The entire building looks like a charred wreck. Black timbers form the skeleton of what used to be a house. For Assistant Fire Marshall Phillip Barber, there's a story in the rubble.
"Part of fire behavior is putting the human element behind it," Barber said. "You can find out who's responsible and how it happened."
Barber investigates fires for the Nashville Fire Department. He's been with the Department for years, but credits Fire Science classes at Volunteer State Community College for his move into prevention and investigation.
"It was a ten year process for me," Barber said. "I would take classes to pique my interest in various parts of the fire department. When I took the Fire Investigation class I knew I wanted to turn that way in my career."
Fire Science Program Director, Travis Ford, says the classroom or online instruction is critical for modern firefighting.
"In the American Fire Service we have more than 100 firefighters die each year," said Ford. "If you're not able to process information and make quick decisions, the way technology and building codes have changed, if you don't keep up, you're in trouble."
Firefighters have a goal of reducing firefighter deaths by 25 percent in the next five years. Part of that goal will be accomplished with new safety training classes. Ford stresses that the training must prepare firefighters for a wide range of scenarios.
"We teach an all hazards approach. Our response could be for a terrorist incident, hazardous materials or urban search and rescue. All of this plays into emergency response."
The Vol State Fire Science Program is also designed to help firefighters move forward in their careers. Assistant Fire Marshall Barber credits his promotion to his education. Ford points to many Fire Chiefs that have come from the Vol State program, including Chief John Kendrick in Cookeville and Chief Don Kelley in Lawrenceburg.
"Education is moving past the 'need to have', to a 'must have'," said Ford. "It's still a job where you get wet, get dirty and get with it, but that doesn't mean you progress to a level to do budgets and talk to the city council without an education."
Ford says the idea is to teach a firefighter to be a supervisor, and a supervisor to be a manager, and finally a manager to be an executive level officer.
For Assistant Fire Marshall Barber there's another big reason behind his 10 year quest for higher education: his three children.
"As long as they're willing to go to school, I'm willing to set the example."
Barber takes that example to a new level. He now teaches Fire Investigation at Vol State, showing others how to decipher the story behind a fire.

MAYPORT, Fla. - At 7:55 a.m. Friday -- a time that lives in infamy -- more than 200 veterans gathered at Mayport Naval Station to remember those who lost their lives in the Pearl Harbor attacks.
Friday marked the 71st anniversary of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor that killed thousands of people and launched the United States into World War II.
Several Pearl Harbor survivors attended this year's Mayport ceremony, which was held aboard the USS DeWert.
"This is a yearly event hosted by the Fleet Reserve Association," Austin said. "They've been conducting this event since 1966. It's a Mayport tradition. It's a real chance for us to honor the sacrifice of those lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor."

INTERACTIVE 10 things about Pearl Harbor
Austin said because Jacksonville is a Navy town, there is a lot of community support for this ceremony, adding he truly enjoys attending these ceremonies.
"I've gone to several of these events and it's always amazing because Pearl Harbor survivors in particular can relay to you in great detail where they were when the bombs started flying in Pearl Harbor," Austin said.
President Barack Obama called for flags to fly at half-staff Friday in remembrance of those who lost their lives in the attacks.

Contrary to Mitt Romney's belief, losing was an option and a reality.
Sources from the presidential hopeful's campaign said that Romney was blind sided by his lost during last week's presidential election.
Campaigners described Romney as being "shell-shocked" when he realized he did not win.
As the projections came in from each state, insiders said Romney remained confident that he would take the White House seat. It was not until Ohio results came in that Romney started to face the possibility of defeat.
"We went into the evening confident we had a good path to victory," one adviser said. "I don't think there was one person who saw this coming."
Campaign aides said the former Massachusetts governor had trouble processing the news. He was even hoping the results were wrong, something Karl Rove argued on Fox News.

Their close ties to the military community gave them unusual access to top generals. And Paula Broadwell and Jill Kelley even visited the White House on separate and apparently unrelated occasions before a sex scandal brought down former CIA Director David Petraeus.
A White House official says neither woman met with President Barack Obama during their visits.
Broadwell, who had an affair with Petraeus, attended meetings on Afghanistan-Pakistan policy at the White House complex in June 2009 and June 2011.
The Tampa, Fla., socialite who initiated the investigation that revealed the affair, Kelley and her twin sister had two "courtesy" meals at the White House mess as guests of a midlevel aide in September and October. Kelley and her family received a White House tour the weekend before the election.

