for lecture
Thkx Paul, Chuck.
Good job, Paul.
Thanks Paul.
When doing higher math, use tables, if you have the space.
Paul, you have presented this as a truly educational seminar! No hidden promotion of any one vendor. Thanks!
WHen use "C", I believe no big difference between 8 bit or 32 bit. But the 32 bit core will have short code and run very fast.
In the 8-bit days, there were fewer instructions, but many steps. The problem today is zillions of instruction variation, but quick responding. Hard to learn all these types.
biggest problem on 8 bit, is precision and accuracy
@Michael Anderson- Dead right !
I have only done for basic math i.e multiplication and division for floating point etc
not this one.
No, not at this time
@jl: I think the real significance is that the C compiler will generate instruction sequences similar to what is being presented, so that two processors at identical clock speeds take hugely different times to do the exact same line of C source code, even after the compiler does every clever thing it can to optimize.
Geometrical solutions are a must in our business. Always looking to simplfy.
Have not done a lot with higher math. Used look up tables as fast work around a couple of times.
FFT routine on 8 bit micro to harmonic analyzis
have done math on 8 bit, not pretty
Higher math yes, absolutely.
No higher math yet...
I've had to do this type of calculation for angles in an 8 bit processor.
Arctan used in position control - I'm a controls engineer
I used lookup tables for higher math answers rather than calculating.
I have done this alot with 3d graphics
we use large lookup tables to speed it up
also used alot in checksum generation and cyrpto
Done as a taylor serries.
I have used this kind of math.
Higher math? Just before this class. :)
have not used higher math for embedded work yet.
Have used approximations to speed up trig fn's
Slopes and area under curves.
I used lookuptables to speed up sine on 6502
linear math transformation can do
yes math is always tough with 8-bit
I have - I've used simplified equations that approximate the actual result or lookup tables
Yes to the Higher Math Functions
I did several times. They are typical academic examles.
flotting point calculation
Of course, lots of trig
Transcendentals suck on 8-bit platforms...
very much so
Haven't done it for ages.
yes. then we use C.
Yup, and the CORDIC !
Many problems requiring higher math
If I am correct, 32 bit requires memory alignment - writting a single byte to an odd address will crash, why? does 8bit has such issue?
it seems the presentation target is at the machine code and assembler code level - we all understand C code hides all this, but does not help when C is not avaiable on the platform
Again C code hides these steps
did not get what is transistor size is doing up there! anyhow . . .
You mean a blue fin dont you
No it's a Blackfin
@phildani7 The trangles are showing the relationships of transistor density vs. data width vs. instruction size. It's a bit inscruitable to just look at it without his description.
I think the first triangle showed us that we could increase the Data width to balance the triangle
meantime transistor size shrank
so now we can rebalance the triangle by ?
Neither did I. Glad to see I wasn't the only one.
Is it a SHARC fin ?
C hides lots of this...
i couldnt understand the meaning of the triangle in page 9. Anyone?
the advantage of 32bit here is only transferring the data. if it is an event timer, this is done in hw not code
Nah, I'd increment a counter (to 3) and use one 8-bit timer to increment the counter.
for those experiencing adio buffering issues - try pressing the "pause" button on the left, then press the "play" button on the left - this has worked well for me.
Many MCUs that are 8/16-bit have 8, 16 and 32-bit timers.
My audio is streaming in perfectly
The wonders of 64bit or better network connectivity?
I vote for the later
for audio buffering, try browser refresh.
Hi, I'm here. but audio is buffering.
@mkwired, the audio will be available archived soon after the session
more movie data faster and faster
My laptop is a 64bit machine
Will this audio be available later because it is constantly buffering.
Hi all, I little bit late. I'm from Wilmington, North Carilina, working for GE
electron spin binary is coming
My salary (in real terms) is inversely proportional to Moores Law.
Soon we'll need to shrink the molecules.
Moore's Law is something like transistor count will double evey year in the same die area.
Familiar with Moore's Law
Hi all a little Late From California
Wasn't that doubling every 18 months?
Yes, many times
Yes know of Moore's law
Very familiar with Moore's Law. Like this chart though.
Slight 7 does not look like a Moore's law chart!
I've seen it dozens of times. Starting to see some significant clustering as the process feature size tops out.
@Chuck: not familiar this particular Moore's law chart. Good chart, and a useful inclusion to this presentation.
Thanks. Looks like our IT has blocked us from accessing this.
Moore's Law: not just a good idea, it's the law!
Familiar with Moore's law.
Have seen and used in the past many times
Yes but I think it's about to expire. IT had a long run!
yep, I've seen it!
familiar with moore's law. have seen the bleeding edge of this effect.
Moore's Law: Yes, worked for Intel..... :-)
I have not seen the chart before
Heard of it many times but not in chart form.
moore's law.. each 8months the size is divided by two
yes, know of it
Yes, in one form or another, But this one has some good detail in it.
Familiar with the Moore's Law, but never seen this particular chart
First time
I've seen it before
yes, seen similar charts
Familiar w/ Moore's Law
Moores law -- seen many times in 40 years

(I still have all my wirewrap tools and boxes of colored wire!) I don't know if I miss those days... :)
Dealt with Intel segment registers a few times. Not fun.
painfully aware of segment registers
8086/8088 and further 8018x as well.
Where's the audio / video?
Good afternoon Paul, sorry I'm late tuning in.
Phanton select on the S100 bus to swap out the ROMs and swap in RAM on the Z80!
Good afternoon folks.

