text: I understand the method for finding where along the x-axis V=0, but I'm not sure why it lies to both the left and right of the negative charge. Further, I'd like to confirm that in calculating V, it's important to keep track of the charge (negative or positive) as opposed to doing so while calculating E, where the vector is based on the diagram (ideally) and attractive/repulsive forces, and not the charges in calculation. Thanks!

text: Just installed the plugin and started playing around with it, mostly looking to use it for back-end organization and management of media files. I tried the quick edit feature on a couple media items and found that all the fields were blank in the quick edit area. Rather than displaying their current values all of the fields were just empty (name, parent, categories, etc). It seems that these fields should show their current values so that you can't click update and effectively erase the values you were not interested in editing. Am I missing something in the settings or is this a bug?

This just started happening in the last few days. The plugin seems to be removing the first and last paragraph from the post when viewing from the front end (but they're still there in the backend). It is this plugin, because I've disabled them all with the exception of Simple Tags. Once I turn it off, the post shows fine. When I turn it back on, the first paragraph and the last paragraph stop showing.
Again, this is just on the front-end. On the back in the post editor it shows the correct content.

Danger, adventure and history. But romance is silly.
Feb. 3 2004
This review is from:
Under Fire (Widescreen) (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
This 1983 film is about journalists in war-torn Nicaragua where President Somoza is losing his power to Sandinista guerillas. Nick Nolte, Joanna Cassidy and Gene Hackman are cast as the journalists. They all love the adventure of their assignments and view the wars as way to establish esteem by having a story on the cover of Time magazine. They're also involved in a love triangle. In the meantime there is the real tragedy of the war going on around them. Nick Nolte has to make some hard choices about his integrity and it made me think about what I might do in the same situation. Ed Harris is cast as an American mercenary and made me aware that such people really do exist.
There's danger and adventure and history here - all rolled up into one film. I just wish they left out the silly romance that slowed down the action. I was much more interested in the politics which seemed an over-simplified "good guys versus bad guys" story. All the actors did a competent job with the exception of Joanna Cassidy who tried hard but just wasn't believable. The cinematography was great though and really gave me a feeling of the place they were in. Some of the opening scenes were set in Africa, and these, too, were excellent.
I generally liked this film but stop short of giving it a high recommendation. I just couldn't care about the characters or the particular war in progress. Good but not great.

Story that stirred my heartstrings without being maudlin
Feb. 3 2004
This review is from:
Seabiscuit (Widescreen) (Sous-titres fran�ais) (DVD)
Once and a while a film comes along that has it all - great story, fine acting, and the kind of directing that knows exactly how to stir my heartstrings without being maudlin. I'm also impressed that this is a true story, based on the best selling book by Laura Hillenbrand.
The setting is depression-era America and the film includes all those little details that make that dark period of time come alive. The people needed a hero. And it came to them in the form of a racehorse with all the odds against him. Seabiscuit was too small and not well trained when Charles Howard, a self-made rich man recovering from a personal tragedy, took him on. Jeff Bridges is cast in this role and keeps his performance controlled and understated. Chris Cooper is outstanding in the role of Tom Smith, the trainer who takes care of horses that others would have discarded. "You don't throw away a whole life just 'cause he's banged up a little," is one of his key lines. And it resonates throughout the entire film. Tobey Maguire is wonderful as the jockey, Red Polard. He also fights all odds to get in the game and stay there. Each one of these men is damaged in his own way, just like Seabiscuit. But together they create a champion.
I loved the film and I also loved the extras on the DVD. I enjoyed seeing the writer and director describe their many challenges. I was fascinated as to how they created the close-ups during the exciting races. And I was particularly interested in the old newsreel footage.
Don't miss this DVD. There's something in it for everyone. It's an inspiration for all and the feel-good feeling lasts a long time. Seabiscuit gets one of my highest recommendations. Don't miss it!

El Mariachi (Special Edition) (Bilingual) [Import]

Shoestring budget, lots of action, weak story.
Feb. 3 2004
This review is from:
El Mariachi (Special Edition) (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
This 1992 film is best known for its cost of production, which was a mere $7,000. The feature on the DVD was fascinating as the writer-director, Robert Rodriguez, showed us how he planned his shots and then expertly put them all together.
As far as the film itself goes, however, it was a rather slow and simple story of mistaken identity. A young mariachi, played by wide-eyed Carlos Gallardo, comes into a Mexican town carrying a guitar case. Little does he know that there is a gang war going on and that a bad guy is murdering the men of the local warlord. The young mariachi is mistaken for the bad guy and soon everyone is after this innocent young man. Along the way he meets a woman, Consuelo Gomez, who hides him in her room and their romance is inevitable.
Personally, I found the whole thing silly, especially since the film contained unnecessary dream sequences that did nothing to further the action. As a matter of fact, I found myself rooting for the bad guy. Good thing the film was only 81 minutes long.