- Abstract
- This research is being conducted at the Industrial Research Institute Swinburne (IRIS) in cooperation with Weir Warman Ltd. The research commenced in March 2002 and is expected to be complete by March 2004. The purpose of this research is to find out if laser assisted machining of hard-to-wear materials used by Weir Warman Ltd. for slurry pump inners is feasible. And if so, find the optimum operating parameters for minimum machining time and tool wear. If successful, laser assisted machining could be implemented at the plant giving cost savings. As this research has only been conducted for a few months, this paper contains only a preliminary literature review and the proposed methodology.

A man and his son managed to keep a burglar from breaking into their home early Friday morning by holding all their weight against the front door as the suspect tried to get in.
Police say the suspect had broken a window on the door, and was trying to reach in and unlock it.
After thwarting the burglary attempt, the suspect took off. Police were called immediately to the home on the 600 block of Pine Street, where they began a yard-by-yard search for the suspect.
One officer was sitting a few blocks away, in the area of West Platte and North Spruce, when he saw a man matching the suspect's description. The man, identified as 41-year-old Brant Miller Weeden, was determined to be the person officers were looking for, and was arrested on attempted second-degree burglary charges.

I recently picked up a copy of the University of Louisville School of Medicine's geriatrics calendar celebrating the core values of amazing seniors.
In it, 80-year-old Mary Jane Mullins said: "Accept life on life's terms; bear its sorrow with patience and savor its joys; love others and yourself; grow spiritually. It's NOT what you believe, but what you DO that counts!"
And I loved the whimsical comments from 80-year-old Edward D. Triner who said, "I strive, not for perfection, for anything worth doing is worth doing poorly.

Personal Stuff
A little bit about who I am and what I do.
Linux Use
I started using Linux about 8 years ago or so. The first Linux distribution I used was Fedora. After that I flip-flopped between that and Windows, admittedly I used Windows a lot more. About a year or so later, a friend of mine had gotten me into Sabayon Linux, on Sabayon 5, and I used that for a while then decided to try Gentoo. I have since then tried many different distros but settled on Gentoo for the better part of it all. I then heard about Funtoo through a friend on #sabayon, and went between Gentoo and Funtoo for a while. Now here we are, using Funtoo for the better part of two years, and I can't imagine using something else.
I aim more for the desktop side of Linux, though I do maintain two servers, one running Gentoo the other running Funtoo. I like to think I am pretty good at what I do with Linux, but I could be wrong :P
My Life
I'm 21 years old, born on July 6, 1991. I was born in Santiago, Chile, grew up in southeastern Michigan, and now live in northern California. California is nice, but a totally different world from Michigan. I have a cat who I've had for two years, she's a big part of my life. I am a big Star Wars and Lord of the Rings fan.

Up to half of the world's food is wasted, according to a new report that found production inefficiencies in developing countries and market and consumer waste in more advanced societies.
The British-based independent Institution of Mechanical Engineers said about 4.4 billion tons of food is produced annually and roughly half of it is never eaten.
"This level of wastage is a tragedy that cannot continue if we are to succeed in the challenge of sustainably meeting our future food demands," the group said in its report.

User notes are pieces of information which can be assigned to registered users on your Joomla! site. These notes can contain for example comments about 'offending' or 'difficult' users etc.
Column Headers
In the table containing the user notes assigned to users registered on your Joomla! site, you will see different columns. Here you can read what they mean and what is displayed in that column.
- Checkbox. Check this box to select one or more items. To select all items, check the box in the column heading. After one or more boxes are checked, click a toolbar button to take an action on the selected item or items. Many toolbar actions, such as Publish and Unpublish, can work with multiple items. Others, such as Edit, only work on one item at a time. If multiple items are checked and you press Edit, the first item will be opened for editing.
- User. The name of the user.