It may not prove anything but it is not meaningless. Clippers are fighting for potential home-court in NBA Finals.
Big Freakin Baby!!!! Who Is A Bust Again? You cannot call a player a bust because he isn't getting the ball in areas to succeed. Post Up and Pick and Pop is his game and now we finally got to that.
Whom are you gonna chose him or crawford??
Big Baby and JJ look comfortable out there together. All you have to do is get Hedo out there lol
My problem with refs are they are not consistent at all. If your gonna call it tight on one side call it tight on the other that is all i ask...
We gonna make a run or are we gonna **** around?
Oh well, schedule loss coming up.
Geez, this Dirk guy is just too good.
Ok. Have them right where we want them. Double digit deficit.
LOL, we're not making a fourth consecutive miracle comeback against this team, especially not with how horrible our three-point defense has been tonight.
The TNT curse and schedule strikes again, that's really all that needs to be said.
Game is not over yet. Time for defense turnupness
Not looking good guys...
If you play 60% in the NBa you'd be down 30 points every game by the second half
wow these refs are ****.
This is definitely the worse 3 point defending game I have seen. If we lose oh well...we're gonna be 3rd seed
Put the scrubs in, it's over.
We were going to be the third seed anyway because of the Spurs' loss.
Finally a foul. Jeezusss
I hate how Barnes is always forcing shots.
How is this a schedule loss? We are at home and they played last night too.
Second night of a back-to-back coming off a long road trip, and we had to mount a big energy-expending comeback to win last night.
man **** these refs
Ok guys, now do you hate these calls? lol, this is so aggravating. Bye bye home court advantage...
Imagine if we had vince man he would be perfect
Look, they called a f***** foul. What a surprise!!!!
Time to sit the starters.
they played tuesday
HCA was a hard thing in the first place, but the OKC win vs SA probably took it out of reach anyways
Gotta give it to Dirk. Guy can ball. And you cannot win every game. Sometimes a good team gets hot and outplays you. Can you spell Calderon?
I'm sort of disgusted with he lack of defense
**** TNT, by the way, for only scheduling us on near-guaranteed losses in order to feed red meat to the haters.
Schedule loss... no big deal... we are a lock for 3
Always nice to have a calming voice on these forums.
Even this game is a loss its great that we see Redick playing a good game we are better in PO.
We need the 2 seed to beat OKC.
Exactly, we got a good lead over Houston anyway
This game ain't over! Our defense is increasing
6 point game though!
If it happens again though...
If we play Clipper basketball to the fullest who cares who has home court.. We can beat anyone when we are on.
Not getting my hopes up, but we're playing better now.
Defense! Defense! Defense! Can we pull off two upsets in a row?
Oh me oh my, lol. Clips down only 6 now. Deja vu? lol Perhaps the Clips will steal another one from the Mavs.
DC! Finally we're playing some D
We've gotten out share of calls this game, there's been some that could have gone the Clippers way, but it's really not been anything to complain so much about.
C'mon guys.. keep playing as hard as you can..
What a friggin' game!!!!
DOWN two got to still play better D.
DEFENSE! Defense! Defense!

Grandal suspended 50 games
Catcher Yasmani Grandal is no longer part of the Reds, but this is still interesting news that crossed on Wednesday: Grandal was given a 50-game suspension by Major League Baseball for a positive test of testosterone.
You may recall that Grandal was a major part of the the 4-for-1 trade with the Padres last December that brought starting pitcher Mat Latos to the Reds. Also sent to San Diego were Yonder Alonso, Brad Boxberger and Edinson Volquez.
Grandal was also a first-round pick of the Reds in 2010.

Last night I took the plunge and started transcribing the diary of my 2x great-uncle Percy Ebenezer Trower.
I have been in this position before and have never managed to progress beyond the first couple of pages , hopefully this time I can keep the momentum going.
I am going to try to do a page a night. I realise that at that rate it is going to take almost two years to complete, but I have precious little spare time as it is without devoting several hours a day to reading difficult handwriting. Small chunks are definitely the way forward.
I have started working in just a basic text editor for now, but I will be looking for something a bit more advanced before I get too far down the road because I want to be able to do more with the text than just having it sitting as a plain text file on my hard drive.
It is quite obvious to me that I will need to add some footnotes as I go along, mainly for my own benefit, to explain some of the people, places and events mentioned.
Last night's page included a reference to the one of A. J. Alan's wireless stories and of course I had to stop to find out who A. J. Alan was and even listened to a couple of his stories. These two stories were quite light-hearted (and where I found Percy the Prawn) but some of his other material was somewhat darker.
Percy didn't say whether he liked the story he listened to or not, but I certainly enjoyed them and they had made me contemplate getting hold of some more of his work. At this rate it is going take a lot longer than two years to complete.

Although most of last week was spent sorting out files and folders, I did manage to do quite a bit of new research as well. This is just what I needed, starting the transition from organising to researching.
Hopefully next week will see the bulk of my organising done. Of course it will never be completely done, as new material will be turning up all the time in need of processing and filing, but at least I have everything in place and a system that should make it easier in future to know where to filing things, and where to find them when I need them.
Most of the research was about the branch of BATEMAN family that grew up in Australia. The pursuit of the descendants of my 2x great-uncle William Joseph Henry BATEMAN is something I will be taking on in the forthcoming weeks. As part of this I want to try and write some posts about what I already know about the family.
In terms of organising, the GASSON surname folder is virtually sorted and that only leaves the GEERING folder to go. It is my intention to get both of those folders completed this week, and by the following week I want to have gone through all the surname folders and make sure everything is as it should be and I will produce a template that will enable me at a glance to see where new information fits into the system.
The amount of new BATEMAN research meant I didn't get chance to start going through my database and start defining some goals, I would like to try and start that this week, although I don't expect to complete it. I do however need to decide which projects I am going to be working on next.
One of those projects might involve the WRIGHT/SHORNDEN family of Alton, Hampshire. Having visited Alton last weekend I would like to find out more about their time in Alton. One long term goal is to find out how they came to be in Hampshire in the first place, when they were previously in Kent.