Fast paced violent film with silly plot. I liked it.
Feb. 3 2004
This review is from:
Desperado (Special Edition) (Bilingual) [Import] (DVD)
Three years after Robert Rodriguez came along and showed the world how a mere $7,000 and a lot of creativity could make a successful film called El Mariachi, he made Desperado. This 1995 film has a bigger budget and more star quality, but the imprint of this director is certainly there. There's lots of violence - with guns, knives and explosives. And, like El Mariachi, the characterizations are secondary to the constant action. It's all very silly, and a little too long at 106 minutes, but I frankly couldn't take my eyes off the screen.
The film stars Antonio Bandaras as the good guy and Salma Hayek as his romantic interest. There's a cameo performance by Quentin Tarantino and Steve Buscemi has one of the best scenes in the film as he sets up the story at the beginning by his tall tale in a bar.
This is not a film to be taken seriously. It's targeted to teenage boys and the video game crowd.
So why am I watching this flick and enjoying myself so much? I guess it's cause I'm just a film buff and am fascinated by the techniques and constant action. And best of all I loved the extra feature, which shows how one of the scenes was filmed. It's not for everyone, of course. But I liked it.
Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy At Home And Abroad

Is democracy the best form of government for everyone?
Jan. 25 2004
This review is from:
Future of Freedom: Illiberal Democracy At Home And Abroad (Hardcover)
The author of this book is the editor of Newsweek International and a political analyst for ABC news. He has a thorough knowledge of history, which he couples with his basic premise -- that democracy, in itself, is not necessarily the best form of government. An excellent example of this is that Hitler was elected in a democratic election. The book, which is really a long essay, gives us an overview of history and brings us right up to today's political scene with its emphasis on populism. He wants us all to agree with his conclusion that democracy and good government are not necessarily the same thing.
I learned a lot from this book, especially about the way that various governments work, but I'll likely not retain much of it because every word was targeted only to advance his particular point of view. I agree up to a point. Our world seems to be run by popularity polls that change from day to day. And it seems obvious to me that when change in legislation is being debated, it is not in anyone's interest to have the public and media aware of every little detail. This is because it is mostly the paid lobbyists and special interest groups that follow these public debates, and their agendas are often in direct conflict with the public good.
Even though there were only 264 pages in this book, it was much too long. Everything he had to say could have been condensed into a few dozen pages. I suspect he's written articles about this topic and decided to expand them into a book. Frankly, I was bored most of the time and struggled to finish it. Therefore, I can only give it a mild recommendation.

The film brought to life the hard life of peasants
Jan. 25 2004
This review is from:
Inheritors (Widescreen) (Sous-titres fran�ais) [Import] (DVD)
This film is set in rural Austria and tells the story of what happens when a cruel farmer is murdered and it is discovered that he has bequeathed his farm to his workers. Of course there's conflict, lots of conflict. The other farmers in the area hate them and force them to pay high taxes to keep the land. There are conflicts between the seven peasants themselves who have never owned anything in their lives. And there's a mysterious woman with a secret who's going to be executed for murdering the farmer.
This film brought to light how hard the life of a peasant was. They worked seven days a week at backbreaking labor and were virtual slaves to the farmer. It was a horrible life compared to that of the farmers around them. In German, with English subtitles, the film is in color but it may as well been in black and white because the story is such a dark and dismal one. There's a bit of humor but it does nothing but underscore the horrible lives that these people led. Of course there's a ray of hope when they inherit the land, but they are naive to think that their culture would let them live in peace.
The tale is centered around a young man named Lukas who romances the three young women peasant women on the farm, most notably Emily, who is a fiery and outspoken advocate of their land ownership. There's also another young man, an older woman and a stable boy on the farm and each is well developed with distinctive personalities. There's a lot of violence and some very sad moments. I was depressed throughout. This has nothing to do with the quality of the film which dealt with some important themes.

Well paced very funny French farce with really good theme
Jan. 25 2004
This review is from:
Closet (Widescreen) (Version fran�aise) [Import] (DVD)
This 2001 French farce made me laugh out loud at times. That's because the theme is so funny. A mild-mannered nerd who's been working as an accountant in a condom company for 20 years is about to be fired. In order to keep his job, he takes the advice of a neighbor and lets everyone think he is gay. Here's were the theme of political correctness and its absurdities really take off. Daniel Auteuil plays the lead and he's great. The expressions on his face are worth a thousand words.
The plot thickens, of course, as Gerard Depardieu, a co-worker, macho rugby player, and very stupid fellow, lets himself be set up by some pals of his to befriend Daniel Auteuil. What follows are some really funny scenes. And then, Auteuil's female boss tries to seduce him. The acting and the timing of the jokes were perfect and the concept was wonderful.
It's a good thing it was only 85 minutes long, however, because with a film like this there is only one central joke and there are limits as to how far it can go. It might have been even better if it was cut to be even shorter. I do recommend this film, however. I loved the theme and the acting. And found it a pleasant evening of viewing pleasure.
Cotton Mary (Widescreen)