- Category. The Category this item belongs to.
- Status. (Published/Unpublished/Archived/Trashed) The published status of the item.
- Review date. The date when the user note was created.
- ID. This is a unique identification number for this item assigned automatically by Joomla!. It is used to identify the item internally, and you cannot change this number. When creating a new item, this field displays 0 until you save the new entry, at which point a new ID is assigned to it.

The government yesterday reminded district councils in the country to set aside 10 per cent of their revenue for the development of youths and children as important groups in the development of the country's economy.
Finance deputy minister Pereira Silima issued the reminder here yesterday when responding to a supplementary question by Amina Makilagi (Special Seats - CCM), who had wanted to know the government stance on district councils which do not set aside 10 per cent of their revenue for the development of youths and children.
In response, Silima said youths and children were important groups in the development of the country' economy, hence all district councils were supposed to contribute 10 per cent as the law directs.
In the basic question, Makilagi wanted to know the amount of funds allocated to the Ministry of Community Development, Gender and Children in the coming financial year because the ministry had been getting small budgetary allocations compared to other ministries.
Silima said that in the financial year 2009/2010 the government set aside 17.1bn/- and in 2010/2011 the ministry received 19.9bn/-, while in the coming budget a total of 16.3bn/- had been allocated for the ministry.
He said a reduction in the budgetary allocation was caused partly by the employment of new staff in the coming financial year.
Silima said funds for the employing of the new staff had been shifted to Vote 21 (Treasury) so as to control the problem of ghost workers.
He said the ministry was expecting to employ a total of 252 staff in the coming financial year.
Silima said despite the limited budget, the government had set aside funds in ministries and councils for community development, gender and children.

(covers information from several alternate timelines)
A cat (Felis catus) is a small predatory mammal from Earth. Individuals of this type are often kept as pets among Humans. When cats are happy, they purr. Examples of cats kept as pets include Spot, owned by Data, (TNG: "Data's Day", "In Theory", "Schisms") Neelix, owned by Reginald Barclay, (VOY: "Pathfinder") and Chester, owned by Liam Bilby and, later, Miles O'Brien. (DS9: "Honor Among Thieves", "Time's Orphan")
In 2267, the alien Sylvia demonstrated the power to assume the form of a cat. She accomplished this feat with the aid of a device called the transmuter, which was the one element of her wardrobe that did not change shape. (TOS: "Catspaw")
In 2268, the Enterprise, on a mission in the 20th century, encountered Gary Seven, an agent of a benevolent alien power that interfered to prevent civilizations from destroying themselves. He was accompanied by a cat named Isis, who was more than she initially appeared to be. Exactly what she was remains a mystery. She was evidently capable of understanding Gary Seven, and of communicating with him in at least a rudimentary fashion, and she accompanied him wherever he went. (TOS: "Assignment: Earth")
In 2269, a landing party from the Enterprise, while visiting the Shore Leave Planet, encountered a mechanical manifestation of an abnormally massive cat. (TAS: "Once Upon a Planet")
It is possible that Natasha Yar had a cat. She at least felt obligated to protect one while being chased by a rape gang, when she lived on the failed colony Turkana IV, which appeared in illusionary form when the Traveler inadvertently sent the USS Enterprise-D to the "edge of universe." (TNG: "Where No One Has Gone Before")
In 2366, Young Jeremy used to play "Captain Patches" with a cat, pretending Patches was a captain flying through space. (TNG: "The Bonding")
"Cat" was one of numerous words Miles O'Brien used due to his infection of the aphasia virus. (DS9: "Babel")
In the anti-time future seen by Jean-Luc Picard, Data had amassed a diverse collection of cats while a professor at Cambridge University. (TNG: "All Good Things...")
In the alternate reality, nearly a year after stardate 2259.55, after the USS Enterprise was rechristened, Captain James T. Kirk asked Chief Engineer Montgomery Scott about the performance of the new warp core. Purrin' like a kitten, Captain. was Scott's response. (Star Trek Into Darkness)

Having a dog is so enjoyable that gamers are seeking out the experience in the virtual world. Wappy Dog is a robot dog that interacts with a person by way of a Nintendo game.
Virtual pets are not new, but this system expands on virtual pets by including an actual toy. The toy robot dog develops—changing its behavior, skills, mood, personality and responsiveness based on the virtual interactions the person has while gaming with this system. The addition of a physical toy is supposed to lead to a stronger bond than a game alone can create.
A toy dog is no substitute for a real dog, but I think the educational opportunities are intriguing. Just as people can learn about parenting through virtual experiences, there is the potential for people to learn skills from Wappy Dog that could enhance their ability to raise, care for and train a real dog.
Has anyone tried out Wappy Dog?
Karen B. London, PhD, is a Bark columnist and a Certified Applied Animal Behaviorist specializing in the evaluation and treatment of serious behavior problems in the domestic dog.