Many see the MOX project as vital to keep America's word, to use the time-tested expertise at the Savannah River Site and to turn destructive devices into fuel to power homes of the future.
Others see the Mixed Oxide Fuel Fabrication Facility, or MOX project, as a huge waste of taxpayer money, making a product that no one wants at a place that should clean up its legacy waste rather than creating new.
Since its conception, the MOX project has had ardent critics and powerful boosters. But as the national budget crunch is seeing thousands of employees' paychecks threatened and tens of millions of dollars in funding absent at SRS, what is the future of one of the largest capital projects in the United States?
On April 8, with the 2014 fiscal year budget, funding for the MOX project will be announced that will not only show its scope for the next year, but possibly if the project has a future, at all.
Currently, the project status is 60 percent complete, the main structure has a roof, but still has more than 100 construction openings. Currently, according to Shaw Areva Mox Services, pipe, HVAC systems and glovebox fire systems are currently being incorporated.
For more than a month, environmental groups have claimed MOX could face cuts as deep as 75 percent, something that could devastate the 2,000-plus workforce. Reports emanated from individuals who claim knowledge of National Nuclear Security Administration passback documents. Passbacks are budgetary decisions of the Office of Management and Budget. This document outlines the appropriations for federal agencies. NNSA's passback was significantly delayed this year.
More recently, sources in Washington, D.C., and others with knowledge of the facility's operations have told the Aiken Standard that cuts will be closer to 50 percent for the MOX project, with a near-75 percent cut overall to the NNSA's Office of Fissile Materials Disposition. That office is responsible for all activities relating to the disposition of highly-enriched uranium and plutonium, which are excess to U.S. national security needs. This includes MOX, projects at the Y-12 Complex in Tennessee and other work.
"I don't know where that leaves (MOX)," said one source, who wished to remain anonymous as they are not authorized to speak publicly. "If appropriations stayed at that level, it'd take five years just to close (MOX)."
The appropriations to MOX has been a battle fought hard by South Carolina's federal delegation, headed by senior Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham, christened Senator MOX by Friends of the Earth's Tom Clements, described the embattled project as being of critical importance.
"MOX is our future!" he said. "Turning 34 metric tons of weapons-grade plutonium into commercial nuclear fuel is a national security imperative for me. We are inside the 10 yard line, and this is not the time to abandon the MOX program. If we abandon MOX, the Russians will deal with their 34 tons of weapons grade plutonium."
Graham said that he has talked to White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough about the final funding numbers for MOX, telling him "what kind of message would it send to abandon the MOX project" as the United States has an agreement with the Russian Federation?
"It makes no sense to abandon the program … it would be the most contrary message in the history of the world," Graham said.
"While it's clear that knowledge of world history is no requirement to be a senator, it is Sen. Graham's unbridled support of MOX with no budget accountability that is the project's undoing," said Friends of the Earth's Clements, a longtime MOX opponent.
Graham believes that, with President Barack Obama's move toward reducing the nuclear arsenal, cutting funding to a program designed for nonproliferation would be counter-intuitive. Clements said funding should be focussed on remediating high-level liquid legacy waste.
"Distracted by ill-conceived projects like MOX, Sen. Graham and some in SRS management have taken their eyes off the critical cleanup mission at the site," Clements said. "Given growing budget constraints, it's time for the senator to get to work to secure adequate funding for the urgent cleanup effort at SRS, which will long remain the most important activity at the site."
According to reports from Washington, it is believed that the funds earmarked for MOX are being moved toward programs maintaining and servicing nuclear armaments.
"Here's the problem, the START treaty, reducing the number of launch vehicles, part of the deal was to modernize our nuclear weapons force," Graham said of the funding shift. "That money was never made available, so that broke the deal."
The 2010 Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty (New START), referred to by Graham, may be a candidate for what-could-have-been MOX project funding.
The treaty aims to reduce the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers by half and institute a new inspection and verification regime."

Looking for a secret weapon, something to impress your friends with, something to intimidate your opponents with?
Look no further because on these pages you`ll find thousands of fabulous collector discs, all of which are kept in a strict climate-controlled environment in order to prevent the natural degredation of plastic that occurs when it is subject to temperature and humidity extremes repeatedly over a period of years.
The categories of the most common types of collector discs are listed on the left. Rarer, more unusual models are listed below and on the following pages.
The appeal behind the disc golf collector market stems from the fact that, in the overall scheme of things, many disc models are produced in incredibly small batches when compared to the total number of disc golfers and disc collectors around the world. Some are produced in as few as 50-100 total worldwide. Even discs that are produced in quantities as high as a couple of thousand, easily have the potential to be collector items if they find an adoring audience. In fact many discs have done just that, selling in the $100-300 range.

Clipper DomiNATION!!!!!!
Good riddance. We don't need his immaturity in the locker room again next season.
There were two Laker fans to the left of me,
three Laker fans to the right of me,
two Laker fans in front of me
they bellowed and thundered.
For too many drinks they paid?
Were drugs in the lemon aid?
Did they think they'd really make the grade?
They STFU and left.
I forget that nowadays with the state of our educational system, for you youngsters school attendance and education sometimes have little relationship to each other. This is based on the classic poem "Charge of the Light Brigade" During the Crimean War somebody screwed up and 600 cavalry made a headlong suicide charge into batteries of cannon and were cut to pieces like Pickett's charge
Why are people surprised about glen? He's signed for nothing of course he wants more
Big Baby hasn't impressed me much, I hope he does choose to leave. I would really like to have Jordan Hill on the bench.
I've always liked Jordan Hill. I'd like to see him in a Clips uniform. Good size, a solid rebounder, hustle player, an "OK" scorer (that's a bit of an extra). Maybe MDA won't have use for Hill next season. We can give him consistent playing time not like how D'antoni just sat him for so many games.
Listening to the game DAMN! Hubie Brown really big Laker fan, ticking me off listening to him being pissed off at the lakers rather than commending the clippers.
When LAL was playing Dallas I think, Stu "the Eeesy deuce" Lantz did nothing but rip the short handed injured Lakers who were playing with scrubs and Nash who obviously doesn't care and praising Dallas. Welcome to Laker Loyalty

Last year wasn't a particularly good year for me or my blog so thank you to those who stuck with me last year, but what better time than New Year to resolve that I am going to make 2012 a better genealogy blogging year?
It is my intention to return to a daily blogging schedule this year. Time is still going to be an issue so I am not sure that I will achieve an 100% success rate on this, but I need to aim high to stand any chance succeeding.
I need to get more organised and achieve some time savings in the whole blogging process to maximise my time but most of all I need to learn to sit down and write, rather than worrying too much about what I should be writing or what else I could be doing instead.
I want to be tackling some new topics and making it more useful to my readers, in particular I want to make this blog much more Sussex focused. Whether it is news, walking or my own family history I intend to focus more on Sussex, hopefully not to the extent that other English counties don't get a look in, but much more than I have done in the past.
One of my ideas is to introduce a new category of posts focusing on family history in Sussex, hopefully fulfilling my intentions to make this blog useful and informative. I also want to be writing more about aspects of Sussex history and life, providing more background on the county that was home to the majority of my ancestors and fulfilling my blog's tagline, Exploring the Lives and Landscapes of my Ancestors.

