Show us your Chumby
Chumby is a wireless Linux-based stuffed plush box that can do pretty much anything you can hack it to do. That was the promise when we wrote about it in the September issue of Linux Journal. Now it's also reality: Chumby is shipping.
Ours hasn't arrived yet, but we know they're moving because Dave Winer has one. What's more, he says,
First impression: This is a breakthough device, kind of like the Cobalt Qube was in the mid-late 90s.
Then he details some hacker-oriented specifics (widgets, feeds, customizations...) and concludes,
I got it set up and running my widgets within an hour and it was fun! I love this device, it just reeks of potential. And they did a beautiful production job. It's easily as innovative as the iPhone, but it isn't getting as much attention. Take a look you won't be disappointed.
I take this as a special challenge to Linux Journal readers. Meaning that I'd like us (you and we) to follow this thing and see where it goes.
Or better yet, make it go there.
So, whaddaya got? Or whaddaya wanna do when you get one?
Bonus linkage: be sure to read the comments to Dave's post. Especially the one by Chumby founder and CEO Steve Tomlin, who addresses my own first feature request: streaming Internet radio, like I get with my (also Linux-based) Sonos, among a pile of other things. Key point: Chumby is intentionally unfinished and open. Some additions are up to the Chumby folks. The rest are up to the rest of us.
Doc Searls is Senior Editor of Linux Journal
Tuxdroid FTW!
Now I want a Chumby AND a TuxDroid. Thanks a lot, Steven.
Shawn Powers is a Linux Journal Associate Editor. You might find him on IRC, Twitter, or training IT pros at CBT Nuggets.
Me too...
I still want the Chumby most though. Hoping my husband got the not so subtle hints, as my birthday is coming up :)
I am very excited about the Chumby's potential. I hope it lives up.
How can it not though? It's awfully cute.

One of the best things about the UNIX environment (aside from being stable and efficient) is the vast array of software tools available to help you do your job. Traditionally, a UNIX tool does only one thing, but does that one thing very well. For example, grep is very easy to use and can search vast amounts of data quickly. The find tool can find a particular file or files based on all kinds of criteria. It's pretty easy to string these tools together to build even more powerful tools, such as a tool that finds all of the .log files in the /home directory and searches each one for a particular entry. This erector-set mentality allows UNIX system administrators to seem to always have the right tool for the job.
Cron traditionally has been considered another such a tool for job scheduling, but is it enough? This webinar considers that very question. The first part builds on a previous Geek Guide, Beyond Cron, and briefly describes how to know when it might be time to consider upgrading your job scheduling infrastructure. The second part presents an actual planning and implementation framework.

With all the industry talk about the benefits of Linux on Power and all the performance advantages offered by its open architecture, you may be considering a move in that direction. If you are thinking about analytics, big data and cloud computing, you would be right to evaluate Power. The idea of using commodity x86 hardware and replacing it every three years is an outdated cost model. It doesn't consider the total cost of ownership, and it doesn't consider the advantage of real processing power, high-availability and multithreading like a demon.
This ebook takes a look at some of the practical applications of the Linux on Power platform and ways you might bring all the performance power of this open architecture to bear for your organization. There are no smoke and mirrors here—just hard, cold, empirical evidence provided by independent sources. I also consider some innovative ways Linux on Power will be used in the future.Get the Guide

Vt. to receive $9 million for rail upgradesThe Associated Press | September 05,2013BURLINGTON - The U.S. Department of Transportation is going to spend nearly $9 million to help upgrade the railroad network in western Vermont.
Gov. Peter Shumlin and Federal Railroad Administration Administrator Joe Szabo are planning to discuss the issue Thursday afternoon in Burlington.
The Vermont grant is one of 52 projects in 37 states that were announced Thursday by U.S. Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx.
Vermont rail officials have worked for years to upgrade the railroad network from Bennington to Burlington to improve the connection with rail lines in New York.
Earlier this year the New England Central Railroad, most of which is in eastern Vermont, completed a series of track upgrades with help of a $50 million federal stimulus grant. Rail beds, bridges and tracks were upgraded for passenger and freight trains.MORE IN This Just InNORTH BENNINGTON Two public meetings, in North Bennington and Shaftsbury, have been set for...