Preposterous story but fine acting and cinematography
Jan. 25 2004
This review is from:
Cotton Mary (Widescreen) (DVD)
This 1999 Merchant-Ivory production is set in India in 1954. A wealthy British woman gives birth to a small baby. As she is not able to breastfeed, the hospital nurse, named Cotton Mary, who proudly proclaims that she is half-English herself, makes the woman dependent upon her and moves into the rich woman's house as a servant. Cotton Mary never tells the mother how she is feeding the baby, but the viewer watches Cotton Mary take the baby in a boat each day to visit her own crippled sister who is a wet nurse and lives in a house which the British refer to as an "alms house", where disabled and aged elderly people live.
The plot is ridiculous. How can a mother show no interest at all in how her baby is being fed? Certainly a tiny baby needs to be fed more than once a day. And certainly, they had baby bottles and formula in 1954. The woman's husband, who is a philandering and uncaring journalist doesn't care either. And their older daughter who is about eight years old keeps the secret of these clandestine feedings.
There's more to the story of course. There are the snobby British colonials and the legacy of colonialism. There is the trusted Indian servant who is forced out of his job because of the lies of Cotton Mary. There is Cotton Mary's niece who has an affair with the husband. But mostly the film is about Cotton Mary herself and her descent into mental illness.
The story is awful but the film still had a few things going for it. One was the great acting job of Madhur Jeffrey cast as Cotton Mary. Another was the setting and excellent photography that transported me to a time and place in India that Merchant-Ivory does so well. But the story itself is preposterous and much too long and boring.

Historically significant, but it gave me the chills.
Jan. 19 2004
This review is from:
Triumph Of The Will (Special Edition) (DVD)
The Nazi regime is over now, but this 1934 film remains and is available on DVD. It was commissioned by Adolph Hitler himself and written and directed by Leni Riefenstal, then only 32 years old. It's a full two-hours and celebrates and glorifies the Third Reich. The film techniques are excellent, given the technology of the time. I understand she used 30 cameras, more than a hundred crewmembers and 61 hours of film. There are shots obviously taken from a helicopter with great views of the clouds. There are distant shots that take in more than 200,000 people. And close-ups that show the love and adoration that the populace felt for Hitler, who had just become the dictator the year before. I
Mostly, there are crowd scenes and speeches by Hitler himself as well as Goebbels, Goring, Hess, Himmler and other villains of the Nazi era which was then a rising political movement. It was several years before the war machine was fully in place as the Nazis didn't march into Poland until 1939. So, at the time the film was made, there was nothing but joy, especially since just a few years prior to that Germany was immersed in a depression that was so bad that people were paid twice a day because the value of money changed from hour to hour that the price of a loaf of bread could double from morning to afternoon.
It's an eerie feeling to sit in the comfort of my rocking chair and travel seven decades back in time. The young people in the Hitler Youth movement reminded me of boy scouts as I watched them horse around and splash water on each other like any other high-spirited teenagers. The small children are all smiling as their parents hold them up to catch a glimpse of Hitler. And the adults themselves seems to be in an ecstatic trance as they raise their arms in a "Heil Hitler" salute. I couldn't help but think if any of them are still alive, and how deceived they must be about the early promise of their youth, and how much devastation it caused for everyone.
Then there were the speeches, always with the utmost theatrical fervor. I read the subtitles carefully. What was Hitler and the others really saying? Yes, they spoke of glory. But they also spoke of themselves as being the party of peace and being told by God that this was their destiny. Surprisingly too, they all seemed to believe it. I had also expected to see more anti-Semitism in their speeches. Jews were never mentioned and although there was some reference to racial purity, it didn't seem to be the leading issue in 1934.
Basically, the film was one big show of pageantry and pep rally for what would come later. Looking back on in in 2003, it gives me the chills.
For students of history, this is an important film. Others will be horrified. And many will be bored as there are no actors and no plot except to glorify their leader.
Assassination Tango [Import]