As author Jacob Abbott traveled through Virginia and the Carolinas in 1835, he experienced something that he described as Southern hospitality.
Some people said that Abbott was the first one to coin that term as he was astounded by how welcomed he felt in the lower eastern portion of the country; complete strangers showed a willingness to make him feel at home. He noted that "the hospitality of southerners is ... profuse."
Now, in 2013, would Abbott feel the same way? Is hospitality still a prevalent characteristic of today's Southern culture?
The history
Southern hospitality was really just a fact of life during the Civil War era.
USC Aiken professor and author Dr. Tom Mack said that the South was not as urbanized as the North, especially during the War Between the States. The majority of the South was still quite rural, and there were few to no public houses, hotels or inns such as those in the North. Travelers to the South found themselves spending their nights in private residences.
Mack added that Southern hospitality can also be connected to religious practices, citing the story of the good Samaritan in the Bible and the idea of helping that stranger on the road.
As time passed, the concept of Southern hospitality seemed to stick.
Dr. Robert Freymeyer, an Aiken resident and professor of sociology at Presbyterian College, quoted John Shelton Reed and Dale Volberg Reed, the authors of "1,001 Things Everyone Should Know about The South." The Reeds described Southern hospitality as "legendary" and that Southern manners "have inspired a good deal of comment, usually favorable." Southern hospitality appears to be something with which both people of the North and South identify when thinking of the states below the Mason-Dixon Line.
Freymeyer said the traditions and historical sense of Southerners are strong. He said although globalization and migration has changed a lot of aspects of the South, the notion of hospitality seems to still exist.
The youth
David McLeod is the owner of Social Inc., an organization that instills manners and life skills in young men and women in the CSRA. Classes include social dancing, but it's considered more of an exercise in teamwork than an art.
McLeod said many of the parents he has met over the years strived to teach their children the value of Southern hospitality, and Social Inc. reinforces what's being taught at home. He said they are combating a variety of distractions affecting current generations, including television, social media and movies.
"I certainly don't believe that Southern hospitality is dying," McLeod said. "If it's anything, parents want it more because they see these forces working against their kids."
Dr. Charmaine Wilson, communications professor at USC Aiken, works closely with today's generation of young adults and feels they are managing to keep aspects of Southern hospitality alive.
Wilson is originally from Montana and lived in many places before she moved to Aiken. Moving to a Southern city was a bit of culture shock, Wilson said. People would wait and hold doors open for her, even when she was quite far from the building. She noticed many students saying, "Yes, ma'am" or "Yes, sir."
"My observation is that our students from this area are very polite and well-mannered by and large," Wilson said. "Manners are still emphasized and important in Southern families."
A Northerner's perspective
Elliott Levy, executive director of the Aiken County Historical Museum, is originally from Maine and said he's experienced nothing but Southern hospitality since he moved to Aiken.
Levy said there are several residents who have helped preserve that bit of Southern culture. He mentioned the late Ola Hitt, who took World War II and Korean War veterans into her home. The veterans had nowhere to go, and Hitt made her home theirs, similarly reflecting the stories from the Civil War era.
He said that although Hitt has passed, the lessons of selflessness and treating others with kindness are still alive. He said Army Maj. Benjamin Van Meter, originally from Oregon, was based at Fort Gordon before heading to Afghanistan but found a home in Aiken.
Van Meter wrote in a letter published in the museum's newsletter that he had received a lot of support from the area through the many care boxes that were spread around to other soldiers and airmen stationed at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan. The generosity inspired him to fly the South Carolina flag at the airfield.
"What comes from the heart is really hospitality," Levy said.
Levy also mentioned The Willcox, about which Southern hospitality is always mentioned in the magazines that recognize the award-winning hotel.
"It's the hospitality that we offer in our stores and museums," Levy said. "It's part of the ambience of Aiken."
Southern hospitality in generations
Sissy Brodie and Cody Anderson come from two very different generations, but Southern hospitality is equally important to them both.
To Brodie, who is a native of Aiken, Southern hospitality is warm, welcoming and all about treating others with respect.
"There's no secret to it; no secret ingredient," Brodie said.
Brodie has hosted tea parties for several decades and has trained young ladies on how to be good hostesses.
Brodie also believes in sharing her home with others. For years, she'd take in exhausted traveling cyclists and let them stay in her guest bedroom for the night.
She makes a concerted effort to interact with people, whether she's grocery shopping or strolling around downtown Aiken.
Brodie believes that many people in the South still believe in treating people respectfully, engaging in social interaction with others and having tableside manners.
Anderson, 26, is also a native Aikenite and said he's Southern by the grace of God. He said that Southern hospitality is the greatest asset to his heritage and lifestyle.
Recently, Anderson spent a week in Manhattan and noticed that the pace of life in New York is very different. Anderson said he made sure to greet any waiter or retailer he came across by asking how their day was going. He watched their faces light up because someone simply acknowledged their presence.
Anderson said that Southern hospitality is still alive – especially in Aiken.
"I think it defines us," Anderson said. "It goes back to the golden rule. Southern people believe that we're here for such a short time, we have to value life. We have to enjoy it and make the most of it by loving those around us."
Amy Banton is the County reporter for the Aiken Standard and has been with the publication since May 2010.