The National Parkinson Foundation and 23andMe are partnering on a genetics research initiative and you can participate!
All it takes is $25, a small saliva sample, and a willingness to participate in online surveys.
The partnership between NPF and 23andMe will allow up to 10,000 people with Parkinson's to receive a reduced membership rate to the Personal Genome Service. The goal is to use the genetic information of those with Parkinson's to enhance our understanding of the disease and accelerate new discoveries and therapeutic breakthroughs.
What else can you learn from your genes? We encourage you to visit the 23andMe web site to learn more about their project.
The reduced rate of $25 (reg. price: $399) is only for people who have been diagnosed by a physician, but we encourage non-patients to spread the word to people with PD. This discount is due to the generous support of Google co-founder Sergey Brin.
If you are a person with Parkinson's disease and decide that you would like to participate in this innovative research project, fill out the online form to request a code to use to
access the $25 price.
To request a discount code visit: http://www.parkinson.org/23andMe
For details on the project visit: http://www.23andme.comParkinson's and Genes
Just a few years ago, genes were thought to have little influence on Parkinson's disease.
But now a growing number of Parkinson's-causing mutations are being discovered. We think we can learn even more with the help of 10,000 people willing to share their experience
A New Kind of Research
You can help revolutionize the way Parkinson's research is conducted. Parkinson's is a complex disease with both genetic and environmental components. By participating in this
initiative, you'll be joining an unprecedented effort to understand how the two work and interact. You'll also see the progress of this research as it moves ahead.

Thanks for sharing your valued vision. The incidence of Parkinson's is rising as the number of older adults making up the general population increases. I am listening a lot about PD. As I know about this is, Parkinson's disease (or PD) is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills, speech, and other functions. It belongs to a group of conditions called movement disorders.
Posted 08 January 2010 - 07:00 AM
Parkinson's is very a harmful. You are doing great.
Posted 17 January 2010 - 11:30 AM
Thanks for bring attention to this! Here is some additional info you might find helpful on Parkinson's disease. It was written by our genetic counselor at AccessDNA and has links to some useful resources for people dealing with this condition: http://www.accessdna... ... isease/290. I hope it helps.

The solution to fixing our debt problems is to spend more money. I know that
because barack keeps telling us.
Never mind he told us he'd cut the deficit in half during his first term.
He did increase spending, and the deficit increased, but More..

EUGENE, Ore. — Marcus Mariota threw for 198 yards and four touchdowns, including two TD strikes to tight end Colt Lyerla, and No. 2 Oregon beat No. 23 Washington 52-21 on Saturday night.
Mariota rebounded from an interception on the Ducks' opening series to complete 15 of 24 passes and Oregon (6-0, 3-0 Pac-12) won its ninth straight overall dating back to last season, as well as its ninth straight in the series against the rival Huskies (3-2, 1-1).
Lyerla caught three passes for 71 yards, including touchdowns of 10 and 13 yards.
Kenjon Barner, who went into the game ranked 10th in the nation with an average of 121 yards rushing per game, ran for 122 yards and the Ducks built a 35-7 lead at halftime.
Bishop Sankey ran for 104 yards and two touchdowns for Washington.
The two Pacific Northwest teams have a storied rivalry. Huskies' fans remember "The Pick" in 1994 when freshman cornerback Kenny Wheaton saved the day for the Ducks when he intercepted a pass by Damon Huard and ran it back 97 yards for a score. The victory sent Oregon to the Rose Bowl — and a clip is still played on the video scoreboard for fans before every home game.
The Huskies raised the ire of Ducks' fans in 2002 when, after beating Oregon 42-10, the team danced for nearly an hour on the "O'' on the 50-yard line at Autzen Stadium.
But because of Oregon's recent domination of the series, the intensity of the rivalry has diminished in recent years. The Ducks' nine-game winning streak is the longest for either side in the series history, which dates back to 1900.
There was little visible contentiousness between the two teams on Saturday night, except for a brief shoving match in the third quarter.
De'Anthony Thomas opened scoring for the Ducks when he wove his way through several defenders for a 16-yard touchdown, set up when the Huskies fumbled on a punt return and Oregon's B.J. Kelley recovered on the Washington 20.
Mariota found sophomore Keanon Lowe with a 21-yard scoring pass before Avery Patterson scored on a 43-yard interception return. It was Patterson's second straight game with an interception for a touchdown.
Sankey, who had also run for 100 yards in each of Washington's previous two games, had a 1-yard touchdown dive for the Huskies to make it 21-7 early in the second quarter.
The Ducks answered with Mariota's 10-yard TD pass to Lyerla. A short time later, a running Mariota hit Josh Huff with a 34-yard catch-and-run.
Rob Beard, who missed a 41-yards field goal in the first half, made a 28-yarder early in the second to make it 38-7. Sankey ran for a hard-fought 6-yard touchdown before the end of the third quarter.
Lyerla opened the fourth with a 13-yard touchdown pass from Mariota, and a short time later Byron Marshall ran for a score to make it 52-14.
Erich Wilson had a 1-yard TD run for Washington with 32 seconds left in the game.
Washington popped into the rankings last week after a 17-13 victory over then-No. 8 Stanford. The Ducks were the Huskies' third top-10 opponent this season. Washington also fell 41-3 to then-No. 3 LSU.
They struggled as much against the Ducks, who went into the game averaging more than 52 points a game and 550 yards in total offense.
Last season Oregon defeated Washington 34-17 in the final game played at the old Husky Stadium before an extensive renovation that is set to be completed for the 2013 season.