Great dancing, storyline and acting, but too slow paced.
Jan. 19 2004
This review is from:
Assassination Tango [Import] (DVD)
This 2002 film was written and directed by Robert Duvall He also stars in it and gives a really fine performance as an aging hit man who is sent to Argentina to assassinate a general. The plot is more complex than that though. Duvall's character is a complex man. His middle-aged girlfriend back home has a 10-year-old daughter he adores and there are several domestic scenes which show this love. He also loves to dance and is fascinated with the tango. And so, when he is in Argentina and the assassination is delayed several weeks, he meets Luciana Pedraza, a tango dancer at least 40 years his junior. He asks her for lessons and is swept into the world of the tango. We see a lot of dancing and sense the discipline and timing that this special art form requires. He's now definitely in a romantic relationship. But whether it's with this young Argentine woman or the tango itself is difficult to differentiate. There is also the sense of danger as the actual assassination draws near. This is not going to be a simple job and we soon sense a double cross going on.
This is not a simple film. Robert Duvall's role is too complicated for that. It requires great subtlety in his acting to hint at all his inner conflicts. It is clear he is suppressing emotion and we feel his inner tension throughout. And the screenplay's references to the fact that he is aging makes it seem actually quite plausible that this 72-year-old assassin will be able to carry out his job.
I tend to like fast-paced plots and so I found Assassination Tango a little too slow for my taste. And there were several loose ends in the resolution of relationships. But I did enjoy the complexity of the story which exists on many levels. And, most of all, I loved the dancing.

: Roxas Takahashi
: Male
: Roxas is a very nice & friendly kid. He is always quick to think, but takes things to seriously, making it that he has no sense of humor. He is usually the brains of a problem, & can always find a way past it. He may not look like it, but he is a great genius. It's easy for him to catch on on something the others don't know, making him similar to a secret diary. One thing about him though is that he falls for girls easily, & commits to making that girl his. He isn't afraid to show his feelings, plus adding he is never embarressed. Although he won't journey with that girl if his adventure leads to somewhere else.
Despite all this, Roxas's feelings can be hurt easily if he is made fun of. If in a sad state, he will hide somewhere where no one could find him to be left alone. It takes little time to recover however. When in a battle, his feeling are locked & nothing can hurt his feelings. He is very loud when battling, but still concerns for his Pokemon's safety. Yet he never will hate a person, he will ignore someone who has done something he loathes.
: Roxas's hair color is of emerald, his back hair reaching down his neck. His hair from front is short but gets a bit longer as it goes back. Technically it's smooth. He has sky blue eyes & light tan skin. Roxas wears a black shirt. The short sleeves are white, the main color for his shirt is black of course, & a white stripe on the front that stretches from left to right in a V shape.
Roxas has a belt equipped with slots to hold his Pokeballs. He wears silver-colored pants that only have back pockets. Lastly he wears white sneakers for fun. Oh, & he keeps reading glasses in backpack inside a small case just in case.
: Roxas's life was a very busy one, living in Castelia City. The school here was just right for him, so he was lucky. His parents were always busy & never had time to spend with him. His dad works in the economy, while his mother works at the cafe. Life never ends as you will always hear chatter around the city.
One time, Roxas got lost in the big city of Castelia City & a bunch of people were walking back n' forth everywhere. He was getting bumped everywhere not knowing where to go or what to do. He managed to get out & into the quiet street all the way to the left. This is where he found the Castelia Gym. He went inside & found a bunch of Gym trainers, & then someone came up to him. He introduced himself as the Bug-type Gym Leader, Burgh. Apparently Burgh heard from Roxas, who was telling what happened, that he got lost in the big city, getting bumped around without consent. Burgh felt bad for Roxas. Then he asked if he had a Pokemon. Roxas tilted his head asking this one question. "What's a Pokemon?" This surprised Burgh a bit, so he took one of his bug Pokemon, a Dwebble. Roxas was amazed by it, wanting to pet it, which he did. He found it so cute he wanted a Pokemon of his own. He was still young, Burgh said, so he had to wait a little longer.
Roxas was taken back home & his parents & they were grateful to Burgh. Throughout the years Roxas has been learning more about Pokemon & spent a lot more time with his parents since the incident. At 12 Roxas learned about all the towns & cities he didn't know, especially Nuvema Town. He wanted to become a Pokemon Trainer, & his parents knew it too. They let him have permission to go now, offering to take him to Nuvema. Roxas couldn't wait to start his new adventure!

You've finally got yourself a new template and are excited to show it off to the team but your counter isn't updating and you see how many people have been visiting your site! It's annoying...we know. Here's what you can do to ensure it tracks your visitors!
We believe the handy-dandy "pop-up blocker" is at fault for this. Simply disable this on your end and you'll find it's working again.
Another way to tell if this is the problem is if you can't see your "pop up announcement" displaying and you've enabled it in your "PLUS/preference" folder.
While we are in the process of resolving this for you, here is a tip to workaround it in the mean time. It's easy and only takes a few clicks of the mouse.
From one of our new, customizable templates,
1) Go to the Customize section within your Site Appearance folder
2) Select the "Content" tab at the top of the page
3) Select any color for the Title Color other than white or black. This also changes your sponsor and location title colors to the selected color but it forces the calendar upcoming/past games and events on home page text back to white so that it remains viewable.
4) Save your changes!