Luis Urrea is a compelling speaker. His style is frank and unassuming, yet modest and refreshingly upbeat. Last time, I wrote about hearing a conversation with Urrea on the National Endowment for the Arts blog, "Art Works."
Here are some follow-up podcasts that should help provide a little additional context for his upcoming appearance(s) in Kalamazoo… Enjoy.
Photo of Luis Urrea: Kankakee Public Library
Author Luis Alberto Urrea speaking at Kankakee Public Library, Kankakee, Illinois, in 2006. [65:00] (Kankakee Public Library)
Kankakee Public Library (another KPL!) in Kankakee, Illinois, offers the audio portion of Luis Urrea's program when he first visited the library on January 26, 2006. Urrea discusses his early writings; The Devil's Highway and Hummingbird's Daughter, along with then (and still) timely issues of immigration and growing up in a Mexican family. Urrea was so moved by this visit to Kankakee and the story of its library that it prompted him to write an article for the New York Times, "Kankakee Gets Its Groove Back."
Author Luis Alberto Urrea speaking at Kankakee Public Library, Kankakee, Illinois, in 2009. [59:09] (Kankakee Public Library)
Urrea returned to Kankakee Public Library on May 20, 2009 for the launch of his (then) latest novel, Into the Beautiful North. During this discussion, Urrea speaks about Kankakee's place in Into the Beautiful North and reads excerpts from the book. The program includes an introduction by Julia Sandstrom, whose mother, Mary Jo Johnston, was the Kankakee librarian who so inspired Urrea. Urrea shares more about his first experiences in Kankakee, his resulting friendship with Mary Jo, and how Kankakee found its place in his writing.
Author Luis Alberto Urrea is a guest on BlogTalkRadio in 2011. [31:14] (BlogTalkRadio)
During this half-hour podcast/radio show recorded for BlogTalkRadio in November 2011, Luis Urrea discusses his current book, Queen of America. Urrea tells listeners about his great aunt, who happens to be the main character of the book, and her experiences as a "back door" immigrant in New York City during the early 20th century. One caller during the program was Miriam Downey, a Kalamazoo-based blogger (The Cyberlibrarian Reads) who added a nice plug for Urrea's Kalamazoo visit. The program is an interesting and timely conversation about the immigrant experience, writing, getting his first book published, and even Mexican food!
Don't miss your chance to see and hear Luis Urrea in person, Tuesday, March 6th.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. (21Alive) -- A shooting Christmas morning at a little after 1 a.m. has Fort Wayne Police on the hunt for two shooters.
It happened at Sports and Spirits near the intersection of N. Anthony and E. Wayne.
When the cops showed up they found several shell casings just outside the entrance to the bar and several bullet holes in one of the windows of the bar and one man and one woman inside had been hit. The man was in critical condition and the woman in fair. Bboth were rushed to the hospital.
Preliminary investigation indicates that a disturbance occurred inside the bar. The bouncer of the bar escorted the subjects who were instigating the confrontation outside and then locked the door. The subjects, once outside began to shoot through the window into the bar. It is unknown at this time if the two victims who were shot were involved in the initial disturbance.
Video surveillance and witnesses were instrumental in identifying the shooters. At this time officers are attempting to locate the shooters based on initial reports. The crime scene is being processed for further evidence and the video footage continues to be reviewed.