Intriguing, with a smoky lanolin note giving way to fleshy peach, nectarine and pear flavors, showing citrus zest and floral touches. Firm, with a juicy finish. Drink now. 3,000 cases made.-MW

ICC Summons Six Kenyan Officials Over Post-Election Violence
The International Criminal Court summoned six Kenyans to appear before a pre-trial chamber over their alleged involvement in post-election violence in 2008.
The officials include Finance Minister Uhuru Kenyatta, Henry Kosgey, who resigned as Industrialization Minister in January, and suspended Higher Education Minister William Ruto, the Hague-based court said in a statement posted on its website.
Others summoned are the head of the civil service, Francis Muthaura, former police chief Mohammed Hussein Ali and Joshua Arap Sang, a radio presenter, according to a separate statement. All six men deny the charges.
"The chamber finds that the contextual elements for crimes against humanity alleged in the prosecutor's application have been satisfied," the court said. Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo requested that the summons be issued in December.
Fighting flared between ethnic groups in Kenya following a disputed December 2007 presidential vote, leaving 1,500 people dead and forcing 300,000 to flee their homes. The clashes abated after President Mwai Kibaki, an ethnic Kikuyu, signed a power-sharing accord in February 2008 with then-opposition leader Raila Odinga, of the Luo group, who was named prime minister. No one has been convicted for orchestrating the crimes.
Government Challenge
The government plans to challenge both whether the cases are admissible and whether the Hague-based court has jurisdiction over them, Justice Minister Mutula Kilonzo, Attorney General Amos Wako and Internal Security Minister George Saitoti said today in a statement, according to the Nairobi-based Daily Nation's website.
Kenyatta, who is also deputy prime minister and son of the country's first post-independence president, Jomo Kenyatta, said he welcomed the ICC's summons.
"I will finally have the opportunity to be heard and am entirely confident of my innocence," Kenyatta said in a statement posted on his Facebook site today. The statement was confirmed by his aide, Njee Muturu, in a phone interview.
Ali, Sang and Kosgey said in interviews and through lawyers that they've agreed to appear before the court, the Daily Nation reported on its website today.
Kenya's main stock index fell for an eighth day today to its lowest level in 10 months. The All-Share index was down 1.37 percent to 73.25 at the 3 p.m. close in Nairobi, the capital. The Kenyan shilling weakened 0.6 percent to 83.95 against the dollar, its lowest level in 17 years, according to Aly-Khan Satchu, an independent analyst in Nairobi.
'Bad News'
"The ICC summons adds to the bad news that we already have," including concern about elections next year, rising oil prices and domestic inflation, Eric Musau, an analyst at African Alliance Securities Kenya Ltd. in Nairobi, said in a phone interview today.
Ruto, Kosgey and Sang jointly face four charges including murder, torture, persecution and the deportation or forcible transfer of people, which constitute a crime against humanity, the ICC said.
Kenyatta, Muthaura and Ali may have also "committed or contributed to the commission" of crimes including murder, rape and other forms of sexual violence that also constitute a crime against humanity, the court said.
"The ICC's decision to issue summonses to six suspects is a step toward justice for the victims of Kenya's horrific post-election violence in 2007-2008," Elizabeth Evenson, senior international justice counsel at New York-based Human Rights Watch, said in an e-mailed statement today. "We look forward to a judicial process without political interference and where the rights of the accused are fully respected."
Domestic Tribunal
Kibaki has opposed the ICC's prosecution of Kenyan suspects, saying the cases should be handled by a domestic tribunal. A reorganization of the judiciary promised in the country's new constitution enacted in August will ensure the cases can be brought before capable Kenyan courts, Vice President Kalonzo Musyoka said in January.
Previous failures by Kenya to push through changes required to set up a local tribunal led the ICC to pursue its own probe.
A Kenyan delegation led by Musyoka visited United Nations Security Council President Li Baodong on March 7 to lobby for the cases to be deferred for a year, according to an e-mailed statement from Kalonzo's office yesterday.
Kalonzo held a meeting with UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in New York yesterday on the ICC process and handed over a message from Kibaki, according to a statement yesterday on the UN News Service website.
"It's embarrassing that Kenyans have to go to a court outside of the country," Kilonzo told reporters in Nairobi today.