Ever wondered what your nightly tossing, turning, and snoring would look like if turned into art by a robot? Now you can find out, by winning the chance to stay at a hotel belonging to European chain Ibis, where an ABB robot paints your sleep patterns.
As part of the hotel's "Sleep Art" advertising campaign, ABB's smallest robot, the IRB 120, will paint patterns inspired by the dreams of 25 people. By sleeping on a specially designed mattress in an Ibis-owned Paris, Berlin, or London hotel, participants' dreams will be conveyed to the robot via 80 motion, sound, and temperature sensors in the mattress' topper.
"The topper is built with a grid of force sensing resistors (FSRs), which detect exactly where and how the person is lying," ABB France spokesman Guillaume Pradels wrote in an email to Design News. "Over time, this obviously translates to motion as well."
The sensor grid is connected to the "Dreambox," which collects detailed information on each individual FSR. Along with the room's temperature and sound levels, also captured by the Dreambox, this data is then streamed by a WiFi link to a computer that controls the art production.
The software running on the computer, and the Dreambox hardware, was made by ACNE Production, the Swedish production company overseeing the project. After receiving the sensor data, the computer parses it into an algorithm and sends the sleeper's positions to the IRB 120.
ABB wrote software that collects the data from the Dreambox and allows the robot to capture sleep patterns, process the data, and turn it into a personalized visualization. ABB also wrote software that talks to the IRB 120's controller interface using a TCP socket via the IP protocol over Ethernet. After the IRB 120 gets the data from the computer, ABB's robot path algorithm calculates the correct path by applying the relevant orientation on the brush, avoiding collision, and other out-of-reach or singularity problems.
Proprietary smart path computation assures the robot's delicate and smooth movements. So does the fact that the robot path is speed-independent, due to ABB's proprietary QuickMove and TrueMove technology. The result is a series of multi-colored brushstrokes applied to a canvas in a rendering of the data that becomes a unique acrylic painting.
In its normal everyday life, the IRB 120 is used mostly in the 3C (computing, communication, and consumer) industry for handling parts, dispensing, and machine tending. It was chosen for the Sleep Art project for several reasons. Both the manipulator and the controller, which each weigh 25 kg (55.1 lb), are small in size and weight, so it's relatively easy to handle. The robot also has 0.01mm top-of-class repeatability, as well as top-of-class accuracy.
Robotic hands have been developed for a variety of tasks that require a delicate touch, such as disarming improvised explosive devices (IEDs), or performing brain surgery. But these do not usually depend on industrial roots for emulating humans' fine motor movements.
Although digitally streaming computed data to an industrial robot is not new, the robot path algorithm developed for this application is unique, said Pradels. ABB hasn't decided yet what other applications the algorithm might be used for. One possibility might be digital fabrication in construction, which has already been explored by architects Gramazio & Kohler using ABB's IRB 4600 robot.

Regular readers will know of my love of the South Downs, but I doubt many will be aware of the connections between the South Downs and the famous secret agent James Bond. There are at least two occasions when filming for the popular series of films took place on the South Downs. One I have known about for some time, but I only learnt about the second earlier this year.
Probably the most famous connection was the use of Amberley Museum & Heritage Centre (then called the Amberley Chalk Pits Museum) for three weeks in the summer of 1984 for filming of scenes from the film A View to a Kill starring Roger Moore as James Bond. In the film Bond with the help of May Day (Grace Jones) prevents Max Zorin (Christopher Walken) from destroying Silicon Valley.
Amberley Chalk Pits Museum provided the location for the Main Strike Mine which was going to be blown up, triggering an earthquake which was going to cause a flood or something like that, I can't remember the exact details of villain's evil plan. The photo below shows the entrance to the mine which still bears the sign used during the filming.
Whilst Bond and May Day were busy saving the world (or at least San Francisco), Zorin attempted to make his escape in an airship. Bond caught hold of one the mooring ropes as the airship rose skywards, leaving May Day to get blown up just outside of the entrance to the mine.
The airship with Bond dangling from the rope rose up above the chalk pit in Sussex into the skies above San Francisco, finally getting tangled up on the Golden Gate Bridge, where Zorin finally met his end.
Many of the wagons used in the filming can be found around the museum, still bearing the livery of the fictional Zorin Industries. The one below has been stored inside and is part of a small display which celebrates the museum's role in the film.

STILL the biggest loss in Lakers history, just not by 50.
Kenny and Chuck are Clowning!!!.
anyone else kinda upset we didn't win by 50 lol
Woohoo, awesome win. Was hoping for 50 but 48 is close enough, lol.
Who cares how much they beat a team by. They got the win and are closer to the Rockets for the 3rd seed far more important.
We wanted that 50 spot damn it!
I want that big 50!
it seems that people just hate the Lakers and are not really Clipper fans
Who the heck made the schedule??
Home and Home for Lakers with Thunder then San AN???? hope they help us.
Even if the Lakers suck I still love beating them.
Those two things are not mutually exclusive.
Revenge is sweet
We need to improve in our defense!
How are we suppose to beat teams by 50 if don't play Defense!
Hey guys, just popping in to say that was the most beautiful thing I've ever seen. It was glorious.
I'm really glad to have seen Danny and Glen get some playing time tonight and contribute to this magnificent blowout of the Lakers. Solid pick up, these two.So exciting they at part of the Clippers!
You knew it was a good night when Granger dunks for his first bucket as a Clipper!!
Great beat down now we need Lakers to go on a 5 game streak.
Was 142 points the most scored in a game this season?
Yep! Nice
LOL Baron Davis
I caught the end of that Baron Davis & Doc Rivers discussion... haha!
lmao at Baron and Doc segment. I want Baron vs Dudley foot race I got ten bucks on Baron.
I'm glad Baron Davis still have some kind of relationship with Clips!
This was by FAR Jared Dudley's most productive game of the season. Keep it up JD.
I vote Baron for spot 15!
How F&^king sweet.
Exactly 14 years ago, Shaq destroyed the Clippers with 61 points and 23 rebounds. Lakers won 123-103 and were up big the entire game but Shaq still played 45 minutes!
Tonight was payback!
Blake is our guy - I know getting lebron would be a huge coup but it would feel somehow crummy
I don't see why LBJ would want to come here if he was only playing with CP. We don't need two PG type players. LBJ and Blake though....that would be insane.
DUDE!!! Barons titties were poking through his shirt.. you're probably right tho
What a win!!!! Just thought you guys might enjoy some of what I'm sure we are all getting a load of tonight. The "16 Championships" defense. Hahaha
Lebron and Blake = madness.... I would love to see Lebron come here. Can we afford him?
...and goodnight!
Understatement of the year they are so far deep into tank mode but man that was still a Sweet win!
Haha it really was! Thanks for riding the pine and helping us win!
The role reversal of both the Clips and the Lakers is just truly unbelievable. I never thought they would hand them their worst loss in franchise history. I always hoped the Clippers would emerge in front of the Lakers, but at the same time, I never expected this to happen. Jack Nicholson's face was priceless.
We need to improve our offense too, 142 is not good enough I want 200 points next time lol!
Ha ha! Jordan Allen, what a witty dude.
lol I would rep you for this, but already gave one out this morning.
Great win last night,PO caliber intensity showed by Clippers with Granger and Davis gets more playing time the bench depth of the team is really good.
Really,our team has become a bunch of slackers!
I'm so glad doc got this team playing up to there potential after 1st quarter !! Wow could you imagine if we had a healthy Crawford and reddick wow !! And what's with Barkley showing us the love , funny !! Great win, the fakers looked like a high school team !!
I like that Granger is looking good. These injuries to Crawford and Redick may well serve a purpose. Had these two not been out Granger and Bullock may have rode the pine like Jamison did
^ Need to change that sig, my man. That's old news. Here, I'll help you out... just copy and paste...
Lakers 94 Clippers 142
Barkley probably was happy because griffin had developed into a player he wanted him to be "a force in the post", he wanted blake griffin to command a double team which sucks in the defense thus opening up for other players to score, in order for the team to win a championship. His been saying this for almost 2 yrs.