Growing Number of Scientists Convert to Skeptics After Reviewing New Research
By EPW Blog (Posted by Marc Morano, chief aide to Sen. James Inhofe)Wednesday, May 16, 2007
Following the U.S. Senate's vote on a global warming measure, it is an opportune time to examine the recent and quite remarkable momentum shift taking place in climate science. Many former believers in catastrophic man-made global warming have recently reversed themselves and are now climate skeptics.

As a volunteer, you might:
Volunteers working with hospice clients and families complete in-depth training of about 14 hours. Those working with children's grief programs complete approximately 30 hours of training. Within these trainings, volunteers become familiar with hospice concepts, learn about physical and emotional needs of the dying and grieving, examine their own attitudes and feelings concerning death, and enhance their communication and listening skills.

For more information on current volunteer opportunities, call our office or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

Over the holidays, Hospice of Anchorage hosts a Remembrance Tree for mall patrons to purchase an ornament to honor a loved one. By dedicating an ornament on our Remembrance Tree, they not only honor the memory of their loved ones but also shine a caring light into the lives of the dying and the grieving families in our community.
All of the ornaments on the tree represents a unique history, a wealth of memories, a host of love and dreams shared.
This program begins on the Friday after Thanksgiving (Black Friday) until Christmas Eve. We hope by joining the team of Remembrance Tree volunteers, you are inspired by the individuals who share their personal stories of loss and love.

Beijing Frees Jailed Activist Xu Zhiyong
BEIJING -- Chinese authorities unexpectedly freed from jail a prominent legal activist on Sunday after an increasingly vocal campaign against his detention by China's growing ranks of citizen activists.
Xu Zhiyong, a co-founder of the now shuttered legal-research and advocacy group, the Open Constitution Initiative, was taken from his home by police before dawn on July 29 and formally arrested on accusations of tax evasion two weeks later. The Beijing tax bureau had ordered the legal group to pay 1.4 million yuan (about $200,000) in back taxes on contributions, including hefty fines, a decision Mr. Xu was trying to appeal before he was detained.
Human-rights groups and legal experts said the tax charges were a pretext for jailing Mr. Xu and shutting down the group, which represented families of children sickened during last year's melamine-tainted-milk scandal, and also advocated against illegal detentions.
Mr. Xu said he didn't know the reason for his sudden release, but the public campaign "definitely could have had an influence." Speaking by phone, he said Zhuang Lu, another OCI staffer detained around the same time, also was released Sunday. Still, Mr. Xu said he might yet face prosecution.
Chinese Internet censors blocked Mr. Xu's name from search engines in mainland China. But activists managed to launch a campaign, largely online, to focus attention on the case.
The movement shows an "increasing awareness of the important role of law in society," says Li Fangping, one of Mr. Xu's lawyers.
After the OCI's Web site was shut down, other members of the group, a loose association of lawyers, academics and volunteers, relaunched the site on a server outside mainland China. Through Aug. 13, its online campaign had raised almost 850,000 yuan from mainland citizens to help pay the fines.
Another coalition, including bloggers and college students, started an offshore Web site dedicated to Mr. Xu's defense, WeZhiyong.org. Slogans on the site read, "Anyone can be Xu Zhiyong" and "tens of thousands of Zhiyongs are not in jail, but they are on the road to jail."
Joshua Rosenzweig, a senior researcher with the U.S.-based human-rights group Duihua Foundation, said Mr. Xu's release on bail indicated authorities were treating him differently from political dissidents, who often are charged with more serious crimes of subversion. The rare use of bail shows that the authorities "might be wavering" over Mr. Xu's case, he said.
The campaign for Mr. Xu attracted wide support. "Many people who seldom talk about politics have come out" in support of Mr. Xu, says Jean Yim, a Ph.D. student in the sociology department at the University of Hong Kong. Ms. Yim and a friend organized a talk on Mr. Xu's case in Hong Kong on Saturday, which they made available to Internet users in mainland China via Twitter, and through video and audio files.
One computer programmer, who normally sells tech-geek-themed T-shirts on China's largest online shopping platform, Taobao.com, said he was moved by the unfair treatment of Mr. Xu to create an iron-on badge to sell to supporters, with all proceeds going toward Mr. Xu's legal defense. The programmer, who declined to be identified, said he had sold about 200 badges reading "Xu Zhiyong, True Man" before his Taobao account was suspended on Aug. 20 for selling prohibited items.
Wen Yunchao, a blogger from Guangzhou, urged people to send postcards to Mr. Xu's detention center calling for his release. Last month, Mr. Wen organized a similar postcard campaign on behalf of a fellow blogger detained by police in eastern China. The blogger was released after two weeks, though Mr. Wen says it is difficult to say whether the postcards had any direct impact on the outcome.
Meanwhile, U.S. President Barack Obama will visit China in November, according to the Associated Press. Ambassador Jon Huntsman gave no specific dates, but Mr. Obama is scheduled to attend the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Singapore on Nov. 14-15.