the $400 savings=16 gallons of nitro! plus i would really miss the sounds and smells of nitro. from what i have read the octane is supposed to be quiet.
mgt 8.0 it is! it's kinda like a hybrid car. you don't come close to just breaking even when you consider price of car vs. fuel savings.
good points.  i know i love the mgt, had one before.  went from one to a t-maxx on a trade after the engine on the mgt went.  hate the t-maxx. no comparison.
i am currently in the market for a new monster.  need to know release date and price really soon! about to pull the trigger on a mgt 8.0

Galp Energia
Operating in these EITI implementing countries:
Galp Energia is Portugal's energy integrated operator. Activities span from exploration and production of oil and natural gas to refining and marketing oil products, natural gas and electricity marketing and sales and power generation.
Engagement with the EITI
Galp Energia has published a clear public statement endorsing the EITI Principles and Criteria, and ensured this is accessible on its external website.
Galp Energia has disclosed the sums disbursed to state-owned entities in EITI supporting countries such as Mozambique and Timor-Leste as well as to non-supporting countries such as Brazil and Angola, as per Galp's Sustainability Report 2014, page 39.
Financial contribution to international management of the EITI*
Galp Energia contributed US$10,000 in 2014.
* The amounts said to be contributed to EITI are figures from the companies. For the audited EITI revenue figures, please consult the EITI financial accounts for that year.
Galp Energia's official statement regarding EITI, published in its Corporate Sustainability Report:
The growth of Galp Energia's upstream activity and the diversity of countries where it currently operates, covering every continent, bring important responsibility regarding transparency. In 2014, Galp Energia has kept its adherence and support compliance with the principles of the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative (EITI) with the aim of improving transparency and promoting attempts to make the extracting industry more responsible.
"Transparency and good governance are fundamental guiding principles at Galp Energia. That is why our company sees the activity developed by the EITI as part of a major transformational movement towards the transparent governance of the financial resources generated by the oil and gas extraction business. Indeed, we support more countries joining the EITI, given its beneficial effects in the creation of a fairer and more transparent market.
Transparency requires everything to be clear and true, and in this way confidence is transmitted to all those involved. In this environment those involved have to be more responsible, so that local communities understand the importance of business investment for their sustainable development. For this reason, the involvement of civil society in the various EITI groups helps increase transparency when rendering the accounts. Indeed, the EITI is undoubtedly an example of the practice of multistakeholder sustainability, promoting the common good and healthy relationships between businesses, governments and civil society. That is why we will always support those who wish to establish more transparency in the oil and gas business." - Manuel Ferreira De Oliveira- Chief Executive Officer Galp Energia (Galp Energia Sustainability Report 2012, page 25)

In 1956 we discussed the history of histoplasmosis1 and the developments of 50 years since the discovery of the disease by Samuel T. Darling.2 Since 1956, much new knowledge has accumulated—an effective therapeutic agent (amphotericin B) has become available,3 and essential epidemiologic and anatomical data have been brought forward contributing to the understanding of the disease.
It is universally accepted that the lung is, for all practical purposes, the only portal of entrance for the cells of Histoplasma capsulatum and the site of the primary infection. This statement is based on the demonstration of primary foci in the lungs of a large segment of the population in the endemic area by anatomical methods with demonstration of organisms in these frequently calcified, primary lesions.4-8
Epidemiologic studies have been another source of information contributing to this pathogenic opinion. Furcolow and others9,10 have shown that the so-called epidemics