GEORGETOWN � The death of a skier just beyond the boundaries of Loveland Ski Area remains under investigation two weeks after his body was discovered.
The Denver Post Sunday first reported the death of the 33-year-old skier. Details, including the man�s hometown or identity were not released by the ski area or Clear Creek County Coroner Don Allan. Allan told The Associated Press that the death remains under investigation.
Loveland spokesman John Sellers says the ski patrol was notified of the missing skier March 17 and patrollers found the man just outside the ski area�s boundaries near an expert run called The Face.
Sellers says Loveland does not issue news releases when there�s a death at or near the ski area along the Continental Divide near Interstate 70.

An Aiken teenager cited for possession of marijuana reportedly ate a bag of leafy green substance after being pulled over by police, according to the Aiken Department of Public Safety.
Richard Daniel Lunn, 17, of Sweetbay Drive, was cited for simple possession of marijuana, use of another's driver's license and disregarding a stop sign, according to a report.
He was released to the custody of his father.
A Public Safety officer was on patrol in Woodside Plantation about 4:30 p.m. on Saturday when he saw the driver of a gray BMW disregard a stop sign on Plantation Drive, according to a report.
The officer stopped the vehicle and found Lunn to be the driver with an 18-year-old male passenger.
Lunn was "noticeably shaking" when the officer made contact with them, according to the report.
The officer could smell a strong odor of marijuana in the car and noticed marijuana pieces in Lunn's lap and on his shirt.
The officer called for backup and told Lunn "that the marijuana was in plain view and the smell was obvious."
"Lunn began brushing the marijuana from his lap and saying he didn't see anything," the report stated.
Lunn was mirandized and evoked his right to remain silent, according to the report.
His passenger told officers that, when Lunn noticed the police, "he reached in his pocket, stating he had dope, and retrieving a baggie of it, which he tore open and started eating."
Officers found marijuana residue and a rolling paper cover inside the car, according to the report.
Lunn reportedly tried to eat all of the leafy substance in the bag but couldn't and gave the rest to his passenger, who put it away in haste.
The report did not indicate any charges filed against the 18-year-old passenger.
While searching Lunn, officers found an identification card belonging to a 24-year-old man who looked like him, according to the report.

Building on our multi-year partnership, Caesars is working with NPT and Terrapass to create a Buddy Bison carbon reduction school contest that will engage elementary school students and their employees in fun creative ways to: 1) learn about greenhouse gases and assess their consumption in energy and waste; 2) set goals for students to reduce carbon emissions, waste and energy; 3) create easy action steps to reduce energy and waste consumption; 4) quantify results so actions equal results; and 5) earn park scholarships for their schools!
This unique program begins this upcoming school year and all schools participating in the program will win park scholarships of differing amounts depending on the results of their carbon reduction contest "report card". Five elementary schools in the following Caesars communities will participate: Atlantic City, New Orleans, North Kansas City, Council Bluffs and Las Vegas. The respective Caesars properties will launch the program in each school and will also participate by reducing their waste and energy at their work sites.
"We are very pleased to continue our partnership with National Park Trust through the support of the Buddy Bison Carbon Reduction Contest," said Gwen Migita, Vice President Sustainability & Corporate Citizenship, Caesars Entertainment Corporation. "The contest offers an engaging way to educate and empower elementary school students and our employees to reduce energy and waste consumption, which is a core focus of our corporate citizenship efforts."
Each week the schools will take on a new challenge related to reducing their carbon footprint. Parents and caregivers will likely benefit from this contest as well, in the form of lower utility costs since the students will have the opportunity to earn extra contest points if they transfer their energy and waste saving practices to their homes. Who will participate and win this contest? Stay tuned for more details this fall and the results in early 2015. And thank you to the Caesars Foundation for our continued partnership to cultivate environmental stewards!

A 26-year-old Immokalee man has been arrested after calling 911 10 times seeking a ride to Mexico or other places, authorities said.
The Naples Daily News reported Alvaro Francisco was arrested Sunday after the repeated calls to 911. He faces a misdemeanor charge of misusing the 911 system.

The Collier County Sheriff's Office said Francisco began making calls at 8:16 p.m. Saturday and continued until 12:45 a.m. Sunday. Each time he asked for either a ride to Mexico or the homes of his boss and friends.
Dispatchers told Francisco that his calls were not an emergency and that he should not call 911 for such requests.
The responding deputy says Francisco smelled of alcohol when he was arrested.