Noland's Articuno (anime)
this wiki
Noland's Articuno did not actually belong to Noland but they were close friends.
Noland met Articuno when he was flying his plane and seeing that it had been injured he helped Articuno land safely. After that Articuno frequently visited him.
During Articuno's first appearance, Ash Ketchum had arrived to challenge Noland and was lucky enough to arrive while Articuno was visiting Noland. Articuno was used to defeat Team Rocket. Eager to test his skill against the Legendary Pokemon, Ash called Liza in the Characific Valley and asked her to send over his Charizard.
The next day, Charizard battled Articuno. Despite Charizards type advantage, Articuno almost defeated the Fire type using speed, power and the super effective Water Pulse. However when it tried to finish Charizard with Steel Wing, Charizard grabbed Articuno and then smashed it into the ground with a devastating Seismic Toss. Articuno managed to stand up but then it collapsed making Charizard the first Pokemon in the anime to have defeated a Legendary Pokemon. After its defeat, Noland comforted Articuno by saying that there was no shame in losing to a Pokemon as powerful as Ash's Charizard. Articuno then flew away.
Articuno has been seen in two flashbacks, first in Pace - The Final Frontier and later in A Pyramiding Rage.

We are throwing a full on open house complete with drinks and food. AMT hackers will be on hand to explain equipment and show off projects like:
Come on by learn about the space, meet the makers/teachers or just hang out and play a game! RSVP on meetup or on facebook! (rsvp not required, tell your friends, drop by!)
Vote! Team West: Byte Blaster
A few months ago several members of Ace Monster Toys worked together to create a laser pointer shooting gallery as an entry into a Radio Shack / Popular Mechanics sponsored contest. If you saw our booth at Maker Faire then you saw the awesome results of that collaberation. Well, the contest is now live and I suggest you check out the voting site to give yourself and Ace Monster Toys a chance at $1000 prize.
After some very careful bubble removing work (pictured above), we fired up the laser and it lased! We successfully burned a spot on a piece of paper. Still to do:
1. Hook up current meter, to ensure tube isn't being over-driven
2. Clean & Align mirrors & lens
3. Level the bed (might already be ok)
Terry did an awesome job diagnosing Guido and getting it to function again. The power supply on the laptop had been blown. He cobbled together a new one as a temporary solution but a permanent replacement is still a necessity. Per Terry's post to the listserv, we're on the hunt for a power supply for an older Inspiron 8200. The current supply should be used for charging only with the laptop off/sleeping. Unplug it before powering up the laptop and run it on battery power only. Terry also found loose connections on the board so fixed those as well. We still don't yet know why the power supply on the PC blew. The controller does provide optical isolation for some pins but there may still have been some other spike sent back up the line.
He also pointed me to the working EMC2 config file and I'm using that to rebuild a new GRBL config and firmware. Turns out the pinouts were matching but the timing of the step and direction signals was waaaay off. So kudos to Terry for getting the diagnosis right and teaching me how to improve my debugging skills. Guido also has a new handheld pendant for manual movement but pinouts don't match (shocker!) so we need to debug the DB15 connector and rewire the jumpers. Terry has posted his findings to the wiki and I'll provide updates shortly with all the GRBL changes.
This lesson also gives me hope for the big CNC router because the behavior I saw on Guido with GRBL was similar to the behavior on the big CNC with GRBL. One axis moved albeit with a lot of vibration and the other axis made a lot of noise but moved not a whit. I've posted to CNCZone to requesting anyone to share a working EMC2/Mach3 config file. Because a datasheet for the main IC hasn't been located, we've got no easy way to reverse engineer the signal timing. Next step is to try with an oscilliscope to monitor the motor signals and trace the signals all the way to the IC from all inputs and outputs.
Finally, a big thank you to Sky and concrete Aaron. Sorry, Aaron, I've not managed to learn your last name yet, I promise to do better! Sky volunteered to help trace all the connections from the DB25 back to the controller box. He and I were able to verify all the parallel port pinouts. Aaron volunteered and did a really great job cleaning the sprocket rail on the gantry. It made a huge difference to the point where I can move the Y belt by hand with a bit of pressure. I have no idea how long you spent cleaning the beast but thank you! If anyone else wants to help with the machine, there are several workplans on the CNCRouter page: http://wiki.acemonstertoys.org/CNCRouter. Jump in and let us know what you're tackling!
At yesterday's annual election meeting (and BBQ), Ace Monster Toys elected its 2012-2013 board of directors. The winning individuals in a complex voting process (with no fraud!) were:
Details can be found on the wiki.
The board will be appointing a new president as Al has stepped down (happily) from that role after 1 1/2 years in favor of new blood.
Congratulation to the new board. Now time to get to work, slackers!
Ace Monster Toys may be down a laser right now, but we have acquired a Zcorp z402 powder printer. This prints 3D objects with various powder materials. There are groups at UC Berkeley and the University of Washington experimenting with alternative materials and hacking these printers as well.
Stefan, our resident Romainian, went down to Long Beach to pick this bad boy up. We found it on Ebay for a steal and did a pledge drive to acquire it with a bunch of people chipping in. The best proposed name for this machine so far is "Dusty."
We had this to the large CNC router we acquired last month and the currently needing a new laser tube 80w laser cutter, thus improving our available tools at AMT!
We had a short in the laser tube a bit over a week ago. Until we get a replacement tube from China (or locally) and do some diagnosis, the laser is offline.
Ace Monster Toys is a non-profit hackerspace based in Oakland, CA, dedicated towards education, hacking, and maker culture.