Gen. Petraeus Defines Victory in Iraq
As the fifth anniversary of the U.S. led invasion of Iraq is marked this week, Gen. David Petraeus, the top military commander in Iraq, says that attacks are down 60 percent, but progress is "tenuous" and "reversible."
In a discussion on the future of the country with Alex Chadwick, he defines victory as "an Iraq that is at peace with itself, at peace with its neighbors, that has a government that is representative of — and responsive to — its citizenry and is a contributing member of the global community."
Prospects for such an Iraq are better than they were a year ago, during the height of sectarian violence, he says.
"There is a degree of hope in the Iraqi population that probably was not present back at that time," he says, adding that, ultimately, success depends on "progress in the security arena, providing basic services to the Iraqi people, the Iraqi government getting their ministries functioning in a way that they are not right now, and getting the economy overall growing so that it can employ what is a fairly substantial unemployed and underemployed population."

Date of Stay: July, 2016
Redfield City Camping Small (20 spaces) right on lake shore just before you enter town from the west on 212. All sites have elec, cheap at $15/night for 30 amp. Pay by check at post at entrance. No potable water in campground! Be sure to have some onboard. Dump station available. Quiet, even though next to hiway. Paved pads and road with grass all around. Multi-night stay needs call to city for availability. (20 day max On line reservation City of Redfield website.) First come, first served. Look for orange tag on power post if site is reserved by date. Sharp turn in for most sites. ALL BACK IN. NOT FOR LONG RIGS! Nice play ground for kids. Bath facilities are pretty clean but a little worn. Showers (1 each, free) actually work and are HOT. Bring shower shoes just in case. Camp Host might not be around but is in spot #1. Be sure to check ALL registration posts in campground to find window sticker after paying to avoid early morning knock on door.
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Needed a quick place to get out of bad weather and we were half way between Phoenix and Tucson late (7PM) on a Sunday night. Went to gate and pushed call button (sign said they would answer till 8PM). A very nice older gentleman came up, opened the gate and checked us in for the night. We did a "follow me" on him right into the site. Site was small very clean gravel and perfectly groomed along with perfectly level. The entire park is the cleanest we have ever seen. Mostly long term but they have a few (8?) overnight pull throughs. Totally gate guarded at night for security. Quiet, very little noise from hiway. The only issue was no cable TV but they get all the Phoenix HD OTA stations (they have cable run to each site but the cable company hasn't run the branch line down the street outside). This really is a great stop and they fill up with snowbirds and we can see why. For overnighters "cash or check only, no CCs)
Date of Stay: August, 2015
Very hard to find. East side of town North of road back off road 2 blocks through heavy trees and narrow dirt road. Not visible from road. Small ground level sign on opposite side of road to turn direction only visible when going east bound. Level gravel site pull through. Ratty looking full timer rigs present (crashed car, one 6th falling apart, etc. Have to pay at City Hall then go to park. Don't confuse this with 7 miles south of town. City park NOT on GPS.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Not much but a quick stop for the night. No WiFi, no cable, no dump on parking site but a dump is available near entrance. OK for a quick stop. Not much around walking distance. Stop for dinner before if you don't want to unhook. Call ahead for off ramp as highway being repaired and nearby off ramp closed. No WiFi or cable. Nice lady runs it.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Easy in and out. Best WIFI we have ever found! Will definately stay again if in the area. After a heavy rain some mud in the grass areas but not objectionable. Not much shade. The main office/club house was large and clean.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Kind of tight but not bad. Clean and neat overall. The overnight sites seem easier to navigate to than the full or long term ones. Lawns and buildings neat and clean. Manager seemed to care about how things were kept around the park. Lots of fishing in the area and at the back of the RV park right on the water. Would use it again.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
OK place to stop overnight or for a fishing trip to the lake. Nothing special but I'd stay there again if overnight in the area. Everything worked at the site. Site was level, no blocking needed. As stated, nothing super special, just that it's an OK stop for fishing or an overnight.
Date of Stay: July, 2015
Staff very helpful, easy in and out even with road construction in area so call ahead for better directions than GPS because of road work. Near freeway but not objectionable for noise. Will stay here again when passing through.
Date of Stay: June, 2013
The previous post was right on in describing this park. We left but did get a refund. Walmart is better. The place is filthy both outside and in the laundry room. Didn't even check out the bath room facilities as we left so quick. Mostly permanent customers. Ants and chiggers all around. It has not been cleaned up in a long time. The office looks like a tornado went through it. The trains are constant and 100 yards away. If you like trains, Great! Not us. The lady in charge was nice, but the facilities were the worst we've seen. If I still had young kids they wouldn't play outside the RV here.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Great place for boondocking. Pick your site on Google Earth so you know it's level and long enough. Some lake views. Most are shorter sites. Water in every "loop". Dump station at entrance $7. Cheap if you are "older" with pass. Back side away from lake is usually open and very few use it so if you want to be away from them all go here. Still has good mountain views.
Date of Stay: August, 2012
Clean, well laid out, nice shade, very clean rest rooms, very helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Religion Death Desert
posted by September 3 at 12:05 PMon
Five women buried alive in name of honour:
Three teenage girls along with their two close elderly relatives were shot at before being buried alive in a desert of Balochistan by their tribesmen in the name of honour.
The shocking reports of this horrible incident reaching the capital from different quarters revealed that the girls studying in classes 10 to 12 intended to marry men of their choice through a civil court by defying the centuries-old tribal traditions. When the fuming elders of Umrani tribe came to know about the intentions of these girls to appear before a local court, they picked them up from their homes along with two of their elderly women relatives. The crying girls were pushed into official cars and driven to a deserted area. There they were pushed out of the cars, made to stand in a queue and volleys of shots fired at them.
As the bleeding girls fell on the sand, the tribesmen dragged them into a nearby ditch and levelled it with earth and stones before the girls could breathe their last. As the two shocked elderly women tried to rescue the hapless girls, they too were gunned down and buried in the same manner.
But even worse than the killings: "Legislators indifferent to sorry end of women buried alive":
As the government remained indifferent towards the sorry end of the five women who were buried alive in a desert of Balochistan last month, it has been revealed that the influential man who had killed the women is a ìserial killerî and loves to kill women.
The alleged serial killer had reportedly killed three persons, including one girl, before killing the five women. But he has never been captured or punished for his acts against humanity. Even parliamentarians who had raised hue and cry over the issue of Dr Aafia Siddiqui and passed a joint resolution in this regard remained silent on the sorry fate of the five women.
Utterly horrible.