On election night, the Palmetto State had its problems for sure.
Residents of Aiken County have surely read and heard about the wait times, the four-day process to count write-ins to determine the winner of the Aiken County treasurer's race and the wrong ballots passed out at a precinct in North Augusta.
Residents who've kept up with state news know Richland County had it a bit worse. The county reported wait times of more than four hours, recounts and a vote count that took until this past Wednesday to complete.
But it could have been worse.
In Aiken, legislators and election officials are still sifting through the rubble left behind by a tumultuous Election Day that drew numerous complaints from across the county.
"I think we, as a delegation, will do whatever it takes to fix the issues, and I think the county will do whatever it can to help," S.C. Rep. Roland Smith, R-Warrenville, said.
Smith, who is the chairman of the delegation office that oversees regulations and elections, told Aiken Standard last week that he received numerous complaints ranging from long lines due to a lack of machines to some poll managers not being trained properly on the laptop computers they used at polling centers to determine which ballot to hand to voters.
Executive Director of Aiken County Registrations and Elections Cynthia Holland agreed that there were not enough machines but denied last week that poll managers weren't trained properly, saying, "That's not true. This is the first year we had laptops, and I trained them on that."
Holland withstood a grilling from the delegation last Monday over the Election Day issues, but the delegation did not make a decision on what to do going forward.
An hour away in Richland County, the voting fiasco drew national attention. State officials said that Richland was the only county in the state that had reported "serious" problems.
Long wait lines and broken machines on Election Day led to some voters not being able to even cast their ballots until after the 7 p.m. deadline. Richland's election office had enough machines – one per every 305 voters – well more than the law's minimum of 1 per 250, but more than 100 were left unused at the election office on Election Day.
The S.C. Supreme Court eventually had to step in and require law enforcement to return voting machines and ballots to the election's office so the final numbers could be submitted by noon Nov. 9.
Even after that and the announcement on Nov. 4 that the final numbers were in, it was reported Nov. 15 by The State that nearly 200 more ballots were found in bags at the Richland County election's office.
South Carolina has had its problems before.
In the 2008 Republican presidential primary in Horry County, for example, touch-screen voting machines in 80 percent of the precincts temporarily failed. When precincts ran out of paper ballots, voters could not cast ballots in their home precincts.
According to the website countingvotes.org, a report published by Rutgers University, Common Cause and the Verified Voting Foundation states that South Carolina's voting procedures rank as "Needs Improvement," just above the worst grade given out, which is "Inadequate."
The report ranked South Carolina as one of the five least-prepared states, "to catch voting system problems and to protect voters from disenfranchisement due to equipment failures."
In Broward County, Fla., a place familiar with voting troubles, long lines and a four-day delay to determine the presidency plagued the Gold Coast residents. Broward was the last of Florida's 67 counties to finish counting ballots, a week to the day after the election.
In Florida, advocacy groups, such as the NAACP, Women Voters and AARP, have called on Gov. Rick Scott to appoint a task force to get to the bottom of the election problems that included lines lasting six hours and a reduction in early-voting days that may also have led to the problem.
President Barack Obama was officially declared the winner of Florida's 29 electoral votes four days after the election was over. The state just barely avoided having to do yet another recount, similar to the 2000 election.
That same year, a task force was created to figure out and alleviate the problems of election day.
This year, across the country in King County, Wash., voting day problems were even worse. The state's largest county was the hub of voting troubles in the nation's last state to send in final numbers from Election Day.
Two days after the election, 30 states and the District of Columbia had counted virtually 100 percent of their ballots. Twelve states were about 99 percent finished, and the rest were at least 95 percent done with counting votes.
Washington was at 76 percent.
Three major contests hung in the balance in King County as the days passed: for governor, secretary of state and a ballot measure on whether to allow charter schools. Two days after Election Day, 250,000 of roughly a million ballots cast were yet to be counted.
Washington is a vote-by-mail state, but unlike Oregon, which has the same system and had counted 95 percent of votes two days after the election, Washington only asks that votes be postmarked by Election Day.
In Oregon, votes have to be received by Election Day.
Add to that broken ballot-counting machines and workers at the election's office going home at 8:30 p.m. or earlier, and the Northwestern state had a ways to go.
"I think people were not really prepared for the tasks that laid ahead of them or the number of people that turned out to vote," Smith said of the voting problems that plagued places all over the nation.
Information from the Associated Press was used in this story.

In a perfect example of how easily distracted I am my thoughts these last couple of days have shifted from the American Civil War back to the English countryside.
I can see how my train of thought took me there. I was looking at the two Sussex families that emigrated to the US (the ALLCORNs and EADEs) convincing myself that now was not the time to carry on researching them. The thing that really annoys me is that there are a couple of family members who married and I don't have their spouse's full names.
This makes my database look rather untidy and it is this aspect that annoys me. Looking at the list of other incomplete names I stopped on Sarah, the wife of James NEWNHAM of West Grinstead, Sussex (one of my 5x great-grandparents).
Before I knew it I was starting to assess the situation with James NEWNHAM and wondering whether I already had the information to hand that would enable me to identify his wife's full name. I have transcriptions of the parish registers for West Grinstead (from the Parish Register Transcription Society) and also monumental inscriptions (from the Sussex Family History Group) as well as sundry other sources.
The evidence suggests that she was Sarah HOLLAND who married James NEWNUM in the neighbouring parish of Nuthurst, Sussex in 1787, further to this it appears that she was probably from the neighbouring parish of Shipley, Sussex. They appear to have had quite a large family and Sarah probably died in 1825 aged 59 whereas James died in 1851 aged 87.
In short there looks like there is quite a wealth of information waiting for me to explore further. Before I do too much exploring however I need to investigate my connection to James NEWNHAM and make sure that he is my 5x great-grandfather, I seem to remember that the evidence wasn't 100% satisfactory, so I need to be sure before I go any further.
However I realise this is just another way of me avoiding working on the NICHOLLS and DRAPPER families in Kent. It is very easy for me to find other things to do rather than face having to do research in Kent, so I am going to try to ignore James and Sarah and get back to Kent again.