Is there a way to shrink images to 'regular internet' size?
I mean if users upload pictures straight from the camera, this is very possible, sizes upto 4000x3000px, can these be resized automatically to say 1024x860 or something similar?
I have WP users I can want to explain they should fix this on their pc before they start uploading. (if they would listen anyway, they say this works on all modern website comparing this to flickr, facebook, etc)
Or is there a plugin? Or a way to fix it? Can someone point me in the right direction? Would be awesome :)

In the free Pagelines theme, when I go to make a post, I can't find the menu to create categories or tags.
The categories and tags I created in the former theme still exist, however, I can't find any way at all to change them, add/change new posts, or on existing posts.
This is really baffling me. Thanks so much for your help.

AbstractSentien Biotechnologies is developing cellular devices for the treatment of acute organ failure, including polytrauma-induced multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Our flagship product, the Sentinel, is a dialyzer with mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) seeded in the extracapillary space, designed to connect to the bloodstream of patients and provide anti-inflammatory, cytoprotective and regenerative support via secreted factors from the MSCs. We propose here, in this Phase I and Phase I Option plan, to begin testing of the Sentinel in a polytrauma model in swine. For the Phase I period, we propose to work in conjunction with several key consultants to compose an IACUC-approved protocol for administration of our therapy to swine subjected to polytrauma and shock. This protocol will be based on a previously developed model of polytrauma that was devised by our collaborators, and it is with their help that we also plan to analyze the cytokine and myoglobin profile of banked samples from their previous work during the Phase I Option period. By accomplishing these two important tasks, we anticipate being well poised to evaluate the applicability of the porcine model, and assess our device treatment for polytrauma in swine during follow-on Phases of SBIR support.

Re: Request for upcoming 2.6.30
on: June 27, 2009, 12:05:37 AM
I had a lot of trouble with xfs with 2.6.30. I had to migrate everything from xfs to ext3. So I recommend those that use xfs file system not to upgrade to 2.6.30 or plan for migrating the file system.

Re: [SOLVED] pvrusb2 driver for SheevaPlug kernel (MythTV)
on: June 27, 2009, 12:03:16 AM
I got both the MPEG2 and finally the DVB to work now with MythTV. I am now totally happy recording QAM TV signals from cable. The trick to get DVB to work is to change the file under:
//#if (DVB_API_VERSION != 3)
#if (DVB_API_VERSION != 3 && DVB_API_VERSION != 5)
and the line
//#if (DVB_API_VERSION >= 3 && DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR >= 1)
#if ((DVB_API_VERSION >= 3 && DVB_API_VERSION_MINOR >= 1) || (DVB_API_VERSION > 3))
I found the solution while googling. The 950Q has some problem with the arm port. I did not have time to get it fix since I want a DVR urgently. I am happy that the plugcomputer solution worked out before my vacation. Now I can record video and watch it when I get back. This is all thanks to your work on this subject.

I gave up on the HVR 950Q and got the 1950 you did. I do not see MPEG2 card as you did. I only see MJPEG or MPEG4. Which one is the QAM installed? I am using analong only for now.

I am trying to do the same thing with HVR-950Q USB card. Where exactly do you place the firmware to? I put it under /lib/firmware/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw and also in /lib/firmware/2.6.30/dvb-fe-xc5000-1.1.fw
Perhaps it is just simply does not work. I need some advice in this.

Try to neutralize the hal script by changing it to something harmless. Hald is really not a necessity. I would basically install everything by download the raw source myself and compile it on Sheeva plug.
Oh, I noticed ion the default kernel config file provided by Sheeva plug computer, the floating point emulation modules was not installed. So I added that in. I am not sure if that was intentional or not. In any case, it is worth to check it out.
I also had problem with key generator in bind for that timed out forever. I suppose there might not be good enough random number generator built into the plug for certain tool to work. So watch out for those problems.

Re: USB NIC
on: April 27, 2009, 10:42:46 PM
I have the similar card with the same vendor. It was detected right off the bat after I recompiled the kernel and install the modules (note, I did not reinstall the kernel since I kept everything the same.)
The easiest way is copy the default config file from Marvell's documentation. Then export INSTALL_MOD_PATH to a local directory. make;make modules_install.

Re: Samba performance?
on: April 23, 2009, 12:01:04 AM
I bench mark the file transfer performance with ext3. There were no performance differences. I may need to tweak my kernel performance such as kernel priorities and add a few more io scheduler options. In any case, I too wish there was an eSATA output connection on the plug computer.
I forgot to mention this problem seem to only occur on Windows VISTA machine. When I connect the same Windows VISTA machine to a file server using x86 opteron processor, then transfer speed can go up to 40MB/sec to 50MB/sec. In any case, I still believe this may has something to do with how kernel treats the priorities of tasks. I will spend more time tweaking the kerenl and post my results on this fourm.