Interests: - FOSS GIS - DEM construction and analysis - natural hazards and flow modeling
I'm a PhD student at the University of Oxford (2011-2014). I'm new to GIS, so if you use GRASS, QGIS, or switch between one of those and ESRI software, I'd appreciate any tips or resources. I focus on creating a FOSS workflow for hazard modeling, starting with DEM generation using computer vision and SfM (structure from motion). If you have experience working with point cloud data, it would be great to hear about. Lastly, if you work in hazard or flow modeling (particularly if you have experience with models e.g. r.drain in GRASS, HEC-RAS, HEC-geoRAS, LAHARZ, or similar) please get in touch!

Disney has already had one family hit this year, with Zootopia, and they've got another one on their hands with Jon Favreau's update of The Jungle Book. Full Story
And so the Warner Bros. shuffle begins
After the antipathetic public reaction to Superhero Face Punch, it seemed inevitable that Warner Brothers would have to make some changes to their plans for the DC Extended Universe, which is what they're calling their cinematic universe. But they stuck with Zack Snyder as the director of The Justice League Part One, and they aren't slowing down that train at all, so just what those changes would be remained a question. Full Story

Filmed on October 13, 2011, at "Pivot: AIGA Design Conference"
From aesthetics and utility to sustainability and value, the intentions
of most designers are too often distorted through the presumptions they
hold around what they're supposed to be providing and to whom they're
providing it. Rather than a group of practitioners in the service of
industry, designers need to see themselves as connective
tissue—translating between stakeholders, reframing problems, revealing
opportunities and championing change. It is through scale that they
wield their might and earn their keep, and that's what makes them both
powerful and dangerous. Design is now seen as a strategic global
resource, enabling innovative brands and companies to compete more
effectively. There has to be more to it than that.
Allan Chochinov is a partner of Core77, a New York-based design network
serving a global community of designers and design enthusiasts, and
chair of the new MFA in Products of Design graduate program at the
School of Visual Arts in New York City. Chochinov lectures around the
world and at professional conferences including IDSA, AIGA and IxDA, has
been a guest critic at various design schools in including Yale
University, NYU, IIT, Carnegie Mellon, Ravensbourne, RMIT, University of
Minnesota, RIT, Emily Carr and RISD. He has moderated and led workshops
and symposia at the Aspen Design Conference, the Rockefeller Center at
Bellagio, Compost Modern and Winterhouse, and is a frequent design
competition juror. Prior to Core77, his work in product design focused
on the medical, surgical and diagnostic fields, as well as on consumer
products and workplace systems. He has been named on numerous design and
utility patents and has received awards from The Art Directors Club, I.D. magazine, Communication Arts and The One Club.
In 2011, AIGA's biennial design conference drew more than 1,500
designers, educators and students to Phoenix for "Pivot," a three-day conference focused on the changing nature of the design industry. Watch videos from the event here.