Chances are that you or someone you know has been chained to the bed recently with fever, fatigue, sore throat and muscle aches.
That�s because the current flu season is turning out to be a bad one, affecting more people than usual, starting earlier and covering a broader geographical area. Government health experts say 18 children, younger than 18, have died because of the seasonal flu and 2,257 people had been hospitalized with flu symptoms through the end of 2012.
In La Plata and Archuleta counties there has been one case of flu requiring hospitalization, Bari Wagner, an epidemiologist at the San Juan Basin Health Department, said Tuesday.
Cases requiring a hospital stay are the only ones reported to her, Wagner said.
�There is flu in the community, however,� Wagner said.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment has reported 373 cases statewide, Wagner said.
�The sense that everybody has is that there�s been an extremely rapid increase in influenza,� says Trish Perl, co-leader of a flu study encompassing about 100 clinics in several cities. She is also an epidemiologist for the Johns Hopkins Health System in Baltimore. �It has been relatively widespread across the United States.�
The public should be concerned, says Gregory Poland, professor of medicine and infectious disease at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
�A decade ago, when we had widespread circulation (of the seasonal flu), we had 70,000 deaths in the U.S.,� says Poland, who directs Mayo�s Vaccine Research Group.
For the fourth week in a row, the proportion of people seeing health-care providers for flulike illness is above the national baseline, and jumped from 2.8 percent to 5.6 percent in that time, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta. Last season�s proportion peaked at 2.2 percent, the CDC reports.
Twenty-nine states plus New York City are now reporting high flulike activity, up from 16 states the week before, the CDC says. Forty-one states reported in the last week of December that flulike activity was widespread geographically, with that number up from 31 states the week before, according to the CDC.
During the last week of 2012, 7 percent of all deaths reported in 122 U.S. cities were attributable to pneumonia and the flu, according to the CDC. That figure is just below the epidemic threshold of 7.1 percent for the last week of the year.
The medical industry is concerned because this is the earliest flu season the U.S. has seen in the last 10 to 12 years, says Michael Jhung, an epidemiologist and influenza expert at the CDC.
Flu season usually peaks in January and February, according to the Flu.gov website maintained by the Department of Health and Human Services.
The predominant type of flu that is circulating is H3N2 Influenza A virus, which is making up 76 percent of the viruses reported, according to the CDC.
The outbreak has strongly affected the East and the South and is spreading westward, Poland says.
Perl reports from her studies that initially health professionals were seeing a lot of Influenza B, but now they are seeing mostly A as well as other respiratory illnesses, including respiratory syncytial virus or RSV.
H3N2 flu seasons tend to be more severe, Poland of the Mayo Clinic says.
On the ground, the outbreak has sent more people to doctors and hospitals with flu symptoms.
For instance, in Minnesota, 600 people were hospitalized because of the flu, and four people died, Poland says. Among those who died was an otherwise healthy 17-year-old boy who was visiting the Twin Cities area from Texas, according to Poland.
The professor said he�s hearing similar stories from colleagues around the country of people who are generally healthy being hit hard.
In Indiana, seven deaths have been associated with influenza, two in people younger than 18.
�It�s not too late to get vaccinated, and the CDC encourages everyone who hasn�t been to do so soon,� Jhung says.
Enough vaccine has been produced and distributed so that everyone who wants a shot should be able to get one. He urges, though, that if people run into delays because of a run on vaccine, not to be discouraged.

The awaited debut of the revolutionary Google Glass, sparks hilarious prediction of how men will use them on dates.
Google Glass is worn like glasses and allows you to experience the internet and social media through a single lens and voice recognition.
For example, it will allow you take a picture of what you're looking at simply by saying "take a picture" and subsequently email or Facebook it with corresponding vocal commands.
But what about dating?
This viral YouTube spoof, shows how men may end up using Google Glass to their advantage.
No need to actually know anything about your date, simply Google her interests while you're engaged in conversation already.
Sounds fun right? Watch the full date and find out if this plan is a good idea.

The Underground was put to the test like never before during the 2012 Summer Games, and it's getting rave reviews from fans who depended on it.
There were a lot of fears about how the Underground was going to handle all of the Olympic tourists.
It was really going to be stressed by the numbers of people who would be riding it during the Summer Games.
The reality is that things have actually gone surprisingly well. It's tight at times, and there are usually a lot of people on board, but the trains have handled the extra people pretty well.
There have been a couple trains that have broken down, but overall the Tube has worked very reliably as Olympic transportation.
For American tourists not used to doing the public transportation thing, it has actually been a lot of fun.
"Actually, the way I see it, it's a free tour of the city of parts you're not going to see. It went smoothly, and all of the volunteers, they direct you. It's great," said American tourist Mike Chisari.
The Underground prepared for the Games by adding extra trains. It also ran constant announcements about the status of the trains.

I have decided that I would like to be able to use Family Historian to produce lists of individuals based on certain criteria, such as a list of all those men who might have served during the First World War.
To be able to produce these queries I need to have an idea of the lifespan for each individual and for this I need to have a birth/baptism event and a death/burial event for each individual.
I have been taking a look at how much work would be needed in making sure that I know where and when everyone was born. It looks like I have quite a bit of work to do.
Out of a total of 1797 individuals currently in my database there are 769 people (42.8%) without birth dates and 845 people (47.0%) without a place of birth. The discrepancy between the two is not really surprising, there are many occasions where there is not clear evidence where a person was born, even if I have a date of birth.
The situation with baptism events is not quite so good, there are 958 people (53.3%) in my database without baptism dates and places.
The fact that the number of dates and places match is consistent with the fact that all the baptism records are all coming from the same source (parish registers) so they should match, however the birth records come from a variety of sources, some providing only dates and other dates and places.
The good news is that there is only a partial overlap between the births and baptisms which means that there are only 379 people (21.1%) without a date for either their birth or baptism.
I am not sure yet where I shall focus my attention, the 379 people without a birth or baptism date is the obvious place but it might be better to tidy up the existing data first before adding any new data.