Police in upstate New York are searching for a suspect after shootings at a car wash and a barbershop a mile away left four people dead and at least two wounded.
State police tell Mohawk Valley local media outlets a man shot and killed two unidentified people Wednesday morning at Gaffey's Fast Lube in the village of Herkimer. Two others were killed at John's Barber Shop, in the nearby village of Mohawk.
They say a total of six people have been shot.
Herkimer Village police would only say that there was a shooting and a manhunt.
The two villages are about 65 miles east of Syracuse, on opposite sides of the Mohawk River.
Herkimer County Community College and local schools are on lockdown.

She gives 'birth' to a shadow in a cave close to Renly's encampment whilst Ser Davos Seaworth watches in horror.[2] The creature infiltrates Renly's camp and kills him in front of Catelyn Stark and Brienne. Renly's bodyguards blame Brienne for the deed.[3]
Davos is so disturbed by the appearance of the shadow creature that he convinces Stannis not to bring Melisandre along when their fleet and army attack King's Landing, in case the victory is credited to her powers rather than Stannis.[4]
Behind the scenes
Fans colloquially call the creatures "shadow babies" due to the nature of their creation.
In the books
In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Melisandre actually conjures forth two shadows on separate occasions to kill Stannis' foes - Renly and Cortnay Penrose. She needs to use Stannis' own life-essence to fuel the entities, but this hugely drains him, and she did not produce any more shadows. Davos noticed that Stannis looked ten years older than before the Battle of the Blackwater. Use of the creatures is thus limited in case their creation taxes the creator to the point of death. Melisandre offered Davos to use his life-essence to produce a shadow, but he refused to take any part in her witchcraft.
Shadows make an appearance in the 2012 Game of Thrones role-playing game. While they are visually identical to the "shadow babies", these shadows are created by Valarr Hill using blood magic and his own blood, as opposed to Melisandre birthing them. Valarr's shadows can be harmed by Valyrian steel weapons, due to the magical nature of the metal.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - Bryan Pena pushed the go-ahead run across and
Prince Fielder kept the lead in tact by gunning out Justin Smoak at the plate,
as the Detroit Tigers came away with a 2-1 victory in marathon 14-inning
pitchers duel at Safeco Field.
In a game highlighted by incredible pitching performances, which resulted in a
combined 40 strikeouts, the Tigers took advantage after Charlie Furbush (0-1)
put two runners on to start the 14th inning.
Blake Beavan took the mound for Seattle and the runners advanced on Jhonny
Peralta's sac bunt. Pena then got Victor Martinez to cross the plate with a
groundout to short.
Drew Smyly (1-0) picked up the win after Joaquin Benoit was able to preserve
the save in the bottom half of the final frame. Benoit gave up a single to
Smoak and two batter later, surrendered a double to Dustin Ackley.
With Smoak chugging around third, Torii Hunter fielded the ball cleanly and
got it to Fielder, who rifled the ball to Pena at home plate. Smoak, dead to
rights, tried bulldozing over Pena, but he held on for the tag to end the
Seattle's Felix Hernandez and Detroit's Max Scherzer set the tone with
dominant starts, each striking out 12 batters over eight innings. Hernandez
allowed four hits and an unearned run, while Scherzer gave up six hits and one
earned run.