On 12th August The v2 Wrestling Podcast caught up with former TNA star and Ring of Honor World Champion Nigel McGuinness (known to TNA fans as Desmond Wolfe!).
Nigel spoke with Adam and Gavin about a range of topics including the critically-acclaimed documentary of his retirement tour The Last of McGuinness, what went wrong for him in TNA, observations on the rise of his former colleagues Daniel Bryan and Magnus and the renaissance of Matt Hardy, what he's up to at the moment, and where he sees his future.
This is a fascinating and candid insight into Nigel's career, and it's heart-warming to hear Nigel talk with enthusiasm about the next stage of his life.
Many thanks to Nigel for giving up over 30 minutes of his time to v2 Wrestling.

Fourth-Generation Prius: New Engine, New Design, More Fuel Efficient

It's new TNGA platform will also allow for 20 percent less vehicle weight
Toyota Motor Corp. is shedding more light on the upcoming
fourth-generation Toyota Prius
, including a whole new design and at least an 8 percent gain in fuel economy.
According to
Automotive News
, Toyota is looking to make some major changes in design, manufacturing and technology for the next Prius, which is due to be released in a year.
For starters, the next-gen Prius will be the first (or one of the first) Toyota vehicles based on the automaker's latest platform, "Toyota New Global Architecture" (TNGA). TNGA aims to improved engineering and low-cost as well as flexible manufacturing.
This platform will call for a major redesign of the Prius' looks. TNGA means lower-slung vehicles with a more planted stance and lower center of gravity, which should improve handling and offer a sportier look.
One possible design direction for the next generation Prius -- the FT-Bh concept
Chris Hostetter, Toyota's vice president for strategic planning in the U.S., has said that the Prius could use a new look.
"There's an undercurrent among most people that they're ready for a new Prius look," said Hostetter. "Maybe our architecture has been a little bit similar for the last two generations."
The Prius, which was first launched in Japan in 1997 and the U.S. in 2000, had an exterior design that was altered from Toyota's Yaris sedan. The second-generation Prius was released in 2003, and it received the raked hood and windshield. From 2003 to 2004, Prius sales increased dramatically from 43,162 to 125,742. Toyota is likely hoping to do the same with a completely redesigned fourth-generation Prius.
Aside from design,
the new Prius
is getting a makeover under the hood. Its new ultra-efficient gasoline engine will achieve thermal efficiency rates above 40 percent, which is a nice boost from 38.5 percent in the current Prius.
Toyota also talked batteries in its latest Prius revelations. It's deciding whether to use lithium ion batteries for its fourth-generation Prius, or to offer some models with lithium ion and others with nickel-metal hydride batteries. While Toyota likes the power and energy performance of lithium ion, it worries about the cost compared to nickel-metal hydride batteries.
Another possible avenue -- the
NS4 concept
Satoshi Ogiso, managing officer in charge of global product planning at Toyota, said the automaker is pushing for at least an 8 percent improvement in fuel economy, which is slightly less than the 10 percent gains each Prius before it has received.
"Generally speaking, hybrid powertrains are more mature than before. So, the general tendency is that when a technology matures, the improvement ratio is saturating, dropping," said Ogiso. "We will do our best effort to keep that pace."
But the fact that TNGA models will cut vehicle weight will be helpful. It was reported that Toyota should be able to cut overall vehicle weight by up to 20 percent on TNGA models, which includes the new Prius.
Toyota mentioned lighter components, such as its new one-size-fits-all heating and air-conditioning unit that 20 percent smaller than the previous Prius generation's.
Jonny Lieberman, senior features editor at
Motor Trend
, recently spoke with his sources at Toyota and
shared a bit of secret info about the next Prius
. Lieberman hinted that the next Prius would have a fuel economy rating of
60 mpg
. This shouldn't be too hard to achieve assuming a lighter vehicle weight, more powerful electric motor, and a possible switch from NiMH to lithium-ion batteries.