I haven't had any bad block errors. But I've started booting from SD and it is MUCH faster.
When you say you started to boot from SD, did you use the SDIO or use a USB -> SD converter? If using the SDIO, how did you get the uboot to recognize the location?

I moved 30 gig of stuff from my Windows box to a USB drive on the plug, via Samba. Constant 25 megabytes / second, with peaks near 30.
Maybe try networking the plug directly into your computer, see what happens? Take a router of the equation?
I believe the xfs was the wrong choice for the file system when using the drive under USB. What file system did you choose for your USB drive?

Re: Performance
on: April 16, 2009, 10:05:34 PM
The Sheeva plug computer seem to be quite slow with JAVA. An old java program I used ate up around 80% cpu time. I am not sure if that is the fault of JRE or something else. Otherwise, most things seem do reasonably well.

I get the same thing regarding the bad memory block. To tell you the truth, I rather boot directly from harddisk anyways. In any case, I have not seem this affecting me much. I supposed they may have blocked out the bad memory block when writing to it.

Re: Samba performance?
on: April 16, 2009, 10:00:06 PM
I do not have the long login problem. I recommend checking the following:
1. Check how your samba password is being read. Is it the right command sequence? the set of command you should check are:
passwd * in the smb.conf
2. I always have a usermap. I am not sure if that helps or not.
3. I always create smbpasswd over the unix one. To do so, just do smbpasswd -a username
It basically creates a copy of the samba password. It is great for keeping unix password different than the regular one.
In any case, I have an update on the performance.
1st. I changed from anticiptatory io scheduler to noop. That seem to work quite well until until something starts to slow me down. I believe the low bandwidth of USB is coming to hurt me.
2nd. I messed around with a few classic option of the smb.conf:
socket options = TCP_NODELAY IPTOS_LOWDELAY SO_KEEPALIVE SO_SNDBUF=16384 SO_RCVBUF=16384
In addition, I strongly believe I picked the wrong file system. The reason is that xfs may be too resource hungry for it to be efficient. Something simple like ext3 may have been a better choice. I won't be able to know for certain until I get chance to migrate. That will won't be for a long time.

Samba performance?
on: April 13, 2009, 10:08:30 PM
I have recently added a samba and USB harddisk to the Sheeva plug computer. When I test the file transfer, I max out around 18Mb/sec when I know the USB hub and USB harddisk could actually go up to 30MB/sec if I do a straight copy. I also notice that some of the VM option typically recommended by Samba is not there. Have any body have experience on optimizing samba performance with the Sheeva plug computer?

Re: anyone compile a custom kernel yet?
on: April 13, 2009, 10:00:33 PM
I was able to customized a kernel based off the default one they have. I tried it twice before getting it to work. For some reasons, there are a couple things you have to watch out:
1. First make sure the uImage size is same as the default. Otherwise, you will not have enough memory.
2. I deleted the kernel bootcmd and it caused some problem. I suspect that and the RAID driver are fairly important.