Should be a bright future for those who like to save money
This is pretty cool news but no surprises really. It's known Toyota targets 10% efficiency improvements.
A few points to add regarding hybrids:
The 50mpg EPA rating for a Prius is an average and conservative number that is meant to cover a basic driving style of your average non-hybrid driver. But their are exploitation points within the aerodynamics, battery motor, regenerative braking, and start-stop engine that can add 10% conservative and/or 20% hypermiling to that 50mpg number. In short, driving technique is important to saving money on fuel with hybrid cars.
Why am I saying this? Because if the next generation Prius gets 60mpg average by the same rules, you should be able to get the same 10% and 20% efficiency improvements on top of that 60mpg based on driving style. That means achieving a 65mpg average in the next Prius should be very doable without much effort at all.
65mpg is an important number. As your mpg's climb higher, you begin to receive diminishing returns on your petrol dollar. A good example is if two people drive 12,000 miles a year along the same route at $3.50/gallon. The person who averaged 70mpg spent $600 on fuel while the person who averaged 65mpg spend $646 for that entire year. 5mpg only means $46 at such a high level of efficiency. At a lower level of efficiency, say 15mpg vs 20mpg for a truck or SUV, the difference is bigger at $700. I've always considered 65mpg to be the sweet spot for diminishing returns. For a 1000 mile a month commuter, even if gas were to hit $10/gallon, you still would only be spending ~$1,800 a year on fuel. This makes it a future proof car.

Ordered this scope for my 22-250 Varmit gun, installed the scope and took it to the range the next day. Out of the box the scope was hitting paper at 50 meters (54 yards), a few adjustments later I was dead on at 100 meters (108 yds). Scope is of good quality and the recticles are clear and concise. Great price as well,
A very good scope for the price. I do a little target and varmint hunting with this scope and has held up. That being said it's not a Nikon or Leupold and I didn't expect it to be for the price. I'm happy with this scope.
I purchased this Barska 6.5-20 x 50 and a Barska 3-9 x 40 today. Both had good magnification, 3" eye relief and clarity. However, one click of the Barska elevation equals 8 clicks of windage. One click of 6.5-20 elevation at 100 yards moves 4 inches. One click of 3-9 at 50 yards moves 1 inch. Windage moves 1/8" at 50 and 1/4" at 100 as expected. I will keep the 3-9 on my Ruger 10/22, but I am returning this 6.5-20 that I tested on with my Savage .308. My .308 elevation and windage could both be adjusted by 1/4" at 100 yards with my Centerpoint 4-16 x 40, but its short 2" eye relief was scary. I will test a Nikon scope for the .308. The Walmart in-store return process for Walmart.com is awesome.
I had one of these scopes on my 22 mag with no issues. This one I am trying it on a larger 30-06.
I have not had time to use this scope as much as I would like but so far I believe it is going to do what I expect it to do. It has very clear optics evenon the high power settings. I would have no problem in saying it is comparable to much more expensive scopes that I use on other rifles.
attached to my rifle with easy.great scope for the price

In the summer of 1982, as a recent college graduate hitchhiking through central Africa, I spent two weeks in Rwanda, a gorgeous country of a thousand hills, all crowded with terraced farms and houses and huts.
The capital, Kigali, was a small city, little more than embassies, a few banks and hotels, the Maison du President, and a big military encampment. This was the first African country I'd seen where women served in the gendarmerie-like the lovely, tall twenty-five-year-old I met one night at a popular four-star hotel, the Milles Collines. She was named Jeanne, and we sat outside at the bar by the swimming pool and had a drink; we danced and flirted a little. Jeanne wore a soldier's uniform decorated with a lapel-button picture of the president, General Juvenal Habyarimana. I'd read about the colonial history of Rwanda, including the Hutu-Tutsi riots of the 1960s, when thousands had been killed, and I asked Jeanne-she herself was a Tutsi, she told me-about the situation between Hutu and Tutsis.
"That belongs to the past," she said, somewhat guardedly. "There is no longer any problem." Pas de problème.
Today I shudder to remember Jeanne, and to imagine what might have befallen her twelve years later, in the holocaust in which nearly one million of her fellow Tutsis were massacred. Back in 1982 it was impossible, amid the confident, stylish ambience of the hotel, with its easy-seeming mix of...