How I was greeted and the check-in process. Ample free parking. Excellent free Wi-Fi. Comfortable room with safe, flat screen tv, and king size bed.
Room was small and really only good for sleeping in. No view or comfortable place to sit.The restaurant was disappointing. I had dinner there as I had driven over 10 hours and just wanted to relax.
It had availability during a very busy weekend...
It is a typical Best Western...but Best Western's (in my experience) are not a 4-Star hotel...
Everything works fine in this hotel, which actually delivers whatever is promised. Their staff is extremely nice and helpful.
A good thing would be to install additional road signs on neighbouring roads, to show the way to the hotel from further away than currently.
Good location in proximity to Valbonne. Liked pool and garden area
The gourmet restaurant was excellent and very special although a bit too much "nouvelle cuisine" (meaning we were feeling hungry when we left the table..) the breakfast was impressive with a very large choice and the decoration and ambiance with the beautiful garden were very tastefull and well maintained. A lovely place to stay.
Our window door to the terrass did not close correctly, the airconditionning/heater needed reparation so the 1st night we felt really cold. The sheets of our bed were unchanged and during breakfast one of the waiters came in the restaurant to read a newspaper (!!) and another one was already cleaning all the tables and preparing them for the coming lunch, and making a lot of noise, while we were still in the middle of our breakfast (at 10.30!!) , not really the kind of behavior one would expect in a 4 star hotel! I guess it is what happens when you stay there during the low season, the staff is bored and less attentionate for these kind of details!And reparations are not done!
Staff excellent nothing too much trouble. Food very good. Excellent giant bed.
Breakfast very expensive at €20.
Beautiful entrance. Friendly staff - although way over priced and more like a good 4 star, not a 5 star even for Europe.
Very attentive staff and wonderful views.
Small toilet room in our room and no welcome pack other than two small cakes.This latter comment may sound abit nit picking but after a long day to reach the hotel we would have liked a little more thna we received.
The rooms are large, include a lounge and with a kitchen give flexibility to cook if you want to. The location, although not easy to find first time, is very convenient for traveling the area.
The apartment was very clean and spacious and thoughtfully equiped with basic provisions, and good information on the local area. Lovely swimming pool.
The hotel has a good location.
The price of the meals is an absurd! Almost 20€ for a burger!!!
Check-in desk staff was wonderful
Improve the food please for breakfast. lots of selection but presentation/taste of eggs/meats/crepes...not very appealing
Very quiet hotel, in the countryside inside the technological park of Sophia-Antipolis. Perfectly located for business in the area and with many nice restaurants in the villages around (in a radius of 10-20 km).
You absolutely need a car: public transportation is nearly non-existent.
Quick check in and check out
Internet Service was unavailable one night - unacceptable service
We had a very small room which was stated to be a junior suite, which was totally misleading!!!!
It's very quite and isolate
The rooms are very dark and the infrastructure not the best. The bathroom are very "simple"
Good service and breakfast
WiFi internet was not working all the time
Very friendly manager and manageress, room very clean and comfortable, superb views and great location in Grasse, which has lots of restaurants and shops and is well placed for visiting the beach and other interesting locations.
Needs brightening up a little.
Great staff. Very helpfull.
Strange smell in hallway outside the room.
Third visit to this hotel, very good value for money....better than many 4 star in Nice. Close to trams/trains and easy walking to Old Nice......
The hotel was modern, clean and tidy, and quiet. Great location just around corner from the Marina, and not much further from the Beach. Breakfast was great!
Absolutely no complaints!
Very enjoyable and met our needs. I think I left my hat there. White sun hat? Would be great to have it back, if possible. Dianne Colquhoun, 16 Earnock Avenue, Motherwell, Lanarkshire, Scotland ML1 3EX.
No complaints.
Very lovely beautiful hotel. nice terrase and 5 min nto the beach, the beach is elegant and relaxing.
Excellent service, modern design and very comfortable beds.
The design of the rooms looked impressive however was not always 100% practical. There is limited privacy whilst using the bathroom and it's quite noisy so difficult not to wake a friend / partner when using bathroom at night. Also a shelf positioned on top of sink makes it very hard to wash your face without hitting your head!

175.19 (XP x86)
175.19 (Vista x86)
175.19 (Vista x64)
These would be the most common drivers for most of us to use, namely with the 6, 7, 8 and 9 series of GeForce cards, for others, see below...
If you have a 200-series card (GTX260/280), use this for Vista x86:
Check the site or ask if you need ones for XP or Vista x64.
If you have older >6100, FX/MX etc cards, it is suggested you read the release notes before downloading any current version. If you have a Non-Windows OS, please check nvidia.com, of course.
For the adventurous, non-WHQL beta drivers(usually those packaged with new cards or leaked by beta testers). Recommended only if you are after a specifically mentioned bugfix, or are a driver junkie

I have an issue with the main page of my blog. When I click Older Entries, it just loads the main page again but adds /page/2/ on the end of the URL.
Older Entries works fine on the Archive and Search pages. The code for the older entries links is the same as the Archives and Search, and those work perfectly, so I know its not code, but must be something weird.
Anyone ever see this before? Can anyone help?

ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. - For the second consecutive year, the Aberdeen Chapter of the Association of the United States Army was awarded top regional honors, garnering 23 first-place awards, two runner-up awards and an honorable mention during the AUSA 2010 Annual Meeting and Exposition held at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center in Washington, D.C. Oct. 25 through 27.
Army leaders on hand during the event, which drew more than 30,000 attendees, included Secretary of the Army John McHugh; Gen. George W. Casey Jr., Army Chief of Staff; and Army Sgt. Maj. Kenneth O. Preston.
Aberdeen Proving Ground leaders in attendance included Maj. Gen. Nick Justice, commander of APG and the U.S. Army Research, Development and Engineering Command; RDECOM Command Sgt. Maj. Hector Marin; Col. Orlando W. Ortiz, APG Garrison and deputy installation commander; and Garrison Command Sgt. Maj. Rodney Rhoades.
Aberdeen AUSA chapter president, Mary Jane Jernigan accepted the awards on behalf of the chapter. She said that each chapter reports its activities to AUSA National which grades their efforts based on National criteria of the elements of a successful chapter. The highest grades receive annual awards for activities conducted from July 2009 to June 2010.
National views this system as a recipe for a good Chapter," Jernigan said. "If you follow their objectives and do not focus on one specific aspect, but be well rounded, then you succeed. You may not win any ribbons, but you succeed as an AUSA chapter.
"The Aberdeen AUSA would have done the exact same things because we are here for the Soldier and those who support the Soldier. We can never do enough, but we can try."
The AUSA Aberdeen Chapter received the following awards:
Best Overall Chapter 2010
